Why's that? In my terminal emulator, CTRL-; just outputs a semicolon. Are there any cases where CTRL plus a character in the first or fourth columns has the same kind of behavior?

It seems to me that it's only the elements in the third column that can be used to generate elements of the first column. This is consistent with the description in the article, and still explains why ESC is represented by ^[.
It's important to make a distinction between actual victims and those who participate in victimhood culture. A good example of victimhood culture which has made national headlines is actor Jussie Smollett's staged assault. [1] In order to make a political point, he went out of his way to make himself out to be a victim, because he knew portraying himself as such would get him positive attention from the media (and it did at first before the fraud was revealed).

The criticism is not toward actual victims, but those who fabricate or exaggerate their experiences in order to participate in victimhood. The latter group is partly responsible for the former group being unfairly denied and vilified.

Edit: This sociology article [2] differentiates the two in the context of microaggressions, as summarized in Wikipedia [3]:

> Campbell and Manning argue that accusations of microaggression focus on unintentional slights, unlike the Civil rights movement, which focused on concrete injustices. They argue that the purpose of calling attention to microaggressions is less to elevate the status of offended victim. "When the victims publicize microaggressions,” wrote Campbell and Manning “they call attention to what they see as the deviant behavior of the offenders. In doing so,” they “also call attention to their own victimization.” They do this because it lowers “the offender’s moral status” and “raises the moral status of the victims.”

There’s plenty of bad code that fails to check for errors so the OS may well have flagged something here and the program just didn’t know/care.

It seems even more likely that the result of unlink() would be ignored (right up there with ignoring printf()), not because it’s the right thing to do but because lazy programmers will assume that failures are incredibly unlikely or unimportant. For example, if the code is a cleanup phase that just wants to remove a list of files, what are the odds that the program dutifully checks that the files actually went away?

It's ridiculous to expect anyone to stay forever, but you should both agree as to what is a good period of time to be vested. Probably you should have agreed on that in advance, but now you have to give and take and agree to compromise on something that works for both of you. Also, this guideline would be good to help others to be vested in the future. You have to consider what works in the industry.
Bromite author here (https://www.bromite.org ); I was contacted some time ago about the possibility to maintain a modified version of Bromite with a customised /e/ home page and list of search engines. Nothing particularly murky there, but after some Q/A I did not want to proceed with this type of cross-branding because fundamentally I do not want Bromite to be using or be affiliated with any cloud service and I concluded that /e/ invites users to swap Google for /e/ as a cloud services provider.

Now to the reason why I am commenting here: there is no GPL violation for the patches used in their /e/ browser but I find it a bit disappointing that nowhere it is mentioned that the browser is a complete Bromite build, minus the logo and renamed to '/e/ Browser'.

Most users are assuming that it is a Chromium fork developed by /e/ and will never reach the Bromite open source project, which is basically the way the project is kept alive.
Wow, you sound like a major, self centered narcissist at the very least. There is nothing special about having children, and there is nothing you can learn that I cannot. If you really do have children I feel bad for them. In another comment you said that if I'm really concerned about the environment I should kill myself. You clearly have some issues to work through, and I wish you the best

The two auto shops I've used in recent years were cases where I called someone on the telephone. I don't know how they handle scheduling on their end. It wasn't part of the core interaction loop.

Now that I think of it, the place I now prefer to go isn't just because they do good work but because of my human interactions with the people there. They were more personable. The experience felt better because of the people.

None of the core part of my interaction required software.

To continue the auto shop example, sure they use software for their invoices and to detect problems in vehicles. They don't have to do that for invoices. It's a choice. It's not in the critical path.

Most small businesses shouldn't have to spend a ton of time marketing. That's outside their core work. Marketing takes on a variety of things including word of mouth. That will change over time and sure, people use software based ads. But, it's not required and not the core of the business.
> When I think of businesses I think of the local auto repair shop, the restaurant around the corner, the paving company working on the roads, the local HVAC company around the corner from me, and the local gyms.

That makes sense that you’re thinking of those local businesses. They’re the ones that are left after we nuked taxi companies, record stores, radio stations, bank tellers, and retail. We haven’t totally killed all those yet but we’re working on it, along with grocery stores and more.

I agree that putting more computers in between people everywhere won’t be an entirely good thing, but there’s no denying that this is happening and has been happening everywhere we can pull it off.

People hardly even talk to each other these days without computers in the middle.

In the rational sense, you have a point. I’m sympathetic to your position. I wish people were better at calmly and dispassionately weighing facts and reason, but we are largely not.

Your male OB example is really close to hitting a subject where people are sometimes angrily and even violently attached to their positions and on which some insist that men do not even have worthwhile opinions — merely because they are men. Similarly, others stake out positions that it is okay to “punch up” because they allege that ethics, propriety, and justice depend on group identity. These are utterly irrational by the same point that I believe you’re making, but knowing your audience is crucial. Good luck being heard on certain subjects.

