"no one wants a language to stagnate"

In the sense of the language itself, I do. The language community should keep growing, libraries, frameworks, etc., but I'd like to see more languages qua languages declare themselves "done" sooner and more often, or failing a sudden cutoff, start seriously raising the bar on the next "new feature". There's a lot of good languages out there that were great in years 5-15 and then choked on all the features they kept adding to the core language.
Countless numbers of cultures have risen and then faded away during the course of history. The parts deemed by others as being worth keeping are assimilated into the cultures that survive. This has been going on long before there was an internet or large media to expose a "common identity".
Only those who feel unconfident will say so, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand~~~ LMAO~~~
If they could ask anyone to update the site because they host it and it belongs to them, you're right, you shouldn't have to provide a VPAT.

However, they should include in any new contract for contract work that the end result be accessible according to their standards (WCAG 2.0 AA). A VPAT could be used as a template for documenting the accessibility of the newly completed work but there are better options. If they wanted documentation of the accessibility of the existing site, before you make any changes, and they wanted it in VPAT format, again, there are better tools but that should be considered separate, additional work.

I've been wondering if wood or some kind of injection molded cellulose product might make a comeback. Decomposing plastics would probably help spur that along.
That is awesome, it took me awhile to start using mine. I just put together a pi hole, plex server on Rockpro64 and I just bought a tinker board from Frys for $50. Runs a bit hot though

What software are you running? I have been using Dietpi for almost all my projects. Plex comes native( as an option to install) and a bunch of other software.
There’s climbing mountains, and then there’s paying $50,000 to line up to climb past a bunch of bodies that were never recovered, presumably because people pay $50,000 to summit Everest, not to retrieve dead bodies.

What kind of brain injury do you have to have to want to pay $50,000 to stand in line for that?
> ... I don't have these experiences when I deal with the private sector, and those dealings are also quite a lot cheaper than with the public sector. ...

You are aware that much of what you just described, road construction, government websites, and many forms of traffic enforcement, is handled by private sector contractors?
I got it running an OpenVPN server, love it!
> they are discouraged at a young age by the school systems and parents who are worried that dialects like these are seen as "unintelligent" and will cause everything from bullying by children at school, to being turned down for interviews, jobs and even college.

I have two girls, and struggle with this.

At home, our language us is very different from when we're in public. I make it a point to correct my girls' grammar when outside the home (or when it's particularly egregious, like subject/verb disagreement), but generally don't at home. "I ain't gonna" is acceptable at home, but "I'm not going to" is expected elsewhere.

This approach is based on my own experiences.

On one hand, as an adult, I feel like I fit in well with the people around me even though I seem to have little in common with them - I'm a remote developer, and most of the people I interact with on a daily basis are tradesmen or other blue-collar workers. I'm convinced this is because I look, act, and sound like they do.

When I'm interacting with my colleagues I enunciate much more clearly and my grammar is significantly better, to the point that I sometimes wonder if my sentence structure makes me sound like I'm trying too hard. It seems to be effective.

On the other, I have a close family member who has struggled throughout her education with both grammar and spelling. She's a high school teacher now, but had to take her certification test numerous times due to repeatedly failing the language portion. She never learned to switch between colloquial and formal language, and never really developed a feel for what is correct grammar and what's not. She also has issues spelling many words. This could be because she is younger than I am and was taught using a different method (she learned "sight words" first; I learned phonics), or it could be because I read a lot more in childhood than she did.

At the end of the day, I want my children to be able to speak at the same level as their professional peers, and I want their peers to be educated professionals. I also want them to be able to self-identify with the people they grew up with, and not to immediately associate a dialect of any sort with intelligence.
I run a grid of about 250 Pi 2 and 3s across several offices and datacenters. They are the backbone of our graphics playback system (i.e. slates) and low latent IPTV system. Users can subscribe to any channel necessary without expensive re-encoding or RF antenna systems. I absolutely love them and 4k60 HEVC is a huge upgrade for the 4!
Sure, if you're doing CPU-only tasks, Jetson Nano is A57 and Pi4 is A72 which is maybe twice as fast, but if you can offload anything to the GPU at all (media encoding, neural networks, matrix operations) you'll probably get some enormous gains in efficiency with the Nano.

