Something being inevitable is different from it being justified.

Hamas’ and Palestinian Jihad’s violence is a predictable response to Israel’s abandonment of two-party talks and its right wing’s ascendency within its politics. That doesn’t justify gunning down kids at a concert.

Similarly, the IDF levelling much of Gaza in retribution was a predictable repercussion of killing Israeli civilians, including children. That doesn’t make their deaths fair.
I think the pushback will be pretty insignificant simply based on the fact that compared to Google Glass, they really don't stand out as much.

Not only that, you don't even need to "host" Syncthing. Being P2P in nature, it can just run on whatever computers you want to sync to, directly.

That's pretty cool.

The only thing I'd really want for Syncthing is some kind of simple interface for my desktops (all running SwayWM.) There's a GTK app that I use on my Pinephone, but it's a little janky. I mainly just want to be able to know that I'll get notifications when there's a conflict or error. (Dropbox style file emblems in file explorers, showing the state, would be nice, too...)
> On the consumer side, I tend to see Amex as not widely accepted. Especially drops when traveling.

I’ve found the main difference being cash only venues versus card+cash accepted.

I just got back from Japan and traveled to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kawaguchiko, Miyajima, and it was somewhat rare to find a business that accepted cards but didn’t accept Amex, much to my surprise!
Ah didn’t know that, thanks.
It's literally all of them. I think Apple puts in enormous effort and skill to create beautiful software (and things too), but then these efforts make contact with reality and become something incredibly frustrating and ugly.

For example the glass surface on an iPhone. This is a beautiful object in many ways, but it's meant to be held securely in a human hand and hopefully survive falls from 3-4 feet. Slippery glass is one of the stupidest surface materials one could choose for the back of this device.

We can dig around in just about any open (or closed) software. There are always some small, beautiful ideas floating around in there just waiting to be seen. But then, when the code is actually executed it becomes a terrifying Geiger-like[0] morass of interconnected tentacles that reach into unexpected places and rip at whatever soft flesh they touch.

Wow this reminds me so much of a novel I read a few months ago:

> Loss of identity and loss of the ability to foresee and aspire to a better future are rarely identified as issues that need special attention. It is to these faces of poverty that the discipline of linguistics has particular relevance.

> Identity poverty and aspirational poverty are inextricably connected with the role of language and its uses as a creator and marker of identity.

The Duncan reference they give is from 2008, but the novel I'm thinking of is Ismael Kadare's "The Traitor's Niche" from 1978. It's a parable for the Albanian-Soviet split.

In it there's a harrowing description of the techniques used by the Ottoman empire to suppress rebellion in their provinces. They aim exactly to extinguish the peoples' language first and foremost, introducing a sort of primitive language, in order to preclude the very possibility of formulating a thought that can distinguish future from present or past. In this "eternal moment", the idea that tomorrow could be different from today, or that yesterday might have been different, doesn't even enter people's mind.

Of course it bears strong resemblance to Orwell, but for some reason (maybe Kadare's amazing prose) it really gave me shivers and stuck with me. I've been meaning to write an English language review of the book because I didn't find one so far that really does it justice. Highly recommended in any case!

Side note: I did a cursory web search to see whether the techniques Kadare ascribes to the Ottomans have any grounding in reality but came up empty. If anyone has sources to substantiate them or knows for sure that this was not the case, I'd be super interested. :)
It’s literally in the first sentence
I'm a bit confused about the premise. This is not comparing pure Python code against some native (C or Rust) code. It's comparing one Python wrapper around native code (Python's file read method) against another Python wrapper around some native code (OpenDAL). OK it's still interesting that there's a difference in performance, but it's very odd to describe it as "slower than Python". Did they expect that the Python standard library is all written in pure Python? On the contrary, I would expect the implementations of functions in Python's standard library to be native and, individually, highly optimised.

I'm not surprised the conclusion had something to do with the way that native code works. Admittedly I was surprised at the specific answer - still a very interesting article despite the confusing start.

Edit: The conclusion also took me a couple of attempts to parse. There's a heading "C is slower than Python with specified offset". To me, as a native English speaker, this reads as "C is slower (than Python) with specified offset" i.e. it sounds like they took the C code, specified the same offset as Python, and then it's still slower than Python. But it's the opposite: once the offset from Python was also specified in the C code, the C code was then faster. Still very interesting once I got what they were saying though.

Just use apace2, its davfs implementation, and davfs clients.

Linux has davfs2, android has foldersync.

Apache2 is super streamlined for this, and has done dav stuff for at least 16 years.
There's a huge difference. With Afghanistan, Americans living in Chicago or New York or Houston were halfway across the world. This is here. Gaza is 35 miles from Tel Aviv and 40 miles from Jerusalem.

I don't know what the goals were in Afghanistan. Short of ICBMs, I don't see how Afghanistan could ever threaten the US. The threat against us is local and immediate and has already proven to be real.

