Buddy, I’ve got some bad news for you: if you want to move everyone you don’t like to an island so that you don’t have “shit all over your streets,” you are actually siding with fa…

the entirety of your post assumes that homelessness is a moral failing of individuals when the entirety of what we know about community development and psychology shows that that i…

Fascists think up this kind of plan; this kind of society is a fascist society

My dude I saw homeless people in towns with a population of 4000 in Mississippi. This is just false.

Minimum wage in the US is $5.15/hour iirc. At 40 hours per week (which many jobs won’t reliably get), that’s ~$824/month BEFORE taxes, food, and so on. Even in the rural south wher…

Most people care a LOT more about the easy audio and video chat.

> I have tested multiple Windows games on M1 MacBook Air through Crossover So you had x64 binaries calling a DX API that called a Vulkan API that called a Metal API all on top of a…

I think it’s interesting that not many people here bring up Discord. It’s by far the most challenging competitor for the average user, IMO. Full of features and very easy to use.

Yes, it is also police brutality, that is correct. The people fighting the police (many of whom are police themselves, and whom some police are collaborating with) also just attemp…

The capitol police definitely don’t seem to have been acting as one unit in this. At least some were trying to protect the capitol.

Because after 9/11 we spent twenty years pretending that brown men are the perpetrators of mass violence in this country

Given that there were literally millions of protestors on the streets over the summer, 20 is a pretty tiny number. Multiple people have already died from the DC attacks, just in tw…

I don’t think wanting a regulatory framework is bad at all (though I think in the last few decades, we have naïvely tried to regulate companies into doing things that are simply co…

I think this is an instance of the biggest, most disastrous fallacy of the last half century: that a company is a social utility. It’s not. It’a a bunch of rich people in Californi…

In defense, I would argue that many modern language design advancements DO relate to multithreading in some way. Rust’s borrow checker and linear/affine types can help with thread …

Have you heard of ransomware? Expired certificates? DDoS?

Security deficiencies are technical debt

Running with uid 1000 in the Docker group in prod is a very bad idea to begin with

I’m not so sure; I think a _lot_ of people would be interested in advanced in non-ML image analysis tech. While ML has been effective for a recent period in industry, it has a numb…

Have you played with NixOS or Guix at all? They attempt to solve this problem from the ground up for the entire OS. It obviously has trade offs, but IMO it is the best solution aro…

I know that there is at least some speculation that autism in women is under diagnosed v men. Does this paper account for that? Edit: yeah, that’s the conclusion of the analysis. I…

Debian also did this.

I don't mean to bring back the forum lifestyle of the 00s, but this is just plainly FUD. Linux does not cause hardware issues like this with any high frequency (of course it may oc…

Well, Apple has managed to move all the way down to a 5nm process while Intel still hasn't made it past 14nm. AFAIK that's the largest limiting factor for Intel. I can't speak to w…

At which point in history did words have a centralized and objective meaning across all usages?
