I'm not fully convinced the courts got this one completely right.

This is a very interesting legal argument and lays emphasis on the need for legislators to express their intentions in writing more fully as opposed to writing laws with such loose and widely applicable terms such as "Life" without giving the term or their intent in using it more context.

If, as the Judge argues, that "he did not legally die as his presence in this courtroom indicates":

1. He's indicating the existence of a written law stating that a person may only die once.

2.Additionally, there are actually legal provisions that delegate to the medically accepted definition of "Death" instead of deciding it themselves.

3. The Judge indicates that ruling in the plaintiffs favor would cause chaos for situations where medically induced resurrections would confuse laws from insurance to banking. That is not the plaintiffs burden to bear. That does not sound like a valid reason to rule on the interpretation of a law.

Finally, and i believe the most important part here: The US Constitution lays liberty and freedom at the heart of individual rights conferred upon people from God or a superior force. All laws enforced by the Government must be explicitly legislated within these bounds since it prevents the default case moving from "Individual God given rights, unless expressly regulated within constitutional boundaries" to "Rights conferred by the Government discretion" -> The second case is explicitly prohibited by the Constitution.

The burden of legislation (And clearly elucidating intent) is upon the Legislative body. By leaving ambiguous the part within the letter of the law that regulates individual liberties for individuals found guilty of a crime, the Legislative has "given up" their jurisdiction in the edge case scenario which is in front of the court since it is "undefined" - This would have been a great case for the courts to weigh in and restrict legislative over reach and force more clearly written laws.

For those who think this is picking on too many nits - it sets precedent. A better example for argument might be the tax code and the popular saying that there is no living person capable of declaring that they are fully operating within the letter of the tax code due to the many levels of discretionary interpretation it allows.

My experience is that software that installs via curl|bash tends to ignore my preferences as expressed via $PREFIX/DESTDIR, $XDG_{CACHE,CONFIG,DATA}_HOME, etc. It'll install who-knows-where and probably leave dotfiles all over my home directory.

Maybe curl|bash is functionally equivalent to git clone && ./configure && make && make install, but my bet is on the one providing a standard install flow to be a better guest on my system.
I don't think SSH is more secure. You have to verify the server key to make it secure. How do you do that? I have googled a bit and didn't find an obvious page for the github server keys. And even if I did I would be back to HTTPS MITM by compromised CA.

Four Types of Money in Software
>...somebody released from prison really is at high risk of reoffending so people do need to be warned of their danger and protected from them.

I think you've reiterated the OC's comment that you're replying to, without realising it.

Let's assume someone gets arrested for a felony and does their time (e.g.: pays their debt to society). At the point of release, in theory, they should have no hindrances to reintegrating into society; yet, we know that this is not the case for people in the states because things like a felony record can keep you getting employed.

So, we've released a person from prison, who can't find a place to live (depending on jurisdictions) and can't find gainful or meaningful employment enough to survive on their own.

Is it any wonder, then, that the resultant might be that they commit more crime? At the very least, if they get caught, they have a guaranteed bed and meals; which is a really shitty alternative, if you think about it.

Let's not forget that the system is incentivised for them re-offend because putting bodies in the cells is what keeps the for-profit prison-industrial complex running.

I don't pretend to have an answer, to be sure, but I think that a plausible avenue of probing might be to truly treat an individual as if they've actually paid their dues to society, once they've left the system. For example, a person with a felony 10 years ago shouldn't still be disbarred from employment, as if it happened yesterday.

To continue to punish them, indirectly, is - obviously - not going to work in anyone's favour, not the person who committed the crime and not society - who should be as concerned with their re-integration with society as much as they're concerned with the offender being "punished to maximum extent of the law".

> Except when you pay money for TV, movies or video games, your money either doesn't go to the artists behind it, or very little of it does. Rather, the money goes to the investors who funded the work, or the publisher contracted with the musician.

This is the reality with any industry that has lots of "losers" for every winner. What you don't see is the massive amount of money lost by these same investors on media that doesn't hit. Returns on the winners have to be high enough to justify continued investment in the space. Media isn't created for free.

I too have an apostrophe in my name and experience the same thing. I've had people put it into their system as a comma, dash, space, and all sorts of weirdness despite my calling it out specifically.

My experience has actually improved substantially in the last 10 years or so, and most of the government systems I encounter these days actually handle it properly (as well as handling suffix properly too). That said, I've somewhat recently started having trouble checking in for flights again -- I flew last month and it took the ticketing agent >20 minutes to find my reservation on both the outbound and return flights, even despite my providing the 'confirmation code' / itinerary email (we were checking bags & flying with infants, else I'd have done online check-in).

