GDPR for example has done nothing to protect people from this particular case of data misuse.

The problem with English law, is that you have to explicitly declare what is wrong a head of time. So we just end up with endless needs for regulation ls.

If we had legal systems like Hammurabi Codes, they work work way better.
> will vary wildly

Neptune is about 30AU from the Sun. The Earth's distance from Neptune will presumably vary somewhere between 28AU and 32AU. Light travels 1AU in about 8 minutes, 28AU in about 224 minutes, 30AU in about 240 minutes, and 32AU in about 256 minutes. Depending on your use-case, that's not a particularly wild variation.

Women are so superficial (cringe)

This essay reads as if someone has too much time on their hands and is so self-absorbed that you get blog post titles like this and my god what on earth did I actually read?
Why though?

How is that better than what we have now, where a system can be easily modified in-place without every distro needing dozens of forks for each slight preference change?

What exactly is it you're advocating for?
I don't see why not. Simple visual inspection confirms if it does what you expect, unlike languages that use braces.
This looks too easy, the first solution. If there is no logged on user, which User object is fetchUser going to return? Which friends? At the top level, if I were to forget to check if someone is logged in, who knows what would happen here.

I've worked on codebases where people were so allergic to the "billion dollar mistake" of nulls, that they created empty objects to return instead of returning null. This bit us in the ass a couple of times, e.g., when caller code was mistakenly passing the wrong ID variable into a fetch method, and just happily continued working and writing garbage into the DB, because it did not realize that its fetch had actually failed. It took data from the empty result object and happily continued its computation with it.
I'm curious how spaced repetition is applicable to tactics? I don't dispute it, it's been popular since The Woodpecker Method [1], but I never quite got the point. Intuitively, spaced repetition helps memorization, but tactics is about learning patterns and maybe generalizing ideas. What's your take on what it brings to tactics?

You could solve that with a git alias as well which might be a bit more orderly as it would be defined in the git config. You can prepend the command defined for a git alias with an exclamation mark to run anything (not limited to git subcommands). Last example on this page: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Git-Aliases
Sure, but that is denying the reality of the moment / endorsing the fantasies of the past. I fail to see how pointing out the actual reality of hiring statistics correlates at all the fascist conspiracy theory. This is not "hating men".
Read the short story just a few weeks ago. It's still one of my favorite. So beautiful, so haunting.
Well no because people in already warm humid areas will be the first to experience this sort of heat, plus they tend not to have widespread air conditioning, plus they tend not to have the wealth necessary to fix the problem of no widespread air conditioning.

The last to die will be the people who are most harmful to the environment on a per-capita basis. Before then, you’ll have socioeconomic disruption in warm countries, creating masses of people fleeing to cooler climates, creating political openings for xenophobes and unsavory characters throughout the western world who will take it as a key goal to preserve our right to pollute, now return to step 1, cycle repeats and amplifies.
Yes, the fan cannot cool. But have your ever experienced the cold water tap being cooler than the ambient air temperature? They mean that they soak a rag in cold water, from the tap, and then apply that to themselves. This will 100% help cool the person down. You could run a cold bath, take a cold shower, even drink the cold water (but not too much too cold!) If you have cold water, you can survive.
Pure speculation, but why I'm reminded of the instruction to reboot your 787 regularly, preferably with staggered reboots of the electric buses?
I think what you're pointing out is systematic risk for all social media or companies driven by online advertising. You can think Reddit is a good play relative to those companies. Just buy reddit and short snap for instance

For instance, reddit has these things going for it:

Data - sure bots will influence Reddit but there are still a lot of users today. Sophisticated anti bot technology could help keep that somewhat down. Besides if gen ai becomes so good such that it can generate high signal training data for itself, presumably the bots could benefit Reddit. Sometimes I just want information or discussion, and I don't care if I'm talking to a dog on the other end

Low RPU relative to competitors - the demon is different than Facebook or Instagram but the rev per user is absurdly low and can probably grow somewhat

What twitter pulled off - twitter ditched something like 80% of it's staff and is pushing out product faster than ever. Think about how much it changed in the last two years. Editable comments, subscriptions, revenue sharing, blue checkmark for sale, alternative check marks for govts and org, culling of old accounts, API restrictions, forcing people to put parody in acct, xAI, long form video, prob more things I'm forgetting. If the right person decides to cut out all the bullshit and prioritize things like making the website not a flaming dumpster fire, no reason that couldn't dramatically impact usage
Why is it a pipe dream I know companies that use it. And it serves their purposes well.
If I am a corporation and I am willing to break regulations, how will you force me to use homomorphic encryption? Why should I pass on gathering data that I can resell?

