Take a look at abstract art. There's no requirement that a creation resemble the creators in any recognizable fashion. If we're a simulation, we have no idea if we're the creator's equivalent of cave paintings, baroque, modern, anime, surreal, noir, dadaist, cubism, any if it.
Government effective authority does not come from accepting its role as arbiter of morality, but it comes from people belief in the system of laws and government, beliefs about who is or should be given superior powers, like tools of mind control (schools,media) and matter control (police,army).

Of course one can think of oneself as being outside the power of government, and that is very powerful. Then some principles such as human rights are naturally seen as inalienable and independent of what any government says/legislates/enforces. Such independence of thinking and actions from the government is sometimes a highly moral position, like when people in Europe helped hide and save Jews from Gestapo.

But morality is not universal, people have different views, and the government and its tools are still there, they can threaten and hurt people. So many will usually choose to comply with the government restricted version of human rights, as long as it's bearable.
I know this is what the up-vote button is for. But I do want to add a redundant comment appreciating this explanation. It explains this adequately in three short paragraphs.

The second paragraph is worth expanding from a little. As it can be argued that fear of anti-antisemitism among the left is well warranted. A good example of that is Jeremy Corbin constantly being accused of anti-antisemitism for criticizing the state of Israel for their human rights violation in the last UK general election (a tactic that perhaps worked given the lousy performance of the labour party). Even Bernie Sandars—a jew himself with family ties to holocaust survivors—gets smeared for this reason.
I_like_ writing CLI apps in Python, and for various reasons haven't been subjected to the packaging woes, but I think execution latency is an important thing for CLI tools, and I've had enough Python CLI tools spend most of their time (a user-perceptible amount) loading modules that I prefer less dynamic languages for tools that aren't completely trivial.
If you can't prove that you probably shouldn't make such unqualified statements. There is plenty of proof for the opposite, afaik none whatsoever for the reverse.

Personally, I didn't know anyone doing graphics on them. They were for pure text usages: programming, point-of-sale, etc. I think that's the reason they eventually died out: It wasn't people were giving them up, it was the home market taking off and people wanting color for games, photo editing, etc. People that worked on computers all day, were still using and loving their amber displays.

I was still using amber Wyse terminals well into the 2000s...Its like the old joke: Would you rather have a Wyse display or a 3270 keyboard ?

While some normal credit cards theoretically offer temporary/limited cards as a service, the software/support is so bad I've never been able to make it work with my existing cards.

Interesting. I live in Wisconsin. The upper Midwest is thick with mosquitos during the summer. I wouldn't think of not having window screens on my house.
Maybe its just people are working too much, leading to lower output due to not being fresh. I just wish we could try different things, a 4 day workweek, or a day off every other week and measure productivity. Where I have a hard time is we have a problem but we are changing nothing. Microsoft Japan has showed that a 4 day workweek improved productivity by 40%, so maybe less is more -

Also given that tech has almost fastfood levels of turnover cannot be great, people constantly leaving and knowledge being lost and the intense time sink of training new hires and interviewing not to mention recruiting and scouting out new people is not helping any productivity. Pay people decently, don't work them into the ground and watch your productivity jump. Very simple.

How do you address font engine rendering discrepancies among OSes? IIUC those discrepancies are a good reason most SVG export features convert everything into paths.

Fun story-- awhile back some troglodytes living somewhere in the Linux font stack tripped some switch in their magical rendering engine. Whatever the change was, it caused even a mono-spaced font like DejaVu Sans Mono to have a significantly fatter width. So pre-trog Ubuntu perhaps would have X width for "Hello World This Should Fit Perfectly An SVG Rect" at size 10px, while post-trog Ubuntu would have X+7.

For my SVG-based UI, this meant I had to do a startup feature test for pre or post-trog Linux and scale the font accordingly on post-trog machines to make sure it fit properly into the box.

But honestly, I don't think you could do any kind of feature test like that with impunity. E.g., if the user created a page with no visible border lines drawn at the right edge of the text, they'd probably be surprised/irritated that the text is slightly scaled in a feeble attempt at cross-platform compatibility.

Anyway, all these problems go away when the fonts are converted to paths-- the user simply sees static output based on the rendering engine on the dev's machine.

Edit-- but of course if you convert to paths, you don't get text and text selection. Nevertheless, converting vector graphics output to SVG-with-text-content is not actually WYSIWYG, and that subtle truth will probably come back to bite your users.
It was not the fact that they were black. It was the fact that, as a black student, I was not subject to the same warped expectations that I found common while taking higher-level courses under some of my white teachers. Not every white teacher was like this; however, I did notice, particularly in my AP courses, that many were less supportive and understanding of black students who hit periods of difficulty, and more disciplinarian in their regard. I'm unconvinced that American pedagogy in general has shaken off the inclination to view students of color as un-growing children to be trained and tamed, rather than growing thinkers to be taught and empowered.
> Presumably plenty of the code is specific to Windows.

