You're absolutely right, cash is indeed inconvenient. But all digital payments make you pay a middleman "platform" which tries to extract as much of the transaction as possible while providing the minimum possible value. Oh and by the way this platform's also trying to become a monopoly so it can eventually provide less than the minimum value without losing you as a customer.

Crypto claims to be a solution to this, but in practice approximately all crypto transactions go through a middleman (exchange) which takes a cut. It's unreasonable to expect your barista to go through the effort of accepting crypto payments without involving an exchange.

Cash doesn't have this problem.

I'd love to be proven wrong about this. Is there a digital payment method that runs on phones that doesn't subsidize a middleman?

The problem is with uneducated mods who falsely close a question as a dupe.

Separating real dupes from possibles dupes is a hard task, but if they are not up to the task then SO needed to find people that were or change the system.
Apple Repaired My iPhone Screen, but Now My Social Media Account Is Banned
No, it is due to the game theoretic phenomenon called "The Attacker's Advantage" which is usually interpreted to simply mean "An attacker has to only succeed once, defenders must succeed every time." but in general refers to the strategic landscape of infosec.

Frankly, the thought of "Actively Coming At" infosec threats is personally appalling.

Feelings aside, you couldn't "actively" "come at" APT actors from the future with unknown techniques, and the way to "actively come at", so to speak, entire categories of "cyber threats" would be to fund detailed white box security testing on your IoT devices or VoIP handsets, for example.

Much cheaper to oppress your workforce. At least that will shorten the checklist. Worst case scenario, you can catch the next wave of offshoring if you push it too far and they unionize.
OK cool, but when a Pop!_OS based on Ubuntu 24.04 rather than 22.04? Even Mint has caught up by now.

I didn't like a few things about it so (like half the people on this thread xD) I built my own: https://github.com/matthewscholefield/autario

It's probably pretty niche complaints but I didn't like how overly precise due dates were (every due date has precision down to the second), how recurring tasks worked, especially with cross device synchronization, and a few other small things.
No: mRNA is the intermediate transcription stage of protein synthesis: mRNA molecules are synthesized from DNA in the cell nucleus, exit the nucleus and interact with ribosomes which synthesize proteins from them - there's also a suite of modifications and moderating systems (i.e. the short interfering RNA system which marks mRNA for destruction within the cell).

mRNA injections are based on the observation that with stabilisation, you'll get limited synthesis of an injected RNA strand by cellular machinery, and then the resultant protein will be presented on the cell surface - this is how the immune system detects active viral infections, since it's the same process: the virus dumps it's payload into the cell and gets its proteins copied up (+ an RNA or DNA polymerase to replicate the genome of the virus, which a vaccine does not have).

The magic of this process is that you don't have to handle bespoke proteins for new vaccines: you "just" change the delivered mRNA sequence, and use the same manufacturing line to make it, keeping the chemistry consistent and considerably simpler.

It's a refined version of attenuated or live virus vaccines, where you shoot the whole viral system in and it does the same thing - but then you've got to keep a bunch of custom proteins intact and you can't make it as easily.

Tweet size book summaries for non-fiction
I am thinking of creating an app which generate very concise summaries (multiple summaries per single book) for non-fictions. Then show these micr o summaries in the users reader board in the app again and again. Follow some algorithm and get users feedback and help to remember and let the ideas resonate in their brains.

The ML model will generate either text summaries or images.
I got this idea after I read Naval's almanack because the book felt really special due to not having lots of garbage content but with very concise content where I can craft my own action items. I feel every good non-fiction can be converted in to set of tweets so that it's easier to digest and remember and actionable.

Anyone think this is a good idea to build an app.

> I sometimes wonder if Rust (or more accurately Cargo) needs a third default profile “fastbuild” that doesn’t have debug info and is optimised for building fast.

I’d go even further and say that cargo should have an option for simply checking if the code compiles (and borrow checks), but doesn’t even link it. 95% of the time when I’m writing code, I run cargo to see if the code I just wrote, compiles. Then it tells me about an error, I try to fix it, then run cargo again. In each of these instances I don’t even need to run or even link the code.

