i agree with you about the plumber. it doesn't matter. but imo that example is not really an analogous situation. what if your instrument was always out of tune? or if a member of your ensemble couldn't keep time? i bet that would prevent you from making a record or being productive otherwise as a musician.

as a full time developer and someone who does notice these little things, i care a lot about good design and visual polish. in order to get my work done, i have to use these interfaces for hours on end, after all. if it doesn't particularly bother you, hey that's great. even if not intentional, this and your original comment come off as a bit disparaging, so that reply isn't terribly off base.

I'm running the same laptop with Manjaro and do not have any trackpad issues. So either you're right and there is some driver issue on your system or maybe it's a hardware issue.

Only problem I've encountered so far is that if I unplug my usb/hdmi/ethernet hub while it's in standby then X crashes as soon as I wake it.
But still the total number of cars e.g. in Germany has been rising in the last few years: http://www.geodaten.guetersloh.de/umweltdaten/umweltd/daten/...

The only decline in car ownership was in 2008, and that was because of the financial crisis, not because of great public transport (which has actually been getting worse in my city in the last few years). The story that people are giving up cars in masses is mostly a myth, even though it might look like that if you live in certain bubbles in the largest cities.

I have a big problem with the conclusion of this article:

They start off and continue with correct observations of failures of the creditation system,... only to end up concluding with a moralizing of the inidividual.

A systemic problem needs a systemic solution.

What should this Prasher have done when his grant was refused? Put a gun to the heads of the reviewers? What should the other pilot besides Lubitz have done? Rammed the door a little harder?

It's also totally disingenious to compare with and portray Darlene Love's story as one of "all's well that ends well", how different would her life (and her relatives, and perhaps the black community) have been if she had been credited appropriately from the start?

There should be some kind of "told you so" factor resulting in feedback to grant approvers...

We should experiment more with different credit metrics.

We should have some kind of priority blinded timestamp service, so people can comfortably collaborate without paranoia (whenever you have an insight, however vague or unsure you are, first get it timestamped, then communicate the idea with your colleagues, even if most of those ideas end up nowhere in practice), ...

The system should be such that it recognizes its own mistakes and compensates for it, it should actively try and identify inappropriate accreditations, rejections and try and contact the rejects, make crystal clear that the system acknowledges its mistake, and offer to reintegrate the individual... this is a breach of trust from the perspective of the individual after all!
They don't tell where they took the translations from and who created these translations. Given your examples, I assume the whole thing is based on Gutenberg or some similar, not on machine translations. If it were humans who made these translations, deviations as you describe them are to be expected. Literary translations ofter are rather some kind of re-creation or interpretation of the original work.

No-one is suggesting that Assange should be prosecuted for making a TV show, so I don't see what you're getting at with the Ventura comparison.

What you can't do is claim that it's somehow normal for someone who claims to be anti-authoritarian to appear on Russian state TV and take Kremlin money. The TV show is one of many examples of unusually close connections between Assange and the Russian state:

I’m sorry I don’t have much to add to the discussion but just wanted to mention that this is one of the most beautiful and insightful comments I’ve read in a while, thank you.

A book I’ve read some time ago - “Reinventing organizations” gave me back a little bit of hope for humanity, and they did detail an alternative school in germany that had all the real things a school should have - above all a passion for making its students the best, most honesf and awesome people it can.

I have a simple wardrobe of mostly black clothes that I feel very comfortable in.

I eat pretty much the same 10 dishes that I love.

I try my best to not worry about things that I have no control over and I avoid drama. I don't tolerate whining so I skip whining and go straight to problem solving. I am very intentional about who I spend my time with and how I spend my time.

I journal every day, write when I need help processing, and/or ask for help when I need to.

I am always conscious about what I'm working towards and what I need to improve on. This helps me make decisions easily and prioritize.

I only focus on one thing at a time. When I need to do something I get it done so I don't have to worry about it and move on to the next.

I'm very happy to see React and Vue influence each other. They definitely are the highest quality frameworks out there and having two different research teams only improves the overall quality of the ecosystem.

