It hasn't always been this way [1]. There have been controversial candidates at times throughout history, but most candidates got supermajority votes. In modern times, things are incredibly, abnormally polarized.

Re toasters, I just recalled that at a previous office, we had a toaster that was confiscated by building management, as we indeed lacked a proper license to use it in the building.

Don't just assume the standard scenario that everyone has this on their machine. Especially if your program is a statically linked "portable" go binary.
1. I use home & end a lot! Actually, I've switched the bindings (in ahk) of Page Down & End. So my keyboard is Home-PageUp and then Page Down-End. The reason is that intuitively, I think Home should be to the left of End, and also Page Up should be above Page down. Having them at opposite corners accomplishes this, even if the bindings are...a little bit weird. However, I rarely use PageUp/Down. (I do on occasion, just not often.) I also use Ctrl+Home/end a lot to get to the start or end of a document or textarea or whatever, including coupled with shift followed by backspace.
2. Mine is rebound to Control and has been for over a decade, so yes but not actually, it should be Control. I would probably like the actual Control key to be an alternative modifier key because atm it's useless...
3. Just right hand.

Sure, I/O in Rust is a little easier because it's not wrapped up in an abstract type, but in exchange, Rust needs Try, async/.await and const-fn to solve just a few of the issues that monads solve in more generality. I don't think either choice is a kludge, it's just a bunch of trade-offs.

For threads, channels, messages, posts, whatever you call them. It’s really a question of how much nesting do you really need?

If your conversation channel flows like a blur and is “chatty” then there’s probably not a subject line for each one. If it’s more like a forum with divergent topics then you need some nesting, and every solution for nesting has the same essential function just with a different UI.

It’s like implementing, tabs, pages, sheets, screens, windows, or layers, in the end you’ve done the same thing - boxed content and made it selectively displayed.

Switched to iPhone from Android. The wearables game and integration makes Android a non-starter. I now have an M1 Mac + Apple Watch + Airpods Pro + iPhone + iPad and this is a way better technological ensemble than the Intel Mac / Linux Desktop + Samsung Watch + Jabra buds + Pixel 5 + iPad solution I had previously.

The only exception is that I preferred the fingerprint reader to the Face Unlock and the Jabra buds stayed in my ear easier.

My most useful mouse binds are copy/paste/enter buttons, backspace on the wheel tilt left. Win+tab on wheel tilt right helps to move around open windows very quickly. Also have 'q' and 'exit' for when I'm perusing terminal windows without my hands on the keyboard.

Designing Windows 95’S User Interface
For me, there’s no better explanation possible than the description of software behavior in Specifying Systems by Leslie Lamport:

> Formally, we define a behavior to be a sequence of states, where a state is an assignment of values to variables. We specify a system by specifying a set of possible behaviors—the ones representing a correct execution of the system.

Programming is creating an executable description of a set of possible sequences of states. Nothing more.

> In 2016 I started at a company that had no build procedures and deployed to a variety of linux versions, developed on windows. It was a nightmare for administration, no automation, no monitoring.

It's no surprise that implementing pretty much any process would be a massive improvement from that.

The more interesting question is whether containers offer any advantages for people who already have a (probably significantly more lightweight) build and deployment process.

Great journalism at work here! So - the expectation is that people with symptoms of Covid19 would be tested before being hospitalized? I am actually impressed that 44% were.

It would be standard operating procedure for an hospital receiving a patient showing symptoms to give a test. In fact 88% received the test results within two days of hospitalization.

Living in an ordinary US metro area without a car is a punishment we reserve for drunks and the desperately poor; we haven’t the heart to inflict it on those who are merely bad at driving. What are we going to say? “Sorry, kid, if you want to be a functioning adult you’d better move to Manhattan.”
It’s not fair to write off the harm caused by soda as just causing brown teeth and fatness and to then to juxtapose it with domestic violence and drunk driving. That’s a basic strawman, which I sought to exclude by carving out “alcohol abuse” in my OP. Because alcoholism is terrible, especially when it affects a close loved one, and was not the subject of my comment. Fortunately, the vast majority of people who consume alcohol are not alcoholics. But many people, if not most people in 2021 United States and other parts of the world are obese. Of course obesity is not alcohol-fueled domestic violence, but that’s obvious.

