A long time ago I made an alias always passes -v to git branch and this is the problem: on large repos it can take a long time to compute the "ahead X, behind Y" information. It can be fixed by aliasing to some git branch --format without %(upstream:track)

Those numbers not really useful interactively when very large, for example it doesn't help to print that one of my branches is "behind 132132". Maybe git could print "ahead 7, behind 1000+" for old stale branches stuff? This way it would limit the number of commits examined.

Pap smears and pelvic exams, however, are not checks for the potential serious side effects of birth control pills.

Ah, I could replicate it with a bunch of time and likely emulators. There wasn't anything secret about it, just good engineering with an innovation or two. The one that was the coolest was to use coroutines to kind of invert the inner loop. In the middle of the loop was a macro call that said "Get interrupt from the OS" which simply translated as a WAIT that would fire when the particular interrupt came in. We wrapped coroutine around this to properly save and restore state.

By the way, this was significantly easier than what folks have to go through with C or using that dratted asynsc/await pattern.

This particular code that used the coroutine was the outbound call processing low-level stuff. I was second fiddle on that one, and the lead was a fellow who is quoted in TAOCP. We had zero single-thread errors and one multi-thread error when we stood it up. Keep in mind that this was in the days of no debuggers other than console switches.

Ten Rules for Writing Cross Platform 'C' Code (2008)
Lots of things that are generally considered safe can have potentially serious side effects. Some of these are available over the counter. This doesn't mean they aren't really safe, it means that some folks have bad experiences.

It isn't just that it is safer than being pregnant. It is seriously better for some folks to take birth control because of the severity of their monthly cycle.

Some folks can't take tylenol. Ibuprofen can cause ulcers. Folks take heartburn pills (such as Prilosec) without being diagnosed. A body can form a dependence on certain laxatives. This doesn't mean they aren't generally safe for folks when used properly. Having some of these only available after talking to a pharmacist shouldn't shouldn't be a big deal, especially if you have to get the first dose with a prescription from the doctor.

What isn't reasonable is folks having to have an actual visit to the doctor every time a prescription runs out. It isn't reasonable to force people to have unnecessary pap screens to get birth control either - so long as your tests are normal and you aren't having other issues, there is no reason to have one every year even. Every 3 years tends to work out just fine.

This article seems to be mostly tongue-in-cheek, written to advertise her coaching services (for men). I found it annoying until the section at the end titled "So What Could We Do Instead?" Point #3 is valid, [edit: I disagree that #5 -- sex robots -- would be of any help whatsoever.]

> 3. Redistributing actual money income and wealth in a way that prioritizes human well-being. A Universal Basic Income could go a long way toward ending the domestic abuse of women and girls, and would help people to approach each other more as equals in the sexual field. This would open up more sexual opportunities to everyone.

I think this is an important point that made the article worth reading. Some young women are taken advantage of by men who've learned how to push their buttons. I have a friend who was traumatized when she let herself be intimate with males who weren't actually that interested in her...

Sometimes I find myself offering relationship advice to women. Last week I met a lady who had a neat story about how she met her husband. Her sister had dragged her to a wedding, future-husband stood up across the room, and she was 'instantly' intrigued. (This woman thought she wasn't very "intuitive", which is why I asked if she was in a relationship. She'd tried to protest that she didn't want to go to that wedding, but eventually "JUST GO!" won out.)

I gave her a rendition of "the difference between boys and girls" [0], which she found to be quite amusing. For the most part, for women finding a relationship is a matter of screening out the men they aren't interested in. Men are biologically programmed to be interested in having "marital relations" with any number of women who don't reciprocate, and it's mostly a numbers game of expressing interest until you find someone who is interested.

By the way, with regard to other comments here about diehard users, I never had more than a passing relationship with WordPerfect 5.1, but I've heard of people who stayed with it for years and years (and years). For them, it was and remained the perfect writing tool.
I don't think it is really the cheaters that degrade the experience, it is the knowledge (right or wrong) that cheaters exist that reduces trust that makes for not fun experiences.

