>But framing this situation as the fault of victims rather than the fault of bad policy

I see my message hasn't gotten through, so I will repeat it one last time.

You can't change the policy on the spot just because you think it's bad. Therefore as a traveler you must adapt to the policy of the destination country, even if you think it's bad, not the other way around. That's how it works in every democratic country. Go to Germany or anywhere else and start braking laws that you think are bad (and there are plenty of those) and see where that gets you. A friend of mine got 3 fines on his business trip to Germany he swore he's never setting foot there again.

If you dislike the policies of a foreign country, just don't go there, simple. Don't emigrate to a country and then complain about them throwing the book at you when you break a law, because as a non-citizen, nobody will care about your situation. Sad but true.

Yeah as an immigrant this sucks, but this is how the world works everywhere. Until you become a naturalized citizen, you have to adapt to the host country's stupid laws to the T as you're always more vulnerable than the citizens.

Maybe I'm just pointing out the world is full of crap ports but it's the exclusives that sell consoles, not the hardware specs... did I really have to spell it out?
- "Do you have examples of the executive doing this to citizens or are you being hypothetical here?"

"Do you have examples of this severity-11 CVE being used in the wild, or are you just being hypothetical here?" It's a horrifically exploitable bug, were it left unpatched.

It's not some fringe conspiracy theory that this is how the law works and how the law would work on contact with US citizens; the Garcia SCOTUS concurrence explicitly underscored this perversity,

- "The Government’s argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens [sic!], without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene... That view refutes itself."

This unfortunatey highlights an assymetry between the two parties. The Republicans want to delay and disrupt, the Democrats want to keep things running. Shutting down the government works for Red team because that's their goal. If Dems start to throw spanners into the works, that will just add to all the spanners the Republicans are already throwing into the works.
Thanks!

The slow startup times have usually been an xdg-desktop-portal issue for me in the past, might be worth looking into.
To my knowledge Homo Sapiens developed long before writing was used. And there are plenty of tribes who use only oral transmission. I agree with the idea that we are archivists, be it written or oral. With written you can archive much more info though.
Your original argument was that an algorithm cannot be bad, and now you are countering my point by arguing that the algorithm is bad if it ignores your rights, is solely responsible for the implemented outcome and doesn’t include any input for human review or appeal.

Funny enough I read not that long ago about a case where an algorithm broke all those three points! Can’t remember where of the top of my mind, I think it was the Louisiana Prison board or something like that.

But never mind that, you are arguing against yourself so I’ll kindly step aside and let you at you.
How does the update process work? Do you run pacman -Syu and then bake the result into the next image with mkiso?
It's all about destruction of the useful parts of the US government, the ones that serve the people. The simplest explanation is that Trump is a Russian asset and, as a boss along the lines of Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley, controls a greedy Congress.
> This very well could become more expensive to cancel abruptly when you consider the second and third order effects.

That's the goal. The whole conservative ideology for the past 40 years has been to make the government inefficient so it can complain about government inefficiencies.

What we are seeing is the end game of this idea - turn the government itself into an gigantic inefficient corporation designed to siphon as much money as possible from people.

In this specific situation, these expensive contractors will be replace with even more expensive "AI contractors" that work for companies founded by the Global Elite Tech Bros. So more money spent on on less outcomes. Destroying the system first ensures that there's no direct performance comparisons that can be made between the old expensive, but functional system and the new even more expensive, disfunctional one they created.
Here's the executive branch getting ordered by SCOTUS to bring someone back for doing just that: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62gnzzeg34o

I hate how right you are. We are now the smallest (v1 is on track to be 11.4Kb), have the fastest signal implementation and looking like over 2x faster than idiomorph. So it's the smallest and fastest shim to build real-time apps or simple CRUD. Shocked how much tech world is vibes based but so be it.
As someone else who lived through those days, I have to disagree.

First, JavaScript performance was not an afterthought, it was a big deal.

Second, Chrome's sandbox was massively superior from a security point of view. In a world full of viruses, that was a big deal.

I personally recommended Chrome to family and friends. I did so because I didn't want to be tech support for their virus problems. But what I sold them on was the speed.
Not sure if I would call it an upside but I guess if you destroy everything worth fighting for then maybe people stop fighting? If you then execute anyone still willing to persist I guess you can claim victory. This is how you win the internet, just come up with one of the most extreme and cynical responses possible.

