  • So at one point Macs were the developer laptop. They gave a nice desktop experience but with UNIX underneath that was very close to the Linux servers you'd deploy on to.

    The direction of travel has been to bring the UI closer and closer to touch devices, often at the detriment to the developer experience (IMO). Snow Leopard / Lion was Mac OS at it's best. Once we left the cats behind it started going wrong.

    Intel has become Arm - moving things further from those deployment servers. I've come to the realisation that I actually need x86 Linux adjacency more than anything else and nothing does that better than x86 Linux.

  • You're right. It's a liberal idea to allow the (largely) unregulated possession of firearms. However, it takes a certain mindset to pickup that forearm and try to decide how the country is run with it through armed insurrection. One that's more akin to authoritarian, or at least paternalism.

    Personally I feel if the 2nd amendment is there for this reason, the ln the no kings marches should have had arms. That's a powderkeg scenario and we'd probably be looking at hundreds dead at this point. However if there was ever a reason for the 2nd amendment, this is it and that's the cost. Otherwise there's no point in the right to bear arms and you should scrap it.

  • Depending on where they're immigrating from, there can be bigotry internal to the source culture that they bring with them. For example the Indian caste system. From the outside we just see people from India, but there's a ton we're missing.

  • I e got an i3 one of these on order and should turn up next month. I need to buy RAM and an SSD, but I think it'll end up around £750 all in. Will replace my 11yo MacBook Air 11 inch. Mac OS just went in the wrong direction under Cook.

  • There'd be smaller tutorial sessions. I'd have a once a week 5 on 1 session with my tutor for an hour. Lab sessions might be 30-40 people. Specialist courses would be 100 people.

    ...but yes, lectures were 300+ people for the core subjects. Generally you and your peers would work together on making sense of it all. You'd find that some people understood some subjects better than others and you'd help each other out.

  • As a British citizen, we've certainly ejected cunts from power.

    The big difference between our system and the US system is that the US system is codified in a single document and as a result it doesn't evolve except through rare amendments. The British constitution is written through precedent. If a situation hasn't occurred before then we decide what to do today. We don't try to take the 250yo (or more) words of people who had never imagined the situations of today and try to apply the right to bear arms on AI powered kamikaze drones.
