Not fully, but making transacting in Bitcoin outright illegal would probably go a long way to making it completely unattractive to 99% of all potential users.

> a foreign company with not one bit of operations in the country.

Borrowing from how tax & law is usually applied for companies trading outside of their incorporated country, at least in many places including the EU: If you have users/customers in a certain country, even if your product is purely software, you can be considered to have operations in that country.
Terrible yes, but given Musk-X-Brazil, at this point the Rubicon of "setting" such standards has already been crossed.

(Even if the result was Musk being humiliated).
VW didn't key components for a long time, but a VW Golf was uninsurable in certain cities in the Netherlands because airbags and navigation units were stolen multiple times per year in some instances. Sometimes the thieves waited just a few weeks until most cars in a neighborhood had replaced the stolen components and made another run...
What is a "mugger"? Does someone who has ever committed a mugging carry that label with them for the rest of their life? If the mugging was committed on a serial killer, is it still morally indefensible in your view?
There’s no warrant protection in this bill. They want to keep a copy of everyone’s data so they can look back at old stuff after the fact.

Even if there was warrant protection, I’d still be against it. People have traditionally had the right to speak to each other without giving a transcript to the police. I think it’s unreasonable to make that illegal.
There's also an ad link at the bottom of every page for a startup school with Musk as a star guest.

You likely work in startups for the opportunity to work on exciting new things, have a high salary with potential for a big pay day which as part of that you accept the stress and the risk.
A lot of people work in government jobs for the stability and consistency of the work, as part of that they accept lower pay than the private sector.
Their work I would argue is far more valuable to society than any startup and should not be devalued by people who have contributed virtually nothing to society by asking them to justify their jobs.
Yes, lets say Guile never really makes as an Elisp replacement, that would be another case, although apparently Guile-Emacs effort was relaunched, lets see.

30 years ago it was another matter, Emacs culture back then was pretty much against the cool features from XEmacs, a bit like GCC versus what made clang exist in first place, in terms of how Stalman would vouch against such features.

In any case, the 1% remark is quite relevant given how many still reach out to Emacs in modern times.
You don't believe this.
For your stance to be correct, it implies we reached peak technological lethality hundreds of years ago. That ignores advancements in nuclear technology, drone technology, biological technology, ballistic technology etc.

People could absolutely kill in prior eras. One of the biggest mass school killings was from the 1800s. That does not mean it isn’t easier in a modern era with more options and more lethal options. To the original point, the biggest mitigation is that people tend to be pro-social, not that technology is inherently benign.
This product should be banned and these guys should be forced to work a year at a textile mill for trying to build it
Clean Code is trying to operate at a layer far more important than efficiency: code maintenance. In the vast majority of cases computers are fast enough that you don't need to worry about efficiency. (part of this is any modern language provides all the common algorithms that are already highly optimized and easier to use than the writing them by hand and so the common places where you would want to worry are already efficient).

Of course error handling and debugging are part of maintenance. However there is a lot more than those two that need to be considered as well.

There is reason to hate Clean Code, but the worst adherents to the rules are still producing far better code than some of the impossible stuff that happened before. "Goto considered harmful" is one of the early steps in fixing all the bad things programmers used to do (and some still do), but you can follow the "rules" of goto considered harmful and still produce really bad code so we need more.
Agreed. This statement sums up the obvious:

To all those devs saying "i tried it and it wasnt perfect the first time, so I gave up", I am reminded of something my father used to say:
"A bad carpenter blames his tools"

So AI not going to answer your question right on its first attempt in many cases. It is forced to make a lot of assumptions based on the limited info you gave it, some of those may not match your individual case. Learn to prompt better and it will work better for you. It is a skill, just like everything else in life.

Imagine going into a job today and saying "i tried google but it didnt give me what I was looking for as the first result, so I dont use google anymore". I just wouldnt hire a dev that couldnt learn to use AI as a tool to get there job done 10x faster. If that is your attitude, 2026 might really be a wake-up call for your new life.
Pathogens evolve:

FWIW: Mutations that cause the pathogen to kill the host quickly often "hurt" the pathogen because it doesn't have a chance to spread to other hosts. Hopefully this illness spreads "slowly enough" that this mutation has a poor chance of surviving.
This principle seems out of touch with most people’s reality: products hardly ever do everything you want and often work against you. If someone has a device that doesn’t do what they want and there’s no setting to change its behavior, replacing it is usually the only practical option. (Or if it’s a problem with an app, they might be able to install a different app.)

