There's a multi-particle version of this at the Brighton Fusebox (UK, [0]) for anyone who's got interesting ideas of how to use it.

We used Turbo C++ in my HS computer science class, but the AP test was still in Pascal at the time. My dad had an old copy of Turbo Pascal, so I used that to learn enough pascal to pass the test. I was completely blown away by the compilation times. In class, we fought over who got the 2 486 DX2s because you could compile simple programs in under a minute on it. On my wimpy AM386 at home Turbo Pascal compiled from scratch in seconds and did incremental compiles instantaneously.

A couple years later, I encountered common lisp for the first time; it was even better because you could recompile single functions. To this date, I still think very short iteration time is a super-power for program design.
>I should rather have said "although we can no longer ascertain for certain the purpose for which these rules were introduced, some believe the origin to be rooted in a desire for creating an arbitrary class distinction."

That sounds more believable. Some people believe that, and some people believe that moon landing wasn't real. Many languages like Spanish, French, Russian or Chinese are regulated on the national or even supranational level. That feels like a good thing and it shouldn't be discouraged just because some people believe in weird things.

>No, markedness is not also known as "poor grammar". There is a huge distinction.
>But "poor grammar" specifically seeks to attribute a negative connotation to the utterance. It says suggest that people who construct such utterances are, somehow, uneducated, or else are outsiders. It says that they've done something that is objectively (not subjectively) incorrect or wrong.

Markedness is just as objective as poor grammar. It is all about a specific group of people in a specific time and place. As time changes so does grammar and what is consider poor.

>Not always. Again, the terms are distinct in intent.

Well, in the strict sense "markedness" has different meaning. The way you described more or less resembles poor grammar in most cases.

>I don't think most Americans would listen to an English person say "I will go on holiday" and call it "poor grammar". They might say "that sounds funny" or "I'd never say it that way" or whatever else, but I think most would not use a phrase with such a strongly negative connotation.

They probably understand that it is a standardized learned prestige dialect.

>So my desire to distinguish markedness from "poor grammar" is rooted in a desire to fight stigmatization. There is nothing inherently wrong with those latter examples I gave, especially because almost all native English speakers will understand their intents (at least generally) without issue.

Yes, I understand. Americans have a knee-jerk reaction against everything that feels a tiny bit racist. However propping up a single standardized language and discouragement of deviations is a path that most nation-states have embraced.

>> I know everyone's experiences here will vary but I've had very little breakage going between major version of Debian, but with FBSD too many things would break when doing a major release upgrade.

I encounter much the same in Debian/Ubuntu systems on major upgrades too. It all depends on what you are doing, and what the port maintainer has coded to deal with upgrades. If the port maintainer has written scripts to deal with moving old schemas to new ones, great. But that is far from universal. Sometimes FreeBSD does it better, sometimes Debian does it better.

Much more often than not, on FreeBSD or Linux, it usually is simpler to roll out a new machine and roll your data onto it to test. Otherwise I get headaches of incompatibility for either system for what I tend to do.
I believe that only applies to the hospitality business, doesn't it? A B2B company could refuse to do business with a company for any reason, including the skin color of that company's ceo. Furthermore, "those people" very much excludes nationality otherwise the sanctions against Iran would have been unconstitutional.
I've visited this site in the past and felt like the title sort of over-promises.

I was expecting some truly awful stuff with hilarious commentary in the vein of the Gallery of Regrettable Food, but most of this is just 'This book is old and has outdated information and therefore is awful in terms of suitability for a public library collection'.

Well, except for the 'Build your own bazooka at home' one, I guess.
it’s a straight line from this to QAnon.

There was a post[0] from a couple months ago for a piece of software called 'display-switch'[1]. It turns a simple/cheap USB switch into a n-computer KVM (however many systems the USB switch supports) by detecting the presence of the USB switch device on either system and switching the video input of the monitors using DDC/CI.

