Not at all. The Republican party loves to throw both labels at anything it doesn't like, but most people who are against fascism are not communists.

Opposing fascism and racism is not "radical left". It's centrism. The State Department's words are not A/I's.

Awesome writeup, thanks. I wasn't aware of iperf3 as a tool. This helped me confirm that the 10GbE lines I ran a while ago are in good shape. I didn't need to change any NIC settings, but I'm on an X540 instead of an E610-X

You're ignoring all of the other things I said. Keyboard shortcuts, navigation, and more are inconsistent in web apps. Will they work at all? Will they use different keys? No one knows. Will they respect my OS theming? What about

> most GUIs should just be web. Hard disagree. Most web interfaces are worse than most native UIs. Inconsistent rendering, keyboard shortcuts and navigation between apps, slow response times, and more. There's a reason everyone wh

Read the article. The argument is not "GUIs should require keyboard navigation", it's "everything should be possible with the keyboard".

Because not everyone has a mouse or is able to use a mouse. Accessibility matters.

It's not an unnecessarily high bar. Change is bad. It takes engineers time to understand and approve. It confuses users. Changes should be made for good reasons, not frivolously. Just because writing code is easier does not mean you

Change is bad unless it's great. Unless the change is an obvious improvement, it has to be worth the time for the maintainers to spend attention reviewing it (and supporting the code forever, and all the rest). Even if these particular

No. Fearmongering and lying is how we got here. The narrative of "oh if normal people weren't so mean calling out the awful things these voters say and do, they would have behaved otherwise" is simply not true. For them it&

Compliant with what? The proposal is "throw out all the compatibility and build some other kind of terminal" in which case nothing is portable.

Issuing tickets doesn't require retaining any data on vehicles you aren't ticketing, you're conflating issues.

On the contrary, I find that higher quality writing - the kind by authors who know how and when to use the emdash and semicolon, for instance - gets flagged as "slop" more. the only reliable way to not get flagged is 2 type like u

We know the author is edgy and cool because they swear a lot, don't care about sentence structure, and their shift key only works 30% of the time. We know they're wise because they insult everything else in the world and claim to

This is a weird article. The first half is somewhat interesting but can be summarized entirely by its last paragraph: > I’m fairly sure a meaningful percentage of my system prompt is now actively making things worse—instructions written

What's your source for this? This isn't how patent law works. You can't patent "repairing a road" but you can absolutely patent a new mechanism to do so. Most patents are of this form - there are far more patents f

"repairing DNA" isn't patentable, but "a mechanism for altering base pairs using <I won't insult actual chemists by pretending I know plausible terms here>" is absolutely patentable.

The government outcompetes the private sector in almost everything it gets into. Healthcare, mail delivery, fire relief, and far more. The private sector is all about slashing quality and raising prices.

Your "226" includes the one-time initial development costs. You're comparing $40/yr in perpetuity versus something like $220 once, $6/yr after that - and I suspect the actual costs of running the system are far low

No one has "invented" that it's untestable. String theory literally doesn't give predictions that would allow it to be falsified. There are an astounding number of possible geometries that mean that any set of data cou

Your existing bike hopefully fits you great rather than having to modify a low-mid grade ebike. Perhaps you don't have space for more bikes. Perhaps you want a bike made of good components that are easy to repair. It's a signif

Black holes were theorized and you could design experiments that, given the proper instruments, would allow them to be detected. Relativity was similar (famously, the curvature of spacetime was demonstrated during a solar eclipse by being

Spending your life's work on a theory that is widely agreed to be untestable is certainly a form of ego, or at least is more philosophy than science.
