my money is on vi or vi derivates.

I don't think google will allow them to move to chromium. They need gecko to avoid anti-trust law suites.

Yeah, I believe the official instance of EU and ACM are both quite small. It is a great way to verify people's identity just from their ID.

The more I read about these kind of article the more I am amazed that our digital future is at hand in utterly incompetent people.

This person clearly have no understanding of monadic error (AKA Maybe/option monad or slightly more advanced Either monad), which is the first monad we teach at a class targeting second year undergrad.

The performance comparison is just plain factual error. The functional error code will continue to compute n2 when computation of n1 failed; the same do not happen in the exception version. If you compare codes with completely different traces, of course they will have different performance...

A properly implemented monadic error will return as soon as compute for n1 failed, and never execute the rest of the code. This is the default and idiomatic behavior in Haskell, OCaml, F#, and rust. This performance problem doesn't even happen in LINQ-style handling like in C# and Kotlin (maybe also Typescript?).

The point of monadic error is that its control flow is local, whereas exception is non-local. Specifically, the exception can be handled and occur anywhere in the code base, with no indication on the type level. So programmers will be constantly worrying about whether the exception in a function call is properly handled.

Even worse, when you try to catch a certain error, there is always the risk to accidentally catch similar exceptions in a library call or someone else's code. Writing good code with try-catch requires a lot of principle and style guides. But unlike monads, these principle and rules cannot be enforced by the type system, adding extra burden to programmers.

In fact, we have known for a long time that non-local control flows (goto, break, contiune, exception, long jump) are the breeding ground for spaghetti code. As an evidence, many non-local control flows (goto, long jump) are baned in most languages.

That being said, there are certainly cases, with proper documentation, that exception style is easy to write and understand. But I think they are very specific scenarios, which have to be justified on a case-by-case basis.

Many people don't know usb-c cable is universal, and apple only advertises chargeing iphone with macbook and ipad charger.

I imagine most of these people use an iPhone, and they will certainly waste their money on an "Apple cable".

Plus many of these tech-illiterate people are likely on a lighting iPhone with a barrel jack Windows, they won't even know they need a new charging cable until they realize their old lighting cables don't work.

Probably runs at usb2 speed and charges at 5w.

There are support table on asahi wiki. For example, here is the support page of M2: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/M2-Series-Feature-Support

It is missing thunderbolt, touch id, video decoder, video encoder, DP alt mode, pro res, PCIE etc.

The cat is playing poker with two mice in the last panel.

I have never litter trained a baby rabbit, but they generally just poop where there is hay.

Sometimes it is also helpful to pick up their droppings and put it in the litterbox, but it is largely not necessary.

They are different, the little balls are hard poop, which they will not eat. I think cencotrope are only on their butt, but I am not sure.

But they still insist that they need to consume more of it.

I cannot find anything related to "the promised 10 years of lightening". Do you min providing a source?

That didn't pass as far as I am aware.

I was talking about usb-c, and I don't care about RCS, but it is still better in everyway than SMS.

Forced by EU! Thanks again, EU.

I want to say "live to see another day", but on retrospect, that is indeed, quite boring.

Then if you care about the artists being compensated fairly, you can CD+rip; if not, streamrip/torrent will produce a lot less waste and much more convenient.

TBH most big names are millionaires anyway, I probably would care much more about my convenience than them getting paid 5 bucks for all my troubles.

If you can download music, you can either host your own using navidrome, or just use a local player like auxio.

The only downside to this approach is that the artists you like might not get compensated fairly, as most streaming service pay by stream times. This is also why I prefer buying music than streaming.

as far as I know, C# don't have proper ergonomic monadic bind as in F# (computation expression), Haskell (do expression), and Ocaml (let*), but I could be wrong.

Honestly, it is much more code to use loop with non-local control like break, continue etc. (variable initialization, append, variable mutation in loops...) than just calling a collect function (which I assume just means to_list). In the above example, in most programming language I know, you don't even need to collect the result into a list.

Not to mention, large loops with non-local control is a breeding ground for spegatti code. Because you no longer have a consistent exit point to the loop, thus making the semantics hard o reason about.

In many languages, there are type class / trait / interfaces (whatever you want to call them) that allows lazy structures to share the same API as strict ones.

bandcamp is great! you can just pay and download music in whatever format (flac, wav, mp3), no questions asked.

They don't have the Taylor Swifts of the world, but most indy bands and artists are on there, which is good enough for me.

For classical music, there is presto music, but their download experience is not as straight forward as bandcamp IMO.

I truly wish the guard recieve the sentence they deserve, instead of a immunity and a paied break, like the police.

Shortly after publishing this article in her blog, she also published a gh repo collecting incidents of misogynism https://github.com/iyzhang/misogyny/ It would be great if people can give it a read or contribute incidents.

Glad to see this article is eventually published by the ACM.

Apologists for Chinese/Russian government.

I think there is no rule, but I like to mount them on /mnt.

A good discussion can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/u0ri07/where_do_you_usually_mount_your_internal_drives/

Probably also ignoring his college dorm, tuition fees, and probably cafeteria fees.

