My understanding is doctors will reliably treat requests from autistic patients with more suspicion than they do neurotypical patients. Either because of how people on the spectrum often communicate or how they react to stress and discomfort. You're exactly correct that this kind of behavior is always unacceptable, but historically people have excused this unprofessional behavior because it's common to find autistic communication styles confusing. The reason to talk about it like this is because we should be past the era where people feel comfortable with medical professionals being ignorant about basic patterns in common behavioral communities.
It can cache at the level of any set of files, technically speaking (a single file, directory of files, and so on); so you could even use it as a Makefile replacement or something for example. But most people don't do that; the ecosystem is broadly much more coarse-grained and designed around "packages", yes.

I wasn't really referring to the coarseness though; just that a lot of Nix projects provide build caches to speed things up for contributors. It's not just something for internal teams. And it really does help.
Yes its nonsense but it does push the Russian point of view. You might think its absurd but they don't. Its just as absurd as the US pushing "weapons of mass destruction" down peoples throats and running with that nonsense for years. The point is that it is on a US owned platform that allows it to be suppressed, removed or outright dismissed.

Tiktok is not in that situation at all and that is a new paradigm we haven't had in a while.
I think the sentiment is more that Israel fucked around and found out. It’s less that Hamas is good and more that Hamas was inevitable given Israel’s conduct.

Back from that time, George W Bush literally said you are either with us or you are with the terrorists, so I feel people are pretty inoculated against allegations that they are supporting the terrorists if they don’t support the military force fighting terrorists. The “America deserved 9/11” crowd generally believes Bin Laden did 9/11 to provoke the Americans into attacking so as to create more terrorists and weaken America. This was supported by how the GWOT kept creating more terrorists after every new counter insurgency operation.

This isn’t maybe, a totally unbiased way to see things, but the point is that the sentiment generally isn’t “Hamas is great because they kill the IDF”, the sentiment is more commonly “Screw that soldier, they’re a pawn that is playing into the hands of Hamas”.

My wife is autistic, and has hyper mobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. She's had nurses accuse her of pill seeking while one or more joints have been dislocated.

It seems as if a large part of the world's (professional) empathy was drained during the COVID-19 pandemic and I'm not sure it's ever coming back.

EU, I suppose. What happens when you collect VAT from EU customers? Do you have to transfer to each of EU countries? Is it enforced somehow? What if you don't collect VAT at all? Technically speaking, EU customers buy stuff on your site, not in EU. E.g. they also buy stuff from US Amazon.com and don't pay any VAT. Especially for digital goods - there is no need for an EU delivery address.
The point is that you have the option whereas before it didn't really exist in a mass market fashion.

That's not really a related topic. In this case the parameter you demand to be prevented is "parental abuse" and the tool for preventing is "regulation". With the application of such regulation being applied via forcing the children into certain government run facilities.

The logical end of that is not "public school". It's an elimination of the concept of parents raising their own kids, in favor of removing children at birth and placing them in government run facilities.

How many batteries do you dispose of in a week? In a month? In a year?

I have a lot of battery powered devices, but it would take me a year to fill even a grocery bag with discarded batteries (with the exception of the occasional car or UPS battery swap every couple of years). But I generally use rechargeable batteries.
You're suggesting an electromagnetic phenomenon other than visible light? I suppose that would be comparably interesting.
We're not discussing "the people mandating a next-generation messaging standard." We're discussing the suggestion that the US government nationalize iMessage.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with "corporations as people" or "corporate greed." iMessage is not critical to living life in the United States or globally, so the notion that a government ought to take it from Apple anyway seems to be completely unjustified.
Would the easiest route for text be too make your own WebFont in both serif / san-serif which are "blurred/pixelated" to over ride font-family tags in CSS? Then do the remainder of the image blurring in the technique already used?
Sure so.

Renewables are not a complete solution, you need a backup for when the wind down't blow and the sun don't shine.

That backup was going to be Russian gas. Oops. Even in the best of cases, that's just not good for the climate. And you make yourself dependent on a tyrant. And that tyrant then miscalculates, thinking he can blackmail you into not supporting the country he wants to invade. And thus he invades.

With nuclear you need...nothing else. So what we should have done is build out nuclear energy like crazy, starting the same time we started our push into renewables. Because then we would have been done by now, instead of half-way done with the 2nd dirtiest electricity at the 2nd highest prices in the EU.

That's what we should have done.

But turning off perfectly fine reactors that have already been paid for and are producing tons of CO2 free electricity in a so-called "climate emergency" is incompetence that's indistinguishable from malice.
Is social anxiety disorder not protected by the ADA?
Sure! What I wanted from this job was:

1. To work on a stable product. At startups, I never got to work on the same product through multiple versions across several years. I wanted the experience of launching something, then iterating on it. To become an expert in a market and develop long-term relationships with users or customers. All the startups I'd been in either failed or pivoted within a couple years, and all the consulting work I'd done with startups was always parachuting in to help on something and then leaving soon after.

