see Baader-Meinhof

Yep the whole thing was, in retrospect, the second wave of denazification. Less so about the actual ideology, but deeper attitudes underpinning it. Things like the Jubelperser incident are completely unthinkable nowadays. The attitude by far isn't dead yet as you can see e.g. when it comes to the reaction to Extinction Rebellion but it's quite a ways from its former harshness and unquestioned acceptance.

And just for the record: The RAF's methods were never in any way popular. A cultish splinter group of a splinter group with very problematic internal dynamics not taking long to be more occupied with employing terrorism to free its members from prison than with any political struggle. Lots of issues with the urban guerilla in general, CCK Philosophy has an essay about it.

Reducing the whole 68 movement in Germany to the RAF would be doing it a great disservice.

Same in the EU. Or at least I think so, it's the case over here and it's EU-wide for electricity providers. Water, sewage and garbage disposal are municipal responsibility though there's no network/provider separation there.

What's actually missing is a municipal-level telecom monopoly -- again, with separate providers. The last-mile network is just as much a natural monopoly for telecom as it is for other wires or pipes.

Wikipedia is gauging interest for an extension that uses AI to see if any claim is cited on Wikipedia (meta.wikimedia.org)

A prototype is available, though it's Chrome-only and English-only at the moment. How this'll work is you select some text and then click on the extension, which will try to "return the relevant quote and inference for the user, along with links to article and quality signals"....

A simple web search is going to hit their massive distributed DB to return answers in subsecond time.

It's going to hit an index, not the actual data, it's going to return approximate and not accurate results. Tons of engineering been done around basic search precisely to get more data locality.

Read a blog post at some time (please don't ask me where) talking about Bing vs. Google when Bing started to use ChatGPT and it basically boiled down to "Google has the tech to do it, they don't roll it out because they don't want to eat the electricity bill this is MS spending money to get market share". The cost difference in providing search vs. having ChatGPT answer a question was something like 10x. It might not be that way forever what with beating models down to work in trinary and stuff, though (that's not just massive quantisation but also much easier maths, convolutions don't need much maths when all you deal with is -1, 0, 1 IIRC you can throw out the multiplication unit and work with nothing but shifts and adds)

For the uninitiated: It's more the other way around. Trans folks are like 20% straight, almost the opposite of the cis population which is honestly not that mindboggling if you consider that that sexual orientation and gender identification are different things, not just conceptually but biologically. Flipping one switch doesn't flip the other.

Firefox doesn't pretend to use AppleWebKit. It's actually the only one which identifies itself correctly... mostly, at least:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0

While about:support says "Window Protocol: wayland". But that's ok websites shouldn't care anyway.

It's other browsers who send things like "like Gecko" to sneak past old browser-detection code.

It's miles better than reddit's search has ever been.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

barsoap ,

A stock image of Kiel is really not out of place for an article about Schleswig-Holstein, it being our capital and all. It's also a fleet base. And you can find vaguely similar towers there.

What doesn't make sense is the rest: The penguins, the what galleons I think with Imperial livery, Schwarz-Rot-Gold in combination with Imperial livery, what looks like a Lübeck flag (of all cities!) but rotated, and whatever the other flag is supposed to be. This is Kiel's flag, for reference. Oh: Half-timbered houses. Those look like copy+pasted out of Swabia or something.

If governments actually employed most of the development teams who build their services, and cut out most of the private middlemen consultants, managers, sales staff etc

You mean this? They've been working on it for a while, this is about adopting stuff they've already done.

For example, covid tracking apps

Germany's is open source. Developed by Telekom and SAP, most of the money didn't go towards development (it's simple enough of an app, after all) but infrastructure and end-user support. You can't just tell random FLOSS people to deal with 80 million DAUs.

barsoap ,

Penguin, singular. Also none of them are fat and content enough to be Tux but fair point, that's probably how they ended up there.

barsoap ,

According to an old interview, pretty much whatever: They're saying "five big distributions are suitable".