I'm a React fan, yet I really applaud all the nice stuff which is coming in Vue 3. Well done.
What about 1/5 instead? There's always going to be problems with some base, the point is that unit conversions are super easy with metric, and it's easier to teach to children.

As for temperature, 0 is really gold and 100 is really hot in pretty much every scale, that's just a very subjective way of describing things.
Maybe people should not get FAANG pay… I started this sub-thread and to me, my life is a big experiment in what a life is even meant to be. I can't imagine seeing the Patreon blow up to the point that it's like FAANG pay (I had to look it up to even know what that was) and am not at all sure that it should: I live in Vermont and I'm gonna die at some point anyway, what's the use of having vast piles of cash left over?
Administrative law has all kinds of requirements regarding process and motivation. For the most part, the arguments in the legal brief (https://blog.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/as-filed...) are about decisions being "arbitrary" e.g. not properly justified by public interest.

This is part of why the Obama era's regulatory changes in e.g. telecoms and finance reform took so long to get through the system - they dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's. This is a much more durable way of changing things than an executive order, since it can't be overturned on the whim of the next president.

It appears that there are similarities in Vue 3.0 with Aurelia, at least on the surface. Things like class based components, proxy-based observer mechanism* and the move towards typescript all remind me of Aurelia.

Been using Vue 2.0 for personal projects and Aurelia for a big work project over the past year and I have to say I am very happy with both. Personally I prefer the single file components in Vue but the class based style of writing them in Aurelia. Seeing these two things converge in Vue 3.0 together with the performance improvements looks very promising.

*Not sure that under the hood Vue 3.0 works the same way as Aurelia but the mentioned points in the slides lists array index / length mutation and later the observable function are familiar from Aurelia.
That's false, the Imperial system is pretty bad at doubling or halving.

What's double of 3.7 feet? Or half of 1.5? What is 3.7 feet even? Is it 3 feet 7 inches or 3 feet plus 7th of a feet (This last question is a nitpick)

Any of these in metric are super simple, but just harder to do in base-12.
Nice point, but it is really the typical elementary school topic "one cubic centimeter of water is one gram, one cubic decimeter is one kilograms, one cubic meter is one THOUSAND!!! kilograms"
Then in highschool it is used for physics and unit of measurements and everyone knows that you can just weight milk and water when you cook with 1kg = 1liter
Python 3 is ten (!) years old and perfectly usable, but it suffers from a well-known, but curious problem where people who occasionally use Python for some light scripting tend to go for Python 2.7. Rarely it's a choice made because of library availability, more often it is because of the perceived ubiquity of Python 2.7 installs on the target user's computer or simply because of a mindset where Python 2.7 is good enough and getting the hang of Python 3 seems like a huge obstacle (it isn't).

I'd love to know why this project specifically chose Python 2.7 too. Python 2 reaches its end of life in 2020, any new Python code should really be written in Python 3.

Reminds me of Naomi Klein's 'Shock Doctrine' book that went into how this worked during the glory days of The War Against Terror.

There are additional levers to be used, mass surveillance makes people not want to talk lest they reveal themselves to be not 100% aligned with the edicts of the regime. Plus if people aren't talking then they aren't discussing ideas, discussion is needed as without it people can end up believing very strange ideas told to them by the mass media or the conspiracy theorists, with both sets of those ideas being oppressive.

Fear is the big one though, even the smartest people succumb to it remarkably easily. It is quite funny to watch in a 'lemmings' type of way. But to watch it in a 'lemmings' type of way then you have to be in on it, a sick individual spreading the fear.

The factor argument is not really something that stands up, because you need to consider factors for an arbitrary length of something in the world, not a well defined unit of your own making.

How about 1/3rd of a tree? It's likely to be in some ungodly fractional amount of an inch, that's extremely hard to convert into feet, but in metric the decimal system just makes it super easy.
> The 2nd process only detects that the 1st process has crashed, then removes the offending datum from the queue.

Thereby hiding away the problem, diminishing the urgency of a fix while strongly favouring it's exploitation. Something that's just a DOS in an ASLR environment escalates to a remotely exploitable hole where the atacker can iterate untill they get the correct offset.

