>>it was as fair as one can hope for -

I dont think when you have governors of various states in real time changing election rules, and regulations under "emergency" powers can be considered "fair it one can hope"

Also contrary to to democrat talking points there have been successful legal challenges to those election regulation modifications done by governors or election boards.

2020 election was unusual for a variety of reasons not just COVID, and it should not be controversial to say we need to look at all of the changes, emergency orders, and other activities that were happening to ensure everything was handled correct, something I don't think many on "the left" want to even acknowledge

>>while the NYT has made many egregious mistakes (supporting the Iraq war being a biggie), I still trust them as a news source more than Fox

Most likely because your personal bias leans in the same direction as NYT, so you are looking for confirmation of your worldview which NYT, most of the time, provides you.

>>And yet all of you on the right happily lap it up

I am not on the right, nor do I watch fox news ( or CNN or MSNBC or NYT), I get most of my news from varied sources (my RSS feed is currently following over 250 feeds) i also love the GroundNews App / Website.

Ideologically I am a homeless nomad, and reject all political parties, I would love a system where political parties are completely banned. Individualism is my preferred state

> How might OER creation be restructured to work better? [...] support for easily combining patch-sets [...]

I think bringing in some of the tools and workflows from open source software development could go a long way. Many OER authors already publish their books on github, and use github issues to receive feedback (and sometimes even PRs).

Unfortunately, many of the teachers (and students) are not technically proficient (at least not enough to know about git, github, and PRs) so that is probably the current limiting factor. I've thought a lot about this, and one of my best ideas for a possible solution was to create a simplified-git where the command names match the domain terminology (save, share, publish, suggestedits, etc.). You can see a sketch of that idea here: https://minireference.com/blog/git-for-authors/

I totally agree in general, if there were tools around OER creation and updates, the OER books will be able to improve much faster than any commercial textbook, and with print-on-demand students would be getting the latest edition with all the fixes each year for something like $20-$30 in print, and free eBooks online.

I would be careful about auto-closing issues after a year. It's quite possible that some issues are genuine but for various reasons (time required, difficulty of the problem, etc...) people might not do anything about it right away. You can check the feature requests or bugs databases for large projects like Firefox or WebKit for example and find plenty of entries that are several years old yet those entries often still have comments being made which shows that at least some people care about them.

“ Some incidents are so baffling, they almost sound made up. Perhaps one of the most extraordinary occurred when a training exercise on the USS Ticonderoga went badly wrong in 1965. An A4E Skyhawk was being rolled to a plane elevator, while loaded with a B-43 nuclear bomb. It was a disaster in slow-motion – the crew on deck quickly realised that the plane was about to fall off, and waved for the pilot to apply the brakes. Tragically, he didn't see them, and the young lieutenant, plane and weapon vanished into the Philippine Sea. They're still there to this day, under 16,000 ft (4,900 m) of water near a Japanese island.”

Hey, just a heads up (won't be a problem for most people Goolging git) but on mobile (Firefox) the code blocks are almost unreadable because they're so small.
These days it might be better to teach new users about ‘git switch’ and ‘git restore’ (added in Git 2.23, released 2019-08-16) rather than the two overloaded meanings of the confusing ‘git checkout’ command.

You are correct, and everyone is talking past you. The issue of funding the library is orthogonal to what the library then does with the funding. In the United States, government serves the People, not the other way around, and it's been this way since the US won independence. If the People in a specific legal incorporation do not wish to fund government, then they don't have to. The whys don't actually matter at all.

The orthogonal issue is what people who are on the government payroll then do with their tax-money-based salaries. Being government employees, they are subject to the US Constitution and its views on right to free speech, religion, etc.
For whatever reason, it's not paywalled for me. The metrics are:

>For their paper, Glowacki and his collaborators measured the emotional response Isness-D elicited in 75 participants. They based their measurements on four metrics used in psychedelics research—the MEQ30 (a mystical experience questionnaire), the ego dissolution inventory scale, the “communitas” scale, and the “inclusion of community in self” scale. Communitas is defined as an experience of intense shared humanity that transcends social structure. Participants’ responses were then compared with those given in published, double-blind psychedelics studies.

Additionally, monads, applicatives, and functors with currying and without currying will look very different. In a language that differentiates between single variable functions and a multivariate functions, even functors are weirder.

Haskell simplifies this all by just currying everything so that a function of two variables looks like a single variable function. Then you just have to define “applicative” and you get fmap that can apply to functions of any arity.

In python, by contrast, any equivalent definition of Applicative would be super non-idiomatic. On the other hand, you could write a very idiomatic ApplicativeOfTwoVariables or ApplicativeOfThreeVariables and so on.

The difference between programming with curried and non-curried functions runs really really deep, and I don’t think we’ve found the right abstractions yet that makes functor/applicative/monad analogs actually simplify developers’ lives in uncurried languages.
I agree that BSD coreutils are extremely feature poor (e.g. no PCRE in grep) and have some odd syntax choices as you point out, but you can always install the GNU coreutils. Of course, you then have to prefix everything with “g” (e.g. ggrep, gsed) which can get annoying.

That said, this is why I’ve always given up on BSD every time I’ve tried it—all of the low-level technical benefits touted in the article never actually make a difference in my day-to-day usage, whereas little annoyances with the userspace really add up.

