Initially I thought that this could be one of those automatically generated nonsensical but scientific sounding texts (https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/archive/scigen/)

But upon closer reading I now think it's actually the reverse. The author apparently tried very hard to obfuscate the fact that he does have something meaningful to say by using utterly nonsensical sounding language.
I had exactly the same reaction.

But,I will say that my creality has been a bucket of pain, to the point where I almost exclusively use my prusa these days. So perhaps that's reason to hope this is more than just a crappy bargain basement printer warmed over.
> The 2020 election is looming, and things are going to get heated. Having civil disagreements may seem impossible. But it isn’t.

My experience with the previous election (I'm in Europe, but it has us polarized as well) is that there are some disagreements not worth having.

For instance, I don't want to argue with a climate change denier, or a vaccine denier. If we reached such opposite conclusions, it means our ways of processing information are so hugely different that nothing constructive can emerge from a conversation on these topics.
‘This Did Not Go Well’: Inside PG&E’s Blackout Control Room
What has Stallman done that is so bad? I can't seem to find anything specific. Not asking to be controversial, but seeking to understand.
Sorry, I forgot to answer your questions.

I’m assuming this only kicks in if color is not applied inside the term?

You are right, if the text has color from server, the color will be respected and will not be styled again. Or many tools like vi will show a mess.

Being able to cat an xml/json/source file and get decent styling sounds quite cool.

Think a little more boldly. If we can piped the output of cat to a real text editor and let you view and modify and save it more easier:) Just pop up its content when you cat a file.

Have you thought of offering an embeddable component?

No, never. I think a good tool must guarantee its integrity. But the idea and method can be offered to others, like google introduced MapReduce and BigTable.

Perhaps offer the terminal for free and commercialize the component?

Windterm will always free for personal usage. I am very happy if someone will like to use my terminal. For companies, if they don't sell their products for money, they can use windterm for free too.
I am just wondering if it is possible to link to the myriad calls for Stallman's resignation prior to the recent events?

I somehow missed all of them, but it seems every recent comment section on Stallman contains a great many people saying it was time for him to go anyway.
You could, but your typical research scientist in biology will not even be aware of what formally verified software is, and even if it remains to be seen if there is such a thing for their particular application.
You have to remember most people wanting more minority are more likely than not themselves part of the majority. It's just an outlet for people to make themselves feel better. It is not even slightly altruistic its just terribly hid narcism and egoism.

I've never heard any of those social and political correctness bullshit outside of US even worse most Europeans I talk to, minority or not, find it beyond ridiculous. Meritocracy is the only way.
It can be, but then you'll be left with a modified browser that has little or no users.
It's not clear to me that someone who presents "grievance studies" as a legitimate labeling for fields that he isn't politically sympathetic to is well-positioned (either morally or practically) to tell me how to "disagree better."
How Italians Became 'White'
Thanks for pointing out the wiki regarding kurdish-turkish conflict. I will be doing further reading on overall conflict just to inform myself even further.

I also would like to make a point on something but in order to do that first I invite you to imagine how is it like to fear just to travel some of your own country cities because when you are travelling there is a possibility of rocket or bomb ambush among the mountains. Imagine, teachers in those cities are captured and killed in your schools. Imagine regular people doing their job get rocket attacks thus get killed on a monthly basis. Imagine many more things like that could happen on a monthly basis in your very own country. Finally, imagine that this is going on for over 30 year and all of those attacks performed by single terrorist organization with ultimate purpose of taking control of approximately 1/4 of your country.

Now, do you think after thousands of death happend in your country for over 30 years, bombs detonated in your home cities. Would that death ratio still make sense while all of these events possibly still going on to you?

If still you think 1-5 ratio still make sense and we should stop defending ourselves against terrorists, I encourage you to do this mental exercise of imagining all of those events one more time and possibly see what are the typical reaction of countries towards this kind of hostility in their own lands. (Although I haven't done comprehensive research on 11/11 event, I think it possibly has potential to demonstrate how could one country go further when it faces with such terrorist attacks to stop it.)
My issue is mostly with using tablets as laptop replacements. Not so much because of capabilities (I often travel with a ChromeBook) but because nothing out there is great for just grabbing and typing on my lap--which I admit I do a lot even at home or in the office.

IMO, there needs to be a detachable keyboard with trackpad that really locks to a tablet so the screen doesn't need to be propped up in some manner. Some things out there get close but not quite.
whoosh Oh, I'm sure they are. That doesn't make this any less undefined.

Great point. Not sure about unfettered though, it's just socialism period. Everything is controlled by the government and not the market. Planned economy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_economy).

Unfortunately some see socialism as a candy, a glorious oasis we should all paddle towards without realization that it's a giant trap. A pure hell with great marketing for ordinary people.

