If Windows 12 becomes subscription-based, Google and Apple will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Not just any high-profile funeral. San Francisco is Pelosi's constituency. She represents San Francisco in the House of Representatives, so if any member of Congress has a good excuse to be absent, it's her.

I figured it out. I need to run resize2fs afterwards. I ran sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/luks-5e5f911c... and that solved the issue.

Speaking of, a local Oriental store gives me a free bottle of oyster sauce when I buy $100 worth of groceries. I collected 5 bottles of oyster sauce before even finishing the first one and I tried offering them to my grandma but she said she had like ten bottles of oyster sauce too. The next time I went there I asked the clerk if they had anything other than oyster sauce, and they said "nope" and put another bottle of oyster sauce in my bag.

Getting a C/C++ compiler on Windows is a menace. To my knowledge, there are two ways to do it. Either install Visual Studio which will also install the MSVC compiler, or wrangle with MinGW to get GCC.

In the first-year CS classes I attended, the instructions were usually to either get WSL and install the gcc package or to connect using SSH to the engineering server (CentOS 7) which has it pre-installed.

Am I stupid? This adds up to 96%. It can't be a rounding error since it's more than 3% off.

I hate that "confirmation bias" have become moo words with people nowadays.

The logic is pretty sound:

• A company that does business in the United States must comply with American laws.
• It is forbidden under American law for a company that operates from the United States to do business with Iran.
• The company, through its child, shipped oil from Iran.
• American authorities, enforcing American law, ordered the company to divert the ship and turn over the oil for confiscation because the shipment was illegal.
• Oil is confiscated.

I remark that sanctions do not require the approval of the United Nations. Under customary international law, it is an application of sovereign authority. Any country can apply sanctions and can do so in any way you like. What the USA has said is that "if you want to do business here, we forbid you from doing business with Iran".

Same here. It seems she just pops up every so often, says something stupid, then disappears again into the woodwork.

The existence of a way to get around the problem doesn't mean the problem is solved. If a lot of people want to do this, then it should be easier to do and obvious how to do it

I love and use GNOME daily, but I think it's still the case that the interface "needs some getting used to" for a Windows/MacOS user. The design paradigm is just not familiar or self-explanatory to anyone who has regularly used desktop computers in the past decade.

Libraries can do that. Okay, technically, it's illegal, but under the doctrine of sovereign immunity, since US libraries are run by political subdivisions of US states, they can't be sued with the state's permission which means that a state government can literally not allow the library to be sued for copyright infringement and then they'd get away with it.

The trade-off is that this probably permanently burns all bridges between the library and publishers, who would likely not want to deal with the library any more.

Edit: The controlling US Supreme Court precedent is Allen v. Cooper. The State of North Carolina published a bunch of shipwreck photos. The copyright owner of those photos sued claiming copyright infringement. The Supreme Court ruled in favour of the state saying Congress can't abrogate a state's Amendment XI sovereign immunity using copyright law as a pretext, thus the photography firm needs the State's permission to sue it in federal court.
