I don't hate poly.

I actually don't even care?

My wife is plenty. I even take pictures or videos of things I experience and share it with her later because I want her to do the same.

And I thought about poly and I discovered that I wouldn't want to have a group chat to share this type of experience just to share it with all my partners equally.

Do people really hate others just because they life their lives different?

Projects have always done this, as Red Hat has always been rather litigious and it's unwise to give them any unnecessary ground for legal complaints. The common euphemism has been "Prominent North American Enterprise Linux Vendor" since the early days of CentOS.

Back in 2007, CentOS's self-description was "CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendor's redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.) CentOS is free".
I think it might be in reference to the semi-frequent heists that happen, that have real monetary value behind them. EVE players seem to be a special breed. Some of the stories are pretty incredible.

The whole concept here is that "you hate polyamory because you read books about it where it sucks and the persons are unhappy, but such books are written by the people who had bad experiences, what you really hate is them". And how he knows "many people in happy, successful, polyamorous relationships".

Well, I also know such people in real life, and they appear to be unhappy below the baseline for regular couples (which isn't that high to begin with).

And of course as memoirs and books need not be involved in the reason people dislike polyamory, the happiness level of the people involved doesn't have to be involved either: one can disapprove of polyamory in principle, just as well, without having read a memoir about it - and regardless if the people involved are happy about it or not. After all, people can be happy while doing all kinds of things that are bad for them, and even more so while doing things that are bad for society, so happiness isn't some ultimate argument.

Now, you can be pro or against polyamory, unhappy or happy in it. But this article is very light on anything substantial, and the who-writes-them-books argument is stretched beyond any reasonable level. Though, in a way he is right. I don't hate such articles: I hate the people who write such fluff (especially if they have the skills to write much better, like SSC/ACT).
It would have been just way toooo easy and non dark-pattern to replace the annoying cookie dialogues with that :(
The RHEL sources aren't freely available. They are only provided to RHEL customers. Red Hat strongly discourages said customers from leaking the sources to Rocky, so Rocky won't say anything that might reveal where they got the sources. [1]

The GPL only requires that you provide sources to those to whom you distribute binaries, not to the general public.

[1] Red Hat can probably figure it out anyway. For example, they could slightly alter the sources and/or assets provided to each customer in a way that doesn't affect the functionality, and see which version turns up in Rocky's repository. But the leaky customer might too big for Red Hat to punish. Government maybe.
> Wouldn’t rebuilding from the RHEL sources be the easier approach?

Yes, if you can get the sources, of course. RH tells that they'll stop doing business with you if you share the source code you get from RHEL, which is Free and/or Open Source software.

> Also Alma doesn’t mirror Stream, they pull sources from several unencumbered places including stream.

Thanks for clarification. AFAIK they target versions of Stream and ABI of RHEL, but I learnt more today.
I strongly believe that is mono people would be better served by accepting poly as a sexual identity, why? Because then, given that there is no shame, this incompatibility could be established upfront - thereby decreasing the likelihood of being cheated on.

Unfortunately people might still be swayed to date someone that they are extremely attracted to, and not disclose the incompatibility - the old "they have an open relationship, but only one practices." Or just getting cheated on. Still, I think that the incidence of cheating would be vastly decreased.

It's the old positive sum game, by giving them what they want, we get what we want.
shame!
1600 words that are only an update to a paywalled review of another paywalled magazine article.

We're missing all the context, but the part we can read has a strange kind of logic to it. The claim is that you should only take advice on how to build successful relationships from people who don't know how to build successful relationships. This makes no sense, but is padded with so many filler paragraphs that by the time the point is made, the dots one would need to connect to notice the contradiction have almost evaporated from working memory.

The final sentence is good, though: "The people I know from various oft-discussed groups - transgender, super-religious, autistic, rich, etc - are all nicer and more normal than their public representatives would lead you to believe." People who act as "public representatives" are often insufferable narcissists, and that's true regardless of the group they claim to represent.

As you allude to, whether it's a public service or a publicly owned corporation is probably less important.

Switzerland just pays four times as much per capita for railway infrastructure.

And of course, it's small: a bit more than a tenth of the area, a tenth of the total operated railway length, a tenth of the population. There are economies of scale, but also system complexity that scales super linearly. Afaict, a train that takes four hours from start to finish is on the long side in Switzerland, not so much in Germany.