I've been using it for a couple of months and it's been a game changer. No more fiddling with monitor menus to switch inputs or wondering if the monitor is currently set to one computer or the other. You have to make sure your monitors support DDC/CI, though.

I moved to SF recently from Tennessee. It's been wonderful to have such pleasant weather year-round. Granted, it's not a tropical paradise, but you will survive with an optional light jacket in your backpack nearly all year.

The only other place that is now tempting me is San Diego.

The crux of the issue is scaling. Devops is, for the most part, automation. You could never run 500 nodes across 10 geos and 2 clouds by hand. What works for 100 http reqs/s cannot work for 100k.

Kubernetes is a different beast. Most people think of it as a cluster manager: instead of managing your own nodes, then running scripts or automation on them, you write a bunch of yaml and K8s deploys and runs it. While that is fine and true, that's not why Kubernetes was built.

Instead, k8s is a platform for building platforms. You don't run your microservices on it, you run your clouds on it, which in turn run your stuff. At this level, you can see why you need the comical amount of complexity.
I'm curious if you have any references, because as you can imagine, it's hard to search for such things.

I tried to make my statements and figures based on objectively verifiable information (the stated policy of JNF and its land holdings, naming the Admissions Committees Law). I think if you were to account for the broader discrimination in property sale/leasing, the amount of land where non-Jewish nationals are denied would be much higher than 13%, never mind counting the colonies in the occupied territories.

I'm also skeptical because official discrimination (until the new laws passed in the past 20 years or so) was de facto widespread, but previously was de jure illegal (case in point: https://archive.ph/20120911010849/http://www.nytimes.com/200...).

I would agree with you if you were saying that petty discrimination (done by individual land-owners) is widespread against all "nationalities", but the issue is that entire neighborhoods, communities, and territories have official sanction and support to be discriminatory against non-Jewish nationalities. And if you believe as I do that Israel must retreat to its border as defined by international law, and that it has in fact done the opposite and engaged in literal colonization for 60 years or so, then it would be plain to see why much of this conversation is besides the point. Of course there will be petty discrimination, perhaps even rooted in each side's belief that each property transaction is really a territorial battle. The actions of consequence are those of the state and those backed by the state apparatus.
Agreed, it surely has benefited my life. That benefit doesn’t seem to outweigh, in my mind, the dishonesty pervasive in marketing, however.

A thing can benefit me and still be a net drag on humanity. I’ll continue to maintain that “the human mind would be better off without” marketing.
I doubt that the ultimate motive was to "present Ukrainian authors", because they could have done that by hiring actual experts in this space, or even just giving out free books by such authors.

It seems like the ultimate motive was to "ban Dostoevsky" and they pushed until they found a way to do so with plausible deniability. I.e. "We didn't do dismiss you, you just chose not comply with our unreasonable policy changes".
COINTELPRO was a thing, yes, but now almost all news is manipulated. Then stuff related to those stories was, big difference.

>The media has always had to kowtow to some degree to local authority,

Yes, that's what I mean, to what degree? That degree is much greater now than it was in the past, except the one doing the manipulation isn't necessarily the government.
Meanwhile youtube has banned Channel 1, NTV, TNT, RT, Moscow 24 and even "Spas", and are banning users that post ''misinformation'' about Russia's actions in Ukraine.
I don't care for the name or the attitude. It's surprising to me that librarians would be so snarky about books. Many of these books indeed don't belong in small community library collections because they are outdated and no longer useful to most patrons (they would probably be of interest to historians or other academics). That doesn't make them 'awful.'

But it's worse that that.

var foo = new Array(5)

That code will make an array with 5 elements, but their values aren't actually null or undefined, but another kind of "empty" value. You can't access this value directly (it will convert to undefined), but it still exists.

