I am a (physical) abuse survivor.

I cannot emphasize enough that members of the tech policy community must abandon the "think of the children" line of rhetoric to weaken the internet.

I don't want to think about your children. I don't want to interact with your children.

I've met people who have. People who don't just go out onto the internet to be disagreeable, but truly believe what they are saying.

That context collapse of "oh, you're serious?" paired with my sincere view that those folks can get in the ground with Jeffrey Epstein, has been quite the journey.

(I crafted the above sentence after extensive therapy, to make it clear: I will not hurt someone just because of their "sexual preference".)

But there's a Breaking Bad episode that shows what happens when someone who is not your caregiver decides not to interact -- you will choke on your own vomit and die, or otherwise come to some end that wouldn't have if you hadn't been all alone.

(I'm on the autistic spectrum, and a huge prestige TV geek.)

You can engineer society to coerce folks, you can invent ever creative reasons to monitor folks who the data shows have always tried to give folks autonomy to make decisions paired with accurate data, but then... well turn on the news.

You will what you voted for. Power outages because your independent grid minus federal money rotten then got hit with a superstorm. Condos collapsing because no one did the checks. And the bridge the local tech savvy at risk youth called for help from under may literally fall down.

What "civil" society needs to do is believe victims.

Testimony is evidence. Value it as much as... computer stuff.

Or own that if you decide otherwise, there may be civil unrest.

I’ve been looking forward to this since the nimbella acq, but now I feel betrayed by the new pricing and probably won’t even try it.
Seems like they cost money on Google. Are they free on F-Droid?

Edit: It seems like they are, but without the word "Pro" in the title. I can't figure out what makes any of them "Pro".

Edit 2: Nope, some of them say "Pro" on F-Droid, too. I guess it's just in the name. Weird.
Because treads are worse than tires for compaction overall. As a soils expert explained to me (phd in the subject), compaction is a function of weight, but the function is something like 0.2*(weight) (obviously it is more complex than that and depends on the exact soil type). Compaction happens only where the tires/treads touch the ground, and tracks touch a lot more ground when you turn so even though there is less damage across the field you lose all of that and more when you turn around. Not to mention tracks have to slide sideways to turn and that is bad for your topsoil.
> Hui Muslims employed by the state, unlike Uyghurs, are allowed to fast during Ramadan. The number of Hui going on Hajj is expanding and Hui women are allowed to wear veils, but Uyghur women are discouraged from wearing them. Muslim ethnic groups in different regions are treated differently by the Chinese government with regard to religious freedom. Religious freedom exists for Hui Muslims, who can practice their religion, build mosques and have their children attend them; more controls are placed on Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Hui religious schools are allowed, and an autonomous network of mosques and schools run by a Hui Sufi leader was formed with the approval of the Chinese government.

So yeah, this is not directed at Muslims so much as it's directed at people of Uyghur ethnicity very specifically. It almost looks like CCP would like to keep the territory, but without the inconvenient indigenous people.

And they use a mix of apartheid (which just by itself is already an internationally recognized crime against humanity) and a bunch of activities at least adjacent to genocide to get there.

No, this is not a Taco Bell. This is HackerNews, and while it may not be exactly a graduate-level economics classroom, we do try to have serious discussions here. You are not adding to that in any way.

If you think that something someone says is wrong, then address it (and/or downvote). If you think that something someone says is breaking the rules, flag it.

Don't mock the very idea of meaningful discussion just because you don't like what someone trying to be sincere says.
And judging by the downvotes you've received, we still have a long way to go...

Look at the way women are portrayed in the majority of these ads: onlookers, sidelined, demure; a sidekick (or worse) for their more dynamic men.

No wonder there are so few women in tech, and shame on all of you for belittling an insightful and important comment.
Anything where decent typography is desired. Also, of course, mathematics. Mathjax is very good, but we sometimes want a canonical version of a document that looks the same for every reader, and doesn’t depend of the vagaries of constantly evolving browser engines. This means PDF.
Ah, so it's "initial window size" than than "ping round trip". Interesting. The RFC they reference doesn't seem to be elevated to official standard, and it appears different OSes have different default values.

On my Mac sysctl net.inet.tcp.maxseg_unacked says 8, which I assume is the relevant TCP option. But in the case of a server responding to a HTTP request I suppose the server could set it to basically any value, so why stop at 10? :)
The book that opened my eyes to what Math really was is a biography on Paul Erdös, The man who loved only numbers. Another really invaluable resource for me was How to solve it by Polya.
Exactly. There is one case where time zones are both absolutely necessary and work as expected with no exceptions, and that case is displaying local time.

My assertion is that a very strong argument should be won before they are used for any other purpose.
Interesting, I hadn't seen this before. How does it differ from LyX?

Is a Windows build planned?
Take a look at https://sile-typesetter.org/. IIRC it literally reuses some core C libraries from TeX/LaTeX, and glues them together in a different way using Lua, keeping Lua as the only language available. Notably, SILE recently achieved the long overdue milestone of math/equations support (https://sile-typesetter.org/2021/09/sile-0-12-0-is-released). Obviously, open-source.

edit: for some attempt at an explicit discussion of pros & cons & history vs. TeX, see: https://sile-typesetter.org/what-is/#sile-versus-tex
DDG is starting to get bad press a fair bit these days. There was also a sizeable backlash against their weird Ukraine-war virtue signalling. Seems they're not as single-mindedly focused on privacy for search users, as their initial mission statement suggested.

