  • Economically, it would be an uphill battle. The US dollar is strong because it's backed by decades of sound monetary policy (that will go right out the window when jerome powell's tenure is up) and a AAA credit rating for treasury bonds (that will disappear when the Republicans in congress finally drive us off a cliff) . A Californian dollar would be untrustworthy for a while as its central bank would need time to build trust

  • iirc, Live Aid had mixed impact. The problem with starvation in Ethiopia was partly drought, but also partly their corrupt government, which cannot be solved by pouring money onto the problem

  • What is even the point of tailscale? What can it do that other VPN solutions don't? I feel like this is a problem that was solved like 20 years ago and still we're coming up with novel solutions for some reason. At my company they want to start using tailscale and I don't see why we don't just set up wireguard on a node in our k8s cluster instead

  • And, like westphalia, peace only became an option after the radicals had spent the last 30 years killing each other off. The only people left over afterwards were those who were sick of all the killing

  • Hopefully nobody "wins". I think the best outcome is a kind of peace of Westphalia - After the radicals have all slaughtered each other, the rational middle will carve out a new political process which lowers the horizons of government and allows everyone the kind of freedom of conscience provided by separation of church and state and everyone agrees to just stay out of each other's way. Maybe this means more power to the states and less centralized federal government, maybe it's a constitutional amendment which basically keeps everyone on their side of the fence, who knows. But I think the best outcome is when people stop trying to "win" and start trying to live in peace with each other

  • Lol emacs is the opposite direction of where I want to go. I used to be a vim user and had all my plugins and configs in there until I realized that I was spending more time configuring vim than I was actually coding, so I stopped trying so hard and just moved to Visual Studio and VSCode

  • CLion is alright, but I don't like jetbrains UX design. I also prefer MSBuild and solution files over makefiles or cmake. Would be nice for an IDE that was all inclusive like Visual Studio is

  • Not him but I use Windows for C++ and C# development, and I use Linux for coding work stuff (mostly javascript). Have yet to find a good, free IDE for C++ development on Linux that compares to Visual Studio
