Originally you could run with NFS as your only storage, even swapping on NFS. If the server rebooted the clients would get stuck but resume once it came back up. This requires some hard to deliver guarantees from the server.
I don't know much about the direction Windows is heading (I have not used Windows since early 2000s), but if there ever was a good time to do it, it would be now that Apple is slowly killing macOS and turning macs into giant phones.

If Windows had UNIX kernel and POSIX with custom UI, it would be a viable platform to switch to.
It's curious that of the many actual genocides that have been well-documented since WWII, you happen to pick these two examples that aren't genocides. It seems like most genocides just don't get enough publicity.

Just taking another opportunity to mention the Ninth Amendment:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

One of the early arguments about whether the Bill of Rights should exist was that special-casing some rights would narrow the scope of "rights that exist" to just those explicitly listed; the compromise was the Ninth Amendment.
What Snowden has shown us is that we shouldn't have phones or other internet-connected devices at all if we deeply care about privacy and security.

The psychological predilection for belief in conspiracy theories is depressing. It's depressing because to me it feels like the other side of the coin for religious devotees. It seems to be seated in a deep need for a higher purpose and meaning.

When I was a kid I found all the talk of UFOs interesting. I had a fascination with space (and still do) and wanted to believe in that future.

What changed is in more recent years I inadvertently approached the problem from the other direction. By that I mean you look at what mankind's future is likely to be like which can be extrapolated to the future other other spacefaring civilizations and the implications of that on the Fermi Paradox.

It's a deep topic but basically the obvious energy future is to use all the Sun's energy output (rather than <1 billionth) and it's essentially just an engineering problem (albeit a massive one) to collect and use that power. And that future is a Dyson swarm. And those aren't the least bit subtle.

There are two parts I like about this:

1. It is based on the current understanding of physics. No magic tech or negative mass is required. If FTL is possible (and I include wormholes under FTL) or if breaking thermodynamics is possible we should be seeing a ton more not less of these things; and

2. The beauty of a lot of thought experiments with the Fermi Paradox is we don't need to decide what civilizations will do on average. Instead, if any one civilization doesn't fit that mold the whole argument falls apart. The more civilizations there are the less likely that counterargument becomes.

So with regards to UFOs, there are two common explanations among devotees:

1. Aliens and alien technology; or

2. Advanced technology governments are hiding.

In a world where the speed of light is a universal speed limit, (1) just becomes preposterous. The idea that someone would spend thousands of years getting here, hiding their presence and cooperating with governments just defies logic.

As for advanced technology... in 1947? Really? I just don't believe people are capable of that AND keeping it secret for decades. Of course people will say they haven't kept it secret and disinformation has made us all not believe it.

This fascination with UFOs just seems so... pointless.
>As a non-US person watching certain American series on Netflix just blows my mind.

As a US person it amazes me the level to which many in the US will defend normative practices simply because they are. It amazes me further their willingness to provide and accept post hoc justifications for systems that were explicitly created with racist intent.
The Financial Times is on the same path into narrative-first fantasyland, it's just happening a bit slower as they still have a captive audience for their (excellent) markets coverage.
I live in a country where even giving slightly wrong numbers on this event or making jokes about it did punish people with life-destroying convictions. So I can't speak my mind. But I can't recommend following the route of Europe on this. Nothing good comes from this... my country still covers up other genocides (armenian) so it's not about being right or wrong. Protect the little freedom of speech the US still has.

Could easily be used to ban Islam on Facebook. Or Scientology. Or far left / far right governments. Or Antifa / Proud Boys / other vigilante groups. Or popularly supported groups with a fringe element (BLM). Or free market capitalists, or communists.

As one should already gather from reading above, I am not suggesting that Facebook should ban any of these.

Ultimately every group doesn't tolerate something, and this argument could be used to ban them.
It would be enough to get an interview for me. :) They would have to tell me when they felt it was appropriate and inappropriate to use such a trick to get a hire. It feels like most C++ devs don't know SFINAE - I'd rather find someone who knows deeper bits of the language and encourage them to use their talents appropriately.
Idk what Facebook's decision will yield and I want a healthier discourse more than anyone else. The thing I would like to add to the conversation is that I think its important to know what people like Nick Cannon think or DeSean Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. Many prominent celebrities are followers like Snoop Dogg and P. Diddy.

