Are not all white people Anglo Saxon? I don’t bother to call myself anything other than white, Anglo Saxon, European, Caucasian. It wouldn’t make sense otherwise. I have Irish, English, Italian, and post world war 2 immigrated Polish direct ancestors. I don’t know what else to call myself nor do I particularly care. I don’t have a strong personal sense of identity tied up with any of those things. They are just words I assume apply to me when people use them.
> Can you explain how? Since I've published things to F-Droid and since they also control signing and building (just like Apple and Google in this article), they can freely modify and change what's published on their store.

I think the perspective is that the distribution shields its users from possible upstream shenanigans (think stories that we used to hear about how popular free and open source Chrome extensions get bought and sold and ended up showing ads on Chrome opening page)

This is really splitting hairs isn't it? Plenty of languages are not bootstrapped. Isn't that essentially the same thing?
>>> That's not even getting into shit like, "split shifts" where you have to work a few hours, take a multi-hour break, then work a few more hours. This means that you have to stay at work for 8 hours, but only get paid for maybe 4-6 of them. While you could leave, it would cost you money to do so.

Split shifts is a horror story. I've seen my younger sister working at a restaurant, the main hours are 12am-2pm then 7pm-11pm.

What are you supposed to do during the massive break in the middle? It's royally screwing up your day.

To make things worse, a trip in the tube and back will cost you £3 to £5, a sizable chunk of your first hour (£8/hour pretax).

As if the night hours and pay were not terrible enough, the hours are set daily on a short notice. You constantly must adjust your schedule and if there's less hours to do you simply don't get paid.

Well, that was a pretty interesting article about history but it won't do any good for the perception that academia is filled with dangerously hard left radicals.

The author is a "Stenbeck Fellow in Cultural Reporting and Criticism at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute ... a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Edinburgh, where she was a Witherspoon Scholar". These sorts of people are notorious for being unable to recognize that Nazi-ism was an ideology of the hard left, an ideology that the academic classes are extremely susceptible to. And indeed, we can feel her discomfort at nearly realizing the truth in the final paragraphs:

"Reading Signal today, I had the strange, uncomfortable feeling that I was agreeing, at least partially, with analyses promoted by the United States’ most notorious enemy ... its analyses of problems in the United States have a ring of accuracy to them—in many cases, more so than even US publications ... Without the clear nationalist rhetoric of other Nazi publications, Signal’s critiques of American capitalism scan as accurate, even percipient—prefiguring the work of later US writers like David Riesman and C. Wright Mills, who analyzed the effects of capitalism on an increasingly uniform, alienated American middle class."

Yes, you agree with them because the National Socialists were on the hard left and so are you. The analyses in question are bog standard Marxism in which capitalism is equated with moral degeneracy, exploitation and "imperialism", the exact same tactic used by the Soviets. The concept of widespread "alienation" is also distilled Marx: you just don't find that word or concept outside of Marxist literature.

Yet there is absolutely nothing accurate or percipient about Marxism nor Nazi-ism. Their social analyses were dangerous garbage designed to sound clever without actually being so, and that fact is widely understood everywhere except the sort of places the author has spent their life in - places that are today riven with the same old ideas posing in new clothes.

The fact that the Nazis were leftists is a fact the modern left constantly tries to deny today, but they were as far from Constitution-loving capitalists as it's possible to get. This article shows that extremely clearly: in their own analyses of their enemies they were inseparable from the Soviets they were fighting. What's scary is, even after the defeat of the Nazis and the fall of the USSR, in the western world this type of racist leftism was not wiped out as commonly assumed but merely retreated to its stronghold in academia. The exact sort of people who are obsessed with equating Nazis and conservative white men are also the sort of people who write glowing reviews of Nazi propaganda magazines. "The Enemy as Sociologist" indeed. How very ironic.

If that's possible, curing type 1 diabetes would be on the horizon as well. There's some evidence that people with t1d have latent beta cells that could be reactivated to restore normal(ish?) insulin response. That would be incredible.
If they did, there is no reason we would be told or the results would be made public.
Xoring won’t work:

- xoring will only produce permutations that have period two, and every element will be part of a 2-cycle.