At home: emulating old games, wifi hot spot (not needed so much these days) for hotel rooms with wired internet, and a plex server to serve videos to the kid's iPads in the car during road trips.

At work: show Grafana dashboards on our 4k monitors. Currently using model 3 which doesn't like 4k so much. I'm looking forward to upgrading to the 4 in this case, see if they are more reliable. The 3's like to crash/reboot periodically and really struggle to drive the 4k display at a decent speed.
Situation has been resolved as of now.

Keep Conway's Law in mind. You usually can't solve organizational problems with technology alone. If your staffing structure is not also "distributed", then making systems that are could hurt you.
I would say it only helps because it prevents (or reduces) the amount of additional green house gasses released in the atmosphere. I doubt converting wind energy to electricity and then "storing" that electricity/energy somehow and somewhere (such that it doesn't turn into heat) is a stupidly inefficient way of using that wind mill to reduce further global warming. Use the electricity, and don't use the fossil fuel that would have otherwise been used.

Related question I guess for someone with more knowledge about this... If green house gas concentrations were as they were before the industrial revolution, but we were outputting in the current world's energy consumption in heat, what would the temperature rise be? I'm guessing it's almost negligible, with the sun's radiation hitting the earth in one hour supposedly being enough to power the entire earth for a year.
What does encrypted/authenticated DNS gain you? If the application protocol is encrypted and authenticated like https then faking DNS responses just results in a connection that is closed immediately because authentication fails. Encrypting is also useless unless you use a proxy/VPN because otherwise the connection target leaks via the IP header anyway when you open the connection.

Don't be. It is a very well paying job which rewards the efforts put in.
This event should not have happened in the first place and it was demonstrably mis-handled in several critical ways.

The fact that the police has responded in the proper way has nothing to do with how KPN has handled this so far and it immediately puts in question the retiring of the siren system used for emergencies, which for cost-cutting reasons has been replaced by the national mobile phone alert system, which apparently does not work when you really need it.
Law degree but yea it was insanely stupid. But I didn’t have 264k dollar. The government loaned it to me.
But to be fair, they should be positively correlated. Unless the world has beaten us down into nihilism and we think merit doesn't even tend to be rewarded.
Which is incredibly susceptible to someone with an agenda who wants to spin an narrative and knows how to leverage social media.

It's tailor made for propaganda. Joe Schmoe who is actually there doesn't know how to inflate his likes and SEO his account. His voice gets drowned out by the people who are getting paid to push a particular viewpoint. There is no editor providing oversight. No ethics board. No neutral point of view. It's just whomever shouts the loudest and gets there first.
"The idea that somehow shareholders are at the centre of corporate concern is shown to be a sham, yet again, by this."

I disagree. Most publicly traded companies are at the whim of their shareholders. If the stock price takes a dive, they need to make changes immediately to remedy the situation.

"In essence, we have a form of capitalism that claims to be for shareholders and yet that is clearly a sham. No wonder it is not working."

How is it not working? We live in the best time with the lowest poverty rates in the history of humanity. I can open up an account to trade on the stock market today with very little money.
Nobody specified what innovation must occur. Nobody even said you had to make diesel engines. They just said if you want to sell diesel engines they must be this good.

Anyway, remember VW themselves had engines that met the spec just fine. They only cheated so they could omit the AdBlue system.
ExxonMobil sits at the epicenter of one of the top 3 purest water tables in the nation, squat on the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge. [0]

The insane amount of water they use for oil refinement is causing the entire surrounding area to leech hard water. What was once the softest table in the region is now becoming infested with salt water.

I have seen the water table schematics, I used to live a couple of miles from the plant and I can tell you that even in the last decade it's gotten noticeably worse.

This is objectively worse than the alternative, using hemp for biodiesel and bioplastics which requires far less water and doesn't ruin the environment.

