When your must or wort gets contaminated due to lack of sterilization it's unlikely to become poisonous. It's more likely to become vinegar. It's the fact that you're using uncontaminated fruit juice or boiled wort that makes the beer or wine safer to drink than water out of the cistern beside the outhouse.

my fastest purchase of a book so far, after reading the first paragraph and the amazon review.

I appreciate any reading material that helps with understanding how the world works. Please share if you have other recommendations.
I dunno, are they? AMD should to pay someone to put up some "how to multiply a 2x2 matrix on our GPU for the average programmer!" tutorials somewhere obvious. I saw a lot of GPU lockups before I gave up on trying and decided that it wasn't worth it. Maybe compute shaders were a thing I should have tried. To be honest, I don't know much about them because my attempts in the space were shut down pretty hard by driver bugs linked to OpenCL and ROCm.

I thought it was just me for a while, but after watching George Hotz's famous meltdown trying to program on an AMD GPU I do wonder if they're underestimating the power of a few good public "how to use the damn thing" sessions. They've been pushing ROCm which would probably be great if it worked reliably.
See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/low-alcohol-descr... (as mentioned by darrenf elsewhere in this thread):

"Alcohol free – this should only be applied to a drink from which the alcohol has been extracted if it contains no more than 0.05% abv"

But: "the decision was made to replace the legislation with guidance setting out the four existing descriptors that industry will be expected to follow"

So (1) it's not clear that Brewdog and Lucky Saint (mentioned by SCdF elsewhere in this thread) are breaking an actual law by failing to follow the guidance which Erdinger apparently does claim to follow, and (2) perhaps that rule really does apply only to "a drink from which the alcohol has been extracted", so perhaps it wouldn't apply to a shandy made by diluting alcoholic beer?

I have to say that that part in Rust Trademark Policy also gave me a stop. It's just so weird to single it out.
And he’s right, for jobs that don’t require physical proximity.

We just got a return to work notice alongside an active shooter emergency plan in the same week. Screw that.

A google search for S&G code Books turned up nothing. Any more info? Is that related to mechanical or electronic dials?
If anyone does, it’s Google engineers. How much are they paid again? $100k? $200k? $300k? Seriously they have no agency here?
Both should be blamed. A proposal like this would make me not want to hire Ben Wiser, Borbala Benko, Philipp Pfeiffenberger, or Sergey Kataev, ever.

There are projects one of integrity should simply refuse to work on, if they make the world a worse place. With Google on a resume, it's not exactly hard to find jobs. People who agree to work on projects like these are defective human beings.
Yeah, but that's because Linux doesn't have a stable ABI, and really everyone does that these days.

Both Mac and Windows just dump a whole bunch of libraries into the install directory.

I think on Flatpak you can update the base platform package and have the applications use that automatically, so there's that.

Makes sense. This is the (labor) market selecting on services it wants to support. Employers like Google have no sort of leverage or responsibility here what-so-ever.

3.8% is fairly low alcohol content. Someone with any tolerance could sip those most of the day and not ever appear drunk.

A lot of stuff is neither on Spotify nor YouTube. One of my musical special interests is a very popular Polish rock band from the 80s and even they don't have their whole discography on Spotify yet, and I had to upload some rarer stuff to the Internet myself. It improved over the years though - just a few years ago you only had a few albums of their discography on Spotify. Now it's just one studio album missing - although most of their live albums aren't there as well and that probably won't change anytime soon; and not even talking about songs that got only released as singles.

Once you go "slightly less popular than one of the top bands in the country", stuff quickly becomes hard to find across the whole Internet, not just Spotify or YouTube, often even when CDs are still available to buy (which isn't a given either).
Excited for all the YouTube videos about this.
I hate to say it, but if you used Chrome to read this, then you're part of the problem.

Awful stuff like this wouldn't stand a chance if Google didn't have such a near-monopoly position.

For the sake of the open internet, please switch to a different browser. IMO, Firefox is best*, but even something chromium based is probably fine. Just not Google Chrome.

