I would say so, compound words are a defining feature of the German language, especially with the ability to make up words on the spot if required ("Gelegenheitsbildung"). Many of the words in the article are also compound words (e.g. "Spätkauf", "Rundfunk").

It's not possible to say the same thing without using compound words without heavily modifying the sentence structure. It would be in English, if you translate it directly, but it isn't in German:

"Sie sind die Neologismusbildungsmeister" vs "Sie sind die Meister im Bilden von Neologismen"

If those compound words are only a spelling convention, the question would be, where do we draw the line. Does "Firefighter" count, or do only the words it is made of, "Fire" and "Fighter"? "Railroad"? "Notebook"? :D
It's frightening how Microsoft, a company well known for decades of history of being anti consumer and shady managed to get a large vocal part of the internet to vocally defend them going for a monopoly in video game editing. As if them already having monopolies over so many major tech markets wasn't bad enough.
Please provide an example, preferably one where the editing was done on a scale comparable to the one happening currently.
When I consider this, I don't think there's any legacy there to ruin. The only thing that made the first movies watchable was gone long before Disney bought it up.

Dev Deletes Entire Production Database, Chaos Ensues [video]
Our car has a decent sized touch screen and I think it's great. I can browse Spotify rather whatever CD I left in the car 3 years ago, I can use Google maps rather than the rubbish build in navigation, I can set the clock to BST without getting the manual out etc.

However, none of the cars primary controls are on the touch screen. Air-conditioned, volume, gear selector, menus for range and fuel consumption all have physical buttons.
So did I, so did I ... ;(

I still have memories of people like lawyers desperately asking me how they could use blockchain in their practice.
Highly recommend this related short story by China Miéville: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/apr/22/china-mieville...
True in the abstract. But between also-ran countries which get obsessed with creating their own "national champion" mega-companies, and the stable of mega-donors which you need to have a meaningful political career these days, and the win-at-any-cost culture wars...

Strong disagree about response time. There is a huge difference between a quick glance and tap, and having to watch an interface and figure out if it registered the touch or not. An unresponsive screen demands significant extra attention because you have to monitor it.
Stating the obvious like GP did doesn't mean superiority or superiority complex. Your comment on the other part...
It can all be done without blockchain. Blockchain is not needed for anything. Anything built on blockchain is likely to be a grift and a scam.

Read the actual armed forces report. Would you like me to upload it somewhere?

Page 4, they recommend that access be given to the libraries referenced by the code. In other words, those libaries weren't audited.

Page 5, they say they noticed that the internet was accessed during the software compilation process for the purpose of downloading third party libraries. They outright say that this is an attack vector.

The rest of the document more or less verifies that everything is as expected after the final binary has been cryptographically signed. This is expected, any tampering necessarily occurred before the binary was signed.

Auditing source code doesn't matter given the nature of the attack vector. Protesters asking for source code will be embarrassed when they publish it and nothing is found. I'll only be satisfied if they publish the actual signed binary which ran on every machine on election day, the whole world looks at it with reverse engineering tools and finds nothing. Then I'll accept brazilian elections as legitimate.
A free market for content provider essentially means that they can do whatever they want with their content and rights to it.

Since I can't remember the exact quote, the final two lines of Pompo the Cinephile are something like:

We did. Anything with blockchain in it is a scam. This year the bandwagon should be AI.
I suppose for solving the chicken-egg (provider-subscriber) problem, being able to pre-sell the token at a discount or because people believe it will blow up and be a popular way of accessing the internet and highly in demand, it may irrationally be easier to convince the average person to subscribe to your centralised 'blockchain' than to your.. database. A ponzi's sexier than a pre-order.

> Blacks can't sing about how that makes them feel. So not all people are equally allowed to express their artistic vision or their feelings...

Okay, freedom of speech is (de jure) universal, and should be (de facto) universal, i think we can agree on that.

