> So much existing multithreaded Python code is written in an unsafe manner.

Even multi-process Python code is often broken. The "recommended" way to serve a Django app is to run multiple workers (processes) using gunicorn. If you point the default logs to a file, even with log rotation enabled, all workers will keep stepping over each other because nobody knows which file to use. Keep in mind that this is broken by default, and this is the recommended way to use all this.
The impression that I got from the article is that the issue was a combination of bad automatic translation and excessively sensitive attempts to filter out upsetting content. What did you see that came across as discriminatory? I think that there might be something that I'm missing.

Manage your emails more efficiently
Email has seen little innovation in the past 30+ years. Over the last 3 months, we've created an efficient inbox management solution, powered by AI.

AIA helps you with three things:
(1) Auto-block unsolicited emails,
(2) Auto-prioritize important emails,
(3) Automate repetitive tasks starting with incoming emails.

If you're interested in joining, sign up for the free beta.

More importantly, I'm curious to get your feedback on the features above. Which feature is most important to you? Are there other things that bother you about your emails?
Do they have competitors who have been able to provide evidence for those claims?
Ticketmaster is a company which is so hated, people ascribe their success to malice and illegal activity rather than any compelling economic arguments. It's unfortunate because their business model is, imo, quite interesting.

The first thing to point out is that the question itself is flawed. Ticketmaster has a number of competitors (StubHub, Eventbrite, AXS, Seatgeek). Nevertheless, artists do seem to always gravitate to companies like Ticketmaster, even when neither they nor their venue have any affiliation.

What we should ask is what problems a naive artist would face selling their tickets like any other commodity:

- They overprice it: No one shows up, people are angry at the artist, the artist is in debt to the venue for overbooking.

- They underprice it: The tickets are hoovered up by scalpers who capture most of the ticket's true value, fans are disappointed they can't attend because finding a ticket is much harder.

Ticketmaster's (et al) primary service is to capture as much of the value of each ticket as possible (through phased ticket rollouts, faux-sellouts, variable pricing, attendance modelling, etc.) and package the event wholesale for the venue and artist. Both parties are can be guaranteed of some portion of the event before tickets even go on sale and the risk for them both is diminished.

Obviously I'm not trying to say Ticketmaster is all sunshine and lollipops, but if you want to make an argument about Ticketmaster's success, saying that they've cornered the ticketed events market globally is ludicrous.
Pronounce it "or else", as in p or_else q. Hell, even re-using the else keyword mid-expression would work. Or you know, the ultimate in simplicity: don't implement this operator at all.

Linux in Scratch-based RISC-V Emulator
I'm not familiar with GCD but after reading the wiki page, I'd say most languages have something like that: a queue that you can add things to, items can then be processed by multiple threads of execution.

I'd also say that most languages have something similar to OpenMP, parallel for loops, etc. Great if you have some read only data in arrays and wish to process it.

However, in my opinion, it doesn't really matter how convenient a parallel / async programming model is to use as the real work is ensuring that there isn't any shared mutable state being updated in parallel. The other issue is, once you have formulated / re-formulated a particular problem to this model, ensuring that it remains this way is pretty challenging on larger teams. Someone can easily unknowingly commit something that breaks such assumptions.
Something to consider about these smaller countries is that they're a different culture with a different language. Non-native people stand out.

It's a lot harder for people to spread misinformation online in a country like Estonia without speaking Estonian and keeping up with Estonian affairs. I think even corruption would be harder to swing against officials in a small European state compared to the EU, because things are less likely to be lost in endless European bureaucracy.

However, I think the nation itself could be "bribed" in a legal fashion. A large company has the resources to make a good enough offer that the country would make concessions on something important. Eg opening a large data center in exchange for more lenient treatment via regulations.
There's a fundamental error in this article. Gasoline != Oil. Beware shady accounting.

So Norway reduced gasoline demand. Cool. It also increased diesel demand by roughly the same amount over the chart's timeframe. Oh and those EV tires, plastic parts, and the roads they drive on require oil products, driving up oil demand further.

