They don't need to know what my individual preferences are, actually, I would be glad if they don't try to "find them out".

Are you sure they're trying to ship what works best for most people? I've not read that anywhere. If they really wanted people to have a choice, they wouldn't be adding configurations that can't be switched on/off through they're preferences menu - like for example, that crazy bar they just added a couple of releases ago - oh.. and which apparently you are not allowed to switch off no more, not even through about:config, according to sibling comment. Also, they have a track record of breaking old configuration options quite often through updates.

I am grateful by what they offer - just not sure they're not sneakily changing course, similar to what chrome did.
I find that print debugging forces me to think through the execution and understand what my program is doing in my head. By having the restriction of not being able to change my print statements without restarting the program, I'm forced to understand the program better. Some restrictions foster creativity.

I will add that I usually add various levels of debug log annotations even before I run into a bug so that I know what my program is doing.

Also, when I'm on an embedded platform that can't run a debugger or writing an exploit for a security vulnerability, being good at logging is nice.

Lucky you! In the last 6 months Windows tried to install an upgrade, failing endlessly, on both my mother's and sister's laptops.
It just tried to upgrade, failed during the reboot, reverted back and booted on the old version, just to start the whole process again after a few hours. And all the Microsoft Windows Update Assistant tools or whatever didn't work at all, so I just clean installed in frustration.

TBF though, my 2013 desktop never gave me a single issue on Windows..

Your comment reads as someone who has an axe to grind with windows since you just trash it without explaining why and just saying that 'X is so much better on Mac, why can't windows be like that' is hardly an impartial argument and more you being more familiar with the Mac platform and less with windows.

Assuming everyone has all the problems you claim to have with Windows or XPSs and that MacOS is 'the best operating system' is anecdotal at best.

We've definitely had some issues with some XPSs at work but Dell's service was great, and I can't remember the last time someone got annoyed by windows or had any issues like you described without the fault coming from poor choices from our corporate IT or buggy apps.

This is not 0% or 100% stuff. 1% is alright here, 99% is alright too. However you feel about this issue, you can participate in any amount you'd like to, and that is ok.
I think this is wrong: Ioannidis's major point is that a lot of studies in medicine are underpowered (a similar issue to the replication crisis in psychology), leading to a lot of false positives. But there is no reason to think that this would be the case for a study that finds a vitamin deficiency in the population. We can expect no issues with p-hacking or garden of forking paths just because there is no place for them (the researchers are not looking for crazy-small interactions between vitamin levels and one of many possible outcomes, they're just recording the vitamin concentrations), and we know roughly the right concentrations for those vitamins too.

So I think this is misplaced skepticism, you shouldn't really dismiss studies so easily without thinking through the issues first. This would be much more relevant if the research was specifically about some random compound's small effect on Covid-19 without a prior reason to think it would be relevant at all - then the problems would indeed appear.

>> there's nothing in git commits or the code itself that forces wrapping at 80 characters

> Very clever leaving out the third component here that does force it.

Which component is that? The SMTP protocol? According to [1], the maximum line length allowed by SMTP is 1000 octets, which is well over any maximum hard-wrapped line length for typical source code lines.

> Assuming someone hasn't banally pre hard-wrapped the text.

Hardwrapped text is only a problem for displays that cannot display lines as long as the hardwrapped line length. It's not a problem for displays that can display lines longer than that. To me that indicates that if enough people are using mobiles to read code and patches, then we should consider line length limits significantly less than 80 characters.

> you basically can't even check a patch out on mobile without some major hassle.

Mobile email clients are not suited for reviewing patches due to the fact that they typically use variable width fonts and do not provide a way to post replies inline with quoted text. But that certainly could be fixed by connecting to a machine and attaching to a screen or tmux session to review a patch.

> Nah, this reply is given to even insiders that don't want to deal with that obsolete shit.

Citation please.

> I can say my ten-year-old laptop "works so far", but is it good, no, not really. It's really a rather weak argument to resist even changing the tiniest things.

Changes should improve on what's there, not go off on a different tangent. Github wasn't even originally designed for code review and it shows. The fact that you can't have threaded discussions (like Hacker News or reddit, not like Facebook) or Twitter) on a line of code, treating commits as something completely dissociated from the review doesn't sound like an improvement to me.

> Source code can be displayed using a code viewer, nicely, it works.

Looking at my python code on Github on my mobile, I find that I have to scroll from side to side to view the code which is wrapped to 79 characters or less for most lines. That's no different than viewing it in a window that does not softwrap the code. How would this be any different than viewing an email with the softwrap setting turned off?

Why can't those tools work when I'm getting 5 to 10 kB per second downstream? Email and IRC work perfectly fine. It's the same thing if I only have a GPRS connection on my mobile. You might call protocols other than HTTP obsolete, but they still work when you don't have that much bandwidth.

