To be fair, that is something that definitely often happen in real life.

That aside, I find HBO or netflix series writing much better then the one in movies. The movies became too formulaic over time, relying on the same simplified character stereotypes over and over. The movie plots also tend to move in predictable streamlined ways. The film writing tend to follow stiffing rules.
There isn't international agreement on the definition of Holocaust.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/introducti...

> Holocaust, Hebrew Shoʾah (“Catastrophe”), Yiddish and Hebrew Ḥurban (“Destruction”), the systematic state-sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by NaziGermany and its collaborators during World War II. The Germans called this “the final solution to the Jewish question.” Yiddish-speaking Jews and survivors in the years immediately following their liberation called the murder of the Jews the Ḥurban, the word used to describe the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 bce and the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 ce. Shoʾah (“Catastrophe”) is the term preferred by Israelis and the French, most especially after Claude Lanzmann’s masterful 1985 motion picture documentary of that title. It is also preferred by people who speak Hebrew and by those who want to be more particular about the Jewish experience or who are uncomfortable with the religious connotations of the word Holocaust. Less universal and more particular, Shoʾah emphasizes the annihilation of the Jews, not the totality of Nazi victims.

Versus

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/introducti...

> The Holocaust was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its allies and collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community.

> During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities also targeted other groups because of their perceived racial and biological inferiority: Roma (Gypsies), people with disabilities, some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others), Soviet prisoners of war, and Black people. Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals.
Yep, the GNAT toolchain in Debian is actively maintained and they even build cross compilers for all of Debian's supported architectures. Combined with a Linux RT kernel, you can get some pretty good performance with only GPL code.

If you need to build for bare metal rather than Linux, things get a bit more complicated as GNAT requires some runtime code to setup things like systick and interrupts. You can use AdaCore's non-GPL runtime for non-commercial purposes, cortex-gnat-rts on top of FreeRTOS, or RTEMS, which natively supports Ada (though it's poorly documented).

I've also had some luck using crosstool-ng to build gcc toolchains with Ada support, but you'll still need to find or write a runtime library for bare metal.
I could imagine ads being run like a utility from a purely technological pov. I'm not sure I like that image however, nor do I think it has any chance of happening as all major companies would sabotage it.

but back to the original idea of it being a utility: Ads are imo user hostile and harmful to a society. They do work, which make them invaluable in capitalism... But they're effectively mass manipulation. I don't think we will ever be rid of them, but a world in which this is considered a utility is extremely dark imo

The filesystem integration is not without flaws though, it doesn't seem to implement full posix semantics.

Many times in WSL2 I've had a git rebase fail because it couldn't overwrite existing files, and every time it could be fixed by just running git rebase --continue. The actual problem seems to be that WSL2 system calls return before the NTFS operation completes, so quick successions of create-after-unlink or write-after-rename can have unexpected results.

For this reason I still keep a WSL1 environment, it doesn't have the same issues (and doesn't appear to be any slower for filesystem operations).

I tried this a couple years ago on a Atom tablet. If memory serves it had no tiling yet, but I liked it because it was the only working solution that would allow a tablet-like experience under Linux, all others being either buggy or incomplete (rotation not working or not consistent with mouse, etc.). I admit it was well thought, beautiful to look at and very usable, although they didn't resist the temptation to dumb down even further the config panels by removing more and more options, which is the reason I avoid Gnome in all my PCs. The only real problem is that it was slow, I mean really slow, and memory hungry. OK, in 2018 having 2GB RAM it's the users fault, although that tablet was impossible to upgrade, so I had no other choice than either reinstall Windows 10 (which was a lot more snappy) or give the tablet away, which I did.

I seem to have read somewhere that an open phone manufacturer (Librem?) is using a deeply optimized version of Gnome 3 to overcome its slugginess on less powerful hardware. Are there any chances their optimizations can be merged back so that every platform could take advantage of them?
This is fair. In this 3 vs. 3 framing, the social media companies are much easier to "convince," since it's easier to defeat algorithms than a person's mind.

