I think you mean "syllabic".

Korean is almost phonetic but it's very recent (1443-1444) and it's influenced by the Latin alphabet family (should I call it Phoenician). It's not a direct copy, but it's not an independent invention.

The Japanese language is mostly logographic, but they have two second class syllabic alternatives for students, kids and weird words. They have no traditional phonetic system.

If I can add a personal anecdote, I speak Spanish that is a very regular phonetic language like German. When my daughter was learning to read we have to teach her all the combinations of each consonant, for example "ma, me, mi, mo, mu" and then "la, le, li, lo, lu", and then ... after a few letter we imagined that she would pick the regularity and then with a single example like "ba" she would complete the sequence but no, we had to tell her the whole sequence "ba, be, bi, bo, bu".

This is similar to the system used in schools, so I guess it's necessary to hear all the syllabic combinations in spite when you are grow up you my think they are easy to interpolate.

And remember that Spanish is like German, you have a straightforward relation between the written form and how you say it. [There are minor pronunciation details, as in any language, for example we sometimes drop some unnecessary letters.]

Doesn't your argument apply basically to any law?

The problem with tax law is the following:

- big corporations will lawyer up and still dodge taxes

- small companies will do whatever they can do and they will bet that enforcement is going to be sparse

- the enforcement will be non-existent

I don't know if you meant to do so, but you seem to be arguing governments are incapable of enforcing law against companies.

Having one autoimmune disease increases the likelihood that you have or will develop another one. They also have cross-reactivity on tests.

For instance, false positives on the TTG/IGA for celiac are 2% for healthy patients, but rise to 20% for subjects with type 1 diabetes.

Celiac patients have a drastically higher rate of Hashimoto’s, autoimmune thyroid disease: https://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/718160?keywords=ce... and also the liver disease cited in the article: https://www.verywell.com/celiac-disease-and-liver-diseases-5...

Celiac patients also suffer higher rates of MS: https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2015/05/14/celiac-dis...
MS doesn’t seem gut related on the surface, but you can get almost identical neurological symptoms from celiac. I know because this is what drinking beer does to me.

So, the roots of all of these diseases could definitely be related.

People have lost out due to credit card details having been stolen. PCI compliance is a contract between merchant and bank, and not statute law, and therefore we have seen colossal breaches (like Talk Talk ISP) that are hard to punish. The cost of these breaches currently falls on other merchants who have to lose out to fraudulent car use.

Note that as written, it would include crew and passengers of commercial airlines, crew of cargo planes, passengers and crew on non-commercial flights, and passengers and crew on military flights.

A bit of Googling only turned up data for passengers on commercial airlines, so let's just do those for now.

At the end of 2013, according to the IATA, there were 8 million commercial passengers per day [1]. It looks like it has grown to about 12 million a day since then [2].

If the average flight is 2 hours or more, that would give an average of 1 million commercial airline passengers in the air at a given time. I didn't find any reasonable looking average world flight time data, but the impression I got is that 2 hours is probably in the ballpark.

But that's just an average. At times it will be above that, and at times below it. Given the number of people and flights we are dealing with, I think that variation above and below would be fairly narrow. Thus, I think it is plausible that if cargo, military, and others were included that would be enough to push it to always over 1 million.

Wsl is no virtualization it is more like docker. Therefore, you do not need a extra beefy system to handle wsl.
that's always the argument: "doesn't work here because the population size is n times as big". but i don't understand why this should be the case. it's not that the culture in the u.s. is fundamentally different. and it's not like their budget to combat homelessness couldn't also be n times as big. and the problem in the u.s. is pressing (at least compared to other rich countries) and, one would think, warrant drastic measures.

i think one of the underlying problems is that homelessness is a very diverse problem - people are homeless for very different reasons and need very different solutions - and mostly a symptom of underlying problems that are actually hard to fix. i.e. fixing the symptom would be easy compared to fixing the many, many root issues, because the solutions may run counter to american cultural values, which aren't a problem in countries like finland (an expanded social safety net, for example).

decriminalization of (hard) drugs as seen in portugal might be easier to implement (at least under the next democrat government).

on the other hand i fear that a rising income disparity all over the world might actually cause the problem to worsen in other countries that don't have a huge pressing homelessness problem right now and follow americas lead in the latest tent city fashions.