2. As mentioned, to work on something more fulfilling than SaaS products. No shade on anyone who works on these, they are often really fun and exciting. But, my last job was trying to sell a yearly $60k subscription service to companies so that they could lay off members of their team and replace them with our product. My current job is helping scientists who are researching a very nasty disease that has directly affected my family. Not only can I explain what my current company does a lot more easily, I can honestly say I am there for more than the money or how good it looks on my resume.

3. Less work. My previous job had been described—by leadership, with a wink and a nod—as 'a pie eating contest where the prize is more pie'. That is, work really hard until we get PMF, then if we get that, work even harder so that we can get acquired. At the end of that, maybe my stock options would be worth something, but the owners and investors certainly would get a nice payday. I'm in my 40s now, I'm not going to work myself like a dog anymore, I kinda just want to have a nice, easy job, as long as I can feel good about doing it.
> Why would I ever want to reset this counter?

People's preferences, habits and uses vary a lot. Since you are asking for an advice, I think you fit the stereotypical user that would never want to reset the counter.

For my personally I feel like I should replace it based on my habits and needs, not when forced by some hardware.
I am learning European Portuguese, which very much still has formal vs informal and interestingly, using Você (formal singular second person) can actually be insulting, as I think it means you think the other person is old.

So they drop the Você but still use the formal verb conjugation.

I've had a few really low points over the last couple years, where I almost checked myself into a mental health facility, but chose not to because of my T1D. It sort of forced me to come up with alternative coping mechanisms, which I'm kind of grateful for honestly.

How would a kernel smoother give the desired effect?
For actual apt designations, you would be hard pressed. You kind of need to find actual unattributed instruction sets. Like Regin or Flame, which is not a group so much as the name for an attack.

However, generally speaking The Lamberts (BlackLambert, WhiteLambert, etc) are allegedly the CIA, EquationGroup allegedly NSA, ProjectSauron is allegedly Western. DarkHotel is allegedly South Korean. Mainly these are Kaspersky designations. As the West doesn't really track the various intrusions, and the Chinese public-facing info is either deliberately wrong, or so old it's useless.
It was a "rational" decision in the context of the previous decision, the renewables push.

Pro Tip: if doing something really dumb has becomes the most rational choice in some situation, examine the decisions leading to that situation. They may not have been optimal.
"vast numbers" if Israel wanted to kill everyone? They're doing a piss poor job of it. The number of bombs they've dropped vs kill counts are less than 1 death per bomb and they could EASILY do a "better" job if their goal was to kill all "women, children, cattle, sheep".

"they're fairly open" they also drop leaflets, tell people to leave and have given more warning than any other country would do given a remote bombing campaign.

They give more warning than the terrorists did on Oct 7th.

People like you are why the claims of "racism" and "nazi" mean nothing. When everything is LITERALLY racism then nothing is.

You're clearly unable to have a real conversation. Freedom will not happen for Palestinians until terrorists like hamAss'oles are removed.

It is clear what Israel wants - safety from terrorists - and they, unlike "Palestine" have in the past been willing to work towards a 2 state solution. We are in the situation we are currently in because "Palestine" refused previous offers and instead elected terrorists into power. No freedom is possible until those hamAss'ole terrorists are gone.
Agree it’s not as bad as Vancouver, but housing costs in Tokyo are rising [1]. And speculation by Chinese investors is being blamed, similar to Vancouver.

And while I agree that public transportation is excellent, commuting every day on crowded trains, which can take an hour or more for many people, would be hell for me personally.

This isn’t based on any data, just my intuition…

I don’t think humans usually choose the “best” solution. They use solution that are a combination of readily available, easiest to get started with, and popular.
Except that didn't work.

And even had it worked, the emissions still would have been significantly higher than just going with nuclear.

sccache should not be allowed in the sandbox, at least not just bolted on; realistically such cases are probably better handled in the long run by Recursive Nix, so that you can build new derivations inside of existing ones, and the results are cached in the same (outer) store. This means there won't be duplicate caches; /nix/store and where-ever sccache puts results.

Cargo is a good example. For a number of (practical) reasons, cargo -> nix translators are a lot of effort and often have bugs, so for "simplicity" all upstream crates just compile every crate dependency every time. That means if two crates use the same dependency, it gets compiled twice. It's important to understand this is no worse than the way Cargo works already for most people. Cargo does not have a content address storage model, unfortunately. But it's pretty annoying for Nix users and costs a lot.

In theory, we could wrap rustc with a recursive-nix enabled wrapper so that rlib's etc each get a granular derivation and then get put into the host store. So assuming a crate gets built with the same flags, between two "outer" expressions, they'll get to share the work and it will go into the store. A working example of this for C++ code is nix-ccache, but a fully robust implementation is a bit of work.[1]

Recursive Nix is still experimental but there is some use of it (privately and publicly) that I know of for these purposes.

