IMO, this is the critical issue for internet freedom, not so much the Net Neutrality change. How can we say we're for free speech for all content providers when we excuse shutting down a disagreeable site because of a virtual lynch mob?

They say it's Nazis today, but I see the arguments they use to excuse this action, and how easily they can be applied to any number of other sources in the future. We need to be better than Nazis, not just stronger than them. If we don't care about being better than them, then we risk not being stronger than them for long.
This makes total sense to me, I never had toys growing up. I used to use pens and pencils as action figures (to this day I have a weird habit of having a pen or pencil in my hand when doing mundane tasks at home) and also used to use the plastic ties that would tie store bought bread (red and blue plastic surrounding a thin wire that's pretty malleable) together as toys as well.
The system is setup not to reveal the secret once it’s set. Technical users can root their phones to extract the secret of course, but most users wont be willing to go that far.

You can of course set up a new secret & share it with multiple phones at that point. Not sure there’s much you can do to stop that using a software 2FA implementation. If it really matters, then a hardware token is the way to go.
Interestingly, American and British English disagree about the contraction of possessive "have". In American English, "have" and "had" can be contracted when they are used as an auxiliary (to have done something) but not when used as an possessive (to have something).

I've seen that before.

I'd seen that before.

But not:

∗I've three bicycles.

∗He'd problems with spelling in elementary school.

However, British English does allow this contraction!

The text creates a contraction of "have had" to "have'd", where the first is an auxiliary and the second is a possessive (following an adverb rather than the subject, so that the auxiliary can't contract), which I think is proscribed in both varieties of English:

?I certainly have'd my share of beauty

But I'm not positive about the British assessment of this.
I think so. See `call_indirect` here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/Semantics....

That sucks to hear. I guess this is also similar to high-end cars where they are more problematic than a trusty Toyota Corolla. I've love to own a Rolex Explorer or an Omega Seamaster one day but I am not sure I would ever buy one. I've been happy with Seikos and Casios. I daily wear a Seiko sarb033 on a black leather strap and it honestly as classy as I'd ever want out of watch. I really want to believe that branding isn't the only difference when comparing high-end watches but perhaps this is not the case.

"lemme know" isn't passive-agressive, it's a clear request. you've got to sandwich the information you are providing inbetween two copies of the request:

- start with the request, so the recipient knows why they are reading the main content of the email before they start

- give them all the information that you can to help them respond

- and then end with the request again so it's clear what you actually need and they don't have to scroll back up to read it.

the request shouldn't be more than a sentence, so it's not significantly adding to the length to repeat it.

don't be shy about asking for a response - the whole point of an email should be to get a response, and being clear about what you need in the response is just helping your recipient. And if you don't need a response, be clear about that too - but if you're sending email that doesn't require a response, reconsider whether you need to be sending the email.

> If so, this is an unfortunate blow to Python

As both a Rust and Python user, I don't necessarily agree. This isn't a rewrite to purge Python; it's clear from the post that Mercurial values Python's flexibility, and wants to bend over backwards to ensure as little of that flexibility is lost in whatever transition may occur. And Python's credentials would be secure with or without Mercurial being written in it. Frankly, I think that swapping out critical bits for a low-level language is a great way to scale a dynamic-language codebase without completely sacrificing the usual ergonomics of dynamism.

I applaud trying out cool techniques to transform text, but I think this would work better for non-fiction books.

Fiction is like a serialization of senses for your inner director that paints a world in your mind. By lopping off words, you are altering the pacing and tone of the book. Now, maybe your intent is to create a book that has a totally different character than the original, and if it is, then that's fine. But if your intent is to maintain the character of the book, doing a few replacements can do a lot of harm.

Also, most people want to read longer fiction work and be immersed for a while. This is the reason it's generally harder to sell novellas.

PS. Using the 't' contraction instead of 'the' makes this really hard to parse.

There's pretty broad consensus that we'd like to do Rust and not C for future extension work, but the current plan is that a pure-Python hg will also be something we support. The "rust binary that embeds Python" approach looks like a straightforward win on Windows, where we have a native .exe that embeds Python anyway. I'm not sure if that'll make sense on non-Windows, but we'll see.

I've done some poking around with milksnake, which seems extremely promising for writing native speedups.

The focus on the nuclear family, in American terms, seems to be a product of post-war development and suburban living in the 1950s. And yet even harsh critics of the 1950s mostly focus on the people excluded from or hurt by that lifestyle; atomization and familial loneliness are hardly ever raised as major objections.

