Seriously this isn't a problem. My native Norwegian exists in 4 different written forms. Two of the forms are official. A language can have multiple written forms. Both of these forms are maintained by the Norwegian language board.

You simple create a British, American, Canadian, Australian etc language board. Then these boards can choose to coordinate and cooperate. There is no problem having multiple written forms. The point is two have these written forms standardized and maintained.

E.g. Norwegian regularly imports new words from other languages. Usually the board will create Norwegian variants of these following Norwegian phonetical rules. These become one of several valid variant of a word. E.g. we imported the word "genre" from French. The board made a Norwegian spelling for it "sjanger." Both versions where valid until gradually "sjanger" replaced "genre."

The Dutch and the Flemish have different language boards but the cooperate so Dutch and Flemish is to my knowledge almost identical in spelling.
So where do you stand on 230? Are private entities responsible for the content they host? If we repeal 230 and someone posts something falsely defaming me, who do I sue?
> This isn't universally true in the US. Millions lost their homes in the great recession and never fully recovered, it's just easy to forget that the American economy doesn't work for everyone when it does work for you. Now millions more face eviction and starvation amidst a major public health crisis.

On a per capita basis, home ownership was at an all-time high during the 2000s before the crisis and crashed down to 90s levels after the crisis and has returned now to a level not ever seen during the 1900s. In the worst of the Great Recession more people still owned homes than during the 70s-80s.

Starvation is not a realistic outcome for anyone in the US who chooses to use social safety nets. Both government and private programs provide meals to people who need them and are available all across the country. What you might be thinking of is “food insecure” households, which are people that would need such programs.

WRT wealth inequality, that is mostly a meaningless statistic for actual lifestyle of the lower and middle class. All it tells you is that the wealth growth was faster at the top than at the bottom. Not that the bottom got worse or even stayed stagnant for that matter.

From the perspective of the data on violence, purchasing power, disposable income, home ownership, etc, society appears to be quite stable. From the perspective of shared stories on social media, I can see why you might be led to think otherwise.
I'm probably biased because I competed in those competitions in college and do know some people who did very well (though of course not as well as him). He's definitely a > 99th percentile RE and hacker, to be sure. I was just talking about raw cognitive ability, but he absolutely may very well be > 99th percentile there as well.
So in that case are you against 230? If someone falsely defames me, who do I sue?

The quantization of energy is mostly a 1920's observation that created the name Quantum Mechanics, due to a lot of interference effects among wave functions in various spherical or cylindrical symmetric arrangements that result in a lot of macroscopical effects seemingly being quantized, especially compared to the classical physics that preceded QM. But most are not fundamental effects, they are emergent.

When you go into smaller length and timescales, these quantization effects kind of lose or change their meaning.

So an electron doesn't instantaneously change between "shells" in an atom upon reception of a photon if you look closely enough, there are indeed smooth intermediary states and maybe the researchers are saying they detected subtleties in these states (I didn't read the original research article yet).
I agree most of the tracking and adtech is straightforward textbook illegal, and the norm in the sector.

The issue I have is the general lack of enforcement. Selective enforcement of standing laws is ripe for abuse, and creates a situation where every rational actor assumes they'll never be first to be hit, as everyone else does it too...

It seems to me right now what we need is high throughput bulk and even prosecution of each and every violator, one by one. After the first few take place, and the pace of enforcement is made clear, this will become a higher priority to the rest of the sector (who will subsequently be prosecuted for their misconduct in any case, to ensure even handedness).

Clearly there are practical issues around trying so many cases, but this is where regulators need to innovate in the same way tech companies innovate to defeat regulations. Perhaps we need hearings to establish illegality of a set of actions, and simpler fact finding hearings to merely determine that given conduct fit into that illegal set of actions. Strict liability offences (prove it was done, no need to prove fault or intent) could also help (where appropriate).
>Excel suffers from being accessible to "everyone", and having a low barrier of entry.

I call this "baby with a nailgun syndrome". You end up with a bloody mess.
If you falsely slander me, doesn't 230 make it so that Hacker News can't get sued? If the government is protecting the company here, then the government should be able to also enforce rules that come with that benefit right?
I wonder what will happen with all the plugins that only worked on the "in premise" version of JIRA. I remember at some point going through the offering of plugins and a lot of them where only available for that version.

