You're the only one assigning blame to anyone here. Not all problems need a villain.

Both of these things can be true at the same time: The library authors ultimately messed it up and could have prevented it by reading documentation better. Flatpak has a footgun and could have prevented it by better dev UX and/or structuring docs differently.

Hopefully this incident is leading to improvements in both.

I’m surrounded by a certain type of Christian that I’ve taken to calling an “Ayn Rand Christian”. The MO is: “New Testament for me, Old Testament for thee”.

IMHO when someone needs something concrete from you, and quotes one verse from the 33, but when you’re in trouble they’re happy to “pray for you” if you’re lucky, if not break out the weak faith routine you alluded to, what you’re really dealing with is the same people who give Atlas Shrugged or the Fountainhead place of privilege on their bookshelves.

I’m not a person of particularly strong religion or even spirituality, but I’m on team: the 33, while flawed, are my preferred mode of interaction over the 66.
I'm curious what you think of an ombudsman? Do you just see them as seeking any chance to abuse their power and seek authoritarian authority and oppress your rights as well?

In a democracy, the government technically works for you, you elect it, you can choose to not re-elect them, and as part of that system some institutions are in place to protect your rights. Like ombudsman, the CRTC is an institution whose mandate is to protect voices of Canadians on broadcasts that reaches Canadians.

The CRTC is not a sensor, and cannot choose what programs the broadcasters choose to air or not, it can simply dictate that it has to air some amount of Canadian content, and that it has to promote and advertise some amount of it.

The goals of it is to make sure various Canadians have a propertionally equal air time. That's its mandate.

I'm not sure what exactly you distrust in that, a free market will govern who gets air time based on profit, revenue, and market power/consolidation. This isn't what Canadians want, they want to have a mechanism that protects their rights to broadcast themselves, even if it doesn't fit Big Media's business model of maximized revenue, or their own political leanings. So they created an institution to govern that, and make sure that within the free market, there is still guaranteed room for them to broadcast.

P.S.: First amandment is a US thing. Canada has a Charter of rights and freedoms, and it's section 2(b) which says:

> (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication
"can be run on a profit" and "should only be run if it is profitable" are very, very different things.

Infrastructure like trains or roads are a huge net benefit to society already, if they can make a profit too that's neat but it shouldn't be the goal.
Happiness is only measurable in relation to sadness. If you were "happy" all the time you wouldn't feel like you were happy because that would be your default state - you would just feel normal.

>One could aim for "contentment". Even that is unattainable for most people.

That has been my goal, which has been more or less achieved. What more can you really ask for or expect out of life? Sometimes extraordinarily bad things are going to happen, and you are going to feel sad for a while. Likewise, sometimes extraordinarily good things happen, and you are going to feel happy for a while. But you can't (shouldn't) live your life with the ever-present anticipation (or dread) of these infrequent events. We're all on this planet for a very short time in the big scheme of things, and we'll all experience a variety of pleasant and unpleasant things. At the end of the day all you can do is navigate down the bumpy road as best you are able and not worry about things that are outside your control.

I've never tried the apps that claim to track your sleep, so I will not comment on those. But recently I was about to buy a consumer fitness band until I read a couple of technical reviews that show how they are all essentially worthless except for the Apple watch.
Here is reviewed an iOS app but since the Apple watch is not mentioned, I don't know how precise his measurings are. IMHO the phone alone is not enough to track your sleep cycles meaningfully.

Anecdotally I've noticed that when I smoke weed I don't remember what I dreamt, every single time. I suspect it alters my sleep cycle in some way.
> I have to wonder: why did Apple create Swift?

They wanted a safe, performant language that interoperates with Objective-C. Safety gets them fewer vulnerabilities, interoperability means they can gradually decrease (Objective-)C usage.

Also:

- opinions on the nicety of Objective-C differ (but the only arguments I’ve heard why it would be bad more or less are “I don’t like the syntax” and “it’s verbose”, both of which, IMO, are weak. Both, IMO, are acquired tastes. I don’t think anybody is born preferring terse K&R C, for example.

