Because the arguments are bad.

It’s not “the science” it’s the arguments. Throughout this pandemic “science” as authority has argued masks don’t work, or that they only work for healthcare workers, or that second order effects make it worse, or that it’s not spread via the air, etc.

The school arguments are similarly dumb. In an enclosed poorly ventilated space the disease will spread and infect parents at home.

I don’t buy that schools are somehow magic places not affected by this. Just because kids don’t have severe cases often doesn’t mean they don’t transmit the disease.

Unless there’s a compelling mechanism that suggests otherwise I put “schools are safe to open” alongside “masks don’t work” in the group of dumb arguments that don’t make sense when you think about it for ten seconds.

Also, various grains are considered essential elements of national security and are stockpiled and protected like many other resources.

It’s ludicrous to think that just because there is more global trade all governments have given up on their own interests and are just subject to the wills of “globalism”.
Yes I did misunderstand and that may work to get around the NX restriction being per process it would probably be a significant change to the JIT architecture in order for it to work out of process. This also would probably have security implications since it looks like old MS Edge did this for mitigation and Google found possible exploits: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2018/05/bypassing-mit...
Yeah, though PinePhone has chosen manjaro + kde as their default moving forward. I’m guessing that’ll improve the polish for that specific combination of software, and they’ll hit critical mass. After that, having more diversity of choices would be nice, but there needs to be one working option first.

Hopefully they won’t repeatedly change their minds before then, like openmoko did.

>I’d be willing to pay for a Linux distro (and have donated in the past), but, in their pursuit of user lock-in and/or profit, Ubuntu and RedHat are increasingly hostile toward desktop users.

It's almost certainly profit. They have a sizable user base but not a lot of good ways of getting money out of them. I would say it's a direct example of the major unsolved problem I was talking about. This is not to condone what they did, as I found the Ubuntu advertisements particularly egregious.
Presumably difficult to make a material that can focus them?
That’s only because of a _different_ distortion in the market . Both of them were created by the government in the name of helping people, but it should be fairly clear that all they really do is hurt the very poorest people.

I certainly agree that it would be nicer if everyone could live in as nice a house as they wanted, located in as nice a place as possible, and if they could always eat all the food they wanted without regard for prices. We should aim as much as possible to build our world along those lines. But we must also recognize that it will only happen once we’ve built a Dyson swarm so that we have enough energy that it can be given away, and we’ve developed actual Star–Trek–style replicators (using nanotechnology, most likely, rather than teleportation) that produce as much food as people want without consuming any time or effort on the logistics of growing, preparing, shipping, and preserving food. But most everyone would still want to live in the big city, so land prices would still be a factor.

On the other hand, with a growing Dyson swarm we can start making as many O’Neil cylinders as people want. Even so, there will always be some places that are popular and crowded, and others that are almost empty and peaceful.

Even in novels like the Culture series, where free energy and free living space abound, there is still scarcity and economics. You might have heard of a really great place to live on the other side of the galaxy, but do you really want to pay the price of moving there? Sure, you wouldn’t have to buy any property there, or pay someone to move your stuff (in these books anyone can just hop on the next passing space ship and make their way to wherever they want to go, because those ships can house millions or billions of people.) But you would still have to pay the cost of the travel time, potentially years of it. You would eventually lose contact with the friends you have, and the place you grew up. All of these things are scarce, and it will cost you some or all of them to move across the galaxy. It would be nice to live in a civilization where those were the only costs, but it’s important to recognize that we haven’t built it yet. We can’t just legislate that people are not allowed to be poor until after we’ve eliminated the scarcity of physical goods.
> The article notes that proto-indo-european only had animate and inanimate and that is not the same as gender. Animate here is "alive". A human and a tree are animate but a rock is inanimate. Rocks (outside of Terry Pratchett books do not procreate).

Baseless speculation: I think I can see how gender might develop out of this paradigm. Far as I remember, there's the sky father and earth mother, and the sky impregnates the earth to create life. The animate/active is associated with the masculine, and the inanimate/passive with the feminine.

