You want to talk systemic... the first problem with California water supply is not drought. It's the people. The most populated areas of California inherently cannot support that level of "human civilization" without diverting large amounts of water from other, far distant areas in a sustainable manner. This comes from people who imagined an area that sees about 35 rainy days a year as "paradise". You are fundamentally and irreparably stupid to imagine that kind of location can house large amounts of people without massive resource diversion. Research the last hundred years, literally, of scandals due to LA's build up. Cali would be far more sustainable if it was more agrarian like Nebraska or Oklahoma. Probably would be an even bigger food powerhouse if the rivers weren't getting siphoned so bad as to do permanent damage to local ecosystems. What I find funny too, how much the Cali types love to play the "holy than thou" game when it comes to environmentalism, yet they're responsible for devastating a whole hell of a lot of terrain. I bring this up because I find the business of climate change to be a farce. It's all finger wagging and pointing that sums up to, "They shouldn't be in power... I should have ultimate power." Hell, let's take your Texas example. You know whose grid is in even worse shape? Cali. They've been mandatory power shut offs as well and way more often. Yet, hey, look at them stupid Texans and their "shitty" grid. If people actually gave a shit, they would say, "it looks like our first target for repair with max gains is... insert failing infrastructure here". No, it turns into a tribe political war. Mostly again, these infrastructure problems are not climate change based. They're based on policy from roughly the 90s that defunded maintenance and upgrade programs. Now we reap those short sighted policies. Pointing at climate change for these problems will not fix them because it's not the inherent cause. The same way pointing out the sky is blue will fix the infrastructure structure policy either. This isnt a new issue either. Engineers have been screaming about this since the late 90s (that I know of), but again, it's not a sexy problem.
Yep, this is the same error I was getting.

> Oftentimes the authors will claim regurgitation is simply not possible

Do the Copilot authors claim this?

I get that you're suggesting that Copilot may benefit from absolute claims made by the authors of other, similar systems (or their proponents), but I also don't think it's reasonable to exclude nuance and the specifics of Copilot from ongoing discussions on that basis. The Copilot authors have publicly acknowledged the regurgitation problem, and by their account are working on solutions to it (e.g. attribution at suggestion-generation time) that don't involve sweeping it under the rug.

There's a few really cool things. The built in LSP is pretty clean compared to clunky nodejs or python plugins which I've found to clog down on huge codebases. The syntax engine has been improved by a tree-sitter algo, so it's way more robust with the syntax hilighting. And while I haven't messed with this yet you can do the whole config file in Lua now, which sounds pretty powerful.

The improved tree-sitter code parsing also allows for stuff like this which you won't find fully implementable in mainline Vim yet:

This seems to me to be a very disingenuous comparison and you're not responding to my question. Are you seriously arguing that superior weaponry doesn't help in a war? I think it's reasonably clear that the situation of the Aztecs differs to the conquest of Afghanistan not only by many hundreds of years.

I am not making the statement that all winning a war takes is superior weaponry, as your strawman would suggest. It doesn't take any one factor. Many factors add up. I'm saying this is one of them.

Changing master to main was something Github did when they were taking heat for their contract with ICE. It was a nice bit of misdirection that cost them nothing, achieved nothing and garnered praise in some quarters.

ICE, of course, runs an actual concentration camp which has a slightly more troublesome history than the word master.

Language policing is to racism what recycling is to global warming - an attempt to shift the focus away from elite responsibility for systemic issues to "personal responsibility" and forestall meaningful reform by placing emphasis on largely non-threatening symbolic gestures.
This isn't that big of a deal. vim is installed by default on all mainstream unix systems if not installable on any system of your choice. Neovim should be a more comprehensive vim.

vim is bash. nvim is zsh if not fish.

Or maybe vim is RHEL, and nvim is Fedora

A plumber, I'd assume? Why would I need to book a "celebrity" in the field of interest. Self-help sources are quite valuable when you're seeking self-help, but they are a way to avoid consulting a professional. If the self-help fails I'd immediately turn to a plumber since, while they're not cheap they're likely going to be less expensive in time and money than sinking more money into self-help.
If a field systematically makes wrong predictions (not “some experts some of the time”), you should not trust subsequent predictions from that field.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb: Daily new U.S. Covid cases won't ever go to zero
I actually started using Neovim builds from master to get access to built in LSP before this release. It’s faster and lighter weight than any other LSP client I’ve used (I have used vim-lsp and languageclient-neovim in the past).

