I think this is due to where you are on the path of learning English, and maybe because people feel more comfortable asking to repeat something when you are talking amongst not natives. Also not natives speak slower.

Comes a point where you get so used to what is, admittedly, such a weird and non sensical pronunciation, that the same mistakes I used to make as an Italian native I don't understand at all from a Spanish native that doesn't pronounce as well as I'm used to. Only after I realise what the word is I understand where they are coming from.

Also the every day vocabulary is not that big and fancy, I tend to use some "fancy" words sometimes just because that's the word I would have used in Italian, and it's correct in English, but not widely known. Then again I'm now reading Stephen king and having to use the dictionary every few pages, just because something is mostly obvious by the context but I want to double check.

I work with electronics as a hobby. Some time ago I progressed to more sensitive components and so I am pretty interested in the topic.

Most ESD damage is quite insidious in nature. Imagine your laptop start loosing performance or one of your application developing a nasty error when you do some specific operation.

Even elements designed to protect from ESD have their capacity to accept shocks. For example, your phone's USB connector might be protected from ESD but that protection will run out at some point. Repated shocks to the USB connector may reduce life of your phone.

GA alternatives are a fairly new thing. When I looked at this in May last year there was essentially only one alternative: Matomo. It seems some sort of "critical mass" has been reached, and in the last year quite a few people have independently started working on alternatives.

I agree for many features are still lacking, but as a counter-argument 1) not everyone needs those features (not every product needs to solve 100% of the use cases), and 2) a lot of these products are still quite new, and are actively working on adding a number of those features.

"Jäniskoski Bridge" comes to mind. There are no perceived differences between "b" and "p", or "g" and "k". And the "ʒ"-sound is not possible for most humans. So the correct pronounciation in year 2235 will be "prid-key".

If you take every particle in the universe, let’s say there are 10^100 of them (probably an overestimate of a few orders of magnitude), then say that each one interacts with every other one once every plank time until the end of the universe, you only get around 10^357 events.

> That is probably where the complaints comes from. You read something in a foreign language (English) that has become a lingua franca, and come across a unit expressed in what is not a lingua franca.

I've only ever seen non-native speakers treat English as a lingua franca. Most native speakers I know view the ubiquity of English as fun trivia, and don't ascribe to the language the same type of importance that non-native speakers do. I remember once somebody posted open source code with non-English comments, and the people who were annoyed by that were almost exclusively non-native speakers.

Personally I see it as a form of gate-keeping. People who went out of their way to learn English as a second language want to continue using it for everything because then they have a leg up over their non-English speaking countrymen. The US on the other hand doesn't even have a de jure official language. Most government forms come in both English, Spanish, and whatever language happens to be common in the local area. A while ago I was getting census ads in three differently languages. In high school they told me I couldn't work at McDonald's unless I spoke Spanish.

It would be better for everyone if we just let go of the concept of "lingua franca" entirely.
The terms aren't arbitrary, they're used and propagated deliberately to turn as social issue into a political one. Using a term like "pro-life" creates a false dichotomy which leads to the false and simplistic conclusion that if you oppose pro-life then you must be anti-life.

> Why not just say pro-abortion, anti-abortion?

Because almost no one is "pro-abortion". It's a horrible and traumatic experience to go through and no one is happy to have one. That doesn't mean that women shouldn't have the option to do it. That's why pro-choice works better - it's just more descriptive of the actual issue.
This makes me think of all these people wasting all that time removing "blacklist" and "master" and all that stuff and patting themselves in the back for a job well done, instead of even thinking of doing anything real to fix the real problems with inequality and systemic racism :(

Yes, this was intentional as this article was focused on "light-weight" analytics. I think they'll do an article about Matomo at some point in the future as well.
I assume that no hobbyist will have one or want to buy one when they just want to clean their laptop.

I just googled what is P.O.C. (Assumed I'm right.) Then, I'm a P.O.C also. I don't have a bad feeling as you when I heard the word related to my color. (I'm not growing up or living in America)

In my country, saying the color won't hurt others (that's not offensive words). But we know when or how to say the Color will hurt them (the Color word became offensive word). (I don't know how to tell you the exact example..long story)

I'm trying to understand you.

1. Do you have any bad experience? for example, people pointed at you and say a color word hurt you. Is it very common in US?

2.
If whitelist = bad;
If blacklist = good

will you have the same feeling?

3. Do you really think white/black list linking to master/slave, or just try to avoid it in the future? (because the society telling you not to say that) [educated to feel bad and deep feeling from heart, I think that's different)

4. When will you feel good (or no bad feelings) when you see the word Black / White (or your color)? (I will feel confused if your answer is never)

No. “Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.”

