I learned about this one the hard way when I went to update a really crufty (~ 1 year since last update) Arch system I use infrequently the other day. I had failed to update my libarchive version prior to the change and the package manager could not process the new format.

Luckily updating libarchive manually with an intermediate version resolved my issue and everything proceeded fine.

This is a good change, but it's a reminder to pay attention to the Arch Linux news feed, because every now and then something important will change. The maintainers provided ample warning about this change there (and indeed I had updated by other systems in response) so we procrastinators really had no excuse :)
>you have this exactly backwards, at least as it relates to the US constitution. human rights are intrinsic and inalienable.

Not really. Those are mere words, the premises of the philosophy of those writing the constitution.

There are no "intrinsic and inalienable" human rights in nature (of course: nature doesn't care one way or another) and not even in human cultures by default (empirically obvious).

American US-constitution rights, whatever the constitution says they are based on, are only emerging and based on the constitution itself, and the power the government/police/army etc have to enforce it.

In other words, the constitution says that these "rights are inartistic and unalienable" in the same way (mere philosophy/belief) that another constitution in some other country would say "rights are given from God" or "rights are based on the wisdom of Huhumu the Great, our founder and first leader" -- and of course the rights don't even have to be the same. What a constitution says rights come from doesn't make it so. A racist regime would also have constitution and also declares some reasoning and some foundation for the rights it describes in it.

So what any Constitution says about how rights came to be or why they are chosen, is orthogonal to how rights appear, emerge, and are enforced in the real world.

>the constitution only lays out the limited ways we intentionally and cooperatively delegate certain powers to the government for our common good. the government does not bestow any rights upon us.

Well, "intentionally and cooperatively" is a misleading too. It's the notion of the social contract, but nobody actually allowed the people to vote for the Constitution they want (not to mention that blacks, women, and the poor, couldn't vote at all at the time, and had no say at all, and for close to 2 centuries later).

[1] (to the degree they are - those "intrinsic and inalienable" rights wouldn't apply to southern blacks until the Civil War, and to blacks generally and fully, not until the 70s)

We'll replace petrol stations with using the areas for roadside stops with cafe, shop and charging station. The picture will be more like the 1950s than today with perhaps fewer overall. Humans will still want a break, lunch, opportunity to take a leak, stretch their legs etc... add top up charging to it and you've reinvented the gas station and roadside diner.

I am really liking Quasar Framework for quick Vue development.

I don't hate the JVM, but there are certain applications where I'd like to have something that compiles to native code.

FLOSS is a very good cause and it attracts people with an open heart who do care about good causes. However, the goal of FLOSS is not to be a guardian of how people should live, nor should it be a judge or a police to prevent or sanction the evil in this world. There are different and better venues for this!

If I see a project adopt such a license then for me it's a sign of immaturity and not being able to manage the power that being a maintainer brings. I'd definitely try to avoid such software as it doesn't fulfil the four freedoms and thus isn't FLOSS.
>As the article explains the owner is drawing his HR from the Egyptian immigrant community.

And good for him, too! He deserves to be incredibly proud of the work he's done. I can imagine that the two-hundred-odd employees he has hired represent just a fraction of the people he's positively effected - especially if they are Egyptian immigrants. Many of them likely brought their families to the US as well.

I'm incredibly proud to be an American, hearing stories like this. (Unfortunately, that's in spite of our current administration's attitude towards immigrants. Let's hope that next election manages to turn that sentiment around with a new candidate.)

There were ways for him to communicate those same ideas less negatively.

And it was more than just the "garbage" line. It was also things like "If I haven't convinced you of that by now, I don't know what I can say.", and "See how simplistic - and self-centered - your expectation is?".

Writing this way doesn't "streamline" anything. I interpreted it as a negative interaction, and clearly others have as well including the original author (since he said as much in his response).
Back when I was an heavy UNIX user, in search of nice IDE like features, I settled with XEmacs because the community was more open minded regarding the integration of graphical capabilities.

You are dealing with multiple vendors, who all bring their layers of customer support and sales people before you even get an estimate of the required change.

This citation does not support the claim. The paper is about literacy in children during the development of literacy.

Abstract:

> Digital writing devices associated with the use of computers, tablet PCs, or mobile phones are increasingly replacing writing by hand. It is, however, controversially discussed how writing modes influence reading and writing performance in children at the start of literacy. On the one hand, the easiness of typing on digital devices may accelerate reading and writing in young children, who have less developed sensory-motor skills. On the other hand, the meaningful coupling between action and perception during handwriting, which establishes sensory-motor memory traces, could facilitate written language acquisition. In order to decide between these theoretical alternatives, for the present study, we developed an intense training program for preschool children attending the German kindergarten with 16 training sessions. Using closely matched letter learning games, eight letters of the German alphabet were trained either by handwriting with a pen on a sheet of paper or by typing on a computer keyboard. Letter recognition, naming, and writing performance as well as word reading and writing performance were assessed. Results did not indicate a superiority of typing training over handwriting training in any of these tasks. In contrast, handwriting training was superior to typing training in word writing, and, as a tendency, in word reading. The results of our study, therefore, support theories of action-perception coupling assuming a facilitatory influence of sensory-motor representations established during handwriting on reading and writing.

