I mean, it would be an interesting experiment I guess. I suspect it would effectively segregate the states by ideology and race. I assume most non-old-white-christians would prefer to live in blue states.

But one glaring question is how would we divide up existing federal resources? Like the military, bank, etc.

Is your issue that it's hard to move files around without breaking seeding, or something else?

You can use both.

Wow it looks like the hammer was going faster when it hit him than when it hit the ground. He might've been better off having the hammer dropped onto his face from the same height.

I checked that no one has posted these yet:

• Dallas Buyers Club
• The Trial of the Chicago 7
• The Prestige

My death was the fact that table lock acquisition is not FIFO.

Thankfully I can at least have FIFO in a single process by wrapping every write transaction in a mutex.

P.S. can't wait for turso's SQLite replacement to have feature-parity and sqlx support.

It's crazy they didn't have anyone actually watching the security cams during the event. Or even using software to detect motion on a roof.

How can you believe this when the shooter was killed on sight AND there were casualties AND the shooter was a Republican? You don't think if they staged it they would've avoided all of those things?

That's essentially the same as saying guns aren't the problem.

There is a highly NSFL video of it on the c/news megathread.

I kinda wish I did Nazi that.

They're all Steve Jobs wannabes. They copy his presentation style as much as possible, short of wearing a black turtleneck and jeans.

Pretty sure my journey looked something like:

1. Ubuntu for a while
2. A furious bout of hopping experiments: Debian, ElementaryOS, Crunchbang, MX Linux, Fedora
3. Arch for a bit, but it was too much struggle
4. Ubuntu for a while, embracing the "vanilla" lifestyle
5. Manjaro for a while. It seemed to solve my previous issues with vanilla Arch.
6. EndeavourOS, basically a better Manjaro.
7. NixOS, which had a significant learning curve but ultimately gives me the most control and repeatability for all of my machine configs. Still daily driving this on my desktop, router, and some web servers.
8. Tried out Fedora Atomic on my old laptop out of curiosity. Installing packages was ultra slow. Workflows were too annoying.

So I think the graph is actually pretty reflective of my own experience, aside from some of the specific distro choices during my peak ignorance phase, and obviously I ended up at NixOS which isn't even on here.

What an idiotic suggestion. Hetero men everywhere will rejoice in you shutting the fuck up right now.

https://endeavouros.com/ is my goto recommendation for a first-time linux user.

I'd also recommend trying it out in a VM first, like VirtualBox.

I currently have more audio issues on my MacBook Pro than my Linux desktop. The Mac will sometimes just fail to recognize headphones plugged into the 3.5mm TRS port. NixOS desktop w/ pipewire has no audio problems whatsoever.

An issue which I aim to resolve using a self-hosted VPN.

Pretty sure my eyes max out at 4K. I can barely tell the difference between 4K and 1080P from my couch.

Pretty much everyone I've talked to about this says the same thing. LLMs are useful for one-off scripts or quickly generating boilerplate. It just turns out that those tasks don't make up the majority of programming work unless you are in a bullshit job anyway.

We aren't yet great at knowing when LLM will save time and when it will inflate time.

Only if you think of the wall as an adversary and not an ally.
