Dutch and German, met in Belgium, converse in exclusively English. I was also very much missing the tri+lingual option!

The site clearly has comparison data between all languages if you scroll down on the homepage. Feels similar to the results page between two languages, where it'll say "I've got 1234 names for Dutch and 2345 names for German" in a nice venn diagram, but then omits the most interesting information of how many names it found shared between the two! (The answer, btw, was 402. You can copy and paste them to an editor with line numbers.)
The issue with i.e. phrenology is that there's no association between skull shapes and behavior, as far as anyone can tell. There do seem to be a bunch of correlations relating to gender and behavior (although why exactly those correlations exist is certainly actively debated).

How do you figure it's unscientific?
Any ship using sonar to map the floor would not be able to do so in secret. The only hope it would have would be to take advantage of just how vast the ocean is. However, sound carries a long long long way, and it would be very difficult to have a ship doing this in secret. Any opfor ship could just tail behind the ship and passively listen to the same signal and generate their maps in secret.
Notice how the titles get more literal.
I hope this happens in the US as well, Google has become a terrible partner for Android developers.

This past week Google announced (1) that in order to release an app on Play:

"developers with newly created personal Play Console accounts will soon be required to test their apps with at least 20 people for a minimum of two weeks before applying for access to production."

This will be gamed (test farms), and the policy will not achieve any goal but making life difficult for small / indie developers.

> macOS has had the ability to search menus for what seems like a decade.

Wow, TIL. Talk about a hidden feature.

So it turns out it's under the "Help" menu, and it just says "Search". I had always assumed that this searched help topics, not menus.

But it's also pretty miminal, seemingly without support for synonyms or features inside of dialog boxes -- e.g. if you type "pref" it won't find "Settings". It also doesn't have a keyboard shortcut to trigger it (like Docs).

So I think there's still a long way to go to make it a central UX feature.

>As a former smoker, I can only believe that anyone who takes this risk does not fully appreciate the consequences.

That's the key thing there, "smoker". If you become addicted to nicotine via smoking tobacco, then you're possibly fucked, but nicotine by itself is nowhere near as dangerous for health, it even has some benefits for well-being.

I don't know why you take exception to some people or articles emphasizing the above, or that cigarettes are the major risk. It's mostly true and addiction by itself specifically to a cheap, easily available substance like nicotine, which doesn't devastate daily functionality or economic solvency as many other narcotics do, is not terrible by itself.
Yeah, that's what I mean, e.g. it's mostly existing published stuff. The new stuff is some partial summarisation in Eastern Huasteca Nahuatl, and some spoken audio (by EHN speakers), although, it's unclear what the audio gains. Without training, it's not really intelligible to most speakers of modern varieties.

The author’s thesis is to give every family (not person) $750 a month, and that eliminates all benefits including Medicaid. This isn’t a serious proposal, it’s Paul Ryan-style dismantling the social safety net rebranded as UBI. Just more Welfare For Me, Nothing For Thee so-called “fiscal conservativism”, the likes of which brought us budget-busting tax cuts for the wealthy, and austerity for the rest of us.
I think many of these debates about microserivces don’t take into account the number of responsibilities the system must offer. For simple systems of course micro services is too much. The number of books around microservices vs monolith can be seen as a function of the popularity of one approach vs the other.
Or maybe much of it became included in some form of life first
I just don't think most people, myself included (even though I don't work for such a company) share these values. It's not that we don't know, it's just that we don't care. It's a tradeoff we're willing to make. So Google tracks everything and shows ads. So what? It's not really the big deal that privacy warriors make it out to be.

My biggest worry about Google is just that they've stopped innovating and are in rapid decline, enshittifying everything while also facing regulatory actions. It might not be around in its current form much longer. That scares me only because it's a huge PITA to have to move everything off of Gmail and GDrive and Android and Chrome and have to find replacements for every minor service they offer. Ugh. The privacy angle just gets a big shrug, as it does for millions of other users.

