He was an ok president, despite what the media say.

He didn't wreck the economy like democrats do, but he didn't cut spending which is the only sane thing to do.

We needed a Ron Paul, not Trump.
Unfortunately governments are a reflection of people and most people are pissed at the government. Trump didn't create angry people, he channeled the anti establishment sentiment like Berlusconi did 30 years ago in Italy.
Most likely, once they became the establishment the found out the system is engineered to be impossible to dismantle from the inside.

The only way out of this increasingly huge government is collapse.

I also tried Nix (as well as NixOS) but it's obviously difficult to use and has a very steep learning curve. But actually it might be the most flexible and stable package manager out there. So probably the problems mentioned can be fixed by custom configuration but that might require deep-diving into Nix and using Functional Programming for package configs... For some time I also used to just ./configure && make && make install (sometimes combined with stow) to my home dir, that worked also well but makes installing and upgrading tedious.

That said, I'm sticking to Homebrew. Not really sure about this auto-upgrading, maybe it can be deactivated, on the other hand probably it's a good way to keep packages updated.
easy to say if you're not the one being indiscriminately bombed
Meat, veg, fruits and nuts are expensive - and they go bad. You simply can't always afford them and sometimes you can't actually buy fresh stuff.

You see, a fair amount of poor folks get paid once a month, and since there aren't a lot of little grocery stores nearby, folks wind up buying food once and hoping it lasts the month.

Poor folks don't always have steady electricity nor a refrigeration, either: Living without a fridge makes your diet go to crap pretty quickly.

Time is another luxury poor folks have issues with, which also makes diets go awry.
Thanks for pointing this out because you’re totally right. When we were picking black as the color we were somewhat convinced it wouldn’t be an issue but it was nice to get confirmation once we built it, which we did by testing the interior temp on hot days to see how hot the interior would get.
“peaceful empire” is a total oxymoron. the concept of empire is predicated on the subjugation of other countries and people.

and please, citation very much needed on the assertion that China is more warlike than the US.
For one second there I thought it was referring to patent trolls.
As much as I dislike Trump, deplatforming is much more notable while he was in office than if it had happened afterwards.

I agree, though, that it does sometimes sound like it's being hinted that something more nefarious was happening when people talk about it like this.
Korean War, Grenada, first Iraq war, Somalia, Panama (depending on your view of conspiracy), Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo.
And 90% of Twitter's problems would be solved if they weren't trying to be maximally "useful" to every single person on earth all the time.

10 hours was just an arbitrary number, but there are plenty of more creative solutions. Shut down every March, or Weekday mornings, or every other hour.
In any measure of global per capita rates of violent deaths, or military spending as a fraction of global GDP, we are currently in a golden age. Certainly, across the millennia. Arguably, post industrialization.

If peace means quietly sitting in the corner while havoc is wrought around you, then no, America isn't very peaceful.
Yes, and this is why I do not understand why this exists in the first place.

Either you tick a mark and you get extra points, no questions asked - or you are subject to someone's appreciation and it does not matter if there are points or not because that person would have been positive or negative to your origins anyway.

If you go for subjective - there is planty of that anyway everywhere in the world (and as you said, good luck proving that you were discriminated)
Fair enough. This is the version of the spec that is slated for release next year:

https://tc39.es/ecma262/

Interestingly, I cannot find the console methods in there. Perhaps they are not part of the spec? I remember when Javascript was new (before 2000) it was said that Javascript was unique among languages for not having the concept of input and output.
why does the protocol by which bugs and problems get tracked matter, its not like you dont have an email address already... the bug reporting tool is mentioned on the packages page but not the most clear. http://www.pkgsrc.org/#index2h1
I very much dislike that autoupdate is the default. This is user-hostile.

I instructed you, brew to install something. Not to spend an eternity autoupdating things.
The show is bad, and aimed at the recent Star Wars crowd, but thankfully Dune is great, so go see that instead.
Sure, interesting idea, but this is not open source as it is widely understood or as it is defined by OSI.
Do you take issue with any particular ingredients, or is the implication just "long list bad"?

