There are some key differences that this and the "attack helicopter" memers miss.

There are people who believe they are God (There are people who believe htey are Attack Helicopters, I'm sure). But they are very few and far between. We ignore them, we marginalize them. Or, best case, we treat them.

Now, I'm not trying to open the pandora's box on the medical community's perspective on transgenderism. We can have this conversation after, but I am deliberately focusing on pronouns for a start.

Because when it comes to pronouns, in English-language society, we DO treat people based on gendered pronouns - male and female ones. Basically 100% of our time, 50% one, 50% the other.

So a person who is asking to be addressed as "My saviour" is asking for unique preferential treatment that you are likely not offering anyone else in life.

A person who is asking to be addressed as the gender pronouns of the other gender is asking to be treated the same way that you already treat 50% of the people you encounter, just to be re-categorized. And that's not a big ask because in the VAST Majority of cases you encounter, that person will already be presenting MOSTLY as the gender that they are asking to be treated as.

Now, you might say that being asked to be treated as a different gender than you are born is just as unusual as being asked to be treated as a God. But we don't even need to get into the statistics of prevalence to recognize that the numbers are not relevant. You already have to go through life learning 1) people's names, 2) people's nicknames, 3) people's gender when they are ambiguous or deliberately provocative. This is common metadata you remember about people.

Part of existing in society is learning other human's social characteristics, and incorporating them into how you interact with them. Pronouns are not meaningfully different.
What price are you putting on getting Linux support from the vendor? System76 is Linux-only so they work to integrate their hardware and software together...few others offer this.
They already have a standard network bus connecting all the things together. There's even a standard debug port that exposes it, somewhere near the driver seat.

1. Creating a struct with desired state data

2. Creating functions that take a pointer to the struct as the first parameter

3. Declaring a variable with that struct type to create an instance of the object

4. Declaring another variable with that struct type for another object instance
This appears to be spatially allocated system that an acquaintance of mine worked on https://github.com/PureGero/MultiPaper
It's roughly comparable to one of the non-haptic trackpads on a Macbook Air (pre-2015 I believe?). For me, I'm willing to put up with it because Apple is a dead end given their new surveillance hobby.
> a small Linode [...] it struggles to keep up with just a half dozen of us

I run my server on a 32GB Ryzen5 PC with the world on an SSD and it often struggles with just 2 players no matter what options I tweak. Keep dreaming of the day the Java parts get the same performence as the Bedrock parts (but I know it'll likely never happen.)
The Unix philosophy (as it is in 2021) is very anti-registry. Everything should be a config file. Full of JSON, preferably.
That's the cost of getting Linux support in this day and age. Few other vendors will support you if you call up and have complaints about Linux.
The advice on typography may have been good, but it was an even better example on how NOT to implement web navigation.
I think most of the Amtrak likers here are comparing it to the plane travel experience, with all the hellish nonsense associated with that. It wins that comparison, even if it's mediocre for what the modern railway experience could be (not all of which is Amtrak's fault, as they don't own the rails.)

I don’t see this as marketing to get new users. It’s more showing peers something interesting you found or are working on. Of course they’ll be happy to get some users from hn, but I suspect that isn’t really the goal here.

More specifically it's a Trump rally where people show up out of nowhere, sleep at the rally for a week with no facilities of any kind, and then leave absolutely no trace that they were ever there. Most humans couldn't pull that off with just 10 people, much less 80,000.

No its not, perhaps I can clarify and say the only socially accepted treatment is affirmation. Please, feel free to presnent one case in the past 5 years where a doctor has attempted to explore if a child is really trans and not been harassed?

> Kids don’t get hormones. At the most extreme they get puberty blockers

Puberty blockers are hormones. And just because a drug is safe in one context for one group of patients, doesn't mean its "safe" - ivermectin is a safe anti-parasitic drug for humans, but is dangerous for people with COVID.
> The development priorities of Minecraft are a little strange [...] focused on other things

Cynical to say that Microsoft are focused more on milking as much out of the brand and merchandising as possible rather than actually improving the core gameplay in meaningful ways.

vm performance is excellent, especially if you passthrough the nic. Use libvirt + kvm. It's pretty simple to use vms on standard distros. virt-manager is a good gui.
Ok, I'll bite.

I actually use it on my laptop I'm typing on. I installed it because it was basically ubuntu and I didn't feel like configuring themes at that time, and I didn't really care.