If there is a free software license, it’s of no direct use to them. Only software developers care about such things. (There is an indirect effect on what software is available.)
Really interesting, I've never used the Rust version, I can only assume I've used the C implementation indirectly dozens of times if not hundreds, but does anyone know how 1:1 the Rust implementation is?

The one area where C will always beat Rust (at least today) will probably always be portability, C compilers run everywhere, on everything, and to anything... Unless Rust has similar capabilities via LLVM?

Most cryptography experts are probably not experts in quantum computers as well.

We already know the algorithm to break RSA with a quantum computer. We just don't have the hardware yet. Nobody knows when the hardware will be available but a lot of entities are working on it.

It's common in cryptography to mitigate attacks that are known but not feasible without further advances in hardware or algorithms. Nobody wants to wait until an attack is successful. That's why NIST is already working on post-quantum cryptography standardization:

Great and informative article. Also nice to get an explicit mention that this isn't just a subprocess call, but running in the same process.

The only thing I'd would have like to see in added would be calling a function defined in Python from Elixir, instead of only the `Pythonx.eval` example.

The `%{"binary" => binary}` is very telling, but a couple of more and different examples would have been nice.

It's helpful to pop in to Facebook from time to time just to try to understand the insanity going on in the world. I can see the constant flow of misleading content that's driving the seemingly irrational decision-making and I can then understand it. I steel myself against the propaganda as one does, but if I were spending even one hour a day reading that sewage that's pushed at regular people every day, and I believed in even a fraction of it, I would probably make the same insane decisions as them. So it actually reduces the anxiety, a little bit, to at least know where it comes from.
A government run social anything would be the most milquetoast experience, wouldn't it?

This is a preposterous argument, I'm sorry. Should I feel sorry for people who enable Musk's antics? Why? They get paid very well to work for him I'm sure.

I disagree with Musk's antics and as such I'm not going to give him money. What's so difficult to understand about this?

I don't care that in 20 years time he'll be forgotten. We are here and now, and the best way to send him a message that what he is doing is not OK is by hurting his wallet.

The TRO was filed for and granted without DigiCerts input. By the time they responded, both parties filed to vacate the TRO (3 days later). Judges I expect weigh, to the best of their abilities, the perceived harm in granting/not granting the TRO. Considering the technical literacy of our court system I expect that leaves much to be desired

I think that’s true on the very low end, but also on the high end. If the US government didn’t purge most of its software experts in the 90s on the basis that the US would be buying, not building, most of its software then maybe the Obamacare rollout wouldn’t have been bungled so badly. A competent senior software engineer in the room might have been able to prevent a horrible contractor from being hired in the first place, and they might have been able to tell the bureaucrats that they need to relax some of their impossible or impractical requirements.

Not by a long shot. Just a few counterexamples from the top of my head: Destroying currency, altering passports, reproducing copyrighted images.

I'm not saying I'm a fan of even more exceptions of that kind, but I don't think there are any particular inherent rights arising from property ownership beyond from what society agrees on there are (e.g. the first sale doctrine for physical media). That's what makes it even more important to codify these rights.

When I go for labs, I always am notified via txt/email that the results are ready. Every lab I've used has a scale system for a given test along with notes from the lab techs about a particular result.

While this might not be standard everywhere in the world, and probably isn't, if one was concerned about their health and had access to their results themselves, wouldn't you look at them?

This reminds me of the redditors who post questions about mundane government services where it would be quicker to simply call the agency in question and ask.

1. You’re out of the office on extended leave and you don’t have an auto-response set up?

2. You can’t access your email remotely, really?

> Why turn it into a big news story so that they can also log into their email for the first time in 150 years and reply with some BS?

Doge did not turn this into a big news story, news agencies did because they need to stir up shit to get clicks and sell ads. “Worker expected to respond to email” is not a news story to any sane person.

Also wtf are you talking about “log into their email for the first time in 150 years”. What job do you have where you do not need to check email every day? If you haven’t logged into your email in “150 years” we definitely need to can your ass because you are not doing anything.
You've had some pretty shitty tech jobs if you've had to provide a status update jsutifying why you should keep your job, every day for the last 20 years.

The news article we're discussing states only "hemorrhagic fever symptoms".