Since the US seems to be in a 50 year culture cycle loop, may I recommend for our younger readers to look into the back-to-the-land movement of the early 1970s.

This era had its share of tech advances, but with an underlying ethos and aesthetic of living with nature and self-reliance/small group intentional community. It was co-opted at times by mass media and advertising, but did a decent job in fighting back. It was mostly, almost effortlessly inclusive, sometimes to its detriment. SF is still dealing with the long tail ripples of 1970s hyperinclusivity.

The phrase I remember, from the de facto uniform of sysadmins of the time, was system administrators wore hiking boots because you never knew when a mountain might show up in the computer center. Hypernatural to balance out the hyperartificial of caring for a silicon beast all day.
If I was going to switch anyway, I wouldn't switch to Azure DevOps Server, I'd switch to GitHub Enterprise. I don't think there's much of a future for Azure DevOps.
You're supposed to get super drunk and eat snacks and shout at the TV and talk about life and stuff with your friends. Gambling can also help to alleviate boredom.
I don't believe there was a clock at all which makes sense. We don't have clocks accurate enough to measure things at this time scale. From the link:

> “Since we knew the spatial orientation of the hydrogen molecule, we used the interference of the two electron waves to precisely calculate when the photon reached the first and when it reached the second hydrogen atom,"
I don't think big tech is all that eager to actually solve this. Mitigate - yes, but not solve. What is their motivation to really fight this? They have capacity to spare and insecurity is a wonderful driver of cloud service adoption. Also, they are in a much better position than smaller companies to deal with security-related regulation if something of that sort will pass congress.

IoT is a huge contributor to the DDoS problem right now, but I don't see any big names campaigning against it. It's not really seen as a threat, but as an opportunity. Many problems in security are, in fact, opportunities for big tech to consolidate power, squash smaller competitors and charge more for basic services.
The "Textbook definition" point you made is quite confusing.

"Being who you are" means that you keep your values static and shape your decisions around those, unless there is some additional nuance to this.

The GP is making a point that you need to make a clear assessment of yourself - in particular your actions, your deficiencies and strengths and identify values to adopt which could make a positive impact to your life. That's not the the same thing according to me, unless I misinterpreted what you intended.
This is also the default positions of most (almost all) linguists. You don't get to tell a dog what counts as barking.
This is pretty much the same reason that PHP is much maligned - it certainly has gotchas but they're not so much dangerous than, say, the C++ gotchas... When everyone is able to "have a go" at a tool they'll all abuse it in their special way to get things done and good on them for doing it since if every data problem required an engineering team to solve everyone's business would grind to a halt.

This. I try to avoid calls as much as I can, it's so much more effective to have a written transcript, whether it's in Slack, email or Jira.
Yeah, that was a brain typo on my part
It’s an extreme end of the spectrum where static, restrictive, but harder to screw up is one end, and weak, dynamic, permissive, but easy to screw up is on the other.

For what it’s good for, it’s great. I love it because you can do many things faster with it than anything else, and the immediate feedback and visual data flow aren’t matched in any language’s IDE I’ve seen. But like all systems, when they grow they need checks. Like the trope about when your code grows to too much complexity, you start needing static types.
Ah, cool. It sounds like they have a specific way they want you to avoid modifying the text at the end of the paragraph about modifying it (for version 3):

> Rather than modifying the GPL, please use the exception mechanism offered by GPL version 3.
So this might be an extreme example, but if the people running CatTalk become legally liable for the content, would they be held responsible for someone planning and carrying out a crime on their site? Because that seems like an easy law to abuse and destroy the lives of site-owners.

For example, one could post about drug deals or something in a thread that mods might not read, then hold them legally responsible for enabling drug deals on their site.
Color me confused, but where I work we are subject to two auditing companies and they don't necessarily ask the same questions but they do review what the other does.

So is that a normal process or is that only where industry regulation requires it?
Which makes sense because the catalog weighs 20 pounds.
It would make a lot of sense for a browser team to implement just the input part of the API and leave the firmware flashing part out. Or have it implemented but disabled by default, just like the access to the microphone / camera is.
I was able to load up yocto's standard VMDKs into HyperV on my windows desktop, but AWS's import tool barfed on it. I build an embedded linux and wanted to use AWS as a hypervisor for larger scaled testing. (It was fairly easy to setup a custom machine config in yocto. (Require tune-core2.inc and you're off to the races.) I use the variable overrides system to tweak build build arguments on some packages to have them stub out hardware in the virtual images.

