A Linux system with Gnome comes with good defaults, too. The difference is that with Linux you can use XMonad if you so wish, but don't pretend that that is what a new user faces.

> Yeah. "Lenovo is friendly" is not a very compelling argument. Their support and sales are miserable. Their machines are unimpressive. Their supported versions of Linux are years out of date.

I don't care about sales, and they publish excellent hardware maintenance manuals which means that I don't need to rely on their support. You say that their machines are unimpressive, but I don't share that sentiment. They're not flashy, sure. But they're rock-solid and take a lot of abuse. You can drop them or spill liquids on the keyboard, and your system will be fine. Just wait a minute for your drink to come back out at the bottom. And despite that, they're still pretty light. I think they're quite impressive.

>> Battery life? My x230 with tpm installed gets 6 hours of battery life on the stock battery.

You're comparing a 5-year old computer to a brand new one. Apples and oranges.

Never had a sleep issue with my ThinkPad, ever. There is no vendor support for Linux.

That's a Ubuntu issue, not a general one, and they should really offer an option to do this automatically. There's no excuse not to. But that's hardly a big issue, is it?

But tell me, does Windows auto-remove the remains of failed updates automatically now? Because during the Christmas holidays, I used the disk cleanup tool to remove several Gigabytes of them from a family member's Windows 10 computer.
I don't know exactly to what the 24000 number refers to. Solus Project does already have 5000 packages in the repos. I think that is quite an accomplishment for a pretty small team of 3-4 people with some help from the community.
By not asking for a license? Does a newspaper stand have a license for the content it sells?

Disclaimer: I may be an idiot.
Have you tried any of the apps they're claiming are superior? I would argue Sketch is compared to Inkscape, and Pixelmator is compared to Gimp. For someone who is mostly messing around casually and just for fun, Inkscape and Gimp are great. They give you most of the tools you need or want, but not always in a straightforward way, and their UIs are lacking compared to their commercial counterparts.

Sketch and Pixelmator, to me, operate in a significantly smoother way, and make doing basic tasks substantially easier. The biggest thing that comes to mind for Sketch/Inkscape is exporting sections of the larger project file into individual assets. It's a breeze in sketch. It's integrated in the main UI, it operates in a predictable way, and it just works. Inkscape pulls you through a series of menus, and doesn't have any way to remember how you've previously separated up your assets (unless there's some way to do that deeply hidden in the UI that I could never find).

So yes, Sketch and Pixelmator, and most well-known creative software (anything in the Adobe suite, the Affinity Suite, etc) is generally significantly ahead of the open source options. Would I prefer it otherwise, sure, but the open source options aren't used by that many professionals, and are generally swimming upstream to implement features the commercial ones already have, instead of creating the next great feature (whatever that is) or streamlining their UI to make easier to use.
I wouldn't say it's that great (both technically and in spirit).

> As sole copyright holder on the RAP plugin itself, the PaX Team is only licensing the full version under a GPLv3 license to commercial customers to permit legal compilation of userland binaries.

So technically nothing stops commercial customers to redistribute the sources in GPLv3. You can't just give out exclusive GPLv3 licenses, it doesn't make any sense.

Also where can I download the "public RAP demo"?

edit: IANAL
This should be fixed built-in, like how sql injection fixed.
Humboldt squids at least work together to achieve goals such as catching prey. They coordinate to confuse and ambush the selected target. This shows (to me) not only that they are not solitary (all the time) and are able to communicate to achieve their common goal. A bit like killer whales.

So ¼ of your genetic material had a diet in which she never had a filling, and you on a different diet at age of 30 are missing many teeth, and you conclude that it's genetics?

Either some leap of logic or information is missing there or you're drawing the wrong conclusion from your data
I'm in a similar boat where most of my work is in c# and java and I have some work in javascript. I work on multiple projects at the same time and try to make c# calls in java and vice versa. I often have to double check the API for simple calls but feel other programmers look down on me for making those rudimentary mistakes.
That's just nonsense. We know the distance between us and the star, we know that light travels at c, and therefore we know that, in our reference frame, the event being observed happened 1795 years ago.

All laptops at home are running ubuntu, and so is my desktop. For me it was seemingly the opposite to the experience of many people here. I had no issues whatsoever with the laptops, everything worked pretty much out of the box. No issues with function keys not working, wireless, audio or anything else.

On the other hand, on my desktop I had a lot of issues with random system freezes, and with the audio. My headset would have a constant crackling and the graphics card had quite a few issues.

As with most things, YMMV.
Surely if you could lose $200k an hour, you would want to ensure you have spares for absolutely everything already on site before the problems occur. Redundancy is an amazing thing.

Good article up to the end when speculation about the uniqeness of humans are presented. "Humans, perhaps uniquely, have gained the ability to step outside ourselves"

AFAIK we have established that quite a few animals for example apes such as the Orangutan are able to identify and reason about themselves in relation to the rest of the world. They are capable of deception, cooperation etc. And of course a range of complex feelings.

