coroutines

I like this comment. We are guilty of letting this happen. I doubt stating that will change the average person's willingness to go out and vote and get involved with politics, but it is important to acknowledge our part of the blame. We can't be Halocaust-deniers, and we can't pretend we didn't have some part in this surveillance overreach. We let our fear play into their hands - and their hands have stayed busy since 2001.

~ don't give in to apathy, no matter how depressing we must stay involved in politics ~

All I see when I look at a car is a very costly set of risks. I'd rather pay for someone else to manage those risks. Car subscriptions++

I am of the opinion there are very few people who can be thoughtful, at least in that long-term sense..

There's a middle ground between your statement and the experience the fellow above had. I'd prefer a good community college with a career counselor that pushes you to make the necessary steps toward employment after graduation.

This is a very well-written response that is both thought provoking and elegantly projected.

Hey, remember that time we gave up regular expressions and went back to writing grammars? Right tool for the job..

The US is the best government to oversee DNS in a way that isn't corrupt and awful. That said, the US has seized domains in the past without proper due process - so it's really that "for the most part" we expect our freedoms to be respected. I think the situation would be far worse if left to several countries who don't share our progressive values. The Internet is only as great as it is because it became a "thing" here first. It would be fucking awful having Iran or China manage DNS - even as partners.

I was just yesterday called to schedule an interview... >.>

As a Lehman... the only thing I don't like about Veracrypt is it seems to have a different on-disk container format than the original Truecrypt. I don't like having to remember to check "Truecrypt compatibility mode" when unlocking a drive. I only use the Truecrypt format because so many other tools exist (like tcplay) and because dm-crypt supports that format natively. If Veracrypt does take over the community of those who used Truecrypt, I hope its format gets supported upstream so we'd be at the same level of cross-platform portability. (really I'm only talking about what I had previously on Linux, though)

However much I hate the politics surrounding Docker and systemd, they have done a LOT for Linux to provide a standardized way to configure most distros and reliably deploy apps/stacks. I still feel that tuning Linux for networking is not an easy thing to learn about.

In my experience, the BSDs used to be trusted for their reliability and performance. Linux has come a long way in terms of reliability and configuration cost - though performance is harder to tune for. Docker has enabled a lot of trusted deployments. 6-8 years ago I remember the question "Why don't companies use Linux as much in production as FreeBSD?"

Maybe I'm sheltered.

Oh behave. ;p

I'm not saying people won't install desktop apps - I just like that there is a diminishing reason to do it outside the browser. [High performance] games, browsers themselves, video players (VLC), and dev environments, are some of the last things left...

It's very hard for me to envision a future I want to save for where I'm not the owner of a house - of my own space. That said, I imagine subscription car usage will be a shift that happens over a generation or two...

I hate installing things. :x I get pretty turned on by offering up something like Google Sheets as a webapp that installs and is usable in seconds over the Internet. I used to really love Lua but even though it was <1MB to install people didn't want to download it and then run my script on its interpreter. I remember I made the choice to play in Lua after Python because Python was a large install at the time (60MB for interpreter + standard libs). I honestly feel like the desktop experience is moving into the browser. It's very convenient to "install your runtime" by going to a web address. I love being somewhere near the front lines of that. :3 </zealous-panting>
