PSTs can be exported from Exchange Online via eDiscovery, although I'm curious why you'd want to, since it will only include whatever's in the mailbox anyway, which can presumably be accessed directly from the cloud when the mail client signs in.

What's the use case with PST import in Thunderbird? Outlook clients with an IMAP/POP3 mailbox storing a local archive of mail that's since been deleted from the server? This can be uploaded to the Exchange Online mailbox through Outlook which would be more resilient and less brittle than a local PST. What scenario am I missing?

Why should the people that actively work to support the Israeli government’s ethnic cleaning campaign be afforded luxuries like a vandalism free work place? You think that higher ups at google felt threatened? I can’t imagine how you’d characterize the feelings of families living and dying in Gaza right now.

the targets of the protests are nice and comfortable on the other side of the world as they materially contribute to the chaos and terror in the Middle East - if the protestors deserve to face the consequences of their actions, why shouldn’t the collaborators being protested? Where are their consequences, eh?
Negative rent inflation in 2020 means rents decreased in 2020.

I explained already why it's relevant. Rents went down when credit was the cheapest (refuting your hypothesis) and when net migration was the lowest (confirming my hypothesis that it's shortage related).

Then rents skyrocketed post-2022 when credit was expensive (refuting your hypothesis, again) and when net migration was at an all time high relative to housing starts (confirming my hypothesis, again).

You have no data that backs your hypothesis and you remain obstinate in the face of data that refutes it.

"We had 15 years of the cheapest money in the history of modern economics, why do we still have a shortage?"

Zoning regulations that prevent housing near cities. We also didn't have as bad of a shortage 4 years ago, the rental crisis got a lot worse post-2022 everywhere in the West as the net migration backlog from covid was processed and housing starts failed to keep up.

People dislike parts of the original 1978 bill that contunued.

I take issue with this bit: FISA also established the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), a special U.S. Federal court that holds nonpublic sessions to consider issuing search warrants under FISA. Proceedings before the FISC are ex parte, meaning the government is the only party present.

When combined by foreign agents including US citizens, it’s troubling.

MFC's only COM support was support for ActiveX controls; it otherwise didn't do anything to help you with COM interaction. You may be thinking of ATL, which was specifically intended to help with COM.

I think you’re missing the point that these programs are now indescribably powerful for swaying social sentiment. They can be made into weapons of mass disruption. Of course you and I want the internet to be completely open, but the world has changed drastically since the early days and bad actors have created software that gives them huge amounts of power. It’s utterly irresponsible not to regulate such a thing.
I caught that timeline discrepancy as well. I was surprised to see Active Directory mentioned so early in the NetWare timeline, NDS had quite a bit of time to gain the high ground in market share.
No, the NPE was implicit in the Android frameworks, not in user code. Basically it called a method that can be called only after onCreate() completes, from a method that was itself called from onCreate().
Your phrase "engineers actively monitoring private conversations" has some quantifiers that need examining.

I am not "perfectly happy" with it, no. For starters, I don't think there actually are people who do not base their actions on sensory experiences. Evolution mitigates against that pretty strongly.

I would say that if someone doesn't base their actions on sensory experience (a very big if) then they will be totally unable to navigate reality. They will almost certainly injure themselves, possibly others, and likely even kill themselves and maybe take others down with them. It's so obvious and the consequences so severe that it would be unethical to actually conduct this experiment.

Also, 2 is not a logical implication of 1. One can never rule out the possibility that, say, all human behavior is controlled by evil demons. What I would say is that my version of 1 is very compelling evidence for 2, and one of the things that makes it compelling is that it is so obviously true that a sane person would never even contemplate it as anything other than a thought experiment.

What can I do to prepare for a startup?
I am a freshman in a small university. When I look through YC founders, I see legit geniuses. People who have papers published, math Olympiad prizes, lots of internships at big names, and more. It makes it really demotivating when every single person seems to be that good. Coming from a smaller college, it makes it difficult to reach some of those opportunities.