> so the ask is for others to tone it down as a hoped for step in the right direction

I don't think asking people to not express themselves would be a step in the right direction. Isn't that the opposite of freedom of expression ?
Well, then you haven't witnessed the beauty of What.cd or PTP. A bunch of data hoarders with webseeds. Find that rare promo release from 1978 on Vinyl? Check. Get a lossless copy of a professionally digitized Laserdisc release of a film? Check.
This is a really helpful find thanks.

If there are any other libraries folks have seen out there like this, I’d love to try them out.
Do _you_ want to be on the side that argues that our modern interpretations of age of consent may be a fad? Or that one day science may provide incontrovertible evidence that racism is entirely rational and appropriate?

Arguing these is pointless, because they are violate dogmas that underpin our modern ideology. They are not up for argument. If another ideology suggests that racism is actually a-ok, then we consider it clearly flawed, because dogmatically, ideologies that come to that conclusion must be flawed. And not just flawed, because these fundamental dogmas are what shapes our notions of "good" and "evil". Not adhering to these dogmas makes you evil.

I must add, this is not a fallacy of some sort. If I were thrown into another society where everyone approves of racism, I am still attached to my personal dogmas. I would consider such a society unjust and warped. As a matter of fact, there's plenty of personal dogmas our current society violates, and I consider our current society and its ideology unjust and flawed.

Which raises another point, which is that our society does not have a monolithical ideology. It has an emergent ideology that arises from common agreement, but there's plenty of people in our society these days who disagree with several of the dogmas. And that's what makes them "bad" or "evil".

The only way to argue someone out of a personal dogma is to convince them that whatever your dogmas are is reflective of absolute good, evil, and/or truth. This is the subject of what is likely one of the oldest philosophical debates and has spawned several religions.
And every time, we should be mad. Or just embrace the firemen in 451.
major streaming platforms and the criterion collection stream and promote "birth of a nation" because "art".

What utter willful ignorance this is!

I use that example because that "work of art" is largely responsible for the revival of the clan.

Artists like to think art depicts life but the opposite is also true, art influences the world around us.

Even something silly like censoring curse words and nudity based on modern sensibilities is an attempt to control art's harmful influence on the world around us.

Speilberg's comments are the equivalent of a famous Chef claiming health regulations on restaurants should not be made by modern understanding of medicine and food safety.

I did the same. Plus also I'm using on my Android phone. Replaces Dropbox completely unless I want to share something with other people. But for that case I usually use Sharing feature from Synology NAS.
Yes, but that was not bias. That was done deliberately and falsified history. It comparable to attempts to adapt history for the sensibilities of today.

The US will lose, especially if China times it to coincide with the war with Russia, and North Korea invading the South.
Working on a product vs working on a project. The latter means that the usefulness of the thing produced is a non-goal because the customer is not a user.

I've deliberately sought the DVD edition of the unaltered original trilogy. The editing that makes Greedo shoot first looks cheap. It also doesn't make sense; someone pointing a gun at you is a clear sign of intent, and Han was simply defending himself. Han's decision to shoot first was also in line with his character as the rogue for hire.

Agh, I know the series is still raking in millions. But I can't enjoy the edits because my brain cries 'blasphmeny!'

Well, if the wars against drugs, against terror and against pedophiles didn't work as intended, we now have the war against racists, maybe this one will work.

"What do you get when you cross a computer with a car?" "A computer!"

It's a "Riddle for the Information Age" that in Alan Cooper wrote in 1999 [1] in "The Inmates Are Running the Asylum". One of the riddles is: "what do you get when you cross a computer with an airplane?" but things have gotten much much worse since then, it needs an update with the contents of this article.

He writes: "That something like this slipped through shows that the software inside the car is not coming from the same Porsche that makes the rest of the car... Acceptable levels of quality for software engineers are far lower than those for more traditional engineering disciplines..."

We have seen this coming for 20 years now easily. iDrive happened and excuses were made.

