You say you disagree, and then did not say anything that contradicts.

Not at all the same thing. Your half-baked works can't appear to be anything else than what they actually are. You are in no danger of wasting anyone's time.

For one thing, you probably never tried to mislead anyone. Did you put 8 minutes of effort into something and then come here and try to say "Hey world, here is a thing you should all care about and invest in. I mean, I didn't, but you should."?

But even if you did try, you physically cannot (5 years ago) generate the equivalent of 10 years of work by a 10 person team complete with docs and tests that all looks plausible and maybe even runs.

And I find this thought process somewhat faulty.

What are you suggesting exactly? That the maker of this hardware should do whatever it takes so that there is some official Kindle app like on Android?

I want to access my books on random devices too, which is why I never bought a frikkn Kindle book.

I did buy a bunch of Audible books, starting way back when there was nothing else, and I knew the deal when buying, so I simply went through the grief on my end to strip them (easy these days) and don't care about the legality (or rather, am willing to fight and defend the legality).

But buying something from Amazon and then complaining to anyone but Amazon that you want something Amazon doesn't provide or even allow, I don't get that.

This wish for this thing that you want should be directed at Amazon, and if you recognize that that would be pointless, well, correct, that's why you shouldn't buy a book from Amazon in the first place.

Or you should decide you don't recognize any legal conflict and help write software to uncrappify your property.

Same way you get your ios apps on it.

"RV32I doesn't define any architecture, it's just an ISA."

My friend...

They are not complaining that Gabe makes money. They are pointing out that Valve can actually afford to make the cube affordable while still making money if they wanted to. It's a choice not forced on them they way it's forced on you.

But the comment explicitly says the opposite, that the experience is subpar but they value the ethics more. This comment is pointing out the ethics are not so great.

If there is a system where someone smashes through your wall to deliver you some food, and we ask "why do we even have this guy-smashes-through-wall system?", "So we can have dinner" does not answer that question.

I don't remember ever hearing that called AT proto or AT protocol, just AT commands or AT commandset etc.

Even though I'm that old, even I don't care even if it was anyway.

...as long as the reason is what it looks like. Rather have Bluesky claim it for the purpose of having the officially recognized legal authority to grant usage to everyone else, than have a rando douche company think they can claim it to extort or simply inhibit everyone else.

You don't sound sorry.

I can't help you with your problem getting something this thoroughly gettable.

I can only assume it's deliberate.

If you say so. I didn't know that, which supports the suggestion that the title fails to be meaningful.

It's not the same as expecting the reader to know what a terminal is, just in case anyone was thinking of going there next.

Self denese isn't murder. It's killing but not murder. And yes, there are forms of killing that are legal and not murder.

And yes indeed you are correct that the sate does commit theft and declare it legal for itself.

Prisoners that are made to perform any useful work that anyone else benefits from are slaves, not merely prisoners.

If you want to invoke the word "logic" you should actually employ it.

Irrelevant. There doesn't need to be any.

"What's the financial motivation for the state" is way too blinkered and makes at least 2 different false assumptions. There are other motivations besides financial, and it doesn't have to be the state's own motivation for the state to end up doing something.

Countless government policies and programs exist which give no legitimate benefit to the state or the people, no legitimate motivation, financial or otherwise, yet they exist anyway because they do benefit and motivate someone, financially or otherwise, who has some mechanism of influence to cause it to happen.

This is almost like asking "Why would anyone do something bad?" Gosh golly why indeed? 517,000 reasons and 124 new ones every day.

It does mean they were not eaten.

GH as a backup and a downstream public mirror for a self-hosted gitea or similar is entirely purposful. None of your comments have made any sense.

They explicitly explained that the problem was not "they find seeing the text for a couple seconds too annoying to use codeberg". Codeberg offered to remove that for them so they'd never see it again. So idk why you're asking about that. Whatever the problem is, it must be something other than that, since that problem doesn't even exist.

The problem is blocking or speed-bumping users in general, everyone else besides themselves.

They didn't put things on a public hosting site for them to be hidden or obfuscated or even to have a tiny friction inserted between a user and that user discovering their stuff, or following a link to something.

Saying "2 seconds" as though that makes it insignificant is completely missing the point. 0.2 seconds, if it's 0.2 more than some other path is the same as a total block. Having a link to something do anything at all other than instantly provide that thing is outrageous and unacceptable, if you care about the experience you want to present to your users or audience.

(Still, I'd say codeberg was at least among the best options if you want someone else to host it for you. The bad job of providing a bad experience for legit users while trying to block AI scrapers can be true at the same time as no one else is doing any better without some other worse strings attached like github.)