EDIT: there's another kind of undefined that happens within the Temporal Dead Zone too
I think we can make a meaningful distinction between not carrying smut and engaging in viewpoint discrimination. When it comes to government censorship,, First Amendment doctrine easily distinguishes between content neutrality and viewpoint neutrality. Content neutrality is the broader concept but applies in less circumstances than viewpoint neutrality, which pretty much applies anywhere. So there's plenty of venues where the government can ban nudity and pornography and such, but can't ban opposing viewpoints from being expressed.

Is there any reason not to enable all the blocklists and filters in uBlock Origin that aren't enabled by default?

And why aren't they enabled by default?

Finally, are there any other quick/easy things that can be done by users to improve uBlock's blocking... like maybe installing some other blocklists that aren't in uBlock Origin at all?
I’m aware of it. But in the context of war, it’s splitting hairs.
A really simple tip that has worked wonders for me:

Don't eat until you're full, eat until you're no longer hungry.

I've lost 25 pounds so far with this in mind. It requires reflecting while you're eating and realizing that while you may want to eat more, you may not actually be hungry anymore. While I may want to stuff myself and eat 4 slices of pizza, I'm generally no longer hungry after a single slice. In the morning, half an egg and a couple of sausage links is enough, or a few bites of oatmeal.

That's all well and good, but then you might be hungry in an hour. This actually hasn't been a huge issue for me, but if I am hungry, I'll generally eat a handful of nuts or a spoonful of peanut butter.

I'll typically eat a bigger dinner, and let myself cut loose a bit on the weekend when we order delivery.
Correction for posterity: "In their ruling and in the trial transcripts..."

For instance, in the transcript, check out the part where (Trump-appointee) Judge Newsom wonders "And you've got the Pennsylvania Republicans on your side and the attorneys general -- overwhelmingly Republican attorneys general on your side. I'm just trying to figure out kind of what to make of any of that." What do you think of the (non-)reply? If you could give your own reply to cast things in the best possible light, what would you say?

By the way, the transcripts also show that Judge Newsom (and the others) fully grasped that the choice isn't between "Beautiful, Pure, Unperturbed Data vs. Noisy Data" but rather between "Data that has been fuzzed via a Swapping technique that the Census Bureau had been using for decades but is now known to be unsuitable going forward, vs. Data that's fuzzed using Differential Privacy."
It depends, but in some cases certainly.

That top left graph is showing you the (notional) system price for grid electricity in the UK. The x axis is settlement periods, which are 30 minutes long, thus period 14 on that graph ends 0700 local time, before many people are awake, system price was £0 per MWh. You want it? Have it. The evening peak a few hours ago was £327 per MWh. So if you bought 2GWh of electricity this morning and sold just 50% of it back this evening (accounting for losses) you made over £300 000 on that transaction.

Now, those sites aren't free, I'm sure you need a dozen or more specialist engineers who aren't paid minimum wage to run a plant like that, and the spares are doubtless expensive, it's not as though everybody has a spare 100MW turbine/ pump sat around you could buy. But you can do that most days and sometimes twice a day, so it's potentially a nice earner. Once upon a time all the ones in the UK were owned by the government but today they are owned by for-profit corporations.

We used to buy Precision 5500 series laptops (latest model: 5560), but they have issues with thermal management. Over time, the battery expands due to temperature to the point of moving the trackpad up. Now we are giving Dell a new chance using the 7500 series (now 7760).

The 5560 is between 7.7mm (0.30") (front) and 11.64mm (0.56") (rear) thick. The thickness of the 7560 is between 25 mm (0.98") and 27.36 mm (1.08"). The increased thickness should solve (or help solve) the overheating.
Russia and China have a lot better track record in the last 30 years with respect to imperialism than the US. Just look at the numbers of countries invaded, civilian deaths, and refugees.
>With vynyl and CDs, listening to a whole album shows you songs that you wouldn't normally consider or search for. Spotify makes it easy to skip a song you may not like but I tend to try out new songs on my record player and sometimes I like new things

We currently have an old Macbook Pro running Qobuz that sits next to our receiver. I used to stand up and skip to the next song if I didn't like a track but it grew old quickly and I now just let it play through.

