The Netherlands has both. "Laster" requires the accusation to be untrue. "Smaad" is the broader form that does not require the accusation to be untrue.

Justifications defined in the law are "necessary defense" and "common interest". The second one is specified as "believed in good faith that the charges were true and that the public interest required the charge." IANAL, but I think this can apply to social media witch hunts to at least some extent.
It's not normal. You'd be able to transfer the money, after the outlandishly weird step of... informing your bank about the transaction :-)
True, but they only had enough power on-board for it to last until 2025 anyway, so it's already on its last legs.

It's a right pain as it means when I get an authentication popup I can't use my integrated password manager like I can with say Slack's authentication popups.

It is quite scary being a software engineer and living in the UK right now. This is going to really damage the (already bad) job market.

I’d learn to run OpenSCAP with CIS and the NIST CSF to get an idea of secure operations. The former can detect and remediate a lot of the issues these types of guides are discussing.

But really the idea of being successful at anything while also having no knowledge of it is kind of a farcical contradiction.

It’s like saying, look, I just want to build a rocket engine. Tell me how without all the physics mumbo jumbo.
eMacs is just about the only word that autocorrect refuses to spell correctly, no matter how many times I nudge it to. And they haven't even sold a product called eMac since 2006. It’s a recurring reminder that this phone is owned by Apple, not by me. Frustrating.

I do agree with the need to make it more approachable indeed.

It is too much a "language of experts" at the moment, although it is not caused by the language itself, more by the topics covered in general.

It's almost as if the "web3" product which people actually want is to move dollars illicitly and sometimes to spend them gambling on a 24/7 casino.
This court ruling seems entirely reasonable. If a trillion dollar corporation is profiting from someone spreading malicious lies about you, it seems logical that the victim has some legal recourse against both entities.
I'd love to find some authoritative papers on the subject but this is based on 40 years of experience with the subject of computing and RSI, and I have never had any reason to question it because it works for me and was the best advice I ever got from a physiotherapist: change your keyboard often and you'll avoid RSI.

It works, that's all I can say about it. RSI problems go away whenever I switch keyboard/mouse setups.

It's pretty compelling at this point that a chinese lab had a significant undertaking in the development and spread of covid and if you're looking for a 100% undeniable explanation it doesn't exist because that opportunity to investigate is long gone and the Chinese gov forbade anyone from doing a meaningful investigation. Also complicating the truth coming out is that the USA likely played a part through NIH funding the Wuhan lab.

Why anyone acts like it's a conspiracy at this point is pretty funny. This is certainly the time to be skeptical.

35 thousand Kelvin in a "cold" nuclear fusion reactor is much closer to room temperature than the temperature in a "hot" nuclear fusion reactor. Both types of reactors do not produce excess energy, but the cold reactor has already found application while the hot reactor will be ready in 25 years. Which kind of reactor is hoax?

Interesting to note that two of your decision points are on "shipping product improvements at a regular cadence" or "shipping so slow that it's negatively impacting customers". Both relate to a productivity discussion, ie "how to define what it means to 'ship' as an engineering team". In that sense, we're aligned on why it's important to measure productivity.
It would however be a mistake to try to optimize for maximum productivity in a vacuum, but note that this is not what this thread is about. This thread is about the unit of measurement that people use in their teams. In that sense it's purely a research / curiosity question
I don't think there's any encryption going on there, just because it's so old

This makes it sound as if this is somehow unnatural,

No, merely that other species are capable of devastation as well.

The time of biblical reasoning is over, we tend to view the world through that historical optic. We are not separate from nature, as the bible states, we are part of nature, everything we do is natural, as well.

I find it amusing, that some of your arguments are directly counter to environmentalists arguments against hydro electric. Before "green concrete" was discussed, these arguments revolved around damaged ecosystems, blocking fish spawning, and turning forest into lake, and marsh.

All things that beavers do.

This was supposedly bad, because some species would be replaced by others, but apparently it's good, if beavers do so? Some beaver colonies change the environment so much, their impact can be seen from space.

Note that at no point did I say beavers are bad, but here's an example. Where I live, in rural Quebec, there is a mountain range. It hosts 100s of species found no where else.

Some of those species are at risk, as they occupy a small area, from beaver activity.

Beavers are not bad or good, but they are destructive by their very nature. And that means, the result may be bad.
To some, they're the same thing.
Won't everyone just use a VPN?
Everything important goes over https so at worst you’re leaking some DNS, which probably isn’t a major issue.