There's some code specific to windows but way less than you might think.

> Docker/Linux works by using various features of the Linux kernel to, well, contain, containers. As I understand it this is in contrast to BSD Jails and Solaris Zones, where the whole job is done 'officially' by the kernel.

Yes, that's techincally true, but doesn't really matter much to the discussion at hand at the end of the day. In all these cases (including if solaris zone/freebsd jail support was added to docker), docker has the same amount of work and it looks very similar. The containerization features of linux are absolutely significantly more ad hoc than NT, solaris, or freebsd, but at the end of the day a complete user space component for managing those containers has the same amount of work, and that work can look very very similar. The difference mainly comes in

* What happens for an incomplete container managing daemon. When Linux presents a new resource to be containerized, it's historically been a new interface and needs support in the container managing daemon like linux to be forked off of the root namespace or something. The systems with a cohesive concept of container have a better chance of by default breaking that resource away from the root namespace without configuration. A complete implementation in both cases requires manual config and setup.

* Linux's containerizing features can potentially be split and used in ways not originally intended. You can sort of see this in clone(2) as well. There fork and new thread have been coalesced to the same syscall, you just provide a bitset of resources to share or not. Share nothing? Pretty much a fork. Share virtual address space, file descriptor table, tgid, etc? You've just created a thread. Because of that you can do real neat things like sharing a virtual address space but not the file descriptor table if that's useful to you for some reason.

At the end of the day, it's more or less the same work for docker regardless of the mechanism used to push the container's config to the kernel.
Isn't this just something everyone has already know for ages?
if I grant you a right to privacy - what can that possibly mean to you

But you do it all the time. If someone tells you something in confidence, you explicitly agree to respect their privacy. If you sleep with someone, you implicitly accept that the other won't broadcast the shape and size of your genitalia to the world. If you run into an acquaintance in public, you implicitly agree not to broadcast each other's whereabouts to the entire world. What's so difficult about the concept of privacy?

at what point do a bunch of people become a government? What is the magic number?

That question makes no sense: the magic number, if it exists, is one. If you want to fully understand why, you probably should pursue a multi-year education in international law.

government does not have greater rights than individuals

Governments don't have rights at all, so this is true. Governments have sovereignty and mandates instead.

[government] does not determine morality

Indeed it doesn't. But it does formalize and encode morality, in the form of laws. So rather than railing against this law as if it violates your tummy, maybe you'd be better served to understand the morality of the society whose government is drafting this law?

The government illusion is powerful

This is why you are downvoted, I think: you are expressing your feelings about government from a state of perpetual learned helplessness. The very idea that "the government is us", which is the core concept of democracy, seems alien to you. I know that this affliction (the feeling of not having a say in how your country is governed) is particularly prominent in the US, but it gets a bit old and trite to see commenters spouting their dysfunctional relationship with their own government onto every story, as if their traumas are universal truths. It's just noise, and adds nothing to the discussion.

Yes, eBay is atrocious. I was banned based on my IP, along with all my family's accounts a few days later.

It's an automated system. Customer support will say the equivalent of "it's a secret" why you were banned. Yeah right it's some dumb batch job.

Save yourself feeling abused. Don't bother trying to fix it. Waited 6 months and created a new account.

Another time I sold an item and shipped it. The froze my account. Same "it's a secret" bs. What did work for me was contacting the Better Business Bureau. That got me answers, months later. It was because I shipped the item before the Paypal payment had cleared.

eBay is a shitty company. To the extent this is the future of software, we a f-ed as we get older. These systems are going to chew us up and spit us out.
>>yes, and the reason was the fuzzy-blurryness of color display technology at that time, and the fact that those in the industry were already used to monochrome displays and had workflows and settings adapted to monochrome. Once color display quality became high enough, monochrome demand completely evaporated.

Eh? no one had color back then.. You had monochrome - you just got to pick which color you wanted: white, yellow, amber or green.

And I never saw monochrome demand 'evaporate' - I saw lots of new people come into computing in the 90s that wanted color for games, photo editing, whatever.

edit: what I mean is, there weren't enough of us 'text only' people to make it worth while for manufacturers with the armies of new users coming in with games, gui's and all that

It is helpful! Annoyingly, there's some site-to-site variation in how companies structure results in their Workday instance. I get similar (but not identical) results when I look at NXP's Workday site, for example:

Unfortunately, text-substitution macros (like CPP) pretty much force a source file to be treated as a stream of bytes. They can be handy, but delimited macros (e.g. like Lisps) are much less invasive.

Right now I'm trying to decide exactly how much information I should store in my knowledge base. There's a balance to keeping the base small enough to actually find the information needed and avoid it becoming a huge bloated mess.

For example, I keep separate Notion pages for each programming language I use. I also recently started learning Rust and have built up a page that includes even basics like how to declare a variable. The idea was it can exist as a beginner guide and someone can run through it relatively quickly and get a jist for the language.

