Here is the stated reasoning:

"After obtaining the Superseding Indictment, the United States sent a request to The Bahamas for a waiver of the rule of specialty to permit trial on the Additional Counts. However, the defendant moved to intervene in the extradition process in The Bahamas, delaying the process. Accordingly, the Government consented to the Courts severance of the Additional Counts and proceeded to trial on the seven counts for which the defendant was originally extradited. To date, The Bahamas has not agreed to waive the rule of specialty, and the Government does not have a timeline for when The Bahamas may respond to its request. Nonetheless, as described above, the Government proved at trial the conduct underlying the Additional Counts. Indeed, trial on the Additional Counts would feature much of the same evidence that was presented at the initial trial. And, importantly, a second trial would not affect the United States Sentencing Guidelines range for the defendant, because the Court can already consider all of this conduct as relevant conduct when sentencing him for the counts that he was found guilty of at the initial trial."

depending on how much cheaper a 100 mile range EV was, I might be willing to consider it and then rent an ICE vehicle for the few times a year I needed extra range. I am considering that option anyways since, while my current EV is fine for long (10+ hour) drives, it is potentially too small for when I have a second kid + dogs. While I'm hoping that a roof rack will make the vehicle still work (hopefully the range hit won't be too big), if it doesn't work, renting a car a few times a year is more than offset by my fuel savings the rest of the time.

Had a 100 mile range EV been available at a significant cost savings, I might have done that and started renting now for range reasons rather than space reasons.
Oops! I certainly should have!
So they didn't find him guilty of those counts, but they still sentenced him as if he had been convicted? That's quite odd.
>Or another classic is automating document inflow. You put all forms of type X into an automated scanner and that'll send the files to a network share and then a cronjob will name the files and sort them for you. Not only do you save one employee (e.g. $4k monthly fully loaded) but you also never have things delayed by vacations or sick days, thus making the entire company more reactive to customer demands.

Funny enough I actually was assisting with doing just this for a western US state when they adopted Obamacare. We used Activebatch to process incoming applications. It was such a great "drag and drop" workflow with additional provisions for handling failed steps, handling cases where the server doing the works starts to fall out of normal parameters (gets overloaded or some resource goes missing) and so much more.

Despite all this and us over-provisioning the servers, the avalanche of applications coming in were so much that we totally managed to overload our servers anyway and had to rush to add so much more capacity.

I wish there was something as easy to use as Activebatch available as an open source option. It is such a hidden gem that is hidden away because the company that sells it are idiots that wall it behind "enterprise sales". The best I can find is Apache Airflow but it does not stand a candle to Activebatch for ease of use.

God there is SO MUCH I want to automate in the world but the biggest hurdle that stands in the way is that actually manually coding all this crap is a massive hurdle and that drag and drop with intelligence and the ability to customize when running workloads is a much better option.
Because there are high quality alternatives that are free and have no DRM there's no price point I would buy it. The only scenario I would is if I wanted to read a specific translation.

Question Copyright shuts down (but the site will remain)
Apparently there was a job interview "trick" a while back that said that perfectionism was a great option to answer a question for your weakness with a strength.

I never understood who would think this. A core problem of real world economy is that you never have enough time and need to manage it accordingly. The sad truth is, if you dont compensate you will never finish your task as a perfectionist. You will always get half backed solutions that your boss needs to tear away from your very protesting hands. It requires working on yourself to not do that.

A lack of problem appropriate resource management is very much a weakness you need to overcome.
Archiving doesn’t mean what you think it means; ripping a disc and then preserving the file so you can watch it on your phone is not “archiving”.

The congress has added a process for the rule-making authority to draw bright-line distinctions for actual archivists to archive things, and they have done so. It’s just that it only applies to people who are actually archiving, not people who want to violate the terms of a license because they think they’re entitled to for some nebulous hand-wavy reason.

The rest is just being mad that people who own a thing, in this instance copyright to a work, are allowed to do whatever they want with their thing. Rights holders are not people who are temporarily holding something which belongs to mankind, quite the opposite. It’s their thing, they can do whatever they please with it. If you don’t like it you can kick rocks.
I think ssh on a non-standard port is a no-brainer, have been doing this for years.

But at some point I got too many log entries of failed ssh access attempts. So I looked into fail2ban, but found the system too involved, and I don't like python for this kind of thing to start with. Then I started looking for alternatives, because I figured you only need something very simple, that checks certain log files and then instructs the kernel through netfilter to drop traffic from all infracting IPs. I like single-binary applications, especially for things installed outside the normal package manager. Found a skeleton of a golang app that claimed to work (it didn't), but I managed to rework it, and it serves my use cases: https://github.com/pepa65/fail2drop
Actually neither. I’m an American who cares about our country prospering long into the future and California is a huge, huge component to that whether you like it or not.

