That $140B is a very concrete number with documentation to back up all 7279 line items in great detail. Nearly 1000x more than this $200M Cybertruck inventory. So yes, peanuts compared to the waste and fraud they've found. Your somewha

It would be peanuts compared to the waste they've found.

It's definitely fatter than Arch because packages tend to be more coupled.

It's also better in just about every way I can think of, except maturity.

The trick is to just make everything hard to use, then it's not easy to misuse.

Firefox is the way. Chrome may as well be Edge.

In my experience, the average Trump voter is far more accepting than the average leftist, who will refuse to even engage with you if you think differently than they do.

I was impressed with the El Salvador prisons. All of the prisoners are given incentive to shorten their sentences by working in various production operations, like sewing clothing, farming food, etc... they have classes to teach them var

I run Fedora these days. Ubuntu is the worst.

Yocto feels like a ball of mud duct taped together, but thankfully has good documentation. It reminds me of CMake. Buildroot is nice for relatively simple situations. Nixos is arguably better than both.

The way I see it is our government is being rescued from the tyranny of unelected bureaucrats with near zero accountability. And now that Trump has appointed someone to take a close look at everything and make recommendations for improvemen

I have a math brain as well. But I also have 5 kids, and despite my teaching them very similarly, one of those kids cannot do math at all, another is average, and the remaining three are brilliant at it.

Yes, C++ developers seem particularly prone to adding unnecessary complexity. I'm not sure why that is, but they feel compelled to only program the most generic, ultra flexible solutions, even though it'll likely only every get u

Those things certainly help, but as someone who actively maintains a lot of C++, I'll stand by my claim that even with those added tools, Rust is a very large upgrade in both productivity and correctness. I'm not claiming all C++

> Moving from C++ to Rust is a sideways move. In what sense? Features or complexity? From a productivity/correctness perspective, Rust is a huge step up over C++.

This flies in the face of circadean rhythm research. I know the human body is extremely adaptable, but imagine making every single day a jet-lagged day. My younger self may have been able to tolerate it well enough, but there's no wa

Having/raising kids has been the most rewarding and challenging experience of my life. I cannot imagine how meaningless life would be to have all the money in the world and no kids.

There is definite friction between Nix and Rust dependency management. Nix wants all dependencies to be a Nix package, but Rust wants Cargo to dynamically manage all dependencies. It seems like the same sort of problem. Or am I missing s

My complaints with Lua are mostly superficial, but they irk me nonetheless. So if I have to use it, I'll usually opt for Fennel.

Freedom of Speech seems to have very minimal consideration in this index, despite it being what I would consider the most foundational freedom of all.

This rings true for me. I have an autistic daughter and I'm not nearly as severe as she is. But social interactions stress me out, even though I enjoy interacting with people when I have the energy for it. Add to that my sensitivities

For a language that touts its practicalities, the name isn't a great start. Although F*lang or F***lang (maybe Foq?) seem like reasonable search proxies.

Forget global warming, I want EVs to help air quality in my area. The silver lining of Covid was we had the cleanest air I have ever seen for a week or two when everyone was holed up in their homes and nobody was driving cars.

I think this CoC nonsense makes me far less likely to contribute to the kernel. CoC's should be nothing more than "Don't be a jerk, and keep it constructive". Kent's interaction in that one instance was jerk-ish for
