And many folks have headless setups
raspberry pis, home servers, VPSs, etc. It's kinda overkill to install a desktop environment on a headless box if the only reason you need it is so you can VNC into it for a simple task that could be done over ssh.
For some (most?) of us, we don't have ssh access open to the world, so everything is over a VPN. So I can just use NFS over WireGuard which afaik is fairly secure, if you trust your endpoints, and works great over the Internet.
This realization/acceptance led to us having kids.
This is obvious though
currently, you might test a drug on mice, then on primates, and finally on humans (as an example). It would be faster to skip the early bits and go straight to human testing.
...but that is very, very, very wrong. Science of course doesn't care about right and wrong, nor does it care if you "believe" in it, which is the beautiful thing about science
so a scientifically sound experiment is a scientifically sound experiment regardless of ethical considerations. (Which does not mean we should be doing it of course!)
Now, taking a step back, maybe you're right that, in the long run, throwing ethics out the window would actually slow things down, as it would (rightfully) cause backlash. But that's getting into a whole "sociology of science" discussion.
I miss the days when that X font was only associated with Xorg...
This is all based, most likely, on Griffiths' textbook. Quoting here from this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/1b97gt/magnetic_fields_do_no_work_but_magnetic_cranes/ :
The statement "magnetic fields do no work" is incorrect. Griffiths has mislead a generation of physics students on this. A correct version of the statement is that "magnetic fields do no work on objects with no magnetic moments" which is rather trivial. One could also correctly make the same statement about electric fields. However, electric monopoles are very common, so a situation in which there are no electric moments never occurs in normal circumstances.
tl;dr: use Jackson ;)
Unity centered around what?
Participation. Making things a tiny bit better when possible, and if not that, then minimizing damage.
Making things better nationally is hard. But locally, change can be efffected
my city (San Francisco) has ranked choice voting for local offices. It's awesome, and I vote for who I want first. It's small, but it's a start.
Depends on the person
when the pandemic hit I was a grad student, we didn't have kids, and our living situation was nice (tiny studio but it had a wonderful, if small, outdoor space). Scary times for sure, but life
at least the day to day
was...pretty good!
Now we have kids, and my god, I can't imagine.
Jobs created toxic work environments.
...and so did Linus Torvalds*
he's certainly not the embodiment of capitalism. But I absolutely have a huge amount of respect for Torvalds, even if I don't approve of his way of interpersonal/professional style.
(I used to run Arch btw [but I run Debian now].)
*He's supposedly taken steps in the right direction here and has made improvements.
Not sure if trolling or not, but googling around and it sounds like Sensory Processing Disorders can cause this level of passionate hatred towards bananas...
On linux you can"t install or uninstall anything if you are not root
That's not true at all. You generally can't use your distribution's package manager to install or uninstall without elevated privileges. But you can download packages, or executables with their own installer, and unpack/install under your home directory. Or, you can compile from source, and if you ./configure'd it properly make install will put it under your home.
Standard Linux distributions don't place restrictions on what you can and cannot execute; if it needs permissions for device access of course you'll need to sort that out.
I was writing up my problem set answers once, and it involved the (complex analysis) residue. I wasn't sure if there was a shortcut (as opposed to
\mathrm); googlinglatex residuedid not produce the search results I was hoping for...
