That is not true. If no one is opposing immigration of skilled workers then why getting a visa is a lottery?
You collect tax to pay for the necessities and then don’t charge a per-use fee.

> Does it work on XP?

> Yes! Or rather, yes, it works until you install Service Pack 2, which upgrades the Cinepak® Codec to a special non-working version. The solution is to download Cinepak version 1.10.0.11 from the wonderful folks at Providenza & Boekelheide, who wrote the codec in the first place. Copy the DLL from the zip file into the Starship Titanic program file folder, and you're done!

It's OLD alright. I never thought I'd see XP listed as the new bleeding edge option.
Rust is not widely adopted yet. When the mass of sloppy programmers are required to write code (applications, drivers, etc.) in Rust, you will take the bet back.
I used to work for Microsoft in a team adjacent to the Defender team that worked on signature updates and I know for sure that these were tested before being rolled out - I saw the Azure Devops pipelines they used to do this. If other companies aren't doing this then that's their incompetence but be assured that it's not industry-wide.
Only if you are not doing auth right? If you need to auth then you need to send a request with headers.

Structured Editing for All:Deriving Usable Structured Editors from Grammars-2023
It seems like I can't include standard header files, so it can't compile a common hello world. I guess that'd be useful to mention on the README, or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

main.c:1:10: fatal error: 'stdio.h' not found
#include <stdio.h>

It'd be nice if header inclusion, and -l options work. This would allow benchmarking Aro against some other compilers on a wide range of C files. Usually sqlite3.c is my first go-to for stress-testing C compilers.
Yeah, but it seems like some nations are only willing to invest a low amount of effort in it working out. I.e. if you're highly educated skilled worker who will integrate on their own, great. If you're a manual laborer who will do the work no one wants, for less money, pay tax and integrate their kids, great. But if the host society needs to invest in their education, social programs and integration, then screw it, let them ghettoise and hope the resulting jump in nationalism and animosity towards them will balance things out.
>2) There is a difference between auto-updates (common in Windows world) and updates triggered manually only when it is necessary (and after testing in non-prod environment).

Again, those auto updates that caused this issue were developed and pushed from Crowdstrike not from Windows. That tool does the same auto updates on Linux too. On Windows side you can have sys-admins delay Windows updates until they get tested in non-production instances, but again, this update was not pushed by Windows for sysadmins to be able to do anything about it.

What makes you think that it was installed via windows update? The driver was part of crowdstrike's EDR software, Falcon. It's installed by sysadmins on corporate devices. That's how it got on 8.5M devices. It's not something that gets auto-installed when you run windows update.
Trump supported a plan to reduce legal immigration by half:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/02/us/politics/trump-immigra...
Shutting off US immigration is national suicide. Immigration is our superpower. It’s like a company deciding they don’t want any more customers. Utterly beyond idiotic.

As birth rates drop globally the countries that are magnets for the highest quality immigrants will explode and basically rule the world.

The kind of immigrants we get are the envy of the world too. I am a little more sympathetic to European concerns because the immigrants they are getting are coming for different reasons. Many of them are refugees not people coming because they genuinely want to be there, and that is a different deal entirely.

> I'm not sure I would say that "valid" and "useful" are the same.

In standardese, they are: an object in a "valid but unspecified state" requires "that the object’s invariants are met and operations on the object behave as specified for its type"[1]. In other words, any operation without preconditions may be performed.

> Things that must be safe after moving: destructing, assigning. No other operation need make sense.

That's not accurate for standard library types: moved-from objects must be in a "valid but unspecified state"[2].

2: C++23 working draft, 16.4.6.15 Moved-from state of library types [lib.types.movedfrom]

Half the mid-90s Internet was probably running off NE2000s. Definitely the majority of Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD servers connected to the Net.

Which alternatives exactly? Mainstream languages like Go and Swift use a GC and don't allow the same level of control over memory layout.

There are probably some reasons Rust is only non-C language to get into Linux kernel.

If you live without modern technology in a sufficiently remote place, you don't know what you're "missing". Maybe they'd be receptive to contact and technological/cultural exchanges if "modern society" respected their land and beliefs.
>1. Microsoft themselves could potentially enforce a gradual rollout on updates (did the update go through windows updates?)

No. The crash was caused by a "configuration update", not through code pushed through windows update.

Your original statement is ridiculous to any sane person.
Walter's comment could be read more charitably and could show his interest in Zig and similar choices that are made.

