Well what's fair depends on your situation.

Let's say you invest 100k in Bitcoin and 10 years later it's 1M. In a capital gains system you would pay 252000 EUR in taxes on that (assuming 28% capital gains tax, which at least 1 country in Europe actually has).

In the capital tax system you would have paid between 15.000 and 100.000 EUR of taxes on that over the same 10 years. Which is... much less.

So you could argue that the tax on capital is much more "fair". It's definitely MUCH simpler in terms of administration, because you never ever have to prove the cost-basis of your investment. All you need to know is your current P&L. There are a lot of US brokers out there who deliberately "forget" to provide a cost basis when you buy shares (hello and fu DriveWealth).

I lost interest in video games all of a sudden when I saw how they were made, and how all those little design elements were made to keep the player's interest and attention. I was like "oh, I'm being manipulated constantly when playing this". Really put me off, like "seeing how sausages are made".
The US is a country with a history of outright kidnapping people from foreign soil - including that of friendly nations.

There's every chance here that this deal represents a way out for the US as well, and that it will be kept for that reason, but if the US government still wants him to stand trial, a plea deal and the risk of a minor diplomatic scuffle at a point in time where the UK parliamentary election will overshadow the case in UK media isn't going to stop them.

Keep in mind he doesn't have any support from the UK government - they'd rather be rid of him -, and the current UK government is almost certain to be out of government shortly. It's unlikely there'd be more of a diplomatic incident than a slightly stern letter.

I think he has reasonable odds - this case is likely at this point mostly just a nuisance for everyone involved except Assange himself. There's nothing to be gained, other than perhaps for some overzealous prosecutor. But I also would not be one bit surprised if something was to happen.

Not anymore, does it? https://eclecticlight.co/2023/10/25/macos-sonoma-has-changed...:

“I suspect these new evicted files take advantage of a trick in APFS: as far as I can tell, they consist of the file with its attributes and extended attributes intact and stored locally, but no extents for its data. Thus, when you ask for the file size, it returns the size it would be when downloaded, although the file only takes the space required for its attributes and extended attributes, until it has been downloaded.”

Also (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3150-g...):

“Check if a file is dataless and then only access it in a safe context. To do the check, call stat or getattrlist and examine if SF_DATALESS is present in stat.st_flags. Be aware that stat and getattrlist both trigger the materialization of any intermediate folders in the file’s path, if they themselves are dataless.”

⇒ doing stat on an entire filesystem will materialize all directories, but not its files.

Our project also includes a PTP implementation, statime (https://github.com/pendulum-project/statime/), that includes a Linux daemon. Our implementation should work as well or even better than what linuxptp does, but it's still early days. One thing to note though is that NTP can be made to be just as precise (if not more precise), given the right access to hardware (unfortunately most hardware that does timestamping only does so for PTP packets). The reason for this precision is simple: NTP can use multiple sources of time, whereas PTP by design only uses a single source. This gives NTP more information about the current time and thus allows it to more precisely estimate what the current time is. The thing with relying purely on GNSS is that those signals can be (and are in practice) disrupted relatively easily. This is why time synchronization over the internet makes sense, even for large data centers. And doing secure time synchronization over the internet is only practically possible using NTP/NTS at this time. But there is no one size fits all solution for time synchonization in general.
> We have implemented basic RAG—Retrieval Augmented Generation, where search results are used to answer a question—using a terminal script that scrapes search results from Google and pipes them into an LLM.

I love this. Simple and effective. RAG is just search leveled up with LLMs. Such an obvious thing to do. We know how to do search and can use it to unlock vast amounts of knowledge. Instead of letting LLMs dream up facts by compressing all knowledge into them, a better use of them is letting them summarize and reason about the facts it finds. IMHO the art is actually going to be in letting them come up with the right query as well. Or queries. It could be a lot more exhaustive in its searches than we could be.
What would the actual consequence be? Almost certainly nothing. That said, if the Americans wanted to drag this out further, they'd simply drag it out further, so it seems highly unlikely this is some ploy, however it's not impossible. Assange is more easily "forgotten" if they actually managed to imprison him in The States. But we'll see. I'll only completely believe it once he touches down in Australia.

