They didn't always call themselves Hellenes, at one point the more common names were Achaeans (hence Egyptian "Ekwesh"), Danaans and Argives. The word "Hellenes" is only found once in Homer. Or often people called them by their specific tribe, such as Ionians or Dorians. Some languages use older names because that's what they are used to. It seems that country borders, politics, self-identity etc. change faster than language.
How big do you think Microsoft's threshold is to fuck a competitor over? It sounds like you're saying Microsoft is slow to rouse to malice; I don't think that's how they work.

If they can head off a competitor early for little investment, I believe they will do so - are doing so.
The legal and regulatory structures tend to be significantly different in ways that matter.
I do not want to ever use Microsoft software, why do I need a Microsoft certified key to use my own hardware?

Big question is how do Microsoft get away with this bullying of hardware manufactures, probably the fear of losing business.

What can we do to stop this?
>But most EU countries have pretty strict rules around firing people.

Nope, in Austria employers can fire most people without any reason. Restrictions may apply to vulnerable people like close to retiring age and mass layoffs, but firing one Average Joe who isn't considered vulnerable has no rules or restrictions.

So I think the UK has better job security than some EU countries.
Yeah, don't believe everything you read on the Internet. That list has little to do with actual reality here. You won't see homeless camps of homelesd, almost never see a homeless person and if a homeless person doesn't want to be homeless anymore then they suddenly aren't (I know of precisely one exception to this.)

All that list means is the US vastly under-counts actual homeless people. This is the same well known effect we see in suicide statistics: Sweden just keeps far more accurate statistics.

It's meant to combat that kind of mentality in the minds of the acquisitions specialists directly responsible for contracts. To be clear, it is absolutely the official position of the DoD CIO right now that you should be using off-the-shelf solutions everywhere possible and open-sourcing your own work unless you have a damn good reason not to, usually meaning hiding a classified capability. Otherwise, you need to answer for why you are not. Open source is very much intended to be the default for all new DoD software projects, but we need some way of overcoming the inertia of all the program-level responsible parties who still have the mindset that they need to hide everything and all software should be totally custom for their own narrow purpose.

What the senior leadership is trying to do here is create that alternate universe you want to see. Force anyone using or creating proprietary software to justify why they're doing that.

In theory you can support this search with a suffix tree [1] or n-gram index [2], (but you will need n>3 because your alphabet is small.)

I'm not sure what ready-made tools or libraries you might find for this - last time I checked there were a lot more papers than production-quality open source code.

Or you could always just try a fast RE engine like Hyperscan and see if it is fast enough for your use case.

Interesting point. I think it's supposed to replicate a (relatively uncommon) physical switch behaviour where sliding the switch shows an indicator which indicates the state of the switch (eg: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0560/8085/9187/products/zi...)

This sounds even worse for BMW. Including heated seats hardware for all cars increases the cost for all cars. So even if an owner doesn’t pay for heated seats, their price is still increased because the equipment is there.

Perhaps this cost is very low, but that just reminds me that these options are extremely overpriced and a bit of a rip off.

>> A meta-analysis of several research studies has found differing results for the influence of seasonality on food intake23. We, therefore, analyzed data from a 3-year national nutrition survey of approximately 3,000 people. Using a generalized linear model adjusted for age, we found a significant interaction (P <0.001) between sex and season, revealing that men are markedly affected by solar radiation and its seasonal fluctuation compared to women ...

It's a correlation .. is "markedly affected by solar radiation" a reach when the same correlation exists for tempreture?

Is it the UV or is it that men eat more and more active in the summer than in winter?

Hmmm.
In 2005 my resolution was 1024x768 on a 60(?)Hz screen. That's 2MB per frame. Right now I have 2x 2560x1440 HDR monitors with 144Hz refresh rates hooked up to my machine, with double buffering is 100MB just for screen buffers. I believe it was Windows Vista (apologies I'm not confident in my linux versions) that introduced the DWM compositor, meaning that all of a sudden you need all of the frames of all of the windows in memory x 2.
Quite right, and you’ll find that Chen (the author and interviewee) is not really pointing to the aspect of adaptation as being problematic, more so the ends to which Buddhist practice is being repurposed.

A few relevant excerpts:

> The Dalai Lama was instrumental in advancing the secularization of meditation. For him it was in part a political calculation. He wanted to make Buddhism relevant and useful to the West.

> I think all the teachers had some qualms about being forced to leave the ethical aspects of Buddhism out of the workplace. They were not being hired to make the employees more ethical; they were being hired to make them more productive.

> Interestingly enough, I think that companies have been able to command great self-sacrifice from Americans in a way that no other institution can today. I would argue that companies or workplaces have become the new faith communities that are replacing organized religion.