I've played online games for many thousands of hours over the past two decades and I can count the number of times I encountered a blatant cheater on my hands. Every time it actually happened people had a good laugh about it and either hopped servers or banned the person cheating. Sure I have probably unknowingly encountered a bunch of map and wall hackers but I didn't know so it didn't degrade my experience. For all I knew those players were just better than me, plenty of those around. Having played with some extremely high level players in various games, it actually feels like the good players are using map/wallhacks more than the actual hackers because they have such good gamesense.

On the other hand, I have been accused of cheating more times than I have actually for sure encountered real cheaters. It isn't fun when a server turns sour because everyone is accusing each other of cheating and getting salty over nothing.

Of course, if cheaters are allowed to completely run rampant this isn't the case. But any game with a modicum of community power to enforce rules won't have that problem. The major places you reliably encounter cheaters are non-private servers and matchmaking services that have essentially been abandoned by the developers.

The toxicity comes from the focus on competition and the lack of repercussion when misbehaving. A guild kicks you out if your negativity annoys too many or the wrong members, whereas matchmaking has an infinite supply of teammates to abuse.

I agree with you that adding cheating to the cocktail of toxicity would probably not be significant enough to lose a large group of players. However cheating may yield a competitive advantage too large to be overlooked by the players.
How do they know you're not doing something shady if they don't actively scan...
Lets not forget the Meiji Restoration! When it started Samurai walked around the streets armed with katanas. Japan was extremely isolated and had little to no industry. No railroads, no exports.. In ~30 years they put down 11,000 KM of railroad track, built 1500 steamships, and basically upgraded from a feudal society to an industrial one. They increased their annual coal production from nearly nothing to 20~ million tons in that time.

People are diligent enough to crack Denuvo's wall-of-VMs approach for free, even though it takes 6-12 months of work to do it. How much effort do you think people will put into it when there's money on the line?

People pay enough money for cheats that cheat makers have their own pretty intense DRM set up to make sure they get paid. You're probably looking at $10/month for something entry level, going up to $50 or $100/mo for something exclusive (that will take longer to get you banned).
I think custom hardware would make sense on custom infrastructure: small 2m wide tracks dedicated to rapid electric transit pods, tucked under and along side the main roads. It would simplify the design a lot to the point where you could build it using 80s technology, simple automation, since there are no pedestrians or non-pod vehicles.

If you could build the pods on the cheap, cities would love it as an affordable alternative to subway and tunnels - it's much cheaper to dig a 4x2m concrete box under the main road then massive tunnels and stations.

In time, as the network expands, full self driving can be added and the vehicles can exit the network and drive the last miles on regular roads to the traveler's front door in the suburbs.
I thought it was fine.
It's also worth mentioning that AKS didn't have much impact on practical cryptography. The probabilistic algorithms for checking primality are (and were) much faster, and have a tolerably-low chance of failure in selecting prime numbers for crypto.

> All pharmaceutical companies - including those based in Europe - derive the lion's share of their revenue from the US market, despite the US having half the population.

Again, not true. And easily verifiable. Take Norvatis for example, one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Europe 36%, America 34%. [0]

> That's pretty obvious from the relative prices of drugs in the US versus Europe and the quantities sold, but take a look yourself if you want.

It's not obvious at all. Drug spending is a fraction of health expenditure in the US. Just because a drug is expensive it doesn't mean that money goes to the manufacturer. There's a lot of factors involved that increase the price (for profit insurance companies taking a cut as an example) and it's true in all industries.

I really kinda wonder how viable desktop Linux would be for me on this hardware.

Unless "IT professionals" means something different than "software developers", my experience is very much no: that's just not something people do, and it would certainly be viewed as unprofessional in most places I've worked.

Except you can't tell me what the spin is without polarizers. This is like telling me I have to measure the orientation of a fidget spinner with a fitness club's treadmill set to the brisk pace of an uphill jog.

None of the experiments don't use polarizing lenses to make a determination of results on both sides. This is where the experiments are fundamentally flawed and propose weak evidence.

To simply read about the fundamentals of light polarization is to understand that quantum wave function collapse is much ado about nothing, and it becomes obvious that all this contention is total bullshit, and none of it is magic.
