I should revise my question. I get the burying part to an extent as the body does need to go somewhere, and being able to build funeral pyres isn't always an available option. However, I never understood the part of the coffin that prevents natural processes to occur. It all sounds like someone came up with a solution to a problem that didn't exist. Even for religions that believe in resurrections, do people think their corpses are going to be reanimated a la Lazurus or that an all knowing all powerful deity couldn't just create a new something? It's all just so logic defying.
So glad to hear this.
>If you think being against racism is just code for being anti-white

They specifically said "anti-racism' which does not mean "against racism", any more than the Patriot Act was Patriotic. It's a word game played by groups of people seeking to legitimize their racism against specific groups of people who tend to overachieve (ie asian, ashkenazi jews etc). It's big with the same group of people who have replaced racial equality with racial equity. At the end of the day, it's just all about "positive racial discrimination" in their mind.

Hopefully someone will create a "Bundle to Reimburse Small Businesses, Property Owners, Ordinary People, Firefighters, and Law Enforcement Harmed by All the Riots". An estimated $2B in property damages alone, not to mention all of the injuries to both regular citizens and law enforcement [0]. All for a guy who just wanted to drive on public roads high on meth and fenty. :/

Nobody ended those freedoms categorically. Those freedoms still exist in the context of personal association and most group associations.

But (like any business owner) if a minority business owner wants to incorporate and exchange money with the public for goods and/or services, their rights are curtailed like everybody else's are regarding who they may not refuse service to. For example, a black business owner isn't allowed to kick white people out. They are allowed to kick Klansmen out (as per federal law; states may place additional restrictions).

It is the nature of societies that we give up some rights to protect others. The law is one long, ongoing conversation on what that trade-off looks like. And in the specific case, I'm of the opinion that we tried it the other way (refraining from curtailing the right for a business to refuse service universally) for at least a hundred years and found that it didn't make a good society.
How are the two mutually exclusive?
Sure. It works differently for every language/platform e.g. for Java it uses a JVMTI agent. This connects to the backend server which then connects to the IDE.

This lets you send action commands to production without having a debug session into you K8S cloud.
One of my favorite things to think about is trying to imagine an alien species with a completely different system of counting and measurement.

Would they start with 2D numbers (like our “complex” numbers)? Would fractions be the default way of counting instead of whole numbers?

Or something completely different, like thinking of color shades instead of “words” when thinking of numbers as we do.
No, it's not. We are arguing semantics.
War is the ground-truthed rule of kill or be killed. This is artillery being used to cause a nuclear incident. Maybe it’s to draw international troops in for emergency remediation. Maybe it’s to spread radiation to demonstrate the consequences of resisting.
> the only real defence against a nation using nuclear weapons against you is to try to wipe them out before they wipe you out

Thankfully, that has been thought of and, as much as possible, planned for.

How do you decrease the incentive for a preemptive strike? By building your nuclear arsenal so that it can survive one. There are 3 main things that help achieve this:

(1) Put your nukes somewhere where even a direct hit from an enemy nuke will not destroy them. That's why missile silos are underground.

(2) Hide your nukes. The enemy can't take out your nukes if they don't know where they are. Fixed-location nukes are bad at this. Mobility is good, but road and rail are not the best forms of mobility. Nukes in planes are better. Nukes in submarines are really good.

(3) Have lots of nukes. If the enemy can destroy 90% of your nukes with a preemptive strike but 10% of your nukes would still easily be enough to wipe them out, then a preemptive strike still doesn't achieve its goal. One way to increase nukes cheaply and effectively is with MIRVs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_independently_targeta...), which means one missile has multiple nuclear warheads that can independently hit different targets.

Basically, all this was thought out pretty thoroughly during the Cold War. The well-known acronym MAD stands for Mutually-Assured Destruction, and the importance of the assured part has not been overlooked.

He should be forced to resign. This is not helpful at all to American foreign policy, and very helpful to Putin

This is the same guy by the way that was standing up for Trump's shakedown of Zelensky not so long ago.

And besides if he wanted to inspire someone to kill Putin calling them Brutus isn't the right way as he's mainly historically just seen as a traitor and no one cared why he did it besides his contemporaries
Why? It’s basically a giant dirty bomb.
Excercising your wrists and arms is absolutely one of the best ways to avoid RSI in my experience. I think the advantages of using ergonomic layouts are perhaps overstated in some cases, I find that if I allow my hands to 'float' a little and move around more freely my fingers find the keys easily, and I don't need to worry about planting my wrists in a fixed position and having them at an uncomfortable angle.

