That would be overreach and hopefully the Supreme Court would strike it down. The precedent from this ruling actually protects you from that sort of thing, without it the Republicans would be more capable of pushing the states to do whatever they want.

I'm totally shocked at the degree to which people are upset by this since it helps both sides. The only explanation I have is that no one really understands what's going on and they're just "fighting for their tribe."

EDIT: I'm out of quota, here's my reply: This isn't politicization, they're literally interpreting the constitution. Anything other than this would be politicization that would allow populist mobs to run over the states. They're not banning anything, they're giving the power back to you where it belongs.
I agree, but I'm not saying anyone should only have friends where they work, but rather that you can have both.

I don't live in the US, and almost all of my friends I meet on my free time are not through work, but I do have colleagues who I consider friends and it makes work a lot more enjoyable. That being said, there's only very few of them who I would be likely to keep in touch with if they or I quit.

Debian moved to dash as the default shell a few years ago, nushell gets some users, fish has moved from niche to one of the big players, and yes, some people also use powershell on Linux.

You could argue it's just a changing of the guard as things like csh or ksh die off on Linux and get fish/pwsh take their place as the second tier shells in popularity, but it did feel like many years we were in a bash monoculture with zsh only surviving by being sufficiently compatible.

I was NEVER prompted for a phone number or given a warning that I will not be able to access my account if I didnt have one. (Maybe because i already had one on the account and removed it?. Not sure). However, off and on , google would prompt me for my recovery email and I had no problem accessing my account using that.

It may not be popular on the internet, but it’s true for many. Context switching into an office where people around you are focusing sets the tone for work.

Conversely, switching into an office where everybody is chatting away will hurt focus for the same reasons.

This is why it’s important to have good working context whether you’re in the office or at home.

That is an unfair portrayal. Parents are not psychologists, not nurses or doctors, and have limits. We can give our absolute most to care for our children and still need more help.
In Sweden any financial aid to students are revoked if you dont get a grade. If you apply a second time, after failing classes you simply dont get aid until your grades improve. Aid is only paid out a month at a time.
Also, you have to apply using digital-ID (BankID) for both classes and aid, theres no way to cheat. This way, fraud is unheard of.
Educational aid, if paid out erroneously is collected more aggressively than taxes.

There is not other outcome to any of this but catastrophe one way or another. You can live high in the hog for some time, living off what others have created and built up over years and generations, e.g., grandmas savings, but that will invariably run out one way or another. Maybe you will be able to roll the consequences of that mentality on others or your children, but the bill will come due one day, and that day could be coming soon or not, but it is coming with ever greater certainty that there has been no correction in a long while.
As far as I know, this will have to be a manual process of enumerating all your accounts, and changing the password for each one using their own reset password mechanism.

Not for all accounts. After several years, they started strongly recommending an SMS verification, then finally locked my account when I couldn't provide them one. [I have SMS turned off by my cellular provider] Every year or so I'll see if I can get back in. Sometimes I'm presented with a non-SMS option, but once I work through that, they go right back to insisting on SMS.

I only used that account for communicating with one friend, [our mail hosts were blocking each other in some kind of spam war tit-for-tat] now deceased, so it was no great loss to lose the account, but rather annoying that they pretend harvesting phone numbers is some type of "authentication."
I think the main reason they did this is to remove their dependence on a piece of closed source software made by an American company. Could you expand on what you mean by “They want to take away the linux/open source community”?

I’ve thought of standing up my own private mastodon, but asking these people get mastodon accounts for this single use case isn’t really what any of them want. We’re all social media averse, and mastodon is still like a twitter. hallo is private/closed by default and allows for signals and comments.
I meant it free of judgement, which I guess is hard to do with a word like "cowardice." I'm sure I wouldn't say anything either if I were in his shoes.

Edit: and I guess my larger point, is the two acts have nothing to do with each other, other than coloring your opinion of Snowden which is ultimately irrelevant.

Beyond your own children, lawmakers should care about making policy that benefits the future of society. Perhaps too altruistic for some.

But now that inflation is here and consumer sentiment is close to all time lows, the jig is up.
> But that has an established meaning, namely 1900-1909.

I'm not going to claim to know the history of how terminology develops. But I don't think I have ever come across someone using "XX00s" to refer solely to the first 10 years of that time period.

The general rule of thumb for reading numbers is to treat every trailing 0 as a marker of an insignificant figure, so a number like "1,000,000" is presumed to have 1 significant figure and not 6. By this rule, the most natural interpretation of 1900s is that it encompasses 1900-1999.
Your in laws might be better served with Mexican permanent residency. The economic solvency requirements are reasonable (about $120k in a savings/investment/retirement account seasoned for a year), and once approved by a Mexican consulate in the US, the process moves very fast once you get to Mexico. There is no upkeep cost, you have it for life once obtained. The only downside is that if you bring a vehicle to Mexico from the US, even temporarily, you’re paying duty on the vehicle’s value.
Love Blocks – Code Editor for LÖVE
Why would it be a bit much?

Banks can’t give out fake loans. They try to all the time and are rightfully regulated/fined/charged when they do.

Banks giving out bad loans caused the 2008 collapse. Student loans will one day cause a similar problem but it won’t be big banks going bankrupt, it will be us. Hearing that 20% are obvious fraud doesn’t even surprise anyone. Imagine a bank saying 20% of their loans are fraud but it’s “not their job” to check that loans are given to anonymous recipients who don’t bother to provide even a fake name!

It’s a crime. Like the banks, the people at the top are aware but profit off doing nothing. That they work for the taxpayers just makes it that much more criminal, not less!
Let's ignore the elephant in the room that there are much better platforms to do something like this on...

