Totally agree. I'm convinced that the failure of reconstruction explains the current state of US politics, perhaps better than an analysis of the civil war itself. The author mentions that: "Southerners adopted beliefs that justif

Those applications are absolutely not suitable for text editing because they have a tendency to mangle the text encoding and other CR/LF characters. (I generally don't think it's too odd for an OS to ship with a text editor o

China has routinely been opaque, blocking investigations over all sorts of things. I don't like it either but I think it's premature to use it as evidence of malice on China's part.

I was a bit disappointed when I tried using a package in WSL and found that CUDA wasn't supported. It wasn't entirely clear from from the article, but I hope these updates fix that.

MS Employee here, and, on a personal level, I'm absolutely feeling a lack of creativity. Although, I'm not sure it's due to the lack of hallway/water-cooler conversations. I personally feel that I have less time to unco

Everything you said would be true if today's accusations were a pretext for armed conflict, but I don't believe we've reached that level of escalation. Do you? Accordingly, I don't find comparison to prior wars helpful f

I'd ask that we be more thoughtful on this and evaluate separate allegations on their own merits. Why do you think invoking Cheney's statement is relevant to this discussion? As an aside, I'm not sure what's more frustr

We were warned of bad outcomes if precautions weren't taken. Precautions were taken, and the worst outcomes were avoided. This doesn't invalidate the prior warning. I don't want to assume bad intentions on your part but I&#x
