Sorry you feel so emotionally about this topic. However please refrain from ad hominem attacks: it doesn’t help constructive discussion.

There are facts that do not readily line up with the scale of response to the failures that surround the disaster.

Compared to the damage that coal and gas has on the environment and the numbers who will suffer through their continued use in power production or die in their sourcing, nuclear seems a reasonably safe alternative. Note too the many many trillions that will be spent in addressing climate change, again nuclear seems a cost effective alternative.

Taking solutions off the table due to bias, poor data and evidence doesn’t help find a path ahead for power production for humanity’s future needs.

What was the starting site you fed to the crawler to follow the links from to build the index?
I started writing out a longer response to you, but then realized it isn't worth it. If you aren't going to acknowledge that we maybe have room for improvement when we are internationally ranked in the 30s and 40s in press freedom then I don't see much value in continuing the conversation on how our freedom might be lacking.
> he just wasn't in a regulated industry

No… he wasn’t pushing out a product that can kill people. Telling people they are not sick when they are or vice versa is dangerous.
Take a look at Monaco, the editor that powers VSC: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/

The rest of it is in hosting the processes and plug-ins for it. Microsoft also developed the Language Server Protocol that provides intellisense and other features for each language: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/

Oh, come on. You seriously don't think the metal detectors pick up guns too?

Police officers routinely justify their actions on such grounds.
It's becoming a chicken or the egg issue. Every time I open up Play store "premium" apps section is complete trash and "freemium" apps are design in either milking the ads (free but 20 second ad after every action) or the whales (paying 160usd/year subscription for a phone app) - no one is serving middle-class consumer on Android. Then creators complain that there's no middle-class consumer market on Android?

Glass already went to the trash bin for me. If you can barely support 1 app at 5usd/month price point what sort of longevity message is that sending?
Where I am we do require people to take vacations, usually if they are going to hit their PTO accrual cap (ie, they really have not been taking vacations).
It's incredibly easy for discussions to turn heated and non-productive when egos start feeling bruised. And then it's even harder to back down because it feels like pride is on the line.
I know I'm personally burnt out on tech by the end of the day from working on it all day, and I'm not "really high up in tech". But also at the end of the day, if I'm not making dinner, then it's DoorDash. If I need a ride somewhere, I use Uber/Lyft. It would be nice to be rich enough to afford a live-in chef and a driver instead of those two apps. I'm not (yet), but it becomes far easier to eschew technology if you aren't forced (no matter how gently) to have any of it.
Okay, I need to know how you convinced a support agent to let you remote their machine. I could solve so many problems this way.

I wonder if people have tried the most recent W11 updates. It feels like a polished release candidate, and some in my inner circle also running W11 will say the same.
"Just say no."

For home computers, I said no many years ago and never looked back.

However I sometimes wonder, since strides have been made in booting Windows from USB and with introduction of WinPE, could we have a smaller, limited purpose Windows, bootable from USB drive. We could boot into this to edit Word documents or Excel spreadsheets or some other Office task, then power off.^1 It could boot to RAM so the HDD is never touched. Portable Windows. Normally, WinPE and Windows "boot disks" are used by Windows sysadmins, but there is nothing to limit usage to only Windows sysadmin stuff. A hypothetical Windows sysadmin and/or full-blown Windows-loving reader, who has succumbed to Redmond's propaganda, might think, "What could you even do with that. It would be useless." Yet Microsoft itself anticipates that someone might see the utility and they actively try to prevent such persons from using a fast, unbloated, telemetry and ad-free Windows.^2 Its one thing to require enterprise customers who pay annual fees to use bloated Windows N+1 but what about non-enterprise users. (Perhaps they dont count. They are just sources of data collection.)

Personally, I dont need Microsoft to tell me what is and what is not a "general purpose operating system". I will make that call and I will decide how I want to use it. This brazen disrespect for free-thinking users is why I dont use Windows (at home).

