the only way I can make sense of this (and I'm probably wrong maybe some Italians can help me) is that Italy is extremely divided in their politics (see Salvini[1]) ... and so the university overcompensated by trying to "stick it to Putin" while being totally ignorant about Russian literature. It's a long shot but it's all I've got. :/

The real question to me is why you expect somebody to drop everything and reply to "hello." It's not about being righteous, it's just not a productive use of your time. If I'm not busy, I'll reply quickly, but if I'm in the middle of something, chit-chatting with somebody who just wants to say hi is usually lower priority.
Might be a silly question, but can't they sail under a different flag or no flag at all?
> 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".

But my point is that people will use phrases like "grammatically incorrect" in casual conversation (far from any context of linguistics or any social science) to describe certain utterances, and there are cases where this is not unreasonable.
I got a System76 Serval WS laptop running Ubuntu 2 1/2 years ago and have been happy with it. I used it a lot pre-Covid when I was traveling more. It also updated well, although I always wait two months post-release before upgrading Ubuntu.

I bought a System76 Thelio desktop running Ubuntu in July, and I am typing on it now. I am very happy with it. One nice thing about it is I know the various parts of the system will have decent drivers for Linux. I did get an Nvidia 12 GB GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card with it - that is one area (Nvidia) where support could potentially be problematic, but I have had no problems thus far. The upgrade to Ubuntu 21.10 went smoothly. I also bought a 27" inch monitor with it, and working from home, it beats my old 19" inch monitor by a long shot, especially if I am doing git merges or something.

The first System76 laptop I bought was in 2014, and I have helped other people buy them, and I feel they have gotten better over time - the machines are better.

I like how much of the system is open, if I want to change something I can just drop down and do it - to the desktop layer, to the userspace level, to the kernel level. People have caveats, and I have run into them, but workplaces have had me run Windows or MacOS, and those systems have caveats as well. The ability to be able to look at the code and change it is something I like.
Diagnostic computers are cheap enougj if your car is old enough. Thise for new models are expensive. Self repairabiliy stopped being a thing in the, IMHO, mid 80s. For a lot of stuff. Adding diff locks and the like, especially those not controlled by the onbord computers is actually pretty trivial, regardless of model year.

What's said about EVs can be as much true about ICE powered cars, the computer controlled nature is the same for both.

I appreciate my 1982 Range Rover more every day so. Besides a treadful fuel consumption. After all it is running on 3 fuses, perfect for an electricity and electeonics idiot like me.
As an example of this, I can access Chapter 0 in this book: https://www.google.com/books/edition/You_Could_Look_It_Up/aT...

The first paragraph mentions "Walter J. Ong".

I then search for it. I get the result, but the link is disabled: https://www.google.com/books/edition/You_Could_Look_It_Up/aT...

For me, this happens across browsers and devices leading me to believe it's a policy change (or perhaps a bug).
Absolutely. I'm turning 50, and kinda tired of the full-time efforts, kinda tired of coding all the time, but don't want to stop working yet either. That kind of role sounds perfect.

It would need to have a compensation package that incentivizes people to truly just be part-time for you and not seek out side contracts - decent pay and benefits, etc.
Renewable doesn't mean Co2-less, even though most renewable energy methods do not emit Co2.

Burning farmed wood is carbon negative, if you attach a carbon scrubber to the flue of the power-plant.
Yes and our supply chain is a house of cards that was bound to melt down one day because of a shock and finally did. And the industrial base of the country's interior has endured two generations of economic collapse leading to widespread misery and political upheaval.

The free trade and industrial policy decisions of the 90's and early 2000's will go down in history as era-defining mistakes in this county's political history.

In Massachusetts, access to this telemetry by local repair shops is required by our new right-to-repair law. Some manufactures have made a fuss, but hopefully other states follow.
Oh please. I don't use Facebook, but the only hypocrisy I've seen is Russian news on Youtube. Russia24, for example, actually banned my country (and probably others except Russia) lol, they were getting too many comments from Ukraine, I guess.

