when I see text on US letter, I tend to struggle reading it fast. This is because I find it hard to find the next line after I read to the end of a line. I think there is an optimal line width that allows the eyes to flow from line to line, and documents in the US letter format does seem to regular exceed that.

Of course this is not intrinsically the fault of the paper size. The lines could just be narrower. But then you get a massive margin, which is often not what you want for a /letter/. At least not one printed on 10pt or 12pt. Once you put notes in the margins, or double column layout, US letter might be superior. Maybe also for typed letters as the words tend to be wider in that case.

I am curious if people experience the same, or potentially the other way around.

People were arrested by the police in NYC because they dared to walk into an Applebees and order food without showing a smartphone QR code that demonstrated they had multiple vaccinations for a disease that is readily spread by vaccinated people. It wasn’t based on science and people trying to use science as a shield for their actions should have been held accountable.

They corrected that, apparently the person self-deleted their comment (with the note "retarded") some minutes after it was screencapped for Twitter. But yes, a 2 year old account that had never done anything but one random post posts some threatening message apparently outside someone's house, gets screencapped on Twitter and self-deletes minutes later is their story, basically.
Is this issue a footgun in Symfony, since you're comparing a framework of one language (Python) with a PHP language by itself?
What doesn’t make sense to me is why is Cloudflare harassed for providing an utility to some bad actors while other traditional providers aren’t?

Is Comcast getting any flak for providing internet to the KKK offices? Or their water provider? Is Netflix getting any complains for providing entertainment to terrorists? Or vodafone for mobile connectivity?

Why is it different for cloudflare?
I am sure someone has already pointed this out, but there is indeed A4 sized tractor paper. Old person irrelevant anecdote, in the days before affordable high resolution inkjets laser printers, 9-pin dot matrix, 24-pin dot matrix and daisywheel/golfball printers ruled the world.

Submitting coursework in college was required to be on A4 paper, and if you used a dot matrix printer you lost marks too. Some of my college professors, even on my computer science undergrad were so stuck in their ways that they demanded you type everything up on a manual typewriter and would penalize you if they thought you had done it on a computer.

College students were lazy, so everybody would use the college's 9-pin dot matrix printer (losing points) and then mad dash for the single guillotine cutter in the adminstration's office like they were French royalty in 1789. I special ordered very expensive A4 tractor feed paper, and bought a second-hand daisy wheel printer that nobody wanted because daisy wheels didn't do graphics, and typed everything up on a computer. No lost points, no lining up to use the guillotine, no mad dash at the end.

But yeah, places using sizes other than A4, screw those guys.
Maybe it's a question of timing? I've just resubmitted it, let's see what happens.

You realize that Cloudflare took down a bunch of sites with sex workers on them already, right? Including ones that weren't actually violating any laws. The internet already slipped off that particular slippery slope.

I'll get downvoted into oblivion for this, but literally most of my old academic friends are in on this grift, old advisors own some of the largest enterprises in this 'sector', and all all these people (in private) regard quantum computing as a money grab. At best as a way to fund research.

"I'm pretty sure" isn't evidence.

Actual evidence of harassment from members of kiwifarms seems to be missing in all of these discussions. There is no doubt that there was lots of doxxing and lots of mean words on the site, but I haven't seen any evidence of harassment campaigns or anything similar. The closest thing that there was to evidence is someone who called in a SWAT team on a Republican congressperson and said to the police, "I am a kiwifarms mod, please come investigate me."

If that evidence existed, given the microscope this site was under, someone would have found it.

This is seriously ahistorical revisionism. There was no universal networking standard in the 1980’s, and there certainly wasn’t anything universally suited for networking on microcomputers, especially not with the zero-configuration usability that Apple wanted. Remember that TCP/IP was largely a plaything for academics until the early 1990’s, and Apple had to create zero configuration and multicast DNS before they could consider deprecating AppleTalk for use on small LANs.
"The efforts being proposed to drive down emissions will have terribly harmful consequences on the poorest"

What on earth makes you think that? Renewable energy sources and our ability to manufacture them cheaply and at scale are arguably of the most benefit to poorer countries.
Honestly the only people I can see "suffering" from a genuine attempt to reduce our emissions are those of us currently accustomed to a lifestyle that's largely dependent on high levels of such emissions. I certainly don't want to have to give up regular overseas travel...but it's a luxury and there are other ways to get the most out of life while maintaining a less extravagant personal footprint.

