For your everyday stage->commit->pull->push I think magit is damn near perfect. Staging individual files, or even individual blocks is simple and not verbose (unlike cli equivalents). Picking out eg. problems with my gitignore I find to be easier while looking at the magit status page as well. I think conflict resolution also bears looking at.

For other things... you'd have to ask somebody else. I generally do any type of branching or merging or similar using the git cli, and that's part of the beauty of magit: she doesn't care when I cheat on her that way.
Why is Windows 11 the only one that you don't give a reason?

Vista was just complete shit BTW... I skipped over it to Windows 7. Switched completely to Linux after that.
The police job attracts most people who do not have a college degree, are white, and lean into conservative/justice-heavy politics. Many of those people are bullies. That doesn't mean anything about people that do not have a college degree, or white people, or conservative/justice-heavy politics, it just means something about the police job and the people who agree to take it. We're looking at probability of (white AND lower college education) given (bully AND police officer), not probability of (bully) given (white AND low college education).

The closer you get down to beat-cop-that-interacts-with-citizens, the less likely you are to find a four-year degree or "conventionally liberal" beliefs. (Not that a college education or liberal beliefs confer any useful predictors about common sense, wisdom, ethical beliefs, or honesty.) This implies that anyone with a four-year degree and conventionally liberal beliefs is going to have a hard time understanding or influencing police officers by using any tactics that work on other liberal college graduates.

I agree with you that there are bullies from all political persuasions and education levels, but a very specific type of aggressive personality self-selects into the police job at a higher rate than in other jobs that require a similar background. Additionally, even if 99% of police officers in the US weren't aggressive and weren't bullies, that still leaves 10,000 "bad cops". It doesn't take many "bad cops" to make people angry and uncomfortable with the police in general.

In case my original message wasn't clear, I'm actually criticizing U.S. supporters of police reform for wanting police work to be perfect and ethical without actually volunteering to become police themselves. These (mostly left-leaners) entrust the enforcement of civil society to a group of people who mostly don't respect or agree with them, which is ineffective and hypocritical.
That may be your experience, certainly not mine. I do remember than from the days of windows.

Absolutely, if I travel with a company laptop and I am asked to unlock it I'll outright refuse and cite that I can and will be sued by my employer if I unlock it, and will direct the airport security to my employer's legal team.

For future readers: this is true (drivers/update problems), but easily fixable with for example Timeshift, or snapper (like openSUSE)

There have always been plenty of terminal options on Windows.

I have observed that Bamboo lumber is quite strong despite being soft. It looks natural and stylish in which you can get at an affordable price.
I have updated my laptop across 4 major releases of Debian now, never reformating the system. And the copy of my home directory (think user profile in windows) is even older. If you don't know what you are doing, saving a full system backup to an external hard drive is actually easy so you can try things and revert if it doesn't work.

> this case turns on one of the most fundamental protections in our constitutional system: an accused person’s ability to exercise his Fifth Amendment rights without having his silence used against him.

A very interesting tidbit I learned here on HN a couple years back — the Supreme Court ruled in 1992 that you have to declare out loud an intent to invoke your Fifth Amendment rights, if you haven’t been formally arrested yet. Literal “silence” may be acceptable after being Mirandized, but not necessarily before.

“Question: Does the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause protects a defendant's refusal to answer questions asked by law enforcement before he has been arrested or read his Miranda rights?”

No, by 5-4 vote.
Men can address that.
Funny, that's why I still use Windows on my desktop.
Can you explain what you mean by "the natural state"? Your argument assumes an understanding of what that is, but the picture I have in my mind when I read that phrase is not scarcity of everything.
Some of the terms being used are getting more and more ‘artistic’ too - I’ve seen a lot more use of the term ‘manufactured wood’ for instance, and like you’re noting hybrid ‘core is mdf, edges are real wood, top is veneer’ type stuff that you have to dig to find out, and that is way more complicated than the ‘traditional’ mdf+veneer junk.
The top reason NOT to switch to Linux should be "Because someone told you to." The Linux community has a terrible problem with proselytizing and then gatekeeping ("Welcome to Linux! Oh, you're using Linux Mint? Get fucked, then.")

