> defense minister is handing out assault rifles to West Bank Settlers but nobody really wants to be there.

The right to self defense is one of the basic human rights. "Human" here includes Jews, to the surprise of many. Israeli government committed a grave mistake of disarming the population in dangerous areas, thinking people do not need to defend themselves, since it's the job of the government. That cost hundreds of lives - lives of the people that could defend themselves, but were disarmed by their own government. Looks like finally the government realizes the gravity of their mistake. Good, at least they are capable of learning.
A lot can be said about js tooling but honestly it works good once it is set up. Most modern js tooling provides --watch flags and hot module reloading. Vite is one popular option. Just save one file and the change instantly takes effect in the browser, even on a large project. Never seen any makefile based c++ project come close to that experience.
Can you describe the WebRTC restrictions you mentioned?

in some sense almost any circuit in which a digital computer controls an analog multiplexer chip or a so-called digital potentiometer could qualify. and cypress's psoc line has a bit of analog circuitry that can be thus digitally reconfigured
No, he meant backslashend.
Yes, it's pretty easy to just imagine the rotation and guess it's somewhere around 4. The last part of the rotation is more difficult to imagine.
No one is denying that you could buy premium services on top of cable that were ad free.

The claim that was being denied was that “cable used to be ad free”, and specifically used as a basis for lamenting an evolving standard where the basic tier of streaming services are ad supported. Aside from not being the claim you have moved the goalposts to, it was made in a context where the ine you’ve moved the goalposts to would make no sense.

Yeah just start with the assumption that “this is an appliance” in my world and most of the rest probably makes sense.

From my point of view and use case, right now the market has two options:

1. A smart toaster with WiFi and Bluetooth that runs modified Linux and uses this functionality to both offer you automatic bread ordering and also spy on your daily toasting habits. But if you don’t like being spied on you can also run aftermarket ToastOS which works on most toasters (though it’s maintained by volunteers and sometimes you update and try and make toast but it never pops and lights a fire in your kitchen). Or…

2. A relatively dumb toaster with a lever and thermocouple. It cannot run custom toast programs. It always makes toast to the exact same darkness regardless of if you want it lighter or darker. If it stops working you throw it out and get a new one because the whole case is glued shut and it’s unrepairable.

Also in this not-so-hypothetical-hypothetical I have literally zero hours in a day to spend on things but a whole big pile of dollarbucks. Also I’m a techie with ADHD and if there’s a piece of broken or annoying technology in front of me I _can_ fix, I will fix.

I’ll pay you extra to solve my toasting problem for me with your dumb appliance so I can get back to migrating workloads off of my EKS cluster on to the bare metal k3s cluster that’s heating up my utility room or rebuilding my garage doors or whatever it is I need to be doing today.
Tiberium is absolutely correct, but I do admit I'd love a TRYD-like project. Thanks for giving me some useful search terms!

(to be clear, what I had in mind: not just merging trace heads to form a tree, but merging their tails as well [à la NFA minimisation] to form a cyclic graph; after which one could use region-based techniques on the identified cycles.

Yeah. 6 years or so now. Putting the buffers in a server that checkpoints regularly was key to making it easy to do early - made it really hard to lose any data even when it crashed regularly.
IIRC BBC BASIC let you choose the renumber increment, but the ZX Spectrum didn't.
It's not so bad if you think of this as pipelining. I definitely agree some intermediates ought to be named though.
They could have typoed '664', which was the 464 with a floppy disk drive. However there basic was still in the ROM.
> By buying my mother a gift, I have now made it so that her contacts with iPhones, who all have her email saved, will – by default – send her messages that she cannot access on her phone, and they won’t know that they’re doing this when trying to text her.

I guess other people are likely different, but I hardly ever populate a contact with email addresses. Almost all of my contact cards have a phone number, and possibly a mailing address, but no email. I am more likely to put down family relationships or notes about how I know the person (my kid's friend's parent, for example) than I am to put in an email address.

This doesn't mean that the behavior that he describes, where messages are routed via iMessage to an email address instead of SMS to a phone, is appropriate. But it seems a bit extreme to claim that "her contacts with iPhones, who all have her email saved". I would imagine that a 60 year old woman (I'm guessing at her age) is not super likely to exclusively be friends with people who enter emails for all their contacts.

Excerpts:

> Of particular concern to the government is a potential lawsuit from Mr. Spavor that has put a spotlight on Canada’s Global Security Reporting Program, the sources say. Mr. Kovrig, during his time as a Canadian diplomat, worked for the GSRP, a special unit within the intelligence branch of Global Affairs Canada that sends foreign service officers to hot spots to collect security-related information for Ottawa.

...