The power budget had conservative safety margins because of the uncertainties. At this point, the uncertainties are gone, and they accomplished every objective of this tech demo. So they are just stress testing it, pushing it over the safety limits. The last landings were really tight, and the helicopter barely made it. Ingenuity is not a scientific instrument - it's a one-time proof of concept that got accepted into the mission at the last moment. It's essentially disposable now.

> Which is also a false translation (and thus a strawman) of what I said. The vast majority were treated quite damn well.

I copied and pasted exactly what you wrote.

> I did some Googling here and found that in 2013, 0.9% of all military members reported sexual assault. I don't know how that compares to civilian life, and I'll just toss this out there, I bet this varies A TON by military branch, and I will leave it at that

If you care to educate yourself, in another post I made in this thread I referenced the actual data on sexual abuse in the military. The dramatic majority goes unreported, and the cases that do get reported face retaliation from superiors. It’s a toxic cesspit.

edit I'll just add them

> Sexual assault in the United States armed forces is an ongoing issue which has received extensive media coverage in the past. A 2012 Pentagon survey found that approximately 26,000 women and men were sexually assaulted that year; of those, only 3,374 cases were reported.[1] In 2013, a new Pentagon report found that 5,061 troops reported cases of assault. Some are optimistic that this increase in reports is indicative of victims "growing more comfortable in the system".[2] Of the reported cases, only 484 cases went to trial; 376 resulted in convictions.[3] Another investigation found that one in five women in the United States Air Force who were sexually assaulted by service members reported it, for one in 15 men.[4]

20% of women reported.

> A survey for the Department of Defense conducted in 2015 found that in the past year 52% of active service members who reported sexual assault had experienced retaliation in the form of professional, social, and administrative actions or punishments.[5] In addition to retaliation against soldiers remaining in active service, many former service members who reported sexual assaults were forced to leave after being discharged. Reasons for discharge included having a "personality disorder" or engaging in misconduct related to the sexual assault such as fraternization or (prior to the end of don't ask, don't tell) homosexuality, even if the homosexual conduct was non-consensual.[6]

52% of active service members who reported experienced retaliation. 52%. Getting discharged for homosexuality as a result of _non consensual_ homosexual contact. Tell me again about all that integrity and respect in the military.

> You sound like a person who would never make it in the military.

I don’t care, truly at all, if you think I’d make it in the military. I criticized an obviously disgusting group (that you’re a part of), and you’re making a judgement of my character out of adversarialism.

> 1. How often do people use 'home' and 'end' keys ? I don't

I'd say, what are you coding where you don't benefit from home and end?

I use both a lot while coding, usually in conjunction with ctrl+left or ctrl+right for quickly positioning the cursor where I want it, or ctrl+home or ctrl+end to quickly go to the top or bottom respectively.

> 3. Do you use space bars with both hands ?

Yes, not often while programming, but often with other applications or games where I have right hand on the mouse.

>And yet so many people cannot understand why other are hesitant to take a new tech mRNA untried-before with unforeseen and unknown long-term side-effects 'vaccine'

People aren't hesitant just on the mRNA vaccines, they're hesitant on all vaccines, including J&J which uses the traditional development techniques. Implying that the people who don't want to be vaccinated are acting that way because of the mRNA tech is disingenuous.

Also, the reason most people who don't want to be vaccinated feel that way isn't rational, it's based on delusion and indoctrination.

Perhaps because first they had to fix their CI so they can fix their real problems.

It's often underrated how much an otherwise competent team can crumble under technical debt (of which CI and test flakiness is one specimen).

Is this feasible?
