> If I may, the reason you are unimpressed is that you are on the political side that benefited from Twitter's selective bias this time around. Next time you may not be as lucky tho.
You may. I'm on no one's "side", though.

You may. I'm on no one's "side", though.
Twitter refrained from forwarding a story to which there is no factual basis. You can of course still read it with the New York Post if you so desire.
That's all there is to it.
Unlike the author I do use recent Laptops with Linux. Like the author I like to actually own my machine.
I would never trade this for a "gadget" running Android, ChromeOS, or IOS - other than my phone that is.
It seems nothing I can say will have you reflect on your viewpoint, so I won't. Take care.
What is being said is that the police shouldn't be the instance to handle incidents where what is really needed is counseling, or social working. We're talking about shifting funds to those and let police do what they have been trained for.
On that, as an aside... I will say that as black-belt in Aikido, I remain flabbergasted that police officers are not taught simple techniques to subdue or disable people/threats without resorting to deadly force.
To your original post I will also say that owning a gun does not make you and your family impervious to crime! You cannot protect your family with a gun, it doesn't give your family a bullet proof shield. On the contrary you will likely escalate a situation.
What is different these days is that we simply deny the facts, provide "alternate facts", or simply lie about facts. As a result we no longer agree on a basic basis of truth, truth has become a belief or a choice.
That is toxic, since it is used to simply avoid meaningful discussion. It is a fundamental change in how we conduct our discourse. And so new measures are needed.
Rather than censoring speech, I'd prefer fact checking, which may or may not amount to the same.
Is that still the case?
A site like this could then used to make legal replicas of books.
I have also observed the obvious opportunists being found out and being managed out or at least not promoted - perhaps they were just bad at it and didn't move quickly enough.
In any case, if that would truly be the price for getting promoted, then I think that price seems to high. The author is either confused or worked at the wrong places.
I work with folks who have kids and folks that don't. There is absolutely no sign of this. I interact with a fairly large group of people; everybody is understanding and supportive.
Now. Perhaps I'm in a lucky bubble here, and it's different in other places. Perhaps the article is click-bait. Hard to know.
In the end it seems rather pointless to build up resentment this way anyway. There is so much evidence that a good work-live balance has a greater impact on productivity than skill - engineers who work less often get done more.
Managers who do not understand that should, frankly, do something else.
It's "pure", modern, and I really like the KDE spin.
The non-pure stuff - when needed - is available through rpmfusion (the non free repo).
Sure, I'm kind of a "beta tester" for RedHat Linux, but on the flip side there's nothing commercial in it.
Apple is only the distributor here. If they would charge a reasonable processing fee (4-5% like credit card companies do) nobody would have had - presumably - a problem.
Unlike with most (all?) other platforms there is no way to install apps from any alternate sources.
30% is the modern version of way-laying. (IMHO at least)
2. Anyone can install any 3rd party app on an Android device, there's even a open app store "F-Droid" for open apps that anyone can use.
3. You can still run an app store. You just have to allow other ways to install apps. That way your store would be used only if it's better than the other ways to install apps.
I'm not using any Apple products for exactly that reason (other than what my workplace forces upon me.)
On my Android phone I can install any 3rd party app I please - there even is "F-Droid", a non-Google app store for open apps, which I use a lot.
And for desktops I use Linux. I guess I'm in the minority - even here on HN.
Taking a 30% cut of all future revenue from the game just because they established the initial install is waylaying!
While in calculus you declaratively describe the set of data you want and let the system figure out how to get it, in the algebra you describe how to construct the set you want.
With that in mind SELECT ... WHERE ... is calculus, UNION and JOIN, etc. are algebra.
I like SQL, though.
The maintainers are organized like a tree, Linus never saw my tiny change (I assume) but the maintainer reviewed it carefully.
I served mandatory military service in the Bundeswehr back in the day.
Every single bullet was accounted for: All bullets were numbered, and when we would go to the shooting range we'd get bullets from a batch. We made sure that all bullets handed out were actually used, and all of our names were recorded with that batch of bullets - if any bullet of that batch ever turned up anywhere else, they would know who to check.
With that in mind 60k bullets is large number of bullets to be lost.
Edit: Grammar and spelling. Edit: Back then these were 7.62mm rounds for the G3, and (I think) 5mm rounds for the uzi (or uzi-like).
I've been using Linux on Laptops since the last 90s, on a variety of Thinkpads. T42, T500, T440p, X1E gen2
Yes, 10 or 15 years ago you had to fiddle a lot, I mostly even compiled my own customized Kernels.
This was mostly due the hardware manufacturer not releasing specs for anything, so you had to fiddle around that.
At some point I stopped compiling my own Kernels, it wasn't needed anymore, but there was still a bunch of software I wanted and compiled from source. Then that too became less and less, since what I need is now typically shipped with the distributions (I've been using Fedora).
Then it required fiddling with the video drivers to support dual video cards (Intel and NVidia). No longer needed. Now you just add the rpmfusion repos and install the drivers.
Everything just works. (New network printers or other devices are detected, the right drivers found, etc, etc.)
Cutting edge hardware (perhaps laptops releases within the last 1/2 year or so) sometimes still gives problems.
With Lenovo actually shipping Linux with its new laptops even that will no longer be a problem - at least with these laptops.
In addition, if you want to, you can know what's going on if you use Linux.
In fact I find myself getting annoyed with both MacOS and Windows (when I look at problems on my friends' machines). Everything is so opaque.
Also, in order to cause the Cherenkov radiation, the neutrino has interact at least with an electron, I wonder about the percentage of the number of neutrinos interacting with the water in this vs. the number of neutrinos that interacted with Earth on the way.
Not anything practical... I'd just be curious.
Consider:
1. Ebooks go through great length to make the information behave like a physical book.
2. Libraries have to buy as many licenses as they can plan to lend our concurrently
3. Licenses will even expire after a bit, because that's what real book do, they wear of.
So far so good (if your goal is to simulate real books). But now:
1. Wanna give your ebook to a friend? nada
2. Wanna lend your ebook to a friend? nada
3. Wanna use the book after companies decide to disable their license servers? nada
4. Imagine a few hundred years from now. We can still look at old books because they exist and their content is not controlled. That would not be possible.
Of course it is always possible to remove the DRM protection, but that is illegal.
We've been duped.
Edit: Layout.
Could you point me to a website? It is ev3dev?
Noted. I'll spend my money elsewhere.
You can do this with
cryptsetup open ... --type plainHe just specifically called out the A380 for being exquisitely balanced.
There were many more interesting stories including some (controlled) crashes and an uncontrolled crash when they tried the planes under extreme conditions.
He actually felt sorry for "normal" pilots, since they do not really get to try out the planes :)
Anyway...
Among other stories he told me that the A380 is one of best balanced planes out there, and apparently a joy to fly. He said even without engines he could easily land it like a glider.
Now, I can't really verify what he said, but he seemed sincere.
Having travelled in the A380 as passenger, I will sure miss it.
