Latin is dramatically efficient in expressing meaning because it has a grammar that is several times more complex than english. On the other hand, most of latin grammar can be thought as adding prefixes and suffixes to root words.
Nah. No speed limits is great, as long as everyone behaves by the rules.

Stay the hell out of the left lane, unless you’re passing. If you’re in the left lane and someone is in your rear-view, you move right. Otherwise, drive as fast as you feel like you can safely go, without having to worry about being pulled over and cited for doing something perfectly safe.

Driving on the Autobahn in Germany was one of the more liberating experiences of my life. I was genuinely sad when I got to the Netherlands and had to worry about keeping my speed below 130 when passing.
Ideal would be speed limit based on the road. I drove some "roads" in Ireland, where speed limit is 80km/h but driving faster than 40km/h is daredevil behavior. And don't mention the fact that some roads are not large enough for crossing another vehicule, but it can happen (and sometime the locals drive at 80... A lot of surprise braking !)

But it's obviously more difficult to implement, and more difficult for the speed camera management.

Yet, it would be better and certainly safer than the "one speed for those type of road fit all"

(to be honest, this proposal is more advanced than other countries where you hav three or four types of speed limit, and that's all)
I mean add and multiply pretty much work as expected (and I would say except for overlay, color, saturation and lumiosity they are the only ones you will ever need).
Me too. There has to be a hard limit. It might as well be the posted limit.

Encouraging everyone to break the law just means selective enforcement is a bigger problem. If safety depends on cars moving the same speed, then everyone else should slow down to the speed limit to match my speed.

I really don't get this brinksmanship stuff. "Oh it's just 5 MPH, it's just 10 MPH." A limit was posted. The negotiation process doesn't happen _after_ the sign is put up. It's very simple.

All that said, I don't like ALPRs. They're so bad for privacy. I just know that they'll be connected to the Internet and used to track people wherever they drive, many of them already are.
I'm really sad at how much Latin I've managed to lose since my school days. It's really an incredible language and this stack exchange post shows some of that versatility.

Because the words in Latin contain dense grammatical information in their spelling, you can be much more flexible with word order.

This gives classical poets the ability to do crazy things with word ordering to create "word pictures" where the structuring ordering of the words conveys some additional meaning. This can be done in English too, but classical Latin is almost made for it.

For example, Catulus 85:

"Ōdī et amō. Quārē id faciam fortasse requīris.

Nesciŏ, sed fierī sentiō et excrucior."

The translation Wikipedia gives is:
"I hate and I love. Why I do this, perhaps you ask.

I know not, but I feel it happening and I am tortured."

But there is so much brilliance in the structure of the poem that translation cannot really encapsulate. The last word "excrucior" (I am crucified) references a relationship between the structure of the first and second line. Each verb on the first line has a "mate" on the second. For example: odi (I hate)<->excrucior (I am tortured), requires (you ask) <-> nescio (I know). If you draw lines connecting these mates to each other, they form a number of crosses - referencing the "crux" in "excrucior". The poem literally depicts the torture instrument that is Catulus' love.

Even more remarkably, this poem follows a strict metrical standard dictating the order of long and short syllables: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elegiac_couplet and it achieves this meter in part due to the use of elision in the opening of the poem, where two vowel sounds get merged due to the ordering of words. "Odi et Amo" is read as "Odet Amo" as the the love and hate crush together and evoke that sense of pressure and torment that underlies the couplet.

Classical Latin had so much capacity for structural complexity that is really remarkable. It's not just that you can say more stuff with less words, but that the allocation of information in the grammar allows for entirely different expressions than you could make if word order dictated meaning.
As in "valid" but false data? Please don't. If you really don't want to indicate rate limiting explicitly, then perhaps return an invalid body, or reset the connection or similar. False positives detecting humans as bots are very common, and even rate limits are often set well within human interaction limits. E.g. more than once I've triggered 429s by opening several e-commerce product pages in new tabs for me to ctrl+tab through and filter down. I also tripped a LinkedIn anti-automation system since I was looking through quite a lot of profiles on my first day to add people - luckily they handled this well, with a clear message explaining what was going on and support reaching out to me proactively (and lifting the restriction after a few hours)
But that bathroom break is going to happen anyways
So basically you are saying that you have seen 130, that it works well, but you still stand by 120. Makes no sense.

