I never had the sense of Kraftwerk as parody, or even as ironic. In fact the opposite. Did I miss something?

The prospect of low cost swarms of AI enabled drones terrifies me. If you've watched any drone combat footage from Ukraine you know it's just around the corner, and this is another step in that direction.

Anger can be justified, and its good to change things that are harmful.

> which Musk moderated quite a bit,

He had no choice because of all of them debt he offloaded to Twitter to fund the acquisition. Pretty much to pick between employees and making debt payments.

Not sure why would a corporation prefer to have to pay half a billion in interest per year to having an additional 1000 or more employees?

> somehow blame it on Musk

In large part because of the debt which pretty much doomed Twitter...
These are systems problems. You need not only effective leadership, but also a culture where reports are investigated by a disinterested third party, strong guardrails that good faith reporters aren't retaliated against, and harsh penalties when evidence finds someone guilty. No slaps on the wrist, no dismissals of reports, no leadership chains where someone can squash an investigation either as a favor or out of reputational risk. Trust and Safety reporting should be mandatory as a condition of ongoing funding of polar ops.

Accused? Confined to quarters until investigation completes. Accusations found to be true? Brig until the next transport flight is in and than permanently removed from service at the station, and banned from employment with any org that could put you in a role where you might end up at the continent again.
Building up kwargs should be something done as a last resort, or in situations where you need to be a pass-through eg decorators, and the current functionality covers that more or less perfectly. I am suspicious that this suggestion is just to enable poor quality code that the person suggesting it would just grow out of over time.

You can just write a class to track your kwargs and args if you want to do what is in this suggestion. Then when you want to use it you would have to do `whatever_func(*args.args, **args.kwargs)`, which isn't exactly a huge amount of trouble.
Seems like another example of the importance of battery improvements. With enough thrust-to-weight I've heard you can get a Buick to fly. Thus, some of the marginal aerodynamic optimizations that necessitate more complicated builds maybe can be dispensed with.
I once did a project (not freelance I hasten to add) for a wealthy and shady company based in a very expensive office in a very expensive old money postcode. They are involved in immoral, and probably illegal, activities, some of which received attention from national press. They were the sort of organisation that has disaster comms skills in house. They also had a document that proudly proclaimed how they met every single one of the UN's SDGs. Never understood how they managed to keep a straight face on that topic.

I really don't like this article. It's not pity. Say there's some comic or some author legitimately struggling. A lot of people will see someone in that situation and want to help them.

And it's not pity. It's because they're ducking tired of the money they spend ending up in some billionaires pocket or returned to the shareholders. These posts are an opportunity to see your money go to actually help someone.

Like maybe it's the difference between them having to work some shitty job or getting to have their hobby pay their bills. That's a good feeling and that's the value people are chasing. Even if they tell crappy jokes or write boring books... who cares?

It's not like some marginal comic eeking out a living telling bad jokes is such a tragedy. Whatever economic waste there is in letting some marginal comic eek out a living on bad jokes pales in comparison to billionaires.
alright, these are hilarious. i miss this playful attitude in modern-day software engineering, we need more of it.

Thanks for sharing the feedback for folks here. Yes, we are looking for people who will thrive in an early startup. We're currently 5 people full time.
We can also increase stability by increasing the amount of paired individuals substantially. You know, make these places consist of actual communities with families, schools, and everything.

If you are interested in buying an abandoned home in the Japan countryside highly recommend the YouTube channel Tokyo Llama.

He talks about the renovation aspects, taxes, paperwork process, and the pros and cons of doing this with a family. Lots of videos the watch.

I'm going to say some things here that some people find offensive. But note, no offense is intended and it's just my opinion on the way of the world. If you think differently, I respect that. Anyway...

I think there's a certain reality about male behavior that just can't be ignored. If a woman locks her self up in a place with a bunch of single men this type of stuff is bound to be more likely to happen.

The only reason why this doesn't happen in the real world is because of a 50/50 gender ratio. Men are satisfied with a partner and they enforce gender equality rights because they care about their partner and they care about their daughters. Remove those incentives and they will care less, it's biological reality.

You remove women from a mans life and all that's left is higher level notions of morality versus base level sexual instincts. His base instincts won't be satisfied and he's just relying on what he's "taught" to dictate and control his urges. Among a high enough population those base instincts are going to override morality among a good percentage of single men.

There's really no ideal solution to this. It's largely what women will experience in the military as well if they're embedded in a situation where the men have no outlet. They will unfortunately witness the darker side of men. That's not to say women don't have a dark side too, but that's a different topic.

I mean what are you going to do? Send more men to the antarctic to protect those women? Who's willing to go? I bet a bunch of young single men are down for this....

Anyway I said there weren't ideal solutions to this problem but there are solutions... None offer a complete solution, none are ideal.. but they do mitigate the problem somewhat.

