Or how about how the bible was used as an excuse to try to keep Americans dumb and ignorant. An excellent example of exactly where the Bible fits into American history.

Not sure how to say this without sounding like a bit of an asshole, but why should we care? What does Theia do better than VS Code? For some relevant context I don’t consider VS Code to be a good IDE, but it’s not a bad editor. I use it when I need to crack open some random file (typically markdown or JSON) with maybe a bit of syntax highlighting, but I would never use it for programming.
Article was a bit light on who the intended audience is for Theia. VS Code’s big selling points are that it’s super fast to open and has a robust extension ecosystem, is Theia going to provide the same, and how are they planning to convince current VS Code users to switch?
He never had it.
Been using a ZSA Voyager as a travel keyboard for work and very satisfied with it. Used a Sofle V2 prior to that but I was concerned about how well it was (or rather wasn’t) holding up to the rigors of travel so I replaced it with something designed for travel and a little more robustly constructed.
I use a Workman layout and a few years ago switched to using homerow mods so I found the modifier keys on the Sofle to be redundant so I decided to downscale to something a little more compact. Because my usage is for work the number keys get used heavily so I wasn’t willing to give those up by going to something like a Corne. On the flip side I wouldn’t use the Voyager for gaming due to those same missing modifier keys since keys like shift and ctrl are used in a non-modifier pattern when gaming.
“If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” Biden said at a fundraising event for his 2024 campaign outside of Boston. “We cannot let him win.”
The irony of this is breathtaking. If Biden wasn’t running there’d be much less of a chance of Trump winning. I really wonder what would happen at this point if Biden dropped dead of a heart attack tomorrow. I find it hard to believe anyone else could possibly be doing worse than him. Harris might do just as badly because of guilt by association, but at least she wouldn’t do any worse.
If there’s any justice in the world both Biden and Trump will kick the bucket before the next election, and we’ll actually get a couple candidates that aren’t a few decades past the average life expectancy for once. Maybe get a fresh faced 50 year old for a change. God forbid we get a candidate that we don’t seriously have to worry about if they need a diaper change for once.
This is a wild guess but you probably need to rerender the framebuffer when you get the resize event. I’d expect most libraries/frameworks/engines would take care of that for you, but if you’ve rolled your own using the base X11 and OpenGL libraries you might need to set that up. X11 has a lot of strange quirks due to its network centric design.
The problem is police aren’t treated like civilians.
I still don’t understand how she hasn’t been removed from the bench for her blatant bias and incompetence.
Company should be banned. Nobody should do business with them anymore.
I’m trying to decide if this would be a net positive or negative.
Looking at the congressional districts for Oregon and Idaho it looks like about 5 or 6 districts that are all Republican controlled. Currently Idaho has two congressional districts that both lean heavily Republican. Shifting 5 or 6 Republican congressional seats from Oregon to Idaho I don’t see making a significant difference to Congress.
Looking at things in the Senate both Idaho senators are Republican and adding more Republican districts won’t really change that in any meaningful way. On the flip side both of Oregon’s Senators are currently Democrats and I can’t imagine removing a bunch of Republican voters from the state would do anything but reduce the chances of one of those Senate seats getting flipped.
I’m not really seeing any way in which this would help Republicans or hurt Democrats other than just by generally strengthening each party’s hold on its respective state.
“We allege that Live Nation relies on unlawful, anticompetitive conduct to exercise its monopolistic control over the live events industry in the United States at the cost of fans, artists, smaller promoters, and venue operators,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland in a statement. “The result is that fans pay more in fees, artists have fewer opportunities to play concerts, smaller promoters get squeezed out, and venues have fewer real choices for ticketing services. It is time to break up Live Nation-Ticketmaster.”
Oh look, they finally discovered the thing anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together knew 20 years ago.
Stop fucking approving corporate mergers and acquisitions you utter fucking dumbasses.
Advertising is what happened, and it mostly started with Google. Pretty much the only reason tech companies are so obsessed with hoovering up every scrap of info they can about their customers is to feed it into a model that can be used for targeted advertising. Advertising is in a very literal sense what the modern Internet is built on, for, and financed by. You can pretty much divide the history of the internet into pre-Google when advertising was all about user impressions (the era of page view counters), and the post-Googe era when advertising was all about user data (the era when every website wants you to login using your google or facebook account to better correlate your behavior).
I feel like the Internet has gone through three distinct phases. The first phase was primarily driven by individuals and a small handful of businesses. Content was highly limited, but generally positive. Lots of niche communities formed and most things had a very amateur feel to them, but everything was new and interesting.
The second phase was the rise of big corporations and the almighty ad. This was the first arms race between ad tech and ad blockers and gave us such evils as the pop up and pop under. A lot of the early charm of the internet was lost here. Everything started to become much more polished and commercialized, but we also saw a rapid expansion of content and functionality. This phase was heavily driven by corporations, and most of the early individual content was killed at this time.
The last and current phase is the social media phase. It’s kind of a hybrid of the previous two. We have individuals generating most content again, but it’s controlled, filtered, channeled, and exploited for commercial gain by the corporations. This has somehow lead to things being worse as corporations discovered that catering to people’s worst impulses is the most profitable decision.
Despite what he said Trump never had a war against the deep state, rather he was always on a quest to establish the deep state. One owing loyalty to himself. As is always the case with Republicans it was projection.
Could still be a manufacturing defect on a replacement part, but obviously not on anything that is original. It’s more likely though that whatever it is failed from lack of maintenance or improperly done maintenance at this point.
Or they got incredibly lucky and happened to be in just the right place at the right time to have a ridiculously successful business. See E.G. Bill Gates who was pretty middle of the road at just about everything, but lucked into being at just the right place at the right time and managed to be just cunning enough in his business deals. Lots of other far more talented and far smarter people never even got a fraction of the success he did, but he was just super lucky. That’s pretty much how it always goes though.
The biggest lie the US propagates is that wealth is correlated to talent, effort, or both. It isn’t, it’s about 90% luck, 8% ruthlessness, and 2% effort (and that 2% doesn’t even apply to those that inherit their wealth).
Huh, never heard of that before. I’ve literally only ever heard of 1 billion as 1,000,000,000.
Yeah no shit. Because it’s essentially impossible to acquire that much wealth in that short a period of time. Even the number of millionaires under 30 that didn’t inherit their wealth is tiny.
Potentially relevant piece of info, it was a Boeing. Might be bad maintenance, might be manufacturing defect, we’ll need to see what the investigation turns up. At the very least the fact it was a Boeing plane raises some eyebrows.
Edit: rereading it mentions it was a 33 year old plane with a history of problems. Leaning more towards bad maintenance, although if it was that prone to issues maybe it should have been taken out of service before now.
Most of the tools that make an IDE an IDE. Refactoring abilities are very limited and basic. Quickly navigating complex code bases becomes tricky. The code completion and type annotations are often missing or just plain wrong. When compared to something like essentially any IDE offered by JetBrains it just doesn’t stack up. Prior to RustRover being released I briefly tried to use VS Code for Rust using its LSP plugin, but it was just really bad in general, it utterly failed to analyze the code and provided almost no contextual help.
