Most software projects don't have the same threat models as "most free democratic countries". In fact, while we've settled on some level of democracy being a good thing in running our countries, we're very much open to other approaches in software development, often using methods closer to monarchy or centrally planned communism, and not ruling out complete anarchy.

With that in mind, it's not clear that just because Debian embraces some of the trappings of democracy, it should also insist on the secrecy of the ballot. Non-secret ballots have their advantages too - even your cited "free democratic countries" use them at the parliamentary level.
As far as I can tell, Option B won over Option C by 35 votes (there were 142 people who preferred B over C and 107 who preferred C over B).
I think it may depend on what you consider 'quality' and the purposes of the course. Is the typical 'literary canon' type of books 'the best' reading from 1600? Is the best reading list for a historical reading course all about reading similar stories from similar perspectives because they sold the most or have been popular with academics for the last couple hundred years? Or would you possibly get more value out of reading perspectives from lesser known authors who aren't white or whatever and thus were never as popular.

I know, in a lot of cases, I'd be more interested to read some niche tail written in the 1870s by a relatively unknown black or woman author than another version of huckleberry finn. Especially at a college level, you want to learn new and varied things you haven't been exposed to before, and more books by Charles Dickens aren't going to open a lot of new ideas and perspectives. Sorry for my early morning rambles.
Which countries hide the votes their representatives make in parliament?

What would you think about the ones that did?
I wonder what is the motivation?

Did you identify a limit to ES ?
Did you need a simple query builder for advanced cockroachdb search queries?

"Do not most free democratic countries practice 'secret ballot' voting specifically because not doing so caused all kinds of problems like voter intimidation?"

I would argue a software project and a nation state is not the same kind of organisation.

I am not involved in debian, so I would not judge what is the best system for them, but for example a group of friends making a decision on where to party, make sports, vacation, etc. - would secret voting here make sense? I don't think so. When people are not afraid to speak their mind - then a real consensus can be faster found. So I do not really think "secret voting" must be a standard. It depends on the organisation (and the size, people involved, etc).
Blocking somebody who is harassing you seems to be a very bad idea. You're actively telling them that they're blocked. They can create a new account to work around this. Muting is much more efficient because it does not give any feedback and thus does not provoke any further escalation.
What makes you think that these are systemic _problems_? Maybe they _are_ the system? SCNR. I am completely with you. There is a good deal of acquired helplessness involved where small deviations from that "system" are always are conceived as degressions, so the system can not be questioned in general. Wait for the "but capitalism is the best we could come up with so far" arguments to arrive. They are not completely wrong and part of the game...

Of course, nobody worried about cancel culture is worried about their audience not finding the jokes funny. The problem is some totally unrelated audience deciding that they must not be told.

Used to be someone thought you were funny, they could just throw you a tip. Now you need to worry if Paypal and Patreon think you're acceptable as well. It's like the internet is the king's court, or at least some duke's or other, and his ministers would like you to consider the message your standup is sending to the people.
I've done somewhat similar in political discussions, just state things as facts which I suspected to be correct but had absolutely no certainty they were correct. Also known as "talking out of my ass". The idea being that somebody would correct me if I was wrong. So basically leveraging people's urge to be right on the Internet to get free & lazy schooling, and feeling halfway guilty about it.
It actually doesn't sound reasonable, I have no idea what they're talking about.
Understood, and agreed :)
Ah I forget sometimes that Americans have an extra pronunciation of "a" - so the name Andy would be "Endy" while in UK English and probably Norwegian, we'd say "Ah-ndy" (while I guess we both say "heart" with the same "ah")

By definition "none of the above" can't be the same as any of the above options.

I'm going back to kernel 2.6 .
I think it's a good analogy. I try not to swallow the pool water, so to speak. The examples given by the OP are fairly harmless but distasteful.
Your assumption may be wrong though. Especially if you work internationally, the greeting ritual may be a form of civil courtesy.

