So my nerdiness is a very particular niche and a book about certain conference on Episcopalian growing pains called Shaping Our Future happened to fit into it, like nobody I show this book to seems to find it interesting but me, haha.

But one of the talks given at that Episcopalian conference claimed, much to my shock, that we needed more little kids running around during the church service, not less... even raising the idea that maybe children's ministry breakaways were not correct. What unimaginable chaos did they intend for my solemn-leaning Catholic-raised soul? Never! But then the talk quoted a different work by Stanley Hauerwas,

> The Christian community’s openness to new life and our conviction of the sovereignty of God over that life are but two sides of the same conviction. Christians believe that we have the time in this existence to care for new life, especially as such life is dependent and vulnerable, because it is not our task to rule this world or to “make our mark on history.” We can thus take the time to live in history as God’s people who have nothing more important to do than to have and care for children.

[emphasis mine.]

So there I was running around, trying to make my mark on history, it was not going especially well heh... Really marked a big shift in my attitudes.

Because the EU notionally (at least for now) is not a military alliance, Galileo does not have a military application. The slot where you would put a military encrypted mode instead has the "Public Regulated Service" to be used by authorized government bodies which might well in practice be military.

As the US found, in practice such services are largely useless, they sound cool, but in practice COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) dominates. The $50 device you see on Amazon has better features than the $500 military product your supplier offers. When you ask the Amazon supplier can sell you 1-1000, with 48 hour delivery but your military supplier quotes 6-12 months with batches of 500.

Can the enemy jam your $50 Amazon special? Maybe. But in a hot war zone, unlike for an annoying neighbour, jamming isn't necessarily an effective strategy because it involves transmitting radio signals, which makes you a target.
Factory reset on android can only reset the apps to the version of the app that came with the OS release. It doesn't revert any OS updates. Also all apps are updated by Google Play as long as you're logged in and haven't disabled auto-update.
> the general news media was very impressive to me as well. i hardly knew the queen. but within hours were many articles and documentaries covering her lifetime

Such is the extent of the Angloamerican corporate propaganda that fills in the place of the state propaganda apparatus in non-capitalist systems.
On video game sales, I find it interesting how successful games can be while being 90% the same as an existing established game.

I’m not coming at this from some kind of ethics/copyright perspective, I think it’s totally fine to rehash the same idea. I’m just surprised they sell so well when I look and think “why would I buy this, I basically already have it”. The particular example I’m thinking of is a series called Overcooked which is a co op time management game and right now one of the hot sellers on steam is called Plate Up which seems to be basically the same thing at a similar level of polish.

The real learning I guess is to not be discouraged by existing products, because they don’t seem to prevent you from succeeding even when you can’t quite define why yours is better than the rest.
whatever hardware you can find and Freenas (Truenas core now).
Can you expand on this statement "It costs me only several cents to parse an entire page"? That sounds like quite a lot to me. We're talking _maybe_ a few seconds of compute time (if things are really slow) + a trivial amount of bandwidth.

Are you dividing the monthly hosting costs for a server by total seconds spent actually running this tool? I'm thinking if you did this with an AWS lambda it'd be free (maybe bandwidth cost, but again, trivial) unless you had way, _way_ more use than a single person could reasonably generate. Also, free if you used any of the free hosting services and were just doing it for a small number of users.
Note: Some people consider reference counting to be a form of garbage collection.

AFAIK Objective-C has lots of reference counting.
> Because sugar coating is not helping at all

No, stop. This is exactly the nonsense I was talking about. There are no objective measures by which out society is getting worse in terms of government overreach or abuse of power. Things are getting better. Would you rather live under Hoover's FBI? In an internment camp? In a segregated neighborhood?

It's good you see problems you want to solve. It's extremely bad that people have convinced you that you have to tear down the government to solve them. Because you know what you get when you tear down a government? Another government, with all the same conflicts of interest and none of the established rule of law. Historically, revolutionaries make things worse almost 100% of the time.
I had a similar experience. Higher resolution netflix on my T-Mobile prepaid data line with warp installed.

Additionally I did the bog standard TTL modification, installed warp and probably one or two other things I can't recall. For whatever reason those changes allowed me to tether unlimited 4G speed data rather than being throttled down to 3G after a few gigs. This was true for T-Mobile, US Mobile's "verizon" tower mvno service as well as US Mobile's "t-mobile" tower mvno service. Can't say I was upset about it.
(disclaimer: I'm not a resident or any kind of expert, but I did read the article down to ~August 30th.)

The "crisis" referred to appears to mean the recent loss of pressure throughout the system, which happened after the boil water advisory, active since July 29th. The boil water advisory should be considered a crisis of its own, I agree, but the loss of pressure meant many could not get even basic washing and toilet use done, which made international news.

The article is written in a difficult to follow reverse chronological format, but it is clear from its contents that ~24 hours after the arrival of the Corps (at a time when other services were already working on the problem and had likely made big progress), pressure in the system was increased to about 86 psi and nearly the entire system had water supply again: the immediate, primary, news-worthy crisis was then resolved, and has since stayed resolved.

