For what it’s worth I was really just trying to explore the concept and knead it in my mind a bit.

My actual opinion on the matter is that we need a national conversation and some sort of constitutional convention to decide more definitively what the purpose(s) of gun rights should be.

Note that I said “what purpose” rather than “what rights”. I think a lot of people (not everyone, but most) skip this part and go straight to “I want to own select-fire rifles” or “large capacity magazines should be banned” before answering what the allowable purposes of private gun ownership should be.

I think if we enshrine in the constitution the right to own/bear arms for enumerated purposes, that the details will naturally just fall out from that choice.

Some examples of what we could choose from (mix and match to your liking):

1) There is no purpose for private gun ownership of any kind.

2) People should be allowed to own guns for private museums/galleries; historical/scientific/artistic collections.

3) People should be able to own guns for sport target shooting (Olympic shooting, IDPA, etc)

4) People should be able to own guns for hunting.

5) people should be able to own guns to defend their homes.

6) People should be able to own guns to defend themselves when they are out and about.

7) People should be able to own guns to bolster national armory against foreign invasion.

8) People should be able to own guns to attempt to overthrow their own government if they deem it necessary.

For example, if someone picked only something akin to #2, then likely guns would have to have firing pins and/or parts of the trigger mechanism removed.

If the people chose to allow guns for sport, perhaps the government would store your privately owned guns for you at sporting facilities.

If the purpose of private gun ownership is to empower citizens to overthrow a tyrannical government, then no registration process should be warranted for destructive devices like javelins or SAM batteries.

It sounds like your limitations match most closely with #7. In which case it seems like if that was the ONLY purpose for private gun ownership it would be reasonable for the government to store your guns in their own local armories and allow you to pick them up in they declare a national defense event.

If purpose of private gun ownership is to allow me to defend myself when I’m out and about, perhaps I should be allowed to carry a pistol when I’m at the bar. While I’ve never personally been in a situation where I’ve said “You know what would have made that go better? If I had a gun.” … I’ve only gotten in situations close to that when I’ve been out drinking late at night. Not allowing me to defend myself at my workplace, school, or bar kind of defeats most of any personal protection objectives.

If the goal is to only allow home defense, perhaps we only need to allow long guns (rifles, shotguns) and can still ban handguns. Perhaps every casing could be serialized and every transaction recorded and annual inspections done for storage conditions and safety adherence.
I agree but there’s a reason I didn’t say “literally every MMORPG does this.” FFXIV definitely stands out as a notable exception. SE is also big enough that they don’t need FFXIV to generate insane revenue to justify its existence, and good on them for making good use of that. It’s a profitable title that has also built them a lot of good will as a company, good will that’s been sorely needed lately.

My point is, most MMORPGs depend on giving you relatively simple tasks but finding ways to make them take three hours.
Well then you should jump ship and join a larger org with more formal processes. But I think you will see that I was right and that your former colleagues were much stronger than you gave them credit for.

I fully believe it will help minimize most school shootings, but I don’t think it would deter the more meticulous disturbed shooters like Columbine or perhaps even this most recent Texas shooter. If you are planning it out in detail, figuring out how to print a gun or buy one on the black market probably isn’t much of a deterrent.

I would “only” expect gun control regulation to deter impulsive killings (including a lot of suicide). But it won’t deter criminals who are savvy to the black market, and it’s plausible that they might be more emboldened to victimize more people from the “civilian” population (as opposed to police or rival criminals) if they have more assurance that they’re unarmed. That effect is probably exacerbated in an era of de-policing (if criminals can rely on a hamstrung police force and a disarmed civilian population, they’re probably going to be even bolder).
Not empirical because there's no money to fund such studies, but: Mandatory veganism would almost certainly significantly reduce the healthcare (and food) costs for a society by a large fraction. Banning cars would make the air cleaner, remove a bunch of health problems, and facilitate more social forms of travel which would help form a more cohesive society and probably would reduce a lot of problems which arise from modern urban isolation.

I'd personally like to live in a society where people were mostly vegan, there were no cars, and there were no firearms.

Whether or not we should force that is another question, but it sure sounds nice.
So the entire US military, who's training is heavily geared toward shooting people and many of who's members have done exactly that, are all mentally ill?

