And yet the Bible has numerous stories where it seems people don't have free will, with God either "hardening their hearts" or laying out what they'll do in the near future. It's obvious from the Bible that either G

I think it's more likely that over the next few years US power fades in the region and Taiwan strikes a bargain with China. The Taiwanese are extremely pragmatic when it comes to these sorts of things, and I somehow doubt they'll

I can't think of a single Linux user I know who doesn't use a multi-monitor setup. I have three monitors on my desktop and it works fine on Cinnamon and Plasma. Maybe the dozen I know are outliers, but I think multi-monitor setups

I've been playing with io_uring for the last month or so, just for fun. I'm working on building an async runtime from scratch on top of it. I've been documenting (think of them more as notes to myself) the process thus far: C

I've been learning io_uring for fun and 0 profit by building a web-based game using only the Rust standard library. I create a simple WebSocket server and am now creating async from the ground up. I'm documenting it all: https:&#

It's not harder than any other job, but it's harder than many. Teaching, especially in middle and high school, is not as technically difficult as say many developer roles, but it is far more difficult when it comes to organization

There's such a low probability of that happening, even if the US turns their back on Taiwan. It would likely result in Taiwan and Japan, at the least, rapidly building nuclear weapons. Then they'd trade the occasional word and pol

You can install it through the Software Manager. At least on Mint that's how it is. Click, install, and I believe it tells you to logout and back in.

I've always preferred Mint over Ubuntu itself. It runs better and seems to drain the battery on my laptop more slowly. Cinnamon is a nice and simple DE, though I usually use Plasma.

You act like no one is having kids at all. The birthrate being lower on a planet with 8 billion going on 11 billion is just fine.

Does climbing really expose you to your fear of death? You're strapped in, and possibly wearing a helmet if outside, while either top roped or clipped in metal anchors. I can see that fear if you're free climbing, though. I'v

It's rather disingenuous to say that assembling an Ikea shelf and using a framework to build are analogous. The latter is almost always vastly more complex for any product beyond the most simplistic, and requires pulling in skills and

I've taught CS for about 15 years now. To get the majority of kids in a class actively involved is an art. It's less about the tools, though those can help, and more about who you are, as a teacher. It takes time to develop that.

There is no violation of policy when both sides of the strait have differing views on what "one China" means. China can warn all it wants. It has been threatening Taiwan for decades. Frankly, Taiwan and the rest of Asia have had e

Absolutely. There is one meetup that meets every other week on Sunday, but it'd be good to have something else going.

More likely it's due to China's zero covid policy.

To add a counter to this, I'd say technically things are looking pretty bad. The population is expected to grow by 2 billion people in the next 30 years, so I wouldn't call that leveling off. With the degradation of, and simultane

That's a nice resource, thank you. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of position did you end up in?

Thank you for the reply. Your first idea is something I'm currently doing as part of a few side projects, and I'd like to keep working at in the future. It lacks the technical side (ie. code) that I'm fond of. Looking into SC

This post is so condescending. You not only tell people their ambitions outside of raising children are childish, but then go on to exclaim how much they'll regret by not having children because of some advantageous perspective change.
