This US healthcare meme is tiring and uninformed. A small minority have financial hardships due to medical emergencies here, and they for the most part aren’t poor, who get healthcare for free.

To be frank I suspect that the answer is because that isn't their goal any more than a congressional fact finding session is to find facts - but to grandstand angrily about sour grapes.
It is impossible to think of anything at all in the world, or indeed even beyond it, that could be taken to be good without limitation, except a good will.

The problem with iOS for these solutions is that iOS is a designed experience and you're always swimming upstream when you deviate from the path.

The Microsoft stuff tries to live in both worlds, but the ecosystem around the "modern" side is weak.

Everyone is struggling with this stuff, as witnessed by the schitzoid steps to evolve MacOS and Windows.
That's awesome, dig right in! And don't hesitate to reach out on our slack: slack.textile.io. We're under active development, so if there's something missing, or a feature that's lacking in documentation (there are, but we're working on it!) let us know.
I'm not really using wsl in anger (work laptop runs Linux, with a win 10 vm in virtualbox for the occasional nearly windows program; mostly the odd proprietary vpn; Citrix and occasionally rdp - although remmina on Ubuntu 18.04 mostly works fine) - but I've toyed with the idea of testing smb/cifs and nfs both ways - to see if it isn't good enough for a git checkout the size of the Linux kernel (Ditto a build/compile of same - although I'd normally mount a ramdisk for that, if I really wanted to speed things along).

Both windows and Linux should be fine with home on cifs.
I use hCaptcha on multiple sites and honestly, it does the job well. To those who claim it hurts business, yes it adds an extra step to the verification process but it also keeps you and the rest of my visitors safe.

> At least you are being honest you know nothing to the issue, as most engineers at Amazon.

It is, indeed, a common fallacy that technologists think that everything can be solved with a technical solution. The challenges here are much more systemic. From my privileged position I cannot truly understand all of the challenges faced by people who work warehouse jobs. Just doing their job for a few days in an education program is not a true simulation of their existence. You have to listen, and be emphatic, and try your best to help. And recognize when you're not going to engineer a solution to all of the problems of the world. For me, personally, it weighs on me.
Maybe this could be used as a self deployable emergency shelter here on Earth? It's pretty neat that you don't have to install anything or put it together on-site. I'm sure that feature would be useful for other places than the Moon.
MoltenVK is not a Khronos product. It's a product of Brenwill Workshop that is one of the many member companies under Khronos. It moved the code under Khronos github. There is quite a few community / other companies contributions. But it's still just a library out there.
> Every binary executable on a Linux system can be deleted and replaced while the running program is unaffected.

Delete and replace is different than edit in place. I don't know about Linux, but you can edit a binary on FreeBSD which is running, and it affects running copies (it's all memory mapped from the file), and that's why i use install instead of cp to update binaries (including shared libraries)
When will the EU just accept that this is a browser setting, not a mandate on websites? It's been a browser setting since the '90s.

And what do they mean the user has "no choice"? What… don't they have a choice about? They have as much choice as I have in a store. I have the choice of paying for the thing and getting it, or not paying and not getting it. Why is it mandated that the "get the thing without paying for it" MUST be a choice?
Permaculture.

First paragraph from wikipedia article:

> Permaculture is a set of design principles centered on whole systems thinking, simulating, or directly utilizing the patterns and resilient features observed in natural ecosystems. It uses these principles in a growing number of fields from regenerative agriculture, rewilding, and community resilience.
Maybe you work in a sane company. I work in a company where every freaking VP, SVP, EVP, P and various C wants something different and battles between themselves; all the while we are trying to develop the last thing anyone said, right up until it all changes. We spent 18 months on a single project in which change accelerated over time, every single feature changed in radical ways, and then in the last 3-4 months they insisted that since we hadn't shipped anything we would need to work extra hard on the latest set of things or there would be hell to pay. And then when we got it done anyway cancelled the whole project on the day before the CEO announcement–so they could start on yet another one of these that someone had convinced them was better. Sigh.
Ah, this really makes sense with all of the recent work they've done on VSCode's remote development capabilities.

Great, I didn't know that! Truly a renaissance man.

That said, he was also an experienced diplomat, military commander and politician, so the comparison to Jerry Seinfeld is a bit off (unless there is also things about Seinfelds career I don't know about). He wasn't just a comedy writer who out of left field wrote a treatise on government.

Note that your example of a famine brings up 'shortage' before any mention of prices. There are multiple ideas of shortage at play.
At the most basic level shortage can mean that there is not enough of a good/service for everyone to have it at any price (food in a famine, medicine in a pandemic).
Typically we apply shortage to situations where the supply and demand curves reach some hard stop at the edges (elasticity goes to 0).
In the case of normal market dynamics where supply and demand are both reasonably elastic then there really are no shortages per say - just cheapskates.
It's gotten better, in that you now have wifi and can detach the keyboard. Pen and ink is still bad. Do not recommend running Linux.
We don't live in reality, or even "see" it directly.