But I'm not saying that financing and management aren't the main problems. The current CEO of SBB has a background in computer science and railway transport. Many of the DB CEOs in the past 25 years had an MBA and a career in air travel.
People are building Amiga applications as well as games and scene demos for much older 8-bit home computers with modern development tools. Even if Windows 3.1 doesn't quite have the same enthusiast following I would expect that it's possible with a bit of reverse engineering and tinkering (especially since Win3.1 is still quite small and simple).

TL;DR: I wouldn't be surprised if it's harder to support Win8 today than Win3.1 ;)

Thanks for clarification. On one hand I’m happy about you sharing this experience. On the other hand, I still feel we can’t assess the true value as it would require disclosing important information that you’d likely not be allowed to share.

How does this make sense? There is some divine being that only sometimes looks at the actual synapses to decide if it should feel nauseous or happy?

If you're developing for an embedded system, you may not want to use anything "modern".

This actually creates a good argument for considering current LLMs and other generative AI as steps in the right direction. Specifically, while we have "no idea of what basic organisation (of synapses) it stems from", we do know a few things about this organization which creates consciousness - such as:

- It is simple enough to be reachable by a dumb, brute-force, random-walking, incremental process of evolution;

- It scales well, conferring survival benefits from the start, and at every point of the way, from the first neuron, up to the human brain;

With those in mind, it absolutely makes sense for us to find a relatively simple compute/organizational system and scale it all the way to consciousness (or a set of those that scale together) - because that's exactly how evolution must have done it, since it's structurally the only thing it can do.
std::sort has a semantic requirement on the type of Compare, but Compare itself only has a constraint on the values it is comparing. From the 27.8.1.3 [1]:

"comp shall induce a strict weak ordering on the values."

It is not terribly clear what "values" is referring to, but form context it must be all values that are being sorted, as opposed to all possible values of T.

The only explicit constrain on T is that it must be Move Assignable and Constructible.

She tried to save a file, which of course did not work due to some One Drive permission thing, then she uploads it to her teacher in Teams, and it gets automatically converted from docx to odt or something else, so what she sees is not what the teacher sees, and of course there were subtle differences in the order of the images and etc, so it affects her grade.

She got quite stressed until I just told her to make a pdf and upload it, but she was smart to double check and download the uploaded file and figure out its not right.

I just dont understand how did we end up here, but more importantly, I dont understand what to do to make it better, so I am just withdrawing, going into a world of riscv and 1.44 floppy drives and just live in a parallel tech universe.

“Umm, actually, how does affect YOU?!”

Apart from the obvious reason why it can’t work (jealousy), one problem is that it’s not good for society at large. These groups are probably low fertility for one, and they take partners away from others.

Not to mention that every “polyamorous” society eventually settles into polygamy—-and that’s poison. Expect a reckoning when that happens.

Probably what we usually call "soft science" so political science and similar
What they have done made great waves in scientific research communities. They had an unwritten agreement starting with ScientificLinux and CentOS took its place, which allowed tons of places from CERN to universities worldwide to use a standard base for software development.

Now this base is gone, and we're still trying to find our new base. This is highly damaging.

I'm not keeping sides (Rocky vs. Alma, etc.), but it was a rugpull for us, worldwide.
For Python at least, sqlalchemy-history might be a good option. I used its predecessor, sqlalchemy-continuum, and that was decent as well. It just uses the same definitions as the ORM, so it's very usable. Doesn't work with Django because Django ties you to their ORM, but for the rest of the Python world it might be worth a look.

I know this probably doesn't help you in your environment, but there's not really any reason that the application needs to have only a single role that it uses to connect to the database. I implemented logging all the way down to Postgres roles - in that each user of the application had their own database user. We did a SET ROLE at the beginning of each transaction, to switch the transaction to the application user's role. I don't remember the details, but there is a way to do this very safely. I'm about to do it again on a new project I'm working on.

It's actually not that difficult to implement if you have a homogenous or flexible application environment; but it's certainly not common, although I don't know why (other than inertia).

> People are building Amiga applications as well as games and scene demos for much older 8-bit home computers with modern development tools.

