Indeed. The social cohesion in Germany was bad to begin with. This is what happens when you are occupied territory for more than 70 years. But mass immigration destroys the last glimmer of hope for self governance.
You do not. From a cultural standpoint the only visible trend I have ever seen is German kids picking up migrant trends.

Of course after over a decade most children come out of it with enough German. But that is integration only on the thinnest level imaginable.
Never heard the term "serendipitous encounter"?
What is found archeologically is almost "random" out of what is made; things thrown away into a dump are more likely to be "recovered" at some point (if anyone bothers/cares) than things that are just disposed of randomly in the wilderness.

And the chance it is discovered and wondered about goes up significantly if climate change wipes out 99% of human population and society; because archeological digs are only interesting when it's a previous "mysterious" society; otherwise we just have historical preservation.

I never have any installation or breakage issues with desktop apps and crashes are very few and far between nowadays.

In contrast so many websites track every single little action I do, waste massive amounts of energy on said tracking/showing ads/invading my privacy, and have a crap user experience chock full of dark patterns.

I'm my own best customer. I write software that I want to use, and use it.

Writing my modules as full-fat, generic, supported, MIT-licensed libraries, means that their Quality is top-notch. I don't like to worry about my dependencies, and I like to be able to reuse them, if possible.

It also helps people to take me seriously, although that seems to be a rather optimistic approach. In my experience, almost no one ever looks at my work, and they usually just attack me, because I'm old, and come across as an "OK Boomer," whatever that means to you.

> because it means they need to assume full responsibility when relying on software in their multi-million-dollar business that was probably developed by a tired young parent or college student who didn't get enough sleep.

As the comedian says, "So, what's your point?"

They make a ton of money, from someone else's work. They don't give a damn about the other person, except as someone to bitch to, when they feel cranky. As long as the license doesn't say they need to pay, or open their own work, then why should they care?

I was just looking at adding a feature to my app for converting long/lat to timezones. This seems straightforward, until you look at a timezone map[0].

It's entirely possible to create my own mapping program, by splicing together some geo points, and a table, but I was wondering what was out there.

There's a number of choices, but they tend to want eye-watering prices. The open source stuff is basically an open toolbox.

I'll probably be rolling my own, into a Swift package. I may open-source it, just to be a dick, but I don't really want to be supporting a popular package.

Even more silly to me is that certain Russian operatives had accounts on Russian social media under their real name, with profile pic and everything. So once under suspicion it was embarassingly easy to confirm who they were.

What are you doing now? Surely there are better ways...
No. What you are linking to is exactly what I was talking about, and you should carefully read what you are linking to: This only applies to some states. In the typically more conservative, right-wing southern ones, pupils with deficiencies in German are required to attend German lessons. In the typically more left-wing northern states, such requirements tend to be frowned upon, and even a voluntary offering of remedial German lessons is often not provided.

Also, the agency you are linking to is responsible for recent immigrants. That is relevant because some states offer German lessons only to refugees, asylum seekers, etc. But not to children born in Germany, sometimes even with citizenship, who nonetheless do not speak sufficient German because their parents don't. This group is a significant part of the problem.

It's not, but it's completely reasonable to be frustrated when a business partner (which they certainly were) changes their approach without adequate notice and without appearing to care to make any concessions to continue the relationship. Especially when you are being misrepresented publicly (that last part was the point where the apollo dev actually became adversarial: previously he was simply saying it didn't look like he would be able to continue with the app).

The majority of actual rage is coming from the users who are having an interface they liked taken away from them, especially because they perceive (quite reasonably) that this is for money-grabbing reasons and not for the long-term health of the site.

I think reddit would have had less blowback at this point if they had outright banner 3rd-party apps like twitter did, instead of spending the whole lead-up claiming that they would not be doing the same thing as them, only to effectively do the same but less honestly.

I thought Kagi was a payment processor. Did they pivot?
It's not apples vs apples. Literally and figuratively. The I/O or board features on PC boards will eat power. So you will end up with a 15-30 W idle vs probably 5-8 for the Mac. I doubt the PCIe on the pro does much to the power unless there is an extra I/O die on system, you need active chips to eat power. That is vs Intel.

AMD will add a bunch more watts to the idle number as their multi CCX CPUs just eat more power at idle. You'll be closer to 30-45 W idle. This is a guess, it's widely acknowledged but not really quantified that I've found.

AMD monolithic dies are more in line with Intel. IE the laptop/mini PC line will be nice and low.

The difference is vastly diminished when you add the display that's using 80 Ws. So that's 85 vs 100 W total system power? 15% difference that gets bigger when you peg your processor.

Apple numbers are better in pretty much every way on power. But we're talking a handful of watts. Even at really high power rates it isn't going to add to up much.

Sources: I have a Mac mini and an Intel raptor lake desktop. I take measurements. And I have read various sources. This is my best information.
Sounds like a one-size-fits-all proposal by an utter idiot. (Admitting that the situation may be such that Meidinger himself has no viable alternative.)

