> immortality creates conservatism

I want to refute this, but I have to back up a bit first.

The late Frank Schirrmacher (a German journalist and essayist who died in 2014) argued that German politics is getting more conservative over time because of demographics. Large-scale reforms or revolutions typically cause less prosperity in the short term (as societal institutions get rebuilt and investments in future institutions are required) and higher prosperity in the long term. That's a bargain that works well for young people: They get to reap the benefits for a long time and thus can tolerate austerity in the short term, but from the POV of an old person (e.g. age 60+), they get all the troubles and none of the benefits. Hence an older society is a more conservative society.

In other words, a significant part of conservatism [1] is caused by people knowing that they will die soonish (say, within the next 10-20 years) and therefore deciding that the best way to ensure prosperity within these remaining years is to defend the status quo as fiercely as possible. Immortality would fix this behavior, bringing personal incentives more in line with the incentives of society as a whole.

[1] The other part of conservatism can be attributed to people genuinely being unable to imagine a better society than the one they live in or genuinely not believing a better society to be attainable (whether justified or not). As far as I can see, that part of conservatism would be largely unaffected by the availability of immortality.
Here in N. California 2 Meters is king, and we have local and linked repeaters, but mostly they are quiet save for the weekly nets, and I'm fine with that.

Since we reside in a rural and coastal/mountainous County, what usually happens is Hams will set up QSO's on "open" frequencies and chat there to keep the repeaters clear for emergency use.

So they either call on 146.520 simplex or jump on a repeater and connect, then go to their other frequency to chat.

Aside from not have many privileges on HF, I avoid it, too much Noise as far as I'm concerned, and I mean the Hams.
> things seem to have devolved into grabbing things from random github repos

Devolved from what? I believe from software not having any dependencies unless they absolutely must because adding dependencies is such a royal pain. Software written in C and C++ has long been used to the system package manager being language package manager, and the (UNIX) OS being its IDE.

But Ubuntu is no picnic, either. I've seen plenty of glitches during Ubuntu 20.04 "LTS" upgrades. The most recent is it dropping the network in the middle of the 20.04.2 upgrade. Before that, it lost the default route (there was a bug with multiple interfaces.) There have been others.

in diablo 1 you had to click for every single attack of your character. In diablo2 you didn't have to do it, however most of your attacks would be special attacks, meaning you would have to click all the time anyway (except maybe if you had a skill that you could use all the time while holding). I usually played the assassin and had to click nearly as much as in diablo 1. However, it was enjoyable either way to me. More relevant for the enjoyment in "feeling" would be the sound of your hits and if it really felt like you hit them visually. In my opinion e.g. Titanquest couldn't get that feeling right. However, Diablo 3 and Path of Exile could (Torchlight is okay in that regard, but not quite as good). Still, my favorites remain Diablo1+2.

Motorola's RMM2050, a license-free MURS radio, has a built-in scrambler which I just assume is not great. It's got headset I/O so I don't think there's any reason you couldn't use a more effective scrambling headset.

I fully agree on this point, but the comment in question (sarcastically) criticized certain behaviours ("asking each other how they feel about every piece of news" and "making horrible puns at every opportunity"), so I don't think it fully falls under that threshold.
As a person who is sympathetic to the idea of challenging America's campus and media leftism, I have downvoted you, as this is not an effective approach to doing so. The venue is modestly hostile to such a goal, but from time to time will appreciate an honest point of view such as yours, provided that is solidly argued. You have brought only sweeping assertions, which you do not even bother to back up with argument. By doing so, you do harm to your cause.

It's not that far off; the Greeks have Xerxes where you might expect Xiarsa from the cuneiform. Greek has no "sh" sound, so you can't blame them for not using it.

It's important to remember that these folks are on the school board. That means they are parents with students in most cases, not teachers or educators.

They aren't expressing the opinions of teachers and staff, they are projecting their own feelings as parents.
But do you think most people agree with you?

It's clear that most people are happy to be alive. So even if you personally don't like being alive, having children is moral.

I can imagine a world where having children wouldn't be moral. It would be a world in which most people hated being alive. We don't appear to live in that world.

For me I never want to unplug because it brings me all the stress from things I have going on (and not going on) in life. This continuous online state has allowed me to putoff major life decisions.
> Brizendine chimed in to commiserate with others about the growing criticism they’ve faced over closed schools, suggesting parents really want schools to reopen so they get their babysitters back.

I thought one of the primary functions of public schools was that they were government provided daycare.

Many parents have to work outside the home (or at least they used to in the pre-lockdown era) just to pay for basics like housing and health care (which are absurdly expensive in the bay area) and can't afford to hire someone to look after their children during the day.

If we publicly and explicitly recognize the daycare function of schools, perhaps they can be improved and made into more supportive and nurturing environments.

I guess that depends on your financial situation. When I've been between jobs it has always stressed me out. I haven't been in a situation where I was worried about making rent or buying food, but I was worried about finding a new job.
This is basic aeronautical engineering. Barring the need for redundancy, turbofans are most efficient and quieter with larger intake sizes, the main limiting factor being fan tip speed.

This is the reason that the 737 had the MCAS stuff. They increased the size of the engine that caused ground clearance problems, which required shifting them.

All economies which are considered capitalist exist, and have existed, within the context of a state which regulates markets to some degree. A definition of capitalism which presupposes a pure free market isn't useful for discussing the real world - most people would consider the United States and the state of Texas to be capitalist, despite also being regulated. The incentives of neoliberalism and globalism are also unquestionably capitalist to almost everyone, the decisions to seek cheaper labor and more business-friendly regulatory environments as well as automation are made by businesses in order to reduce costs and create value for shareholders. Moving wealth to the capitalist class is literally the purpose of capitalism.

