Not following a proscribed political viewpoint is now "extremist trolling". Yeesh!

Some of these points aren't even controversial to most people in the real world, just on the Internet. See: men in women's sports. Go and ask a random person in real life what they think and then compare that with the Fediverse.

Is that viewpoint "extremist trolling"? I don't think so, personally. You've just assumed the parent must be a horrendous person with horrendous viewpoints. But you actually haven't read them.

Here's some rules:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Except that's wrong - there are rules to English pronunciation that work like 99% of the time. It's why most people would pronounce "ghoti" something like "go tee" or "go tie" instead of "fish".

Just because there are exceptions doesn't mean the rules are nonexistent. We're just rarely or never explicitly taught these rules.

This is just my personal experience. My first son was able to read when he was 2.5 yo. I read Dr. Suess to him every night since he was 1 yo. At first I would read and let him finish the last word in the sentence, the rhyming part. One day I asked him to try reading the whole sentence and he did. I thought maybe I read to him so much that he memorized it, as I was starting to memorized some of the books. I switch to different book and he was able to read a few sentences. I tried a book we haven't read yet (higher level Dr. Suess's book) and he was able to read 20%. Taking turn on the pages made it fun and I tried to exaggerate some of the words to make it more dramatic, like CRASH!!!.
Another thing I think help was that we put him to sleep with a radio station playing classical music since he was born, maybe even before that. Being a public support station, they tend to have sponsor promotions quite a bit, so my son was listing to classical music and people talking. I believe the music and the talking sound got him to be familiar with English phonic early, so when it comes to reading, the rhythm is not so strange.
Sadly, with the second son, we had to split time with two kids and more work, we didn't do the same routine. He was barely reading when he got into kindergarden. But thank God he had a great teacher in 1st grade, over zoom she taught most of the class to read. My kids actually excelled during pandemic teaching over zoom. Of course we were there to help them along.
I think reading is priority one for any kid. Once they learn to read, they are more independent, read menu and decide for themselves, read instructions to build LEGOs, read street names, really open the world to them.

I get the intuition that this might be a form of government back door. Hope someone can convince me I am wrong.
Anyone else struggle to find the proper (crunchy) Flamin' Hot Cheetos in the UK? I often see the crunchy cheese ones, and the flamin' hot "puff" kind, but it's just not the same. It's just "meh" without the dense, crunchy texture of true Cheetos.

If Flamin' Hot Cheetos are so famous, why are they so hard to find?!
My mother was a public school teacher in a very poor district. Realistically, the social science researchers that study these things are often well-off academics who have no idea about the reality on the ground. The majority of hungry children are due to flat out parental neglect. Should the parents be interested in availing themselves of the resources, they would have food for their kids. Unfortunately, the social scientists keep telling us to spend more money despite decades of that not working.

I mean... if a parent leaves a child in the home and doesn't come back for days at a time and the child is hungry, despite social programs to pay for that child's food... is that a problem with food availability or parental neglect?
I'm in this boat. Every kid is different.

My oldest was reading little books by 3. It was zero effort other than reading to him. Suddenly he just took over and didn't need mom and dad to read to him anymore.

He's 8 now and can plow through the Harry Potter series in a week. Some days I think he might read better than I do at 31.

My youngest is 5 and still struggling. He never really liked to be read to. As soon as he could get up and do something else, he did. He's getting there though, and we'll get him there.
This, bigtime. I loved the 3blue1brown series an example of how to do this better.
> We were really puzzled why the reading curriculum featured stupid books where each page had a picture of a mouse and another object, and you were supposed to read "Mouse sees bear".

This horse-shit made one of my daughters backslide in reading for about 3/4 of kindergarten. She was progressing fast in Montessori school, then went backwards in ability for most of the (public school) kindergarten. Made her really lazy too, and seemed to shift what she thought reading was from "read the words" to "just guess", which, JFC. Recovered and then some, luckily, but god damn do I hate those starter leveled readers they used.

To expand, what these books do is have some pattern for a sentence, then every page is the same sentence with one word different, and you can guess which word with about 100% accuracy by just looking at the picture. So you just need to figure out the sentence once, then you can zoom through the book without reading another word.

They also had them do some computer reading program that had a feature that'd read the book to the kid. So guess what the kids all do, for their "reading time", some of them well into 1st and 2nd grade(!). They're not reading, just listening to books. WTF. Total waste of time and encouraging more reading-laziness.

All this means more work on our part to undo the harm. What a fucking waste of everyone's time, including and especially the kids.

Neat! Although, I'm curious why the tool doesn't just run addr2line for you?
To support sideloading do they have to "Relax control" though?

I think the fear is "sideloaded apps can do bad things" and my answer is make the OS better and more clearly manage bad things?

