> I know startups where the average developer cannot even choose to work on a Linux workstation

That is more a company issue than country issue. And yes some do use Linux (but I think today the default is MacOS for a lot of startups)
Yes! Glad to see someone else who also enjoys the turbulence!

They aren't the government, silly billy. Just because it's written down doesn't mean that it has value, it's just an (effectively unfortunate) deterrent, since oftentimes a court has to decide that it's illegal.

In American English, "slither" is more frequently associated with the movement of snakes, specifically. A snake "slithers" by "moving smoothly over a surface with a twisting or oscillating motion." [0]

Aren't you just shifting the problem somewhere else? I assume VPN providers have to keep effectively the same records as ISPs so you've just created an extra hop to get the data?
And that's the problem, I do have to make syscalls directly quite often, and so I dislike Rust immensely. There are literally dozens of us at least, but the only people ever talking about Rust on the internet always like to drag C into the conversation for whatever reason even though they are always C++ programmers.
> Brussels doesn't really care about startups and sees them as a curiosity.

I think Brussels can be blame for a lot of things but not about NOT wanting to harmonize laws. But the main problem here is that countries dont really want a federation. So Brussels cannot do too much to help startups with taxes. I suspect the problem you so accurately describe with VAT is not that Brussels did not wanted a simple solution but countries insisting to own their own piece of that share according with their own VAT level. Focus here on the words “their own”.

Europe IMO as European citizen is very diverse so they all want somehow to keep everything they have in their own country the same while also making it together. That is hard task. Was hard when globalization spirit was high and it is almost impossible now when we go more into individualism.
I'm inclined to think we're less alone than ever, with the Internet. We're certainly sharing more with each other than ever, for better or worst.

Certainly, how we share (eg. online) has changed, but that's something we'll have to get used to, whether we like it or not. Or, feel free to reach out to people the old ways.

Edit: I worded this comment very poorly. What I'm really trying to say is that we seem to be moving toward a more virtual engagement with each other. Hopefully, this leads to something more positive than a "we all live in life support pods and live and interact in corporate-operated virtual worlds" ala The Matrix.

Then again, maybe that leaves a less crowded real world for those of us who choose not to participate?
The long term premise of WorldCoin is to not store retina scans in any way, and scanning stations in the US already do not do so.

Hi Jeremy & Eric, great to see your newest endeavor. I hope that Answer.AI builds on the success and impact that fast.ai has already enjoyed.

Given new developments in hardware (by companies not named NVIDIA), I'm wondering if you are keen on exploring the next generation of model architectures and optimization procedures that might exploit newer hardware. In other words, will research directions pivot based on the hardware lottery?[1] Are you in conversations with companies developing these alternative chips?

And really, Netflix screwed the pooch on this one right at the start by not making licensing rights irrevocable.

They could have said, "we'll pay $0.XXX per stream" and media companies would have said, "yay, more money for old crap we don't care about any more" and that would have been that.

But because they didn't make it irrevocable, companies have been rug pulling customers ever since
> This should be reasonable proof that the test doesn't test things very well, IMHO, because there are so many factors that go into getting a good score

Yep, I don't disagree! I happened to get scores that converted to each other exactly according, but overall I think it was good advice to try to use the system to our advantage rather than treat it as some sort of objective measurement.
I see your point; can't the reporting of the gag order itself can also be included in the 'news' training set?

I keep coming back to an infinite necessity of news/reporting; definitely read more than just news, but nothing in this thread has pointed me to "stop reading news", as the title directs.

They don’t need to detect the number of cores, although hardwareConcurrency is right there, but rather simply to ask the browser what it supports:

That way you can fall back for anything too old or weird to support that API, and if the vendor complains there’s a simple response: implement the standard.

>"insert the side that already has writing face up, and the side that is blank face down"

More odd that it would be on a printer, but for a scanner, it is telling you that it will scan the side that is face up. For a printer, I'd be willing to be that icon is telling you that it is going to print on the face-up side.

Supposedly all these metrics like "conversions" measure the amount of people convinced by ads.

But there's also the rumor floating around that all of these metrics are just hugely inflated, that these modern ads have in truth rates so miserable that a plain old billboard in the middle of nowhere would serve advertisers better, and that therefore the "modern WWW" is built on a foundation of lies, exagerations, and fake statistics.

Choose your poison.
The "considerate culture" you are advocating for is only possible when the material conditions for poverty are absent. You need a really strong social safety net.

Poverty is more strongly correlated with criminality than any other factor. If you want a world where everyone can feel safe leaving their door unlocked then you need a world where no one is left behind.

The problem with liberalism is that it is an individualistic ideology and the further we have gone down that road (now, neo-liberalism) with austerity and cost-cutting measures, the social safety net is bad and only getting worse.

What we need is socialism.
If the insolvency already exists, are you advocating to pretend it doesn’t? There are too many banks in the US anyway. If community or regional banks fail, replace them with postal banking or FedAccounts if you’re concerned about lack of deposit account options.