You can run Adobe software on it for cheaper than the cost of getting a Mac. And you can run an enormous number of games which aren't available on Linux or Mac at all. At least that's why I do it.
"Happiness/contentment" is effectively a "balancing thermostat" of our motivation, a functional aspect that is used by our bodies to regulate our behavior and thus, if it functions properly (as opposed to certain diseases e.g. anhedonia in clinical depression) its long term average will be pretty much the same no matter how well you do, it's almost orthogonal to any metric of actual wellbeing. For example, studies show both winning excessive amounts of money in lotteries and sustaining major life-changing injuries (e.g. losing limbs or causing other disabilities) do not correlate with happiness in the long-term. Happiness effectively reflects (a) recent short-term changes to wellbeing; (b) momentary expectations or worries about future wellbeing; and (c) innate baseline happiness. It's not a reflection of how well someone is living; in essence, people living long-term in a literal gulag may easily have on average the same overall happiness/contentment as living in a nice first world upper-middle-class environment.
> The majority of the world is made up of people like like me.

No, it really isn't. You are a rather pathetic troll account trying to amuse us I guess, but I have seen better work from the 4chan crowd. Your limited understanding of history and current politics is not even worth engaging in. Enjoy being wrong and no one really caring.
A lot of people apparently run into hardware support issues with Linux.

Personally, I have not had any issues in about fifteen years, but I cannot blame people for expecting their hardware to Just Work (tm). Back in the day, I enjoyed spending a weekend getting sound or wifi to work, but these days not so much.

At the same time, hardware support has gotten so much better over the twenty one years I have been using Linux, so it is much less of a hassle today.
They have 2 built in ones. powershell and cmd. CMD has been there forever and works mostly like MSDOS (mostly). powershell is pretty neat and is in many ways better than bash once you understand it. They have also in the past 2-3 years actually fixed up some very long standing issues with the shells. There is also an experimental shell manager in the windows store which is kind of nice. You can also install other unix shells if you want. But being different systems they can get a bit quirky.
This is obvious to me, but it seems to be lost on many people who want to change how police work is done. It's like saying that chefs ought to be responsible for punishing each other when they spit in people's food.
It's good to have savings for when times get bad. Then you can afford to buy things like door dash to get through the bad times. Investing in your education is also good, so that you have valuable skills even when money gets devalued.

That some people can not save up for various reasons does not imply the people who did save for hard times are to blame.

If it angers you, don't work for door dash. Odds are, the people who worked for door dash were actually happy they had a job during the pandemic.
Out of curiosity, how are battery life and touchscreen support coming along? Those are the things that killed Linux for me last time.
My feelings about unions (or at least how they're done in the US) are mixed, but Amazon warehouse employees are a perfect fit for a union. Workers clearly have a case of being subject to poor working conditions while being a commodity, Amazon has few reasons not to fire someone and hire somebody new off the street.
Do we really need yet another list of algorithms to memorize for interviews? Is another list going to make a better JavaScript engineer? Will help me understand JavaScript better? Will it help me on the job? Will it make me a faster and better React developer?

The obvious answer to all of the above rhetorical questions - fuck no.

That being said, it is still a topic of interviews, so I will up-vote bc this is pretty good implementation, even though this repo has been submitted to HN at least 4 times in the past.

Someone also mentioned Mnemonist [1] - that one is nice too.

Is there any practical reason use, say, a linked list from this library vs javaScript's native growable array. You can use unshift() to delete in the middle.
OTOH, 11 is the first version of Windows where Microsoft actively tells a large portion of their userbase that they don’t want them to run it. I’m not a believer in “the year of the Linux desktop” either, but those insane policies around fictitious hardware requirements surely must have some impact on market share?
That's not the meaning of the analogy.

A Constitutional right or law prevents the state from harming you in exactly the same way a gun free zone sign stops a school shooter from murdering you.
>A night or two in jail won't change your life

A night or two in jail absolutely can change your life.

A night or two in jail means not being able to pick your kid up from daycare or take care of pets/family, A night or two in jail means missing work without any notice. Hope your boss is understanding, because if you lose your job you're on your way to losing everything.

A night or two in jail means you now need enough in savings to get your car out of the impound lot, pay bail if needed, pay for a lawyer, and have a couple of years to spend on defending yourself in court or you might actually go away for a longer time.