I imagine ergonomic designs probably makes the most sense for people that do large volumes of typing with high WPM. For me I just really like the compact layout of my FC660C, small boards allow me to have a mouse either side, swapping mouse hands is another great way to avoid RSI.
Ukraine isn't in the EU. Using this argument would mean the US blowing up oil infrastructure in the Middle East was also an attack on EU infrastructure.

This would definitely not work here in New Hampshire, which has very rocky soil. The state's motto, "The Granite State" is as much a farmer's lament as it is a description of the steadfastness of its residents. In fact, many 100-year-old cemeteries are built UP from the ground, since it's so hard to plant a coffin six feet deep here using just a shovel and a pick.

I wonder if Germany will reconsider their anti-nuclear power stance...
You seem to have misunderstood what I was saying. I never said its not your job to distribute your software to your users in general, I said it is not your job to distribute via distro specific packages and repos. Even if you wanted to do this you can't since you don't have the necessary permissions to contribute code to most or even any of the repos in question.

I am not against providing a static binary or image (or whatever) by the way, this is probably the best thing that you can do!

I was just trying to clear up the misunderstanding about distro specific packages and who creates and maintains them since most people don't have much experience with the process.

It's also worth nothing that this isn't really a one way or the other deal, you can provide a portable method and people can package your software eventually. I think the two styles work very well with each other.
Yeah, but the fact that a Ukranian actually has one. I was going to make an "In Soviet Russia..." style joke, but a quick reading of the room suggested not good timing.

It's fun, isn't it? One of the saddest things about aging is I never again will be a 17 year old blonde girl who looked like Rapunzel with a decade of programming experience in the mid-00s. The dissonance drove people insane.
Then ask how often one is on call. One week out of every 4 weeks? 8 weeks? 12 weeks?

I share your concern - it's why I've never taken an on call job. But I've still interviewed for some and am willing to babysit a laptop once every 6-8 weeks if they typically get a small number of calls - provided there are other benefits to the job (learn something new, higher pay, etc).
Keychron seems to be the current best value, just choose a model based on whether you like low profile laptop-style keys or taller desktop keyboard keys.
Yes but nuclear power is the solution to all of the world's problems if we just ignore war, earthquakes, tsunamis, corporate greed and waste disposal!

That is indeed very compact. I like compact keyboards too. You didn't mention gaming so I'm going to assume you don't care too much about that.

If you live near a Best Buy, pay one a visit, they usually have keyboards on display which you can type on. I suggest trying at least the following:

1. Logitech MX Keys Mini. This provides a very nice laptop-like typing experience.

2. Logitech G815/915. This is a "gaming" keyboard with low profile mechanical clicky ("blue") switches.

Based on that, you can decide if you care about mechanical switches or not. If you really like the low-profile clicky feeling, the Logitech are great, but wide compared to your Thinkpad, and also expensive (>$200). Keychron has narrower versions with lots of customizability. There's some other vendors too, here's a list [1].

If you prefer the laptop-like typing experience, the MX Keys and the new Mini variant are very popular, for a good reason.

Afghanistan won because they literally lived in caves and herded goats; they had nothing to lose but their lives. Modern adversaries to Russia have plenty to lose.

It’s a Geiger counter. It’s cheaper than having an oscilloscope, which wouldn’t be “understated” either.
I use the Microsoft sculpt [0]

It is a membrane keyboard, not mechanical, but it works well for me. The numpad is separate from the main keyboard, so that works well too.

It is wireless - which is a good thing and a bad thing. Good because it is convenient, bad because unlike the logitech M series, if you lose the usb radio, I don’t think you can order a replacement, so the keyboard becomes useless.

What about Russia's previous failure in Afghanistan, though? They weren't trying to install a democracy there.
Apart from the "no malevolence" assumption effectively making any assertions meaningless, “by default” are key words here.

I agree that games that has been commercially available sometime in the last year shouldn't be pirated (and I'm not sure at what point in time after the last time it was commercially available that it becomes permissible, and so I haven't pirated any games, unless you count an unreleased in-progress demo of a game that got discovered, and which I have a physical copy of what the game eventually became).

But my hardware is mine. I can do what I want with it.

That's confirmation bias, no?
> I can't think of a guerrilla war since WWII that hasn't been successful.

Modern Western countries haven't had much of a history of successful insurgencies. Hungary and Czechoslovakia were both invaded by the USSR (along with Warsaw Pact allies), and it didn't result in an insurgency. We shouldn't exclude WWII either, since that was the last time many of Western nations were invaded by outside powers. The resistance movements never seriously threatened Axis rule in Western Europe.