The average buyer won't understand or care about it so there is no direct pressure from consumers. I think regulations is not optional (and homomorphic encryption may be mandated if viable?). Breaching regulations is often a "cost of doing business", but some recent regulations (such as GDPR) can actually create very large fines in many countries. So it seems that what may be needed is good enforcement and measured penalties. Another deterrent would be having penalties that are not money.
You've the exact same attitude. If something is easier and more convenient then people will use it
Spot enforcement with appropriate training and vehicle improvements is more than appropriate for numerous reasons:
1) Regression to the mean will happen with 100% enforcement/over-enforcement. The new standard for 'safe' will collapse to an unobtainable level which will not benefit society in the long run.
2) Safety is not my #1 concern. The number one cause of death on roads is being born. I value getting to my destination without being tracked more than the potential safety gains of strict monitoring. I believe in rational safety measures but "It's safer so we must do it" is an argument I no longer accept. I want to live a good life, not just a safe one.
3) We have seen time and time again that personal information collected by companies rarely benefits consumers and instead is always used to benefit companies. This is no different. I have negative trust in industry handling my data for my benefit.
I also like their Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) record retention period (3 minutes):

> Records of number plates read by each LPR shall not be recorded or transmitted anywhere and shall be purged from the system within 3 minutes of their capture in such a manner that they are destroyed and are not recoverable, unless an alarm resulted in an arrest, a citation, or protective custody, or identified a vehicle that was the subject of a missing person or wanted broadcast [...]

All sciences are progressively more impure (eg. Applied) forms of math.
It also probably makes it easier to prevent adversaries from being able to delid/reverse engineer products. When using FPGAs you don't even need to have the firmware/gateware on or near device until it's in use, which would help prevent any sensitive trade secrets from making it into the wrong hands.
From personal perspective, discussion quality has gone to the rock bottom on various subreddits. And platform is even worse when using from the browser. Other than that, no idea.
I feel that way about IT organisations. How can you hold politicians to such a high standard if every typical dev shop is cloud-native these days.

And who's going to provide the politicians a better way of doing it? Not only does IT lead by example in blind trust of the cloud, but they only sell their services that way also.
It's better than scp because it stores the commit message and the history, and old versions are immutable.
The content has suffered. It’s even shittier than it was a year ago.
This is also the reason there is a democracy deficit at the heart of the EU, the European Commission is unelected.
It's 100% the same. The official app isn't even that bad if you remove the ads. The biggest problem (powermods) still remains ironically after all of this. Bummer really, I thought they would use the opportunity to clean up
If it's so telling then tell us, enough with the dark innuendos!
> isn't talked much about is the promotion, and installation of homomorphic computing or homomorphic encryption

Sure, the car company will homomorphically encrypt your driving data when it sends it to its own servers.

You’re trying to solve a social problem with technology. That doesn’t work.
Can you explain why you think that way? Long covid gives people varying degrees of brainfog and debilitation ranging from simple forgetfulness all the way to being bed bound and needing round the clock care. It seems quite apt to me
I'm surprised those agencies cannot setup their own infrastructure to be honest.

We're not talking about high volumes of traffic, this is mostly internal tools for few hundreds/thousands people, of those few dozens at best concurrently connected?

With all due respect those are few servers worth of hardware plus redundancy, plus all the security you want.
The Mad Stone, the One-Time 'Cure' for Rabies
I think the numbers we need here are GDPs adjusted for PPP per capita and per hour worked. Unfortunately, I didn't find any statistic quickly. Some years ago, I looked at such numbers and some of the Scandinavian countries were doing very good. The Netherlands, France, and Germany were also pretty good.
Need to have an account to turn it off.
How closely have you looked at the data besides the increase?

Are these visitors coming from countries where you actively want customers? What pages are these entrances landing on? What are people searching to end up on these pages? What are these people actually doing on your site? Are they converting?
> I wonder, is the dual-use of GPUs a significant engineering bottleneck for Nvidia et al?

Not much. GPUs became array processing engines in the early 2000s and the amount of residual fixed function graphics hardware is tiny now.

The biggest thing is that a lot of network evaluation is being done at lower precision (BF16/ FP8 / ternary) now, but my understanding is that training the networks still requires FP32. As these companies are really targeting the training market the high precision modes needed for graphics can't be thrown away. If a company was to target the end user, then you could optimise for lower precision, but end users find dedicated neural net acceleration a luxury they can get for free by buying a GPU.
> GDPR for example has done nothing to protect people from this particular case of data misuse

You’re using one badly-written law to discard a category.

