Taxis suck swamp ass. Until they can’t scam you by taking circuitous routes, they are severely inferior.
Yup. I already moved out of my home country and that was one of the reasons. Sudden interest of governments in the old ways.
You’re exaggerating, there are degrees between “being exposed to disturbing concepts” (which does not imply abuse) and “rough childhood” (which does, or at least mistreatment).

You could frame it the other way: “are people with sheltered childhood more likely to suffer mental illness”? And my experience would suggest that the answer is “yes”.
What part of “Let me save you an hour” is factual and emotion-free?
Got it, I was thinking of the locations as being i.i.d. in that you do not have any information on their location. You and others are saying that adjusting the symbol counts as you go would give the same performance to other algorithms. Looking into that, thanks.
interacting with parents as an adult is weird, you're expected to be perpetually deferential to them simply because you started your relationship that way. (perhaps even more so in asian cultures like mine and the author's). I'm not surprised that people would rather not have even their work lives pushed into that framework.
I like a product from Ford, if I own it I have the right to install whatever I want right? Except Ford has no obligation to make their products compatible with other car makers. If I wanted to LS-swap an F150 it would require a lot of technical knowledge, time, and help but it can be done. You can develop your own jailbreaks for iOS it just requires a lot of technical knowledge, time, and help.

Unlike say, coreutils, ntp is something very far from being a solved problem and the memory safety of the solution is unfortunately going to play second fiddle to its efficacy.

For example, we only use chrony because it’s so much better than whatever came with your system (especially on virtual machines). ntpd-rs would have to come at least within spitting distance of chrony’s time keeping abilities to even be up for consideration.

(And I say this as a massive rust aficionado using it for both work and pleasure.)
Hair stylists, auto mechanics, construction workers [..] all work under these conditions

Please specify under what conditions you mean here, because I know of no hair stylists nor construction workers that work by only doing the jobs that are allocated to them by a single company yet have no employment contract with that company. Either they own the hair salon/garage, or they get paid whenever they are available for work at said hair salon/garage by said owner.
The problem isn't the AI. The problem is the content distribution systems that corporations have created. AI just happens to make it easier to game+automate some of their systems for instant wins.

Ultimately it's the entitled "I need money fuck you" attitude that enshittifies everything neoliberalism touches, with a toxic blend of desperation (some people really do need the money) and boundless narcissistic opportunism.

Tech has become enmeshed in that, and is a major enabler and amplifier of it. It doesn't have to be, but it's where we are now.
According to this article, Digital Markets Act (DMA).
This is actually an interesting point. There's a tendency to assume that the core of a story is the same, even if the way it's told is different. I wonder how many generations of retellings it takes for us to notice significant differences.

Lane keeping is dangerous as it can cause over correction. AEB is a pretty binary triggered reaction and happens so fast it won't interfere with normal driving.
Doesn't make the conclusion incorrect. I don't feel the need to convince anyone else of this.

I also don't have time to dig up that original material and I don't have time to reassess the library to see if it has improved, though I doubt it, because I am still certain it is philosophically an unsound idea. I suspect most experienced C coders if they get one look at that they'd say "ok that's kinda cool but seriously don't do that".
There is also a word for this in Icelandic I believe. I remember seeing an interview with the Icelandic band Sólstafir, and they said this is the meaning of their name. I can't find the link now though.
Is it a joke? Apple is 27% of Apple revenue, profit is irrelevant as this is just finance engineering and you can put the value you want for tax reason.
What Apple does is bad but they don't tax 30% of every transaction. Apple isn't taking a 30% of your Uber or DoorDash, they charge 30% for sales made
on their platform for digital goods and services redeemed on that platform.

I think it's harder to argue that Sony shouldn't be allowed to take a cut of game sales on the PS5 outside of "well we all decided collectively to make that illegal because we don't like it." And honestly that's plenty enough for legislation but it's not going to be without consequences because Apple will extract their pound of flesh somewhere, can't have profits go down.

> The commission says a fee for such matchmaking is justifiable but what Apple charges goes “beyond what is strictly necessary”.

The EU commission is a hair away from just telling Apple what they're allowed to charge which I don't love. Either how Apple extracts fees is legal and how much is up to the market, or it isn't. Saying "it's legal as long as the percent is small enough" is silly.
The current reference point.

