I'm using a current version of VS Code with the IntelliSense mode set to `linux-gcc-x64` and it seems to work quite well actually.

Would that be worth anything, though? What about the overhead of clock cycles needed for loading from and storing to RAM? Might not amount to a net benefit for performance, and it could also potentially complicate heat management I bet.

...Huh. So does this increased biodiversity mean that I have, perhaps, stronger immune defenses or quicker healing in certain oral tissues due to hybrid vigor[1] in the back of my throat?

pretty sure the C type system is not turing complete, but that doesn't necessarily make it superior

Woman here. The thesis of this article is a gross overgeneralization. There is no doubt in my mind that, if sex robots became more commonplace, some women would be using them. Though we tend to be into different things, our sexual interests are every bit as diverse and salacious as men's. If men exist who are interested in some specific kink or sex toy, it's practically a certainty that there exist women who are into the same thing.

The DOGE is mainly staffed by former employees of Elon Musk's companies, many of them being in their early twenties and one being 19 years old [1]. The presence of so many Musk associates is a conflict of interest: supposing "god mode" means that DOGE has unfiltered access to the private data of US citizens, there's not much stopping Elon Musk from exploiting that data for personal gain. And besides, would you want your private data to be in the hands of so many very young people who have little prior experience in anything?

I think you're right, and I also wonder: Considering how hard it is for us to engineer a fusion plant that merely "breaks even" in terms of energy made usable to us, will fusion plants ever be competitive with fission plants? Like, I understand that hydrogen is a lot cheaper than plutonium or enriched uranium, but iirc we never had an issue getting fission plants to break even. As far as I'm aware, the technology for exploiting fission was obvious as soon as they realized that radioactive decay could be hot enough to boil water, and at risk of sounding glib, everything else about it is just safety measures. Whereas there is no fusion equivalent of "The Pile"[1] from Fermi et al.

And where will this person sleep? What will they eat? How will they speak all the local languages from Portuguese to Turkish? What if their bike gets stolen?

You could host bug tracking separately from git, with Bugzilla perhaps?

Yes! There are alternatives to Github, people! Diversify! Switch to Sourcehut or Gitea or Gitlab or even DIY with Gitolite. git is a decentralized peer-to-peer system, we shouldn't let Microsoft have a monopoly on its use.

Ah, so of course you yourself, or someone you care about, would never be a guilty person, right? You would never find yourself, say, breaking a law that you didn't know about, or doing something that's technically a criminal act but seemed innocent enough at the time (the classic insider trader's lament), nor would you ever have a close family member who is charged with a serious crime. Or if you did, you would bravely accept the judgement of the court without taking exception.

You know, it would be terrible if I was found guilty of willful copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which carries "A fine of not more than $500,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both, for the first offense"[1]. If I had committed such a terrible act as torrenting seven movies, the insult to my conscience would surely move me to accept the felony penalties with civic stoicism - after such twisted malice from myself, the additional moral consequences of pleading "Not Guilty" would be too great to bear.

Some websites have a feature for that called a "block button"

This is true and especially apparent to those who have suffered it.

Taking psilocybin in a corporate setting sounds like a bad time imo, even at a low dose. Plus, there's always that one guy at the office Christmas party...

I'm never surprised when this happens. But I wish it didn't happen so frequently on this website in particular. Oh well.

The GDP of the USA is about 28 trillion dollars. The US military's budget alone is over eight hundred billion dollars. I think we can manage.

The systemic racism in the public and private economic sectors of American society is of a subtler character than the individual racism promoted by the kinds of people who run explicitly pro-fascist websites. Unlike those people, most US companies and government agencies are deeply concerned with appearing to not be racist, because racism is very unpopular with most American consumers and voters.

Well, if you change your email address, I guess you just don't receive the message. I don't think there's any way around that unless you maintain an unbroken chain of email forwarding from older addresses.

"former Republican governor without a Ph.D" - Are these traits disqualifiers for some reason?

A Ph.D. is a pretty reasonable qualification to expect of a university director.

Some people have had the same email address longer than that.

Ever try Disco Elysium?

Absolutely! That's how the "walled garden" business model works.

Is it so shocking that a government agency might take an inhumane approach to managing their public image?

You know what's funny? Those tungsten cubes that were a fad recently will be among the most enduring relics of our time, because tungsten is extremely hard and corrosion-resistant. I imagine some archaeologist digging one of those up in a thousand years' time, thinking, "What the hell did they make this thing for?"

yeah

Indeed. At minimum, approximately everyone in China, Russia, and other states currently or formerly governed by a self-described Communist party, i.e. at least a quarter of all people alive. Not to mention that it is becoming difficult to go online without seeing someone expressing an opinion about Marxism, pro or against.

He was not "fond" of capitalism - he rightly considered it preferable to feudalism, but to Marx, capitalism and liberalism were two sides of the same coin: capitalism the economic side, liberalism the political side. He was a revolutionary socialist and a proponent of organized labor; the "liberalism" Marx hated was what we would now call "classical liberalism".

I think the most famous man in history would have to be Jesus of Nazareth. Marx is definitely up there, though.

In what sense is Wikipedia "state/oligarch controlled"?
