Good to see progress on this, I'd hate to have to trouble-shoot this one.

From Bugzilla, sounds like ZFS is affected, but can correct it:

> In my case (kernel 4.19.6 and a 2-vdev/6-drive raidz1) doing an rsync to/from the same ZFS filesystem would generate ~1 error every 5s or so (on a random drive on the pool).

(ZFS still manages to surprise me, with some of the shortcomings it's easy to forget how often it's saved me, although in this case I'm not running 4.19)
Why, was Buddha around after Jesus then?
I agree. My thinking is that the only place where any desktop app is still actively developed is the enterprise (and even there the trend is to get everything web based), and this is predominantly a windows environment. Outside of the enterprise everything has gone mobile where wpf isn't really an option (solutions like Xamarin aren't fun to use).

My guess is that desktop apps will come back with pwa+wasm. Then you can have a rich client that is fully cross platform, single code base, same behavior everywhere, easy to deploy, written in the language of your choice. But that doesn't involve wpf...

Look at Sri Lanka, very bloody civil war between Buddhist majority and Hinduist minority. Atrocities done on both sides, ie at the end when rebels were losing and surrounded, state army was shelling civilians left and right. Another example - history of Ladakh province in northern India - conquered by buddhist armies some +-1000 years ago. Buddhist army, interesting term.

I also had this view that buddhism is a faith that promotes peace - which might be true, but you still have the same human beings behind it. History proves my naive idea wrong.

Owning a car in city such as Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt, Prague, Brno... is significant pain, and it costs you a lot to even keep that car on the street (if you can find a place - you can't). As a result, people in many historical cities with compact greater city centres (where there simply is not enough land to even theoretically accommodate 1 car per household) simply don't own a car, because why. Probably more than half of the people living in the building where I do don't have a car, many of my coworkers don't...

And I'm paying taxes because the government has promised to solve the infrastructure problem for me - and that definitely includes parking, not only at home, but also at all possible destinations.

What's the point of a government-ran infrastructure otherwise? I could've built my own parking space by myself without any laws if I needed it, the point of having a government monopoly in this business is that we have roads and parking spaces that everyone can use.

If I'm forced to pay for something then I should be able to use it. I shouldn't be told to suck it just because I came too late.

How could a bank possibly require two hundred parking spaces? For a branch in a small town? There's only about 9,000 people in Sandpoint!

Edit: ah, it's a multistorey office building, so that's presumably 1:1 employee parking, not a branch with customer parking?

I was trying to work out how this would play in the UK, and in the first instance it's most likely the bank would shut: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/caroline-flint-... (Thorne has a population of 16k and no bank branch).

There is always a back-and-forth about parking availability, charges, and business taxes in relation to the UK high street. But the usual model is either a small amount of on-street parking or a charged-for public or private car park.
>Copenhagen, Denmark, so the entire stay was ~~free~~ subsidized.
They made the current model the way it is on purpose, so that it is difficult to turn off and the average user won't do it. Following that logic it's not exactly hard to see why they'll never respect that header unless their arm is twisted. This is the sort of ethics that should be expected from companies.

To my mind, the DNT header is nice to have but almost breathtakingly naive. The real solutions lie in the direction of having the lack of tracking be enforced by the client, who (you hope) has a vested interest in their own privacy.

> I found simple setup effective
> my config is now ~4000 lines

We have critical production services which are a magnitude of lines fewer than your "simple config".

There's a reason I linked my own init.el: I'm not talking about something I have no idea about. It's quite short and quite extensively documented. And even there you see: somethign is set as global vars, something is buffer local args, something is inited through hooks, something is inited through hooks and then thorough a global var (doesn't work the other way around), something requires a lambda for a config, something requires a list of values, something is inited through a macro, some are just elisp macros you have to write yourself. And so on and so on.

Once you start extending emacs to be your personal programming environment (especially a multi-language environment), you'll run into exactly what I'm talking about: it's not a simple system. There are the often arcane ways of configuring emacs itself, and then there are often arcane ways to configure the modes and packages. And often these are undocumented, or specific ways to configure them are passed down in oral tradition from one init.el to another.

Even in this post you see multiple people recommending not just differenet packages, but different combinations of packages (each has to be configured separately).

And when something goes wrong? Good luck figuring it out.
The amount usually thrown around is 200'000 - 300'000$. However I can't find a firm source.

Unfortunately most TVs are "smart" TVs (the dumbest idea ever, seen from a tech's point of view - you're stuck with whatever is in the TV, unlike if you just connect your Pi (or even Chromecast) etc. through HDMI).
But non-"smart" TVs are still out there, fortunately. I found a very nice Philips DVB-T "dumb" TV. And it was quite a bit cheaper than the equivalent sized Samsung "smart" TV. It does everything I need (and the guide is broadcasted over DVB-T, so no net is needed for that. A Pi connected to HDMI makes it smart, but my way.)
All of the European cities I've been to are full of parked vehicles. Someone got to own all them.

