"I pointed this out in the Markdown mailing list, and Gruber agreed that it should be changed. In the next Markdown release—which was, I believe, his last—he made the change, and all the text in code blocks has been treated literally ever since."

What's wrong with that? He said what he did, said who fixed the issue, and stated the result.
My initial thoughts of XFCE on FreeBSD
Coincidentally (?) I got an unsolicited text message yesterday with my "Samsung account verification code."
Many of these communities have been there for hundreds of years. It was their homeland long before the United States existed. Do we force them off their land because it's more convenient for us? Do we force them to revert to a primitive lifestyle with no access to modern conveniences like medical care, a good education, food in lean times, electricity, or communication?

Or do we let them continue to have the best of both worlds at the cost of an airplane once a month? I vote for option 3.
Because if you're selling a computer, and it has a USB 2 port, you don't want your spec sheet saying "USB 2" while others have "USB 3", but it's hard to upgrade your stuff mid-cycle, so you get "USB 3.1" to be defined as "USB 2" so you can look at least competitive.
The touted 80gbps one is presumably USB4 Gen4x2x2 (or Gen4x4?), this is presumably USB4 Gen4x3x1 or something.

No, I don't even know. Can we please just call them fucking USB11 and USB12 or something?
This happened about 4 years ago, people were definitely aware of the opioid problem at that time

Comparing Cloudflare Workers with Deno Deploy
when I was taught to drive by a professional driver, alertness, eye movement, passenger safety and control of the vehicle are part of the driving. After thirty years of safe driving, it is stunning to see people voting to include "alertness monitoring" .. you want that ?!? It seems like mental illness to me, to want that in your car, when you cannot turn it off.. Secondly I have posted about NO being tracked at all times, and gotten downvotes for that .. really honestly, what are you asking for voters?
Yeah IMHO nix just needs someone like Brian Kernighan to sit down and write the definitive book about it and its internals. Something that clearly explains the practical and theoretical uses of nix and nixpkgs.

Nix pills, the official manual, etc. aren't really there yet--they talk about all kinds of paradigms that might (?) be going away like nix-env and its ilk. It's just extremely painful to track down the current best practice and way to do things in nix--you're bouncing off all kinds of docs and finding multiple conflicting or out of date ways to do things. Someone needs to give folks a slim book about nix flakes and the flakes way of doing things, the nix language, and a tour of nixpkgs, and IMHO there will be a lot more people using it.
> I was not aware that HRT is a lifelong commitment.

To provide a bit of nuance: this is only true if you get surgery that removes your body's ability to produce sex hormones. Every human needs _some_ sex hormones to prevent osteoporosis; that's why non-transgender people sometimes have to take hormones (and, in fact, more non-trans women take estrogen than trans people do!)

If someone starts HRT and decides that they hate it, it's generally possible to just... stop. There are some more permanent effects, but they take a while to develop.

> Is there any concern that a major pharmaceutical company is essentially charging a lifetime subscription for you to be who you identify as?

This is a super interesting question! The obvious solution is that socialized medicine would completely obviate the problem, but that's a huge, sweeping solution, has its own issues, and is unlikely to happen.

My perspective is that estrogen, in particular, is really quite cheap. Compared to, for instance, insulin, it's a very safe, abundant, and inexpensive maintenance drug. Testosterone is also pretty cheap, but is harder to access because it's more heavily controlled.

In my opinion, it only really becomes a problem when politicians decide to try and remove these drugs from insurance coverage, which we've seen in several places in the United States.

Laziness wing again! I’ve been meaning to move my domains from Namecheap to Cloudflare for no reason other than I switched to Cloudflare DNS years ago. Turns out I was just following best practices :)

Side note so this comment isn’t completely devoid of info: in the 10+ years I’ve had domains at Namecheap I’ve never had so much as a hiccup. Highly recommend them as a registrar.
Probably easier to just scavenge stuff, if you're fortunate enough to survive the initial fallout/disruption from say a nuclear war there's going to be a lot of stuff and not so many people.