Could it be immediately after the JPMorgan acquisition they were looking for excuses to reduce headcount? Maybe the USB drive incident was sitting in an HR file for a while.
Are you sure about that? I was under the impression that the CFAA is broad enough that even if you have credentials to access computer systems, but do so in a way that was not intended, then you have broken the law. Intentional damage is included in that definition too.

Section (a)(5)(A): knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer

If by "backlog" you are referring to the mere brute fact that you have a bunch of games you haven't played, fine.

If by "backlog" your mental model includes even a hint of obligation... drop it. You have no obligation to games. You have no obligation to play them, you have no obligation to finish them if you start. They're just sunk costs. If they happen to be what you want to do, great, but if what you really want to do tonight is drop $30 on some new (to you) game and go to town, all that is costing you is $30 and the relevant time. It is not costing you $30, the relevant time, and the moral failure of betraying your backlog, because the latter does not exist. It is not costing you any more because you "wasted" the money acquiring your backlog, because, again, it is sunk cost.

Yes, it's obvious when I say it, but if you're anything like me (and most other people I see) it takes a few very deliberative passes at training your subconscious to really get this.

The good news, breaking yourself of sunk cost fallacy can directly pay off in your job, too. It's a pernicious little mistake that can sneak up on you, and it's one of the things that divides the engineers from the business folk in your company... and I gotta tell you, even as an engineer and with all sympathy to engineers, the business folk are 100% in the right on this one.

(Additionally, once you really internalize this, you'll also find yourself less inclined to buy something just because it's on a killer deal. The marginal value of adding one more game to my list of games I can play in the future for $0 may not be even $1 once I've already got a couple dozen such great $0 choices.)
I agree, I don’t agree with the thesis of the OP either
People writing C are the people that really do have to make syscalls directly, or use weird calling conventions, or whatever all the time. I see Rust replacing C++ but I have a hard time seeing it replace C because the people that desired and/or could tolerate safety, like you said, are already not writing C for the most part. That group has been firmly C++ for a long time.
The causative factor behind Doctorow's enshittification is these asshat companies controlling both the demand and the supply side.

Disintermediation killed the mom and pop music stores, streaming outright killed physical media. Kids starting university don't understand the concept of a file system; documents just live in the docs app, right?

Maybe we end up in a situation where there's no escape because the median user is held hostage by the lack of knowledge how the internet should have been.
The Mossad used small -targeted- explosives and motorcycles.

They rode by a vehicle, attached the explosive, rode off and detonated.

They’ve targeted and dispatched several nuclear scientists from Iran with this trick.

Still a bit like a Bond plot.
After DMA, Apple must allow app sideloading. They may decide not to host Epic Games Store in App Store, but I don't think they will be allowed to block them from running their own store with sideloading.

Of course, Apple can try to circumvent but that's a blatant violation of DMA and there will be serious retaliation. EU already has given a warning[1]. Perhaps it's good to remind that Apple could've been in a better position with all the USB-C situation if they didn't insult EU congressman with laughter[2]... I don't think Tim's going to repeat the same mistake.

Try something like this with optimization on:

int would_increment_overflow(int a) {
if (a + 1 < a) {
return -1;
return 0;
}

This gets turned to a function that always returns 0.

0000000000000000 <would_increment_overflow>:
0: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
4: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
6: c3 retq

Using unsigned int gives the wrapping semantics.

If the tenant is large enough they may have stock price exposure through large investors such as pension funds.
This started as a subsection of the Cory Doctorow wiki article, does it really need its own with a growing list of random 'examples'?

Similar thoughts in this comment:

Wow, I'm a game developer and I hated E3 for almost the exact opposite reason. Booth babes are gross and happy to see them go. Celebrities and influencers can fuck right off.

My first E3 opened my eyes to the disparity between the actual talent building the games 60 hours a week for $80k a year and money been thrown around for the publishing execs and marketing teams. The marketing budget wasn't being spent on carefully placed ads or thoughtful and creative campaigns, its blown on massive parties for the leaches and vampires.
>You seem to assume that there’s even a politician on the ticket that’s worthy of the vote on this issue.

Tennessee also recently enacted legislation OUTLAWING RANKed-CHOICE VOTING [after Memphis attempted such voting], thus ensuring only two-party electorate; and for the foreseeable future.

This state HATES its constituency, beyond anything more than their "fair" votes.
> I really wish government wouldn't make public announcements on closed platforms.

Unlike Apple, the government has to meet the people where they are.
You realize this data is often available for purchase or eventually publicly leaked, right? You don't have to be "smart enough" to do the hacking to benefit from it.
I almost laughed out loud when I got the email a few days after the leak. There's no way a company can just change the TOS AFTER a major leak, right?
Human depth perception only works up to ~7 meters so should be ok.
Definitely. Blackhats are much better at overseeing application distribution than the OS vendor. :P

In all seriousness, you already have to trust the OS vendor not to be trying to do bad things. Having them oversee software distribution at least does not increase the number of organizations you need to trust. If you have someone else do it, you will be opening the door to black hats that will be clamoring to take that role. Not relying on the OS vendor to do that is how we have scams where the victims installed the malware that harmed them. :/

Then there's standard walls switch in Europe, which works whichever way the electrician happened to wire it. And then, existence of "stair switches"[0] means you can't ever rely on directionality being consistent.