- if your n isn’t a power of two, it may produce numbers larger than n

The set of 2-cycles will have a lot of structure, too (for example, if your magic constant is even, all cycles will have either two even numbers or two odd numbers; if it is odd, all cycles will have an even and an odd number), but the above should already be bad enough to drop that idea.

User interfaces are how you interact with a computer. That includes visual and non-visual elements. Widgets you tap on the screen, gestures you make with your fingers, hotkeys, and commands entered are all components of the UI. If you pinched your fingers together on a touch screen and the view started zooming in it would be just as bad as clicking on a magnifying glass with a '-' symbol and it zooming in, even though the former is not visible.

I doubt unless you're using VPC peering, Transit Gateway, or Private Link that it would be the case that user-generated traffic between regions (for ex, between EC2 instances in Dublin and Sydney) is automatically routed through their backbone.

Please.
Two reasons:
1. It needs to be reversible so you can go from words to lat/lon.
2. They wanted to use shorter words in cities, so the distribution of low n didn't want to cover the full range of m. (this could probably be solved by some sort of banding though).
I think the closer we get to the point where all vehicles are autonomous, the easier it will get. The interim is the hard part. Right now autonomous vehicles have to be able to operate alongside human operators whose ability to communicate their intent is limited to brake lights and turn signals, and there is basically no way to cooperate. Now imagine a world where it's all autonomous vehicles who are constantly communicating intent and can cooperate in marvelous ways, like with orderly zipper merging or intersection management without the need for traffic signals. There will still be a need for computer vision to detect pedestrians, obstacles, and wildlife, but it will be simpler than having to deal with other human operators.
Anglo-Saxon is a somewhat outdated term that refers to the Germanic people that inhabit England and Wales. Easy way to remember is if you take "Anglo" + "Land" you get "Anglo-land", which morphs into the term "England".

Modern historians don't use the term Anglo-Saxon much these days, so it's not especially important.
I didn't know they were trying to de-Google. Would that have anything to do with user concerns about privacy?
The question is more of where the money is coming from. Google gets paid by advertisements so that's where their loyalties are.

F-droid is funded by contributions and donations, and they need both. They also have everything out in the open, which brings extra scrutiny.

And the last part is just culture. F-droid is a community project with clear set goals. Google also has clear set goals, they just don't happen to align with their users for the most part.
It does seem odd, but it is _far_ better than doing it manually. The reason it's so much more efficient is because it takes so long - it can do a great job despite using very little energy and water because it just keeps going at it gradually
Someone should write an updated book on Socialism for the rich, Corporate Socialism, regulatory capture, funding of politicians to get government benefits, the political funding cycle and revolving door, politicians cashing in after leaving office, and the DC gravy train of the military industrial complex.

It is sending taxpayers money to the rich through multiple mechanisms like tax subsidies for mortgages, bank bail outs, government guarantees of different financial instruments (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac etc..) etc....

> Lurching west in stop-and-go traffic on I-80 that morning, bound for Berkeley and a day of delivering in the rain, I had a low moment, dwelling on how far I’d come down in the world. Then I snapped out of it. I haven’t come down in the world. What’s come down in the world is the business model that sustained Time Inc. for decades. I’m pretty much the same writer, the same guy. I haven’t gone anywhere. My feet are the same.

When I’m in a rhythm, and my system’s working, and I slide open the side door and the parcel I’m looking for practically jumps into my hand, and the delivery takes 35 seconds and I’m on to the next one, I enjoy this gig. I like that it’s challenging, mentally and physically. As with the athletic contests I covered for my old employer, there’s a resolution, every day. I get to the end of my route, or I don’t. I deliver all the packages, or I don’t.

Delivering packages is a fine job doing honest labor. Amazon pays well. He has a good attitude. He is doing something the modern world needs. No shame in that.

If I was down on my luck I would have no problem doing whatever job exists. I have washed dishes, and I enjoyed that job. I think a lot of people think some types of work are beneath them but I respect all people who are productive members of society - and the flip-side is that I despise people who say these jobs are so “terrible” they need to be outlawed or whatever.
Those are fighting words in Europe. We are very serious about our ethnicism.

Akin to saying that someone from Philly might as well be from LA, it’s all just a city. Or that the Warriors might as well be the New York Yankees, it’s just sports.

