True, but they are very serious and diligent in their actions.

They have been nothing but rational and respectful in everything they have done so far.

You can see it in the writing of the article, it's methodical, logical, and rely strongly on facts through quoting documents.

This have been consistent for years, something I give them a lot of credits for.

Besides, no matter the political orientation of the govt, I think it's safe to say no group at the top was not worth of opposition during the last decades. So it's nice to have movements like La Quadrature that keep them in check.
Well, in fact, people with knives are considered potential killers in France, to the discretion of the police officer searching you/your car/etc.

You have a small opinel knife at the bottom of your backpack to cut your saucisson and the police is in a bad mood? Straight to jail.
I think it is largely a mirage. Certain drugs make us feel like we’ve “broken through” or “figured it all out”. We might write down these incredible insights, hoping to share them with the sober world as a kind of prophet. And the next day we read these words of truth, “Purple banana, awesome blofohga!”
Potentially true, but this doesn't give you reactivity or state management.

Maybe this is like a logic bomb but for authoritarians. Try to convince Macron or random police officers that they too are _potential_ terrorists and watch them go cross eyed.
Yeah, as much as saying 'using encrypted communications' is a very cheap shot by the prosecution, this seems to be the gist of it, the combination and the organization

Interesting. This is about Welsh: "Likewise, diwrnod ‘day’ goes back to Latin diurnāta, apparently an alternative word for ‘day’ that also led to French journée and Italian giornata."

In Danish the word 'døgn' indicates a day and a night (24 hours). I don't know if these words have a shared origin, but it sounds plausible (not a scientist).
Yes, but the problem here is not that, it's the arguments used to build the case.

They have not been any evidence of criminal activities by those people. So far, all what they have against them is "they are protective about their privacy".

That's a terrible reason to arrest and maintain people in jail.

I think it's work either way. You either spend brain-time on memorizing the intricacies of a lot of prebuilt tools, and how / when one might apply them (modern c++) - or you dispense with the many tools, and spend your brain time on memorizing relatively few, but with more effort and detail required on their application. (C). I prefer the latter, but as you say - it's probably linked to personality to some extent, and quite "baked in".

I do not think this is true in all cases. The whole platform economy has so little to fear from actual competition that they could afford to avoid dark patterns and overall take a small loss in profitability. It is only that they do not want to eat even the small loss.

I think you have a misunderstanding of what an abstraction is. An abstraction is a simplification, something that hides the details to provide a simple interface to access.

Data Types merely pack data and provide soundness in how you process it. You can pack the data as you want, show everything and be fine.

OOP Languages pack objects and use them to build abstractions, that's it. A strong type system doesn't mean you need to hide implementation details and build babushkas of abstractions. It simply means that the type system reduces the number of programs you can write by making sure your code adheres to some soundness checks.
I gave Helix a shot, and I immediately ran into a wall due to an undocumented limitation where in a language configuration, indentation can only be up to 8 spaces. (I'm working on an Assembly project with an indentation of 12 spaces to make more room for labels.)

I checked the source code to figure out what the heck was going on, and I found this: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/207829eefee51095d...

Pretty often, my projects have weirdly specific needs like this. I think (Neo)Vim's greatest strength is that it always absolutely has some way of covering a weirdly specific need, whether a one-off command or a project configuration. But that seems to be against Helix's philosophy.

If Helix can't be the editor, then I can't justify taking the time to learn it. It makes me sad, though, because I really like what it's going for.
Basically yes
I do a similar hack: when I feel especially "procrastinaty" and can't seem to get into doing the thing I'm supposed to I break things that I have on my plate down to lists with sublists that often have sublists (that often have sublists, recurse).

It's not always useful, but it does eventually consume enough resources to starve the anxiety thread and some of these lists end up as the (pre)analysis for the tasks I'm supposed to be working on.

Sometimes I don't get a good list for the task I'm currently expected to solve but I make progress on some other thing that piqued my interest. This helps me justify spending the time on just making lists because not all of it is useless and lessens the anxiety about not getting anything done.