In short, what can I do to prepare to develop a startup in the future? I am a technical person, but am not that advanced. Should I start researching or start developing projects?

There are both practical and ethical grounds that line up so rarely.

The “operator” is a person, the LLM is an appliance. If you tell your smart chainsaw to kill your neighbor? We have laws for that. In fact, on computers, they’re really hardcore. Hurting people is generally illegal: and I definitely don’t need a lesson on that from FUCKING Silicon Valley. We want to start with the child labor or the more domestic RICO shit.

Truthful Q&A type benchmarks correlate a lot with coding-adjacent tasks: euphemism is a lose in engineering.

The only SSDs I have personally experienced failing due to wear are ones that I was using in an array for a database. These drives lasted several (5+) years.

> No one but Rust Evangelicals care about doing something over in Rust. There isn’t a single end feature that you can deliver in Rust but not C.

Strictly speaking, no. But there are many ways that the quality of life of writing code is so much higher in Rust than C. A non-exhaustive stuff of just the things I've done in my most recent project:

* String handling. C's idiomatic string interface (i.e., null-terminated strings) is a dumpster fire of an interface that makes security vulnerabilities far more likely. And the set of string functions in the C standard library are a joke.

* For that matter, memory management. Sure, I can write malloc and free manually, and have to manually remember whenever I get a pointer whether or not I'm responsible for freeing it, or if the pointer is only valid until the next function call, or stuff like that. But scale that to 100KLOC, and the ability of programmers to remember all of those details turns out to shockingly poor. Meanwhile, in Rust, it's a compiler error if you get it wrong, rather than being a crash or worse.

* Asynchronous programming. Rust has built-in coroutine support; C does not.

* Better idiomatic error handling. Handling an error in Rust is very often just a single ? character. No more chance of gotofail!

* Newtypes, which are a godsend if you want to implement a parse-don't-validate strategy.

* Better threading support. Rust has a much richer standard library for writing multithreaded applications, and it provides much better compiler support for it (Send and Sync traits are absolute godsends for annotating what can and can't be used from multiple threads). And if you go out into common crates... rayon is a better way to do embarrassingly parallel code than OpenMP is, especially if you want to do fancy stuff like non-trivial reductions. (Side note: the first successful attempt at a multithreaded HTML rendering engine was written in Rust, and that's not for a lack of trying with C++ code. That is how much of a godsend Rust ends up being.)

I am by no means a member of the Rewrite-it-in-Rust brigade; I'm pretty sober about the costs of rewrites and the benefits you'd get from such a thing. However, I will say that Rust is generally a superior option than C/C++ if you're doing parsing code (which means you're dealing with untrusted input that you really want to be sure isn't going to go haywire on unexpected input). And for email protocols, where you deal with a lot of mixed binary and text in the same stream, Rust's string handling support is in a sweet spot, especially compared to most other safe VM languages which have different types for binary strings and text strings.

Also, knowing enough of the Thunderbird internals to know what code already does need to be rewritten, I'm fairly confident of where I can sensibly propose that things ought to be written in Rust in lieu of C++ or JS.
> And yet, most of the time when somebody even realises they shouldn't write codecs (and file compression and various other similar technologies) in C++ their next guess is Rust which while obviously an improvement over C++ is hardly a good choice for this work either.

Not C++ nor Rust?! What then, tia? C? Ada??
Maybe. Not everything ever manages to make it to low cost, high volume- either because there is no reasonable path to making it that cheap, or because there are not sufficiently large markets in the in-between prices.
I end up with that kind of thing frequently, I'd like an optimizer though because I'm sure I'm certainly missing some deeper flag/regex/... knowledge.

> it's less clear how the same problem, which the comment acknowledges exists, develops elsewhere.

