I recently bought an XPS 13 developers edition from the website after my macbook's screen randomly died (it was old, and ready for an upgrade anyways)

looking at new macbooks, I was unhappy with the lack of a USB slot, thought the fancy bar on the top was unnecessary, and generally you just seemed to get less for the same money.

I NEEDED the laptop right away. The website said it would take 4 days or so. So I waited, then they delayed the order. I couldn't wait, so I decided to cancel the order. I found Microcenter had an XPS 15, which for all practical purposes seemed like the same thing just slightly "better". So I bought that and threw Ubuntu on it.

More or less, it works fine. But I'm not "Wow this is the best laptop ever". I have 1 big complaint. While I'm typing, every once in a while the cursor will skip around. It is infuriating. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or driver issue. My second issue is probably more of an ubuntu issue... but the 4k resolution of the screen (which is actually pretty great) can make some windows scaled super small. From a softer point of view, I don't feel like the frame around this laptop is as durable as the macbook's. I'm very careful when I handle it, because I'm certain one accidental drop, and it's all gone. I dropped my macbook (accidentally!) probably 50 times. No issue.

I really like running ubuntu as my main machine, but this doesn't feel like the "high-end" machine I dreamed about.

I suggest you read this book:

It's simply not true that Aristotle died out in Byzantium. All these intellectual currents were absorbed into the Christian theology of Byzantium which is Orthodox and different from Western Christiandom.

You can read from that excerpt whatever you want, but it still does not make Fedora beta for RHEL.

Just like Windows 10 is not beta for Windows LTSB, or Linux kernel releases are not betas for kernels that will be LTS.

Here are the best ways to enjoy Thanksgiving with Techs
My API is quite simple, you connect to api.websocket.email/v1/subscribe with a websocket an an HTTP header. It just saves a bit of time when you don't want to read specs like that, maintain a server, or setup credentials.

At some point it makes sense to setup your own servers though. It's up to the individual to decide. I just wanted a way to write some unit tests, had to setup an email server, then made my test interface public.

Nice read! My wife and I just moved to Urbana/Champaign Illinois 4 months ago for my new job, and the Midwest really is different (from Arizona and California where we lived before).

What a bunch of self-aggrandizing drivel.
The people pushing this viewpoint are self-interested Vinod Khosla’s quote is missing a punchline — “Young people are just smarter” [except for me].

The only timeless ageism thing is the willingness of old men to schnooker young turks into things, whether that is getting blown up on a battlefield for king and country or getting exploited to make guys like Khosla money.

Volkswagen Passat: Why Should You Buy It at That Price Range?
Late in the pregnancy it is called a stillbirth rather than a miscarriage.

Stillbirth is rare. Miscarriage is incredibly common.

Both are painful I suspect a stillbirth far more so. The difference is that people shouldn't expect a stillbirth anymore than the death of a child - there is no need to prepare for it as a likely outcome. Meanwhile if you are intending to have more than one birth child you are more likely to experience miscarriage than not - it is better to be ready for it than have it come as a total surprise.

I love how once this exists in all the standard tools, anybody can just make a new chip and practically instantly run huge amounts of software on it and have the right base to add to it. A free ISA is a great interfacing point, innovation can go on above and below mostly independently, no licences or anything required. A good example of permission less innovation.

The road is long for RISC-V but I think the project is progressing about as fast as one can hope for. Thanks to everybody who helps with this.
> configuring a mailbox to deliver messages to a program is standard fare for a mail server

Why?! Why would you run a separate mail server of that device?

All you need is IMAP (or POP3), to connect the device to an existing mail server.
Ageism is exacerbated by technology.

Pervasive communications technology has increased the number of choices that we have. We are suddenly all in competition with many more people. That means that superficial signals like age and culture rise in importance just to reduce the search space. It's Tinder-ification.
PostNL seemingly does this only for packages (not envelopes; these are delivered as you'd expect) sent via China Post containing a '3S' tracking code. A recent purchase of mine got delivered to my door by PostNL; it was shipped via 'AliExpress Standard Shipping' which apparently doesn't get rerouted.
Yes, sorry, when I mean they don't require a degree, I mean that the job tasks do not require a university education. Because of how widespread degrees are now in the UK, the job ad often demands a degree, on account of this being a good signal of simply being "above average".

How are you missing out on millions in sales if they never paid? If it was a financial net positive to stay, why did you leave? If it wasn't, you're not actually missing out on anything by not being there.

For the record I think a lot of European regulations are needlessly anti-business but this seems like an odd example. If management isn't willing to spend $20k (even on credit at onerous interest) to make millions of dollars, I don't think they'll be around very long.
Why not running an IMAP client on the device? (e.g. fetchmail, or anything else that speaks IMAP)

If you spend 100 lines on a separate Go program, you could as well make it a generic IMAP client (using some Go libraries) rather than making it a HTTP/Websocket client that is highly specialiced to a single web service.

Most of the sellers know this and simply ship you a new item or refund you though — at least for comparatively cheap items.
Don't apologize. You said nothing wrong.

