At my last job I used a dummy iCloud account at the system level, but you can log into a separate account for the app store, which was necessary to avoid having to re-buy some apps I depend on.

Just as I was leaving they were in the process of replacing everyone's computer with new ones that were much more locked down.
Thanks that was insightful
One of my problems with representative democracy is that there is never a candidate that ticks all my boxes. I.e. an actual representative. If I vote for someone to keep my digital liberties, they want to ban nuclear power instead, or whatever. It's all a tradeoff, and I don't think it's good that the tradeoff needs to happen so early in the process of representating me.

I like Switzerland (where I currently live,) because they have direct voting on topics, mixed with electing representatives. There's a filter so the people don't have to vote on everything, but for the big questions, there's already a system in place to ask the people. That must have sucked 100 years ago, when communication was more limited, but today, I think every nation should move to it. It also keeps the people engaged (voting on 3-4 topics every quarter,) and not just something that happens every four years.

Maybe that would have saved Sweden from the extreme sides of (nationalist) politics, and from banning investments into nuclear for 40 years before ripping that up. Mind you the nuclear disinvestment was based on a (non-binding) ballot vote, but my problem is no one dared challenge it, or have a process to re-ballot the question, in 40 years. Even in light of new climate information.

It's not at all obvious whether stopping CSAM is really the primary goal of some of the people who are pushing these regulations. It seems just like a justification to invade personal privacy.
If you don't like weapons that's a fair point, but not sure in a world with aggression they are necessarily bad as such (and the Nazis used everything for evil).

The discovery (then in its white allotrope) of phosphorus was critically important for many things down the line - not sure we could survive without knowing about that element.
Then one might even use jQuery here and there. A bit more convenient than vanilla JS.

A lot of people mentioning Gerrit, but Gitlab seems to support this too. It also removes approvals for the new changeset in case any were already present (by default, you can now disable this). It seems to have supported changesets forever so I'm surprised GitHub doesn't.

I've also considered not allowing contributors to force push. Instead any changes would be pushed (possibly as fixup! or squash! commits) so all history of the merge request is easily accessible. To be rebased/squashed later, of course.
With medical devices you have to act on the assumption that the software will fail and that mitigations should be in place to deal with the consequences of failure.
For anyone else looking to try Indian/Pakistani pickles. They are made of various fruits and veggies. Mango is the most popular one in Pakistan. Others include carrot, lemon, green pepper, onion and some other ones.

Pickle is dipped and preserved in oil. My family has made mango pickle at home many time over the years. Like GP it is eaten in span of months. It can be very sour. Here in UK, we have found Ahmad Foods pickles to be the best choice so far.

I have seen on TV that one of the favourite Indian meals is Paratha and Pickle. Is it a common meal?
And knives. And other sharp objects. And anything that can serve as a blunt weapon. Ropes can also be dangerous. Communication between people can lead to dangerous thoughts and ideas, we must censor it. In fact we should ban everything.

The only fucking things that should be allowed are small solitary cells with padded walls covered with Mickey Mouse pictures and sugary drinks with testosterone-reducing drugs.

No I just think you have shared a bunch of anecdotes and that you are not a history geek in the first place.
That's exactly it. We know Apple plays by the rules. EU demands it and they make all phones USB-C, CCP demands it and they host iCloud stuff in PRC. If they are required to give out data to fight CSAM, they will comply. Hopefully Apple would try to not make it "free for all" but whatever they do it will probably be hidden behind relevant regulations, as opposed to a solution they tried to push.
If you want a casual way of saying exactly 2, "pair" rather than "couple". A pair, even in the most casual sense, is really really exactly 2.
Objective-C only became relavant because of Apple, and even so, macOS has more lines of C++ code than BeOS.

Objective-C driver subsystem from NeXTSTEP was replaced by C++, and plenty of subsystems are written in Objective-C++.

Metal uses C++ as shading language.

As ex-Nokian, Symbian failed not because of Symbian C++, but because of management and internal politics.
I started building something like this last year, but eventually stopped working on it https://nomadz.app/

I still like the concept. But it feels tough to compete with Google Maps in the geo-information / review space. If Google Maps just added a more robust reviewing feature (eg. wifi speed) and metadata (outlets), then there wouldn't be a need for our projects.

