I'm getting various numbers from different sources on this. Some sources claim 70% of the US population are vaccinated, some say as high as 81%. Whichever it is, it was a minority of people that had the ability to opt out. I suspect a

Yes, I'm aware of mRNA and its history. I'm also aware of Moderna and the purpose of their existence. The covid vaccine was the first approved and widely deployed mRNA vaccine, and R&D is a far cry from injecting such a subst

Not sure how that was your conclusion. To be clear: I'm a fan of vaccines. I'm not a fan of a rushed experimental vaccine forced on a populace through government and corporate tyranny.

Notably, they said "the science" which has nothing to do with science. "The science", as I've seen it used, is almost always an appeal to authority and has very little to do with the scientific method. So maybe thei

That's disappointing. I thought it was a proper stylesheet update for a second. I've been using this[1] user stylesheet for a while now. See the github repo[2] for the amount of insanity required to make this work (it breaks every

There's probably a number of things that could improve the situation. Mindlessly throwing money and government at a problem almost never improves things. Which government bureaucracy decides how much Lasse Collin should be paid? Based

Okay, sure, but rather than trying to solve a problem by throwing money at it (or worse, trying to solve it with government intervention), maybe it's better to think of other mitigations. For example, maybe developers need to be made a

I'm not sure why people keep misidentifying the problem as "lack of funding". Lasse Collin was doing fine as a maintainer up until Jia Tan showed up. He was psy-op'd into believing there was a crowd of angry people eager

Nowhere, and I criticize it every time. I've even gone to the lengths of trying to find DKIM keys for published emails in the past[1]. But at least those emails were un-redacted. To spell that out for you: in a highly-charged, highly-c

OpenAI might think they're winning a PR battle by shaping a narrative here, but they are now locked into this narrative, possibly to their detriment in court. Just seems like a bad idea. I find it odd that their lawyers wouldn't s

I find it very strange that OpenAI would post this in the middle of a lawsuit. Shouldn't all of these emails come out in discovery anyway? Publishing this only benefits OpenAI if they're betting on the case never reaching discover

No worries. I managed to whip something up: autocmd BufWinEnter * match ErrorMsg /[\xa0\u1680\u2000-\u200a\u202f\u205f\u3000]/

Do you maintain any C projects? Personally, I tried using zig for its build system (which can also compile C and whose build files are written in zig). One of the benefits of this was easy cross-compilation to all major platforms. It might

That's not the definition of censorship. Censorship is the suppression of information by any authority who has the ability to suppress said information. The definition doesn't require a government or any aspect of coercion. If I r

Just an interesting aside: returning structs directly (e.g. `struct foo bar();`) was added in V7 UNIX (1979). That said, the convention for it was pretty archaic: behind the scenes PCC used a static return buffer and the caller knew to copy

I'm not sure if you intentionally missed my point. Everything in C requires careful usage. VLAs aren't special: they're just yet another feature which must be used carefully, if used at all. Personally, I don't use them,

You shouldn't be writing C if you're not a careful coder.

Again, Gramsci and later followers of Gramsci advocated infiltrating cultural institutions and establishing a counter-hegemony to subvert the existing cultural hegemony. That should be enough to satisfy anyone's definition of cultural

Antonio Gramsci asserted that the reason Marx's predictions of late-stage capitalism never came to fruition was due to cultural institutions propping up capitalism. He states very clearly that the (new) objective of marxism should be t
