Yep, that's a reasonable argument that people aren't going to have issues with. It would be news to almost anyone that the fifth amendment protects against not having to film yourself in the process of performing your civic duties so that you can commit crimes.

It's not far from claiming that grocery and retail thief's have a right to ask stores to turn off their security cameras so that they can steal from them.
Unless you really love the console Truenas will do similar just fine
Let me make a small example that may illustrate the issue.

You can download the NetBSD source tree and compile it with any reasonable c compiler, whether you're running some sort of BSD, macOS or Linux. Some OSes have much older gcc (Red Hat, for instance), some have modern gcc, some have llvm. The source tree first compiles a compiler, which then compiles NetBSD. It's an automatic, easy to understand, easy to audit, two step process that's really nice and clean.

With rust, if you want to compile current rust, you need a pretty modern, up to date rust. You can usually use the last few versions, but you certainly can't use a version of rust that's even a year old. This, to some of us, is ridiculous - the language shouldn't change so much so quickly that something that was brand new a year ago literally can't be used today to compile something current.

If you really want to bootstrap rust from c, you'd have to start with rust from many years ago, compile it, then use it to compile newer rust, then use that to compile even newer rust, perhaps a half a dozen times until you get to today's rust. Again, this is really silly.

There are many of us who'd like to see rust be more directly usable and less dependent on a chain of compilers six levels deep.
Love the idea and isometric style! I played with it, I think the dragging needs some work...

Edit:

* Enter should leave the editing modal with the updated title reflected on the "node"
* I want to drag my "nodes" around but it's not clear how to do that.
* Can't edit or delete the nodes ( maybe with an authenticated account? )
* Wishlist: right click context menu to do the above
* Wishlist: should be able to drag the scene without needing to select the hand icon
>Why take away the fun part

Answering that is easy: I won't be able to stay employed as a programmer if the other programmers use AI to become more productive, and I do not.

I think it has senders encrypt messages with each room member's public key, rather than a single shared key. (At least, that's what the behavior I've seen suggests to me.)

Here's the spec, in case you want to comb through it:

> Moreover, I believe the earlier versions of rustc only output LLVM, so you need to bootstrap a C++ compiler to compile LLVM anyway. If you have a C++ compiler, you might as well compile mrustc. Currently, mrustc only supports rustc 1.54, so you'd still have to compile through some 35 versions of it.

Not sure I follow - isn't rustc still only a compiler frontend to LLVM, like clang is for C/C++? So if you have any version of rustc, haven't you at that point kind of "arrived" and started bootstrapping it on itself, meaning mission complete?

Ultimately from what I glean the answer really is just that this would be made nicer with Dozer, but I still wish this was explicitly stated by the author in the post. It's not like the drudgery of the ocaml route escapes me.
Doesn’t feel like that looking at Airbus and Boeing .

For people like me who might be wondering:

MRR = monthly recurring revenue

This is a metric relevant to subscription businesses.
What argument?
I appreciated one quote in particular from the recent Times profile of Alex Karp:

> Silicon Valley is telling the average American ‘I will not support your defense needs’ while selling products that are adversarial to America. That is a loser position.

I think that’s fair. And selling to the very deep-pocketed defense sector is obviously a winner position.
The most likely outcome at this point is more ways to do it not less. Because we've arrived at the point where nobody is willing to give up on their favourite method.

I think it may be in the class of things Python people COULD fix but WONT fix.

For me, the biggest bugbear is how often you need to work through pip not liking install frameworks like brew. It drives very strongly to telling you to "virtualise" but that means having link farms and context specific execution envirements baked into your praxis.

If (like me) you're used to just vi /tmp/file.py and hacking, the burdens of pip not wanting to break things (tm) become high. Could e.g. python not have SYSPATH:OTHERPATH:VERSION-SPECIFIC-PATH:~/.PYENV: included in it, so we can install pip stuff in homedirs and not have to worry about smashing the system install? (avalanche of "bad idea because.." coming)

Perl kind of had this. You can live with old perl libs through at most one ENV setting to point to your install path.
You are yeeting at something a tiny, tiny fraction of the size of what you're yeeting. And a tiny, tiny fraction of the accuracy of any measuring tool.

