> You still cannot crtl+V in the terminal

The more poignant issues might be that there's inconsistencies around UI here. Some terminals allow that directly (Kitty), others require Ctrl+shift+v (Gnome shell, iirc Powershell and Konsole).

To be fair, the best non-windows OS likely is MacOS. It has software support for a lot of commercial prosumer stuff, e. G., Adobe, and has a convenient and stable 3rd Party offering for Windows VMs (Parallels).

As a Linux user it seems like there is a lot to learn in regard to UI consistency from both though (maybe less from Windows). Gnome and KDE are probably moving in the right direction here but it is still a bit off sometimes.

What is it about coding that you enjoy? Do you like perfecting the code? Do you like creating a finished product that’s useful to people? Do you like solving difficult puzzles?

At 3 years, you’re probably leaving behind the part of your career where you learn to write good code at the function/class/small module level and entering the part where the learning is about design and architecture of larger systems and libraries. This is also the point where at many companies you’ll start to be expected to engage more with what the product is and the ultimate problems you’re solving for the user.

Are those new areas of learning less interesting to you? More interesting?

It’s not a “fumble”, because “Linux” is not a company trying to sell as many units as possible.

As you said, it works for the people who make it. Why does it need to do anything else? Linux desktop conquering the world is just an old Slashdot trope, it’s not something anyone is actually working to achieve in real life.

> their strategy has been reduced to "run towards the enemy and hopefully some of you won't be killed and thus we can capture another field"?

Is this seriously the depth of your understanding of Russian tactics (what you described isn't a strategy to begin with...). I recommend watching every tactical analysis video on Mark Tacacs YT channel (he's a NATO military officer, not some pro-RU source):

1. Ads

2. Built-in cloud AI spyware / Copilot

3. Millions of abandoned laptops that had been made 4-5+ years ago. Basically electronic and ecological waste: machines from 10 years ago work perfectly fine if you change thermal paste and don't hit them too much. Even if you don't care about the planet, you might care about your wallet though.

This is incorrect. NASA even carried out an internal study on this exact topic. [1]

Everything NASA does is trying to shoehorn in Boeing one way or another because they have tremendous political influence, but there's really no reason for them to be involved at all from a technical point of view. And in fact if they weren't, then we indeed probably would have long since already put boots on the Moon again. But because they are involved, I suspect an appropriate timeline for success is: never, with a whole lot of money spent getting there.

You can say the same about most science research. In fact, many people do say the same, scrutinizing many different avenues of research as pointless. There are countless examples of "pointless" research ending up being useful.

(Note that it's much more legitimate to scrutinize scientific research, since it's mostly publicly funded, as opposed to VCs investing in startups.)

> Overall it is not efficient use of resources or time to me.

I mean, the tech world has done a lot of good and advanced humanity a lot. More than most industries, IMO. Most of that is by inventing new things. A society could dial down useless spending by dialing down innovation, but it's not clear to me that there's a way to get more innovation with less waste than the current system.

I think many industries are far more of an "inefficient use of resources". I think if the world as a whole would spend 10x more on scientific and technological advancement, at the cost of less e.g. fashion, less investment in entertainment, less investment in (some forms of) finance, etc, the world would be far better off. (I'm not advocating that this should be forced on society, just stating my opinion on what a more optimal way of allocating resources would be.)

You mean, "I have no revenue and no business model but I was the CTO of one of the most important technical companies of this generation, we put out one of the fastest growing SaaS products of all time in a completely new technical category."- not sure how much more signal you would need than that. I don't really get why anyone would be confused about why they are throwing money at her. It's an extremely large amount of money, but it's not as if she has no track record.

It is a bubble, of course, but this person would get $100m round in a non-bubble.

Utter nonsense. The scale of disruption with LLMs is almost unfathomable. Every small business in the country has basically abandoned the big platforms and expensive enterprises for IT support, marketing and digital content creation, HR, legal...

Patients are having detailed conversations about their health with LLMs. Office visits for routine questions are plummeting.

Software is written almost entirely by LLMs, producing a greater volume of code in a fraction of the time.