They're starting the switch with apps, not the OS. From a technical POV it'd be nice to see NixOS as it's devops / managed deployment heaven. It also happens to be European and, just like Debian, it's a community distro.

For a project of this size, doubly and triply if it gets even more states as users, it absolutely does make sense to have your own release channel, have a team working on nothing but pushing patches (security and otherwise) onto an LTS branch and upstream as well as integration testing for the precise desktop you're shipping to users: The states are paying them to support a desktop, not an OS to run whatever on.

barsoap ,

What you actually want is a nice picture of either a market place or seafront promenade and a fat and content (as usual) Tux munching a Fischbrötchen

Dataport is big enough (5200 employees) to support that kind of thing themselves, and they precisely are the single vendor for the participating states (it's an inter-state public corporation). More than twice the employees Suse has, quarter the size of RedHat.

barsoap ,

ASCII 0x1f, unit separator and 0x1e, record separator. There's also 0x1d group separator and 0x1c file separator.

Both CSV and TSV have been a mistake from the start it's not like they'd be suitable for binary data anyway and not using ASCII control codes specifically made for in-band messaging of record fields means they ate into the printable characters (and yes \n and \t are printable, they move the print head that's a printing action).

If you want binary compatibility either use bencode or throw ASN.1 at it. The important thing is to have a simple enough data model, don't try to save code in the base compatibility version, evaluate the whole sheet before export if you have to. Using sqlite as interchange format is a bit hacky, but honestly defensible especially with the code (which kinda is the spec) being public domain.

barsoap ,

That's one of the reasons why dataport (who are going to do the migration as the state's IT consultant / dev house) was founded in the first place: So that IT can work like IT does and not be beholden to bosses who think in bridge construction terms in one place, and tax collection terms in another. Now those bosses are mere clients of an inter-state agency that does nothing but IT, and IT can speak with authority when it comes to IT matters.

barsoap ,

Eh, it's civil servants. They'll be sent to training, if it turns out they can't be trained they'll have choice between quitting or working where their qualifications suffice. Have them walk dikes to find rabbit burrows if need be.

barsoap ,

But there’s one agency/department/guy (I seriously don’t know) who has to confirm that the data of our staging system reached their system and was processed correctly.

There's no "their system": The boxes under the desks of civil servants are managed by dataport, talking to backend infrastructure managed by dataport.

If there's some new administrative procedure agencies or ministries want their civil servants to do and it can't be implemented because it's under-specced or just incoherent then dataport gets to send that spec back saying "fix your shit": It's not like the agencies have a choice in who's running their infrastructure. The tax office can't do jackshit if the fire inspector doesn't like their new plans either. If things are implemented as specced and people complain and want a rework then dataport can say "well it's your budget, not ours". If they do that all the time at some point the court of accounts will take them aside for a polite conversation. Just this one thing, making IT external to whatever it is that the agency is doing, provides lots of accountability.

That is: The solution isn't so much to eradicate bullshit but to make sure that it stays in the silo where it got generated.

but if all their clients are overworked, understaffed or straight up incompetent

I'll just leave this here.

barsoap ,

Oh he's still perfectly blunt about code, and even about people if need be but he makes sure he has a good night's worth of sleep before he does that to not do it in anger. Which means dress-downs are now of the "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed" type. I'm not aware of him ever telling people to kill themselves, just erm "wondering":

Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it
was a good idea to read things ONE F*CKING BYTE AT A TIME with system
calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the f*ck does
idiotic things like that? How did they noty die as babies, considering
that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?

(And to be fair, yes, reading things one byte at a time is fucking stupid. Not something you'd ever expect in a kernel)

The churches don't have enough political influence to keep Sunday a rest day. That we still have a mostly closed down Sunday (minus vital and emergency services and recreation) is union influence. IG Metall and Ver.di would skin the SPD alive if they were to propose abolishing it.

