I do not think it's true. It's wishful thinking at best, but sadly (or not, depending on your views), Eastern Europe is going through an identity crisis right now, and at least in Romania/Ukraine/Russia pré invasion (don't know about other countries), you could see a lot of misery and a lot of people yearning for the 'good old days', even people who weren't alive back then. I'd say it's half 50+, half young people, mostly poor people.

Yes and for a very good reason; i don't want to bias your understanding of the matter with my own take/words. Given the amount of misinformation/insinuations/malicious agendas/emotional manipulations involved over this subject it is imperative that people read up on both the objective (Carnegie endowment article) and subjective (both pro and con articles) before trying to discuss/understand the issues. Hence i have provided a very small number of relevant links which can easily be read in a few minutes for personal edification.

I don't think things are back to "normal" (ie stupid high valuations and people throwing money at startups. In reality, I would argue that "plan for the worst" and try to be "default alive" *is* normal, and that it's the last 10 years that have been abnormal, but I digress..)

Interest rates are high, and there is a lot less money sloshing about looking for a home. AI startups are a thing, and people are still trying to make huge returns there, but I doubt this will last long.

The "real" money is in the series B,C,D companies that raised at unicorn level and above. They cut back a lot but I doubt many are 'default live', and we'll likely still see the impact over the next 1-3 years as they burn through their previous ($50M+) funding rounds. They still have cash in the bank and they are still burning it, but it's going to run out and they are not going to be able to raise the same amount again, and definitely not at the 'valuations' that they got.

Actually freezing or potentially freezing?

As I mentioned in a comment above I'm not aware of any individual that had their personal savings frozen.

I recall a lot of reporting that it might happen and I recall a question time in which the accusation was made that it had happened but when pressed no actual details of to whom could be provided.

That dates back to about the time of your linked reporting which also talks about the potential for abuse but does not cite an example of abuse.

If you have an actual verified account of this actually happening it would be of interest.

The US is the only major Western country where its citizens buy guns to protect themselves from other citizens with guns.

I'm not really seeing how that counts as "friendly and collective", but I live in the EU so perhaps I just don't understand these things.
Ah once again a 15 Pro Max. See, I think it’s rumored this is due to the new Titanium design where Apple compromised the thermal system for weight.

It’s not thought to be a CPU/A17 issue and in fact their chip designers are probably a bit angry now to be drawn into poor light after all their hard work.

So with these reports, pay attention to if it’s about a Pro or not. They’re (thermally) completely different phones.

If true and complaints loud enough, I’m sure Apple will try to mitigate it with iOS updates, new throttling curves or whatever which will open its own can of worms (“here’s the inside scoop on why your 15 Pro got slow, be sure to click like!!”) OR more careful updates where the effect will be more limited and this will be a design generation lost to thermal issues.
It's possible a lot of people would like to leave but can't. Also, some people would like to return, missing the cultural aspects of the country they left behind or their families, but can't because they're unable to sustain themselves there, they need to continue helping their families economically and depend on the higher wages of where they're residing, or they're afraid because it's dangerous.
I bought a modest gaming rig in 2016 and used systemd/loginctl to convert it into a multiseat setup. One seat for myself and one for the rest of the family.

The amount of value I got so far from this setup is unbelievable. Part of that is proton taking off and giving me and my kids access to most games on steam.

Very grateful to all involved that made it possible.

Still running ubuntu that have just been upgraded over the years on it.

You need friends and allies before you need guns.
Having cancer myself, I can tell you that there are a lot of misconceptions about what life “under chemo” is like. I’m in a clinical trial for pills now, but when I was doing infusions, the worst of them had me out of commission for about 4 days - chemo day (which was about schedule, not side effects), then days 4, 5, and sometimes 6 after chemo day. The rest were completely manageable, in fact I looked forward to working.

This is not to belittle his experience or cast him in a negative light; I wish him well and I know that overall it leaves you feeling less than normal, and I can completely relate. But “under chemo” is not always as debilitating as you might think.
I don't like Gnome so much, but enshittification is quite a strong word to qualify it.

