The idea you mentioned of browsers allowing the header to be set on a per-site basis would be particularly good.

Another very good solution would be for servers to assign weight to the languages they support, and to combine their weights with the Accept-Language weights to choose the best language in common.

But even as they're implemented and used now, Accept-Language headers are already a way better approach than geo-ip.

EDIT: Best initial way to determine a user's language. MDN is right that overrides should be possible. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Content_ne...

I can't avoid medical insurance having my SSN because of tax reporting requirements.

For example: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/GYVwdgxgLglg9mABO...

  class Animal {
    isJaguar: boolean = false;
  }

  class Automobile {
    isJaguar: boolean = false;
  }

  function engineSound(car: Automobile) {
    return car.isJaguar ? "vroom" : "put put";
  }

  console.log(engineSound(42)); // TypeScript complains
  console.log(engineSound(new Animal())); // TypeScript does not complain

Minor bug report: the pronunciation button pronounced Spanish "adaptar" as "ajaptar".

(I don't have an answer to the overlap question; I'm squarely in Hard Fact.)

In fact, the lawsuits claim that RealPage shares "peer lists" with clients that tell them exactly who else is providing data to the company within a specific distance of their property.

This sounds like reassurance to a landlord that peers will mimic the same price moves. If true, I would call that price fixing.

I am starting a new job in April with a company that contacted me via LinkedIn in December.

No it is not bizarre. That is precisely how the BSD license is intended to work. If you want to ensure that changes fall under the original license, then you want GPL.

Isn't accessibility for a web-based MUD just a matter of adding `aria-live="polite"` as an attribute to the incoming text? Five years ago I did this on https://evolvingstory.juliablewis.com/ and it seemed to work with OSX screen reading.

I hear this here, and elsewhere I hear that PHP has evolved into a decent language. Both can't be true.

But I think it's more likely that there are techniques scammers can use to incrementally build trust, and that the rest of us would be wise to watch out for such techniques being used against us.

Quote: If it was a scam, I couldn’t see the angle. It had occurred to me that the whole story might be made up or an elaborate mistake. But no one had asked me for money or told me to buy crypto; they’d only encouraged me not to share my banking information. They hadn’t asked for my personal details; they already knew them. I hadn’t been told to click on anything.

The writer had carried on entire conversations with Krista and Calvin which lacked a scam angle. This wore the writer down to where she was more receptive to the stories being told to her. This is a warning to the rest of us to keep our guard up even after such conversations.

When I posed this theory to Saul Kassin, a psychology professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice who studies coerced confessions, he agreed. “If someone is trying to get you to be compliant, they do it incrementally, in a series of small steps that take you farther and farther from what you know to be true,” he said. “It’s not about breaking the will. They were altering the sense of reality.”

> It happens even in fairly rigid languages like Java, I can't imagine what you'd end up with Lisp.

I imagine it would be about the same, with human factors dominating. If Lisp's flexibility pushed in the direction of inconsistency, the ease with which you could write codemods for Lisp would push in the direction of consistency.

> Has there ever even been any Lisp-based company with a 20+ year old codebase where a cast of tens of thousands of developers have worked on it over the years? I can't think of any but maybe I haven't heard of it.

I haven't heard of any either. If you hear about one, LMK if they're hiring.