What are you calling a laxative?
If I were on a jury, I’d vote to nullify any scraping case that made it this far.
Get into gardening. It’s the ultimate leisure activity for people with too much time. And it’s a natural segue to fancy cooking which is also a fantastic time sink.
Democrats effect on the economy is mixed just like Republicans, and the truth is that the president does not actually control very much when it comes to what markets are doing. If the economy is good they take credit for it and if the economy is bad they blame the last president if they were of a different party.

Government tends to grow under every administration because that's what all the incentives inside government encourage. You get what you incentivize.

Libertarianism is a political loser because a libertarian political platform would ultimately be about making politics and thus politicians less important. No career politician is going to really do that, and you can't get to high office without making it a career unless you're a fluke like Trump. I think a lot of people supported him for that reason, but unfortunately he was the wrong kind of fluke.

BTW the worst president of the last 100 years was not Trump. It was George W Bush for the Iraq war alone. Trump was obnoxious and might have been dangerous if he had more actual power, but he did not do anything to even approach the damage Bush did with that decision. I also doubt there would have been a President Trump had Bush not burned the US' reputation to the ground.
>In what world does using software to marginalize people or mislead the public create a better world?

The road to hell ... something something ... good intentions.

Who defines what 'marginalization of people' means (a strange term if you really think about it), and why would you think they would get that definition right?
Why? The creators created the software, they can put any conditions they please on how others might use it. They're under no moral or legal obligation to allow people to use the fruits of their labors, except as they permit.
The emperor storyline is really the only thing worth watching. The rest is just boring, low-quality sci-fi.
Seconding this. Lighthouse on the vs-substack page gives a 82 on performance. That's a big difference, and is also under the 85 reported for Substack.
> Businesses frequently pay an effective tax rate of 70%, in part because they are breaking federal law and therefore aren’t able to take tax deductions, but also because politicians see the industry as a source of tax revenue and set higher rates

Massive taxation on legal dispensaries combined with relatively lax enforcement of illegal distribution is, of course, going to make the legal operations a tough sell.

What I didn’t realize is that some of these illegal dispensaries are apparently operating out in the open, out of actual storefronts according to this article. If enforcement is that lax and the legal route is taxed to an extreme then the outcome isn’t really surprising.
> You've never compiled GHC from source? How long does that take on your machine?

I have, but the point is that I don't have to, because there are transparent distributed builds in Nix that I utilise when I want to compile something big, as you say "real-world", fast. I split software into many small self-contained packages and delegate the work of compiling it all to remote machines configured for faster compilation times, and then I just pull complete binaries onto my laptop (https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/advanced-topics/distri...). Subsequent changes in smaller packages are rebuilt incrementally.

My point and the answer to your question ("And why is this state of affairs tolerated for decades?") is that GHC doesn't have to implement its own version of dev environment bootstrapping, distributed builds and other niceties as part of their core tooling, because it's already solved on other level of dev-infra tooling, they can just provide links to working solutions and explain them, for instance haskell.nix (https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix)

Who gets to decide what behavior is marginalizing? Despite what you think, that isn't universally agreed upon.
I think the other factor is scale. If I copy Mastodon and violate ALL conditions of the license, no one will care. This version will get 100Ks of users and as such is prominent in people's mind as a "just like Mastodon" clone. People will form opinions on Mastodon based on this implementation.
Is the spider's reaction to "hearing" a sound different than its reaction when an insect lands on the web? You'd expect it to react when the web vibrates.
So, now Facebook just throws the towel? Wouldn't be surprised if they will do the same in China (to access the market) and why not the US also?

Something very troublesome is happening at Facebook.
because some people should be marginalized less than others.
presumably the same one where freedom of speech is valued because the people empowered to make decisions for others about what is right or wrong can be wrong.

That might just mean the authors were smarter than their contemporaries, and realized that an air-traveling vehicle probably wouldn't look like a chariot.

Which does speak to their scientific knowledge, even absent an actual vehicle existing, given that their peers couldn't reason past "this thing we have on land, but in the air."
ABM campaign that generated $300k in revenue and had 37% reply rate
In this case study, I share the step-by-step process we used to run an ABM campaign for a high-ticket B2B service provider that generated $300k in revenue and a 37% reply rate (12 of 30 accounts replied).
Very true. Dune was a fantastic take on the motives and inspiration that Dune evokes. The Foundation needs another attempt. One day.
LOL, Yahoo! is incompetent. In blocking access from mainland China, they also blocked access from Japan. Several users from Japan are reporting on Reddit unable to access Yahoo.

