In Scotland it's called "Sticky Willie" which is nowhere near as rude as it sounds.

Its primary function in the ecosystem is providing long thin sticky plants for children or childlike adults to stick to each other's clothing without the victim noticing, and seeing how long it takes them to figure it out.

I think apart from increased desire to be perceived as realistic today, in old times there was a stronger need to articulate speech clearly, because of constraints in recording and playing audio.

Then conversely, today it seems that filmmmakers often assume their series or movies are consumed on headphones or loud TVs

I got this too. Another thing I notice is how common it is to block pavements with whatever - vehicles, bins, general street furniture, whatever.

Normally when I suggest a driver doesn't park on a pavement I get a grumpy dismissal, though I once suggested it to a DHL driver who immediately got my point and moved. That was refreshing.
The reality is --- you can never really turn back the clock.

Al Franken was sworn in July, 2009. Ted Kennedy died in August 2009. That narrow window intersecting with the August recess was the first leg of the super majority and then again from the end of September to January 2010 with Ted Kenney’s temp replacement.

The Democrats did mess up by not taking that 3-4 month window more seriously, but they thought they had Massachusetts in the bag.
I spent a fair amount of time during the film playing 'Spot Jack Quaid' in anticipation of Feynman being called out at some point. He is spotted early during the montage when Oppenheimer goes recruiting, and then during various scenes in the background, twice playing bongos (!), but only once is he called by name- Teller calls his name right before the Trinity test for not having goggles or a welding glass to look through, and he notes he is in a truck with a thick windshield that blocks the UV. I smiled so much when that little tidbit happens, as it is a story he prominently tells in his book 'Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman...'

He gives an incredible account of his time there in the lecture (and almost stand-up-comedy act) 'Los Alamos from Below' -

This might be related to Apple, normally Apple is very good for accessibility, but even the BBC has challenges with subtitles on AppleTV, same with the Dutch NPO TV:

“Why are there no subtitles on BBC iPlayer via Apple TV?

There are technical challenges associated with delivering subtitles to Apple TV which will require a significantly different solution to that which we use on all other platforms. We are working towards it but don't currently have timelines associated with this support.”

Why do you think you feel the need for every waking moment to be productive?
The whole online identity thing was a solved problem well before that. You sign up for a service, you give them your email address and create a password, now they know who you are because you have your password, and if you forget your password they send a reset code to your email. Add 2FA as you like.

That allows you to authenticate with the service you're doing business with, which is all that ever needs to happen because centralized identity systems are just an attack for correlating your activity across services and devices.

I am trying to be charitable to the Java implementation, but I am struggling to understand the complexity there. Java can iterate over files, it can iterate over strings, the rules to permissively identify phone numbers are not great, but both implementations would suffer from that complexity. Unless it was full-on FactoryFactoryPPIExtractor<PhoneNumber> style coding.
1. The referendum wasn't actually democratic.

2. The obligations that people read into the referendum (incorrectly, but whatever) have been discharged: Brexit happened. That is the past.

3. Democracy is not "One man, one vote, one time". New majorities mean new democratic mandates. Time moves on.

4. And these majorities are much, much larger than ~ 52:48 majority for Brexit. A split that, had it gone for remain, Nigel Farage said would have meant "unfinished business".
To be fair, they're a business paper and from an economic perspective Brexit made absolutely no sense, so it's not that surprising.

There were (are?) tons of them on GitHub. But many are still obscure, or are single dev efforts that fizzled out.

Some focused, purpose built CLI frontends (like Av1an, specifically for transcoding) are excellent at what they do. Perhaps that is the better way than an all encompassing wrapper.
It's another case of "it is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism". I for one can absolutely imagine having a "purpose" without a "job".

Here are a few examples of activities that might give people a sense of purpose: art, traveling and exploring the world, lifelong learning, educating kids/adults about something you love, political activism, socializing in general, scientific inquiry, connecting with and helping animals, catching up on old literature/films/video games. And this is just me brainstorming for 2 minutes.
This is a very interesting observation, thank you.

I find degrowth arguments that call on governmental power to limit demand worrying. Application of force there is artificial and goes against what people naturally do. It's particularly distasteful to people who value life with limited government intrusion - and this is a very large cohort, so taking this avenue is going to have a lot of friction.

