> Will these more upmarket Chromebooks (which have x86 CPUs and acceptable RAM & storage) be OK to run any regular Linux distro?

GalliumOS[1] is a Ubuntu-based Linux distribution optimized for Chromebooks with a huge list of supported devices[2].

> Right now, Xiaomi laptops are excellent cheap machines to run Linux on (thanks to having just Intel components). Same for Huawei if you are willing to spend a bit more, but on that price a Thinkpad is probably the way to go.

I find Lenovo Thinkpad E4*0 series to be the best low-cost, high build-quality Linux development machines, since they start from $569.99, allow a wide range of hardware customizations[3], and meet Mil-SPEC durability standards[4].

Just to add to this, if you take a lot of mathematics notes, you can embed latex fragments in Org-mode. Making use of the yasnippet package, writing latex is actually quite efficient.

On top of this, if you read a fair bit of papers, check out org-ref [1]. Referencing and notetaking of papers becomes a breeze.

Finally, you can also export your notes to a bunch of different formats (e.g. html, pdf).

Maybe you know the answer to this question I have always wanted:

I want to be able to run multiple OSs/Installations-of-the-same-OS on a single machine such that I can swap between "running" OSs - meaning, I want to have one OS sleep while I use the other.

So, if I have windows and ubuntu on the same machine - I dont want to reboot, I want to just put one to sleep and wake the other one up...

OR Ideally - I want to be able to run them side-by-side in some manner that is greater than a VM running on top of the other... My System76 laptop has dual SSD drives in it, I'd like to have both machines running, with half the resources dedicated to each, and have my KVM switch between them.

Anything come clsoe to this?
Common meme of today's world is that "good enough" today is better than "perfect" tomorrow. Not in super-competitive, cut-throat domains like finance. Here you either make money and you live or don't and you go under. Making money means finding those strategies that are profitable. If you work hard and attempts after attempts are only "good enough" (almost make money but not quite), procrastinating further efforts is the way to go or else you burn out and it's all over.

This was one of my reasons for only using Preact. Preact is a lot simpler mental model than react. It’s smaller, faster and arguably has less nuances.

Whilst that's true, it doesn't seem likely that we go from where we are now (Can't do autonomous driving) to a point where can get fully autonomous driving, and then to a point where we can do fully autonomous driving with the reduced sensors available on existing Teslas in a period of time that makes sense.
Foreign companies can go outside of free customs zones and pay duties as every other Chinese company. That's the point.

I think Facebook is an example of a service that has - you use an email & password to log in, but your name is what is displayed everywhere.

But Facebook has made other trade-offs that people might not always agree with: it requires people to use their "real name", and while this policy is sporadically enforced, they probably have checks for people cycling through names, and they also focus on communicating with your close social circle where there is less incentive/opportunity to impersonate people.

Twitter has something in between where you can have a handle, which must be unique, as well as a display name, which does not. Without a unique handle @handle isn't a thing that works. You could do something like Facebook and have someone type @<Display Name> and provide some drop down for disambiguating, but given the wide open nature of Twitter, this seems more abuse-prone.

Identity is still hard to manage online, and I don't think we're really ever going to solve the problem in a way that makes everyone happy.
There's also something to be said about extensive rules and regulations really hurting relatively normal social activities.

I really enjoy living in developing nations because you can actually just live. You can go buy some random food from somebody selling stuff off the street, pick up a beer or two..., and go sit down by a lake beside the street and have a little picnic type thing with a friend -- or even cast a fishing line out or go for a swim if the mood strikes. Enjoy yourselves, clean up after yourself, be considerate of others, and nobody cares what you do -- as it should be.

An official format that allows only one of every card is a great idea. Back in university, some people also got tired of all the highly tuned decks with dozens of very similar cards, and decided to play with that rule, calling it "Highlander decks" (there can be only one!).

I believe my son or nephew also insisted I shouldn't have more than one of each card in my deck, so maybe the guy who taught my nephew only played Commander.

