> All modern instant messaging services are centralised. This entire “Google runs RCS” debate is a straw man to deflect blame onto Google. Meanwhile, Apple is the party that doesn’t want anyone plugging into its walled garden.

And this is precisely why. If RCS services were being operated by any other company, even Amazon, there isn't that problem of "what if Google pulled this out again" and RCS might be more palatable to the point that Apple will be forced to integrate it. Instead, Google pushed RCS out because they knew that they screwed up Hangouts hard.
Its odd that you immediately paint this as racist, when it is exactly what the "Académie Française" does and has done for centuries.

And, if you read into the site even a little they define Anglish inborn terms as those in use prior to 1066 after the Norman Conquest [1] of England.

This is an innocent conlang designed to highlight some interesting historical circumstances around a bloody and protracted conquest. That some people with Inborn Anglish ancestory have an interest in their own history is innocent and given current trends, perfectly reasonable.

I would suggest you examine you own biases before jumping to conlcusions, as I doubt you would make the same statements against any other culture seeking to document their history.

Roe was overturned by Casey. There hadn’t been meaningful precedent on abortion for 30 years.
In less than 400 lines of C99 preprocessing (not counting some utilities included), I made a loop macro for Awk which supports parallel and nested (cross-product) iteration, and user-definable clauses.

https://www.kylheku.com/cgit/cppawk/tree/share/cppawk/includ...

The bulk of the file is defining the clauses, each of which requires six lines: six simple macros have to be defined. (Kind of reminiscent of the five SETF expanders in Common Lisp for defining a new place.)

This is thoroughly documented by a man page, including user-defined clauses. An complete example is given how to make a cause which iterates over alphanumeric strings, as in:

BEGIN {
loop (alpha_range (x, "aa0", "cc9"))
print x
}

where x is stepped over "aa0", "aa1", ..., "aa9", ... "ab0", ..., "cc9".
As someone with experience in this area I always find these proposals to add IREDs to block identification hilarious.

First, almost every security camera on the market these days has a IR cut filter switcher which means these aren't going to be affective against cameras in the daytime as the IR light is filtered out.

Second, there are other methods of identifying people using cameras if facial recognition fails. You can identify people by their gait, or by their clothing, track them back to their car and get their license plate, etc.

Instead of protecting biodiversity, why not let Darwin's law take its course?

The idea that it is human's responsibility to protect the rest of the natural world strikes me as a bit anthropocentric.
This is really exciting, thank you for this work! We use nix at work to manage our dev environments, rust production builds, and docker images. We have a pretty solid setup path for new developers that basically looks like:

1) install nix

2) run setup

Looks like we might be able to get that down to just step two thanks to y'all.

you'd think Amazon would have to at least pay lip service to accessibility, at the scale of that company. it's infuriating that they don't seem to care.
Interestingly, that German phrase also has its application in French: the word Vasistas [1], used to refer to roof windows. Ended up completely different than both German and Hungarian versions.

Syntactically, I find cppfront gorgeous.

However, I’d like to have seen more emphasis on safety by design, rather than safety by excluding things.

I think it’s definitely easier to get it in at this stage of cppfront’s development than it would be of Carbon, but that’s because the implementation is incredibly simple and the technical debt is low.

I have high hopes for cppfront, though. I hope it grows into a full frontend rather than a preprocessing step.
Rare insect found at Arkansas Walmart sets historic record
They have mobile ALPR cameras mounted onto cars aimed at where one would suspect a license plate would be visible from that position. So, unless someone wearing a shirt like this is laying in the street, not likely.

Maybe places like parking garages would have some mounted where a person wearing one of these might walk by, but the significantly small numbers would make any junk data insignificant. So, I cannot imagine these being useful to that end. Other cameras like traffic cameras or toll boths or similar mounting locations would also not be hampered by these shirts unless you make them into a complete body wrap for the car.

However, I do see them being useful as conversation starters when someone asks WTF you're wearing. It would have a much better chance of increasing awareness of ALPR tech and possibly other camera tracking tech in general. But even that is pretty much meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

IIRC Vimium was the one that was pure hotkeys, no commands. Waaay back when Vimperator died with Firefox Quantum, I tried a bunch of different addons that still worked and Vimium was probably the least powerful of them.

Currently I use Vim Vixen[0]. It's still nowhere near as feature-full as Vimperator was, but nothing can be nowadays. My only real complaint about it is how link hints don't let you complete with the link text like Vimperator could - it's the one thing that as far as I can tell, no replacement supports even though it's a whole lot better.

It's partly because the workplace has also become a lot more politicized, in case you did not notice.

I guess I wouldn't think of cmake as a bubble, it's a part of the ocean the bubbles float in. Blaze/Bazel are a bubble, the only place they see a lot of use are Google-involved projects.

Facebook, MS, Bloomberg, are heavy into CMake. Bloomberg notably so, and MS built vcpkg which is basically a CMake package distribution system. Netflix is mostly a Java/Scala house, and what C/C++ they do have sort of uses a "whatever" approach to build systems (variously, make, cmake, bazel, bash scripts, *gradle*).

