> Michael O’Flaherty, the director of the bloc’s agency for fundamental rights, said it was worrying that only a third of the general population considered antisemitism a big problem, when there was no doubt “dramatic moments in our societies trigger antisemitic responses”.

> He told the Guardian: “It happened with Covid, it’s happening now with the Russian aggression [in Ukraine] – and now it’s happening again. Media and civil society organisations warn of a rise of antisemitism as the crisis in the Middle East unfolds.

I wonder what Covid and Ukraine have to do with antisemitism. The article does not elaborate on that.
You're more likely going to be required to keep that information for a period of time for audit purposes, or to be able to justify a credit card charge in case there is a claim of fraud, etc.
If they could check the backups for evidence of an intrusion, they would be able to check production for evidence of an intrusion.
I like the logical leaps people are making where we develop something smarter than us overnight and then, without further explanation, simply and suddenly lose all of our freedoms and/or lives.

I think the more probable outcome is corp-owned robot slaves. That's the future we're more likely headed towards.

Nobody is going to give these machines access to the nuclear launch codes, air traffic control network, or power grid. And if they "get out", we'll have monitoring to detect it, contain them, then shut them down.

We'll endlessly lobotomize these things.
I find this hard to believe.

> cd command implementation does not change.

I'm pretty sure the cd implementation needs to interface with different file systems. Those interfaces change or at least new interfaces appear when new file systems emerge.

> The word processor does exactly what it needs to.

What we use a word processor for, changes over time. Does the print function still work for my inkjet printer, in A4 format? Can I write emails with it, why should I even use the word processor if my email client has an embedded word processor? Can I embed images, only TIFF maybe?

Unfortunately there is no such thing as forever software, unless you don't change the circumstances in which it is used, which is very unlikely.
The words "briefly" or "without explanation" work well.

By keeping the prompt short, it starts generating output quicker too.
Raspberry Pi Smart Vertical Farming Takes Veggies to New Heights
I use Debian's Firefox ESR, and for at least five major (ESR) versions there's been a bug where sometimes if multiple tabs try to do a web push notification at once, the entire browser process hangs maxing out a core and nothing I do will recover from that. (I use X11 with PulseAudio.) One of these days, I'll get around to reliably reproducing it. (I haven't tried `pulseaudio -k`, which might fix it if it's an issue playing the sound: videos hang kinda like that, though more recoverably, if the sound isn't working right.)
So you have professional set with high tech tools like cranes, gimbals, LED panels... And shoot on iPhone.

> We're hundreds of years away from the logistics of transporting thousands of humans to Mars being a practical consideration.

With decades of experience with the ISS and Starship's first orbital flight on the docket, why would this be hundreds of years away? Consider the technical progress we've made in launch vehicles in the last 15 years alone. Are there really any technical problems on the path to a mars cycler that could give us centuries worth of trouble? Or are you simply suggesting that the demand won't be there?

This aspect is so different from South and East Asian society. We expect little from the teachers (not to say they’re bad), the majority of the onus and blame lies with the parent.
> If that means fewer/smaller startups, small businesses? Ultimately, so be it.

Think this through. What happens? What happens, when it's harder and harder to build and scale small businesses? You only have big players owning everything. I am struggling with that every week here in the EU and I'm very glad I don't produce anything, as it would be even harder. So this is a fine line, where we should be cautious of both extremes. There's a word for big enterprises calling for regulation to prevent competition and hinder small companies.
I’ve never even seen a Chromebook in real life here in Australia. I’m sure they must exist but I’ve never heard of anyone using one.
I was in a home-school coop about 25 years ago. We attended it a few times, until we stopped going. I was just a kid so I have no idea why we stopped. I remember it didn't help. I didn't know how to do any of the homework they assigned so I never did any (a practice that carried into high school). Since I never had tests or grades of any sort it didn't really matter.
People just assume that other people must be abusing their kids. Sheesh. The commenter is describing a two-parent household with 8 children and a massive backyard -- the odds are that they're extremely happy and our commenter is just a grouch.
I expected home schooling to take off in popularity once school shootings became normalized and schools responded by increasingly resembling prisons.
I would guess it’s 90% parenting and 10% school.

If you search niche.com, you can see proficiency scores correlate exactly with household income. Same school systems, same new facilities, same teacher compensation, same class sizes.

