I’ve not used Kubuntu in years but there was a time when it was consistently running 50% slower than every other KDE orientated distro (and some distros that were DE agnostic too).

I think Kubuntu did more harm than good for people’s perception of KDE.
asking users to re-subscribe will lose from 20% to 40% of your customers (my estimation). Unless your SaaS is business critical, a good percentage of customers pay without using or really needing the app so much to re-subscribe.

In my city every act of violence at BLM rallies was somehow blamed on white supremacist and Proud Boys by the local media and on social media.

We're fully post-fact now, and it's not just Republicans playing this game.

I appreciate your elaboration.
No, neither.

“He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.”

I don't think Russia hacked servers or anything like that. But the fact is that Russia made a very large and active effort to interfere in the US election, as laid out very clearly in the Senate report. It's not something we consider stealing in the ordinary sense, but that's only because it's significantly more sophisticated than what the MAGA mob is currently trying to do.

(The US has interfered in other countries' elections before, of course.)
I think I'm helping seed at least one torrent from them. Which part should I be looking at for the staggering mountain of evidence that this isn't a pretty normal US protest?

That's a vulgar interpretation of Popper's argument, he was very explicit that he intended for his principle to be applied only in the presence of a serious and actual threat to freedom, not merely whereever such a threat would be conceivable.

>Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: *Unlimited tolerance* must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend *unlimited tolerance* even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — *In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise.* But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

The vulgar interpretation of Popper's argument justifies an eternal war of all against all, and defeats the point of ever discussing tolerance - group A correctly deduces that group B intends to use violence against their position, and so group A decides that violence is justified against group B; meanwhile group B is going through exactly the same logic, and together it's a self-fulfilling prophecy of an endless winner take all battle for the right to suppress everyone else's opinions.
> The trick is to remember you're no less subject to these impulses than "the other side"

Why would that be true? Do you think that tolerance (on any dimension) is a constant across humanity?

Do you think that no group stratifies according to tolerance on some dimension?

We have groups of people intolerant of race. There's no reason to be confident that "both sides" of opposing ideologies would be the same on any dimension without even specifying what those ideologies are.
If Democrats agreed to a universal free voterID for all US citizens that people can get at any post office, the Republicans would 100% go for it. All they truly want is a fair and trusted election. Any claim against this is based purely in conjecture and could easily be proven by simply pushing for some form of voter ID that is not discriminatory.

It’s the Democrats that say an ID to vote is racist, while saying an ID is not racist for things like driving, flying, buying alcohol, working, getting a firearm, welfare checks, and so much more.

It’s the Democrats that literally removed the signature requirement on ballots? (PA) What possible reason is there for this, if not to open the door for fraudulent voting, multiple votes per person etc...

Not a rhetorical question. Someone please help me understand the other side of this?

> over what period of time did the violence persist,

According to BLM the violence against them has persisted since the founding of the country.

Rioting against being systemically killed for generations and destroying property because nothing else you do changes the system is absolutely fundamentally different than storming Congress because your cult leader and GOP officials have lied to you, you're dumb enough to believe it, and cause you to commit insurrection.

There is no comparing the two no matter how many times people try and draw up this false equivalence.
That is not so strange. I've seen it in similar forms elsewhere. It basically means you don't actually know what's in a man's mind and if it's found that you protected a deceitful person you're worse than if you let the things unfold by themselves. For example, you guarantee for a friend that you 'know' could not do something bad. You actually don't know.
That affects mostly GCC and clang, other compiler vendors are more happy to break ABI between major releases, as long as they aren't forbidden by ISO C++ specification.

I was already sharing templates and classes across DLLs in Windows 3.x compilers, and keep doing it with VC++ to this day.

On Linux with Qt and Gtkmm projects, and on macOS/iOS with their system frameworks.

Which is the biggest reason I cannot put up with cargo's model to compile every single project from scratch, after git clone.

As we have lengthy discussed, while it might not be a priority right now, it is certainly an adoption block among some Ada, Delphi, Swift, Objective-C, C and C++ communities.
It sounds like an attempt to discourage cliques?
I agree that it was a lame coup, but that is par for the course with anything the right attempts. They failed but it wasn't for lack of trying.

A terrorist is anyone who perpetuates violence in order to achieve a political goal, and it is pretty clear that was the case when they attempted to stop the certification process.

As far as victims of terrorism are concerned, I think this officers family would be "gravely insulted" by how far you have managed to shove your head up your own ass.

I have no evidence to support this, but to me, autism seems like a poor label for a broad and diverse set of traits we don’t fully understand.

Over time I think the number of things autism describes will shrink and eventually the term will disappear as we correctly understand all the underlying conditions / factors.
It takes both.