A future where these problems are solved by voluntary adoption of superior technology is so much brighter!

Already happened. From the fine article:

"Young voters are the most pro-EU of the lot, with 79 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds wanting to rejoin"

Well .DS_Stores are just used by Finder - but do show the limitations of Unix Filesystems. Where should the data they hold be stored?

The macOS API is really Foundation - a layer above POSIX - if you use that then the filesystem is not that bad. It gives another solution to meta data like .DS_Store which is bundles. Bundles are an object in the Foundation API which you manipulate as one - on the filesystem they are a directory. Think of a bundle as a zipfile that you can look at using POSIX tools.

The files being in odd places is for similar reasons to XDG"s attempt at cleaning up Unix. I think that the MacOS/NeXT structure predates XDG.

>> Let's first figure out what it means to work with whitespace properly

What does it mean to work with whitespace properly?

When commands are entered at the command line and a shell is parsing, how do you distinguish between whitespace between commands, command parameters and switches, filenames that include whitespace characters, paths that include whitespace characters, etc. ?

It is a difficult question that does not have good answers.
I imagine a similar scheme can be used for general inference if you have a way to cluster components of your model in a similar fashion even if the parameters are not spatial. Perhaps your model has some kind of natural tree structure.

Ultimately, the money for these projects comes from the government. Major works projects which have revolutionized how we live never begin as private enterprise; those are relegated to products and services with incremental contributions to our advancements.

The USA needs State-based Socialism and not this consumeristic crony capitalism that is killing our humanity in every respect. Global socialism is just other countries stealing from each other and calling it equity. Strong nations are the basis for production and when incentives don't exist to engage people in those nations because of international influence, money, and elitism the outcome is stagnation and degradation of the system.

Real estate speculation has gone absolutely wild over the last sixty years as the Federal Government, the Federal Reserve, and its agents, sit on hundred of millions of acres of livable land, and hundreds of thousands of homes, as a means of maintaining investor value. Which is a complete affront to social government and the purpose of this nation - the ability to choose how we live.

None of us choose this save for the inheritors of massive capital who are generally "citizens of the world" because they are liquid enough to owe no loyalties. This has to end.

Can you clarify a bit more about who did this learning? This statement is profoundly at odds with what I understand as an archaeologist.

The quotes from judge's paradigms are clearly selected to generate outrage. I disagree that her intention was reflection, I think her intention was to get readers for slow boring.

I will no longer evaluate and thus never vote for rightest capitalist-imperialist positions/arguments... Examples of arguments of this nature are as follows: fascism good, capitalism good, imperialist war good, neoliberalism good, defenses of US or otherwise bourgeois nationalism, Zionism or normalizing Israel, colonialism good, US white fascist policing good, etc.”

This is not at all a typical judge paradigm, she had to search quite hard to find that (she also is wrong about where she got it from, this is not a 2023 ToC paradigm).
As someone hailing from a popular outsourcing destination, the lower the costs of living in a location, the higher IT salaries are in comparison to the median.

These used to be hard to come across - they were on the internet on, I think it was 'Google Videos' back in the day, and then disappeared, only to resurface on Youtube at some point a little over a decade ago. When they resurfaced I immediately ripped them and saved them, just because of how incredible of a show they are. It's all info I could rehash from memory at this point but I still go back and watch these sometimes just to witness the spectacle of Feynman lecture.

A lot of this is undone by unofficially allowing parking in crosswalks and other routine "transgressions". The cutouts don't matter when there's a car over it. So many groups are affected by this other than wheelchair users too: parents with strollers, elderly or disabled with walkers or who simply can't lift their foot high enough to step onto a curb, young children on balance bikes or skates.

The enforcement mechanism of ADA being, literally, "sue us" is an absolutely massive barrier that makes its practical efficacy a fraction of what you'd think it is based on reading the rules.
A Scandinavian politician one said, no matter what UK representatives achieved they would go back home to Sunday Mail news headlines about how they had failed, sold UK short and so one.

I work at a company that does a lot of code generation, and it gets uglier the longer you do it. It's much harder to write the code that generates the code you want than to just write the damn code in the first place. The abstractions & assumptions made for your code generator will eventually begin to break down, and when that finally happens everything goes from a simple refactoring to way overly complicated update to the generator.
