Totally agree. I was searching for this comment. It's extremely unlikely that a work year was 300 days thousands of years ago. But I don't think the workers had weekends either. So, might be more than 100 days but still should be roughly 3 times than the article shows.

Texinfo in general is also better for something longer than a few "pages" since it is meant for actual manuals, with content lists, indexes, search, hyperlinks, chapters, etc instead of the text vomit you get with with a manpage.

Similar to Windows CHM (for which there are cross platform tools to create and view - e.g. Free Pascal and Lazarus have their own CHM generator and viewer) and other similar documentation formats that provide some form of organization and metadata.
For me, spending in marketing doesn’t mean paying ads on facebook or alternatives. It is spending energy in refining communication strategy: refine interface into candy looking and easy to grab fruits, lowering entry barrier, increase visibility, pin point target audience and provide a simple, direct and clear message with a call to action.
Are you suggesting that the current situation for blacks is worse than when there were Jim Crow laws? When racist laws are in place, there are also cultural norms that exist with them.
True but it definitely doesn't do much to stamp it out.
In Britain, if you want to see racism, try being a white boy dating a non-white girl. If she's black, black males in general won't like it and if she's Indian, her family will almost definitely not like it.
It's very interesting to me the level of enthusiasm being shown towards Deno. It is clearly being embraced more than it has shown its worth.
> What happens to your OpenConnection object then?

It raises an exception. This interrupts the normal flow of things and asks you to deal with the problem asap. If necessary, the handling code then could try to reconnect or abort. If desired, it could return a closed connection to convey that state-change, so that calling code is made aware that it needs to reconnect first and can't just reused the now closed connection. You could revert it to a normal connection (a "Has never ever been opened to begin with"-Connection). Depends on whether your driver/adapter/underlying connection thing cares about a difference in initial connects or reconnecting. If the handling code can't deal with it, it can bubble the exception up one level.

Swapping a `Connection` for an `OpenConnection` isn't heretic by the way, such structures are described by the state pattern. Objects model state, Exceptions model events (state transitions) but the later isn't explicitly described in the original Gang of Four book that way. I just found that exceptions are very usefull for this, given that you react to them in only a limited scope.

Be aware that this idea is culturally dependent. In Java, Exceptions are often discouraged from being used in such a way (exceptions should never be used for control flow and only convey error cases), in Python it's normal to communicate state transition that way, e.g. for-loops watch for StopIteration exceptions.

No, it does not say such thing. “GPLv2 or later” says you are allowed to use it under GPLv2 or GPLv3 (for now). It does not allow to change it to GPL-2.0-only (to use the correct SPDX identifier).

The first can be done in a straightforward manner. Can Word do the second easier than Latex?

Nothing wrong with shipping slow SMR drives, the issue is, it was never explicitly disclosed to the customers/end users.

It's not that simple. Even it the letters "SMR" were used in marketing, most customers won't know what the technical term means or what its implications are. In reality, it means some drives using it, such as WD Reds, are not suitable for their advertised purpose. I don't know what the law says about this in any particular part of the USA, but certainly in some other countries that would be a breach of consumer protection rules even if the technology had been disclosed.
This will almost certainly NOT be done deliberately.

This is a common meme. It always turns out false or not proven (because it's false). See Tasmania and foxes.

It is an effective technique to harm the population, but since there is no terror it makes for crappy terrorism.

You'd need an informed public for this to work.
Trump chose Twitter as his platform; they never chose him. His tweets have been central to his political presence and his ability to immediately alter the country's (and world's) discourse about current events. It would be humiliating for him to lose that platform, because he embraced it voluntarily.
One thing i do not understand, why bother writing this format directly instead of using some WYSIWYG editor (none exists - that i know of - for manpages specifically, but... why?)? All you need is to have some autoformatting for the output so that diffs in source control (if you care for that) are readable, but beyond that you shouldn't need to care at all about how the source looks for something that is essentially a rich text document - and rich text editors existed since the dawn of personal computing.
One of the things we do at Red Hat is migrate virtual machines off RHEL 5-era Xen to modern KVM, and one of the problems we have is that you can no longer ssh into a RHEL 5 machine from a RHEL 8 machine because there's no common set of cyphers available. Currently you can work around this by relaxing the RHEL 8 machine's crypto policy to include "legacy"[1], although I wonder how long that option will be available.

