True. There were the "passive" icons the article means in Program Manager, but there were also the "active" icons you mean on the Windows desktop itself.

They may be easy to overlook however, because the desktop was much less frequented before Windows 95, however. With the File Explorer and Program Manager being separate applications, there just wasn't much to do on the Desktop.
I didn't take it that way, I just thought when they were describing WF they didn't mince words, which I appreciate. I didn't see any implication that others are better. In some way, saying they all do it would dilute the criticism more.

If there was NixBSD I'd seriously consider it.
I'm sorry that you've had this experience, I personally have historically had varied experiences. With that said, I'd like to offer the following points which I would kindly ask you to consider:

1. Was it merely belief in God that gave you these troubles or was it a particular religious expression? I worry, without knowing specifics but having heard similar things from both friends and strangers alike, that you are transposing a personal specific experience with an entire broad category (belief in God encompasses not only numerous specific religions but also philosophical theism, deism, etc). I say all of this because I don't see a logical, natural jump between belief in God, or even belief in common religious groups in the west, with the experiences you've experienced.

2. I am certain that certain religious expressions can be destructive, but that's not been my experience generally. Would you consider qualifying your statement in some way to reflect this? When I hear that "religion is destructive" it is so foreign to my own general personal experience, as well as when I've looked at it more broadly, that it's hard to accept. I've known people who's belief in God is something that gives them great joy, I know others who have had difficulties with various concerns (sometimes emotional or practical or philosophical), and others like myself who while believing in God don't get much positive OR negative emotional response.

I know I threw out a decent bit, and regrettably it's late so I haven't done any proof reading, so if there is anything you'd like to focus on in particular to narrow things down I'd encourage you to do so (or ask for clarifications if I wasn't clear).

> I don't know enough C++ or Rust to judge but is it possible that they are optimized around Rust that isn't C++ style? I know I have seen articles about other languages where some very minor changes make a huge difference because the optimizations in place didn't understand what was happening and had to work harder.

Are you talking about run-time optimizations? My article is focused on build times. I don't think what you mentioned applies to build times. I could be wrong, though. (There are certainly compile time traps you can fall into, but I wouldn't know what those are in Rust.)

> And did you try any of the optimization strategies again at 24x? I would be curious if there are differences there.

No, I did not. That's a good suggestion. But I was pretty tired of this project by the time I made the scaling benchmarks. xD
I ran NetBSD on a previously Win95 laptop in '06.

One fond memory was when some hardware failure occurred, the screen filled with ASCII smiley faces of random colors.

It was also my first BSD. I then ran FreeBSD on a desktop for a while around that time.
so, as i said, possibly write a specialised container to do that. but you are still going to need to read the million clowns, so maybe (i haven't investigated this) the best approach is to read the clowns, which you have to do anyway, and then see if they can be inserted into an array of the currently highest funniest (though i would never see clowns as being funny). i don't remember saying anything about sorting to solve this specific problem, only in the general case - perhaps i did not make this clear.
In what way does the regulatory regime force them to defraud customers?
Those 70k wouldn't all be on the same channel. Even at a small company you might want to have distinct channels with different purposes - maybe #sales, #sw-engineering, #announcements. A 70k-person company might have a few large channels but most of the activity would take place in much more focused channels, of which there would be thousands or tens of thousands. A software team of a dozen people might have their own channel, for example. (Actually, in my experience we had several for distinct purposes.)

(and of course yes, there can also be big general-purpose channels with a lower signal-to-noise ratio)

> Now that we have the unambiguous Cerutti Mastodon site from 130kya, it might need to be re-evaluated.

I don't think you can describe that as "unambiguous"; there is plenty of criticism.

The other site you're referring to is the Calico site, which was excavated by Louis Leakey, Richard Leaky's father. It wasn't just that there were "too many" of them, it was also that the presence could be explained by natural phenomenon. Does this prove it wasn't human-made? No. But given everything else we know, it's unlikely.

