I agree, and I suspect Starbucks had other problems even in cities without much of a specialty or creative coffee culture (so, excluding London, Berlin, Melbourne, and I would add SF and a few others here).

For instance, many cities in southern and perhaps central Europe seem to have local cafes that don't do anything "special" with their coffee (what's a Chemex?) besides just existing as a local institution for decades with a consistent experience in quality and pricing, and that's something that I expect is very difficult for Starbucks or any foreign player to break into regardless of the quality or international popularity of the brand.
>The conservative/Qanon obsession with pedophilia doesn't extend to churches, much less the Catholic Church. Why not?

Because the entire premise is to impugn the enemies of Trump supporters, the alt-right and evangelical Christians - Democrats, leftists and "liberal globalist elites" (cough Jews) - as baby blood-drinking Satanic pedophiles. It's very clearly political propaganda at its core. There's a reason its prototype, Pizzagate, was focused on Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager when she was running, and why it considers Donald Trump to be a prophet of God.

I use both frequently, in and out of work. And I can’t state enough that people need to stop asking this question.

These languages - I would throw Swift in there as well - are “apples and oranges” and shouldn’t really be compared. Depending on your use case, they all have different merits over each other.

To actually make a worthwhile recommendation, you’d have to elaborate on what you mean by backend service. RESTful? gRPC? Something else? When it comes to the first two scenarios, I think Go enables more rapid development and has a stronger library ecosystem.
Something Adams incorporated a lot into his stories:

Many people outside academia still don't know, so worth repeating: reviewers get no payment. That's right, they do it for free, or more precisely, it's considered part of their job and is therefore paid by their institution (their normal salary).

If peer review is the value proposition justifying paywalls, then be aware that none of the money goes to the people providing that value.

When you buy an article through a paywall, you are not paying the author of the article and you are not paying the peer reviewers. Why does it still cost so much? Because they can get away with it. Academia is conservative and changes very slowly because all actors want to preserve their prestige and status and any change may upset the current balance of power. People are used to this system, they've learned how to play by its rules (journal reputations, number of publications, citations, metrics like that).

> I'd love to see bbc reports on each day of Assange's hearings, in the sort of detail they did for Depp's case. But for some reason they are not reporting it. I wonder why?

Because no one cares? The BBC is there to provide a service to the public, if the public doesn't care about a court case why would there be lots of articles? There was lots of interest in the Johnny Depp case, not because people cared who was right and who was wrong but it was scandal and scandal is so popular there are lots of trashy news outlets that just handle scandal. While the Assange case is largely boring, we know he did X,Y,Z because he publically boasted about it, legally he is to be treated as he is innocent until found guilty but we know he did it because he said he did it repeatedy. We know these are crimes in the US. Now it's the boring details of can he be sent to the US which doesn't really affect people and rather hard to understand without putting a bit of effort into it. It's not light reading.

This is no way gives a pass but...

I’m a founder of a business. We’re of a reasonable size now and growing. The memory of fighting for every $1 early on really feels like yesterday. I doubt I’ll ever lose that feeling.

I’m not surprised at times when founder-led businesses go too far when they become extreme outliers (like Microsoft or Amazon). Even when I was in my teens and reading about Microsoft, the message was consistent: the fundamental problem was this guy didn’t appreciate he’d won. But now had the extreme resources to fight with the biggest “army” available. He ran Microsoft like he was going to fail and it was a scrappy startup just ripe to be crushed. The numbers get bigger and change, the fundamental drive, personality and (frankly) fear of failing, do not.

As I mentioned, I’m not condoning things, just sharing an observation.
I'd still use my Time Steel if the battery didn't die, and I'm afraid of breaking it and its waterproofing if I attempt a replacement.
Why is it good that we let one, unelected man decide how wealth is distributed in the community?

If we had taxed him at the rate we have taxed people in the 40's and 50's maybe there would not be such a need for all these "philanthropists" to give "their" money away.

