The key difference is population density. There is a demand, but its too low to be sustainable.

And by the way, you have food deserts in europe (Alps, Balkans). I've never been to Estern Europe but a friend of mine is selling mercs (security detail to be exact) there and i souldn't be surprise if some food desert existed between Crimea and Oural from what i'm told.

Small productor market and product are politically tainted too, so a small percentage of the population won't ever come in. And health shouldn't be about politics.

Just because you avoid Google (and go far out of your way to do so) doesn't mean it's the same for billions of other people on the planet (and Google is far more than some apps on your phone). Likewise billions of people also use cash or other payment tech more often than Visa/MC and are not in the same situation as you.

This is why personal anecdotes are meaningless for these topics.
Thanks, I just used ctrl+f to find celibacy and was surprised. Didn't think of synonyms.
Conspiracy is a legal term and used here in a context unrelated to conspiracy theories, but to your point: what if all of the hills start on fire at the same time?
Some people are generals, and others are soldiers. Soldiers have direct contact with the enemy(code), but generals were once soldiers and have risen to deal with the complexity of huge structures of code, that is to marshal diverse resources to deal with the overall plan. At the top are the 5 star people who run the code warriors of Oracle and Microsoft et al. Linux has a lot of soldiers, some 1-2 stars and it looks like a single 5 star.
This is why Linux has not won the war, but has won many small battles.
I had hopes that Canonical would empower Linux to win the war.
That's likely the fault of the GVFS and other virtual-fs-on-top-of-kernel-VFS layers. Gtk seems to be slower than others (such as KIO/KDE), but all of them are pretty slow. E.g. the KDE file picker takes about a second or so to finish listing the contents of my home directory (though it is usable while it is doing so, unlike the Gtk dialog), where the Gtk takes quite a bit longer (perhaps on the order of 3-5 seconds). Meanwhile ls is essentially instant, as you'd expect for just a few thousand files or so.
No, I know that. I'm just providing insight as to why that menu item is there and when it enables itself.
I don't know if this is off-topic, but in some religions, including Judaism and some denominations of Christianity, drinking is a religious necessity.

In Judaism: Every Sabbath, you bless and drink wine. Every Passover, you drink four cups of wine. Every Purim, you are commanded to drink to your happiness.

In some denominations of Christianity: You drink wine as part of the Eucharist.

On the other hand, I think in Islam, drinking wine is forbidden. So different religions have different views on drink.
Sometimes people just need you to listen. Though it's ill adviced to agree with wild conspiracy theories, after a long discussion normal human beings tend to agree on something together, especially if not arguing.
Symlinks on the desktop or in Finder to files on network mounts don't receive preview thumbnails. But if you drag that same directory to the dock, those symlinks do receive thumbnails (but only when viewed through the dock.)

All we need is better designers. Video chat apps today are extremely naive and try to get away with "what if we just dump everyone in the same room and hope it works". Zoom added "reactions", but for some reason decided to only show reactions on your own tile. Push-to-talk is barely supported. None of them have implemented the bare minimum feature of showing participants in the same order. None of them have support for dynamic breakout rooms.

I swear, the best video chat experience I had was from The Go Game. At no point were you dumped into a massive shared room. Instead, people can join others at-will into small "rooms" of up to six people, which is much more manageable. Then you can implement whatever games you want and let people decide what they want to do. No need for next-gen hardware, no fancy "VR spaces", just a different interface paradigm that actually scales.

I usually block all known trackers and advertisers, so even if they could track me (which is less likely to happen) they don't get any benefit from that.

West Virginians with masters degrees make about twice as much as those with high school diplomas. Either things are not so bad for people with humanities degrees, or they're not as large a share of education as you think.

The problem with that is, that applications will assume it is present and enabled. If it is not, they will inflict a pain on the user until it is enabled again. For example Skype.

With default being off, it is applications that have to be careful. They can use it, when they detect it is present, but cannot assume it anymore.
They tend to do that. It's not hard to see the events of January 6 as a conflagration that caught a lot of attention and people looking for sources of water (to bend this analogy to well beyond usefulness).

Edit to add: if you're going to argue legal conspiracy, you're going to have to provide evidence that isn't circumstantial. Russell's Teapot, and all that.

Yes. The person I was replying to seemed to assume that college was where people are disabused of idealism. My response was satirical.

If you think anyone said that, you should probably talk less and read more. Because it doesn't appear you're competent in either.

I think it's economy of scale, not kool-aid.

I can run PostgreSQL myself but there's a ton that goes into running it with redundancy, backup, encryption, etc that takes deep expertise to well. I know from experience that it's easy to get database failover wrong. I could probably cobble something together, but it would be mediocre and wouldn't handle network partitions reliably. On the other hand, RDS is used at a scale well beyond what I could afford to build out and has benefitted from much more usage. Problems that are low probability for me are regular events for RDS and have that experience built in.

