I use a osx keyboard on my linux laptop that act as desktop, the only thing annoying is the switch between tabs (Super key on OSX, alt key on Linux)

The copy and paste in terminal was annoying at first, and used to remap it to super-c super-v but then I embraced it and doesn't seem to bother the context switch when I am back on OSX.

The only difference for me between linux and osx is the fonts.. not sure why but alas i start to get use to to the linux fonts, i used to really be bugged about it before.
I thought under previous government all isps keep logs of all internet history for two years?
Take from the few to give to the vast hordes. No chance that'll go wrong.

Quick question, why do I want to keep producing when I just get taxed to pay for those who refuse to work? So next year you've got one more mouth to feed and a lot less resources to do so.

But it's okay, print more money to give to the last guy working, quadrillions of dollars, and tax him at 99.999999% and redistribute (totally not print, not at all) those inflated dollars to everyone. We'll all be rich!
Do people really blow past 1TB easily? Even with all my pictures I don't really get past that mark. Many people I know only have a laptop and all their data on there, it's rare to see laptops with more than 1TB capacity. So apart from people with a high amount of pictures or videos I wouldn't expect many to have more than 1TB backup needs.

And further, while you maybe can make an argument that it wasn't possible ten years ago, we're headed in a very centralized direction at this point. There are basically three places where broad populations can engage in discourse/recruit/radicalize and there may be fewer in another ten years.
>If you cannot censor away opinions, if suppression of ideas doesn't work then why in exactly these kinds of articles do people bemoan it as dangerous?

Because the unintended consequences are harmful to bystanders. Probably more harmful than to the intended targets, since they're already socially ostracized for their openly bigoted views. Take, for example, the recent upswing in deplatforming. Most of the statistical data seems to suggest that the masses have become more afraid to speak openly, but it doesn't seem to have actually stopped extreme racists from saying racist things.
Wow, so many downvotes for saying that debating genocide is never okay. There's truly nothing to debate -- it's always wrong, and we would do well to kick out users who would say otherwise, lest they start organizing.

Seriously, wtf is wrong with you?
After switching development from Mac to Windows I wrote an AutoHotkey script that maps most ctrl+ combinations to alt, which is the physical location where cmd on the mac was.

so alt+c for copy, alt+v for paste etc. it solves the terminal problem AND it reduces strain on the thumb.
When Regulation Drive Ops Innovation
>There are irreversible psychological effects from opioid and amphetamine abuse, especially from a neurotoxic amphetamines like meth.

I won't disagree with that, but making drugs illegal doesn't curb use. The cost of getting arrested is less than the cost of breaking the addiction. So in essence, you get all that you described, plus a criminal record, legal costs, etc, which lead to no future, which leads to more drug use.

The fallacy is making something illegal actually prevents that thing, or even reduces it.
For me this brings to mind Formula 1 racing. Each year teams pore through the rules looking for any possible advantage they can gain within their strict letter. And each year the FIA looks at which teams managed to do this a little too well, and tweaks the rules the following season to prevent whatever they did. They also plan ahead, making significant changes to car design parameters every few years, in order to correct shortcomings in the state or trajectory of the sport. It isn't always executed perfectly, but the attempt is made and is certainly impactful.

I don't see any reason the NHL couldn't do the same. Goalie pads too long? Set a max length above the knee. Torso pads billowing too much? Specify a maximum difference between torso circumference with and without pads. Or find some other way to measurably define the problem and then regulate against it. Any issue severe enough to be a problem can be specifically defined and therefore corrected.

And if necessary, you can make larger changes as well, like F1 is doing with ground effects this year to allow cars to follow more closely without sacrificing so much downforce. For example (not saying this would be a good change, just an example of the sort of large change that's possible) the pad shape could be redefined with a bulge at the top so that they wouldn't lie completely flat on the ice.

These problems are solvable; it just requires a willingness to continually tweak the minutia of the rules when things aren't going as desired.
For me, it really helps writing the documentation. I usually come back and change a feature while writing. I dislike explaining things to people, so I change it as much as possible so it becomes as easy and quick to explain.

My bank (ING) just cut me off completely when I was outside Australia. Couldn't get my replacement card sent to me (was just lucky my listed address still had my family living at it), couldn't ever log in to the app again, I was just done. They have no system for people outside their home country and their solution to any problem is to fly home. Unbelievable. Especially for one of the biggest multinational banks in the world.
Mice don't get alz. So they have bred strains of mice that get similar symptoms and try the medications on that.