* On desktop - Firefox is a bit weaker on Android, with an extemely limited set of extensions (but still better than Chrome with no extensions) and just a Safari wrapper on iOS, with no extensions. (But sync works everywhere!)

(I posted something similar in a different thread recently but I think it bears repeating.)
Well, before spotify they made zero money from me and a lot of other people. Spotify also allowed a lot more people to publish their music. Increased supply and higher competition leads to lower prices.

1999 with its overpriced CDs is never coming back.
You might want to check almost anyone else searching something on google and see if they get past the first few paid links/ads.
That’s how evolution happens. There’s just little and bigger leaps. This was a big leap. The problem is now, if I understand you, producing big perfect crystals.
> But for almost all new factory workers their wealth, working conditions and working hours were a huge step up from their previous occupations as sheep herders, unskilled agri-labourers and subsistence farmers (with side hustles in proto-industrial home work).

That’s the exact opposite of reality. They worked 12-16 hour shifts for unlivable wages, crammed several families per room, and lived without any of the infrastructure that makes high densities livable like modern sewer systems. It was the age of cholera and truly awful living conditions.

People didn’t move into the cities because it was better for them but because industrialization forced them to. Peasants didn’t start asking for worker’s rights until the industrial revolution because it was so much worse than working conditions in subsistence farming.
I love tree maps for disk space visualization.

A tree map is not used to see the tree structure. The tree is actually the information that is hidden. Especially if you use the treemap without borders/padding/bezels/names (IMO if you display those it ruins the usability of a treemap). What the tree map is good for is:

- seeing a flat representation of the entire space and therefore instantly seeing the largest files no matter how deeply nested. With a tree or a sunburst you need to drill down from largest folder to largest file because there are only so many concentric rings that can shown. With a flat file list ordered by size you lose all other information.

- seeing rough percentages by type. Maybe you have plenty of small videos taking space. Maybe you have just a few huge videos. Maybe you have one big video and plenty of small ones. All of this can be seen at a glance but is obscured by a summary by file type and is obscured by a sunburst or a tree because of depth.

- seeing the distribution of those file types. Are all of the small videos in the same place? Are they spread around and mixed with other files. Are certain types usually present together? For example if you store RAWs and Jpegs paired together you would be able to see that as a surface of two colors mixed together. If you store RAWs and Jpegs completely separated you would also be able to see that as two distinct surfaces of different colors..

- seeing similar structures. Since a tree map places surfaces near each other if they are neighbours or near neighbors in the tree structure, it is usually easy to spot duplicate trees because they look similar even when they are not identical. A duplicate finder is a separate tool and it also doesn't handle well the scenario of duplicate but changed and therefore not identical.
Yeah, but you know what? Many of us do have choices and many actively do make those choices. Lets not pretend that we are struggling low paid workers whose families would starved if we changed the job or asked for reassignment.

Also, many unethical choices are made or advocated for by engineers themselves.

> compensate for lost CD revenue

Oh poor, poor Sony/BMG/EMI CEOs who absolutely couldn't buy another yacht while lowering their expenses by literally making money out of thin air by literally copying digital music. /me wets a handkerchief with the tears of compassion.

You are spamming that graph, but only because you think it supports your opinion.

Except it does not. Go to RIAA, select Adjusted for inflation and select all years.

You would see what by 2017 the revenue is on par with 1981.

What happened in 1990-1998 what skyrocketed the revenue levels to be twice of that period?

The compact discs.

What happened in 2001-2008 what returned the revenue to almost 1981 levels?

Nobody wanted the fucking compact discs anymore.

They are bulky, you need a good player with at least 40sec anti-shock, you can't run with it, you need a fanny pack or something to even have it with you if you don't want to clip it on your jeans belt (if you don't even have a belt, eg track suit or skirt/dress) and god forbid you wanted more then one album (ie CD) with you, now you need to bring the CD bag with you.

