Perhaps this is an important step, but my understanding is that a large share of early-onset dementia is suspected to be caused by head injuries more minor than diagnosable concussions.

If we find that conclusively to be the case, this kind of test could in fact be more dangerous than no test at all, as athletes (both adults and children) are cleared to continue play after getting "dinged" but not testing positive with a field-side assay such as the one discussed here.

I've always believed that while adults may be able to make their own decisions about risk, children certainly don't have the capacity to choose between looking cool/tough in the moment, having significant cognitive/memory issues in your 30s like my old friend did [0], or worse.

Athletes and parents should continue to be concerned.

I think it's fair. GCC made their decision many years ago. Even this email is 6 years old. Why post it now? Methinks because it fits a narrative that RMS is an ineffective leader that wouldn't know a good decision if it landed on his face.

SQLite obviously. Probably some other projects in the Tcl and SQLite world.
Ahh, the (apparently?) lost art of command line voodoo. This was type of "write once, read never again" culture. Perl was a similar guy in this family, and if you really got good at it, you could of course read again these gems and produce them, too.

This is quite a different culture then "young folks" [TM] who write a unit-tested nodejs library with tons of dependencies to do the same ;-)

Of course I'm exaggerating, but there's some wisedom in these onliners, or Perl5 with it's sigils.
Not sure if this is related to all the progress made with testing for COVID (are these both PCR tests?), however it makes me wonder if COVID will lead to the next industrial revolution. I suspect feedback from and eventually alteration of DNA/mRNA will be used to prevent disease, then ageing and then eventually enhance human cognition and other abilities like growing human machine interfaces on the skin...
I understood Apple choose and funded LLVM explicitly because they wanted to decrease their dependency on GPL-licensed software. If LLVM moved under the FSF-flag, that funding would presumably dry up, or Apple would fork LLVM. I don't see the alternative universe happening.

Besides, GCC fell a bit asleep once until EGCS kicked them awake, and again until LLVM appeared. A bit of competition seems healthy to keep everyone awake, and having both projects managed by the same organisation is a risk here. To be clear, GCC is and stays a great product and LLVM probably needs GCC as much as the other way around.
It sounds like you've got a bee in your bonnet about terminology. Surely there's one entity that decides how to route the tour. If so, who does it? If not, how does it work?

I think you're conflating twoo things as well. Retailers don't like high denomination notes because they're more likely to be forgeries (getting change from a low value purchase with a high denomination note is a simple way to launder forged notes)

Governments don't like them because of tax evasion (though they'll call it "anti money laundering because not all upstanding citizens are entirely averse to a spot of cash-in-hand money laundering).

I presume there's just enough demand from business (where using high denomination notes for high value B2B transactions has very low transaction costs) that they still print them, but I would be surprised if they're still around in a decade.

This is the most beautiful and useful tool I never used !

Dorik has many cool templates for total designs or just blocks so as to help you to start, not from scratch.

The result is excellent with good performance and nice design.

The pricing is perfect for starters and the team behind the tool is efficient and very kind.

I totally recommend it, and I am waiting for the blog feature (Yes, they have a beautiful public roadmap too...)

Thanks
住民基本台帳収録変体仮名 (jūmin kihon daichō shūroku hentaigana, or Jūki-gana for short) is the character set specifically made for the administrative purposes of those local government registrars. I don't know what the actual computer system used there is based on, but it looks like Tron Code and Super Kanji support the character set.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Juki-Gana

The thing about hentaigana is that it's more or less an open set. I don't think there is the standard set of hentaigana that scholars agree upon. At a quick glance, juki-gana does not seem to be identical to Unicode's hentaigana set (https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1B000.pdf), although I'm sure the intersection is non-empty.

Thanks for that, I hadn't truly grasped the concept of supply and demand until you so clearly summed up macro economics.

To just fill you in, Coffee growers grow coffee because the cost of growing coffee is less than the local wholesale price (most of the time.) It is possible to subsist on the profits of growing coffee(depending on where you are).

The price per TB being charged to the consumer is $48 a year. which is significantly less than the initial setup cost to become a data host. (pi + sd card + hdd) That's before we get to the opex of paying for an ISP, (and any bandwidth overages) plus power and general maintenance.

Thats assuming that the company is selling at the price it pays the "hosts". I'm assuming they have some ambition for profitability.

which leads me back to the original statement: you're reliant on a bunch of randomers Who didn't really think about the economics subsidising this company.
People are focusing on the "liberal software" part but boy is the article full of dismissiveness of the real concerns of people who care about freedom and social justice where it connects with software. "Software vendors won’t usually be inserting spyware into their wares." Are you sure about that? It sounds like someone has been selectively reading the news for the last decade or so, somehow the author skipped the Snowden leaks and if you need something more recent, the controversy around Zoom.

This is a terrible document that is riddled with so many inaccuracies that it doesn't convince anyone other than the uninformed. If anything, the last few years have highlighted the need for Free Software and proved many of the alarmist warnings of advocates were prescient actually and not so alarmist.
I will look at your suggestion for upstreaming, thank you.