PS; this is why Italians, Irish, Polish etc weren’t considered white until pretty late into the 1900’s in USA – not anglo-saxon
Are there any online resources where I could learn more about what mRNA treatments could theoretically cure? Take Hashimoto's disease for example, a disease where your thyroid gland slowly gets destroyed by your immune system. If I understand correctly, mRNA could stop your thyroid gland from getting destroyed in the first place, but it cannot regenerate the thyroid gland if it has already been destroyed. Is that correct?
it might be more accurate to say free-er markets won. The US has been subsidising some industries for a long time.
The number of people who have a "theory of distribution" one way or the other is pretty low.

But

- many people seem to like unified look and feel

- many people complain about per-app auto-update

- many people love to complain software is getting worse

Are these people connecting these complaints to the debate we're having? Probably not. Can these views be connected to that? Absolutely.

---

I work on distros and due edit the root dependencies, I also contribute to many libraries I use at work during work, finally, I use the same distro at work on on my own and everything is packaged the same way. So yes, it's a "unified workflow for yak shaves" and I quite like it.

I hope there can be more people like me if this stuff weren't so obnoxiously difficult.
I don't think that taking something that was once "pay once and get a perpetual license to that specific version" and turning it into "pay $X per month or lose access to the software" is a good thing when it becomes the dominant form of software access. It's fine for that to be an option, but not as the only way.

I'm majority Anglo (like, actually from England), but I have a Spanish last name from one of my grandparents, who in turn is a patrilineal native American whose family adopted Spanish naming some time in the distant unremembered past. The author's terminology could easily be correct in reference to himself, irrespective of his name.

That said, I question the relevancy of this comment to the story.
The damning thing about Latinx though is how forcefully it was hoisted onto Hispanics by whites who knew little to nothing about their cultures. They simply saw an opportunity to make latinos conform to their world views and now identifying yourself as latinx signals that you are one of those fully assimilated hispanics that has bought into white culture, and who can be expected to be agreeable on certain topics without embarrassing yourself or other whites. So pervasive this has become, that merely identifying yourself as Latino or Latina instead of Latinx can be seen as a sort of statement that can send out the “wrong vibes”.
Economically some are like Hong Kong and to a lesser extent Switzerland.
Distribution does it job: it distributes upstream changes. It's like blaming a zip file, because it contains many small files instead of a few big, so it clutters maintenance. If you see this as a problem, then fix upstream. For me, it's important to receive all upstream changes in one update.
Well... the culture of your ancestors can't do anything for (or against) you in the present day. The so-called Anglo-Saxons were sometimes Anglo, sometimes Saxons, and in many cases neither - e.g., the Normans were a separate culture and a separate people until they invaded and essentially reverse-assimilated. That whole process is very much organic; preserving an identity to specific ancestors long dead, when the culture that defines you has changed, would not be.
This is wrong, the number of transactions has (almost) nothing to do with the energy usage. I wrote almost in brackets because the transaction fees contribute slightly to the total compensation of the miners. So it is mostly the block reward that determines the energy usage (for now)
It's your own setup's fault. I use emacs daily, and I almost never have to restart it.

This seems to be a pretty thin rebuttal. There’s a perfectly sound case against calling Trump a Nazi—which is not what the article does. It’s not really very obvious what your objection to the actual content of the paragraph is. Then you seem to jump on sociology simply because it’s in the submission headline—but it’s far from clear that the article is a representative example of the practice of sociology, so it’s rather mysterious how you get from whatever was in the article to the claim that sociology should be named ‘far-left propaganda’. I’m afraid I don’t really see any substantive content here, and posting that is, I thought, the point of this website.
No you probably come from a slav tribe. Saxons were a tribe in Germany. Anglos a different tribe.

Take an ancestry / 23andme/ myheritage test and see what comes up. You would be surprised.
Do you have specific thoughts on phosh, plamo, or lomiri?
I guess the person you replied to is saying that they are interested in teaching you JS, in exchange for you teaching them mechanical engineering fundamentals, assuming your schedule can allow that.
I came back to fvwm, previously using cwm and spectrwm, just because I found annoying to lose control of my wm after sharing screen on zoom (a must have due to working remotely). Very happy with it, particularly after giving it a old school unix twist with https://github.com/yaoguai/fvwm-min
In practice, on Windows, one can still use most things made 25 years ago. In actuality, I still use WinAmp 2.91 marked "Apr 16 2003" in the about screen. See also http://www.oldversion.com/ .
In general I would agree. But I have seen this used by leaders, which tends to end the conversation because what they are actually saying is "I'm in charge and I know better than you". Your holistic view has to be the same as their holistic view or you're wrong.

