> All he says is that it is the "fact of sin", as if there were only one. There isn't. There are many facts about sin...

You really believe that is what Chesterton meant? You think he thought there is only one single fact about the subject of sin? I find your interpretation hard to believe.

> Chesterton never says what "the fact of sin" is

First, if that is true, then how can you so vehemently deny something (the fact of sin) that you claim hasn't even been defined?

Second, Chesterton doesn't define it explicitly, but from a cursory reading of the text, I think it's pretty easy to infer.

> Some followers of the Reverend R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street

Here Chesterton criticizes followers of Campbell for denying the existence of human sin when it's obvious it exists in front of their eyes. This text is a few sentences after he asserts the "fact of sin". And the sentences in between are all about the existence of sin.

It's pretty obvious that when he says the fact of sin, he means the fact that sin exists.

> BTW, William Lane Craig is a charlatan.

Backing up your claims with evidence would make them more substantive especially with such a serious allegation. And even if he is (which I don't believe since I haven't seen any evidence), there are plenty of other examples on the website I linked to (and other sites). But I suppose you'd think they are all charlatans.

> read Bart Ehrman or Richard Carrier.

Sure. This is the second time I've seen Ehrman referenced on this thread. I'm game to to read up on them.
I believe it's a legal gray area where I live, but I have also done that many times. Purchase the blu-ray, rip it myself. That way I feel like I did the morally correct thing by supporting the people who made the movie. But it might still be technically illegal because I circumvented the DRM.
If it is not an engineering problem, then engineers should not be bothered with it, simple as that. Not because we cannot do it, but because we can do things others cannot. And these things take time and focus to do well. And without them, all the talking and planning and strategizing and wearing suits, becomes pointless, because there is no product to sell.

I am a coder. It is not my responsibility to sell our product, convince someone to see a demo, or do "market research" into what features we require.

"division of labour" exists for a reason. If I am supposed to be doing the job of the guys in suits&ties, in addition to be able to write, read and test code, then I have to ask the question why we should pay these guys in the first place.

Same here. I'm really looking forward to the tell-all book in a decade or two about what really went on with Siri and why it's still so so bad.

Not asking for miracles or "general-purpose AI" here, just decent speed, dependable consistency and general reliability. For example, Siri will correctly set a timer 90-95% of the time when you say a duration to it, like "5 minutes", but just sometimes, it doesn't understand what I'm talking about and gives an error speech.

> In reality, profit gets maximized when you have a team full of high achievers and with very low turnover.

Profit is a function with lots and lots of parameters. Who are you to say which parameter has the highest weight? How about market share? How about profit margins? How about illegal deals with public funding? How about marketing? How about creating addictions? How about being niche? How about having excellent customer support? How about having better quality?

Lots of companies make significant profit from a legacy project that's almost impossible to improve, but marketing still finds clients that want it. They don't need a team full of high achievers with very low turnover.

That's a great Wikipedia rabbit hole. And I like this quote with s/dane/DRM/.

Only if your categories don't have clear criteria for who falls into which one. Which shouldn't be surprising: For all the hand wringing about how some people are far more productive no one in software business has yet found a way to measure software developers work performance. It's always just "I think that ...".
I was feeling the same, about the only thing I have using 32bit userspace these days are a few rPIs, little bit early to be panicking they may suffer from the Y2038 bug, most companies waited to about 6 months before the Y2K bug was going to hit before they started caring.
Yeah, I think[?] I agree with the point this is making, but the watershed "analogy" is quite a stretch. This article is not very well-written.

> I argue that the increase in savings and therefore money spent participating in the economy is inherently valueable.

> In addition companies are less likely to fail, and can continue to generate value. Individuals have a bigger safety net and can be more productive for society. You already touched on the fact that government has reduced burden for social services.

It's zero-sum though - you've increased individuals' savings but reduced public funds (which can be spent in the economy through e.g. public infrastructure, and/or used to provide a safety net, probably in a more efficient way since the risks are pooled).

> Government tax revenue can be poorly allocated and wasteful.

Sure. So can individual or corporate wealth. Even if you think the tax rate is too high, the most efficient solution would be to change the tax rate, not add a bunch of loopholes.

> The accountants provide a valuable service navigating the complex tax laws.

The argument is that that complexity is largely bullshit.

> A great example is Tesla. They may not have survived without the billions in tax credits they received. Lots of people believe they generate tremendous value for society.

Corporate tax avoidance means the government has less money from which to offer that kind of targeted tax credit.
Upvoted because of the interest discussion.
Nice work, Philipp! I wrote something similar at: https://notica.us

I didn't write an app, however. I rely on the browser notification API which doesn't have the best support on mobile unfortunately. It works great on desktop.

My inspiration was the same though. I do most of my work over ssh, and wanted a local desktop notification when a slow command was finished running.

