I am but I'm very quickly finding out I have nothing to contribute.

What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?

Typically, I can read an "average" open source programmers code. One of the issues I have with C++ is the standard library source seems to be completely incomprehensible.

I recently started learning rust, and the idea of being able to look at the standard library source to understand something without having to travel through 10 layers of abstraction was incredible to me.

Reminds me of this

This was incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Remind me how to do this, please. I always forget this part...

Why did you bother mentioning the 19.2% inflation statistic if we're talking about real wages?

Your point is taken that Biden is not primarily responsible for the wage increases during his time in office, but he doesn't have the power as president to unilaterally increase the federal minimum wage. He did sign an executive order increasing the minimum wage for federal employees and contractors which, while not having a significant impact on the wage growth nationally, is a step in the right direction.

I realize your point is more that the author of this piece is a prick and he didn't spend enough time trying to understand the bad economic vibes coming from the working class, but it seems like the Biden administration did a relatively good job guiding the economy through post COVID turmoil, which he (... And Harris by proxy) did not get any credit for. Would you agree with that?

I'm a huge fan of "sneering chud" by the way. Will be forcing that into a conversation soon.

Yes. Incredibly theoretical, difficult to understand, highly abstract plans like "raising the national minimum wage".

Just curious, if Marianne doesn't get the Democratic nomination do you still plan on voting for the Democratic nominee?

Regardless of your feelings about Harris, (I have similar feelings) you must recognize that having her as president would be, by far, the lesser evil when compared to Trump especially if you're concerned about excessive imprisonment / decriminalization of marijuana.

In my experience podman compose is not a sufficient replacement.

Docker compose can be used with podman via the podman socket daemon. It's very easy to get working. Give it a try.

Some of the "misleading" statements were Harris neglecting to enumerate the reasons why a stated policy goal might not succeed, which would be incredibly unusual to include in a speech of this nature.

I guess the point the author was trying to make was that saying you "will" do something in office is a promise, and if you don't have the ability to guarantee that promise can be kept you shouldn't say that thing at all? I love me some NPR but they're really bending over backwards with some of these...

Agree with this. I think tactfully pointing out minor issues you see can be helpful because the implementor is closer to the problem and may have just overlooked the issue and can come up with a solution easily. I've been on the giving and receiving end of this, and so long as everyone is behaving professionally, it's always been helpful.

On the "tactful" note, I'll generally say something like: "I don't have a solution, but I see problem. I don't know that this is reason enough to hold up this PR. I'll leave it up to you."

Didn't his texts say something to the effect of, "I've had enough of his hatred." That doesn't sound like something someone who didn't think CK was far right enough would say.

In my mind it's the severity of the action.

Among other things, Elon Musk helped put a fascist in the White House, then withheld food aid killing children in the developing world while that food rotted in warehouses.

We should fight back against Elon in whichever way we can, including boycotts.

Thor has a controversial opinion about video games.

Why do you think its bad? From a secruity standpoint its obviously not great, but its undeniably more convenient than running a curl command to pull in a third party .repo file, yum update and yum install to get something that isnt easily available in my base repos.

Here's an annotated video by one of the Authors of the paper this article references that helped me understand what was going on here.

This is what prevented me from using podman, unfortunately. That and the setup for devcontainers in vscode wasnt exactly seamless.

Unfortunate since their windows support is great.

Agree. I may be misunderstanding something here, but to view votes one would have to spin up their own instance. This would prevent your average abusive moron from harassing users who down voted their post/comment.

What's the current best way to run docker on Windows?

I'm still using wsl(2) for that in 2025 because it seems to be the path of least resistance on Win11.
