For build scripts, I've switched to avoiding build-time codegen and instead doing development-time code-gen, commit the results in, and have CI verify that the committed results and generator are not out of sync.

This saves me building build-script dependencies, building build-script, and running running the build-script. In addition, by default, these are built and run in the same mode (debug/release) as the target binary, making build-scripts even slower when doing release builds.

Understood: I agree with you. I'm not dismissing web browsing as if it's of secondary importance; I'm just saying it's not the only important thing. I believe you when you say it's of overriding importance to you, and all you really need to know about an OS is whether you can have a standard web browsing experience.

But that's not everyone, especially among people who might want to read about a "new" OS. I do more things with computers, for both fun and work, than use a web browser. I'm interested not only in what web browsing is like, but also what it's like to hack on a program, or configure the OS, or get a piece of hardware working, or produce digital art, or play a game, or make a game.

I'm not saying the review is wrong; I'm saying it's incomplete. I'm pointing out that a better (more complete, fairer) review would answer not just the question of what users an OS is wrong for, but also at least tries to examine who it's right for.
Color blindness in men is about 1 in 1 vs 1 in 200 for women. That's strongly correlated with the X chromosome, and has a profound impact on one of your primary senses. If you have an extra 21st chromosome, there are significant developmental problems which arise out of it.

While we are genetically very similar to chimpanzees and may share many traits, that 1% difference makes for a completely unique creatures which require completely different alien existences to thrive.

Biology is incredibly messy, we are still the product of its process, and that means sexual dimorphism. We shouldn't be quick to dismiss this, as it does harm to both women and men in living fulfilling healthy lives.

Whatever else you want to want to say about our current president, "The People" did not vote him in.

The fact that he's President really is going back to the founding fathers' intention, and why we have an Electoral College in the first place:

So that underrepresented voters would have a say in who the President was. And they did, so he is. And now he's pretending that he's the voice of our country, when he so clearly is not. The People spoke, and they requested someone else.

A reasonable person would look at his election results and create an agenda from there, but not Trump. I am hopeful that is his downfall. I'm not holding my breath about it, though.
Eh, I'm not so sure about that. If you want to censor and you don't have an ironclad mandate to go nuts, you need veneer of plausible deniability. "How are we censoring people? If we were censoring, would our first step be to censor complaints of censorship itself?"

I had to move from NYC to Oklahoma to save SimulaVR (https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula). This was over a year ago, and I'm still here. Because of this I have saved an enormous amount of money (such that I'm still able to work full time on SimulaVR while I search for VC funding elsewhere). The other co-founder of Simula is also remote (in Germany). Since this was pre-pandemic, it's been very hard to explain to VCs who are still pattern matching on previous waves of startups.

With that said, there has also been an enormous cost to this: living somewhere besides a major city. Yes, it's true that SF/NY have horrific governance, regulatory policies, taxes, and so forth (which cause high rents). The groupthink there is also unbearable. Other than these issues, however, these cities are indisputably better in every way than anywhere else in the country. People work much harder (and on cooler projects) in these cities. There's an extravagance to them that you simply can't find anywhere else, and if you're not careful, living elsewhere can eat at you subconsciously. Reading (or listening) to books of people doing great things is a good way to combat this: your brain can't ever think that things are easy now that you're living in an easy city. You're still competing against the same odds (and in some cases: the same people) who are grinding 100 hours/week back in NYC/SF.

As long as you account for this, moving elsewhere can be a great tool to save an enormous amount of money.

You may have some good points, but your level of vitriol and overall tone really detracts from them.

Perhapa shorter messages reach more targets' emotional activation potential with better propagation fidelity and much less energetic commitment per impression?

Mass media is increasingly a battle of bottlenecked channel management and rationally persuasive content simply doesn't survive this infrastructure without being ground down into smooth, bite sized harangues.

And if you are going to get massed support for an issue, emotional persuasion content suffers much less from propagation distortion because it's distorted to begin with.

This seems like a really specific request. I'm not sure what aspect you're looking for. But for starters, here's an interesting wikipedia page for governors that went outside the major parties:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_third_party_and_indepe...

Looks like the most common thing in recent times is to just use the label "independent" rather than start a new party.
Seems logical.

If the alternatives are to either build another medium orbit navigation constellation (it would be the fifth!) or to try and build something different and then trade access to that to the US for guaranteed GPS access, then that makes sense.

If they just built a GPS/Galileo/Glonass/Beidou clone then they'd have nothing of strategic interest to trade access to (and it would be horrifically expensive).

A regional solution like NavIC or QZSS would also not be of use to trade and wouldn't provide service over the whole operational footprint of the Royal Navy.

On the other hand, since the US military does not have a low earth orbit GNSS system (nobody does), it becomes tradeable for privileged GPS access. The same way that the UK can genuinely trade the US access to a small number of specialist military assets that the US either does not have or has a shortage of but cannot trade on total force capacity (since obviously the UK military is vastly smaller).

I read the article you linked to, and the only thing in it that had a whiff of “willing to give user’s data to governments” is the thing about Apple relying in China on data from a Chinese company for information about malicious sites (instead of Google which Apple relies on in the rest of the world), with speculation from a cryptographer about why that might be cause for concern. What is not mentioned in the article is that Apple addressed those concerns in a statement, showing them to be unfounded: https://www.imore.com/heres-apples-statement-safari-fraudule....