One of our most technologically innovative and naturally productive regions putting itself in a tax policy chokehold is Strictly Bad. Certainly so for the majority of Americans, at the very least.
If you extend this policy to "consuming a video/image/text message," that would be dystopian. But this is about porn. Maybe it'll be a slippery slope but I doubt it.

I wouldn't vote for this policy but I get it. Lots of people don't want kids watching porn. And it's not just social conservativism, people across the political spectrum think porn is addictive, psychologically damaging, and leads to sexual dysfunction.
Yes it's quite worrisome indeed. highest state tax, most mismanaged budget, welfare black hole, high living expenses aren't enough to remind an average californian how futile their existence is. More property taxes will build some character.
It's just insane the number of tiny investors that got crushed financially by the last crypto hype cycle, that they are trying to reignite another cycle so artificially and that they might get away with it seems so socially nihilistic.

Permutation City is so good! I haven't ran into it in the wild before but excited to check out his notes. It's a favorite and highly recommend.

I like Goodreads for tracking everything I read and collecting all my reviews, which are just unedited thoughts that I can return to later and very rarely helpful to others. It's also fun to see what friends are reading. Just yesterday I was able to pull up my last two years of books to quickly give a friend a few recommendations based on their interest.

I find listening to books far easier but they have to be non-fiction (or a reread of fiction) and not too complicated. Cobalt Red, Outlaw Oceans and There Are No Accidents were all great listens from this past year. But it's the only way I get through the 2hr minimum of exercise my dog needs a day.
Though there are probably at least 10 anime series Americans know about (Pokemon, Naruto, Dragonball-z, Yu-gi-oh, Death Note, Demon Slayer, One Piece, etc.) more often than Eva. Eva is a relatively strange anime in contrast. Is it that Eva is more "Japan"-coded than the other ones, which are more "American"-coded, thus they would have an outsized impact overseas but not comparatively in Japan?
Not much. But it would be problematic for them if they ever have business dealings there.
Serious question: are you wickedly combative in all discussions, or just when you get the cold feeling that perhaps you might not know as much as you think you do?

If you look through the progressive responses you've given, you resort less to actual technical points and more to personal attacks. It's weird.

When you stop rage replying and take an honest look at how LiveView or StimulusReflex work - for you actually can build the next Figma with them - you'll see that the comparison between Access and a modern database is pretty apt.

I'm specifically talking about a dramatically higher ceiling of possibility in terms of the problems that you can solve.

If you'd rather exhaust yourself trying to make personal attacks than level up your current local maximum perspective, there's really nothing else I can tell you.
One neat pathfinding trick that I use for an in game GPS is to allow the user to specify multiple destinations and find the closest one. Rather than just running it multiple times, I temporarily add a synthetic node to each of the destinations and path to the synthetic node and then look at the previous node to figure out which one to go to.

Are there better ways?
Can We Imagine a World Without Work?
My wife, former librarian, introduced me to the rule of 50 of Nancy Pearl (famous librarian from Seattle Public Library). Essentially, if you aren’t feeling a book after 50 pages, you should feel no guilt putting it aside.

Recently, it seems Nancy has revisited the rule and adjusted for the 50+ crowd. If you are over 50, subtract your age from 100 and use that as your cut off for putting a book aside.

It is easier to turn AC at the wrong voltage into DC than it is to turn DC at the wrong voltage into the right voltage. Particularly if you care about efficiency of the device.
This is more or less true for whole of Europe. A look at historical GDP growth gives a big hint - around before 2010 the EU and USA were on par, after that while the US grew and innovated Europe has chosen bureaucracy, taxation and fighting with business aside from the state owned ones.
GP never said the government named it that. Besides which, "Star Wars" was not a term used only by lobbyists, even if they coined it. It's a very common name for that program among the general public.

I'm curious to know just how reliably one can filter access by country, and if there are resources for someone interested in doing it.
Sadly, the US, where I currently live, is quite behind in this. Considering going expat (not for this specific reason, but it doesn't help); any expats have recommendations of what countries have worked well for them?

Isn't it the opposite? The parent wants the people who don't want to pay their fair share of taxes to leave?

Every time a person cashes out their home that they bought for a couple buttons and some twine in 1982, then moves to Arizona to retire, California's tax revenue goes up, because the people that take their place actually pay appropriate property taxes on the 2023 value of the home.
I think Odin is the best language in this niche so far. And although I prefer it slightly to Zig, I expect Zig to eat Odin's lunch.

Odin seems to have procrastinated the important things that cause a language to really take off, in favor more trivial features. At this point I think Odin has crossed into the territory of being wrong in the direction of too many features rather than too few. While having not delivered important tools that would cause the language to accrete an ecosystem.

A must-have for wide adoption is a package/dependency manager. As I've said before: Just clone what Go has. Just take it, you need it to be popular, and you probably aren't going to do better. `import "github.com/whatever"`.