Having recently started to experiment a lot with the BSDs (mostly Free, a little Open), which often don't come with even Bash out of the box (usually still Perl though), I can definitely relate to this. The more complex your workplace's OS ecosystem, the harder it gets to write anything which will truly run everywhere, unless you go all the way down to POSIX shell.

Setting up a machine or build system for older glibc is not trivial . If you know of any DISTRO which allows you to downgrade glibc out of the box please let me know. Keep in mind that if you go back enough you will also have trouble with kernel headers and compiler interactions. Even in yocto which is a build system that builds custom distributions from scratch does not have a great experience for different glibc versions than what is shipped.

Have a look at the nightmare recipes for libc. On the other hand they do provide the basics of how to ship a custom libc loader across heterogeneous machines but it gets complicated fast and not something any non specialist can do in an hour.

In my experience anybody saying to compile statically does not know about the libc limitations. When they find them they hand wave, I smile and say be my guest.

By the way 2.17 is an appropriate version to target. RHEL6 much? :D
Perhaps I’m boring, but I generally prefer to keep them as simple as possible (^_^)
that is something most parents can only ever dream of providing for their child. I don’t mean that in a demeaning way, that's something hugely desirable and probably positive in terms of development. But it’s sort of unattainable for a whole lot of people.

You could check out a tool for trade signal generation based on machine learning and feature engineering:

https://github.com/asavinov/intelligent-trading-bot

It trains ML models based on historic data and custom features and then uses them to generate a kind of intelligent indicator between -1 and +1. This intelligent indicator is then used to make trade decisions. Frequency is a parameter and can vary from 1 minute for crypto trading to 1 day for normal exchanges.

He gave others the opportunity to change things. Some have taken up the opportunity to varying degrees of success, most haven't. One man takes their place in history and tries to do the most good they have the opportunity to do. Hard to argue Snowden didn't do that.

Fair enough. I wonder if this has changed with the new EU regulations, at least inside the EU.
No, they don't, unfortunately. I feel like the term CRDT leads to misunderstandings like this. CRDTs are more like packaging and abstractions on top of various strategies for building multi-user, local-first UX, they let end users program against recognisable data structures like strings, lists and dictionaries. How they handle conflicts is implementation dependant and isn't anything new, many will fall back to LWW for example.
Thanks for spelling this out. I always thought the same, even as a child when I first saw the film: Ariel has a deep feeling of not belonging where she is combined with a yearning for human culture. It's obvious from the movie that her falling in with the prince is just the last step in a long line of "I should be up there, not down here" and not just some spur of the moment decision.

new Int32Array([2,7,-2, -7]).sort()

Result: Int32Array [-7, -2, 2, 7] (4)

The problem is you can put anything in array and JS can't really check that "everything here is a number", so it uses string as a common type because everything can be converted to string.

we need proper typed arrays, like Int8/16/32Array but with any class, not just int. The class itself will then define how to compare instances (python's __gt__ and so on).

I'm afraid this is a pretty common sentiment. NTS has been out for several years already and is implemented in several implementations (including our ntpd-rs implementation, and others like chrony and ntpsec). Yet its usage is low and meanwhile the fully unsecured and easily spoofable NTP remains the default, in effect allowing anyone to manipulate your clock almost trivially (see our blog post about this: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/121/hacking-time). Hopefully we can get NTS to the masses more quickly in the coming years and slowly start to decrease our dependency on unsigned NTP traffic, just as we did with unencrypted HTTP traffic.

He's actually agreed to confess to something which the US should have no legal authority over.

We must remember that the US are torturers who tortured people here in Sweden, right at Bromma airport, even after specifically agreeing not to torture them. It is not a country which should have any influence whatsoever outside its borders; and this is someone who exposed very severe crimes and who had no duty whatsoever to keep any US defence information secret.
Do write your side of the story as well. As a SE Asian, the history is fascinating to me, and we all know how a lot of it has been buried and misinterpreted.

