What are they mocking? It seems from your comment that the facts were reported accurately. Money is going towards manga, so not towards French creators. This is a government program, so the intention is to support French artists, is it not?
> Unfortunately, it's a part of the game due to football's insistence on using a running clock, which makes zero sense from a competitive aspect and needs to be changed

Can anyone explain why this is, either than historic reasons like "it's the way it has always been done."? It seems a bit odd in today's world that they don't have a clock that everyone can see and the ref having the ability to signal to stop and start it.

And perhaps it's just accepted but I've often found it strange too that in extra-time the ref will usually let play continue through the time while a team is on the attack and only ending the game after the defense has killed the threat. It seems like a lot of discretion for a single person, the ref, to have.
I think the hope was that the money would be used to support local cultural content/events since people in those enterprises have been hard hit by the COVID crisis.
IIRC, exclusively tablets. I seem to recall Google saying while they wouldn't prohibit phone use, they we're going to help manufacturers with it and that they'd have to wait for Android 4.
Thanks for your reply I really appreciate the advice. I think I will eventually need to be a C-corp.

Is it a real hurdle to transfer an LLC to a C-corp?
What I want to know is whether it actually changes fresh food consumption all that much.

Sure a black market would be worse, but why not just regulate it. Government shouldn't have an incentive to ensure that gambling exists and remains profitable which they do so long as they're running it. Government shouldn't be directly engaged in the business of any vice for that reason.
Haha, for sure.

Curious about the age of the person who supposedly wrote it in 6 minutes. If you're fresh out of school, "String.contains" may be top of mind, but the vast majority of people never write that function in practice, so it's easy to not think about.
Perhaps the key is that possession and attacking are not actually as connected as it seems to the casual observer. If you get the ball back in your own box, are you defending or attacking?

My problem with the tiki-taka is exactly what you describe. Pass it around but do very little, wear out everyone's patience while you wait for a gap to open up. Even recent versions of Barca and Spain have felt this way at times, the difference between doing it positively and negatively seems to be pretty razor thin.

This hasn't been really put to the test yet, has it? What's the cost of labor delta compared to the places where outsourcing from China would be attractive currently?
>> Yes. Supply of PBS quality content is a solved problem.

With good curation, sharing, and sleuthing -- I find the educational content on YouTube to surpass anything+everything even at undergrad college (minus social and minus interactive language classes.) I also used YouTube extensively to supplement grad school course materials, with great success. I realize not everyone learns this way, but many do, and it is freely available now.

While there may be a demand side problem, that can be fixed with better curation facilities. Legislation might not be able to fix this, but it can sure as heck hurt it given some of the current rhetoric.

Unfortunately, if "big tech" is treated as a single entity to be enforced, we'll end up doing something monumentally destructive like losing YouTube as it is now (which I consider an international cultural and educational treasure w/o exaggerating.)

Netflix has one of darkest UX patterns hidden in plain sight. Or not even hidden maybe.
The Nintendo comparison is missing some nuance as well. Nintendo was a gaming company that got caught in a war between the two giants Sony and MS for total control of the living room. For Sony and MS, gaming was just a single division that they were willing to take losses on or invest heavily then wait years for payback due to the consoles filling multiple strategic objectives. MS and Sony dumped tons of cash into developing their 3rd party game libraries where Nintendo relied on their in-house development to seed their consoles with games and make most of their money.
> not that i would invest in bitcoins (or any crypto), but i don't see it as an obvious ban. The only reason i can deduce from your "obviousness" comment is that proof of works "wastes" energy. But then it is hypocritical to argue this when other modern conveniences also "waste" energy, and yet you don't call for a ban.

While other activities may be wasteful, proof-of-work is waste distilled almost to its purest essence. It's literally a race to see who can waste the most. There's really no comparison.
I donno why you're being downvoted, it's a questionable decision and probably the company would have been better off with Python/PHP/Node. Hiring and onboarding are extremely important for a startup. You know what else? Finding answers to common questions on Google/Stackoverflow; I am now working with Ember and can tell you guys you take a 50% productivity hit by using a tool that's obscure on Google. Sure once you become super familiar with a tool that matters less, but that takes time. Much more time. React/Angular may be an inferior tool to Ember but the fact that you can get answers to almost any question is priceless. The community size is super important. The frameworks are super important (is there a Closure equivalent to Rails/Django/Laravel in community size, in battle testedness? I really doubt it).

