This is fine; but still it hurts me to think that an open protocol of HTTP[S] and friends is effectively accessed by a single client at core. Yeah it's wrapped with different toppings by different vendors, but deep inside it's one client.

"Evidence of something" means "I can prove something with this data and I'm 100% sure about that this happened".

The phrase "Evidence that Vikings lived in North America by at least the year 2021" is not justified by the data shown in the article.

There are several assumptions scattered on the paper that are taken as evidence but are simply wishful thinking.

For example: "All the three samples had the same age. Statistics say that this wouldn't be probable so is not salvaged wood and a man should have chopped it. Evidence"

Using your math bodyguard to support something that can be disproved easily with logic or empirical observation is putting style over substance in science. It happens all that time... and is deeply wrong.

Do you want to know what I would call go to a place and finding 100 trees that died in exactly the same day of the same year? I would call it a flood. A wildfire. A plague. A storm with strong winds.

Botanical knowledge and observation of the real world teach us that mature trees die often in clusters by natural causes and that when a tree dies their neighbors get more exposed and increase its probability to fall in a domino effect also. So the authors assume (wrongly) that the samples are independent and end with a weak conclusion. Wishful thinking.

This is just one of the problems that I spotted in the article and not even the worse offender

I'm not saying that vikings weren't in America in 2021. I'm saying that when you scratch a little the article does not prove that. I'm sure that this year will be token for granted as true without critical thinking from now on because, hum... fits in the narrative.

The problem probably is that some external information is simply taken for granted by specialists on this field (and I'm not one of them), so we can't evaluate it. It happens often.

That's correct. It's about the ecosystem. If you want to run Linux, you don't care about the ecosystem. That person's definition of "most practical things" is going to be very different. For me, using Reminders, Notes, Photos, Messages, and FaceTime across my iPhone and MBP is very practical. I've witnessed amazing gains in the integration just since I got into Apple machines in 2017. My work bought me an iMac in 2011 and I hated it.

And yes, it's that portability through incredible battery life that is the other advantage. I've owned many Windows laptops and the Dell M3800 that came pre-loaded with Ubuntu, and none of them came close in this regard. All other laptops I have used needed to be plugged in for most use which does severely limit portability. This does not. It also doesn't get hot. The fans never turn on. It's a game changer.

A Rust optimization story
As a developer I never had much problems building systems in multiple locales. I think on the web this was solved over 15 years ago when UTF-8 became mainstream.
Over 10 years ago I built a webapp with over 20 locales without much trouble. This included ltr and rtl.

I think the biggest problem with any application is that designers always use text and images that fit in their design. But this is not the reality. I think developers can improve themselves if they understand this.
And also: developers can improve themselves when they don't build pixel perfect according to the design but know how to make it look good when texts don't fit the design.

If both the designers and developers know about building text-flexible applications they will have more value for the company they are working for.
A design should be seen more as a style guide. The end product must be better than the design.
I carry between £30 and £200. I aim to have about £100.

I have a single debit card, and a credit card I haven't used for years (I always failed to pay it off at the end of the month). The reason I carry cash is in case my debit card stops working - suspended by the bank due to suspected fraud, card stops working in card-readers, bank decides to close my account without warning or explanation.

£100 should last me a couple of days, in which time (hopefully) any problem with the card should be resolvable.

I don't carry shrapnel any more. I don't use cash in shops, unless they have a minimum card spend (then I have to carry the shrapnel change home). COVID has led to many shops having a preference for card payment, so I comply.

Perhaps I should peel off all but £30, and keep it somewhere safe at home. But I'm not afraid of being robbed in the street.

It is great in French too. The style is a bit dated, but the thought is very clear and easy to understand, and it's a fun read.
Can we stop calling things "modern"?

We're talking about the web. A constantly changing, bubbling soup of protocols, software, ideas, and practices cobbled together with duct-tape and spit. The word "modern" has no meaningful definition as it doesn't belong to any identifiable point along the timeline.
Next door, in Norway, the Norwegian bank is quite clear that accepting cash is required for every shop and failure to do so will be punished (unmanned kiosks and vending machines seems to be allowed though).

I'm actually in favour of that, not because I fear my current government but because it

- is convenient (much better than gift cards)

- feels good to be able to buy stuff without telling my bank and Google and who knows who else what I buy

- the banks reason is because it might be necessary in emergencies which also seems like a really good reason.

I use emacs and git, and never got on with magit. Not entirely sure why, but here's a braindump:

- I generally dislike layers on layers; while I seriously hate the git UI, I'd rather learn that, as it's a more portable skill, than learn another UI, that relies on emacs and a package installed. First thing I do on e.g. a new cloud instance is clone a bunch of stuff, and often work on an under-setup machine for a while. For similar reasons, I don't use shells like Fish, which, nice as they may be, funnel me into something totally incompatible with good old sh. Bash and zsh, as far as I use them, are compatible.

