As far as I recall the HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 specs were drafted side by side and which one you want to give credit for introducing the different DTD "modes" is a matter of perspective. My perspective from that time was that because the "modes" affected XHTML parsing (and mime types) so much more than they affected HTML 4 they always seemed to me designed for XHTML and back-ported/side-ported to HTML 4.

The DTDs were a signal designed to opt into different parsing and rendering modes, including CSS rendering differences (and as I recall even differences in ES3 mode "option strict"/proto-ES5; though memory is hazy and I don't remember which browser I think did that in my testing at the time) and DTDs were a simpler signal than most of the other alternatives at the time and since (META tags/Headers). They were never independent concerns in practice, though sure they could have been in theory. Rendering changes were one of the reasons few developers opted into XHTML 1.x Strict.
Os it just me or there’s another document management system and authoring suite called Hermes?

Newegg is a shitshow and has been for a long, long time.

So many people have been burned by them, and the writing was on the wall as long as a decade and a half ago when they would purposefully not process orders for 2-3 days to get you to pay extra to have an order process in their warehouse in a reasonable period of time.

It doesn't matter whether Newegg was "set up to handle RMAs" for Asrock. They sold you something defective. They shouldn't get credit for "taking it back and sending a replacement"...that's required of them.
In your world, everyone counts except the people who actually live in the community today and will be affected by changes. You're shocked that outsiders come into a town with plans to build things that require special consideration and the people of the town demand it be put through a rigorous process?

I get it, there are real issues. But minimizing real concerns of people that are the stakeholders isn't fair. Construction means years of noise and dust, and traffic issues in many cases and people don't want that. People are wary of the character of their town being ruined - what makes the town a great place to be. I agree that there's usualy a middle ground that could be found. But importantly, to your last point...

> It's fine to not like the design of a particular building, but to enforce design aesthetic onto someone else is also a failing of zoning.

I disagree. Go to somewhere like the UK and you'll see in many places they not only restrict what you can do to existing structures, but they dictate which materials can be used to build new developments. They do this because it allows the area to develop while also hopefully maintaining the character of the place. The thing that makes the place nice today. If someone wanted to put up a house covered in vinyl siding, they wouldn't be allowed to.

I fully support enforcing new developments having to use certain materials and be restricted to certain sizes, styles, and layouts.
What is their job? Their job is to turn off the devices. They're not in charge of new device procurement.
And that's exactly where the whole "have two backbones managed by separate teams instead of one" stops. If someone pushes out an incorrect network config to the end box then all that "let's have two of everything" becomes completely worthless. And as far as multihoming everything and having every single box on the network act as router, unless you are running a CDN of some sort, really makes zero sense. You seem to be arguing that adding more complexity will automatically result in better reliability.
I mean it depends, is number of possible answears per prompt known? If so, can we even realistically calculate number of possible prompts? AFAIK ChatGPT answears even tho there is a gramatical mistake in your sentence, does that affect answears/is that considered a new prompt? Ok, let's say you feed all N possible answears in and make a rainbow table of hashes. Sha is basically random (not really, but lets not go there), after I generate my text using AI (which would get flagged by your detection system) and change few letters/words here and there, your whole Sha rainbow table becomes useless - right? I could be totally wrong, but I don't see Sha as a way to solve this problem, because of these complications :/
Utterly misleading to call this self hosted document management then, and defeats the purpose. Here's a front end to Google docs you can host, but you still need access to the internet, Google docs, and Google sees all your docs anyways.

Usual PR spin from a "research and policy consulting group".

They adding things like the cost of your home charging equipment, which should be factored into the cost of the car rather than the cost of driving.

"Opportunity cost" for your time spent driving to and from charging stations, etc etc.

I can't imagine anyone using common sense would believe this based on their experience of driving an EV.
It'd be nice to be able to manually specify an upstream for a repo, that's the main benefit of forking in the UI.
You know that joke that facebook is an over-engineered birthday reminder app? I would make the point that social media are also over-engineerd news feeds.

The vast majority of people get their news from some kind of feed. Be it Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, whatever. Scrolling a feed is what gets news to most people. I can see the purpose of making an app that does just that, instead of having to also live with 3000 social features i don't care about (and all the noise and pointless posts they bring to the feed).

I also don't agree on the chronologically ordered list of things i choose to follow. I tried to do that and as soon as you put any kind of news outlet it's going to flood your feed of things you don't care about. I want to follow TechCrunch, Ars Technica or The Verge, but you can be sure that I don't want to see every article they post. I just want to have them on my radar for that more noteworthy stories. And I also want to discover new things, trending articles or topic that might have nothing to do with what i specifically follow.