You can have a separate database file as a backup for your TOTP secrets. This way you can setup the TOTP with KeePassXC directly, then transfer the secret to your phone for example. This assumes you can trust the device from which you setup TOTP with KeePassXC.

I would like parcel much more if they just emitted ES Modules. I don’t understand the logic of having their own loader in 2020. Same complaint I have with webpack. Just target systemJS for older browsers like rollup does. Leveraging a very efficient existing well tested solution seems wiser to me than reinventing the wheel

I don’t understand why they don’t support that. You can really leverage smaller bundles this way (no bundler runtime for modern browsers for one). You can also leverage type=module in the browser (which parsers more efficiently by default[0]) and use the nomodule attribute for differential loading.

Of course this assumes browser targets, which I feel like is the main target for these tools most of the time.

From what I gather, it worked fine technically, but very few customers actually decided to use it. Lots of Tesla owners tried it once, but most realized that it wasn't worth paying the cost associated with additional complexity (it wasn't free) especially since it's actually really nice to have a 20 minute break after driving for five hours.

As a fellow Coptic Egyptian, I can tell you that his ability to directly source talent from Coptic Churches in the area is a huge advantage for him.

Just like how warm intros in the VC world signal that the person making the intro can vouch for them as trustworthy, a similar benefit is had when sourcing employees from a tight knit ethno-religious community.

If he hires them to manage a gas station and they steal, cause problems, or anything like that, the community will know about it and their reputation will suffer.

Jewish law is an amazing rabbi(t) hole that you can go as deeply down as you wish. Look at the Shabbat laws about pickling, and what is and is not forbidden under them. It's such a fascinating study that you could dig deeper and deeper into it for a lifetime and ignore the question of what, if anything, you believe about the God at its root. Between this feature and the obstacles it places before any closeness with non-observant people, it displays the rabbis' brilliance and foresight.
Likely causes:

1) PC is desperately under-provisioned, probably several years old and upgraded to Windows 10

2) Too large roaming profile (easy situation to get into and hard to spot other than "it's slow")

3) Too slow AD profile server to get the large profile from

4) Internal websites "should" use NTLM authentication if available, which would remove the requirement to log in again, but forwarding this outside the domain properly is remarkably hard

5) Smartcard auth can offer the dropin use case with no typing, but it's a pain to provision and costs more

> Learn how to really use a relational database, relational data modeling, and SQL.

I have to second this. There is so much power in relational databases that is untapped by most developers. The best part about this is that, for the most part, this type of knowledge can apply to multiple databases.

Some specific things that I want to gain a deeper understanding of are window functions[0] and recursive CTEs[1]. In particular, I've used window functions to identify peaks in sensor data (e.g., finding spikes in temperature, water level, etc), which would otherwise require iterating through rows and maintaining a bunch of state. I've never actually written a recursive CTE, but I'm pretty sure it would simplify virtually anything dealing with a hierarchy.

Perhaps.

But also I wouldn't call blade runner steam punk. I think it was more influenced by the actual urban blight in the 1980s. The gentrification white return trends were not foreseen, so it was assumed there would be more hollowing out.

Then again, that the big pyramids are downtown, and not in Anaheim or something, defies that explanation. Contrast is abhored both by suburbs / white flight / gated communities which seek to flee and hide wealth, and the modern trends of urban neighborhoods being uniformly more wealthy than they appear.

Right he gets a great work pool from his local church of people willing to go the extra mile for $15 where as typically you cant get anyone to even show up for that kind of money. Maybe access to a bit of local muscle as well if he needs it.

That being said, I don't think anyone really cares how clean a gas station is you pump gas at is, but the convenience store (where all the money is made) is another matter. If its the cleanest/safest redbox/amazon box around people are going to be showing up there just for that and that's going to drive traffic, if you can add some other decent extras you might even convert them into repeat costumers. Just keeping the store clean and free of drug addicts is already a big competitive advantage in keeping customers.

On long roadtrips, sure. But 90+% of gas stations are just on a random corner catering to commuters and locals who will no longer have much need for their services. The C-stores may remain, but without the necessary gas stops, there will be far fewer of them, perhaps as many as CVS/Walgreens.