The role of the media (including social media) is to move in lockstep with US domestic and foreign policy. This has been known for some time [1]. It's never as simple as the White House calling up Mark Zuckerberg and saying "hey, silence X". It's about a series of filters that decides who is in the media and who has their thumb on the algorithmic scales, as per the famous Noam Chomsky Andrew Marr interview [2] ("What I'm saying is if you believed something different, you wouldn't be sitting where you're sitting").

Noam Chomsky is a national treasure.

When a former Netanyahu adviser and Israeli embassy staffer seemingly has the power to suppress pro-Palestinian speech on Meta platforms [3], nobody should be surprised.

If you're a US citizen who is a journalist critical of a key US ally, that ally is allowed to assassinate you without any objection of repercussions [4].

This is also why Tiktok originally got banned in a bipartisan fashion: the Apartheid Defense League director Jonathon Goldblatt said (in leaked audio) "we have a Tiktok problem" [5] and weeks later it was banned. Tiktok simply suppresses pro-Palestinian speech less than other platforms.

> Human Rights Watch also found repeated inaccurate application of the “adult nudity and sexual activity” policy for content related to Palestine. In every one of the cases, we reviewed where this policy was invoked, the content included images of dead Palestinians over ruins in Gaza that were clothed, not naked. For example, multiple users reported their Instagram stories being removed under this policy when they posted the same image of a Palestinian father in Gaza who was killed while he was holding his clothed daughter, who was also killed.

> While “hate speech,” “bullying and harassment,” and “violence and incitement” policies[74] were less commonly invoked in the cases Human Rights Watch documented, the handful of cases where they were applied stood out as erroneous. For example, a Facebook user post that said, “How can anyone justify supporting the killing of babies and innocent civilians…” was removed under Community Standards on “bullying and harassment.”[75] Another user posted an image on Instagram of a dead child in a hospital in Gaza with the comment, “Israel bombs the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City killing over 500…” which was removed under Community Guidelines on “violence and incitement.”[76]
> That’s why the level of political opposition is currently at “let’s all wear matching ties to show our disapproval of this political development that will absolutely make us tons and tons of money but which we need to look like we oppose”

Don't forget the "let's all hold little signs up and make frowny faces" strategy from actual elected Democrat Congresspeople. What a joke!
Yes, and article starts out by definining manufacture as "assembly using more advanced tools than a screwdriver". They solder. Good for them. They keep mentioning that their resistors are made in the US. That's great, but not unique to them.

They don't manufacture their important components. Not even Apple does that. No one does. There is roughly zero chance that any of the non-interchangable bits, the SoC, the battery or the screen, is manufactured in the US.

And there is nothing wrong with that. It's just silly to pretend otherwise.

I'm on the ad-free tier for Peacock and have honestly considered downgrading because most of what I watch there is live sports, and they have natural breaks in play that the linear broadcast fills with ads, whereas Peacock on the ad-free tier fills with extremely irritating repeating elevator music. It's bad enough that I'd rather see the ads.
The rest of the world has decided that the web is for applications at least as much as it is for documents.
I think, at least as the creator, I've seen the "fight" be MPA vs SPA. IMO, both are wrong. It's about state management. MOST state lives in the backend but you still need fine grain reactivity on the frontend. On the number line between React and HTMX; Datastar is complex :)

I disagree.

I imagine China will export more to the rest of the world. The US was only 15% of Chinese exports.
The thing that sets us apart from other animals is that we're able to control fire.

By a strict definition of writing (e.g. what we're doing now), people have only been able to write for a few thousand years, and much of the adult population was illiterate until recently. Define it widely enough (visual communication of information), and some other animals (e.g. tigers) also "write": https://animalresearcher.com/why-do-tigers-scrape-trees-at-s...

You could reasonably argue though, that we have passed on information over long periods of time orally, e.g. in epic poems, and that (as far as we know) no other animal does that.
I’d say it’s your own bias that sees it as an attack on cancel culture, as opposed to a commentary on the sad state of extremism and intolerance that leads us into hard-left then hard-right swings (and back and forth).

As you note, USA has always had minority rule, by design.

What's different today is one faction has a lock on power. Just like how conservative Democrats had single party rule in the southern states, up until the Civil Rights Era.

What's old is new again.

--

The correct answer is majoritarian rule. There's no shortage of ideas for reform to get us there. The John Lewis Voting Right Act would be a good start.