If you VPN over the top, you leak even less.
OFCOM is a scam and should be disbanded.
Yes, I would. I use Wireguard client with kill switch. If I don't have a Wireguard connection, nothing works. The only caveat is the Wireguard server runs on my home connection. If down, 'my internet is down'. If slow, 'my internet is slow'. But actually it appears to be pretty reliable. Another downside is all the traffic is tunneled through my home IPv4 and I might not want other people to know such. But that too seems to be an edge case. Against a possibly hostile or hacked WLAN network which I decide to use, it works fine, though I generally use it over mobile (which I've configured to only use LTE / 5G NR, not lower as these are easier to MITM and I don't want a downgrade attack although in theory in such a case, too, Wireguard client w/killswitch would protect).
Debian is its own worst enemy with things like this. It’s why we eventually moved off it at a previous job, because deploying Python server applications on it was dreadful.

I’m sure it’s better if you’re deploying an appliance that you hand off and never touch again, but for evolving modern Python servers it’s not well suited.
Well, productivity measures how fast you deliver new value. Fixing a bug is about repairing value that you thought you had delivered but actually did not. Counting bugs as "value" would be double counting.

I remember Paulson talking about how ATMs would fail. AIG won’t pay it’s policies. The US equities would crash even further. I hate to tell you but ALL lies, blatant “misinformation” as the new term is.

They needed you to be terrified to save their own skins. Blackrock became the largest landlord in the country afterwards. The very companies that facilitated and promoted and literally caused the bubble and crash were rewarded.

The waitress and mechanic couple with a baby who had carefully saved up $30K never got the opportunity to buy that house down the street from their parents for $90K at foreclosure from the bankrupt banks. Nope, Blackrock exchanged their bad paper, worth, 20c for $1 to your very government for new fresh cash, bought it instead at $120K, down from $150K.

Go crony capitalism! Which isn’t what markets are about.

The cheap motel would have a connection and a cheap Wi-Fi router, and you’d get the whole bandwidth (even today sometimes I find a fat nearly gigabit pipe in the middle of nowhere).

The expensive larger hotel would have a fancy barely working system from Cisco that monitored and limited bandwidth. Sometime, however, there would be an Ethernet Jack under the table that would give you full 100mb/s.

Am I the only one around here who hates the whole PUT PATCH nonsense? When I write APIs, you’re either querying data with a GET, or mutating data with a POST. Everything else is a waste of time.
the World Wide Web was originally created as a system for sharing documents

I agree with your post but every time someone says this about the early web I feel a strong stabbing sensation in the back of my mind. It's just wrong. The web was never just a document sharing system. In Tim Berners-Lee's original memo he talks about dynamic pages that are built on the fly, and 'special links' to external apps.

To quote the memo;

"Hypertext allows documents to be linked into "live" data so that every time the link is followed, the information is retrieved. If one sacrifices portability, it is possible so make following a link fire up a special application, so that diagnostic programs, for example, could be linked directly into the maintenance guide."[1]

Dynamic apps running in browsers weren't really a thing until the later 90s, but accessing apps via Common Gateway Interface that rendered HTML on each request was a thing right from the start. That's where I started my career. The web has never been about just static documents. If nothing else it it wouldn't have been necessary if that's what Tim was proposing - we had networked access to document systems before the web was a thing.

But also... Tim wrote his memo 34 years ago. 'The modern web' in the sense of Web 2.0 has been around for at least 20 of those years. Even if the original web was about document sharing, there's no reason to believe that's still the case.

This is particularly why I don't want to use Edge, and don't want them to force me to use edge.
It is currently interesting, the level of violence you have to resort to, to 'uninstall' edge. It feels very win95-98-dejavu again, where the browser has been welded so thoroughly into the OS, that you need dynamite to dislodge it.

I'm not a regular windows user, so I may be wrong, but it's my understanding that, by default, windows will keep the computer in "sleep" mode if it's plugged in, and pretty quickly put it in hibernate if it's asleep and unplugged.

The way I found out is this one time I left work with my laptop under windows and asleep.When I arrived home an hour later, it had to go through the full bios setup (which you can't miss since it's ridiculously slow) and then it went and booted Linux (it's the default boot setup). When I rebooted back to windows, I found my previous stuff open. Since this happened again a few times, I figured it was normal behavior.

My default Linux install won't automatically hibernate while asleep as long as the battery is above some threshold, like 10%. And since the computer doesn't support S3, only "modern standby", it will chew through the battery like no tomorrow.
I happen have investigated vast amounts of spam accounts and content posted by people engaged in conspiracy theories, and in my experience the main propagators of this type of disinformation are fake accounts and people hiding behind anonymity. Facebook do not even care that they are blatantly breaking the community guidelines, and will typically always ignore reports of "fake accounts".

