Since it's Windows anyway I don't use open source.

I do it manually using the built-in Windows 11 tools.

Boot to the Windows Startup Media, go to Command Line, at the "DOS" prompt you will be at a ramdrive X:. Ready to accept your commands.

Your regular Windows partition will (almost always) still be C: (which you can check) but since you are not actually booted to that partition, your entire Windows installation, whatever you have on C: at the time, is just sitting there idle, nothing more than a bunch of dormant files & folders which you can now back up comprehensively without any of them being in use at the time.

Use the DISM /Capture-Image command to create a .WIM file from your entire C: volume and store it on a device of your choice. The default compression ends up about half the space it takes up normally. It helps if you don't have anything wasting space on C: that you don't really need beforehand, so the comprehensive backup file is not un-necessarily huge.

Most of the time your Boot files are not on your C: volume so they are not backed up in this process.

You should be confident at booting to the startup media, backing up, reformatting, and restoring to the same partition. The Boot files in their hidden partition would be expecting that, and can remain untouched.

From the startup media you restore the saved .WIM file to a waiting partition using the DISM /Apply-Image routine.

Look at the Help for DISM, it is very powerful but don't be confused, it takes very little mastery if all you are going to use it for is backup & restore.

If you restore the backup .WIM file to new drive hardware you would have to partition and format the drive beforehand, and then it would restore to the empty filesystem fine. But in this case Boot files were not already there on the drive from previous use so you would have to freshly create them according to the situation at hand. For this, one of the commands that may be worthwhile to learn about is BCDBOOT and you can get what you want.

This is ideal for transferring to different size partitions or drive hardware, but nothing's perfect and some software is a little deficient even with the native backup, so may occasionally need to be re-licensed after restoration.

The completely comprehensive way is the simplest, and it's a full backup of everything on C:, not just the essential Windows operating system.

Incremental snapshots can then be taken after that using DISM also, you might want to address that once you have well rehearsed the full backup & restore to your satisfaction.

Oh, yeah, I believe Clonezilla is open source, seems to work OK and it can be good if you want to have a whole-disk backup including your boot files.

But generating your own boot files from Windows, the way you want them whenever you need to is way more versatile, and just as easy to learn. Then you don't need Clonezilla.

Plus with Clonezilla you're booting to a Linux starting media in order to access your Windows partition while it's dormant, but DISM is a built-in Windows routine for this exact task.
In general, having lived and worked for extended (10 year + periods) in both the US and Europe. I find Europe have a lot more freedom, generally speaking. In some area's the US is better, and in other area's Europe is, but overall, I would tip the scale to Europe. American "freedom" have always felt to me like just pure marketing, however the same can be said for some European countries. For examples the Netherlands is not nearly as open minded and free, with lots of silly rules and regulations. However, places like Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy etc. are actually much better in my opinion.
There is no universally-accepted definition for the term "safe" as it applies to programming languages.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/509501/six-americans-drink-alco... Nearly 40% of respondents to a Gallup poll don't. That seems high to me, but I would expect somewhere around 15% of people to abstain. But then again I'm not so full of myself to put "data science" in my name on here and say obviously incorrect stuff.
Also it has been pointed out elsewhere, that previous alcoholics will likely show up as non-drinkers in a study like this, but will already have done significant damage to their health.
The result being that not drinking looks worse than it is.
At the moment, I think you'd want to use both products together, i.e. using `depot build` in place of `docker build` to move the container build portion to a Depot container builder.

I'd like to have a more automatic integration at some point - the challenge is that a lot of BuildKit's architecture performs best when many different build requests all arrive at a single build host, it is then able to efficiently deduplicate and cache work across all those build requests. So you really want the many different Actions jobs all communicating with the same BuildKit host.

We have some ideas for reducing the amount of change to Actions workflows to adopt ^ - longer term we're also working on our own build engine, to free those workloads from being confined to single hosts (be that single CI runners or single container builders).

