Could be the third parameter that causes both leftism and big IQ.

Someone would need to do the study on that to be sure though.

Headline: says something. (That is obviously not true and just clickbaiting)

Instant disclaimer: the headline is not good, it should be instead “don’t do this other thing”.

Later in the article: how do we avoid doing the thing I told you not to do? By doing what I told you not to do.

The dude may be correct (idk, haven’t bothered reading the rest of the article), but he doesn’t know how to write/communicate. I don’t believe he’s respecting my time. Just tell in the title what you actually want to talk about.

Don’t worry. Let a non dumb dumb explain.

There are many causality relationship kinds.

1. Leftist -> big IQ: being leftist makes someone have big IQ
2. Leftist <- big IQ: having big IQ makes someone a leftist.
3. Leftist <-> big IQ: both 1 and 2. That is, saying “I am a leftist” and saying “I have big IQ” is the same, since one causes the other.
4. Third parameter -> leftist AND third parameter -> big IQ: there is something that causes both being leftist and having big IQ.

In case 1, all leftists have big IQ. But NOT all big IQ ppl are leftist.

In case 2, all big IQ ppl are leftist. But NOT all leftists have big IQ.

In case 3, all big IQ ppl are leftist, and all leftists have big IQ.

In case 4, some NOT all leftist have big IQ. And NOT all big IQ ppl are leftist. But some are.

Assuming having big IQ is desirable, leftists would want either case 1 or 3. Since that would mean they have a big IQ.

However, the headline seems to suggest case 2. And in reality. And it could still be case 4.

Of course, in reality there is an uncountable number of parameters, not just 3, so don’t take the “all” in my comment as literally “all”. Reality probably resembles more case 4.

If this were a feel-good article for leftists, the headline would suggest case 1 or 3. Since that is what leftists want.

Even assuming the best case scenario of case 2 where all big IQ people are leftists. If you define big IQ as “top 10%” and low IQ as “not big IQ”: it is technically possible for 90% of leftists to be low IQ. And if low IQ is 50-50 leftist-conservative, 78% of leftists would be low IQ.

5 seconds at every boot and shutdown is important.

The reason you shouldn’t blindly benchmark an init system is because most of the time is not caused by the init system itself being slow, but the processes it manages being slow.

As the other commenter says, it is very easy to make the system “faster” by just configuring the timeouts to be lower. If you just set the timeout to 0 it will be very fast, but it won’t be a very good system.

It’s even worse than that. They increase the price right after they increase the ad length. As in “well, now that ads are longer, this subscription has more value. Therefore we should increase the price”.

It was a dream when it wasn’t available. Once it existed, we saw the many flaws it had. That’s why statically strong typed languages still exist. And even new ones are being created.

If parenting were easy and there were cheat codes, there wouldn’t be so many assholes in the world. Since the primary source of assholes is bad parenting.

Convincing someone of something using reason and logic requires that someone to understand how reasoning and logic work. Children have underdeveloped brains, so it’s very hard to convince them with reasons and logic every time.

I’m not a parent, so I can’t assure you this. But probably each kid needs a different approach, and you probably have to try a lot of different approaches until (hopefully) one of them sticks. That’s what I try to do when encountering someone that don’t know how to use logic and reason.

He has gotten away with everything. He will get away from diddling kids.

Idk what the fuzz is about, he should just tell everything and move on. He’s not going to be held accountable.

You have to trust them though. That’s my point.They may say they are funded only by donations and still sell your data.

In fact the first link says the same as I do as the first phrase. When using a VPN, you are moving your trust from your ISP to your VPN provider.

Of course there may be exceptions that are actually free and don’t sell your data. But the ones that sell your data will rarely state so.

Idk what either of those are. I don’t endorse any VPN. All I’m saying is that it doesn’t matter how strong the encryption algorithm is, you still have to trust your provider.

VPNs have the exact same power over you as ISPs. Using a VPN to avoid your ISP is just kicking the can down the road. That’s why you better choose a VPN that you trust.

It’s not the cryptography you have to trust. It’s the other end of the tunnel. A free VPN most probably sells your data. Nobody offers free services for actually free.

It works. As long as it’s not a Thursday. Or any other day with a 5% chance or so.

I just selfhost in my own computer. 100% uptime when I need it (I don’t need it when my computer is turned off). And as a bonus, it’s not on the public internet so I’m not training slop scrappers.

Factorio does have high quality graphics, sounds an animations. It is just in 2D instead of 3D.

But if you price a product based on its cost instead of its value, you do you.

I prefer to pay 30k€ for a car than pay 60k€ for a worse car that happens to have a steering wheel made out of solid gold.

That was not the point. The point is that Factorio is in a similar level of quality. That is the top one. If you believe that 3X€ is too expensive for a top game, then you are saying that every game out there that is >30€ is overpriced.

If you believe that, you are honestly way out of touch with reality. 30€ is on the low side of a price for a game. Most AAA games are >60€.

No AAA value? It’s up there with Minecraft and terraria as one of the best games.

I’d say it’s better than any AAA if you consider the games above “indie”

The X just sends a signal to your application. If you ignore that signal, it will just do nothing.

That signal tells your application to clean itself. Maybe the changed how that “cleaning itself” worked, in a way that lead to actually ignoring the signal all together.

The thing is easy to break. The question is how that even got past QA testing. Or even just any other dev testing.

A single person launching the program and trying to close it should see the bug.

Jokes on you. Boost does not support spoilers, making it 0 clicks.

The UN is not a society. There are many groups without a leader. But when talking about anarchism, people usually mean anarchist society.

That’s like saying FAANG is anarchism, because they talk among themselves without there being a leader.

The Dow is over 45000! I said over a big number, so it must be good right?
