Private corporations can't imprison you (well not without government blessing) and take away your basic freedoms, the government can. Also, the Bill of Rights & Constitution is by and large meant to protect you from the excesses of government and not private citizens, regular laws are meant for that, mostly at the state and local level. That's always been the legal distinction in the USA
I believe I read somewhere that they changed this a few months ago, along the lines of promoting new content or something. For me, I've been 100% uninterested so far.
I just switched from an old analog Weller to the Pinecel and I have to say it was a wonderful upgrade. The weller was retired to just do heat-set insert nuts, while I use the pinecel probably an hour or more a day, in short bursts. The fast heating ends up being very useful, and it just works, like the Weller just works. I don't modify any settings or talk to the processor.
Speed limit signs are almost useless, especially if not enforced (preferably by speed cameras, preferably without announcing their location with signs).

The correct solution to get that guy to stop is to make the street less deadly by design. It should be narrowed, made more winding and have visual 'clutter' added like trees, flower planters, etc. It should be intensely uncomfortable to speed more than 5-ish mph, and people who choose to do so anyway need to meet a traffic calming measure and be on the phone to their body shop well before they speed up enough to endanger a life.
Income is inversely correlated to fertility. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1328574/fertility-rate-w...

A reminder that if you an internal-only server where the typical http-01 verification connection method will not work, one can use dns-01 by using DNS aliasing/CNAME, especially if you cannot easily/dynamically update DNS records:

* https://dan.langille.org/2019/02/01/acme-domain-alias-mode/

* https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/technical-deep-dive-se...

So if you want a cert for www.internal.example.com, you will first have do a one-time change to have a _acme-challenge.www.internal… CNAME created to point to any other (sub-)domain where you can easily update things dynamically, e.g., www-internal.example-dnsapi.com.

When request the cert for "www.internal…", LE/ACME will look up the corresponding _acme-challenge record, and go to "_acme-challenge.www-internal.example-dnsapi.com. The nonce token will be there in the 'final' destination following the CNAME in a TXT record, which shows LE/ACME that you control the DNS chain.

To do the DNS updating, you can use a CLI/Python library like Lexicon, which supports dozens of APIs:

* https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon
No, libsystemd did this because it’s a library. They went with pthread_at_fork as an alternative to detect when the application code forked, but it’s not without its own set of risks. Of course they could have required the user of the API supply the PID everywhere to avoid this but it’s possible even that wouldn’t solve the problem and it complicates the UI and the UI of the library API is equally important as other technical details - it’s a design tradeoff and judging it as some kind of correctness thing without having a clear picture and insulting the authors out of hand is weird behavior.
Except for all the all remote companies doing well, for whatever mysterious reason.
I'm going to translate your comment in how it sounds to me:

"I've spent a lot on embedded development. In large part, I've done this because I've sought to make things unnecessarily complicated and because I like playing with this stuff. I will deride the typical tools used today by most embedded developers as toys. I will use these views to try and support an assertion that computing isn't effectively 'free' in a monetary sense"

It's not like any of this is that complicated. I've spent plenty of time building my own programmers for things; I've bitbanged SWDIO, programmed EPROMs and micros with a parallel port and shift register or GPIOs on other micros; made pogo pin things, etc. If I were looking to get things done, odds are I can spend a few tens of dollars and just get going, and design in a part that costs a few tens of cents for a whole lot of computing in historical terms.

> I want to dig into the raw power contained and hidden in unimposing millimeter (or centimeter) wide circuits. The re-programmability of microcontrollers or teeny-tiny computers, specifically.

Very little of this is arcane on modern devices. Even a couple of decades ago the "hardest" thing in common use was the need for higher voltages for EEPROM erasure. IMO, where things get interesting is where you abuse peripherals to do things they weren't intended to do, but even that isn't usually equipment intensive-- a 4 channel oscilloscope and a debug probe will get you a long ways.
Yes, consistency is key, but if you're smart about it, it doesn't have to be hard.

