We can start by the fact that their political leanings have led most of these states to have the highest COVID 19 death ratios because they don't believe in vaccines, nor science.
Context matters. The proper tool to use is to compare what percentage of lives met a violent end annually.

Normally in the US it's about 1 in 17,000 according to the CDC

https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/datasources/nvdrs/ind...

In Sweden its more like 1 in 83,000

Ancient stats are a little hard to come by and different groups were more or less warlike losing between an estimated 1 in 100 to 1 in 3000

Big events like WW2 are very noticeable but ancient people were in fact very violent because not shockingly people are violent.

As importantly is the context in which violence appears in ancient society driven not my large scale political movements but by resource scarcity. A continually expanding human population in the absence of modern civilization would not have achieved present population size but they would certainly have continued to grow leading to greater scarcity and increasing conflict. That is to say that they were more violent on average already and they would be more so in the modern context.
It's because you were younger. It happens to everyone.

You think younger people now don't feel the same way you did? And that they won't wistfully be talking about the times that Youtube gave them all the content they could ever dream of?

Maybe. But I wouldn't count on it.

Laravel.

Batteries included. It has matured to the point that I'm delighted to use it!

I can build and ship large applications (subjective) extremely quickly.

Keep in mind that what you're building would effectively be a big monolith. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing depends on what you're ultimately trying to achieve.

And Laravel Livewire is in some ways similar to Pheonix.

Django is also pretty good, for the same reasons as above.
But isn't much better to just manually code it into reusable function and use it repeatedly, instead of letting AI generates all the boilerplate code and causes maintenance headache down the road?
I'll make you a promise: if your code never ends up on my machine, I will never try to reverse it.

Otherwise, all bets are off.
in the late 90s at Rice we had a blazing fast connection and I could video chat via MS NetMeeting with friends at other universities. It seemed so magical, and now it’s a surprisingly rare occasion that I use FaceTime or any desktop video chat option.

> It stands to reason that someone who is a part of a strong religious community would have a much better social life, support structure, and network.

Remove "religious" from this sentence and it is still true. Now the question remains whether a religious community is better than other communities. I doubt it, because religion usually comes with a lot of extra baggage and can become outright dangerous.
And funny because former owner/director Ecclestone seemingly battled against that for so long. Now he's gone, it changed, and they are doing well.
I am pro choice and against abortion.

I don't like abortion. Nobody likes abortions. Women who feel that they need to get an abortion don't like it either. It's a horrible, traumatic procedure.

But it's a reality that it needs to be legal, regulated, and safe.

It's absolutely critical to civilization that women have a choice to undergo an abortion if they choose to. It's their body, their life, their future. Nobody else's business, especially not the government's.

The government should never require them to carry a pregnancy to term in much the same way that it shouldn't force you to give an organ (and it doesn't).

I am not pro abortion, I am pro choice.

People opposed to abortions are not pro life, they are anti choice.

This is true, and there are also coders today who's code does not run on computers, but in people's heads as the implementation of diagrams and schematics.
Indeed, and to make it even more of a mess, regional issues also correlated with economic issues. My unorthodox opinion is that the opioid crisis started with an actual pain crisis due to the kinds of jobs that people were working, coupled with a lack of strong labor law enforcement and safety net. People were turning to pills because they were in pain.

Going back further, some electronic instrumental is also good, Boards of Canada, the first Mum album (yesterday was dramatic, today is okay), Hiroshi Yoshimura, Mort Garson

There were also a bunch of 90s/2000/ instrumental post rock acts like Do Make Say Think, Explosions in the Sky, Tortoise, Fridge, etc that can be good work music.

>Your assumption that everyone cares about this is false, there's no "misconceptions" here. The only misconception is the one that GNOME is the center of the Linux universe... which is tacitly untrue.

I never said that everyone cares about this, nor did I say that GNOME is the center of the Linux universe, not sure where you got either of those from. I agree those statements are not true. However, developers of some apps do care that their apps are broken by themes. If you want to make your fonts 15% less viewable that's fine, I'll be happy to give you tips on how to do that, but you deserve to know about the technical issues with that and why it causes enough trouble that app developers don't want to support it. Just my opinion: impeding the accessibility of your system and manually compiling all your apps just because of a perceived slight against some developers is a bad idea.