This new rule allowing people to call for death to invaders is pretty idiotic, though. I think they made it so people would stop getting reported/banned for calling Russians fascists... a lot of that going on right now.
I can’t do an off-center keyboard. I wish there was a Linux laptop with really good build quality and a centered keyboard. For now, my crummy old XPS will do.
I don't think there is MIDI support given that the browser has to ask for permission and I didn't get that dialog; however, I could be wrong.
The problem is that in order for you to hear about a product probably a lot of other people need to first. Not a huge fan of advertising myself but to call it 'mind rape' seems a bit over the top.....
Again, it is a choice, and the fact that you choose the better option doesn't mean it's not a choice.
I don't think you're thinking this through carefully. Firstly, cash does not take as much space as you think, $1000 is 20 bank notes. It's not a back pack full.

Secondly, if we're thinking about fleeing Ukraine you need to have transfered that money before the crisis. You can transfer a decent amount of money into dollars and be confident it's going to stay stable, you're going to have that amount of cash to leave with. If you transferred into BTC a month ago, you've lost roughly 10% of the money you transfereed just because the volatility. So you're putting this escape money at significant risk (imagine that the war didn't happen, and you've just burned a big chunk of your savings through BTC volatility). Going back to the first point - if you're literally talking about a backpack full, presumably you're talking about sticking your entire life savings into BTC? And just what? Hope it goes up?

Finally, your scheme sounds a little... risky. So Russia invades Ukraine and starts shelling your cities, you've got to travel cross country out of Ukraine, into a Polish refugee centre, possibly facing life threatening conditions. And at the end of it - better have remembered that 24 word pass phrase! Because if you forgot it, your entire escape money is gone forever!
Indeed, a number of internet services and applications are vulnerable to BGP hijacking and interception attacks, including TLS/digital certificates, anonymity systems such as Tor, and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

We discussed this in an earlier blog post on freedom to tinker: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2018/04/11/routing-attacks-on-....

Where I live people buy cars that were made in the 70s and 80s and then change out the engine, cut things up and change them.

Lots of welders here too. I can definitely see in my future doing this and putting 40-50Kwh and some high torque motors on the wheels. There are apparently some books on amazon for this shit too.
This comment doesn’t make sense. Only the US has real IP law enforcement over itself and its vassal countries in Europe.

With this move Russia is joining the vast majority of the world in ignoring foreign IP restrictions (Africa, India, China, Arabia, etc).
I'm just thinking about legal shitstorm that will happen when completely autonomous vehicle would kill a pedestrian for example.
No idea, ask them. Troops movement on the ground and intercepted military comms would be my guess. Also they were off by like a week
Do we really want to ask that question? We might not like the answer that some Ukrainians may give. Facebook was saying that "calls for violence on Russians" are okay given the context, full stop, then they clumsily backpedaled on the civilians issue and then only for threats they arbitrarily judge as "credible", which tells you how ridiculous the back-pedaling was. This is not going well for them.
I have no idea what the usecase is, but it's incredibly impressive from a technical standpoint

It proves that Russia doesn't have many allies. Or any allies.
We're entering "Freedom Fries" levels of stupid here. I was born in Ukraine and still have close family there now, but moves like this don't do anything to help.

One of the most common tactics for repressive Russian regimes over the last 100 years has been jailing and exiling their own academics and authors. Ironic that western institutions now want to follow in their footsteps.
“ridiculous opinion” is also your opinion. Who said no mainstream media is talking about this?* Who said it should be presented as fact? Even I don’t believe it should be presented as fact. That would be misinformation. Even presenting something I whole heartedly agree with — bigotry is wrong. That’s not fact.

*I was obviously exaggerating with “non mention”. It was also one small part in my thought out, serious and long comment.

However your exaggerations of all caps, “being presented as fact” and “ridiculous opinion” (again which is just your opinion) are all negatives and don’t help any sort of dialogue.

This topic is discussed in the mainstream. Off top of head: BBC, Guardian, Al Jazeera, PBS, NPR, WNYC, WBEZ, WHYY, CBC, The Daily Show, The Young Turks, AJ+, NowThis, Pod Save America, Slate, Vox, Vice all have certainly covered this. Previously, Fox, Tucker Carlson (within Fox and his other affiliations), OAN, NewsMax, Daily Wire, and more on the right have also covered this and before changing their stances because of the public, were very much anti NATO.

I can see how a few listed can be claimed as non mainstream. That’s fair. Though other media listed like Pod Save America and Daily Wire have top 10 most popular podcasts. I think that can count as mainstream.

If publications like WaPo or the biggest podcast, Joe Rogan, have no discussed this yet. They will at some point to some degree.

