> we could very well have a bloody revolution or war considering the unaddressed underlying conditions

A revolution/civil war in the US is impossible. The US military is the best-equipped in the world (with tons of equipment no private individual can ever hope to acquire) and backed by the world's leading intelligence community. Regardless of how angry or desperate American citizens are, they don't have the capacity to wage anything resembling a war on the government. Violent protests (and continued domestic terrorism) are an entirely different matter, though.
GNOME is in general terrible for everything with image related work (last tested on Ubuntu 20.04). In the past I thought finder on macOS is terrible (it's still the worst piece of macOS and I don't like it) but GNOME files aka Nautilus tops it for sure (also because of space wasting issues).

XFCE and KDE both do a better job than GNOME in this regard. And also Windows Explorer was and is much much better in this area.
Indeed it could have been called "cooking for grad students" which is when I started cooking on my own. Or, "cooking for busy parents" when I learned it from my mom.

Granted I already knew how to cook at the point where I was suddenly living apart from my spouse for a few months. It being Texas, I picked up a huge package of tortillas. It's amazing how well you can eat if you just know how to quickly saute some meat and vegetables.
I'm not OP, and I'm not a trumper or Conservative but I am 110% into free speech and I don't like the parler ban.

That said, it's really not equivalent. There are 101 other services if AWS turn you down. You can still access the parler site from an apple/android phone too. On android you can still install the app, just not via the play store.

Censorship is incidious because many people support at least some. So you convince liberals to support banning parler and conservatives to support banning porn payments (or whatever). And they're both poorer for it. We should all be agreeing on this, not being fractional...

We should all be uniting in our call to get Visa , Mastercard, Apple, Google and a dozen others declared utilities. Rather than arguing over which problem is biggest, solve them all.
"Pick an oil with a high smoke point, a neutral taste"

I think the next argument that you’re going to make is well these tech companies are monopolies and therefore the government needs to regulate them in a way that ensures they are platforms for even the extreme left and right to speak.

But they aren’t monopolies. AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, Digital Ocean.

Sure, there are only a handful of news networks in the US, just like there are only a handful of cloud infrastructure providers. But the first amendment doesn’t guarantee that everyone gets their own hour on the nightly news, and it doesn’t force private corporations in general to do business with all comers.

I don’t have to invite QAnon into my house, and I certainly don’t need to bake QAnon a wedding cake. And neither do AWS, Azure or Digital Ocean.
It also doesn't help that theres an utter legion of Linux users who deny that the ecosystem has any deficiencies at all compared to windows and macOS. It's so misleading.
Yes, the lack of preparation for a mob which had been announcing its intentions publicly for weeks in advance leads me to believe someone higher up must have issued orders to stand down, essentially letting them in.
I used to think that way until I learned about the illusory truth effect, which basically states that being exposed to information multiple times makes you more likely to believe it to be true. The consequence of this is that attempting to curate information might "infect" you with ideas that you never wanted in your brain in the first place.
This isn’t Twitter. We don’t have to communicate with hashtags.

You have made your point. Have a nice rest of the day.
The notion of a reverse cargo cult, a "fake it 'til you break it", tickled my brain.

(Submitter.)
Indeed - just make sure you read it all first and then solve whatever you find most comfortable solving.

For me I found that doing the ones I knew immediately how to solve first and then going back to the ones I didn’t quite get at first made those easier when revisiting. I think maybe getting my brain into context made referencing that information possible and possibly by reading them and moving on, it gave my brain some time to begin processing them. No idea though.

Same idea applies to IKEA assembly. Read all the directions first.
The establishment/mainstream is the real enemy of the people. It totally makes sense to support anyone who you think could realistically challenge and destroy the status quo.
Anyone else feel like we’re revisiting the conformity phenomenon of the 50’s?
Yes, I want to be able to look at more than one thing at a time.
> We teach five year olds about Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement because it’s an important part of our history. Children are going to have questions about why things happened, and what the “right” side of it was. What are we going to tell them?

I hope you have a good answer. And if they question it, because it is natural for kids to question the world around them, you have a great chance to explain and reinforce that message with arguments. But if instead we shut down the questioner that chance will be lost, and they will likely revisit it later as they grow up, not inclined to take your priors anymore.

