'National crisis' as children's reading enjoyment sinks to new low, report warns
It seems the upgrade to 4.0 isn't available from Homebrew yet (brew upgrade fish -> Warning: fish 3.7.1 already installed)
> Well so Zig pointers, by default, has more UB than Rust pointers, at least when concerning null pointers.

Not quite. In Zig, a (non-C) pointer type is closer to a Rust reference in its behavior. It isn't null, and that's enforced by the type system.

The author's point about opting into nullability is that in a function signature you can choose to allow null pointers to be passed to the function by making the argument type an optional pointer, a weaker type with the same safety guarantees (because, like with Rust, the type system forces you to handle the null branch).

I have often used phones without bothering to comprehensively fill out an address book, and should everyone be required to own random network devices or even to take a lot of photos? The only data I can think of which maybe you could "detect" is fake would be the user's extremely course location, but that's only because you might be able to guess at it yourself, at which point the device's data isn't even relevant anymore.

This idea that apps are going to strong arm data out of users seems like one of those talking points which sounds good but doesn't pen out, but somehow simultaneously is used to prevent users from being able to increase either their freedom or their privacy. The status quo sucks, and is in the best interests of both overlords: Facebook knows if it has permission or not, and Apple can claim the only reason they won't abuse this knowledge is if you allow them curation control.
> installing a password manager providing passkeys would prompt to change the setting to use the password manager instead

iOS supports this today. If a password manager app describes that it implements passkey management, iOS asks what you want to be the default and the UI changes a bit to allow easier choices between iCloud and your password manager app.

It sounds like macOS is the place where Apple is lagging the most on API hooks that applications can use to trigger the UX.

It's also possible that Apple is just prioritizing that macOS users are mostly bought into the iCloud Keychain and their cloud infrastructure whereas iOS does have a large known mixture of iOS/Windows users that may bring their own keychains/password managers.

The premise of the Rust half of the article makes no sense. 'Rust has more rules' is not true, references have more rules, and in unsafe code, you aren't using them very much. Comparing the rules that apply to references in Rust to the rules that apply to raw pointers in C and Zig is nonsensical: if you transliterate the Zig code to Rust, no new problems appear! 'What if I create a reference' is easily solved by not creating a reference, just as you are not creating a reference in the Zig code (because Zig doesn't have them). Every problem on Rust's end was just trying to use references instead of pointers. The article then trumpets Zig's tracing allocator as a unique benefit, even though you can do the exact same thing in Rust.
Oh, one more thing!

Oddly, it's not currently considered to be.

> Having the weight of an MD behind a decision can be powerful, but lawyers and judges who’ve handled these sorts of cases say it can be misleading. Although doctors ultimately determine whether to cut off insurance coverage for a particular treatment, those decisions are generally not considered the practice of medicine and therefore cannot be challenged in a malpractice lawsuit. The doctors advising insurance companies can’t be individually sued on medical grounds, even if something goes wrong after the denial. As a result, their names are cited in lawsuits filed against the insurers, but they are not defendants in suits brought by people denied insurance.

I never really ever went to Rite Aid except for, as a kid, we went to go there to get Thrifty Brand Ice Cream. It's actually pretty decent, and they'd always use a giant scoop.
I think some people were just so used to only seeing one type of opinion over and over which confirmed and/or formed their biases and now that Twitter/X was liberated they can't comprehend that their worldview is just one of many and in many cases when allowed people have easily poked holes in it. It's difficult for people to accept that they've possibly been wrong about things, or at the least have their beliefs challenged and not have an authority to appeal to that will make dissent go away.

I do think leaving Twitter because you don't want to be on a corporate social media network is a valid reason though. But Bluesky isn't that. It's just safespace 2.0.
> And I am well aware that my brain must exist in some form of reality. T

To mess with your head a bit more:

We know of no other way that we know the flow of time than indirectly through memory of the flow of events and sensory inputs.

And so while it seems probable that our brains must exist, consider that e.g. a simulated mind that is paused, and where the same step is executed over and over, with no ability to change state, would have no way of telling that apart from the same step being executed only once, to move on to the next.

In that case it's not clear that there'd need to be any full brain, just whatever consciousness is, in a state that has a notion that it has a memory of a past instant.

Put another way: Your consciousness could be just a single frame of a movie, hinting at a past and future that might not exist.

