They all lie to congress with impunity. The courts don't hold them accountable. They think themselves above the executive. They are completely out of control but you seem to think they're all squeaky clean except for the FBI? There is literally zero rational reason to believe that, because there are no effective mechanisms for making them honest.

The CIA once proposed to commit terrorist attacks on American soil to create a justification for war a against Cuba. JFK turned them down but was anybody in the CIA ever punished for it? Hell no, and there is reason enough to think they may have even murdered him for that rejection. Even if you don't believe that, none of them have ever been punished for their abuses and there has never been reform.
Xlib is definitely custy but that example isn't really that convincing as you're not going to be interning atoms all the time but ideally only during initialization - after all the whole point of atoms is that you only pass the strings once over the protocol and then use the numeric IDs in subsequent requests.
There is nothing to do on my dumb phone, not even games, so hopefully I don't feel the need to check it every 5 min :)

Well, according to Occam's Razor...
One should not forget that cartilage has no arteria/vene system to provide nutrients to the cells and to rid them of the metabolic garbage. This is only done by passive diffusion, driven by compression/decompression of the e.g. discs.
And cartilage has no nerves. So the body has to make up pain if it thinks something is wrong, based on some at least to me atm not known parameters in the tissue around the cartilage.

The best medicine for backpain is physical activity, especially with respect to the mentioned compression/decompression. The human body is made for walking, so that is one good treatment. But in some cases it may not be enough, and more special physical exercises may be needed. If you understand German, the YT vids of Liebscher-Bracht helped me a lot. But general flexibility training should in most cases be enough.

With mental exercises, one may get rid of the pain, and that might be enough in cases where it is a mere misinterpretation ,or wrong fixation of the interpretation, of the cartilage status. But e.g. a disc bulge is definitely a pathological condition. One that in many many cases can be healed with rather simple physical exercises.

A good muscle 'armor' around the joints can prevent the pathology and often attenuate the severeness of done damage.

So please exercise. Being dependent on medics and health systems adds to the decapacitation which is todate en vogue. Sapere aude!
Do you perhaps mean to argue you think it helped other browsers lose users slower than they otherwise might have? From your link:

> Competing browsers saw their traffic increase,[16] suggesting that these smaller competing developers were gaining users. However, long-term trends show browsers such as Opera and Firefox losing market share in Europe, calling into question the usefulness of the browser choice screen.[1]

Opera is the smaller competitor referred to in both halves and it lost user share in Europe while this was in effect. About the only thing the ballot can claim is a loss in users of the 1st party browser IE but that effect was already occurring prior to the ballot anyways.
Just because many webapps are bloated doesn't make the size any less ridiculous.

Right, I am deliberately childless largely thanks to those challenges. But that guy of course has plenty of children. I struggle to find a word to describe how I feel about that.

I may be in the minority, but the community does not raise my child. I do. As such, I will talk to them, set our family’s standards after consultation and monitor appropriately. If it turns into a discipline situation, I have no qualms about going there. Or if it turns into a praise situation, I have just as few qualms about going there.

Government regulation cannot and will not replace parenting. If government regulation worked, groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving would not have to exist.

Moral is - talk to your kids. If porn is too hard to talk about, you weren’t ready to have children. It’s time to start building relationships with trustworthy adults who can talk about porn, sex, consent and all those other wonderful things with them. Because guess what dude? If parents don’t, someone will and their intentions may not be good.
Technically speaking, Stripe has nothing to do with this(since they are the middle man). I'll telling you this because I recently won 2 chargebacks against amex bank.

In the appeal process, Stripe will give you a rating of how likely you are to win this dispute.

Ignore this rating.

When disputing, you need to provide solid evidence of:

- Whether said customer read tos

- Login logs with ip addresses

- Terms and service

- Communications(emails, chat logs, etc)

- A simple brief on your business and why this chargeback was in error(I do this)

This will 90% of the time make you win the chargeback.

However in the longer run, I've found you're better off focusing on avoiding suspect users. Here's another article on how you can avoid them:

I remember a few years ago when a local "green" grocery store swapped out polypropylene hot food bar containers for cardboard compostable containers.

I looked up the manufacturer of these "compostable" containers and discovered they keep oils out of the cardboard with a PFA coating. PFA-laden compost, just what any gardener would want. /s
> Sorry, this does not make much sense. Why would you need a timing attack to read memory from your own address space?

If you're making a VM such that the running code can only access a particular array, Spectre allows a timing attack that can get malicious code in the VM access to the full memory space.

You're right that it's not that scary for most use cases. What it really means is that it's hopeless to make memory inaccessible to a sandbox without putting a process isolation barrier betwixt the two, as there's no real way to close out all of the timing attack possibilities. In principle, if the only thing you needed to foreclose was memory vulnerabilities, then sufficiently good programming™ would let you have the sandbox in the same process space; as a matter of practice, though, anyone looking at product security seriously would still make you put in process isolation, because that kind of good programming just doesn't exist at scale yet.

(Note that Meltdown, but not Spectre, allows timing attacks that cross process isolation domains.)
> And yes, like the original poster, most of them think they're the main character in an suspense-thriller where they're The Only Thing Saving Humanity From Itself, when really they're the stuck-up side relief character in someone else's romcom, at best.

