Genuinely incredible this happened in 2022. Holy shit. Which shitty manager was responsible for this a performance metric at Twitter? Should have been the first on the chopping block.

It's been this way for like at least 6 years now. And it's quite comfy. WSL and Windows gives me everything I could want from a dev machine.

I'd recommend deleting or editing your comment. The actual definition of "gain-of-function" is quite easy to find if you want to take this matter seriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain-of-function_

Are you opposed to any kind of inducing of mutations in viruses in vitro? What specifically are you opposed to?

by beebmam 4y ago
No thanks, I'd rather trust virologists and the people who are doing the actual engineering. I don't trust directors/executives, by definition. They have ZERO idea about nearly anything, other than sounding confident.

This is a point of contention among economists, as the current economic conditions are quite unlike most others seen. US/China decoupling is causing massive shocks across the world. The US Federal Reserve is responding to these economi

It's not THAT hard. The problem is that very few people use alternative keyboard layouts. In proprietary software/hardware, there's just not a lot of incentive to satisfy the needs of small minority of users. In the open sour
