It works. The windows theme is a little dated, but Windows users are used to a random mishmash of inconsistent styles, so likely won't cause complaints. On Mac, well actually I haven't personally tried it on Mac, just Windows/Linux, but I hear a lot of vocal complaints about GTK not fitting in from mac users. I'm not sure this means it's worse than on Windows, I think Mac users just expect more.

Even in the OP's hypothetical that you're responding to, one of the participants lied! We all can surely think of reasons why someone would do that currently with the benefit of conversational ambiguity. And I see no evidence that any of those reasons would go away by making the request for "friendship time" or whatever explicit.

In fact, since narcissists clearly exist, adding that level of explicit request to casual conversations could easily make people more mendacious. Compare current blow-off of, "Yeah, narcissist, maybe we can get together for a beer if I ever get a break from my job," to the explicit, "Yes, narcissist, I agree to Zoom twice a month." Nobody's going to want to do the latter, but the narcissist will certainly make the request so an explicit lie is now required in return.
No, the post above is exactly correct.

Ejecting from an aircraft is an absolute last resort, and you stand a good chance of dying or being badly injured if you have to do it, and even if you survive the ejection, the parachute ride, and the landing, it's a better than even chance you're going to be captured and beaten, tortured, or killed on the ground. That's if you land on land of course -- if you land in the water you might just drown or never be found.

Make a decision to be 'all in' on doing it and being genuinely interested in people.

That might mean finding venues where you're statistically likely to meet people who you will find interesting. However, don't judge a book by its cover. It'll definitely require putting yourself out there. If that worries you, it gets easier the more you do it. I can't stress enough that you're going to need to mentally "burn the boat" and have total commitment.

I know that lockdown is currently a hurdle, so maybe think about where you could go once things open up. Meetup.com is a great place to start.

Also consider using lockdown to be more interesting yourself. Learn something you've always wanted to learn. Try reading 10 books on one subject.

I wonder what the stats are of the VSCode remote plugin users but I would wager a cup of water that the majority of users who go this route are dealing with Windows in some fashion. I’d never heard of such witchcraft until I moved to an organization that, for whatever reason, has deemed that Windows laptops are the mandatory choice for web development. WSL does have significant problems (and even when it works you deal with the idiosyncrasy of the magic it does to interact with the Windows environment : try installing docker solely in your wsl2 environment and you’ll find it still looks for an .exe executable or have fun figuring out why some so trivial doesn’t work like it used to because it depended on systemd which is purposely absent from operating systems you might install on WSL2). In truth using WSL2 is a trick, and can add headaches to anyone who doesn’t want to deal with the added abstraction of running another operating system that interacts with your native operating system in ways neither were originally built for. That’s not to say that WSL2 isn’t impressive. It has the ahah that parallels, codeweavers, or wine (to name a few) kind of all bring when they work. And when they don’t it’s also time to get lost in the weeds. But now, especially in its infancy, WSL2 has problems. Why wouldn’t it? It’s new to Windows offerings and relatively obscurely tested given the audience is a small fraction of what they’re up to.

This solution of VSCode + Docker containers seems to sidestep the whole WSL issue as WSL is no longer necessary for development if you’re containerizing everything anyway. While, I must admit, I like the idea of a project having the same steps for all users regardless of platform (to each his own), I don’t believe the majority of people would like to ditch their IDE of choice for the one tool that does this somewhat seamlessly. I’m probably not characterizing this well as I’m new to the workflow and I like to customize my own terminal workflow - which from what I’ve seen this doesn’t lend well to. Lemme just say it - I like the Linux cli workflow more than Windows and have since the beginning. But that’s just me. I’m sure their are plenty of peeps who feel the opposite. What I don’t like and I feel I share the same annoyance is now having to know both Windows and Linux command line interfaces.

Yes you’ve stepped into a rant, gotcha!

Here’s to hoping Microsoft goes full retard and strips out Windows and just maybe go the Edge route: shifting to putting a pretty face on Linux. That would be awesome, I’d buy Microsoft’s distro, frickin base it off Debian and let’s get this show going! Apple ain’t really doing anything special at this point - so your move Satya!

