I think part of the point is that if you are a Rails shop first, then trying to strap DDD on is only rarely going to work. If you are a "right tools for the job" shop who decide to do DDD as a primary tool, then there might be cases where it is what you choose.
That was already done with Zope3. A lot of good stuff in there, but why use Python then?
> Klingon made it into Unicode.

No it did not. Klingon was originally proposed in 1997 and rejected in 2001. A second proposal was made in 2016 with more optimistic noises. But AFAIK it has yet to be accepted.

It is also, like Tengwar and Cirth (which AFAIK remain unincluded even though they are on the BMP roadmap), held back on IP grounds. To my knowledge, the IP issues remain fully unresolved.

Klingon is included in the ConScript registry, but that is unrelated to unicode itself, it performs ad-hoc and non-standard allocations in private use areas.
Their primary product is delivering eyeballs to ads, and they’ve boiling-frogged us all to accepting them at the top of the search. Or, maybe income as been added to their legendary search algorithms?
No, probably not. Nevermind that our own Congress regularly pulls this on us in the stock and real estate markets, insider trading happens all the time in various forms. The only difference here is that you can scan the chain for obvious forms of it.
> basically everyone can use a more established payment method instead.

Are you hypothesizing that the amount of donations will not be reduced as a result of this decision? Even the person who wrote the proposal admitted that this decision would lead to less donations. Are you suggesting 100% of people who were going to donate with crypto are now going to donate the same amounts using traditional channels?
This is lovely. Thanks for sharing!
I think tig warrants more than just a passing mention.

For me it's the best complement for a command line focused git usage, because it offers a far better (but still streamlined) experience for staging chunks than "git add -i", through its "tig status" TUI interface.

One thing that I never bothered to research if it can be modified and the defaults bother me a little is that it does not use vim keybindings (gf for loading a commit, for example).

I remember the days of people beginning to abuse ftp sites, all us admins shutting down our writable ftp upload folders, and thinking, "this is why we can't have nice things." It was the beginning of the end of the early, friendly internet.
I wonder if anyone can comment on the probability of that happening. From my current understanding it would be vanishingly small.
This is how I taught my son to do these, but just wrote a simple script using the ImageMagick library and regular grid paper.

It's definitely not a huge technical wonder, but I swear he made hundreds of them.
> Furthermore China prefers peaceful solutions where it can

In this case, the blind spot of western liberalism - demography. Taiwanese fertility rates are below 1.3 for nearly two decades now, some years even dipping below 1. All China has to do is wait for 30 years - half of the island's population will perish of old age by then, the remaining 2/3 will be retirees
Almost, but it's missing paragraph tags for the first paragraph of each section, which makes them run into the following paragraph when viewed with Firefox's Reader View.
There is a groundswell of left thinking in the US but whenever some aspect of it gains a little bit of traction it gets contorted beyond recognition by the liberal arm of the capitalist establishment.

"Wokeness", as an example, started off by being about real matters of social justice like cop brutality in 80s Harlem and somehow ended up being about meaningless symbolism like changing the name of the master branch.
I see a lot of people parroting Russian propaganda about democratically elected Yanukovitch. Yes, he was democratically elected, but so what? Hitler was also democratically elected. Ukrainians elected Yanukovitch and Ukrainians overthrew him. That's also democracy, literally. You can call that a coup or whatever you like it.

Also, what you call a coup did not install a new government. The parliament was still the same. All MPs who didn't flee remained MPs. Including from Yanukovitch's party and including openly pro-Russian ones.

Finally, a new president was _elected_ very shortly (given the circumstances).
I don't feel like those two sentences pose a dichotomy. In the same way that I think Amazon is hell on earth but would very likely work for them simply because working in a capitalist system means you'll always be contributing to harm somewhere, the only difference is in intensity or directness. From my perspective someone can think crypto is a net loss to society and still work on a company that uses it for a multitude of reasons, with circumstance being one of them.
One things I'd like to see come out of RISC-V is a kind of microcontroller/microprocessor hybrid. Hobbyists are doing amazing things with the RP2040 PIO system (I haven't been able to wrap my head around it personally), including HDMI/VGA output and ethernet control. All out of a tiny microcontroller, and by (above-) average Joes in the street. What this proves is that you don't need expensive secret IP to get the job done. You may not do it spectacularly, but you can can do it.