Where I live the upper limit is 120. If you drive at 120 people won't stop overtaking you. It's done this way because they have those mobile car radars to give people tickets when they need money.
The speed limit being 70 in the us is a bad joke. A relic from the gas shortage we had once that must have proven lucrative. Our roads are long wide and straight, it shouldn't be so low. (though Texas has some 85mph sections)
'Schwarze Kunst' can also be used as synonym for magic and all kinds occult stuff. Maybe because printing was something people didn't really understand back then.
Instead of accounting tricks they actually only move goods when they need them. The accounting trick people (GE) are now trying to study Toyota. It's so cute.
Swiss don't break rules because there are speed cameras everywhere and fines are huge. But as soon they are outside of Switzerland, they will be the first to drove like hell is coming. Also, if you don't react to green light in a microsecond, or drive less than 10 km/h under the limit, they will start to honk.
Rules and their enforcement are perfectly fine and I'm really happy about that, but it doesn't make drivers better
I mean technically I would translate "nimium valedīxit" into "elle faisait trop d'adieux", which is also 6 syllables (with the advantage to keep the she). If you want to keep before, which is skipped in this latin transaction, then it would be 2 extra syllables.
So it seems this is why "classical Latin" died out and "vulgar Latin" became the romance languages of today

Because while "classical Latin" was capable of doing those antics, it was limited for day to day use. Phrasal and noun endings were complicated and wouldn't play well with day to day usage
There was one famous free VPN service that worked like this. You install the addon, get a free VPN for a certain amount of traffic, and while your browser is open other people will be able to browse from your IP (and access your home network, of course!)

Making the browser deal with PoW challenges is only a small price to pay for what is practically a free VPN. It works great, until your entire home IP starts getting CAPTCHAs all the time, and because users don't know any better, they start blaming that darn Google/Cloudflare/Microsoft for claiming they're a bot.

> single syllable in some languages but requires a lot of context or explanation in other languages

then don't these other langs do a 'bad job' at compression ?

> That doesn't seem feasible

In general maybe not. But for some restricted 'assembly' ?

"The cat is on the table" has no ambiguity. And in some langs like Polish it compresses better : "Kot jest na stole" (Cat is on table), same info, better syllable-wise compression (5 vs 7).
Some german politicians have an interesting "logic".
There are highways with speed limits because of they high accident count, after the speed limit the count dropped, therefore the speed limit isn't necessary anymore.
If you cheat a little, you can get to similarly low numbers in German:

"Zuviele Abschiede von ihr" - 8

"Ihre zuvielen Abschiede" - 8

"[Sie] verabschiedete sich zu oft" - 8-9

If you accept "trennen" ("separate") for "saying goodbye", you can do

"[Sie] trennte sich zu oft" - 5-6

If you accept "[weg]gehen" (go [away]) for "saying goodbye", you can also do
"[Sie] ging zu oft [weg]" - 3-5

The "Sie" (she) is optional, but leaving it out sounds hurried and informal.

The literal translation also isn't very idiomatic imho, I'd rather expect to hear one of the latter ones if it was really about separations and going away, the former phrasing suggests more something of literally saying too many greetings.
Right, a friend told me about this many years before. She worked on the networking infrastructure and knew what it was being used for. I didn't think much of it at the time and I thought it was common knowledge. When the Snowden "revelations" came out it, I was surprised that this was considered news. I understand that perhaps there wasn't an official website laying the whole thing out, but at a minimum it took a lot of people to set up and run and I really don't think it was ever terribly secret to begin with.
If it suits your setup, I find that offloading stateful services to managed cloud providers, then running the stateless stuff in k8s is a nice combo.

It's not k8s or anything else that makes it hard/easy. Maintaining and keeping stateful services running the long run is what's a bit tricky.
You're likely not wrong, but also the fact that Windows tells you you're running out of storage going as far back as XP if not further back. I wont be surprised if Mac and Linux do the same. My guess is, they kept ignoring it until it became impossible to ignore. I wonder if years passed until it was unavoidable.

"she farewelled excessively"
Because iMessage is a big reason people do not switch from iPhone to an Android phone in the US, so if Apple gets more market share in Europe and everyone start using iMessage, it would be reasonable to think this would start affecting competition as people become "locked in" due to the messaging of one over another platform.

But, like I said, it's not a big of a deal in Europe where most people use whatsapp or facebook messenger over native messaging. At least that's what Apple has claimed. Probably because iMessage is not fully functional on android and so people just can't communicate with others effectively.

But in the USA, everyone has iPhones, so everyone uses iMessage. The same messaging platforms exist in the USA as in Europe; but it doesn't matter, it's all about where your friends/family are. If everyone is on iMessage then you gotta be on iMessage and if the only way of getting iMessage (effectively) is having an iPhone then you just have to have an iPhone.

This is now entering personal experience territory but I know plenty of Americans who have android phones and are thinking of getting an iPhone because of iMessage, particularly now that the iPhones are going to come with usb-c (thanks, Europe). On the other hand, I know people who have iPhones and want to switch to android but are held back due to everyone they know using iMessage.

