Yes, we can accept that we're all multifaceted. We contain multitudes. We can love some things about a person, and hate others.

Difficulties really only arise when we choose to make the broadest judgements into the narrowest categories. The whole must be good, the whole must be bad.

I hate how brutal he can be. I love how brutal he can be.

I think people are too obsessed with assigning a binary state to a whole human. It's downright offensive.

It's been 30 years since I used mega blocks, but damn they sucked.

I've always wondered if it was QC, or if there was some material properties of Lego that made them so much better? Like can they use tighter tolerances because of better plasticity/flexibility of their material?

I think it'll strengthen everyone's nuclear resolve. Strategic ambiguity (with the common knowledge that you are a nuclear state, like Israel) is pretty much the only option now.

Iran was playing the game of "we aren't a nuclear power, but we COULD be" wasn't enough. Everyone sees that now. The only real deterrent is a literal nuke, now.

Shortly before he started signing his name after that.

It's crazy to me how he's been on Twitter for decades but is somehow regressing to more geriatric patterns. This is what I'd expect an 80 year old to do when first joining Twitter.

But this motherfucker has been tweeting for years. WHY NOW?

I forget how old I am sometimes. I think it was generally missed, which is on me.

It's the first, iconic line from "The Godfather".

A man tells his story to Don Corleone, about how he can to America, made his fortune, and did his best to be a "good American", to trust the police. To trust the system of justice.

He tells how his teenager daughter was savagely beaten by some men who tried to rape her. He went to the police, the men stood trial, but the judge suspended the sentence.

"Suspended sentence? They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom, like a fool."

The whole scene is brilliant. The whole exploration of the failures of Western justice systems, the alternatives...

The resolution really is, he DOESN'T believe in America anymore.

I understand Toronto isn't "America", but I think the parallels in the events, and the story from the film are uncanny. A teenager was brutalized, the sentence was suspended, and the fury brewing in the stomachs of everyone has no legal outlet. The film, a work of fantasy, the father could appeal to Don Corleone. Who do we have?

Maybe I underestimated the cultural impact of The Godfather.

I believe in America.

Edit:

For clarity, I'm referring to this:

It isn't about the achieving the stated results (deportations), it's about putting on a circus for his base and building himself a personal army built entirely of members of his personality cult.

At work whenever we need to build little command line tools, my team is always vexxed by my guideline to have the meat+potatoes in a script that reads well-formatted data off stdin , and outputs well formatted-data to stout. They always wanna have some stupid interactive prompts and saving to files baked right in.

This is exactly why. You wanna save to a file?? > file

You want to read from a file? cat |

You want to save to a file but swap commas for colons? Sed.

You get so much FOR FREE w/ the GNU toolkit, even for what you build yourself, by thinking in streams.

GOOD FOLLOW UP!!

I was about to shit a brick that you went from "go to the official trusted source" to "just trust me: curl [x] | sudo bash"

Directly from my ass, it's my assumption that the primary maintainers just don't have an incentivize the cost of supporting older devices and the disparate hardware configurations.

Like, planned obscellesance or not, smartphone churn is going to happen anyways. People lose them, smash them, fall into a pool with them, decide they NEED the newer camera soldered into them, etc...

It's not like there are old phones in a closet somewhere propping up business critical infrastructure like with computers.

The cost vs utility of maintaining forward features and security patches for a massive catalog of hardware configurations just isn't there.

They're either trying to get your goat, or it's genuine. Either way, it's not making the world any better by bestowing upon yourself the title of judge and enforcer. You're either taking bait or you're a fucking cop. "Ok" is all you gotta say.

I don't even think it's true.

This sounds like Trump floundering to take credit for anything. And in the absence of something, he invented a hypothetical

I'm uncomfortable with the idea that the only reason that being trans is valid is because of biological factors.

If we could construct a human that came into existence without being Female at some gestational point, you gonna tell them they can't be trans? If someone has a thyroid problem such that they their body CAN'T handle a sex hormone, you gonna tell them they can't be trans?

I feel like we're looking for a 9-D chess play when a 1-D play is sufficient: you say you're trans, you're trans. I'm not the fucking cops

As others have mentioned, your description is maybe too vague to get a good answer. You might need to elaborate more about "moving data" means for your purposes.

I don't know if anyone has yet asked if you mean how data is stored in RAM vs a "hard drive"... How it's allocated. Things that are much closer to hardware and a kernel? How a CPU fetches instructions/"data"?

Why?