I stand by what I said, though. The two types of network are not equivalent. People in the 1960s generally trusted media implicitly. Walter Kronkite has the trust of reportedly 90%(!!!) of Americans at the time. I don't think anyone trusts what they see on Facebook because it is on Facebook. Doubly so for Twitter. (Nevertheless, Facebook clearly wants this kind of trust - it deranks and adds disclaimers to posts it claims are false. Maybe this makes some people think Facebook posts are more reliable. Yet their somewhat repeated failure to mistake political opinions that dominate in the Valley for facts[1] has made me trust Facebook itself less.)

Instead, people trust or don't trust what they see filtered through critical thinking, personal experience and individual biases. If a Russian creates pages for "Americans for the Second Amendment" and "Black Lives Matter Network," people already predisposed to supporting those causes will inherently trust the claims a bit more. But very few would be convinced to change their minds based on this. Social media can be used to amplify preexisting polarization, especially given the engagement-based algorithms. (Perhaps that is the lesson we should learn from OP.) But I have yet to see any evidence that state-sanctioned "PsyOps" on social media have been terribly effective at convincing people of lies or narratives that they might not otherwise believe. I have seen gobs of evidence that the mainstream media is still effective at convincing tens of millions of people of the veracity of stories that are propaganda or close to it.

I find the app-based window navigation in vanilla GNOME 3 rather frustrating, and try as I might, I just can't get comfortable navigating between what I think of as applications.

This is because I have a few applications (Firefox, Terminal) that are really not applications in and of themselves; the applications are really Outlook, JIRA, Confluence, Slack, OpenShift (logged in as cluster admin), OpenShift (logged in as my regular user), that quick terminal session I opened to work on a script, the SSH connection to an OpenStack director, the 'oc rsh' command that I'm using to administrate a PostgreSQL database running in OpenShift, and so on.

This becomes far worse when using multiple monitors. Say I have teams hanging around on my secondary monitor to keep an eye on stuff. I literally just now alt-tabbed into a terminal and then alt-tabbed back to continue writing this comment. As a result, I'm back in Firefox on my primary monitor (as expected) but now I have an unwanted random Firefox window that I forgot was even open on top of Teams on my secondary monitor!

The only window manager I've ever been at home with while using multiple applications, workspaces and monitors has been i3. Specifically I love how it manages multiple monitors in that each has a current workspace, but workspaces are not bound to a particular monitor. So I was able to have my secondary monitor always showing my 'Slack and email' workspace, and switch between my multiple task-based workspaces on my primary monitor and never get confused like I with GNOME where I want to switch to my email tab but to get there I have to remember ahead of time that I have to switch to my first workspace, then switch applications to Firefox, then switch windows to the one with Outlook in it, and finally switch to the Outlook tab...

Anyway. This project looks awesome and I will try it out!
Not only would such a corporate death penalty never, ever get used against Boeing by the USG if such a thing were to exist, the USG would not advance such a circumstance where it could exist in the first place.

There are a number of industries and companies that will exist as long as the current USG does, at least for our lifetimes, due to decisions that were made long ago.

Examples include Lockheed, Boeing, and Microsoft.

Any solution to the problem needs to accept and address the levels of deep integration between these companies and the state.

>The fact is that today 70 years after the event, and several other genocides the amount ot attention all these other genocides that happened is miniscule compared to the attention that holocoust gets.

Most attention given to the Holocaust nowadays is by Holocaust deniers, outside of the occasional Memorial day war story. It's not as if the news media is covering Holocaust related stories on a loop non-stop instead of these other genocides.

>So there is clearly something wrong, in the whole "let's not allow genocide happen again by remebering holocaust" story.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce. Those for whom the Holocaust was in living memory are almost all dead, to their children and grandchildren, the Holocaust is a family story, essentially tribal myth, important and compelling but still only indirectly a part of their reality. For the next generation, the Holocaust is no more real than the Trojan war or scouring of the Shire.

It's impossible not to forget, and it's impossible for most people to care about something that happened almost a century ago. It doesn't help that there are constant, active efforts to undermine and deny the Holocaust alongside the inevitable dilution of the event with the passage of time.

