The first sentence of your post is simply not true. Demilitarization does help to reduce police violence [0]. Your points about union contracts and civilian oversight are valid and important to point out though. [0] https://journ

The irony is that Hacker News is literally unsafe to use as it puts users at risk of doxxing by not providing basic privacy functions like post and/or account deletion or even the ability to change your username. I really don’t underst

Thank you for this! Your site might be a good place to signal-boost potential solutions to the problem of police brutality as well. I stumbled across a Twitter thread earlier which has some interesting ideas: https://mobile.twitt

My name consists of four parts and I have a similar experience as your friend. My birth certificate just combines all four names into one string but systems represent me as either having two middle names, two hyphenated last names (which is

Just remember that Arch is a rolling release distribution so the updates you do get will be bleeding edge. I recommend setting up Timeshift and always backing up your system before updating; if you’re using BTRFS it’s instant (although ext4

+1 for DBeaver. It doesn’t have a pretty UI like TablePlus but it’s FOSS, cross platform and has all of the same features (maybe more).

I've moved to Linux for 99% of my computing but still use macOS for some audio production work. Catalina is unusable for me personally (most of the software I need just silently crashes) so I disabled the upgrade prompt: sudo softw

Please make sure any startup you fund doesn’t take a selfish approach to patents and intellectual property. Any progress on fighting Covid-19 needs to be shared with the world and not used as a cynical tool for profit.

This happens to me from time to time! It really is bizarre. I’m hyper attuned to sound, particularly which direction sounds are coming from. When a sound seems to be emitted from within your own head, it creates a disorienting sensation tha

You can actually do a lot with FOSS music production software like Ardour these days, although I’ve been using Ableton for over a decade so it’s unlikely I’ll be taking the time to learn another DAW any time soon. But if you’re interested,

It really is a miracle drug when taken in microdoses (and a complete mind fuck in larger doses) but be careful. If you have any trauma in your past that you’ve pushed down to be dealt with later, psilocybin will dig all of that right back t

This is so fun. A question for you (or anyone else familiar with this topic), what hardware you would recommend for someone just getting into training GPT2 models? Would a Radeon RX 580 be enough?

Thank you for making this, what you’re doing is so important. I was wondering if your site is inclusive toward trans women? I didn’t see any mention of it on your About page so I thought I would ask. Looks great by the way and I’m excited t

There's a certain mythical quality to old technology. The original NeXT Computer was launched the year before I was born and to this day I have yet to come across (in real life) any of the computers produced by NeXT during their eight

Like the author, I’m nostalgic for Macs from that era although I’ve actually had a great time since switching to Linux as my daily driver. Fedora is wonderfully stable and up-to-date and with KDE I can configure my desktop to look and feel

Lifestyle judgments aside, you'll certainly save a lot of money in the long term. Good luck! I'm trying to rein in my affinity for craft beer (I love the beer but hate the empty calories that come with it).

Good luck getting through to Twitter’s useless “support team”. I’ve been locked out of my account for four years and it’s pretty much impossible to get the attention of anyone over there.

No no no. This is exactly the mindset we need to avoid when addressing problems in our justice system. I am sorry but the entrepreneurial / venture capitalist mindset is not suitable here. Private prisons should not exist. Public priso
