I don't like OneDrive but that's not correct. I work in broadcast news and we absolutely use OneDrive for internal and external file sharing.

Eh, could be worse.

You could have #REF! errors instead.

Even Adam Smith was pretty clear what happens when capitalism is unregulated:

We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of workmen. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject. Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate. To violate this combination is everywhere a most unpopular action, and a sort of reproach to a master among his neighbours and equals. We seldom, indeed, hear of this combination, because it is the usual, and one may say, the natural state of things, which nobody ever hears of...

The liberal reward of labour, therefore, as it is the necessary effect, so it is the natural symptom of increasing national wealth. The scanty maintenance of the labouring poor, on the other hand, is the natural symptom that things are at a stand, and their starving condition that they are going fast backwards.

So much equipment.

First you have to buy the DVD writer and then you also have to get yourself blank DVDs.

All/almost all net metering plans will still charge access and/or infrastructure fees.

Its range is also only 180 miles. The smaller battery definitely helps keep the cost down.

This car might not be for me but I definitely see its value and hope they're successful.

He didn't go to Heaven but he did go to a sort-of limbo - Sheol/Hades. Kind of like a shoe closet but for souls.

I see three possible reasons:

  • He's dead

  • El Salvador and the US don't want anyone to speak about what's going on in the prison

  • Trump wants to use this as a test. If he can get away with this, he can get away with sending most anyone.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Nah we're still stuck in the past.

We're just getting to 1939.

Yes.

But they didn't say they can't get him back. They said they won't get him back. The Trump administration argues that the courts cannot order them to bring him back to the US as he is not on US land.

My personal guess is that he's already dead. They put him in a prison with the same people who wanted to murder him.

They could still use whatever config format they wanted - this would just be for providing their config schema. It also doesn't need to be YAML, that's just the easiest one for me to type on my phone. In fact, I think most schema validation programs rely on JSON as it is.

I also don't think programs should be required to provide it. Many core programs and kernel modules would likely take years if they ever were able to add it just to avoid the risk of mistakes causing any major issues, especially if they haven't needed an update in years. There are also many config files that use their own nonstandardized schema. A possibility is that they could be allowed to provide a CLI tool which could update the config or they could just ignore it entirely.

But creating a common schema for... well, the config schema would make it easier for systems to provide a frontend interface for updating your configs.