Vs. - the primary school I attended had 3 classes of students per year. At the start of the school year, they gave reading and math proficiency tests to students starting their final year, and - for those two subjects only - shuffled kids around so that reading and math lessons were in classes with similar proficiency levels. That required ~zero extra resources, and there was no fuss made over it.

If Germany could somehow lock up all the bureaucrats, hotheads, and idiots...how easily could the German teachers (at least those in schools large enough to have a few full classes per year level) do something similar?
I am not sure what you are comparing to what here.
This isn't even true in it's face. The lingua franca the term is derived from was a trading language across different cultures. It was used across the Mediterranean when there was a common language due to geopolitical or religious barriers. The need for such a language has only increased with increased global connectivity and global commerce. This is the same role it's filing in places like the EU, where only a small population speaks it natively, but it's a working language of the central bank and and the European Commission. In India and South Africa, it's lack of a native population has actually helped it maintain it's status, as other potential languages of commerce/government (for example Hindi in India and Afrikaans in SA) are associated negatively with nationalistic political movements for a majority of the population. Even in a country like Vietnam, where you would think a negative history with the United States would discourage it's use, over 50% of its population has some use of it. Overall, I just think it's hard to see any sort of trend of English lessening as a lingua franca.

At least one of the entry points to that relatively small area is a border crossing between NJ and NY, so I think even if the feds don’t own the infrastructure involved (IDK if they do or not), they at least had to sign off on it.
The resource that is in conflict is political attention. The more politicians and voters focus on EVs, the less is done to improve the walkability and public transit in our cities. EVs distract us from the real enemy: traffic.
This seems like a good way to shift the blame for climate change to individual people who are powerless to do anything to stop it.
How many hours of English per week do German primary schools actually teach? I know for sure that thanks to federalism it varies hugely across Germany.
Big disks have their place; both as selling "large bulk storage" to cloud users (most cloud systems use SSD as the "main/OS" drive now anyway) but also as near line backup storage.
Yet that was the business model from day one, no?

Every contributor and consumer of every post on Reddit was being exploited for profit. That’s why social media platforms exist, to exploit its users for profit.

The users are the product, always have been. It’s unfortunate, but the internet is businesses all the way down.
That’s the plan
As long as it is the mainstream media doing the talking, not independents, there was never any issue. They can put the final spin on things in ways which benefit the government/finance anyway. (which independents might not) Some stuff will also never reach the mainstream media, take something like the Comet Pizzeria for example.
The people fantasizing about violence are usually the first to run when the war breaks out. If someone uses violence to further their goals, they are a terrorist and case closed.

The problem is that every one has different views of what the ship going north means. If you permit violence, then many groups will use it…don’t be surprised when some religious extremists use it because “they’re killing babies!”
I bet it heavily depends on teachers and curriculum. I had English classes from first grade and at the end of school I was fluent in written and spoken English.

But the curriculum was not even close to what they teach in most schools. It was pretty hardcore. The groups were small (10 students max) and the teachers were relentless and actually cared.
Less people are better for the environment, no matter their lifestyle.

Message identifiers force you to confront the fact that two messages which sound the same in English might not sound the same in other languages.

I used an app that used Gettext for translation and had this problem. The string "banned" appeared in two places, once as a filter (to only show online / moderator / banned users) and once as a status indicator on the list of users (to indicate that a given user is banned). In English, the word "banned" is the same regardless of whether you're referring to a single user or a group of users, but that isn' true in other languages.

If you're developing with Gettext, you usually get this wrong and then translators have all sorts of issues. If you use something like Fluent, the natural thing to do is to give the first string an identifier like `user_list_filter_banned` and the second an identifier of `user_status_banned`.

As far as I understand, Fluent also lets you pass seemingly extraneous data to translation strings (like the user's gender), which, in some languages, might be necessary to translate something like "%s has just sent you a new message."

> English will make you king, the local lingo will do nothing but allowing you to read the literature. It's important, but really shouldn't be a priority imho.

Because most jobs outside of IT require you to be fluent in the local language as that's what all business is done in. No matter what sector. Even if you work in IT, if you're a sysadmin for example, you still have to be able to communicate with the business dept, other employees, software and documentation is in the local language, and so on.
You make a good observation, but it can also go the other way. There are bright immigrant/expat kids who don't speak German well initially, but by being treated the same as native speakers, they catch up by third or fourth grade sufficiently, and in addition also learn English to comparable levels (or better) as the German kids. This leads to good integration, and they would not be well-served by being put on a "dumbed down" track. The curriculum is by and large so light anyway (compared to e.g. Eastern European countries), that sharper kids coast through without much challenge.
Before improving density we need to provide more transit options so people think they can live without a car. Suburbs can support great transit for less cost than a car for everyone, but they cannot support the bad transit they get as people can afford to drive.
Well, historically, you know, nuclear weapons research involved a lot of cavalier scientists doing dangerous things with limited knowledge, and of course in the early days, there was plenty of above-ground range testing; is that something you want included as well?

