Apparently it's a thing in Japanese companies for the so called "salarymen". Because the general expectation around these jobs is that they are for life, it's frowned upon to let someone go - instead, you will be sent to the corporation's rural office, with literally nothing to do 8 hours a day. It's designed as both a form of punishment and as a way to make someone quit.

Piracy is the result of you wanting something and not wanting to pay anything towards its creation and the upkeep of the creators. Piracy is the collective result of personal greed. Don't try to hide it, and don't try to tart it up in some BS about bad business models.

I'm afraid France Télécom didn't just give their employees "nothing to do", they actively made their employees' work life hell and harassed them psychologically, resulting in 35 suicides.

You're probably right. They would only be infringing your trademark if they were doing business in the same category of goods and services. What they're doing sounds much more like some kind of defamation than any kind of trademark infringement. But if they're criminals they probably don't care much about the possibility of a civil action.

Google Maps are rubbish. In my experience they don't even show streets in the right place. When you're ordering something you can always write in the "delivery instructions" something like: "Don't use Google; try openstreetmap.org instead." Then, if they turn up an hour late somewhat grumpy: "I did warn you!"
I really like Mansions of Madness as well as Dead of Winter. Both are co-op but both have a mechanic where it’s possible one of the players is actually a betrayer out to defeat the others.

My problem with pure co-op, especially pandemic, is that what usually happens is one player ends up doing most of the actual “playing” and the others just provide a few suggestions here and there.

Both MoM and DoW limit the things you are allowed to share with the other players too, which makes this happen less often, and in DoW every player has a unique hidden agenda in addition to the group goal - which gets fun if they do something weird because you have to work out if they are a betrayer or just have a weird agenda.

> The inconsistent, chaotic patchwork of ID systems is more resilient than a monoculture, and definitely more resilient than a centralized solution.

This can be done in a decentralized manner where people host their identity. For example, for email you can buy a domain name and set the DNS MX record to point to whichever email server you want to receive email at. For identity you could have a DNS record with a public key, and then use your private key to generate random signed identities for every website. Obviously that's a bit out of reach of normal people, but it can be implimented without too much complexity. And inevitably it'll get pretty centralized for 90% of people, just like 90% of people use a @gmail.com email address, but the option will still be there for those who need it.
I believe that at some point in our nation's history PE lost it's bearing and no longer became about "physical education" per se and became more about sports and game type classes. Games like dodgeball allowed the bullies – teachers included – to flourish.

Physical education should be just that, an education on the body. How it moves, how to retain mobility, how to get stronger, etc.

There are books on this, I don't have any references at the moment sorry.

I used to be a personal trainer. I stopped being amazed at how little people knew about their bodies and how to move them pretty quickly.

It's a sad state of affairs. While I don't think physical fitness will "cure" people with clinical depression and anxiety I believe it's an important tool in the toolkit.
PE is a bad example case. Infrequent, with random team assignments, playing random new sports and activities each class is obviously and definitely skewed towards those who are predisposed to coordination and teamwork traits.

What the parent, and I in another comment are talking about is team sports with the same team, playing the same sport on a regular basis.

Not many people are good at "red scooter dodge chicken" after 5 minutes of it. But playing the same thing day in, day out for a while (practice) makes you better at it. You start noticing you're improving, your teammates may not out you in the starting rotation, but they're going to start bonding with you because of proximity and the shared feeling of progress.

You don't need to have the same competitive zeal as the top performers, but you need to want to be part of the group.

I never saw anyone get ostracized in a team unless they continually refused to be part of it.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't include compatibilism because I don't think that's the kind of freedom people think of when they think of free will. If you are free to choose to live by your own rules, but the rules you live by are determined by your environment, how can we really call this free?
A dictionary first and foremost tells you the use/meaning today. You need to look into the etymology to understand if it has something to do with slavery.
Resources for Kids to Learn Coding
I don't agree with your point at all. I believe the vendors are fundamentally to blame for the situation with the web today .. the walled garden was intentionally created to protect the bigger consumers.

And none of the issues you state as being the reason why we can't have nice things, are actually valid reasons. OS Vendors could solve the problem of serving content from ones own local PC's quite effectively - the issue is not the technology, but rather the ethics of the industry, which prefers to have massive fields of consumers to farm from..

Unless your target users can't switch their browser (it happens), I tend to feel this is slowing new browser adoption. Developers keep coddling users by making sure everything works, and users have no reason to upgrade. Make their obsolete browser function like an obsolete browser and they might just update.
The bedroom where the Master slept

Master of course not being specific to slavery - it was in wide use before. Mastering a subject means to be better than those who aren't masters.

The term comes from Latin magister, which means things like 'head' or 'teacher'. It evolved to maestro in Italian, and predated the atlantic slave trade by over a millenia.

I wish hashes were more human-readable/human-writable.

maybe use a scheme where the prefix of the hash could be mapped to a common word.

So with a contrived example based on 100 and:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_common_words_in_English

the former hash 9221920 would break off "92" from 21920 and look in the word list to allow any of the following:

9221920 old style hash could say just 92
92-new-21920 or use 92 + 92nd most common word, "new"
new-21920 or skip 92 which is redundant with "new"
new or just use new alone

obviously 100 and base 10 would have collisions, so use a larger number and constricted word lengths to find 256 or 4096 or 65535 words.

No, it was used as the excuse for yet another escalation of the Vietnam War, which the US had been overtly been involved in since immediately after the French gave up in 1954, and had significantly escalated it's involvement in (again, overtly) throughout the Kennedy Administration.
So, what are you going to do with the kids who don’t want to be a part of it and will simply never enjoy the experience of whiffing a ball every time?

