When I was in driver's ed in high school in America, there was a push to teach 8 and 4.

As far as I am aware, teaching students 10 and 2 has long since been phased out supposedly due to the increase of arm injuries in the event of an accident. 9 and 3 wasn't recommended to us because if your air bag deploys, your right arm will smash into your passenger or the passenger air bag. 8 and 4 is supposed to be safer but it comes with the caveat that you have to steer your car a specific way.

That being said, I prefer 9 and 3 and it's hard to find drivers in America that don't use this position as their default.

I do, and have spoken to many who agree.
If you like long movies that let the story develop, do yourself a favor and watch Sleep, the 1964 classic.
Mate, I wouldn't worry about it. In Ireland you'd be fine, no different from someone in Scotland ranting at you about the Tories.
It might feel that way if your main experience of Germany is Berlin, but is not a risk for any of the rest of the country, including Munich with its fairly strong English-speaking expat community - Germans speak German to each other, and will politely ask you, the non-German, if it's ok to continue the meeting in German, but expect you to at least attempt to learn it.

I've not spent enough time in the Netherlands to speak to Dutch's future, but a big difference I can see is television and movies, even on streaming services: popular US shows are dubbed into German and it takes a bit of doing to get some of them with the original English soundtracks; Dutch has long been a target for subbing.

Curious what you mean by “too powerful”?
This response is a bit late sorry. I fully agree. Most programming languages already give you enough tools to write very simple and powerful state machines.

This works best with languages that have first class support for data literals and maps (or equivalent), such as JS, Clojure, etc.

But if you care a ton about performance you can encode the same with say enums and switch statements or similar. It's just a bit more work and you can't change the machines on the fly or generate them from data, which is a very powerful pattern you can put on top of this. But in many cases that's not needed.

---

You first define a map of states, where each key is the name of the state and each value is a map from event names to state names.

Say you have an on off toggle (very simple example):

On => Toggle => Off

Off => Toggle => On

Where On/Off are state names and Toggle is an event name.

Then, you define a map from two states to a function. We call them transition functions. Like so:

[On Off] => func()...

[Off On] => func()...

Inside the functions you would put side-effects directly (such as activating a light or changing a color, sending an email etc.), or maybe just describe side effects so another part of your program can handle them (which can be useful with larger programs as it makes testing easier).

Lastly, you define a state machine function that runs your program like so:

func(state, event) => if event is handled: trigger transition function and return new state, else: return current state

In many cases you want to simply ignore events that aren't handled in the current state of your state machine (like described above).

Sometimes though, you want to buffer events that are currently not handled in a queue and handle them later; that's a niche use-case in order to manage async events in a specific order.
You can install a cron job which compresses, encrypts and rsyncs/rclones your home backup weekly to somewhere. Or you can use BackInTime which can automatically encrypt and only backup changed files, again to a remote location.
I don't think it is true that this rock art is an example of significant culture that has never been censored or expurgated. The taboos and rules which apply to viewing this art and/or reproducing it or the linked stories are surely analogous to a form of censorship. The fact that people have broken those rules does not change this.
Do you consider AOC extreme? Or do you support her positive attitude towards cancel culture? The consequence of having an even moderately contrarian opinion these days is getting fired from your job, not to meantion mob violence and threats.

> I've deliberately sought the DVD edition of the unaltered original trilogy

Hindi and other Indo-Aryan languages are incredibly irregular, but when laid out on a chart it doesn't seem as daunting of a task as the initial prospect of learning 100 numerals for 0-100 would be. For example, if you know 22 is 'bais' and you know the tens place for thirty is 'tis' and sixty is 'sath' you can probably figure out what 'battis' and 'basath' are, although if you know 29 is 'untis' you won't be able to figure out what 'unsath' is from the examples provided in this post.

