Where I live, Catholics were at a distinct disadvantage. In other regions, Protestants were. It's difficult to distinguish correlation and causation, because in these regions the Protestants/Catholics were the original upper class, but religion definitely was a marker.
Not exactly fuzzing, no.

Most tests are written with a fixed date, or now(). Instead, using now()+delta can help discover future bugs and give you some time to remedy the issue. Often annoying to write tests like that, though, without them breaking for unrelated/timing issues compared to a fixed value.
not especially. Fuzzing would be running the software with an API to test all of the possible dates.

Go to https://twitter.com/settings/muted_keywords, you can mute words you don't care about. The feature is a bit hidden in the settings, but the twitter experience is way better once you remove content that makes you angry.
I'm amazed that, one year in, there's still no clear benefit from the new situation. I'm a fervent remainer, but expected to see a few positives in commerce, or at least stop seeing the ridiculous cookie banners on every website...

I'm amazed that there's no widespread feeling of anger with the government and the people who brought us into this.
Yeah, good clarification. I didn't have the distinction quite right. I just knew it smelled old
Their code base may be old, but their twitter handle is on point.
> It would make no sense for an IPng router to route such a packet to an IPv4 router knowing it would not be understood and would lead to misroutes. So two extended endpoints will be able to connect only when a full IPng route can be found between them, not when every router on the internet is upgraded.

Right, but how do you implement that? The IPng router only knows other routers by their addresses - it doesn't know which ones support IPng and which don't (and even if knows at a given point in time, how will it know if the router at a given address fails over or changes configuration?). The only way to make this work is to ensure that the IPng network is completely segregated from the IPv4 network - which is exactly what's being complained about with IPv6!
Thanks, the title has been changed on HN and the article.
Not only legal fees (which probably will be covered by someone else in this case) but mandatory court appearances that are scheduled antagonistically and punitively.

The punishments for missing these dates are among the most extreme and disproportionate in the whole system.

In fact he became President of the Royal Society and Master of the Royal Mint.

He rescued the Royal Society from bankrupcty and also worked with the best equipment makers of the day to improve experimental science.

At the Mint he was responsible for the gold content of the coinage and using science and design to limit counterfeits.

There was quite a bit more than "studying alchemy and the bible" because "no one would work with him."
My home lab is on mostly Fedora CoreOS, with a few Fedora Server.

I've been using Fedora for years with good success and these days everything runs in a container, so rpm-ostree and a mostly read-only filesystem simplifies maintenance.

If Fedora is too "bleeding edge", but you want to stay in the RHEL ecosystem, you might try CentOS Stream for yourself to decide whether it feels solid enough to rollout, it is the direction Red Hat wants folks to lean toward, though not necessarily the one many are interested in taking.
For the past year, every weekday at noon I receive an onslaught on calls for people trying to reach Humana. These are usually elderly people that report that my phone number came up on their caller ID. I have had my number for 20 years. I tried to Google my number to see if something popped up on Humana’s site but nothing. I don’t have an explanation or resolution for this behavior so I just prepare to ignore all calls starting at noon for the next hour.
> They just said wrong data makes them (and others) more likely to make mistakes in the future.

First of all, there is no wrong data here. Twitter user X said their iphone did a funny thing. Twitter user X attached a snippet of the image and said they think the iphone can overlay leafs in certain circumstances over faces. That is it. If your conclusion from that is that "iphones has AI magic which overlays leafs on faces for sure" that is your hasty conclusion and it is on you. The data is not wrong, your conclusion is wrong.

> None of this weird strawman.

:( sombremesa drawn a hasty conclusion. When they realised that it is unsupported they said (direct quote) "I need to be more careful about what I click on (and let into my head..."

Which basically says: I should be less curious because look here, I ended up believing the wrong thing.

The problem is not being curious, but drawing hasty conclusions and believing the wrong thing.

They should stay curious, let a lot of information in their head, but engage in critical thinking. Read the weird twitter thread purporting to show the weird bug and think: What if the twitter user is mistaken? Is it possible that the picture doesn't show what they think it shows? What other possible explanations there are? And so on and so on.

That strategy is much more widely applicable, more robust against even intentional deceptions and leads to ultimately better understanding of the world.
Basically the only thing twitter has going for it is that it is NOT algorithmic. Using a third party client I can see exactly what the people I follow tweet and nothing from twitter itself.
ah, my java projects only very recently could migrate past jdk8, good to know there's this now.

