I think the difference is mediums that have reached a certain size and cultural influence that they are effectively modern public forums. If all public discussion is on happening on these private platforms then they a civic duty to not suppress speech.

What's happening is people conflate "not suppressing speech" with "supporting hate speech." They don't support anything. They're nothing more at this point than a public space maintained by a private entity. Private entities I'll add that are essentially subsidized by taxpayers due to not meeting their obligations of paying their taxes, and no I'm not talking about minimizing tax obligations[0].

The point was not that the prod lives in WSL2.

The point was that the development and deployment environment are vastly different.

The US has gotten around the prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishment” by making cruelty usual.
I staunchly disagree with the ethical qualms you've raised.

When gauging the ethics of a choice one must weigh the harm against the several, independently and collectively. If that which is gained by the many is greater than the loss suffered by the individual or the few than it is not only ethical, it is essential to fuel a thriving society. Something that we collectively have neglected to do got decades.
But when the private companies overshadow government, there is no competition to take your business to. If Facebook has all my friends, I have to choose my principles or my friends. So far principles won for me but not many can do that offering. And my friends are slowly coming around again :)
I think there are types of searches it does very poorly on, but also different people have different expectations. In my experience, if something is a product for sale, the first several pages are always places to buy it, which is never what I’m looking for, I already have online shops I like and saw the item there, or am searching from inside a store. I want reviews, forum experience, or even just pictures. for example, actual pictures of a bike rack installed on a bike like mine, not just the manufacturer’s steel floating in a white void pics.

In addition, google has become very aggressive with disregarding words. So a search like (a fake example, not tried the search, not a real place) Jim’s tasty pizza Albuquerque 90s where I’m searching for where a restaurant I remember as a child was located, and has maybe 5 real results from a local history Wordpress blog 15 years ago and Facebook posts, Google will just drop everything specific and give you results for Albuquerque pizza, and then mainly show ads for national chains up top. So I need quotes in the search pretty much always.

On the contrary, the claim is that without the GPL, commercial UNIXes would still be around.

Since I am a commercial software user for most part, this is more of a philosophical question than anything else.

Lets see how long Linux will hold out against the new generation of IoT OSes all being MIT/BSD based, and what the bazaar will get out of them.

Or how long GCC will hold, when all major OSes use clang as their default compiler, and then how the baazar will go from there on.

This is simply not true. Many OS developers are working in lower income countries. Or aren't even employed yet because they are in school.

I'd have thought that my advisor was crushing my creativity and ingenuity

Thanks for sharing this story.

I think a lot of about potential impacts like this on students/learners. My goals when teaching are to nurture agency, autonomy, and a positive disposition towards what is being learned in addition to a student learning the content or practices/skills.

People often misconstrue this as wanting to make learning "fun" for students. For me it begins with inversion, look at how to crush a student's spirit, agency, and disposition towards a topic. Don't do that.

Then find ways to put them in situations where they can struggle productively, be creative, show ingenuity, and see the fruits of doing so. Sometimes students aren't aware of their own ingenuity, creativity, or their own productive struggle so that gives me an opportunity to go meta with them and help them see it.
Why would spike binding matter for a protease inhibitor that works within the cell? Regardless, human kidney organoids with ACE2 receptors are available [1] so the question switches to why the human kidney organoid people don't coordinate with the GC376 drug makers for fast in-vitro experiments.

This is where the WHO and its member nation states should have stepped up. I'm assuming that I'm misunderstanding some fundamental aspect of the drug development process since Apeiron APN01 seemed like a promising potential treatment in April but it appears to have followed the status-quo human trial pace.

"I don't think Houston is a city that was designed to be evacuated. It's just not feasible"

Such an interesting contrast to this frontpage post yesterday:

"The highways themselves were specifically intended to facilitate the reasonable objective of Houstonians not to get annihilated by a nuclear blast...[In] case of atomic attack on our key cities, the road net must permit quick evacuation of target areas"

(Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24331698)

So one might ask, if all these highways don't even permit quick transit, what the heck are they doing?
EHR implementations almost always incorporate a formal training program for clinicians so discoverability really isn't that important.

Istio 1.7: Development Stays on Track Despite Controversies
This is an interesting question, what makes this more gross than killing in video games.

For some reason I would want to show some reverence for historical events. It probably comes down to whether I have emotional connection to the event.

I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying out atrocities in a war video game for entertainment but the unrealistic killing that is depicted in video games and Hollywood is not the same calibre. But you are right to ask the question it's an interesting topic.

Is that glorification of murder and violence a positive thing? What do you think about it all?

One of my NAS units ended up with a case-insensitive filesystem on it at some point, and I'm too lazy to go through the trouble of changing it. It's pretty annoying to do `mv filename.that.should.be.in.something.like.proper.case.mkv Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkv` and then realize that nothing actually changed.[0]

But my mother, case-sensitive filenames on her MacBook would make her life much worse. She can barely manage the high volume of files she creates as a teacher as it is, and the potential for accidentally doubling that number, or worse, is terrifying.

[0] So of course I have an alias `mvd filename.that.should.be.in.something.like.proper.case.mkv Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkv` that actually does `mv filename.that.should.be.in.something.like.proper.case.mkv Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkvzzz && mv Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkvzzz Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkv` and all is well.

