I think the bigger point is there are a lot of young people making really decent money on TikTok. (I know a few of them.) The result is a lot of push back from a lot of people who are effectively loosing their jobs. This is probably more clear to politicians now than it was a year ago, since the actual “threat” of the situation set in for more people.
To be fair in C they don't put semicolon on its own line either.
I imagine shutting down ByteDance is not like flipping a switch. They have a mountain of infrastructure and “shutting down” could mean nuking the data or otherwise getting it out of their cloud entirely. If it has to be done by a certain date you’d need to start nuking things well in advance to be absolutely certain you’re in compliance by the deadline. I’m surprised the shutdown happened as late as it did if this wasn’t a completely staged crisis.

Convenience kills. I think every sane individual in the world knows the article speaks the truth, and I think everyone wants this to happen. But corporations are not individuals, corps are their own life-form, and even though humans make up the corp, the corp is not human, it is not even inhumane, it is a whole different thing, and the humans that operate it has very little influence on it.

So, as far as a corp can understand anything, it can't understand this human article. I don't know if one can write articles that a corp can understand, maybe it cannot understand medium in the same way we can.. It seems to act based on information it sees in "markets" and "consumer behaviour", and we don't yet know how to write an article with those (even if "vote with your money" was once believed to be it, until we discovered that mankind as a whole is not an individual that can make a decision)
All very reminiscent of the ‘no-deal Brexit’ era; EU officials had difficulty believing, or coping with, the sheer level of apparent unawareness of the consequences of such an outcome amongst British politicians (the _civil service_ knew, and produced some fairly terrifying contingency plans, but the MPs largely seemed happy enough to walk blindfolded off a cliff).

That's simply not true. That example should tell you that, if anything, a good part of their motivation was a healthy sense of self preservation. This is by the way what we're literally seeing play out in the US right now. Tim Cook, Zuck, all the other rich guys chipped in for the inauguration to signal their deference. Because they know Trump and Musk would remember if they didn't.
Sure, but Trump will have the threat to enforce this law hanging over any of these companies for his entire term. That’s a terrible position to put yourself in. I just can’t believe any of these companies are stupid enough to trust him.

I've embedded Rhai in Glicol to support sample-level audio synthesis, and the performance is [acceptable]. Real-time audio is very computationally intensive, after all.

I've tried various embedded scripting languages in Rust, but Rhai probably has the best documentation and playground.

College is for the paperwork. Learning happens in the field. Don't spend more time in college than you have to, to get the paper. Each year of experience is far more valuable than a year of college would ever be.

Changing your major from computer science to computer engineering may be worthwhile, but with either major, a masters degree has effectively no more value than a bachelors, unless you work for a bureaucracy where the extra paper automatically increases your pay, regardless of how productive you are.

Well, they DID remove expected performance by slowing CPU performance, disn't they?

False. Even good jobs with American companies and what not are subject to ridiculous tax problems in the UK. You give you employees equity but then they have to raise vast sums of capital just to hold on to it to afford their taxes when there is virtually no real liquidity pre IPO.

It's anti success. And there is garbage everywhere, people keep voting for antisocial housing and bad cultures. It's a failing state.

TL;DR: the precision of your time source won't matter much since thread scheduling gets in the way, one general solution is to apply some sort of noise filter to remove jitter
You've got the wrong end of this one.

UK has long pursued a strategy of "social mobility", which is shorthand for: some places will be shit, and if you're hardworking or clever you can and should leave.

So the bright, capable people from white working-class towns either joined the middle classes or skipped the country entirely a generation or two ago.

Leaving behind a bunch of people for whom no wage will tempt them to London to do the hard, menial work needed to keep the city running. So on that front we have no choice but to import.

The people left behind either have caring responsibilities that means they can't move, long term health problems and disabilities, or just lack the basic work ethic, motivation and so on to get on in life.

Ultimately who's going to mop the floors at City banks and so on? It won't be the bright, ambitious kids of second and third generation immigrant families, not if they can at all help it, nor the sons and daughters of white middle classes, whether that's metropolitan elites or the trades and services people.

(This, btw, is why immigrants are generally hard working: "people willing to relocate their lives halfway around the world to an often hostile culture where they'll never truly be at home" is a strong filter for people with drive and motivation. Those lacking it stay home, regardless of which host and guest culture we're talking about).

Even if you think this is about protectionism rather than state sponsored espionage (I don't think many would agree with you) your comment makes little sense. Because if you wanted to enforce that kind of protectionism you would still do it under the guise of privacy or security. Meaning you would simply impose such laws that would make it impossible for TikTok to operate, while at the same time being good for privacy.

1. wayland is super usable right now and has been for at least a number of years so your statement is mostly a lie. Only thing missing right now are color management and HDR. This impact a small portion of the users who can still fallback to xorg.

2. we are free not to use it. Distributions made it a default choice only recently and you can still install and run xorg, and will so for pretty much as long as you want, especially as some distros are targeted at people not liking the mainstream choices.

> Not to mention many projects refusing to add configurability and accessibility, citing vague maintainibility concerns or ideological opposition.

You are still free to use whatever desktop you want or patch your kernel. You have the source and the rights to do whatever you want with it.

> Another blatant example is the 6.7 kernel merging anti-user "features" in AMDGPU... previously you could lower your power limits as much as you wanted, now you have to use a patched kernel to lower your PL below -10%...

I don't think putting safeguards in a GPU driver to make sure users don't fry their expensive GPU inadvertently is an attempt against your freedom. The kernel and gpu driver are still under an open source license that expressly permit you to do the modifications you want.

> Everywhere you go, you can find these user- and tinkerer-hostile decisions.

