You only have to take a look at the general elections worldwide.

Just kidding, but I think that finding a philosophic answer to a biological problem can be tricky. It is an interesting take in any case.
You’re right, they are pronounced the same. What I was actually thinking about was the different pronunciations of the vowel before the ss/ß. In the word “Schoß” for example the ß tells you the the vowel is long and not short as it would be in the word “schoss”.

So what I’m trying to say is that s/ss/ß have distinct use cases which follow consistent rules.
But those citizens need to restrict the freedom and security of others.

In Europe we have many examples of human trafficking where officials had problems to investigate because of political reasons and other problems, mainly understaffed law enforcement.

Every police force asks for more powers, every interior ministry wants more surveillance.

Even with decryption tools, I don't see how traffickers would suddenly not be able to obfuscate their communications.

What becomes very easy is to crack down on dissent though. And being able to communicate with others without any listeners is a security requirement. So freedom and security aren't orthogonal at all.
Hrm the mystery isn't really solved though. I'd have expected them to have traced it to a particular tattoo shop.

> So light rail/commuter rail is more efficient than an electric car when you assume that the car is single occupant and the light train is fully packed. That is a way of tipping the scales, but not an honest argument.

The past 100 years of history have made it abundantly clear that cars are made completely unaffordable to the middle class, most of them will be on the road with only one occupant. A rare few will have two.

For some reason, families rarely have to commute to the same place, and lone drivers aren't super keen on carpooling with strangers.
Like the Turbo switch on a PC!

Of course those did have a purpose. You would run in Turbo mode all the time, except when you were running bad old software like I wrote, that used timing loops assuming a 4.77 MHz clock rate.
Have you tried using this? When I said

> sacrifice the ability to interact with text, resolution, color accuracy, frame rate, etc.

it’s very much an understatement... Pretty sure your devs/testers won’t appreciate the experience. Frontend devs in particular can’t possibly work with this.

I fail to see why it’s hard for you to spin up (possibly gated) dev/staging instances; certainly much easier and much less resource intensive than something like this.

Anyway, your use case only makes sense when the code can be self-hosted, but apparently this product / product category has customers before the source is opened up, and that’s what I’m curious about.

Hope this helps you on your serverless journey. All feedback is welcome.
This is totally different from systems that scale, where any application "state" is just transient from a request or message in order to facilitate a mutation in a dedicated store outside of the app.

It's notable that this is the model on which the world is built. This is the model that runs almost all the biggest systems in the world.

> For the people (families with young kids) that are most in need of a car, the average occupancy is much higher.

But obviously they are dwarved by the single commuters, or else the average wouldn't be 1.4 persons per car.

> So light rail/commuter rail is more efficient than an electric car when you assume that the car is single occupant and the light train is fully packed. That is a way of tipping the scales, but not an honest argument.

Let's look at the numbers again. To not disadvantage the car, we assume 20% capacity, which is the minimum possible for a car.

A single instance of the named train at 20% capacity accomodates 100 people while needing 2400kW. A single Tesla at 20% capacity accomodates 1 person at lets say 175kw if it is model 3. That is 24kW per person for the train and 175kW for the car. A factor of 1:7.

To reflect the real world data, we'll assume 1.4 persons per car from the souce above, which would mean a capacity of 28%. The train equivalent is 140 persone, meaning a factor of a bit more than 1:7 in favor of the train.

In my area the actual train during communiting hours is at least 70% occupied, BTW.

I'm not trying to win internet points here; there just is no way around the fact that electic cars are not in any way a meaningful solution to our climate problem.

UTC is a global clock. If I show the time in Sydney and the time here in UK, Sydney will be 150ms behind to me, and 150ms ahead to a viewer in Sydney, but I know the distance therefore I know if the clocks are in sync.

The time dilation between the two places is on the order of femtoseconds/second, a millionth of a clock cycle of a cpu.

> Child protection should be treated much more as a "local" than "global" issue.