Which could be "blood from the eyes", or it could be "fever, headache". Is there another source for specific symtoms in this outbreak you're working off?

Someone else in the discussion linked https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/africa/emerging-diseases..., which states:

> The disease affects all ages but with a majority of cases from 5 to 45 years old presenting symptoms such as fever, chills, headaches, myalgia, aches, neck pain, polyarthralgia etc. The first cases were reported on February 9.

And a WHO statement in there:

> Differential diagnosis
under investigation include malaria, viral haemorrhagic
fever, food or water poisoning, typhoid fever, and
meningitis.

DigiCert miss-issued thousands of certs.

Certificate authorities are required by contract (the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements is a contract they agree to when being granted trust as a CA) to revoke miss-issued certificates within 24 hours of the time they learn of the miss-issuance.

One of their customers filed a court case & got a temporary restraining order (TRO) preventing DigiCert from revoking ≈70 of those certs within 24 hours.

DigiCert then proceeded to delay revocation beyond the 24 hour limit *for all the certs, not just the ≈70 that the TRO covered.

That is a violation of the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements. Failure to revoke ≈70 certs because of a court order could be accepted, but failure to revoke thousands of other certs (putting customers at risk) should not be.
Why are College campuses the bane of existence for your friend?

True. But what I said is still true. The tendency exists.

Smart people don’t often know how smart they are and don’t realize how unreadable their code is until code review time and the stupid person points out what the smart person considered “obvious”

There are all of those things. DOGE is not finding them. They aren't even trying to find them. There's a real problem (which is extremely minor, proportionally) that this regime is taking advantage of to take absolute control of the country.
I agree about the too-much-outrage-over-meh-shit problem, and even think it's the defining problem of our age (although, that is just because it is one form of "attention is the most important commodity now" theory — same root cause gives us new measles outbreaks and other self-owns).

But, it is worth noting in this case that the conduct of these 'unidentified, black-shirt' security men was completely illegal in Coeur d’Alene, and subsequently the woman has had all charges against her dropped, while the security company, LEAR Asset Management, has had their license revoked for violating the law.[1]

> This means your are rich, and you can afford the luxury of such mindset.

The people I know that are focusing on "engaging in interesting ideas and creating peace and happiness in the space around [them]" are the "poorest" I know of.

They chose to have a part-time job (if they have one at all), they chose to live a simple life (from Western standards)... to do what they care about.

The only luxury they have is living in a society with enough solidarity to allow them to live this way.
I was originally replying to this comment:

My fundamental aim here was to show the poster, that it's likely not as bad where they are - and since they are a migrant, I assumed that they were likely not in those really bad areas. Intended as a positive message. Sadly, I apparently butchered the delivery of this message, as several people interpreted it completely differently.

FWIW, we bought an Ioniq 5 last spring, live in Michigan, and the lack of a rear wiper has been a non-issue completely. However, and this is a big caveat, I like the rearview camera and never use my rearview mirror as a mirror. Some people prefer the mirror, since the camera display requires you to shift your field of view in a weird way, and if you like the mirror, then the lack of a wiper would be a big deal. For me, I completely forget there is no rear wiper, and actually prefer it now as it makes cleaning snow off a tad bit easier!
The only comment as of this moment that isn't meta dumping on these lists is the following:

> this is cool, thank you deepseek.

While not incredibly substantive, it's at least directionally aligned.

My comment isn't so much about the subject of your post or its content, but rather that it's steered the entire conversation of this thread. Nobody is talking about Deep Seek, or more importantly, the ecosystem that can be built around it.

Shouldn't we expect more community curation of tools and utilities from an organic community like this? Clearly this effort is just getting started, so of course it's off to a rough start. So what?

I'm disappointed to click into this thread and find that the entire conversation is about how bad DeepSeek's list is and how awful these lists are in general. I would have expected people to be talking about different parts of the market, which pieces need to be built, how the tooling works together, etc.

Frankly who fucking cares about these lists anyway? The point is to build open, community-based AI. That's the only thing that matters in the fullness of time.

I'm not angry at you, and I don't think you did anything wrong. I just want to build these open efforts up to their fullest. I'm starting to devote more of my time to it because I want open approaches to win. Whether it's Deep Seek, some other family of models, or the community as a whole.

edit:

There's also the following comment:

> Does the api work again? It has been offline each time I tried it over the last month

So I guess at least we're talking about Deep Seek.