We’re presumably still talking about a situation where they’re forced to take part.
Yup, and there's this assinine insistence on sitting still in class. Combined with playgrounds getting more boring and less active..
> I'm going to argue that it wasn't team sports, it was the infrequency with which you played them that caused the negativity

I am not the one you responded to, but I very much disliked team sports. I liked individual sports, including the ones I was bad at. Other kids did not became comrades in team sport, kids that did same individual sport became friends.

I was the kid that had trouble to be assertive and had trouble to fight over ball with teammates. Because other kids in same team wont give the ball to someone else when they have fun with it. They want it for themselves, even when you are at good position. Team sports just sucked from social standpoint.

The only shared experience always ended up being feeling that I don't belong here. The only thing I learned was to avoid the experience.

It did worked for some other kids, but don't tell us it works for everyone. It does not.
You are absolutely right. I don't want my teachers to know that I am not actively attending the class and doing something else.

Also, even if this feature gets implemented, someone will defeat it easily. ( Example: Teachers ask you to keep your camera feed on during the class? OBS + Virtual Camera )

Because evidence for something doesn't require proof beyond the possibility of conjecturing alternative explanations, and if it did, nothing would be evidence of anything, since any sense data could just be hallucination, and ultimately anything that could be cited as evidence at some point relies on sense data.

Yep. Mindfulness helps to lower your self-inflicted stress and worries, but it is not a solution when you have a concrete issue, like being where you don't want to be, with people you don't want to be with, doing what you don't want to do. Put another way, mindfulness doesn't mend bone, nor put food on the table.

None of the two examples you showed would apply to the proposed non-numeric base 46, since 0 and 1 would not be allowed.

Although it is true the potential risk may be higher, it is easy to find counterexamples where this potential risk does not matter. The 26 capital letters are easy to distinguish and allow you to use a base-26 system, while a base-2 system where the only two elements are 1 and l (or 0 and O) would be more difficult to use, for example.

JSON generally requiring the entire document to be present before parsing can indeed be a problem. However, for one common use case there is a pseudo-standard, namely "JSON lines".

"JSON lines" extends JSON by
a) not allowing newlines in values and
b) allowing newlines to be used as a top-level separator for elements of a list, instead of the JSON-compliant comma-separated list enclosed in square brackets

This allows for per-line parsing, which can significantly reduce memory usage and allow for partial parsing in some scenarios. I've seen it used where the data is fundamentally a large collection at the top level where producing proper JSON was using too much memory
>> it helps when you do a refactoring that changes the type of the value passed somewhere from number to number[]

Typing isn't a strong enough tool to combat that class of problem; you can fix the type signatures while introducing a semantic break. You need tests and if you have tests, what does typing bring? Keep your tests fast, measure and maintain a speed of >250 tests per second and remember to test behaviour not implementation - you won't go far wrong.

IDEs have been performing refactoring changes on our behalf in dynamic languages for years at this point. Don't manually edit when we've never had such powerful tooling available to us

Since it was on his Bell Labs website, surely this phrasing of the feeling came no earlier than the late 80s, rather than when he left academia in '68? ("Functional programming" as a contrasting term seems to have barely existed before Backus's Turing Award lecture in '77.)

For the 80s and much of the 90s Ritchie's view seems obviously dominant, in no small part due to his own work in making extremely "usable" tools for procedural programming.
Please do not confuse misogyny with facts. If he said "I would to that and that would have worked because women are like this" that would be misogyny. But stating something he tried and did succeed is a fact.

Git does not have the "slave" term, only "master" term. But the "master" term is being removed because it is derived from master-slave connotation from Bitkeeper allegedly.

"‘Mindfulness doesn’t help me,’ says Tyler, a 13-year-old student in a deprived area of southwest England. ‘Some people it helps, some it can make ’em feel worse.’ Gathered around a table in a large, cluttered classroom, five other students nod. Kayleigh cuts in: ‘Sometimes other things help me more. But they don’t listen to us, they just tell us to do mindfulness.’ "
> [...] it just plainly wasn't a good example to use... there are two ways to combine resistors and they just arbitrarily took the one that doesn't add linearly [...]

Nothing arbitrary about it. But if you don't like putting resistors in parallel, go ahead and put them in a series, and then compute the electrical conductance of the pair:

10 S "+" 10 S = 5 S

("S" is Siemens)

> and if you asked me (ie a layman) to "add two resistors together", i sure as hell wouldn't wire them in parallel lol

Maybe that's the reason why people don't ask you to fix their wiring or to design their schematics for them? Parallel impedances are just as ubiquitous and important as serial ones.
Oh yeah, the "make kids do more exercise! more PE classes!" is the second fiddle to the "stop being sad!" depression cure

PE classes are mostly disgrace and a reason why I wasn't very fond of sports (ok not all sports).

- Focus on "collective/team sports"

- Absolutely no catering for different levels of skills

- Bullies usually enjoy this classes because it's the one activity where they are good

- Limited choices.
Fork Save Engineer's Time
It funny, because at least in our local playground and in class my kids go to, girls are outside more then boys. Which applies especially when weather is not good, despite boys clothes being typically more suited to bad weather and easier to find.

Maybe it is just anomaly, but I found it odd. Especially when everyone here is like "boys are so different and more wild".

And I always think "why don't you take them outside then and why don't limit their sit-on-couch-with-tablet-game the way girls have it limited".

It is kind of absurd.
