But judges can only interpret the law (legally), they can't author the law. If they are taking dictatorial action that implies executive action, which is not within their remit in most countries (even including most non democracies). If a court issues an order it is up the the executive to enforce that order (for example an arrest warrant). So then to your argument, it would have to be more than the judicial branch in order to be dictatorial, it would also require at a minimum non opposition from the executive, or more likely cooperation.

And so, where is the evidence? Even 3 high impact examples would suffice as a starting point.

Plain Waydroid might work depending on the exact application you're using. Try that first because it's pretty seamless and has good performance (as Android processes run directly on the OS).

I used it for three years before giving up and getting a used phone (for other reasons). My banking application detected all other emulators, but not Waydroid.
Reference needed.
Thank you for the answers!
When testing previous versions of uv, I saw it do that too. But uv uses other tricks to speed things up: it downloads in parallel, it takes advantage of PEP-658 metadata (which doesn't need to download the package) and if that metadata is missing it will next try byte range requests to grab just the metadata of the wheel, and so on. pip was learning some of these tricks in recent releases too.

One problem we have is that support for any repository features beyond PEP-503 (the 'simple' html index) is limited or entirely missing in every repo implementation except warehouse - the software that powers pypi. So if you use artifactory, AWS codeartifact, sonatype nexus, etc, because you are running an internal repository, PEP-658 & PEP-691 support will be missing, and uv runs slower; you may not even have accept-ranges support. (and if you want dependabot, you need to have your repository implement parts of the 'warehouse json api' - https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/json.html - for it to understand your internal packages)

I've been playing with https://github.com/simple-repository/simple-repository-serve... as a proxy to try to fix our internal servers to suck less; it's very small codebase and easy to change. Its internal caching implementation isn't great so I wrapped nginx round it too, using cache agressively and use stale-while-revalidate to reduce round trips, it made our artifactory less painful to use, even with pip.
They aren't claiming their career decision is a monumental thing for anyone but themselves, but a complete change of career is a monumental moment for the person whose career it is.

If you're suggesting that having a dinner party with friends to mourn/celebrate the change, and writing a blog post about it, is overly "dramatic" then I completely disagree. If, on the other hand, you just mean that some of the minor specifics such as the invite including "Dressing in your personal version of mourning wear, the more over-the-top the better, is highly encouraged but not required." then I think you're just not in sync with her(his?) sense of humour.

Not only integration, proton also includes some patches of wine itself. Even though most of patches are merged back to upstream, but some are not.

Valve is also paying some developers of open source projects like DXVK or Mesa to keep working on it. I think it is also the key to its success. And it shows a good example to some big companies that how to use FOSS libraries correctly.
If we had the renewables to replace the coal politicians would love it to retire in a heartbeat. The reason it’s sticking it around longer is because politicians fear the backlash from blackouts and high prices more than the backlash from the bad PR of delaying closures of coal.
I recommend not only the dérive in particular, but flânerie in general.

A dérive can be done digitally* as well as in person; frex I have found the YouTube bubble to be somewhat like a large ship: on short timescales, it's going to go where it was heading, implacably, but on longer timescales, where it winds up has a lot to do with where, over time (in the case of YT, weeks to months), you have been steering it.

(slightly more tangentially: I wonder if TAD was able to finish TempleOS due to his aleatoric development schedule, which forced him to tackle the parts he didn't like instead of going down rabbit-holes solely in the parts he did like? He would call it divine inspiration; I might call it dérive-driven development)

If one believes that on beyond the written Torah, and the oral, the natural world is a third component, then, rather than continually selecting ("borer") a narrow subset, periodically opening oneself to the range of its experiences almost becomes a mitzvah. For, in their comments upon Devarim, did not R JefAi say "feed your head" (SP 67), and also R CroStNaYo then add, to "teach your children well" (DV 70)?

(for an intragenerational equivalent, compare a Pioneer House motto: "having learned, teach your buddy")

When you build military equipment, you have to build them to last for decades. 40-50 years, easily. You'll develop a base model, which will then get forked to the various specs that your customers want/need. Differences could be what launch system they're made for(TEL, jets, ships, etc.), what command and control systems they're going to interface against, and numerous other things. Integration is a huge part of these deliveries.

So instead of designing and manufacturing, say 10000 cruise missiles of exact same type, you're in reality manufacturing 1000 for the US military, 500 for the UK military, 500 for the French military, etc. - with every batch going through different specs, testing phases, etc. And that's after you've won the contract, which in itself can take years to land.

Contracts can of course be cancelled if there are too many issues.

If we're going to use the SpaceX analogy - imagine if SpaceX had to first design a base model, but then fork that to say 10 difference versions because 10 different countries / agencies want to purchase their own rocket, and then spend 10 years on each to ensure that they work perfectly to spec for the 10 different spec sheets you've received.

And if it turns out that the cheap material you used to bring down production costs won't cut it, because it is expected to last 15 years instead of 40, then that's a deal-breaker.