> The partially redacted report does not mention Mr. Kovrig by name, but the watchdog warned about the overlap between GSRP officers and CSIS agents at missions abroad. It concluded that inadequately trained GSRP officers do not appreciate the risks and dangers associated with overseas contacts and sources.

...

> “It was not clear if all officers understood that once they are no longer afforded diplomatic immunity, a receiving state may seek retaliatory measures against them,” the report said, adding former GSRP officers “may be liable to prosecution for illegal acts they performed during the mission if they later re-enter the receiving state without the protection of diplomatic immunity.”

...

> The Globe has also reported that Canadians Kevin and Julia Garratt were detained by Chinese authorities in 2014 after Mr. Garratt met a GSRP officer. ... Mr. Garratt said he would not have spoken to GSRP officer Martin Laflamme had he known the discussions would be passed on to CSIS and its Five Eyes intelligence partners, the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

...

> The Department of Global Affairs says GSRP officers are not covert intelligence operators and do not recruit, handle or pay sources. But NSIRA found that there were no internal policies and protocols in place to provide guidance to GSRP officers, particularly those in countries where there is a “high degree of mistrust for outsiders; often take a hard line on internal security matters; and, tend to deploy mass surveillance on foreigners and citizens.”

> NSIRA discovered cases where GSRP officers engaged with local intelligence agencies in the countries where they were posted and instances where these Canadian diplomats collected what appeared to be classified information from sources. “The contact mentioned serious consequences if he was caught with the information,” the review recounted. It discovered another case where a GSRP officer even requested, and received, classified information from a contact.

> NSIRA concluded that the GSRP is operating in a “distinctly grey zone” and said the matters raised in its report would likely spark a “renewed conversation” about Canada setting up a foreign human-intelligence collection agency.
True. This is not a modern C++. It is a futuristic C++. Use {fmt} library in the meantime.
I grew up typing programs from softdisk magazine, Compute! etc... into TRS-80, Apple II, Atari 800, and C-64. I still think JavaScript in a browser is better.

JavaScript is way more powerful than Basic on any of those 4 platforms. The canvas 2D API is way more capable and easy than what came with those systems. Even getting something like

<input type="text">

Was 50-150 lines of code in BASIC, by which I mean a text input line with a cursor and editing and not just BASIC's "INPUT" command which provided nearly zero editing support.

Libraries like pixi.js or three.js or p5.js etc make it trivial to get fancy graphics on the screen. Making something you can share it with your friends or the entire world with a link, even if they don't own the same type of machine running the same OS. Host them on codepen, jsfiddle, github pages, all free.

I loved my experience with Basic and those old machines but I wouldn't force my kids to learn that way.

Majority of CVE's are memory corruption. It is not possible to move into the future without resolving this problem. If we don't fix it now you will be regulated to inferior solutions in the future. Software will be tied up in red tape just like building bridges.

I don't see the problem with a corner cutter question located around the end of a test.

It filters people into:

- those who don't manage time efficiently by investing too much energy on a problem.

- those who did cut the corner and as a result got an edge with a few more questions solved

- the genius ones, who solved everything, in whatever order

If the objective of a test is classifying candidates and time management is one of the metric considered, then this kind of testing pattern absolutely makes sense.

I was one of those who never cut corners and just focused on the problem at hand until failure, and now that I am working and need to get things done I wished my teachers trained me that skill.
Seems risky. I remember the automated train control system for the Vienna Hauptbahnhof (main train station) had an x86 and a SPARC, one programmed in a procedural language and one in a production language. The idea was to make it hard to have the same bug in both systems (which could lead to a false positive in the voting mechanism).

> Expert will always run circles around newcomers.

That isn't true, there are many problems less than mediocre experts fails to solve that a smart junior can manage to solve. Experts are great at common problems but not great at rarer ones, non-standard problems depend more on natural ability than experience.

Of course smart experts can also solve those problems, but you didn't say a smart expert, you just said experts in general.

The ability to generalize based on experience requires intelligence. That is why you have so many expert programmers who can't solve problems well, because they lack the ability to generalize their experience well enough to apply it to new problems.

> can have shared state for database connections but the main interpreter is not a separate process but simply a function call.

> It would have to be multithreaded, it could communicate with nginx via domain socket as php-fpm does.

If we define the communication with nginx over domain socket to be HTTP/1.1, then you have basically reinvented Rails / Flask / Django / Hyper / ... - you can define each script as a Python/Ruby/Rust function and everything runs in shared processes so you can cache database connections and other things if you fancy.
For me, it's that this language already exists in F#. Other than "lightweight" (.NET probably inatalls just as fast as Python these days, though), it is the statically typed scripting language, in my opinion.
For my inner eye, I can see that the circle will rotate half a circumsphere to get around the corner.