The first comment is particularly interesting. I have a very clear recollection of seeing the followup to the 60 Minutes episode he talks about. Back then, they would read snippets of letters they received from viewers at the end of the show. After the paper airplane episode (which I did not see, but wish I could find a video of) someone wrote, "You dummies! Show us how to fold the damn thing!" Which they then proceeded to do. Very, very quickly. Following the procedure in real time was hopeless, and this was back in the days when VCRs were still exotic new technology. We did not have one. But the memory of hearing Harry Reasoner (I'm pretty sure it was him) reading that snippet has stuck in my brain all these years.

If anyone can lay their hands on a copy of either one of these episodes that would be really awesome.
Provacative title, but I am unconvinced. The 5W example seems completely valid as it stands and author's attempt only leads to (to my mind ) another valid version of 5W. Even if the article had won me over, I would change the title to 'Root Cause can sometimes provide insufficient results'

That said, I do agree with the author on one thing: gif with a soft 'g'.

Yes, one bad unsafe block in rust can screw up even safe code, everybody here understands that. The difference is that the potential problem surface is much smaller and it is obvious where it might be.

And by limiting the attack surface the language becomes safer. Not formally, but in practice.

That would actually most likely not go through. As a powerful person, you're likely considered a person of public interest, at which point your right to be forgotten is forfeited, because it conflicts with free speech. (A judge will decide whether that's actually the case or not.)
Intuition Engineering at Allegro with Phobos
All depends on the person for which works best. I think we should still focus more on changing the current University education system, but I get that Community College is the better alternative price and time wise. One of my siblings went that route and honestly it worked wonders for them so far. But, I also like what states like Louisiana, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and probably other states are doing by paying University tuition for students that do average in high school.

Personally, I considered the community college route and I'm glad I didn't, all 4 years of university provided relationships that I have leaned on and have paid off in more ways than I could have ever imagined. And this is coming from a kid that came from basically nothing and two parents with nothing more than high school diplomas.

That five why's ends up with a different resolution depending on who you ask doesn't need to be a problem. You're not trying to fix all causes, just avoid the specific problem you had from reoccurring. All you need to find is _a_ cause that when addressed will ensure the problem does not reappear in the same form. In fact, it is better if multiple independent causes can be found because then multiple causes can be addressed.

It could actually be an eye-opener for many people. Most middle-class tech people would probably happily pay $10+ a month for the service Facebook provides, but if its something like $70 then Facebook is either scarily good at monetizing their information or unreasonably pricing the service.

Just know that you have the last MBP that I'd consider worthwhile.

I bought a newer one and 2 keys have already popped off the new ultrathin keyboard. They didn't break, the C-clamps have just already worn out. This laptop is 5 months old. I type a lot. The keys now regularly come up with my fingers as I type.

I'm traveling so I can't fix it. And this has happened to most of my friends in some way. Or constantly having keys misfire because a molecule of dirt got in there.

One reason is that with a mirrorless camera you have to have the sensor powered all the time. That means background heat in the sensor which traditionally been a source of noise. With a DSLR you only have to have the sensor on to capture your final image.

That seems to be less of a problem with modern sensors so it may become a non-issue as time goes by.

Looks like an interesting idea to implement as a modification of a standard language instead of an new isolated language, so someone else can play with it without learning all the new syntax quirks (only use the old well known syntax quirks :)).

For example in Racket you can create a new language where the constants are restricted to 0 and 1 and only nand is defined, and use the standard Racket syntax with it. I've also seen some blogpost that modify Python in strange ways. But I think you would prefer to use a C like language as initial language.
