It is a difficult thing. Because of it's size, the EU often feels unnaccountable to me. Also the news does not focus on who votes for what or what their ideas in the EU are but only focusses on national level. And then the EU makes decisions that I dissagree with and it leaves a bad taste.

On the other hand, I believe the EU has so much potential and is a huge benefit overall

It is gendered, which I suppose some people take issue with?

It is easier to parse and you don't get the abomination that is C function pointers

Why is the author talking about null in the intro, which implied using pointers and thus boxed objects and then running benchmarks on integers? That makes no sense to me.

HMD designs and sells them, Foxconn makes them

It is not modifying the website. It is microsofts browser that shows you stuff above the website....

I think both are absolutely disgusting

I agree it is weird, but in Europe (atleast Belgium but I assume other European countries as well, the commenter here is living in Switserland) a CV generally contains a picture

It depends on how you spec it. Apple charges an arm and a leg for ram/storage upgrades

I think generally in the nordics they use wood a lot. In countries like Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and France wood is not used a lot

It does not really matter if you have a programmable keyboard, you just set the layout to qwerty on your device and then remap on the keyboard

In rust you can do this but they are namespaced with the name of the struct. So you can do Object::fun(obj)

He would owe the tax of he would sell the company. I fail to see how that is relevant? If he simply kept it he would also not owe the 700 mil.

Or, the website could just not track you and thus not require a cookie banner?

Problem is that if you do that, you make the road less safe for everyone else

Historically a lot of progress was made in these areas and what they are able to do is amazing, but I dissagree that it is necessarily harder today.

Many engineers in all disciplines do things that are relatively easy and some of them also do novel things that are hard.

I don't think that is different in software.

I feel they are arguing for home ownership instead of against. If a home is not an investment in the sense that you will get more money out than you put in, why would anyone rent you a building? The only reason people rent out property is because it is an investment.

If you think homes should not be an investment in that way you should argue for home ownership. Everyone owns their home and they do not expect to get more money out then they put in. Just about the same and a place to live

I don't know the fediverse protocol but wouldn't it be really easy to check if a link is part of it?

The Zig compiler gets compiled to WASM. The WASI interpreter runs the WASM binary to compile Zig to C.

Better security for sure. Bitwarden is a massive target while I am not. The chance that bitwarden has a databreach is way bigger than the chance that my server gets hacked. No one cares about my server, I am nobody not worth attacking. As long as I don't leave any big holes that can be found by an untargeted attack (which I won't, I run everything behind a personal VPN) it is safer.

Apple can ask 30% all they want IMO, as long as they allow side loading.

Don't use their app distribution platform? Don't pay their fee. That is how it should work, which is how it does work on android (and yes most companies still use the play store, because it is hard to convince consumers to use another store, but at least the option is there. Also you can not auto update apps installed from outside the play store which also sucks).

My device so I and I alone should determine which software I want to run

I generally buy books that came out recently (but pirate 10+ year old books) and the first thing I do to a new book is crack the DRM so I can just save an EPUB that I can read where I want to read it, when I want to read it.

Also you can make software that does what you need it to do, but feels bad to use because it is not polished because that 20% was not deemed important.

And if you choose for an ad based model, you just have to suck up that some people block ads. It is just that simple, it is part of the model.

Even of you can detect effects of speculative execution it does not necessarily mean that it is unsound, because the program still functions as expected.

It is however not secure in many cases, but I also think that newer implementations do better in this regard so it is probably not a fundamental issue.

And about targeting microcode directly, that would be a new ISA which is not desireable and also decoding instructions is not that big of a deal compared to the rest of the core so it is not worth the hassle of switching ISAs.

It is honestly fascinating to look at the US (and many other countries) college system as a Belgian. Except in few cases (becoming a medical doctor is the only one I can think of but there might be others) you can just study what you want, where you want.

Obviously the US can not do that as some colleges would be overrun by students but it is so foreign to me.

Dns blocking is exactly like that. I don't live australia, but if I go to the piratebay for example with my isp dns I get a message it's blocked. If I change to google or cloudflare dns it works just fine

How would it not make a difference? If you calculate an index at runtime, to get access to the element, in 0 based would be pointer + index. In 1 based it is however pointer + index - 1 clearly there is an extra subtraction there?

In x86 you could probably hide it in the addressing but that does not mean it does not to be computed

Because investors own apple, so apple has to do what investors want. Or more specifically the CEO has to do what investors want otherwise they fire him and find someone else who will do what they want

Someone has to propose it first. Just shooting them for that seems bad.

I agree that we don't just need to do something because fb wants to do it, but it might actually be worth having a discussion over.

> So why not only allow payments in privacy perfect currency if they're so concerned about privacy?

Because perfect is the enemy of good. Mulvad would lose customers and that is not good for Mulvad, nor for the customer.
