I've thought about this problem a lot, and come down to the conclusion that that means that this is basically art, as opposed to pure information/an educational resource.

Art is almost always inaccessible to someone because that's part of what constitutes "art". Music is inaccessible to the deaf. Paintings are inaccessible to the blind. Food is inaccessible to those unable to smell.

If the purpose of the thing that you're creating is art, then it is necessarily inaccessible along the dimensions of your artistic freedom. (obviously, intentionally making it inaccessible along other dimensions, such as requiring a verbal test in order to view a painting, is silly, but we're not considering that) That's just what art is. That doesn't mean that you can't strive to make it a bit more accessible (e.g. with readings of content that a screen reader would have a hard time parsing), but merely that you have to acknowledge that (1) there's some parts of your art that certain people will never be able to experience (which is not your fault) and (2) that some things will be economically (in the spiritual sense, e.g. including volunteer time) infeasible to make accessible.

Conversely, if what you're making is meant to be a purely functional resource, then you should probably strive to make it accessible - but the only reason you can do this in the first place is because you've made a value decision to sacrifice aesthetics/art in the name of function.

That's a very long way of saying that I think you're taking a very reasonable position on this.
There are well established hierarchies of evidence in health studies and this study would rank as low quality evidence due to inability to control for other factors. See https://gdt.gradepro.org/app/handbook/handbook.html#h.3183vu... for background.

In studies of pollution and impacts on health, the confounding factors often have a larger impact on the health outcome than the pollutant, such as particulate level, and therefore significant control of confounders is required to estimate any impact on the health outcome. The strong effect in this study is highly suggestive of a confounder rather than a real effect from particles or other pollutants and therefore would require a much better study design to support tacking action at a policy level with an expectation of a huge impact.

Fine to put filters into improve overall air quality but just not with the benefit rationale suggested in this study.

Those are further regulated in other laws, freedom of speech is clearly defined in your Constitution to be unregulated by any laws the government shall pass.

You're saying that is completely fine for the US government to regulate speech of non-citizens, rather surprising to see an American spouting this position but glad to see you clearly stand for it, ironic though it's quite anti-American to believe speech can be curtailed by the government when it fits your wants :)

> Please keep espousing this nonsense: 2028 will be fun.

You seem to be too compromised ideologically to have any rational discussion around this topic. Sad to see Americans subscribing to anti-freedom ideology whole-heartedly but it seems to be the way in 2025.

Not very fun to watch, just quite sad to see that even on this corner of the internet where one expects more leveled discourse to have gone this way.
I remember things differently. Perhaps it was because I was working with older hardware or something I don't know but Windows 2k felt so slow to boot.

I know it isn't a fair comparison since the computer with windows XP was newer and I don't remember the details but I remember thinking windows XP boots faster than 2k.

Fifty years ago, a clever “hacker” (were we even calling them that back then?) using a similar strategy to get free computer time on mainframes at university. He hacked the sign on the usage statistics so that the more time you used, the more you were credited on your balance, rather than having that usage debited from your balance.

> Getting a house like my parents or grandparents had would be impossible, and they weren't rich.

The two main factors for this are: two-person income households up-bidding, making it less affordable for single people/mums/dads, and an unsustainable level of immigration.

> The new government has said they want to sort out the NIMBY stuff and get Britain building again, let's hope they do.

The former factor is just a massive wealth transfer exercise to people who had a house in the 1980s, and is just what we have now - no building can help it any more. The latter is somewhat out-buildable, but our building is not going to hit housing 700k people/year levels. We can't build a city the size of Nottingham every year, and if we did, that would be to maintain the current prices, not to decrease them.

I think I'm misunderstanding something. The post sounds like UB has already been mostly eliminated from recent versions of C++. But to my knowledge even something simple as `INT_MAX + 1` is still UB. Is that false?
That was always the argument for Brexit: removing constraints allows you to move to a better local optimum - and for the right price it is worth it. Mathematically, this is undeniably true.

The counterargument was that the new optimum isn't much better, the price is too high, and arguably even the UK will not be able to manoeuvre itself to that new optimum (like, execute better trade deals, or replace wonky regulation with less wonky ones).

So I guess you are saying (?) Brexit is still a net positive because the potential upside is still there. People like me say that upside is not actually realizable under real world conditions - and so far that seems to hold. You mention free movement, and if anything, UK immigration is more shambolic, not less, compared to pre-Brexit.

I guess it is hard to know. Is colonising Mars merely an engineering problem or major challenge to science? I guess either, depending on how you look at it.

There is actually an interesting niche that one can carve out when dealing with an attacker who has a memory corruption primitive but this paper is a bit too simple to explore that space. Preventing RCE is too broad of a goal; attackers on the platforms listed continue to bypass implementations of the mitigations presented and achieve some form of RCE. The paper suggests these are because of implementation issues, and some are clearly bugs in the implementation, but many are actually completely novel and unaddressed workarounds that require a redesign of the mitigation itself. For example, “heap isolation” can be done by moving allocations away from each other such that a linear overflow will run into a guard page and trap. Is it an implementation bug or a fundamental problem that an attacker can then poke bytes directly into a target allocation rather than linearly overwriting things? Control flow integrity has been implemented but attackers then find that, in a large application, calling whole functions in a sequence can lead to the results they want. Is this a problem with CFI or that specific implementation of CFI? One of the reasons that memory safety is useful is that it’s a lot easier to agree on what it is and how to achieve it, and with that what security properties it should have. Defining the security properties of mitigations is quite a bit harder. That isn’t to say that they’re not useful, or can’t be analyzed, but generally the result is not actually denial of RCE.

