- "votes from Hungarians outside Hungary (weird to vote for shit that does not affect you)"

I don't know if you're double-trolling or not, but it's pretty dehumanizing rhetoric to say people who've left their country for work or other reasons are not real citizens and presumptively have no stake in their own country's future.

(It's even stranger you apply this kind of–nativist?–language to a member state of the EU, where transnational ties are a founding ideal of that anti-nationalist union..)
Gleam is on the paper the "Simpler Rust"

I've heard this sentiment expressed a lot, but I don't understand it.

Rust is unique because it is a relatively high-level language that at the same time does constrain you in the least possible ways. It doesn't require a runtime, it has no mandatory garbage collector, it runs on a wide variety of hardware platforms and operating systems. Rust is not only suitable to write embedded software, operating systems, web applications and web frontends, it is good at each - it might not be perfect or the best in each category, but it is astonishingly good. And finally it manages to be like that, being a relatively boring language even - familiar syntax, modern features but from a research perspective nothing fancy.

There will always be new languages that have their niche, but to be a "Rust, just X" it will have to be as general purpose as Rust already is.
Funny enough, that's actually a sound proposal and is "somewhat" implemented as high ranking officials are expected to always be with someone documenting their acts. It is usually considered scandalous when they ditch their translator or secretary and talk with other high ranking officials in complete secrecy.

It makes all the sense to have politicians %100 monitored %100 of the time. Store it in encrypted blackbox and if something big enough happens, then unlock it.

> You might argue that is wasteful of space pushing these duplicates, but your other options are either to graft this functionality on to a normal priority queue in which case you're using that space anyway, or to use a much more complex and usually slower kind of priority queue with this operation naturally (e.g. Fibonacci heaps).

FWIW, my favorite solution for Dijkstra is the winner-tree (a binary heap except that all the nodes are in leaves, so the interior nodes are duplicates). Simple to implement, O(log n) insert/delete/update, can be made branch-free in important cases, constant extra overhead over a binary heap. I've found it to be _much_ faster in practice than stashing duplicates into a regular maxheap (I'm not sure if I agree with your notion that there are few of them).

Today I added support for RSS enclosures. So you have full support for podcasts/audio formats.
I'm very excited, emacs does get a bit janky at times, especially with many packages installed. This is far more batteries included and it not having a "redisplay.c" is a huuuge plus in my opinion. I'll try to use it and see how far I can get, if LSP works it's enough to do basic work + a magit alternative also already exists.
You absolutely can get around restrictive laws through technical means, that's why buying illegal drugs online is safer and more convenient than even before.
There are people who believe that their job is more important than anything else and that they deserve to have the "sudo tools" so they can override any protection to catch the bad people and that they are respected mature people so it is OK to grant them with these privileges, they will be careful and won't abuse it.

Obviously that's bad idea and a bad practice as we know it from IT systems.

Maybe their intentions are good but even proposing something like that should be considered a ground for dismissal. EU, USA etc. are not startups, these are not newly forming countries that full stack politicians need the sharpest tools to make something great quickly. Those are established, sophisticated institutions that must move slowly and be risk averse and there's no space for sharp tools like these and the problems need to be solved through navigating the complex structure.

Maybe wouldn't be as fun as running Turkmenistan, maybe they will lag behind this emerging unicorn called China in some respect but that's how very large and complex structures have to operate. The new kids on the block will end up exactly the same if they are successful and mature beyond the hype.
That’s pretty quick?

Yes this is correct and there isn’t an alternative. Worse, both MasterCard and Visa also take moral or political positions on what transactions are allowed. For example you may have trouble collecting payments for porn. A more serious example is when they banned donations to Wikileaks in 2010 [link below], as a coordinated action doing the state’s bidding. This was in response to the release of diplomatic cables, which is just plain old journalism. In my opinion, this issue of control and freedom is worse than the transactional cost.

I don't believe the previous proposals contain penalties for end users, just operators of noncompliant services. There were also some exceptions that mean educated and determined users would still have access to secure options.