Yeah but these things are built from scratch. Your average ages-old Borland or whatever suite with its build script? That's a lot of work to integrate with a modern IDE, and honestly I wouldn't risk it in that space either due to the potential for things to go horribly sideways. So you need at least the OS and build tooling combination that was used for the last certified build, and if certification requirements are really strict you can't do that in a VM but have to develop on age-appropriate hardware as well.

You normally want to see things locally as you develop them. Vercel is cool and all, but doing a git push and waiting for the build every time you want a refresh? Nah, that's not viable. And almost everything mentioned above for deployments applies to your own dev machine as well.

As someone who went to a high school (Italy) where in the first two years each student had a laptop they could use in the classroom, I agree that having a computer per student is a bad idea.

In my experience, what ended up happening was that pupils who already knew their way around a computer didn't really get any extra benefit from using cmputers in the classroom and those who didn't like using computers hated it even more when forced to write out an assignment on a keyboard as supposed to handwriting.

Most importantly though, they were a HUGE distraction. Any time the lesson got boring because the teacher wasn't good or just not good at getting the kids engaged in the lesson (which happened quite often sadly, but that is another discussion) we would all just start playing on the computers. Some kids came to school just to play videogames and barely learned anything.

Now, some of these issues (like bad professors, smart kids getting bored because of slow pace of lessons) have always been present in every school all over the world but I do think that having tech in the classroom just makes things worse, as now even those who would have normally followed the lesson are tempted to just turn on their computer and pretend to take notes when really they are playing Candy crush. It's bad enough being a teenager and being bombarded with stimuli from your phone and social media, having that kind of distraction at school just makes things even worse.

So yeah, I think tech in school is one of those things that sounds great but usually just back-fires in spectacular ways (imho).
Yeah, it's definitely painful. Over the years, I've probably spent in excess of 100 hours on understanding pip, venv, PYTHONPATH, poetry/pdm, pipfile, pyenv, ... still barely understand how it all works together.

It's a bit unfortunate that people can't look past the projections and the dot frames/QR codes. Those are just a means to an end, which is trying to simulate a world where all objects have the ability to compute and can be easily reprogrammed on the fly.

Great question! I would guess - not this soon. The games made graphics cards commodities and therefore competition and innovation pushed their performance right up. Cryptocurrency wouldn’t have caused graphics card - like architectures to appear because they probably would go straight from CPU to Asic. I think eventually AI research would have caused chips to be invented for AI which may be like graphics cards or something else entirely.
Chemistry is something that can explode and poison you. And a normal person cannot buy dangerous chemicals (that easily).

Computers are normal in everyday life and allmost every job. Whether it is research, or writing or programming - artificially seperating students from such a integral part of modern life seems not that practical. At least not, if the goal is to raise the general level of computer savviness - which I think is currently way too low. With the result of people not understanding that they are the product in social networks etc.

A couple of things:

It's a bit confusing because I wasn't ranking anything, I was voting for things. I thought I was going to rank the three things I selected, for instance. Some explanation of this might be helpful.

Maybe it's just because there's so many fruits I like, but I would have liked to pick more than 3. I was left feeling like the 3 didn't reflect much meaningful about my preferences, and was mostly about attention at that moment. Choosing up to 10 seems better to me. Or better yet, why not have it be unlimited? Unlimited with ranking? Unranked are set equal and last (except for unranked)?

Public sector IT in Denmark has been in a weird tug of war between those eager to sell out our data to American companies and those who naively think Ubuntu and LibreOffice can realistically replace the public sector's dependency on Microsoft.

We need to keep our data in Denmark and become less dependent on American companies (and especially Microsoft/Google). But the change needs to be led by IT professionals who care about usability and know better than forcing Linux and LibreOffice down the throat of elderly office workers.

One approach is to identify the business processes they are using Microsoft/Google apps for and then offer the entire process through well-designed web apps hosted in Denmark.
Taler is basically just a cover to allow countries to stop printing banknotes and minting coins.

Once banknotes and coins have fallen out of use, there's absolutely nothing in Taler preventing those governments from changing all the rules. They can simply decide to abandon the payer-anonymity as soon as they've migrated people off of banknotes-and-coins. Sorry folks! We had to stop doing blind-signing because AML and terrorists. But that's okay, we'll sign your unblinded tokens instead! And we promise not to store all those token identifiers in some huge surveillance database somewhere. Pinky-swear.

Taler really has very little to do with the internet. It's all about shutting down the presses and mints without provoking riots.
