If you cannot even set up your dependencies, a container might look like a solution, but I can assure you, it isn't.

Yes! The Tiktok format has been fantastic for getting creators to consider what the core of their messages is and edit out everything else. A well-made Tiktok video watched 5x is more valuable than a 10 minute YouTube video where the camera is left running and filler added just to pad out the monetization minimum time.
Why bother with a container at that point? Doesn't it introduce as many problems as it solves?
One side-effect of that data being collected, though, is that a technologically advanced country like China could quite easily pilfer the data for their own purposes, not to mention the Five Eyes who don't even need to steal it! For actions in public anyway (like protests), that doesn't particularly matter, but it could be disastrous if anonymity is being relied on:

British investigative journalist Joe Bloggs wants to research a country's human rights abuses. Joe visits said country with a strong alibi, and covertly discovers the truth. He returns to Britain, publishing under a pseudonym a critical newspaper report exposing the matter. The British intelligence services note that he did so, not because he's under suspicion for anything but simply because they can. The country that he was researching intercepts that intelligence, learning of the journalist's pseudonym.

What do you think is going to happen to poor Joe when he revisits the country to do some more investigation?

Apologies for the confusion, but you've misread my comment and run with it. I don't think there's much here that's responsive to what I intended, so I'll elaborate a little:

> Non-deterministic compilers are broken.

I am not talking about non-determinism from run-to-run with identical sources and compiler version. I am talking about output variations between (1) different versions of the compiler, and (2) as the sources change slightly. Either of these things can easily nudge the heuristics a compiler uses in optimization into doing something different/worse.
The main goal of copyright is to provide an incentive for the creator to continue creating. Permanent royalties are in direct opposition to that goal. If anything they’re an incentive to retire.

Then there’s public domain, which you alluded to.
Russia added a module that had been sitting around for 13 years and was only finally launched because warranties on some parts would've begun expiring. Then the first thing that module did was flip the station. While yes, they have a history of doing better than the US on space stations, the point is that their space industry is a shadow of what it used to be.

This can be seen from how many next generation rockets, rocket engines and crewed vehicles they've announced over the years which have never really ended up amounting to much. For instance, the timeline on Orel makes Orion seem like a speedy development.

Finally, while the US did make that mistake at first, they've very obviously more than recovered that knowledge considering how many different engines, launch vehicles, spacecraft etc are in actual (as in having working hardware to show and not just mockups and promises) development by several different American companies.

Plus, much of the former Soviet space program can be attributed just as much to Ukraine, where a lot of the R&D happened ;)
One thing I've learned when deploying: Pin absolutely everything. From the exact Docker base image version, to the package installer (e.g. Poetry) version, to all dependencies.

The model of a Java String, as presented via the API, is as an array of 16-bit unsigned integers. Strings use a UTF-16-like encoding to represent non-BMP Unicode characters. The main difference from UTF-16 is that illegal sequences of 16-bit values (such as unpaired surrogates) are permitted.

The "UTF-8 by Default" refers to the default character set used for decoding and encoding, when Java Strings are read and written. Prior to JEP 400, the default character set was "platform specific." It was often UTF-8, but sometimes it was not, in which case hijinks ensued.

As noted elsewhere the internal representation of Java Strings is either UTF-16-like or is Latin-1, if all the characters of the String can be encoded in Latin-1. We think about using UTF-8 as an internal representation constantly. Doing so would potentially save space and reduce decoding/encoding overhead.

Unfortunately doing this is difficult. The key issue is that tons of code out there treats a String as a UTF-16 array (since that's what's in the API) so there are coding patterns like this:

for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
char ch = str.charAt(i);
// do something with ch
}

If the internal representation were UTF-8, simplistically, `charAt(i)` would change from O(1) to O(N). Of course there are cleverer things one could do, such as converting to UTF-16 lazily. Now `charAt()` allocates memory and has variable latency. Well then partial conversion could be done and the current iteration point could be cached. This might work, but now String has state, and it's thread-specific as well. Etc.
I can’t live without it.

