I definitely agree that historical discrimination against European immigrants to the US is bad and shouldn't have happened.

However, what happened to Africans brought to the US and held in chattel slavery seems much worse, as does everything that happened to the Native Americans.

>Why do people always place so much emphasis on college when it’s clear that the entire system before that point is failing kids?

Because the hot topic this past decade or 2 has been about the college bubble. And we conflate college with university. I think Community college is cheap enough that no one is worried about paying off debts for 20 years in CC, but there is certainly that problem with university. With almost zero alternatives.

And to be frank, it (university costs) is an easier problem to solve. there are (apparently) 1600 accredited universities. I'm not sure about free, but if we can price control tuition (and all those other "extra fees". I know your loopholes) for even 100 of those universities, that would create opportunity where none may exist now. elementary/secondary education... we're talking 10's of thousands of schools to take into account. And as is any policy would probably benefit schools that need that support less.
The idea of a shadow library is to disseminate knowledge to everyone, to provide easy access to readily available content which is made inaccessible through paywalls, copyright, or other similar barriers.

At inception, these databases were created to make academic content freely available which generally does not compensate the original publishers. But now it has been expanded to support the knowledge for free movement.

The legal status is questionable as creators can provide their own content to such libraries but their publishers might not agree to it.

I think the poster is hinting at skill level, where "offshore" is low skill in a cheap location, and "hiring internationally" means high skill in any location (or provide visa to move to high cost location).

One thing that I have found with "offshore" hiring: The very best have _mostly_ migrated to high cost locations because they get a huge salary increase (far more than cost of living increase). There are _some_ exceptions where the candidate is very high skill, but needs to live in a developing country. Usually family or cultural reasons. However, they are very hard to find and harder to keep.
What you're describing is serfdom, and it was in some aspects similar to slavery, but still distinct. Serfs could not be sold to another landlord, they had obligations towards the landlord, but were not a simple commodity.

Serfdom was also widely present in Europe, not unique to Slavic countries at all.

What we need are programs compiled down to some minimal instruction sets, simplifying the implementation of custom vm able to run such software.

The source does not mean anything if there is no working compiler, or if the compiler doesn't support your new shiny platform.

It is the same for servers. Having the source for a whole hosting service depending on some specific hardware doesn't matter.

If we decide to truly care about software legacy, we need to re-think the stack.

Holy Moly is this guy angry about racial preferences for anything. He started his concurrence with a history of slavery and proceeds through an excruciatingly detailed legal history of how we got rid of it. If he were here in the thread, he'd probably say "you are bound by your own predilections, as afforded to you by the Constitution, but if those predilections manifest harm in your result, you will find no quarter with me."

While I completely agree with everything you’ve said, I guess I spent too much time with Ansible and learned to love it. It’s still love/hate relationship but I know it very well and just accept the bad design as a given. One thing I learned the hard way - sometimes if you have to deal with complex data structures and data manipulation in Ansible it’s better to decouple the logic into a plug-in or a filter, even if it’s possible in theory to get done by Ansible.
Also when you know how to efficiently use it, all the inventory tricks, the proper directory and file structure - you can build runbooks that are as close to being elegant as possible with this kind of software.

When I lived in Japan, Akihabara was a regular destination, as I had friends who worked in the SoftBank Shop and often enjoyed waiting for them to start their break by wandering around the surrounding alleys, looking at the stuff.

I would love to have a time machine and go back to early 80's, "Nintendo Game and Watch" Akihabara. I somehow feel like the bandwidth has just gotten too overwhelming, it felt like I was going to snow crash with every step past the flyer girls ..

But Tokyo is full of other great things to see and do as well. I've had some amazing times in the second hand synthesizer shops of Shinjuku and Shibura, and escaped moral wounding in Gas Panic, Roppongi too many times to count.

Akihabara is a curiosity, but Ginza and Daiba-park and Koenji are all neighborhoods with exciting things to explore too. Nerds looking for satisfaction in Akihabara are going to find it in the nondescript places too ..
>Maybe I'm an outlier because I play tons of games that are 10+ years old, but...

To be fair, everyone is playing 10+ years old games. GTA, Skyrim, Fallout, etc. The next versions haven't been released and are still all years away.

