I'd fund it if I could use it to actually ship something and make money. I've donated to other software projects. If, say, for several thousand bucks they'd actually give me a tiny bit of support by fixing bugs in the "stable" branch that affect me then I'd pay up. At this point though if I want to actually ship using open source I find I can actually get things done faster using SDL2. Because SDL2 is a minimal layer over native if there is an issue I can actually figure out what native calls are happening in what order. If controller inputs are wonky or textures are the wrong color I can figure out why. Godot does try to use an understandability friendly subset of C++ (no template metaprogramming and such) but it is still too sophisticated for me to quickly dive in and understand how it all works; and it is certainly too complicated for its core maintainers to be able to quickly dive in and fix longstanding open issues in "stable".
here in germany the freikörperkultur was well established in the 19th century. Even more so, for most of human history, bathing nude was the norm. Prior to the 19th century there was no such thing as a Freikörperkultur, because there was no such thing as bathing cloth. The Lebensreform, or "naturalism" as the english speakers call it, was a reaction to the industrial revolutions disruption of natural human behavior, bathing, food, family, community and culture and has little to nothing to do with WW2, except that the nazis tried to suppress it as part of the gleichschaltung. As such it obviously rekindled after WW2, but it is not a post war phenomenon and it is most certainly not moral degradation. The very claim is deeply insulting. Please take your false testament about other peoples cultures history and kindly go away.
> it's no longer the pure and innocent enjoyment I would have had prior to knowing how personally hurtful he could be.

All you crave is ignorance. The reality is that everyone has personal failings of some kind. All the bridges, all the books, all the artworks were made by imperfect people that were sometimes assholes.
First, we need to dispense with rhetoric like 'this is a dangerous path'. I fully understand that tribes are different and people disagree and in particular, that 'tribes' are ruled by people who may not actually be in charge, may not reflect their tribe's real viewpoint, or may have ulterior motives.

However, it is equally dangerous to go down the path of 'Canada did this to massacre the tribes and eradicate their culture while no tribe wanted this'. This is also not the case. In certain cases, the tribes did have well defined boundaries, and leadership, and the leadership negotiated for many other concessions successfully, but didn't so much as put up a fuss about the schools.

> We absolutely have accounts of children being forceably abducted from parents and abuses happening at these schools

I believe I literally acknowledged such atrocities in my post above. Moreover, as I again stated, I understand that a tribe's leaders may not have the tribe's best interests at heart. It is actually possible, and still a regular occurrence today, for one's government to make decisions that are incredibly hurtful to individual citizens.

Other allegations against the government are also overstated. I didn't mention them above. One obvious example is the claim siblings were separated. This is actually unevidenced. The most evidence the TRC could produce was that brothers and sisters were sent to sex segregated schools or dorms. Uh... this is a good thing. If sexual abuse is what you're trying to prevent having girls in the same housing with boys, etc, is going to be extremely toxic.

I am in no way excusing Canada's actions. I am merely putting them into context. These are salient facts ignored from the debate for fear they may not make the tribes as sympathetic a target. Why? If the case is so strong for the abuses taking place (and I believe there was certainly abuse taking place that ought to be investigated), what is the point of ignoring salient information?

EDIT: Oh also I'm not referring to hundreds of thousands of compacts. I am referring to the numbered treaties, which refer to 11 treaties signed between Canada and the native tribes of various regions.
Wait, the article is silent on the cause of death. Are you saying these deaths were just the result of some disease? Everything in the media treatment of these deaths implies mistreatment of the kids. If it was just a virus, particularly in the early days of medicine, this would be a scandal created out of thin air.

Developer Relations Compensation Report
Today, we published the first ever Developer Relations Compensation Report.

It was a labor of love and trust with everyone in the DevRel and Dev Advocacy community—so many builders lent us their experiences (147 of them!) so we could create this report.

It's our hope that, with it as a community resource, every DevRel builder will feel more informed, confident, and empowered when they enter their next compensation conversation.

