The Case for Route Attributes
A comprehensive guide to go generate
I'm personally playing with the idea of starting a blog, not a book, in the mid future. I have tons of unpolished article drafts laying around.

On one side I'm painfully aware of the work required to write useful texts and the monetary incentive is almost non-existent. But what motivates me is to finally take a leap to try and be competent at writing in English, which is not my first language. As of now I'm terrible at it and I feel having a real project that people might consume in some way might be the best way to really learn that.

Secondly I think being able to communicate ideas clearly in an engaging fashion is very beneficial for someone in our field. Writing better documentation, clearer code, comments and specs all depend on that.

A book is a different undertaking all together in terms of scope and polish, but my guess is that the benefits might be in a similar category.

Like any SSRI, Fluvoxamine can cause permanent sexual dysfunction.

SSRI should not be used unless their potential benefit is greater than the potential risk of permanent sexual dysfunction.

Even short term SSRI administration can be very uncomfortable and lead to short term SSRI discontinuation syndrome.

I know doctors treat SSRI like „let’s try, might help, can’t hurt“ candy, but they really shouldn‘t.
This is a pretty good overview, even shows the "secret" bar in the basement! Thanks for sharing this, takes me right back to my memories of visiting a couple of years ago. I pretty much had the same "ooh, ahhh, wow" kind of reactions as the people in the video. :o)

Wonderful place to visit, I'll go back there on purpose given half a chance.
I think the point of the article is that they don't have to catch you in the act and don't have to implement anything special at all.

You can be as careful and as smart as you like, it won't help you.

It's more of a problem in pure text apps rather than the Web. For example, in editors (not the rich text ones), console, interface elements. But yes, it is a problem for people who knows (or learns) and uses multiple languages at once, e.g. English, Chinese, and Japanese.
>I think it’s fair to say that Apple was more responsive, faster, with someone like Jobs.

Only partly. Apple under Jobs sold a completely unusable mouse (the infamous "hockey puck") for years simply because it looked cool. And it took them ages to move away from the butt-ugly skeuomorphic design in IOS. Only after first MS went with flat design and later Google got the design language of Android right, did Apple throw that out.

>And it’s hard to point to anything recent, except maybe AirPods Pro and recent software releases, where Apple really knocked it out of the park.

Uh, IDK. Considering how first the M1 and then the derivatives rocked the world of CPUs, I'd really disagree. The ripples of that really rocked intel and might cause quite drastic changes there.

Me, personally, I was looking at buying either a Dell XPS or a Framework laptop next to run Ubuntu, but considering the latest MBPs, I will buy one of those as I really love quiet machines with great displays.

The sea is full of ships with 1000's of containers full of goods.

The warehouses are full of goods and have containers sitting around in the lots or on the streets, also full.

Where is the lack of supply exactly?

I didn't know about this, but can't help to think this sounds like a bug in unicode to me. If these characters are different then why does unicode assign one codepoint to them? Wasn't the promise of unicode to exactly not do this kind of thing?

Can this be fixed? New character code for ambiguous characters could be assigned, of course this would require manual conversion (with knowledge of the variant) for existing data, but at least it would make this issue go away moving forward (and unconverted legacy data would be "just as bad" as it used to be, so no loss).

If you mainly deal with 1-3 languages on a daily basis that you have mastered, you don't routinely search for "How do I do xyz in P". Maybe if you're a junior or intermediate developer, or have a poor memory. But doing that frequently is a clear indicator that mastery have yet to been achieved.

It's not wrong or bad to search for help, but it doesn't indicate mastery of the language you're using.

Official NASA press release

That is true, but I think (or hope?) that if in the unlikely event my country was under an oppressive, fascist regime that I would do my best to resist and undermine it in any way possible. Who knows whether that would transpire.
That's extremely interesting, if not depressing.

So, if I have to display user-entered text (usernames, posts, comments, messages, form data, etc), and I want to do The Right Thing™:

- I cannot rely on user locale, because it might be set to something generic like English, or the user may be bi-lingual.

- I cannot rely on location, because the user may be traveling to a different CJK region, or somewhere else altogether.

- I cannot set a single lang: attribute for the whole page because it'll be wrong for the other two languages.

- The string alone is not sufficient to identify the language because you can write valid sentences in different CJK languages with the same codepoints.

- I cannot have a per-user language setting, because users may be bi-lingual.