I’m curious why you thought this fairly basic and quite common rhetoric necessitated an all caps response and hints of insanity that the mainstream cover it. I am respectfully, going with you being in your own bubble and not knowing too much about politics as my hunch and/or enjoying/preferring the status quo. However that’s just a hunch.

I'll consider this if publishers and adtech vendors consider the fact that stealing my personal data, bandwidth and processing power (= battery life on mobile) could also be unethical.

Publishers and adtech might not like the fact that I am in control of what happens on my device and do things they dislike, but then they seem to do exactly the same when it comes to controlling how many ads are displayed and what personal data they collect.

Maybe if the industry can come to an agreement for a reasonable amount of ads, respecting privacy and taking responsibility for the ads they serve (aka compensate the user in case of scam or malware) then people might be more inclined to consider it.
> 40 years of history being deployed

How do you figure? The C++ Core Guidelines date back to at least 2017, so 40 years before that would be 1977. At which point Stroustrup is still in Cambridge as a PhD student under Wheeler, he doesn't even travel to Bell Labs until after completing his Thesis.

Let's be honest here, the C++ Core Guidelines aren't because C++ is 20 or 30 or (if you squint very hard) 40 years old, they are a symptom of two things: 1. C++ programmers, including those on the Committee itself, don't agree about which dialect of C++ is good to use; 2: The ISO process is not well-suited to this work, even abused heavily it is a poor fit to the actual problem of standardizing a programming language under active development.

Rust avoids both these problems by choosing a more appropriate mechanism for decision making, one much more like that used at the IETF. The goal is to achieve consensus rather than getting one extra vote to put your favoured outcome over the line. The main casualties of a consensus approach are that "Marmite" proposals don't get far, however even if they survive the ballot process in a democracy they're likely to meet a terrible fate in the real world for the same reason - too many people hate them. On the other hand, mediocre proposals tend to get considerably improved during consensus making because there isn't any points scoring.

For example look at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/93208 -- The proposer initially wanted to offer Add<T> for Wrapping<T> but is it really clear this always does what the programmer expected? And if we're offering Add<T> for Wrapping<T> for symmetry we should also do Add<Wrapping<T>> for T right? So in the end the consensus is let's just offer AddAssign<T> because it's very clear in that case what's going on and it isn't symmetrical. And that's what will land in 1.60 next month.

We all know the famous quote by George Santayana:

"Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it."[a]

I propose a variant:

With every new generation that is born, society becomes more ignorant of the past, which recedes into ever more distant history, until only a minority of educated people, including Historians, remember it, condemning everyone else to repeat the same mistakes.

I think a human is far more likely than a car to have a self-protection tendency.

If a car is programmed that way, how does that benefit the car company (or the programmer)? It's just a different family that sues them if someone dies that didn't have to die. Are you thinking they could advertise it as "prioritizes your life more than random other people!" That's just begging for a lawsuit.

And they especially wouldn't program the car to protect itself above a human life. Why would you think it would? The car is not nearly valuable enough to outweigh the cost of a lawsuit.

> What if I like just saying “Hello” up front for reasons I find just as valid as the reasons you don’t like “Hello”?

Then you should ask yourself if the reason you're sending this message if that you want something from them (in which case you should accommodate their preferences) or if you're just talking to please yourself (do it your way).
It's one thing to take over a territory from a controlling entity like a government or a king. It's another thing to take over a territory and claim that you're doing so because the ruling regime are Nazis, when they're not; and you're saving the people because they're Russians, when they're not. It's even quite another thing to embrace the ones who welcome your rewriting of history while murdering those who reject it. That's what elevates this to a genocide rather than just a territory grab.
I've found Weather Spark to be a useful tool for researching ideal climates: https://weatherspark.com/. It has detailed temperature breakouts by time of day and year, wind speed, humidity, rainfall, etc.

One thing I've started to pay a lot more attention to is rainfall. The temperature in Southern California (where I currently live) is certainly pleasant, but that comes with the tradeoff of very limited rainfall, which seems to be having an increasingly negative impact as the years wear on.
>But any connection poses vulnerability - for example, security certificates to be sure you're talking to the right person become obsolete over time as processing power gets cheaper, and an update can fail and brick the car.

Exactly. Which is why vehicles (like most other IOT devices) shouldn't connect to the Internet at all.

