Edit: okay, deep fake. That's bad. The title is the problem for me, then.
Sorry, what's the actual problem with users creating fantasy porn? How about they ban all traditional drawings apps and photo / video editing apps, then? Those can also produce nudes. Oh, and browsers also. And text editors.
Where I live, the local government tells us to recycle batteries by taking them to local stores. This despite no store doing recycling anymore because it's unprofitable.
As a result, universities, for example, don't have a way to throw them away. They just say follow the city rule, and pretend it's solved... Because the rule is broken, rare employees who do have a way to recycle them just take them home for everyone.
Somewhere in this city there must be a mountain of fucking batteries that nobody knows how to throw away.
I've used a few dozen languages, and noticed that most modern languages lack libraries. Coming from Python and C++ I often feel it that way. Use whatever niche language and I'll hit the lack of power options like Python's pandas, databases, GUIs, etc.
Clojure's a powerful language, but with the size if its community there's no hope of getting many alternatives on doing SQLs, for example. But, Java interop assures me I can just keep going with clojure, because I can almost always work around library issues with Java. It doesn't even matter if I'm on a mac or ARM or 64bit (looking at you, C#).
You have to read thousands of words past Executive Summary to see what's going on, which eventually turns out to be the usual left-right culture war (aargh...) The worst is that this actual war is hidden in the links.
In other words, the letter stops short of taking side between left and right (although the links clarify it's obviously the former). It even doesn't directly mention such topics at all.
It instead accuses the NixOS platform of having "systemic" problems in "leadership," "structure," etc. etc. I was like, "just say it, you believe in a more progressive the NixOS."
Until then, they only say "bad behaviors," then define bad behaviors with abstract terms using one paragraph. That's shortly after the text uses the metaphor of "missing stairs in a staircase", without explaining what these missing stairs are about.
So abstract, without examples for all this depth of abstraction.
They go on with their "bad behavior", bad behavior, bad behavior, and finally there are links. If you click on the first (?) of these links, you finally see that this one example was about minority presentation in NixOS development. In the rest, you see examples of the usual conservative vs. progressive culture war.
Not the person you wrote to, but TB has native code in C++, so I don't really think the speed will change. The official website also doesn't advertise speed improvements. It argued that Rust is (almost) as fast as the current native C++ part in TB, and that's about it.
How do people even find the legitimate sites for Win apps these days? I mostly can't. Even the legitimate github repos occasionally link to Softforge wtf
To me it seems like these researchers are saying the switch is confusing and complicated. That is not to say that Apple secretly collect data after lying to their users.
The problem with Siri, first example, is more about Apple's (characteristic) terminology garbage. Siri's voice control has nothing to do with Siri's search suggestion, yet they marketed both as Siri. Actually, you can turn them both off, but since the voice control is just called Siri, they confused their users.
That's different from "collecting data even when supposedly disabled.
(Tbf, even if they were better termed, my mom would still manage to confuse herself... mo matter what Apple do, the average user won't be able to turn off anything.)
That said, there's no point trying to convince someone on the internet anyway, and so I don't really know why I wrote this comment.
In February, the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) urged technology companies to adopt memory-safe programming languages like Rust.
My comment is somewhat unfair, but WH is not the right body to make this kind of recommendation.
Debian-variants on cmake. When I install cmake, it installs all libraries' cmake files without the libraries themselves. You read it right. The correct way to do this is to install only the base CMake files (Arch does this, and I guess all other distros). CMake configuration files for libraries should be packaged with the library (not CMake).
Whenever I use CMake, these distros can't show me the supposed error message. They just pretend configuration progressed and stop at random moments because some headers are missing. You see a compiler error, see missing headers, perhaps wonder if your install is outdated. Google it, and find out through Ubuntu SO that it's actually that a package is missing WTF. Without someone writing it on the web for all Debian packages, maybe you'd have never understood what's wrong!
I don't use Debian for C/C++ development anymore partially because it's so horrible.
Well, I'm such an old ass for preferring X11 still, but fuck NVIDIA anyway.
