Rolling Stone has significantly larger worldwide circulation than all of those magazines (in some cases by an order of magnitude or more). In addition, some of the magazines you listed no longer exist, whereas Rolling Stone still does. E.g. NME ended its print publication in 2018 and Melody Maker ceased entirely in 2000.

You got any other examples of magazines you think are bigger/more relevant than Rolling Stone? Because none of these fit the bill.
If you buy the theory that Microsoft now loves opensource and Linux, I want to ask you why they don't provide full support for things like 'Wine'. May be even develop something like that themselves, that will allow people run Windows programs flawlessly on Linux. (I mean, if they only mostly care about Azure)

Also, they have acquired Github, and they are slowly pushing towards the entire development/discussion to be moved to Github (In the guise of making it easier for people to contribute to Linux), from the current method of using the Emails for discussions and submitting patches.

When you consider everything, and don't just go by localized observations, you might get a better picture of the old EEE in the new bottle.
I come from a very rural world, and I have to say you seem insecure about our common way of life. We are a minority of modern life, and our cars should become the exception due to their size, not the norm. Urban areas have access to deliveries up the wazoo, and their cars should become smaller and electric, to afford us the carbon footprint of our big cars.
'Cancel culture' isn't force, it's culture. That's why they call it 'cancel culture', and not 'cancel force.' Funny, it turns out a lot of people would rather not do business with racists, misogynists, homophobes, neo-Nazis, and assorted religious bigots, whodathunkit.

Someone from the government showing up with a gun and telling me I can't marry a consenting adult of my choice is a much better example of the use of force.

But you knew that. [1]

> If mathematics is just something we dream up from within our own heads, why should it “fit” so well with what we observe in nature?

I like to think of mathematics as the formalization of human intuition. Insofar as that intuition has been shaped by our observations of the physical world, we should not be surprised that many of our mathematical models seem to describe aspects of natural phenomena.
Youtube itself changed the space bar behavior from context specific (pause if player in focus, scroll of comment in focus) but they rolled that back so space is always pause.

I like the context sensitive behavior and wrote a grease mo key script to restore it.

Keydowns have the physical button analogue: when you press a physical button, it immediately closes the contact, it doesn't wait until you lift your finger again.

Not saying key down is better than key up, there are certainly arguments for both.

WSL1 was a reimplementation of Linux system calls and offered most of what modern tools needed. WSL2 is a complete Linux kernel/distro running in a Hyper-V virtual machine.

Cygwin is no longer needed when you have real Linux.

I would argue against this comment... it is very useful to actually learn the culture and the techniques. Not that the general advice here is in poor taste, just saying that simple concepts won't help you fully understand something that is inherently complex.
You clearly aren't an emacs user. Remapping the control and alt key will make it very difficult to use. Same goes for a few other "TUI" applications like it.
I assume in the modern day of git and code review on commit diffs, its harder to slip things in than it was in the 90's.
Cryptocurrency is considered a capital asset, so there are 2 taxes that apply to a cryptocurrency transaction:
(1) normal income taxes, to the person receiving the crypto, and (2) capital gain taxes (or losses) to the person sending the crypto, because capital taxes apply to capital assets when they are disposed.

The nature of the transaction is irrelevant to (2).
>> They didn't lose the cloud to Linux -- that makes no sense.

What I meant by "they lost the cloud to Linux" is that most server computers running in the cloud are not running Windows, they are running Linux.

>> Linux accounts for more than half the servers on Azure and I'm sure Microsoft is perfectly ok with that.

Azure is doing great as a cloud service, but the fact that more than half of the servers are not running Windows only underscores the change in strategy due to the loss of market share and dominance.

Microsoft executives in the 90's would not have been okay it. In their view, all computers must run Windows and any other operating systems were competitors.

>> A second ago, you were arguing that Microsoft is going to make Linux obsolete and you now seem to be arguing the opposite.

I am not sure how you got this from my comments. I was only speculating the Microsoft's attitude change was out of necessity rather than benevolence.

>> I'm not sure how that is relevant or how either one of us could know the minds of the top executives at Microsoft.

They were pretty vocal about their views on Windows and Linux at the time. Take these Steve Ballmer quotes for example:

"When we tell the story about what's happening today with browsers ten years from now, I want the thing that replaces Windows to be Windows."

"Linux is not in the public domain. Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches. That's the way that the license works."