Rapidly, we are approaching a point where there is no need for junior employees in most organizations. It's not industry-specific, it's universal. This will reshape corporate Big Four accounting, software engineering, and medicine because revenue will shift so dramatically.

This is not just some marginally more effective use of computing resources.

I might be a bit contrarian on this.

I think the biggest obstacle in the Linux world is people knee jerk recommending Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/outdated linux.

If people rallied around the current SOTA, Fedora, we would've hit 5% a few years ago.

The variety of distros cause people to get confused, and go with the most heavily marketed distros, Ubuntu flavors. Just because Ubuntu gave away free CDs 20 years ago, doesnt make them good. It makes them good at marketing.

People confuse Fedora with Arch, which is terrible. People confuse Ubuntu with 'stable like a table', instead of 'outdated stable'.

We almost need a reduction in favored distros. Out with the complexity: Fedora for desktop. It has all the DEs too.

My perspective is that the Steam Deck significantly contributes to this increase.

Additionally, a smaller factor could be the growing trend of Dev and Op professionals moving from Macs to Linux. And the trend before, to move from Windows to Mac's because they are cheaper to administrate. This shift is supported by manufacturers like Dell and Lenovo, who are providing more devices with Linux pre-installed, aligning well with the supply chain requirements of IT departments.

Also, at least for me, it's hard to envision vendors specialising in Linux desktop hardware, such as Tuxedo, Framework, and System76, experiencing a surge in their market shares. I am very curious to see their numbers and the kind of people and companies that buy this products.

dumb, sick, stupid, other adjectives - generally not negative although could be in the right context - both in the Australian and North West England (where Matt was from) context. Just watch out for being called a fucking cunt. In almost all cases that one is pretty unambiguous. I do remember at one point having a conversation with Matt about how handling East Coast and West Coast North Americans was quite a different proposition from a cultural perspective, also related to this thread.

Matt would have liked this discussion. And given that his and my mutual friend has some actual legitimate serious expertise on obscenity in the English language even more so.

In the early 2000s when I was interning the office had black men of a certain age who still wore the jheri curl. Even though we made jheri curl jokes in middle/high school, after it had become unfashionable, you weren't going to make the same jokes in front of these guys. The typical profile at the time: late 30s/40s, veteran, logistics or CDL holder, motorcyclist (typically Harley or Goldwing), and devoutly religious. Sometimes people find the style, trend, or community they like and just go all in on it.

I don't think Vast.ai does "shared GPUs", you can only rent full rigs, at least there is no indication the hardware is shared between multiple users at the same time.

But I think services like Runpod and similar lets you rent "1/6 of a GPU per hour" for example, which would be "shared hosting" basically, as there would be multiple users using the same hardware at the same time.

The people I know that were using special dashes since before AI were all technical and precise writers (which is probably why they paid attention to it in the first place).

I've never seen this unique mix of listicle-like light-hearted fluff with emojis AND special dashes written by humans. LLMs seem to love it, though.

This is bordering conspiracy theory. Thousands of people are getting novel breakthroughs generated purely by LLM an not a single person discloses such result? Not even one of the countless LLM corporation engineers who depend on the billion dollar IV injections from deluded bankers just to continue surviving, and not one has bragged about LLM doing that revolution? Hard to believe.

When we say outdated, we mean the version of the kernel and other software. Not the first time it came out.

When referring to the terminal, these are 1 time events every 12 months. Its not really a huge deal on Fedora because you basically don't need the terminal. On Ubuntu, its a much bigger deal given how many things are broken and need to be repaired.

As an early adopter and developer of a couple of service oriented capsules, as time went by my interest faded completely. I'm a strong advocate of live and let live, so this is not a critique or discouragement post, but rather my own perspective.

Like many have mentioned already, I personally would have preferred pure markdown and no gemtext at all. Similarly, and although I understand the reasoning behind making encryption mandatory, I believe it should be optional in the spirit of KISS. I'm more of a minimalist than I am a privacy evangelist. In this regard, I felt a bit out of place within the gemini community.

