> The case when one of them is more skilled is actually very good, because then they teach the other one.

Right, I get that that's the theory, it's just that I've never personally seen it work out so well in practice.

I can imagine how it's extremely useful and rewarding for both partners if you have two very motivated people, and the better one is keen to teach and even genuinely open to suggestions from the "worse" one, and the "worse" one is keen to learn. That's the model for a good partnership that most people probably have in mind when they propose doing a project like this. I've just never actually seen a partnership work out like that -- it feels like it requires both members of the parternship have top ~quartile motivation/empathy/communication skills (which as you could imagine might end up being pretty rare among randomly selected CS students...).

In any case thanks for sharing your experience -- good to know that it actually can/does happen!
People in ancient times, all the way back to the bronze age, with a peak during Roman rule, through medieval times were way more mobile than we commonly think. Railroads increased that by turning multi-day trips on foot or horse into single day affairs.
> Sometimes, a heart means “I love you”, “I miss you”, “I hope you’ll feel better soon”, “I love what you’re saying”, etc. Was I expecting my interlocutors to guess the exact meaning?

Actually yes. That’s one of the lovely parts of language. You don’t need to be explicit to convey the correct meaning. Consider:

A: My cat passed away.
B: <3

A: I bought you chocolate!
B: <3

A: Only one more week and I’ll be home!
B: <3

A: I think I’m going to start working out again.
B: <3

I don’t think any normal person would have trouble interpreting those.

Since Encrypted SNI was disabled in Firefox 85, all the hostnames are transferred in plaintext, even using HTTPS. It was also disabled from Firefox ESR 78 at one point around ESR 78.9

This Not only makes DNS over HTTPS absolutely useless, but it is also giving browsing information by duplicate, to the ISP, to the intermediaries and to the DNS providers.

From the article, "If you aren’t a Firefox user yet, you can download the latest version here to start benefiting from all the ways that Firefox works to protect you when browsing the internet"

I did not expected Firefox 90 forget about this matter and talk about protection, when they got rid of Encrypted SNI in FF 85 without warning, and without having any other alternative actively working.

We went from an incomplete solution (ESNI) to having nothing at all. Meanwhile ECH (encrypted client hello) keep sounding like vaporware by the moment. Please...
I just don't understand why you're focusing on the counties. Obama's win was over a decade ago. People move around and concentrate in cities.

What would have been wildly improbable was Biden's opponent winning. The man was deeply unpopular, failed to win the popular vote twice, couldn't crack 50% approval for 4 years, was impeached, was being blamed for the terrible US government pandemic response, and had some of the deepest most consistent unpopular ratings of any president since that kind of sentiment has been tracked. Talk about stacking improbabilities.

> I, like 40%+ of Americans have doubts about this Election.

I can understand having some doubts after the election -- it was a very tumultuous time. But why do you still have doubts today? The dust has settled, the results have been looked at in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona, and no systemic fraud was found. Just read this report by Michigan Republicans [1]. They earnestly looked at everything alleged and found nothing. Absolutely nothing. What exactly are you having doubts about except vague feelings of improbability related to counties? Improbable things do happen, yes?

That one's also part of German. They have umlauts for A, O, and U. Though as far as I can tell, the German Ä is just a variant of "E".

The other two are their own vowels, and they used to be rendered in English as "oe" and "ue". It's not clear to me why we decided that it was better to write "Gödel" as "Godel" than as "Goedel".

Flippant answer aside, we need governments to learn to stand up more against the superlarge multinational companies that think they can bully their way over what a countries government thinks is good for the population.

We should applaud a government for standing up though.

Appears the writing is on the wall, as it were. Some years after Girard, Nassim Taleb riffed on a similar theme he called "suppressed volatility," where he started with risk being akin to a kind of energy that could not be created or destroyed, and the inevitable consequence of suppressing volatility was a kind of mean reversion or explosion on the other direction. I'd never consider Taleb as simpler or less wordy than anyone, but in this case, he seems more succinct than Girard on a similar topic.

