It never ceases to amaze me that light (the fastest and most powerful thing in our universe) can be easily blocked whereas sound, being less powerful and slower, is more penetrating.
We can close the blinds/curtains and have total darkness, but try completely blocking the sound from the neighbors in such a simple way, impossible :-)
Yes, they should, but not sure how is it relevant to what I WISHED for, I didn't tell anyone what to do and I'm clearly not an American.
Like most esoteric language features in existence, Raku allows for it. Probably easier to support, as variables are prefixed with sigils.
Did you try the "Gallery" link?
I'd also happily accept '-' to mean 'minus' when separated by spaces and be part of an identifier if not. You'd probably not want to space-separate a unary minus, so identifiers could not start with a hyphen, but that's ugly anyway. (BTW so is starting an identifier with an underscore, so either we'd have to finally come up with a better scheme for "private" identifiers, or just keep the underscore for that purpose.)

This is by design. Governmental systems are "captured" by special interests and made intentionally obtuse and complex as a barrier to entry. Lawyers and judges are a guild that works to make the law complex and extract rents from the productive economy. Over 1/3 of the U.S. Congress are attorneys as well.
That LNP government was absolutely amazing. They managed to go from absolute majority to losing an election in a single election cycle. Campbell Newman (the premier at the time) managed to pretty much piss off every voting bloc in the state. All done in three years. Cannot remember any other politician that was able to do that.
And that's essentially what has happened. We are sicker than ever because we have easy cures. The problem is that modern medicine works on the symptoms, not on root causes. So the more we "cure" symptoms, the more sick we become, overall.
It's fine to live somewhere for many years without learning the local language. Even learning a relatively "easy" language, like German for a native English speaker, takes about a year of full-time dedication. Not everyone has time for that.

It's definitely not ok, however, to act as if you're an expert about the local culture. There is so much you can't grasp unless you speak the native language. Talking to people is important, but equally important is consuming native media and the news.
These days? Yeah, pretty much.

Bit late for that now, don't you think?

"There's nothing I would rather be
Than to be an Aborigine
And watch you take my precious land away.
For nothing gives me greater joy
Than to watch you fill each girl and boy
With superficial, existential shit.

Now you may think I'm cheeky
But I'd be satisfied
To rebuild your convict ships
And sail them on the tide.

I love the way you give me God
And of course the mining board,
For this of course I thank the Lord each day.
I'm glad you say that land rights wrong.
Then you should go where you belong
And leave me to just keep on keeping on."

> Because they like community contributions to their stuff, so "open source" it for that, but don't want their competitors benefiting from the initial work they did. Which I understand.

The distinction between competitors and community contributions is false. Why should the publishers be entitled to exclusive monetization of the contributions of their community, and why should their community be denied the right to monetize a product they contributed to? The ability to share the wealth is why the open source movement works.

This approach stems from a position wherein the publishers view themselves as separate and privileged from their community, which is valid if you are the only entity investing in the software, but unjust if the community is an active participant in the software's development.

The mainstream view on OSS is often good for the original publisher, in that an organization which monetizes their software then has access to more resources with which to contribute back to the software -- particularly in the presence of a copyleft license to enforce this behavior. The original publisher is then able to benefit from a larger and more consistent workforce developing the project with them.
> not building the most amount of units (you get penalized))

Given that the whole point is to increase the number of units, this seems to be like a massive WTF that needs to be fixed - in the sense of "stop the whole process and fix this one thing", since it seems to be directly disincentivizing the specific outcome that is desired.

You'd have to be pushing 250-300 watts an hour to burn that much, but people do burn that much in an hours time if you look around a few bike forums. If you have time to do a long and leisurely ride, 3 hours or so, the length of the new Avatar movie, you'd probably knock out at least 1000 calories imo. Whats nice about a road bike in particular for caloric burning, at least in my experience, is that it makes you want to push the bike and go as fast as you can and keep snapping up through your gears and catch up to the cars (passing them even when they hit traffic or you are descending).

How would a website like YouTube look with this model? Those organizations don’t have to provide search or offer content. No one goes to Namecheap to find a website, and no one goes to AWS to see something to watch.

YouTube doesn’t need to endorse a video to put it in your feed. There’s too many videos for there not to be some sort of algorithm to determine what content to show, even if it’s chronologically or by views or something.

You can’t have YouTube without a way to organize the content. You can’t have search without some sort of heuristic to search against.

The issue in my opinion is not the algorithm to curate and organize content but instead the decision to moderate content ex post-facto instead of at upload time.