Forever repeating the same infinitely short instant, and nothing else. Maybe the universe is just a large tableau of conscious instants statically laid out and never changing or interacting with each other. We wouldn't know any different.

Of course that is entirely untestable, and so just a fun philosophical question to ponder, mostly as a means to point out just how little we can know, and so how willing we need to be to accept that what matters isn't what we can know, but what is likely to be able to affect our observed world.

E.g. I see myself as a materialist (philosophically speaking) not because I believe it is or can be proven, but because it is our observable reality. If that materialist reality is shaped by our minds and only exists in some abstract form, or we're all in a simulation etc., then that is irrelevant unless/until we find a way to pierce the veil and/or those aspects "leaks" into our observable reality somehow.
I agree. AI is the kind of trend that can be used to push many others like crypto. I think A16Z has the kind of influence which can attract initial investors and speculators. They are well invested in Solana, most probably they see a lot of leverage removing an infrastructure to get a new one and receive the native fees from users.
It’s a shame, I have had a longstanding condition that occasionally requires medication that is not readily available in some pharmacies or that pharmacists occasionally will not even want to stock. CVS is such a miserable experience I stopped going years ago, walgreen’s much the same. My rite aid, which maybe is a local quirk, for whatever reason is extra attentive to my needs, medication refills take just a few minutes, they’ll call to remind me about things and regularly contact my doctor’s office to see if they need to stock anything. It’s been great and I’ll be really sad if it closes.
The kind of people who say this about White culture (tennis, golf, chess, etc) cream themselves over the rich vibrant culture of traditional dress in literally any non-White sport or ritual.

I learned electronics as a kid from a kit that used a water analogy to describe things. The transistor was described as a vane across a large water canal, connected with a hinge to a smaller vane in a smaller water canal, which allowed it to move up and down. So, a small water current in the small canal could cause a large water current in th large canal. Did it fully and accurately describe the gain characteristics of a real transistor ? No, it didnt. But it would be ridiculous to dismiss it entirely as a learning tool because of it. Overall I think the hydraulic analogy is a very good one, it holds up well and it breaks down only in the face of quantum phenomenon. It allows to understand electricity using concepts children are familiar with. All children like to play with water and have some intuitive sense of it. By the time you care about quantum electronics you can also understand the limitations of the analogy.
This looks like an ad for a $40 PDF.
It would be more accurate to say it had no desired path to profitability.

I have friends who interviewed in 1999, and all of them came away with the same view - they did not know how the company would make money. They all poked at this topic, and the founders were explicit they really did not want to sell ads.
Two of them refused to join because they thought it would fail as a result[1].
So while they did end up doing that, it seems very clear they did not want to go that path if they could avoid it.

If you have actual evidence that suggests this is not the case, rather than the random unsupported conjecture that it was "always their goal", i'd love to hear it!

I've not met a single person who says anything but what i just said - it was not always their goal, they had no desire to do it.

For x86 cores this is visible in Agner Fog's instruction performance tables: https://agner.org/optimize/#manuals

This piece reads very nitpicky, and I just don't identify with what it's saying. My use of passkeys in Safari on Apple platforms has been basically seamless.

I guess if you use tons of different browsers on tons of different platforms and want to work in hardware tokens, it's a pain, but most people aren't doing that.

The problems highlighted are real, but they don't rise to the level of "Passkeys aren't usable security". For users that would have otherwise not opted into 2FA at all (or don't know how to set up TOTP), passkeys are fine. I'm sure there are some warts to iron out, but they have to be evaluated within the context of the practical alternatives, not the context of the author's own personal security priorities.

So you hate all modern democracies actually and it has nothing to do with the EU. Thank you that makes things a lot more clear.

It can be exactly the same for MEP. Countries are free to use a per region vote if they want. Turn out the UK chose to have national lists but France had 8 regional zones until 2018. It was entirely a UK decision.

Plus all MEP’s votes are public and easy to consult and they all have an address you can write to. The fact that people don’t even bother remembering how they are called is not per se a deficit of democracy in the EU.

There’s an argument to be made that maybe the number of jobs in the fast food sector has decreased. But that’s also a myopic view since we need to know the labor situation statewide. Someone not in a fast food job might have found employment elsewhere which isn’t a bad thing, especially since the workers who do have those jobs are being paid a livable wage.
