We ask things like this because we fundamentally misunderstand the MAGA movement. The MAGA movement's fundamental claim is that America is under attack by an insurgent force. The Trump regime (read: Heritage Foundation) is a counter-insurgency operating under emergency conditions.
That's because they had serious investors
Perhaps if companies could not "just hire from overseas" or "just outsource" there would be a longer term growth strategy that would focus more on the education of the US population (not just training for this or that job).
Except the Heritage Foundation, er, I mean, Trump Administration controls all 3 branches of government and has all the freedom in the world to power a resuscitation of public education in America, except they're not interested in that at all; quite the opposite, they want to further fragment education baselines and make secondary education less desirable.
I had just seen some guy on TikTok pushing `mcp-knowledge-graph` the other day
So the Gnome 3 gang were ahead of their time?
This looks really well thought out
In the example function that calls `indexOf` in a for..of loop, my mind went straight to the `join('\n')` when the newline delimiter could've been included in the string concatenation operation in the loop.
I'd actually inquired with the dev on rather that change also applied to plugin bindings but he'd replied that it did not
You can't rebind plugin key maps and creating a new session conflicts with my preferred custom mode bindings. It's clear the devs are both rather opinionated and want to ship features, but they gotta clear stuff like that up, I'm not interested in doing that from CLI when tmux does this without issue.
Yeah that's not a good way of describing, its more like Verb-Direction-Subject, e.g. `d3f(` means "delete up to the 3rd opening paren"; `2f.` means "move cursor to the 2nd found '.' character"; but there are exceptions when the subject is implicit, like `5j` means "Move down 5 physical lines".
Helix reverses bindings so that subject is first and verb is second
Maybe Evil-Helix[0] is what's called for. Still seems like it has lots of edges.
I terribly need a vim-like with Helix all-in-one comprehensiveness. Neovim distributions are too loosely coupled and always have some odd sharp edge. Vim and its interfaces needs some rethinking anyway, but keep Action-Object modal orientation.
But I bet they had their mask on when they tried. I could look outside my window in my urban American city and see people walking around without a mask, especially when the weather is nice. Last night my downstairs neighbors had a big loud party and another tenant yelled at them to turn the volume down. In the summer, not one pre-teen or teenager was wearing a mask in my neighborhood. Are we really gonna compare the limited instances of people being weld into their apartment to sheer collective wantonness going on stateside? And I live in a blue city.
We need to face the reality that on average people make bad choices which leads to substantial negative outcomes for any group. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic again confirms empirically that humans on average don’t have self-responsibility.
None of this has to be accepted or conceded to, somehow East Asian countries are able to do to this right, even New Zealand just so we don't start hovering on West vs East, this is absolutely not "humans on average don't have self-responsibility", this is a specific culture that has promoted entitlement, selfishness, materialist hedonism, and ruthless, hackneyed individualism since the late 60s and now the bill has come due
Ask Dr Dré
Xi is exacting specific cultural violence as an administrator, neither the Mongols nor the Romans were as ridiculously obsessed with building an ethno-state as Xi once conquest was largely complete. Somehow, antiquity, immensely cruel and violent as it was, understood cultural/religious tolerance as an administrative principle better than a number of governments do today
Grouping Xi and Ghengis Khan is also an affront to the way in which modern state violence is exacted, we're comparing a confederation of nomadic horse warriors already habituated to raiding as a lifestyle vs a rational state organizing targeted cultural purgation
Continuous delivery, amirite?
I dunno about unbiased, seems pretty concerned about 18 year old girls specifically might be "at risk" but then wants to say "well maybe that 18 year old comes from an abusive household and so she could use the money", like come on
Women profiting from OF is not some bubble-like behavior that might sabotage American society down the line if we're not 'careful', sex work has existed since the beginning of time and in much much more liberal forums than American society, and will continue to exist to a non-trivial degree wherever urban populations exist. Like no shit, lotta single people stuck in front of their screens so its a gold rush at the moment; who cares.
The more concerning problem is the growing puerility of hetero men for lack of a better term and porn trends in America tend to confirm that. These women aren't putting a gun to anyone's head, and Jordan Peterson had a very big audience for a reason
If the heat/cooling story is here for the Mini, that thing is exactly what I need
You won't have to deal with an army of knights but litigation backed by an army of lawyers on retainer now
So is the lesson here for people working lower in the desktop stack to try to appreciate other people's limited time?
One of my favorite Nietzsche quotes is him saying Spinoza thought dressing up his work in the form of a mathematical treatise was him thinking he was dipping his philosophy in bronze like baby shoes
Comments like this weren't here 10 years ago, what happened?
It's no longer popular to bring up writers like The Philosopher, but Aristotle made the same essential observation over 2000 years ago that it is the nature of humans, no different than bees, to form a political order.
Spinoza pushes this naturalism even further when he asserted that there was no way to prove that human civilization is somehow distinct from termites building giant dirt mounds; "we don't know what a body can do" - being a human body and producing artifacts are the same thing, just like being a human body and auto-organizing politically (a slightly different product) is indistinct. These are things our bodies do.
What's crazy is it feels like no one's been keeping track of all the "Western chauvinist" violence in the past decade. Everything is pointing to some notion of a "last stand of the West" weird shit.

The elephant in the room is that due to rather dark times in the U.S. history, there are cultural differences between an average Black and an average White family. It doesn't mean that every family of a certain race will fit the stereotype, but if you look at numbers, they do check out. This isn't fair, this isn't nice, but it's a very important piece of the puzzle and you cannot solve the problem without admitting it.
I am loving this utter shit assumption that is clearly being taken as gospel given the upvotes.
Do you actually believe the AVERAGE Black person you describe is not only engaging in tech with gusto but also good enough to get an interview for a senior staff position at Microsoft?
Ah, but the assumption is not only that this will be the case, but that Microsoft will also just blindly hire said person to "satisfy quotas"... WHEN HAS THAT EVER HAPPENED!?!?
You don't even have a personal anecdote of seeing this happen, and I doubt few of the people upvoting this dribble actually have, and more than likely not to any significant degree in the aggregate either.
Like, holy shit, if your description of an average Black is true, that entire curve on the bell don't even COME CLOSE to participating in tech AT ALL. Good job on the completely un-contextual resort to "statistical reasoning" to dunk on Black people.
Not to mention you show your colors when you fail to account for the children of African immigrants rather than the descendants of slaves in the US. But no, let's believe there's a line of unwashed Black masses, brutish and poorly educated, standing in an employment line that wraps around the Redmond campus waiting to get that hand-out job.
Fuckin hell, what is really happening in the tech industry is that a number of you aren't hiring perfectly qualified people because their afro or some such made you uncomfortable so they were told they weren't hired for "culture fit".
Seriously, one species has undergone intensive inbreeding with the express purposes of cultivating physical and mental dependency, the other is still a feral predator that can continue flourishing without you. That robustness necessarily implies intelligence, the ability to discriminate perceptions (Chimpanzees can perceive magic tricks; they can discriminate that something has taken place that should not have followed from what was known). People mistake socially pliable for intelligence.
Yikes, thought we were speaking generally
The Last of Us Part II
lack of appreciation for education
Have you ever been to a Black public school, like actually attended one as a student? I promise you the #1 problem isn't lack of appreciation for education.
fatherless homes
Except this actually has a pretty pinpoint time when it began to cultivate and it overlaps with the War on Drugs and the stagnation of Black middle class growth in the 80s. The modern situation is accumulation of these effects, not their cause.
