Part of the political art of introducing a ballot referendum is phrasing your amendment in a way that makes it more likely for you to win. The goal isn’t necessarily to be accessible.

it runs better than GNOME that is for sure.

You can't adjust scroll speed in GNOME.

Bunch of applications are without titlebars, like Electron apps or MPV, because they refused to support kind of server (or compositor) side decorations.

Some apps don't have proper icons (because they don't set properly app_id, but KDE works around that).

They are also some weird GNOME specific glitches I didn't encountered in KDE or Sway (like Slack crashing when you try to bring it to foreground).

Only problem I have with KDE is that it re-arranges windows when it comes back from sleep.

Yeah, it's usually a combination of these two factors. You live beyond your means for a decade or five, and then something else goes wrong: natural disaster, war, crop failure, sanctions, whatever. Situations that could be survivable otherwise trigger a downward spiral because you were pushing your luck before.
That's a much better justification for Rust's impl over glibc's. Given the comment this tree sprouted from, the argument seemed to be "Rust is memory safe and uses futex-es", which was pretty weak.

I see the benefit of Rust here as being a kindof modern refresh of the building block concepts, which have calcified in standard C. With Rust, the refresh is now in std, or in a popular crate (where it is accessible via package managers). Alternative C standard libraries are hampered by having to implement awful parts (like locales, the string routines), and while C has an even greater quantity of excellent alternatives for smaller slices of "std" functionality (both open and closed source/in-house), discovery is less good. I'm not sold on every aspect of package managers, but I can't deny they have made some difficult things easy.
Under current laws of social security “defaults” it will still pay out something like 70-80% of authorized benefits. There is no reason to believe it will ever be 0% as the benefits are paid out of taxes that are continually collected from current workers.
It’s an old right wing trope. Fewer babies, fewer people paying into the system, eventual bankruptcy. Completely ignoring that we can just increase the tax.
Paper books are easier to flick backwards and forwards in. Also some PDF images/diagrams end up being too small and/or indistinct on the e-reader page without mucking about.

Paper books are also easier to rotate so that landscape and portrait style diagrams are easier to manipulate.

Having said all that, I like both formats for their advantages, and hate both formats for their disadvantages. So I sometimes have both formats available simultaneously, and use the most useful one for me at that particular time.
If you define 'leading countries' narrowly enough, everyone in that category becomes a random edge case.

Less flippantly, you should expect people running high-variance strategies to be overrepresented at the top. The people leading countries may go to school and get law degrees, but if they stay the path of doing what everyone else does but better, they end up an unremarkable partner at a law firm or something, not POTUS or Bezos or Musk. They don't have to literally do life-threateningly dangerous things (although I'm sure the propensity correlates and that's what the previous poster was talking about), but they do have to be willing to risk the comfortable life that was all but guaranteed for them.
For small amounts (hundreds of dollars), it's often not economical to do this. And if they do end up doing it then its even less economical for an agency to do anything other than automated collections activities (emails, robo-calls etc) which can safely be ignored.
Cancel your card, the fee is small enough that it won't be worth their time to actively pursue you for it.

EDIT: I should append this with "It Depends"/YMMV/Do this at your own risk. Based on my years working in and around the collections space, I can say with a fairly high degree of certainty that you will most likely not be pursued in a meaningful or enforceable way for a small amount like this. But then again Adobe might sell your "debt" to someone who will choose to pursue you heavily for it in the hope that they can find a court to agree with them.
It doesn't happen with the main camera app, so it seems like the difference is software. But could still ultimately be a hardware fault; I really doubt they intended to make this a possibility in the software API
That's a bit blithe. I'm a worker and I've gotten a pay cut in real terms over the past year. Can I negotiate an offsetting raise? Looking doubtful.

Inflation slows down growth rates in some cases, becoming stagflation. The slowdown in growth is what really triggered a reaction against stagflation in the 70s.
> 'hey, we can do that with systemd as well!'

But does systemd do these things in a user-friendly way? Or at least as friendly as Kubernetes?

Unfortunately, no.

Don't underestimate the importance of UX.
Statements like "IO can be done [in lambda calculus] by ..."
really mean "lambda calculus doesn't have IO but can be extended by ...".

Here's what it means to have an LC in LC interpreter. Firstly pick what LC means. Choose a representation for it. Exactly one. Show that this is lambda calculus with no extensions. Then show how an embedded expression of this can be interpreted.

For instance supposed we have a lambda calculus which is based on a three letters M I and U. Spaces are insignificant.

Say that MUIMUIMMU is a valid expression. Then a self-interpreting situation might look like this:

IMUMIUMM...MUI MUIMUIMMU UMI

The to-be-interpreted expression appears embedded. I set it off with spaces for clarity. It is not translated into any different representation. The surrounding material represents the interpreter. There needn't be an epilogue piece after the embedded expression. Important: no part of this interpreter depends on the embedded expression. We can swap in arbitrary other expressions without changing the interpreter; will correctly interpret those expressions.