However, I have long decided I should just install Ubuntu since there is no point at having another actor I need to trust in the chain, even though I need to install so many things from source anyways just because ubuntu repositories are not always bleeding edge enough for me. Problem is, I was so causal on my install that I did not notice the default Ubuntu install does not separate out /home partition, so I need to copy all my date to an external disk to upgrade ... You get the picture.

There is nothing here other than something somebody who either did not care enough or did not know enough would be decide to use and add the risk of another upstream source they aren't vetting, and actually they lock some things out and you need to use alternate repositories to install them. Most repositories are just Ubuntu repositories otherwise. They do not use their own other than for a few things. But they sell a pro version, so their own motivation is simple - to be a small business.
I have made a conscious effort to bring the language in my academic papers closer to the language I would actually speak. Part of that is writing in singular first person when that reflects reality. One of the hardest to write is "I believe" - it just feels so weak and un-sciency!

Oh yeah, David Chapman wrote that stuff. Hard to say how tongue in cheek he was, but it was a part of his critiques on Western Buddhism.

The actual content describing Chöd seems accurate to me. (No, I have never played or handled a Kangling). I didn’t see anything tongue-in-cheek or satirical in the article. I think he wrote it up to mess with the sensibilities that underpin what he calls Western Consensus Buddhism.
The NSA is much like the FBI, it has multiple divisions with different purposes. The NSA has one group that is specifically focused on the security of US public and private entities. They help to find standards that the rest of the US bureaucracy follows to keep their systems secure. On the other hand, the NSA does have hacking hand that is supposed to go after foreign adversaries, and this is the group that will use zero day hack.
>that is covered under statute,

And this Texas law gives statutory standing.
Not sure why you’re so hung up on the “theft” part of this.

Look, you worked some amount of time for which federal law says you must be paid but you weren’t. Even if you agreed to those terms, implicitly or explicitly in a verbal or written contract, it’s absolutely still illegal.

So someone is in possession of wages to which you are (and, very explicitly, they are not) legally entitled. You can come up with whatever term you like for this situation but personally I think “theft” is remarkably straightforward and appropriate.
Rolling Stone 'Horse Dewormer' Hit-Piece Debunked After Hospital Says No ODs
A big chunk of our economy in Argentina is transforming sunlight into soybeans. So we should add it. Just imagine that we covered all the Pampa with solar panels and then use that energy to ... illuminate hydroponic soy.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Argentina#Produ... the cultivated area is 250.000km^2 . Let's assume 1000W/m^2 and a 10% of efficiency, 12 hours of sun per day, and 1/3 of the year of grow of the plants. Then I get 36.5TWh https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=250.000km%5E2+*1000W%2... (I had to guess a lot of things. I'd love to see a more accurate calculation.)

So with an additional energy of 36.5TWh, we jump from 132.7TWh to 169.2TWh that is more than the value of Poland 168.8TWh. (But other countries may want to add their solar->plants power too.)

Nobody is shunning install scripts. You can still have an install script. Just don't pipe it into bash from curl.

This is not like some kind of "normal" software distribution pattern. Every other modern OS in the world has solved the trust issues by either verifying the software is signed, or requiring you click some button that says "I acknowledge that I am about to totally fuck up my PC with this untrusted software". The Linux distros verify package signatures, Windows verifies exe signatures, Macs do too (afaik?), Android and iOS do.

Curling to a pipe is just devs being lazy. The trust issues were solved a while ago. Not that devs being lazy is anything new. Literally the only reason anyone can use Linux at all without spending 2 weeks setting it up by hand is because somebody other than the software developers did the hard work of packaging it correctly. The curl|bash pattern is just the `./configure && make && make install` of modern devs. (But even then you could still verify the tarball signature before untarring it)

AppKit works perfectly, though. There's no UI control or esoteric tool that becomes inaccessible to you if you choose AppKit. You're not giving anything up by using AppKit unless you love declarative UI.

On Windows it seems like there are so many tradeoffs depending on which framework you pick. AppKit is still 'the' solution on macOS unless you're trying to port your iOS app with the minimal amount of effort.

I’ll give you that, but more languages are spoken in Houston than in NYC or LA, so even though the Hispanic population is in the majority, there are a lot of other kinds of people as well. And in the past election, Biden received twice as many votes from Houston as he did from Austin due to the fact that for all its fame Austin is a much smaller city.
Well, no, C lets you do that stuff completely manually. C is not object oriented because it gives you zero help in programming in an OO style. It doesn't forbid it, but it doesn't forbid much of anything.

As opposed to C++, which gives you a bunch of tools to help you, and to Java, which forces you.
Yeah...I'm in the same boat. Same story, same comments as before.

