Something internal that doesnt need to be understood can usually just not be written in the kinds of organizations I'm familiar with. Writing because something written is required is usually for the public, cross-organizational or government.

Removing equally frequent measures of normal by leaving enforcement checks to discretion is basically a method to create a biased system to target anyone who is suspicious to any authority and confirm every authority with arbitrary biases is a really good judge of character.

All of these concerns, even #1, have applied to communist car driving America and its 25% theft of everything..

I would tax the beejesus out of energy use and personal road use and invert most income tax to make something closer to a free market than the US is.

That's a strange way to put it. What teems with more life than an open sewer?

I think people who tell you it is 19th century live in countries that use IBAN/SWIFT to push money instead of checks to tell people an account is available to drain.

The other explanation would more likely be paying lawyers. The fact that one has money from thin air for lawyers can not be challenged in court.

I agree that suckless has a presentation problem in the workplace and the small things being hard are often working against you.

I don't agree that you should spend time configuring and suckless makes configuration hard on purpose. I think the suckless philosophy embrasses vi over the embarrassing plugin/configuration hellscape of vim.

IBM was the other offer on the table. Scott managed to scuttle the deal but his ability to do so was far from a certainty since he was already out as CEO.

Google was pretty much incompatible, they had no interest in workstations or paying for quality as their focus was redundant arrays on inexpensive machines.

Fujitsu was the best actual option for commercial compatibility, but everyone felt it would be a waste of time to pursue that as the USG would almost certainly block a foreign sale.

The convenience of offering to re-login if your session is expired and you hit a site where you use it?

It's certainly very interesting since Java was among the few high level languages that had unlimited access to C OS devs in theory, but it doesn't show this in practice.

I always felt they were hostile to understanding OSes and problems/solutions they provide and thereby limiting themselves to mostly junior C devs who didn't rock the boat by making real OS features for the JVM.

Assuming that's not a M-W-F schedule you could look for someone who wants a part time roommate or house/pet sitter. As long as you are able to resume commuting and stick to living somewhere else 4 days of the week, stability of a lease/etc cuts both ways.

Rental prices are based on the rental market price and then affect house prices. A landlord deciding they aren't going to make enough for their risk at the market rate and selling doesn't change much as whoever buys either stops renting or is going to rent it out.

Keybase and IPFS seem to show that a P2P fediverse scales, I don't understand why people are trying to make a fidonet/BBS style fediverse where 10s of thousands rely on one person' altruism instead of every peer caching some encrypted data and responding to some queries a few minutes or hours a day.

It sure is funny how he manages to always be in the group that needs protection of millions of little voices from whoever has the tiny sliver of power to treat his crimes equally despite his wealth. How is he going to explain his transition back to more democrat than republican when the GOP is back?

A 14℅ reduction in something that happens to 5%+ of people measurably and probably lowers your developmental outcome even if it is bellow the threshold of clear measure (a weaker school year that you never quite catch up from could just be random after all.)

That's a much bigger deal than whether you have 12 in a million or 24 in a million chance of something that has a 5% chance of being fatal.

Giving a population lead poisoning didn't kill any of them outright but cognitive problems in the lead generation is correlated to our higher homicide rates and many of the poorer outcomes in our generation and echo's of its affects in society.

I find it interesting that the wider anti-vax demographics overlap heavily with the safety/helicopter parenting that focuses on some extremely unlikely demise as a reason to limit the next generation in ways that will have much higher rates of earlier deaths and reduced lifestyles when considering their overall lifespan.
