> You’re probably overestimating the network effects of perceived morality and underestimating the effects of being by far the most powerful nation since 1945.

I am? What basis do you have for saying that? Do you have expertise in this field? Do you know more about it than I do?

The US has been the sole superpower only since the Soviet Union imploded in the early 1990s. The US led and leads an alliance based on shared values; NATO is arguably the strongest, largest, and IIRC the longest-lasting military alliance in history. Note that the US is a great ally even of the countries it defeated in war, Japan and Germany, probably because it gave them their freedom rather than pillage and destroy them. There is zero threat of betrayal and war between NATO allies - France and Germany will never fight, something that never happened before.

The people with expertise say that shared values create strong, long-lasting alliances that can change and move relatively rapidly and with flexibility. For example, imagine the response to Ukraine if there weren't shared values about democracy, soveriegnty, and appeasement of dictators - those baseline beliefs enabled a rapid response. It's the people without expertise who like to imagine that amorality is more 'hardcore' and 'real'; somehow it's trendy to insist that humans must be sociopaths, despite abundent evidence to the contrary.

> If China doesn’t implode and becomes way more powerful than the United States, we will lose most of our allies regardless of popular opinion.

That's not how international relations typically work. Usually, if one country becomes much more powerful, the others ally with each other against the power in order to balance it. The US is unusual in that the other powers allied with them.

But again, what basis is there for your claim?
Many would say the same thing about US democracy, would they not?

You're conflating DMD (the reference compiler) with the language here. LDC and GDC (the LLVM and GCC based D compilers) both support GCC style "extended" inline assembly[0] and LDC even allows you to write inline LLVM IR.

Since 2006, what have they accomplished?

Bug fixes, sure. They managed to alienate a bunch of people from gcc, which was fun. Their anti-DRM campaign is over a decade old and is running on fumes with no accomplishments.

This is the same organization that when Windows 8 came out, they protested outside Microsoft stores and handed out copies of GNU Trisquel - an OS with only FOSS code back in 2012, which to this day runs on very few systems and likely caused everyone who got copies to look on open source as a buggy flop and actively undermined the cause.

Let's consider an airline.

If that is true then the bot isn't really an accurate representation of gender pay disparity as much as it is a representation of position pay disparity.

Seems to me you can make anything sound ominous with your choice of writing style. In 1982 I was advised not to use ATM machines because it would enable government surveillance of our spending. That was breathlessly silly, too.

Most vinegar is filtered and pasteurized.

In the context of the relation with gastric cancer, pickling is about fermentation, not acidity. The studies suggesting a relationship are all epidemiological and suggest a weak link at best [1].

The stomach is already very acidic; much more acidic than vinegar, which makes both gastric cancer and any potential benefits unlikely.

Which it did.

While the British assurance to Poland was:

It's not controlled by the US government. This executive order is pretty much pushing for the opposite, and creating an environment where it is easier to use cryptocurrencies closer to their full potential.

But, let's entertain the scenario you presented, it wouldn't be different it would just be catering to the $2 trillion already within that ecosystem, and if you were paid in crypto you would just be able to use that natively to buy stuff without worrying about getting that onto a debit card or bank account you use your debit card with. It wouldn't be for curious or skeptical people that have been on the sideline for over a decade, whose only potential of participating is signing up to an exchange and purchasing crypto for no reason.

Even if most people don't have the technical chops spy on traffic themselves, I can imagine a world where there are companies that provide such things as products / services. (Probably there are already a few companies like this, I haven't checked.) For example one might be able buy a gizmo with an antenna that listens in on people's wifi and mobile connections. If end to end encryption was banned, I'm guessing that spying on that non-encrypted traffic would take about $50 and an afternoon of setup, and would not require any special skills.

Does that matter? So national socialist groups are okay in times of war? Associating with Neonazi groups is suddenly fine when they are fighting on the side you cheer for?

Fuck the russian government and their war of aggression, unequivocally. Ive lost a distant friend in syria during The russian government's intervention there, and some of my current refugee friends lost their homes to their bombs. So yes I have no love for putins regime.

But can we please stop making excuses for literal nazis ? It's so weird to basically normalize or even encourage such groups because you don't want to agree with anything russia says. Those groups have been growing for the past 2 weeks because of that completely passive attitude where no one wants to be criticizing "our team". They can openly wear insignia designed by Himmler in front of cameras and still be praised by NATO. I think we should realize that this is not a marvel movie with a clear good vs bad plot. So there's nothing wrong with admitting there is a huge far right problem and still be against the invasion. The "good side" can be criticized without support the "evil side"

For the past few years I've been hearing that we can focus on more than a single issue at the time, so why not do that? Because wow this completely insane 180° on far right groups in a mere 2 weeks really really make the craze around anti fascism and nazism accusations in the past 5 years look like complete poltical theater. At this point I won't even be surprised if we start justifying actual war crimes if the Good side does it.
It seems pretty clear at this point that subscription pricing just works better for software. If you go through the old model, sales/customer acquisition never ends. You constantly have to convince previous customers to repurchase. While if you go down the subscription path, you acquire the customer once and then simply have to continue to provide value to keep them.

