It's disappointing for that there is no FreeBSD release nor any easy way to find the source for that matter.

Even within their github, there's no source of the client unless I'm missing something?

https://github.com/orgs/thunderbird/repositories

Edit: Wow, to the down-voters you seriously hate FreeBSD that much that I cannot even state my opinion without yourselves needing to down-vote? Why?

It is disappointing that we can't have another OS in the same realm as others and yet we have to keep the whole fanboi cliche going. It's ridiculous, we live in 2024 and yet still have this petty rivalry.

If Thunderbird is able create packages for Snap, Debian, CentOS anything else Linux -- why can they not create packages for FreeBSD?
Given the topic of the paper[0], the footnote is especially charming:

No worries! I wasn’t familiar with these launches offhand myself so your post piqued my curiosity leading me to look the history up myself. And you weren’t far off - if the original launch failure hadn’t occurred, it’s entirely likely that the second launch failure would have been lethal and possibly even more other launches besides that one. Safety and reliability is a moving target but is always worth investing in because it also helps drive costs down and reduces failure modes that may not even be detectable or predictable due to black swan events.
They sell it as organic which precludes use of antibiotics in most developed markets.

In the same way that Amazon is a book company - Shein is a highly tech-driven fashion company - they use big data/AI/custom systems to manage everything from prediction fashion trends, managing the supply chain and customising the user experience.
$2 million is still cheaper than requiring all the bee keepers to vaccinate. Burning seems like a better solution.
Perhaps a national insurance fund to help with unlucky individuals.

Also the country marketing themselves as having organic honey is worh a lot more.
I've paid like $50 for a small jar of nz honey in Dubai airpot, because of reputation...
Champaign from Chapagnia
I didn't say anything explict about the US staircase policy. All I said is that the trends on fire deaths the other person identified in Finland apply here in my experience, and that additional stair cases won't help those deaths. The logical part is that if you're unaware of danger (asleep/passed out), you can't take action to avoid it. The policies that would help in those situations are sprinklers, but there's some controversy on them being mandated.
I recommend anyone who is interested in this area read "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" by Atul Gawande. Not just for the financial aspects, but an overall deconstruction of the broken end-of-life care system in the country. By making "extend one's life for a few days/weeks by any means necessary" as the gold standard for good medical care, we have lost sight of what healthcare should actually be about. Choice, dignity, comfort are all thrown out of the window in favor of metrics and profit.
Yes, in their houses, and never out in public.

The tension here is the expectation of privacy for signals broadcast outside of one’s property and into the commons.

We don’t yet have a firm grasp on how to handle the issue of extending privacy into these shared spaces. There just seems to be two unreconcilable polar extremes at the current moment without a clear path forward.

You know already which way these forums lean and in an environment with populist karma and up and down votes there’s not much room for compromise.
>It feels like we are in a wilderness period right now where every appliance wants its own app, with online account, which is just a supercharged way to get more personal data from their customers.

It's also software-imposed planned obsolescence. If you think an appliance manufacturer is inclined to maintain software and servers for the functional life of the hardware, then I have a bridge to sell you.
They are an annoyance, but it is great not to have websites track you if you select them not to.
Ladders last a long time: Reading Raphael Samuel
100%. Desktop Docs uses ffprobe under the hood to get file metadata.
I guess New Zealand has an isolationist policy and they don't want to introduce new chemicals into the environment. Burning probably isn't that huge issue for for small, side hustle beekeepers that have just a few boxes in few different spots. 3000 is an insane amount.
OpenAI, Reddit teaming in deal that will bring Reddit's content to ChatGPT
Extremely annoying.
IMHO privacy is important. If a domain owner wants to be contacted, they know where to put their contact info.
To be frank, I suspect that there is little intellectual meat to either of these systems. They appear to both be no more than formally aproved indexes.
I hate all the illegal consent popups.
This can be an unpopular opinion but I work at a company in the EU and feel the law is very positive for consumers in general.

In today's world users hand over their data to a huge number of companies for all kinds of different reasons and it's important to know that those companies are pushed by the law to only collect and retain the information they need to provide their services.
For those asking, from TFA: "Burning the hives was more painful when other countries used tools like vaccines, antibiotics and sterilisation - measures prohibited in New Zealand and in some export markets."

GDPR is way overrated. For most businesses it was a minor annoyance, but the benefits are nowhere to be found. Our data is mashed potatoes now (GPTs) and will forever be. Politicians loved GDPR because it gives them +100 undeserved virtue points.

The real problem with BigTech is the addictiveness , and we are only beginning to wake up to it
> If not ok, can't use website.