And give me a break, he is NOT broke. I live on 20K a year and I do not even think I am broke. When he is living like St. Francis of Assisi let me know.
I'm curious as well but in the opposite. People are spending more time at home together, could there be a birth boom in Q1/Q2 of next year?
'Beyond a reasonable doubt' works because the system should generate doubts as well. There might be two theories that are equally likely, but if you only have facts to support theory one without even having thought of the other theory that might still lead to a wrongful indictment.

>Project identity doesn't change if a project changes, it is not a new package.

It is a new package. From a practical perspective once you break backwards compatibility the new major version is its own independent thing. If you pretend its the same thing then you run into the situation where two libraries need v1 and v2 and therefore can't coexist. This is going to destroy your entire ecosystem. Replacing a few strings is nothing in comparison.
The PNR (passenger name record) is the data record which represents your booking on Amadeus. It's basically a semi-structured flat text file. Each line is an entry which may represent a leg of your journey, your name, the payment method used to make the booking or various remarks (which themselves are arbitrarily structured).

These lines are filtered / redacted depending on your role. You have to remember that this is a legacy system which has remained pretty much unchanged for 40-50 years. It's hard to change because hundreds of airlines have their own legacy systems which rely on bookings being structured this way. And when you book a multi-carrier itinerary, the airlines often all access this same record directly on Amadeus.

There has been some movement in recent years in a platform called NDC[0] (new distribution capability) but most airlines still rely on the PNR at the moment.

Bazel is terrible in terms of bootstrapping it, its dependency tree is huge, and it's a great pain for distributions to package.
The free part is confusing as it is GPL'd and I don't understand what the runtime exceptions mean. It's confusing to me where the boundaries are and when I would have to switch to the commercial version (and get a quote) to make paid and closed source software instead of using the community language. Ada is great, but I'll never use it past hobby status under these conditions.
> Because nuclear power has been around for a long time already, and the industry remains extremely regulated.

The industry was very heavily regulated globally before Chernobyl and Fukushima, but look what happened.

I’m not saying I’m against nuclear power (as I’m not). I’m not saying that any industry regulation is generally ineffective most of the time, especially when financials and greed gets involved (even though it appears to be true). I’m just saying humans are bad at moderating risk over long periods of time.
I moved back into my parents house after my lease expired, primarily to have regular social interaction again.

> "While moving back home during the pandemic makes sense and is seen as socially acceptable or even smart, it also means you are living with people who still see you as your 18-year-old self."

One of the biggest things I’ve noticed among millennials is how many parents fail to understand the emotional and mental situation of what their children are currently experiencing. I feel so incredibly lucky that my parents understand that I’m not 18, and they’re happy to help out during these uncertain times. I’m so much more productive working from my parents house because I now have enough space for a decent home office.

I also have coworkers that have openly talked about how their parents refuse to let them move back in during the pandemic, citing the “time to grow up” mentality. I’m all for taking personal responsibility in one’s life, but there are a whole lot of older people out there that are oblivious to just how serious the pandemic has been economically.
It's also a well-known and completely predictable behavior for humans. In just about every other job requiring constant vigilance, there are multiple factors mitigating this failure mode (shift lengths counted in minutes, multiple observers, automated attention checking devices that shut down the machine if not reacted to, other employees ensuring the observers pay attention, etc.).

Uber should absolutely get the blame for creating this situation in the first place; letting a self-driving car out with only a backup driver as safety, and with her phone on her to boot, should not even be allowed.

I suspect you're receiving filtered information (some people have an agenda to prove how bad the government is). You absolutely don't need a lawyer to incorporate. Businesses are registered with the state, not federally, so you're seeing data pertaining to 50 "countries". The lawyer is primarily to prevent you from making what could be costly mistakes but if you don't care about that...

