As appalling as Bush’s actual actions toward Iraq were, his pronunciation of Iraq is a pretty common one for his generation of US English speakers. I suspect that if you looked at 20th-century editions of authoritative US English dictionaries or pronunciation guides, the /aɪˈɹæk/ pronunciation would often be listed there.

The “correct pronunciation” of a country’s name in a foreign language, is not necessarily the one that natives of that country use. Languages around the world have altered the pronunciation of a country’s name when borrowing that word.
No, Bercause MakeMake cant know what defines are made by the compiler on the system. MakeMake may not even run on the same system as the resulting makefile will be used on.

This means that all source code files has to be compilable on all platforms, and thats good practice anyways, so thats not a problem for me.

The makemake pragma lets you define platform specific build options.
Either the content is useful to you in which case you should stay subscribed and keep reading, or it isn’t and you should unsubscribe. I really don’t understand this middle ground of “I hate reading this but I must keep receiving it”.
I don't really get that example. Assuming that your using the cloud solution as a backup, you'd still have the original and can restart the backup, either on the same or a different cloud provider.

If your house burns down there's a good chance that you're losing both the original and the backup.

Ideally you have the original, a local backup and a cloud backup. The cloud backup can be updated a few times a day, and the local every few 10 - 15 minutes.
Well it's an important point, but I don't think the author of OP argues you shouldn't do that.

By the way: have a look at restic, it's great (if you don't require a GUI).
Anecdata, but I've never been able to switch to using a computer for note taking because I just get no long-term memory retrieval. Typing notes seem to be like never having learnt the thing. The search doesn't help because I don't even recall what I do or don't have to search through. When I take physical notes, I don't seem to need to look at them again, because I will recall what was written well enough that their purpose isn't as an archive, its for helping me retain something in my actual brain.

Another anecdata point, I have ADHD. It affects memory in all sorts of known and measured ways. I generally find if I can get something into long-term memory then I'm set. Working memory is terrible. Physically writing while working serves as a crutch there too.
I'm not a fan of Windows but Stuxnet didn't happen because of Windows. Iran decided to spin up a nuclear program and Israel and the US had concerns and wanted to stop it. They had the resources to develop something tailored for this unique situation, which included windows, Siemens PLCs (IIRC), Centrifuges etc. and developed the malware based on their target. Even if their target used a different stack, they'd find a way to achieve the same result.
Yes, julia can be called from other languages rather easily, Julia functions can be exposed and called with a C-like ABI [1], and then there's also various dedicated packages for languages like Python[2], R[3], C++[4], Rust[5] and more to call Julia code.

With PackageCompiler.jl [6] you can even make AOT compiled standalone binaries, though these are rather large. They've shrunk a fair amount in recent releases, but they're still a lot of low hanging fruit to make the compiled binaries smaller, and some manual work you can do like removing LLVM and filtering stdlibs when they're not needed.

Work is also happening on a more stable / mature system that acts like StaticCompiler.jl [7] except provided by the base language and people who are more experienced in the compiler (i.e. not a janky prototype)

Developers probably don’t make choices based on the emotional valence of the name of a programming language.

Although, perhaps my decision to learn C# was a reaction to my desire to no longer be myopic…
Practising the workflow itself can be helpful too.

Some years ago, we had an "incident" where one of our developers discovered he had admin access even though he was logged into a different account of his. It was a multi-tenant SaaS.
Since he was supposed to be admin anyway, I wondered where the harm was.

Now, though, I think he was just practising the blameless incident response in case something serious did eventually come up. Once that happens, you don't have time to practise in peace anymore.
I think it's because Go's encoding/json package doesn't support incremental parsing.
I don't think either pandoc or Asciidoc will have the semantic info that Kramdown-man has, which will be converted to the correct roff tags?

Looking for Feedbacks on Productivity Software
Hey everyone,

I've been working on a productivity software concept and would love to get your thoughts. The main features include:

Local Time Tracking: Offers users a breakdown of how they spend their time, with all calculations done locally and no data sent to external servers.
Customizable Notifications: Users receive notifications for their to-dos based on their schedules.
Markdown/Whiteboard Note Storage: The ability to store notes using Markdown or a whiteboard feature.
Browser Extension: A browser extension that allows users to save highlighted text from the browser directly to the app.
Do you think there is a need for such a tool? If not, what features would you consider essential for a productivity software? Your feedback is highly appreciated!
Sorry for late reply.

Jeju's Gimhae airport lists 60k aircraft movements and served 10m passports in 2022. Shanghai's Pudong lists 350K aircraft movements and 30m passengers in 2021. Frankfurt Airport lists 380k aircraft movement and 50m passengers. Most major PRC airports have >300k aircraft movements and move 30-40m people.

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

Look at 2020 stats, that's what's saturating limited air corridors. There's 11 airports that moves over 20m people with over 200k aircraft movements. Which is fraction of HSR's near 2B trips. As more chinese get richer and want to travel internally, HSR is only choice. That's without mentioning New years which is impossible to accommodate with air. HSR moves huge number bodies and saves 100s of millions hours vs slow trains trip.