(I've certainly seen the isolation of housewives raised, but that's not the same as "the nuclear family" and in fact was largely about a stay-at-home lifestyle.)

So I think you're exactly right here: the nuclear family is at worst one of many changes that enabled social isolation. The actual fact of isolation didn't set in until much later, and it's origin could be equally well blamed on problems from cheap consumer goods (no need to share or borrow) to the decentralization of media (no shared icons like Edward R. Murrow).

A proper treatment of the question would admit that the problem is polygenic and look for shared causes or solutions. But the hot-take approach is to pick one convenient issue and treat it as a singular cause.

(Late edit) Okay, about the small onboard MCUs, I looked a bit more into it, and these 'co-processors' actually look very limited and built into the Cortex-A8 silicon. They only support like, a single UART peripheral and very little else, and appear to be a custom RISC architecture.

Still, it's a promising step. The ESP8266 used a bullshit processor core and still became really popular.

As everything in life, to gain something, you need to sacrifice something else. With RDBMS you get mutability; but to go 10x or 100x faster/larger you need to make hard decisions.

HDFS, S3 and other systems have immutability in-built. Immutability is not bad per-se, as it give (some) assurance that data has not been tampered with, and although it could be implemented, the system cost could be significant.

I had the exact same idea years ago. Eventually I found there are some shortage about it so I ditched the idea:

- How to verify people achieved their goal (this website introduces "supervisor" but I'm not sure that's gonna work well)

- You gain nothing from achieving goals, v.s. you lose money if you didn't

- The gain (goal achieved, which can be done without losing money) is much less than lose (lose real money), so no incentive for people to use this service.

This website will face the same challenge.

I'm happy to see there are someone out there having the exact same idea, I hope they can do well sincerely.

I'm more interested in how observers could be more helpful in these situations. When I see children out of control and an overwhelmed parent, I will sometimes try to help by de-escalating. In fact, I'm coming to think that we should learn as a culture how to talk to other people's children directly in a way that grows community and mutual respect. Children will often listen more intently to another parent (or, even better, especially a slightly older child).

There's pretty sound reasons why non-accredited investors can only invest in public tradable assets. Accredited investors can get into non-public companies if they earn a high enough income such that they can take that kind of volatility. For students fresh out of college that should focus on saving, it is not a great idea to throw those savings into non-public startups. It sure sounds tempting, but many times over has been shown to be the most risky asset class.
>The Germans seem to have moved on; they weren't given a choice, I think.

You'd be surprised.

Initial reaction to headline was it sounded like (a) no more python, and (b) this is a decided future direction.

Instead, it sounds like this is a proof-of-concept for flipping the main 'hg' command from being python + C extensions, to instead being a rust binary with an embedded python interpreter. Part of the rationale appears to be performance, but also smoothing out cross platform experience, especially on Windows.

Pulling out some related snippets:

-----

While Python is still a critical component of Mercurial and will be
for the indefinite future, I'd like Mercurial to pivot away from
being pictured as a "Python application" and move towards being
a "generic/system application." In other words, Python is just
an implementation detail.

-----

Desired End State

hg is a Rust binary that embeds and uses a Python interpreter when appropriate (hg is a Python script today).
Python code seemlessly calls out to functionality implemented in Rust.
Fully self-contained Mercurial distributions are available (Python is an implementation detail / Mercurial sufficiently independent from other Python presence on system)

-----

"Standalone Mercurial" is a generic term given to a distribution
of Mercurial that is standalone and has minimal dependencies on
the host (typically just the C runtime library). Instead, most of
Mercurial's dependencies are included in the distribution. This
includes a Python interpreter.

> But what will come across as "curt" or "mean" is if your e-mails are substantially less fluffy than those of your boss or your co-workers.

You have to be especially careful to not treat people who don't report to you as if they're your subordinates. It's bad to do that to people on your own team, and it's worse to do that to people on another team. A good way to build a bad relationship with someone is to treat them like your lackey when they're not even in the same reporting chain as you.

I've been treated like this before, by someone on another team who sent me a number feature requests that involve significant new work, and by "requests", I mean "demands", without any fluff or niceties or anything. He did this without opening a new ticket (in a company where anything requiring new work needs one), without CCing my boss, and only rarely CCing his boss. This has always resulted in me switching into full-on form letter mode: "Please make your feature request by opening a JIRA ticket in the [redacted] project, and management will choose how to prioritize it.", with my boss and my skip level CC'd on the email.