I am skeptical that this is possible with standard, unextended lambda calculus, whether regular or de Bruin.
Well put, thanks! Interesting.

Interestingly, most 60hz monitors I've tested can tolerate the SNES/NES weird refresh rate without problems. In Windows you can create such a video mode with ToastyX's CRU, and with custom modelines on Linux. All you have to do is take your monitor's native modeline and multiply the pixel clock value by the ratio of 60.0988/your_normal_refresh rate. Within a thousandth of a frame or so is usually close enough, but if you mess with the blanking intervals a bit you can get exactly the same rate.

Monitors generally don't hit 60Hz exactly anyway. A lot of cheap monitors have really inaccurate default refresh rates, like 59.93Hz instead of 60. Some may use 59.94Hz to match NTSC's rate.
Social security, unlike all the rest of the US Government welfare programs, draws from a separate trust. It currently has roughly $3 trillion in the trust. When you pay income tax, there’s a portion (usually noted on the paystub) that goes directly to the trust. If they continue current payments, the income of everyone stays the same, and the tax percentage stays the same, then it will run out of funds after a while (currently predicted to be 2035).

However, I would bet pretty strongly that one of those constraints won’t hold - probably the amount paid out to each person will be lowered, although the tax percentage could also increase.

Systemd do things in as friendly a way as kubernetes?

No one should ever confuse kubernetes for user-friendly.
Autonomous vehicles are not a replacement for intra-regional transport systems like BART, they're complementary last-mile transport competing against things like taxis.

The relative costs make the difference obvious. A one way BART ticket between two distant stops like Dublin and 16th st/Mission is currently $3.45. Using a conservative cost-per-mile figure of $0.50 for the car and ignoring the bridge toll, the 37 road miles between those stations would cost over 5x more than the BART fare. An expensive autonomous vehicle that has to recoup R&D and generally be profitable would probably have to be an order of magnitude or more expensive than BART.
It does make sense to combine them. Manufacturing renewable energy sources requires lots of cheap energy, and can be done in remote places, and currently uses fossil fuels. Use nuclear instead as the base of the energy pyramid (like food pyramid).

Thanks, appreciate the package. I submitted a PR as I was also looking for a Go package similar to this, and wanted to make using this as a library a bit easier.

My brother was stealing property (boats, go-karts, ATVs) and selling it to (mostly) legitimate businesses (run by adults) by the time he was 12. By the time he was 15ish he had a landscaping business with residential and commercial customers.

Never underestimate the power of corporate interests and what they'll do if they feel threatened.

and so you will only be able to browse websites in a certified way, like using your bare IP address or a big 4 browser

...and that browser will have to be running on "trusted" software and hardware, which is very much the definition of user-hostility. There were a few articles recently about the imminent threat of remote attestation that got buried in a similar way. They first went after RMS, managed to get their user-hostile antifeatures into Linux, and are slowing locking things down and going after the dissenters. All in the name of "security" --- to secure their interests, not yours.

> I'm a worker and I've gotten a pay cut in real terms over the past year. Can I negotiate an offsetting raise?

You can always negotiate a raise. But yes: on balance most workers in the US economy were getting raises as the pandemic ended. I did, just to counter your anecdata. When everyone gets a raise and economic activity doesn't change (or drops, c.f. "chip shortage", or "Shanghai shutdown"), you have more money chasing fewer things, so those things get more expensive (more anecdata: I bought a Model Y about 15 months ago, and could sell it today at a 15% profit because everyone who got raises also wants a Tesla).

Things getting more expensive is the definition of "inflation".
Wow i hadn't heard of this and looks like the right solution for a particular need I have. Thanks a bunch for mentioning!

> bad writing is a matter of incompetence

Effective, clear expression needs training, practice and attention. Homo sapiens write as we do because in only 5,000 years we haven't evolved to write naturally and must labor at it.

Clear writing also needs clear thought, obviously. "Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it."
I've long since given up having projects, but when I used to do that kind of stuff I would mostly run either on Heroku's free tier (RIP) or on my home server.

These days I'd probably opt for one of the various free static site hosting options like DO or Github. If I needed an actual server I'd probably still go for DO, or try and cram it into the GCP free tier.
So, ironically, advertisers are right back where they started. The relentless desire to track leads gutted publishing because the ad dollars got sucked up by Google and Facebook. Publishers that survived did so by chasing “clickbait” and SEO that everybody bitches about. In the end the golems they helped create is taking away the control and tracking they wanted in the first place - and undermining their relationships with their audience, too.

Maybe we’ll move back to a better model that helps support decent content.

> On the other hand, teaching is an innate human capability, and a big part of what makes us humans.

That depends on what you mean by teaching. Explicit formal instruction with at least some attention to abstract principles is basically unknown in non-literate societies. People are generally terrible at it without experience. Observational learning is something people are amazingly good at, and language helps a lot but teaching isn’t even a universal in human societies. Watching and learning with occasional, minimal correction is.