Not to mention that it's going to be surrounded by an energetic particle cloud.
From my experience this is true for big German corporations, but is it really different for big corporations from other countries?

While I agree, that DACH mentality in big German corporations "has been devastating on serious tech development" at these companies, I don't see how this would affect the whole of Europe. It's an opportunity for other countries/companies to do better.

Does iMessage not count and E2EE (with the caveat of disabling iCloud) to you? It’s available on desktop.
"Balanced budget" presumably includes paying the interest on existing debt in the current year rather than recapitalizing it.
Is that true? Polling the API might be too much, but I would expect Stripe to be able to handle a few GETs for every payment they take, even big companies will probably only be taking ~1-10k payments/second, doubling or tripling that isn't much. And ingesting webhooks for payment is necessary to be able to perform access control or whatever is necessary for the business to function. Conversely, $0.03 of margin to patch over bad engineering is quite a lot of margin for some types of business.

Lower tech businesses perhaps, but most of them probably aren't doing data analysis anyway.
Driving is a privilege, voting is a right. You need to do some reading and reflection before commenting.
Totally agree, not to mention the need for democracies to have all the best tools at their disposal to deter (and if necessary defeat) totalitarian nations. I think the war in Ukraine has shown us that the days of dictatorships and invasions are not yet over and that weaponry is still needed to defend democracy.
Hot Fuzz is a 2007 movie roughly going the same plot.

Bought a 3090 because they are good value for this, but this logic is frankly a little ridiculous:

So what if 5 out of the thousands happen to coincide?
I have never played modern Ultima. I played a very early version on the Mac SE when I was about 6 and I didn’t understand anything that was going on. I just rode around aimlessly. The one thing I remember is that the menu had a “negate time” option and when I selected it a message came up that said “you don’t have two coins to rub together”.

So I just rode around not knowing what was going on but hoping to find two coins so I could rub them together and negate time.
What does that have to do with comparing deaths of civilians within the homeland?
Same thing with proton mail. I have never understood the "Trust me bro we encrypt it" business model. If it's not your key on your client machine it's not encrypted.
Because that portion is digital. Digital is fairly immune to noise, but it can produce a lot of noise. The power distribution network can carry that noise to other components that it passes over, but because that section is all digital, it's ok, it's reasonably tolerant if it.

The other portions that are uncovered have more sensitive analog circuits. You need to be more careful of how you route power, to avoid noise, so you don't cover it all in a big network on the top metal layer, but instead it's routed more selectively.
Well think about it. You are asking for nationalization of drug research and production.

Clinical trials are expensive and private companies specialize in the later stages.

There is also the idea of shared risk. Government does not want to take on the entire risk
The "What has this project been used for?" section in the wigle FAQ is not very compelling tbh. Now that most routers ship WPA-2 secured by default and you can find free wifi everywhere, I think the most valid use that remains is finding malicious networks. But it seems to me that by and large this is nerds doing free work for the people who use their data commercially which seems kind of anti-hacker.
Who else should they advertise to then? The consumers aren't knowledgeable enough to make the decision on which drug they should take. Doctors are the only one qualified.

In fact, it is morally worse to advertise and influence people who don't know any better. At least, doctors are educated and it is their duty, both ethically and professionally, to learn about new drugs that best treat their patients. That is the whole point of a Medical Science Liaison. They are the "advertisers" for a pharma to make sure doctors know about the drug their companies make.

Mind you, at this level, advertising is a bit different. These MSLs are legally required to disclose both the indicators and the side effects and have strict rules in what they are allowed to give and say to doctors. There are hundreds of laws in place to prevent corruption/bribery. Of course there are bad actors everywhere, but at least, it is more regulated than Congress's "lobbying" and Supreme Court's "gifts".
i wonder if this is because they don't know how to secretly store (say, in an LLM) what your "reactions" were or whatever, so when you wholesale start wiping out your interactions on the site they have two conclusions - you're a bad actor who stole your account; or, you're stealing from them, stealing the only thing they care about, your personal info and preferences.

