It might help to sit him down and have an adult conversation with him about the whole situation. Kids show a surprising amount of astuteness when necessary. The important thing is to approach the situation as a team (you with your son against the world, as opposed to you against what your son is doing). Maybe framed as "If you don't want to go out anymore, we can work together to make you comfortable and safe, but the government has rules and they're going to fight us - so we all need to put our heads together to figure out how to make this work!" Figure out what compromises he'd be happy with, and what ways there are for "enlarging the pie" so that he feels like you're on his side in the end. With greater trust between you, he might start talking more about what's going on in his head.

This might make it easier to have specialists come in to see him, because you can explain to him that you need diagnosis X from this guy to get the government off the family's back. Just whatever you do, don't trick him (lie about why someone is there to see him). Lose his trust and you lose him.
I've dealt with similar "inputs" and you almost always need to test (or read the instruction manual) to really know the answer.
Interestingly, my first instinct was to think that the arrow was representing the numbers aka "lower number is colder" and apparently that's the solution.

For these cases, the only way for a manufacturer to make sure that users (almost) always get it right is to either use orange/blue colors for the numbers (orange numbers means hotter) and/or a small ice/heat icon at each side.
> You make it sound like you are better at running a system at this scale with so many users.

I don't care that the system scales to millions of people, my team is a dozen people, that's all I need something to do. And my downtime stats are far less that githubs, and they have never occurred during the working day.

Nobody denies scaling is hard, they simply deny scaling is necessary.
Azure is such dogwater - Even a narcoleptic intern could run a more effective cloud service using raspberry pis and a tin can.

Stop looking for content that might be interesting. There's simply way too much content that might interest you.

Start pulling content instead of pushing. Why are you looking for something to read? Boredom, research? Then go for the kill: what is the best option here? What is the most fun to you or the most important data you need? Prioritize mercilessly.

And filter aggressively. There is very little original and high quality content out there. Most of what is available is derivative and there's a long tail of very low quality content. Even if the topic or title seems interesting, for each 100 articles or books that sound interesting, there's likely 1 or 2 that are miles ahead of the crowd in terms of quality. Time is a great filter. Books on a given topic that are decades or centuries older than average are likely to be the source of much rehashing in a given field.
Being excessively reclusive needn't be a death sentence. Have you tried to transition to home-schooling[0], which might get the law off your back?

Spending a couple of hours each day working (with you perhaps) on some skills and then publishing something on itch.io - say a short PICO-8 game - might help open him up a little and give him some street cred with former friends and classmates.

This is similar to a friend of mine that read that those who play golf socially, live on average 10 years longer than those who don't.

He's very unfit, drinks a lot and doesn't eat well - but gets a round of golf in 2 or 3 times a month.

Now I agree 'the cohort of people that regularly play golf' likely do live longer than people who don't play golf - BUT that is not caused by the golf itself.

Those who can play golf a) already can get out and do some light exercise b) have the funds to play so putting them in the top 20 to 10 percent of household incomes, c) have a family set up that allows them time away to play golf d) have jobs that leave them with free time and energy to play golf

I could go on, but I'd argue strongly that it is not the GOLF that gives them the longevity of life.

Same here with the drinking - what are all the others things that go with people being ABLE to socially drink (in moderation)? I'd argue the drink does not cause them...
I don't think an accurate and automated public status page is something any management would want. If it was accurate they wouldn't be able to lie to customers about the uptime. So I always suspect status pages are adjusted manually.
There are some, but IME none of them has a good UX (or even a UI to begin with).

Depends on your needs. If you just want to cut and trim videos, LosslessCut[1] is great and simple to use.

I’d say years though it might depend on both your physical location and te services you use.

We’ve had to harden a bunch of automation to be more reliable in case of github going tits up, and while github is still currently the broker (as it’s where users get statuses / information from it made sense at the time to also have it handle broadcasts) we’re definitely planning on direct communication between services eventually.
> why did our status page not reflect the reality of a degraded service?

There was a conflict with marketing, market movement, sla contracts, and our image.

I often just exec ffmpeg from whatever language I'm using (as a command line thing). Not very ergonomic, but the nice thing is that it's 1:1 with all examples and other uses of ffmpeg. But I guess it depends on how deep into ffmpeg you're doing stuff. Mine is mostly to point it at doing something non advanced with a file and that's it.
The first two, the user is in control of their data. The rest, they aren't.

The comment doesn't track well either: the user is already being advertised to by using these services and understands the transaction. The user becoming the product too, is not clear to the user.

> How to translate 'we really don't know what happened' to 'is birdflupanic time!' in five seconds.