I mean, it's possible to survive without it, sure. But it's a significant boulder on the road of migration. So that's why I think it should be open up.

> "She said goodbye too many times before" I don't think makes sense if you're extremely literal about it, since I can't see what "before" would track to without the embedded past.

It would grammatically work if you interpreted 'said' as a habitual action.

"Before [the etiquette training], she said 'goodbye' too many times. [Now, she says it just once.]"

In the context of the song, I think the habitual interpretation makes sense; the lyrics speak of trying to break the pattern of a dysfunctional relationship. This also works in that "said goodbye" has figurative intent (meaning 'left the relationship') over its literal meaning of verbally expressing one's departure.

It already is, the huge screenshot and the verbiage used ("the open source Postman alternative with type safety") makes it pretty clear what it's about for people who might be interested.

I don't believe everything needs to be understandable by everyone. You don't need to "sell" specialized tooling to people who don't know what it's for.
There is surely multiple alternatives for any given language, similar to Draconis compressing the latin form, in french instead of the literal:

11 - Elle a dit au revoir trop souvent avant

You could replace:
* "dire au revoir" by "saluer" (which used both for greeting and farewell so you get a bit of data information lost)
* "trop souvent" which uses the "trop" adverbe when there is a word for it: "excessivement"

Which got me:

11 - Elle salua excessivement avant

Still as many syllable (4) but less words (from 8 to 4) which might be easier to read.
How to Monitor SSL Certificates?
In the digital age, security is paramount, especially when it comes to online transactions and data exchange. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates play a crucial role in ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information transmitted over the internet. However, SSL certificates are not set-and-forget components; they require vigilant monitoring to prevent potential security breaches. In this guide, we'll delve into the importance of SSL certificate monitoring, the risks of neglecting it, and provide you with practical steps to effectively monitor SSL certificates to maintain a secure online environment.
SSL certificates are digital passports that authenticate the identity of a website and encrypt data exchanged between a user's browser and the server.
And, at least in the US, the government can and does freely purchase from third parties information that they aren't able to compell disclosure of, so companies accumulating tons of information about everyone is very much a part of the government surveillance apparatus. Without that (and with some better protection of data that actually does need to be collected), national intelligence agencies would probably still coerce access to information they're not meant to have, but at least local police departments wouldn't be able to just buy it from data brokers.
> Just not as bad an issue in Europe I guess.

The iMessage dominance is a uniquely American issue.
In the most of the world people don't use it. Instead, multiplatform apps are the norm. It's not realistic to expect that most of the people around you will have an iPhone to use iMessage because iPhones are just too expensive to justify the purchase when you can get away with a much cheaper android device.

However, FaceTime is often used when possible.

By my reading, the AGPL doesn't define "distribution" at all. It defines "conveying":

To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying

This definition specifically excludes networked API access.

Here's what the AGPL says about network access:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.

It only applies if you "modify" the program. Does creating a proxy service count as modifying the original program? I think it could count as a derived work, but I would be very surprised if that counts as a modification.

I like the design of this site! The icons and typography are especially cool! There is a neat idea in here. I already use an RSS social reader (https://monocle.p3k.io/), but I can see this being a cool firehose to skim that I can curate. Do you offer RSS feeds of feeds on the site?

I would love if there was a "simple mode" that let you only see the titles, just like the HN homepage. There is a lot of information on the feed pages and I find it a bit overwhelming.

Also, it would be great if I didn't need an account to see the blogs, curators, and popular pages.
The union/syndicate idea is interesting, but as with unions, reprisals are possible since there is little to no anonymity on social media, and no legal protection.

Go makes syscalls directly, it doesn't call through the system libc. This does cause support problems on at least NetBSD, don't know what happens on FreeBSD or OpenBSD.

The NetBSD backwards compatibility mechanism is to not change the arguments to an existing syscall, if there is a need to change something then a new syscall will be created and aliased to the old name in the system include files. Old binaries use the old syscall, those compiled after the new one has been added will use that. Languages that don't parse the system .h files like Go need conditional code for NetBSD.

What I'm saying is that the natural speed is around 120km/h, even on the far nicer roads in Germany and France. If the limits there are higher, and the bulk of drivers still aren't driving faster, then maybe 120 is just fine for what we have here.
While some languages “compress” information into less syllables, sometimes redundancy can be a feature. For example I feel like languages like spanish have longer words, but since the intonation doesn’t vary too much, fluent speakers can speak way faster, or to put it more accurately, fast speech is more prevalent.

Similar thing I’ve noticed with the south indian language - Malayalam, just try to pronounce the name of the city - Thiruvananthapuram, local speakers would pronounce it with roughly the same speed as “London”, and would enunciate every syllable - its crazy.