What are the bad things we imagine a sideloaded app could do? Like it still has to follow the platform APIs right? It would have to ask for perms? Sure, it could have egregious tracking or spam, or hostile ads, but app store apps already have this??

I'm genuinely asking: What risk am I missing?
This is right. The Fediverse and Mastodon aren't products. As the most widespread implementation of ActivityPub (and AGPL'ed to boot), Mastodon, like WordPress and the Linux kernel before it, is more like a force of nature.

It's something that more and more people will adopt over time because it's free and "good enough" for some use cases. A fraction of those who adopt it will contribute to it and it will improve. The longer this virtuous cycle continues the harder it is to stop. Over several decades it will commoditize a chunk of a technology layer that's currently proprietary (basically, the social graph). Maybe a huge chunk of it.

Again just like Linux and WordPress - there will be lots of of critics and naysaying from people who don't understand the economics of the software industry (or in some cases simply don't want to). They will be wrong, again. They will moan about it for many years after it has become successful. History repeats.
If Starship flies as often as Musk says, one Starship would take one year to bring as much mass into orbit as everything ever launched before. Something like that or so I heard.
I would have a problem with that, because for a search engine to know me well enough to know what I actually want despite what I typed in it would have to know a lot of information about me I wouldn't trust the company behind it with.

I spend most of my browsing time in a browser configured to clear cookies, cache, and history on exit.

I'm not sure why most people are okay with companies gathering tons of data about them and trying to use it to manipulate them into buying products they don't actually want or need (among other uses), but I'm not one of them.

Now if I could only get a search engine to not ignore query terms because it thinks it knows what I want better than I do, I'd be even happier.
If that's not how law works I want off the ship.
It's a talking point. I'm sorry that it is negative and it might not fair to the parent commenter, but it's obvious bs. It is a propaganda point that was placed somehow into the discussion and gets repeated again and again. In no world does it make any sense that an app like FB would not try to be in every big store, but here we are, having that "concern" repeated under every Apple sideloading discussion.

Propaganda is fucking awesome in how effective it can be. And equally dangerous.

Drug discovery is the easy part. Many of the molecules come out of publicly funded academic research. The hard, expensive part is running the large-scale human trials necessary to demonstrate the level of safety and efficacy needed for FDA approval. There is no way to do that cheaply. That's why patents are needed as an economic incentive.

In theory the government could nationalize the entire pharmaceutical industry but there is no evidence that bureaucrats are capable of reliably picking the right candidate drugs. Countries with weak IP protections do relatively little new drug development.
Abstract
This paper provides a summary of 35 years of data model proposals, grouped into 9
different eras. We discuss the proposals of each era, and show that there are only a few
basic data modeling ideas, and most have been around a long time. Later proposals
inevitably bear a strong resemblance to certain earlier proposals. Hence, it is a
worthwhile exercise to study previous proposals.
In addition, we present the lessons learned from the exploration of the proposals in each
era. Most current researchers were not around for many of the previous eras, and have
limited (if any) understanding of what was previously learned. There is an old adage that
he who does not understand history is condemned to repeat it. By presenting “ancient
history”, we hope to allow future researchers to avoid replaying history.
Unfortunately, the main proposal in the current XML era bears a striking resemblance to
the CODASYL proposal from the early 1970’s, which failed because of its complexity.
Hence, the current era is replaying history, and “what goes around comes around”.
Hopefully the next era will be smarter.
> For an alphabet to be phonetic...just that the letters carry only phonetic meaning and no semantic meaning, right?

Yes, exactly.

If the English alphabet wasn't phonetic, it would be impossible to even try to "sound out" words. Everything would be pictograms or logograms (e.g. icons).

English has a phonetic alphabet, but history and cultural contact* have made the phonics complicated and inconsistent, but it doesn't mean they aren't there.

* Including the garbage practice of adopting foreign words with literally no spelling changes whatsoever, which in modern times has been taken to such ridiculous degrees as adopting Pinyin spellings in favor of other Chinese romanization systems that are more suited to English phonetics. Why write "ts" when you can write "c" and have every Englishspeaking person mispronounce it?
It depends on the business. I sell to a couple of companies and have multiple experiences.

One of my clients is a team that has a budget and that team makes the decision without involving other parts of the co.

In another one of my clients the decision is taken by multiple depts, first the team that is gonna use the product gets in touch and we create a contract for them, then the legal dept is involved, after it's all clear the dept in charge of payments is involved. In that last step they tried to renegotiate the amount of the contract saying they didn't have that kind of money. I told them no problem and just went silent, a couple of weeks later they approved the contract.

Sometimes it takes 1 year 'til the client starts using (paying) the product, other times they are good to go in 1 week, most of the times it takes 1 month.
It's interesting that they will not accept any transfer-in, even reject a transfer, if the balance exceeds $250,000. This must be because of the FDIC insurance limit, and hence protects the consumer's savings. Quite the opposite of what some banks are trying to do: offer accounts that try to provide FDIC insurance over 250k by spreading your money among other banks.