I use FreeBSD as a daily driver on my desktop. Very happy with it. My reasons to choose it were more that I feel like Linux has become a toy of big tech. If you look at the kernel contributions, most of them are from people working for all the big names. Linux has become Big Business and each company is trying to safeguard their interests in it. Linus is still in charge of the kernel officially but all the steering groups are dominated by big tech. Look at the Linux Foundation for instance: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/board-of-directors/ . These are not the kind of people you'd expect to lead 'free software', these are all boardroom types. Maybe Linux has outgrown the beardy hacker culture but I have not :P

Of course, Linux is not much worse for it... Yet. I think this is for 2 reasons: Linus' benevolent dictatorship, and the fact that they won't be able to agree on much given that these guys are all competitors. But in the long term I'm sure this will take its toll. For example, would these guys ever have approved the GPL-3? Everyone in business is pretty universally against it.

And in fact it's the very BSD license that makes big business shun FreeBSD. Which I think is a good thing. FreeBSD still feels like a grassroots development and as such I feel more in control. The excellent and consistent documentation and friendly community is another plus for me. And the combination of stable OS with rolling third-party software (but this is something that was also mentioned in the article). ZFS on Root is another one (though Ubuntu is now catching up to that).

I want to caution a bit with using FastAPI in prod. There is still a pretty significant memory issue that is not resolved: https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/1624

It's really a matter of them not doing _anything_ that could help.

Asking for additional development work on a game that is being shutdown obviously won't work, as that that amount of time spent on a dead product is just a waste of money for the business. For example, asking the company to dockerizing the server software, or split their code from the licensed third party tools like speedtree, RAD Game tools, etc and release it open open-source just wont work.

However, I do think most companies could justify asking one of their developers to spend just a single hour to document/copy+paste the _bare basics_ of the network logic for the good PR alone.

They could literally copy+paste their network serialization logic (whether it's something high level like protobuf, or just a raw C++ enum for associating the packet ID's with descriptive names). That's it. Just that one thing alone would immediately raise my opinion of any company that has to shut down an online game service. Just that single thing alone would save their fanbase hours of time spent on reverse engineering the networking for server emulator development.

I am French and I am ashamed that my country is THE country of homeopathy (together with Germany). You see homeopathy everywhere and I am tired discussing with people about that. I once took part in a radio broadcast with some crackpots and ate 5 tubes of Oscillococcinum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillococcinum) when they started to tell how important the right prescription is.

There was also a guy who was channelling something something energy something quantum with his hands and was afraid of how powerful it was. He came with a lady who fainted when he touched her head. I asked him to concentrate as much as he could and fry my brain. He did not want to do it because he would kill me. After some back and forth he touched my head and obviously noting happened. I had bad waves or something mike that, apparently.

As for the "education" for homeopaths in France, this is done after medical studies which is completely crazy. These people are idiots.

> Back then there was no concept of nations and nation-states, which only evolved a couple of centuries later.

Just because the power structures didn't perfectly reflect nations, doesn't mean nations didn't exist. Look at, for example, Catalonia, that still has a concept of its own nationhood despite being ruled by Spain.

Or look at the British Raj, for that matter. Britain and India were both ruled by the same royal family, yet no-one pretends their people's identities weren't distinct.
I don't think comparing FreeBSD to GNU/Linux is a fair comparison. since FreeBSD is looked at as a whole operating, it should probably be compared to Fedora or Ubuntu or RHEL, etc. Particularly the complaints about how some follow "the Debian way" and other don't. If you're going to say that, you invite criticism about things that work on FreeBSD but not on OpenBSD.

They're just different. It's a different OS. I agree some things don't make sense but some things on Linux don't make sense either. It's just a long heritage of things that have organically grown. Consider 'dd' for example, with its 'if=xxx' whereas other tools would use the format '-if xxx'.

But it's a different OS. Solaris tools were different from the GNU toolset. HP-UX' tools were very different (try compiling something on HP-UX CC lol). MacOS' tools are also different.

If you expect things to be GNU, use GNU/Linux. Or Hurd :) Or install GNU coreutils.
Hmm, could be. I don't know much about this.

I imagine you want a very good approximation of the soundwave that will hit the ear (so you can cancel it out very accurately). The farther that your 'virtual microphone' is from the ear, I guess the harder it will be to figure out exactly how the sounds it is picking up will combine to hit the ear.

I mean, imagine the extreme case -- your 'virtual microphone' is (virtually) sitting in the path of some directed audio beam which won't hit the headphone wearer at all. Now you do the signal processing and generate a signal to cancel out that directed audio beam, which, because the user isn't in the path of it, causes them to hear it!

Retail Adobe was really expensive, easily $1k+, and people would blanche at the cost of upgrading to newer versions, so at least the subscription would help spread that cost out.

Proper Handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT
To expand on the “classifying Lawvere theories“ part, the relevant concept here is algebras over a monad. An algebra a over m is determined by a function merge :: m a -> a which “plays nice“ with the monad structure [0].

For example, integers with the sum function form an algebra over the list monad, because

1) for any list of ints, the sum is an int

2) the sum of [n] is just n

3) summing recursively is the same as summing over the flattened list.

More generally, the algebras over the List monad are exactly the monoids, with ‘merge [a, b]‘ as the monoid operation. Algebras over the Maybe monad are pointed sets, with ‘merge Nothing‘ as the distinguished point. A lot of algebraic structures (Lawvere theories) can be defined by a monad this way.

[0] Laws that ‘merge‘ should satisfy:
merge (return x) == x
fmap merge (merge mx) == merge (join mx)
