None of this is true.

> And even in Rust earlier module system written by someone else and was dumped wholesale without enough justification to author who finally left frustrated.

I don't know what module system you're talking about. The first Cargo was unmaintained for a long time before being removed; the original author was long gone. The second rustpkg was largely Graydon's work, not "someone else".

> Same with green threads which at one point they were hell bent on adding and then one fine day decided to dump. Also leading to ban someone in Rust community who was against green thread.

We dumped them in no small part because the community didn't want them! And nobody was banned.

> I think what people do not want to talk about or do not get is unlike Oracle, Google, MS or Apple Mozilla can't just add few dozen highly paid people for language development. So this big community led approach is more of practical matter than some enlightened way to develop software.

In other words, you're saying we treat the community as just free labor. That's an incredibly cynical accusation, and one that bears no resemblance to reality.

I'm pretty confident in predicting that if Rust had adopted a BDFL style of governance, it would have been dead long ago. Community input was critical in decisions like removal of green threads and I/O reform that have helped Rust find its niche.

I live on 26th Street. It used to be two lanes of traffic and two lanes of parking. They redid this to have one lane of bike lanes, one lane of traffic, and kept the two lanes of parking. (You see a similar issue of self-inflicted policymaking at the MTA [1].)

This decision is a handout to medallion owners, who are prolific political donors in this city [2].

A market based mechanism such as a variable congestion charge would probably be a better way to restrict traffic.
Absolutely. Modern compilers are trivially able to inline such operations, so there's no reason not to make your intentions and separation of operations crystal clear. After all, you're going to read the code a lot more often than you'll write it.
>the other is unsubstantiated racism that has been known as wrong for a century or more.

No, the popular, "politically correct" opinion has not been in favor of interracial relations for "a century or more".

50 years ago, much of Dr. King's work for human rights was considered by the authorities to be a grave threat to national security that was controlled by the USSR and needed to be "neutralized". Aren't those all criteria that Twitter would accept for banning someone?

Do you think the censors at Twitter have infallable moral compasses that are superior to society's?
There's much subjective processing happening inside your cameraphone too- the amount of analog-to-digital conversion/demosaicing/defringing/tonemapping/color correction/denoising in there is extraordinary, but since it takes pictures of normal stuff, one tends not to notice. And that's not even counting the subjective processing happening inside your eyes and along the path from your eyes to your brain.

Anyway, stars look like indistinct blobs of whiteish light to the naked eye, and they're indistinct blobs of whitish light in the video. I'd be very surprised if it would look much different to the naked eye, if the naked eye could resolve it.
It's possible that https://pandoc.org/ could also convert a PDF to epub. YMMV, I haven't tried it.
Each person needs to set their own limits. For me this barrier was enough, but some may need more drastic barriers. I wouldn't judge people for trying to effect positive change in their life.
Not really sure if this mindset is more regionally based than anything else but as a full stack developer working in Toronto at 24 years old I've never heard of this stigma in the workplace. The past 2 companies I've worked at have all had an average age of 40+. Same story for most of my college friends now working in the GTA.
Based on the source, I went in to this article assuming it would somehow paint North Korea in a more forgiving light, and attack the Trump administration. I was not wrong.

The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe Otto was physically beaten, maybe he wasn't. Maybe his incarceration conditions were "good" or maybe they weren't. Maybe he did try and commit suicide, maybe he didn't. The author certainly didn't have any more hard, objective facts than anyone before them. He just had an axe to grind.

The UX doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. It’s totally separate from the movie itself, I have to click any one line to see a translation (which doesn’t mean I’d want to “save it), clicking a line doesn’t pause the actual movie which I had to start elsewhere... I’m failing to see how this is an effective language teaching tool.

I think there’s something there in leveraging movies/tv to teach language, as well as leveraging the existing subtitles. But it probably would need a deeper understanding of the languages themselves... for example being able to even map a given word to the translation versus an entire sentence (and perhaps being able to expand further).

That said, one of my best friends growing up learned English at age 11 by watching American TV. She was from Poland, and had no formal teaching. Several years later not only did she know English fluently, she has a perfect American accent. It helps that she was young and motivated (and really smart).

This is probably the best hint that they might not be so useful. The truth is most people never go to libraries.

I appreciate the pointer! I expect that ActivityPub is the right idea, but just needs to be refined by competitors. Much like XML-RPC and SOAP eventually gave way to REST. It could be the real deal, though.

A market based mechanism such as a strong labor union of drivers would probably be a better way to ensure livable wages.
This is a very important point. Libraries do more than just lend books. They are institutions that preserve and promote knowledge and have certain values "built in". They also often serve as local community centers of sorts. Having cheap books available in Kindle store does not fully replace functionality of a library.
NAT is a minor nuisance for protocol design and most games have exactly zero problems with NATs. I think games are actually one of those things where NATs are really not a big issue, because the high packet rate will never produce timeout issues.