Why not look at the FDA? When was the last time you were poisoned?
From the article:

> This is highly related to the "Null Object Pattern", but I thought I would explain it from the perspective of functions.
I use it to get to the airport. No issue with luggage and cheaper than airport long term parking
Does it create a seamless p2p wifi connection between any pair of devices it's installed on?
It's amazing how they have destroyed that place. And there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Honestly don't read to much into this guys criticism. In sapiens at least, Harari provides a great overall overview of our species, society and history.

The criticisms basically boils down to one case of mentioning the wrong animal. the point about 'language' purely comes from the author choosing to use a specific definition of language that's different from Harari's definition.
The European Commission has been using Microsoft Office since the 1980s, so it’s hard to get rid of, given all the established processes and existing documents, and there were no significant data privacy concerns until the rise of telemetry and the push to the cloud a few years ago. But there are actual steps being taken to reduce the dependency.
In dollars, for sure.

In units sold?
Barring regulation, why would car manufacturers currently profiting off the sale of this data spend extra money voluntarily implementing something that cuts off their revenue stream?
Also the part where you talk about “recovery mode” I think we referred to this as DFU mode back in the day. “Device firmware update” I’m not entirely sure it was called “recovery” at the time though I could be wrong as it’s been more than 15 years
Which is why we need a home solar revolution.

The grid is going to have to undergo huge evolution, but increasingly corruption and political gridlock make that unreliable.

Plus home solar empowers you from centralized control and functions as the only free market alternative to the regulatory captured grid infrastructure.

Home storage with sodium ion and hopefully in 2-4 years sodium sulfur will drop costs 50%.

Also, your car an function as a secondary battery storage.
Certainly but I am not suggesting its entirely on the passengers but the culture of safety in a given region. In the US you have a before flight belt check and sometimes mentions during flight. In a lot of other countries I notice that flights are not as concerned about those belt checks.
LLMs are strangely-shaped tools
The other thing about cars in NH is that insurance is optional. I'm not sure what happens if someone legally driving in NH without liability insurance drives over the border into a neighboring state. I asked a lawyer friend once and he mumbled something about interstate commerce making it legal. I'm not how that debate would go when stopped by a cop in MA and asked to show proof of insurance.
I love tig. I have an ad-hoc fork of it adding a new window which displays a preview of the selected file in the diff prelude section of the diff window, so I don't have to navigate through the single window. It is very helpful to browse the files in a diff easily. (https://github.com/LucasPayne/tig) I swear I will clean up the fork soon, I just implemented it in whatever way worked.

I do something similar to what you are doing with Kakoune daemon mode, but I work in the shell within a vim context. I have bound "e" in diff/stage views of tig to send a message to the current vim to open a new tab for that file at that line.

I have not tried magit yet but am going to now to at least extract some great ideas from it and somehow get it in my current workflow.
Yes, good point. Not really realistic to my current set-up. I thought the gym would also be a place like that but not really - people are really focused and w/ their earbuds on.
Can you specify which jurisdiction you are talking about? I find it very surprising that the politicians could put in corrupt heads of agencies but not prevent handling out incriminating documents some other ways, sounds like the product of very interesting historical circumstances.
Airbus wisely decided to forgo AF1 sham of a competition.

The experience of mrtt a330 it bid for tanker replacement was enough. It of course went to Being KC-46.
It’s very subjective but Quality of moderation has dropped in my opinion. Things like giving moderators the ability to moderate anonymously (you can now conceal names of moderators entirely but on sidebar and in coms) has also result in power tripping moderators having a field day.

On the whole though the Reddit won - all the serious protestors left and the remainder (majority) folded
Not on my side. We dont throttle anything.
> use Google Maps for Navigation but Google or any other third party would have no idea where I am going

You don’t need homomorphic encryption for this, just local route processing. In the case of car data, the auto companies aren’t doing any useful processing of the data for the user. Homomorphic encryption is irrelevant.
You did the right thing, and I'm sorry this happened to you. May you only have to contribute to non-squashing projects in the future.

Ah yes, as Pullum timelessly put it, "To continue reading for FREE, please sign up". An un-walled version is (legitimately, so far as I know) at https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-file-manager/fil... .

