Totally, and it's unfortunate. When people talk about diversity in the workplace or whatever, they aren't talking about diversity in foot size. Diversity is invisible. I wish it weren't the case that so many people use race a

And now, in a sort of hilarious turn of events, the latest pulseaudio update wants to install snapd (recommended by pulseaudio's new libsnapd-glib1 dependency). And of course, when someone asked about it, they just got a quiet WONTFIX.

But this is a false dichotomy, because Flatpak is a project controlled by Red Hat. Unless by "community" project you mean AppImages.

by fapjacks 6y ago
Considering that Flatpak was essentially a hostile fork of the AppImage project motivated by Red Hat's insatiable hunger for control, I find it ironic when Flatpak supporters complain about Canonical "doing their own thing".

Okay, it's an issue of semantics for you, then. So picture any number of bureaucratic messes which indirectly cause death and destruction, for example the giant cache of emergency food and water sitting in a hangar at the airport in Ha

That's probably for the best. I bought a laptop with a known-compatible processor, and confidence in my past experience in hardware that I'm not too worried about frying my machine. For someone technical who knows in advance about

I find it amusing you seem to believe that you are capable of adjudicating another person's value judgments as they pertain to their own internal belief structure, and furthermore that you have literally referred to the use of some &

I am not addressing any of these points about either of our own value judgments about life, because they do not address the point I have made, which is that nothing else matters if some particular person interprets the meaning of their li

But you don't get to decide someone's got bad eyesight if they tell you they see something perfectly clearly and you don't. If someone asserts that they see life as devoid of meaning or depth, you don't get to decide the

You could start with the bureaucracy of the Holocaust, perhaps?

On Ubuntu ish systems (not sure about base debians), you can get full KVM support in qemu by installing the "qemu-kvm" package right out the repos and then starting your VMs with the "-enable-kvm" switch. You may also ne

I am currently in the middle of my own Hackintosh build on a fairly compatible laptop. If you are not prepared to blindly execute commands and run applications listed in a few different guides and then hope for the best, and you wish to gro

But then by definition it is also necessarily ("surely") the least "profound" and "magical" thing anyone ever experiences.

Look, I have no horse in this race, but this is clearly a personal attack in the reply above. Regardless, on what basis are you disagreeing with someone's interpretation of life as having no meaning or lacking in depth?
165.
by fapjacks 6y ago
Yes, but the inverse is a polymorphic decision loop operated by committee, which is just another way of describing a bureaucracy. And as bureaucratic complexity increases (via self-modifying policies and processes), the structure naturally

Why? Are you afraid your software is going to wear out on you?

Wow, so what does it look like when you are attacking someone personally?

Sure, find any manufacturer of rapid antibody test kits and look at their documentation for a nice trailhead into plenty of literature about antibody response times with this virus.

Frankly I find Andrew Gelman at least as invested in a particular outcome of this political issue as a hedge fund manager.

That antibody timeline was an estimate derived from data obtained from the "original" SARS virus, but it isn't accurate with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. IgM antibodies are present within hours of the onset of symptoms, and IgG anti

This, the Academia SE, and the Workplace SE are wonderful repositories full of shining examples of how many pedantic, bureaucratic sociopaths walk among us.

Nice use of quotation marks there, considering that is not what I said.

No. Because tin-pot shitholes -- and the people trying to make them -- have, can, and will always find some new "threat" with which to justify taking away civil liberties. Things similar to what you have said here about "nuan

Wow, I envy you! I wish I could express my disappointment by filling a conference room with noxious gas whenever an interviewer puts me in front of a whiteboard. That is seriously like some kind of superpower.

Remember the outcry when Swarm was shipped as part of the core Docker binary? I wouldn't be surprised if this caused some kind of cooldown with respect to the binary assimilating features.

Docker (Inc) has new priorities and different influences. I'm inclined to feel some optimism that this shifting focus will have beneficial repercussions in places like this.

Sure, but you're talking about regulation of the companies, not the management within the companies themselves. I think the parent comment's point stands.
