> If humanity has forgotten how to read C code (and lost all knowledge of it), how are they going to read this documentation you seem to prefer?

Sure but are they going to remember something like, weird precedence rules (See: &), undefined behaviour, etc. Just because they want to reimplement a specific, small, program does not mean they want to relearn several languages. What you're saying could easily blow up from 'how to code C' to 'reading the GCC / Clang compiler source code to figure out how a specific UB was implemented, which the program in this specific case falls into', which I'm sure nobody wants to spend their weekend doing, implementing something like `xz` could simply be a midpoint in their destination, they don't want to spend weeks digging up COBOL. Have at least some consideration for the human element, jeez.

Documentation, specifically _mathematical_ documentation, is more fault tolerant than either psuedocode or actual code.

At any other time, I would agree with you, but where archivism is concerned, I do not.
Is this an apples-to-apples comparison? Wouldn't it take some work to turn hosting + cheap bandwidth into a fast, reliable* CDN?

> Don’t see why anyone would object to removal of Neo nazi content yet go along with the removal of wahabi sermons.

Setting aside the fact that this culling has nothing to do with Neo nazi content... maybe islamic extremism is a greater threat because we've had decades to implement countermeasures to a resurgence of white supremacy, whereas islamic terrorists exploit existing gaps in our society's trust model? I'm confident that had the KKK employed trucks of peace in the 50s, civil engineers wouldn't have assumed that nobody would be insane enough to drive down a pedestrian thoroughfare at full speed.

Now back to the issue at hand. This is a purge of alternative media at the behest of Vox Media, of which Comcast is the majority shareholder. This has been going on for well over a year now, the old media making demands for Youtube deplatformings and policy changes. I started listing them, but the list of crybullies is effectively a list of all media companies founded before Youtube. It is really amazing how stupid Google has been in all this, because it seems that they don't understand who their competitors are in the attention market, and how those competitors have effectively transformed them from a relatively low maintenance and legally protected platform - into a legally exposed publisher full of upset content providers. Youtube has been a loss leader for a long time, which might explain the leadership selection and the lack of corrective action for laughably stupid executive decisions... but it is well beyond the point of just being a money hole - it is in the precedent setting legal liability zone at this point. They aren't even subtle about being a publisher anymore, selectively editorializing user generated content with editor's notes under the guise of fighting disinformation.
Yes, there is disagreement about what is happening underneath, but whatever your interpretation, it is highly constrained by Bell's theorem. Quantum mechanics has to be more than just a statistical description of some underlying deterministic process, unless you are willing to throw out locality.

I'm highly partial to the Many Worlds Interpretation, as I think it's the only interpretation that takes quantum mechanics seriously. If you assume that quantum mechanics describes both the system you're studying and the measurement apparatus (including the scientist taking the measurements, and the rest of the universe), then you're led inexorably to the Many Worlds Interpretation.

Yep. I was able to pull off a UI pattern that never would have been possible in legacy css. It's pretty rad.
Correct. All that depend on the SCSI block layer, which includes libata and thus common consumer SATA drives. A NAS or better drive will come out of the box with short error time outs, typically 70 deciseconds, and quickly issue a read error with the LBA of the offending bad sector, and the RAID can then know to obtain a copy or reconstruct from parity, write the good data to the bad sector thus fixing it. Either the write works, or if it fails the drive firmware is responsible for remapping that LBA to a reserve physical sector.

In the case where the drive error timeout is longer than the SCSI block layer, it just results in a link reset. The actual problem with the drive is obscured by the reset, including the bad sector, so it never gets repaired.

Btrfs, mdadm, lvm are affected and I'm pretty sure ZFS on Linux as well assuming they haven't totally reimplemented their own block layer outside of the SCSI subsystem.

It's a super irritating problem, the kernel developers know all about it, but thus far it's considered something distributions should change for the use cases that need it. And what that means so far is distros don't change it and users using consumer drives with high error recovery times, get bitten.

