stow --target=$HOME vim
...

Elegant, cross-platform, easy to remember.

Never tried it, but I love the concept. Saw some video, and it's amazing for what it is.
This is exactly what the trump phenomenon is all about, and all the hmming and hawing about it is just vain searching for substance were there's none. All power, no judgement. Make 'em squirm and fuck the consequences.

"Since power over human beings is shown in making them do what they would rather not do, the man who is actuated by love of power is more apt to inflict pain than to permit pleasure. If you ask your boss for leave of absence from the office on some legitimate occasion, his love of power will derive more satisfaction from a refusal than from a consent. If you require a building permit, the petty official concerned will obviously get more pleasure from saying «No» than from saying «Yes». It is this sort of thing which makes the love of power such a dangerous motive."

There used to be a PC game genre called Real-Time-Strategy (RTS). Former famous game series were Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, War Craft, Empire Earth (and some more). The genre was very popular in 1997-2005. Sadly casual Free2Play Facebook games, mobile touch and console gamepad destroyed the genre. Today no Triple-A game worth mentioning gets released in the RTS genre.

RTS is very useful and you can learn a lot.

Taking Stock: Estimating Vulnerability Rediscovery
Spotify is the one service I'm happy to pay for. Their weekly mixes keep blowing my mind because it's such a great way to discover new music tailored to my taste.
Plus, Spotify connect is a genius way to play music on loudspeakers. It works incredibly well with my Bose speakers.
My impression is that they will continue to innovate in all kinds of areas so I think they have a good chance of winning.
I needed to write this because just yesterday I thought how happy I am with Spotify. In case it sounds too fanboy-ish.
They can do that, but my observation is that they will loose to some who says: "I know this is better choice and the other choice is shitty". The latter is more likely to be promoted and will be assumed to be more competent - means his opinions will be taken more seriously and will get more interesting tasks.
Wow.... Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
> It only increases diversion to the black market by directly increasing demand. My own grandparents have had to buy pain pills in the past.

Yes. I know people with chronic illnesses (of many types) who've had to resort to various black markets for opioids, all this stupid "diversion control" and trying to shit-test patients in the ED to see if they're "drug-seekers" actually has a deep and nasty cost.

Of course someone who presents to the ED with a physical condition that causes immense pain is, inherently, going to be a "drug seeker". So now people need to be all "tsundere" about that (i-it's not like i WANTED you to prescribe me opioids, or anything, BAKA!), and pretend that they don't know what drug/dosage works for them (apparently, it's only opium-seeky people who know anything technical about opioids) even if they're well-versed about what works for them and their medical condition. It's a very nasty and adversarial state of affairs, that screws over everyone.

The DEA (and other flavours of doorkickers) targeting doctors and deputising them as law-enforcement agents who have to decide between the evil undeserving addicts and the deserving patients in pain is what has created this affair. Blame the prohibitionists, as this is a problem of their own making -- the crackdowns on "pill mills" and "overprescribing doctors" is what denies people a safe and legal source of pharmaceutical-grade opioids and forces them onto the black market of illegal, overpriced, and fentanyl-contaminated opioids (which leads, of course, to the deaths that are used to justify even more crackdowns).

Crackdowns on "over-prescribing" invariably lead to people who experience chronic pain being denied medical access (or being subjected to extremely invasive and degrading treatment to weed out "drug seekers"). The DEA cracking skulls over opioids and investigating doctors is literally the only reason illicit fentanyl (and its even more dangerous analogues like carfentanil) even is a thing. I am so very doubtful that more door-kicking and prosecutions will miraculously work after decades of it making shit worse.

Not necessarily. It might be possible and even desirable to slow some aspects of it down, but not wind the clock in reverse.

> But I'd at least like to see some people in the cities say 'we honestly don't care about rural people and they need to adapt'.

It's not a matter of not caring about rural people (or urban people who have been surviving off industries that are on the way out, or that once survived off industries that are gone that they wish would come back); caring about the people demands dealing with them honestly and doing the things that can mitigate harms to them from the transition, not trying to pretend that the world is going to rewind to some past state for them.