I believe Zig has already started on a package manager, while the sentiment in the Odin community is that the unnecessary concept of "collections" somehow solves the dependency problem.
Breville and De'Longhi are both pretty reputable designers of budget espresso machines. I haven't got much experience with the others, but coffee-wise there isn't a ton of difference between a $150 machine's espresso shot and a $1500 one. Mostly you're paying for better internals, higher sustained pressure, and more steam from your foaming wand.

As for what you're looking for; you want a machine with metal portafilters (the little handle thingy with coffee) at a standard size (usually 51-53mm) that loads regular old ground espresso, not capsules or packets. If you don't want to keep a burr grinder in the house, the Starbucks Espresso pre-ground bag is a good dark roast and I like Cafe Bustello as a light roast. The rest of the process can be found on YouTube, and is usually pretty standard across machines. Turn on power, fill portafilter with coffee and press it down as the machine heats up, put the filter in the gasket and then pour your shot. It's not easier than a Keurig cup, but probably faster than a pour-over.

Stories like this make me wonder if we're truly better off with anonymous Internet traffic.

(I'm not advocating for a change; I'm just unfamiliar with the arguments for both sides.)
Thanks for sharing this. I had the pleasure to work with Don Eyles in a previous job, he is a brilliant man, didn’t realize he had written a book. I actually didn’t even realize who he was initially when I first met him until another co-worker told me of Eyles’ history.
That account is not led by a person with performance knowledge despite what the name suggests.

Previously, its author failed to profile the code and use existing package which does the vectorized sum suggested by multiple people and was comparing the code where the compiler couldn't prove it doesn't go out of bounds versus pointer arithmetics.
The comments to other posts of that account pointed that out yet the feedback was completely ignored. It's a skill issue to try to want to use FFI for this over implementing a function in C# out of personal spite.
Yeah, it's hard to hate a country for attempting to protect their culture. Kudos.
In my C# days, before CI/CD was fashionable, the pinnacle for me was using the "Deploy" button that would compile, run some tests and then deploy. Got a bug? Fix in 5 minutes. Got a typo? Seconds.

Code and software quality was surprisingly better than it is today.

Today? In a process heavy company with Jira, PMs and QA it can become a week-long affair, unless I (the lead developer) bypass parts of the process.

The perfectionism is in the process, but the outcome is not quality. Come to think of it, perfectionism never really leads to anything of quality.
having worked at several places for a while, you end up changing the tracking system url over time. This has happened to me at the job I worked at for 8 years, the one for 3 years (actually more than the others), and the recent 10 year tenure.

The first place was pre-jira popularity and we maintained our own system, or used systems from our clients.

The second place was a game studio and had many more bugs than any other place I've worked. One game title we had, we had around 29k tickets, and cleared out 7k in our biggest week. The speed of the UI actually impacted the effectiveness of our throughput at one point. We started with Traq, then hansoft. But I think jira won out over hansoft due to the ability to customize it and then sony just maintaining a jira for us that their teams used to coordinate with us, so kinda a no brainer.

The last one is interesting as Amazon has many tracking systems, and even if you use jira, over time the jiras were so crowded they had several, we used jira-4 (out of 7 or 8) before I setup one for our org. At twitch we've been consistent on our use of one jira instance since i've been there, but we've changed the url I think 4 times since during my tenure.

In all of these places we've had many codebases that outlasted the urls. All of those places I've been we just use the short numbers like AND-3421.

In the cases I needed to click them I could just use alfred or a tampermonkey script. It's a lot shorter as well.

I had a play with Odin late last year and it was a blast.

It needs to get to a more finalized state, design wise, and a good package manager for adoption and I suspect it will do really well.

I'm toroughly excited for this language's future.

As all LLVM languages, debugging is really easy. Please help Odin succeed in whichever way you can!
I mean a town in Tennessee recently outlawed homosexuality in public. I can easily see this being applied to anything with LGBT material, sexual or not.

That said, yeah, I get the motivation. I put this in a similar category as the regulatory response to Airbnb/Ubers of the world: it seems like a better outcome may have been possible if the companies didn’t totally and flagrantly shirk their social obligations to begin with.

Better than going to your existing Big Tech management and shareholders. France is supporting "Buy Local" at nation state scale. When the US "grows and innovates," it's mostly extraction at scale for shareholder benefit. Railroads (precision scheduling), healthcare, finance (credit card rails 3% economy rake, financialization of all the things), shareholder investor owned utilities, tax prep, etc.

It's always nice to see a country push back on the tech/intellectual property equivalent of the East India Company concept. Colonialism and empire building isn't dead, it simply expresses itself as multinationals on top of capital markets in the current incarnation. Don't invite the vampire in. When someone says "GDP" or "growth," politely ask them to show whom is benefiting (and to what degree) from numbers championed from a spreadsheet.