Thus resulting a lot of civ casualties. If it's genocide is for ever up to debate. Civ casualties are usually not that debatable. Without a large number (%) of civ deaths in some place there cannot be a genocide.
This assumes that I think being fast is by itself a worthy competition, which I don't, plus fails to provide a definition of speed. There are plenty of companies with phenomenal growth that we've never heard of because they don't make headlines. Even in the automotive market there are companies that are experiencing big growth and stealing market share from Tesla quicker than Tesla built that market. Yes they were first but that's no guarantee of long term success.

Picking from the dataset of companies you can think of is something that Musk's marketing strategy relies on as it's what we do when comparing companies for buying cars, buying stock or talking about.
> It does make me wonder why pymallov and jemalloc used page aligned memory, but glibc didn't.

The root cause is not about page alignment. In fact, all allocators are aligned.

The root cause is AMD CPU didn't implement FSRM correctly while copying data from 0x1000 * n ~ 0x1000 * n + 0x10.

> Other questions never answered, why did pyo3 add so much overhead? it was over half the difference between the two.

OpenDAL Python Binding v0.42 does have many place to improve, like we can alloc the buffer in advance or using `read_buf` into uninit vec. I skipped this part since they are not the root cause.
From page 72[ed]:

> And on the other hand, if Mark received his Gos-
pel from Peter, why is it that the other Gospels have more anecdotes about Peter, including for example, Je- sus telling him, “You are Peter the rock, and upon this rock I will build my church”? Would Peter himself for- get such an incident? It gets worse. Mark shows no un- derstanding of the social situation in the Holy Land, making numerous errors that no one living in early first century Judea would have made. Interestingly enough, when you compare Matthew’s and Mark’s Gospels, one finds that the author of Matthew is constantly correcting Mark’s blunders about all aspects of Jewish society, re- ligion, the calendar, holidays, customs, attitudes – even repeated misquotes of scripture.

I'm afraid this is just not informative at all, and doesn't give me a good impression of the rest of the book.

Why did Mark not include it? The simplest answer is that he didn't think it was important. Mark is the shortest book -- there are lots of things that mark could have included and didn't. His implication is that somehow Mark didn't know where Peter / Cephas / Rock's nickname came from, which I find much more hard to believe than that he just decided not to include it. This is hardly the kind of evidence you can follow with "it gets worse".

But it gets worse. There's absolutely no detail here -- what social situation is Mark allegedly showing no understanding of? What kinds of "errors" is he making? I can't go and verify what he's saying, or consider the claim critically myself. Is Mark's change an "error", showing a basic lack of knowledge about the societal situation? Or is it a deliberate "contextualization", to make the stories accessible to a Greek audience without having to explain loads of irrelevant cultural background? No way to check and judge for myself; I'm expected to just take it on his authority.

And re the geographical "blunder" -- I someone in Cambridge, UK today said, "I'm going by way of Manchester to London", nobody would say they were committing a "geographical blunder". They'd understand that person to mean that they are going to first visit Manchester briefly, and then go to London.

This sort of thing is exactly in line with other things I've read claiming that Jesus didn't exist; I've never seen anything to make me think it's worth spending more of my time digging into.
I'm sure there are examples of abuse.

But I honestly don't see the problem in principle.

If a court issues you a fine and you simply ignore it, that's not a situation society can just ignore. If you are truly unable to pay, that's more complicated, but should not just simply magically resolve you of responsibility.

There has to be other measures to ensure that money is paid or an equivalent cost is beared. Garnishing wages being an obvious first step.

(This is especially true if fines were to scale with income/wealth)
The question is why don't they provider the services at cost? It's not like they invest in the phones. They are in the end public phones no? And secured a little bit so they can't be damaged easily, but that's it.

You gave very helpful and informative advice exactly what I’ve been looking for. I am very grateful to you and your efforts and hopefully others who wish to start with FPGA will find it as useful and perfectly guiding as I did. Thank you very much. You’ve made my day.
Doesn't that make the privacy concerns that people previously had even more prominent?
I agree.

Also, in Denmark and today's Northern Germany, Wik is used in particular to designate places where boats could be beached and where trade was conducted in a non permanent fashion, i.e. a beaching harbour used for trade events.

Quite a few of those places became permanent settlements and the toponymy kept the -wik.

While a very unscientific thing to say, this makes sense if Viking included sailing from place to place exploring and trading.
X11 doesn't do it. I did it. X11 would be tearing til the cows come home if I didn't intervene. I'm glad MPV is well-behaved but not nearly every application is. I can't get smooth motion in many applications on my machine because my main display running at 59.95 will hitch regularly as it lags behind the 60Hz secondary monitor.

Even you had to manually configure your system not to tear uncontrollably with a config file. Wayland isn't as mature as X11, sure, and the lack of color management (sorta) is a critical and fatal flaw, but it doesn't have these foundational issues that need to be worked around manually by the user on every system 20 years after every other display stack on the planet figured this all out.

