Sorry, I think I was not clear enough.

There have certainly been efforts to draw arbitrary distinctions between groups based on speech for a very long time, probably going almost as far back as language itself.

What I was referring to was specifically an effort rooted in a desire to use rules of Latin grammar to restrict constructions in English. This was a big thing relatively recently (likely sometime in the past 100-300 years). It is this movement from which we get rules like "never end a sentence with a proposition" or "don't split infinitives" --- those sorts of things.
Thats a good idea, will implement the copy to clipboard option.

Will change it to png if copied from screenshot or if source is png.
I came across a few people on the internet who had convinced their employers to hire them as contractors when they started to realize their work could be done on a part time capacity.

Interestingly, they all worked in the insurance industry.
Since same sex marriage is not inherently sexual, what's wrong with just saying "my sworn life partner and legal spouse"? This would nicely include both traditional marriage across sexes and, e.g. sworn brotherhood, which is the form that same-sex affectionate relationships usually take in traditional societies.
They were always mastered, there was just the 90s-2000s race for loudness that changed how they were mastered. There are some genre's that benefitted from that loudness war (pop music sonics changed dramatically) but yeah anything which should have had subtlety got squashed to oblivion.

How do you feel about more recent re-masters where they have been more sensitive to over-compression and in some cases re-re-mastered to address the appalling re-masters?
I have some issue with re-masters that attempt to fix problems with the source material. I'm not a huge fan of artists tinkering with the original material, adding elements that got lost in the mix due to overdubs/noise, were not technically possible, or just re-mixing for their taste. At least Taylor Swift is up-front about re-recording her albums.

My gut is that music recorded/mastered to tape is going to sound 'as intended' on vinyl and everything recorded digitally (the old DDD label on CDs) targeted CD. I have nothing scientific to back that up though.
Slack has video calls… they’re Shite though ;)

Every major regional ISO does in North America and most of the ones in the equivalent market organizations in Europe do as well. The historian data this uses was made easily publishable about 8 years or so ago and you can get quite detailed API dumps from most of them, although usually at a time-delay to meet their requirements for market protection.

Worldwide OSIsoft's PI is the outsized leader in that but there are numerous other historians with modernized REST API outputs, etc, from Canary Labs and most SCADA systems will at least include their own discount version built on top of Postgres or something. The more dedicated ones use time-series databases versus relational ones but with modern storage and processing that isn't as big of a performance issue as it was in the 80s and 90s.

OATI is big in that space as well for inter-utility aggregation and transfer, as well as some other company I'm blanking on the name of out of Illinois that was widely used as least in WECC.
None of the comments here are helpful. You could call it however you like, rhetorical point-scoring or not, to the vast majority of people who read the word “uprising” it comes off as this romantic movement of liberation. As an Israeli this bothers me. Needles to say it bothers me even more when Israelis do this towards the other side. For me, this is very much a reality and not just a “words game”.

BTW, this is not to say I agree with this law.
> How to overcome this?

You start with branching out to actually different programming languages. If you already know PHP, don't go and learn Java or C#, you basically already know those from PHP, you're only missing knowledge of the public API (what methods should be called when, naming conventions) and so on.

Instead, seek languages that when you see them the first time you say "wow, I don't understand anything" and sit down and try to learn one of those. For me, Clojure was always one of those languages that kindled the "what the hell is that" feeling in me, but after reading a lot of praise for the language, I started learning it anyways.

Now I work on Clojure(Script) code full-time, and programming is finally a fun thing to do again.

I won't try to learn Common Lisp or anything like that next, as I know that if I spent the time, it'd be easy, it's just Clojure but with different functions to call, different conventions, but mostly the same. So the next language I'm targeting is Rust. A C-like language, but new concepts around the borrow-checker and lifetimes, something I've been exposed to before, but not this literally.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but would your friends not still be working 8h/day? How would having 4h/day help see your friends? Did all of you manage to cut it down to 4h/day?!
Thanks!

The purpose of AI here is to create a student model to personalize learning, increase students' motivation, and increase their speed of learning.

It’s hard for students to know what and for how long to study, and when they’ve mastered something. By analyzing a student’s performance, we estimate their current knowledge, and use it to determine factors such as the best repeat frequency, the type of question, and the difficulty of the question.

For example, studies show that students stop studying when they don’t fully know the material, and they don’t study material they think they’ve already learned. By guiding them through a study plan and using spaced-repetition, we can improve the speed of learning and reduce the effects of forgetting.