I think the policy goal is to make secure chat non-mainstream. It's easy to imagine reasons governments might want that, and most of them aren't aligned with the principles of liberal democracy.

All good sentiments.

However, objectifying the human form is pretty much what three quarters of media is about. To dig deeper, every third ad image, all fashion photos, half the oil paintings in the world are vulnerable to those criticisms.

This was pretty tone-deaf - using live people when a department-store dummy would have done (and strangely, provoked little criticism, think about that).

I think one real good test of a democracy is to plot a line with years and above the name of the person ruling the country.

In the US you will see at least every 8 years a different name on top of the line.

I think a good democratic system will not have a new leader every year but maybe every 4-8 years.

Anything below won’t be stable enough for mid/long term policy changes. Anything above will be good for the leader and her entourage but most probably not for the entire country and its democracy.

Poor law enforcement who are not capable of acquiring evidence via a controlled buy. Better give them access to everyone's private messages, that will definitely solve crimes once and for all.

My point it: if shouting "I am doing something illegal" in public isn't enough to get law enforcement's attention, how would access to private messages change this?

These threading issues may also be present when not using embedding. Embedding the interpreter frequently shows general threading bugs much quicker.

In other words, when "torturing" the interpreter with embedding a threading bug might show up after 30 min. The same threading bug might show up once every 6 months in a web server (which is a nasty security risk, since it is hard to detect and to reproduce).
When I was a child, we would play a game called "the floor is lava". It's a simple game: you have to get around, but not touch the floor. Jumping on the furniture and such. Fine for a pastime, when you're small, but to get places, you use the floor.

A certain faction of the project to decarbonize the electrical grid likes to play a similar childish game: "nuclear power is lava". It causes them to come up with whimsical and absurd epicycles, which make no sense at all unless you're playing that game.

Seasonal storage of 2GWh? Please. A 2GW plant produces 2GWh every hour, with 90% uptime. And it doesn't involve losing more than 90% of the photovoltaic energy, I will eat my whole hat if the ray-to-electricity pipeline for this boondoggle exceeds 10% efficiency.

Can we please stop wasting time and effort, and invest in the buildout of a substantial nuclear fleet to provide baseline power?
Depends on what you publish.... if you just yell about different random people, sure... if you post a video of war crimes, well.. that's a different story now.
You can’t eliminate chromatic aberration with coatings, it’s a physical property of how the lens interacts with light. The only way to fix it is to adjust your lens types or materials. Zeiss’ current marketing seems to agree https://www.zeiss.com/consumer-products/us/nature-observatio...

Coatings are still very useful to reduce other lens artefacts though.
We’re rapidly approaching that reality, yes.

Yes this is definitely what the parent comment was getting at, he gave voting rights to diaspora ethnic Hungarians: “Orban granted citizenship and the right to vote in Hungarian elections to more than a million Hungarians living in neighbouring countries. At the last election, 95% of those who voted backed Fidesz.”

The US does not have free speech. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/pro-palestinian-... I’m not suggesting the UK is better, btw, just rather that free speech already doesn’t exist anywhere. Some of these you can criticize because they aren’t public universities, and perhaps that’s fair, and the rest you can criticize because they weren’t arrested for protesting, but rather having “illegal encampments”, but a rose by any other name is still a rose.

Not sure what society's problems are you hinting at, but private communication is just a technical problem and has technical soultions. Even if it turns out to be a bit of a cat/mouse game in practice. Technical solutions often work on individual level, work right now, and work even if majority of people don't care to implement the political soultion.

If competent individuals will want private communication, they will have it regardless of what minor distopia EU politicians will dream up.

> PC GEOS had no future because it was written in object-oriented 8086 assembly language. This made it very small and efficient but effectively tied it to that 16bit platform. When PCs moved to 32bit and protected mode with the 386 there was no hope for GEOS.

Microsoft faced a very similar problem with Windows - Windows was 16-bit code, a mixture of C and assembler. How did Microsoft handle it?

Firstly, it isn’t necessarily hard to port 16-bit real mode code to 16-bit protected mode. It really depends on how much segment manipulation you do. If you treat segments as opaque values and hide operations on them behind some API, all you have to do is change the implementation of that API.