That, unfortunately, is no longer an option. Pedophile rings including the content producers have realized long ago that going international gives them an extra layer of protection.
Yes, giving access to all communications worldwide to the cops still won't help them catch the abusers that don't record and post their abuse online. Which I assume is the majority of child abuse cases.
It is remarkable that so few across many countries in the world see the strength of that argument for healthcare.

Healthcare fundamentally, aside from its intrinsic value, additionally, is perhaps the most ‘potent multiplier for economic gains’ in the wider economy.

Shame it’s often treated as a burden.
That's the epitome of the 'what could possibly go wrong' meme.
I guess that is the end of the naysaying really; if the underlying OS supports DoH then browsers can use the settings of that resolver if present and rely on them instead of having to manually do it.

On another note; I like the principles laid out in the article, they do reflect how I'd want a system to act in the presence of DoH servers.

I bet the steps forward will be to test if the DHCP Server configured is capable of DoH and if it is, then using it only over DoH on that network. A second thing might be if DHCP or RA's learn a new flag that indicate the resolver uses DoH upstream or supports DoH itself.
We'll get rid of encryption when China and the rest of the countries in the world stop abusing human rights. Until that happens, shut up about this nonsense. It's much like telling us to disband the police because everyone should just get along and be peaceful all on their own.

This made me smile (“refute a hypothetical group of engineers...”). But even if the author is not refuting Kondo’s methods specifically, is the author not saying that acts of intentional tidying should be viewed with skepticism for putting form over function? When Kondo’s approach is a perfect counterexample of the claim that decluttering is putting aesthetics over efficiency.

Actually, I think this article is not about software at all, or decluttering a room, it’s about “ complex systems — like laws, cities, or corporate processes,” and then uses the word “systems” as shorthand for this, and then talks a bit about managing software projects but it’s really still about good corporate process, and then mentions tidying a room but mostly as a joke.

I think the actual point is more about large groups of people or organisms that function well together, and how you shouldn’t assume it is better to impose uniformity. Even then, though, it is easy to argue both sides of
this point, pick apart the examples given in the article, and use a codebase as an analogy to an organization.

The FSF is not 'attacking' such licenses, they're just arguing that they aren't free libre software licenses. It's the SSPL people and others, by trying to co-opt the free and Libre software movement by claim their licenses are something they are not, which are mounting the assault. And let's be clear it is a pernicious, aggressive and deliberate attack threatening, and in some cases knowingly intended to fundamentally undermine free software principles. This is an existential threat to the FSF.

If they just went away and propagated and argued for their licenses on their own terms, the FSF wouldn't have anything in particular to say about it.

What was the name of coffee in Bosnia historically? I can't believe it wasn't "Turkish coffee". I would expect that the name "Bosnian coffee" (that the article claims is now used) is something very recent (something similar to what
bigwheeler here writes about "Greek" coffee). Is the name even really used?

Btw, the proper formatting here is to separate paragraphs with an empty line and to remove all leading spaces in front of every paragraph, to avoid the text being treated as the source code.

I don't see how it's freeloading to not want to interact with a stupid popup chat robot. I will never, ever, use your stupid chat popup. Ever. So if I'm blocking it, you are losing nothing. Nothing changes for you when I block all your marketing tools, because I will not engage. In fact I actively disengage if I see any of them, so by blocking them, you actually stand a chance of me sticking around on whatever your service is, and unless your service is providing chat robot popups, you probably then stand a better chance of me actually making you money.
It's framed as child protection precisely because it shuts down any debate on the matter. Everyone sees through the terrorists excuse but child exploitation causes such rage in the population they agree to anything the government says will make it stop. Discussion of any news related to this child abuse will pretty much always be full of people advocating for execution, torture and rape for the perpetrators. Encryption is nothing to these folks.

The reality is encryption regulation will be a tool for governors to secure their own power. They will abuse the insecurity to spy on political opposition, whistleblowers, journalists, protesters, even their own significant others. Child molesters are actually a low priority target for them, just a convenient enemy for the public to rally against. However, arguing against laws that are said to protect children is political suicide because they just label the opposition as pedophiles and enablers.

Children are the perfect political weapon. Any law can be justified by saying it's to protect children. They aren't even using terrorists as an excuse anymore.