If you get rid of the main propagators, other users will have very little of this type of content to engage with in the first place, and it WILL limit the amount of inspiration material other users will be exposed to. We only have this problem because of the easy access to social media. It used to be dubious corners on internet forums and newsgroups no one was interested in, but now everyone is exposed to all this grotesque filth.

Many such accounts main purpose is, very conspicuously, to spread misinformation, and as such there is no real reason why they should be on Facebook in the first place.

I support anonymity when necessary, but as history has clearly shown, limitless anonymity will be abused by bad actors. If there are no limits in place, then bad actors will be able to drown us in a flood of disinformation – this will, as is somewhat currently the case, allow conspiracy theorists to control the flow of information more easily. Repeatedly disproven claims can be repeated in all eternity, and we will never move these people's understanding.

Fact checking will not catch everything, unfortunately. Currently the AI systems is not fast enough to tag things that has already been fact checked, lacks context, or is just manipulative. There are consistent ways to post content and behave that does not directly spread misinformation, but when looked at as a whole, is, actually very clearly intended to manipulate people with misinformation.

So, don't reject things you don't understand so quickly.
Labour are the opposition power, they are likely to come into power next year and are more centre left and wanting to tighten up even more laws.
Counterargument. Prediction markets could also be used to hedge.

E.g. if you invest in technology around LK-99, and then use prediction market to prevent going bankrupt in case you were wrong.

THUS: it doesn't mean that prediction markets give good predictions.

By the way. Do you have some data on that? I.e., statistics of prediction markets being right vs wrong?

> gUnicorn would copy that dataset in each process

Assuming you're on Linux/BSD/MacOS, sharing read-only memory is easy with Gunicorn (as opposed to actual POSIX shared memory, for which there are multiprocessing wrappers, but they're much harder to use).

To share memory in copy-on-write mode, add a call to load your dataset into something global (i.e. a global or class variable or an lru_cache of a free/class/static method) in gunicorn's "when_ready" config function[1].

This will load your dataset once on server start, before any processes are forked. After processes are forked, they'll gain access to that dataset in copy-on-write mode (this behavior is not specific to python/gunicorn; rather, it's a core behavior of fork(2)). If those processes do need to mutate the dataset, they'll only mutate their copy-on-write copies of it, so their mutations won't be visible to other parallel Gunicorn workers. In other words, if one request in a parallel=2 gunicorn mutates the dataset, a subsequent request has only a 50% likelihood of observing that mutation.

If you do need mutable shared memory, you could either check out databases/caches as other commenters have mentioned (Redislite[2] is a good way to embed Redis as a per-application cache into Python without having to run or configure a separate server at all; you can launch it in gunicorn's "when_ready" as well), or try true shared memory[3][4]

Using Object Pooling with UseRef to Prevent GC with UseState
I was pondering on the idea of using object pooling to store time series data that is updated every 10mins.

I have a slight concern that if i stored the data in useState it would cause a lot of GC overtime - my presumtion here is that on each update of the UseState it creates a new object of the data that the GC will have to clean up.

Would using a UseRef to store the obeject pool be a sensiable idea or is this to put it politely a dumb idea
I see. So this is about “the right” to take a vacation? What are you talking about and what am I? we seem to live in different realities. I can’t even imagine somehow I would have a government “right” to take a vacation. Who is paying for it? I don’t get it.
Maybe you should?

I took the time to describe an actual problem, you didn't even so much as link to the supposed page that you imply negates it.

Regardless, no man page "informs away" the tight coupling.

How can you even remove support for something if you aen't coupled enough that it's even possible become no longer compatible?

The very fact that the announcement "we're deprecating init scripts" even makes any sense proves the point all by itself.

Not a chance, the crowd is worthless.
Beaver dams are a serious factor in flood prevention that we mostly removed from our world.

A pond behind a small dam will swell up and hold water when it rains, slowly releasing the water downstream over time. Thousands of such dams add up, leading to a major rainstorm's water taking a longer time to fully dissipate into the rivers downstream. The same total water (almost) will go through the river, but with a lower peak load, and over a longer time.

The rivers are less likely to burst their banks. Homes, towns, cities are saved massive damage.

And as this article shows, the areas behind the dams stay wet much longer, reducing drought and fire risks.

All we have to do is, when possible, let the beavers build their dams.