If you are interested in this topic, I recommend "Crazy Like Us" by Ethan Watters - it describes how mental illnesses get exported by media coverage and cultural attitudes from Western countries, and how cultural expectations shape the manifestation of mental illness. It was also reviewed in depth by Scott Alexander: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/book-review-crazy-like...

Self diagnosis waves on tiktok seem like the next evolution of this, but even faster and more globalised.

I've been wondering if this phenomenon could be harnessed to reduce the impact of mental illness: purposely spread content that encourages self-diagnosis with the mildest possible symptoms.
Many posters have already mentioned some of the great things about Japanese cities: walkable neighbourhoods, good public transport, life without cars. I agree with all of these.

However, you can't get something for nothing. Even in the suburbs there are essentially no gardens (a friend of mine lives way out of town and has a 10m by 10m garden which is enormous and unusual). Houses and apartments are significantly smaller too.

I think the tradeoff is worthwhile. You can meet friends at a restaurant instead of at home. You can go to the park instead of play in the garden.
The complaint as I understand it is that if it's just supposed to be harder/more academic 'FizzBuzz', then it ought not to be something that requires revision, cramming prior to the interview (probably sufficient in itself! So what's it testing?) because it's not memorable/derivable after years of doing something different or that's built on top of abstractions on top of abstractions on top of abstractions on top of the question.

But I've never actually had an interview like it (or I have I didn't realise/object to it myself) and discussions about it tend not to be particularly concrete. For example in the spirit of 'harder/more academic FizzBuzz', I think 'given this data structure, write a function to transform it or others like it into one that looks like this' is perfectly reasonable, but say 'in big-O terms, what's the best an algorithm to invert a binary tree can be? Write it' is a bit unfair for a job writing CRUD apps.
Wish I could agree but this kind of stuff just shows a lack of good legal recourse.

So it’s on the gov to force the company to ensure these employees are paid.
Really? I had most of Battlenet stuff running fine in Wine a few years ago with no major issues. Big games like that seem to generally have great support in the community.

Almost all ipv6 traffic is mobile, which is running under far more totalitarian execution environments (mobile OSs) and centrally controlled addressing.

While that is a ipv6 success, that is greenfield. And the telecoms are basically running a huge ipv6 nat when they need ipv4 routing.

Which is heretical to ipv6.

The issue of migration of existing ipv4 is still sucky.

Meanwhile normal desktop OS and infrastructure and consumer routers are (20 years after this article) a disaster.
Public transport is not utopia, yes you can go everywhere but you'll be squeezed in with 50 other people (or worse) in a can.
Totally agree! Reminds me of this essay.

The history of "folkhemmet" is a topic about which entire books are written, but I'm not sure there are any that focus specifically on the car, I've appended some stuff from a quick google below.

As a result of this history, today, the social democrats (just like all other parties) pay lip service to environmentalism, curbing emissions, fighting climate change etc etc, but the truth is they rely heavily on the utterly car dependent rural, small town and suburban voters they themselves have created, and are thus constrained in how much they can really push policies that meaningfully reduce car dependency.

När väl vågorna efter andra världs-
kriget började lägga sig blev vår in-
ställning till bilen och bilismen
oåterhållsamt positiv och Sverige
blev det land i Europa som hade det
snabbast växande antalet bilar per in-
vånare. Det blev snarare det övriga samhället som fick anpassa sig efter bilen
än tvärtom. Dessa hjulspår kan vi idag se lite varstans, inte minst i våra städer
och tätorter som så småningom fick
genomgå genomgripande förändrin-
gar och i många fall till stora delar
byggas om för att biltrafiken skulle
fungera rationellt.
I samband med det stora genom-
brottet under 1950-talet förändrades
synen på bilen. Man såg den inte längre som en lyxartikel, bilen kom till och
med att bli en byggsten i folkhemsbygget. I skriften ”Har vi råd med bilen?”
slog socialdemokraterna inför valet 1956 fast att bilen både var leksak och nyt-
tosak och att den inte längre enbart
var en angelägenhet för överklas-
sen. Bilen kallades till och med för
en demokratisk kraft...

...Man drömde om att komplettera folkhemsidyllen med
en lagom stor bil – kanske en Volvo PV 444 eller en Saab 92.