"Where is CMake used" is a difficult question. Everywhere.
Yeah they're a good example of the upper end of what you can achieve as a natural lifter. Today's steroid fueled gym buffs trick young guys into thinking they can get huge by natural means. That is simply not true for 99.999% of the population.
> The objective is to prevent a camera from recognizing your face

Not just "a camera", but one that's in night-vision mode. The camera may not be using IR, or it may switch to normal mode at any time. You spent too much time telling people off for pointing out this hoody makes your head glow and may draw attention as a consequence.
well then the handbook serves its purpose because we wouldn't want to waste any time interviewing someone triggered by a simple statement of how we do things
With the release materials you won't see problems on mainstream distros doing configure && make && make install.

I'm talking about cloning the program's git repo and working with that.

GNU programs don't include the generated configure script in their repos; you have to boostrap that first, and you need all the AutoCruft, in the correct versions which that git baseline of the program wants.

It's completely insane. It should be that to create a release of gnu-whatever-1.2.3 you just create a tarball directly out of git using the 1.2.3 version tag. That is the release. But that's not how it works; a release that doesn't require AutoTools has to be specially prepared.

Sometimes I have cheated to build a GNU program from sources. I would find the closest matching release tarball and unpack it over the cloned git repo, then run ./configure and all that. Carefully git-reset any differences and so on.
I used Vimperator on Firefox about 10 years ago. Back then it was fantastic, but I think the add-on environment has changed in FF (WebExtensions) since then and add-ons aren't as powerful.

I've used Vimium on Chrome. Every few years I get excited, install it, feel 10x more productive, and then a few days later uninstall it.

As I recall, it doesn't work on the New Tab page. It doesn't work if the address bar is in focus. I believe you have to wait for the page to fully load before you can use it.

Most annoyingly, a lot of websites have custom keyboard shortcuts, so you have to blacklist them in the Vimium config. Eg Gmail, Miro. Then you need to remember you can't use Vimium on them.

None of this is their fault in any way, of course. But it does make Vimium a bit annoying to use for me anyway.
Unless a special command-line flag is provided, the test runners return a success exit status. Since we don't know whether potential differences are intended, we don't want to fail the CI by default. When differences in a given version are expected, you can promote that version as the new baseline through the web interface. This way, the test results for all subsequent versions will automatically be compared against the new version.
This undersells the nuanced point that the article is making.

It's true that the Saudi's want Israeli attacks on Iran to continue. But the article points out (to quote): "Israel’s new leadership is the most extreme right-wing government in its history and has already taken steps that have increased violence between the Israelis and the Palestinians, which puts Arab leaders who have embraced normalization in a difficult position given the widespread popular opposition to Israeli policies."

Israel's policy towards Palestinians is already problematic for other Arab states interested in normalizing relations. Overt strikes on another Muslim country like Iran - even one that is broadly an enemy - doesn't breed popular support.

The politics here are very complex and the article does a pretty good job explaining them. It's very far from "a joke" since there are many more trade offs here than simply "oh the Saudi's don't like Iran either".

While this is mostly true, it is worth noting that Christians believe they worship the same god as Jews (even if Jews don't believe what Christian's believe).

This is important because there is a strong fundamentalist Christian lobby group in the US that supports Israel politically for these religious reasons.
Yep. It's similar to people who count on crypto to solve government interference in finance.

You can't solve a culture of pervasive government surveillance by inventing new tech, because that tech will just be outlawed or regulated to death (see the UK online safety bill). You have to change the culture that makes governments think they have the right to see everything.

Moderation is the dual of denial of service. Every moderation primitive is a denial of service primitive, and every denial of service primitive is a moderation primitive - what moderation really is is the denial of service actions we believe are prosocial.

If you penalize people for engaging in link-farming SEO, the SEO people who's tricks don't work anymore will go into business doing "negative SEO" for hire or as extortion. When people use DDoS as an act of protest (I don't know if this still happens but it did circa 2010 when the Anonymous hacktivist movement was active), you can view that as similar "community moderation" to flagging posts on HN, but on the IP level. (I am not endorsing DDoS, I am just illustrating the duality. My point is technical and not political.)

Keep this in mind when you write moderation primitives. They will be abused.

that's how newspaper comic distribution works. it works that way for everyone, even for Bill Watterson when "Calvin and Hobbes" was at its height. Bill continually fought against what his distributors wanted, and fought for what he wanted.

this is just how newspapers are.

can you imagine what it would be like if each piece of non-local content in a newspaper was negotiated with each creator? one by one? every day? how many thousands of phone calls per day would need to happen for a single comic strip?
It's important to put it in those terms even when there are bad actors, because there always will be. The US government isn't supposed to be our keeper, it's supposed to be of the people, by the people, for the people.