Don't get me wrong, I think there is a case to be made that they might be, but good luck being a conservative politician who says all veterans are mentally ill.
They are not working on perl 5, neither a perl 7. The biggest excitement might be the design of their new object system. But if you look at it and compare it to the design of their OO designed in 2002 (for their perl 6) it's a serious throwback. not even talking about their inability of a proper implementation.

in the meantime I've implemented that, plus types, plus proper signatures, plus unchecked arrays when safe, plus an integrated ffi plus tons more features.

their is no development, only maintainance. plus lot of internal fights. plus a CoC, which was used to eliminate the only remaining developer, because he dared to critice the stakeholders which blocked progress, and still continue to make the codebase worse.

the less the work, the more the fights.

That only removes the duty to retreat, in states where such a duty is imposed (which is very few). You still have to meet the other criteria for self-defense.

You may not consider it "our problem" but systematic violation of basic rights is a pain for anyone who has empathy with the oppressed and violated. If you don't feel it, my fellow westerner, that is your problem, not ours.

As someone firm in belief in Humanism and Liberalism, i consider it a crime against humanity. It is not an east/west issue and not a religious issue to be of concern only for people of the same religion. China does this because they want the border to be more than a line on the map, to be a border of their socialist nation, a border of thought, culture, language, of national identity. Their central government hates that people in Xinjiang have family in Kazhakstan, Pakistan and Kashmir, that they speak with those people, share traditions and religion and history with them, instead of identifying first and foremost with the nationality of the capital city. For them that is a weakness of their nation, a discrepancy from their ideal, a problem for their central bureaucracy in need of a solution, and the authoritarian-nationalist solution is to destroy the very concept of an Uyghur using violence to the point where it becomes a genocide. This is not a problem of uyghur ethnicity, religion or culture, it is a problem of chinese national-socialism.

And that China subscribes to such an ideology is very much our problem as westerners as well, not only because humanitarianism calls for solidarity with the oppressed, not only because liberalism must oppose such ideologies on principle, but because the world is unifying and the Chinese Government will throw in a billion rigged votes while holding a gun to the head of all those unwilling to agree. Ignoring the chinese governments abuse of the people living inside their borders is like ignoring some rich neighbor beating their kids and shouting they will kill anyone looking funny at them, while they run for major, saying it will all be fine as long as you keep looking away.
So corporate campaign contributions are protected by the first amendment, but deciding who you wish to do business with is not unless it's baking cakes for gay people? I'm so very confused.
It's #3 because of the Quartering Acts; relating to a very specific set of facts during the Revolutionary War. Consider for a moment that if General Gage hadn't persuaded the British Parliament of the need to amend the Mutiny Act to require American towns to provide food and shelter to British troops, then this amendment would never have been passed.

It was passed because of what was top-of-mind for the writers in the 1780s. It's dead letter. There has been one case on it in 200 years.
TFA mentions some figures in paragraph 2

That's not a great approach.

So they switched to Go from Python, because of following advantages:

#7 Strong ecosystem... which brings us to disadvantage #1 - lack of frameworks (?)
Most mass shooters come from single parent households or dysfunctional family homes. U.S families vary and many don't live near other family members where they can get help and American communities are not like other cultures or countries where they are involved in raising children.

So if a child's immediate family has issues, there isn't an alternative for that child to to go to to help or for a positive role model. And there are very few public positive role models.

The U.S. has the highest number of single parent households of any country. It also has some of the higher number of mental illnesses and lower numbers of mental health workers.

U.S. works longer hours, have less vacation and holidays, so children are left to their own devices more. Our food supply is laden with chemicals that are not allowed in other countries thanks to lobbying and the FDA. (I'd be interested to see how that impacts mental and physical health).

Our public schools are full of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. The latter being higher than Catholic churches and not very well reported on by any media.

Couple that with media addiction (old,new, and social) and the phenomenon of media "contagion" where you get mass shootings in clusters due to media coverage and you have a recipe for disaster.

Given the failure of the war on drugs, prohibition and the context above, not sure how gun control or confiscation would work when Americans tend to work around those kind of things. Even without guns, we now have drones so its only a matter of time before someone uses those.

However, all that generally gets talked about is either gun control or more guns e.g. arming teachers rather than the underlying causes. Kids used to bring guns to schools without incidents for decades until the 90s when you started to have many latch key kids coming of age from homes where parents were never around.

Yes, that is surely the case. Likewise, a great reduction in the need for cars and their usage would also be a net positive for society and the environment. However, what I was challenging was the assertion that mandatory veganism or banning cars were comparable to effective gun regulation as policies based on empirical evidence instead of lofty ideals.