That being said, I salute these brave companies for sticking to these obscure languages. Do we want to live in a world where there's only 3 languages to do everything? Even 10 sounds boring. Hell, even a fantastic tool like Ruby is considered Niche in certain parts of the world. I don't want a world without Ruby so I don't want a world without Closure.

I don't see how the fediverse solves this problem. Fediverse nodes are no different than websites with respect to information distribution.
I think some of the difference is coordination and spread.

I suppose some gossip could be intentionally malevolent but it's generally not coordinated across multiple mediums and groups.

People also don't generally don't print watercooler gossip out on posters and hang it up in public around their town or state.

Patterns that cause less harm in some context can cause more harm when they're being used by those wanting to intentionally spread misinformation, and when it's much easier for that information to spread to millions of people.
It's much easier for Israel to justify investing into "hard" tech that accelerates military power because they are surrounded by ideological enemies and are perpetually at war.

> Doesn't it intuitively seem like the life by definition would evolve out of any particular niche - say 1,000 Kilometers under the surface - to other areas?

Other areas that are similar, sure. But if you're asserting that we can be confident there are no subterranean mantle-creatures because we don't see any wandering about out here, I don't think it's a good argument, for the same reason we can't go down there ourselves and look
The intention is first to support teenagers. Usual culture and meeting places for teens have been closed because COVID-19. Even libraries...

Edit to answer your question: the framing of the question was 'we gave them money for 'culture', they bought comic books'. Expecting any other outcome would be counterintuitive if you've ever met teenagers. Cinemas, concerts, librairies, indoors activities are all closed. They're supposed to stay home and telecommute to high school (WTF?). General reaction was 'good', 'manga are culture too', 'who could have seen that coming'.
It's illuminating (and equally harrowing) to see how much of the fundamental technology we have today has been researched and invented by the military (the Internet is one prime example), in stark contrast to the widespread belief among today's SV techies that free market innovation is what's driving the tech.
It's a little late to stop considering comic books as a part of French culture. Asterix has been sold worldwide to 350 millions copies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix

https://www.hoodedutilitarian.com/2014/03/asterix-and-the-bl...

I guess they are unhappy about teens buying manga? Real question is why French comic book artist aren't selling in Japan? There's a lot of Japanese tourists in France, that doesn't sound too far-fetched.
Yeah, was thinking the same. Although a bit limiting as it's only domain names.
How this plumbing is expected to be implemented? For example Cloudflare Warp uses Wireguard for its VPN solution, but all key exchanges and other stuff happens via HTTPS REST calls. Is it expected for any non-trivial implementation to build a different "control" protocol? For me it sounds like a dangerous approach. While wireguard protocol will be safe and audited, those additional proprietary protocols will hinder cross-platform usage (for example you had to use reverse-engineered Cloudflare Warp implementation for Linux until recently and I guess that BSDs will use it forever) and might expose security vulnerabilities on their own.
> Why are you and the guy below trying to use debian ... using old kernels and drivers with newer hardware and then complaining things aren't smooth?

The blog post mentions I was using Debian Unstable btw.

Using a different distro wouldn't have gotten me a newer kernel at the time of when I wrote that post. The post was written in Jan 2019 and I was using Linux kernel 4.19 back then which was about the latest stable Linux kernel at the time. I think 4.20 might have been out but in either case all of my hardware was around for years prior to that kernel release.
FYI: Marissa Mayer was sidelined at Google because one of the founders was told that the site "couldn't be changed in less tha 2 weeks." In order to avoid outages, too much process was adopted. So he stepped in, and she was put in charge of only contract staff. Then on to Yahoo.

> When we feel we have it rough recognizing that others may have it rougher lends a perspective that leads to gratitude and less self-centeredness.

Sometimes, for some people. For some people, when they express their feelings, and the response they are met points out that others have it worse, they sometimes feel worse. It can sometimes feel like a dismissal, invalidating their feelings and experiences. I'm using qualifiers here, but I personally think most people want to feel validated.
> The philosophy of Lisp encourages writing your own libraries because it's so easy to do. You're expected to know how to program if you use Lisp; not to depend on tiny prewritten functions in the npm universe that may or may not solve your problem, that may or may not be written in a secure or efficient fashion, and that possibly pull in a million transitive dependencies you don't need.

Some people love to point out how stupid JS programmers are because of the left-pad incident.

The reality is that, in almost every domain, there are many things which are either difficult and/or time-consuming to implement, or common across several projects and tasks. Do you really want to waste your own time and the time of your teammates reimplementing these things for every project if you don't need to?

