The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. - 1984

is not a winning message in the US. Dems should have seen people are suffering and instead of giving them economic data given them hope (the Republicans at least offered some 'other' to blame/direct anger at). Most Americans use food as their comfort/escape. They can no longer even afford that. Personally, I think the Democrats need to run on ending zero hour jobs and $1 cheeseburgers.

Zero hour jobs are ones where people have to have 1 or more jobs that don't give you a schedule until the start of the week, don't guaranty you any hours (other than that you will get less than 36), don't give benefits. It allows companies to cut to the bone (which overworks people) knowing that if the company needs more hours they will just push up the hours later in the week (which wreaks havoc on peoples lives because these people often need to work/juggle hours at two jobs). Companies should have to staff like they used to with actual jobs and not treat/schedule people like EC2 instance. At the least the government shouldn't count zero hour jobs as 'employment' in the traditional sense. They are not. They are human EC2 instances and that is a very stressful(harmful) way to live.
CoreLogic was doing something like this, but line of sight from a window and then be able to possibly identify the scene / view that can be had from that window.
If you can feel that way about your work, but still understand that this approach has its own benefits, you're probably a really good person to hire when a startup does hit scaling issues from their crappy original code!

Knowing thyself is a superpower all its own; we need people to write scrappy code to validate a business idea, and we need people who look at code with disgust, throw it out, and write something 100x as efficient.
Yeah, what exactly are we supposed to do or feel about people who absolutely refuse to vote or act in their own best self-interest, and instead do the opposite, acting self-destructively? The best thing to do with them is to get away from them, because their self-destructive actions could easily affect you too.

The campaign obviously had that concern and acted on it; it’s irrelevant if you think it’s “tortuous logic”. When did the affair occur? When did the payment occur, and what was the surrounding context? — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormy_Daniels–Donald_Trump_...

Then, read this again —

“This case alleges that in 2016 Trump arranged to pay off an adult entertainer in order to hide his affair with her from the public. The important thing to keep in mind is that the money was given to protect Trump’s campaign for the presidency — not to protect his marriage or protect him from personal embarrassment.”
I'm using Copilot in VScode every day, it works fine, but I mostly use it as glorified one-line autocomplete. I almost never accept multi-line suggestions, don't even look at them.

I tried to use AI deeper, like using aider, but so far I just don't like it. I'm very sensitive to the tiny details of code and AI almost never got it right. I guess actually the main reason that I don't like AI is that I love to write code, simple as that. I don't want to automate that part of my work. I'm fine with trivial autocompletes, but I'm not fine with releasing control over the entire code.

What I would love is to automate interaction with other humans. I don't want to talk to colleagues, boss or other people. I want AI to do so and present me some short extracts.

That's one article that seemed a good summary, but there are a half dozen different things that could be cited as ways Biden has supported unions.
That’s exactly what ‘the powers that be’ want you to think.
While this seems like a fairly rapid doom and gloom scenario if you think about it in the context of a single term, one has to wonder about what happens in 4 years. He had no problem trying to subvert previous elections. With all branches of government falling in line, it seems like he'll have plenty of time to do as he pleases. So I don't think this is all that far fetched if we look at it as a decade or two process. Obviously he'll die at some point but I imagine he'd appoint a similar successor.

But Americans knew this because of Jan 6, so it's what we deserve I guess.

It's still possible to incorrectly use relaxed operations, and have your algorithm only incidentally work because the compiler hasn't reordered them and you're on a CPU with a stronger memory model.

But yes, it's an order of magnitude easier to get portability right using the C++/Rust memory model than what came before.

I would advise annotating your experience anecdotes, which are surely valuable, with some information about team size, company size, corporate structure (tech team in a non tech corp, vs pure tech), age etc.

The meat is in the detail, I find.
Germans roads are often very nice. The autobahn is awesome. Germans also pay $2.76/gallon in fuel tax.

Californians only pay $0.68/gallon. You up for an additional $2.08/gallon in taxes to pay for those sweet, German roads?

In Colorado you get an email when they mail a ballot to you, another email when they receive your ballot, and a third when it's counted.

Colorado came out way against Trump, though, despite having been a swing state in recent memory.
It's about as bad as the replacement of single-walled tanks with double-walled was. Easier, because the double-walled tanks probably aren't leaking. When you
see a gas station with a little fenced-off area and a tiny building with warning signs, that's usually because there was a leaky tank there and the slow cleanup process is underway.