Hot code upgrades are one of the Erlang features that helps me keep headcount down on our operations team. Appcues is three years into running Elixir in prod, and we still have not had to set up blue/green deploys because the built-in upgrade and rollback feature is so robust. For the first year and a half of that, we had a single platform developer (hi!) supporting dozens of servers and hundreds of customers. Hot upgrades are very, very useful.
We should really trust the openly left-leaning search monopoly on it's self certified neutrality - that's just common sense. If we start doubting the neutrality of our monopolies, how will they even gaslight us into submission?
Last year I listened to an interesting program on Swedish public radio about this topic. There was a researcher there who said something similar; that Swedish youth today are more likely to answer that they are depressed even though if you looked the actual questions they were not saying that they were less happy than previous age groups that had answered similar but did not see themselves as depressed. There was an expectation that they should be depressed because there are so many stories about kids these days being depressed.

It could be a self fulfilling prophecy for some and if you add internet where a lot of people tend to make their diagnosis their whole life. My guess is that if you are feeling depressed it can be very comforting to talk with other people in the same state but I'm not sure how healthy it is in the long run if you spend a lot of time in such communities.

That said I think it is also a rougher way to grow up in many ways than it was for me. Your life might be hyper connected but I think for some that will only suck more when they are lonely outcasts and see everyone else's (appearance of) happy life on Instagram.
I think it's like 2.4k ASNs at this point, each with 10s-1000s of IPs, I guess you can make a list from that but it's going to be as unreliable as the Cloudbleed list was. Also not always easy to do reverse hostname lookups from the IPs to see the site names.
Some grunge and altrock, no doubt marketed / targeted directly at the youth of the time, pushed those sorts of tropes. The songs aren't bad, perse, in retrospect, but I'm able to view them very differently today than how I felt about them as a youth.
I attempted suicide at fifteen years old (~2009)--three schools, two countries, and dad had lost his job twice in just three years. I'd say for me it was entirely based on social isolation and lack of self worth. I hadn't been able to participate in any sports teams or academics like I wanted since I started over twice back-to-back (in different countries, even). Very hopeless time for me and didn't feel like our family was ever going to get out of that situation.

Computers did not help me because I spent long hours on them in my room alone and if I didn't have them I likely would have found some group at school to fit in with.

That sort of nepotism can be a problem. It's why Amazon's search sucks so bad. In the book 'The Everything Store', it tells the story of when a team at Amazon responsible for something else saw how bad search was and decided to fix it. So they built a prototype with Elasticsearch and whatnot. It worked great. The dude at the head of the search team, good friends with Bezos, got all territorial and angry. Bezos solution? Have a test between the two solutions to determine which was best. Bezos idiocy? He let the head of the search team decide who won. So, no surprise, the head of the search team said the search team won. So the improved search was shut down and the garbage search we all have to deal with regularly got to stay.

Once you've got that kind of thing going on, only retirements and deaths can effect good change at an organization.

Is it? There are more forums on the internet than there have ever been. It's not like FB and Twitter are the only 2 platforms that exist.

I'm skeptical that "breaking them up" would really do anything. People would continue to use the thousands of other platforms that are out there, but there would still be a desire for a sufficiently abstract social network that another one would grow. Then there would be calls to break that one up...

To fight against large social networks is to fight against natural human organization and interaction. Attempting to is pointless and probably even harmful, since the velocity of good ideas would be reduced along with the bad.
I haven't used RP before but I am planning to get one and use it as Voip server. I wanted to start with blogs but most of them are outdated.
Well, today I learnt something too! Thanks!
>And the GI bill comparison is disingenuous because it's disgusting to compare the millennial English literature major whining about being unemployable to men who fought and died in Europe and the Pacific. It's not a comparison of pre-GI bill veterans to post-GI bill veterans that you are actually making.

Sorry, is it still "disgusting" to compare those English majors "whining" to American war criminals that murdered 2 dozen Iraqi civilians [1] and then faced no real punishment? Why do they get to reap the benefits of the G.I. bill? That isn't even getting into the dozens, maybe hundreds of war crimes committed by American soldiers that then get to go home and go to college for free. Why do my tax dollars have to pay for some overgrown manchild with the emotional intelligence of an alligator snapping turtle to go to college because he couldn't make it in any other field than killing people? Explain to me why I should support and reward murderers.