A night or two in jail means having an arrest record, if you live in a state with "sunshine laws" you'll forever get extortion calls about how they'll remove your mugshot and information from their website for $500. That makes getting future jobs harder, or you need to spend even more time and money getting the records sealed/removed.

And that's not even touching on the physical toll that being arrested and treated like sub-human has on you. Being shoved to the ground, physically thrown into a cell, fearing for your life while multiple guns are pointed at your head knowing you are one misunderstanding away from dying, getting tazed while multiple cops laugh and yell for you to stop resisting.
I honestly tried multiple times, I really wanted it to work for me. I have XPS 9570 and I simply could not get basic stuff to work, like fingerprint reader, trouble with proprietary gpu drivers etc. There was always something not working, something throwing an exception, something that requires this one simple bash command to get to work. I just gave up. I tried few most popular distros on multiple laptops over last 8 years and there was always a problem with something. When I was younger I had no problem with that, but now... I simply don't care enough to go through it, I just install Windows and continue with my mediocre life.

Keep in mind these aren’t what you would get if you cut down some bamboo and used them. They’re usually processed, compressed, and a high % by weight of glue or epoxy. Many of them are harder and tougher than all but a tiny percent of exotic hard woods.
It still too soon to know what problems and pains will Windows 11 cause.
I find that bullies can be found in equal proportions in both parties, but I do agree that the type of bully who is willing to walk the street with a gun in the name of justice does have a more welcoming home in one major party than the other.
A 200-word article on a three-word tweet.
In some instances maybe, in others it might be good. It can also be a gamble.

If you're afraid for your safety or they are clearly overstepping their bounds, then complying and fighting it in court is basically the only option (even though it's possible you still get screwed). Otherwise, knowing an asserting your rights can be good, but you have to hope the cop isnt unhinged, dirty, or totally incompetent.

That is because the author didn't intend for a personal critique of class exploitation, but for a societal critique. So if you think that a critique exploitation means that the movie has to portray rich people as personally evil you won't find it. If you admit that such a critique can be predominantly systemic you will find it.

The lower classes fighting amongst themselves needlessly because they don't see that they can work together is like, class struggle 101.
I thought the standard benefit of the doubt implies that I am not here to tell stories just because I am bored.

I've known such people, yes, three of them. Law-abiding normal people whose only mistake was that they were in a hurry and were slightly rude to the police officers because of it.

Technically, each and every claim of somebody can be disputed to death. That's why I invoked your right to not trust what strangers say on the internet. Still, I thought it was a given that I have some exposure to the claimed phenomena.
The GPGPU developer experience has a long way to go
28 years of Linux at home and about 20 of them with full linux (ie, no windows at all). I feel sooooo great.

- I update when I want to (but admitedly, I have to understand what each lib is about; not for the end user)

- I don't feel constantly baby-sitted

- Nobody pushes his "latest new version that I must try unless I tell I don't want to"

- the window manager just does the job

- when I want to understand what happens, I can definitely look in the code, on the web, etc.

- there's a community of people like me :-)

but that's true, now and then, there's this tricky config stuff I want. Nothing fancy, but certainly out of reach for regular users, such as : making the sound mono; fixing grub 'cos debian's update screwed it; installing stuff which is not in the repo, fixing KDE's theme install gone wrong,...

But now, to me it's more of a choice : either you get advertisment and a real feeling of being screwed versus sometimes there's something tricky to fix...

(and 28 years ago, that choice didn't exist. It was either an almost working Windows versus 3 months of ./configure;make install until the go*amn sound card could play something... such a long way)
For some of these, Windows wins against MacOS as well.
And I have the impression, every Mac OS release, I have to debug the C++ dev environment of my students. 3 years ago I was praying that a new student had a MAC, because I could get them going easily. Now I'm praying they are on Windows, because WSL+Ubuntu just works. (I'm not praying they have Linux, because that realistically never happens. Would be great though.)
Music making software is really lacking on Linux compared to Windows and Mac.

The bamboo in our yard in Arkansas is about 30 ft tall already, only a couple years old. Pine is much softer and easier to work with as a general wood.
Ha, yeah I knew that analysis of how to do second order adjoints fast :), in what is basically documentation no less. I figured someone would probably do a ML paper on that eventually. I have had a hard time judging, what is non-trivial in the past, aswell. The next thing that they will probably discover is Jet spaces and Hopf algebras.

