- The oil that they include is definitely a type of preservative

You seem really hung up on the preservatives thing and I was giving the benefit of the doubt, but now it is just disingenuous. If oil of all things in a competitors product as a preservative then I think the tremendous amount of salt in your product qualifies as well.

Debouncing shouldn’t add any latency. If a mechanical keyboard sold at a price premium adds latency for “denouncing” someone got ripped off.

Op clarified it was a Cessna 421, so indeed pressurized. When these are ferried they put fuel tanks inside the cabin (these are called ferry tanks unsurprisingly), so they were indeed within arms reach.

My field of endeavor involves running non-free software. So which is it? Is it non-discrimatory or am I doing something against the creators wishes?

> The GNU/Linux operating system was built long before open source was a thing.

Please find someone that worked in the field during the 70s. They hopefully will kindly re-educate you on this BS.

Also if you’re talking about the OSI of the late 90s I’d argue that gnu/Linux was not long before that. Those initiatives pretty much grew together.

I’ll be the last to defend amazon but there are people that abuse the lax return policy (there are plenty of guides on the web of how best to do this) and it is unsurprising that amazon will address it.

Not that I feel sorry for them in anyway. Their stock mixing is basically fraud. The only thing that is more maddening are the corporate submissive boneheads that rise to the defense of the prime service whenever someone has a legitimate complaint.

Rusty Russell and Linus had a long working relationship at that point and Rusty was quite amused by that line. He quoted it in the talk he gave on futexes.

Not so much

If you knew one whit about what you’re talking about you’d feel pretty silly about this comment.

What is not explicit about that statement? The evaluation of the variable is well defined in a Boolean context.

If you have to write “== true” everytime that’s your own idiosyncratic hangup. It has nothing to do with explicitness, it’s just redundant. The true test was explicit the moment you wrote if (

You haven’t read K&R C I’m going to guess. Terseness is a traditional component of C and UNIX (cf creat). I don’t care to debate the merits but that is a fact. Most C books in the 80s were written in this style. Furthermore in the days or micros code was generally terse for many and varied reasons. There were people typing code on membrane keyboards.

> JS does everything in its power to make life hard for the compiler.

This is a bit hyperbole. It could be worse, it could be python. Yes pypy does not have the investment of v8, but there is more to it than that. Yes js sucks but the language was relatively simple enough to get speedups that would not be possible in jitted python because frankly python is a steaming hodge lodge pile of shit when you take the system as whole (imnsho)

What the heck are you talking about? If dockerd is started in tcp mode, it is unencrypted and unauthenticated by default.

What is with your agenda to not pin blame on the cops?

It was pretty much 99% law enforcements fault with a tiny bit the kids fault. If someone across state lines can call in a hoax and get someone killed then sorry but it’s pretty much on the LEA idiots.

Yes there are some idiots that dismissed the tomasetti and vogelsteinn paper due to it conflicting with their worldview, but they only got momentum because the original paper really was crap from even a critical scientific POV. What’s very ironic is that the problems with the paper seem to be the same things you’re bitching about in your post. No one smart is criticizing the paper for the “common sense” part, but because they actually tried to quantify it and their method was quite flawed.

There are plenty of substitutes for things that may feel good but are ultimately useless.

Ie you have to use qt designer as you ide or switch between IntelliJ/pycharm. It’s not ideal as IntelliJ is miles ahead of qt designer as a general purpose ide for python. I’m pretty spoiled at this point by the excellent refactorings and type support.

There’s no debate. I use ad supported services (like Facebook) and I block ads. End of story. If these services go away because of some ad revenue problem (unlikely) I just don’t care. Right now there is no ad supported service that I believe I would pay anything for other than google search itself. I don’t have to right now so the issue is moot. I had a pretty rich life before Facebook and MySpace, somehow I’ll survive and I think I speak for a sizable chunk of people. Some people might value fb enough to pay for it like compuserve in the 80s. Good on them.

I can possibly see how these issues might matter to you if you make a living at google or a large content company, but I, like the vast majority of people do not. It is not my concern. I don’t get why this is so hard to understand.

> Everyone already had enough space there anyway

Lol my 100mb before the uni (National top 30 research) switched to gmail was definitely plenty of space. And google should have just hired the $7/hr freshman that configured spamassassin instead of wasting all that money on Postini. You’re funny; don’t quit your day job though.

Microsoft pretty much had an anti internet strategic policy until 1995, that’s why. Back in the day a tcpip stack was a third party add on.

You’ve gotta mean hardware. There is no way that arm chip could do h265 at any useful speed. The amlogic in the c2 can do hardware h265 (not hdr) and it works with Kodi. I use one this way and have been overall pleased with it though especially since I didn’t buy the board for this in the first place. It was a repurpose. I would only get something with 10 bit these days if media is the primary concern.

It’s not too bad I think, it’s just an evolution really. You can probably grok the basics of the type annotations in a short sit down. I can’t even remember when decorators were introduced but that even more greatly changed how python was written. I’ve been using python since 1.6 and I always thought the amount of repetition was ridiculous. I bet I’m not the only one that has written a “dsl” of what attrs and this pep does 1000 times using the facilities python had at the time: metaclasses, then decorators. Of course all these implementations were rushed, half assed and barely production quality. Despite any warts attrs is a pleasure to use. Type annotations boost IntelliJ/pycharm already quite clever assistance. One lingering thing is attrs named_attrs that while syntactically the best approach in my mind doesn’t work well with IntelliJ. So hopefully this will address it.

The ego argument doesn’t make me skeptical of the leakers, why would it. It sounds like a plausible explanation. What is a better explanation that accounts for the tremendous downside?
