Just to say more directly say what someone else said: this is ahistorical. What you're talking about, Windows UAC, is a relatively recent innovation in the Windows world, first introduced with Windows Vista. Obsession (maybe well-place

You have a pay a premium for that next-day, on-site warranty. But it's worth it.

I agree, but one friendly nit-pick: capitalized "Anonymous" is the hacktivist thing, and lower-case "anonymous" is the ordinary adjective. People acting as Anonymous are also anonymous, but not everyone acting anonymousl

It is really going to be a farce when the same jurisdictions that so zealously enforced the lockdown against churches, the same governors that threatened and said vitriolic things about small anti-lockdown protests, now refuse to enforce th

You're talking about this US military policy like it wasn't just another panicked reaction at the height of the crisis. The vast vast vast majority of young people with coronavirus don't have any of those long-term side-effec

The chance of a college kid dying from coronavirus is exceedingly small. If they aren't sick in some special way (severe diabetes, HIV), then why are we even worried? Isn't this just an easy way to let the virus pass through a hu

Humor is powerful, which is why people want to control what you are allowed to laugh at.

A funeral, attended by many people, is rather different than a drive and walk through nature with the people you live with. Anyhow, the hypocrisy angle makes sense. Two strikes for everyone involved: one for coming up with the stupid rule

Driving around was one of the ways I kept my sanity through all this. I'm sorry your government came up with such stupid rules.

I'd be contemptuous of such stupid rules too. How is going for a walk outdoors a problem? Why is it relevant how far he drove to get there? I can't help but think that the Brits have taken the scolding aspect of this lockdown way

The GNU tools are not fully compatible with the Windows ABI and they don't support some important Windows features. There are great reasons to use the GNU tools, like compiling unix programs that do not otherwise target Windows. But y

I set x=0 to get all of the alerts. I also found that the text notifications are more reliable than the app-based notifications.

I'd rather they update all of my merchants instead of assume that I want to cancel this or that. Citi has a nice feature that shows you all of your recurring charges. Maybe try to use a feature like that? I also have it set up to send

I'm amused at all the highly-paid software engineers in this thread who legitimately feel entitled to their Silicon Valley pay-scale. The only reason you make more than the fellow laying your tile is because of supply and demand, not b

Your mental model is all wrong. There's no moral calculus being used to determine how much you earn. If you want to think like that, then you'd have a hard time justifying differences in pay for different lines of work, especially

It's just supply and demand. The willingness of a worker to supply labor at a certain price (i.e. salary) is, for normal human beings, going to vary with his cost of living.

I’ve had this same issue with a different laptop. On my machine, any change in WiFi network or Bluetooth device availability would cause the laptop to spin up, prevent sleep, and drain battery. One trick is to turn off connected standby an

Given that the main use case is stuff like running machine learning tools, the only people directly targeting DX12 on WSL will probably be framework/library developers, who might want to add DX12 as one of the graphics systems they sup

You can debug a normal kernel over the network. I imagine you can do the same with a unikernel.

For it to be informative, you need to provide the adequate context that explains it. "New evidence shows that coronavirus can cause long term breathing problems" suggests that this is something unique or unexpected about this, wh

The "experts" get it wrong all the time. They have the same dysfunctions as any other community of people, including orthodoxies, group think, and other defects to their capacity to solve problems.

A python dependency is unfortunately out of the question for me, but that is a really cool project.

Does anyone know of something like this for Windows? Would be nice to build a small UI around some powershell scripts I have, without having to resort to a full WinForms application.

Maybe I'm imagining it, but I've noticed that it's difficult to find user-generated current-events content on Youtube. The search results are dominated, artificially it feels, by clips from the major broadcasters and news ag