"Windows PE is not a general-purpose operating system. It may not be used for any purpose other than deployment and recovery. It should not be used as a thin client or an embedded operating system. There are other Microsoft products, such as Windows Embedded CE, which may be used for these purposes.

To prevent its use as a production operating system, Windows PE automatically stops running the shell and restarts after 72 hours of continuous use. This period is not configurable."

I'll make it simple regarding unlimited PTO:
It exists ONLY so that the company does NOT have to pay you for the unused vacation upon leaving, there is NO OTHER reason for the PTO. But yes, creative "marketing" twists it and makes it look great outside...
> Governments won't pay one highly skilled person 250k

How can we change this? As a taxpayer, I'd be perfectly happy allocating some of my tax dollars to pay efficiency wages in situations like the one in this post, where hiring someone with specialized skills can save the community millions of dollars.
Imo gnome is better aesthetically and from a ux/feeling/default shortcuts perspective than windows and has been for seven or eight years at least. As far as I can tell the issues are graphics cards when you have both a dedicated gpu and an integrated one, and gaming/popular productivity apps. Both have been getting steadily better over time though.
Because it is slow to start, and can have weird quirks where things don't work quite right. You also have less control over when it updates, which doesn't bother me that much, but is a problem for some people.

It also takes up more space on disk, and it is the snap packager's responsibility apply security updates on upstream dependencies, rather than the ubuntu packagers, although for Firefox, I don't think there is too much worry there, as long as Mozilla puts some effort into the snap.
How do I attach visual studio to an asp parocess?
This is on a Windows 10 computer. I have successfully completed setting up IIS and system settings for running a web page written in Classic ASP. I can launch it from my IIS manager and it comes up in my default browser.

iis:

Enable Client-side debugging: true
Enable Server-side debugging: true
Send errors to browser: true

I load the folder containing the code in Visual Studio 2019 and I attach the process that is the IIS Manger, InetMgr.exe.

This is all I do to configure Visual Studio. I think there should be a place where I set the entry point file, the default.asp, because as I was trying different things, I saw this warning come up for a second.

If I try to post break points after I attack the process, it says that "no symbols have been loaded for this document"

Please advise.

Some blogs I have seen while looking online for a solution suggest setting up a project file first. But they mention attaching to a different process and it seems to be for ASP.NET instead of classic ASP.
Always a good idea.
The shift controls on my 7th gen Celica are similar, button either side on front of the steering wheel always shifts down, press with the thumb; button on the back of the wheel always shifts up, press with index finger. This car is 20 years old.

The Celica has the cruise control stalk turn with the wheel, which is okay. My VW T5 Transporter's cruise control stalk is stationary affixed to the steering column, and that's okay too.

I also had a Honda Jazz that had paddles like you described.

I haven't tried many newer vehicles, but I can't see how anything they offer is much of an improvement.

Even though some sites have a metric crap-top of js they sometimes render very minimally for certain screen sizes or mobile devices without any of the js crap. Does your crawler pay attention to any of that?
It’s often potentially a slight financial trick as well. At least it can be. Depending on structuring it can a tinnnnnny one time pickup on profitability due to not having a vacation accrual balance sheet liability any more. Aka 1)when you leave no payout, and 2) the one time reversal of that acrual can(*) impact profit. Do the math with payroll at 40% of revenue that can be a ~2.5% one time pickup in profit margins. Slightly less tax adjusted and fully rolled back.

Just saying it could be even more nefarious than you intended to convey :)
Wow, that's quite impressive - and it's enough range for range not to be a problem anymore.

Although I wonder how the range is in the winter (heating), and summer (A/C).

But that price! Yikes! If that's what it takes to make electric vehicles, hardly anyone will switch.

Buy a $30K car, and save the $100K for gas - by my rough estimate you can drive arround 0.5 to 1 million miles with that much gas.

