> SystemD has something of a reputation for being a bunch of arrogant young engineers making fundamental changes to the long established status quo in order to solve clever problems that range from tiny-minority-edge-case to non-existent.

Now, I wonder what could be the reason for that? Maybe because some people just trow out unsubstantiated accusations and hearsay as matter-of-fact? Maybe. Who knows.

Any grammar is surmountable, but the languages that are truly hard are ones which have sounds or consonant clusters that your native language(s) don't. For example, learning Georgian as a native English/Italian speaker.. I could hardly even say basic words like "forest" (t'ke), "water" (tsqali), or "frog" (baqaqi) for the first few months.

> code review

You shouldn’t need this. The commit message should clearly explain any non-obvious changes (and ideally there should only be one). If there is a historical context, the reviewed commit message should include it (including links to past commits in whatever repo hosting service is used).

> refactor

If there is a refactor the reader can skip past the change in blame. This does become slightly more complicated when code is moved between files, but most repo hosting services make this fairly easy.
"Blacklisted by History" (2009). Deep research using primary sources -- government records, declassified documents, transcripts of hearings, contemporaneous reporting -- to refute the myth that Joseph McCarthy was guilty of, well, "McCarythism."
We're no longer talking about the subject matter, but there is absolutely value in knowing whether an opinion is informed by expertise or not. I did not "appeal to expertise", I merely signalled that I had expertise in the field. This has value.

I suspect that a small minority of Hacker News participants are biochemists/biologists/life scientists, so the default assumption when you read comments on these topics is that they probably come from smart non-experts. By adding this extra information, I wasn't making my argument any better: I was only providing the readers with extra meta-information.

I won't bother explaining the dangers of the appeal to authority, because I am persuaded that you are already familiar with the fallacy. However, I will say that not every form of "expertise signalling" is an appeal to authority, and it is usually a very good idea to defer to expertise.

I recommend this article on the subject, if you're interested in seeing where I'm coming from: https://thelogicofscience.com/2015/03/20/the-rules-of-logic-...

Edit: and I will happily and readily admit that I am not the "most expert" person on any subject, and I myself pretty much always defer to the expertise of those who are more expert than me.
I don't think most people cash out and move to the forest where the consequences of their actions never reach them.

Because of the mass recording of our society, I actually think a reckoning of some sort may happen. At least, future generations will have quite the magnifying glass to judge our actions.

> I would feel extremely comfortable banning those head coverings from all universities, if not all public venues...From our point of view, allowing religion to exist is treating it with tolerance.

If saying "either stop adhering to your religion or you cannot go to university/exist in public" is tolerance, what is intolerance? Is everything short of prison, internment camps, torture, and execution tolerance in your point of view?

Also, if a government tells religious people "we are going to make your life very difficult, but you should really be thankful to us that we are not outright destroying you", they should not be surprised when they don't end up being thankful and instead vote for the other guy. That's one of the reasons Erdogan is now in power.
If you look at how it's described in, say,

If you think that JPMorgan is equally likely to steal your money as some small scale local bank, I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree here. I think the historical evidence is super clear on this point, not to mention the incentives.

The probability of any counter-party in any context choosing to screw you over is proportional, all else equal, to the size of the assets of yours they can steal, relative to the size of their stake in continuing to operate in the community. If a bank has $1mm in assets and you have 100k deposited with them, it's much more worth their while to steal from you than if they have $1bn in assets.

Now, those are not the only factors that impact the probability that you get stolen from. The institutions of the society in which they are embedded matter as well. But holding those institutions constant, i'd argue this is the primary factor that matters.
Good old chaos-east-1
Computational Linguist here (by training, though not frequent practice) so I had to work through Language Acquisition courses in the process.

Children learn language by necessity. They cannot translate needs and desires into meaningful results if they don't. Once they have the basics, they learn a lot more from peers (preschool) than parents: Adult speech patterns differ too much from the simpler language model of young children so it is their interactions with other young children where they learn pieces of each others' models. Pieces that they don't easily receive from their parents' speech patterns. Vocabulary explodes when they hit preschool even though parents and older siblings may speak to them just as much. This is first-language acquisition, and I hope it's obvious that this is an extremely simplified and incomplete explanation. As a side note, COVID is really screwing with this process for young children who are now far behind in this process. Research has shown that language delay can have lifelong impacts.

SLA (second language acquisition) has many interesting aspects beyond what I can explain here, but I will say that the ease of learning-- all else being equal (a very important caveat)-- source language and target language play a large part. Languages that share similar phonemes tend to be a little easier, ditto for syntactic structure. It makes the exercise a bit more about mapping lexical entries in one language to another, along with learning declinations. Going from a non-tonal language to a tonal language is harder, though interestingly musicians may have an easier time. Conversely, tonal to non-tonal may be easier. Also interesting-- speakers of tonal languages tend to have higher rates of perfect pitch.

True bilingualism-- learning two languages from birth-- is its own separate category of language acquisition. It's not uncommon for the learner to never quite learn either language as well as a single language learner. However the process, and learned facility for code switching, carries it's own cognitive advantages.

