1. If I was there, on the front line, you'd just dismiss me as either biased, or unable to see what was going on in other parts of the line. This video has the widest field of view of anyone present.

2. Which particular part of this smells like horseshit to you? The news cutting the clip before airing it? The SPD twitter claiming that the police retaliated to an attack by rocks and bottles? Do you see any rocks or bottles thrown in the first 20 seconds of this video? Who are you going to believe - a cop trying to defend his violent outburst, or your own two eyes? In what universe is what you are observing a defense to an attack? Did you even look at the video?

3. Do you deny the neighbourhood being in good shape prior to this? I can confirm this one in person, by the way. Nothing was looted, windows weren't broken, no cars were burning.

Public archives are fundamentally political.
The IA is good, but the decision they made is very bad and has put their entire operation at risk.

Their leadership clearly both cares about archiving the web and also for advocating an expansionist view of content distribution (that in an emergency, any private organization has the right to distribute whatever content they want however they want to without regard for the right holders of the content?).

That's fine for them to hold both views but both roles are now at risk. It's a very sad and completely avoidable situation and I hope that the IA will course correct and avoid disaster.
I tried one of those. But you need consistency and luck (something that has to do with news trends) to succeed.

> I often felt overwhelmed by the ever-growing list of TODOs

This is an issue with a global set of todo lists. I follow a butchered BASB type of system. I just keep all ideas in resources folders. Todo items go in those folders, but those are just ideas rather than actual todo items. Then do an occasional review to determine what I want to work on. Whatever I decide gets a folder in projects and todo items get actual deadlines. If I can't work on it, then it gets archived and maybe I'll go back to it later. The only todo items I'll look at are in those project folders and they make progress based on deadlines or they get ditched.

This mentality is why I believe every centralized social media platform has a limited shelf-life. We don't have a lot of discussions like this about what people should be allowed to say in an e-mail, or snail mail, or on a soapbox in Times Square as long as they aren't harassing anyone directly. If you aim to run a global social media platform, moderating in a way that is satisfies every one is an unsolvable boolean satisfiability problem and acting on outrage from users is a vicious cycle. Eventually the proprietors will (understandably) start to feel responsible for the content that is posted on their platform and take actions that anger large parts of their userbase. The next generation will use the next hip platform that isn't encumbered by this legacy and then the cycle will continue.
Yes I'd like to see studies that show what happens if you have higher than 30ng/mL and if these people are on average are happier, fight infection better, lower cancer rate etc. I was saying in my comment we don't have the studies to back up that your 30ng/ml is 100% correct. Unless you can point to studies "scientific consensus" is merely hearsay.
> Microsoft will not facilitate installing older Windows versions on newer hardware

It usually works though nowadays, unless you go nuts and try to boot Windows XP or something. Are there any processors that flat-out can't run Windows 7 atm?

(Older versions of macOS, on the other hand, absolutely will not run on newer processors.)

My one current gripe about PyCharm is its seemingly lack of support for git submodules. As in I don't see any way to do a pull or push or work with branches on a submodule. I resort to doing all of my git work on the command line (which I don't mind - it's how I learned to work with git from the beginning).
> Why are you lying?

See, this is why Linux zealots don't effect any change in others. When OP wrote something incorrect about Windows, in my perception, I gave him the benefit of doubt ("Maybe you haven't been using Windows in recent years"). But when I wrote something incorrect, in your perception, you straightaway jumped to "lying".

And it's not as if you don't know that the possibility exists. You wrote, "just google for 'windows 10 ignores active hours'", which shows that you know that I possibly do not know about this.

And yes, I have no idea if this is truly the case. I suppose Microsoft determines that some updates are critical security patches and will push them through despite attempts to postpone indefinitely.

Of course, if they allowed you to postpone critical updates and you got hacked, then it's, "OMG!! This evil corporation WANTED me to get hacked, that's why I use Linux", right? You're hopeless, and I will not be wasting further time replying to you.

Edit: I did that Google search and found that Windows ignores Active Hours in the sense that it still downloads the updates. But it does not Restart the PC. I could be wrong, but I'd appreciate if you can state it politely.

I am glad your convictions are not strongly held. As you charge forward with this perspective, you may find more disagreements with those behind you than those in front. Bringing feelings to the surface is part of the healing and self discovery process.

> I have no data one way or another, but why would that matter?

I was curious about how you see your opinion reflected in the world. You seem to understand that it is not popular and are asking people to convince you otherwise. If not, I imagine you'd be in another forum right not having a much different conversation than can be had here.

> They made no claims to this effect, have announced zero partnership, and instead made claims entirely contrary to this.

It makes sense that they would do this if they were actively trying to lure the pro-copyright camp (Authors' Guild and publishers) into a difficult-to-defend and highly unpopular position. I agree that it seems a bit unrealistic, but surely the IA had to know that a lawsuit would be filed given their public claims wrt. the NEL.
It's been done using Tcl [0] in the nineties, in the EtLinux [1] project for embedded systems. One of the goals was to shave off memory usage by implementing tools under a single scripting interpreter (instead of each of them having their own binary). Kind of overlaps with BusyBox [2] philosophy...

I am guessing that they'd want you do distribute your program through their "App Store" as a UWP, which is likely subject to sandboxing and will never show the SmartScreen prompts.

Making raw Win32 .exe distribution as user-unfriendly as possible is very likely to be a goal of MS.

> If police are going to use force, from what I have seen, tear gas is less dangerous. It is still awful. I'd rather it not be used, but I just wanted to share what I've seen.