Now imagine a gussy-upped system like this; a system that approaches being a microprocessor, probably not as powerful, that has something like PIO where some of them are dedicated to specific hardware. You could maybe store the drivers in a ROM, if you like.

So you'd have some kind of BIOS system. Want to produce a tone? Just push a value into a register. Write directly to the display buffer. No OS required, although a DOS equivalent would be nice. Not necessarily Linux, though.

Voila, you'd have some kind of real-time system that needs no OS unless you wanted it. The system would be very easy to understand, and a great educational tool. It would also be a Maker's dream. An 80's system bought into the 21st century. No binary blobs or any of that nonsense.

You'll know you've done it right when Doom has been ported to it (no joke intended).

I don't care if it doesn't run Firefox or if the graphics system seems a bit dated. Don't try to out-compete Intel, see what you can do to carve out a niche.

Just my 2c.

It's a little small of you since file extensions generally have no actual relation to formats. There's nothing stopping you from naming yours .wbp, although I wouldn't expect most programs to accommodate you.

I just changed one to .wbp to test with paint.net. The Open File dialog doesn't even have a mask that allows me to show the file. Dragging and dropping resulted in the program complaining, "The image type is not recognized, and cannot be opened" despite WebP having a recognizable header. But I lay that at the feet of the application, not the format.

In the end, it's okay to be a little small sometimes. I've held grudges for less myself.
Insider trading doesn't apply to most "traditional" assets either. Everyone's free to trade in FX and commodities for example.
I am by no means an arbiter of what counts or does not. :-) That being said, whatever freedoms you can exercise is always a great thing! If you leverage github underneath as a platform via a custom domain to run your indie blog, then i say go for it! At least that is better than an alternative like living as a sharecropper on someone else's digital land like Medium.com, etc.
I was actually thinking this morning that I'd like a similar feature for YouTube. It's recommdation system seems to basically regurgitate the very last thing I watched.

Not sure what you imagine when you imagine a "place rigged with explosives".

Cartoon sticks of dynamite hanging from the rafters while everyone is tripping on ignitor wires is not a pleasant place to work in.

Having a box full of explosives in a remote shed on the property and having the on-site security team trained on when and how to use them: you wouldn't even notice in the every day.

What matters really is not the few minutes it takes to unlock the shed, unlock the box and carry it inside. What matters are the processes. Who is authorized to call for evacuation and destruction of the fabs? (Is it a political decision or one the military can do on its own?) How do they send the message to the fab? (Remember, civilian communication might be down in case of an attack and even military communication might be disrupted.) How will the team on the ground verify that the order is coming from the proper source? (You don't want some adversary to be able to impersonate your command chain and cause the unintended destruction of your fab.) How will the workers be evacuated? Do we need to finish a roll call before we destroy the fab, or just give enough time for everyone to leave? If the second how much time?

How are these steps trained for and exercised? If you have answer to all of these questions I would say that the fabs are "rigged to blow". If you don't then you will be forced to improvise in case of an attack which hurts your chances of deterring the attacker.
I understand that but it was not a vote for Wikipedia users nor it was a vote for Wikipedia donors. It was a vote for Wikipedia and what payment do they accept - it has no impact for you as an user, and as a donor - they made their choice how and what they want to be donated to them

It's an interesting topic in on itself, about rejecting donations. On one hand they are donations to you so you should be greatful but on the other hand, if they are from the party you're against... well, do you accept even if it helps your cause?
I've just read a fantastic biography of him: https://siobhanroberts.com/genius-at-play/

He was thoroughly sick of the Game of Life from soon after its discovery and fame via Martin Gardner's article. Once it was proved to be Turing complete, so "everything" was possible, it became uninteresting to him.
I thought Microsoft was working on a "mod" to git that made it work on huge repos, e.g., the Windows source. Did that ever come to fruition?
The chain of reasoning that everything observable in nature is replicable by humans would also imply us being able to replicate creation of a living cell from non living material and then endow that organism with consciousness.