It's closer to a difference between mass retail and tailor fitted clothes. Big vendors have great quality control too, but it's not the robustness of the stitch or uniformity of color that's important here.
Why not?

Nobody cares that Nintendo has a monopoly on games published for their hardware.

I think we would care if all the other console makers left the market.

I think this analogy applies to Android vs. iOS — and that's despite me being annoyed by Apple acting as morality police with regard to content, instead of limiting their rules to the security domain.

C# 8 introduced async generators with IAsyncEnumerable, so you can combine yield and await in C# as well. Those async generators are consumed using the ”await foreach” statement (which offcourse can be used nested from within another async generator).

I can't comment on whether the quality of the features (display, interaction, tracking etc) are any better than the competitors, but the existence of those features is not innovative in itself. They're an iteration, and from what I hear, not necessarily a large one
> How, if at all, are these Apple restrictions affected?

They are completely unaffected by the DMA. The only exception might be if another store decides to allow sharing of signing keys across apps they host, however one bad actor could take down the entire set of keys used if flagged.
Internet service plans are also designed like this, usually with much more download speed than upload (non-symmetrical).
It goes like this:

XBMC forks, becomes Plex

Plex devs decide to charge membership. Requires a payment processor.

Payment processors get very twitchy around anything that could involve piracy

So Plex take an aggressive anti-piracy stance, despite it being the primary use case for their software. In this case an unauthorised use takedown.

I agree and disagree. We should improve the system to make it resilient to individual failures, and we should place more pressure on individuals in positions of power to not make mistakes.

I think a judge making a mistake this egregious should not be allowed to continue being a judge.
No, there's no code generation. In that sense, it's more like TLA+.

The code generation is not in the plan, at least, not for the next couple of years until a few prerequisites happen that's not in my control.

The primary reasons for not taking code generation are,
1. It complicates the model spec. My intention is, the spec should be as close to pseudo code as possible that is you ever write pseudo code on your design doc, it should be in fizz.
2. The past experience trying to do complete code generation all failed except for some trivial use cases (like protocol buffers)

These are Apple notarized apps. As with macOS, they still have to both be signed and go through some verification , but they don’t apply any of the other App Store rules to it.
> Apple's total control of all aspects of the iPhone platform is harmful to consumers in a way that is not at all obvious, especially not to the less technologically literate.

EU's attempted total control of all aspects of the tech platforms is harmful to consumers in a way that is not at all obvious, especially not to the less economically literate.

It's funny that Apple is condemned here for applying inside their own platform the exact same strategy the EU is applying inside its tech market.

> The real Woods was arrested and charged with identity theft and false impersonation, under a misspelling of Keirans’ name: Matthew Kierans.

Are they saying that they thought the real Woods was actually Matthew Keirans? How did they conclude that? The article is full of evidence of how the real Matthew Keirans had been pretending that he’s actually William Woods, but what evidence was there connecting the real William Woods to the name Matthew Keirans? It’s not like the real Woods would have any (fake) documentation attesting to it. Why would there be anything connecting him to the name at all?

I could see them charging him as a John Doe since they don’t know who he is but “know” he’s not William Woods but I don’t understand why they would charge him as Matthew Keirans.
That just means you need a whatever-to-C transpiler. Which in most cases is quite achievable, and especially so if the language is designed to allow that (so e.g. no guaranteed tail call optimizations etc).
It’s funny you should say that because Apple’s tools all have preconfigured table styles, in Keynote, Pages and Numbers.

This article was way more interesting than the title suggested. Well done!
Going through the guy's 'CV' from the article, I guess one of the reasons the authorities never went "all the way to 11" to catch him, is that the harm he did was relatively 'small' - meaning of financial nature - he didn't physically hurt/murdered anyone.
(I am not OK-ing what he did, I just think that if you got 100 killers out and about please catch them and the $200k guy will be caught sooner or later by some bureaucratic control).
I would love to get more information on the cost implications of this generational doubling. Are we going to get this “for free”, or does it come with, say, twice the power usage, or a requirement for tighter tolerances on physical components that are thus going to be more expensive to manufacture?

