The idea of a dying and rising god is very common for the line of near eastern religions christianity emerged from. This also means that the scholars whose texts we now have as sources were most probably accustomed to the idea. Them reiterating christian assertions thus is mostly just proof that they were accustomed to the then-prevalent belief systems.

Other traits of christian beliefs also mirror other near eastern religions. Have a look at e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism - Zoroaster is the prophet receiving commandments directly from the good god, you also have a bad god seducing people, you have heaven and hell, and where one lands after death is a result of listening to the commandments or giving in to the seductions.
> They are often used as equivalents

No, they are often (though very, very far from most often) used in reverse because people forget which is which. Even in that case they have very distinct intended meanings, and are not equivalents.

> Descriptivism is better than prescriptivism if you want to understand language as it's actually used.

Sure, but descriptivism isn't “words lose all distinct meaning if occasionally someone mixes them up” or nothing would mean anything.
Not mandatory, of course, but lots of managers love to peer pressure employees into these sorts of social events by frowning heavily on people who miss them.
vDSO functions are still allowed to use arbitrary amounts of stack though, which means Go might still have problems with them without having to allocate much larger stacks than it normally would.
I have a hypothesis. This was inevitable. Media has always been a mix of 3 types of people: Journalists, activists and glory hunters. The shift in the revenue model since the advent of social means has banished Journalists. The only ones who can bear to stay in this dying industry is those who are in it for more than money or profession. Enter activists and glory hunters.

A similar thing happened in liberal-arts academia ( and tangentially K-12 education). The slog to tenure is so horrible, that anyone who pursued critical analysis and scholarship has fled/pivoted to more rewarding industry positions. The only ones remaining are ones who care too much for the labels (Professor) or those for whom activism is a primary motivator.

Thus, institutions that cater to someone of a certain education level are quickly diverging from the expectations the said consumer has from these institutions. The activists at the institutions want to impose their dogma which is exactly what a large portion of the deserters were fleeing in the first place.

These people have been loosely referred to as 'The Grey tribe'. SSC figured this out a decade before and put in better words than I can. However, I recon there is far greater mutual resentment between the industry workers and institutional activists than is acknowledged by the media. Institutional activists hate tech, not due to moral reasons, but existential reasons. They know, that the power they wield is fickle. It is build on moral high-ground, virtue signalling and reputation. On the other hand, tech wields real power; power lend to them by money.

Why won't they fight the war in the open ? Because media is fundamentally intertwined with politics. The Democrats and Republicans have mutually alienated each other in a manner that reconciliation isn't on the horizon. Republicans win on voter turnout. Democrats rely on receiving both the captive voter (blue tribe) and most of Grey-tribe, who hate Democrats less than Republicans. An out and out moral war leaves room for Republicans to pivot towards grey-tribe favored moderation. (Unlikely, but stranger things have happened). At the end of the day, the 'prestige' media still relies on the 'prestigious'(D.C. royalty) to bestow that prestige on them. They cannot run afoul of them entirely.

IMO, the war is raging fiercer than ever. It is like two dogs who are leashed, stretching the limits of their freedom. The only reason blood hasn't been drawn, is because there are bigger masters holding the reigns (Tech - Profit motive and regulation threat. Media- Politicians and the appearance of fairness)
Welcome to the outrage economy. Its great when you're on one side but sucks when you're on the other.
Sputnik V is not a traditional method either. It is different form mRNA, but both are relatively new on the vaccine scene.

No traditional vaccine has finished phase-3 trials anywhere. Everything is something fairly new.
this is pretty cool! one thing i would want to see is the classic or 'must do' routes of the destination.
Not a furry artist but similar vein. There are genuinely a surprising number of people who are willing to pay 5 to 10x the market rate for commissions.
Any sources on that? AFAIK EU/UK/USA signed deals way before the western vaccines had any data too. Actually the Sanofi one even tanked.

most websites dont work well on small screens because of the

modern ui with all of the extra spacing

this issue affects women particularly because we have

smaller hands and so use smaller screens

its yet anther example of how tech designed for men keeps

women out of tech, a vicious cycle

material design is perpetuating internalized misogyny

edit: and of course my comment is dead thats the kind of

behavior tolerated on the angry orange site

edit 2: i am formatting this comment to a narrow width

to be more friendly to smaller screens especially those

used by women

edit 3: i now realize that my comments exclude trans women

who may have larger hands

there was no transphobic intent in my remark simply that

since trans women are a smaller segment of women women

on average have smaller hands
Any negative sides on this one? I wonder if all the others are expensive for a reason and the R-Go misses something?!?
Wayland is being treated like PulseAudio and systemd before. So, it will probably win its battle, thanks $DEITY.
I was also there. G+ was born into an environment of fear. Google leadership had convinced themselves that Facebook would dominate tech forever in every product area because all you had to do to make something successful was make it social, and boom, it won. They were over-generalising from Facebook's success in photo hosting vs Picasa, as well as a few other products.

