The disturbances to date seem about on the same security threat level as maybe protests or certain natural disasters...not too bad in other words.

(Maybe until we get a leaked Pentagon video of the abduction of a flight deck crew, or an F-18 being crumpled up like a soda can or something)

The "threat model" seems to come from a contingency planning mindset. Forward looking, subjective, but based on past experiences where: 1) Any technology "plowshares" humans can learn about can generally be turned into weapons, so to speak, so any new tech could be a security threat and 2) humans would fall behind other nations' research and watch their own nation or civilization crumble because they were basically ignorant and stubborn compared to their neighbors. And that would be a pretty awful security problem.

Personally I see a lot that could be explained by less-intelligent animalistic behavior in these events, but even if THAT is the case, it may indicate that the physics we see may be compatible with our known physics models.

And if THAT is the case...pretty big deal. Just too bad national security has to be the carrot on the stick.
> Do you use it more than hardcore fact analysis for decision making?

As it relates to this community, one area where I think quantitative analysis can be extremely limiting is in project management. I've seen processes where PMs take dozens or hundreds of tasks, subjectively evaluate a ton of values ("cost", "urgency", "importance", "impact"...) for each, and then use those to "calculate" prioritization.

In reality each task has at least thousands of deeply inter-related
strategic and interpersonal dimensions, so any view we can quantify will be myopic. Other important dimensions include: "this task is a nightmare and the only person who can take it is Bob, who is key talent that is burnt out right now and might quit", "item A will greatly decrease in cost if we wait a few weeks, but only if we assign out item B to Person X because it's blocking and they can do it five times faster.", and "this task will help develop skills that I think are likely to be strategically important in six months, but only if we assign other items that leverage that strategic advantage".

Every variation on these that you can imagine is a dimension, and some of them are far more important than anything that you can easily quantify.

The human brain isn't good at this form of high-dimensional mathematical analysis. It is, however, extremely good at pattern-matching this intuitively. I have yet to see a project management process that performs better than someone with good intuition sitting down and deciding on gutfeel in 1/10th the time.
yah, 401(k)'s are financially engineered to seem to be for the masses, but they're really designed to advantage high-earners even more. i'd actually prefer to remove the tax advantage altogether (and plow that into an overall more progressive tax structure), but absent that, a credit phase-out would be better than what we have.
C and Unix are from the early 1970s. They date from an era that predates the prevalence of large, bitmapped displays. There is a famous photo of Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at a teletype in 1972 (http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/teletype/ken-and...). When the luxuries of modern IDEs, bitmapped displays, and high amounts of untapped computational power are unavailable, the programming environment and operating system need to adapt to the technologies that are available. The convenience of terse names is more pronounced in an environment of teletypes.

On the flipslide, Smalltalk, also developed in the 1970s, has much longer names. But Smalltalk was developed for the Xerox Alto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_Alto), an expensive machine with a bitmapped display, luxurious even by 1980s standards. Lisp also gradually embraced longer names as technology improved; compare the early Lisps of the early 1960s to Common Lisp, which first appeared in the mid 1980s.

C and Unix are products of their relatively spartan environments from the early 1970s, whereas Java, a product of the 1990s, was influenced by Smalltalk, which was born under less austere conditions.

The scenario I personally have is:

- Legacy application, with no access to source code.

- Company that wrote the application hasn't existed for a decade.

- It logs several useless lines every second. This is non-configurable, and includes a timestamp which makes each linue distinct.

- It also logs some very important lines that _must_ be responded to.

I don't think this is a unique situation to find yourself in, and currently this application is permitted - explicitly - to spam the journal to a point that it is effectively useless. Yes, you can use a filtering application to sit in between systemd but that's a workaround and not an actual solution (as stated in the issue linked above):

- it could not be "plugged in" via overlay (i.e. modification of Exec... is needed - this gets ugly especially if you have ExecStartPre/ExecStopPost)

- SyslogIdentifier has to be set to produce proper name in journald

- The filter itself has to be quite reliable (to not hang) and a bit sophisticated to properly handle signals, process shutdown, low disk space etc.
I think the question the OP was trying to ask can be rephrased as "why does a random piece of protein trigger an immune response?"
Selling is just convincing the other person that you have the (best) solution to their problems and that it's cheaper than dealing with the problem.

Good selling is invisible, because the customer convinces themselves. You don't remember why you picked your car model or why you thought an expensive sugar drink would cure your thirst better. Don't copy "salesmen".

Problem mastery: I once interviewed for a job selling oscilloscopes. The guy who interviewed before me was charismatic; I doubted I'd get the job. But I was the best pick because of technical ability. The boss said that sales was easy to learn, but the customers didn't care about your sales skill, they just wanted to know that you understood the oscilloscopes and weren't bullshitting them.

