I think he is viewed very positively. Australians appreciate law and order but we also love to see a rebel break through and restore common sense once in a while.

Australia has been a loyal US ally historically and so our politicians avoid criticizing US as not to jeopardize that relationship. It's been a thorny issue in the relationship though as it has made our politicians look weak/cowardly whenever the topic of Assange was approached.
I'm not saying it would be accurate.
What is it for? Why do you want to upgrade? What are the constraints? Do you need to maintain 100% feafure parity?

10 to modern Next is a pretty big leap, especially if you're also going to move to the app router. The code mods might help a bit but not completely. Do you have older React code (class components etc.) or libs (old redux) and huge state trees?

If so it might be easier to rewrite the whole thing.

I've had to do a few rewrites like that and would typically do an exploratory investigation of each approach for a day or two, trying to better estimate the difficulty of each by partially starting a migration and partially starting a rewrite. Along the way I'd come up with a list of must haves vs nice to haves vs nice to get rid of, and use that to make a final decision.

But realistically, IMO a rewrite is inevitably cleaner (maybe with some functions manually ported over) and more maintainable over the long term.

Partial migrations for something like this means a lot of technical debt in the future. Next and React move too fast to keep up with piecemeal migrations like this cleanly. It's a very unstable ecosystem.

I'd probably end up extracting out the parts into modular components wherever possible, separating the business logic from the Next stuff (routing and caching and building) and the state stuff (meaning keeping components as pure as possible so state can be easily provided via whatever framework is popular that year)

> How will a single power plant project make it through, let alone e 2, 3, 4

I really don't see it myself. Particularly when we look at the Gillard government which had to rely on the Greens to get legislation through and that ended up with them negotiating a carbon tax. That sort of action against the nuclear industry can completely scupper a plant. There is huge sovereign risk in these things that we've seen materialise in Ukraine/the USSR, Germany and Japan. Even to a lesser extent in the UK and US with their approval processes. With a global record like that, I really don't see how the coalition's opinion matters in Australia; they've always been lightly pro-nuclear. Labor's opinions matters, and the Greens to an uncomfortable extent for an investor.
Is was never their house to begin with. We just allowed to not use it ourselves for a while but that doesn't mean we can't change that arrangement when we realize it's actually a very bad deal for most of us.

HOW? Until now we haven't needed a law because OS developers haven't been this brazen. In any case there are likely actually a few laws that can be used to litigate the you shouldn't need to be online to install and setup a computer. I'll bet that if they don't fix it themselves a class action will be incoming n citing privacy or child safety or maybe some other laws.

Switching to a Mac was one of the best decisions I ever made because of crap like this. The only thing that will ever make me use windows again is GTA 6!
Interesting question, actually I think building a computer out of vacuum tubes that would rival say an iPhone 15 seems impossible, the waste energy alone would be prohibitive. The Eniac used around 100 W per vacuum tube, for 10^13 tubes that’s 10^15 W, and that’s two orders larger than the global electricity output, and keep in mind you need to deliver that on a small cubic area of your computer and you need to dissipate that heat somehow (a 1 megaton nuke dissipates around 1 MWh of energy, so this computer would have to dissipate the energy equivalent of one billion megaton nukes per hour). Setting off a billion megaton nukes every hour in a small area seems almost as ridiculous to me as converting the entire mass of Saturn into energy. Also signal runtimes and crosstalk would likely make this infeasible as well. So no, you would never be able to scale vacuum tube technology to the current level of semiconductor physics, not even remotely. If you told the Eniac engineers you know how to put 20 billion vacuum tubes in the area the size of a coin and make each of them switch a few billion times per second they would have been quite skeptical I think and relegated you to the realm of science fiction, because the theory of semiconductors and the “exoticly” engineered electron bandgap materials patterned on the scale of a few angstrom you need for them would’ve been largely incomprehensible to them.

I guess this is for shell scripts that need to work with "unsafe" filenames?

I've been using Linux since 1999 and i never came across a filename with newlines. On the other hand, pretty much all "ls parsing" i've done was on the command-line to pipe it to other stuff in files i was 100.1% sure would be fine.
I agree with the principle of overreach being wrong. I'm just asking why you'd think it would be an overreach in this case, when the entire world basically has 3 real choices for OS: Windows, MacOS and Linux, and a lot of the business world is bound by legacy reasons to Windows.