From my understanding, it’s also an opt-in feature, so you are free to use anything other language client or no language client at all.

But I agree with you that Neovim is gradually becoming more monolithic (though I believe it’s still very snappy and light). I’m pretty happy about it, though.
I would actually LOVE to see VIM with NerdTree, File/text searching, lsp and first class git support baked in and integrated well without need of tuning something in your .vimrc file every weekend.
Wow! That was my very first non-piano keyboard.

A few years later, I begged my parents for a synthesizer. I pictured a DX7, but on Christmas morning I opened a TX81Z and a MIDI cable. Downside: enormous learning curve. Upside: no one told me that managing patches through the front menu, or learning the basics of FM synthesis, was hard. I picked up an awful lot of low-level technical information simply because I didn't know I couldn't.
I'm not justifying Jan 6. I'm merely pointing out that it was an expression of frustration and that it's not anywhere close to the civil war, as some politicians have put it.

I think the same is true of other domestic terror violence we've seen. The Civil War is still the worst domestic insurrection in history. The two are not even comparable. That this comparison is even humored shows a major problem.

> The only teaching necessary is some history: even in the darkest hours of the civil war, the enemies of the Constitution never managed to sack the US capitol.

I'm sorry you're being ridiculous. The US capitol has been bombed and parts destroyed by domestic terror groups in living memory. Those attacks were way worse than this.

US congressmen have been shot at by radicalized domestic terrorists as well.

Considering (1) Jan 6 resulted in minimal property destruction (certainly no structural damage) and (2) no politician killed (the only person dying directly as a result being Ashli Babbett, a rioter), it's safe to say that the bombings were worse (due to worse property destruction) and the shootings were worse (due to imminent potential of death to the victims)

Perhaps you have some learning to do.
Clever ploy but dubious at best. i get the feeling its akin to the audible version of a free speech zone.
You and I share these values, and that's how I teach my kid (not that we have voice assistants hanging around).

What I'm saying here is that you're teaching your values, but your values aren't universal. Other parents will teach their values, or simply set examples of behaviors that you disagree with. You can't simply solve the problem by teaching your kids. And if my experience is at all typical, your kid will also pick up values from those other people's kids.
Ethics can drive capitalism, though, via demand. They say millennials in general tend to support businesses with a cause. And we've all seen the rise of say, cage free or free range eggs, despite how misleading the terms are.

That is to say, morals can exist even in cutthroat capitalism when consumers demand it. If only people were as pushy about human treatment as we are about animal treatment. We won't buy eggs from chickens stacked together in a box, but have no qualms about buying Iphones or clothes made by humans stacked together in a box.
I'm out of the loop.

Elixir 1.12.2 Released
Why is this article dead? I thought it was great and definitely makes you think. I myself am not from the U.S., so most of it I had no idea of either way. But I think there's still a gem in this article.

I thought the dilemma of neutrality vs objectivity was also interesting. It seems these goals are directly at odds, and if you are writing an encyclopedia you can only achieve one. You can give multiple sides an even amount of attention, including a possibly, objectively wrong perspective. Or, you can forego neutrality and go for objectivity. But, many social issues are precisely subjective and fuzzy.

I understand wanting an objective picture, I can even imagine why fox news might not be top of the shelf journalism, but TFA makes a point: sometimes they can be the only ones reporting on a side. And if you are neutral, you must not take sides.

The example of Switserland was interesting, as they had to tolerate the nazis as well to remain truly neutral.

Do you want neutrality? Or objectivity? Then, what is objective in some of these issues, where we simply don't have all the information, or worse, fuzzy and subjective issues?
The larger issue for me as a former heavy Wikipedia user is the poor quality of web citations. I cannot use it as a research aid if the citations go nowhere and when they go somewhere it’s to a useless source which has no citations or citations that go nowhere. Free resources also tend to be valueless. Archive.org is a far better free resource because it consistently provides access to top tier sources from real libraries. Wikipedia has an unusable gibberish article on every topic if you want to be misinformed about it. Even on popular historical topics you are generally getting thinly sourced fan fiction with inaccuracies sprinkled in. A Wikipedia user is just reading misinformation to gain the illusion of knowledge.