I use an IDE with LSP/rust-analyzer support to get errors as I type but it doesn’t catch a lot of errors (and doesn’t seem run borrow checking) so I need to do a cargo build to get the full error report, I just want this loop to be faster.
This is absolutely correct, but is in part due to the complicated nature of getting a sailing vessel to a fixed location in the sea behind the current location of the boat and in such a manner that allows for the boat to be put directly into the wind at the right time to kill forward motion.

Well, in the Russian context "independent media" usually means "non-state-aligned", that's why I asked. As for ownership I already provided link to Wikipedia which says "IStories is a non-profit organisation. It is operated by a board of directors. The organisation modelled on ProPublica, a non-profit investigative journalism organisation." and I don't know anything further than that.
+ 1 for sure.

My personal interest is more aligned with crypto (back in 2008) where I would like to see a transation layer which is independent... feel free to use banks or not, invest or not, but the way you move moeny about is shared and not owned by anyone.
> kept a ton of developers busy learing useless Xamarin...

What kind of moustache-twirly stupidity is this? Yeah, Microsoft maintained a shitty cross-platform SDK so that developers would make worse software, because that's somehow helping any of their main product verticals. By the way, those are (broadly speaking) cloud, client software, and games.

Do you have any evidence to suggest that there was a Xamarin-based application that would have directly competed with Office? How about Fallout? Now, do you have any evidence that Microsoft tried to make Xamarin worse at doing the thing that application was trying to do?

> Next they killed of an open source competitor (Mono) of their product

Microsoft's implementation is also open source, and has been for almost a decade: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime

> that's not competing with them anymore

Sure. Mono is only useful for legacy purposes. Microsoft's own design was always the reference implementation of .NET, regardless of whether it was open-source. Mono existed for the sole purpose of being an open, cross-platform reimplementation. Now that the reference design is itself open-source and cross-platform, Mono is mostly redundant.

Autism is a hell of a drug, heh. I got diagnosed with autism this year, I'm almost 40. I found out because of toe walking. Over the years I got a lot of:

"John is so weird"
"John is s0000oooOOo00o on the spectrum"
"wow, John is so weird"
"wait till you meet John, he's so weird!"

But I always thought, everyone is so weird for thinking I'm weird... I'm super normal? Maybe they're just being cute or it's a poking fun joke?

I'm weird. Oh.

Pandremix vaccine against H1N1 influenza (swine flu).

> The link between Pandemrix and narcolepsy was identified after epidemiological studies were conducted in these countries. It was largely by chance that researchers noticed a higher incidence of narcolepsy among children and adolescents who had received the vaccine.

> The exact mechanism linking Pandemrix to narcolepsy is not fully understood, but it is suspected to involve an autoimmune response possibly triggered by the adjuvant used in the vaccine (AS03), or by some components in the vaccine itself.

> Cases of narcolepsy were reported primarily in Finland and Sweden in 2010 and 2011, about 1-2 years after the mass vaccination campaigns.

You think it can only happen with Pandemrix? It is known that mRNA vaccines cause an autoimmune response. I have also seen a massive influx of patients with newly diagnosed autoimmune disorders post-vaccination. You could call it a coincidence all you want. On top of that, Pandemrix is a vaccine is supplied in separate vials, one containing the adjuvant, and the other the inactivated virus, so it is not even as relatively new as the mRNA vaccines.

You could of course blame the individuals for not knowing where which information comes from, but that wouldn't help in avoiding such problems in the future.

I think it's a UX failure in some sense. It's important information to know which number comes from what source.

So it should be clearly visible if a trajectory is prediction without up to date positional data.

It should be clearly visible which values are from the aircraft and which are from the ground.

It should be clearly visible that a range estimate is derived only from fuel sensors.

I hope that the 5Y process or whatever they used came to this conclusion as well, and not human error.

Human error is constant, design issues can be fixed.

Sometimes I think UX design should be mandatory for software developers and engineers. Even only reading The Design of Everyday Things would probably prevent a lot of catastrophes.