Towards the top of the article, he mentions that the data collected is based on matches with a fake “attractive” tinder profile. After matching with women, he asked them questions about their Tinder habits. He interviewed a total of 27 women. It seems... sort of irresponsible to make any sort of sweeping claims about men and women based on that kind of data.
The main lifts don't reach the basement because of the elevated lobby nonsense. There is one small lift which does go down there, but it's a service lift for the whole building, so it could be busy elsewhere when you want it.

My pass won't operate it anyway; you have to be specially authorized, and when I asked, our office manager didn't know how to do that.

I suppose one counter-argument might be that if the data is public, drug companies would have more transparency into the FDAs methods, that might allow them to tailor their trials in a way to target the FDA's criteria in a way that would be bad for outcomes? Maybe?

But I come down on the same side, more transparency is probably better, and the FDA really probably only resists transparency here to avoid their own accountability to the public.
Even with submodules it's still a PR per repo. Global, atomic changes are super powerful.

Problem is, we don't want the results the author thinks are right; we want the results that are accurate.
Just curious, why are most people in 2019 so convinced that Bill Gates is "the worlds greatest guy"? Don't we have plenty of evidence of a long history of shady business practices (that really only ended around 1998 when Microsoft lost their stranglehold on the computer industry due to the internet) and isn't it likely that Bill Gates most likely has the world's greatest PR team? Also, do we have any evidence that Bill Gates is a generous guy when he isn't attaching his name to it for self promotion?

I'm sincerely asking these questions: I agree he seems like an OK guy these days... but the rational part of me kinda wonders what evidence we have that he isn't just the product of a giant PR campaign.
I'd pay for this.
It's not even like they want to offer the option but hope people won't use it. (I think.) After all, they remind you pretty frequently to use it if you've chosen someone to donate to.
If only research paid as well as violating the privacy of the American people to trick them into clicking on advertisements there might be more parity in code quality control between research and industry. But we’ve instead allowed google to take all the money away from the scientists, who are increasingly doing societies heavy lifting for free.
I've owned an Mk2s for like 2 years and I've never printed anything that required all the bed length.

My next printer will be smaller, let's see how they'll price the kit version.
I'm glad that prusa has stayed true to his open hardware pledge all these years, while continuing to push the reprap ideals.

Everybody is complaining about the price, but c'mon this thing is designed printed and assembled in Prague, the EU.
It creates local jobs for people with fair wages, social security and good quality of life, we should strive to have more of our stuff produced in the west.

Happy to see him design another printer, I really love my MK3.
I get frequent freezes, followed by a kernel panic. Sound, network, memory management; every time it's different.
> whether you're willing to dump money into updating everyting at once

I think the majority of projects in this world only update everything at once. They haven't investing in testing, sensible api's and testing to allow updating small pieces of their solution.

From my experience, I also think the majority of people who think they have a library and need multi repos to deal with that, don't have a library.

To further clarify, one user of your library means you could stop pretending you have a library and avoid the pain.

I don't mean to insist these problems do not exist, I simply don't think many people have them.
I can finally say goodbye to buzzwords. Such an innovative, user-friendly, and sustainable service with quality results.

I imagine that anyone who had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein now regrets it. Funny how none of them discovered those regrets after Epstein hit the front pages.

> left hand doesn't know what the right is doing

It probably isn't even that. The "Left hand" could be engineers who are only thinking about technical and product design aspects and really want the thing to go off and succeed. And then, just when it's about to happen, a legal team does the final check and someone higher in the hierarchy has to approve it and they say "wait, can we just build this in house much cheaper". The Right Hand just learned what the Left Hand was up to, and decided that it isn't perfectly in company's interest, so they adjust it a bit.

He resigned after these conversations blew up https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6405929-091320191420... but there has never been a shortage of things he's said to make headlines. I'd recommend skipping the commentary/news/blogs on it and just forming your own opinion and going from there.
Possibly due to the philanthropic efforts of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
That was the previous position of the Bill Gates camp. Given he changed the narrative, I would not be surprised about further developments.

This is amazing. My training is in languages, and I would love to contribute to this. Holy shit, they even have "going forward." I love, love, love this.
I've shifted to focusing on repo == team. If your organizational structure is to have many little teams that are independent from each other, then you build your source code management to reflect that.

I built my engineering staff to focus on any of the initiatives that my boss hands to me (changes week/week) - so we went monorepo so we could move between those projects/apps/programs quickly.

We knew that we didn't want to pay the maintenance cost just because microservices/multirepo was a buzzword AND we wanted future ventures to get faster (example: we solved identity for authn/authz once and now every app that needs it after can leverage it and we can upgrade identity and all of its consumers in one pull request).
Ownership is (at least) two things: who has the responsibility for destroying an object when it's finished with, which GC takes care of, and who has the right to mutate an object while it's alive, which GC doesn't.

