I find it odd there's so much emotion about KDE vs Gnome in RHEl/CentOS. RHEL is an 'enterprise' distro, which means in theory professionals are using it inside of their application of choice, and almost never interacting in a meaningful way with the DE. They need almost no customization and only the simplest file manipulation tools, and the ability to open the programs they do their work in. If you want to use it at home, you can just install KDE yourself, why expect rhel to support it?

Googling comes up with a WaPo article which seems to cover it pretty well: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/health/opioids-...

Edit: Since you edited your question I think you might want to look at opioid agonism across the range of receptors you should probably be able to find quite few NIH studies.
That is how I read it, maybe there is a subtlety I am missing.
TikTok has some of the worst misleading and bizarre advertisements all over the internet. I'm kind of curious what their advertising budget is at this point.
Here are some quick stats I spit out:

Paid vs Free apps:
Mac: 57 Paid vs 33 Free
iOS: 310 Paid vs 227 Free

Stats:
╔══════════╤═══════╤════════╤═══════╤═════════════════╗
║ Platform │ Mean │ Median │ Mode │ Range ║
╟──────────┼───────┼────────┼───────┼─────────────────╢
║ Mac │ $9.83 │ $4.99 │ $4.99 │ $0.99 -> $59.99 ║

I need to clean up my output for "By Seller" because right now it looks like this:

Totals By Seller:
Apple Inc.: $493.05 (iOS Apps: $21.6, Mac Apps: $70.96)
Supercell Oy: $252.7 (IAP: $252.7)
Evernote: $147.96 (Subscriptions: $147.96)
Panic, Inc.: $87.95 (iOS Apps: $37.96, Mac Apps: $49.99)
Hindsight Labs LLC: $67.94 (iOS Apps: $17.96, Mac Apps: $49.98)
Assembla, Inc.: $59.99 (Mac Apps: $59.99)
American Honda Motor Co., Inc (Acura): $59.99 (iOS Apps: $59.99)
Strong Fitness Ltd.: $54.89 (Subscriptions: $54.89)
...

Which is not super useful unless you know that name of the company behind the app. I need to re-write my code to at least put a list of the app names at the end or something. For reference, in order the apps are:

Apple Inc = Mac OS's
Supercell Oy = Clash Royale (Not proud of this number at all)
Evernote = Evernote (duh)
Panic, Inc = iOS: Prompt, Prompt 2, Coda, Transmit, Status Board | Mac: Coda 2 (I own most all their mac apps as well but didn't buy through the store)
Hindsight Labs LLC = Paprika 2 and 3 (for iPad/iPhone/Mac) (recipe app, hands down the best one out there, trust me)
Assembla, Inc = Cornerstone (svn program)
American Honda Motor Co., Inc = Acura Link (WASTE OF MONEY, I should have fought this charge)
Strong Fitness Ltd = Strong (iOS Workout tracker, I think it was like $5-$6/mo)

I need to also have my code print out top purchases by price (ignoring seller). I can pull out more if you would like.

Edit: As you can tell the Apple Inc line is wrong, it looks like it's not pulling in the "special" categories they created for iCloud stuff, I'll fix that later.
Certainly. But observing unintended consequences of a specific action is quite different from claiming that that action is a slippery slope to further actions that are not in fact planned.
Disagree in the sense that utility shouldn't be the only deciding factor in whether or not to add a feature. Apple, of course, cares about aesthetics, and having contrasting - though still minimalist - vectorized topology makes Maps much more pleasing to look at, and therefore to use.
Just FYI: Firefox and Edge both give me a warning about it not being secure.

"The owner of www.notdepressing.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website."
Polytopia is a pretty decent indie strategy mobile game which tests your military strategy, tech development skill, and economical maximization like in the Civilization series, also recommended (for PC and consoles only though).
You don't use Vagrant for your desktop, do you?
Chinese funded, so essentially infinite
Nevertheless, you made quite a lot of untrue statements previously. You don't care about that, pushing yet another point unrelated point.

Suddenly we are talking about 9/11 through we talked about nazism before. Because apparently to you, there is equivalence between being Muslim and being Nazi. As if Nazism had many interpretations (it does not have) or as if it allowed peaceful coexistence with others in some branches. It does not, the ideology itself is closer to ISIS ideology - it demands obedience, violent masculinity, winners take all mentality and demands to conquer the world.

Note that I did not said whether and what limitations should there be on speech. But, my impression is that people who pretend to care about that are more interested in making Nazi sound better then they are.

