ASCII text is just byte data ... nothing has to be done to "teach" a Commodore 64 to read ASCII. Displaying it on the screen is slightly problematic because the Commodore 64 uses PETSCII, which is an older version of ASCII, so some characters will be displayed differently, but it's not a terribly big deal.

> that doesn’t mean that these standards have always existed, or will always exist

These are irrelevant "points". ASCII will still be in use when human civilization ends soon (possibly next week due to nuclear war, or else in a few hundred years due to global warming).
What is striking about the language of this letter is the conspicuous
absence of users as stakeholders.

"Police and thieves in the street, scaring the nation with their guns

This is what we have today. Our conversation about "cybersecurity" is
reducing to whether corporations or governments are better (stronger,
tougher, more expert) at protecting the cowering masses. The words
"multi-stakeholder" are used, seemingly as dressing.

Language matters: What learners need to know about Ukrainian
Some people may be compelled. I will look at them in awe.
But content still can't be collapsed/folded below headers [1].

Because of this, docs could already able to be too big to be useful.

"But outlines..." Not helpful since you can't specify to leave out sub-headings. Which means manually editing the outline every update.

That's why I've moved 1000+ pages of docs to Obsidian.md this year. I highly recommend, especially if you might be adhd.

Edit: to anyone interested, this YouTube channel[2] is a great primer on Obsidian.

Radiation as collective punishment for Ukraine.
Who is going to tell him his work is paying for HR people that exist solely so the company can get rid of him when it wants to? Middle managers scheming to juggle his work for their own benefit? CEOs that collude with others to restrict his work mobility?

A union is just a counterweight to executives. If you are not paying for the former, you are definitely paying for the latter.
Yes I would prefer the government take it from him in the form of taxes, allowing a democratic process to determine how the money is spent.
My theory is lot of tech people knew Epstein due to his interest in transhumanism and cryonics. Melinda is pretty pissed on Bill due to his affair and using this to taint his image. I am not saying Bill is good guy, there is simply no evidence but there the accuser has motivation to taint Bill's image.
Embedded system with limited bandwidth, the data was mostly simple values that did not really need escaping 99% of the time (mostly no unicode or control characters in strings, but still _possible_, and we needed the streamability of array-of-structs instead of struct-of-arrays.

Why not some binary format, then? Well, it's easier to debug and share the data with non-technical people (just open in excel or equivalent) without having to run a conversion step.
JPMorgan Warns Russia Faces 1998-Like Collapse in Economy
I've noticed a lot of directed outrage as a result of people unable to find a MSRP graphics card that I would almost treat as funny if it wasn't so scary to see how the internet culture changes. I can't speak to the motivations of grandparent or other single individuals, but I have noticed in other communities a lot of moral arguments being used very selectively that reminds me of my sociology class on the origin of the drug war and how moral outrage at drug use and the harms of drugs were pushed as the reasons for banning drugs, yet such logic was not consistently applied to drugs based on their actual harm to a community.
Yes. Html/css/js is to a first approximation only usable by professionals anyway. It makes no sense to require normal people to employ professionals to simply make web pages.
> The first chance Steve Jobs had to do so, he wrested control of computer software

Are you kidding? He didn't wrestle anything. People chose to buy the iphone, and developers chose to develop for it. You can develop only for android if you want. Good luck developing for only linux in 1990.

As aggressive as Jobs could be, he did not force anything anywhere. The iphone is about as close you can come to a voluntarily purchased high end purchase as you get. It's a free choice. And it's a free choice to develop for iphone.
but the tradeoff is the controller weighs like 40 pounds, because it's a quite powerful wireless access point. Every other drone i've owned that supported video used an android or ios device to connect to the drone via wifi (drone presents as a WAP).

That is not accurate. The modified wi-fi some DJI drones use is not reliant on the smartphone/tablet attached to the controller. It's strictly between the drone and the controller, which passes data on to the phone via USB. The drones can be switched into AP mode for faster media downloads, but at that point they lose connection with the controller. Ocusync controllers weigh 390 grams, and that isn't that much considering their build quality and the fact they have two 18650 cells inside.

Also a climber, and occasional soloist. You can absolutely make a bad move on a solo and not die.

The soloists who achieve notoriety are either pushing the limits, or seeking adrenaline, which skews the stats, especially when you check the number of them that passed doing non-climbing activities. It's not particularly fair to compare that demographic to the average folks who bike in traffic every day.