A barrel of oil can be processed into roughly 45% gasoline, 25% diesel, 10% jet fuel, and 20% misc (when you process a barrel of oil, you don't really get to choose). If you only need the diesel, jet fuel, plastic stock, and tar - what are you going to do with the gasoline? Toss it in a hole in the ground? The gasoline will still need to be refined off (and likely burned elsewhere) to get at the other petrol products that Norway demands.

But if you cook the books right, you can make it look like someone else is burning the gasoline so it's __their__ problem, not yours.

An honest framing of the problem, and honest accounting, would show that Norway's EV play has done very little to decrease its reliance on oil. It's only gasoline demand that's declining. If you can't make that basic distinction, you shouldn't be writing articles about it.
And of course the kernel immediately handles the ^C as if it were typed, if the terminal is in cooked mode. Fun.

At least that doesn’t work inside of a proper editor.
There are some obvious problem scenarios though, which are unfortunately likely to happen:

* The "no human in the loop" combat robot is deployed into an area with non-combatants, but wrongly classifies them as enemy combatants.

* The "no human in the loop" combat robot gets damaged while in active combat, forgetting the concept of "friendlies"

* The "no human in the loop" combat robot gets hacked. All sorts of ways this could go badly. If they're hacked en-masse that's potentially amplified dramatically.

Sort of depends on if they have a duty of care and are required to intervene medically.

I think George Floyd is a good case study for reform; Chauvin and all officers should be required to assess for medical emergencies at all times basically and take at least some level of medical action when necessary. So Chauvin should have been required to check for consciousness and then provide aid once finding Floyd to be in medical distress.

1. Canvas is not really open source. It was open source a long time ago, but now it is open-code really.

Instructure was taken over by a Hedge Fund and since then, all the new developments are not part of the Open Source. The open source is a bit crippled now.

None of the new features such as the New Quizzes (yes, its called that), New RCE Text Area, New Analytics, etc etc are not available on the Open Source Version.

So yes, the Billion dollar market is desperate for a new true AGPL LMS.

And it is time for one to disrupt the market.

2. Good Question.

3. Flexibility in grading and marks is really, really, really important. Because the systems, curriculum, standards are not flexible. Even with a University or College, different programs have different grading standards. It is not an option not to support the different types of grading unless the education system itself changes. If you can't support the diversity out there, you quickly risk becoming obsolete even before you start.

Yep, it is LTI time now. Not SCORM or even xAPI, TinCan, etc.
I am awful at it too. Activities and hobbies are the way to meet people if don’t like socializing at bars or parties. You have a common interest to talk about, you are doing something together, and you may see them again at another event. Finally, you can connect with them outside the activity. This is where I fall down.
A switch or case statement is a restricted form of pattern matching for simple values. It fits those use cases, which are frequent.

I use a language that has both pattern matching and case constructs. I use both.

If you're doing complex pattern matching all over the place (especially matching the same sets of cases repeatedly in multiple locations in the code), maybe your design sucks. It's not making effective use of OOP or some other applicable organizational principle.

There’s really no need to be embarrassed; we do a really poor job of teaching people these things.

Actually technically those issues could be addressed using encryption.

Use a threshold scheme to share the warrant key among multiple independent share holders. Use enough share holders and a high enough threshold to make the odds of enough share holders going rogue or being corrupted to reveal the warrant key lower than the odds that someone will brute force the key.

In the limit you could make everyone in the country a share holder and require a large supermajority for key recovery.

> I get 10MBPs (megabytes) down reliably from Steam

Ahhh, that's interesting. Personally, I've relocated to Brisbane recently and the NBN connections up here go to 1Gb/s (!). I'm on a 400Mbps plan, with downloads of .isos from mirrors (etc) routinely being 40-50MB/s.

But the fastest downloads from Steam (using Brisbane download server) are 5-6MB/s, which really sucks. :( :(

Because the attacker can simply request new keys. There’s nothing stopping them from going “hey LE, I need a new key! This is my domain, here is the challenge, give me my cert!” And LE will oblige, because as far as it can tell, they are you.