For reference RHEL 5 was released in 2007 and is supported to the end of this year for some customers.

He is the commander in chief. He has the capability to threaten violence.

This tweet, while in bad taste IMO, was a threat to those who are planning to continue looting and burning buildings in Minneapolis.

I’m not sure if you’ve seen the videos, but there are full scale riots. Rioters completely looted a Target and burned it nearly to the ground.

Is “shooting” the answer to that? Probably not. And hopefully the National Guard is not going to do that.

But at the end of the day, this is the commander in chief making a public statement, and Twitter is editorializing it. Make of that what you will.
Please keep Twitter employees in your prayers, it’s really idiotic of Jack Dorsey to put all the employees at risk.

I used to work at Uber in 1455 on Market St, right beside Twitter and every now and then we had to avoid going to office or come at odd times given the protests.
Another way of looking at it is Britain tried to keep a fraternal commonwealth with free movement going for twenty years but couldn't carry the idea alone so it gave up and joined the European Union instead, cutting of everyone else including new Zealand and Australia. Which was a shame but how the world was going.
> In Britain, if you want to see racism, try being a white boy dating a non-white girl

Try being a non-white boy dating a white girl. Do you think racism doesn't rear its head in that case?

In any case, this is pretty blatant whataboutism. The article is about the UK, not about other countries, and racism in other countries does not make racism in the UK less bad.
To the people who are skeptical of Deno, I would urge you to have patience and try it out. Deno is a young tool and it will take time to develop the features that you take for granted in other systems. But Deno gets a lot of things right. I already love using it day to day.

I remember using Node when it was this age and thinking it was the future, too. And it was. But as with Deno now, there were problems. In fact, Node was far worse in many ways. npm was extremely unstable back then, for example, which often made it impossible to use. Deno doesn't have that problem. Node had to create libraries from scratch and invent a ton of non-standard things along the way to do it. Deno is built on web standards but can also leverage many of the existing Node libraries by using std/node (the Node compatibility layer) or with jspm.io, for example. Yes, there's the occasional quirk or missing library, but it's already easy to be productive with Deno and it's a lot of fun.
Famous ones, maybe “too obvious to mention” would be dailywtf and xkcd. Even an occasional dilbert is fun!

Also regarding dinner it starts at 8 for many.

Taiwan is like 30% mainlanders (support the KMT, families came over in 1947) and 70% native taiwanese (came from fujian before and during the Japanese occupation). The way the KMT took over the island in 1947 creates a lot of animosity between the two groups, coupled with the fact that the mainlanders control much more of the economy than the natives.

Even if the KMT wins elections in the future, they still have to cater to that 70% of the population that want very little to do with the mainland.
If you have followers on a twitter you have already built then it is just as important, especially if you have 20 million followers you stand to lose if twitter just decides they don't like you. For many it is your job, your livelihood, and your outlet to the world. For people and companies it may be the only way to reach out for collaboration with someone who you do not have a phone number yet and a twitter follower count is often used as a indicator that you are who you say you are, a filter of sorts. Since you can't go and meet every stranger in person elsewhere it is a requirement to have. Some people may not use twitter or only follow and never tweet but a lot of people use it as a necessity for communication, their personal well being, and businesses. Like it or not Twitter is worth billions for a reason and that reason is it provides a necessity for many that they cannot get elsewhere. The sheer size of Twitter already self-perpetuates their monopoly over that method of communication. It doesn't matter that you can go to Facebook if Twitter bans you. Take another industry for example such as TV. Disney bought Fox but was forced to sell Fox Sports because otherwise Disney would have had close to a monopoly on sports content as it already owned ESPN. Note it was not TV, it was only sports, a sub section of TV where they were deemed to have too much control. The internet monopolies just haven't had to face a determination of what is and isn't a subsection of social media but to be sure they are monopolies of public discourse.
You will show weakness and that weakness will be exploited again. How is that debatable is beyond me.

