Neither the GDPR nor the ePrivacy Directive (cookie law) requires consent for cookies that are technically necessary to operate a website, including those to reflect a user-initiated login action. This is separate from consent to tracking for advertising, marketing, and analytics purposes.

The cookie law doesn’t pretend to require consent for non-essential cookies placed on end user decides - it does require that consent. But, yeah many of the popups handle this in misleading ways where the verb “pretend” is quite accurate. This is exactly the same problem of under enforcement and misaligned incentives that limits the effectiveness of the GDPR, even though the two laws have different scopes and requirements.

Yes, you correctly understood the GDPR downside I was describing.
I looked at a bunch of these 2 years ago and ended up using PhotoView for a private gallery. It had the right mix of simplicity and features, and I was actually able to get it running.

Whether it's a bummer or not, the point is this is how every website has worked for the last 30 years.

I find that if you look closely at old books, the spacing is pretty variable. I have one book by my desk from 1895 and the spacing after a period is more like 2½ normal spaces, but I have another book from 1978 and the spacing after period is basically identical to the spacing after a word. There's not much consistency from book to book.

We know what people want, though: they want the sewage system fixed and to continue paying the same amount for water and sewage as before, and they've been convinced they can have it by cynical populist campaigners and politicians telling them that they were already paying for this and the evil, greedy privatised water companies just stole the money and used it for shareholder profits. (They were not. The amounts the regulators allowed the water companies to charge were way too low to cover it, basically by design since people weren't willing to pay that much and didn't consider it worth fixing until a year or so ago. All of the shareholder dividends post-privatisation were not enough to pay for it, and of course without those dividends no-one would invest anyway.) Oh, and they don't want the inconvenience of having their streets dug up to install the new infrastructure either.
With Arch you don't get such fun times because Arch doesn't generally backport patches. They just update.
> No. I will use the OS I like and others will use the OS they prefer. It’s called choice.

But I can't use the OS I like. I can't go in a store, pick a laptop I like, and get it with an OS I like. I can get it with an OS I don't like; and gamble that I can install on it an OS that I do like. It would have been very different if Linux market share on the desktop were in double digits.

To fix the "future behavior" problem, maybe the law could work like this: make selling a device at all require escrowing the full source code, and if the manufacturer stops releasing security updates, the government releases the source code.
It's unfortunately Electron. It started out as a 60mb executable, but over the 5 years of updates the installer ballooned (it has to include FFmpeg in it for users' convenience).

I do no paid advertising -- promoted it a few dozen times on Reddit and a few times on Quora. Most traffic is organic (I suspect people search for "porn hub" but type "video hub" and stumble across the top result).

To be fair, architects will obsess about choosing the right door knob to fit their overall design.

And some architect will obsess about novel ways of opening the door – although it's not always desirable, it may occasionally result in something that makes sense in given context.

It's also fair to add that some design prevail only due to tradition - the US round door knobs are a great example. It's really bad design, if you think of it..
This is a logical approach when many of the launches are delivering your own payloads to orbit. Best case, no issues and you get more data and more launches out of a booster. Worst case, you loose a few dozen Starlinks and you learn a lot about how your vehicle will eventually fail and maybe learn where to design in improvements to avoid that specific failure case.

That said, I'm sure they are still well within the safety margins, but pushing a bit (with little risk) to be able to see if your margins are correctly placed is just smart.
> I will use the OS I like and others will use the OS they prefer. It’s called choice.

That's a strange point to make. The whole point of this users changing their minds, and deciding that they prefer Linux.

So it's not about choice then?

You wrote an Android app in C++.

A lot of folks seem to have a view which is as simple as “government is inefficient, and companies are efficient.” There is certainly _some_ truth to this statement, but it’s so simple as to be effectively meaningless. And such simple takes on this issue can lead to some pretty adverse and unintended effects.
No problem, if that happens the EU commission will just introduce the same law under a different name for the fourth time. Rinse and repeat...

Yep, ENOSPC and BTRFS are old friends
I'm with you here: can't do stack depth for anything. When I code complicated things I'll quite often stack them up as inline blocks and separate the blocks with 'begin filter Hi' and then 'end filter Hi' 'begin filter Mid' and so on. I'll be able to process it easier if I can see where similar things are repeating themselves. Basically, heresy :)

The thing people don't often get is that when I code it's to a purpose other than making the code. So I'm thinking about quite a few things outside of the code that's making those things happen with the samples I'm working with, and the stuff not related to how it's coded is typically a lot more important.

