While formally you are correct and Russian law makes distinction between terrorism and extremism, it is wrong to equate it to the Western legal framework. Yes, at the very abstract level both Russia and Western countries have a legal system based on some formal procedure. That’s also where the commonality ends. The laws used to incarcerate Navalny and condemn his organization were either unconstitutional or applied in an unconstitutional way. One unlawful decision does not make subsequent decisions based on it lawful, it just makes them look like ones. Independent court could have found that FBK is a legal organization and thus his lawyers did not actually break the law and we should not have spoken about „consequences“.
> interfaces are mostly equivalent to… structs of function pointers

This is an interesting discussion point. Some colleagues at a previous workplace actually used such structs with function fields (in Go they're not designated "function pointers") and ended up with what I called "poor man's interfaces". They're awkward to use, though in some ways they're more flexible, as you can mix and match implementations by changing any of the function fields.

However, interfaces are much smaller: only two words. Imagine if you had a 20-method function-struct and then a slice of 1000 of those. With interfaces, that would be 2000 words, with functions-structs it'd be 10x that big. (I suspect interface methods are faster to call, too.) So apart from interfaces having more first-class language support, I suspect performance is one of the reasons they weren't done this way.
There are still processes that benefit greatly from cpu advances. Something like compiling code, for instance. But even if this were the case, high end cpus like these can now be used with several gpus where a lesser cpu might be able to only feed n-1 gpus. Density is pretty important in data centers and elsewhere. Think ML researcher with 4 big gpus in their desktop
Apple needs to start polishing their UI again all the way from the start.

Lol we really aren't as unique as we think, are we? I had the inverse experience.

After a few years living in the NL I was travelling home via London. I'd come to love vegan food while living here and expected London would be beyond my wildest dreams for choices, being so big and so diverse.

Imagine my dissappointment when I went to the shop and the closest thing to a vegan option I could find was a cheese and egg sandwich!

But I think you have it backwards: public infrastructure exists to make it easy for industry to thrive, to create low-friction business environments. We like industry, and we want more of it. The US benefits from AI companies headquartering in its borders far more than the AI companies benefit from "freeloading" off of arxiv.org server costs.

And let's not lose perspective: the stuff posted on arxiv.org is collectively like a million times more valuable than the servers themselves.
Yeah, do not touch my phone and do not install apps on it.
asciidoc is my favourite too, thanks to Asciidoctor. I agree, asciidoc hits the sweet spots as a format. Been frustrated by the tooling lately though. I can see the huge effort put into Asciidoctor, and am thankful for it, but there are still big downsides i.e. no semantic html 5 output, difficult (or at least more difficult than necessary) integration with image generators, heavyweight (only ruby dependency on my entire machine). I imagine this just needs more time and resources put to it, as all these issues (except the ruby one) are open on GitHub.
I use both Slack and Discord webapps in the according profile, why not use that? They already run in sandboxed browser instances (I guess), so there's even less overhead running them in your browser. (I did not do extensive testing, so I might be wrong here)
The aforementioned Lessons of Darkness is obligatory, but as I said, it is less a documentary than a kind of audiovisual poem. The footage is incredible [1].

Of his "straight" documentaries, Encounters at the End of the World is great. It's a film about the people who live at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. Like his other biographical documentaries, it mixes quirky people and humour with brutally realist view of the world, all to great photography and music.

The Fire Within [3], his 2022 documentary on the popular volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft, is wonderful. It's a superior companion piece to his earlier films about volcanos (Herzog really likes volcanoes), Into the Inferno and La Soufriere.

Of his fiction films, you can't avoid Aguirre, Wrath of God or Fitzcarraldo. But a personal favourite of mine among his 1970s films is Heart of Glass [4], a quirky and beautiful retelling of a Bavarian folk tale, set in the 1700s.

As a follow European, having lived in several countries east-to-central-to-west, I concur.

Where did this myth that European healthcare is some sort of panacea originate?

Maybe from far away, if you squint really hard, through ideology-tinted lenses?

Or some viral study referring to 1990s Sweden?

You want to avoid the public healthcare system like the plague. GPs, dentists, specialists, palliative care… always look for the "private" option first. I scare-quote "private" because the industry is heavily regulated so that even private care must be half-public, in order to operate legally.

The resulting public system is depersonalized, bureaucratic, uncaring, underfunded (inevitable corruption and inefficiency of mind-boggling proportions rather than lack of funds as such). The system survives through heroic efforts of overworked & abused "public" doctors and nurses.

In my home EU country (CZ) the medical staff are either revolting [0] or resolving to good old bribery to restore the market conditions [1].