Figured this might be a decent place to ask, does anyone know why the Home app is so bad but I don’t seem to see complaints about it? It’s by far the least responsive Apple app I’ve seen, it constantly outputs audio on the wrong device (e.g. to speakers even when AirPods are connected), it crashed if I scroll back to past camera videos, and maybe worst-of-all, the Mac app is somehow like a pre-multitasking iPad app. I guess it’s Catalyst, but other Catalyst apps work fine. Why does this one break as soon as it loses window focus?

More on topic, I’ve also been trying to ask Siri for stuff at home and toddlers are way smarter.
There are modern takes on this idea, with highly efficient (85%) burning cores that also burn the fine particles traditionally present in wood fire smoke, resulting in a smoke-less combustion.

Look how the USA freaked out when the USSR placed atomic weapons in Cuba, a sovereign nation over which the USA has nothing to say.

It is understandable that the USSR freaks out in the same way when the USA-led NATO does the same thing with Ukraine.

Not saying with this that the USSR is the good guy in this story, just that the reaction is understandable.

Either glibc will do it, or time itself will do it. But when time will do it, it will be much harder breakage.

You make it sound so posh but there is other, much more real face to all this - breaking the game for everybody else. You are basically having fun at the expense of literally everyone else involved.

Sure, you achieve it by being clever, and theoretically you report your finding to creators and don't abuse your position of power, but thats not what usually happened.

Behavior like this is the core reason why I don't play online games of any type anymore - the idea of proper fun looks distantly different to this constant 'finding metagame' for which I have less polite names. Plus its a waste of life and ones talents but thats another topic.

If I were to write this post, I would take the time to: Check _why_ glibc maintainers have made this decision, and ask them why it is reasonable for this to be the case right now.
Nice overview. One small nitpick: `right of=<label>` is deprecated, instead you should use `right=0cm of <label>` (after loading the `positioning` library), which is more flexible. If you don't want to specify the distance, there is also `right=of <label>`. See 17.5.3 in the manual.
The only problem is "license expire" between the labels and the streamers.

I surely will! I also saw there's an RPM for it, so that makes adoption that much easier. I really, really, really dislike having to re-compile to update things. It just never happens lol.
Good News! Look into makemkv and the associated forums. There are a couple of Blueray drives that can have their firmware modified to strip the DRM from the discs and give you clean files you can then play in VLC, MakeMKV or any other player. It gets even better! The software strips DRM but then also bundles the subtitles, all audio tracks, all different angles and everything else into a single file so that you just double click and the movie starts. Its the best of all worlds. Yeah you might have to buy a Blue-ray drive and man are these files large (35-100GB) but I think its worth to so I can banish these discs back into my closet where I will never have to deal with their restrictions again!

I have matched this implementation, here's my approach:

https://scastie.scala-lang.org/AiusSr76QLCTrlZvBICT7A

13 lines and should behave like yours (i.e. is not optimal in the sense of fully utilizing the rate limit).

Curious to see your solution that fully utilizes the rate limit - it's not so trivial I think. :)

Anyways. I have to say that the Go-code is better than I expected (even for the suboptimal solution). But given my experience with higher abstractions (here streaming) I personally find the streaming solution much more readible.
Who says I'm worried for me? I got out in 2017 and couldn't care less.

What i am worried about, is for non-technical people getting duped ( which i already witnessed a couple of times) or if tether collapses ( for them ). Since they don't realize any of the risks.

also, (or: alternatively?) one that can't be/won't be blocked by the centralized services' spam filters. The biggest hurdle to running your own email server nowadays isn't the online time or the data volume or anything; it's that the existing institutions don't recognize you as part of the institutional club and block your messages...

btw, Germany did this a decade ago: giving everyone an email account with the national mail service, as an "official email." I honestly don't know anyone here who uses it.
I think you are getting it wrong, remote switching a light with your smartphone is almost a byproduct of home automation. Nice things you can have: turning on/off external lights at certain conditions; dim bathroom lights at night so if you go there in darkness you won't be blinded; turning off lights automatucally when you have kids that keep forgetting about it (I tell them each time anyway like in the old times just to teach them); blinders that go down at sunset, but only when it's cold enough outside etc etc. You might think you can live without this, you absolutely can, just like you can live without many other things.

One big problem is usability. If you want something to turn on, the easiest way would be to have to ability to touch said thing and turn it on. Also security, planned obsolescence and so on.
>The drawback of taking a long time to heat up shouldn’t be overlooked either. Anyone who has lived in a stone or brick house could tell you...

