Privilege as a concept, and acknowledging what privilege one has, is what we’re discussing. The particular phrasing is less important than the idea, and that appears to be the disconnect.

Use whatever phrasing you want, and it doesn’t have to be politicized. But when describing an experience, and particularly when trying to provide advice to others to do similarly, or when trying to glean information from your experiences that might be applicable to others… yes, check your privilege to see how said privilege may not apply to others’ lives.

That is all. What we’re discussing isn’t, at its core, a “hot-button political topic.” You are making it that.
I don't claim software development couldn't possibly be spiritual. Just that the comment was not earnest.
It's subjective. I like my Win 11 installation much better than 10. What I (still) miss though, is a tabbed Windows Explorer and some more polishing here and there. The Windows terminal and WSL2 work great. -- This said, my main computer runs Pop!_OS and Windows is only used when externally required.
Yeah, what if? Your serial key would be in the chain? No, it won't, then everyone can access it. Ubisoft has the power to revoke a serial key, and they want to retain that right. I also want them to retain that right, as I want them to ban cheaters (or hellban them in an underworld together). I just don't want them to unrightfully delete an account with games attached (inactivity is a bad reason).

In other words, you tell people "no, you don't get to go to college/university". The US doesn't do that.

And yes, there are free and/or very low-cost colleges in the US. (https://www.sjcc.edu/ is under $1,500/year.)

The fact that some people choose to go to schools that cost and then can't afford what they spent doesn't change that.

It is interesting to look at what many of the people complaining about not being able to pay choose to study.

Perhaps we should have told them no.
I can't believe even a fractional percentage of customers would find it useful to have wireless interaction with a disposable single-use test kit, compared to reading the result off of a passive testing strip. It would've been reedemable if they had sold the strips as a separate replacable product so that the electronic device could be fully utilized.
very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Correct. Android Auto – itself - requires Play Services. Regardless, support for Android Auto gets OSM a brand new market. If they support CarPlay (and MirrorLink, if that’s still being put into cars), better still.
Usually not too long after waking up I listen to a podcast that brings up topics that I feel are relevant to me as a Christian.

During the day depending on how you look at it

- nothing much happens (I go to work, come home, do chores, try to get a little bit extra work done)

- or, this is where most of it happens: I go to work trying to be the person I'm supposed to be, taking note if I fail or if I'm uneasy to improve it.

When I put my kids to bed I pray like I was taught: the Lords prayer or a free prayer, making sure to both include their points as well as some broader points: as written I pray for the government and the ones I am supposed to respect (English is not my first language and this is a rough translation).

On Sundays I go to "church" although it isn't always a church house, the important part is meeting.

Whenever I get the chance I do work for my local church, from writing software and sysadmin work to cleaning and pure fundraising.

Edit: I find this thread extremely interesting, including comments by people from other religions as well as non-religious people. Thanks for keeping it civil!

Edit 2: when I was younger I read much in the Bible and it keeps popping up in my head as welcome advice, telling me to work hard, be respectful and good to those who need it, not become bitter etc in addition of course to the 10 commandments, but those have been second nature for half my life (and I enjoy the benefits that they give me :)
If the sender asks why you didn't respond, explain politely that you didn't see any notification until work started.

Come review time you will be dinged for not being a "team player".

Meanwhile the employee that does quickly respond to these messages will get ahead and eventually become your boss.

TBH if something is important enough, I have no problem with responding to it "After work hours", whether it's on the weekend or after work. In the same way, I have no problem taking a long lunch or sleeping in because I know it's a push/pull relationship with work. This is of course much easier to do when you're permanently remote so YMMV

> You might want to look at some of the more modern / postmodern branches of Christianity

> Some people who practice it sincerely don't think of the Bible as a literally true document that has no mistakes or inaccuracies,

That's not “modern and postmodern” Christianity, that's just OG Christianity. The view that, as doctrine, the Bible is entirely literal and without error in any sense (rather than often nonliteral and only without error in the doctrine it intends to teach) is a relatively novel view within Christianity predominantly held within a subset of Evangelical and Fundamentalist Protestantism.
You're right, this is in Europe where it's usually the opposite, automatic is rare except in premium cars.
The author requests a very reasonable and long overdue change from the scientific and medical world:

In a previous job (Belgium), I had a non-compete clause, correctly written except that the "compensation" part was missing. To my understanding, when leaving, I could either:

- claim the clause null and work wherever I wanted

- follow the clause obligations and ask for half of my salary for the 3 years of non-compete

Moreover, when quitting, if they did not explicitly waive the clause, I could also ask for those 3 years of compensation... but they did not forget that when I left ;(

My ritual pre-pandemic was a cup of coffee and a small silent prayer of thanks for the new day while on the train before and after sips.

