If Visual Studio ran on Linux, would anybody bother with gdb? Currently, the second-highest voted UserVoice issue for Visual Studio is people asking for a Linux version (and rather hilariously not understanding what a colossal rewrite that would entail...)

> I've been trying to explain to people for years now that reduction in unemployment does not mean people are getting good jobs, it just means people are getting a job that employs them "full-time" with or without benefits, livable salary, etc.

I’d like to amend that unemployment numbers that are widely reported are simply people employed (not full time). It includes part time, people who work in one industry but have expertise in a different industry(see retail).

All I’m saying is it’s good to keep that in mind when reading these unemployment numbers.
I’m having trouble squaring the claims in this editorial with the following fact from the Personal Spending data;

> Personal saving was $1.03 trillion in March, and the personal saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income, was 6.5 percent.

That seems incredibly robust considering negative personal savings rates of the past.

Increased personal spending is the best sign we have that consumers are not struggling. Up is down?

This might seem counter intuitive, but think about things like this.

The cost of everything is going up; so many propose raising the minimum wage to compensate. This will provide some additional money to those beneath the minimum wage. However the price of literally everything will grow to consume that additional wage. In essence what raising that wage does is to devalue the dollar, meaning anyone not seeing a wage increase is actually being paid less relatively.

The only winners in raising such a wage are those that seek rent from others. The land owners, the business owners, the 1% and maybe even just the 1% within the 1%.

The actual solution, the way to increase the QUALITY of life, not the numbers on balance sheets, is to increase the size of the market. Remove arbitrary numeric limitations on workers entering a field (E.G. the monopoly on doctor training slots). Consolidate red tape and ensure that if predictable pre-conditions are met housing projects are approved. Also use actual civic planning, zoning, and land-value taxation to encourage high quality, higher density, and strong community development. Probably making more condos and making it easier to buy and sell housing.

This is a very cynical way to look at Google's business. I agree that their business model is based on connecting (mostly relevant) ads from the advertisers to the users with the help of user data but I do find some of those ads pretty useful. Let me just give you one example: I had almost missed the due date for the smog check on my car and at the last moment I searched on Google with query "smog check nearby" and I found the top Ad with the nearest to me and with the cheapest rate for the smog check service. I had a really good and pleasant experience as well. So That's Google for me: It helps me when I need it the most.

There's a lot more to a system than the CPU.

For the Raspberry Pi, someone bothered to port EDK2 and write ACPI tables: https://github.com/andreiw/RaspberryPiPkg

And Microsoft themselves were interested in the Pi (for IoT Core), so they even have some support for weird Broadcom hardware in the NT kernel.

If someone writes ACPI tables for Allwinner SoCs, it will work :)

> more closed than RPi due to the AllWinner SOCs they use

Allwinner has the most community support out of all SoCs there are. It is reverse engineered of course, but it's really good. To the point of someone writing a FOSS driver for the video decoder: https://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-cedrus — the RPi still only has blobs for video acceleration. The GPU situation is a bit reversed: VC4 is well established and maintained by Broadcom, while Panfrost and Lima are still pretty young.

It would be very incorrect to suggest that anything is more closed than the old garbage SoC that's in the RPi. It starts booting from the GPU (!) and it has a custom Broadcom exclusive interrupt controller instead of ARM GIC (!!). The author of the open GPU side firmware for the Pi literally suggested Allwinner (sunxi) as a better alternative:

But Rockchip of course a much better company because they themselves work with upstream Linux.
At least here in BC, I believe it is code to include a fresh air vent with any central HVAC. Our house has one (built in 1992). Of course, if the house is tightly sealed and you don't have an exhaust fan running, it won't suck in much outside air.

Since the climate is moderate where we live, what's been suggested to me is to just run the recirculate fan often/always, and to use bathroom exhaust fans to control fresh air turnover. (As built our bathroom fans are hooked up to a central humidity sensor, and will turn on when house humidity reaches a set level (as well as being able to turn them on in the bathrooms). I'm actually curious whether something exists, or I could rig something up, to turn them on based on CO2 levels as well.

Plus the comment 4 levels up had "C02" rather than "CO2".

<rant>

I searched for why people do this 1337-substitution [1], and apparently the justification's that "C02" can be quicker to type on some mobile keyboards since "0" is a single press while "O" requires hitting Shift too.

But in chemistry, we'd often write chemical formulae in linear format. For example, "H2O" is water while "C6H12O6" refers to some simple sugars. The basic rule is that digits after any letters are in a subscript position, while digits before any letters are a scalar multiplicand.