I'd prefer we reserved this word for when stuff gets worse because of money / investors, with incentives at odds with the user needs.

I don't believe Gnome suffers from decisions that are bad because of financial incentives.

“ What i dont understand is why such countries advertise themselves as “welcoming” when in fact are pretty unwelcoming and closed.”

Good observation. Probably the answer is that it felt morally good in the short term. Many members of the “educated class” in Sweden wanted to feel good about doing what they believed was right, but just as long as it didn’t mean actually having to be too close to the newcomers. So they kept filling up the (in relative terms) unattractive remote districts and tried for a long time to look away while problems there built up and gang shootings and bombings became frequent

I’ve heard hypotheses about Sweden’s collective guilt about having helped the Nazis during the 2nd world war being a possible cause for the posture as “moral superpower” which shaped the politics of the later decades.

I think that's a really useful thought exercise. FYI I posted this thread - could we interview you about this for our article? Just 10 mins. I'm at harry[at]embeddable.com.
Depends if you join the socialist elite or become their slaves like the rest of us.

They murdered 100 million last century, how many billions this century?
I would think that’s illegal. Also I would quit if I was asked to do this. Not worth going to jail for a job.
Just as with the people who wake up every morning expecting the Second Coming, or indeed a Nuclear War, these folks fixate on a hyperinflationary US economy so much they begin to hallucinate.

Everything must be a sign. Strong job figures? Those are a precursor to hyperinflation. More mortgages fail than average? Hyperinflation on the horizon. Trump gets elected? He'll certainly cause hyperinflation. Trump loses? Democrat policies lead to hyperinflation.

They're not capable of understanding that they're wrong. JWs for example believe that the end of the world is extremely imminent... and it has been for over a hundred years. I know JWs who were taught as kids that their grandparents would live to see "God's Kingdom" and now, having lost those grandparents, they're still preaching the same nonsense and their own grandkids will be brought up to do the same.
Visa never takes on any risk, the card issuing bank would be subsidizing, if that.
For me it comes down to ignoring valid use-cases because some people might misuse it (but can already do that without this product) without actually improving anything in the larger sense. It feels like a waste.

I understand that theoretically it lowers the bar, as you said. But in my view that's not as drastic as many are expecting. You still have an LED showing the person is taking a picture and they have to command it with their voice (or a button in the glass?) to take a picture. That's apparent enough for me.

That'll be equivalent to someone pointing a phone at you. Depending on the situation it would be even more apparent since holding your phone up is extremely common today.

I absolutely hate the state we are today, but I don't see how prohibiting/shaming this product will improve anything. I can definitely see the appeal of having one of these in trips, shows, etc. Those legitimate use-cases are being bundled up with the paranoia of strangers taking pictures, which already happens today, whether we want to believe it or not.

Imagine having concerts where people aren't fucking holding their phones up all the time again. Now that would be a sight for sore eyes.

Having said all that, maybe I'm simply numb at this point. I know we're in dystopia territory already so might as well have some nice trinkets with it.
>- Real VM you can snapshot and transfer to another computer running VirtualBox, even on another OS, as VBox supports other operating systems.

I just migrated my home setup to UnRAID. Among the things I was looking forward to was an improved VM experience; I had been happy with VirtualBox, but KVM in UnRAID is a "real Type 1 hypervisor" so had to be better, amirite fellas? Boy, was I shocked when I saw how poor the VM functionality is compared to VirtualBox.

(Yes, I know that UnRAID's GUI does not contain all the functionality `virsh` has (I've heard that the next major release will improve on this). None of that changes the fact that KVM snapshots don't survive beyond reboots, making it impossible to do what I took for granted from back in the VMware days: Rebooting the server and expecting that my VMs will gracefully and automatically save, restart, and continue on.)
Is anyone else bothered by how the article just repeats the last paragraph, starting from the title with slightly more detail for every paragraph?

Is there a name or term for this writing style? All I know it's related to padding when you don't really have any information.
There's 2 different aspects people mean when they call sth functional programming:

- higher order functions (lambdas, currying, closures, etc.)

- pure functions, immutability by default, side effects are pushed to the top level and marked clearly

The first aspect of functional programming has been already accepted by most OOP languages (even C++ has lambdas and closures).