I've found though that making your own image classes to be the most direct way of formatting your image if you need something exotic. The image classes system is kind of fun - you can keep stacking on more reusable classes that act as a kind of pipeline.

To get it working on AWS I ended up doing what I needed to do by spawning a VM with an off the shelf AMI, attaching a second disk, dd-ing my image on, and then capturing that as an AMI. (I'm kind of annoyed that I couldn't find a proper API for this, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Their import tools all want to understand things about your image and mess with it, and I just wanted to send them a flat disk image.) This process was an annoying enough slow down for testing that I ended up making an image that would boot up just enough to get networking up, then fetch the real image from S3 based on directions in user-data, over-write itself, and reboot. If going with newer AWS instance types, don't forget to include their kernel modules, and have fun debugging when it doesn't boot :)
That's good that 5.7 fixes some of the wifi issues. I actually ended up forking the driver for our particular usb wifi device and hacking whole sections of code out of it. There were some optional things that would just randomly crash the kernel (4.x).
Yes! I was surprised by the choice of the obnoxious and dull patterns from 1960's.
That is pirate morality, codified.
Pretty much every popular somewhat global sport has levels of nuance, detail, backstory that will take some investment in time and interest for you to become familiar with. If the sport doesn’t immediately draw you in, don’t feel you have to keep watching in hopes that it eventually does. This is my current thesis for global sports, especially those with an audience as large as F1’s. “There’s something they get out of it that I can’t see .. and would never see because I don’t have the time to invest in it”.

> I don't think there's much of a future for Azure DevOps.

This is just... wow.

Every Microsoft shop I've ever worked at defaults to Azure. You need a really good reason to use GCP or AWS for anything, and it's an uphill battle. They're already paying licensing fees to Microsoft, there are incentives and discounts to stay within the ecosystem. My current employer has GitHub Enterprise and we still use DevOps for a lot of stuff, especially anything that business stakeholders have to touch.
Sorry to hear it's been a frustrating experience. I'm a PM for Confluence Cloud and we're always trying to make it better. Would you be willing to share more specifics, such as:
- Pages with content X are the slowest
- Trying to do A/B/C is annoyingly slow
- etc
?
Let me guess, you don't speak anything but English? The thing is that English isn't actually that diverse. Certainly not considering how widely it is used and by how many people.

There is more variety in how my native Norwegian is spoken, and that is only spoken by 5 million people.

You also don't seem to distinguish between dialects, written forms and a language. E.g. Norwegian is a language with dozens of dialects and four written form, two of which are official. The various dialects map to one written form more closely than another.

Nothing stops English from being a language of different dialects and different written forms. The point isn't how many written forms there are but that those that exist are standardized. That is IMHO not a very hard thing. E.g. the largest area where English is natively spoken is the US. And the US has almost no variation in how the language is spoken.

Yes I know American loudly object to this but I have traveled all over the US and lived several placed. Honestly there is not much difference between how somebody in Grand Forks, North Dakota speaks and somebody in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Yes, by American standards it may sound very different. But by say Swiss standards, Norwegian standards etc not very much. Even tiny Britain has more regional variation.

One would simply create American, British, Australian etc standardized written forms, while trying to harmonize each written form as well as possible.
This is an extremely depressing statistic, but my mother has been a teacher for 10+ years.

Apparently they forecast future prison populations by...3rd grade standardized test scores :(
Based on ostensibly well-known and successful companies I know, I would say: not much, and very little of positive value.

Technical leads and senior engineers, however, seem to add a lot of positive value.
Not taking away anything from the drivers. All of them are exceptional and possibly the best on the planet.
That said, when you are racing over ~20ish races , as a team, it pretty much boils down to long term strategy and tactics.

Kevin Schwantz and Wayne Rainey were 2 epic motorcyclists in the 90s. Schwantz had more individual wins, but it was Rainey that had more championships titles, because he was more consistent in his races and made fewer mistakes (Even Schwantz admits this in an interview)

I'm not a nano defender user, never have been. I've come across it several times but never ended up trying it.

This however makes me sad. We've got a champion who is maintaining a piece of software that's quite frankly pretty core to privacy and security in today's heavily tracked world.

