Hey :) Did you tried modern XMPP clients like Conversations, Dino and Movim (I'm the maintainer of this one)?
I do not know the meaning of life. I do not what to perform a serious action without knowing the reason.

My mother is urging me to have a child. Her major argument is that when I get old, no one would take care of me. But I think that’s selfish thinking. The purpose of a new life shouldn’t be taking care of another person.

I’m impatient with children too. I stay away from relatives’ children during reunions. I hardly find joy interacting with them.
Linux is fine for developers as well.

But for users, it doesn't help if you bought a tool last year and it gets non functional because Apple removed or tightened down a function in their OS.

You can only hope than that the developers are still around and update it if that's even possible.
For anyone who is curious but cannot render the WebGL2 examples, I've just created a video of me scrolling through them: http://no.gd/mariowater.mp4
Swedish is a bit more rare in International linguistics, but German is not. There is an entire population in the American mideast that learn and speak German as just an example of a very far off population of non-German speakers of the language.

Even without speakers, Gutenberg hosting these books does not mean they are targeting Germans. I can put any of these texts through Google translate and read them myself despite my only experience with German being one class in high school.
Well, they elected Viktor Yushchenko and "someone" accidentally tried to poison him with dioxin and almost succeeded. Then somehow Viktor Yanukovych was elected, signed extremely pro-Russian legislation (after being advised by Paul Manafort, currently indicted by Mueller for his actions related to the 2016 US presidential election).

Russia would probably point to NATO encroachment in areas it considered inviolate, but honestly, they invaded free and independent neighbors and annexed them... and perhaps a bit of circumspection in that respect would have been wise.

This whole thing is a scam on Putin's part. Putin claims that the US is rapidly building a huge anti-ballistic missile defense system that could stop every single present Russian warhead. And that it is doing this in preparation for invading Russia and turning it into a brutally-oppressed colony, or at least threatening Russia with nuclear destruction to get it to do all sorts of important things that would be damaging to Russia.

This is all nonsense. The US is building only a modest number of ABM missiles, and there are no plans beyond that. And the US has no interest whatsoever in invading Russia. Not even over-the-top hawks like John Bolton or the neoconservatives, even mention that idea. As far as nuclear threats to Russia, the US is content to stick with the MAD balance of terror that has kept the peace for over half a century.

So why is Putin saying these crazy things? I think it is a combination of two things. One is that he is a Russian, and so as a consequence of Russian history, he believes that the country is always under imminent threat of invasion, no matter what the facts are. The other is that, as authoritarian leaders so often do, he is trying to divert his public's attention from domestic ills that he knows he will not solve.

Does anyone want to disagree with me? Does anyone want to lay out all that would be involved in invading Russia (a review of Napoleon's attempt would be helpful here) and also in occupying it, and argue that yes, the US leadership sincerely thinks it would be a great idea, and the US leadership furthermore has good reasons to think the invasion and occupation would be successes?
Totally disagree..wakes are very common still, at least in Catholic communities.
Or.. github.. or gitlab..
Wait, is it equally strong? We have lots of cohort studies. Do we have studies that show a mechanism of action? If one exists, do we know the circumstances in which it occurs? Are there particular formulations that are risky? Are there food handling or cooking factors we're not aware of?

We know a great deal about the mechanisms of action by which smoke inhalation and tobacco in particular cause cancer.

I don't think the distinction here is merely in strength of the effect.

I'm curious why Twitter isn't at least experimenting with this (or Facebook and others). Even if just 10M accounts paid $5 per month, it is 600M biz a year.
But....why? In a certain way, it's just some random court from a country you've never been to ordering you to do something. Why would you comply. There are ways foreign entities and governments can pursue an American company through the American legal system - the plaintiff decided not to do that here and decided to go through the German system instead. Which is all fine and dandy, but I still don't understand why an American company with no legal presence in Germany should obey rulings of the German court.
I'm pretty sure as long as you drove around in the right car and lived in the right house while you neglected your family, society would still see you as successful.

From an Asian perspective, children are a pension scheme and insurance policy. It's a child's duty to support their parents on their old age.

My mother in law is semi paralyzed, and we support her. But it's hard because my wife is an only child.

Also due to this cultural setting, there are few old folks homes, whether government or private. Some are run strictly too where an old person can't play with their phones at night, etc.

There's the Asian businessman aspect too - a father builds a legacy, and the children take the business the father has established and expands it. It's a fantasy, especially for those born with less of an advantage, who are ambitious but want to pave the way for their children to live out those ambitions.

From a religious perspective, a pious child will pray for their parents and keep them out of hell. So it's an afterlife investment as well.

Materialism aside, children are fun. They're cute. On a rough day at work, it's nice to have someone miss you.

They're nice to have around the house and nice to share the home with. What's the point of becoming rich without someone to share it with? The spouse only lives for so long. You need someone to be with in your 90s, someone to visit you when all your friends are dead.

