Weirdly, Mazars actually shrinks what I believed was the scope of Congressional power, where in the one instance the House actually attempted to exert equal balance, there now exists a four-part test for validity of presidential subpeonas. Congressional power is squeezed from all sides whenever exerted.

You mean a Press Secretary? What we used to use before Twitter?

Thanks for sharing. I actually wonder now if your experience happens fairly often, and Keivan's experience infrequently, though they're fairly similar circumstances. Integrating OSS or OSS concepts into a program vs a library have different implications but the engineering work required is the same. WinGet on paper, as a product, meets all of the requirements desired by the community. To appreciate the toll it takes on your competition in the OSS community is just alien compared to rules around corporate competition, where in the US there is effectively no scrutiny around imitation. It's a natural place for a team at Microsoft to land. I wish in your case that you didn't have to find out third-hand, but it does seem satisfying to think a bespoke game engine had that much reach!

But there is the promise of your OSS engine being used again, future potential. Microsoft essentially cut this person off from being involved in the future of Windows packaging and only told him 24 hours in advance. I'd need that amount of time just to process.

Once we reopen, we aren't going to regain capacity in hospital beds overnight. How are parts of the US going to avoid being to be on lockdown every two to eight weeks for the remainder of the summer? I feel if everyone understood that this cycle is inevitable, we could constructively benefit from people arguing the threat of reopening vs the threat of continued exposure. Instead, it's a game of chicken who wants to open up the economy later than June—just in time for cases to spike in July.

The abolition of slavery was worth it. But the failure of Reconstruction allowed the south to backside right where they were.

On the bright side, I definitely write safer C code now after wrapping my head around Rust. I'd much rather have the compiler tracking lifetimes than my own imagination though.

This is such a strange response. Byuu's two posts later in the thread contain several corrections, particularly on their alleged cartridge hoarding behavior. It invalidates the claims of the original post while not denying any of the evidence was true. A well sourced Wikipedia article can still be biased. The presence of sources isn't mutually exclusive with bias.

"Held accountable" on the post seems to include moral depravity like "he posted anti-Trump tweets". I don't think that's really accurate here.

Means testing is a strategy but not really expected of a private corporation, e.g. you're just asking the company to do more work to accomplish less.

That's what confuses me. How particularly is the UK so different from the rest of Europe or the globe even? I get that how the UK views itself may give support for this strategy, and it agrees with how I view UK society, but why only in this location is national identity the defining factor in pandemic response?

It is possible to use Firefox on iOS and survive. My primary use of the Share menu is just to share links to Firefox, with the option to even open tabs in the background. Still, this is obviously the best they can do with the limited OS APIs, and it might make just as much sense for Apple to just make the Share UX the primary way you select your web browser (with Safari being the built-in option).
