Anyone else had the "Bugs be gone" commercial played before the actual video? I was totally confused and eventually found out that this was an ad by Ultimate Premium. This was probably the first time an ad actually worked on my in the last couple of years.
I'm amazed how many people are on the "Inflation Bad!" bandwagon these days.

Having a flexible money supply that can be manipulated by a central authority for the benefit of the economy as a whole seems to me like a good thing.

I like this aspect - "You will not get rich by joining early", but I fear that without get-rich-quick mania, adoption will be limited.
referring to legal open carry, California changed the gun laws after the Back Panthers did the same back in the 60s.

The problem with systematic racism is the "percieved threat" part. When I have that racisit bias, I obviously will percieve a black person more as a threat than a white one. I may not even be aware of it, and facing ones own biases is a hard thing even more so for such serious things as racism and police brutality. When this bias is combined with the kind of training US police is getting, it a given to end up where the US ended up.

The only nice thing is, it also shows where to sart to remedy theissues. Once the police and the poluation accepted to see the issues.

Is submitting yourself to the concept of a god not the opposite of introspection? You are forgoing the need to find meaning in yourself and the world around you and instead choosing to believe a pre-made 'answer' to those questions.

To me this is like choosing to throw yourself into a relationship only because you find that you struggle with being single. Using an easier, readily-available external source of comfort found in being part of a 'collective' rather than the more difficult path of becoming comfortable with yourself as an individual.
The director page would be much better if it listed the favorite movies of the director. By the way, how do you get that data? Can it be trusted?
My (grossly over-simplified) experience has been that European services tend to focus a lot more on localization than US-based ones, with the latter focusing a lot more on time zone issues, since that is a topic very relevant to the US. Not so much in Europe, where most countries share the same time zone with their neighbors and are only situated in a single one themselves.
No. We are in a world where people don't bother reading comments rationally and jump to conclusions and get upset over nothing.

> Are we in an alternate reality where 67 year olds immediately drop dead?

This is called a straw man. Where did I say this? Reread my comment calmly and rationally and you'll see I never wrote that.

Didn’t Python zope did it in 1990’s era. Looks like we are going back where we define content type (archetypes in zope/plone) and generate forms and content based on it.

Still plone does it much better than any of this headless CMS, why don’t people look at it for design inspiration rather than reinvent the wheels and do much worse job.

Eh. This is how the banking system works.

Once some entities in the network become big enough, and transactions large enough to warrant credit checks and so on, what do you have? A bank. This is nothing more than an unregulated settlement system.
> Now... there is a possibility of 'I was correct once... so I am also correct on other unlikely things that might happen' fallacy.

As you don't know what else I am predicting that will happen, you can't call it a fallacy. These things WILL happen: serious epidemic (woops, ticked that!), highly destructive solar flare, catastrophic climate change, diseases caused antibiotic resistant bacteria, food production problems from widespread use of what are effectively plant clones (monocultures)[0].

Now tell me I'm wrong, that any these can't happen. They might take a while but when they hit they could be serious to extremely serious. Low risk but high consequences.

> Not saying you are wrong on this case.

OK

> Just that you remind me of my dad...

So you are saying I'm wrong or what? I think you're talking down things the same way as the other poster for the same reason.

Well, I'm not your dad. I'm not here to show off being right. I'm trying to avoid catastrophic situations. The first step to doing that is identifying the problems (listed above, I will presume you agree with them?) then deal with them by actually... dealing with them. That's step 2, which the great majority of people won't take because it's uncomfortable. Easier to deny.

In my country, what counts as a 'public health' matter is essentially arbitrary. Or at least seems that way to me.

For example, smoking, sunblock usage, sugary drinks, STDs, binge drinking and falls by elderly people are widely seen as public health issues.

Safety nets on trampolines, malnutrition, illegal drugs, suicide, bad diets and road traffic accidents are sometimes seen as public health issues.

Skiing, rugby, workplace fall prevention, migrants using unseaworthy boats and violence between drug dealers are almost never seen as public health issues.

If there's a clear dividing line, I can't see what it is :)

Many people won't like this, but I cannot explain this phenomenon other than that it's the result of years of normalizing gun ownership.

Shootings are a very real and somewhat regular occurrence in the US. Here in Germany, it's literally not an issue people worry about. When was the last time you saw a gun anywhere in Germany? The majority of Germans would probably say in the holster of a policeman or possibly someone they know is a registered hunter.

Indubitably, the crazy amount of guns coupled with a tendency to romanticize them leads to policemen being more on edge and willing to pull the trigger -- because worst case, you have an armed loon in front of you that might just shoot first. The initially suggested idea of sending an unarmed civil service guy to de-escalate some situation sounds great in theory, but honestly I wouldn't want to be the guy trying to talk sense into an armed loon.

