I'm really not a fan of software being this presumptuous. The root of most of my gripes with things like Windows and macOS (not to mention most of the things gnome/freedesktop puts out) are entirely because of this mindset. I am not interested in infecting Linux with this baby-proofing as well.

Security maximalists, especially when removing or refusing to implement useful functionality as a result of that stance, should be reminded that the first pillar of security is availability.
I am the founder of this database product. A fundamental curiosity in my heart is, after tens years of development, can the bottom layer of the common-users-accessible database still develop?

JoinBase, is my initial answer to this question.

1. For the first time, it proposes the evolution of the database from the user's point of view.

2. For the first time, it well supports three DB payload types in a single engine of a free industrial-grade database: TP single row transcation write, TP and AP read.

3. For the first time, it is so fast that for most businesses, it is no longer necessary to use a distributed database for their data needs.

You seem to feel like you're in a death struggle with someone, and it isn't me. I'm not destroying you.

It's common to hear "I like everything except country" from people who live in cities, it's common to hear derisions of southerners and flyover country and inbred bumpkins and the like. People from cities do shit on it, it's a trend that exists, all I did was say it out loud.
I am not an expert on anything but I still think there has to be a better way to allocate wireless spectrum to telecoms than an auction.

We don't want nor do we need the telecom money. At the end this money comes from us anyway. Why can't we just skip the auction nonsense?
My expectation is the coming conflict will be between NATO and a Chinese Russian alliance. The US maintains its current standard of living based on cheap Chinese goods, cheap Russian energy (indirectly) and financialization. I expect that none of those things will survive such a conflict. Even if a city avoids getting nuked what life is left for them. Maybe they could get a job at Foxconn.

> More Black Americans in the "justice" system in the 2020s than were enslaved in the 1860s.

What do you mean by in the system? I would have guessed it means incarcerated, but there were around 3.9 million slaves in 1860 which is much higher than the number of people incarcerated in the US which is around 2.3 million (Federal, state, and local) of which around 1 million are black.

Good Read.

The 'Prince' trademark of purple seems pretty flimsy. I have been to concerts before with purple curtains and never associated it with Prince. I just don't see prince as being that big of a brand. I could be wrong but I always saw him as a cult icon vs someone like Michael Jackson.
You can win a trademark dispute without registering your trademark.

https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/basics/why-register-your-tr...

Common law rights

If you haven’t filed for state or federal registration, your trademark protection is based solely on using your trademark in commerce within a particular geographic area. This limits your rights, as you can only enforce your trademark rights for the specific area where your trademark is used.
If I were PM for a consumer-facing product, number 2 would be a blocker for me and a critical issue. It's such a basic, common, everyday use case that it's mind-boggling to me that they're dropping the ball on it.
As a consumer, I have two dichotomous views in this.

1) its silly. No, cadbury doesn't own that shade of colour

2) i really want to know I have a product made by the real entity, not brand substitution under-the-hood or fraudulent supply.

I don't actually think 2) demands 1) be made somehow true. I don't think IPR law really works overall, its a very illiberal broad-brush comment but the generality here is that "owning" ideas and expressions is really counter-productive in the wide, and if colour is expressive, then owning it is a very odd idea.
It reminds me of a section from the gulag archipelago where the KGB would accuse you by taking a picture of you with someone who was thought to be a spy because they were seen with someone accused of being a spy by someone who was accused of being a spy. They came in with circumstantial evidence to take people away.

Follow anyone for long enough and they will look guilty of something. And with the 1000s of laws, does anyone think they won't break one?
It's not a given that WW3 would escalate into nuclear soon. All sides understand that once you go there, there's no way back. But there are still goals that can be achieved and territories that can be contested without resorting to nukes, and without making one's opponent desperate enough to do the same.

Of course, this presumes rational actors on all sides, which is very much not a given (esp. looking at Russia right now).

> Are public employees not allowed to pray on the job?

In this case, I would say yes, the coach should not be allowed to pray because the prayer was done as part of his role as a coach. Like if a social worker prays that a child is ok while driving to a home visit, then that’s ok. But if the social worker forces the family to pray then that’s different.

> What's the problem of Logitech with Bluetooth?

From what I've seen, Logitech devices seem to have the transmit power set very high. Like use-it-from-multiple-rooms-away high. I have no idea why they do this, but it tends to make my PCs take a bit longer to detect other Bluetooth devices in the area. But not to the point that they won't connect or function. This includes pretty janky stuff like my hand-built keyboard that uses nice!nano boards.

