Ukraine can hold out until the West gets its production (of all systems) back in line with worldwide requirements. Russia has already received the 1M shells, and they are of poor quality. But even at a 50% failure rate, they've had an impact.

The F-16 is actually the best choice. There are multiple users worldwide, so lots of training facilities, lots of spare parts depots, and almost every NATO weapon is qualified on it. The Gripen would be great if it wasn't needed for a few years; the production rate is too slow to fulfill Ukraine's needs and the Swedes have no desire to send stock from their own air force. Can't blame them really. They've been cutting back on their military like the rest of Western Europe for decades.

It is getting increasingly difficult for Tor exit operators to find ISPs that are willing to let the relays "poison" IP space.

It should be compatible with app stores. How would the inability to swap out the VLC library be any different from a program that you can't change because it's on a system managed by a sysadmin? Of course you, as a user, can run LGPL programs on mainframes or other third-party managed systems, this was a well known use case when the LGPL was written.
I always hear people talk about "it's scalable" in terms of scaling UP. To me, the value is in scaling DOWN. If you have a function that doesn't run continuously, there's value in executing it as a Lambda instead of keeping a server or Docker container up 24/7 to do the work. Same with other serverless technologies. If there is a period of time where there is complete inactivity, being able to scale to 0 is a cost benefit.
> complex systems are assumed to always be correct

..absent evidence to the contrary. But in the Post Office case, the Post Office had all the evidence, and refused to disclose it. As far as I'm aware, failure to disclose evidence that might help the defence is perverting the course of justice. I don't know why no manager's been charged.
Boeing supply chain is 500 miles long. Multiple suppliers for every part, and practically none of them are made by Boeing. I started my career in aerospace manufacturing. The whole supply chain is designed to track and shift liability down into the smaller suppliers, who can be easily replaced. That panel blew off your plane? Well who made it?!?! Where are the certs?!?! That vendor must've done something wrong! It surely wasn't us not tightening the bolts all the way.

> The plan, which was approved in 2017, sanctioned a Danish company to build a 120-megawatt capacity wind energy project — enough to power 40,000 homes by placing turbines 26 nautical miles offshore. The letter warned that the project would “irreparably damage beach tourism, home values and the economy,” “lower rents generally,” and produce “no environmental benefit.” “In fact,” the letter claimed, “regional air quality would become worse because of them.”

> While the letter was signed by a local resident, it made little mention of its true author: the Caesar Rodney Institute, a libertarian think tank at the time funded by the oil industry. The subterfuge was intentional. In an interview with the State Policy Network, a group that coordinates best practices for oil-and-gas-backed and libertarian think tanks, the Caesar Rodney Institute said it produced the letter and had it signed by a local concerned beach homeowner to “establish rapport” with the target audience of local residents and merchants.
Yes it's an interesting point. At first I was horrified that it is so, but then the alternative is to require proof that a system is reliable, which no one could provide. It would need to be somewhere between, talking about best endeavours or something. It sounds messy however you approach it.
> This is very natural, and consistent with standard mathematical notation.

Which mathematical notation? One of the first things a student of linear algebra gets taught is that you cant add scalars to vectors. The example you gave is not what is taught in most math classes, and seems weird to everyone unless you come from Bourbaki camp.

> Broadcasting with arrays is very natural if you interpret an array as a function of its indices. It is exactly the same thing as above!

But an array is just a contiguous data structure, not a function of its indicies.

It's funny, I started in the C64 era and have probably used a CLI for something roughly every day since then. But for me, using a CLI is still just a necessary evil - give me a GUI (or TUI) instead and I'll always take it.

The reason is that my memory sucks, and has always sucked. If I'm not typing a command every day, I'll forget it very quickly. If I am typing a command every day it's probably an alias or a script I've written to save myself some time so the "real" command is already forgotten. So in reality if it's not cd, ls, less, sudo or grep the chances are that I've forgotten it.

Where the CLI really shines is automation. Software I can control with a CLI in a script is amazing. So what I really want is for everything to have both a GUI and a CLI. I realise I'm asking a lot.

Watched the Mr Bates 4 part series, and a few things didn't make much sense to me.

The balancing. Perhaps because more was cash, but I would have expected some logging to have shown "at 4pm, the account had cash on hand of X pounds. at 4:08pm, the account had 2300 pounds less". Would that not have been useful? But watching (yes, it was a dramatization, but it didn't seem like much), it seems like PO did not want to admit any fault, ever, at all, and just kept sticking to that far beyond the time when they could have just cut their loss, held up their hands, and said "hey - problem identified, we'll fix it".

