Or both parties can work together since there is no True English. Indian English is different than <place> English. It is wrong for the author to expect their English to be universal, and it's wrong for <place> English's speakers to expect -their- English to be universal.

Thick accents are frustrating in any language. I have had to work hard on removing my American accent when learning Korean; it made understanding what I was saying much easier for everyone.

I think what people take issue with is when native speakers (who only speak 1 language, and maybe 1 local dialect of it) start demanding things from ESL/EFL learners.

Wouldn't the garbage collection for most common runtimes also be open source?
Robot Vacuum (Roborock S6): I always thought they were some gimmick. No. Should have bought one much earlier.

M1 MBA: I ditched Apple hardware a year ago after their pretty crappy macbook pro lines. This thing is great and the hype is real.

OneWheel: Always wanted to try. It is extremely fun but I’m too old to recover broken bones fast so I got rid of it.

I understand all that and if I wouldn't like the core of the concept, I wouldn't have switched to the Apple ecosystem.

But they also get money if the software for their hardware is easy to find and browsing the App Store is a fun experience instead of getting the same "few" apps. (No wonder apps like AppRaven exist.)

If the App Store was a different company unrelated to the hardware, I think it would be a different story. But since it's all tied together, it's like their own Sales platform.
Right? That's fine, surely, I at least am not saying that we need to hate the films now. Society is better, is all. He was certainly the hero of 2.
I admit that it wasn't especially rigorous testing, but I personally tested this along with other people I knew. I used real photos from my camera and my wife's (we are of different races), featuring photos of ourselves, friends, and family.

I of course hope that the systems I use aren't racist against my loved ones. I am motivated to confirm whether or not they are, but I didn't go on to parlay my findings into an essay for clout. I gained nothing from doing this, except the knowledge that Twitter was suckier than I knew.
Sadly I don't think you can ever win a battle against DoH unless you control all devices on the network and can live without any that try to use it. I would hate to run an enterprise or school network these days!

My home LAN is a total overkill setup because I like tinkering with this stuff. If you want more control then my advice would be to look at enterprise hardware as often used enterprise hardware can be found cheaper than way worse equipment made for home users. Just make sure it doesn't have loud fans or that they can be disabled (which they mostly can outside hot server rooms). I swapped out my switches with some cheap HP 1910-24G managed switches and connected them with fiber. I got 3 of those cheaper than the one crappy Linksys I had before which last had a firmware update months before I bought it! But if I had to recommend a single easy solution I would buy a ready to go OPNsense device. I only know this shop in Sweden though: https://teklager.se/en/products/routers/

Basically what I did after I stopped using pi-hole was to setup pfsense (later switched to OPNsense when I found out that pfsense isn't actually open source) and broke up my LAN (via VLANs, which is where the HP 1910's came into the picture) into three pieces:

-DMZ that is totally open for Playstation etc. No access from or to this to/from anything on LANs

-LAN1 where only whitelisted things have WAN access. This is where all normal traffic is at.

-LAN2 where anything that need access from WAN are connected (this also have its own WAN IP)

Geeky!
Note that seasoning cast iron has nothing to do with flavor. It refers to the coating that develops after seasons of use. The primary benefit is that it prevents rust. A very nice side effect is that food tends to stick to it less. Seasoning is best accomplished in a controlled environment, but it's also fine to just start using it (with oil) and lightly clean without soap after use. Eventually, it might start to develop a useful coating in key areas.
I dislike Outlook 365 because of a number of UX design decisions, but I can't say it works poorly on Firefox for me.
Two friends of mine used to work on projects that depended on BREW. Brazilian videogame console (zeebo) was also dependent on it. At the time they didn't spoke negatively about it. With my free software roots, I had a very negative view on proprietary platforms and dev tools.

A few years forward, no zeebo game can be played on non-original hardware that is no longer manufactured for about a decade. These games will become unplayable and unsalvageable too. Although not spectacular, losing part of history is always a dent on culture preservation.

Basically the same happens with the BREW software that won't run anywhere else and brew devices that simply became unusable because they require signatures.

Locked down platforms should be regulated or laws should exist to force companies to open specifications after some time and release signatures.

A friend converted his 26" bike with the Bafang 1KW motor, and that thing is a beast. Definitely not street legal, as it can reach speeds of 80km/h, but a lot of fun
I'm pretty sure in some compilers (eg llvm) there's no such thing as "no optimizations". -O0 means "I'm politely asking not to spend extra time making my program more efficient", but it's sometimes less efficient to compile the more obvious slower version of something, plus "the less efficient more obvious version" has intuitive meaning but isn't well-defined.

