I commonly refer to my last name as vowel soup (I'm french, and it's the Americanization of my family name). It's such a niche last name that I've heard all of two people get my name right and both of them were Cajun or Cajun adjacent - most native French speakers are totally lost on it. I always tell people to call me by my first name when this comes up.

I've watched as people did as you described where they spend an inordinate amount of net time (it usually occurs in fragments, such as at the beginning of a meeting) trying to get someone's name "right". When I let people do this, instead of just opting for my very American first name, it almost always felt like I was watching a parody of my last name play out in real time. I didn't put too much thought into it, but holy hell does it get old. I don't like being in the spotlight and wokeism is already very offputting to me.

If you find yourself doing this, consider this: I have a weird name and I don't remember people's names very well at all. I remember faces, experiences, and feelings much more. You'll get my name right over time as you hear people around me say it. That's just fine with me.
Not sure if kanji are to blame - chinese use same alphabet but their way of thinking is totally different.

I'd suggest the root cause is in arguably failing japanese education system. It makes them very rigid in the way they see the world and make decisions.

It's same reason why they adore Excel so much, btw.
As a guy with a name that's hard for everyone except my nationality, I don't really mind much. People are not doing it to be assholes, sometimes it's just hard to make certain sounds, if they're not part of your language.

The opposition party has dwindling numbers and lives in a wasteland, gee golly whats going to happen?

Yeah I get that their land votes for them, but we can just ride this one out and then have a super pac pay for relocation of a few people to specific counties within states.

Can’t work, it has to be the other way around or there is no transition path: first convert a subset of car infrastructure to make alternatives more approachable / desirable, then iterate on that to reduce the space given to cars further.

> What's the motivation behind a global cabal of governments, scientists, independent regulators and drug companies all lying to us about vaccines?

This is like asking “what incentive does the government have to keep up the airport security theatre?”.

To play up the pandemic, increase the FUD, rule by fear and panic, keep the population permanently locked down, restricted, controlled, … a lot of very juicy incentives for a lot of politicians.
tldr kinda.

The most recent version of Ghidra has a plugin to try and construct classes via RTTI info. This still only helps if your binary has RTTI (e.g. there's a dynamic_cast anywhere) and Ghidra still doesn't handle OOP that well even with it. There are other community plugins on Github for the same type of thing.

For heavy C++ binaries, IDA and BinaryNinja handle them a lot better, with the decompiled code looking like normal C++. You still can use Ghidra, it just means you have to do manual recognition of `this` pointers and virtual calls more.

Regarding heatwaves, they've always happened. For example, there was a heatwave in Paris in 1911 that killed around 40,000 people. It'd be easy to find a hundred examples like that, all from before humans had emitted much CO2.

Regarding forest fires, acres burned are a small fraction of what they used to be in the 1920s.

It's quite noticeable also in BBC worldwide coverage. For example newscasters were describing the excitement and shouting of the two coaches of the Tunisian 400m swimmer Ahmed Hafnaoui instead of showing a video of the event. Hilarious
Disagree on that too, the concept of movable "windows" into programs is quite descriptive also. What else would you call it? Programmable Rectangles? Subscreens?
You actually can directly listen to many scientists on social media.
Are you asking me if heatwaves have happened before?

This happens in Ireland too. Even though mostly people speak English, a lot of the place names have a spelling that's a compromise between the Irish Language original and the "Anglicised" pronunciation. Any system (including Google Maps) that doesn't specifically add phonetic pronunciation has no hope. Good examples include "Graiguenamanagh", "Dun Laoighre" and the classic "Cobh".
The USA has a very poor public transport infrastructure, it's very difficult to live without a car, and in some areas it's plain impossible. Build the infrastructure first, then we can talk about reducing the number of cars.

You're looking at this the wrong way: extreme weather is not a predictable, one-off event. With climate change, we would expect to hit the extremes more often, and statistically the data has been showing us moving in this direction for years. Is it a crisis? Well, it only looks like it's going to get worse from here, and it's already not looking good…
> taking a vaccine to the worst pandemic in living memory is the right course of action

I’m not sure this is a reasonable strategy. 2 years ago, the “worst pandemic in living memory” was some annual flu. Did you take the vaccine against that?
Currently booked in for my Pfizer vaccine (still on the fence about it, a week out). I try look up information about what causes heart inflammation in young men. I do this because it troubles me the mechanism doesn't seem to be understood.