Med det utbyggda vägnätet och det stadigt ökande antalet bilar började samhällsplanerarna övergå från att anpassa bilismen till det gamla samhället till att istället bygga ett bilsamhälle enligt förebilder från USA. Bilen ingick nu i ett gigantiskt tekniskt system där motorvägar och bilanpassade köpcentra med väldiga parkeringsplatser ingår. För att nå fram till bilsamhället började också Sveriges städer omvandlas — stadskvarter revs, vägar breddades, parkeringshus byggdes och städernas förorter utvidgades allt längre från stadskärnorna. Resultatet blev ett kulturellt och ekonomiskt bilberoende.
I LOVE Sylvia Plath
Just like you say, that it is much more likely, that the author is missing social skills, one could now make a similarly baseless claim: "Most likely you have over time become less sharp and less of an intellectual, so that you now accept the useless small talk and accept wasting time." Just to give you in impression of how it might feel, what you wrote about the author. So lets just stop assuming things about the author.

Out of some people, you will not get any original ideas, interesting thoughts. It is you, who needs to push them towards any interesting topic and even then they might derail it into unimportance or uninteresting ways. Yes, a person is in front of you, with a whole life experience, but there are questions to be considered, when comparing to a book:

(1) Is that person in front of you able to communicate and share any meaningful information from that whole life of experiences? Have they thought about stuff in depth before, so that they can share some quintessence in the short time, that you talk with them, before the conversation walks on to more lighthearted topics with the next person at the table?

(2) In a meaningful book, the author has firstly recognized, that there is something meaningful to write about, something to share. This might not be the case for a random person at a party. The person at the party might not even know, that anything they experienced is worth sharing or what those things are.

(3) Hopefully a good book will be written with carefully chosen words, that most precisely convey the ideas, that they author had. It is very difficult to achieve anything close to that in some small talk.

(4) Who is willing to lend you their ear and talk for prolonged duration on a party, when there are probably many other people around? That already is some precondition, which might not be fulfilled at any random party.
> always reeks of unearned superiority

"always"? On one side Reddit is known for its armchair experts to the point of being a cliche'.

Yet anti-intellectualism is widespread in many environments. The idea that people should only engage in gossip and idle conversations in a college party is a good example.
You ought to use the past tense when speaking about 6to4..

As much as technically I think it was a brilliant idea (a whole /48 assigned to each existing IPv4 address owner), it failed because of the tragedy of commons.
Figs are disgusting. Now I'll try and visualize desirable kinds of things as fig trees, making it easier to quickly pass them up and go for something I'd want more. Thanks.

I’ll give that a shot. By corporate do you mean set by the pharmacy (in my case, CVS?). They’ve tried to override the fill restriction before only to be given back an exception regarding state law, I know California my doctor was actually able to refill outside the normal cycle once a year, possibly more, but needed a really damn good reason.
This has started happening to me also. Someone in my area of the country who has my same name accidentally put my email address on their registrations.

These companies aren't verifying that the email was entered correctly.

So I continue to get notices about what this person is doing even though I've reached out to the companies and this person to try to notify them of the error.
Some people find discussing politics and climate change rewarding in itself, and so it isn't a waste of time for them.
I don’t know. If a medicine cures 99 % of all cases (or even 10 %) would you say it’s ineffective? I’d say it’s effective, but depending on the your overall goal, not effective enough (if you’d like to call it ineffective, it would be ineffective with respect to a certain macro outcome, not with respect to individual cases). At some minuscule percentage (let’s say 0,1 %) I would probably be tempted to actually starting to call it ineffective.
Also Google: blocks mail coming from IPv6 space because of spam, effectively making it a non-option for hosted servers.
Didn't Craig Murray go to prison for contempt of court?

>The only adequate protection against capricious prosecution

That isn't adequate protection at all.

It allows the voters to elect officials who will persecute the minorities that those voters want persecuted.

Most especially, black people in the USA definitely need protection beyond that.

No need for door bells. No need for street signs. No need for taxi stops. No need for privately owned cars (rent via phone app or use Uber like service).

Those things affect urban planning a lot.
On Windows, the best way is often Direct2D https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct2d/dire...

On Linux, you have to do that yourself. The best approach depends on requirements and target hardware.

