Tolerant means being able to tolerate (and respect) people with different ideas and opinions about how the world works.

Someone is bound to wheel out the old "no tolerance for intolerance" line, which is fine, but doesn't mean you can go to someone else's country and tell them that they're wrong and should be doing things the way you do them.
You are ignoring the fact that Google can start making changes to make it incompatible on a scale that a small team of open source maintainers couldn't hope to keep up with.
it seems to be a key rule of the world that the rich get richer and poor get poorer, not even in an economic sense, in terms of everything in life, the world imo tends to lean toward this model.
No; your government is OK with Vuse and not with Juul. Other reporting form Reuters covering the WSJ article (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-fda-order-juul-e-cigaret...):

"In October, the FDA allowed Juul rival British American Tobacco Plc (BATS.L) to market its Vuse Solo e-cigarettes and tobacco-flavored pods, making it the first-ever vapor product to get clearance from the health regulator."

We won't know for sure until the FDA actually releases their report, but one could infer that Juul as a provider of human-consumable vapor products was unsalvageably bad, to the point of being a danger to public health (in a way that their market competition was not).
I work for a Figma competitor doing R&D. Both our product and my testing setups use React. It's completely fine and workable, certainly to get started, but also not at all necessary.

The place you're going to end up spending a lot of time (depending on the user input gestures you intend to support) are A) two-finger panning and pinch-to-zoom in non Safari browsers (Safari's GestureEvents makes this a LOT easier). B) Robust touch support when the number of touch points changes mid-gesture. C) Detecting the difference between a trackpad and a mousewheel (assuming you want to map the mousewheel to zoom).

React wont help with any of the above, but it also wont get in your way.

You'll also be running into all sorts of fun rendering issues (browsers implement minimum and maximums on font-size if you're using HTML text), performance (fullscreen canvas 2d? ooof). If you find yourself headed towards WebGL, the usefulness of React becomes incredibly (though not completely) suspect.

Good luck!
Yes, that is very much what they were. However, they used the term compiler in very much the same way it's used today. It didn't mean something different. The concept of the "compiler" was to translate mathematical symbols (or predefined machine code representing that math) and later English like words into programs a machine could execute.
For sure, rpis are awesome too! Will definitely take a look at this one. Thanks!
Poor discoverability makes for such an awful user experience. Google and Apple have no incentive to improve their search. It's easier and more profitable for them to shill out their promoted apps.

It's like if we were given the Internet in 1990 but forced to use AOL to search, forever. Someone please disrupt app search.
The code-search application is completely distinct from the IDE-assistant application. They do not share any code, have completely different pipelines for training the backend and completely different datasets. The specific source you mentioned will not be part of the training dataset for Tabnine's IDE assistant. Hope this clarifies.

The thing is, letting the user format some text as bold isn't really enough for many use cases. You need custom block and inline elements, such as tables, highlighted code or formulas.

Ah, fond memories of first learning about Busy Beavers in A.K.Dewdney’s column in the Spanish edition of Scientific American (“Investigación y Ciencia”) as a kid:
https://www.investigacionyciencia.es/revistas/investigacion-...

I made my own Turing Machine emulator for my Commodore 64 to play with this, using the screen memory as tape to speed it up: modifying the tape was immediately reflected on the screen with no other processing needed, saving precious cycles.

That made for quite a small tape, but allowed even my crude BASIC implementation to run fast, or so I remember it.

The original article in English appeared in the August 1984 magazine, and the translated ones in October of that same year:
https://www.jstor.org/stable/24969427

If you can read Russian or Italian, you can find the full article here:

Russian: https://gudleifr.forum2x2.ru/t98-topic#1254

Italian: https://archive.org/details/divertirsiconilcalcolatore/page/...

I quote the historical introduction from the English version:

> “With the possible exception of bees, beavers are the busiest animals alive. All day they ply quiet northern waters bringing twigs and branches to their dam. It was undoubtedly this behavior that led Tibor Rado of Ohio State University to name a certain Turing-machine problem the Busy Beaver Game. In the early 1960’s Rado wondered how many 1’s a Turing machine could be made to print before it halted. Specifically, if a Turing machine with n possible states begins to work on a tape filled with 0’s, what is the largest number of 1’s it can print on the tape before coming to a stop? The answer is known for n = 1, n = 2, n = 3, and n = 4 but not for n = 5 or for any value of n grater than 5.”

That'd be because as a replacement for nicotine cigarette consumption, vaping is a net gain to public health, but as a new addiction for people not yet addicted to any chronic respiratory chemical intake, it's a net loss.

