Why haven't FBI analysts done the same already?

This is pretty easy. They are a law enforcement agency. The Zodiac killer was active over 40 years ago and is likely dead of old age. Solving this will not prevent a crime or further any of the FBI's other missions (https://www.fbi.gov/about/mission). It's a great feat, but the capability to do an analysis like this wasn't as generally available when it would have been useful, and now it's just a historical curiosity.

Congratulations to Dr. Blake.
while the article is factually incorrect when claiming that Spanish has no neutral gender at all.

It's also true that "lo" is seldom used in Spanish and there are almost no neutral nouns (like in german).
At what point does a chip stop being ARM and become AMD?

Cortex series are pretty potent for commodity chips. Now Apple does have their completely different cores that just happen to use ARM instruction set, but I think most fabless are not focused on the cores themselves.
This is a classic scenario that Linux also faced. Some people might be too young to remember, but a lot of services used to rely on Internet Explorer 6- and ActiveX when there was no chance whatsoever of getting those running properly on Linux. Later we had issues with DRM for streaming sites, which have probably not been fully solved yet.

The truth is that service and app developers only care about one thing: audience size, which translates to actual money. And it takes a long time to build that audience, even more so in the mobile world where all metrics are orders of magnitude bigger than on the desktop. Until Linux phones can show they have sizeable audiences, developers will ignore them. Tens of thousands is nothing, we’ll need millions. Realistically, this is not going to change in 12 months or even 2 years.

But, something can be done in the meantime: making all popular app-development frameworks run on mobile Linux, and then putting pressure on developers to produce app builds. When portability comes essentially for free, it becomes easy to support an additional platform just for the brownie points.
Are the populations of humans that don't have this problem (e.g. the Amish)? Seems like it would be a good clue if we're poisoning ourselves.

We shouldn’t support the killer by indulging in his psychotic delusions of grandeur. I believe this work is immoral.
Reddit without a shred of doubt has hosted and continues to host illegal content too. I bet you'd find a goldmine of illegal content if you scanned the smaller subs.

You're right about accusations though. It seems that accusation alone is the key factor in whether you remain on AWS. Doesn't aspire confidence in AWS, does it.
Thank god! I couldn't believe that they were sooking over a 600mbps connection. 600 kbps is a lot lot worse, and worth complaining about.

There is no rule in Latin that 1st declension nouns (i.e most nouns ending in -a) like nauta, pirata, pirata, etc must be feminine —- morphology and gender are independent. There was merely a strong tendency for them to be feminine, but as you can see there are exceptions. In short, -a does not mean feminine.

Another factor is that all three of those nouns are loanwords from Ancient Greek, which had quite a few 1st declension nouns that are masculine. Agricola (“farmer”) is an example of a native Latin masculine noun ending in -a.

You are right that occupational words that were typically associated with men tend to be masculine. Generally, nouns that describe people do match the gender of the person, though there are some exceptions.

Note: you’ll also find some -o nouns in Italian and Spanish that are feminine (e.g. la mano “the hand”).
What makes you assume that they don't exercise, play an instrument, etc?

And why is it on the intelligent to "do less thinking" instead of the world to understand that they can't think on the same level?

We don't ask those with extreme physical gifts to sell themselves short in order to accommodate those less gifted. We don't ask those with virtuoso talents to "do less creativity".

Why must those with extreme intellectual gifts "think less"?

That does them and the world a disservice. Why can't we accept them as we accept every other category of people.
> I'd expect many candidates to think that you actually want them to generate all the permutations and then get bogged down in recursion.

Ideally the candidate should realize that this is computationally infeasible and quickly come up with a much more efficient solution, right? Perhaps they believe that this question filters out people who 1) don't have a feel for what is computationally feasible 2) will just dive into coding without spending 10 seconds to see if there's a significant optimization.
Old-fashioned tariffs used to be one way to do that.
> Sounds like linux to me!

Here we go again. App developers now have to 'define' support for a distribution target and test each of them to show it is actually 'supported' and not showing 'experimental support'.

Fantastic news for the technical consumer and the whole open-source crowd, Not so good for the app developers who need to test their apps on these numerous distros and bewildering for general users looking at this technical contraption that is likely not to have the same apps on their old phones.

If they want to solve this like it or not, supporting the Flutter ecosystem sounds like a good idea.