If I sold 5000 pounds of stuff, and should have received 5000 pounds, and... I have 5000 pounds on hand, but the computer says I have a shortfall 1000 pounds... how is that defensible?

Where did the money 'go'? If I had 4000 pounds on hand, but the computer then said I should have 6000, and I'm short 2000 pounds... why wasn't that discpreancy noted?

Also.. what was the motivation behind all the changes? The whistleblower seemed to indicate this was remote people at horizon "fixing" things by hand. Were these all just 'accidents' no one owned up to? The drama seemed to indicate there was some intentional retaliation against some people, but it couldn't have been intentional in all cases. But also... it doesn't sound like anyone at Horizon stole that money, they were just changing figures in a system.

Because it lets them make the implication that the Democratic party is un-American. And also that somehow the language is unfairly biased against them.

It's absurd, just like the bizarre fetish for using the term "Democrat party" as some kind of slur. But that's the essence of American politics now: a constant culture war, where the primary thing people want out of elections is to hurt the other side rather than pursue actual political goals.

You cannot rely on all Muslims not having alcohol. Most Muslims I know (not an unbiased sample for multiple reasons!) do drink alcohol.

Social pressure may mean people drink with friends but not in front of family or their community, or keep alcohol in their bedrooms and drink alone? Both certainly happen (no idea how much, probably varies wildly between communities).

> in my city, there is NEVER DUI accidents. We just have never heard of them

How often are drivers tested for alcohol? How good is prosecution and reporting? Can people bribe their way out if caught?

> Neither do we have alcohol overdose or an alcohol epidemic that requires assistance of alcoholic anonymous and other groups.

Again, you may the the problems but not the help because the existence of the problem is not publicly acknowledged.

It is even worse of you try to compare on a national level. There might be smuggling and home brewing.

Most importantly, any religion will cause multiple lifestyle changes. In the case of Islam some are obvious - not eating pork, Ramadan fasts, prayer times. Religious ideas change attitudes to sex, money and career, family life - pretty much your entire lifestyle.

It is even worse on a national level. A lot of differences between the US and the UK can be traced to differences in the different branches of the same religion that was dominant.

The most obvious is politics. In the 80s and 90s the largest Christian church in the UK was criticising the government for policies it regarded as not fair on the poor (welfare spending etc.) and most people belonging to the second largest voted for an outright socialist party. We do not even have a noticeable "religious right". Different from the US!

More relevant to the topic at hand is the huge and obvious difference in attitudes to alcohol. Similar differences between historically Catholic and protestant countries in Europe.
> The LGPL gives end users the right to replace the LGPLed part with a modified version, and users presumably cannot alter parts of a downloaded Unity app.

You can use LGPL software on a multitenant mainframe system, where you don't have access to modify installed software. This was a well known use case in the 80s and 90s, so this doesn't seem appreciably different. The LGPL doesn't seem to require you as a software developer to ensure that the user can run the modified software on the same system on which the App Store version is run, mainly it's to make the source code available so they can, in principle, create a modified version that they can run somewhere.

In my opinion economic growth is mostly fueled and sustained by population growth. And population growth depends on various societal, industrial and scientific advancements that often also coincide with EROI improvements.

Yes. You can argue that it shouldn’t pay so well, or that there are bad actors, but the financial industry DOES genuinely help society. Like all businesses, they provide services that people want.

The easiest example is insurance (e.g. home or auto insurance). Paying premiums sucks, but losing your house is an unimaginable loss for most people. Finance as a whole is a risk transfer mechanism. You transfer the risk of your car getting totaled to State Farm. You might even own some State Farm stock; probably you own some exposure to the risks of American companies, and they pay you for that risk (in expected stock growth).

The other easy example is mortgages. Ask anyone from Europe or even a third world country how easy it is to get a 30-year ARM or 10-year fixed like is common in the US. Lenders might have caused the financial crisis (no disagreement here) but post-crisis Americans are able to buy homes because the financial industry is ready to evaluate and lend.
I was wondering when this was going to breach the Zeitgeist. I've been reading about it for a while now. I'd really love to watch the recent show about it (that apparently triggered the awareness of it in the U.K.) but I can't find a way to watch it on any of my streaming services in the U.S. Does anyone know how to see it in the States?
You've almost certainly told them not to use the data (either any data, or just YouTube watch history, which have separate controls), and they're honoring that request.