The trick is rather to make consistency easy. My own strategy there is aligned with most language enthusiasts: Make your input and conversations engaging! Make them so engaging you partake in those activities independently of the language, or better yet, in spite of the language. Make engagement automatic!

As an example, I've come to adore the French YT channel "ScienceEtonnante", and now watch anything published by it ASAP. I started watching it because I have a masters in physics, and found much of the jargon very easy to pick up as it's often similar to English. That left only the particularities of French itself for my brian to figure out. Now that I can simply lean back and enjoy the show, that is also what I do! It has become my favorite YT channel.
The biggest problem of the M2 Max: the games you mentioned are 3 of like 10 that run on it (might be more, I am exaggerating a bit).

I wish Asahi would move forward much faster and I could game on it, but at this point, gaming on a Mac isn't really a thing.

Just like most everything else in life, amphetamines lie on a spectrum. People like Paul Erdos[0] would disagree completely.

People who are prone to addictive behavior should stay away from recreational cocaine use. Meth is pretty destructive. But lots of people basically become functional (ADHD) on amphetamine.

Is this actually a fact that you can prove, or simply a belief?
I guess Apple had to do Vision Pro to make investors shut up, but I have a feeling it will be the next Pippin or Lisa. Apple does exceedingly well when there already is a growing mass market and they can offer something "better". Home computers (Apple II), PCs (Macintosh), smartphones (iPhone), tablets (iPad). They don't always succeed, e.g. servers, gaming consoles. There isn't a growing mass market for heavy and expensive VR headsets. And as the review states, their AR may be best in class, but it is still lacking. Ultimately, I don't know what question/need does Apple Vision Pro answer? Anyone has an idea?
What happened to the Processing Foundation?
Yep, that's true - also something I need to reflect in the guide is it's important to understand which jurisdiction you're under, since that'll affect your rights

Usually the terms of service you sign up to make it clear which jurisdiction disputes would be adjudicated in

For me, as a UK citizen/resident it was Ireland. Which is great since I've never been there, but I've heard their courtrooms are lovely in the springtime
Well Emirates does, but they really want new A380s. Especially if Airbus had done a NEO version that was more efficient (ideally with a new wing). But they’re not going to do that for just one (albeit large) customer.
In this scheme, by design, you get the income when the children are grown so it shouldn't yield the negative correlation. I specifically accounted for your concern and designed it to incentivize raising productive children.

Similar back when apps on profiles were a thing. Apparently doing things like creating a scoreboard for pokes was against the terms.
Someone tried this with an open source project I ran called bitmatch (now bitstring: https://ocaml.org/p/bitstring/latest/doc/Bitstring/index.htm...). They were running some scanning software that matched bits inside binaries, and felt they could threaten anyone who dared to use the word "bitmatch". Trademarks don't work like that since they only protect a narrow field of endeavour, not "no one can ever use this word".

They sent the C&D to my employer which made everything much more complex. I usually would have ignored it, but my employer's legal department was on my back about it, so I renamed the project to bitstring. For years my project was still top of Google search for "bitmatch". (I tried it now and I notice it's a different, Rust project, so the guy still didn't win in the end.)
But what is driving the housing prices up in the Nordics? Population decline would suggest weakening demand. The EU is famous for long lasting housing so lack of new inventory shouldn't hit supply side that hard.
This is a great writeup.

I am not a lawyer, but I've received several C&Ds for various things over the decades. The first one scared me to death. The second and subsequent ones did not, because I understood what they were: just the company saying "I don't like what you're doing".

When I receive a C&D, the first thing I do is talk to my attorney and go over what the C&D is complaining about. If I think I'm doing something that could be legally risky (which does not automatically mean doing something actually wrong), then I change that. Otherwise, my attorney acknowledges that the C&D was received and I ignore it. If they really have a serious beef with what I'm doing, they need to actually sue me. I have yet to be sued.