- I work in tmux, and emacs in terminal, the overhead of switching to a terminal and typing some git stuff is tiny.

- I tried magit and just didn't get it. I couldn't couldn't find a happy path where I thought, "ah yes this is niice".

Here’s How a Prop Gun Using Blanks Can Still Fire a Fatal Shot
If it's for a consultancy and is described as "Location: London, UK with some travel" what they mean is potentially "small village anywhere in the UK", if you have a family so you can travel back for weekends or if you're young and single, "Ashgabat, Turkmenistan or other exotic location where we need non-local boots on the ground" because that's what everyone above you was "apparently" prepared to do to get the wages they're on.
You don't need to be anonymous. Legal tender Gold coinage in the UK is free of capital gains tax, so even if the spot price goes up 1000% you still pay nothing to the tax man on sale.

For this reason alone lots of the extremely wealthy hold it as a hedge.

At volume the premium over spot is about ~6% even straight from the Royal Mint

As a militant antifascist, i still find it interesting to have some reactionary perspectives to balance the dominant narrative. Some historical examples:

- abolition of slavery in the USA was not perceived by many (former-)slaves as social progress, but rather as legitimization of a new form of "wage slavery" where your master doesn't own you, but you owe them for food and housing... moreover, prison slavery is still a thing in most countries which do not recognize workers rights for incarcerated people (France, USA, etc)

- Hitler apologists point out that US army atrocities (during and after WWII) have been mostly erased from history books; on the other hand, Hitler's atrocities have been reduced to the eradication of Jews, whereas queers, handicapped folks and tsigans (among others who have also been eradicated) are barely mentioned if at all. Hitler is also "caricatured" as a genocidal freak, failing to represent his earlier figure which is a lot closer to many of our "presidents" across the globe than is comfortable to admit. After all, Hitler was presented by the media and industry (his biggest supports) as the candidate of reason and property against unions and marxists/anarchists and their rule of the mob

- Daech and other reactionary muslim militant groups insist on the atrocities of Western "democracies" to justify their own; these imperialist atrocities are never acknowledged by eg. France/USA who pretend they're on armed humanitarian missions against barbarism and patriarchy (an argument for colonization which dates back over a century!). This invisible spot in western worldview ("let's fix human rights with more bombs") leaves plenty of room for Daech to recruit young disillusioned folks who know their government is lying and killing innocent civilians abroad

Overall, i think any propaganda slips through your brain and leaves traces, just like any form of advertisement. So i can recommend as a general rule of thumb to never read neo-nazi/patriarchal/capitalist propaganda. However, when you're studying a precise topic, i believe getting points from all sides (not just two, as you pointed out) is an important practice that can help you develop a better understanding of the issue to overcome your own conditioning.

Especially in Global North republics who pretend to be democracies (but don't have any democratic features [0]), it can be hard and painful to acknowledge that our governments don't recognize or respect any of the fundamental rights they so eagerly accuse other nations of infringing on, that all political parties and corporations running the show are delusional maniacs, and that no "human rights" NGO will save us. Sure we all have human rights in theory, but practicing them would be considerably better!

[0] No, electing overlords every few years is not a democracy. Those electoral systems were precisely (historically) designed to prevent democracy which was seen as a danger to the 18th century elites.
An Examination of Linkrot and Content Drift Within the New York Times
Unfortunately, it's pretty slow on macOS, as well. I love Magit, but there are times when I feel like it's hindering me more than helping due to the performance.
Intel has had trouble with deadlines over the past few years. So I'd expect that delayed by 6-12 months.
There also are new application libraries (torch vision, audio, X) being released together with 1.10: https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-1.10-new-library-releases/
They changed their branding. Their 10nm node was renamed to Intel 7, their 7nm is now Intel 4. Since amount of nanometers doesn't really mean anything anymore that's good PR strategy that nicely represents state of their nodes because density on Intel 7 and TSMC 7nm is pretty similar anyway.
Ok, let me try.

I prefer IntelliJ's git interface.

Magit can do everything IJ can, but in IJ, I can find how to do things more easily and it just feels easier to do things, probably because it's much more GUI than text compared to Magit. For example, difficult merges are extremely easy in IntelliJ, I can edit code in the diff view itself while I resolve conflicts... in Magit it requires getting used to the different diff views, something I am still trying to figure out, but it seems trickier to do "in-place" changes in the code.

That said: I probably only prefer IJ because I've been using it much longer than I have used Magit... and the difference for me is very small, so I suspect the more I use Magit, the more the gap will close and I may eventually like it even more than IJ.
You can, but it will be worth it for you to spend a little effort to learn the basic buffer, window, and cursor management keystrokes.

