For me WSL has completely replaced dual booting setups. There are still some quirks with integration such as certificates and more. I really can’t wait for the GPU experience to be fully supported and also be able to use pytorch from within

I make the same observation as other people have made. These types of laws are being passed with increasing intensity and scope in most western countries. They seem to follow the same idea. Purportedly they are being passed to stop crime or

As Trump himself stated: intuitively you want to leave. But it’s all subject to an analysis of consequences. Something this administration completely blundered. US still has forces and bases in Okinawa, South Korea and Germany etc. The scal

Regardless of the downvotes I’ve received I think it’s pretty clear now after the fact that the withdrawal is a complete mess and failure. Once you go in - you at least have a responsibility for the manner in which you get out. In particula

The Biden administration doing this so haphazardly is irresponsible and with little to no reward - political or anything else. Moving away from US centric debates on the economic value of this war and attempt at governance; I fear Afghanist

Certainly evidence of climate change. The man-made part is of course not demonstrated in this piece though. I rather don’t like the condescending attitude but will at least applaud the use of the word “skeptic” rather than “denier”; the lat

And who is to judge what information is “misleading”? Google staff? I am glad I no longer use Google Drive for anything serious but I am terrified at the prospect of additional services going this way. In the end we will have to migrate bac

F# has grown a lot, and ha already been around for quite some time now. So long as Microsoft makes sure F# is 100% supported in jupyter I see myself using it more and more to replace Python. One huge item missing is a data frame library tho

You are trying to rationalize the usage of “black” and “white” while simultaneously seeming to agree with my point. I would say this to you: if you believe a diverse set of skills, experience and personality are important (I believe they ca

Very true. It is a vague and meaningless concept. It has never been defined except by referring to antiquated notions of “race” stemming primarily from 18th and 19th century ideas. In modern times, we’ve apparently added biological sex, sex

Usually I am very skeptical of "soft" subjects like the humanities; but clearly this is unethical research. In addition to wasting people's time, you are potentially messing with software that runs the world.

Yes, other platforms have targeted freedom of expression as well. In the same situation, they would receive the same comment.

This award would have made sense when YouTube really took off. Lately YouTube has engaged in unpersoning - deleting people from the social consciousness. Stefan Molyneux and Alex Jones come to mind. Others have their accounts and videos mer

YouTube (and others) appear to have lost the plot. I tend to avoid it and support other platforms to encourage content creators to migrate.

It’s a form of extreme subjectivism that is just not practically feasible in any society. Postmodernism is truly nefarious.

Same in Swedish: Mästare. Magister is also a word used in Sweden for teachers at schools.

I agree that the intense focus on changing names and appearances in general is at best a waste of time. It's a very US/UK-centric discussion. "Master/slave" has no relevance at all in many countries like Sweden wher

I don’t think so. And of course we don’t conduct these surveys. But they are still requested from primarily US clients.

The author is dead. Perhaps you would like to ask authors of books from earlier centuries to modify them so as to not be offensive. Are you serious?

It’s bad enough that the company self-cancels the books. But now we also can’t even have a secondary market for what already exists. People have severely underestimated the influence these woke people have. In my company, we receive forms f

Exactly. In German it’s meister and in Swedish mästare. It has absolutely nothing to do with slavery. Sorry if this offends someone but I think a lot of these newly verboten words nonsense stems from poor education and ignorance in the US.

This has serious implications for any business thinking about hosting their applications on Amazon or other providers. I used to be a big proponent of doing this on AWS or Azure but with these actions there are suddenly real risks to consid

I'm not saying Google, Apple and Amazon have broken the law. If Parler sues them, then the courts can decide that. I'm just expressing why I find this disturbing; as you seem to too. In the long run, the market will solve this pro

I don't support "absolutely" free speech either. A line has to be drawn. I think it should be drawn as narrow as possible. If someone promotes a campaign to hunt down an individual and murder him/her; certainly I wouldn&

Exciting stuff. Congratulations to you for this major release. We need more alternatives and the decentralized approach is certainly interesting.

I’ve said it before: I find this highly disturbing. Especially the sense in which it is coordinated. Amazon, Google and Apple acting together to shut down a platform that has been very clear about its stance on content moderation from the o

This is my conclusion as well. The standards we hold must hold for everyone. But it is becoming hard to deny that the standards seem very conditional on whether you agree with the motives and end goal of the people committing violence or no

While I think Trump is completely in the wrong; He did not tell people to commit their crimes. It is important to maintain a strict standard here. There are many people who speak of the dangers of fascism, but they are not responsible when