Beyond that, work has been done to achieve the higher target pressure desired (also done), get production up and clean out contaminated tanks and beds (mostly done), and to set things up for the full test needed to remove the advisory (not yet done, but anticipated to be soon).

The headline is a strange fact to pick out in all this, but it does seem to be essentially true.

Bose's arguments instead of stretching this argument.
Experts have been warning about genocide in India[1][2][3] because Hindu nationalists and right-wing extremists in power have been persecuting minorities and stoking anti-Muslim sentiment.

This has directly led to violence and death, as well[4][5]. RSS, the party that held the event the CEO was going to go to, has also be directly attributed to violence against Muslims[6].

Exactly what problems are plaguing the country where the solution is discrimination, violence, death and potentially genocide?

Here's what the political rhetoric looks like, from an article titled "India's Hindu extremists are calling for genocide against Muslims"[3]:

> At a conference in India last month, a Hindu extremist dressed head-to-toe in the religion's holy color, saffron, called on her supporters to kill Muslims and "protect" the country.

> "If 100 of us become soldiers and are prepared to kill 2 million (Muslims), then we will win ... protect India, and make it a Hindu nation," said Pooja Shakun Pandey, a senior member of the right-wing Hindu Mahasabha political party, according to a video of the event.

> Her words and calls for violence from other religious leaders were met with a roar of applause from the large audience, a video from the three-day conference in the northern Indian city of Haridwar shows.

Here's what the actions that stem from the persecution and politics look like[5]:

> The 2020 Delhi riots, or North East Delhi riots, were multiple waves of bloodshed, property destruction, and rioting in North East Delhi, beginning on 23 February 2020 and caused chiefly by Hindu mobs attacking Muslims. Of the 53 people killed, two-thirds were Muslims who were shot, slashed with repeated blows, or set on fire. The dead also included a policeman, an intelligence officer and over a dozen Hindus, who were shot or assaulted. More than a week after the violence had ended, hundreds of wounded were languishing in inadequately staffed medical facilities and corpses were being found in open drains. By mid-March many Muslims had remained missing.

> Muslims were marked as targets for violence. In order to have their religion ascertained, Muslim males—who unlike Hindus are commonly circumcised—were at times forced to remove their lower garments before being brutalised. Among the injuries recorded in one hospital were lacerated genitals. The properties destroyed were disproportionately Muslim-owned and included four mosques, which were set ablaze by rioters. By the end of February, many Muslims had left these neighbourhoods. Even in areas of Delhi untouched by the violence, some Muslims had left for their ancestral villages, fearful for their personal safety in India's capital.

In the bad old days of Big Newspaper, they had pre-written obituaries for all the famous people who might die.

Henry Kissinger is 99 years old. Jimmy Carter is almost 98. It would be journalistic malpractice not to have their obits all ready.

There are three things that lead to fast lock times for cell phones.

* Ephemeris and almanac data updated via the internet so the receiver doesn't have to wait for either and can immediately know what satellites to listen for and acquire.

* Precise clock via NTP so the receiver has a smaller solve space for its internal clock

* AGPS gives a very good position fix to further help with the initial clock and position solving

The title is biased. If the majority of senators on the committee support Cruz's amendment, and Democrats don't want to support the amended bill, they are also responsible for "blowing up" the plan. That's fine if it would do more harm than good. Quoting the article:

'What Cruz has suggested is an amendment to prohibit tech companies and news organizations from using the collective bargaining tool to collude on efforts to censor content. While the bill itself waives an antitrust agreement so that news organizations can collectively bargain with tech companies, Cruz says that this key antitrust exemption would not apply if during the negotiation process anyone “engages in any discussion of content moderation.”

After an 11 to 10 vote, the Cruz amendment was approved.

The Chicago Tribune reported that one of the bill’s co-sponsors, Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), said the amendment divided Congress, and Democrats would have to walk away from the bill. She's concerned that the Cruz amendment would provide an escape route for Google or Meta to avoid joint negotiations by simply raising discussions around content moderation “at the first opportunity.”'
I would love to see what kind of mess this turns into when applied to IPv6
Using a niche language often means interacting with its community. I don't mind if a couple of fans duke it out, but when somebody like Loris resorts to ad hominem attacks, that's pretty telling. Egos are getting in the way, they've lost sight of the goal and now it's just another content-free slapfest. It isn't a good look. If I report a bug in the language, is somebody important going to take it personally and flame me for it?

Ah, I missed that Cherry did some retooling again in 2018.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MechSwitchReview/comments/hlc6wt/ch...

In the keyboard meetup back then I talked to the people from Cherry a lot. I told them that they have a lot of choices, but none of them is as great as that old vintage black over there...

They were owned by ZF and very into big industrial customers. In 2018 they talked about getting more independent again and about starting to care more about small customers. Also they were hiring all sorts of positions - to me it almost looked like a start from scratch - they listed positions from sales to firmware development...

It was way too difficult back then to buy from Cherry. So I chose Alps from Matias for my builds. Other then that I use an old indestructible Keytronic ErgoForce and a Topre.

