You're right, I'm from what people usually call the North of Sweden, and while we have plenty of soft tunnbröd eating it with surströmming is just wrong. Surströmming goes with tuttul(local hard tunnbröd variant) sourcream, potatoes, dill, and chopped red onions. I don't enjoy it though, mostly because my tummy didn't agree with it, and I was farting that less than lovely smell of freshly opened can, almost constantly for a week! I'm not likely to eat it again, even though my family does at least a couple of times a year

I wish we had humane keyboards with special symbolic row (or two), since this:

["+" => (|a: Integer

Germans have experience with Surströmming.

> In 1981, a German landlord evicted a tenant without notice after the tenant spread surströmming brine in the apartment building's stairwell. When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified when the landlord's party demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom. The court concluded that it "had convinced itself that the disgusting smell of the fish brine far exceeded the degree that fellow-tenants in the building could be expected to tolerate".

Whoever thou mayest be, beloved stranger, whom I meet here for the first time, avail thyself of this happy hour and of the stillness around us, and above us, and let me tell thee something of the thought which has suddenly risen before me like a star which would fain shed down its rays upon thee and every one, as befits the nature of light.

Fellow man! Your whole life, like a sandglass, will always be reversed and will ever run out again, - a long minute of time will elapse until all those conditions out of which you were evolved return in the wheel of the cosmic process. And then you will find every pain and every pleasure, every friend and every enemy, every hope and every error, every blade of grass and every ray of sunshine once more, and the whole fabric of things which make up your life. This ring in which you are but a grain will glitter afresh forever. And in every one of these cycles of human life there will be one hour where, for the first time one man, and then many, will perceive the mighty thought of the eternal recurrence of all things:- and for mankind this is always the hour of Noon.

That's what grand juries, juries, and transparent trials are all about. The first set of Russians indicted months ago have had lawyers representing them in front of a judge this entire time, despite the fact that there is no Russia-US extradition treaty and zero chance of then facing trial. The Office of Special Counsel is fully aware of that fact and yet they keep going, despite the risk that a judge could force them to reveal evidence, sources, and methods that would undermine the entire investigation.

This isn't Iraq WMDs 2.0 where an administration pressured career civil servants until they found one who was partisan enough to back them up. This is an international counterintelligence operation stretching the Five Eyes, Dutch AIVD, and half a dozen other countries.
The many, unpredictable, and very real, negative side effects of anti-depressants can completely outweigh any of the dubious positives, especially when it's impossible to tell which of dozen or so available marketed drugs will or will not have a greater slew of said effects. It's a nasty game of Russian Roulette which can potentially make the depression far worse than if the sufferer decided to err on the side of caution, and not take them at all.

The negatives have affected many people, and who knows just how many and even how bad the side effects are for people.

Being driven over the edge, to suicide, is horrifying effect of some of the drugs. Others have gone on killing sprees because the drugs drove them insane, while taking them or from the withdrawal effects.

> Lots of startups can afford the per seat cost of OSX or Windows.

On the desktop side of things that only happens because of Linux, otherwise (if guys like Ballmer would have had their way at the end of the '90s - early 2000s) those startups would now be paying hundreds of dollars per Windows license per each machine (and maybe more depending on the number of cores? the sky would have been the limit, the same as Oracle did in their field). And not to mention the server side of things, I'm pretty sure the costs for server OS licenses would have been prohibitive for the vast majority of startups without the alternative free OS solutions.
> “Sentimental” value could be actual, taxable value. You could quantify exactly what a house is worth to you

That sounds horrible and very much impossible by definition. The “exact” value of my house where I spent my entire adulthood/childhood is “not for sale”

I keep hearing abouy this market efficiency but never came across a quantifiable measurement of this efficiency. Could you please point me to some literature where they say “oh this market is 70% efficient and that market is 90% because …”? How do you put “exact value” to this efficiency stuff?

I believe that this is the whole idea of SQL or any declarative language.

You want to express your query without saying anything about indexes, how data are retrieved, how joins are executed and so on.

That is (suppose to be) a feature.

I totally understand that. Cities can be crazy expensive, and small towns lack the job market some people need.

I guess I just wonder sometime, what if we designed a city where cars took second place, and high density, public transit, walk-ability, bike-ability, e-bike, car share, etc, was made the priority. Would it make for nicer cities, which are more livable and affordable?

