Are you trying to No True Scotsman the Korean Empire? They’re on the list! They even lasted longer (by 1 year) than Nazi Germany did as an empire!
Anyway I’d encourage you to look at the list. There have been many empires in history. You don’t have to be one of the “great empires” (such as the Kushite Empire) to be on the list.
buried deep in the American zeitgeist
I think you mean American psyche. Zeitgeist means the spirit of the times. It usually refers to the present way of thinking or the way things were at one time.
The American psyche is much more of a timeless thing, stretching all the way back to the attitudes and beliefs of the founding fathers when they drafted the Declaration of Independence. Norman Rockwell’s paintings, Robert Frost’s poems, John Steinbeck’s books, the games of baseball and (gridiron) football. These are just some of the cultural artifacts said to be part of the American psyche.
Not a woman but I just turned 41 recently. Here’s the secret to life from here on out:
While your body keeps changing (slowly) your mind really doesn’t. So you’re going to feel the same as you always did! This is pretty cool!
The issue is with creating more work for others. Supporting a multi-language toolchain and build environment is a lot more work than a single language one. The R4L folks have made it their mission to shoehorn Rust into the kernel and they’ve explicitly stated that they will not avoid making more work for others. This has upset some longterm maintainers who did not sign up for additional workload.
Linus Torvalds has been accused of many things but he has always been loyal to his best maintainers. That’s been a big key to his success.
Nothing like a more important task to do to motivate me to get a lot of cleaning done!
Director wasn’t sure if he even wanted to continue with it. The end of the 2nd film is caught up to the end of the first book. So now we will be entering book 2 territory. The story gets quite weird from here on out.
I used to be really frustrated with 2 party systems. Now I realize that each party is a coalition of special interest groups that only care about their narrow special interests and otherwise vote the party line on everything else.
Multi-party PR systems like Israel are basically the same thing, except the coalitions are explicit instead of informal. You vote for your favourite special interest party and they join a coalition to represent that interest but otherwise vote the “party line” on everything else.
Another reason to prefer self-checkout. People in line get fanned out across multiple machines.
I’ve already seen that. I watch all of Alec’s videos. He’s not a chef so needless to say I’m skeptical.
Depends on what you cook. I’d never want induction for Asian cooking. Gas is the best for cooking with a wok. All you need is a wok ring to swap out the flat grate.
However induction is pretty great for European cooking, simmering sauces and stuff.
He also said:
the impression words form in the reader is more important than their intent
He didn’t intend for the master/slave connotation. He intended for the recording master connotation. Either way, he regrets using the word master and he’s supportive of the change.
Not according to pasky, the git contributor who picked the names.
Yes exactly. It’s a reference to the recording industry’s practice of calling the final version of an album the “master” which gets sent for duplication.
This, except all the fires are going on outside the windows of the therapist’s office, to the horizon, as far as the eye can see.
The governor of California is way more powerful than the governor of Wyoming.
Peter Thiel may have been successful in business but he’s no economist. For a government official like the governor, there’s way more wealth to be gained by encouraging competition than suppressing it.
The one thing OP is missing is the type of shrimp. Don’t bother with food shrimp. That’s unprofitable! The real money is in fancy aquarium shrimp like these:
Just gotta cut him in on a share of the profits. He’ll be your best friend in that case!
You have run out of substantive things to say. Fair enough!