If it gets in the way of things and is harder to use than the alternatives, then no thanks and no deal. There is more things to consider than just 'open-source' or the 'free software' argument.
If I give you $100, and we mark it on a stick, and then split it and give me the longer one, and then I throw away my half and split a new one that says you owe me $200, how do we resolve it when the halves come together and don't match? I say you made a new half-stick, and you say I did.

Both parties in a contract can have an incentive to lie.
No explanation, but Spanish has some similar things with the -ista suffix (e.g., jornalista = journalist, Zapatista = follower of Zapata, etc.).

In Latin, those nouns are grammatically feminine and would be referred to with feminine pronouns and modified with feminine adjectives. There are a handful of first-declension names that take masculine pronouns and adjectives, none of which spring to mind at the moment.
I'm not working with any therapist as of now. The methods and techniques are from books and research papers which are currently offline and manual. I'm building a app around it which would have measuring and analysis features.

I will improve the landing page details to explain the app in depth.

The evaluation session is just diagnose if you're suffering from any negative distortion such as depression or anger. And I agree it's not of much use as of now. I'll launch more features and therapy techniques which follow the evaluation.

Thanks for the feedback.

Wow, I just don’t get this article.

If the author does not like GPL, FSF, etc., why don’t they just not participate in GPL and FSF matters. Why not let people choose what they like?

What do I like? I like diversity, all kinds of wonderfully different people, many types of software licenses, different cultures, etc. I would not tell anyone what kind of software license to use in the same way I would not tell someone who to vote for. The world is a better place when we embrace things and people different from our own tastes and selves.

I would have enjoyed the article more if the author had been brief in their criticisms, spending more time on their ideas about how they would license software and organize large public and proprietary projects.

EDIT: I should have also said that I enjoyed the article.

it’s empirical skepticism, not a bold take.

even if you can get the math to line up with reality in this instance, at the very least an epidemiological model isn’t going to tell you why, with any certainty.

your reasonings are about why something should work to buttress your beliefs, but you haven’t yet enumerated why any alternative explanation (especially the simpler ones) should or shouldn’t work. that would differentiate your reasoning from popular zealotry.

the term ‘science’ has lost meaning in popular/political discussions because it tries to elide uncertainty in just this way.
Btw, the way to get it to a clipboard is not exactly cmd-shift-ctrl 3. It’s cmd-shift 3 in order to enable screenshotting and when you end, if you have ctrl active then it puts it on your clipboard.

Of course they don't. The people who bullied me didn't argument that either, but the end result was the same. We are attacked because we are weird. Which is sad. Software development was a safe haven for all the weird people who wouldn't fit elsewhere. But then the neurotypical arrived, and they didn't like our weirdness. So we are being bullied out of software development.

According to this, most vaccines are as you describe:

"There are two main types of immunity you can achieve with vaccines. One is so-called 'effective' immunity, which can prevent a pathogen from causing serious disease, but can't stop it from entering the body or making more copies of itself. The other is 'sterilising immunity', which can thwart infections entirely, and even prevent asymptomatic cases. The latter is the aspiration of all vaccine research, but *surprisingly rarely achieved*." https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210203-why-vaccinated-people-may-still-be-able-to-spread-covid-19

Side note—I wonder if these scientists were inspired by Spider-Man (1962):

"Nearly 40 years ago it was observed that sterilizing immunity against [Malaria] could be achieved by exposing human volunteers to the bites of irradiated mosquitoes carrying sporozoites in their salivary glands." https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/sterilizing-immunity
I must have hundreds of Reading List entries on this iPad. Surely they are not cached!
The comparison of H.264 and H.265 in this article doesn't make any sense. Lossy codecs can make files almost arbitrarily small at the expanse of quality. You should look at both quality and size; size alone doesn't mean anything.

Also H.264 and H.265 are just formats; there are many encoders of varying quality which can generate such files and each encoder has tons of settings. I don't know which encoder macOS uses but ffmpeg includes state-of-the-art H.264 encoder (x264). Simply reencoding video from H.264 to H.264 using ffmpeg can give you better quality/size ratio than the original file.

> H.264 codec (or MPEG-4 Part 10), once upon a time know in the scene as DIVX.

No, DivX refers to MPEG-4 Part 2 which is a completely different codec.

Well, it also depends where in the US you come from.

