Yes, got it.

I was collecting those piece by piece over many nights searching the web.

I think I will write a "Google News syntax cheat sheet" on https://codarium.substack.com/
i think it still is that, but achieves it so easily as to be unremarkable. rpi has probably introduced many people to linux and debian. it might seem trivial, but anything that gives ordinary people a good experience with open computing should be considered a massive victory.
Very cool - what sort of education do you have / need?
If you’re not going to contest their conclusions, what was the point of bringing that up?
Worth looking at NUC and second hand Lenovo M600 fanless units as well. 900% less crap and I reckon 90% of users don’t plug anything directly into IO ports on their Pi.
A lot of these issues, and similar ones, have been present all along. Pamphleteers basically started democracy. Media influence, gameability, loud minorities, media corruption, & infiltration by foreign provocateurs...

Media is a "pillar" of democracy. I think social media destabilized that pillar.
The guy (Plato) does have a point
Apparently contracts between nations don’t mean much given this situation we’re in is because China is violating one.
I agree there's some room for argument as to whether it should be recommended or not, but

- The headline includes "benefits outweigh risks"

- The text notes that "the benefits of circumcision are sufficient to ... warrant third-party payment for circumcision of male newborns"

I got downvoted to claiming they said "the benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks". I'm sorry, but... they do. Literally and unambiguously.

Assuming you trust the AAP (which many Americans probably do), comparing it to FGM is patently absurd.

Still alpha, but I've been enjoying [git-bug](https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug).

It may have made sense technically but China has a huge army and HK is dependent on water, electricity and food which comes from the mainland. The mainland government made very clear that if HK wasn't returned, they would cut off the water supply.
> free to raise the airplane up

How do you suppose they might do that without completely redesigning the plane? I don't think type recertification is why they kept the landing gear the same length.

I always just read it as "this person is proud they put the work in to get that title" and leave it at that. Life is too short to worry about the the other stuff ;)

Granted like you I noticed it too, it is something that I think I've seen less commonly used too ;)
UK isn't going to be able to protect Hong Kong territory from the Chinese military. It would be a bloody fight and there will be a lot of lives lost, and likely anger from the people of Hong Kong.
Not every culture values independence above all like the west. Many places, particularly around Asia, value family ties or the collective good more than the individual.

Also, who someone is isn't set in stone. It can be molded by those around them.
I think this might have some truth to it.

For example, the DC-10 was also a flawed airplane with a terrible safety record in the 70's which was grounded by the FAA as a result. But the flaws were fixed and the plane is still in operation today, now with a safety record comparable to other similar planes.
> but they don't really discuss it with white people

Because it's a complex topic and one can't condense the lives of 1B+ people so easily. It's also not a solved problem, so most of the folks who speak out do it as form of venting or to bring a change due to some personal experiences.
There are electronic timers with one-button activation for a fixed period of time (15/30/60/120 mins), which can be used to avoid voice assistants listening 7/24.
This is much more difficult with Bing than it should be. I have to add a bunch of separate pinterest.* domains.
I mentioned "wealthiest" as indication for how powerful the company is. It can very well defend itself. Wealthy people can too.

As opposed to minorities (race religion) or people without any means (poor, non-wealthy).

But why do you bring race or religion in here? I was talking about a company. A company has no race. It has no religion. Well, maybe, seeing people in HN threads defending apple, it does have similarities with religions.
Amazing, isn’t it? Yet somehow a 100w i9 is doing things at nearly the same perceived speed as a 10w Pentium.
I agree in principle that corporations shouldn’t have the power to shut people up, but these social media companies also enable a much larger set of ideas to be broadcasted than when the principles of free speech were written into the constitution. How do we prevent the fascism and bigotry of yesteryear and even new forms of bigotry and fascism from being shared on these platforms as well?
Usually but not necessarily. Traditionally Republic of Ireland is not considered part of the Anglosphere, if you want to get technical.
On a not totally unrelated note, the quota for scheduled caste (SC)/scheduled tribes (ST) in India has had the unintended effect of discriminatory behaviour towards them by non-SC/ST. E.g. if the cut-off marks for getting admission in a college course come out to be 165 for non-SC/ST category and 135 for SC/ST (depending on the no. of seats/no. of candidates/ranking etc), the non-SC/ST applicant who got 150 and didn't make it, isn't going to super happy that an SC/ST applicant who got 140 marks got into the same course. This results in resentment of SC/ST students/applicants/workers who have availed the quota system for courses/jobs etc.

