> Sanskrit is a formalized version of the Prakrits that people spoke.

Panini, and to some extent, his near-contemporaries formalized Sanskrit. It wasn't formalized before that. Vedic Sanskrit was never formalized. Moreover, the book you cited says, "there are many sutras in the Astadhyayi of Panini which are meaningless unless they have any reference to a living speech".

> Sanskrit and Prakrits are different enough to not be dialects.

From the book, "It has been said in Bharata's Natyashastra that Prakrit and Sanskrit are different branches of one and the same language. In the earliest known forms of Prakrit, there are passages which can easily be translated into Sanskrit by the application of simple phonetic rules."

I agree with what you wrote about Buddha's choice of language.

But my point throughout is that there has to have been a time and a place where what was then considered Sanskrit was spoken by the masses. I'd find it hard to conceive of a situation where the educated classes created a dialect/language for themselves, and only this dialect could carry the name "Sanskrit".
well, running the command gives this:

First, the article notes that the old-style bagels are hard to find now, even in cities like New York with large Jewish populations where they used to be everywhere. Even though they still had people there who preferred them, they were driven out of those markets by a combination of factors arising from the rise of the machine-made bagel. Since "bagel-maker" isn't a career that an artisan can make a living at anymore, for instance, the knowledge of how those old bagels got made doesn't get passed down from one generation to another like it used to. Eventually that knowledge will be lost, and the machine-made bagel will be the only bagel. So it's not a straight case of everyone's better off; if you're one of the people who lives in those markets and prefers the traditional bagel, you're losing it. It's possible to argue that loss is outweighed by the benefit everyone else in the world gets from having access to any kind of bagel at all, but it's definitely a loss.

Disruption in a nutshell.
This is a digital payment scheme that respects the customers privacy, when buying from merchants. The alternative besides a cryptocurrency, would be a prepaid cc you buy with cash in a store, but then VISA knows everything you buy with it, whereas this system the payment provider (the "mint") and merchant are separated. If you directly buy things with SEPA then your bank knows everything you buy. This allows for lawful payments, allows any company to become a mint (no payment monopolies) and is free software so you can make your own wallet client and not have to rely on proprietary software wallet apps.

People can still become a black market escrow, keep creating new merchants and facilitate user to user transactions unless there is some kind of cost or identification required to accept Taler payments, or exchange Taler for bitcoin. US law makers will likely try to prohibit Taler though if any online gambling accepts it as payment, for example Paysafecard had to design a special UIGEA compliant card in order for it not to be able to be plugged into a gambling site to get into the US payments market.

Speaking of bitcoin pretty much every online exchange will start accepting Taler, then they aren't so exposed to banks shutting them down and can trade in any currency.

It all turned out ok, because I could tell there was something wrong, went and got x-rays and eventually got operated on. This was all 20 years ago. Apparently, tall-ish, skinny guys in their early 20ies are one of the highest risk groups for collapsed lungs - the other being older smokers, which sounds more like what you'd expect.

> Wealthy individuals and companies (aka those with most of the money) have a vested interest in having their transactions not easily tracked by the government.

Many may think or assert that, especially based on the trendy anti-government dogma, but I disagree. They have a vested interest in a fair and enforced taxation system. Otherwise they lose effective government and its services, both of which are absolutely essential to their safety and prosperity.
The fork-aware packfiles are bigger, but not as much as you might think. We give up the "best" delta that git can find, but usually there is another one in the same group that is almost as good.

I didn't have any numbers on hand, so I just repacked our git/git network.git with and without the delta-aware code. A stock repack is about 300MB, and the delta-aware one is 400MB.

That sounds like a lot, but the real alternative is not sharing objects at all, which is more like 350GB.

It could go faster, but if we need to buy a new (expensive) network switch that can take a few days to arrive. And as you mention, the datacenter guys are happiest if you give them 3 - 4 days and a work order to do the cross connect.

Building out more vaults (the blocks of 20 storage pods we store data in) is usually about the same if we rush it, but we have a big (multi-petabyte) buffer spinning ready to accept data at anytime. We have a regularly scheduled delivery of pods once per month based on projections, but we have been known to tell our provider to go ahead and build three months worth of pod chassis (everything except for the drives) immediately and ship them to us. We supply the hard drives, so that either comes from our own stashes or we quickly order some more from various sources.
If it only affects acceleration, not that big a deal since the Express trains matter most and only have a few stops.

False positives and false negatives are no fun. I presented with rather obvious signs of colon cancer, but due to my age and lack of family history, my GP misdiagnosed it as irritated hemorrhoids. A year later, I went back to him and he decided he better refer me to a specialist who diagnosed me with a 6cm tumor. Luckily that thoracic surgeon was pretty damn good at his job, and I'm here 10 years later to write this post.

Sometimes medicine is an easy diagnosis, sometimes outliers bite you in the ass...
Maybe technologically, but there have been significant technological advances almost every 100 years that don't look as significant to us because we're way past them. The jump from sailing to steamships doesn't seem that big to us, but in terms of reliability, speed, etc, etc, etc, it was an incredible leap, similar to propellers to jets.

I don't know about culturally. If you plucked a European adult from 1500 and dropped them in the same city in 1600, chances are the Protestant Reformation would have done a pretty big shakeup of their cultural and societal expectations.

Food is weird. Not arguing that there is a difference between 'modern' bagels and 'traditional' bagels, just arguing that the traditional way is perhaps not as traditional as someone might think, and I would guess that 'hundreds' of years isn't in many cases (perhaps not specifically with bagels, I'm not a bagel expert, when I eat them I buy the bag of mini-bagels from Aldi).
> It may be that the disagreement you're encountering is based on your acceptance of the premise that taxes are collected at gunpoint.

