Very interesting to see her joining Golem. I have been following them for many years and I'm excited to see what they produce, but they seem to have been in a holding pattern for a while unable to produce progress in some ways. I think she'll probably help solve that.
Exactly. The real issue at hand is that people get upset too easily, on both sides.

How about we all just go with the assumption that others aren't jerks?

We can have rational discussions about what we like and don't like. If I use a pronoun that you feel doesn't fit you, it's most likely an honest mistake, even if it happens a few times. Likewise if I disagree with you on a social policy, it's very likely that I'm not bigoted toward whichever group you want to protect, I may think it's not something that government should be involved in or perhaps I haven't read the evidence you have and thus I don't think it's a problem that needs policy to fix.

If we all assume the best intentions in others, I think we'll all get along just fine.

GDPR says consent must be freely given, that is, that you can't deny access to services or content based on it - see Recital 43.

This is the diference between Linux and GNU/Linux. These phones are trying to use the same userland and similar distros to what you would use on the Linux desktop.
And if it doesn't cover software you use, then it sucks to be you. Or if you want to install an application to a different disk. Or if you want to have two different versions of an application installed. Or if you want to use an application that relies on dependencies your package manager has decided are incompatible. The package management paradigm has its own set of limitations and flaws.
This is true, but I'm sure the original painters were very skilled at working within these constraints. While quite a lot of reconstructions seem content to get the base colors only.

I also wonder how much of the time these statues spent freshly painted. It wasn't particularly durable & was often outdoors. So I presume that quite a lot of the time the paint was a bit patchy... and that this was part of why they bothered to use marble (or basalt) in the first place, not just whatever was convenient.
<rant-ish content>

agreeing with sibling, WordPress _is_ a blog engine that has been twisted and squeezed to support other things. BuddyPress is probably the ugliest manifestation of this, one of the slowest, sluggiest, buggiest things I've ever touched.

I praise the extreme simplicity of the WordPress database structure, but that is also a very serious limitation.

Examples if issues:

- WP is ridiculously rigid when you want to scale it - that is due to having it's file storage as and actual file storage, without any abstraction.

- The media library is an utter mess since the backbone.js mockery added in 3.5, with inconsistent use of filter and hooks on backend vs frontend.

- It's forcing compatibility with long dead PHP versions. (5.2. That is before namespaces.)

- I only supports MySQL but maintains MyISAM compatibility, so no foreign innodb keys, no cascade delete, no nothing.

It should never have wished to become other, than a blog/small website engine without first making long, long overdue backend fixes.

But instead, for many years now, I'm seeing the community being neglected; features that are questionable, pushed through (emojis, REST API, Gutenberg); WP.org without a clear focus, and without answering decades old threads, like a database abstraction layer.

All that said, WordPress is easy to use - but I'd welcome an extremely simple, WYSIWYG, small, static site builder instead, with proper support for media, portfolios, galleries, with a WordPress importer, which could easily take over the mess, that WordPress, my once loved CMS had become.

Yeah, but initially you make very little money. To make more money (at least enough to hire somebody), you need to improve your product or sell it to way more people, for which you need money.

Often times you even need money to build your product in the first place.
> It was for many years for >98% of the users when IE had near-total market dominance.

It never reached that high: IE was only around 80% at the time of IE6's release (and IE6 was the first version of IE/Win to support quirks mode, allowing the change without breaking sites; IE5/Mac had shipped a year earlier, but never had the marketshare its Windows counterpart had).

I would add Syrian to that list.

But even within these dialects, there are regional dialects that might be difficult to understand even for native speakers from that same country.

For example, Tunisian Arabic can (roughly) be divided into northern and southern dialects. I've met people in the north who think I'm from Libya because of some words that are shared with southern Tunisian Arabic. Tunisia is a relatively small country, so imagine the variation in dialects in Egypt!

If you're interested in learning Arabic, don't let this scare you! The "generic" Egyptian, Lebanese, and Syrian dialects will easily be understood by most Middle Easterners and a fair chunk of North Africans.

>So people believe that Tesla is going to upend the entire auto industry, but can't believe that some company will figure out how to build nice charging stations?

I think you're underestimating Tesla's first-mover advantage. My father works for a city in LA county and when Tesla decided to build a supercharger there, they initially asked the city to not only provide free real estate and grid connection, but to pay them to do it. Now, the city didn't pay, but it did incentivize in the form of free spaces in a prime shopping center because both city and property owner knew superchargers will bring a steady flow of well-to-do captive audience customers. I'm guessing this scenario is repeating itself all over the country wherein Tesla is building out superchargers for very low upfront and recurring cost.

No other charge network or automobile manufacturer has this type of leverage, nor will they for likely many years. If Electrify America were to approach that same city with the same request they'd likely have to pay/lease real estate, or install in sub-optimal locations (like Walmart parking lots), because they will not bring even remotely close to the same amount of traffic and economic activity as superchargers.
Important to point out that the VM rebuttal has been debunked and most of those supposedly empty seats have children and shorter people in.

The political slant of the author comes through loud and clear from the first paragraph:

>Amazon and other tech companies are raking in billions by selling services that aid President Trump’s deportation agenda, according to a report.

Some find and replace set to "non-partisan" would render that:

>Amazon and other tech companies are profitably selling services that aid lawful immigration enforcement, according to a report.