- as you probably know, work is being done on C++ interop (https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/docs/CppInteroperab...), so that may improve.
Are other companies really better, though? I would expect all big companies to be horrible.
Setup an open wifi link w/ a separate router, search Amazon for travel router for devices under US$35. This may need to provide a response from an expected domain, just connect the TV and a PC to the open wifi (that isn't connected to the internet) and use Wireshark to see what domains the TV is trying to connect to. Setup the router dns to provide 400 responses to those queries, and problem solved.

Why yes, this is a ludicrous amount of technical work to expect the average consumer to do, and it is fucking disgusting that this is even a concern. I'll continue to use my 8 year old TV, I don't need 4k for something I'm watching from 8 feet away anyway.

I had to DMZ a friend's smart TV, since it was booting excessively slowly waiting for a response from the (Sony) servers, which is why I have a work around. Still, spending $35 and polluting the 2.5ghz band even more seems stupid. The TV in question had an ethernet port, but providing 400 responses on that didn't improve boot times, since it tried to find a wifi signal after that. Just stupid that a TV will be slow to turn in depending on what external servers it can contact.

Edit-stated this was an LG TV, it was a Sony.

I'm no historian, but your view appears almost ignorant of European history.

There were a number of very disruptive wars in Europe during the last three centuries, not to mention emergence and disappearance of whole nations, whether defined by language or state borders or armies. The numerous famines and genocides had a very real socio-economic impact.

Socialist and communist governments in the last hundred years with their market planning ideology in something like half of Europe would also throw a wrench in natural price formation. This is not the only socio-economic challenge: the diversity of languages, currencies and forms of government would not help make sweeping studies like this accurate.

The colonizers of the US were largely immigrants from Europe, who were fleeing war, oppression, famine or other calamity. There has never been any comparable immigration from the US to Europe (or indeed to anywhere). To me this indicates very strongly which region has been stable or not.

In comparison, the very disruptive geographic phase that you refer to seems very stable growth to me. I'm a bit puzzled how the relative change has been less in Europe, in my view it's quite the opposite!

You're missing the main point of mnemonics, which is simply to help recall. Anki is designed to reinforce memories, but any additional context and connections help this recall.

The best way to learn is really to combine both: make once the effort to build a mnemonic for things that you don't remember easily or which you expect might end up confusing - and then use anki to reinforce this memory.

Our brain works with connections, and connections take effort to form, so all you do to form a single personal mnemonic by definition helps you build these connections, with the mnemonic then helping you later to again find this chain of neural connections that means 'flag of ireland'.

I don't think so, if anything it's improved from the days when many resorts simply banned them.

I've seen plenty of skiers stop bang in the middle of slopes too, frequently older ones who should know better, to stop and chat and look at the view.
> What if the reason you don't have a bank account is because the government froze your account due to you supporting a peaceful protest

Not to get off topic, but the protest was not peaceful, and donating to people who are openly calling for the overthrow of the government is likely to get you in trouble with said government.

Regardless, the bank account freezes are temporary as far as i understand (emergency act expires in 30 days) so really not the same thing.
Impact factor ranks Journals, not Authors or papers. I googled the original paper:

Counterfactual Causal Inference

The formalisation of casual inference by Pearl is in my opinion a development comparable to the invention of calculus in mathematics: Suddenly the problem space solvable with statistics became at least an order of magnitude larger and we're only starting to see the benefits in other sciences.
It implies that the dehumanisation leads to aggressive behaviour, but it could just be correlation and not causation. How do we know that these people aren't just assholes?

There are unfortunately a segment of Aussies who embrace the aggressive bogan stereotype, and seek out opportunities to insult and belittle other people.

Your mileage may vary, but my experience with Danish and Norwegian is similar. Norwegian which has very phonetic spelling is very forgiving on mispronunciation while Danish—a very similar language but spelled much differently and not very phonetically—is not nearly as forgiving on mispronunciation, and being Danish you do mispronounce a lot as you are learning the language.
I ski and board. In my opinion boarding was the really popular thing to start a while back. That meant all the newbies that didn't know slope etiquette were doing it. I think that's why it got the bad reputation.

