You’re gonna get labeled a terrorist and probably shot

The way to go is in the monkey wrenching book (forgot the full name:

You take steel bars, and cut them to size

Then you remove a piece of bark

Drill a hole into the tree

Put the steel rod in

Glue the bark back on

Do it at eye level-ish, that way you’re not hurting the worker with a snapping chain, instead damaging the lumber mill. Bigger damage anyways

Communism is a stateless, classless and moneyless society. Of course there need to be structures in place to ensure it stays that way, because having a powerful few would have reintroduced classes. Thats why you need stable, democratic governance, for example federated councils or something similar.

most people rather tune out ‘the noise’ and live their lives being blissfully ignorant

I’d argue that’s not an intrinsic feature of humans, but the result of capitalist alienation. On the one hand, the individual has very little chance to participate in the decision making process, and people are overworked so they barely have the energy or time to do so, even if they wanted to

That’s an oversimplification. Skilled archers, especially in numbers, are a force to be reckoned with. For example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Agincourt

Or think of horse archers. The mongols used them to great effect, and the Romans lost 7 legions against them, despite their testudo supposedly being next to invincible against projectiles

Volleys do have their place, but mostly as a way to open the battle, and at long range. You are correct that that can often be used to provide breathing room for troop movement. However, once the fighting starts, archers usually start picking individual targets and fire at will

Proton is just a compatibility layer, not a virtual machine or emulator. So while the specifics vary from game to game, in general, performance is comparable. In my experience it’s just as stable and often faster than on windows (at least on AMD GPUs. But Nvidia has gotten better as well)

Nothing fancy, some generic 2560x1440 Acer IPS

I have a 4k OLED w/ HDR for gaming or whatever my main activity is, a second 2560x1440 for background videos, but I want a vertical monitor for terminal outputs and documents. Also just more space when I’m juggling a lot of windows

just bought a third yesterday…

It’s less so the wider tech-industry, as in corporate big tech. But the general open-source community and hacker spaces in particular have a lot of trans and other queer people in it

It’s fair to want to learn (and it’s certainly a good skill to have), but the question is what you’d rather see in a large, production environment. Guard rails are usually there for a reason. As for the control: you actually can program memory-unsafe (and in kernel development you often have to!) in Rust. The difference is that in Rust it’s explicitly marked by an unsafe block:

unsafe {
  ...
}

That way you get the same, fine-grained control over low-level processes, but someone else reading your code can at a glace spot where potential memory bugs may be.

In the end, languages are a tool. Especially for personal projects, everyone should just go with what’s fun to them. I personally think it makes sense, logistically, to slowly transition legacy C-based projects to Rust, because it makes onboarding new developers easier, while keeping the same memory safety that requires years of experience otherwise, basically for free. But there’s really no rush to rewrite anything that’s working well in Rust

wrong

The shy goth plane is making me feel things

Well then the grammar just doesn’t make sense

Explanation how I understand it:

Being poor shortens your life

Begin shortening the rich’s lives [by making them poor through expropriation], starting today

It’s super confusingly phrased, tho

Most numpy array functions already utilize multiple cores, because they’re optimized and written in C

Some do

Two sided head

Only tangentially related, since I don’t think NBD uses FUSE, but may I present Harder Drive

Samba (and NFS) require you to set shares up on the server’s side. With sshfs, you don’t need anything but a ssh login to your server. Black magic

Where do you get that idea from? Tht G stands for GNU

“pray you get the printer set up” is more of a windows thing. For ten years, over three versions of windows, I couldn’t get printing to work reliably. Switched to Linux, no problems since

Also, the new hardware thing is not really true anymore. Most things are supported from the get-go, or at least within a few weeks