I use obsidian daily and while I love it, I do feel it’s got lots of flaws. Mostly I feel the development team is pretty opinionated with some of its choices, especially regarding its tab management. I find myself annoyed by a lot of the basic functionality and am constantly having to add custom css or plugins. I’m grateful that the plugin community is pretty large, but it sucks needing so many plugins just to make the program useable in the way I want to use it, rather than obsidian having more options and toggles built in.
I suspect the quote was pasted by mistake the first time.
To put a finer point on this idea, even if one could be against even this idea of an “installation flow”, work done to improve uv or rye would also likely flow into alternative strategies.

The more we invest into all of this and get it right in at least one way, the easier it will be for alternatives (like pyoxidizer!) to also “just work”. At least that’s my belief.

There are tactical reasons to focus on one strategy, and even if it’s not your favorite… everything being compatible with _something_ is good!

I still do as does my household. I don't care what others think - they are not the bosses of me and I'm responsible and paying for my own health, so, they (you!) have no say.

It's pretty simple: in order to control your devices in the same manner as most other smart devices (Matter), you need to spend ~40 pounds on a bespoke Hue bridge, use their app, are forced to sign up for an account, and need to ensure the bridge is always powered on.

That's unlike every other smart device - and it's obvious why: selling a basic Zigbee->Matter bridge with a Hue logo on it at a 40x markup is a great revenue source, they get to insert themselves into your home and siphon up analytics, and they don't even have to spend any money adding Matter support to their bulbs. All to provide generic, basic and out-of-the-box functionality that you already have if you use Homekit or Google Home.

Fantastic! And fantasticly wasteful.
No, and it feels unlikely that they will either.
There is obviously also a network effect at play here that makes people unwilling to explore new options. But just like MySpace, Facebook or tumblr showed you can always ruin a good thing and eventually people will move onto greener pastures.

Your problem is you are seeing this behavior as inherently about point scoring. Stop it. And please don't make this about ESL struggles, it's disingenuous to make this about that.

You've got the money, you wanted to buy something nice for yourself, and you like luxury watches. Nothing wrong with that - plenty of people buy a $50,000 car when a $40,000 car has the same number of wheels.

But for my $200 Garmin to "add up in costs" to your $10,000 watch would require some extremely creative accounting.

Although I suppose time does factor into every discussion of watches, in a way :)

You really are not hearing me. Our legitimate traffic looks nothing like fraud traffic. Legitimate users don't sign up for a free trial, ignore our application, zoom straight to the payment form and purchase. 0% of our legitimate customers do this. Everybody wants to try before they buy! You can literally lock the payment form making it impossible for people to purchase until they have used the product for multiple hours over multiple days.

Nobody in a 3rd world country is going to spend 5 hours clicking around in a product over multiple days just to test if a credit card works. If card testers don't find the payment form within 2 minutes they're going to move on to a weaker target.

People who struggle with fraud in SaaS usually make no attempt to distinguish real user behavior from fraud-y behavior.

- Which might be a different matter: of specifically SE declining. (A very different, and long-running, tragedy, but one that began long before the current AI boom and prompted by very different, non-technical issues.)

- That said, surely traffic will decline for Q&A sites. "How do I connect tab A into slot B" is something that people are likely to query LLMs for; the response will surely sound authoritative, and could be even correct. That's definitely a task where LLMs could help: common questions that have been asked many times (and as such, are likely to be well-answered in the human-made training data). A 20001st question of "how do I right-align a paragraph in HTML" has not been posted? Good. Rote tasks are well-suited to automation. (Which, again, brings us back to the issue "how to distinguish the response quality?")
Replacing solar panels is cheaper and easier than replacing roof tiles, so you can even use solar panels as hail protection for your roof :^) (I'm half-serious, ofc)
Yes, exactly! We found out the hard way just how unreliable Redis-based locks are, and switched to Postgres locks. It works reliably since our code is already in a Postgres transaction.

Created a “lock” table with a single string key column, so you can “select key for update” on an arbitrary string key (similar UX to redis lock). I looked at advisory locks, but they don’t work when the lock key needs to be dynamically generated.

Show HN: A Ghidra extension for exporting parts of a program as object files
This Ghidra extension unrelocates machine code through analysis and then synthesizes a working object file from a listing selection. It effectively turns computer programs into Lego bricks, to be torn down into pieces and reused into something new.

It supports the COFF and ELF object file formats, for the x86 and MIPS architectures. It has been successfully used on Linux, Windows and PlayStation executables. One user report is on a commercial video game from 2009 with a ~7 MiB Windows executable written in C++: it was delinked without its C runtime library and then relinked into a new executable at a different base address, with no visible change in functionality, as a prelude to a decompilation project.

Use-cases I've demonstrated on my blog include modding, making software ports, converting executable file formats, creating libraries... I've originally built this as part of a video game decompilation project ; I've been working on this over the past 2.5 years and recently it has started gaining some users besides me.
As a basic offering have good documentation and a community support forum and the option to report bugs.

Make the type of support you are providing paid, this could be in tiers.

