Im not saying the pentesting tool is a honeypot, but thanks for asking.
> I have doubts about the idea "spend what you have". It is framing wrongly the problem. Money are not something "you have". Money are "a promise" to get something "in the future".

Around the time they switched to that frame, wages decoupled from productivity and what I might call working-class power started to get crushed. It is, and I say this at my most sarcastic, a miracle of modern economics that once we stop trying to measure how much we have in consistent units suddenly resources stop being a problem and big borrowers can just take what they need.

Although what I actually think is someone is getting ripped off really badly; I'm just not sure who. Hopefully retirees since I'm not one of them yet.
Presumably this is intended to support the argument that the entire world should adopt expensive, government run nuclear power that even France struggles to build these days rather than cheap renewables which are rolling out at a pace faster than nuclear ever has in history, and at a cheaper price?

I don't find it convincing.
Sorry to hear this. If you're now making the most you ever have, and continue to do so, hopefully if you live somewhat frugally and save, you ought to be OK in the long-term? Speaking as someone who for various reasons, mostly the need to support family members, doesn't have the big bucks a lot of tech workers have. I've no prospect of owning land or a boat. ;) Or a fancy car. But I don't really care. :) Vacations - well ours are fine, we go to nice countryside, but doesn't involve flights, hotels, eating out or anything fancy. Seems to me in the West, many expect a high standard of living and feel a failure if we don't achieve that. But people in poorer countries are happy with much less. When I worked in the USA, I noticed many immigrants lived very happy lives on a fraction of resources of their American coworkers/ peers. They hadn't got used to expecting that standard of living. Possibly their kids would be more "American" and feel like that had to have more. * Caveat : US healthcare system is a mess and can cause huge bills , for some people frugality and saving is outweighed by health costs. This system needs fixing IMHO
There's a lot of negotiations behind closed doors where we don't know how decisions are made. E.g. how the EC is formed.

EU is run in authoritarian ways, but so far it's in, let's say, benevolent dictator mode. But same mechanism can be easily abused. And it's already abused. Just in ways that don't affect day-to-day life too much. But overall it's very bad for the society which does not feel attached to decisions of it's servants. Which is the bad thing. Democracies can easily cause a lot of harm (e.g. wars, repressions etc) too. But authocracies ruin societies for a loooong time. Wether they spilled blood or not.
The Courts already have mechanisms to limit "unlimited" subpoenas or requests for discovery. Requests for the software source code or similar, bug reports, and other reports of issues are or would largely not be unreasonable where the key issue is reported thievery, fraud, and mismatched data based on software as the basis for the allegations and prosecution.
I'm following this from the UK. I watched the first episode of "Bates vs Post Office". It's interesting to see that the Horizon system, set up in 1999, was a client-server model with a box in each post office syncing with a central server. I'm surprised they thought this would work back then, given the challenges like network problems, failures and backup and the sheer volume of data. To me, it seems like the technology wasn't available back then. They had a big idea for a paperless system, and the tech team scrambled to build something without checking feasibility.

There always exists that one institution which will not accept your diacritics and usually it's a bank, city hall, tax office, or an airline.
But it did work, and in proportion to the threat the migrants posed, it didn't take that long. Following agreed upon international conventions is also important to a country in the long run.
Heavier phases settle. Heavier elements will rise to the surface if they go into lower density phases. This is exactly what happened with uranium, which is concentrated by a factor of 1000 in the Earth's continental crust.
The modern relational database is a near-miracle of human engineering. In the software field, it's probably only surpassed by the operating system, and maybe (or maybe not) the web browser.
So... let's assume many users do this, and let's assume Google factors in the opening rate into the transactional-email-likeness score, and that transactional-email-senders become widely aware of this...

Then senders' incentive will become to make the subject line into clickbait for the content, so that you'll open the message. So instead of subjects like "Order placed", "Order paid", "Order shipped", "Order out for delivery" you'll get uniform subjects along the lines of "IMPORTANT UPDATE TO YOUR ORDER". You will lose efficiency getting through your emails, and over time the metric will lose its indicativeness. Everybody loses.
Finally ! Keyword-only arguments are the best to build reliable software.

It's a bit like the redundancy of classes that led to attrs and dataclasses. It's the obvious next step.
Without all the financial abstractions and acronyms, they ultimately work like that. A household is a micro-economy that's connected to the outside world. The productive working members contribute to the well-being of the household. The children, the elderly or the disabled require spending and support. The home needs spending in order to keep it a safe and comfortable environment.
> I'd say, the smaller the country is, the more it does work like you househould budgets. Very small countries using somebody else's currency, works very much so.

