As I posted above, we have a build service that does this automatically for you. It takes maybe 30 minutes to create a few spec files, and now it's supported by a bunch of different distributions. You can then point your users at the repo (or mirror the repo if you prefer). Also OBS lets you create forks of projects that just inherit the unmodified packages (and said forks can also be cross-host so you don't need to self-host a whole distribution).

I agree that doing everything I mentioned manually is hard, that's again why I said that distributions have solved this problem and made it easy.

For the last 10 years at all Linux events the number one laptop is a Mac. How are we to have nice things on Linux Desktop if people don't even know what it feels like.
I'm sure that any external client using >1bn queries per day would get a very different pricing from the one advertised.
I don't know when they asked the founder what his biggest regret was it was that story.
I didn't read this as "linux rulz", but more a reminder of "optics" when you place yourself in a position to represent .. anything.

If Tim Cook had absolutely no idea what the competition were doing, you'd start to wonder if that were negligent. But if he showed up for his keynote wearing an Android Wear watch, you'd start to wonder what was wrong with the dogfood.

This is the conflicting signals they're complaining about. If you proclaim that this is "the year of the linux desktop", and do so from an iPad, I think it's fair for me to question why you thought an iPad was the best tool for the job.

(aside: Please let "the year of the linux desktop" die. It's a running joke that's nearly 20 years old now.)

Not arguing with you, but I've seen a lot of people say this has very minimal ROI without giving any numbers. Do you happen to have any to share? Are you considering a higher relative investment based on an inconvenience to the user?

I'd love to explore this idea in a more reasonable, less-sketchy, opt-in way, but I'm only just getting started with crypto and I'm not sure what factors go into estimating potential costs/returns yet.
The "true value of 0" reflects the huge confidence of legacy providers (Patrick/Stripe) that crypto will sink. They may well be correct but for a community of "Entrepeneurs", it's entertaining to see the same patterns of technology disruption applying to the so called distruptors.
This looks like a completely generic tweet. I don't understand why there was any doubt about a libel suit.

Really, memories of the alleged $20,000 per week consulting gigs which were miraculously abandoned surface again.

Hmmm.. How would that work beyond Firefox if it wasnt a standard?

Persona was a good nobel idea, but like many Mozilla endeavors without a commercial goal it was doomed to failure, a few devs and devops costs money (a lot in the US, let's say 3 devs - 2 devops, office space, benefits etc.. easily 1m). Slightly OT beyond Firefox has Mozilla done anything commercially successful? Mobile software failure (cant imagine Android FF pays for itsself), device failure, SSO failure. How much revenue % is accounted for beyond the Google search integration?

Update: Just thought they made Rust and Servo that's pretty cool and my post sounds a little shitty, Rust seems awesome, but commercial avenue (back to reality) seems extremely limited here..

This is why I've been buying every well priced Thinkpad on Craigslist. From a couple T420's to the occasional T440 (for $70 to $100), with a few librebootable T400's and T60's thrown in for $10 to $20, I seem to hold these laptops for a short duration before friends or family buy them off me for $5 to $15 more.

Plus, when anything breaks, parts are cheap and plentiful. I even upgraded a T440 for my SO with a 1080p IPS screen and a few other bits, its an impressively nice machine all specced out!
How is 83% of devices, and a staggering 92% of phones on the very latest OS version 'not exactly much better'?
I went out shopping a few weekends ago to see what the current offering on laptops looks like. I ended up in an Apple store, and after only a few seconds fiddling with a MacBook, I walked straight back out again. That keyboard is terrible. I don't care how many other things Apple's line has going for it - if the primary interface to the device is that bad, I just can't imagine using it.

I wish there were more laptops out there with the old style ThinkPad keyboard on them :(
I love these Thinkpad mods but don't have the time or patience to do one myself. Instead, I did a little research and settled on the T470s as my new laptop. You won't read about it much on the Lenovo boards. It's not the fastest; that title goes to their huge desktop replacement beasts. It's not the sexiest and thinnest--the X1 beats it there. It is, however, well-equipped with a great display and fast-enough CPU, and it's quite thin. It has all the latest tech, including NVME disk and HiDPI display options.

