IIRC, the American accent is also specifically derived from the West Country accent, which to this day has some features that are more associated with AmE such as rhoticity and the father-bother merger.

This was because Bristol in particular was a major sea hub in colonial-era England, much moreso than London. As an interesting side note, Americans know the West Country accent as the "pirate accent" thanks to the 1950 adaptation of Treasure Island, where Robert Newton played Long John Silver and managed to convince the director to let him use his native Dorset accent because he thought it would be more historically accurate than the RP accent the director originally wanted him to do, and his portrayal was so iconic that pretty much every pirate story since has used some variation on Newton's accent.

> That's what professional students of linguistics are for.

Professional students of linguistics will say that the terminal -y was pronounced as "eye" in the time of Shakespeare; but by the time of Blake such pronunciation has already become obsolete. However, this doesn't help us distinguish between two possibilities:

- Blake's -y rhyme is purely visual and is no more than a nod to the tradition; it is not intended to be pronounced as /ai/, or

- Poems of that time used to be delivered in an archaic pronunciation, in which case "symmetry" actually rhymed with "eye".

I don't think linguists have an answer that would convincingly point to either of the two possible pronunciations.

This is the "self-referential" thing I was referring to. You're entering into this thought experiment with a pre-defined conception of how an economic mode of production must operate. You're presupposing the profit motive.

The US needs to treat this as an act of war by a foreign military/government, not as a criminal act by people acting in an individual capacity.

If the US can identify the individual hackers, then they should be able to identify the physical location from which the military committed the acts of war and respond with the use of force as permitted by the UN Charter and international laws and norms. By responding with grand jury indictments the US sets a terrible and dangerous precedent and is telling foreign governments the US will not do anything in response to military based acts of cyber warfare.

I do miss static typing.

I would question the claim it doesn't scale to production.
I know people who have build hugely complex production systems in perl that are still running today 20 years later.

Further, I myself work on what we believe to be the largest closed source julia code base, in terms of number of contributors, number of packages and total size. (Its also pretty large in general, though i have yet to work out how it stacks up against DiffEq-verse).
And I have seen thing go from research prototype into running in production.
It works.

I am not going to deny though there are advantages to other languages.

One saving grace is that coronaviruses (like the common cold or SARS) do much worse in the heat because they denature easily. Which is why SARS died off once summer came -- and which would help reduce the spread and severity of a pandemic in India or sub-saharan Africa.

Not really, unless it's a tong-in-cheek remark. Tiling window managers use virtual desktops and programmable positioning of windows to produce a predictable layout. Windows 1.01 had neither of those.

Add muscle memory to it and, if you can endure the learning/customization curve, you get a very efficient window manager. Whenever I'm alt-tabbing in search of windows in Windows or OSX I feel I'm using old software.

> Corona virus has infected fewer than 100,000 people and killed less than 1000

I heard this bogus reasoning so many times in the last weeks. You're comparing a disease that's global and reached pretty much everywhere to the one that's at its initial stages of spreading.

Coronavirus is highly contagious, at least 50-200 times more deadly than flu. It's exactly the virus you should be worried about.

When you walk with a flu into a doctor's office, he doesn't bat an eye. Coronavirus is treated in hazmat suits.
I feel your pain. I am also left-handed and during school times switched pen nibs every other month since they kept deteriorating. And I never quite got the hang of avoiding smearing.

I switched to writing almost exclusively on tablets a few years ago and it's so much better for me. I can't quite put into words how much of a difference it makes for me. Smearing is a non-issue and the pen glides fine either way on a glass surface.

There are some other benefits as well: I can no longer loose my notes and I'm a lot better about filing them away neatly digitally than I am with physical notes, but I suppose that might be a very personal thing. Having them indexed occasionally comes in handy as well.

I went from a Surface to an iPad Pro and vastly prefer the latter. If you haven't yet I would recommend giving it a try. These days even the normal $329 iPad supports the Apple Pencil and provides incredible value in my opinion.

San Diego was far more different than Austin, TX, and considerably different than Ithaca, NY.

I'm still legally a WA resident, and having done a lot of time around Seattle, Everett, Bellingham, and Vancouver, I can tell you there are a lot of similarities. Seattle doesn't have the Aberdeen Mall, but in terms of attitude there isn't anything you can't find in Seattle.

Once you get out of the city, guns, religion, and skepticism of the urbanites is just as common as in the US -- standard Urban-Rural divide. Hell, even the "fly-over" provinces are conservative, just like in the US.
It wasn't cancel culture. It was RMS trying to play semantics-lawyer on a public email list about what exactly the meanings of 'abuse', 'assault' and 'pedophilia' are.