My 12 year old uses magit as a git interface and nothing else in emacs. That’s not a great testimonial as it was my direction to do that, but it seems to work just fine.

The areas where magit earns outsized praise is not around a basic “pull, add and commit everything, push” workflow, but rather around being selective about crafting self-consistent but single-theme revisions. That will not be as fluid for someone with no fluency in emacs keyboard navigation, but I think I’d still find it easier than using the git command line to do it. (Hard for me to say with 30 years of emacs in the rear view.)
There is a return of "old school games". I don't mean only retro, with artificially pixelated graphics. I mean games, which are hard (compare and contrast with "keep pressing 'forward' to win") platformers (a genre that had a sharp decline as everyone wanted 3D shooters or at least 2D real-time strategies).

My favorite one (by a fair margin) is "Ori and the Blind Forest". Stunningly beautiful (visually, and I keep listening to the soundtrack over and over) yet devilishly difficult (with the culmination in the escape scenes). It has a wonderful sequel - as good as the initial (what I find very rare for games). Also, no sexist undertones.

Another one, also a Metroidvania game, is "Dust: An Elysian Tail" (a single developer!).

> You can switch Spacemacs and Doom into Emacs-mode keybindings.

Aware of this, and tried it. However much of these distributions is streamlined towards EVIL keybindindings so you don't really get the full experience. Furthermore, a lot of the Emacs keybindings have been opinionated, which again isn't bad but a little jarring.

Also the vi keybindings tend to reactivate every now and again, and often you can take a few goes to realise this as you fumble in frustration and lose your train of thought.

> It relaxes the learning curve.

Yes but you'll have a learning curve either way, and by the time you've passed it you'll know neither vim nor emacs, and you won't get to experience the joy of tailoring your own development experience nor will you have be able to make use of much of to the decades of support content that's available on the web.

As I said, it makes more sense if you've already worked with VIM and want to have the best of both worlds but even then I think you're still missing out on some of the finer experiences Emacs has to offer.
As a French native, I don't see any pun in "demi-gratuité", but I may be missing some context. "you'll get a half-free/be half educated" seems like a stretch.

> As a UK-ian I enjoyed the reference to Perfidious Albion (though note the capitalisation, as it's all a name in UK we capitalise it all but that's not French practice for such a term; this is changing in UK English though).

The name is just "Albion", "perfidious" here is just an adjective like any other. We use "Grande Bretagne" for Great Britain. Notice the two capital letters.
Apple used to sell Apple TV's for $99. It's absolutely possible to make money selling a basic 4K box with a remote for $100 or even $50 these days. You can buy random Chinese emulation consoles and streaming devices for that much where they can only be making money off the hardware.

I have a really bad back and as a result I can't really exercise. So let's say I can carry 8kg max per hand (1/10th).

And yet I'm a fully functional adult human being and can get by perfectly fine in life.

So for me from a robotics point of view a much smaller starting range is perfect, once you've built it into a platform you can start optimizing and increasing potential.

One problem with those designs is that cramming the entire GIMP's menu into the hamburger menu on top right is likely to cause more problems than it solves.

This stuff sort of works in applications with a limited feature set, such as Akira UX. I don't think it can work well for GIMP.

It's possible to find a hybrid approach, but so far, I've only seen Siril doing that, and I'm not convinced.

SICP is about execution models above theory, C and C++ is about legacy, tooling, subtle nuances and “shoot yourself in the foot or how I stopped worrying and left my job after lunch”. The specific paradigm is almost irrelevant there. If you want a job, pick what’s popular today or gains popularity quickly (as in _/). Otherwise you’ll feel trapped in boring and tedious after a while. If you want to play with low level to understand how it works (but not work in embedded tech), I’d refer to modern low-level languages like Go, Rust (not being fan of) or Nim, or Zig, and read but not write some assembler, just to get feel of the “bare metal”.

If by “fundamentals” you mean programming fundamentals, not hardware ones, practical languages have not much of it really, I mean they have, most of them have, but it is usually not their selling point or something life-changing. You don’t choose languages and paradigms in them, you choose ecosystems and frameworks that help building your solutions. Lisp/scheme already may have all the paradigms you’ll ever meet, but nobody uses them until the sun goes down.
In my opinion small government doesn't make sense because that isn't even a good target to begin with. An effective government may be small or big. The dogmatic insistence on big or small governments often bought by a less effective government which just reinforces existing prejudices.

Those who advocate for small governments tend to remove the best parts first because they are "optional". A lot of tax cuts are financed by cutting government investments which ultimately result in less overall investment in the economy.
Some merchants can deposit their cash through certain ATMs. Maybe they scan cash confiscated from criminals.
