I agree that data can be valuable and even one record loss can be catastrophic.

I agree that there needs to be better documentation.

I just don't agree that losing 3 replicas each living in a different DC at once is a realistic concern. The ones that would truly be concerned about this issue would do one of two things - run RF>3 (yes, it costs more) or set up some disaster recovery strategy (e.g run in multiple regions, yes that costs more.)

Because truth be told - losing 3 AZs at once is a disaster. And even if you durably persisted to disk - all 3 disks may have become corrupt anyway.

> No feigning surprise isn’t a great name. When someone acts surprised when you don’t know something, it doesn’t matter whether they’re pretending to be surprised or actually surprised. The effect is the same: the next time you have a question, you’re more likely to keep your mouth shut. An accurate name for this rule would be no acting surprised when someone doesn’t know something, but it’s a mouthful, and at this point, the current name has stuck.

There is an old story I read years ago that went something like:

When you are in grade school science you are told that a car can just be modeled as a cube.

In high school you learn you can use 3 cubes.

In college you learn you can do with hundreds of cubes.

In post-doc you learn to do it billions of points with fractal levels of interaction.

When writing the text book for grade school after years in physics academia, you write:

"A car can be sufficiently modeled as a cube".

Online warfare is warfare, and russias lies can destabilize working democracies. We all know the stories of the horrors of the 2nd world war, and never again also means fighting online warfare. Freedom is more important than freedom of lies. I’m sure that if you ask people who experienced the 2nd world war to choose between freedom and freedom of lies, they’d choose freedom.

How exactly do you plan on implementing this as an end user?

Even if you somehow manage to ensure 100% consistency with other users for updates you manually “pull” from the vendor, the vendor could simply have your device automatically reach out and update itself with a stealth update.

Or everyone can get the same exact binary, but it has a hash code check on it that activates the evil bits only on your device.

While I certainly would prefer that the IRS first and foremost go after tax evasion perpetuated by the wealthy (if for no other reason than there's likely more bank for the buck there), tax law is tax law. If someone making less than $250k/yr is evading paying taxes, the IRS should go after them just the same as if it was someone making $5M/yr.

I used to have an account on that site as well and left for the same reason: repeated messages telling me I had been flagged and I needed to reconsider when I dared to venture too far outside the desired narrative. There will be many others who have made or will make the same decision which leaves sites like this with a population which is mostly ideologically cohesive. Maybe that is a good thing for those sites and maybe the participants feel 'safe' in such an environment but it surely is lacking in stimulating curiosity and widening one's intellectual horizon.

This is because GitHub is not building the features we need, instead they are putting their energy towards the AI land grab. Bitbucket, by contrast, has a feature where you can block PRs using a checkbox list outside of the description box. There are better ways to solve this first example from OP readme.

> if you allow users to upload and share images

On my single-user Fedi server, the only person who can directly upload and share images is me. But because my profile is public, it's entirely possible that someone I'm following posts something objectionable (either intentionally or via exploitation) and it would be visible via my server (albeit fetched from the remote site.) Does that come under "moderation"? Ofcom haven't been clear. And if someone can post pornography, your site needs age verification. Does my single-user Fedi instance now need age verification because a random child might look at my profile and see a remotely-hosted pornographic image that someone (not on my instance) has posted? Ofcom, again, have not been clear.

It's a crapshoot with high stakes and only one side knows the rules.
If you’re fighting the fundamental nature of your tools, I think it behooves you to at least consider swapping them for others.

Then that does sound like your ISP may be de-prioritizing UDP data, or specifically throttling UDP flows to some level 10x smaller than your full bandwidth.

What recourse? A small, 5o-member community doesn't have the resources to ensure they're in compliance, and Ofcom's statement about how smaller players are "unlikely" to be affected is not particularly reassuring.

The "stated purpose" is irrelevant. Even if they are being honest about their stated purpose (questionable), the only thing that matters is how it ends up playing out in reality.

The author of that article is acting as though there were only two types of employees at a university: faculty and administrative. Yet this is false, faculty are "team leaders" managing a team of scientific staff (non-faculty). Typically (besides PhD students) postdocs and research scientists.

