Cashless societies are dangerous purely for reasons of privacy and freedom. The ability to trade without government oversight matters. I am appalled to see government run services, hospitals, and stores near me start to refuse cash. That shouldn’t be legal.

Not to mention, cashless systems like Visa and Mastercard and PayPal are subject to private overlords that may scrutinize or ban your transactions.
Eliminating the dependency on LLVM is a major focus for the language team, and a big part of why Aro exists.

Note that it's the dependency which is being eliminated: it will remain possible to use LLVM as a back end, and to compile Zig and C together without using Aro to translate the C into Zig. If I'm understanding the roadmap correctly, the C headers needed to link a C library with Zig code will be translated into Zig, but doing so with the actual .c files will be optional.
It’s hard to assume good intentions when you find the site via a set of searches that begin with ‘crypto bullshit’.
I’d be happy if this takes off just for the fact that their default typeface (or at least the one shown on the website) is so much better than “Computer Modern”!
It appears to me it could become the low level language of choice for small embedded systems in contexts where Lua or MicroPython couldn't fit the bill performance-wise and one wants something higher level than C. Ditto for Nim and Crystal.
It’s explanation in one of the examples is also incorrect:

> In decimal representation, a number with a higher digit in the tenths place (the second digit after the decimal point)

The tenths place is the first digit after the decimal place.
I don't think that "number of deaths" is a proxy for "infrastructure stops working".

One of the worlds (what we thought) super powers has been trying for the last two years to destroy the infrastructure of a country with 33M inhabitants. They may not have fully mobilised, but they are definitely spending all their military equipment. Long range / tactical missiles. Air assets. Naval assets. Cyber warfare.

The result in Ukraine : unimaginable human suffering, but electricity and the internet are still working over there.

When the nukes start flying, that's another matter though. But in that case our problem will not be that our credit cards stop working.
Sounds like until someone sue restaurant for denying access to toilet, and this go through appellate court, they do what they want to do?
Netwars game was my favorite, then syscon? and filer/salvage.
In a window manager or KDE(x11) you can use nvidia-settings you can click advanced in monitor settings and selected viewport in and viewport out. If you set the viewport out to be the actual resolution and the viewport in to be some multiple of the actual resolution you can get fractional scaling and if you make the factor chosen a function of the relative DPI of your respective monitors you can make things perceptibly the same size across monitors. That's right fractional scaling AND mixed DPI!

You can achieve the same thing with xrandr --scale and its easier to automate happening at login.

You can also achieve pretty good fractional scaling in Cinnamon (x11) directly via its configuration. You enable fractional scaling on the right tab and suddenly global scale is replaced with a per monitor scale. Super user friendly.

Also your copy of Windows was just as free your computer was. You paid someone to configure windows acceptably for you and Microsoft and various OEMs who make windows hardware split your money giving you something usable in return.

You then decided that you wanted Linux on it and now you are the OEM which means you get to puzzle out integration and configuration issues including choosing a DE that supports the features you desire and configuring it to do what you want it to do.
Most, in large stores/chains. I'm not sure any of the large US stores I shop in have a price tag on the item any longer.
I dont think two wrongs make a right.

How are they? They have a market economy. Plus, the US has greater government spending (as % of GDP) than China.
Just to be a little fair here, healthcare providers are a major target of ransomware. How many ransomware attacks has crowd strike thwarted?
it would help a lot if you all stopped calling the mess implemented in practice without any ideology behind it by a theoretical model name.
I’d be afraid to make my own kimchi because it uses seafoods. Who knows if I made it correctly till I find out if it lands me to the hospital
serious question, does anyone really think Linux antivirals are good or necessary, particularly if they are active measure kernel things and not just passive scanners?

I have only seen people use them when windows it departments suddenly have to pretend to be cloud savvy, or when enterprisey infosec teams are looking for more vendors to bloat up their budgets. If it’s written in contracts, it’s not the customers demanding av on ephemeral cloud servers, it’s the home team bloating costs so they can cut them later for a raise and applause.