And yes, a few will always stay unconvinced. That is the price of freedom. But the country where the majority holds their opinions because they were allowed to think them through, consider alternatives and were not demonized for disagreement is much more resistant to sellers of next Auschwitz than the country where the majority parrots what a talking head on TV/Twitter/Facebook tells them.

> Like, how are you gonna convince the dude wearing the Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt?

A dude or a gal wearing the Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt is, as I said, the price you pay for freedom. In a society where the majority would like to live, the predominant reaction on the street would be "Yuck". In a society that is told what is right it is much easier for the ruling party to bring the next extermination camp to a site next to you.
Instead of letting you shift the goalposts, I'll explain why I think it was uncharitable.

Imo, it is very clear that the OP was not trying to imply that the students/professors were the ones personally or even indirectly involved in these riots. I also feel that it is clear that they were not trying to say that the students were nessicary doing anything wrong. They were replying to their parent comment which was discussing the effects that education had on Russian revolutionary leaders, and connected that same discussion to what we see today.

Do you think that they're wrong? Are they missing something critical? Reply to that instead of complaining about how it AlwAYs ComES bACk tO thE LefT.

If the facts make a certain group look bad, arguing that it's unfair to make that group look bad doesn't add anything. Add your own insight to the conversation and tell us why you think it's wrong or more nuanced
It's a minor nitpick, but anyway, what's up with naming your pdf files like this 'dm.pdf'? What's wrong with 'Algorithms_for_Decision_Making.pdf' of even adding the 'Mykel_Kochenderfer,Tim_Wheeler,Kyle_Wray_-_' prefix?
I can't put a proper name in a "save" dialog until I open the book, and I need to save it first!

I sound so annoyed because I recently downloaded 'hist.pdf', 'fxtbook.pdf' and 'V090212S.pdf' Is it just to get a memorable file URL? If so, humanity invented simlinks long ago.
I agree that is wrong, but it is not new. Standard of living are much higher than say the 50's. There is something else going on. A mix of nihilism, vast inequality and a societal sensory apparatus that is profiting immensely from churning hate.

On the other hand, there appears to be a "skeptical" strain of discourse now that is just as arrogant, but in the other direction. As in, I disagree with the mainstream cultural view on a topic, so I therefore have the correct view on it.

This is best exemplified by someone like Michael Tracy or Glenn Greenwald IMO.

In my view they're more wrong than right, but they do have the occasional nugget where they do see through the BS. However, the mainstream view is correct more often than not. Additionally, a significant proportion of their takes are in bad faith.
Depression should not be stigmatized, but neither should we turn a blind eye. Those suffering from depression and obesity should have access to the resources they need to tackle those issues, and should be encouraged to seek them out.

And no one should be denied health insurance for any reason, obviously. (Unless you're proposing abolishing private health insurance completely, in which case yes please.)
This is an example of black-and-white logic, tribalism, and an inability to comprehend nuance. I can state any number of the 100s of lies and hoaxes told about Trump and the only thing Democrats can hear is a "praise" of Trump, rather than a statement of fact.
> Okay. Well, how much money should I pay for someone to fix this then? I’m legit offering a bounty here.

How much are you willing to offer?
I wish they excluded extremes on both sides of the spectrum. Otherwise, it makes Cabal seem like a Parler for the extreme left.

(Maybe it is not; I know nothing about people behind Cabal.)
Free speech doesn’t mean any speech. Free speech only means you can’t be arrested for saying “let’s kill mike pence”.

It doesn’t mean that the people who’s property you’re saying it can’t boot you off. property being a physical or internet property e.g “my house, AWS, Apple, Twitter, google, FB”

They all have terms of service, they can boot you off if you violate them. They don’t even have to uniformly enforce the terms of service.

If you want to say “hang mike pence” then host your own site on a server with a DNS provider who is complicit with your activity.

thedonald.win is a great clone of Trump subreddit. Kudos to them. I don’t agree with their content but they’ve figured it out how to host content that incites violence.

Parler relied on AWS and violated their terms. That’s on them. Their house, their rules.

This looks really interesting. Dumb question, do you have a REPL or GitHub link anywhere? I'm probably just missing it.
>Baking is much harder and less forgiving than any other kind of cooking. If you’re just starting to get into cooking, don’t start with baking.

