> The U.K. Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. “the safest place” in the world to be online.

You think the UK is safe, go to China or Russia! They have _really_ 'safe' internet. Even better, just cut the internet off, it couldn't be any safer!

The politicians passing this stuff are literally the least qualified people to discuss anything tech related. They literally do not understand (or possibly don't care) that a backdoor for them is a backdoor for any motivated attacker.

> A clause of the bill allows Ofcom, the British telecom regulator, to serve a notice requiring tech companies to scan their users–all of them–for child abuse content.

This is Apple's CSAM [1] all over again. I'm sure it won't be used at all for out-of-scope reasons... Firstly expanded to terrorism, and then generic crime, then extreme political views, then hate speech, etc.

Can somebody in 'Big Tech' please remind them that this includes _their_ messages too? I want you to email them on a regular basis something like: "We have scanned all of your files and private communications as per the requirement of the OSB, and found nothing currently deemed unacceptable by the current government. This is a reminder that any content sent now or any time in the past will be retroactively scanned and reported based on continuously evolving guidelines."

> This would affect even messages and files that are end-to-end encrypted to protect user privacy. As enacted, the OSB allows the government to force companies to build technology that can scan regardless of encryption–in other words, build a backdoor.

It looks like I will be moving to E2E via private servers.

A tangential observation: the imgur site warns me that the image contains adult content when it clearly doesn't. I wonder if it is the girl at the bottom right of the image that's throwing the algorithm off.

Tineye.com found several older copies of this image posted to imgur (such as https://i.imgur.com/rIvpLcr.jpg and https://i.imgur.com/0Q7YnPvh.jpg) and yet, I'm not shown the adult content warning for those. Go figure.
I imagine that very few people who use Windows have USBs on fat32. In fact, Windows format by defaults on NTFS with the option format on exFAT. There is no option fo format on FAT32, you need to use a specific tool. More so, most people just burn the iso to the usb, deleting everyhing on it.
There is very easy way to get rid of most security vulerabilities and billion laughs. Don't parse DTD (you don't need it in year 2020+).

In YAML it's kinda more baked in. You have anchors and alias, which are part of the spec itself.
I lived in N. California in 1996, and I had an impressive 486DX66 tower machine. That summer, I would go to work during the day, and my girlfriend would use the computer as much as she liked. I'd use it at night and on weekends.

She began to complain that it was locking up. It happened to her over and over, but not to me, so I wasn't sure why.

One day I had occasion to remove the case and look inside. The CPU fan had become dislodged, and would spin uselessly without cooling down the fast 486.

I owed an apology to my girlfriend. Many years later, I was able to apply this elementary knowledge to help out my father, whose notebook always locked up. He put it on a cooling pad, which was enough to allow the vents to work, even without running those external fans.
Sew It Yourself [video]
It probably won’t be useful and I don’t really think it’ll matter if it is; but it probably will be fun for a bit. I just checked and it still hasn’t propagated to me, but knowing the types of videos I’m watching I can imagine somewhat how it will filter through the home page and present them under the umbrella of “Red”, “Green” and “Blue”. I want to see that I’m right, but since the most common type of video I play on YouTube since I leave it on in the background is “music” and I can somewhat see where the genres will line up. I’m guessing a lot of phonk music videos will rise to the top of “red” and maybe ones I’ve never seen before.

But… if it’s useful to anybody, it will probably be by drawing attention to that top bar you have to scroll through according to the article which applies different filters to your home page according to video type, genre or media type.

I’m looking at mine and I’m seeing “music”, “mixes” which are at the front and the most regularly used by me. There’s different games, or other topics, there’s “Live” and “soundtracks”, “Podcasts” which I don’t use and so is usually at the end, and way at the end right now is “Recently Uploaded” and “New to you”. I know about all of this, but how many people have no idea any of that is there? Well, some of them might pick up on it if they hear about the color filter thing and play with that. Mostly I think it will just be fun and maybe a bit of a meme.
Article is in Swedish.
But that can't happen at the moment. The core problem is that civil servants and politicians are easily bullied by claims they aren't experts and thus can't judge if "expert" work is any good or not. So they just dish out money to anyone who works at a university, expecting them to self-police, but they don't.