I'm also slightly salty because a recent paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.03902.pdf) claimed "Differentiable event handling generalizes many numerical methods that often have specialized methods for gradient computation,...", citing one of our results. We instead went through the trouble to find a semi-complete list of prior work, which would make it abundantly clear that what they claim as new is in fact traceable to a paper by Rozenvasser in ~1965 (we translated it from Russian to make sure), with a long history of more recent work. In fact I think DifferentialEquations.jl just supports this out of the box and has non-broken event-handling (their implementation tests against a product of jump conditions).

I am aware of those benchmarks :). I will probably adopt your library for this very reason, although I have to say that I really don't like Julia as a language. It is pretty clear that besides Sundials, PETSC and other C++ based libraries, you are rapidly becoming the only game in town. As much as I am tempted I really shouldn't be handwriting integration routines :). I don't think you need a random internet stranger to tell you that, but it is abundantly clear that DifferentialEquations.jl provides far more long-term value than these types of machine learning papers.
What issues do people have with PG? I also enjoy his later essays.

But I guess he is too rich now, so it is mandatory to hate him?
I think it's contrary to currently-recommended ops practice (clearly imperative rather than nominally declarative), but how is it bad security practice? If you don't trust the origin, it's not like saving to a temporary file first is going to help you. Unless you're suggesting that everyone should always do their own code review and then compile from source...
I'm just impressed that this hasn't devolved into Fedora vs Debian/Ubuntu yet via "yes, but which flavor?" arguments.
Exactly the point. The police can waste your time. Those people can’t go to work and will likely lose their job because they are being jammed up by police.
yes Cult of V8 is no more...
I missed an upgrade cycle and didn't upgrade for like 18 months*. turns out EVERYTHING BREAKS. They actually delete the f'ing repos and you can't upgrade, you just get a wall of 404s.

I understand the "We only to support on LTS releases" argument but I didn't think that meant "We actively sabotage our short-term releases".

Huge huge huuuuge barrier for normies IMO.

* FWIW, I didn't upgrade when it was prompted because I was "too busy sawing to sharpen my saw" so-to-speak. I was on a major project, have known video card issues with upgrading, and was worried I'd be unavailable for work for 3 days trying to fix my UI. So I waited until the next LTS to upgrade. Turns out you can't go from an old STS to the next LTS and you have to baby-step through the STS's ... which no longer exist. wtf.

:pretend-this-is-a-flame-emoji:
I'm surprised that the Military would share all the details of their test with CNN and the pubic. You would think they would keep such tests and missile development secret. Perhaps this is some new policy of sharing testing results openly with China and Russia while at the same time heaping praise on their (China / Russia) progress and development of missiles that could annihilate the USA?
A few days ago I randomly read about how Zuckerberg tried to serve Dorsey a goat he killed. Seeing their names in the headline just made me think about it again:

All that tells you is the timezone the user was in (or if you're unlucky the timezone the server was in) when the data was recorded. So it's not usually very valuable information.

It doesn't tell you anything about the time zone this particular user would want to see it in today, which depends on quite a few factors including where they are and what the timestamp relates to (booking, event, log of past events etc).
Amen. Hell, I might be one of those dummies.

force = 7kg times 10N/kg = 70N (roughly)

So yes, more like 70W
And iTerm2 on macOS is a better terminal than any I've come across on Linux. The lack of iTerm2 is actually the reason I daily drive macOS at work instead of Linux in the first place.
P.S. I am in the somewhat unique situation of being "smart enough", but far from the smartest person in the room, so I can struggle and am close enough to the "incompetent" line to see it clearly, and it's a scary place. On the other hand, I can do enough to understand how truly fast "hyper-intelligent" people think at work to understand the difference, and it's a stark difference.
I think the author might be facing a burnout. Something that I previously faced and can sympathize with.

All forms of work are a trap. You trade time for money which you use to buy things. Time can be precious and things superfluous. But more or less we all have to find ways of earning money and programming for some could be a passion and pay more than the average.
That amounts to taking a dump in the middle of the conversation and walking away. If you aren’t here to participate in the discussion why say anything at all?