SIP is a different story, but SIP (and it seems all other VoIP stacks as well) are mindboggingly problematic in every way imagineable, so NAT is a problem but NAT is definitely not your only problem with VoIP.

(I consider VoIP hugely impressive for turning what literally was "connect two wires, polarity doesn't really matter" with a debugging experience of "if you don't hear the tone, the wire is broken" and a reliability of "it works" into "well you need a fully-loaded computer connected to the internet running an insane software stack with more compatibility hacks than your unsightly mother" with a debugging experience of "well f---" and a reliability of "I'm just going to use my cellphone, whose battery life is literally less than one day")
"Yo, que me figuraba el Paraíso / Bajo la especie de una biblioteca. (I have always imagined Paradise as a kind of library)." - Borges

Libraries, as physical places, have a sanctity about them and every discussion on "replacing libraries" have to take this into account, I think. It's the place where many people had their first ad hoc meeting with great writers there and had their real education, a notable example is Bukowski: "John Fante’s minor classic “Ask the Dust”; the book, which Bukowski accidentally discovered in the stacks of the Los Angeles Central Library, made a huge impression on him" (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/03/14/smashed).

This, the random browsing among physical books, is the most important aspect of a library for me, I usually spend 90% of my time in libraries doing precisely that.

After I had my son I also came to appreciate the children's area and the activities there in our local library (e.g. write a letter to our hamster"). The PC help function mentioned in the article also seems to important and popular.

As for being a sanctuary for homeless people or those struggling with addiction: My anecdotal experience has been that such patrons are a usually disruptive (and sometimes frightening) influence in most city libraries. They usually use the space to sleep (snoring is forbidden though!) and for other activities.

It's hard to come up with a better solution, though.

I’ll go the other direction. Public libraries have large and networked collections, physical and digital, that they let you borrow for free. Why do we need to buy from Amazon and subscribe to Netflix when in theory the libraries could provide all that content?

Thanks for the references. I have looked at some of them on google books.

The problem is not with the teachers, but with the system itself, which seems to resist change because of inertia. I read Gatto's and Holt's books maybe 15 years ago. They were a refreshing explanation for why I had found "school" to be such a miserable experience: no freedom, teach to the test, bullying (students pick on each other when they're miserable), the training to 'not care' about anything (ringing of the bells), etc.

I frequently meet people that were traumatized by their age-segregated school experiences. Gatto and Holt both advocated that children be 'educated' with experiences in the real world.

Nails that stick out get hammered down. What do you have to say about Gatto's criticisms in this 27-year old essay?
Most people don't go to hospitals either. At any given moment they're probably serving less than .5% of the population.
How Hackers Use Reverse Engineering and Tampering to Hack Connected Cars
Samsung Display says unbreakable, flexible screen passes U.S. safety test
I experimented with Ubuntu by giving a laptop running plain Ubuntu to my retired parents. They are new to computers and their needs are simple.
* Video calls - Skype or FaceTime
* watch youtube.
* Transfer pictures from digital camera to laptop and view them (many times ;-) )
* local newspaper's website
* play their local music library
* Not confuse them.

But, Ubuntu failed them miserably. They had a hard time using because, their words - "what works one time, doesn't the next time."

When my dad closes the lid, he expects the laptop to go to sleep mode, and again open the lid to wake it, just doesn't work all time, give some kind of messages only a tech person would understand.

Their observation - "text is not sharp". I checked it on their laptop display, Windows is rather sharp and usable while Ubuntu's default font rendering is too soft and they need to squint a bit to read.

internet connectivity - There are so many issues with the default wifi setup on their laptop. Dad gets frustrated if it shows him a dialog box with information he does not understand. So, often times the laptop lies there gathering dust until I or a friend goes to their house to "fix it" - often times just reboot the damn thing.

After this struggle, they bought a Windows laptop.
True, but I think of that as institutional inertia.

Libraries were formed to share very expensive printed books in a common space. Over the centuries, books and information became very cheap, and now mostly the common space remains.

It certainly has real value. Do we need to keep the pretense of the books as the real purpose for it?
This seems orthogonal to the parent comment.
Maybe. It could also be highly regressive if applied to for hire cars. This shit is more complicated than a one line "markets uber alles" approach.

We were talking about the value of libraries and education, not university education.

I should come clean, I'm also a university employee. I do agree with you that we require too much formal education in many cases, and would add that the financial cost of university education in the US is outrageous. However, education, independent of universities, clearly has great value. Libraries in particular are very cheap; a single library can service many thousands of people with only a few employees.

Personally, I'd like to see industry embrace educational resources like Coursera, so we can move away from the expensive, often predatory university model that locks many fields behind golden gates.
They can take responsibility for their actions like everybody else, and that includes having the advantage that nobody else in the history of debtors has ever had -- the ability to declare bankruptcy and survive with their hide intact.
What will you give in exchange for that evidence? A differing opinion with sufficient evidence to back it, or merely a less-wrongian meta-comment on styles of discussion?