The last sentence, or, indeed, the whole comment, can be read like "We did this for D, and it works well. [go for it]".

I don't think D is casting any shadow on Zig. Both languages play in the same field, D is older but I feel like we hear about Zig way more these days.

His comment is likely to interest people interested in Zig or PLs in general.

The comment as is might lack some finesse but I don't think it deserves this level of aggressiveness.

The Zero is _easily_ the best bang for the buck of all the SBCs I’ve used over the past few years. I use it daily from my iPad (actually just installed BasiliskII on it to open and possibly convert some old Mac files).
Useful for a truly never-connected 'island' (meaning it never needs to speak to the outside world).

However, even some of the use cases they cite rarely exist on a never-connected island, e.g. industrial automation and transportation.

So, to be broadly applicable, it needs to be secure by design for connected use cases as well, even if those connections are considered to be ephemeral (e.g. remote management, periodic telemetry, metadata sharing, etc.).

Why did the US drop 2 nuclear bombs on Japan? Why the US is keeping Israel as their toy? Why the US entered the Vietnam war (hint: no, not to avoid the spread of communism). US is the bad boy of this planet, just because they can.

The number of actual refugees in Europe is tiny (ukrainians excluded). What is large is the number of people who pretend to be refugees, like it is at the southern border of the US.

And even actual refugees are really economic migrants after they crossed half a dozen countries where they wouldn't be in danger.
Ugh. I hate "bugs" like that. I worked in PC repair while at college. I remember one customer with a mouse where the right-button wouldn't work. I replaced the mouse, RAM, HDD + OS, mobo + CPU before I tried another PSU. Literally everything worked perfectly except that mouse button.
CrowdStrike is the critical vulnerability.
Mob rule sucks. However Kropotkin would correctly point out that, in representative democracy, as soon officials are elected their opposite candidates are prey. Direct democracy prevents this, IE two sides disagree with each other & coexist without fear.
If a chain of hashes is associated with a single work ... you might get somewhere.

I've thought through the problem of fingerprinting records (as in, any recorded data: text, images, audio, video, software, etc.) in a way that coherently identifies it despite changes over time. Git and related revision control systems probably offer one useful model. Another is to generate signatures via ngrams of the text in such a way that's resilient (i.e., non-brittle) despite varioius changes: different fonts, charactersets, slight variances in spelling (e.g., British vs. American English, transliterations between languages), omissions or additions, or other changes. Different versions of the same underlying work, e.g., PDF, HTML, or ASCII text, translations, different editions, etc., all have much in common, though in ways that a naive file hash wouldn't immediately recognise or reveal.

We often refer to works through tuples such as author-title-pubdate, or editor-language-title. This is a minute fraction of the actual content of most works, but is remarkably effective in creating namespaces. Controlled vocabularies and specific indexing systems (Dewey Decimal, OCLC, Library of Congress Catalog Number, ISBN, DOI, etc.) all refine this further, but require specific authority and expertise. I'd like to see an approach which both leverages and extends such classifications.
Not OP but the problem is not awareness of modern solutions that prevents sanctioned societies from modernizing, the isolation from trade prevents local industry from growing which keeps society living at subsistence levels and when everyone is poor you don’t have a class of people with spare time or the resources necessary to build up local industry that brings about capital that brings about infrastructure modernization etc.
Someone got access to the full tape backups for two warez BBSes (The WaREZ HouZE and Piper's Pit) and uploaded the tape images to archive.org: https://archive.org/details/ibm-wgam-wbiz-collection. The collection spans the late 1980s to the late 1990s.
Well, some studies validate their FFQs. Also, FFQs don't have to be perfect. They just have to create analytical clusters or continuity. As FFQs become less accurate, confidence intervals get wider but it just depends if the study is powered to handle it.

I find that most of the dismissal around FFQs is pretty vague and seems to come from a group of people who find the consensus in nutrition research inconvenient for them.
Not every culture can integrate, not every culture is a step "forward". Also, your examples are quite weak
1. Paganism was not doing too well by the time Christianity became official.
2. Belgium is a joke country (sorry!) that still has a divided population based on the language they speak. Hardly a success case.
3. Americans speaking Spanish also resulted in losing native languages and cultures. It might be okay to accept it, but the implications in your case are obvious, and it definitely would deserve a fair bit of debate whether we're okay with that.
4. Right, because the Reconquista was famously a period of peace and prosperity...

