Windows isn’t open source. Perhaps Office and Windows should be broken up? They have far more market share comparatively speaking. The fact that most of the enterprise run on Microsoft could be more concerning than an consumer App Store.
(Sane) web UIs in general should be fine, since they can just use the browser's JS engine. I don't think transmission is affected, at least it's not listed as masked.

You're right about firefox though, which is weird. Apparently node is a build dependency, but I can't figure out if that's something specific to the ebuild (that Arch's PKGBUILD does as well) or just generally something the buildsystem requires, but it's not listed as a dependency at https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/linux_build.ht....

iOS isn’t a monopoly.
They are literally trying to depreciate a feature that regularly breaks user space because it’s unintentionally misused. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a use case where people actually intended to write a bare except. Anyone who ever does this are actually thinking that it’s effectively the same as “except Exception” which it isn’t, but that’s more obvious to most users.
It's not the same thing though. All of these languages have specific constructs for integrating with the CLR, the CLR is not just a compilation target like WASM is. C++/CLR even has a fourth kind of variable compared to base C++ (^, managed references of a type, in addition to the base type, * pointers to the type, and & references to the type). IronPython has not had a GIL since its early days. I'm sure the others have significant differences, but I am less aware of them.
The quote needs adjusting for inflation though.
It is more of a problem without the electoral college, because as I said the popular vote is sensitive to voter turnout. No turnout means no representation. The electors can always step up to represent their state, and if even they can't then presumably the entire election would be delayed.

I found this which lists apps and services that provide IPTV:

I mean, every other business I am aware of forces you to pay for something too?

I don't see what is confusing here. Consumers love the ad-model because they can get things "free". If the real cost of ad-supported products is too much for you, then its too expensive for you to use.

Like someone found the backdoor to the movie theater, and people just go in that way rather than pay for a ticket, and then these same people go on rants about how movie tickets are a rip-off and they make you watch 30 mins of ads before the movie, and candy is 5x overpriced, and proudly declaring "I will never pay for a movie ticket again!", as if they are some righteous moral champion standing against the greed of people wanting to get paid for their work.

Huh. "Development and Management of a Computer-centered Data Base" was published in November 1963 while a Google Books search finds the 1962 DoD "annual report of the Office of Civil Defense" at https://www.google.com/books/edition/Annual_Report_of_the_Of... (so one year older) with cover letter date "November 24, 1962" with:

> Necessary weather forecasts are furnished by the U.S. Weather Bureau. The so-called "data base" used in the computer assessment process is stored at computer locations on magnetic tapes.

On page 64 we can read about "Data Base Improvements"

> Resource data are obtained manually and by use of automatic data processing systems. ... During fiscal year 1963, OCD, through contracts and agreements with other agencies, completed or continued projects to materially strengthen the data base for these purposes.

(FY 1963 was July 1 1962-June 30 1963.)

And apparently there are three uses of "data base" in "Automation and Scientific Communication", Short Papers Contributed to the Theme Sessions of the 26th Annual Meeting of the American Documentation Institute at Chicago, Pick-Congress Hotel, October 6-11, 1963, including

> The data base for the current experimental system is derived from "Current Research and Development in Scientific Documentation, No. 10" (10).

On the other hand, https://www.google.com/books/edition/Air_Force_AFM/J8f73BV6e... tells me that in December of 1963 (after the November citation you gave), "Data Base" was defined as an Air Force term for "A group of data elements or related features arranged in a logical sequence", and an "Intelligence Data Base" is "An aggregation of finished or initially processed intelligence data ... which can be exploited to provide information to augment specific analyses and validate decisions."

That may explain why "Organization and Presentation of Environmental Data for Office of Civil Defense Use (A Feasibility Study)" dated April 1963, at https://www.google.com/books/edition/Organization_and_Presen... has a few uses of "data base" including, on page 19, "A reference library is another type of nonautomated data base."

This makes it seem like "data base" was a term in use predating that 1963 publication.
Frankly, I think the browser ecosystem needs a major shock. There are too many companies invested in the web as a platform for them to collectively allow web browsers to just stop existing, and a few years of discomfort may well be worth it if it shakes up the ecosystem a bit and brings more diversity.

Nah. All organisations have relationships, and the ones that appear on the org chart are usually a small subset of them. Actual hierarchies are extremely rare, e.g. even in an officially very hierarchical company there will usually be loops because someone nominally low actually controls someone nominally high.

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

> An honor killing (American English), honour killing (Commonwealth English), or shame killing is a traditional form of murder in which a person is killed by or at the behest of members of their family or their partner, due to culturally sanctioned beliefs that such homicides are necessary as retribution for the perceived dishonoring of the family by the victim.

> Methods of murdering include stoning, stabbing, beating, burning, beheading, hanging, throat slashing, lethal acid attacks, shooting, and strangulation. Sometimes, communities perform murders in public to warn others in the community of the possible consequences of engaging in what is seen as illicit behavior

> Often, minor girls and boys are selected by the family to act as the murderers, so that the murderer may benefit from the most favorable legal outcome. Boys and sometimes women in the family are often asked to closely control and monitor the behavior of their siblings or other members of the family, to ensure that they do not do anything to tarnish the 'honor' and 'reputation' of the family

> Sharif Kanaana, professor of anthropology at Birzeit University, says that honor killing is: "A complicated issue that cuts deep into the history of Islamic society. .. What the men of the family, clan, or tribe seek control of in a patrilineal society is reproductive power. Women for the tribe were considered a factory for making men. Honor killing is not a means to control sexual power or behavior. What's behind it is the issue of fertility or reproductive power."