> Generally the null hypothesis is that people went anywhere they could go whenever they could, no matter how inconvenient that is for anybody's chronology narrative.

That's not really how that works. The first evidence of modern humans is in Africa about 300,000 years ago. The first evidence of humans anywhere outside of Africa is about 200,000 years ago, in the middle-east. East-Asia about 80,000 years ago; Australia: 65,000 years ago.

130,000 or 200,000 years ago just doesn't fit in with ... anything.

Perhaps pre-modern humans arrived in the Americas much earlier; but AFAIK there is no evidence of that either, or considered very plausible.

Here's a computable transcendental number for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liouville_number#The_existence...)
That the social construct of race shouldn't contribute significantly to a person's identity is irrelevant. Vast troves of empirical evidence show how dramatically being born on one side or another of a racial boundary in the United States changes your life experience. See the study I cited in another comment "Are Greg and Emily more employable than Jamal and Lakisha." researchers sent 5000 job applications to jobs pairing a handful of fake, equally weighted resumes with stereotypically white or black sounding names. White sounding names got FIFTY PERCENT more callbacks... This is the United States where no job among already disadvantaged prime likely means no home, no food, no health care, no nothing. This isn't an affect people adopt as part of some fanciful cultural identity. Disrupting it isn't about pride or hurt feelings. It is a bin that our society forces people into and it will not go away by pretending it doesn't exist. Talking about it or not taking about it is the wrong dichotomy. It's directly addressing it VS not addressing it.

I didn’t have any issues like that with my Wells Fargo checking account either. But apparently they happened, so one person’s experience is not exactly useful here.
In theory maybe, but I'm not sure this is right. The further out you go the more worthless expectations on returns become. Who actually has high confidence in a price model projecting 100 years out? What organization has the conviction to execute on this 100 year plan instead of signals with real correlation for returns over 1, 5, 10, 20 years?

This power-law distribution happens everywhere, all the time. Most people get exceedingly uncomfortable when they encounter people doing things in a different way, using different tools.

Anytime you deviate from the main-stream there are upsides and downsides.

Equally, every product or position is a blend of compromises. Understanding the compromises is key to making informed decisions.

People who typically follow the herd (ie those in the main stream) can be insecure about their choice - and may need to self-convince by adopting an antagonistic attitude with "others".

Maybe you have a different diet, or a different religion, or a different political viewpoint.

Or maybe you use the wrong OS, or program in some minor language, or work for a small (old) business, or drive an old car, or live in a small town or.....

I bet it's more that there's fixed, dedicated hardware for PS/2 that's dead simple to use (or traps into System Management Mode or some such that emulate the hardware for those I/O ports in the case "legacy USB").

I doubt they've kept env around to make BIOS calls at runtime. You have to run those in 16-bit real mode, so it's a massive pain to use outside the initial bootloader in a modern kernel env.

I will speculate there is a completely different mechanism for inequality than taxation policies. Let’s call it crony capitalism and specifically originating within the financial system. Federal reserve policies and bailouts and socialized losses with privatized gains are what cause inequities, imho.

I can give a few specific examples that might help.

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

https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/programs-archive/large-sc...

Central banks engage in civilization level money laundering and cause the inequality increases. These programs are crony capitalism that is specifically directed to an established globalist western oligarchy. That’s not capitalism even remotely, it’s global oligarchy.

$80B/month was regular dispensed in exchange for collateral which was worth significantly less. That’s 80 modern skyscrapers per month.

It will be interesting if censorship can be successfully reigned in and someone more articulate and with public credibility can attempt to explain the outright theft mechanism that was and continues to be obfuscate by jargon and games and corruption.

Maybe I'm missing something, I just don't feel like globally recognized URNs have much value. I am using them in my software which supports external plugins, and this seems like a great use: I and plugin authors get to define the namespaces, which are useful in the context of my application and not beyond. Similarly, AWS makes extensive use of URNs, which are useful in the context of AWS but not beyond. This seems like a good system.