I think in the end the user probably gets a better deal as well since the software ends up being much better and they always have the latest features.

When you are a power user the value is undeniable. Things like Github/Gitlab, Office, Photoshop, etc provide way more value than their subscription cost. Where I think its at its worst is for things you hardly use. I don't want to pay a subscription fee for an app I use once a month.
Wow, I wish there was a Devuan version!
My diet is roughly 40% protein, 35% fat, 25% carbs. It’s extremely high in protein as I’m on a 20% calorie deficit, aiming for at least 1.2g protein per lb lean body weight, 35% fat preferring it to carbs and making up the remaining calories with carbs. I prefer fat over carbs as my body hangs on to carbs and doing a metabolic test was told I would be better with higher fat to carb ratio based on my stats and goal of getting leaner while maintaining muscle.

I’ve been planning meals using linear programming with the Simplex algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex_algorithm) to calculate the optimal ingredients/quantities to hit my macro goals while minimising total calories.

From playing about it’s impossible for me to hit my macro goals using a pure vegan/vegetarian whole food diet. To hit my protein goals my carb ratio would need to go way up and I’d then need to lower the fat percentage and even then I’d likely be in a caloric surplus. I could lower the protein proportion to try and hit the total calorie goal but then I’d likely be in a catabolic state and loose muscle mass.

I really wanted to eat less meat just for the fact meat costs more and as a plus eating less lowers my environmental impact. When plugging in the numbers with simplex it becomes very apparent it’s extremely hard to get the nutritional bang for your buck you get from meat. For the average person not interested in strength training or body fat percentage it’s probably not as big a deal but the fact remains it’s extremely hard to get specific macro targets without meat.

> just recently have been spinning up some linux containers (redis, rabbitmq)

Not sure if you're trying to make your own containers or not, but stick to the stock Docker Hub containers as much as possible. If there's an "official" Redis container, use that, regardless of the base image. Since it's supported, other people will be fixing bugs and upgrading things so you don't have to.

> If someone is isn't distro aficionado and is utilizing "mainstream" docker images, what's the recommendation?

For non-container stuff, CentOS is the "enterprisey" distro that's safest in case you one day have to support an app that only supports RHEL (and it's the base for Amazon Linux, in case you use AWS).

For container stuff, it's a toss-up between Ubuntu and Debian; I'd use Ubuntu for developer-oriented stuff, and Debian for anything else. You can of course use Alpine for containers, but there are some maintenance/development costs that come as well, so I only recommend Alpine if you really need to save space.
Great, just what we need, a 21 million dollar fund for new middle management and bureaucracy that will “catalyse community-driven development”

This is fucking stupid. Should have just split the money and give chunks to the Apache, *BSD, Linux, Python Software, and Rust foundations depending on just what sort of development work they wanted to foster.

This is the software funding equivalent of those charities where only 10% of the donation money ends up actually doing the job it was donated for. Be it sick kids or starving kids or digging wells, this kind of wasteful abstraction is rife in the charity/donation world and it’s a damn shame to see it starting to happen in the world of software funding.

Are you saying Trump could have won in 2020? I think the pandemic killed his presidency... it's like 1932 when Herbert Hoover got voted out because of the Great Depression, regardless of whose fault it was.

It was that, and mail-in balloting and dropboxes, which the Democrats used to great advantage, blindsiding the Republicans in all the swing districts.

It seems to me the Democrats snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in 2020. However in 2022... mathematically, they're almost guaranteed to cede the House and maybe the Senate as well, depending on how events in Europe and general economic trends play out.

Hm, in my perspection he consolidated his power with the oligarchy.

It continues to be a mess to this day. Most aerospace manufacturers that used CATIA V4 are still making completed aircraft or parts and components that were designed in the 90's with that software.

At the OEM I work at, we have one guy that easily spends 80% of his time dealing with legacy V4 models that need to be brought up to CATIA V5. Whenever we get obscure spare parts requests, he has to go exorcise the models out of the V4 mainframe that we still run, massaging them until we can get geometry that's good enough to use for manufacturing purposes.

I will never forgive Dassault for the lack of compatibility between V4 and V5.