One of the things I love about linotype text justification is that it’s actually really a solution to a mechanical problem - the machine needs to make a complete line of text every time without leaving gaps at the end of the mold, and squeeze all the character blanks together tightly to prevent lead from squirting out - so driving wedges in between words to squeeze them together is a neat solution to that problem. That it has the side effect of creating that characteristic newspaper column justified aesthetic is a consequence of an engineering decision, not so much a deliberate design choice.

Interesting article on this tech and its possible connection to our ongoing confusion about how many spaces go after a period: http://widespacer.blogspot.com/2014/01/two-spaces-old-typist...

It’s not conclusive, but there is definitely something to this and the linotype’s mechanical justification that I think overall emphasizes how much what we think of as aesthetic judgements about what makes for good typography are actually just things we’ve grown used to from the technical limitations and operational choices made by people using particular technologies in the past.
No need to fix.

> How can you possibly know that, if no person in the world had the MRNA vaccine more than 2 years ago?

That's what antivaxxers are asking. I'm not one of them. I ask, how can you know that the fact that you were exposed to covid won't cause cancers or strokes in few years or whatever if nobody had it more than two years ago? And you can skip arguments like it's just a flu because it isn't or that it's natural therefore not that bad as artificial vaccine because it makes your body do way more things it shouldn't do.

> The numbers are a small minority, but there are bad possible effects like ITP and other immune reactions, myocarditis, and other clotting issues, which are happening to _some_ people.

As I said, research whether vaccine raised the probability of those events occuring for those people is inconclusive (because numbers are so small that it's very hard to tell the signal from the noise) and even assuming vaccine had some role in some of these cases there's exacly zero proof that they wouldn't just got the same event or worse once they contracted covid.

> It is this tendency to obviously outright lie that makes a lot of people who would not otherwise be "anti-vax" mistrust the current massive push to force everyone to take these new vaccines.

Nobody lies about this, same way I'm not lying when I say you will not a win a grand prize in powerball lottery. Even though some people do, you won't, and more people die in traffic accidents when they drive to buy their lottery ticket so you have a better chance of that happening.

> Every time someone like you blows off these truths, they create more anti-vaxxers out of people who have had a bad reaction to a vaccine or know someone who has.

Everytime someone pays inordinate amount of attention to such extremely rare cases, when someone got some issue after they took vaccine even though there's no proof it had anything to do with that beyond possible faint correlation, even though there's no possible mechanism of vaccine causing anything that the virus itself wouldn't cause ... whenever you do that you are creating thousands of antivaxxers and cause people to make very bad decisions for themselves, their loved ones and everybody else.
Seconded, I've never had a problem with Macports, it just works.
I mean, first off, [citation needed], but...

Gold has utility. Some of that utility is solidly practical—it is needed in various kinds of manufacturing. Some of it is purely decorative/emotional, but that is still utility.

Bitcoin has no utility beyond "make lots of money for the people who got in early". I've been asking for years now, and I've never seen anyone give a valid use case for Bitcoin (and cryptocurrency in general); the answers are invariably along the lines of "you can use it to make money" (that's not a use case, you can literally do that with bottlecaps if you can convince people they're worth something) or "to take monetary power away from the eeeeevil statist oppressors" which is 1) wishful thinking (for reasons I outlined elsewhere in the comments on this article), and 2) not something that most people actually see as a good thing.
It may not be immediately obvious that all banks run their own "stablecoin": LD: "Ledger Dollars". How do "internal bank ledger dollars" differ from stablecoins?

As well, very many countries of the world "peg" their currency to the USD.

From https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/currency-peg.asp :

> Countries will experience a particular set of problems when a currency is pegged at an overly low exchange rate. On the one hand, domestic consumers will be deprived of the purchasing power to buy foreign goods. Suppose that the Chinese yuan is pegged too low against the U.S. dollar. Then, Chinese consumers will have to pay more for imported food and oil, lowering their consumption and standard of living. On the other hand, the U.S. farmers and Middle East oil producers who would have sold them more goods lose business. This situation naturally creates trade tensions between the country with an undervalued currency and the rest of the world.

