Literally every President at every Press Conference ever.

No, this is quite rare for a president to look so weak by whining about bad questions.

This sounds like a whole lot of convoluted bullshit to use Plex locally and “looking local” through VPN solutions when you could just roll a Jellyfin instance and do things a more straightforward way…

There are way more DGUs than there are not.

I think this is a pretty gigantic citation needed here. I couldn’t find anything supporting this assertion but plenty of material showing the opposite.

…the perp taking his own life.

Well, technically, that is someone with a firearm I suppose…

can’t even do video playback on VLC.

I remember back in the day when I downloaded the first divx file my K6-400 couldn’t smoothly play… I had been so used to thinking of that as a powerhouse coming from my Pentium 60, which was the first one I ran Linux on.

Way way too much stock is placed in that study.

For one, their total sample size was only 323 events, only 3 of which met the “3.5%” level. So the statement that change is inevitable based on only 3 instances is really crazy.

Further, none of those three instances had participants thinking that 3.5% was some sort of goal, it was a correlation. So now you have a lot of protestors treating 3.5% as a goal rather than some organic emergent property of the broader movement. Even if there was something inevitable about having a 3.5% participation rate when no one is aware of that metric, simply knowing of the metric can change a lot.

Of course, that was well below the claimed “magical” 3.5% level.

The cited scenarios were rarely democratic in nature.

Of course, in all the scenarios cited, there was no one telling them “get to 3.5% and things will happen”, so with everyone saying “if we get to 3.5%, things will happen”, that could itself break the “rule”, as a sort of self-denying prophecy.

To be fair, that article was overall pretty plainly stating that the protests were overwhelmingly more well attended. Yes they had one line that raised the possibility of weather as a factor, but I think anyone but Trump could see the facts as presented in the story telling the real story.

Also went out of their way to characterize the protests as peaceful and the only politicians under violent threat were Democrats, despite the magnitude of protests.

You can use one of a few ways to use the TPM to auto decrypt on boot without passphrase. Systemd cryptenroll is my favorite.

Because it says to do so?

Proxmox uses Debian as the OS and for several scenarios it says do Debian to get that done and just add the proxmox software. It’s managing qemu kvm on a deb managed kernel

Oh that certainly sounds like something that would “destroy” a rant.

For anyone that might have been receptive to such a rant I’m sure they all were convinced by a meme basically saying “ok boomer”.

It might have been a good and appropriate response particularly to energize the base, but “destroy” is such a weird claim that is way overused to claim imaginary “victories”.

I feel like there isn’t an assertion that the police would act out from ignorance of the law, but just how they operate. If anything the enhanced legal awareness may embolden them to know how far they can push the line and get away with it.

More than the legal awareness or lack thereof, there’s the nature of the careers. American police day to day consider everyone around them to have the capacity to become a threat. The national guard certainly will have training, but most of their actual job experience on average has been devoid of actual potential threats.

At least, there’s the hope this is true, to offset the rather dire context of federal authority mobilizing military within a state against the will of that state…

To be fair those incidents aren’t inconsistent with his hopes, that the national guard may be more restrained than the police forces that did those actions.

Police have spent an entire career actively considering the civilian population potential enemies at all times, with less vetting and training than you’d hope they should have.

National Guardsmen have access to equipment and training, but their careers are less likely to have been antagonistic to civilian populations.

This may be an overly optimistic viewpoint, but it’s not one disproved by those incidents just yet.

incorrect behavior that doesn’t even have the courtesy to throw an actual error.

To be fair, this can be said of C. A C executable only really forces a crash out when you royally screw up beyond the bounds of your memory. Otherwise functions just return a negative value and calling code that never bothers to check just keep on going.

Golang is similar, slightly mitigated that if you are assigning any return value from a function, you must also explicitly receive an error and you know full well that you are being lazy if you don’t handle it. Well unless you use a panic/recover scheme but golang community will skewer you alive for casually suggesting that and certainly third party libraries aren’t going to do it that way.

Could I write a compiler in C that does this check on a piece of Rust code?

Well yes, but that code has to be written in Rust. The human has to follow rules to give the compiler a chance to check things.

C is so simplictic, that if I can write a piece of functionality in C, I must understand its inner workings fully. Not just how to use the feature, but how the feature works under the hood.

I don’t think that’s particularly more true of C than Rust or even Golang. In C you are frequently making function calls anyway for the real fun stuff. If you ever compile a “simplistic” chunk of C code that you think is obvious how it would compile to assembly and you open up the assembly output, you are likely to be very surprised with what the compiler chose to do. I’ve seen some professional C developers that never actually had a reason to fully understand how the stack works, since C abstracts that away and the implications of the stack don’t matter until you exceed some limitations.

Technically any language runtime can end in a segmentation fault.

For some languages, in principle this shouldn’t be possible, but the runtimes can have bugs and/or you are calling libraries that do some native code at some point.

Unfortunately, the ecosystem around github has evolved so that most folks centralize their testing and deployment code into being executed on github infrastructure. Frankly a perversion of the decentralized design of git.

Fortunately for my team, it doesn’t matter because our process requires stuff that can’t be done from github infrastructure anyway, so we have kept the automatic testing and deployment on premise even as github is the ‘canonical’ place for the code to live.

Just like the first go round…

Anyone in the line of succession that is disqualified to hold the office is skipped. Again according to the rules that the GOP might just ignore without consequence, but I don’t think they like Musk enough to bother.