Further more it would also imply us being able to replicate birth of stars, black holes, and "the big bang" itself.

I am not qualified enough to speak if there is anything fundamentally impossible with all of these, but that would basically make human race "God".
> They have a false picture of the history of math that makes it seem as if a huge chunk of the most important mathematical concepts were discovered exclusively by Western mathematicians.

Can you describe the "right picture" of mathematics?

Where would Real Analysis be without Newton, Leibniz, Cauchy, Weierstrass, etc.? Where would Set Theory be without Cantor, Zermelo and Fraenkel? Where would logic be without Russel, Tarski and Gödel? Where would computability theory (and thus, computers) be without Turing, Church and von Neumann? ... and so on

Unless you can find evidence that all these fields were independently studied elsewhere, or that those fields aren't important (tough sell), I will have to continue to believe that a large part of what is today's mathematics did originate in the West. That doesn't make the West "superior" (or deny the fact that, during certain periods, Europe was an intellectual backwater compared to other areas), but it's just how history went.

In context the discoveries of Breuer might be of interest. I think he had deeper insights than Freud and his later criticism about the too strict generalizations of Freud are fitting. But apart from he perhaps unwillingly (or not?) demonstrated the power of suggestion.

I disagree that more content control will help here though, as such controls will be transparent and the first link will become even more relevant again. A better suggestion is make the triviality of symptoms apparent, so just more elucidation about mental health problems, which only become pathological in extreme instances of certain behaviors. You don't have OCD if you check if you shut down the oven for the second, third or fourth time.

With what I agree is that this could be even more malicious than what we have classified as medical misinformation, where important critics in the medical community were ostracised. This was just intellectual laziness and failure of those on a crusade. But you have to look at the startup itself to determine that. Perhaps they just try to help people. Perhaps being healthy on social media is just not cool enough anymore.

Same for me. The only thing I miss is having slightly shorter paragraphs in a few places - everything else feels good.
> Notably, it appears that anyone could register a glyph with the AFII for a fee of 5$ to 50$ (about 8.60$ to 86$, accounting for inflation). Even if the International Glyph Register can be found, it likely merely contains another table with the glyph, the indentifier, and the short description. To know its origins would require the original registration request that added the character, but it’s unlikely that such old documents from a now-defunct non-profit organization in the 90s would have been kept or digitized.

Could be any random kid who found out about this and wanted the cool symbol they made up registered.
I hope more people are aware of the importance of establishing a positive digital footprint in the age of social media.

Practicing self-curation will not only provide a more positive image for future employers, it'll also protect you from becoming a target of ethical deplatforming in the future.

US has a lot of benefits from it but the impact on EU are EU's responsibility as well. Countries like Germany didn't take the threat seriously and kept them reliant on Russian hydrocarbons. They didn't spent money on their military and kept outsourcing it to US.

We will never know this but if saying that NATO membership is off the table could have prevented the war, they should have pushed for it.

> and we have to consider letting our culture of more freedom leak into these countries instead of forcing it upon them

With PRC, this had been the approach itself but it turns out it is not going to happen. We shouldn't even expect PRC to follow the values of west, it should be up to them to decide what they want to do.

It does endanger the US empire but it endagers other nations as well like you found in the case with Ukraine.
> You should verify, check and question your experts

As I said, you're being ridiculous, nobody has time, energy nor competence for that.
It seems the human brain is compressing memories like an autoencoder. But how does it learn? We are not reproducing the input again from the encoded memories and backpropagate the error. Or is that what we call dreaming?
Yeah. You said it better than I did.
I disagree with the notion that this is "financial survival of the fittest" and "a natural rule". There's absolutely nothing natural in this situation, and even if it was I don't think there's a reason that should be relevant.
> If we assume a signed int for available space

While UTF8 was originally defined as able to encode 31 bits, because of the limitations of UTF-16 RFC 3629 explicitly restricted the unicode code-space to 21 bits (or about 1.1 million codepoints).
They missed the opportunity to call it 'Conway's Life of Games'!