So you can see the ITP packaging request here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982250

The debian-on-mobile team is aware of it, but even they have been commenting that getting upstream mmsd will take time. One has suggested to change the bug for a request for sponsor. It sounds like I need to do that.
I can attest to this anxiety. There is always this question of what will happen if the update is botched and it bricks my system. This is why I consciously stay slim on the host OS (I have used Fedora in the past, and am now using Arch), and run almost all of my applications via Docker from a local container repository. The /home/username directory is backed up rigorously in the internal network so as to cover my ass if an update bricks my computer. As paranoid as I am to go through this, I am yet to need that backup because of a botched update ;-) The only times I reached out to backup were "I deleted this, but I shouldn't have..." scenarios.

The same paranoia applies to my MacBook Pro as well that was provided by work. All user generated content gets backed up regularly to aid recovery if things go north.

Indeed, in Dutch we have "Vrij" (Libre, free as in freedom) and "Gratis" (a term I sometimes see used on international fora as well, meaning free, as in beer). Since English does not have this distinction Libre was used. I never ever associated it with Liberal.
It almost certainly involves Article V, but likely not in the trivial "amend Article V to change the 2/3 supermajority to propose an amendment to a simple majority and eliminate the requirement for 3/4 of states to ratify" sense. That would never actually be ratified as states would be loathe to give up their power.

My guess is it would first involve the creation of a considerable number of new states under Article IV and then proceed to amend Article V as above by enlisting the newly created states. The part I can't quite explain is how those states get created without dividing an existing state which requires the consent of that state's legislature.

Edit: Really, the more that I think about it, the ability of Congress to create new states by simple legislative action (so long as the territory does not come from existing states) IS almost certainly the loophole. Every new state, no matter how small, gets 1 Congressman and 2 Senators. Create enough, and you control both houses of Congress. Since the EC vote is determined by number of Congressmen + the number of Senators by state, you'd also control the Presidency. Since the number of SCOTUS justices can be changed by simple legislation, you'd now control all 3 branches of government. At that point, using Article V to amend Article V just becomes the final icing on the cake.

Edit 2: DC is not a state, and so would not be subject to Article IV constraints on making new states from existing ones. Article I Section 8 gives Congress complete jurisdiction over DC. Reserve a portion of DC as the US Capital, divide the remainder into 150 new states. I think I just found Gödel's Loophole. Or maybe I'm just "a nerd trying to solve law" as someone else posted, that's entirely possible.
Could somebody explain this? It looks to me that IR35 is changing against "disguised employment" specifically to get more income tax by declaring more people to be employees.
You're mistaken about the root cause. So say the Indian government decide that enough is enough, they offer a repatriation scheme for Indian nationals based in Oman, so that whoever needs consular assistance to return home has all that they need. We have solved the root cause!

But wait, there are still buildings needing constructed in Muscat and there are not enough local people willing to be worked long hours for poor pay. So these Omani companies begin to step up recruiting in Bangladesh and now those workers start getting treated exactly as poorly as they were before.

So did we identify and solve the root cause? No, we just shuffled around the nationality who was being abused. In an ideal world everyone who needs consular assistance can get it wherever they are based, but the root cause here is abusive employment practices, do not try to pretend otherwise.

I disagree. I don't want to go to multiple sources for the same reasons I don't want 20 different on-demand video streaming subscriptions.

The difference is, content exclusives are normalized now, so Amazon Prime Video, Disney, or whoever can try to entice me away with the content I like. Argos is not going to get exclusive rights to supply a certain product, so everything will always be on Amazon and I'm unlikely to leave. Did you even have problems with prime? I'm highly skeptical that Argos offers a better service.

I'm inclined to think of Argos as generally stodgy, just from a superficial point of view. Maybe they've changed, but it means I'm unlikely to give them a shot. I'm just reminded of their terrible in-store experience: painfully leafing through the catalogue, typing the SKU into their spongy/sticky keypad, waiting around to pay, waiting around again to collect.

On the other hand, I have good experiences with Amazon. I know what will happen if something goes wrong--they will do right by me, generally. Same with Deliveroo. I know how it works for every order, regardless of where I order from. Switching that to a separate consideration for every restaurant is mental overhead I don't want to deal with.
A journalist in Slovakia did a comparison of current weekly deaths vs extreme values for 2000-2019:

https://dennikn.sk/2304197/prehliadli-sme-mozno-az-styritisi... - the grey dotted dash line is the extreme values for the last 2 decades, red line is the current deaths, black dotted dash line is the threshold of standard deviation.

The most extreme value in the last 2 decades was 1411 deaths per week, last week of 2020 had 2059 deaths per week.
The FSF isn’t a mathematical enterprise dropping out nuggets of code whose value is unquestionable, like pure mathematical truths - it’s a lobbying organization. And for a lobbying organization both 1) credibility and 2) having supportable goals matter.

If you believe there is value in campaigning for increased freedom for users of software, then you might benefit from the FSF having concrete campaign goals and the ability to be taken seriously.

Inviting RMS back to the board does not help them in that regard.