If these are the arguments FOR massive immigration then don't be surprised the vast majority of the public is against it.
But they did it to protect the planet. We need to enforce "democracy" and spread capitalism.

You people seem to underestimate the average sloppy programmer. Rust is yet composed of people that take programming seriously. One day it will be as popular as C++ or Java, and will you start seeing wonders in code bases around the world.

I've seen it before with Java. That thing was pure OO, contained in a VM with GC, perfect world. Poor guy that has to maintain Java legacy code these days. Right, right, this time is different.

Aside from wealth transfer capitalism is good for raising money for new ventures. Some of that kicked off around then eg.

>The Muscovy Company was the first major chartered joint stock English trading company. It was established in 1555

and profitable ventures eg. by Sir Francis Drake

>Drake returned to England in 1580 and became a hero; his circumnavigation raised an enormous amount of money for England's coffers, and investors received a return of some 5,000 per cent.

which may be increased enthusiasm for ventures.

That maybe incentivized people to get rich starting steam engine companies, somewhat like how SV works today, but not like that in ancient Rome?

Guessing a bit here. I'm not a historian. Quotes from Wikipedia.

I did to a visit to Lincolnshire a while back to research some family history of relatives who were there in the 1800s and while the place is a backwater now, it was very SV like back in 1850 with people getting rich quick and building huge houses based on the then tech boom with was railway engines.

that's not my interpretation, the opposition party votes as a bloc against everything until they aren't the opposition party any more. democrats do that too. neither party can pass a filibuster in the senate so it doesn't matter, it isn't about any party position.

republicans support setting H1B visas at the same standard it was created for in 1991.

I support that. I support linking the standards of minimum compensation to inflation or some automatically moving metric. we already have several higher criteria work visas, H1B's is just the most popular.

republicans support our education visas turning into residency or work visas more seamlessly.

I support that.

the party doesn't support the empathy arguments for people that are here without a visa. I think something more holistic should be considered than mass deportation.

Its important to add nuance. We have many categories of immigration and many populations. As well as a porous mismanaged border.

The Bitcoin network is slow to verify and has the environmental impact of a medium-sized industrialized economy just to run the thing. It's also exceptionally volatile compared to fiat currencies (though at this point pretty stable compared to other cryptocurrencies), and the fact that it's deflationary makes it difficult to justify as a solution in a still-growing worldwide economy.

I like this write up. Nicely done! One think I have enjoyed doing is using named parameters as the options, but it does require a second struct only for the option parts:

NewObject(
required1,
required2,
&ObjectOptions{
Option1: “foo”,
// Option2 skipped
Option3: “bar”,
})

I can see the merits of both (two structs is tedious, for sure), but I wanted to share in case others had thoughts or alternate ideas!
It's a shitty C++ hack job within CloudStrike with a null pointer. Because the software has root access, Windows shuts it down as a security precaution. A simple unit test would have caught this, or any number of tools that look for null pointers in C++, not even full QA. It's unbelievable incompetence.
Economists say every immigrant is a net economic positive to the nation. They eat,buy food clothing, cars. Every immigrant child is a net negative to the state,at least until they turn 18. But it isn't even. Net neg per kid of maybe 800 a year, positive of each adult of 1200-1600 are the numbers I've heard on freakonomics podcast. Their guests proposed solution was to have the feds pay the states per an immigrant child to offset who bears the costs. I don't think it's even a debatable position that each immigrant is a net economic positive, in the long term. Some political groups worrying about losing their culture is a completely different kettle of fish.

You can't count Utah out until they actually do something to walk it back, representatives just talking about doing something is usually them just posturing for their base. And if we're excluding ballot measures then you also have to drop Maine [0].

If you drop Maine and Alaska as not representing entrenched party politics then you're left with 4/50 states that implemented a measure allowing RCV at the local (city) level and 1/50 states (Hawaii) that implemented a measure allowing it at the federal level (for special federal elections only). Of the four states that officially allowed RCV at the local level by an act of the legislature, Utah has more municipalities taking advantage of that than the rest of the states combined.

I'm not arguing that Republicans are champions of RCV, just that it's pretty obvious that Democrats aren't much better if at all. By your rules, 1/50 states voluntarily allowed RCV for any state or federal election (where party politics usually matter, unlike most local elections), and even that one state's law is only for rare special cases.