When I do get a good enough list for the thing I'm supposed to be doing I usually feel less anxiety about doing it because I know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.
I think this person, Gareth Young, has at some point worked for Covington (one of those LinkedIn scrapers seems to have caught their profile: https://www.arounddeal.com/p/gareth-young/m6oymuxsnd/ but those sites are usually trash so who knows when this was still relevant).

Here's an article from 2014 mentioning the same person: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/child... and a listing which puts Gareth with Covington & Burlap in 2018: https://www.resultsbase.net/event/4529/results/2491300

These people seem to have a history of bullshit takedowns: http://www.gregthatcher.com/Financial/THATCHER_TO_HOWARD_009...

The ciu-online domain is hosted by https://www.ravensbay.co.uk/ which "developed a high performance database system to automatically track infringements and issue notices to website owners and other parties who are publishing their client’s intellectual property" and "maintain and develop automated web crawlers to search the internet for possible infringements and analyse the page content to identify actionable cases".

Based on the status of various URLs in the IPFS.io and Cloudflare IPFS gateway, I'm guessing these people are searching IPFS for copyright violations and forwarding takedowns to any IPFS gateway they can find. The timeouts the author has experienced may simple be because there is no server online that has the file pinned anymore. Grabbing the file from a random NFT IPFS host, it does seem like most of these links do indeed return copyrighted material.

Does one need to visit an IPFS relay to file a DMCA takedown? I would expect so, but the DMCA does allow anyone with good intentions to take down copyright (you only need to really believe that you have a claim on a DMCA takedown, an actual legal basis is only relevant after a counter filing).
Kakoune has some good ideas, eg. piping commands into it and having the editor immediately execute them is a really good one. Reminiscent of acme for Plan9, which exposes virtual files for its buffers and to receive commands, which makes it really convenient to develop tools for it.

That all being said, Kakoune simply doesn't offer enough for me to use it over vim. One of the first things I always see presented is multi-line-editing, a feature that could, maybe, come in handy once or twice a month for me. Comparing that to the simple fact that vim matured for over 30 years, and the sheer size of it's ecosystem, and switching to another modal terminal based editor is a really hard sell.

The object-verb syntax is a not a selling point to me, because I can have the exact same "preview" effect by using a vim plugin like easymotion:

d<leader><leader>w

and I can see exactly to where it will delete before any changes happen to the buffer.
Moreover, I wonder how they can even force the manufacturers into making a custom solution for their hubris. Unless the idea of adding such a remote switch seduces Xi and now there's a big enough market for this feature to be developed…
Lactose intolerance is not the only problem with lactose.

Those who do not have lactose intolerance split lactose into glucose and galactose, which are absorbed.

Like fructose, galactose must be converted in the liver. In people where either the conversion is slower or they consume a lot of dairy, galactose may persist for longer times in the body. In such cases there is an increased risk of eye cataract.

I think what you do on a daily basis has a huge impact to how you deal with this. When I was mostly focused on a single issue at a time for long strench of time, I used to be reluctant to call people and didn't really plan things for my personnal life. As my job shifted towards more organisational responsibilities and I had to start both carefully planning how I use my own time and spending a lot more time contacting people to get things done, these things started slowly expanding to the rest of my time by cheer force of habit. What is one more call to the guy who should have trimmed the tree when you have spent the day asking people why they are behind schedule?

I think it goes well with the anxiety explanation. You are obviously less anxious about things which are just business as usual. I guess my take away would be that if you want to start doing something you find hard, it will get easier and easier as you stick with it, which is pretty nice when you think about it.

I used to get quite a lot of anxiety with replying to emails, which was absolute nonsense. I would procrastinate and then it would become this huge monster I needed to deal with because on top of the email now I had to apologize for my tardiness. This problem extrapolated to many parts of my life, and I had to fix it. Now, I always try to read emails, especially ones I am scared of, quickly. As you do it you will have less of a negative connotation with the whole thing. You can even give yourself a snack after or something, but getting started is key.
Yes haha!
I have around 180 orders from Amazon in 2022 in Germany, I've ordered multiple DSLRs/Mirrorless cameras, lenses, all my Gardena stuff, and a ton of more things - never had one single item arrive that showed any signs of use, neither on the package nor on the item itself, and I've never heard anyone else say that they got used items.