Unless a process is expected to crash or terminate by design, automatic respawning is not a good security practice.
I think the best part about Vuejs is that how simple it is and everything just works!

A vue component is still as simple as {template: 'hi'}. You don't need webpack or any transliteration for it to work. Just drop the script tag like the good old jQuery and it's working! No wonder it was so easy to switch to it.

Transition from vue1 to vue2 was really simple. I'm sure the same will be true for v3.

The code that determines truths about the data never had to be rewritten.

Like, are the two points neighbors? I mean, I'm not going to write a version of this function for a spherical board in the future. Nobody plays on a spherical board.

It's also a really boring unit test. Yes, (1,1) and (1,2) are neighbors. Do I really need to test this function until the end of time?
I used to think like that but worked towards getting a better job.

My work has millions of dollars of DNA sequencing equipment, lab experts and a states / nations worth of patients data. No side projects for 7 years and I am ok with that.

I can also take days/weeks off to read or experiment but have been grinding lately.... with a family and meetings etc running a team of 3 I basically have to take any chance I have to crank out code.
Similarly, I'm a Vue fan, and them having to keep up with and learn from React's moves keeps it solid. I am very happy with recent updates to Vue and their framework is a pleasure to develop with (the tradeoff being a certain level of power that React provides that Vue cannot obtain, but it's plenty).

Question 5 alerted me

These tools clearly don’t work for solving memory safety issues. The number of CVEs involving memory safety errors in C/C++ each year continues to increase.

Not that “don’t work” could mean “are unused” because they are too expensive, difficult, noisy with false positives, whatever. The point is they have not solved the problem, not even close.

Considering that the youth unemployment rates there correlate with policies that didn't just involve "tightening" the belt but arguably cutting off all circulation, you might want to re-think that.

(much of Europe has been victimized by the cult of "austerity", and several countries have probably lost an entire generation's productivity thanks to these policies)
What power does React offer you that Vue can't? It'd be quite interesting to hear your take on it.
Aside from how terrible this kind of "there are worse things elsewhere" argument is in general, this isn't even a choice. Like, a little belt tightening trashed the Greek economy. Utterly wrecked it. Did more damage and for longer than the 2008 global financial crisis.

Such rubbish. For starters children are not given hormones. At least not in the US, Canada, or Britain. They socially transition, change their name, change their clothing, etc. If they are lucky a doctor will consent to giving them hormone blockers. This generally takes years and multiple doctor and psychologist visits. Hormone blockers are largely safe with few minor long term consequences (lowered bone density if taken for too long).

Forcing trans individuals into going through the wrong puberty is abuse in and of itself. It causes them to have to spend tens of thousands on surgeries, it forces immense pain, it forces them to endure massive unessecary changes to their bodies.

Now as far as self I’d goes these arguments have been trotted out repeatedly without any proof. The U.K. has essentially had self id (except for taxes) for the last 14 years. There has been to my knowledge one case of abuse. This was enabled by the prison system not doing due diligence. Ireland and many other countries have had full self id for years with no issues.
There's a reason measurements have a global standard, NASA attempted to work with a team from elsewhere that used Metric, and this lead to the loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter when they couldn't work well together and had a conversion problem.

Standards make it easy for people to work with each other across borders, and most of the world uses metric already.
NASA has since then started all of their new projects on Metric too.

I do agree with your point about the fact that weights and measures can be accurate regardless of the units used, the argument against Imperial isn't about accuracy, it's about ease of conversion and changing bases of the unit scale. (Like 12 inches to a foot, but 3 feet to a yard etc)

> Verily cited insufficient consistency in the correlation between tear glucose and blood glucose

For a research project, they should have measured that in week one, and canned the project just 3 weeks in after a bunch of test results on swabs from peoples eyes couldn't be closely correlated with blood glucose after controlling for temperature and humidity in an excel spreadsheet.

How did it take years for them to figure this out? Smells of bad management to me - the engineers saying 'It's so nearly working!!' for years just to keep their jobs, and management believing them.
I think that there's another way of looking at it. My definition of intelligence would be the ability to tell what is true from what is false. The ability to predict the future is a by-product of that ability.