My wife's grandma used to tell stories about Japanese wartime. Things like babies being thrown and 'caught' with a blade, about how a rebellious relative was tortured with a firehose but miraculously survived. How the Chinese ethnics would pretend to be Malay for fear of torture.

But she couldn't blog, so these stories all disappeared. Nobody was around to record or verify them either. She could be lying or it could be false memories for all we know. But we need the pieces to connect them and see which make sense or not.
Those teletype machines did need extra time to perform the two distinct actions associated with EOL, that is, the carriage return and line feed. Line feed seems like it would take a fixed amount of time, but CR could be pretty long if the carriage was all the way out near column 80 or 132.

So, two commands were needed on those teletypes because of how they work, not to introduce any delay. It's possible the baud rate could be slow enough such that all the mechanical movements are wrapped up during the transmission of two characters. But sometimes you need to insert a delay after an EOL, something you can set on lots of serial port terminal emulators (although that's usually done for different reasons). You can set a delay in the termcap parameters to account for this needed delay. I'm not sure if any of the common mechanical teletypes offered a handshaking line to hold off the computer until the motion stopped, but that would have been another option -- and a faster solution, since the delay time would be exactly what was needed (vs a maximum fixed delay of a software solution).

Those teletypes were originally meant to be used in teletype to teletype operations, where the maximum baud rate was fixed by the mechanical operation of the printing mechanism. If you interfaced a 60 baud TTY to a computer running at 9600 baud, you also have to delay between each character, not only at the EOL. I know this because I foolishly interfaced my Commodore C64 back in college to an old Army surplus Kleinschmidt TT-4 mechanical teletype. I had to deal with these delays, as well as converting the parallel ASCII of the C64 to the serial Baudot needed by the TT-4.

edit: I suppose they settled on CR/LF instead of LF/CR, because the former could be a little but quicker... the LF could be performed while the carriage was traveling back to the start of line. But that's just a guess.
Which is a shame, but that probably does make someone more boring at face value. I’ve suffered depression many times, I would say while depressed I was pretty boring to be around. Which is a shame, but probably true
> The work was not for profit and in the public interest.

Any bit of classified information can be reasonably considered in the interest of someone in the public.

Public interest can only mitigate the illegality of what you're doing, it doesn't just magically make the act illegal.

False dichotomy.

If you want to rob a bank, and you come and ask me to be the getaway driver, we're both going to hang. It doesn't matter who had the idea for the crime, what matters is that he materially assisted in carrying it out.

Now, if you robbed a bank, and just dropped a million dollars on my porch, that would be a different story. That's the defense journalists use when they receive illegally obtained information.

Oz is like most places, there's a large number of people for whom thinking for themselves from an even vaguely informed position presents too much of a logistical challenge (re. literacy, education, breadth of interest, pretense to regular reading, range of sources, adequate life experience to judge bias, ready echo chamber availability, swamp of familiarity, etc.). The minority of people who are educated, do hold broad enough interests and are capable of critical thinking are almost all in support of Wikileaks, IMHO. Some of them have been done in by the smear campaign, unfortunately.

I loved that show. I've struggled to explain to my teenage kids what the show was about and the appeal of it .. they don't get it. I used to tape it to VHS and still have said tapes in my loft, they haven't been played back since the late 90s. I dawned on me how much culturally significant material is probably on those tapes, down to the adverts and little MTV idents and the odd music video. I really must get round to getting them digitised.

Here's my fun personal story about the Sun Ra Arkestra:

I grew up as a music-mad kid in the Philly metro region, and a friend of mine and a fellow music fan somehow got the phone number for the Arkestra group home where Sun Ra and a bunch of the band members lived. It was in my wallet for a few months and I told myself the next time I hit the city, I'd call the number and ask to speak to Sun Ra while it was a local call.

So one night I call the number and this gruff voice says "Hello?" and I say, "Hello, I'd like to speak to Sun Ra" and this voice that I immediately recognized as that of John Gilmore, the sax player, yells at me "Go to bed, white boy!" and hangs up on me. Me and my friend, who was on an extension, burst out laughing...