For developers, sure, we know the difference. But it's very hard to explain to your mother that MyFile.docx is a different file to Myfile.docx.

When I was in university this was the argument given by the lecturer of the operating systems course in favour of CI, and I found it convincing. (FTR he is the author of 33 internet standards, and not a fan of Windows in most other ways.)

Losing the ability to have two differently-cased filenames in the same directory doesn't seem like a great loss.
Technically, POSIX machine already identifies each file using a serial number. This defines a specific inode. File names are stored into directory entries which are just specific files mapping names to inodes. Multiple names can already point to the same inode.

So everything is determined by how you interpret directory entries.
Allowing multiple files with the same file name - differing just by case - is rather silly from a human point of view.

There are bigger problems, though - currently Linux allows having multiple files with the exact same file name, differing only by UTF-8 normalisation.

Not the GP, but I'm thinking you could have a system where instead of centralized control, as a user you can subscribe to blocklists provided by the company as well as community-made ones. These would be tasked with the regulation of legal speech, and providing a framework for these lists would be a requirement to be protected under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act if you meet certain requirements; while illegal speech can still be controlled under traditional centralized moderation.

Not sure how legislation would define the requirements for something like this. What would metrics would signal that a platform to have to comply with the regulation? (MAUs?, revenue?, surely having moderation, but should certain kinds of moderation like removing botspam count?) Should a provider be able to silently set-up default lists for new users or should they be prompted? Should the company be required to break down blocklists among different topics (spam/pornography/depictions of violence/a goose with a campfire in the background) and how should the boundaries of topics be defined if so? What kind of functionality should be considered the bare minimum for a framework to build community-curated blocklists?

Mind you, I still am not sure regulation is the way to go. But the truth is that these platforms wield a scary amount of power over the psyche of people to extents that would've made the Stasi drool all over the place, and it does have the ability of corrupting democracy far more than biased TV channels and newspapers since it's no longer Fox News or CNN presenting you something, it's your own acquaintances that get some of their voices artificially boosted while some others are silenced; literally distorting a huge amount of voters' own grasp on reality.
Good luck using a piece of paper to e-prescribe a medication such that it's shipped to the patient's pharmacy before the patient even shows up. Ditto for lab orders, imaging analytical tools, custom vital tracking with automatic flagging, diagnostic hardware integration, etc. there is lots of stuff in modern doctors offices that would be significantly more difficult on paper.

Not to mention all the issues of paper management and physical security once you have thousands of patient documents scattered around in filing cabinets.

Yes, but then they have been made explicitly and they show up in a directory listing.

If you would make the filesystem case insensitive ls would only show a.txt, but suddenly a "virtual" A.txt a.Txt etc would also exist.

Now there are some folders on my machine that i would like to be case insensitive like ~/Downloads, never having to check if i downloaded distro.iso or Distro.iso would be nice. But i can see so many more problems with files i did not expect to exist and not showing up in my directory listing suddenly being there when i open something "else".

If it includes a marginally hidden container with an obvious structure this sense of "steganography" seems formally correct (secrecy without a secret key) but overly broad in practice.

Consider, for example, that you can apply "normal" steganography to the image data in the overlong PNG content (claiming, for example, that you just "hid" a porn picture at the bottom of a cute kitten while there's a secret message in the whole composite picture).

That's roughly my expectation too, though there is a chance the order will stand: courts are surprisingly accepting of "we can't tell you, national security" as long as the order is quite narrow. An order only targeting TT might well be acceptable to a sufficiently disinterested judge.

Either way, the CCP will continue (or even intensify) it's activities, Trump will rally the faithful and someone will probably make a few billion for nothing more than already having a few billion and being in the right place at the right time.

Yes, I would quite like to see Linux filesystems require that file names be in valid UTF-8, with no new lines, at the very least. Normalisation would be a bonus but I'd want to do it a way that is helpful for compatibility with macOS and Windows.
As a general rule of thumb Scala is precisely OOP when it's mutable and FP when it's immutable. The fusion occurs exactly at the boundary between mutable and immutable code.

Yes if you have only read-only methods then immutable and mutable methods coincide, but that's precisely the place where mutability doesn't matter to begin with.

Eventually somewhere in your code you have to write something and that's where mutability both matters and results in different APIs.

However, you're right that my initial statement "Every method call or message processing must produce a new instance." is way too strong. I should've meant every write-based call (or message processing).
All the time. I send myself reminders and todos.
If you make companies liable for Covid, you make them liable for every illness under the sun. Say goodbye to society.

The question was

> so why bother

The answer is - because it's more deniable. You bother because more deniable is better.
It's definitely true that case-folding is generalisable to more generous equivalence notions - for example, more or less whitespace isn't a noticeable difference that people typically want two files for. People casually using their phones want to treat the filesystem as a search tool where fuzzy matches (across different directories and names) are reasonable responses to file system queries. There have been many attempts at it like WinFS, but that's a significant increase in scope from case-folding.

One incontrovertible justification for case-folding is to support Samba shares efficiently. Samba has to implement case-folding to clients and if it is not done in the filesystem datastructures you have to read in many directory entries to figure out if one would match with case-folding.

There is plenty of MS Windows and MacOS software that just expects case-folding from the operating system.
