Given W3C's emphasis on URLs as a permanent reference to content, I'm surprised they use a CMS at all. My next blog-ish project will be static HTML compiled from markdown. When I move on, so long as I keep paying for hosting, it'll remain accessible at the original URL.

I don't know of a proper CMS that behaves this way, but I confess I haven't investigated the problem since it's not a pressing one for me right now.
Please note: Starting with Debian 7, the minor number is not part of the Debian release number, and numbers with a minor component like 9.4 or 9.7 now indicate a point release. Basically, only security updates and major bug fixes, with new updated installation media images. This, 10.6, is not a new major release of Debian.

Historical context: It wasn’t always like this; Debian 3.1 was a major release after Debian 3.0, and Debian 6.0 had minor releases up to 6.0.10. This did not change until Debian 7 (which was called 7, not 7.0, and had a minor release numbered 7.1). Therefore, many people might still assume that an increase of the first minor version number is a major release, even though it is not true anymore.
But if we assume that employees at FANG don't want bad things to happen to the US and verifiably bad things are happening to the US on those platforms, then the null hypothesis is that a Tiktok that also doesn't want bad things to happen to the US will also have an equally large number of bad things happening to the US regardless. To disprove the null hypothesis, you would have to demonstrate that Tiktok has a statistically significant increase in the amount of badness it's causing to the US per unit of attention which is difficult to do when the baseline amount of badness is already so high.

Maybe we should focus more on decreasing that baseline so we can actually figure out if foreign companies are doing bad things to the US out of malice or indifference?
It depends what you mean by "influential"
Yes, but that's irrelevant to your parent commenter's point. I'll explain that in simpler terms: If the object has the slightest bit of (linear) momentum then it also has a non-zero velocity, which will over time move it away from said Lagrange point.

I'll add that even with zero velocity, the Lagrange points are stable only in an ideal system where the only gravitational influence is from the two bodies between which the Lagrange points sit. An object sitting on a Lagrange point could still be perturbed by attraction from other planets or passing asteroids. Given enough time, no orbit stays stable.
My doctor may have been blunt with me because I grew up with family that has it. I've known what it was since I was 5.

But my doctor says the same lately, not even dimethyl fumerate was out there yet in 2012 and the best drugs merely reduced the probability of an attack by a little under 50%. Several current drugs I think are more like 70% and way gentler to take. Still far from perfect though, I've gotten worse despite three very different medications. But with MS we're kind of just playing the odds, and that 70% is aggregated across all underlying causes. Mine is almost certainly genetic. Maybe one drug works great for genetic causes but badly for some say chemical exposure that triggered it. But no one can tell that's the case.

That seems like something that could be improved for sure, personalized medicine. But I also don't find it hard to believe that we'll be regenerating nerves in ten years, that seems entirely reasonable given how long we've been studying them and the tools now available.

It is not contrary. There are allegations of coordinating with the Trump campaign, but there was no proof and ultimately no charges.
Table stakes but likely won’t be enough. If it’s a stolen card, the owner will charge back and you can’t keep the deposit. If you get too many chargebacks your payment provider will drop you. If you charge someone for damage they did that they don’t want to own up to, they will issue a chargeback. You will likely win the dispute if you can point to ToS violations but it’s a huge pain and ties up money for a few weeks.

In your example, the car rental company is doing something on the backend to determine your trustworthiness before they give you the car—you should consider a similar approach.
It's right there on the safety card, if they care to look.

I guess it's too late by then.
Nobody was switching to Linux on the desktop; its desktop market share has remained steadily negligible for the past twenty years. I'll wager this is aimed at unseating Mac as the UNIX-alike development environment of choice.
I read it as the first, with a side of "We need to do this or FL/OSS hardware is going to look bad".

> I don’t know what battery pinephones source

From the Pinephone wiki: "Battery: Lithium-ion, rated capacity 2800mAh (10.64Wh), typical capacity 3000mAh (11.40Wh) (nominally replaceable with any Samsung J7 form-factor battery)"

I guess they're sourcing unmarked Samsung compatible batteries which should be all protected, where should equals to 99.999%.

If that's the case, then there's no way malicious software or even firmware could damage it. The protection in those batteries is implemented hardware level; the chip contained in the cell will cut off its connection if it detects either an excessive discharge current (to avoid potential explosion), excessive voltage discharge (to avoid chemical degradation and subsequent charging attempts related dangers), excessive temperature (again to avoid explosion), excessive charging current (... explosion). They are all detected outside of system control, so no need for panic.

You can, although most packages are written assuming Linux and getting stuff like tramps to work (which requires paths that are apparently impossibly to type in windows), is a bit of a challenge.

Of all the issues I've had with emacs about 80% of them could be traced to running emacs on windows. Not through any fault on windows side mind (except possibly the insane decision to use a different path syntax).
I think we’ve also entered a stage where people have learned to cynically leverage “cancellation” as a marketing strategy.

There’s no shortage of people who will rally behind someone whose been “cancelled” without any attention to the particulars. Knowing this, you can go out of your way to be cruel or obnoxious, and then turn around an play the victim to yet another mob, happy to indulge your ploy.

