Have you lived in a 1000-2000 people town/village without a car ? I did at one point when I was younger - our islands here have plenty of such places.

-- I called the points debatable. The entire argument strategy is looking point X in history and then point Y in history, noting Y is better than point X and then saying essentially that anyone questioning the steps that took us from point X to point Y is a complete moron and doesn't deserve to have their position addressed further.

I'm actually living in one of the few surviving original cities of the area (Nevada City, official population 3,000).

I could drive my car 1-2 a week before Covid and drive it even less now. Of course, as hip, hippy town the place now benefits from it's connection Sacramento and the Bay Area. But those longer connections could happen primarily by rail, in places in Europe, these connect do happen by rail. Brighton wouldn't be Brighton-as-it-is without rail connections to London.
You might like to address your corrections to the supreme court, as they're citing the 1972 Value-Added Tax act verbatim; https://courts.ie/acc/alfresco/fad40678-a172-44c7-9f84-66f8c...

It appears the Finance Act doesn't replace the Value-Added Tax act; a large part of the case verbiage came down to the VAT Act citing "food or drink" vs and the Finance Act citing "food and drink". I believe both acts implement EU directives so the same exception had to be carved into each; one doesn't replace the other.

It's actually a fairly interesting judgement to read. It's almost entirely either balancing one act against another, or nitpicking the grammatical constructs towards the principle of doubtful penalisation. I especially liked the detours into whether hot tea and cold tea are the same thing, and whether tea and coffee can be said to have been cooked. Whether bread is bread is a relatively small part of the argument, with the percentages only being relevant to 2 points of the 99 (and it wasn't disputed, they were rather disputing the legal construct of a sandwich. I kid ye not.)

"This seems a very cumbersome and unnatural description of a hot meatball sandwich."
If someone committed a violent crime and we were worried about them behaving violently again, I would NOT hire them for retail. You have to deal with some real assholes as a retail employee. Sitting at a computer programming is much less infuriating than someone yelling at you about their food order being late.
Re. bit-banding (the "expanded" form of a register) -- I don't think that's available outside Cortex-M3/M4. It isn't even available on Cortex-M7, as it interacts poorly with caching.
Even if you've "reformed your past ways of crime" after serving jail time and "learned your lessons":

non-felon > felon

Especially in terms of potential risks to my staff or property. Basically, would you hire a babysitter with a criminal record or one without a criminal record and good references?

Maybe my employees break the law when they're not at work, but that's none of my business. If one of my employees is indicted or cited for rioting / DUI, welp I'll fire them on the spot.

Also, re "all crimes are behind you once you leave prison" - how would you explain repeat offenders? At this point I'm trusting my business against statistics of a felon committing a crime again lmao.
Where is this level of brutal violence the expectation of public school? That sounds far more like an 80s movie.

At risk of oversharing and personalizing, we attend school in Brooklyn, at a school that prioritizes inclusion of non-native English speakers and kids on food assistance. A large percentage of our classroom's kids live in public housing. It's a safe room and building.

And, please don't kid yourself about private school buying your way out of the potential for traumatic experiences. Elite boarding schools don't have the best histories wrt sexual assault.

Thanks for the update and for responding here. Hadn't heard about the v7 plans, so good luck — sounds like a good move.

I don't have any particular support complaints myself; my comment was based more on perception based on Twitter & other discussions I'd seen.

Only you're claiming that past criminals don't want to be productive members of society on a thread wherein multiple people with criminal pasts are demonstrably productive members of society, damn the hurdles they faced from society in achieving that. This isn't a teapot situation, this is you ignoring the evidence at hand and whinging about the color of elephants.

> It isn't shipped on macOS, and the Homebrew version of Git has it packaged separately.

That's a bit like saying python doesn't ship with a GUI because ubuntu split tkinter out; projects can't control what downstream does, and the complaint from the article was that they didn't want a second dependency; gitk is part of the git project so it's a single dependency just as much as relying on fast-import would be.

