I personally think the better solution is going back to how copyright worked pre 1976, where copyright had to be positively asserted to exist and everything else went into the public domain. I'm also of the position that a 'make available' clause needs to be added to ensure that a work is constantly available during its period of copyright; moreover if the rightsholder should fail to make it available for longer than a set period of time it reverts to the public domain permanently. Finally I think the default period for copyright should be 23years (in line with patents) with progressively more expensive renewals based on the annual income of the property, the goal being to encourage people to let things go into the public domain unless they are extremely profitable.
I am in the same boat, I dropped all Microsoft products in 2014. There is literally nothing I do with my PC for which I need Microsoft products. It's very unfortunate to keep seeing these things pop up. It's like MS does not care or value the users of the machines and their operating systems.
It doesn't seem to apply in this particular case, but it's also important to note that having a trademark is different from having a registered trademark.

Weather moves in cycles longer than human lives. You cannot rely upon personal experience, to know of local weather is truely unusual.

I think that's a bit reductionist. A Milka bar is not that different than a Hershey bar, and snobs turn up their nose at them in both continents.
As a long time Windows user that tried Linux in the past with no avail, I finally found my love in Manjaro KDE. Because it is based on Arch, it is closer to cutting edge which is a good thing wrt hardware support. I especially love that you can just switch kernels from the GUI.
The good thing is that it Arch with safety belts, with a wide array of curated packages. If you feel more adventurous, you can also reach out for arch packages from the same package manager.

Being on KDE means I am ahead of Windows.

I have no experience with Nvidea drivers, but I see a lot of hits at disabling the Nouveau driver. But again, this might be solved with running a more recent kernel.

It's not as simple as Windows, but my time investment to read the release notices is minimal. An other benefit is that your system doesn´t slow as your os install ages.

This depends on your country. In many countries they are.

Also even in countries were the undergrad system is intended to be broader (e.g. US, Canada), politicians typically discuss it as if it were a job training system.
Exactly, the biggest single advantage of OO is the ability to create and manipulate insanely complicated data structures simply and easily.

Because it's a way to define a whole bunch of methods AND assign all aspects of thinking about the state of the data to those methods to the author... it's a brilliant tool for designing some insane complexity. Which is exactly what you need for MVC paradigms.

There are multiple tools and they are for different jobs, imagine that.

I really hope it's not too late to prevent that, but if we wanted to colonize Antarctica, we'd pretty much have to get rid of the ice anyway so we can grow plants there and access the natural resources laying underground.

Otherwise, we'd be stuck eating krill and penguins, and I don't know how I'd feel about that. Vegetarians surely would not like that.
The price seems to be ~$3.90 to produce chicken breast. Given that I regularly find chicken breast in a store for $1.99, I'll assume that's still ~3x as costly as just farm raising chickens. It will be interesting if subsidies can change this though. The negative externalities of raising animals must be huge. The jobs tied up in these industries are enormous as well though.

(Smart)phones and tablets are not computing devices any more than a refrigerator. You cannot do any real work on them. Even finding a text editor, let alone editing, is a challenge. Other stuff like SW development or CAD/CAE is the same.

I’m all in favour of this for climate change and animal welfare reasons, but I don’t see how it’s a national security concern in e.g. Europe and America, given they already encourage farming overproduction specifically because food is so important, and that almost everywhere could already be more effective in how many people a given unit of land area or fresh water can support, both by encouraging vegetable-based diets and separately with more poly-tunnels, greenhouses, and aeroponics.

Same. After my third reinstall of Windows 10 thanks to broken forced updates I fully switched and I don't think I'll ever go back.

Sorry to be pedantic, but `[,,,]` creates holes instead of undefined. They are different, because for example `[,,,].forEach(() => console.info(1))` doesn't do anything, but `[undefined,undefined,undefined,].forEach(() => console.info(1))` prints three "1"'s.

You're right. Plain bearings provide plenty of contact surface for thermal conduction. Though, thermal expansion will tend to increase clearance and decrease contact area (ignoring differences in thermal expansion between dissimilar materials).
You said deplorables, not me. Clinton is as useless as the rest of them[1]. Maybe follow up and ask for an example before assuming I'm hitting on your favorite political bugaboo or part of The Other Team. Your reply is an example of the problem.

You said half, not me. You have literally no insight into what I mean and you think you know everything about me because of the media you consume. This is the problem.