A post-230 YouTube is one where any video can be found by URL but only vetted videos can be suggested to you.
I processed a lot of open data from Stackoverflow, Instagram, H&M, and others. I'm interested in how users return to make their actions: to write posts, to make a purchase, to answer a question.

This data can be valuable for startups to develop their business models as repeat users are the core of any business.

You aren't allowed to use cleanroom techniques to clone something that's been stolen. You're still guilty of copyright violation for even downloading the code in the first place, and who knows, maybe also laws against receipt of stolen goods. Cleanroom reverse engineering is usually applied to a product that you've actually bought and paid for. You'd have to be really crazy to try and use this code for anything.

> That may be the real issue here. Mandarin has nearly as many speakers as English.

Completely different league, English has by magnitude more speakers than Chinese.

> Why should anyone be interested in people who don't "learn at least" Mandarin?

Because not learning any foreign language is quite sign of ignorant character, while English is foreign language in most of the world and most of the world English speakers are non natives including me who learned 2-3 foreign languages besides my mother tongue. But you are right Chinese not speaking any other language besides Chinese is less ignorant than me...

Personally, while I am forced to use Discord for work, for participating in open source communities or any other sort of interest-based community, I will only use IRC.

It's not even solely the spyware and proprietary aspect of it, though that counts for a lot. It's also the fact that I can use any IRC client I desire and I am not forced to use either an Electron app, or a web browser tab. Also the quality of people seems to be significantly higher. But hey, at least Discord is not Slack! That I really won't use, due to the fact that I have to install the Electron app.

Matrix is extremely unreliable so I gave up on it a long time ago.
"Discord is spyware because it takes user data."
Everything nowadays takes your data. Go to google.com/myaccount and just look at all the features, finding your device, a timeline of your location.

Also it isn't spyware if it doesn't use it for a malicious purpose, as the article says it is unknown whether discord sells users' data. Don't talk about things you cannot validate for sure.

I did a quick check of his education.

I think the US is at 12 years + 4 for university, that's 16 in total. Actually, I think kindergarten is another 2 years. So that's 18 years. All of them in private institutions.

At current tuition rates, all of the places he went to cost about $60k per year.

So that's about $1m just in his education...

True as far as it goes, but bear in mind that a huge proportion of the population speeds routinely. So enforcing the law doesn't feel equitable; the rule of law already doesn't exist on the roads.
I run this site : https://ducis.net/
It is a hobby that got out of hand. The idea was/is to see what this data reveals. What can be learned just by observing 'traffic'.
The answer is : a lot and I know various agencies and governments freaked out when they realized how visible some things are. Basically, with enough 'training' and domain-knowledge it's all pretty much out there : military transports, private military contractors, refugee flights, mercenaries, embargo busters, the spooks etc.
Obviously there was a reaction. Over the years they've tried to tidy things up with some success by putting pressure on the tracker-sites (or simply attacking the small players' servers).
Anyway, the point is : it is complex and fascinating.
I'm not interested in shouting "SECRET flight..." for clicks but if someone wants to try and set up a new 'ADS-B Exchange' : basically free, responsible, open source etc and wants to take on board a couple of years of deep domain-knowledge and decades of coding skills, contact details are on the site.

Digging around in this website, I can't work out if it's parody or not, which I guess is a sign of an excellently constructed parody.
I honestly don't think there is such a malicious intent behind it. Perhaps in some small instances.

Generally, the fact of the matter is simply that law is highly complex and the way it evolves is almost always by creating new laws, not getting rid of old ones. That's unfortunate obviously, but just like you don't just rewrite the Linux kernel, you can't just reset the legal foundation.

I dig the article. I'm neither shy nor introverted (quite the opposite) but have social anxiety. It works quite good if I'm transparent with my "close team" about bad days and just use introspection and mindfulness as often as I need to. That requires solid borders of course (things like: nope, you can't know when I'm free and just block time for an interview, ask me first).
It's possible to do that without spying on your users, e.g. by storing them encrypted.
Traffic tickets and parking tickets are two different things though. Unpaid parking ticket is unlikely to get you arrested anywhere, but an unpaid speeding ticket will eventually lead to some pretty unpleasant consequences which yes, might include arrest(to bring you in front of the judge and explain yourself).
It is not an easy topic to explain because the threat is abstract. Although the same arguments that lead to health information being protected apply here more or less 1:1. Why do you believe health information needs to be protected? Or do you believe it does not?

Yes, you need some facilities to understand the threat, out of the question. But not too many either. I don't like to use Discord but do it anyway. In the browser at least with an anonymous handle. There is still data that is leaked and you can pretty reliably identify people by their writing style, but there might be information worth protecting.