Irregularity isn't too uncommon though, just not to the same degree. Many Germanic languages have special words for eleven and twelve, with remnants of vigesimal are common throughout Europe. French and Danish were mentioned previously, with Danish having exceptions on top of that system. 23 being '3 and 20th' or 67 being '7 and 3 score' which makes sense, but 34 '3 and 30' and 45 '4 and 5 10s' breaking the rule, and numbers like 78 '8 and 3 score and half fourth score' really stretching the limits. The Celtic languages still use vigesimal and Breton at least has similar degrees of irregularity as Danish. Japanese numerals are also a mess, but that mostly stems from the differences in readings.

There's probably many more examples, but these are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head. The one notable exception being the Pirahã language, which has words for 'one' 'two' and 'many' and that's about it.

It is imperative to enforce the law and block internet platforms that fail to comply with legal regulations. The internet cannot serve as a sanctuary for promoting neo-Nazi groups and other illegal activities, as it must remain subject to legal jurisdiction. All individuals and organizations, whether online or offline, must be held accountable to the law. It is unacceptable to allow hate speech, homophobia, and the promotion of heinous crimes, such as child murder, to proliferate unchecked. The platform Telegram, for example, was rightfully blocked for refusing to provide authorities with phone numbers. It is essential that this platform and others that violate legal standards be severely punished to ensure compliance with the law.

>are solidly refuted by the popularity of the Long Movie, by multi hour podcasts, and by the binge watching phenomenon

It's only solidly refuted if those aren't skipped to death, or "followed" while the person does 4 other things at the same time. And of course if those represent the main way content is consumed nowadays, and not like a mere small percentage of our consumption. And if the person doesn't watch them while still having the attention span of a goldfish, and e.g. missing any longer narrative threads...
You’re right. Doctors and surgeons and nurses have been subjecting themselves to the discomfort of wearing face masks for decades before anyone ever heard of COVID because they didn’t work.
I hope it's OK to add a shameless plug for my Rust WASM framework, Silkenweb [0]. It's similar to Leptos and Sycamore in that it's signals based, but I've put a lot of effort into making it ergonomic without resorting to a macro DSL. It supports all the usual things like SSR and hydration, along with a few nice extras like scoped CSS.

A word of caution for anyone planning to use syncthing for backups.

Syncthing is designed as a sync solution but not explicitly for backups. You need some extra setup on top of the defaults for building a reliable backup solution.

If not setup correctly, any "mistakes" from one of the devices will automatically be synced to other devices and cannot be retrieved back.

In the case of a lost/stolen device, make sure you remove the device as soon as possible.
If not a bad actor now possessing the device can delete and sync that back to your "back-up" devices too.

Every time I look at anything to do with grid scale energy, you see just how important it is to distribute and diversify everything from sources of energy to geographic location to interconnects.

That’s not a GDPR issue other than if stored. And remember this is an app that already must send requests to the same place in order to function at all.
Fuck all telemetry (sharing any information which is not just "you have no control over" but anything which is not logically necessary for the app to do its primary job). Just don't use any apps you can block from doing this. IMHO this (sending redundant and untransparent information from a user's machine) should be outlawed.
I agree with this. I like physical controls in most places but purposely picked a touch-control stove because it is just so much easier to wipe down. The controls are a bit less convenient than knobs but the ease of cleaning makes up for it in my opinion.

>If local culture is still preserved, taught and celebrated, is a really a problem?

Yes because it won't be really preserved if you don't have speakers who use it as their main language since nothing new will be created, just relics of the past that will slowly be lost.

Most people other than highly-cosmopolitan minorities don't think they should lose their language, which is so deeply tied with how we even process our understanding of the world, by mapping concepts to words, with their culture and identity, just to make it easier for foreigners who can't be bothered to learn the local language.

The problem is that the minority is way more vocal and has more influencing power.
It is blackmail, plain and simple.

Some reading on the universality of free fall version of the strong equivalent principle, tested in a manifestly relativistic regime:

"Even Phenomenally Dense Neutron Stars Fall like a Feather --
Einstein Gets It Right Again"

https://public.nrao.edu/news/neutron-stars-fall/

More detail, Archibald et al. 2018, "Testing the universality of free fall by tracking a pulsar in a stellar triple system" (Nature volume 559, pages 73--76 (2018)) preprint: <https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.02059>.