What utility does URN have in your application? Why do you need your URNs to be globally recognizable?
I don't think the author of the comment is conflating those two terms, just comparing them. Booting a VM can be done to host a website and using GitHub Pafes can be done to do the same. Therefore they are two solutions to the same problem and can be compared.

My personal favorite was a building I worked in that had a panel somewhat like this:

The directory had no real hint about this, and for whatever reason the floors I knew about were arranged such that the "R" was the "public side" (my pet theory was it had a better view out the windows), so invariably you'd see someone get off, be very confused where the reception desk was until someone could walk them around to the other side.

Have Central Bank Interventions Repriced Corporate Credit? Part 2
Monk was the Diogenes of music.

Just listen to his solos on "It Don't Mean a Thing," one of his recordings mentioned in the article (I hadn't heard it before):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pU-5pEpfmE

In this Ellington tune, the second half of the first phrase is a bunch of repeated b-flats. And you hear that same segment repeated three times before the tune is done. That's a lot of repeated b-flats.

Like any jazz player, Monk plays that tune at the beginning. Then it's the part of jazz where he's supposed to solo-- that is, show his prowess at improvising and creating new melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. To do so, he... just keeps hammering those fucking b-flats! I mean there are other little flourishes and ideas in there, but he always comes back to those incessant b-flats.

To top it all off, he gives both a four-bar intro and four-bar outro with... guess what? Yep, the b-flats. And he drags over them every time, giving each one plenty of time and volume. There may be other artists from the time who played slower than Monk, but Monk feels slower than any other jazz artist I know.

I think a lot of the praise his contemporaries heaped on him was revisionist. We know Miles Davis initially found his comping distracting. I'd bet there were a lot more who thought he was essentially "doing jazz wrong," but they couldn't easily dismiss him because he could obviously swing. Just listen to his surprise acceleration 19 seconds in to "Don't Mean a Thing" above. He doesn't even retain the "correct" number of measures for that part. Who else was doing stuff like that at the time? Art Tatum is the only one who comes to mind, and he was usually playing solo piano.

Edit: Oops, that's actually the record skipping! Hehe. But I also noticed that after a few choruses the repeated b-flats start to infect the other part of the phrase and take it over, so there's that. (And regardless, Art Tatum did actually do jump cuts like this in his own playing. There's even a recording of him playing a Chopin waltz where he takes that technique to an extreme.)

It's as if Monk was "wrong warping" through jazz. The only comparable thing I can think of was Debussy internalizing Wagner's mature operas and then writing What-Would-Wagner-Not-Do tone poems and character pieces. And unlike, say, a Brahms or a Coltrane-- whose styles typically featured long chains of continual development that left us with clear proof of their compositional work-- Debussy and Monk have a lot of output where there's often nearly nothing there.

It's very difficult to write like that without either falling into incoherence, or convincing your contemporaries that there's something wrong with you.

But then it's dangerous to try to point out exactly what Monk was doing wrong-- after all, one could end up accidentally revealing one's own confirmation biases and assumptions that hamper one's own creativity. Hence, the Diogenes comparison.

All of those alternatives are notorious for having a release schedule slower than molasses, or for having outdated tech, or for having a lot of bugs. That's the price you pay, nothing is for free in this world. You mentioned they had more functionality in some ways but you neglected to mention why that is. Also it's funny that you think GNOME has any spare time or financial resources. Every GNOME developer I've ever talked to has been overloaded with low-paying or non-paying work, same as any open source developer.

The rest of your comment is dangerously close to toxic entitlement. You don't get to say you have no patience. Or rather, you can say it, but it's completely meaningless for you to do so unless you were trying to antagonize some volunteers. Avoid that line of thinking. These are all volunteers who can spend their time as they want.