... but in this specific case, if you're already vaping, the FDA doesn't care if you switch to Vuse. It's Juul specifically that isn't getting the nod, it seems.

I'm not sure what your point is but i'll just repeat: if you do not smoke combustible cigarettes do not vape.

People can debate if vaping or nicotine is good or bad or moot from a health point of view but a simple salient fact is:

A small percentage of people who never smoked cigarettes before start to vape and then switch to combustible cigarettes. That is bad.

If one Linux distribution had 90% of Linux users, that might be a good comparison.
The worst thing about this was that openoffice was starting to get some name recognition before oracle killed it, and this whole debacle intentionally or unintentionally turned that name recognition into a weapon against LibreOffice.

Ideally they should have given LibreOffice the OpenOffice name, but even if they had just said "openoffice is dead" then it would have been easy for people to find libreoffice.

Unfortunately, by taking over the OpenOffice name and absolutely refusing to admit that development has ceased, Apache has caused tons of confusion that has massively harmed libreoffice, because for years people who had heard about "openoffice" would see the terrible, out of date, insecure pile of junk being distributed by the Apache Foundation and not realize that the actively developed LibreOffice was available.

In the case of linux distributions it was less of an issue since they just switched to LibreOffice, but I wouldn't be suprised if there are windows users who are still downloading OpenOffice (and possibly taking one look at it and giving up and switching to Office 365).

Apache should have killed OpenOffice years ago but at the very least they should take it down and honestly apologize for fucking this up so badly.

Even ignoring the harm to LibreOffice it's just irresponsible for Apache to keep distributing OpenOffice when they can't even make new releases to simply apply security patches for years.
Kinda, yes, although the implication is typically taken the opposite direction. There are busy beavers who's halting cannot be proven in ZFC!

IBM was shipping their own proprietary office suite based on OpenOffice, Lotus Symphony, and LibreOffice wasn't a good fit for that business model. IBM was the leading charge behind Apache OpenOffice, Oracle would have rather dumpstered it.
You should just stop smoking instead.

I wouldn't care the least bit what you put in your body if it didn't have disastrous public health and finance implications. How many tens or hundreds of millions are spent annually via medicare and medicaid on old and poor people with COPD, emphysema, lung cancer, etc?

Hell, I'd be happy with loosening e- and combustible cigarette regulations if it meant smoking permanently banned you from both medicare and medicaid. If you really want to smoke that bad, fine, but don't expect me to pay for the extremely predictable consequences please.

I think Android is very different, because the open source parts of Android (AOSP) do not constitute a viable OS on their own. The entirety of what we know as Android is simply not open source.

To make matters worse, Google has put in place some legal roadblocks against device vendors using AOSP in markets where others can fill in for some of the proprietary Google parts.

These requirements are subject to regulatory action and I'm almost 100% certain that they will be deemed anticompetitive and therefore illegal.
I think the parent's point was providing evidence that the lack of biodiversity causes harm. To put this plainly - if every banana that is harvested in a farm and consumed by a human is identical, then so what? It doesn't mean bananas that aren't harvested by humans also will share that same DNA.

Even then, if every banana in the world was genetically identical what harmful effect would this have? I can probably speculate, but I'm genuinely curious what the science says.
it seems primal desires in humans such as greed, lust, envy seem to shut off the rational brain centers in many people.

"Great resignation" is mostly that, a narrative. Workers aren't actually becoming powerful. They're just slightly less powerless, and everyone knows it's transient--barring an overthrow of corporate capitalism, but I think we all know that such things are unpredictable--which is why people are itchy to move now before things go back to how they were and everyone is stuck in place for a while.

It's good for cappie PR to create a narrative of empowered, entitled workers. It's just not true, though. Most of the current worker attrition has to do with COVID-related disability (long COVID), gas prices, and displacements caused by rising rents. It's not that people are suddenly deciding not to work because the Capitalism Fairy is putting seed capital under their pillows--it's that people who had few options now have even fewer.
> Vaccines causing long-term damages more than Covid while Covid causes long-covid with long term damages 1 in 10 times and vaccines cause long-term damages 1 in 100,000 times.

Do you know what long term is? We literally don't have enough data to determine which way this will go. According to the NIH they're collecting long term data that will end after 3 years of study[0]. I'm old enough to remember that COVID-19 started around November of 2019. The current date is June of 2022, if my math hasn't failed me, we still haven't hit 3 years of having COVID. Further, the vaccine came out in December of 2020. It's stupid to try and say that the vaccine is perfectly safe long term, the same way it's stupid to say it's dangerous long term. We literally just do not know.

