> As someone whose lived in multiple European countries since I was born, I also don't understand this comment. I don't know anyone who uses these smartcard readers at home. I don't think it's common at all.

Which EU countries? Bank card readers are super common in .nl (ING for sure) and .be (just about every single bank there) for example.

Nowadays banks often allow to use either that or, say, an app on your phone or a dedicated physical token. For example you can confirm transactions you make on your computer by unlocking an app and confirming with your fingerprint from your smartphone. But that's semi- recent. Before that kind of 2FA became a thing, it was all done with card readers.

Some countries still live in the past like, I shit you not, Societe Generale in France still has a "2FA" where it shows digits randomly on the screen and you have to click you PIN (some people still have an account like that): that is however quite pathetic and not the norm.

If I want to buy anything online using any one of my credit card, I must put it in a physical reader and reply correctly to a challenge/response.

These readers are different from the electronic ID card readers, which are also used in many EU countries (for example to fill my taxes online).

I definitely know what you mean re: snideness about `unsafe`, and I wish that were quite different. I think it's (a) good to have a default of "avoid unsafe, you probably need it less than you think" and (b) good to remember that the tool is there for a reason!

Also: agreed re: syntax.

> But I can’t wait for some other, newer languages to iterate on these features & the language syntax some more. It’s not the top of the mountain.

YEP. That's exactly what I was getting at in my callout at the top of the piece. First word, not the last.
There are a lot of companies that support open source (Github has given away far more than you have, other companies sponsor employees to work on software directly, etc etc), you aren't special just because you claim that you're an open source company. It's not the BSL that gives you the ability to donate money, it's the fact that you sell a profitable product. You could sell a proftable product with a closed source license, or you could call your license shared source, and still donate money.

That being said, I think this is the first time I've seen someone at Sentry openly admit that you are trying to change the overall definition of open source and I do thank you for at least admitting it. If your end goal is to exclude commercial reuse from the open source definition then my theory about embrace/extend/extinguish seems to be as accurate as I thought.
>The truth is the visual cortex is vast, and not sufficient to explain the human classification and perception of objects visually.

There have been experiments which have exactly located individual neurons and sets of neurons responsible for the first layers of image recognition. i.e. a neuron that fires when a specific spot on a retina is stimulated (a single pixel) and neurons that fire which detect lines. This is not theoretical but actual probing of living brains. I'll find the paper(s) later.
A faulty sensor that always reads "6.8" is going to have zero variance. That would seem to make it the most trustworthy estimation.

Indeed. Raw pointers are mostly when either crossing FFI barriers (say, calling or being called by C) or when what you want to do can’t be expressed within Rust’s ownership rules without taking on overhead (Rc, cloning, indirections, etc) that’s unacceptable to your specific use case.
> literally trying to change the definition of open source

1. The only way for businesses to release their core products under OSI-approved licenses is through a time delay such as the BSL.

2. It's good for businesses to release their core products under OSI-approved licenses.

3. Therefore, some concept of time-delayed release must be included in the definition of open source.

I'll concede that this is an evolution or refinement of the definition of open source, but not a change to the essence.

I'm sorry for the delay, but this actually isn't quite right. Short telomere syndromes are not associated with cancer. In fact, it is long telomeres that have a strong association with cancer (largely because aberrantly activating telomerase can drive cancer development.)

There’s one “we” in that comment and it refers to a specific group of people: the authors of that paper.
Even of the error originates in unsafe code, the UB can manifest elsewhere. The optimizer makes assumptions that you can easily invalidate in an unsafe block leading to UB. In many ways it is mich easier to introduce UB in an umsafe block than it is in C++. But at the very least you know the UB originated in one of your unsafe blocks. Its just figuring out which one. I very rarely use unsafe outside bindings though, so that helps too.
Attitudes like that are why so many "real applications" have things like progress bars assembled from divs and JS instead of using a progress element or show/hide toggles assembled from divs and JS instead of using details/summary elements. Turns out there are so many HTML elements for a reason.
Content is a complement to social media.
Meta has several of the biggest UGC platforms, and in this case the complement is content itself. Reels with autogenerated (and royalty free) background music is the obvious example but I'm sure there are more. Maybe creative for ads as well?
The other thing is that Josef K seems complicit in this process. At no point is he actively coerced into compliance. The system seems to not even care if he participates. I was constantly mentally screaming at the character, "Why the fuck are you doing this? You have a fucking choice."

