This has happened time and time again, but maybe it hasn't happened to speakers of the English language in a longer time and this is remarkable. My German grandma wrote in a style called Sütterlin that neither I nor my parents could read but she learned in school. I'm able to read blackletter/gothic script which must gen x people cannot read just because my parents had a lot of old books and I wanted to read an old print of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. There already was little practical value in being able to read that back then and I'd rather see young people put that every towards a foreign language, literature, philosophy or math or computer skills. The only time I notes read blackletter is to translate ancestry documents for my wife.
For me, it's vim editing latex files, with git for version control. Others might choose emacs as an editor, but the other decisions are pretty common in my field (physical science).
GTA Online seems to encourage a very unusual kind of contempt.
Rage in games is not uncommon, but here it's as if it's the default mode of play.

PvP usually starts out of spite (eg. Player A kills Player B out of boredom) and then turns into pissing matches over who has bought the most expensive toys. The end-game is literally a Microtransaction that instantly kills anyone for 7€ real Money.
I think the only way to ensure these protections is that the digital currency has the ability to do 3rd party transactions through decentralized payments. Even a constitutional amendment is not enough to protect the consumer. The information made available through digital transactions is likely to be abused in some manner.

Most sports are not as “brainless” as running, and by that I mean so thoroughly dominated by solely physical traits. It’s simplistic and patriarchal to reduce the logic to “because men are ~10% faster than women (or stronger or whatever), they are superior in all aspects of sport”. You can partly judge this by the efficacy of steroids or other enhancers for a given sport/position: juice up all you want but it won’t make you a competitive 3-point shooter.

Tom Brady is the ultimate example of being thoroughly unexceptional physically yet transcending his sport via mental acumen. But even for normal players it’s possible to have a wide range of roles and body types working together: hockey can have small guys and big guys play together and somehow they each contribute in their own way.

You mention the idea of “most obvious, logical and natural peers”, but from a first principles perspective that would immediately lead one to find peers who produce similar outputs during play regardless of inputs. Or should we make basketball teams solely of the tallest kids in a school regardless of their level of athleticism because that seems more logical?

Ultimately it seems like there’s a lot of confirmation bias going on that propagates the status quo and discards consistent counterexamples as black swans. I can easily imagine a different world where people can compete at the level they feel is the right intensity/skill/etc for themselves (or as judged by others via fair tryouts). Boys already do this with house/travel or intramural/club/varsity and no one worries that the ones who aren’t genetic lottery winners are going to get pummeled or embarrassed or whatever. You would just need to field as many teams as there as interested players, regardless of sex, and you’d have the same level of opportunity for everyone.
Yes, UK educated here and I’ve literally never heard of “cursive” (other than from Americans). Just “joined up handwriting” that we learnt in primary school in those books with ascent/descent lines, which certainly seems to be a lot simpler than American cursive.

Oh completely agree. But to put this in the context of the current argument, the solution (from Twitter's perspective) would be to ban the net center accounts. And I don't think Twitter banning Net Centers would have "silenced" Jimmy Morales, for example.

Social media can definitely be used to silence people, but I don't think that's mostly what's happening (for the most part) wrt big tech banning certain controversial content on their platforms.
The Siege of Gondor, Part I: Professionals Talk Logistics (2019)
As context, part of the first paragraph from the authors site:

> This is the first part of a six-part (II, III, IV, V, VI) series I expect to roll out taking a historian’s look at the Siege of Gondor in Peter Jackson’s Return of the King. We’re going to discuss how historically plausible the sequence of events is and, in the process, talk a fair bit about how pre-gunpowder siege warfare works.
We know more about changes at the elite level because the archaeological and literary evidence favors it and yes there was a significant shift in patronage but the Bhakti movements grew at the popular level too.

Buddhism in that time and place was entirely monastic. If you were a layman you could support the sangha but you kept your existing dharmic commitments. You were not exclusively “Buddhist” unless you became a monk. Also it seems the condition of nuns had become rather bad.

Shaivism etc. by contrast had a complete path that addressed worldly concerns as well as liberation, for householders as well as ascetics and accessible to men and women of all castes.
At least the community won the funding. Out where my company operates (eastern Ontario), the province just gifted C$483 million to the incumbent in a program (AHSIP - see link below) that was structured such a way that it was impossible for smaller carriers to participating in the reverse auction.

A consumer-accessible digital dollar that works the way the article describes—with consumers and businesses holding accounts directly at the Federal Reserve—will amount to a nationalization of much of the consumer and commercial banking industries.

What business could possibly justify keeping a bank account when bank accounts are insured only to $250,000, and digital dollars are backed by the federal government to an unlimited degree?

What consumer will keep their bank accounts open, paying monthly maintenance fees and high transaction fees, when a free or low-cost option is available instead?

If the Fed’s digital dollar is actually worth using, businesses and consumers will withdraw their money from bank accounts en masse to move that money into cheaper and safer federal reserve accounts.