Although googling for it, it seems Commander comes with a lot of extra rules. I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for.
Um, yeah part of me felt so too, but I was thinking, how else could the guy have phrased it? I mean he's at CMU in a masters program, so to us all his failures feel big, but I don't think that's how he thinks about them. To him, they're all just failures. Nothing more, really.
I think it's disingenuous to say you don't need to learn OTP. You need to learn the basics of it, or you will struggle, because you will be trying to solve problems in a way that doesn't fit with the underlying language and runtime. That said, learning the basics of OTP is super easy, and can be done in an afternoon (spawning processes, sending messages, supervision, understanding what applications are in Erlang/Elixir parlance).

It's like saying you can build a Rails app without understanding classes/objects - sure maybe you could throw something together because the tools are so friendly, but you would get lost pretty quick when trying to do something on your own. Learn those basics up front, and you can get a long way without having to delve into more advanced topics.
Its useless. Just let your brain do it and ull be able to find the information back when u needit.

Im not kidding. For any task you dont need more than 5 references. Dont keep useless volumes of stuff and move on.
You're getting into some really sketchy territory though.

For it to be a sign, it has to be consistent. The vast majority has to follow the rule. Exceptions need to be rare.

Otherwise, it's pretty much just anti-survivor bias. Yes, all failed magazines did these things, but doing that thing doesn't mean your magazine is failing if all magazines do it. Or if enough successful magazines do it.

14 years is a long time. It would be like saying water is deadly because everyone alive who has ever drank it has died or will die in about 100 years or so. Or everybody who has ever gotten divorced was married at one point. So marriage is a sure sign of an inevitable divorce.
> However, they have one exception to the "being bad at managing collections of the world's data that I didn't write" -- they do have very good "web clipping" functionality. Instead of saving url bookmarks that might suffer digital rot, you can use the web clip tool.

Let me warn you: I tried to use OneNote this way. The web clipper is really nice and I used it heavily to clip everything interesting on the web from my desktop and my phone until my OneNote file reached 8GB. Syncing just completely gave up and there is no way to export everything in a usable format.

Since then I use a separate Firefox 52.5.0 instance with the old ScrapBook plugin. I can send sites to it from a current Firefox instance and from mobile. It works ok and, in case this setup should stop working at some point in the future, I still have all sites sitting on my local drive.

Unfortunately the browser makers don't give a damn about saving and organizing Websites locally, although I'd believe that this would be far superior to Bookmarks. I love scraping my local library for useful stuff and I've been bitten by link rot far too often.

For personal notes and todo lists I prefer simple text files with a few categories. Lately I'm also giving Boostnote [1] a try, which simply looks a bit better and allows me to add checkboxes and proper headings/separators.

I agree that it's really complex and not straightforward, especially since there are so many unknowns, confounding factors, and since so much is different from person to person (microbiota, genetic and especially epigenetic factors, the effects of hormesis, etc) but at the same time, just because it's complex doesn't mean that science (or individuals) should throw their hands up and say "well, there are no conclusions that can be made about human diet" as that seems to be patently untrue.

Also, just because people can't read hundreds of studies doesn't mean that they aren't out there, or that haven't been done (tens of thousands of studies, of all kinds, which taken together do point to much more specific things than "eat some nuts"), or that it's excusable when medical professionals make recommendations that are contradicted by the preponderence of scientific evidence.
> As safe as a smallish motor cycle? I would think so.

No. Compare even a beefed up e-bike like the greyp to a smaller motorcycle like a Suzuki DR-Z400 SM. The wheels, fork, frame, rear swingarm, geometry and rake are all different. They need to be to handle freeway speeds safely. By the time you've souped up an ebike to be as safe as a motorcycle at high speed, you've converted it into a motorcycle. Those same changes make it less nimble, and therefore less useful, as a mountain bike. I'm not sure I would mix even small motorcycles in with bicycles on a public road.

> Useful to you but not so useful to people that don't know what safe means to you.