Also individually there is inherently no incentive to share some gem of a coffee shop you found with limited seating capacity to strangers on the internet. I had some ideas to work around that, but it's something that really needs to be addressed. It's amazing anyone even bothers to write reviews for any sites (except as a favor to a nice person, or out of revenge for terrible service) given that none of the platforms really incentivize it, which is a shame. As much flack as social media sites get, I do believe there is space for it in this domain - which I guess Google Maps is sort of starting to adopt but Google is just horrendously terrible at trying to do anything in the social media space or UI/UX-related (eg. like a bunch of CS nerds trying to create a women's fashion blog).
A big part of the problem with these prosecutions is that the prosecuting authority is the Post Office itself. Until this case came along, I had no idea that the Post Office had these powers.

So effectively, the Post Office was acting as both complainant and prosecuting authority.

"The Post Office Investigation Branch (IB) is the oldest recognised criminal investigations force in the world. For more than 335 years it has worked to detect offences against the post and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes."

Yes, if you are going to look upwards, why wouldn't you look right to the top at banks and finance? Those who run banking are able to exercise some coordinating control over every industry.

But if you look downwards, bad food and health are choices that people make. Many people want this stuff - individuals are getting what they want.
I have not seen or met any anti-natalists that explicitly want to stop others from having children, and if there are any, that's such a fringe minority as to be inconsequential (just like in other thought groups, like vegans). The vast majority of anti-natalists are like the ones in some of these comments, asking whether it is moral to have children. They are not pushing that onto others.
I used to have have aphantasia.

Now, I can visualize and pre-plan projects and events in my mind's eye.

To get started I never did any techniques. Instead, I just listened to fantasy & fiction audiobooks (eg by GRRM and Joe Abercrombie).

Once I started seeing scenes in my imagination, I made the connection that "This is just like daydreaming or thinking of memories!"

Then I took some training on personal growth which practiced changing the size, color, dimensions, etc and now it's become a powerful tool.
I would add some nuiance and state that a lot of popular software is broken to the point that it's main function (the reason that the software exists) is not working.

Some examples:
-- The websites of various airlines (TAP, Vueling, KLM) have often had bugs in them (in the past 2 years when I used them) to the point that they don't allow you to book tickets or log-in with your account. I would say they where broken more often than not.
-- Instagram and Google have been deactivating people's accounts (automatically) for no apparent reason. I've had this happen with Instagram 3x in the space of 2 months after which I just gave up and stopped using it.
-- Skype, no explanation needed for those who use it.
-- Teams fails in many amazing ways no matter how often they "update" it. I've heard stories about the mute button not actually muting, Teams suddenly reversing the order of the letters in your sentence as you're typing in a chat, it just shuts down in the middle of a call, unresponsive, etc etc etc. The amount of productivity these bugs in this software burn worldwide must be significant and the real cost to companies in the form of wasted man-hours is likely higher than whatever they pay in licensing fees to Microsoft.
-- Telegram can't handle an external monitor (the scaling gets all messed up causing you to have to restart Telegram to fix it).
-- iCloud takes between seconds and an hour or so to sync files even when all devices are on a good connection.
> and they of course used Objective C.

Kind of, they also introduced Java as OS X system language alternative, with a Objective-C runtime interop, as they were uncertaint that the Mac OS developer community, raised in Object Pascal and C++, were that keen in adopting Objective-C.

Java as official OS X language only got deprecated after it was clear the Mac OS developer community was keen in adopting Objective-C.

Also the Objective-C driver framework from NeXTSTEP was rewritten in an C++ subset, based on COM's design.

This article seems silly to me, considering that plenty of these games already exist. A friend of mine just released their game, Settlemoon after a year of development, while they did other work. According to Steam charts, it's made them around $20k since launch. The issue is clearly discoverability, not that developers just don't release small games.

read the article. literally the first few paragraphs:

> In the 1980s, tobacco giants Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds acquired the major food companies Kraft, General Foods and Nabisco, allowing tobacco firms to dominate America’s food supply and reap billions in sales from popular brands such as Oreo cookies, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and Lunchables.