“Do better” with no extra object specified means the implied subject should improve with respect to itself. Grammar only requires an extra subject in instances such as “Do better than …”.

As a further example, someone talking to me might say “spend less time arguing with randoms on the Internet and performing other pointless pontification” and an listener/reader literate in the language being used would know not to need nor expect an extra subject to be specified.
When I travel to work, the time from me rotating my phone screen to present it to the qr reader window on the gate until the time that the gate opens is <1 second always. I’ve never encountered a delay, it doesn’t seem all that sensitive to what angle you hold your phone at either, it’s only sensitive to distance I’ve found, you need to hold it no more than 2 inches away.

Separately we have revenue enforcement patrols with handheld scanners. The time from the red flash of the scanner on my screen (triggered by the person holding the scanner, it’s not constantly scanning) until the beep for ticket result is < 200ms, I.e. it feels very much almost instant but with a little perceptible delay.
“we should absolutely make the originals available, next to the "sanitized" versions that are clearly labeled as "not original" or "loosely based on the original story"”

My point was definitely not to imply otherwise and I’m sorry if I did. I don’t think it’s wrong to create a new work that happens to eclipse the old work in popularity, I do think it’s wrong to eliminate or censor the old work entirely.

> That's not true. To give a trivial example, a set or sequence of numbers is composed of numbers but is not itself a number. 2 is a number, but {2,3,4} is not a number.

That's still a number because everything in a digital computer is a number or an operation on a number. Sets are often encoded by binary bit strings and boolean operations on bitstrings then have a corresponding denotation as union, intersection, product, exponential, powerset, and so on.
Except they only have very limited use. Smartphones are now ubiquitous.
Well, see, that was my question. Are there a plethora of alternatives for China? If they cut off Iran, where would they get the replacement oil from? Who has the capacity. Are they willing to sell to China? If so, at what price? If it's freely available, and at the same price, that answers my question. If it's only available at a higher price, then the question is, what does that higher price do to China's economy? And if it's not available at all, what does the absence do to China's economy?

You said "a plethora of alternatives". Are there, really? Can you (or someone) show that others are ready and willing to supply that much oil?

Salaried !== full-time.

Millions of people in the UK are legally salaried workers on "zero-hours" contracts, where they aren't even guaranteed a minimum number of hours. Paid through PAYE (payroll), have workers rights, just not a guaranteed number of hours.

Most can choose when they work, many have more than one of these jobs.

It's not a good way to live but it's at least possibly a better way to live than the gig economy.
It is kind of like a tradition in France to not give perfect scores (20/20) to tests, especially in humanities. The idea is that there is no such thing as a perfect essay, and so, no perfect score.

Perfect scores are much more common in hard science and maths, where it is usually a simple matter of answering correctly to every question, but some teachers are still hesitant and may find some tiny imperfection to justify a "19/20".

I think it is becoming a thing of the past as perfect scores are becoming more common, but it was a time where getting a perfect 20/20 in philosophy for the baccalauréat was literally newsworthy, as in, it gets talked about on national news.

As a reminder, you can always just uninstall OneDrive and call it a day.

Is this really true? Does it never get reinstalled or enabled by a cumulative update?
Nor how dangerous first-party services like iMessage still are, for zero-click exploits like Pegasus. The average iPhone user knows almost nothing about their device outside of what Apple directly markets to them as true.
>Contractors show up they need five guys to roof a house. When they get to the job site maybe they realize that nothing is ready so they all go home with a pittance if anything at all.

I worked in construction for about a decade, including with companies that supplemented crews with day labour when required, and we were always required to pay at least 4 hours (even if we sent them home after 5 minutes).
Making the terminal more lively is a laudable goal. My only peeve is that a video or gif of those effects would have been most perfect.
No, not necessarily. Compared to interactive prompts / processes, at a minimum ones that can help audit access (e.g. 1password), there is an immediate layer of defense missing when things are just sitting in plain text in the history. (Same extends to our beloved `.env` files.)

If you do a lot of remote pairing or screen sharing then you also remove the risk of sharing on accident by searching or walking up through your command history.
I think stories about King Arthur would be a good comparison. They fit a similar cultural niche, but we have lots of different versions that were written down over the centuries.
> I check my mirror to see if I'm likely to get hit from behind if I brake hard.