"I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod"

"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance."

"Let's face it, the Internet was designed for the PC. The Internet is not designed for the iPhone. That's why they've got 75,000 applications — they're all trying to make the Internet look decent on the iPhone."

"Whatever device you use... Windows will be there. … Windows will be everywhere on every device without compromise."

"We are in the Windows era — we were, we are, and we always will be."
The base ISA is very plain and RISCy. But I'd encourage you to go read the Bitmanip extension and find an opcode in there that doesn't have at least one obscure alternate use! =)

As for addressing modes, yeah I do wish we had a little bit more as a software person (but not as a hobby/toy cpu writer!). The current stuff can encode a surprising number of simple loops efficiently if you do it right, but of course if you come from x86 you'll have to do more with less...
Orthography is orthogonal to a language, as transliteration proves. Putonghua is Putonghua regardless of whether it's written in Sinitic characters, Yale Romanization, or Pinyin. Also, don't run down someone else's hobbies. It's uncouth.
New Study Positing an Inelastic Markets Hypothesis
The market is widely regarded as the best way to find exactly these solutions (right tool for the job).

Your thesis is that people are throwing away on the order of $30-$50k every 8 years or so, in order to do something inefficiently and unsafely.

If that were true, these golf cart vehicles would sell like mad. As it is, “subcompacts” have failed to sell in the US.

I posit that there is very significant utility in larger vehicles that your personal experience is simply failing to account for. Humbly consider that for millions of Americans they decide to spend their hard earned money on a large vehicle because in fact it provides massive utility to them and their family.

Besides, our transportation system is a modern marvel, and the safest way to achieve mobility per mile ever in human history. So to call it incredibly inefficient and unsafe is not merely hyperbolic it’s just untrue.

I suspect we can and will continue to make transportation safer per mile into the future. I see no evidence whatsoever that miniaturizing vehicles is the way to do that, certainly not without outlawing or somehow segregating the bigger ones, which is neither practical nor economically or socially viable.
WSL1 is an emulation of Linux system calls to allow running Linux tools and software in a special sandbox. It was fast, lightweight and worked well enough to run modern apps but had limited functionality.

WSL2 is a Hyper-V virtual machine that runs actual Linux kernel/distros with some special integrations to allow accessing the filesystem, terminal, docker, and now the GUI.

It's no different than running a Linux VM yourself, but it's installed with a few clicks from the Windows Store and has much better tooling. It's fantastic for building software for Linux while being on Windows. MS has already spent 5 years making the cross-platform .NET Core framework which now runs more on Linux than anywhere else, even in Azure. If you want to build on Linux itself then just boot into Linux, but this is great for Windows becoming a central platform for development, regardless of the final destination for the work.
It'll be almost impossible to get traction against a service that is already serving the community well, as with Stack Overflow. There are many gripes about Stack Overflow (which is common with success), however it still actually does its job well. To beat them you have to be drastically better (as it is they have to become a lot worse, or it'll require a technology inflection that they miss).

You're entirely correct about the only way to approach it, bowling pin wise. You have to narrow and find something you can own, something you can beat them at in a big way and grow out of that niche. Otherwise something broad like this risks languishing with small amounts of activity across many topics and not enough answers or questions per to really get momentum rolling to sustain it all.
I liked math in high school and usually saw the underlying meaning of the concepts. Teachers generally aren't idiots (or at least mine weren't), they try to explain it best they can, and start with that explanation. I remember explaining the meaning to friends that had only tried to memorize the rules without bothering to consider what they meant. They were surprised to learn these meaningful explanations, but in fact I was just repeating what the teacher had told us. I think the difference is I came into the class knowing what I should, while they had gaps in their prior teaching that they had to compensate for with memorization. So I was ready to hear the motivation at the start, but others weren't ready yet until they had memorized the concepts as a kind of crutch.

What you want is methodology like "just in time learning" or "problem based learning", which is very powerful but also very slow. You have to greatly reduce the content you can cover in a class. It's good for some students, boring for the smart ones (who solve your fancy word problems instantly), and the worst ones don't pay attention or do homework either way.
> there is no API exposing them.

If there's no API exposing them but there's a way to make use of the internals with a dirty assign then sounds like the internals are now part of the API.

