(K)ubuntu, mint, manjaro, and a few others I don't remember. I went through a whole slew of them and didn't find one that was stable, not even mint. One of the issues is that problems are intermittent and start without any obvious

I'm sorry. I have a late 2013 mbpro too with Linux on it. Frankly, it's terrible. It doesn't sleep. Connecting thunderbolt monitors can only be done before booting. The os has needed to be reinstalled at least once when it ra

The reason people don't trust governments is because of a constant, never-ending stream of lies. They didn't lie once. They hardly ever not lie. This applies to China, the US, and other governments. A more appropriate phrase is &q

This has nothing to do with the parent post which is comparing programmers of different skill levels. You want th compare programmers to non programmers. That's meaningless. Of course programmers can program and non programmers cannot.

The ratio in your case is not only infinite, it's also meaningless. So what if a hypothetical programmer can code while a baby can't? That's an infinite productivity ratio that's just as meaningless.

I thought we were talking about the myth not just slinging personal attacks, but seeing as to how you resort to the latter, I assume you have nothing meaningful to say about the former, let alone an argument against it.

Your 10x developer is still only 2x the average. That's exactly my point.

Of course it's a myth. That would literally mean that a 10x programmer can do in one day what it takes the average programmer two weeks. It's absurd. And we're not talking about the worst of the worst programmers in the myth.

To change this, I think you need to change the culture first. Our culture thinks that once you commit even the tiniest of crimes, your life is no longer worth anything. That's why we do not rehabilitate people and have such long prison

What if I'm using that account to bookmark posts for my research for a book on neo Nazi atrocities? Your argument is absurd. You cannot know any meaning from any number of likes. That's the absurd part. That you think that at some

Yes, exactly. This guy never left the uk, yet he committed a us crime? If China had this power they could extradite almost every single American who watches porn. The real fallacy is believing that laws have reason and logic behind them, th

A lifetime of imprisonment for selling drugs. That's beyond cruel. Meanwhile CEOs are making billions and getting a slap on the wrist, if anything. Ross doesn't deserve this. He's right. Now if he was convicted of murder or s

I think the numbers are likely exaggerated to the point of being almost useless. It all depends on how BMI is measured. If it's not measured, the number are useless. The website says: > There are a number of ways to measure body fat

I just got a 32" 4k curved monitor. Without the curve, I think the head movement would be too much. I had a 40" 4k flat. The head movement was extreme and contributed to my RSI. I downgraded to a 27" Apple thunderbolt first.

I can't speak to your hypothetical coat, but this coat is advertised to literally last many years so you are either arguing that it's fine for the seller to lie or you don't have an argument at all. Also $80 might not be a lo

Sure, but we've been at war now for 19 years or so at least (2001, possibly longer). If the time of war is every single day, then there is no time of war and the government is just using that as an excuse to justify its inhumanity. In

If you're learning Chinese, it'll be much less readable than your native language too. This is simply not an argument at all. Once you get used to it, reading clojure is easy. I'd say it's easier than any other language

I do not know the answer to your question but the way I solve that problem in osx is using quicksilver and triggers. You can give each app or really any quicksilver command a hotkey to switch to it directly or start it and switch if it'

That's ridiculous. Everyone knew opiates were addictive, though quite safe otherwise if administered properly long term. Everyone's known for well over a hundred years about addiction and about opiates for hundreds of years more.

Why should we have to force socialize people in a context of killing others? We force socialize people in plenty of other contexts like 12 years of schooling, most of which is mandatory. That hasn't gotten people to play in a team. Why