Gas stations are all about location.

There will probably be a business in doing a turnkey conversion. Prepare to bring in heavy power, shut down gas station, remove pumps, remove tanks, clean up and repair convenience store, put in chargers on the islands, replace signage, power up.
Thanks. I find that useful too.

That can be a threat, but a billionaire American or South African with similar power and motivation is also a threat.
Nearly 40M ? It was 41.8 million as of 2022.
I agree that they are unlikely to become viable policy, but environmentally imposed degrowth will become increasingly real. Natural physical constraints are tightening and are already imposing into manufactured reality. Hitting the physical bounds hard and having to deal with that is looking more likely since human ecological footprint (population x resource intensiveness) is unlikely to drop fast enough to avoid them.
I think it was decently clear that they were disagreeing about the age restriction of 18, but my comments were referencing how the two of them had been simply arguing over the semantics of the mention of 18 years of age then 6 years of age after that. There seemed to be a language disconnect getting in the way of their disagreement, even though it was clear they disagreed on the 18 years of age point.
Wow, this resonated with me extremely strongly. Only realised the term “latchkey kid” applied to me in my thirties. Like many, didn’t mind it, wouldn't say it harmed me. Didn’t feel neglected: my mum needed to work and I knew she was home as soon as she could be.

But oh god can I relate about boomer divorces.

What a baffling comment to post under an article about the birth rate of a specific country and quite different from that of many others.

Presumably the only espionage asset ByteDance has is the data it keeps on Canadian users. (Which probably includes information on arctic military installations, etc.)

TikTok is still going to collect that data, and it will be kept in China, far beyond Canada's reach. To remove concern over the data, I reckon you'd go about it backwards: Get rid of the app, which is up to no good. Keep the offices, so that they can be spied on or forced into transparency via the courts.
The per-ton CO2 emissions of those boats is still much, much lower than by truck or rail. Large ships are insanely efficient at moving cargo; that's why it's so economical to transport stuff across the planet.
Polycam or Scaniverse
You can have well-defined interfaces without splitting it into many repos just like how you can have well-defined interfaces without splitting it into microservices. In fact, I've seen enough garbage to know that forcing the issue via these mechanisms just makes bad software worse.
Not silly at all! There's actually a lot more being done here than just cropping...

Check out the "Source Image(s)" link attached to each pic, it should give you a much better idea what the camera is actually seeing. Scroll to the bottom of the source image and you can see the different color channels as well as how it's interleaved for transmission.

We read through the WebSocket RFC, and Chromium's WebSocket implementation, dug through our profile data, and discovered two primary causes of slowness: fragmentation, and masking.

So they are only half way correct about masking. The RFC does mandate that client to server communication be masked. That is only enforced by web browsers. If the client is absolutely anything else just ignore masking. Since the RFC requires a bit to identify if a message is masked and that bit is in no way associated to the client/server role identity of the communication there is no way to really mandate enforcement. So, just don't mask messages and nothing will break.

Fragmentation is completely unavoidable though. The RFC does allow for messages to be fragmented at custom lengths in the protocol itself, and that is avoidable. However, TLS imposes message fragmentation. In some run times messages sent at too high a frequency will be concatenated and that requires fragmentation by message length at the receiving end. Firefox sometimes sends frame headers detached from their frame bodies, which is another form of fragmentation.

You have to account for all that fragmentation from outside the protocol and it is very slow. In my own implementation receiving messages took just under 11x longer to process than sending messages on a burst of 10 million messages largely irrespective of message body length. Even after that slowness WebSockets in my WebSocket implementation proved to be almost 8x faster than HTTP 1 in real world full-duplex use on a large application.
Yes, loved that game! Would have loved it more if it was actually finished.
> why would Europe, Asia and other countries of the Americas still allow US Big Tech

Well I guess if they want access to what those tech companies offer, then that is why.

But maybe they don't want access to the benefits of US tech companies. Thats understandable.

Just like I am perfectly fine with us not getting the "benefits" of tiktok.

The problem is solved in my book if there is a decoupling of these tech industries. Personally, I think the US tech industry is better and will provide the most benefits. But if other countries don't want that, thats fine by me as well.
I forgot about how drastic the Wii was regardless of native compatibility with GameCube.