The color changing and arms of an octopus would at least allow for complex information communication.

I bet images like Neural style transfer are boring to artists just like ML poems :) Actual digital art is no less complex [0]. That aside, it would be interesting to look at ML model used, all I've seen were simple ones like hidden markov chains for the next letter, but hidden state is managed by RNN. You need to learn to "grasp" some underlying meaning if you want more than a semi-random word salad and if this can actually be done without building a strong AI in the process :)

For all your OS X coming to Linux, a word of personal advice. Use a distro with KDE, Kubuntu is great for beginners and install ubuntu-make (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-make), a command line utility that installs your dev environment.

If you feel a bit more adventurous and want the all of the newest Software try Manjaro-KDE.

Why KDE?

KDE has a traditional Desktop experience, that can be tweaked in every way. It is much more polished and all the other Linux desktops and it uses Qt5 as it's base - so the team doesn't need to develop the widget toolkit and can focus on the desktop. Lastly gtk apps look much better in KDE than Qt apps in Gnome.

BTW: I was a long time Unity and then Gnome user, so I know what I am talking about. I switched to KDE this summer and never looked back.
Why is iconography important for eye-catching and effective in-app UX?
Somewhat unrelated, but I'm always surprised by the fact that most american homes have the front door open directly to the living room. In most European houses there's usually a hallway behind the front door. It acts as a thermal buffer and you have space for a coat rack and shoe cabinet.

And ive seen oxygen and argon called "metals" (in stars). Each field has thier own terms.
I love side-by-side visualizations like this. I think it would be very neat to have this presented via a Chrome extension that provides design context for Trulia and Zillow listings. When I see a listing description like "this is a lovely Tudor-style home," I often wonder which elements showcase the named style.
It is possible for some older models. But not for recent ones. Or at least so far no such method was published.
"Actual computer hacking" in the sense that someone exposed the truth hidden on DNC servers and Podesta''s IMAP server?

I can't recall an app ever skipping pages on me. As for back to the home screen I think that is intended behavior, if you open and app and hit back you should end up back at the home screen. And switching apps is intended too, if you came from another app it should take you back there. It works much like the back button on your web browser, it doesn't navigate a particular site per-say, it just takes you back in the history of "activities" from which you came.
One of the things that attracted me to FOSS in the first place was the complete lack of marketing, i.e. lies. At first I was a little taken aback by the way so many projects would advertise prominently flaws in their product (bugs, missing features, design limitations...), but quickly I got used to it, and now just seems the normal thing to do. Whereas marketing comes across as blatant, manipulative BS.
Sure you can, you just need a bigger tower; you can get gigabit speeds with microwaves, no sweat, very directional too. Signal loss due to moisture? Up the power. It doesn't work? Use more power, or add 5 feet to the tower and try again. Remember, if brute force isn't working, you aren't using enough of it.

BTW: I like how you kinda gloss over the advanced math for atmospheric corrections. The idea is interesting, though.
This community thing may be the case, it doen't bring in any dollars. At least not at any signifcant scale to continue developing the platform.

What the world needs is an easy to use web publisher, the Microsoft Word for the Web. Sure, we can type text and publish that. We can't however add in math formula's, pictures, excel sheet (parts), word document links, slideshows anything digital really, with "unexpected simplicity and ease". There's always pain involved, and I know individuals and companies are willing to pay heavily if these problems are solved in an online publishing tool.

The community is now just there to generate critical mass for adoption, and used as highly critical feedback userbase.
You're right that they're not conflating the phenomena, but to say that two events are only simultaneous if they're on the light cone is still incorrect - that's the boundary of the region of simultaneity, whereas the OP was suggesting that it's the entirety of it.

Since the light hasn't reached us yet, it's perfectly valid to state that in some frame of reference, the event is happening right now. 2022 is the last possible time at which we could make that claim because the events become causally separated, which is I think what OP was getting at, though the wording was a bit off.
> simultaneity itself is relative

That's right.

> in our frame it actually does happen in 2022

That's not. Read on clock synchronisation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_synchronisation

I think a good definition of what a startup is would consider rate of growth (now and projections into the near future) rather than length of time since inception.
What about SSDs? The only mention I can find is for the 5720, All-in-One, which is a 27" workstation.

Do the laptops ship with rotational HDDs? IMHO comparing this to a MacBook (with its PCIe SSD) if it has a rotational HDD is disingenuous.

I replaced my root partition HDD with an SSD in 2009 and I'm never going back.
>> thinking through the logic of what I actually want to program

Yes, that is very important and I do ensure that I have the design and the details fleshed out. Still, I get tripped up and sometimes the IDE (Xcode) also fails me, though that is a failure of the IDE feature.

For example, I was recently working on making a class which would have some animation settings and there is a fill mode. I did not know the exact one and I had to look up. I tried `fill` for autocomplete to help, but did not work. Then I go do a look up and I hate these breaks.

>> would only make me slightly quicker,

I am not sure of the ROI to memorize these details, but looking at the other comment which links to Derek Siver's usage of spaced repetition for the same, seems to be effective, but then that is not a large sample set. I guess I will give the spaced repetition a try for a month or two and see.