Police are allowed to use violence, that's their reason for existing, if that violence was misused it can be handled in non-violent way, that's what society is built around. It might not be instant or easy, but that's the difference between civil discourse and terrorism.
>> Probably more of an economic decision than one based in racism.

Yeah like denying service to "high risk" individuals(black people[0], muslims or women). It's all an economic decision which may be backed by some statistics and further keep the individuals in these statistics. Better, when you see high risk individuals (such black people) just run and gun them down because the economy tells us they may be dangerous. It's all about economy...right? Slavery was an economic decision as well.

I do wonder if expanding the site to show, say, the top 5 instead of just the absolute top song would be a better indicator; as it stands, it feels like Rammstein was right: "We're all living in Amerika".

It's important to note that more than a quarter of these votes were spoiled on the statehood question, so the democratic legitimacy of that portion of the vote is quite reasonable to question. The effective turnout would have been about 57%. Were the spoiled ballots to have been counted only 44% of people casting a vote would have favoured statehood.
Looting and even property damage is different from violence, and when it happens to a business it's different from when it happens to a person.

It's not that you should like or always accept such things, but the unpleasant part of being robbed is the fear of violence, besides which the lost property itself is usually a transient annoyance. Actual violence against your person is a great deal worse.
My biggest gripe trying it now is the poor keyboard shortcuts in windows.

Hitting ctrl+s is a reflex and while it might not need saving, it's annoying that it redirects focus to the search.

Likewise, F2 doesn't rename, instead tries to do something difference.

If it proves useful anyway I'll try to contribute a keyboard shortcut map to be more consistent with windows or VS, it might be annoying until then however.

Oh nice stuff! Glad to see educated people here. I think Weston Price was definitely onto something, however please be very skeptical of the claims about the cod liver oil and similar. They are a very poor source all things considered of vitamin a d and k; they also contains tons of rancid fat which I think everyone even the mainstream agree is damaging to health.

One thing Weston made me realize and saddens me is how even the upper classes of many countries nowadays follow pretty poor diets and food ideas. Like even they who could afford proper nutrition are not getting it, let alone the aspirants who emulate all the latest diet fads and trends.
Different places have different forms of political outcry. Protest by destruction of commercial property was a well-known component of American colonial resistance to Britain. (Consider the Boston Tea Party, for example.)

Personally I have never been part of a riotous protest, but in an academic sense I believe that destruction of commercial property does more to force a change in police activity than destruction of police cars and other public property (things that ultimately belong to the people themselves).

You can bet that there are more powerful people in the business community there, than on the police force.

I don't believe this is actively in the mind of most rioters, but I think it is part of the reason that rioting has a major impact on American politics.

We also diluted their concentrations and refined them, so it's not only "just moving them a few km up", we spread it way out in way smaller concentrations than natural deposits tend to be, which prior existed in very different structures due to the way they get formed.

And to note: I'm not saying that's actually a thing, what I'm taking issue with is these reflexive declarations of human activity supposedly being "too insignificant" as regularly being the go-to answer to many environmental changes and issues to categorically deny human activity as having any and all influence on them.

Imho that's just short-sighted and belittles how often we have been absolutely wrong with that kind of approach, only to then later having to admit "We fucked up and now there's not really a way to fix it, our bad".

Because contrary to popular belief, not even 21st-century humanity is without flaws, we are not omniscient, even when quite often pretend to be to justify that kind of false hubris of "insignificant human activity".
There are places where they are legal and you have the option of planning a vacation around a psychedelic experience.

My first experience with ayahuasca was in Netherlands and the afterglow of the experience was a good 3 months. The first month my depression was significantly better, the next 2 months noticeable better. After 3 months I remained on a plateau that was higher than the one I was on before the experience. The experience permanently removed my (arguably light) PTSD symptoms (I would get tensed every time I crossed the street due to an accident on the pedestrian crossway) and a particular "dark heaviness" that was part of my days from time to time.
This plus the mention of ProductHunt makes me think they fell into the trap of marketing to their fellow creators rather than their audience. That's a common mistake plenty of people make when building anything. Game developers market their games on game development forums, website owners market their sites on web development/webmaster forums, authors market on writing forums, etc.

They then forget that the typical person there is an industry peer or competitor rather than a customer, and that the chances of selling them on their product is slim to none.
