It makes little sense for someone to contribute to a knowledge base like this one.

One of the quotes from the home page - supposedly written by a person who's tried it out - is as follows:

"18 years later, a startup to take on @Wikipedia --> @golden" [0]

This really confuses me. What exactly would it mean to take on Wikipedia in a meaningful sense? You'd have to build the community of Wikipedia with the same kind of values and ethics governing it, then you'd have to get the novel software (the "AI" thing they claim to be using) implemented in a way that doesn't violate said ethics, nor lowers the quality of the information.

Seems like it'd be much better just to work towards putting the AI into use at Wikipedia. Whatever innovation does end up resulting from this company, it will likely get lost if/when it gets acquired, so in the end few if any people will be able to enjoy its benefits.

I put some effort into trying to find a search/replace to do it. Without a high-powered replacement function, I couldn't do it. But I did do this instead.

function compress(data){
return data.split`&`.sort().join`&`.replace(/(?<=(\w+)=[^&]*)&\1=/g,',');
}
Probably wasn't the bank calling you.
kind of. You can search across all apps on roku, but there is no "dashboard" for all your current shows despite app.
lol, I was hoping it was the other way around.

Some kind of AI that would talk with people that would otherwise put on hold.
Indeed. I'm torn between whether or not to take a look due to this.
Which characters? Is this one of the common test files that float around, like the UNSCII one? Or a private one of your own?
Wouldn't it be cheaper to move to more affluent area ?

My logic here is you could spend that would be tuition money in more expensive housing market and get better schools .
> Growing up, politics was private outside of the family dinner table. Any dedication to an injustice or a good cause was done through donating or volunteering. No yard signs, no shouting, no blaming.

It's a nice thought, but my mother in law has original presidential campaign pins and bumper stickers from as far back as the early 60s.
If you include the ticket ID e.g. [ticket-id] in the commit's description, the commit will automatically be linked to that ticket. You can view the list of all associated commits with a ticket by clicking the 'Check-ins' menu item on the ticket's page. When an item is closed - the link appears struck-thru.

I dont automatically close tickets on commits - since our workflow is commits get reviewed before closing an item- but it is straight forward to write a small few line script to do this if thats your workflow.
WSL2 still can't be superior to Linux proper even if it's not just Linux in VM (which it mostly is, just with specific integration with Windows). There is still hypervisor involved no matter how you slice it.

So if you do need to run something that's Windows only but can work in Wine, I'd totally recommend running using Wine ditch Windows for good. For me it's a benefit, not a hindrance.

And you can run multiple VMs on Linux too if you need actual Windows still (KVM, virt-manager and etc. are quite handy).
"Android TV" isn't really a thing for consumers. You buy a media box or TV which is powered by it. If you like that device, great. If not, buy a Chromecast.
> I can only assume there's some fundamental implementation roadblock I'm missing.

Current low level DOM API has something that fancy reactive data binding techniques will never have: ability to efficiently be used for an extremely wide range of data binding techniques and philosophies.

You go ahead and require implement something like virtual DOM as a standard, then what is everyone who doesn't want virtual DOM, or even this particular flavor of virtual DOM supposed to do? Virtual DOM designs are high level and not extensible. That is not something we need to be forced onto us for decades to come.

That might be hard to understand if you like React and its virtual DOM, and assume something like that will be made the standard, and will remain in fashion forever. How about: Angular v1 bindings are now the standard built into the DOM. How do you feel about that? That's how standardized virtual DOM will feel like in 10-20 years even to those who like it today. No matter what kind of data binding design you choose, React, Angular, some variation of observables or what, it will suck for a lot of people, and increasingly so as time goes by and fashions change.

Data binding is a solved problem on the frontend. It's just solved by libraries in many different ways depending on the developer's preferences. There is nothing wrong with that. The long term cost to centralizing all this diversity into a single opinionated high level API blessed by W3C is completely unacceptable. The low level API is working just fine today.

Not necessarily. My kids went to private school then public school. While private is definitely good, you may not get the classes that are offered in public; high school at least.

