They need to ask Google and Amazon how easy it is to just waltz into gaming.

I’d suggest to Netflix they try something a little out of the box like live eSports. It might be their first live content, and I’m sure they can find a way to highlight the best gaming content and making their streaming package a more interesting bundle compared to Hulu or whatever.
> makes me worry about the next 'HIV'. Too many young people, specifically gay males, think as long as they are safe from HIV, they are safe enough.

So, first off, you might have a valid point but your approach sounds pretty biased. The wild generalizations about behavior, especially stigmatized behavior from a marginalized group, detracts from point about concern over a super-virus. Yes, gay men are often the topic of convo when it comes to HIV but it's not like they're the only ones passing around STDs.

Also, I'm not sure its true that Prep has had a material increase in unsafe sex. Most gay men seem to think of it more as a means to not worry about dying from sex instead of an opportunity to dramatically change behavior. Thanks in-part to HIV gay men are probably also the population with the best insight into their sexual health - so if a concerning new STD did spread, they'd be the first to take the individual responsibility to stay regularly tested and informed.

Birth-control and abortion and other related tools likely had a similar affect on heterosexual sex that prep had on gay men. There is a lot more heterosexual people to pass things around too. So calling out gay men might not be the most important piece to your worry about promiscuity leading to a super-virus.

Prep-induced gay promiscuity inducing a new pandemic of super-STDs really sounds like a bad talking point for an extremist politician in a conservative country. Obviously, its possible, however improbable, but its probably not the best way to express this concern.
Fear of Russia is the few things Hungary and Poland and rest of most of EU have in common.
> nonstandard notation with no context or definition.

Which is exactly how the notation is used in many papers. You're supposed to have the context (from reading books and other papers in the area) and infer the definitions ("it's trivial to show, so we won't"). It's a passive-agressive stance from the perspective of someone not belonging to the club.

> “Divide the reduced Plank constant by twice the mass of the particle, then multiply by the second derivative, with respect to the x-coordinate, of the wave-function. To this quantity, add the potential multiplied by the wave-function. This is equal to the product of the energy eigenvalue and the wave-function.”

When I imagine this, I'm ecstatic. The difference between the two formulations is that the latter I can work my way through with a search engine, WolframAlpha, and Wikipedia, while I have no way - other then learn the whole subject matter - to decipher the former. I just don't understand what's wrong with the second formulation. From what I read, this was the standard way of writing about maths and physics until 17th century - at least. Yes, it's more characters, but it's infinitely more readable and discoverable to the uninitiated.

Not to mention, from the classes I attended, lecturers often say it out loud in exactly this form, while writing the symbols on a whiteboard. So it's obvious that the two are equivalent.

The former notations lends itself better to algebraic transformation, so I don't have any issues with using it for the intermediate steps, but the result - which is what I'm after, as a causal user and not a practitioner - could be presented in both forms. It would immediately unlock a lot of knowledge for use by non-experts. What's wrong with hoping for that?
It's a surprisingly hard question to answer. "feudal" is a historiographic term which was first coined in the late 18th century. It saw various interpretations over the course of the 19th and 20th century through various historical schools. Another term, at least for mainland Europe, would be "Ancien Régime" which denotes the political and socio-economic system before the French Revolution.

As for legal traditions, you're looking at concepts such as customs (coutumes) and seigneurial rights (banalités or bans) which varied from region to region. The former were normative and mostly local. From the 12th century onwards, Civil Law based on Roman Law started to coalesce. The major driver was monarchs gradually succeeding in centralizing and consolidating their power throughout Europe. Through violence (wars, subduing insurrections,...) and through gradual establishing a powerful administrations (typical example: the Dukes of Burgundy).

The French Revolution swept all of that away. The period between 1789 and 1830 saw a fracturing of European nobility and their power, and subsequent consolidation into nation states based on constitutional powers.

Put in a different way, if you were born in 1760 and lived to 1840 (80 years), you'd experience a "societal collapse" (to describe with a hyperbole) in which any and all "old" ways that governed life were overthrown and replaced by an entirely new way of organizing society.