Aaaand whenever it goes that way, antivirals affect performance and stability with random problems, always hurting more than they help
It's not yet clear why CrowdStrike did not have any automated test systems catching this critical problem or batched update protocols in place only updating some systems and then stopping with updating others, or is it?
> It claims the first decimal digit of 9.9 is ‘0’.

You meant to write `1` I assume (as it claims "For 9.9, the first digit after the decimal point is also 1.").
Was that ever a thing on a large scale? From reading Debt by Graeber I got a different impression.
Gen Zers are so disillusioned with the economy, many say okay to commit fraud
And plenty of cathedrals collapsed without proper maintenance, or were destroyed by invaders, or had their stones taken by locals for use in building. All it took was a spark in the wrong place to destroy Notre Dame.
Hey, Gen Z. Gen X here. I personally think this whole "young adulthood is the happiest time of your life" is some sort of bizarre Boomer artifact, and certainly wasn't in play in the late '80s or '90s. I was told that repeatedly when I was a teenager, but it certainly wasn't the case for me or most of the people I knew when I was a young man, 35 years ago. We were all totally blindsided by how bad the high school experience was, and for many of us, the college experience was bad as well.

The good news is that as we became independent from our families and the institutions that we were committed to, and found paths in our work and family life to be productive, the majority of us became totally normal, functional people. Would I say "happy"? Sometimes but certainly not always - for almost all of us. Life has its way, with health and work and family issues that larger social or economic issues will never have any influence over, regardless of the era you grow up in.

But this article says that people are least happy at 50. So, I'm 50. Am I happy? Not, like, happy happy. But am I OK? Yeah, sure, I've figured things out, have my own family, it's all turned out OK.

Am I happier than any point in young adulthood in the late '80s and early '90s? Absolutely.

This whole "best years of your life" as a teen or young adult thing is... nonsense. It has nothing to do with the possibilities of the human experience. For some people? Sure, let them have their fun. But I don't want to sound like Dan Savage, but, for everyone, it can get better. Chart your own path, work it out for yourself.
I'd really like a Khan Academy-like site, maybe with explanations from different textbooks for each concept. Of course then you'd need a good set of diverse problems or a way to generate such problems.
Their system is quite capitalist since Deng, and they're not doing that well compared to Taiwan which is as close to an A/B test as you'll get.
The bitcoin network can't handle just income and (possibly even or) rent/mortgage payments in just the Netherlands.

If it had to also cover an average of one meal payment per person per day, it couldn't handle just Coventry.

Extra payment layers quickly start to look like banks with all the same kinds of expectations and failures popping up.
It’s just as easy to make that mistake, but at least then the compiler can issue a warning.
It's the major area of focus right now. You can track the issues with this tag/link if you'd like:

I think deadlines are probably also a big factor. Many OSS developers build their projects in their free time for themselves and others. So it could be a passion project where someone takes more pride in their work. I'm a big advocate for that actually.

Much commercial software feels like it is duct taped together to meet some managers deadline, so you feel like 'whatever' and are happy to be done with it.
God, this sucks so hard. Was your last venture NFTs by any chance?

They've been going every two weeks for the last five years. I doubt they wouldn't know what to do ...
Do you need to “know how LLMs work” to know whether basic math is right or wrong?

I know when a car has a flat tire, even if I don’t know a tappet from a carburettor.
Self-consistent narratives generated with half-truths and false premises describes one heck of a lot of philosophy and theology, something I note being current with Peter Adamnson's History of Philosophy podcasts, inclusive of Western and other traditions (Indian and Africana being completed, Chinese just having launched).

That's not to denigrate all philosophy (much of it is useful, and even the wrongheaded stuff often contains useful methods and constructs in testing arguments and beliefs), or even the wrongheaded bits (useful not only as bad examples but also to explain much of current belief and ideology, and to show origins of contemporary arguments and topics). But it does provide a strong caution about the dangers of leaping off into rational thought with parlous thin empirical foundation, or of false premises. Wrong belief is often far more harmful than no belief.

