Oops. Thanks for the correction.

I hadn't heard of quadlets. I'll have to give them a look.

We've completely transitioned from docker to podman where I work. The only pain point was podman compose being immature compared to docker compose, but turns out you can run docker compose with podman using the podman socket easily.

Some of the "misleading" statements were Harris neglecting to enumerate the reasons why a stated policy goal might not succeed, which would be incredibly unusual to include in a speech of this nature.

I guess the point the author was trying to make was that saying you "will" do something in office is a promise, and if you don't have the ability to guarantee that promise can be kept you shouldn't say that thing at all? I love me some NPR but they're really bending over backwards with some of these...

Agree. I may be misunderstanding something here, but to view votes one would have to spin up their own instance. This would prevent your average abusive moron from harassing users who down voted their post/comment.

Typically, I can read an "average" open source programmers code. One of the issues I have with C++ is the standard library source seems to be completely incomprehensible.

I recently started learning rust, and the idea of being able to look at the standard library source to understand something without having to travel through 10 layers of abstraction was incredible to me.

Remind me how to do this, please. I always forget this part...

Agree with this. I think tactfully pointing out minor issues you see can be helpful because the implementor is closer to the problem and may have just overlooked the issue and can come up with a solution easily. I've been on the giving and receiving end of this, and so long as everyone is behaving professionally, it's always been helpful.

On the "tactful" note, I'll generally say something like: "I don't have a solution, but I see problem. I don't know that this is reason enough to hold up this PR. I'll leave it up to you."

Just curious, if Marianne doesn't get the Democratic nomination do you still plan on voting for the Democratic nominee?

Regardless of your feelings about Harris, (I have similar feelings) you must recognize that having her as president would be, by far, the lesser evil when compared to Trump especially if you're concerned about excessive imprisonment / decriminalization of marijuana.

Yeah. Back in the day my first smartphone was the one plus one. That was back when they were half the price of the flagships. It's not that way anymore, unfortunately.

Yeah. My first smartphone was a OnePlus One. That thing was great. Back then they were coming in at half the price of the bigger flagships with no shitware. Not the case anymore unfortunately.

Yep. I use both quite a bit. Chocolatey is great!

The point Im trying to make is package managers are better suited for developers and the lack of a great alternative for installing software on the distros I've used is not helping with the mass appeal of Linux.

I could be wrong here as I've never tried any of the "home computer" distros (mint, ubuntu).