What is art but communication, the best art is communicating the feelings and emotions of the artist, I think an AI can create content that emulates art but without the artist there isn't any communication of emotion. Much modern music is so industrialized and derivative I would say the level of emotion al communication is practically zero anyway though so I'm sure AI will have a great career in the "arts".

This is one of the main reasons I think advertising is harmful and all ads should be blocked. We don't have a problem with shortage of content, we have a problem with filtering out all the bullshit where they've put all the effort into search engine optimization and ad monetization, and no effort into creating content.

Ad apologists will claim "but how will we fund content creation!" and the answer is, if the content is actually good, people will be willing to pay for it--probably even if not forced to do so: lots of content creation is being funded by donations right now. "But that doesn't scale!" cries Hacker News. But what you mean is, it doesn't scale for a centralized entity that wants to collect rent on other people's work, and frankly, fuck those centralized entities. They're the ones creating the filtering problem. Paid, quality content creation inherently doesn't scale because it's inherently serial: a person/team creates one piece of content at a time. You can scale distribution, but you can't scale quality creation.

And the fact is, people will create because they want to create, even if they aren't paid to do so. Maybe they are paid, but that's secondary to the human need to create. As Quincy Jones said, "When you chase music for money, God walks out of the room."
That hasn't really been true for years. At the same temperature, FePO4 outperforms lead acid in voltage, discharge current, and capacity.

> Operation below freezing ambient temperatures requires a heater and heaters need energy.

No. Charging requires a heater, discharging does not. It's really not reasonable to say "operation" requires a heater. While you're discharging, you're worried about the capacity and duration, and running a heater is a huge problem. The slower your discharge, the more of an issue it is to run a heater.

While you're charging, it usually isn't. You're already losing plenty of power to the charger inefficiency, it just takes a little more power to keep it above ambient. If you're plugged in it's irrelevant.
Possibly this is preparation for TikTok being forced out of the store by the US government? But they'd still like to offer it, to avoid losing business to Android if that becomes the only platform with TikTok.

Yes but then you have to use those banks, set up accounts, deal with transfers, etc. Just wait, you'll be able to buy and sell stocks and open up an IRA with Apple here within a few years at this rate.

I also wouldn't call it below market rates. I'd call it "below the highest market rate" because rates for savings accounts vary and there isn't a standard "market rate".

When AMD64 came out, bios booting was dominant. You need real mode for that.

In today's world, you could probably release an UEFI only cpu and few would notice. But I doubt it would save enough space to make a difference. And you'd open yourself to criticism from those few that still use real mode: this processor is fake, they'd say, because it has no real mode.
Dewault has a 'sneaky' tactic. I just needed a battery. Tools run fine. You can't buy a new battery, of the legacy style, from the big box stores though. They do sell a battery adapter so you can use with their new style batteries with your existing tools. Now that you have a new battery to use with your old tools, might as well keep buying new tools to match that battery.
I used to attend O-RAN meetings for a major telecom, and this was always the major hurdle I envisioned for the adoption of these things. On the technical side, it's a fun problem and interesting work, but O-RAN and open source cellular lacks the organic growth other open source projects can enjoy. A comparison point was always the networking space. Open source routers/switches broke into the Juniper/Cisco market, but it doesn't work as well in cellular. Small businesses can buy 1 or 2 open source switches and in aggregate that can start to change the market. No small business is going to own their own spectrum and deploy an open source cell network. And moving to shared spectrum eliminates most of the advantages over WiFi.
I think the rate limiting is not based on which thread you're active in, but whether the mods have placed a rate limit on you. It's hard to say since it's not very transparent, but it seems the mods here are pretty liberal about dispensing permanent rate limit penalties.

US uses Common Law as derived from the UK's Common Law. In theory in both countries something has to be specifically forbidden.

In practice that's not something I'd bet my not-being-in-jail on in either country. Whatever foundation of "anything not forbidden is permitted" has been crusted up with so many layers of governmental power grab that whatever the theory may be, the practice is that if it is not explicitly permitted it is forbidden, and the only reason things not explicitly permitted are allowed is because they just don't happen to make a fuss about it today.

Adding to what the others are saying about Docker running inside a VM on Mac:

When it comes to running for example an Ubuntu docker container, it would share the Linux kernel running in the VM with other containers on the same host. The "Ubuntu" is the distribution packaged specifically for containers, meaning that the regular Ubuntu packaged kernel is not used and neither is the init system because the Linux distribution container images are meant to containerize single applications and traditionally do not need the concept of "services".

I'm sure it's possible to run systemd inside a container, just as some people run Cron and even X11 inside containers.
