I often wonder what would have happened if Sun hadn't been bought by Oracle and innovation had continued. They were very far ahead. They invented things like containers in Solaris way before Kubernetes and Docker popularised them on Linux.

Practically most container images literally are their own distro install. In the case of flatpak, this becomes obvious when looking at flathub and the provided "runtimes". At that point they just reinvented packages.

This is a valid concern but it comes with the caveat that you have to measure actual user-base. For example, in this case that’s the stragglers using IE11 years after it being out of support. That might not be something you care about at all if you don’t support that for other reasons such as security, and if there’s a functional polyfill you might use that so the cost is shifted to the people who don’t upgrade.

Above all, I’d check your own site data: Can I Use has to use public, global data for obvious reasons but you can see fairly different numbers based on what type of site you’re running.
We see this all the time when arguing with a side that doesn't care about the truth. Completely arbitrary, but I might say 10, and later find out 9. The other sides takes minor corrections/adjustments as fuel to say no, it must be 0 because the side saying 10 lied to you.

If everyone was really looking for the truth, this wouldn't be an issue because this is how science works. But, often one side is only pushing an agenda where the truth is irrelevant.

> The prowling may be foiled due to wrong footing, which may wake up the whole family. They intruder may get chased away with hot water splashed on him, or be thrown out of the window. Strict parents chase the intruder or threaten him with marriage or a stick while liberal ones pretend to be asleep even if they know the prowler is around. This is more likely if they know the prowler is a suitor they would like to have for their daughter. It is not difficult to guess who the prowler might be in small close-knit villages.

Why do so many stories of psychotherapistic fuckery come out of Canada? There's your story here, there's the tragic story of David Reimer, there's the Montreal Experimemts by Donald Ewen Cameron... It's like something has been ideologically and institutionally wrong for a long time. It's like there's no human dignity or sovereignty, but instead people are just objects or problems to be managed. Some horrible Skinnerian-Taylorist worldview.

It might just be a metaphor, but would you treat people this way if you thought they had actual souls?

As a former pyromaniac I can assure you that a party balloon filled with hydrogen (or a "Hindenburg Bomb" as we called them) is a pretty underwhelming thing. It goes up in a whoosh, not a bang , not a billowing ball of flame, and the screw-around factor just isn't there. Like, what to you do with it besides let it go whoosh?

The only thing that's dangerous about them is how boring they are. You'll be graduating to more interesting forms of pyromancy (like trying to make a flame thrower out of a punching balloon) in no time.
> Wikipedia is vulnerable to coordinated, tendentious editing

Wikipedia is not a primary source. Wikipedia quotes primary sources. If you insist in pushing a belief that's not supported by primary sources then you are the problem, not wikipedia.

To me this article reads like someone trying to push unfounded propaganda I'm wikipedia to whitewash conspiracy theories with a veneer of authoritative source, but was stopped by their inability to present primary sources that supports his personal claim.

Once that character lost an edit war, he resorted to attack wikipedia with yet another conspiracy theory.

It's telling that the article has been framed with a conspiracy behind wikipedia while leaving the supposed sources as unquestionable.
But is that accidentally rediscovering things, or is it intentional and simply still has a long way to go?
> Why must an apartheid state have so much power?

Lets be serious here: I figured the Jews would have learned that holocausts are bad... Except they run their own holocaust against Palestine.

Seems like collectively they didn't learn much at all from the last time atrocities were done against them.

But any valid complaints against them will result in claims of "antisemitism". That's par for the course when they can't defend their own atrocities - they'll just call you racists.
It hasn't to do with you, it is the limit of the medium. You can't prove a soul or anything spiritual through text. Or at least I can't. I don't think you're deluded.

But, I will argue that there is physical evidence for the soul and for the spiritual beyond our everyday comprehension. That physical evidence is psychedelics. If you take psychedelics once with a person who is dear to you, I'm certain you will come out on the other side much assured they have a soul, that there is much more to people than what you see in everyday life.

Because that exe is a gigabyte in size, needs a special globally installed runtime for some reason and conflicts with my firewall rules. Even AppImages somehow manage to extract themselves to locations that conflict with other tools or earlier versions of the same tool.

