Despite how little we know of ancient rites, I am fairly confident that being exposed in a museum or transferred to the storage room of a warehouse is far from the respect expected by the deceased when the burial was arranged, no matter how much care you take.

It’s a kind of value debate that has no definitive answer anyway. I am personally on the side that once dead, the corpse is just a stack of decaying meat which doesn’t command respect in itself. So it’s really a function of respect to the livings to whom the deceased meant something. And this wanes fairly quickly. Perhaps a century or two for a random quidam. Perhaps a few centuries for someone illustrious. But I am not religious either.
Complex engineering seems to need complex economy and stable institutions to sustain knowledge transfer. You just need to loose one generation and suddenly a ton of skill and knowledge is lost.
Better business bureau

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Business_Bureau
Agreed. Linux from scratch pretty much has zero to do with writing an an os from scratch.
BBB == Better Business Bureau a private organization in the US that "rates" business based on certain factors and customer complaints. It is often confused with having some kind of governmental authority, approval, or validity when in reality they just a non-profit trade organization.

Very similar to charity navigator but rating for-profit businesses
What's the point in making something transparent, if it isn't so it can be fixed?
Notably none of the criteria measured in that rating consider their marketing. So yes their policies and filings exist, but those are not what they're presenting to potential donors, so do not prove the ads are not misleading
Yes but that is almost universally true. Buying now is better than buying in 10 years and buying in 10 years is better than buying in 20 years.

I meant the people licking their lips because the prices may drop now, or who specifically waited to buy because the prices will drop
The crucial part of this study is the following quote:
"These results are not applicable to typical buildings, where outdoor-to-indoor air exchange already removes VOCs at a rate that could only be matched by the placement of 10–1000 plants/m2 of a building’s floor space."

In general, the amount of plants needed is just too high to be practical. At least among those plants tested in this study. This also applies to plants commonly sold as "air cleaners" (the common ones were all tested in this study). They do little to nothing for non-sealed rooms. Specific algea may be better suited.
An organization that has the goodwill of the hacker community has to perpetually walk the line on the edge of pauper to maintain its virtue, lest it be seen as selling out and no longer worthy of the goodwill of the hacker community.

It's a bit of a self-defeating attitude. Hackers love scrappy upstarts. Succeed too hard and you cease to be a scrappy upstart.
You'd better support Ubuntu Touch. At least there's some community around it and it already runs on several phones.
I have to say I can't think of a worse outcome than Wikipedia becoming advertising- or subscription-funded.

At best, it will be less useable and more liable to influence once its source of funding is at the behest of advertisers. And with a subscription model, presumably it would then be pay-to-play which is antithetical to the idea of Wikipedia in the first place.

I also don't agree that Wikipedia has to a significant degree departed from "impartiality, openness and academic freedom", or at least I'd need some sources/examples.
What, pray tell, was your point? Surely "leave private companies out of politics" wasn't your point since that's so absurd on its face. After all we're discussing a man who's already sold communication equipment made by his company to fuel the war effort.
JetBrains invites developers to join the Fleet Public Preview Program
That's not really proof of having 1st person contact with anyone. Propaganda has a way of spreading into useful idiots who then carry the message without any clue where it came from.

Except for the very very few who have actual knowledge about things, we're all falling for it. And it's kinda fine, being fully knowledgeable about these things would be a full-time job that not everyone's qualified to do. Besides, most of us have other things to do.
But does the low housing cost make up for the transportation cost?

I think the parent commenter did everyone a massive disservice by breaking housing and transportation into two separate categories since they're fungible with each other the same way time and money are.
Not very often in a way that causes me to decline to review. What happens sometimes is that you have a suspicion but it's not definite. It could be one out of a dozen authors, or a newcomer you've never heard of. I'm in the humanities, however, things probably look different in the natural sciences.
Vocab.ai: the language spreadsheet created using open-source
Yes, but also is that "what you'd expect", why?

Most things I read I have no idea of the sex of the author. Do people even look at author names before they start reading (online, say), and even then they can be nom de plumes, or non-gendered names (sometimes surprisingly).
The Bill Gates-Backed Startup Cleaning Up the Steel Industry
It's western governments fault that they allow exporting trash to foreign countries to be "processed" by companies which are more than likely to just dump eveything into ground or a river. And it is much worse with toxic industrial waste, where it's not just discarded plastic forks and stuff, but actual million of gallons of chemicals that can poison entire water basins.

