Even tiling window managers don't really have any problems. They provide a very niche UX, which is almost entirely keyboard driven. There's not a single general application I can think of designed for use with this kind of window manager. Still, you get a pretty consistent user experience for the most part.
You've betrayed yourself with this statement. There isn't one Linux. I know this might just seem like more of the complexity non-Linux users want to avoid, however users are free to install whatever desktop environment or window manager they like. You could even opt for a desktop environment that resembles MacOS in most ways.
I use MacOS in my professional life, and Linux in my personal. My Linux PC has my own personalised setup built around the i3 window manager. I can say without question that I'm much faster and more productive on Linux than MacOS.
Did he spend any time modeling the physics of a helicopter control system? It would have to be of the most complex control systems to model. You don't just build a helicopter. Maybe he should have begun by building a scaled-down version instead. Maybe he did all of this due diligence, and just overlooked some unfortunate minor detail. Some of the comments here are blaming materials failure.
Are you joking? In what respect is the USSR of the 1970s more 'progressive'(so-called) than modern-day America?
You surely can't be serious. You are either being very disingenuous, or have not spent much time looking at the history of the Soviet Union.
> (From the Reddit post) "I’ve had men tell me that..."
I have never known men to not pursue women in earnest when real chemistry exists. This paragraph seems so much unlike the way men court women in real-life.
In a perfect world everyone would find love. I hope this person does too. Life can be very unfair, however some people behave in ways that make the job of finding lasting companionship much harder.
Men and women really do not seek out the same qualities in one another. This should not be as controversial an assertion as it tends to be in the modern social climate. I feel like the so-called "modern woman" was sold a bill of goods when they were told "What's good for goose is good for gander". This is simply not true. High-status men who have choices available to them in the sexual marketplace will generally choose women embodying more traditional feminine qualities. The author of the post even states as much in a roundabout fashion.
I first heard 4chan mentioned in conversation around 2005 or so. It was a remarkably different cultural phenomenon then, as everyone has noted. I had been a regular reader of TOTSE's BBS long before 4chan emerged. TOTSE fits your description of a forum with humble beginnings in the 80s BBS counterculture, which ended up appealing exclusively to antisocial pursuits.
Surely you jest. It really doesn't matter how you define success, IQ is a valid predictor of pretty much any definition of success you can think of. Income, academic achievement, you name it.
America is a failed state, the majority of Americans just don't know it yet. The founding mythos, and ideological bedrock of America has been replaced by something toxic and subversive. The ideological upheaval of the last few years has left behind a broken and confused country. One that will inevitably fracture into smaller parts, or devolve unequivocally into a mess like South Africa. If you go to the former USSR (for one example), you can see monuments to the country's tenacity in the face of absolute peril. Statues, monuments, and architecture which proudly memorialise their heroes, and their history. Meanwhile, delinquents in America have been tearing down any statue or monument with a European-sounding name. America will end up a country with no history, and no future.
Never apologise to the mob. Even a superficial understanding of game theory shows you that you have nothing to gain from the self-flagellation involved in a public apology. Remember, You'll never be forgiven. I've never seen an example where the mob has pursued entirely altruistic goals. It's the witch-trials of the 21st century. Nothing more.
Does this profession have any remaining dignity for this article to damage? I have an exceedingly low opinion of the institution that is social science, and the academic institutions that support it.
> In 1960, Kentler got a degree in psychology, a field that allowed him to be “an engineer in the realm of the . . . manipulatable soul,” he said at a lecture.
I see no reason to believe that the academic institutions that persist these institution do not all see themselves in this role as an "engineer in the realm of the manipulatable soul". They ostensibly exist solely for propagandistic purposes, pushing an agenda of leftist orthodoxy.

> "The belief in races as a natural aspect of human biology and the institutional and structural inequities (racism) that have emerged in tandem with such beliefs in European colonial contexts are among the most damaging elements in human societies."
The use of the term "European colonial contexts" betrays its intent immediately. I say this as a non-white person, of non-European origin.
> "Race does not provide an accurate representation of human biological variation. It was never accurate in the past, and it remains inaccurate when referencing contemporary human populations"
Only smart people could be convinced of such foolishness. A classification system as simple as 'race' may not provide an accurate taxonomy for all scientific purposes. It does however provide a sensible abstraction which has persisted uniformly across cultures and time because of its utility. Regardless of to what extent you believe the concept of 'race' explains population differences, there are clearly quantifiable differences between individuals associated with their genetic origins. This is well known in all biological scientific fields: medicine, forensics, pharmacology...
