It seems so to me as well. There probably are people who take it a bit too far, just as there are in most fan groups (e.g., people who get cosmetic surgery to look like anime characters, etc.), but I don't recall hearing of any rash of abuse cases involving Goreans (apologies if that's not the right term).

I'm wondering just how far this goes. I have a friend who participates in Civil War reenactments (again, apologies if I don't get the terminology right). He plays a Confederate, and spends a considerable amount of time and money getting his gear and persona as close to perfect as he possibly can. That doesn't mean he really believes in slavery, or even that the South should have won the Civil War. Quite the contrary -- I'm 100% sure that he doesn't believe those things. This is just something he does for fun.
From what little I admittedly know, 'gods' and 'demons' in Vedic traditions are more of clans than determiners of good or evil natures. In some epics gods do evil against good demons and vis versa in other works.

All I know is I wouldn't want to get involved with a similar big project these days. I guess you could just use a fake name, but that probably wouldn't hold up if you wanted to have any sort of leadership role.
Yes, because it will check for you before you run the code, and you can be certain as you can be about anything that no case was missed.
This increases their user base. Every time you install WSL & Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, you are getting a full Ubuntu distribution.

The only user base that shrinks is the Linux Kernel user base; Ubuntu and Linux are two separate concepts, and WSL demonstrates that they are in fact fully separable.

I read up on the Roma on Wikipedia after seeing the video, and apparently, they branched off during their migration into several groups. Their language branched off as well, taking on characteristics of their home countries. Wikipedia said the various dialects probably become so distinct, they likely could not understand each other. Eventually, some died out or were assimilated, which could explain your point.

I can't wait until they actually translate it to find out what it is. Maybe they should start with a Roma translator.

Gee, I had kinda hoped/expected that was the case already. Aren't iOS apps sandboxed like that? Sadly, I think many exploits involve chaining until you get to a defect in the kernel -- from which a cgroup namespace wouldn't help much.

I'm running a Thinkpad+Fedora combo and things couldn't be better. The sad reality is that software support will only be great if someone using the same hardware as you is actively participating in the distro's development.

Most manufacturers simply don't have the financial incentive to put in time and labour towards supporting Linux.
And a VM is probably not enough if the plugins you install or even just your behaviors are similar.
I'd say nothing, Wayland is used on mobile and embedded, the reason Canonical made Mir was so that the had full control/ownership of the display solution and thus could charge a license fee to proprietary vendors who wanted to use it.

Nothing inherently wrong with that, but for someone outside of Canonical it's hard to be interested in a competing solution which only exist in order to pad Canonical's bottom line.

Which was also the reaction from the rest of the Linux ecosystem.
I think the Proto-Indo-European language is at play, there.
1. I'm not arguing that it is. There are more cues than color contrast before taking into account your mental state. As said, I wouldn't mind it being configurable but I understand the reluctance to do it if it breaks XP support.

3. Yes, a perfect hierarchy of the settings would be nice, in theory. Because never mind that what is important depends on the user and context - making the whole concept extremely tricky to get right. It is a tradeoff. And I haven't seen any terminal and few other applications that I've enjoyed setting up as much as ConEmu, most settings are logically where they should be. There are, understandably considering the amount of options, a few places where it can be difficult - but to help with that there is a great search function.

4. I don't even have a tab bar anymore, takes up way too much space and I always switch between tabs using the keyboard (since I only interact with the terminal from the keyboard anyway). But I tested it now, there is about 2px of space above the tab bar but if you try to press that area you still hit the tab you intended. So if you have maximized the window there is no possible way to click above the tab bar.

ConEmu is one of the most well polished applications I use on a daily basis, it doesn't get in the way. I miss it to death every time I'm using a non-windows machine.

I disagree. This has been used as a rationale for all sorts of nasty things, like replacing American culture with a globalist culture that's going to be even worse. In any case, no matter what the news may tell you, the American people did not want this.

The politicians saw an opportunity to get more power and money and took it. When both sides of a two party system see an opportunity to increase their power across every level of government (local, state, federal) they take it and the voters don't have much say in the matter. It's one of the biggest flaws of a two party system.