I'm an avid motorcyclist, but most people are not. They don't feel comfortable going those speeds unless they have a cage lined with airbags around them. The fatality statistics suggest they're not crazy for wanting such a thing.

The point still stands that there was growth per capita. Given that, different economies have different growth rates just like different companies do. The US has many advantages to attract growth that other countries do not have. Consider just the fact that the growth since the 80's has been dominated by the financial sector, the reserve currency status certainly helps. Other large sectors like agriculture and natural resources/energy, Japan has no answer for.

>For people between 25 and 54, in America, there are almost exactly as many men as women, to within less than one percent. [0] So if you see more men than women around you, that's a filter bubble that you've artificially put yourself in. Therefore the converse must be that there are many other places in America where there are more women than men.

Total number of females in the entire population != the number of reproductive aged heterosexual women within my particular socioeconomic level that are single and seeking a relationship. That number is absolutely tiny in comparison. And with even the slightest convolution for racial or looks preference it's down to maybe a few thousand individuals out of millions in a major metro area.
I've been using Workflowy for several years and recommend it very highly.

Tesla is going to find it increasingly difficult as new competitors come online. For example, Autocar just gave Jaguar's I-Pace a positive review in a head-to-head comparison [1]. IMHO the I-Pace is a good-looking car, and has a superior interior to the Tesla. As more manufacturers catch up, can Tesla survive?

I'm completely uninformed on this, but I thought that in order to evaporate completely, a black hole must first shrink until it is very small, at which point the amount of energy released by its final disappearance would be rather a small amount irrespective of the original size. Why would the original size of it make any difference?

This reminds me of a similar search, maybe 10 years ago, for a tech employee and his family.

> not many would voluntary bring expensive electronics to a sauna

You haven't seen the people who use the sauna at the gym I used to go to, then. They always freaked out at me for not bringing my phone/headphones in and just using a small hand-held timer to make sure I didn't stay too long... They also got mad because it made me want to talk too.
> What is the value in being offended, like, ever?

It's a good bullshit detector. Instead of wasting time dealing with my board member's asinine suggestions, I can study interview questions and get a job at an employer that doesn't suck.

An employer who suggests coupon books in lieu of CoL adjusted salaries is probably out-of-touch or manipulative in a lot of other ways. Call me irrational, but I don't want to spend my days working for a super manipulative employer...

> Surely if you could genuinely acheive your goals by leveraging coupon books, wouldn't that be worth considering?

Sure. But in lieu of raises that keep up with CoL? Hell No.

> you'll have an understanding of why it won't work beyond "well it offended me".

Again, I suggested common sense!

Until I start seeing 2 for 1 mortgages, 1/2 off gasoline, BOGO surgeries, and 25% off tuition in coupon books? Well, it doesn't even take a spreadsheet for me to know that the things moving my CoL up aren't stocked in the Target or grocery stores...

Again, hyper-rationalism that distracts you from using common sense is silly.

> However it's a communication problem because the problem isn't "keep up with inflation", it's "maintain a consistent quality of life despite inflation".

CoL is a quantitative measure of QoL. I'm having a really hard time imagining situations where inflation in the face of stagnant wages doesn't translate into lower QoL. Especially for folks who work for a living.

> and I would never take the time to do this kind of thinking if I rejected ideas that "should offend me" without consideration.

So you would really response neutrally to your employer handing out coupon books instead of annual raises?

Then you're being had.
I think most of these comments are missing the mark. There have always been cameras. As you say older people don't often care if they are naked. Younger people do because it isn't normal anymore. And that is because the influence of US media, and maybe especially social media, where you can't be naked. And if you are it is to sell something, or it is dirty. Freedom on the Internet is American freedom and that includes stolen celebrity pictures on the dark web (since apparently celebrities don't deserve actual privacy), but not showing your own nipple, even by mistake, on Instagram.