This doesn't even mention that at some point in one of the last 4 or 5 macOS/OSX releases, Apple made it so that processes started by launchd (i.e. GUI apps) no longer have stdout/stderr file descriptors that point to anywhere.

They used to "point at" the Console, which provided a handy, non-platform specific way to get debug output from a GUI app. But oh no, we can't have that. Got to use whatever the logging API flavor of the month is to get anything into the Console (that correct logging API (i.e. one that actuallyworks) has also changed over the last 4-5 releases).

This has to be a joke. Either you are so 'left-wing' that you consider Obama, Biden, etc, as 'right-wing', or you are ignoring the vast majority of the site. 'left-wing' views are not 'tolerated', they are celebrated.

How UK Gov burnt £12M in 10 weeks on failed Covid-19 tracing app
I feel like my comment is fairly explicit about it being fair to question how Reddit's banhammer has or has not come down against other communities, so I fail to see the relevance of this whataboutism. The point is that T_D has loudly and repeatedly glorified and called for violence, so if someone claims otherwise then the conversation really ought to end there. Adherence to outright falsehoods precludes one's ability to meaningfully participate in any nuanced discussion.
The Tesla Model S currently has a 400-mile range, so this would represent an incremental improvement.

Personally, I can't see driving that distance without a break (at a supercharger) somewhere in the middle, so the incremental range benefit is definitely not a game-changer.

A more important breakthrough would be in cost-per-watt-hour. If we saw much cheaper batteries with the same capacity, it would go a long way toward reducing our use of fossil fuels, both in vehicles and in electricity generation.
Wow. It's so good to eyes. Can this also be used as a background on the website? Would it be a good option?
> Quite the contrary, I’m more like to find crap like that in libertarian circles.

Libertarians with philosophical disagreements with Christians are perfectly entitled to them. "Libertarians" who murder Christians are, by definition, not actually libertarians. See also non-aggression principle etc.

Also of note, libertarians are not "left" or "right" -- see that political compass thing they're always using -- because "left" is economic restraints with social freedom while "right" is economic freedom with social restraints and libertarian is both economic and social freedom.

Christianity is quite pro-social restraint, which is adverse to both the left and libertarians, but the libertarian position is something like "you can believe whatever you want but don't pass any laws forcing it on others." Which, of course, becomes a conflict if the Christians want to pass laws forcing it on others. But ask a Democrat what they think about a law prohibiting contraception.

> Fascism is an ideology that is a direct threat to a large number of people’s livelyhoods.

There is another thread in here about how there aren't that many real communists in the US and the people who get described as such aren't literally communists. You could easily say the same thing about fascists.

Opposing fascism is very different than opposing "fascism" while defining it as anything to the right of Bill Clinton.
This seems like yet another reason for using universal contact tracing apps, assuming we can execute on the privacy aspect. What's going on with that currently? Have we just given up?
GPS tracker works via satellite and is a receiver. It is not a transmitter. Airplane mode turns off cellular services. So realtime tracking is not possible unless Airplane mode is turned off. Android can record tracker information but it has no way of transmitting it if the phone is in Airplane mode.
Ignorance was a stronger argument a few years ago, I think now it's just an optimistic take by privacy advocates.

Vast majority of people today know Google/Facebook is Big Brother and that knowledge doesn't matter to them nearly as much as some hoped.

We must have different bodies. 40 hours a week is plenty to do that for me (and I don't really work nearly enough 40 hours during the supposed 9-5). At the end of a typical workday (mostly coding), I experience quite thorough mental depletion. It is very unpleasant and makes the remaining hours of the day mostly a pointless and sucky experience, as I don't have the will to do anything (although sometimes I do recover after an evening of 3-4 hours of doing nothing and get a little energy back - however it's bedtime then).

> Here I am old school just thinking the color of a mans skin should have no more significance than the color of his eyes...

I almost certain neither group on either side agrees with that. The people on the left will argue that color is important and is deeply connected to culture and through subconscious/ institutional racism. To pretend to be blind to race or think of it like any other physical characteristic would be to just put your head in the sand and pretend the world is all lollipops and gumballs.

The right will argue that race plays a factor in physical and mental characteristics through culture and possibly genetics. And that too ignore race entirely would be to go against the stats on things like average SAT, ACT, IQ, Crime Rate, etc.

I personally think that there is truth in a lot of what they both say, and ignoring race will not solve tension or conflict in the US. Its very naive to assume that race is skin deep and can be solved by simply pretending it doesn't exist. If it was that easy we would have solved it by now.

I think it's complete nonsense, not to mention that its spirit is much better represented by older ideas (e.g. Mill's Harm Principle).

The problem is "honest disagreement and talking" isn't. One person's honest disagreement is inciting violence, and with coded signals and dogwhistles, it's not a subject that everyone will agree on. Things that are clearly on one side or there other of the line aren't in question. It's more subtle stuff that can be argued either way, eg "When the looting starts, the shooting starts", where it gets more contentious.

Pretending it's all just honest disagreement is being naive.