Five key stats we highlight in the findings:

1. Median gross total compensation: $180,000 USD equivalent, pre-tax, across all DevRel professionals globally.

2. Industry that pays the highest DevRel salaries: Cloud Infrastructure.

3. Top four roles and responsibilities in DevRel: Creating educational content and resources, delivering in-person talks and workshops, building brand awareness and affinity, and building and managing community programs.

4. Gender and racial identification: The majority of DevRel professionals identify as male and white.

5. Previous experience dependencies: Developer Relations professionals with previous experience in software engineering earn 26.3% higher median salaries than those without.

For deeper details, read the full report. It's available to everyone for free. To connect with 1000+ DevRel and community leaders, join Common Room's Uncommon community Slack: https://commonroom.io/join-slack
Don't get too dizzy from all that spinning around.

So do you really believe everyone in Canada read that and thought "Oh, they're using the word in a figurative sense! Never mind."

If something is, by definition, in the earth and a story says it was "unearthed" it's sorta reasonable to believe it was dug up.
It seems to me that this one code enforcer is wasting the city's money by spending his time writing citations that aren't based on a complaint. He seems to have a vendetta against this one homeowner. I think he should be fired.
I have similar boot times on arch/systemd with efistub too, and with some basic optimization I get to sub 5s. At least for ubuntu there is a large layer of crap (snap, etc) that keeps it from being performant, and for other distros I'm guessing they have their own choices of what blocks the graphical target.

really interesting point about hypersonics and plasmas. Developments in aviation have trickled down and led to other developments in technology—tons of work in modern control theory, material sciences, and aerodynamics was originally motivated by trying to build a better plane. I’d be surprised if we didn’t learn a few very practical things about plasmas while working on hypersonic weapons

You’d be hard pushed to drive Penzance to Exeter in 1hr30, more like 2 hours really. And whilst the train is slow the journey is lovely along the Exe estuary and then along the coast. Having said that it is a bit silly that when going from London to Penzance most of the time is spent on the final third of the journey past Exeter.
I initially had some problems, then I've written an emacs package[1] to fix all of them. And it's due to the course of writing this package made me realize just how bad pre-commit is from its UX, design to its entire premise.

Five hours, I assume, is the maximum amount of time an average person can enjoy sitting in a train. With overnight trains making a comeback, there are much more possibilities. I recently enjoyed falling asleep in Central Europe and waking up over the Alps near the sea. Trains are amazing.
> As a side note, I don't think I ever ran into a syntax error for a system configuration file, because I couldn't figure out the format

I remember struggling to get some open source VPN package to work right. I swear I've read through the manuals three or four times but it just wouldn't work and the error messages were meaningless. I know most of the obscure formats now out of experience, but it's still not great. DNS BIND configuration and zones (and the accompanying AppArmor configuration) also caused me more trouble than necessary. Configuring and debugging inetd configuration was also something I never hope to do again.

> Well there is "man fstab", "man 5 cron" etc

Of course there is, but those aren't exactly light reading. It's not that the formats are difficult to find, it's that there's no consistency to the formats themselves with nameless columns that you need to figure out by reading several paragraphs of text.

> Which program saves configuration inside ~.local? I'm not aware of any and they generally should not. Also adding adding snap to that list is a bit besides the point, I don't think containers typically save their configuration in the registry either?

In my ~/.local/etc I see fish and bash_completion.d, for example. I don't know what programs created those, but they're there. I see some PipeWire files in ~/.local/state. ~/.local/share contains many files ending in ".conf" (most of them Flatpak, but also Kodi and GnuPG). I prefer them stuffing their config in .local rather than ignoring XDG, though. IMO Snap fits the list perfectly because it's not sold as "containers", it's sold as an "app store" even though it's focused on GUI containers. And I'm still mad about Snap not even bothering to use a capital letter in their home directory name.

I like dconf in that most settings are actually documented in context. They're searchable, use a standard format, and have structure. The ability to distinguish default values from custom settings is also very nice. IMO it's the Windows Registry but with a good editor and an even worse API.

> So how do you know what registry keys to change to achieve a certain configuration

Most of the time, I can use the find tool to find exactly what I need in the registry. I barely need to touch it anyway since most Windows settings are configurable from the GUI. Sure, it's certainly not the best config management system, but it's design is much better than the hodgepodge of configuration files unrelated systems use.