I guess it depends on how you measure it. If we go by percent of kids meeting the standards and a passing grade being 70%, you could justifiable say the schools are horrible on average.

The bcachefs architecture overview is here: https://bcachefs.org/Architecture/

The claim for reliability comes from the idea that bcache has been in heavy production use for a decade, and considered rock solid with plenty of testing of corner cases, and that bcachefs builds a filesystem over the bcache block store so that most of the hard things (like locking and such) are managed by the underlying block store, not the bcachefs layer. This way, the filesystem code itself is simple and easy to understand.
> So many sites use bad JavaScript and that’s often what causes the problems

Then Firefox needs to handle that better. As an end user, I don't care about the quality of the JS of the sites I want to browse - I just want it to work, and if it works in Chrome but not Firefox then I guess I'll switch to Chrome.
> No, instead you get to deal with absurdly slow dependency solving / installation

NPM is definitely faster than pip to install things. Not sure what you're talking about here.

> I know for a fact that both npm and yarn are extremely popular

The point is they both work. Nobody is going to say "you picked the wrong package manager out of these 8 options". There's an obvious option and a slightly less obvious option and they both work properly.

> switch to modern solutions for this

What was I just saying about having to magically know the "right" way to do it? In any case I don't think either of those will solve the issue.

> Don't use Windows, obvs. Seriously though, I give absolutely zero fucks about development experience on Windows with Python.

Sounds like you give zero fucks about the Python development experience on Linux too, otherwise you wouldn't defend its obvious deficiencies.

This appears to be largely a COVID phenomenon. Lacking that forcing function, I doubt whether subsequent cohorts of parents will opt for that burden. The only thing that might push them to maintain the discipline of home schooling is the ideological capture of public schools, which leads to discrimination, unmonitored chaos and the long-term medicalization of students based on dumb ideas, the naming of which will would get this comment flagged.

This is a problem that human programmers screw up… regularly.

E.g.: the efficient and robust file change monitoring on Windows is to read the NTFS change journal. For a single process lifetime there are other change notification APIs as well. Most software does neither and is either very slow or misses changes…
I’m sure there are good public schools, but my experience and the experience of everyone I’ve ever known has not been positive. Combined with policies like California’s [1], I don’t think it’s unreasonable to just be skeptical of most American public education.

The reason why many homeschoolers opt out of public schools is because of those minimum standards. Who wants their children to be taught to a minimal standard? My autistic son would still be completely non-verbal (and probably worse) if we put him into the local public school system. We saw the classroom he would have been in, it was horrific. Instead, he has a speech language pathologist working with him one-on-one three to four hours per day.
The entire field of chip-layout is considered an NP-complete problem.

Any computer program trying to solve NP-complete problems is in the realm of what I call "1980s AI". Traveling salesman, knapsack, automated reasoning, verification, binary decision diagrams, etc. etc.

Its "AI", but its not machine learning or LLMs or whatever kids these days do with Stable Diffusion.

Are you trying to ask if bcachefs lets you set up stupid configurations? If you only have two devices and you configure it use replication to store two copies of all your data, then you are unavoidably constrained by the capacity of the smaller device. Whether the smaller device is a hard drive or SSD is irrelevant, because neither copy can be regarded as a discardable cache when they're both necessary to maintain the requested level of redundancy.

This is reductive and only true in a binary world. If I question some anti-terrorism approaches, does that make me pro-terrorism? Of course not, but one could dishonestly accuse another of that to silence them or derail the conversation (see The Dixie Chicks). The world is hardly ever black and white.
How do you see the relationship between war and legality?

The US acquired territory from Mexico as part of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, intended to end the Mexican-American war. Mexico lost 55% of its territory, but did receive $15M as some sort of compensation. Is that legal and if so in what sense, given that it was driven by a desire to end a war?

Much more recently, how about territory acquired by Russia in the vicinity of Ukraine. Suppose that the Crimeans truly did unanimously agree to this, would that make it legal? Is it legal if 50% of the residents agree? What about those with economic interests there who are not residents?

"Rise from fringe to fastest-growing" seems like a math misunderstanding. Something that's small has the largest possibility of growing rapidly, expressed as a percentage. https://xkcd.com/1102/

The article really doubles down on suspect use of numbers by talking about "[Hillsborough County, Fla] vote results have predicted the winner in 22 of the last 24 presidential elections. Now it is a harbinger of a different trend: the widespread adoption and acceptance of home schooling." Spurious election correlations make for bad articles.