David Gingery's book "Build your own metalworking shop from scrap" is a very fun read though
I get the same thing too!
Nix is turing complete (it can implement the Lambda Calculus), even conveniently so.
Nothing public I’m aware of, unfortunately. I wish they talked about it publicly in more technical detail.
Several bank loans and store cards were taken out in my name using only my name, address and date of birth, in the UK. The same cynical business logic applies the world over: it's cheaper to clean up after the inevitable fraud than to implement proper identity checks. This calculus is of course aided by the fact that the detection of the fraud and the organising of the cleanup is taken care of entirely by the victim. "Victim", not "customer", because usually there is no business relationship between the company with the shitty identity checks and the person that has to live with the consequences.

I recommend contacting the credit rating agencies and getting them to place a note on your record with a password, eg. [1]. Don't wait until someone "steals your identity". It's the only way to get these companies to do something resembling an actual identity check. Doing it after they've lent in your name (as the rating agencies suggest) rather defeats the object.

Which is fine. There's plenty of devices I own that just need a charging cable. But it's near impossible to know what cable does what. Even some of the expensive ones I've bought don't do what they say.

You would think with how much money is pumped into the governing body of the standard they could both force classifications of cables/devices and also verify they actually do what's advertised.

Every company using USB-C needs to pay $3500 USD to use the branding and a proper vendor ID. Every single company. And yet they still can't solve the very basics.
But what revision? R1 or R1.31?

If you use an R1 cable on a 1.31 device, you may end up with a brick, or even worse a fire.

Before plugging them in, I always dissect open the ends of my cables and examine the chips under a microscope just to be certain. Sometimes a delid is also needed, in such instances I head over to Ken Shirriff's house. :P
He used to live in the city in Australia and go out to a piece of property owned by a friend, based on the amount of money that he's made from his channel though I think he now bought a property just to do this. He was a lawn maintenance guy if I remember correctly.
From a post above:

> your device, including MAC address, IP address, log information, device model, hardware model, IMEI number, serial number, subscription information, device settings, connections to other devices, mobile network operator, web browser characteristics, app usage information, sales code, access code, current software version, MNC, subscription information, and randomized, non-persistent and resettable device identifiers, such as Personalized Service ID (or PSID), and advertising IDs, including Google Ad ID;

Regardless of how fake you think the information you gave them is, if you use your phone, there is more than enough information to attain a real identity and connect that to other identities.

IMEI alone will uniquely identify your device, and therefore you, and it will be connected to a phone company that is probably willing to sell your data.

Well, saving is a virtue in itself (a virtue that most Americans don’t have I agree). But it’s really a separate issue. Suppose all Americans suddenly started saving 10% of their income. That would just establish a new standard of living, a new equilibrium.

The point is, though, that the population level class structure and socioeconomic mobility/opportunity would remain. As would the fact that the current generation cannot (as a whole) afford housing the way two generations ago could.

The narrative of “the individual” encourages non-elites to compete amongst themselves for a progressively shrinking portion of the pie. From the perspective of elites it has a twofold benefit: discourage worker solidarity and encourage productivity. From the perspective of workers, the latter benefit is good (we all should strive for competence and contribution), but the former is not good (even just in terms of life enjoyment). Also, at some point the pie needs a drastic and more balanced reallocation.
Exceptions interact exactly deterministically with the call/return system. There is no scope for surprises.

In particular, destructors run, absolutely reliably. Rely on them. Using modern C++, you rarely need to code your own destructor; usually the language provides one that is guaranteed to be correct.

> Czech people hate Polish and that's fact.

No, this is just your opinion. Even the new Polish ambassador in Czechia, chosen by the current right-wing government, very openly said that the behavior of the Polish government was stupid and he doesn't understand it, because it could be solved easily straight away. And instead of listening to him, they started to shout "Treason!" all over Twitter and finally they dismissed him. Now again they can't find anyone who would be stupid enough to agree to take on this post:

Just because someone says it, doesn't make it either true, or even sensible as "this is how it should be". Unless you can back up that statement with strong arguments (which RMS can't, ideology doesn't pay real world bills, and unlike RMS, the rest of us don't get paid lavish speaker fees) appealing to authority does nothing to strengthen a position.
Yeah that's probably it. I'm only on a 5.15.x kernel.