When Nick Cannon came on air and said horrible things he got challenged and presumably (at least I hope), understands how his comments came off.

The main battle online is disinformation from not genuine sources. Many Holocaust deniers fit this bill and should be removed. That being said, there also needs to be room to discuss history and try to understand the events that led up to historical atrocities and I really want to know what the best way is to facilitate healthy discourse. I think the current method of upvoting and downvoting on the internet leads to an inorganic and not a serendipitous experience.

NYT and WSJ have sections for Featured Comments in an effort to put insightful comments at the top and eliminate recency bias. I just want to do anything to fight the tribalism happening in the USA.

That would be amazing if I hadn't been blocked for posting obvious jokes and satire, and for using expressions like "white trash" (I'm white btw).

Then on my free time I report tons of people and groups sharing CP, and they're rarely banned, the groups seldom removed... simply because the pedophiles paint strokes over the snapshots of the stuff they share. You can't see the genitals and face of the kid? It's no longer CP for FB.

That kind of stuff is what later fuels conspiracy theories like pizzagate.
People have cast bullets and formed simple cases since the 1800s if not earlier. Primers are a bit more complex but not much so. Black powder has been produced by hand for several hundred years, and smokeless gun powder is not terribly more complicated.
at least on a 27" display, I mostly agree 2160p is overkill for games. it's hard to notice the additional sharpness over 1440p, and it breaks a lot of old games that don't support UI scaling. the performance hit isn't necessarily that bad though; at 2160p, I'm satisfied with much lower AA settings which almost splits the difference between 1440p and 2160p. if the game is really demanding, you can always drop down to 1080p with perfect scaling. it wasn't too long ago that 1080p was an acceptable resolution on a 27" display. not really an issue for me anyway. my 1080ti can do better than 60 fps in most games I play.

knowing what I know now, I'd almost rather have a higher refresh rate 1440p monitor. but now that I'm working from home, I really appreciate the higher dpi for coding. the difference in font rendering really is night and day. I can't unsee it.

That says quite a bit about the savings Amazon is seeing from them, given how notoriously conservative they are over tech (I know they produce bleeding edge stuff, but internal tech approaches are super conservative, with good reason)

That's exactly what it is. Denying the holocaust is about as dumb as saying the earth is flat. Not being sure about historical details such as how many people were killed is very common though. I don't remember either.
I googled for Facebook, Turkey and the Armenian genocide; one of the first results was a page titled "Armenian Genocide Lie" so there's some improvement to do there.

Not sure about Facebook in the Ukraine; I googled it and an information page came up first, not sure if people in the Ukraine can actually access it.

Facebook is banned in China, so that's not an issue there.

Anyway Facebook is far from perfect, and in cases like this they have to push their own agenda; they try to look neutral and an open platform but in some cases it's difficult.

I want to mention something about facts vs government denial, but in some cases said facts / history itself is rewritten, to the point where we can no longer be sure. I wouldn't be surprised that if the right-wing gains more power, we'll see another modern biblioclast with e.g. historical records of the holocaust and/or slavery removed. The (failed) Confederate state's remnants already tried that by writing their own elementary school history books wherein slaves were depicted as well-treated helpers (look up the Daughters of the Confederacy, or e.g. https://www.facingsouth.org/2019/04/twisted-sources-how-conf... ).

The effects of the losers writing the history books in the South are still felt today (it's only been a few generations, and the pro-Confederacy history books were still being used up until the boomers generation).

But why would being able to draw comparison with the guy even be helpful? You won't suddenly turn into him.

> This heavy-handedness isn't an encroachment on free speech but a necessary impediment to keep the spirit of free speech and free society intact, one where the tolerant voices aren't drained out by the relentlessness and irrationality of the intolerant.