The second aspect of functional programming is what makes it useful on GPU (because GPU architecture that makes it so powerful requires no interactions between code fragments that are run in parallel on 1000s of cores). So you can easily run pure functional code on GPU, but you can't easily run imperative code on GPU.

You can introduce side effects to functional programming, but then it ceases to be any more useful for GPU (and other parallel programming) than imperative/OOP.
When a single entity controls a significant share of internet traffic, it opens the door to various issues. Cloudflare, for instance, has the capacity to unilaterally determine who can or cannot access the internet, effectively setting the rules. While these powers often originate from well-intentioned goals, such as blocking malicious actors, they can eventually be applied in more arbitrary ways. Arguments for privacy often fall flat in this context, as robust privacy measures could inadvertently protect malicious users. The average internet user generally lacks the understanding to grasp these complexities. Even unintentional errors, like merging a flawed code update, can result in widespread internet outages, as has happened with Cloudflare in the past.

This concentration of power in the hands of a few companies, like Cloudflare, Google, and Meta, is precisely why anti-trust laws were established. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of political will to enforce these laws effectively. As a result, the future landscape of the internet is likely to differ radically from what we are familiar with, and not for the better.
The most common way to translate this would be:

Der Mann beißt den Hund.

This emphasizes that the man bites the dog. (Who bites the dog? The man.)

The other possible translation would be:

Den Hund beißt der Mann.

https://github.com/ncruces/keyless was my attempt to provide you with the necessary tools to build your own service that would not only:

I think there are two perspectives on this. Either this is a very good PR campaign so that these retail companies can sell literally anything to any customer. Or people are concerned about the inflation rates so that they went back to the roots of the USD which is gold. In both of the cases, this should be researched in-depth
Plus, beyond the fascinating architecture, it was a beautiful machine. The Cray-1 and its successors may occupy more historical memory (see: Sneakers (1992)) but the CM-1, CM-2, and to a lesser degree (in my ever so humble opinion), the CM-5 blow Cray's most iconic machines out of the water on the sexiness axis.

Ah, does that hack still work though? I would be surprised if it did, since the story was from years ago.
Assuming there is no material misrepresentation of how this system operates, I would find it hard to argue that it is disproportionate to keep record of an IP address that somehow makes publicly available a file with copyrighted contents.

I too would, from a pure self-interest perspective, like to share e.g. media with impunity, but for the sake of evaluating this opinion it's not reasonable to assume a position where copyright doesn't exist.

I'd be interested in arguments against this opinion.
Technically they can survive a shower or swim until they've been dropped once. Which is to say, no they can't survive it.
> Projects like WINE tried, but there's just not enough you can do only with open-source contributors, with such a massive undertaking.

Proton is basically just Wine, right? Aside from that CodeWeavers has been doing commercial Wine development for a long time.

Almost all of Wine already existed before Valve got involved. Yes, they help out too, and that's great, but people are hugely over-crediting Valve (and here, hugely under-crediting all those open source contributors, who did the overwhelming majority of the work).
Because prosecutors realize it generally looks unpopular and there's much better things they could be doing with their time in favor of the public interest.
FWIW, fully a quarter of the screen is taken up by fixed position elements that are entirely irrelevant to a reader. When I see this on sites I want or have to use, I add cosmetic rules to delete the sticky elements. When I see it on sites I don't have to use, I close the tab.

I don't claim that this makes it a net loss for you from a money standpoint, nor that I'm representative of a majority of your market, but I _do_ suspect I'm the sort of potential customer that isn't easily studied in an A/B test.

Thanks so much for all your hard work. Sunshine/Moonlight are _incredible_. I could never get Steam streaming working but S/M just worked flawlessly from the go. The quality is so good that I ended up selling my Steam Deck and playing everything on the desktop streaming to various Apple devices over S/M. Feels like magic.
A truly vertical business would own the stars manufacturing gold, and cut out the middle man entirely.
All the tools exist to build your own. For example with a esp32-s3 and a custom pcb at one of the low priced fab houses in China. Sure you have to do it yourself.

