Powershell is a shell. Shells don’t do package management. Do you mean sth like ZSH plugin installers?

There is some genuine insight here, but it is needlessly bundled with defending the kids. Blind conformity is bad, and falls under the umbrella of having a weak will.

One obvious loophole is that there a lot of people (SSNs) who haven’t gone to a college already, so the college can just sign up people and get subsidies without those “students” ever showing up. They can pay these students, or possibly fak

Having a docker image that sets up a VPN server with ideally zero config, plus short instructions for setting up the clients in popular OSes would go a long way to help adoption.

Driving is much more difficult than maybe pressing a button once in a year. Of course it’d pay less. Any lucid person can do it with little training.

I think Windows Forms (C#/VB.NET) is still as easy.

As the parent alluded, you can just not respect copyright. They can either give you a decent experience, or they can be content with only having uneducated dummies as their customers. Alternatively, you can just not watch their shitty conte

Do you need an online course to give you “assignments?” (AKA exercises, as they don’t really need to be assigned.)

And how are you going to generate a US level income in Indonesia? This can only work for retired people living completely off passive income, and even then, it ignores the many cultural and infrastructural problems of living in a poor place

It’s about the reference class. The class of allsame sequences has only a few members. The class of … random numbers all over ala 71833791 has a lot of members. So the probability of seeing the former class is tiny. Think of it in terms of

It actually is possible that geniuses are rare but still contribute a significant fraction to the society. (Which means allocating resources to them will be the socially optimal choice.) Not that taking calculus takes a genius, as evidenced

Knowing the theorems behind calculus is difficult. But they don’t magically make you able to solve limits, integrals, etc. So having different courses that focus on different parts is smart. E.g., there can be a course on compilers that tea

The assumptions above should result in ensuring educational resources are available for people who are struggling. They should also show people in which careers calculus is useful, to motivate people. Making calculus mandatory for everyone

I took a quick look, and I like what I’ve seen. Adding some advanced examples to a cookbook section will be appreciated.

Eating is the consumption of matter for the continued survival of the organism. Breathing is the consumption of matter for the continued survival of the organism. Ergo, breathing is eating.

This is the way reality works. You can’t escape from the strongest man in the world. Burying your head in sand doesn’t cut it. Twitter does put a lot of stuff from people one doesn’t follow in their feed though. I imagine the problem would

Excellent logic for a curation platform. Unfortunately, the App Store is a monopoly on app distribution, not a curation platform.

Why would the newly installed board be allowed to allow a merger with such a low number? This seems to be the root problem, and it can happen in other scenarios when a coalition controls 51% of the shares. The law needs to protect the minor

People should bother a second to think who benefits from their unexamined beliefs. To be honest, a lot of people seem to want to kiss ass for the “prestigious” companies, too. You can see this phenomenon on all Apple threads, for example. T

It has optional typing, but as it’s fast without it, I haven’t dug into them. I don’t know about a union type though.

I haven’t tried Zig yet, but I liked Common Lisp better than Go and Rust for fast CLI apps/scripts. You need to dump an image with all your deps already loaded, and then you can run small scripts with instant compilation very fast. It’

Then you can already use a Telegram channel. (Or an RSS feed if your friends can bother.) It fits your needs pretty well. You don’t need a new social media app.

People should be afraid to post. Erring on the side of less content is better, as the content isn’t all that valuable in the best of times. It might very well be that the best social media is simple private messaging.

Researchers? Seriously? What IP do researchers have? Copyright reform is not “defunding copyright.” It’s a reform. It wouldn’t hurt individuals, unless they are super successful, and even then, not that much. And it helps everyone have high

No one has a duty to fight for your political ideology. What you’re proposing is called fundamentalism. It’s what inspires terrorists. Reminds me of forcing people to cry in funerals of dictators, honestly. Pure bullying, hiding behind a fa

A monopoly of its social network. Its technology is not trivial at that scale either, and makes entering the market very expensive.

Showdead is useful. There are so few dead posts that not turning it on is foolish, at least game theoretically if not pragmatically.
