>> you don't see people dying on the streets from the vaccine

https://infiniteunknown.net/2021/11/22/ron-johnson-leads-exp...

'Statistically insignificant' until it affects you.

>> Do you have example where they actually force you to get a vaccine like George Washington forced his soldiers?

Is this a genuine question? Do you not know? Both government and employers have numerous mandates in many places now and thousands of 'essential workers' have been fired already.
Is the American education system federally run? I'm guessing not. Is it run at a state level? And then how much sway to subdivisions of a state have? (Counties? Towns?)
I've noticed the same. For example, for Rust embedded Hardware Abstraction Libraries, I had to abandon the existing ones and start a new one: The existing ones were missing features, had bugs etc. I initially attempted to fix them with PRs, but couldn't get anything merged due to complaints such as those in the article! It's as if the maintainers would rather have a sparse debate over the course of months trying to get things perfect than fix the problem or add the feature. If you don't like the code style of the PR, just do the fix yourself. It would be a lot easier than arguing!

It was easier to start fresh than get PRs merged. This happened even for clean kill bug fixes.

For my own projects, my bar for merging is "Does this improve the project". If there's a code style issue I don't like, I'll merge, then make the change myself after. If it's an idea I don't like, or determine is out of scope, I'll state clearly that I have no intent to merge it.

Sometimes these are an issue of available maintainer time. Eg, the maintainer may be busy, and doesn't want to dedicate time to a project. So, you end up in code-style debates, where response take weeks etc. It's mismatched expectations between maintainers and users. Or if the maintainer doesn't have time to test or evaluate a change in all cases, a conservative call is to not take the risk of unforseen consequences.

Overall: I also agree with the points others here make about the owner-maintenance burden of PRs, no obligation to merge code you don't agree with, validity of safety concerns etc. It means you need to treat these on a case-by-case basis. In the case I outlined above, it would have been preferable not to fragment the embedded Rust OSS community by introducing a fresh HAL, but I had to to meet project requirements.
There's no option to donate to a specific project, though. As much as I'd like to support Firefox, I do not want to support any other shiny projects that they'll kiff of in a year or two.
We are in drastic damage-limitation mode. Every option is unappealing. Many will result in mass suffering and death. Pick one. (And yes, the current strategy, 'doing nothing', is picking one, probably the worst one).

The above strategy at least has the benefits that 1) it is fair 2) it will actually work. Incidentally, 1) is also the reason that it will never get implemented.
I have had similar conversations with elementary school teachers and principals in Texas. All family members.

I think it's the same story everywhere now. No one knows what to do to resolve it. Teachers no longer have sufficient means to provide an effective education to our children.

The school boards and layers of governance have all but stripped the actual educators of any autonomy that may have existed. Using decades of experience to deal with nuanced situations is not a thing that is allowed anymore. There is some strict procedure for everything, and if you deviate the administration will make your life hell.

The solution is probably a blend of: pay teachers more, give them more autonomy, banish smartphones in the classroom, more accountability for abjectly-shitty parenting and a reduction of our total obsession over standardization of outcomes.

If we could only fix one thing - Every teacher I talked to would rate the smartphone as the #1 reason for lack of engagement in the classroom. Even if they arent using it at school, being on tik tok with your friends at home until 3am every day has the same effective blast radius.
Oh, I am sure the lessons learned are well worth the risk.

> I think many developers treat PRs as an opportunity to gatekeep

Well, it is your project or your team's project. It is entirely legitimate gatekeeping.

Questioning that is the bad side of the "social coding" touted by Github. IMO "social-anything" is like the Force in SW, it is easy to fall for its dark side if you don't keep your emotions in check.
I would like to disagree, in my experience eventing/cqrs are wonderful solutions to a set of problems (specially where event by event playback is a primary functionality). In most other cases it’s overkill and maintaining a snapshot of state, which like you said is inevitable even in the event log case, is imperative.

There are just too many scenarios where not having transactions is dog slow or really really unwieldy.
Except who actually pays the tax? Energy consumers, which is anyone who needs electricity or fuel for their household.

You just don't see it in the explanation of why your electric rates went up 50-100%. Or, if it doesn't go up, you start living with brown outs and blackouts like California.

Well according to you the invasion of Iraq was actually legitimate because Iraq was a “state engaged genocide of its own people”.

Of course when most of this was happening right after the first Gulf War ,when Sadam was killed ten of thousands of Kurds using both conventional and chemical weapons US sat idly completely ignoring it. And this is basically why the 1st Gulf war was considered a success compared to the second one.

Learn about urbanism because you'll have to choose many places to live. Don't get drunk and then lose the next day because you have a hangover. Learn to read books on your laptop (I like amazon cloud reader with OLED laptop), so you can have less physical stuff to move. Learn at least one crowd-pleaser meal so you can invite people over for dinner. Buy assets. Switch jobs every year (its a dumb system but this is how you increase your pay).

> What do you mean?? Literally, you could redistribute billionaire/millionaire wealth and it would be more useful than taxing the average person tens/hundreds of euros more, when they can barely afford to survive.

Most of that wealth is stocks of companies that only exist because they serve needs of billions of people that are not rich. If you redistribute the wealth (so - who owns the stocks) - you don't change the emissions because the needs of billions of people are still there (in fact - you will probably increase net emissions because now more people have money to spend) and companies will continue to try to satisfy these needs to earn money. And emit CO2 while doing so.

If you want to reduce the emissions you have to stop these needs from being satisfied (or invent magic tech). Redistribution of wealth (while reasonable for other reasons) - won't help with global warming.

Side effect of cutting CO2 emissions is that these companies lose big percent of their value, so wealth of everybody drops, but that's the least of our problems.