Pianocomposer321/yabs.nvim: Yet Another Build System for Neovim, written in lua
> Linux is the kernel and GNU is the userland

No, “GNU” is the operating system project, which includes the userland components, the kernel, and everything else. Just like “Windows” is not ntkrnl.dll, nor is “Windows” the sum of explorer.exe, cmd.exe, etc. – “Windows” is the overarching project name. “GNU” is the same.

People who think of “GNU” as userland components likely are influenced by the accident of 1990’s history that was the prevalence of SunOS (etc.) systems with added GNU command utilities. But the GNU command line utilities were originally meant to be for a (yet to be written) complete GNU operating system, including a GNU kernel, Hurd. But since the GNU operating system was to be compatible with Unix, and the command line utilities were good, people liked to run the command line utilities on proprietary Unix variants, and later the same happened when a Linux-based Unix system was cobbled together; the GNU utilities were there for the taking, and they were very useful in creating a complete Unix-based system, based on Linux. This probably created the confusion that GNU = userland utilities and Linux = operating system, even though almost the opposite being true.
I guess that explains the downvotes. Over hear in America it’s not fighting words, it’s just my family tree.
Yeah - I liked that part of his essay too, I also just generally liked his writing.

There’s something satisfying in this kind of work with clear explicit goals and getting through the list everyday.

I think a lot of society issues seem to stem from how he briefly felt, that this kind of thing was a sign of failure or that he was embarrassed to tell friends at the holiday party.

The irony to me is that this kind of work is probably more valuable to society than sports illustrated and day to day almost certainly so.

If there was more cultural respect for these kinds of jobs, people would feel better about themselves while doing them. I think there should be. I was glad he felt good about it at the end.
Should DevTools teach the CSS cascade?
Not really. I mean those who bet on proper lines and on financial markets that Republicans will win after 8 years of Democrats and vice versa

Also those who automatically assume the political leaning of the person they are interacting with.

If I am with a hot college girl who is a Bernie supporter, you bet I'd be strongly and passionately arguing for the redistribution of wealth and a 95% income tax because that creates empathy and increases my chances.

If I am pitching to a VC in Texas, you bet I'll be strongly pro-Trump and pro 2nd amendment, because it creates empathy and increases my chances.

Politics is a tool to improve your quality of life, and I mean by acquiring friends and allies while talking about it, the trick is to not have a political opinion and polish your acting skills and suddenly the sky is the limit
Klaba plans to keep all employees except Jean-Baptiste Kempf

Angles and saxons were 2 tribes from modern day Germany who migrated to England for better farming and conditions. They're a very small part of "white". A very small part even of "British" descent. Even in England, not everyone is Anglo Saxon, the ruling classes are Norman, there are Celts still, Cornish people count themselves out, Londoners date back to pre-Roman times, vikings settled some areas...
Forgetting the past, and doing the same mistakes...

Not Linus, but a lot of young dev and newcomers are discovering static libs building with GO and co, and think that it is a revolution and that it solves all their problems.

But, they are probably forgetting or not knowing the world of static libs before dynamic one became a thing.

A big part of the revolution of linux success in servers and all come from the magic that brought a full system built on shared dynamic libraries.

The entrepreneur in me loves this idea. They are able to turn dishwashers into a subscription model.

I love the reverse engineering even more. A really step by step process, very well written. However I don't understand this specific step here -

"So my plan now is to read what's inside the EEPROM. It seemed that a special connector is needed, but after rummaging around the parts bin, I found that it fits into a USB-A female socket just fine! Although I had to insulate the metal case so it won't short on the PCB contacts."

Can anyone that understands explain how the EEPROM board can be plugged into a USB socket? Are they similar or is there some overlap? Once its inserted do I use USB protocol to read the data? This is the most interesting part of the whole thing for me. Wish the author explained this more, even if in a separate blog.
