oh well...

The interaction was exactly that. She only said the words I quoted and left, while I stayed petrified after my first xenophobic encounter in Germany. Only when she was far away I reacted and yelled at her an argentinian insult that has no translation, out of frustration and fear. So typical for a lot of Germans and Argentinians to fake being demented when you tell them there is a racism or xenophobic problem. "surely you misremember", "surely that was not all the dialogue", "I never have seen a racist in my whole life" (ok that last one actually is hyperbolic).

Of course the mask itself was not FFP2 in an official manner, that is a fact today and at that time. That lady had no idea and should have explained to me how important it is for people in Germany to follow the law, no matter what. Instead, she reacted like that. Of course I was in the wrong, and quickly procured myself an FFP2 mask as soon as I could.

You know why I'm leaving Germany?

Because I could not adapt to the culture.
I could not learn the language.

Why Ireland? Because I have family there, because I speak their language, because people don't stare at me 24/7 on public transport, because the border police are not mini-dictators that when educated about their own laws scream at you WELCOME TO GERMANY while angrily smashing your Argentinian passport into the small table at the booth. (Now that I am a Polish citizen, I can avoid interacting with those mini dictators. Isn't that what I am supossed to do? Not stay in a country I could not adapt to? I gave it a few years, but family members dying 1000's of kilometers away from you take a toll.

What is YOUR problem, dude? Any more comments on how should I live my life?

Stop being like that, please... Engage in some empathy. Put yourself in someone else's shoes for once.

Russian has a similar distinction: if there are two "he's", you can use "on" (proximate) and "tot" (distant) to distinguish between them. Like,

"he (on) said it was okay, but he (tot) disagreed".

In this example, the first "he" is the person with the main focus in the conversation, and "tot" is someone else who was also mentioned but is not the main focus.

Most people disagree with you, or the Autobahn would have speed limits. Despite the lack of limits, the Autobahn accounts for about 31% of all traffic in Germany, but only 11% of traffic deaths. It is clearly very safe compared to other roads with speed limits, and you are not basing your fear on the facts, but on your feelings.

Markdown is already fragmented, that would just be introducing a new fragment, not a standard [insert that comic that everyone posts any time someone proposes a new standard].

The long-term solution is having whatever markdown grammar you want and converting it to a standard AST. Then anyone can create their own transformations of that AST to render whatever document they want, including a new markdown document potentially in a different grammar.

Isn't the point of Markdown that you don't need to 'see what you are generating', you can just read it? I write Markdown every day, but I do it in a plaintext editor (with syntax highlighting).

I wonder why anyone would sign up to pay US taxes regardless of their residence, if they have cash... Can't see it working. There are plenty of other places with good passports and countries to live that are either safer/more democratic, or alternatively, more free/lawless and yet welcoming to the rich. Doing business in the US does not require a passport.
If they managed to sell 8 million of these it would pay of the federal debt. Not actually unreasonable plan to fund it. Not sure if there would be that many takers...

Well, they also manufacture in Taiwan. Their office was around the corner from my restaurant here, and their staff would come in frequently. When I pre-ordered a framework 13 AMD I still lived in the USA and was waitlisted. Ages later I needed my shipping address in Taiwan and they had to completely change a bunch of stuff to make it work. Initially they wanted to put me back on a waitlist but I basically begged and they made it happen. So I guess they maintain two different warehousing and logistics operations between the two countries.
You cannot possibly compare the climate goals of countries with vast swaths of pre-industrial populations to western ones.

It would make more sense to compare the impact of Delhi to a US state for example.

The same with government. There isn't a person alive that doesn't have issue with some part of it, but start going down the list, and you'll very quickly discover why so many parts of it are important, and why you shouldn't delegate picking and choosing to an unelected billionaire narcissist with no skin in the game, no consequences for bad behavior, and most of all, no legal authority to make any of those arbitrary choices.
Yeah it's all a series of no biggies. But one day citizens in your sinking ship of a country will be looking overseas at countries like Afghanistan in longing as they flip ends of the leaderboard with you.
Makes sense to me. The annoying thing with Go is that every end of line that doesn't have a brace gets a sort of virtual semicolon added, to make it easier for the programmer, so Allman style is forbidden, since it would mean that the previous line gets a semicolon appended. I guess that also means you can't split statements across multiple lines like you can in other languages for readability :/
The Linux section just seems to be artifacts of the WSL hacks, it has nothing to do with how Linux filenames function. Those are simply bags of bytes, the encoding only matters for displaying them, and isn't interpreted internally. ls failing to access the .exe is clearly a WSL filesystem issue and not a Linux / ls issue. You also can't set a UTF-16 locale because that's not what a locale is. UTF-16/32 vs SBCS and UTF-8 is the wide/narrow character distinction, which is a whole separate thing, different ABIs, different APIs.