If you care to read it, you'll find out this is the opposite of what it says.
Its great to know which websites track you and which don't.
Not really? In those examples the hand crafted 3d assets already exist, this thing could at best recreate the 3d geometries the show creators made themselves. That seems useful mainly for cloning someone else's work.
It's subjectively objective. Rust syntax is hard and spiky, like a crab's carapace.
I guess teaching drone operators proper pursuit tactics is impossible?
They are annoying, disrespectful, unwarranted and unasked for.

But with uBlock Origin and Firefox, we have solid tooling to almost never see them now.

GDPR is also not the issue. The issue is incentives to track people.
My least favorite part of GDPR is the requirements around processing EU citizens data inside EU servers. China has similar laws and I think other countries will follow suit.
But it is stupid to destroy the forests for this PLASTIC things
Indexing file metadata is on the roadmap. Right now Desktop Docs will render file metadata (resolution, file size, duration), but planning on making this a searchable field.
They are annoying but not needed if people would respect privacy. How about don’t use tracking or collecting too much info? Then you don’t have to put them.
GDPR is not the ePrivacy directive.

The later is the one that resulted in the cookie banners, the former protects the right of Europeans to have their private data remain so.
Cookie banners are just like ad banners: adblock fodder.
> It's just not described by...

Yes, I know - I think I read the parent comment as "If it is physically and financially [reasonable] to make your product safer, you do it"

This is basically what I was taught working in automotive safety.

> ... what's the cut-off? There must be a cut-off...

There's no hard $$ or other cutoff though, it's a soft cutoff that may come down to engineers and/or management arguing about what is really safer.

> Boeing has a slightly different problem in that they actively made something less safe and lied about it.

Yes I agree, for Boeing it is different, reading about their management's intention destruction of positive safety culture is sickening.
If consistency was highly desirable you'd just model the 3d space from the start...
Yes, GDPR is worth it. It’s not cookie banners.

If you’re going to maintain a database about members of the general public, you should be responsible for stewardship of that data. The GDPR requires some forms of data stewardship that are inconvenient for businesses, but that’s why it’s a government regulation. When all businesses have to do it, individual businesses won’t need to put themselves at a competitive disadvantage for expending the cost to do the right thing.

Idc about the cookies, they can repeal that part if they want. But keep the rest of it.
I suppose that if someone wants to be communicated with, they would provide a contact link on the website in question. Not to mention that the whois databases could provide the option for a public profile. Loudly complaining however is much easier and much more popular.
It is nice to see which websites do not value their visitors' privacy. It is too bad that there are so many of them.
Special trick: if you want something to look like it was made in Germany, paint it in RAL colours. Works like a charm every time.
People are asking because other countries also burn hives.
The ones that disappear AS SOON as you click your choice are ok :-)
After reading all comments, not rushing to the comments, I have to say, I have a quiet leaf blower to, it is, as mentioned in this thread somewhere else, a rake and I would appreciate if more people would use one.
What the fuck? No.

That makes as much sense as `int *i`, when `int* i` is obviously the correct (though heterodox) way.
I’m a run of the mill developer and I consider it a net positive.

Less sensitive customer data to process.

Less stuff compromised in case of a security breach.

Easier to say no to product managers who wants to unnecessarily track customers.

Faster response times since fewer scripts are loaded on fist visit.

The largest flaw is the lax enforcement in some EU countries.
They are easier to click now, first sites with cookie wall setups were often bad pattern, hard to disagree with non essential cookies and so on, they basically forced you or tried to trick you into accepting all cookies, essential, marketing, social and what not. Now you see more sites that have default setting to only allow essential.

But regulator obviously didn't know how cookies work, what they are good for, what they are bad for and whatever they try to outlaw now gets correlated via different means. User-agent, ip and some other browser fingerprinting.

So bottomline, we have to click once more (or every time, when private/incognito mode) when you visit a site.
Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate you taking a look. Right now there is a demo on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIUgPNHOKKc

Planning on adding more photos/videos to the site soon.
I always choose the “essential cookies only” option. This is normally harder than accepting all cookies, but it is getting easier over time. I rarely see a site that has essential-only.
Nothing to do with GDPR and everything to do with unwanted spam from email and phone number harvesting.
I wish the rules for consent banners were actually enforced. What bothers me most is when some site clearly doesn't care and puts up a "you consent by viewing this site" banner.