Once again though, all of this is a highly simplified and incomplete explanation. There are plenty of very important factors that I'm leaving out here-- my comments here are probably biased towards those aspects of language acquisition that I find most interesting.
A company here is Switzerland was working on detection of covid via coughing with an app and another one via breath analysis. This was last year and I haven heard anything since.

These things are very hard and I don't think we will see such devices quickly without a major technical breakthrough.
This distro still has drivers, it just requires those to be libre too. Every linux driver written (and also firmware/microcode) could be included, but that would require those to also be licensed as libre. It does not have any more technical restrictions, only legal and licensing ones.
One of the most transformative features we added to the D language was Ddoc, which is a documentation generator for functions. It has a modestly standard format. The result is it applies significant pressure on the coder to add the Ddoc comments, and a routine change request review of a PR is "please add function ddoc comment".

Before Ddoc, the D standard library was inadequate, totally wrong, or missing entirely. After Ddoc, it became reasonable (though no documentation is perfect). Further improvements were an ability to actually run the example code in the Ddoc comment as a unit test.

The end result is the entire documentation of the D runtime library is generated by Ddoc from the source code.

I've been binging JWST content and definitely recall John Mayer saying in at least one interview that 344 single points of failure was as low as they could get it. And I can believe it. If you watch some of the more detailed interviews, he always stresses how every design choice was heavily labored over and reviewed.
Greed and lust for power. Doesn't need to be malice.
Music not being available due to licensing stuff isn't really a Spotify issue, sometimes (like the Garth example above) rightsholders won't play ball no matter what. And the original comment was clearly generalizing, no one is expecting literally every piece of music ever to be available on Spotify.

So if we're going to be pedantic, you can add local files to Spotify on the desktop app and they will sync to your phone, so technically you still can listen whatever you want on Spotify.
The problem is knowing what is "good enough". It comes with experience and, if you're doing something new to you, I think it's hard to assess.

A rarely mentioned part of her work is the small book Salvador. She wrote a fair amount on the horrors in Central America during the 1980s, many of which were backed by the US government.

I've not found a good heuristic for saying "no". Most issues are valid issues. I can see the benefits, they might even benefit future me.

The hardest part for me is actually saying no, because it's never that black/white. I might work on it later because I want to help. I might stumble into a use case where I now need this feature and then do it. Someone might make a PR. But each "open ended issue" is still bandwidth, brain capacity, effort.

Yeah, seeing how the poorest fare is the best way to judge the development level of a country.

Indeed, if you're wealthy, you're gonna be living great anywhere.

But look at the poorest people, are they homeless? Do they struggle to afford food and electricity? Do they have the means to get to work and back? Health care? That's the true measure of a society imo.

I'll also add that in this case the buildings may be old and look straight out of a post apocalyptic movie, but they can be quite liveable inside.

And there's more space and green stuff around, compared to the newer (car centric I'd say) blocks.
Did you know much about the PT field beforehand?

It seems to me that really successful entrepreneurship requires enough time in that field to really understand the rough edges of the domain, but not so much time in the field that you actually start to accept the existing solutions as “good enough” in a sort of stockholm syndrome.

You need to be an expert with a beginner’s mind, which is extremely difficult.
"Folks need to come to grips with the fact that email security is dead and hosting it yourself doesn’t fix this."

Sort of, but not entirely true ...

If you run your own mailserver then users of that mailserver can send and receive mail, to each other, without traversing a network. The mail never goes out on the net. That can be valuable/interesting.

This is true in both the webmail use-case (the text goes to the browser, ephemerally, encrypted with SSL) or the terminal/console (alpine) use-case (the text goes to the terminal, ephemerally, encrypted with SSH).

There's a certain cloud storage provider I know of whose internal / intra-company emails have never traversed the Internet ...

I think it doesn't ask for length because it would increase the chance of mistakes happening. You don't really need to pass the length "manually" because its encoded in the value already. Not sure what you mean by offset, but you could just index with a range probably (ie `bytes_buff[n..]`), but that won't work for Strings (because they're internally encoded as UTF-8, but you could use `.chars()` and then the iterator methods on it to select which part of the string you want to write).
I agree. It's all about what you're protecting yourself against.

I'm protecting myself against malware and insane ads and arbitrary tracking from every site I go to.

I accept that my ISP knows what sites I go to, because I'm not running a full time VPN. For many sites, just the IP address is enough to infer what you're going to.

I agree though, if someone goes through the effort of setting up pihole, it isn't too much further to set up cloudflared and have DoH or something... then only Cloudflare knows what sites you see!

The only reasonable argument I've heard for this NFT nonsense actually goes something like this: Let's say there's an indie game developer who doesn't believe in DRM, and they sell you a game. What have you actually bought, given that you could have copied that game from anywhere? Why did you buy it?

Answering these questions, then answering them for NFTs almost makes it all makes sense. I say almost because, of course, they don't need a fucking blockchain to do any of this.
