More to the point, if the police or whoever shoot someone in self defence, that someone is "killed". If I, or the police shoot someone for fun, it's "murder". In both cases the victim is "killed"

True, self defense isn't called murder. But if the government drone strikes an American citizen without a trial or anything, that's "extrajudicial killing", not murder.

Murder is a universal concept. There are also varying criminal laws that are called murder, but just because these exist, one must not be thrown off track: the moral, pre-legal concept of an act known as murder remains unaffected.

'Extrajudicial killing' is just an apologetic euphemism. An indirect term, since murder is usually considered to be a bad thing.

Very sad news to hear. People of his caliber are sorely needed in the community. My condolences to everyone close to fefe.

Fefe is a different person

Yes, I mistyped, Freudian slip. And I can't edit or delete anymore. I'm terribly sorry.

Came here to ask the same question / conclusion.

It was thin to find out the differences between the two.

Though, FeFe also suffered some health issues lately, IIRC?

Yeah, he had a stroke. Not many updates, unfortunately.

Aside from feeling sad that he had a stroke, I've been wondering how the infrastructure for his blog keeled over so fast.

The blog is fine, it just looks like he didn't foresee that there would be a month where wouldn't post anything, so the navigation links break down. If you go to the last month he posted in, everything works as usual: http://blog.fefe.de/?mon=202505

There was actually a one-time post in December as well http://blog.fefe.de/?mon=202512

Oh, just yesterday it failed to load at all!

I think the server works, but the ssl cert timed out.

Fefe doesn't capitalise the 2nd F in his name btw.

Toning down aggressive phrasing is not "doing a 180", calling the change from "only losers left at GitHub" to "the engineering excellence has left" lying seems disingenuous.

I was responding to the general sentiment of:

> I often find we don't appreciate enough people accepting their failures and changing their mind. For some reason I see the opposite: people respecting those who "stick to their guns" or double down when something is clearly wrong.

Not this specific situation.

Also, most people are aware that "Europe" the continent is unlikely to make such decisions, so it's pretty obvious what's meant by context.

It's not obvious at all actually, since there are many European things that also affect Island, Norway and Switzerland for being part of EFTA, but an equally high number of things that don't.

And even the EU itself is pretty fragmented with various overlapping areas with different rules.

As someone who's studied European relations, I can tell you that it's a real mess, and the fact that journalists don't accurately reporting the facts definitely isn't helpful.

There are others ways to coordinates european countries than EU institutions

Feels like the "demonstrated it's no longer necessary to solve sudokus" statement may have been a joke :)

Unfortunately no Linux, Windows or even HTML targets?

Wonderful little tool! Something similar has been swirling aronud my head for a while. Thank you for sharing, it looks very useful.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! I hope it's useful to you.

I get the impression that someone doesn't like Java and used chat gpt to create a one-to-one typescript port.

I dislike Java as much as the next guy, but I believe the true value of tools (and this tool in particular) is in the embedded wisdom and experience of their creators/Terrence Parr. Just generating a functionally equivalent port doesn't add much value.

That said, that's just a first impression, I have no idea what motivated this fork

I was tasked with auditing third party scripts at a client a couple of years ago, the marketing people where unable to explain wtf tag manager does concretely without resorting to ‚it tracks campaign engagement´ mumbo jumbo, but were adamant they they can’t live without it.

Considering they handle and transport a lot of money, it's safe to assume they don't meet to make back of the envelope estimations concerning weight and volume.

Yeah by "rough calculation" what I mean is that since the Fed knows the ratio of volume to bills, they might have intentionally made the box too big.