If universality of free fall fails, so does the single metric / purely geometrical theory of General Relativity. That would be very exciting, so it has been looked for a lot.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tests+of+universality+of+free+fall...

You can recover a bit from your statement by considering that solutions of the geodesic equations can be a bit messy in manifestly relativistic or multi-body systems, and the equations of motion of components can be even messier. Nobody would disagree with that (it's why there's e.g. the (gravitational) Self-Force methods and the like; see e.g. <https://arxiv.org/abs/1501.07322v3>, which (cf. your second sentence) is useful when a compact mass (e.g. a neutron star) is in a close orbit around a 50x+ more massive black hole, bottom right corner of <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Newtonian_expansion#/medi...>).

> I think following the law is ethical, and copyright is not only the law, it follows directly from the Constitution.

Copyright was 14 years at the time of the Constitution. If it was still that, I’d have no problem waiting it out and only watching material 14 years old.

Following laws isn’t always ethical. The constitution also allowed slavery. Do you think owning slaves was ethical? There’s lots of instances where laws are out of sync with ethics and morality, and, hopefully change over time.

In the past 20 years gay marriage became legal and I would argue it’s always ethical. Same for recreational drug use. And therapeutic mdma and ketamine. The list goes on and on.

Especially when the copyright laws aren’t the result of some specific debate and determination but by very targeted lobbying by Disney and others to extend copyright from 14 years to its current length of life+70 years or 95 years for corporate works.

Upending copyright would have nothing to do with trademarks (perpetual as long as in use) or patents (usually 20 years) and can be reformed completely independently. Although those other IP topics could also be improved.

I’m not making a judgement on your beliefs or how you formed them. I don’t know you. But there are PR campaigns to promote copyright targeted toward school kids (remember “don’t copy that floppy” [0] and “you wouldn’t steal a car” [1]) and I think they are in alignment with “copying a friend’s video is like stealing bread” so you just seem to be using simile analogies. It’s quite possible that you reached the analogy independently. It’s also possible that you aren’t aware of how you reached this analogy and are influenced by advertising and PR, just like everyone else.

I keep searching xkcd, but all my efforts are frustrated, and this is as close as I get:

https://xkcd.com/908/

I distinctly recall a webcomic in the past few years lampooning cloud storage. There was a guy who said "hey, there's this guy down the street who lets me keep stuff on shelves in his garage." "What does he charge you?" "Nothing, he says it's just cool if I keep it there." and then the stuff is sold off or tampered with, the guy is irate, and the moral of the story is essentially "why did you trust a random guy with a garage to keep your stuff?"

The problem with many non-Silicon Valley regions (countries), is that many of them don't understand software technology. Politicians and investors in those countries simply ride the hype wave. If Ethereum/blockchain is a hot topic, they will ask to include that piece of tech.

Speaking of revisions, with the advent of AI technologies it doesn't seem like we're that far away from being able to fully remaster movies with drastic changes. Imagine that as part of a movie's localization process they changed every actor's race to match the destination. The closest existing example which I'm aware of is the original Power Rangers which spliced footage from the original Japanese version with American actors when they weren't fully suited up.

I wonder if that kind of thing will gain popularity. There's people that prefer dubs over subs, I wonder if the same principle can be extended to other aspects of a movie. Personally I'll probably stick with originals as much as possible.

Completely missing the mark here. Talking about education as part of the culture, is not also taking into account that African American communities were discriminated over a long period of time and had their culture and ability to build wealth suppressed. Nigerians were colonized, it’s true, but African Americans were enslaved and then subject to Jim-Crow era laws in addition to the current-day legal regime, which no doubt influenced African American culture and neighborhoods and basically most aspects of life. If you look at Nigeria today, there are certainly many parts of Nigeria where “western education” is not valued. But when you look at Nigerians who immigrated to the US, you’re not seeing the representative Nigerian demographic, just a small (elite) slice.

Additionally, you’re selecting out of the population when you just look at the minorities that were able to immigrate to the US. You should compare minorities that came to the US in representative chunks of the greater population — perhaps war refugees although even these communities have skews based on the nature of their immigration to the US.