Your timeline is a little off. The Qing dynasty decline was partly to blame but be sure that almost 1/4 of Chinese young adults under the age 25 being addicted to illegal opium (thanks to western traders) didn't help. If you think that wasn't a contributing factor, it is being ahistorical.

US and Western Europe is facing this growing opioid issue today (during an economic decline), if we are not careful, we will see very clearly the effects (both socially and economically) of opioids poisoning the gene pool en masse.

For readers interested in a contrary anecdote, every time I've used Sinatra based frameworks, such a Express or Nancy, I've thought without a doubt it was the right choice over something MVC based.

The simplicity of these frameworks allows arbitrary changes with minimal friction, patterns, restrictions, and other people's opinions, i.e. conventions.
IRC had closed or private channels and the open channels were heavily moderated as well. I was a #linux moderator on EFnet for several years.

I believe the success of IRC is not due to the greatness of the tool but the userbase. It was pretty much university students world-wide and a few others. Similar behaviours, trainings, ideals etc. Facebook has a lot more diversity and thus conflict.
The proportion of single women is not skewed in other cities, its skewed in other age groups.

You can have the same number of men and women and the older women have a hard time finding a man and the young men have a hard time finding a woman.

It makes sense if you think about older men and younger women being able to easily match up and older women and younger men not being able to find anyone.

I can't speak for MySQL, as I haven't used it in a while, but I'd pick a properly configured Postgres full text over ES in a heart beat, if only because it means one less dependency (tree) to worry about. (As a bonus, the beauty of Postgres allows to use ES as an index type if you so wish [0].)

Also:

> Squeezing the query language into some sql-like shape will provide marginal gain at best.

... is disingenuous at best. In both examples I raised (and in the ones you'll find if you query the others) the engines have functionality to accept user input pretty much as is - meaning as your typical mom would type it in a search field.

If you need extra criteria from there and the dialect's full text syntactic features, you can use regular SQL conditions (and joins, and aggregates, etc.) on the subset of records found. The most discriminating criteria/index will be the one related to the search query in most cases. And when not, lucky you - your query planner did not hammer everything with the same sledgehammer, thus demonstrating why you should be using SQL.

Are they really? Recently I had to choose between a chromebook and a cheap lenovo laptop and I went with the lenovo.32GB just isn’t enough space.
That post completely disregards the fact that subnormals are usually orders of magnitude slower to work with for common hardware.
So I bought a cheap chromebook with an intel chip to run linux on and use as a dev machine.

The spacebar screen is a constant source of anxiety but it's even worse than that. The reason I am on chromeOS with sideloaded linux (crouton) is because when you flash custom bios (seabios) you need to authorize it, if your computer runs completely out of battery (like it did for me on a flight to Iran), then that authorization is revoked and you need to boot into chromeOS to fix it (something I couldn't do since I didn't have chromeOS) so the only thing you can do is press spacebar and wipe everything.

I think I'll never buy a chromebook again, I'll just get something from puri.sm or slimbook.es.
Is it sad, as a society? I don't know.

For me, personally, yeah, it's very dishonorable to my worldview. I would prefer alliances and collaboration and the betterment of all people rather than protectionism and distrust and zero-sum attitudes and behaviors.

Hypothetically, what if their talents were indeed to steal stuff and get ahead by appropriating the work of others? Would it then be sad if they didn't put those talents to good use?

I have no idea if all people do or don't feel good when they steal, but I would have guessed that some people do in fact feel good when they steal. Perhaps the badness that the people-who-do-the-stealing-for-their-society feel is outweighed by the overall goodness that the rest of society feels because of their advancement in (stolen) technology and the economic and societal benefits that come with that?

But, yes, in the end, I personally would rather not have some technology than to acquire it by means contrary to my values. I know an awful lot of people whom I believe, or even know, would either say the opposite or would be indifferent.
The i-pace looks nice, but really showcases the technical lead that Tesla has. The i-pace is bigger, with less interior space, and poorer energy efficiency, which ultimately leads to less-than-great range.