Yes, I suspect fossil's timeline is better than gitk, particularly since gitk has changed almost not at all in the past decade. However the complaint was not that gitk was worse than timeline, it was that there was no tool even slightly like it in git (and then the github "network graph" was not part of git, and worse than the Fossil timeline; that particular point makes me think gitk was never considered).
Afaik, obstacles are not just prison. It is how ex prisoners have much limited housing options, employment options. And how those living with them (like family) have them limited housing options too.
If you're logged in there's an option in user prefs to always use old.reddit, even on www.reddit
It depends on the country... Legally this is a quagmire here in Europe. Every country has its own rules.

Generally most companies I know have an opt-out option in the IVR now (IVR = voice menu). Or opt-in in the countries where that is required.
> spawn -> receive -> loop cycle is so clean and illuminating that I wish newbies would hold out before learning OTP sometimes

Yes it is neat and its fun to play with but it isn't usually something you want to use in production code. In production code it is important to have processes linked correctly so that errors propagate to callers. GenServer.call handles this for you, and also clarifies intent (blocking call to another process that must respond or fail).
Some people don't like using "they" as a singular, myself included, in serious writing.

Though the singular "they" has been in the English language since something like the 14th century, for the past hundred-and-fifty or so years, some prescriptive grammarians have been advising against it, insisting that it's an error. I is perhaps due to the efforts of these grammarians that "they" has come to be regarded as informal, giving text a colloquial or conversational flavor.

How you can avoid sexism is my sometimes using "he" and sometimes "she" as a meta-variable for some unspecified person (consistently for the same person).

If you make the he:she ratio exactly 50% in your corpus, you're above all accusation of sexism.
The Local Bubble is thought to have been caused my multiple supernovae. See e.g. this 2002 paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0205128v2

Edit: Here's a more recent paper - https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-3... :

> "More detailed models for the origins of the Local Bubble have found that it requires anywhere from 3 (Smith and Cox 2001) to 20 (Fuchs et al. 2006) SNe to create a bubble with the correct characteristics in terms of size, pressure, and emission characteristics."

Your not wrong and, I don't like us overreach.

That said... They only banned US users from 2017. And the ban is really just a one off ip geo check. They don't check ID (at all), they don't even ask address, no requirement for national ID numbers etc. I think it's ridiculous how much effort other (non US) companies put into making sure Americans can't sneak in. But that's what's needed to avoid this. If you choose to ignore a risk and then it comes back to bite you...
Strange Linux
Sure, and that's another thing that wouldn't show up in statistics directly.

Although it's important to note that alcohol was illegal, and tobacco is becoming increasingly low-status and accordingly restricted.

The end of Prohibition meant that the enforcement apparatus for it needed something new to do. I believe this was another contributing factor to continuing the broken logic of Prohibition with new substances.

You see no difference between 20 vs. 25 amps and 20 vs. 100?

I didn't say any difference was unacceptable, but a significant difference for 20/25 should not be accepted.

If the danger gets gradually worse for every 5 amps on the fuse, that's fine. Then the excess danger at 25 or 30 amps is only a tiny fraction of the excess danger at 100 amps. Good work.

If the danger has a sudden sharp increase at a certain amperage, then that amperage threshold needs to be further away than a mere 20/25 difference. Or even 20/30.
I'm sure people would care far less about ceo pay if they felt Firefox was headed in a good direction
We Americans are bad at forgiving. If someone commits a crime we think they should get whatever comes their way, but people make mistakes and I want to live in a society where someone can screw up, but work hard to improve themselves and become a productive member of society. If you have two children and one is constantly bullying the other, you dont take the bullied child out for icecream everytime because that doesn’t improve the situation in the long term. You put the time and energy into the misbehaving one to correct the situation forever.

What was the purpose of sharing that quote then, if not to disparage the sentiment? To disparage whoever said it? Do you know when that quote was made, as Gandhi’s views (which were a product of his time and upbringing) evolved over the span of his life?
I’m not sure why it’s being downvoted, in the UK a phone account in your name is one of the most common forms of ID there is no universal government issued ID, not everyone has a drivers license or a passport and if you are living in a flat share or student accommodations you won’t have utility bills in your name.
It is funny, because neither rapes nor domestic violence are why people are actually in prison. Both are actually crimes that pretty low successful sentence and incarceration rates.

The prisons being full is not about law enforcement locking up these. It is more of them ignoring these.

