Eh... or the shift from traditional fact checked journalism to crowd sourced channels has enabled a much more virulent strain of populism to succeed in elections.

Turns out, when you promise people more money, less taxes, and fewer of "them" (whoever the them-du-jour is), they tend to vote for you!

Historically, this truth has been balanced out by trustworthy news sources, but social media effectively imploded 80% of those by eating their ad revenue.
The metadata problem is unrelated to eggs. Eggs haven’t played much of a role in a long time but the metadata system still exists.

Range requests are used by both uv and pip if the index supports it, but they have to make educated guesses about how reliable that metadata is.

The main problem are local packages during development and source distributions.
So just encase it in a lead box...

Oh, wait...
But when two sets of fingerprints, are different, you can be fairly sure they're from different people. But when the percentage of some features is 20% in one text, and 30% in another, you still can't conclude anything. I write in different registers in contexts such as personal emails, professional emails to a large group, professional emails to a direct colleague, a quick post on the internet, an 'app' to a friend in another country, a text message on a phone, etc. I even write them in different languages. It's hard to imagine there's a well-defined, properly grounded model that can unite those yet distinguish them from written output by other people.

And now LLMs are going to add more noise to these features...

Tiktok ban is a farce because FAANG companies don't like that a Chinese company is doing what they do better and taking their market share. If they actually cared about the privacy and misinformation risk they would pass privacy laws that affect all social media companies.
I don't think it's a secret that Russia is paying billions to promote a narrative to undermine the EU and America. The Russian money has been flowing to Right Wing/ Left Wing extremists which would not even have a voice without their support. Fringe groups or Candidates receive millions to promote a narrative that causes a breakdown of society. The Chinese are going about it more subtly in the same fashion a drug dealer would get a client hooked.

The problems the EU faces are the problems every one of the members would face alone. The system isn't perfect and needs constant tweaking but the alternative is being alone against the likes of Russia or China.
You may prefer non-acid characteristics in your databases in general.

I do not. There may be specific uses, but standards should be followed when possible.
Because the AIPAC lobby explicitly called TikTok out for exposing young Americans to footage of the Gaza genocide (causing support for Israel among US youth to reach and all-time low), and pushed for the ban. The US politicians who initially pushed it had received hundreds of thousands of dollars of donations from AIPAC.

Thanks. I've learned a lot of languages and enjoy doing it, especially when much of it is a step up, so not a problem there. I may need to just dive in and try it out on a larger project. It was only after doing that with C++ where I really understood what I liked and what I didn't. A lot of the latter is the tooling/IDEs, which doesn't show up reading about the language. One thing I'm not sure about with Rust is porting a UI class hierarchy from C++. Base class `View`, sub classes `Button`, `VStack`, `TextField`, etc. I see how to replace virtual functions with a trait and impls for the various types. But for stuff (fields or methods) shared in the base class, this looks like one area where Rust is uglier than C++.
> I can't help but feel it's not a coincidence that it gets singled out for legislation because it's the only one owned by China.

Of course it's not a coincidence. It's not even a hidden, implicit unspoken motive, it's openly explained as the reason behind the concern! TFA explains this clearly, numerous times.
People using new forms of media to break political status quos is a tale as old as time. This is a classic crackdown on democracy by a flailing elite, complete with the usual scapegoats.
This is the way. Blending two or more styles also works well, especially if they're on opposite poles, e.g. "write like the imaginary lovechild of Cormac McCarthy and Ernest Hemingway."

Paper ballots, and a recount was already issued. There were differences between the two counts but they were minor enough; the recount was actually done because some other guy didn't like the fact that 2nd and 3rd place were only 2000 votes apart.

The breaches apparently didn't do much, the big reason why they cancelled the election was because the leading candidate declared 0 spending for his campaign, but it was proven he used russian money to fund countless tiktok videos that got him popular overnight. This is illegal under romanian law.

Personally, I don't think they should've been cancelled. It's a dubious thing to do under a democracy, and the runner-up was pretty decent anyway and had a chance for the second tour. I guess we'll see how it goes.
Yep. I worded it a bit awkwardly but that was what I was getting at.

