Thinking keeps me awake. It's getting worse as I get older.

Maybe it's anxiety or something related, and sometimes it's worried thoughts, but often it's just running through scenarios. Video games, media plots, what I need to do next week. My brain is far more active after 10pm, and I am personally more motivated. I get a burst of energy but it's not really the right time to clean the house so lying in bed has it all go to my head.

I've come to the conclusion I can't sleep with an active train of thought going on. It sounds like meditation should help but I haven't had much luck there. Maybe I just need to try more often until it becomes second nature.
It did. Torvalds had (has?) a lot of pull in dev circles, he's a sort of archetypal Dev Evangelist. Though I agree Github was the main reason. They polished the git experience and then promoted their platform a ton, which brought git with it.
If only we paid artists from a generous public support of the arts instead of making them scrimp and appeal to rich people or get pennies from individual streamers we could do away with copyright and such filters completely.

Musicians would be paid fairly and culture would flourish from not being confined by private entities that buy up the rights to how people express themselves.
You don't have to compete with hosted systems that have dedicated teams of developers and operations shipping features though. Linus Torvalds manages the development of the entire Linux kernel (millions of lines of code, thousands of contributors) with just an email client, text editor, and git CLI.

I will say too don't expect these hosted services to free you of operations burden. On the contrary you're even less connected and more at risk of operations burdens when these hosted services are facing issues. When Github actions CI/CD is acting up, or the hubot issue manager isn't working, or the release artifact store doesn't have the bits you expect, etc. your entire project grinds to a halt and it's not easy (by design) to eject out and work around them. Projects that depend heavily on all these hosted services are going to find over time that they need to buffer and insulate themselves from these centralized, single points of failure. It's just a different kind of operations burden.
Not just Apple, but also any video-game console manufacturer.

There are justifiable reasons to limit users' ability to modify firmware. Piracy prevention is one. Also warranty. Users might run modified software that breaks the vehicle, then restore OEM software. A potential compromise might be to release keys, but cancel warranty for customers to opt to do so.
I don't think anyone said it was impossible for people to get together on their own, so I'm not sure how most of your objections track. These are just reasons people might prefer to have semi-official gatherings.

But would ReactOS be a best approach in this case?

I think that for the long term, Wine is a superior solution, as it can use all the nice modern features of Linux kernel, and can easily co-exist with modern aoftware. The only feature that ReactOS has and Wine does not is windows device drivers - and QusesOS does not need those.
Michael Goldhaber: Cassandra of the Internet Age
If your phone has an FM radio, sure. However Internet radio doesn’t offer the same broadcast exemptions that traditional radio does, so you still need to deal with licensing when it comes to playing internet radio in public.

Now on one hand, every day people will find this absurd. However, I am pretty sure it is not a defense that it’s not enforced evenly in all circumstances. A lot of people go 5mph over the speed limit without consequences; means nothing if you’re in court for it.

However, if you are acting in bad faith, you can expect people to become more creative with their use of the law against you. The police do this all the time.

And I really, really don’t think we need to argue that the police officer here just really wanted to share his taste in music while being uncooperative and has no idea what’s going on.

P.S.: IANAL.
That's ridiculous - in the US, at least, our failure to contain the virus was clearly due more to a substantial portion of the population not wanting to contain it (and this ambivalence being correctly reflected in the government's actions) than any failure of governance.

Of course, these people were a minority, but that just leads to the question of the appropriate protection of minority rights in a democracy, to which there is no obviously correct answer.
Ok, but again, there is nothing stopping people from doing this as a group. There is no "magical" structure that comes from a work meeting. A group of people at work can decide to organize something on there own. You are talking about one-on-one stuff, which is different.
I would argue that allowing multiple cycles is superior because it dramatically increases the possible number of cases you're randomly choosing from.
The practical problem is that backwards compatibility and making real improvements to the language are fundamentally at odds. There's just no way around it. If you can't break compatibility, you can't make meaningful improvements except for adding features and capabilities—and most of the problems in this article are about things that need to be taken away, not things that need to be added!

> There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

My old boss used to say this thought terminating cliche whenever I encountered a problem with PHP. It's a rather useless form of binary thinking, since it completely ignores scale and severity.

It's similar to statements like "all politicians are bad", which put the likes of Nick Clegg in the same bag as, say, Pol Pot. It's counter-productive to any meaningful discussion.
You've sorta captured my distaste for ORMs. I'm good at sets and relational algebra. Anything ORM interface that isn't RA is a leaky abstraction, and eventually I just have to go around it.

Being there is not always the same as success. Harley for example is seen as overpriced extremely bad quality by almost all bikers outside the US, except maybe by the few who own a Harley. Pretty much the same as Jack Daniels, except that is at least as cheap as it tastes.
It's not a public performance if a cop or anyone else is playing music for themselves.