Anyway we were talking about parking norms for newly commissioned buildings, and "you can't find parking place on the street" isn't really an argument against it.
Most people here rent, and the cars tend to be in the outer parts of the city. There are certainly wealthly people in the city, but the kind of building I live in is not unusual: Sixteen apartments, more than half car-free, some who have a car elsewhere, and about four cars here. Some have bought or rented centrally instead of in a cheaper area where they could also afford a car, some could afford both living here and a car, but consider a car to be a net nuisance.

The 9 Best Bitcoin Casinos (2019)
We are not saying that there are no cars. We are saying that a significant portion of the people in these cities don't have a car. You saw cars of the other half.

I'm saying that it's weird to require parking spaces in cities where there is a problem with housing prices when a lot of people don't have a car and thus prove that it's possible. It even completely goes agains the goal of reducing cars in cities.
It depends on the population density more than city size, I think.

I grew up in eastern Poland - it's a region with few big cities about 50 km apart on average, but there's well developed public transport between them, because countryside is relatively densely populated (even if it's just a chain of villages - it adds up).

Half the population of these villages commute to the big city 20-30 km away every day. People still own cars because it's convenient for shopping and family trips, but they don't need to use them every day for commute.

On the other hand you can have medium or big cities with mostly empty countryside between them (like in western Poland), and a car is required if you happen to live between these cities.

For reference - Poland has about 120 people per square km and is near the average for EU. USA has about 35 people per square km.

How to save yourself from unwanted pregnancy
This breaks a lot of things like being able to do auto updates, which is critical for security patches. The first version you install to Softalicious (or whatever else) better be good because you'll be living with that version on your network for a long time.

In my specific case, my app actually isn't federated, it's truly peer to peer — I don't have this problem at all. It doesn't require any servers, just install it to your computer like you'd install a regular app, and it'll work its magic.

It's basically Usenet, but your local computer (and everyone else's) is a server, and they patch their content graph from each other as it updates.
Your first guess seems correct.

This is how the world is today. We have strong opinions, and rarely do we care to actually update them. And it's not only because we are stubborn, but also because most of the public media doesn't add any valuable insights; it just picks one of several simple and well-known messages, and yells that message at us. So it's pretty clear what it's trying to say from just reading the title.
What tax do motorists in the UK pay to cover parking?
It happens. Mostly in cases where people are repeatedly annoyed by them, or don't like the stereotypical rider, etc.

But, in general, people tend not to destroy stuff just because they can, just like they don't kill old people just because they can't defend themselves, and don't consider "soft paywalls" meaningless just because they can easily fool them.

Cars can also easily be scratched, and it's not one of the major problems of humanity. Dockless bike-sharing has been a thing for over a decade. And while there is some vandalism, it's not prohibitive. In fact, people have left their bikes in public spaces for decades.

Society would brake down if everything required physical defences against any possible threat. Luckily, people tend to be more Russeauean than Hobbian.

Word is hard for detail-oriented people like programmers. I want to be able to control and tweak every single bit just the way I like it, and it frustrates me that it just seems to think it knows better a lot of the time, or that it doesn't let me undo its mistakes in any obvious way.

But when it comes out at the end, it usually looks fine. I try to remember that it's the paper-based outcome that Word is designed around, so ultimately for the intermediate digital artefacts "just fine" is good enough.

I'm not saying it's right, but most day-to-day users are probably fine with it.

Nobody in the community. Context is key.
> Why don't you like Word?

Here are my main reasons:

- It does not allow me to make selections where I point my mouse cursor.

- It breaks between versions of itself and intentionally breaks interoperability with nearly all third party software, especially when tables and formulas are involved.

- Formula and math editing and typesetting is abysmal.

- The quality of typesetting is abysmal. I know because I once had to convert an article with formulas written in LaTeX by hand into Word. The editor of the journal was very ashamed of the quality of the result in comparison to the original.

- Images and other boxes inserted into the text almost never work in the intended way. They slip between pages, get the wrong flow around them, cannot be selected, etc.

- It is practically impossible to import documents produced in other tools reliably into Word or reliably export Word documents to be processed with other tools (like e.g. LaTeX). Even pandoc cannot compile to Word files that work reliably enough. Some of the errors that occur are nearly unfixable, e.g. bizarre things strange characters in lines that cannot be erased, stretched and distorted characters.

- Horrible default auto styles.

- Ribbon interface and other user interface problems that make Word one of the most unintuitive pieces of software on earth (many people just don't realize this, because they have been using it for so long and so often)

- relatively expensive

> It's not a more pleasant developer experience than sum (Option) types, it's a more pleasant experience with sum types.

Having worked with both Scala, Haskel, Kotlin and Typescript I disagree, the dev experience for Kotlin/Typescript is miles ahead for optionality. It seems like a small difference vs something like do notation or for comphrehension but it really adds up.

It hard to explain until you've tried it. The most succinct way would be to say that optional code looks and feels nearly identical to non-optional code, instead of unwrap/do-notation which makes a very large syntactical difference.

Take a look at a piece of async Kotlin co-routine code v.s. Java/Scala (Completable)Future, same effect.

An argument could be that the soul is not constrained by the law of phisics or even logic and ultimately unknowable.