> At Firefighters, firefighting is our top priority. We recently discovered that our base of operations caught fire and, as the fire hydrants and fire extinguishers did not work, it was incinerated.

An absurd, insane message.

> I certainly wasn't advocating that no one should get opioids because I have a high pain tolerance, rather that we maybe shouldn't be prescribing them by default for everything.

Many, many people assume that if the doctor doesn't offer pain medicine, then it's because they don't need it. Once you've left the office and the pain gets bad and you realize you should have asked for them, it's too late. But also, a ton of doctors won't prescribe them anymore ever because of the extreme risk of losing their career to the DEA if they make a bad call in favor of prescribing. There's virtually zero risk for under prescribing, so human nature for self-preservation makes this decision a no-brainer for the doctor.

> In the same vein, I think a lot of research ought to be done into non-addictive painkillers. Then the risk would basically be zero and everybody's happy (except for pharma companies that make bank off of opioid addicts, of course)

I agree completely
I was afraid this was going to be a "fake" primitive technology channel... but it seems that this one, "Primitive Technology", is actually the _only_ real one! It was even used as "a baseline for what SHOULD be achievable in a natural setting" [0]

> Making clay seems to be easy.

I agree. [At least the rivers I know have plenty of clay.]

> Large quantities of metals in the ground.

I guess this is the most difficult part. It depends a lot on the exact place you are. It would be nice to know how much sand did he process and how much iron he got.
Just got the email from Samsung saying I was part of the breach. At the end of this (extremely long and excuse-ridden) email they inform me that I'm entitled to a free credit check every year from credit reporting agencies.

Can't we just fast forward to the part where they send me a $5 check for the class action settlement? They'd save a ton on legal fees.
I've been learning to be okay with a bit more mess and a bit more time to get ready for things. I'm also learning guiding techniques like allowing my child to choose between two acceptable options. Win-win if it works: they get to feel like they're getting their way, and I'm getting mine.
Okay, now build a 3nm semiconductor fab from scratch to record the video on. I wonder how long that would take. Let's assume that the engineering for the whole thing was perfect and already done, you have 1000 workers, every worker is perfectly coordinated, didn't screw up and worked say 60 hours a week. 40 or 50 years? Longer? The prospecting and mining all the unusual metals, and finding all the energy generating materials for the power plant would take half the time I'd imagine.

> If a candidate were to say “that’s my doing” when describing the outcome of a prior team project,

"I made that" is the ultimate statement of pride in work. Taking that away is a really awful anti-pattern in management. Let your people be proud of their contribution, and equally proud of the product of the team. The work of a team is the sum of the contribution of all members.

> a reasonable exaggeration in many circumstances

I find people who take credit for the work of the team to be a lot worse than people who take pride in their contribution to the team.
Since we're talking about DOTA. Defense of the Ancients was a custom map game in Warcraft III. I don't know if this is still a thing, but custom map games on Starcraft and Warcraft III absolutely ruled. There was freeze tag, capture the flag, tower defense, a zombie defense like game based on Starship Troopers. Absolute golden age of gaming for me as a kid.
I get the impression that TikTok--due in no small part to its Chinese origin--also has an army of people explicitly moderating the community and re-weighting content, whether for reasons we might consider good or bad. I thereby really don't think it is fair to call it "AI/ML engagement algorithms unleashed", and I don't think it has any chance of falling into the content tarpits of YouTube (as extremist content would be removed or shadowbanned by humans) or Instagram (as low-effort content farms are essentially non-existent due to the moderation)... but, they also had a major scandal a couple years ago when we learned they were actively telling their moderators to filter out people who looked too ugly, poor, or disabled :/.

https://theintercept.com/2020/03/16/tiktok-app-moderators-us...