(But I may be wrong for C. I only know this is true for Rust. I'm pretty sure though the reason it's true for Rust has to do with the steps that happen in llvm, and thus would probably also be true for c).
More aesthetic and safer for people also. In a windy day, a nest box could fall over the head of somebody. On the other hand would be more difficult to clean.
That would've left out something like 47% of citizens, mostly lower income ones in the most need of assistance.
Just because it appeals to nature, doesn't make it good.

While I agree it was likely lighthearted, that does not exempt it from criticism.
The Process Is Messy: The Finished Artifact Looks Meticulously Plan
Peloton bike+ - I got suckered into the hype but 84 rides in 9 weeks and it truly does live up to it

Garmin Fenix 5 - Ok this was actually 4 years ago but still it was first to mind

Hive heating - Again, 6 years ago, but my partner and I use this all the time through the colder months. Being able to control the heating from your phone when you're an hour away from home is delightful
Walkman-style over-ear headphones, except of course wireless with Bluetooth and USB-C. Clamshells are too big, and in-ear are always uncomfortable and precarious for me.
Question: what does "fake" mean here?

I've seen it a lot, and it's clearly negative, but I don't know exactly what makes somebody "fake". Is it that they tell a lot of lies? Or that they're not trustworthy friends? Or just that they're not very good people?
I am not interested in the outcome for people like you and I. There could have been a ceiling on the refund.

As I said in an edit to my original comment, I run two businesses which each received both PPP loans. I and my employees benefitted. I still think it was unfair.

My employees should have received money directly and been allowed the agency to determine how to spend that money in a pandemic world. Instead, we propped up businesses that failed anyway and now there is less money to invest in new businesses.

I know of businesses that employed people doing nothing. I also know of businesses that took the loan and still laid people off. This is not good for GDP. It would have been better to stimulate at the individual level.
So a cursory google search shows this definition of “native speaker” in several places:

“a person who has spoken the language in question from earliest childhood”

And this makes sense, because “native” as an adjective means:

“associated with the place or circumstances of a person's birth”

So native speaker literally means a speaker by birth. Where are you getting the “fluent only by immersion” definition?

Are you instead talking about “native fluency,” which is typically used to mean fluency at the level of a native speaker, which is technically achievable by anyone (though realistically impossible after a certain age)?
will you refuse to buy an Xbox because there is no competition for the Xbox store on the xbox? will you refuse to buy a Playstation because there is no competition for the Sony store on the Playstation?

(Microsoft is supporting Epic as well, yet argues that their own Xbox store should not have to open up either. Maybe that would be a good place for them to start?)

https://mspoweruser.com/epic-apple-app-store-xbox-playstatio...

it's always funny how Apple is the specific target of this rage and yet nobody makes such a fuss about these platforms, despite their exclusive control of developer freedoms on their own customer base... nobody gets themselves nearly as worked into a lather about the evils of Playstation, and yet these platforms are locked down even tighter than the iphone.
Excess mortality in the United States in the 21st century
Solid picks but I just can't justify 650€ for headphones that are arguably worse than a midrange Sennheiser. If you want to enjoy lossless audio just grab a HD58X for 160 bucks (re-run of the mighty Sennheiser HD580 from 1995).
I’m a native English speaker.

I argued for the contraction "amn't" through sixth grade, but my teachers kept correcting it.

At work a few years back, a Chinese colleague was speaking with an Indian colleague. I had some trouble understanding them with their heavy accents, but they were apparently having no trouble understanding each other.

At the same workplace, my Italian boss would sometimes converse with a Canadian colleague in French.

My dad is one of those people who when speaking to non-native English speakers, he speaks (a lot) louder, as if that helps them to understand (I don’t think it does).

In Italy one time, my daughter was trying to order espresso with hot milk but got served a glass of cold milk because she asked for a latte. She's currently studying German and is amused by the German for "birth control pills": "Anti-Baby-Pillen".

I am reminded of a habit from seven habits of highly effective people: seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Shrug.
A pleasant property of the cast iron skillet is that I can preheat it to an exact temperature in the oven. To make popcorn I drop some ghee in it and put it in and set the preheat to 450. The second the oven comes to temperature I pull it out, put it on medium high add the corn and cover and shake occasionally. Usually have from zero to at most five unpopped kernels this way.

The preheat in the oven trick is good for steaks too.
Never tried the IKA Markus, but I've had quite a few office chairs quickly go downhill at the 2-3 year mark.

I'm pretty big at 6'6" / 275lbs, and I am legitimately in my chair for 50+ hours per week, so that may have something to do with it. But this is the first chair I've owned that, after 3 years of constant use, is still in excellent condition.
Futon, for sleeping on. Used to wake up in the middle of the night with agonising cramp in my back, it reduced it by maybe 95%. Granted a new good bed might have achieved the same but I don't think I'd ever go back to a bed at this point.
It’s going to be a really tough sell to tell apps they should give up color as a tool for branding and let user themes take over.
1. MacBook Pro 13" M1. Fast, quiet.

