The ugly thing about eugenics is that someone has an artificial ideal of how people should be and then tries to enforce that. If something just happens without interference (a process), that's basically just evolution.

There is no eugenics angle in Idiocracy. Nobody tries to achieve some "genetic ideal" by manipulating people.

Singapore seems very oppressive and medieval when it comes to punishment of crimes. I wouldn't want to live there.

Indeed rural areas are not as well covered [1], but in cities it doesn't matter if you live in an old building. As long as your street has fiber (most do by now), when you switch to a fiber connection from your ISP, contractors will connect it to your house (even if you only rent an appartment) and install an optical outlet in your appartment, all for free.

Good article which would be even better without the AI slop images.

They think you're holding it wrong.

So you think AI can do this – why exactly is a genius needed?

You can do that in FreeCAD. Performance is horribly slow in my experience, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

OMG, so many open source projects need to read this:

(hello FreeCAD ;)

Something like this (if you leave off the numbers) captures it pretty well IMO. One clock hand which symbolically points at the position of the sun.

> how rich this country is that some random little lake somewhere will have a full blown parking lot

Aren't the parking spaces required by law, instead of "because we're rich"? I don't know, but I just watched the latest Not Just Bikes video, where he mentions legal requirements for stores to provide lots of parking spaces, which makes everything more expensive.

But you don't have to add a docstring. Cases like this are worse than no docstring at all, because it wastes the reader's time.

If you add one, at least make the effort to provide some useful information. For example which is more severe: higher or lower numbers.

I don't know much about CPU internals, but this sounds like bullshit to me. A NOP is still an instruction that uses a cycle - why should that cool the CPU down? The CPU frequency should get reduced to lower the power consumption and hence the temperature.

I agree with you, except for the blame part.

Of course people act accordingly to the system they're in. If they expect punishment for an action, or not, changes their behaviour. By defining what's punishable, we can change the course of action. But if you look at any action which already happened, you can't blame anyone for it, because it had to happen that way, given the circumstances.

right

This is not a US thing, this is a bureaucracy thing. You can enjoy that worldwide (at least in every "civilized" country).

Everybody is formed by their experiences and genes and they act accordingly. There is no free will. If you realize that, you realize that you can never blame anyone for anything, because they had no choice to act differently. As a customer it's still hard to take, when someone who is clearly formed by years of professional deformation, treats you like shit.

> just need something that can compile cross-platform and maintain great performance.

I think Go has already taken that part of the cake.

Set $WORDCHARS accordingly. In your case, remove / from $WORDCHARS.

You probably know this, but shooting in color and then converting to b/w afterwards gives you more artistic options than letting the camera do the b/w conversion.

Then at least let the company that makes your niche software know that you want a Linux version of it, even if you don't use Linux (yet). We need to solve this chicken / egg problem. Nobody wants to use Windows, they want to use some specific application. If most software is available on Linux too, then consumers can actually choose their OS.

With all these commandline and registry hacks to make macOS and Windows bearable, why not use Linux? You will also have to use the commandline if you want total customizability, but at least the OS doesn't actively fight you.

From the NN/g article:

"older versions of MacOS featured a menu designed by NN/g principal Bruce Tognazzini; that menu did not exhibit this behavior, but instead, used a vector-based triangular buffer to allow users to move diagonally. Unfortunately, in the years since, Apple has reverted this excellent bit of interaction design."

But I'm on macOS 15 and the menus seem to behave that way (the good way). Did they re-implement it?

> In software, there are better solutions.

You missed the point. Most things can be solved better. For example with undo or "fake undo" based on a delayed action or many other solutions, depending on the individual problem. Just asking "are you sure?" or forcing the user to jump through some hoops is the laziest and least user friendly way.

> can be configured with automated checks to allow safe actions (e.g. shutting down servers that don't receive significant traffic)

That's clever. This is what I meant when I wrote, that software allows for better solutions.