It's a funny one. The average Brit was financially better off with all these Eastern Europeans coming in and doing jobs in short supply. Around me in the UK, most shops, restaurants, preschools and many more establishments are short-staffed. This is also the real reason why migration numbers are off the charts - the vacuum of business needs sucks people in.

And yet the Brits don't seem to want these people. Fine - their country, their right. But instead, free of the yoke of the EU, they got themselves lots of immigrants from far abroad, while doctor and nurse shortages abound.

I guess sometimes it's hard to get the thing you want, and not the consequences of it.
Valkey (The Fork of Redis) built a modern hash table to save memory
Pretty much every young person (in their 20's) that I know outside of work (obviously) either can't get a job, or has an "in-between" job (e.g. temp work). All but one of them have college degrees (albiet not necessarily in the most useful subjects), all of them are either living with their parents, or are heavily funded by them.

They all report more or less the same, hundreds of job applications going out, mostly zero, or only 1-2 responses (but for jobs that they have hundreds of candidates for).

Forget buying a house (which is totally unaffordable), even paying their monthly bills is a challenge.

Seems like with AI (for a lot of white collar jobs at least), this isn't going to get better. Governments might have to start thinking about UBI ...
I've read 1984 as a poorly-drawn frame story meant to convey* Orwell's sincere argument, in the form of Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, which baldly states that even without colonialism in the picture, you ("the Middle") probably will still have to live with the extremely corrupt rich locals ("the High") and the poor mob who are easily misled ("the Low"), etc. etc.

I feel like you have at least missed two other very significant factors: low interest rates and increased borrowing limits for mortgages driving up the amount people are able to afford and the fact that councils almost completely stopped building houses since the 70s/80s.

> Poor states are exploited.

Politicians and oligarchs of poor EU states intercept all EU funding and defraud the funding. Most ordinary folks get nothing, pay high taxes, see everywhere "funded by EU" and wonder "where all my taxes go?!". Without EU poor states can create Slavosphere or Balkanosphere. Their politicians with oligarchs will go full Belarus or even start wars again.
As someone living in SE London and having traveled to many places around the world, I’m not sure I can agree with the “significantly lower quality of life” part, although of course YMMV as to what you are looking for. London has its share of problems like anywhere else, and I would say things are in some ways not as good as they were (could just be me getting old) but it is still on balance a very privileged place to live in terms of access to work, facilities, entertainment, food options etc. I have not seen many places that can compare, let alone be better for my needs.
I am working with a colleague of mine on Handout Generator (https://handouts.cthulhuarchitect.com) which is a website you can use to create fake documents and handouts to be used in different TTRPG, especially investigative ones like Call of Cthulhu.

> The USA is not a democracy. The USA is a larger republic of a union of republics.

"The USA is a democracy" is a perfectly valid and correct statement. "No, it's a republic" is kind of a nonsensical retort, and I'm not sure how it got so popular.

There literally are no democracies which do not have representative elements, and "constitutional republic" and "constitutional monarchy" are concepts that are both perfectly compatible with the separate concept of democracy.

> completely excluded from their social circles. If it does, then I'd argue those weren't their friends to begin with.

I believe you underestimate the power of being "in". Even if the friends wouldn't be "true", it is still extremely valuable socially. That is, speaking as someone who, due to unrelated reasons, was prevented from fitting in fully. It may not hold much water from a stranger on the internet, but i would've given anything to be able to fit in more at that time. I believe it has set me back socially 3-5 years, with lasting consequences which I may never truly heal.

> Second, kids need to learn that social acceptance doesn't mean they have to do everything their friends are doing

Sure, but they won't learn that when you prevent them from participating activities with their friends. This isn't them deciding that they don't want to participate in something.

> Third, the long-term benefits of reducing their exposure to social media are outweighed by the short-term benefits of the instant gratification and shared experience of social media.

Attention spans can be fixed.

And besides, you shouldn't control any child like that. You might say "they will thank me in the future". But they never will. And the damage done by controlling their life like that is more lasting. Their relationship with authority, with you, with their own autonomy will be forever changed. (Speaking as figurative you, I don't mean to imply you specifically) This teaches them "You don't have a right to own things the authority doesn't want you to own" (Or it teaches them how to lie and hide contraband.)

Shitty websites make all their money from ads. That's why the page is stuffed full of ads. If you don't see the ads, they don't make any money from you, which isn't a big deal until nobody sees the ads and the site makes no money and goes bankrupt (as they rightfully should).

And before anyone says anything about poor little indie websites needing money to survive: fandom is not one. Fandom is an advertising business. They're in the business of maximizing revenue by showing you as many ads as possible, not just a few to support their server costs, and businesses like this should be treated with extreme prejudice.
> The two main factors for this are: two-person income households up-bidding, making it less affordable for single people/mums/dads, and an unsustainable level of immigration.

No, the one main factor is lack of new housing, mainly due to the green belt.

On the supply side, natural population growth due to reproduction is surely a bigger driver than immigration. Unless you want some sort of dystopian mass sterilisation policy, or simple a mass slaughter of young people, the only solution is to build more houses.

Government policy is unfortunately concentrated on giving first time buyers access to bigger mortgages, but of course this is just going to drive up prices. In a free market, that would incentivise house builders to build more houses, but with no land to build them on there's no way for that to happen.
The problem here is that these don’t actually solve the problems that attackers use to exploit software written in C++. Nobody cares what constexpr code can’t UB (I thought it already couldn’t…?). Attackers will take your object and double free it and there’s nothing in here that will stop them from doing that. Fixing this in C++ is actually very difficult and unfortunately the committee doesn’t want to do this because it would change the language too much. So we’re only getting the minor improvements, which are nice, but nowhere near what is necessary to “tame UB”.