It's ridiculously obvious, otherwise, literally anything with a speaker would practically be banned.

tl;dr: the certificate was requested in 2010 and an email challenge was sent at that time, but the validation URL wasn't clicked until last week, and the certificate was allowed to be issued because of a misconfigured linter.
This sounds like an indictment of git. It was supposed to make it easier for OSS developers to collaborate, but it turns out that you become bound to a monopoly like Microsoft. Why can't git users develop an easy to maintain server, like svn and fossil did, for example?
> Why would you run Android on an old underpowered SoC if you can buy a new Android phone with much better specs for the same price or cheaper locally, with much easier to attain warranty and better delivery times?

The absence of proprietary blobs running on the main CPU alone is already a great deal. This also means that the phone isn't stuck on an old version of Android because of some nasty blob.
From the cursory glance I've given the topic I think most platforms make the files available publicly (e.g. through IPFS).
There are three changes I would make to the DMCA:

1. All DMCA notices must contain an analysis of fair use and explain why the content does not meet fair use.

2. Anyone who has received an improper notice (including an analysis of fair use that would not survive summary judgement) can countersue (or sue, if the copyright owner declines to bring suit after a counter-notice) for at least $1000 in statutory damages.

3. Any non-DMCA system that can take down user-generated material for alleged copyright violations must give users the same rights as the DMCA: the (new) mandatory analysis of fair use and the right to counter-notice (and host the content until it is determined in court). These rights cannot be waived by contract.
It was implying you could use the str.format function as argument to other computations, something you cannot do with f-strings.
I'd be very interested in what those upgrade paths are. Most of the large established manufacturers I have visited still operate on a de-facto job-shop mentality with either printed job sheets or whiteboards at each station or with each parts batch, occasionally dedicated screens or a mobile job-tracking solution. Experienced machinists I've interviewed recently have cursed the inefficacy of manufacturing management systems provided by major vendors. I read the literature and attend shows, right now the market to me looks like a dogs breakfast of largely vendor-linked but some independent solutions with all the lock-in concerns associated. I am therefore defaulting to NIH and build-from-scratch but keen to hear of others' experience!
I used Haxe full time for several years for web development (even started a startup with it!)

It predated Typescript, so at the time the killer feature was being able to write type-safe JavaScript, and being able to share code with a backend which is potentially another language (like PHP).

These days I’m at a company with a lot of TS, and too many other languages (Elm, Ruby, Kotlin, Elixir...) so we’re not looking to add something like Haxe, but I often still miss the expressive type system, the really nice language server integrations, having the multiple output targets so it’s the same language everywhere, and the type safe macro system.

So I often use Haxe for hobby projects still, but then I miss things from the JS ecosystem. You have access to NPM but there’s no equivalent project to DefinitelyTyped. Some of the tools integrate well (webpack as an example), some don’t (Jest). React works, but the way JSX works doesn’t integrate as nicely with the language server. Etc

I also missed some modern es6 syntax. Haxe finally got arrow functions in v4. The thing I’m excited by in this release is module level fields - previously everything had to be in a class, now they don’t. Haxe was already good for writing functional style code. Now when you read the source code it’ll look like it and not have the “class” keyword when you don’t need it.

> I've tried to explain to a lot of people the amount of influence and control that the monarch actually holds. I'm not sure that this is such a bad thing.

She used her powers to get an exemption from transparency laws with regards to her personal wealth: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/07/revealed-que..., and Charles did the same to ban his tenants from purchasing freeholds: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/09/prince-charl....

This constitutional corruption of our laws by the most privileged family in Britain is indeed a bad thing, and one of the many reasons why the monarchy should be abolished.

Also, every member of the royal family should be stripped of their wealth and exiled.
One oft-overlooked aspect of NFTs is their scarcity and authenticity by virtue of license rights. For instance, NBATopShot moments are desirable because they are licensed by the NBA. So if you were to clone great basketball moments and create an alternate, it would neither be authentic nor legal.

In the US the above is not correct.

Excerpts from: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/you-have-first-amendme....

> You have a First Amendment right to record the police. Federal courts and the Justice Department have recognized the right of individuals to record the police. Although the Supreme Court has not squarely ruled on the issue, there is a long line of First Amendment case law from the high court that supports the right to record the police. And federal appellate courts in the First, Third, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits have directly upheld this right. EFF has advocated for this right in many amicus briefs.

> The right to record the police unequivocally includes the right to take pictures and record video. There is an added legal wrinkle when recording audio—whether with or without video. Some police officers have argued that recording audio without their consent violates wiretap laws. Courts have generally rejected this argument. The Seventh Circuit, for example, held that the Illinois wiretap statute violated the First Amendment as applied to audio recording on-duty police officers.