That's why i also go on HN or reddit for news, because there's some kind of user curation where only the interesting articles ends up on my feed. I get to disover things that i don't already know and follow, plus i get curated news selection that should filter the noise while letting me know what's the hot topic of the week.
But if the articles are selected by upvotes, then we have echo-chambers and both this site, reddit or any other social media are prime examples of this. You really get only a narrow and often biased slice.
An app whose sole purpose is to give you news and articles you find interesting might have an incentive to do so without trapping you in a filter bubble. Or maybe not, only time will tell.

International Workshop on Plan 9 (iwp9) deadline extended
The 9th International Workshop on Plan 9 will take place from April 21st-23rd in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

There is still time to submit a paper, WiP report or proposal for a tutorial or hackathon - we extended the deadline to February 12th (anywhere on Earth).
Where are these assumptions coming from? What 'cost of chargers' is associated with commercial charging? Shouldn't that be $0? They already include 'deadhead miles' in their assumptions here, which should cover cost to transit to the chargers.

Also, if my eyeball-o-meter is correct, it looks like the ratio of energy cost to 'cost of chargers' is 5:3, which is insane.

Let's do some basic math I guess... they're counting this as the cost per 100 miles.

So, they're saying it costs $11.60 per 100 miles driven. For a 'mid-range' EV, you should be getting something like 250Wh/mi (some better, some worse). Let's assume worse, and go with 333Wh/mi (because the math is easy). So, 1kWh per 3 miles. So, it costs you 33.3kWh to go 100mi. If you did 250Wh/mi, that's 25 kWh to go 100mi.

At the terrible economy figure (333Wh/mi), you'd need to spend $0.34/kWh to account for their $11.60 cost, of which $0.21/kWh is actual electricity cost (using the 5:3 figure)...

At 250Wh/mi, you'd need to spend $0.46/kWh, of which $0.28/kWh is electricity cost.

That leaves 'cost of chargers' to be $4.35/100mi... which either means they assume you're spending $435/10k mi on a charger, or you're spending a one-time multi-thousand dollar cost on a charger and even then, only keeping the car for a few years. Even at an outrageous $4k to install a charger, that covers charging for 100k miles at the price they're proposing.

All-in-all, this seems like a flawed assumptions. Literally the only places where electricity costs that much are places like New England or California, and even then... the amount attributed to 'charger cost' is laughable at best.

The other thing, if you're in a state with super high electric cost... you also probably live in a state with higher than average gasoline cost. So their figure for gas cost is likely low.
Proving you are a human and not a computer doesn't have to publicly reveal a single thing about you (other than the crypto signature). Think of it like an SSL cert for a person rather than a server. I'm purely spitballing man. It's a problem someone will eventually have to come up with a solution for and I think we already have the tools.
> Ah, yes, I guess if we had debated the "good parts" of Nazism then the invasion of Ukraine wouldn't have happened.

Kind of. If more time was spent deconstructing Nazism/Fascism, instead of simply repeating "Nazism bad" it would be much easier to notice it right under our (their) nose.

I don't get it: a Linux laptop with physical buttons on the touchpad but only two of them. I've been pasting text with the middle button all the time since forever and any time I had to use a two buttons mouse or touchpad it was hell. My ZBook has three buttons. It was one of the reasons I bought it.

Less visible downsides: only 1 TB SSD (I have 3 TB now), 16 GB RAM (I have 32) and the screen is smaller as the laptop is "12.73 x 8.44 x 0.75 in; 32.34 x 21.46 x 1.91 cm"

>As you go back through the ages life gets worse.

Which life is better on the whole? That of an apex predator in its natural environment or that of livestock?

There is a case to be made that modern humans have been progressively turned into domesticated livestock, abstracted from their ancestral, natural habitat since the neolithic revolution.

It is unclear that cell phones and modern medicine increase net happiness when many work soul sucking, unhealthy sedentary jobs and suffer a long gray existence in nursing homes and hospitals.
> It is a common occurrence to find people with multiple Aadhar or Voter cards

This is false. Voter cards perhaps, but not Aadhaar cards. It is technically not possible because the cards (identities) are tied to biometric data (fingerprints and retina scans) and would be immediately caught by the system if the same person were attempted to be registered in the database again.

Edit: In fact, because of this many lost kids who were tried to be registered by orphanages have been found and returned to their homes!

Actually, facilitating other people to communicate in novel ways in turn facilitates more people doing difficult and meaningful things across more mediums.

