Human societies have not often been good at de-escalating generational sectarian violence. This appears to be an example which is working. As much as you and many others quite understandably resent it, each new generation is hopefully going to have less and less to forgive.
Informed about what? The vast majority of news articles are factual, it's more subtle than you suggest.
Yeah, going from Frankfurt with the ICE is almost like taking the taking the bus around the corner. They definitely did something right there
That's not true though. The majority of NI wanted to remain part of the UK. There was a large segment of the NI population that wanted to become part of Ireland, but that was still the minority. It is absolutely false to say that NI is not part of the UK - a statement the Irish government agrees with - or that the only British were the army/ruc if we're using a definition of British == wants NI to remain part of the UK.

Maybe what is wanted by the majority in NO is different now - 20+ years is obviously a long time, and society can change so maybe they no longer wish the connection. The Good Friday agreement acknowledges that possibility and explicitly states that if the majority of NI wish to become part of Ireland then the UK is required to accept that choice.

Now, to the awful things that happened: Do I think that members of the RUC who killed civilians should have ended up in jail? of course. But I think the same thing about members of the IRA.

Finally: no I don't know what it is like to live with the "other side", but I am sure that there are many of the "other side" who lost friends and family, and also had to accept the Good Friday agreement despite their loss.
Hey that's a good idea. Thanks! I'll add it, along with an Oxford comma.

I live in Prague, in central Europe. During winter and autumn months the sun goes down around 16:00. People who work normal 9-to-5 hours essentially don't get any sunlight outside. Waking up in the morning in darkness sucks, leaving office in darkness sucks even more.

I'd welcome some sort of automated, artificial light source at my home office during those five months.

Germany desperately needs to electrify more. The trip from Zürich to Munich took an extra 30 minutes because locomotives had to be switched for the non-electrified part of the track in Germany.[1]

The problem they'll have is more and more TLDs are colluding with ICANN's, and Handshake chose to sell "TLDs", plus it is a proof of work blockchain.

Dappy has a .d scoping at the top to avoid collisions, POS blockchain behind it, a co-resolution system (IP addresses and root certificates are always co-resolved), and it allows multi-ownership of names.

At one point I realized that whenever I went on vacation I took pictures of wherever I went: Germany, France, Sweden, Costa Rica, Texas, Florida, etc.

But then I realized most of the "traveling" that I do is the different places that I go on my computer. If I'm going to take photos when I travel, I should also be taking screenshots constantly, to document places I went on my computer. Such screenshots are useful because they will capture:

1. the large number of websites that exist in a particular year, but which won't exist 5 years later

2. minor interests I have one year that I don't have later. Occasionally I'm curious when I first got into a particular interest, and seeing the screenshots is helpful for documenting that.

When I go back to the oldest entries of my weblog, from 2005, I notice that more than 80% of the links are now 404. The Web is constantly disappearing. Like a forest on its way to extinction, you might as well photograph it now, because it won't be there 10 years later. Most of the websites you visit, you cannot go back and visit them a few years later. Take a photo of them while they still exist.
This would be more helpful and lead to a more interesting discussion if you could tell us what you didn't like about SourceHut's UI.

> Sorry, but Electron is amazing if the alternative is "nothing".

The alternative isn't nothing. The alternative is either Java, Qt, Gnome, Slint, rolling your own, doing per OS UI, etc.

People don't want to roll their own (understandable) or don't mind paying performance tax for stuff they don't need.

I don't use WebStorm but yeah a browser (VSCode) is better at rendering JS than a Java IDE (IntelliJ). Ofc a browser will have an advantage on home turf.

That said quality differs, but honestly try debugging Rust in VSCode vs CLion. Worlds of difference. Even if CLion isn't the best Rust plugin. Or Java in VSCode vs IntelliJ.

> We started this discussion by saying "it would be awesome if X existed" to which you said "100% disagree".

Your idea is a generic game editor vs something specific like Warcraft 3 editor, I made an analogy between something like LSP vs more integrated stuff like IntelliJ.

And I showed you what you leave if you make LSP primary focus, there are going to be some use cases that won't work in generic case, that a more specific IDE (or Rappid Application Deveploer env) would work with.