I guess I was under the assumption that because on the joy cons unique format, it would be hard to escape with fully compatible support. But I didn’t own a Switch for very long so idk if that’s true.
As far as I can find, Bytedance is one of only three companies ordered to shutter their Canadian operations. The other two are both involved in the drone detection space.

This makes the most sense if Canada expects (or has) Canadian troops secretly deployed somewhere. And that is one sobering thought.
Trump will say in a few weeks how great the economy is under his rule, when absolutely nothing will be different from now, and people will gobble it up.

It's the stupidity, stupid.
Yeah union jobs definitely seem to get all the safety aspect down in my experiences in the US. In some cases in can be a little overzealous, but 99.99% of the time you want to be doing what they recommend and have the tools and safety gear they expect so you don't get maimed or killed just to save somebody else 30 cents. That isn't to say you can't find safe non-union work, but generally you gotta do a bit of job hopping around in most trades to find a safe employer because doing unsafe shit is all too uncommon in trades.

ByteDance can't sell advertising in Canada. They can't make money off of Canadian customers, that has to hurt, although it is small potatoes compared to being banned in California, let alone the whole of the USA.
FWIW Nate Silver also said don't trust any polls this year, and his gut was with Trump.
Joe Biden can barely walk down the stairs without tripping.

Which is why he left the race back in July. Did you miss this fact?

Kamala had a "phone" call with an undecided voter just yesterday and when she showed the screen it was the camera app.

Actually this anecdote, and your touting of it, showcases just how naive Trump voters really are. The story has already been debunked on multiple fact-checking sites -- not that it needs debunking, because every single one of us knows how flaky phones are these days, and if you just brush them the wrong way you can set off all kinds of random apps. We all know this, because it happens to each and every one of us multiple times a day. (To add to this, it almost certainly wasn't her own phone, making such a mixup even more likely to happen). There's just absolutely nothing of substance here. Any reasonable person hearing this story would just roll their eyes and say, "Yeah right". They wouldn't even waste more than a second or two thinking about it, because it's so obviously bogus.

But what kind of reactions do Trump supporters have, when a story like this pops up on whatever website or newsapp they're addicted to? A variety we might guess, but judging by your own, for some reason it doesn't even occur to them to second-guess or fact-check the story. They just believe it, because a website told them it was important and they probably read other comments on that article page or social media feed with all kinds hyperemotional reactions indicating that it was a valid and important story, too, so by gosh, I guess it must be, right?

And then they go on the internet and share it with their friends, and they tell 2 friends, and so on, and so on, and that, in so many variations about other completely baseless rumors and smears, like Kamala's alleged drinking problem, her "hearing aid", about her "turning black" and so forth ad nauseum -- exactly as you've done right here, right now.

Not surprisingly, they also have no problem believing that a guy pumping his fist in the air means he's a "badass" or that this is demonstrative of the key qualities we need in someone to run the most powerful country on the planet. Instead of being yet another indication of the obvious shlockmeister and con artist that he is.

Which is what brought us to the outcome we got last night.
A billionaire American lives in America and generally benefits if America benefits. A foreign country is not aligned to America’s interests and may be outright hostile to them.
First, the Republicans have been running on a platform of pretend fiscal responsibility, and so deserve more criticism for the hypocrisy per their own standards. The Democrats have just been upfront about spending money.

Second, there's a huge difference between spending new money on specific policies for deliberate outcomes, and blindly dumping it into the financial sector to bid up the everything bubble as fuel for the Potemkin stock market and a handout to asset owners.
Thats not how blackmail operations work...

The compromise is total. Presidents are puppets. They do as told. There is a shadow government, and CoG is still at play. The reality is so crazy most people can't handle it.

Congress is the same. Total compromise. Every once in a while someone tries to buck a bit like Thomas Massie. Then his wife died suddenly...
How to Learn: Userland Disk I/O
Surely further privatizing health and elder care is the answer!

Our glorious president elect even leads by example, repeatedly recommending his nephew illegally euthanize a disabled son. If only we all had fathers like Trump Sr., to make us tough and hard men who will either 'succeed' (bankruptcy doesn't count!) or be driven to alcohol and suicide.

Can't have that filthy socialist communism infecting the minds of the young! /s
> I’ve daydreamed about learning a trade – something that required both my mind and my hands.