The advantage of speeding up hardware is that it scales to most present and future programs. Though it's a bit of an economic activity. As the hardware gets faster, software developers de-prioritize algorithmic speed in favour of faster product development or research.
I didn't see BLM storming the Capitol

Police response to violence in both cases is justified
> because their differentiator is literally not moderating hate speech since it counts as free speech.

False. Have already shown with evidence that they were indeed moderating hate speech and did indeed have it clearly, unambiguously defined in their guidelines. No matter how much you try to twist it the facts are staring back in your face. That guidelines do exist.

There is literally no differentiator between Twitter and Parler. Both take their own sweet time to moderate violent content/hate speech. Yet Amazon finds Parler not moderating "with urgency" a requirement to terminate business with Parler while renewing cloud contracts with Twitter for the same damn thing. I haven't seen a bigger hypocritical bunch.

And what will this lead to? Fragmentation and balkanization of the internet.
Foreign competition is a choice (by setting low tariffs). I happen to benefit from it, but it seems a lot of working citizens don’t, and they want more protectionism than they got from Trump.

What did Trump say/do that called for violence? Why could rioters just go to the capitol?

Seeing a dozen news articles the best argument seems to be that the mention of not attending the inauguration was a call for violence. I don't buy it.
Great article.

My criticism is just that the conclusion ideally would be developed more.

It seems to me that this is a critical structural problem. Do social scientists or anyone else have any idea what to do about it?

In China it seems their solution is apparently to eliminate the outgroup. So people are just officially not allowed to have different worldviews.

Whereas in America we fiercely defend the principal of having fundamentally different worldviews.

Both of those extremes seem to be poor solutions.

>Should Fox News have their licenses removed, and be taken off the air & internet?

Sounds like a good start. They have been involved in laundering terrorist rhetoric and incitement to mass attacks. Take the case of Fox employing Tucker Carlson.

Tucker owns Daily Caller.

Daily Caller published an article extolling the virtues of ISIS-style ramming attacks against protestors.

Fox News republished this article. The result was a spike in ramming attacks against protestors.

Fox gracefully pulled the article after complaints, no blow back since it wasn't their own article anyways. Nothing to see here, just entities paying each other and relaying each other's incitement.

There has to be at least a dozen people at Fox News that need to be imprisoned for their role in pursuing death and violence against political and cultural opponents. So yes lets do the steps you mentioned then move on to discovery so we can find out how execs at Fox measured success when publishing incitement.
I’m genuinely curious. Which parts of monitoring is crippled or difficult to use?

100%, all the recommendations to "start" with the FOSS toolchain are totally bogus.

"You want to learn FPGAs! Let's simulate with Verilator. No, it can't simulate delays, or your vendor's IP library. No, it's not mixed language - hope all your IP is Verilog! And you'll need to know C or C++ to write your test bench, but that's ok right? The examples online involve templates (ZipCPU), so you're OK with Makefiles, and templated C++, obviously. Now, you have the FOSS P&R tools! They use a primitive simulated annealing placement algorithm that's like what we did in the 90's. Yeah, that's terrible, but don't worry, it works fine because the only parts you can target are really, really tiny Lattice parts! No, you can't even use all the hard blocks on the 7 series Xilinx parts - you can fit ONE whole RISC-V superscalar OoO core on the $3500 VC707 (https://github.com/csail-csg/riscy-OOO), running at ~120MHz - but I'll bet you'll do some primitive microcontroller RISC-V instead, something that fits on these really, really, REALLY tiny parts. Then you'll obviously want to augment that with Migen - don't you also know Python? Or Chisel! How great is Scala right? Yeah, it couldn't simulate a simple tri-state until version 2, but you're OK with the concept of domain specific languages already, right? You love the first-class functions and code as data concept! I know, I know. No, nobody in industry cares about any of this stuff, they're too busy using actual FPGA knowledge to like build real systems and circuits. Yeah, a microcontroller-level RISC-V style processor is a handful of undergraduate labs, but RISC-V IS OPEN! Anyway, back to FPGAs...hey where are you going?!"

Insightful analysis of some recent politics
Could it be that this particular group at the Capitol didn't have any supposed proclivity to violence?

This was supposed to be a group of people who "backed the blue" and stood for law and order. Perhaps their guard was let down because of this?

Perhaps it was because the police response to mass gatherings has changed and become more lenient since the beginning of the BLM protests.

Interesting that you posted this link with the image of national guard members on the Lincoln Memorial steps this summer. I had read the an official, maybe Mayor Bowser didn't want this exact scene pictured to happen again because it looked bad.

Anyway, here is the tweet from the Mayor Bowser officially declining additional federal law enforcement to help MPD and their partners.

The Dalai Lama initiated terrorist attacks against China? If not, then it's not even remotely the same thing and you know it.

