Added to my reading list! I'm trying to plow through a mountain of data already. Seems that for every theory you'll find that suits 10 more follows as a consequence.

Finnish as it happens have some interesting roots as it happens. It is not an indo european language. As it happens I am in Turkey and recently found out of a theory that it was in fact related to Turkish. I believe that modern lingustic in Finland at least has discarded this theory. From what I have heard it was part of the Finnish-Ugrig tree. Might be a political aspect of it since this was made in the heyday of modern nationalistic thinking so the turks maybe wanted their version of panslavism...

As it happens I am the lookout for a more dynamic way of correcting grammar and more importantly providing predictions. It seems that doing a hardcoded model is far to much work (I'm doing this solo) and also to rigid. As it doesn't allow for play on words take intentional language changes into account and works like crap with dialects.

So I haven't gotten to the grammmmar part just yet. But would this be a part in state of the art grammar correction?

> I could throw together a spreadsheet format that is all text. […] The spreadsheet GUI then becomes a advanced text editor that, when editing that particular format, exposes advanced content-aware controls not at all unlike advanced text editors like emacs can for s-expressions.

Emacs already has that, included in org-mode: https://orgmode.org/org.html#Tables

(Emacs also has an even more spreadsheet-like mode; ses-mode, but that saves its data in less-than-purely-textual format. Or, at least, less textual than org-mode.)

The word promote means something similar to advertising or encouraging, as in intentionally marketing. I understand the context of your comment, but I don't think that context fits this particular word. Blowing up civilians is a prosecuted crime, which indicates something different than encouraging or advertising.

Thank you, but I’m also curious how that’s legal
Are those courses somewhere online? Would be good to be aware of all the dirty tricks, how to quickly spot them and defend against them.
On the contrary, I think GNOME allows people too much freedom to theme and it opens the system up to really broken theming. One of the things I love about Serenity OS is that it has one simple theming engine so everything looks the way you'd expect between applications.
I'm talking about the overall work culture in France, rather than the specific differences between being a public servant or an employee.
> This isn't about the user theming. It's about distros theming.

Distros are agents of their users. A user can't make each choice involved in assembling a distro themselves (except for the few who use LFS), so they express their choices by choosing a distro.
I actually agree that @USArmy shouldn't be banned from Twitter--I have nothing but respect for those who serve. But I also think that a literal, objective interpretation of Twitter's rules would result in a ban. Really this just shows how subjective Twitter's enforcement of the rules is.
That's fair; the major distributions usually choose better themes. There are also minor distributions, however…
But I mean it's also technically correct. How could an application developer make any kind of guarantee in the face of arbitrary theming and tinkering by the end user?
Haha! I’m not surprised :)
> People often do this when the site is known to have an impenetrable paywall, e.g., WSJ.

Not in my recent experience, which was my reason for this comment

> But the NYT's paywall is quite easy to bypass.

As I said before, why force cures on an issue instead of simply acting on preventative measures in the first instance?
More to the point, how would someone bypass this if they used an app for HN? There's no "private mode" in these and simply asking people to delete the apps cache every time they hit this problem is again a cure not a preventative measure.

> Bear in mind that the NYT is generally regarded as among the premier news sources in the world.

> But the HN community would never want a lower-quality article on a topic to be given preference due to it having no paywall.

Discussing the relative "qualities" of news outlets is a discussion in and of itself, but as I also showed there is a Forbes article that echoes many of the same points. So I don't think this piece of analysis was unique to the NYT and is of such great stature that Forbes would be arbitrarily inferior to NYT?
Are you suggesting it's better for the community, even if some can't read the article, to post a paywalled one rather than one everybody can read? I thought the point was to share news for _everybody_ on here?
It's because of credit card fraud usually, they want it to prove to credit providers that the actual card holder was present, and if not, exactly who. And I've been asked in countries across the first world, though I haven't been keeping specific note of when.
This is about free software. If a distribution insists on theming your Electron app, it can do so.
Thank you! I just remember reading about it before, but didn't know much more. Thanks for the info, and definitely glad that's changed!
It makes for an interesting game of tug-of-war with yourself sometimes as a developer. We're currently building an app and will have what we feel is a great idea that will keep people coming back. A couple days later we'll get together and discuss if said feature is actually useful or addictive or if we'd be better off and more responsible by dialing it back or removing it entirely. No idea what the result will be, but I feel good about having these conversations.
Evidence of the actions of the US Army using violence against civilians is widespread and of course not up for debate.