Respect to her for actually doing it unlike every other email-job-holder who just revels in telling other people to learn a trade.
I thought Hillary failing was a clear indictment that America is not ready for a woman to be president. I hate that it’s true, but too much of the American heartland is conservative and plenty of them vote against their own interest (see: abortion contention). To then go ahead with a woman of color, and then have celebrity endorsements that don’t do anything to increase voter turnout shows how out of touch with reality the DNC really is. What a shame, and it doesn’t help that Kamala never had mass appeal. Pete Buttegieg would have been a far better bet, personally speaking.
The EU seems like a more stable thing than the US these days. Japan has always been a stable thing. The west can’t really do India or China, but those would also make better options than the US right now. It’s not unprecedented for people to flee the USD.
This is why I un-registered and voted Jill Stein as an independent voter.

That, plus the infuriating, incessant spam texts.
Canadian here. Disappointed by the lack of transparency. First, no corporation should be unilaterally shut down without a clear explanation provided, including facts & evidence (which would normally come to light during due process).

Second, if the company is as dangerous as they say, they are doing a huge disservice to citizens by withholding that information and handicapping our ability to make an informed choice about using the app.

Pushing their operations out of Canada also reduces their accountability footprint to subsequent lawsuits or legislation.

This is a weird half-measure and I have trouble making sense of it.
You have an excellent point that I didn't take into account when I left my comment. Personally I don't mind the electoral college too much but the gerrymandering that goes on in the U.S. is epic.

Against that we have people saying we need Voter ID? Is there any more better time to use the "arranging deck chairs on the Titanic" analogy, except for perhaps on an actual sinking ship?
Whatever threats it'll take. I don't hold much hope. After all Trump couldn't even get us to raise defense spending to 2%.
Speaks volumes about perceived power balance between governments and corporations. You'd think that forcing a foreign company to operate through a national subsidiary would be beneficial to the government in terms of intelligence/counterintelligence, but apparently they worry it would be more beneficial to the company and/or its home country.
It's also backwards.

Structure society and economy in a way that makes it appealing to have children (both in that the hypothetical parents feel safe in doing so without endangering their own quality of life, and in that they can imagine the hypothetical children to be happy too), and people will have them.
Yes, I voted for the green party.
I wonder how much effort it really takes to release a game for both PS4 and PS5, especially if you're already building it for Xbox and PC. PC requires you to support a wide array of performance capabilities, at least in theory making it easy to scale back performance to a previous-gen console; and they're probably still using an evolution of the same engine they were using for PS4, so at least to my mind it's a checkbox, some performance tuning and a bunch of QA. (at least in theory). maybe some different servers to support multiplayer - but since CoD supports cross play maybe not even that.
which should disproportionately affect the wealthy. Another way of saying that: we pay higher prices with inflation so the wealthy are more wealthy. That money goes somewhere.
I wasn’t aware that ImHex had this feature - perhaps I’ll try it!

I’ve been singing the praises of 010 Editor for years specifically because of its template and scripting features, the former of which is nearly identical to this DSL.

BMW doesn’t get the tarriff anyway. Why would they be happy about it?
It’s comical because you’re comparing literal communists and human rights offenders (some pure evil) to a
_republican_ president in a democracy over 200 years old with decentralized power between the states as well as private sector independence.

I’d question which party would bring us closer to something such as the cultural revolution or government-ran industries.

Still, what most fail to understand is the core values instilled in places like our military as the ultimate check/balance.
This is cool. Explains also Boris Johnston. Similar to the finding that people believe text more if it's in a larger font.
If they only had remote workers this wouldn't be a big deal. Shame on you tiktok for making everyone return to the office.
> If everyone is spewing (sorry ... sharing) pics on TikTok, X and co then you won't stand out from the crowd

You’re assuming people are consistent. You may have been photographed doing the same thing as all your peers, the fact that your photo can be highlighted unfavourable is ample ammo for proven lines of character attacks.
Isn't it Biden that increased tariffs on certain imports from a certain country to 100%?
Having the same name was an understandable marketing decision, but I think it probably harmed it in many ways. The game is interesting and different even today (although I’ve mention my reservations about it further up)
Doesn't hurt to proactively appease the next leader of the US. Especially an ornery one looking to settle some scores.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this news broke a day after trump's election.