Carnivals and festivals today are still role reversals, where some Burners described it to me as for a week in the desert, artists and working people become administrators and facilitators where in regular life they may have little formal authority in their own roles, but here they are the volunteer leaders and make the whole thing go, and then white collar people who spend their lives projecting an edgeless affect can walk around naked, anonymous, and high. No doubt it's more than that, but as something that puts the carnal in carnival, it was a useful description.

Personally, I think Girardian warnings of scapegoating rituals are late arriving words for a greater dynamic that appears to have been set in motion, as though if we've heard of his ideas and work, it's because we already needed to know them. The author's admonition that storm clouds are gathering is a pervasive sentiment in conversations I've had lately, but to extend the metaphor, everyone thinks they need to prepare for a storm, without considering that what they should be worried about is a flood and its aftermath.

I wish festivals could help relieve some of the tectonic social pressures of the last few years, but as he points out, whether they are sanctioned events with artists, or just riots and worse, they're going to happen one way or another.

You're missing a bit the point. Markdown is today a family of flavors and tools, not just the original format made 2 decades ago. Yes, not all flavors have the same syntax, not all tools have the same abilities. Markdown-family today is quite chaotic, but also moving and consolidating. It's constantly evolving and moving forward. And while org-mode in it's single-app-cage provides a better offer in it's specific focus of abilities, markdown is not worse in general and also beats org-mode in other aspects.

And in the meanwhile we also have tools emerging which start to beat org-mode&emacs even in their own strong points. One crucial apsect here is that markdown never had the strong focus on task-managment that org-mode had. This changed in the last years.

Yeah, the goal was (rather, is---I'm still working on it!) to learn more about real-world Haskell by actually learning how to use packages and forcing myself to read the Hackage docs, so for this project I pretty liberally import a new library whenever I need something.

The "req" package is very intuitive to use for requests, and plays nicely with "aeson" for parsing JSON. I'm also using "persistent" to manage a sqlite database.

For project ideas, try to scratch a personal itch. If you're solving a problem (or a daily frustration) that's important to you, you'll be more motivated to follow through! For me, I had been using the beets (https://beets.io/) command line tool to manage tags for my music library, but it isn't really optimized for my use case, and I thought I could do better. So I decided to write a cli [1] with Haskell to tag all my local music files with metadata from Discogs/MusicBrainz, modeled after the beets tagging loop. I'm also working on a more advanced tagging system that uses Datalog inference rules, inspired by a blog post [2].

I think the point of that passage is that “online” festivals no longer provide the function of the archetypal festival and are reduced to mere entertainment. Clearly, many festivals suffered this fate during the pandemic, and individuals accustomed to attending them had to go without or find alternatives.

Also, I’d argue that niche or underground “festival” activity doesn’t really live up the archetypal ideal anyway—traditional festivals cut across the societal spectrum.

Yes, Elm ignores many of the more interesting and important aspects of Haskell for the sake of appealing to JS devs. Go Elm if you want a ML based framework for web clients, but for actual language study, go Haskell.

EDIT: Seriously downvotes for that? Go watch some of Evan's talks on Elm, when pressed for why he doesn't implement some of Haskell's more out-there features, he states that his goal is not to appeal to Haskell devs, but to JS devs, and that he wants to keep the language palatable to them.

So it's strange that I already don't use emojis? Sometimes I will write "haha" or ":)" in chats, and that's about it. That was all I needed when I was in my 20s, and I see no need to change that in my 30s. It probably helps that I don't have social media, except HN and occasionally Reddit.

I didn't know this made me an outlier. Whenever someone uses a lot of emojis, I assume they are young, or wanting to seem young.

The 'target audience of Julia' is everyone, not just 'Matlab converts'.

I can certainly imagine the UK doing well in some tech niches, but not in high-end, global scale consumer electronics like Apple, no.

I think its because Google isn't afraid of them in the least.

It also is probably a decision made to prevent monopoly complaints. If they were to stop ads for Brave or other browsers showing, using their advertising arm either on Youtube, or the web in general, it would bring attention to and provide an impetuous to break up Alphabeta (Google's parent company) for being too broad.
Also Docker and installing applications that have lots of small files.

In general NTFS doesn’t do well with lots of small files because opening files is expensive compared to ext4 (dramatic oversimplification). This shows up in random places where very little actual file reading/writing is happening for each file, like yarn, docker, installing video games, etc.