— https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html

In other words, the police, like essentially every other organization, is trying to preserve itself and expand itself. It only aligns with the wishes of another organization, e.g. “the tax collector”, as far as it serves their own goals, either because it furthers their goals directly, or if the other organization is in a position to threaten their own goals of preservation and expansion.
How is this even a thing?

Why do civilian lawmakers even need to pass laws for this?

The police should be reporting their technologies, their techniques, and their standard operating processes to a civilian oversight board.

Otherwise, the police are operating above the law.

Well, we already know that they do. But still, the police department must fall under legal civilian control.

Otherwise, you will end up with a militarized police system, that is accountable to no one but themselves. They end up becoming the foxes that guards the henhouse.

I'm a PM turned programmer, I did both.

I started with Harvard's CS50 and web programming in Node independently, and I ended up with a masters in software engineering and can now push production-ready code (mostly in React/Node by choice, although studying university-level classes has exposed me to different paradigms and languages: C, Java, OCaml...)

I whole-heartedly recommend concurrently studying first principles and a couple of applied technologies. They serve different purposes but are ultimately connected in the big picture. University courses very rarely teach how to make real-life projects. Conversely, learning real-life technologies rarely shows you the theoretical principles that fuel them, at least not explicitly. React/Redux for example have really interesting ideas on managing state drawn from functional programming. To churn out React code, you certainly don't need an FP course or formally studying the pains of managing state in programs, but I found it to be immensely helpful. Same with many other areas: studying systems and networking will help you with many back-end technologies, compilers can help you understand many different programming languages, etc.

I don't think there's a program that teaches both, because it's probably impractical to design it. Simply pick one theoretical route like Teach Yourself CS and a couple of applied technologies, and work on them simultaneously.
It’s not as if people pick one or the other

> Instead of HTML, can’t JavaScript just be used to paint the browser canvas?

Yes it can. Qt when compiled to web-assembly does this. It just uses a canvas as a framebuffer basically. [0]

Going off on a tangent here. This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I wanted to build a cross platform app that also works in the browser. Especially as single developer maintaining multiple codebases just sucks. So the only real option seems to be to write it as a webapp. So I started, but personally, I just really can't stand the JS ecosystem.

I basically see two ways here this could go. Either the we go the use-canvas-as-framebuffer route. Or we'll need small embeddable html/css engines so you can write your code once in your preferred language, where for native apps you access the engines DOM directly, and when compiled to WASM it 'syscall's it out to JS see e.g. go [1]

Basically something like sciter[2].

The term "pro-life" may creates a false dichotomy when put in that way, but if you think at it as the crux of the argument not so much. Case in point you kind of miss it in your last sentence and have it in the opposite: if a foetus is a life (i.e. a person) from day one, then it follows women shouldn't have a choice (because it's not their body anymore, in that context, like a weirdness of nature that a different person with normal rights inhabits a mother's body). They are not saying it will lead to a happy experience either to raise that child, but that's an unfortunate consequence of the "life" argument, hence "life vs choice". Edit: But I agree it's not a good way to frame the debate, "Person at conception vs Person at X weeks/months" would be more relevant to each side position IMO.

Compressed air can is also dangerous on its own (if liquid air sprays on the part).

I personally vacuum my devices with a regular vacuum. What I use is metal pipe which is grounded through my hand, strap, ESD mat to real ground. You just need to understand ESD a little bit to be able to eliminate the risk.

Basically, you can do one of two things.

1. ensure the potential never builts up between two parts by having the parts directly connected (ideally with high resistance path). This is not ideal, because both objects can built charge together but at least both objects interacting with each other will now not be a problem.

2. ensure parts are referenced to common ground. Again, high resistance path is preferable because it helps reduce large currents. Earth has infinite capacity to take charge from you from practical point of view and so as long as you are grounded and you keep the object in your hand you and the object in your hand will never build charge. The object still needs to be able to at least dissipate the charge (for example made from metal or conductive plastic), and that's why you want metal pipe attached to the vacuum.

Mirror neuron mythos is ridiculous. They're just normal neurons, they just happen to fire in response to externally observed behaviour as well as personal behaviour.

They aren't magic, they can't actually mirror what's going on in another person's head or give you a high-resolution idea of how their brain works. They aren't even that good at mimicry unless you already have a pretty high-resolution understanding of what you're trying to improve. You can't learn to juggle by watching people juggle. You can't learn to play piano by watching people play piano. You might be able to improve those skills if you already have them and watch someone who's better, but it's limited and whether that's even osmotic mirror neuron activity is controversial.