If you're like me, and just don't want to shut off Linux to play some games, I'd recommend looking into virtualising Windows and PCI passthroughing your GPU. I just change the channel on my monitor to switch between Linux and Windows, but if you have two monitors you can dedicate one to each OS. You don't need a hardware kvm switch, evdev lets you swap keyboard/mouse control between host and guest OS with LCtrl+RCtrl, and audio goes through Pulseaudio.

You get to avoid using WSL and get the full Linux experience without compromising gaming – with few exceptions: the more extreme anti-cheat software detects VM usage, and that applies to a very small set of AAA games.
The thing that about me the most is how much it's pushing fear without any evidence of something bad actually happening. Has there been a single pinephone that has caught on fire?

After reading the title I honestly expected to see photos from some Chinese fake European town. That would actually be quite funny.

Actually, I find it quite embarrassing that Europe, who often refers to its "European culture" cannot decide on real life people or architectural landmarks to be printed on its bank notes, because some country may feel devaluated with it's national symbol only being on the 10 Euro note.
That isn't the whole picture. It wasn't just stable power supply but the power required - fabs need the power equivalent of a small city at peak production. But a bigger problem than that is the amount of water it consumes and wastes. Water is a precious resource in India and indian states frequently get into a tiff on it when THERE isn't enough to meet the farmers demand for agriculture in their respective state.

In fact, even recently Taiwan Semiconductors (TSMC) expressed interest in setting up a fab in India, away from a planned plant in China, but the indian government is hesitating because water resources cannot be guaranteed. And so TSMC is exploring options in other countries.
I think I have only met one person using Windows for development (recently-ish). All people I know in UK, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy are either Mac or Linux.

At a minimum! Like I said, the deposit is meaningless if it’s a stolen card.

Anecdotally, our fraud attempts dropped drastically when we blocked pre-paid credit cards. I’m sure we lost some legitimate business, but when weighing a 10% cut of a rental fee against replacing a stolen item, the math worked out.
All the facilities to do that kind of metaprogramming are already there, it just takes some libraries to put them on your fingertips

https://github.com/lihaoyi/macropy

The "LISP is homoiconic" trope is oversimplified; the Python stdlib gives access to the compiler, parse trees, bytecode, etc. There are more moving parts, but with the edges sanded off syntactic macros should be comfortable in Python -- and take the burden of innovation off CPython and PyPy promoting simplicity there for the long term.

The Python folks have been switching Python to a PEG grammar

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0617/

At the moment I am little disappointed at the Py 3.10 source code because they haven't exposed the PEG parser to Python programmers yet as they promised. You could use this to do little stunts like adding an "unless x:" statement equivalent to "if not x:" or write a parser for the strange query language your organization uses that lets you sort the dict's it returns to you in the same order you put the fields in the select clause...
Otter and qutebrowser are based on QtWebEngine which is a wrapper around Blink (Chromium's engine), Min is using Electron which is also a wrapper around Blink, surf uses WebKitGTK which is a wrapper around WebKit (Safari's engine) and Bromite actually says is a Chromium's fork. The contributors for those browsers have to only maintain the GUI which is just the tip of the iceberg. As for Links, it cannot render most of the web.

Basilisk and its sibling Pale Moon are an example of how hard a fork is (both being pre-Quantum Firefox); features removed because cannot be maintained, incompatibilities, poor performance and many vulnerabilities.

Why would you be running on battery while connected to the dock and an external monitor?! That seems like doing some math without thinking about the practical mechanics of being docked.

How would the steps “extend” and “exterminate” look like in this situation?

If Microsoft does anything people don’t like with WSL, people can move back to another Linux distribution, the cost is almost zero to move back to a Debian or Ubuntu.
Scientists Flu F
The good news is that if Microsoft becomes Micro$oft of old, you can just move off Windows and back to just normal old Linux.

At the moment though, this brings Linux and the entire Linux software ecosystem, a pretty good desktop experience, all of the Windows hardware/software ecosystem, and very good integration between the two environments.

It's sort of everything that OS X/MacOS used to be with respect to a great GUI + nix CLI. But Apple has given about as much attention to the nix side of the software as I give the sewage lines that run under my house.

With a Windows GUI and a CLI that is one of several distros. You get the benefits of the enormous hardware support Windows provides, but all of the opensource software the open source community provides.

Who knows what the long-term strategy is, but it's suddenly made Windows useful as a development platform again, right when Apple has started taking their eyes off the ball and has been ignoring the *nix side of their platform for years.

The big danger of WSL is in drivers. For many hardware vendors, driver development is a cost center. It they could just get away with writing a single Windows Driver and then rely on a Microsoft supplied WSL universal driver which just does pass through to the Windows driver, it would cut down on their development cost. With GPU pass through, Microsoft already has this type of model, where the graphics driver on the Linux side of WSL is just a thin shim that calls to the Windows GPU driver. In the future, I could see NVidia, making all their consumer GPU drivers like this, and reserving native Linux drivers for their professional GPUs, which would help them segment the market better.