Obviously it's not just gorhill either. It includes the many people who have raised PRs, lowered the ticket burden of uBO, but also the many people who maintain some amazing lists. For that, all of these people have my gratitude.

The reason this makes me sad is because this is the second time things like this happen. The second time gorhill's efforts are being shat on by some random person. This was completely reckless action by jspenguin2017. It's one thing to want to make money for your efforts, it's another to want to make money from the man hours spent by the uBO and list's maintainers.

If jspenguin2017 truly means what he says in his posts and regrets his action, I hope he considers donating all of the money to gorhill & co.

I wonder why they've done so badly - clearly there's likely to be some level of political pressure at play, but the ICO is independent and can and should stand up to that as just part of the job.

I've never felt any regulatory body really had the technical skills to deliver anything it was meant to do - I really wonder if there are too many public policy and junior lawyers in the ICO, and not enough deep technical experts who can rapidly investigate, fact find, and recommend prosecution or sanctions.
I maintain server versions most of the self-hosted applications they're killing off.

One thing I like about the server versions is the ability to spin up development versions of these applications so I can test out new plugins, version updates, or complicated configuration changes without affecting our production applications.

So much for that. I guess I can skip that step and when it goes wrong in production I can be the old man who yells at "the cloud".
At least with manufacturers you know who to sue if something goes wrong. I'm pretty sure that Comma has set this all up to shed as much liability as possible since they make you flash the unit with the right software.
The current rules have made the sport a bit boring. A result of the current regulations is that the better you build your aerodynamics, the more turbulence you create behind your car, which means the harder it is for another car to follow closely behind you, which means less over taking.

It also doesn’t help that one team currently has the best car by a very significant margin. They also have the best driver, and the two teams that were closest to them have fallen further behind this season (one significantly further behind).

The midfield battles are actually still quite exciting though. Those cars are a lot closer together in terms of performance, and if anything happens to one of the top 3 drivers, you can see somebody fighting for a potentially career first podium. Which is why the TV coverage will barely cover the front of the pack in most races, because the front 3 cars typically spend the whole race driving at the end of each other dirty air without fighting each other at all.

This post is very highly subjective though. This year you have LeClerc making the Ferrari (which is widely regarded as a very bad car at the moment) actually look good, and his team mate (4 time world champion Sebastian Vettel) is making it look terrible. It’s been the same story at Red Bull with Verstappen and all of his recent team mates. You’ve also got the best and worst team running the same engine.

As a side note, Kimi is currently driving one of the worst cars on the grid, so you probably wouldn’t expect much excitement from him.

Take a look at "Database Modeling and Design: Logical Design". It covers planning relational databases in depth. I found it useful when I was first learning about SQL/relational databases.
I can't help remapping ; to : and vice-versa. Can't think of the last time I needed the default ; and sparing my pinky from having to hit shift every time I want to ;q is a game changer. Obviously, that's annoying to change in every vim install but I just have a very light .vimrc that I curl in every new box

Way too many zeptoseconds ;-)
It sounds great to me - sight reading is difficult, and frustratingly hard work too, so assistance in mastering that skill is welcome. I am without MIDI keyboard at present as I play an acoustic upright, but I will look out for an opportunity to give it a proper go.

And I might as well put in a feature idea (which I suspect would be rather tricky to implement but here goes anyway!): it would be awesome if it could take input from a mic and figure out the notes from that, so it could work with acoustic instruments too :)
Self-hosted gitlab could probably get you some variation of all of these.
The only map that I would say is an absolute improvement over the default is

Using : is a waste of a keystroke (ie. shift) in an editor that I chose specifically to reduce chorded key combos.
I meant, they're going to become MORE the drivers of success. Not saying they haven't been drivers at all, I meant their role is going to become more and more important.
I think GP is more referring to the fact that GitHub Actions et al are a better reimplementation of Azure DevOps. I suspect Azure DevOps will be deprecated in favour of GitHub.
While we had very similar experiences - only used JIRA but the performance was borderline-unusable - I've heard reputable sources say that configuration plays a tremendous role in that. I'm inclined to believe we just hadn't configured it "correctly," but the fact that you can destroy performance by casual misconfiguration is itself a pretty big issue.

I've heard the same about cloud performance, which seems to be an argument against it being simply configuration, but who really knows?
Explain the gulf in performance between the car that Verstappen is driving and Albon.
