That's a folk music wave, a conscious soul album, conflated with more pop social commentary. Not much protest songs. Products made out of popular discontent. Now if you said Woody Guthrie... But in pre-war times was there a non-mainstream?

The only thing that this may say is that in USA the regime fights dissent in mainstream media. Like, if you want to catch signs of a product made out of popular discontent, you can't e.g. find in UK charts the Sleaford Mods or Kneecap?

Mainstream protest songs?

If you say "shady" because CEO is a Russian in Dubai and for years nobody really knew how the hell could he sustain the company, yeah you're right.

About the FOSS alternatives you're right, but to use a closed source SaaS is just a choice people make because they are not confident in their own infra.

If it's "shady" because of cybercriminals, I insist in saying that it's the same than using Discord (pedophile rings) or Whatsapp/Meta messenger (extensive history of terrorists, gangs, traffickers of any kind).

In European nations who aren't English-first-language it's quite widespread around university students and people that outgrown Whatsapp, it isn't very much different than using a Discord groupchat (and you lose less important stuff in Telegram). Admittedly a bit is for network effect around "grindset" jocks but it isn't very much different than using discord or Meta messenger or Slack, just a freemium SaaS that the project doesn't support firsthand so if "our server" is down, "theirs" maybe is not. I say they are all the same although Telegram's insecurity is proven, they still are the same overall for a FOSS project.

>You are responsible for testing the code you write, not the one that actually runs.

Hipp worked as a military contractor for battleships, furthermore years later SQLite was under contract under every proto-smartphone company in the USA. Under these constraints you maybe are not responsible to test what the compiler spits out across platforms and different compilers, but doing that makes the project a lot more reliable, makes it sexier for embedded and weapons.

Nah, libxslt is a spinoff of Expat, at the very least (and mozilla mantains its own xslt library) there's a full implementation by the standard writer called Saxon[0]

>The stdlib is so inconsistent this will be a nightmare.

I think that callables will end with being useless in this context and everyone will pipe closures to put that $x wherever the stdlib imposes.

The fact that Holte is a former investment director for a major Norway oil group has to be a mere coincidence.

When you examine an island of critical business development with desperate need for workforce yes, otherwise you will mostly find rent and prices that compromise life conditions. Basic needs aren't a market you can easily disrupt (unless you plan to let a class of slaves or poors be created).

My example was quite vapid, but you shouldn't concentrate on that use-case. Small doesn't always mean "neglectable infos", while scrapers are always stealing CPU time.

The fun and terrible thing about the web is that the "rockstar in temporary distress" trope can be true and can happen when you expect it the least, like, you know, when you receive a HN kiss of death.

You can surely expect that a static content will be static and will not run jpegoptim on a image at any given hit (a dynamic CMS + a sudden visit from ByteDance = your server is DDoSed), but you can't expect that any idiot/idiot hive on this planet will set up a multi-country edge caching servers architecture for a small sized website just in case some blog post will hit a few million visits every ten minutes. That can easily take down a server even for static content.

I concur that Anubis is a poor solution, and yet here we are, the UN it's using it to weather down requests.

>Unfortunately some of the best features of Mesa are not supported at all or only badly supported in most modern languages.

Excluding its epic exception handling system, what would you suggest?

Sometimes it honours in a shitty way licenses like the GPLs, otherwise it's just cheap advertising for the early adopters.

Outage map is down but no blackouts here (NE Italy) atm...

I can understand it, I just hate it. I would prefer confusing dots, a module builtin namespace, rebol backslashes, confusing slashes, anything else.

mhm. I don't understand why a makefile or a redo file is out of the picture.

Yea if you change something in header or footer build speed matters but when the HTML file is done, it's done.

You can bundle everything in a file in most programming languages. You may find it useful (for sysadmin purposes) only with scripting languages, because with compiled ones you generally "bundle" most of the software in the executable file.

Theory says so, facts paint a different picture where CV systems are foiled more often (in good visibility conditions) than the same situation where a human could be foiled with camouflage or trompe-l'oeil.

Something is missing, time will tell if training will produce more solid models.

It's reliable, it conveys messages, but not instant at all.

This is the greatest example of simplistic planning.

Human drivers have two eyes and a brain evolved for storing visual hints.

And LIDAR is not that complicated, too. Just not the simplest thing, that would be rails and pantographs, whatever you would translate those to your vehicle.

Humans can't drive safely in the fog. They can drive safely on a road travelled often even with low visibility by using visual hints they need to "scan" at lower speed. No car taking a cam approach for self-driving is doing that btw.

>The right wing of USA politics claims this but clearly act in opposition to this claim.

Not at all. They just immediately embraced war dynamics. USA conservatives and libertarians (stop referring to right wing and leftism in USA, it makes no sense) view anarchy as their chance to fight for a fief or a monarchy.

EDIT:

>Also, “anarchy” is the most extreme is “leftist” politics.

Not really, it depends on whether you mean Bakunin and Foucault, or Thoreau, Stirner and Rand

It wouldn't be backwards, more like bipartisan. Furthermore, when assimilated by the Democratic party, the "free speech as in anarchy" idea got war dynamics (pragmatism in accepting persons and accepting the unacceptable) in the same way it has always been thought in the Republican side.

Email is a communication system with a lot of moving parts. You can't have reliable IM through existing MX servers but you may have it if for example SMTPs are running on your machine and you poll their data more (it's just an example, I know that with an SMTP running on your phone you'd have more problems).

This is crazy because it's a flatpak, which should be a blob with all its deps in there, like a statically linked application "but better" for other system reasons because e.g. you can sandbox the app by design.

For this reason I don't understand why did they changed the library in there (that build of OBS wasn't broken because of system-wide libs, it was because allegedly they changed the lib in the flatpak), whatever the security hole couldn't they block it "from the outside"?

At the moment conditions for a civil war (be it a real civil war or the historical USA civil war) aren't there, a lot of citizens entitled to 2nd amendment rights aren't exerting their right, a big lump of citizens are happy about the current state of affairs.

>OBS is shipping EOL Qt because of unfixed regressions in newer Qt, Fedora views shipping EOL Qt as unjustifiable neglect and repackaged it with newer Qt, which, as described, breaks things.

Why do they still mingle with sw distributions? Wasn't the sandboxed blob trend born also to try blackbox strategies and have parallel versions without dealing with too much hell? Was that laziness/economical advantage (EOL'd library, no business in porting fixes, upgrade to the latest and greatest) or something else?

MS in fact is good with backwards compatibility only under windows/related software and maybe xbox, those bragging about MS' love of legacy aren't wrong, they are just focused on their almost historical product, what made Microsoft.

We can't say "no big deal" tbf, because for example Office files had fairly good longevity across updates (not perfect, a lot of file broke).

BUT anything else (embedded, cloud, AI, when they poisoned web standards, etc) isn't really under that much lauded backwards compatibility AFAIK.

>I guess the inflection point was PG turning to X to screech about "wokism" in support of oligarchs like Trump and Musk to snap this community out of it's pro-PG trance. Watching a billionaire cheer on the billionaire class as we plummet into technofeudalism is a hell of a wake up call.

In hindsight his (and Andreessen's techno-bullshit) have won a bet with Trump, those tweaker writings are very much aligning with the zeitgeist that's being imposed by Trump, Musk and their lackeys, they may even brag about having get there earlier than every other rich techbro.

Don't get high on your own supply, like zuck doing the conquistador in Kaua'i