Nothing has changed so I'm not sure the significance. It's mainly 5-8 miles per week of running, body weight exercises, free weights a few times per week and meditation. This, also, has been replicated in studies.
You're absolutely right. Russia should be absolutely terrified by the US abm sites because the US is planning on launching a massive nuclear missile attack that would totally destroy Russia.
Two of my great-grandparents were first cousins. We blame every bit of nuttiness in our family on this, whether or not it's fair :-D

I don't understand why many people (myself included) fear ghosts?

If I heard something go bump in the night it would freak me out. Yet I've never read of a historic event of haunting where the ghost (or whatever phenomenon) actually did anything terrible. Tipping stuff over, opening doors, or in this case knocking on wood, isn't exactly threatening. Yet if that were me I'd split out of that house faster than you can say Casper :-)

I don't think it's the fear of the unknown. I see unknown stuff all the time that's not at all frightening. There's something about poltergeist (or poltergeist-seeming natural phenomenon) that's just too much.

My wife and her sister both claim to have seen the same ghost from separate rooms. In a house where someone was known to have died, one night she saw a man wearing older clothing standing in her bedroom doorway, looking at her with a puzzled look on his face. She blinked and he was gone. Her sister from her bedroom saw the same man. Only once, and it never happened again.

Ah, I didn't realize that WebGL 2 had such rocky support. I'll look into porting back into WebGL 1, but I would require OES_vertex_array_object and searching online it seems to have as spurious support as WebGL 2, so I'm not sure it would be a huge improvement.

For now, I'll look into adding error messages for people that cannot initialize WebGL 2.
For two reasons - other publishers were poking around about doing the same thing (minimize risk of it happening again with other titles), and to keep on the good side of the court (to ease appeals).

Can't say I blame them for either reason.
I'm curious why the downvotes on this. SDC will absolutely be an immense tool for insurance companies to price their product according to the risk the perceive from specific driving actions.

They already do this, however their source of data is just the DMV via traffic violations.

This can also be a source of (small) revenue for mapping providers and sensor aggregators (eventually).

The idea of prosecuting for rape definitely came up, but English law defines "rape" too narrowly for deceiving someone into giving consent to count. Interestingly, there is one exception: deceiving someone about what your gender is in order to convince them to have sex with you, and there has even been a prosecution: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_by_deception
>So long as Russia has territory it doesn't control inside what it views to be its natural geological boundaries, there will always be Russian aggression.

Quite true. The problem is that in order to gain the territory, it takes aggressive actions that provoke the very hostility it fears.

Russia's basic problem is it thinks we are still in the pre-nuclear era where great powers regularly invaded each other, and the pre-industrial era where that was the main road to economic wealth.
My point is, with a language like Rust, you can pretty much throw all this away. Why put yourself through this intentionally?

I also feel you're dodging my question. A 1-in-1000 spurious write to 0x0 is something you'll have a terrible time even identifying as the cause of your failure specifically because it is completely silent. Your embedded system just happens to stop working sometimes, where do you even think to begin? Assuming you know this is why, sure, throw on a watchpoint and call it a day, but how did you connect "heater stops heating" to 1-in-1000 write to 0x0?

You don't have to worry about that with a language that wont even let you make that invalid program in the first place.

International IP law is standardized through the World Intellectual Property Organization. National laws like the DMCA in the US are local implementations of the international agreements.

Conforming to these rules is necessary to join any international club.

Without agreeing to terrible copyright laws, as a country, you basically don’t exist.

I don't think Google's contractual terms are illegal, though they certainly have a profound impact on any competition that uses Android or builds Android apps. See this article for a detailed analysis of Google's Mobile App Distribution Agreements (MADA): http://www.benedelman.org/news-021314/

Furthermore, from my understanding, for any device to support streaming to Chromecast, it must have Google Play Services, which in turns means complying with MADA. The leaked MADA documents that the public has seen requires you to distribute all of Google's apps in a prominent position on your device, prevents you from forking Android - even on other, completely unrelated devices (prohibiting what Amazon did with Fire OS), requires you to give Google detailed sales information about your devices each month, and more. (Read the article I linked above, and/or review one of the linked MADAs (2).)

So from what I've read about the MADA, supporting Chromecast streaming on Amazon devices would require a complete "takeover" of every Android-based device that Amazon sells, replacing FireOS with Google's Android, and forcing Amazon to bundle Google Play Services and all of Google's apps, and giving those apps the prominent position over Amazon's. The MADA would require this for all devices, even ones that wouldn't support Chromecast streaming.

In a Recode interview (1), Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos implied that these business terms are the heart of the issue:

> "We sell Roku, we sell Xbox, we sell Playstation. We're happy to sell competitive products on Amazon. When we sell those devices, we want our player — our Prime Video player — to be on the device, and we want it to be on the device with acceptable business terms. You can always get the player on the device. The question is, can you get it on there with acceptable business terms? And if you can't, then we don't want to sell it to our customers, because they're going to be buying it thinking they can watch Prime Video, and then they're going to be disappointed and return it."