> There are lots of examples of government programs providing the basic needs of the poor at scale.

I'm not sure what you're comparing here. Are you saying governments are more efficient because they are bigger? Are you saying they are more efficient because they've filled a need more completely?

The first is non-sense and the second is more a function of size and power than efficiency. Efficiency is about benefit per dollar, and governments are really really bad a that, typically making up for how bad they are by simply throwing more dollars at the problem.
So fully half the code of OpenBSD (3.3M loc) is in /dev/pci/drm/amd. What does that code do?
That's how piracy works - shaming people for following the law to pretend that they're innocent victims, while making millions of dollars pushing "It's not stolen" content and destroying the creators of the content while screaming about fighting the distributors

You should consider backblaze for backups it is much less expensive and has an s3 compatible api…
Nicely done, only part-way through and I've already learned a ton from this.

As others have pointed out there seem to be some bugs in the scrolling animations, but they do help explain.
That product has a serious lack of docs, and I know from experience some off-cloud vendor balancers have crappy architectures with low overall throughput limits.

AFAIK There's no paid apps on F-Droid, so it's likely that they are free.
FOMO is a thing. Kids like to join in. I'm not sure what you're finding unusual with what I said. I was responding to someone who claims watching TV makes you a lesser human than if you had been denied the choice to watch TV.
Our product vision is "Privacy, simplified." Since 2018 we've been more than search. Our app puts multi-pronged privacy protection in one package (private search, web protection, HTTPS upgrading, email protection, app tracking protection for Android, etc.), with a lot of effort to not break things while still offering strong protection -- an "easy button" for privacy if you will.
Hmm it’s been pretty stable for me but I also have only used it a handful of times. Inconsistency is definitely not a desirable trait in an NLE!

For a more battle tested solution, I recommend trying ESPHome - https://esphome.io/ - it supports MQTT as well as many other protocols.
When you destroy/squeez fungus in the forest it takes centuries to recover[1]. In Prussia when they started with scientific forestry, productivity of the forrest dropped significantly after around 100 years[2].

I haven't had many good math teachers, the one that I did was some poor frazzled adjunct who had to run over to CMU after he was done teaching my class at Pitt. (I'm an alumni.)

The textbook isn't the barrier, it's the end of chapter activities.

If I decided to learn, say, geometry, something that wasn't really taught much in my middle school, I'd probably do Khan academy or try to find a set of finished problem sets.

(When you remove the academic dishonesty angle, the real issue with math courses is it's difficult to craft a math question, so then you need to keep the answer and steps leading to it secret lest folks memorize them for an A.

That issue disappears completely if you adopt a more realistic model like "can you figure out which algorithm to use on Wikipedia, search out if it's already used in a common language like Python, then import your data in a simple format like a .csv and use the trustworthy code you found.

Indy games are in a golden age right now. Small teams are building stellar titles and making tons of money in the process.

Most of the horror stories you are hearing from the gaming industry are coming from large multinational studios, many of which are struggling financially.

Just look at the most recent battlefield release or cyberpunk for examples of what happens when you don’t value QA.
As one may have already noted, that was precisely my goal. When I said no one, I meant it in the metaphorical sense. It’s not actually about uniqueness, but more of being less in numbers.

In my opinion LaTeX fails to deliver when doing anything other than text based work.
Tables, images, etc are always a hassle. It gets even worse when changing one page to landscape mode. Debugging is a pain and there aren't any tools to help with that.
I have a laptop also (Lenovo Y700). Because I need the compilation power, it basically uses about the same amount of power as my custom built system. The difference is that it has its own battery, which changes (a little) the way it interacts with the van's power system.

more than a decade ago, a french global energy consumption analysis was done.

and if I recall properly, in order to _really_ reduce France global power consumption:

- reduce massively heating/AC: house/office duplication, thermal catastrophy of zillions of buildings, etc.
- reduce massively commuting.

With corona/covid, I wonder if a poorly renewed air in a small home (due to reduced heating) could amplify infection potency due to some sort of feedback-loop.
I switched to Brave search when DDG started censoring Ukraine war related news, and you should too. They jumped the shark.

Search engines shouldn't be in the business of picking what content I see based on the owners of the search engines politics.

Most other search engines are just reverse proxies for Google or Bing, so they inherit those biases.
Ok that makes a bit more sense, thanks for taking the time to educate me :)
maybe the business model of youtube is broken. if their technology is so weak that it cannot establish "value", then they need to apply human skills. if their business model cannot support the cost of those humans, then perhaps they do not have a right to exist.
I still have old Android phones that I'm not using because of outdated kernels/OS versions and their disadvantages in terms of vulnerabilities, but given the hardware is completely fine I would use them as offline general purpose tools if I had an easy way to install old store apps in them.