Well, that depends a lot on what you're baking. Baking bread can be very easy, and very rewarding. There are few things more delicious than freshly baked bread with butter. There are some simple cakes that are also easy to make. But yes, fancy desserts are hard.
There's more serious reasons this file picker is broken.

Here's a trivial to reproduce and obvious issue that's been there for several years now:

1. Open a directory that loads slowly (e.g. one with thousands of files on a smb3 mount)

2. While the list is loading, select a file (but do not open it)

3. Wait for the whole list to load

Once the list finishes loading, the file on the very top of the list gets automatically selected (discarding your selection).

Thus, if you select a file and click open, in the time between you select and click open, the selection can auto-change and you'll end up opening something else than what you've selected.

It is this bad.

As it stands right now they do have the right to do whatever they want. I guess you are proposing that this needs to be changed.

I believe we will just crash eventually, learn a lesson and try something else. Or we will all die before that. Or we will all get unlimited energy, defeat aging and become gods.

The reason I think this is because of the USA: the USA started as a minarchy, it became very rich (probably because of it) and then slowly became the largest, fattest government ever.

Similarly, tons of smaller governments in EU keep growing larger and more inefficient instead of cutting down and freeing the economy.
This is from the blog [..]On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump Tweeted:
“The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”
Shortly thereafter, the President Tweeted:
“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”[..]

I don’t see what you are reading from it. Do you want to translate?
Yes! ATLB is fantastic!
No, it's not only internal use, as long as it's Cisco's binary that's being distributed. That's how for example Firefox ships H.264 decoding support.

The license does not cover any other binaries built from the same Cisco source code, though.

The Wikipedia article is also fairly clear about this and says: "any software projects that use Cisco's source code instead of its binaries would be legally responsible for paying all royalties to MPEG LA themselves, however."

From personal experience on the product side, if you want to be more involved with the business, I'd recommend you work on two things from this article. First, curiosity is an absolutely must have. Without it, you'll not be able to truly learn what a customer is looking for. Second, demonstrate you can "talk with another engineer" without manager facilitation. It's a signal of ownership that I guarantee people will notice.
Has the headline “(extremist group) use / flock to WhatsApp to plan (nefarious thing)” ever dissuaded someone from installing WhatsApp? Probably, but it got popular anyway.

Maybe significantly more work, but can you try to filter out very small (or spam) PRs before these calculations? Maybe limit this analysis to PRs that edits source code (not just comment and docs). Or maybe include those, but only when "amount" of changes cross a certain threshold? (e.g. exclude PRs that fix just one typo)

This has somehow gotten worse in recent years. When saving, it used to be you could use the mouse to navigate to a directory, then type the desired filename, and press enter.

Now, typing the filename initiates a contextual search within the current directory.

Clicking in the filename textbox and starting to type doesn’t work either. You have to highlight the base (not the extension or “.”) of the filename. At that point, you can finally start typing the name of the file you want to save.

The same problem occurs if the file chooser happens to already be in the directory where you want to save the file.
Interestingly, Thunar has had a similar pet peeve: it could not remember per-directory view settings (e.g. sorting order). This was finally fixed a couple months ago, 13 years after the original bug was filed (#3521).
This is a very important dimension. See Sec. 1.5 of the book. There is also a side reference to a book that discusses this and other societal implications.
I’m in my thirties, and I have a feeling the process of “growing up” is an ideological bell curve that goes something like:

Youth: Extrovert certainty

Young adulthood: Extrovert uncertainty

Adulthood: Introvert certainty

As you learn more about the world around you, you realize the younger you was far too idealistic and cock-sure about the causes and solutions to the problems around you. Being barraged with uncertainty, the obvious answer then becomes that there is really no truth, there’s only approximations we can reach through the Socratic method: but eventually you grow weary of this as well. Surely there must be good and evil in this world, and if it quacks like a duck it’s probably a duck.

Being dogmatic isn’t a good thing, and I try to keep an open mind: but what’s equally dangerous is subscribing to the ideology that there is no such thing as good and evil. There is, and most of us have known the difference since we were children. I think adulthood is about finding the courage to speak out, when useful and constructive, instead of hiding behind the comfort of relativism.
Before installing NixOS, I’d recommend anyone on Linux to give home-manager a go first for the userspace declarative approach with Nix. After a year with full-time NixOS, I switched back to Ubuntu + home-manager as best of both worlds—declarative when feasible, imperative when convenient.

