I see the nuance you are making now and I agree.

SaaS does feel like technofeudalism where you pay but don’t own shit, a bit like fiefs working in the field and giving wheat in exchange for a land that they don’t own.

I mean, rent seeking is the best case scenario for a capitalist. You just insert yourself in the supply chain without much investment and get money for simply being in the chain.

My point is that postal service shouldn’t be run as a private company that absolutely needs to turn a profit, just like healthcare for example.

Conservatives love to treat Canada Post as a private company because they can then tell everyone how unprofitable it is and must be dismantled and sold off to private interests. And then, it will cost even more for less services

Or, hear me out, some services don’t have to be profitable, like sending put parcels and letters within a country, healthcare or public transportation. Essential services you know.

Instead of giving money to mega corpos for them to pocket it, we could pay for services that benefit the citizens, just like China is doing for postal services.

What’s even worse is that the train wasn’t in bumfuck nowhere, so there is no excuse for not providing a transportation out of the train to the destination.

Or at the very least, have someone bring food and water.

Makes sense. Posix was created a long time ago and there are most probably some features that could be changed

I knew the asteroid one, but it still baffles my mind to this day.

What part of posix is redox trying to get away from?

Depends what you want in an OS. The increasingly invasive ads and loss of control in Windows is overwhelmingly a good enough reason for me. But it is not the case for everyone.

Linux has its quirks, and it’s a different approach to an OS in general, so it can be intimidating if you only want an office machine.

I don’t know about NS, but here in QC there are too many cooks in the administrative layer of health care. Too much money is going to the people that bring a lot less value than they cost.

We always have a big reform every 10-15 years or so to consolidate more and more service in the same mega structure, but it always add more administrative layers instead of adding boots where it matters.

I hope that every province can turn around and put the money where it really matters instead of more administrative employees.

Then fucking force companies to reinvest then. Tax the shit out of profits unless it is reinvested back into the economy through their employees and any other mean.

Corpos are quick to suckle at the government tit for subventions that they don’t need, but when comes the time to give back to their community, crickets.

Maintenance cost too much, so the cut corners. Then a holiday happens and the trains are used more, so they break because the maintenance was shit.

It’s a decent starting point for a new language. I had to learn webdev as an embedded C coder, and using a LLM and cross-referencing the official documentation makes a new language much more approachable.

It’s going in forced arbitration. Big difference here.

If both parties agreed to do arbitration, it would be dandy.

But nowadays, the government is eager to shut down any strike with special laws sprinkled with bullshit, and fuck over the workers’ right to strike.

I’m from Quebec and we have this character called Elvis Gratton and one of his famous line is “Ils l’ont l’affaire les americains” or in bastardized English “Americans know what they are doing”.

Elvis Gratton is a caricature of a typical man of that era where a lot of Quebecers were enamored with the US. At that time in the US, it was the golden era of the American dream (but we know how it turned out).

When I see conservatives spreading their bullshit, it reminds me of that character which is not very intelligent and how pervasive the US conservative propaganda is in Canada.

They sell ibuprofen with acetaminophen at the pharmacy, off the shelf, so that’s not an issue.

It is recommended to alternate between the two so that you are always under the effect of either one and it reduces the pain throughout the day, instead of having big spikes of pain/no-pain.

I should recheck newer datasheets, but I still see master/slave nomenclature in STM32 doc and tools for example.

Not every domain though. I still see master/slave in every relevant datasheets that I read, and I’ve never seen primary/secondary in newer datasheets.

Recruiters are the equivalent of used car salesperson.

You are fighting millions of years of evolution. If you are in caloric deficit for too long, your body thinks you don’t have food near you anymore and try to conserve whatever energy you have.

Take a diet break and up your calories slightly daily until you see yourself gaining a little bit of weight. Then cut back the last increase.

Keep that calorie intake for a few weeks and then start a new cut after that. Rinse and repeat until you are at your goal weight.

Ab easy rule of thumb is to do a weight cut for 6-12 weeks, and then do a maintenance weight for the same length of time you did your cut.
