Uhh. The ARM-based M1 Mac mini is literally sold at Best Buy for under $700. It will run circles around any desktop PC within the same price range. And yes, the Raspberry Pi 4/400 is perfectly usable for general desktop computing for

Non-productive work will always be looked down upon and shaming people for being wasteful with resources is an absolutely correct attitude. Crypto-bros are just the next generation of the emptiness of finance-bros pre Bitcoin -- but somehow

Yep, because it must be racism… Not because of an adversarial nuclear power is invading a country that has been making inroads to join NATO and the EU and other western systems. Not because of the similarities to appeasement of hitler, or t

Bullshit. Putin has stated he wants to reunite former Soviet states. Ukraine becoming more democratic and wanting to join western systems like the EU and NATO make that impossible for Putin. Putin cannot afford a large successful Slavic dem

No. The only dangerous nuclear power here is Russia. And no, it would not have been no less dangerous than a Chernobyl. This plant does not have the design flaws of Chernobyl.

It's fundamentally running the guest OS as a process under a Windows Kernel/OS. It's fundamentally not a *nix environment.

I struggle to even comprehend Windows 11 and WSL2 as the "best nix environment" as they are by definition not a nix environment, as Windows 11 is the base OS. I guess if all you do is web dev work and can live entirely in docker

TL;DR: "You can’t power a whole grid with solar and wind, because the sun and the wind are inconstant, and currently existing batteries aren’t even cheap enough to store large quantities of electricity overnight, much less across whole

Memorandums are internationally treaties. The term has a different meaning in that context. You’re right though, it doesn’t spell out any mutual defense statements.

Wombs are fundamentally more valuable to society and always will be. You can recover from casualty losses in a generation if you protect your ability to create more humans by securing wombs. This is just reality, and reality is unfair.

You're right, the chart is showing OS releases not precise iPhone releases. It still closer to 7-8 years for the 5S of OS/security updates (just because a new OS version came out doesn't mean security updates stopped complete

Uhg. The GSuite/Free thing pretty much is forcing a great reckoning between myself and google. I am completely de-googling my life as I don't trust them not to break infrastructure I rely on. This is somehow worse than their mis

> Engineers still have good reasons, as Apple's App Store limitations pretty much just hamper tools power users could want. (e.g. Termux, Tasker, etc) Yeah, this isn't even most engineers I know, but its a legitimate argument.

Weirdly, I feel like there's an Anti-Apple stigma by engineering types in my circles. There's 2 main Android users in my circles: Engineers under 50 and people over 50 that hate or dislike Apple. Engineers that have to use Solidwo

Do you even know what myocarditis is? Do you understand that even young people are 100 times more likely to suffer from CoViD-19 induced myocarditis than from the vaccine? Here’s a Nature article explaining the risks of it: https:/&#x

I don’t think you understand statistics, herd immunity, viral reservoirs, how comorbidities work, or genetic mutation of viruses. It makes no sense to not get a free vaccine that is now the safest most tested medication in human history tha

I don't think you understood what I said. Being vaccinated results in those outcomes. Not your lockdowns. Your lockdowns only resulted in 50% less deaths than our mismanagement. You're right, we shouldn't be inconvenienced b

The paper considers normalized/averaged single event exposure for their analysis and compares it to continuous exposure of other drugs and vaccines to make their case. It's embarrassingly flawed analysis.

As of the latest data in the US for vaccinated people re: Omicron: You're 13x less likely to land in the hospital. You're 45x less likely to die. It's gone from being 10-20x more deadly than the flu to half as deadly with the
