Canada is known for a large amount of high skill immigration that benefits almost everybody. It’s nice having educated people around and we have access to the best food in the world because everyone brings it with them

I used to use freedom. My wife used to say it was short for “freedom from service.” There were a lot of dead zones in the town I lived and it was useless on road trips. Good prices and terms at least

Drozdek is a great intro text, imho. Very clear and concise, I wish he wrote more computer science texts besides on this and one on compression

Ah, the dream of all Canadian companies: get acquired by a bigger American one. I wish there were at least a few more Canadian mega corps to sell to. If it had to be anyone though, glad it’s one of Musks moonshot companies. Uh, not his lite

I think that people’s grievances just need to be addressed, and it’s almost entirely about increasing poverty (with the rest being a matter of blaming somebody for it). Helping people to thrive better with today’s economy would go a long wa

I’ve been reading a lot lately about the world war 1 to World War 2 period and all the civil wars and revolutions. One question I’m trying to figure out is “why communism?” I think the answer is simply that those nations wanted a revolution

My first reaction on reading this is that it sounds expensive and difficult to configure. It also reminds me a little bit of how I understand tor to work - is that accurate at all?

I like the conclusion but I have to dispute it: there is a snowball effect for motivated (and resilient) people. Maybe this shows that most people are not motivated and need a kick in the pants, but if you are clever and you get ahead, you

As a Canadian, I’m always confused at how safe Americans think a gun makes them when in the woods. Guns are not a good defence against many wild animals. Get some bear spray, it is dramatically more effective and will not kill somebody as e

I assumed unix would last, but lately there is the concept where “the cloud is your OS” and I hope that isn’t true. I like Unix. However, I’m wondering just how much of what I type in the future will revolve around cloud apis and tooling in

I love gnome personally. It’s really easy to avoid using the mouse. Linux desktop certainly has problems, but I’m excited how usable it’s been for me the last couple of years for everything but certain games

If I was going to set up an older person who struggles with computers, would you say plasma is decent, or should I stick with cinnamon?

I’ve always been confused about this too. A couple of big open source contributions and the world turns a blind eye to massive privacy invasions

I help a friends dad with his computer sometimes. A few times per year, he brings it to me and says it’s being slow. Every time, it’s windows update bogging his machine down for weeks, since it can’t seem to update on its own without crashi

I’d say it’s too inconvenient atm to be widespread. It takes a whole room away from you and there is a cord tangle. Even with wireless headsets, moving requires teleportation or else a very small play area. Finally, the headsets add weight

I thought the main idea behind it was that it was supposed to be easier to develop for. Are there savings there that make up for the aws costs?

The article doesn’t mention actual boost speeds or what is typical, but the graphic suggests that almost all are within 100MHz of the target 4600MHz. Is that typical of processors? I’m not sure what the consistency standard is