But you've now built some contorted mental model where you think they must obviously be lying about while also being completely incompetent at using said data. Just how hard is it to believe that they're not lying in the first place?
It's easy to believe. The massive ecological destruction caused by the oil and gas industry is well documented. Whatever downsides there are to wind mills, pale in comparison to that.
I don't understand what you mean. Precisely the Bourbaki camp would be the only people who would avoid the broadcasting notation that is commonly used in math.
Exactly!!

I've not had any cable or OTA TV since before 2006. The only thing I miss is Formula 1 racing (which DVR'd and watched over the following week), and it's now finally online if I need it. Been more than fine with streaming content.

When I encounter it in waiting lobbies, it is really jarring just how much cable TV is relentlessly stupid.
It's not quite that, anybody in the UK can bring a private prosecution in the UK if the want, so the Post Office was not a special case here. It's really uncommon today, due to the cost, etc. and what often happens is that the "Crown Prosecution Service' which is the government organisation repsonsible for prosecuting crimes normally can 'take on' a prosecution and then choose discontinue it, which effectively stops it. Note that this is only the case in England/Wales, in Scotland the system is quite different. With that said, there are several organisations that do it still - the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) still regularly brings private prosectuions.

Historically, all prosecutions were private, and later, the police who investigated them carried them out.
It depends.

Finance genuinely helps, there's no doubt about that. But I think there are diminishing returns. A deeper market with a greater variety of lenders always helps, but it's not clear to me that a very large/varied market is much better than a large/varied market.

Anecdata: the founders/startups where I live had a lot more bad stories to tell twenty years ago than in the recent past. Just from hearsay in one sector of one city, Silicon Valley has a better financing environment than here today, but even if the graph in the WSJ article shows a bigger gap, the stories I've heard tell about a smaller gap. Maybe that sector has grown to pass a usability threshold here, and the US has grown more without passing a threshold. I wouldn't know and all I have is hearsay, but the hearsay is enough to make the doubt what the WSJ graph really shows.

I realise that there are fields where the US has no peer. If you want to finance a takeover as big as Twitter, then you really need big debt markets, and the US has by far the biggest. I feel, intuitively, that that may not be well connected to the greater economy or the health of median companies, though.

If you're running a complex modern site and decide to do away with cookie banners, you generally need to pair this with browser automation that crawls your site and verifies that you (and your dependencies) are in fact not setting any cookies.

A Suprising Discovery Inside the Steam Deck's APU
Its funny, back when I want to college I had a CS professor who referred to himself as "an otherwise reputable computer scientist who sometimes gets on Airbus airplanes".

That was in reference to the difference in philosophy between Boeing and Airbus about whether the pilot or the plane's computer should get the final say in emergency situations, with Boeing letting the pilot override the plane and Airbus having some protections that won't allow the pilot to do something dangerous (I'm sure I'm oversimplifying or misconstruing details, I'm not a pilot or aviation engineer and it's been a couple of decades since I heard this particular rant).

With the last few years of Boeing's misadventures I wonder what he'd call himself today, "an otherwise reputable computer scientist who sometimes gets on modern jetliners"?
nice, learned something from it !
This is something I can't live without either. I'd recommend people try this before trying to incorporate fzf, ctrl+r, etc into their workflows since it's simpler and probably covers 99% of your needs.

> I do think that modern cars should be fitted with a black box device with the owner having ultimate control over access to it, so they could submit it for evidence to prevent miscarriages of justice

I’m not sure this is workable: if the owner had control, there’d be a cottage industry of people offering to fake evidence against camera tickets. If the owner doesn’t, it’d get requested by police and insurance routinely and since most drivers regularly break local traffic laws that’d have a big negative impact on the owners, which makes me think it’s politically infeasible. Insurance companies might try to mandate that but I imagine they are very careful about changes which could shift customers.
Because of ideology. They’re both inquisitive but one veers to close to other subjects considered fanciful such as simulations or some creator force, whereas the other seems to seek other types of scientific explanation.

Which is, I suppose, literally true. Any government exists to mediate conflicting rights, and that means limiting freedom.

For many self described libertarians, that conflict is to be decided entirely in favor of their liberties and everyone else's liberties don't matter. Democracy is inherently about everyone trying to have some freedom, which comes at a cost to Peter Thiel's, and apparently that's the only one that counts.