The benefit of this political philosophy is its fractally-flexbile. If we've solved every problem and the most efficient of everything is found, then "fully-automated space communism" is the most "efficient" because everything is directed rigidly in exactly the most efficient way.

That's exactly its fatal flaw though: it's so rigid (and what you call inefficiency is called autonomy by others). People change jobs for many reasons, often because they want something better. Companies go bankrupt often because they are less effective. On a macro level, when the terrain is unknown (as it is for our reality), more autonomy means more flexibility and finding efficient solutions faster.
Frankly, I don't get it. What do you do with this karma? What does it even mean? If we could exchange it for money or whatever, I could understand. It's not even an indicator of competence or anything, just being in line with the majority and spending time on HN. It's the equivalent of points and badges on Google Maps.

Yes, just like 5G. Interoperability is sometimes worth the tradeoffs so a nuanced view is needed instead of a reductive "standards bad, competition good".
I run a web publishing product with over 10M deployments. The easy-to-enforce content policy is this "Are we breaking the law by hosting this content?". Basically the answer for an ISP is always no until there is a takedown order from the courts which your are under jurisdiction, OR you knowingly are hosting a phishing attack intended to defraud unsuspecting members of the public, OR you are put on notice of content infringement via sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury. It really is that simple because ISPs are immune by default.

Yes, because that speech was within the limits of constitutional free speech. Most of my knowledge about free speech comes from reading up on how America has defined it for more than a century.
Exactly, it's not like the energy supply decreased overnight due to natural scarcity.

Peak oil might be a reality, but it's not the cause of current problems in the EU.

Also, per capita energy consumption in the EU is 1/2 compared to the US due to more efficient commuting and buildings (still far from optimal though).
Beamforming, MIMO, etc are not like you need for FR2, but without that you cant deploy. At this high frequency, the range is in 10s of m with antenna size of coin. To get the gain, you need MIMO and to get the distance, you need beam forming. Both MIMO and beam forming has more advantages, but without these technologies, almost impossible to deploy more than 50GHz.
We will mmWave, but will take time. Thats how mobile world works. The high end of the targeted band is usually used at the end of particular generation of mobile or the next one. BTW, mmWave is having issue in adopting in mobile world not the FWA. My understanding is, both Lumen and Verizon are going ahead with mmWave band for FWA.

Regarding THz, FCC already opened the band till 3THz for 6G testing. I dont track, but next WRC might be planned for 2024 or 2025 (because of COVID, all the schedules are screwed up). The next WRC will kick start the standardization fo 6G and there is more possibility of THz to be part of 6G. Although as I mentioned earlier, my guess is, it more than a decade before THz band will be in use for mobility.
I mean it’s a drop in replacement in the way that an impossible burger easily replaces a beef patty, not that it’s a 1:1 replacement.

I would love better health campaigns and subsidies as well but no one wants be told to not eat meat or to lose the subsidies that make their meat cheap so it’s not going to happen.

Do you think that fake meat companies shouldn’t get subsidies?
This is definitely pirating.
I accidentally ended up running one of the new gTLD registries for a while. It’s a lot more than $185,000 - that’s just the ICANN application fee. It’s all the other stuff that surrounds running a registry that is expensive. Might be cheaper if it’s “private” registry but you’d probably be looking at as least as much again on top.

No it’s not. If i generate my wealth by being born to a rich person. In what way have i contributed more to society than a nurse who declared bankruptcy after the latest food and energy price increases?

It’s not because of the extremes of my example, it’s because wealth doesn’t accrue as a function of contribution to society.
> But freedom of speech/expression/opinions aren't about defending those who speech/expression/opinions you like but all of them.

The fallacy of tolerance. This isn’t about supporting or not supporting a certain ideology, it’s about perpetuating real world violence. I don’t know and don’t care if kiwifarms is “liberal” or “conservative”. What I do know is they’re terrorizing and perpetuating violence upon people in the real world and there’s just no place for that. That’s beyond a philosophical discussion about freedom of speech.

I think because some of us look at Internet access or phone service as akin to water or electricity service. You just don't deprive someone of those things.

Regarding your Netflix example, I doubt Netflix knows if any particular customer is a terrorist.

Having access to a CDN provider isn't in the same "basic rights" league.
There are a few models of ice cars that basically are very quiet when they drive slowly. Nobody ever complains about how quiet they are. It's not a problem. And it was never a problem in the past. It's only a problem when EV's are concerned. Or rather it's a problem people imagine is real because other people who also did not do their homework say it is so based on what they've heard.