PRC domestic flight delays is well known for anyone that regularly flies in PRC and can compare to west, like EU/NA. The unspoken reason is US military bases in region means coastal flight corridors that are shared with military aviation which gets higher priority. There's a joke that PRC commercial flight would be smoother once they take over Taiwan, because then military aviation can push out away from coastal regions.
The current payout scheme is advantageous to popular artists and Spotify, the rest gets ridiculous amounts because all money from subscriptions and advertising is eaten by the former.

Of course they could change the scheme to a more fair one (Spotify gets a fixed amount from your subscription and the rest is divided between artists you listened to in a given month) but the problem is the deal wouldn't be so advantageous to big studios. So basically everybody is subsidizing a few big guys who earn a lot.
I remember having to write a presentation about Stuxnet while at Uni, it was insane.

At the time they reckoned the authors had a functioning QA environment to ensure it actually worked (broke) the Siemens PLCs they were targeting.
I think the idea of a "bubble" is less that "bubbles" don't exist in real life or that it's impossible to hear anything outside them and more that the internet makes it particularly easy to find communities offering mutual reinforcement and insisting it's everyone else that's wrong. Even for people who are initially only idly curious about whether anyone else has ever felt that way.

This includes things you might have happily accepted you might have just made a mistake on (but I thought I remembered this documentary about Mandela's assassination...) when your real world social circle pushed back, if only it wasn't so easy to find other people that thought the same, and theories of why you are right all along. Usually with a lot of other baggage linked into you being right and everyone else being wrong

Obviously this isn't always a bad thing: people also use the internet to discover that same sex attraction is actually accepted in places outside their community or that their government's position on a border dispute isn't universally accepted in environments where alternative views are legal to express. And it happens offline too (the original 'Mandela Effect' was apparently conceived by a bunch of paranormal enthusiasts in an offline environment). But if the Azeri vet is one of the few people in the world to not think what you're saying is complete nonsense, you'll be much more likely to find him online. Not all taboos are against stuff which is inherently bad to discuss, and not all beliefs universally held within a community are accurate. But a lot of fringe stuff on the internet is fringe for good reason, and even when such views are quiet widely-held "bubbles" suck in people who would never have had the motivation to seek out an offline group for discussing the coming race war or whose fault their lack of confidence in dating really was.
This got to me too. I moved from NY to Paris and the fact that the days are so short in winter doesn't make up for the fact that they are quite long in the summer. I wake up at 6 and there is no sunlight until 8 these days. Even moving to the south of France wouldn't help much.
> How did a group of British colonies become a self-proclaimed protector of continents within half a century?

50 years are a long time if a country makes the right moves. Think of where China was in 1973 and where it is in 2023. The same applies to making the wrong moves and they are much easier to do. There are so many examples that I won't make any. Pick your favorite one.

I played the same song from random services. They did not see the service nor the laptop. YouTube/Spotify/Apple/Tidal (We did not had access to more). YT usually was the worse followed by Spotify and then depending on the Genre either Tidal or apple won. All of them were in the highest settings.

I created http://autotutor.com.au together with my father, and that landed me a job at an educational software company.
I outlined my current career as an English lit grad -- and my wife's as a math grad -- in another post.

But I'd like to talk for a moment about why I think the humanities are important, especially in the context of my own career, because I think the reason I've been successful is often a result -- direct or indirect is perhaps unclear -- of the particular education I received. I was, in fact, a math nerd growing up. I did math competitions. I was two years advanced in school, and by seventh grade I had to go to a different school every morning to go get my math education at high school.

After I was a math nerd -- because, to be honest, I finally had to think about it sometime around calculus, and I didn't really enjoy it once it stopped being pure intuition -- I was just a normal nerd. I played a lot of computer games and went to LAN parties, and I learned about building computers, maintaining a network, and troubleshooting. And I decided pure math wasn't for me, but maybe computer science was. So, I started studying that. I was in a dual-enrollment program with a local college when I was in high school, and I did the first-year sequence of CS when I was 16.

I got bored, though. I didn't want to do my homework. So I decided to go find another major, and did the classic thing where I wandered through various majors trying to find a fit. Eventually, having considered history, oceanography, journalism, and philosophy, I landed on English lit. I liked the critical theory aspects -- it felt like applied philosophy, I suppose.

There's some useful context here: I was an absolute dick. I was always right. I felt like I was better than everyone else. I had done well in math competitions; even though I'd quit studying it, my computer science professors were using the work I'd turned in weeks ahead as examples in class; I felt like I was better than my peers.

My humanities education brought a lot of nuance to what was, before then, a very black-and-white reality for me. I learned a lot about the importance of communication, about how our backgrounds can lead to different interpretations of the same material, and about how to deal with challenging, uncomfortable subjects -- not just intellectually challenging topics, but emotionally challenging topics.

