I find people not wearing masks much more alarming than people not wearing them. I am much more alarmed at the prospect of mass death than people wearing jaunty masks.
You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who disagrees on the issue of consent. The following is what I replied to though, and is unrelated to consent:

>The user on the other hand gets no benefits, the society gets no benefits, and those who benefit are random people whose motives are unclear.

This is blatantly false. In this thread alone there are multiple people who have stated they find benefit through targeted ads.
I'm very pro-mask but cases are skyrocketing everywhere, even in countries like France and Italy where masking is the norm. I don't presume to know how to fix the issue, but virologist knew this was going to happen -- it is called seasonal forcing[1]. It's disturbing to me that there are people in the US that dont believe COVID-19 is real (I think you can blame the administration for that), but I'm not sure the spikes are surprising.

I wrote a note on configuration file formats, trying to take a long view and to consider the choice of format in light of empowering user-authors. I advocate for a flexible approach leveraging “configurationless”, Dhall, or bespoke DSLs, depending on the circumstance.

I think I probably omitted some key considerations and options, but it did help us clarify our thinking on the subject at Informal.

I'd welcome any criticism or additional considerations.
Definitely an oversight. I'll fix it right away.

one could imagine a story told from the daughters point of view where the black characters were more active. That's the criticism GP is leveling

I understood their point perfectly, and I'm saying it's wrong. Racism doesn't only have to be described from black people's perspective, and complaining about how there aren't enough central black roles in a story about a young privileged girl learning about racism isn't productive.
There is a difference between saying, Mrs. Jones has a bad yeast infection and there are many yeast infections this time of year. The one is giving patient information the other is discussing the disease.
I've never worked for Twitter, my guess is their business idea is "Well, Snapchat has it, Instagram/WhatsApp/Facebook have copied it, we should also offer it.".

I returned to browsing Twitter more after the election, and IMO it hasn't changed, it's just a place to get your dopamine hit when you see a tweet you agree with get traction, or for some adrenaline when you read something supremely idiotic. I thought about replying to 1 or 2 tweets, but geez, will anyone read it, will it change anyone's mind?
I'm curious, which natural right does a temporary mask mandate violate?
I suppose it depends on your definition of self-funding (or possibly of "largely"): the Foundation receives roughly half its total income from the Corporation, in the form of license fees for trademarks. Of course both figures are drops in the bucket compared to the Corporation's revenue. I don't know if that "half and half" nature is coincidence, an internal directive, or necessary to maintain their tax-exempt status, but it's pretty consistent.

For-profit entities can, of course, lobby and sit on standards bodies just fine. We certainly see plenty of that behavior from the other vendors.

I'm not saying the Foundation is worthless or that people shouldn't donate to it, just that they should know what they're paying for and what they're not.
> He owns a license for Photoshop 6

Uh, I'm guessing you mean CS6 rather than Photoshop 6, the program that came out in 2000.

In any case, Adobe's help page[1] currently reads, "As Creative Suite 6 is no longer sold or supported, platform or language exchanges are not available for it." Since they're certainly not selling or supporting versions older than CS6, it's unlikely your friend is going be able to keep Photoshop CS6 by buying a new PC laptop. (And he sure as hell ain't gonna be able to get a copy of Photoshop 6 to run on Windows 10.)

> Apple is one of the most capitalistic companies out there, they want you to buy new stuff and they'll try everything they can to force users to upgrade sooner or later

That's not wrong, but s/Apple/Adobe and the sentiment is still true. I suppose he'll save money if he gets a cheaper-than-Apple PC laptop, but I don't think he's gonna avoid paying for Creative Cloud.

Do general tracking blockers and mainstream lists block GTM though? I use a massive combined listed on a pi-hole so not sure which one it comes from. Just curious as there are, theoretically, non-invasive, non-ad tracking use cases for GTM.
I would argue that Java and C# completely succeeded. Who is out there writing Desktop applications or web services in pure C anymore?

C++ too to a lesser extent. I work on spacecraft flight software, and there's a significant push to move from pure C to modern C++.

No single language is going to (or wants to IMO) replace C in every single use case, but replacing C in specific use cases has been a huge boon for productivity.
Well, that is a particularly complicated example. I actually shipped my first Rust code just a couple months ago and it rarely used lifetimes. There is definitely a learning curve, but that true of any language. Rust's insistence on safety makes it less forgiving than other languages, but I think that's a plus. We have enough unsafe languages already, and we're paying the price for it now.

Here's a representative example of the code I wrote. This bit is outputting stuff to a file in some binary format: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/proton_5.13/med...

E: If you want to take another stab, the way I learned Rust was the book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ Actually type out every code example, it will help your fingers learn the "feel" of the language, and give you an opportunity to break things on purpose to test your understanding. Learning something new is always a challenge, but I really do like Rust and think it's worth the trouble.
I'd be curious to see a study on whether pet-parentship has some of the same chemical effects. Oxytocin obviously comes into it, and since having a dog I've found myself developing certain parental instincts.