This is very unfair to namecheap:

1. The search bar on their homepage returns no handbrake results

2. To get to those results in the first place you have to click on a 'Handbrake' tab (leaving the 'Domains' tab)

3. The search results link to an info page that clearly states "It's also important to note that handshake domains do not resolve in regular browsers without additional setup."

For the record, I think Handbrake is a doomed project and a bad investment for Namecheap, but I don't think that means we can just accuse Namecheap of "forcing it down the throats of people".

For pure scientific debates, I'm all for inviting any scientist with some amount of credentials to the table.

But for public policy debates, I think the track record is exactly the opposite: for every major public policy issue that required scientific knowledge, inviting the reactionary types dug out by the sleazy PR industry has done a dis-service to the public. We've seen this with tabacco, with led, and with global warming in just the last century.
> but oh man sometimes an instantaneous interface is important.

That can indeed be a flow breaker, however, in my experience, it's not necessarily an email issue, but Debian's in this case, since sending stuff to lists.sr.ht is pretty snappy (like a couple of seconds after the client sends it). It isn't as fast and instantaneous as your typical web UI yet it's not a flow breaker either, imo, though YMMV.
I was a journalist. The intent here, is reasonable. Whenever you wrote an article with person A claiming a thing, the editor would ask you to 'stand it up'. That involved checking the claim's validity by finding supportive and contrary sources and talking to them. The intent was to then produce a balanced, authorative synthesis.

Unfortunately, with things like climate change, the result tends to be 'false balance'. The BBC recognised this several years ago - but too late.
I cannot speak for the people responsible for drafting those treaties, but it appears to have been a timely effort to apply multi-lateral pressure against proliferation. Put another way: for some nations to pull up the ladder. Not long-term thinking perhaps, but medium term at least.

In the longer term, who could have known then or even cared how to maintain the transition to a no-test regime? What the treaties' drafters might have been thinking is now moot. Those people are long gone, it's your problem now.
Indeed, ROS set out to create an ecosystem of reusable robot software infrastructure, but a monoculture has grown instead.

I started building a ROS alternative called Mech (see my profile) after becoming frustrated with ROS. It’s getting there but not ready for prime time yet.

To answer the sibling comment, my biggest problem with ROS is how inscrutable it is for undergrads. I’ve witnessed students struggle to even install it while following directions step by step. It is a huge mess of incidental complexity, layering the complexity of C++ build systems on top of an IPC system on top of an expansive middleware.

The learning curve is so high that when I spend a semester teaching robotics, students still struggle with ROS basics at midterms. The course turns into more about learning ROS rather than learning actual robotics.

I’m hoping one day Mech will work along side and in conjunction with ROS to provide an easier way of doing things for those who want to get right to the heart of robotics.
> Airport line causes me always the stress since I am not sure if I am in the right part of the train or I will go to Freising

That is usually apparent IMO, what do you find stressful? Having trains that split is quite common in my experience.

> It makes public transportation completely unreliable since the city is heavily overcrowded already.

That's very true. And with the 9-euro tickets, rush hours are a nightmare (and it is extremely hot these days).

> Let’s face the true, Germany lost grip on infrastructure projects.

I'm afraid that's very true as well. Coming from Italy, I expected big things from Germany, but HST is way better in Italy, to my surprise.

On a brighter note, it seems that in the last years they are accelerating on infrastructure again, both local and national. It will take years, if not decades, to see the results. However, as the says goes, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.”
I love minimalistic javascript-free UIs and that sourcehut is fast (and under AGPL).

Yet I find the layout in Sourcehut really confusing and not self-explanatory.

Not having a bugtracker UI and having to jump around different FQDNs related to the same project is a usability killer for me.

I don't expect forges to copy github. E.g. trac is very different but still has a rational and friendly layout.

EDIT: I also like that codeberg.org is non-profit and community-driven. If the sourcehut UI was to become usable I wish codeberg would run an instance of sourcehut.

Another aspect I would love to see is federation.
Thanks for sharing this, I’m not an expert on the subject but I’m curious about it and, skimming through the document, it seems to touch many different aspects of it.