Obviously, where else would you find such pettiness?

Relying upon a machine that is so complex and frustrating to use far outweighs the tiny loss of revenue for when people pass on unused parking time to someone else.

EU was a great decision. Do you mind sharing which country you picked, and how the transition was for your family?

One option we are considering is starting our family in the US and moving to the EU slightly later in life, but before the kids would start school. Adoption and surrogacy are generally harder or take longer in the EU, although the processes are substantially the same for same sex and opposite sex married couples, at least in western Europe.

Not yet, that is the point. The first GOP people are openly thinking about nationwide abortion bans [1], banning condoms [2] or questioning if couples should be allowed to use birth control [3].

The problem is, a lot of freedoms the US people take for granted are not backed by a constitutional amendment but by court decisions or executive orders and so they can be revoked pretty easily.

>you’ve kicked an ancient island people out of their capitol city

You need to brush up on your history my friend. The number of times the island has changed hands runs counter to your point, and the current inhabitants certainly aren’t some continuation of an ancient people.

Rome held it, the Britons held it, the Picts invaded from Ireland, the Angles and Saxons had it after beating the Picts and killing the Britons…the list goes on. There isn’t some sacred ancient culture at stake and I’m sure the groups that were kicked out by the current inhabitants would take umbrage with your point if they could speak up.

I’m not even going to dive into “London is a miserable failure.” That’s just another hand wavy talking point. I’m not even sure by what metrics you’d measure how London is a “miserable failure.”
Whenever someone says "innovation", I hear "change for change's sake". There has to be a reason why they don't call it "improvement", "adaptation", or anything else with actual meaning.

I've experienced the opposite; I had to abandon one paid mail host because they turned their spam filtering up to "Thunderstruck!" I was getting about every third message on mailing lists, and other mail seemed to be about 50/50. They had drunk the Kool-Aid from whoever sold them the software, and claimed they couldn't whitelist or turn it off per-account, and I should be grateful that half of my legitimate mail was going into the bit bucket.
Hey all, a tiny project I wrote for myself over the last couple of months.

I've been ripping my old physical audio and video media to a server running locally at home and have been worried about bitrot. I built this tool to check a large media library for correctness (by test-decoding it with FFMPEG), and to prevent future bitrot by automatically adding per-directory PAR2 files.

The tool has another feature to transcode your entire library to a given format - I'm using this to keep a USB key in my car filled with AAC 64k files for listening when Spotify is out of range or I'm too lazy to connect via Bluetooth.

It's designed to be somewhat easy to extend with media operations that consume a directory at a time. For example, you could add or check music metadata using a third-party service like MusicBrainz.
Does not make sense for holders of US passports. Population is still growing quickly.
We export raw crude oil, but don’t refine it into various byproducts (including aviation fuel) in significant amounts. This is a perfect example of the government incompetence I’m talking about.

We had a few major refineries in the past, but they were mismanaged out of existence.

In summary, we export crude, and the buyers refine it and send it back to us as imports (with markups of course).
That was my first thought when I read your comment. That "number" referred to the license plate.

(In my language, license plates are called number plates.)
Don't blame the kids for their blind conformity. That is dictated at them from above. Kids today live in fear of being singled out in an negative manner. It can destroy your future. Mistakes are now permanent. A viral video of you doing something stupid as a teenager might come up in job applications decades later. Getting caught drinking alcohol in the park on a Friday night might mean jail/expulsion from school. And don't get me started on grade inflation. Study the wrong material, bomb a test, and you can say goodbye to that 97% average needed for university applications. So every kid is desperate to make sure they are studying exactly the same material as everyone else. That is the only safe way to make sure you don't waste time on a tangent. Kids today do and should fear breaking social norms. They live in a very rigid society.
I've taken a paycut in the UK with the aim of getting a second passport. I'm not sure the UK will fare well in a scenario where the US goes full tilt bozo, but being an island surrounded by shitty weather has proven advantageous historically.

Like others said, many countries make it very difficult or borderline impossible to go back during the pandemic. Funnily enough, being treated like that makes me want to immigrate/gain a second citizenship more than ever. It's tough to feel like a citizen of one's country when the basic thing of being able to go back is so damn tough.
A great comment about conflicts between parts of a system fighting for resources (parallelism, memory, caches) is hidden at the end of the article:

"@Ilya: You assume that the desired result is to have a 9 month process. What if the desired result is to have a newborn available for filming a commercial for baby food?

A good real-life example, based on a true story: You want data to be sorted. You may start out with a standard sort algorithm. Suddenly you find, that it is slow. You find out, that you can increase the speed 5 times by replacing quicksort with mergesort. Then, you find out, that you can increase the speed 10 times more by using an implementation, that knows how to use the CPU cache well. Then, you realize, that Mergesort can use more CPUs, so you use more CPUs. Suddenly, your application is 100 times slower, because the writes to memory from one CPU is flushing the cache from the other CPU. This didn't happen on your development system, because the dual-CPU system was made in a different way... so you realize that you need to make the parallel programming differently.

Finally, you find that you need to separate the lists, that you merge in your mergesort algorithm, better. After a while, your algorithm works well on your development system and on the target system.

Finally satisfied, you put the parallel mergesort algorithm into all places where it makes sense. After a short while, the test department comes back, and reports that the application runs slower when your multithreaded sort algorithm is used. The reason is, that it now uses 2 CPU caches, leaving less cache memory for other parts of the application, slowing down these parts more, than the speed benefit of using 2 CPUs for sorting.

You are finally asked to remove the parallel processing from your mergesort in order to increase the speed of the system.
