> Then one dynamically links the core libraries and statically links everything else.

Agreed, and that is already totally possible.

- If you split your project in libraries (there are reasons to do that), then by all means link them statically.

- If you depend on a third party library that is so unstable that nobody maintains a package for it, then the first question should be: do you really want to depend on it? If yes, you have to understand that you are now the maintainer of that library. Link it dynamically or statically, whichever you want, but you are responsible for its updates in any case.

The fashion that goes towards statically linking everything shows, to me, that people generally don't know how to handle dependencies. "It's simpler" to copy-paste the library code in your project, build it as part of it, and call that "statically linking". And then probably never update it, or try to update it and give up after 10min the first time the update fails ("well, the old version works for now, I don't have time for an update").

I am fine with people who know how to do both and choose to statically link. I don't like the arguments coming from those who statically link because they don't know better, but still try to justify themselves.
Last time I had an intractable yet fundamental issue with an ISP and its support I reported them to the FCC[1] and got a response and resolution from the ISP the next day.

> how do I give more virtualized compute to people without hiring more expert server and networking admins

I put these into the bucket of productivity and low cost. And this issue arises when we need to scale our business, in particular our computation.
>The left is defined as moving. That's what "progressive" means

It's a little more complicated than that. Progressive and left can coincide in some cases, but they're not the same thing. Left ideas were often deemed "regressive", both in the economic and social domains.

In fact, according to Marx himself, capitalism (the essense of the "right" in European terms) is a revolutionary movement itself, which breaks down all established traditional order and social conventions.

And inversely, leftish causes, were often considered as anti-progress: the protection of workers from automation, environmental issues ("tree-huggers"), protesting against GMOs or nuclear power, celebrating native cultures, and of course protesting modernity and consumer society (a massive theme in the 60s and 70s leftist movements).

And of course in the 19th century, a huge number of leftist intellectuals were Romantics or close - against the rise of industry and alienation.

The reality is that the "progressivist" element, an inherently capitalistic dynamic (historically only partially shared with some parts of the left), has increasingly eaten up the folksy elements of the left, to the point that the modern left is mostly an upper middle class movement.
That might have happened if Israel hadn't interfered to deny Gazans any alternative to Hamas. Presumably they hoped that would cripple Gaza even more.

Why that one specifically? Doesn't say anything about free or open source. I use this one. https://immich.app/
I learned from that Alaska incident that a lot of people just don't lock their phone.
Publications should be responsible for the veracity of the content they publish. Instead they just shift the blame. They are 100% about profits and provide zero advantage, no wonder they are being replaced by free alternatives. But it doesn't solve the problem with fake papers and plagiarism.
I have not found a better 'true' IDE experience than JetBrains. Once it has done it's thing, it works pretty good. If your projects are big like a C++ codebase +2mil LOC then well the latency is going to suffer.

If you count VSCode as an IDE then I would suggest neovim with an LSP and a fuzzy finder. It is the fastest/best dev setup I have experienced for most things.

If you are very latency sensitive I am afraid an IDE/'smart'-editor may not be for you. Then I again would consider some lightweight editor that has fuzzy search and no intellisense.
This line of argument tends to be a delaying tactic by those that don't want the West to do anything substantial domestically. Also China's not the country that pulled out of global climate accords.
That situation escalated quickly:

You mean the Peacock-only Wild-Card game?
This is absolutely not true for a vast part of the PNW. For example, with Verizon, I've bailed myself out of several situations where the alternative would be - wait (nobody showed up in the time we were waiting for help when we called, so hours more at least) or walk 20+ miles.

I've also been in a situation where if we did not have a sat phone in our group, someone very well may have died from heat stroke/way to many sunburns.
Same! Maybe someone could do some language learning on top of all the videos we consume on YouTube?