Richard Stallman on James Gosling:

“[…] a friend of mine told me that because of his work in early development of Gosling Emacs, he had permission from Gosling in a message he had been sent to distribute his version of that. Gosling originally had set up his Emacs and distributed it free and gotten many people to help develop it, under the expectation based on Gosling’s own words in his own manual that he was going to follow the same spirit that I started with the original Emacs. Then he stabbed everyone in the back by putting copyrights on it, making people promise not to redistribute it and then selling it to a software-house. My later dealings with him personally showed that he was every bit as cowardly and despicable as you would expect from that history.”

— Richard Stallman, lecture at KTH (Sweden), 30 October 1986
What platforms does this run on? (It doesn't even say on the "About Debian" page)
Literally everything in your list is about developers.

Literally nothing in your list is about editors or end users.

Maybe take a look at the words "content management platform" and consider whether maybe developers aren't the most important people in this particular world.

Most people love WordPress because most people aren't nerds. They want to easily publish content using a familiar and intuitive interface. They couldn't give a monkey's about whether it's written in PHP, Django, Perl, some Jamstack fad or BBC basic.
You mentioned that content changes are versioned in Git using the Netlify workflow. Why would that be useful if not for being part of an editor workflow? If it's not part of the editor workflow, is it part of the development workflow? What are we comparing this to? versioning in Google Docs? MySQL? How is it something I should "love?"

> Migrating static sites where the content + theme are all stored in Git is a dream compared to WordPress.

Wordpress (and similar) site migration has been a well solved problem for quite some time. Sure, there might be easier ways to do migration but that's a long ways down my list of things to worry about when choosing my tooling. Ease of migration isn't much of a consideration.

> A lot of WordPress sites aren't even under source control...

A lot of Wordpress sites are a dumpster fire actively attacking the internet. That's not the sites I build and manage. I'll create static websites for my own usage, but not for buyers of my services.

Any headless CMS service (as opposed to self hosted) is really just an option of interfaces on the market. Of the things which matter to buyers, that interface is everything on the back-end (the site as a whole has more important goals.) The buyer doesn't care about ease of migration, how content is stored, etc. Only developers care about these things. So, let's talk about what buyers want, not developers.

If a X headless CMS service can provide the best UI for the buyer, then that's what everyone should default to. If not, then all other bullet points don't matter.
I really have to learn more about Rust.
Surprised that Oracle hasn't yet sued these developers for some api violation or similar bullshit.
Computers are multi-function, and often general purpose.
Um, never? The average developer doesn't know or understand anything about the kernel, they just like the UNIX shells and CLI environment. The popularity of the Mac (which, BTW, doesn't use the Linux kernel) is proof of that.
XP was a rewrite of the shell window decorations + controls system, to support drawing these as collections of bitmaps with fonts on top. Likely they were inspired to do this by the fact that macOS was doing things with buttons, modal backgrounds (pinstripe!), etc. that Windows couldn’t do at the time with its hardcoded GDI-draw-call based theming.

Microsoft knew that they wanted the flexibility to be able to do what macOS was doing with theming. But they didn’t have a clear vision of what they were going to use it for. They likely built the theming engine first, and then handed it to their designers to actually come up with a visual identity.

But the new theme engine needed to be tested while it was being built. And what better test, than to see if it can replicate all the things macOS can do that Windows, until then, could not? Probably they considered the theming engine “done” when it reached parity with macOS’s capabilities.

* Real-time browsing records from your mobile ISP, home ISP, and behavioral advertising networks

* Your complete prescription history from your pharmacy

I've used this for migrating some applications. It worked well enough. In addition, the "orafce" extension was also useful in reducing required changes to the actual SQL queries the applications made.

In my case, the applications were relatively simple, but many of the queries used sequences explicitly, and the lack of a common syntax there was a slight pain point.

Not if driver developers say "we don't need to support Linux anymore, everyone uses WSL2 anyway".

I can understand how we got here, but the idea of a guitar tab being copyrighted is strange to me. It's not like you can do a "clean room implementation" of a guitar tab: if you're transcribing the music accurately, the resulting tab should look indistinguishable from the copyrighted one. So how would you be able to tell whether it was infringing or not?
Oops. Luckily the argument still holds. You can prevent the aliens from winning with certainty.

>Apple may be 10% worldwide, including Asian markets like India.

Well in 2000 there wasn't much computer in China or India.

Of course today that is a lot different. But if Apple's numbers were correct [] then MacBook Pro market share isn't growing, as a matter of fact MBP usage may be shrinking in the West.

[] For a number of years they claim nearly 50% of Mac buyers are new to the platform. That is nearly 10M per year.

Nearly all of the new Mac users are from China.

And yet their reported Active Mac User dont grow any where near as much.

2019 was also the first year in recent history Apple stopped reporting on Mac user satisfaction.
Android? And with Android x86 you can run it on PC's too. For people who just browse and check emails, it's a pretty decent alternative.