But if I keep using the language, that information may eventually become obsolete (since I'll have it memorized) and will probably be a waste of space. Then as I advance through the language, I'll want to take note of more advanced concepts and maybe even some specific use cases of problems/solutions to code I'll have written.

I guess that's the beauty of editing a knowledge base over time. You can edit it to conform what's in currently in your head right now. So maybe in a few years from now, having those simple variable declarations will be a waste of space and I'll just want advanced topics covered.

Or maybe I'll walk away for a few years and need to look up basic syntax again.
FWIW, my comparison was against a one year old MBP.

I’ve had a range of MacBooks (2013, 2016, 2020, 2021) and it just isn’t a competition. The M1 is head and shoulders above the other models in battery life.
Oh, absolutely! It's fantastic; Valve and Steam regularly do things that The Shareholders would never allow.
I've been using GitHub Issues for this for the past few years, and I absolutely love it.

Each of my projects has issues. If I'm fixing a bug or working on a feature I open an issue for it, then I post a stream of comments as I figure out the details, make decisions, find examples of code that I need to use and so on.

I have my own private notes repository which I just use for this for things that don't relate to a current project and that I don't want to publish yet.

I add a "research" label to my repos, and open research issues for ideas or for things that I want to explore that are relevant to the project in some way. Recent example: https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/344 - researching STRICT mode that was just added to SQLite, and seeing if it would make sense to support it in my sqlite-utils library.

GitHub's issues API is comprehensive, so I have a cron that exports all of my issues and comments into a SQLite database that I can access with Datasette. I have a private one with all of my projects, and I also run a public one at https://github-to-sqlite.dogsheep.net/github/issues with just the issues from my public Datasette-related projects.

I use search against these often. I occasionally even re-discover old notes from Google searches, which include the ones from my public repositories.

Many of my issues have dozens of comment replies, all from me. It's a great way of keeping a log.
This is really cool! Great puzzles.
> Personally, I didn't know anyone doing graphics on them. They were for pure text usages: programming, point-of-sale, etc

Sure, and it wasn't until VGA that color displays could match MDA text quality, in theory, with the right display. But even then they were much more expensive.

>> As long as they do the debasing competently...

> This is a contradiction in terms...

No it isn't. For instance, I can see carefully controlled debasing (e.g. inflation) as motivation to put money some use rather than sit on it, for instance.

> Bitcoin promotes hoarding no more than gold does. And speculation no more than FX or commodities trading does.

Maybe gold promotes hoarding too much, as well. When you get down to it, it's also questionable to tie your money supply to the availability of some arbitrarily-chosen commodity. Do you want deflation until someone discovers some big gold deposit, then things swing inflationary? Bitcoin seems even worse since it's designed to be deflationary, since people will irretrievably loose them and at some point no more will be made.
Peertube, Patreon, Netflix, Sky.... do I need to list more?
My take on what this study is trying to show:

Imagine giving two doses of a strong laxative to the general population.
Everyone is exposed to covid.

Statistically you could show that those that have been twice laxidated did better against covid. But, what this ignores is that the laxative is a fitness test of sorts. If a 70 year old survives two doses of a strong laxative, and did not die, they're not from the weakest subpopulation.
Then they should just write that, but they didn't, either consciously or subconsciously.
> But if you're looking for a "how to" tutorial, dislikes and comments are the only way to quickly sort the good from the bad.

This is the "edge case" (not the best term for it, but whatever) I'm talking about, but I still don't really buy it. There are a lot of signals for how worthwhile a video is going to be, and frankly I'd rank likes/dislikes as the least useful one, mostly because they provide no context and aren't normalized to the video's view count.

If we see an epidemic of amateur electricians getting zapped, etcetera, I suppose YouTube will have some egg on its face. But somehow I don't think that's going to happen.
There was a data-center that recently sent out an alert for a rather amusing sort of non service impacting issue but something that you'd want to warn anyone who'd need to visit about. I decided to leave a 5-star review that said they were great except for a comically worded reference to the issue and included a screenshot of the issue notification. Same story, only shows up when I'm logged in. I assume I used some key word that their AI didn't like.
you need to take advice with a grain of salt. Python is fine for CLI tools, just like Go is fine for them. If you know Python, that weird statement in the article was not for you.

And which is elected in such a way that it is unlikely to represent the will of the people; it represents the will of the constituent _states_ (kind of). Which, where one has a powerful federal government, is a rather weird setup.
Yeah that's kind of my point. The idea of syntax based source control is nice in theory but in reality it's just wishful thinking with the kinds of languages we use.
Abortion is a right. It's been established as a right since before the precious gun rights Americans are so fond of. So if protection of those rights can be enforced at the federal level, so can the protection of the right not to be forced to go through with an unwanted and potentially dangerous pregnancy.
