I feel like Elysium is getting more and more inevitable.

A highly inefficient render loop. I've seen people commit absolute crimes rendering text in game engines.

ReactOS periodically rebases some of it's libraries from Wine.

It seems to be missing that tiled red brick.

Long press instead of right click also marks mines.

Those and System76 of course. Plus the SteamDeck is Linux, as are a number of other handheld gaming systems. The new Steam Machine is as well.

I'm actually not sure what you're saying about GIMP. I mean - I understand the frustration, the "button groups" or whatever they did to declutter things made things (imo) worse; I don't think it's a good default.

BUT

I don't actually understand your sentences for the most part. I really had to work to glean what you were talking about.

I'm not trying to be insulting here; sometimes I write in inscrutable ways too. But - could you reword a few things so I know what you're trying to say?

I think it might be that if you don't grow up with something that hijacks you as a kid you don't have the mental equivalent to antibodies.

Old people get captured by new dopamine hits moreso than their younger counterparts.

I'm not sure it does. It seems to last similarly to me when I make my own as long as I make sure to use sterilized containers to make it and such. It isn't as long as margarine which is maybe the comparison? Not sure.

Buy some goats.

The unemployment rate is somewhat useful in aggregate but has a limitation in that it doesn't account for people who have given up seeking employment. Essentially it is a measure of the percentage of the workforce that has a job.

This stat makes a lot of sense for the most part. A stay-at-home parent isn't really unable to find work so shouldn't be counted in unemployment stats (for example).

But sometimes you miss the folk that have become disheartened. I know a few of those folk right now in the tech industry who want to look but just aren't. Our stats miss "mood" in a sense (hard to quantify of course).

But right now the mood is bad.

What does Poland have to do with this?!

The other day in Kansas City some lady set fire to a warehouse that was being sought for purchase by ICE. They are on video and quite nonchalant.

I have an old zen thermostat with home assistant support but no WiFi. They don't make them anymore sadly but it was the perfect balance.

I pre-ordered the Pebble Time 2 and am pretty excited. The open ecosystem means it'll be supported for a long while.

Why are companies hell bent on manifesting literally every episode of Black Mirror?

You trust nearly half??!!??

I've been using Django since the pre 1.0 days since it originated where I live. It's been my goto framework for ages.

Ding ding ding this is the way. Sell at cost. Real cost, like cost of making. NOT a cost that includes R&S amortized across the batch.

Part of the problem is that with habius corpus being ignored we don't know how many people who were successfully deported without incident should have been.

50 bad cases also doesn't really summarize it well. Chainsawing through a fence and going through an entire apartment complex and zip typing kids together after violently breaking in really isn't "one" incident. Every single interaction there is potentially bad. Just because people were later released because they weren't illegal or in a gang or whatever does not justify going into people's private space and detaining them in a scary way, especially without warrants. That stuff is going to frighten and traumatize those kids. Home will no longer feel safe. This incitement of fear is in itself a huge part of the point and part of why it's very very bad.

Man that's dark. True though.

I meant, and probably did not articulate well, that controlling for wealth and then comparing only one type of crime is the problem.

The type of crime is the product of complex factors.

The presence of crime in general is also complex but is exposed by and increased by poverty

As for racism and intent, leaving an area because it's unsafe is one thing. Leaving an unsafe area because you think black people are inferior AND because of safety is another thing entirely.

In the same way, it is one thing to understand historic trauma has negatively impacted a demographic, and another thing to decide that the behavior you're disturbed by is intrinsic is another. That's the reason that discrimination based on a trait a person cannot change (like skin colour) is racist even if you argue it is statistically rational. Judging people individually on criteria of character, ability, etc... is a recipe for better social outcomes overall.

(making two replies to separate topics) ... So as for switching topics... maybe? I meant that the comparison of black people moving from a ghetto isn't a good comparison just because they're literally moving away from a black community. They're not moving away from blackness, they're escaping a physical location tied to all kinds of negative risks.

I think I would call the act racist because what makes it racist is tied to intent. But one could argue otherwise I suppose. That's just my take.

On the topic of crime,no, I don't necessarily disagree there. I'm sure your statistical data is correct.

The way societal traumas manifest is tied to the types of trauma each demographic experienced and experiences (including their own self-perceptions of the ways in which they have been victimizes).

Poverty is often a stressor that squeezes out behavior we tend to identify as criminal, but it just a common factor in exposing the wounds.

Depending on the group in poverty, it may manifest as gun violence, physical violence without guns, domestic violence, theft, stimulant abuse, opiate abuse, and a myriad of other things.

i.e. if your cultural wound is to feel powerless, a gun may make you feel powerful; in charge.

If the wound is anxiety, you might choose to numb out.

Controlling for wealth only gets you so far because it is a single dimension.

Scott Adams didn't move from a ghetto, he moved to get away from black people. The presence of black people does not a ghetto make.

There are though absolutely places with a large black population which have serious crime issues, but you see similar crime rates in impoverished areas that are predominantly white. Calling it a problem in black America makes it seem like a black problem when that is correlative rather than causitive. Poverty is the core.

Historical inertia, past (though fairly recent) laws, etc... are part of a complex story of which the result is poverty among a specific demographic (though not limited to that demographic of course - the extractive mining towns in Appalachian areas created parallel stories of systemic poverty in predominantly white regions).

It takes a long time for societal wounds to heal.

It is?

I am existentially starving AND burned out.

I haven't been lucky enough that startups I got in on early panned out so I don't have the ability to take a sabbatical.

Of course they also took the route of inventing a new 3d api Metal which is at odds with Vulkan. There is HoneyKrisp of course, but if one want's decent gaming on an M1 or M2 laptop, Asahi Linux is actually the superior choice.

I don't think one can call it even close to success when the best way to run AAA games on your hardware is to literally replace the entire operating system which uses cobbled together components like FEX and wine/proton, etc... the fact that that works with more games is insane.

Same! I've been using it since pre-1.0 and love it. I am currently a few blocks away from it's birthplace.

Probably the wrong time or place but I am also on the market literally as of yesterday so if anyone is looking for an experienced Django guy, I'm your man! oldspiceap@gmail.com

There are a lot of cool things about these, one that they are less typo prone and also they are often much faster.

The downside is I find them hard to read.

I think the template approach isn't quite right and yet neither is the functional approach.

At the end of the day these are a type of tree structure; I think we could conjure a new mechanism that gets the best of most/both worlds.