That's an insane amount of spam. The percentage is irrelevant, look at the real number: we're talking tens of thousands of instances of undue burden on the maintainers of open source packages.

And the number of "nice PRs" is essentially irrelevant here: this is not a zero sum game, a thousand good PRs don't cancel out a project getting flooded with bad PRs.

If your event can't prevent substantial abuse of the community you pretend to do this for, you should stop your event and figure out how to do better.

Should Big Tech Whistleblowers Quit Their Jobs?
I really liked Chicago. The people are earnest , hard working and straight forward. Exact opposite of the snakes I encountered in LA.

The bitter cold isn't that bad, it stops tent cities from taking over. The El is fast and cheap. The tech industry is moderately strong. Not as big of a startup scene , but your rent + transportation costs are 1/2 of what they are in LA. Does suck that Illinois has no money and no one knows how they're going to pay all those pensions, but if you ignore that it's great
I'm rebasing because the problem from commit #2 isn't fixed. We have a test that shows the problem from commit #2. However commit #4 breaks things in some way that the test we are running can't run. Squashing the commits together fixes this. If commits #4 and #5 were both on a feature branch before merging, squashing would be done by rebasing in the feature branch.

I'm not saying all commits from a feature branch should be squashed to a single commit, but commits like "oops forgot to update header file" or some such are noise.

Rewriting history is about improving the signal-to-noise ratio. You may lose some signal (the Fossil argument against it), but if you lose more noise than signal it may be worth it (the git argument for it).

Funny how JTAG these days is synonym with in-circuit debugger. The original use of the port was to support IC interconnect testing, and for high density boards it still is. For external parallel and serial memories you can use the boundary scan registers to bit bang the pins and read the inputs. In fact, that was a popular way to program external memories on fresh boards if they didn't come with embedded bootloaders.

Even if you don't have the scan configuration file of a particular chip for your tool, they are very standard and easy to figure out. No desoldering required!
Every case is nuanced. You can’t say murder == life without screwing something up in the system. It’s not simple or trivial to solve.

Luckily many places around the world solve it differently so we can look at those systems and observe.
It's hard to prosecute these militia groups before they are actually crossing the line to do something illegal. On the other hand, wouldn't it be funny if all the vague post-911 anti terrorism legislation was applied to them?

People have asked if Silicon Valley would ever go the way of Detroit? If it happened this would be a preview.

> I had a great experience with Hacktoberfest last year.

Yeah same here, but as a contributor. I decided I wanted to make my PRs count and decided on a targeted effort of taking one mans tiling WM for Windows[1] and fixing enough of the stability issues and race-conditions I found to the point where I should be able to use it myself.

Not a single one of those PRs was “cheap”, and the resulting improvements in quality and stability has lead that WM now to seemingly have more users and doing better than it used to.

And now I have a tiling WM whick is actually usable the times I have to use Windows. Win win, as far as both I and that project-owner is concerned.

>In 1979, arcade cabinet screens were limited to a few hundred pixels on a side, so the player's ship was only connected graphically by about 20 points. This meant, in turn, that there were only a limited number of orientations that they could render for the ship, in this case intervals of 5 degrees.

I don't know if it is a mistake, but it's strange to talk of pixels, because this game uses a vector monitor, not a bitmapped display. There are no pixels really. The 5 degree rotational step may have been due to some other limitation, perhaps of integer arithmetic, or limited storage space for a pre-calculated look up table, or using an 8 bit variable?
Yet another reason to avoid using phones for phone calls!
As a side note, #3 isn't possible in git because commits don't belong to branches, but that's addressed in a different point from the article in question.
You don't find it misleading because you already know what an OTP Supervisor's role is limited to, and you know that Kubernetes (among a thousand other things) also provides that one feature. But its not a good analogy since it can only be understood by someone who doesn't need it to be explained.
I don't think "genuinely rural" means anything. Plenty of places in the US and around the world have been abandoned when no economic opportunities existed. As I said, the cities of 100 years ago are abandoned - rural population of that era has moved - some a short distance, some a long distance. The US has made decision (consciously or by default) to encourage dispersed rural/exurban/suburban development fueled by the private automobile. It probably can't reversed entirely but there's no "genuine, authentic rural thing-in-itself" that cries for automobile without history.
