EU Commission FAQ (emphasis mine):

Recognition means that web browsers are required to ensure support and interoperability for the QWAC for the sole purpose of displaying identity data in a user-friendly manner. *Recognition of QWACs implies that browsers shouldn't question the origin, integrity or data in the certificate*.

However, the requirement to recognise QWACs does not affect browser security policies and leaves web browsers free to preserve their own procedures and criteria for encryption and authentication of *other certificates*.

The King has a lot to do with human rights issues - it is, after all, in his name that war crimes and other crimes against humanity committed by the state are kept in confidence, away from the publics' prying eyes.

It is because of The King that, for example, Australians are not allowed to investigate their military - a privilege only deigned to be granted by the Sovereign at his whim, and thus rarely if ever actually given.

>mostly peacefully

I beg to differ. Millions of human beings have suffered immense repression from this regime. You may not be one of them, and thus disinclined to observe it, but for those outside the empires citizenship boundaries, this has not been a peaceful situation by any stretch of the imagination.

What The King and his flunkies want to do to the people of the UK, they have been doing to the rest of their Empire for centuries...
If there are so few applicants to the positions you review, why is it so hard to read their CVs? It takes mere seconds to do a first pass.
I was going to ask if you could plausibly get R, G, and B components that were all numerically greater from a sample object that physically reflects less light of each color, using a real camera sensor and real firmware. It seemed to me that the comparison would at least be directionally correct, at least if the effect is in the same direction for every light frequency, even if it's meaningless in terms of any absolute scale.

Then I remembered that a friend told me just today that cameras have gotten so smart about color correction that they may automatically correct an unusual scene (like a sky illuminated weirdly by wildfire smoke) to something more familiar and expected.

So, maybe if a current smart camera thought that one of the objects was a specific kind of thing that "shouldn't" be a particular color, it could just totally replace the color with one it thought was more plausible!
You can observe without experimentation. This is how we initially found evidence for cigarette smoking causing cancer. And then there's stuff like math, philosophy (including logic), and afaik. major parts of astronomy, which are not experimental, and yet produce knowledge.

About "Principle of Least Astonishment": In theory, it is cool. In practice, it is often used by gate keepers to shutdown newbies. After seeing that behaviour too many times, I stopped using the term.

A nicer way to say it (from pair programming ethos): If someone asks you a question to clarify some code, then it needs a comment (or a re-write/re-factor). Note that I didn't say anything about the experience level of the asker.

One more thing: I've met (multiple) people who are firmly in the "Convention over configuration" camp and the "Principle of Least Astonishment" camp and cannot understand how new joiners are continuously surprised by this or that convention.

This author confuses me, they continually link out to articles that seem to be describing the exact opposite of what you'd assume from their links to them.

Is it intentional subversion (of the external link content, or the site she links from) or is she just randomly linking things? It's all very confusing.

Examples:

> Evidence of this shift in priorities is everywhere, but perhaps its starkest instance might be what’s sometimes denounced as a “woke takeover of science” — but which could just as accurately be described as the re-subordination of empiricism to moral doctrine.

That seems like a standard unherd take on woke science, yet the article linked to with the text "woke takeover of science" is in fact a strong attack on the Tory party using woke science as a bogeyman:

Headline: ‘Just desperate’: Tory pledge to ‘kick woke out of science’ put under the microscope

> Science Secretary Michelle Donelan has been slammed for “making things up and then rallying against it” after she pledged to kick woke ideology out of science.

https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/just-desperate-to...

or ...

> we’re losing the ability across the board to see the world in mechanistic terms: for example losing our ability to build or maintain complex systems, or even keep the roads repaired.

Seems, in context, like a standard complaint about potholes, kids today etc. but the link is pointing a finger directly at Tory government and has a lengthy takedown of Liz Truss's brief leadership, and a negative progrnosis for the (at the time) new Sunak regime:

> irresponsible government action has put the nation in an indefinite state of chaos that could ultimately bear disastrous consequences

In another article she seems to be literally claiming that satanists are encouraging abortion and sex changes but links to a guardian article explaining the satanic temple is political protest group and another article describing mad conspiracy theories as a new satanic panic.

I'm not sure I share quite the level of longing for mystery.

In the unknown grew the vile plant that is fear, and that in turn provided a fertile ground for human cruelty. Fear of change, of the other, of the different, of death and of the unknown. We haven't even managed to vanquish these demons yet, though great strides have been made.

I'll remind you that you can make magic today. You don't need mystery and fear. Go, surprise someone. Choose someone at random and create a magical moment. Delight them. Or baffle them. It takes less than you think. We all have that power.
Well, "they don't "have" to work on it, as was pointed out several times the SciPy devs are volunteers.

Local post office evolved in Ireland recently and started offering parcel boxes to be installed next to the door. There are 2 keys and one of them allows the post office worker to open the box and put the parcel in.

This obvs does not work for other delivery companies but now you can see an option in the order forms to allow the delivery company leave the package at the door (e.g. IKEA). Otherwise, it is just unthinkable that someone would leave the package at the door without ringing you and agreeing in advance.
It's super cool, but maybe not a great idea for safety? Like from some angles you might literally not be able to see it at night, even under streetlights or when illuminated by another car's headlights.

And also from some angles it might totally mess up depth perception, kind of like dazzle camouflage, so other drivers might not be able to avoid it as well as they could avoid a car painted in a color that gave better depth cues.