Mines - some caves survived for 200+ million years. Conceivably a part of a mine somewhere could survive, with concrete structural reinforcements and parts of non-corroding tools intact
Of course, the whole platonist/realist/phenomenologist (sometimes characterized as the 'discovered' vs 'invented' argument) is hardly new, nor likely to be resolved (if that were even possible). I certainly recall an enormous amount of cheap on-campus beer being spent exploring the issue when I was an undergrad 4 decades ago.

I did find a couple of things quite refreshing in the article, though: (1) Wigner's essay is delightful and I'm glad it's seeing a wider audience. We should be reminded of it every time this conversation comes up, if only for its last paragraph. (2) The reference to the fact that Galileo proved that falling objects accelerate at the same rate, not by some experimental demonstration, but wholly within his mind---and it's a proof that any middle-schooler has no difficulty completely understanding. As a reminder that mathematics isn't symbols and rules, but a way of looking at problems (Eugenia Cheng's book, How to Bake Pi, is an excellent look at this way of thinking and approaching the world.). (3) It managed not to get bogged down in the whole pointless and hypocritical "what is math good for" instrumentality debate, that these sorts of questions tend to devolve into.

And how exactly are Microsoft going to force you - particularly you, personally - to stop running your own Linux kernel?

That is interesting and ground water levels are already pretty low in India. Many cities are suffering from water shortages. We were only told about the problems from an engineering stand point.

@devxpy
Absolutely. I remember listening to a podcast on technological advancement in Israel and it was fascinating. When the nation was still in its infancy the whole land was nothing but a desert. Israeli scientists found out ways to irrigate the land and turned it into what it is today. India lacks behind in semiconductor fabrication. However, India is one of the top five countries when it comes space exploration.
Tin was actually very hard to find. Which is a huge problem for civilizations that wanted to be a part of the Bronze age. Most of the tin used in Europe and western Asia was mined from just a few places in England, France, and Spain. if you find an Assyrian weapon from the 12th century BC in northern Iraq, it shouldn't surprise you if you find it was forged with tin mined in Cornwall.

Congress could easily delegate additional discretion to the IRS, they just haven't yet as they have been unprepared for this outcome.

Congress has considered this matter already, and they have chosen not to treat cryptocurrency as a domestic currency by refusing to consider bills that would classify cryptocurrency as a domestic currency.

Non-domestic currency (i.e., foreign currency) is treated as an asset under US tax law, and as a currency not issued by the US government, cryptocurrency is a non-domestic currency and is thus subject to the same tax treatment.

All of that other stuff you said is irrelevant.

I have problems with time travel.

#1 How do I manage my space/time emergence point vs. my starting point... What about the vector my kinetic presence is upon ... If I manage to emerge upon the correct side of the planet, not inside a wall... am I moving in the appropriate direction, considering revolutionary, planetary, solar, galactic, etc.vectors..? OK a computer can figure that out... even if it is possible to pass the kinetic vector forward? (OK that kills a lot of old SF films...)

#2 isn't the universe expanding? If I take matter from now & shove it into the past/future, will it react at all with atoms from the other age? If that matter is me & my heart is beating, will the size of the oxygen atoms of that time be recognized by my red corpuscles... Wow 2-5 minutes viewing the future/past before my conscious brain melts... That's an E-ticket for sure. I think figuring out a way to extend/strengthen telomeres might be a safer way of traveling into the future.

Yes, keeping these thoughts in mind can really mess with the enjoyment of some SF movies.

I generally think of “cancellation” referring to punishing someone for an unpopular opinion.

In this case, if the emails The NY Times really exist, there was a conspiracy to commit a long series of crimes to harass critics of EBay.

If you receive enough valuable content in exchange for that menial task, you report it on your income tax return and pay taxes on it.

The worst offender of this is Streamlabs. When I go to the homepage (even if I've already logged in on the same browser), I see this: https://streamlabs.com/

In order to go to my actual dashboard, I have to click on "Login" > "Login with Twitch" and finally arrive at the dashboard which features prominent banners to upsell you on their premium offerings.

And if you accidentally click "Download" because that's the biggest button on the screen then you'll automatically download the application so make sure you're ready to go to your downloads list and cancel that.

I just gave up and started using a combination of OBS (open source) and StreamElements.
Not necessarily just due to depletion - could be just better technology (eq. some massive robotics deployment, gassification & atomic sorting, etc.) that makes it a no-brainer to process all regular waste & the old ones when you are at it.
