> I think the only way Irish can survive in the long term is in a semi-creolized form with a lot of English influence.

Then that's not Irish. It's a Neo-Irish creole. Which is fine -- great even! -- but let's call it what it is.

> See English: a Germanic language with much of its vocabulary derived from Norman French, Latin, and Greek, and a loss of almost all inflection save for some irregular verbs, and referring to ships in the feminine.

There's a huge difference between what's going on with Irish and what happened with English under Norman rule. For instance, the sound system is still fairly Germanic, the grammar most definitely is. Both these things are being lost in Neo-Irish.

> Look, I'd like as much as the next person to preserve Irish as native speakers speak it, but the chance to do that died over a century ago.

I think there is still a chance, if radical steps are taken. Sadly, you're right; they won't be taken.

I'm fine with something surviving, but we need to be honest about what it is, and how the State has failed those who actually speak traditional Irish and all but guaranteed its death, thanks, in part, to the way it implemented it in the schools. It should've always been a Gaeltacht outward revival.

Just an HN formatting note... To have * characters taken literally instead of italicizing the text in between, prefix each one with a backslash, like this:

Instead of writing the formula =A1\*B1, you can do =Width\*Height

which formats as:

I like Supabase's SaaS model because I don't have to worry about infra work; I can just build.

Maybe eventually I'll have to explore other options, but for now my projects are still small enough where their feature set meet my needs. I think $25/mo is well worth it, knowing:

1. I can spin up a db & auth for a new project without having to spend hours on configuration & deployment

2. I can sleep well at night not worrying about one faulty line of code bringing down my entire app

Your service is now crippled by a bunch of spaghetti APIs on top of the stuff that was crippling it before. You are cloud-scale!

Could we perhaps sandbox any such compilation steps within a container and then copy out the resulting artifact(s), with a hook that does some security scanning?
I think most people that own homes don't have gardens, although I think it would be a good idea if most people did if they had time to do it (I didn't this year except for a single indoor basil plant, but I did have a small one in previous years, and plan to try again next year). There's some good personal health and environmental benefits to having a home garden[1].

It doesn't have to take a ton of brain cycles either. Buy a raised garden bed, fill it with soil, pick out some seeds, water them regularly, periodically check them for disease, etc. Doesn't take much more effort than five minutes a day, usually, beyond the first couple of weeks. If you screw something up one year, try something a bit different next year.

But it doesn't seem to be the norm to have a garden. I only know one couple that have a home garden of the people I know.

"Least" with uncountable nouns is perfectly cromulent usage.
I assume crypto has been a fairly big part of it too, a number of chains use Haskell and Cardanos smart contract language is a Haskell library.
There are cloud-based SaaS alternatives to most of that stuff now. I much prefer a locally installed application myself, but the world is definitely headed toward a perpetual rental/subscription model. If I'm going to be paying rent for my software anyway, the convenience of SaaS is hard to pass up.

Re: wine though, I agree that would be nightmare, but nice thing about deploying as a business is once you get a working image together you can deploy it out to everyone, and only bring in patches that are tested/working. After the initial effort I don't think it would be much more labor intensive than managing windows updates.
At the time I deleted my Facebook account, I had a total of twenty friends. And all of them were people from where I moved away from, or people that moved away from me.

Family, and local friends, I did not friend on Facebook, because I was going to see you anyway.

My mom asked why I wouldn't 'friend' her, and I responded that I talked to her on the phone for 60-90 minutes every single weekend. Without fail. Plus, I used to snail mail her printed photos on a regular basis.

When she died, I found two boxes crammed with every photo I ever sent her.
Yes, I want to do that, but Apple, Microsoft, and Google (as Android) continues to veto that. And there are some arguments for why (the advantages of the walled gardens of the "curated" platform stores, the tech inertia of the different APIs of apps vs websites, and the learned user behavior).

