If enough grannies decide to pirate goods (edit), the effect is the same

I question whether this is a thing that significantly exists in the real world, especially given a number of studies [1] that show "pirates" purchase significantly more media (numbers ranging from 30% to 300%) than non-"pirates". If you have numbers on "losses" that don't come from sources that invent numbers out of whole cloth [2], I'd love to see them.

You can't simply treat an unauthorized copy as a lost sale [3]. And for the sake of pete, stop calling it "theft", or at the very least stop making flawed analogies to physical goods.

>The optimization is present in other languages that did not start with this restriction, but it's too late for C now.

Which?

.NET is the only one I could find that appears to do some from of smart packing [1]

The new hotness languages behave like:

Go doesn't sort by size. It packs to the byte, but guarantees structures within structures will start on the 32/64bit boundary (depending on 32/64bit system) so it'll pad for them.

Rust ignores field size and just aligns to the 32bit boundary, unless you trigger `#[repr(C)]` which will pack like C. Rust doesn't give any guarantees about a structure is laid out to be perfectly honest.

C++, NIM, D.

I can find no reference on Crystal except that you can opt into C behavior. So I don't know what default is.

Yes. This is also why I nudge my kids to try things that require work no matter the ability (say chess, where there are always better players) versus things graded against a narrow peer group (Say math, where once you're "at level" the teacher pays less attention.)

Well, the burden of proof is on the accuser, if people can make the case objectively then of course something should be done and educators themselves should care about the integrity of the knowledge, but it's not as simple as that, to call someone indoctrinated or brainwashed or indocrinator/brainwasher/dishonest is quite a tall call IMO, it's easy to claim, backing it up is another story... The reality I see is that most people just take sides without really reading stuff in depth or don't care at all about politics and that's it, to me that's true for all and I didn't leave school with any defined political positioning, Personally, I don't think state worship is a thing and what I said to the other reply above applies here, too.

Are websites the new vinyl? Native apps on the rise
For people looking for that 70s NYC like experience, with proximity to NYC, I HIGHLY suggest checking out the Albany / Troy area.

Both are gritty little cities with a bunch of interesting people living there doing interesting shit, all for next to nothing. You can rent a townhouse for under a thousand / month. Shit, you can BUY a gorgeous 19th century townhouse for under a 100k - the same thing that would be 3 million in the Brooklyn where Patti Smith and Robert Maplethorpe lived.

I'm not going to go on about how much there is to offer there, because I could do that for paragraphs. You should just go check it out for yourself.

You're right, but "Mobile first" is the way they are describing themselves, it's the phrase used in the jobs link I posted. And I would personally interpret "mobile first" to imply native apps in just about any context, so I think it gets the point across.

That's correct. How would you use Tor to initiate the NAT traversal only, and then go direct? Perhaps using it as a way to advertise ports bound upstream from local NAT?
downtown Detroit is in a weird state right now where it's bounced back enough and gotten enough hype that it's gentrifying, but the development efforts haven't quite finished fast enough to catch up to demand.

My rent from 2013-2015 went up 35% and I eventually moved to a suburb. I tried to buy a place and even when I convinced myself to overpay would be beat out by a better all-cash offer within 24 hours of a place going on sale. It's nuts here right now.

3 years ago it was a great place to move in cheapish and be around a burgeoning scene, right now it's expensive as hell, and in 2 years will probably be back to being able to support that student/new grad/bootstrapping entrepreneur scene. We need more housing to come online, and it's being built, just not done yet.
People seem ok with a lot of awful things. I don't see that as an argument for Markdown.

The question is: has Reddit (or other Markdown users) actually studied Markdown's usability? Even a basic comparative study against a WYSIWYG equivalent?

It seems like "techy" people just kind of assume Markdown is great and easy and awesome without ever bothering to actually make any effort to question that assumption. That's really the part that bugs me most.

And the entire pitch of Markdown is that you can style your text the way you did back when you were using text-only stuff. Ok. So _this should be underlined, then_. And /this should be in italics, right?/ And naturally this is boldfaced. Oh wait. Markdown is ZERO FOR THREE.

(Strangely, Markdown doesn't even have underline. Go figure. It's not even remotely close to feature-parity with the WYSIWYG textboxes we were all using on the web in 2008.)
If 'open source' isn't about having.... I dunno, all your source-code being licensed under an OSS license... then what exactly is it?