Yes necessarily. Always. You need to invoke Nasa and fighter jets to find anything coming close, and they only manage to do any better by massive brute overkill in standards & procedures.

Yet it is not true that 1 bug is the same as 100 bugs.

There is no such thing as 0 bugs, and fewer is better than more.

Maybe working out requires attention like a sport if you're trying to eploy proper technique and be observant of pains or signs, develop, etc.

I miss nothing from listening to books while driving, doing the dishes, other houshold chores, puttering in the garage like working on a bike or car, even home repars that are somewhat technical, even electronics if only the solding/building part.

The only time I can't listen to a book (and actually get anything out of it) is when my forground activity requires the same kinds of facilities. For instance with the electronics. Listening to a book while soldering a pcb is no problem at all. The two things don't conflict, and neither hurts the other. But I can't work on the design of that same pcb whilke listening to a book. In that case the schematic gets designed fine and the book is a blank like I slept through it. pcb layout is kinda half-way. It's more visual/spacial, which is almost like doing some ordinary manual task, but it does take more problem solving attention and the book loses out somewhat sometimes.

But for all kinds of activities it's like two different things that don't impact each other at all.

Even creative things as long as it's in a different domain like drawing vs having some politics explained.

I can't listen to a book and write a song at the same time. Or code.

Cad is like pcb layout kinda 50/50 so I might still put something on but just a podcast where I don't care if I miss something.

The whole point of the line is to show that it was not in fact old english. That's why they wrote the line that way.

You were supposed to read that final disclosure part as a punchline which puts the students complaint into it's proper context of being ridiculous.

Instead you took it at face value and agree with the flummoxed student that it is totally unreasonable to be expected to deduce what droog meant from context.

No one ever needed those words to be translated. I promise I am no genius. I am here wasting time with comments like this on HN instead of literally anything better.

I didn't and don't know Russian and never even thought to try to look up anything like that.

The setting is a fictious future time and place. It's supposed to have words and other things that are different from your normal life.

I just assumed droogs and everything else were just made-up words and got their obvious meanings from context.

It's definitely not a neutral thing that a kid thinks that they way to deal with this is to see if chatgpt can translate it for them.

There will always be those people though so I don't know if it's an alarming facet of a whole population, or just the depressing but mundane fact that that has really always been most people. Still a bad thing, just maybe not a new or abnormal thing.

Or neither. Maybe it's not most people all along but it's certainly some percentage of people all along, and maybe that kid was just one of them that always has and always will exist, and nothing remarkable about it.

I want to submit a pr to s/SIGINT/0

You want to do that cleanup regardless why you exit.

You have not illustrated anything about the validity of any arguments. You have only expressed a feeling and said some things that sound like reason to you.

Which to be clear is all I did myself, but I did say it that way honestly. "there is no way that..." doesn't pretend to supply any proof, just the reasoning.

Neither of your attempted counter-examples actually amounts to the same sort of reasoning.

Except in a way you are also right and that rightness actually supports my point. I would equate you seatbelt nonsense with bicycle helmets, where it is quite up for grabs if they have been a net positive, because both the riders and the drivers are falsely trained to think the cyclists are safer and don't need to worry as much. There are not many real studies, and the few that exist, you can make them say whichever side your emotional belief wants.

But I wasn't quite going there. Operating a vehicle is operating a vehicle. Until such time as the driver, or rather mere user, bears absolutely no responsibility, like riding the bus or a train , or maybe an elevator, then "there is no way" yes a simple assertion, that it's good to train everyone that they are riding in elevators where they only need to maybe press one button to say what they want but beyond that it's out of their control and so out of their responsibility what happens after that, because we do not actually live in that world yet.

If you had put any thought into either of those, you might have come up with some argument that actually applies. Neither of these equates or relates at all.

rsync does not protect you from bitrot unless you have some script that specifically collects the rsync log and tracks when existing files change, and you somehow know every file that should not have changed and get alerted that a file changed when it shouldn't have.

Even with that, that is still just 2 equally authoritative copies, without any way to know which one suffered the bitrot.

Ok the tie-breaker data could come from history. Yesterdays log and the day before gives you the extra data points to say which side changed. As long as the log itself is somehow above reproach.

Except this script is a myth anyway. You would still need to have something where you tag files as "this file shall never change again, so if it ever appears to, tell me so I can ok or reject the change." and you would have to actually do that tagging and reviewing.

no. just sata & sas. There is no nvme spinning drive and flash loses bits just from sitting, it's not archival. flash is good for working not for storing.

that was their point

There is no way that training people not to worry is making us all safer. I don't even like how new cars have this thing where they will automatically hold the brake once stopped even if you let go. There is no way it's a net good to train people that running cars just stay where you put them like an inert object does.

ngl I think you should and then try to say that again