> The new research, published in the journal Addiction, focuses on the rise of “hyper-palatable” foods, which contain potent combinations of fat, sodium, sugar and other additives that can drive people to crave and overeat them. The Addiction study found that in the decades when the tobacco giants owned the world’s leading food companies, the foods that they sold were far more likely to be hyper-palatable than similar foods not owned by tobacco companies.

it is difficult to argue that they were simply unfortunate to happen to produce one class of unhealthy products when the same companies proceeded to then move on to an entirely different product class, and somehow also engineer products to also be maximally addictive and, as it turns out, unhealthy.

Pickles in general also don't look like this at all, no one is eating 75 year old shriveled up pickles, lol. They are fresh and bright red and are eaten over a few months, not over decades.
Reading this, I realized that a similar thing developed in German, my native tongue, but from a different root. As a noun, capital Paar refers to a pair of exactly two, like “ein Paar Schuhe”, or a couple (n.), like “das Paar”. As a pronoun, lowercase paar refers to a few or a couple of.

This leads to this weird situation where “ein Paar Socken” is exactly two socks, but “ein paar Socken” can be a few socks, like 2-7. The pronunciation is exactly the same, and both versions are in common use.
Oh, indeed it is mentioned, i overlooked this part.

> It even mentions Jupiter's moons later

It is not a coincidence, I reused the example to illustrate my point.
even the poorest people in US and Europe live _unreasonably_ comfortable lives.

This is ridiculous. They do not.
Is this actually true? Here in Europe where I live or travel you can buy dozens of great fresh salads at every supermarket, they cost reasonably and most folks dont need much bigger lunch.

The bigger issue I see is folks having weak will - why take that salad when next to it is well cooked sausage or pizza slice. When talking about it, few admit they lost the battle of will with themselves, most come up with some made up version of reality where its actually almost ok.
One thing not mentioned is that US usage has 'couple' as an adjective whereas in British usage it is a noun - hence "a couple hours" is incorrect in Britain, we must say "a couple of hours".
This is a non sequitur strawman.

> You add to the hurt of this world in the name of victims who would rather you do something more useful.

Wrong. Maybe try talking to people that don't want that kind of verbiage instead of making bad assumptions. Removing terminology associated with slavery has high support among those that actually were descendants of slaves.

> This is about you, not about them.

As such, this sounds like projection.
Garlic pickle is also amazing!
Enjoying games written for Windows/XBox, while studios targeting Android, don't even care to easily port their games to GNU/Linux.
its multiple directions at play, since the "cardinal directions" of the parent aren't defined by flex-direction alone. If the writing-mode of a parent block formatting context is set to a vertical mode, then flexbox' "row" will run vertically - which is why flexbox directions are "row" and "column", and can only thought of as "vertical/horizontal" in "horizontal-tb" writing mode.

Further, there's no "bottom to top" mode for horizontal scripts, but vertical modes can have a block axis running either ltr or rtl, affecting the direction of the flex cross axis. Which likely leads to the necessity to also abstract "row-reverse" and "column-reverse" directions for the ordering of items.

now as for distribution of items on either axis (whichever direction it may have), referring rows/columns when might become misleading, and also having to address individual rows (align-content) complicates things. Finding another set of terms for flexbox alone might start to become messy, since display:grid and multicolumn layouts will also require these settings.

I don't know the actual origin of align & justify either, but I have the feeling coming up with better terms might not be that easy

Not surprised yours skated across a muddy field.
Not just a American South thing. There's an old school Chinese snack of braising peanuts in soy sauce, sesame oil, some spices, and a small amount of sugar to make it both fragrant and quite tasty. I think Chinese style though is to shell the peanuts first before cooking for convenience of the person eating them, but I've seen some folks cook them in the shell as well.
There's a lot of shaker-meals these days, like Huel, that you can easily bring anywhere and prepare on the spot. Including meal-bars.

In a fight between law and maths, maths can't be arrested up, can't be put on trial, can't be detained at the border. It is intangible, and can be anywhere, even inside the unreadable mind of a traveller.

The only way for any state to prevent the use of crypto they can't break is to wind back all the things that can perform it, meaning all computers, not just all internet banking and other things that are everywhere now and can't be used safely without it.

States are free to do so, because a state can outlaw physical devices, seize them at the border, etc. — but that is what it would take to do this. I doubt they will, but that's the only option.