I've read a little about alchemy and the various ways one might determine the elemental nature of a thing, and this process was much more involved than one might expect, leading to a variety of interesting conclusions. I can imagine something similar behind the genders of things, at least at the beginning.

So I'm a Vue developer who hasn't ever actually built anything in Svelte, but Svelte uses a really cool model that's completely different from Vue and React. Where Vue/React use a virtual DOM, Svelte is compiled to essentially vanilla JS. Instead of having render functions that fully replace a component, Svelte updates just the parts of the DOM that need to be updated. Because of the dramatically reduced overhead, pretty much any UI should run more efficiently under Svelte.

I'm still a big fan of the developer experience Vue provides and I'm locked into a framework for my work projects so I won't be switching those over any time soon, but I've been meaning to try out Svelte for a personal project some time.

You can absolutely use linux without writing your own code. You might find the experience frustrating if you don't enjoy, or don't have time for, tinkering with your computer a lot though.

There are rough edges, there are dozens of distros, dynamic linking is popular even when it makes no sense which causes lots of programs to not work until you track down the right dependencies etc.

On the other hand Linux can be allright for people who don't do anything interesting, who just use firefox all day, that works fine in linux.

We really need a Church Commission 2.0, but I fear that won't happen.
C++ always felt like C with the whole kitchen sink, the plumbing system, the neighbourhood sewer system and the county water treatment system thrown in.

Whereas D always felt like an actual evolution of C. D always seems like it fell into a weird place. It's too high level for C people and too low level for higher level programmers. It also had that weird history of starting closed source and only opening after they'd missed the bus so to speak.

Personally, i wish things would have been different. I wish people were posting silly comment memes about too many D related posts on hn rather than rust or golang ones.

The tools D offers and its general philosophy just fits with the way I think about programming. It gives you every tool you need or could want, without getting all Perl on you, gives you the freedom to choose your programming paradigm without imposing one on you, stops you from shooting yourself in the face, but still lets you shoot yourself in the foot if your really, really want to and you tell it to explicitly allow you to.

It's always felt like just a programming language where you can get whatever you want done, in whatever way you sent without hassle...maybe someday...if the community and grew to the point of bigger more popular languages.

I've always felt it to be underrated and for some reason one of those languages people seem to have a strong opinion about, even if they don't know much about it, but in a subtle way where it doesn't get mentioned unless someone brings it up.
The movement away from machinery that you can't fix is underway. You find evidence for that by watching auctions of farm equipment. Some auctions are dominated by John Deere machines, many of them nearly new.

When older equipment from other manufacturers is available at auction, the prices for it have been rising steadily.

I have been looking for a Massey Ferguson tractor myself for about a year. I just need a parts tractor so it doesn't need to be running. Last year, I had several opportunities to buy what I needed for less than $1000. Today, since auctions are mostly online now due to Covid, it is more difficult to get the one you want since there is usually a lag in the audio from the auctioneer. This has cost me several opportunities and in addition a similar parts tractor has been selling for $1500 or more. That is for a tractor that doesn't run and needs work and parts and...

Well maintained equipment is bringing a premium this year too. I think people want to have control over their own fates and you lose that when you risk the success of your operation on the availability of a trained factory tech to diagnose and correct software issues.

Mahindra is playing it correctly by advertising the ease of maintenance for their new models.
> They went to extensive lengths to set up complex filtering to suppress linking any information about this employee's background.

Except they didn't.

They turned on the same bots that they'd use for any internal employee who wasn't any sort of public figure.

So assuming you aren't a public figure, this is the same bot that they'd deploy to prevent you from coming under fire from a doxxing campaign if you were working there.

And whatever your political leanings you should imagine the worst of the opposite extreme edge of the political spectrum deciding to attack you -- possibly for entirely boston-bombing-level of fake manufactured controversy -- using blogs with hastily written posts on them to attack you to try to get around reddit banning mentions of your name.

If you worked there and people decided they hated you and went after you, this is the system you'd want to have deployed to protect you. It wasn't specifically designed for this employee (in fact since it was buggy when used for this employee it was very obviously not specifically designed for this purpose).

