The older I get the more I see these bills and trends are really based on economics. Politics is more a less a controlled narrative to maintain this style of wealth distribution.

The wealthy elite class draws most of its income by exploiting labor. This is done in a variety of ways but essentially most UK Billionaires make their money in private equity (over half.. same in US)... which really means they don't actually do much real labor.

Instead they need to extract wealth which often means creating a system where people's labor is exploited. To keep this system in check a control of the narrative is required so you can keep a lower class of workers "occupied" so they don't wise up to the reality of the situation.

One common theme is fear.. war on terror, axis of evil states.. some sort of plague..Y2K.. you can probably pull up many themes from the past.

The other theme is divide by culture.... you see this today with gender issues.. gay rights, etc. For example in most modern western states... the vast majority of citizens don't really care if people are gay .. they may or may not approve personally but honestly don't mind what people do with their private lives etc... So the narrative has to flipped and made more extreme ..it doesn't matter the issue it has to something that gets people riled up enough that they don't have much mental or emotion energy left to focus on the small group that is exploiting their labor. (So gender issue has to get extreme to the point where we talk about surgical altering children for example)

Notice both parties... somehow keep migrants flowing into Europe (and US).. Almost like pressure needs to be kept on keeping wages low.

In the US the federal reserve openly states this as the goal ..(https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/us-federal-reser...). Little coverage is given to this and instead a strange spin is attached on how somehow the worker class will actually benefit by being paid less.

This is the same with survelliance bills. We must keep an eye on the worker class to make sure they don't organize and wise up to the reality of their situation.

My two cents
The Python source code is utf-8 by default in Python 3. But it says nothing about a character encoding used to save to a file. It is locale-dependent by default.

# string literals create str objects using utf-8 by default
Path("filenames use their own encoding").write_text("file content encoding uses yet another encoding")

The corresponding encodings are:

- utf-8 [tokenize.open]
- sys.getfilesystemencoding() [os.fsencode]
- locale.getpreferredencoding() [open]
I had no idea Albert Camus was an anarchist, I've read some of his work (The Myth of Sisyphus and The rebel) and it shouldn't really surprise me to find out he is a socialist of some form.

Edit: If it isn't clear Camus is a fantastic writer and you should definitely check out some of his work, and more articles from https://libcom.org/ if you have the time!
Agreed. I bought a base 13" M2 in a pinch because my then-current machine stopped receiving security updates, and needed to do a bunch of financial stuff. As soon as the 15" M3 arrived I bought a loaded one and gave the base M2 to mom.

She loves it and comments on how much better it is than the 12" intel Macbook it replaced, even though they have the same amount of RAM.

Well aware, and it affects none of my points.
This doesn't make sense. Pricing could very reasonably vary by country in order for a company to try to capture more revenue though price discrimination.

This says nothing about whether this is done to cover the costs of development or not. Only an altruistic company wouldn't vary the prices.

It has been about 2 weeks now since I first came across a problem. Namely, I needed to buy supplements based on doctor's recommendations, and I got lost browsing hundreds of supplements trying to compare them to each other. Somehow this lead me to wanting to build a supplement store that allows to compare supplements based on their active ingredients rather than marketing materials.

So... two weeks in, something that had to be an overnight MVP, has grown into me studying chemical compounds and building a database of every nutrient, enzyme, etc. I do genuinely enjoy the process a lot, and I already have a somewhat working product. However, I am increasingly questioning my decision making going down this rabbit hole.

The questions I ask myself are...

* Is this even a solvable problem? [as I've learned along the way, there are near infinite amount of variations how the same ingredient can be described, and often normalization happens with limited amount of information, making a great deal of assumptions]

* If this even worth solving? [are there people who care that much about getting _the best_ supplement?]

There is no ask. I just took a break from writing test cases and paused to reflect on where I am in this journey, but... Would love for someone to share perspective/suggestions if you have one.
"The problem can be regulated and rectified,"

What exactly is the problem and how can it be rectified? Sure, we could make farmers pay actual costs and eliminate subsidies. We will also massively cut production because local farm can't compete with overseas crop prices. It's also possible the rich countries buyout crops from the poor and create famines or the breakdown of free trade (or we abandon the US version of free trade and tax imports to match domestic prices).
It's because HIPAA is a joke and SOC2 is basically the bare minimum at this point.

Too many little ways to manipulate your artifacts to pass SOC2 and no accountability when it goes wrong.

I hope Rust does gain mature options for its GUI ecosystem, but the author of the article makes a very good point that in other languages, there would be mature options in use already. "Seems promising" is too little, too late.
This will be really interesting if it makes it to SCOTUS. They really don’t like pitting two principles against each other. In this case it would be national security and First Amendment protections. They will try to find any reason why this doesn’t really fit on procedural grounds or some limited circumstances.