Also telling is the (imo, blatantly dishonest) refusal to use the words "illegal", "undocumented", etc, making it sound like ICE is attacking people who crossed the border legally.
>Adding even more negativity to the mix, a lot of HN users are skeptical of Tesla in general and Autopilot in particular.

It's worth mentioning Ethereum has been planning to switch to proof-of-stake (PoS) mining instead fo proof-of-work (Pow) for a long while now. They even have a "time bomb" built into their PoW algorithm they have to "reset" every once in a while because these original plans were more aggressive.

I'm not necessarily in favor of PoS, but it does "solve" the electricity concerns you are raising.

It's not easy, but it's possible. All animated/transioned elements emit lifecycle events like animationstart/transitionstart so you can use those to orchestrate complex animations. This is AFAIK how ng-animate works internally.

A friend of mine is highly regarded engineer at one of electric car manufacturer. He supposed to be getting 8% corp discount for buying their vehicle. He doesnt so I asked him why since he’s so lucky. He told me eventually the day will come that local government or LE will force them to update their car’s OS to report continuesly on the speed you drive, similar to how tachometers work on trucks where cops stop you and can review your speed for the last 14 days you drove your rig nd either report you to your employee or guve you a retro-ticket for speeding. This update, he says will come and nothing you can do to stop it. I take my friend’s word very seriously although getting EV is as tempting as never before!

Urdu is a language which I speak and admire - for the reason that the Hindi-Persian mix along with the Persian syntax/alphabet gives it the ultimate flexibility.

Hand soldered wire harnesses are still used heavily in the industry.

Looking at it, I wonder how medical waste is handled. Single use plastics are pretty common there, and they're considered bio-hazardous waste after. I'd call plastic tubing and bags to be single-use plastic. There's no apparently exception for them in my brief reading of the directive.
It is probably "losing" time because it assumes the system clock is set to local time while Linux assumes it is UTC. If either use a network time service to reset the clock, the other will look wrong between reboots.

The easiest solution is to use localtime on Linux. Windows can run with the system clock set to UTC but I hear it is rare so it my not be well supported. See more here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_time#Time_standa...
People give "experienced mechanics" far too much credit. Sure, many of them are great and have fantastic diagnostic skills, but many of them have also been fixing the same 10 problems for 20 years.

Case in point: years ago I took my (modified) pickup truck to a transmission shop because it was leaking gear oil. I had the Factory Service Manual and knew exactly what the problem was, but didn't have the tools or interest in doing this particular repair (required dropping the transmission and I knew from experience what a pain in the ass it was without the right tools).

The transmission shop refused to believe me when I told them what the problem was: "in all my years, I've never seen that happen" etc. They even made me sign a document to guarantee that I'd pay them after they pulled the transmission and I turned out to be wrong.

Result? The shop manager came out shaking his head, "sonofabitch, you were right. I have never seen that before. It's an easy fix, but we need to keep the truck overnight so we can order the part."

There are many, many cases of an untrained individual whose self-interest leads them to research and become deeply educated on something important to them that the so-called experts have only a passing familiarity with. Usually it's something medical-related, in this case it was automotive.

Python GUI Development with Tkinter: Part 2
If you don't have specific Windows apps, I'd be tempted to try a Chromebook these days.

Around 2 years ago I got a cheap Chromebook and it was terrible. I think it was $250. Fit and finish and keyboard kind of sucked. I found one of those HP Chromebook 13 g1 boxes, which Woot had refurb for half off at just under $500, and it is much closer to the hardware experience I'm used to with Thinkpads, for 1/6th the price.

Now, I almost always reach for the Chromebook instead of the Thinkpad EXCEPT when I need to connect to both of my work VPNs, the Chromebook will only connect to one at a time. I can ssh into my personal and work machines, run my password manager, program via remove vi sessions (though I could stand to use VSCode, I don't have that set up on my Thinkpad either).

The Chromebook has been a great experience for me.

Twitter blocking a Sikh genocide website URL from being posted
I just noticed that Twitter is blocking 1984SikhGenocide.org links. Any tweet containing the link is being sent to drafts. The website allows for people to contact their elected representatives in US, Canada, Australia and UK. There is nothing else on the website at all, it matches your zip code and tells you your representative and allows you to send a pre-crafted email.

Is anyone here from Twitter that can look into it and see why a non-threatening website is being blocked? Is it due to Indian government pressure?

Hmm. In the UK we have representative democracy - the people choose to devolve powers to the leaders on the principle that they work full-time to make the best decisions for the population they represent.

This is a huge shift of power. But perpetual referenda doesn't seem workable with present technology so rule by the demos is always going to mean devolving power to a small group, which has inherent difficulties.

I like the system of the demos being able to force a referendum with a substantial minority, eg 5%. Then perhaps require a supermajority to pass legislation. This works to limit the power of the chosen representatives.
I've really not had any issues finding what I need for Arch Linux.

it is but it's not feasible for the system theme to change the styles of websites.

Just ask any Linux user that uses dark themes and you will find out what happens when the system theme messes with the site theme.

I myself always set a light theme in my Firefox config so I don't get a black on black text/background issue.

With how customized the styling on sites is every site needs to implement their own dark version otherwise you will run into situations where the styling is broken.
There are several safari extensions available already which bring dark-mode to websites. Based on the results I beleive at least some of the one I’m using must be using a filter (rather than using say manually mapped colours in a hash).

The difference between Amazon and the bear is exactly why Amazon is solely responsible for its decisions.