2. Streamlight pocket flashlight. Tiny, USB rechargeable.

3. A decent drill and impact driver. (Dewalt Brushless)

4. A cordless/battery string trimmer. No more messing with gas/oil mixtures or lugging an extension cord around.

5. AirPods
I've got my Aeron since ten years and use it daily. It's still like brand new. I don't think I could sit in any knock off and not immediately notice the difference. It took 30 minutes to set up (ten years ago) and I haven't changed anything since then. I put my hands behind my head and the chair slowly leans back: that's the "easy" trick to configure it properly.

The one main complain I see about it is the frame hurting people's legs / preventing proper blood flow but I think that's people sitting in Aeron chairs not configured properly.

I don't just like the "pellicle mesh" (no sweating) and how great it feels, I also like that it's ten years old and is basically like new despite daily use.

As a funny sidenote: during the first covid lockdown I got stuck for three months not at my home and had to use a really crappy chair (as in: an old chair, not meant for office work at all) and within weeks I developed terrible back pain. It was so bad I had someone lend me one of his Aeron.

Wow! Interesting to see hints that meltdown exists years before it was officially published.
"Howdy" seems like a successful synechdoche for American dialect to me. Seems like what makes something a proper representation is somewhat personal.
That all depends on how far you trust "write once, deploy anywhere." It doesn't have a flawless track record.

I think Linus' comments still apply to those higher level languages. They all rely on platform dependent code.
You are welcome, I hope it helps. Ethics are what you can bring to it.

Just like a knife can be used to prepare food to provide sustenance or take a human's life, it is not the tool that can be a problem, but the intent and usage of that tool...

I run an IT business, I focus on taking care of my clients so they no longer have to worry about IT stuff. In return, they reward me with the means to enjoy the life I currently enjoy, and I have good feelings about contributing positive impact/effects on/to their businesses.
I don't know what the research shows, but my intuition says that especially for people in lower socioeconomic classes, many of these things just don't apply, because of the scarcity of money all around.

A landlord in a lower income housing situation might be themselves strapped for cash and rely more on that income (as opposed to this being their second investment home), so might be less forgiving of you missing your rent. And people live more paycheck to paycheck.

It's hard to remember how much uncertainty there was last spring, about how long this would last, how many would die, or just how catastrophically our economy would collapse.

I don't fault the government at all for hastily putting this together. But as others have said, that doesn't mean they shouldn't go after fraudsters now that we have some breathing room.

Full disclosure: my 2 person company received a PPP loan and it helped us for the period that it did, especially because our city government client took all of our contract's funds for COVID relief.
I find this preference hard to fathom. Sure, written communication is great for much of the workday but sometimes you need nuance and, short of spending hours wordsmithing the right tone, it's better to meet face to face (or by video is that isn't possible). I say this as an English speaker that is completely comfortable with written words.

Maybe part of the problem is AV equipment? Once place I worked we had MAJOR communication difficulties with understanding Indian and SE Asian folks over the speakerphone. It was a perfect storm of unfamiliar inflections, vowels not being differentiated from each other strongly enough, consonants getting screwed up and rapid speech.

Really good headsets on both ears and repeated exposure seemed to resolve the discomfort and dread for many folks. I always wondered if there were similar complaints on the Asian side, I never heard anything about it. Do they find British/American accents hard to understand? I don't know.
Yeah and the article says the police don't agree.
No. I had similar experiences when learning Korean in Korea.

There is a trend by native English speakers to bash english, and treat it like no other language can have any of these issues.

The only major difference is noted in the other response; English has a lot of different dialects. Korean has Standard Korean that everyone learns now, and unofficial regional dialects. With English you have people randomly learning American English, UK English, Indian English, etc, which all have various differences in vocabulary, idioms, grammar, etc.
It shows up rarely in that form in "standard" English, but the related morpheme "-ponent" shows up more often: component (put+together), exponent (put+out), proponent (put+forth). And then the "-pose" variants come from the same Latin root but modified via French: compose, expose, propose.
Oh wow, this exists? Looks more efficient than my combination of duct tape, paper, and a black maker.
Stunning to me that so few people use Firefox. It works nearly flawlessly for everything I do, no worse than any other browser including Chromium. And it's clear they actually care a little about privacy and democratic standardization.
Common Phone Interview Questions in 2021
I don't have an ad-blocker on this machine and I couldn't finish reading the page. The ads are ridiculously obnoxious.

It wasn't that long ago when magazines like Wired cared a great deal about the page. What a mess.
I much rather would have the regret of mocking and ridiculing scrawny Billy in 2nd grade online than the regret of physically kicking him while he was on the ground crying.

I think he would as well. There are different levels of abuse in the physical world and the virtual world. Comparing the worst form of online abuse to the least physical abuse would likely prove you correct. The opposite is true of the worst physical abuse vs. the least virtual abuse.