> You're still pretending that it was fast even with text patches, e-mails or git.

Exactly how much experience do you have on the internet at dial-up speeds? I was using dial-up from 1995 through 2005. Emails, whether they contained correspondence or patches simply did not take a noticable period of time to transfer.

Any trunked radio system hops between frequencies enough that this wouldn't work.

Individual radios get "paged" on a control channel and told where to receive. Eg, "Radios tuned to the police talk group, go to frequency X now." The speaker, when transmitting, gets assigned a frequency on the fly.

A baofeng could stomp on a transmission, but nobody would follow it otherwise.

I'm in the US, so my response is tailored to that.

You have to address the underlying issues in the system.

The main reason that people don't vote is because they don't think their vote matters. This could be because:

1. They don't like any candidate (can 2 parties really represent the intricate positions of 350 million people?). EXAMPLE: Biden or Trump? Both old, both talk nonsense, both corrupt - why vote?

2. Once elected, the officials tend to bend the rule to benefit themselves, their party, or their friends. Rule of law is a joke these days. EXAMPLE: many executive orders that go beyond specifying HOW to enforce a law, into blatantly ignoring it. Look at the executive order stating DOJ shouldn't target marijuana if it is "legal" in a state - the law firmly requires a tax stamp and this order blatantly ignores that. Going to the root of the issue, you could say that tax law is unconstitutional because they don't make revenue from it and the law only give Congress the power to tax "for the purpose of raising revenue".

3. Their vote is one of millions, so they think their voice is diluted. Or they see the surey results and think it is decided already.

4. They see the value of voting to be less than their other activities that day (job, hobbies, etc).
This is simply a result of how vitamin D is manufactured, and the lack of sunlight in northern latitudes.
As a fellow swede, I don't feel any compelling need to switch languages for discussing CS topics. On the contrary I'm rather sick of speaking other peoples languages after many years abroad and in international organizations. I try to use Swedish translation of concepts, when there are natural and intelligible ones available.

If there isn't a good direct translation available, just force a bit of swedish morphology onto the english root and everything flows. In some ways this makes our language richer and more specific than the one we borrow from. For us "mejl" is unambigous, whereas "mail" in english is not.

As a bonus, given an appropriate context, version control in Swedish is a cornucopia of innuendo.
PSA: Before supplementing Vitamin D, do some research on calcification and Vitamin K2.

Or you can trust a random person from the internet and supplement 40mcg K2 mk7 all-trans per every 1000IU of Vitamin D. That seems to be around the usual amount used in studies [1].

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate factor for high Vitamin D dosages of multiple tenths of thousands IU. Personally, I'd be wary of such dosages anyway.

Internet Users of All Kinds Should Be Concerned by a New Copyright Office Report
What I don't understand about all of this because I'm simply not in the know, so hopefully somebody can explain it in more detail, is this: Facebook regularly monitors posts for inappropriate content such as this. This seems more of an active "we want to leave this up" than a "we want to take this down" type of post, correct?

I have trouble forming an opinion on whether or not I agree with Facebook or with Twitter on the whole matter because I'm not well-versed with their previous T&C, and what would typically happen for a tweet like this from someone who isn't POTUS. If someone could provide some resources, that would be great and useful to myself and hopefully others who want to get a fuller understanding of this issue.

So I just use headphones all the time, but it's an incredibly negative experience to pop open one of your projects on your new laptop and hear this rhythmic popping. If it had also glitched in the headphones I might literally have thrown the laptop out the window.

The Lemon LALR(1) Parser Generator
For a freestanding implementation, the program entry point is entirely implementation-defined. It may or may not be called "main". In that kind of environment, "void main()" (or, better, "void main(void)") might be correct. You need to read the implementation's documentation.

For hosted implementations, "void main()" might be valid, but "int main(void)" is always valid.

A tutorial should not suggest "void main()" without mentioning any of this.

Reference: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf sections 5.1.2.1 (freestanding environments) and 5.1.2.2.1 (hosted environments).

Of course, because there are at least 5 types of protesters, all with different goals. There is no way to control this salad peacefully.

1. Peaceful protesters against police brutality (including peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters).

2. The radical wing of the Black Lives Matter, who believe that the time of peaceful protests is over and that the only way to change the situation is to use violent methods, especially directed against the police.

3. Marauders and looters: who leverage the protests to rob shops, destroy and set fire to cars and buildings. These people do not give a shit about any other groups.

4. Anarchists and Antifa: their goal is to stir up arbitrary rule, to destroy the system using extremely violent methods. They are catalysts of chaos and their main goal is to create chaos that will lead to the arbitrariness and anarchy of the crowd.

5. White supremacists and extreme right-wing radical groups. They're catalysts for chaos. To make things a little simpler, their goal is to "anti-advertising" any African-American civil rights movement against police brutality and racial riots in the United States.