I'm thinking of the transitions from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 (IIRC introducing 32-bit and filenames longer than 8 characters) and the transition from Windows 95 to Windows XP (IIRC introducing a proper permission system, thus breaking anything that relied on being able to write things outside of user-owned folders)

I agree they were famously accommodating in those days. But they also had enough market power that if they said users could only write to one folder and it had a space in the filename, developers who disliked it couldn't vote with their feet.
Why does it run in the context of base branch though?
The trap for Germany is that last I checked their demographics are shitty (age and birth rate).

Consequently, they need immigration to maintain population growth.

Unfortunately, not many folks understand how many orders of magnitude more difficult it is to maintain an economy and quality of life in a shrinking country.
the main issue i see is musl: they have an history of not acknowledging bugs and disregarding standards

last big issue i remember is they not implementing fallback-on-tcp when getting large dns record replies, so some dns record resolution would fail. the standard clearly says to switch to tcp under certain conditions, but they did not.

the bug was reproduced and reported, they refused to acknowledge it and kept the issue for a lot of people for a long time (at least one year iirc). they eventually relented and and implemented the correct behaviour.

call glibc what you want, but at least they don't have such dumb issues and that attitude.
That "old superchargers don't work with CCS" is true yet it's not really a problem. First, the software sites that show you chargers know about the different versions. Tesla and even Rivian show you only the superchargers you can use.

The old superchargers (called v2) used the original protocol (CANbus) which is different than CCS's protocol. Newer Tesla superchargers speak the original proto and the ccs wire protocol. All new chargers uses the new protocol. Tesla is slowly replacing their chargers as they age out. At the same time this transition helps reserve a few chargers for teslas (the older v2 ones).

What this means is you use your incar app or a phone app to find chargers, and you only see the ones that you can use. This works for Rivian, Tesla, but also GM and Ford. It's a messy issue for sure, but it's turns out not to be an issue.

The problem I have with cheap inkjets for occasional use is that they tend to stop working after just 1-3 years. A lot of people say it's because the ink dries up and clogs up the works if you don't print regularly. I'm not sure if that's an accurate explanation, and maybe I'm just unlucky, but reliability is the only real complaint I have about inkjets.
Did tiktok convince 20% of the voters to vote for a racist, or did they trick 20% into unwittingly voting for a racist? Hopefully now that everyone is talking about him and his affection for religious fascism a lot of those voters will realize what they voted for and change their vote in the future.

This isn't MBTI. I got confused as well..

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/105960112211214... talks about an "intuitive cognitive style" which looks to tie to https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256450858_Not_All_G... as the easiest place to start, but I'm seeing research back to Cognitive Continuum Theory.

I'm still digging in (this looks like a productive rabbit hole) but this looks like a more rigorous paper based on a different foundation.
> When multiple messages are in flight in the same 'simultaneity window', different observers may receive them in different orders and vector clocks can't determine a consistent order of those events.

That's right! Vector clocks only provide partial order. But partial order is the only actual truth in any distributed system. Total order is a fiction, which only exists in the context of a specific node, based on that specific node's experience of reality (message receipt).

In any non-trivial distributed system, there is no consistent (total) order of events, at least not without a consensus protocol. There are lots of ways to hack a (fake) total order, and many of those approaches are enormously successful nearly all of the time. But, still, you know.

I recently accepted an offer with a company that's doing RTO. However, I've also had companies reaching out to me who are offering full remote. I'm confident that I can get at least 1 offer from the remote companies, and as a result I'm seriously considering renegging on my offer from the RTO company.
I couldn't care less about companies that couldn't care about me.
As a solo developer, especially when you are building free stuff to scratch your itch, of course you are free to pick whatever tech works best for you. My complaint is that this kind of mindset extends beyond solo developers to dev teams in commercial companies, and even worse, in the public sector.

Or maybe it's kind of like there were more than 4 different plugs for mobile phones to charger (lightning for apple, several variants of USB, some weirdo proprietary, then usb-c). A lot of people like me have 3 there way splitters (micro-usb, lightning, usb-c), so I can charge any phone.

The world is switching to usb-c finally
Renege it. And tell them the real reason. They need to know that they are losing candidates because of RTO.