Veganism to reduce carbon emissions and animal suffering, a car-less society to improve communities and public health, and the right to bear arms for the security of a free state are all lofty ideals. However, we have no examples or reasons to believe that enforcing the first two by decree is even feasible, nor can we imagine the unpredictable side effects. On the other hand, there are many examples of states where gun ownership is heavily regulated, restricted, or virtually banned which however remain secure and free and with no obvious downside.
About the only thing now is `perl -pie` on the CLI to run some one-liners (especially when you don't want to fight sed).

I don't understand the stock market. VMW at $50B market cap equates to ~$120 per share. The Broadcom acquisition is for ~20% more, and yet, the stock price is at $120, not... $145 or something.

Can someone more financially literate (or with direct experience in the stock market) explain this discrepancy to me?

I think buro9's recommendation is pretty sound. I have some smaller/older/cheaper KEF speakers on my desk, where I don't have the space to put the larger PMC speakers I would normally use. They have a dual-concentric design that is clearly related to that of the LSX and LS50, and (at the risk of "dancing about architecture") I've been very impressed with the clarity and directness of the sound.

On the basis of that experience, I'd certainly have the LSX/LS50 on my shortlist if I was looking for speakers in that size.
Unfortunately.

Similar to Haskell. While with Rust it can be justified by its novelty and status as a meme, Haskell has been here since 1990.

Maybe it's because it's hard to attract talent in that space without offering niche, cool tools that are hard to find elsewhere?

Life is relative. It's not an argument to say "yea but we're better than the Ancient Egyptians!" So what? That isn't meaningful.

Using World War 1 really tells. That was a century ago. No one is even alive from then anymore.

There's never really 0% humidity in the air, I have a cabin near Joshua Tree and it rarely goes below 10% there. It tends to increase substantially at night too, which maybe something like this can harness then retain through the daytime.
I disagree that "letting go and learning to love" is necessarily to be strived for. There are different ways to heal (as best you can).

(I let it all go and have no bitterness. My brother didn't and won't as far as I can tell. I don't see any reason my way is better. It's just what worked for me. Some broken things don't have a good fix, and you just move forward in whatever way you can.)
I think it's helpful to divide complexity into complexity in the business logic / problem you're trying to solve, which cannot be eliminated from a pure technical perspective (you should still try to simplify it through discussions with stakeholders though!), and complexity that isn't necessary to solve the problem.

Oftentimes the latter category could be necessary if you were at much higher scale, or if the business evolved in some way, etc., which is where this sort of stuff tends to originate. Just yesterday we were talking at my company about extracting a service in Go, since it's very high scale, very simple, and doesn't change much. On one hand, it's pretty likely we'll need to do that at some point, but on the other, it's not causing any issues right now, so there's not much point in doing it at the moment. Had we gone forward, that would have added complexity for a theoretical concern that may or may not happen in the future.

> I imagine someone could use docker instead of VMware in most cases, and if that's not possible then hire some people to make it so.

It's been a few years since I've worked with bare metal, but doesn't Docker require a hypervisor for the containers?

You could swap to KVM or Hyper-V, but transitioning an org's hypervisor on bare metal is a massive task any way you cut it.
Wrt #2, there is the additional argument that when selecting compiler optimizations for a -mtune=generic (or equivalent) target, it makes sense to be a bit "forward leaning", as it'll be a while before your work ends up in a released version, and even further time goes by until that compiler release ends up in the hands of users.
That just sounds lazy.

I've been using Ansible for years now to do this.

Right now all my computers run fedora so there's not much difference between them but for some time I used Ansible on macOS too. It worked but was a pain to make my roles compatible for both linux and macOS.

In my experience Ansible is good when dealing with text files or if there's already a module for what you're trying to do (for example managing postgresql users).
If what you're trying to do is complex enough that you need to write a custom module or plugin, it is a pain in the ass: we had to do that at work and it was terrible.

Ansible works on Windows but I have no experience with it.
> write code as simply as possible is tautology

What? That has nothing whatsoever to do with tautology. It's just a statement you agree with. If everyone else agreed with it, it might at most be a truism or an uninteresting statement, but evidently they do not. (They might claim to, but reality shows they optimise for other things - in my experience the simplest work, which does not always mean the simplest code, especially when you're accustomed to the mystic rituals of the Javanese tribes.)