Anyway, when using Google to find information on the topic, top of the search results are news articles from Reuters about the fact it's a known problem, but it's ok.

Do you know who is on the board at Pfizer ? The CEO of Thompson Reuters! James C Smith [1]

I'm the same, not really into pedaling conspiracies, but this definitely feels like a conflict of interest, and it would also disincentive people to speak out, I'm sure someone in his position could make a high-profile persons life difficult if he wanted too.

As far as I'm concerned, no one is supposed to do anything. You do what you decide is best. Hunches and assumptions sound like a bad way to decide on such an important course of action. Instead, if I were you, I'd do a combination of research and choosing someone to listen to that you think is both trustworthy and has spent a long time learning about vaccines. Maybe someone who's got a PhD in molecular biology and has written extensively on the subject.

Do your own research, and trust that person to understand the things that would take too long for you to learn, then make your choice.

I would never let the government do my thinking for me, for free or for pay. They aren't good at it.
Please can people stop posting articles from Reuters?... or at least mention the fact Reuters has now adopted a 'registration wall', requiring you to sign up before you're allowed to read the full article?
Yeah you see that question mark at the end of the sentence? It's a question.
If one were conspiratorially minded, they could see this as by design, so people give their loyalty to the employer and state only.
Long story short: broadcasting rights have been awarded to premium channels across Europe and the globe, therefore local radio stations of the BBC are restricted there, as the BBC is a free television and radio network in the uk.
I wish there were a list for "effective actually completing your Kickstarter", wherein Holub took money for an "Agile video class" [1], which was supposed to be delivered in an Agile way.

That was 4 years ago. First the timeline got pushed out, then I rather gather he's just got bored and drifted on.

How ironic is the non-delivery of an agile training course, supposedly delivered in an agile way, that utterly fails to actually, y'know, deliver?

My last name is French, but in reality the name comes from Germany. My family has been pronouncing it incorrectly for 100 years, and I … just don’t care enough to enforce the correct pronunciation. It feels snobbish to me, like you said. Might be an artifact of being an American.

>Every anti-car argument I've seen has assumed a particular lifestyle.

Yes, a no car lifestyle.
The current event I'm concerned about is the increase in average global temperatures caused by the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. To the best of my knowledge Earth has never warmed as quickly as it's currently warming and CO2 levels haven't been as high since before humans were around.
> I can't even hear where I am going wrong.

Same effect for me, once on a flight between Florida and New York I asked for water (I'm French), I did my best to pronounce it correctly but the flight attendant couldn't understand me. Another passenger told him "I think he wants water". For me, he used the exact same pronunciation as me.

I never understood what was wrong.
> Except for building highways. Gas subsidies. Gas stockpiling for security purposes. Road Maintenance. Signage.

No need to even go that far. Just building so many roads (which are inimical to anything but cars by definition), stroads and parking space requirements: when 60% if a commercial lot has to be parking you reduce commercial density by 2/3rds, and increase the difficulty of alternate modes if transport because it becomes significantly more difficult to make rounds without a car.

And that’s if you can even reach the place to start with. The latest “not just bikes” video has a demo of a short walk through a houston suburb (where the author originally needed to go 800m to buy replacement luggage), and it’s terrifying.
Not to mention that "I will get cancer" is a positive statement under that rubric, and "I will not have any problems" is negative. Shocker, you kind of need the rest of the sentence to extract meaning!
you gotta explain the logic to me that should make anyone less concerned about climate crises just because people also used to die of them 200 years ago.

We're not reinventing any phenomena because we're emitting CO2, we're just putting the foot on the gas pedal, both literally and metaphorically. Same argument occasionally crops up during the pandemic. Yes, we've had them before, but that doesn't make this one any less bad, and interacting with animals that spread zoonotic diseases any less dangerous
Generally, those who believe in science don't look for anecdotes to form opinions from.

> * Use schema-based data storage

Great idea until it isn't. The article is full of bullshit but one thing is very true. We can't predict the future, especially so when we deal with humans and society where stuff changes fast. Strict schemas are more pain than gain here.

> * Use formal verification if possible

Wonder when F* and the like get mainstream so that "if possible" becomes "almost always".
This is not just a female issue, I can testify that in my early teens I left competitive swimming due to how uncomfortable I felt in Speedos. Decades later I still feel the insecurity that was put on me by foul mouthed older teen girls ogaling me.

