I’ve heard anecdotally from lawyer friends that despite how fucked up the US justice system is in so many ways, one bright spot is the lengths to which they’ll go to find interpreters.

One Guatemalan defendant who natively spoke a Mayan language had to go through a chain of three court-appointed interpreters: one from his language to a different, more widely-spoken Mayan language, one to go from that to Spanish, and one from Spanish to English. He told my friend (his lawyer) something like: “this is amazing; in Guatemala they’d have just told me ‘sorry, the national language is Spanish’ and I’ve had been out of luck!”

I don’t believe it would be legally possible in the US to convict a monolingual Khmer speaker of a crime without providing an interpreter, in Miami or anywhere else.

AFAIK, all of it; there are even full independent forks running around. Just because you can't bend the code to your particular use doesn't make it not FOSS.

> Inability to keep the car straight on a 4 lane freeway when there's no traffic means drunk or high.

I’m not talking about people who physically can’t keep the car straight. I’m talking about people who are driving significantly faster than everyone else and trying to get through traffic by rapidly switching lanes.

> High speed recklessness to me is overdriving your ability to see ahead and react. This varies considerably even on the same stretch of road due to lighting, weather, traffic, etc.

Yes it does. It also varies by car and driver, which makes it difficult judge/enforce at scale.

It’s easier to create a heuristic
that says in good weather, on this stretch of road, 85mph is too fast.

Studies show that consistently enforced speed limits reduce accidents and fatalities. They may not be optimal, but it looks like they are safer than the alternatives.

Yea, my home router is Vyos now (running under Proxmox virtualisation) and it's just 100% rock solid.

I also find I get better performance (less CPU usage) running "Linux under Linux" instead of "FreeBSD under Linux" was I was with pfSense (it was virtulised too)

Nature is a complex dynamic system. Yes, it can adapt to new influences without becoming instable.

But needlessly bombarding it with artificial chemicals surely has some kind of threshold over which adaptation mostly fails, equilibria get destroyed and the system becomes indeed instable.

Firefox 4 was supposed to be our response to Google Chrome. We were feature driven. "Firefox 4 will be released with features A, B and C". And it took us a stupid amount of time to get there. Firefox 4 was supposed to be great. But no devtools, no multiprocess … compared to Chrome it was bad.

So much work and stress went into this release, it took us a loooong time, people were exhausted, and the result was mediocre. Electrolysis was hard. Hardware acceleration challenging. And all these new HTML5 features… gosh.

But we had to get much much better, because the Google's engineer were killing it. The race was hard. And we also needed a Firefox-on-mobile plan. With less engineers, and a much smaller budget.

Important people left after Firefox 4. John Lilly left. And Mozilla hired product managers and such. More marketing etc etc. Things changed. We moved to a new version of Firefox every 6 weeks (that was a good move though).

We basically went from the "savior of the internet" to "google chrome followers".

Hmm, a throwaway account with a single comment constructing a straw man to argue against western sanctions for the war.

It’s simply an unfortunate reality that the Russian state can’t be punished for their actions without collateral damage.

The purpose of the sanctions is to economically punish Russia in order to ensure that Russia and others do not repeat the same actions in the future.

Furthermore, the sanctions create a huge distraction for the Russian leadership that’s already very busy with their war effort. Within months, the sanctions will also severely disrupt Russian military supply chains as they rely heavily on imports.

> And no they would not make rebellion, but rather switch to government propaganda that “west hates us and wants our collapse”.

Yeah, nobody cares. This isn’t the purpose of the sanctions.

> my partner is Russian, both having families in these countries

Same. My in-laws control one of the biggest exporters in Russia, their business has been severely hurt by the sanctions. Despite this, you won’t find many arguing against the sanctions in our circles, it’s simply the appropriate response to Putin’s folly.
I am using a Kinesis Adv 2 and have just switched to Colemak DH myself. It's really hard to rewire your brain ti type on it, but after a week now I'm starting to get faster.

One thing that I still haven't quite figured out is Vim... How do people use Vim with an alternative layout? do you keep the same keybindings and just deal with it(hjkl are not nicely in line for example) or do you remap each action to the physical location it would be on a qwerty keyboard (i.e. navigating with mnei for example)?
It does: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave.html
or just java code
But it is true. Who cares if the program can write to your system configuration when it can encrypt your entire home directory and use your private SSH keys to encrypt all your servers as well.

I'd argue the root/normal user separation is largely useless on single user desktop computers.

This is a rabbit hole that I spent considerate amount of time and money and I’d like to warn some of those who are interested into going in.

> Professional musicians don’t play on crappy equipment, right? ;-)

With this article sentence I wholeheartedly stand. It’s important to know and optimize tools you’re using most of waking time. Keyboard promises improvement both health and performance wise. Same with layout. Yet both unorthodox keyboards and layouts are considerate investments. Even more so if they are customizable. And it might be possible that they’ll never pay off.