> Hugely excited for Starfield though

I pre-ordered it which is huge for me since normally I just wait years until the price drops. I just picked up Cyberpunk at the weekend which should show how long I am willing to wait before getting a AAA game.
This [1] and [2] are a pretty good primer on how Kläranlagen are built in Germany where we use a biological water treatment process and are recycling 96% of sewage water.

The remaining ~4% (the Schlacke) usually are used as fertilizers for farming or are burned in biogas energy plants. The latter happens when the quality is not good enough or the sewege plant doesn't have a stage 4 filtration system.

The German wikipedia entry is actually also pretty good [4]

The wax is on the lane, only way you’d get it on your shoes is if you walk on the lane which you don’t.

The pattern thing is a bit more complicated, veritasium has a video on it (and on bowling balls).

Wax was introduced to protect the lanes, however players fairly quickly learned to use the wax, as it allows hooking more easily and severely, which makes hitting the right location at the right angle much easier. Bowling alleys will then use different patterns for different purposes e.g. a local alley will use a more forgiving pattern, while pro alleys will use a “sport pattern” from a variety of standard patterns (or possibly in-house) to tune the difficulty and for more interesting shots.

House patterns are actually a lot simpler than pro patterns, usually it’s a simple sideways gradient (more in the center, less on the sides) going straight down to halfway to 2/3rds the lane. Aside from player satisfaction (it punishes mistakes less), a factor of them was simply saving oil.

This is not new, complex patterns were first experimented with by the PBA in the 90s (spraying lanes by hand) to make shots harder, as the balls had advanced too much. Though it only became an official feature in the 2000s as machines became capable enough to print specific patterns, reliably.

This means reading wax patterns has become an important skill of pro bowl.

In essence it’s the opposite of what you think, sport lanes and events use patterns specifically designed to be more difficult on purpose.
I remember having to deal with the early GFW about 20 years ago when I was working for a company that had some employees on a site in Shanghai.

Every morning, our colleagues in China would open their mail client and it would connect to our server abroad.

The first person would usually be OK, but for everyone else, the connection would fail.

At the time, almost nothing was known of the GFW and it wasn't as clever as it is now. I found out that the POP connection was quickly blocked after a few minutes, probably triggering some slow firewall rules along the way (it seemed a bit random, so I assumed the firewall setup wasn't unified).

Moving to POPS/SMTPS seemed to improve things for a while, but the connection would still be randomly blocked.

What worked in the end was to use a bunch of random ports instead of the well known ones to accept POP/SMTP connections on the server, and we never had any issues after that, at least until we changed system a couple of years later.

> The NEO is equivalent to the MAX

In what way? That they both have new engines?

I'm pretty sure the similarities stop there. The A320, due to higher wing position, did not require massive overhauls to get the NEO functioning - so the NEO offers overwhelming airframe similarity and flight characteristics.

The MAX, on the other hand, put the engines in a new position, introduced an all new fly-by-wire system to prevent the obviously necessary reclassification of the aircraft, and then cut corners on safety despite the huge amount of re-engineering they had to do.

The NEO has also been out longer, and has never had a fatal crash event...

Airbus makes safer planes, I can't believe people are misinterpreting statistics this hard. "If you simply include Airbus stats from the decade before 737 NG, ignore their NEO and decide it's equivalent to the MAX despite being on the absolute opposite ends of the safety scales, and then argue it's reasonable to compare the two drastically different data sets you've constructed with unjustifiable exclusions, Boeing has better fatal crash statistics!"

Pathetic.
When clang came about, GCC was already renamed into GNU Compiler Collection.
I think there must have been some kind of nuance beyond that, at some point. The number of people claiming that they couldn't view twitter links — and I'm sure this started pre-Elon — suggests to me that, like someone else has mentioned, there might have been different behaviour for 'anonymous' vs. 'not-logged-in' viewers.
My sense of this (and I might be entirely wrong) is that CSS is a tool that is geared towards the presentation/design layer and that is somewhat removed from what most developers do or want to do or are happy doing.

It lives in this weird in between land where it's not really a programming language but it's complex enough to be hard to use by designers who are not really into programming.

I agree with you that mastering frontend requires a lot of time and practice, especially because it's a constantly moving target with new features, new tools and browsers that are constantly evolving.

I personally like it, I love the flexibility and I love that it's constantly changing and I have new tools I can use. It's also funny how there seems to be always something missing.

