There are multiple ways to define “correct”. I tend to favor: having the desired effect. This results in a “correct” that is highly flexible, but doesn’t label anything that one happens to choose as “correct”.

Because, according to the new rule, it&#x27;s only permitted in proper names<p>&quot;Eva&#x27;s Blumenladen&quot; is the proper name of the shop, what is put on the sign above the door.<p>&quot;Evas Brille&quot; is just Eva&#x27;s glasses.

It doesn&#x27;t make sense, but it is what the US has traditionally done. The model breakup for antitrust people was the breakup of Standard Oil, and the owners (the Rockefellers) were richer after it was broken up, and still had control. Exxon (Standard Oil New Jersey) is still the largest oil company.<p>Being political, antitrust enforcement is often largely a ritual to display for the public when corruption has become too obvious for anyone sane to deny. It has no explicit goal (except benefit to the consumer, defined arbitrarily), so it can&#x27;t actually do anything, because officially nothing is wrong other than &quot;market manipulation&quot; that &quot;harms the consumer.&quot;<p>It&#x27;s like forcing a rich guy to keep his money in two different wallets. With people making a living arguing about whether two wallets are enough, or should it be three, or even (as argued by dangerous radicals far outside of the mainstream) <i>ten wallets</i>?<p>The main reason antitrust should be pursued far more aggressively is because there is no harm to the owners other than that their ability to manipulate the market through anti-competitive means (something that they claim not to have anyway) is weakened. It&#x27;s really just paperwork. Real positive change to markets comes from forcing individuals to divest from competing companies, or by holding companies and their owners responsible for crimes that they commit.

Hey, thanks! I had looked for it when writing my previous comment, but I skipped past the ITU links on the assumption that I&#x27;d have to sign over my first-born children in order to get a copy. But it turns out that they aren&#x27;t currently restricting its availability: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.itu.int&#x2F;rec&#x2F;dologin_pub.asp?lang=e&amp;id=T-REC-X.225-199511-I!!PDF-E&amp;type=items" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.itu.int&#x2F;rec&#x2F;dologin_pub.asp?lang=e&amp;id=T-REC-X.22...</a><p>Clearly &quot;videotex&quot; is wrong. Skimming X.225, though, an awful lot of it does seem to be concerned with ⓐ half-duplex terminals and ⓑ T.62 teletex (not videotex, closer to telex) terminals. So &quot;attaching video terminals to mainframes&quot; does seem like a fair summary. Possibly Graham doesn&#x27;t know what the word &quot;videotex&quot; means, or thought (as I did, neither of us having lived in Germany) that &quot;teletex&quot; was a kind of videotex.<p>I agree that it doesn&#x27;t have the kind of functionality that HTTP cookies provide. That&#x27;s backwards, I think? HTTP cookies provide session context that persists over multiple TCP-level connections; the reuse of a single transport connection between different X.225 sessions is more like reusing a single TCP-level connection for multiple HTTP requests, or multiple users logging in and out, one after the other, on the same hardwired terminal without resetting it?<p>I wish it gave examples of usage so I knew what the resynchronization functionality was for. Maybe you know?<p>Expedited data is a thing that TCP also has, and I&#x27;ve never really understood what it was for there either. Maybe it&#x27;s for sending a ^C over a remote terminal login session when the keyboard buffer is full because the application you&#x27;re talking to is hung? The &quot;activity interrupt&quot; stuff seems like it would be a better fit for that, but maybe the expedited data facility was an older design that was retained for backward-compatibility?

To see the requirement for the non-affilation goto <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;login.wordpress.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;login.wordpress.org&#x2F;</a><p>EDIT (to save having a 2nd post). Looking at the HTML tags for the requirement it has the class &quot;login-lawsuit&quot;, so guessing this is tried to the suit WPE are bringing against WordPress&#x2F;Matt.<p>On one hand, I personally feel like Matt is trying to speed run burning all the goodwill of the wordpress project, on the other hand if you are being sued by an entity its pretty much recommended to cut ties with said entity and only deal with them via your lawyers so I can see why they would put in such a requirement.

&gt; around 10 years to get to market<p>This is really sad. A new recipe for feeding honeybees to make tastier honey could get to market in perhaps a month or two. All the chemical reactions happening in the bees gut and all the chemicals in the resulting honey are unknown, yet within a matter of weeks its being eaten.<p>Yet if we find a new way of combining chemicals to cure cancer, it takes a decade before most can benefit.<p>I feel like we don&#x27;t balance our risks vs rewards well.