Regardless of whether there should be limitations on speech, speech we are talking about is especially crafted and designed to make people take violent action. It is done for that purpose and synagogue shooting (or beheading) is its success as intended. Lets not lie or pretend it is otherwise.
One issue is you have to pay a monthly. In most other countries you wouldn't have to do this, so you dont have to worry if you have a slow month, or no work at all.
This is probably a stupid question but is it possible for this or for any drug to be absorbed and take effect via the eye? Or does it have to get into the circulatory/digestive system to take effect?
Algorithms are trained by real world data. If Twitter claimed that it is 'impartial', it would be fundamentally false (you cannot create a perfectly representative sample, and god knows how many propaganda bots are pushing up their DAUs).

Worse still, it would communicate to advertisers that if Twitter's algos can be gamed so easily, its user base is 'low quality' and not worth serving ads to.
Go for remote jobs, then chances are you will be at least technically a freelancer.

Then as you gain experience you'll be able to transition from pseudo-employee to actual freelancer.
I don't think this will ever happen.

They were designed to be used whilst people are walking around doing everyday things. That includes being near traffic where cancelling all of the noise can kill you.

Expect them to do noise cancelling in over ear form as part of Beats brand similar to 1000MX3 and QC35.
You can also just call `nix-env -i .` to build and install in one go.
If you are interested in learning more the general name for this drug (outside of the US) is ARX-04.

The maker has some data that compares it to Fentanyl [1]. Their numbering states that is closer to 100x, and crosses the blood brain barrier in around 6 minutes.

Optane is more like slow RAM, but lots of it.
Perhaps because the Mercatus institite is funded by the Koch brothers, the conclusions drawn play up the individual choice and down the forced by economics to do fill in work as a contractor or freelancer. The data shows a growth, but the conclusion doesn't seem to actually link to the anything directly shown by the data.
See https://github.com/ghuntley/dotfiles-nixos which is a source drop reference for others on how to setup nixos and share configs between multiple machines
You are not wrong...
Makes perfect sense, and seems to have been general expectation of the community for a long time. No need to keep maintaining 2 runtimes when there is a modern, fast, lightweight version that is cross-platform and will now be beyond parity at the next release.
Installs is a vanity metric, the more interesting metric in consumer social is retention numbers like d30, d60, and beyond. If they're able to keep users onboard for long periods of time, TikTok becomes a threat to incumbents.
It's not clear to me that consolidation here actually does reduce diversity in a meaningful sense of the term. Many choices in the Linux world are not so often choices between truly different things, but between superficially different spins on the same thing.

For example, many distros only really differ from their parent in theming, replicated but differently named applications and so forth, which could all be offered in one distribution with less workload, but the same degree of genuine choice.

Same is true for DE's I think. Many of the things that differentiates DE's could probably be offered as configuration within one DE, with less workload but no or very little reduction in diversity.
>If suppressing speech didn't matter, no one would be worried about it being suppressed.

We could worry about it because the principle might one day be used against us. It's one thing to ban swastikas, but who gets to define what counts as "terrorist"? We already see that being abused to suppress dissidents abroad.
There is similar project called Tacit — http://yegor256.github.io/tacit/
Apologies, I was replying only specifically to the second point - feel of the desktop as a user. As a user, the default Gnome 3 look(top bar only, search driven application launch) feels much better than the default KDE look to me.
Isn't one of the big issues with the opioid addiction the fact that oxycontin was marketed as being able to control pain for 12 hours when in reality it didn't last that long?

So, with oxycontin, you got a big effect at beginning, wearing off too soon, and craving another--all actions which are really good at reinforcing addiction.

If your binding strength is much better, wouldn't you get lower doses (less big effect at start), which are more effective (less craving), further apart in time (actually controlling the pain like it was supposed to). This seems like a huge win.
Seems like a fad to me. I wonder if/when Instagram will replicate the lip-syncing feature. I personally am not attracted to the app at all and find the videos pretty toe-curling. But I'm curious to see how far it goes.

Another thought - TikTok seems to be really popular with young teens. I wonder if Douyin (the version for China) appeals to the same age demographic and if users are doing more with the app than the lip-sync
> Mr. Shrem...has said in recent interviews that he went to prison with almost no money.

Please..
Yes but the doctor prescribes it first. When addicted, and the doctor doesn't want to prescribe it anymore, the street becomes the supplier. Most likely some politician or lobbyist out there is gaining on this whole chain of supply and demand, how else would a stronger drug get approved in the light of the opioid crisis we already can't handle.
NixOS is coming to WSL. Follow twitter.com/geoffreyhuntley for updates.
> We can't really compare them to the government until they have a standing army.

