> The point is not to keep politics out of universities, there is no reason for that, but to keep bad faith actors out of them.

When we talk about these obviously bad actors, are we talking people like Socrates and Galileo? Or are we keeping to strictly political undesirables like Assange, Snowden and the whiny pacifists who nobody likes?

The words you use are dangerously vague and you aren't calling for observable, thoughtful standards.

No, I've made a substantive observation about the point actually at issue: you implied that every country necessarily has immigration controls at its border, which in fact is not true.

You had tried to support that claim by making an analogy with biological cells, and it pleased me that in fact my counter-point fits into that analogy, but it doesn't really matter: if it turns out that the cell-analogue of "every country has to have immigration controls at its border" is true, all that means is that cells were a bad analogy because, again, it is simply not true that every country needs immigration controls at its border.

I am not a cell biologist so this might be wrong, but my understanding is that cell membranes are in fact permeable to water and don't have any particular ability to regulate the movement of water in and out of the cell. The rate at which that happens will be affected by e.g. concentration of solutes on each side, but it's not a thing a typical cell has mechanisms for controlling. I think there are such mechanisms in some cells in the kidney, but AIUI while most (all?) cells have aquaporins there's nothing adjusting their permeability. But, once again, while this is all interesting in its own right it tells us nothing about what countries can, or do, or should regulate. If some researcher makes a stunning discovery that overturns our understanding of what cell membranes do, the appropriate adjustment in national-border regulation will be zero.

Nature would have us dying in childbirth (as babies and mothers), most times we get injured, and in brutal generational raids. Once you agree to birthing forceps and antibiotics we've established the kind of person you are, and move on to negotiating the price.
Sure, but the current problem is workers are retiring faster than we can replace them with workers from younger generations. Bring in a bunch of immigrants in their early 20s and let them contribute for 40+ years, reproduce (immigrants historically have more children than native-born), and the problem gets a lot smaller, if not completely solved.

There are quite a few knobs we can turn to keep the SS program solvent. The conservative push to disband the whole system in favor of private savings is one of the most dramatic. And likely to put us back to the 1920s, with those unable to work, wether by age or disability, becoming destitute. That's not a state of affairs we should strive to reproduce, IMO.
My dad gave me a copy of K&R when I was a senior in high school and that was quite the spiral into developing my love for computers even more. A true classic.
One of my favorite incidents involving free speech happened several years ago, and had an MIT connection.

Some alt-right people organized a big so-called "Free Speech Rally" in Boston, perhaps as a Trump-emboldened show of force, or publicity effort.

But a massive number of counter-demonstrators turned out (including many students and staff from MIT), dwarfing the alt-right people by orders of magnitude, and basically told them "no", in so many accents.

"The answer to offensive speech is more speech" doesn't always work that well, nor that literally. And some kinds of speech in a university environment will sometimes call for listening and dialogue, unlike that one demonstration.

But that one day, the alt-right people didn't seem to have genuine dialogue in mind, and it was the free speech that they called for (perhaps cynically and disingenuously) that corrected their particular argument.

The modules system is not a blocker for migration at all. At this point, it is completely optional to enable it.

What indeed caused breakage was the encapsulation effort that blocks unrestricted access to JVM internals, and that one was not even fully and forcibly turned on until Java 17.

I find electron apps absolutely horrendous to use. The apps I use most are Zim, QtCreator, Strawberry, and the KDE apps: Okular, etc. - most of the time when I remote ssh it's for pavucontrol-qt, dolphin (the file manager) or mainly the app I develop, https://ossia.io (for instance for working on a show that is taking place over a raspberry pi). None of those force any kind of GPU rendering.

Also apps that do gpu rendering make my laptop really heat up and loose battery quickly compared to when it's not in use - I don't use a compositor partly for this (+ the occasional frame lag)

Most of the time I let the personal attacks slide, but then those threads you seem to never see (because I never see these moderation responses when I do). My responses on the other hand will always be crass enough to get your attention.

So in either case I guess I just have to eat shit. Great community that you've got here.

Yes. The hash of the application code and the 256 bit Unique Device Secret is hashed to generate a primary secret, which then the application can use to derive the secrets it needs.

You can additionally supply a secret from the host (the User Supplied Secret). This means that the keys generated are tied to the specific device (the UDS), that the integrity of the application is correct, and to you as a user.

I think most people understand why the WSL2 approach eventually won out, and its saved my bacon more times than I can count when I had to demo something and it breaks on my Mac only for me to quickly switch to "real" linux on my personal windows machine running WSL2.

Ethereum's PoS also pays only a tenth as much reward as Bitcoin, as a percentage of total supply.

According to whattomine.com, with an electricity cost of $0.03/kWh your cost is about 2/3 of the Bitcoin reward. Combined with a 10X higher reward, that means a Bitcoin miner with that electricity cost gets about three times as much return on investment, as a percentage basis, as an Ethereum staker. That's money they can reinvest in new mining equipment.