That's where it falls apart. Systems tend to aggregate to seek efficiencies of scale.
Key point: at that time. It’s not an absolute.
The protochickens and chickens would at that point be so similar that a protochicken and chicken mating would probably have half of their offspring be chickens. At that point you're talking about one single DNA base difference, or something like that. If you were to watch it happen, it would be a very gradual gradient, and the only way to differentiate chicken from protochicken would be to match them up against an arbitrary list of qualities.
Can someone explain bashub to me? I don't get it at all. Bash history is already searchable (history | grep "foo"). Is the benefit just to be able to easily see what you ran on some other device?

the pitch is "Never lose another command again" but you can increase the size of your history file to be pretty enormous. Is being able to find a command you ran 2 years ago really a valuable thing?
I enjoyed the Pentester Academy course, and have recommended it several times.
I come from a family of schoolteachers and as far as I can tell since the 19th century the grip they taught was something like the "dynamic tripod", which of course is the one I use (and advocate strongly). Modern teachers who don't teach "proper" postural techniques just don't know better or have been told it doesn't matter. I think it does. There's a proper way to hold a pool cue, a golf club, a violin or a chef's knife. They come from people who were good at it and did it for a living, so what you're looking at are ways of doing it fast, accurately and for extended periods of time without injuring yourself. Handwriting isn't any different, it's just apparently not essential anymore.

I concede left-handed proper grips don't have that much tradition. As everything concerning left-handed people, they should get more consideration (maybe looking again at the practical assumptions about symmetry made by right-handed people).
I think it does matter who and we can in fact take issue with both who hacked it and the companies business methods.
They're a combination of that pretty much everywhere, but it's not clear to me what the "dominant" British accent is supposed to be. If there is such a thing, it's probably some kind of fairly unremarkable Estuary accent that doesn't have any strong connotations of a particular social status.

People write large-scale systems in dynamically-typed languages all the time. Multiple dispatch and macros make clean scaling easier than it would be in most other dynamic languages. Its competitors in numerical performance are C/C++ and Fortran, which are both minefields (C much more so). Julia is definitely safer in practice than these kind of languages with weak, unsafe type systems.

I'm not saying static types don't have benefits as well, but it would also be very against the design goals as a Matlab/R competitor.

Inheritance would also directly clash and overlap with multiple dispatch, which is strictly more powerful.

Wish you success in your undertaking!

Am I right that you have no problem finding donors, and just need a set of books to start off with?

Should those be IT-related books or some other (engineering/art/etc.)?

The target you specified (60 books a year) is rather high, only fiction books can be read at that rate (I also suppose the books would be not in your first language). If your friend is studying literature/communications that would be somehow connected to their study, otherwise it will definitely be a major distraction.

As a geek, the N95 was very amazing at the time:

2. Good maps app

3. 3G

These came years, sometimes many years, to other mobile platforms. The downside with the N95 was the lack or touchscreen and the crappy crappy Symbian UI.

But in 2007, I could stream music from a subscription service while using mapping to navigate, then take a SIP call.

why wouldn't AMD set aside a couple of engineers (or at least one) to make sure their processors are supported here? it's not like this would be a huge drain on their manpower resources and the company itself should have an immense interest in the best possible linux support.

At this point, OpenBSD has decided that two very popular open source licenses (GPLv3 and Apache 2) are unacceptable to them. That has walled them off from a lot of open source software.

> if by "solution", you mean some system we can put in place that will magically prevent them

Only a distributed system like capitalism rises to your bar of "magically prevent[ing]". Centralization is not magic, but when it works, it works. I prefer distributed systems too, but when it's hard to make the right incentivizes, we shouldn't throw in the towel.

Surely the parent post doesn't use a definition of "solution" that trivially invalidates their point. I think you are projecting your own preference for distributed systems as an inevitability.

In fact, I've thought of a "'race to the top' tariffs" system, which does at least create the right incentives between nations. If you are big market (e.g. US) put tariff on the difference between the manufacturing country's externalizes tax, and your own. This holds the total punitive disincentive constant, no matter who receives the revenue. The exporting country is now incentivized to raise their externalities tax so the tax revenue goes to them rather than the importing country. So simple!!
It shouldn't be a surpise.

The US has essentially on omnipotent traditional military force that can either engage or assure mutual destruction of any opponent on the earth. Nobody can compete successfully. But humans are crafty, and come up with ways to defeat irresistible force.

As we've seen predicted for 20+ years and demonstrated in the public space for 10, our nation's weakest link is that election system and political finance system, particularly for legislators. The checks and balances that are supposed to prevent egregious behavior are broken (see what happened to most US Attorneys since 2016, the impeachment circus, and 100 other things at the state/local level).

Building dossiers on Americans are a great, obvious way to wield this power and to target and enable espionage/influence activity. Recall that the federal agency that keeps records on background checks was breached a couple of years ago. So now you have a hostile nation state that knows everyone, and all of their background data, with security clearances. You can cross-walk that with Equifax information, health insurance breaches (Recall that Blue Cross was also breached), etc and do all sorts of interesting things.
"Linking" is already used to describe both object file linking (which is unrelated to deep linking) and html anchor linking (which is related to but different from mobile app deep linking). If you want a generic term, one can of course use the word linking to refer to deep linking, but it's often valuable to have a more specialized term that distinguishes links to functionality in mobile apps from links to anchors in web pages.
Yeah, like with iOS, where there's all sorts of special treatment for Apple apps versus third party apps.