I admit that on disk, the Windows registry format is atrocious. However, the concept of a single, unified, backuppable, remotely manageable configuration system is just much better than "let's stuff some files in /etc and let people find out by making them go through our docs". I don't know where to look for config files on Linux, on most Windows tools I at least know what program I need to open to edit the configuration. I'd like DConf or at least XDG to get used more often because IMO the Linux ecosystem is the worst of two options.

Thank you for the link! I briefly skimmed the content and my experience was quite normal for website. Maybe load time was suboptimal couple of times, but it should be improved by CDN. It is much easier to just click the link and get to the the content momentarily, without the need to download and install app (thinking in process: is it too big? Why it should be that big?) and occasional "login with X" stage. It could even be a classic website, without PWA, using server-side rendering (good for search engines too, giving you free organic traffic).
There are dangerous precedents that some groups, like procrastinators, learn about but other people seem to have to learn much more slowly.

If you insist on treating every interaction as if it happens in a vacuum and for both parties to see the events as isolated, you're gonna have a bad time. If you are chronically late for work nobody cares if your transmission exploded on the way into work and that's why you were legitimately an hour late. You've already played that card on previous encounters and you've used up all of your credits.

If two groups have a history of horrible interactions with each other, people are going to assume the latest incident is just true to form, even if it really was just a misunderstanding and a bad game of telephone. Because of course Group B pulled some shit again. They 'always' do. Trying to find someone's boundaries and living your life right on the edge of them is just a slower version of "fuck around and find out."

I learned recently that there are actually businesses that cater to the demographic of boomers whose children won't speak to them anymore. Like entrepreneurs are making business plans and incorporating to take money from these people. The stories I know are all about how they realized that their parents weren't even going to meet some fairly low bar set by the kids, and they thought their children were bluffing. You push and push and you'll be making your own retirement home arrangements, all the while repeating some narrative about how it was about pronouns or people of color.
The Q2 GDP estimate came out on Thursday. Nobody said we weren't in a recession following that, only that the current economy is not like past recessions. If you try following the news, you might be less confused.
> Physical servers tend to have extreme uptimes,

And that might be a bug, not a feature.

If you are running on physical servers you’re likely to be overprovisioning, at least a bit, to be able to absorb peak load.

But most of the time you’re not running at peak load.

If you can scale your workloads up and down, via containers or anything else, you have excess capacity being wasted. Basically you have servers turned on and doing nothing but waste electricity.

In that context you might want to just turn off servers and turn them back on when needed.

And in that context you want servers to boot quickly.

> Are self-replicating RNA sequences more common than we believe?

Almost certainly yes.

> If so, why haven't we encountered more of them in nature?

Because they can't compete with modern life. Nearly all of the biomass on earth is in use. A primitive replicator, even if it arose today, would have to compete for resources against all the existing life on earth. It wouldn't stand a chance. This is the reason there is only one universal common ancestor. It's not necessarily that abiogenesis only happened once, it's that only the descendants of one common ancestor survive today. All traces of all other abiogenesis events have been obliterated.

You have to compute the abiogenesis odds for an environment that, by definition, does not yet include life. Here is a rough back-of-the-envelope approximation: the biomass of earth is about 2^52kg. Avogadro's number is 2^76. So there is the potential for the early earth to have 2^120 nucleotide bases and amino acid molecules floating around. If the complexity of a simple replicator is around O(100) bits then the odds of finding one by chance when you are rolling that many dice in parallel approaches 1 in just a few million years. After that, evolution takes over.

Fair enough! I don't know the exact formats and their history, all of that was developed long before I started really using Linux.

Either way, when I edited the files for the first time, it's like "oh, it's like TOML but...". They're not necessarily bad, though nesting of configuration groups isn't always as obvious. I suppose these are part of the evolution of Linux config file design!
McElroy is a specific name that originated in two small geographical regions with tightly tied genetics and the two Justins bear a strong resemblance.