As a freshman, my daughter gets to take symphonic and chamber orchestra classes, so that’s 2 hours of cello playing just in school, then she can do another 2 hours of practice at home.
I don't see how your statement "the Civil Rights movement was highly controversial and, among white Americans, fairly unpopular" has anything to do with your reference.

You could still support the Civil Rights movement, but believe that mass demonstrations harm it.

Those two things are completely separate.

> Why is it that the cities in America have such great restaurants but such poor schools?

This isn't really accurate, is it?

Food options for the poor in America are pretty notably terrible.

Nutrition-wise, it's not great for most of the middle class either.

If you have a lot of money, you can find people to help you in America, which is true for both food and school. But I'd much rather be poor in a public school - I went to one - than be poor and have to rely on the bottom of the barrel of the US restaurant and food system.

I haven't seen evidence that the private or public school system is particularly GOOD at overcoming a lot of the challenges that many kids face with poverty, but I also haven't seen the free market in the US be good at providing the poor with quality options in other areas.

(Note also that there are many many countries with much more socialized government programs that also have good restaurants too! Ones that might sneer at the chain-heavy state of American restaurants in most US cities!)
It's only racist if you think it's unfair to make people live with the consequences of their choices. Let them explain to their kids why their forefathers thought the situation was a good idea instead of integration. You don't get to say you can make it on your own and then demand help.

Seems like `defer_if` is meant for things like the `errdefer` case: https://gustedt.gitlabpages.inria.fr/defer/#org4ae1e19 There's no implicit "error for this stackframe" stuff in C so it needs to be given a condition I guess.
Private schools win in this pandemic because they can be in person basically 5 days a week.

But good luck getting any type of special education services in private school. They will kick out kids just after the check is cashed.
I had to read that headline about 10 times before I kind of understood what it was saying. Reading the article helped though.

Tire costs probably aren’t thought of because all cars need tires and consumers are used to paying for them.
The 1918 pandemic lasted roughly two years, and that was during a world war and with far less knowledge, technology and international cooperation than we have today.

Covid-19 will not be over by new year's - it will certainly shape our lifes in some form for the next year or more and there will certainly be many changes in outlook and policy that will stick around - but unless some fundamental discovery upends vaccine development, I don't see any reason why social distancing would become the new permanent way of living.

Hi, posted in the wrong thread (- you want the one about the google phone app thing).
So just because some internal symbols have been leaked (or even have been published by MS in symbols tables) you can copy them legally ? But somehow you can't copy the source code ? But however you can copy a hand (or tool assisted) disassembly and even copy the symbols on top of that ??? Why ? What kind of crazy interpretation of copyright law is that ? (And this is tremendously clear at least something like that has been done for some key parts, and some of the people even told the world they believe this was OK because they did it basically like that...). And oh, maybe in some jurisdiction you actually can, but I would like to have the list. And in the US, especially after Oracle vs. Google I would be astonished to learn that this is actually legal, and I would actually already have been astonished to learn this is legal even before Oracle vs. Google.

Win 2k and NT4 sources have had a very very wide circulation for a long time. Probably there was no source copy directly at source level because they magically audited their codebase, somehow, and told us that this did not happen, BUT it at least means that it's easy for anybody not wanting to take the handwaving at face value to directly do a comparison themselves. And no magical process is going to produce virtually the same functions, including the internals, suddenly not a copyright violation, because of some random wishful thinking about how if you copy with some crazy extra steps and a cute little magical dance in the middle it becomes suddenly ok in the eye of the law. Maybe that idea would make lawyers laugh hysterically while randomly saying "AFC test", but I'm not it would have any other effect.

Just take the two trees and diff key functions and see by yourself. There is no way to justify it can't be reimplemented differently to implement even the same specification. Would MS want to destroy that project, I believe they would be able to do it, effortlessly, in a court. But I suspect it is not worth the potential PR backslash given how the narrative is already set that it is "clean", and the high number of free software enthusiasts believing it blindly for years without even checking by themselves.
I empathize with you in strongest way possible. I think we all should stop being offended so damn much.