Parenting isn’t that extreme, but a strong emotional component is present. With criticism in general, if in the audience’s view you haven’t earned the right, then you’re just running your mouth. You may have heard of Powdered Butt Syndrome: anyone who has powdered your butt does not want your opinion on money or sex. Being a parent changes everything in ways that it’s difficult for non-parents to understand. Even if a non-parent accepts this on an intellectual level, the deeper visceral appreciation is still missing.

Yes, being late is rude. Screaming children in a restaurant while others are trying to enjoy a meal is annoying. Parents should not allow their kids to behave like ill-mannered brats. To really oversimplify, becoming a parent tends to raise some parents’ tolerance to misbehavior. I can talk about gross topics over dinner that would have caused my pre-kids self to ask for a change of subject or to excuse myself from the table. Parenting can be exhausting. All relationships are challenging at times. Sometimes people choose to pick their battles.

All that said, some parents dismiss advice or criticism from other parents too. It must be nice to have your perfect kids, live in your perfect neighborhood, and send them to their perfect school. What do you know about my situation? You have X and I don’t. I have Y and you don’t.

Anyone can criticize to criticize. Doing it with love to actually help someone else is much more delicate.
>Does anyone here actually use voice control commands in public (at a coffee shop, on the sidewalk) like the ads for this are suggesting? If so, does it feel awkward?

Do people make phone calls in public and talk through BT? It's not really that different. Instead of saying "Yeah, how about next Friday" or similar, you say "Alexa, skip this song" and such.

And when you're walking, and e.g. ask for GPS directions or something your BT earbuds, it's even more normal...

Exactly this. Further, I'd expand on what they are saying to say that the difference between a bad customer experience, good customer experience, and great customer experience typically lies in the little details and goes beyond the core offering. Great customer service orgs take the time to check up on you and make sure you are happy (and have it not be an automated effort), they bend the rules to fit an edge case, they always own mistakes and try to make it right, and they are fundamentally customer focused. Bad orgs treat customers like numbers and hide behind policy and contracts at every opportunity so that they don't actually have to deal with people.

For example, I took my girlfriend to a nice hotel for our anniversary last year. When the hotel heard I was having an anniversary, they sent up a very nice hand written congratulatory card, a bottle of prosecco, and a selection of deserts on the house. That couldn't have taken them more than 15 minutes and cost them like 20 dollars, but it is something I will always remember; I will definitely return there in the future; and I recommend that hotel to any friends seeking a nice place to stay. That is great customer service.

At a more basic level, I was at a mid tier hotel a few weeks ago and somehow I didn't get the room upgrade I paid for. The management immediately refunded me the difference without complaint and gave me a few drink tickets to use at their bar as an apology. That is good customer service.

Contrast those to my experience at my former favorite steak house this year where for the last ten years I had been telling everyone to go. I went there for Valentine's day (had a reservation) and was told I had to wait 30 minutes for a table to open. While I was waiting, I saw multiple couples of the same size come in behind me and get seated. After the 30 minute wait, they tried to seat us at the loud and noisy bar. When I complained, they basically told me tough shit you get what you get. A reservation just guarantees you a table not a good one. I concluded that they were discriminating against us because we are younger than the average clientele there. Not only did I walk out and cost them my business, but I gave them a scathing Yelp review, and now shit talk them at every opportunity. I will never go back even though they were great every other time I was there, and instead always point friends to one of their main competitors when asked my opinion about local steak houses. I do this even though I know the competitor's food isn't as good. They could have given me the table I deserved; they could have comped some drinks or something; but no, they were right and I was wrong and so they lost a loyal customer instead.
...to my knowledge, Starbucks has never engaged in predatory pricing to begin with, so at this point I'm legitimately not sure what we're discussing here.

If the question is, given a willingness to blatantly violate anti-trust law, and lose immense amounts of short-term for long-term gains, could Starbucks drive out all competition? And... I actually don't think they could, because (A) coffee shop patrons like variety and (B) I'm not clear that Starbucks could necessarily outlast e.g. Dunkin' Donuts.

Starbucks is just a poor example. Walmart would be a much better example.

I agree with everything except the five seconds note. Web pages loading in fives seconds is an awful experience.

Optimizing expensive queries not only improves the user experience (be it web or api or whatever) but also can open up entire usecases that otherwise wouldn’t be practical. Five second queries are a primate candidate for DOS attacks, whether intentionally malicious or by users spamming refresh, retry, etc.
You're forgetting that medicare for all also comes with a lot of promises about free education. The artificial barriers for education will be slowly removed and the supply will quickly match up the demand.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21074455 is a related article, whose thread we merged into this one.
Even eliminating those expenses doesn't really help much. It just changes the numbers in the headlines. $16k in premiums is still tough for most US families.
This is the first year I have had to really utilize my healthcare coverage to its fullest due to a cancer diagnosis in my family. I work at a very small company doing its best to provide a decent healthcare plan, but with our numbers we have very high monthly premiums plus a high out-of-pocket maximum for me to reach (which will now likely happen every year).

