What is the point of just quibbling over definitions? If you were using this framing as in support of a larger idea, it would be plausible to entertain. But without that I don't really see much point, because it's just as easy to declare things the opposite of your assertion - eg the term "VPN" doesn't apply to an entire corporate network (as it would per your extension argument), rather just the virtual link part of it. Of course asserting this is similarly pointless without some larger point.
I don't speak or understand Bengali and can't read the written form either, but when looking it up on Google translate, I got the following result:

Node.js stateless session utility using signed and encrypted cookies
Everyone has been saying this massive threat has been coming for years, where is it already? GPT-3.5 API costs basically nothing right now and there are increasingly good enough local alternatives if you get banned. And before ChatGPT, GPT-3 was available to anyone with a convincing enough story and GPT-2 could be finetuned to produce decent output.

I've seen https://twitter.com/xroel_ledner/with_replies and https://twitter.com/xDanial__Miller/with_replies on Twitter which I think are almost certainly ChatGPT but they have a very inauthentic feel to them. I made something similar for Reddit for fun (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36191723) but my bot accounts got most of their upvotes from reposting old stuff, not witty ChatGPT comments. I feel like good propaganda is contextual, preferably incorporates the memes of whoever its targeting, and doesn't just sound like a list of talking points. I haven't seen that yet though it is probably possible at this point. Maybe human propagandists are cheap enough for it to be not worth it?

It is a huge stretch to take a political concept that applies to vulnerable individual humans (victim blaming) and apply that to a dominant, highly profitable corporation. Despite the big lies you have been told by American politicians, corporations are not people in any sense at all.

> Whereas "sushi" I haven't found a language using a distinct word for so far.

Actually, there is: Japanese (and Korean)!

The English word 'sushi' can be translated into Japanese as 'sushi' or 'sashimi' or even 'gimbap'. (Careful English speakers also use the borrowings 'sashimi' and 'gimbap' etc, but casual English speakers will refer to all of these and more as just 'sushi'.)

Similar to how Kindergarten means different things in English and German.
My cynical take is that this will not make it past the Senate, due to Newsom leveraging himself into the discussion behind the scenes. His national political ambitions likely prevent him from taking a public stand on this issue, as he would were it to come to him to be signed.

Precisely. The article (and seemingly everyone else) fails to realize that topics is reducible to TPC. If you have TPC then topics provides no additional tracking capability.

Topics is a mess (see a great analysis from a colleague of mine[1]), but it’s a hard sell to call this current step nefarious.

To be fair, improving performance on Windows is not really a priority for GNU. From the GNU downloads page for emacs (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html#nonfree):

You have to take into account that Star Wars is not an attempt to simulate realistic space battle strategy and tactics, it's pew-pew space battles and laser swords and pulp adventure. It was never realistic. The Death Star is a patently ridiculous, extremely inefficient weapon, since there's no need to entirely explode a planet to destroy it, as is it needing to wait until the moon of Yavin is out of the way when it could easily destroy Yavin from any axis, as is the trench run, which only exists at all because George Lucas ripped off a World War 2 movie, scene for scene, as is the plot twist of the exhaust port. Yes, it's been retconned (like the parsecs thing) but it's still goofy as hell that two torpedos could cause a chain reaction big enough to blow up an entire moon-sized ship even if it hit the reactor dead on. People accept it because it's the OT and they have nostalgia glasses on but it really is kind of bullshit.

The Empire was just that arrogant and self-confident that they never noticed such an obvious flaw until it was too late? Still bullshit.

Sabotage? Better, and it got us Rogue One, which was a great movie. But even then it stretches credibility.

The walkers in Empire Strikes Back are ridiculous, no one would actually build those, with their obvious (and easily exploited) weakness. And in a universe with blasters, no one would ever be using lightsabers. Hell, if you can force choke someone, which even Luke did with that Gammorean guard, why not just force pinch an artery in your enemy's brain or heart? Why bother with all the spinny flips and shit? Just force heart attack from a concealed location, done.

Realistically, you wouldn't even have dogfights in space at all, much less with plane-shaped ships that bank through turns, you would have fully automated, spherical droids attacking from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away or just, as you mentioned, toss a big FU asteroid through hyperspace into the orbit of a planet. And yes, the elephant in the room is that any FTL drive is by definition a weapon of mass destruction.