It can be really frustrating -- though I'm hopeful it will continue improving and hopefully be a smoother experience by the time my kids are adults.

Nonsense! The actual Dutch cure for stress is to claim you have "burnout" (they use the English word), and then take 6 months off work while being paid 80% of your salary.

Honestly, after working for 6 years in the Netherlands, I don't know of another country that has such good working conditions [1], while having so many people in low stress professional jobs taking time off for burnout. There seems zero social or professional stigma about it.

- In Australia, I knew of just one person, a teacher. There they called it a "nervous breakdown".

- In the UK, I struggle to think of any, after 9 years working here.

- In the Netherlands, probably 30% of my Dutch colleagues had had time off for burnout at some point in their career.

[1] At the Dutch bank I worked for, most of the Dutch staff worked 4 day weeks: take a 10% pay cut, have Fridays off, and nominally work an hour longer on the other 4 days. In practice, they still arrived late so they could drop their kids at school, left early for same reason, took a full hour for lunch, and most days everyone stopped for 30 minutes mid-morning because it was someone's birthday. Nearly the only people who worked full 5-day weeks were the expats.
If you know the term "uitwaaien" I'd say this rings pretty much true: "Meyer has lived in the Netherlands for more than 20 years and has come to specialize in the language, despite being a non-native speaker."

In all fairness, I haven't heard or used the word for a couple of years now, so not sure to what extent this is true: "She says uitwaaien is a popular activity where she lives—one believed to have important psychological benefits. “Uitwaaien is something you do to clear your mind and feel refreshed—out with the bad air, in with the good,” she tells me. “It’s seen as a pleasant, easy, and relaxing experience—a way to destress or escape from daily life.”"

I don't see how changing the commodity from media to rice improves your argument, if anything it weakens it. Of course people who grow your food need to be compensated for it! Otherwise they'll stop growing your food. You're not entitled to steal rice from food manufacturers.

Secondly media is far more complex than the art we've had for millenia. The sheer amount of resources to create a modern movie dwarfs what artists have created in the past, its comparing apples to oranges.

Well, nowadays, for devices that started from Oreo or later, there is this thing called Project Treble where every device are guaranteed to boot AOSP of the same version.
It is possible to use that to create generic lineage image, that just works on all devices released with oreo or later.
Of course with those generic images, not everything will just work, but calling and camera are a given.

There are unofficial builds of this [1] but lineage doesn't want to endorse this approach, even though that's technically how they support all recent devices.

>where is WebKit's commitment to joining Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, and countless web developers in making web apps first-class apps on iOS?

PWAs are a Google initiative for Android phones, with Mozilla and Microsoft simply following suit to get their products into Google's platform. Apple doesn't have that problem. They have their own platform with their own goals in mind. Non-native experiences are strictly inferior to native, and they know that. With quality being Apple's primary differentiator in the market, it only makes sense that they would take an extremely measured approach here.
Not true if the cost is too low to justify creators continuing to invest in such works.

If we want to do combustion in a gas turbine as a "battery" for the grid, then electrolysis -> hydrogen -> hydrogen burning gas turbine has a ridiculously superior efficiency and CAPEX compared to going via methane. All the big players for stationary gas turbines are bringing hydrogen as a fuel forward at a rapid rate.

I believe the current plan for the first full-scale hydrogen gas turbine (400+ MW) is the Magnum powerplant in 2025-ish.
Simple workaround would be putting in a human-readable long string. Anything like, "Daniel's residence, A1,1". Post people know how to read.

Upd: reaction to this suggestion shows that some people don't understand how post office operates. They go to great lengths to understand where to deliver the mail/parcel. In most cases, addresses like "big yellow house with a red door overlooking the cliff near the lighthouse" would work. So the only challenge here is to get past the whatever dumb rule the service developer imposed on the address format. Likely it is just filter by string length.

One thing being a programmer has taught me is to understand a problem if you really want to fix it. Maybe one day I will do a deep dive in politics and economics. Then I could have real answers and better/more-informed discussions.

Looking at this now though I think, okay, there's more of us than them. Let's just take it and figure out how to redistribute it. But I know most of them are probably innocent and goood people. I suspect the real problem is our failed government. Does anyone have any idea how we can solve wealth inequality? Will it happen or will we keep slipping?
If we are going to change the name for "fireman" - the profession, we need to change "human" to something more appropriate like "homo idioticus" (i realize it sounds both homophobic and ableist), so does anyone have better ideas?
From what I understand, there's only a limited number of times you can perform cellular division without getting erroneous DNA copies (cancerous cells).