By your logic, the GI Bill incentivizes young people going to fight in jingoistic US wars (e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, and hey look, maybe Iran) and somehow you think that people studying English literature is more morally hazardous?

See how easy it is to derail the discussion when you aren't interested in actually talking about the topic at hand?

I don't think 'mainstream television' tries to bait staffers into committing voter fraud, fabricates accusations of underage sexual assault, or dresses up as Bin Laden to make some point about border crossing in Mexico. This "whatabout mainstream media" falls apart as a deflection because the laundry list of things that James O'Keefe has done puts him pretty far into his own camp as being a professional troll.
Interesting! When I worked for a coffee roaster, there were two kinds of people looking for the Silvia: home espresso enthusiasts with too much money and cheapskates looking to add espresso-based drinks to their businesses.

>the popular hacker mentality of “move fast and break things.”

This is really slanderous to the hacker ethos - this is really more of a startup-cult slogan. :)
I use one running OpenWRT as a router. Its an old 3B, so it barely keeps up now that our internet has been updated to 100Mbps. It will soon be replaced, possibly with a pi 4. Of course, it also runs some other things.

I have OpenVPN running on it as well as a little nginx instance that I can use for reverse proxying if need be.

And the wifi turned out to be surprisingly solid as a (slow) access point, so I have sometimes used it as a Internet of Things Access Point with routing rules to keep all of those devices off the internet.

Its a surprisingly powerful little network box even with its significant limitations.
Do you have a yawning Perception Gap, or are you in sync with American public?
In Europe with same climate access to sea trivial ability to become a resident and similar tax level not that many :). Say you are US Citizen with remote position making 120K your tax bill in Montenegro is 13k. In Spain, Portugal, Greece etc you would be looking at 3x that.

I've never had these problems with the various media center apps. My Pi 3B+ has been running Kodi for a few months now, and it happily plays 1080p videos at what appears to be smooth 60 FPS.

Mind, this is specifically running under Kodi, which is optimized as a media center, and is NOT running also a full desktop environment. Attmepting to do the same in, say, the stripped down Chromium browser was an exercise in frustration. That's always been a major limitation of the 3D acceleration in the Pi, as the libraries took a long while to mature and were always a bit hacky.

The announcement for proper OpenGL support and compositing in the desktop environment is huge for me. It seems like it'll finally push the Pi up into "workshop computer" territory that, while underpowered, should be just capable enough to run some of my always on operations and act as a lightweight CAD station for small parts. I ordered one as soon as I woke up and saw the announcement, and we'll see how well that works in practice.
A thermostat in the context of an internal combustion engine is a coolant flow control device. It typically diverts coolant to the radiator when the engine initially reaches operating temperature and then directs flow to manage ideal operating temps.
Thanks for linking these - I'd seen them before, but hadn't caught the name of the book. I'll be picking it up :)

For what it's worth, my own experience says that the area for "Greater Appalachia" is pretty much 100% correct. The borders aren't quite sharp, and interesting things definitely happen where two or more "nations" meet.

I also know that West Virginia and middle Tennessee feel like "home" to me, and I'm from the Arkansas Ozarks.
That anecdote can hardly be considered relevant, no? We're talking about national suicide rates, and you're bringing up a story about a fence that (maybe?) happened at a school in one of the wealthiest districts in the US.

Tough Lessons Learned After Buying an Ecommerce Business
To be frank, I don't see the US having any sort of wherewithal about splitting these megacompanies up. The last major company they did so was Ma Bell.. And look at how they've coalesced.

And exactly what rubric could we split them? I can set up my own instance of Mastodon, which is a FB/Twitter like clone. I can set up federated Jabber chat. Is the monopoly FB sales? Or is it FB groups? Well, it's obviously the sheer number of people that's pulling the oxygen out of the room - but that's not a monopolistic attribute... yet.

Monopoly isn't the right word here. I don't think we have a right term yet, to describe being deplatformed from society by private entities on a massive scale. But, it feels gravely wrong without due process. And it feels wrong as well to be deprived from access to my political representatives, even if it is a proprietary and private platform.
A filtering DNS server is much easier to add into your network - don't have to play with proxy autoconfig, and because it's not mucking with the http content, very lightweight.