Dance: Nature has mating dances. There's a kind of sales dance too. It's a suit. It's a cup of coffee and a sandwich. It's "Are you free for a zoom call Monday or Wednesday? We give free t-shirts." It's the Product Hunt newsletter. The other person has to know they are being sold to and consent to it. The sandwich helps them think they didn't just waste an hour.

Storytelling: It's a natural way to communicate. Testimonials are the most effective. A video works too. A list of features works for some people (see dance) but it helps if they can visualize the solution. An effective trick is to inspect element their site and plant in your solution, then email them the screenshots.

Keep it short: A pitch is like a joke. The longer it is, the less impact it has. Cut out as many syllables as you can.

Follow up: Very often the timing is wrong or they have to compare options. Sometimes they won't reply at all. If there's one sales "trick" that works, it's following up.

>You read a single sentence, and presumed a LOT about the law.

Which is to say I assumed sufficient context was provided as is customary in polite conversation.

I also made it quite clear in the first six words of my comment that I was allowing it might not be, as frequently happens.

Thanks for the elaboration.

The claim that the law regulates only "calling for violence against various groups" doesn't seem to jibe with what I read on the Wikipedia page though.

It mentions promoting, inciting, tending to produce feelings of, hatred. And 319(2) doesn't even appear to me to require the speech to be "likely" to result in violence.

I'm not telling you what the laws should be, how they are enforced, or what effect they have had, because I don't know and don't particularly care.

I'm just interested in what the law is. On my first impression it seems rather broad, and after considering the additional context, it still seems potentially rather broad.
Triple modular redundancy - explored on the earliest computers, when these kinds of CPU errors were common (but for other reasons). It isn't commonly implemented today for the same reason that ECC RAM isn't in everything by default - people tend to prefer paying less and just crossing their fingers.

I moved to this country in the hope of escaping speech controls. To this day, I am not comfortable participating in (easily identifiable) social media, simply because I am worried about when someone will black bag me for (hopefully only) a few days.

I'm sure that won't happen here, but I'll be darned if this doesn't make my PTSD seem like the master plan.

Incidentally even talking about the nations/religions that I moved here to escape from, could be construed as a "phobic" response now.
While I know the response you wanted was not one that contradicted this point, it’s hard to not contradict it, because:

- there are precompiled devel releases for some distros, and pkgbuilds/ebuilds for Arch/Gentoo. These options would probably be better for most people. The pages on getting wine definitely do show you how to get the devel version for Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora.

- The actual compilation really is “grab deps, run configure, run make.” If you didn’t generally compile a lot of software manually I could empathize with the subtleties but it is hard for me to say it’s worse than most other software. The page you linked to wasn’t for building it; if you search “building wine” you’ll get the more apt page, https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine which Is large, but it really still boils down to “grab the deps, run configure, run make”

It is unfortunate that it is not somehow even easier, but I also don’t have any suggestions for how it could be improved significantly. Between prebuilt packages and a relatively simple build system, it’s about as easy as any large software is.

Maybe the Wiki could be improved to make it less confusing. But it’s also easy to see why it covers so many of the different things you might want to do. I suspect there’s no silver bullet.
What's your reason for taking it? The purported longevity benefits?
Where about the police in all of this? Isn’t it their responsibility to pursue harassment like this? Aren’t the actions of KF already illegal? It seems to me that society still doesn’t take the internet seriously. We still expect to be scammed on eBay and don’t report it. Scams and fraud are everywhere. Abuse like that is rampant. I’m serious, where are the internet police? Yes it’s going to be hard when the people live in another country but so many times the perpetrators do actually live in the same country and basically live with impunity!

" left for later administrative determination."

True, and it will unfortunately be weaponized.

Really it's left to the courts and they will do as they please - subject to the kinds of cases that are brought to the, usually by people with agendas.

Since the new Constitution, we're living in a kind of Judicial Supremacy (in other places as well) where the best legislators and lawyers in the world basically don't even know if something is legal when they make it.

It's a giant gaping hole in how our Liberal institutions were founded that's only obvious now in hindsight I suppose. There really needs to be some kind of way for the Legislative and Judiciary to work something out - maybe by presenting test cases for new proposals, advisory etc.. Because as it stands, all of the 'most important things' are decided by an un-elected and 'Council of Elders' behind closed doors, with not nearly the same level of oversight, public or media scrutiny as in Parliament.

In Canada there is a 'notwithstanding' loophole, literally meaning Provinces can just 'opt out' of something being Constitutional, which is another, weird, separate problem.

We should really err on the side of freedom of expression in the law.

YouTube is still free to have their own thresholds, which is also fair.
Well, the Russians jumped the gun a bit and tried to roll it out before the trials concluded.