I love your characterization of the Republican party as just honest people who get censored by the big bad censoring Democrats.

Let's take this election for example. Republican leaders and officials have jumped on the misinformation train and are now peddling unfounded claims of election and voter fraud. Twitter keeps suppressing those tweets and tagging them as fake, this in turn makes the Republicans mad because they can't spread what they see as reality.

Ignoring the fact that Republicans are the source of most of the misinformation you see online right now might make it seem like they are being censored, but in reality it's just cleaning up what can only be described as dishonest, anti-democratic and delusional lying.
No matter where you are there will be some fraction of people who are children about it. I'm in Boston and friends have had people yell in their faces about how they're stupid for worrying about it (home depot) and I've personally had people drive by and feel the need to bother shouting out their window about how my mask is gay.

To be fair, my mask has lovely periwinkle patterns and I am gay, but that's a lot of effort they're putting into getting attention and obviously comes from deep seated issues with their own masculinity that aren't my problem.

Nonetheless they have been the exception rather than the rule, so it may be good to assume the best unless someone is actually accosting you.

I've noticed there is a strong tendency for people to assume that a stranger's gaze is antagonistic when in reality they barely register you are there.

It is hard to not be extra sensitive to these things when you are a minority, I guess honestly a lot of people are learning what that feels like for the first time.
What a disgrace. Republicans and Democrats are basically arguing over the specifics of content moderation by these social media companies. Republicans think the moderation goes too far or is politically biased while Democrats argue the moderation doesn't go far enough and want dissent they call "disinformation" removed from social media. Lindsey Graham at multiple points indulged in McCarthyite questioning about the political beliefs of Twitter and Facebook employees.

All the while, Section 230 is being held hostage even though it has absolutely nothing to do with the content moderation these companies currently perform. Few in elected office seem to have much regard for the 1st Amendment. At this point there's clear bipartisan support for curtailing the Section 230 protections that make these discussions possible.
> While the world is screaming about either censorship or misinformation issues with Twitter

The world isn't screaming either of those things, just some individuals living in a political bubble. Most of Twitters millions of users think Twitter is mostly fine.

Darcs has a great UX. Please to use and still powerful. It inspired some small parts of the Git UX like the `--patch` mode for `git commit`.

The author of Darcs, David Roundy realized that Git was going to dominate so started a "best of both worlds" project that used the storage format of Git but the UX of darcs. That was called `iolaus` and never really launched as a usable project before was abandoned:

https://github.com/droundy/iolaus

That's still my preference for what a rethink of the Git UX should be.

By this point I've learned many of the pain points of Git. By having experienced Darcs, it's frustrating to teach Git to newcomers knowing the experience and ease of use could be so much better.

Leading to the question of whether "understanding" is the responsibility of the speaker or the listener.

In a world where every other fact is contended, it's unlikely there will be agreement about that either.
I had exactly the same experience driving from Baltimore to Seattle this June.

There were a good amount of masks in Pennsylvania, but in Ohio and Indiana it was as if pandemic didn't exist. Hotel employees didn't understand my reluctance to squeeze into a small space to pick up a to-go breakfast, and made snarky comments along the lines of "am I far enough for you sir?"

Madison, WI was much better, but starting from La Crosse all the way through Minnesota and North Dakota plains it was as if you were living in a different reality.
Maybe there should be an app that turns your Hemingway-style text into corporate-talk. eg "now" -> "at this point in time". "use" -> "utilize". "what it does" -> "functionality"
I think this is more of a nudge to Slack and Discord (and certain others) to make their Mac apps based on their iPad apps instead of Electron. And for some games to add keyboard support.

And once they do, others will follow. Except Google or Facebook, which will remain website-only because their whole businesses is based on ad networks across the web.

I don't think iOS apps that have poor UX on the Mac will be allowed in the Mac App Store long term.
I do like sr.ht but I find it to be a bit tricky to reason about. I'd like to see it evolve for sure. The developer is super friendly and responsive too.

Rust has the ability to expose a C API. So, I don't see it as a non-starter.

It's just that no one bothered to expose it.

Perhaps he was referring to something more physical as in her body being unspoiled. But I totally agree with you, nobody forces people to have children and the ones who have them by accident and hate it afterwards is clear they have not reached a maturity level or preparedness for being a parent and there's nothing wrong with it at all, people have choices. But ones who consider children spoils or as curses or burdens or thieves of their unmitigated freedoms they used to have prior, it's probably for the better to never have children for they would be neglected or maltreated one way or another.
Ambition leads people to med school, med school brainwashes people into the sense of duty thing, and then the first ten years of clinical practice unravel that into a jaded spiral of misanthropy (but by that point you're sill paying off interest on that 100k debt, so what else are you going to do?).