When you experience this the only thing that helps is understanding that it is nothing you did but a simple case of things not having worked.
That’s how we got to where we are today. You don’t get to call yourself a doctor or nurse because you have a box of band-aids in your pocket.

The meaning of engineering on the other hand has been watered down to be meaningless. There are no professional standards and no control on what companies represent their staff to be. It sounds prestigious as a title, but that’s about the end of it.

You bring up a good point: Despite older people having all of the wealth in the world (and likely a great deal of the income), few startups seem to be courting them as customers. Everyone's target end-user seems to be that mythical 15-25 year old middle class Ideal Consumer.

We don't plan to be poor, and all wish to be rich.

When someone claims that extra £30 a week we feel it's our money because we can visualise it in our minds.

When a rich person finds a way to not pay tax, it feels more like it's their money to begin with and it is taken from them, and we ourselves wouldn't like to lose out on millions.

Products Over Projects
As the article states, a lot of this is to do with the characterisation of the ultra-rich as 'hardworking', vs the characterisation of benefits claimants (legally or otherwise) as not. This narrative plays depressingly well with a lot of people in the UK, especially with those who are in the socioeconomic classes just above recipients of benefits.
YMMV - I have the Dell Precision 7510 and i have installed linux and then back to windows 10 about 20 times because i WANT linux to workout but it ends up being to much work to get everything working. This is including the latest ubuntu release. Each attempt i try a different distro. I recently tried again and throw manjaro gnome on the machine and everything just worked.

Like zero effort on my part and its awesome.

You've probably tried many things, but just curious: have you tried melatonin (and if so, what was the result of that)? I've had some or other form of sleep and/or sleep time window issues since early teenage years or possibly before as well; regular exercise and (some form of) diet helps, but what really changed sleep for me (and therefore had a measurable impact upon my quality of life) was melatonin (I have a strong aversion to the idea of regular use of sleeping pills). It's used by jetlagged people to reset circadian rhythm, etc. (See e.g. https://www.gwern.net/Melatonin)

Apologies if this is nothing new at all to you (probably not), but interested in what you think re. this (perhaps melatonin does not help at all in your case, which is also interesting in itself).
To be honest, I would use package for this kind of situation. For example, in Ruby on Rails one could simply create gem and add it to two different repositories. Additional thing is that you have a version control. Nice work anyway!
Right, this seems obvious. Any idea why they opted not to go that way?

I guess the reason is that the original use-case was VS Code & TypeScript (?) and developing a lowest common denominator API for all clients would mean C, so they would have had to program to a C API even though both the client (VS Code?) and the server (Node?) are running JavaScript.

But then maybe the answer should be to provide better C invoke wrappers for high-level languages, not to use HTTP instead of C.
Yes. I had not thought of that. But if either of the black holes (or both) had an accretion disk at the time of the collision, they would have been "visible" before.

I am not sure, though, if regular (stellar-mass) black holes with an accretion disk emit enough EM radiation to be visible at such distances, or if it would become lost among the radiation emitted by the rest of the galaxy.

(A merger between two supermassive black holes with active accretion disks must be a spectacular sight even from a safe distance.)
It’s great to see the bug program in effect. Also a huge thank you to all the whitehats our there!
You'd think someone who writes for such an august publication would be a little less of a chump, wouldn't you?

(ETA: Unless you're familiar with the output of such publications, I suppose, at least enough so to validate the "Gell-Mann amnesia" concept firsthand. I can't say they serve no useful purpose - one doesn't care to contemplate packs of feral journalists roaming the streets, shaking down sundry passersby for tweed and elbow patches - but really, one is well advised not to take them overly seriously.)

I didn't even know System76 existed, this looks exactly like what I wanted when I bought my XPS.
I had the cursor skip on an older Dell model (not Ubuntu, Windows), but the cause might be the same - the Nub mouse buton (if that makes sense - the little finger mouse? What ever it's called) in the middle of the keyboard would pick up the slightest tap and move the cursor - I ended up disabling it and the problem went away; I've never really experienced it on any other laptop.
Interesting, but I'm not sure I buy the argument. Which seems to be that HTHTHTHTH... will always have either more Hs or equal H and T in it.

If the thing is tossed but stays in its initial state, is that a coin toss? What if you didn't hold it either H or T up? It's not impossible to hold it sideways and throw it up.
I like the plethora of linters. It's generally straightforward to wire up custom linters and parse file:line:column from their stdout, since that's an age-old paradigm (overlap from compiler errors).

Code completion has a much higher bar for acceptable UI, though. I trust a Language Server Client with tons of users/contributors to deliver non-idiosyncratic UI sooner than MVP UI integrations of specific tools.

A good example of this is "Tern" for JavaScript. It (the backend indexing/completion engine) is absolutely killer, but the tightly coupled editor plugin/package just for Tern is decidedly "meh". I suspect because hardly anyone is developing, or indeed using, that specific integration.

