Just from looking at the heading: There is GNU Guix, which also already packages many Emacs packages and many of the contributors / authors of GNU Guix use Emacs to work on it themselves. I have a mostly Guix installed Emacs setup, only including my own init.el and some packages installed through `M-x list-pack RET`, which are not on Guix already. It works quite well and is easy to update.

Won’t go. Won’t watch.

I’d boycott it if I ever went or watched football generally, but it’s one of those things I am absolutely uninterested in, so unfortunately I’m not even able to take an active stand against this bullshit.
It feels like stolen valor to say I've written a compiler when I'm really relying on someone else's compiler.
If you abandon stanards which requires testing with different implementations you absolutely abandon acessibility for vastly more people in the future, imho.
When I was in college, our dorms had a 'night desk' immediately after you entered the dorm to keep out criminals. Two people would sit there all night, and you had to manually 'check in' with them to be allowed to return to your room.

In actuality, it was a small rural college town with minimal criminal activity, and the night desk was used to catch, arrest, and fine college students returning to their dorm to sleep after a night of drinking.

Qatar will likely enlist hotels to police this law.
Not to me. But I get the impression we have at least three different world views / ethos at play, and few people are open to changing camps.
For a vastly better take on the origin story of the Internet, based on the work of someone who was there at the time, documenting it at the time, I'd recommend without reservation John Quarterman's The Matrix.

First published in 1990, just as the WWW was emerging (and failing to make the book), it was revised in 1997 (the link I'm giving here). The earlier book does discuss extensive sets of networks of which ARPANET, formally decomisssioned in 1990 after spawning the then-nascent Internet, was only one instance.

The introduction includes earily prescient discussion of the role early computer networks played in the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre of 1989.

The RPi might not quite manage it, but any USB-C Mac and many Windows machines can. Maybe. Just make sure you know whether you're expecting to use Thunderbolt over USB-C or USB-C alt modes, and make sure you're within the power budget of a PoE -> USB-PD adapter. And I suspect you'll need to fudge the monitor power supply somehow too.

The different bits will locally need a number of wires to join them together, but you might manage to run the whole thing off a single ethernet cable.

Based on everything I have seen over my lifetime (~50 years), the answer is yes.

At this point, it should be clear to all that we need to raise the age to purchase alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and to vote. I'm saying this as someone with who tends to lean strongly in favor of individual rights.

Either that, or acknowledge that these laws have very little to do with public health and safety, and more to do with profit and taxation.
Happy that I use my time to try to help your disability and make your life easier rather than make sure that a web browser that hardly anyone uses work 100% correctly.

Surely, most of the time Firefox will work just fine or at least good enough and by that standard I am sure that a site that has put some focus for it being easier to read with a screen reader is more important?
Nobody is forcing me to but to reiterate, if you don't feel bothered by someone being gay, why should Qatar be bothered if someone is engaging in a sexual relationship with someone in their own private bedroom? And yes, I could just not go there. But that is not the issue here, the issue being that Qatar forced their values upon other people.

I don't see how your last two questions relate to anything.
>People frown on public defecation. Why is that?

I would have thought that was obvious.

It's because it smells, spreads disease and is seen as a general disregard for others that have to be near what's left behind.
They both have the same problem of needing large margins for being a middle man. Good ones no doubt, that provide good services for buyers and sellers, but they're still middle men. The kind of technology and services they offer seem pretty vulnerable to competition and becoming increasingly commoditized. Whereas the cost of providing a house/car and person to service it is not coming down. So the idea they can just keep extracting billions of dollars per year out of this (and massively growing that revenue to cover their vast operating costs) seems optimistic to me.
> I’m not what that looks like but it should be cleaner, simpler, open and blockchain-free.

You’re asking for an open network and then putting restrictions on individuals right away by saying they can’t use blockchains on it. Some people want to use blockchains (or any other technology) and an open network shouldn’t put restrictions on how people participate.
use-package is sort of declarative for many things.
If only everything were so black and white. Every country has facets of barbarism.
Yeah, but it is now illegal in at least one state to get your child medical care if they are trans… I’m not trying to do what about type stuff, just appalled at the myriad of conditions I see around the world.
Uh, Qatar exists because the USA props it up.
Yes, I've been wanting something that's just a rich document but designed around accessibility with no styles or JavaScript.
In Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, and elsewhere in the region migrant workers have their passport taken by the employer and thus can’t leave the country. They are stuck. In most other countries the employer does not confiscate your passport. It’s weird to me that one needs a passport to leave a country. In the U.S. you don’t need a passport to leave.