About 10 years ago I made an app called Bucket52 which challenged you to record one interesting thing you did each week. How did you make this week memorable.

It was amazing how challenging it was to do one unique thing a week. It didn't even need to be anything big, just "what will I remember about this week".

I think as a New Years Resolution, I may try it again this year.

It's difficult to recycle batteries because it's difficult to recycle them. They're complicated chemical containers that can be volatile/contain a lot of energy. Some things are easier to recycle and some are harder. Batteries are pretty close to the bottom of the list.

Rinse.

Brush again with paste.

Rinse.

I always use hot water.

I floss a lot. and I use peroxide as a mouthwash occasionally.

But you should have a pretty good idea of the state of your brush's bristles and everything in general without the need for a freaking counter, e-waste and toxic chemicals that device will leave behind.

I also keep a box of bamboo biodegradale tooth brushes on hand for guests and travel/camping/hiking.
Some threads attract significantly more 'dedicated' commenters than others.

You're not going to find a lot of nuance and understanding here, I'm afraid.

FWIW I largely agree with what you've said above. The 'threat' narrative grows because the west likes the unipolar consensus, with no other economic powers having enough status and power to challenge that hegemony. Of course when other powers come to the fore they will be declared as an existential threat; nobody wants to share a throne they sat on alone.

There is currently no great option for a ultrawide with enough DPI for comfortable photo work (or even coding depending on what you're used to). Especially if you also want it to have a high refresh rate.

Even for non-wide, only a handful of <24" QHD options exist and they are not great in terms of features - typing this from an AOC Q24G2A. The panels for this simply are not being made. And on the higher end of the spectrum, even a 5K ultrawide like the LG 34WK95U only has ~160dpi vs the ~220dpi of a Mac Studio monitor, and it's still 60hz.

For daily work, I settled on the compromise of a vertically mounted 32" 4k monitor. It gives me the equivalent of three stacked 21" 2160x1280 screens at near 140dpi. Then I have the AOC on the side for occasional gaming.
None of the software I use runs on it, and no equivalents are available for it. No, not even the list you want to rattle off if I name specific tools.
> One way to do it would be for the program to manage it.

Really? So a program can access (and modify!) the state of all of its users?

Do you realize how easy it would be to trick my Firefox instance into reading (and even modifying) the state of another user, and even running other code on behalf of another user, given that it would have privileges to do so?

If I understand correctly your proposal, you basically just converted almost every single application bug into a privilege escalation bug.

Not to mention that how do you even define what the same "app" is?

Is Firefox 28 the same app as Firefox 45? And if so, can a user install his own Firefox (like you currently can on NixOS and even other OSes)?

Also, how would you backup all of your own per-user state, given that every app can decide to manage it differently (i.e. storing it in different files and/or directories inside their own per-app directory, or perhaps even in a single per-app database which you wouldn't have access to).

Look, I'm not trying to grill you, I just think you haven't thought this through (but again, I'm happy to be proven wrong).

> This is unrealistic. On the want majority of computers an app will only be run by 1 user. Focusing on handling multiple users is a more special case and is a distraction from the point I'm trying to make.

What does this even mean? We're talking about user-specific state. So there's different state for each user, which means there are multiple users, by definition!

So how is focusing on multiple users a distraction? It's the whole point...

As I mentioned, on NixOS, the system-wide mutable state is already stored on /var/lib/<app>, which is what you are (redundantly) proposing. So we're just arguing about how to handle user-specific state, nothing else.

Which part is untrue?

In spoken French, in cases of unfamiliarity it would be more common in France to use the formal “vous” than in a place like Montreal where you’ll see “tu” still used.

When I say it “seems to be in the process” it’s because of how I’ve heard the language spoken. (Admittedly in Montreal and French Ontario and not other parts of Quebec).

Popular French (from France!) YouTuber Loïc Suberville actually notes this difference in a video a couple weeks ago (jump to 1:25 ish).

It’s something he noticed as a “metro French” speaker. And he’s made a career now out of looking at the absurdities of spoken language.

(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PzNHyk2JAas&t=83s)

Yes there is an official “language board” but that’s aspirational and not a law. Language is a reflection of how people use it.

I agree that in a formal conversation people will use “vous” (and we see similar splits of language in English “on the news” vs what people actually use), but there’s way less use of “vous” in Quebec for a lot of situations.

That's probably one of the reasons why tiktok is being criticised so heavily; that's where they want everyone looking right now, anything that detracts from that is problematic.

The fact that almost all other social media outlets are wall to wall algorithmically pushed hysteria on this topic should perhaps give you a clue. Even here, where political threads are usually promptly removed, the topic is left open for people to pour in the most insanely inflammatory rhetoric you've ever seen. There are multiple posts in this thread alone openly advocating genocide.
