GM is still different. Automobile manufacturing is incredibly capital-intensive and it is incredibly difficult to weather reductions in demand. They still have to pay for the factories and equipment, regardless of of how many people are buying cars. They have to keep suppliers going during lean times because they can't manufacture every part they use. And they also have separation agreements with both dealerships and most workers, making it costly to reduce production capacity.

It's trivial to send an auto manufacture into a financial tailspin. Frankly, it's amazing that so many manufactures have survived for this long.

In my experience, it is relatively plausible that the animals are sold in a single location, that far away. Granted, this is absolutely anecdata, but it does prove a point.

My experience: For decades, my father, my grandfather, and my great grandfather sold cattle via the Chicago markets. This is a trip of around 1000 km. This also originally started when our part of the US would have been no different than a very backwater part of a developing nation. No roads, no rail, no infrastructure, really, until you got to within 400-500 km of Chicago from where we live. And yet, they moved cattle that far to one single marketplace.
How thoughtful of you! It's funny though that people like you never show up when the accused doesn't have an army of lawyers. In those instances, no one ever goes "guys, our desire to punish the accused must be tempered by the fact htat memories are not reliable evidence! Maybe she kinda wanted to be raped and can't remember it"

> He or she, depending what the person looks like.

Well, that may be perceived as insulting by the addressee, and they might have a point. The previous consensus was not to presume offense. Too bad we can't all efficiently communicate in a polite language free from irrelevant embedded idiosyncratic perceptual distinctions, so as to avoid giving and taking offense. Yet for some reason we are required instead to recognize new distinctive pronouns and use them consistently or face ostracism. A forced consensus is a false consensus.

> the same way I'm not going to force someone else to refer to me as "my lord".

And there's a good point. Forcing others to use a form of arbitrarily self-determined address and banding together to ostracize and punish the uncooperative is uncomfortably similar to just plain old elitist bullying. I understand the thesis is to show respect for the addressee, but insisting and threatening is to transform it into a transaction of dominance and submission. Some argue that to respond by identifying as a surface-to-air missile is just a glib insult, not satirical criticism of the implied superiority expressed as reductio ad absurdum.

Except with the monoculture of systemd how can experiments be done with other approaches? Nowadays it seems like "use systemd or GTFO".

And how many file systems does the Linux support? One can try an approach and see how it works and others can perhaps copy it.

How does another approach towards OOM (or anything else in the kitchen sink that systemd handles) get traction when the 800lb/400kg of RH/IBM is bankrolling The One True Way™.

This is incorrect. It does not have commands to pull from other app stores and Canonical has stated they have no intention of adding external repositories of any kind. It does have commands to manually install a pre-downloaded snap package, but you have to put `--dangerous` on the CLI and you won't get auto-updates for that manually installed package either.

Most airliners have the engines under the wings (and therefore under the CG). Thus, most airliners will pitch up when thrust is applied. The 737 Max has a higher thrust line (which means closer to the CG) than prior 737s. The nose will pitch up less than other 737s when applying power. The problem isn't pitching up when applying power.

The problem is that at high angles of attack, the nacelles start to produce lift, and with the more forward position, they cause a greater pitch up force than previous versions.
That's an unfair comparison, because these people all had a Mediterranean diet.

Being a regular listener to This Week in Virology where they've had a number of guests on who discussed this. The thing is the Wuhan Institute of Virology was a normal lab collaborating with researchers around the world. I'm sure it's possible that the local books could be cooked by the government but that doesn't change the fact that the collaborators also have the books. If they'd known that this particular virus would escape then obviously they wouldn't have shared info about it. But how would they know that unless they planned to release it? And planning to release it doesn't make sense for all the normal reasons.

I contributed to plenty of open source projects as a minor, interacting with maintainers and other people in the communities around them.

Grooming and abuse is a real problem. If Stallman thinks it can be justified to sleep with a child if consent is given, then he wouldn't act to defend a child in that situation if they were being preyed upon unless it was clear to him it was abuse.

That's not good enough. There should be no wiggle room because abusers can abuse that. That's why these laws exist, and that is the standard we should hold projects to, to allow children to safely contribute.
They could tell ahead of time "This guy will live a long time; lets make them a scholar?" That seems doubtful.

Uhhh, that seems perfectly sufficient to me. Play stupid games (like relying on undocumented APIs), win stupid prizes (like watching everything break when those APIs change). Private interfaces should be used as a last resort, and with the full understanding that - being private - they have no obligation to be "stable".

Me too -- I live in Sublime Text most days. Hard to argue that VSCode wins on dev features, and most of my fellow developers use it for that reason. But I can't get past the speed; Sublime Text does everything instantly, while in VS Code, everything is just slightly laggy.

To each their own, I guess, but given how much of my day editing text, it's hard to want to use a text editor that has noticeable lag. (Cue the usual rants about latency in 2021 on multi-GHz machines)

I definitely understand that criticism w.r.t. all of the systemd-verse replacement tools.

I'm not an expert. I'm just a software dev and free software nut who wants a free software OS.

But (serious question), why does it matter that systemd has an ntp daemon or that it subsumed udev?

You say, disparagingly, that it is tightly-coupled and opaque (binary).

Why is loosely coupled better in these cases specifically?

Weren't `mount`, `ntpd`, `udev`, etc all compiled C code already? How does systmed make those service more opaque?