AFAIK, a whole bunch of people here are missing the point: the Gorean stuff is primarily a consensual sexual fantasy, not a 24/7 philosophy. It doesn't say "this is the right way to live life for everyone", it says "we like this system for our personal lives and weekends and vacations".

Lock-in is a cost of any solution tho. Whatever solution one picks, it's going to cost time and energy and, probably at least indirectly, money to migrate to another.

Non-proprietary solutions 'shut down' too, e.g. because the unpaid developers burn out and quit.

A lot of people reasonably believe that 'free' solutions are inherently riskier, all else being equal, because (generally) no one is being compensated to maintain and support it.

It's tradeoffs all the way down!

Hey! I saw that ludicrous display last night too!
For using apps in general you need to agree with an EULA, which can be upheld, otherwise EULAs wouldn't exist.

Of course you can't sell your soul in an EULA and there's always this gray area where users might not be held accountable for selling their souls with a single click on "I agree".

But you're saying that copyright law refers to distribution, but well, you can't have that binary distributed legally unless you agreed to that EULA. And if you haven't agreed to that EULA, then by using the app it's copyright infringement.

The other problem is that most users won't be able to crack their own binaries and distributing or even downloading cracked binaries from the Internet will be copyright infringement.

Even so, lets assume that an easy to use tutorial will be provided, such that somehow users aren't violating any laws. Well, this is why the industry is pushing for DRM, which ends up getting used not only for encrypting media, but also for protecting binaries. And in some parts of the world it is already illegal to crack DRM.

And if not, I see the industry winning this argument and pushing for legislation protecting them, because truthfully they can point to people that crack binaries in order to freeload and pirate stuff for free - even if such arguments will be morally and factually wrong, they'll win by those arguments with the right lobbying power being exerted. It has been happening for some time now.

That doesn't contradict what I said. If I pay up front, the restaurant can accept/deny whatever they want. If they want to recover a debt, they have to accept legal tender.

In some of the U.S. states they do keep paper ballots, but when they did an audit and saw some significant discrepancies, they threw their hands up in the air and said that it's probably nothing nefarious - just machines being glitchy and all.

So paper ballots are nice, but it's certainly not enough. You need a system put in place so that when there's an audit and the numbers don't match, a revote is automatic, and the commission can't just excuse the issue away with "glitches." Or at the very least, you recount all the paper ballots and go with those results.

But this process needs to be guaranteed under the law somehow. You can't leave it up to the those in charge of the elections, who may happen to benefit from a result, to decide whether there should be a recount or revote. And the punishments should be drastic otherwise (we are talking about maintaining the integrity of the democracy after all - slaps on the wrist shouldn't happen punishments need to be handed).

That's something I've noticed becoming increasingly common in list articles of this kind actually - probably because it's pretty effective as you say.

The approach seems to encompass any mix of things that could be of use to people setting up either a business or a website. Which companies in particular did you have in mind? There's actually a distinct lack of explicitly finance or investment related sites, now that you mention it - the tools and techniques are almost universally related to digital/online business practice.
Instead we have BOW
I got moved across the United States by my company to a state that is close to Colorado. I have had several visits to Colorado, mostly for hiking trips, concerts, or events, but never directly to stop by and indulge in recreational marijuana. Not to say it certainly doesn't not happen. Every visit I do take advantage of it.

It has certainly been brought up in my state multiple times. Marijuana for medical purposes is perfectly fine, but the state refuses to make recreational marijuana legal because it feels it must coincide with the views of the federal government, and feel it would be too much of a hassle to deal with government.

I honestly wish they would make it legal for everyone. I can imagine how much money in taxes would be produced. My state has its own tax problems and even though they are practically begging for money, they still refused to do anything about it. Can't feel sorry for them... I mean, they'll get their taxes one way or another, but if they are struggling that bad, raising taxes really isn't going to help their cause.

Personally, I probably would never even qualify for medicinal marijuana. But it has two uses for me: it calms me down and helps me relax because I have a hyperactive imagination and brain that never stops, so at least during this time, it just takes my mind away and helps me to sleep. It also makes me super productive and focused. Both depend on the amount, but I have a very hard time focusing, even at work. It takes me at least 10-20 minutes just to get "settled" and into it.

