It doesn't really matter at all, frankly. The workplace is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship. Whether you view the workers as nuanced complex moral human beings or just cogs doesn't change the impact the companies have on the world.
Who wants to rent? I imagine most would opt to own instead. Rent is certainly far higher than a mortgage would be, which makes little sense if you're trying to encourage ownership (as often is the story about the american dream)
> Each Tesla is connected to an account and therefore a person.
Why do people put up with this? Seems absolutely insane to connect a car's functionality to the internet, aside maybe from remote start. Where are the legislators? Where are the regulatory bodies?
> providing the kernel interface through stable syscalls is actually the super power of Linux
I thought that it was drivers? Linux isn't particularly unique for having a stable abi (and the utility of such a decision is highly questionable). The driver support however is extraordinary and undeniable.
> Once again the EFF is proving that they'll stand behind their principles and defend freedom even for those they disagree with. They are one of the few remaining organizations that I feel I can support without reservation.
I find this attitude very odd. Surely some disagreements indicate a violation of their principles. What would the principles be worth otherwise? Surely this is the paradox of tolerance in a different package. Why not instead model communication as a bilateral contract?
I agree that gaming on mac is fairly grim, but I've been quite happy playing games on my 13" M1 macbook (air i think?). This excludes most AAA games, but I've certainly enjoyed Victoria 3 (and other paradox games). They don't seem to run much slower than on intel (which, granted, is typically worse than through wine or windows). Baldurs Gate 3 should be on it soon, I think. The mac market itself should shift pretty rapidly.
Edit: factorio and oxygen not included have both been pretty solid, too. I think factorio is even native.
Is this the equivalent of directly asking the os for more pages, or does it work via some other heap-like mechanism that simply isn't garbage collected?
"Artificially high" by a factor of maybe 3. We need to look at how to get to a factor of 100 or 1000.
Oil is much, much more valuable in the long term as a material commodity, not a fuel commodity. This can be realized if we bring down the price of power, which is happening, albeit in only part of the globe.
I've seen the fuel or carbon tax pitched with a program where wealthy states directly subsidize the growth of non-carbon-emitting processes (or a low amortized rate, for instance for the concrete and mining and processing of nuclear fuel)—the non-wealthy states can continue to grow at a similar pace while not sacrificing leverage over the wealthy ones. There are many reasons this likely won't happen, but there certainly are solutions for those searching for them.
This seems to be an artifact of using Qt Creator. Generally speaking it is just a matter of running the same compilation steps with different targets (so long as you don't have arch-specific stuff in there like reliance on aliasing behavior or specialized simd, of course). Qt uses just about the most complicated build process I've seen outside of Xcode/objective-c++.
I'm curious to compare what the GTK build process looks like as a universal binary; I think RawTherapee has done it.
Yes. I'm going to specifically recommend Octavia Butler, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Ursula Le Guin for particularly socially-focused fiction that is, in many ways, much more relevant to our current social issues than most contemporary fiction you can pick up off the rack. Not to knock fiction of course, but it can be hard to explore issues thoroughly while also delivering a believable and enjoyable story set in current times.
For the campy stuff, people seem to really enjoy The Expanse, both the books and the tv show.
The Mars Trilogy relies on a number of very idealistic characters to carry the politics specifically past what the earth was capable of, as well as unrealistically effective resolutions when violence does occur. But I really think you've chosen the wrong author if you're hoping for realism.
I agree with this assessment. However, the book was never supposed to be realistic, simply a plausible beginning to a story. Idealistic hope, and imagining yet unimagined sci-fi stories that specifically reject the dystopian mindset that can often plague sci-fi, is kind of KSR's thing. All of his books are like this.
Same as anywhere: write off theft and make bank off the rich people. The idea that SF is somehow unique is asinine. If i were to guess they want the public to foot the bill for cops to just shoot shoplifters.