Just know that any movement will have to arrise from outside of the two party system. The Democratic Party, such as it is, will not and cannot fix this problem. That's just not what political parties do. The parties get candidates elected. They (eg DNC) don't do policy, don't build movements.
It in no way replaces triangles, and very few will use it for good reason.

Why?

In many cases modern renders use triangles only a few pixels in size, you won't see C1 discontinuity at that size.

All the outer edges of quad still have C1 discontinuity between other quads, all it fixes is the internal diagonal

It has performance & complexity overhead
>If that were the case, then you would expect isolated groups of humans who never developed a writing system to be significantly different from "homo archivum", but we know that's not true.

I'm not sure I understand why this would necessarily be what you would expect. I would say it's entirely the other way around. If we have some sort of favorable evolutionary circumstances that predispose us to turn into archivists, that might be at the frontier of the outer limits of the capability we're able to reach, so it might only show up in certain pockets or subsets of our overall population. Getting there would still hinge on favorable probabilities and circumstances that might only obtain in a small percentage of cases.

As for Socrates, I must confess I am rather smitten with him as a historical figure and as a philosopher, but for the many great things that Socrates is, I don't think he's a reliable authority for the evolutionary history of humanity writ large. I suspect that you're entirely right that oral traditions are more emotionally resonant and powerful than written traditions. But don't think there's any logical fallacy or contradiction in supposing that nevertheless a written tradition could emerge in parallel with oral traditions.

I suppose I do agree with your end point though, which is that I'm not sure that a disposition towards the writing can be pointed to as like a singular thing that's at the essence of what it is to be human. In fact, I would say that that very question is kind of romanticized and abstract in a way that doesn't make clear contact with our scientific understanding and therefore is kind of a malformed question. But I don't have to agree with that form of question to nevertheless believe that our capability to put language into a written form had rather transcendent consequences for us as a species.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

You seem to be indicating that the US actions were bad.

But after those actions, that's what many people wanted after simply reading/listening to some words.

Even if you say what the US is disseminating is not "true" (or misleading), it is debatable that truth matters more than the people's "preferences".

And it's debatable that other country's preferences matter more than the US people's. What's wrong with the US spreading it's view of morality (such as human rights)?

The US is the greatest country in the world. I learned that in school and don't need to worry about whether it's true. Now and when the time comes, I will be a good citizen.
Pivoting before you raise is great. Pivoting after you raise is less great; if you're effectively starting from scratch (for a definition of "scratch" that includes "everything you could do if you just walked away and started a new company with a clean cap table"), it's costing you to be doing that with investors already signed on.

When i started dabbling in python back in the day, and when i had a need for cgi-bin sort of functionality (for simple web front-end), i think it was the sunsetting of popularity of python cgi, and more of the rise of WSGI...so there was less blog posts out there showing best practices around cgi, and more on wsgi...and to me it often felt like i was doing more unnecessary work via wsgi...but then, maybe i'm old and stodgy, and came from the php world prior to dabbling python? Then again, even though i feel i am more mentally sharper now than my younger self...it sure feels like back in the day i was able to be more productive sooner...and nowadays there's just so much setup and harnesses to begin with.

Another reason why TikTok has to come under US ownership. How else are we going to censor things when they are under China’s (lack of) control?
The big legacy news organisations would be legacy media.

Social media is not even 20 years old but it’s a tall order to deny it mainstream status since the younger generations get their news from scrolling TikTok and not cracking open the daily broadsheet.

Legacy media has been sourcing from Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit for years. They’re as mainstream as AP and Reuters but without the reputation or the credentials.

> Most code and algorithms cannot be trivially ported to the SPE.

Having never worked on SPE coding, but having heard lots about interesting aspects, like manual cache management, I was very interested to read more.

> C++ virtual functions and methods will not work out of the box. C++ encourages dynamic allocation of objects but these can point to anywhere in main memory. You would need to map pointer addresses from PPE to SPE to even attempt running a normal c++ program on the SPE.

Ah. These are schoolboy errors in games programming (comparing even with the previous 2 generations of the same system).

I think the entire industry shifted away from teaching/learning/knowing/implementing those practices de rigeur, so I'm absolutely not criticising the OP -- I was taught the same way around this time.

But my reading of the article is now that it highlights a then-building and now-ubiquitous software industry failing, almost as much as a hardware issue (the PS3 did have issues, even if you were allocating in a structured way and not trying to run virtual functions on SPEs).