Virtual abuse is a somewhat new phenomenon only in that it is much more prolific. Prior to the internet, we had telephones, telegraph, pen & paper, and others. Abuse was common in these mediums and still is today. Because of the cheap, instantaneous, and inherently anonymous nature of the internet being quite new, I expect it will take a couple generations for society to create customs and norms that are more consistent with our physical world customs and norms.
How does the ownership structure of your residence affect your ability to clear smoke from a room, or your ability to effectively season a cast iron skillet?
As a native speaker, I don't remember anyone teaching me the rules of adjective order but I have internalized them and definitely notice when someone violates my expectations. I rarely witness a native speaker do so. https://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/order_of_adjectives....
For barefoot shoes, my absolute favorite is Tade Evo. I destroy a pair in about a year, but I have happily continued to destroy pairs for quite a few years now. After them, Feelmax. I have not yet been able to destroy my boots from them.
I bought a pack of 52 ring-spun cotton towels from Costco that I now use for everything. Automotive oil changes, baby diapers/spit up , juice spills, cleaning surfaces.

My enthusiasm for these towels is unparalleled. I’m a parent, though, so ymmv.
COVID caused people to avoid their cancer screening until it's too late, wealth inequality up, drug addictions, but we flattened the curve!

Half of our city's daycares went out of business, I now pay an extra $5000/year.

And flattening the curve didn't save my 80 year old relatives.

Both red and blue team should be fired. Elect scientists that won't overreact at fractions of a percent.
We are not picking up where we left off. The economy post-COVID is different than the pre-COVID one. We should give as much power as possible to the market to figure that out. Instead, we propped up failing businesses with welfare and extended the economic impact.
Also, there has been plenty of private communication. We know because much of it has leaked.
I'm Greek, and "periphery" sounds fancy here too :P We'd just say "to the edge".
Math:

- 1 unit/mo for 10 years at 7%/yr => 172 units.

- 172 units @ 7%/yr for 35 years => 1,836 units

vs.

- 1 unit/mo for 35 years at 7%/yr => 1,721 units

Depends on rates though who comes out in front.
Ruby and Python both have significant parts of their implementation and libraries in C, so it's still a significant problem there.

Java less so, but the behavior and performance characteristics are definitely different.
This is what I came here to say. I got one for my son a year ago, and I've been surprised at how much use I've gotten out of it.

Things I've used it for:

- It's currently germinating seeds for the garden. Some people use Instant Pots, but ours doesn't have the Yogurt setting. The printer bed is our best way to keep the seeds at 31C for a week.
- Custom Christmas ornaments for the extended family.
- Hangers for ethernet cables in the crawl space and drywall grommets for passing through walls.
- Headphone hangers. Could have bought on Amazon, but found a design on Thingiverse that I liked and 3 hours later I had it on my desk.
- Extension to the hopper on my coffee grinder. It would hold around 3/4 of a 12oz bag, and I was like: I just want to empty the whole bag into the hopper.
- Little coasters and trinkets for birthdays and Valentines.

Next thing is: My son got a Stirling Engine kit but lost a couple of the gaskets. We can model some molds and create replacement gaskets, they're fairly specialized, not sure if I can just buy them.

Plus, it's been kind of fun modifying the printer. Also kind of maddening at times. But it reminds me of the car mod scene when I was 18.

I got an Ender 3 Pro, upgraded the motherboard, added a bed leveling sensor, added OctoPrint and a camera, upgraded the extruder, trying out glass beds...
There is no reason we should not have sent money directly to them as well. I wrote "started by refunding".
Anecdata, but of the people I know most report that significant promotions only come from job hopping, never from staying in one place. I'm glad that this hasn't been true for you, but based on hearing many stories that are unlike yours and very few that are like yours, I think your case is unusual. Hard to phrase 'you got lucky' in a way that doesn't imply it was just luck or that you didn't work hard (and that the hard work was a necessary step).
1. English is made up of several languages;

2. "Language changes" pretty much equates to people making mistakes, and those mistakes becoming part of the language. Since English has spread over so much of the world, in addition to it not having a central authority that is looked to for its structure (as does French), many mistakes have come in, and made the language weird. This overlaps a bit with (1).
Thanks for sharing this insight, I hadn't realized it was capable of all those protocols.

I fall firmly into "those 98%" you mention.

Dlang's stdlib (only) implementation for making network requests is quite literally a direct "curl" wrapper:

https://dlang.org/phobos/std_net_curl.html

You've changed on my mind on this being an odd design decision.

Baking in libcurl for the user (or optionally allowing them to dynamically link) if they want networking was maybe the most sane/pragmatic choice you could have made for a new language.
For the general case, it’s going to be a lot easier when you’re 80 years doing Carmack stuff than it will be Hawk stuff.