I didn't take "Scientists investigate X" to mean "X is claimed to be a crisis," so I don't really understand where this criticism is coming from. When I see a headline that scientists are investigating something, I assume it hasn't been confirmed, and I know that there's a good chance the hypothesis will later be disproven. I don't really see what Reuters is supposed to do about that, I think that's a responsibility you take on as a consumer of the news.

Ask me no more questions, and I'll tell you no more lies, but I'll talk you no more truths either.

> That leads us to wonder why the species of predatory "gulls" that were sampled positive for bird flu didn't died massively

Presumably the hypothesis would be that this particular strain of bird flu was endemic to skua seabirds and exogenous to penguins. Similar to how you might travel to a different country and get sick from their tap water, but locals drink it without issue. Viruses that jump from one species to another are often especially dangerous, which would explain why this strain of birdflu might kill a lot of penguins while leaving the skua birds largely unaffected.

Well, when we say GitHub, we are talking about thousands of services. I don’t think we can pinpoint the overall operational failures to programming language choice. In my experience, these kind of issues are mostly caused by poor organizational architecture + poor project management. In GitHub’s case, I’m also confident to say the choice of infrastructure plays a much bigger role than Ruby.

> Don't just consider the wants of the publishers and authors; consider the wants of the consumers as well

The problem is that copyright can only be enforced by those with the means to do so; but more importantly, it can be abused by anyone with the means to do so. The food chain is roughly:

1. Mega corporations

2. Small corporations

3. Individual for-profit leeches (e.g. the vast majority of "react" content on Youtube)

4. Small creators

Nobody will use "AI" tools to erode the copyright of megacorporations like Disney or Nintendo. You could be entirely within your rights to do what you're doing, but they'll sue you regardless. The overwhelming majority of people will roll over because they don't have the resources to fight it.

On the other end of the spectrum, everyone already steals from small creators, and AI tools will make it even easier to do so. As a rule they don't have the resources to start lawsuits against corporations. Most of them don't even fight against leech ("react") content because it comes with an implicit threat of public retaliation, harassment, or worse. This kind of infringement is thriving across various platforms and very few people seem to care.

So in summary, I'd say that you're not so much weakening copyright as a concept, you're just further weakening the rights of small creators who are already being infringed on by everyone - not cool.
Yes, this is correct. Provided you are not doing it to deceive it's perfectly legal in the UK - however you can't go changing other details like your date of birth, which Kierans did here.
The problem in the UK is many people in places like banks are unaware of this and they obviously cause difficulties for people when the account name and their given name do not match, even when explained (I have a relative with this situation) - it's not often enough to make it impossible merely very inconvenient at times (the relative of mine is in their 80s and been mostly fine since getting an account aa a child)
You have a lot of options to choose from. How to pick the truly best option? Let me show you a method, in which you arbitrarily pick 3 out of 6 attributes and then use an artificial, unintuitive interface to choose an optimum trade-off between them. And once you do, my super-amazing method will tell you what combination to use, easy!

OK I might be an old bitter cynic, but the beginning got my hopes up for something clever. The only value I see here is explaining the Pareto frontier, but it doesn't take a genius to independently figure out, if you have 2 attributes, and someone else has one of the attributes at least equal, and another higher, that someone else is a better pick…

Of course, what the article doesn't even touch, is that some attributes could get worse results as they get higher: imagine having an acceleration and speed so high that you effectively can't steer your car.

Also a pedantic argument could be made on the cosmetics possibly actually affecting performance…

Is there a device where i can bring on a modulated signal (to eliminate noise from other data cables) and track it through thick walls? but also directly? i know some (expensive) FLUKE devices, but they only allow to trakc half a meter i think. Im not an expert when it comes to electricity and antennas. Is it possible to build such a device myself with a raspberry maybe? Has someone done this? Thanks for advice!
Accessibility Review Checklist by Sarah Abderemane
I saw a post on LinkedIn, from GitHub, boasting about how many changes they deploy in a day. I couldn’t believe it. GitHub actions have been broken so many times for me this past month, not able to deploy my code when I want to, so it felt like a slap in the face.
I recently set up a status page for the services I run on my pi. The idea was to get some insights and apply experience at work.

My experience now tells me what we really need first is a solid alerting system, the status page can't be trusted. It's a PR tool (a useful one), not a sysadmin tool.
That's exactly what happens. How we need to respond though is by not linking to status pages hosted by that party, instead we should be linking to a StatusGator or DownDetector page as a 'source of truth'.
Thats exactly my point. You assumed they share the same environmental characteristics i.e. you're confusing them.