To be clear: I don't think the noisy few are representative. I think most people don't have strong opinions on anything. That's not great, but I can work with them. But I can't tell whether they're just politically zoned out or waiting for something in a comment to latch on to for an unhinged rant until spending time getting to know them.

It's not impossible to run gog games through the proton compatibility layer of steam. In short:

1. Download gog install files into the same directory

2. Add the install executable as a non-steam game, and enable proton compatibility before starting it up.

3. Run the installer and complete the installation. Gog installers typically give the option to run the game from the installer, but that will only work once.

4. Find the path of the installed game, and the working directory of that executable by searching in ~/.steam

5. Edit the entry created from 2. with this exec path and working dir, and look up possible args from protondb.com
The new process is not perfect and will not address all problems with biased racial outcomes in FCPS education. Many of the activists who support changing the admissions system actually support eliminating TJ entirely and rethinking how access to accelerated education works. Why is there a limit to the number of students who can get these experiences?

However, as somebody who has personal experience working with this for the accelerated programs starting in 3rd grade, it is precisely the same people who complain about policies trying to address inequities earlier in education. This makes the argument that the changing TJ admission policies won't address root issues seem very disingenuous.

If you want to help change inequities in early accelerated education, then there are places where you can help. Since you are local, I'm sure people would love to have you!

I went to TJ. The testing culture there was amazingly toxic and a huge portion of my alumni friends consider our experiences there to be actually traumatic. Not the actual learning, but the testing culture. It has also gotten worse over time, and despite continued high rankings it has become more difficult for graduates to be accepted into top universities. This is true even for institutions like CalTech that famously focus on "traditional" application processes. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement of the TJ test.

I was one of the students whose parents paid many thousands of dollars for test prep, which was structured in the "testing strategies" manner rather than actually teaching any sort of academic material.
I do not believe that the TJ test was actually a proxy for merit and I do not believe that the incoming class will be ill equipped to succeed at an accelerated program.
Students can make very big and positive contributions to Open Source and contributing to Open Source with a primary goal of benefiting the project is great. But if this is just a secondary goal, then I would politely say "no" to the offer.

If, however, the university would provide resources to ensure that contributions have the required quality and can assist maintainers with the added load, then it would possibly work! I could imagine that a direct link between maintainer(s) and university supervisor/lecturer would work well, so that maintainers can express their needs and priorities to someone who can handle/govern them in front of the learners.

The corporate bullies have been trotting out this argument forever to keep the status quo. But it is not as if it is impossible to craft a law that carves out protections for this exact harm, like fee shifting provisions or a cheaper administrative proceeding available to small business and non-corporate ownership. We are, as a society, capable of changing and writing creative laws.

Specifically here, how do you imagine a punishment for overreach hurting small owners? They are the plaintiffs here, assuming they bring meritorious casee, they are in the driver's seat with no downside over the status quo.

I agree, but reports of vampires and dragons are very old and too unrealistic to most people today.

Yup weather cycles are longer than human memory it seems. We go from "winters are so warm" to "wow, winters are so much colder now than before".

Recency bias. You judge everything by what happened most recently.
Interesting that your reading is “get used to it you lazy, weak Canadians” and not “a country that is seldom in the news except when you want to make a joke about the cold is now in the news because of the heat”. It makes for a striking argument to illustrate global warming and climate change.
> The only issue is convincing all those miners to go against their economic interest.

That's the problem, isn't it? Bitcoin "longs" are very unlikely to profit from a 51% attack, since its success would destroy the speculative value of the currency they hold.

On the other hand, increasing financialization of cryptocurrency allows people and institutions to build up short positions without directly holding bitcoin, and a 51% attack would cause those short positions to pay out. It may not even be illegal to do this, since there's no direct fraud in a 51% attack unless it's used to double-spend.

I wonder whether these two factors -- 51% resources and largest viable short positions -- still differ by an order of magnitude or two.
No I'm arguing that "value" here is strongly determined by supply and demand. And if you have an oversupply of people willing to work - because they literally have to work to survive - it drives down prices to unsustainable levels.
Plus the ability to take away their assets if they don't comply.
Yes, .sort((a, b) => b - a) is what I meant in this case.