If you worked at reddit as a community manager and you were being attacked and doxxed would you not want them to go to these kinds of levels to support you?

It's funny to see us remembering that things can be done on the server. The trend to render everything client-side has always been troubling to me. Such a waste of resources (but it's not your resources, so developers don't care). Sure, things that are truly dynamic or are different for every user is probably usefully done on the client. But a static page with code samples can easily be rendered on the server, with syntax highlighting, and then cached. You only need to do it once, rather than hundreds or thousands of times on every client device.

> The datastore is a massive global.

A single global state machine and a bunch of small state machines can be losslessly transformed from one to the other. And indeed Redux offers tooling to transform from one to the other depending on preference (this is the Redux Toolkit).

And indeed in that world they don't have to be bundled together. You can have separate state machines for different parts of the page.

> Robbed of the concept of benign localized state, all state transitions must be weaved through the entire complex functional tree that renders it.

As you say, this is really just a specialization of 1 right rather than a separate problem?

> They're called classes.

Classes of course can model state machines since any Turing complete style of programming can model state machines. However, they are significantly different from the classic representation of state machines in that the important part of representing state machines is that you can inspect their state. Classes are meant to be opaque; as you say their encapsulation is a feature.

But their opaqueness prevents the usual state machine composition, which is to link different state machines together based on the states they are currently in. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on the circumstances, but they make it painful when you really do want to represent things as a state machine proper, and not simply as a stateful component. And to the extent that you want a UI to be a state machine, that's a bad thing.

Of course not all parts of your UI should be a state machine, especially things that involve continuous states rather than discrete ones. For truly mind-numbingly benign stateful details (such as which frame a button should be in while performing an animated transition from one color to another) you can just put it directly in the React component and ignore the store altogether, and that's definitely where you really don't want explicit state machines, but rather encapsulated black boxes that are stateless from the perspective of the overall system (which is effectively what a component-based/class-based system looks like when interacting with a state machine).
I don't think that's the usual meaning of security through obscurity, unless I'm misunderstanding you.

It's sounds like you're saying that something like a substitution cypher, or even a one-time pad, would be security by obscurity, because they key is "obscure."

My understanding is rather that security by obscurity means you're relying on the attacker not to have knowledge about you system -- e.g. that you have an admin backdoor at /s3cr3t-admin-pag3.html (real-world example), or that you can ping the server at an unpublished end point to get a token.

The opposite of security by obscurity is when the entire structure of your system is a complete open book (e.g. everything is completely open sourced) except the password, and yet the system is sound enough to resist an attack. But note that possessing a "secret" (a password, a key, a one-time pad, the substitution rules, etc) doesn't mean it's now security by obscurity.

If it was really bad work, then of course not.

The problem is that poor quality isn't the reason why they refuse. While not related to the file picker, I personally offered to port an important part of GTK3 to GTK4 (status icon support) and one of the maintainers told me flat out that he would not merge my work because "it was no longer in line with the direction GNOME is heading".

I suspect the real reason behind their refusal is purely subjective, unfortunately.

I have the same opinion, but imho this is not on Glass. Bach is simply something else, even within his own generation, his music transcends everyone else. Maybe my music knowledge isn't very wide but I spent some decent time dissenting many baroque composers to find something, even remotely remotely close to, e.g. BWV 1004 (especially Chaconne).

Open to suggestions here! I don't have a formal music theory education but I've been playing violin (classical training) since my childhood.

And yet we as a society look down on preppers. It's quite sad to see people complain about shortages and do nothing themselves. These aren't even shortages due to economic reasons or poverty, but rather due to simply to disruptions.
That is also true! However, in a hypothetical world where loans didn’t exist, then the effects of demand would still exist. There would be a lot of other problems in that hypothetical would though; loans are a very important tool for economic growth because in their purest form they allow someone with money to put it to good use while sharing the profits with the person they loaned it to. I think the real problem isn’t the loans but rather the government putting their thumb on the scales.