[0] - Don't know what the formal way for these are; I'm thinking of two switches hooked up in a XOR pattern to the same light - i.e. light turns on when the switches are in opposite positions, and off if they're in the same position.
A2DP would not be a good choice for real-time audio, since it's optimized for quality and defined latency rather than low latency. It does so by using reliable transports which use large retransmission buffers, making latency much worse.

An analogy would be Shoutcast (MP3 audio streaming, mostly used for web radio) vs. RTP (mostly used for real-time communications these days): Both have their strength and weaknesses.
They're not to my tastes, but if you're into them, then sure, yeah! Lots of good stuff this year.
> Is FDIC going to fail? Obviously not.

I wouldn't say that. Why are there bank runs on failing banks that are FDIC insured? Do people not trust it?
Yes, they've used the monthly rent price as leverage in other financial decisions, so if it was to fall as supply/demand suggests it should, they're left over-exposed. So better to eat the 1x loss than lose the 5x multiple.
> a game that would never be released

Halo was released to Xbox in 2001 and by 2003 both a MacOS and Windows port were released. "Delayed" maybe, but definitely not "never released".

I played quite a bit of Halo on PC in high school with my friends, sneaking into a nearby university computer lab and usurping it as a LAN party room. For some reason those Windows machines all had Halo pre-installed on them.

This is obviously a baseless and naive comment, and I'm glad others have stepped in to call it out. This whole thread is filled with noise like this.

The fact that there are so many strong opinions from people who demonstrate an embarrassingly low understanding of the situation is one of the reasons the problem is so hard to solve in the first place.
I read the article and agree with a few points. It is important to recognize the decline of community and family dynamics in the west and how that impacts people. Some conclusions, however, I don't agree with.

1. The author posits the idea that we will become boring or unlikeable, even if we were not this way before. I personally don't see that take place in my surroundings. People's personalities don't tend to change too much, and barring some radical illness such as dementia (which the author mentions), I find it hard to believe that someone generally found as interesting would become boring after a certain amount of time.

2. The author points out the dichotomy between people wanting independence from community for most of their lives, while also wanting care when they are in need, but from my experience, people who desire independence strongly also desire it in times of weakness. I know many people in my extended family who have been independent and they continue to ask for nothing and want nothing even as their bodies fail.

I'm also a little confused as to the notion of people desiring independence from community. While I know many people that desired independence from local community microcosms, such as church, small rural towns, or disagreeable family, many of those people still want community. I really am not seeing the issue that this author refers to in the article of people essentially wanting to be independent and optional from all communities in order to maintain wealth. In my experience the main issue people are having is that we don't have ready made replacements to traditional communities and online communities are not fulfilling the social requirements of being a human.
And it's always been this way. Just look at how the legal system is handling the current politicians who have court cases. Me and you, we'd be in jail.

Financial bail outs are one thing, but corporate lawbreaking is treated different by the courts, however, I think things are starting to change. Elon is going to cause a shift change and corporate America is a little worried.
Syntax highlighting and indenting probably makes matching parentheses a non-issue.
Yup. Unfortunate indeed.

It's 2023 and there is jinja, liquid, moustache and then some. Nothing extraordinary. Nothing truly cross language.

I think that if the dice fell just slightly different, PHP could have taken that niche. Be the best templating language that has bindings to all major languages.

It was really good at arrays, but then piled objects, hashmaps and more on top of these arrays. It had very good and broad string manipulation std functions. But the it piled SQL on top of that.

Imagine if instead of mysql_real_escape it had focused on (nested) caching. Or if instead of the umpteenth mediocre OOP class inheritance it introduced template partials as objects to be defined. If, instead of clumsy form handling, it had the world's fasted serialization (to xml, html, JSON etc). Instead of csv parsers, it offered the best stdlib for rendering data. And so on.

Perhaps they aren't writing Rust because those are the people that need to write unsafe code. Chicken and egg. I'm sure it you forced all the C programmers to switch to Rust you would see a lot more use of unsafe.

>Blocking public services that naturally have a pricing advantage over private businesses because they're supported by tax dollars.

That's the stated rationale. The actual reason is that the entirety of Republican economic ideology revolves around the idea that the government isn't capable of providing better service than private companies and municipal broadband shows this to be a complete lie.
Why isn't it possible in Go? If you can use pointers to structures in both Go and C, and you can access the fields of a structure through a pointer in both, then I don't understand why reading a structure field through a null pointer wouldn't cause the dereference of an address like 0x8 in both languages.