Most Scotch-Irish people in Canada are related in some way because the initial colonizing wave was quite small. The podcasters are from Milwaukee which shares a border with Canada, is near Canada's most populous city, and was largely settled in that same small wave.

Asserting that they're "no relation" would be quite a stretch.
Taking into account metro and RER rides should fix this issue I think.
I can provide part of the answer for libraries, but my memory is sketchy. I worked in a major university (U.S.) library in the 1970s. Each book had a paper card in a sleeve glued into the inside back cover (or was it the front? doesn't matter). The card had the author, title, and filing number (Library of Congress system) and some indication if it was one of several copies in the collection. (These were mirrored by an identical card in the main card catalog).

When a student or faculty member checked out the book, we had a photocopy machine that recorded the book card info and the user's photo ID. The current date was on there too. The photocopy output was maybe 3-in by 8-in (not full size sheet) and was on a stiff type of paper. I distinctly remember using a manual sorting device at the end of the day to alphabetize the photocopies -- it was a narrow board maybe 2-ft long, with plastic flaps for the letters of the alphabet, so one could easily slide the photocopies under the correct letter of the alphabet (by author last name, as I recall).

So, if someone could not find a book on the shelf, it was fairly easy to find who had it checked out and send them a recall notice, if they had checked it out sufficiently long ago. I do not recall whether or how routine overdue notices were sent (maybe there was a policy that you could keep the book out until recalled or the end of the current term, whichever came first -- renewals were also possible).

I wish I could remember more details. I spent more time working in the stacks area (supervising the re-shelving of returned books) than at the circulation desk.

I was also there when the first pass at computerization was done - we had to manually affix barcodes to every book as it was re-shelved, with the same barcode on the card in the book, for adding to the database. Once books were barcoded, the circulation became computerized, as I believe the user IDs also had barcodes -- no more photocopies and no more manual alphabetizing. This was pretty novel at the time, we even had T-shirts made with a large barcode symbol as the graphic on the T-shirt, I don't remember if it had a funny caption or not.
Beijing to Hongkong is about 2,450km and takes 9h by high speed train, which is more than 270km/h average as there are a few stops along the way. I believe that the advertised speed is about 350km/h.
Well, yes. New Yorkers and Californians see the rest of the country as useless, and most don't bother to learn that entire cities exist outside of their coastal regions.

For example "Give the cookies and brownies to Angie and Bob" could mean both Angie and Bob get both cookies and brownies. "Give the cookies and brownies to Angie and Bob, respectively" clarifies that the cookies go to Angie, and the brownies go to Bob.
The Alaska Panhandle (the part of Alaska that extends down the west coast of BC) and the coast of BC are actually roughly equal length (BC's coast is slightly longer, I believe). You are probably looking at a Mercator projection which distorts sizes. Try looking at a more accurate map projection.

Businesses generally are allowed to depreciate automobiles over five years, and you might guess it is because they get a fairly high amount of use.

That changes the capital costs.

.04 gallons per mile, gas alone is lately above 0.16 cents a mile. At $5, that would be 0.20 cents.

Generously (on the thrifty side) estimating, at minimum, capital, insurance and maintenance doubles cost of gasoline alone.

My library had a million or more books as I recall, on seven floors total. A typical community library would be a tiny fraction of that, so systems for small local libraries may have been more simple, and more labor intensive.
Trump biggest drama is that his economic policies were sure winners, he should have trusted them to propel him to re-election instead of whatever he did with constant displays of his flawed character.

He is such a baby, doesn't understand that once you win the election and become POTUS attacks from media and opposite party don't matter anymore. The only things that matters is that you are POTUS and they aren't. End of the story, it's the only thing that matters. QB vs armchair QB, Heavyweight champion vs emerging shit talker who is at least 10 wins away from getting a shot at the belt.

The entire apparatus of the world's most powerful and richest country is geared toward making sure POTUS is the very last man on Earth if it comes down to that.

Baby couldn't find happiness in all of that and had to silence and shame critics, his character cost him the 2nd term. He lost it because he had to shame armchair QBs and irrelevant fighters.