The fact that the above poster estimates there to be a thousand rightful shootings for every wrong one should really warrant the question of why there are a thousand shootings in the first place. That is not the norm.
That is usually true for a lot of timezone-free times for U.S.-based companies, but the article states that the inaugural broadcast is 12 PM Pacific time (PDT), which is UTC-7. The schedule lists this broadcast as occurring at 12 PM, which aligns with it being set to Pacific time. Makes sense, as Cloudflare is based in San Francisco.
It's hard to get the idea across.

Content = I am happy the way I am.

That's it. Being content is being passive by definition.

A lot of people don't want to be passive and that is perfectly okay.

Sure, but now we're comparing an open source product you can build yourself that might be doing something shady but where we have no evidence of that, against a product derived from the open source version that is openly adding privacy-eroding functionality, and with a corresponding privacy policy that is ambiguous at best about how far it will go.

> there are some minimum legal hours of seminars you have to attend

True, but that's like a few dozens hours over 3+ years.

> and classes you have to teach during your phd.

Nope. Might depend on the “École doctorale” or the lab you are attached to, but that's not a universal requirement.
Go up to the comment of gbronner to which I responded. If people are bothered by the fact that retirees study and do their doctorates, they should ask themselves the questions I have asked. I think it's good if pensioners keep themselves busy in a meaningful way, as long as it doesn't put an additional burden on society. Imagine how much society benefits when pensioners use their time to study cell metabolism and use the vast amount of data available to discover connections and mechanisms that lead to new antibiotics or other useful drugs instead of being bored and spending the rest of their lives in front of the television. And unlike you, I don't think it makes any sense at all to let people study stuff that primarily costs society, both for the study and for the subsequent maintenance of these people. Enrichting the intelectual culture is good, but for this we do not need the legions of historians, publicists, media scientists or philosophers, or other fields of study whose sole purpose seems to be to create offspring of their own kind.
Yes and I understand, my point is that savings and investment aren't really qualitatively different activities. Savings are investment in money, and 'Investment' is investment in non-money goods.
I bought a nice samsung 4k HDR smart TV a couple of years ago in an xmas offer from argos, connected it to a linux mediaPC and never setup the network for it.

It's a dumb panel that displays video exactly as FSM intended - I don't even use the built in speakers, I use a nice set of PC spears with a sub.

I actually don't know what the smart capabilities are, I turn it on, switching to HDMI2 and never touch it again.

At least in Munich, the latest protests are around a time everything is opening up again anyways.

The anti-lockdown protest happened, more or less, during the hight of the lockdown. So totally different circumstances.
As someone who built a house not so long ago I can tell you that the official German words are "Tiefspüler" (the modern type) vs "Flachspüler" (the old type). The old type is recommended for elderly people who want to inspect their stool regularly for blood, maggots and jewlery.
From my experience you have to do that anyway if you have a custom data model.

Usually the administrators who are defining a CMS model are also the developers consuming it.

Editors need to get trained in the CRUD interface of that model: the UI and the implications for the frontend.

This is completely orthogonal to the CMS or whether it is headless or not.

Strapi has an interface and semantics that are very clean and conservative, I assume for this reason.

It being headless removes complexity and allows it to be more minimal and focused than a vanilla Wordpress installation, which can definitely help in that regard.

ORMs are excepted in my book. Good point. But DB integration tests are possible; slower than unit but still faster than end to end. I created some recently for a side project to make assertions about full text search behaviour, so I could swap out psql for elastc search (for my sins) and have coverage still.
Hi, thanks for posting. Is there a demo or screenshot so we can see without creating an account?
Hey, I'm neither a Catholic nor a monotheist. I've got no personal dog in this fight, except that as a rule, my sympathies are generally aligned with indigenous peoples. And yeah, people can be super hypocritical: mote in your eye vs. the beam in my own, et cetera. And yeah, I agree that the genocidal excess commited by the conquistadores was, taken as a whole, the worst thing happening in the Americas at the time.

But Diego de Landa wasn't taking it in as a whole. He was just having his personal experience. There's little reason to doubt the child sacrifice incident: that kind of thing absolutely did occur, and is well-attested both textually and archeologically. He didn't have the 10,000' view of the American genocide: he had a personal view, and he acted accordingly.

Usually I'm not this sympathetic. When I read first-hand accounts of Pizzaro's conquest of the Inca at Cajamarca, for example, I'm appalled. Pizzaro's guys take umbrage at the Incan' Emporer disrespecting a bible by throwing it, incomprehending, on the ground. In retribution for this, they delight -- positively delight -- in immediately slaughtering several thousand unarmed members of the emperor's court. It's absolutely sick and indefensible, driven by a religious zealotry that (IMHO) had stripped them of their basic humanity.

I'd always assumed that Diego de Landa was a similar kind of zealot, but when I read more, I found that it wasn't so simple. That's all I'm saying. Even when things are black and white at a high level, there can be greys in the details.

I think a lot of people are missing the point of a tool like Strapi.

1. CMS experience for non-technical teams: marketing, product, content, etc.
2. Graphql api to avoid lock-in. Tomorrow you can take your data to AWS Appsync, etc
3. Ownership of the data: Contentful, Prismic, etc are great - but Strapi allows you to own the data. Even in its simplest form, its a sqlite file you can check in to git.
Who says it's lying? Modern Western world has never had a pandemic in the current globally connected world.