It's understandable, they can do whatever they want without any consequences right now, but that needs to change.
ATF: you got a tax stamp for that suppressor?
you see, why? ;-)
Is there an OpenCL backend?
I like it. Gives you good idea who actualy cares about their users and who consider us to be the product.
What's even more annoying is there were already browser plug-ins, and now there are built-in browser tools, for rejecting cookies or deciding which cookies to store permanently versus which to accept temporarily. GDPR forced a one-size-fits-all solution to a "problem" that was already solved, and got people used to a hostile UI pattern on websites.
Meh. Grandparent who thinks "C is horrible" just isn't used to C. Familiarity breeds facility, that's no surprise. But no, Rust is just bad at this point given all the stuff that's been added and all the historical idioms that were pushed and then abandoned. It's not C++ bad, but it's objectively "worse" than C whose quirks all fit in a tiny K&R paperback.
I concur that sounds really good. That's not how it works now though, which is why graffiti artists reclaim the space as the people that use it. Right now, the space is decided by people in power and with money. Rarely do we ever get real say about how it looks, and we never will. If we did own the public spaces and could make these decisions together, then I'd be down for that, and graffiti probably wouldn't be the same sort of subculture that it is.
Wow, Bend looks like a nice language.

> That's a 111x speedup by doing nothing. No thread spawning, no explicit management of locks, mutexes. We just asked bend to run our program on RTX, and it did. Simple as that. Note that, for now, Bend only supports 24-bit machine ints (u24), thus, results are always mod 2^24.

Ahh, not even 32bit? Hmm, that seems pretty arbitrary for someone not accustomed to gpu's and wanting to solve some problems requiring 64 bits (gravitational simulation of solar system at millimeter resolution could use ~58bit ints for position).
For domains, yes. For IP addresses, no, as abuse email addresses are still a requirement.
Congrats on the launch.

I know the docs say this will be fixed soon, but what is the main reason for restricting number types to 24 bits? I saw in the code that they are wrapper around the 32-bit system number types, so what prevents Bend from changing them to U32(u32) right now?
let me give the reason why:

Not currently, but that is on roadmap to add soon. Right now you can search for famous people, but not custom tagging. I can let you know when this is supported.
Not sure Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran are really aligned.

China probably feels the same way about Vladivostok as they do about Taiwan, another territory lost in an "unequal treaty" during "a century of humiliation". They've been on the brink before

https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB49/

Anybody who neighbors Russia is concerned about being overrun with tanks and Spetznaz. Iran was a reliable anti-communist ally of the US in the time of the Shah because of the geopolitical situation of Iran.

All of those countries have an interest in the US and NATO being overstretched, but I don't think China really cares if Russia wins or loses in Ukraine and Russia does not really care if China takes Taiwan.
Companies are comprised of people. Some people in some enterprises care. I'd wager that in any company beyond a tiny upstart you'll have people all over the hierarchy that dont care. And some of them will be responsible for toggling that setting... Or not, because they just can't be arsed to with how little they care about the chat histories of the people they'll likely never even going to interact with being used to train some AI.

I find them very informative, to have a clear indicator if a site's answer to upholding my rights is genuine effort or malicious compliance.
I can't believe that "what is farfalle?" wasn't cached--maybe requests to their cache is overwhelmed.

As for the pasta TIL they're known both as butterflies and bow-ties. Just noticed the onomapia--could be why opera is sung in Italian.
Someone bought this.

So the lesson here is: Don't go investing on art/historical stuff unless you know really well what you're doing.
If what you're saying is true, bars should sell just as much fruit juice as they do booze. If it's true, then no one should mind being the designated driver. I don't know if you've ever been out for drinks, but the reason you go is to get drunk. Sometimes you want to be more on the tipsy end than on the blackout end, but that is still drinking. The difference between drinking and a tea party is alcohol, and it blows my mind that you don't think that's significant. The people who want to meet up and drink something without alcohol go to cafés, not bars. There's a good reason why these two things haven't been combined.
If data is processed outside of the EU, presumably it would then fall under different laws?
They remind me of how we as humans often end up with ineffective solutions to problems we try to solve. It's like it goes off the rails halfway and ends up stuck there.
This is about the random sysadmins and devs that have to ensure their app or systems must comply with GDPR. Not the regulators.
I wonder how many websites show a cookie banner and don't change a thing whether you click Accept or anything else.
At some point someone made me realise that almost anything that can be said about graffiti can also be said about outdoor advertising.
Congrats to these students for producing a clever solution to a real practical problem! I hope that the students will own the patent, and not the university. Many schools have a way of taking ownership of absolutely anything their students come up with.

That said, I prefer just raking up leaves manually. It makes no noise, it's quiet, and it's good exercise.
When I wrote multiple times here that the targets for EV are unrealistic BS, many thought otherwise...

