i was responding this claim

> It would be perfectly possible to design a variant of Rust that gets you to 80-90% of Rust's usability, with the same safety, without macros.

i then present an api that i think relies on macros to expose a safe api

> Of course macros are good for encapsulation and abstraction, but that's a different subject.

no it's not. exposing safe abstractions is pretty much rust's raison d'être

If China was serious about a military solution for Taiwan they would be invading right now while the US is unloading into the desert.

Any idea what the % is?

In grid tied inverters with batteries the transfer switch can be built in to the inverter or it can be an external switch. Similar to how you would use one with a generator setup.

And indeed these are uncommon, mostly because they tend to be more serious devices. Victron and formerly Xantrex make nice ones.

There's also a application called deflock that lets you map them easy

Both. The same as for other materials we don't want kids to access, like alcohol. We can't expect parents to always be watching their kids. That's not how societies have ever worked.

But what I'm actually questioning in my comment above is effectiveness of the technology solution proposed at the device level.

Haxe provides a similar syntax to ActionScript, but it was OpenFL built on top of Haxe that provided similar APIs.

There's a process. If the government won't follow it, why should the "illegals?"

Last night, I published a directory of indie blog directories on my (indie) blog.

ramkarthikk had built a directory of indie blogs, which included my blog’s RSS feed, and found my directory of directories post in the directory he had built.

This morning, he emailed me with the story of how he found my post, and asked if I’d consider adding his directory to my directory of directories. His directory was so nice I added it to my directory of directories and posted it here :)

This, I think, it how the indieweb is supposed to work.

Less-so if you do it in Safari than using a non-Apple browser.

thanks, here's another one: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.03276

Wouldn't it be more likely the faulty machines are crashing pretty often.

> Would it be a fair argument to say the police have a better opportunity to prevent crimes if they can enter your house without a warrant?

This is a false equivalency. I don't have to use TikTok DMs if I want E2EE. I don't have a choice about laws that allow the police to violate my rights. I'm not claiming that all E2EE apps should be banned.

> Right, but this is worlds apart from "sharing the encryption key with a private company", is it not?

Exactly why I suggested that as a possible alternative.

There was/is a Home Depot and an Ikea equidistant from every Seattle amzn location. Bezos just though the door desk was "cool", and didn't both to cost compare with Ikea till after many of the door desks had been built. They were undoubtedly stronger than the Ikea equivalent, but that is unlikely to ever have been an issue.

For sure, I'm not blanket supporting age verification technology. Just saying the alternative proposed by the parent commenter isn't very reliable either.

It's 591 lines. Run it or don't.

GP meant Flash Player, not the authoring tool.

They have the same same inconsistencies and incoherencies that I have encounter with LLMs creating SVG. Very different from what a human would have created (and I don't think you have to train your eyes to see it).

I know very little about this space, but wasn't Haxe(https://haxe.org/) supposed to be a sort of next-gen, modern Flash replacement?

x86_64 function arguments in linux are passed in registers RDI, RSI, RDX, RCX, R8, R9. The mnemonic helps remember the order.

Seems fun, I would've loved for this to be a web app though. Given flash is so tied to the web, it would be fitting if the editor itself worked like that

It's the parents responsibility regardless, they own the device and it's their child. This is exactly the correct way to do this, if you must.

If that were true, we would be able to run working agents out of the box on any domain.

We are far from that still, for reliability in most applications you need fine tuning.

For any new modality you need fine tuning

For voice, image and video models you need fine tuning

For continual learning you (often) need fine tuning.

For any domain that is somewhat OOD you need fine tuning.

To fully ground a model you need fine tuning

If it was possible they would have loved to - certainly by 2012 or so, and more likely by 2008-9. The reason I heard they couldn't is that by that time Flash Player was a massive 10+ year old codebase with lots of parts that were licensed or external and nobody had ever tracked which parts would be to be relicensed or rewritten.

Apple threatened to sue Microsoft when Windows 1.0 came out in 1985, but Gates responded by threatening to stop developing software for the Macintosh, pull the Macintosh software Microsoft had already developed from shelves, and refuse to renew Apple's license for Applesoft Basic for the Apple II. Sculley backed down and signed an agreement with Microsoft granting them the right to create derivative works of the Macintosh and Lisa UIs and a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use those derivative works in current and future software. In return all Apple got from Microsoft was a promise to continue supporting Word and Excel on the Mac until October 1986, which they would have done anyway.

This surrender agreement is likely why Microsoft felt confident enough to adopt overlapping windows in Windows 2.0. However, Apple's 1988 lawsuit didn't get dismissed because the judge decided that Windows 1.0 and Windows 2.0 are fundamentally different, and the agreement only covered the aspects of Windows 2.0 that also appear in Windows 1.0. The case ground on for several years before eventually getting dismissed because what Microsoft had licensed from Apple were generic ideas that shouldn't be subject to copyright. For example, Microsoft were free to use a trash can to represent deleted files as long as they didn't use Apple's specific rendering of a trash can.

Vertically upright humanoids have a lot going for them: they don't occupy a lot of floor space, they can pull an object right into their center of gravity to manipulate it, and because they're familiar they're relatively easy to prototype actions for because they're our actions.

People always assett without evidence that humanoid isn't the best design, but there's a paucity of alternatives that don't make some type of tradeoff: humanoid might not be the best at anything, but it's clearly very good at a lot of things.

When HSBC was caught knowingly laundering money for terrorists, cartels, and drug dealers all they had to do was apologize and hand the US government a cut of the action. It really seems less like the action of a justice system and more like a racketeering. Corporations really need to be reined in, but it's hard to find a politician willing to do it when they're all getting their pockets stuffed with corporate cash.

Interesting reading this. It reminds me of my time in cryptocurrency sector. I suspected that some team members were paid by Ethereum folks to sabotage our project. Why do I suspect Ethereum? Because our project founders ended up switching to the Ethereum ecosystem and ignored/suppressed better solutions from their own ecosystem. I think there's something about tech hype which attracts these kinds of people who like to play dirty.
