As I said, I think you're naive to think that there is actually a member of the Pirate Library Mirror (PiLiMi) team (the team behind Anna's archive) named Anna. They know what is at stake, so they wouldn't risk sharing personal information.
Enums, Option and Result types, absence of null, not to mention that the type system, borrow checker, and static everything by default, rewards encoding application state and state transitions using all these mechanics, such that they can be verified at compile time. I'd say the language does quite a lot to address logic bugs as well as memory safety. It can't protect a determined developer from themselves, but it provides incredibly useful tools to anyone who can work out how to use them.
That heavily depends on the GPU being used and whether or not it has hardware support for your codec. Maybe your GPU is just old/weak compared to your CPU?

> The government turned a blind eye to that [and this was bad]

> I do not believe that one person has the right, or should have the power, to force their opinions, views, or ideas on another person.

look like a contradiction.

Is the your objection the narrow only one person should not have power over the opinions of others, but two or more are fine? If even many people should not have power over the opinion of others, how could the government "turn a blind eye"? Shouldn't it be "correctly stayed out of it"?
How do you keep something like this from spreading and deteriorating plastics in things you don't want it to?
With possibly the exception of Typescript, I agree. Practically all the tools commonly being thrown at JavaScript today are destroying the developer experience and causing more problems that begat even more tools. It's easier than ever to use plain JavaScript in ways that use proper scoping, but so many developers today speak as if this is impossible ("it just doesn't scale bruh"). That's how you know you're talking to someone who didn't write software before ~2011. It's fine if someone prefers to use said tools, but the idea that more tools are are necessary is an example of poor engineering.

That does not help with counterfeits. We need an easy way to check the cable instead. Best would be if you can plug both ends into computer and the controller measures resistance (charging capability) and data bandwidth.

Or at least some standalone tester, shouldn't be hard to build , dunno about the bandwidth part.

That depends on the CLA's wording. A CLA could allow the right to sell commercial licenses to the code while always keeping the same code under the AGPLv3.

I haven't read Element's CLA though.
Each coffee brand offers their own unique flavors, just as each tire manufacturer has their own trade offs, and each car … However, subtle flavor profile or minor product features isn’t enough to be considered a distinct market.

The simple fact that people swap between Android phones and Apple phones without buying both means they are in completion. Making cellphone (edit: operating systems) a duopoly not a monopoly.

Markets aren’t quite arbitrary but they are subject to debate. Someone considering buying a new 911 likely isn’t going to consider buying a base model Honda Civic as an equivalent good but a Lotus Emira might qualify.
Ugh. Those bad early days of WoW where every quest description had to slowly appear on the screen.
They want to sell sources with alternative license, it's part of their business plan, so CLA is unavoidable.

One thing I've never been able to work out is, if this model were true, how would we ever hear about it? Why would Random House publish the book by Herman and Chomsky? Why would Al Jazeera produce this video and why would YouTube host it? These are all large media companies.

edit: I hope this question doesn't come across as petty or rude. I am a fan of Chomsky and intrigued by his thoughts on society. It's an honest question that I really have a hard time getting past.
This is something I've been thinking about: What kind of compute would it take to train an LLLM on let's say a torrent with 100GB of books from Anna's Archive?
I have to say I'm excited to see what the Swift embedded subset turns out like, if it gets any hardware support for chips I write code for (mostly stm32 so that seems pretty likely since they're so popular). It looks like a nicer developer experience than what I've seen from Rust, but this is coming from somebody who mostly codes C.
We need to fix the version naming first. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 is such a silly name.
1. Does all of this just rely on surveys instead of real data?
2. Investing for old age retirement is seen a necessity, since many people in my generation (Germany, 1989) don't believe they'll get pensions above what everyone gets as social safety net anyway.
3. Since nothing relies on actual numbers, it's hard to tell whether GenZ is just more savings-conscious, as compared to really saving more. A boomer that bought a house on credit in the 70s invested more than a comparable GenZ who invests in an ETF what little money they have left after paying rent.
4. With most GenZ working safe desk jobs - which goes easy on their health and is also easier to do in old age - I doubt they will have to retire as early (let alone even earlier!) as the generations before them.