The reality that we live in is firstly based on perception of actual physical reality, and then also experienced/conceptualized via a proxy, which is a model of our perceived reality (and all the objects, people, and ideas within it), all implemented by a sophisticated biological neural network of sorts.

An example of how you can test this theory is to observe conversations on forums, where you will find plentiful (and ultra-confident) examples of supernatural acts like mind reading, future predicting, knowing things that are not knowable, etc.

Even more interestingly, these "beliefs" seem to be entrenched extremely deeply in the human psyche, and almost "protected" in some way, by some sort of process. Merely pointing out the obvious fact (the existence of this phenomenon) is highly unpopular. But even further, most people seem to be literally unable to even ponder the phenomenon, particularly in real-time. Abstract discussion seems much easier for most people, but rare is the person who can consistently walk the talk - personally, I only have one friend who can do it, across multiple domains (cross-domain capability is a key differentiator that separates those who can from those who cannot).

Some things seem unnecessarily unintuitive to me about the shortcuts. For instance, using 4 in-line keys for navigating a 2D space seems like a wasted opportunity. Every video game ever came to the conclusion that the inverse-T layout is ideal for this task.
The page sort of underplays the importance of these artifacts. Bark notes are one of the few primary sources for study and reconstruction of the language of that time—as in, what little is known, we greatly owe to these notes. Meanwhile, afaik there are like a handful or two of places where notes were found, and the total number of notes is on the order of a thousand-and-something, often in ruinous state: if the letters are even discerned, still cracks in the notes sometimes interfere with the scratches of the writing. Children's learning notes are uniquely helpful because they lay out some of linguistic features right there: e.g. the alphabet. (It's possible that Onfim's are the only such notes—dunno for sure but I remember Zaliznyak saying they were a pleasant surprise.)

Novgorod Republic was a Slavic state of its own, and IIRC the Novgorod dialect was one of the main dialects of Old East Slavic, informing the later differences between northern and southern dialects.
I was looking at the Surface Book 3 specs and it hit me that the value proposition for discrete graphics has changed significantly if you want to game on your laptop.

Since Stadia, Geforce Now and other cloud gaming services have launched, I suddenly have no interest in paying hundreds extra for a gaming capable laptop, just to make a compromise on weight, battery life or GPU power. I've been gaming on the cloud services for the past few months, and as long as you're within a few hundred miles of a cloud rendering location, you're going to get a far better mobile gaming experience on a thin, light and cheap laptop than you would on mobile graphics.

I've been enjoying fast-paced platformers, online shooters and action-RPGs on a 5 year old laptop and wouldn't want to downgrade to mobile graphics. This actually shocks me that my hardware preferences could have changed so rapidly. I would have been salivating over the gaming specs of the surface book 6 months ago.
> I understand using these apps is more of a necessity if you have kids and larger number of people at home

I have 2 small kids. From my perspective, it actually makes less sense to use an app for delivery because having kids often implies also having a car (in north america, anyways). So driving down to the restaurant for pickup costs considerably less than using the delivery option.

I'll still use the app though for the same reason Uber originally became popular: there's no need to call or talk to anyone, and there's no need to fumble with physical currency for payment; you just tap a few buttons, drive to the store, pick up your food and go.

I’d bet there’s some kind of evolutionary reason baked into us that actually does “require” updates to sources of information like websites, as a signal of vitality and upkeep, currency and cultural acceptability. Whether Java the product actually fulfills those qualities is for another thread.

Just a reminder that enabling Hyper-V (needed for WSL2) will make your computer boot your current Windows install inside a VM too. This might makes a slight performance impact.

That doesn't sound right. Hyper-V is a Type-1 hypervisor, so by definition the Windows installation would not be running in its own VM (for some definition of VM).

And its pretty much exactly the same for Qemu/KVM on Linux, where Intel VT-x or AMD SVM hardware extensions are used to implement Type-1 virtualisation.

Interestingly, it seems that Microsoft hast just renamed its "Visual Studio Online" (which was basically the same as this new product) to "Visual Studio Codespaces". So it seems that they are merging these two products. (See: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/visual-studio-co...)

Oh yeah, someone will technically "win" a full exchange, I'm sure. The brass may see high survival rates. But the infrastructure will be bombed away. It will take decades to rebuild. One can't even compare to anything before and extrapolate. There have been local disasters and rebuilding, but we have never seen a complete national system bombed away and what will come after.

