I wonder if, like I, people see the word "Russia" and think it means two distinct things: the mobsters and their network of organized embezzling and crime and terror to protect themselves who currently control the Kremlin, and the millions of innocent people along for the ride.

Seems Russia has this tail recursive shitty luck of essentially mobsters raping the country for well over a century.

That is fair of course. And it really is a balance!

I just think that it's almost always better to take the high road, deal with this as best you can, and benefit from being seen as accommodating.
this article suggests otherwise.

> At first, we felt that maybe doing it purely in JavaScript was futile. We spent some time trying to glue together UITableView with React Native, and while we made meaningful progress, it started feeling overly complicated. After stepping back and thinking about what else we could do — it hit us. We already solved this problem once before on the web! We already had an internal List component that virtualizes its children. There is no way we could just drop it into React Native right?

I'm also curious why it took them so many pain points to reach list virtualization as their solution. That would've been my first thought.
Sure, I'll be straight up honest: (for me personally) security plays only a small role, I just don't want to see ads.

Is muting the radio/TV unethical? Should I be forced to look at billboards on the highway? What about skipping the page of ads in a newspaper/magazine?

Nowhere else do people try to make the argument I am obligated to view ads, even if the ads subsidize a cheap/free product.

Why is the web special? Why is it suddenly unethical to avoid ads while browsing the web?
I recently bought an LG Gram 17" for use as a Linux developer laptop. So far, I'm absolutely delighted with it: huge 2560x1600 screen, fast, silent, hardly weighs a thing, decent battery life, Thunderbolt 4 and everything works in Ubuntu 22.04, without special drivers. Definitely worth a look.
One just has to consider how they would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.

For instance, ~25 people died during the US protests in summer 2020. Not many, but probably more than in the convoy protests. If the US Government had gone ahead and frozen the assets of the people involved, how would one feel?
You might even say they had a positive impact
I would be very interested. How can I get in touch?
I like System76, and my two previous work laptops came from them (both served me for over four years each; I only had to replace the last one due to a hard to diagnose RAM issue), but I can't recommend them to anyone outside of the US. By now they really should have gotten into bed with an EU distributor to handle warrantee, customs, and shipping, because it's just too costly and too much of a hassle to deal with System76 with an ocean in between.

I'm using a Dell XPS 13 pre-loaded with Ubuntu now. I had to order it by telephone because the option to configure it with 32GB of RAM and Ubuntu wasn't available on their website (in this respect Dell really sucks with their localized web shop, but at least you can contact them within the EU), but no hassle with customs and shipping, and warrantee isn't limited to the US standard of one year by default, but the EU mandated standard of two years. If it breaks down, I can get a replacement within a week; that's just impossible with overseas commerce.
I purchase the physical books as well ones I bought on kindle or audiobooks that I think will age well, want to read again or want my kids to peruse at some point. Scanning a library on a kindle just isn't the same.
I don't think distribution channel can be ad-free as such, let alone claiming every page on the internet needs to agree to this. Would be great if I can get access to superb resources without paying for them but that is not going to happen, hence ads. If you don't like ads (or block them), how come you are not a freeloader?
You feel slightly resentful, but if there was an incipient failure of the actuator and the next step might've been a stuck-open throttle then you should probably be a bit grateful too, right?
AFAIK, LG's 5K monitors are their UltraFine series which have very bad reviews from actual buyers.
Personally, I rarely come across a site that makes it harder to agree than disagree. I find both paths equally annoying.
Ah, today, probably not. But if it was proven safe enough to not need one, sure. I'd look at the safety data and decide.

But the point is, no manufacturer would sell one without a wheel either because they know it wouldn't sell. This is just a change to not require one to pass safety tests. The car still has to actually pass the safety tests though.
I'll celebrate junk food all I want, thank you very much. I love the absolute junk heap of fast food, mass produced puddings and cakes and the combini bentos too. The retort pouches and freeze dried meals occupy a special spot in my heart.
Not sure what your statement has to do with the claims the parent made.
Pero ¿por qué no los dos?
From my understanding, CDs are actually quite prone to damage because the layer that stores the data is actually on the "label" side of the CD. Anything that damages the label can also damage the data layer just underneath.

DVDs moved the data layer into the middle - sandwiched between two layers of plastic, Blu-rays move it to the surface opposite the label, but add a protective coating to try to keep it from getting damaged[1]. I think DVDs are actually the least prone to permanent damage from scratches because of their sandwich structure - surface scratches can often be buffed out. However all 3 can also progressively rust if damage exposes the recording layer to air[2].

> "you're on your own" is like, the expected thing when you are doing something different.

Indeed. And that's fine. As long as you're willing to support that difference.