I don’t know why I felt the way I did but you’re right - take it easy, we need to be a bit more flexible and allow for room of interpretation. Sorry I felt that way in my initial comment.

I think the offending word was “def”.

Sounds much better and less authoritative :) I know what you meant in the general sense.

The whole flugelhorn sentence.
The issue isn't malware authors acquiring it the source, the issue is that other people would then build said source and run it (XP) or worse, build products on it as XP was very stable. Those systems would then get infected and become botnets.

You don't see people flying in trijets anymore as they are dangerous, likewise you don't want to encourage or incentivize people to use or build products on an insecure OS.

Sympathy doesn't matter in the business world, costs do. No normal company is going to undertake a legal review of an unsupported product; it simply isn't worth it.
It's actually the banks which generate most of the inflation.

When someone deposits money into their bank account, the bank isn't required to keep the full amount in a safe. Banks are actually allowed to lend part of the money without even asking anyone. When they do this, they create money out of nowhere and inflate the economy.

If someone deposits $1000, they can lend some percentage of that value to other people. Something like $500. That's newly created money that isn't backed up by anything and exists only as numbers in a database. It will only become real money when the debt is paid... However, modern economies seem to built around having as much debt as possible.

Printed currency is nothing compared to this.
People do this but communities also zone out lower income housing. My community says they will bring down property values.

I was impacted by this, and ended up building my own replacement with a Raspberry Pi 4 running Home Assistant, a Honeywell T6 Z-wave thermostat, and rtlamr (https://github.com/bemasher/rtlamr) to read the smart meter signal.

You know? I have about 2 dozen 100w E27 superspecial contraband Osrams stowed away somewhere, and don't wish to sell them :)

OTOH I indeed don't really need them anymore (maybe as a temporary spare) because meanwhile I also upgraded everything to warmwhite(2700k) retrofit filaments, which saves much energy and doesn't flicker at all.

They are Osram(by name only, meanwhile chinese owned) "PARATHOM Retrofit CLASSIC A" and "B". No smarts, no frills, no dimming. Just the right light. I'm using the clear ones from 2.5W to 8W. Compared to anything I've tried before they are excellent, and the first ones meanwhile about 3 years old? None of them broke so far.

I’m not saying it’s better. I’m saying it’s good enough that most people aren’t going to drop an extra $150-$199 for an AppleTV4K.

AFAIK, every TV with integrated Roku support is still getting updated.

Even if that’s not the case, you can pick up a Roku stick from Walmart for $30. That’s not to even mention game consoles.
I wonder if transportating less might lead to a budget cut for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission since they have less to preside over.

That sounds quite customer hostile. To play devil’s advocate I’ve heard of two examples supporting that logic. Web browsers that wait for most resources before painting are perceived as faster than those that load in piecemeal. An airport got complaints about having to wait for luggage. In the next renovation they moved the baggage pickup farther away so by the time you walked over there your luggage was almost ready. Perception is reality.

The smallness of SBCL helps speed its continued development. Compiling it from scratch on my laptop and running the smoke tests takes about 1 minute.
I typically work as a salaried W2 consultant with full benefits, paid vacation, etc. I give up a lot of my hourly rate for this, but my W2 salary as a consultant is comparable to the W2 salaries I get offered for normal employment, as are all the benefits. I don't get stock options or client bonuses, but often get some form of profit sharing on the consulting side. I've been burned by enough failed startups or already-established companies whose stock stalls that I don't miss playing the equity lottery; I just want a good paycheck and I'll invest it how I please. My two highest salaries were working for a consulting company, although I've turned down much larger offers for non-consulting roles because I didn't want to be tied to the same job for years.

I agree it's not incongruous, but it can be seen through different lenses.

Just because something doesn't contradict your idea of a hard right-libertarian, doesn't mean that it is a hard right-libertarian view.

You may read it as "identifying an underserved market", but you have start from seeing the underserved as being a market to think that way.