It may as well be an economic model because demand of communication platforms is bringing out a supply of efficiency and not just addiction.

> Using existing biological data, researchers at the University of Waterloo built a mathematical model that simulates how an average person's body regulates potassium, both in times of potassium depletion and during potassium intake.

I guess a mathematical model of how the average body regulates potassium leaves no room for error... right? No chance of causing the problem the think they will fix?

> The model could be used for a virtual patient trial, allowing researchers to generate dozens of patients and then predict which ones would have hyper- or hypokalemia based on different controls.

Mathematical models, average person, virtual patients, generating dozens of patients... at some point we will get to reality, I hope!

It surely does not need repeating that: the map is not the terrain.

Exactly. There are vast quantities of uninhabited areas of Yakutia. People could return to being hunter-gatherers and enjoy all its, uhhhm, trappings and live a happy, fulfilling life! But you know what, except for a very few, no one else will want to do it. Ask any random American, or ask any random want-to-be immigrant, hey there, there is this great big opportunity for you and your family to return to the hunter-gatherer lifestyle; are you up for that, it'll free you from the chains of modernity; Believe me, it's very leisurely!

Allow me to be a bit nihilist: Nothing we do matters. In fact, if you ask why enough you'll realize meaning has no definition that is independent of an observer. So entertainment, as something humans value in and of itself, is perhaps the most worthy cause you can devote yourself to.

Yes. We are SOC II certified and have strict limitations on who can access that data and under what circumstances (only if given explicit permission by the user). Definitely understand that could be a deal breaker for some, but with current methods, we believe that this approach will allow us to deliver more powerful search and greater value in the long run.
You still need it. I'm struggling to imagine any sense in which GNU is less vital to the functioning of the system than Linux, though it's true that both are potentially somewhat under the hood components.

FWIW a few years ago I worked on a video of 3D slices of a 4D platonic solid (a hyperdodecahedron):

https://www.oilshell.org/recurse/120-cell-bathroom.original....

It's all in Python (and shell scripts), which IMO makes it easier to experiment with than C++.

I completely forgot how it worked until I went back and looked just now ... there is this bit of 4D polytope code we borrowed, and the rest is 3D math and integration with rendering, stitching frames together, etc.

I love this about Mastodon. I hated that Twitter showed people who follow me what I was liking today, and I hated that Twitter constantly showed me stuff people I followed were liking.

If I want my followers to see something, I have to consciously make a post that says "hey check out this thing". It's great! I open Mastodon, look at what the people I'm following are saying or pointing at, and then I close it and get on with doing something else instead of spending half an hour being distracted by Shit Twitter Thinks I Might Like.
I'd prefer it if the repo was returned to the company, rather than removed.
I think now seniors can keep their Prop 13 tax exemption if they move anywhere in the state. However, that is a law that only passed a few years ago. Before then, I believe you were restricted to moving only within the same county.
> "Opportunity cost" for your time spent driving to and from charging stations, etc etc.

This is particularly dishonest since if you're like most EV owners who charge at home, you spend less time driving to public chargers than ICE owners do driving to gas stations.
Yes, but because when a server thread is available the context switch is immediate and with priority transfer, the effect is similar.

> because I sync’d them to a usb stick with gitea

Just a tip: no need to use gitea if you want to replicate a git repository to somewhere else on disk/other disk.

Just do something like this:

mkdir /media/run/usb-drive/my-backup-repo
(cd /media/run/usb-drive/my-backup-repo && git init)
git remote add backup /media/run/usb-drive/my-backup-repo
git push backup master

And now you have a new repository at /media/run/usb-drive/my-backup-repo with a master branch :) It's just a normal git repository, that you also can push to over just the filesystem
I expect it is analogous to scannerless parsing - there's still a scanner, it just recognizes individual characters. It may be more about where you draw the line and how important it is to your understanding (or ability to convey the idea).

If you can use it, it's useful.

That being said, not every useful thing is safe. My kitchen knife is useful, but if I operate it absent-mindedly then I get cut. AI is largely the same way; you can trust it to do it's job, but you can never trust it to work safely without supervision.

So, AI really just needs to be applied right. People are right to squabble over how it generates it's answers, because largely that decides whether the output is fact or fiction. In this case, ChatGPT is trained on a combination of facts and fiction, with no way for it's model to differentiate them.
Maybe that's hardly relevant? If the football field unit is intended to paint a mental picture as opposed to being an objective physical measure, the fuzziness of the football field size may not matter. It may even be a good thing if the size of a football field varies by locality. Good point, however.