Soloing well within your limits is like riding a bike on a quiet road, there are things that can go wrong, but something extraordinary has to happen for it to be serious.

Soloing close to (or outside of) your limits is like riding a bike on a busy motorway. The margins for error disappear and mistakes are far more likely to be fatal.
Black & White, a video game from Peter Molyneux in the early 2000s, had this. Unfortunately, the sequel simplified it to a set of slider bars, the company went under, and now Molyneux is focusing on NFTs and other scams.

The Creatures trilogy also had some pretty advanced AI, based on neural nets. They're pretty small by today's standards, but the paper below does a fantastic job of explaining how they are trained while minimizing the computational time.

> Did she ever tell him not to hang out with Epstein anymore and he refused?

Apparently yes. Numerous media reports have said that he had promised not to engage with Epstein any more, and that the event that suddenly precipitated the divorce was a revelation in the New York Times that Bill had been breaking that promise.
Russian just is not a great example of a Slavic language. It is a Slavic language in general yet way too different from the rest of them for a number of reasons.

Encrypted instant messaging is such a train wreck. Nothing works with anything. Hardly anyone knows how to verify identities properly (or at all). The article expresses a fear that Signal messenger might become some sort of standard. The list of reasons presented in the same article effectively prevent that.

XMPP is in fact one reasonable approach to standardization. Unfortunately, the Matrix project has caused an effective standard split. Bridging between the two systems still breaks encryption. Identities are not portable between the two systems either.
Seconded.

I'm a native English speaker in the Czech Republic. I've been struggling to learn Czech for 8 years now. It is my 6th language, not that I'm very fluent in any of the others, but by far the hardest.

I find Slovio much easier to read and understand than Interslavic, which with my A2-to-B1 level Czech remains quite impenetrable.

I've travelled around 5 or 6 Slavic-speaking countries now and often show people Slovio, and though they've never heard of it, they all find that they can read and understand it without problem. I find that an interesting data point.
Many of us offer sacrifices today, too.

In most Slavic countries, it is customary to slay and eat a pig on certain holidays, like Christmas and our Slava.

In the US you kill turkeys for Thanksgiving. How different is that compared to other "sacrifices"?
First, reactor protection systems will start reducing power down to 40% nominal if the turbogenerator load disappears (search for URB in https://inis.iaea.org/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/...).

The power would not be dumped into a resistor: the power would be dumped in form of heat with the turbogenerator disconnected from steam. I expect that you can "just" dump it in the condenser and use the standard cooling of the condenser to dump it into the local body of water. If that's insufficient, one can dump steam from the secondary loop into atmosphere (which necessitates adding water there). You can play with a vver-1000 simulator and see how many of these things work; the simulator whose manual I'm citing above can be easily found on the internet.

Ah, because governments spend money according to democratic process... Yes.
You're right that they would have to take some action, but nothing would stop Russian ISPs from taking over *.root-servers.net, or responding with authoritative responses before reaching those.

Now, to be fair, significant, though temporary, damage could be done to them from the outside (who knows how many Russian systems have their DNS configured to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, for example).
> I guess in short, is it any more absurd to be born twice than once?

Yes, it's much more absurd because once you die, you don't exist anymore, you're lost to entropy forever. Things that appear after you're dead won't be you because your configuration was so rare that it might as well be unique, and more importantly because there isn't a continuous stream of consciousness to experience the pre- and post-death states.
Freedom Feline ?
While I’m not disagreeing with you it’s worth point out there have been middle men in the software industry since it started, publishers and retailers have always taken their cut. Sometime totalling far more than 30%. Apple see themselves as a retailer of software, bricks and mortar retailers take a 30-50% cut of sales. Apple (and Jobs) clearly modelled the App Store on that.

That’s not to so say it’s right, the internet is meant to democratise society and remove these middle men. Apples cut should be significantly lower.