It's very weird that you've had so many used items delivered, but it's definitely not a common thing in Germany.

They have not been dissolved because they left their phone at home, they have been dissolved because it was a violent organisation that was systematically attacking the police and destroying property.

And given the sort of stuff they brought to their protests: swords, machettes, baseball bats, jerrycan, bricks, fireworks, petanque balls, Molotov cocktails, fire bombs, etc, it is particularly disingenuous to pretend they have been dissolved for not talking to the police when arrested.

From what I understand, OpenXR is a common interface that needs to be implemented by the headset manufacturer. If Apple doesn't do this, OpenXR apps won't work.

Before OpenXR every headset had its own interface. Valve and descendants have SteamVR, Oculus has its own runtime, Microsoft and descendants have Windows Mixed Reality.

Games/Apps targeting these platforms used to have to implement each one of these interfaces separately if they wanted to support that family of headsets. OpenXR shifts the responsibility onto the headset manufacturer, from my limited understanding.

edit: I don't understand why this is being downvoted? If there is a technical detail I got wrong, I'd welcome an explanation rather than Reddit-esque downvotes.
The Danish word comes from Old Norse dœgn, ultimately a derivation from Proto-Germanic dōgaz ‘daily’. (If one is familiar with comparative Germanic linguistics, the long vowel in the Old Norse form speaks against any borrowing from Latin diurnāta). Meanwhile, Latin diurnāta is a derivation from dies ‘day’, unrelated to the Germanic word.

If you are curious about where words come from, the English-language Wiktionary often has etymologies in its entries for words, and for the Nordic languages they are usually pretty up-to-date in terms of the scholarly state of the art.
I like Vue as much as the next guy, but comparing Nuxt to Next doesn't really do Next justice. Nuxt is pretty much a glorified blog engine, a conceptually broken tech demo. Its performance is abysmal, the developer experience frustrating, and many things that seem convenient when you read the docs turn out to be a hassle in production.

Next is so much more refined compared to that.

SMB protocol is RPC derived iirc yes.

COM is used both to expose in-process APIs that you invoke and also to do RPCs between services, but that's an implementation detail that only sometimes matters. Historically most stuff ran in the kernel (not any more) so there wasn't a big need for inter-process COM. These days there's more microkernel design but the underlying APIs were all 1980s era flat C APIs so indeed COM is of less relevance for remoting them.
This is not entirely true; some packages have been removed from RHEL7 to 8 to 9, because the interpretation of "if we ship it we support it" has become stricter. RHEL9 is as new or sometimes newer than Debian 11 (bullseye).

It is worth remembering that France got its current constitution in a bloodless coup:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_1958_crisis_in_France

It amazes me that the constitution that was put in place then is largely unchanged today, insofar as the French president is still incredibly powerful, parliament is subservient, and the electoral system is deeply majoritarian.

I don't know exactly what it says about a society that it keeps a constitution that was imposed this way, but it isn't anything good. The frank craziness in this article (F-Droid, lol) is in keeping with that.

OOP was never "centered around deep class inheritance hierarchies". It was centred around message passing and dynamic method dispatch. The only significance of inheritance is to resolve the receiver of a message.

I feel strongly that most of the people who think OOP was bad are people who have only ever experienced C++/C#/Java or some even weaker instantiation of OOP.

What do you suppose you're writing when you implement a (micro)service? It's nothing different than an object -- some implementation whose details you don't need to care about when you use it, which details can be changed at any time without disturbing clients (modulo idiocy), and an interface that you use to communicate with it via messages.

And don't even get me started on the OO vs. Functional nonsense...

It's complicated but from centuries of history I guess. An interesting argument why the area around the Med developed before Africa is it was easy to get around by boat and spread ideas and culture - you can sail quite easily between Egypt, Israel, Italy and Greece. On the other hand sub Saharan Africa was hard - you mostly had to walk. Now of course travel and communication is easy with modern tech which I suspect will level things up.