Anyone who wants to learn more should read The Anthropology of Childhood by David F. Lance.
I had to scroll way too far for this. You're a hero we don't deserve, but desperately need. One of the most infuriating things about the discussions here is the seemingly never ending supply of people with a passionate opinion on the subject of an article they didn't read because of a pay wall.

Because the military doesn't have any assets to speak of. It's a government program funded each year by taxes.

The social security program is separate from the federal budget [0], and that's why you see it as a separate tax on your paycheck (if you're American). Every dollar you pay into it, goes into a trust fund, whose sole asset is US Government bonds.

Social security can go bankrupt if the US defaults on it's debt, which although almost unthinkable (see Russia as a recent example of paying bonds despite being under heavy sanctions, and having to pay them in another currency) comes up every few years [1].

It seems LP squad is getting old enough to publicly show their victory in the cooperate space . Even considering that, to call it “awesome” is still cringing.

No, Systemd is anti-Unix and unnecessary. Its demand never comes from the community and many non-systemd distributions work much better than redhat, like alpine/gentoo/Slackware.
Also ignoring that social security payments as a percentage of GDP is not hitting some limit it has not over the past eight decades. The US was able to pay out social security in 1942 with a much smaller economy, there is no reason it should be unable to in the future. Some groups have been complaining about social security for eighty years - probably because it is the one benefit the average worker gets back from the federal government.
A friend had an oscilloscope that worked like this. X across the network.
I wouldn't call it a trope if the "solution" is "just increase the tax". That's exactly what many many people want to avoid. Just because you don't see an issue with raising taxes, doesn't mean people aren't justified in wanting to avoid it.
In this video [1] they document that the recent monsoons brought Lake Mead up 4' from the last time they visited the link (check out their feed). But, 4' is still a drop in the bucket, as witnessed from that video when they pan to the rest of the lake. Monsoons are weak and can be unreliable around here (south west, especially California. They do cause mudslides and even find leaky roofs in casinos, but that's not enough to change things.

QQ: why do they embed the rules in a string and not just regular json?
The idea that it is just a technological problem is a political worldview.
You can't always negotiate a raise. That's why real wages for some kinds of US workers have been flat since the late 1970s. Fewer workers are covered by collective bargaining agreements that peg wages to inflation now than in the 1970s, so wages will lag prices moreso now than then.
It waste your time and even more power when you watch it:)
The dwindling ratio of workers per retiree (from 16 to 1 in 1950 to under 3 to 1 today) is a real thing. The right wing runs with it because it plays into their politics, for the same reason the left runs with climate change. But that doesn’t make it a manufactured problem.

Working young people have to take care of non-working old people. That’s true in a Bangladeshi village and that’s true in America. There’s no policy knob you can turn to make that fundamental dynamic go away.

It's genuinely not great, mostly placeholder stuff to convey aesthetic & mechanics so I can continue coding. I always toy with just bankrolling a skilled 3D artist to craft all the pieces to spec but then it becomes a quandary: is it really 'my' game at that point?
I thought the other poster's comment was relevant, so I didn't answer (I posted an earlier comment being replied to). FWIW, I instead would have suggested that natural gas could cover any shortages, since this type of power is easy to turn on and off, and fits more with the theme of "this is potentially possible today".

The simulation over produced energy from green source. Looking at the chart - looks like the wind power alone was enough to satisfy the grid if available. Given that, I do think it's possible that a mere 5 hours of backup can keep the grid 98% renewable, turning to hydro when solar + wind is not enough. Also solar / wind may be somewhat inversely correlated and north / south Australia also may have different weather patterns.

Given a large enough sampling of the world, I'd imagine it would be easier to find the wind / solar power you want, although politics could potentially make that harder.
> Chromecasts in general seem like big power hogs...

The original Chromecast product was a stick that ran off a default 10W USB 2 power supply. I don't know what the current ones are drawing, but I'd be pretty surprised if it was any more.

This is a bug with this particular TV, which is running the Chromecast stack on a much less efficient SOC and clearly has some kind of integration bug which is preventing low power idle states. It's got nothing to do with Chromecast (or Android) as a product or protocol. They should fix the bug.

Variants are meant to introduce a tagged union like data structure into C++.

You can do this without variants by manually defining your own unions and managing the tag yourself, but this is very not type safe and requires extra boilerplate code to manage!

Maybe you have never used and don't care about this feature but it's actually pretty useful! Tagged unions make representing certain types of data very elegant, for example nodes of an AST or objects in a dynamic programming language. You can use OOP patterns and dynamic dispatch to represent these things as well, but I think tagged unions are a better fit, and you get to eliminate a virtual method call by using std::visit or switching on the tag.

I suspect that maybe you have never been introduced to sum types in general which is not uncommon! I am curious if you have experience with using them or not?

The defaulted loans are not for STEM careers, that have little trouble paying back, the problem is in humanities, arts, etc. colleges offered useless degrees to people that do not need them except for vanity, without any plan about how to pay for them. This is one of the biggest scams in history.
