I'm not sure why you think a portion of the general voting base is "rent seeking", but it's the opinion of one without empathy. pick a better one that's at least not simultaneously stupid.

Anyhow ...

the "political adversaries" (let's not be coy, you mean conservatives) who "don't trust 'the science'" are less equipped to evaluate said "the science" than the scient_ists_ they don't trust. usually said people were one bad day away from rambling about global jewry and such. due to whatever social illnesses or sociopolitical causes, we've normalized this position, and now measles is back from the dead. but let's pretend that climate change isn't real and the earth's flat and vaccines give you autism, because universities too woke or whatever the fuck

(it's very funny to pretend tech is still, or really much ever was, one big libfest. it's funnier to say this here of all places)

they have, v8 is a pretty fast engine and an engineering marvel. bun is faster at cost of having worse jit and less correctness

there are many "immortal" strains of cells that are mass produced and sold to labs, most notably "HeLa" cells. in this case in particular, "iPSCs" cells are used, sourcing skin cells or blood cells (with informed consent of the patient), and using those differentiated (or "specialized") cells to create pluripotent (or "less specialized") cells that can then be transformed into neurons

I'm not sure why people are so deeply scared. these are all pretty neat features for people who will need them (off rip seemingly mostly in the embedded world). It's not like the inclusion of these forces you to use them — I've never had to deal with unsafe rust for shipping web stuff, and I highly doubt I'd have to deal with most of these. For modeling's sake it would be nice to have pattern types and view types, I can see them being useful

I think part of it might be just that for modeling's sake it makes it clear when something can write vs only read the socket

its poetry, the point was probably making the thing

it's actively part of the text that the capitalization is not manually written, but hidden with the CSS `text-transform: lowercase`. kneejerk reaction superiority complex

yeah that's the trade off of having a state. the alternative is getting mugged and having to pay ExxonMobil Police Task Force sponsored by Verizon to get your shit back (or deciding it's not worth the cash).

i would not describe "today's era" as "hyper-regulation". we're actively removing regulation day over day

either you have killer typing speed or your password isnt long enough or your fingerprint scanner is slow

who is "these people"

There's no kind way to interpret "They're pushing agendas, and not hiding it; rather, flaunting it." that isn't deeply hateful of news orgs a whole. Additionally this talk is almost always followed by "I therefore just allow myself to passively hear news through others (which have no biases)" or "I only get my news from hitlers-strongest-soldiers.com" or similar "unbiased" news sources (or maybe just "youtube"/"tiktok"). Deeply conspiratorial thinking and anti-intellectual to think literally everyone is out to get you. I don't think I'm smarter than everyone (which is why I rely on other people to give me the news), but I am at least smarter than this person.

Thank you. I've tried my hand at using obsidian as a life organizer but never stuck it. i'll try to be a lot more intentional about avoiding the phone and integrating reading.

really useful, thank you. already installed intenty!

"everyone is stupid but me" is a bit too prevalent in the tech industry

right, and an ICE agent stopping has little correlation to said ICE agent deporting you. you're surely reasonably intelligent, you can connect the dots

you're not wrong, but for convenience's sake you should probably know that you can hold option and click the green "expand" button to fill the workspace

recently diagnosed ADHD -- any tips on strategies?

yea, it's very suspect. regardless, every idiot who claims to have "found the science" has failed to produce anything beyond studies of n=10 (10 is PUSHING IT).

how would you implement this without going into nazi-like levels of control on the individual? assuming "we have the science".

small agents.md files are worth it, at least for holding some basic information (look at build.md to read how to build, the file structure looks like so), rather than have whatever burn double the amount of tokens searching for whatever anyways.

there are 1000x sponsorblock users per (public, large) youtube channel. there are 1000x slop contributors than (public, large) repo

what tools / processes do you use to manage context

it gets better every day

seriously, what's with people's love of this guy? besides politics, I have not seen anything that suggests engineering prowess from this guy, only "rust bad".

> (I read a tweet some years ago that Gen. Sherman should have mowed the South like a lawn, with multiple passes.)

Nothing validates this view more than looking at the modern republican party. This is especially blasphemous to say after MLK day, who's life was dedicated to attempting the fix the injustices of the south, and who's death is entirely and inarguably a result of the white supremacist views and actions that were perpetuated, emboldened, and exported by the reconstructionist south (not that the north was innocent, far from it, but the majority of the burden inarguably on the south). At minimum the traitors should have been hanged in public view. The desire to be conciliatory has never been less vindicated -- it's not like the south all the sudden decided to adhere to constitution, they had to be forced to anyhow. It's a nice sentiment, but it should have been left at that.

> King vs. Malcolm

Popular history idolizes Dr. King, but without the stick of Malcolm X, King would have been cast aside. Only with both did the movement succeed. An ahistorical false dichotomy. Nonviolence wasn't simply some magic bullet that was magically better than force, it was a political tool that seemed nicer compared to the alternative of force.

> [R]iots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I'm still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and justice. [...] But at the same time, it is as necessary for me to be as vigorous in condemning the conditions which cause persons to feel that they must engage in riotous activities [...]. I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. [...] [A] riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.

> India in relation to nonviolence

The Indian case is arguably one of the best cases for violence against a colonizing force. Ghandi brought eyes of the common people towards India and created internal pressures, and additionally functioned as a unifying figure, but without indian revolutionaries nothing would have happened.