Consider the alternative: All your friends have different days off, so organising a grill party becomes a once in a summer opportunity when all your days off happen to align.

barsoap ,

In a proper streetcar suburb there should be a supermarket at the tram stop. Also daycare and small primary school, a hair stylist, a GP office, and a restaurant/takeout. Parcel pickup. You only take the tram if you need to go somewhere that has a larger catchment area than a tram stop and especially the supermarket and takeout should be directly at the tram stop so that commuters can grab something on their way home, the rest can be a bit more distributed. One tram stop might have a clothing store, another a shoe store.

Have plenty of bike parking that doubles the radius for the catchment area. housing density should gradually fall off from the tram stop outwards, you can e.g. have a couple of 8-storey blocks around the tram stops with a quasi-urban feel surrounded by 3-5 storeys interspersed with football pitches and greenery and playgrounds, then terraced homes, then finally single-family homes. As to street design: Plenty of cul-de-sacs and traffic calming, make sure that the cul-de-sacs are only for cars, bikes can continue on (you don't need separate bike infrastructure in traffic-calmed areas), also plenty of small paths cutting through everything so kids can visit friends living away 100m without you having to get on a highway first.

barsoap ,

On the contrary there's a lot of shift work in industry, especially IG Metall's "core" clientele, metalworkers. A blast furnace don't care whether it's Sunday you need workers to work it, 24/7 -- with extra extra pay for night shifts and Sundays. But IG Metall also covers the engineering side and with that IT workers, plenty of white-collar jobs included it's a really big tent.

This is exactly it: The best treatment for opioid addiction is tapering them over time (though with the likes of fentanyl you want to downgrade to heroin) flanked by socio-psychological treatment. Crime suddenly plummets, when not having to fear for their dose and life addicts become functional, some of them might be too far gone to get the curve but it's still going to be cheaper overall to society because pharmaceutical-grade heroin is cheap as fuck and, as said, you're slashing crime. Heroin is not a drug that, in itself, makes you non-functioning, or would be particularly dangerous to health -- gotta monitor respiration while under but that's it, it doesn't kill your organs or something.

Meth and crack are quite a bit harder in the sense that tapering doesn't really work, but it's still not a good idea having addicts running around looking for copper to sell and dicks to suck. Similar issue as with alcohol, actually: Tapering doesn't work there, either, but if you can get people stabilised and away from binge drinking things suddenly look way better and possibilities open. That is, instead of getting up, noticing that there's no alcohol, then hustling for a bottle or two of liqueur to binge come evening, you get them on a regular glass of wine every few hours, enough to stave off withdrawal and suddenly they can actually develop clarity instead of being either restless or completely plastered.

barsoap ,

What you're describing isn't shelters it's a sad excuse.

barsoap ,

It's not a Protestant thing but individualism and competitiveness taken to American degrees. Ask an OG European Lutheran theologist and they'd say something along the lines of "As you hand a construction worker a shovel, so you hand an addict the necessary tools to do their work", and to the addict "as you work on yourself, god will see and smile on you". A work ethics can exist without getting societal atomisation, "fuck you got mine", and "the result of work is money, if it doesn't earn money it's not work" into play.

barsoap ,

Which doesn't really have anything to do with protestantism, though.

To give an armchair diagnosis of the American condition from the psychological/theological POV, it's Calvinist focus on predetermination combined with not understanding the "lazy argument" as the Stoics call it: The universe is deterministic thus things are predetermined, so the Stoics say, and then detractors say "if it is predetermined whether I live or die, it doesn't matter whether I go to the doctor". "Bullshit", say the Stoics, "the proper argument goes like this: If it's ordained by the fates that you live, you will go to the doctor, if it is ordained that you die, you won't". If that argument now convinces you that you can "change" your fate by going to the doctor, then the fates always intended you to be swayed by it. But in any case: Actions matter. The fates won't bend physics to accommodate you not wanting to go to the doctor, their machinations are weaved into, indeed are, the very laws of the universe.

That is, as far as this kind of doctrine is concerned seeing an addict and saying "this is one who does no work, he's not one who will reach the heavens, he can be discarded" only means that you, yourself, are not doing the work demanded of a Christian, as you do not know whether even a simple kind word might not change their life for the better, and you were there, and you said nothing, and you will be judged by god for judging without qualification, and the addict will be judged by god, and god will see that the addict has done their part of the work, and they will go to heaven.