>GNOME is an extension of a modular system, one that was also designed to be built upon to create better experiences. GNOME once also shared that sentiment of modularity

So this is a misconception, theming was always buggy and really badly supported in both GTK2 and GTK3, and considered mostly a hack. It kind of worked if people kept updating the themes constantly but it was a really bad uphill battle. You can continue hacking things that way if you want, but I expect some app developers will try to discourage you from doing it because eventually it really only becomes a source of bugs with no benefit to the user. Personally I also would do discourage you from that if you're trying to accomplish a specific goal with these platforms besides just messing with the font contrast, it could be a lot more productive if you wanted to work on a more robust way of doing things. But it's really up to you, I can only present you an option of what to do and then you have to decide for yourself.

>You'll never install it without having another, feature-complete package manager operating alongside it.

This is true for a lot of distros, but Flatpak isn't just a package manager.

>Flatpak tries doing a hundred things, and can't do a single one better than another, dedicated tool. There is no argument here. Flatpak is not, cannot, and will never be considered a real package manager. It's a second-class supplement at best, and abhorrent bloatware when it stops working properly.

I'd advise against this type of strong rhetoric, it's easy to make these hyperbolic flourishes but what you've said isn't really true and lacks any facts to back it up. The underlying technologies (mostly ostree and bwrap) are pretty generic and are dedicated tools by themselves, Flatpak just puts those together with some repos. You could use those tools alone if you wanted. I'd agree that Flatpak would be pretty redundant if other package managers used ostree and could access its repos, but currently they cannot. It provides something different than your distro package manager.

The problem with our intellectual property laws are not who owns what. (as you suggest in some places). The problems are with our implementation. (as you have hinted at, but not clearly articulated)

Patents are being granted for trivial things, and the courts are to big and too expensive for individuals to be able to exercise the rights they already have.

All people should have equal power under the law (regardless of wealth), whether its an intellectual property dispute, a malpractice lawsuit, or some development application.
>> by an incorruptible chain of command and leadership by elected officials given privileged access.

Nope. All chains are corruptible. Nothing should ever be based on the idea that some core group of people is above reproach. That is the stuff of superhero movies. Realworld trust systems must be built on the basis that everyone and anyone might be a bad actor. All nodes should have oversight. All actors should be accountable to multiple levels of supervision. Everything should be documented. Those who become corrupt need to be detected and removed. When dealing with classified information the process will operate more slowly but must still take place.

What to you is better about goods compared to fun?

I always think of it as "you can't repossess a memory." Some of the best purchases I've made have been things like concerts, vacations, experiences with friends and family, while the goods and services don't stick in my memory.

I'm definitely not trying to say that your philosophy doesn't work for you, though. Spending money is a balance. You don't take it with you, but it's easy to waste too much.
You can send someone to prison if they hurt someone driving drunk or distracted. Can we do the same thing to Autopilot users? Someone has to be seriously punished when they hurt people, and unless there's some meaningful way to send Tesla to prison, the beta testers will have to do.

Judeo-Christian values are just that, values.
Many of those values have existed before that kind of religion and many will long after those religions have seized to exist in thair current form.
One could even argue that some form of values is genetically ingrained in us as a social species, as they are in many other species
> in the context of the Bible help is usually considered to come from outside the self

That’s something I try, struggle, and fail to put to words sometimes. One of Christianity’s strengths (maybe the bible, I’ve only read a few of its books) is that it externalizes the source of truth in a way that gives it more power and prevents or helps the individual not give themselves an excuse from following their beliefs.

For instance the Christian might say, ‘I heard the Holy Spirit say to me do such and such but I didn’t want to’. And since the source of the command is understood to be connected to the something outside the self it helps them act of the command/conviction.