What's weird about Windows 11 is they are integrating Android apps. In some ways it's getting more open and, with the TPM requirement, in some ways it's getting more closed. Android apps run on Linux with AnBox, though I haven't tried it. It seems like a much more viable world for alternative operating systems when most applications are written for Android.
Sounds like most countries. Apparently even the advanced countries were ill prepare for a pandemic.

This was a particularly bad one though and everyone is failing to contain it, it’s easy to blame health leaders.
No, the real place to leverage this is before the courts.

I'm not sure of how it works in Canada but in the US, the District Attorney can choose which cases to pursue. A savvy DA (or the Canadian equivalent) can pick cases that fit the public's current notion of "hate speech" and quietly pass on the ones who don't. Therefore, setting precedents for later cases.

Judges can't rule in cases which aren't presented.

I still render Markdown on the client. My blog is probably "slow" by 2000s standards, but it's far faster and more lightweight than a typical news website in 2020.

Every page involves the browser doing rendering work. HTML is neither fish nor fowl; it's not particularly easy to write by hand, but it's not particularly easy for the browser to parse either. I'm not convinced there are any good use cases for it, and certainly not for CSS.

If partial prerendering on the server-side meaningfully speeds up your site for end users then by all means do it. But I would follow "make it work, then make it work right, then make it work fast". Dropping in a single tag to do client-side rendering is more than enough for the 90% case.

Unicode doesn't have many math symbols so you can't copy and paste them like text because they aren't just text.

There are textural representations though which can be copied. They just look ugly.

No, if the recipe calls for 10 minutes that’s the recipe.

You can always spice things up by spending 40+ minutes slow cooking onions, but that’s not the recipe as presented. It’s little different than changing the spices for your personal palette, but while you may prefer different steps or different ingredients that doesn’t invalidate faster, simpler, or cheaper recipes.
It is true that you don’t get every build dep by default, but development headers/libs aren’t separated on Arch like they are on many distros. So I do take slight issue that Arch is on the same level with build deps as Debian, for example. You won’t get the compilers by default, true. But you also don’t need to go through every library and get their headers if you already have the runtimes. That’s a huge difference to me.
Why require Pure to be an annotation - why not make that the default without annotation - no effects? (Same as in Haskell)

I know it is tempting to compare the current price when estimating losses. But really, you cannot do that. I had 2.5M dogecoin that was also stolen. But I don't use the peak valuation (~$1.25M) or the current price (~$0.63M) because that implies I would have singled out the peak or held until now. I really only lost my buy in ~$1,500. It makes for a good story to lose a house, but it is better for your sanity to base your losses in actual line items.
Read about x86-64. There are a few tutorials out there, and most focus on modern systems with the "big four" (UEFI, ACPI, XHCI, PCIE).
I suspect anti-white speech would not be considered hate speech according to the YMCA of Canada. An "intersectional equity lens" often implies the redefinition as racism as racism-plus-power, viewing all whites as empowered and all non-whites as oppressed.

We know anti-white speech can and does incite violence, as it did last week in Daytona Beach:

https://twitter.com/gwupoe/status/1409137548899893251

It can also incite white identity politics, which to me is the much bigger problem caused by this sort of law.

I don't know about that, but I do know this.

There is a gang of people that is promoting lies about Ivermectin (that it is not only effective against Roundworms but also COVID-19) and COVID-19 vaccines (that they are dangerous.)

I am not sure that they expect to convince anybody, but I think the goal is for the people involved to be persecuted and rejected, complain they are being censored, and then become more bonded to the group.

It is like how some cults force members into fruitless evangelism.

What main motivation do you think the seller has? It's basically an early bird discount.
Though it's incredibly painstaking to do a source build; at least in my Arch setup it needed about 20GB of disk space and a lot of time and patience (it needs the Ocaml compiler and also downloads a ton of NPM dependencies!!!), and the PKGBUILD script failed due to a reason I've yet to figure out.

I was thinking about trying out Onivim someday but this one thing was the whole dealbreaker. I thought that if your program is advertised to be light and fast it would also be easy to build, but welp that's unfortunately not the case.
Yeah. That's a hard scenario for us right now, but I think your overall take on this is the right one. We have much work to do.

A lot of what you said, is what my own kids said. It's amazing how much it has degraded.
Wow! That is full batshit crazy.
I still have a bag of FireWire 400 and 800 cables and a number of adapters, plus one external drive that has both USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 ports... only have used them once or twice in the past five years when helping someone offload data from an ancient Mac still in operation.

It seems those old Macs may still be in service in niche applications, most notably in audio processing chains at radio stations or recording studios.

I think it's interesting how long the service life of that gear has been. And as long as it's air-gapped, I don't see much reason why someone couldn't keep running some of those tools until they die.

A lot of the specialized software used for that is customized enough that the OS8/9 system UI doesn't bleed through in the actual editing software in use.