What is tolerance? You can't tolerate something if you agree with it. Tolerance means putting up with things with which you disagree.

This is an encroachment on free speech (and it's intolerant). You may believe that it's necessary -- and perhaps you're right: maybe the country will fall apart unless we censor voices outside the mainstream. But to frame this issue as you have done is nonsensical, as if, through sheer power of righteous will, you can transmute censorship into something else.
Perhaps -- and if I do, I think you've just underscored my point. If someone who started programming the same decade Unix was invented doesn't want to be his own sysadmin, why would most people?
Censorship will only, rightly or wrongly, give legitimacy to censored views, and galvanize the censored.

The report had the potential to be groundbreaking, but it seems to mostly have ended up as a hit job.

> Disappointingly, the much-ballyhooed document is riddled with factual errors. For example, it claims that “a decade into the future, 30% of the world’s gross economic output may lie with [Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google] and just a handful of others.” But the source for that statistic, a study by McKinsey, actually said that by 2025 (not 2030), revenues from all digital commerce (not just by the Big Four and a few others) might reach 30% of global revenues.

> To put in perspective how misleading the report’s original claim was, consider that the combined annual revenue last year of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google represented only about half a percent of global economic output. Such a blatant error is conceivable only in a piece of work that first assumed its conclusion (“Big Tech is taking over the world”) and worked backward from there. There are dozens of other examples like this.

"Unfortunately, even while the protests about the cartoons were still underway, a new problem about convincing Muslims of the genuineness of our respect for freedom of expression has arisen because of Austria's conviction and imprisonment of David Irving for denying the existence of the Holocaust. We cannot consistently hold that it should be a criminal offense to deny the existence of the Holocaust and that cartoonists have a right to mock religious figures. David Irving should be freed.

Before you accuse me of failing to understand the sensitivities of victims of the Holocaust or the nature of Austrian anti-Semitism, I should tell you that I am the son of Austrian Jews. My parents escaped Austria in time, but my grandparents did not. All four of my grandparents were deported to ghettos in Poland and Czechoslovakia. Two of them were sent to Lodz, in Poland, and then probably murdered with carbon monoxide at the extermination camp at Chelmno. Another one fell ill and died in the overcrowded and underfed ghetto at Theresienstadt. My maternal grandmother was the only survivor.

So, I have no sympathy for David Irving's absurd denial of the Holocaust-which, in his trial, he said was a mistake. I support efforts to prevent any return to Nazism in Austria or anywhere else. But how is the cause of truth served by prohibiting Holocaust denial? If there are still people crazy enough to deny that the Holocaust occurred, will they be persuaded by imprisoning some who express that view? On the contrary, they will be more likely to think that views people are being imprisoned for expressing cannot be refuted by evidence and argument alone."

I could not read the article because it is blocked for me.
I don't think that's the best approach. I like it better how it can be done at e.g. reddit: make other groups able to link to the content/discussion and show this link to the reader of the original content. Then the reader gets to notice that the topic is controversial and discussed in other places and can make up their own idea based on different views. It shouldn't be difficult to convince a naive reader of conspiracy theories.

This has many advantages:

1. It does not force groups into underground forums

2. It raises visibility to everyone that there are people with strange ideas and how many of them there are (which I personally think is a problem if it grows too big)

3. It removes the potential argument of such a group that they are suppressed or that online content is moderated by people that "try to hide the truth"

4. It removes the ability to easily censor valid criticism/movements (Hongkong?) because the censorship infrastructure is already in place

5. It leaves some really strange and sometimes funny content that I can dive into if I get really bored, such as believers in flat earth. It can be good entertainment

I believe that if such content really has to be banned, we have already lost the war
Everyone should agree with the first point that it's unhelpful to try to make people feel bad, but I don't think that is what's happening here. Healthy people, almost by definition, should be able to look at all the major headlines in the world without getting emotional and going into a spiral of depression. We both probably have parents/friends with unhealthy emotional processing habits, but we shouldn't accept our distorted reality on how normal, healthy people emotionally process news.

That said: (AFAIK) Both run on Wine in some versions.