(A variant of a worst case I haven't even considered before is a full nuclear Armageddon, and then Command and Control survives to take nuclear potshots for years afterwards. For instance if one party has still substantial conventional forces but the other manages to from time to time scrounge up another nuke and launch it.)

I could see them have more ICBMs than apparent, but successful SDI I don't think is possible, not against nuclear strike submarines in any case.
Life is a paradox.

The ultimate point is that there is no point. If you want something, the best way to get it is to not want it. You have to try to relax.

Humans can handle cognitive dissonance, things don't have to be logical for us to believe. We can believe two things that can't both be true at the same time. If we didn't we'd die.

Somehow life requires the ability to believe conflicting things... so in order to even begin perceiving reality, you have to be incapable of pure logic.
I don't see that happening. Train cars are incredibly simple things that have barely changed in many decades, probably because it's hard to introduce changes when all the cars need to be compatible with one another. Train cars don't even have electrical hook-ups, just air brake lines.

There's also nothing wrong with a man who rides a horse to the point of injury calling in a large-animal veterinarian to treat it, a vet whose services are paid by someone else.

But there is some question as to whether the availability of treatment allows the man to ride the horses harder, with less regard for their welfare, than would otherwise be possible.

Metaphorically, the vet should refuse to treat injuries brought on by recklessness or cruelty, unless the person responsible pays.

Unwinding the metaphor, Wal-Mart should be forced to pay the cost of entitlement programs to the extent that its employment practices make administering those programs to its workers more necessary. There are many ways that goal may be approached.

It's not "theft" by any definition of the word, but when the situation is described to the modal individual, they are likely to say "they're stealing from the welfare system!"

The Dichotomy of Control

A concept I discovered when reading about stoicism. Focus on the things that you can control and disregard what is outside of your control. Sounds simple and obvious, until you apply it to everyday life and realize that most things you worry about are not under your control - other people's actions, opinions, politics, most external circumstances, really. What you can control however is how you react to those circumstances - your thoughts, actions and words, for example.
Can you point to some source/material that elaborate on this ? Would like to read more about it.
Iterated Prisoners' Dilemma
This shows exactly what i mean (and i did note that Qt is at least better than Gtk here).

An application written in 1995 against the Qt1 API will not work on Qt5 because both the API and the ABI has been broken. A user who wants to run such an application (not necessarily released in 1995, Qt1 was in use into the very early 2000s, even though Qt2 was already out) is not able to do so. A developer who wants to modify such an application has to become familiar with both Qt1 and Qt5.

In contrast an application written in 1995 that uses Win32 will run out of the box in Windows 10 without any changes. A user can run such an application perfectly fine (and personally i have several applications like that that i'm using) and a developer who wants to work with the code will be able to focus on the application itself (since chances are he already learned Win32 at the past if he worked in any other Win32 program). As an example, some time ago Microsoft released the source code of File Manager which dates back to ~1990 - i was able to navigate that code easily and added the ability to filter a window's contents using multiple wildcards.

(note that in both cases i am assuming the applications do not do anything stupid that happened to work at the time but doesn't work nowadays)

An application may not even be maintained any more. Or it may be maintained but the user(s) might dislike the changes (e.g. i like Paint Shop Pro 7, released in 2000, but i never liked the UI overhaul that PSP8 got and nowadays after Corel bought the software they have severely... well... gimped it :-P - similarly i do not like the changes introduced in Blender 2.8 so i stick with 2.79 and i know a very talented artist who still uses Photoshop 5 - not CS5, plain 5).

Those few days are also very optimistic and really depend a lot on the software in question. AFAIK Lazarus, for example, took ages to update form Qt4 to Qt5 (same story, but much worse due to all the breakage Gtk introduced, with Gtk3 which still isn't really usable). And as i wrote above, most of the time, they are a waste of time. Adding support for touch screens and hidpi (not sure what you have in mind with permission requesting, so i ignore that) doesn't require breaking your API nor your ABI.

EDIT: BTW, it isn't impossible to have Windows-like backwards compatibility on Linux, here is a screenshot[0] from a toolkit i used to work on at the past showing the same binary working in both 32bit Red Hat from 1997 and 64bit Debian from 2017 - essentially 20 years of backwards binary compatibility (the colors are off because i didn't bother to implement indexed color support). It is just that the toolkit maintainers do not care, but it is perfectly possible to do that if you care.

Totally agree. I occasionally work on family member's Windows PCs and hate it every time. Everything is huge, I can't tell what is supposed to be an actionable element and what isn't, and its just subjectively ugly.

Information density took a huge hit in the later Windows versions and I find it incredibly frustrating to use. The first thing I always have to do is figure out how to open the old version of control panel so I can actually accomplish something.

Glad to know I'm not alone in these thoughts, thought maybe I was just being stubborn in adopting the new style.