It's at the discretion of the package maintainer, but it's pretty common. Just look at the `Formula.rb` for any standalone app in Python or Lua. Example: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/66c42fbd814b3...

I think using per-project venv is still the sensible thing to do, not just in Python but using the equivalent in Lua (hererocks), Ruby (Bundler), etc.

This is for system-wide installations of standalone CLI tools and other "apps".

However if you do find something on PyPI that is a standalone app, but isn't in Homebrew, you can create an isolated env for it automatically using Pipx https://pypa.github.io/pipx/.

Perhaps, but if the goal is security of a critical tool, losing some attack surface (features) if they aren’t widely used is a win. Other projects, like ntpsec[0] have taken this approach with good results. Although, I agree with another commenter in this thread[1] that this effort would have been better directed at something with an inherently small attack surface like doas.

Absolutely. Most programs should be written in a safe language, but that doesn’t mean Rust. Most programs should be written in a garbage–collected language like Javascript or Python or Lisp precisely because those languages make developers faster and more efficient.

Rust is only appropriate for programs that are too expensive to run when they are written in a garbage–collected language. That means operating systems, because small inefficiencies there will add costs for billions of people. It means big server–side services, where small inefficiencies cost you millions in compute time or ram usage or whatever.

Even if you think you’re going to hit that scale one day, writing your prototype in a garbage–collected language can net you a huge advantage in time saved. You can rewrite it in Rust later, after you know exactly what features will be needed and exactly what they cost to run, and exactly how much you’ll save by rewriting it in Rust.

After October 7th I was shocked and disappointed to find that my lead investor is on Twitter openly advocating a genocide of Palestinians, casting doubt on the number of Palestinian civilians killed and generally attacking and gaslighting everyone who's not enthusiastically looking to destroy Gaza and the West Bank.

I'm horrified, I'm worried that they're going to cause massive damage to the brand of my company and I feel terrible that the company I built is now part of a message I find truly vile.

As a founder what can I do? Most of the VC industry seems to be on the wrong side of this issue so it feels like speaking up will lead to a blacklisting (c.f. what happened to Paul Graham when he simply posted the number of dead civilians on both sides).

If it were mandated, I guarantee that every damn cable would have "10GB/3.1" on them, except, maybe the big manufacturers, with large US presence.

I wouldn't mind a good tester, but the ones that can test for that kind of thing are quite pricey.
Ideally you'd want to measure actual rather than reported charging capacity. For about $15 you can get a USB load generator and a USB current monitor on AliExpress.

Coherent was quite impressive for the early 90's! It had some limitations though, the major one being no networking built in. I remember using a 3rd party app (KA9Q, I think?) to give me "user level" networking so I could connect to another system over SLIP. I had an early home network built out of serial cables.

Once Linux stabilized, the writing was on the wall...
I like the fact that you said “I can’t say this would have been true ~5 years ago”.

React et al. exist because there weren’t global standards around these things and composability suffered. Now that we are all playing the same chorus, these frameworks provide little more than component libraries to reuse. This can be done with ES modules. JSX is why most React folks stick with React, not knowing they can use Preact or just NakedJSX if they wish.

I just wanted to verbally concur that vanilla JS is more than capable of doing everything you need. Custom tags. Shadow dom. Composed UI. etc. if you are ok with returning HTMLElement vs a JSX closure.
Because the long tail of features is useful to someone. Mind, I like doas for this reason, but having the more feature rich option available makes sense.

If we assume they have three million now, in 40 years when they have 20 years of retirement left, assuming it sees a 5% annual rate of return, they will have $21 million.

> That's not particularly gnarly rust. It's just chained method calls like in many other languages.

That was my thought as well, as someone who is not Rust heavy (though I do small projects with it now and then), I get some of what's going on, and I've done a little bit of embedded, I could be misremembering but I don't remember it feeling this confusing or intimidating and that was using C, which to newcomers can be both.