But have you ever lived in a home with a tile stove like described in the article? The time it takes to heat up isn't really an issue in my experience. Yes, it takes a bit longer than with radiators but unless you're out on holiday your house wouldn't be completely cold, would it? You get up, it's still warm from the previous night, then you throw some fresh wood in the oven and start a new fire. Especially with well insulated homes as they're built these days it works well. But here's the actual problem, apart from taking up space like you already mentioned: The fire has to be maintained. I'm pretty sure that's the main reason they've fallen out of use. It just doesn't fit into our fast paced lifestyle with small families and busy parents anymore. Back in the day there generally used to be someone home, either the housewife or the greatparents or one of the 15 children or so. Wood fired stoves just got automated out of existence like most other stuff. Central heating can be set to a certain temperature and be forgotten about. Sure, you can do that now by getting a modern gas burning tile stove, or retrofitting an old one with modern tech. But by now most have already fallen in disuse. I find it unlikely they will be revived outside of niche cases for the simple reason that fossil fuel is on it's way out. Floor heating is great and can be electric, powered by green energy.
The basic idea isn't bad, assuming it's implemented in a sensible way.

However, the most likely result will be higher fuel prices -- until the lack of income starts hurting governments and "carbon taxes" are added on top of electricity prices instead, regardlessif the energy is green or not.
It's saddening that folks say Axie is a play-to-earn pioneer. This genre existed for ages and is called gambling. Poker being a prime example of a truly successful game combining luck, fun, and skill. The best part -- no NFTs required.
Whatever the reason it results in a bad disjointed experience for the user.

Besides I can't work out a way that the restriction makes sense. The app knows that I'm streaming this film not playing it from download, so restricting what I can do based on the fact that I could have downloaded it but didn't would be really weird.
> When everybody is remote everything has to be scheduled and calendared.

This is simply bullshit.

I work on a remote team of ~6-7 across all 4 continental US timezones, where most (not all) work from home most of the time. There is almost always a video bridge open for pairing, chatting, “rubber-ducking” and so forth - especially across the common hours. It’s the most productive environment I’ve ever seen by a very long way (and have run the gamut from in-person-on-trading-floor to remote-first).

If I were to go to the office, it would be the same since the team itself is distributed (the SMEs live where the SMEs live), but with more ambient noise and an hour each way for the 7 miles to the office. Nothing would make me quit faster.

It’s unlikely to be due to a browser extension. A browser extension that can steal your master password can steal all the other passwords as well, it doesn’t need LastPass for that. More importantly, an extension can only steal your master password when it is used – yet several people reported not having used LastPass for a year or more. It’s still not impossible that an extension has been stealing master passwords for years only for them to be used now, it’s merely unlikely.

Judging by the reports here, the source of the leak appears to be LastPass after all. Given that most people write about old accounts, my original suspicion was https://palant.info/2018/07/09/is-your-lastpass-data-really-... – from all I know, LastPass never investigated whether that websiteBackgroundScript.php issue was already being abused. It was obvious enough that someone might have discovered it independently of me.

If on the other hand you changed your master password recently (and someone had a login attempt on a brand new account) then this theory is moot. While I am aware of a number of LastPass design flaws (see https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/45170/how-safe-...), none of them could be the culprit here. It must be something new then. The weird thing: LastPass must have stored unencrypted passwords somewhere, because reversing 100,000 rounds of PBKDF2 wouldn’t have allowed such large-scale attacks.
However, the pronunciation of the actual body text will trigger some words to be upper case, so there's definitely a meaning under that capitalized letters.

Actually, not having the exact file may not provide a utility for you, or most of us, but searching for a file in a case sensitive manner, and getting ENOTFOUND just because it doesn't present in the way I searched is valuable from my point of view.

Also, having a case-sensitive system is simpler from technical point of view, and prone to less bugs. This is especially true after UTF-8 become ubiquitous. Searching for an exact byte stream is much more simpler than a country dependent, exceptions filled search/match algorithm.
MetaMap $70M funding to unlock borderless business
I'm not sure Wifi has anything to do with it but then I have no idea how this stuff works. I have one Meross Smart Plug Mini. It's the only thing that shows up on my router. I have 11 Nanoleaf essentials A19 Bulb (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HPE62ZM/A/nanoleaf-essent...). None of those show up on Wifi so no idea how they work (Bluetooth, Wifi Broadcast)

6 of them are less than 10 feet from the WiFi AP in the same room, and also less than 10ft from an AppleTV (3 are 5ft from it). The other 5 of them are in the next room (so less than 20ft from the AP). in that room I have no problem streaming 5-10 streams of simultaneous video over Wifi to my laptop

AppleTV is on wired network.

All of the lights are slow to respond. The ones on the same room as the AP and the ones away. It doesn't matter. The Meross plug, which is on Wifi, is almost always instant to respond, but, in the 6 months I've owned it it's entirely failed to respond at all 3 times (so once ever 2 months) at which point I go manually unplug it. Plugging it in immediately doesn't fix the issue but plugging it in a few days later seem to reset it.

The whole thing is super frustrating and feels not ready for prime time. I feel duped.