(Including the EU 2035 ones)
If we decided on all public use of space collectively, then yeah sure that would probably be better since it would be fairer. Unfortunately, this is not the system we live under. Therefore graffiti is a legitimate way for the community to express themselves in the face of undemocratic rule.
When are we going to hear that somebody got their startup funded with a pitch deck that was 100% AI generated?
Not everyone clicks ok. Having a choice is better.
"Bring" is one way to put it.
Possibly, but has Shein done any tech innovation remotely like Amazon?
They are the most adversarial implementation of the law. There is no requirement for them. The Do Not Track HTTP header would've been perfectly compliant but of course the ad companies -- and let's not forget Google is one -- did not want it. They want you to be pissed off by the cookie banners so eventually they might go away.
Was he making the software better for criminals because he wanted to help (and presumably benefit from) criminals, or was he just making the software more private for anyone, and that happened to help criminals too?

I don't know the answer, but I imagine looking at the benefits of his actions would help inform. Did he have ties to criminal organizations, or receive payments from them?
When they're function parameters, you can write them as regular function declarations, btw. ;) Might hurt your memorization efforts though.
> They are annoying, disrespectful, unwarranted and unasked for.

The tracking itself is : if there is a banner, it shows you this company is indeed disrespectful.
That seems to suggest that it is an alternative to Muncell, no better or worse. Muncell is the formal standard used to define the color of dental impamnts and beer, amongst other things.
Feels like reservoir sampling to me
Does it? Such vaccines are applied after/before season, bees will eat every bit of honey that may've been affected themselves. Then you put in clean frames for new, fresh honey. I don't know if it can be sold as organic, but it is always separated and the honey never touches any vaccines.
Agreed - this company - besides having a solid internet retail business - has big potential in being a logistic backend for other fashion brands. None of the existing retailers have the tech chops to do what Shein does in terms of logistics and supplier integration.
Same with debugging and error messages. At least it feels that way to me.
Oh, other countries don't use RAL? Do you use something else? I find it so convenient to order something in a RAL colour to match the colour palette of a building, or to buy power sockets in RAL9010 to match the type of white wall.
This should be done with API, not banners. As someone who prefers using Incognito mode in order to regularly clean cookies from third-parties, the choice of place of storing my GDPR preferences for each web-site is nuts.

BTW I do not use much websites with that banners because they are for idiots. Good forums and torrent trackers don't have that because there will be always an anark spirit on the Internets, no matter how severe the censorship is going to be. And this part of the Internets is really better part than the opposite one.
Yeah, good luck with that
We had a client choose protobufs / grpc which totally stalled the developers and created alot of problems and complexity. The client insisted for whatever reason and eventually ran out of money. Their unfinished code is sitting in some Github repository somewhere.

Run very fast from it, unless you have a VERY good reason to use it.
RAL is copyrighted, but they don't have a pack of legal maniacs chasing you down for using them. For example, Festool's specific green is RAL 6018 (Yellow Green) and you can use it as an interchange standard without paying them.
Surely the benefits are for the users?
> watch toddlers playing with toys—their imaginations are boundless and they are able to imbue even the most mundane objects with a sense of wonder and magic.

This example just annoys me. I can still out-create a toddler, that isn't hard. The issue with creativity is that toddler-level creativity isn't useful. The important part of creativity is being able to apply it while achieving adult-level goals.

The article doesn't ignore that as such, but this is like saying babies can handle the concept of abstract variables so we can all be programmers. True enough, but not at all a useful observation and it'll just depress the group of people who, for whatever reason, struggle hard and yet never become programmers. There are minimum standards that toddlers do not reach.
That is conventional set subtraction notation. "Assign to X the same set minus all elements of the set {a_i}".

While I agree that public control of public buildings is relatively vague in modern times, it still exists to some extent. If a mayor wanted to tear down a beloved building and replaced with an ugly one (as judged by the esthetics of the public in the town), they would face significant backlash and may lose a future election based on that: people in certain places care a lot about the look of their town (and in others, only vaguely).

Even beyond electoral politics, many cities have public NGOs and other organizations that seek to shape this sort of thing from an early stage through various legal means (and sometimes even through civil disobedience, like tying themselves to a building to protect it). If they are broadly in line with the tastes of the people, they tend to thrive; if they are not, they will often die out.

And yes, in certain cities and towns, people actually like the way grafitti looks and are bothered when someone goes and whitewashes a beautifully painted wall. That's perfectly fine, and is a part of the culture and esthetics of that place (and here, destroying the art that people enjoy is an act of violence against the public and/or the artist). But it's also perfectly fine for other places to want neat walls with clean textures, and marring their beautiful walls with grafitti would be an act that goes against the public.