If recycling or protection of environment in general was the actual goal, we'd never do it. But, in reality, it is mostly just greenwashing and/or protecting just the local environment (who cares if rivers in Poland or China will become toxic, as long as US or Germany or Italy are clean), so "out of sight, out of mind" policy works well.
Sure, there's a lot of mapbox on the native side as well, but that is far more restricted to high profile customers (e.g. the Strava app) than in the browser. At least from my superficial impression, libre forks of mapbox legacy code seem to be far more alive in the subset related to the web than in the subset related to native.

One cause I think is the lure of offline capability: when I'm in the browser I don't mind loading on demand, but as soon as native enters the picture I'll want at least an escape hatch to downloadable maps. And then the Pandora's box of provisioning, backwards and forwards compatibility is wide open and you happily stick to mapsforge or whatever it is you already have.

(ps: and my post above was supposed to start "Wouldn't maps actually" instead of "Wouldn't web actually", but you seem to have read intention instead of words just fine)
> Any power user who really wants a tiled browsing experience can already do it with multiple windows and any number of free window managers out there.

Same is true for tabs.
Suppose you're broke and then some rich guy walks up to you on the street and loudly proclaims "throwing plastic in this river next to us would be terrible! I would never do it! But, would you mind taking this plastic cup for me? I'll pay you $100 to take it! And I don't care what you do with it ;)".

What would you do?
> or prefer not to sue him

The church is/was state property. It wouldn't have been the priest who'd go after him, it'd have been the government department responsible or the police.

> Maybe a statement in jewish marking the church as a sanctuary place, or a few phrases in cyrillic, runes or other foreign language that would be not evident to spot for a non native.

Hebrew would be incredibly unlikely in that between the time the mural is from and 1940, there were very few Jewish people in Norway as a whole, and certainly not in some tiny village in the middle of nowhere. From 1687 to 1814 it required special dispensation from the government for Jewish people to enter Norway at all. From 1814 to 1851 Jewish people were banned from entering by the constitution. After the ban was lifted, few came due to very strict immigration policies in general. By 1940 there were only about 2100 Jewish people in Norway.

Cyrillic writing would be equally unlikely. If it had been up North, maybe, but not in Telemark.

Runes would be more likely to be celebrated than hidden away unless the content was very problematic, and mere references to Norse mythology would not be sufficient; the influence on pre-Christian Norse mythology on Christianity in Norway is rarely hidden away, and during that time, there had been a renewed interest in that heritage. In fact, at that time, about half of all known runic inscriptions in Norway were in churches, and many of them made by or on behalf of priests or bishops. (There was at least one "[priest] was here" type inscription in Telemark - "Áslakr prestr reit rúnar şessar", "Aslak the priest wrote these runes" - originally in Atrå church)

I don't think there has ever been any find of inscriptions in runes in Norway which would have been problematic to find in a church. It's possible, of course, but I don't buy that there'd be this one huge exception, not least because most runic inscriptions are very short.

> or reduce his income

The priest would have been a state employee on a fixed salary. Norway had a state church until 2012, and while there had been independent churches for quite some time by then, none of the older churches like the one in Sauherad would have been. If the priest was in on something it was certainly not for fear of his personal finances.
I'd wondered whether it was a clever ploy to GET me to donate to Wikipedia/media/whatever, what with all the comments ranting in right-wing style. Kind of like Nike or whoever, gesturing to causes they don't really do anything to support, in order to goad political rants against then and elicit a larger backlash and more money they'd have had if they kept quiet.

HBomberguy has a good video on the subject. You can use people ranting about 'wokeness' to make money, and while it's amusing and gratifying to indulge that 'ha, I showed you, I don't agree with your ranting against this thing!' it's engaging in pseudo-political behavior that's in a sense wasted. Throwing more money at Wikipedia isn't really helping them be more woke, it's helping them be better at using that to ask for money.

I'm not actually going to give them money today but that's because I gotta tend to my own affairs: if I had a bunch extra I'd send some Wikipedia's way on the grounds that at least they're annoying the right people?

If it doesn't solve the problem (which it doesn't! Many glaciers are already gone, there's nothing we can do about it), it's not even a bad way, it is just no way to _solve_ the problem.