Thanks.

Interesting suggestion. I dream of the same things. It's pretty obvious the fate of Dell is currently capped by the features of Linux. Their effort on the hardware is currently enough to convince, but the OS is still what makes people afraid of switching away from Mac.

I'll suggest something crazily ambitious: Dell should acquire and staff creativity/professional suites for Linux. If the de facto stack for photographers or architects were a stunning Ubuntu + Affinity + AffinityCAD (inventing a stack here), it would be the year of Linux. Plus Linux-based stacks are much more powerful than Apple/Windows.
I just built a ECC desktop, the math I saw implied I'd say 1 or 2 random crashes a year. Additionally to true random bitflips it seems MUCH better at identifying bad dimms, or bad dimm slots. I'd much rather have an ECC error than start randomly replacing CPUs, dimms, and motherboards.

Seemed pretty cheap to me. How much is a few less crashes a year worth it to you?

Keep in mind the error rate is per GB, so 32GB crashes 2-4x more often than the more common consumer sizes of 8-16GB.

Make friends with a friendly local astronomy club. It'll be free, you'll meet nice people, you'll get to use their glass, and you'll get as much advice as you want.

Or, as MPSimmons suggests, get some wonderful binoculars (in a pinch, the ones with the largest objective lenses you can find), a comfortable clear moonless night, and a blanket to lay on.

Mostly, though, just go look.
OK so this guy from India shows up, shares a studio with 4-5 others.

Then Twitter offers them quadruple the salary to join them instead.

This is an _entirely solved problem_ if it were not for immigration rules. Jobs with shitty pay will get outcompeted by jobs with better pay. Or those jobs just don't get filled in the first place!

We already see this in the restaurant business. Really shitty jobs at minimum(or waiter minimum) wage are all over the place. They used to be filled by people coming in from central America as undocumented immigrants, but even they got tired of the bad jobs. So now they sit vacant, because nobody wants them.
Yeah, if someone is willing to enter a contract with you, which they are free to decline.

Anyhow, beyond the mere principle of having to be part of a system you reject, it is quite weird to say that any anarchist could live in an anar-cap utopia, when there are such differences between them ; just like it would be weird to say that any anarchy can fully develop as a community within a statist society.
>Windows will work on practically any combination of hardware.

I strongly disagree. When the dinosaurs roamed the Earth and I tried to dual boot, Debian ran everything on my desktop from the get go. For Windows, I had to hunt for drivers for all the hardware, or use the provided disks (which was annoying since I hadn't originally bought an optical drive)

Despite the 22 hour number, dell only promises 12 on the 3200x1800 screen. Rather frustrating that they limit the good cpu/ram configurations to the 3200x1800 touch screen. So if you want more ram you are forced to switch from a matte screen that gives you 22 hours on battery to a shiny screeen that lasts 12 hours.
I have not looked at this particular commit history, but I want to argue against the notion that no fresh commits must mean that a project is abandoned. Some stuff is just mostly finished after some point.

I've seen SU-27s a few times in the air and on the ground here in Australia. The Indonesian air force has them and they have visited our shores as part of exercise 'Pitch Black' in the past, and probably will do in the future.

MiGs are not 'top secret' jets behind the iron curtain any more. Lots of friendly Air Forces have them now (India etc.) and they routinely co-operate with western forces on exercises.
Gerrymandering was used in Northern Ireland for a long time, though usually to favour one side.

The process is poorly described. The Brennan Center [1] does a better job. The key point in the efficiency gap is that you don't calculate district by district. You calculate the efficiency gap for all of the districts in a state. Yes, if a single party won all districts by a 2% margin, it would be gerrymandering. It's not statistically believable for a party to win that many districts "by chance", especially if the vote margins are that narrow in each district. If Party A wins District 1 by 2%, I'd expect Party B to win District 2, etc. If Party A wins Districts 1-100 by 2%, then yes, I'd strongly suspect gerrymandering.

QuickNet: Maximizing Efficiency and Efficacy in Deep Architectures
I won't argue against read receipts and typing notifications in general as far as UX goes (I understand the privacy problems, but that's another thing). It's a very basic equivalent of body language for text chat.
Had to do the same thing but had a different experience. It was hard to dive in and took some time but now I understand and appreciate the core concepts. There are many abstraction layers ("[...] schemes") and IMO that is a good thing. When you customize workflows etc. you can do that without leaving supported areas. Creating and changing a workflow is very easy. Plus, JIRA has a good pricing.

With ~350 employees and many mixed teams using only Trello would be chaos. In key areas we need fixed workflows (-> JIRA).

Right now we are planning to add Wekan (FOSS trello clone) to our toolchain for workflows which are more dynamic (less "C follows B follow A" + smaller teams - e.g. innovation and some planning).
If the newspaper stand was taking a copy of a newspaper from the publisher and making it available to millions of people by posting it on the internet then yes, they would need a license.