For instance, one university has:

- faculty 6% (the actual professors and associate professors running things)

- postdocs 9% (faculty/staff scientist aspirants with a PhD)

- research staff 25% (e.g. research engineer, research scientist)

- other academic staff 12% (I imagine, technicians)

- admin staff 28%

So, while faculty is only 6% of the overall workforce, scientific employees still make up 52% of the lot. Add to that the PhD students who are not counted as employees in the US despite being paid and having employee duties towards their superior (a member of faculty). This same university has about 40% of the number of employees worth of graduate students (7k to the 17k), for instance.

In conclusion, what the statistics you report show, is rather how precarious research has become. There existed no such thing as a postdoc in the 70s; my advisor's advisor, who was recruited in that decade, had already signed a contract for tenured employment before his PhD was even over, as did many of his peers. Nowadays, it's typical to postdoc for a minimum of 3 years, and then play the odds, which are not in the candidate's favour as the 6% faculty to 9% postdoc hints at.
Yeah, I think “outlier” is the key word there. Within the realm of typical physiology, typical genetics, typical nurture (say within two standard deviations for all of those), there’s huge opportunity for hard work and growth.

I think you cannot really compare the minuscule differences between "Standard German", "Austrian Standard German", and "Swiss Standard German" to the differences between English, Irish and Welsh, which are not even from the same language family. Also, the tool is based on Google Translate, and AFAIK Google Translate doesn't differentiate between them.

Comparing the tool to this map [0], it seems to do a pretty good job in capturing all major languages in Europe, while ignoring their dialects.

But I agree that I would be great if you could zoom into the map and also show differences in local dialects. ChatGPT seems to be pretty good at translating to different variants of standard German, or German dialects [1]

You know how online comments can be used to silence people?
Imagine we had a heated argument and I end with „I know where you live“
Depending on the circumstances at some people at that point feel threatened and stop using their free speech.

Or think about the people who get fired for online comments.

You could say, free speech doesn’t mean free if consequences but that means it’s not free speech, but without consequences you could threat other people and stop their freedom of speech.
Every freedom stops where the freedom of others begin, that’s why no freedom can be unlimited.

> You either have a democracy where people can choose their leaders or you don’t.

Sorry that’s BS. Every democracy has rules for those who want to vote and want to get voted. Something like stripping convicted of their voting rights forever is impossible in Germany. You can even vote in prison. And given that taxpayers pay for the parties expenses and that they get free airtime in TV for their ads the are certain rules you have to comply to be a allowed party. So comply with the constitution is one main point.

Because former soviet states joined NATO russia had to attack and kill Ukrainian civilians? Really?

By that livic Russia could attack the US and shouldn’t be labeled the aggressor. I doubt that Trump would do that but maybe he would offer some US states to make a deal to get peace.

As the original commenter, I live in Toronto, Canada. It's pretty simple: homes are too expensive. One bedroom in an illegal sublet of an eighth of a house can be C$1000+/month. Why would anyone pay money to live in a de facto homeless shelter when one can be homeless for free?

If we want to fix this, we need to build more supply. The system we have now has too much regulation and permitting designed to block development, so the only stuff that gets built is single family luxury housing or extremely large multifamily apartment complexes.
When I started diving I still didn't understand the difference between dry and wet suits. Although a dry suit could look pretty similar to a regular wet suit to a non diver from far away, the way of wearing it is way different.

A wet suit is used in warm/hot weather were the insulation provided by the neoprene and the wather that gets trapped between the suit and your body is enough. If you pee on a wet suit, well, your wet anyway, and it's not much of a difference.

A dry suit is what is used for really cold weather, and it's really dry inside. It's watertight. For keeping yourself warm inside the suit, you just wear some layers of "regular" dry clothes. So if you pee in a dry suit, your peeing on your dry clothes.

Would be like peeing in your flight or space suit (without a catheter like system like the described in the post)
That's what the evidence suggests.

This is how I was introduced to Half-Life - I got it with my GPU and played Day One.

Unfortunately I also don't recall which it was. I do recall I had a Voodoo, then moved to a TNT2 and then later a GeForce 2. The TNT2 came out well after Half-Life, so it must have been 3dfx at least.
But repeated application of the unary minus basically results in a no-op. So it’s somewhat exceptional in that regard.