As to Mars's characteristics ... I'm sufficiently old to have seen an immense evolution of understanding about the Solar System and Earth itself. In the mid-1960s, the theory of plate tectonics was just being formally accepted, the far-side of the Moon mapped for the first time (the story of National Geographic's map project published in 1969 is a wonderful account of this: part 1 <https://web.archive.org/web/20090129220141/https://kelsocart...> part 2 <https://web.archive.org/web/20090130150935/https://kelsocart...>) The Luna, Mariner, Zond, and Surveyor missions provided first close glimpses of the Moon, Venus, and Mars from the late 1950s to early 1970s. The Viking Mars landers (1975) and Voyager outer-planetary missions (1979--1988) absolutely revolutionised understanding, and that based on what was often just a very narrow and short glimpse. But the books I'd read as a child, published from the 1950s to early 1970s are now woefully out of date.
Is it really private? You have to use it in person and every place of business has cameras nowadays.
My view is that the responsibility, and therefore blame, is shared between CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and IT admins.
Saying you have nothing but a backpack, when in fact you have a backpack and tens of thousands of dollars is lying. This whole thing is a ton of lying for their own personal benefit.
The things I build because I'm paid to, in ways I disagree with because MBAs have the final say, are terrible compared to my hobby and passion projects. I don't imagine I'm entirely alone. I hope there's always communities out there building because they want useful things and tools for doing useful things that they control.
The grandparent post refers to the fact that Zig ships with C, C++ library source that it lazily cross-builds (at least for linux, I don't recall how it solves this problem for macOS or windows). And possibly it uses lld too? Since Zig ships with these, it makes the whole cross-build experience much smoother and less dependent on whether your host OS distribution includes packages for your desired target OS/architecture.
No security vulnerability, even an OpenSSH bug, would result in the internet being taken down overnight. There are organizations and people who apply "security in layers" mindset so that one slip up doesn't result in a complete takeover of systems.
It's interesting reading the opinions in the comments on this thread. As a non-US person, I don't have a strong opinion on Cuba. I'd like to visit someday but don't know much about it other than the headlines. Reading the comments here it sounds like a pariah state on the level of North Korea. With 1m people leaving in a year, it clearly has its issues - but lots of the comments here are a good example of how your country's media and propaganda can significantly colour your opinions. I don't get the feeling many other countries continue to have such a negative opinion of Cuba.

Are there any countries other than the US that has a strong negative opinion on Cuba?

I'm also curious if anyone comes from a country that has a significant negative opinion on another country that others might find surprising?
Why is zig amazing? Could you elaborate a bit

This phenomenon is not limited to immigrants. It has been observed with many types of groups like say women in corporate leadership

The reason being that they had it difficult and therefore it shouldn’t be easy for the next person
CPU cache has never been sold as an independent upgrade. Wonder if a marketing study has ever been done on whether products with names that have been anthropomorphized sell better than those that have not such as random access memory vs storage. Maybe the appeal of being able to buy something illegal like human body parts or slave(s) [drive(s)] seems like it would have a cool factor for some consumers that has some how outweighed the disgust by others.
CrowdStrike are clearly to blame. They shipped bad code, which is inexcusable. Grant that review may not have caught the bug, because Windows kernel-mode development is magic; but testing would have caught it.

Admins must be able to trust gold bits, because they certainly cannot trust bits that are not gold.
Oregon requires businesses to accept cash. (With some exceptions like automated parking structures). It's shocking to me that Washington doesn't. I remember going to that creepy amazon pick your own and walk out store in Seattle and thinking wow, guess that's one way to keep the homeless out.

A few bars in Portland are still cash only!
Too bad democrats can’t bother to go out and vote. If they did, we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place.

What have been the pros and cons of Tcl for you, compared with other scripting languages if you have experience with them?
I don't think anyone is surprised by that. The price is the price.
I'm all-in on Zig, I think it's the bee's knees.

I needed a regex library for another project, and dashed off an acceptable one in a week flat https://github.com/mnemnion/mvzr

The fun part about this is that it can compile, and match, during both comptime and runtime. Will it replace PCRE? No. But nor is it intended to.
>people in charge of public places hesitate to reinstate trash cans.

I'd assume that these days the lack of desire is mostly a matter of funding. Possibly also something about reducing the number of crows/rats digging through trash.

