IntelliJ IDEA's Powershell support (via plugin¹) is very poor. Both VSCode (predictably) and Atom are superior. It is the one reason why I keep VSCode around. 1. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10249-powersh

Certainly took away from the experience for me. Also the constant clapping was irritating along with the guy going "yes, yess" towards the end. Not enough info, too much "personality" and "team work". Waste of

What is it about that that excites you so much? Is it the idea that life could originate elsewhere and that there might really be aliens? Or is it the idea that Mars could support some sort of colony? Or the hope of completely novel microbi

Katherine Maher is someone that was flagged up recently as what we could call "politically interesting". I wonder if that is why it was deemed time for her to move on: https://thegrayzone.com/2020/06/11&

Apparently OpenSource software contains vulnerabilities exploitable by hackers, but in good news Microsoft can sell you some cloud thing that protects you against it. The hacker must have compromised the company's website through the

Learn to use Powershell. You might not like it if you are a BASH wizard, but it has a large number of modules which ease administration. Even if you manage to spend most of your time in WSL2 and VisualStudio/IntelliJIDEA you will s

Dark skies, peace, quiet. All these make me enjoy being away from conurbations. I especially dislike the lack of darkness in winter.

So you discount the idea that when people have the choice not to have large numbers of children (good healthcare to provide for old age, easily accessible contraception) they prefer to have fewer children? Also, the central premise of the a

Ironically SF were banned from the media in Ireland, but not in the UK. There was a ban that involved a specific wording that was construed to mean that recordings of their voices could not be played. So, IIRC video was played of their spo

Why is it surprising? A lot of Marxist functional description of the capitalist economy is coherent with events if you squint hard enough. If that is accepted then moral choices and personal preferences overlaid ontop lead to several diff

Recipes are an infringement of intellectual property. In order to protect recipe creators we need to make sure that the streaming-recipe platforms are regulated.

Do we even have solid proof that IRA bought the ads? The last I saw it was "a Kremlin-linked company".

there was a Russian influence on an election(which is probably true if not likely in all of our elections for the past 50 years) I think anyone advancing the hard line that Russia has influenced US elections for the last 50 years still ha

This assumes that there is a political spectrum and that all parts of it have equal power. The SWP have miniscule political clout. In general the left (not the liberal center often mislabeled as "left" in the USA) has few instit

If that interests you I highly recommend Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism.

I'm hoping he mentions something about the liberal/russiagate conspiracy theories as the emotional counterbalance to the rightwing/qanon-kenyan theories. Also a discussion of how the current dismissal of all conspiracy theor

It appears to me the one branch of government that has stood up reasonably well recently is the court system. One of the most serious things the court system does is deprive people of their liberty and life. And it is not stellar. You m

You should look into Zotero. Syncs to WebDAV and Git. Enables snagging text, video, pdf, images. Has exporters to common bibliography managers. Really amazing and not tied to any particular operating system( ). Disclaimer: I use it e

I tried to revert from WSL2 to WSL1 and just cannot. I think it is due to Windows Defender which I cannot disable due to a corporate GPO. I gave up and just use both Cygwin and a VMWare image again.

All rights are meaningless in practice if you are willing to rollover and ignore them. The good news is that there are other people that are willing to exercize those rights: e.g. Bay Area Transparency https://www.youtube.com&#x2
