>The idea that Nazis are right-wing is also kind of a modern conceit

Absolutely correct, if you have a right/left clock Hitler stays at 11:59 and Stalin at 00:01, they are the same. National SOCIALIST Party...hello?

Just in modern times being National means right-wing. But with that logic the CCP must be pretty right-wing.
I've built a similar project (backed by Sqlite), though it's full GUI.

At work, I work with a lot of CSVs. I often hit the limit of Excel and Google Sheets. Plus, using formula is difficult. The ergonomics around it is also not great (e.g. am I suppose to write long formula in a one-line box at the top?)

Eventually, I've decided to create Superintendent that enables me to write SQL on CSVs.

I'm working on optimizing it to be faster and faster. Currently, it can load 1GB CSV on Mac Pro 2020 within 10 seconds because it basically goes to C code.

I'm looking to make it feel more and more like a spreadsheet (e.g. click to sort, copy row, copy column, edit it directly) while giving focus to SQL writing. I'm loving it so far, but there are still a lot of improvements to be made.

If you are interested, please check it out: https://superintendent.app
Generally the US government can't compel work to be done through subpoenas. Adding a hash is probably not considered work, but writing a bunch of code is. Typically the government can only compel parties to divulge information - such as "use your existing systems to tell us which users have this image on their phone".

Forcing citizens to perform work would be reserved for something that's part of a punishment for a crime conviction, such as prison labor. This would be "design, implement, test, release a brand new system to tell us which users have this image on their phone."

There's some academic debate over whether the "all writs act" can compel work/action/speech, but that would be the only avenue I'm aware of, and it's on pretty shaky ground for something like this.

If the system doesn't exist, Apple could fight an all writs act type request. If the system does exist, they probably can't really effectively fight a FISA order/subpoena to add some hashes in.

If they had never invented it, they might have been able to tell China "its not technically feasible" and potentially convince Chinese leadership that its even true. But at this point that game is up and China could definitely compel Apple to finalize and release this.

A friend of mine had the interesting theory that this will inevitably happen some time, even if it would just be for entertainment purposes.
That has basically already happened on Windows and Mac and for good reason, so it's actually long overdue to happen on Linux. Apps simply cannot be expected to work with an endlessly growing matrix of user customizations. At some point people have to decide if they are going to prioritize on working on new features, or if they want to prioritize allowing people to change the colors and the fonts in ways that could potentially cause bad breakage. Your stance on the subject might be different from others. Since it's all open source, you can of course patch it and modify it all you want to match your priorities, and the developers have no problem with you doing that (and may even encourage it sometimes).

>https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3409

I'm confused why this was posted or why it makes you think that? Apps don't need to match the theme exactly to work, I use some KDE apps with the default theme and they work fine.

>Yeah, I know. It's pointless to have discussions, especially when the project in question isn't a community project and follows the "look but don't touch" open source model of development.

If you want to discuss technical issues to solve that, I'd love to, but I am not interested in engaging you further when you make these type of false and inflammatory statements. Your time is worth a lot more than this, please don't spend it doing these things. My point is that the technical issues have already been discussed repeatedly at length, unless you are actively working on implementing this then it seems extremely unlikely that either of us will have anything new to add. So yes, in that sense it is pointless to have discussions, but it's for the opposite reason that you're saying: the community has already had these discussions and done all the "touching" that needed to be done.
I would just like to point out without diverging or causing too much of a "flame war", that this same line of thinking is the one us Libertarians point to regarding "voluntary" things like taxes. I.e. If you asked people to voluntarily sign up for taxes, "who in their right mind would" do so?

My overall point being: To the government, this is the same. It's a power imbalance and they don't see anything different because they think they have the right. We've opened up that can of worms a long time ago and it's important for us to realize it instead of continuously living in pretend-land where we think we have a "choice" over what government does.

What’s absolutely crazy to me is how long the terms are. In most fields, 2 years is plenty of time to make bank; in a few, 5 may be appropriate, and in a few very rare cases (pharma?) you may need longer to make up the cost of experimenting in a highly regulated space.

There’s no justification for the expansive terms available now.

> Chinese doesn't have gendered pronouns, which is why you'll often hear native Chinese speakers accidentally refer to a woman in English as "he".

This is interesting because I've heard this explanation before from an international student. You still have 他/he 她/she despite them being pronounced the same, so the gendered pronouns still do exist, but the mistake of switching he/she in conversation is still commonly made.

It's not like Vietnamese where Em ấy or Ẻm (both meaning he/she for someone younger than the speaker) where a genderless pronoun is used, and yet I've seen he/she mixed up a lot less often.

> cron is a lot nicer imo.

How, exactly ?

I've been a cron user forever, I had never heard of systemd timers until this thread.

A quick internet search shows:

- Nice clean config in a file (instead of having to edit crontab)
- Lots of great features that you would have to manually implement and maintain in cron (e.g. missed launches, duplicate runs, random delay, timeouts)

I mean sure, I've got bash script templates that let me solve the problem of preventing duplicate cron job running.

But having seen how easy it is to achieve the same thing with systemd timers whilst not requiring a whole lot of boilerplate code in each shell file ... why wouldn't you switch to systemd timers ? I sure will be.
A key tool mentioned in the article is Ekahau Pro.
What are good alternatives for Ekahau? As I understand this require special hardware.