I rather use WebGPU, on the Web, using it for native is always going to be playing catchup with middleware engines that don&#x27;t have to worry about targeting a 2016 hardware design, as minimum viable product across all major native APIs, and with browser sandboxing in mind.<p>Although it appears to be the next managed 3D API for Android userspace, as communicated at SIGGGRAPH, then again it is better than being stuck with GL ES 3.x as it is now.<p>So a matter of perspective I guess.

I&#x27;ve honestly never considered &quot;source available&quot; as a derogatory term. If you release your source code so people can look at it but you&#x27;re not using an Open Source license I think it&#x27;s a perfectly respectful (and often self-selected) way to describe something.

Here, too?<p>As the articles notes, this kind of apostrophe has been &quot;correct&quot; for many, many years, at least for names, and no, not just for avoiding confusion with names ending in &#x27;s&#x27;. The &quot;Duden&quot; (one of the officially recognized authorities for German spelling) has had the example &quot;Willi&#x27;s Würstchenbude&quot; for many years, despite &quot;Willis&quot; not being a common name in Germany.<p>Now that one tries to simplify things, the Cliff Clavins of Germany freak out because they lose one example where they could feel smarter than others. There really is nothing to see here.

&gt; Then, property taxes go up by $200&#x2F;mo. Do you think your rent won&#x27;t go up by at least $200&#x2F;mo as a direct consequence of the tax increase? Because it will. Because the renter is of course paying for all costs, including those taxes.<p>So, before property taxes went up, the landlord could have raised rents by $200&#x2F;month, but hadn&#x27;t because..?

&gt; Fair source has a very clear definition:<p>Just because some people decide to define a term doesn&#x27;t mean that the words making up that term aren&#x27;t confusing and misleading. Defining &quot;fair source&quot; without regard to common understandings of what&#x27;s &quot;fair&quot; is guaranteed to leave a good chunk of the world disliking your terminology.

Maybe English&#x2F;Globish should go in the opposite direction. Apostrophes, at least for the genitive case, are awfully annoying: curly&#x2F;non-curly, extra character, not pronounced, uncouth... <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Apostrophe#Criticism" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Apostrophe#Criticism</a>

By the same (linguistic) logic, &quot;open source&quot; should really refer to cases when the source is accessible, because it is just that - the opposite of &quot;closed&quot;, and &quot;libre source&quot; to the cases when there are additional freedoms of use allowed. Alas, that ship has sailed.<p>That said, &quot;fair source&quot; is a very confusing term. Not really much better.

Puma is feasible, got lucky and saw a wild one there myself! (Corcovado)<p>Spotting wild jaguars in Costa Rica is insanely unlikely though from what the park rangers told us, they are too evasive.<p>Also, don&#x27;t miss out on the Cerro Cirripo (highest mountain) if you&#x27;re there and don&#x27;t hate hiking. It is an absolutely amazing way to spend 2-3 days (but we needed permit&#x2F;reservation in advance).

Lots of possibilities. One is that Android charges a per-device* fee to the phone manufacturers to license the OS, similar to Windows.<p>*with the usual hijinks where a high-end device requires a bigger license fee than a budget phone.

I was a heavy smoker for the better part of two decades and I agree with half of what you said. Parts of smoking were great, and I miss them dearly. I quit because the totality wasn&#x27;t great for me, and I felt like it hadn&#x27;t been in a long time.<p>Where I disagree is the part about quitting and addiction. The best definition of addiction I ever received was from psychologist friend who said addiction is when a behavior is in conflict with you and your life goals. As such, it is really only a judgment someone can make about themselves. It is &quot;a personal behavior that I don&#x27;t like&quot;. I don&#x27;t think outsiders have standing to decide what is best for others.

&quot;Fair source&quot; in this case means &quot;not Open Source&quot;. Author complains about binary classification, but we get antsy about this kind of thing for a reason.<p>There&#x27;s nothing <i>wrong</i> with going source-available, and it&#x27;s quite useful - but only if you can see the source of the version you&#x27;re running! I have in the past experience with the weird <i>partly</i> available source of Windows CE, which was also very much not Open Source (no redistribution, subject to Microsoft product licensing etc).<p>This also seems downstream of the Wordpress fiasco in some way.