They killed 3000-4000 Indian slaves every year for their stadium.
You really think they'll treat you with such care ?

This while much of the emirates is serviced by a slave-class Indians, who can't practice their religion, build temples (exceptions: Oman, UAE), or anything "disallowed" by the savage law-system they practice. Then these same good-for-nothing oil sheikhs preach to India!

Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood it rears really are the worst threats to humanity. Alas, most Islamists take their training again from India's UP (no better way to develop anti-kafir theology when surrounded by them I suppose). Ah the many manifestations of India's savage colonizers.
Or rewriting code from books?
If alcohol is involved, there is no way to be sure
> This is barbaric: Flogging -> "Flogging is employed as a punishment for alcohol consumption or illicit sexual relations"

I think it is a lot less barbaric than imprisoning people for smoking weed, for years, or have them appear on a sex offender list, massively limiting their freedom, for arguably small-scale things, like public urination.
No, I mean culture.

You are also free to pursue an academic career, not take drugs, and speak elegantly. But that lifestyle is far less glorified in Western media than drug use, gangsta life, and profanity.

Here's a thought: his many Western popular media heros use violence to achieve their goals? How many use rhetoric, critical thinking, and respectful verbal persuasion?
I'm ok with attacking all of them

No mention of the fact the immune system doesnt attack starch which is high in potatoes, but the immune system will attack other sugars ingested.
The fact that there is any confusion about this, (and clearly there is!), makes this an issue.

For my part, I would never travel to a middle eastern country for any reason, specifically to avoid the possibility that something I never suspected could be an issue, becomes an issue.
If you get raped and report it as though you were in a civilized place you will be arrested and charged with adultery. For being raped.

I know nothing about the HDMI spec, but according to other comments, Ethernet over HDMI is a thing. So in theory perhaps the TV could present itself as a network device and then MITM your traffic. Not sure if that's actually possible though.
Q&A: Migrant Worker Abuses in Qatar and FIFA World Cup 2022 (2021)
Accessibility is important and regulated in the USA. If the web site of a public government entity or large business in the USA is not accessible, that does violate the ADA and you have every right to file a complaint:

https://beta.ada.gov/file-a-complaint/

I've never actually done so, so I cannot speak to the efficiency of the process, but I have been on the receiving end of complaints back when I ran a SaaS that provided about 5000 public entities with their governance sites. We did get called by the DOJ when complaints were filed and would be held accountable for fixes.
- 2% in core inflation is not a small difference. It’s the average British worker losing 700£ a year more than the European

- of course they have different currencies, that’s exactly what we are talking about, and also different governments. One busy sabotaging its supply chains and the other doing whatever

- the UK has been having much more severe shortages than the rest of Europe (empty petrol stations everywhere bar NI?), that are having an impact on prices

> You are not explaining your rather bold claim that "most of UK inflation" is due to Brexit...

You are right, I should have said “much of the core inflation differential with the EU is due to Brexit”

You are welcome
How about we discuss about the topic in hand instead of deflecting it.
What about upper class non-muslims? :P
it does not really apply to a typical house, because given a high house price, developers will just go to town and make a killing creating more homes
a) not everyone on this forum is from the US

b) 2 things can be objectively bad at the same time. It should be ok to criticize Qatar from within the US without needing to preface your nationality.
So it's only bad if the government does it? The people doing it are American, it's indicative of something in society.
How dare these infidels not follow Sharia even when they're inside their homes, away from the sights of everyone except the Holy One (TM).

It's quite obvious that mass shootings are culturally acceptable in the USA. If they weren't, measures would have been taken to reduce their frequency, as has happened in many other countries in the world.
But it shouldn’t itself be based on blockchains. That is, if you want to use them, that’s fine and up to you, but if you don’t want to use them, then that should also be a valid choice. The core technology shouldn’t be based on blockchain and should work just as well without.
Edit: to reply to the lovely article. I wouldn't mind if there was a reference implementation for the web. So that people could experiment with things on it. There's nothing stopping me building Chromium which I did on a Windows machine once as an experiment. I couldn't get Firefox to build as Mercurial kept crashing. I would like to see proper SQL APIs in browsers as that's the industry standard for fetching and retrieving data. The browser is a very powerful piece of technology. I see it as a magazine viewer and application distribution platform. I use Repl.it when I am on a low powered windows laptop and IntelliJ and vim otherwise.