Ultimately, you are paying a cloud vendor for service value and operational experience. Some services aren't as good as others in both regards, but for the ones that are good, the overhead of doing it yourself is an exponent, not a fraction.
For people whose first language is not English maybe translating the book could be a good substitute (never tried this approach personally though)?
If someone makes a specific threat, yes.

Then when they get 50 referrals from r/knitting and 50mil from parlar, law enforcement can raise an eyebrow, investigate and prevent these things.

To me, that seems fair and effective.

The alternative is that we ban parlar. But only after the violence. And we know that banning parlar won't prevent this from happening, we're just moving the problem.

Why bother? Keep parler, by now every second account should an FBI agent. It's even better than twitter/reddit/facebook: all the noise is gone, it's just the crazies planning violence...

Yeah, there are file management options available via a context menu. I believe certainly keyboard shortcuts also work (Cmd-Del to send a file to the Trash/Bin, Return to rename a file, etc.).

That sure is pithy, but it doesn't make any sense unless you're suggesting that there was only one public plan for what people were going to do on the 6th, right? While I haven't looked for them, I would be very surprised if that was the case.
Funny thing. The company I worked for, bought me a 1440p ultrawide screen to use on my mac at (the same I used home on my linux workstation). It displayed no scaling options whatsoever - NONE. Other displays (4k 16:9) shown it but not that. And unlike linux, or windows you can't even set the font size globally.

Suffice to say, that this isn't a solved problem everywhere else.
Julia is all about generic programming. There is a ton of support for offset arrays and people almost always try to support that style.
I agree that the goal is to curb the spread of such views, not so much to change the minds of those who already harbor them. But I still think it's having the opposite effect. The streisand effect is real and likely playing out here.

Thanks to this ban, a lot of people are wondering if the claims of electoral fraud were actually disproven or if evidence of legitimate fraud was suppressed. The bans make it very easy to appeal to uncertainty: you can't find evidence of fraud not because fraud didn't happen but because the evidence of fraud was purged.
Fascinating! I hadn’t heard of this before. The closest I’ve found in the same vein is a 1994 article by Edward Luttwak who predicted another wave of fascism in the western world driven by economic decline of the middle class:

“It is only mildly amusing that nowadays the standard Republican/Tory after-dinner speech is a two-part affair, in which part one celebrates the virtues of unimpeded competition and dynamic structural change, while part two mourns the decline of the family and community ‘values’ that were eroded precisely by the forces commended in part one. Thus at the present time the core of Republican/Tory beliefs is a perfect non-sequitur. And what does the moderate Left have to offer? Only more redistribution, more public assistance, and particularist concern for particular groups that can claim victim status, from the sublime peak of elderly, handicapped, black lesbians down to the merely poor.”

Can't take credit for that — someone told me to use ctrl+click in this situation after I ranted about it elsewhere.
Because the event says "open the currently selected file", not "open this file because it is the selected one". If the event is processed asynchronously w.r.t. other events which can modify the selection, you can get buggy behaviour.

I don't find such a design that surprising. If you like simplicity, you would be tempted to go for it, because it doesn't involve duplicating data (namely, the selected filepath) between the main GUI state and the event handler for opening the selected file. If you're writing in a memory-managing language like C, it's even more tempting - by not copying data, you don't risk forgetting to free it later.
Prior to a week ago, there hadn't been an attack against the US Capitol planned on the app while the owners defend the right of the planners to use it for that purpose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It should be expected that when historically unprecedented things happen, people's viewpoints change.
It will look great to me because I should hopefully be out of it by then.
I don't use a DE myself but I do package software that's meant to run on "normal" Linux distros and the lack of a desktop on modern Gnome is absolutely baffling. I make industrial software so these machines are really single-use so it makes sense to put shortcuts where they won't be missed by somebody who may not be super familiar with the Linux desktop (especially since said shortcut will often be used when something goes wrong and speed is of the essence).

I remember thinking "what on earth were they thinking" the first time I realized that none of the usual way of putting things on the desktop worked on modern Gnome. Absolutely baffling. Breaking such a well established convention is pure hubris in my book.

I'd be perfectly fine if this was a niche DE that you'd have to go out of your way to install but this is bloody Gnome, the de-facto standard DE for Linux. Absolute insanity.
Inciting murder is illegal in the USA, here in Britain and in most countries.

Unfortunately, all you have here is a stance. Having a stance is easy: it's not your company that's hosting the material, it's not your work that's being co-opted to facilitate violence, it's not your legal team that has to go to court when the company gets sued. I've got lots of stances on things that will never impact me, too.