Mozilla tried "Firefox OS" and it's hard to do it. Chrome tried service workers and persistent sites/apps, but.. it's just lame compared to shipping a separate app that bundles a web view and a backend.
More like, "It's not with me", at least in Hiberno English. We'd also say "on me" (in Hiberno-English) for possession, although it means that you have it on your immediate person:

"Do you have it?"

"Not on me / I don't have it on me" = it's not on my person.
how is the court at fault here? i just said if the case is admitted, it has to run its course. why did the other side not budge in the first place? why did it take them 22 years and a court to tell them they were wrong? didn't they know that?

they did and they still didn't care. that is the problem, not the courts per se.
But this is pointless when the virus is already endemic on both sides of the border. A few imported cases is an irrelevant drop in the ocean of domestic cases you already have.
Even cheaper cheap glasses are my solution. 5 pairs for £10. Been over a year with the last set.

The real problem you are going to bump into is when you have to read something off your phone or paper while doing something on screen. You need bifocals that are half mid/laptop- or further/monitor-reading and half close-reading. Try to find them! Anyone?

Turns out in the UK, they are illegal to buy without a specific prescription. Reading glasses + reading glasses = illegal! Because you might not go to an optometrist as often and might have glaucoma. Couldn't find them in the US but couldn't find whether that's because they are also illegal. Couldn't find any on Ali Express.

Interestingly enough in Canada/USA is very OK and cool to say 'gifted athlete' or 'talented goalkeeper' but totally no-no to say 'mathematically gifted student'. Speaking from the personal experience of kids being in high school.
"Brooklyn school-board leader NeQuan McLean says gifted programs have caused division and segregation in his district, and should be abolished because they take resources away from needy students."

So, Special Needs programs segregate kids, and use resources for Needy kids.
Seems self-evident.
At the very least schools should be trying to meet children at their level. I've seen children go an entire year without learning a thing in certain subjects, simply because the curriculum for that year is below their level. Not only is it a waste of time, but it also makes students detached from a school where they feel like they're only getting busywork.

It's good that these schools are focused on trying to help children who are struggling in certain areas. But they seem to be fine with providing poor service to the children who are ahead, which should be unacceptable. It isn't possible to meet every child at their level, but at least there should be some effort made to fit each child's needs. The attitude I see a lot of the time is "You're doing well, so shutup and sit there while we ignore you."
Yes, but the platform gods say not really.

Pretty sure Russia has physical satellite killer missiles just like US does?

Would a nuke in space even work to take out a group of them, maybe even via an EMP surge or are they hardened?

Sometimes I wonder if the world would be more peaceful if cellphone networks couldn't work anymore but there would be so much other chaos so guess not.
I think you may be conflating a few things here.

Being Latino and not being eligible for a social security number (and by extension having a bank account) are different things.

There are millions of Latinos that are citizens, some others are permanent residents, temporary workers, fiancees or otherwise people eligible for a SSN... Some others are refugees under TPS, some others are in DACA, and so on and on.

To conflate Latino and undocumented immigrant is upsetting as fuck, it reinforces negative stereotypes that already cause significant problems like citizens being assaulted, insulted, discriminated against, kidnapped by ICE, harassed by TSA, CBP and other agencies.

Conflating undocumented immigrant and Latino is a disservice to the community at large.

Another thing is: how do you guarantee your service won't be used to finance or otherwise facilitate human trafficking, smuggling, prostitution, extortion or any other illegal activity? Will your service adhere to the Bank Secrecy Act and other regulations?
There's plenty about the notion of buying and selling that can't be understood by any student. An appalling number of kids in public school aren't able to answer questions like "how do you make change for $5.67 if you're given a $10 bill."

Differentiated instruction is a crock; a teacher who fails to be able to teach a classroom of roughly equal abilities is going to fail even harder to teach a classroom of mixed abilities. Giving extra worksheets with slightly harder problems doesn't cut it, when a significant minority of kids are one or more grade levels above grade (and a significant majority of kids are one or more level below grade).
These rows are spaced far enough apart that I don't think the OP research would help as much. Even where they are clustered, they are at different elevations.
Sounds great until you have multi-million dollar programs running off single point of failure spreadsheets with little or no backup or overwrite protection.