Like humans, elephants start their life with one cell, which is then replicated over and over again until the end of their lives. But somehow, elephants manage to reach body sizes 100 times bigger than humans (meaning many more cellular divisions) without having cancerous cells.

I think that's the basic observation that triggers this kind of research.

Disclaimer: I am no expert at all.
Seems like they have it figured out. Time for the rest of us to catch up.

He's not saying you're acting entitled towards the content, (ie you'll throw a fit if you can't pirate it). He's saying you're acting entitled towards being morally justified in downloading the content for free from a torrent site.

It's perfectly possible to have an ability to do something and not be justified in doing it.
There can be some special cases when suspending account is justified, e.g. criminal not in prison using the account for criminal activity, someone creating new account and sending spam from it or collecting phishing data. So we do not want to completely prevent companies from banning users who abuse the service and cause financial damage to the company, we want companies to not mistreat the normal users who happened to trigger a bug in some algorithm.

But i was not saying that explanation alone would make suspension ok, i was saying that the lack of explanation is an aggravating circumstance in this case.
DHH: Apple Card is sexist [twitter thread]
An actual reply instead of a no-op downvote, thanks.

Ok then, why does it not? I've not read it but this from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species )

"It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation."

There is a further section that presents facts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species#Summa...) which is a bit long to quote here.

So, are you saying OTOOTS presents evidence but not the necessary reproducability, in which case I may agree, and the book is not scientific theory but a precursor to one? Or something else?
The Green Existence of Adam Hart-Davis
I understand the difficulty. But if you're going to write a shell script that detects the target system and takes different actions, you might as well move that logic to the packaging system. It's much more robust, especially when it comes to dependency management and updating.

I wish there were a simple, modern, easily configurable tool that can take a declarative description of a project and spit out a ready-to-serve repository (just point nginx at it!) for most commonly used package formats. For Linux daemons this should be easier than ever before, now that systemd has gobbled up all the major distros.
you're thinking of CyanogenMod, LineageOS was born out of Cyanogen running out of money and the maintainers dropping it.
Project Treble images are less "generic" than they sound - they vary by stock-OS version (Nougat, Oreo, Pie, Q/10), 32-vs.-64 bits, A-only vs. A+B boot.
That's not a truism. If manufacturers only sell DTC (direct to consumer) and don't allow third party sellers to compete they do so for two reasons, price control and brand control. The lack of competition between third party sellers allows them to sell at any price the market will bare since they are the only ones you can buy the product from. When third party sellers can distribute/sell the product as well and there is no enforced MAP (minimum allowed price) it leads to a race to who is willing to accept the smallest margins on the sales, which in turn makes it purely a who can do the most volume with the best marketing. This actually results in the lowest prices for consumers.
The curl|bash might actually clone a repo and build it. Your concern is a different one.
Sounds like few working hours leads to burnout.
Thanks. I was a software engineer at several different SF-area companies for about a decade, and then I decided to take some time off from professional programming. I'm now a full-time student in a CS Master's program. As I'll eventually need to produce a thesis, this was partly an exercise to practice my technical writing.

I picked up Rust for my personal projects a couple of years ago, and mostly worked from the official API docs, occasionally turning to blog posts, the Rust book, or the Rustonomicon. Because I didn't have any time pressure, I ignored the entire crate ecosystem and opted to write everything myself instead. This has left some giant gaps in my Rust knowledge, but they're in a different place than is typical.

As far as the explanations go, I realized that good authors don't say important things only once: they repeat everything a few different times in a few different ways. So, I tried to say the exact same things in the prose as in the code listings, and trusted that the fundamental differences between Rust and English would make the two complement each other instead of simply being repetitive.
If you're talking about simply unlocking the bootloader, that's as simple on most phones. I'm more referring to the general barriers put up to doing anything with your phone, either before unlocking (the OS itself is restrictively HTC-oriented) or after unlocking (S-ON, etc.)

> Naturally HTC will from there on out decline responsibility for bricked phones, but which company doesn't?

The fact that this is an accepted norm is another part of the problem. Why "naturally"? Some manufacturers (like Google, Fairphone, Motorola on a limited number of phones) don't void the warranty, but even if none did: why do you think this "naturally" an acceptable thing other than it being the norm?

If you don't damage the hardware by flashing, there's no reason it should be out of warranty. If you do "damage" it because of some malicious hardware fuse installed by the manufacturer, then it seems to me that could reasonably be considered a faulty device.
I believe you can unlock Pixels without voiding the warranty.