The big fear was that Facebook would do email and it'd not be as good as Gmail but everyone would use it because it was social, that Facebook could even do maps or web search, same thing. So G+ became seen as a "save the company" hail mary move.

After some years passed Facebook rapidly reached middle age, their attempt at email sort of flopped, they didn't launch dozens of new products and the ones they did launch didn't replicate their earlier success, and the fear ebbed away. Meanwhile the G+ product managers (mostly Vic Gundotra) had burned a lot of bridges by forcing G+ into everything. Whilst Larry/Sergey/Eric were afraid of Facebook he had absolute power because they felt only G+ could save the firm. When it became clear that was an over-reaction he lost his protection and was out.
Windows not opening might be intentional. I've worked in a couple of tall buildings where the windows don't open very far. Someone told me it was so people can't jump out, though I always suspected it was so you couldn't mess up the temperature on the floor.
True, letting you access posts from before you subscribed (if that's what you mean) was unique (as far I know) to Reader.
Beside the point but if the water tank empties but the air stays dry where did the water go? You would think you could calculate at a given room temperature how much water you need to add to the air and see if the flow rate of your machine is great enough to work effectively?

Wouldn't this observation be biased? The paranoid would know socializing is still not safe, and the reckless would think "Relax, it's just a flu", and so you'd see bars full but full of the reckless.
Can this phase3 data be trusted? Is the raw data available for screening/checking, or do we have only the publication?

I mean to be fair now that Wayland and PipeWire are there it's finally starting to look like a modern OS.
It's probably a matter of semantics, but in my experience and usage, "theism" is belief in a deity/deities. "a- theism" is lack of belief in such, much in the way asexual reproduction is reproduction without the use of sex rather than "at odds with" the use of sex.

Gnosticism and agnosticism refer to knowledge or lack thereof. If I cared to use labels, I'd classify myself as an agnostic atheist. I don't claim the certainty of knowledge that there couldn't be deities, but I don't personally believe there are any (at least not in the sense of ultra-powerful entities that have/had some sort of interaction with the doings of humanity).

I'm really tired of this Wayland horseshit. If there was an actual reason for users to use it, fine, but instead it breaks forwarding and vnc and xclip, and for what exactly? Why should I upgrade?
It's the other way around

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot
I’m using a Dell UP2718Q (3840x2160, 144dpi, 60Hz) and a Fujitsu Siemens P17-2 (1024x1280, 96dpi, 75Hz) side by side, and without Wayland this setup isn’t even possible to get working properly. Sadly, KDE still doesn’t support it nicely under Wayland (so I moved to Ubuntu Budgie), but under X11 it’s entirely impossible to run it properly, as except for Qt nothing supports mixed DPI, or mixed refresh rates properly.

Once proper wide color gamut and bitdepth support is added, it’ll be even better, as the monitors are 10-bit Rec.2020 and 8-bit sRGB. Which under X11 isn’t even possible to support, as again, Xorg only sees one single screen it’s drawing on, and it’s up to the lower levels of the stack to split that.

EDIT: Answering the most common question which is asked all the time as my comment is getting some visibility here:

Now why does wayland break screenshot and keyboard tools? Because "every program is a keylogger by default and can see any event, look at the contents of any window" is a major security issue, especially as it means the entire security model of screen lockers or containerized applications is useless.

Under X11, basically every application you run can trivially escalate itself to root. As even your Zoom client can just listen to your key events when you unlock your screen or use sudo in your terminal, save your password, and tada it can elevate itself. Under X11, there is no security whatsoever, and no separation of privileges.

EDIT2: Why is sandboxing applications important? (a) more and more proprietary software is also released for linux, which you probably shouldn’t trust. And (b) if e.g. your XMPP client is compromised, you don’t want the attacker to gain root.

EDIT3: Yes, screenshot tools and screensharing still works. I can use KDE Spectacle under Budgie or Chrome, and Slack, Teams, Discord, Jitsi all work just fine. OBS requires a patch, but also works nicely. It’s not impossible, it just requires software using it to be updated.
Not at all, Stephen Hawking was a proponent of the idea, as is David Deutch, another British physicist. It has plenty of proponents, or at least those unwilling to discount it, on both sides of the Atlantic.
If it's already in a cooled data center, removing it could mean being able to fit more Minis in a rack with little downside to thermals. The aluminum case makes sense when you're not in a climate-controlled environment.
There's another way to go about it, and that is to realize that everything is purely subjective. It is no more "likely" that reality is what you think it is than that it is a simulation, dream, etc. That doesn't necessarily lead you to decide on God as the answer, but it becomes no more difficult to believe than anything else.

Thank you for the links. I have not read these before and there are some very interesting snippets of information I was unaware of.

It wasn't really mentioned in the interview but I just remembered that AdSense for feeds was a thing, however it was very poorly received and did little to solve their conundrum.
The idea is to rotate the masks, not to throw them away. You wear one then let it sit alone, without being touched, for a week or more. The next day you wear a new mask then do the same to it. A week later you can go back and wear the original mask again.