> Nighat Taufeeq of the women's resource center Shirkatgah in Lahore, Pakistan says: "It is an unholy alliance that works against women: the killers take pride in what they have done, the tribal leaders condone the act and protect the killers and the police connive the cover-up." The lawyer and human rights activist Hina Jilani says, "The right to life of women in Pakistan is conditional on their obeying social norms and traditions."

> Fareena Alam, editor of a Muslim magazine, writes that honor killings which arise in Western cultures such as Britain are a tactic for immigrant families to cope with the alienating consequences of urbanization. Alam argues that immigrants remain close to the home culture and their relatives because it provides a safety net. She writes that 'In villages "back home", a man's sphere of control was broader, with a large support system. In our cities full of strangers, there is virtually no control over who one's family members sit, talk or work with.'

Hopefully that expands on it. A rotten culture of "family values" that sees women as nothing more than baby factories and keeps them under control at all times, through intimidation, persecution, monitoring, and straight up state-sanctioned killing and blaming of the victim if they try to assert themselves.
Yes for sure. But your mileage may vary, and it all depends on the quality of the dataset that you build up.

No, that is incidental. What is the first and principal thing it does, what needs does it serve by making open source browsers and operating systems?

Control. Google maintains appreciable control over mobile devices and the web by making their own mobile operating system and browser. In cases such as these, it is only a matter of time before they tightening the screws. They already have.

Here, here's someone I'm commissioning now, a basic sketch is $10 https://www.shiroganestudios.com/work/commissions

Given the project is FOSS, they'd probably be fine with that price still.

I could go through a list of literally hundreds of artists where $20 is within budget. The quality of simple logo like is needed here is about on part with what many would do for a telegram sticker, which are often about $5/piece.

Hundreds of dollars is totally reasonable if commercial. This isn't.

Much of the pain can be reduced by considering if you should bother automating the thing in the first place.

Some kinds of automation are absolutely essential. Aligning wafer stages during photolithography, shipping logistics, high frequency trading, etc. The business absolutely wouldn't work without it.

The other kinds of automation are more questionable. Developing E2E CI/CD automation for an internal tool that is redeployed once every quarter might be a more difficult sell to management. For these cases, even if the rate of manual process invocation is somewhat high (i.e. frustrating for some employees), the customer can't see it. They won't pay one additional cent for this.

There is also this entire meta time wasting game where the mere debate about "should we automate" takes up so much resources you could have manually invoked the thing more times than it would ever be feasibly invoked automatically during its projected lifetime. Alternatively, you could have just let your developers build the damn thing to get it out of their systems.
It's not even accurate at times. I think a lot of the dedicated fans have given up on it. I've seen several that have chunks of straight wrong information.

Usually it's stuff where the fan seems to have picked up on something implied in a story, but missed where it is clearly stated that isn't the case ... but then they go and write on fandom and make lots of assumptions from there and fill in other gaps with guesses.

In the US, small local banks are everywhere. There's an entire ecosystem that matches capital to start a bank with experienced management teams that run the bank (not just anyone can be an executive at an OCC chartered bank). There are SaaS providers that do the heavy IT lifting. And, of course, specialist lawyers. They open a local bank, build it to a certain size, and (usually) one of the regional or super regional banks comes and picks them up. Lather, rinse, repeat. Not unlike what you see in SV with startups.
The ol' treating social interactions as a chess match... I could have definitely related to this in my 20s, but I cannot relate to this anymore. At this point in my life it sounds truly terrible to me for multiple reasons. At some point I learned that it takes much longer than a conversation to truly get to know someone. People I was unimpressed with at first have turned out to be a really great friends a few months later. This has happened enough that I usually just give people a pass now regardless.

Thank you for being honest about making the exact mistake they are trying to help out with this.

I’ll restate what I posted elsewhere, I have never come across anyone who actually wanted to write a bare except, only people who thought naively that it worked like “except Exception” actually does.

I understand people are grabbing pitchforks because everyone has at o e time or another written code using a bare except and they are thinking that this will break it, but they 100% intended that to work like “except exception” python could just make that the default for the bare exemption and keep the syntax.

Depreciating the behavior is a good choice, and anyone who actually wants to capture exit events or keyboard interrupt can explicitly capture those.
If code breaks with this depreciation it’s because someone is doing something extremely out of the ordinary but isn’t being explicit about it.
Absolutely not. It should be abstracted out enough that it can be applied to all purchases and not just ceiling fans. Otherwise, you're going to be duplicating effort for the next purchase and you don't want to have to repeat yourself.
Woof. Yeah, you're right. That was not great.

They're also conflating stance and handedness, which may make sense in boxing I don't know much about that sport. But in judo for example there are other factors in stance choice and only about half of left handers mainly use the "left handed" stance, and plenty of right handers prefer it also.

Overall probably just really hard to get good universal data on this. I'm curious about fencing though. Another sport I don't know much about.