There is no way you can "buy in bluk" when you have 1 dollar a day, as described in the article. You can barely get one orange per-day. Not to mention, there will be no way to reach a whole-sale store in the U.S., since you cannot afford any transportation, public or private, with 1 dollar.

/run is a temporary fs, so if the mount, filesystem or even the entire system crashed, all the mounted data will be cleaned up after a reboot.

On the contrary, if the mount crashed, it might leave a folder or data on /media, making subsequent mount problematic.

Here is a well-written comment about the rationale behind this mount point: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/tzo984/comment/i40e2za/

except nowadays many distro mounts removable media under /run/media instead of /media (for good reason).

I think he mentioned that ad-blocking is priacy, but I don't recall he said piracy is theft or piracy is inheritly unethical.

He mentioned many time that he pirates stuff, except he would pay for them first.

There are several competing protocol: zigbee, zwave, and the newest is matter. They just require a hub to be controlled.

I use all zigbee smart switches, and a conbee II usb stick. I have a old laptop running homeassistant os, and it has a one click addon for conbee II. I think amazon echo also have builtin zigbee controller.

If the power goes out, all the switch automatically connects back to the hub when the power is back. Obviously, this setup is not affected by google, amazon, even the entire internet goes down. As long as my router is functional, I can control everything using my phone, when I am at home.

A more important thing is update schedule, like oneplus used to state that they support their device for 3 years, but they only have one year of reasonably frequent update, after that it is like yearly update.

People who prefer to not release toxic waste for no good reason?

If I have given the chance to vote, I would personally think that your comment is inaccurate, but shouldn't be removed, especially shouldn't be removed as sexism.

To me, "mistranslation" means that a translation do not accurately refelect the original content. However, the translation of IGN, although might benefit from additional clarification, accurately reflects the content and sexual nature of the original post.

Regarding your alternative translation, although 舔 is slightly less sexual as "licked", but 不能勃起 is as much sexual as "cannot erect", if not more. If you translate it to "cannot sit", it would significantly tune down its sexual and edgy nature. This is probably why the translator choose to translate it literally instead of rephrase to "kiss ass".

I see, you are right, but translation are typically limited by space, and can never be 100% accurate without pages to explain the cultural context. Thus, it is typical for translator to choose the cloest translation that is also concise.

I claim that IGN translation is accurate, because I believe it is within the conventional bound of "meaning loss". The statement certainly reads as edgy in Chinese as they are in English. Yet, I can see an argument that these "meaning loss" can be misleading to some.

From my point of view, the IGN article doesn't seem to have mistranslation, as you claim in your original article.

As for whether using clear sexual language in a professional environment is "sexism", I think it could be up for debate.

It is in between, getting licked is the figurative speech for "unjust praises" with a hint of submission in the tone.

English also have a similar expression like "licking one's boots", but in Chinese it is more sexual, as it typically refers to licking something else. An alternative is "跪舔", which means "kneel and lick".

There are other comments in the article I linked:

杨奇于2013年扬言游戏“不需要女性玩家的反向带动”，“有些东西就是做给爷们的”，“当真喜欢软娘腐的东西，换下个产品，哥天天穿丝袜吊打上班”

Qi Yang (lead artist) has publically stated in 2013: "we don't need female player", "something are for guys only", and "if we truely love soft female or gay stuff, we would change our product, I would wear stocking to work everyday.

“游戏科学”技术美术师戴巍于2023年8月20日在知乎社区中扬言：《黑神话》中的女蛇妖“再多看看就能冲了。虽然蛇脖子暂时不习惯，但也不是不能培养”。

On August 20, 2023, the technical artist of Game Science, Wei Dai, claimed on Zhihu (Chinese Quora): "[the players] will be able to masturbate to" the female snake monster in Black Myth. "Although she has the neck of a snake, which might not be the conventional aesthetic [for masturbation], but people can eventually get used to it"

That being said, I do not claim that the dev still holds this view point now. China is a rapidly developing country, and its ideology and culture can shift just as fast.

But I am very dishearten that they would mention "feminist propaganda" in their review bans. It seems like they are still not accepting of feminism.

You comments are probably not sexist, but they are likely misinformation. The comments in IGN are likely not mis-translation, since the Mandarin-spwaking community also had pretty big reactions to the comments and histories of game science. See: https://m.douban.com/note/776087909/ and https://chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/710811.html?amp (you can try to use google translate to read the article).

The screenshot in the IGN article, to the best of my knowledge, is correctly translated. The comments listed has as much sexual implication as the translation.

I use both Mandarin and English on a daily bases, and can translate between them pretty well. It would be great for me and others, if you can be more specific on which parts of the developer's posts are mistranslated.

I think modern coffee is judged by how much the tastes reflect its distinct characteristics, which includes physical characteristic of the farm (altitude etc), fermentation process, and roasting process.

It takes a lot of work to produce good coffee, and the end result should let these efforts shine. Acidity, fragrance, and funk are great ways to communicate the life of the coffee to the taster. That is why they are typically the standard to determine good coffee, instead of generic and monotone"smoothness" that is shared across kirkland signature, peets, starbucks, and gas station coffees.

People have done that https://sprudge.com/shock-portland-man-sells-human-poop-coffee-on-craigslist-30242.html