Throwing them away after 1 use would be silly. I personally have enough masks, and few enough indoors engagements, to let my N95 sit for a full month between re-uses.
Thanks for that but that was kind of my point. I don't get the argument for Pale Moon from reading this. "A browser with a large degree of freedom" - what does that mean, especially when one considers that few lines under that it says that the functionality of newer extensons cannot be guaranteed. Also it says that it's faster, but that seems like something all browsers claim. That's why I was a bit confused.
Thank you! Some arguments are just so stupid and misguided, that they don't deserve any consideration. I feel like the Wayland "truthers" are wasting their energy with absurd arguments amounting to "Everyone should use old software because I want them to!"

Usability Testing: The Ultimate Guide [Free Checklist]
No, but Wayland is not a bit of software you even think about until it goes wrong. That means the internet gets disproportionately filled with posts about Wayland not working, which presents the wrong image.

When reading up on what desktop environment to use, it's hard to get a balanced view unless there are commenters like this, saying that running Wayland works.
"..it becomes all too easy for us to slip into adversarial and exploitative framings of the human"

That is inherent in the structure of society and largely supported by worldviews in many cases unfortunately.

Personally I think that there are a couple of problems. One is with worldviews that oversimplify along the dimension of cooperative versus competitive. The second part which reinforces the first is that it's actually quite difficult to make a framework that really works without being overly competitive or cooperative or tending towards extreme centralization.

My worldview is centered on technology and so of course I think that is a key part of the solution. Money and government must become high technologies. Decentralized approaches have the potential to provide not only the freedom to evolve but the capacity to operate holistically at the same time.

I wish for once that requesting “Desktop version” on my phone would actually give me a desktop view, not the same exact mobile view. Sizing based on viewport (a “responsive design” principle that I hate) gives me hamburgerized unusable mess.

I want to be able to zoom out to see the same page features as I would see on desktop. A lot of websites USED to work this way on ios Safari before “responsive design” became a thing. Now, there’s no way to get a typical website to give you a desktop-like layout when you “zoom out” because it automatically detects your viewport and forces you to hamburger no matter that you selected “Desktop version.”

I understand why mobile view exists. It’s more comfortable to read for probably most people. But by ignoring “request desktop site” because of the hubris of “responsive design,” it means that there’s no way for you to get desktop-like functionality & experience on your phone browser. That is a reduction in functionality from the smartphone experience of 5-10 years ago on many site that’d give you a desktop-like layout if you zoomed out.

An example of this frustration is that on a forum I frequent, if the viewport is below a certain size, user avatar thumbnails are hidden and text tables of values are all reflowed to an unusable mess where before I could zoom out and get a desktop-like view where the tables (which are just fixed-width straight text, entered by forum users) could be seen clearly.

The refusal to allow some way to get a real desktop-like view in “responsive design” is user-hostile.
I'm a former Scaleway employee so take this as a informed guess:
DC4 space is divided in very small, secure rooms (which you can see in the promotional video) with space for like less than a dozen racks at a time.

They probably filled a room with mac minis and will need to fill another room/racks to provide more hw to customers.
Now that was a proper rant. I use Windows so I have no skin in the game, but that was a good read.
This is really helpful. Thanks for sharing!
It's pretty polarized in the US right now, so people will naturally lump people into the "pro-mask" camp and the "anti-mask" camp, and the latter is closely tied to a lot of anti-science views. It's an unfortunate heuristic we use a lot. You'll get it less if you provide more nuance and context, or signal that you do take things seriously. "We need to start using N95 and surgical masks because cloth masks don't work." won't get you called anti-science. (Maybe impractical, though surgical masks pretty widely available.)

To respond to your specific statement, part of the problem is that "don't work" is too blunt and not quite true. "Don't protect the wearer" might be true. "Barely protect the wearer" would be. "Don't provide strong protection for others" also true. But even a poorly fitted cloth mask is almost certainly better than nothing. (Of course, I'd also believe that they likely provide a false sense of security, leading to risk-taking that more than offsets their benefits.)

This ties in with one of my biggest frustrations of the whole pandemic, at least individual behavior: so many people's risk analysis is just sorting things into "safe" and "unsafe", rather than thinking in degrees. "Cloth masks don't work" is unhelpfuly binary and non-specific. (Though including "poorly fitting" makes it better -- "ensure proper fit" is actionable advice.)

And while efficacy of "cloth mask" vs. N95 is good to know, "cloth mask" is a super-broad category. I'll occasionally see people specify "single layer cloth masks", but the only single-layer cloth masks are gaiters, and even those are frequently folded over double.

How good is my 2- or 3-layer cloth mask? What materials should I use? (To be fair, I have seen some people answer this question.) Is it relevant that I can barely feel my breath through it or around the edges even if I blow hard? How much of a difference does fit make?

Ideally we'd all have and use good quality N95s, but we shouldn't make perfect the enemy of the good. We need information that will help us do better, rather than a binary "N95 good; everything else bad."
What is the difference between not believing in a higher power and claiming no higher power exists?