(Not Christian btw I just like to preach the real stuff to people who pretend they are)

But that implies anyone could look like anyone else.

I would assume the machines hook the brains up into the matrix, generating the body based on DNA and what the brain expects, not based on a scan or something. Which would mean that in the matrix there's no trans people because noone has a body they don't vibe with but it also means that you can't just wish yourself to grow a couple of centimetres or such.

barsoap ,

Who knows what else got cut?

Thermodynamics. The original idea was the machines using human brains as CPUs, execs said "the audience doesn't know what computation is" so they came up with that "humans generate energy" thing which is complete and utter inefficient nonsense.

barsoap ,

Yes but why keep humans around then, why not just kill them all off? Could be some "Robot Law" injunction, "don't harm humans", but I'd say introducing that would introduce complexity into the setting that detracts from the main themes.

"We're using humans for their computational power" doesn't need much history or exposition as it's a completely practical matter: Suspension of disbelief for minimum investment, a script writer's dream.

Gore-tex is shit. You're much better off with waxed fabric with strategic flaps for breathability (rain doesn't tend to fall from below).

barsoap ,

First off, gore-tex is shit. But, yes, leather is nearly as non-breathable as a plastic bag that's why the traditional use of it is for things like elbow and knee patches, extreme heat protection, such things. Boots, of course. The solution is as always proper layering, not exactly a modern invention: You wear something breathable for warmth, and something non-breathable that you can take off, and has breathing flaps (rain doesn't fall from below), for water protection.

Hemp and also linen are even harder to grow than cotton, though much of it is due to not as advanced machinery for harvesting and processing. Hemp also sucks as a material for clothing, to make it wearable you have to treat it quite heavily or it's scratchy AF.

Taking production out of the equation linen is the best material of the three: Much better moisture regulation than cotton, only real downside is that it crinkles easily but it also crinkles elegantly so wear it with pride and you'll be fine.

Production-wise the best alternative right now is modal, that is, basically, synthesised cotton, raw material is anything that contains cellulose. Nasty chemicals are involved but in modern processes it's all closed-loop, the nasty stuff all stays within the factory.

Oh, one often overlooked factor: Seams. Modal is better than cotton at being yarn because the cellulose fibres are much longer but nothing compares to the likes of polyester when it comes to not coming apart. I don't think there's an alternative yet, either you use polyester and make the whole garment non-biodegradable or you use modal and live with the reduced durability. Though one idea would be to aggressively get rid of seams, you can knit yarn into any shape whatsoever. Wait: Silica thread is a thing. Usually only used for extreme applications (think firefighter gear), also uses some chemicals to make it usable in sewing machines and it just won't ever hold a knot so when it comes apart it comes apart completely, but it's essentially fancy stone, just like computer chips: Doesn't really biodegrade but it doesn't matter that it doesn't, either.

Another overlooked factor is stretch. There's no natural alternative to elasthan, so no yoga pants or stretch jeans. Tons of stuff nowadays contains elasthan, often just a bit for a tiny bit of stretch simply because it's more comfortable.

Just a heads up: Wax isn't wax, if it has the wrong properties you could get anything from sub-par results to a complete mess. Most commercial waxes are a paraffin and bees wax mixture, vegan discussions about honey aside if you're really up for it you can try and find an abandoned hive in the forest. Another, not exactly inexpensive but very good alternative is microcrystalline wax. Not that beeswax is inexpensive either, though.

I happen to live in an area where it rains a lot, but most of it isn't drenching, plain moleskin (that's cotton, not mole leather) is sufficient 99.9% of the time and the rest, well, I get drenched. I'm not hiking out in the wilderness so it's not exactly a survival issue. Though the only reason that moleskin is sufficient is because it's multi-layered in the areas that count, especially shoulders and upper back: The upper layer can get drenched while the lower layer stays dry enough. Also moleskin is so dense it needs flaps for comfort: The lower layer has slits for that reason, covered by the upper layer which is open at the bottom.