Your ability to benefit from the software produced by RMS has no dependency on his being elevated to a seat on the board of an organization whose opinion might be sought, say, if congress were debating laws mandating access to source code of voting machines.

For hundreds of years police could just nicely ask a third party to turn over all your data - by simply going in and asking what they wanted to know - and proprietors often just did tell all they knew or had recorded. If the third party would refuse and police would demand that they comply, then they'd need a warrant, but nicely asking has always been an option during an investigation.
There's https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/, a fork of Clementine, apparently created due to Clementine's inactivity. I've used it on and off on MacOS, but had some nasty locks which crashed the application.

But speaking of Clementine: I'm amazed that development seems to have picked up again, commits are happening on Github ( https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine)
Last time I checked the repo it was silent.
Yes, the GPL is deliberately more restrictive. Put briefly, it’s designed to prevent someone from taking your software and releasing it under a license more restrictive than the GPL itself.

It enforces the right to run the software, study it, distribute changed versions, and benefit from other people’s changes.

With the MIT license, anyone can take the software you wrote, change it to add features, wrap it up in a fancy package, and sell it without source code access. You wouldn’t be able to even run the new version without buying a copy.

Stallman has been explaining this for nearly forty years. He even wrote a book about it.

You should always question what is "common knowledge" especially when it comes to emotional issues where prejudice is rampant.
Completely agree, but did not flag, since the discussion is great and inspiring.

You don't need to do a thorough code review to benefit from the source code: the Chrome/Chromium web browser allows the user to load unpacked extensions directly from any folder.

So simply git clone the extension, have a quick look at the recently opened (and closed) issues/PRs for any red flags, git checkout the most recent tag, and load it as unpacked.

Then you are guaranteed to have the source code of exactly the extension you're running, and have done a reasonable amount due diligence for malware.

And if you're interested at any point in the future you can do a code review.

It's a simple strategy. Here's an example: https://github.com/igrigorik/videospeed
> I disagree with the conclusion that with a bit of work AI could take down the best Geoguessrs. The best players already take into account all the metadata like camera quality and distinctive features of the Google car.

Isn’t this exactly what an AI might do even better, though? There might be statistical variations in image quality between cameras and processing that are imperceptible to a human but easy for machine learning to pick up?
Thank you for your work btw. It is much appreciated! And I plan on building apps myself in the future. But since I want to use Rust with GTK it is a bit hard to get everything fit together as a GTK-newbie (including glade).
Maybe I had an unusual experience, but while in London I never once got a Deliveroo order correctly. Items missing, order forgotten, double charges, et cetera.

The cream on top of it all was their lack of phone or chat support. Instead, one emails an address that auto replies with a “we will get back to you within three business days” message. Not helpful when I’m trying to eat tonight!
I never figured out the equivalent for NYU. My guess is they segregate their professorial and graduate flaneurs.
> For instance, the German constitution ("Grundgesetz") has an eternity clause in it that makes it unconstitutional to remove the basic principles in Articles 1 and 20.

It is unconstitutional, by the old constitution standards', but the new regime can just ignore it and call it a day (we're talking about a fascist takeover here).

> paragraph 4 in the German constitution states: " All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order if no other remedy is available."

that's cute, but do you think it would change anything if Myanmar's constitution had included such clause? Do you think it would stop the military from shooting protestors?

Laws, and constitutions, are useful, but in the end: politics is about power, not laws.

to all the Stallman supporters - sure he's a genius and sure, he created the FSF, but how can you advocate for someone to be in a very public leadership position, anywhere when they hold and publicise such deplorable and potentially harmful views on topics such as rape, misogyny and paedophilia? This isn't about freedom of speech, this is about avoiding setting a public example that these things are ok, which they absolutely are not.
>Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't think most people who buy a Linux phone actually want a Linux phone. They want an open-source phone.

That's true, but to some degree. I'm OK with LineageOS, wouldn't care if that has Linux or BSD. As long as I can switch distro, reinstall and do not lose warranty or permanently damage bootloader.
This might be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully it will force us to really examine our work culture, and begin to challenge this notion that 40+ hours a week of our lives should be devoted to work (unless of course, you're working that many hours voluntarily on something you love).
>For most 20-30yo, the 9-5 lifestyle is absolutely expected to be there for the next 30 years.

I would be very careful making any claim going as far as the next 30 years, given what has happened in the last 2 years, let alone in the last century. If that wasn't enough to convince my fellow 20-30yos, nothing's going to shake them awake to how volatile life can be.
I use it for most of my projects, with git covering the rest of them. I prefer the cli usage, philosophy, single binary / single file repository, and having all the notes/issues transfer across when I push makes it easier to develop and test across windows/linux/bsd. Autosync and other things are well-thought out details too; generally feels well designed. Otherwise, day to day usage isn't much different.

I think the level of assistance offered to the number of people who need it, the cost of it and the extent to which the country needs the jobs for its citizens, and working conditions in the country itsef are all factors. I think "does not care" might be a less-than-charitable interpretation.

Significantly being repatriated without a job and no money back to the UK and India are not like for like. Even if the assistance is technically there it doesn't mean that it is equivalent.
