This is an interesting pair, as both leke/lege/leka and spille/spela apparently comes from proto-Germanic, but via Norse (leikr) for the former and German (spelen/spielen) respectively.

Interestingly Old English apparently has "lac" which belongs to the former group, while "play" is also of Germanic origin, but derived from words implying moving about and being engaged in rather than directly from the more specific Germanic words for play.

When I looked it up I expected to see one of the more usual examples when there are pairs like this of one Norse/Germanic source and one imported and bastardised from latin or a romance language.
Sure, if it hits me I know I'm getting a multimillion dollar settlement.
So it's "let's all get together...except you religious types...y'all go stand in the corner...away from me."? Is that it??

Togetherness requires compromise. Togetherness requires empathy. Togetherness requires _understanding_. And sometimes we - not the proverbial "they" - must take the first steps.

I'm not advocating you join a religion. But if you attend a service or support an event or read a book...you'll be just fine. No bunnies or puppies will die.

Yes, some are over-zealous. No different than (e.g.) many Democrats and Republicans. Or Capitalists. Or crossfit'ers :) If you can't figure out what makes committed people tick your faux religion will forever be a religion of one.

As human beings we are flawed, as are so many of our paradigms and constructs. We tend to want to over-simplify. We're complicated. Life is nuanced.

The point is, the meeting point - for all of us, like it or not - is half way. The world is suddenly not going to come to us. We must go to it. Engage it. And nudge it and ding it from there.

Yes. Very unHN. I may be punished for it. I'll live :)
In many European countries, the 12-hour format is used in speech, but not in writing. You'd say "Let's meet at seven", but you'd write "Let's meet at 19:00". The context being software, I'd say it's a pretty solid claim to say most countries use a 24-hour clock.

It all comes down to a matter of taste really.

IMHO: If you can afford it, get a Macbook of some kind. For a laptop/desktop, I would take macOS over Windows or Linux, any day. IMHO, macOS has the best apps and the best desktop experience. With Homebrew, you can install ~99% of all CLI utilities that you could run on Linux.

I switched from Linux to macOS seven years ago and so far there are no Linux applications that I haven’t found a good alternative for.

But to each their own and YMMV.
Sometimes you hold the people you respect to a higher standard than others, and that's certainly true of me in this case.

I think what they do is great, but I would take their campaigns, and especially all the Yvon stories, with a pinch of salt.

Tonuge in cheek, I'll share a story of my own - to launch a new Patagonia store in a Europe, they had bespoke furniture commissioned from recycled wood (probably using no solvents etc etc). Great! Except that it was made by in California, covered in bubble wrap and sent thousands of miles by land and sea.

She said she was 13.

If you're so naive that you think this was just a silly mistake by a man who wanted to play video games with her then you're so naive there's little point in continuing this discussion.

No man in his right mind continues the discussion at that point. Even a sociopath would have the good sense to end communications out of concern for his own safety and freedom, even if he had no concern for the safety and happiness of the child.

You're welcome to describe to me the type of man who continues to message a 13 year old online even after she has shared her age, taking that discussion to the point of explicit sexual messaging, and arranging to meet privately where she is alone.

He just wanted to play video games, right? Why not wait until the parents are home and introduce himself? We both know why.
I see, thanks for correcting me.
>there is insufficient data to conclude that such a system would improve safety at this time.

The hype behind self-driving is getting out of control. Sure, from a technological viewpoint it appears that, one day, computers should be able to drive better than humans.

additionally, if your mouse is over top of the web page when you scroll, and your scrolling hovers over some item that responds to scrolling (say a text box), the page scrolling comes to a stop or stutters until the text bar scrolls.

Annoying. The only fix is to hover over the scroll bar itself (and I have macos -> system prefences -> general -> show scroll bars: always)

If it exists only in the heads of the engineers, then it's not technical debt.

Don't get me wrong, there are problems that mainly exist "in the heads of the engineers". Many of them want to refactor code or migrate to a newer framework or re-write for the latest buzzwords. But that's not technical debt.
Hot water storage is very cheap. Water has tremendous heat capacity.

So that's a great example about what can be scheduled in a flexible way.

If something is not standard practice doesn't mean it can't be done, or even that it's hard to do. There was no motivation to use any smarts for water heaters because the electricity price was flat, or the price was on a fixed schedule (timers and night heating of water, was done in the eighties here already).
If I am to locally run some HTML + CSS + Javascript app, isn't it better to just give my clients exactly some HTML + CSS + Javascript files and let them use their preferred browser to use it?