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Timeout_Mismatch
I believe record-oriented data sets only give you fixed but not arbitrarily/variably-sized extents. I.e., a given file (data set) is of one record type (sort of like an RDBMS table is of one record type), and the record type then determines the extent size for the whole file.

Whereas, what I'm talking about, is more like what you get by having a sorted-set data structure in Redis, and putting arbitrary strings in it. Or storing data in LMDB with BASIC-like numeric labels as keys. Rather than a tabular representation, your data store is a heap, with a tabular index set aside to point into it.

(Of course, you can emulate arbitrary-length records over fixed-length records, as Postgres does with its TOAST tables, or—in the small—as UTF-8 does with runes. But in the record-orientation implementation, that’s something that would be exposed to the developer, requiring them to solve the problem themselves or through a library; rather than the file system just showing you arbitrary-length records from the start. And, if you can’t rely on other users doing that work, you can’t really use it as an interchange format.)
I run a user-content website, and hate advertising too. But, the website costs $15,000 a year in expenses to run, and community donations bring in $3,000. Advertising generates $50,000.

I stay with safe ad categories (no drugs, alcohol, gambling, adult content, etc), and use standard display sizes. No audio ads, background ads, popups, etc. I'm sure the site could generate twice the revenue with background advertisements.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a slightly different perspective. Although I hate advertising as much as you, my site doesn't work with community donations. So, I use advertising to keep it alive, and try to draw a line somewhere I think is appropriate.
Linux and fallocate() allows precisely this - we use this to "log locally" for applications, and a "tail this asap and publish to kafka then delete locally" helper.

I can easily understand 80% Siraiki. It is some words that I cannot understand due to peculiar ‘tongue bent’; but my friends from Malwa region of Punjab can understand it fully. Punjabi differs from rest of the languages due to being a strong tonal language, which are not present in any other Indian language. Some researchers have said it is due to specialized alphabets denoted to tones, and also due to loss of aspiration. Punjabi borrows very generously from Farsi.
I realize you are not the original poster but it sounds like your view would be the same even if we lived in a world without children. In this case it’s not really about helping children it is about advancing your desired outcome and that annoys me a bit.

The bigger issue is do you really think things will be better this way. Services like Google Search, Maps, newspapers would all become pay-walled. I honestly would personally like this outcome, as I have enough income to pay an extra $20-30 / month for these features. However for those in poverty 15-20% in the US and much more world wide this would be a major hardship. I really don’t think we want all of these currently ad supported things to be pay only in future, which is the inevitable outcome of banning advertising.
In my experience the prime example of something that works better using grid then flexbox is with description lists `<dl>`:

dl {
align-items: baseline;
display: grid;
grid-gap: 1.5ex 1.5em;
grid-template-columns: fit-content(12ch) 1fr;
}

dl dt {
font-weight: 600;
grid-column: 1;
}

dl dd {
grid-column: 2;
}

This will put all your terms in the first column and all your descriptions in the second. All aligned nicely and creates a new row even if you have two `<dt>`s or `<dd>`s in a row. A flex solution would quickly fail once the terms get irregular.

I've been using Google Play Music with my own music collection uploaded into it, and I've loved how easy it makes it to play my music collection on any of my devices now. I no longer have to mess about with syncing my music files across my devices, use a different music player on each device, and inevitably have to re-create my playlists on each device because they don't support the same playlist format.

However, it bugs me that Google Play Music isn't under my control at all. There's a few features from Rhythmbox I would like in it (around how it handles queuing music while listening to a collection), I wish I could share my music collection with my partner, and I wish I could synchronize playing music across multiple devices. Listening to music is something I do during a big fraction of my waking hours; I'd like to be able to edit the code for that. Also Google is discontinuing GPM in favor of YouTube Music at some point, which doesn't yet have the private collection features of GPM and it's unclear what features from GPM are going to be copied over. I really don't like not knowing what's going to happen to an application I use in so much of my life. Regardless of how it turns out, it feels like I've made a mistake to find myself in this position.

It disappointed me that there don't seem to be good open source solutions for "play my private music collection from the cloud". That's not the sort of thing that the classic Linux / open source community focuses on for example, which I think is a sign of it falling behind the times. I'd started thinking that I would love an open source GPM alternative that contained the cloud collection functionality, and it's awesome that this project looks like it's going for this open-source cloud philosophy that seems to have been un-pursued.

Yes Guided Access is great. I default it to a 20min timeout. So if I let my 8 year old play Minecraft on it, and he runs off to some corner of the house to binge, I don't have to worry about hunting him down. He'll get a nice warning around 3min out, and then the phone will essentially brick itself. It's great knowing that he will absolutely be coming back to me with the phone in 20min.
At one large television station I worked for, the policy was to destroy everything after two weeks. The only thing kept was the video that aired. Reporters could keep their own notes, but only on their own devices.

The news director's thinking was "they can't subpoena what we don't have."

This was in a city where the local police would subpoena at the drop of a hat, and used it as a harassment tool. The goal was to keep the subpoena storms from getting in the way of people actually reporting news.
Nope, they recently removed that status code.

By itself, no. If the persistent memory is considered physical memory and there's virtual memory on top of it—but the part of the virtual-memory map that represents the persistent memory is itself persisted in the persistent memory—then you'd have something quite similar.

It'd be similar to—but faster than—what you'd get if you could both talk to, and past, the flash controller for a regular SSD, allowing you to both see an LBA block device, and see the physical extents + allocation map managed by the flash controller underlying the block device. (But you'd need to be able to write to the allocation map yourself, without making the flash controller fall over, which, well, good luck.)
How about you just look at the paper?[0]

The positions of symbols were randomized, and they used symbols previously unseen by bees.

The concept of three-ness (as a cardinal number) is just that: being able to identify sets of objects which can be put into 1-to-1 correspondence with the following set of asterisks: * * * .

The bees, according to the experiment, can do that.

Is this our understanding of three-ness? Maybe not; there's also the notion of ordinals (as in 3 is what follows 2, 2 is what follows 1, and 1 is where you start). We have at least two different notions for numbers. But the notion tested in the paper is good enough to do most mathematics with (cardinals and ordinals are kind of the same until you reach infinity).

For blown insulation (I think you mean fibers, not expanding foam), I think the installation method integrates a basic check, i.e. you cut small access holes on both ends of a space you are filling, and it is pretty obvious whether bulk material makes it to the other end to spill out. You probably need a stud-finder or similar to map the spaces between rafters, fire blocking, etc.

The best way to plan or inspect an insulation job is to use an infrared camera to observe temperature gradients. You can see hot or cold spots where heat is conducting or convecting through the structure.

The fact that we want to get each other off at all is driven by evolution, a species that doesn't have an urge to get each other off goes extinct pretty quickly.

> It is an inherent part of the human language faculty, it is normal usage

If it is normal usage then there is nothing to fear right? This logic makes no sense because I don't see this happening with other regional languages vis-a-vis Hindi.

> a danger illustrated by numerous case studies all over the world

Are you telling me that Hindi speaking people are deliberately targeting Tamil and Malayalam while giving a free pass to other linguistic communities? Why don't I see Assamese or Odia people having similar issues with Hindi? Surely they should also feel threatened by Hindi right? But they don't! They are thriving and they continue to speak their own language, maintain their own culture and traditions and also know to speak and write Hindi!

India has a 5000 year recorded history. Never has any language in these 5000 years been deliberately destroyed. I am a Kannadiga. I speak Kannada at home and yet have studied Hindi as my 3rd language and am fluent in it. It hasn't destroyed my culture, tradition or language. I don't see Hindi as a danger. If at all it has enriched my life, my thinking and given me a greater perspective.

But I am open minded enough to know other perspectives. Even if I disagree 100%. Can you share links to some of those studies? I find it hard to believe that any study can come to a conclusion on one Indian language being a danger to another language.