A interesting property of Japanese is that a sentence is also a subordinate clause. For example

Tarou wa Noriko wo toshokan de mimashita. (Tarou saw Noriko at the library.)

Tarou wa Noriko wo mimashita. (Tarou saw Noriko.)

Tarou wa Noriko wo mimashita toshokan (The library where Tarou saw Noriko)

Generally "<sentence> <noun>" means "the <noun> such that <noun> <particle> <sentence> is true for some choice of <particle>".

> It was always my assumption that grammar is the most important thing to learn about a language

I think it depends on what your goals are. If you just want to communicate, vocabulary is the most important thing to get started, since even with poor grammar people can infer what you mean (gestures help too!). I've seen too many people here in Japan who have crammed English grammar all their school years but are paralyzed when trying to communicate because they're just focused on getting the grammar right.
> blue state folks often declare their pet issues to be secret constitutional rights hidden in the auras and penumbra's

My legal philosophy skews hard right, so I'm no big fan of penumbras. But LGBT rights are a straightforward, textual application of the 14th amendment:

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

It's there as clear as day: you don't get to single out particular people for special treatment under the law. The legal weaseling needed to avoid the plain text ("well the government is not denying anyone the right to marry someone of the opposite gender, even if they are gay") is right up there with reading the Second Amendment only to apply to militias.

It's also where textualists and originalists have to part ways. The framers of the 14th amendment almost certainly didn't intend to preclude state laws that single out gays, women, etc. But that's irrelevant--they used unquestionably broad language and the text on the page is the only thing that matters. Particularly here, where there is no argument that the words would have meant something different to the framers (which is different from saying that the reading is different than what the framers intended).
Recognising the usefulness of something is not the same thing as greed.

Some hardware makers do not like to play nice with Linux.

If you want a system that 'just works' with Linux you should buy from a vendor that supports Linux like System76.

I just wanted to say that the diagram of the transformation from RGB to the different color models is absolutely beautiful as well as informative. When I have a free day or two I am going to have to put together an animation for it where you can track a given color through the process. My favorite class in university was about color models, all the way from CIE 1931 to the various transformations on it to match human perception and driven by anatomical insights about the human eye. It's fascinating!
Remember those English diagramming classes everyone hated? I'm not very familiar with the education system in Japan, but I doubt they have diagramming classes. In Japanese, the diagramming is built into the language. You tag the subject, the direct object, the indirect object, etc. Everything gets markup.

Which part of the sentence is the direct object? Uh... the part with the direct object tag hanging off it? Correct!

Have you ever heard a programming language described as "designed for teaching"? Japanese is a language designed to be as simple as possible to learn.

Coming from English, the idea that a natural language could actually be designed was a shock to me. I thought they just evolved sloppily and haphazardly. Well, Japanese is proof that it doesn't have to be that way. Clear rules and not too many of them. No exceptions. Rigidly consistent. It's like a language created in a lab that never got dirtied up by real world usage. Except, oh wait, it's a real language used by millions of people every day.
Oh cool. I'm in Koenji.

If you would like more of this kind of thing, I highly recommend Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese Grammar. It's a lot like OP's article, but much more thorough, organized by topic, and provides auxillary resources so you can dig in as much as you please.
Importantly Wikipedia doesn't strive to be "true" or "accurate", rather it strives to be well-sourced and verifiable. That would understandably be a difficult concept to grasp for an outlet that simply fabricates what it wishes the truth to be.
Nearly 7 years, and that was a looong time coming.
Yes leaders who manipulate and say half truth are more successful. That does not make them more ethical - they are as unethical as I would be if I lied (for example about worked hours on timesheet or about status of the project).
Your third example isn't valid. It needs a bit of tweak.