You need to use a similar PHP framework, with one such framework you don't need to escape html or sql stuff.
Replying to my own comment:

I do wonder how this library deals with some of the fundamental differences beween FUSE and NFSv4. For example, with FUSE the kernel and server share intimate knowledge on which part of the file system lives in the kernel's inode cache. Only when the kernel issues a FORGET call, may the server drop information corresponding to a given nodeid.

As NFSv4 is designed to be stateless, servers may need to be able to process requests containing arbitrary file handles, regardless of how long ago they were returned as part of some prior request. You therefore see that in-kernel implementations of NFS servers rely on special file system methods to resolve objects by file handle, in addition to being able to resolve by path.

This means that if you implement FUSE on top of NFSv4, you will most likely not be able to purge any state. Your FUSE file system's FORGET method will probably never be called. This means that memory usage of fuse-t will most likely just keep on growing as time progresses? Or it announces itself as using file handle mode FH4_VOLATILE_*, but UNIX-like NFSv4 clients hardly ever know how to deal with that.

I really got annoyed by the Go package docs after I programmed in Go regularly for about a year. They were just so artless and flat. Each one is just a big list of all the stuff in the package, with no indication that the code has any structure to it at all. It was a few years ago though; perhaps it has gotten better?

Scribble beats rustdoc hands–down when it comes to authoring documentation, but even with Rustdoc you can do a good job of it if you try (http://db48x.net/reposurgeon/rust-port-docs/reposurgeon/path...). I’ll have to check out Elixir next.
broken for me too. wouldn't render a smiley face. "draw anything" is misleading.
I don’t get this criticism; this is a case where open source _worked_. People complained about it. Apple cleaned up their act on it a bit, but still maintained WebKit as a fork. And Google forked WebKit when they decided they didn’t want to play in Apple’s sandbox anymore. This is how it’s actually supposed to work. It gets messy sometimes because humans are involved.
Not sure that protection is a utility, but even then I think the reason Cloudflare gets criticism/critique (not harassment...) comes as a result of the online nature of LGBTQ communities and Cloudflare's location in the closest thing to a physical epicenter of those communities.

I don't know what distinction you were imagining, but I think this one is relatively simple
Half the internet isn't forums devoted to stalking and harassing people.

What exactly is inconsistent about their banning of services? Is there another site which is on their radar, which does what kiwifarm does, and they've come out and stated they will never ban them?
Kiwifarms looks like it is essentially a technical evolution of the tabloid. Tabloid media has been doxxing people and saying really terrible things about them forever. It's hard to feel sympathetic for people like tabloid media, but tabloid media still has a place in society.
Netflix theoretically can’t provide entertainment to known terrorizes because KYC rules would prevent them from being able to pay for it.

Comcast must provide service as part of the agreement to give them local monopoly privilege.

The water company where I am is the government so they are forced to provide service because of the 1st amendment.

Vodafone similarly bought public airspace and it came with rules. I wonder if they can pick and choose their customers.

Cloudflare though is just a regular company. They provide a service, but there is nothing restricting them from banning people. It’s like how Google can ban you for almost no reason.
I mean, what are your alternatives? Should the government legislate as to which clients companies should accept and which they shouldn’t? Even if the client is unprofitable?

Should the government itself offer these services?

Yes, the internet is very centralised these days. The question is what you would find acceptable to change it.

I think there are much better ways to counter propaganda than running a site that doxxes people you don't like and harasses them to the point they commit suicide. We should not enable folks like this.

I think this is a good point. Nobody should be disqualified, and there are in fact many programs available to help people achieve their personal best.

Community college is an excellent stepping stone, as are vocational training programs. These are available in some states at a very low cost.

There is self-affirmation in achieving completion of any project, and completion of a training program that enables one to work, to create, to contribute and to develop self-agency is a wonderful thing to do.
Except you do have the right to shout "Fire" at a crowded theater, at least in the US. The original Supreme Court case (about criticism of the draft) was, IMO, a miscarriage of justice. Fortunately it was overturned a few decades later.

To stretch the metaphor (which was a throwaway comment in a brief, not a formal supreme court opinion about fire safety), you can shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater. What you can't do is lead a mob to a theater and tell them to set it on fire.