Parent's issues predate GDPR (i think?) - but i do know i tried one of those reddit "wholesale delete all content and interaction" apps/scripts/plugins whatever, and i got the same thing.

actually ignore my first, i just realized it's to stop people from either stealing and selling, or just the owner selling their account - imagine a 16 year old FB account, it'd be pretty hard to ban that account (you'd think).

either way, it's my data, and i want it NOW
>I do not understand the resistance from some police.

The police don’t care if the bodycam will exonerate them, because in the absence of a bodycam they will exonerate themselves and no one will do anything about it.
My mindset is correct. I have not engaged in act of hostility.

Stop hallucinating like a bad LLM.
Traveling through a city on foot, bike and transit is “being treated like cattle”? You prefer sitting in gridlocked traffic in a personal automobile instead, because that’s less like “cattle”? Ok. But decent people have the right to their freedom of transporting themselves on foot and by bike and transit, and to be free from the danger and pollution caused by entitled people making unnecessary trips in personal automobiles. Facts, and the rights of everyone else, do not end where your feelings and opinions begin.
* White-collar crimes are estimated to make up only 3% of federal prosecutions.

* White-collar crime prosecutions decreased 53.5% from 2011 to 2021.

* Annual losses from white-collar crimes as of 2021 are anywhere from $426 billion to $1.7 trillion. The wide range here is due to the lack of prosecutions.

* There were 4,180 white-collar prosecutions in 2022.

* It’s estimated that up to 90% of white-collar crimes go unreported.

Etc.

Guys the connection is clear if you think about it.

High-net-worth individuals use encrypted messaging apps more than the general population, without doubt.

They also have far more resources and abilities to fight a subpoena. It's all distinctively unfair and highly misleading to normal people; for very little real reason and with great potential for abuse.
The flip side is a lot of governance in US which is typically centralized is distributed to states and yet there are 2M federal employees.

Also only country with comparable language complexity to EU is India, so many languages adds enormous amount of paperwork and bureaucracy, US does not simply have to deal with it.

I do agree there would be a benefit from removing the marketing. But the benefit would be little more than what is spent on said marketing.

It comes back to the same thing--where is the money going to come from? Few medicines actually have a high per-unit production cost. The cost is usually mostly amortizing R&D and the production equipment. (And looking at R&D overall--you have to count the spending on the failures as well as on the successes.) Sell fewer pills and you don't cut that R&D cost, you just distribute it across fewer pills.
Most people really, really do not understand the large amount of military traffic on Telegram, and the consequence of that during wartime... and how valuable that is to multiple nation-states around the world.

Strategic comms, soldier command and control, battlefield drone command and control, intel asset management.

It's surprising the go tooling doesn't have a more native way to do something like this already. Upstream issue: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/50745

Like, go already has test caching (so "only test stuff that changed" shouldn't be necessary, that should just happen), and code formatting and such is already quite fast...

Overall, I feel like having another tool which parses my go source code is going to be slower than writing a Makefile to wrap:

go list -f '{{.Dir}}' -m | xargs -L1 go test ./...

which is all this tool doing really.

Also, hilariously, the repo isn't go fmt'd [0], despite being a tool to go fmt your repo. That's really funny, but I don't think the go community is ready for that level of humor yet, maybe one day.

I thought Ziegler was on the high side if anything. And now I find most people in this demographics exercise think he was on the low side.

Rent rolls, and parish records would be the main source in the UK? Death registries might be unreliable because who has time to fill in the book? But the 5 and 10 year distance of land-rent and parish records would tell a tale.

(I am unsure how other economies did this stuff. the UK had the followon of the domesday book and the talley stick returns to run on)

I believe the main issue is the rubber and chemicals from the nice road surfaces. So your argument seems like a problem looking for a solution?
I second the point about the difference. Can’t tell why, but signal and whatsapp feel just awful ui/ux-wise. And that’s not a habit thing, I’ve used whatsapp before telegram (and still it was unideal). Telegram knows UX-fu and how to grow without being the only player on the board.
Don't take it personally, it wasn't aimed as such.
upthread is linked socialfixer plugin, it seemed exactly what i wanted so i installed it and ... it's exactly what i wanted. Just my friends and a couple groups i actively joined, on purpose. I don't know how facebook differentiates "joined by commenting" vs "joined by request", but it seems to do it. You can also tell it to stop scrolling, defaults to 10 posts. you can tell it to order chronologically, instead of "the algo".

