I use Linux all day every day for development. I have to put up with these issues:

1. Half the time the thing won't unsuspend. It gets stuck loading the nVidia drivers. This is the worst issue; it has gone on for 5+ years on multiple distros. It is not fixed in the current driver nor the current systemd nor the 6.1 kernel.
2. Gnome has some strange focus issues. It allows focus coloring in non-focused text boxes. Making a new folder from a save dialog is wonky.
3. I have to boot into Windows to play XCOM2. I'm hoping the newer Vulcan stuff can change that, that game devs will start targeting Vulcan. My kids play more games than me, so I can't have them switch to Linux. Also, there are better parental controls for Windows.
4. I have to change printer settings through the web GUI as the Gnome printer GUI doesn't persist, I always get double-sided printing no matter what I select, and several of the printer drivers I have to use take half an hour per page to print.

I haven't had package conflicts or update failures in an age; we've made good progress there.

You're claiming that Mao and Stalin are religionists?

Belief without evidence? That may be true of some believers who are there for social reasons alone, but in general it's not true. Most religionists enjoy benefit from their actions. For example, they may feel happier or more purposeful. Their days may go better when they pray or read scripture, in a way that is noticeable. It's just that the evidence is more difficult to transfer. The only form of transfer is verbal testimony; it requires others to go run the experiment for themselves.

Real Christians recognize that Christ left his comfy premortal spot, was born in the humblest of circumstances, lived contrary to the ideas of man, feared no political action, visited the ill, called out the hypocrites, and took upon himself the pains and mistakes of all mankind. He's THE EXAMPLE of not social distancing, of not doing what everyone else is doing, of not fearing people.

No need to control altitude; I think it would be a rush to cruise the world in Skywalker's landspeeder. Flying up and through the Rockies where I grew up would be a real pleasure.

I've used GitLab and Bitbucket in addition GitHub. GitLab seems nice. I like it. What is the community's level of trust on GitLab? Bitbucket seems, like Jira and other products from Atlassian, too heavy (er, slow) for what it does. I don't like their UI flow in Jira, not even their latest updates; I often struggle to find things. I considered moving away from GitHub in times past just because their search ability has been so terrible.

We have to take it step farther than "quick, multiple diagnosis". The various chemical levels in the body fluctuate with time and vary drastically with input. I want to strap a device onto/into my arm for a week and monitor 300 levels over the time period. Allow everyone to see their data and use the internet to analyze it. Even simply monitoring acidity over time would be a helpful start. How do you analyze a website? How do you debug/profile your software? Why can't I do that with my body? We need to get the body's data on screen -- let everyone see their own data and question it, publicly or privately. Timeseries data is step one. A pill to measure gastrointestinal bacteria, protein breakdown and absorption is step two. Nerve traffic monitoring is step three. A real and usable microscope on my cell phone with image recognition is step four.

The inequality of badly-run or corrupt states is boosted by the power of technology
I call B.S. on that. Technology is the only thing keeping the poor man in the game. Technology is the only thing keeping inflation from running out of control.

These things boost the corrupt states and increase the gap between the rich and the poor:
1. Apathetic populaces.
2. Fiat money payment requirements.
3. Central banks that can inflate at will (that also loan money).
4. The ability of corrupt nations and dictators to borrow money from said banks or other overly-anxious capitalists (who probably have elitist bankers as parents).
5. Laws that make investing money difficult or elitist.
6. Minimum wage laws.
7. Governments that pay off the money they borrow with more borrowed money.

Dear ESPN: I will pay you directly $30 per year to watch college football online. I don't care to see any other sports. I want live or historical access to all football games you film/broadcast//capture.

I'll be voting for Darrell Castle and Scott Bradley (Constitution Party). As is commonly said: it's better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it. It's a great year to go 3rd-party. I wish everyone would -- which if they did it would actually work. The only thing I don't care for from the Constitution Party is their protectionism, but I can deal with that. I've known Scott Bradley for years. His morality is flawless and his principles firm.

Groups are a neglected feature of Facebook. They seem to not understand the "communities can come together" concept. They focus on "communities around the popular" rather than equal participation groups. If Facebook would, uh, lift a few ideas from group management and layout inside G+, the latter would die an ignominious death. If we could just merge and fork groups on Facebook we might have something...

Idaho Falls, ID, and Logan, UT, both have plenty of tech job openings, plenty of rural living, relatively low housing cost, all the amenities, etc. I work near Logan. Every month at our valley Software Craftsmanship Club meeting people come asking "anyone want to switch companies this month?"

I work for a company that automates vehicles (ASI). We specifically target controlled operating environments like vehicle proving grounds, mines, and commercial harvesting operations. These places all have one thing in common: ten foot fences (aka, no toddlers in the vicinity).

The biggest struggle we have had is obstacle detection; it only works at distances less than 50m. The various vision devices aren't accurate enough beyond that range (or get lost in smoke, fog, dust, shakiness, etc.) And differentiating small objects (aka, 20cm cube) from standard terrain is neigh impossible with current technologies. The algorithms used to process that information can't run in real-time on embedded hardware.

I'm excited for a lot of recent progress in electronic vehicle control. Look for your favorite auto-manufacturer to introduce electronically controlled steering, transmissions, and throttle over the next few years. The pedals, knobs, and wheels will soon be fancy computer joysticks.

Two options: ignorance or mandated information? Really? 3rd-party certification has been working great on gluten-free products. There's a huge market for non-GMO certifiers -- if they can get past the big corporations in bed with the legislators and the general apathy rampant throughout the world.

GMO food complications are not contagious. Therefore, it should fall to personal choice for me and my family. It should not be a part of government action one way or the other. (As I understand it, the main concerns are the potential of damaged proteins or partial bacteria DNA embedment -- both of which would trigger an immune reaction in many people. These are side-effects of how the genetic material is injected. We need better injection methods: go go gadget RNA rewriter.)

After I teleport to Disneyland I'll take their Jedi training course with real light sabers.