The day I have to ask my significant other how to spend money I earn is the day I will quit that relationship. I get that some couples throw everything on a pile and go a pseudo-democratic way of spending things, but I have never understood this meme of males telling all the world that they have to ask their wives for permission to spend money. We're in the 21st century now. She is supposed to not be dependant on him, and the same should apply in reverse.
Moved to Win after a decade on a Mac, this doesn't make sense, most Mac keys are not much better and you are just used to it, rather install AHK, something which no other platform has, and remap keys in a sane way.
There are many already existing HVDC transmission lines, e.g.:

It’s not a “collection” of remappings, it is in fact a general modifier key swap w/ dynamic modifier key swapping for a variety of Terminal apps, layered w/ an additional set or collection of remaps for code editors geared towards developers as well.

I’m sure your project is good but I think Kinto is better fleshed out than you’d assume.

Also your Windows key, in Kinto, tends to land on the physical Ctrl key during a normal GUI app or non-terminal. Ctrl+P is otherwise on your Cmd key location.. as are all primary modifier combos tend to be.

It does not interfere with or lack any particular remapping that I am aware of.

The EU and US data centers are completely separated. You can't even use both from the same account. To change, you need to open a completely new account selecting EU at the start.

offer PC keyboard layouts as an option on their machines

They actually do/did, in a combination of custom shortcuts in system settings, plus an obscure and ancient .plist to change input navigation shortcuts. But Electron ruined everything, because instead of understanding the underlying platform's input methods, apps like Slack hard-code mac-ish keyboard shortcuts and behavior of home/end keys.
The ROI of reducing time to market is huge, whereas I don't think I've ever seen thinking things through at design time deliver any real benefits (not even a reduced rate of outages).

Many of the variations are also structurally unsound.

Regarding modern architecture, and design like this, I honestly think there's a measure of "since it's so ugly, it must be avant-garde so I'll pretend to like it". I mean statistically speaking, if ugliness wasn't a goal in itself, wouldn't modern architects at least sometimes come up with beautiful designs?

> Some people just are better at changing their doing-hat to the editing- or evaluating-hat in a rapid fashion than others

I only recently realised that, for me, "dev mode" and "product mode" are entirely distinct. I'd been trying to mush them together in a haphazard way, with haphazard results.

In my opinion, this is a really important insight. It's analogous to the De Bono thinking hats, divergent/convergent thinking, etc – distinct phases of cognition that can't happen simultaneously.

Speaking of fun things named Bangor, there was Naval Submarine Base Bangor, the primary sub base for the US Navy strategic nuclear missile submarine fleet... of the Pacific ocean!

> And of the two sides, only one is actively trying to restrict the freedom of people based on skin, religion and sex. Only one side is arguing for violence against weaker people, like fugitives and migrants.

I sincerely don't think either of the two sides is advocating for those things (ignoring a very few extremists - on both sides - with malicious intent, who don't represent the majority).

I do see those issues mentioned a lot in the public debate, but mostly in the context of straw man arguments repeated as a sort of battle cry, and to denigrate "the other side".

I'm not even sure if you're talking about the racist left or the racist right and that is mildly amusing.

I don't know a lot (any?) racist right folks, but I know a shitload of racist left and they ALL publicly, verbally, in writing, rail against racism in one breath, and then shit on white people in the next.

I would also consider these people who have these extremist ideas victims.

Society has never had your back. In so many other areas including this one. What we have is interest groups as people within society. And these groups will always have different and sometimes directly opposing ideas.

Thinking that society or even the law has your back is an error in logic.

Again, about toxic social spaces. There is much reason to place Twitter & Facebook as toxic just as much as Parler was. Platforms aren't necessarily toxic, people are. And to be frank, this is a media consumption choice. If you unintentionally visit Gab today and feel the majority of the content does not align with your values and beliefs. Close the tab and visit another platform. Freedom of speech needs to encouraged in any modern society and should be protected as a human right. Anyone who tries to influence your thinking by diluting this, is seeking to control and weaken your mind for their own gain.
This is somewhat like saying 'mountains are just the greyish areas on a map, why should they be hard to climb?'

We know that matter attracts other matter, at the macro level. As this article shows, we've been able to detect the gravitational pull of tiny masses (tiny by macro standards). Since the macro world is made out of the quantum world, QM must somehow explain how gravity arises for particles.

Until it does, there is a fundamental piece missing from our understanding of the universe, so any conclusion we draw from QM or GR must be taken with a large grain of salt. You can't say 'matter is excitation in a quantum field, why should it attract', that is exactly the problem: we know it attracts, so if e citations in a quantum field don't attract, it must mean that matter is something else.

Note: mass is generally defined by E=mc^2, where energy is defined by conservation laws.