Aside from the problematic medium, claiming something uses AI or is AI or has AI isn't a specific claim with respect to what the product can or cannot do. A product can do X or not. Whether someone punched out 7 million lines of if/else statements or 7 lines of pytorch to approximate the 7 million lines of explicit code matters not. As such, a product making any claim of AI isn't actually a large problem, even if it is total bs. The fact that the current folks at the FTC don't appear to understand this suggests they are trying to regulate something they don't understand.

If anyone wants to build with/atop Debian Live, I did a couple projects years ago where I wrote wrappers that might still be good starting points:

* LilDeb, a USB multi-tool designed for 256MB (like when you couldn't find a Linux box, but you could find a Windows PC), with careful separation between read-only OS, ephemeral data, and persistent data. One shell script builds the entire thing, including the various config files. https://www.neilvandyke.org/lildeb/

* Rackout, start to a living room media appliance project that was going to provide some examples for my (abandoned) Racket book. If you happen to want to use Racket to do things like repartition a disk or build a distro image, some of the libraries I wrote might come in handy. https://www.neilvandyke.org/rackout/
It sounds like the problem is that the capital costs associated with automation don't scale down well. Fixed cost equipment like tractors don't scale down well to smaller farms. At a cost of several million dollars for equipment, if you only have low five figure of profit a year you're not going to be able to realistically make interest payments on the capital loan.
If you look at a quantum efficiency chart you will find that CMOS sensors are actually sensitive to 850nm IR light almost identically at all photosites regardless of the colour filter and then they gradually decline together as the wavelength increases. The colour cast is mostly due to the tuning and white balance of the image.

No, you just need to enter insert mode. Hit `i`, then all the keyboard shortcuts for the site work. Exit insert mode with escape or ctrl+[.
You just said any term can be offensive and then said you don't know how BLM could be offensive.

Most people killed by cops every year are white. Black Lives Matter presumes this is a black only or primarily a black issue. It's deeply offensive to the families and friends and communities of the majority of victims since they don't happen to be black.

lingua franca is not French, it was the language of the Franks, a Germanic language for a Germanic tribe. The French are a Celtic people (Gallic tribes) but their language derives from the Italic language of their Roman oppressors. If lingua franca interests you, Aryan roots and all, you should take a look at Anglish: as your English is quite good, it's a project that would be accessible to you to practice something much closer to lingua franca than French!
Had a similar experience, so I decided today to write a Github action[1] that automatically takes the contents of an Obsidian[2] vault, generates static content with Hugo and publishes it on Github pages. Hopefully I have documented the steps clearly [3].

After initial setup, the idea is you can edit a blog on any machine (not requiring Hugo locally). Just check out a repository, make changes and do a `git push`. All the hard work is done in a Github runner.

I wanted a simple way to be able to cut and paste screenshots into Markdown and generate a static site. Obsidian is both an excellent note taking tool and editor, so it seemed appropriate. Of course the markdown files can be edited with any editor.

I don't think white savior complex applies here.

This is an issue of business risk.

The truth is, white nationalists are mad that pop culture can't be openly bigoted in their favor anymore. And why can't it be openly bigoted? Because America is no longer over 85% white like it was in 1960. [1]

Instead, you're looking at a country with a diverse community, just like you mentioned.

So, when we're talking about "cancel culture," I think the practical application of the concept is really about business risk.

If I carry Scott Adams' comic strip, how many of my customers that he directly offended will cancel their subscription? How many of my employees will quit or complain? How much money will I lose? On the other side of the equation, what's the financial upside of keeping this comic strip in print?

That equation used to look different when all your customers and employees were part of a homogeneous ethnic group.

Conservatives make the argument that white people, usually the ones in cities who have interacted with lots of non-white people and know them to be normal people, are afflicted by "wokeism" and "white savior complex." Call it what you wish, at the end of the day customers with dollars don't want to buy shit from bigots.

Artists that make their living through institutions with national reach - so, newspaper syndicates, Hollywood, network television - are basically beholden to following national interest in some degree; that doesn't necessarily mean that they have to fall within the same lines as someone running for political office, but it does mean that as the sociopolitical winds shift, national culture is implicitly called upon to follow parallel narratives and "do what's good for the country". Falling too far outside the narrative means marginalization; it's a subtle distinction, because what they say can be outwardly critical but still be part of the narrative, still describe "a place where our culture should go".

The original "Dilbert" premise has become dated in the same way as Dagwood Bumstead of "Blondie": it's office work from another generation, one that is now retiring. And increasingly it critiques trends that are political darlings. Whether Adams was right or wrong in his personal statements, this was coming, because he's stayed in the context of circa 1990.

Allulose is about 70% as sweet as sugar but tastes much more like sugar than the other sugar alcohols. Allulose caramelizes (tho you should not try to make caramel with allulose. (you've been warned.)) It dissolves much better than erythritol. Allulose has a consistency more like dextrose than table sugar. More like a powder. It behaves more like sugar in baked goods.

Erythritol has a kinda minty aftertaste.. like on the exhale that can be unpleasant if it's not overpowered by something else.

All that said, I still prefer an erythritol + monkfruit sweetener in beverages. Erythritol is easier on my stomach in larger quantities.