I had situations that match common theme: I’m heavily focused on a problem. I’m coding away and that at some point I stumble and fall. I can’t remember combination for some shortcut I’ve been using in ages. Instead of working furiously on the problem I’m solving “where is the key” problem now. The other situation is the stressful one. I found out that under situations that stress me I forgot complex customizations. Keyboard layouts? They don’t work.

This get amplified if you have multiple keyboards to work with. I’ve used Dvorak for more then a year - didn’t stick. Split keyboards with standard layout - same. Non orthodox keyboards - even after more than year of using it didn’t work. For keyboard.io I went so far that I got multiple ones to try to avoid “switch fatigue” and ended giving them out.

Right now I’m using standard full size low key keyboard with numpad and additional F-keys for bindings. It works, has low latency (latency IS an issue with many keyboards), my hands don’t get tired because there is almost non pressure required (and I type a lot while getting older every day) and that’s the best keyboard I have. Right now I’m considering actually getting rid of tenkeyless keyboard for my gaming pc because lack of keys and all those combos to get to F-s just annoys me when I want to script something. It simply puts a problem in front of me that I didn’t intend to solve.

Craftsman has to care for their tools. I agree. But choosing battles is important too.

This is why I applaud NK and Iran on their strategic maneuver to obtain nukes. My prediction is that there will be three types of states: The superpowers, neo-colonies that are ruled by a super-power's influence and countries that aren't a superpower but have nukes to preseve sovreignity.

> Given these operational and technical limitations, the nuclear weapons in Ukrainian territory could simply not serve as an effective deterrent.

Calling b.s. on that. There is nothing preventing them from safely storing the weapons at the time and slowly developing infrastructure to safely maintain and deploy them after refitting them. If it so happens that they get invaded before refitting them, unless nukes are used they can detonate them unsafely but strategically.
Make yourself interesting, so people want to meet you. It’s not a function of place or setting — you can start a conversation almost anywhere. It helps not to start from assumptions and judgments about how other people might “conform to a very rote/traditional lifestyle,” whatever that means, or about how great a conversationalist a stranger might be. The implication is that you consider yourself interesting, non-traditional and free from rote conformity, and a great conversationalist, which may come across to strangers as aloof, self-centered, and dismissive.

Common politeness generally means avoiding personal or possibly controversial topics with strangers, so you might have to invest the time to get to know someone.

There's a project which adds a second location bar in the viewport for older browsers (going back to IE 5-ish days, I think), then lets you browse modern websites with it by rendering them headless and only sending over image maps. It was also featured on HN back in the day.

I was thinking that with a WASM port of a browser engine you could do the rendering on the client side as well, but you'd have to use a host modern enough to run WASM in the first place so... not a great idea on my part
Thought experiment: what about an actual BITB attack? With the browser being painted on a Canvas element and rendered by either the client itself with WASM or on a remote server and an X client running in the user's browser?

I guess it depends what your typical case for undo is. For me, 99% of the time I remember the changes I made an want to undo them, so pressing a button twice is annoying, especially since it's not consistent. If I don't remember what I was doing, then I can press ctrl+r to redo and see what changed, but to me that is the exception and I'm fine taking extra clicks to do it. Everyone has preferences, I wish this was configurable :P.

> also I can just use 'u' whenever I want to go back to the last edit's position.

I think people misunderstand the skills needed for progress nowadays (or maybe ever). We have clear avenues forward where we are basically just waiting for data to trickle in, then prune the falsified hypotheses, and repeat.

It takes smart and dedicated individuals relatively a lot of funding and time (see mRNA vaccines or the blue LED story), but it's not exactly the same as coming up with Maxwell's equation out of thin air.

And even then we have the story of the quantization of blackbody radiation, when Planck was stuck and finally ended up using a formula that fot the data and called it a day.

As an addendum consider Paul Erdos. As far as I know everyone loved to work with him, he was basically running a big distributed institute in this regard. He did what organized workshops do nowadays, but in a slightly radical way, he basically changed "dorm rooms" every few weeks, and churned out papers like a machine on speed. Which in fact he was on all the time. And who can blame him? Stimulants are part of work culture anyway. Coffee, tea, anti-ADHD meds, etc. And with such drastically work focused "work-life balance" it's not surprising that he has results.
Oh, did I miss RP2040 being ordereable in 100ku quantities?

“Sometimes available” beats “toy” anytime
Yes, going back and understanding why something broke/has changed is incredibly valuable. Often it's not because of one singular decision but a collection of decisions over time that resulted in some behavioural regression. Being able to easily hop through all the commits of the recent past is incredibly valuable for me to understand how we can prevent such errors in the future, not just patch over the current one and move on. Fixing things without considering how we got here I tend to find leads to messy code; extra checks and assertions that aren't necessary if one takes the time to update the underlying assumption or modules that end up too tightly coupled because an extra bit of logic is added to fix that one bug.

Obviously it's possible to go too far; not every commit needs an attached essay. Many of my commits are just "fixed typo" or "added unit test for X", but then sometimes I'll write a short paragraphs or two explaining my rationale, referencing the commits that came before
