But if we remove the theology—views about the nature of God, the creation of the universe, and the like—from the day-to-day practice of religious faith, the animosity in the debate evaporates.

Of course, then it's no longer a religion. It's a social organization.

It seems to be quite possible to overdose on religion. Some religions do that as policy, as a form of brainwashing. The religions with mandatory prayer several times a day work like that. It's really hard to break people free of that brainwashing if they grew up with it. It's not the theology, it's the repetition. Both haredi Judaism and Islam use that approach to induce some degree of fanaticism. The Catholic Church, in previous centuries, was into that sort of thing, but has lightened up a bit.
How's it not objective, though?

What if the request came from the EU or the US, to ban an account that was campaigning in local elections in violation of local election finance laws?

Note that the ban is not even permanent! It's only for the last 2 days of the 3-day voting window. Campaigning was supposed to have been illegal throughout the whole 3-day period.
Yes and in fact this is exactly what they did to Telegram for a while. But they found ways around it like those changing IPs.
I wouldn't put appimage on the same level as snap and flatpak. It's more like a random compiled .exe that you just run, it doesn't have an integrated update mechanism, you're supposed to download a new one with every update.

And between snap and flatpak, flatpak sure seems like a winner. For one, other distros can run it their own store instead of Flathub, while snap is pretty much limited to Ubuntu and Snapcraft. Even Ubuntu's forks like Mint and elementary are ignoring snap and going all in on flatpak.
Incoming connections? Why not. I have at times, it's pretty great.
In this context it seems to be something else
The lab's published research program, the lab's funding, the almost exact proximity of the outbreak, the lab's and CCP's actions since October 2019, the whistleblowers, the analysis of the virus's genome, does not add up to "pure speculation". We may never know 100% conclusively, but juries never do either.
I get what you're saying, but I don't think it violates the Unix philosophy in that way, at least not any more than any other package manager like apt or dnf does.

Nix as a package manager is made up of multiple tools that interact, such as nix-env, nix-store, nix-shell, etc.

NixOS additionally has nixos-rebuild and other commands that are layered on top of those core Nix commands.
the gig economy is even weirder when you think about it.
Uber has not been very successful (in my country) because it doesn't provide anything over the normal taxi services besides an application (that already existed in some form before they entered the market).

Uber can however, undercut normal taxi's because it has vast sums of cheap money available. This is thanks to financial engineering. Thus it is able to undercut the local economy without providing anything of value.

While it is not happening in this example, Uber could easily destroy parts of the economy because it can undercut the local economy. (Amazon famously tries to do this in a lot of countries aswell).
Obnoxious, I mean, trivial, answer: Just make "occasions" a variable. Assuming your lifetime is finite, you could simply assign each point in time to a value, and there you have it: a finite mapping from each moment to a state.
> Just the fact that "supporting linux" means dozens of distros, DEs, WMs and two display server protocols (three if you include android and four if you also include some older ubuntu variants)

I don’t think spirituality has anything to do with it. It’s about community first and foremost. We are social creatures after all.

That is, unless we are going to conflate spirituality with anything even remotely related to existential ruminations.

You know what I would really like is an editor. When I read it I'm the editor as I skip over all the stuff that's too verbose. Obviously that's a hard problem picking on what is or isn't newsworthy though.
I kinda doubt that part. If he was in their good graces again I think we'd hear more about it But I think Russia is a much bigger market for Telegram than Iran was. It's where they started after all.

I'm pretty sure that'll play a part in it too. Easy thing to throw away 0.5% of your marketshare, another when it's 20%. Ps I made those numbers up :)
It also depends on traffic patterns. For EC2 you're paying per hour regardless of whether you had traffic or not. For Lambda you're paying per unit of time used and you pay nothing when the function isn't invoked.

> The study also doesn’t clarify how a progenitor of the virus could have travelled to Wuhan, in central China, where the first known cases of COVID-19 were identified — or whether the virus hitched a ride on an intermediate animal.

“The main problems that the Institute of Virology has is that the outbreak occurred in close proximity to that Institute. That Institute has in essence the best collection of virologists in the world that have gone out and sought out, and isolated, and sampled bat species throughout Southeast Asia. So they have a very large collection of viruses in their laboratory. And so it’s — you know — proximity is a problem. It’s a problem.” - Ralph Baric

Nix is actually a very simple tool, that in fact only does one thing and does it well.

That one thing is building packages in sandboxes and adding them to the nix store. You can see that manual for Nix is actually fairly short: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/

The properties of Nix allow for everything else. This enables NixOS and nixpkgs to exist, and they have much longer manuals:

https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/

https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/

So nix does one thing and does it very well.