Further, the fact that such a quota system was supposed to be for a fixed/limited period for upliftment of such groups, has been renewed again and again for vote-bank politics and that has caused even more acrimony. This has nicely played into the politicians' dream of dividing people into clusters that they can manipulate.
Standing Their Ground in Well-Manicured Yards
Don't really know any brahmins, my friend circle has Dalits and other upper castes. My sister's friends have examples of Brahmin-Dalit marriages, I know Dalit-Dalit, Dalit-Non Dalit marriages. All are economically well off whether Dalit or non Dalit and I get to discuss this online only. We do have discussions about reservation and it's effects however. My Dalit friend chose to fight UPSC in general category as a matter of pride and principal, he didn't want a freebie.

I agree that they should have jail time, but life in prison after not actually harming anyone physically? That's authoritarian and exactly what I was replying to in OP's comment.
I don't know about that, my first tool was vi, I have strong opinions about it :-). I use an all singing IDE (Appcode) now, its not perfect either but works for now.
For extra credit, start paying attention to how wedge issues work. "Let's you and him fight" is probably the second-oldest trick in the book.
India's population in 1950 is roughly 400 million. 10% of that is about 40 million.

15 news papers with million or more circulation and 40 million people who are considered literate, the numbers show how high news paper penetration rate was (in era of limited radio and no TV in India).

Edit: Found this graph abt literacy in India around 1950, it is about 13-16% ball park.

Let's go with emojis in Slack. That was not an issue in any chat sowftware offering them decades ago. In 2020 I can't have them enabled on MacBook Pro, because if someone were to use many of them, the CPU usage would spike (A LOT), even on background. Since this has been the case for at least three years now, I don't consider it a random bug, but rather an issue with the technologies used.

As mentioned in a reply bellow, syntax highlighting is a feature that was (and is) blazingly fast in every software except atom-based editors. Startup times are atrocious too.

Spotify.

And as mentioned in my comment, speed can be influenced by the size or memory requirements. And that becomes issue on its own when you want to use multiple of these applications. I constantly run into full ram and swapping with 16GB. Mostly caused by web applications, but the root cause is the same. Size on disk (or when updating) also matters on phones a lot.
CodeFund (ethical ad network) is shutting down
The summary is that before the handover in 1997 everyone was offered a status called British National (Overseas). Anyone who accepted this offer retained their nationality after the handover, and anyone who didn't permanently lost their chance to be a BNO.
SoPost // Senior Engineer - Product Team

https://jobs.sopost.com/senior-engineer-product-team

Company: SoPost

Website: https://www.sopost.com

Role: Senior Engineer - Product Team

Location: Newcastle (UK) / Remote (UK Only)

At SoPost, our mission is to build the world’s most powerful product sampling platform with a focus on relevance, data and analytics. We’ve been at it since 2013 and our platform has grown significantly in that time. We now deliver one sample to a customer every few seconds.

We’re based in London, Newcastle and New York and have partnered with with 200+ brands to create targeted, measurable campaigns - to get sample products to engaged consumers.

We’re now looking to hire a senior engineer into our product team. The aim of the senior engineering role is to give the product team someone who can set new high standards for the team and then mentor and coach the team up to these new standards.

We use Elixir and Typescript, with a bit of Rust and Python, but we do not require knowledge of these from applicants. Experience with another functional programming language (Clojure, Scala, OCaml, Haskell, etc) would help your application.

If you’re both able to work in the UK and are based in the UK, then the role is open to you.
For more information, links to our website and the job description are included above.
That sounds very useful and it's not something that vim gives you out of the box but I'm not sure that anything you're describing is not possible via LSP plugins and extensions.

Running a server to automatically search for duplicate code sounds exactly like the kind of task that LSP can handle.

Since VSCode has tools for deep flow analysis (although I can't say how they compare to Intellij) then I'm pretty sure I can access them from neovim.

Maybe if I was a Java developer something like Intellij would look more attractive but I've never really been impressed with the rest of the JetBrains IDE family.

Horses for courses I guess. If there's some tool you want that's only available in Intellij then that's what you'll use.
> No they don't. According to the Hong Kong government's 2011 census only 41% of residents spoke English moderately well (not even fluently, just moderately well). 20% reported not being able to speak any English whatsoever; not even a few sentences.

You have to consider which ones are being adopted. It is overwhelmingly the educated and wealthy ones who will go, and a far higher percentage of them speak English.

compared to the Syrian crisis a few years ago

Please enlighten me. As a German, I have yet to see even a statement of any German politician to do as the Brits do. Is there any non-english speaking country being "proactive"?
Charge some some small fee per transaction to pay for something worthwhile in society and that will limit the profitability of these billions of micro transactions as well.