Nobody cares about response times or human-oriented design, it seems, which is incredibly baffling in a car! Where the rest of the controls are supposed to be designed with humans in mind.

My 2022 Subaru's Harman Kardon-built head-unit will block out my entire navigation view for 3 seconds if I dare to brush the volume control with my hand. I've learned to not adjust it after that because doing so only prolongs the time that I can't see where I'm supposed to be going. Also, if I am so unlucky as to lower the volume while the navigation speaks, I end up adjusting the "voiceover volume" and not the "radio/media volume." So when I wonder: "hey why did the navigation stop talking?" I have to remember that I hit the unlucky time to use the invisbily-modal volume knob. Of course, nobody cares and they let this travesty out the door because it's just the "entertainment system."

Yes, that's what it means to not be on anyone's side, you take advantage of whomever is most desperate to make money from them (Russia right now). Then switch to doing the same from the other side if the tides change.
Touchscreens on ticket machines. They don't work when it is sunny, cloudy, raining or snowing. And even when working, ticket machines with physical buttons are just way faster and easier.
It only betrays their own insecurities and lack of restraint, doesn't it? If your morals are so strong then you needn't be worried about something you've presumably already experienced in private.

I don't know how it's managed on your phone, but I get an option per WiFi network on my phone to control whether I use a random MAC address or a my phone's.
Dropbox is still alive? wow
The current way torrents are designed is poor for archiving, because if you change the structure of the torrent even a little bit, the whole torrent has to effectively be recreated. Which is a problem if you didn't like the naming conventions used by the original seeder, or want to reorganise somehow. I believe there are already implementations that fix this, but they're not really being used.
Rising the cost and accessibility to energy is dangerous and leads to deaths.

Some kind of progressively increasing tax could possibly provide a disincentive. If it's based on turnover/sales rather than profit (to avoid creative accounting), then a merger would increase the tax burden compared to keeping two companies separate. It would also penalise the very biggest players, but maybe that would benefit the smaller companies and encourage greater market choice.
this take is a little bit too simplistic. There are use-cases where you are bound to a web-based framework but JS solutions are just not fast enough, e.g. data visualisations via jupyter notebooks. So you're stuck with some horribly slow solutions or non-interactive ones giving you pngs. Since you're plotting data, the text is minimal and the needed dialogs etc. are also minimal (clicking on a point and getting a label) or having a few options to rotate/turn on some features/zoom. And pngs with rendered text is as inaccessible as it gets, although data-visualisation may be fundamentally incompatible with accessibility tools since it is all about seeing stuff.

So I usually produce pngs via matplotlib and only selectively use interactive, js based, visualisations but they are get so unbelievable slow quickly when that your whole tab freezes.
Oh I also have shared folders with other people. We used to use it for sharing audio files between podcast presenters, which worked well enough. I have half a dozen folders in my $HOME, shared with different groups of people.

I also have Syncthing installed on my home server which gets backed up. So I have a copy of all my files backed up there, in the event a laptop goes missing or dies.

The only use case I haven't yet covered is an off-site backup of my Syncthing folder, which would be sensible. I just don't know who I can trust with it.
Seems abandoned. But Lazarus is doing well, although I doubt there are many Pascal users.

There was a time when Pascal was almost as popular as C. In school we learned Pascal after learning Basic and before learning C. I think in US the East coast preferred Pascal and the West coast preferred C.
One could argue that removing the clothes and the overpaint is just as wrong. It bears as a good reminder of the puritan era, of its destructive tendencies, and we are in some way still part of that era. It can also be a good whataboutist example when people are shocked that Taliban destroy the faces of ancient statues. Let's not try to obscure the barbarity of our ways. People who are scared of an uncertain future, trying to conceal the past.
That was true and it might be true for most of the production process, but as you may read in this article https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/02/mercedes-ceo-tells-ars-... they are actively working to change and speed up the software development process:

Källenius explained the current system to Ars Technica like this:

"So some engineer in Sindelfingen comes up with a concept. You have to write that down. You have to send it to the supplier that needs to be quoted. Then procurement people need to negotiate with each other. Then that supplier goes to some sub-supplier in Eastern Europe and wherever they do. It goes back up the chain again. It gets tested and nine months later, you have actually changed something in your infotainment system. Now you go into the ESH [Mercedes' electric Software Hub]. To say, let's change this and you just do it."
OK, I just took a quick glance at the Norwegian BOSCH website, and all I saw was that touch interface. Glad they still exist...
Jesus is both a libertarian and a socialist. It depends how you read it and whom you ask.
That's exactly my point. A lot of people started with dynamic websites by using cheap webhosting that you FTP'ed your PHP files to, and used PhpMyAdmin to manage your smallish database, and 2000-2009 they still formed a strong portion of market for starting out (I chose 2009 because that's when EC2 becomes more accessible for this due to RDS)
That's what happens when output increases massively, budgets drop by 50%, and there's a constant pressure to be first
> The amount of stuff that was seen as acceptable was much lower.

I used to take that for granted as well, until I realized that I had never actually seen any evidence to support it, and my own observations have led me to conclude that it is quite possibly false. Many great books from the early and mid 20th century would never get published today.
That's the optimal solution, IMHO.

You don't want to enter an address in the navigation system with buttons or a scroll wheel, that's just horrible. So you still need that touchscreen, but hopefully not while driving, or only very rarely so.

All the functions that you often need while driving should be accessible with buttons or other forms of UI that give you tactile feedback, and which you don't have to see to engage.
I checked my pi-hole query log and couldn't find any reference to the named telemetry address.
Yeah, when a gpu is involved it is often cheaper to process everything rather than check what meeds to be processed.

My highly subjective opinion is Crowdstrike's naming convention is the best and every other security company should use that for public material but use whatever naming convention they want in private.

I've been in situations where I would find attribution to an actor for something I am looking into but I had no idea $randomvendor was talking about the same actor $anothervendor had quite a bit of concerning write ups on until much later on.
“spontan” means in fact both spontaneously and, when used in a planning context, “let’s play it by ear”.
So you plan to have lunch but keep it “spontan”, meaning for example that you expect each other to plan closer to the date, maybe even the same date.
It’s a very Berlin thing I have to say.
At the same time, spontan is even mocked to be a way to kindly part ways.
You don’t really want to have another date? Then at the end you don’t make plans and say “lassen wir uns mal spontan treffen”, meaning you won’t probably ever meet again.
This looks quite cool.
What about racist stereotypes?

I also pour beer (multi-talented, I know) and my opinion is yes, it is beer. Most common types of beer are between 3% (typical mid-strength “crisp” beers start here) and 7% (typical IPAs top out here), but you also have light beers down at 2% and imperial stouts up at 12%. Specially brewed craft beers go as high as 20%, I don’t see why it would stop being beer if you go as low as 0%.

Where this might get contentious is that zero alcohol beer is made the same way as beer but doesn’t serve the same purpose (inebriation), while oat milk is made a different way to milk but does serve the same purpose. I’m of the opinion that you only need one of the two out of {same purpose, same production} to use the same name.
They did not "simply ignore" the court order. They did give the data they had, thats being all info about the groups owner. Furthermore, the court asked for info such as CPF number, home address and Bank account information. How the hell is this reasonable?
Furthermore, if you just blocked every platform just because it "had nazis on it", or even better, any kind of criminal group, hell, you should just block the whole damn internet already.

I hope for a future where we don't even have "protected classes" and excess reactions/caution/sensitivity, because discriminating based on someone's skin color or sexual orientation is as strange and uncommon as discriminating based on their eye color or introversion. And we can represent people as they are while respecting them with them being fine with it, because everyone has flaws and redeeming qualities and ignoring them doesn't make them go away.