1. Offer free porn to the men. This largely helps men control and release their urges.
2. She needs to partner up with a man. Men will be less likely to mess with her if they know she's partnered up with another dude. Of course a man will only provide protection service if he's provided certain value as well.
3. Send Prostitutes. This causes other problems, but it does alleviate the issue of this topic.
4. Enforce even gender ratios. This would cut down the amount of people going to antartica though because many women just don't want to go.

The issue is that carbon offsets are poorly defined/regulated and are therefore almost never "honest". The definition of "honest" here, is that a purchased offset should represent a unit of carbon that has already been removed from the atmosphere.

Instead, we have "offsets" that claim to remove carbon at some arbitrary point in the future, or worse, are an "expected reduction of carbon output of some nebulous projects in the future", which is how a lot of offsets actually operate. Even if valid, and one's purchased unit of offset carbon is actually mitigated at some point in the future, this doesn't negate the impact of the carbon that was emitted today until that point in the future that it's mitigated.

Today's cost of atmospheric carbon capture is several hundred dollars / ton. If you find yourself "offsetting" for a few dollars / ton, you're just fooling yourself.
I am sorry, I have ZERO sympathy for the OP.

First of all, new versions means its covered by improved security & privacy functions. Everybody should always upgrade to highest possible version. Google has nagged devs about this for YEARS.

Also, if you never update your app and consider it "done", you are probably ignoring security erratas in your libraries

Finally, who maintains an Android app, makes a major upgrade but doesn't have an Android phone to test it before pushing the update??

Research shows that there's genetic disposition to being a morning person or night owls. Sure, humans can adapt to any routine, or at least to many routines that are going against their nature, but at least with regards to some areas there's a cost associated with going against one's nature.

Easy construction; you simply need to remove the various parts from the cardboard plate with a knife and then build the drone using glue, tape and some rubber bands.

We actually do. Thanks to the "indeterminate" state on HTML checkboxes (that one where it's sort of filled in instead of checked), you can use unchecked for "exclude" or "must not have", indeterminate for "don't care" or "both" and checked for "include" or "must have".

Unfortunately, in typical browsers there is no way for the user to set them back to indeterminate unless the developer implements that using javascript.
Nazis are all over Eastern Europe, it's something that happened to a certain segment of young men after the end of communism, was born largely from imported racist material from the US and Western Europe, and was fed by inspiration from UK and Italian football hooliganism (Casuals, Ultras, etc.) and "National Socialist Black Metal" which is actually a genre of music. People involved in these scenes formed gangs that developed into militias, some of the people in these militias were the children of oligarchs and politicians, and they used those gangs to enforce local collection rackets and to commit political violence. This isn't a story about just Ukraine, it's more a story about Russia, Ukraine, and Poland.

Having oligarchs connected to Nazi militias was an ideal way for the US to get money and arms into Ukraine to fuel the 2014 coup. It was simply a marriage of convenience, but one that propelled Nazis into a lot of power on the ground and in some of the institutions of Ukraine. Ukrainian Nazis think of Russians as a racially mongrelized people, and were happy to help wage war on Russian speakers in Ukraine as a war of racial cleansing. Also, their newly heroic status in some of the conservative mainstream quarters of Ukraine (combined with the forcing of Russian speakers to the East), allowed them to racialize Ukrainian identity. As we poured money and arms into the country, the Nazi militias became more and more official, and more and more the direct recipient of those arms.

The rise of the Nazis has largely been inflicted on Ukraine by US manipulation. They're just another instance of "freedom fighters" and "moderate rebels" that we fund to get what we want. When Ukraine voted for an actor who played the president on TV, they were taking the same desperate stand against the powers-that-be (in this case Russia and the US) as the US was when they elected Trump (against the Democrats and Republicans.) They were voting for peace, and an end to corruption. It didn't go well.
Well Google, YouTube and FB engineers should be embarrassed because their "algorithms" suck.

The price for saying something ignorant was usually pretty high in the form of verbal abuse, and you had to be willing to cater to that elitist attitude in many cases. Infosec had, and continues to have a gate keeping problem. The strange thing to me is that the scene pretty much died, but these zombies live on, half alive but without a strong community talking about them.

Btw not talking about spender or jduck here, just the scene overall.

No, I want to point out that the idiots who think hitting others accomplishes something don't know what the hell a "Fascist" is.

Look up the history of Weimar Germany. That's what "hitting Fascists" accomplishes. Anyone who wants that must be a Fascist, like you.
Sounds like too much process. At the same time I've seen teams where the problem was too little process and they would have had great improvements from things like sitting people down and agreeing on what the short-term priorities are, agreeing on deadlines and scope, having clear requirements and a person in the business to continuously check that the requirements are being met.