Japan also has a rather strict trash sorting system, and not having public trash cans might serve as a forcing function to sort things properly (since if you get it wrong things will be attributed to you). Similarly it's possible that under some circumstances, under-serviced public trash cans could end up increasing the amount of litter on streets: people may be more likely to stuff things into an overflowing trash can (or dump stuff next to it) rather than carrying it with them.
That's funny, but more seriously if we look for a solution that:

- Is not subject to inflation or poor central banking decisions

- Does not rot or spoil

- Is a single interchange format that can fulfil the 'double coincidence of wants'

- Has no single point of failure.

Then that currency seem to exist in the forms of gold or crypto.
Coriolis flow meters in natural gas have been accurate and pretty inexpensive since the 1990s with accuracies better than 99% on the extreme low end and 99.5% on the high end.

Its easy to say that anything is 'too expensive' when the regulatory bar is set so low that it doesn't exist.
Resiliency of OSS varies a lot between projects and even between parts of certain projects.

For example Linux ACPI support was pretty flaky until Linus pushed for no breakages in that area.
Nine times out of ten it’s not even for security it’s for checking some kind of auditing compliance box. We’re perpetuating this nightmare quagmire of shit and no one understand how it works.
It gets you a sign-off from the security, compliance, and legal teams.
> it is still more robust than software created by multi-billion dollar corporations

Well, in the industry usually fewer eyes are looking at the code than in open source. Nobody strives to make it perfect overall, people are focused on what is important. Numbers, performance, stability, priorities depend on the project. There are small tasks approved by managers, developers aren't interested in doing more. Bigger company works the same, it has just more projects.
"…failure in the future, at best this would only influence those particular actors to avoid the pervious failures. "

Not if laws were like the Monopoly square that has 'Go directly to jail' stamped in bold all over it.

Just a few decent lockups would put the shivers down the backs of those so included.

Trouble is governments have failed to implement the necessary laws. Unfortunately, as we've seen Big Tech is too big, too powerful, and too money-rich to be challenged effectively by governments.
The Zig compiler has used Data Oriented Design for a long time, so any recent version has that, yes. The most substantial part of running the compiler right now is LLVM, hence the focus to provide an alternative. The other big focus right now is incremental compilation, which will make recompilations very fast.

The only seafood you really have to use (and if you are making vegan then even that is not needed but the taste will suffer) is those special anchovies which are frozen and salted so I'm not worried (making kimchi myself from time to time). The only really important thing is that the result has enough salt in it, but recipes make sure to drive this point home.
> Now that he survived it will be interesting to see if he uses his last term to go in there and not be just another "owned politician".

There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest he is not 100% owned from the start. Roy Cohn was his kingmaker, and he has deep connections to Jeffrey Epstein, as do with all these Silicon Valley SpookTech billionaires who have just had an entirely organic change of heart after a 1-in-a-million event to give them political air cover.

If the barcode wouldn't scan there it might also have not scanned correctly when that bag was being filled which could have led to it being filled incorrectly.
Actually the ultimate fallback is force.

So to really diversify you should stock up on weapons and ammunition and gather a group of likeminded people and train together in a fortified location.

Of course, that is likely to have its own issues.

That's nice to know. I didn't have nearly as much time to play with it as I originally planned, and the post is essentially my notes from a month ago, with a few odds and ends trimmed.

Do you have that bootloader published someplace? I'd like to get a more recent kernel going...
I fear that will also be used as an excuse to move against "unliked" apps.

Like (likely open source, hobby produced) no-nonsense (cost) free apps which provide some basic functionality and nothing more but also nothing unwanted (no tracking ads etc.).

Or in general apps without ads (google is known to already discriminated against such ads in various ways).
This would just end up being a population density heat map, right?
Which meant that everyone around got the tinny dings of your music, so it was quite anti-social and you were asked to turn it down (by family or companions, rarely strangers) which usually meant you couldn't hear it well over the ambient noise and ended up turning it off. Nobody used the big on ear headphones outside the house. The big isolation change for me was better sealed in-ear ones with a digital player, ipod, mp3 etc, where you could exclude the ambient more and have decent quality.