There are only two ways to fix that, as far as I can see:

1. Have highly technical, scientifically trained and skeptical politicians who police academia and ensure research money is well spent.

2. Stop governments funding research in the first place.

(1) just doesn't seem feasible. There are so many problems there. (2) is feasible. So I suspect you're going to start seeing calls from the right to defund universities over the next ten years or so. The underlying motivation may be that universities are strongholds of the left, but the stated justification will be the high levels of research fraud.
DuckDB also compresses the data. I've ingested ≈ 1 TB of apache-like access logs into a duckdb file that was small enough to load completely into ram on my local machine (like 10-15 GB). It was blazingly fast to query over.

(The large spark cluster was still ingesting the data when I was done with my analysis, only working on my local laptop)
I a fellow Brit, I note that you still bring up the war! But yeah, this is true.

Honestly, I don't think we get out of this hole until demographic churn (ugly phrase yeah) rebalances the electorate.

If we look at the 1992 election there's a 13% gap in conservative votes between the youngest and oldest brackets [1]. By 2019 that's a 36-46% gap [2].

From Fig. 2, it looks like the "hazard ratio" is minimized at a total cholesterol level of around 230 mg/dL, with both higher and lower total cholesterol levels associated with higher mortality. However, medical advice (see e.g. Cleveland Clinic page below) routinely asserts 200 mg/dL as the maximum for the normal range, with 230 mg/dL being "borderline high" and approaching the "high" band.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/11920-cholest...

In the discussion section of the paper, the authors write:

"The current cholesterol guidelines are heavily based on heart disease risk and recommend a TC range of <200 mg/dL as desirable. TC range <200 mg/dL, however, may not be necessarily a sign of good health when other diseases are considered. The diseases associated with lower TC levels and potential mechanisms have not been conclusively identified."

> and do you truly believe they will step back from this bill?

step back? they're criticising the government for not doing more/watering it down.

if anything the next government will strengthen these rules, not water them down.
This is like saying apples are better than oranges.

One is a document markup language. The other is a data notation.

YAML is better understood as a family of notations at this point. For every gripe about the standard YAML implementation, there is a "safe" implementation that does not have that problem. You don't have the throw the readability baby out with the footgun bathwater.
This has been excellent so far(I'm 5 hours in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAh_Kx5Zh5Q

I have experience way back with Unity and this has been getting me up-to-speed with the Editor/Engine. It uses GDScript, but I've been following along with C# just fine.
That's what Clojure got right. Comma is whitespace. When you print a datastructure, it has commas. But they don't effect reading of that structure. Its brilliant and practical.
Modern Chinese family names are often one syllable, but China and Japan do not share language nor have much ancestral connections, and Japanese family names are usually not one syllable.
He is rich. He can't really have a clue about how the world actually works. That's why he is either dishonest or naive. We should just not listen to him, IMHO.
Additionally, use early hints to push resources to the client before your server responds with the rendered page.
An alternative is to think of the browser as a distributed managed cache.

Browsers have a cache API that can be used directly or in service/webworkers.

A managed cache comes with significant upsides, such as complete control, but costs design/developer time and comes with a risk:

Caching done wrong can lead to bugs that are very hard to reason about and fix. Especially when service workers are involved.

Frankly VPNs don't protect you from anything other than the most monitoring systems and the occasional public wifi connection. They're really just glorified Netflix region proxies and nothing more to most people
While I believe this might not have come out under a Labour government, do you think Starmer will backpedal on it?

Of course not, and his excuse will be "the Tories will use that to paint us as anti-children", when in reality, the surveillance state is older and more engrained than any party.