So does anybody know if there is perhaps an archive of old APK app files (old as in Android KitKat and earlier)?
This is a good question to ask. It's very frustrating that health authorities have not released more information, but they most likely do not know exactly how the virus spread, either.

Anal sex occurs at these types of events but is not a dominating activity. People may engage in a wide variety of sexual activities. Some may not have sex at all. My guess is that sex was not a contributing factor, but rather close skin-to-skin contact among a large group of people wearing little more than underwear.

It's also possible the virus could have been spread through "breeding," a practice where one person will be penetrated by multiple people one-after-the-other much like a Tesla supercharger.

But get any group of half-naked people together in close quarters for hours and I am sure any type of virus like monkeypox will spread. As a gay person I would very much like to at least know the most probably theories.

It's very frustrating to see comments further down postulating that a lack of protection is the cause of the virus. Last time I checked, even sex with condoms involves skin contact.

Health authorities don't seem to have learned anything from COVID. The sooner information becomes available, even if the only information is "It could be this but we need to be sure," the better.

In the meantime, the LGBT community will have to deal with this kind of misinformation as well as not knowing how to protect themselves.
Leave it to billionaires to turn human relationships into ruthless optimization and metrics. I feel that there is a need for the "slow food movement" for human relationships. Focus on inefficiency, subjective feeling, and love rather than metrics and efficiency.
Just because the western propaganda machine is more sophisticated and more powerful it doesn't mean it doesn't spread lies that twist or change the facts, actually the propaganda and brainwashing done by the west enemies is far weaker and more basic. Since the west rules the world (even from behind the curtain) it doesn't care to lie to our face or even tell us their intentions directly (think about Iraq war, ISIS, Syrian war, even Ukraine now), many 3rd world citizens can't or don't differentiate between UN and US for good reasons, because they know that in most situations UN and most international organizations acts as the facade that hides who actually taking the decision.
Now things are changing, and the western bloc is getting weaker, at some point it will start to act like the standard "dictator" you imagine.
You're really going to claim that you have the same freedom to criticize the government of China on TikTok inside China as you do to criticize the government of the US or other western county on Twitter? Do you work for the CCP? Because it's hard to imagine being so wrong by mistake.
I suppose the only thing that makes this a better proposition is Logitechs Flow software, which allows you to use the same keyboard/mouse across multiple devices on your network, without having to manually switch.

Perhaps you can use the main aux file, as other packages do. I think I never did that, so I'm not sure about how difficult it is. Or perhaps I used the aux file and I forgot about that. [ I should write an article titled "I hate LaTeX. I hate MSWord." :) . ]
Sounds fine and dandy on paper but out in the field ... that would require a tremendous amount of infrastructure. The juice is not worth the squeeze.
It is a region of Russia and it is practically landlocked from all sides by other Russia, and also it seems to have started the war by attacking Dagestan (also in Russia).

So even comparing it to Xinjiang, which China could plausible give away, Russia could not get rid of Chechnya even of it wanted.

What other outcome would you expect? But, that has ended 15 years ago, by now.

We do, but it takes a while for LLVM to accept and release patches, so by the time any one issue is fixed, there will be a new bug to take it's place.
As a John Deere Employee I have to be careful what I say.

I will say (because this is obvious from public information) that we are "looking" at electric tractors, but making them work is hard. 10 years ago we stuffed as many batteries as we could in a 100 horsepower tractor, and for 45 minutes it when head to head with a similar diesel tractor, then the batteries were dead. 100 horsepower just above a small tractor these days. Remember a Tesla might be able to produce 500 horsepower (I can't be bothered to look it up, but something very large like that seems reasonable), but to maintain speed on a freeway it only needs about 20 horsepower. A tractor is expected to produce the rated horsepower for 10 hours non stop.

Your idea of a feed cable is something we have looked at (you can find an announcement, though it might be in German). There are a lot of issues with making it work in the real world, though it might be where things go if diesel gets a lot more expensive.

The solution presented in this anonymous, undated article is relevant if you’re constrained to only using LaTeX. But you’re not, and there are certainly easier ways to go about such things. We have Python and other higher level languages that we can use to pre-process source and extract metadata. This type of problem is made much easier if you write in Markdown, putting authors, affiliations, and other metadata in (say) YAML blocks, and use Pandoc to convert to LaTeX (or anything else). You can write a filter in Python, Lua, or Haskell to rearrange the metadata the way the author wants. This would be a far more pleasant experience, and easier to extend and generalize.

The name PDF stands for portable document format (the name itself isn't that relevant, but also the intention).
PDF is unfortunately still the preferred format for sharing research papers.

And you're right, single file HTML with embedded images would be a much better format, but I assume publishers are preventing this.
Weirdly, though it sounds negative out of context, this line in the article is trying to portray this as a good thing, in comparison to some rich guy who lives elsewhere ruining your local school system for no good reason.

Since your code doesn't write the authors to the file it already requires that the authors are given before `\maketitle`, so then it's also reasonable to require affiliations there. Then you get something like https://gist.github.com/zauguin/19bf1bc9128a8abaedfe3081717b... which doesn't need a file.
