Not all topics warrant certainty, but given the power of news outlets forming opinion and thereby influencing the population's behavior, I do think certain topics demand responsible reporting which doesn't report anything at all if uncertain. It's the same as a good police detective not disclosing speculations to the media because they pursue many leads but only conclude one, and you don't want a mob go lynch people. The same logic applies to news outlets forming people's opinions. That's why I think there's a need for, admittedly few, certain-report-only news agencies. That way, if you read posts on TheSun or E!Online, you get accustomed to not taking it seriously, forming doubt that this is most likely speculation. Once something gets confirmed unquestionably, it can migrate to one of the few vetted-only news outlets, if that's something they cover.

That said, our weather models are pretty good but not good enough to make certain predictions that far away into the future, but they can for the next few hours.

It's like a software company's model of code branches. The Apple/Google/whatever filesystem team works on something, it gets pushed into their level of production branch, then it percolates up to the shared production kernel branch, and after a couple more layers it hits the common branch, which is what public production binaries are made from and consists of kernel, userland, foobar modules all merged together. Not all software shops operate this way, but it's what size of a project can demand after it hits certain amount. The linux kernel works this way too, to name a successful non-commercial project. You can argue this doesn't prevent regressions, and that's true, but it's hard to deny there would be more regressions (aka false reporting) with unfiltered (aka unvetted) reporting.

I'm still waiting for the day that there's a responsible entity that only ever publishes things when they're 100% certain and is willing to bet their freedom (going to prison) on it. But given how information and influencing of opinions is a market and means control of the population, I'm afraid this won't happen with official support, and only be seen as the crazy lunatics news agency that publishes stuff a week or month later after having vetted things.

I'd like to say leave speed reporting to the Twittersphere and mandate a clear label on unvetted news reports on any network, but I doubt politics can have such influence on the media. I would love it if the news reports had a watermark that says fresh-and-unvetted just like "preliminary results" or "consult your doctor before taking".

First we have to encourage and support critical thinking, but too much of it may lead to some influencers misusing it to support causes which deny past and current crimes of humanity on itself and the planet.

The disk isn't cheaper than in retail, if you don't consider the case to be worth a lot more than is realistic.

I cannot use st because it still has corner cases that xterm works well but st doesn't yet, and I find the need to patch the sources hard to maintain when a new release comes out and has refactorings included.

But I must say that st's font rendering of Unicode is more complete than rxvt-unicode or xterm. With the same font configured in all three, st is the one that manages to render the most glyphs of plan9port's unicode sample file. Would be great to have the same in urxvt or xterm.

Strictly speaking that doesn't say it includes one, just that there's room for one. But I hope you're right. I've looked at the PDF instructions and still wasn't any wiser.

From the description on website, it appears to not bundle the computer, just the case and hdd. So, if we consider the HDD to be 60EURO max, having compared to other WD blue mobile disks (couldn't find the exact model listed anywhere), then that leaves you with 10EURO for the case. The total of 70EUROs may or may not include shipping, I couldn't figure that out without trying to place an order. It's not cheap, but that pricing isn't expensive either. If it includes a Pi 2, then it's cheap.

That's another issue, but it can also lose other data which will cause warnings but play most likely with correct color reproduction.

I don't have such a source file handy to reproduce, but if you try enough ISO MP4 containers with H246, you will hit one where this is the case.

Is `-t` different from `-to` which I've been using?

How do you deal with the fact that some video tracks do not provide the needed cross-frame data or the times you're cutting are at unfortunate points which would require a re-encoding because a quick byte copy of the existing stream doesn't work or at the very least will complain later about missing things like color info (although it's played back correctly by mpv)?

Sounds like extensions that delegate text fields to native editors should be easier to write with better ability to expose a localhost http endpoint.

How similar is this to Opera 12's built-in httpd?

1 and 2 go hand in hand in recursive functions, but 1 is useful without.

Say you have a function that should will tell you a file extension is likely to be that of a text file:

  isTxt("txt") -> true;
  isTxt("org") -> true;
  isTxt(_)     -> false.

With a more comfortable syntax, this can be expressed more concisely, but I just wanted to show that this isn't only useful for recursive functions.

If Rust is planned to get HKT, then I don't see why I cannot get pattern matching in function heads when there's also guards as found in ML languages.

I should add 3, Erlang's bit syntax, which would be a perfect and natural fit for the target of Rust code. It's a very natural DSL to parse or build (complex) bit streams. You don't necessarily have to add bit syntax comprehensions.