I run Arch Linux and the i3 window manager on mine and it's just perfect.
Part of me still misses my beloved IBM-made X31. But ultimately even if I could choose one with modern components/specs, the thing that would keep me on a MacBook (disregarding software) is the unibody enclosure. Much better to have a machine that dents instead of chips. Beauty so rarely bespeaks durability in design but a CNC machined chassis is really an evolutionary leap for mobile devices.
Certainly. Maybe once a year, for as long as it takes for me to notice and reboot it. I can't remember it happening this year to mine, but sure, let's stipulate that it can happen.

But is that an issue? Enough to pick a distribution model for your software product that divides your customer lifetime value by ten?

If you're that worried about it, you could always take some of those profits and hire a kid to carry a pager around and do that once a year reboot for you.

There's a public forum for urbit that you can check if you want more active discussion on the community (urbit.org/fora), along with the urbit-meta talk room which all the developers and users chat in constantly.

You can use urbit for a lot of stuff already, it's just kinda a hassle since it's still being developed and people haven't developed apps for it. Someone wrote a Tumblr mirror app a few weeks ago, for example, and there's a Twitter client too, but they're both not as easy to setup as is nessecary for wide support.
As a smoker, I'm only mildly surprised at the 23 minutes. While it does seem unusually long, my experience at least confirms that probably easily half of my smoke breaks turn into a meeting of sorts (which can last a while!), or something else that is not work but work-ish enough that it doesn't seem to cause issues. 153 minutes is probably more than reality, but even a full hour a day would only be mildly surprising in some of the environments I've experienced (so I might be entirely off-base for the US).

In fact, some of my non-smoking colleagues started participating in the 'smoke breaks' (alongside the 'hanging-around-in-the-coffee-area' breaks) not just because those breaks can be problem solvers, but because it would lead to important informal 'meetings'.

Personally I hate this. I wish we had fewer self-harming 'down-time' moments at work (whether cigarette breaks or after-work inebriation) and more of the positive kind (meetup/lightning-talk-but-of-course-with-beers-for-those-who-care, long big-meal lunches as part of company culture, etc.), because I'm convinced they're crucial to the health of the company (cross-pollination of ideas/concerns between departments, for example).
I calculated 2-5 US cents per 24 hours on an average-ish PC (my laptop was more towards 2, someone else quoted hashrates that would result in 5).

I hope this campaign gets some traction. Closed source is wasteful, and even more so to fund it with public money.

Software development today is quite inefficient. It mainly suffers from two problems: duplicated effort, when a solution already exists, but it is inaccessible, and misdirected effort, when a problem is solved in a way that doesn't facilitate preparing other, possibly hardly-related, solutions in the future.

The cause of duplicated effort is that closed source carries no social stigma; in other words greed is not penalized. The cause of misdirected effort is lack of understanding of how to ergonomically assemble sub-systems into systems, which is simple enough and is described in the Unix philosophy [0], but nonetheless is very rare.

What about what he said implies he's doing it in a scummy way? Something like this, opt in and transparent, would be much preferred over microtransactions or ads, IMO.
Plausible reason: required productivity or meeting software. As a director, he may need to regularly interface with people who don't run Linux friendly software. At work, I was one of the last Linux hold outs. I still had to have a Windows client to connect to many meetings because that software only worked with Windows or Mac. Eventually I gave in and now use a Mac like everyone else at my work.

I have it for ca. 4.5 years now with i7 processor and 512M SSD and it still delivers. I carried out CAD related developments on Windows in a VM and it was pretty satisfactory (except big or computation intensive cases but average desktop was in pair that time). I had to move on to more powerful desktops yet I still use it for this and that. Its size is still the perfect ballance to me in usability and portability and feel no urge to replace it yet.

I keep hearing about Taler from a friend of mine, but there hasn't been much adoption among banks or credit unions, limiting its usefulness.

The banking sector in the US is a mosaic of banks and credit unions running a wide variety of debit networks, with ACH vaguely tying them all together. I wish it was easier to move money between banks here, seems like the quickest way is to write a check!
Because the credit/debit card systems are horribly insecure and we need to pay them so they can pay people who were scammed

This would specially be interesting to enable easy external auditing. Specially since governments rely a lot in large consulting companies, and these often deliver software of questionable quality. Also easier to evaluate would be the high costs usually associated with contracts to develop software sponsored by tax money.

