I find it interesting when folks look at themselves as different than others. I don't have any first hand knowledge of what is going on with these guards, but I do know that I am not better than them. I am just as human and have all of the same frailties so I cannot say what I would do in their situation. At best I can say I hope I would do better.
It is for backwards compatibility, but you're thinking about it in reverse. It's so that modern browsers can also render pages written to older standards correctly as well. They will not use "HTML 5 mode" unless the page explicitly declares that it's HTML 5. Nor should they, because you can't have a valid HTML 5 page without it.
I'm not seeing it. Looks like a regular asset on a multiline string to me. Can you clarify?

I actually wonder if the anti-nuclear sentiment in the EU might have been partly Russia's doing, we know how much they like to influence other countries' public opinion. Getting Germany to turn off its nuclear reactors to rely more heavily on Russian gas before an invasion of Ukraine would make a lot of tactical sense.

That is an excellent and entertaining podcast. I particularly like his descriptions out how our pronunciation of words has changed over time.
And you think the government is doing it out of transcendant charity?
The opposite is true, nuclear energy has lits of problems in the long run.
Many french reactors are shut down because of damages and the US ones have a problem with fake parts.

The site creator has been publicizing it to some extent. I think it's mainly just that A. it's new and B. Forth is a fairly niche interest. It'll be interesting to see if they're able to bootstrap and maintain a community there.
Denuclearization might not have helped, but we've been reliant on Russian gas a lot longer than the post Fukushima changes...
A few ideas that I've seen out in the wild:
- Engage with your most consistent readers and find out what makes them such big fans. Use that to create premium/paid content.
- turn into a paid newsletter (or paywall for the blog). Keep some content free but write additional content for paid subscribers.
- add a premium content tier that could include: slack community, monthly "mastermind" or guest events, job board access, etc
- turn each article into a podcast episode, youtube video, twitter thread, etc. to earn more advertising revenue and/or grow audience
This is interesting...

The linked article is titled "Cryptonomicon", and written by Will Stephenson, and a book with the same title was written by Neal Stephenson.

Yet, no mention of Neal or his book in the article. So I wonder where he got the word for his title?

Homeowners typically go ballistic at any concept for something other than single family homes in their neighborhoods.

Certainly allowing something as modest as allowing say 25% of lots in R-1 areas to be duplexes would go a long way to helping, as would allowing so called granny units (small houses in back yards or as part of garage) would also make quite a difference.

In school, back in the early 90s, I was one of the few who'd acquired the eldritch knowledge of making arj compressed files span multiple floppy disks automatically.

Russia is still on SWIFT (as of today) and still legal to do business with for the most part. Check with your lawyer, but unless your contractors are sanctioned entities or contracting through one, I would think you pay them however you've been paying them. Whether it might be prudent and ethical to start moving your business elsewhere is another question.

EDIT: If their Russian banks being sanctioned is the problem, I suppose you might have to use crypto. This is likely to draw attention and I would really be consulting your lawyer at that point. I realize that just firing everybody overnight may not be a practical solution if there is any other resort.

Pimsleur Chinese is excellent, but it takes patience to get into it, especially if you know a little bit already. There's a spaced repetition schedule, and you're not aligned when you start. Caveats:

1) You don't see spaced repetition working until a few weeks in, once you're on a schedule.

2) You can't have gaps, so you can't just start in the middle.

3) If you know stuff, you need to keep with it until it gets into new stuff.

From there, it has to be done daily. If you miss 2-3 days, it's a chore to get back onto the schedule. I did it when I had a commute, so investing 30 minutes per day was easy. It added no time to my day, and by the end of 3 months, I knew /a lot/ of Chinese for not a lot of time invested. I was on-par with people who had roughly 2 years of college classes for speaking (but not reading or writing, which Pimsleur doesn't touch on). My accent was better too.

Once I finished, there was nowhere to go. Nothing else was nearly as efficient. I kind of plateaued. There are better tools now; this was many years ago.

I did the library/CDs route, so it was free.

I highly recommend the same path.

I haven't found anything good for writing Chinese. Does anyone have recommendations? Ideally, it'd leverage a pen tablet or iPad pencil or similar.

I really don't understand why calling me ignorant or uninformed is neccesary. I'm just bringing up some counterpoints - something else to consider, I'm not recommending a diet based on soybean oil or anything.

I'm curious if you have any direct response to my points - do you know of any reasons that could make another deodorized oil a better option? I would really love to hear it, since I do recommend people that soybean oil is healthier than deodorized palm, canola, or peanut oil.
People and landscapes are quite different things, maybe pick one and focus on that.

It also depends a lot on what you want to achieve (for example, do you want to draw people in a comic-like art style, or do quick sketches of people on the subway, or do anatomically correct nude drawings). Based on that, you can try to find a book or course that fits you. There's a lot on youtube, I would recommend that over a book today, as you get different angles and the process of doing it much better.

For good and extensive free anatomy lessons, check out Proko on Youtube. There are also "timed life drawing" or "timed gesture drawing" videos which will show you a sequence of nude/non-nude poses with a timer for quickly sketching. You should check out some gesture drawing instructions, e.g. by Proko, before that though, otherwise it might be intimidating.