I don't know, maybe not, but it seems as long as Car are still around, we'll never try it out.

EDIT: Generally, dense cities in the European style are like that because they were designed prior to the existence of Cars, and thus Cars have never been able to enter them successfully, too small roads, and weird road networks. Since they were made for walking, they're automatically higher density. But, those cities were also designed before public transit, e-bike, bikes, scooters, package delivery, car share, etc. So I feel like we could do much better then those today.

Technical errors regarding how UTF encodings work:

* UTF-8 is at maximum four bytes per codepoint (which aren't characters, since multiple codepoints can make up a single character... see combining diaretics or ZWJ emoji things). "additional 1-4 bytes" should be "additional 1-3 bytes" (Historically, UTF-8 did support 5- and 6-byte sequences, and if you read up on it, the implementation is obvious, but that was before Unicode settled on U+10FFFF[1] being the maximal codepoint for backwards compatibility reasons with UCS-2...)

* It says UTF-16 extends UCS-2 (which is correct) by incorporating a 4-bit encoding... which probably was intended to be a "4-byte encoding" instead. The surrogate pairs reserve their first six bits for an additional 10 bits making up half of the codepoint being stored (whose value is later added to by 0x10000 to get the actual codepoint). Also, it provides 16 additional planes to the BMP. 17 total including the BMP.

[1] Actually, U+10FFFD is the maximum legal codepoint, the last two codepoints on every plane are reserved and declared as noncharacters. Few parsers are really so strict.

SQL is a bad solution to the wrong problem.

After 50 years it remains non-intuitive and confusing and extracts a tax penalty far greater than its value add. Worse, the problem it claims to solve, "I have all my data in one database now let me transact over it", isn't viable and was never actually viable at scale.

Unfortunately this proposal doesn't understand the real problems with SQL (lack of types, lack of distribution, and no separation between the data write model and the data read model). It actually doesn't seem to introduce anything really new that can't be done using CEP Engines already.
If you’re going to manipulate the DOM (typically via the dev console) it seems vanishingly unlikely you’d insert a new span with a different font rather than just overtyping the text.

Don't most devs prefer writing code on Macs? I haven't met many developers who use linux as their main development machine, and it makes sense. If you are productive on Linux, you will most likely be immediately productive on a Mac.
That doesn't make any sense. A 32 hour work week is not nearly enough hours to make an additional 8 hours pointless. That's a full 25% of your work week so far. Maybe if we were talking reducing 60-80 hour weeks to 40, maybe. But come on.

Have you considered that "isolating" yourself from the people in your community who are most in need has had a negative impact on both you and your community? And that you may vastly overestimate the presence of crime and homelessness because of this isolation?

As someone who does take public transit on a daily basis and occasionally interacts with the homeless and petty criminals, the dehumanization of people in your own community in your comment is absolutely astounding. These people are your neighbors, whether they smell bad, have become victims of addiction, or have turned to petty crime.

Agreed. The reason SQL rules is that nothing has really come into existence that is as or more powerful AND easier.

I used to hate writing SQL (I still do somewhat) but I took the time some years ago to really learn the language and once you do that you appreciate a few things:

1. Yes it requires a high mental load to craft something sophisticated

2. I can’t think of a ‘better’ alternative to SQL that isn’t a compromise.

3. You can do a crap load of stuff with joins, procedures and CTEs once you understand it.

Starting with Java 11, Oracle JDK is no longer free for commercial use, not even for a single day. However, as long as people are OK with GPL v2 + Classpath Exception (which is more permissive than it sounds) and don't need support from Oracle, they can just move to OpenJDK, which is built from the exact same codebase.

Shoutout to https://adoptopenjdk.net, which plans to ship LTS releases of OpenJDK. I believe this will be crucial for keeping the Java ecosystem healthy.

I've been writing Datalog for the last week or so. It took me a bit to adapt to the syntax (also, [1] helped), but now I find myself enjoying the combination of terseness and expressiveness.

It's probably a matter of familiarity, but looking at Flux, it seems both noisier than Datalog and less readable than SQL.

Given that readability is a goal for Flux, I guess it's a matter of subjectivity: readable for whom? What background do you have in order for Flux to look readable?