What does that leave me? A dropdown list "C/J/K/Other" besides every single text field?

I'm chucking this on my pile of examples of software development being hopelessly broken by design, along with "unix time is non-monotonic and discontinuous at random" (hint: what's the unix time exactly 1e8 seconds, ~3 years, from now? Answer: it's up to the astronomers[1]!).

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time#Leap_seconds

Edit: actually, even the dropdown list is insufficient because it only allows one language per string! How is a Japanese user asking for help learning Chinese supposed to write?
Ok, so you want to roll back globalisation and in-source as much as possible into the USA (or any developed nation). Making a lot more stuff in the good ole will employ tens of millions of people right? So, how many unemployed have you got to build those factories, make the equipment for them, run logistics and actually staff the factories themselves.

Well, most unemployed people are only unemployed for less than a year, because they are between jobs or have just entered the job market. So how many long term unemployed do we have to help us recreate the Chinese supply chain for the US on-shore? Well, before the pandemic hit that was barely over a million people. That's hardly going to substitute for 80 million Chinese factory workers, or even the subset of them making goods specifically for the US. So where are all these workers going to come from?

Then you have the fact that in-sourcing all that manufacturing will cause costs to shoot up. Everyone else in the US, including these workers too actually, will be paying a lot more for their goods. No more cheap products from China.

Then of course current on-shore manufacturing that depends on parts from abroad are going to get their supply cut off, or the costs of those parts will rise making their products uncompetitive internationally.

Result? Godawful mess. It might be possible, at exorbitant cost, on on-shore some manufacturing, but as many who have tried this found out it's incredibly expensive for very few jobs and the knock on effects can be worse than the benefits. This is why the USMCA is almost exactly the same deal as NAFTA with a few relatively minor updates, the effects of which have been negligible. It turns out more fundamental reform would have, for example, cut the legs out from under US export manufacturing relying on steel and parts from Mexico.

If you want to protect an industry, or subsidise it that has a cost. Those costs have to be paid for by somebody, somewhere, and that turns out to be ordinary citizens as every attempt at serious protectionism has found out.
Well, occasionally they give presentations describing their hardware infrastructure. And you can deduce something from their documentation about available VM types.

They can also execute post-install or post-update scripts. And indeed, Linux package managers aren't as fancy as Windows Update is, but that fanciness isn't something I miss.

My distro's package manager probably breaks my system if it loses power during an update. Even so, it's been one of the more reliable and pleasant to use programs I've encountered.
> Han unification have been a huge mistake, to save a few thousands

This is my exact problem with Unicode. I've very grateful for the efforts that they have made in the past, but the change from "spare valuable codepoints at the expense of causing ambiguity in text" to "assign a new codepoint to every cartoon permutation of intangible nouns" is infuriating.
Assesing 7 promising substances to determine which one if any does anything and getting 30% effect on one and no effect on the rest is p-hacking?

Also if I read correctly they got >0.60 not >0.05
So it's possible to modify the skin tone of emoji but impossible to disunify CJK characters? There are RTL modifiers for Arabic languages, it's impossible for CJK?
It shouldn't be harder than existing unicode handling.

RPMs have delta updates
The world's first *truly* plug-n-play login form
> Linux and BSD have had this for ages.

Fedora/GNOME prefers to install updates during a reboot. So although most updates can work this way, it's not always the case.

There are some minor cases where a reboot is better, or where an update requires a bit of work. E.g. Firefox updates, but also I sometimes have that video playback suddenly breaks (not sure why; kernel/mesa/something). Only a reboot seems to fix the video playback and it happens in various applications once it breaks (Firefox, mpv). I install the updates via dnf via cron/systemd (forgot what I did), so not with the suggested reboot and so on.

I do appreciate the Flatpak bits, those update easily.

How does that compare to other approaches for generics? I know that you can do monomorphisation, which usually increases the executable size and compilation time, and usually gives faster code, but I don't know about other approcahes.
> Not everything is a simple linear effect. There are all kinds of interactions that do not have a simple linear correlation between the amount of cause and the degree of effect.

That is true; on the other hand, you can't just say "complex interaction" and still call this a consequence of climate change when the causation is absolutely unclear beyond "less water = warm = bad". It might possibly be, yes, but the fact that 2019 had a lot of water (when climate change was arguably worse since there was no dent in emissions by lockdowns) needs some explanation.