The particular parts I was recalling are:

> The upshot of these decisions is that you have more code (because you have no immediates) accessing more memory (because you have no registers) that is dog-slow (because you have no data cache) that itself is not cached (because you have no instruction cache). Yee haw!

Awesome.
> "Intolerating intolerance, violently if we must is the only way for tolerance to exist."

No, That literally is the antithesis of tolerance.

Also, IF (and that's a big if) some things are to be proscribed, they must be proscribed BY THE LAW and with DUE PROCESS, not "violently" as you claim.
The problem appears to be that the fines are a wrist slap, so cost of doing business once entrenched.

Regulatory capture is also a problem. I prefer governments with less corruption, debilitating fines, companies less powerful than nation states, and robust antitrust enforcement to maintain healthy competition.
Maybe time to give haskell another try. Last time (5 years ago?), I got stuck on two issues:

1. Wasn't clear on environment/toolchain and ended up compiling for a long time just to install one package. Pretty sure I was doing it the wrong way but saw inconsistent information about what to do. I'm almost sure this is fixed by now, or at least enough for me to stop complaining about it.

2. The runtime seemed more annoying than I'm accustomed to. I remember trying to load some haskell code into another program, and it was modifying the signal handlers, which was totally unacceptable for my use case so I gave up. This is an area rust is much better.

3. It was difficult to use ghci-like functionality from another program (compile bits of haskell code). Maybe it's more library-like now and I can just use ghci now? Neither rust nor haskell is great here.
This is no less evident than in online discourse sitting the Internet agree. Users see fit to shame other users for learning and making use of the knowledge available to them. You're god damn right I read the shit out of Wikipedia to figure out the basics of whatever thing is on the news today.
I recently talked to a CTO of a large company. He told me that he does where he thinks his impact is greatest. Up in board meetings or with developers - who sometimes are confused a CTO is attending - in architecture meetings. As a CTO for 10+ years I thought up to that point you should never code as CTO. I changed my opinion.
My use of sheets is crazy insane, my team of 180, use the sheets for everything, instead of create a crud for control my system, I use sheets and connect with retool ou via api and have instant app, instead of create a complex app for assign tasks, generate the queue with app scripts and big query, and have a nice and simple interface for the team use
It's fileless because the file is in memory instead of a hard disk? That doesn't seem like a good distinction.
The issue is that while (a) society absolutely needs these programs, (b) they, by definition, can't be made available to everyone. Some people are going to get in, and some are not. No matter what we do, there are going to be results we don't like, both at an individual and aggregate level.

For example, it has become fashionable in liberal circles to argue for abolishing the SAT because, while it is not intrinsically racist, its results reflect our racist society: people with less access to education and tutoring perform poorly, and this results in measurable racial disparities. Problem is, the world becomes even worse without it. Under our current regime, very few people from underprivileged backgrounds can get into college and advance, but without the SAT, almost no one would be doing so.
This is obviously wrong. The reason is that they need people to affirm ALL sources of income, not just their W2.
I think it probably gets more promotion than OCaml. But yeah, it's definitely not on the same level as eg. React or something; I get the sense there's a faction in the company that owns it and really cares about it but maybe doesn't get as much priority from the top as some other groups
So it seems that both very cold and very hot are good for cancer prevention/delay.

The vast majority of developers don't understand what "stateless" means, since if you want to get technical is no such thing as a stateless system.

You might have drained requests off of a pod, but it still has a "state", it still has things cached in memory, it might still have connections open to some outside entity (Database, whatever), and the developer, not K8s, is responsible for catching those signals, cleaning up things in memory, gracefully terminating connections, handing off in-flight workloads to another pod, etc. Even in the upper echelons of the tech I see a very small minority of developers actually aware of all the things that can make stateless workloads stateful. Which is OK for something where the stakes are low, but if you're a DBA or a Systems oriented person you'll see people make these (very wrong) assumptions all the time and recoil in horror.
Definitely don't mow every week, but 2-3 times in a season might be a bit on the low side also, unless you want an extremely annoying time mowing and (if you have small dogs at least) that have a hard time maneuvering your back yard, and likely end up with nests of baby bunnies for your dogs to discover and kill (my dogs have killed at least one before we fenced off the burrow every year the past three years).