The how? As I understand it, most people are lazy and disinformation works. Especially if it's loud enough or tied with some sort of gift/bribe to both incentivize and ensure your messaging is the loudest. This is why anyone can see money talking in every culture over a few hundred people. The most effective politicians attack and defend in their political arena, as possible. Any lobby that can contribute to that fight, is a boon. The most effective politicians accept lobbyist (or some other form of outside influence) money/resources and it becomes an ingrained part of the political culture.

Ofc, eventually someone amasses enough money and power to take control of the political system with intimidation (effectively becoming an on-site lobby of do or die) and you end up in a dictatorship. This is easier, the more a political system has bottlenecks, and the population that operates in that system are under crippling financial collapse.

Plato's Republic was a philosophical analysis of this problem. Kallipolis was little more than a thought experiment, demonstrating the futility of staving off this kind of corruption.

How does this apply to the UN? I can't say, but it seems like the Plastics industry is hard at work to sway them.
This might come off rude on accident, but I mean genuinely without malice. When I'm writing an essay to submit to my professor/teacher, I am asked to make multiple drafts to get a proper end result that is ready to submit. Understanding that educational staff is already often overworked, should I expect _less_ from the person I receive my education from? If you acknowledge that many of the grades I receive are actually not fair to me, and there's an attempt to randomize the order that papers are graded, many of the grades that I received (whether high or low) were done partially (that is to say, the opposite of "impartially".) And there's a real concern that in your example where the submissions are committed to a repository that you need to shuffle, that my submission ends up in a similar position in the stack week after week, unless you're actually doing something to ensure my position in the stack is different between submissions. It's probably sufficient in many cases but doesn't guarantee randomness unless the algorithm to randomize submissions takes previous stack orderings into account.

I should go watch that debate. From "Elbow Room", the rough idea I've gotten out of it is that traditional Free Will is meaningless and so he invented a new definition which we might now call Agency.

I don't recall how far he took it, but for me determinism is very helpful (if not required) for predictability, and predictability required for meaningful Free Will. So I'll have to go watch the debate, but my bet is that Dennett was willfully (pun intended) refusing to accept the other-definition of Free Will in favor of his own. I'll report back after I listen to the debate :)
Just be careful with this if you build an actual game. Most of my comment will reference his video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnGoGq7DWMc.

He very arrogantly opens the video by basically saying "your mesher SUCKS compared to mine". What he doesn't tell is that he tested his mesher with 3 block types. His mesher requires separating each block type in the chunk and making copies of the chunk data with only that block type present. Of course, this scales horribly - if you have a reasonable 500 block types in your game, you would run out of memory on any computer which isn't a server with 128GB+ of RAM.

He also strongly implies that greedy meshers are just as fast as regular meshers - which is straight up false. He compares his optimised mesher to his really bad first naive mesher, which is just cheating. He also has zero clue about what he is doing - he is spending the first 22% of the function allocating the vec.... which he could trivially avoid by pre-allocating a vec (or a bunch of them if you want to do meshing in parallel) then just reusing them for every mesh.

He has zero clue about profiling and optimisation or even about how to make an actual game which is not a tech demo, yet he confidently spews bullshit to aspiring gamedevs who believe him because they don't know any better. This is truly sad and con artists like this should be shamed to the ground for misinforming new developers.
We were originally talking about how many people who weren't philosophers enjoyed philosophy---what happened to that?

But whatever, we can set that aside if you'd like, I'm kind of curious to hear - what do you think was lost in the last 100 years ago? I'm a bit surprised to hear that, I would have thought you would say that we got more rather than less rigorous post-Frege. What do you think of philosophers today who specialize in studying the history of philosophy today, or philosophers who specialize in specific periods of pre-20th century philosophy (ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, etc.)? Or specific pre-20th century philosophy?

And I have to ask, since you're a big fan of Popper---what do you think about Kuhn and Feyerabend? Quine (particularly the Duhem-Quine thesis)? Post-Popperian philosophy of science in general? All just nonsense?

(You don't have to address every question if you'd rather not take the time.)