The Tories have ruined the country, but I wish people stopped seeing them as pure evil against the pure good that is Labour, which is far from the case. They're all rotten in their own way, and it's not them pulling the pervasive surveillance strings. I wouldn't know who is for certain, but it's a combination of being in the Five Eyes, our friendship with the USA, the very favourable media, and the cultural fact that British people have been OK with total surveillance for decades.
I wonder what some of the regional quirks are, instances where the implementation strays from the standard, but if you don’t do it in quirks mode, you can’t connect to the cellular connection or calls will not go through etc.

A sort of woops, non-strict YAML moment, but in telecommunications.
Not sure the actual authors of the various overlapping Linux network subsystems even know the comprehensive picture "inside and out" for chronic lack of consistent documentation.

Last time I managed a small «supercomputer», 50x IBM blades running Suse, it wouldn't support PXE/NFS without kernel customization, but that would void support contracts and finicky third-party software. Made a switch to FreeBSD, where everything worked out of the box one hour later. That was over 15 years ago, I have no idea how much the situation changed.
So you want to ban cars from the cities? I can work with that and would enjoy it, if there are working alternatives.

I don't really like these content marketing posts, that subtly hide referrals.

I also don't want to jump to conclusions, maybe the author really does like PicPerf (and just so happened to include a referral tag lol), but I think most people here are very sensitive to content marketing.

I'm trying to apply for a visa, and it's almost impossible to find official government documents or 1st hand experiences buried underneath all the shitty content marketing from law firms.
The person in the comments merely noted that it doesn't work well in Vietnam. Given that this is the internet, and given that the author said it works well without giving a clear location as to where it works well, I think it's safe to say that in this specific instance, "Why did you expect it to work for every single place on the world?" has a simple answer: Because OP said so, in the article.

Nobody here demands that an OSS project works well in every part of the world. What is being criticized here is the US-centric view of the article author, and the original comment merely noted that you can't make a general assumption of suckiness based on one location.

Again, the problem isn't with the app. It's with the way the article assumes everyone reading this lives somewhere where the app doesn't suck.

A rich text-based UI feels like it has all the downsides of a GUI while substantially lacking the upsides.

For example, Tilde. It seems nice and maybe it has nice features, but what about these features is so highly dependent on being accessible through a "menu"? Do you reach for the "menu" all the time? Or are there fancy "dialogs"?

This feels like Vim, but with some strange plugin that provides a "menu". I'd think why not just jump ahead and ditch the quasi-GUI and just learn some shortcuts?

Honestly not trying to be difficult here. I want to understand the mindset, because you are definitely not alone.
They don't claim they'll remove `onMount`.

They claim most (but not all) of current usage of `onMount` will be better off using `$effect` instead
I agree 100% with your second paragraph, and understand the frustration, but this isn't an instance of that. From what I've seen online, the most praise for OSM comes from European countries, where it seems to have better data than even the Google/Apple offerings. It has pretty good data here in India too, surprisingly good in some parts, pretty weak in others.
But the main hypothesis holds - out of the many open source maps apps I've tried, Organic Maps is the one that sucks the least, in terms of usability, performance, robustness, etc.
I've been in the Keto community for years, until I realized that the whole community is full of quacks, indeed.

There's no intelligent discussion to be had because the Keto “science” has been proven wrong repeatedly. At this point, I don't think it's worthy of respect, actually. And don't get me wrong, I don't want censorship or anything of the kind. People believing that crap will eventually realize that it hurts them, whereas a small minority will double down.

The problem with the Keto “science”, and its arguments, is that the goal posts are moved, much like anything non-falsifiable, and the studies that are supposedly in their favor are cherry-picked, or misinterpreted. Whereas, they dismiss studies or reviews that prove them wrong, even if high quality (e.g., RCT, pre-registered), based on non-scientific grounds (e.g., not long enough, use of the wrong proxy markers, etc.). What's ironic is that we do have year-long, high-quality studies on nutrition. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are understood fairly well, but they rarely attack those. They are also full of double standards, crying “conflict of interest” from the “sugar and oil industry”, while not observing the conflict of interest in their backyard, including the conflict of interest from those peddling the nonsense.

