When I moved to Ireland in 2014 I made the mistake of having an Oxbridge accent, and there was quite a few people who did not take kindly to that. One train station attendee put up a gone for lunch sign in my face mid sentence, and it wasn't even past breakfast time. I was being perfectly courteous and was just having some trouble understanding how to charge my leap card.

That's when I realised, Oxbridge is not good if you want people to not instantly dislike you in Ireland.

Wikipedia is a terrible example for the "zero censorship" crowd because stuff gets deleted or locked all the time. It's an example of how you can produce something useful despite a raging ideological battleground over all sorts of topics.

A database of businesses already exists.

Businesses usually have domain names just like they have physical addresses.

If the database were to include the domain names we could make automatic checks to give the user more assurances.

Mods exist and can ban/lock/block people and content but users can see everything that was banned, removed or locked, as well as the reason why; what policy did the user violate?

I think the only exception would be actually illegal content; that should be removed entirely, but maybe keep a note from the mods in its place stating "illegal content".

That way users can actually scrutinise what the mods do and one doesn't wonder whether or not the mods removed a post because they are biased or for ligit reasons, and opinions are not entirely removed, as they are still readable, but you can't respond to them
The EDL were a violent mob that wanted an English enthostate. That very clearly isn’t the conservatives who have been closer to the center than Labour has in the last decade.
>> Twitter (let’s face it we’re talking about Twitter) is not the world

Twitter is popular with journalists, politicians and such. Hence all the attention. For most people, facebook and youtube are the important part.

IMO, youtube is the most important medium today. It's effectively the free-to-air TV of the internet. It has a terrible, clunky, disrespectful and illiberal approach to content moderation. In fact, it's pretty similar to state censorship methods... ambiguous rules, selective enforcement, whipping boys. Makes Twitter look good.

That would not be a proper use of the 406 code, which is specifically about the Accept* headers that the client sent.

My guess would be that whatever abstraction they used ended up with no content produced (because of timeout or whatever) so the framework could not satisfy any of the content types that the client accepts. Still another error would be better but I can see how it could happen.

It's funny how different industry can be, in tech most people love receiving swag it even becomes their entire wardrobe ahah

I mostly don't care about gifts but there is one that had me burst laughing; Company wanted to celebrate "employee appreciation day" or something like that.
We received a big announcement from the CEO with... a 10$ gift card. It's coming from a good sentiment but is my work only appreciated to only 10$ ?? ahah
I can keep my head around it, how can anybody thought it was a good idea, feels so cheap and even unnecessary as we were paid decently. It was definitely net negative for the company but still makes me laugh.

Is an interesting insight into the accents of the new country of the USA.

Its important to remember that the USA has a very different understanding of class compared to the UK.

Its also important to understand that accents change wildly within 50 miles. (sheffield, bolton & leeds are all divergent so are manchester birmingham and liverpool)
I had a think about this.

Example: our PM, a man of Indian heritage (though British) who speaks RP.

An Indian man with a really strong accent is going to be judged as being significantly lower status.

I think it'd be the same pretty much across the scale. Like imagining a Polish software developer vs a builder and the latter would probably have a rougher accent.

A strong southern American accent, etc.
If half of my coworkers got laid off, I'd be running away from the company faster than light. Staying after they pull a stunt like that only means waiting until they pull another one (or the company just collapses from the shock of losing that much capacity).
It's not "Zig spam" to ask, in direct response to a compiler guy who has just stated that they have not tried it yet, whether they plan to. For further context, the video I linked to is Walter showing up to a C++ users group to present a talk about the D compiler infrastructure—again, at a C++ event, for a bunch of C++ programmers. Considering that, if what I've done here by asking the natural follow up question is a faux pas, then I hesitate to conceive of what you must think of those actions by the person I'm asking it of.

Even all that aside, comparing and contrasting contemporaries in a similar space is natural. That's just, like, scholarship, you know? Imagine someone who's defending their thesis responding to a question about alternatives to their research by getting into a big huff about it. That'd be pretty silly, right?

And the comments about "PL tribalism" are a little odd, then, since the most tribalistic behavior we have evidence for in this thread is someone reacting exactly like this. As a fan of Walter's contributions, including D, in the past I've gone so far as to put a non-trivial amount of effort into polishing the articles on D, Walter, and Digital Mars on Wikipedia. Meanwhile, I've never even written a Zig program, dude; if there's a tribe I belong to, it's not Zig.
>>equally on the other side of things the free speech side don't just want to be able to say whatever they want - they want the right to speech in front of people who don't want to hear it.