Unfortunately, we also have the problem that political factions both native and foreign regularly try to undermine states; doing so in secret is a necessary but not sufficient part of this, and thus getting past crypto is IMO absolutely necessary[0] to keep any state from being usurped.

Fortunately (from the POV of a state) "getting past crypto" can also be Van Eck phreaking, not just weak crypto.

Unfortunately for everyone, just as any crypto backdoor is almost certain to be exploited by criminals gangs to get valuable information, so so are the non-crypto surveillance possibilities: not just Van Eck, there's more than one way to use wifi as a wall penetrating radar to violate your privacy; laser microphones can listen on you remotely for pennies; smart dust is just about starting to be a serious possibility rather than a tech demo.

My current vibe here is that each new invention creates a power vacuum that takes 15 years to properly fill, and we're currently creating new tech too fast for either states or organised crime to fill the gaps.

Thanks for kind words. I know these might appear as minor things but i wish that employers, in general, give some signal when there are performance issues (even though they don't have to in the at will states), and at least don't frame termination meetings with so much fabricated pretext. Personally, I am not complaining about the termination itself, but rather the way it was handled, which gave me unnecessary emotional distress
> On the other hand, countries like Poland or Hungary (which I'm guessing we would classify as Western) are becoming more religious.

That is not true. Where did you get that idea?

As if that's the point?

What do you think a hostile workplace is? Do you think being consistently subjected to verbiage that negatively impacts your mental health is a good thing?

Seems odd to me that so many people want to hold onto things that hurt other people and justify it by saying it doesn't solve anything despite the fact that those people are telling you that it will help them.
How does Huel help avoid processed food?
Not pickles, but if your family makes jam in Hungary, then it’s not unusual to have a few jars of decades old ones, made by a long dead relative.
We have a 20 year old plum jam we recently brought from the country house’s pantry.
> they can't do anything about it because they prefer life outside of prison

So they can do something after all? Violence is always an option (if you have no other options).
The companies and even more so their management are just intermediaries. Oil companies are not producing oil for the sake of it or to raise carbon dioxide levels, they are doing it because people buy the stuff made from oil and they can make a profit from it. So the laws you want are laws that discourage people and companies consuming oil and gas. With regard to lobbying and corruption, there many of the laws are probably already in place, I would guess, they just have to be properly enforced.
There is a severe dislocation between what people are being paid, their cost of living and the amount they have to work and spend.
… no?

When big companies fight Chinese copies is it just gatekeeping?
the years are probably part of the problem

there are so many shims and polyfills amongst actual solutions now
The second part could also be the other way round. If there is easy access to CSAM maybe there will be less abuse. I could see either case be true, or that the availability of such material does not change incidence of abuse st all.

But having to train models on real materials is a major moral issue.
>A changeset consists of one or more commits where each makes one logical change

I don't yet see how that is different from just... a sequence of commits, which you can do now. (If you want to claim that you could quickly make a bunch of messy local commits and afterwards reorganise them into a more logical group of commits in a changeset -- you can already do that, without any new concept of changesets, by using `git rebase -i`.)
Glad I don't work with people that would fire people for calling out a hostile workplace. FYI that's illegal...
I have worked in companies where that would be a reason to cease contract.
Well, that's why I avoid dramatization. Anyone can daydream - it takes discipline to think on the margin.

What do I have? What do I want? How can I beat use the former, to achieve the latter? Those are the questions of practical importance.
> Religious sects that promote having large families will thrive, imagine what that will do to our societies.
> What is the solution then? Immigration.

I can understand holding either of those views, but not both at the same time. Why do you expect immigrants from a culture that produces a surplus of people (and pressure to immigrate) to have a lesser/better effect on your culture than the offspring of native religious "sects"?
I haven't used master as the name of the primary branch for years across multiple companies.

depends on what you replace the space with. Bike lockers exist and are awesome.
Good. If you don't have online child sexual abuse to hide, you have nothing to worry about, since for all the other things people do have to hide, such access will ignore that (up to direct threats to safety and national security concerns).

Criminals get easier access to online CSAM, then law enforcement should get easier access to user data. If you think that trade is unfair, take it up with the criminals.
