It's a way to gloss over or redirect flaws. Apparently, it's a super political term from the search results I get when trying to find references to where the construct came from.
In the context of e.g. an authoritarian country, the leader is infallible, so therefore any problems the citizens experience must be because the people under the leader failed to properly execute the leaders vision. It can't be that the leader's vision was just wrong.
We've already got amber alerts here, have for nearly a decade, except for some stupid reason the government did an exclusivity deal with Facebook so you only get them if you use their app.
If ghosts are dead people, with the passing of time there should be more ghosts and be easier to spot.
One estimate I can see of the total cumulative human population is about 100 billion people, if there was just a 1% chance of becoming a ghost when you die there should still be about a billion of them on Earth currently.
Imagine if 1 in 9 people on Earth was actually a ghost.
Some newer radiation hardened stuff is 10x larger than that, older gear even more so. But that just reduces the risk, not sure it's possible to negate it entirely.
An easier way is to just include more CPUs as part of the system, run them in lockstep, then compare the results by majority rule. If 2/3 CPUs say one answer and the third says something else, you discard the result of the third and go with the other CPUs.
And also, JSON was intended as a data serialisation format, and it's not like computers actually get value from the comments, they're just wasted space.
People went on to use JSON for human readable configuration files, and instantly wanted to add comments, rather than reconsider their choice because the truth is that JSON isn't a good configuration format.
This isn't sending your packets anywhere but their closest datacenter, not sure I'd trust MS (Or rather, Cloudflare) with your porn rather than your ISP who you're actually paying.
The original use case for this stuff was unencrypted HTTP with a public WiFi connection, in which case your ISP is the owners of whatever shop you're in and yeah they could see everything.
If you're at home or whatever it offers effectively no benefits, doesn't "block trackers" or whatever nonsense like Nord claims, but I don't think Microsoft ever claimed that it did.
Seems like we need to switch to URLs that contain the SHA256 of the page they’re linking to, so we can tell if anything has changed since the link was created.
It's mostly a tooling issue, so they really could, but I still doubt it.
I remember installing conflicting mods with Fallout 3, and you just had to run a tool to examine the mods and merge the changes together (and warn you if they genuinely conflicted). It was like a 1 click process and I'm amazed it hasn't been moved into the engine itself.
Much in the same way that laws don't prevent crime, a project banning AI contributions doesn't stop people from trying to sneak in LLM slop, it instead lets the project ban them without argument.
In Australia and most other jurisdictions an “e-bike” is defined by law as a bike with pedal assist up to 25km/h.
I'm pretty sure they're intentionally conflating them to either downplay the risks of unregulated electric motorcycles, or as some odd kind of anti-bike push, depending on the person making the argument.
The news is constantly bemoaning the dangers of e-bikes, while actually talking about motorcycles, too many times for it to be accidental.
Compared to e.g. pushing a button in VS code and having your browser pop up with a pre-filled in github PR page? It's clunky, but that doesn't mean it's not useful.
For starters it's entirely decentralised, a single email address is all you need to commit to anything, regardless of where and how it's hosted. There was actually an article on lobsters recently that I thought was quite neat, how the combination of a patch-based workflow and email allows for entirely offline development, something that's simply not possible with things like github or codeberg.
The fact that you can "send" an email without actually sending it means you can queue the patch submissions up offline and then send them whenever you're ready, along with downloading the replies.
Sourcehut uses it, it's actually the only way to interact with repos hosted on it.
It definitely feels outdated, yet it's also how git is designed to work well with. Like git makes it really easy to re-write commit history, while also warning you not to force push re-written history to a public repo (Like e.g. a PR), that's because none of that is an issue with the email workflow, where each email is always an entirely isolated new commit.