> But discounting the idea just because the river didn't slowly get lower over the past decade or two is not reasonable

The grandparent explicitly asked whether climate change is the reason in this specific instance, neither I nor they doubt climate change in general (I assume). And if your observation doesn't match your thesis, simply saying "complex interaction" is not sufficient - in fact, it helps skeptics, since they can - correctly! - point out holes.
What, you think you've been living in real-time all this time, exercising free will?
Is there a reason unicode doesn't have such a builtin lang tag? Similar to right-to-left and left-to-right it could help in displaying differently otherwise identical text.

It could be stored in-band with the text with little changes to existing systems. The only change would be on the presentation layer, and if the tag were to be a non printable character, it would be backward compatible. An input device could implicitly tag input texts depending on the default lang.

You need some form of sanitization, but you need it for right-to-left and left-to-right already.

So when I started at college, I took a freshman lit class. So first week, the professor assigns a book for us to read and report on. So I read the book, which was "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" by Carré and turn in my report on it.

So then instructor reads and grades our book reports and returns them to us. So I'm expecting all her markup to be related to my review of the story content. So I was surprised when I saw that she struck out the work "so" in my book report. So I can't remember her comment but it was something like "unneeded" or "trite". So I thought about that, and reread the sentence without the leading word "So" and found it clearer, not as cluttered and less pretentious.
Re: lang="jp"

My experience with web crawling is that the use of the lang-tag seems inconsistent at best. To make matters worse, sometimes content is straight up mislabeled, although Japanese sites often helpfully declare that they are using the Shift_JIS charset rather than UTF-8, which is at least somewhat helpful in figuring out that it is Japanese.

This can also be a problem in chat app. I used en-US on windows (which defaulted to the zh variant) and someone else used ja-JP and I was wondering why the character was different. Took a while to notice that we were seeing two different things on our screens.

We also have a website about a Japanese game using a Japanese font except for 0x9bd6. The font's 0x9bd6 is the CN variant and its 0xe001 is the JP variant of 0x9bd6. Fun times.

Like others said, on the web, you pretty much have to manually assign lang to every single thing. We just added support for CN/TW/KR text. I should come back and check 0x9bd6 in the other versions ...
This is such a big deal for both web2/web3 devs and nocoders.

- Both ^ have the option to tap into the potential of the rapidly expanding blockchain industry.

- Web3 devs get a familiar and seamless web2 login flow + key mgmt cause Magic has native compatibility w/ blockchain.

Please let me know when a reputable study that undergoes peer review in an established and respected journal reports that the drug does work as their fans and militants claim.

Until then, keep in mind that "alternative" in "alternative medicine" stands for "hand-waving". As the old adage goes, alternative medicine that works does have a special name. It's called medicine.

Well, all valid consensus algorithms are guaranteed to eventually reach agreement, but it's not possible to guarantee about deadline in an asynchronous, distributed environment.

However, in practice, we don't want our system to stall forever waiting for consensus, so a timeout is often used to terminate the algorithm.

We still have these issues in e.g. Hebrew and Yiddish, Arabic and Persian, and tons of adapted Cyrillic scripts from ex-Soviet states. Not to mention Northern-European accented vowels, and cedilla letters such as Ç.

I'm personally of the belief that the accented and cedilla characters should be exclusively stored as combining character pairs, even if modern keyboard mappings require only a single keypress. My own language stores every character as two bytes (at a minimum), so the storage aspect is a solved problem.
This issue with Han Unification was a big reason for stalled adoption of Unicode/UTF-8 in Ruby for years. UTF-8 by default came to Ruby after 1.9 where they've added thorough support for variety of encodings, so that UTF-8 is not the only option.

I once heard someone suggest that creating mirror-prions out of mirror-proteins might one day be a safer way to study prion diseases, since an accidental leak wouldn't be able to trigger the misfolding cascade on the researcher's own proteins, since they're not mirrored.

No idea if this was meant seriously, but it simultaneously sounds reasonable and terrifying...
Han Unification started in the 90s when computers were big, memory small, UTF-8 did not exist and people were trying to fit all characters in a reasonable amount of codepoints. Today with variable-length encoding of UTF-8 and video streams over 5G, supporting all variants as distinct codepoints, and patching text search and sorting with more "normalization" algorithms would not be a problem at all.