Maybe in a hypothetical future where you don't need human beings to be able to see and predict cars' position with their eyes? :-)

I cant stand the dumb shit Musk says and JR just letting it pass.

For example: This mind virus / philosophy Musks speaks of has zero substance, zero key concepts that Musks went after, when he bought twitter. He didnt even tie that virus to the SF area he introduces this topic with.

Heck, i could paint Musks bullshit as a mind virus here, which also indicates how shallow his dumb shit is.

Oddly enough, based on my limited research, OP’s personal preferences aren’t even an option these days.

In my limited research, I wasn’t able to find a new vehicle that didn’t include infotainment / advanced safety features, etc. I assume this is what the market desires but I personally would just like to have the option to buy a new car that has creature comforts limited to a basic radio, heating and AC. It was a bit mind boggling that the cheapest base model cars come with an 8” touch screen and all kinds of advanced safety features these days.

You seemingly can’t buy just a car these days, it has to be a car with everything added on (whether you want it or not). Kind of like televisions these days, you can’t buy a television that just has inputs, speakers and a tuner.

Again maybe this is what the market desires and I’m just an oddball outlier.?

If I need to calculate the approximate memory required for 42652 records of 46 bytes, I'd just multiply them? So that'd be 1961992 bytes, if I wanted to know how many kibibytes it was, I'd divide by 1024 and that'd be 1916, or roughly 1,9 mib ?

If I needed giant numbers and knew my result be in the gigabyte range, I'd just divide by 1024^3
Your sense of heat when touching things is mainly due to conduction, not radiation, isn't it?
I think that's a very important and true argument, and something I have thought about for a while.

The thing is that these places only have value if people put in an effort, which is more likely to be the case when the platform and/or technology is new and only known by people who a priori have put in an effort to access it at all. When you mostly accessed web sites from desktop computers, you would be limited to use online platforms in the relatively small time window where you had free time at home, so the personal cost of using the platform was higher because you had to choose to take that time from other tasks that also required your computer.

Now everyone have a smartphone in their pockets and can access any online service at any time of the day, so the required effort to use them is a small fraction of what it used to be. As a result, the average user is not motivated to actually put in any effort, and because of this the quality suffers tremendously.

Maybe we should raise that lower bound on effort by requiring users to solve CAPTPTYCs - Completely Automated Programs To Prove That You Care - before you were allowed to interact with anyone online. A sort of proof-of-work for people to ensure that they have spent at least as much time on the content as they have on solving the puzzle that allowed them to publicize it.

Lol, as a maintainer of a reasonably popular and complex -sys crate, our crate is “fine” on Windows, at least in theory, and I’ve heard of successes using it. However, I can’t even port my own app depending on said -sys crate to Windows; there’s always a wall of linker errors. If you report a Windows problem to me, I won’t tell you it’s fine, I just throw my hands in the air.

Rust has this as well but makes you explicitly state it using a wrapper type
called refcell (internal vs external borrow checking, I think are the terms).

They're faster than mutexes, which themselves also internal borrow check, but also have the logic mechanic.

This allows you to make any type work similarly but eschew the overhead in cases where it's not needed.
I've also used it a few times to suggest things to do in the last few months. It came up with OK suggestions.

I've actually grilled chat gpt a bit on geographic information on a few occasions. It's not perfect but surprisingly good. It obviously extracts a lot of that from things like wikipedia.

You can actually ask it to answer in geojson format, paste it in geojson.io and end up with a usable map. It seems to know about a lot of landmarks; including coordinates. For smaller venues, the coordinates are not super accurate.

You can also ask it to provide geojson for the boundingbox of a city or area. I even asked it to pretend to be an in car navigation system and provide me with directions to an address. It half succeeded in listing correct streets but messing up right and left. With the latest chatgpt it just asks bing.
A Hacker Helped Cocaine Traffickers Infiltrate Europe's Biggest Ports
From an article of his published a few days ago:

In my parody article, “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity” (Sokal 1996), I wrote as part of my conclusion:

[P]ostmodern science provides a powerful refutation of the authoritarianism and elitism inherent in traditional science, as well as an empirical basis for a democratic approach to scientific work. For, as Bohr noted, “a complete elucidation of one and the same object may require diverse points of view which defy a unique description” – this is quite simply a fact about the world, much as the self­proclaimed empiricists of modernist science might prefer to deny it. In such a situation, how can a self­perpetuating secular priesthood of credentialed “scientists” purport to maintain a monopoly on the production of scientific knowledge? (Sokal 1996, 229)

[...]

Alas, Prescod­Weinstein makes a similar bald leap at the beginning of her article – albeit this time, apparently, in all seriousness. Her claim is based on general relativity rather than quantum mechanics, but the structure of the logic is almost identical:

Albert Einstein’s monumental contribution to our empirical understanding of gravity is rooted in the principle of covariance, which is the simple idea that there is no single objective frame of reference that is more objective than any other. All frames of reference, all observers, are equally competent and capable of observing the universal laws that underlie the workings of our physical universe. Yet the number of women in physics remains low, especially those of African descent. The gender imbalance between Black women and Black men is less severe than in many professions, but the disparity remains. ... Black women must, according to Einstein’s principle of covariance, have an equal claim to objectivity regardless of their simultaneously experiencing intersecting axes of oppression ... (Prescod­Weinstein 2020, 422–423, references omitted)