Hence, my stack is always going to be catastrophically, tragically pitiful, unless the thing I'm working on is quite useless :) and in that case, why am I bothering to code at all?
I like it. I didn’t realize that “diverging to zero” was a thing—wonder if that’s what the author had in mind, or if there’s an example with real divergence.
Let’s also quote why

“We report racial and socioeconomic disparities without attempting to control for other covariates. First, if New York City residents of different races face different levels of police deployments, that disparate impact is itself important; it can also bias algorithms trained on downstream policing data irrespective of the true causal mechanism. Second, controlling for other factors in policing data can be difficult to interpret, introducing concerns about omitted variable bias and model misspecification which make it difficult to identify which factor is truly the “cause” of higher police deployments. For the sake of transparency and simplicity, therefore, we report results by stratifying each variable separately, noting that these disparities are themselves important but that multiple causal mechanisms may underlie them.”
I'm sure as hell locked in. Linux Desktop doesn't even remotely come close to offer the things I ask out of a PC (high quality music production and image editing). On the other hand, both Windows and macOS do.

And let's not even get started about work.
You hit the nail on the head with OS upgrades and longevity. Android consistently found a way to stop offering me OS updates. Whether it was the manufacturer, or the phone carrier, I would by a flagship phone and within 2 years stop receiving OS updates.

Meanwhile, I switched to Apple and skip 2-4 generations at a time and hand down my phones to my kids, who still receive updates. It was only the end of last year that we phased the last iPhone 6 out of our family, a phone released September of 2015. A phone Apple replaced the battery in for $35 halfway through its lifetime.

I’ll never own an Android phone as long as the carriers have any control over OS updates or baked in applications.

Oh, and let’s not forget while phone backups automatically to the cloud. Every new phone I’ve purchased has continued on right where the last one left off. Settings and customizations I setup in 2015 are still working to this day on a phone that’s only a year old.
I worked at a software shop with very high retention rates (like, 30 years, 10 years on average), and the inverse can also be an issue, "I own this product and it's my problem not yours."
Having seen both situations, I personally believe that it can also be that a new project comes to exist simply because the old one is too complicated to understand; some things you need to work through in order to get.
Someone here on HN said recently, "people forget that the primary job of the software engineer is as a learning agent for the org" or similar, and the more I see, the more I believe it. I used to think it was all about efficient automation, but I'm not so sure anymore.
Are you suggesting that it is printers causing loathing that is behind the young men's table-flipping angst?

I don't think it's the printer company policies at play, I am pretty sure a CRT monitor would be a more than adequate substitute in the "smash rooms" (if you could even find those any longer).
Yes, that paper is not very convincing.

Because we know for sure that more plants have been fossilized without being decomposed, it is certain that either the plants were growing faster or after death they were decomposed slower or there were some phenomena that caused the frequent burial of the dead plants before being decomposed.

The last cause is implausible as an explanation for something that had a duration of more than one hundred million years and which never happened later.

Maybe the plants were growing faster, due to a higher content of carbon dioxide in the air, but that is not enough for a quantitative explanation, especially because if efficient decomposers had existed, their population size would have increased to match the available food. The decomposition must also have been much slower than today.

So there is little doubt that the wood was decomposed much slower than today. What is much less certain, and this is the only part of this research paper that may be correct, is that lignin was the culprit. Perhaps the fungi of Carboniferous and Permian already had all the digestive enzymes of today, but all of them were less optimized than the modern enzymes, so the wood decomposition speed was lower than today.
Your post is absolutely disgusting for no benefit.

It makes your question not worrg answering.

"Linode’s technical writing team"

This is the key. Someone has ownership over the docs. This is their job. If you expect programmers to invest into good docs, you need to measure them on it. Otherwise, you are hoping they write good docs. If you don't value the docs they write, they probably won't spend time on it. Like most people, they will put effort into what gets measured at performance review time.

Yeah, rail privatisation in the UK doesn't really allow operators to compete with each other. Since competition is the only thing that motivates good service, low prices, etc, that means those have been on the decline.

Not even the free market diehards can point out the competition in rail travel.
This is highly specific to the period of time with rapidly rising interest rates - not generally true. It does sting though as someone still looking to buy a house.
Both these things are very well possible on Linux. Maybe you are more concerned about specific applications which have not been ported by their developers?
Isn’t atmos not specifically multi channel as in traditional 5.1/ 7.1, but Atmos is positional sound that then generates the correct speaker positioning on the amplifier? For instance my home setup has support for 5.2.4 channels, two bass and 4 risen speakers. Additionally you can adapt the positioning of the rear speakers and the amp will adjust the audio to compensate.