What is more tinkerable than having the source available and the right to modify them and do whatever you want with it?

I think you are mistaking user and tinkerer-hostile decisions with your and users excessive entitlement mentality. Developers have finite resources and can't possibly agree and accept all users suggestions and desires, and have to put limits on the scope of their projects so they can maintain it, support it and not be overwhelmed by bugs/issues. This is not about freedom.

I know that Houdini (that VFX software used for Dr. Strange portal effects), Marmoset Toolbox (an alternative to Adobe's Substance Painter), and zBrush (a sculpting software) were all perpetual licenses when we bought them. And we chose these softwares specifically because they had perpetual licenses. SaaS vendors want to capture the margin of their power users, which means by necessity they price out casual users of their software.

=> For any software that might be used for hobby or casual use, perpetual licenses target a different market than SaaS offerings.

That's one of the reasons why the Spatial Audio Designer - targeting freelance audio producers and very popular with musicians - sells best with a perpetual license tied to a hardware USB dongle:
https://www.newaudiotechnology.com/products/spatial-audio-de...

In my opinion, USB dongles also help with marketing because you make it easier for your power users / evangelists to borrow out the software to others.
The compromise would be to use non-hobbyist Linux.

I have never spent a weekend fixing a problem. The worst I can remember was when an update early version of Ubuntu broke X Windows and the update had run on multiple machines in a small office so needed to be fixed multiple time, and there was a delay while they fixed the problem IIRC. Still, it was a few hours.

Even now, using Manjaro which is relatively likely to have problems, I have had no major issues so far.

I have not used Macs so cannot compare, but IMO Linux compares very favourably with Windows.

Mac users I know rave about it, but every time they come up with a specific example of why they are better it turns out to be something like functionality other OSes have. Sometimes Macs have the advantage of being preconfigured (e.g. copy and paste between devices required installing software on both and pairing - but a 10 min one off when you buy a new device is acceptable to me).

I think what you're missing is the observation that so very little of that is actually applied in this case. "AI" here is not being treated as an actual science would be. The majority of the papers pumped out of these places are not real concrete research, not submitted to journals, and not peer reviewed works.

I’ve moved away from MacOS for a number of reasons, specificslly the strenghts you highlight I consider weaknesses:

- the oh-so-pretty GUI takes up too much white space, I have little left for actual content. I dont need massive icons with wide spacing since, I need the opposite.

- what is the deal with hiding folders from Finder (like ~/Libraries). Do I honestly need the command line to open this directory?

- every iteration after SnowLeopard I feel their “features” are going backwards and taking away “usability” from me.

- OpenGL stuck on 4.1, Vulkan (Molten) is a 3rd party hack. Seriously?

- its become a case of one step forward, 2 steps backwards.

- I can go on and on, but you get the gist.
Regulations often stem from a particular mindset. However, they also serve to perpetuate that mindset.

As a member of the working class, I find there’s little incentive to build something new or innovate because the effort required to navigate through all the burdensome regulations is overwhelming. On top of that, any additional income I might generate from bringing my ideas or initiatives to market would be taxed at more than 50%. For many people like me, the effort simply isn’t worth it. Instead, we focus our energy on other pursuits, such as family, sports, or friendships.

This shift in focus isn’t inherently bad—a life balanced between family, friends, work, and leisure is often a recipe for happiness. However, societal progress relies heavily on the efforts of a small minority of individuals who are bold (or perhaps crazy) enough to pursue their ideas. When 90% of those individuals are discouraged from taking entrepreneurial risks, society’s capacity for innovation is severely stifled.

In short, it’s clear that excessive regulations and high taxes are holding Europe back from achieving its full potential for growth and innovation.

> He broke election laws.

Allegedly.

It must be noted that

On 2 December, following a court-ordered recount of nearly nine million ballots, the Court validated the results of the first round of elections, certifying Călin Georgescu and Elena-Valerica Lasconi as the candidates for the second round.

The Court emphasized that annulment under Article 52(1) of Law No. 370/2004 requires clear evidence of fraud or irregularities capable of altering the assignment of mandates or candidate rankings, a threshold not met in this case

---

The votes were already re-counted and validate, moreover the court said there are no evidence of large frauds, not enough to justify an annulment, the same court that few days later actually annulled them. Isn't it suspicious to you?

And again: you're trying to move the goalpost here, the court doesn't have to provide evidence, they have to evaluate the evidence, and, by their words, *there is no evidence* of fraud.

In other news, Trump broke elections laws too (allegedly), are the US elections irregular?

In my country at every election turn there are accusations of breaking the election laws, and some irregularities are effectively happening, that does not invalidate the elections.

The will of the people is paramount and the supreme court is a servant of the people, it's not an absolute emperor nor it's their dad.
Author missed that due to low wages in engineering in particular, people will stop study that, because it requires more effort and is more expensive to learn than stacking shelves - that pays very much the same.

It's a problem of class warfare - government hates working class, including the current Labour government - that despises the working class in particular. They don't want ordinary people to develop skills, start businesses. They want them to slave away in foreign big corporations.

The constitution applies to the people of the United States. It's in the first line: "We the people of the United States..."

One of my favorite features of std::chrono (which can be a pain to use, but this part is pretty sweet) is that you don't have to specify the exact time unit, just a generic duration. So, combined with chrono literals, both of these work just like expected:

std::this_thread::sleep_for(10ms); // sleep for 10 milliseconds
std::this_thread::sleep_for(1s); // sleep for one second
std::this_thread::sleep_for(50); // does not work, unit is required by type system

That's such a cool way to do it: instead of forcing you to specify the exact unit in the signature (milliseconds or seconds), you just say that it's a time duration of some kind, and let the user of the API pick the unit. Very neat!