The power of docker compose for the development process is unparalleled. Being able to declare my entire local environment in a single file in a consistent way, create and destroy it with a simple command, and share it with my co-workers eliminates so many issues.

Then being able to package my application in way that is repeatable and predictable is great. Then that same artifact is run across multiple environments spanning data centers around the world and on other developers’ machines via their compose files if needed.

We test the crap out of all of this as well. Docker helps there to generate ephemeral environments to run the bulk of the integration tests against every time we push to git.

Its just so damn powerful compared to what we had before…

There’s no dispute of him having healthy teeth extracted from slaves and having slaves, only on the detail of whether the dentures made from them were used in his own mouth or for someone else. It is also fact that his dentures included human teeth, but maybe not the specific 9 teeth we know he had taken from slaves

> Records at Mount Vernon show that Washington bought teeth from slaves

is what I said, had slaves and took their teeth, except that maybe he didn’t put the extracted teeth into his own mouth and used the slave teeth for some other purpose or a different person’s dentures, you’re correct on that and I thank you for sharing that detail.

In your universe, the aggregate debt comes due, markets tank, and rich people take the L like grown ups.

In my universe, the aggregate debt comes due, markets tank, rich people persuade politicians to pull the lever again, they do, the fed goes and buys their assets, markets go back up, and the fed balance sheet increases. The fed's long-term increasing balance sheet represents a long-term net cash flow right into rich peoples' pockets.

Again, if you are confident in your view of the universe, I'm asking you to put your money where your mouth is.

Dave Fanning presented Ireland’s only (non-pirate radio) nightly alternative music show championed her early work and introduced me to songs like Troy and Mandinka back in the late 80s. Even though I was a teenage metal-head at the time, I could recognise the raw power and emotion of her music.

If anyone hasn’t seen it, I’d recommend watching Nothing Compares¹, an Irish documentary about her early life up until the early 90s that only came out last year. I was delighted to see it come out and provide some counter-balance to the mainstream narrative. It was also good to see her musical legacy be recognised by being awarded the first ever Choice Music Prize for Irish Classic Album² earlier this year.

Asking about practical applications of a relatively mature technology is an entirely, 100% legitimate question to ask. It is frequently asked about many other techs and advances, although it's also frequently omitted since the answer is obvious and readily available/forthcoming. Not so with pretty much anything blockchain. So yeah, if a technology is a solution in search of a problem for ten years, that's gonna come up a lot, and it's entirely fair. What else could be more relevant than that question, given all the hype?

>but why would anyone want to own a personal computer?

Both you and I can effortlessly come up with a dozen or two concrete answers (reality, not hypotheticals) to this question with no preparation whatsoever. Can you come up with just one single example for smart contracts? Reality, not hypotheticals. Heck, I'd settle for hypotheticals that are at least well on their way to reality.
Thank you for clarifying. Is it difficult to get people on board with the "transhumanist persecution" thing, or do people take to it naturally, in your experience?
Every time someone says that therapy is worthless, I have to remember that Jungians (and Neo-Freudians) exist. Whereas whenever someone says a therapist has really helped, it's because they've been introduced to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for the first time.
Most planes aren’t equipped with any camera systems. The videos commercial pilots and passengers use are their phones which have trouble focusing on objects half a mile away (which is very close for an aircraft to be next to another one but very far for your phone to focus on).

Military pilots do have camera systems like the ATFLIR pods on F-18s but the pentagon only declassifies those videos when it’s useful - like when the Chinese jet made an American military plan fly through its fumes recently
The same reason you'd use one to begin with, primarily isolation of processes. That doesn't go away just because the binary is statically compiled. But you don't have to, of course, plenty of people don't.

That was genuinely assumed to work and arguably did somewhat happen initially until Xi got to power.
Now you are back to the “it works on my machine” issues. Seen a couple of times where a precompiled binary works okay on one OS but the behavior changes when ran on another OS.