While I am sure that is true in some circumstances, I believe that is less common than my original statement

>People who don't like moderation on Twitter can go off to gab, gettr, telegram, Truth, 4chan or a tonne of other venues.

All of those sites have various moderation rules, the key difference here is the people that control the moderation are likely of a different political leaning to you so you view them as being "unmoderated" because you do not like the content that is allowed there.

Gab as an example started out as a "free speech" platform, but now has pretty intensive moderation rules especially around Adult content. This cost them alot of good will from Free Speech Absolutists, and libertarians.

>>The person shouting slurs at AOC on twitter isn't satisfied with calling AOC names if they don't think she will see it.

AOC is somewhat of a different case, without addressing your red herring of slurs. AOC is an elected official, as such the bar should be set higher for elected official in that they have an ethical obligation to hear from the people they represent.

> a string could be raw unknown bytes, verified UTF-8, or UCS-2 (or even UTF-16 or UCS-4)

Agreed. My future perfect programming language has the predefined types 'ascii', 'utf-8', 'url', 'base64', etc. for misc kinds of character sequences.

Just like how raw bits are different from numerals: short vs byte, word vs int, 64-bits vs double, etc.

(Any one have a better naming system for 8, 16, 32, and 64 bit chunks of raw data? 'byte', 'word', 'doubleword', 'quadword'?)

Per this "ridonkulously hard" OC article, I'll also ponder predefined types for raw 'html5', 'json', etc (as in unparsed, char sequence vs DOM).

> Perl was early with its concept of “tainted” strings.

Not being a Perl dev, I'm unfamiliar with "taint". Quickly found articles like this: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/perl-taint-method/

In my future perfect language, char seqs cannot be cast. They must be converted. Basically syntactic sugar for Java-style char encoding infrastructure.

I have assumed that disallowing casting was sufficient. But now I'll have to ponder "taint" too. From the hip, I really like the notion of tracking the provenance of data, a la defensive programming.

Great idea. Thanks.
You cut out the important bit in his statement: "that involve regular congregations". And you didn't even put in a "[...]" to indicate your editing.

I would hazard a guess the removed bit is actually very important, because having a social network has been shown to improve lives: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=social+network+and+old+age&ia=web (hopefully that's enough citation), and regularly showing up to congregation is probably a huge step in having a social network.
as a German guy who had the outside look in living in the UK for a while, not really. A lot of the markers of class that Brits are used to picking up just don't really apply.

That said I found it absolutely wild how much of a sixth sense Brits have to figure out where someone hails from. And also the extent to which people unlearn behaviors.
It’s only absurd due to the insistence of adding qualifiers to an official citizenship. We might as well say that Gaudi was Earthling European Spanish Catalan Cadaquesian. His citizenship was Spanish, his culture multidimensional. As stated above, this tag is a compromise due to political movements endlessly changing it.

The worst gift I've received from work was a $100 digital multi-store gift card. It probably seemed like such a reasonable thing to give (and I even liked it at first, too). Unfortunately, it turned out to be really difficult to redeem it in full for the combinations of things I would like at the places where it's redeemable.

I'm fairly sure I've already spent more than $100 in my time on trying to use it. So in a sense, I was gifted negative money. When I realised this I ended up throwing it in the rubbish bin.

It would have been so much more efficient for everyone involved to just send me an extra $100 in cash. Put it in an envelope with a fancy card if you want to make it special. But eh, gotta feed the gift card business.
> No mobile apps did (not surprised) but what did surprise me was 98% of the OpenSSL versions included in these apps were vulnerable to older CVEs.

Just the openssl version is not enough, since it could be patched to fix vulnerabilities without increasing the version (this is very common on Linux distributions, which often apply security patches instead of migrating to a new version; for instance, Fedora released a patched 3.0.5 instead of going to 3.0.7).

And using an older openssl version does not necessarily mean it's using vulnerable code; according to your blog post, the most common use is SQLCipher, which from a quick look at its README.md seems to use openssl only for the encryption algorithms. Unless the vulnerability was on the basic algorithms used (AES, HMAC, etc), it won't affect this usage.

Growing up in the 1980s, I could tell from their accent whether a child came from Oakham (where I lived), Whissendine (five miles away), or Melton Mowbray (five miles beyond that).

30/40 years later the differences are still there, but increasingly ironed out by the spread of a generic southern English accent. Where I now live in rural Oxfordshire, the traditional local accent is a definite minority, particularly in those under 40. There are little tell-tale vowels and phrases if you look closely for them, but they're more like variations on a common accent.

That said, Midlands and northern accents seem to be fairly resilient, at least for now.
What database are you referring to? Is there an international database for all businesses registered in every single country that everyone universally signs up for when they incorporate?
This also presumes the site being 'moderated' is operating in a vacuum.