It seems that combining this with the AirPods' existing issues in 2.4GHz-heavy environments and you've got a recipe for connectivity problems.
Is that beneficial if it's a busy area? There's some pollution that I want to simply avoid, primarily car exhaust and fine particles like tire dust.
"Popular" just means that a lot of people like it. That's a pretty run of the mill use of the term. It doesn't mean it's a major cultural trend in a country. I just said it's pretty popular worldwide.

A classic problem to do with hardware overlays. It's also why screenshots of videos sometimes have blacked out video in the screenshot.

'Hardware overlay' is an old video acceleration trick to write processed video straight to the output framebuffer. It bypasses the OS windowing system completely and if you as a developer get it wrong in any way you get video peeking through other apps. Video playing via a hardware overlay' has caused such issues for 30 years now. Not just on xorg or Wayland as you'll sometimes see this on windows too.

Vim is basically IDE at this point, if you configure it well and install plugins.
The main problem with Wayland seems to be that it's trying to fix some real problems such as those you mentioned but its solution is to build the house as a concrete and steel box without doors or windows. It's true that it's a more secure building that way but since it doesn't work as a house any more that doesn't really matter.

> Because there's currently no high-level programming language for writing stateful software that I'm aware of.

Wot? Here is how you handle state in a pure functional language like Haskell:

update : Event -> State -> State

and if you want a return result:

update : Event -> State -> (State, Result)

and if you can't be bothered to type "State" all the time:

Use a state monad (the clue is in the name).

I highly recommend that language designers do a bit of research before making claims about the uniqueness of their new language designs. As far as I can see there isn't a single feature in the language design that hasn't been done already in other languages.
I understand the intention, a vape cartridge without nicotine will always be heathier than one with nicotine, but can we call it "healthy"?

Vape cartridges are notorious for health concerns introduced in their manufacturing relatively lax standards. Is getting "shot once" healthy because it beats getting "shot twice"?

Criticality aside, there are therapists who say that even smoking an imaginary cigarette can help deal with cravings, and so there is absolutely an argument to be made on behalf of placeholders to cigarette smoking.

Most folks globally (and domestically, tbh) probably know Wagon Wheel not from OCMS but from Darius Rucker who sang a cover that made it to #1 on the country charts.
When you're rehearsing a difficult pitch to your manager you expect roadblocks to be thrown up in a particular order. When you realize that you're somewhere doing something that could possibly get you into trouble, you rehearse a much simpler story. Like realizing halfway to your new apartment with the last carload that you put all of your liquor in a box, but that box is not in the trunk (or you don't actually have a trunk because SUV) so technically you have open alcohol in your car, or having to piss like a racehorse driving home from the airport at 2 am because your flight was late and you don't know where anything open is so you're just doing 40 in a 30 the entire way home. These are all things within the normal realm.

And then there's making up a completely fictional person and pretending to be them, after almost no practice. Having never impersonated anyone, I can't tell you much about this, other than what you've all seen on TV. But I do know what it feels like being stuck in a conversation where you don't like where it's going. Was that question innocent, or loaded? What is this bozo going to ask me next, and at what point is he going to compare me to Hitler or Charles Manson? So your brain is trying to unravel the rope that you're pretty sure is being slowly coiled around your neck and hoping you can pull off some verbal judo to duck out of it before it starts to tighten, without coming off like a complete ass to do so.

That sort of dishonest communication usually is in front of an audience, so it matters to the audience that the walls of this jail cell are built in an orderly fashion. If I'm just trying to figure out if you're a drug mule or a cell leader instead of a journeyman jeweler looking for a business relationship then there is no audience, and I can ask the questions in whatever order I feel like it. The audience comes later when I'm testifying against you, and the prosecutor and I can build the story after the fact.
This article is mostly cliche popsci trash that isn’t worth reading. Good for a game of logical fallacy bingo.

The only interesting development seems to be the methodology but that only gets a passing mention.

The rest is basically fearmongering.

> In humans, for example, gut bacteria influence how the immune system responds to pathogens and allergens, or interact with the brain, affecting mood.

Ok. But what does that have to do with diversity? Humans have not been an emotionally rational species at any point in the past. Arguably the relationship between gut biome diversity and civilization is inverse. Maybe we want fewer microbes.

Lifespan has also increased with decreased gut biome diversity.

This is why correlation alone is uninteresting. You can find it anywhere.

> Splitting the difference, people in less developed parts of the world have between 60 and 65 of those bacterial groups, an observation that ties the decrease in microbial diversity to urbanization.

Oh come on. How does a line like this get published? This is fine if you define “ties” as “moves with” but not “is connected to”. IOW correlation doesn’t imply causation.