I never realized how much good music I was skipping until now.
Not everything requires pedantic justification, especially deranged calls for dehumanization and ethnic prejudice. It is Common Sense (and legally correct) that coffee shops are not government agents just because they are registered in a particular place.
I feel like you're redefining "cancel culture", at least the way I understand it. To me "cancel culture" is exclusively the western(primarily US) obsession with cancelling things which are deemed even marginally offensive to someone.

Russia invading another European country and us breaking up all ties with them is not "cancel culture". We're not doing it because someone's feelings got hurt. There's an actual war going on, with very real people dying. Calling our reaction to it "cancel culture" strikes me as dismissive, offensive almost(yes I'm offended at your use of the phrase cancel culture to describe this).

You know, I don't mind advertisements that are really targeted and would enrich my life in some way. I use Ublock Origin (and others) everywhere I can and it's great. However, there are some things that I want to be told about or update on. The latest superhero movie? Yes, please. A new keyboard or update for my car? Yes, please. A valentines idea for my wife? Yes, please!

The problem is that I (almost) never get these ads. Most of the things shoved into my face are something that I would NEVER purchase or recommend to others. The same truck commercial 100 times? Nope. Alcohol commercial? Nope. Cable sports package? Never.

I was really hopeful that Google, with all of their knowledge about me (and they have a TON of it!) would be able to target advertisements that I might like. Yet, YouTube is chock full of Truck, Beer, and Football commercials; I guess just because I'm a middle aged man and that's what "we" like.

So, I'm forced into blocking everything I can, whenever and wherever I can. The Ad companies are really doing this to themselves. If they were better at their job I wouldn't even know they existed. As it stands, I get bombarded with so much unwanted things that I actively hate the things they spew at me. I will NEVER buy the products that they are advertising; even if it did fit my personality or needs.

I disagree, a script is a great tool, especially if you're not an experienced speaker. You just need to put emotions in it, and know how to act them out correctly, in many ways like an actor. The actor on a stage (or in front of a camera) doesn't react to the audience, but can still tell a compelling story. This takes practice, which takes time. Sadly, too many speakers don't even do a dry run before their presentation.

> Awful Library Books

Not a fan of the over-opinionated framing. It seems like mainly a list of things that are "dated" (which I'd personally find pretty interesting, for various reasons) and/or politically incorrect from the author's orientation.
The line coming out of the US gov't no longer even makes sense, IMO.

They've claimed, like you, that the labs were just general biolabs you'd find at any university, and anything related to WMD is just Russian "disinformation."

But they've also claimed that these labs were old Soviet-era weapons research labs the DOD was helping to close down.

So which is it?

If they're closing down old weapons labs, why'd it take 17 years? If they're not weapons labs, why are they so afraid (as Nuland from State Dep't claimed) of the Russians seizing or destroying them?

If they're just research labs for the good of humanity, the gov't needs to explain to us taxpayers why they continue building up infrastructure and subsidizing research and jobs in foreign countries with money borrowed from China and / or printed up, which is now exacerbating inflation. How many underemployed PHDs in the US could be doing some research here at home with the hundreds of millions of dollars we've just handed out to Ukraine?
This is a stupid post. By stupid I mean it seems to me that the author of it is deliberately refusing to use his mind.

I’m sorry if the poster doesn’t understand the value of live conversation, but that’s not our problem.

Now people like me have to say “ignore that post from that idiot… go ahead and ping me with a ‘hi’”

Not the dev, but these are probably hexagonal bins that were computed in spherical/conic space (e.g the Albers Equal Area or Lambert Conformal projections [0], which happen to also be the projections that NOAA distributes a lot of their data in) and projected to Web Mercator (which is the web maps projection). Usually when you do that you get bendy things.