And from that study you listed on trans folks regretting transition:

> Thirty-nine percent (39%) of respondents experienced serious psychological distress in the month before completing the survey (based on the Kessler 6 Psychological Distress Scale), compared with only 5% of the U.S. population.

> Forty percent (40%) have attempted suicide in their lifetime, nearly nine times the rate in the U.S. population (4.6%).

> Seven percent (7%) attempted suicide in the past year—nearly twelve times the rate in the U.S. population (0.6%).

So apparently trans folks are only 9-12x more likely to attempt to commit suicide, but we're still being told that there's absolutely no harmful physiological effects. After all they don't regret it.

BTC is simpler and more static which I think is an advantage for long term store of value. PoW also has advantages on that front too. I think the environmental concerns are generally overblown and don’t matter.
> I tend to install FOSS because imo they are more "future-proof", but some of them are developed by companies (e.g., Fedora Linux) and that makes me wonder if they're truly future-proof.

The story of CentOS should be telling that, no, many pieces of software that are backed by a company will not be future-proof and will probably experience certain changes as a consequence of that, be it being transformed to better fit corporate goals (CentOS Stream), or being retired eventually so the company may focus on something else (Atom), or will just be left to slowly rot over time as happens with most code (OpenOffice).

Then again, it's not like open source projects are that future proof or safe from "drama" either - for example, the Lubuntu project has 2 homepages for no reason: the official one at https://lubuntu.me/ and some other one that serves old versions and is not trusted by my ad blocking solution https://lubuntu.net/

There are also cases, when open source projects experience fragmentation like happened with Gogs https://gogs.io/ and Gitea https://gitea.io/en-us/ and sometimes there are cases where particular individuals simply cannot work together and as a consequence pretty much the same happens, as was the case with Swoole and Open Swoole: https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src/issues/4434

Treat most pieces of software that you use as if they might not be there in a year. Or, alternatively, as if you might need to take over the maintenance of whatever you're using, if you can.

No; they're banning Juul and not Vuse. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-fda-order-juul-e-cigaret...

The issue isn't e-cigs in general (though, to be clear in terms of health risks: if you aren't smoking anything now, avoid smoking both). It's that Juul was such a trash-fire that even acquisition by one of the biggest FDA-compliance-factories in the United States didn't convince the FDA that the fire was out.
Does Apache ever "declare" anything dead? In my experience things are just allowed to drift quietly into bureaucratic ghost towns. I'm not sure if they've ever formally disbanded a project, but maybe somebody has an example.

It would be helpful if OpenOffice were formally killed though. The name "Libreoffice" is not particularly catchy and I can never remember which is which even though I actually have LibreOffice installed on the computer I'm using right now.

Edit: Oh here's an example: https://river.apache.org/ but it took them several years to come to terms with it, but then again that was quicker than OpenOffice, yes.

Edit again: I think coincidentally (or not) Apache River has a similar history to OpenOffice, in that after buying Sun Microsystems, Oracle "donated" it to Apache, "donated" meaning "Good luck, this isn't our problem anymore." One of those things that looks like goodwill but really isn't...
This isn't true. First the terminology is a bit weird. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. This fact was not known until the 19th century! Classial "wrought iron" (whih has a carbon content under 2%) has a similiar composition to what is now called mild steel (it has somewhat different physical properties because wrought iron has inclusions of slag because of how its made). Classical steel has a somewhat higher carbon content. Pig iron (or cast iron) has an even higher carbon content, and is the product of a blast furnace.
Steel could be made in a number of ways. The process of creating wrought iron naturally produces some higher carbon steel, which could be removed. This is how japanese swordmaking works (they take higher carbon steel, and low carbon steel, and pound the together). The finery process, invented in china, but heavilly used in europe, involved taking pig iron, and slowly oxidizing it to remove carbon. For armor, case hardening involves baking wrought iron in carbon to cause the surface to become steel. The cementation process from early modern europe involved doing this, and then folding the steel to produce uniform metal.
Indian steelmaking didn't involve pig iron, since india didn't use blast furnaces.
> and therefore exhibit sentience based on varying states

Consciousness and sentience are not synonymous. It's possible to conceive of being conscious, but having no sense inputs. Without sense inputs, you can't be described as "sentient".

> As you progress through the evolutionary chain

Ah, evolution is always progress! It's not obvious to me that humans are "more evolved" than e.g. ants. I assume ants have less of whatever you are referring to as "self-awareness and inner thought"; but there are many more ants on the planet than humans, and I believe they actually comprise more of the Earth's biomass than humans. So arguably, they are better-adapted to this environment than humans, and so more advanced.
