> What city do you live in, exactly?

I don't want to reveal any information about my personal life. However my post does give away some clues about this. I understand that I might not be able to make convincing anecdotal arguments without revealing this fact. Unfortunately however, I predict people are either going to immediately agree with my post, or never believe. I don't think there's any point in this discussion other than the joy of writing.

Not all populations approach assimilating into the host society in the same manner. For the purposes of my argument I'll limit the scope of the term 'assimilation' to 'Adoption of the host country's core values'. In my city large large immigrant enclaves have developed over the last few decades to the exclusion of even the host country's culture. You could walk through large suburbs in my city and believe you were in a very cosmopolitan area of Bangladesh or Pakistan. Anecdotally, many sources report that the second generation of immigrants from the Middle East have become more conservative than the first. Adopting much a much more conservative form of Islam, which many view as fundamentally incompatible with Western democracy.

Analysis of available statistics from a recent survey on support of same-sex marriage revealed that immigrant communities were among the least likely to support gay rights. This is congruent with the commonly held view that women's rights and LGBT rights do not enjoy a similar level of support within the Islamic diaspora to that of wider Western society. I could go on...

Multiculturalism is fine at the scale of a football team. The rules of football are so simple they can be communicated non-verbally. However, extrapolate the problem to the scale of organising society and you'll find that people have fundamental disagreements that simply fail to be reconciled.

> What I have seen everywhere, however, is a lot of small minded people who are... My apologies if I've got the wrong impression..."

To me, this subtle ad-hominem undermines your post. To me this simply reads as "People who disagree with my world view are small minded." I have made no such insult towards you. You haven't done anything to actually challenge my ( omitted ) definition of 'assimilation', save to assert that my disagreeing with your overall views reveals that it must be "flawed" somehow.
The GDPR itself is actually quite readable, so if you're interested in the details, you can got to the source. There's a neatly formatted version hosted here:

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/

What the source material won't tell you, for better or worse, is how these are interpreted in reality by data controller, processors and regulators. The two main things to know in that respect are:

1. Relying on the subject's consent is usually the last resort. It comes with lots of extra strings attached.

2. The "legitimate interests" provision is open to interpretation. It is widely used as an excuse for processing that many of us might consider far from desirable. But it is also a risk for data processors doing things many of us might consider reasonable, because any regulator can take a different view and they get to win by default.
The US already has progressive income taxes and a welfare system.

About postal sytems, the first was probably the private London Penny Post https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Penny_Post

As the name implies, sending letters cost a penny flat.
The point is that dominance was only a few years old, and it was not at all obvious it would last - the computer market had completely changed every few years prior to that, so assuming there was a risk it might again was not unreasonable.

The USPS has a legal monopoly and has its obligations guaranteed by the government. So take their profits with a grain of salt.

HMS Game Kit to Simplify Game Features
Much simpler solution as suggested by other commenters: Simply get into the habit of riding a quick 30 minute loop on the bike before working at home. Biking or running just for the sake of exercise is a completely normal thing to do and I don't see why it has to be justified by a specific purpose like commuting.
You could filter it and make it look like what you think it should look like, but it would still be a measurement of the forces applied to the helmet not the head.
Yes. But not the question becomes, why would it be a good idea to have such a clause in a constitution?

Edit: I just had a look. The clause only seems to talk about the power, not the obligation to run a postal service.

In fact, 'An early controversy was whether Congress had the power to actually build post roads and post offices, or merely designate which lands and roads were to be used for this purpose, [...]'.
Cheap food is a social good. It would be catastrophic if food prices were high. Private enterprise handles food just fine despite substantial logistic challenges. In Australia we had a stern-faced inquiry into why the prices of milk were so low; it was hilarious to watch politicians trying to complain without suggesting anything so radical as raising prices.

The second part of your post is a fine argument and I'm not complaining about that, but "it's okay to recognize something is a social good" is not fine. It is likely everybody in this thread thinks a cheap, great logistic system is desirable. No impugning of motives, thank you very much.
So here's a good test for the value of [language feature X]:

Do people naturally try and reinvent that feature in its absence?