At some point you either you get it or you don't. There are many things like that.

Drinks, not just booze, are sleepers for caloric intake. A can of coke or a small bottle of gatorade are 130 calories. Then you have some people who literally hate the taste of water for some reason, so every drink they take of a liquid comes with calories. Just switching to water alone for a person like that could cut out hundreds of calories right there with no other changes to diet or lifestyle.
I don't think we should shame people for not speaking the language of the country they live in, however it's important to stress that you're really missing out when you don't speak the local language.

It will vary a lot by countries, because in some of them (i.e. northern european countries) everyone will be able to speak English so not only you have less incentive to learn the local language but it will be very difficult to practice because the local won't make the effort of speaking to you in their language until you're good enough (which you're not because you lack practice).

Speaking of Japan, as someone who lived there for a few years and reached a decent Japanese level, the English proficency of locals is not great so if you don't speak it you'll be stuck in your bubble of foreigners + Japanese people used to hang out with foreigners. I've seen a lot of foreigners not speaking Japanese after living several years in Japan, and most of them were wonderful people but they were like permanent visitors in the country they live which I thought was really too bad.

Well, yeah. For a good example of just how much the discussion has shifted, look at BonziBuddy. Back then their data mining stirred up a huge shit storm. Today we have Alexa and Cortana and Siri doing the exact same thing like no big deal.
> Is the need to use an expert the issue or rather the price point? Why would it be wrong to avail yourself of someone else's expertise (and people use lawyers in non-case law jurisdictions, too)?

Even needing an expert at all is an issue - the law that governs society needs to be accessible to members of society, long before they reach the point of litigation.
What GGP wrote:

> First obvious option is to get rid of the infix "-" operator, which is what Lisp does. In lisp-like languages you don't write "a - b" instead you write "- a b", this way there is nothing to confuse "a-b" with.

> Another option is to require a space between operators. E.g. you are not allowed to write "a+b" to mean "add a to b". You have to write "a + b". This is used in Agda programming language.

is kinda not good, Lisp allows "-" in names the same reason as Agda: it tokenize by spaces (correct me if I'm wrong). This may seem as a gross error for one, and an only implied who cares error which is even true if taken word-by-word, for an other.
Feels like it's the Instagram model for prompt-generated images.

Anyone can get a camera phone, take a picture and use some free software (e.g. gimp) to get great results in post-processing.

Most non-expert users though want to click on a few pre-defined filters, find one they like & run with it, rather than having more control yet poorer results (precisely because they _aren't_ experts).
Every 6 months or so I re-read this article as if it was the first time, and every time in the middle of it I realize I have already read it, and still finish it and still laugh anyway. It's a curious phenomenon.
On the one hand, given how often sensors fail and AIs flip the evil bit in Star Trek, limiting automation is probably a good idea.

On the other hand, the Enterprise won't even warn anyone when command staff are injured, cloned, mind-controlled or vanish from the ship altogether unless a human asks the computer where a specific person is first.

Of course there are Doylist reasons for all of this but I do like the premise of a general fear of AI and possible weird space BS being a factor.
Honestly a bit too emotionally loaded for my taste.

However, I share the concern that Discord text messages are unencrypted, leaving a lot of sensitive information vulnerable.

That's why I made discryptor.io [0], an innovative app running on top of Discord that end-to-end-encrypts all private text messages. It does this by employing a Discord bot that forwards encrypted messages. (More info on discryptor.io)

Client source code will be made available soon.

But that's the whole point. You can't just stand up and say 'i don't agree with your use of the word, therefore I'm going to change it'. That's the most ridiculous idea ever. Hey guys guess what, I now declare that the word 'murder' no longer means killing someone.
They've been slowly bleeding those systems dry, putting caps on how much they'll pay and restricting who gets access.
It's absolutely ridiculous how little these package manager devs looked at Maven.

It predates almost all of them by at least half a decade, has a lot of hard thought knowledge but "Java is icky, Java is enterprise, bleh" and I can't even count how many mistakes Maven fixed back in 2005 I still see in pip, npm, cargo, etc in 2023.

i might be the only one to think this, but the relationship between Adani and the current administration (mainly the PM) has been an open secret. iirc the book "billionaire raj" (2018) also talks about this.

besides the shady ways of raising initial capital, the main crux of the issue with the rise of both Ambani and Adani empires rely on getting favours from local administration. Adani was able to catapult to a big position in the country because of winning contracts from the state administration when the current PM was the CM of the state.

for now, this remains the reality for those who want to set up conglomerates in the country, especially involving infrastructure and commodities.