I do hate it though. Just ask the damn question, don't wait for me to say "hey" back.
Im a fan of this. Never used it and don’t see why I would ever need to
Gigantic radio waves? Couldn't it be some alien species broadcasting it with advanced tech over millions of years?
Another non-confrontational way of dealing with this issue is to engage the first time they do it, and when the conversation is about to end, tell them "hey by the way, in the future I'd appreciate it if instead of saying "hey" and waiting for me to reply, you'd just write me the question in one go, as that would be less distraction for me. Thank you, hope you understand" or something similar.

This way there won't be any misunderstandings about why some people seem more responsive than others, because now that person knows how to communicate with you.
OMG, that’s him! No wonder this site looks simply beautiful. Also, he wrote a book on typography for lawyers: https://typographyforlawyers.com/
Thanks, you too! I agree these things can get a little confusing but I always appreciate the discussion.
Depends on the situation. E.g. many probably rather know if lies are spread about them in the replies, even if it means dealing with new accounts popping up.
Excuses. History is rife with entire peoples migrating to greener pastures. If they wanted to move and eat better, they would.
Github issues isn't really a team management tool IMO. It's more of a support desk for users of that specific repo. You can try to bend it into a team management tool, but it is limited and probably won't work well unless the team is tiny.

I've seen Github issues work well in a few cases:

- Open source project needs a public facing place to collect tickets specific to that repo - works great!

- Internal tools team needs an easy way to collect bugs and issues from other teams in the company using the repo.

- You are a two-person start-up with exactly one repo and just don't need anything more complicated yet.

But beyond that, you will pretty quickly hit the limits of GitHub issues. Assuming all your code isn't just in one repo, it will become impractical to manage tasks across projects.

Jira is a pain to learn and configure, but it works pretty well after you get it set up and it scales well as the company scales. There are probably 20 other task tracking tools that work well enough for a small team. But Github issues is probably too limited except for a tiny team IMO.
agreed, i just think that the interfaces for interacting with this stuff spatially are always a bit lacking compared to the ideal. maybe with the right hardware / peripherals?
No, they're the same. Although here used in different contexts (trying to start a sync conversation VS marketing trying to get you to sign up for something), but they are effectively saying the same thing, "I need a minute from you for X".
Not all echo chamber are bad.

It's like religions. Somebody who lives deep in the religion that they believing in might deny all other beliefs, and almost all religions were created from adult fairy tales (in another word, lies). But what if a religion makes people peaceful, kind, productive and healthy while strongly rejects the idea of harming the others? Is that religion bad?

Contrary to what people might think, more information does not necessarily make you more rational and reasonable. It can be the opposite, sometimes information makes you anger and hatred, while ignorance gives you the power of justice and forgiveness. That's why sometimes those who made improvement to the world were doing so from their own veil of ignorance. Nobody tell them to hate, so they helped instead.

Echo chamber is an overly stigmatize word. It's true that some people handled it poorly, thus sadly created a spiral that dragged them all the way down. But on the other hand, echo chamber can also be a useful moderate tool to keep yourself out of those harmful ideas online too. It depends on how you craft the chamber, how you use it, and whether you left the door unlocked.

I would rather use my ignorance as a vault to keep my humanity.
For anybody wondering why you might want some sunlight to disinfect the voting process a look at how the NSA has previously managed to corrupt internet standards:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2013/...

I'd be shocked if they didnt also have their claws into debian's operations for similar reasons.

I'd not be very surprised if they were indirectly behind this push either. The fact that this seems to be inspired by the people backing the very obvious hatchet job done on Richard Stallman only makes me more suspicious that its motives are anything but pure.

The biggest threat model here is probably the NSA using its assets to sway votes (probably unknowingly for most if not all, if they are influenced by a third party they dont know is fronting the NSA). Secrecy will make it that much easier to corrupt votes.

Tolerating a bit of personal abuse and cracking down on it separately is probably preferable to the existential threat to free software this presents.