So to see the Bible as a self help book you only need to disbelieve in an external god and take Jesus teachings as directions on how to live life. They’re external to the self in teaching but not in practice. (Assuming one does not believe in spirits)

PS while I can think of the Bible self help I don’t think it deserves that categorization as it differs too much from modern “self help” and it shouldn’t be lumped in with the likes of Joel Olsteen’s type of books.
The Human Side of ISPs
Everything that is listed in this article can be done non-religiously.

Personally, I've led groups and I understand about ritual, repetition, moving in unison and other techniques to create cohesiveness within the groups.

I don't think all of this started in religion. We see apes moving in tandem, their ritual of grooming each other, etc.

But, for some reason, people want to use these basic everyday knowledge and ascribe it to religion. I'm not saying religion doesn't use them, but they are hardly the first.

Think of sports teams. They all have their chants, wear the same colors, go to the same bars, commiserate on wins and losses. Any organization is like this. Humans naturally move towards this type of way of reacting. There is nothing special about religion.

Except the person who is religious will always have a limit to their rationality, because they choose "believe in magic" instead of "knowing and not knowing".
I've never been to Norway, but looking at the stats [1], isn't it a little too soon?

I’d take that one with a bit of a grain of salt - significant factions in the DND really didn’t want a hand-me-down facility in west Ottawa, they wanted to build something new across the river or downtown. There may have been strong inventive for some to “find” reasons to not occupy the former nortel campus.

They always have been corrupt, it’s just that in the past they’ve been better at keeping it quiet and had better PR. The “G-man” fighting organized crime goes pretty far in terms of positive public perception.

However, I would argue the FBI is likely less corrupt now than in the Hoover days when it was a one-man kingdom. More opportunities for leaks of electronic documents, etc.

A Brief History of Markov Chains
>> no one outside the airplane is going to bring the airplane safely to its next runway.

That is the western pilot culture. Russian pilots have a different approach. Rather than a lone pilot in control of "their" airplane, a Russian air force pilot is flying the people's airplane. In some situations nearly every action, every turn or switch, can be commanded by a ground controller. A western pilot will trust his over instruments over ground control. A Russian pilot will likely obey ground control over his own instruments. Neither culture is better or worse than the other, only different.

Go back to the 1950s and 60s and military aircraft, even in the west, were literally controlled by ground control. Autopilots were cued by ground control computers, thereby freeing pilots to manage other systems such as early radars. An aircraft, particularly an interceptor like the FOXBAT, was seen less as an aircraft under control of a pilot than a missile platform, an airborne SAM site. Ground controllers could manage the radars and even fire missiles.
This is in my opinion actually a decent interview question. If you know JS in detail, if you know how the "+" operator works, it's a super easy question. If you don't know JS in detail, if you don't know how the "+" operator works, it's pretty tough. If you want an engineer who knows JS in detail, asking this question can be valuable.
That is fair. I have not encountered them myself, nor ever been an interviewee where "tablestakes" is the bar and not "hard leetcode haha I know the answer and you don't~~", but I absolutely acknowledge, recognize, and understand that this is a real occurrence as well. In those cases, I wholeheartedly agree with the label.

I think the biggest travesty was that the Canadian government was unwilling (or unable) to go after Huawei (and China) for the damages that this attack caused. At this point, USA has almost completely destroyed Huawei's global consumer electronics business in retaliation for similar attacks on American companies[0][1]. There is no more such thing as a Huawei mobile phone, at least in western civilization.

That is the kind of response that I would expect. But I never heard about anything even close to that from the Canadian government.

DX today exists at lots of different levels, from competitive code games, to hackathons, to well formatted docs & code samples - all IMO form a larger umbrella of DX.

I still see it as an emerging field with more work done to synthesize under a single umbrella of being able to communicate abstraction levels, concept understanding, adding explainability to decision models and of course tailored for the skill tree at where the target developer today is at.

I don't think the "living nightmare" control flow graph is that bad?

B is once again a while(input == 0) loop, that exits to D. D and C together form a while(input == 1) loop, that exits to A. And A is again a switch between two routes, although in this case, rather than dispatching to one of two independent routes, it switches between a full route (go to B) and a partial route (jump straight to D); basically you could consider B and C to exist together in an if-block of sorts.
