They still have two at large electoral votes, but it’s definitely more proportional.

Biden's speech was just saying that the nomination shouldn't happen during an election. I don't think he ever said it couldn't happen during a lame duck session of the Senate.

Aliases shouldn't be run in non-interactive shells IIRC.

I would bet the president could easily pass a polygraph on even some of the most ridiculous claims (thousands and thousands of people cheering after 9/11[1], etc.) You can pass a polygraph test if you believe your own misinformation.

Nix has `nix build --check` which should do the same thing as `guix challenge`. I think there may be more fine tuned options in challenge though.

Is it possible to get zsh to just open all non executable files with xdg-open?

It looks like you need to set --enable-threads=posix when building GCC.

Note that this kit is using MinGW. That's not necessarily a bad thing but comes with all of the caveats you can read about. I wish the author mentioned it because it should definitely be a choice you make deliberately.

My understanding is that while pthreads don't work, c++11 threads are supported.

I don’t think this is quite supply and demand. The remote worker is already hired and then they move. The value Facebook gets presumably hasn’t changed but they are now paying a different rate. If this were about starting salaries, you might be right.

I don’t think those rationalizations would protect you from a lawsuit. In the US, equal pay for equal work based on gender is the law nowadays.

Without the right to vote, I think it would be hard to get much political will for it. Even if we started out giving it to noncitizens, it would be the first thing cut in budget cuts.

The "equitable exchange" of telemetry is you give anonymized usage data for free, and the developers provide you with a better product based on that data. If you trust the developer, it sounds like a reasonable deal to me. No one is making you use that software.

The biggest issue IIRC is that Bash doesn't play well with Windows. Things like paths are handled different enough to cause lots of breakage. We could rewrite all of the Bash in Perl or Python, which has better cross-platform support, but that's a lot of work.

That said, there have been attempts to get native Windows support:

How does it deal with wildcard rules? I would bet it gets complicated when you start having chained wildcard rules that have also side effects.

-Q shouldn’t give you any better startup time than vanilla emacs.

Is a second vs. a half second much of a difference? I think users start noticing at about 5 seconds.

I've had nothing but problems with 9570. Constantly overheating. It's a good day when I can get even 3 hours of battery life.

He thinks the enlightenment was a bad idea and wants the world to return to feudalism, taking away the rights of Serfs, Jews, etc. This isn't quite Nazism but is pretty close to the beliefs of far-right groups like the neo-Nazis.

Sure but being a good publicist doesn’t mean you’re a good CEO.

He’s not an epidemiologist. He’s not an engineer. He’s a businessman. And by pissing so many people off, he’s definitely not being a good businessman.

I don’t think Jobs was ever as irresponsible as Elon is. At least not publically.

If we kept a common market, and common currency, you would see lots of failed states like we’ve seen with Greece in the EU.

Supposedly lyft’s cost per ride was $0.14:

Definitely not universally supported:

> Now, mail ballots — they cheat. Okay? People cheat. Mail ballots are a very dangerous thing for this country, because they’re cheaters. They go and collect them. They’re fraudulent in many cases.

I don't think partisan politics have anything to do with it - it's just always going to be much easier to decide things behind closed doors. The '94 Republican Revolution didn't really make these things more transparent - just more theatrical.

This was true in the 19th century as well.

I am hoping for my own sanity this is sarcasm :)

Most likely they download some things when you first run the software. This pretty common but usually opaque to the user due to it being in .local or .cache.

Does gig work disqualify you for unemployment?
