By pumping out 20+ kids, starting as soon as they're of the legal age of the U.S. to have sex. With some rarely prosecuted cases of them forcing under age girls to start, after being put in an arranged marriage.

Then Draconian, with a capital D, disciplining and out right preventing exposure to anything else till their worldview is installed through Pavlov conditioning. I.E. install pstd levels of fear for even minor infractions of their religious views.

Doesn't matter that 15 out of the 20 flee between the early teenage years to 18 years of age. Bringing with them horror stories of beating even toddlers within an inch of their lives for simple infractions like talking when not spoken to, or saying no to their parents. I'm not talking about how people now overreact to a simple spanking. I'm talking being beaten black and blue till near broken bone levels of disciplining. Or the previously mentioned underage sex.

Their worldview and belief survive by stretching the absolute right of religious freedom of and from worship, to it's absolute limit by claiming this treatment is part of their flavor of religion. While i hate how they treat their kids and adults. Especially since they no longer 'need' to pump out 20+ kids because 15-18 will die from disease and accident, though they do have the right to choose this if they want. I am 'very' hesitant to even consider the concept of pulling the protection of that absolute right for fear of its emotionally charged and justified righteous fury against this treatment. Be it used by others to justify the removal of the right for lesser perceived infractions. Like Catholic vs Protestant, or more likely Christianity vs 'any' other religion and lack their of.

I'm doing SwiftUI app development and upgraded one of my test devices to iOS 26 beta 4 this morning.

I don't see anything different, but I assume something different is happening under the hood.

Where I live (Kamloops, BC, Canada) the all-time high temperature record for a long time was 42C, set in July 1941. Most of southern B.C. set records that month. No air conditioning. Ugh! We demolished that record when it hit 47C in June 2021. I've never been so hot in my life...

The hottest we've been so far this summer was 36C. I expect to hit the Big Four Oh at least once, but the long-term forecast isn't promising.

That there was a file system. AND A caching system with more or less the same name. Bcache and Bcachefs
The former being a way to semi speed up raid array's with a cache ssd.

No, surnames did not come from the religion, in Europe specificity it became necessary as the population boomed with the economy after the black death killed off the static social class system. Especially since families of lower classes could grow without the explicit approval of the land's nobility like the local Barron.
Before that, you were 'john of 'town's name''. Later that became 'John the 'smith'' because there were more than one John in the settlement and not all of them had the same profession. Not long after, smith just became a name and not a moniker of the person's profession they were born into.
Especially since not to long after this became necessary, the old 'everyone in your family worked in a smithy, so you can only work in one too'. Went away and the current idea of a person can choose and change what they worked as came about.

As for the Japanese side of things, any casual research from non western sources shows the opposite. The overwhelming majority of the public did not like this. They viewed it as western culture warriors 'trying' to imprint their ideals(specifically feminists) over Japanese culture and traditions. Marriages are considered a union if two families, not a separation of the children from their parents. The two partners are considered equal and in no way do the women feel 'oppressed' they can't keep their maiden name.

A hybrid is the answer for many people. They work well. Electric continues to improve but is still too much of a niche product.

I recently bought a new car. If I could lay my hands on something like a RAV4 Hybrid I'd be all over it. Good luck. I bought a VW Taos instead.

Don't worry, SystemD will copy it just like it copied the idea of svhost.exe of the pre-win10 days when it was a giant blob of minor process. And even if a minor one crashed, bluescreen. It's windows lite.

A few years ago I ported some legacy device firmware from its ancient Sun-based development environment to gcc (68k cross-compiler) and Linux. Most of the code compiled reasonably as-is. Some of it required a bit of hand-holding, like telling gcc that I really did need to store four characters one at a time rather than a single long when talking to a dual-port RAM interface.

Some of the low-level OS code did in fact require assembly. So be it.