If it weren't for my job, I'd move to Colorado in a heartbeat. When I can live in a society that does not judge me for what I do in my free time and for eating a plant (I prefer edibles over anything else), while alcohol and cigarettes can freely be enjoyed without harassment from the government and law enforcement agencies, where people have to fear for their life (not from drug dealers, but the actual United States government) and their jobs, than I know that is a place where I can live in safety.

Society is throwing people in prison who really don't belong there and it is affecting society very negatively. So not everyone is flocking to Colorado or Washington or California because of their own responsibilities, I am sure there are people who have made the move or would definitely consider it. This is all the more reason, when I see a guy with Parkinson's disease, finally able to control his disease so that he can function, even if only for an hour or two, than people who are just seeking to live a full life may find it best in states that have legalized marijuana, not saying that marijuana is the cure for everything, but at least for attempting to find a more natural treatment (rather than prescription drugs) diseases.

It's not that people chose not to believe this, it's that the whole point doesn't make sense at all when looked at in detail.

When asked to provide specific technical reasons for the existence of Mir beyond the nebulous ones stated in the article, Canonical was unable to list anything of any real value. Input was one of the things mentioned, but in the end they ended up going with the Wayland solution (libinput). The whole point of Mir's existence, that is a goal of convergence across several form factors, is also filled perfectly by Wayland. Mir provided no advantages over Wayland for that goal.

This is kind of frustrating because Canonical spent time working on a system which provided almost exactly the same thing as Wayland instead of contributing to Wayland. And that alone may not have been that bad if they had been open about it, but Mir development happened in the dark for a long time prior to announcement and when it finally was announced Canonical listed off a bunch of issues they had with Wayland which they had never even brought up with the Wayland developers.

All that would probably still be okay if at the end Mir offered something over Wayland, but that's just not the case. Even now there doesn't seem to be any technical reason for Mir to exist or have existed at all.
It's also a bad article in the sense that it proposes it as a possible thing. Sure a few of the steps he mentions may be possible, but the assumed conclusion of "and then there will no longer be any use case for cameras" is absurd.
You need to reread this thread because I am literally the only person who entertained your poorly written arguments and spoke to you like you weren't a troll. Instead of insulting me and demanding compensation you really should be thanking me for being the only person who gave your opinion the time of day.

I wasn't the one who downvoted your comments. In fact quite the opposite as I actually upvoted your OP (I felt a little sorry for you) but now I wish I hadn't bothered.

And for what it's worth, your original argument was not that Bash.exe shouldn't include the WSL. You've just subtly inched your way to that conclusion after all the other complaints you made were directly debunked. I even threw you a lifeline a few comments earlier (as referenced in my previous post) and you argued that wasn't your point, yet now -somehow- it is? Jeez....

It's completely true. If I finish my meal and don't have a credit card, the restaurant will be annoyed. I offer them cash, and they refuse the payment. I therefore leave without paying.

> I personally put that above them attending a good school, and I've read about lots of parents on HN choosing to purchase more expensive houses only because they were closer to good schools.

Peer. Group. See the thread the other day about rich kids vs. poor kids prepping for the SAT. Their peers set their norms, which determines what they'll actually do (you can tell them to do otherwise all day long—it'll barely matter). For all the talk about funding and such, the people in and related to a school—students, parents, teachers, roughly in order of importance—account for about 90% of what distinguishes a "good" school from a "bad" one. Norms set by parents at a young age (you can try to break out of your normal behavior for your class/SES to adjust your kids' experience "up", but it'll be damn difficult) and peers throughout school are THE most important factor for later outcomes. You can buy (improved probability of better) peers with money—spent on either housing or the right private school, or, failing that, carefully chosen extracurriculars and summer programs. It's kind of worse than if the problems with schools were just funding-related, actually, but that's how it is.

Agreed about the books being important, though. I was just starting a to-ebooks transition intended to replace at least 2-3 hundred of my books, then we started having kids, and I thought about what it would have been like to grow up with such a huge selection of excellent books right there in my house. Trend halted and reversed immediately, haha.