And this is not just an economics question: Resources cost money, so if this car needs that much in additional resources, how green is it really?
I accidentally clicked 'consumer reports' while trying to get to the article and saw the recent submissions from them were all anti-tesla articles. Perhaps we need to consider whether these companies have a strong incentive to write anti-tesla articles because tesla doesn't advertise (IE they can't make money from tesla) whereas other car manufacturers spend a ton of money on Ads.

From what I've seen on youtube people who actually have the new model s seem to like the yolk quite a bit. If it was an option on the model 3 when i bought it I would have definitely considered it. Getting the top of the wheel out of my view would be nice. I'm less sure about the turn signals - but I wouldn't miss the gear lever.
This is pretty funny from an EU employees perspective..."unlimited" == ~3 weeks?! Our guaranteed 5 weeks + ~10 public holidays is better than "unlimited" PTO.
> then, some used the obscure way of getting the upgrade by special offer for people with accessibility issues.

On that note, it was removed, so now the only way I know that works is to do an in-place upgrade via the Windows 10 installation media ('upgrade this pc now') then sign in with a Microsoft account to get your license attached to the MSA, then you can do a full reinstall and keep the license.

Sure, but nobody at the local level wants to downzone offices. Those are their jobs. And they bring in tax revenue without requiring much expenditure by the local municipality. And their proximity skyrockets the price of all of the nearby real estate. There are perverse financial incentives that cause every city to want to be the city that people from the surrounding area commute to work in, but don’t actually live in. So downzoning offices isn’t going to happen at the local level. And it’s not going to happen at the state level either, because frankly it’s a silly idea to cripple your own economy.
> even Internet Explorer used Knuth-Plass to justify text

I haven’t heard of this before, and I don’t believe it’s at all correct.

Searching, I’m finding only https://elliotjaystocks.com/blog/justification-hyphenation/ to be relevant: “Internet Explorer, which seems to use the Knuth / Plass algorithm, or an approximation of it, enabled through the text-justify: newspaper CSS property.” `text-transform: newspaper` is nothing like Knuth-Plass: rather, it was what is currently spelled `text-transform: inter-character`, which is a terrible idea for English.
I think this is an incredibly cynical and awful take. The sushi community is really vibrant, to the point where they backed off from the whole phantom troupe proposal because of pushback.

Also, not sure where money laundering and the cartels come in- I’ve never heard this claim before and there’s no evidence at all.

As for why SBF got control(along with a few others), SBF was the biggest critic of Nomi’s leadership and arguably after the rugpull, you needed a name as weighty and trustworthy as SBF’s to really turn it around- and I think he did a good job.

Also SBF let the community have reins on if after navigating the roughest patches, so again- don’t see the issue there either.
I wouldn't say 'hate' but it's unnecessarily complicated, and the UI is complete trash.

ALSO they routinely send me a billing reminder telling me the invoice is 'overdue' BEFORE they even send the invoice, which frankly would make me move somewhere else if I had the time. It's maddening.
GTK has stylesheets, not an API. This is why libadwaita is the "GNOME apps" API, because GTK's themes are stylesheets and in no way form a proper API that preserves accessibility and usability for random GTK apps with custom controls.

The solution is an actual theming API, which is still in the discussion phase, and an interim recoloring API for distributions who mostly fork Adwaita but use branded theme colors.

"Foreign born" is really not the best judge of diversity in this context imo. I would instead look at the fraction of population that has European ancestry.

I have not seen many statistics linking foreign-born residents to higher crime, but locally-born oppressed minority populations (e.g. Black, Aboriginal, Native, Maori) are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system due to ongoing legacies of systemic violence.

Credit Repair
I could remember when i had a very bad credit and wanted to get a loan .. i applied for one but the interest Rate was quite much for me that i had to back down for the momennt and figure out a way to get my credit fixed first .. I then made my research and came across ( Webowlhack5 at gmail dot com ) via Linkein and they helped me out with fixing my crredit and took down all the negative reviews i had on there .. it took him a little time to get this done .. don't fall for people saying they'd get it done in less than a week or so , they are all Rippers trying to take your money and at the end of the day they won't keep to their words .. it took them 4 weeks to get this done .. Patience is truly a Virtue .. You can make a direct call or text to him +1 201 549 3937
It doesn't say 110 kWh. It says greater than 110 kWh. You're just irrationally repeating yourself at this point.