The funny thing is that, in the end, I landed in tech, where I've now been for over a decade. I made my way up to senior engineer, and it was largely on the strength of my communication skills, not my technical skills; the latter were necessary but not sufficient. And I think I have a lot of potential growth left -- growth which will be enabled by soft skills, not hard skills, because the more senior you become, the more the balance shifts toward soft skills.

My point here is that studying in the humanities made me a productive member of society.

When they say Svelte “compiles” your code into Javascript, doesn’t it still mean it has to ship some common code alongside your transformed code? Isn’t that still the core of a Framework?
It's protected by T2, the reboot disables the system security protection (SSP) temporarily in the T2, which then allows the OS partition to be written to, then it re-enables SSP and reboots. Only 'special' signed code can enable the update mode.
Not consciously, but there are many reasons why D as a name detracts from adoption.

The most important is search-ability (e.g. compare results when searching "c# gc" and "d gc"), but there are also subconscious impressions that you get from a name, whether you realize or not. For example, having an indistinct name makes your language feel indistinct.

I understand your C# comment was meant tongue-in-cheek but I think it shows how you're analyzing this rationally while marketing is dealing with irrational decisions that happen instantly at a subconscious and emotional level.

Marketing is important.
Right now you're using it to get downvoted on a random website comment section so perhaps take yourself a bit less seriously!
I have AirPods pro and the sony xm4. Even on bluetooth you can hear the difference. The sound stage is just bigger. The highs are more clear and the bass is more subtle.

I was once remaking some hiphop beats from there samples and you can hear the difference even more when you have a remade beat (its not 100% the same) you can hear what the compression has done to the sample.

Well why shouldn't China aspire to it? The US are the regional hegemon of the americas anyway, and we all know how much blood was spilled to accomplish that.

Latin americans had to be subjugated with brutal anti-communist dictatorships and the US are the ones who made it happen.

Look at what they're doing to Cuba as a punishment for freeing themselves from Batista, the fascist puppet the US forced as a leader in order to protect their interests there.

That's the theory behind mind mapping.

As a side note, I feel mind mapping works differently on paper than with something like Xmind. Xmind is for organising and categorising thoughts by moving them around. Paper mind maps are for helping me remember the conversation when I wrote them; I can't seem to use software for that at all.
Effortless Multilingual File Translation with Python-GPT-PO
The "python-gpt-po" project on GitHub is a modest yet highly functional tool I developed, designed to utilize OpenAI's GPT models for translating files into various languages. This Python-based application is a straightforward, no-frills solution that aims to make language translation more accessible and efficient. It's particularly suitable for individual users or small teams looking to overcome language barriers without the complexity or cost associated with more elaborate translation software. The integration with ChatGPT ensures competent and context-aware translations, offering a reliable way to communicate across different languages. If you have improvements or other questions let me know.
> Why would you use tubes if you're not making guitar distortion?

I'm planning on building a stereo Mullard 5-10 next year, I know it will be objectively worse than a modern HiFi amp or even a more recent valve-based design at actually being an audio amplifier but I think it would be a fun anachronism to use a homebuilt 1950s amp with modern equipment and there's a lot to be said for the aesthetics of valve amps as well.

Currently we have 3 AWS people on a Slack channel and we can ask questions from them at any time, they've even given suggestions on how to optimise costs and have recommended AGAINST using some AWS services because wouldn't fit our use-cases.
It's a fair criticism. React has been around for ten years now. Which by Javascript standards makes it ancient. IMHO, the javascript community has been chasing its tail a bit for most of that time in the sense that there have been very few real innovations. People keep on reinventing the same wheels. But mostly the same things that were a problem ten years ago are still problems. Problems such as managing state in a sane way, preventing issues with performance related to state changes, and keeping code bases maintainable. I'm not sure that modern is a word I'd slap on the notion of not quite having figured out those things still.

I have good hopes for some disruptions to arrive on the web via wasm. There are some interesting things happening in that space that are increasingly less about Javascript, dom trees, css, and all the limitations that come with those and more about leveling the playing field with mobile where UIs are more competitive and non Javascript frameworks seem to be preferred over the poor man's choice (aka. web based).

I'm saying that as somebody actually pushing web based on mobile (we are about to release a PWA). Just acknowledging the reality that web-based is still considered a huge compromise on ux, performance, and capabilities on mobile. Good enough is the best you can say about it. Some of those mobile frameworks (flutter, compose web, and others) are now coming to the web via wasm. IMHO, there are a lot more interesting things that could be done in that space in the next years.

I think we agree that MacPorts is doing the best it can here.

In my view[1], the issue is a package in one language introducing a dependency on an entirely different, uncommon, language runtime and toolchain. Until relatively recently (at least with respect to the post), the cryptography package did not require Rust at all. A secondary issue is the amount of dependencies actually involved in building a cryptography package. How many of those dependencies are compiler dependencies or not is not relevant to my mind; the cryptography package still transitively depends on them by way of the compiler (and by way of the package manager) and any one of those dependencies could probably read my SSH keys or do $deity knows what else to my computer.

[1]: I agree this isn't particularly well expressed by the post, nor perhaps by these comments here, but now I have to run get a haircut!