Tangent. The "unix philosophy" isn't very true on Linux, and hasn't been since GNU. The problem with "do one thing and do it well" is that very often you need to do more than one thing. You then need to learn a completely different thing to do another basic operation.

Having one tool do literally everything is also unreasonable. But there are natural boundaries for things to exist. It is not unreasonable for the uniq to have a count tool, or for sort to have uniq.

I've been doing this for 20 years now, so I've very comfortable with Linux/Unix tooling. But I see new comers come on. It's often easier for them to script something completely from scratch in python then figure out how to stitch coreutils together.
Biggest thing is if you’re doing a streaming tail with an * pattern, it figures it out and filters them into proper groups instead of a single blob stream.

Maybe more housing seems like an "unnecessary" environmental problem to you because you have what you need? Many lower-income people would benefit from affordable housing.

Your concern is actually pretty common among the affluent homeowners who prevent development. Probably the second most common concern behind "neighborhood character", which is really just another type of environmental concern (city environment). Very few NIMBYs are purely after money.

"Housing defies economic laws and is terrible for the natural and/or city environment" is the prevailing opinion of NIMBYs today, based on the discussions I've been in.
Interesting question, I did some searching. I guessed they might have done such research with fruit flies [1], but I can only find one plan to try it for nine generations [2]. I suspect that project never launched because of the end of the space shuttle program. I can’t find a relevant paper by the mentioned researchers in any case. All the other Drosophila research seems limited to a single generation in space.

(It seems like C. Elegans has not been studied in space to the same extent as fruit flies.)

With webpack you can use module federation to share code and reduce bundle size for micro-frontend applications. There are other ways to make your application bundle smaller.

I spend a lot of time optimizing performance at work, both for UX and DX. It is common on HN to bash on large bundle sizes of SPAs, but in reality this not a problem unless users are on IE. At work, I often work tirelessly to reduce the amount of dependencies and bundle size, but I know that this would not make things faster, just more maintainable.

For UX perf killers are IMO:

- rendering large number of deeply nested dom nodes and doing repaints and reflows.
- large data fetches and storing huge number of objects in memory.
- slow/flaky APIs, in many cases slow backend is main bottleneck, JS is plenty fast
- silly animations, bad design that force clicking and multi stage workflows.

For DX perf killers

- micro-something. Micro services/frontend in organistions without deep pockets.
- special snowflakes internal abandoned framework that only two people in company know
- lack of dedicated people for tooling and dev infrastructure
- lava layer design pattern, multiple competing technologies used within same codebase/product.
But weren't the British Empire's undersea telegraph lines all copper? They lay the first transatlantic cable in 1858, connecting Ireland and Newfoundland. By 1911 their worldwide undersea network was completed, with so much redundancy that 49 cuts would have been necessary to isolate the United Kingdom from its empire.

I ordered 2 books from Amazon last week. An email said 'delivered' but nothing in the letterbox or outside the house. A chat to a friendly neighbour revealed he had a parcel put in between his dustbins. I went to my bins and there were the books. Not pleased at this, I expect a sane experience.
To be frank, the answer is that it does cause problems for users. I've read countless anecdotes at this point from both camps, some claiming that Arch never breaks and some saying that updates have broken their install.

I personally tried Arch in 2017 for a period of a few weeks, and updates broke my system twice (in different ways). I was able to fix both issues, but decided I didn't want to deal with that. I suspect the difference between the two camps is that those who claim that it doesn't break don't consider something they can fix a breakage.
Ok, but like you say it's a mixed bag - I 'wget the file into a dir and untar it without worrying about it messing up whatever is already there', because nothing is, it's a mktemp -d or manual equivalent.
A real modern communication would be something like NATS (somewhat similar to ZeroMQ in concepts). It's quite amazing, even more frictionless than ZeroMQ.

My friend who sells $$$$$$ through Amazon says Chinese manufacturers are absolutely unscrupulous and engage in every kind of fraud, IP theft, adulteration and so forth, and Amazon mostly looks the other way unless they are really pressured or lawsuits are brought. Then the Chinese seller disappears and pops up under a different name with the same tactics. Rinse and repeat.
I think the author misses the mark about what the problem is with developer experience, although they get the analogy of a "rainforest" correct.

Developers are in a run-away-train kind of situation, where they think that more libraries, more frameworks, more tools, more languages, more abstractions, etc. is the key to a better developer experience. In reality, this is the exact thing that is making development and developers miserable. The whole `is_even` fiasco [0] should have been a wake up call.