None of it makes much sense. It never has, because it has always been more important that things look cool than make sense. But the point is, ramming a ship with another ship while going into hyperspace makes no less sense than anything else. The transition to hyperspace isn't instantaneous, you can see the ships zooming in and out of hyperspace and see the starfield warp. So logically there must be a point at which it works. Maybe the margin of error for that is so razor thin that it's not worth trying most of the time. Maybe the particular shape of the ships involved made it an optimal strategy that one time. I don't know, but one can come up with excuses a lot less goofy and contrived that the "maze of black holes" that justifies the parsec line about the Millennium Falcon to justify it.

People are just being particularly nitpicky about this one element while they're willing to forgive the decades of patent ridiculousness that came before.

Consider as well that designing (known obsolete at the time, with no practical threat to Israel) long range weaponry for a relatively benign enemy (Iraq was never Iran or Egypt) is likely far more forgivable than assisting a far more powerful foreign power with a history of at times cool relations with Israel with the current high priority useful intelligence tool which they are known to have a unusual world class edge in right now.

It's not that simple. A women who has looks, but no class, no education, is ill-mannered, etc., is not going to find much interest among men who are well off, educated, well-mannered, etc. She may attract the attention of new money, yes, but this proves the point, namely, that there exists a segmentation by SOCIOeconomic class. The nouveau riche men in question belong approximately to the same social class. He isn't offended by this lass's cursing, press-on nails, vinyl pants, and high esteem of trash TV. It's what he grew up around.

And look at the wives of many of the richest men. The beauty of wives is not strongly correlated with husband earning, certainly not beyond middle/upper middle class and upward where each additional dollar earned means less. Other factors are at work. This should be obvious.

And it's not as if mating takes place at some grand event where every person is a potential candidate for everyone else of the opposite sex. We're distributed, we are embedded in social and kinship networks in time and place. We are exposed to an exceedingly small number of people in life, certainly before the typical age at which we tend to marry. No idea where all these boneheaded ideas about mating comes from that defy basic reason and experience.

I don't think your attempt at a re-statement is accurate to the source. Also, "regardless of versioning strategy" is simply not an option in Rust, since the entire ecosystem is opinionated about how versions should work and overall everything works very well.

This post is about taking something that is already very rare (though painful when it does happen!) and making it even more rare. It shows a concrete way to do so, and also shows that so far we've been "getting lucky" by experiencing breakage less often than we might have been, given the same code changes.

In other words: `cargo update` today has a tiny chance of breaking your Rust project. But if everyone used `cargo-semver-checks` every time, as demonstrated by what the blog post's analysis caught, we'd reduce the number of accidentally-breaking releases by *3% of all releases*. That is an astoundingly high reduction, so coupled with good testing practices and other static checks (type system, borrow checker, etc.) it means that `cargo update` will be even more astonishingly unlikely to break your project.
I was working in a non-numerics/non-scientific code base and the quality of the code was good to very good. And I could see the value Julia was bringing to the table on some aspects of the higher levels of their stack. But it utterly fails at being any kind of "systems language", and it was being coraled into that role in spots. Tossing some optional somewhat-static (but not really) type declarations and a JIT into the language doesn't make it a performant language for areas where something like C++, Rust, etc. would be more suited.

And yes, like any late-bound language, it's going to be prone to crashing at runtime in unexpected ways. Julia has some okayish tools for doing some static analysis, but it's never going to be at the level of what you can get out of an actual modern static type system. I was fortunate to work with some very smart people who had written some very high quality code in Julia, and some aspects of the language I found very nice and expressive (and even sometimes miss), but I was happy to go back to writing Rust after I switched jobs.

And yeah, not being a VSCode user (JetBrains addict), I found tooling lacking as well. The emacs mode was okayish. Also found I kept having to use the Repl in ways I found non-intuitive.

I would reach for Julia as an alternative to Python, maybe, for certain types of things. It's certainly prettier to look at.
Our research group does work in this space[1], so I’ll claim some familiarity.

This article has multiple problems:

1. Privacy Sandbox is a project, consisting of many proposals. To pitch it as some cohesive product is misleading.

2. Related: FLoC and Topics are completely separate things, aside from existing under the same project.

3. Topics is reducible to (implementable using) third-party cookies. While the proposal has issues and doesn’t resist tracking as well as Google claims (see below article), Ars’ implication that this is somehow making Chrome less privacy-preserving is patently false.