The primary reason off the shelve products are cloud etc. is because these companies spent the time and money to do the above and since no on wants to pay 100+ for an iot switch they add cloud garbage etc. These products are now sold to the masses and if you have to support them you need control over them or your costs go through the roof.

I am working on a hardware iot product (no cloud) and I have to tape off the USB service port not because there is anything that could go wrong but because people don't read instructions and think the thing will power over USB when there is a power supply included with a barrel plug...
PipeWire made sound finally work flawlessly for me on Linux, Proton made it possible to play a ton of games, graphics drivers being stable, especially for Vulcan and Firefox enabling hardware acceleration.

Some things are worse as you note, but there have been som important improvements.
Any number of things may be true. But one cannot sensibly infer those things from this sample of people that is very far from being a random sample, but is actually a heavily selected sample. If you're really interested in the state of things "back home", don't seek out a group of people who are very likely to be slanted toward having a particular view (whether that view be positive or negative), and when they express that view conclude that all must have that view. All may have that view, but to conclude that it is actually the case, based on such terrible evidence, is totally absurd!

It's funny, I read those Che t-shirts completely differently to the way you do.

What could be more capitalist than remixing a photo of a communist revolutionary and selling it for profit? I see them as ironic, not endorsing, especially in their remixed state.

I guess this just underlines the fact RMS shouldn't have signed the t-shirt - it's just a graphic, so you could make out it means anything.

The immigration was never an economic benefit for Sweden, I recall that someone calculated that the average immigrant was actually a net cost for the nation, given the disproportionate amount of welfare costs that it takes to take in these people. The idea that we took them in against their will and because we wanted to exploit them, is a very wrong idea on more than a factual level, in fact it reeks of the kind of passive aggressive gaslighting that seeks to propagandize Swedish men and women to hate themselves.

And even then, theories about why it didn't work is certainly something that belongs in an ivory tower. Now we need decisive policy to correct this giant error, no matter "what caused the error". Mass deportation is the only solution that I see, and the more we wait in implementing it, I predict the less peaceful the outcome will be.
Either I'm uneducated or I'm missing something about your post, but what "socialist elite" are you referring to here?
> This is why we ask all users where they heard about PostHog whenever they sign up or book a demo – it's a simple (optional) free text field. Enough of our users say 'ad on Google' or similar that we know paid ads do actually reach a large chunk of them.

You have to be careful with how you word questions.

If you ask how I first noticed that something exists, then yes, an ad may well be it because ads are so in your face and hard to avoid. But it almost never is what convinces me to try the thing. In some cases ads actually dissuade me from trying the thing.

For instance, I'm extremely allergic to the word "proprietary". If that's your selling point, then you automatically fall way down in my list. I like my software boring and useful for my ends, not to be locked into somebody else's system.

Pretty much always what does it for me in the end is positive discussion in technical spaces.
I feel similarly. While I absolutely can't and won't operate under the severe restrictions that an ideologically pure stance on software freedom ala Stallman would impose, I'm glad that there are some people, like Stallman himself, who take it to those extremes, tirelessly advocate for improvement and thus move the needle towards a better middle ground for everyone.
Again, I can make anything "appear" to have invisible mass if I ignore the appropriate theories and fit mass in where it "ought to be" to recover the observed dynamics.

Theories besides dark matter don't posit new fundamental forces, they posit that our understanding of gravity is incomplete and only applies in the limit of high-mass-density spacetime regions. This kind of elaboration of our physical theories has significant precedent: Newtonian mechanics is recovered when considering general relativity in the limit of distance scales much smaller than light-seconds and time scales much longer than infinitesimal time. It could be as well that our current models are only applicable in the limit of regions of dense mass. When things thin out (say, near the edges of galaxies) the transition to a modified dynamics appears to have significant explanatory power (since the limit no longer applies) with the added benefit that there's actually a model that can be validated or falsified.
I wonder if one can arbitrage using credit card to buy gold then sell it back later.

If you assume gold prices can fluctuate a few percent, one can imagine making profit purely through the credit card rewards.

Essentially credit card funded benefits.