> Schools in mainland China are allowed to only teach in Mandarin, not the local dialects

This is not exactly true.

Core subjects, like math, history, and science must have a unified curriculum taught in Mandarin. However, there are language, art, and humanities classes that teach and preserve other Chinese dialects/languages.

m0zg's argument is "If it's in compliance with US law, I should be able to host whatever the fuck I want.", justified by pointing to common carrier status for telcos. This has nothing to do with Section 230.

If hosting means being a common carrier, then GNU must be forced to host non-free software, yes?

The social media site Ravelry banned users from expressing support for the US President Donald Trump. m0zg's argument appears to be that that prohibition should be illegal.

That is, it really seems like m0zg is against the First Amendment freedom of association, and not some commentary about equality of civil lawsuit liability for publishers.

Now, I'm fine with some restrictions on a businesses' right of free association, as when they conflict with personal civil rights. But what makes hosting companies so critical so as to require common carrier-like restrictions that no other (non-common-carrier) companies faces?

Non-digital publishers aren't required to publish anything not illegal they get.
My first language is Danish, but my mother married an American when I was 6. He said I shouldn't speak Danish so I lost the language, when I came back to Denmark in my 30s I had to learn the language all over again, which I still speak with an American accent.

When I began to relearn Danish I started to remember German which I spoke from 6-10 and also had a year of in high school.
If this were true, Hollywood and sports wouldn’t be seeing record low numbers. Dollars from customers remain a robust measure, even with a culturally detached “elite”.

An example is the public supporting Johnny Depp, while the “Woke” are arrayed around Amber Heard and her defamation. It turns out that the public at large doesn’t agree with leftwing misandry — and are repulsed by everyone from the ACLU to Hollywood execs protecting a privileged abuser like Ms Heard.

We see some of the same Woke abusers around Andrew Cuomo.

Your post seems to be an example of what you’re lamenting: a passionate defense of a bigoted ideology that doesn’t resonate with the general public — being “Woke”.

It’s time for leftwing fox bigotry to die.

“Child safety features” because only a monster would be against such a thing.

“For the children” is the last refuge of politicians and conmen.

So what’s the bottom line?

i’m guessing that scanning (for many things) is mandated by multiple governments, and on-device scanning is orders of magnitude cheaper than server-side scanning.

I hope this PR nightmare for Apple continues until the full extent of mandated surveillance is exposed

But it probably won’t - Apple’s mistake was in thinking that people would blindly accept this as a desirable feature, instead of just quietly implementing it.

Or, maybe Apple did it this way on purpose to expose the issue to public scrutiny.

This assumes pair-wise communication, but if you need to set up n-team cross channels then this can go up factorially (realistically it won’t, but definitely larger exponent than 2). To put it another way, thinking of teams as nodes and communication channels as edges doesn’t capture the possible complexity. It’s also not uncommon, I’ve had to work in cross-team environments where getting multiple teams aligned wasn’t just a series of pair interactions.

> most local schools don't teach Cantonese formally anymore

You probably already know the nuances, but just to be clear, schools have probably never taught Cantonese "formally" at all - instead, schools taught "Chinese" (i.e. a localized version of written Mandarin) using Cantonese. And now some schools in HK are teaching Mandarin using Mandarin.

> it's hard to find Cantonese specific written materials like textbooks etc especially for kids.

True. Please consider supporting one of the few projects out there trying to fix this problem: https://hambaanglaang.hk/

> Without that supporting academic ecosystem, it's just a oral language spoken by less and less each generation.

Cantonese has been "taboo" for various reasons. Learned people traditionally shunned it for Classical Chinese (pre-1950s) and for Written Mandarin (post-1950s). We're trying to fix that. It's crazy to think that a language spoken by at least 20+ million people never had any proper monolingual dictionary (until we made one...)

That's fine. SaaS is just a fancy way of saying the software is running on someone else's computers. They can do whatever they want with their machines, including charging money for access.

People will eventually get fed up with it and make free software that runs locally. It will take time but I have no doubt it will happen. I find this is a much more reasonable proposition than waiting the 100+ years it takes for copyright to be invalidated.

I'm rather skeptical of the scale of this issue, given how it's one doctor making the claim with no stats to back it up, and it plays perfectly into the media's stereotypes of rural Americans.

Wingsuiting is a poor life choice, given the high death rate of people who do it, but to compare wingsuit deaths of 5 deaths per year to the Covid virus that has killed almost a million people in the USA since it started - that is a weird comparison that you gave.

There are already a ton of hospitals who refuse to treat people who refuse to get the Covid vaccine, and rightly so.

And, as far as treating them, fine, but if someone comes into the hospital other then non-vacccine, non-mask, taking ivermectin - then they immediately get bumped down the list by ANYONE else who needs treatment. Let them lie on the floor against the walls in the hall until doctors treat everyone else and have time for them again.

Because these people are the same exact people that we see all the videos about - screaming and yelling in stores, airplanes, Trump rallies, the insurrection at the Capitol, saying how masks don't work or are bad. Then the bitch and whine when they get it and expect treatment, after all their toxic behavior. I have a folder where I track all the a-holes that were radio hosts who said covid is not real, and then they get it and change their tune and say it is and that they should have taken the vaccine, and now recommend everyone to take it. Sorry man, day late and a dollar short - you don't get a bed, f you. That's my opinion.