Therefore, by the definition of the word, these many, many, continued actions of violence against civilians = "promotion".

Your friends are enjoying an exceptional decade of high valuations and paper growth for the tech sector. Think about their personal growth when they retire. I don't think anything can compare to building something on your own from nothing. If that's what you want you can't really catch up with the rest of the world because you utterly hate it.
What is not fine is the fact that social media companies have spent years using dark patterns and tricks to get us to publish more and more of our info publicly.

Oh yes, people have always done it, via one hack or another, and as long as it was more of a "for people who really want to fiddle" it wasn't that much of an issue.

But now expectations have risen, people expect more solid behaviour and look/feel from their apps, and distros routinely have quite different GTK themes.
In our use of OKR, we was concerned about this as well. Having to use mental gymnastics to make things work is a bad sign.

The way we thought about it was that OKR should not dictate 100% of effort. OKR is about prioritizing the changes that leadership wants to make at the productivity frontier of the organization. OKRs alone are not enough to direct company efforts. Leadership also needs to specify what % of energy should be spent on OKR vs other responsibilities. The OKR effort goal could be between 0-100 for different teams, or the company as a whole.

For instance, a company that needs to pivot or will die is probably close to 100% OKR effort on all teams.

This approach gets around the need to assign OKR to every activity and allows OKR to be more salient and less diluted as a tool for alignment and goal setting.

The usual answer to that is "discoverability". You can either post your content to someone else's website and have it read/viewed/watched, or post it where virtually no one will see it so you might as well not post it.
You know what's more horrible than war? Not being able to wage war. I'm from a country (Bangladesh) that fought a war, in which about half a million people died, to free itself from Pakistan, which was treating us like second-class citizens. In doing so, we were able to separate ourselves and plot our own course. And lucky for us--as theocracy has overtaken Pakistan, Bangladesh went from being significantly poorer than Pakistan (40% lower GDP per capita) to catching up and on a path to overtake. Not to mention, being a (relatively) freer society. War is a fundamental tool in the exercise of self determination.

Most people who talk about how "horrible war is" have never been in a context where killing or being killed is preferable to the status quo.

To use a DSL without becoming a "progammer", by virtue of that fact, it needs be non-programmable: non-Turing equivalent (at the very least).
A very common misconception is that the US Army goes to war because it wants to. That is simply not how it works. The US military, unlike most other countries, are 100% under civilian control. This is a safeguard the Founding Fathers put in place to prevent a military coup, and a military dictatorship. That civilian control I refer to is of course the politicians elected into office by The People.

War is means to an end, and that end is a political one.

If you can diplomat your way to your political goal without the need for violence, then that is awesome and should always be the first option over bloodshed.

When the US Army fought the Nazis and imperial Japan, were they “promoting violence against civilians to further their causes”?
So you're okay with someone following you 24/7/365 every moment that you step outside your house? By definition, this type of surveillance data would still be public information.
The exact same argument could be made for web apps, but we still have userChrome.css and userContent.css which solves this neatly.
The opposite is true. Life is so difficult for poor people that they are willing to go get killed or go to prison rather than starve. Especially if they have medical needs.

Well, the choices were:

A. Leave the hole open for all crackers who already figured it out, thereby leaving a security hole open for possibly all time. Apple apparently weren’t fixing it; they first said they were going to, but then didn’t do it, and then ceased all communication.

B. Tell the world, thereby forcing Apple to fix the issue. This leaves all Apple users vulnerable to more people than choice A, but only, one would assume, for a limited time.