Apple won’t even let you see the logging output of their security software scans without extracting information from undocumented SQL databases.
Not everyone has a google account, nor any of those services.
Seeing this all go down, it feels like this is exactly Google’s master plan.

1. Roll out stuff they brand as “privacy respecting” that actually collects data for their own use.

2. Brand anything that would give competitors access to that data (third party cookies, user agent strings, etc) as a threat to user privacy.

3. Lock all of that stuff down so that nobody can access it (“we’re protecting you!”)

4. I don’t think we need the ???, it’s just straight to profit, via monopoly over the data.

The brilliant/terrible thing about this is that third party cookie tracking is not great so it’s hard to set up a defensible argument where leaving things as they are is the better alternative. Apple and others have been waging a war on third party tracking for years now, and pushing public opinion in that direction, and it seems to me that Google is playing 4D chess here and using it against them (and frankly, the entire internet).

The funny thing is, the boot processes on Windows and Linux are remarkably similar, and have always been.

On Windows, firmware loads bootloader, bootloader loads ntoskrnl (NT kernel), ntoskrnl starts first user process smss.exe, smss starts security subsystem lsass.exe, lsass starts winlogon.exe, winlogon logs user on and starts the shell, explorer.exe

On Linux, bootloader loads vmlinuz (kernel), vmlinuz starts first user process (init), init starts display manager (eg gdm), gdm
logs user on and starts another copy of the X server and launches user's favorite window manager.

These have essentially stayed the same since the first NT 3.1 release and Red hat 0.9. I'm not familiar with Mac OS X or other Unices but I imagine they aren't that different. Modern desktop OS design has essentially converged to a point where there is no fundamental difference between any modern desktop OSes, because after all they are all trying to solve more or less the exact same set of problems. When a user inserts a flash drive he expects it to be mounted automatically (you can't honestly expect most end users to type in a sudo command to access his flash drive, can you), and this in fact requires careful coordinations from a ton of system components to implement securely, because mounting a filesystem is a privileged operation (you certainly don't want the end user to be able to unmount the root filesystem do you, but he should be able to unmount his flash drive). This is why things like polkit are necessary. People in Linux land love to complain about dbus --- oh it's turning Linux into the big evil M$ Windowz --- but how do you propose to solve the problem of two talking processes having to send objects between each other? With plan9's 9p? How about authentication? How do I make sure the process I'm talking to is really the process I think it is? If you try to solve all these problems, you end up with something that's essentially no different from dbus.

Semver is a pragmatism, human-and-tooling thing.

It works the vast majority of the time. Many, many studies across many languages repeatedly show it. There are flaws, but there are extremely clear benefits - most updates just work, automatically. It works so well most people don't even realize how much they're being protected from.

So what are you gaining by abandoning it? You're losing a lot, if you're not gaining a lot in return then there's no reason to choose it.

>Ahh yes. "I'm right and if you disagree you're wrong". The ultimate debate tactic.

I agree in principle, but it is also simply true in some cases. It's like arguing against vaccines or range checks on arrays - there's a massive load of trolling or willful ignorance in semver debates. There can definitely be better systems, but none are used widely enough to be noteworthy to most, and most presented alternatives are laughably bad to anyone who has done anything but throw nonsense at the internet's wall and see what sticks. Some things are just not that complex, and armchair bullshitters can be spotted miles away.
I have not yet fallen out of love with the language, but I can absolutely sympathize with the desire for better ways to define and enforce interfaces. In my opinion it is the #2 issue for me right behind having a non-kludgy import/module system
> Monikers such as "mummo" are borrowed from Swedish, which means that not too long ago, the Finnish language seems to have been without any "mama"-related words.

I'm not sure we can conclude that? Borrowings can displace existing words, so the current state of the vocabulary doesn't necessarily tell you what was there before.

As a slightly related example in German: 'Base' and 'Vetter' for your girl and boy cousins have been replaced in the last few decades with the French borrowings 'Cousine' (also spelled 'Kusine') and 'Cousin' (also spelled 'Kuseng'). Looking just at the current vocabulary, you might conclude that German did not have specific words for these people until the French come along.

Germans also replaced 'Muhme' and 'Oheim' with 'Tante' and 'Onkel'.

Fun aside: the English word 'boss' has etymological ties with the German 'Base'. (English got 'boss' from Dutch.)