>power of the press belongs to those that own it

The problem is, you're advocating for essentially the weaponization of the middle box. Networking works, because everyone in the middle cooperates to get messages from A to B. No one is wealthy enough to individually backbone their own network connection beyond much more than a local municipality.

To hell with that in short. The General Purpose computer combined with desktop publishing and internetworking puts the power of the press in everyone's hands. The problem is, some groups don't agree with other group's use of it, and want to pressure everyone else to cut off unpopular group's access to the technologically facilitated medium.

These people are nothing short than the most brazen tyrants of our age, and should be resisted at every turn. We need nothing new to deal with horrible people than for our currently equipped LE edifice to do their damned jobs. We have process. It should be followed. This short circuiting through mob pressure to deplatform is nothing more than pulling the plug on the fundaments of the civilization that bore us to the point we're at.
I just don't see it. If it's an internal tool that has no scale at all, fine. No SLA, no problem. Good enough is good enough in a lot of cases.

But what about global customers? Most of the planet just eats the latency? What about single node failure? You usually need to scale past n=1 for a public facing service. It's not just about Google scale.

Because owning a firearm potentially harms others (that is the whole job of the tool, one would argue), sometimes at ridiculous scale for a developed civil society (gestures broadly to mass shooting after mass shooting and overall gun violence [1] [2]).

It's a totally avoidable problem, though. Also, you really want to recycle tritium back into the reactor really quickly (like, within hours, if possible) or else closing the tritium breeding loop becomes more difficult.

adding in a "...only now implemented by Apple in their top of the line..." and a sarcastic "Neat." right after that sentence make it pretty clear what the poster was implying
"Cathedral" is cf "The Cathedral and The Bazaar".

> For instance, if a private entity asks the state for guidance

This is not how it happens. There are many mechanisms for the cathedral to e.g. influence discourse on twitter. None of them involve Twitter overtly and formally asking the government for advice.

What are you talking about!? I have the latest Google TV operating system on the latest flagship Sony television, a model released just months ago! The Google TV OS on the latest available version.

There is no excuse for Google & Sony being so obviously inferior.

The difference between the two is night and day, not some "fanboyism". Switch inputs to the Apple TV and you instantly think "wow!" unless legally blind. Switch back and it's instant disappointment.

Dark oversaturated 1080p upscaled and blurry versus razor sharp native 4K with subtle hues is something anyone can recognise as a clear difference.

The downvotes on my original comment and your response is very telling.

Let me ask you: Have you actually sat down and compared the two? As in, plugged in an Apple TV 4K into an Android TV and switched back and forth?

Or are you just assuming I'm a "fanboy" and have a preference based on nothing more than tribalism?
> Zig can easily be more correct than unsafe code in Rust.

Surely you're joking, because zig is a joke. As recently as 0.9-rc2 (and probably to this day) `{ .x = if (false) { X(); } }` sometimes calls X. It is not possible to be "more correct" in such a language.

Zig inspired me to think deeply about comptime evaluation and how it could be made into a coherent language, and in that respect it is a useful toy language, but no more. (In zig the comptime idea is incoherent: You cannot run ordinary zig code at comptime because of core differences in behavior. For example, there's no allocation allowed, except that code which appears literally in a comptime block can sometimes append arrays together; but this still means you can't run ordinary code.)

Some Canadian banks have ATMs on Canadian soil in airports and border towns that will dispense USD.

A lot of them are 2-stroke engines, which burn a mixture of gasoline and oil. Usually badly tuned with poor fuel/air metering. They pollute like crazy.

The US EPA has not yet banned 2-strokes, but emissions on them have been tightened, and there are different allowances[0] for 2-stroke engines with aftertreatment technology vs. without.

2-strokes are commonly used in lawn equipment, chain-saws, snow blowers, jet-skis, etc. And famously in the East German Trabant 601 automobile (called "little stinker" by the West Germans)

Yes, exactly. It feels forced because we always talk about things that nobody is interested in talking about that much.

I wanna run a hypothetical scenario by you. Lets say you are a fan of the new Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon fan. There is a platform only within your company that you can see which other coworkers you connect with that are also a fan of this big show. Lets say 8 outta 10 people in your team watches the show. So, meetings become more interesting because now you can talk about this immediately.

Now add tons and tons of other topics that you might have in common with your team. Instead of waiting months and years to find out your co-worker of 2 years also loves Tennis, you can know it now, talk about it now, and socially have a better dynamic now.

What do you think of a platform that already does the legwork for you? To bring the teams closer and connect more people based on what they love.

It is especially ironic that the biggest proponents and advocates of expanded surveillance and police state powers are also those who cry loudest about the threats of "fascism". Nobody ever claims to be the fascist or the bad guy while they are accruing power and stripping you of your rights - it is always to protect against some (usually amorphous, exaggerated or invented) threat that requires it.
Complex and terribly executed; certain classes of businesses cannot pay their tax burden while remaining profitable.

I mean, you can take raw photos on iPhone too, if you disagree with their heif/jpeg engine. The default camera app will generate raws with some interesting multi-frame fusion, and 3rd party apps can take direct, single frame raw photos. Plenty of choice to go around.

But, most people are happy with the default output from iPhone in most circumstances.