I think it depends on what you mean by "readability". Proportional squeezes more text into the same space. So you get more of it per eye fixation and as a result can read faster and/or exert less effort for the same amount of text. Monospaced puts everything in a grid and makes it easier to distinguish one character from another. So you get fewer errors due to the characters bleeding into one another. So mono works better when legibility is an issue.

So both have better "readability" in different ways. Faster/easier or more accurate. Which implies to me at least that mono is better for everything but body text even when things are ideal. I don't think it is possible to have a single proportional font that works for both definitions of the word "readability".
I didn't want the mRNA jab (and didn't get it), but I WOULD definitely take this intranasal vaccine as its a classic (live attenuated) vaccine. That class of vaccine technology is not flawless, but it has decades of successful deployment and study.
GPT-3 was released in 2020. GPT-3.5 in late 2022. GPT-4 in early 2023, and that's basically it for me. Granted, they introduced the 4o model later that has some nice features while being quite well behind their top model (now called by them "legacy"). In the meantime, Claude 3.5 became dangerously close while having a much better context window than what AI offers.

So since March 2023 we haven't seen any increase in quality on their part. They need to "leak" things to keep market interest in them.
Possibly, that page has only been around since March according to the internet archive. The domain has been around since 2020 though, predating chatgpt.

Go's defrag techniques and why they work are discussed in the Hoard papers and have proven their value not only in Go but in most malloc implementations.

There is a relationship between cache locality, moving colocated objects to different cache lines to control fragmentation, value types, and interior pointers. Perhaps it is subtle but cache optimization is real important for performance and is not ignored by Go in the language spec or the runtime implementation.
Vaccine hesitancy and general distrust of 'big pharma' started in left wing, hippy / naturalist culture in the 1970s. And lawyers suing big corporate pharma companies for harm caused to children is definitely a liberal thing (RFK jr's career profile).

Russian sympathizers were almost always leftwing from the 1940s on. It's only very recently that the media has attempted to flip the script to say that Trump or right wingers are pro Russia. Only gullible people believe this.

And someone who spent their fortune and life focus on fighting climate change through the EV car revolution is somehow right wing?

If some part of that system was on fire or an engine was damaged and it was pumping smoke into the cabin. Basically every system can be switched off, sometimes it’s necessary to be able to switch them off completely (normally for pressurisation they would already be on the way to a breathable altitude), or to be able to power cycle something to try and fix an issue.

At the end of the day, there are so many other ways for the pilots to down an airliner and kill everyone, they are ultimately the only people you can’t practically have the system distrust. The only thing you can do is the rule to always have two people in the cockpit but it doesn’t always help.

LINQ is just the way .NET calls iterator expressions that are a staple in any language that claims to be good and modern.

There are two main interfaces in .NET that have different behavior:

IEnumerable<T> which a sequence monad, much like Seq types in FP languages or IntoIterator and Iter (IEnumerator<T>) in Rust. This is what you use with whenever you 'var odd = nums.Where(n => n % 2 is 0);`.

IQueryable<T> which is what EF Core uses for SQL query compilations looks the same as the first one, and has the same methods, but is based on something called "Expression Trees" that allow runtime introspection, modification and compilation of the AST of the expressions passed to Select, Where, etc. This existed in .NET for ages and really was ahead of the time when it was introduced. You can write a handler for such expression trees to use LINQ as sorts of DSL for an arbitrary back-end, which is how EF and now EF Core work. You can also compile expression trees back to IL which is what historically some of the libraries that offer fast reflection relied on. Of course this needs JIT capabilities and runtime reflection, which makes it AOT-incompatible - calling .Compile() on such query in a JIT-less application will be a no-op and it will be executed in an interpreter mode. It is also difficult for the linker to see the exact types that are reflected on which means you have to annotate the types you want to keep and AOT compile code for. Which is why this mechanism is largely replaced by source-generation instead, closer to how it happens in C++, Rust, etc. An example of this is Dapper AOT.
Okay, sure, you alluded to that earlier... But who cares? Even if what you say is true, that does not give it significance. You somehow completely missed the question. Let me try again:

Who cares? What difference does it make?