> But there are downsides to this. We start to organize our selves, communities, and spiritualities around capitalism’s goals of efficiency and productivity, ignoring other possible ethics of justice, kinship, and beauty. Ultimately, companies, which are driven by the bottom line, cannot offer us a “solution” for a flourishing life.

When I think of the startup I left, and which took so much of my life, it’s easy to characterize it as a quasi cult.
We are only now beginning to understand the damage to society technology can cause if there is no basic moral and ethical guidance, and no knowledge of philosophy of technology (should be a required college course, IMO).
I'm currently using Godot 3 for my solo indie project. It's a six-degrees of freedom space shooter. I use rigid bodies and physics very extensively, but what have proved to be very hard-to-remove bottlenecks were the scene tree and scripts.

At some point the game was spending more time on those things that on the physics simulation.

I have rewritten some code in C++ over time and parallelized as much as I can. However I'm starting to think that scripting languages are a false economy. There is no intrinsic reason you can't have a concise and easy to use language that can be quickly (in debug mode) compiled to the metal and dynamically linked to the project.

I might look at godot-rust at some point although It's a bit late considering the amount of code I have written already.

Mass rapes are not 'routine' for most wars. Its an atrocity that is being committed by Russia against Ukraine. Just like how it was an atrocity when other countries mass rapped people.

This war is purely Russias, it is a war of aggression designed to wipe out a cultural, a people, its genocide.

That Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine is unsurprising they already did this before during the USSR with the holodomor.

Russia is solely responsible for this war.

It's lucky that a lot of Europe is happy to sacrifice both its weapons and some of its economy to stop the authoritarian beast just like they did in WW2.
The article doesn't go into depth on alignment but this is another thing to pay attention to with Postgres column ordering. Postgres uses 8 byte alignment and so if you interleave types of different sizes (say a 2-byte smallint between some 8-byte bigints) you may end up with extra padding. This can bloat your tables and potentially reduce performance. It's annoying to have to think about this when in your mind the columns probably have a more meaningful order.
It shows once again how knowing fundamentals is important at more advanced level. There is this overall motion "very wide tables are the future of DWH", but in reality depends on context and how your setup is built.

Very interesting insight.
Why even use Docker in this case? Makes more sense to just run the node directly on the device rather than adding yet another abstraction? You most likely won't run the same image locally as you run on the PI anyways (arm vs amd64 images), so might as well make the dockerfile a shellscript instead, and just use that.
Yeah they care more about authoritative links than how relevant they are to your exact search query these days. I find much better results using Brave Search.

It wasn't languishing, that word implies people knew about it but weren't paying attention or trying to make it work. mRNA based drugs hadn't launched because repeat dosings created serious side effects, as the body seemed to start reacting to the lipid capsule. From an article in 2017:

https://www.statnews.com/2017/01/10/moderna-trouble-mrna/

"for its chemists, those [lipid] nanoparticles created a daunting challenge: Dose too little, and you don’t get enough enzyme to affect the disease; dose too much, and the drug is too toxic for patients."

"the Crigler-Najjar treatment has been indefinitely delayed, an Alexion spokeswoman told STAT. It never proved safe enough to test in humans, according to several former Moderna employees and collaborators who worked closely on the project. Unable to press forward with that technology, Moderna has had to focus instead on developing a handful of vaccines"

Note the following paragraphs:

"mRNA is a tricky technology. Several major pharmaceutical companies have tried and abandoned the idea, struggling to get mRNA into cells without triggering nasty side effects [snip] The indefinite delay on the Crigler-Najjar project signals persistent and troubling safety concerns for any mRNA treatment that needs to be delivered in multiple doses, covering almost everything that isn’t a vaccine"

In 2017 mRNA was considered "tricky" and with "nasty side effects". It was considered safe for vaccines by Moderna only because, they claimed, vaccines don't require repeat doses. This is surprising given that some countries now want to make mRNA vaccination a regular yearly event.

The reason they didn't focus on vaccines originally is related to that belief - vaccines are traditionally something you take once and are then protected for decades or for life. They are cheap and often bought by governments that demand bulk discounts, thus they are poor business compared to drugs that may require you to take them every week.
Those numbers are relatively meaningless when compared as each country counts unemployed people differently.

In Germany if you are unemployed and the unemployment agency sends you to a course, like to learn German, you are no longer part of the unemployment statistic even though you're still receiving welfare.
I find this pervasive idea that "documenting" things is just a thoughtless dump of facts very troublesome.

Certainly, most "documentation" I read is just a thoughtless dunp of arbitrary facts about some system, design, code, or event or what have you. But it should be better.