I'm aware of that. And that structure favors one side more than another. This is not a controversial statement - the numbers (y'know, facts and logic) back that up.

States are lines on a map. In the current setup they have more influence than the actual people living in those states. Do you seriously not see how that can lead to disproportionate representation of some views?

Well, actually, they said that it could pass on irreperable harm, but that was somewhat mitigated by the fact that much (but not all) of the harm could be addressed by money damages.

You're conflating two different issues.

Some of the specific, concrete planning of violence may have taken place on Facebook. That doesn't appear to have been taking place as much on Parler -- possibly because it was less private -- but there was plenty of generally violent rhetoric on Parler, just less specific. "We should kill this person" (Parler) versus "Let's all meet up with our guns here" (Facebook).

Yes, it is to see them have fun. The cats definitely appear to enjoy it. My cat has learned to recognize the sound of me opening the tub of catnip and will come running across the house to get some.

Good for them? Maybe. It's certainly not bad for them. This has been very much studied. Cats can't overdose on catnip. At worst, after 5-15 minutes of sniffing and rolling around in it, they stop responding to it.

> when we view other drugs with such different eyes.

Because most drugs humans take are harmful. The hard stuff like meth, cocaine, heroin, etc., is easy to overdose on. Alcohol can make some people belligerent and can easily be deadly. Tobacco causes cancer, among other things depending on how you consume it. Marijuana is the least harmful, but as far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out on whether or not it's as harmless as people think it is, especially if smoked.

But catnip? It's completely harmless. The cat will sniff or eat it, roll around in it, and appears to experience euphoria, but there are no health dangers in it.
> DCS FA18 cockpit

One thing that's particularly impressive about the F/A-18 is that the Spec available in DCS (give or take a few features) is almost the same as the first batch from the 80s UI wise.

In 1983, serving alongside the almost completely analog/60s F-14, the F/A-18 had 3 pretty modern MFDs. Definitely more advanced than most Star Wars cockpits, for example.

Lotus Esprit is an absolute classic. They've made some great cars.
I don't really understand this feature creep argument against systemd. I mean, this is not like this is a feature included in PID1, it is a new binary so a separate feature (and I am pretty sure that you can choose to not compile it too if you don't want, like almost any other systemd feature with the exception of systemd itself and journald).

Also, the way I understand systemd nowadays is it isn't an init system, it is an API for Linux systems that abstracts low level features in kernel in a consistent way (either using unit files or systemd C interface). It has an init system because it needs control from early boot so it can offer a nice interface for services. Ditto for dbus, mount system, timers, logging, etc. You can use as much or as little as you want, but if you choose not too you need to invent your own way (that was what most distros used to do before systemd).

Also, integration between those subsystems (say, init systemd and cron) was basically writing glue code, while in systemd world they're meant to be integrated (unit files of any type can depend of each other, so you can have a service that depends on a timer, a disk mount and a udev event, for example).

So yeah, you may not like the way that systemd does things, but at least use valid arguments like the fact that things are more opaque (but this is understandable, this is an abstraction layer), or that the declarative approach of systemd makes some things harder (true enough, but you can always fallback to use scripts and you still have all the power of systemd dependency system).
Your passwords are cached locally on the devices. You can export your vault too. If their public service goes down (or if you don't want to use it in the first place) you can stand up your own server (there are at least 2 common implementations) and point your clients at it.
Although Fastmail in general is offering an excellent service, their support can be too slow in an emergency.

But that's sort of a straw-man representation of what (most) Bitcoin adherents see as the future of Bitcoin / crypto. I don't think anyone serious expects the raw blockchain to power every single transaction in real time, rather it's seen as a mechanism to supplant clearing houses. Consider that every night, banks submit batch files to a network of clearing houses in order to electronically transact US dollars (credit cards, Venmo, etc are all just abstractions on top of this ultimate step). The slow, asynchronous blockchain transaction is meant to be a replacement for that step.