The less said about the sewage in the contemporary topic pages the better, although Sanger does a good job describing the issue, anyone who trusted those pages in the first place has brain damage, so it’s not like something glorious or valuable has been wrecked there. It started off bad and became worse.
Pretty sure they were being sarcastic. I also don't find your arguments persuasive in the slightest, and I find myself being skeptical of these recent moral outcries. I'm skeptical of its sincerity, and I don't buy it. "Master" has an etmylogical background far more diverse than the dichotomy to "slave". I can wholeheartedly say that I've not once thought to make that association. It's been a title for centuries. Master blacksmith, etc. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master for a list)

Another example of what seems like a fake moral outcry is "blackface". And, I mean what it is being referred to now, and not the actual meaning. The racist ridicule by stereotyping ethnicity. That was "Blackface". Yet, for some reason, context doesn't matter anymore, and we end up with removing episodes of Community because someone painted their face in a cosplay of an dark elf, in exact commentary of this.

There is a significan systemic racism in the US that affects almost everything. In order to deal with those things, the very first thing would be to properly be able to identify racism. Context matters. Renaming "Master" branches is not progress. Ostracising a kid for dressing up as Michael Jackson isn't it.

Whenever I see outrage over such things I cynically think that the person is probably white, and probably doing it for attention. One thing is for sure, it only serves to detract from the real issues.
It's fine to feel that animal husbandry is unethical, but considering that domestication occurred already, how do you propose the management of domesticated species?

Just letting them free would be cruel, because the domesticated animals and surrounding ecosystem have not adapted to eachother. They will probably either hurt the ecosystem (cats and pigs) or die out after losing human care (cattle).

It doesn't seem ethical at all to just pretend that domesticated animals are people and so need human rights. They need animal rights, which depending on the species may be completely different.

> It sounds like Amazon strong arms these companies into ONLY serving them.

I don't really understand this. Amazon can't "strong arm" you unless you let them. If Amazon "requires" you to dump your other clients, you can also "require" that such a clause means they must offer compensating guarantees and more money.

Sheesh.

Don't start a business where the business plan is to have only one customer, or at least if you do, don't complain when they realize they have you over a barrel.
Hahaha I'm not holding my breath.

It's multiple cartels vs us.

These cartels have spent literally 2 billion dollars on lobbying politicians.

So the real question is, how does this hurt us? How is this helping physicians build mansions, hospitals get record profits, etc...
My current laptop is is an Acer Aspire 3 a315-41, and I've had some significant issues with it.

Firstly, there are nice access hatches for the 2.5" slot and the DIMMs, but not for some reason for the M.2 slot. Minor nitpicking, but why make nice access hatches for two items out of three?

Secondly, it does not support NVMe, only SATA drives. Not a huge deal, they are of course not required to support NVMe, but why? It seems to me like they're only saving some wiring going to the CPU. And the firmware menu contains references to NVMe, which led me to believe it did support it.

Third, there were some some issues with Linux on it. Half the time you booted into Linux, the trackpad wouldn't work, and you needed to reboot to get it working. A bigger issue though was that sometimes when you suspended the laptop, it would instead just hang and hard reboot. It took like a year before these issues went away I think. These can be excused I suppose, it's designed for Windows, so it can't be expected to work flawlessly with Linux right away, but it does mean I won't consider Acer for a Linux laptop in the future.

Recently, AMDGPU sometimes hangs when it resumes from suspend, forcing you to reboot. Though this is probably not an Acer issue.

It also seems like the battery stops reporting charge level until you reboot it. I think this happens under Windows too. At least this happens very rarely, but it's one more thing.

But by far the biggest issue though, and the thing that means I will never get another Acer computer, regardless of OS, was when they released a Firmware update for it that caused it to bootloop if you started it without the charger connected (https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/599232/a315-41g-1-1...). As in, you started it, and after a few seconds it would hard reboot, over and over. You could start it with the charger connected and then disconnect it, and it would work fine (until you suspended and resumed, at which point it would hard reboot after a few seconds). And this wasn't a Linux issue, it happened regardless of OS, and even in the Firmware menu. And there was zero official communication from Acer on this, all we got was some "Acer Community Expert" idiot telling people to uninstall some Windows driver, even though Windows had nothing to do with it, and someone telling you to modify the updater tool to downgrade the Firmware. And it somehow took them literally months to release a fix for this. So fuck Acer.