Our model accounts for forgetting, guessing, the order of answers, and a student’s baseline knowledge to predict their current knowledge. While we are currently training the model for the NY Regents exam, we have tested it on EdNet, the largest publicly-available education dataset available, and it has the highest predictive accuracy among competing models, with an AUC of 0.7892.

How would you do it differently? For someone I worked with closely, sure, I'd just paste the ticket ID and start talking to them about it.

When I have to talk to someone whom I don't have an existing relationship with and maybe only have a tenuous recommendation to talk to them about an issue I think it's a reasonable place to start. They might actually not know about the thing I'm asking about and have a better idea of who to speak to.

I still do CDs, iTunes and iTunes Match.

I get all of the streaming benefits, etc on my phone, without having to deal with a shitty streaming service. iTunes Songs are DRM free.

Plus, since I’m pretty firmly established in the Apple world, I have an easy escape path for when they finally fuck up the music app beyond my level of tolerance.

Cost-wise, it’s about the same. I probably spend about $100 year on music most years.

None of your links details anything about how the perpetrators in those attacks were able to enter Israel due to being naturalized through marriage.

In addition, the article notes that several supported of the law (at least one who's in Knesset) claim that the invention is for Israel to maintain its "Jewish character".
In my experience, DVD players have gotten steadily more able to deal with damaged discs over the years. But still, if one doesn't play in one player, it might play in another, or maybe a blueray machine will play it. It's not predictable.

Sometimes, washing the disc will get it to play. Sometimes, rubbing a tiny bit of oil (!) on it will get it to play.

If you enable ad personalization then they have an ad settings panel where they let you know what they think you're interested in. For instance, Google Ads thinks I'm a married disk jockey living in Orange County who listens to pop and hip hop and loves bread making, aviation, and environmentalism. They let us turn some of it off, but there's no option to tell them what we like.

I don't use multiplication or division. I just know 0=32, 10=50, 20=68, 22=72(aka room temp), 30=86, and 40=104 (aka really hot). I just estimate from there.
That's a good point. I do think the push to get users on mobile has a good deal to do with the difficulty of blocking ads on mobile. Maybe that's where we're headed. Instead of making adblockers illegal users will be herded into locked down platforms that don't allow adblockers.
I would work part-time, but what cuts to my benefits would that entail? I already work ~20 hours per week in a job that gives me full-time benefits and pay, and I get every single goal done that I am required to achieve here. Why should the old-school butts-in-seats agenda have anything to do with my work output? I provide the same value for my company right now that I would if they cut my "hours" to half, so why would I agree to a pay cut in that case?

I know that I am very privileged to be able to work as I do in my career, and I've worked in warehouses, janitorial duties, etc. so I know how hard it can be to do those kinds of jobs where there isn't the ability to get the same job done in less hours; although I do have to say if you told a warehouse worker at the warehouse I worked at "get X number of pulls done, safely, then go home and I'll pay you for the day anyways" I would imagine they could be working for ~4 hours a day as well (there's a lot of down-time at some of those jobs, due to the fact there is no reason to be quicker). Only on the manufacturing floor where I worked do I think you'd really have to work the full 8-10 hours to get the number of units built, but in that case there was definitely room for process improvement.

This isn't about discharging the battery "under 0%" or charging it "over 100%", as car batteries already only go between 25% and 85% effective charge, this is about forcibly keeping them what should be between 35% and 75% (for the "60" => "40" kWh models)

https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-...

And while this does have some extra benefit in terms of battery lifetime, it's fucked up that you wouldn't be able to choose the % charge on batteries that you supposedly own.
I'm not privy to any details, but a simple possibility would be to replace the destination address of any transfers initiated during the time period. You could even re-write all the DOM to hide double checks. It might have even been possible to initiate the server side request directly - but even if there was a 2FA confirmation of the transaction that included the address - I could easily see $2m worth of transfers successfully rerouted. This attack easily could have been against a bank with online wire transfers - the challenge there would be laundering the money.

I don't know much about this specific third party javascript and it's possible that tighter CSP policies could have mitigated some of the attack vectors. However, once you can MITM, it's really game over.

Before we blame usage of the js CDN, they could have performed the TLS attack on KLAYswap instead and then just reverse proxied while strategically rewriting data. It's possible that with this specific setup that the js CDN was the lowest hanging fruit.