Everyone seems to hate journald. I'll go ahead and join in the chorus and say that it sounds really bad. But do we have to throw the baby out with the bath water? What else about systemd is actually worse than what we had before?

What if other animals send ambassadors to us constantly in the hopes that they will find one human who can understand their language well enough so that the issues facing the rest of the animal kingdom have a voice with those powerful enough to enact meaningful change?

Yeah, except even that has not happened over the long history of Stallman's bad behavior. People close ranks and support him. So finally he goes and defends pedophilia or whatever right in the middle of a huge scandal about academia's links to a child sex trafficker, and that puts him over the top. This is exactly what I'm talking about! The time for Stallman to sit down and write an apology for his actions was years ago. That ship has sailed.

I use sublime.txt everyday. The main purpose is reading, editing, searching a “scratch.txt” file I have been prepending to for the last 11 years. Sublime loads, saves, and searches it better than any other text editor. I have found it’s a helpful way to save random lists, notes, links, and common chunks of code.

It’s also my go to for wrangling weird txt.

Why do you clam up so hard against the possibility that there’s progress and potential on computers learning?

The fact that you feel compelled to ask that question suggests to me that you won't approve of the answer.

What currently passes for "learning" is mostly just data collection and pattern matching --- as strictly prescribed by software. This is certainly useful but any sign of "intelligence" in this process still resides in the mind of the software developer --- not the computer.

Not only do we not know how to build truly "intelligent" software, we don't know if it's even possible.

Certainly true, but we now have roads to all the "best" spots, sometimes with parking lots and paved trails. And long lines of cars waiting to get into the parks. There has to be a better way.

Local example - Great Falls National Park (VA side). Proximity to DC means it's a popular place. Fine, the NPS keeps it pretty tidy. But, there are often cars backed up for a mile in every direction - the single entrance is a major choke point for traffic. This is despite the pay booth being a good ways down from the intersection - the cars just back up onto surrounding roads. The park is often full, so lots of visitors end up turned away (where they then move to one of 2-3 nearby parks with less facilities and ruin those with trash and feces).
That's incredibly depressing actually. Someone getting fired over such a minor joke because they didn't run tests related to localization is what is depressing there.

Late to the conversation, but... I think unit vs integration testing is a good model for comparison. When I'm working in a REPL, I'm trying out individual functions to ensure that they provide the desired results (unit). Most functions are referentially transparent (if not totally pure), so this allows for fast/easy experimentation. If I want to test major code paths in a program, I can call "driver functions" or primary code paths to explore the results (integration). None of this is a substitute for real unit/integration testing, but it makes for some very rapid development. I worked in a lot of "REPL" (Python included) before I had the creme de la creme experience of using Clojure with Spacemacs and Cider. It's truly a different beast, and I'd withhold judgement until you've tried it (or something very comparable).

Maybe you missed the "I would rather" part, offering an alternative.

The question is not Apple's right to control speech on their platform. It is their hypocrisy in wanting to control speech in free countries and at the same time cozying up and doing the bidding of authoritarian states. You cannot have it both ways with out looking the fool. Impose ethical standards in all cases or none.
Agreed, but systemd is leaning very much towards "every problem should be solved the systemd way". I'm totally fine with the idea of all distros having better oom behavior (which I hope is what systemd-oomd does), but I don't like how that implies having to use systemd for a lot of other problems as well.

These everyday people did not pay either. That wealthy guy just brought them in by paying large sum. So I think this "being first" part is disingenuous / propaganda. I think we might take a while to wait till "ordinary people" could actually afford such trip.

Abuse isn't necessarily required to surpass any caps. If you have teens, they will be streaming their games and such. They can stream for hours at a time which quickly adds up. Discord video streams average about 5GB/hr. I was often passing the 1.2TB/mo cap on Comcast and had to negotiate a plan that allowed for speed and no cap. That is even before factoring in game updates which as massive these days. I was under the impression that by now games would dynamically render textures using formulas, but alas... the games are getting exponentially bigger. And gaming platforms are not optimizing downloads to share between users on a LAN, so update bandwidth usage is multiplied by number of people playing the games in the home. I share some blame on that one. Back in the day when it was just me and I played only one game, I too stayed well below any limits.

> Font size strongly relates the sizing of all your other interface elements, which are naturally defined in logical pixels (or "px"). You can't design your way around that.

A huge part of responsive design is the art of designing your way around that. In most cases (not all, but most), don't define your interface elements in pixels (or any other logical unit that is unrelated to font size).

I also see native apps fail at this, but it's not because it's an unsolveable problem, it's because a lot of native apps are behind the times on responsive design.

Normally I'd criticize native UI toolkits here as well, but the truth is that for many toolkits (including GTK and QT) this hasn't been a problem for a while; most popular UI toolkits support font-based widths for layout. Designers just have to take advantage of those features.

First of all a "child" is defined as the age between birth and puberty, so you might want to update your own usage of that word.

Secondly, the bigger part of the world seems to agree nowadays that 16 seems to be a reasonable age of consent.

US is very conservative in this regards, depending on the state. So basically it's OK that a 50 year old has sex with a 16 year old in 1 state, but when you cross the state border, two 17 year olds having sex is illegal.

So you claim that a person pointing out these absurdities should not be allowed in a leadership position?