> In effect, wikipedia is paying the price of decreased donations to buy a decrease in the influence of cryptocurrencies.

Exactly! They have amassed so much money that they can afford to wage ideological crusades against things unrelated to their core mission. That's a clear signal that it's time to reduce donations to Wikipedia.

> No different than spending money to advance a non-profit's goal, except that the money being "spent" is in lost potential revenue rather than distributed actual revenue.

The difference is spending to advance Wikipedia's core mission, versus spending to advance random unrelated ventures.

> ethical companies don't do business with scammers, do not accept money from scammers.

Nope, that's not it, at all. If that were the case, they would have announced some kind of KYC initiative to identify scammers and refuse their donations. But they aren't targeting scammers specifically - scammers are still welcome to send their donations in USD, and Wikipedia will happily accept their donations. What they won't accept is donations in crypto, regardless of the origin of that donation.
I do not get it. Did you have to shut it down? Does not make sense to complain that someone uploaded stuff to a public unprotected writable storage. Wouldn't securing it with a set of credentials suffice?

We did the same thing using the character for a non-breaking space, I think it was ALT+0160. It would sort last in the list, and just be an effectively-invisible entry unless you were really paying attention. Combined with an exploit we had to change users on the FTP servers behind most dialup ISPs hosting (the free couple Mb hosting you’d get with your dialup account that very few people cared about or used), meant we had pretty much unlimited file hosting, filling random families web hosting with hidden folders full of mp3s and warez.
how do you regulate crypto in the corrupted country with corrupted govt? How people want to regulate it this way in a such country?

Your example makes sense in countries like Canada ( till 2021 ). Who knows when US or Germany or other west country will start to play against their citizens like in Canada?

I think probably faster than later because it goes into comunist like states direction where country want to run every citizen life ... like it happened in Poland after II-WW
I'm surprised I must say. I have never ever heard of anyone talking about 'Oberleitungen' being something that we should get rid of. It wouldn't have come to my mind to question them, so that's why I was so baffled (and maybe a bit harsh in my expression).
Unicode defines characters, their semantics and (very flexible) guidelines for rendering them. Unlike, say, bold, italic or super/subscripts, bidirectionality is an intrinsic property of those characters and can't be easily refactored.

Perhaps, though insider trading rules are pretty hard to enforce inside relatively confined and regulated realms.

One solution is to go a step up the meta. Ban trading for certain groups or classes, like banning parliamentarians and government officials. ..but spouses, kids, friends and cousins make for a pretty substantial loophole.

That said, not regulating against insider trading bleeds very quickly into market manipulation and corruption.

Not sure what the ansers are. This is a very dirty part of the game game. Crypto brings in a new set of players, and it takes years before they'll learn to do this in a way that maintains a stable plausible legitimacy.

We absolutely cannot have second tier people insider trading and rigging markets. It's antistabalizing.
Monero already exists. Why hasn’t it won?
China buys US debt as a balance against the fact that they export so much in goods to the US.

If China and the US were to get into conflict, the cesation of exports would balance out the US's cancelation of debt.

It's not as big of a motivator as you think.
Insider trading delegitimizes markets. It’s illegal for all regulated US commodities trading. It’s called front-running. It in theory would make the market more efficient for that one minute interval where a local trader eg makes trades ahead of a larger institutional order of an honest participant. But by screwing over the honest participant it would misrepresent the true price of the asset. It’s definitely illegal by the CFTC and any exchange that trades anything regulated.

That doesn’t stop people from trying to get away with it under the radar tho (small front-running order ahead of large institutional order). The innovation in crypto is frontrunning at the transaction time is more difficult (trades are encrypted, not made in some open outcry pit).

However this doesn’t stop exchanges from screwing over customers by creating demand and someone inside trading their pre-listed asset.

To prevent that programmatically you’d need a crypto protocol for establishing new listings where everyone is aware of new listings in advance and agrees via some fair consensus.
People like to be contrarian, or at least the replies a thread receives will mostly be from people who disagree with the thread's premise.