It's a lot more complicated than that. France has a higher GDP per capita than South Korea, but has a fertility rate of 1.7 vs .7.

1.7 isn't replacement but it's not national extinction. There's a cultural element here besides pure economics.

I like FMJ, but what I actually like is the first half in boot camp, and that is dominated by the sergeant's performance. Without R. Lee Ermey I think I'd be pretty indifferent to it.

People talk about 2001: A Space Odyssey like it is best sci-fi movie ever made, but all I can think of is it has extremely good cinematography, great sets, excellent practical special effects and stylistically looks ahead of its time. It left me completely cold. I have zero enthusiasm to watch it other than as a video slideshow. I appreciate these things, but not on their own, not as a movie.
Population decline lags affordable property shortages (see Japan [1], where property price declines are following after rural population declines). The results of fertility decisions take years, or even decades, to see (although total fertility rate and annual births is a lower lag indicator). For example, declining school enrollment in the US is from fertility decisions made half a decade ago [2], because that's about the time when those kids born would've enrolled.

If there is insufficient supply, housing prices go up.

Old men yelling at the sky
I worked on a controversial app. I generally take the letter then throw it into the trash. I did this for 4 years, never had an issue. Github was the only one that seemed to want blood - then banned me. They would send me weird emails, trying to trick me to admit fault. They would also track new accounts I made (ip) and send taunting letters. They gave up eventually too.

Looking back, these companies can send these things out for no cost, looking for you to mess up by replying. If they want to sue you, don't worry, it will happen.
Having used a Quest 2 and owning a Quest 3 personally I can tell you the delay is essentially zero. It takes 2-3 sec to get the headset fully secured around your head, and the Quest will wake up the very moment it starts to get moved. That's part of the reason it annoys me so much-- just moving the controllers will wake it up, even if it's sitting on my desk.
Sorry if its confusing, but selecting remote roles under location type (not location) will only show you remote roles.
"Parameter" vs. "Argument"
The premise of this article is that you somehow have to respond to it which is nuts. If the letter is ridiculous (e.g. citing terms of service you did not sign) then you're better off to ignore it and not waste money on legal fees. Also everyone who suggests getting a lawyer has probably not had to hire one in the past. With very few exceptions they will tell you it "depends" and maybe give you a few legal terms you can google. If you are lucky a good lawyer will give you their opinion on the merits of the letter but many will be so guarded it's not useful.

A C&D costs the sender almost nothing and is not the same as actually being sued. Very rarely are they serious enough to actually file something. If that does happen you should get a lawyer at that point, but doing it before is just a waste of money.
Supposedly they’ve already sold ~200k. Before release. Before reviews of it.

That’s still a far cry from “millions” (plural), but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Deepfakes of her any anyone have existed for awhile. There are paid services. /r/ exists (and has existed long before deepfakes) where people make requests of deepfakes of their high school classmates. Heck, bubble images have existed for forever and are definitely legal as all they do is leave it up to the imagination - quite effectively.

The recent Swift incident only seems noteworthy because many people were introduced to a cyber subculture of which they were previously unaware. But this subculture is 20+ years old.

Anecdotally, when I caught wind of the incident on /g/ a few days ago and saw some of the ridiculous muppet-swift images, I got a chuckle and asked my wife if she had heard of the swift news. She's usually "in the know" with pop culture because she listens to JJR.

To my surprise, not only had she not heard of it, but she was appalled and became very upset about the obviously AI generated image I showed her. She couldn't fathom someone generating such content. Even having the idea to generate such a thing seemed to break her world view. For me it was just another rule 34 chuckle.

Jobs publicly bemoaned the lack of, and presumably thought a lot about, "headphones for video". I think it's a safe bet that he set the stage for Apple Vision (and probably sketched out a 50 year plan) with current Apple leaders before his death.