All these big finance companies should just be public utilities. They provide little to no benefit to society. They create nothing. They siphon so much money. The cost of the instability/fragility they create is sent downstream to the taxpayer. What society purposely sign up for this?
I'm curious, do you have a link to the blog post?
I don’t think people are asking for “free”, they’re asking for “at cost”, or some sort of bulk deal. There is actually a lot of precedent for that in SV deals, for one people get some return on investment (the bulk order discount / profit cut deal). Second you get deal modifiers like facebooks sweetheart ad deal for Microsoft’s 240M funding round, which might be akin to “if we fund this thing we need you to work with us if we’re all about to die without it”.

Truly good/fair solution probably exists between nationalizing Gilead and Gileads opening bid.
The excellent Freedom of Movement blog is publishing great explainers on this.

tldr;

It applies to Hong Kongers who applied for British National (Overseas) Citizenship (BNO) before registration closed in 1997, and it can not be inherited. Many of the young HK protestors will therefore be ineligible for it.

BNO is an obscure post-Colonial status applicable to Hong Kongers which did not up till now grant long term residence to the UK.

BNOs who now want to take up the government's offer for long term residence in the UK will have to fork a significant up front fee. This makes it available only to wealthy BNOs. If the government wanted to they could have changed the law to allow them to skip much of this, but they haven't.
> wouldn’t have any Constitution left to enjoy at all.

Pun intended?
Those tend to be read in artificial voices. They are useful for some things, but it isn't real speach so it isn't as generally useful.
IDEs are I think a good example. There were IDEs in the 80s and 90s but they are very different from now.

For example back then they did not index files at startup since there was no function for that (like "find references"). These days IDEs provide a lot of "intelligence" and static analysis for which you need memory, a lot of reads and processing.

So yeah, I guess VS got slower but it's because it's now doing much more (useful) things.
It may not be slower, but it's definitely less efficient.

You can really see the loss of efficiency in modern software by using the same program/application on a modern machine vs a 10 or 15 year old machine. I have a couple of older laptops (2001 era Dell Latitude CPx with a PIII 500MHz, 2011 Lenovo Ideapad netbook with the Atom N450 1.6GHz) that I will occasionally play around with. I've found that most of what the article author said applies; textual interfaces with minimal or no mouse usage runs perfectly well on either of those old beasts, even with code written in 2020 and optimized for modern hardware. The "suckless" suite of tools in particular (dwm, st, surf, etc.) make those otherwise unusable machines into something approaching modern workstation utility. You don't want to even try to run any modern graphically rich software on those devices as you'll be frustrated immediately, and it will be clear just how bloated and unnecessary a lot of modern design has become.

I feel as long as we keep advancing in raw computing power, the software can be allowed to grow and make use of the extra power, but we will eventually reach a standoff where the hardware stops advancing and at that point we will need to focus on reducing, not increasing, software bloat if we wish to maintain efficiency.
What does this mean - "Start Free Now"
Where is the pricing page and why is it hidden ?
CutiePi Tablet – Now Live on Kickstarter
Boeing has terrible management and deserves to go under for the 737 Max fiasco but...

Ars jumps the shark. Uncovered is the word used in this headline? Really? Good lord who are the losers that go into tech journalism. How is there any money left to pay these click baiters?
Such a wonderful way of learning! Love it!
I did say "try". Now we cannot even try, and stuff like this happens.
You raise good points. For what it's worth, I think all "invalidated" samples are still included in the distribution (invalidated.tsv), with the number of up and down votes for each (but not the reasoning).
I think the bigger problems is that people seem to have developed an inherent trust of information they find on the internet, same as with what they hear on the radio or TV before (well, and still). Perhaps the trust is when the information agrees with their already present biases and preconceptions, but the trust is there. It's dangerous, and hard to overcome. And encouraging a general distrust doesn't help either, because there is good information out there.

And restrictions won't do any good. It's the Internet. Practically, you can't stop E2EE communication at this point. Social media can become decentralized (with Mastodon and similar systems) or even p2p (with Secure Scuttlebutt). All restrictions would do would be to curtail the speech of people who don't know about them, and increase the utilization of these other social networks. Net effect: No change to the nature of speech, just to the places they happen.
My guess is that accounts for about 30% of the costs.
You would have made my week if you have managed to convince them to do that. At the worst point Pintrest's spamming of Google Image Search pretty much rendered the service next to useless.

It wasn't a "growth hack" it was spam, plain and simple.