I do this too. In fact, if I need to brake suddenly, I initially over-brake. I then check the rear-view while easing off slightly.

By over-braking I have some extra room to coast forward if the following car is still approaching too quickly. And my hope is that the initial more rapid deceleration causes the person behind to react more quickly and strongly than otherwise.

It also hedges for me in the event that I misjudged the severity or if the person in front brakes increasingly aggressively. By going harder early I can always ease off if it’s unwarranted. But in the event the car in front hits something or otherwise slams to a halt, I’ll be better off than if I initially braked more conservatively.

Certainly, a loan was mentioned only for reselling, as a typical business loan to finance a surefire-looking deal.
> The 'piracy' element is running an activation script off of GitHub.

You're modifying software against the terms of service to have functionality only offered by an entirely different license that costs substantially more.

Yeah, you're not downloading ISOs or using cracks but it is absolutely no less piracy.

> However IMO that is Microsoft problem and not mine for not providing a legal way for a normal consumer to get LTSC.

Sure, but that's their business decision and right. If you want it you can pay for it, just like if you want an expensive sportscar you have to pony up for that as well.

> Given that there is no torrenting and it is just a script you are running, I am legitimately curious about any legal ramifications.

For you individually, I'm sure you know they won't care, just as they already don't care about all the gamers with all the watermarked pirated versions of Windows.

You're more than likely absolutely safe. But it's still just as much piracy as downloading an ISO and using a crack, and you would be just as legally culpable.

> For me once I hit "most" and not "all" I asked myself why I was bothering,

Honestly it's because Windows is still your enemy. You can tame it, but you have to fight with it. Sure, you can get it pretty good, and you eliminate a lot of problems using the ltsc version, but you still don't own the software and they could still fuck with it and by extension you and one day there might not be a script to fix it.

Personally, I think it makes significantly more sense to keep windows around only to run the few games that won't work on Linux, not as a main OS. At this point, even the LTSC versions, are basically untrusted, hostile software.

Everyone's has different views on this though, balancing conveience and other needs, so it's not like there's an objective answer.
Is this even new? Pretty sure I dealt with exactly this setting up a Windows 11 install last year. Had to do it multiple times too due to a flakey SSD I ended up returning.
> Subscribe to the blog's RSS feed?

Which has the 10 or 20 most recent posts, but not the post from 12 years ago. If it's a wordpress blog, you can use pagination tricks to get older posts, but, AFAIK, there's no standard way to say "Give me all of the posts" when fetching the RSS feed.
I've bought many leather wallets in the US even from seemingly upscale places like Nordstrom's. They all kinda fell apart after a few years. I bought a leather wallet in Italy near the Trevi Fountain for roughly the same price almost decade ago and it's by far the best wallet I've ever owned. It's even aged in a nice way.

Imagine if there were car retailers, though.

Towns don’t all need one Unilever store to sell your Ben&Jerry’s, your Dove body wash, and your Hellmans Mayo, then a separate Procter and Gamble store that sells Tide, Pampers and Bounty.

Why can’t you just get all the main car brands at Costco?
Apple products are general purpose computers while Ford is not.
What sort of code toolchains do you use? I've used a bit of windows before via WSL and Cygwin and it left a lot to be desired. It felt pretty similar to the problems i encountered on OSX when needing to run Linux specific tooling on docker containers. Ie not great.

Curious on what you use, and how your experience might overlap with mine these days?
What distro / window manager were you using? I've been using Pop!_OS and hadn't really noticed blurry fonts, per se, but neither linux nor windows look as good as my mac.
> At the heart of the move, say the two companies, is a six-year-old pay rule in New York that, among other things, requires firms like Uber and Lyft to pay drivers for the idle time they rack up between rides.

Remember, Uber and Lyft were created to get around labor laws, and here we see the companies continuing to try to skirt labor laws. It is a standard move of capitalists to fight regulations tooth and nail to try to protect their profit margins. These are fundamentally unprofitable businesses built on exploiting vulnerable workers.
On my gaming rig that I've had for quite a few years now, it has never been re-enabled and I've never been nagged about it.
> The claim that RSS unsupported, no longer in widespread use, and/or is merely a remnant of a previous era is factually incorrect.