I mostly write Java for a living, have done for a decade, and still occasionally trip myself up by mutating an object I'd forgotten I've shared.
We really could get more out of this data through international collaboration and through linked data (e.g. URIs for columns). See: "Open, and Linked, FDA data"
https://github.com/FDA/openfda/issues/5#issuecomment-5392966... and "ENH: Adverse Event Count / 'Use' Count Heatmap" https://github.com/FDA/openfda/issues/49

With sales/usage counts, we'd have a denominator with which we could calculate relative hazard.
To be fair, I'm sure some people regretted it earlier in private, before there was an expectation to put their opinions into the public record.
The degrees of freedom he and the attached harness (and the small string just down his right ear) rotate and move look incompatible with any filming studio subject to gravity: he is clearly subject to inertia, not to weight.
I suspect this was the case with most of Epstein’s relationships. Like a sticky salesman. Every one of those situations must have been severely, severely embarrassing for people who were non-interested in whatever Epstein was selling.
But who should be responsible of deciding if Stallman was indecent or not inclusive and why?
If you are writing a paper about the order in which a sequence of events happens, the order matters. It's the difference between cause and effect, the heart of science. Filename is often used as part of the data, as a timestamp.

Obviously reliable sorting is important, which is why people are upset that python's glob() turned out to be unreliable
Here is my opinion on the matter: given that that the probability of me interacting personally with Gates is on the order of a rounding error, I don't really care if he's actually a nice guy or if he's the greatest actor in the world, because in the end he's still one of the people who's putting money on making the world a better place, whether it's just for making him look good or not.
Ahh, I failed to click those. They seemed large enough to be “not the code, but the full dataset”. Thanks for the correction!

They managed to find funds for PR staff and ad campaigns.
Stallman's advocating of an extreme ideology and it permeating the otherwise extremely capitalist tech world is in fact the only good thing he did in his career.
How about applying such regulatory process to discussion/news boards like Hacker News and Reddit?

I posted a critical inquiry to a thread where China was being rightfully accused of human rights violations about our own (America’s own) human rights violations from our border detention camps, child separation, and denying medicine to detainees, among various other atrocities like destabilizing countries around the world and most recently leaving allies to be slaughtered. In other words, we have no right to shame China given our worse-than-China moral failings.

I was flagged and then my reply to the flagging which rightfully accused HN of being a dictatorship was deleted (or at least it has a - symbol that does not allow it to be expanded)

Why do we keep pretending that this place (HN) is some sort of open discussion space where critical questioning is allowed?

It’s Bullshit.

I don't know that I've seen anyone say Gates is "The world's greatest guy." He seems intelligent and genuine in interviews and in his writing. He's accomplished big things. He has good taste in books. He's working on worthwhile philanthropical topics.

That Gates played hard in the business world doesn't take away from the above. He is who he is. In my view, a good person. If Gates turns out to be involved in Epstein's pedophile ring then of course I'd change my opinion. I deeply hope he wasn't though.
yeah... the old stories were a bit different a month or two ago:

"... any account of a business partnership or personal relationship between the two is simply not true."
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/jeffrey-ep...

The Microsoft founder said he was “never at any parties or anything like that,” and that all the meetings they held together “were meetings with men.”

“I met him,” Gates told the Journal. “I didn’t have any business relationship or friendship with him. I didn’t go to New Mexico or Florida or Palm Beach or any of that. There were people around him who were saying, hey, if you want to raise money for global health and get more philanthropy, he knows a lot of rich people.”

Unpopular opinion: I think a lot of people use charity/philanthropy as a cover to prevent scrutiny against other less than stellar things they have done. See Clinton Foundation, McCain Institute, etc.
Exactly. You can't prove a negative, so there are no aliens.

This is an interesting read, but I don't think it's fair to judge someone by who they hung out with a few times. I wish we didn't live in a world where someone has to say they "Regret" hanging out with someone.

If you could not hang out with people that have made mistakes, you could not hang out with anyone. If you could not hang out with people who have criminal records, among the people you could not hang out with would be MLK.

I grew up in a poorer city where a few of the people I hung out with are in jail for long sentences, or drug dealers, or dead from drugs. Do I regret hanging out with them? No. If you run away from anything you are told is bad or evil you are going to live in a bubble. That shows cowardice and not courage. Better to use your brain and think for yourself (and not engage in the bad behavior or condone it, but not flip the bozo bit on anyone who has been accused of anything). Does that mean I'm a bad person? Do Emily Flitter and James B. Stewart only hang out with perfect angels?
> Just curious, why are most people in 2019 so convinced that Bill Gates is "the worlds greatest guy"? Don't we have plenty of evidence of a long history of shady business practices

Another idea: maybe Bill Gates, like many of us, is a morally complex person who has done immense good and also done some bad things, some of them possibly very bad.