That's just the reality of our situation. We didn't procrastinate, we ordered it with plenty of time to spare. Our original delivery date was well ahead of our due date. They missed it, and our due date got moved up due to being high risk. Maybe I overshared, but parts of our story - the fact that the new dates they offered us don't work for us - don't make sense with out that piece of information.
To clarify for people unfamiliar, all of that is common to Vim and Neovim except maybe visual regex - what is that?
>Americans have been trained to have a strictly binary, categorical view of issues instead of looking at each issue as something with its own set of properties to explore.

I would slightly disagree. Americans are typically very moderate and I believe made to not understand the concepts of politics, when there's capitalism and liberalism involved it's just too complex to understand. The biggest and obviously evidence of this is the apathy toward voting, why even be engaged in something that isn't felt to be a democratic system? How many feel marginalized and the kinds of communities that say so. As impacftul Assange's work may be, the shakers and movers of the world are doing a good job at damage control sounds like.
Amazon, like many other of the big companies, control revenue flow in the economy.

It's not the people who crate the value who control the revenue flow, but the ones who have access to the customers.
In the 90s and 00s analog pay tv used to be "encrypted" like this. IIRC software decryption relied on deriving the weak shuffling key by manually reordering image rows and then using that to reverse the key so the next frames could be decrypted more reliably. Doing that kind of video processing in realtime and in software was close to CPU limits.

The same would apply to people sensitive to gluten and going vegan, people don't have to go full blast vegan. But many vegan may be benefiting from it and think it's the vegan diet.

> " ... And Wikipedia thought there were no reliable sources at all? Why not?" The reason is that the sources that provide mainstream coverage of conservative points of view, including Fox News, The New York Post, and the (U.K.) Daily Mail—as well as pretty much all of newer conservative news media sources, which are the only outlets doing any reporting on many important stories—have all been added to a list of sources "deprecated" for their coverage of political news. ...

Yes, and they've been deprecated because they kept making stuff up, over and over again. Whether they're right and doing important reporting in any single instance is entirely beside the point, they still can't be trusted to be accurate and that's what matters.
What is happening to GitLab? The site is littered with charts and nonsense business marketing lingo like "value stream management".

Oh haha... it's hard to tell what's satire these days.
I do the same thing. I think it's why I've ended up in a primarily terminal based environment. Tmux, Vim, and Zsh and a couple web browsers and I'm good to go. Very little clutter.

It's a very pleasant way to work.

It more and more feels like the difference between not having insurance, and having insurance when something bad actually happens is "do I get a massive bill that I can't afford now, or do I get a massive bill that I can't afford later?".

The only real benefit of having "insurance" in the US is having reasonable access to basic preventative care. Don't get me wrong, it is a massive advantage to have default access to basic preventative care (without it being a cost-benefit tradeoff each time), but that is in no way/shape/form "insurance" in the typical meaning of the term.
My interactions have largely been meatspace and in open source communities they are heavily involved in (outside of k8s).

We do seem to have either interacted with difference slices of the company, or gotten different impressions.

Which is all well and good, an aggregate of anecdotes is better than just one.
Out-of-network was always just a sketchy way for insurance to avoid paying what they should have paid.

Let's say you get a hypothetical procedure. Insurance has already agreed to pay in-network providers between $1-3K for this procedure. But you got this procedure out-of-network. Why is insurance's liability suddenly $0 instead of whatever the lowest in-network fee schedule would be ($1K in this example)?

See I can understand insurance not wanting to foot substantially higher bills than in-network providers charge, but I cannot understand why it drops to $0 reimbursed when you leave network. It seems like an immoral "gotcha."

But then again I'd like to see insurance discounts/agreements banned. Make everything and nothing in-network and also normalize the insured/uninsured prices. No more "$100 for a band-aid, -$99 discount" shenanigans.

Obviously single-payer would be better yet still, but if we must keep using this broken private employer-linked insurer system let us at least keep band-aid fixing it until we can get enough political support to scrap it.