The size isn’t that relevant. The degree of the autonomy over one’s monetary and fiscal policy is much more important. It certainly applies to big economies like the US. But it also applies for other economies that issue their own currency. At least it does for goods that are produced domestically

One of the big problems with British politics at the moment is that lots of people seem to think that if the BBC is less willing to pretend there are easy solutions with no downsides the government is ignoring than other parts of the media this is seen as them being in the government's pocket. Which isn't the same as not willing at all, they pretty systematically focus only on the downsides of government policies already - one of the examples that made HN was the UK Covid app, where the BBC treated using Google and Apple's framework as obviously better right up until the point the government launched a new app that did, when they immediately switched and focused only on the advantages of the old app due to it not doing so. They just don't do this as consistently as some other outlets.

That is, the minimum standard they need to meet in order not to be perceived as carrying water for the government is not just lying and misleading the public in order to get the ruling party kicked out, but doing so as aggressively and shamelessly as the most aggressive and shameless of their competitors (which includes social media to some extent).

What would be "well managed finances"? The objective is to improve the living, not how you manage the money.

At all points in history most of people were trying to do "things at the expense of someone else" (colonialism, feudalism, etc.). Borrowing and not repaying is one of the most reasonable ways to do that - I think it's a clear improvement from killing/enslaving people, so I think it's an improvement.
In an ideal world, of course!
Thanks for the project idea. That sounds amazing. I always forget about very useful bookmarks I have.
Of course. But if I do my own service that notifies clients over e-mail, then it is "marketing e-mail".
That file to keep track of things is a database though. Other databases just take the same idea a bit further ;)
I have this in my .bashrc

beep() {
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
file=/usr/share/sounds/purple/receive.wav
ret='true'
else
file=/usr/share/sounds/purple/alert.wav
ret='false'
fi

(aplay $file 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &);
$ret
}

Can be called like this:

$ command ; beep

Depending on the return value it'll give a different alert. It preserves the return value so you can still chain other dependent commands after it.

This depends on the libpurple sounds to be where they are (works in ubuntu at least)
Completely agree. I remember when Mongo / NoSQL was peak hype cycle, and every new project "needed" to use it despite being a big step down in terms of features, ability and maturity. A few years later I ended up on a system with Mongo as the database, started when Mongo was at peak hype. It was every bit as bad as I expected.

I have never seen a Mongo Based system that didn't work off of a single server, the one place where it did actually have an advantage.

I wish that were the only cause of miscarriages of justice in the UK... The whole British justice system is now beyond farcical. A quick read of The Secret Barrister [1] will leave one despairing for the state of the country.

Russia was bussing migrants without Finnish or Russian visas, in winter temps approaching -40C, through the Russian border and dumping them on the Finnish side, basically giving Finland the option of letting them in or allowing them to freeze death (because Russia certainly wouldn't let them come back). When Finland stopped letting them walk across, they magically procured bicycles; when the crossings down south were closed, they magically appeared in the far north. What other option is there than to close the border entirely?

Demand on timber causes manufacturers to go buy it from areas like Amazonia or Siberia, in both deforestation is now a serious problem. And it still requires a lot of energy to be spent on cutting and transportation.
Yesterday I learned that Bosnian 1992 independence referendum where a second largest community has refused to participate and the remaining ones are told to have voted 99.7% "Yes" is considered democratic. Of course that plunged them right into the civil war, but it does not seem that anybody has reflected on that.

What's the problem with solid majority of citizens deciding they don't want any more refugees then? Poland actually ran referendums like that and got 95% of "no thanks".
It's mostly in former British Empire territories, but rather famously US POTUS Bill Clinto got a Rhodes (IIRC).

Cecil Rhodes kicked it off on the back of mega mineral wealth extracted from South Africa (and surrounds, back in the day), and he wanted to support well rounded students into the Oxbridge education streams to mix with future UK diplomats, business leaders, politicans to expand the global web of interconnect ...

An important factor is which country we are talking about. Only the US really has access to this "glitch" by being the world's reserve currency. UK austerity was so brutal because there's no real demand for GBP, outside of trading with the UK.

To my surprise, I got few "champions" who spend >12h on a socket trying to get data that lead nowhere. And since there is ultimately a limit on number of sockets on a system, you can effectively DDoS that attacker.
What is your solution against inflation? The gold standard was proven not work, and it still saw inflation.
The opposite of austerity, stimulative spending (by printing money), has also been argued, by similar groups, to increase inequality due to the inflation of asset prices. Which way, left-leaning man?

> In fact, staff at Fujitsu, which made and operated the Horizon system, were capable of remotely accessing branch accounts, and had “unrestricted and unaudited” access to those systems

I worked in core banking systems for a bit. This is beyond basic, it demonstrates Fujitsu do not have controls in place to design compliant systems. Fujitsu should forever have their reputation tarnished and never let near financial systems. I don't often advocate selling a business to Tata, but this might be one of those times.

Indeed, the quirk of the Westminster system is that parliament can indeed legislate whatever it likes. Parliament can pass a law that the colour orange is now legally the new black.