So for named parameters you have:

1. Javascript would often be written with methods with a single "options" parameter, where "options" is an anonymous object and basically a map;

2. Day-to-day I write Hack. Many functions are similarly written taking a shape as an argument. Shapes are structs, basically, but the typechecker is smart enough to treat them as a well-defined by anonymous type.

3. I've also seen C code that does much the same with things structs.

Empirically there seems to generally be a demand for this kind of feature and it makes sense: long parameter lists are tedious and error-prone (have you ever seen a function that has 3 boolean parameters in a row?) where people try and be helpful by providing "optional" parameters (which are really just parameters with default values).

So sure, I'm all for named parameters.

The AGPL doesn't guarantee that you'll get contributions back.

For the very few companies who are willing to touch AGPL code, they only need to make the changes available (e.g. a CD in the post is sufficient).

Very few companies are willing to use it, because it creates an almost unassailable hurdle in lots of industries.

It's also highly at risk at making a bunch of other projects AGPL as well.

Then nothing. People get over it and ignore it. Excess deaths in Germany didn't move:

https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Cross-Section/Corona/Socie...

That's not a dangerous virus. At least not in Germany. And it's the same virus everywhere, so questions must be asked about why so many countries have seen no real change in excess deaths and others did (but even when they did, it's not high relative to the reaction).
Same as for postal service. Privatize the roads as well.

Especially with modern technology for collecting tolls, privatised roads are more feasible than ever.

In practice, I would expect roads to be financed by a mixture of pay-for-use and local businesses.

Even without privatized roads, it can be useful to charge road users. Here in Singapore we have Electronic Road Pricing in some parts of the city to keep congestion down. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Road_Pricing

It works very well. Jams are almost unheard of.

This is real great engineering!

Tldr key facts:

- be smart and detect actual traffic for modifying the red light behavior in real time

- for example, switch to green immediately for walkers if there is no car even if the displayed countdown is not yet finished.

- operate independently each red light of a section to not need to have them operate stupidly in symmetric/synchronized state machine cycles.

Don't just give a priority to car or bicycles, but try to ensure that everyone get the less friction and maximum mobility possible.

The DT-990 are not bad. The treble is a little overemphasized. The easy bass is also a bit emphasized, but then they give up on the deep bass (start dropping below 50 Hz). Still good headphones, two classes above the uncorrected Sony NC.

With proper corrections based on objective measurements, any headphones can sound neutral and balanced.
I'm glad you're a fan too! Yeah, vanilla Javascript seems pretty powerful these days. If you don't care too much about backwards compatibility or supporting really old browsers then you can get a lot done with really thin wrappers tailored to your use case. I suppose time will tell whether or not it was the right decision, but in the meantime I really like the peace of mind from not having to rely on npm.
I'm leaving aside the consent piece, because frankly it's unlikely that they ingested this data without receiving it from a third party to whom you did give explicit consent.

That seems a rather optimistic assumption, given the historical way data brokers and those who use them have operated. Plenty of businesses, including some household names, have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar on this one before. No doubt plenty are still doing it and hoping not to get caught or that any penalties will be small enough to be worth it.

As I wrote earlier, the issue here is that because they have no direct relationship with people in their data lake, there's no way for them to know with certainty that the email address associated with a person belongs to that person without some form of additional validation.

There are few ways to know anything with true certainty unless someone in your organisation personally knows someone you're dealing with. It is more about being reasonable.

If an organisation maintaining large amounts of personal data about people without their consent can't find a reasonable way to verify identity and allow the data subjects to exercise their rights, the GDPR-esque solution to the problem is to shut that processing down entirely until the organisation can get its house in order, or permanently if it can't find a way to do that. If that kills the data broker's business model, maybe they shouldn't have been using that business model in the first place, or should have discontinued it when the GDPR came into effect.