> There are two kinds of wiretaps laws: those that require “all parties” to a conversation to consent to audio recording (12 states), and those that only require “one party” to consent (38 states, the District of Columbia, and the federal statute). Thus, if you’re in a one-party consent state, and you’re involved in an incident with the police (that is, you’re a party to the conversation) and you want to record audio of that interaction, you are the one party consenting to the recording and you don’t also need the officer’s consent. If you’re in an all-party consent state, and your cell phone or recording device is in plain view, your open audio recording puts the officer on notice and thus their consent might be implied.

> Additionally, wiretap laws in both all-party consent states and one-party consent states typically only prohibit audio recording of private conversations—that is, when the parties to the conversation have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Police officers exercising their official duties in public do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy. Neither do civilians in public places who speak to police officers in a manner audible to passersby. Thus, if you’re a bystander and want to audio record an officer’s interaction with another person in a public space, regardless of whether you’re in a state with an all-party or one-party consent wiretap statute, you may audio record the encounter.

These are ridiculous arguments, essentially implying that 'playing the radio for yourself' is copyright violation.

Well known in the NodeJS community perhaps - outside of that?
In that case, Clojure, ClojureScript, and Babashka ( https://github.com/babashka/ ) is perhaps the best set of options for you. This are three implementations of the same language.

Otherwise, and especially if you want to use C library interop, I'd suggest Racket. Racket is also relatively close to Clojure in philosophy.

My previous manager was non technical, my current manager is an ex-developer, it makes things a bit simpler to have an ex-developer as manager but it isn't 'that' different, it just meant that before I had to simplify the description of the issues, which is a good thing anyway (most of the time).

But fortunately, the overall community including the vast majority of people involved in packaging and distributing Open Source software agree with them, and in a lot of ways they do own the term and they do get to tell people what they can do with it.

You can go argue with every major Linux distro, the Homebrew devs, package managers, and most key Open Source advocates if you want. Get them to change their definitions and the software they accept, and then maybe you'll have a point.

But in the meantime, you shouldn't be surprised when the community lashes out at you for appropriating decades of PR and public education just because you don't like that the definition we've always used to describe ourselves doesn't fit a particular business model. OSI/GNU have authority on this subject because we the community grant them authority. We're not interested in people coming in and leeching off the goodwill of Open Source while simultaneously restricting users' rights.

We are as a community guarding our terminology because our terms have value, and OSI is the standardized, commonly understood definition that we have advocated for. If you want to call that gatekeeping, I don't care. I don't want Open Source to be like the "organic" aisle at the grocery store, I want it to mean something specific.
The Queen/GG were probably taking into account a very similar situation in Australia known as "The Dismissal" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional...

Considering how controversial this is 50 years later I'd say they did a good job in Canada to be as apolitical as possible, because sacking a sitting Prime Minister is definitely picking a side.
> I wouldn't be surprised if the Guardian has a week of damaging headline from this.

Indeed. Apparently they are releasing this as a series. I am very curious to see what they have next. Though I have no idea about how actually damaging this would be for the royal family.
Ouch, that's indeed pretty bad. I do expect `not_found = status` (that's how pattern matching works in several other languages), but it should be in its own scope, so that `not_found` is still `404` outside of the `match` block!
You and I have very different ideas of what the word ‘proof’ means. I have no doubt this is how it looks to you. From where I sit, we have theism and a lot of nebulous thought experiments that gel with the way religious minds already think, and atheism which is simply the default until the day God decides to grace us with a press conference.
It is a rather poor sample, and a sign that either more people than those 87 should be allowed to vote or there is something wrong with how the vote was conducted.

An explicit "do not care" or "none of the above" option in that poll would have shed more light into this.

Sometimes you just want to quote something in a string real quick. In some cases you want to do something slightly more complicated.

And I really dislike format where the arguments are given by position. For short strings it's not going to matter but for long strings you're bound to mess something up sometime. Just imagine writing some kind of long email template and ending up with something like:

'''Dear {}{}

I write you on the {} to inform you...

Kind Regards,
{}'''.format('Mr. ', 'President', '1st of April', 'Ohio', '12', ..., 'Automated mail bot')

Okay it's a bit contrived but any long multiline formatted string is going to be hard to read without using keywords.

And once you insist things are named then f-strings look a lot neater since you get:

f'gcd({a}, {b}) = {math.gcd(a, b)}'

v.s.

f'gcd({a}, {b}) = {gcd_a_b}'.format(a=a,b=b,gcd_a_b=math.gcd(a, b))

Of course sometimes a template is the appropriate tool, but usually because it's going to be used more than once.