I am fascinated by Unikernels. But how do they deal with things that need to fork or run multiple processes? Aren't they restricted to single processes?
Thanks! For what it's worth, I had upvoted you so people going through your same thoughts see the counterarguments as well.
It's still poor etiquette as it lacks basic context. Chat about what? Something important? The weather? What is the urgency/priority?
But then the question becomes, "if you don't want private votes and you don't want public votes, what do you want?"
This sounds like a recurring dream of mine: ubiquitous eco accounting (energy, resources, pollution, future impact, ...) , becoming a normal mainstream thing everybody does as a matter of course.

As a plain text accounting fan, I usually think of this as the way.
Then I think we could do it more easily in spreadsheets, if we wanted to.
Then I think spreadsheets don't induce collaboration, education, auditability and persistence the way PTA can.

Then I think more software is rather far from being our biggest need. Building relationship with nature and ourselves is far more impactful.
Still, we are complex creatures, capable of doing many things at once..

OP, that's a great question; I see the Cardano project, I think it's one you should take a look at.
The official client has a limit of 3 machines for free users.

I'd be curious if there's a way to characterize "the prototypic expected human" as implicitly reflected in SCOTUS decisions and how that changes over time.

For example, this decision implies people are expected to read the volumes of fine print on a ticket before they purchase it.

Seems like if you decontextualized things it might point to absurdities in current law or its interpretation.

I think many decisions are affected by certain kinds of hindsight cognitive biases that distort interpretation of context.
What's the meaning of 'sous'? Some form of currency?

Also: I'm curious why you translated 'bordel' as 'whorehouse' rather than 'brothel', as the latter seems etymologically related.
Those books weren't PC enough for 1983, either. They were testing the limits of acceptability at the time. But free speech is important - people have the right to publish (mostly) whatever they please. Just like this author has the right to choose not to publish the actual joke.

Technical skills, to the tune of 21% income increase year after year when averaged over the last 10 years (so about 6x from when I started).

Ironically, it slowed mostly because I tried to be a full time stock traded at some point, then realized that if I wanted active income, a job was the way to go.
As you hint at in your last paragraph, it’s probably hard to come up with a blog-sized example for any programming technique. If 10-15 lines were really the extent our scope, we probably wouldn’t need anything more advanced than assembler. Some amount of imagination is necessary to consider whether an idea is useful in production code, so we all have different examples in mind.

Personally, I’ve had cases where three or four places had to be kept in sync, and the list was changing frequently enough that something like this became useful.

Even then, it’s still a judgement call whether code generation or (if available) macros are worth the complexity. The decision might also heavily depend on the experience of the team.
Why not just automatic? Maybe plus a button for privacy/needing darkness for a film or whatever depending on the room, but mostly I just want curtains & blinds to open in the morning and close in the evening.

It’s interesting to hear that the UK has sensible laws about this sort of thing. Over here in Murica we get these: https://imgur.com/a/UjELy2y

My guess is that they’re sending this to all numbers in a certain area code. I’m in Missouri, which was mostly red. So they kindly delivered a MAGA to my phone and I’m like “thanks! … tell me who gave you my number so I can hire a hitman on them please”

The political tactics at play are actually quite fascinating to me, because they seem so dumb. But it’s the opposite. In reality it’s effective, and I’ve always wondered why. So it’s interesting to hear that politicians are prohibited from doing this in other countries, and makes me wonder if it’s an effective policy. It seems like it might be.

Of course, that doesn’t help rid us of the silagra spammers, but maybe the FCC can come up with a solution that can prohibit both. It feels sort of hopeless, but then I remember that we could literally proxy every text message through our laptops, run them through a 1997 naive Bayesian filter, and eliminate 97% of the problem with 0.03% false positives. It seems like a matter of time till some service comes along and makes that schlep effortless, and I can just pay $5/mo for the privilege of dodging spammers.
> This indicates that you are tying "free time" closely with "spending money" by doing some costly activity. Perhaps that's the issue right there.

I'm kind of the total opposite really. I can have fun and enjoy myself without spending "real" money but guilt free money IMO make things more enjoyable when you're talking about keeping yourself occupied for spans of years.