Another reading is to think there are people currently deprived of basic rights to low levels of personal property and interactions that most folk already have and enjoy, and the corporation says it exists to make those rights available to more people in a more egalitarian fashion than the currently broken system permits. That would make it left-libertarian, albeit the market-oriented variety.
Do you mean that financial shocks propagate because a leveraged investor may have to sell assets in market A to fund margin calls in the primary impacted market B, or that economic shocks propagate because supply chains are deep and brittle?
Just introduce a law that when the client tells the magic sentence three times they have to invoke cancellation part of the agreement no questions asked. Let people record their conversations and hold companies accountable.
Ya know, i mentioned above, I don't like the light LED's produce. I notice the difference and for me the difference in price in the end is negligible

I really don't understand this incessant need to convince people they should switch to different lightbulbs, when my choice in lightbulbs in no way impacts anyone else. I live in a place with 100% renewable power. As far as i'm concerned, the simplicity and lack of chemicals in the bulbs I choose, outweighs the potential energy savings as far as that goes.

My choices come down to what I prefer and what I feel my impacts are based on those choices. I've thought it out and this is what I choose and I shall keep on doing so until I no longer can and the lobbying has forced incandescents entirely off the market.

The Chernobyl exclusion zone is 30km in radius. It’s not at all clear that serious effects do not extend beyond that, for instance to agricultural lands in Belarus.

Someone who's so against FEELING you sure present lots of opinions as facts.
Generally agreed but I don't think "distributing porn" compares to the other examples given. There's definitely a subset of porn that treats involved parties fairly and doesn't pose ethical problems. Demonizing porn as a medium only pushes it into a moral grey zone which benefits harmful entities because there's less public awareness of their actions.
BQ Slots lets you do essentially that (pre-commit to a particular cluster size)
I believe this is exactly what slot reservations in BigQuery achieve. Instead of paying on-demand pricing that is determined by data read, you purchase a fixed number of “slots” that are shared by queries running within that particular project.

Aside from all of the debates, it's just the hardest of hardcore terminal opinions to be militantly hardline on not only going the opposite of the suckless/st default,[1] but to double down on not even implementing the means to toggle it.

I don't think I respect it, and it's one of many reasons why I bounced off kitty (and certainly helps explain why I bounce off so many design decisions in Calibre), but there's still a spark of awe in seeing it happen in public.

No, it wouldn't, see the terminal unlock code for contract phones discussed below. If your opinion is that the free market is all correcting and magical and that laws and regulations should never intervene in private consumer choices, I have a failed state I can introduce you to, not to mention a salmonela infested burrito.
The frequency passband on old-school analogue POTS isn't wide enough to play music with acceptable fidelity. The upper frequency limit for POTS services is 3.4KHz, which is far below the ~15Khz needed for half-passable music fidelity.

Modern digital is worse because it combines the frequency passband of analogue with combinations of codecs and bit rates that can't support the audio complexity of music.
>> The original goal of C was to allow writing programs in a platform independent way, i.e. without having to write different code for different arches.

I think it was meant to be a portable language, not to let you write portable code. With the size of standard types being machine dependent you couldn't write completely portable code, but you could write C on a lot of hardware.

It's like how 8 bit computers all had BASIC but weren't compatible. If you knew one it was easy to get going on another because at some level it was all BASIC.
For what it's worth: The issue about bold and blink performing colour changes is widespread across terminal emulators. It has come up for Windows Terminal, for example, and the libVTE people have already addressed this. In reality, the only terminfo entry that even does this any more is the linux-16color one for the built-in Linux terminal emulator.

There's a sea change happening here. It's a post-VGA world. Boldface means boldface.

If I am understanding correctly, if my BI folks want to report on things like order total or order sub total, or order sub total + shipping, or order sub total + tax, or presumably anything about the contents of the order (SKUs, quantities, per item pricing, price adjustments, coupons and promotions, etc...) instead of capturing a "order submitted" event, we'd have to capture every add to cart, every cart pricing recalc operation, shipping address added, shipping method selected, shipping cost added to order, shipping method changed, new shipping cost added to order, etc... as separate events? And have the smarts to generate reports using the final selected shipping method (for example) for calculations?

For an average-ish B2C order that could be dozens of events, and for a complex B2B order that might easily be hundreds of events.