Your entrepreneurial drive is admirable but it sounds like you may be missing "the business" and "market analysis" parts that are necessary for viability. You might consider teaming up with someone who can help you with the business side aka "demand side" of things. I say this because while your technology skills might be superior, making the "right" product at the right time and a focus on who your customers are and what they need is equally if not more important. Generally the idea that a better mouse trap will result in customers beating a path to your door is a falsehood(most of the time). Know your customers. Know what they need, why they need it, and when they need it. You should be able to name your top 50 potential customers by name and understand what they are willing to pay you to solve their problem. If your product is relatively inexpensive you better know your top 1000 customers by name. It takes that level of customer engagement to be successful. You will also need to understand the economics of the problem and solution. and so on... In short don't give up, but focus more on what you are doing wrong and compare your attempts to those who have been successful. My guess is that coding and engineering is not your problem because it rarely is. Start with understanding all the things you might build and the demand for each as well as your ability to create it economically rather than starting with what you can easily build. An obsessive focus on the universe of problem domains you can address is always the best place to start. Most entrepreneurs jump to development prematurely.

Eh, this isn't exactly true. The three main reasons were that the deal did not have permanent enforcement, Iran is still pursuing ballistic missile development (not covered by the deal), and they provide support to the Hezbollah terrorist group (although this is declining and technically done through a non-government group).

I'm curious, what strategic goals did North Korea, Russia, and China achieve during that time that the US should have dealt with, and what could be have done that we haven't already?

A Commodore 64 can certainly read ASCII out of the box since ASCII is just data ... I'm not sure that person purportedly building a Commodore 64 understands how computers work. And the Commodore 64 display hardware expects PETSCII, which is based on ASCII-1963 ... a few characters will be displayed incorrectly, but alphanumerics will be fine.

None of us know much or anything at all about the ethics of Gates, I think it's even unfair to smear his name with Epstein's unless there's actual evidence/allegations of something (Epstein did seek out tychoons, after all, perhaps he was slowly working up to enticing Gates into something compromising?).

If those utilities make up an excessively large portion of your program, C probably isn't the best choice. As long as you don't care about performance lost from the non-zero costs of "zero cost abstractions".

If you're implementing custom data structures, you'll likely be able to make them optimal for your use-case, both from ease-of-use and performance. (except hashmaps. those do suck to write)
There is extensive evidence that Bill Gates had a close relationship with a serial criminal pedophile, sex trafficker, and rapist. It’s all pretty out in public at this point.

My 2c:

I speak Latvian, russian and a bit of Polish. I could easily imagine a Slavic interlanguage, as knowing russian helped a lot with Polish. Learning russian took a lot of effort, though.

So, besides having a bunch of shared nouns, adding Baltic languages to the mix does not make much sense IMO. Despite having a shared ancestor (in theory), Baltic languages are not very mutually intelligible with Slavic.

Edit:

And also, if it does take on this impossible mission, it should at least be called Balto-Slovio.
Tesla Model 3 Driver Dies After It Stops on Highway, Hit by Two Other Vehicles
Interesting side effect of making USB ubiquitous. There are even laws saying it must be used instead of proprietary connectors.

At this point, it is likely cost prohibitive to make a proprietary connector that is not USB.

Perhaps the relevant standards body should take these sorts of needs into account for things like USB which are meant to be used universally. The last thing we need is 'medical grade USB' that costs 100x normal USB.

Talk to the nurses under her, and you learn that Mother Theresa was also an asshole.

I'm sure that Hitler had a redeeming quality or two.

Nobody is purely evil or purely good, although Hitler can gain the "almost purely evil" tag.

Where Gates stands on that spectrum, I have no idea. He's done vast amounts of good and he's done vast amounts of evil. Balancing them depends on how you weight each action, and that's a very personal opinion.
Chernobyl disaster was first detected in Sweden, and in this nuclear plant would be like six Chernobyl, is closer to Europe than Chernobyl was and we can add the 3 reactors still active in Chernobyl also in hands of clueless 20 Yo soldiers. Some of those people claimed that they don't really know whom are fighting, or what are doing here.

By the way, I never say that I was concerned by an explosion blowing half of the continent, but the effects on Germany for example, were measurable and still last. We shouldn't be so naive as to ignore the risk.

Developers can't turn requirements into code. Whole teams and companies struggle mightily to turn a partially-understood subset of the requirements into buggy code.

Ironically, among the reasons Microsoft did so well in the government and large corporate spaces is that Microsoft made the software, not the hardware. Corporations didn't trust that you could only run Apple's software on Apple hardware. They could see the vendor lock in and they didn't want to take the risk of giving Apple the entire homestead.

The story of Apple versus Microsoft has always been a story of a vertical monopoly pointing to a horizontal monopoly and saying how evil they are.