It's worth noting here that tear gas is generally prohibited to use during wartime. Bunch of treaties that countries have signed forbids the usage of tear gas.

But, seems what's not fine to use in war against enemy combatants, is fine to use against your own people in order to control crowds of people. Something here feels wrong, if it's put like this.

I'm neither agreeing/disagreeing with you, just worth noting how the rest of the world considers tear gas.

>> and opening Settings fires up Visual Studio of all things

> Settings opens what ever editor is your default for .json files.

And one can also point out that macOS opens XCode for (even XML-based) .plist files.

It's getting to be a standard convention, now that IDEs are almost "ships with the OS" kind of software, that the OS thinks configuration files should be opened in the IDE, rather than the system GUI text editor (Notepad; TextEdit.) Because, I guess, the system text editors were never really made to edit code, and make no guarantee that they won't break the formatting of code, while IDEs do make that guarantee.
It makes sense at scale. If you are a company of two there are probably better solutions.

At scale, you can very granularly define policies for each secret. When a secret is accessed, it is done so through a user or application identity. Each access is also logged.

Outside Plato's Cave episode 1 (02/06/2020)
Absolutely agree! Wouldn't have dove into the article without your comment. Thanks!

Does anyone know if there have been experiments confirming that light's angular momentum can be transferred like its linear momentum? Perhaps firing a rotating beam at a tiny sheet in space to induce spin and then reverse the light spin and confirm that the sheet eventually reverses.

Since this technique could induce some extreme spin over long time/distance, I could imagine using it to pull crazy maneuvers in space. For example, aim a tiny slightly off balance disc at a distant planet. Once it started entering the planet's atmosphere, a correct entry angle and spin could take it from being head on to entering orbit.
Thanks for that link. Glad to see that it is prioritized on their roadmap, and also to know that there is no point in my trying to work around their current implementation because it seems it just won't work the way vscode can work seamlessly.
> if your goal is to learn a new programming language, I don't see Zettelkasten being particularly helpful

I don't have experience with Zettelkasten, but after reading this article I'm imagining using it for studying algorithms in general and physics simulations in particular.

It even might be more useful than you think for learning languages. For example, the return expression in Haskell might look like a return statement from an imperative language, and might even be used in a similar way, but under the hood the two have nothing in common. There's a significant amount of foundational knowledge you need before you can jump in and start doing practice problems.

Why don't impressions matter?

It's important that more people see officers and get the impression that they are there to enforce peace, not dole out violence -- while still ensuring they have the tools to maintain safety and order. Large, threatening military-style vehicles don't send a good message to people who are already scared for their safety.
But I don't need or care about all that, what I need is a hub just like we had all those years that gives usb3 connectivity in a c form factor to 5 devices or more. If I need more there are plenty docking stations available.

Corona-specific issues aside, I'll bet that publishers don't care that much about the current situation.

I do believe however that they're after a precedent being set, and though I'm definitely not a lawyer, I know that at least for brands and trademarks, you have to defend your property or lose it. The same might apply to their literary IP. If IA does it, then 'anyone else can do it', in which case the entire value of publishers business is vaporized.

My instinct is that the publishers want the IA to 'stop doing it' and the situation will likely end up something along those lines.

Yes, minted works like that -- it starts a python child process to use pygments to do the syntax highlighting. But with minted and TikZ there's a single element of "source code" in the LaTeX file (a code listing or tikz code fragment respectively) that maps to a single element in the output (syntax-highlighted code, or a TiKZ image). Whereas with Penrose, there would be multiple source code files (the style and substance code). I'm not sure it quite fits the native LaTeX model does it? Maybe it's better just to use Make to generate the Penrose diagram for inclusion via \includegraphics?
That's why conda stores the metadata in a repodata file. Solving dependencies happens first; then binary packages are downloaded.
In what circumstances would escrowed money be forfeited?

If the escrowed money doesn't go to the parties, then there's no incentive from either side to consider the other side's escrow when determining their actions. Or worse - someone could file a suit and dismiss it later just to force escrow to be paid out. I think you need a lot more details on what happens in each scenario here.
Yes, but it's a start. MRAPs are expensive; a lot of departments that have them likely couldn't afford one if they weren't handed out for free.
I have a MacBook Pro from work, and a Lenovo X1E Gen2 with Linux (Fedora KDE spin) at home. The Lenovo is slightly newer, but the two are roughly equivalent.

The Linux machine needs work for setup. The laptop shipped with Windows, so installing Linux is on you - but Levono started shipping some of their laptops with Linux.
I pretty much just installed Fedora from a live CD.

Once setup, it is faster, KDE is easier to use - I realize that is subjective, has better heat management, lighter, an even better keyboard - Lenovo is known for that, and is more reliable.

With a good deal the X1E also costs 30-40% less than the equivalent MacBook Pro.

I like the MacBook as well, I just think it does not justify the price and if you are a little bit tech-savvy there are better or at least equivalent options out there.

Edit: I also have a 2013 Lenovo T440p that I gave to my son, it's still a strong and fast laptop - and the improvements in Fedora/Linux made is _faster_ over time, not slower!

Being in Denver, that particular example may be related to someone in the cannabis industry. The bank lockouts and cash build up that's common in that industry make individuals in it prime targets for robbery[1]. With extreme violence[2] involved in some cases, it'd make sense for those stuck in this situation to invest in things like an armored vehicle if feasible.

While still a situation that's a direct result of and reflection on US policies, it may be a more specific issue than a general national trend towards greater stratification.
