Question: Would I regret switching from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to Debian Bullseye 11.X (and would I have to use Debian 10 to use an LTS version [0])? How many creature comforts does Ubuntu add onto the Debian base? Just based on the vibe I get fr

Canonical makes infrastructure that I (and a significant slice of the world economy) depend on. If they want to significantly bias their application pool to people who are willing to tolerate that question, then I'm a bit concerned tha

I bet that it enabled miners to get back to mining quicker, as they didn't have to bring in a replacement canary to check if the air was safe yet. So I bet that's the financial justification for the expense.

I don't think this is a complicated moral issue, and it takes some really sloppy thinking to see any ambiguity here. Defrauding individual people out of their savings is bad, even if the victims live in an expensive country that's

Conda should have set the default for channel_priority to strict a while ago, it significantly reduces the search space [0], and it reduces the chances of the solver finding a poorly-specified-yet-nominally-compatible package build on some

It's really not possible to dispute that the Supreme Court just tells police what magic words they need to include in their reports to make unconstitutional searches constitutional. In Terry v Ohio [0], a plainclothes policeman saw thr

Even if that was his point, it's wrong. Breyer (interestingly, Breyer was mugged and robbed at least twice) and Ginsburg often sided with the conservatives in voting to invade our privacy, but Kagan and Sotomayor are pretty reliable de

1. Yeah. Scalia wrote the opinion, and every other Justice signed onto it. Scalia is not some unique iconoclastic privacy loving Justice, he was in line with the way the court thinks about the 4A. 2a. Imagine a police officer falsely allege

Scalia wrote a few pro privacy decisions, but Scalia is in no way the "defender of the 4th amendment", hagiographic obituaries notwithstanding. In his Whren v US decision [0], Scalia gave police the power to stop and search any dr

Imagine you have a largish property (say 5 acres) and you had a greenhouse that was not visible from any adjacent public land, and police suspect you're growing some marijuana in that greenhouse. Would it be unreasonable for cops to ge

In my experience, HR may act kind, but they are 100% aligned with the company and not you. Giving them a signal that you're open to leaving at a time when they're trying to reduce the cost of resources that are human is a terrible

I don't think that's exactly right. I think everyone wants the economy to do well, but most people's ability to gauge the economy is very limited, so they defer to other information sources to tell them how the economy is doi