Everyone seems to be expecting a large Afghan style insurgency, but I think it's far from certain that it will happen.
I follow quite of bit of celeb news, and I really don't understand the stardom of this dude.

For those who don't know, Kim Kardashian getting with Pete Davidson has sent Kanye West through an appalling emotional episode, with absolutely no restraint on publicly sharing his animosity towards Pete.

Just today Kanye posted a music video of him kidnapping, burying neck deep, and decapitating Pete Davidson.

It's just weird to me how someone like him is in the spotlight (or crosshairs) as a mediocre comedian.

Every time I see him in headlines, it's always about who he's dating or who he's having dinner with. Never is it about his own work.

I don't get it.
The smartest people I know simply don't find them distracting. They also don't consider them stupid or fake; they have better things to do than argue whether people deserve equal treatment with dignity and mostly do their best to just treat people with equal dignity.

I don’t know. The median income in Russia is way higher than the median income in Ukraine. Putin is old, he’ll be gone soon. Poor people are better off without a war . they wouldn’t vote for war over over annexation. they might prefer to be annexed by eu or the us.
I've really enjoyed using my Ultimate Hacking Keyboard. It's helped me get over a lot of wrist pain, and I love how customizable it is (every key can be customized to send any scancode, macro, mouse, etc.). I also have the touchpad and extra key modules.

Not cheap, but I use it for ~8 hours every workday.

This is a problem I was struggling with until recently.

Specifically, I prefer low profile keyboards like the Apple magic keyboards. The problem I was having is that I wanted a low profile keyboard and mouse that I could easily switch between my Mac laptop and windows desktop.

I looked for a kvm for months that would address my specific needs for mouse/keyboard and 2 monitor setup (1440p gaming displayport / 4K uhd usb-c).

I finally found the Logitech MX keys and mouse combo. It's low profile and feels good for me. Plus it specifically has built in device switching. For monitor switching I just manually change the inputs as needed.

If they want to, that's up to them. It wouldn't surprise me if China did do something like this.

Hey, (1) I personally am not a global hegemon. (2) I was describing the way things are not how they ought to be. You should work on distinguishing is from ought; if you can't you'll never understand anything.

FWIW I personaslly think a fair bit of US policy is both immoral and self defeating. But, again, that's irrelevant, because as I said, geopolitics isn't a morality play.

> Where are you going to get your silicon chips from if the Republic of China reunifies with the People's Republic of China?

I'm European and I think the EU should be self-sufficient in chips. This is because any polity that isn't won't in the long term be fully independent.

> US wants to play by different rules than everyone else, not sure that works long term.

"The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must" is a rule thast's worked so for for all 5000 years of recorded history (with a few counterexamples). Is that lnog term enough for you? Is that just? No. Does it matter (i.e. affect the course of events)? Not usually.

> I hope you're ready for the era of multiple US-hostile nuclear powers.

A world with lots more nuclear powers may well happen, depending on the result of the present Russia-Ukraine war.

In a large and varied company like the New York Times you’re going to have multiple
Unions representing different workers. The printers won’t usually be in the same union as the tech workers.

You’ll always have a mix of union and non-union work since managers can’t be in the union and certain types of work may not be covered by one of the current unions.
The idea seems like a winner but a big flaw is that you need to dig a pilot hole. If that's the case then just dig the hole a bit larger and burry a regular coffin standing up. Or, for that matter, a tightly wrapped body can just be placed standing up. If somehow you could skip the pilot hole then it would be a great solution. I don't know enough to give an educated opinion but the screw in solution is certainly a creative one. I suspect that it has other uses.

Bingo. Unfortunately NATO made it very clear to everyone over the past eight years that it's not going to spill blood over Ukraine.

... But now that the opportunity to trap Putin in a quagmire has presented itself, it does seem to be ready to flood the region with weapons. Had it done so at any point in the preceding eight years, war might well have been avoided.

Which leads me to think that avoiding war was never the goal.
Once Putin is gone, it may well happen that Russia and America become friendly.
This also describes an environment where the union doesn't seem to be offering any significant benefits to developers. If unionizing doesn't improve your working conditions, what's the point of the union?
That’s absolutely insane that a union can prevent people from working for a company without paying for their “protection”.
But in the days of "as far back as we can go", the non-Pharoh common people weren't buried in air tight sarcophagi like just about everyone is today. Back then, it was dig a hole and lay the body in, fill in the hole. Nature took care of the rest. Now, we're arrogantly thinking that someone's bones are going to be something someone some day wants to care about, so we better preserve them in a metal box.

Yes, I'm being deliberately obtuse to try to demonstrate just how odd it is.