First you gotta get OpenGL going, with its horrible stateful API, give up on it and go to DirectX9. Do a complete rewrite when DirectX10 comes out. Get your real-time lighting happening with shadow volumes, run into patent issues and get strong-armed into putting Creative sound into your game. Cycle between GLSL, HLSL, and Cg. End up switching to shadow mapping anyway. Drop Linux and Mac support. Start over with Vulkan/Metal.

It's tempting to make the big case of the day "the most important of all time," but most likely this will just pile some fair-use carve-outs for commercial LLMs onto the Copyright Act of 1998 (which piled onto the Acts of 1976, 1909, 1870, 1831, and 1790).

I don't think that much is going to change, but I'm curious in the arguments for otherwise.

What do you think about the new law regarding not issuing passports abroad? Will return or have another citizenship?
CPUs are way way faster, but RAM latency has barely improved in the past couple decades. That's why cache-optimized systems like ECS can still be a dramatic improvement when you're simulating a lot of stuff. Like, thousands of active objects.
I don't think the answer to these problems building system that treats users the same as an attacker when it comes to accessing and backing up their own private keys. Because at the end of the day the ability to export your private keys and store them somewhere securely is the account recovery of last resort.

Passkeys aren't HSMs -- the fact that you can sync them via your iCloud or Google account should dispel any such nonsense. It's fine for Apple or Google to store your keys at your request and they should keep them secure but the model of "here's my key, now don't ever let me look at it but let me use it via what is effectively DRM" is silly.

If a warning message on export "Never share this with anyone. Even someone you trust. Even your IT department. There is no reason anyone but you should have access to this key." isn't enough to stop people giving it away then no security was ever going to work for them. They would give away the credentials that lets them use the key in its absence.

"code blowing up because of this issues"

I ran into these issues all the time with Java, C++, and Python projects.

But it's just not the experience of running Go in production, which I've been doing for over 10 years now, across many projects with many devs.

In practice, nil checks are just not very difficult to include everywhere. And experienced Go programmers don't use exceptions (panic/recover) almost ever.
No, I'm not concerned with Linux/BSD/macOS performance, it's pretty good (I took Windows out because it does have performance issues [0]!). What I am concerned about is security bugs, memory errors, buffer overflows etc, all of the things Rust attempts to solve [1].

I think for weapons & flight control, ATC systems, we already have Ada that's designed for "can't fail systems".

>Any peace deal that Israel offers that does not establish Palestinian borders as they were in 1967 is a slap in the face for any and every Palestinian who had their homes, livelihood, and history colonized by Israeli settlers.

Who broke the peace after the 1967 agreement? What happened in 1973?

You can't accept a peace agreement, then declare a new war, lose it, and then call it a slap in the face if you aren't given the exact same deal you were already given before you started and lost a war.

The 1967 agreement gives the West Bank to Jordan, and Gaza to Egypt. The fact that Egypt doesn't want Gaza anymore and Jordan doesn't want the West Bank anymore is a rather material roadblock to implementing the 1967 agreement in 2024, don't you think?

I don't pretend to have an answer here, I just reject the notion that Israel should be solely blamed for the lack of a Palestinian state, as the initial person I responded to implied.

And also, the use of colonization rhetoric is absolutely fucking crazy to me. Nearly all people who "settled" in Israel are refugees in the exact same sense as Palestinians, and half of Israeli Jews are literally ethnically from elsewhere in the middle east - "settling" in Israel after being forced out of Syria, Iraq, Egypt, etc.

You also said that Palestinian "history" has been "colonized" by Israeli "settlers". Do you understand what a cruel joke that sounds like considering the particular bit of land we're talking about?

Was 1948 unfair to Palestinians? Yes. That decade was unfair to literally everyone involved, including the people who became Israelis. It was also unfair when Czechoslovakia kicked out (and worse) hundreds of thousands of native ethnic Germans, but we're not still having wars over that 75 years later.

While not written as a de jure ban, it is a de facto ban.

China has said from the earliest ban attempts under Trump that they would not allow the divestment of Chinese interests. Legislators knew this - they knew that the divestment would never happen, and so in my eyes, they wrote ban into law with a thin veneer of distraction.

That's a rather reductionist view of it. Companies don't exist in a vacuum, they have a social contract. It seems in your view there's nothing we can complain about them as we can always just not buy the drugs, freeing them of any scrutiny.

But society create rules for companies to exist within, many of which are broken, but without which the never ending search for profits would do more harm than good. Society even provides these companies with their intellectual labor, training them in high schools and universities, which is not paid back by them in full (maybe partly if that) either in grants or in compensation for these workers.