If any of y’all like this, I am building an open source 3D printed off road robot with in wheel motors and transmissions, and I post regular updates on the project on YouTube. The transmission is currently an 11:1 two stage planetary gearbox that is almost entirely 3D printed (aside from some bearings, screws, and metal pins). I recently drove 2.2 kilometers with it but I’m shooting for 20km and hopefully 50+kms between gearbox services. Can be made on a $1k printer and it’s all CC0 open source. Code is python on Raspberry Pi.

Please check it out if that sounds cool!

I used to think the same before my work company issued us macs. The fact that you have to purchase and install third party software for things which are either inbuilt in modern Linux DEs or come as simple small plug ins is crazy.

The lack of a frecency based app launcher, fuzzy findable window switcher, auto hide and scrolling of menu bar items when an apps menu is too long are all things that can be done in a pinch on GNOME or on something like bspwm, i3 etc. but need me to shell out around ₹2000 to buy third party software on the Mac is appalling.

Finder is shit compared to Nautilus, their spaces implementation leaves a lot to be desired etc.
It's not really the best, though. The article cited to back that up compares Google only to Apple maps and almost entirely focuses on building shapes which add little useful information to the map. Proper street geometry seems more important to begin with.
I'm pretty interested in this kind of thing but I couldn't tell you to within an order of magnitude Earth's distance from the Sun in metres or miles. I could work it out - it's about 6 light minutes and light travels 300,000 km/s - but I wouldn't expect everyone to do that. So expressing the distance in AU is relatable to me. Looking from the probe at perihelion, the sun will appear 25 times wider, or 625 times larger, than it does from Earth.

And does the fact that AU comes from the earth's distance to the sun make it self-centred? Sure, but everyone we need to communicate with would equally find it centred on them. Compared to other measures like "the distance from the king of England's nose to the tip of his outstretched finger" it's quite neutral.
Briefly (?):

As the Fedora bug notes, Default TLS security policies for the Web PKI belong at the OS level, where they can be set by a small number of people who are really thinking about these problems, once. Microsoft has done this (not very well, but they've done it) in modern SChannel .NET support, it is finally relatively easy to write code which says "I don't know, please have the usual amount of security" rather than "I'm an expert, enable this protocol version, these exact ciphersuites, and use this key" or as it more commonly the case "Here's something I pasted from a 2010 Stack Overflow post". As much as possible, and despite all insistence to the contrary by individual developers, these preferences shouldn't live in some effectively unmaintained code in each individual component.

1. In particular if you don't actually care about the identity claimed in the certificate, you shouldn't bother verifying anything at all since obviously bad guys can trivially obtain a cert for some identity.

This was once a VERY common problem, and it's still seen in plenty of places (e.g. one of the toy operating systems doesn't check at all, so the whole OS is wide open, package updates, web browser, the whole thing - another has told users any time there's a problem to switch verification off manually, so I would expect few have it left switched on by now)

2a. Although it feels as though turning min-prime bits up to 2048 would fix things, in practice interoperability is very poor. You might get away with this, in some cases, for say IMAP and SMTP submission with TLS, but it's unlikely to be satisfactory on the general web. Try asking for Elliptic Curves instead.

2b. Everybody called it ARCFOUR (Alleged RC4) for legal reasons, it's fine, don't worry about _that_.

3. I sympathise here, in principle the user ought to have examined the cert, or at least key, they're trusting. But realistically users don't do this, so the security penalty is very small indeed. Examining the entire chain is largely futile, a lot more work and an even smaller number of users would gain anything from it.

8. There isn't really such a thing as "Certificate Transparency revocation checking" and revocation is largely a dead letter for big public CAs in the Web PKI. Almost certainly a bad guy able to attack you using a real cert isn't going to be prevented in their attack by revocation, they will block the signal and you'll fail open, because as we saw in every other item, users switch off any annoying fail-closed machinery.

10. This isn't great, but the idea behind SSL/TLS is that this ends up just being a drop-in replacement for the socket layer. With the exception of some scary features like TLS 1.3's Zero RTT no TLS expertise is needed, and the correct approach if you have no TLS expertise in the Emacs developer team is to just never use those scary features, they're supposed to be gated so that you can't use them by accident.