But I can’t really explain why. It’s the same distance.

I get that when a road turns left, it’s longer on the right side, but these are lines that have no width and so there’s no stretch and by definition we’ve kept the length the same.
I wonder what it will feel like to have reflections of my neurons in my devices; psychotronic augmentation. A seamless interface? A loyal animal? A personal connection?

Interesting truth. Vivid colors, best response time, saves power in dark mode, #000 looks amazing (and off-black looks muddied). Honestly I wish we normalized true black themes for this reason.
You're describing a "hybrid computer". These were introduced in the late 1950s, combining a digital processor with analog computing units. I don't understand why you and kragen want to redefine standard terms; this seems like a pointless linguistic exercise.

Ah right, I think I get your point.

I tried finding the age distribution per power train, but the closest I could find was per brand, which isn't all that useful. Teslas is a decent proxy for EVs, being EV only and most popular for a long time, but not sure I can find a suitable, representative proxy brand for ICEs.
I too have found it handy for managing containers, container networks, and images. It's prevented me from using docker-compose as much as I pronanly should.

Oh, I'm not saying it can't be done, and if it could, I'd be happy.

It of course depends on what somebody deems "compelling". What comes to mind is, mostly, behavior that feels off when any sort of animation is involved. Mostly the "rubber-band effect" when scrolling past the first / last element of a list as well as the scrolling action itself. This is surprising to me, since I'd expect ios' web view, being safari, to behave the right way. But I wouldn't be surprised for these sites to hijack scrolling, as many sites do on the desktop.

Then there are the expected gestures which don't always work. Take the uber app and the "back" gesture: they sometimes do, but sometimes they don't, even when there's a back arrow present. And when they do, they feel off. The current image doesn't begin sliding smoothly from the edge, it waits a bit and then it "jumps" to some distance. Also, in Uber, for some reason, just scrolling up and down for example in my past trips stutters. Yeah, I know it loads those as it goes, but even after the list is populated, it keeps stuttering. After a while, if I stay on that page, it seems to be smooth, though.

Then there's the typography, which is often weird.

Now I guess you could always have those issues even with full-on native apps, especially the last point. And I doubt it's impossible to go out of your way to mess up scrolling, as some devs do that for the browser.

But mostly, native apps behave a certain way which some people may come to expect from their devices. To me, it's compelling enough that, given the choice, I'll pick the "native" app over the weird one. I also don't care the least bit about "brand experience" or whatever it's called, so not having your weird font is actually a feature for me. I also only have an iphone, so don't care about the app behaving the same on multiple platforms (though I can see the value in that for support).

Also, I don't care that the app is actually native, what I care about is its behavior. So, if an app is able to have the same behaviors while actually being a bunch of JS inside a web view, I don't really have a problem with that.

What a sad day if it's acted, as a native french I always got a little chuckle that there is a slight comeuppance for the fact that 'bit' (and also 'byte' in a lesser measure) is pronounced exactly like 'bite', which is french for 'cock'.

> their membership in the EU single market.

Which is likely negated by the membership of the Euro single currency.

> The German economy was relatively prosperous by 2012, and European monetary policy was far too tight for weaker economies. Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain all faced high debt, high interest rates, and high unemployment. This time, monetary policy was too tight rather than too loose. The only constant was that the euro continued to work in favor of Germany.

Hard to say absolutely, because some actually are, e.g. producing graphite as the rest heat can keep the process going for quite a while. And, more importantly, because we do not have 100% renewable grids yet.

Hydro does provide power without wind or sun so, as does bio gas, geothermal, pumped hydro.

Conflicting papers have been published on transmission effectiveness. Everyone believes whatever they want.

“Similarly, researchers in California observed no major differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in terms of SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in the nasopharynx, even in those with proven asymptomatic infection.

Thus, the current evidence suggests that current mandatory vaccination policies might need to be reconsidered, and that vaccination status should not replace mitigation practices such as mask wearing, physical distancing, and contact-tracing investigations, even within highly vaccinated populations.”

Unified Memory is not about bandwidth or latency. On a desktop PC, you have CPU and GPU side buffers with different addresses that may or may not map to the same physical memory, and the APIs require you to perform mapping/unmapping operations or perform explicit uploads and downloads.

On target with unified memory, it is all one address space, the data is just where you put it. There are not split CPU and GPU memory modules. (For some consoles there are different categories of memory, usually based on traits like write combining, but it's all one unified address space). Even now with Vulkan, the experience of programming for a unified memory console is very different.

A desktop PC driver can, ideally, optimize out many of your upload/download/map/unmap operations. With unified memory, they simply don't exist.