In other words, the introduction of a Federal Reserve digital dollar will result in a massive bank run the likes of which are almost unimaginable, simultaneously across the entire sector. Even if a substantial number of bank customers initially choose not to move their money, enough will choose to do so to make the operation of many (if not most) banks economically unviable. More than one bank will fail, which will cause real pain felt by ordinary people. The banks that don’t fail will effectively transfer much of their business over to the Federal Reserve.

Janet Yellen’s justification for this initiative is that payments today are too expensive. She may be right.

Who here, though, thinks that the solution to that pricing problem is a disorderly nationalization of the United States banking system, as well as that of much of the world, by the United States government?

Who thinks that the risks of a disorderly restructuring of the entire banking sector are worth it? Is there not some other way to achieve the same goals?

Also, in the same way that old English is now strictly the domain of its academia, do we need to teach cursive to all?
It does naively seem like a central library like glibc would want to run regression integration tests on every new version to make sure they're not breaking the utterly massive ocean of software that depends on them, and that the very obvious first step in that direction would be to run tests using software from the same group and/or core libraries/software that they know are required for a lot of base systems to work (ex. GNU coreutils, GCC, clang, busybox). I suspect it does in fact mostly boil down to resourcing problems - although that just begs further questions, since I would expect that organizations like Google or Red Hat would consider that kind of thing important enough to support.
Theoretically a company that's making $20m/year on this can afford to make it worth someone's while to come in and fix it. The problem isn't finding someone who will do it, it's that the company assumes they can continue to get by indefinitely on paying too little.
I have noticed here for a period of time some people posting blog posts about their way to take note, I think it's about directing traffic to their blogs, and building klout, probably the biggest contribution of those posters is to make sure you know which blog url you can blacklist as they have nothing to say and just build clickbait, so I am thankful for that

I use fountain pens in my daily life and don't touch cursive (although my handwriting has some elements of it). It's a misconception that cursive was made for fountain pens.

Rather, cursive evolved because it was faster to scrawl words onto paper without lifting up the pen, and the formal version taught in schools was essentially a prescriptivist version of a quick scrawl. It was invented to help you write faster.

In particular, I've heard the myth that if you lift a fountain pen up, it might drip on the paper, so it's better to write in one continuous motion. Fountain pens haven't been leaky for the last few hundred years (when well-maintained). By contrast, ballpoints used to leak tons of ink before precision manufacturing and plastics became cheap.
I honestly feel like part of it is just that the site sometimes feels like abandonware. That is, it's still running but older cruft is still there (like how you can add AOL Instant Messenger to your profile page) and there are many parts of the site that just don't seem vital and alive. Some of that has to do with a smaller userbase, but some of it also has to do with determining whose job it is to really stay on top of things like that, having the site under active development instead of just reactive "fix what breaks and do backups/updates" sort of things.

The last few years, maybe since 2016 really in some ways, have been really difficult on the site and people got used to more of a siege mentality in terms of managing megathreads, and very limited resources (human and otherwise) and that's a tough set of habits to turn around.
I think you're missing the point.

In fact, while I don't want to be mean, you're missing two or possibly three different points... among which are the reasons I posted this link.

[1] It's not that TOS is less advanced than AmigaOS. Yes it is, and anyone who knows them realises that, but that's not the issue here. The issue is that this FOSS project has brought these two platforms together after about 35 years, and that's both really technologically impressive and also just plain fun.

[2] It means in principle that Amiga owners can run Atari apps, and the ST had some impressive apps.

[3] AROS is great but it's an x86 OS. It doesn't readily run on classic Amigas, or even especially well on the handful of later PowerPC Amigas, AFAIK. It also doesn't run natively on modern RISC hardware, like say the Raspberry Pi.

[4] But because it doesn't, that's prompted the creation of another really cool
FOSS project, Emu68 -- a native 68K emulation environment for Arm, something comparable to Apple's nanokernel for running Classic MacOS on PowerMacs.

https://github.com/michalsc/Emu68

[5] Creating an OS that's as good or even better than the original while running on original hardware is impressive. Improved localisation opens it up to more people. That's good. It enables reviving vintage kit more easily, and expanding it. That's great.

You were so busy mocking something that you didn't stop to consider all the good sides.

[6] We know TOS was limited. We all know that. OTOH its simplicity enabled this. Its simplicity also was part of why the ST survived as a musicians' tool of choice for decades after it went out of production: super low latencies for music, and so on.

But others knew that TOS was limited, which drove a 3rd party OS market, with products such as MagiC:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagiC

And MagiC is now FOSS:

https://gitlab.com/AndreasK/Atari-Mac-MagiC-Sources

Which is good, but OTOH, it's not attracted much interest or development, AFAICS...

Whereas EmuTOS is now on v 1.21 and is seeing new releases several times a year. This is great, and is one reason I posted it.

[7] The limitations of TOS are also what prompted the development of MINT, and that's FOSS too, and it's quite mature:

https://github.com/totalspectrum/atari-mint

And it has distros, such as AFROS:

https://aranym.github.io/afros.html

Which you can run on x86 kit:

https://aranym.github.io/

All of which is amazing work.