Pretty sure 99% of regular people would be happy if there was a desktop with GNOME 2 feature parity but with a good Wayland compositor and probably some modern features that would come from that (multimonitor, VRR, ...).

I just can't understand how anyone could defend GNOME 3. Their own staff have to use extensions (that break every update), even Fedora (!!!) has to patch GNOME packages now.

They kept fighting that their workflow is superior and now they are going to change it all over next release. They keep butchering their toolkit, I can only use Qt applications now. Hell I'll take even Electron over GTK.

For me the Linux desktop with a WM is the perfect balance of exposing the internals and UX. It could be better but that's true to every OS, at least here I have my freedom. I'm keeping my eye on KDE, seems like they rewrote their less than ideal compositor (legacy X11 is a burden) and maybe in a year I could be using that.

I've once heard someone say that GNOME is Microsoft's favorite DE. You can guess why.

In all seriousness though, this kind of advertising should not be beneficial to Facebook. You're telling a group of people biased not to buy your product, to buy your product. There's obviously some other reason.

But when you use projects pushed by big companies, you are giving those companies word-of-mouth advertising, and when their projects become popular they get a pool of pre-trained engineers for free.

So if you honestly feel that a company is pure evil, you really ought to avoid any open source project they publish. Not because the code is political, but because everything surrounding the code is.
The new Georgia senator is the youngest elected senator since Biden. That was... an odd factoid to take in for me.
Wow, what a nightmare.

Every time I hear people on HN talk about Matrix as a potential alternative to WhatsApp I always think “I’ll try that” then I look at it for about 20 seconds before deciding it’s just not worth it.

I’ve wanted a Cooking For Founders book for a while. Particularly tips of foods that are easy to preprep and remix and reheat easily, for people who have little cooking experience.

One tip: get a sound vide cooker. It’s so foolproof and you have a lot more leeway, sometimes even hours, when you actually eat. Great if you get locked into something and don’t want to be interrupted until you’re done.
That has nothing to do with what I said.
The post isn't actually about GNOME's file manager (which does have thumbnails), it's about the GTK file picker which is the same in any DE.
I think you have something there. There’s certainly a phase when you stop trusting the mainstream where you overdo it and think everything is wrong.

The goal should probably be a balance. And probably realizing that nobody including the government or media deserves your blind trust.
> If you're going to sell your services and goods here, you need to comport to the cultural norms HERE.

They are also selling their services and goods there so:

> They can and do change business practices to fit the region.

They have and do change their practices to fit the global region they operate in so the "un-american" critique would be moot.
Doing some introspection (all too rare for me!), I find that this is the reason I've started avoiding creating new files in LibreOffice, and why my Downloads and Pictures folders are flat, unstructured messes. Too many programs use the GNOME file selector.
In Soviet Union, and I believe generally in socialist block, in its final times most young highly educated people were visibly right-leaning.

Probably it's fair to say education may give feelings of better understanding of things (whether it justified or not is a separate topic), and when it is not translated into higher social, and economic positions it naturally leads to growing hostility towards current system. Will it take a right, or left form, or something you cannot reliably put in this spectrum - is the issue if present conditions.

We have this for Instagram in Australia already and I like it. I noticed I would always look at the like count and judge a post based on that before the change. Of course the real way to 'improve your wellbeing' is to use social media sparingly or not at all, the real motivation behind the change is probably to more seamlessly integrate ads into the feed.
This is kind of embarassing. Do you guys think that the people at Facebook who make these decisions realise how pathetic it looks from the outside? Or are they somehow justifying it in their own heads?
Never mind human food. Imagine raising animals with feedstocks that cut out the whole agriculture thing - protein feed straight from air, water, electricity.
I'm not suggesting that all economic transactions are zero sum. I'm just using that idea to expose what value really is.

> No value is created or destroyed (outside of trading fees), just transferred between parties.

That transfer is the value. In fact, that's pretty much the point of finance in its entirety - moving around capital/risk is valuable in and of itself.

You're the one advocating taking away rights, bub. I'm the one saying that as a general rule, both people and their businesses have the right to free speech and free association. If you're all that concerned about government power, then why are you advocating to increase government power?