Finally, the argument that it takes a new protocol to avoid a broken user experience, often exemplified by someone jumping from a simple and well behaved HTTP website into a chaotic one, doesn't resonate much with me. Again, I get it, but I can live with visiting only the websites or gopherholes I want. This comes with a great advantage. Even if we consider just the minimalist and well designed websites, this means hoards of content when compared to all gemini capsules. I missed a broader set of topics when I used gemini and ultimately that was what killed my interest.

All that said, I loved it while I used it and I stumbled upon some really nice people. Maybe I'll fall in love again one day...

So I run a small robotics startup and kept chasing updates. We used Plane.so, but tracking progress meant digging through comments. It took time away from real work.

I was not trying to micromanage, just needed clarity without bothering the team.

So I built Infersync. It connects to Plane, shows who is working on what, and lets teammates clock in on tasks. It is quieter, clearer, and cuts out unnecessary check-ins.

We have used it for a few weeks. Monday.com and other tool integrations are coming soon.

If your team works async or wants fewer updates, I would love your feedback. What feels unclear or missing?

It's a model of a realistic scenario. Hackers (like in the article), long running ransomware that managed to corrupt lots of data, maybe a natural disaster. So by "wiping all data storage units" I meant the dynamic ones used in production. You can assume a static backup exists and contains a sensible set of sources and binaries, although obviously creating such a backup is part of the recovery plan.

These analyses are highly questionable. NASA has a long reputation of being highly inefficient for good reasons. SpaceX did a much better job at optimizing cost in a way that NASA never could have, so it raises the obvious point: how much better would ROI have been in a world where private spaceflight was incentivized earlier? The answer isn't obviously in NASA's favour.

(3) wasn't relevant (or even really true) in 1977-1983 when Ada was being standardized.

MS-DOS was mostly x86 assembly, Classic MacOS was a mix of 68k assembly and Pascal, CP/M was written in PL/M, UCSD P-System was Pascal, and this leaves out all of the OS Options for the Apple II - none of which were written in C. I'm hard pressed to identify a PC OS from that time period that was written in C, other than something Unix derived (and even sometimes the unix derived things were not C, Domain/OS for example was in Pascal).

If we leave the PC space, it gets even less true - TOPS10/20 NotC, RSX-11 NotC, VMS also NotC - and I can keep going from there - the only OS from the time period that I can point at from that time period that was C is UNIX.

I'd actually argue that C/C++ were not enshrined as the defacto systems programming languages until the early-90's - by that time Ada had lost for reasons (1) and (2) that you noted.

Only if an attacker can (1) identify a piece of exploitable data that the GPU firmware or kernel mode portion of the driver relies on, (2) ascertain its location at runtime, and (3) obtain a physically adjacent block of memory.

I'm not certain that something which satisfies 1, let alone 3, necessarily exists. On the CPU you flip some bits related to privilege levels. Are any analogous and similarly exploitable data structures maintained by common GPU firmware? And if so, is such data stored in the bulk VRAM?

It wouldn't surprise me if it was possible but it also seems entirely unrealistic given that either you are restricted to an API such as webgl (gl;hf) or you have native access in which case you have better options available to you seeing as the driver stacks are widely rumored to be security swiss cheese (if you doubt this look at how much effort google has invested in sandboxing the "real" GPU driver away from apps on chromeos).

No different than investment banks in the US loaning money to ukraine so they can get patriot missiles. This generates two income streams for the US ( interest payments on the debt and money to RTX for the missiles). Trump gets a cut on both of these monies (tax on income).

This is why the Us is pro Israel as well. They are a good customer to the military industrial complex.

Now if we could only get japan, ASEAN, S.Korea into a conflict w China over taiwan we could ramp up this model - but we’ll need to build drone factories to usurp the the cheap turkish, polish, ukrainian, and russian suppliers.

And the additional bonus is that all this has to be transacted in dollars giving our currency preeminence so we can print more of them and not suffer inflation- even tho there are more dollars chasing the same goods- its happening symmetrically around the world because everyone has to use them.

After installing Arch / Gnome on my laptop last week, I can see why. Everything works completely fine and feels 3X faster than Windows 11. I have Linux on my desktop machine but always hesitated for laptops due to past bad experiences with power management (i.e. something always eventually went wrong when closing the lid). So far, all of that is working perfectly.

Which would come from the person that’s trying to login, right?