It's the best way _to not make it worse_. Carbon Capture doesn't save us from making it worse. It can however undo parts of the damage.

The solution isn't to just freeze the status quo, that's what I'm saying.
Refusing to answer questions in a court case is a crime (contempt) unless you have a very strong defence (local right against self incrimination is about the only one). An MP should know that and either accept the consequences or comply...

If you sort primitives then three-way maybe just two two-way comparisons. But when you use lexicographic ordering of strings or of multiple fields, then two-way will need to use three-way comparisons internally to know whether it is done or needs to move on to the next field/character. In this case three-way and two-way comparisons have almost the same cost.

Edit: For primitives we can also consider what happens in the processor. A comparison consists of two parts. First loading the operands and comparing them (loading is the expensive part here), and then a conditional branch instruction. A three-way comparison only loads the operands once and so has the same memory pressure but it does put more stress on the branch predictor. Not quite twice though, because the second branch instruction will only be encountered about half the time, and it will usually take the same path as elements are usually not equal.
I am also a Platform engineer by day and a very heavy user of kubectx, thank you for this excellent tool that has immeasurably improved my k8s workflow!
I agree with everything. To be fair though, the banners are pretty manipulative. They also make you think that Wikipedia is broke and they need urgent funding, which they don't. They almost lie to you so you donate. Explain that you need donations to do more cool stuff with wikipedia and everything's fine. Just be honest.
I’m tall and though it helps with certain things, it’s never enough to clinch a situation on its own.

I’ve heard it all, from dating, promotions, sports, and now fundraising. You still have to have all of the skills at it for anything good to happen.
Man, Wikipedia is like the best website I can think of. No joke.

No silly 25MB framework, no hype, no popup banners (except the donation), no ads, no tracking, doesn't ask to sign up when I scroll down, no paywall...

Hell, I work for a mid-sized company that doesn't even come close to being as useful as Wikipedia and our C-suite earns a million a year.
sadly (as with much work form phd students like I was), the closest one could get to it today is trying to duplicate it.

i.e. combining criu with nilfs (but a lot of the work that we did to get process downtime to minimal numbers requires being in kernel, as described in paper) and unsure criu can do it.

In addition our screenrecording mechanism was our own "proprietary" (not really proprietary as fully described in research papers, but also not a standard) and something that was built as an X display driver 15 years ago (so not directly usable today even if code is available). Could probably duplicate it with vnc based screencasting. vnc didn't work for us as we needed better performance (i.e. it was built to demonstrate remote display of video and games and there was no real remote audio setup back then so we had to create our own).

the "text" search just used gnome's accessible API much like a screenreader would do (with a bit of per application optimizations as can filter out things like menus and the like, primarily was to dump text out of terminals, firefox and perhaps open office and maybe even a pdf reader if memory serves me correctly, but a long time ago).
> so I think you're mistaken.

What exactly do you think I'm mistaken about? The conclusion of your sentence doesn't follow logically from the first clause.

The readers of your comment here know nothing about this macOS project or the contributor who sent you a message. In any case, there's a vast gulf between someone sending you a message and someone actually writing and releasing bad code.
Emails still retain the structure of intra-office memos, something which hasn't existed for at least 20 years. We don't really notice with emails, because the initial real-world analogy became a minor detail of the more technologically evolved system. An optimistic view would be that VR will follow a similar trajectory, and attempts to recreate the real world will eventually give way to real innovations. The idea of the metaverse (and especially Meta's version), though, is so focussed on the real world analogy, I think it's more likely to be a barrier to this kind of innovation than an early version of it.
This isn't a criticism if you state "it ad-hoc leaders are empowered to steer quality and take on adaptive situational roles."

And in contrast to, "centrally consolidated power attempts to shift and contort people and cliques to meet external, largely disinterested expectations and save face" -- the appeal is pretty obvious.
They don't? Why not? Have the unique users peaked? Are people accessing it less?

I'm pretty happy to wager real money that Wikipedia has had to scale significantly in the last ten years.

But, hey, if you've got evidence to the contrary, I'll happily read it.
Wow, you went a long way to make this about race. It’s not even like brown people wrote the article.

Heck, if you want poor countries to be accountable for their own pollution then they shouldn’t be forced to trade with developed countries who don’t want to make any concessions about the use of plastics, but I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t be a popular stance with HN either.
Regarding 1, my own cli runs aws-vault set-up such that I need to enter a totp code to assume a privileged role.