They voted for him because he speaks pretty well for a politician. Also some of his messages really land - consider that Ukraine is losing (very very slowly, and can still win), so it makes sense to talk to both sides since it's unclear who will be calling shots in the region. Moldova is definitely next, right after Ukraine, and it cannot defend itself even from one mechanized brigade.

So like I said, you and I have very different definition. Using yours, you cannot harm someone who is in come or too young to understand what is happening to them. Similarily, if my personal information is being traded online for money a harm is being done to me, even if I'm not aware of these transactions taking place. I just don't expect we'll agree on this.
It seems to me that democratic society runs best where the distance is minimized between individuals with maximum agency vs. individuals with minimum agency. Agency is power, the ability to move other people to get things you want done, to make purchases, to amplify certain viewpoints over others.

In this regard, I usually think of wealth as a proxy for agency. There are other (negatively correlated) proxies that can be conveniently disregarded by certain political persuasions:

* Debt - effectively going into debt is sacrificing future agency for the sake of the present. In the moment of obtaining a loan you will of course have more liquidity at your disposal but after that moment in time your freedoms are limited due to your debt obligations. It's more obscured with purely financial loans - the way it negatively impacts democracy is more obviously seen in quid pro quo arrangements.

* Welfare dependence - like any other dependency relying on welfare decreases an individual's agency. They cannot afford to live without the welfare apparatus they depend on for survival.

In a democratic system we want every voting individual to have as close to the average agency as possible so that there isn't a non-democratic force continually applied corrupting the democratic process. Conversely we know that human beings are strongly motivated by agency maximization which society also needs for progress - in other words, humans need opportunity. The job of a statesman should be to manage these competing priorities.
There's enough social pressure telling us the system works and is fair and just, and that violence is wrong and doesn't change anything.

When you have an event like this, with the overwhelmingly positive reception by regular people, and within 24 hours BCBS rolls back a plan that has been years in the making to limit anesthesia during surgery, it shows two things:

1) murdering people who themselves murder people is not really socially unacceptable

2) direct action works in ways that the system does not

Maybe that changes the status quo a little, who knows?

I'm not denying the West has been quite bad to the Africans, but China isn't any better. They're in it for themselves. They get corrupt regimes to take loans (from China) for work (produced by China), deliver shoddy and useless results, let the local elite get their bribes, and then hold the country ransom over those loans, and demand payment e.g. in natural resources and political influence. All funded by the West's dependence on Aliexpress.

There's obviously no comparison between the two situations.
To citizens and cultural health, yes, the large domestic companies are a much greater threat. There are also many more impediments (by way of law, sentiment, and corruption) to doing anything about it.

But to the US government (and its codependent allies), losing grip of the influence the US secured over the Pacific rim of Asia during to the 20th century and yielding it to China is an embarrassment at best and a major strategic loss at worst, and sets the stage for some kind of active contest of power which would be really costly and painful. Taking measures that prepare for that, under the lax purview of international law and diplomacy, is simply easier to do.

MBTI has decent-ish correlations with career choice. IIRC something like >90% of architects are INT_s (introverted thinkers) and > 80% of counselors/therapist are INF_s (introverted feelers).

But the correlations are not strong enough, nor do they imply causality. And there are other personality metrics which have more predictive power.

That's not to say MBTI has no predictive power - it has some but they are weak. If all you know about someone is their MBTI type, you have more information on their personality than, say, knowing their hair color.

This was covered by Ars last year:
https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/11/ai-with-90-error-rate...

> The lawsuit argues that UnitedHealth should have been well aware of the "blatant inaccuracy" of nH Predict's estimates based on its error rate. Though few patients appeal coverage denials generally, when UnitedHealth members appeal denials based on nH Predict estimates—through internal appeals processes or through the federal Administrative Law Judge proceedings—over 90 percent of the denials are reversed, the lawsuit claims. This makes it obvious that the algorithm is wrongly denying coverage, it argues.

> But, instead of changing course, over the last two years, NaviHealth employees have been told to hew closer and closer to the algorithm's predictions. In 2022, case managers were told to keep patients' stays in nursing homes to within 3 percent of the days projected by the algorithm, according to documents obtained by Stat. In 2023, the target was narrowed to 1 percent.