I don’t think I understand the problem. Person A tries to log in; B receives a magic link, does not click it but forward it to A; A clicks it and gets logged in.

I’ve done this myself successfully, even with services pinning the link to A’s client IP (which is a bad idea anyway in an age of privacy proxies, CG-NATs, dynamic IPs etc.)

Windows 11 not working on otherwise perfectly good PCs I imagine is at least a small part of it. I've got an 8-core Ryzen system I think from 2016 that's still very powerful and more than good enough for my needs, but Microsoft is insisting I "throw it away and buy a new one", in this economy no less!

I also think a number of influencers like PewDiePie moving to Linux has to have moved the needle at least a little as well.

Additionally, as long as you don't set strict-order, dnsmasq will automatically use all-servers for retries.

If you were using systemd-resolved however, it retries all servers in the order they were specified, so it's important to interleave upstreams.

Using the servers in the above example, and assuming IPv4 + IPv6:

1.1.1.1 2001:4860:4860::8888 9.9.9.9 2606:4700:4700::1111 8.8.8.8 2620:fe::fe 1.0.0.1 2001:4860:4860::8844 149.112.112.112 2606:4700:4700::1001 8.8.4.4 2620:fe::9

will failover faster and more successfully on systemd-resolved, than if you specify all Cloudflare IPs together, then all Google IPs, etc.

Also note that Quad9 is default filtering on this IP while the other two or not, so you could get intermittent differences in resolution behavior. If this is a problem, don't mix filtered and unfiltered resolvers. You definitely shouldn't mix DNSSEC validatng and not DNSSEC validating resolvers if you care about that (all of the above are DNSSEC validating).

One of my favorites, and much as I love Gibson, I think Butler gets far too little attention and he gets too much. And not only does he get too much attention, he gets too much attention for Neuromancer. The Parable of the Sower is a more interesting and intellectually mature book, as is much of Gibson’s later work.

Raises the moral question of what kind of living is worth it, and on what level is it okay to impose on one another. Looking at how families from teen pregnancies fare*, I'm absolutely positive that mitigating these is far from the biggest contributor to "societal collapse". Doing anything to raise this number is not going to do society any good, even if it results is a larger number of children on paper. Taking proper care of this situation is not any kind of coddling, more like basic human decency.

What gestures are you talking about? I think you can turn those off, and I’d be surprised if there isn’t a way to turn off the rest with a 3rd party or custom tool.

Application notarization isn’t a problem anymore- you just have a single accept dialog. That problem that made you do a trick to get past it was only a problem years ago, due to whomever the moron was that thought that was a good idea. The current way is acceptable.

> The last time people hit the streets for police accountability the political backlash got us a convict in the white house.

I'm confused by your timeline here. Trump was already president when the George Floyd / ACAB protests happened. He then lost his reelection in the direct aftermath of those protests. It was only after four years of Biden/Harris being wet noodles and then Biden dropping out of the race to leave Trump facing a woman (again) did he win a reelection.

Error 404: critical thinking not found in your comment.

Have you seen the requirements, physical and mental tests fighter pilots need to pass? What makes you think people who've been beaten into submission by the military recruiters during forced conscription would then be mentally and physically fit to be entrusted with a super expensive and dangerous weapon in the sky?

Ukrainian men have been caught fighting or even boobytrapping the vans of the military recruiters in order to avoid conscription or as revenge against their brutal tactics. Would you then give those guys a 50 Million USD jet armed with bombs and missiles after you beat them into submission to join the military? That's like beating your wife and then giving her the keys to your expensive Mercedes. What do you think is gonna happen then with your Mercedes/jet?

The "Once in a hundred year" saying is misunderstood. It's actually 1% chance each year. So you roll your D100 every spring.

Whether that's an acceptable risk is up to you. Having lived in central Texas, it's a region known for it's flash floods, and you should take the warnings seriously. If there's heavy rainfall - you should be asking where all that water will go.

In this case, I hope that Texas looks into upgrading their alerting system so that people get word in time to leave the area. The news was saying the weather center added additional staff for the storm (five meteorologists) but if their forecasts can't get to where they're needed, that's not good enough.
