  • Oh my getti

  • Sidebar, I'm a big fan of a minimal life aka having as little stuff as possible. My truck can hold all my stuff for a one trip move. If I didn't have that then there's the $20 daily van rentals which are honestly going to be like $60 all said and done. If I couldn't afford a deposit and first months rent on an apartment then I could rent a room. I've also been tempted to get a cheap trailer for an RV park. Finally there's the option of taking on a roommate. In college we had two people to each room and a guy with a makeshift wall renting the living room. Is it glamorous? Hell no. Could things be better? Hell yeah. Is it better than living out of my truck or on the street? Most definitely.

  • My point is pretty much what I've said. That is no matter the circumstance there will be a portion of the population who will say not enough has been done, that a candidate isn't X or Y enough. I feel like I'm now just repeating my statements.

  • The way things are going the state may be non-human sometime soon.

  • I hear this complaint no matter the individual in question. One can similarly see the same behavior on the right as well. No matter how right or authoritarian an individual is there's some portion who think they aren't right or authoritarian enough. I think it's more so a human behavior than anything about political philosophy.

  • I'm implying that no matter who the person is some will say they aren't left enough. You see the same on the right, no matter how extremely right or authoritarian someone is there's some on the right who say they're not right or authoritarian enough.

  • So there's no means of there being a worthwhile candidate by your standards?

  • I didn't say anything about genocide. What is happening in Gaza, Darfur, Burma, DRC, Xinjiang is horrific and should be stopped.

  • It's interesting how there's no one socialist, left, or democrat enough. Like no matter who's there someone will argue they are a fake and a phony.

  • It's like the quote by Clifford Stoll. The first time something is done its science, the second time its engineering, the third time its technicians work. Most people in statistics become actuaries and do the math equivalent of being a technician. They aren't discovering or applying anything new, more so just going through the steps.

  • Irl they become actuaries. It's usually applied mathematics and if by mathematician one means someone exploring mathematics alone then this is accurate. CompSci kinda falls half into this and half outside of it.

    It reminds me of the statement by Clifford Stoll, (paraphrased) the first time you do something it's science, the second time you're an engineer, the third time you're a technician. link.

    In essence most statistician work ranges in the engineer to technician level of mathematics.

  • It's obviously RB but there's some truth in there. I remember back in like 2008 when I was first introduced to Linux, kinda felt like magic that there was another OS besides windows and Mac. I had an old powerPC iBook collecting dust that I installed Ubuntu on. Honestly I was just toying around with it for a few weeks. I remember being confused by a lot of things kinda like this post and honestly not even knowing where to look for information, what terms to put into the search. I just clicked around and essentially broke shit and reinstalled.

    I forgot about Linux for a while until my Intel Mac mini fell out of support so I installed Ubuntu around and 2010 full time on my main machine. The good megaupload and Netflix as a DVD service days.

    I ended up distro hopping to nearly everything. Ended up getting that old PPC laptop up and running again with a version of puppy Linux. I got really into light weight distros and minimal UI's with all my own cli scripts for everything, mps-yt for YouTube, made my own script for 8tracks, for web scraping and so on. Lots of pipe menus for everything, weather, calendar events and so on. Although these days I just run Fedora, have been thinking of switching to an immutable base with a container for everything I need to install besides flatpaks. Vanilla OS looked like a cool project but it's not mature yet, same with pop cosmic.

    A mature cosmic UI on something like vanilla OS with an Ubuntu and an arch container for software that isn't available as a flatpak or otherwise doesn't work well as a flatpak I think would be my ultimate if and when they become mature.

  • Nah the real move is to steal IP, manipulate your currency to decrease the cost of exports and to brutally mine the resources from poorer countries

  • West Virginia (⁠´⁠;⁠︵⁠;⁠`⁠)

  • At minimum how would the heat be managed? Also as someone else said, just getting the material from the earth into orbit is currently possible but why?

  • I appreciate the message. Yeah I was just curious how long it would go but I got tired.

  • I'm guessing you don't know the speaker. Saying something is BS just because it's on YouTube is interesting. What if it was a lecture by Terrence Tao on YouTube? Also just for argument sake, there's lots of ideas taken pretty seriously in physics that aren't directly testable, honestly border more on philosophy. Even simple things like what exactly is time, does all of spacetime exist at once as Einstein thought and so on.

  • Ohm my god, that really hertz. It was really shocking