X11 is mature and workable but it's not good. And it often shows the decades of mud its codebase has been dragged through. I'll be thrilled when Wayland matures and when Nvidia finally pulls its head out of its butt.

I'm in Germany, and my Twitter account still technically exists. (I have wiped the history and log into it once a week to retain the username that I wrote on talks etc. for over a decade.)

I had a look around the "For You" feed to compare: I got ads for Babbel (the language learning app), a company that etches images into glass cubes as a souvenir, a bank selling personal credits at dubiously low interest rates, a "ChatGPT prompting cheat sheet", and a travel ad for Abu Dhabi.

Not quite the cesspool you describe, but still, a significant change from what I remember when I used Twitter actively. It used to be mostly big-name brands, both international and national ones.
IMO the pushback was against the perception that people wore them to signal that they had $1500 since they didn’t do that much and were fairly obviously futuristic on your face. I saw someone climbing in them and my impression was not that they were somehow relevant for the climbing..
My understanding was that the pushback was based on people's discomfort around other people wearing these things, hence the "glasshole" name being used.

Do any other company start as many new things as Google? Google builds things extremely quickly for being that large. Then they shut them down just as quickly, which is another matter, but it is hard to argue that they are slow at building products.

At least you can do cross-OS BLE if you restrict to Chrome/Chromium. And do it very fast.

Cross-platform Bluetooth (and Bluetooth in general) is a world of pain anyway. Web Bluetooth API is a lot less painful than any other Bluetooth API I've encountered.

Of course there are cases that don't work in web. Does this mean it shouldn't be used for cases where web works?

It's the pace and categorical type of these breakthroughs that represent a paradigm shift, never seen before in the creative fields.

Concepts of justice are old. They tend to include these elements, though I’m open to seeing how others formalize its aims.

> when victims and victim families are interviewed on this subject, most of them aren't terribly satisfied by criminals being "punished."

Source needed. Also, retribution reduces not only victims taking the law into their own hands, but also the public.

Note that I am not saying every incarceration needs a retributive component. The American justice system is absolutely too retributive. But it’s an old institution [1] for good reason.

That looks pretty nice. I'll try to find some noisy files to send to you. What's nice about Darktable is it has a feature called "profiled denoise".

Contributors send in calibrated RAW files per camera, taken at every ISO setting possible, so Darktable denoises your file according to your camera's profile at particular ISO. The result is pretty impressive.

>Rust std fs slower than Python!? No, it's hardware!

>...

>Python features three memory domains, each representing different allocation strategies and optimized for various purposes.

>...

>Rust is slower than Python only on my machine.

if one library performs wildly better than the other in the same test, on the same hardware, how can that not be a software-related problem? sounds like a contradiction.

Maybe should be considered a coding issue and/or feature absent? IMHO it would be expected Rust's std library perform well without making all the users to circumvent the issue manually.

The article is well investigated so I assume the author just want to show the problem existence without creating controversy because other way I can not understand.
25% of the world's crude oil was shipped out of the Gulf at that time. The Iran-Iraq war had caused the prices of crude to skyrocket as many insurance companies refused to cover any shipping in the region. So the US felt compelled to protect the exports of crude oil from "friendly" nations. While continuing to blockade Iranian imports/exports.

For more details on the political situation at that time, I recommend reading The Persian Puzzle by Pollack.

Even if you're into the pure punishment angle, prolonged isolation is a factory for mental instability. And you're releasing most of these people back into society at some point.
I remember starting to use software to stop a machine when the door was opened. A more experienced engineer stopped that and we added relay hard logic. That was 40 years ago, it's clear as day. Exactly the same issue with the Therac-25.

1. UI remains klunky/ugly AF. Beyond aesthetics, you lost me when I can't copy/paste text from the UI e.g. error messages... the new connection screen (a user's first experience) are super klunky and don't get started about setting up an SSH tunnel... crazy error messages.

2. system stats requires an extension... that's not available in AWS RDS... wtf?

3. there is no 3 - pgadmin already lost me because these things are too easy to "get right" and I'm not going to give it more time when there's lots of other tools.

pgadmin team - sorry!!!
Rightly or wrongly, the US went into Afghanistan because of a "local and immediate" event in New York City in 2001. It serves as an illustration of how hard it is to change a population's ideology via force. The distance isn't really what matters.

Again, I don't doubt the threat. It's demonstrably real. I doubt the IDF's current response to that threat is going to be successful at neutralizing it. I strongly suspect the response to that threat is going to make things worse in the next few decades.
The real takeaway is that letting a single software engineer ship all the code for a safety-critical medical device is a really bad idea. Software engineering in the 80s was another dimension.
This is a fantastic demo. I've tried to build these type of prototypes for all Meta Headsets in the past but their very limited API/SDKs block you from doing anything meaningful with computer vision. They are too scared of devs getting access to the camera.

Hope that Apple Vision Pro gives a more robust api to developers and that forces Meta to open up.

I will use this approach for a poc I have in mind. Great job and thank you for open sourcing!
