The interest in this thread tells me there are a lot of people who are not cool with the CUDA monopoly.

Is the goal here to reach a minimum subset of basic Android UI functionality? I don't see any push to try and replicate a MD3 feature-set here for example.

This was unfairly flagged.

Because there was a real shortage of Linux distros

> We know that there are some extraordinary attitudes at work within the PSF. A PSF Board member once openly expressed the opinion that Anglo cultures always seem to be the ones that take the moral lead around the world, leaving others to follow their example. From any non-western perspective, this is an astounding idea to receive.

> That’s not a solitary episode. We understand that (notwithstanding the PSF’s ambition to support Python in Africa) a PSF Director has consistently spoken out against funding for African events, over a period of years.

Okay we need names.

We've (workers, non-CRE owners) collectively known this all along. What I don't understand is how the green/net-zero lobby is relatively quiet about fewer people using transport to go to work. It makes far more sense for WFH to have been the default long before the covid lockdowns, frankly I'm sad that that's what it took to get us here. It shows how much hypocrisy there is about all the climate efforts if those same people aren't clamoring for WFH

Number of economic migrants? They're not really recorded that way afaik. But let me know what you're looking for, and I'll see if I can find it somehow.

This is a red herring, they could easily control the economic migration, which has very little to do with intl human rights, they just choose to ignore it because business always pushes the "labour shortages" because they want to lower labour costs as much as possible.

Was that the recent Black mirror episode with Salma Hayek? That one was fantastic

E: no it wasn't, I was thinking of "Joan is Awful"

false equivalence

"It is straightforwardly illegal to decompile source code, recompile it, and the distribute the recompiled binary."

According to what? If the rules are so poorly defined that way then maybe it's not a bad thing to disregard them. Because simply decompiling source code and then recompiling it isn't a simple one-step thing in the way you suggest, not even close.

While there's a thread on F#, I'd like to complain about how I attempted to create/publish a F# dotnet app in entirely using the terminal (i.e. without the bloat of Visual Studio) and it doesn't seem to be supported, which was unfortunate.

  dotnet new webapp -lang F# -o MyFSharpWebApp -f net8.0

was the command I used. This was in Windows 10. I'll probably attempt it again in WSL2 when I have time, though I'm not expecting better results.

Close to 60% of the market gain this year is the Big Tech 7 (this kind of top-heavy weighting tends to foreshadow bad economic events). The yield curve is still inverted at historic levels. There is something fundamentally very wrong in the US and global economy and it may not have manifested fully yet but it will. We're bullish for now but for how long.

The time bomb began ticking around the time people started getting broadband connections and work-from-home/video-calling became viable (so around 2007). The surprising thing is the cultural shift took 15 years to play out, and needed an actual global pandemic to really push it through even then, and even then there is a massive effort to put the genie back in the bottle. Turns out office buildings are just another form of technology that has been superseded by something that just works better, deal with it banks.

I'm not interpreting the verse, I'm telling you what's there, just read the verse, go through all the various translations. No interpretation necessary. Like I said, Arabic is adequately expressive to just say "fasting is about reminding you poor people are suffering" if that's what the purpose was. No need to equivocate. Even the commentary is secondary to what the verse actually clearly says. If a verse says "God is One", do we really need a commentary to point out where there could be room for 2 Gods?

> Genuine question: How is this different from saying "it's not bad to be gay, it's just bad to not repress your feelings and never act on them", as is a common (paraphrased) refrain among those who are anti-lgbt

I'll admit it's probably not hugely different though to my understanding Islam's purpose is more about guiding a person to have a relationship with God rather than being anti-anything, and about doing what is within one's ability to move towards that goal. Like I said in a different reply it's not like you are being singled out for hatred or anything like that, the purpose is for everyone to get themselves right with God.

(in reply to the post you just sent) I can't actually reply to comments that far down, I guess that's a HN quirk I didn't notice all this time until just now but yeah I also just covered that in a reply to someone else https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35657964

To clarify, a blank state in your relationship with God. Like, you aren't judged for being a certain sexual way until you actually act on it (or choose to not act on it).

Islam pretty much is a framework for how you deal with God and for how your life here and hereafter will be according to that relationship. That's all it is.

You also acknowledge that even straight people have constraints in Islam, i.e. no sleeping around etc, why not also argue that it's somehow terrible that straight people have to repress their desire to fornicate?

"You're invited to participate in our faith so long as you turn your focus away from your base desires and towards God and the hereafter"

You're insinuating that you're being targeted or singled out whereas Islam "blanket-bans" entire categories of what are considered regressive behaviours such as overeating, you're not being targeted here, so can you stop with the victim complex please? Islam is as against environmental destruction, abuse of animals or overeating as much as it is against what it sees as wrongful sexual desire. What I feel like is being missed for the trees here is that the "holisticness" of Islam. It's against what it sees as destructive behavior, without prejudicing or singling out any specific group. Look at the higher purpose here.

No I didn't say that at all, and that's a petulant response honestly. Re-read my comment. I said Islam instructs people to make their feelings subordinate to them rather than the other way around. The other replies to the GP were not so different from what I'm saying. You're hardly required to state your sexual orientation each time you pray, if that's the sort of line of reasoning you're taking here.

That sounds like you're coming at this from a similar standpoint to one of the other major religions which I would rather not mention as I don't want to start a religious war here.

In Islam you're not hated or judged for what you call your true feelings. You are however instructed to gain mastery over those feelings and make them subordinate to you rather than the other way around. Fasting is one of the things that can help with that. As for feeling invited, honestly I get why you may think that (because a lot of Muslims do a frankly terrible job of marketing) but that's not how Islam looks at people, it doesn't look at people as unchanging monoliths, instead you are seen as a blank slate and whatever actions you do impact your life here and the life hereafter. Basically your inner reality is between you and God. Islam fully understands people have all sorts of desires, lusts, etc, the thing is in Islam you aren't cursed for having those desires, but for acting upon them rather than gaining control over them. HTH.

I'm not a religious scholar either, but if we're discussing what Islam says is the purpose of fasting, then yeah it couldn't be clearer in that verse. If you want to derive a sense of compassion for all beings from the idea of God-consciousness/piety/taqwa, then yeah you may have a point that it is a secondary effect of fasting, but Arabic has adequate expressiveness to cater for that if that was the prime motive, so I disagree that that is the central reason for fasting.

Hate to be that guy, but that's not at all what Islam says about why fasting was prescribed, and it's actually super clear about the purpose. I mean this is pretty basic, so I don't know why I keep hearing that same old line.

"O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may develop God-consciousness." https://quran.com/2/183

Ah, so simple recognition of reality about national energy needs is prevailing over teenage Swedish ESG shills.