The reason why moderation exists on sites like Twitter / Facebook is due to:
1. Laws (e.g. child porn, abuse, harassment, illegal speech like Tiananmen square in China).
2. Advertisers - the real customers.
3. Public opinion

In that order, with a pretty big gap between #2 and #3. Don't comply with laws? Out of business tomorrow. Don't do what advertisers want? Out of business this year. Don't do what the general public wants? Maybe out of business in a few years, maybe not, it depends.

The methods proposed in this post are great for dealing with issues around public opinion, but do very little to appease governments or advertisers.
https://www2.telegeography.com/submarine-cable-faqs-frequent...

"Don't these cables ever break?
Yes! Cable faults are common. On average, there are over 100 each year.

You rarely hear about these cable faults because most companies that use cables follow a “safety in numbers” approach to usage, spreading their networks' capacity over multiple cables so that if one breaks, their network will run smoothly over other cables while service is restored on the damaged one.

Accidents like fishing vessels and ships dragging anchors account for two-thirds of all cable faults. Environmental factors like earthquakes also contribute to damage. Less commonly, underwater components can fail. Deliberate sabotage and shark bites are exceedingly rare. "
> I am honestly surprised that BBC needed a survey for that.

Obviously they don't, what they need is to occasionally justify activity to redress the well-known imbalance. One might argue this need is at its highest, in a climate where the last 5 prime ministers are Oxford graduates.
I agree. RP is part of an identity. One which can be adopted.

In fact, I'd probably go as far as to say that one of the reasons it has the cachet it does is precisely because of that, because of what it's not.
Having grown up in Central Texas, I absolutely have a Texas drawl in my back pocket whenever I want it, but generally my accent is just standard American + overuse of "y'all". The drawl comes out usually for comedic effect or if I recently talked to my dad on the phone. I don't think I've considered either aspect of my accent advantageous. I might feel differently if my accent was deeply southern, however.
I'm new to this game and I have no idea what this means - so I guess I avoided the spoiler...
What error would you expect when making a non-teapot request to a teapot device on your network?
For harsh environments, I think the best would be to have the burning material being pushed out with pressure. Gas.

Zippo has a lighter with gas-inset. I remember seeing one without a Firestone, but with a spiral that glows.

I may be wrong about zippo, but can tell you, all the lighters without a Firestone & with gas can be used in full wind and rain. I used them frequently in my young years. Also, they come in handy with lighting up fireworks. Perfect!

When you Google "Sturmfeuerzeug", you'll see pictures as examples. From then on, you can search for a fitting one for you.

aye, peace :)

Most of them are disposable, but refillable.

Also, there are some gasless lighters for cigarettes with only a spiral that glows..

Rust uses fat-pointers to references and raw pointers to dynamically sized types (DSTs) – slices or trait objects. A fat pointer contains a pointer plus some information that makes the DST "complete" (e.g. the length, or in the case of trait objects, the additional data is a pointer to the vtable).

Generally, you have, under control, where you store your fat-pointer.
That's how it would work if we remove advertising. But is there any chance of removing advertising from the world? I don't think so. What's happening instead is that a big player like Apple is using their existing base (iDevices) to build its own advertising platform and weaken rivals in the advertising business.

The fact is, you've got a widely-understood marker that is used to distinguish which class you belong to and a common understanding that a member of one class does not belong among members of another. The direction of hostility in your example doesn't really change things. Think about it - it's fairly common for members of the working class to resent those in the upper classes who rule them. But as kids you probably weren't thinking about what class you belonged to, or about any tensions between different classes and their origins. You just knew "the posh boy doesn't belong here" - and you picked all those things up without being explicitly told them because the UK deeply classist

The resentment may go both ways, but the effect is completely different. Some children in a mining town making fun of some visiting kid’s posh accent is probably unpleasant for the kid. Adults from that mining town being on the receiving end of class-based discrimination (whether conscious or subconscious) when being evaluated for university applications, job interviews, salary reviews or promotions is something else entirely.

The fact that the biomass of bacteria is an order of magnitude larger than the biomass of all eukaryotic life, including all animals with brains, shows that intelligence is not necessary for long-term evolutionary success.

What bacteria lack is an ability to build a starship and travel outside their gravity well. This may strictly require intelligence in life forms which are able to colonize a neighboring celestial body.

Dark patterns are now mostly just used to manipulate people, and attenuate conduct to fall into line with group think biases. This policy drives up engagement, traffic, and profits.

Perhaps! But calling the current constitutional arrangements that favour Catalonia or the Basque country over other regions of the country a lack of respect is some mental gymnastics.