I have one server with a complex firewall configuration that simply won't work well when I install Docker on it. I end up finding a lot of alternatives for what would otherwise be obvious solutions because projects stopped shipping binaries and replaced them with Docker containers.

I'll gladly make use of the compilation approach thanks to software available in the AUR. The whole "let's ship a copy of Debian to make my 400kB binary run" approach is as tiresome as "let's ship a copy of Chromium so I don't need to learnddesktop UI".

I know how terrible the dependency management situation on Linux is (I myself have had to resort to building software in chroots because of glibc being outdated) but the "modern" approach seems to add more trouble than it solves when I try to run programs like this.

On many distros these problems have luckily already been solved. On Ubuntu that means I'll often be using an outdated version of the program that works just as well and on Arch (based distros) that means waiting for a compile every other update, but I've given up on tools that come with an entire ecosystem.
Yeah, the more of these too extreme clinics we have, the more it hurts the overall case for the genuine trans person who has been on hormones for years medically transitioning.
That isn't the experience with flatpak though, flatpak is the same as using apt-get or any other package manager except instead of getting stuff from your distro's repositories you get them from some flatpak repository you have to configure (some distros that provide flatpak might have flathub preconfigured, though not all of them do that).

AppImage does provide that "download an exe and double click" experience but it assumes you have made said portable Linux binaries (and they still have the drawback of dragging in a bunch of libraries you most likely already have in your distro).
I get the issue but I do strongly feel that you should expect http resources to be cached. It's so common of a thing expecting it to never be cached is unreasonable as a design.

Section 5, paragraph (c):

c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.

See also, paragraph (b):

b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
Israel was founded after the Holocaust, and has nothing to do with either the deaths in the Holocaust or the article under discussion. Conflating Jews with a state that doesn't necessarily represent them doesn't signal honest behavior on your part about your beliefs.

Well, there is the backlight, but also the power usage of the TCON (timing controller board) for each display that will vary greatly. Usually the 4K ones end up being less efficient. If you get the 4K display, you can of course set the output to 1080p which would solve the "processing power" end. I think the difference between 1080p and 1440p (or their 16:10 equivalents) at 60Hz would be negligible from a GPU perspective (especially if PSR is set on), but ultimately you'd have to test the two different models with different resolution settings to really be able to tell.
>The number is not wrong. It's an estimate. Any reasonably intelligent person easily understands that the Nazis did not operated a counter which stopped the genocide when I hit 6000000. It means nothing if you say "up to 7" or "up to 6".

This seems like a strawman. The dispute in question isn't over whether 6000000 died or 6000001. It's over "4-5 million" or "6 million".

>What makes a huge difference is the relentless effort to leverage this sort of revisionism to argue that nitpicking over estimates means the Holocaust did not happened at all.

Suppose we had incontrovertible evidence that it was actually 4 mililon. Would you suggest that we all pretend that the number was still 6 million, because revising the official number down would give ammo to Holocaust deniers?
I think it's really interesting and not weird at all. Wikipedia has change records which are an absolutely brilliant way of seeing how small edits can change the meaning and intent of a document.

The particular topic is not surprising either because it is very important to modern politics.

The whole concept of an editor war is a fascinating topic in itself.
Oh yeah I’ve seen stuff like that, but I just figure it will collapse under its own weight and die. Of course not without wasting tens of thousands of developer hours. But not my developer hours.

It’s crazy isn’t it? People inventing a DSL to describe tests which you could just see by reading the friggin’ source code. It’s like ORMs for tests. Let’s create an abstraction (test DSL) over another abstraction (a friggin’ programming language) so now we have to understand two languages.

So of course the solution is to write tests for the tests. Which will require coverage analysis. To make sure the devs take it seriously, I f the tests on the tests don’t get 100% test coverage of the tests then the dice rolling app won’t build.

Because you can never be too sure.

> They are cleaning your teeth. This means that they need to have understanding of hygiene and sterilization. There are regularly incidents where someone in a dentists office sterilizes something wrong and some disease gets transmitted.

And there always will be, regardless of how many years of college the staff has.

> Do NOT assume that nurses, hygienists, etc. understand things even as basic as germ theory and its implications. Do NOT assume that laypeople understand just how bad industrial chemicals can be. etc.