This is honestly something I'm grateful for a lot of the time. I'm presently running a tech start-up in a highly technical domain (housebuilding, in a word) which also happens to be pretty hostile to businesses. People look at a planning application like "Why are there hundreds of documents here?" and it's because yeah, it is hard - there are huge numbers of variables to take into account, and the real "art" of urban design is solving for all of them at once. Then you send it to planning and basically no-one is happy, why haven't you done this and what are you going to do about that. You have to be pretty creative to survive.

Before that, I worked in a digital print organisation with a factory site. This factory did huge volumes on a daily basis. It was full of machines. They had built up a tech base over years, decades, and it was hyper-optimised - woe betide any dev who walked into the factory thinking they could see an inefficiency that could be refactored out. It happened multiple times - quite a few devs, myself included, learned this lesson the hard way - on rare occasion thousands of lines of code had to be thrown out because the devs hadn't run it past the factory first.

It's an experience I'd recommend to any dev - build software for people who are not just "users" of technology but builders themselves. It's not as "sexy" as building consumer-facing tech, but it is so much more rewarding.

Seen recently few sites which blocked access unless you agreed for vicious tracking - so much for convincing readers, I guess.

I'm afraid that it's a new trend to paywall everything and give user a quite harmful choice of being tracked if it won't pay.

Few years ago there was an agreement in Poland between major media outlets to put an unified paywall system but it was abandoned quite fast. That was still before these vicious tracking techniques and cookie banners. People simply didn't want to pay for the access. Their tagline was "Do you value good journalism?" and it was memed out because the quality of these paid materials was considered as low. Many people complained that it's not that much different from stuff available for free. Others raised an argument that access to the information on the Internet should be free and they didn't want to spend money on this. Discussion happen, taking on paid content in general but whole thing fizzled out just like that paywall system.
I‘m tired of fixing my colleagues‘ AI generated code. They churn out a lot of code in a short amount of time, but then we loose the saved time again because during pull request review they often cannot explain what this code is actually doing. Maybe I should use an AI for code review, too?
Exactly. And in this particular case pyoxidizer and the work that went into it originally in many ways gave birth to parts of it. The python standalone builds were what made me publish Rye because there was something out there that had traction and a dedicated person to make it work.

Prior to it, i had my own version of Rye for myself but I only had Python builds that I made for myself and computers I had. Critical mass is important and all these projects can feed into each other.

Before Rye, uv, and pyoxidizer there was little community demand for the standalone python builds or the concept behind it. That has dramatically changed in the last 24 months and I have seen even commercial companies switch over to these builds. This is important progress and it _will_ greatly help making self contained and redistributable Python programs a reality.
I'm pretty confident that without advertising, the majority of YouTube channels people love most would not exist.

I think there are two different processes at work that create euphemisms, which should be more clearly distinguished.

One is indeed a natural feature of language development, in which a word slowly acquires more metaphorical connotations. The other process is strictly political, in which somebody in a position of power demands a thing to be renamed.

The processes can be distinguished both by their speed and their effect on the mind of the speaker. The natural process is slow, to be measured in decades and centuries, and creates no intellectual conflict. The old and new word exist simultaneously for a period, until the old word is slowly forgotten and loses its meaning.

The political process is rapid, to be measured in years, and creates anxiety within the speaker. He wants to use a certain word; he knows exactly what the word means, and he knows his listeners know as well. He chooses the new word merely because he fears negative consequences if he doesn't.

I think all the examples from the article can be neatly categorized along these lines.
Linus was specifically ranting about compilers inserting CMOV. These days it is actually a pain to get GCC or clang to generate a CMOV when you specifically want it.

Also, CMOV did indeed get significantly better.
Automatic closing tickets is a solution looking for a problem. Humans should close tickets when they're resolved or no resolution is anticipated or planned. Putting an arbitrary number of days on it with a one way trip to the [closed] tag is like following a broken clock because it's right twice a day.

> The other problem with simd is that in modern cpu-centric languages it often requires a rewrite for every vector width.

It does not: https://github.com/bepu/bepuphysics2/blob/master/BepuUtiliti... (in this case, even if you use width-specific Vector128/256/512 - compiler will unroll operations on them into respective 256x2/128x4/128x2 if the desired width is not supported. Unfortunately .NET does not deal as well with fallbacks for horizontal reductions/shuffles/etc. on such vectors but it’s easily fixable with a few helpers)

Naturally, there are other languages that offer similar experience like Zig or Swift.

Moreover, sometimes just targeting one specific width is already good enough (like 128b).

Also you can’t (easily) go to GPU for most tasks SIMD is used in CPUs today. Good luck parsing HTTP headers with that.

clang may be getting better, but gcc isn't.

Being 'careful how you write your code' is putting it mildly. IME you have to hold the compiler's hand at every step. Using 'bool' instead of 'int' can make gcc give up on autovectorisation, for example.

You need to use intrinsics, or a wrapper lib around them, if you want to be sure that SIMD is being used.