I read this post whenever it was made (the OP) and i'm glad i read downpage a bit, because i remembered 3 plugins mentioned, and the other one is fbpurity, and the third is i forget, but the Vet mentioned it i think (ctrl-f vet)

Old world aristrocratic mindset.

It's not just the European Union, the UK is the same.

There is a heavy bias towards what works for the incumbents.

One of the ways in which this plays out in Britain is that almost everyone is culturally conditioned to consider themselves as being a certain "class" of person e.g. they'll never start a business, they'll never earn above a certain amount, they'll work 50 years for a company (not the same necessarily, just "a company"), if they're lucky they'll get a mortgage on a 2 bedroom house. They look down on others who want more than that, which works very well for those who have it and want to maintain that moat.

Contrast that with the US in which success is celebrated and even the poorest dream of one day "making it".
My argument is that it's a false equivalence. Both are bad. Yet Assange breathes and is finally free. Navaly is dead. People who merely attended his funeral risked prison time.

facebook has billions of unique users (ostensibly) - so, c'mon, person.
Most prisoners in the US though are state prisoners (i.e., convicted by a state court) not federal prisoners (by a large margin I think). Lots of people are convicted in a state court for example of showing up at a bank branch with fake id and trying to cash a check. I gather that would be considered a white-collar crime?

Yikes. Years before cyberattacks I heard about an org (won't name without some links to details) that managed to get people hired at a copying shop near a big law office. That let them get some peeks at privileged legal documents that the law firm was working on, and they were able to use the info to good advantage. I was surprised that a law firm would use an outside copy shop for anything that confidential.
That's unrealistic. Managers who are unhappy with workers ignoring emails will find a reason to fire them, not promote them, or give them a smaller bonus.
The prices asked were way too high. Several people tried to make this work but the cost for the most basic usage would be huge. They basically slammed the door shut.
It's not un-empathetic, the user just took it personally when it wasn't.
Metadata is indeed an open issue on Matrix. I believe addressing it is on their to-do list.

With that logic you could throw out any labor protection law. Let's keep it constructive.
It can be difficult to explain why bootstrapping is important. I put a "Why?" section in the README of my own bootstrapping compiler [0] for this reason.

Security is a big reason and it's one the bootstrappable team tend to focus on. In order to avoid the trusting trust problem and other attacks (like the recent xz backdoor), we need to be able to bootstrap everything from pure source code. They go as far as deleting all pre-generated files to ensure that they only rely on things that are hand-written and auditable. So bootstrapping Python for example is pretty complicated because the source contains code generated by Python scripts.

I'm much more interested in the cultural preservation aspect of it. We want to preserve contemporary media for future archaeologists, for example in the Arctic World Archive [1]. Unfortunately it's pointless if they have no way to decode it. So what do we do? We can preserve the specs, but we can't really expect them to implement x265 and everything else they would need from scratch. We can preserve binaries, but then they'd need to either get thousand-year-old hardware running or virtualize a thousand-year-old CPU. We can give them, say, a definition of a simple Lisp, and then give them code that runs on that, but then who's going to implement x265 in a basic Lisp? None of this is really practical.

That's why in my project I made a simple virtual machine, then bootstrapped C on top of it. It's trivially portable, not just to present-day architectures but to future and alien architectures as well. Any future archaeologist or alien civilization could implement the VM in a day, then run the C bootstrap on it, then compile ffmpeg or whatever and decode our media. There are no black boxes here: it's all debuggable, auditable, open, handwritten source code.

More thorough than the usual travel blogger content in some ways. Seems mostly full of posts from government employees and diplomats. At least in Thailand many of those expats live in a gated community bubble, and only interact with Thais as maids, nannies, drivers, and chefs.

The questions seem focused on contrasting life in the US with the foreign country. I suppose that gives some useful information but it doesn’t capture the unique aspects of the foreign place. For example asking how to get certain groceries from the US but not asking about adopting a local diet instead.