I think the word you're having more of an issue with isn't 'open source', but defining what exactly a 'project' is vs. a business. On that latter point, I would agree with you that a project doesn't seem as much of a 'project' when most of the core people are employed to work on it towards specific goals the funders have designated.
There are some new e readers which do both ePub and PDF. A quick search turned up a few like the Nook GlowLight+, and a couple Kobos. Amazon's offerings don't do native ePub, but they (and others) make it trivial to email or upload an ePub and convert it to mobi and deliver to your device.

I can relate with the sentiment on paper books though. It's quite great being able to quickly flip back and forth to several places, or place notes throughout. I've had luck with the highlighting feature on my Kindle, which gives a decent interface for going back and looking at all the things I've highlighted; I've developed the habit of highlighting all the important parts in a book and going back and re-reading just the highlighted bits, which has helped tremendously. Unfortunately, highlighting across pages is rather aggravating.

This idea that cities reach a point of maximum growth, become unaffordable, and should be abandoned by potential newcomers: this is currently true, but it's a broken system, and it's time we look at ways we can improve it.

When a city becomes unaffordable, when rents skyrocket-- those expenses are someone else's windfalls. When people expect the value of real estate to rise and rise indefinitely-- those windfalls are someone else's expenses.

I've come to believe that so much of these structural problems are essentially reducible to issues of land-use (property/land taxes), but there is so little focus at present on reforming this.
Throwing money at open source projects does not in any way inherently "corrupt" them. This false argument needs to end so we can more easily and more fully fund OSS development.

Technically, ZFS never went through a period where people lost data using it. It just kernel paniced when they tried to access their data and besides it was probably their fault for using hardware that was slightly flaky.

> NAT traversal requires a server accessible to both parties, correct?

If both parties are behind a NAT, you need a STUN server to help set up UDP hole punching. STUN servers are cheap to run, as it is a stateless UDP protocol. I imagine a single server could handle tens of millions of concurrent users, or more if the STUN client is not aggressive.

There are enough public STUN servers that I think an open source project could ship with a big list of them and it'd be functional. (The two peers don't need to be using the same STUN server.)

There is also pwnat, which uses a neat trick to connect two parties behind a NAT without a third server necessary.

You're right that it doesn't have to happen at the filesystem level, but going down to block or device level is the wrong direction. Almost all useful metadata is lost by the time you get to the block level.

At the filesystem level, you can specify different redundancy policies for different types of data. You can mirror metadata but not file contents, for example, which is a pretty good policy available in BTRFS that you can't achieve at the block level. You can also do sensible things like mirror across three drives by putting each file on two of the three drives. But there's a better solution.

The better solution is to handle this at a higher level. It's common to want data replicated across machines, at which point block-level redundancy really only sucks up disk space for no benefit. This is how cloud storage works, and it's how you set up an Exchange server these days, et cetera.

RAID and block-level redundancy will still be around (somebody will always need it), but it's a dying technology, at least in the sense that new deployments are using it less and less frequently.
The people who will inevitably say things like "this is just oversensitivity" or "it's an exaggeration to act like a whole city is outside your comfort zone" are either unbelievably thick-skinned or simply live in a relatively insulated, homogenous environment. I'm a straight white married upper-middle-class man and there are decidedly places I feel very uncomfortable in the country (I am thinking of highly conservative small towns in the mountain west in my particular case, where I stand out visually). You might not visit them very often, but those places are real and the feeling of being an outsider is palpable. I can only imagine how much more influential that feeling would be if I were a minority in any way, not to mention one of the minorities it's still nearly de rigueur to overtly discriminate against.
The Bible has much to say about how God sees all people equally, that people should treat each other as family (it even teaches that humanity is the same huge family), and about how people should be as close to God as possible. The Bible wants you to think and realize on your own that slavery is a bad thing.

> It would put every human work to shame.

Are you talking about literary pieces, or everything done by humans? Because it attacks the latter:

Romans 3:9-10 "What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags."

> It would contain proof of its divineness by explaining things that 1st-century scribes couldn't possibly know.

That would be counter productive. The Bible is meant for everyone to read and understand. If it tried to explain things that even educated people couldn't possibly know, the Bible would be as popular to read as EULAs.

> It would be so densely packed with information on math, physics, biology, and morality that today's greatest minds would study it to create new technologies. It would explain the germ theory of disease, formulas for antibiotics, and treatments for cancer, Alzheimer's, and heart disease.

The Bible emphasizes the spiritual, not the physical, and it told humanity to figure the world out:

Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