Stuff that's actually novel and interesting and not the same rehashed culture war from across the Atlantic.

"But but we've gotta organise over here and tell people" -- yes, granted. Do that in a place where it has an impact. If you want a choir to rehearse with I bet you can find one locally, no need to pretend to preach to 196 of all places.

"But there's anti-electoralists in 196 that could be convinced" -- no. They're either tankies or otherwise have their ass so far up their "principled" theoretical asses that they couldn't spot praxis if it hits them over the head. As the Stoics say: Never attempt the impossible, for you will surely be disheartened. You will be ineffective, you will blame gods and men, and you will be miserable. Instead, do the possible.

Bear with me, I happen to have watched way too many demographics videos lately:

The US is actually a darn big place and it's not hard to carve out a homestead or thousand for yourselves. All that's necessary to become the majority cultural/political force, in the long term, is to out-breed the Amish... for queer (modulo bi) values of "out-breed". May I suggest funding communes at the arse-end of nowhere (the cities are blue already, anyway) and adopt around 10 children per half-couple (polys need more complicated maths). If anyone objects, just call it a religion. The number is that high (Amish have an average of 7 births per woman) because few of those will actually turn out to be queer thus the community attrition rate will be high, OTOH you'll get reinforced by refugees (incl. ex-Amish) and the people leaving are very unlikely to be queer-phobic, constituting something of a vanguard for queer acceptance in other areas. Also I didn't do any maths you probably should be more thorough.

barsoap ,

And CPUs still do it to this day. Nasty, nasty maths involved in figuring out an optimal combination between lookup table size and refinement calculations because that output can't be approximate, it has to work how IEEE floats are supposed to work. Pure numerology.

Most notably perspective only gets calculated on the horizontal axis, vertically there is no perspective projection. Playing the OG graphics with mouse gets trippy fast because of that. Doom doesn't use much verticality to hide it. Duke Nukem level design uses it more and it's noticeable but still tolerable. Modern level design with that kind of funk, forget it.

barsoap , (edited )

Duke Nukem can do that, too, both it and Dark Forces use portal engines while Doom is a BSP engine. With a portal engine you're not bound to a single global coordinate system, you can make things pass through each other.

Not actually a feature of the renderer you can do the same using modern rendering tech, though I can't off the top of my head think of a game that uses it. Certainly none of the big game engines support it out of the box. You can still do it by changing levels and it wouldn't be hard to do something half-way convincing in the Source engine (Half-Life, Portal, etc, the Valve thing), quick level loading by mere movement is one of its core features, but it isn't quite as seamless as a true portal engine would be.

Hmmm you sure you're not watching other techbro stuff? Religion isn't the only factor in play with Elon Musk the Saviour. That said, have a satanic algorithm cleanser here and a magical one here, pushing you towards "atheist mystic scholar" which is pretty much the diametrical opposite of TV evangelist fare. If you want hardcore scholar stuff within an Abrahamic context that also exists. With that under your belt and seen the algorithm should realise that rapture heroin will have no effect on you, presumably it's pushing it because it gets a lot of engagement when it leads people down that path.

The best antidote to techbro stuff should be things like tesla takedowns as well as actual science journalism.

Really depends. Exp points range from a mere UI feature for skill progress (you've picked a lock you're this much closer to getting better at picking locks), over fungible skill progress (you've picked 100 locks so you get stronger and can spend a skill point on archery), to pay2win madness.

Structurally exp points come into play each time any progression in a game is not immediate -- "defeat the guardian at the gate, now you can go through the gate" has a 1:1 relationship between things-you-do to more-access-to-things, if you have to collect ten fox skins to gift to the guardian to let you through that's a 10:1 relationship. Doesn't sound like exp but in the raw game mechanics those things are isomorphic.

...to bring that later point a bit into perspective: Imagine a card game where you have five stacks of ten cards. You draw cards from the first stack (not just the top card) until you get a certain card that's guaranteed to be in there (say the ace of spades), once you have it you can continue to draw from that stack, or move on to the second stack. Once you've drawn the special card from the last stack the game is presumed over though you're free to both draw from any stack that still has cards on it, as well as sit around on the table doing nothing.