"I can tolerate a million people dying, but I draw the line at one person dying without a clear person to sue."
In what way is this related to the fact that islamic scripture is open to interpretation due to the absence of a 'central authority' or 'leading interpretation' which denounces or abrogates the violent passages in scripture? Islamic eschatology is often used as a source by those who are intent on leading their adherents to violence:

https://sunnah.com/riyadussalihin:1820 : The Messenger of Allah said, "The Last Hour will not come until the Muslims fight against the Jews, until a Jew will hide himself behind a stone or a tree, and the stone or the tree will say: 'O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him,' but Al-Gharqad tree will not say so, for it is the tree of the Jews."

https://sunnah.com/muslim:2922 : The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2925 : Allah's Messenger said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews until some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O `Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'"

https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2926 : Allah's Messenger said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Da'esh used these Hadith (among others) as justification for their actions because they were intent on bringing about the end of history by instigating the final battle at Dabeq (close to Aleppo) where islam will prevail over the unbelievers.
The honest portfolio of bad passes should include plenty of companies that they would happily include as "good exits" that they passed on. It should also include a number of companies that they effectively killed by not investing, when the company would otherwise have been a successful entry in their portfolio.

To me, this is a way to brag about them being so selective that they rejected Google, so you can be excited when they offer you a deal at Acme AI.

Everything about this page underscores the importance of access to deals. Bessemer can afford to pass on Google because the quality of deals they get is so high that it's not too bad to pass on winners.
There's a lot baked into that thought, but I wanted to extract this part:

> There’s nothing morally wrong with ... building... gambling.

Say you're building a gambling system and building that system well. What does that mean? More people use it? Those people access it more? Access it faster? Gamble more? Gamble faster?

It creates and feeds addiction.

Russian propaganda always blames US state department for all kinds of random problems in Russia.

Navalny was accused of being a CIA asset, Middle East instability was there as some kind of sinister plot against Russia, even potholes in the road are somehow part of the plan.

I never thought I would see this get mirrored in the West.

Now there are people that believe that Russia blew up its own nordstream, that every bit on twitter is Russian bot, but there are no western bots, etc

Like I get that they are a sinister opponent, but you can’t blame everything on them
Considering how hypothetical all this discussion is, you seem to be overstating the matter.
The US wasn't founded by immigrants, it was founded by white supremacist colonizers.

There is a reason Americans don't care about immigration from Canada but wanted to build a wall with moats, gun turrets and razor wire across the southern border.
I'll reply here since your comment was first.

AI has the potential to go in many directions, at least some of which could be societally 'good'.

Advertising is, has always been, and likely always will be, societally 'bad'.

This differentiation, if nothing else.

(Yes, my opinion on advertising is militantly one sided. I'm unlikely to be convinced otherwise, but happy for, and will read, contrary commentary).
Their children born in the US can, once they are old enough. But I'm a little doubtful politicians are thinking that long term.

The real long term solution would be to make legal immigration easier and cheaper. But neither party seems to be pushing very hard for that.
Having been through due diligence for 3 start up sales, I will tell you 100% if you have GPLv3 code you are going to have a fun time justifying how it hasn't made your software FOSS.

Ive seen auditors with automated license software now that will find any GPLv3 code and dump it all to a CSV for you to discuss.

Someone left a GPL v3 license in one of our repos and it started an interrogation.

Maybe lawyers are overreacting, or maybe they don't want to fuck around and find out.

Spans are not a low-level feature, they are a general purpose container type representing a slice, like &[T] in Rust. That's it. Analyzers will nudge you to use them naturally next time you write int.Parse(text.Substring(0, 4)) to replace it with int.Parse(text.AsSpan(0, 4)) - you don't need an intermediate string, just a slice of it. But because they can wrap any memory, you can now pass anything to int.Parse that can produce a span of chars or bytes: stackalloc, pointer + length from C/C++, an array, a string, etc. all unified with a single type.

Vectorization techniques themselves are not C# specific, but dotnet/runtime does have an introductory guide that demonstrates their "basic" use-case:

Microsoft leak of PlayReady developer / Warbird libs
It could use more verbose variable names and comments to give the reader more context. So the bus factor is very low.

If this programmer leaves the team and their large codebase like this is left behind, it will likely become a calcified legacy monolith of code that is expensive to maintain.

Today, such code would not pass code review and possibly some automated pre-submit testing (Halstead’s metrics, Microsoft’s maintainability index, etc) in the AAA companies I worked for that cared about code maintainability.

It’s not specifically about formatting or syntax. It’s more about whether a different programmer can look and understand exactly what it does, and what cases it handles, and which it doesn’t, at first glance. And the other programmer can’t be Carmack-experienced or grey beards — it has to be the usual mid-level dude.

The code could even be written in a self-documenting code paradigm with parts extracted into small appropriately named functions. And it doesn’t need to be done to some perfectionist extreme, just a little bit more than what Carmack did. It just can’t be what we jokingly refer to in the industry as academic code — made for one author to understand and for every other reader to be impressed but not work with.