This is just moving the complexity to your build process.
It's true that pyrolytic graphite does this, but it's also worth noting that pyrolytic graphite is one of a very few materials that has such a strong conventional diamagnetism: the list includes pyrolytic graphite and metallic bismuth and ends there. I have actually searched the literature for such materials on a few occasions simply because they seem like they would make a fun decoration, and PG (and "highly oriented" PG) is pretty much the only one (bismuth is too dense).
It's hard to guess, but posting that CSAM as evidence in service of some open-source investigation (I.e.

It is probably exciting for Apple to contemplate support for this type of platform. To see other cultural approaches is probably worth giving some freedom to becuase it will stretch their own thinking.
The article seems to conflate a Statement Of Work (SOW), a scope discussion document, and a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

In my jurisdiction, the local transit authority keeps a database of every fare payment ever made, with no expiry policy or any other future-looking privacy measures. The records are easily and routinely subpoenaed by law enforcement, and non-anonymized datasets are shared with researchers, as long as they pinky-swear to not compromise anyone's privacy. You can pay in cash, but have to pay an extra fee for a new fare card each time you want a new unique ID.

Nobody seems to care.

Tip: All matter, 100% of it, every last molecule, is biodegradable. The only differences are the time it takes, and the damage caused to other things while it degrades.

From this you can figure out that the recycling industry operates by calculating what it can recycle or safely degrade for a profit, and where it draws the line for "too hard, not profitable".
> Which pre-Columbian Indians?

From what I read, all of them that were investigated.

> so they were closer to a free market than any industrialized state.

The Indian economies were pretty basic, as far as I can tell. They did engage in trade, but also raiding and slavery. They did not appear to have much of a conception of inalienable rights, or of individuals owning plots of land, although there was certainly the concept of tribal land. Frankly, not a whole lot is known about pre-Columbian Indian societies. Even estimates of their numbers vary by over an order of magnitude.

Much of what we do know comes from random accounts and letters written by Europeans, such as how the Cheyenne lived and operated.

Farming in colonial times and in the US got its start with giving away land to settlers who promised to farm it.

The famines ended in the US around 1800 and never reappeared. We're doing fine.

It's a good read. Even over 15 years ago, as a newcomer to this country, I found Greyhound rides to be fascinating, while certainly not being well-run by any stretch of the imagination. And it does expose you to parts of American society that those on the right-hand side of the distribution don't often see.

> something I saw repeatedly: the exclusion of those without smartphones or credit cards. The cashless society appears to be winning.

> “As of 25 January 2023 – you will need photo ID to buy tickets.” Yet another barrier between those with little money, no fixed address, no car, no passport or credit card and their ability to travel.

I'm in favor of retaining (both legally as well as culturally) cash as a medium of exchange, as well as maintaining and restoring a high-trust, cohesive society where most private transactions don't require showing one's papers.

Unfortunately, powerful forces are against both. Cash transactors have long been treated with suspicion by authorities, and the coming age of CBDC will further demean what it even means to have money. And the security state continues to impose one checkpoint after another on civil society, which I have no doubt was behind Greyhound's policy on requiring ID.

I'd certainly vote for a congressperson that would take action on either of those matters.

> Greyhound stations now often close between buses to keep homeless people out – yet another communal space closed to those without the money to access private spaces

Greyhound stations shouldn't also need to be homeless shelters, and it seems like smart business to spare paying customers from the antisocial, erratic behavior exhibited by many homeless people. This seems like a strange ding on Greyhound.
Probably companies over inflating contract prices then sending some of that money to these programs.

Nah, supporters of most of the tech (chemistry, biology, EE, whatever) can easy explain applications to layman, as well as explain why one would use it over alternatives.

There are some exceptions of course -- one example is "memristors", an very specialized EE concept that claims to revolutionize computing for least 20 years and yet never does. And if you look at its HN discussions, you'll see mostly skepticism and negativity, kinda like for blockchains.

I once worked with a scientist who could only replicate their results on a single computer which had been extensively modified over time. Like, hot patching the C library and stuff.

Maybe a few years of recession will do enough real harm to companies who just want to price gouge and squeeze their customers for every penny that they'll get the message, but there will also be a lot of unnecessary harm to people whose behavior has nothing to do with the rising prices we've seen.
