Joe Biden "created" jobs the way covid "created" job vacancies. Maybe time periods with worldwide upheaval should be taken with a little salt.

Yes, there are some flaws. The first airplanes also had some flaws, and crashed more often than they didn't. That doesn't change how incredible it is, while it's improving.

Maybe, just maybe, this thing that was, until recently, just research papers, is not actually a finished product right now? Incredibly hot take, I know.

I hope so. We're right on the cusp of having computers that actually are everything we ever wanted them to be, ever since scifi started describing devices that could do things for us. There's just a few pesky details left to iron out (who pays for it, insane power demand, opaque models, non-existent security, etc etc).

Things actually can "do what I mean, not what I say", now. Truly fascinating to see develop.

Are there many of those current satellites running gpus and actually generating lots of heat?

> Also, they are restricted in how they use it, and defendents have rights and due process.

It's a nice sentiment, if true. ICE is out there, right now today, ignoring both individual rights as well as due process.

This seems good? LFS isn't about building Linux the way Linux was built 40 years ago. It's about learning how to do today's Linux, from scratch. Steps that lead to a radically different build from most Linux distros are therefore off the mark, and not really educational to show how a modern Linux is built.

Lots of pearl clutching in here about it, tho

Byting at the bit?

I was a Just enjoyer for quite a while, until I tried mise. Mise does all the same things as just, but also has source/output tracking to avoid rerunning build jobs (like make), and also bundles runtimes like asdf. It's become my all-in-one task runner of choice.

What's that even mean

From your link:

> In late 2025, the Mint halted the production of pennies for circulation, largely due to cost.

Management is already never held accountable, so replacing them is a net benefit.

It works for me, in that I don't care about all the intermediate babble ai generates. What matters is the final changelist before hitting commit... going through that, editing it, fixing comments, etc. But holding it's hand while it deals with LSP issues of a logger not being visible sometimes, is just not something I see a reason to waste my time with.

This seems factually incorrect and ignorant of history. Java has tons of things which shouldn't be used. Serialization (use Jackson now, not the built-in stuff), date/time (there's an entirely different namespace so you don't accidentally use garbage classes), etc.

C# similarly has old warts that are discouraged now. .NET Framework is a great example (completely different from modern c#, which used to be called "dotnet core"). WPF and MAUI are also examples. Or when "dynamic" was used as a type escape hatch before the type system advanced to not need it. ASP being incompatible with ASP.NET, the list goes on.

They're just languages, there's no reason to pretend they're perfect.

The US government has made it pretty clear that we're two countries. There's the USA, and "democratic-controlled cesspools". Dropping a bomb on Chicago isn't that nuts when you don't think of Chicago as part of your country.

Just because we were a bad country in the past, does not mean we should continue to be a bad one today.

Do you know of any studies which show any evidence at all that gambling has no costs?

Tracking the population without cause is never the right use case for anything.

On the otherhand, I greatly appreciate that we don't pretend everyone is 100% awesome all the time. We shouldn't hold people up as role models that we don't want to emulate, and whatnot.

Still, complaining about something you can only possibly see when you're not using the computer is such a minor thing, whether you like it or not, I cant find myself to care in any amount.

I, too, am irrationally furious at microsoft for forcing me to look at nature scapes and offering a link to learn more if I wanted.

I've found that a colorful note guide (such as: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BC8NVW4Q) to be very helpful. Without it, I felt completely lost when looking at sheet music.

How many years faster would we have gotten through the black death if some people had been vaccinated against it? Was losing over 30% of Europe's population better than... not doing that?

Interesting comparison. Did Luigi do anything wrong?

> I don't see any case of US citizens being tortured, murdered, and disappeared at scale. Source please?

ICE exists, and does all of those.

1) ai summaries at the top of search results - very often inaccurate

2) ai bots are the only available support for some large companies, and seem mostly unable to actually provide support

3) Spotify has been getting flooded with ai generated music, most of which is complete garbage

4) the literal president of the usa regularly publishes ai slop of himself abusing his citizens

None of the above is helpful. None of the above was asked for. None of the above was created for free.

Because it's forced down our throat, non-functional, and expensive. Do we really need a whole article for that?

You're right, it's expensive and hard, so it's better to not do anything and... migrate all humanity onto space stations so we don't die with the earth, I guess is the alternative you're suggesting?

In 5-10 years, you can upgrade the motherboard+processor on a framework, which is much cheaper than a whole new laptop.

Games are made for windows because that's where the device drivers have historically been. Any other viewpoint is ignoring reality.

That logo is like concentric rings of power around Galadriel's seer-pool, looking at... Hogwarts?