It sounds like really basic security - my saved credential can't go delete servers. Absolutely everyone, from aws certified people to apparently renowned developers have gotten stuck into me over this, with complaints from "I'd quit anywhere that did that" to "bad setup, proper iam never requires mfa". I'm sure there's going to be some form of blow up where long term saved credentials eventually come out as problematic, and it will blow people's minds.

Would be interesting to hear from OP, but I assumed it was a reminder to check ones stereotypes -- eg 'remember women can be good at traditionally male pursuits' (would work for some sports only).
Discussion is only useful when the parties are acting in good faith. It's better to limit discussion to good-faith actors than to allow their transparency to provide camouflage and give the appearance of normality to bad-faith actors who only seek to use the openness of the discussion to execute policies that directly undermine discussion writ large. This has always been the weakness of democracies, and it's always been apparent to and exploited by authoritarian states, and there's no reason whatsoever to allow them to continue to have the pretextual cover of international approval from a body that, in principle, has accepted a declaration of human rights.

TL;DR, the UN's discussions serve now only to grant the veneer of liberal discourse to illiberal states by implying that their collective authoritarian voices should be taken seriously by the democracies, when in fact they should be given no platform whatsoever. Let alone one upon which to expound on human rights!
My first thought given the name was 'does it have anything to do with Google?' (sorry)
I thought there was another name for it, but it seems that the Wait Calculation, is applicable right now, i.e. if we send something now, we might as well wait for X years and send something that's faster and will over take whatever we send now.

During the old forum mafia days message digests were one of the ways people made predictions that you'd reveal later. You would usually tack on something random at the end to make guessing hard.
Let's look at the numbers and compare the 2020-2021 (the latest audited results) financial statements [1] to 2010-2011 [2]. All of this is publicly available as it is for any 501(c)(3) non-profit. Some selected numbers:

2021 2011
Current Assets 208,678,345 20,784,992
Donations 153,096,642 23,020,127
Salaries 67,857,676 7,312,120
Internet Hosting 2,384,439 1,799,943

So the WMF has ballooned in staff. I'm reminded of colleges where the administration keeps inexplicably growing (as do admin salaries). I'm also reminded of the quote: "the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy".

I'm one who is seeing these Wikipedia donation links currently (apparently not everyone is yet) so I'm glad this article raised the issue. The WMF probably has enough assets to run itself on a shoestring budget in perpetuity.

I want Wikimedia, and Wikipedia to be a Neutral historian of world data and events, to preserve facts and promote the free access of those facts to everyone in the world.

They have strayed far far far far far from that goal
Skimming through the comments about how bad is KaiOS has destroyed my pretensions of getting rid of my Android smartphone and use a dumbphone instead.

For me, it would be great to have a simple, privacy oriented phone with a decent camera and, in terms of apps, just maps, Spotify, Telegram, Whatsapp (sadly still having friends/family there) and MFA. (Banking app from the bank I use would be great but that's too much to ask for). I guess the sweet spot is gonna be in a middle range smartphone compatible with Graphene or Lineage and install a minimalistic launcher in it.
Few issues w.r.t real estate:

Prices come down because of interest rates which potentially make the mortgage even more expensive than before
Prices coming down means prices on your current house also go down, so less money available if you wanted to move or "upgrade"
Prices coming down will correspond with job losses so you might not even be able to buy a place because you are looking for a job
Unrealistic expectations that a recession will just lower prices while ignoring the structural problems in the housing market such as the effect of higher interest rates on new home construction or the lack of homes for sale as owners locked up lower interest rates in the past

With that being said, this is overly broad and different markets will operate differently. Home prices may crash in Boise (just making something up here) while remaining flat or increasing in a location like Columbus where I live and housing prices haven't skyrocketed in a similar fashion (yet).

I'm often very unfavorable at government market intervention but this may be a time where the government can step in and build "starter homes" at cost. I guess we could see some startups emerge here but for new entrants it appears that regulation and law are the barriers. Different from established home builders where you build a house that costs X and you sell for Y, but if you make the house larger with "nicer" finishes you can build it for x+10% and sell for y+40% and that's the "barrier" moreso than navigating regulatory frameworks.