For example I do walk a few miles every day, totally disconnected. I really like this. I've been doing this for a bunch of years on both a 20 and 40 work week schedule. I usually walk around my neighborhood but there's a couple of spots within a 10 mile radius that are nice to mix it up by going through trails, etc.

But when you finish work every day at noon those walks are going to fill up an hour or 2 of time. The same goes for reading for an hour or so. There's still a ton of time left.

Everyone is different but even as someone who can keep themselves fairly self entertained walking + reading + coding gets tedious if you're doing this every single day for 4-5 hours for ~10 years straight. It's not that they become boring but it leaves you wanting to do more things. I still do find legit joy in walking and occasional reading but when that's done my idea of procrastinating is basically looping HN, Reddit and YouTube while thinking "why are you doing this, wouldn't it be better to just work 40 hours and save more money so you have better options later?" or "yeah, go do something else but wait that's $75 bucks -- are you sure it's worth it?".

One thing I would like to try is moving somewhere new every 3-4 months. I think that could fill a gap of boredom because I find exploring new areas by foot really fun.
Every medicine has its own risks and contraindications, whoever tells the opposite is lying. We however keep taking medicines when prescribed because the balance of risks vs benefits strongly leans towards the benefits, right now in my country over 95% of hospitalized Covid patients are either not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated; those are solid numbers that anti vaxxers are free to ignore until it hits them directly. I take Aspirine every day, although every year people die because of it, but how many people would die if there was no Aspirine around?
> It's a complete fiction that normal people read pages and pages of contracts, EULAs, and that type of stuff.

I think incredibly long EULAs would be fine if violation on technicalities were lighter, and/or critical sections were put on top, in plain language.

For instance, I wouldn't care much about Youtube's terms and services outside of what would warrant an account ban, and what's the privacy boundaries. If Google had a clause to change my name to a random "white_dove_mud_pond-24523424" like string every time I include excrement related words in a comment, I probably wouldn't care much, they can hide it where they want. If instead it was a banning offense, I'd want it in the first 10 lines in big red bold letters. Failure to make it prominent should be ground for voiding critical clauses.

On the other extreme, I assume people actually sit for 20 min and read 30+ pages of contract verbiage when they're buying a house. IMHO there needs to be a proportionality between the time to spend on checking it and the consequences for not doing so.
In the USA, the law makers exempt themselves from many laws. For example, political campaigns can ignore the "Do not call" list which the government maintains which allows citizens to opt out of cold calls.
Marketers should always think from the perspective of their customers. And it’s a worthwhile talk for business about maintaining the relationship with customers. As your visitors should not leave your website for having a poor experience with your customer service structure.

As modern marketers say the future of business all lies in the factor of customer experience. You need to find the customer expectations first and then work on technology that helps you to achieve things.
That's why you do tech DD as an investor. Hopefully. Some nuance: not all of these are scams in the sense that the people running those companies are aware of the fact that what they are doing is essentially fraud, they believe their own bullshit. And then there are plenty that definitely know that what they are doing is fraud.
Yes, this would have had the additional benefit that it was going to be pretty performant since having to do z-buffered perspective correct texture mapping wasn't cheap on PC's at the time and the game was already set up to not require any of that.

There's definitely a tradeoff to be had here, and it's up to you to decide. I err on the side of over-editing in work/professional communications (and likely under-editing on social media), out of courtesy for the people reading what I'm saying!

What you initially stated implies a completely different meaning.

You initially made the implication that Caddy would enable the file server implicitly when it does not. That was what I interpreted upon first reading.

Your correction states that dotfiles are served using the file_server directive which is correct and and example is given in hiding the .git folder [1]

Electronic voting systems using zero knowledge proofs are superior to paper votes because it's possible to check for yourself that your vote was actually counted and not ignored.

Paper voting is extremely expensive to scale compared to a website that lets you vote. Everyone could get a notification on their phone when they are asked to vote on something as opposed to having to fill out paper and send it somewhere to be counted.