I agree. I attribute that mostly to NixOS though. It reminds me of the old Prince of Persia game where I could make a mistake, rewind time, and try again.<p>I find Ubuntu and others to be pretty fragile still. IMO, technologically Linux has been ready for years. If NixOS were packaged into an actual product experience it would be a great new entrant into the desktop operating system space.

I agree - the comment tree has been baffling to me too, but rather amusing. I understand that some people disagree with your original post about using a particular book to sound people out, but I don&#x27;t understand the harsh reactions to the method itself (it seems some were against the method rather than the book?). That kind of thing sounds to me like an interesting conversation starter or prompt!

Typescript was written very intentionally to be really easy to transpile to JS which is why you see so many solutions. The type checking piece remains not reimplemented despite high profile third party attempts to rewrite it in a faster language. The type checking piece is exactly the thing that makes typescript typescript. And the reason the external frontend attempt failed is that it can’t keep up with mainline development which is also true for CPython and its offshoots. In fact, TS is so easy to strip that the syntax is being standardized within official ecmascript so that any type checking annotations could be layered into JS code and engines would natively strip without needing transpolation in the first place.<p>As for “rust without the borrow checker” it’s very much not the same thing as Typescript transpilation for many reasons among which are that there are many other language rules would still have to be enforced. It’s akin to making a TS type checker that didn’t validate 1 of the language rules but enforced the others.<p>I’m not opposed to a compilation mode that didn’t enforce the borrow checker but repeated tests of compiling various software packages reveal that the borrow checker is within the noise performance wise. So you’d need a more compelling reason than “maybe it runs faster”.

Microservices are distributed and distributed systems are inherently more complex than non-distributed ones.[0]<p>&gt; A microservice can be as simple as studying it&#x27;s inputs and outputs and nothing more. All of which can be observed via tracing, logging or whatever you prefer, either on a sampled-basis, only on errors, or all the time.<p>In a statically-typed monolith, function calls are typed, I can jump to the declaration site with a mouse click and if I pass the wrong type, the code won&#x27;t compile. That&#x27;s way easier than &quot;you can observe the inputs and outputs&quot; (and hope that your observations generalise sufficiently). And yes, there are solutions for this (contract tests, Avro schemas, etc.), but they are inherently more complicated (maybe the most interesting idea I&#x27;ve seen in this space is Unison[1], but that&#x27;s not gonna gain a lot of traction anytime soon, I predict).<p>Of course, microservices have valid use cases, but they come at a significant cost. I don&#x27;t understand how one can argue that that cost doesn&#x27;t exist.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fallacies_of_distributed_computing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fallacies_of_distributed_com...</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.unison-lang.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.unison-lang.org&#x2F;</a>

You see improvements because Linux is still <i>trying to get better</i>. Linux wants to win over windows users. Windows is long past trying to win new users. Windows has moved on. Windows development now seems focused on how to better track and monetize users. Step away from windows for a few years and you will come back to something worse than when you left, similar to how airlines seem to be getting worse year on year.

The quality of the results would depend a lot on how accurately your users were modeled.<p>I could see it potentially making an A&#x2F;B test go faster IF the predictions were accurate.<p>I&#x27;d be interested to hear if anyone is using AI tools for A&#x2F;B testing and how effective it is compared to conventional tools.

There is PEP 666. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;peps.python.org&#x2F;pep-0666&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;peps.python.org&#x2F;pep-0666&#x2F;</a><p>&gt; I figure if I make this PEP, we can then ask Guido to quickly reject it, and then when this argument next starts up again, we can say ‘Guido isn’t changing things to suit the tab-haters or the only-tabbers, so this conversation is a waste of time.’ ...<p>&gt; This proposal, if accepted, will probably mean a heck of a lot of work for somebody. But since I don’t want it accepted, I don’t care.<p>I don&#x27;t know if there are others.

After having spent the last year writing rust, it&#x27;s a breath of fresh air to clone and read through a concise and straightforward repo like this.

So… like every other tool out there. C++, Rust, new JS frameworks, everything? That’s a pretty bland piece of advice.

Social security, specifically is a mostly or was mostly a way to force retirement preparation on the masses who decided they didn&#x27;t want or know how to before this. Most wealth is now held by middle aged people in the US actually, housing issues isn&#x27;t even caused by old people but by multinational banking&#x2F;holding corporations like BlackRock and its like.
