I am not suggesting that online, self-serve shouldn't exist. I am not even suggesting that we shouldn't encourage them. I am merely pointing out that we can't implement those _first_ at what will inevitably be the expense of in-person services where needed.

Bitbar-esque tools are fantastic. There are a wide variety on Linux, watching with slightly different formatting, but converting isn't a big pain. Being able to toss something together to display a portion of a curl call in a few minutes is great.

I think people who think China can be contained are being naive. As an academic, I am extremely impressed with the improvement in scientific publications in CS out of China of late. In 10 years, they are now killing it on a consistent basis (personal anecdote: a paper from Tsinghua or Shanghai Jiao Tong on average is as good as one from Berkeley, Stanford or MIT). I have a feeling it has to do with the reality that Chinese nationals (or people with some ethnic/language connection) are an integral part of cutting edge science globally. It is extremely do-able to entice these individuals back. Western countries have severely under invested in research .. even back when I got my PhD (like a decade ago), my job packages were far superior in Asia (not just China) than in the West.

I think in 5G, some top level planners in the West have realized the error of their ways, and are investing heavily in basic research. I think it is too late.
That'd be super great if you could let me know how it goes, I'm tempted to make the same jump. Thanks!
I hate, hate, hate when online forms do this. I almost accidentally bought a $500 gift card yesterday while trying to buy a $5.00 one because this exact same thing happened.

It would have been nice to have a notice pop up when they dropped the decimal, the same way so many forms do for the "invalid character" in my last name. (But I have no strong feelings on the subject whatsoever.)

In the US, I was in a government office a few days ago because I was told that if instead of uploaded documents via a website and waiting 10-45 days to have them reviewed I could go into a local office and provide these documents and they would review them on-site.

So I set off on a 35 minute drive to the local office.

While the wait times were shorter in the physical building I had to chuckle when I thought they were just collecting documents and uploading them to the same online portal I was warned would take a fair bit of time, but that I needed to allow a few more days past the 45 day limit because they fax them into the same remote place periodically. Their email system for the document collecting office does not allow email attachment of documents.

My other option, I kid you not, was to used their "house" cell phone and login to sensitive accounts, bank ect. And screenshot the information and use the same web-form to upload said documents.

Oh, and covid, I could not touch the "house" cellphone but he would wanted me to write my logins in a piece of scratch paper and he could navigate for me based on my direction.

In fact, in recent years a slippery slope has been entered, particularly with the decision of the Hoge Raad (21 April 2020) that euthanasia can be legal if a declaration has been made in writing, but the patient resists at the actual fulfilling of the request.

Also, political party D'66 is now pushing for the right for someone to end their life if they consider it "completed", without there being any serious suffering.

Note that not only the christian parties, but also the Socialist Party is very critical about broadening the criteria for euthanasia.
Yeah its just like advertising. Not doing it means leaving money on the table...
this is a relatively new phenomenon; in the past we had a lot more benevolent and faith based organizations that we've displaced with government services. Far less people a active members of churches and nobody joins the elks, shriners, knights of columbus, etc. anymore that I know. We're also far more transient and have moved to big cities in huge numbers. None of these things encourage the community and connectivity that caring for each other demands.

Actually it went over fine [1]. Rust support in the Linux kernel however is still very nascent, & only suitable for drivers. The reason is that rustc only supports the more popular systems (hence drivers for that system are suitable). There's work ongoing to expand the utility of Rust in the kernel on multiple fronts, but for something like this that's built on all platforms, it might take longer. ASN.1 & other crypto format parsers are ripe for being rewritten in Rust & no one would really blink an eye I think (provided the other pieces of support are available to support all the architectures Linux does).

The pronunciation used in schools for didactic purposes has only a modest relationship to authentic historical pronunciation. Pronouncing eta as [i] is an influence from modern Greek - in ancient times it was [ɛː], as described by the author (and as used in my secondary school Ancient Greek class - when we switched teacher to one who pronounced it [i], he conformed to our standard rather than vice versa). The bLogicarian has an article [1] which goes into more detail with some recordings, or you can pick up a copy of Vox Graeca by W. Sidney Allen.

>To fairly implement what you suggest, twitter must make a rule that political personalities must post political content while in office on a dedicated "world leader" handle

I struggle to see a problem with this. A political personality making political statements should do so from an account representing the office, for instance, @POTUS. That account should belong to the office, not the individual. Maybe state and corporate accounts should be treated differently than personal accounts.
The argument in the article for gradual change sounded reasonable to me. Just moving a process online is at least a first step.

We're trying to prevent the data from being created and collected in the first place. Data is abundant after it's been created. Once it's in a database it's a lost cause.
> clearly systemic in nature

It's surprising to me how many people believe this. Are there systemic problems? Sure. Is the only solution to solve these? I hope not. I think some would like to convince the world that this is required. I'd love to see some good, practical, options that have been tried and have been successful, but so far capitalism appears to be the one that involves the least death/suffering.

Having been involved in charities, and having witnessed the destruction that a well meaning government program can bring, I'm not sure that even if charity is making it easier for governments to shirk their responsibilities that it would really be a bad thing. That's not coming from the position of "Big Government Bad(tm)" but rather a practical one -- at least as far as America is concerned, most of the money comes from Washington and it doesn't come without strings attached. It is the least efficient way to pay for something, and they are operating in a vacuum of information.

A (local) charity is in the community and knows what the community needs. The money is spent very efficiently, and there's not much of it to spend. They get taken advantage of less frequently, as well. Even injecting government into that situation breaks it. Once a large amount of money is a potential outcome, criminal activity is not far behind -- you see small organizations getting formed out of larger ones, spending 90% of donations on administration (spending all of that money on the appearance of being the right, small, charity ... because the real ones don't have the budget for lobbiests).
Nah, fuck that.