Allowing the organisation to deny data subjects their legal rights by hiding behind the verification obligation is at best against the spirit of the law but probably against its letter as well, and certainly justifies a regulatory investigation if it's being done systematically by a big organisation that should know better.
It would actually be a good idea to test whether a headhunter is genuinely interested in having a discussion with you or is just spamming emails hoping to fish something.

> obtaining user credentials and a foothold inside the network that helps with firewall restrictions.

Yes but those are somewhat human errors; my point is more along the lines that linux might be the primary target for the entire attack, but it always starts with attacks on Windows. I was looking for a case, specifically with ransomware, that started with Linux/Mac OS X instead of Windows.

In my opinion (and to be honest, PCI DSS actually enforces this some extend) it should not be possible to gather linux credentials from singular hacked machines. If you hack my system, you will not be able to login to our prod linux machines; you will need my hardware device to generate OTPs. This is what we actually do for a living, but it is rather weird that people don't just have google-authenticator as standard for lack of a hardware token; then your private key would still not get the hackers anywhere. Use hardware tokens + non-windows then basically none of these attacks would work.
The point is to export some functions I suppose, ie. code server side form validation and have it converted to frontend code too (assuming it doesn't need to hit the database)

Competition is weird. There is only one winner and the winner probably gets bored of being the best despite all the sacrifices. Meanwhile all the "losers" look up to the winner and dream of being the winner themselves. I guess it boils down to jealousy. Someone has something you don't have, it doesn't actually matter what the "something" is, it also doesn't matter if you harm yourself in the process.
Yes, designated initializers help initialize a dto, much like what C# did back in 3.0 times. I wish they did something similar to function parameters so we didn't even have to create a data transfer object.

1. You can have an interactive program in the pipeline, for example 'less' is usually called this way:

cat some.file | less

Less reads 'stdin' and then reaches out to the actual console to respond to navigation keys. The console is reachable either via '/dev/tty' (POSIX) or, on Windows, via CreateFile()[1].

But yes, most programming tutorials (and probably many programs) make no distinction between the console and standard streams, hence the confusion. They absolutely should.

There is another option, unpopular with some open source advocates, the source-only option. You simply sell your software product (with source code) for a price. That's it. Simple and uncomplicated.

Your customers get the source of your app. They can modify the code to suit their needs. But unlike open source, they cannot re-distribute the app. Very few companies would object to this.

Some popular and profitable projects that follow the source-only option are Kirby CMS and Craft CMS. Both these projects publish their source code on GitHub and rely on the honesty of their customers to pay for the product. This means that even people who would never purchase the products can still study and learn from the source code.

I was using it here[1] because the TTGO libraries were using it and it looked like a solid GUI. Unfortunately I took the TTGO samples and extended them instead of doing things from scratch and tbh the code for AWatch is an embarrasing mess that just happens to function enough to pass as working.

However... When I was doing all this, TTGO used LVGLv6. LVGL had just released 7, changed everything on their site and all their support. Documentation were pointing to a mix of v6 and v7 items, and there are breaking changes.

When I say breaking changes I mean the entire freaking toolkit is different in the way styles and widgets are handled. I have to rewrite everything by hand to go from 6 to 7.

Lilygo updated to v7 recently but I haven't had a chance to update the AWatch code for it, nor am I inclined to. For a do-over. I get that LVGL is good for say, Arm project size stuff but on ESP32 in the Arduino IDE it's no fun, a sentiment well expressed here in the current docs[2].

One other pitfall I found was that I wanted to be able to dynamically draw items on the screen so I could create a decent Protracker VU-meter for AWatch and possibly a little finger note thing. I ended up falling down a Canvas[3] rabbit hole. Do not touch Canvas if you can avoid it, especially on a low memory platform like ESP32. I had massive memory problems with it. Again, this was 6, not 7 so YMMV but it's put me off for life.

I'm looking for something simpler with limited inheritence. I don't forsee a need for something as complex as LVGL on a simpler watch like the TTGO T-Watch series.