I would also like to see a lightweight native API for DOM queuing ala React.

Layout engines are difficult to write and adapt. Especially adapt as they're so complicated.

I read part of the ORC Solver paper and there is algorithms in that paper for writing a layout engine and there's code on GitHub.

https://github.com/YueJiang-nj/ORCSolver-CHI2020

I would like to adapt this approach but write the code myself but it is obviously a challenging area.

I am yet to write a branch and bound optimisation algorithm. But from my understanding you greedily try a number of rows or columns and try arrange objects preferred width and preferred height into the space available. ORCSolver uses intervals and eliminates attempts that are not viable. ORCSolver uses Z3 for the final step to actually get coordinates when the system has been constrained. I plan to use ORTools.

For simplicity I plan to break up text into letters and try place them all in a flowing horizontal then vertical layout. I can use GetTextExtents of WX widgets to predict size of a rendered letter. It shall be slow but then how else do you begin writing a layout engine? I would need to read TeX or the Art of Computer Programming.

Layout is expensive especially for grid based layouts with flowing. I wonder if website authors could prerender at different resolutions and provide start point sizes and coordinates for speed. Generally everybody reaches the same numbers on everyone's machines and we don't need to try a lot of aborted work to relayout.

I am the author of additive GUIs which is a declarative rendering approach for bootstrap layouts. https://GitHub.com/samsquire/additive-guis
It's not really a layout engine but it does layout things according to mutually recursive rules.
Going Critical (2019)
The Qatari government is interested in playing both sides. They want to enforce their law while appearing modern to the international community. Therefore you won't hear about this in Qatari news media, although it seems they'll be quick to punish any saucy post-match celebrations.
My partner and I are in a heterosexual relationship. We often hold hands in public, sometimes we kiss, sometimes one or the other or both have arms around the others’ waist. Our ordinary behaviour could get us in trouble there? Fine, I wasn’t planning on going anyway. But why on earth would this disturb anybody? It’s not like people make out in public.
Not really. Norway has pubs and restaurants though, and I imagine has a higher threshold for “being drunk” than Qatar

edit: huh I mixed up my middle-east countries I think, I didn't realise you could normally go out for a beer. I still think that suggesting the two places are equivalent is a little bit of a stretch though.
Doctors beware.
Matrix has really interesting properties for censorship circumvention, but their approach has drawbacks: designing an append-only log with consensus building takes a lot of resources (though the implementations are getting better). It's not uncommon for medium server operators to report >10GB RAM usage and at least twice as much database storage... which is quite too much for most of us.

Also worth noting, there are also issues regarding the fast evolving protocol. Room protocol versions keep increasing and if some server doesn't have the very latest version it may be unable to federate with a more modern room, from what i understand. (please correct me if i got this wrong)

Finally, some pseudonymous persons are really unhappy that as a consequence of decentralized rooms, your public matrix address is leaked to any server federated with a room you joined. Under IRC, addresses are local to a server (not federated) so this concern does not apply, while on XMPP only the servers/services you explicitly connect to know of your JID.

In the meantime, IRC and XMPP provide useful services with 1-10% of those resources, despite most clients being less polished. For example, jabberfr.org uses only a few gigs of RAM for hundreds of clients and over a thousand of server-to-server connections. Not all features may be available on all clients/servers, but "graceful degradation" is definitely there so noone is left out.

To be clear, decentralized room is an amazing concept, and it's really cool the Matrix team has full-time employees to evolve things that quickly. It's just too bad historical standards were left out (decentralized rooms could have been a XMPP extension), and Matrix focuses (though this focus is changing) on high-end clients/servers.
You are not the only one that has said this but would love a link to a video on how you like to work with both together.

Copilot uses a huge model and a ton of GPU's (and an unlimited budget) to focus on really long completions. This is a very specific choice to go for long completions.

