> Perhaps I could invent a spoken language where disparaging remarks are possible but extremely lengthy, thereby discouraging negativity from people in bad moods.

I can see how you might think think my comment is passive aggressive, but it is not. Passive aggression is "the expression of anger, hostility, or resentment through indirect means, especially obstructive or uncooperative behavior: those who expected him to lambast his foes were always going to be disappointed; passive aggression is more his style." (Apple dictionary)

First, if you take my comment as a whole, you can see I was not indirect in my criticism of your comment. Second, I do not feel anger, hostility, or resentment about you or your comment.

Rather, I feel disappointment that this kind of thing happens so often. It is not just you (or any one person) that disparages creativity -- many people have done it, including myself.

The language design comment is sincere. It was a sort of thought experiment. I can also recognize that it is a pointed comment that led to some reflection (I hope), which is why it might have felt like an attack. Still, remember I criticized your behavior, not you.

The comment had the additional purpose of highlighting that language design has broad applicability, and perhaps might reduce some kinds of unwelcome behavior, whether it be bad-mood inspired negativity or error-prone programming abstractions. Rust and Alumina aim to have more expressive types than C, for example. Human language shapes culture and thought -- at least according to many linguists.
The major effect is excessive green in the originals, which becomes a shade of yellow in the adjusted versions, which fits into the context.

I'd like to see a follow-up that uses pigment analysis to identify exactly where that green is used and how much, and similate modifying it.
In a sufficiently large organization, managers are hired to have technical (or legal, or financial) knowhow and to use that expertise to provide information to the CEO to not take time from those doing the work. Likewise, those doing the work often aren't even permitted to communicate with the CEO.

In a small organization, the reality is that many hats must be worn. That may mean developers play manager to some degree, but also the CEO must be prepared to step into the trenches.

The problem is that demand for Cloudflare services is furthered by allowing illegal booters. If thoes sites were not protected by Cloudflare, they would attack each other offline. That would be the death-nail for most DDOS-for-Hire operations and the few remaining would raise prices, making it nearly impossible for a single person to boot other offline.

By allowing the attackers to use their services, while deciding other websites are not allowed to. Cloudflare is removing others freedom of speech.

There was an article publisher here a while back discussing that Chinese progress was limited due to not having invented glass so scholars ability to remain productive after their 40s was diminished due to the lack of reading glasses, perhaps this was a factor as well.

I disagree with “don’t estimate” part. If it’s hard, it doesn’t mean it’s wasted effort. And it’s very valuable to business to know with higher degree of precision how much things cost to develop.

It depends on many things, but from my experience, it’s possible, we went from 40% to 10% margin of error per quarter. When there’s a will, there’s a way.

BRouter works by relying on segments (relevant extracts from the OSM data, in a custom format) of 5x5 latitude/longitude degrees. See https://github.com/abrensch/brouter/blob/f3895791766dfcd7cd0... for their creation (full doc https://github.com/abrensch/brouter/blob/1765ec45230e337319c...).

From my knowledge of the BRouter codebase and past contributions, it should not be a big deal to move from 5x5 to something more web tractable (as 1x1 latitude/longitude).
Hydrogen vehicles are interesting (especially for things like public transport where battery capacity can be an issue - some cities have started looking at hydrogen buses for longer routes for example) but it is potentially pretty good as a potential grid level storage technology as well, even if cars largely become electric.

Further, the Tenth Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Because the Constitution doesn't delegate the power to regulate speech to the US, but rather prohibits it, by definition the power to regulate speech is reserved by the States and the people.
It's just a matter of scale. make your tank 4 times as big and the surface area for leakage only grows by a factor of 2.
also there is already a natural gas grid that can take a lot of hydrogen without modification.
Again this really only ever makes sense if you have an absurd energy surplus as a sort of last resort way to use energy that would otherwise go unused.
In terms of actually being a desirable power system it seems like a complete nightmare to deal with unless you need to go really far out on the gravimetric energy density front with very low power density all while having a fraction of the efficiency of battery electric

Like most technologies, there are upsides and downsides. There is no need for everything in the world to be powered the same way, use what makes sense in each context.

For long distance heavy trucking, batteries are both very large and heavy. Hydrogen can offer an alternative there.

For air travel, batteries are very very heavy. Hydrogen is as far as I can google comparable with gasoline on that front, so an attractive proposition there as well.
Maybe your software team is just efficient and you lack bullshit processes and broken organization that would prevent you from working.

At this point, we could very well stop using the word agile because if nobody knows or agrees on its meaning, it became a meaningless word.

Yeah, sorry about the resizing and shifting. The two images in the article are different sizes (and aspect ratios!), and I couldn't find a good way to fix it up in gimp without either making everything blurry (cubic interpolation) or cutting out rows and columns (nearest neighbor interpolation).

Your description of how you see colors morphing once they're described is interesting! The brain definitely does a whole lot of complex visual processing which we don't notice, such as filtering out the big hole in your retina which nerves go through, and retroactively replacing the memory of your eyes moving with what you see after they've moved. And your peripheral vision is almost entirely grayscale, yet the brain fills in the colors it expects to be there so it doesn't feel grayscale. It doesn't surprise me that when color information is missing due to color blindness, it will fill in the missing color information from other sources.
A very similar situation - we called it the "million rand" muffin problem and one store kept getting occasional misreads on barcodes where the price was embedded in the barcode.