And all the nonsense they spew on cholesterol is accompanied by a conspiracy theory involving Ancel Keys and his limited selection of countries to study. They conveniently ignore the facts that a selection had to be made post-world-war, as few countries had data available, and those studies are pretty good, actually, and his findings were replicated. Keto and conspiracy theories go hand in hand.

When I made the comparison with anti-vaxxing or homeopathy, it's quite a literal comparison. They have conferences and are “science”-based too.
None of the 'Mini's' are Mini. They're just BMW that bought the brand and builds cars loosely inspired on the original, with sizes ranging from 1.25 times the original all the way up to definitely non-Mini crossovers. Our company had one of the smaller ones as a lease car and even though it drove ok'ish it definitely didn't feel or drive like a small car. It was a way for BMW to appeal more to women (with that demographic BMW never really caught on) who loved the original Mini to bits. And then wealthy women want a larger but still trendy car.

BMW is hyper aggressive about the brand, including going after each and every use of the brand for the original cars, even when used in the context of spare parts.
Come on man ... no company wants their DB leaked regardless of what's inside. There's probably zero Western companies in 2023 that "don't care" about PPI leaking from their systems.
Labour did the same thing too (c.f.: Jacqui Smith, et al.): so whichever party is in government they'll kowtow to the Home Office via the Home Secretary. For good, for bad, for worse.

Hardly, given how the Linux kernel is an implementation detail, Linux drivers are considered legacy (all modern drivers should be in userspace since Treble, written in Java/C++/Rust), and the NDK doesn't expose Linux APIs as stable interface.

So not something to build GNU/Linux distributions on top of.
I'm UK based, went to an arts university, I work as a SWE at a company in the US. I think most tech companies, especially startups, would be more impressed by an unfinished but interesting side project than any certs or qualifications.
I sincerely don't understand when is this useful. It basically removes all the existing abstractions in the code, and replaces with inline code. Those abstractions were created by someone for some reasons. Blindly destroying them in the name of "refactoring" is just wrong. Refactoring should be process that involves intellectual creativity, involves deeply understanding the intricacy of dependencies and references, not mechanically expanding functions and call it done.

Of course, just like rust-analyzer's "Expand macro recursively" command, this could be used as an analysis utility, even better if it works not only on functions but also C/C++ macros.
I would be shocked if it couldn’t decode base64.
The honest answer is - I don't know. But what I would like to happen is for my friends and colleagues to say "This sort of thing is unacceptable in a democratic society and it makes me upset" and not "meh what are you going to do". Going further you could support foundations fighting for our privacy rights, they have much better experience and are better connected to lobby on our behalf. I agree that merely voting for major parties is not enough - but there are organisations within this country that bring these issues up to the attention of the parliment, lords and various commissions and regulatory bodies.

There’s a difference between knowing the physical and chemical reactions and being able to reproduce it. We have reproduced it, but not yet sustainably and in an economically profitable way.

We can’t reproduce exactly what the sun is doing, because we don’t want the whole planet to run fusion. One of the large problems to solve, as I understand it, is containment. No need for containment on the sun.
It's a common enough idiom from "stone age" bare bones K&R C, absolutely.

It's also one of the great foot-guns of C programming as there are so many other almost but not that idioms and it's never clear on casual inspection whether the result of an assignment was meant to be examined or the result of a comparison.

With the evolution of C and C sanity tools that rightfully flag such statements for double checking and the desire to not have spurious flagging, etc. it's more common in later C code to see (say)

if ((err = someFunction()) != NOERROR) { errorHandle(err) }

that optimises down to the same intermediate code where NOERROR is 0, sure, but it makes it very clear what is going on, an intended assignment and then an intended comparison.

As with all idoms the general practice in the larger codebase and house code standard rules apply - there are other ways of doing similar things.