Current hotness is building broker companies because all anyone wants to fund is direct sale stuff. It's a tossup whether they have their own satellites or are buying data from someone else. If they're running the satellite constellation themselves then this is more speculative than reality at this moment most likely. The capabilities they seem to be claiming are, funny enough, beyond what the available downlink spectrum can support given current constraints.
No its not, thats the perspective of sedentary person who sees somebody running their 5k every day and is eager to give up before even starting.

Once you grok some trivially simple stuff (macro and micronutrients), few extremely trivial requirements (enough good sleep, stay away from sweet stuff in principle which may be hard in beginning but gets much easier over time, eat to stave off hunger and not to feel full, eat less in the evening), you are at least 90% there which is already enough. You really don't need to study constantly labels, you already know whats good and bad and its an effortless background process in the back of the mind.

It really is trivial and very quick to grok. The hard part for many is discipline, thats a mind game everybody has to fight with themselves and find ways how to manage it without frustrating oneself constantly, and thus give up eventually on whole effort.

People often compensate some deep mental issues, ie anxiety with overeating or eating junk food. Obviously this needs to be tackled first if any long term success can be claimed.

Also, for parents, please don't condition your kids on sweet stuff as some sort of reward. If you have to, use some great fruits like forest fruits and not cakes, ice cream etc. You are not being a good parent at all by doing this, just conditioning them mentally that sweet junk is something special, a prize deserved, which creates pretty bad mental patterns for rest of our lives.

I mean libraries are a thing, but it's a logistics problem. My local library has thousands of Dutch language books, how is an expat or student in the US going to get to them? And that's between two countries with good relationships and transport links - although said transport is prohibitively expensive for the vast majority of people.

Consider another argument: book bannings are a thing in the US again, a facist practice [0]. Making these banned books accessible to all despite the bans is a clear anti-facist statement and move.

They say, some states already banned affirmative action. Universities in those states have tried to still recruit minority students, by going to schools with large group of minority students, and actively recruit there. The problem is, those tend to be schools with poor students. Students who cannot pay their university fee. Universities end up subsidizing those students, which is expensive. With affirmative action, they could more easily attract rich minority students.

I'm still not convinced that 'hiding the source code' was the final end game to this.
Indeed, and even if you do have access to a library, due to logistics / volume, they only represent a fraction of the available knowledge worldwide.

If they offer internet access though, AND if projects like these are still around, the access to information is infinite.
That's also what I'm getting from that, making it proportional to the views make it sure that independent investigation journalists won't get any of it.

From 1986, when I was living in Tokyo and bought my first computer, until 1999, when I moved to Yokohama, I probably visited Akihabara a couple of times a month on average. I would go there mainly to buy computer and audio equipment, but I also enjoyed just wandering around to see what was available.

In those days, and probably still today, Akihabara was constantly changing. The shopkeepers adapted quickly to trends, and smaller shops in particular seemed to appear and disappear at a rapid pace. Every visit I discovered something new. I contrasted that with another neighborhood I frequented—Ginza—which seemed pretty much the same from year to year.

Your collection brings back a lot of memories. Thanks.

When someone wants to sell me apples, I can pay for them or choose not to buy them. That's capitalism.

But if someone hands me apples for free, they really can't force me to study the ads on the wrapping paper, can they? I have never signed anywhere that I agree to this 'deal'. That's not how capitalism works as far as I understand it.

And their terms aren't legally enforceable.

Where I live adblockers are legal. When I access YT with Firefox and uBlock Origin it's legal for me to filter YTs datastream how I want to.

If this was a capitalistic transaction of goods, I would have to login to use their service. I would have to agree to some kind of legally binding contract. I would first have to pay, and could then use their product or service. But all that isn't necessary to watch videos on YT.

There is no legally binding 'deal' between YT and me.
Why would they let that happen? Doesn't seem to make any sense to me if it's how you describe it.
No, it doesn't.

I'm from both Northern Ireland myself. I consider myself to come from both Ireland and the UK myself and carry passports from both the UK and the ROI. I don't understand why you would jump to argue my identity against me.

The Republic of Ireland and the UK are at peace and the portion of Ireland which is administered by the UK is done so with mutual agreement and recognition, with guarantees to the freedom of the people to choose their identity guaranteed by internationally recognised agreements.

You're comparing that to an active warzone. The comparison is really reaching.
A private group is not the same as DMs on a privacy level, though. Two can keep a secret, not more.