I live in Brooklyn in Bed Stuy, and my neighbor who has lived here his entire life told me how he used to play football in the street everyday in the summer when he was a kid. There was always a pick up game, and when I asked he said occasionally a car would need to get past and they would finish the play, and then wave it by.

Today, I don't let my daughter step one foot into that street for fear she'll get swiped by an Ebike or an Uber driver in an Escalade doing 40.

Drivers today have an expectation of complete ownership of the streets, and kids lost one of their few play spaces.
There's the famous reallocation bug dating from 2016 that made me think reallocation wasn't supported, but yes, I've already filed my first unique gfortran compiler issue at the gcc bugzilla.
Yes, I view it as an amplifier for the existing management culture. If your system is supportive and focused on shared goals, RTO falls naturally into a balance where people come in when it makes sense (e.g. meaningful meetings & collaboration) and stay home when it does not. If your system is distrustful and based on dominance displays, which is far too common, the mandate is inflexible and transparently based on things like not expecting managers to be effective at measuring productivity, and it will be unpopular for those reasons. Both dynamics existed before the pandemic but the change in what people were used to and the current business climate demanding performative layoffs really cranked the intensity up.
I hate to ask a stupid question, but... So what?

The housing prices are extraordinary and the cost for people to live so far north is significant. Maybe we don't need a lot of people being born up north. There's certainly enough people on the planet to make up for any headcount-shortfall with immigration (and in Norway in particular, quite a few people born there move away these days because cost of living is so high).
It's funny how much things change over a decade, yet it never feels like anything is happening on a day by day, or even year by year basis. Just imagine going back 10 years in time and trying to describe to yourself what the next 10 years holds. You'd probably think yourself crazy! But to the point, in 2011 the US passed a law banning China from participating in the not-so-international ISS. The arguments given were that China had nothing to offer, and implicitly - that they'd just steal everything. Today, just slightly more than a decade later - they have one of the most advanced space programs on the planet, have built, launched, and manned their own space station, executed sample return missions from the Moon (the first since 1976!), and more.

What would you have thought the odds of that in 2011? And all of these things are the sort of stuff that is happening in just a decade. The world is changing extremely quickly (even if it often doesn't feel like it), and space tech is one of the fastest advancing industries right now. I think the best window into the future is the past. Look at the trajectory we're on, not necessarily just the US - but the whole world. It's a good one, at least as far as space goes.

They're not really tractors.

They sell land prep, crop sowing, and harvesting solutions.

It's not like a car. These things are used for a few weeks a year, and if they don't do their job during that time the farm looses all their income for the year.

A better way to think of them is like construction equipment that you rent. Even big construction companies rent their equipment.
The absolute psychosis of management around RTO is truly baffling. It’s very telling that in the face of no evidence whatsoever of negative effects of remote work even after several years their reasons for demanding return have become increasingly abstract and now they’ve reached the “because I said so” phase.

There effectively wasn’t a tablet market before the iPad.

You also forgot ‘mp3 player’ - which was a market not created by Apple but there wasn’t really a “growing mass market” - it was niche at best.
That’s true, but it’s also exceptionally rare.

In that version, you are fundamentally not a farmer, you are a marketer.

>And not every desktop PC has to be a gaming capable machine.

Yes, but desktop PCs not for gaming aren't really selling volumes nowadays, they're a tiny niche being eaten by notebooks and NUCs (also a niche) which Intel has been dominating as they had CPUs with iGPUs (basically APUs without the marketing) since ... forever.

>Power-savings will probably be even more relevant for organizations running hundreds of office machines and terminals.

When was the last time you saw organizations buy PCs for their workforce? In volume I mean, not just one PC for Bob who needed a CAD workstation, because then Bob most likely isn't getting an APU for CAD but some workstation with discrete CPU and some Quadro GPU.

Organizations mostly transitioned their office machines to notebooks a long time ago, even moreso after WFH became more popular so there was less need of PCs tied to a fixed location. PCs not for gaming or heavy compute workstations aren't big sellers anymore.