Everyone here is saying the same thing, but no one is willing to engage with the very real, actual outcomes of that stance.
It makes quite reasonable sense for this administration to distribute the presidential powers to the congress, since they control both anyway, and have proven to be most harmed by an opposition president.
@grzm, sorry can't reply to you. I agree, there can be a strong case to be made that it's just a coincidence and they all moved on the same external event just because they were all meaning to anyway. It also seems like a case could be made that it wasn't a coincidence as well. I doubt we'll ever know, since I don't think Parler will ever take any action in this direction.
It would be a grave error to have coded the Rust frontend to Gcc in C (or, as written above, "in c"). Gcc is now a C++ codebase, and new components should be coded in modern C++, for better productivity, performance, safety, and maintainability.

(You might prefer not to consider modern C++ more productive, performant, safe, and maintainable than C (and reflexively downvote), but the statement remains true: Gcc did transition to C++, for reasons. And, all the improvements that have kept Gcc competitive with Clang were done, since. And, Clang and LLVM are also coded in C++, also for reasons.)
> A compromise would have been performing a transparent audit in the disputed states, especially in counties where the counting stopped and resumed in the middle of the night.

But it looks like this did happen? One example[1].

> You know, actually listen to and address their complaints instead of just saying 'you're a crazy conspiracy nut.'

There were attempts to address their complaints. Re ounts and audits took place. Those recounts and audits didn't change the result or uncover any further evidence of fraud. This didn't align with Trump's claims so his base dismissed it as lies. The interesting thing coming out of this is that they're now turning on the rest of the republican party who accept what their own observers are telling them.

I'd also like to point out that this was all happening while Trump was privately pressuring the Georgia secretary of state to 'find' him enough votes to win[2].

Uncovering fraud was never the motivation here, it's a cynical attempt at destroying trust in the election process in order to corrupt the result.

If you just run redis on virtual server in cloud, you're not replacing the devops engineer who manages redis. You're replacing:

- the network engineers who manage switches, firewalls, routers, nats and connectivity

- the people who manage on-prem hardware, install new servers, replace failing servers, and switch broken disks for working ones and install base os using some ilom

- the whole process for ordering that hardware and getting it delivered on time - including knowing when it's going to be necessary

- if your on-prem had virtual servers, the people who manage and operate vmware

- if your on-prem had SAN, the people who manage and operate that SAN (and buy new disks and take care of capacity planning)

Some of those things you still have to do - for example configure firewall, or say "I want to take a snapshot of this virtual disk drive" but instead of doing a difficult technical thing, you can do it in web ui - but you still need to do what to do.

And of course, if you never had SAN and virtual servers and two data center with your team managing the interconnect between private networks, there's a lot of stuff that the Cloud could give you that you probably don't need.

Now if you move to managed redis, you're also replacing the person who installs and patches the linux the redis runs on, and the one who installs, backups and configures the redis. And you get the redis on button click, so if you suddenly need three more, you're also replacing the person who automates building redises.

You are right, that it is not that the operational support is just gone. Some of it is gone. Some of it is replace by doing cloud stuff (like thinking of buying reserved instances instead of actual physical servers). Some of it is just more efficient.

Now if any of this doesn't fit you're use case because you have too small or too large scale, then the Cloud is of course a bad idea.

Skimmed the article. Interesting that they chalk it up to basically just nostalgia. I know many do it because you can be pretty confident that old hardware/software is much less likely to be phoning home and is actually something you “own” and control as opposed to being a “service” that you are licensing.
In what way was the Capitol mob “state sanctioned”? The president has a constitutionally defined role and ordering angry mobs to sack government buildings is not part of it (and in any case he didn’t explicitly tell them to do it)

Parler is broken by design and it was predictable that it would get to this point, one way or another.

The platform would have had to be designed as decentralised system in first place, since (especially for things like this) it's the only way to survive in the long run.

I can see some argument for that. But It still makes no sense to ban parler. And you now need to filter the content of all media to prevent those people getting publicity elsewhere.

So is that the plan? Keep parler but install censors there AND in every website mod office, newspaper, TV station and radio studio?

That's a lot of work. When we could just put FBI agents on parler and have them prevent crimes with conspiracy charges.

And you still can't actually justify a ban on parler.

Introspection is hard and takes time.

I’ve found that people can spend time alone only to always fill it with activities like podcasts and reading. While not bad, they tend to add more information when sometimes what is needed is time to process existing information.

I wonder if people get new understanding or ideas while in the shower because it is just a routine, manual activity where they actually have a few minutes with no additional inputs.

A recurring joke in functional programming books is some footnote mentioning that currying was discovered by Schönfinkel but named after Curry because "schönfinkeling" didn't catch on.
You just have other technical roles to handle those areas that are treated the same as the software engineers. Or "technical" roles in the case of bureaucracy (once it gets complicated enough to need entire people to manage it).
I don't think so. At least not all of them.

Agile is not always the right approach. For highly regulated or safety critical industries, it's quite likely to be the wrong approach.

(On the other hand, Waterfall for B2C mobile apps or casual games is also almost always the wrong approach too...)