I'm really confused by this method chaining, I would argue its too confusing and breaking it up with comments might be best for newcomers.
Absolutely, need we not mention when maps mention something like Terra Australis which clearly denote a continent that hasn't been discovered by historians then it must clearly be a moral fable. May we trust in the dogma of the great interpreters of history.

Example of the beautiful wash of mind (see talk page):

> Terra Australis is a legendary/theoretical continent, not based on sightings of the real Antarctica

Ah, such conviction for someone to have of a past that they never directly experienced. It's remarkable! Especially when the map is the same size of the object it represents. Lest you not think in haste, it is certainly not that which it is.

I think you're right that there is definitional question here. I think it's right to state that adults are responsible because children are physiologically incapable of taking responsibility for themselves. I think it's right to observe that harm has been done when harm has in fact been done.

The question of "guilt" or "judgement" is more complicated, as you say. Where many people go wrong is that they automatically jump from harm + responsibility towards guilt. That's how you end up with articles like these where the author feels like he has to choose between anger towards his teachers and thanking them because they tried their best. That's a false dichotomy if I have ever seen one.

A teacher who traumatizes a child isn't that different from a surgeon who botches a surgery. It doesn't mean the surgeon is a terrible person but neither does it mean you have to be thankful to the surgeon because he tried and because he operated successfully on other people.
Does he every imply that the filters are 100% airtight?
Can you drill down a bit more into this? I would consider static linking to be including unmodified ffmpeg with my application bundle and calling it from my code (either as a pre-built binary from ffmpeg official or compiled by us for whatever reason, and called either via a code interface or from a child process using a command line interface). Seems bsenftner's comment roughly confirms this, tho their original comment does make the distinction between the two modes.

It requires all users, whether corporate or not, to release all changes under AGPLv3... the whole point of the Matrix protocol is to talk to other users... so basically everyone triggers the AGPLv3s "network" clause. However, releaseing your code under the AGPLv3 is not the same as upstreaming it. In order to do that, you additionaly have to sign a CLA granting the Element corporation broad and expansive rights to do whatever they please with your code... but you don't get the same rights to their code.
I read FIRE subreddits a lot and see a little too much optimism and unreasonable expectations. They are ready to retire with just another decade of incredible stock market returns. It’s rarely that easy. All signs point to another lost decade coming, like after 1968 and 2000, that is going to break a lot of hearts I’m afraid. Unless they plan for it appropriately and have reasonable expectations.

There are different forms, but isn't the main one just that you can only prove the existence of your own mind? If there is a reality beyond your senses that you cannot interact with, does it matter to you?

A brain in a vat hallucinating a universe, is the same thing as just hallucinating a universe with no further reality, is the same thing as being in a particularly vivid dream, is the same a being a simulation.

The idea that a brain must exist somewhere in a vat to present this reality to you, came from your mind. If some of the rules of your reality are entirely disconnected with your senses, why not all?
> They need a theory to explain why their radicalism isnt popular

Actually what Chomsky notes is how the idea of "radical" laws such as that a person can't be kicked off their health plan if they develop cancer are not unpopular, but wildly popular with the public in polls. Nonetheless in the decades prior to Obamacare, despite its popularity, due to institutional reasons it did not become law.

> the existence of Trump in the first place: his base chose him

Chomsky said early on Trump support came mostly from the base, and the power structure did not want him.

You're knocking down a straw man - inventing things Chomsky did not say, attributing them to him, then condemning him for words you put in his mouth, when he often said the opposite.
HDMI cables too!

As a techie who understands that there are many different types of USB-C and HDMI cables depending on what you need to use it for, it's an incredible amount of effort to find the right thing to buy.

When you consider that most brick and mortar stores (I'm looking at you, Currys PC World) massively rip you off with £100+ gold plated HDMI cables, and the search results on Amazon are filled with knock-off Nigel rubbish (or worse, listings that out-right lie to you)... it's a total minefield!