1993 was a different time, more code was academic, most of it was poorly documented. And there were good reasons not to have function call overheads. We even used to do loop unrolling because that saves a jump instruction and a few variable sets (you only increment the program counter as you go). So some of the reasons why this code is the way it is are good. But in readability, we have evolved a lot in the games industry.

So much so that Doom’s code is pretty hard to read for most programmers. I asked around at work, in a large AAA company, and the consensus is that it’s archaic. But you know, it’s still good code, it did what it had to do, I’m not bashing it.
I assume it's primarily intended as marketing to founders they offer money to. You are joining a club so exclusive that even Google isn't in it.

> In the remaining 14 states and D.C., voters can cast a ballot in person on Election Day without showing an ID document. These states have "non-documentary" ID requirements, meaning voters must verify their identity in other ways, such as by signing an affidavit or poll book, or by providing personal information. All states have procedures for challenging voter eligibility.

I'd like to see people eating food grown by themselves and local farmers that they can actually meet and talk to. Neither of our hopes seem likely to happen unfortunately.

The sheer cost and time it would take to actually show with a high level of certainty that a chemical liner layer is safe won't work for the commercial food industry. It's much easier to claim some new process or packaging is totally safe, send that to regulators who largely outsource safety testing to the industry itself, and move on selling what is potentially toxic.

If I understand the announcement correctly, it just applies to certain types of PFAS intended as grease-proofing agents. Other types of PFAS have been approved for food use by the FDA, and aren't being eliminated.

It's a voluntary compliance on the part of manufacturers, spurred by FDA efforts.

...a voluntary commitment by manufacturers to not sell food contact substances containing certain PFAS intended for use as grease-proofing agents in the U.S.

It makes me wonder how they were getting away with using materials that weren't approved as food-grade in the first place. And also whether there's been significant development of substitute materials over the last few years and how much of a factor that was, outside of any implied FDA threats.
Yeah any wood pulp based food container is going to have coatings to block oils. and water. You're probably better off with plastic containers.

Not quite sure what to take away from this brief sentence.

By "hash table interface" does one include the O(1) lookups? That the elements must implement equality comparison and a hash value function? Or simply just generic non-ordered key-value store?

Often one just needs a key-value store, and O(log n) access is sufficient. Other times one needs the O(1). Sometimes the elements can't be compared for equality, but can be ordred.

But yes, dictionaries are very useful.
One thing that I learned about constellations when playing around with Stellarium: the 88 modern constellations are defined with nice round number coordinates, but in terms of the Earth's position in 1875. Since the Earth has shifted since then, that means that the constellation boundaries are not aligned at all with modern celestial coordinate systems.

In fact, Stellarium doesn't even support the 1875 celestial coordinate system that was used to define the modern constellations. (Which is fair; I'm sure that this is a very niche thing that is not at all useful for modern astronomy)
Singling out starlink is unfair. Satellites are so obviously advantageous that it is a sure bet that the sky will be filled with them very soon. Chinese, European, and others.

I'm not saying that the internet and technological advances have not benefitted humankind. They certainly have in the ways you described, and others.

But when it comes specifically to reducing economic inequality, they have not done that -- in fact, they have possibly exacerbated it.

Global poverty is a separate issue from economic inequality, and the gains there have been primarily from extremely low levels, primarily in China and India. In China this was driven by political change and also globalization that allowed China to become the world leader in manufacturing.

I would also put medical advances in a separate category than the internet and similar tech advances.
A "word" counter in C++ (not really, but kind of)

std::cout << std::distance(std::istream_iterator<std::string>(std::cin), std::istream_iterator<std:::string>()) << std::endl;

Don't do this :-) (Though I've used it in a pinch)
JP Morgan, Berkshire Hathaway, and Amazon, all huge employee counts, together seriously tried to tackle healthcare costs in the US.
Something like 3% of the population of the US are illegal immigrants. I'd be happy to gamble on that being too many people to expel. And although maybe there wouldn't be an official citizenship you'd get all the benefits of living in the US with confidence your kids would be full citizens.

Thinking it through I doubt it'd be for me - but there must be a lot of people in South East Asia for whom it'd look like a reasonable gamble at ~$100k. That wouldn't make up the bulk of the migrants, obviously, but there is a value proposition to justify the money.
And the Democratic party has a history of systematically rigging elections. The Chicago machine and Tammany hall only worked one way. The presidential election was notoriously rigged for JFK by his influential criminal father. There's very good reasons historically to argue either side of that opinion.

Let's say you eat tofu or something tofu-equivalent daily. That means you need to reuse one rectangular tofu bin daily. And that's a severe underestimate of the actual amount of plastic one generates in the course of a regular day, but let's say it's just the one box. And let's say you toss it every other day.

You still have 183 of those boxes after year 1. I don't know about your toolbox situation, but I will have run out of screws, nails, bits, bobs well before then to store.

It's a nice idea, and I do it too occasionally, but the size of the waste stream is just orders of magnitude more than one could reasonably reuse.

Somebody keeps inserting all that crap in between the things I really want, and it is time they are can't quite so cheaply do so.