It's easy now to say: just wear masks. But then, there was even a global shortage of masks for health professionals.
Sweden did screw up the retirement home situation somewhat, but in terms of excess deaths all Nordic countries look identical. Finland, notably, doesn't even count covid deaths outside hospitals according to the THL, so comparing Swedish and Finnish covid stats is a bit silly.

The Swedish catastrophe is always another 2 weeks away, and secondary effects of a lockdown (like delaying non-critical medical procedures and not screening for cancer) are likely to be much more significant than anticipated. Let's not forget that lockdowns were a knee-jerk reaction enacted by scared politicians, not a carefully considered and data-backed policy.

Growing up in Belgium in the 80s and 90s I also remember Canal Plus and their encryption scheme - and trying (rather fruitlessly) to watch through a movie regardless - but of course, without the sound, that was a fool's errand.

I always wondered how the decoding worked, and for its time, using the serial number of the equipment as part of this calculation was a good one.

I wonder why I've got downvoted. It might sound like and advertisement but it's actually true.

We use Strapi in production alongside Eleventy, a simple static website generator.

One thing we've been missing with Strapi however is the possibility to localize content. I know the issue was raised but I'm not aware of any roadmap and we needed to hack our way around this limitation.
> You literally change the language in your program. That's a very different expectation for other kinds of languages.

I wonder about that. A few weeks back I read about a coroutines implementation in C, using plain C and lots of intricate preprocessor definitions:

https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/coroutines.html

There are similar examples in just about any language out there. People use whatever tools the language ecosystem provides to change the language to fit some problems better. Some languages are easier to change and extend, some are harder, but that doesn't stop people from trying to do this anyway.

I think there's a level of familiarity with the language above which changing it is a natural thing to do. It can take years before you learn a "normal" language well enough to be able to do this, but with Forth, Scheme, Prolog, and the like, you're basically required to do this from the get-go. My intuition is that these languages simply target advanced, already experienced programmers, while completely ignoring the beginners. So it's more of the optimization for a different user-base, IMO. That would also explain how these languages are still alive, despite their communities being very small for the last 50 years.
I think it was used in 90s in Poland by Canal+? At least when you tuned to the encrypted channel it looked exactly like it says in the article - every line was shifted randomly.

I know people bought cheap pirated decoders that decrypted the channel without the need to pay the subscruption fee.

It couldn't be the exact same system because we have PAL, but it was something very similar.
The first sentence of your second paragraph gets to the root of a lot of political polarization in the US. (and the converse is obviously true, too).
I assume that it depends on old code. With old code opensourcing can be really tough.

One reason of course is "embarrassment" as it's "ugly" code and you want to run a full review and audit and eventually cover private APIs from other modules. That's however solvable.

More complicated is another reason: Legacy software often contains code contributed by contractors and acquired from external vendors, where there is no license for making it open source. Sometimes such third party code is even deeply webbed in and legal review is a pain as you have to figure out the origin of essentially each line of code. This can be a lot of work.

I observed how Sun did this with Solaris and over multiple years managed to bring it down to a handful libs with third party code (some internationalisation thing comes to mind, meanwhile replaced in the illumnos sphere)

> the number of deaths divided by the number of people estimated to be infected, by prorating an antibody test sampling to the wider population. So that doesn’t assume everyone got exposed to the virus

To get the rate one can indeed calculate it with smaller representative sample, but that just doesn't imply that the vulnerable people would somehow never become infected if the epidemic continues, so the deaths of the old can't be avoided then. That the old die much more is a fact, and nothing that by itself "exacerbates" the rate.

Edit: I haven't seen any argument that estimated more than 20% of NY population that were supposedly infected were somehow specially skewed sample to hit only old people, and I'd argue that if the sample is that big it's quite improbable. If the argument is that the virus got faster in the nursing homes, one can also argue that all the old people outside of nursing homes skewed in the another direction by managing to initially not get the infection, but that as epidemic progresses they would indeed eventually become infected and suffer.

Edit2: "the virus is rather showing signs of going away" claim is very curious to me. I don't see it "going away" looking at all the statistics across the different parts of the world. I see only the slowdown of the spread, which corresponds to people generally changing their behavior to slow it down.
How does this differ from disabling telemetry in VSCode's settings? The documentation doesn't seem to include a comparison
> Should we now also imagine/project the homicide death rates if all civilians were peaceful and happy and compare it with that of the real deaths caused by the police?

Almost. We'd need to compare actual homicides to an imaginary world where everyone cooperated with the police while being arrested.

The police killing someone is, on the face of it, a significant problem. But some percentage of police-caused deaths are justified and would be acceptable after careful review of what happened.

I think everyone would prefer 0 police-related deaths, and all options are on the table to get there. But to compare oranges to oranges properly it would be necessary to split the category into police abuses of power vs unavoidable/reasonable uses of force.
