Q: I just installed a new version of Linux, how do I re-enable hibernate? A: Google "linux hibernate", read an article from ArchLinux wiki and several forum posts, decide which one to follow (because they'll talk about severa

Sounds like you're describing how English speakers treat Japanese loanwords, which sounds more relevant to the identity of English rather than Japanese. From what I've heard, the Japanese has no qualms about importing English word

When an entire nation has bought on the idea that X is desirable, lobbyists can only go so far: you might as well ask why American factory owners don't lobby against Thanksgiving breaks. Another complication is that subway stations rel

I'm not sure it's me who's doing the strawman. In many situations (in the real world), machines are expensive, they don't like stopping, and workers are relatively cheap. You can either meticulously plan your factory s

Heh, if you believe your most ruthless cartoon capitalist would stop the line for a whole day just because a worker bee died, you haven't met actual ruthless capitalists.

Do you mean "git clone"? I thought the idea about git is that you always take the code into your local machine before doing anything. Sure, github gives some bells and whistles to obviate the need from time to time, but that&#

That's an odd take: where I grew up (Korea), everybody loves subway stations, and "I'll bring in more subway stations!" is a reliable way for politicians to buy more votes. Everywhere, including the most expensive distr

Are you being sarcastic here? Regarding Covid, America did go through "Let each individual choose their own best remedy if they're willing to take the risk," and we all know how that worked out.

It's less about being the dominant language and more about sharing the same writing system (the Latin alphabet) with most of the world. So, however a Vietnamese name is written, since it's already in Latin characters, the charact

Well, yes, but it basically means the core is wrapped in a heat-producing blanket (the rest of the Earth), so we can say that the fissile materials on the outer parts of the Earth does keep the core stay warm.

California has its problems (and some of its problems seem quite deep), but when these predictable discussions mention CA's sky-high rent, how it's not worth it, and then extrapolate and predict the doom of the state, I can't

I wish you well, but it sounds a bit like generalizing some SF-specific problems to the whole CA. I live in a boring suburb in the East Bay, where commute is horrible, but there's zero human feces on pavement, no homeless tents, and m

Lol, I hope your future friends don't have a habit of running away... It's probably not going to work by first finding out a potentially useful person. What I mean is: when you meet people who share a common interest, don't

Networking is likely more important than you think. It's not about getting an unfair advantage; it's more like getting an opportunity to show what you're capable of.

The ending of the original Foundation trilogy was absolutely top-notch, down to the final reveal. Too bad the sequels kinda ruined it (for me).

I don't think Horcruxes count - it's introduced way later in the series where we're already very deeply invested in all the characters, and instead of disappearing, it becomes the center of the attention for the rest of the s

The main reason the California system is a disaster is that long-time owners are grandfathered and pay very little tax, meaning there's no incentive for these people to support more housing. In other words, if California actually did k

Hmm, if you have been working for 20 years and you're at FAANG making $350k/yr, how come you aren't close to financial independence? Sure, the bay area is expensive, but not that expensive. Have you joined your current co

Probably because "debt to GDP ratio" is a made-up measure and it's totally unclear that it actually indicates something. Only two things seem obvious to me: (1) There is no hard limit to how much dollars the government can i

Minutes are problematic for a different reason, but hours would work. I think 110 minutes can count as either "handu" hour or "duse" hour - after all they aren't supposed to be exact measures. (The reason minutes d

Fluid mechanics might actually be a good analogy. We know that fluid mechanics happens, and it's entirely made of already known physical interactions, yet the phenomenon is so complicated that it deserves to be its own field of study.