Sanctions are only targeted at Belarus (When it's clear they got Russian assistance). Isolation of Belarus throws them into stronger Kremlin influence and that is precisely why Poland and Hungary were allowed by Putin to vote for those "sanctions".
You do not need a passport although you can use one. A driver’s license or other government issued ID is sufficient. It may even be possible to fly without an ID, like if it was stolen or lost, but it would be a holy mess. The comedian Hannibal Burress has a funny bit about it.

> the author forgot to check the date and thus didn't realise their comment won't contribute anything useful

I have a different view of those in most cases - particularly on large, or publicly accessible, boards. That comment may not contribute anything useful for the people previously involved, but it may very well be useful for everyone else - such as any person that finds the thread through a search engine.

> Like when a user tells others in a 7 years old, obsolete thread they're wrong because shiny new solution XYZ exists.

That's a specific case about one-upping someone much later, but a more generalized case - posting modern solution under unresolved problem thread - is very valuable for people who find the thread looking for a solution. Conversely, blanket ban on "necroposting" discourages accumulation of knowledge on tough problems.

OK, experimenting with this example, I attempted to import a simple Racket web app (https://github.com/jarcane/RantStack). I've provided links to the REPLs too for both attempts.

attempt 1) I was able to import a Racket app from Github, added a similar nix config to it as described in the docs, but it would not run as it says nix-shell is not present. Apparently a repl needs to be blessed some how as a Nix instance to work, but there's no option to select that when importing or creating a repl.

attempt 2) Next I tried just forking your template, and literally just copy-pasting the code from my app (it's a single file anyway) into the main.rkt. This runs the app ... but I can't actually access it, because apparently the ports aren't being forwarded. Going to the URL as described in the repl.it docs just gives me an eternal "Repl waking up" screen that loads forever, but never resolves.

However if they want the rights, they're possible legible also of having to pay to the tenants for all the improvements they did so far, and very likely taxes on the property.

> I try to reference all the things all the time, cause its ingrained in my brain as more efficient than copying stuff around or/and requesting things from hashmaps.

Many people don't realize that actually referencing all the things all the time is LESS efficient than copying stuff around on modern architectures, unless you copy really big things. This is because the majority of improvement of memory access in the recent years is seen in sequential speeds but not latency.

I have no qualms with forks or reimplementations (ie. Android - Java.) I actively support the paradigm.

But in this case, it's pretty shitty to try to erase all evidence of said inspiration. Most forks and reimplementations don't do that. They pay homage to their origin with at least a shout out.
Firstly there's a 3rd type: someone asks for help and you post a suggested solution 3 years later. Extremely useful for all the lurkers who also had the same question and are reading looking for possible solutions.

But secondly, even your own counterexample I don't think checks out. If I'm browsing your forum & interested in perspectives on working at Lyft v Uber, I absolutely want to read a recent update and contrast that with what people thought 3 yrs ago v now.

Tbh, the "I got my sound card working" post seems least appropriate of them all (but still ok to do imo, necroposts are good)

> A public bug tracker isn't just for you. It, arguably, isn't even primarily for you.

There is a lot of work still to be done on bug-tracking. The eternal attempt to keep users away from bugtrackers has meant that, when they inevitably became public because of FOSS growth, their interfaces did not really work for users.

I think it's high time we accepted bug trackers are also forums. There should be a way to mark certain comments as "effective workaround", and surface them at first glance. There should be ways for developers to mark certain comments as "useful info" so that the rest can be filtered. There should be ways to have lengthy discussions attached to the bug but not forced on the developer. There should be incentives to actually solve "historical" bugs first. In short, there should be different ways to look at a bug depending on one's role, without losing anything, without alienating anyone, and accepting the complexity of user-developer relations.

But there is very little money in it, I guess.

I'm fairly sure Lukashenko/Putin was expecting (possibly even counting on) some kind of reaction. This has Putin's fingerprints all over it, actually.

He set up a kind of win/win situation. Sanctions have a habit of backfiring at the best of times, and he's set up a situation where the hypocrisy of the EU/US can be hammered home in domestic propaganda with persistent comparisons to Morales/Snowden incident. It'll be hard for pro western Belarussian politicians/journalists to effectively rebut these.

