he moved fast, and things broke - what's not to like?

from the other perspective, the only ones not calling them roman are 'us' ... so there's that

> Most proposals they object to are trying to solve real problems. I almost never see the EFF propose better ways to solve those problems.

To start, if the problem is 'doing something wrong' vs 'status quo', simply stopping the 'doing something wrong' is a proposal

Nevermind the many concrete recommendations which do occur- support for net neutrality is one clear example i can recall from memory, I'm sure they are others.

Also:

"In this paper we study the evolution of Unix along the FreeBSD lineage"

For those that don't realize BSD is Unix.

many subgroups of atheism, and many of those fight and have fought each other..

agree 100% on legal code versioning - legislation should be a version control diff with 'git blame' like things for contributors ..

I had thought NeXTStep was always BSD based?

Still might have paid the unix license; this was pre AT&T vs USL, but, thought nextstep was basically CMU mach (which itself was BSD+Mach) + the NextStep frameworks/ui

> Now they are shipping a built in Redis cache back-end?

no. actual link as you surmised states:

    This PR aims at adding support for Redis to be used as a caching 
    backend with Django. As redis is the most popular caching backend, 
    adding it to django.core.cache module would be a great addition for 
    developers who previously had to rely on the use of third party 
    packages.

so just a bad link title

> strongly held beliefs about identity

Not an expert on US tribal law, but US-recognized tribes have signed treaties as 'nations' with the US federal government; membership and 'nationhood' is therefore more than just a 'belief', and has some level of legal legitimacy and status within the commonly agreed upon system of treaties underlying international travel

obviously not enough for it to count for too much, even domestically, but - main point - this isn't just a 'belief' from a legal perspective as is/would be in the case of this 'world passport'.

again and again, user-controlled 'knobs' controlling content presentation/filtering would solve many 'platform content' issues, but platform providers consistently remove user control over content moderation instead of simply providing appropriate controls.

according to 5 minutes of wikipedia research:

    On Friday 11 April a meeting of the United Trades and Labour Council,
    to which Byrne had been a delegate, took place. At that meeting Irish
    Transport and General Workers' Union (ITGWU) representative Sean
    Dowling proposed that the trade unions take over Town Hall and have
    meetings there, but the proposal was not voted on.[5] On Saturday 12
    April the ITGWU workers in the Cleeve's factory in Lansdowne voted
    to go on strike. On Sunday 13 April, after a twelve-hour discussion
    and lobbying of the delegates by workers, a general strike was called
    by the city's United Trades and Labour Council.

    The union was founded by James Larkin in January 1909 as a general
    union.[1][2] Initially drawing its membership from branches of the
    Liverpool-based National Union of Dock Labourers, from which Larkin had
    been expelled, it grew to include workers in a range of industries. The
    ITGWU logo was the Red Hand of Ulster, which is synonymous with ancient
    Gaelic Ulster.

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

    James Larkin (28 January 1874 – 30 January 1947), sometimes known as Jim
    Larkin, was an Irish republican, socialist and trade union leader. He was
    one of the founders of the Irish Labour Party along with James Connolly
    and William O'Brien, and later the founder of the Irish Worker League
    (a communist party which was recognised by the Comintern as the Irish
    section of the world communist movement), as well as the Irish Transport
    and General Workers' Union (ITGWU) and the Workers' Union of Ireland
    (the two unions later merged to become SIPTU, Ireland's largest trade
    union). Along with Connolly and Jack White, he was also a founder of the
    Irish Citizen Army (ICA; a paramilitary group which was integral to both
    the Dublin lock-out and the Easter Rising). Larkin was a leading figure
    in the Syndicalist movement.[3]

So a strike instigated by a union founded by syndicalist who also founded revolutionary unions endorsed by the cominform, who was yet to pivot to the NEP and still advocating global union based insurrection to trigger socialist revolution.

Doesn't mean the proto-SU planned this activity particularly, but claiming 'no connection' when people involved were part of global revolutionary activity directly connected to groups descending from the internationale and associated with the cominform is also just as tenuous if not moreso.

people discussing various other scheduling things -

there is also 'remind': https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/

which is very flexible, unfortunately it hasn't really made it into the 'canon'

one could argue a well engineered system wouldn't require 2000 devs to work on it...

if you replace the technologies with tech-du-jour it's pretty much the same thing - kubernetes solving all of your deployment and system managment needs (except for, you know, managing or understanding kubernetes itself), json or yaml being the be-all-end-all for data formats (until you need comments, etc), 'cloud native', 'serverless', etc.

these are all tools not solutions but people keep pretending the tools are the solution. That's the 'astronaut' part - off in space and not grounded to actual user requirements.

this article is about people that would get A's but can't get in, not people that get in that don't get A's

if so then same is true for say, TCP/IP, HTTP and HTML

software repositories don't solve process problems in meatspace.

OpenBSD's 'acme-client' may be a good fit in these kinds of cases - not sure if anyone has ported to other systems but it's probably a pretty direct recompile with maybe a couple of adjustments

https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client.conf.5 http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/usr.sbin/acme-client/

this also punts the debate to the checking process instead of the fact that there even is a process to start with..

or, it's a BBC editor ensuring that china 'blocks' and the west 'filters' because that matches editorial policy.

for all we know the original text from the journalist could say 'remove' in both places - without context, we don't really know.

> To the person who made the claim, it was the first, because of their limited view of the world.

Then one would say 'it was the first i've seen'

We have language for a reason. Despite what you hear on daytime talk shows about 'your truth', back in reality, actual truth is objective

Meanwhile, on BSD UNIX derivatives, I can 'make world' since the dawn of time...

interesting read and lots to glean - but seems to draw a false distinction between local and cloud in many areas -

env portability/consistency/using prebuilds as an example could have been done with in house CD/vagrant/packer ~10y ago. This post doesn't focus specifically on that, and there are additional benefits to the approach taken, but the notion that local dev is incompatible with these types of technologies is a consistent background theme in the writing

also, referring to emacs as non graphical and 'shell based' is a bit off to say the least.

have no doubt that some christians likely dabbled with these things, as did their jewish forbears, and certainly some sects of paganism where this was explicitly allowed/incorporated

but it's one thing to acknowledge these various strands as ever having existed, and quite another to take fragmentary evidence out of context and use it as a basis to spin a whole narritive that all of the historical understanding is somehow fundamentally incorrect, and that there is some 'hidden teaching' (which incedentally and conveniently is almost always more permissive w/r/t intoxication/sexuality)

there's also the detail that this misunderstanding is also predicated on a false notion that medieval people were as hostile to medicinal plants as we have become after the advent of the pharmaceutical industry - if these plants are not 'evil' and 'suppressed', then it is less 'shocking' and 'world changing' to find references to them in what we might think are surprising places to our modern mind

not at all involved here, but i'd think managment of the full system from source (as might be needed for low level support e.g. kernel/libc patches) would be easier on arch than debian.

Too bad for most linuces we still cant build the base system in a single step like we have been able to do since the dawn of time in traditional unices.

perhaps the full manual, but the manual page (which is what I specifically mentioned) has quite the opposite:

    $ man gm4 |sed -ne 119,121p
    AUTHOR
           Written by Rene' Seindal.

... which would be essentially plagiarism in other fields.