Within that county since 2017 school enrollment has grown "3.4 percent, to 224,538 students." (about 7400 student increase), while homeschooling has grown 74%, up to 10,680 (growth of about 4500 students).
LOL, it’s not just for “public acceptance”. Look up Chain of Thought. Asking it to get to the point typically reduces the accuracy.

Historically, though, focusing on performance per watt is a technique that hardware companies use to distract from otherwise not very impressive concrete performance improvements. You'd expect a new process node and chip shrink to bring modest performance per watt improvements even with largely identical designs. When it comes to GPUs, this has been combined with actually increasing the power draw to make the generational performance improvement look more impressive; so technically, performance per watt would improve, but the footprint would still increase, and yet the performance improvement would still be rather lackluster for any given price bracket. (This especially because you're competing with last generation's current street prices and used prices: if I can get a used M2 machine that's competitive in performance to a new M3 machine in the same price bracket, it might be more worthwhile.)

That's not to say there's no value in focusing on energy efficiency, especially for laptop chips; Apple Silicon was leagues ahead in energy efficiency when it launched, even if the gap is a lot smaller with newer Ryzen mobile chipsets. And speaking of Ryzen, the 5950X is a paragon of performance-per-watt in a desktop chip, which is of course still just as great as it makes it easier to power, cool and overclock. It's more to say that a shift toward focusing on energy efficiency could signal that they may be hitting road blocks in unlocking substantial performance improvements through better chip design alone, which of course makes sense, as its not like you can just linearly come up with design improvements every year forever, and they already came out swinging with their first generation chips.
In the last five years, my experience with Firefox has always been far superior in terms of performance than when using Chrome. I just can't bring myself to justify using a Google product for something as important as browsing. I guess it's ideological, but I just want Firefox to succeed.
> I feel one of the reason why Lambda did not gain fast market traction is because all the initial tutorials focused on having an endpoint for each lambda

The statement implies the students being taught in schools today are learning at a level they should be. With all the exceptions made and dumbing down of curriculum, most classes teach to the least abled in the class holding back many.

That said, I don't think home schooling is an option for all either. Covid showed how difficult it could be for many families.

This is wild to me.

The token window is one of the limiting factors for having an AI that can actually remember you and past conversations. Having a large window is key for future AI applications that involve long running conversations (weeks, months, years). The tech is already very impressive, but imagine it as it becomes more like an actual pair programmer and remembers all the various things it's learned and worked on with you in the past.

This is valid but in both directions: people will say "Firefox is slow" because they don't have the time/interest to say "Firefox is slow on this specific webapp that is very important to me on my specific laptop". Of course the responses to the first statement are going to interpret it generally rather than specifically.
Sure, conventions that create shelling points to enable coordination on roads are the same as preventing dogs from running around in parks -- the things dogs want to do by nature, in the nature-based parts of cities.

Perhaps it's my inclination against speciesism, and my seeing people much closer to dogs than not -- but I think the regulation of the behaviour of animals, against their natures, is a moral matter.

A convention around how to drive isnt.

As far as STDs go, again: no idiotic blanket rules, indeed. Morality occurs in the negotiation between people in particular circumstances.

Sometimes not wearing a condom is exactly what one should do -- if one wishes, one's partner wishes, and one thinks that this sort of intimate sex is more interesting -- and a core part of a life worth living.

I fear greatly the life painted by how regulated people "ought" be in these trivial matters: how they walk their dogs, how they have sex, and so on. This is very far away from a life which any human animal ought live. It's a life full of petty regulations on behaviour to create the illusion of a safe world.

An illusion which comes at an extremely heavy price: that of enjoying life. A cost I do not want to pay.
Experimental Data Availability Sampling (15 years after Bitcoin)
The homeschooling crowd is so far up their own butts that they cannot accept homeschooling has horrific and hidden outcomes.

It's kind of the democracy versus authoritarianism debate. Authoritarians typically look really good on paper because they can conceal their mistakes, while the democracy bears all to the populace. And yea, there are some benevolent dictatorships with great outcomes, but I don't think that a single one of the homeschoolers would think that would be a valid point because it's also the exception.
When you’re writing graphics engines (at least from my experience in OpenGL) you tend to write the vertex and fragment shaders in different files and link them when you actually need to render something. That way you can use combinations of them. The vs or fs extension is used to understand which one it is at a glance.