There is however one detail, what is passed must be internally consistent with other legislation otherwise it will fall at Judicial Review. For example if you want to pass legislation that contravenes the UK's Human Rights Act, you need to include a "notwithstanding" clause to show the courts you intended to override that law.

They could pass a bill to vacate these convictions quite easily but unlike the Buggery Act and Offences Against the Person Act 1828, they still want to be able to prosecute and protect the convictions of a subset of these people who actually did commit false accounting so the legislation is going to need to be more complex.
I was replying to this

> Genuine question. With Rust and C++, even for embedded systems, what is the use case for starting a new project that does binary encoding and network with such an unsafe language like C?

And I gave a genuine answer :)

If you want to restrict the context to libwebsockets, I suggest you edit your question to clarify that.

Network code != libwebsockets.

I have written Ethernet-connected firmware without OS/RTOS on 8-32 bit MCUs that definitely would not be able to run libwebsocket.

There is a big world in embedded between PLCs and e.g. RasPi. That is often where you use C (in my experience).
That's not a knock-down argument, OpenStreetMap and open-weights LLMs are a thing.

EU lobbying isn't any worse than other political lobbying, both of which are bad.

What the EU does so, is managing to get 27 nations to work on compromises. And it does so quite well, sometimes better and sometimes not. That, obviously, involves a ton of politics (humanity hasn't figured out a different approach yet, heck, even the most authoritarian and absolutists governments had tons of politics). The core fact remains so: all participants in EU governance are either elected directly at EU or national level or nominated by those elected parties.
Voting to fire people working in government to lower costs is antidemocratic? In government, you aren't even fired but retired, allowing you to collect your pension and benefits. It's as humane a practice as it can be while addressing financial responsibility.

It's undemocratic to continue growing in perpetuity and not be held accountable to those who pay for it.

Yeah they work like a criminal's household budget. They steal every cent of income they have and when that isn't enough (because they are spendthrifts) they counterfeit more.
Ok, austerity bad, but the alternative isn't better. Either way it's the 'little man' who ends up paying through the nose.

The article mentions how war time economy is evidence how the society can do whatever it wants, and implies this should be done during peace time too. And then later in the article mentions how war time leaves the economy heavily indebted. So you can do the same during peace time - take on as much debt as needed to do everything. The issue with this approach is that this increases the money supply, effectively debasing the currency. Due to the Cantillon effect, the first people to use the new money will be able to spend it at 'old value', while people further down the line will get less and less value out of it.

If you're wealthy enough, you can short the currency by taking out debt, and buying assets. If the assets are yield bearing (dividend, rent), your income automatically adjusts for increased money supply. If you depend on your wage, tough luck, wages are last to adjust, so you just keep silently getting poorer.

So there's no free lunch. Either explicitly or implicitly, the poorest pay the most.

I don't think that's a predicament though. It's just that the answer likely doesn't lie in the extremes. A prudent enough government should be able to navigate this by not devaluating the currency too much, yet also taking on reasonable amounts of debt to fund the functions with the highest ROI.

By mentioning Bach, you proved my point. That is, tastes change. Bach is no longer top of the charts either.

Put another way, the author's argument is effectively "the music I like and the music I grew up on is no longer the genre of the mainstream." Wow. That's insightful. Life moved on? As if he's never read a history book.

What about HLSL, specially since it is a kind of C++ flavour, specially after HLSL2021 improvements?

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/opening-hlsl-planning...

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/announcing-hlsl-2021/

At Vulkanised 2023 discussion round Khronos admited that they aren't going to improve GLSL any further, and ironicly rely on Microsoft's HLSL work as the main shader language to go alongside Vulkan.

Maybe there is something else discussed at Vulkanises 2024, but I doubt it.

There was some SYCL work to target Vulkan, but seems to have been a paper attempt and fizzled out.

In addition to the RSPCA example, banks/financial institutions bring a fair number of complex fraud prosecutions because it is in their financial interest to prosecute people who've defrauded them. But private prosecutions are indeed an anomaly and can lead to some weird outcomes.

A few years ago, someone brought a crowdfunded private prosecution of Boris Johnson for "misconduct in public office". The whole thing was incredibly silly and a massive waste of time. (MIPO isn't there for politicians lying/misleading people, though that does indeed suck.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_v_Johnson

Also, following the murder of Stephen Lawrence, the CPS decided to not prosecute for lack of evidence. The Lawrence family brought a private prosecution which failed. Jeopardy attached at that point.

Later evidence emerged which made the case a lot stronger, but had the Criminal Justice Act 2003 not been passed allowing limited exceptions to the double jeopardy rule, it would not have been possible to bring much stronger cases against the perpetrators.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Stephen_Lawrence

The CPS have the power to take over and stop an ongoing private prosecution, but the ability to bring private prosecutions sits really uncomfortably with the principle of double jeopardy. Like, someone could do a bad job of bringing a prosecution in a case where the CJA2003 double jeopardy exception doesn't apply and then the person can't be retried by the CPS.