It says greater than 900 volts. Do you believe that means it's an 1800 volt pack?

It says greater than 750 kW output. Do you believe that means it has a 1500 kW output?

Do you understand the difference between net and gross battery capacity? Here's an explainer:

I think you need to spend less time on Twitter. You'll be better for it.
>There are some tricky bits, like we'd have to load the content to know how tall it's going to be. And it stops working to a point... with a few hundred posts the scrollbar approaches an unusable size, and there could be thousands of posts.

With a fixed width like you have, you could probably calculate height upon submission and just have an accumulating cache of total thread height per thread.

As far as it not working in the extreme case, I'll point out it basically doesn't work in any case right now. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

> Categories actually used to be bold! but we ended up backing off on that because they were distracting from titles.

Bold was just an easy example. There's all kinds of ways you could make them differentiated beyond what appears to be the width of a double space between them. You could underline one, italicize, change the font size, change the color, put a '|' between them, put a box around each tag, etc. It's a design challenge, but hardly an insurmountable one.

> hopefully some of the stuff we're starting to work on now will move the needle in that direction.

I hope so too that one day landing on a discourse page when looking for information doesn't elicit an eyeroll from me. Clearly there's a talented team, and I wish you the best of luck.
It's actually advantageous to have a separate "mob" as well as controlling the military/police; the last thing you want is to formally deputize or enlist them.

This way you can go to international events and join the hand-wringing over lynchings, torture and murder ("we can't control our overenthusiastic supporters and of course mistakes were made on both sides, etc"). You can also preserve your control of rule-followers and humanitarians in the police and military.

As a rule, weapons in private hands seem to be handy for overriding the policies of democratically elected governments while complaining about "tyranny" (c.f. Ammon Bundy).
Did they ever get to encode things like rhythm or vocals?
I wouldn't. I mean sure, it would be nice not to get so much junk mail. But I personally don't think it is worth the risk of important mail like bills, tax info, new credit cards, etc. as accidentally getting flagged as spam. It also increases how much you have to trust the postal service.
I am a retired Wikipdedia editor and admin. Not sure what the current experience is like, but back in my day I didn't have much beef. Most people have no idea how much crap people try to put into Wikipedia on a daily basis. It's also legitimately a very complicated place. So I can believe a lot of novices walk away with an opinion like yours, in that the gap between "what Wikipedia needs" and "what J Random Editor wants to put in" is often miles apart.
I’m not sure YouTube is the place for this content. Google does not seem to have any intention of providing ways to verify your credentials or providing references/facts.
It’s clear YouTube is not the place people should be relying on to share this type of information or really share anything knowledge based.

I would love to see almost a Wikipedia version of YouTube, where videos could be submitted by anyone and facts/references could be linked at any point of the video.
A company I worked for required everybody to attend anti-corruption sessions (and later made it part of the induction process). A fun fact is that a reliable indicator of corrupt behaviour is never taking time off. If you're cooking books you don't want to let anybody else looking at them.
You can’t precompute the layout as in your † (that is, your results will be wrong), because you don’t know ahead of time what fonts will be used.
This sounds like a good startup concept for a SaaS:

1-low cogs (80%+ gross margins)
2- predictable and long term renewal contracts; low customer churn
3- if this is a problem for a 10b+ company then nearly every other company should also be your potential customer

Price your product in a similar way that others do (there is always competition). Remember that the price for your first customer will not be the price for every other customer. You can and will iterate just like you do with your code.

> Unless you really believe 25% of Americans own 20 guns each

On average, that's entirely believable.

I think the vast majority of those people own 4-10 guns, but there are enough people who own hundreds of guns to make the mean a lot higher. In fact this is a classic example of a situation where mean can be significantly higher than median.