I imagine bin laden was still protected by Pakistani laws, same as people inside the US are protected by US laws, even if they've pissed off some other country

You imagine incorrectly. As a non-state actor, bin Laden was not subject to the protection of any nation's laws. This has been international law for over a century, and this view was upheld by the U.N. Moreover, Pakistan's government itself said it had no issues with the legality of the operation, and indeed elements of Pakistan's government and military participated in aspects of the operation.
That's a good article. It starts off with some irrelevant material, but after about three screens it gets down to business.

"So what makes an outgroup? Proximity plus small differences."

Good point.

Thought for today: tolerance is an entitlement. Acceptance is a gift. A society has to have its groups tolerate each other to function well. They don't have to like each other. Insisting on acceptance may break tolerance and force division.

Politically, this created a situation in Congress where the leftmost Republican is to the right of the rightmost Democrat. That's historically unusual in the US.

Poul Anderson had one of his SF characters say "Maybe they is not evil. Maybe they is just enemies."
That’s virtually what the article suggests.
To state it in another way. A less than optimal algorithm implemented in hardware, can be completly dominated by algorithmic improvement. If the improved algorithm is implemented in hardware it would be the new fastest implementation.

That said, when you implement specialized algorithms in hardware, it's likely because it's good enough for the task it's designed for.
These are the same bigots who believed Trump's racist lie of birtherism that he peddled for five years before even running for president. Trump tried to delegitimize the former president, like he's trying to delegitimize the incoming president. He's always been anti-American insofar as he is exclusively pro-Trump.

Abraham Lincoln said that all controversies are about minorities and majorities, and that one of them must submit, or the government ceases. There is no alternative. And that if the losing states of the 1860 election were permitted to secede, it would be the end of self-rule, the end of democracy. And he decided that could not be permitted.

In the 2016 election, a majority of voters elected Clinton. They submitted to the minority because that is what the Constitution required. And they did it peacefully. Clinton conceded the day after the election.

Fast forward to 2020, Trump has gotten 2/3rds of the Republicans in the House to debase themselves. They are now a sedition caucus, selling these lies too. As well as several Republicans in the Senate. The lie that they are not the minority. And the lie that they do not have to submit. They can fight instead.

This is a non-insurable proposition, because the majority was never going to submit this time.

The message being broadcast for two months is: cease the government. That is why violence broke out in 1861, that's why it broke out last week, in the first violent transfer of power since then.

BLM riots vs capitol attack? Not at all the same thing. Not at all the same risk. And the whataboutism? Sounds like white nationalist nonsense to me.
For the time-pressed: The relevant "call to action" starts at about 2 mins. He's basically screaming a few minutes later. I don't think democrats are immune to this sort of thing, but I agree that this has really gone way too far at this point. Need to remind myself that this is Fox News - not some Peertube alt-right commentator. Quite scary.
Eh, for me Donut County wasn’t that successful. Though my frame of comparison is Katamari.

Rolling things up, for whatever reason, seems to be more fun than swallowing them into a hole.

In software there is the distinction between visually DRY and functionally DRY.

The latter should be collapsed, but might not be duplicate code at all. Automated code analyzers will often not even see these.

And the former must be kept duplicate. Unless you can make it functionally duplicate too. Automated code analyzers will often flag these wrong.

Don't get me wrong: I love automated analysis in a CI or my workflow. But it is not binary like a linter: pass or fail. It requires context and interpretation; I see e.g. CodeClimate as suggestions, not laws.
As a member of the "Free World", not a citizen of the US, can I please be exempt from being lead by the US and any of its leaders.

There was a point in time when the US was seen as having some degree of leadership, mostly because it's military power. These days I think it's seen by many as being a bit of a bully boy only useful in keeping some degree of balance with the other bully boys.
Yes it is. If you are self-medicating with drugs, you are going to have a bad time.
People aren't being banned for saying the election was stolen. People are being banned for saying the election was stolen without any credible evidence to support the claim. There is a very important difference there.

And if there was any evidence, it would been have presented in one of the ~60 lawsuits that universally got shot down by every single court, appeals court, and the Supreme Court. Because they had no evidence.
That seems like an odd response to an article identifying a clear set of commonalities across the ASD spectrum.

Rate limited so editing my reply for comment below

Thanks for the link. I couldn't find it. If this is the situation then it's extremely bad. The entire situation is fucked up. We literally are in a Censorship era. But the silver lining is that now there will be serious efforts into creating a decentralised internet that isn't controlled by any Big Tech Cartel. In the same way Bitcoin was a response to 2008 economic crises. This crises will create strong alternative platforms. No doubt about it. It's no longer a matter of if but when. Incentives for an alternative internet have never been stronger.
It's always been possible for everybody in the US to run for for office but how likely is it without having serious money?

Everything from advertising to filing comes with serious cost in US federal election. In Texas alone it costs $3k to just get on a primary ballot for a federal election as a representative.

Even the candidates you mentioned had to raise over $1MM just to run their elections.

Yes, it's possible just very unlikely if you don't have the cash.