Doesn't sound like a game? Uninteresting? It depends: It's the mechanics of your usual walking simulator and they can tell very good stories. It's progression by (semi-)random n:1 actions. If the environmental storytelling is good, if the setting is engaging, if the mystery is enticing, then time will pass like nothing. If you're doing it with actual cards yes it's pure grind.

tl;dr: It's (modulo pay2win bullshit) not about the raw game mechanics, but how they're dressed up, that make things grindy or not.

barsoap ,

And just that if you keep “improving” and inflicting more damage and have higher defense, at the same time the opponents become stronger, it would have been the exact same difficulty level if the numbers just stayed the same.

There's two main aspects to this:

You want the difficulty curve for the PC to be steeper than for the player for well balanced gameplay, if it's the other way around or stays completely flat things tend to get sluggish and/or boring fast. That is, while the PC character goes from nobody to world-saving superhero legend the player only needs to have a modicum of skill increase to get an erm sense of pride and accomplishment. You can challenge player skill by giving them more to handle when it comes to controlling the PC, say that extra move a skillpoint unlocked now needs additional timing and tactics, to use it properly the player, not the PC, will have to learn that skill, too.

Then, levelling up PC power also provides a check on what regions the player can (sanely) access giving a natural way to unlock regions over time, prompting players not to run everywhere but stay in a region for a while, explore, see things, etc, without feeling boxed in by "find key to unlock door" tropes. That way you can have an open world and still write a (mostly) linear story, in principle even without having a main quest. Of course, don't auto-level enemies then. If enemies would be trivial at the PC's power level rather make them run away.

That player skill progression doesn't work if the optimal gameplay in each and every situation no matter what character you start out as, over the whole game, is to play a stealth archer, looking at you Skyrim. Meaning that it's important to triple and quadruple-check whether your design allows players to optimise the fun out of the game which they will invariably do if given the chance. That btw is why killing things in Witcher 3 gives so little XP: If you want to grind XP the most efficient way is to do side quests, those dastardly game designers really trick you into playing the game, how devious :)

Usually you should have an experience in mind and bullet-proof your mechanics to provide that experience. Or at the very least be aware of what kinds of experience can be cheesed out of mechanics that you brainstorm. Whether you discover an experience you want to convey from mechanics you come up with or you craft mechanics to elicit a particular experience: Ultimately a game isn't about the mechanics, they're a tool to direct player behaviour and with that player experience.

Tape makes a lot of sense audio-quality wise especially for people who insist on analogue for some silly reason, the prices don't make sense, though: Tapes are expensive to manufacture. CDs and vinyl are pressed whole while tapes need to be run through a machine, centimetre by centimetre. Though maybe for small runs it does make sense as you don't need a physical master.

barsoap ,

psychoacoustic models

Sometimes they mess up. Actually only ever noticed it once and that was years ago CD vs. ogg vorbis at full quality level, this track. Youtube version is even worse, it seems (from memory): The guitars kicking in around 30 seconds should be harsh and noisy as fuck like nothing you've ever heard, they're merely distorted on youtube.

Then lossy codecs are a bad idea for archival reasons as you can't recode them without incurring additive losses -- each codec has a different psychoacoustic model, each deletes different stuff. Thus, FLAC definitely has a place.

barsoap ,

Killer samples do happen, sure but vorbis at Q9? I’m highly dubious.

Back in 2004, when the album released, the encoder was barely past version 1.0. Though after 20 years I could misremember "full quality" as "whatever people said wouldn't degrade quality".

That track in particular just sounds badly recorded to begin with.

Heresy. Next thing you're going to tell me is that Sunn O))) should move the mics away from the amps so the sound is cleaner. Granted, though, Sunn O))) does that live, blackmail live is quite different because they can't layer a gazillion tracks for the mix. But yes the deliberateness of just how much noise is in those guitars doesn't get conveyed after getting mangled by ten year old youtube compression.