Scaling some things is hard. Scaling other things is easy.

git hosting is easy to scale (a.k.a. github classic). Dozens of technologies integrate into a frankenmonster (a.k.a. github modern) is hard to scale.

I like github projects, github co-pilot, CI/CD, etc. but I like stable github better.
Because AD is a security nightmare. It is a collection of ~30 distinct protocols, e.g. bastardized versions of LDAP, Kerberos, DNS, DHCP, X.509 and a few RPC protocols that are all weirdly intertwined, with 30 year old designs. Every few months there is another CVE like 'oh, we forgot to checksum and sign that one field over there, please install this incompatible patch or you will have unauthed RCE'. Since all those patches make things break, there is a lot of vulnerable AD installations out there because most people need to be on "compatibility settings" that are insecure. And even the "secure" settings drop a CVE every few months.
Git itself is only a piece of the puzzle, you still need synchronisation points for collaboration e.g. bug reports, code reviews, discussions, CI, synchronisation, etc…

Those are the services forges provide.

Also git’s support for point to point distribution is bad. I miss `hg serve`.
That’s not really how it goes. There are layers to it. Above all though, poor people are gross and a nuisance, whereas employed family men are humans just like you and me.

…obviously not my own opinion.

> Would Hamas dissolve? Their charter specifies that their goal is to kill all Jews. What happens after they are citizens?

The same thing that happened to jewish terrorist organisations like the Ḥerut (“Freedom”) Party (who, like Hamas used to rape and slaughter woman and children) - their leader Menachem Begin founded the Likud party (which toned down its terrorist roots and became a right-wing fascist political party). PLA too has toned down. Hamas too can. Note that Hamas was democratically elected but was never allowed to exercise its democratic right to govern because Israel and the US didn't like it, and forced a civil war on Palestinians by urging the PLA to attack it, while using their propaganda machinery to demonise Hamas. The Israeli-right (and US) never wanted democratic organisations in Palestine to flourish because it makes it harder to demonise them and deny them their right, and would lead to a peaceful resolution between Palestinians and Israelis that they do not want.

> The two state solution was offered repeatedly. Israel isn't in charge of that. Hamas refused every time.

The Israeli-right doesn't want peace. It desires all the land of the Palestinians for the State of Israel. If you look at Israeli history, you will find that it is Israeli-religious fundamentalists who have always sabotaged the peace talks, while using the settlers to attack Palestinians and occupy more and more of their land. They killed their own Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin (The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin: ‘He never knew it was one of his people who shot him in the back’ - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/31/assassination-... ) as he was working for a peaceful settlement with Palestinians. They succeeded in sabotaging the peace process. Netanyahu's mentor, Ariel Sharon later gave the order for assassinating PLA's Yasser Arafat (Yasser Arafat: The Assassination - https://www.palestinechronicle.com/yasser-arafat-the-assassi... ), to create anger and hate amongst the Palestinians and sabotage the peace process. They succeeded. Hamas too has many times offered to negotiate peace with Israel, but each time they were rebuffed by Israelis (Israel Rejected Peace with Hamas on Five Occasions* - https://inkstickmedia.com/israel-rejected-peace-with-hamas-o... ). Why do you think Netanyahu continued to support and finance Hamas? (Why Israel Created Hamas - https://swprs.org/why-israel-created-hamas/ ). Even recently, Netanyahu has bluntly said he will never accept the two-state solution (Israel’s embattled leader has long opposed the emergence of an independent Palestine. - https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/01/22/netanyahu-bi... ) and has instead used the recent tragedy to do the same thing the right-wing religious fundamentalists in Israel have always done - kill Palestines brazenly and seize their land in both Gaza and West Bank (Israel unveils big West Bank land seizure as Blinken visits - https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2024/03/israel-unveils-... ).

Israel's greatest enemy are their religious fundamentalists in power. They need to get rid of them, starting with Netanyahu, if they want lasting peace.

What kind of nature are you even watching? It's the sickly bottom 1% that's suffering which is an unfortunate reality, not the 90%. You completely inverted that.

Hamas drove out the israelis from the Gaza strip, that's generally considered a success among palestinians and something many palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem wishes they had too.

We chose to start with temporal safety (use-after-free, uninitialised memroy etc) but are going to implement spacial safety (buffer overflows/underflows) soon (See roadmap https://xr0.dev/vision-roadmap).

Xr0 is not limited to memory-safety, its goal is to eliminate the possibility of writing C code that results in undefined behaviour. A good analogy can be drawn to how Typescript wraps Javascript and provides type safety. Think of Xr0 as a wrapper to C that guarantees you don't violate C's safety semantics.
