The problem is that "changing the law" usually changes the legality of more than just the specific situation at hand.

So a law banning "my tarot cards tell me person X is a murderer" may also ban "I've carefully reviewed all the evidence, and I think person X is a murderer" where this is a reasonable accusation. And we can go from murder to "rape" or "abuse" etc.

You need to be very careful with this kind of stuff; in this particular case, yeah, I agree that it probably should be illegal. But at the same time: what else would this also make illegal, and wouldn't the cure be worse than the disease?
With the proviso that this all depends on the shape of your data, I think a single JSON document field us usually the right choice for anything that smells of content management. Relational database schemas become very complex very quickly when you strive for full normalization and that complexity is simply not worth worrying about until you have more data than RAM in a machine.

Nit pick: it's not "actions" impacting others. It's when person A exercises their rights to impede anothers. This kind of argumentation that cloud providers don't provide conduit or extenders for free speech is pretty lost on me, but I'm also of the opinion that all of these services should be highly regulated or government owned so that these silly pedantic, and at times opportunistic, arguments stop. It's become the wedge issue of the internet.

I've had to roll my wife off of our dog before, and she doesn't take sleep medication or drink. The dog would have been able to protest enough to get her to stir on her own, and probably has - I was just coming to bed at the time.

> When the PDP-11 arrived, B was moved to it almost immediately. In fact, a version of the multi-precision `desk calculator' program dc was one of the earliest programs to run on the PDP-11, well before the disk arrived. However, B did not take over instantly. Only passing thought was given to rewriting the operating system in B rather than assembler, and the same was true of most of the utilities. Even the assembler was rewritten in assembler. This approach was taken mainly because of the slowness of the interpretive code. Of smaller but still real importance was the mismatch of the word-oriented B language with the byte-addressed PDP-11.

The main advantage of Forth is that it can be put in some very small places and run impressively fast.

> NC4016 (formerly NC4000) was a 16-bit stack machine microprocessor designed by Novix in 1985 primarily for the Forth programming language. The NC4016 directly executes the primitives of the high-level Forth programming language. The NC4016 was capable of executing typical Forth programs as much as 20 times faster than the Motorola 68000. Novix also offered the NC4000 Small C Compiler which was compatible with the NC4016 microprocessor.

> In 1988, the NC4016 design was licensed and improved by Harris Semiconductor which later rebranded the chip as the RTX2000, a radiation hardened version suitable for spacecrafts use.

> see no evidence for that. It is a cost, but not the cost.

Because you are not looking. The fact that spacex is having to spend engineering time at all making improvements to operate in an actively jammed environment means software and possibly hardware engineering resources not being spent on scaling the network, working on their next gen constellation, etc. For a company that runs as lean as SpaceX on engineering headcount (based on reading Blind and Glassdoor reviews), that opportunity cost is easily tens of millions of dollars.

You’re also drastically misunderstanding the lifetime and duty cycles of LEO sats. Those things have to have time to dump heat and charge their batteries.

Punk Fashion icon Dame Vivienne Westwood dead at 81
I have a sample size of 2:

First kid slept through the while night immediately after coming home from hospital. When we proudly told pediatrician this at first checkup they became alarmed (even though weight gain was normal) and requested we wake him up every 4h. Very hard to wake him. Next checkup pediatrician says to wake him with wet washcloth. Still hard to wake, so we quit trying to wake him and enjoyed nearly 2 years of sleeping at night until kid #2: wouldn't go to sleep and continued not going to sleep until age 8.

Yes indeed a structured environment and teacher would be best… another reason is that self-guided learning also tends to run out of steam/motivation more easily. But it's not as if there's an abundance of classes (online or otherwise) for Latin.

Apart from what others have said about their experience learning Latin from LLPSI, a couple of other points:

• Using the book does not necessarily preclude looking up other resources now and then, it's probably ok.

• Consider your example of getting the wrong understanding of some items of vocabulary, like "behind" and "far behind" instead of "near" and "far". While this is not ideal, at the same time, in a well-designed course (which yours may not have been), you're at least getting a feel for how these terms are used in sentences. The understanding of words can get corrected/refined over time, based on seeing new contexts. What you're avoiding meanwhile is mapping the terms into your native language, in which you have a very clear understanding of words and their fine distinctions. This is a trade-off when one considers what this method aims for: eventually being able to think and compose naturally in the language, without always "decoding"/translating into/from another language. See this post shared by someone elsewhere in this discussion: https://blogicarian.blogspot.com/2019/03/argumentum-ad-ignor... — it describes the problem very well (and incidentally ends with a recommendation of Ørberg's LLPSI in its final paragraph).