I suspect financial literacy is low everywhere.
>The idea is that risk taking that jeopardizes lives has been encouraged but outsized rewards

That doesn't make much sense though. The size of rewards might incentivize how hard someone works for them and to what extremes, but the objective they're working towards depends on what the reward is, well, rewarding, which is a separate thing. It's perfectly possible to imagine a system where executive compensation was based purely around safety for example, say "$5 million for no flaw-derived fatalities during tenure of 10 years and another $5 million for no flaw-derived fatalities for anything manufactured during tenure for 10 years after retirement", or whatever exact numbers/details you wish. Of course, even that could be "outsized" in that too high+unbalanced a level might encourage the extreme of too little innovation. But merely saying "executives shouldn't get paid more than [number pulled out a random because who knows]" doesn't seem like a directed policy that'd help. And in fact is quite contrary to other comments calling for more personal responsibility and the like.
> what do we do so the backup driver does not watch his phone?

You send this person to prison for negligent homicide, which I think she is guilty of, and remind backup drivers in the future they're still responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle.

To imply that the individual has no culpability for watching a video on her phone while the vehicle she's in charge of runs down and kills a homeless woman is insanity.
Running Noscript doesn't show you how much of the internet is broken but instead is you purposefully breaking the internet for yourself.
Based on what cyphar is saying in this thread, my (somewhat cynical) take is that someone made it up recently and tried to give it an air of 'old wisdom' by falsely attributing it as a Serbian proverb.

The Washington Post, the New York Times, and all the “great liberal media” of the USA are not in court to hear it and do not report it .. !
Well, I cannot undo years of pervasive anti-nuke sentiment in a small hacker news comment.

As an avid fan, I would be more interested in a)- how modern squash players train b)- if they can give me feedback on my game via video.

I once trained with a former World 80, he was a nephew of a former world-champion. His coaching and feedback on the game was 100 times better/different than the club's coach. Training with him for 15 days, I think, had 10x times more ROI than training with club coach.

These professional players / coaches are miles ahead. His feedback on my game, racket skill, movement, and even on warm-up was so different. I had never warmed-up like that before and his prescribed exercises was so different and effective.

It really is good, and it's constantly getting better. The pine64 kernel has a patch merged that supposedly fixes the bluetooth driver crashing on suspend (I haven't tried it yet.) Once you have that installed you can suspend the phone when its locked and the battery life is much better (Personally I have mine set up to suspend anyway and just tolerate the occasional panic.)

IMO: most of the weirdness comes from trying to replace CLI/X11 stuff with phosh. If you install a normal WM/DE like fluxbox or mate everything works like it would on a laptop.

I have played squash and my wife is an orthopaedic surgeon. Per her, and from my experience, I can say that any serious squash is not easy on the joints (knees, ankles, thighs, hamstring, etc). I have done swimming, field-hockey, cricket and table-tennis (though not as a pro) and I can say this with a lot of confidence that Squash was the most intense even its in amateur/basic form.

But if you're in it for fun e.g. play it 3 times a week for like 20 mins then maybe yes, but definitely check this with your doctor.
Millennials face a very real risk of being a lost generation financially. They have endured 2 major, years long recessions, and now the Covid pandemic coupled with social isolation and massive unemployment that does not appear to have an end date in sight. Housing is more expensive for them than prior generations, wages are stagnant, school is expensive and social conflict is also currently on deck.

WW2 was of course a much more trying time but it was followed by massive economic growth for most sectors of the population, I don't see that happening after the pandemic, wealth is just being silo'd and prosperity limited.

That is not quite correct, it is in WSL1 that they are NT processes, with Linux syscall emulation.

But in WSL2 the whole thing runs in a Hyper-V VM, with a customised Linux kernel (available via http://linux.microsoft.com) to help with interoperability between WSL and Windows.
IA would be easier to support and promote if they weren't skirting so close with copyright law with their initiatives. IA really can be grouped into at least 4 parts: web archive, public domain (historical) content, user submitted content, and "other" such as these initiatives.

I don't know for other vendors, but at least for nvidia, there's parity with the Windows drivers, according to the benchmarks and the general stability.