I tend to mow about once every three weeks and even that can be a bit of a pain if there's been a lot of growth.

I do like to keep a couple patches of unmowed clover or tall plants for butterflies and bees, though.

Also I have an electric mower, so I'm not (at least as far as I know, and not directly) burning fossil fuels to run the mower.
that is the reason why i stopped being involved with blockchain. i can't in good conscience support a technology that is mostly used to exploit people and use a lot of energy for little benefit. and i don't want to continuously have to explain that the project i am supporting is not a scam and is worth the energy usage, when most of the people probably think i am just a scammer and anti-environmentalist for supporting a blockchain project.
I went through grad school and taught in university in the US. My perspective is a bit different. I agree in many ways the US is behind. But in some regions outside the US there seems to be a strong emphasis on rote/mechanical memorization that provides the appearance of good education, but it falls far short when a person is tasked with actually demonstrating an understanding of the material. Me and my US taught peers (of whatever ethnicity) almost always performed better on exams where the problems were similar to but novel compared with the homework, while these rote/memorizing people almost always did better on exams where the problems were essentially lifted from the homework (perhaps with irrelevant changes, such as slightly different numbers or what have you). It was an incredible eye opener, as I had always assumed the US had a trash education system in general. It’s more nuanced than that.

I see how you latched onto the bad Kubernetes example and clearly ignored the “discounting non-English products” part.

I’ll grant you my Kubernetes example was bad but I have no idea what you’re getting at with Microsoft Kaizala. Probably cause I’ve never heard of it or Marathi.

I think it’s understandable that people judge a name, but at the same time, judging can be a form of discrimination. I feel it’s important to ask myself how I might be biased when I make off the cuff judgements based on just a name.

Also, I think the reason Nissan, Mitsubishi, etc transcended languages is because the product was good even if the name was different or weird for the time. People saw the product was good and didn’t care what it was called.
I’d like the smartest kid to get the best education and simultaneously the country to invest in its own people first instead of trying to import anyone and everyone to save on training costs.
Well, I can't engage "Experience exists" because I don't treat "exists" as a predicate, as I stated earlier. What you seem to be asserting as straightforwardly true looks to me more like a malformed sentence. Yes, words and concepts arise in our language and are metaphysically constrained by reality. However, it seems to be quite a departure from this milquetoast linguistic fact to assume that natural language would, could, or even should map to the structure of reality—especially with respect to heavyweight "existence" claims—in any meaningful way.

I adopt ontological anti-realism and do not stray into "existence" claims because they simply raise too many methodological issues. The quotes here are important because I don't have an intuitive understanding of what people mean when they say "exists" in the first place.

You could rephrase "Experience exists" as "Humans experience" or "I experience," which is analogous to Cogito in Cogito, ergo sum but without the ergo sum. There's a subject and a predicate already, and "exists" adds nothing.

If you want to make substantive claims about what does or doesn't exist, your views are subject to relatively straightforward reductio ad absurdums. This is demonstrated pretty clearly in On What There Is.

> Why do you think "something rather than nothing" question doesn't make sense?

"Something" = quantifier, "nothing" = quantifier, existential "is" = quantifier. Again, I would insist on a predicate here.
If Kevin O'Leary of all people is saying "hey, they want to work from home, and it seems to work, so I'm good with it", I think that's a sign that it should be a non-issue. But try telling upper management at my company, and they'll return fire with fantasies about all the collaboration that can get done if everyone's always in the office -- collaboration that I have never seen happen in my 4 years here, including pre-COVID when everyone was always in the office. There's this CEO Office Collaboration Fantasy that's as pervasive and fictional as the more well-known Good Guy With A Gun Hero Fantasy.