Oh, I see what you mean. I was thinking about the case where you're painting something completely different than the semantic information but I guess that's rare.

You're right, in HTML you have to fall back to elements without accessibility features pretty quickly if you wanna customize a native component. There are some features that one can use to restore accessibility like ARIA but yeah, it's not great.
Colorblind people would be a good target market. Two people in my family are colorblind, and picking out things that match can be a challenge for them.
I don't think it matters. They get good margins on all their hardware. Some people will still need the pro hardware or can just switch, and then switch again when the 16" has ARM.

IMO, the Mac Mini is the most peculiar purchase of the recent M1 upgrades as normally the tradeoff to the stationary form factor means much better performance; but here the M1 Mini has similar performance with the M1 Macbook Pro.

No, I'm claiming that a document should not be treated as signed if it has not been signed. And drawing attention to (not "claiming") the fact that attaching^Whaving some third party such as Google attach a piece of networking metadata to it, does not constitute signing.
It's part of the Git release. Maybe your distro split this optional part out into a separate package, try installing `git-gui`.
Much of it is due to private gatherings without masks, gyms, and maybe bars and restaurants.

From what I can tell (I'm just staying home), people maybe did backyard gatherings when it was nice enough out, but moved indoors and that's gotten a lot of people sick.

It's odd isn't it because if they invested a little bit in Catalina and Rosetta they could probably have had a great backwards compatibility story even in a few years time - but it's just not in the DNA I guess.
None of these systems seem to have on-die memory. Not sure about the XBS, but from the official teardown the PS5 doesn't even use on-package memory: https://www.gamereactor.eu/media/87/_3278703.png

This article does that. Here it might be more often than the author would normally do, but I've seen things like that non-ironically.

"So the surge and issues the comminuties up there are facing don't surprise me in the least."

So only communities like that had issues, the others were fine? If so, why don't people just stick to their mask wearing communities and let other people live as they please?

Except I don't think it is true, many mask wearing communities and countries still have high rates of infections.

I find this really ridiculous, everytime somebody who is critical of the panic catches Covid19, there is the finger pointing and blaming. Meanwhile, most deaths happened in completely different ways, like governors making it spread in nursing homes.

Well, it depends

The Renault Zoe EV and Tesla Model 3 have the same price.

The Renault Zoe is very low end compared to a Tesla, what make them cost the same?

An EV includes technology that is very costly and even a middle end car ends up costing like a base offer in a higher segment (because the Zoe EV is the premium offer in their segment)

You can't get any lower than that

A Zoe with an ICE engine costs in fact 10k less.

The same exact car.

There is no equivalent for Tesla, Tesla does not make cars in that segment and even if they could, they won't do it.

Said in other words: a low end Mac costs and has specs of a high end machine

Highly castrated from the manufacturer (only 16GB of RAM tops?) but definitely not low end, not even for Apple

It's their base offer for the high end segment

Which is very different from saying it's a low end machine.

Their aren't low end, they are simply not premium (there isn't going to be a big difference in performances between the two, only a different positioning, equipment and less artificial limitations from the manufacturer)

They are like AMD K6 CPUs that you could overclock using a pencil

The conclusions of this review support the idea that the specs of the Mac mini are not far from what we could expect from the pro models

> In the new Macbook Pro, we expect the M1 to showcase similar, if not identical performance to what we’ve seen on the new Mac mini

This article demonstrates that the federal government does not (and should not) have the power to act in this manner. CNN found a single law professor who stated this:

I think another shock here is that a lot of people discredited the ability of ARM cpus as well.

Back when the iPad Pro with the A10X came out, Apple claimed it was faster than half of all Laptops sold and people in the PC space were yamming on and on about how numbers don't show how much better x86 cpus are at 'desktop stuff' and that ARM cpus can't equal x86, even with the same thermal envelope and shouldn't ever be compared.
Ironically, many are now stating that the reason why they are so good is because of ARM, which isn't true either lol.

The people in attendance have the personal responsibility to associate themselves and their actions with movements that reflect their beliefs. "Boo hoo, I didn't know the KKK was racist when I joined" is not a defense that folks will treat with any sympathy. Even if it wasn't their intention, they still messed up, and that onus remains on their head.

Either way you look at it, those "fine people" are not fine -- they propped up white supremacists, culminating in the brazen murder of an innocent, non-violent counter-protestor and the random assault of numerous others. Even if they didn't know, their actions contributed to that, and they are to blame as are the outspoken racists. What you are saying is, "those people had the privilege to join that march and support those sentiments because they are not threatened by what the march explicitly represents." This is an inherently racist mode of interacting with the world, because it opens avenues for racist violence and oppression, and emboldens more outspoken racists to commit atrocities.

Again, intention matters little when lives are at stake. Your argument enables the banality of evil to persist.