So yeah, I think there's a degree of absurdity and irony in the works as well. Less, "look at this hellish version of reality" and more, "look at this dumbfuck going along with this".
Nope. Try again. It "basically" says what it says—which is the same thing that the part you quoted from Fielding says—and nowhere does it say that the media type has to be HTML, which is what you (now) seem to be implying (but are unable or unwilling to articulate for some reason).

It's been done many times. Mozilla had XUL. Internet Explorer had XBAPs (XAML Browser Apps) [1]. Android has an XML UI language. Java has FXML, which IMHO is the cleanest and nicest of the lot.

It never works. Same reason as to why adding non-JS languages never works: because making a GUI toolkit or implementing a language is a huge amount of work, other browser makers refuse to get on board because it'd mean they're playing catchup. Then web devs refuse to use it, because not every browser supports it. The only acceptable way forward is to gradually glue lots of small things onto HTML, and see which ones get implemented by the others. Because this is such an incremental and random process you end up with a pretty inconsistent platform that lacks a lot of stuff you'd intuitively expect.

Earth Overshoot Day would carry more weight with information I don't believe any of us can know - how much reserve remains.

If Earth Overshoot Day were Beer Overshoot Day - 4 astronauts stuck in a rocket to Mars, each drinking one beer extra per day - and knowing that they will forego beer for the final 6 months of the trip, there would be rioting.

Actually, maybe that's the best reason not to know.
Even if you could easily buy them, would most women trade-off the pants looking nice and being form fitting in exchange for pockets?

Let's be honest, having a huge rectangle sticking out of your tight is not the most flattering look. There's a trade-off. Hell, if all we cared about were pockets, we would all be wearing cargo pants.
Those aren't NEETs but rather unemployed men unable to continue working often they're construction workers who's bodies give out. Since they are unable to be retrained in the Japanese system they often end up destitute and homeless. Along side recently divorced women unable to re-enter into the workforce it's two issues that are occurring simultaneously. There are some forms of resources for the women but the men are often left abandoned.

No. Browsers burn more power (20-50% more, assuming that hardware decoding is working. It's even worse if it isn't) and have fewer features. The default video playing interface in browsers lacks the ability to even display subtitles and change audio tracks. These should be table stakes for any video player.
The old habit of reaching to “increase contrast”[0] as a means of making an image more attractive exists in large part because 1) the dynamic range of modern display media is so tiny compared to the dynamic range of camera sensors and our eyes[1], and 2) the images most people typically work with are often recorded in that same tiny dynamic range.

If you work with raw photography, you will find that, as with audio, the dynamic range is substantially wider than the comfortable range of the available media: your job is, in fact, to compress that range into the tiny display space while strategically attenuating and accentuating various components—just like with raw audio, much more goes into it than merely compression, but fundamentally the approaches are much alike.

[0] Which actually does much more than that—the process is far from simply making the high values higher and low values lower.

[1] Though “dynamic range” is much less of a useful concept when applied to eyes—as with sound, we perceive light in temporal context.

I would predict rest of the world will move to an American model, based on lowering fertility rates and demand from people who cannot afford to pay for healthcare exceeding supply of healthcare.

Managed care organizations (MCOs, aka health insurance companies) are the mechanism by which you can provide different groups of people with different levels of healthcare, while still having plausible deniability that you provided healthcare for political purposes.