> S&P500 nets you on average a 10% annual return of investment?

In the last 10 years, yes. Historically, it's been closer to 7% in real terms (adjusting for inflation). There are no guarantees that this will be the case for the future.

> Does that mean you can "just" invest ten times your yearly living expenses and practically live off idle income?

You'll need more than that because there are multi-year periods where the s&p 500 declines. The number that has been bandied around for a 'safe' withdrawal rate is 4% [1], so you'll need closer to 25 times your yearly living expenses.

> How does that not completely destroy the economy and

Because not everybody is doing it. If they were you wouldn't be getting those returns, obviously.

> why isn't everyone doing it?

Most Americans have less than $1000 in savings, let alone 10x their yearly living expenses.

I totally agree with you, but I'm pretty impressed they got to 200m ARR at all. I guess marketing is a pretty powerful force when you have so much more money than your competitors.

I wonder if they can use this money to build an actual product edge, maybe with search.

There's a related annoyance I've had for a while now: I grew up reading PC Gamer magazine and one of the great things about it was, for me, seeing the fancy new graphics coming out in large, glossy screenshots. Now, I read Rock Paper Shotgun and PC Gamer online and the screenshots are tiny, tiny things! On screenshot-focused articles, they'll be expandable but on most they're just little blocks the size of the textbox I'm writing in right now. And even when they are expandable, they almost never actually let you expand to full-screen. It kills some of the fun for me - but I guess now we have fullscreen video to more than make up for it though I don't always want to watch a video.

While expanding them inline would be nice, it doesn't really fix the problem that they're serving tiny images.
Reminds me of "Here's two ducks, they're digging a hole".

I'm very worried about face recognition technology but don't think that FaceID will play any role in it. Apple is the only large company that appears to take privacy seriously. There won't be a big database with all FaceID information.

There are enough companies selling face recognition tech to states but Apple isn't one of them. So the iPhone X shows how much is possible but in itself won't change surveillance.

I don't know what they're planning to do, but we could need only a few parties doing the verifications. If a build yields the wrong binary then the release is flagged and nobody gets it. Apt should check against the expected results.

Many things could go wrong with this (mainly attacks on the expected results db, it should be replicated) but the idea should work.

Yeah, I get the stance that the OS should get out of the way and make things simple, my old coworker running OpenSUSE was half the reason I ever started using bluetooth on Linux. Wireless mice are totally awesome!

Fwiw I've had care free support for both my mouse and speakers in both Debian 8 (Jessie) and Debian 9 (Stretch), I think the worst thing has been when I'm over 20ft from the speakers and the audio sink gets a bit delayed & choppy. Haven't had to open a terminal for anything bluetooth related tho.
The canonical counter-counter argument is that of course this needs to be established in other countries as well.

For example, this is pretty popular political demand here in Germany, as well as in the European Union. (Closely related, almost a special case: that scientific results, especially from public universities, should be open access. And all sources, code as well as collected data, should be openly available.)

It is essentially the same issue as with trading agreements, just a different solution: Instead of waiting for bilateral agreements, here single countries can make a start without having a huge disadvantage.

The thing is if the threat is any machine on the publisher side being infected, then it sorts of need to be verified by the consumer of the software, a bit like compiling a checksum when you download software.
On my work desktop (iMac 5k) I use a Das ultimate mechanical keyboard, I’ve been a big fan of Das keyboards with Blue or Brown switches for many years, I purchased a MacBook 12” Retina when they came out and it certainly took some adjusting to get used to the new keyboard but - after a week or so I really, truly liked it, I found myself typing very fast will a low error rate, when the new MacBook Pro came out a few months back I noted that they used a new generation of the same low profile keys that the MacBook 12” had, again I really enjoyed it because I was used to new style of key mechanism thanks to having the 12” for some time, I ended up buying a 13” MBP and oh my I’d almost go as far as saying I love the keyboard. Yes it’s very different from both mechanical keyboards such as my Das keyboards and legacy laptop keyboard designs and I think after a short adjustment period many people would likely enjoy the feel of the keys more than legacy / previous designs - it really grows on you.

The reason is that when using slack with github integration, it's annoying to need to switch markdown language as one goes back and forth between the two.

And Slack's lack of support for code formatting, bullet lists, etc. is IMO a sorely missed in that scenario.