But you can replace "capitalism" with whatever you prefer in this discussion, the incentives and outcomes in the real world remain the same.
They joked around about parents wanting school back as a babysitting service. I don't think this is particularly far off or offensive.

School is a place for children to get an education, but many parents are clearly just trying to keep the kid alive and themselves sane. It's a babysitting service to them, and the education is a bonus.

It's not always the case, but often when parents really care about education, the child will reflect that behavior; and there's a lot of kids who couldn't care less.

Having heard my friends talk about schools opening up, not a single one of them has talked about how much better teachers are at teaching than they were. Or how much their child really needed to be one of 30 heads instead of getting special attention. They talk about how nice it is to have alone time.
I feel like a fairly competent Linux user and within 2 months had my Arch install broken to a point where I didn't want to invest the time to go down that "why is right click broken along with all these dependencies" rabbit hole. I went back to my mint/debian/Ubuntu safe space.

Not sure on published research, but anecdotally I've played with this and found it depends on the technique used. The most simple attacks tend to be model specific. This often means that it won't work at all on another model or will work but less effectively (the confidence of the adversarial target will increase and the true class will decrease but not necessarily to a degree that will change the classification). It can also depend on the dataset in addition to the model architecture.

The more simple ones don't even really work after basic transformations (like rotating, scaling, etc) on the target model, so those attacks are often brittle. But there are lots of techniques and some of them are more robust across more models and transformations. This sometimes has a tradeoff of causing the manipulation to the image to be more noticeable to the human eye.

Adversarial attacks are a bit of a cat-and-mouse game between new attacks and new attempts to find where they fail.
Most P25 radios also require a specialized device (keyloader) for loading encryption keys that's separate from the vendor's programming software for channels and other parameters. Used keyloaders that support AES-256 still go for $2,000+ (Motorola KVL3000+/KVL4000).

I’ve been using Linuxbrew with Ubuntu (actually Pop!_OS). Linuxbrew is macOS’s Homebrew but for Linux, maintained by the same organization and using the same codebase.

If something needs to be installed system-wide, like dev headers for ncurses or something, I’ll install it through apt. But for nearly everything else (git, Neovim, fzf, tmux, htop, ripgrep, ...) I install it though Linuxbrew.

Linuxbrew formulas are up to date, not ancient. I have yet to run into a problem where a formula only worked on macOS and not Linux. Also for homebrew core packages they publish pre-built bottles so that I don’t have to build everything from source.

It’s pretty great. Pop!_OS is pretty much zero-upkeep, and Linuxbrew has everything I need.

I’ve said it before but the only thing really missing to keep me from using Linux as my main OS with this combo is better desktop mouse sensitivity and keybindings that mimic macOS system-wide (Cmd-C, Cmd-V, ...)

I think people treat these as “soft” purely psychological issues. But childhood trauma physically changes your development and longer term physical health.

Further these issues impact a lot of the population. From the original Kaiser study:

The point is not to make it a complete self-contained film, but to focus the attention of visual artists trying to study the lighting and camera work. Including dialog of any kind would just be a distraction.

Just turn off the audio (optionally, play something else) if it distracts.
If you want news on a hot button topic it is usually better to watch it reported from far away. Less attachment leads to more information and less spin.

One complaint I have about some agile implementations is that it takes away individual ownership and reduces larger problems to a series of less interesting choices. I agree with a lot of your other points though.

Java elegant? Where you actually have the need for an IDE to be on a ultra-wide monitor because otherwise you can't read the name of a class? And you call that elegant?

Python elegant? Probably you meant easy to learn, but elegant is something else entirely. Not to mention is still interpreted (though for the life of me I can't phantom why none writes a compiler for it. Would be a huge advantage)

Haskell is the only one that I would call elegant on this list. But we were talking about modern. Haskell is 30 years old, I would not call that modern. Also Haskel and Lisp can be written (just like C macros if you want) to birth an entire different syntax if that's your kink.

>I'm familiar with the 'it doesn't affect me so you must be doing something wrong' attitude. And the dig about me not having a community... was that necessary?

I apparently didn't express myself very clearly, as I wasn't blaming you (or anyone other than the thieves) for anything. What's more, talking about creating community wasn't a dig at you either.

If I came across that way, please accept my apologies.

The primary points I wanted to make (as they were apparently obscured by my prose) were:

1. Most folks who are going to be stealing packages are those who live in your neighborhood, and if you've lived there a while, you probably have at least an inkling as to who those folks are.

2. Working with your neighbors to make sure those folks (accusations are unnecessary) are aware that people are watching and willing to take action (it's not really important whether or not the police actually do anything proactive, but that they will be involved and evidence in the form of video will be available) when such activity occurs.

>Remember, not everyone has the same experience as you and not everyone has the same resources at their disposal as you.

That's true in so many ways. I'd point out that the problem in my building was successfully addressed without the cooperation of the building management (in fact, they posted a sign in the lobby stating that they will take absolutely no responsibility for any thefts). Rather it was done by specifically addressing the issue with those most likely responsible for the thefts.

Whether or not that can or will be successful everywhere is questionable. However, it's better than doing nothing IMHO. I am most certainly not implying that you (or anyone else) are "doing nothing."

Edit: Fixed subject/verb number disagreement.
No, and we don't appreciate sarcastic imitations either, as that brings unpleasantness here while we are appreciating a better environment.
