North/south imply certain regions can’t improve and is far worse than developed/developing
If layperson words didn’t have an issue with 1st/3rd world, you wouldn’t see so many comments about it

Yup, it does change. It was attempted to mean “poor” and it’s been reappropriated since
If you’re trying to use modern language, it’s “developed” and “developing”
We went with moissanite, and everyone thinks its an insanely expensive diamond
Moissanite is sparklier than diamond, so for what people look at in rings, it ends up looking better than diamond
There are reasonably frequent rebuilds of basically all packages as new versions of the compiler, gcc, come in
Not to mention that even in the 60’s Nixon’s cabinet has stated he specifically started the war on drugs and marijuana in order to imprison black people and anyone against the war.
“We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news”
My assumption is that because “the state claimed the rights” for that specific book makes me think this is a special case in their laws
Can a US state or the federal government claim the right to someone else’s writing?
The Netherlands use the same copyright laws?
I always assumed that was just the US copyright system
Yeah, and as densities have increased, fewer passes have been needed to even do that
With an HDD, your operating system can (mostly) directly access bits on the magnetic disks, so you can wipe them by just writing 0 to it over and over (historically, there was a paper saying 7 times would make any bits unrecoverable - this changed as density got higher)
With SSDs, your operating system has very little control over what bits a write is touching, a lot more was moved into the firmware on the flash memory itself
So SSDs need a special command “Secure Erase” to wipe them
Ohhhh I read the congee statement as you shouldn’t eat it, not that you should
Now I understand. Thanks!
Not exactly - I’m wondering if 酸粥 is being discouraged, while the Han are still eating 稀飯
Do you know what the link to Uyghur is?
The Han Chinese people I know from Shaanxi still seem to eat congee regularly
Is there something lost in translation that the Uyghur style congee is different than the Han style or something?
Is anyone familiar with what they define as “exercising their freedom of expression”?
With the total number of people imprisoned globally for exercising their freedom of expression estimated to be at least 339
339 globally sounds extremely low to me
Are the on-device pinyin keyboards unusably bad at typing?
I know it’s complex to get the right meaning with the English alphabet, but I’m surprised at cloud-based keyboards
“Generic system images”
Since device manufacturers don’t support their hardware, Google has tried adding another layer of abstraction between hardware and the Android UI
There’s been an experimental HTTP response to support that for a long time, but no one has decided on a standardized way to collect the micro payments
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/402
What? The kernel only implements HCI - a way to talk to hardware
The Bluetooth stack and its protocols are implemented in BlueZ or on Android in Gabeldorsche
Google blocking RCS after their complaints about Apple not supporting their standard is really funny, but why CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 in this case?
The Google Messages app is Google Proprietary as is their server implementation for RCS
Nearly every computer you use, including the ones people are starting to use for self-driving, can have their memory accidentally modified from cosmic rays
We try really hard to protect spaceships from them, since they’re subject to more
However, due to the law of large numbers, sometimes your computer will get random bit flips - where it should be a 0, but it’s instead a 1, or vice versa
Apple’s using Qualcomm modems, and the complaint seems to be around the modem