If nurses don't understand these things and they have had many years of training, that seems to argue that additional training does not improve outcomes. And for the record, I'm not saying I want Joe Blow to be hired yesterday and start cleaning teeth today. A trade training program is of course necessary to acquire the skills and learn the procedures to perform <skilled job>. But I don't think it's necessary to have college-level germ theory background to understand how to sterilize equipment and why it's important.

> A 2 year degree barely teaches enough for people to be functional in jobs that can affect someone else's health.

I won't disagree there, because I think college is pretty useless these days other than to give you the piece of paper that lets companies easily filter potential employees, with non-college applicants going in the trash.

> The solution to a lack of people for <job> is to PAY MORE MONEY. Why does this seem to be so hard for people to understand?

I agree with you that companies have taken advantage of employees for a very long time and am glad that workers are pushing back on low wages and unreasonable employment situations. But if we keep requiring more credentialing at high expense that people simply cannot afford without crippling loans, you can't fix that with higher wages. The result would be that teeth cleaning would become unaffordable to the average person. Oh wait, I know the solution to that: more insurance! (See: medical care)

I’d rather just grant permissions to a particular user to write to my link-book repo. I think it’s more accurate anyway as it’s link-book writing stuff, not me.
Not necessarily no, but it can do, hence ambiguity is introduced that was not there in the original title.
Display refresh rate isn't necessarily just about one aspect like flicker or smoothness.

For one thing, it affects the latency from human input to graphics output. How the graphics stack is implemented, especially with modern desktop compositors, there's typically at least 3 frames of latency. 3/60 is 50ms. 3/165 is 18ms. Whether or not you consciously notice it, the 165hz display is going to feel more instant when you push a button.

There's also what's referred to as "judder". When you're watching 24Hz video content on a 60Hz display, the frames of video get repeated 3 times, then 2 times, then 3 times etc. This results in a 16ms "judder" from frame to frame. It's subtle, and has been the norm for decades, but it is quantifiably less than ideal. A 165Hz display drops judder down to 6ms.

Another aspect of the refresh rate has to do with the frequency response of the display technology itself, and what many might call "smoothness". Looking back at CRT technology, the image is instantaneous wherever the electron beam is currently pointed. The overall image looks stable due to persistence within the human eye. If you film a CRT, it can look pretty wonky. With a CRT, 30Hz is too slow because pretty much everyone can see the flicker. 60Hz is borderline on a CRT, and I personally can see the flicker in my peripheral vision. Motion looks smooth regardless, though, because all the persistence is in your eyes. With traditional LCDs, the pixels are always on, and they are relatively slow to change; there's persistence in the display itself. So, 30Hz doesn't flicker, and all motion looks blurry no matter what. It just sucks other than being a conveniently flat screen. With modern LCDs and OLED displays, the pixels are still always on, but they are back to being very fast to change. So, 30Hz doesn't flicker, but motion is no longer blurry, but instead of flickering it looks jerky rather than smooth. At 60Hz things look pretty smooth, but you're still at the limit of some folk's peripheral vision.

A GPU doesn't have to render frames at the refresh rate. An old frame will be repeated if there isn't a new frame ready yet. If the GPU can't keep up, a 165Hz display effectively becomes an 82.5Hz display, or a 41.25Hz display. There certainly is going to be a power penalty in the GPU circuitry driving the display at a higher rate, but it's marginal vs. the cost of rendering the frames themselves. 82Hz is still luxury compared to 60Hz, in that it's better than good enough for 99% of people.

What it boils down to is that pushing the refresh rate higher gives the GPU/software more fine grained control over the display than otherwise. That control allows the software to optimize latency, judder, and smoothness better than the display itself can given a lower refresh rate.

Gender dysphoria is easy to shove down if you're in an environment where others around you won't be accepting. It's unsurprising that blue states have a lot more REPORTED trans people.

However, the general internet culture of teenagers misdiagnosing medical disorders means that there is indeed too many of the wrong people receiving gender affirming care.

In regards to the biological male thing, no sane person would say that this is transphobic. Attraction has many factors, it's just being mean about it to trans men that is hurtful, not "not being attracted to them," which is normal imo.