We have worked hard to solve this problem differently and with the new generation you will see longer multi-line completions while also giving developers the options to use shorter suggestions (perhaps together with Copilot)
GDPR gives people the same leverage against companies as companies have against people because of DRM.
It’s not complicated, it’s just very detailed :)
By that measure the US seems way better than Qatar, no?

Or are you arguing the US isn’t perfect, in that case no country is.
At this point I have to assume that you're not arguing in good faith but for the sake of being argumentative. Have a good day.

I can't remember the last time I saw a website that was broken specifically on Firefox, maybe like 2009 era perhaps?
> "[...] an estimated 4,000 migrant workers will die, making this event the deadliest in sporting history."

Some sources say 400,000 gladiators died in the arenas in ancient Rome. It was during multiple events of course, but that number does not include deaths of constructions workers.

Not trying to make any excuses for Qatar, but "deadlies" seems to be exaggerated.
Now apply this to spiritual pollution.
Yes, but we need to ensure that it stays JavaScript-free rich document format. We would need to ensure that it's impossible for bad (and rich!) actors to introduce their Turing-complete tracking machinery into this new document format when it becomes popular.
As a counter example, look at how many countries have state funded healthcare with restricting unhealthy food or behaviour. By my count 66 countries have state funded health care and 0 have restrictions on unhealthy food or behaviour, (I admit my count was limited)

The scaremongering about this is insane, I've seen people justify Apple forcing all browser on iOS to be Webkit based for the sake of "diversity" and "competition".

IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BAD AS PEOPLE WOULD MAKE YOU THINK!

Competition is great, forcing me to use Webkit on iOS is not how you fix this. Please go promote and support Firefox in any way you can.
This is a large fraction of the reason why I stick to using Safari on my Mac.
> different culture

Different culture, when used to subdue and forbid what others do, stops being a goal of a xenophilic society and starts being a nuisance to personal liberty.

I am a xenophilic person, and I am absolutely disgusted by things such as this.
> GIMP will never be mainstream, because it's made for specifically trained "expert-users" only, without any easy path to glide into for new users.

I don't entirely disagree with this criticism, but it's interesting to note that in the past years the GIMP project has received significant contributions from ZeMarmot project so the artist-developer feedback loop is shortening.

There's been major advances lately and given more time/resources i believe the actual team (and new contributors?) could really make GIMP even better.
Jacob Jackson is awesome and we loved the time we got to work with him. Brilliant dude
In my experience, the [western] people that only agree with this do so when it doesn’t involve them. Or until it involves them.
So, just get married for a night, then (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_mut%27ah: “Nikah mut'ah Arabic: نكاح المتعة, romanized: nikāḥ al-mutʿah, literally "pleasure marriage"; temporary marriage: 1045 or Sigheh (Persian: صیغه ، ازدواج موقت) is a private and verbal temporary marriage contract that is practiced in Twelver Shia Islam in which the duration of the marriage and the mahr must be specified and agreed upon in advance.”
> And why don't we in the west sanction them or refuse to trade with them for this practice?

I wish we would. Possibly the one good thing coming out of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is a realization that depending on oil and gas leaves you very vulnerable and that alternative sources of energy must become more common.
wouldnt the air in the tunnel get super toxic due to emissions? would we seriously pay taxes to not only dig all of these tunnels but also to ventilate the tunnels!?! Might be okay once we are all on clean fuels... until then it is too farfetched
I am assuming you are describing the behavior of combining government law with religious believes, and how that is applied.
More than half people I know in Europe are. A lot of Americans are, too.
It’s a solved problem as far as one can get given the constraints involved. As I said, if you don’t want to use that phrase then don’t. I’m not going to quibble over semantics. Human societies are far more complex than programming and the notion of “solved” means something different in the former than in the latter. Use whatever phrase you want. Just don’t think the U.S. system is in any way better. You are the one who brought up an anecdotal experience in favor of the U.S. system over Canada’s system.
I will try to flag all companies in my mind that are advertising on this event and then continue to avoid them if possible.
I just don't even bother with them anymore. Booking.com has scummy UX tactics, but the filters work, the prices are accurate and the range is wide. Once you find something, always good to check agoda or similar to see if they're cheaper. Also always double check on apps - for some reason they discount more, seems marketing execs still dream of app based e-com. And the websites of the places you want to stay, even holiday houses tend to have their own websites.

Airbnb is just frustrating from start to finish.
