But what did you learn? What are we supposed to learn? Did you get any context, like how he actually went to anger management therapy later?

Or is this just guffawing and gawping at an old angry email from a tech celebrity?

This mail is 13 years old, and doesn’t seem relevant for anything? This post seems like a lazy attempt at shit-stirring.

Part of the answer here is also integrated design. To be able to be repaired a thing has to be designed for that, and to have identifiable parts that can be adjusted or replaced in isolation, and non-destructive disassembly.

If you have to destroy one part to adjust another, it’s not really repairable. If several functions/components are all one thing then you can’t really replace just the one.

To use a bike as an example, you can exchange wires, brake pads, seats and most other things in isolation, especially the things that are expected to wear out and need replacement. But you’re not going to replace part of your bar tape or frame, because they’re essentially one whole thing.

(Ok, you could probably weld a steel frame if you really wanted to, but I think the intent is readable.)

Sun films have been available commercially for a long while. Choose how much sunlight you want reflected (generally more in bedrooms that you generally want dark and cool, less in rooms where you want a view), and either get a professional to apply or do it yourself—it just takes a bit of soap water and effort.

Generally better to have the sun rejection happen on the outside of the window, so as little as possible energy gets absorbed.

Oliven, Norwegian. For some reason it’s an uncountable noun.

Må innrømme at jeg ikke er kjent med uttrykket. Er det en dansk eufemisme for tysk?

Yeah, the left generally considers it a “fighting day” similar to March 8th. The right does gardening (to make it visible that they’re not marching). Others do whatever they feel like; not uncommon to spend the day hung over.

Kokoro.

Also have vague plans to reread Der Zauberberg

Likely also will reread V. and the Count of Monte Christo at some point.

Yeah, let’s have a go with the ACI (anti-coercion instrument) and see if we can’t make their patents free game. Playing to Trump’s tune is unlikely to work out well

Yes I’m being sarcastic, but I also think utf-8 is plaintext these days. I really can’t spell my name in US ASCII. Like the other commenter here went into more detail on, it has its history, but isn’t suited for today’s international computer users.

It’s also some surprise internal representation as utf-16; that’s at least still in the realm of Unicode. Would also expect there’s utf-32 still floating around somewhere, but I couldn’t tell you where.

And is mysql still doing that thing with utf8 as a noob trap and utf8_for_real_we_mean_it_this_time_honest or whatever they called it as normal utf8?

Yes, I am joking. We probably could do something like the old iso-646 or whatever it was that swapped letters depending on locale (or equivalent), but it’s not something we want to return to.

It’s also not something we’re entirely free of: Even though it’s mostly gone, apparently Bulgarian locales do something interesting with Cyrillic characters. cf https://tonsky.me/blog/unicode/

To unjerk, as it were, it was a thing. So on old systems they’d do stuff like represent æøå with the same code points as {|}. Curly brace languages must have looked pretty weird back then:)

No, I’m pretty sure the weird o with the leg is in basic ASCII. It’s also missing Latin characters like Æ. It’s a very weird standard.

Q. P is a common character across languages. But Q is mostly unused, at least outside the romance languages who appear to spell K that way. But that can be solved by letting the characters have the same code point, and rendering it as K in most regions, and Q in France. I can’t imagine any problems arising from that. :)

I’m not entirely sure here, but you are aware you’re in a humour community, yeah?
