"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

The erasure of knowledge is a troubling occupation

It seems like a miscalculation on TSMC's part to expect to be treated the same in the world's largest economy as back at home.

Another miscalculation: undervaluing the ability to speak the same language.

Any organization except the U.N. should have a single working language and require everyone to use it exclusively.

Hell, I even think that English proficiency should be a prerequisite for immigration to the U.S., or at least for citizenship.

"actually it is better if women lead this study at this current time"

This is such an indictment of our society.

I still believe that the proper response to women's mistreatment in the past and present is to stop mistreating women, not to start mistreating men.

Constraining men from discussing things of interest and value to them, basically because they're not women and don't have the societal "indulgence" of being female, is sexism and should be opposed.

Maybe that's the wrong read of the situation, I'd appreciate being steered aright, but that seems like the situation to me right now.

My understanding is that that's correct. I'm on fully upgraded stable (Debian 12) and my xz is 5.4.2 and liblzma as well.

Am I crazy thinking libraries shouldn't be able to provide _other libraries'_ symbols without the other libraries' "permission"? What am I missing?

Rust specifically chose a minimal standard library to not get stuck with the Python "dead batteries" problem. There's a strong culture as well of minimizing a project's dependencies in Rust.

If it were using Cargo as its build system, it might make such manipulations more obvious / understandable?

Is it time to deprecate the ability for code to implement linker symbols in other libraries? Shouldn't there be a strict namespace separation between binaries/libraries? liblzma being to implement openssh symbols seems like a symptom of a much larger problem.