> Kyle Meyer, a microbiologist at UC Berkeley, argues such losses are not necessarily a problem. “Maybe we don’t need them,” he points out. But Moeller is worried. “We are really doing some scary stuff to our microbiomes,” he warns.

Why is it “scary”? Nothing in this article established any cause for concern.

The guy that developed the methodology is now in search of a problem his solution fits.

Clarification needed: To an Apple computer.

It’s not clear whether Logitech is the only party at fault here. WiMax could be conflicting with BT, and since WiMax is proprietary, the blame for that rests on Apple.
I am just popping up here to say from X10R4 onwards, I have never understood why MIT took a concept we understand around client-server, and completely inverted the meaning for anyone approaching it anew. Here i am connecting to a remote device via a telnet, running an xterm to display "back home". Whats the server? the local thing. Whats the client? the thing I run on the remote host: xterm.

Now step outside X. whats the client? the xterm. Whats the server? the remote host.

Semantic confusion is real folks. "Display server" only partially fixed it because people never remember to vocalise the qualifyer. And then you get Xterminals as physical devices, with "local" clients and now client-server is really really confusing.
That's a terrifyingly toxic comments thread.
This is all correct. To quote from the official description of vim9script:

Vim9 script and legacy Vim script can be mixed. There is no requirement to
rewrite old scripts, they keep working as before. You may want to use a few
:def functions for code that needs to be fast.

So entirely the opposite of the python3 split.
That's the dock I have. Someone else posted a link to a white paper from Intel that mentions this is a USB 3 issue, not one specific to the dock, but it is good to see Caldigit offers the same solution on their site that is mentioned by Intel. That gives me a reasonable amount of confidence that it will work.
From a customer's perspective, it isn't clear that a software taxi driver is in any way better than a human taxi driver, particularly with (human) driver assist preventing collisions and all the other warnings provided by a modern car.

In both cases someone else is driving for the customer. With a human driver (plus driver assist braking and collision warnings) you have the most flexible, sophisticated intelligence on Earth driving. With a robotaxi you have something inferior. But maybe it's a lot cheaper, right?

The robotaxi can only compete on price because that's its only advantage.

If you own a car that drives itself, that's a different story. Everybody can see the value proposition.

We would have to look at the cost of the hardware and maintenance and fallback remote operators and the R&D investment to evaluate whether a robotaxi fleet is indeed cheaper. How much cheaper is it, exactly? 5%? 10%? 15%?

Would you pay a little more to have the most flexible, sophisticated intelligence on Earth (human brain + driver assist) or would you want to save a few dollars and risk having some dumb piece of software strand you in the middle of the road somewhere?

We all use Google Maps or Apple Maps when driving and most of us have seen these systems do boneheaded things. Just imagine the dumb things a robotaxi could do.

It's hard for a normal person to be excited about this. I don't know a single person who is excited by robotaxis.
Looks like they are unionizing and starting a strike
2 and 3 are big problems and are making me consider switch back to Xorg as it's made some stuff impossible to do. Not having stuff like Redshift is also a big bummer and makes me think if the people behind Wayland have any idea how people actually use computers.

My general perception of it is that it has many good design decisions from the point of software architecture and security, but they are too cumbersome to add stuff to Wayland that is absolutely needed for desktops. The result is that people end up finding a way to do that stuff anyway in the implementations and the ecosystem becomes a fragmented mess that somehow works worse than legacy Xorg.

The FAA's got egg on its face from the whole 737-Max situation, the FDA is approving vaccines for under-5 year olds despite no evidence of benefit (and has had a few reviewers resign in protest after the same set of vaccines were approved for other age demographics), I'd bet dollars to donuts that people are going to be mightily unhappy with the Treasury in 6 months, the DOJ has all-but-eliminated the jury trial while providing generally substandard prisons, I've heard many things about the VA but I don't recall a single positive thing, and there's a ton of things that could be said of the DEA/ATF/FBI/DHS gang but very few of them are positive.

Uh huh. From the paper reference:

> The study was carried out amongst a demographically
representative sample of the online population aged
16-64 in the following territories: Argentina, Australia,
Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico,
Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, South Africa,
South Korea, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and
United States. The study was also conducted in China
and India but results from these two countries are not
included in “global” figures due to the size and nature of
these markets. In total, 43,000 internet users were surveyed with
higher numbers of respondents in larger markets.

They literally just surveyed first world users and made no effort to control for class or other confounding factors that influence musical taste. This pretty much only tells us what first-world city-dwellers like, not the world generally. We're no closer to knowing whether country music is truly the most commercially successful music genre worldwide, but neither are we any closer to disproving it.
They're early adopters. Guessing they're worth a lot since you're counting on them.