Renting itself is fine. Property ownership is actually a huge, annoying pain in the ass which, putting aside financial security reasons, and the fact that renters are often treated like scum, nobody would want to go through.

What is at issue here is landlording for private gain. As I pointed out, these rents are entirely unearned because nobody made land, and so should flow to the general public, not private owners.

Grandparent's claim was that other nations "can rely on the US's military to scare off attacks". Ukraine clearly can't rely on that, any more than Taiwan can. This quibbling over accounting is beside the point.

Philippines have already kicked USA military out of all the various bases they had built there. (No one who knows a bit of history was surprised by that.) RoK will eventually spend more resources supporting DPRK than menacing it, and they might very well kick USA out in the next decade. Korea fairly exemplifies the situation of nations who might consider USA military "assistance". Their current situation is far from what they would consider ideal, even if worse could be imagined. They could keep militarizing more and more, running to stand still, but that won't be tenable forever. We're told to fear change, but the change that the militarists really fear is more peace.
I think what people are really gravitating to with "utility CSS" when they say they finally "get it" or it say "feels like REPL" is the fact that you can get instant feedback in the browser using the inspector.

It's a bit like when you first "get" TDD. Which in my experience happens soon after you've got your spec listeners and live reload hooked up properly and manage to get the spec runner to react in less than 300ms. A whole new world of possibilities open up.

I'm not taking sides, but just want to point out that this quick feedback loop _might_ be clouding people's judgement as to the benefits and drawbacks of using a coding style such as this.
Personally, I associate Boomboxes with thugs who want to spread fear and intimidate people by brazenly playing loud, often lyrically violent music in public places. You still see it today in various forms, but hey, I’m whitey.
It's a complex subject. Most NTSC interlacing is what you call 3:2 interlacing. When deinterlacing this kind of interlaced content, the best method is a 3:2 pulldown which converts the frames back to the original frames, or almost all of them, that is. There is a few frames lost in this process. Eg, 30fps interlaced then deinterlaced turns into 29.97 fps. 24 fps turns into 23.976 fps. This introduces a sort of stutter that true progressive content does not have.

Also, in the 90s most anime, for example, was 24 fps, where modern day anime is 30fps or higher. This difference is noticeable as well.
On the 16th there were big protests again, as lots of people are generally unhappy with the state of affairs here in Czechia. Even Czechs no longer living here joined the protests in 63 cities around the world. CNN did a nice short article on it [1], if you'd like to read more about it.

10+ minutes of introduction, then the owner of Palantir talks about the eye of sauron and libertarianism, then changes topic to how things scale. Transition into saying the Obamas were bigger liars than Trump by 18ish minutes. Does it get better later? His other talks and his book are so much better than this (so far, halfway in).

The YT comments also note that he never mentions the end of the computer age in the talk.
And the FSF has even come up with their own license for network services, namely the AGPL - that is a full free-software license, since compared to the GPL it only clarifies requirements around public performance of the covered work (which unlike mere "use" of the software, is something that copyright law expressly grants as an exclusive right of the copyright holder!)
Personally, I love the old-school mechanics.

A couple of interesting facts related to the article:

1. The arabic word "finjan" adapted to "fincan" in Turkish means cup, as in the type of vessel used for any type of coffee, not only kahve. The "fincan" may have a handle.
2. Greeks are not the only ones to use mastic in their kahve. Some Turkish people not necessarily of Greek descent add it to their kahve and many other things.

This sounds like what CIA should be doing, right? It's like saying that military has an agenda to build more aircraft carriers and control all movements in the open waters.

The only thing I wonder about is whether this encryption crisis is just a lazy attempt to preserve the no longer working espionage methods or it's a smart conspiracy of evil people to break the humanity: convince people that there is a child or whatever problem and convince them to build the 24/7 monitoring system. This way people would build a prison for themselves.

In general if there are externalities then it's better to impose taxes that amount to the cost of that externality (plus the cost difference between enforcing the tax and enforcing the ban) rather than ban. That way if people really really want/need to use something like a car (e.g. the are mostly disabled and commute in from a country house) they still can.