In any case, Little Snitch is not lying and inventing packets. I don't know why you aren't seeing anything, but as I said, it's a race condition, so that can happen, and in any case, I would say that it's a better way to analyze this by adding Little Snitch to your setup.
Automattic Hit with Class Action over WP Engine Dispute
The indie web motto/practice for this is "publish own site, syndicate elsewhere" (often abbreviated as posse). Rather blog on Facebook, just share links to your site there. The only issue is comments since people will usually comment on the platform link is posted (HN is also an example) rather than on site. Though some will argue not having comments on site is a good thing.
Is it? How? In both situations you have a group of people in power who use their power to violate rights of another group of people. Unless you say that this is okay as long as the people whose rights are violated have a different passport.
I am experimenting with dev containers at the moment. I am finding them very useful for setting up environments and they work as advertised. Where I am struggling is the poor support in the Jetbrain's suite and having to accommodate different editors. We need more tooling and editor plurality for dev containers to take off.

Have you seen the Cybertruck, the Tesla that Musk had the most direct input in designing?

Have you read of its quality control issues? Have you seen the myriad pictures and videos of Cybertrucks stuck in the snow, in the mud, in the sand? Have you seen the struts that are woefully undersized for a vehicle of such weight, and the snapped off wheels that have resulted from this? The self-cracking windshields, and the windshield wiper's laughable design that breaks frequently? I could go on...

Musk is not necessarily stupid but he does appear to think he's quite a lot smarter than he actually is, and in far more domains than he actually has expertise.

Attempting to take this seriously: If Trump undoes US sanctions and/or gets the Supreme Court to rule that OFAC sanctions cannot extend to permanent residents, then this would make a lot of money.
Force it on people, you'll see how much it works. Getting another pair of eyes on the code that you wrote is useful, but it's not free (effort, tolerance) and it's not for everyone. Just do proper code reviews. Middle ground.
To me it seems ridiculous, that a theme could even accumulate such things as analytics and even lots of dependencies. A theme is usually something self-contained. And even more ridiculous, that anyone can, as you write, "force uninstall" anything from my machine. So glad I am not a VS Code user. It seems all the typical corporate BS is happening with its marketplace and plugins.
I tried the Lite version of uBlock Origin (made for Manifest V3) but it failed to block all ads like the full version, for example I got black screen on YouTube, the ads seem to play in background, just with black screen and no audio (you still had to wait for the ad to run!)

I've since seen posts by others on Reddit and elsewhere with exact same issue, so looks like something affecting all Lite versions of uBlock, they simply can't block as effectively as Manifest v2 version.
> The difference is where you stuff the complexity.

Exactly. If it were so simple, why not just put everything in one big file / class? I guess we both agree that this very quickly leads to an unmaintainable mess.

So my rule of thumb is: can a feature theoretically be removed without touching the Order entity at all? If so, then NONE of the features parts can live in the Order entity (or even be referred by it).

That means: the Order entity must know nothing about customers, sales, how it stored or cached, how prices and taxes are calculated, how an order is cancelled or repeated or orders can be archived and viewed.

Because any of those features can be removed while the others keep working and using the exact same Order entity.
Man, this all really gets increasingly more complex in increasingly complex math…

Letting you know that VSCode is unable to uninstall the extension. It prompts me to uninstall, but when I confirm the window refreshes and the extension is still there, triggering the same "is problematic" prompt. This is an infinite loop. Same behavior when trying to uninstall the usual way from the extensions panel.

I had to manually delete the extension's folder in %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions and delete the entry from the json (%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\extensions.json).

WebAssembly doesn't exist in isolation, it needs host process to actually execute.

So whatever security considerations are to be taken from bytecode semantics, they are useless in practice, which keeps being forgotten by its advocates.

As they, and you point out, "WebAssembly's security properties are basically identical to any other interpreter,..."

The implementation makes all the difference.

I believe your message got downvoted because is synthetic, but because is wrong or not of interest.
A journalist that wilfully breaks a legally binding confidentiality agreement, is actually a terrible sign for them.

Media conglomerates will deeply worry about a journo leaking their dirty internal secrets if they morally disagree. Disney, Comcast, Fox, or Bezos don’t want them.