Skiing seems to be back to being cool again so things have levelled out a bit. The rivalry is still talked about though so it persists. There also probably a misunderstanding of what the "other" can see while moving.

The first time I heard of Thinking Machines was on The Daily WTF [0]. It's quite a fascinating story of engineers building an amazing pie in the sky supercomputer but then having the company helmed by someone who was woefully unqualified to be managing anything.

The CEO's obsession with design eventually led to the Thinking Machine's most notable role as the big blinkenlights supercomputer prop in Jurassic Park, though as far as I can tell it was not in fact a UNIX system.

I had to go to the Wayback machine to find the cited 'The Rise and Fall of Thinking Machines' article [1], which is also a entertaining read.

You can't "hold down" shift when writing CONSTANT_NAME if you're doing any kind of touch typing. You constantly have to switch between pressing left shift or right shift, so basically you're writing 13 key-combinations.

I found the community behind https://www.extremecarving.com/ to be the most "nerdiest" of them all. Small group of people working endlessly to craft the perfect carving board, perfect the technique and advance the sport of alpine snowboarding. You can often find nerdy talks about torsion control (someone built a snowboard that has a split front to counter the board torsion during carving), board flex, technique etc. You just have to love a good old forum. That being said, this looks like an awesome resource for anyone looking to understand snowboarding :)

Looking forward to C# 11 code.
The local man is not any bank. He is more a converter of digital money to hard cash. Lets say the woman asks his bank app to withdraw X amount. Bank app will say go to this (or nearest) man and give him this code. Man gets the code, enters in his side of app, and sees the digital money in account, gives the hard cash. He does same in reverse for others who want to deposit money. At any point, maybe daily or weekly he either puts excessive cash in bank branch, or gets cash from bank branch.

Note that app is not any phone app, its more like USSD codes and or SMS banking. The man acts like a human atm, and money & kyc details are with bank or operator. Airtel mobile company used to operate M-pesa in 2007 when I was there. Basically assume if ATT opens a mobile banking division, with just USSD & SMS codes.
You do still need to use type hints to achieve best performance, especially in numerical code. That said, even if I’m doing primitive math and using arrays in Clojure for performance sensitive code, it’s still a nicer experience than other JVM languages for me.

Form a corporate perspective: 2FA would still force a unique secret per user. That can be useful when your users tend to reuse passwords for different sites or choose poor ones.

I have seen folks use password managers to store their poor non-autogenerated passwords.

For users that do use the PW manager properly, having the PW manager store the TOTP secrets is indeed "putting all of your eggs in one basket".

>A happy populace wouldn't need to resort to drugs

How about instead of blaming the population, we pin the opioid addiction to big pharma and their illegal practices of lobbying and bribing their way into doctors prescribing opioids for toothaches and headaches. See Purdue.

Also, Finland is constantly rated as the happiest country in the world yet suicide rates are relatively high and alcohol abuse is rampant, so maybe that's not how happiness works.

But to be honest I agree with people having mixed experiences, like for me Apple has been awful, a macbook of just few months was not fixed because I allegedly caused the issue (I had horizontal lines on the display, that happened by itself just while I was watching a 4k movie), so I kinda have adopted the policy that I don't buy anything unless it's extremely needed, so like I have had a oneplus for few years now (since it came out?) and have some bluetooth issues, every now and then I just go on some ecommerce website to try to scroll around for smartphones but to be honest after a while I just leave because I start thinking about customer service specifically, if I have to spend money but then I have to factor in the price the time to solve issues, to be ignored by customer service, to see like all the hidden and minuscule written points in the terms of service that are there just to make you regret buying something, I just get demotivated and think that it's probably better to think about keeping the bluetooth issue rather than be frustrated after having spent a sum of money to have new issues, I am not sure vendors care, but sometimes I feel like that they as a whole are just alienating customers