I did not say they were factually correct, merely that I'd lump RSS in with "things of the past" given how many sites and developers neglect it nowadays. I was pretty clearly saying that their opinion isn't unfathomable to me.

The slow decline of RSS is not some new topic and this very site has discussed the topic for the better part of a decade. You're free to feel whatever you'd like tho.
> Intel apparently forgot what made them worth choosing over competitors like ARM

People (myself and others I know) choose ARM chips because they don't absolutely mandate the purchase of sanctioned chipsets/other supporting components you don't have access to, impossible-to-obtain specs, etc.

To summarize my objections, it seems like a “punish the shareholders” strategy has at least three problems:

1. Punishing shareholders doesn’t sufficiently discourage corporate management. They are usually fine even if the stock price takes a hit. The fact that corporate management may not act in the best interests of shareholders is a known example of the Principal-Agent Problem.

2. Shareholders might not know that bad behavior is happening, and even if they do, we want to discourage bad behavior that regulators might not find out about, and before it happens.

3. Many investors are not actively investing, but using robo investing services like Vanguard for their 401k. That means that even if you’re technically an “investor” you’re not actively investigating companies for fraud.

AFAIK, no. You shouldn't be able to run any of them when the device is locked.
Maybe the IMEI one is an exception - but what these codes usually do is that they start an Android activity: exactly the same as clicking an app icon in the app drawer.

The only difference is that some activities (e.g: Engineering App main activity) aren't supposed to be visible to the average smartphone user as they can have also negative outcomes if used improperly (for example, placing a call to 911 of factory resetting the device)
Microsoft makes it a pain, but you can still jump through some CLI hoops to use only a local user account to log in to Windows, rather than the cloud-conmected Microsoft account they try to funnel you into. Not logging into a Microsoft account prevents OneDrive from doing anything other than spamming you with notifications about how great it would be if you logged in and started using it. And you can still uninstall OneDrive after every major OS update that brings it back.
To me Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook they all seem by a degree or another totally out of control. They seem to be so careless of any short-long term consequence that I wonder if there is any accountability at all or if it’s just a shitshow of who does perform better and get bonuses
Seems like they are following the letter of the law.
> If your argument succeeds in proving that computer programs can't have intentionality, an essentially similar line of argument can be used to prove that human brains can't have intentionality either.

I don't see why that's true. There is no formal theory for biology, the complexity exceeds our capacity for modeling it with formal language but that's not true for computers. The formal theory of computation is why it is possible to have a sequence of operations for making the parts of a computer. It wouldn't be possible to build computers if that was not the case because there would be no way to build a chip fabrication plant without a formal theory. This is not the case for brains and biology in general. There is an irreducible complexity to life and the biosphere.

I keep a fractional-inch tape measure in the toolbox in my work truck because that's what everyone else (in the US) has, and I need to be able to work with others. I also have to carry around two sets of wrenches, two sets of sockets, two sets of Allen keys, and it's all quite frankly absolute bullshit. But that's the world I get to participate in.

At home in my own geeky little workshop, where I don't need to satisfy anyone else's proclivities, everything is exhaustively and exclusively metric-only. My tape measures are metric, my hand tools are metric, my drills are metric, and my fasteners are metric. Working with Freedom Fractions is absolutely forbidden in my workshop (as are all screws with Phillips, JIS, Pozidrive, or Reed-Prince heads, but that's a different rant).

And, I must say: It's better this way.
I've never found any compelling reason to set up Windows 11 (or 10) with an online account. Things like this just reinforce my decision to stick with a local account.
You are saying that conditional on some additional information (or structure) you can get better compression. But that is saying something tautological: conditional on the entropy being lower the entropy is lower. In your case you are assuming you already know the symbol frequencies and you don’t count that as information. However you are comparing against a model where that is not assumed.
Why do you need to argue (whatever that means to you)? Just take a ticket, do the work, and check out mentally at the end of the day.
My parents read Roald Dahl to me and would put on Watership Down years before I was 7, without ever tainting the world for me. The same was true for several generations of British kids. A happy ending after a disturbing struggle is more like a way of instilling durable optimism in children.