Maybe this is an offshoot of the anarcho-capitalism mindset that is popular these days where companies can do absolutely no wrong and we should all be thankful they exist to judge whether we're worthy enough to not die of diabetes.
Likewise - I've been learning Rust for four years now (significant C/C++/Python/Lua experience), and have written some reasonably complex apps in it, but I really just didn't get the Bevy / ECS "hype"...

I've tried to write several different types of games using it (with Bevy) in the past three years, and it just feels like shoe-horning something in.

But the biggest complaint I have with Bevy is that with all the refactoring that's been needed with the Bevy version upgrades: getting the code to compile again after the version upgrades has normally been fairly easy - but it then often didn't work correctly, and I'd have to spend time debugging the ECS system to work out what was wrong.

i.e. the "if it compiles, it'll almost certainly work" bonus of generic Rust code totally seems to fall down within Bevy.

I obviously understand that it's an in-development framework, in its early days, so some of that's on me for choosing it, but still, it's been a very painful experience, and I feel I've wasted a fairly significant amount of time over the past few years attempting it.

"You need to install ad trackers on your website to get the most out of ad platforms like Facebook and Google Ads. Ad trackers can create issues for healthcare marketers by sending visitor identifiers and health information to platforms that aren't HIPAA-compliant."

I'm sure they are good folks, but what an absurd premise. Something about the best minds of our generation selling ads....

Interesting read! If I had not picked Elixir + Godot for the multiplayer game I'm making, then I would've gone with Rust for the whole thing. The old naive version of me would've tried doing it in C++ + Unreal but I knew better this time around.

I think multiplayer game devs are sleeping on Elixir! It has made the network side of things so much easier and intuitive with fast prototyping and built in monitoring - so many lifetime issues are easily found and addressed. I'm pairing Elixir with Godot, Godot is used for the frontend game client. And its crazy because I thought the game client part would be the "hard" part as it would be a new skillset to learn, but Godot makes the actual game part very easy. GDScript is easy to learn, and the way Godot uses "signals" is very similar to the backend code in Elixir with message passing so its not a huge cognitive shift to switch between server/client code.

I get that BEAM doesn't lend well to highly computational tasks, but I just don't see how thats an issue for many types of multiplayer games? If you aren't making some crazy simulation game, then most of the backend computation is more around managing client state and doing "accounting" every tick as inputs are processed. The most computational task I've had is server-side NPC Pathfinding, which I was able to quickly offload onto seperate processes that chug along at their own rhythm.
Now I'm wondering how far people could go a hypothetical Rustscript* that transpiles to Rust (or hooks into rustc?), introduces extra features such as reflection, removes lifetimes, and changes the defaults around things like monomorphization.

By default they go in your cloud synced password manager for those platforms. iCloud Keychain etc.

Or you can use a third party password manager like 1Password or KeePassXC.

I think we are in agreement on Justin Sun. My original comment was saying that comparing Justin Sun to an average VC is like comparing Bernie Madoff to an average fund manager. I.e., both Madoff and Sun are massive frauds and scammers that are in no way comparable to an average fund manager or a VC.

Otherwise, it would be like claiming that Coinbase is a fraudelent company just like FTX, solely due to the fact that both operated as crypto brokerages.
> the "underlying system" in this case may be a bit too implementation-centered to be considered a real business domain.

I tend to agree with this. The domain concepts would be things like charge-backs and the reasons for them. The details of the codes and categories are implementation-specific. Unless, as Increase seems to be implying, their domain is the payment networks and fintech and their customers care about them the same way a kernel programmer would care about the details of memory allocators or schedulers, while most application programmers just want them to exist and work in a consistent way.

Anyone that has worked in a sector where technology is often a second tier citizen or after thought knows these types of breaches are inevitable.

Hospitals. Banks. Airline industry.

The shit I have seen in just these industries made me think twice about having my private information held here.

Of course, the “IT” is often outsourced or “in sourced” (often juniors fresh out of college). Thus simple shit such as network segmenting production and development environments; and limiting access to production databases/assets is nonexistent.

I remember working in an airline where the backend systems were still running on outdated mainframe systems. Nobody had a clue how the existing mainframe systems worked. No documentation. Only poorly maintained support docs on how to keep it running. I ended up silent quitting after 3 months because management kept shutting down all of my initiatives to improve ops and quality. This company later had a massive meltdown. I wasn’t surprised and just glad I wasn’t subpoenaed.
The same way you would back up passwords stored in iCloud Keychain, 1Password, KeePassXC, etc.

> I never understood why ignoring this special character requires a totally separate encoding.

Because the BOM is indistinguishable from the "real" UTF-8 encoding of U+FEFF (zero-width no-break space). Trimming that codepoint in the UTF-8 decoder means that some strings like "\uFEFF" can't be safely round-tripped; adding it in the encoder is invalid in many contexts.