We should pay more attention to the distinction between technologies which are a fundamental advancement, and technologies which are just a way to spend more resources.

Intel have offered us many great examples of the latter: CPUs which are faster, but at great power and cooling cost.

Or, to pick another industry, supercars with incredible acceleration and top speed, but with billionaire-only price tags. I don’t think those are really advanced cars. The true advancements lie in figuring out how to do more with less (like we saw with Apple Silicon), not more with more.

I hope this is all irrelevant to PCIe 7.0 and it does in fact raise the baseline for everyone, but we can no longer take this for granted in this industry.
It’s hard to communicate about this stuff. I think people hear ‘tools’ and ‘function calling’ and assume it provides an actual suite of tools or pre-made routines that it calls upon on the Anthropic backend. But nope. It’s just a way of generating a structured schema from a prompt. It’s really crucial work, but just funny how obscured the boring truth is. Also FWIW I experience a tonne more schema adherence if I use XML-like semantic tags rather than JSON. XML is so much more forgiving a format too.
I don't think that lack of productivity as a society is what drives our suffering. There is enough stuff.

The work you are talking about, that we are supposed to do well in our 70s, is just a means to determine how we distribute our stuff, not a means to create more stuff.
This sounds super toxic - unless you got paid for reading novels.

A dissenting opinion on the design - for me, this presentation was like watching a video to find information; too slow paced, and it made me impatient the whole time. The original notebook format was far better in that regard. The layout within each section is beautiful, but the animation and the scroll-sensitive layout (vs. just having a series of static diagrams) makes it unpleasant for me to read.

The content's excellent and it was fascinating to see how the differences between characters and karts play out though!
This kind of artificial aging is an official thing in electric guitar market - typically called road worn. And it's done by Fender or Gibson, not just some obscure brands. There are also signature lines which are more ot less exact copies of guitars played by famuous musicians.

Tbh, I never understood why the phenomenon of Hikkikomori, which is the Japanese version of NEET (people who don't work or study) has captured such a large amount of the public's imagination, with multiple fictional works made about them.

Just take a look at the World Bank's stats on what percentage of people are NEET:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.UEM.NEET.ZS

Here we can see, Japan stands at 3.1%, one of the absolute lowest, while the US is at 11%, Italy at 15%ish. It would stand to reason this would be a much more prominent
I'm not sure the difference between these stats and public perception is due to different measurement criteria, or due to cultural differences about societal expectations.

The methods that the US society uses to force its citizens to comply with social norms are similar to Soviet Russia. Yes, technically speaking law doesn't prevent you from doing things, but if you do them, you'll get fired and won't find another job "because it is the freedom of the corporation to decide not to work with you" and have fun living without a job. I am so happy that EU has, in general, much better protection of worker rights.
comparing video game consoles to the modern smartphone is an intellectually dishonest analogy based on numbers alone, never mind what each is respectively used for. but i don't quite understand what you mean regardless. (why would we care about Nintendo if all other game console makers did what? they all just up and randomly closed shops in this hypothetical for what reason/s?)
Sure, but I have a Python web app.
May I ask what makes you think this way?

In this society someone like me that is solitary for the most part can contribute to others, and be compensated for my contributions without having the issue of having to deal with other people directly.

It's not appealing to everyone, but having the option is helpful to those averse to direct interaction. I don't see much downside in having it open.

Copy-Wrongs – Comments on Plagiarism
Quite frankly, the "leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!!1!" people have had over 50 years now to prove that they can consistently write safe code as a group. All evidence so far points to the contrary.

FWIW I don't think Rust is the answer to this, either. Most software just needs to be written on an even higher abstraction level, with copious redundant safety nets embedded on all levels, performance be damned. It appears that that's the only way we as an industry can reach acceptable quality of software with the average developer that we actually have (as opposed to the hypothetical Zen master).