But the "Alpine compiling XYZ against musl" thing is/was just being done blindly by Alpine (i.e. load X into auto-build and let it rip). Sure it compiled without errors. But it never ran properly.
I am no fan of Spotify and similar services, I keep buying CDs and ripping them into MP3.
uBlock Origin + NextDNS has been a pretty amazing combo for me.

If you want to really take it even further you can setup pfsense or any other edge router that supports IP blocking and then (at least on your home network) block the IP's of common DNS providers other than the one you want your devices to use. This stops apps and devices that have hardcoded IP's trying to do encrypted DNS (DoH or DoT) to bypass your preferred DNS choices. Its a bit of a game of whack-a-mole but I find they do not change all that often. Unfortunately of course this does not do anything for when you may be walking around using mobile data on a phone (at this point now only NextDNS would be in play - still better than nothing) but I suppose you could run a VPN back to your home network if you wanted to.
when you buy a CD from amazon.. for lots of them, you can download the MP3s right away after you paid for it
I normally hate laptops but I had to buy one due to Covid and went with a Precision 7750. I didn't bother with a dedicated graphics card, and chose the minimum spec RAM and NVMe, but I did opt for the 4K display with WWAN for the 4G modem. I purchased 128GB RAM and a 2TB NVMe elsewhere and just put them in. Final cost was under £4k

It's actually quite decent. I'm not sure I can upgrade the modem to 5G though.
The JSON output just dumps curlconverter's internal representation of a parsed curl command. You could use it if you want to use curlconverter to parse curl commands and then do stuff with that parsing yourself in a language other than JavaScript. You would install the command line tool then use your language's command-running library. For example, from Python:

import subprocess
import json

result = subprocess.run(['curlconverter', '--language', 'json', 'example.com'], capture_output=True, text=True)
command = json.loads(result.stdout)
print(command)
> The only problem is there is no legal way of obtaining DRM free digital copies of movies or tv shows.

I think that depends on where you are. Maybe someone will correct me, but I was under the impression that here in the US you can "format-shift" a DVD or BD you legally own by ripping it to an unencrypted format so you can watch it on your tablet or what-have-you. Isn't that the legal leg iTunes stood on (before ITMS) for ripping CDs to listen to on your computer or iPod?

> Israel is in a constant state of war and danger of losing its sovereignty. No such justification existed in South African Apartheid.

That's not historically correct. Violence was absolutely a stated reason / pretense of South African apartheid, especially violence between different Black tribes. I'm not sure if that should be considered "war" or not, but it's as much war as what presently goes on between Israelis and Palestinians.
That doesn't address the point at all. Russia would be just as happy to prosecute facebook for letting pro-ukrainian propaganda stay up anywhere anyway, and what exactly is facebook meant to show a facebook user in Crimea? Russian propaganda or Ukrainian?

> Am I to think you're saying that LGBTQ+ people shouldn't be allowed to discuss marriage rights, even though straight people have been afforded that right and freely talk about their marriages in front of people who are affected by laws outlawing their unions?

Are we to think you're honestly too stupid to see that discussing marriage rights is something totally different than talking about their actual marriages? We can, if you want. If not, we'd have to conclude it's a conscious tactic; twisting facts and your opponent's words into something they didn't say or doesn't happen.

We could then think this is a constant tactic of yours... But I'd prefer to ascribe it to temporary rhetorical overheating in discussing a burning cause. Hope you've put out the flames and cooled down now.

I am from India and VCRs came into my life in the mid to late 80s. Initially, VCRs were so damn expensive (because they were all imported) and you would rent them for a weekend and a few films. The whole family, friends and neighbors would gather for a 'weekend binge watch' before binge watching even became a thing. It wasn't uncommon to rent 8 to 10 films and watch them back to back.

When I got to high school, we had domestic electronics companies manufacturing VCRs in India and we bought one at our home. A video rental store in our neighborhood had an excellent collection of English language films and a rental would cost Rs. 10 ($1 US ~ Rs. 13 to Rs. 16 those years). I would spend hours going through their collection and reading the synopsis on the jacket/sleeve before picking a couple of films to watch.

DVD/Blu-ray/Streaming today is better but the VCR/VHS nostalgia is a lot more than just the tech due to the lived experience of that era.
Sad story.

I hope she reconsiders naming her daughter for the girl who died tragically.

My sister was named for a cousin that, as a baby, fell out a window to her death, a decade or so before my sister was born. When my sister was a couple weeks old, my parents realized that they didn't want to think of that tragic story every time they said my sister's name. So they changed her name to one without the emotional baggage.

There are other ways to honor someone's memory, that don't affect your relationship with your new child.
> Service discovery

I don't consider this advertising either. If there is a list of services somewhere and people consult it voluntarily, then it's not really advertising, it's information. People are informing themselves about what's available.