Isn't that true, though? I mean, the IRS doesn't send around a tax-person who carries a pistol or rifle or whatever, but the whole system is founded on the idea that "if you don't do what 'society' has agreed is the law, bad things (tm) can and probably will happen to you".

Paying taxes isn't optional in the same way that getting a driver's license is optional. So it's literally true that taxes are collected through the subtle but ultimately real threat of violence. Maybe you won't be executed, maybe you won't be beaten, but you will be made to do things against your will like go to jail.

Sure it's the extreme logical conclusion, but it's also the accurate one if you try not to pay.

In the screenshot, it says that CTL was last modified in March. Judging by the date, I'd guess it has an expiration of 6 months after it is issued. So, it's been nearly 6 months since the daily updates stopped occurring.

Good job! I liked Kid Pix as a kid myself...big part of my childhood.

The other day I was thinking back to my school days when Apple's ImageWriter II's were everywhere, and people used Print Shop (I think?) to make banners all the time. Because of how the printing technology worked -- writing to a continuous stream of paper -- banners were easy to do. We had banners in many of our class rooms, birthday parties, etc. My guess is banners are just not done anymore, and it also seems like many of these kinds of creative tools aren't common place? Do kids even have printers? Anyone with kids care to chime in?

there is likely a point where the decrease in runs_per_hour is offset by the increase in capacity_per_run.

This assumes that the users will still use the service as long as the time_per_run (how long it takes to get from point A to point B) doesn't increase to a point where users choose to travel by different means.

The weapons used in an occupation are vastly different than what you use to initially defeat an opponent. Most occupations are faced with insurgencies equipped with small arms, not 5th generation aircraft.

In Iraq, we had time to spool up production of MRAPs to counter IEDs, and were pretty quick to deploy equipment that would aid in COIN warfare.

But MRAPs would be shit in a real war against a peer grade opponent; too heavy, too slow, confined to roads, poor overall performance.

Ha! Yup, my friend with the collapsed lung was very tall, very skinny, and 21 at the time.

This college clinic also misdiagnosed a pregnancy as "you stopped menstruating because of your low weight" in a friend of mine who came in, literally saying "I think I'm pregnant." (You'd think that would be the first test a college clinic would do!)

In both situations, they figured something was wrong a little while later, and surgery did the trick!

I agree your arguments are reductio ad absurdum. The difference between the government compelling groups to forced speech (release all of your source-code, trade secrets) and fines is that forced speech destroys value. From a societal standpoint, the punishment should scale to the crime. Being forced to open source a companies code is arbitrary and indiscriminate. Why should a company who spent $20 million on their code, who committed a transgression that would be equivalent to a fine of $100k have to open source their entire code base?

My guess is the motivation to force a company to disclose their source code as punishment is coming from a place of thinking that the more harsh the punishment, the more seriously actors will abide by the rules. As it's been proven to be the case in criminal law, the death penalty does nothing to dissuade homicide.

One feature that I'd love to see: the ability to update part of a file (e.g. replace bytes 512-1023 with new content of the same length) and/or append to an existing file! For whatever reason, these cloud storage products are always implemented as either block-based (so you can replace parts of the file) or as file-based (so you can create a hierarchy of files with names and metadata). Why can't I have my cake and eat it??
Its not hard to figure out. All of the indicators point to it being bad.
I'm not sure it's so much feeling like using a food stamp but, in a restaurant with a server, using a coupon is just an awkward transaction. You have to lay it out on the table before the meal to make sure the server knows you have a coupon, i.e. you have to sort of make a big deal about it. (Over and above any issues with the server now suspecting they might get a crappy tip.)

For a more conventional purchase situation, you just hand over the coupon with your credit card and things are taken care of in a very transactional way.
You can also move to Seattle, which has classic hand-rolled, boiled, delicious bagels at one local store.

Having to know the SHA1 in advance would be a show stopper for rclone ( http://rclone.org ) as it uses a streaming model internally (it can stream between cloud providers).

Being able to append to a file in 1 MByte chunks (or larger) would be perfect - that is exactly the way Amazon S3 multipart uploads and google drive multipart uploads work.
Windows dropped the dates because it lasts longer than Office or Visual Studio versions does.

Microsoft makes more money selling new versions of Office and Visual Studio than it does with Windows. So Office and Visual Studio can still go by dates and expire into the near future.

Windows 10 is sort of like Mac OSX, the last version but will keep getting updates. 10.1 will be next followed by 10.2 etc.
It does indeed appear to be so - and it works great if you disable JavaScript. In fact, if anything, it works better if you disable JavaScript, because it doesn't flicker and jump around as it renders. You might almost be forgiven for wondering why it wasn't just exclusively rendered server-side, really, except it'd probably be heretical to conceive of such an antiquated idea.

At SpeedCurve we've built something similar for tracking and understanding the impact on website performance that third party requests can have. It's a big issue for websites when their user experience can be affected by resources that are not even under their control. We've seen websites where over 90% of the requests on a page are made to third parties.

Here's a dashboard showing third party usage for The Guardian over the last 30 days: https://speedcurve.com/demo/thirdparty/1/1/chrome/1/30/39tfn...

Great to see an open source list of domains linked to organizations. We've built our own list as well and we'll look at contributing them to this project.

Well, for example, try/catch don't work asynchronously, so you can't pass it to a callback (or use it in a SignalProducer in RAC). If failure/success is Just Another Value, it works everywhere that values work. That they already use an ADT for nullability it what confuses me - ".None, but with an error" isn't a far off concept from that.

antitypical/Result already provides Result.init(() throws -> T) -> Result<T, E>, so it's easy enough to work around, at least.

The magic variable stuff exists in didSet as well, weird and sketchy to use. Would prefer it to be explicit in all cases.