If you want a more comic book like approach, check out David Finch on Youtube.

Good instruction books for most beginners are Andrew Loomis' books. He was a classical advertising artist.

Books on "urban sketching" can also be helpful, because they are based on doing things quickly and without too many tools. On Youtube, you can check out TeohYiChie, he has plenty of Urban Sketching videos, in a beautiful but very loose style that is inviting to imitate.

And the most important thing is of course to just do it and do it.

The same regions have the lowest per-capita carbon output. Perhaps we should tie reproductive rights to carbon footprint, to increase the proportion of low-pollution individuals. I'm only being half-sarcastic.

That... is a statement.

So, the guy that openly flouts decades of prison time and enemy-of-the-state status (from the richest first-world country with a nearly unlimited budget for tracking enemies down) to give the world definitive proof of American fuckery for the sake of morals and public good is "not very principled"?

> He’d be the first modern hero

No, he'd be yet another modern martyr.

He's under no obligation to continue crusading. He has already done so much good, let the man retire.

What is it with people expecting their idols to come out and openly crusade for the opinions they want to hear? Do you need a feeling of reassurance or something? Let your opinions stand on their own, you don't need a celebrity to validate them.

> And the algos won’t change, not one bit. And there will still be no human oversite of these sorts of bans.

YouTube does not care. They only care when large popular cable TV networks or large partners leave YouTube. When that happens, that is a big frown for advertisers. Small users, creators or live-streamers have no chance against being listened to by YouTube. The algorithms won't ban the partners throwing cash at them but the small users will get banned automatically and YouTube doesn't care and won't care.

That is how it is on YouTube and their private platform with their rules or ToS and we have known for years that they continue to do this and ultimately, they will NEVER change.

I think you misunderstood the thrust of my argument.

A Rails model that talks directly to an RDBMS table, does indeed couple your business logic directly to your data storage representation. I'm not arguing with that.

There are two ways to fix this, though. And most people only consider one of them.

The "software-oriented" way to fix the coupling — and the one that software developers usually reach for — is to embrace domain-driven Hexagonal architecture on the inward edge: to create a domain layer within the business layer that defines its own non-DB-synchronized domain objects; and then to write an explicit DB gateway that can be Commanded and Queried with those domain objects, where that layer translates those domain objects into relational row-tuples.

(Note that this is separate in concept from embracing Hexagonal architecture on the outward edge. Gateway abstractions + internal-domain/external-view model isolation+translation are well-suited concepts to encapsulating the different rates-of-change needs of your system vs. the external systems it interacts with. That's what the Hexagonal-architecture concept was invented for, and why MVC separates Controllers from Views.)

The "database-oriented" way to fix the coupling, is to continue to model your business domain within the DB, but to model it in a faceted, denormalized way, such that each query-schema gets its own view, and each command-schema gets its own writable view driven by a trigger + stored procedure, and the tables where data actually lives (and what columns/types/indices they have) are an implementation detail of how those views were written. Just like in OOP, you hide the data, encapsulating it behind an API (the views.)

When your Rails models bind to these "schemas", each Rails model then inherently represents a Query-result or a Command-changeset — without having to complexify your business layer. These objects can just be your domain objects. You're getting your domain objects directly from the database, and sending them directly into the database, because the database itself contains the translation layer mapping the domain into the storage representation. Just as with the first approach, you're free to change these mappings at any time — you just add some DB schema migrations which add/update/remove the views backing the models, and re-point your models at the new views. (If you create these views using unique-per-version names, then different versions of your app can even live in peace together, with all their versioned bits-and-pieces of translation layer co-existing and being shared between where relevant.)
Wow, that’s impressively disconnected from reality.

The reason why Germany and indirectly most of Europe hasn’t stopped buying gas from Russia is because, despite being a massive (the most massive?) solar and renewable economy, those don’t work very well during the winter.

I’m literally pointing out the emperor has no clothes which is why they’re freezing?

If they were in a climate with better insolation and more predictable renewable sources, then they’d probably be fine. But they aren’t.

If they had adequate storage to deal with peak energy demand during minimum insolation, or had another adequate source, then they would have cut Russia off years ago. But they don’t.

They used to, but they have been shutting them down and not building replacement capacity.

Instead they’re paying out the nose and scrambling because they don’t have viable options, and resisting the political motions they would otherwise do because Russia has them over a barrel.
That was sort of my point, though. The idea that our elites are now going to take a harder line on China for their involvement with Russia is laughable, given what they've turned a blind eye to in the past.

There's too much money on the table for them to risk angering China.
That is not the reason why it is marked unsafe, rather how the C FFI works on Rust.

So now is safety memory safety, or POSIX cross platform semantics safety?

Better make your mind what safe actually means in Rust.
Sure it was. Your data is a currency that buys you the services.
Exactly.

A corollary to this is that this is the reason why memorizing flash cards/massive lists of words can be counter productive. A degree of that is helpful to start, but you really need to see words in proper context, repeatedly.
I'm using FAR in Windows (10 now) every day. I'm using it as my command-lime shell, really, never run cmd or powershell. For everything my console needs (and I'm using a lot of coretools/filetools in the form of mingw64).

