Not really. More like a permanent resident, which is still pretty nice. In the past they were closer to citizens (and many older NZers who come over can be grandfathered into these privileges to one extent or another, with some extra red tape), but that has more to do with the legacy of the Commonwealth than current agreements.

I'd say _this_ is the comment guilty of making a false dichotomy.

I love systemd, but you've hit on one of my biggest complaints. The mounting promises a cohesive system and instead gives you a completely broken mess, with mounts being split across .mount unit files, fstab, and worst of all, .service unit files. It's a totally incoherent mess, and that's only _after_ you figure out why nothing is working right, and build a complex mental model of every single feature that does or doesn't work in which scenario. Knowledge you only gain after screaming and tearing your hair out for a weekend. Your reward? A totally incoherent, inconsistend mess.

I hate mounts in systemd.

>Will Anki remain open source?

>Absolutely. Anki’s core code will remain open source, guided by the same principles that have guided the project from the beginning.

>Anki’s core code will remain open source

Hmmmmmm. Could be benign, but... hmmmmmm...

>When Sheriff Leonard arrived, the tone suddenly changed. He said the Dallas County Courthouse was under his jurisdiction and he hadn’t authorized any such intrusion.

Reading only ever so slightly between the lines, it's clear that he probably did get it, just that he either wanted to swing his dick around for its own sake, or, more likely it seems from the dedcription in the article, resented that he was kept out of the loop on "his turf".

I love this kind of stuff - non-English programming languages, particularly when they utilise language features in unexpected ways like this.

My Turkish is pretty rusty - and was never any good anyway, but really cool stuff.

Cool idea if you have a more specific niche requirement than it would initially appear, but genuinely nice to know this is available if such a use-case happens to cross my path.

How many? 3?

The article contains the information only a few paragraphs in. It leads with the information that is actually news and is what the headline is about. You might wish every article starts with a genuflection to any and all relevant Kremlin talking points, but I think a few paragraphs in is certainly not burying it let alone not mentioning it, and you don't have a serious leg to stand on here.

I've only dabbled in Gemini so I don't know their names off the top of my head, but I tried out a number of GUI Gemini browsers in the past, and they're quite nice. Easy on the eyes, simple design, all the variable width fonts you could ask for if that's your bag.

You joke, but I honestly wonder if this period and projects didn't involve a bunch of Microsoft employees who got a little overexcited when they were told that they didn't need to maintain the insane, sometimes bug-for-bug, compatibility layers with 20-40 year old software that they had had to deal with their entire career there.

Must have felt incredibly liberating, and maybe they got a little too into the whole idea of "fresh start"(s).

I'm one of those sick, sad puppies that enjoys Excel shenanigans. Haven't been able to trst it out since I'm on my phone, but screenshots look promising, I look forward to trying it out.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up on DVD Decrypter being harder to get these days. I had no idea. When I return home I'm going to have the sift through all my old files and see if I still have a copy somewhere. Great little piece of software.

Christ, comment sections like this make me never want to do anything that might gain widespread adoption, ever.

Brought to you by the helpful folks who managed to bully WinAmp into retreating from open source. Very productive.

Currently reading through Robert Fagles' translation of the Odyssey - a superb page turner, though my father would say lacking compared to some of the older, less approachable translations - and it has a great breakdown in the opening notes of the various academic zeitgeists for understanding the composition of the poems, in particular these constructions - I belive written by Bernard Knox.

Would reproduce it here, but it's long, and obviously still under copyright. However if this post piques anybody's interest, you should be able to find a copy.... wherever copies may be found... and I highly recommend checking it out, if just for the relevant intro, if not for the translation - which I personally do rate.

I believe this post adds an interesting angle to the discussion that isn't particularly explored in the introduction to Fagles, but the Fagles introduction adds a lot of Academic-Historical context to how these literary techniques have interacted with Academic trends at various times to inform people's understanding of the pieces.

Together with the OP, the two make for great reading.

Every time I read stuff from the Dolphin crew I'm totally blown away by not just the ingenuity but the attention to detail and care for what they are doing. They are the absolute North Star of emulators. Everyone should at least aspire to conduct themselves the way this lot do.

>derivative, templated wevsite telling me to pipe curl output to sh

Sure, I'll get right on that.

The anti-Diet-Coke push has stooped to new lows. I will _NOT_ drink 'Coke No Sugar' (or whatever they'recalling it now), you will _NOT_ triumph over me.

It's just the standard. So it self ratifies. It is quite possibly one of the worst options though given how many important language features are lost in it.

Cantonese used to be the preferred, and probably is to some, but even that is far from ideal and was chosen because while it preserves more important distinctions, it also happens to be/have been a very prominent Chinese language, with a moderate level of standardisation. It wasn't chosen purely on its linguistuc merits over others.

I can't remember who it was but there's someone out there who uses a fusion of Cantonese and Hokkien, where they pronounce the initial from one and then the coda from the other or something, though I can't remember which way around they did it.

Really depends on your priorities I guess.

I recently changed all my language flashcards to be like this. Anki is probably the best option. I have the field with the Hanzi, but just configure my cards not to show it at the moment, so I break the habit of translating everything to characters in my head when I'm trying to listen. It's worked well, and the characters will be there when I decire to do something with them again.

This'll be a good one for dark-pattern-bingo night!

This person has read literally dozens of stories just like theirs and just shrugged and said "couldn't be me".

Well, it can always be you.

There's no equivalence, as outlined in the article. Discourtesy in a wildly unbalanced power relationship is significantly different depending on which side is displaying it. Further, wasting your time that you are being remunerated for is vastly different to wasting somebody's time when you are not remunerating them, but merely dangling the carrot of possible future remuneration. Your use of the word "abuser" is patently absurd.

At the risk of committing the same error as the author, I am wondering if they may have been exposed almost exclusively to American English. Many of the examples of things you can't say feel perfectly natural to me, and many of the examples of what you "would" say felt a little outlandish, but certainly more "American coded".

That said, the author isn't pulling this out of his ass, more like vastly overstating it and drawing some pretty questionable conclusions.

When I'm both reading and listening to Mandarin, there does seem to be a much stronger preference for expressing positives as negated-negatives, or even sometimes expressing fairly neutral things as the absence of their opposite, than there is in any variety if English I know. But the author has latched onto that difference a little too hard I'd say.

What about a sleep? Each release that the feature gets more deprecated, the program adds a couple milliseconds of just blocking. Less destructive, and gives a nice slow ramp up with real but non-destructive consequences.

Libc does not dictate much if anything about the UX of your IDE, so I don't see how that would be relevant.

I like seeing specialised, bespoke tools existing, that's all.

The why not is that they'll constantly be wrestling with, and limited by the generalist nature of a tool like VS Code. While generalism has its benefits and its drawbacks, what it most definitely does not give you is a fully bespoke experience, by its very definition, and I'm simply bemoaning that specific loss, because I like to see specialised tools sometimes.

Oof. That's a damn shame. I think languages and use-cases like this are the perfect place for purpose built IDE development. If even these guys are turning into a VS Code downstream that's just sad.

Coincidentally I was thinking of giving R another go, but honestly now... I'm good...