The problem is that genocide was shocking in the 1940s, when people first saw the bodies stacked like cordwood in newsreels, and the emaciated faces of the survivors liberated from the camps which is why the Holocaust in particular has lasting and specific historical impact, but now genocide has become mundane.

Hell, the primary opinion in this thread seems to be that the Holocaust is overrated, and people are arguing about genocides like music hipsters arguing over bands. If that's not evidence of how detached people have become from the Holocaust, then I don't know what would be.
It's really not. With WSL2 the kernel runs in a VM, but user-space programs do not. As a result, CPU-bound programs suffer close to zero overhead compared to running natively on linux.

AFAIK, there's no way to achieve anything like this on macOS.

I've given you an example of something that was labelled a 'conspiracy theory' by the left that turned out to be absolutely true, and in fact even worse than suspected when the truth came out. Furthermore, it was in fact the left that was engaging in conspiracy! Apart from that it's blindingly obvious that the author is using the beliefs of a minority as a vehicle to attack the (non-wingnut) majority of the right, and to delegitimise criticism of leftism.

> library ecosystem and other factors become more important

I guess this is what OP is asking here
Even if your IDE would type your entire programs for you, you would still know the syntax of the language just because I am 100% sure you have actually read more code than you ever wrote. And do note that even in C there is not a single official loop syntax -- a while (get_next())-like thing is a perfectly valid loop in C. All of them valid answers -- I used the word "sequence" and not "C array" for a reason.

And if I start showing them an EBNF grammar for the language, now that's TWO languages that you will show you don't remember rather than one. I find this even more absurd; you don't remember anything of the syntax of the language you used at work for years, but you think you can rediscover it from the FORMAL language specification in a whiteboard?

Some hypothesis I’ve read believe that because the upper middle has grown so much and is so visible, middle class people don’t feel as middle class.

More people have moved up than down. However as the nation has become more wealthy a greater share of the wealth has gone to upper middle than below them.

I think there’s so many dynamics at play here and it isn’t 100% cut and dry. For instance, there are more single parent (or single person) homes. Divorce isn’t socially unacceptable anymore and young people are waiting longer to get married. Do people lose the efficiencies of 2 earners in a household and possibly the class bump?

I’m not an expert on this but the data does show growth in the middle class by growing the upper-middle and a shrinking poverty class.
No it is not; there is no legislation in place that shifts the burden onto technology. The technology is assistive, and the driver is the end responsible.

Would you blame an airplane's autopilot if it crashes? We still have two pilots even though 99% of the time the thing is on autopilot.

She's a test driver, she did not pay attention, and she killed someone. At best, her employer should help and compensate her, given how it was a workplace, on-the-clock accident.

Its a reverse job board in other words. The people in tech have usernames so they can be on the look out for their perfect job anonymously.

> do many republicans hold the view that killing 346 people in the first year of service is acceptable business practice?

First you very carefully selected what to quote. You cut out this part:

> A statement from ranking member Sam Graves of Missouri says, "if aviation and safety experts determine that areas in the FAA's processes for certifying aircraft and equipment can be improved, then Congress will act."

Which makes it clear they mostly disagree about what the investigation results say about FAA, not Boeing business.

Then you suggest the republicans not being ok with the investigation findings means they are ok with killing people. They do not agree with WHY and HOW these people got killed, obviously not disagree that this should have not happened.

How you can misrepresent the other side so badly and still be so self righteous is beyond me.
yes it does, it's called confirmation bias. Not that I endorse their claim as well.
> If the driver committed homicide, it sure sounds like Uber is also guilty of homicide.

No; an automatic emergency braking system is not required by law. A capable, attentive driver on the other hand is. Working brakes are as well, but it's eventually up to the driver to engage them.
They do. That's why the OP mentioned rotations and redundancy. Uber could easily put two people in the vehicle and have them swap seats every 20-30 minutes. The person in the driver seat would be responsible for watching the road and reacting while the person in the passenger seat supervises.
If we assume this is technically sound and so on, is there a political dimension that will be considered before merging this?