For every person I know who goes out of their way to de-googify their life (there's a couple), dozens of others just don't care at all. It's not what we spend brain time on.

Guess what, every company we interact with on a daily basis is out to exploit us and doesn't have our best interests at heart. The car companies and fossil fuel companies are actively killing us, the food growers use dangerous chemicals, Target and Costco sell us mass produced crap... shrug. It's not just surveillance capitalism, it's everyday capitalism.
It does fractionally scale chrome.

It doesn't scale the rest, because those are electron apps that either ship with old electron version, or disable wayland. Special mention goes to vscode, which ignores *-flags.conf and provides no other way to enable wayland, except for command line argument.

So basically it is maintainers of these apps dragging their feet.

No, then they'll never learn that it is received by "adults" as "unnecessarily extra-attention seeking".

Most people who like to share stuff are seeking validation one way or another (myself included).

Only because the current management culture doesn’t understand, encourage or do anything to create them.

Generally it’s very difficult to survive as a good manager in most large enterprises as the culture is toxic. And that culture is because of poor leadership at the top — CEO culture in American companies is divested of human sensitivity and deeply entrenched in exploitative ethos. “You got to do what you got to do.” It’s simply not true and many founder lead companies prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that companies don’t have to be run the way they do. But that’s the collective belief of the Harvard Business reading crowd.

The wage issues, environmental externalities, and people’s failing faith in the economically-driven society that has been so successful for so long reveals a system out of balance.

These are all management and leadership failures, be it inside of corporations or government. Few workers inside of the system glow about their bosses or the effectiveness of their leadership teams. And many that do only do so because of the contrast to terrible leadership they have experienced.

So I agree with you that there is a dearth of good leadership. What can we do about it?

It’s certainly much better than it was 20 years ago.
Makes sense. Although unfortunate for us, I'm happy for him.

It's weird to me how compressed recent history actually is. Unix was 1970, LISP was 1960, the US Civil Rights Act was 1964. The Ottoman Empire was dissolved in the 1920s. At the same time, there's already so much on the Internet. The iPhone was released in 2007.

Not even electron problem; maintainers of these apps problem. Chrome and Electron do support wayland nowadays. Just some app authors don't care.

My friend makes backflow valves in Arizona. They pay $110k+ for backflowvalve technicians, a certification that takes two weeks and $1,000 to get. They will pay for the certification. Technicians set their own schedules and typically work 25 hours a week. He struggles to find candidates who can pass a drug test, and is making do by paying those close to retiring bonuses to keep working.

Meanwhile, down the road, ASU prints communications majors who earn half that [1] at a cost of at least 16x more [2] and 100x longer. I doubt any of them could tell you what a backflow-valve technician does. (Were it not for my friend, I couldn’t either.)

No that is not by my logic, that is something you’re making up, I never brought up any completely different foods. Rice and refined sugar products are not the same. Try again.

Again because you are obviously slow (too much sugar?): sugar (like HFCS) is a refined product, it will have similar glycemic index to HFCS. The enzymatic breakdown of sucrose is fast enough not to matter.
Rice is not, stop muddying the waters with irrelevant bullshit.

There is no evidence that the 5% difference in fructose content between usual HFCS and sucrose is of any consequence for health outcomes.

> It suggested using Elle as a Turkish-compatible English name for girls.

Not for me.

The suggestions are: Cari, Karli, Kismet, Lara, Leila, Leyla, Nadia, Selma, and Yasmin.

The English names it explicitly warns you against, because they're indeed words in Turkish, are: ..., Bina, Dede, Eden, Elle, Elma, Eve, Evin, ...

That these are warnings could be more clear, though. The color scheme is the same as the suggestions. Then again, the heading text is pretty big.
Weirdly enough restaurants don't want reservations. They want long lines.

That way they create a situation where you SEE how popular a place is. A line is much easier to see than a date dropdown that is booked out for 2 months.

It's also easier to keep the restaurant full. A full reservation where not everybody shows up might cause empty tables.

