So an O’Neil cylinder exploits rotation to simulate gravity. When set up properly it feels just like gravity we’re used to here on earth. That should at least help curb the effects of microgravity. Radiation shouldn’t be much of a problem as people would be living on the inside of the cylinder with meters of material between them and outer space.

Are you using a VPN?

Strange, I just tried and got the vi suggestion. And, googling vi gave me an emacs suggestion. So shade all around!

If i3 was a bit too involved for you but you generally like the idea of a tiling window manager you might prefer AwesomeWM.

That’s really only native compiled languages. Many popular languages, such as C#, Java, etc. Lie somewhere in between. They get compiled to intermediary byte code and only go native as the very final step when running. They run in a runtime environment that handles that final step to execute the code natively. For .NET languages that’s the CLR (Common Language Runtime).

For .Net the process goes like this:

• You write the code
• Code is compiled to MSIL
• At runtime when the MSIL is executing a JIT (just-in-time) compiler translates the MSIL into native code.
• The native code is executed.

Java has a similar process that runs on the JVM. This includes many, many languages that run on the JVM.

JavaScript in the browser goes through a similar process these days without the intermediary byte code. Correction, JS in modern browsers also follow this process almost exactly. a JIT compiler compiles to bytecode which is then executed by the browser’s JS engine. Historically JS has been entirely interpreted but that’s no longer the case. Pure interpreted languages are pretty few and far between. Most we think of as interpreted are actually compiled, but transparently as far as the dev is concerned.

Last, but certainly not least, Python is also a compiled language, it’s just usually transparent to the developer. When you execute a python program, the python compiler also produces an intermediary bytecode that is then executed by the python runtime.

All that being said, I welcome any corrections or clarifications to what I’ve written.

The only issue I have with freetube is that I sometimes like to click on the recommended videos on YouTube’s front page. If I switch to freetube entirely, I’ll lose that. But if uBlock doesn’t continue to work I will make the switch and the YouTubers I wouldn’t normally see just won’t get my views any longer.

Probably just lucky. They didn’t roll it out to all Firefox users at once. I got it several days after other Firefox users started reporting getting the popup. I followed the instructions to update my quick fix list in uBlock and it’s gone again. However, the first time I did it it came back after a day, so it may just be a never ending game of whack a mole.

I’m currently using KDE Plasma with i3. I like it fine. I love i3, and KDE works to tie everything together and add consistency for theming. Previously I was using i3 on XFCE, that was easier to set up. Plasma tends to require special configuration to make it play nice with i3, but once you’re over that hump it makes for a pretty decent combination.

It’s not actually a mistake. It’s a word that has been in use for 200+ years with its first recorded use in 1795. It’s controversial, but it appears in dictionaries and is a synonym for regardless. Love it or hate it language changes with time and when enough people use a word it becomes a part of the language.

I hate it too, but irregardless has officially been a word in dictionaries for years now.

Yeah, I just commented to another user about the same things. Seems they’re doing some A/B testing or something like it. No worries, I understand uBlock has an update available that addresses it already.

There’s no test group

They are almost certainly talking about a test group on YouTube, not uBlock Origin. Sites do that sometimes, it’s called A/B Testing. Where different users will get different versions of the site to test something or other before changes are rolled out for all users.

Seems to still be working for me. At least I haven’t encountered any notices yet.

I don’t actually use it myself as a calendar. I use org-mode for notes, todos and from time to time timing things I’m working on. But it has way more features than that right out of the box. But sadly, I can’t really offer much in the way of advice for sync or anything like that.

Emacs Org-Mode is pretty powerful, but can be a bit of challenge to learn at first.

That’s not true these days. You can try it yourself right in your browser’s dev console.

These results are from Firefox’s console.

0 == null == undefined
> false
0 == null
> false
0 == undefined
> false
null == undefined
> true
null === undefined
> false

And even in the one case where == says they are the same, you can fix that by making sure you are using === so that it doesn’t do type coercion for the comparison.

I ended up googling cancel prime membership, and that led me to a page with a cancel button.

Many of the other comments on this post are misinformed and based on past versions of Godot. But Godot has recently had an update that has focused primarily on improving it’s 3D support. I get the impression that many people looked into Godot version 3.x, and never bothered to look any further. It’s true that it’s not as mature as Unity, but that takes time and it will eventually get there. But people are unfairly disregarding, at the moment based on past versions being focused on excellent 2D support but mediocre 3D support.

If you want that block quote to format correctly, don’t indent the >. That way it will turn out like this, instead of a single line that can’t fit on the screen without scrolling (some mobile clients like Sync, probably show it alright, but the web client certainly doesn’t.):

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

It wasn’t the difficulty, but the change in game play. I knew about the setting to do automatic crusade, but didn’t end up trying it.