H.264 would be able to take advantage of the same non-changing/static in the hands of a compressionist. Realtime encoding is always subpar compared to that due to the trade-offs required. What this is telling me is that the default settings of the OS screen capture are not optimized. To be expected though, as they have no idea what you may be attempting to encode so a safe setting that is less efficient on static images but performs reasonably well for higher action would be acceptable.

> When you give China a machine, it's only a matter of time before they reverse engineer it and make something slightly worse but much cheaper

> This kind of theft

You called what they did “reverse engineering.” But then you next called it theft.

Why?

Reverse Engineering is not theft. It’s a follower route, where you build the same thing that someone else had built. You don’t even need their blueprints. You can just work off of their output, and work backwards.

One famous reverse engineering company was Compaq, which reverse engineered the IBM PC, with the nod from Microsoft to make their own PC compatible clone. Was this also theft? And was this also a crime in your worldview?

Another example is the atomic bomb. Once America proved that a nuclear fission bomb was possible, then it was only a matter of time before another country reproduced it.

FWIW, I did a mini-study a while back about the different possible syntaxes. It turns out there's more than meets the eye wrt what control flow structures need to do, and there are also DX reasons why the dedicated syntax might be more desirable: when you consider all permutations of loop flavors - w/ else clauses, keyed, exposing index, etc - the DSL consistently came out on top in terms of succinctness and readability (for an average developer familiar w/ algol-like syntax).

There are also technical reasons why `svelte.each` would be problematic, namely the fact that it is a compile-time concept which does not necessarily compile correctly if you move the call into a library, unless you have an extremely sophisticated compiler (aka: a slow compiler)
>Pettit includes no discussion of nature at all: he is only interested in people dominating people. To me, this misses a fundamental truth about the human condition.

This is probably because nature is nature - it is a fundamental fact of human existence, where as "human nature" in terms of social relations between producers and owners in society is not a fact of nature, and over the course of human history, has seen many forms. We're talking about sociology, not about biology. While biology certainly gets a look-in via, say, evopsych, that's not the main concern of the article, or the author's point. The idea that nature is itself dominating assumes a conception of nature in which nature oppresses, rather than creates us. The idea that 'nature' itself is oppressive is a Hobbesian tale that has not fared well in philosophy and the social sciences.

Hurricanes are oppressive, sure; but we can't change that fact. Maybe we should focus on what we can change, and investigating the limits of what we can change. Meteorologists and physicists have safely ruled out the idea that we can get rid of hurricanes.
Dutch in colloquial language, masculine and feminine are merged to the common gender

Danish and Swedish are both common/neuter

Norwegian depends on the dialect. The dialects with more Danish influence may drop the feminine (or they may use masculine adjectives/determiners with feminine nouns), but certain words will still more commonly be used with feminine determiners, even if it might be OK to use masculine. E.g., 'boka mi' ('my book') and 'kona mi' ('my wife') is more idiomatic than 'boken min' and 'konen min' (I'm not a native speaker, so I can't be entirely certain about this).

Price controls don't work, except for short term periods.... when you have a temporary disruption of few weeks (for an earthquake, weather, etc).

In long term famine, food that is price controlled disappears from shelves and almost never makes, and is resold in black markets at 3x the price (or whatever the market is).

Wouldn't you say the Freemium model is a successful business model for many? Or there are free software but we can do extra for you like Automatic/Wordfence etc. Ad driven 'free' software is quite common place. Also 'goodwill' supported.

Not saying its not challenging for many free software services but there are business models around 'free'.

Yeah, figuring out the Debian process can be a pain. More often than not, Debian is just a 'middle man' for the code. So for modemmanager see https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/modemmanager and note the maintainer(s) listed on the right side of the page. Sometimes the package maintainer is also a developer of the upstream code. However, often the maintainer will just be repackaging the upstream code (also listed on the right side of the page) so for new features you would need to get the upstream to incorporate it which would result in the package maintainer automatically incorporating it when they rebase/merge the latest changes. I'm not familiar with modemmanager so the main 'trick' is figuring out who does what for that package. (i.e. is the maintainer an active developer or just more passively repackaging it?)

The issue right now is that Debian maintainers are all pretty busy trying to nail down Bullseye as they're currently in their hard freeze[1] period... lots of bugs and dependency problems to deal with to get to release.

My suggestion would be to wait until Bullseye is released and then contact the maintainer and see if you need to be dealing with them or upstream to get your changes in. If you're impatient, you might have more luck contacting upstream directly right now. Either way, the odds of getting new features in for Bullseye are likely slim to none right now.