Even if the underlying implementation is "easy", having a handful of well-tested libraries with thoughtfully-designed APIs is important for productivity in many (most?) programming tasks. Yes, there might always be a specific case when you can't use the popular library for X, but that's the exception and not the norm.

"It's easy to write your own libraries" is true in any professional-grade language. Arguably it's one of the things that makes a professional-grade language professional-grade. It's not a justification for having a bad library ecosystem, it's a rationalization.

As a side note, I think the Lisp library ecosystem in 2021 is pretty good, considering how unpopular it is in industry.
No because if this was true, then we would see carbon based life do the exact same process in reverse. However, there is a limit to adaptability, particularly through the dumb and highly stochastic process of natural selection.

We have no evidence of a void ecology in near earth orbit or of life persisting close to the Moho barrier - where the crust meets the mantle. There are hard limitations to the encroachment of life that only technology or radically different chemistry can circumvent.

The same hard barriers might also mean that life on Mars is largely constrained to those few underground liquid water lakes that we have recently found evidence for. Keep in mind that even the most barren deserts on Earth have several orders of magnitude more water present in the air than on Mars.
Right. Do this and you'll never be able to find that single machine that believes it's on a 100mbit line instead of 10G and keep wondering why every X user has a problem.

Monitor both, please.
Sure, pre-Android devices dropped support shortly after you bought them, but they were often still functional. Disabling Google login on an Android (non-AOSP) device effectively bricks it for most users.
What proportion of C++ code is "modern"?
Honestly who even knew this existed in the first place? It dates back to 2005 and at least as far as appearances go, looks as if was never updated since.

Makes total sense to have (the tiny number of) users transfer their bookmarks to a service that's actually widely used and supported.

People might have good reason to criticize Google for shutting down some things... but in this case it's absolutely the right decision.
Isn’t dollar tree the only dollar store? Dollar general is just a mini Walmart, right. No one dollar prices involved.

Also how weird that a one dollar store can exist in any kind of inflationary economy. Prices have doubled from 20-30 years ago, right?
While it's technically not a fungus, I had my first experience with Fuligo septica, or Dog Vomit mold. My wife were gardening in the late evening and went inside as it got dark. About an hour later I let the dogs out and this yellow mass was in the mulch, probably about 6x5" in size. We assumed it was vomit from a racoon or something, but figured it out when it grew back the next day (in two spots this time). I would remove it every morning, but it would grow back for the entire week in different spots in the mulch. It was fascinating, but incredibly gross and kind of creepy!
To the modern net-addict human, a non-functional cell phone is a horror all by itself.

No not anymore, the Linux kernel even doesn’t support the 80386 at this point.

i386 is kept as the arch name, but the baseline has went up.

Jessie needs at least a Pentium, and Stretch needs an i686.

The purpose of Maybe is to explicitly represent the possible non-existence of a value which in Haskell is the only option since there's no null value which inhabits every type. The existence of the monad instance is convenient but it's not fundamental. The type of getConfigurationDirectories could be changed to MaybeT IO (NonEmpty FilePath) to avoid the match but I don't think it would make such a small example clearer.
I thought the same! A funny exchange on the merits of subsidizing highbrow entertainment like opera vs lowbrow 'mainstream' industries like football and films.

One of the great successes of Intel has definitely been establishing their processors as the default optimization status quo. Beyond the scheduler, compilers also optimize (by default) for Intel instruction latencies and pipelines.

One way to remedy this would be to ship more distros with march=native as the default. You only need to specify the architecture when you are building binaries for distribution (which mostly happens on CI servers these days). This would result in better perf on not only AMD chips, but also newer Intel chips.
> Nobody is saying you can't write good C.

I would say that, honestly.

Or at least: I don't think anybody can reliably write non-trivial programs in C that 100% of the time avoid the kinds of memory-safety bugs that Rust protects against at compile-time. And that's what matters. Humans are fallible, and everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

Okay then, let’s consider an alternate scenario then.

Let’s say that you’re a bystander at the fire, and you watch the firefighter rush into the flames. You walk up to your neighbor, whose house it is engulfed, and you ask, What are they going in for? Your puppy? to which your neighbor responds, Actually I have a really sentimental baseball glove that my dad gave me when I was a little kid. I couldn’t imagine losing the glove, but the puppy I could take or leave.

Would you understand the position, and agree that it’s better to safe the glove because it has more value to the neighbor? Or would you be appalled that your neighbor is opting to let a sentient animal burn to death in order to save a baseball glove? Albeit, a very sentimental one.