I understand that there are downsides to over-regulating, but there are also downsides to under-regulating.
Yep. Local-first is further commoditizing software.

Users will refrain from paying a subscription if their app version works and they don't need updates. The good old buy-a-license with 1 year of updates will likely make a big comeback. Local-first software, at least in lix universe [0], does not have fixed recurring maintenance costs like running servers. The elimination of fixed recurring maintenance costs will lead to a proliferation of "hobby apps" that are undercut by price/make it free altogether.

Tell me and be honest: is that link to a politically-motivated, unproven allegation that will be believable only to those who want to believe, because the "evidence" will be a rabbit warren of innuendo, emotionalism, question begging, circular citations, and talking head pundits assuring us all that they have seen the evidence and "it's extremely credible"?

We have so much potential and we are wasting it, because of stupid and greedy people pushing misery and hate. Don't get me started on religion
Galileo was thought to be in the wrong not necessarily for scientific views, but for implied theological arguments based on those views.

For example, scientifically and theologically I thought geocentrism was the prevailing view at that time among scientists (God created the earth as a kind of "moral center" of the universe of God's Creation?); today acentrism (universe has no center) seems to be a prevailing scientific view. So by this logic, Galileo was wrong by modern scientific standards, and theologically some still argue for a kind of geocentrism or other such views (such as "galileowaswrong.com" or other such sites) against Galileo's theological views.

Hence Galileo was rightly criticized for lacking religious caution; his rebellious attitude against religion (again, not necessarily for supporting a speculative scientific view) indeed has caused centuries of harm, pitting science against religion, whereas true science can never contradict religious truth.

Cheap and easily manufactured using existing processes and factories (pellets molded into various films and containers).

Very few restaurants want to pay a premium for the deluxe eco groovy stuff, in my experience (as a customer only, but one who frequents such stores). They're almost like a lifestyle / branding thing to go along with organic / vegetarian / sustainable / local themed restaurants, but most don't do that and just want to keep costs down. Most just use regular cheap plastic and some still use Styrofoam.

I think a bioplastic that actually biodegrades in average municipal landfills at a minimal cost markup vs current plastics, that say 40% of restaurants adopt voluntarily (or by regulation), will be more impactful than the boutique reusables we currently see but only at like one restaurant per thousand.

I don't ever see places like Walmart or Costco switching to wooden bowls, for example. But bioplastics that look and feel the same and only cost a few percentage more? Maybe. Especially if encouraged by local regulations, similar to plastic bag bans.
But, for the future internet and compression compute 8-15 years later, the existing content will be streamed better. It's probably not too much to ask for if the cameras are available today for it.
In Italy is now illegal to send your kids to school alone before they turn 14, it's now legally child abandonment. Even if the school is few hundreds meters from your house.

I went to school alone since my second day of elementary school, in Japan kids cross Tokyo streets at the same age.

I have given math lessons for two decades and during that timespan kids have changed a lot due to how much parents changed. It went quickly from "if he doesn't listen you slap him hard" to "how dares the teacher give him a bad grade".

I have brought that topic with some people my age on a programming board and all fellow devs surprisingly told me they agreed, that it is child abandonment and streets are dangerous.

I feel like such over protection makes for young adults that are absolutely unprepared for the harshness of real life.
And he's ended up being a pawn, a pawn currently not being used, but I can't imagine it's relaxing to live in a country where any moment the security services can take him and say "Mr. Putin has decided to extradite you to the US in exchange for...".

Well not "extradition" in the traditional sense, since Snowden is now a Russian citizen and they don't have an extradition treaty, but hey in a lawless place, anything is possible, they can just ship him to a US-friendly country who will then deliver him the rest of the way.

I wonder if he's got a hiding strategy figured out, with wife and kid(s). Russia's a big place after all.
Yeah it sucks that monetisation and long term user interest is so often diametrically opposed.

I would like to make open core software for a living but local first would take away the last reasonable venue for monetisation in those cases.
Moving pointers mean most people (including me) will never read the actual content, so we might as well discuss why someone would choose to alienate their potential audience in this manner.
I think you are both right.

