Just a few days ago Spain is still in riot mode. The next protest is going to be on 31th October apparently.

This is gonna add fuel to the fire, and as I lived in East Asia (Hong Kong to be specific) I'm kind of curious why it all happened around the eurozone lately.

France, Albania, Belgium, Spain, Greece, UK and Serbia recently (although it is not eurozone but closely related anyway as part of the great Balkans). What's left? Germany and Poland I guess?

Anyhow it really reminds me of the First World War

I still have no idea why Raspberry Pi is still supporting broadcom who is still very hostile to Linux and open source to this day. No more binary blobs!

So you mean a combine harvester should make you work more, not less?

I love parser combinators so much. Those are possible because parsing itself exhibits monadic structure, it forms transition monoid, of its more well known name as the semiautomaton in the world of CS.

As someone who's in it's late 20s now, I always thought the idea of selling IOUs, debts, loans and invoices for cash is batshit crazy to me to be honest.

I never knew my loan and others loan could be packaged together as a financial product, the most famous one being the Mortgage backed securities (MBS), and then repackaged with other MBSes together to make a tranches of debts/loan known as Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO).

Both MBS and CDO, plus Gaussian Copula that is being used to price CDO, not realizing the implied volatility is actually higher than expected that poisoned the whole scheme, contributed heavily into the unwinding of the 2008 Great Financial Crisis and is what killed Lehman Brothers, and set the powder keg to detonate the Eurodollar crisis 3 years later.

Yet it has been 20 years. 20 fucking years. The banks and the governments around the world hasn't fucking changed. Those CDO money ended up in private credit and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) which both of them is in its pending doom.

I can't fathom to imagine how fucked would this financial tsunami would be.

Reverse engineering dynamic dispatches like vtable and fat pointers/slices and traits would be hell. Different padding and compiler settings also contribute a lot.

One of the few problem is that the decompiler is not always reliable. That forces you to go read the assembly, and it is not apparent to decipher the right kind of feng shui, not even from human before the LLM era. I used to play CTFs and my conclusion is exactly that.

This is extremely apparent when there are self-modifying code (e.g. JIT) is involved. You need a stepping debugger to read the right control flow, because the code will diverge based on the instruction pointer and regions you jumped into. At this point static analysis like IDA and Ghidra stopped working.

IANAL but unfortunately the law isn't really in Nitter's favor, as Elon could easily win the fight that Nitter can be considered as a read-only scrapping mirror, which itself makes total sense why Elon tries to C&D it since it is a loophole for other AI companies, probably especially OpenAI, to read the feeds for free.

tl;dr Elon's ground can easily be that there is an official paid service that let's you read the feeds unrestricted (this will be a good counter-challenge however IMO) while Nitter tried to run around it. So the First Amendment defense from Nitter should be shit outta luck

I really hope IRC supports WebSocket transport

Pretty much soon. Nuvia's design has been incorporated into 8 Elite and X Elite/Plus series. It was generational leaps ahead of 8 Gen 3, where 8 Elite is already close to Apple M1.

I'm looking for a cheap 8 Elite phone to root it and run a special kernel module that let me run LXC containers and run arbitrary Linux ARM64 program. And run a couple of services on it, maybe I can port Kubernetes whatsoever

MongoDB is a natural choice if you are working with denormalized deeply hierarchical data structure like JSON. It is also natural to JavaScript devs since the shell itself is JavaScript. This makes it super effective on modern web framework although I recently switched to Drizzle

Citus on Postgres used to have similar feature; Dead after Microsoft acquisition