I also appreciate the amount of graphs and links, and the direct and clear language you used.

Spot on assessment of “The History of Jazz” (just finished it myself). It’s probably more of a reference book than anything else.

I've seen this idea elsewhere, but for latitudes like NZ it makes sense to tilt panels in a way that it optimises for winter & morning/evening sun.

Also wonder how much kWh batteries one would need for winter heating (generate at day, use at evening). Kinda feel NZ, especially north island should have enough. Over in Eastern Europe you can get recycled batteries for $150/kWh!
You have to remember that in a professional setting, the alternatives to ROS are atrocious pieces of crap like LabVIEW.

From there, ROS is a step up! Both are programming environments designed by mechanical engineers, who care more about making easy problems really easy than making hard cases any better (after all, to a mechanical engineer, hard programming problems are really hard on their own).

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken a lot of the tracks for the french TGV and also the japanese Shinkansen (literally means new main line) are separated from the tracks for slower trains like cargo and regional. But whenever I see the protests of people when there are plans for new tracks I start doubting that I'll ever see a fully separated high speed rail network.

I clearly do. Hitler killed millions of people, not unlike the Black Death or Genghis Khan, but what can you do, life goes on. Climate change is different. Life will absolutely not go on if we don't start handling it.

As the pace of large-scale commercial deployment of 5G accelerates, the number of new 5G base stations will increase day by day, as well as the demand of 25G optical transceivers. So how do you use 25G optical transceivers in 5G networks?
> You know precisely that Linux and FreeBSD both depend upon GNU utilities.

I'm reasonably sure FreeBSD, being a BSD, depends upon BSD utilities rather than GNU utilities (unless you're running some distro of GNU/kFreeBSD, but in that case your soul is already probably too thoroughly damned to warrant further comment).
> That's the "great" thing about the old Intercity trains from the 80s (some carriages are even from the 60s, being initially used in Trans Europe Express Trains[1]): They don't have this feature.

The limiting factor is breaking. The PZB train safety system require that you get down from 160 km/h to zero within 1000 meters. For trains that do not have the break hundredths to make this, the maximum speed needs to be reduced. Freight trains usually have a maximum speed of 100 km/h or lower. Or, for passenger trains with varying amounts of mass, impose a mass limit.

Better brakes are difficult because the friction points between the wheels and the tracks are small. The french have approaches on this.

LZB and ECTS help by giving the conductor in-cab information about oncoming signals, but installation on the tracks has been sluggish. IIRC ETCS is mandated to replace LZB, but ETCS is quite expensive.
I actually rode a local museum steam railway this weekend where 6 of 8 staff members were children aged 10 to 15-ish - the driver and head conductor were adults.

They seemed to do their tasks quite well. And they took them dead serius. Felt kinda strange having a 10yo in uniform with a serius face marking your ticket.

> The BBC as a public broadcaster isn't in the business of hosting contrarians

In the past, the BBC certainly has been in the business of "hosting contrarians", though perhaps with the misguided intention of providing balance rather than attracting viewers.

For example, OFCOM found them to have broken broadcasting standards by allowing Lord Lawson (a well-known climate change denialist) to make false statements on the Today Program [1, 2] without being challenged or corrected. This happened despite a complaint being upheld about a previous appearance of the same guest on the same program [3].

Would a RAM disk fit the bill? Just read all the contents from the copy in non-volatile storage at boot. Cross-platform then by virtue of using what-ever RAM-based filesystem or block-device options are commonly available on the target OS.

For “as fast as possible” you'll need to experiment and benchmark with your workload. Which filesystem is optimal may depend on how you are laying out the data and where the latency/throughput sensitivities are in your use case and the given filesystems.

> My prime concern is having an api such as...

Having a different API other than it looking like a filesystem would make cross-platform more of a concern, as you then have a data access library not a general filesystem. It will likely to be necessary for best performance though: any filesystem is going to have significant overheads (orders of magnitude) compared to being able to map chunks of the data directly into your process' address space.

If abandoning a generic filesystem, perhaps something like sqlite with an in-memory table/db (https://www.sqlite.org/inmemorydb.html)? Again like the ramdisk option just load up the content from permanent storage on first use.
