"Nativist" is a common historical term in the United States to mean someone who is anti-immigration and (usually) anti-immigrant, and tends to be strongly associated with white supremacy.

Some German Americans were actually interned[1]. About 1/10th the amount of Japanese that were interned, but also not nothing. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_German_Americans

> The trade war with China has spread to demonization of Asians. Has it really though? I agree with pretty much everything else you said (though I’m unsure if getting a gun is warranted). I don’t think a trade war with China will spur to

I do think that RISC-V will open the door to open source implementations as well. It will take a long time, but we might reach a day when people are 3d printing their own chips. Why does everyone always put so much pressure on new technolog

I agree that all three are aggressively Linux specific, but let's be real. From a market share perspective Unix is dead. Linux itself threw the Unix philosophy out the window some time ago.

Normally I agree with anit-NIH sentiments, but why are we all supposed to just have to be happy with a language ABI that's been around since the 1970s?

How can one even develop a content-policy for something like Signal? Isn't supposed to be impossible for them to ever see your messages anyway?

I am far more concerned by AWS's removal of Parler than any of the social media stuff that's been going on.

You're talking about a very complex phenomenon. I don't think predicting what will happen is an easy thing in this situation. Also, Alex Jones is a special case, because he was overwhelmingly and universally de-platformed. This st

Read the rest of the paper, that was study 1a. They ran multiple sets of experiments with much larger sets, cross-correlated their result sets, ran a solid confirmatory factor analysis, ran sub-assessments (like attachment style) to make su

The personality differences between right vs left tend to be about maintaining social hierarchies vs freeing people from them (most effectively by generating new ones). You need both because no social hierarchy can fully account for the rea

I think the most interesting part of the paper is the inventory of attachment styles as they relate to TIV. It looks like anxious-attachment styles are more likely to have it. The thing to think about when you run into someone like this is

I disagree with this article’s premise that all software is services-based. There are lots of open-core business models that can’t be eaten by the cloud providers, because they aren’t services to be spun up. Almost all of the CNCF-based bus

The problem with Unikernels is legacy software. In order to effectively run Unikernels you have to program for them. I think the big jump in unikernels will come when someone can build Linux as a safe Unikernel and create a tool that conver

You can't pseudonymously contribute to most OSes of note. Linux for example.

I understand this sentiment, but a lot of the original team and the certainly the original founder aren’t even there anymore. Not to mention that a lot of Docker’s business missteps have been self inflicted wounds. There have been lots of g

There’s no need for them to live on. There are open source alternatives that mimic Docker exactly. In fact on Fedora[1] the “docker” cli command is actually buildah and podman (you actually can’t install Docker on Fedora anymore - I genuine

So could I spin one up for 24 hours, then simply power it off and pay by the second thereafter (every time I turn it back on)?

I’m skeptical that you could train an DNN (or any AI) to detect cheating except maybe in browser usage patterns, but recognizing facial patterns!? What data set could they possibly have found to detect such a thing and what proof do they ev

Peter Thiel (who I don't agree with on everything) had a really great take on this once (can't find it at the moment), and basically laid out a strong case on how we haven't really recovered from the oil shocks of the 1970s.

That's because we all focus on the people who complain. The vast majority of open source developers actually understand their license choice and hold no grudge when their code gets used. The response that people should "Use GPL&qu

IDK, the CPU has never been my bottle neck for work. I know it is for some use cases, but for general software development memory has always been my main bottleneck.

I've been running Fedora on a Thinkpad for 10 years and I haven't had to do any of the things you just listed other than remapping CapsLock to Ctrl, but that was trivial to do. There are definitely use cases that Linux hasn't

I would strongly recommend the following combination for beginners: Thinkpad + Fedora Fedora stays on the cutting edge of the kernel, which means that driver support is quite good. Additionally, most of the Linux kernel developers use Think

To echo this article's sentiment I have always really disliked the anthropomorphization of the natural world. I think a lot of people think that it's a politically effective tactic, but I think the opposite is true. Getting human

A cheap, non-acrimonious divorce will probably still cost you about $10k in legal fees. That's not the biggest expense though. I won't get into the details of my specific situation, but I stand to lose about $10k-20k in taxes ever

To add to this, I know many "married" people, myself included, who are permanently separated with no intention of reconciliation, but who are not legally divorced. My ex and I did not have an acrimonious "divorce" and mo