For example, I don't consider an online store to be advertising. The whole reason I went there is to see products, so it's totally fine when products are shown. It becomes unethical when they start shoving products in my face everywhere I go.

Are you Libyan? I have never heard the views of someone who is inside the country about the "Arab spring" (as we called it) and the UN's intervention.

I do think the biggest obstacle to part time work in the US is that health care is tied to employment. Health insurance can easily cost $20k+ a year for a family, and it'll be hard for employees to stomach the salary cut they might have to take to make the numbers work.
I agree in principle, but mastering the syntactic quirk-fest of bash and other shells is really a bit weird, in that surprises arise at runtime.

ISIS, gays being thrown off buildings... Press F to doubt.

Grenada was barely bombed at all.

>Or if your assessment was correct, then in spite of such a large budget, the US has managed to get beaten by a handful of Stone Age countries.

Name any large engagements or battles where the US "got beaten" in Iraq, Syria, Grenada, Afghanistan, etc. Even the biggest "loss" in Vietnam (Tet Offensive) was a huge tactical failure for the North Vietnamese. Nonetheless, it ended up being a strategic failure for the US because it turned the public tide against the war.
I came to comment for this very reason. I care a lot about humidity. Ideally you could include both humidity (dew point is the best measure of humidity, btw) and feels like, but just the humidity would be enough.

But yeah, as others mentioned, rainfall, storms, cloudiness, etc, are all things that would be great to include.

This makes sense if you're talking to business people. They don't know or care about the details, they're looking for something with basic graphics, a few big numbers, and some soundbites. I'd feel ripped off I spent my time at a tech talk in my area that did that.
A few things:

> he was a large contributing factor to the previous SolveSpace lead maintainer quitting

If you look at https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/714, it refers to "a few people [who] behave in a way that is unconstructive and directly leads to maintainer burnout [...] have not encountered this level of entitlement and persistence when working on any other OSS, of which I maintain plenty, and I do not wish to encounter it ever again.". That's this guy. At the time I chose not to name him publicly nor to ban him from the organization; the latter was clearly a mistake.

(The unfortunate incident with Aleksey was the proverbial straw. I regret that it happened, since Aleksey has done a lot of good work for the project; if memory serves, at the time I was looking for other ways to fund his work.)

> who near converted SolveSpace to doble-licensed open-source, far away from its inital GPLv3.[3]

This happened after I spent several months paying Aleksey Egorov (Evil-Spirit), who did some of the best and most important work on SolveSpace, a competitive salary out of my own pocket, and it has been done in coordination with Jonathan Westhues. (You'll see his name on the CLA.) SolveSpace had a commercial licensing option before the initial open-source release, which provided a (small, but useful) revenue stream, and that seemed like a good option to continue using.

Knowing this, you can also see why Aleksey's unfortunate statement about gender felt so painful. All I wanted was to keep developing a great FOSS CAD!

Do you have any examples of any moral system that doesn’t contradict itself logically somewhere? I haven’t run across one.

Near as I can tell, there often fundamentally HAS to be a logical contradiction somewhere, or unsupported assertion which conflicts
with some objective fact sometimes.
It is a genocidal war because Ukrainians are being killed and displaced for refusal to accept a Russian identity. Putin is pretty clear in denying to Ukrainians their identity and statehood. His plans for Ukrainians are like that of Hitler who wanted that land too for Slavic people - displacement and killing of resisting ones, conversion to "Russian" identity for the rest on those lands with limited statehood under control of the Great Russia.

I would agree that this isn't genocide, but the russian forces are playing extremely loose with civilian casualties. It's clear that Putin is trying to destroy Ukrainian culture/independent spirit which could be considered a form of genocide I guess.
In the Vietnam war there were actual Soviet troops shooting down American aircraft with SAMs and it didn't lead to nuclear war. Why do people think even providing Ukraine with aircraft will lead to WW3?
It's nuanced. We are evolved creatures, with certain intuitions about things.

You can point to domains about where it fails completely. (For understandable reasons)

But that doesn't mean intuition is useless, in fact I'd say it's rather underused for how valuable it actually is. Parachutes and RCT's come to mind.

Being empirical is really hard and rather un-natural for humans. It's a best effort thing. Current institution don't help as much as I'd like, it still takes many decades for information to propagate (And even longer for corrections where the consensus was wrong)
I’m not sure why you’re using Dhimmi as if it’s a trump card in this argument. It explicitly granted legal protections for non Muslims.

Compared to its contemporaries under Christian rule in Europe, the Muslim world was quite progressive in that respect. You can observe the difference as it played out in Christian Spain after the reconquista.