There are infinitely many true statements to make about some thing in order to document it. The art is in determining which ideas and facts about it are relevant for an audience, and finding a way to express those ideas and/or facts clearly for.that audience, in a logical order, using good prose, diagrams, etc. I think that's as hard as any other writing task, and arguably more valuable than many. Documentation captures facts for record and makes them accessible to some audience who otherwise would not have known about that thing. What could be a more important kind of knowledge work than that?
> commercial proprietary software is the "normal" path and we need all these justifications / answers for OSS

When you purchase commercial proprietary software (especially, I think, on the DoD scale) you purchase commercial support and put liability and responsibility on some other entity. If you use open-source software, you only just get the code without any guarantees.

As much as I love using open-source dependencies as a developer, I completely understand why a company or a government agency prefer the proprietary path.
This was at least partially a result of lack of currency reserve. Sri Lanka is reliant on those to import fertilizer and pesticides, and the idea of 'organic' farming was a convenient way to phrase 'we can't afford to buy on the international markets anymore'.
.toUpper() is a quick and mostly effective way to normalise strings for comparison if you're not sure what case the two strings to compare are in (eg: one has been input by a user). Yes, it's a shortcut, and occasionally you'll end up with a miss, but it's good enough to work 99% of the time, and the alternative is a LOT of code and data changes to handle a very small proportion of cases.

> A person under 18 cannot legally consent to that

That's a bizarre way of putting it, isn't it? It's not as if the person under 18 would be committing an offence by giving consent, and the consent would still be valid for defending against an accusation of rape (as far as I know; see the Sexual Offences Act 2003).

There are many varieties of Buddhism. It is a mixture of eastern culture and knowledge in general, including many generations of empirical psychotherapy, religion, philosophy, etc. Some varieties of Buddhism, like some schools of Zen, do focus heavily (or entirely) on meditation practice. Scientific research suggests that meditation has a real effect on the brain.

To me it seems completely rational and expected that the west would be drawn to the varieties that don't carry as much religious dogma because that is more incompatible with western thought. Of course we can take some aspects from it which we find useful. So I don't find it weird at all.

Despite this, I still absolutely think that 'mindfulness' is often becoming bastardised and a lot of the value is being lost in the process of translation. People will of course try to take advantage of it and try to profit from it.

Your comment also makes me imagine picking a random barely religious American that never goes to church and using them as a model for 'real Christianity'

There is a practice called “warm capitalism” or some term like that and the essence is that you not go for the lowest bidder, but for the one having the best values (say most environmentally friendly) which in turn creates interest in being more environmentally friendly. But it could also be other values like social equality and so on.

My problem with the position of the "MS is bad" crowd here is that the security reasons are outright dismissed. It's even in the article:

> The second is that this is predicated on the idea that removing the third-party bootloaders and drivers removes all the vulnerabilities. In fact, there's been rather a lot of vulnerabilities in the Windows bootloader. A broad enough vulnerability in the Windows bootloader is arguably a lot worse than a vulnerability in a third-party loader, since it won't change the PCR 7 measurements and the system will boot happily. Removing trust in the third-party CA does nothing to protect against this.

Why is it 'all'? Why not 'some' vulnerabilities? Because then it's rather obvious that having one less bootloader allowed by default means less potential for vulnerabilities. And then the whole point breaks down.
Realistically, once he receives assurances from the Home Office that no action will be taken, that is the end of the matter, and it would be legally problematic for a subsequent government to reverse that.
Who have what?

Did they become wealthy, end of story? Saving up money to be wealthy, without the rest of the context, is reasonably common.

If they either needed to specifically curate their lottery habits to become wealthy, or if they failed to become wealthy because of their lottery habits, then I'm interested. Because that's the part that I'm betting is quite rare. And it's also the part that needs to be pretty common if the message is supposed to work as a lottery-relevant message.
Even ignoring facetious examples like "your passport" or "the deed to your house", this is terrible advice.

Just in the last month I used some sandpaper that had sat in a box for several years, pulled a ten year old DVD off a shelf and watched it, re-read a book from my childhood and connected an obscure audio adaptor that had been untouched for at least five years.

Earlier this year I played games on two different games consoles from previous decades and reactivated a Raspberry Pi from a previous project into a new one. I pruned a tree and dug a flower bed with some tools that were recovered from a grandparent's house after sitting untouched for well over a year.

If everything in your house that's more than a year old is worthless, maybe you're just buying things which are worthless from the beginning.

It's true that the older and more famous a placename, the more likely it is to have different forms in neighboring languages. All languages evolve phonetically, and during the course of this evolution, the pronunciation of all words changes (independently in every language), including (especially) toponyms which were borrowed 500-1000 years ago. It's a sad misconception that if a toponym is pronounced differently, then it means it's "butchered". I think it's part of our common history and it should be embraced, not erased.