This is such an fundamental and structural attack (BGP poisoning to screw with certificate ownership validation) that I find the comment by Phill Hallam-Baker incredulous. Perhaps there is a hobby horse against automatic certificate exchange (there is a mention on EV certs, which were such an obvious scam) or it's just a middlebrow rant about "javascript dependent pages".

There are many attacks possible with this method and plenty that will work on the simplest request/response Web 1.0 architectures.

I have no interest in going back to vinyl and I don't have most of my old albums any longer. But if you want retro physicality of your music medium, vinyl probably has a lot more appeal than the alternatives. I do buy CDs from time to time if they're as cheap or cheaper than MP3s (or they're something oddball I can't buy digitally). But I generally then just rip them and put the physical CD in a box in the attic.
Here is one that is particularly insidious: some of the remasters are done with new tracks, wherein the old musicians are replaced with session musicians, who do not have to be paid royalties and the like. I found out about this practice and began listening carefully ...
I can't think of why I'd practically need or want this. I know on some level it's a toy, and there are better ways to implement all of this stuff if you're trying to make cost-effective hardware projects.

However, wow do I want one. This is so cool, I heckin love this. I love everything about this. The whole thing just looks delightful from the blocks, to the configuration/programming, to how real-time and responsive the feedback is when moving blocks around and hooking stuff up.

Amazing presentation too, this video is really well made.
there's nothing wrong with that. there are valid reasons to say just hello. but if someone asks me to not I can do them the favor to consider my reasons and their preference.

preferences can't trump each other. it's simply information that helps communication.

and if someone just says hi and the other party gets mad for not respecting their preference, that's a different thing. that's their inflexibility and arrogance for thinking that people need to respect their preference.

that said, if someone initiates communication because they want something from someone it makes sense to be nice to them after all the sender wants something. but it's just that, an opportunity to be considerate of the other. (I'm not even sure I'd notice it in someone's slack status even if I'm DMing them. but I try to accommodate my coworkers' communication preferences, because remote work is already too alienating in itself, yet there are days when I just ask them to type instead of voice chat, etc.)
For me, it was the trouble of inadquate losless download offerings by so many labels / distributors. Even if you just want a digital library, getting the physical medium and making your private digital copy is a so much more stress-free variant, and it also doesn't limit your choice, because almost all music is available on CD and a much smaller fraction as well-produced losless audio downloads. I'm not paying CD price for a mp3, it's not the 2000s anymore, I can afford to download 700M of data for an album --- data saving was the original purpose of lossy audio codecs to begin with.
Reminds me - of course - of ReBirth, from 'back in the day'...when the iPad first came out I was incredibly pleased to find ReBirth had a port to it. (Edit: I'm sad to see it's since been removed. Damn.)

I wanna say I first played with ReBirth in 2002/3(?) - I was 12/13 - and that was my introduction to - at least - the 303/808/909.

What's great about these pieces of software, is that just by playing around of them, they are great tools to learn about the fundamentals of synthesis.

The Roland JD-XI is a more recent multi-layered synth that features a whole drum machine, an analog monophonic bass synth, and two polyphonic synths, all attached to a fantastic sequencer. I highly recommend checking that out if anyone is interested in a nice modern hardware equivalent to something like this.
>The last straw for me was when I discovered packages in their package repo (some of which were well-known names) that were compiled against musl when the upstream developers quite clearly wrote in their docs that "if you compile X against anything other than libc, you're on your own".

(I assume you meant "glibc", not "libc".)

That's how every software works. The software developer cares about A, B, C distros at most, so other distros are on their own. The maintainer of distro D takes responsibility themselves to make the package work on D. The maintainer needs to understand the software well enough to be able to assert that it will work on their distro, patch it as necessary to make that happen, and maintain those patches in the light of bug reports from the distro users.

>(And yes I raised some of these as bug reports, but the cases got closed and nothing done about it).

Well, yeah. Unless you find something that is irrecoverably broken against musl such that it can only be fixed by compiling against glibc, your bug report is pointless.
No offense to your colleague, but if you get angry against a piece of tech to a point where you can't even stand to sell it, I think you have more issues than a bad laptop...

The technical term for such utterances is "ungrammatical", for what it's worth. This is a term with less uhhh shall we say "ideological baggage" than one built with the word "incorrect".

That said, the specific example being cited from the original blog post is not considered marked in many native English dialects.

And, indeed, I believe that we should be less concerned with such labels even with non-native English speakers. Since English has effectively become the world's go-to language of international communication, we should seek to understand other people's intent rather than attempt to correct arbitrary (and, frankly, unimportant) artifacts in their grammatical constructions.