> The makers of TikTok, the Chinese video-sharing app with hundreds of millions of users around the world, instructed moderators to suppress posts created by users deemed too ugly, poor, or disabled for the platform, according to internal documents obtained by The Intercept. These same documents show moderators were also told to censor political speech in TikTok livestreams, punishing those who harmed “national honor” or broadcast streams about “state organs such as police” with bans from the platform.
Beautiful way to put it haha
In this case it wasn't "strange or impractical" decision - the mine endangered water table on Czech side of the border. Czech Republic protested expansion unless Poland funded some minor work to ensure access to water was unimpeded.

The incompetents in the government decided that negotiation, or the way lower than the dien cost of fixing water pipeline for few villages, was beneath them.

The ECJ injunction was about stopping the expansion when, as matter spanning the border, the case was taken to court.

Once again politicians decided to... Ignore the injunction, which resulted in a fine, and finally the fine was taken from funds that would otherwise go to Poland.
In the description of the video on youtube he often explains how long the full project took, and clarifying what took longest, it's always much longer than I expect (in the trebuchet video I think the problem was that collecting bark to make the rope took a very long time)
Superficially, you seem misinformed. Matter of factly, a great problem would be that you're requesting advice on tax evasion on a public forum.
It's almost like you have a very colored opinion of what unions do. Consider where you get the information about unions.

Unions are why when my mother got her job, she was given a paper that showed her most likely pay scale for the next 10 years. Unions are how my mother had excellent health care to take her children to the doctors, despite making just over poverty wages. Unions were there to help her when a student (a fellow student of mine, in my own class, indeed my mother taught me a few times) made baseless and false claims of sexual assault. Unions were there when nurses were being put in harms in an attempt to force nurses to bear the brunt of covid issues. Unions are there when management says "you should be expected to do X" when X is laughably beyond average expectations and also what was in your contract when you signed it.

Unions could have stopped my company from requiring unpaid overtime as "prod support" for our products. Unions could have prevented my work contract from being one sentence that's as vague as possible. Unions could have prevented my company from cutting everyone's pay by 20% during covid despite business being up 100% because we do e-commerce.
But we make the up front cost trade-off at the expense of nothing working right. People buy cables or chargers that don't support the right level of charging. Cables work with some monitors but not others. Instead of paying extra for things that just work, we end up paying for impossible-to-distinguish hardware that may or may not work because of some flavor of the spec that doesn't work with the other piece of hardware you're trying to connect it to. A lot of that ends up being instant trash. Genuine, good hardware that is just incompatible is indistinguishable from badly made hardware: to the consumer they both don't work. And so we end up with waste and frustration in the name of saving a few bucks.

Currently I have multiple different Squeezebox players (Boom, Radio, Receiver, Touch), then on mobile Squeezeplay app (Android) for mobile usage (sometimes quite handy, when somewhere else than home, nice way to have own music library with me via VPN with same UI as home).
Also Chrome speakers are players from LMS point of view.

Squeezeboxes are rather durable, probably will use those for many more years. Have been also collecting little replacement player stock :)

Wanted to evaluate esp32 -based player mainly for hacking purposes, but havent found yet time to work on those.
Nobody would buy their old USB2 cables when they can get other faster cables, so the manufacturers of the old cables would actually rather pump money into politically pressuring the relevant standards committee into 'massaging' their latest technical definitions to include products which already exist.

I don't understand what the problem is with the imprecision in your story. Did your coworker abuse the extra pills? Did he become an addict? If not, then why is it so bad for him to have gotten more in case he needed them? Don't you think needing them and not having them is worse than the situation your friend was in where he needed to throw them away?
> Sure, then have a charging flavor and a data flavor.

Well that's what they do - and then an X flavour and a Y flavour, etc, and that's how we ended up where we are.

As a kid I was fascinated by the extraction of iron from sand using a magnet. I’d hang out in sandboxes on playgrounds and collect it. I figured out you could wrap the magnet in a plastic bag for easy removal of iron filings. Last I recall I had filled two and a half peanut butter jars.
If you're trying to mandate the highest requirements for all manufacturers, then they're going to either not build or not conform simply because it's too expensive. This is an unfortunate consequence of being the universal standard; it's even worse if manufacturers decide to ignore the standard so you gotta try embrace them.