Example: Medicare and Medicaid are both subsidized healthcare programs in the US. But the people who receive Medicare are more valuable to leaders, so Medicare pays more, and hence Medicare recipients get better healthcare. Medicaid recipients are less valuable to leaders, and so it pays less, so Medicaid recipients have to travel farther and wait longer for healthcare.

MCOs can even be used to implement different levels of healthcare for different groups of employees based on how well the coverage for that group of employees pays providers. You can delineate all the way from President and staff, to legislators, to military, to civilian employees, and private businesses can delineate between employees of low profit margin, low pay businesses, and high profit margin, high pay businesses.

On the provider side, poorer people will get seen by NP/PA, while richer people can be seen by MDs. Or richer people can skip the line or get access to MDs via concierge medicine or direct primary care.
It makes sense to me that zip codes don't matter (or might be a weak signal), since some countries might not have postal codes, or might have a different postal code format. But I agree with you that it doesn't make sense to not check the CVV and expiration date; both are printed directly in the card, and should match exactly (unlike the card owner name, which is also printed in the card, but the user might type it differently, for instance typing in full their middle name when it's abbreviated in the card).

Oo that's a good domain name! I think this space is pretty challenging. We actually wanted to work on this before the regulation came out and ran into similar issues - however thanks to the transparency in coverage rule, we have access to their pricing info without having to speak to a single doctor! Although we still need to make relationships with doctors in order to get the business part to work.

We did hear from some dentists that their insurance company forbids them from sharing their rates, which makes it tough to add dentists to our platform.

I read that book in the late 90s, and the morning pages was the one thing I took to heart from it.

> The top 80 percent of women compete for the top 20 percent of men on dating apps

I've seen this type of statement repeated many times, and respectfully I think it's a very broad and oversimplified reduction of such a complex topic.

The source you provided is extremely limited (afaict it's a sample size of 27 in a single app, a very circular definition of attractiveness, obviously not peer reviewed, etc.), but I think even a more reputable source would still have very limited results due to the huge scope of online dating and the highly subjective impressions involved.

I do agree that online dating appears to be superficial and not a great tool for finding meaningful relationships, but I've found that a lot of the discourse surrounding it (regular dating too) seems more based on collective insecurities than solid research.

Maybe there are differences in dating habits that favor some group over another, but a lot of the things I've seen tend to go to towards the idea of female hypergamy (a pillar of 'redpilled' incel ideology) without a lot to back it up.

I'm not saying that this particular study is necessarily wrong, but I'm wary of the biases, unconscious beliefs and assumptions that are usually carried when 'facts' like these are taken at face value.
The touted benefits of QSpsice include better numerical fundamentals, so who knows what happens when you take a tuned model and plug it into a different engine?

> This work, frankly, upsets some of our customers or potential customers (like Archive.is).

That's a bit unfair, don't you think?

From what I remember of the saga, the original reason for Archive.is's block is that they run their own CDN, and by not knowing the location of the user, they can't determine the closest server to respond with.

edit: found source https://twitter.com/archiveis/status/1018691421182791680

So the alternative viewpoint is, that Cloudflare is being anti-competitive by technically preventing other CDN providers from working.

Disclosure: I'm a happy Cloudflare user, but all in all I think Archive.is service is far more fundamental for the internet (especially as it's 100% free!). So I would really appreciate if you could figure out a way of working together. Until then, 8.8.8.8 it is!
I guess I was thinking about indexing the visited numbers from a graph-traversal-algorithm-interview perspective instead of a CS theory one.

We can actually do it in O(1) space complexity in exchange for higher time complexity.

For i in range 1..n, compute n_i, the ith number in the hailstone iteration, and then continue the hailstone iteration n_(i+1)..n_max to see if n_i is equal to any of them. This takes us to quadratic time complexity, O(n * n_max), or constant complexity depending on how you look at it, but it only requires storing a single n_i at a time for cycle detection.

But then again, if you actually loop for n_max iterations without halting by reaching 1 or crashing, then you had to reuse a number somewhere, so the explicit cycle detection isn’t really important.