> I think this is an untenable position as it would mean that any website, published from any country, hosted on servers in any country, would have to abide by the laws of the world’s 193 countries.

No. If you read the court order, they are arguing, that gutenberg.org is targeted at Germans. There are a few reason:

1. there's a link on the front page to view the site in German

2. there's a similar German project: http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/

3. Gutenberg was after all German and .org isn't .us

4. gutenberg.org was mentioned quite a lot in the German media

Also, let's not forget, that gutenberg.org was contacted about this in advance, multiple times.

So yeah: If you do a website and target a different country, ignore emails about legal issues from citizens of that country for months, you should start to think about respecting the laws of that country.
>Must it be paying for knowledge? What about paying for convenience of accessing it anytime anywhere and in a timely manner?

I'm willing to put up with a considerable amount of inconvenience for open content, including advertising (as long as they are not tracking or using unknown scripts).

$5/month is also a lot of money to me, that currently covers: website, IRC, VPN and a game server. Most the people here may be on a better than average wage working within tech fields, so I imagine opinions to be skewed.

>Ultimately someone has to do the research and legwork. If they don't get paid they'll do less/none.

I mentioned this originally and I'm not entirely aware of how to tackle this - but I think the overall cost to the user financially should be really low or nonexistent. That could mean an attention economy, mining coin on a specialized chip, or whatever other reasonable means. It should also be a choice where possible.

Another idea I thought of a while back would be to have people reading the content help share the load of hosting by acting as a peer. There's some not very well supported server sockets (last time I checked) coming for browsers that could make this possible, but equally with a well designed client. Potentially the more popular the content, the less it costs to run.
The author references this in his post, but I think it's worth calling out: https://magcius.github.io/model-viewer/ has models from various scenes in various games, and lets you travel through them.

I think it's pretty cool, as it reminds me how much work goes into making a scene in a video game.

No, you're correct, the traditional approaches to curing are salt (NaCl), sugar, and smoking. No need of saltpetre or nitrites. You can cure your own truly nitrate-free bacon at home if you're so inclined.

Smoking, of course, introduces its own set of carcinogens.
Btw, Waldorf Frommer is specialized in these questionable law suites. They built an business around sueing people for torrenting things.
It's great irony that Johannes Gutenberg, the person who the project is named after, was German.
>Learning that your own risk of cancer has increased from something like 5% to something like 6% may not be frightening enough to put you off bacon sandwiches for ever. But learning that consumption of processed meat causes an additional 34,000 worldwide cancer deaths a year is much more chilling

No, it really isn't. This is pure sensationalism. I can't stand articles which try so desperately to scare me. It makes me even less likely to follow suggestions.
[Ab]using mipmaps to do stylized distance-dependent texture blending is a neat trick!
As long as the US continues winning the economic/political game it doesn't matter what country builds X weapon that (perhaps) the US doesn't have (yet). It doesn't really make sense for China/Russia to try and compete with the US militarily - need only ask the Soviet Union how that turned out.

They need to compete on the economic/political level and they are still half a century away from having the clout the US has, regardless of who might occupy the Executive.
Which is a shame really as the tastiest chips are fried in lard, or better still, beef dripping. Not very accommodating to vegans however.
>These companies need the Russian threat to justify their existence.

So you're saying that Russia would be a peaceful, friendly nation, except that the military-industrial complex, which is about 5% of the US economy, persuades congress, the State Department and every president (including Obama) to act in ways that force Russia to be militaristic back?

One reason I find this highly improbable is there are lots of powerful political groups that benefit from peace and lower military spending. Are you saying they just stand by and passively let the military-industrial lobby get what it wants? Furthermore, if your conspiracy theory was true, then military spending would be very high, like 10% of gdp like it was during the cold war. Instead it is, as I recall, down around 4%.

The other reason is you seem to be assuming that Putin and Russia are basically peace-loving. That certainly does not fit with Russia's history. I mean, the Russian Empire got to be an empire through a whole lot of military conquest. And Putin was for decades a dedicated communist who believed world peace could come about only through either revolution or conquest. And Russians are highly ethnicist and nationalist, not at all peaceful universalists.
It's a fascinating experiment. A language that's actually a single developer's walled garden, where they make all the decisions, write all the code, and personally vet every library. (There must be other languages where the language team devs hvae to individually approve every package before allowing it to be added to the package manager, but I certainly haven't run across it before!)

It's quite enjoyable to watch, but obviously it's not scalable or sustainable in the general case.

> Elm's management has left me with the impression of a really smart, well-intentioned hellscape.

That seems fair, yes.

My personal view is that there's about a 90% chance the project will collapse under its own weight before it ever hits a release and becomes a normal project, but there's a 10% chance it'll (one day) migrate into a real language (with a real governance model, an actual team working on it, bugfixes being shipped, etc.).