And CZ is just middle of the pack: most European countries have it worse, according to the Euro Health Consumer Index [2].

I remember watching a documentary about Navalny (was it on Netflix?). The positive thing is that he is against Putin. The negative thing (imho) is that he is a 'fake' person, proper salesman, tells you what YOU want to hear/what sells and not his original ideas. He changed ideas and opinions too much, too fast in the past. He started out making crappy videos on YT about various topics. If he wouldn't oppose Putin he would be a very low-yield <insert name of some youtube comentator-troll>.
Predicted? I doubt anything has changed since his time.

The mathematical principles of accounting are explained in an innovative way here [1],[2]. Also look for the book "Algebraic Models for Accounting Systems".

Skipping mathematical formulations and going directly for a "computer science" view is not always the right path.

Unfortunately, while these references are illuminating (NB: there is an entire niche of mathematical accounting literature) after you dig into them and get the gist of it you'll realize that what is missing is a standardized textbook treatment of the special vector spaces that define accounting. This is no accident. Accounting is one of these Kafkaesque closed professions that thrive on obscurity.

I find this kind of sentiment a little vacuous. Charitably, we might say "Much of the non-human life on Earth will be just fine without humans" but the kinds of ecological disaster that would wipe us would would take a significant chunk of other life along with it. Beyond that, what value is a floating chunk of rock except for the very fact it sustains conscious life, the only thing capable of valuing it? Humans, and other forms of life, are pretty much entirely what makes Earth worth caring about at all.
Thankfully fewer and fewer of us are regularly facing starvation. Yay for choice and luxury!

I loved OS/2 so much.

Used it a lot in my home PC and it was better at running Windows and DOS apps than Windows. Loved the theme of Merlin (v4.0) with its WarpSans font, the window decorations and coloured tabs! Looked so futuristic.

The regime exists only because the people believe in the regime.
If the people armed themselves and coordinated, they would outnumber policemen and soldiers.

This is true in China, but it's true everywhere else.
It's true in the west. If people stop complying we would get way more power and overall reduce inequality between the few rich and powerful and politically connect and you everyday Joe.

For the same principle, Russia could never control Ukraine without support, the romans couldn't control their provinces without local approval.
In Portugal, you can get fish soups and açorda variations (a kind of breadcrumbs soaked in broth and seasoned with olive oil and garlic) based dishes, with seaweeds.
deadpixi's sam port[1] includes a "ssam" command, but it's just a shell-script that writes standard input to a temporary file, launches sam to run commands, then copies the temporary file to standard output - it's not really a "stream".

"Plan 9 from User Space" has its own ssam command, whose implementation is basically the same, except as an rc script instead of a shell script.

I don't know if there's an actually-streaming sam implementation anywhere.

Nah. Highly political and corrupt system did. Lets not lie about this. Nothing to do with breaking the law. Everything to do with being vocal opposition.
Basically a rounding error.
> No, leisure is the normal good. And so is safe food and clean air etc.

You got what I meant unless you're being obtuse. The point remains that the demand preceded the financial ability to bargain for it. It was independent of income.

> How do 'see' direct causal links?

By looking at when employers offered concessions in order to end strikes etc. Now you are being obtuse. Go back and look at newspaper archives from major labour conflicts and the concessions negotiated with the union actions as the direct and immediate reason cited by employers themselves, even at times after having spent fortunes on people like Pinkerton to try to intimidate and harm workers to get them back to work first.

> If income levels explain all the variation between countries, and levels of union activism are just noise, I am not sure why you need to appeal to union activism as a cause?

I've seen no evidence that they explain all the variation. I've agreed they likely correlate with much of it. Now consider that income-differences do not just magically spring into existence either, and while there are certainly multiple factors again we have extensive examples of direct cause and effect in terms of negotiation and subsequent agreements.

> A parasite should be careful not to kill the host.

The alternative is to... not have errors I suppose. It does sound like the function you're describing is your core business logic, e.g. load from db, transform data, send somewhere else, etc, each of which CAN go wrong.

One thing you can do is go to the Go slack space at https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org/ and ask for a review in the #reviews channel; 20 error checks is a lot.
They appear to use this library: https://developers.google.com/blockly/
I completely agree. You want to be able to be fast and correct, where correct also depends on some assumptions you can make depending on what you apply your algorithm to. That's why I think a theorem prover kernel is needed, which connects the various algorithms, and the theory behind them that is needed to prove correctness. Until you get there, you will have various different algorithms that don't really fit together, and where it is not clear how to make them work together and still be confident about the result.
i tried da bomb and last dab. it's amazing how da bomb tastes weirdly chemical while the last dab was quite tasteful (until the heat hit, then it was pain).
It's not - we're mostly better than China but the crimes our governments commit against us are of the same type.