So you could just export atmos to a 5.1 mix, but that is not a copy of atmos tracks.
Evaluating the ChatGPT Code Interpreter
This seems to have been written under the assumption that these "elaborate security implementations" discussed are designed to serve the interests of the owner (or, these days, let's better call that person the "user" instead?) of the particular machine/hardware/node. I do not share that sentiment, and believe they are designed and implemented to service the interests of the content industry and their ilk, and purported benefits for Joe User are a pretty much a gigantic fig leaf.
Interesting articles. For the size estimation, it might be interesting to measure what a perfect estimate would give you. Because in theory that estimate could be done based on builds in a trusted environment and saved into Cargo, especially for large popular crates.

I’m also curious if it might be possible to pipeline the CGU stage so that you feed the data from rustc to LLVM incrementally as you lower MIR into LLVM IR without having the entire CGU upfront. That may help reduce total processing time by hiding brief IO bubbles that take up a lot of time in aggregate (yes it’s CPU bound, but there’s still going to be implicit IO like memory) and also reduce total peak memory usage for hopefully obvious reasons. To gain full benefit though you might need the entire thing to be pipelined all the way through (from generating the MIR to lowering to LLVM IR) and that may be at odds with things like optimized builds which need to do analysis from a more global perspective (which would similarly inhibit the peak memory usage gains).
First one is far far easier for me to understand for two reasons:

* The table-like structure of the conditions instead of nesting like the second one. The two-dimensional relationship makes it trivial to reason about - understanding it works at a higher level than the individual variables.

* The body of the conditional is entirely self-contained and can be understood separately from the conditional instead of having to understand them both at the same time.

The refactor they suggest at the end only works so simply because of my second reason here. It's kind of an improvement (self-contained logic that can be reused), but kind of not (now you have to look in two locations to actually understand what it's doing), but either way isn't really necessary if you read code at a higher level than token-by-token.
Any recommendations for Linux based laptops for software development that is < $1000?
Dürer painted himself at centre of Renaissance altarpiece in revenge, research
This is a wholly valid point when it comes to Linux desktop penetration. However as an aside, it seems to me that the computers for sale in actual stores are usually of terrible quality. They’re the last the computers I would choose, and this isn’t really a Windows or ChromeOS thing. (I’d just wipe them and install Linux in any case) This doesn’t detract from your point at all, but it just seems like the most-available computers are the ones companies _want_ to sell rather than the computers that savvy consumers _want_ to buy.
Try to "park downhill". If you have to stop working on something leave it some state that will make resuming easier.
I think to Europeans – especially Germany, France, Scandinavia… socialism refers to what you call Democratic socialism. Wheres the far ends of the spectrum are Communism vs Capitalism. I think this actually used to be a very natural distinction although the Neo-liberal movement have done a good job to paint out any form of socialism to be equal to Communism.

Singapore is doing something like this as they move to free market electricity. the network is owned by a government controlled company but everything else like maintaining the network etc as well electric suppliers are private. They all are charged a fix amount for network use. They tried it first with fiber internet and after successful implementation are not doing it slowly with electricity.

"I hope he had more to say than that"

Yes, he did. A lot. I suggest you watch the video. He goes into how Atmos isn't anything new, it's not unique, how it's a basic money grab, how it would be better as an open standard, how Atmos is fine if you like it (as music listening is purely subjective), how remixes of music in Atmos are generally objectively terrible (and, in most cases, not what the artist would have wanted) and a lot more.

Benn Jordan tries very hard to be unbiased and well researched in almost everything he presents. For him to come to the conclusion that Atmos isn't really worth the cost barrier to entry is something I (and many others) will take into account. I'd say Dolby Labs would also do well to take it into account, but they don't have a very good track record with listening to valuable criticism. When it comes to criticism, their noise reduction is perhaps too effective.

It's also worth noting that they love re-inventing surround sound and charging licensing fees for the privilege to put a badge on your product ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby#Dolby_surround_systems ).

IMHO Atmos is the 3D TV of audio, except it could be good if it was an open standard.

FYI, as far as I can tell, Apple (and most others) are delivering Atmos in lossy formats. These may be good, but they aren't by any means state of the art for multi-channel. Server side de-muxing of spatial audio to the required number of channels would mean less overall processing (channel combos could be cached) and higher quality delivery using open standards (multi-channel FLAC supports up to 8 channels, and it's an open format which would allow easy extension). This would be better for the consumer (bandwidth is not an argument in these days of 4K+ video streaming), arguably better for the artists and publishers (better quality audio to the consumer), but it wouldn't make anywhere near as much money in licensing for Dolby.