Since Smalltalk-76 introduced[1] doesNotUnderstand: ?

I understand you didn’t really ask a question, but then I didn’t really give an answer (though the article’s discussion is fairly interesting). I guess my point is that there’s a distinction between a facility one finds unintuitive and a facility that’s newfangled and (therefore) outrageous. Even when the first category probably includes a good number of outright stupid ones.

Code Annotations are data (code = data). Data which is used in a function (side-effect-free) which validate a record. I do not know how more functional a generic purpose validation function can be.

The problem for people, is that they do not like the place where the function is called and side effects are applied. In your typical Java/C#/... OO framework, this function is called two or three stack frames down into the framework. And here the author's point of Java/C# culture has its point.
There are many knobs we can turn. Increasing taxes on everybody is the "easy" one. We can reduce benefit payments. We can increase retirement age. We can remove the income max (income over $137k isn't taxed). We can import labor. Thee point is, SS only runs out of money if we allow it to do so. There is no law of nature that requires SS to become insolvent any time within our lives.

The typical conservative plan is to abolish SS and replace it with private savings. We tried that. It didn't work. Low income earners don't always have the capacity to save at the levels required to avoid destitution in old age or disability.

> It was written by a bunch of men who had just used guns they had lying around their farms to form militias and overthrow their government.

One of the catalysts to writing the Constitution in the first place was when a bunch of former soldiers took the guns they had lying around, tried to seize government munitions, and overthrow the Massachusetts government. The federal government couldn't raise an army to put down Shay's rebellion, and had to use local/private militia.

So it cuts both ways.

Effective propaganda is one of the US's strongest competitive advantages - extensive and well funded national security apparatus, think tanks with global reach, compliant media publishers with global reach and big tech platforms used throughout the world, which can amplify and dampen messages, based on whether they suit US foreign policy objectives. We should celebrate this full spectrum narrative control, not 'investigate' it.
I'm not a Haskell programmer yet but from what I understand it's basically just function composition, with the condition that the functions return some kind of Functor.

In normal function composition, let's say you have function `tostr` that converts a boolean to string, and function `strlen` that computes the length of the string.

They have the ff. signatures:

tostr :: boolean -> string

strlen :: string -> number

If you compose these two functions, where you `tostr` then `strlen`, then the resulting function will have the ff. signature:

composed :: boolean -> number

Now let's suppose that `tostr` and `strlen` both return a Maybe monad, with the ff. signatures:

tostr :: boolean -> Maybe string

strlen :: string -> Maybe number

This is where the fish operator helps, because if we compose it normally it doesn't work because `strlen` expects a string, not a Maybe string. The fish operator will automatically unwrap the value, resulting in the ff. signature:

mcomposed :: boolean -> Maybe number

With X11 it's quite simple to change all possible trackpad options through a single text file with libinput e.g.

cat > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf << EOF

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Touchpad Settings"
MatchDriver "libinput"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "NaturalScrolling" "true"
Option "Tapping" "true"
Option "TappingDrag" "true"
Option "TappingDragLock" "true"
EndSection

EOF

For a full listing of options:

man libinput

The same driver is used for wayland but I don't know how you configure it there, it will no doubt be possible to do something similar with a single text file config.

I think the problem is that most UI tools like gnome settings do not expose the full range of possibilities because it's too much effort.

[EDIT]

Ouch, so i'm wrong, there is no equivalend in wayland. I know wayland has no concept of a display server but this really sucks for configurability [0]:

> For Wayland, there is no libinput configuration file. The configurable options depend on the progress of your desktop environment's support for them; see #Graphical tools.

This means there is no built in way to configure libinput without your DE/WM supporting it or other tools like libinput-config as the sibling comment points out.

The thing that has improved my writing the most, both code and text, is training my "Inner Rubber Duck".

If you're talking about shipping a singular rectangular region across the network, possibly. Yet not all windows are rectangular and many applications use more than one window.

It is not a trivial UX problem.

I really don't like Quarkus approach. It's full of magic. It's everything I'd love to get rid of. I'm using Spring which is kind of full of magic but I spent 15 years learning to deal with this magic, so it's bearable to me. But it does not mean that I like it.

I liked Helidon SE approach (not MP, MP is the same EE crap). It's 100% code, no magic. What I didn't like is reactive, I don't need reactive, so I don't use Helidon SE for my projects, I still endure Spring. But if someone enjoys reactive programming and wants zero-magic approach, I can recommend it.

Helidon Nima might be a saviour to me. I didn't research it yet.
Youtube didn't change - browsers did. Embed loads plugin content: browsers broadly moved away from plugins (they'll still technically work if you feel like jumping through installation hoops as a user but they're not maintained and not broadly preinstalled as they used to be).

During this broad migration by the browser community away from supporting plugins within embed tags, there was likely some audits of how widely they were relied upon across the web, and compat hacks put in place to account for the most common uses.

It's very likely Youtube removed endpoints after the browser hacks were in place for some time.