That depends, variously on a number of factors.

A straight-text book can run as little as 500--750 KiB for 100--200 pages or so.

ePubs may run smaller as they're a compressed archive of HTML files, so how large the straight text is is largely a matter of the additional markup and stylesheets applied. I've generated PDFs from Markdown which are fairly comparable.

Most mainstream trade press books run about 3--6 MiB as PDFs, if they have few images or graphics.

Books with a heavy graphics content can easily swell to 30--300 MiB.

And scanned rather than generated PDFs tend to run similarly sized. Many of those scans are, however, excellent quality.

The largest ebook within my own collection for quite some time was a copy of Lyell's Geography, downloaded from the Internet Archive and based on a library scan of a 19th-century printing. On a colour tablet, it's actually pretty nice reading, on a B&W E-ink tablet, such scans often have a significant background ghosting which may or may not be eliminated by contrast adjustments in your reader.

For newer materials, I've seen any number of issues with ebooks:

- Clean single-page scans with OCR'd text for highlighting and copy/paste are generally my favourite. There's something about original print layouts that I still find preferable to ePubs and other digital-native formats.

- Native PDF can also be quite good though they're far more prone to designeritis, where someone has thought they could improve over ink-on-paper conventions. If you think you can do this, you are almost certainly wrong.

- ePubs rerendered as PDFs are among the worst options. I prefer PDFs generally, but not in this case.

- ePubs ... can ... be reasonably good, though again the principle problem is excessive flexibility for designers. Less is more. I really miss having a single consistent layout of the text, rather than something which reflows as font faces, sizes, and spacing are changed. As a saving grace, cringeworthy (and migrane-inducing) font choices can be overridden with The One True Serif Font.

- Various low-quality scans. 2-up, lots of page skew and placement variation, heavily-marked texts, and such. I'll still almost always prefer these to an ePub or other digital-native format, though the reading can be much harder.

- Tiny-font 3-column scientific publications. Even on my 13" e-ink reader, these can be a challenge, and I'll occasionally resort to a sub-page rendering (this is natively supported in the Onyx NeoReader and several other e-book readers). Why such publications continue to insist on this format as we approach the 2nd quarter of the 21st century I've no idea at all. Scans based on older journal pubs (from ~1950s -- 1980s or so) with both physical wear and scan artefacts can be especially challenging.
I've written both Forth and Lisp for production systems. Both are very intolerant of lax software engineering practices. Because both are "language construction kits," you have to come to agreement with other members of your team about how you will create and document your DSLs, which is a step beyond the agreements you need with "ordinary" languages.

The big difference for me was that I couldn't even read my own Forth code after I had been away from it for a year; I had to first re-teach my brain to think like a stack machine. That was never a problem with Lisp. I can look at 10-year-old code I wrote in Lisp and re-understand it quickly (especially with the tools built in to Emacs that are quite helpful for Lisp code exploration).
> not to mention nearly 50% of every packet was literally packet headers

I was just looking at a similar issue with grpc-go, where it would somehow send a HEADERS frame, a DATA frame, and a terminal HEADERS frame in 3 different packets. The grpc server is a golang binary (lightstep collector), which definitely disables Nagle's algorithm as shown by strace output, and the flag can't be flipped back via the LD_PRELOAD trick (e.g. with a flipped version of https://github.com/sschroe/libnodelay) as the binary is statically linked.

I can't reproduce this with a dummy grpc-go server, where all 3 frames would be sent in the same packet. So I can't blame Nagle's algorithm, but I am still not sure why the lightstep collector behaves differently.

The child is calling for help. The first instinct of a human baby. No help is coming. The child will instinctively shut up to avoid predators finding it. Its not 'calming itself'. Its avoiding certain death in the absence of the parents. With the in-built expectation that the parents who have been away for some reason will come back and pick him up. Else, he will die - just like all those babies that did not cry or whose parents were killed by predators.

Another reason it's nonsensical: when a DNS response is too large to fit in the payload of a UDP datagram, the server sets the TC bit in the response header (alongside whatever truncated results it feels like including), notifying the client of the truncation. The client optionally (but SHOULD) falls back to retrying the query over TCP.

> I think the articles talks about this: the child still wakes up in the middle of night but does not cry

The child is avoiding crying in the absence of its parents because doing so would cause predators to find him before his parents. Evolutionary instinct. The parents will (hopefully) return from hunting & gathering eventually, to pick the child up.

And when the parents regularly fail to return or never return - yeah, one way ticket to a psychological disorder.