I don't know how to live on Windows without it, it is first program I install, even earlier than alternative browser.
"Revenge porn" laws have been on the books for about a decade or so and haven't slowed it down at all. In fact, all they've done is push it further underground. The only practical effect has been on the media of distribution, not if or to what degree "revenge porn" is distributed. That most legislatures across the country favor over-broad criminalization does not make your claim meaningfully representative of the people who are subject to these laws or of the courts who will ultimately adjudicate the issue. Every case is tried on its own merits, not ones prescribed by popularity or mere practicality.
Non-coding collaboration is so much easier in person, and it's the main reason I don't want 100% remote. It's so much easier to have meetings in person with a whiteboard to draw a flowchart/diagram/brainstorm than doing it remotely, even with virtual whiteboards, it's still not great. Digital also encourages people to have longer and bigger meetings, which is still just a huge waste, sitting in a meeting on mute with a camera off doing other work and listening for the 30 seconds that matter is far more draining than going to an office and meeting a sane number of people for 15-30 minutes.
Well I wouldn't judge the authenticity of a site based on the SSL cert which the OP seemed to do which was my point
Employing that many people would likely cost in the region of Google's entire earnings. It would make Youtube, or any service like it, financially impossible for anyone to run. So sure, I'm not saying we need Youtube, but what you're saying is we can't have it or anything like it.

Someone did just apparently answer me on the on-website chat thing (84 concurrent users at the moment!), but live chat is the last thing to reach critical mass—forums could work with one user a week, answering the previous week's user, but live chat needs multiple people online at the same time.
Unit 3 was just behind a wall, but 1 and 2 were quite far away (300-500m).

They all had multiple serious incidents before and after the Chernobyl Disaster (1982 - partial core meltdown at #1, 1984 - incidents at #3 and #4, 1991 - fire at the turbine hall of #2). This was the most unsafe nuclear power plant in the whole USSR and the operators were in grave danger all the time.

I find myself possessed of this strange power to disdain the imperial ambitions of both the USA and Russia.
> as you claim immediately above

The claim was regarding nuclear VS solar (either/or), in which case yet, solar is a terrible bet. I stand by that.

> People mining and refining silicon, cadmium, and tellurium and making solar panels out of them do not get power for free

And you say I'm being naive...

Firstly, the price of the panels doesn't even match the price of production because of subsidies.

Secondly, they do get power for free: the well-known, terrible cost of burning fossil fuels at their current scale is not incorporated into the price of fossil fuels. Capitalist markets are not capable of doing so.

So my point is if you were to actually price fossil fuels according to their cost solar panel production would not be competitive with nuclear in any way.

> When your panel's production output pays off its purchase cost, its output has (much more than) exceeded the energy used to produce it.

Sure, it can pay off its purchase cost, but as above, that means absolutely nothing. A more interesting payment would be watts-in, watts-out, in which case I'd wager you get marginal gains. And if the watts-in are generated with fossil fuels, you're doing a lot more damage than you think.

Regarding nuclear, sure it's expensive, but a lot of that is artificial, and a lot of the high comparative cost is due to the price/cost disparity in fossil fuels. And hey, as a bonus, it works at night and on cloudy days and you don't need to build an enormous battery which is another can of worms people love to gloss over.
Idk why people always brings this up, but those nuclear weapons never belonged to Ukrainians. Soviet Union was the controller and had codes of it. It would be never in the hand of Ukraine.
High price of oil is good for Russia only if they have buyers.

And yes, in the short term it will hurt us but in the longer term you are disarming the influence of a bad actor with the added benefit of incentivizing cleaner energy and perhaps more efficient means of transportation.
> I don't know why we've decided to allow things to exist "at scale" willy nilly.

Because we allow things to exist by default. Because we're a free society.

If you want an exception, then recognize and carve that out within the democratic process, not by preemptively applying authoritarianism.
This is a good place for an early intervention. I had u and the consonants explained to me around lesson 2-3, and I did fine. I practiced them every time, comparing myself to the speaker.

I got railroaded on the difference between i and e. My chi and my che sound basically the same. This is little enough that people seem to understand well enough, but it's sometimes a bit awkward.
My theory is that nuclear worked best in Sim City and that's where most of us draw our governmental experience from.

Well don't do that. I'm not doing it and I'm fine. It's not like Youtube is the society.
That's making a giant assumption that the employer considers software development to be a core operation in their business. For a lot of companies, paying for software is like paying for a copier - you buy the thing to sit in the office, maybe you pay for X years of maintenance, and when it stops working you buy another one. Maybe at a business with tons of copiers you'll have staff trained in how to maintain and repair them internally, but that's never going to be considered a core operation.

A lot of businesses treat software like copiers; they don't want to build it (because they don't consider themselves "tech"). And for a lot of the developers that make or maintain this software, there is little incentive to build it to last.
A fake guarantee, because it is impossible to actually enforce it for every filesystem in use.