So, when I see "C02", I immediately parse it to "{C}_{02}" rather than "{C0}_{2}". This reduces to "{C}_{2}", which obviously doesn't make sense, so then I have to figure out what's going on. Obviously it's not too tough to figure out from context that "CO2" was meant, but since I have to infer that from context rather than from direct parsing, it comes off as an obnoxious typo. For example, if someone wrote "C2O", I could figure out what they meant from context too, but it's still annoying to have to be like, "What?".

Then I don't even know why it exists. I mean, who talks about CO2 so much more than other chemical species to memorize a 1337-alteration that saves them having to hit a Shift key? It seems like a rather niche micro-optimization that certainly can't be worthwhile to too many typists, even if we ignore the obnoxiousness it imposes on readers.

Which, tl;dr, my point's just that "C02" might be a cute 1337 substitution if you don't usually read a lot of chemical formulae, but if you do, it invokes a parsing error that you either have to consciously resolve or else memorize a new slang term to avoid.

First "Outline" is just superb. Unique, interesting and simple at the same time.
Absolutely: internal gear hubs are the only gears you can use with belts. They just tend to be substantially more expensive for the same amount of gears as a comparative derailleur. Internal gears also tend to have a higher friction than derailleur gears - the really good ones such as a Rohloff speedhub cost > 1000 EUR. Even a comparatively mundane Alfine 11 gear costs ~ 400-500 EUR. A pinion gear isn’t exactly cheap either.

In return you get a mostly maintenance free setup. It’s great, but I probably wouldn’t opt for it for a city commuter bike.

"Don't ask don't tell" wasn't an attempt at censorship. In fact, when it was introduced by the Clinton administration it was hailed by LGBT groups because it allowed gay people to serve in the military.

People have forgotten the context in which Don't Ask Don't Tell was created. Today people assume it was some evil, presumably Republican, plan to keep gay people down. It was seen as quite the opposite when it first started. But since many people don't remember, weren't born, or don't bother doing research into their politics, they think of DADT as the opposite of what it was.

I'd like to note that the article makes no claim regarding whether the tax cut saved households money. Rather, we now have the numbers that show a huge swing towards households owing taxes at the end of the year. That says nothing about the tax charged them, and everything about their withholding.
For me the main advantages of a bus over driving my own car were:

a) you can read or watch movies

b) I walked for 5 minutes each day to get to and from stops

c) It was relaxing on a bus (driving is frustrating in busy traffic).

The benefits only worked when the bus route was convenient between home and work. At my new place the bus takes a very indirect route (slow) and requires a change (I hate time at bus interchange, I don't mind time spent on bus if it is not too much more than driving).

I did notice I still required a car: when my car was off the road for a while I became less social (too much hassle to visit friends without a car).

That is a valid reason, but I suspect the extra delay of 2x your ping when you click on a link and wait for it's target to load is fairly negligible for most people.

> 2) making it more difficult to discern phishing emails from legitimate ones

You shouldn't be relying on link text to discern phishing emails, that is what the client checking SPF records and the user checking the contents of the url bar are for.

> I also find it difficult to believe that all of this analytics is actually doing much to inform me about things I care about.

Why is that? I would think it is pretty obvious how A/B testing click-through rates for emails could easily help make those emails more informative and easier to use.

If the speed cost and privacy loss is not worth it to you, having the actual (non-tracked) URL available in the link text atleast gives users the option to opt out of that tracking.
You can configure your terminal to send ^? instead of ^H (and use `stty erase '^?'` to configure your tty), but AFAIK there's no difference in the terminal between holding control while hitting backspace and not holding control (whether you have it set up to send the ^H or ^?), because of how keys map to ascii codes (see [0]).

Your terminal either sends ^H (0x08) or ^? (0x3f) (or really anything else you desire, if you can set up your terminal that way) when you hit backspace. control plus either of those keys would mean subtracting 0x40 from them, which is either negative or wraps around for both of them, so it's nonsensical.

Whereas, the GUI interprets the keyboard completely differently and allows you to express keys like "control + backspace". This is the main reason I prefer using gui versions of Emacs.

This is false.

Raising the minimum wage only affects a small % of employers. In industries that pay minimum wage (retail), labour is often a small % of overall expenses.

The impact of bringing a few people out of poverty is fairly minimal.

Also, many expenses are completely independent from minimum wages. Housing is a great example. It's price is determined by access to credit, and macroeconomic trends that have nothing to do with how much a Starbucks barista gets paid. Medical costs are another great one. Nobody in the healthcare industry gets paid minimum wage.