So I would be careful about throwing out all process, you can't just tell people to do the work and leave them alone - that doesn't scale as teams and companies grow. There's an art in hitting the right amount of process.

Protest is a political tool. If blocking traffic raises awareness (as it has done here) then I think that counts as working on it. We're not going to get cars off the road by writing letters to our senator or donating a few hundred dollars to a political campaign (we've been trying for decades). Maybe aggravating the general public into realizing the fragility and selfishness of the tech industry's "solution" will get people to reevaluate funding for public transportation. I doubt it, because I've become deeply cynical about human nature, but I also see that the roots of progress often comes from surprising places. Like refusing to ride at the back of the bus. Or dumping tea into a harbor. Or putting a traffic cone on a robot. Keep it simple, don't hurt anyone, make your point. We can argue about the efficacy of their tactics but at the end of the day they're trying something.

For stuff like direct air capture, not for afforestation.
Developers control what goes in front of the user and where, we'll still be able to tell plenty about a user's decision making process given that and how their head and hands navigate the space. There are plenty of companies that specialize in this as their entire product offering, assessing fitness for duty, alertness, attention mapping, etc. Plenty of published research on the matter as well.

The supposed security of blackboxing the eye data itself is illusory and functionally just for marketing.

Cable ties.

Laptop and monitor stands for even more desk real estate.

Alternatively, sadness and grief lead to very little action at all. It's something I see in myself and others close to me who are concerned about climate change. When we respond with righteous anger, we have an energy to try and do something (attend a city council meeting, change ingrained habits, go out to pick up a bunch trash, etc). When I feel grief instead, there's no energy or motivation. Just a feeling of hopelessness - that I have no agency or that nothing I can do makes a difference. Anger is better in this case, imo.

Even the mafia’s threats are less direct than what the US said here. “I think if the vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister succeeds, all will be forgiven in Washington.” And remember that was communicated to the military, which has long interferes with the democratic process in that country, with America’s support.

The fact that you’re willing to condone it just because hating Putin is “the current thing” is wild to me.
The feature you are looking for is the "undo" option. Gmail has it, many other apps have it, so you have time to cancel your divorce email.

I honestly don't think such analysis is really useful. It seems to me like the AfD voter base is a diverse "anti-mainstream" coalition. The AfD is strong in east Germany since it's traditionally more right-wing and more anti-mainstream.

The AfD is also strong in Baden-Würtemberg which is traditionally a place with a high population of... well... luddites(?).

These groups might not have the same goals or the same issues they are facing, but what unites them is the feeling that the AfD represents a true opposition to the mainstream political scene.
Sorry to clarify I’m talking generically me installing something from cargo, pip or npm, rather than any specific package.

I personally don’t hold much value in ‘reproducible builds’ as being some silver bullet - back doors can almost as easily be hidden in source code, particularly if nobody gives it a once-over read, same goes for compiled code only it normally requires a sandbox and some R.E.
That link says "Google designs zones to minimize the risk of correlated failures caused by physical infrastructure outages like power, cooling, or networking. Thus, if a zone becomes unavailable, you can transfer traffic to another zone in the same region to keep your services running."

Which is clearly false if a single flood can take out an entire region.
Sure. I meant that there's no general requirement for bills to get a roll call vote, where each person has to record their vote.

And even when Congress has internal rules (not US law) requiring a roll call vote, they can suspend those rules to permit a voice vote.
Thanks, these are all very interesting. I’ll probably consider giving these a try for some use cases.

I would love to, if things actually worked on it! Since everything is HTTPS now and you need TLS1.3 for many things, running very retro things for daily usage is next to impossible.
I agree with your first statement. Classical music captivated me at an early age (5 or so), and I really didn't know Jack about music. As a matter of fact, my first crush was Bach's organ music; I got an album for my 6th birthday.

But there is complexity to it, like there is to jazz and prog. These are also not really popular. And the more complex the classical music (think on a scale from Offenbach to Birtwistle), the less popular it is.

Music is not really a language, despite all the theoretical attempts. It's poetry without language, if you want a metaphor. It conveys timbre, structure, emotion, and time. If it's not your thing, it's difficult to get into.

I do agree that many people don't know if it's their thing or not, for lack of experience. And a music teacher that explains the programme behind Danse Macabre doesn't really count. If anything, it kills the joy.

Another thing that heightens the feeling for classical music is playing it, at least for me. Some form of musical education would really benefit the sector. And that's not just a "sounds good" idea. Where I live, the system of music schools and its support systems has slowly been razed to the ground. The effect is that where once student orchestras were healthy organizations, they're now dwindling, as is the influx to the conservatories. The more famous ones still attract many students, but more and more foreign. It won't be long before they run out of teachers and lose their stature, too. Such are the joys of supply side economics and small government ideology.