A long line fixes that.
I frequently get emails intended for someone who has my same email handle, but with the extension "@googlemail.com" instead of "@gmail.com".

I know a lot about them. I know their shipping address in the UK. I know that they order inexpensive club attire, online Dominoe's delivery, and have a specific gym membership.

I am shocked that Google offers no way to disentangle my email address from this person's. A more malicious person than I could easily take advantage of all of this personal information.
Because it gets a lot more expensive the deeper you want to go/look.
I'm not expecting too much, as it's going to be hard to monetize something people get the source code to. So I think it's going to be limited to small projects, or sub projects that don't cost a lot to develop.

> There are still many new ways of architecture to be found.

Good architecture tends to break up complexity into common building blocks, and avoiding patterns that might cause instability or failure. Or seeing the cause of the instability and then fixing it. IOW, there's really no need to recreate the wheel....

Over time, as you get good at it, you'll see the exact same patterns over and over again, so rather than need to experiment with new technologies or software architectures, you can just reach into your experience and bring things out you know work already.
There are fundamental genetic differences between men and women, which determine differences in our brain structure, therefore behaviour. The study is not pseudoscience. Social constructivism is an anti-scientific perspective.

Even if the behavioural differences between men and women were purely socially determined, the study would still be scientific, in that it investigates and measures one of those differences.

If you believe there are zero behavioural differences between men and women on average (whether genetic or socially determined) then you are completely lost.
You are confusing marketing induced demand with doomsday induced demand. It’s not really a fact check of what I said

I am not an awesome power user either, mostly basic settings plus dynamic tag management (empty tag are deleted automatically, new tag is created when switching to next tag, number of tag start at 1). The rest is just shortcut remapping and getting a systray with audio and network applets. No application based tag, no custom script to display bitcoin trading or media player widgets.

Basically didn’t he just raise money with promises of features, then go to the underlying libs authors with a “you should do all these features for free, so I can argue why all the money I got for them was with it” while doing shit-all himself?

So, basically he’s rounding off his attempt at fundraising on trying to get someone else to do the actual work for free with a “I’m sorry, but I’m keeping the money and not delivering anything”?

You mean literally all the actual work to make the product do anything useful…

No one took issue with requests, just being a thin usability interface on top of other peoples work, because it was free and open source and didn’t raise funds to provide the claimed functionality. But the second you start raising funds and don’t want to spend a single dollar on the people who do all of the real work, your a pos, and deserve all the criticism. The second you take the money but bail on the project because others won’t do the work for free for you, you become a con-man.

Given that Twitter is the target of a lot of manipulation attempts, some of which come from intelligence agencies, having a .onion service seems like an actively bad thing. This seems like the sort of thing that a spy who snuck through the hiring process would build. Leaving it unmaintained seems worse than taking it down (especially since that implies a lack of monitoring that would invite abuse), but it definitely ought to go down.
What about useless degrees that have zero ROI?
That's all fine, but from the moment Maxwell's eq's are invoked, we enter an empirical framing, not a first principles one. (as Maxwell's results follow from observations of the behavior of charged phenomena, current, magnets, & electromagnets). The paper & video seek to postulate the existence of a universal speed limit from first principles. They do so, and without changing the framing from a first principles one to an empirical one, associate their notational 'c' with the observed (i.e. empirical) speed of light. I find this element of their rhetorical strategy at odds with their intentions.
It's pseudonymization regardless of the replacement data format. It can be a token, a format-consistent value, e.g. "john.smith@example.com", redacted, etc. All of that is considered pseudonymous.

Pseudonymized data is not completely anonymous. For example, your name, address, date of birth, and other identifiable information are likely available in public datasets like property tax records or voter registration data. There are also mostly-legal datasets available for purchase with more complete demographic and personal information. If your birthday, gender, and zipcode are present in the pseudonymized dataset, I have an ~87% chance succeeding in a linkage attack matching you in of those public datasets.