It isn't open-source in the "FOSS" sense. You can't have such terms in a FOSS license.

Almost my entire house is furnished with IKEA stuff, bought between 10-15 years ago, and I've so far never had to throw stuff away because of wear or breakage. It's not like any of it will be family heirlooms handed down through generations like really high end furniture easily can, but I can easily see most of it lasting another 10-20 years or more.

My couch has survived 10 years of my son treating it as a trampoline, for example. Last couple of years I've had to constantly try to get him to stop jumping onto it from a running start through the living room...

It was the same over here in Belgium when electronic payment terminals were introduced in shops. The contracts stipulated that the extreme fees (up to 10% at start) could not be passed onto the customer, so all the shop owners could do was spread them over all sales (or swallow them) making everyone pay for this new platform whether you used it or not.

Of course customers demanded the convenience of paying with cards, and since the bill could not be itemized, shopkeepers had a hard time explaining the ramifications to the customers.

DIY is quite Swedish. Not uniqly Swedish, I can't comment on that, but historically (until end of the 80s especially), the income tax levels made it so expensive to pay someone else to do things such as paint your house, renovations of various kinds etc, that people either did it themselves, or paid someone to do it "without receipt".
There was a tax reform around 1990, that put a more reasonable ceiling on taxes on labour, and later also additional tax exemptions for some renovation work, which turned a black economy more white. Today it is much more common to pay for home renovations, but I think a DIY culture remains.

Get Paid for Open Source

The problem with having the compiler figure it out is that the signature now becomes dependent on implementation details that can't be seen from the signature, and could be accidentally changed. This information must be an explicit part of the signature, so that it's properly visible and spells out what the function can do without having to read the body.

That said, I think putting it in the argument list like that is a terrible idea. It would add far too much clutter. What if it was put into the where section, sort of like this:

impl Foo {
fn bar(&mut self, other_param: &Data)
where self: borrows{ a, b, .. },
other_param: borrows{ a, b, ..},
{
// Function body
}
}

In one sense, it sort of fits because it's providing a "bounds" of sorts on how the reference can be used, similar to the way a trait bound would for a type. If no reference binding is provided it would default to borrowing all the fields, which is the current behaviour.
That's RAM usage. Not sure what this measures, but a single Full-HD backbuffer at 32bpp is already 8MiB.
So what, when they are not 24x7 so you still need to buy some other on top of that.

The other thing is, after 10-20 years of burning taxpayer money on subsidies only now they "realize" how much stuff actually costs (and of course still get it wrong).

In 2009 their intention was to "raise the percentage of China's electricity produced by nuclear power to 6% by 2020"
In 2019 nuclear produced 4.9% of the gridpower.

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

Not very "ambitious" in my book, especially given their to solar and wind (wind power generation capacity added in the sole year 2016 produced 4%).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_China

Solar is even more dynamic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_China

The language barrier remains low here because China builds with non-Chinese partners (French "Électricité de France" for the EPR, Russian "Atomstroyexport" for the VVER) or at the very least builds local extensions to existing architectures which may be exported and therefore are closely followed by foreigners (Brookfield Business Partners, as the new owner of Westinghouse, and the "CAP" potential series). Even the new (and not yet active) local model (Hualong) is potentially exportable and therefore well documented. Moreover all this stuff is submitted to IAEA inspections, which are well-documented and expose it to international experts.
There probably is a lot of legacy stuff in there but I suspect that most of it is deeply integrated into the needed functionality.

That said, I suspect that many of the more modern JS APIs which are organised as separate modules are much easier to exclude when building something like Electron. I'm talking about these kinds of APIs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API

Many APIs there to exposed things from deep inside the rendering engine, but there are still plenty left which are likely separate, like Bluetooth, Gamepad, Ambient Light, Beacon, IndexedDB, Image Capture, Geolocation, Payment request, Web Audio, etc.

Builds of Electron with exotic APIs removed could be good although I'm sceptical of whether that would bring the run-time memory use down much, i.e. what (API) you don't use, didn't hurt you anyway.
That sounds really good. Supports websites you visit without seeing ads. Dishonesty isn't really a topic if we are talking ads.

> I agree that further work is unavoidable in an ever changing environment.

But can definitely be reduced. If my company plans on delivering version 1.0 with feature X, and version 2.0 with feature Y, I can either do an ad-hoc solution for X that will require less work but will need to be changed to allow Y in the future, or I can do some extra work now to reduce the total amount of work I need to do.