For those curious, "200Wh/year" translates to ~0.02W average (per square meter). Low power indeed.

(For comparison, a dozen of alkaline D-cells provide about 200 Wh as well and can last several years. Or if you can install solar panels, they'll provide 140,000Wh/year to 280,000Wh/year per square meter -- but you'll need some evegy storage for the night)
Not my first choice for a source, but I looked through the references they cited and everything seemed to check out. Hopefully this answers some of the questions people had in the comment section for the Insider article based on this Rolling Stone story:

Around 2018. Keyboard failed. USB on one side failed. Headphone Jack failed. Lots of fan noise and overheating. I occasionally have to dig it out but I have to have a USB hub plugged into the one working USB, with an external keyboard and USB headphones.

It happened inside the two year warranty, but because it was my primary machine I need to have something else to work on while it was away for repair, AND it would have been heaps of work to strip it of any company data / passwords before letting it off site. I ended up just replacing it and putting it on the shelf for emergencies.
Email really should be OK with intermittent connectivity. We used to dial up, send and receive mail and drop the connection. Yes, there'd be some delays here and there, but that's how email works. However, good luck with modern email solutions, seems like most have forgotten how to work well without good connectivity.

But if you need to poke at interactive things, it doesn't work well when the connection is spotty.
Um, no. That is not how any of that works.

For instance, your second paragraph: No, objects move or change at the same time, just at different rates. And an object can be moving in one frame of reference, and only "changing" (time passing) in another.
The linked article quotes 54-74 white farmer murders _annually_. Even at two white farmers per farm in South Africa that implies a murder rate at least 2x above the national average with large enough total counts to be significant.

I'd also wager a guess that most South African farmers are not white (they own 70% of farm land mass, but with no real evidence I'd imagine the farms are on average much larger than what was left for the locals), which would push that 2x stat much higher.

Edit: On the other hand, I do think it would be interesting to compare the rate to farms of similar sizes and different races, should that data exist somewhere. With murder rates 2-~20x above average I wouldn't be totally surprised if the common factor were just extra wealth or something.
Right, but christos in Greek means “anointed one”, so like the other person said, it’s a title

To me, the least interesting or useful thing a modern biography of a historical figure can do is audit the things they said in their time and decide which of them we would consider problematic today.
I recommend Sean Carroll’s “Biggest Ideas in the Universe” series on YouTube for modern physics. He’s a professor at CalTech. Each is 60-90 minutes with an accompanying 60-90 minute Q&A—don’t miss the latter, they’re just as interesting. You won’t get a PhD after watching them but he gets a lot mathier than e.g. a Kurzgesagt video while only assuming a high school education (basic calculus, trig, vectors).

I got introduced to G.K.Chesterton through his Father Brown stories and loved them. However, i have not read much of his non-fiction. Can you recommend some good Collected Works/Omnibus of Chesterton?

Of all the authors i have read, I found his language and turns of phrases the most hard to follow. He had this trick of using words which are antonyms of each other in succeeding sentences thus making it seem like a paradox but which all eventually make perfect sense. Also his observations on Human characteristics/Foibles were very insightful and made you think. Truly, one of the greats.

PS: I deplore the "Modern" trend in "Revisionist History" where the Greats are looked at through today's Moral Lens and the whole man is tarred due to flaws in certain aspects of his character. People are a product of their Times and are always a bundle of contradictions.
The people who camped out in Zuccoti Park in NYC during Occupy Wall Street were not rural whites.

I don't really understand the point you're trying to make here. It doesn't take a social scientist to figure out what's going on in West Virginia. West Virginia is East Wyoming. It's overwhelmingly white, has no urban centers, and is starkly less educated than Iowa (itself a heavy lift for the Democratic party). Your point is what? That the parties have polarized on education? Yes, I think we've priced that in now.

The last Democratic Presidential candidate who took West Virginia was Bill Clinton. There were still Dixiecrats in the party when he won it. It's a red state; in fact, it's the second reddest state in the union. Even Alabama sends a Democrat to the House. Not WV. Capito slaughtered Swearengin in 2020 i in every county in the state.

What that tells us about Democratic attitudes towards banks is precisely zero. Get rid of Republic Senate votes in the south and we'd have broken up the major investment banks (I don't think that would have been a good thing).
The part of the movie people called prophetic is not the ethnic groups of the highest breeding populations in the movie.

It is the steady decline of IQ, moral decay, and increasing shallowness of experience and atomization of society.

All of which is clearly more severe than when the movie was released.

None of which makes any implicit commentary on race, no matter what mechanism actually brought about above stated societal decline.