The plain fact of software development is that there is going to be complexity, and there is going to be some point where adding features or fixing things is going to become a slog. The choice where do you want that to happen? With the never-ending reliance on libraries, frameworks, tools, etc. the difficulties has been shifted towards the latter half of development, "we'll worry about that later". Sure, the share holders and the angel investors are stoked when a team can get an app running in a few months. But guess what, down the road when it comes time to add more features, make it fast, to flesh out the app into its full potential...it will end up in a nightmare of trying to wrestle the code and the barely comprehensible infrastructure to get it to do what they want. Good luck trying to figure out what is making the app slow in that rainforest.

The best thing I ever did for my mental health when working on hobby projects was to keep it simple stupid. In the case of C++ and games, I do everything in my own code maybe using Sean Barret's header files or GLFW for Window and input. Use a .bat file to build the code, rather than some overly complicated build tool so that it can build in 2 seconds rather than 5 minutes giving me very fast iteration speed. The Vulkan rendering code, the math, system level stuff like memory and file IO is all my own. For web stuff, I wrote a production web app for an internal team in a single PHP file with only a templating library. Going this route has undoubtedly doubled my productivity. Static site generator? I'd rather write one in Python than try to figure out some complex dependency ridden mess of an open source tool that never does what I want it to do.

The pain of developer experience is self inflicted. In an effort to reduce friction in development, a system of increasingly worse friction has been introduced. Programmers need to stop being afraid of writing code, and, dare I say stop being lazy. Developers could be just as productive, if not more productive, if they would just write the code.

While anonymity may be something to strive for (I’m not going to argue that) there’s a cold reality here. They need to comply with laws to operate, and that means knowing this stuff (look up KYC, usually related to banks).

All the exchanges are in the same boat.
I've read some of your old blog posts so I know where you're coming from, and I generally agree with your comment. However it seems they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Without using a stack like this, the app deployment story on Linux is absolutely atrocious, and would just get worse.
I’m sort of in the same boat - I live in small town and it’s a struggle to explain SAAS model to some local accountants. Add crypto to the mix and it becomes a real struggle.

That said, you don’t need a regular accountant, if I may be presumptuous, unless you’re looking for bookkeeper (in my experience they just want to do taxes). What you need is a CPA - someone who can help you with managerial accounting & tax planning etc.

As for bookkeeping I’m thinking about trying Pilot [0] (not affiliated).

In My Opinion
portable air conditioners are the right tool for me. Another thing to think about is noise - it's louder for you, the consumer, than window units, but in some cases, it's good because sometimes your neighbors start complaining about the noise to their landlord if you're renting. But the problem is when something breaks. You don't want to repair a pile of metal. So a friend advised me to contact one company https://www.airconservicing.org/type-of-aircon-service/ and said they could solve my problems. It was my last hope, and yes, they were indeed accommodating.
A blame game is only sad if it was a true accident. If both the US and China were actually trying to develop such a virus and one of them accidentally released it, neither will be able to tolerate transparency because it would lead to international blame and desire for revenge.

I confess I don't know much about CMS. What is in scope? Or, what is available in FHIR? The Cures act includes all PHI plus anything that could be used to make medical decisions.
100% no.

Faith in religion is a completely different thing to believing the scientific method works. Science is self correcting. Religious faith is, by definition, the surrendering of any and every impulse to question the faith to a higher earthly authority. Those earthly authorities are notoriously unreliable (c.f. history of the Jehovah's Witness "end of the world" scenarios).

I know this is hard for religious people to understand, but if you have no belief in religious deities you can't just magic it up out of nowhere. There are people like me who simply can't believe in gods. We just aren't wired that way. I've had well meaning religious folk explain to me that I have apparently "hardened my heart" against (their) god and I need to stop doing that and he will sort it out but it simply isn't true

This certainly hasn't stopped people like me being involved in religions but it makes it a bit...difficult. This attitude that somehow the atheists in the community "do not want to put any efforts in" is wrong, plain and simple. There is no effort we can put in.

I'd argue: whether using a stack like this or not, the app deployment story on Linux is absolutely atrocious. There are people in this thread who say they're never going to use Flatpak, some for valid technical reasons, others for more ideological reasons. And that remains the case, no however flawed you or I might think those reasons are.

So if an app developer wishes to reach those users, they can't rely on this stack to do it. You could ignore those users, sure, but at this point, why are you making a Linux application? It would be much more attractive to deploy on Windows or Mac. If you're trying to convince people to make Linux applications, you need to make it attractive and painless. But you can't solve social and cultural problems; problems of ideological differences, no matter how much you try to patch around it with new technology.
> burning pain sensation is in fact a mixture of both cold and heat pain

Well, to be fair, this did happen. People today are better informed than ever. It worked so well, that classical media was (is?) dying. But what people forgot to mention was that money will still drive society, that people still cannot know everything and make failures, as people also will still manipulate others for whatever reason.

The world has become better, but it still remains flawed. After all, nothing will ever be perfect.