> Another set of problems emerges when a currency is pegged at an overly high rate. A country may be unable to defend the peg over time. Since the government set the rate too high, domestic consumers will buy too many imports and consume more than they can produce. These chronic trade deficits will create downward pressure on the home currency, and the government will have to spend foreign exchange reserves to defend the peg. The government's reserves will eventually be exhausted, and the peg will collapse.

> When a currency peg collapses, the country that set the peg too high will suddenly find imports more expensive. That means inflation will rise, and the nation may also have difficulty paying its debts. The other country will find its exporters losing markets, and its investors losing money on foreign assets that are no longer worth as much in domestic currency.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exchange_...

Is this the game:

(A USD / B USD) * X = (C LD / D LD)

Who decides what the monetary bases - B USD and D LD - are? Should online games just keep issuing in-game currency? Are gift cards also stablecoins?

Perhaps "All of the World’s Money and Markets in One Visualization" could be updated to indicate which of the depicted assets are stablecoins and which are derivatives?

This is not correct. All you need is the command line tools, which brew tells you to install with `xcode-select --install`. No account needed.
Not just Stallman, it's incompatible with the OSI definition of open source.
>I can’t think of another country that I would like to have military supremacy.

You need to travel more.
What a surprise that those people happen to be neocons.

Somehow we're supposed to believe George W. Bush is a good guy after all.
I hope since you are so wise about the other chickens' violent fate you are also vegan.
I think this is a tu quoque fallacy.

In my view, it is OK to invoke personal feelings about whether personal feelings should be invoked in relation to the enforcement of a software license.
> On Oct 26, we sent a formal letter to Truth Social’s chief legal officer, requesting the source code to be made publicly available in compliance with the license. According to AGPLv3, after being notified by the copyright holder, Truth Social has 30 days to comply or the license may be permanently revoked.

IANAL, but this reads to me as if they don't comply in time[1], they might lose the license, rendering the statement incorrect.

[1] I don't know if they have to comply in 30 days, if the service is currently offline. Maybe they have 30 days after release?
If you knew human flesh to be the most tasty substance on Earth, would you want to keep eating it?

(No, obviously eating people is not equivalent on all levels to eating non-human animals. But merely tasting good isn't a very sensible reason to eat something on its own)
The scenarios where that can happen:

1. Bad budgeting or lack of diversification. "95% of my money was in Enron"

2. Confirmation Bias. "I build a successful company once, I can do it again, but this time with my own money"

3. Hedonic Treadmill. "Flying commercial is so annoying, I'm going to fly private, and figure out how to pay for it later"
I'll look it up for you a little later.

OpenBSD altered malloc/free to use mmap instead of sbrk.

This allowed free to remove larger allocations from the address space, which caught a lot of programs that were using memory after free.

Which part of the world? The US? Eastern Europe? South America?

The barrier to "convincing" and "cheap" are very high.
I've never had a problem with Macports and am wondering exactly the same thing. "Comically unreliable"?!
I've personally had very good experiences switching back from Homebrew to MacPorts. Wouldn't go back to Homebrew.

I find it much faster now, which is quite funny to me because back when Homebrew was new (and a lot less opinionated) it was much faster than MacPorts, especially with the bottles (binary packages) feature.

Today, MacPorts has binary packages, doesn't randomly force incredibly slow updates when I just want to quickly install something or run a package search, has entirely opt-in telemetry through installing a package (mpstats) and still lets me customise packages (through the variants system, which is more powerful than the with --with-feature system Homebrew seems to have abandoned).

The only pain point I've found is upgrading to new macOS releases, though I've often found just reinstalling MacPorts itself will get me going again in a pinch without having to take inventory of my installed ports and reinstall everything from scratch.
It is strategic competition and china and Russia (and USA to then) is actively active. And there could be war even.

It is just have to wake up on both sides not to rely upon each other. China should not use USA thing as well … if they can choose.
Which country that has a realistic shot at military supremacy right now would you prefer and why? I can only think of two, and neither would be good for the rest of the world.