Secondly, you can create a 32-bit protected mode kernel, and then run 16-bit code under it: you can run 16-bit code under it directly (just mark some code segments as 16-bit and others as 32-bit); if you really need to run 16-bit real mode code, you can use virtual 8086 mode. This is essentially what Windows did, back in Windows 2.x/3.x/9x/Me timeframe

You can use thunks to mix 16-bit and 32-bit code so they can call each other. That way you can write new code as 32-bit, rewrite performance-critical 16-bit code as 32-bit, but leave existing non-performance critical 16-bit code as-is.

You can even reassemble 16-bit assembly to run in a 32-bit code segment, the assembler just needs to stick 66 and/or 67 size overrides before (most) instructions. It will bloat the code, but it might be an option in some cases.

Another option, is write a transpiler from 16-bit assembly to C, and then compile that as 32-bit. DEC did something similar for the OpenVMS transition from VAX to Alpha - they wrote a compiler for VAX assembly language which compiled it to Alpha machine code; the same idea was carried forward in the Itanium and x86 ports. Similarly, in the early days of 8086, a lot of 8080 assembly code was ported to 8086 using tools that read in 8080 assembly and wrote out the 8086 equivalent (e.g. Intel’s CONV86, Tim Paterson’s TRANS86, Digital Research’s XLT86)

So I don’t think GEOS’ technical debt was insurmountable - Microsoft faced some similar issues with Windows (even if they didn’t have it quite as bad). Various options were available to address it. Rather, I think the real issue likely was that GEOS couldn’t attract sufficient investment to pursue them.
I think if I were reading a statement like "no nazi bullshit" and thought it applied to me, I'd probably wonder "are we the baddies?"[1].

Isn't it possible that such a system will over-produce 99% of the year and that therefore, the marginal cost will almost always be $0?

'Take my energy and allow me to stop accelerating my flywheels which regulate production' seems more plausible than 'someone would always like more heat for something' (what?)

Or possibly 'take my energy and I'll cut off some of the people using spare energy to do low priority, low value computation for free'?
There's not a single place on earth that "has" free speech, it's all shades of gray.

The US government will have you jailed, tortured, or just ruin your life in other innovative ways if you dare expose their crimes, e.g. Snowden, Assange.

It’s pretty easy to understand. The syntax is similar and it uses a lot of the same patterns, but it’s a lot lighter weight.

Glad you love Rust, but it is not remotely straightforward or “boring” — there’s a lot of hidden magic behind idiomatic Rust. And I wouldn’t call it “astonishingly good” for many of the use cases you mention. It can do all those things, but often not easily.
the chat control is one thing we need in order to make a great leap forward towards a safer EU. It's probably one of the most consequential pieces of high-tech that the EU ever created. We should all be thankful that it exists and not let a minority of lawyers prevent the future. Our basic freedoms can only be guaranteed with an extensive surveillance system to (preemtively?) remove bad actors in these perilous times.

Some EU countries are way ahead in this direction, and one could say they lead the way to the future. For example Greece has repeatedly used the Predator malware to spy on the communications of hundreds of people, including the leader of an opposition party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Greek_surveillance_scanda...). As a result, millions of tourists flocked into the country in the following years, and everybody says it is great.
Arguably it also should be “1s’” instead of “1’s”. ;)
In the U.S., it's definitely illegal to listen in in any environment where there's an expectation of privacy.

For a contract to be binding, there is supposed to be a meeting of the minds, a shared understanding between the parties of what is being agreed to. Their argument is you signed the 50 page contract, so you knew.

Let's be fair, in a real democracy, there would be no government secrets... I mean.. we're paying for all that, we need to know.

Do you perhaps live in the US? The EU didn't shut down any nuclear power plants. Local politicians in Germany and Sweden (and perhaps more countries) did. And they were very much elected. I don't think any technocrats would do something that stupid.

The EU has elections every five years where the members of parliament are chosen. They very much answer to the public. Why would you think they don't?
