Love it!

Because I work on MacOS and I will certainly not reboot my computer just to play a f*cking game?

Lonely adults.

I use BetterTouchTool to map three-finger-swipes to the respective keyboard commands:

- Swipe left to focus the column on the right, swipe right to focus the column on the left (reading it, it seems counter-intuitive but doing it is almost perfect).

- Swipe up and down to slurp in/out.

Even Linus gets it wrong from time to time. And here he is absolutely wrong.

You implicitly assume that one man can only have a relationship with one woman at the same time (or vice versa). If you drop that assumption (because it's BS), your reasoning just collapses.

Emacs is a lisp refugee in Unixland. It does not follow the Unix philosophy, it follows the Lisp philosophy. But it integrates.

I tried to convince it that powdered soup will cause the downfall of civilisation. It didn't call me a zealot but didn't really believe me either.

No, this is pure, fabricated nonsense. People involved in those projects, e.g. Miguel de Icaza, have told you numerous times, as have a lot of users who lived through that time.

Yes, of course, as "evil" is a concept of human thought.

Because they don't want it to be true and will come up with any argument, no matter how stupid, to counter this observation.

> They made it clear after the fact that this was done because there wasn't an adequate supply of masks for 330M people, and they needed to secure a supply for first responders.

That's still lying. They gave you, the individual, false information, and not for your own good. Quite the contrary, that misinformation would actually harm you if you believed it.

Do you really not see how destructive this was? Do you really expect people to not only forgive but most importantly forget this lie, just because they "made it clear after the fact"? How were you supposed to know they're not lying, again, about the vaccines and their safety?

I'm no American but it was the exactly the same here in Germany, with exactly the same consequences. It really baffles me when now government officials whine about people not trusting them, anymore.

You mean, let some dumber guys do the dying?

You're in a hole, stop digging!

Absence of evidence is evidence of absence. The correct saying is: Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

I'm usually very good at detecting irony, tongue-in-cheek and similar "humorous tones". I see nothing indicating it here.

How did you come to the conclusion that religion works at all?

It obviously isn't too short to leave a mean comment

The answer is a family of simple heuristics like the "Golden Rule", "tit-for-tat" etc.

> There's an argument to me made that the age/popularity of a belief system does correlate with validity, given that their individual memes are subject to Darwinism.

Absolutely not, because the fitness, in an evolutionary sense, of those memes does not correlate with their truthfulness but with how easy they are to believe because they appeal to our fears, hopes and dreams.

Take that "life after death" trope. The hard truth is that there isn't any, when you die, everything that made up "you" will be gone for good. But no religion based on that truth would ever thrive because the thought is just too scary and bleak.

Oh cut the crap, religious stories are fairytales and everyone knows it. And religious "truths" are either trivialities or simply not true at all.

> Biblical lifespans seem nice, but only if you wholly believe the stories. Given how often the same stories come up across different civilisations, I'm sceptical they're accurate.

WTF? "Skeptical", probably not "accurate"?

You have to be absolutely nuts to think that they're even remotely true.

If you value your data, you use ZFS.

There are no royal "titles" in germany, just people with a strange surname. Calling that dude a prince or his name a title is just wrong.

A mouse from 1985 did not feel that much different from one today. Sure, they all had cables, you had to clean them regularely and use a proper mouse pad. But then they were very much as precise as they are today. The last real innovation was the scroll wheel.

Just use both. A globally unique but static "error code" to google plus a serial number of that distinct instance of the failure.

You obviously don't know the german job market at all. First of all, nobody cares what University you went to because they're more or less all the same. Second, for a normal tech job, it is very uncommon to have more then one, maybe two interviews.

If you just want a job to pay the bills, it's really like that at the moment: You have a pulse and you can write code, you get hired.

Sounds like russian propaganda.

> mtime is one of the inode fields, so whenever mtime changes, ctime also changes

Not in my experience.

You obviously did not even look at this project because that's exactly what they're aiming at.