The simplest case is when your lines are straight segments or polylines of them, you have decent GPU, and you don’t have weird requirements about line caps and joins. In that case, simply render a quad per segment, using 8x or 16x MSAA. Quality-wise, the results at these MSAA levels are surprisingly good. Performance-wise, modern PC-class GPUs (including thin laptops and CPU-integrated graphics in them) are usually OK at that use case even with 16x MSAA.

If MSAA is too slow on your hardware but you still want good quality AA, it’s harder to achieve but still doable. Here’s a relevant documentation from my graphics library for Raspberry Pi4: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/blob/master/Vrmac/Draw/VAA...

Update: if you only need to support nVidia GPUs, they have a proprietary GL extension nv_path_renreding which does pretty much the same thing as Direct2D, but not exclusive to Windows.
I think Tokyo still has too many cars (and plenty of two or three lane roads) and Japan as a whole isn't really bicycle friendly. The city is very dense however and the cost of parking spaces makes cars only accessible to upper class families.

From a business perspective I always made it a habit to get every popular TLD at very least .com .net .org and now probably .io for a given name within a reasonable budget and then park the ones not being used to avoid squatters and other security and legal incidents. This is also a good time to set up SPF and MX records for all the domains especially the ones you do not plan to send email from. If getting newer TLD's be sure to investigate which ones are commonly used for fraud and spam and strategically apply mitigations accordingly. i.e. park the .xyz, .info, .me, etc... if you feel you really need those. Enable auto-renew on all domains and make sure your expiration emails go to a distribution list and not an individual.

It can be challenging to find a .com that matches the name of the business especially if doing this after you already incorporated. I believe it is worth the effort to keep looking until you find a .com that aligns with the business name. In my opinion and experience this is especially critical if you ever plan to advertise on the radio or podcasts.

For domain squatting, typos, variations, let your legal and security teams go after them. Your business should also consider using a registrar that looks for these things and can provide a detailed report written in a way that lawyers can easily understand.
The comments on the thread seem to be by people who reacted emotionally to loaded words. For instance a good fraction of commenters read the term ‘slave’ associated with Christianity as ‘Christianity supports slavery’ whereas I see it opposed in the dyad against ‘master’ and believe the poster means the opposite.

What I find amusing about the counter-narrative on ‘critical theory’ is that the opponents of critical theory both accuse their opponents of having a victim mentality while themselves they thoroughly seem to think they are victimized. (E.g. ‘if I use the wrong pronoun I will be flayed alive by transsexuals, you think you are safe now because you always call them by name or call them “that person” but just wait till they come for you…’)

It is sad in many ways because it doesn’t confront the real failures of those movements at all (e.g. Hilary Clinton is as contemptuous of those people as they are) but it doesn’t matter because the counter-narrative is good for political mobilization. (Why else would somebody under 70 vote Republican?)
Most of the things you mentioned here is why I like Japan more han the Western world.

To be fair, Japan isn’t perfect. But a lot of things make sense for us.

Are you a westerner? It seems that your way of thinking is just different than ours. We value things differently. For example, have you ever stopped to consider that maybe Japanese woman prefer to be in traditional role?

The western world has a lot of problems too. And its a choice that the western world makes. We make our choice according to our values. This is what we prefer.

Harmony takes the first place. Harmony over diversity. We like diversity too but harmony always comes first. Harmony first, diversity later, when we need it. I can talk a lot about this.

The vast majority of these programs are not ordinarily linked in a single DSO though; KDE and the Linux kernel for example are well-known for containing very large numbers of DSOs. I am also skeptical of this methodology: checking the first project, KDE, on the linked source, Open Hub, it says there are 19 million lines of code, not 58. Of those, only 63% are in C++, with 16% in XML, 6% in PHP (?), etc, which would presumably not count towards a linking cap.
> Their implicit claim is that, other than in mid-eighteenth century Britain, save for a few short-lived cases, choosing innovation was simply just not worth it.

When I studied the industrial revolution at university, in a course on international trade, we began with the questions of why it occurred where it did, when it did.

Short answer: a series of strong agricultural decades created a surplus large enough to allow a pool of Labor to mobilise away from agriculture, which hitherto had occupied 98% of the workforce.

It’s not that those 98% of workers weren’t as imaginative and innovative as, for example, the people YCombinator funds today. It’s just that being serfs limited their opportunities for expression.