Edit: To be clear, this is a problem with a solution. But you asked why simply throwing a LE cert into the mix wouldn’t prevent the issue.
This cuts both ways: if your on-premise system is using the same components as someone else you might be unpatched for longer than a responsible cloud service (c.f. Cisco customers currently for multiple product lines, F5, Atlassian, etc.). The challenge is accurately assessing whether your IT department is better or worse than a given cloud service. In both cases, I think more regulation is essential – companies shirk on things like ops staffing because it’s cheaper and that could change.

> I mean, in theory all the works on Z Library are in there, somewhere...

Interesting to consider works excluded from the Library of Babel. Books aren't just a vector of EBDIC characters and whitespace. There are figures, captions, indices, tables, blurbs, notes, frontmater like publishing history, title pages, dedications, lists of figures, and backmatter like appendices, glossaries, epilogues, afterwords. In between the can be chapter, sections, free verse, lyrics, typographic art, and even art reproductions on archival paper pasted in with mucilage that long since lost it's stick. Some pages me even be left blank intentionally, due to oversight, or driven by malignant spirits.

Now if the Library of Babel were written using SGML... you'd have two problems.
> The authors claim that modern 15th century people already knew the "pre-historic" narrative about rocks being axes.

I read the paper. I found no such claim - please cite.

> The authors state in their abstract this is their goal, to push back the evidence of such a "social history", to a time before archeologists made up the narrative about hand-axes. The authors are literally attempting to incept the archeological claim to a prior age of modern history. Is that what you mean, because that is definitely and literally the motive of this research.

They literally do not do so.

They claim that the stones we call handaxes were considered a separate type of rock. Then they discuss various conceptualizations of that rock at the time. They claim that one person thought it was interesting that category of stone including handaxes bore a resemblence to arrowheads from the new world, but his work wasn't published until 1717 (long after that person's death).

You seem mad at archaelogists for claiming things like "these handaxes are old" in general, and specifically at these guys for pointing out historical descriptions of things that sound like handaxes, and paintings that look a lot like handaxes. They literally (using a dictionary definition of the word - in this case the factual definition) state in their paper:

"In the knowledge that works of art are not exact transcripts of reality, it would be difficult, if not impossible, conclusively to identify whether a handaxe is represented in this fifteenth-century painting. We can, however, potentially strengthen the inference that a handaxe is depicted through three artefact-based routes of inquiry."

I'm not sure what you're going on about, your claims seem false upon reading the paper.
If you're looking for a serious answer, not everyone has the extreme privilege of being as in demand and finding another job quickly, particularly in this economy. People may also have financial situations where they need to hold on to whatever hope they can of a job because it is less scary than taking the money and then taking the leap.

I generally agree a company who has pipped you is effectively saying they want you gone outside of rare companies and circumstances. But don't presume that everyone's circumstances are your own.
Thanks for the balanced perspective!
Europeans might see their own governments as representation, but I don't think they view the EU as representing them. I've met a lot of people who think those guys in Brussels don't give a damn about us here, wherever that "here" might be. The sentiment seems similar to what people in the USSR thought of Moscow.

I think part of the problem is that the EU can't work in the same way the US federal government does or ever did. Culturally the countries are too dissimilar. There are many friction points that make a closer union very difficult to swing without trying to pull a fast one over the population (like they did with the vote over the EU constitution).

One friction point is the "liking of regulations" you mention. Some European countries seem to like that but others don't. People absolutely laugh at the ridiculous German bureaucracy, how dated the way is that the French run things (cheques!!!) or how naive the Swedes are. And they usually do not want that in their own country.
I’m guessing they mean the lack of manual import/use statements. Tends to annoy folk coming from other languages

Meta has a very clear anti-Palestinian bias in its moderation and "de-boosting"/"shadow-banning". This is well documented.

On the other hand, if you want to hear from actual people in Gaza and the West Bank, TikTok does not censor or deboost them (unless it involves actual calls to violence which is a very small % of content from Palestinians).
Honestly if you are a CEO and you are overstaffed why wouldn’t you entertain something like this? Do you really want employees that are willfully insubordinate and disregard company policy?