The ideal situation would of course have been C: Apple promptly (or at least within 90 days) fixes the issue upon being informed of it, before the world at large was made aware of it. But Apple chose not to pick this option. Only option A and B remained.
I agree. I think what the author was trying to say with his article is that DSLs where end users can use the system with zero training are a hoax. You can't put SQL, LateX or even Excel in front of someone with no context or help and expect them to understand how to use it. But with a few days or weeks of training, a business user can go from being helpless to being able to query their organization's database and create fancy charts.

Much like most things in software, it's key to hit the correct level of abstraction.

> So for military action to be rational the troops need to be securing access to foreign wealth/raw resources, or dealing with a somewhat imminent threat from people who want to break and steal stuff from the military's sponsor.

That's not a complete list. For example, one of the key functions of the U.S. Navy for a long time was suppressing piracy, which hindered overseas trade. It's basically a policing function--keeping things stable to enable commerce to happen. The function of the U.S. military today can be seen as an outgrowth of that.

We don't care about terrorism because we want their resources or because we think they'll take our resources. It's because terrorism is a threat to a world order that is very beneficial for us.

The problem in this case is not that private data might have been used. The problem is that the outcome of this research will be the US military developing a weapon that can be used to create or stop or influence political movements across the world (including inside the US). The question is whether it is a good idea to create such a weapon. War is inevitable but ever since time immemorial people have respected certain rules of engagement. Its difficult to draw the line in the sand to decide what type of propaganda is unacceptable, but it should be obvious that propaganda created using every dark pattern in the book, trained on 350B social media posts is probably not going to bode well for Earth's future. Its a lose-lose situation.

I've found markdown + VS Code/whatever editor perfect for it.

I agree with this. I think the author's real issue is that designing a good DSL is hard.
It EXPLICITLY says that it does not talk about users changing things on their machines, but wants it to be something the user sets instead of a distro applying by default.

It's not helpful if you're expecting to be handed polished products that do what you want. It is helpful if you want to understand what's going on.

Is there any evidence that the people who make decisions that involve thousands, if not millions, of purposeful deaths are not sociopaths?

At that scale the people who don't think in sociopathic terms will struggle to make decisions. How does someone purposefully cause even 1 death while reflecting on the general wonder of life? They'd have to be stupid. Anyone who wasn't thinking in sociopathic terms would have to choose 'more negotiation' and 'do without' over military engagement. And that isn't what happens in practice.
Wonderful. I had forgotten this from my childhood.
The company I work at does not fire people for introducing bugs (everyone introduces bugs at some point and time). We try to find out what failures in our process (dev, test, release) contributed to the failure and try fix them. Some of the causes may be large, so it takes us time to get the organizational commitment and focus to work on them, but we do act.

I have (personally) been fortunate never to have worked with an “S”, so I think the author is being overbroad.
It says distributions should not theme because it doesn't work. If theming doesn't work when a distribution does it, it doesn't work either when an end user does it for accessibility.
I'm not sure they're saying that end-users shouldn't make those decisions, simply warning that customised versions of their software won't be supported by upstream to the same degree, and thus distributers should leave the styling as-is. On the first point, to quote the article:

"If you like to tinker with your own system, that’s fine with us. However, if you change things like stylesheets and icons, you should be aware that you’re in unsupported territory. Any issues you encounter should be reported to the theme developer, not the app developer."

They could start with being honest that those aren't the DoD's only motive behind wanting such a corpus and analytical model

That would be akin to asking [insert company] if it will possibly ever use data collected from one thing on a different project at some later date. That is a complete unknown, so it wouldn't even be appropriate to put into a proposal, as they have specific formats.

NPS is a graduate study program, with a research component and long history of academic publishing. Whether that data could possibly, someday be used beyond that is completely out of scope for this solicitation. Further, if other groups in the military wanted similar data, they would likely not go to NPS for it, for a variety of reasons.

I think at the end of the day though, if someone has an assumption that everything the DoD does or messages to the world is somehow subterfuge, there's no amount of discussion that would reverse that feeling.