"Be a free speech platform" means nothing by itself. It's a sentence without meaning. It communicates no ideas – because we all already like the idea of free speech, and the challenge is to understand what that means in a modern context.

(Of course, underneath all that, it's a dogwhistle. We all know what "free speech platform" means, because it's what Parler called itself. I'm doing the parent the justice of assuming they weren't deliberately using a tired dogwhistle phrase.)

Oh, absolutely. And that's one of the plot's redeeming features in my eyes. But it's a long stretch to get from the lovesick princeling to the ruthless, sinister usurper.

At the start of the movie, Hans is naive and/or willing to capitalise on Anna's naiveté, but there is no indication whatsoever that he is actively evil. And as the OP showed, there would have been ample opportunities for the scriptwriter to foreshadow any such negative side to his character; and there would have been much better opportunities for Hans to carry out his evil plans.

> I think it'd be harder to do that with Haiku in modern times

Probably, but maybe not for the reasons you would think...

> so I had a credible "Works" style office suite (GoBe Productive)

Haiku has a LibreOffice port.

> a good text editor (Pe),

Pe is still around, or you can use Koder (a new Haiku-native app), Notepadqq, GVim, Kate, ...

> a good GUI mail client (Mail-It)

We have a few mail clients; the native one is alright but could use some work; there is also Trojita and some others like it.

> a surprisingly good object/bitmap hybrid graphics editor kind of like the old Macromedia Fireworks (e-Picture)

e-Picture has gone the way of the dodo (though you probably can still use it on 32-bit Haiku which has BeOS binary compatibility.) You can instead use WonderBrush (a native application), Krita, etc.

It's doubtful that this one guy is a registered charity. As a private individual you can't just claim your expenses and actions as a deduction.

The song in the position of the Villain Song is "Let It Go". Which is quite remarkable.

The ways that Frozen breaks the expected beats make it a lot of fun -- the "twist" is genuinely unexpected because the story isn't following the tropes. But those tropes exist for a reason, and Frozen feels a little disjointed for failing to follow them.

You feel tricked because you were tricked. And yet it works, if for no other reason than the way a magic trick is fun. It has strong performances, great animation, and a positive message about the power of sisterhood.

Your statement:

> It turns out, the central argument put forth in Dijkstra's paper is that the 'goto' statement messes up the stack trace.

Didn't sit right with my recollection so I reread it, it's brief so I recommend others take the time to read it themselves (I think it's one of those short and easy texts that the vast majority people have heard of and reference without ever having read, so be the change and read it if you haven't).

His central thesis is laid out in paragraphs two and three, with the rest being an attempt at explaining why the go to statement creates problems and his suggested improvement:

> My first remark is that, although the programmer's activity ends when he has constructed a correct program, the process taking place under control of his program is the true subject matter of his activity, for it is this process that has to accomplish the desired effect; it is this process that in its dynamic behavior has to satisfy the desired specifications. Yet, once the program has been made, the "making' of the corresponding process is delegated to the machine.

> My second remark is that our intellectual powers are rather geared to master static relations and that our powers to visualize processes evolving in time are relatively poorly developed. For that reason we should do (as wise programmers aware of our limitations) our utmost to shorten the conceptual gap between the static program and the dynamic process, to make the correspondence between the program (spread out in text space) and the process (spread out in time) as trivial as possible.

In summary, shortening the semantic distance between the static representation and the dynamic execution improves our ability to understand that dynamic execution. And that is critical because it's the actual thing we, as programmers, are producing.
I see short writes pretty regularly under memory pressure. For writes well under 2GB. With io_uring there are extremely common (but got less so in very recent kernel versions). For different reasons for direct and buffered IO IIRC.
This approach is likely to produce better experiences if it could be seen through to the end, but also likely to go nowhere inside a large organization.

Change is hard. Radical change, all at once inside a big organization is near impossible.

In this case, it’s a great first step to get all this info out of paper and wooden inboxes and into a more accessible form.

Doing so still leaves open the potential for reinventing high-priority forms and workflows. It also makes it easier, because now the team can easily ask questions like, “how many people use this?” And “how much time do we spend on this?” Etc.

In short, while you might be right wrt. producing innovation, sometimes the first step is to just put it on the internet.

Maybe, maybe not. A claim like that is definitely in the realm of "people think race condition bugs are solved by switching to Rust". I don't know Rust well enough to evaluate your claim but that feels like an incorrect statement - sharing data between threads should be as easy as wrapping something in Arc & Mutex to get similar semantics I think.

Even if that particular bug is actually harder to stumble into, there's no guarantee the space of thread synchronization issues one might stumble into is inherently smaller for Rust than for Ruby, so all you're doing is exchanging one class of failure modes for another.

Olaf was added because they got Josh Gad and needed a funny man role.

Gad would have just finished up with BoM when they started doing voice recordings for frozen. Knowing nothing about the background, I'd bet gad was a pretty late addition to the cast.

Knowing Disney, they are trying to make Gad the new Robin Williams. If you look for the advertising around Frozen there is a TON of focus on Olaf even though his role is really minor in the first movie.

Same thing happened with Aladdin and the Genie.
The DNT header got abused and sent by default, which gave companies the excuse that it wasn’t actually conveying a user selection, thus wasn’t reflective of their actual choice to avoid tracking. So it goes.
Very true. For 99% of cases I would guess they're dealing with expats who didn't get a check or have a question about medicare coverage.

The example they give of an emergency is "a 12 year old needs to have a social security number issued". I think social security numbers are issued at birth now, so I don't think it comes up often. (Coincidentally I did need to have mine issued very quickly at 12)

But, to OP's point, there are services that are indeed moving to "online only".
