It has not been insulated at all, there are tons of federal immigration pathways made easier for french speaking immigrants. According to this https://www.statista.com/statistics/444906/number-of-immigra..., Ontario does seem over-represented.

I'm not saying over-immigration has no downsides, clearly it did not help our overstrained system, but to say it caused it is to willfully blind ourselves to the structural issues that lead to these issues in the first place. i.e. they will never be fixed

Canada DoS'd its own healthcare. I'm mostly familiar with Quebec but the overextended healthcare system is mainly our own doing, so is housing shortage.

Having to put this much effort everytime a new technology comes out is so unproductive. How about have standards for elected officials not to abuse their power? Maybe have an ethics comittee or something? In academia, there's not a rule for every situation; ethics comittee handle this

Then the AI misunderstands you and you end up in a loop of autogenerated responses, or just a "please visit our website for this inquiry."

As far as I can tell, the push against immigration in Canada is mainly around unskilled workers (which a lot of TFW are) and asylum seekers, but we will see how this pans out.

Most distros use https://github.com/SELinuxProject/refpolicy while RHEL uses https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy

It's also my experience that Fedora has better support for it, but Gentoo used to be good enough with hardened gentoo (they use https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/hardened-refpolicy.git/). Redhat and Gentoo are the only ones that officially support it afaik. I think hardened gentoo might have lost popularity since the fall of grsec, but I'm not sure how popular it is currently.

I used ublock origin to block the overlay and loading indicator. A loading indicator on a website is bad practice anyway imo

I don't think any non profit should ever refuse money. If they make money from something you disagree with, then taking that money and using it in the scope of your non-profit (which you agree with) is a moral imperative

What if the bank doesn't allow you to make that transaction? How much delay are you willing to accept? Fees?

Python works around this by having multithreading through multiprocessing and IPC. its made pretty easy to use with the futures builtin module but is finicky/slow/hard to support.

Considering these loans are non forgivable because of the governement, I think they are responsible for the exponential growth in cost and should bear the blame

Having a cursor to access files is mostly legacy no? The difference between memory and storage is getting very small, e.g. ssds and optane

The actual tokenizer often does not matter since you can add pre processors/normalizers. I assume they did it like this because capitalization matters in a lot of contexts

Or big cloud platform could give some compute for free, give back some of the profit they get from oss.