Tarou ga Noriko wo mita toshokan

The particle "ga" and "wa" both introduce a topic. But in a phrase to explain a noun, we use "ga" exclusively. Your main point still holds, in a sense that "Tarou ga Noriko wo mita" is a valid sentence. But to be precise, "mita" in those two sentences are different conjugated forms; it just happens that two conjugated forms are the same in the verb "miru" (to see).

Email me if you want and I'll give you a summary of some of that along with controversies that aren't settled yet.

In the American legal system it can be as simple as the company has lawyers on payroll and you don't. They can afford financially (perhaps not from a PR standpoint) to sue you and you'd have to settle likely just on the basis of legal expenses.

To be honest, I don't mind a plug or two about relevant Microsoft products within the OS. However, tracking usage and serving customized ads at the OS layer is unpleasant.

I sort of disagree with this and think one should extend in the opposite direction- to keep sharp, have an RNN generate some plausible config options / shell commands, and append them to the bottom of your vimrc / bashrc on startup. This results in sort of like a 'chaos monkey' of coding, to prepare you for when real emergencies pop up.
> Bandcamp offer that too.

Bandcamp is an online music store, not a music discovery service.

> Nothing from the above requires DRM.

Correct, however there's nothing currently out there that compares to spotify which is my original argument.

What you described as "the benefits of DRM-free media.", I've described as "the current inconvenience of DRM-free media.".

Maybe in the future there will be a DRM free service that has the same features as Spotify, if that's the case I'll sign up, but until then the limitations of DRM free streaming are obvious, I'm just trying to point them out to you.
Beginner question: In casual, spoken Japanese, I've been taught that I can drop the particles (including pronouns). Hence "watashi wa tabemasu" can be colloquially shortened to "tabemasu".

Thanks to this article, I've come to understand particles much better and why they're important, but does it change in casual spoken Japanese? Are some particles okay to drop whereas others are kept? Thanks in advance.
> The limit per month for making money, like getting a side job to try to get back to work, is $20, which has not changed since medicaid was started in 1969.

No, it's not; income limits are set by states, vary by population, and for populations that are covered at all tend to be much greater than $20/mo. The Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA also resultted in substantial changes in many states.

I think the root cause of nearly every American societal issue is our education system.

The foundation of a healthy democracy is an educated electorate. Yet, as a nation, we refuse to acknowledge or invest in public schools as a foundational insistution... We still see them as a cross between daycare and basic workforce preparation.

The public school systems need to be responsible for growing the next generation of American citizens. I find it absurd that most fresh high school graduates wouldn't be able to pass our citizenship test, much less understand principles like personal finance or critical/rational thinking.

Without those core mental frameworks, many people end up trapped by their own inability to rationally analyze their situation and plan for the future.

Drug addiction, crippling debt, suicide, high unemployment, the rise of demagogues, these are all symptoms of a populace that is ill equipped to deal with the modern world.

Unfortunately, education is also one of the hardest things to repair in a crumbling democracy... a large investment in non-voters that takes over a decade to yield dividend is a hard sell. The worse things get, the more we focus on the short term, leading voters towards snake oil politicians that further down the nation.
> While they cite that the popular vote strongly favored Hilary, they forget why the electoral college was created. To help rural America from being completely ignored while the cities with denser populations sway the votes towards their issues.

Do you have evidence for this? It doesn't make much sense to me as the population of even rural states is still largely concentrated in cities but I'm not sure how recent a development this is.

Acts of charity like this have always struck me as creating an uncomfortable power dynamic. When sticking around to hear a religious presentation is the price of admission, it's not a pure form of generosity; it's transactional. Ron Powers even mentions the captive audience situation outright, near the end of the video.

"If you have something like their clothes, you've got them for an hour, two hours ... we might as well have a conversation."

I don't really see a need to glorify this in the local news. He's just a man who has found a way to buy time to proselytize. To me, the fact that he exists is a symptom that our existing social safety nets are insufficient to set folks up with clean clothes, let alone get them into housing.

Taxes to fund direct cash transfers and housing subsidies do not make for heartwarming stories. They are boring as hell, but they get the job done with no strings attached, and that's the best outcome we as a society could wish for.