So, yes, while you just wanted to do some advocacy, you missed a huge amount of great work by a committed community.

Not cool, dude.

Leave the Amiga-v-ST hate in the 1980s where it belonged. It wasn't very welcome then. They're both great computers. But hey, then the fans were children, so they can be excused.

In 2022, they can't.

Having stuff in writing is essential, for accountability on all sides. The exact format does not matter, neither does what passes as a signature in a company. My example was for broadest possible applicability. The point is the willingness to commit to something in writing and to take the time to reflect on the implications of doing so. If you cannot get that, you’ve already lost. There will be moving targets.

It’s interesting to see how all responses focus on the signature part as problematic due to its supposed formality. Is this an American work culture thing? I see signing off on an agreement as a signal of professional conduct and reliability.
That is a lot of faith and trust to put in the governing institutions. Even if this is not abused immediately, the temptation to do so somewhere down the line pretty much makes it inevitable. Cash may be imperfect and not technologically convenient, but it does offer the ability of third-party transactions to remain private.
Old timers will recall that when Java first became popular in the mid 90s it brought to light all sorts of bugs in various operating systems' thread implementations - particularly in SunOS/Solaris. It is discouraging that such basic bugs still exist in GNU/Linux after 25 years. But it's not surprising - if anyone tells you that they understand all possible multi-threaded scenarios and race conditions in the implementation of these libraries - they are mistaken. It's all trial and error.

To clarify my question further, "tit for tat" is an effective strategy in game theory. If China bans US social media companies, the optimum response from the US should be to ban Chinese social media companies. Trump went through a convoluted process rather than outright banning TikTok and then gave up. So I wonder whether there are any legal limits that stops US from banning TikTok.
> Why? Because the claim is that they both dominate C++, i.e. they catch all the bugs that you'd catch in C++ plus more. They both make more sound guarantees, and their readability is no worse.

You're talking about rigor but you keep making these laughably strong claims. This one is an extraordinary one, and it's most likely also false just because I'm pretty convinced that copy/move constructors can make some (rare) patterns much simpler and as such avoid bugs in practice. It's not clear if copy/move constructors are a net win, and the overall effect is almost certainly minimal anyway, but that's enough to refute the domination claim.

> I don't understand.

That's the key. And you don't want to understand, I'm afraid.
Oh, that's fair. I was questioning the reasonableness of having 17k emails but you're right, the software should be able to support it.

>Stop Buying Male-to-Male Extension Cords

I wasn't about to start buying them anyway.

Next time we have an extended power outage I'm going to go ahead and cut the female ends off of two extension cords again, and correctly connect them into one length using wire nuts.

Just like after hurricane Ike.

You want the generator to be a good distance away from your building, using adequate gage copper in the cord to compensate for extended length.

Ideally the building has a useful outdoor power outlet normally used for things like gardening tools, which can be correctly repurposed as an "inlet" during off-grid operation. Slight physical rewiring at the breaker box may be needed especially to account for multi-phase operation.

Power tapped from inside the building is then still protected by two circuit breakers which are expected to be properly sized for the normal service.

So about 15 or 20 Amps which is not the biggest generator.
Theoretically that's true: the feature is there and the default is "Auto." Alas, channel autodetection turns out to be pretty bad, even on modern implementations like the TP-Link Archer series.

https://superuser.com/questions/1311149/why-do-wifi-routers-... has why. Basically, it's not dynamic enough. Sometimes that's because they didn't bother implementing channel changes at runtime, so it decides at boot and sticks with that for what could be months.

What are you talking about? Do you think we still own slaves and prohibit women from voting in the United States? Updates to the constitution are exactly why neither of those things is true. These updates are called amendments, and the constitution itself outlines that process. In 250 years, we've passed 27 amendments. The most recent amendment passed in 1992. Pretending even the most strict constructionist treats the constitution as an immutable document is just ignorant.

Images AI Can't Generate?
I just thought about the human process of creating art. Images painted or drawn.

A human is perfectly able to stop half way. I wasn't able to create such an image with stable diffusion.
The closest was a sketch pad with an half drawn image on it, but the image still was complete.

It seems to me that this is something an AI is not able to. And all the steps in between of how to create a drawing.

I know it is because it isn't trained to do that, but in my opinion it really show how little knowledge these systems actually have.

What do you think?
This gets even more quirky in busybox/ash especially if using `rm -Rf some_dir`. I think the function needs a more distinct name to protect rm use cases and avoid having to prefix wth \rm. maybe something like "function trash"
Yeah this is a good point. Compelled speech is a pretty new and undeveloped doctrine with unclear boundaries.

The Court tends to defer to history as a way of understanding how the framers viewed an issue so things like compelled testimony would likely be safe. My pet thought experiment is challenging the requirement to answer the census, particularly with it's much-expanded survey questions. Perhaps I can be compelled to say where I live and who lives with me, but can I be compelled to answer questions like whether any of us are gay?