Please define a scenario where internet access would be required (i.e., not replaceable with other, less vulnerable communications mechanisms) for a self-driving vehicle.

I can't think of any.

Now that I just won't put up with! ;-)
Very useful! Thanks!

If you could somehow incorporate sunshine (examples: # sunny days, daily hours of sun, % cloud cover, or something similar), that would be a phenomenal addition.
I agree. But it also depends on the type of work. If someone is acting in some kind of project delivery lead function, it is often necessary to be in the loop of many coordinating conversations. This kind of role might not be a good fit for part time, unless the rest of the team is also part time with a similar schedule.

For other kinds of work that can be performed independently with less regular check ins, it doesn't matter as much.

There are ways to structure a company to make varying schedules more or less feasible. If one piece of work is shattered into a large number of small tasks and scattered between teams with a number of maker/checker review points, then it might not be possible to complete a single item of work without e.g. 3 people in different teams reviewing it and approving it. If the content of the work is e.g. a trivial configuration change that takes 1 minute to author, then you end up with a situation where the process will become exponentially inefficient if some of the people involved work in part time schedules or inconsistent timezones. If instead work is structured into larger chunks that can be done by individuals with infrequent synchronisation points, e.g. deeper analysis / design / implementation tasks, then maybe varying schedules or timezones does not impact efficiency as much.
Thanks Troy! All is well.

Entropy increase is bad for privacy, so using more obscure browsers would make you stand out more often right?
I thought that too, but after checking the hardness and the pointiness of crumbs from a french baguette crust on the the skin of the back of my hand, and noticed it could also cause bleeding I decided it was safer to avoid hard crusts.
In the US, the 1st amendment grants private companies the right to police content within their purview. Preventing them from doing so is in itself a violation of the 1st amendment. Thus, in my opinion, the suggestion that private companies should NOT police content, despite their explicit 1st amendment right to do so, is antithetical to the 1st amendment.
The news I consume presents multiple angles on stories. I heard an interview with a Douma member a couple of days ago who was claiming that Ukraine was bombing its own citizens

The journalist asked her what evidence they had, she said she had some, but when pushed she said "Russians just don't [bomb cities]", and couldn't produce any evidence. other than kept repeating that "Russian Troops do not bomb Ukrainian cities". It's an astounding claim given that we see Ukrainian cities being bombed and we see Russian troops in Ukraine.

There is objective truth, and there is objective lying. Maria Butina was the latter.
I'm moroccan but I'm very active in the Muslim community so I have a few Libyan friends. From what I gathered, their opinion is usually a mix of yearning for the "good old days" when the Libyan state was somewhat functional and the standards of of living were actually pretty high for the region... but also a deep hatred for ghaddafi too. They don't miss him or think he was a good leader, they just miss a functional state that wasn't ruled by warlords. That nostalgic feeling is pretty universal too. The corruption was centralized so much easier to deal with and much more predictable. Those I know who still live in Libya are not doing too badly, but their quality of life has taken a nosedive and everything is more uncertain.

They don't (usually) blame nato or have a deep resentment towards the intervention, but there's the impression that they have been played and used like pawns. So the very cynical view is that getting rid of ghaddafi was the goal, not helping the Libyan people at all. A cynical outlook at geopolitics is almost universal in the middle east though. But it's very far from the total hatred some felt towards America after the iraqi invasion.

I guess the insane politics around the current libyan civil war that's happening there right now doesn't exactly disprove that impression.
I have a Precision 7510 running Linux and don't have any of these issues so I wonder how different those two series actually are.

This is partially true.

Yes, Bicocca University DID cancel a 4 lesson course about Dostoevskij, but after the professor went viral on social media they made up their minds and confirmed the course.

Yes, it was a very nonsense decision but they DID NOT banned teaching Dostoevskij in the end.
If you care about image size you need to switch to a distroless image base. It's incredibly easy nowadays with multi-stage builds. IMHO people use alpine not because they seek it out but because they're reading old guides and advice that hasn't been updated with the times.

Blindly switching to alpine to save space is opening yourself up to exactly these sorts of musl-libc quirks and issues--you better have solid test coverage and a plan to make sure there aren't unexpected edge cases.
At the time we were using that particular library heavily at WizeHire. I had built the tool for personal convenience. rmccue/requests was likely one of the first "generators".

I expect that we'd accept a PR for PHP curl library implementation. Having a non-third-party option would be valuable.