I do not disagree with the fact that many women are unfairly sexualized in these sports and am against that but I feel sometimes misandrious women criticize while giving just as creepy females a pass for commenting on football players butts, swimmers bodies, basketball players shoe sizes and so on...
BBC Bitesize

An educational resource for UK school kids. There's a vast amount of content for all ages. Here's an example of explaining programming constructs:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zh66pbk/revision/2

You would need to crawl the site in order to download the content for offline use. I suspect the interactive quizzes won't work in offline mode. Also, modern websites saved for offline use are unlikely to display correctly in a 2007 Web browser.

As an aside: your question is very interesting because no-one makes offline content anymore. Learning resources on CD like Encarta (CD encyclopedia) no longer exist. However, you can probably find old educational CDs on eBay e.g. from The Learning Company - titles are of variable quality.
> Rust isn't terribly hard to learn, especially for a kernel developer with a good understanding of C and of memory.

I'm not so sure. I program in C for a living (embedded, for almost 20 years) and believe me that I tried learning Rust, but when I see something like:

_dev: Pin<Box<Registration<Ref<Semaphore>>>>

I cannot even image the knowledge code like that might require, its implication, the result, the reason why it was written like that. It's confuse. It's seems like something a trying to workaround a language limitation. Not nice at all.

Unstable Rust Features
I really like alpine linux's goals i.e. Install only the things which are absolutely necessary on a hardened system. But as desktop you are seriously limited by its dependency on musl, Most common apps are dependent upon glibc and so you'll have to compile it against musl if that's even possible.

So the point being, We have secure desktop OSes but how much productivity are we ready to give up for that?
This is likely just the introductory act. We'll be begging to go back to this era of floods and fires once the resulting & hard-hitting droughts + famines + wars + mass migrations + mass extinctions + etc. take their tolls (and some of them have already started to).

In what way is the BBC free? You still need a TV licence to view it live or via iPlayer, which has an annual cost of about £100 if I recall correctly.
It's not an disadvantage, if you care about climate change you shouldn't flock to places where burnings tons of kwh's is the bare minimum to survive.

And it isn't, at least by that definition.

This is also a good definition.

My point is that we need to keep in mind that not everyone thinks of the same definition when using the same words.

> What a buzz kill. If I understand you correctly we shouldn't have expectations or constructive criticism on stuff we don't directly pay money for. I think that's nonsense. Does this only apply to certain opinions?

You can have constructive criticisms, but they have to actually be reasonable and constructive. It's not reasonable or constructive to expect their software to never have bugs (i.e. be outraged when they have one); to rag on them because they didn't fix some bug more quickly than they may have been able to; to throw around labels like "proprietary" just because they don't release something on your schedule; to be bitter that their vision is not your vision (e.g. they won't implement some client or server feature you want), etc. All of that is in this thread.

Signal, for whatever reason, seems to attract a lot of entitled complaints like the ones I enumerated. I don't know exactly why, but it probably involves some combination of contrarianism, being in popular software category, and people who want to feel better for having picked a different team.

Signal isn't perfect software for me: I really wish they had an unencrypted message export feature, for instance. But I understand that doesn't fit into their vision, and instead of bitching about it, I just have it on my todo list to write my own (and have done some preliminary work on it).

> You are not paying money for Signal. But by using it, and getting others to use it, you are definitely improving their position on the market by helping them become a monopoly. Money isn't everything.

What now? Signal is nowhere near being monopoly, and even if they were, they're a non-profit, which makes the idea far less threatening.
>Freenom on the other hand discloses the limited free registration period and the $10 annual registration fees

When the company literally has FREE in its name, and their site is covered with ads boasting “FREE DOMAIN NAMES”, I don’t think that disclosing the true nature of their offer in the fine print legitimizes their business model. It’s a scam, because people didn’t have informed consent, and I don’t care about the legalese.
Sorry. But any site which shits a content-blocking modal dialogue in my face, asking me to sign up for something, before I've even had the chance to so much as glance at what's on the page, gets closed straight away.

> I have a Russian friend who has specifically asked me to go out of my way to correct their mispronunciations, but for the most part if someone says an English word in a weird I don't even blink.

Yes, English has so many weird native dialects that weird foreign pronunciations shouldn’t throw you off either.

The Finns seems obtuse in their insistence on using Finnish phonology when speaking English, which is easy to make light of on the surface, but when you think about it it’s not actually a bad system. It’s consistent, easy to understand and it lets them focus on gaining fluency over memorising pointless irregular pronunciations.
This travesty of a case prooves that his reasons for fleeing were entirely valid.