Sources will worry about confidentiality. If a journo confirms something is off the record, it’s off the record. No buts. This is treated very seriously: it ruins the entire publication’s reputation and ability to talk to sources.

If a naive journos tries, it’ll be killed by their editor, if not the editor-in-chief, probably under the veneer of legal and/or ethical grounds.

Of course, a journo can talk to someone else who chooses to disclose whatever, be protected, etc, and that’s how it’s done. But the oldest adage in journalism is: “don’t be the story”.

It’s probably one of the best professions, tbh, as paradoxical as it sounds.

Remember that the journalism industry, as a whole, is not the idealised dream you think it is.
> If I understand correctly, you're saying that you expect items in a column to tend to cluster near one another on disk.

That's one thing I'm saying would be sufficient to consider this file layout, yes. I'm not saying it's necessary. Databases can obviously be row-oriented too. Knowing that they don't cluster would also be layout information. As could any number of other things.

> Notably though that doesn't give you any sort of relative or absolute offset. Neither does it have anything to say about, for example, blocks of different types which might be interleaved. Or compression. Or indexes. Or copy on write related garbage collection. Or journaling. Or any number of other things.

It doesn't have to include offsets or any of those other things. File layout information could be as simple as "data should be aligned to a page boundary for performance" or "this field must reserve space for up to 16 characters" or even "data from different records should not be stored in an overlapping manner, to allow fast erasure"... I could go on. And notice the wardrobe layout example doesn't have offsets either, but the decision to separate jackets from shirts is absolutely one about layout nonetheless.

> But I think it's fairly reasonable to say that in typical usage an SQL schema is decidedly not a file layout in a literal sense.

It is not complete file layout information. But it certainly can be part of the file layout information.

Imagine you had a table with columns name1 VARCHAR(64) and name2 VARCHAR(64) in that order. Now imagine you modified a couple of bytes on the disk, such that you swap the 1 and the 2. You can imagine a database where that would be sufficient to confuse it into thinking the two columns had swapped contents, right? Could you really claim the schema didn't contain any file layout information in that scenario, when it certainly affected which bytes are interpreted as belonging to which columns?
Exact integers doesn't seem to be its strong suite. Can it even represent 3 exactly?

Running code from the linked notebook (https://github.com/AdamScherlis/notebooks-python/blob/main/m...), I can see that a 32 bit representation of the number 3 decodes to the following float: 2.999999983422908

(This is from running `decode(encode(3, 32))`)

>If your tests are fully isolated (and they should be for many reasons), parallelization ought to be almost drop in. You can set it up in github actions pretty easily.

Good point. My experience is that super-long test runs also have dependencies that interfere with parallelization, but that might just be the projects I've worked on.

> If a feature that predicted which tests to run were drop in Id say it was a no brainer too, but there is no tooling for it yet so it would have to be built from scratch.

There is! I wrote one for Python (https://getspdr.dev)! If you just care about local runs, there's also the pytest-testmon plugin. Fos Js, both Vitest and Jest have settings to enable it. It's definitely out there!
Contrived perhaps, but it was an example that was supposed to demonstrate the benefits to those long names. In my opinion, it did the opposite.

> Brazil wasn't profiting from the war. Unless you count selling food and raw material as war profiteering.

Yes I do, Brazil was selling food and raw materials to both sides while staying out of the war just like Sweden. The main difference is that Brazil moved out of its neutral position several years before the end of the war, but that only happened because of US direct support. Sweden probably got similar deals from the US but didn't want to risk getting invaded like Norway was.

> Also, all of this is extensively covered by Brazilian schools. I have no idea what accusation you have of downplaying stuff.

Like I mentioned, I was taught this in high school, but a lot of Brazilian people I mention this fact to doesn't seem to know about it. This is anecdotal though.
That's exactly what I do and it works great.
Ok but I was talking about European cities, and Döner Kebab. You're comparing it to a different dish as made in a country from the Arabian peninsula. It's fine to say that the latter is the better food but it makes no sense in the context of arguing where to get the best kebab in Europe.

I remember back in the summer of 1996 in Pakistan our household was one of the first few to have to internet.

At that time angelfire.com used to give free webspace. My brother got hold of a pirated version of CorelDraw and setup a fan website of his favorite rock band Junoon, which incidentally is still online: https://www.angelfire.com/pa/JUNOON

And then when my brother met the band at a concert and they actually recognized him due to the website. I guess first time we realized how impactful internet is going to be.