We looked at our code and were rather stumped - a simple ACK/NAK serial RS232 protocol - replaced serial boards.

I got sent onsite (my fate as lead programmer) and sat in the office and waited - hours later it happened and when I looked at the offending muffin I looked down and noticed the barcode scanner was from another manufacturer (cheaper) we normally did not use.

I send some samples to manufacturer - few days later - turned out it was firmware issue.

It's extremely subtle to me - the bottom horizontal stream gets very very slightly greener when it gets bigger. I noticed it first because the starry swirl thing above it, bottom right of the big black thing, seemed to change shape as though the actual brush strokes were different, bit more of a classic star shape emerges. But it's extremely slight, more like the 'what a colourblind person would see' filtering is imperfect than that I can actually see the original.

He (Moon) doesn't actually know that though, it's very easy to disprove an argument when you set that argument up yourself - I took Matthew's statement to be a more general observation on the state of dozens, if not hundreds of problematic posts on the forum that were overwhelming Cloudflare, but that's just me
This. I get a similar feeling when the very people who got nearly mad when they were unable to go to the barber for a few weeks due to an global pandemic suddenly call for a civil war. It is just very clear that they completely lack the imagination how it would actually feel to have the gas running out, no food in the stores and everything you worked for threatened (not to speak of your bare life). In that situation you can prep all you want, but what if your wisdom teeth start acting up? What if you suddenly require medication, that you cannot even know of, because you decided fighting alone is better than actually getting to know the people in your community?

The thing with prepping is that the energy you put into one-upping your neighbours should maybe just be put into fizing the issues you might be bracing against.

Exactly the issue. We should not give “activists” a free pass on this one. I wonder now which one(s) of them will commit the crime of actually DDoSing KiwiFarms. We probably will never know.

Vigilante “justice” is problematic because it leaves room for people to harm others without proper evidences of wrong doing. Mind you, I’m no way denying that Kiwifarms are reprehensible, but there are people out there claiming that KF is literally causing people to die, which I’m wondering where is the evidence of that? If someone is suicidal, one of the better ways to help them is to (among other things of course) make them understand that they have power over their circumstances by telling them that they are responsible for their actions. Claiming that some internet bullies can cause you to kill yourself is not helpful, nor is it true.

This. I have nothing against unit testing; there's been times when a unit test (often written by someone else) has stopped me pushing some truly stupid code to production. But when I started developing my canvas library (for fun, not work) I decided early on that unit testing every line of code was not only sucking the joy from the work, but also too hard to cover all the edge cases of what I was trying to deliver: responsive, interactive, animated graphics, often controlled by user interaction with the canvas element. So instead I developed a big bunch of demos which try to cover the full functionality of the library, which I can visually check locally before pushing code changes to the repo[1].

The big drawback is I have to check all these tests/demos manually (across browsers and devices) before releasing a new version of the library into the wild. Automating that process is on my list of Things To Do - if anyone has suggestions/insights into current tooling/testing suites that could help me then I'm very willing to listen and learn!

The argument is that companies aren't police. Companies, especially infrastructure companies, should not have a personal view of things like these.

What Kiwifarms is doing is either illegal already or should be made illegal. Law enforcement should be the one deplatforming them and taking action against the human drivel that drives people to suicide, it shouldn't be an ISP deciding what is or isn't acceptable.

ISPs should not be filtering out LGBT+ content even if that content is considered undesirable by the general population and that argument goes both ways. With the way things are turning in large areas of the USA, I expect state-wide LGBT+ content bans to be up for debate in less than five or ten years, despite the USA's extremely liberal free speech laws. I think most of us here agree that such bans should not happen and ISPs should be dumb pipes in terms of content selection.

However, if this holds for your Verizons and Amazons, it should probably also hold for DDoS-protection platforms like Cloudflare. Cloudflare is setting out to be in a similar position to your ISP, a piece of infrastructure to prevent cyber attacks rather than a hosting company where you put your content. I think there's a perfectly fair argument to be made that net neutrality should also apply to companies like Cloudflare, especially in a position of this much power. A company should be able to host anything that's not illegal if it chooses to be infrastructure rather than a hosting provider.

In practice, law enforcement doesn't really give a damn about sites like these unless a big story hits the news. The lack of regulation and enforcement is the problem and the burden of combating these societal problems is shifting from the police to companies. Rather than forcing companies to decide what is or isn't right, concrete steps should be taken by the people that are supposed to protect and serve our communities.

What is happening to Kiwifarms will soon be happen to content other people get mad about; be it reproductive rights, gay marriage, or any other civil liberty at risk because of conservative outrage.
The thing is that the vehicles really aren't interesting at all unless you already have an energy surplus that makes the fuel cheap.
unless you have that all you have is a vehicle that burns an expensive and or non renewable fuel (most hydrogen right now doesn't come from electrolysis) while getting just ok range and with the included headache of carting around a 700bar storage system and dubious ecological benefits over bad old hydrocarbons

You are a company if you get death threats against your own workers you have to act. These threats are not anonymous. There are legal implications if you do nothing and something happens.

>PS I never understood why they called it JavaScript since it has nothing to do with Java.

Netscape's Javascript had something to with Sun's Java in the sense that both languages were deliberately positioned together in the Netscape browser back in 1995. Key people from both Netscape and Sun worked together on that. Java would be positioned as the "professional compiled language" and Javascript would be the "easier scripting language".
My previous comment with a link to Brendan Eich's explanation:
