This should be OK for pretty much everyone, outside the implementation of Chicken and its libraries.

(There's actually a historical headache in Schemes due to not standardizing keyword objects over a decade ago, and that headache gives implementations some leeway, IMHO. Lots of people really wanted keywords, enough to implement them without a standard or even coordination. So there's a weird messy set of semi-compatible and unnecessarily complex (and sometimes visually ugly) ways of doing keywords in various Schemes. Given that situation, it's difficult to "break" anything further, regarding interpretation of any syntax that looks like keywords. For example, as a Scheme programmer, you probably wouldn't have written any code in the last decade in which you require `:foo` to read as a symbol, at least not without knowing that's non-portable and something you'll have a good chance of needing to change later.)

Why exactly is this unrealistic? I think Trump's tax cut was $1 trillion annually. So a one time $1,5 trillion payments doesn't sound too unrealistic to me.

It can even be done without Congressional approval.

> "the Higher Education Act in 1965 gives the secretary of education the power to write off federally owned student debt unilaterally, under the “compromise and settlement” provision. Doing so would wipe out an enormous financial burden on the working and middle classes overnight. The Department of Education could also purchase the roughly $64 billion in privately held student debt, then use the same authority to write it off."

With 4GB of RAM, you'd even be able to use ZFS.

Does it use ECC memory? If not, you should not use ZFS. Without ECC memory, ZFS carries the nasty risk of writing good data with a bad checksum, leading to data loss which would not occur in other filesystems (those that do not try to correct errors on the fly like ZFS).

Kubernetes: Shared storage volume between multiple pods on Amazon
If one actor threatens to kill another on stage as part of a play, then says exactly the same words in the same tone to the same person off stage, the former threat isn't real and the latter case is real.

That's because the threat isn't just the words; it's also a question of intent - and in the absence of time-travelling MRI machines to objectively observe people's thoughts in the past, inferring the intent from context we can observe.

Of course, you could argue that having laws that depend on people's only-indirectly-observable mental state is a bad idea - that announcing your intention to blow up an airport should either always be legal, or never be legal. If you're interested in such questions, you might enjoy reading about the Twitter Joke Trial [1] over one such incident.

An extremely slow horde.
The counterpoint to DRY doesn't seem to have a name, but it very much exists. I know it under the names of 'oversharing' or 'premature sharing'.

Practically, this tends to extend the question of DRY: Is the code the same in two places, and will the code /change/ in the same way in these two places? Can we delay sharing this code to have more time to figure out if the code changes in the same way?

Maybe currently two integrations with two external applications are just the usual socket/newline separated json at the moment, so you could share the implementation. But maybe one integration gets replaced with thrift, one gets replaced with protobuf and suddenly you end up with an abstraction that's full of <if service.protobuf...> and that'll be ugly.

What I am curious to know is what stops someone using this to get around spam filtering.

Ie send something that gets through the spam filter then change it later.

Also on another note I'm pretty sure google marks your emails as spam if you say things like "getting off gmail" or "switching provider".

I have been sending emails to my mother for ages from my own domain (and email server), none of them have ever been marked as spam. One day I sent her an email about switching provider with a mention of some of the good ones on privacytools.io.

That email remarkably got marked as spam. It is a good thing she checks her spam box, but now I think I have all the evidence I need to get her to switch. Also, none of the subsequent emails I ever sent her got marked as spam.

libhybris is a complicated issue. It can easily be a crutch that sabotages the most key promising quality of the project -- of sustainability of the devices, due to maintainable mainline open source.

I'm currently thinking the best bet for PostmarketOS is to try to attract programmers who are committed to the mainline open source goal.
Yep, I tend to prefer using the text type in most cases (in Postgres in particular, both varchar and text have the same performance characteristics with varchar effectively being just the text type with a check constraint on the length). I'm not super strict about it though - it's more just a preference and there's some good arguments I've seen around 'signalling intent' by using fixed length text types vs "unlimited" length text types.

Rust is OOP but you define in the method signature whether or not that method mutates state. So if a method has the signature that includes `&self`, you know it doesn't mutate. Whereas `&mut self` indicates that it does (or at least could).

Code is like a bunch of cords. Each time you add something, it's like adding another cord, and at some point you will have "spaghetti", and you pull out every cord, unravel it, connect everything neatly and use zip-ties to hold everything in place. The problem is when you use the wrong abstraction, eg. you start zip-tie:ing before even knowing what other cables to add. So don't be afraid of using the copy/paste function. Make it easy to unravel.

If a US citizen in the 1960s sent a leaflet containing some thought crime to the Soviet Union should the US be under any obligation to extradite that person to the USSR?

Interesting example, and as I understand it, the USSR would have considered it a crime and would have requested extradition. That is their right as a sovereign nation, and it's the reason why extradition treaties exist. That's kind of the point I was making - countries get to decide what crimes have taken place within their borders, and extradition treaties are the way we decide whether or not we move people to where they need be in order to answer for their actions. Geography has never really been a way of avoiding prosecution (but using the lack of extradition treaties between rival nations absolutely has).

> But the idea that Email can't evolve and change and should stay exactly the way it was, pretty much assures its death in the dust bin of history, the same way we lost USENET, LISTSERV, or even XMPP. Old standards didn't evolve quickly, users wanted silly features while neckbeards said don't violate purity of my abstraction.

Also the things you've mentioned there are different things. XMPP was never as widespread as email and is not in any way related to the other two. I am hoping Matrix picks up here.

LISTSERV is simply mailing list software, these do exist today as they did and are used by many open source projects. The most popular one being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Mailman

USENET, does still exist, particularly for binaries. It's decline was mostly because of the cost to run the services, spam and the fact that smaller web forums were an alternative.

> And today, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, WeChat, iMessage, et al, are the predominant messaging platforms, and email is for spam, receipts, and grand parents.

Not in business it's not, particularly where both parties want to have a conversation and not let those platforms in on the conversation. That is the majority of business and government conversation.

Email is not going anywhere.

Absolutely. If you saw it over and over you might start just reading it as "is-prime" instead of going through the process of mentally interpreting it each time. But what about similar-looking functions with similar functionality? You want a programmer to go and make you a promise that it has the meaning (if not the implementation) you're thinking about. That promise is the same as "code-hiding".

I'm from Europe and therefore missed out on an absolute ton of games from Japan through the 90s. Bought a PSP on launch for the sole purpose of playing Japanese Super Nintendo games in an environment more convenient than the family computer.

Think I bought about 10 PSP games in total (although the library was pretty damn good looking iirc) but its my favourite machine of all time purely because of how it granted me access to all these PS1 and SNES games that never game out in Europe.

Still use the PSP quite a bit for emulation (and Lumines), the original models have aged pretty beautifully imo.
It would be that on Debian that already has the package (maybe Ubuntu does as well as they're similar). If not I suppose I'll figure out how to add it to my package manager first.
That might be it. I think I'll just buy another one and try again.

As if it wasn't already the case.

They'd sell their soul for more (perceived) convenience or a better way to fill their narcissistic ego trips.

I have a 4K-capable 40 inch TV in a standard living room (for Europe). 4K videos look slightly crispier than full HD ones.

While I could have a slightly larger TV, I think that for typical domestic use 4K's improvement is marginal because people are not sitting 50cm from the screen and room sizes are limited.