It was my mental oasis of calm, and something I realize is missing in the pandemic.

When I was much younger and trying to forge a connection, however, I spent an hour or more daily trying to “hear”; by reading versus, letting-go of mental burdens, and straining for something.

At one point I experienced what has been described as the “still small voice”, warning me that someone I knew had designs on me.

It was not audible, it was brief, yet it was extremely specific. There was no confusion in the message.

What actually shocked me was when weeks
later, the events were unfolding as I was warned about; I was basically too shocked to act on what would have been a very bad decision.

Right after all of this is when I lapsed.

Are you claiming that because modern CPUs have higher instructions per clock count means you can insert useless instructions without performance impact? That's ridiculous.
I'm a secular Satanist. I believe Christianity and Abrahamic religions are inherently unethical. I have very strong utilitarian principles that run even deeper, which is ultimately what pushed me to Satanism. I'm a member of the Satanic temple, but in some ways it's more of a political organization than religious. I'm open to the possible existence of the paranormal, but I do not trust it at all and would question the intentions of such entities.
It's restricted, but you can dial anywhere.

What inspired you to start? You’ve always been a data/metrics person?
First of all, if you look at healthy children - especially boys - it looks like risks of myocarditis is actually larger than complications from contracting the virus. For older people that's not a concern, but for children I'd listen to those hesitant about vaccinating their kids. Finland for example won't vaccinate people <12 until there have been proper studies made about the safety and already stopped giving Moderna to people <30.

Second, the immunocompromised have always had problems navigating society. It sucks, but the best we can (reasonably) do long term is to stay home when sick, and practice good hygiene in public places.

Third, I think the media and the "desires to continue mitigation" go hand in hand. The fact that you keep being worried about kids indicate that you tend to follow mainstream media, or particular people on Twitter, where you're fed the same narrative. It's a powerful tool.

Finally, if the media stopped reporting on Covid tomorrow, or even started calling it "seasonal flu" instead while reporting 10% of the amount they do now, the fears in people would subside and things would go back to normal. It's a negative feedback loop.
I wonder if this train of misleading information is gonna keep on chugging, or if people are going to realize that they really just own a string of alphanumeric characters that are just arbitrarily interpreted by centralized software. No different than how virtual items are done today.

Maybe I am also salty that I was one of the "early adopters" who saw this glaring flaw and missed out on a fortune because I understood the technical side. Right about the technology, wrong about the adoption I guess.

‘I always go too far, too deep,’ wrote Bischof. ‘That is not journalistic. I realise that I am not a newspaper reporter. In my innermost soul I am still – and always will be – an artist’

Good! Modern journalism's focus on ethics and rigor over truth seems to confuse people and make them think they can't report the news. No matter what you report or how, there's no guarantee that the truth will out. Your own biases, the reader's biases, the editor's pen, the government's censors, and various incentives, all conspire to transmogrify the truth. Don't worry about whether you're a real journalist, as if it will make any difference. All you need to do is share stories and express yourself honestly. There's more truth in these artistic photos than there is in an entire Sunday edition newspaper.

Again, as was pointed out to you upthread, the license terms on that project already allow them to do the thing you claim Microsoft was hoping to do by altering the license. It's a MIT license! It's practically the least you can do beyond writing "these files are placed in the public domain".

I'm sorry to beat up on you. It's not your fault, but someone upthread wrote that Microsoft's developers should have known better than to have this bug, because developers should all understand licensing. That set me off, because in hate-reading this thread (something I should obviously not be doing), it's clear that a lot of Microsoft detractors here simply don't know what the MIT (or Apache) licenses do.

But then, the reason I started hate-reading this thread in the first place was that I clicked on the story link, saw an authorship edit to an MIT-licensed file, and thought to myself "how can so many people here give a shit about this?"
Don't know if SV specifically makes a difference but my lasting relationships from when I was in 500 startups were the in person fellow founders/startup folks that were grinding day in and day out.

We're actually trying to recreate the experience by doing a yearly remote retreat where we all pitch in and get a nice Airbnb in an amazing location to work, eat, play (nights and weekends) together.
I realize it barely counts, but I try to get up and get some exercise every morning before doing anything else. Well, drink some coffee first, whose main effect may simply be hydration.