If my information is correct, I believe that nearly all nuclear testing these days is 100% simulation on supercomputers, which is as safe as safe can be, as long as you can trust supercomputer simulations to render the correct answer to those trusting researchers.

None of that makes any sense. Having Western military bases in Germany harms social cohesion? What? Social cohesion in Germany is high anyway. Nothing you say makes any sense, the conclusions and reasoning are both wrong. You're not a serious person. Also people like you normally argue that more immigrants means more disorder, so I am really not convinced your stance is even remotely coherent.

This review was one of the most unexpectedly thought-provoking pieces I’ve read in weeks. Ambush-y.

Finding it here on HN is entirely consistent (for me) with one of the ways I suspect some people use this site, which is as a repository for certain kinds of articles, papers and stories they imagine half a dozen people here might also appreciate. Sometimes they are right.

I looked up the author of the review and her other published work. This led to an issue of Zyzzyva, the San Francisco literary magazine, and fiction titled Biodome by Juhea Kim. I ordered the issue from eBay.

They should get rid of early English and teach the kids the language of their neighbours.

My ( German ) grandfather spoke polish and check, my grandmother spoke French and Dutch. It used to be normal to know enough of the language from the other side of the border to get by, at least until WW2.

The only people who should worry about English is those in the Center of the country.

The subject of seniority and progression to management pops up from time to time here in HN, and we usually see the same tired arguments. Managers are useless, it's not real work, seniority is an illusion, etc etc.

There's nothing wrong with being good at your job and not wanting to change your role. But it's obvious that in most situations, progressing to other roles is necessary if you want to have more influence and control over your product - and usually higher compensation as well. In a professional kitchen, obviously the person actually cooking has to be really good. That doesn't mean this person gets to choose the menu of the restaurant, and their name also won't be displayed outside. They are more easily replaceable than a chef, even if they are very competent technically. As most things in life, it's all about trade-offs, I just think that ignoring what the actual pros and cons are will lead you to bad decisions down the line.

That's fascinating. It must be so frustrating to exist in a world where everyone you talk to is constantly hallucinating alternate versions of the past, and you're living the real version of it.
I think the problem is that eng. managers have not much control regarding how many meetings they have (and at what time they are scheduled). Being meetings the big chunk if their day to day work, that restricts the amount of freedom eng. managers usually have.

For engineers it’s different: we have complete control regarding when to work, and we don’t have as many meetings as eng. managers have. So there’s more freedom in my opinion.

I think it’s not very realistic for a manager to say: I’ll work extra today so tomorrow I’ll work only 1h (because you probably have meetings to attend that you cannot postpone). As engineer, I work whenever I want and rest whenever I need it (as long as I meet deadlines and the like)
Is it even worth running something like badblocks before adding drives anymore?

I guess if you want to be absolutely sure it's "clean" but most drives do intelligent remapping internally anyway, so "add and scrub afterwards" may be the way to go.

Just to share some insights from our local rural primary school (where I am the head of the parent's association and have regular conversations with the school principal about personnel) and from a primary school in Berlin Kreutzberg (where my sister is a teacher):

Schools get a number of "teaching hours" allotted based on the number of children attending that school (some children might be classed as requiring more hours, i.e. those with certified special learning requirements). It is universally accepted (except by the politicians setting those hours) that these are insufficient to actually provide the supervision and support to have the learning outcomes that are desirable and demanded by government/parents. They also do not cover additional (but foreseeable) requirements due to illness, etc.

No school actually has all of these teaching hours covered because there are simply not enough teachers to go around. Even if, by some miracle, 100% of hours are covered at the beginning of the year, every teacher that leaves during the year due to illness, pregnancy, etc. is pushing down coverage.

Because of the lack of actual teachers, the hours are also increasingly covered by people transferring from other professions. These are counted as full teaching staff, but are obviously not as qualified as actual teachers. Teachers are also expected to do a lot of stuff that is not teaching, i.e. school administration, social work, counseling, etc.

My personal guess is that in most schools, you would actually need about 130% of the teaching hours currently allotted to provide a quality education for all pupils, while schools in special situations (i.e. large migrant populations) would need probably more like 150-200%. In reality, the typical school probably has only 80-90% of allotted hours available (some of which are covered by non-teachers) with schools in special situations often having even less, because they are typically situated in places with more budgetary constraints/not a desirable workplace.
Language influences the way we think, however I agree that would be better to focus on single universal language. Multiple local languages just create additional barriers in communication. I can't just move to Germany, France or Spain, because unless you fluently know their language, you're more or less disabled person that requires translations.
The state of traffic accident recovery is also concerning. Handling crashed EVs that might have caught fire hasn't been completely sorted out yet.
