Since make does not sanitize input or handle error, I use it only for parallelism/dependency management and offload all build to shell scripts. I've found this to be way more maintainable.

Higher price on lower end housing, but that incentivises building more lower end housing (since higher end housing is more elastic and won't have as big of a markup). EDIT: actually, thinking more about this I don't think lower en

One of the direct consequences of UBI is inflation IMO. Of course things are going to be more expensive if we give everyone money. That doesn't mean poor people won't be better off. If your food costs 20% more but you have 200% th

I highly doubt opposing giving people more freedom because you think society is in a bad shape (why? social media? I don't think this is as big an issue as you make it seem) is either morally right or useful. Clearly things could be be

I think you're being disingenuous, I don't use my lawn to distribute other people's apps/signs, it's not its purpose, and I don't advertise it as such. Also: >FDroid is a small enough platform that they shou

But my lawn is not a platform. And even then, FDroid is a small enough platform that they should be allowed to do whatever they want. But then it's OK to point out the perceived hypocrisy in having a free software platform that censors

I don't doubt they have their own morals, but these same people say they hold free speech as moral. The whole point of free speech is to allow for speech you find reprehensible. If not, what's the point?

This is highly dependent on where you are. I had similar experience with ride sharing apps of drivers straight up scamming me driving around. Uber are concentrated on where it's popular. Good luck finding one if you are in the suburbs,

I don't think it's quite that. IMO from knowing some anti-vaxx it originates from a rebellion against power more-so than any actual belief in conspiracy. It seems to come from being fed up with being told what to do AND from distr

Depends on how much salary appreciates elsewhere. It's quite significant compared to ny and texas (1.1% up + 0.3% down). Salary is comparative by nature. If your worth increases less than someone similar, then it decreased.

Reproducibility is not the only issue they're facing. I think the mentality extends to more than just fixing linker issues, e.g. this https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9656 At the end of the day, I
