systemd not SystemD

systemd not SystemD idk why people got that in their head.

I'd love to find more info on this but from what I can find it seems to be making webpages that look like those product, and seemingly can "run python" or "emulate a game" but writing something that, based on all of GitHub, can approximate an iPhone or emulator in javscript/css/HTML is very very very different than writing an OS.

I'll acknowledge that it's a strange comment and I could rewrite things to get the behavior I want and the reasoning is well explained by the author

But I find that there are cases in my workflow that I am more bothered by these things in magit than benefit I get from it.

I always see people saying magit is awesome but i really can't stand it. Especially the keybindings and transient which seems the main draw.

I think I broadly agree with this. I am super frustrated that everythign always wants me to search for things. As an example Finders default search while looking at a folder is the whole machine instead of a filter in the directory you are viewing in seems totally insane to me. It's almost like they don't want me to know where my files are.

I can understand that it's a result, to a degree of cloud services and peoples primary mode swapping to opening and app and opening recents or searching instead of opening a file to open an app but it does mean that you're at the mercy of what I experience as some pretty crap search algorithms that don't seem to want you to find the information you're looking for. I keep encountering searches that rank fuzzy matches over exact matches or aren't stable as you continue to complete the same word and I just don't understand how that's acceptable after being pointed out if search is what I'm supposed to be using.

Awesome I wasn't having enough trouble figuring out what I could tap and not now everything has this crappy distorted look.

this has been a known problem with YouTube for ever and they seem to have no interest in fixing it.

If so: why, and what for?

A huge amount of important existing software is written in C. If the code is already written or needs to inter-operate with other pieces in many languages I typically write C. There are a also lot of things that can be easier in C because that modern safer languages would stop you from doing foot shooting things that C won't it's quicker sometimes to write or prototype in C.

If not: why not, and what do you use instead?

A not insignificant part of my career has been fixing bugs in C code that's been around forever. It's almost always the same class of dumb bugs that wouldn't exist in other languages. This is not anecdata the research agrees. No new projects should be started in C there are better tools.

I really dislike reading website that take over half the screen and make me read off to the side like this. I can fix it by zooming in but I don't understand why they thought making the navigation take up that much of the screen or not be collapsable was a good move.

YES PLEASE. I'd really like to see us head towards 3 6 hours days.

I think most is doing a lot of work there. No one I know who games or does CAD is mining crypto because it's in no way worth it and I imagine there's nothing but anecdata for your statment either.

This is actually a big part of Modern Monetary theory: From the wikipedia page

  ...the primary risk once the economy reaches full 
  employment is inflation, which can be addressed by 
  gathering taxes...

It seem pretty common for people who own Apple products to say "2013 macbook air" and that is easy to find on the device or in the software. Apple makes it pretty clear newer is better. Intel has a bunch of lakes and numbers and an easier way to tell would be nice all around. Though Apple has less skus to differentiate making it much easier for them.

right, what we needs is high housing prices.

I mean we've known for a while select is broken that code is probably buggy and insecure.

Yeah basically the same stuff i dislike about the 'Listen now' and other weird modes.

I really don't like overcast : ( I've tried to switch several times, especially since the podcast redesign and I just can't.

The podcast app is trash too

They wouldn't have those issues... if they released the source. Like they agreed they would.

Not all plants work everywhere or should, some on that list are invasive to areas. Your local university or city probably has resources for what native plants would work best for your environment and bees.

I'm thinking the same thing. I have 28" 4k monitors and my 2560x1440 14" laptop doesn't bother me I can't image complaining about 4k on a 15.6 inch.

Leaving the EU and expecting to get most of if not all the benefits with no sacrifices, as it was sold to people is insane.

If this is correct, tax policy is a huge distraction, and if governments really want to jump-start growth they should be funding basic research, ensuring that the results are public (to their citizens, at least), and encouraging bright young people from across the world to immigrate to their jurisdictions.

Which could be accomplished by raising taxes.

Raising taxes, particularly in the US to pay for social services like healthcare and education would also have a huge effect on growth and productivity. It's not really the level of taxes that matters it's that you spend money on things that enabled people to pursue innovation/employement/art/etc and not get burnt out on administrative bullshit and constant stress from preventable things.

This I assume:

It was an answer to a question that wasn't asked. The senator was asking whether facebook owns that data it has about a person, and the answer was that you own what you post. Those are very different sets. A follow up to answer whether facebook believes it owns the data it's accumulated about you would've been great.

nope.

Anoxic water aren't actually that rare and exist in a lot of freshwater systems (lakes, marshes, etc.) to one degree or another. The range of depths in the Black see is impressive but there are others that are comparable. [1]

How are advertised speeds and maximum speeds equivalent? Google is advertising speeds to their consumers and their consumers are selecting a speed. Googles obligation is to provide that service at that speed. Similar to how ISPs should provide service at the selected speed. This isn't the ISP choosing to throttle certain services. This is a service choosing to run at a certain speed.

The difference in skill between Alex Honnold and the majority of other climbers can't be overstated. But I think the main difference in speed has to do with familiarity. Alex didn't just go up to this wall and start climbing it. He's done it over and over and over and over again. He know what moves he needs to make and how to do them. You climb much quicker when you don't have to do any route finding.