Those kind of decisions are made quite frequently while programming. Being conscious of them is important in order to understand better the project and the costs of maintenance and new features.

> Every variable and function and design decision will invariably be rebranded as technical debt by the next developer soon enough. That's not reasonable.

This is not a problem regarding the concept, it's a problem of the specific developer. Just because some people misuse a concept doesn't mean it's useless.

But you talk about technical debt as if it's necessarily bad. It's not bad. Some technical debt never needs to be repaid because the product is removed, or because that part is never touched and works well enough. Some technical debt generates so little extra work that it's worth it. But it's important to not scrub that concept, because, as I said, it's important to know the technical debt in a product so that we can better understand the costs of making changes and doing maintenance.
Oh, I see, then I misunderstood their situation. Thanks for clarifying.

Just for the 'lulz', I once ran one of my blog sites through Google's website speed analyser thingy. I'm quite proud of the leanness of the site in question, as it's a pretty lightweight SSG which uses no external resources, and has some very minimal hand-written JS and CSS [so no bloated frameworks].

Needless to say Google informed me that the site was not optimised and recommended a load of improvements, most of which seemed to consist of loading a heap of junk from Google which would have increased the size of the site many times over.

AMP needs to die and this proposed "Fast Page" banner in Chrome is just another example of Google trying to edge out websites which don't contribute to their near monopoly on search indexing and advertising.

How many people know women breastfeeding can orgasm? https://www.nct.org.uk/life-parent/sex-after-baby/breastfeed...
https://www.todaysparent.com/family/womens-health/i-was-turn...
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1468181420003018...

Either way, whether its hormonal or not, it could explain why some usually older women get really nasty towards other mothers breastfeeding in public. Maybe these older women have difficulty reconciling the feelings and/or knowledge of breastfeeding with social norms?

Question is, is this orgasming when breastfeeding paedophilic and if so why the bias in the law enforcement, legal system and society in general? Is it simply to reduce penetrative harm and/or the mental harm that occurs when stepping outside social norms?

Such a massive controversial subject.
Because of their claimed mission. Tesla's network charging all EVs is not incompatible with Tesla making money. Open infrastructure is plainly better than closed infrastructure. Do you want the internet or do you want AOL?

Closed infrastructure is not in your best interest as a car owner. All charging sites charging all brands of EVs, just like all fuel stations fuel all brands of ICE vehicles, is better for you and everyone else.
Yes and no. I would say those platforms are more like communes. That is, I'll share mine (audience) is you share yours (audience).

It's like any product: starting from scratch to find fit and from that traction is not easy. It's resource intensive. Failure rate is high.

Yes, these platforms get a piece of your action. But they also provide something in exchange; something you'd likely struggle to create on your own otherwise. Then once you find fit, and traction, you can leverage that and transition elsewhere.
I was expecting a histogram with count over causes here.
This is good news. It's a sign that competition in the market is heating up and that multiple car companies are making different models for different markets (geographic, usage and price levels) that appeal to people.

All the cheerleading and nay-saying on both sides is tedious in the extreme. We should all be cheering the expansion of EVs accross the car industry. No, EVs are not perfect, and there is a lot of issues that need to be worked out from charging and range to the resources used to make them, but all those things are being worked on and this competition is part of that.

Around me (in the UK) the EVs I notice seem to be pretty much split between Tesla's (mostly 3s with the odd S), Renault Zoes, and the Nissan Leaf (although they seem to be a minority). I'm also seeing a lot of Nissan ENV 200 vans being used by local businesses (including my plumber, who abasolutely loves his).

Different people have different requirements. For a very large portion of the UK population, the market leading range on a Tesla is a plus for many people, especially if it's a main car.

But many cars in the UK rarely go more than 100 miles in a day, the last figures I've seen from the RAC (UK equivalent of AAA in the US I think) puts the average daily drive at something like 25 miles (roughly my wife's commute), so for many people something like the Zoe is absolutely perfect, especially for a second car.

On a random side-note, I really love the sound the Zoe makes when it goes past, it's wonderfully futuristic.
Technical debt != maintenance.. Maintenance is just maintenance. Technical debt is having to jump through arbitrary hoops to satisfy a code base or piece of technology instead of being able to directly address the problem at hand. With that said, I do agree that all code has some degree of technical debt but that can be limited by good design.