[EDITED to add:] I don't know how close to identical this is to the Chronicle article; at the end it says "Adapted from an article written for The Chronicle of Higher Education"; my guess is that essentially nothing was changed, but I haven't tried to check.
Why the burgeoning economic development of full self-driving space needles! Sure, their former homes will be uninhabitable, but imagine how much they'll get selling the land? Why they'll be able to move to Antarctica if that's what it takes! I'm getting a tear in my eye right now over all that profit and shareholder value as we boldly evacuate the planet into the future!
On Safari, it’s also cleared after 7 consecutive days of not visiting a website, I believe.
Show HN: Async tasks in 350 lines of C
Tasks are a primitive for asynchronous programming and an alternative to working with threads directly. Instead of creating a thread, performing work, then waiting on it using synchronization primitives, you only define a unit of work and let a scheduler decide when and where to execute it. The threads that the scheduler uses are created once and reused for many tasks throughout the program's lifetime. In most cases, creating and executing a task requires not even a single syscall and is a significantly faster operation than creating a thread, resulting in lower latency. Furthermore, tasks from different subsystems can be automatically interleaved by the scheduler, which is difficult to achieve manually with threads without communication between the subsystems.

The library is written in standard C11 and only depends on the C POSIX library. It is designed to be easy to integrate into a project by just copying the header and simple enough to be understood in an afternoon.
even though I agree with your prediction, I do realise that we cannot foresee the future. Whatever you or I think is going to happen; it's going to be different than that.
I use LANDrop, another open source project, with satisfaction. The thing about LocalSend is its low transfer speed. Somehow it’s even slower than LANDrop and much lower than SMB or Croc.

I have also a very weird problem with detection: my iPad can’t send to my Windows PC, but my PC can! Restart server, turn off firewall … all no help. My LAN is a bit complex with VLAN so I didn’t report the issue because it might just be me.

However, LANDrop doesn’t seem to have the same problem. That’s weird square.
Use the original title per the guidelines.
German here. It's been blowing my mind for 20ys now how incompetent and naive our leadership (nation-wise but also on EU level) is.

The current German gov't silently issued a statement in December 2023 of IT license cost on federal level for the upcoming years which essentially was 6 billion EUR to Microsoft and Oracle.

1. They throw valuable tax-payer money at companies who do tax evasion.

2. They simply ignore the _fact_ that we've been spied on by our allies.

3. They became over-dependent on US tech which trickled down into all fine-granular processes of private and public institutions.

4. They make it additionally hard for local companies to compete with their regulation frenzies.

Don't know what to say anymore but mocking them and mention what might happen if Trump gets re-elected and discovers this dependency. If US is playing hardball, Germany will be back in stone age.
You'd be surprised what French data authority (CNIL) has to say about this[1]:

> Any use of personal data for an objective that is incompatible with the primary purpose of proces-
sing is a misuse that is subject to administrative or criminal sanctions.
> For example, a mechanic cannot sell the vehicle’s technical data to insurers to enable them to
infer the driving profiles of their policyholders.

There may be a lack of enforcement, but it seems this type of data may be protected under GDPR.

I said it sounds like one, not that it is one. I don't know enough about the implementation of it to comment intelligently, but logically it seems to me that if you can compute on it, then it's likely to leak the data, or at least some metadata about the data.

The truth of the matter may be something other. Life is not always logical.
Not sure it's really that unpopular. I personally find braces harder to read. Perhaps they are more explicit, but it just adds clutter. Compared to C and Java (even well formatted) I'd rather read someone else's Python code any day.
Head to your local physics/engineering/geophysics/climate physics department and offer your help. They will have tons of C++ code requiring work. They will even pay you while you gain experience.
Dreamliners have been flying for 13+ years now with zero hull loss accidents or fatalities. There were some teething issues with fuel leaks and batteries, but AFAICT those have long since been ironed out.
MTG is bananas but she's right, why start at tiktok when there are battalions of military aged Chinese males crossing the border through Mexico, scores of Chinese tech companies operating in the US legally, and companies/politicians (like Microsoft and the Clintons) who sold America out to China decades ago. Tiktok ban is almost superficial
It's also often incorrectly thought of as heavily democrat or liberal, perhaps due to association with neighbors like Massachusetts and Vermont. It's somewhat true, but the balance is much closer to 50/50 than those neighbors. And the largest newspaper is very Republican centric.
I find it has more to do with people (myself included) who interact with git at a PR/MR level.

If your PRs are small and you interact with git a lot using some web portal it sort of pushes you this way.

I haven't used CL myself, but it wouldn't surprise me if CL does a better job. Just pointing out that Python is significantly better in this respect than it used to be. In particular, using VS Code with Pylance, I can see type errors highlighted as soon as I write the code---I don't even need to use a keystroke. 24 years ago, I don't think anything like that was possible; the language didn't even support type annotations.
If the captain of this LATAM flight didn't report that all systems went down for a short while, I'd bet some money on a malfunctioning ADIRU [0]. The Wikipedia page even includes a nice list of incidents caused by it, mostly with similar results.