The steel-man version of the Bitcoin/crypto future is that most people would use trust-based institutions to perform instant transactions (like credit cards and Venmo), just that the ultimate step involves an hour long blockchain transaction rather than a days-long ACH batch file. The fact that the Blockchain also enables individual point-to-point payments (albeit slowly) in a trust-less way is more of a replacement to having to mail somebody an envelope/briefcase full of cash, which is currently the only way one can transact if one is blacklisted by the centralized institutions. And depending on your political leanings, you might still prefer to use centralized payments on top of Bitcoin/crypto instead of on top of USD because with the former, there's little room for funny business by central bank reserve messing with the supply of money.
A bit off-topic, but after reading this and a few other court decisions (for example in the context of contesting election results), it strikes me that they are pretty well-written.

I don't think that's a fair characterization. Most safe rust wrapper libraries are built in two layers: 1. Map the api's raw interface into raw rust types, usually with a simplistic code generator; this enables the bindings to closely track upstream api changes. 2. Use that raw interface to build a wrapper library that translates the api to use rustlike idioms and expose safe constructs.

This seems to be #1 only for now, which is fair because winapi is enormous. Also there may be many ways to expose a safe rust interface all with different tradeoffs, by leaving #2 open they don't lock in a single strategy prematurely. That said I am looking forward to a safe wrapper as well.

> isolating and pushing out so called "deplorables" is escalating the current American political conflicts to serious violence.

Can you provide references that back up this claim?

Bear in mind that the deplatforming began after January 6th of this year, so any escalating violence which may have occurred on or before that point is not evidence of your claim. And after the events of the 6th I imagine it’d be difficult to compose a compelling argument that not deplatforming prevents violence.

In any case, the only news on the topic that I’ve seen has been that election misinformation on Facebook/Twitter has dropped by 70% since the deplatforming happened on those platforms[1]. That isn’t directly about violence, but presumably will result in less alt-right radicalisation, since their ability to reach new people is reduced. Though obviously it’s much too early to have a good understanding of the long-term impact of actions like this.

Which is why I’m so curious about how you’re making statements like this as if they’re plain facts. I’m super interested to see any references you can provide!

> This would be an issue, but I dispute point 1 because the leaders of the tech industry would very much like to wash their hands of politics and be seen as neutral platforms so they can save money on moderation.

No, they'd like to be approachable by the broadest groups possible (or really the broadest set of ad-viewing groups possible). Calls to violence are unappealing to most people. This is the reason unmoderated platforms fail: people don't enjoy spending time on them. To be palatable to normal people, the sites need moderation, which they do, to appeal to users.

> Most of these same platforms pretty much had an anything goes unless it's illegal attitude from the time they were started until a few years ago when they started getting a lot of political blowback and blame for "helping Trump" by not moderating more.

This is completely untrue. Here's one of the first Trump related posts I can find: https://www.fastcompany.com/3054611/when-does-hate-speech-cr..., notably "Though it apparently violated Facebook’s own internal guidelines, Trump’s video was not removed".

They've been, since the beginning, getting blowback for making exceptions for politicians instead of evenhandedly applying their policies. What you've seen over the past 5 years is simply the platforms growing in influence (and thus controversy).

The act of not moderating trump when he violated existing policies was an attempt to appear neutral to conservative users, while actually biasing to more loosely moderate a particular conservative. I can only hope platforms have learned from their mistakes.
It probably has something to do with the difficulty of maintaining a worldwide spatial index otherwise - it's really, really hard to keep the index consistent and up-to-date with a bespoke product, and every time I've worked on GIS the solution for more than a few square km of data has been "stick it in a database so we can index it."

This reminds me of an old episode of This American Life:

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/522/tarred-and-feathered

There's one group of people that is universally tarred and feathered in the United States and most of the world. We never hear from them, because they can't identify themselves without putting their livelihoods and reputations at risk. That group is pedophiles. It turns out lots of them desperately want help, but because it's so hard to talk about their situation it's almost impossible for them to find it. Reporter Luke Malone spent a year and a half talking to people in this situation, and he has this story about one of them.

I remember it being a pretty remarkable episode, and kind of heartbreaking. More insightful and constructive than the usual tone of moral outrage that the subject is treated with.

From reading your article, it seems that Twitter's policy changed to allow discussion of the subject with the caveat that pedophilia could not be promoted or glorified. That seems pretty reasonable, and isn't a dog-whistle for anything.