Not super strenuous: I ride my bike to work. Especially during the winter, there's a psychological component to outdoor survival when the temps drop below 0 F, and maybe it's a bit of an antidote to the winter blues.
Note that "second" will not work as intended if you just have a pair; it access the second element of a list. I rarely find any use for anything beyond first, second, and rest; if I need to access nth elements I will likely switch to a different data structure.
As much as I loved Windows 2000, the ability to use XP msstyle themes is a significant enough value add for me that for a retro build, I think I’d use XP instead unless the machine in question is old enough that it would’ve originally shipped with 98/98SE. Some of those themes looked great and it’s a bit of a bummer that there’s no way to use them on modern systems.
And Windows Defender. It's notorious for slowing down damn near everything for the minimal gain of weak malware detection.

I want this for Android. If something like Android 2.x or 4.x would get a security update and I could run normal apps on it, I'd switch back in a heartbeat.

Back then, the enhancement community was huge. Every Android version since then has seen fewer and fewer enhancements because they just keep getting broken over and over again by some new OS requirement. New versions require you to turn off permanent notifications for every application that needs to do anything in the background (signal, wire, email, etc.); I can no longer modify the status bar because the developer for that mod gave up after Android 8 and I can't find a new one; I can't slide over the notification bar to adjust brightness (useful when the screen is too dim to see the brightness slider); the concept of just returning an empty contacts list instead of breaking the app by denying a permission is gone; etc.

Just look at the number of workarounds OsmAnd needs to apply and tell users about to keep track recording working, you can ctrl+f for nearly every android version and find remarks like "No good solution found for now. Current mitigation is we do not use AlarmManager wake-up, instead keep GPS always on": https://docs.osmand.net/en/main@latest/osmand/troubleshootin... (Of course, Google has no problem keeping location history for you. Only if you want to store it locally...)

As a developer I will concede that many of the new APIs are so much nicer than the ones available for Android 4 so I do understand people drop support for it.

Another thing is that battery drain of garbage apps is a real problem, but similar to the Win2k style OS proposal, this isn't meant for the mainstream. The mainstream can have their OS manage things for them, but as a power user that knows how to run 'htop' I'd really rather just manage my own device by myself.

I think that is exactly the point. The container has no notion of time. You have

(container0, the_world0).map(operation) = (container1, the_world1)

So it is completely symmetric with respect to time. If you don't do any side effects, then the_world "cancels out". How you decide to partition the container and the rest of the world determines how it behaves, state/time/IO/side effects. But there is no a priori notion of time.

Contrast with OOP or structured imperative programming, where every object/field/register has state, and that state implicitly is a variable through time. The time is "baked in".

In fact, the rules around importing whole milk products direct to the consumer have nothing to do with Brexit negotiations. It's a rule that was introduced by the EU in December 2019 and it applies to all third-party countries. It's unlikely in the extreme that the UK would ever have been given an exemption post-Brexit.
Exactly. I found out that I can't remove games from my Steam account even if I want to. I can only hide them.

I figure that's intentional so people can't change their mind about games they've removed and give grief to Steam support. It also helps prevent accidental removal, or malicious removal (e.g. you're still logged in and your kid is upset with you and tries to remove your favorite Steam games from your account).

Listen to body

Breathe, really breathe. Focus on deep mouth breaths. Do 21 with an awareness of each breath.
My understanding is that the original vacuum tube based IBM computers on which Lisp was implemented were accumulator based architectures (ie. had one register usually named "accumulator") with some instructions using parts of the accumulator in particular harwired ways.

Also, for CISC architectures that can do indirect loads on the ISA level (nowadays this is the only remaining practical difference between RISC and CISC), the difference between value of register (for i386: eax or %eax) and value referenced by that register ([eax] or $(%eax)) leads to different syntax of the assembly with same mnemonic.

i386 with intel assembly syntax is particularly good example of this as 'mov' refers to at least a two dozens of different opcodes depending on the syntax of its two arguments and current mode of the assembler.

It is possible to create an alternative to official app stores
In my opinion the alternative is a free, open and general space with software, which lives above the app stores, apps’ websites, devices and apps itself and treats the first two as building blocks of the greater system. It is a place which enables you, as a developer, to distribute, and, as a user, to get to know, create an account, buy and download any application, giving you, at the same time, a choice of where you can do that.

This way, implementing such a general and ultimate model, the alternative neither compete with app stores, using them as its element, not enemies, nor with apps's producers, in fact encouraging users both to visit their website and buy apps from there.