---

Regardless of the overall merit of the Language Server initiative, the "matrix vs column" problem they articulate is bang on the money in terms of delivering quality (non-idiosyncratic) UI.
"At any given point in time, either the coin will have spent equal time in the Heads and Tails states, or it will have spent more time in the Heads state. In the aggregate, it's slightly more likely that the coin shows Heads at a given point in time—including whatever time the coin is caught."

This doesn't make sense, because they started counting the number of heads from when the coin is launched. But the first state (actually the first few states) are irrelevant, because you always wait a second or two before catching the coin. If you follow this line of reasoning, then the state after the customary delay is the one that has the higher probability. But that state is fair (50/50) and, because the customary period varies, not determined by the initial state.

Because the billions aren't lost to the rich. They ain't spending it, so there is no real resource drain. It's just numbers in a bank account. Essentially the rich saving has the same economic effect as taxation. Hit them with remittance taxation and it will just sit there 'offshore' doing largely nothing other than making the rich feel rich, even though they can't spend it.

The 'scroungers' however are draining real resources for nothing apparently in return. Not that they can provide anything because there aren't sufficient jobs for them.

In other words they are not 'scroungers', they are just the 1 in 20 people who can't get a job under neo-liberalism because it requires about 5% permanently unemployed to control inflation.

What we do get annoyed about are the 'idle rich'. Those who appear to get their money 'for nothing' the same as the 'scroungers' and then flaunt it by buying expensive stuff.

There is no reduction in public service capability by the rich having vast sums of money 'offshore'. The government is never short of money - as they demonstrate everytime somebody they don't like needs bombing, or a set of new nuclear submarines need purchasing.
I'd love to see some of your IT homework projects, they sound fun.

Though in all seriousness, I think the novelty is that even my parents understand email. If I told them to email an address, they could do it. They would almost certainly fail to install an IOT remote control app and configure it correctly.
Something about the evens/odds heads/tails comparison the author makes doesn't sit right with me. If you're confident that the coin will make more than one flip, then how much cumulative time it has spent in 'heads' position doesn't matter (gambler's fallacy), since the 'catch' timing is effectively random after that first flip.
Isn't that something we should fix?
Yeah, that’s what my friend was saying too. He mentioned one often-cited paper which, when he fixed a bug he found in the code, no longer supported the papers conclusion at all. He also complained about the poor quality in a lot of the code. :-(
I've been using a 13" MBPr for the last few years (on number 2) and I still miss the MacBook Air I was using previously.

The Air was easily Apple's greatest laptop in my opinion. They made the perfect compromises on size, weight, and performance for my use case.

I was hoping when they released the MacBook it would continue the tradition... but that price! I wanted a Retina screen, but after comparing specs and price with the 13" MBPr, the pro was the clear winner, and a pretty great laptop too. No way I'm getting a touchbar though, and with Mac alternatives like the Pixel pushing touch screen / tablet mode... I might have to go back to the Air.

False optimism? Old article, but probably still true today: 19% of Americans think they are among the top 1% of earners and 20% more think they will be one day [1]. When you introduce a plan that hurts "the rich": 39% of people think they're the target.

Doesn't that mean it rejects precedence? In a language equal precedence (e.g. Smalltalk), operators would just be executed from LTR or RTL.

There are C compilers for many architectures that the Rust compiler (today) does not support. They may also be referring to the fact that you can't just drop it into existing projects with their complicated build systems in the same way that you can drop a few generated ".c" and ".h"files.
You could do it that way, but (a) it’s much more satisfying to have it run the mail server itself, and (b) it’ll be markedly faster because the message is going to the server rather than to a third-party server, which will then notify your device.

POP3 is a polling protocol, so you can’t realistically use it for anything real-time. For IMAP, your server probably supports IDLE, and you’ll need to use a client that supports IDLE as well. I’m not familiar with what’s available in IMAP client libraries; people put most of their email client effort into user agents.

Everything IoT should run its own mail server, just for the fun of it. Bonus marks if it causes an RCE vulnerability. (But I’d say you’re pretty safe from that with Dovecot.)

But seriously, email servers aren’t actually that scary. I wish more people ran their own, and more developers could comfortably work with them. Especially as an endpoint for something like this, running your own email server is perfectly feasible and reasonable—it’ll only accept messages to one mailbox, which will be immediately processed and discarded, so there’s no storage. It’s simply a C&C module.
DasSur.ma – 2018: 120fps and no jank
I understand where you are coming from, but I think it is just a matter of framing. If you consider regular Ubuntu releases to be the "beta branch" of their LTS releases, then the comparison would be apt.

I don't really see it that way. Each Fedora release is reliable, but the software does evolve quickly. The RHEL releases are taken from a point in time on that stream, pushed through an even more extensive QE process, and maintained for an extended period of time.
TBH, the hardware manufacturers could write drivers for their stuff.
Recently I've tried something similar, using paper notes as a temporary store and every few days rewriting into my wiki and agenda. The process is similar to a GTD inbox that gets processed regularly. Lots of the TODO items can be handled while rewriting(e.g. email Casey about the widgets).