Meanwhile they can gently guide Belarussians into going on holiday in Russia where they might have gone to Europe if flights are banned. Isolating them this way would be a feature, not a bug.

If, on the other hand, the EU/US just sanction a few individuals they look weak and Lukashenko looks strong.

It's quite the pickle.
In computer systems that humans have to use, I often find really poorly operating systems that are defended because their design decisions were more "elegant".

If I remember rightly, the US does routinely vaccinate everyone against HPV as teenagers regardless of gender - it's the UK that historically only vaccinated girls. (Though this changed very recently, it obviously still leaves a bunch of men unvaccinated.) There's some kind of recent vaccination program for gay men, but that only started a couple of years ago and requires them to actively seek out vaccination.
The thing is, to put it bluntly, it's Belarus. Almost all of them have nothing to lose. I imagine air traffic over Belarus can be avoided with minimal financial losses and Belarus itself only generates a small amount of traffic. Plus some of the countries voting for this are actively hostile to Belarus (I think Lithuania is in that category).

The only thing that would make them change their minds is if Russia reacts somehow.
It is still largely symbolic - in last few months Lukashenka has implemented various travel restrictions with the west (both for political reasons and also to limit emigration/brain-drain as e.g. various IT companies were relocating Belarus employees to Poland/Lithuania/etc) and there was a feeling that he might have restricted flights or the ability to fly anyway - so now the same result gets achieved not by the prohibitions of the regime but can be blamed on the "evil neighbours".

It's perhaps somewhat similar to sanctions against Russia which were followed by Russia-imposed sanctions on importing e.g. cheese, which has the benefit of improving trade balance (as people aren't consuming imported products) and any discontent of the people is blamed on the western sanctions; the regime wants to ban certain things but it has less impact on people's satisfaction if the ban can be blamed on everyone else.

> I think every country shall make its cost-benefit analysis

Nope, that the ban will happen has already passed, which is what this article is about. What hasn't happened yet is that the executive order in each country has yet to happen, but that won't include extensive debate as the decision that has been taken is a united front for the participating countries.

Actively ignoring already agreed orders to pass would be going against their own interest of a united front, which obviously would go against the core principle of the EU, so unlikely to happen.
In practice many very rich people in the UK have some form of private healthcare. The NHS has historically relied on rationing by queuing - since most demand for healthcase is very inelastic you need a lot of queuing to reduce demand by much. There's also a lot of rationing by bureacracy, or rationing by telling you you can't have something and then you having to repeatedly beg for treatment that you or your child badly needs.

I support universal healthcare but I think the British system is not the best. It is the best at one thing - providing near-First World quality care at near-Third World total cost. The rhetoric around the generosity of the system and how lucky we are to have it is the same thing which allows it to be degraded. Lots of (mainly poorer and less educated) people put up with substandard care, simply because they feel it would be ungrateful or entitled to ask for basic things. Lots of wealthier and better educated people, who would pay for top-up coverage in the French system, get a better standard of treatment for free simply by demanding it. And 'going private' is an either-or - once you get private coverage you opt out of the public system and no longer have any stake in it.
There was a fascinating passage from a book I saw somewhere, that described the extreme and universal consumption of alcohol as the early way to adapt to a big city life - before other ways of dealing with people around were invented.

That's a more specific thing regarding hereditary titles. Acquiescence in the common law applies to any right. Could be water rights, grazing rights, certain intellectual property rights (though those are generally registered in a way that infringing on them legally "unknowing" is hard), &c

If I have grazing rights on land that someone else owns, but don't actually graze there for decades and a new owner doesn't know about those rights, I can't then come back mad that his new fence infringes on the right that I've never asserted and he's not aware of.

Not OP, and generally don't agree with their point, but this passes the general sanity test.

Considering PREP is targeted almost exclusively to gay men, and HIV is mostly a concern among the sexually active gay male population, saying "young, gay, men" is pretty fitting.

Obviously the value-judgement about how much sex is too much or too risky can't have data to back this up. To me, as long as there is a net reduction in risky behavior that might impact society (not spreading a disease faster than eradicating it), its probably good, but this doesn't seem to be OP's view.