The former is valuable. The latter is worse than uninteresting.

Could your question be generalised as “why would I want to opt out of X if there is any potential to help beneficial Y” ?

For me the issue is not that Y will be good, more that there are countless of potential research outside of Y that can’t be restricted and I wouldn’t agree with.

23andme for instance is not saying that their data will only be used for research that most people agree with. There is no “don’t be evil” mantra they harbor. And by definition there can’t be anything that 100% agree with and they can’t ask everyone for every use.

In that respect I think people should be able to contribute their data themselves to Y, without a man in the middle choosing where else the data should go. Short of that not contributing anything seems a sensible position.

The BLS chart shows correlation, not causation. The question is not whether people with college degrees make more money, but whether college actually provided something that inherently increased their earning capacity (beyond the signaling value of college).

In Germany, the plurality of kids finish school at Grade 10. Does it make our economy better and more competitive that we make kids endure school through Grade 12, and now are increasingly pushing them to do it through Grade 16? Or is it just a zero sum game?
I'd rather just watch content with proper subtitles in the language I'm trying to learn. Say I'm learning German, I could either watch some original movie in German with English subtitles, or watch an English movie with German subtitles. This problem seems already solved.

I am a student without lots of disposable income, and I primarily deploy smaller Phoenix apps which don't get much traffic. I build releases locally with Distillery, and then deploy them in Docker containers on a $15/mo Digital Ocean server.

Docker allows me to run various Phoenix/Elixir apps with various versions of the language and framework since I don't have time to update all of them. My method also allows me to compile .tar.gz releases on my local machine since the lower-tier servers that I can afford don't always have enough memory to compile there.

Here's a tutorial I wrote on how I deploy my Phoenix apps if anyone is interested: https://gist.github.com/jswny/83e03537830b0d997924e8f1965d88....

The surviving lizards are the ones who are capable of holding on through hurricanes. The title almost implies that the lizards as a whole trained to get better at holding on. The article explains it well:

"He found that, on average, the post-hurricane lizards had toe pads that were 6 to 9 percent bigger than those of pre-hurricane individuals, and front legs that were 2 percent longer. This wasn’t because the bodies of specific lizards had changed; there’s no evidence that the toes of adult anoles can grow by that amount. Instead, the storms had simply wiped out all the lizards with small toe pads. By selecting for individuals that were better at clinging to surfaces—and presumably at withstanding high winds—the storms had changed the average proportions of the population."
How to cold email investors
Rust would have died if it used the BDFL model. We had a huge disadvantage starting out, with a tiny team at a smaller company and little name recognition among the lead developers. The only reason Rust achieved any popularity at all was that we listened to the community when they were pushing us to compete 1:1 with C and C++ on performance. Cargo likewise would have been terrible without community input. The community was starting hostile forks before we course corrected.

Additionally, Rust development frankly moves faster than any other language that I know of. You need only look at the release notes for that. The reason is that people can truly be invested in the project, able to make technical decisions as well as contribute code.
The fact that they are arguing that Exposure Therapy is more like sitting at a psychologist's office which is a person that you have come to know over an extended period of time and learn to trust them to a complete stranger saying literally anything they can in order to "trigger" somebody seems quite asymmetrical.

I feel it's a much easier comparison to Physical Therapy. Just because you need to move your arm more in order to regain a full range of movement, doesn't mean that people should EXPECT for me to strain to reach an item that is outside my current reach. When I am in Physical Therapy Session, I expect to be in pain and to exert myself. This is the key difference.

Trigger Warning means if they feel they should listen, then listen. If you do not feel that you should listen then don't. Either way, I should be aware of the fact that this could be a difficult statement and be prepared for it.

Why not government? FOSS is for free public use like any other public infrastructure. It benefits all so it seems proper for government to fund it.

I can't get it to load and the "about" isn't terribly informative, but (I think) I made a proof of concept of a similar thing. Mine is an offline video player that shows dual language subtitles. It has modes for skipping non-dialog sections, repeating the same dialog section, and slowing down playback.

What killed it, though, was a near impossibility of finding a movie that wasn't edited differently in each language (causing at least one of the audio track or language tracks to be out of sync or otherwise unmergeable). Maybe that was just an issue with Mandarin and other languages have better availability, but for me it ended up just being an endless swamp of comparing subtitle files to see if they were different, screwing around with time offsets, and eventually giving up. The player itself worked, albeit with a terrible UI, I just couldn't find more than a handful (OK, actually only one: Lost in Thailand) movies + dual sets of matching subtitle tracks to use it with.

If anybody has a solution to this I'd love to be able to use it again and even willing to post a cleaned up version if there is interest.

I also had vague thoughts of looking at the youtube API to see if there's a solution there for videos that already have multiple subtitle languages, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