They steal our freedom and profits via taxes.
Taxes in China are not even that high for european standard, but they do infringe more on their citizens liberty.

On the other side, western societies are doing more of that too, between covid, gdpr, and the incoming cyber resiliance act
A lot of the requirements that come with typical frameworks and their usage are often installed via shell script due to the complexity of installing and configuring them, which I know from my own ebpf stuff is the reason they probably had to ship it with a bash/shell script.

I specifically chose golang because it allows me to abstract away that, and I can tell my customers just to download the binary from xyz.url and then execute "sudo binary install" while it does the rest, with zero dependencies.

Doing that in say, rust or C++ might be possible but often is not trivial when you take a closer look at what library needs what other linked library. Including the "internet of headers" usually explodes in size of the binary and is very hard to manage, strip out, update and keep up with upstream.

I think that is also why I prefer CGo over other FFI-based bindings or the Rust binding ecosystem. Purego is just way easier to use than anything else in practice.

But yeah, that's just my two cents. Nobody that uses Rust seems to care about "installation experience" these days. But if you tell your customers to install an SDK first, they likely gonna nope out of your product before they even tried it out.
Pathetically dishonest pivot.
I mean, yeah that can happen if the functions you call can error, but this would also happen in any other language. It's just that it's often hidden in the form of unchecked exceptions, or all handled at once in catch-all blocks. Errors don't go away if you use a different language.

> Proposing the motion at this week's meeting, Dr Marks said: "I'm no expert on HR software, but I do know that manually copying and pasting from seven different Excel sheets, all laid out in different ways, is bound to go wrong one day. So who set up the system? Who set up the QA processes and the staff training?"

This sounds pretty standard to me. Spreadsheet stacks are actually effective - and often robust if the Copy Paste technician has a little bit of nous. I don't think it makes sense to get the individual involved in trouble, but it isn't intellectually honest to pretend this is that strange or unreasonable. Offices are full of people who make things work in inefficient ways. Such is life. Improve the system if it fails, but there isn't any call to act surprised that the process is awkward.

I expect there is a lot of politics at play here.
That's a brilliant idea, I'll definitely look for those, thank you.

I know what you mean about the dancing too. I play traditional music from Ireland and we have a regular folk dance evening here in Rotterdam. It's always a pity that we have to look so far afield for the music and the steps.

From what I've heard there's a perception in Dutch society that folk dance would be mainly associated with the far right. Do you recognise that? Always surprises me because at home the traditional music is very much anti colonial.

Whatever Kasparov says or does in exile is quite irrelevant in Russia. This is how actual Russians think:

"He's not even in Russia, what does he know."

I don't know why Navalny returned to Russia after being poisoned and nearly killed by Putin's thugs, but it was a very brave thing to do. It makes no sense.
He was hoping to get elected. You need to have broad popular support to get elected (see Trump), hence the "views".

Some time later it became apparent that he is not going to be elected and elections will not be the thing, so the new plan was getting paid by State Dept NGOs, with corresponding change to "views".

My personal take on Navalny is that he mostly was a charismatic opportunist, but eventually that lured him in a trap.
Wow. Straight up theft by the people meant to "protect and serve". And people really wonder why I'm a Libertarian.

Why? Because all typical, existing applications written for POSIX systems use the POSIX API (usually indirectly) to interact with the filesystem and perform IO. Being able to use that vast ecosystem of existing applications seamlessly with object storage is such a common requirement that a good dozen different object storage-to-POSIX abstraction layers exist (many of them on top of FUSE).

Even if you build your scalable production environment from scratch with native object storage support (which is rare!), it’s eminently useful to be able to use coreutils to interact with said object storage for devops: nothing beats e.g. running grep on a list of log “files” in an S3 bucket in terms of convenience.

Inequality would be even worse and upward mobility would be reduced, at least in the west.
For me, the logic went as follows:

The elderly, the sickly, and the obese were the most at risk.

Being young and healthy, the risk to me was negligible.

The covid vaccines did not prevent transmission, so getting jabbed would not help eradicate the virus.

Because of the limited benefits the vaccine would provide to me and its non-sterilizing nature, I decided not to get vaccinated against covid.

In the end I got covid, was sick as a dog for a few days, then I was fine. I'm happy with my decision. But I would never suggest to anyone who got the covid vaccine that they made the wrong decision, it's an individual choice to make.