And why people didn't want CDs no more?

Flash and for some time - 1"/1.8" HDD players.

People tasted how it can be to have multiple albums (and with HDD players - your whole library) on a small, compact device which is immune or way more resistant to the shock, doesn't chew the batteries and hey! shows the artist and song title!

'Piracy killed music industry [revenue]' is the bullshit, it's just what by 2008 you could no longer sell a $0.10 piece of polycarbonate for $19.99, people didn't wanted them anymore. Of course your 200% profit margin doesn't exists anymore and it shouldn't had existed in the first place.

> Sandboxing is a much better approach to security than the Unix permissions model, which is nearly obsolete.

That's an incredibly low bar. They're a bad model because the Unix API surface is huge and underspecified; there are a zillion different ways apps could potentially interact with each other. Some of them are giant security holes. Some of them are vital to some obscure corner of app functionality. Most of them are both.
Sometimes they are relevant and I click. Maybe few times in the last year. Quite a handy way to discover something you had no idea existed. A specialized driving school in my area, for example. Not searchable through Google Maps or Google; it's specific, but not specific enough.

Alcohol does change the surface tension so foaming will be different. Ever seen a security guard shake someone's water bottle to check if it's really water?

The thing that makes beer foam stay there is the protein content. Yeast contributes some, but it's also in the grain. The foam should be less different if you compared something filtered like Heineken and Heineken 0.0.
Because peas contain sugar.
The sulfur mining industry never recovered from the drop in revenue after someone discovered a way to extract it on scale from low-quality coal. Poland had a massive drop in revenue despite being the one selling both products. Does it mean they should attach a coal burning license agreement prohibiting the extraction process to each container, or try to prosecute people selling filters?
Wow, you're not kidding. I figured how hard could 2 minutes possibly be. Turns out, pretty hard if you've never done it before.
I have not seen a compiler that incidentally ICEs (crashes) more than IAR does (experience from c. 5 yrs ago.) Early-days rustc may come close, but experience is likely skewed by my perspective as a rustc contributor too.

And then we were always using IAR in a way that disabled all and every optimization; if enabling them did not lead to a compiler imploding, the compiler would produce invalid machine code even for trivial examples. This defeated any possible code size benefits that IAR may have had over GCC/Clang.

To top if off, I had an impression that reports of that nature weren’t really considered critical.
Well I don't tell myself anything like this because honestly I don't think anything about it is "cool".
It's much cooler to not understand it, which makes you the cool guy :)
In the above he's mentioning that

Privacy features like user-agent reduction, IP reduction, preventing cross- site storage, and fingerprint randomization make it more difficult to distinguish or reidentify individual clients, which is great for privacy, but makes fighting fraud more difficult. This matters to users because making the web more private without providing new APIs to developers could lead to websites adding more:

- sign-in gates to access basic content

- invasive user fingerprinting, which is less transparent to users and more difficult to control

- excessive challenges (SMS verification, captchas)

My question is whether there is any data to back up those claims.
Well, sugar needs an intermediate step to cause cancer, obesity, which is something that can be controlled. Not to mention that quite a lot of foods have sugar in them and you can't really take it out. On the other hand, red meat and bacon are known direct cancer risks, which you can't control, and you don't really need bacon and red meat at all, it's something that you can easily take out of your diet.

> It works nicely in your theory, in practice no one does this because you always have a chain in which some dep is not trusted.

It works fine in practice; I've seen at least one big company do it. It doesn't happen in the public ecosystem only because people don't care enough.

> It's a poor ecosystem, dominated by untrustworthy participants. There's no digital identity verification of participants or their packages. anyone can claim to be whoever they want to.

Fixing that isn't hard. The Java/Maven ecosystem already enforces OpenPGP signing of all package uploads; NPM could do the same if they wanted.
The only truly difficult control flow to implement is unrestricted goto. Conditionals/loops/function invocations are trivial at best, slightly annoying (due to juggling the scopes/environments) at worst.