Another thing is - significant part of the world is just now achieving living standards considered bare minimum in the west. That's more than billion people that will double their CO2 emissions soon. If you cut the 15% of emissions caused by top 1% to 0 - it doesn't matter because at the same time 20% or 30% of world population is increasing their emissions by 100%.

We have 2 issues - life is unfair (and to fix that we need to tax the rich), and global warming (and to fix that we need to tax CO2 emissions, no matter who cause them). The end result will be that everybody but the poor people in 3rd world countries will significantly lower their living standards.

What will actually happen is probably that we just tax CO2, so everybody living standards will drop. Or we do nothing and we all suffer the climate crisis, mass imigrations, starvations, wars etc.

There is plenty of deception in e-commerce.

Personally I’m offended by false availability and delivery dates. For example, that time when Amazon said it would be here tomorrow and it was really a week and a half. That’s the difference between getting it online or going to Target.

The UN is only as strong as the countries supporting it.Isolationism and nationalism weaken institutions like the UN. And we've seen a fair bit of that in recent years.

This article is about Ethiopia, not China. The issue on the ground there is complex and includes decades of war, and behind the scenes pressuring of a lot of countries. Including the US. And China which stepped into the power vacuum left by former colonial powers and the US withdrawing from the continent in recent decades. Like it or not, the Chinese are running the show across much of Africa now. They have controlling financial interests across the region.

Part of that has been supporting the current Ethiopian government (i.e. the very people accused in the article of preparing for genocide) as part of a negotiated end to previous wars in the area. That regime has been responding to an uprising fueled in large part by their policies to marginalize and oppress the people of Tigray.

That uprising has been unexpectedly swift and violent. Part of the reason that the Ethiopian government is mobilizing and arming citizens is that they are losing ground rapidly and starting to panic. Addis Ababa is a big city and it getting sucked into the conflict is now a possibility. That would not be a good thing; no matter who you support. The people of Tigray just want their independence and freedom from oppression, and now indeed genocide. Hard not to sympathize with that. The way out here is diplomacy; find a solution. That probably means replacing the current regime in Ethiopia. The alternative is another prolonged conflict.

With conflicts like this, following the money is a useful exercise. Both sides must have some financial support. Follow the money and you might end up with a short list of usual suspects. Proxy wars have replaced conventional wars. If genocide happens is it's because of conflicting interests between those.
With aeropress, the brewing is more manual (you control how hot is the water, how long you keep it brewing, etc), which has its pros and cons. So you can make really good coffee, or really bad coffee.

But one thing where aeropress shines is cleaning. I'd use my moka pot more often, purely for consistency without effort, if it was as easy to clean as aeropress.

I do, but the techniques are different. Adjacency list are the primary tool. But there is generally a lot less normalisation. Keep related data in the same item or next to each other in the list. Sometimes you over-fetch and filter for the data you need client-side.

There are a lot of uses for "@", most of which come from Bourne sh or from ksh.

I assume that you refer to the "${PARAMETER@OPERATOR}" type of parameter expansion, which is mostly used to either replace invocations of tr for character conversions or to provide quoted strings.

You are right that this kind of parameter expansion is specific to bash and I was wrong when I have said that there are no bash specific parameter expansions. "${PARAMETER@OPERATOR}" is the only exception that was introduced by bash and which has not been taken from the Bourne or Korn shells.

I have forgotten about it, because I do not use it, precisely because it is the parameter expansion variant that is provided only by bash.

The section titled ‘Criticism’ in the Wiki is a good starting point.

The allied victors made laws then retroactively applied them.

Why was there so little reflection, consequence or punishment for allied murders, rapes and killings?

Why were these new laws only applied to the loser?

The Nuremberg trials have been described as show trials and organised lynching by the victors. The Soviets provided a judge who had helped oversee purges in the ‘30s where hundreds of thousands were murdered by the Soviet state. While the defendants perhaps got what they deserved, they did not get a fair trial or the opportunity to voice inconvenient truths.

The sentencing was unequal and illogical - why did Speer get the sentence he got?

The Wikipedia process is still pretty good last time I checked?

There was a notability challenge in en.wikipedia on Olavo de Carvalho, a Steve Bannon type who wrote some philosophy books (like -- on Aristotle and Epicurus) as a younger man (and keeps getting his "philosopher" self-nomination challenged because he didn't go and get a college major in philosophy). I was for keeping the page, but on balance I think the process, arguments and result were fair -- even if almost certainly carrying some underlying political motivation.

We have to focus on the process. It's the only way to general axiology.
I think the initial fast spread can be incidental, a super spreader event. But if it has lasting ability to displace other variants, especially across multiple countries, then it is likely just easier to spread.

Basically superspreader events can artificially boost a variant for a bit -- it is basically noise. You need to look at a longer time frame to be sure.
> Has anyone ever politely asked a question about something and been sent to detention?

To be fair, it happens. It takes some time till abusive teacher is figured. But, it does not happen nearly as often as ideologues like to claim it does.

The kids who get in trouble in school are way less likely to be critically commenting on world history and way more often interrupting the lesson with completely unrelated remarks. Or are just not handing in work done at all. Or just stay mute when asked question.

Wait, so, you're going to start with Prussia's rather, shall we say, statist education system, and completely ignore Britain's similar industrial age education system? Why focus on Prussia, not Britain?

Did Prussia really influence US education philosophy more than Britain did? I find that a bit hard to believe.

Love this "source" in this paragraph:

Ask HN: Was Your Turkey Dry?
I am not sure if it's something about the turkey itself or the ways generally employed to cook them, but dry turkey seems to be a common theme of discussion among people during thanksgiving. Although, it might also be my own biases that makes me think it's a common enough issue. So I figured HN would be a reliable enough group to ask if they have run into this problem/ found their own unique solutions.