I can't help but wonder if I am paying WAY more with my current healthcare plan than if I didn't have any insurance at all and negotiated the "uninsured" price per each service myself.
AdAway uses hosts-based blocking, it is less precise than the one in Bromite but more powerful because it can block access also of any app; it is very similar to an IP-based firewall.

For most users Bromite itself will be sufficient; I see you are also using the SystemWebView, so I don't think you need to run AdAway, you can save CPU usage and battery without it. I suggest you try disabling/uninstalling it, there should be no difference in your experience.
My personal haunt doesn't. But then again, they're both a bar, and a restaurant, and I think for simplicity's sake they just run both types of transaction the same way (namely, bring you your bill and you pay at the end).

And this isn't just because I'm a regular. I've seen it happen plenty with people from out of town too. The only thing they'll take your ID for is their mules so you don't run off with a copper mug.
This... doesn't really define ultraprocessed. The article tries several times, but the definitions conflict with each other and with the examples given.

The first definition of ultraprocessed is "industrial food formulations made up mostly or entirely of ingredients... that are not found in a similar form and combination in nature". That includes a lot of merely 'processed' foods. A highly aged cheese will have basically no naturally-occurring ingredients left, and any bread with leavening and refined flour fails "form and combination found in nature". Similarly, the fat and salt flavors of strong cheese, or the sweetened flavors of a pastry with sugar, go beyond "sharpening taste" to creating entirely new nonnatural flavors.

We can all apply the Potter Stewart test to say that Twinkies are ultraprocessed and sharp cheddar isn't, so I don't meant to be pedantic here. But I think this loose definition points to genuinely important unresolved questions.

Where on the scale from sausage to Twinkie does the problem start?

Is it really true that an Entenmann's coffee cake causes vastly different eating habits than equal access to a home-made version? Can we isolate the difference?

Above all, which differences actually drive this? 'Ultraprocessed' is not a food additive but a loose class of recipes, and it'd be nice to reduce that to a distinction we could put on a label.

The problem probably doesn't isolate to any one additive or alteration, but we should be able to find something more concrete than a vague naturalistic appeal. The study in question has some promising work in that direction, like controlling for energy density. Outright added calories are a long-standing suspect (since we're likely to use the same amount of e.g. spaghetti sauce despite store-bought versions having far more sugar), but Hall's work suggests that the problem persists even without that. I'd very much like to see more of these studies to replicate the effect and extract a more substantive definition of 'ultraprocessed'.
Then I think the "right to be forgotten" is utter bullshit. It's isn't and shouldn't be a right.
This step is inevitable in my opinion. This is especially true for mixed signal (that is some digital and some analog components) systems. It's early fore-bearer (multi-chip modules or MCM) was instrumental in IBM getting its later mainframes to hit the density and thermal constraints.

Like the authors, when I saw AMD's chiplet pictures for the Zen2 chips I felt that we would see this expanded. Intel has also done some interesting optical chip to chip interconnects that would facilitate assembling these newer multichip modules into chassis that route signals to and from the outside world.

The next (and perhaps last) element to fall into place is a way to efficiently cool these systems. One of the problems that large data centers face is not that they want "smaller" boxes but that they need to pull enough heat out of a rack of servers in order for them to reliably function.

But that's almost never what you want: as the backend developer, it's one's job to care about security and the performance of queries. As far as I know there's no straightforward way of automagically translating every possible permutation of SQL query primitives into GraphQL primitives in a way that is intuitive to a frontend developer, reasonably performant and secure, so at some point the backend dev has to step in and do the work of connecting the GQL layer to the SQL layer.

The "Bromite adblock engine" was what was used up to v76 and was originally based on NoChromo engine.

Sorry, I figured you were German.

As long as people are covered it would be a good start (I won't bother engaging further on the single payer/private insurance/hybrid systems, not enough room and not the right forum)...it just scares me to hear the game plan to get there is political pressure after a critical mass of people are uninsured. I know that is not attributable to you, and you seem optimistic we get there anyway, I hope you are right.

One last thing I will note, is there are all kinds of hidden costs through other insurance that hopefully would come down under a single payer (maybe even under a public/private hybrid like Medicare Part D) , take car insurance one reason premiums and deductibles are so high is because a lot of that goes towards personal injury claims (medical costs). The same can be said for odd things like homeowners insurance for example. A lot of these insurance policies people already pay for in some ways supplement health care coverage.

>We use all of these in the U.S. and it's insane.

Well said.