I think perhaps this "makes the most sense" from a language designer/implementor's perspective, but it also gives ample opportunity for WTF moments in actual use.
Stock Market News Analysis
There is a difference between currencies, payment systems and settlements, Bitcoin can do all. Also, you forgot to list the dollar.
GP is correct for Bitcoin. The crackdown on mining seem to applies to all cryptocurrencies though, just based on power usage, so GPU based operations will be affected as well.
I mean, yes, you can learn these things on your own, but that's by no means an excuse that higher education should focus less on these aspects.

It shouldn't be the default that university teaches you job skills and leaves you to learn the theory on your own.

Honestly, I really don't see a solid case there.
The ability to buy something? BTC is not a currency at least in the US. With cash you can actually buy something. BTC is a collectable investment where the seller gets taxed on every transaction. And the only value to BTC is that there are sometimes, depending on the market, a Greater Fool out there to buy it from you. See Tulip Mania.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania. Possibly BTC a way to store value between investments or during a currency crisis but the extreme volatility makes that extremely questionable. It seems it's mostly a gamble that a greater Fool will buy from you or, outside of investment/gambling a conduit for illicit transactions, though the publicly available tracking aspect of BTC puts that role in question also.
>I can't even pay for proper support

Have you actually tried?
I guess it depends on what you consider "proper support", but if you made a reasonable offer I'd be surprised if most devs wouldn't be happy to add this or that feature, prioritize fixing some bug for you, or troubleshoot some other issue. I mean a lot of them do it for free (me included).

I wonder what kind of software you expect support for, because in my experience most commercial end-user software has meh to terrible support. Exceptions are from small shops with passion projects or large companies, but only if you pay enterprise bucks. Like, how do you get Microsoft to fix a bug in Windows unless you are a big business customer yourself? You can certainly report bugs on their public forum and they might even acknowledge them, but some issues I've had were never fixed after years..

Ironically, with their open source stuff on GitHub you can directly report to their bug tracker where devs see it and it's more transparent what will get fixed and what won't. And then you could at least pay someone.

No doubt, if you pay big money you get great 24/7 support but as an individual it's a mixed bag. YMMV.

Remember Window Size and Position in Windows 10 Upon Startup
A sudden Windows crash or Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) in your Windows 10 always reminds you to have a solution that restores your work. If you are a professional or a tech-savvy person, you might be working on multiple projects at the same time. You might also have arranged your most-used desktop applications with optimal window size and positioning on the screen. You can lose all those configurations with a Windows crash, Windows updates, and simply, when the computer shuts down. SmartWindows has the ability to remember window size and position in Windows 10. It eliminates the overhead of restoring the applications every time you start up your computer.
Google does that too.
Does it matter? MS are back to their old tricks one way or another. Makes me wonder if I should ditch C# and ASP.Net.
Thanks for sharing this thought, very interesting.

I think we can't say which effects are at play here though without waiting for more numbers. Next to reports in e.g. VAERS; by now there are many reports by different real user accounts from different nations reporting severe side effects and deaths. There is a lot of tribalism, totalitarianism and unscientific overconfidence from those who decided for the vaccine as well. For them such reports are either pure statistics of large numbers (which I agreed with at first but wouldn't be so confident about anymore) or collateral damage (which is extremely cynical, given that the damaged people are often young and healthy without high risk from covid and just "wanted to do the right thing" or get certain freedoms back).

A less severe but suspicious and little explained side effect - the menstrual issues - are quite widespread, but are dismissed as hysteria..
This rings very true to me. The combination of Twitter and pandemic has been very revealing to me. I used to think most people agreed on fundamental human values, and that political disagreement was about details like level of taxation, size of government, some moral judgements like abortion, that kind of stuff. Now I have the impression that we live in entirely different worlds / value systems, and that the correlation with politics is quite low. Also, not very many people support the fundamental values I took for granted, like equality before the law, the really basic stuff.

PS. I’m in Sweden, so not part of the US political debate. This is probably a global phenomenon.

On the contrary, the Bitcoin based global financial system would be robust, reliable, dependable, non-inflationary, neutral, and apolitical.

Note after hyperbitcoinization the volatility would be much lower than it is today, simply because it would take so much more to affect the price.
You can say it however many times you want, but you are wrong. You would have been right had you been talking about Windows 10 Home ~1-2 years ago.

But today, Windows 10 Home only gives you the option to login with a local account if you are offline (no cable, no WiFi) or you fail to login to an MS account multiple times. Only in one of those cases do they give you a small, relatively hidden option to use the local account.