Snowden and Manning broke the oaths they took.

Assange is guilty of espionage.

> but Assange isn't American, not US permanent resident, and he has no duty to be loyal to the US.

That's besides the point, for example if a CIA agent is in China gathering intelligence on classified things, he is clearly guilty of espionage. You don't have to be a citizen or a permanent resident or have a duty to be loyal to a country to be spy.

> They did not because they actually did not want to be regulated by EU

That's not how banking regulation works though. If a bank wants to do business in the EU, and all the big banks do, then they have to have entities regulated by the relevant EU regulators. Prior to Brexit, it was ok for a bank to be regulated by the PRA or FCA to trade in the EU. Post Brexit, they need to have entities with banking licenses that are subject to EU regulators.

And that's what they did: they set up banking entities in Germany, France, Ireland etc. And they moved/hired staff into those countries to support that activity (if they weren't there already).

They didn't wholesale move out of London for 2 reasons: The UK is a big market and there is a large pool of skilled people in London that it wouldn't make sense to ignore.

> Real Brexiteers were bankers

Right. Bankers famously want their ill gotten gains to go to taxation, duty and red tape rather than into their own pockets. They lobby hard for extra regulation, multiple, diverse, enforcement regimes and multiple, diverse taxation regimes. They also want their customers' money to be going to taxation, duty and red tape so that they can't spend it on banking services. Because bankers are famously altruistic like that.

To paraphrase Pauli, the idea that the finance sector, esp in the UK, wanted Brexit is not even wrong.

Aside from the flaws in your analogy already pointed out to you, there is actually very little value in a secret recipe. A skilled cook will be able to reproduce something close enough just by seeing and tasting the result. The real value of a family restaurant is the pride in their legacy that gets them to actually stick to a recipe that gets that result instead of cutting corners in order to maximize profit.

Meanwhile I always taught that the underlying message of The Lion King to be insane and it seems like I'm the only one:

- don't do what you want but what society/religion tells you to do (Simba is happy with Timon and Pumba, but then they send other animals including the monkey shaman to tell him he has to fight his uncle)

- your destiny is decided at birth

- there are tier all tiers of living creatures (eating a pig => bad, eating insects => okay cause they don't talk) and genetics decide it

I'm not against cancelling it by the way, I just find the message of the film...insane.

I keep thinking that copyright lasts too long. It seems to me like any regulation around AI training is most likely to benefit a small handful of giant corporations, which will be the only ones that can afford to license content and train newer models. And the small handful of mega corporations that own the rights to most modern media will get their payday. In the end culture ends up being owned and controlled by a few big corporate interests.

I'm sympathetic to artists that want to exclude their works from giant training datasets that primarily end up benefiting the big players in AI without giving anything back. In a way, the first big digital data heist on mankind was executed by social media. Founders of various social media sites became extremely rich thanks to regular people's content being posted and shared (often illegally), without giving anything back to creators.
things take longer to repair than to crush. There have been countless waves of anyone with the ability and means to leave leaving, the drug trade is engrained in a way it was, undeniably so, not before the Soviet invasion. The mismanagement and purposeful acceptance of disastrous consequences for Afghanistan did not end with the funding of the mujahedeen. It continued up to, and including, the US pull out. Which is by no means a long time ago. Leaving behind unthinkable amounts of arms in a situation as explosive as left behind isn’t much better in terms of stability.

Instead of talking about what ifs, why don’t you have a look at what has been. Pre-Soviet Afghanistan is truely worlds apart from anything you’d now connect with living in Afghanistan. If you so desperately want the afghans to be at fault for their demise, how did that happen?

Close relatives of mine try to reform and expand Kandahar university clinic and med school, they all have built a comfortable living abroad, they owe that to no one. Of course, there are more than enough elements in Afghanistan that have contributed to their collective fate, profited and now hinder progress. I’m not here to defend them, i despise them. But that’s nothing different to any other country, they just have wayyy more destruction and suffering to foster and grow. Germany just needed a few decades of, in comparison laughable, economic mismanagement, for new politicians talking about gas chambers[0] to emerge. Let’s not act like that’s a uniquely afghan reaction to misery of any sort. Still horrible from all perspectives, no denying that.