Comparing across different hospitals in different geophysical regions isn't comparing like for like.

Supposedly men are twice as like to have a heat attack than men, but when women have great attacks the are generally more severe, with women being 50% more likely to have another within 6 months.

Maybe female doctors are left treating less severe cases, or maybe they work in hospitals better resources?

I understand the need for wire tapping and for the police to be able to do their job. What I don't understand is the no need for a warrant. Also the list of public bodies who can access this data includes the health and safety executive, the pensions regulator, the environment agency.

I see no reason why bodies like this can have access to sensitive data about individuals without requiring a warrant.

Totally happens in Sweden
There are transgenic mice where they have spliced genes to cause disease, but to me this is not a probable way to learn how to cure Alzheimer's.

The reason is, there are very limited choices in which mouse line to use. You basically have to pick from a menu of transgenic mice from some supplier. So you would have to be lucky enough that a supplier breeding transgenic mice just happens to have picked, with an educated lucky guess, a combination of genes that expresses a disease enough like Alzheimer's when spliced into a non-human host that something that has some effect on the mouse disease also has an effect on the human disease, compounded with being lucky enough to find a treatment for the mouse disease at all, compounded with the luck of picking that mouse line from the menu of dozens of mouse lines with human genes spliced in.

So lets say a time traveler from the year 2321 hands you a vial with the cure for Alzheimer's in it, and you want to test if it works. So you open the mouse catalog, and you see a dozen transgenic mice choices. Lets say, by some cosmic coincidence, one of those mouse lines out of the dozen choices, again by luck since it's unlikely that out of a couple of spliced genes they would ever happen upon a mouse line that it would ever work, has the right gene that coincidentally the human cure will also work on that line of mice. By far the most likely outcome (11/12 times) is you order mice, they are acting like they have a brain disease, you inject them with the future cure and it doesn't help them at all. This is when you know for a fact you do have a cure for humans. This is why I'm saying these mouse studies are a waste of money and research effort. If you have a cure for Alzheimer's the mice are very unlikely to show improvement, and things that improve the behavior of the mice are incredibly unlikely to work in humans.

So why do they do it? Well, there is a big pool of money available to study Alzheimer's and there are catalogs with mice in them, and you can inject mice with whatever random thing you want without a lot of 'having a reason it might work'. It's like the guy looking for his keys under a street light. When you ask him if that's where he lost his keys he says "No, I lost them way over there." Ok why not look where the keys might be? "It's too dark to see over there". In this case, it's "we don't know how to do an experiment that might be useful but there is funding and we can order mice".
The right supports environmentalism and healthcare. They disagree with specific leftist plans.

The official right wing position towards the left is "your outcome would be lovely, but it isn't worth the excessive cost to getting there".

There isn't a sizeable lobby who is "against environmentalism", for example. There is a huge lobby who just doesn't see how a comfortable living standard can be achieved without fossil fuels.
> The only reason anyone pays attention to them is because of the aura of prestige that they accrue from coming from a famous designer.

Then again, aren’t famous designers famous—at least in part—because they are good at designing? I think it’s reasonable to pay attention to their designs, or to expect them to be any good.

In this case, though, I feel like your ‘aura’ explanation makes some sense, because Donald Judd is mostly famous as a visual artist. His minimalist visual art isn’t really concerned with the practical details a furniture designer might worry about, and in the context of furniture design his modernist aesthetic is nothing remarkable. So I guess the aura of his visual art and his aura as an artist would play a big role for people who acquire these chairs.

Adding further to my previous comment: What if we really need to do regex, say replace "f.." with "bar"? The input sequences then look like this:

On Vim: <Shift>+; (:) <Shift>+5 (%) s/f../bar/g <Enter> (16 key strokes)

On Emacs: <Alt>+<Shift>+, (M-<) Ctrl+Alt+Shift+5 (C-M-%) f.. <Enter> bar <Enter> <Shift>+1 (!) (17 key strokes)

Although, the number of key strokes are close to each other for both Vim and Emacs, I am pretty sure most beginners would feel there is a slightly increased cognitive overhead involved in Emacs when compared to Vim. The Vim input sequence is just : to invoke the command line mode, followed by an ed-style substitute command. However, the Emacs input sequence is M-< (beginning-of-buffer), C-M-% (query-replace-regexp), pattern, replacement-string and ! (to prevent further prompts). For an experienced Emacs user, all of this becomes muscle memory and becomes as efficient, if not more, as the Vim equivalent pretty soon.

Also, there is evil-mode in Evil for those who really want the Vim-editing experience along with the power of extensibility that Emacs offers.