While I disagree that the firms in question have government-like comprehensive power, even without their own army, a monopoly or coordinating oligopoly able to lock out new participants on essential communication services would have such power, and be a de facto part of the government, even if they lacked formal command relationship over the armed forces of the host state.
You are right, 906€ for the 4TB, 1TB is 188€ (amazon prime prices)
Indeed; probably will be. Recently, yum has also included the copr plugin for using thirdparty repos, albeit a much lesser option than EPEL.
Show HN: How to talk about your “no-code” startup with potential investors
Given that "Wolf of Wall Street" was written by the Wolf himself, it is not surprising that the trail of corruption goes back to Wall Street again. He was probably in friendly terms with the financiers of this movie.
I have been a interested onlooker for > 10 years. As a programmer, KDE always seemed and still seems awesome and ahead of GNOME, API wise.

As a user, KDE always felt like an annoying blinkenlight kitchensink where everything could be modified. Gnome started out a little bit like that (with config files) but settled into a mediocre but unsurprising and thus stable and useful environment.
I've helped tens of clients launch their startups in a matter of days at a fraction of the cost because of a no-code programming language called bubble.is.

I often get asked "what would investors say?" (and investors usually have something to say about it) so I thought to share an article with you on how to approach the topic. I think it's useful for anyone who launched/ is considering to launch their startup on Bubble or other no-code platforms.
HN monitoring for the past quarter: great performance, terrible accessibility
I think the article provided good insight on this: "I wonder if the reason this approach makes more sense now is that we’re doing more generation of HTML than we were in 2003. In my tiny example, this approach to CSS actually doesn’t introduce that much duplication into my site, because all of the HTML is generated by Hugo templates, so most styles only end up being specified once anyway."

So you write your button one time in a reusable button component, then reference the component and avoid writing the same 20 styles again. I think this has benefits as it keeps all the information for a single component in the same location, making it easy to understand and edit the component from a single location.
What’s misleading? I’ve seen a metric buttload of their ads on YouTube but I know basically nothing about it beyond that.
> Anybody have any recommendations for a [Red Hat Package Manager] based distro with good KDE support?

You mean like Fedora or CentOS?

Yes, but the company in question is GS, which is headquartered in New York.

that sounds like a really fun project.

Delphi IDE Automatic parse/compile/build behavior
I am using Delphi 7 IDE on a VM in Windows 8.
It seems that almost every keystroke I make, Delphi wants to parse all of the open source code.
This is VERY disruptive since it also ignores keystrokes while this is happening, rearranged the order or the open .dfm files and bounces my keyboard cursor to some unknown place. lastly, it re-aligns the text in the editor window so I must search for the line I was typing. Is there any way to shut off the automatic parse/build/compile behavior and leave it to me to click on compile or build when I am ready to do that? Thanks for your constructive comments.
All the negativity aside, my mom had a very aggressive cancer. Found in October, she passed in May. She was getting doses of fentanyl and it was the only thing numbing the chronic pain. I'm pretty sure it was a patch like a bandaid. That said I'm glad it was available because she would have suffered even more without it.
I don't quite understand why the author opposes quaternions and geometric algebra: the geometric product is almost exactly the formula for multiplying pure imaginary quaternions (up to the real part sign).

These are just two constructions of isomorphic Clifford algebras which really are the same thing.
I'd bet the majority of the money was spent on recruiting the e-celebs to the platform.
XFS is stable but incomplete. Hopefully there will come a time when fs shrinking is possible, for example.
Gab illustrates a “catch-22” around setting out to be specifically a “free speech platform”. You initially appeal to the most fringe elements of public discourse. Your first wave of users are going to be people for whom this has been a problem, and if you’re an absolutist and let them on then suddenly that’s your base.

For me, this is one of the more profound take-aways from the article. This piece is very thought provoking.
There might be a way tune the risc-v port to this chip if there isn't one tuned already, and while it is likely you wouldn't be able to run linux well on them at the moment, and you'd definitely need some additional rw memory of some form, it would be possible, it does run on microcontrollers with worse specs.

For example here is how to get Ubuntu linux to boot on an 8-bit AVR ATmega1284p, by emulating ARMv5:
http://dmitry.gr/index.php?proj=07.+Linux+on+8bit&r=05.Proje...

And as most people know, but if they didn't, here is linux on a hard drive microcontroller

And probably the best option for performance, if it can be ported over, uClinux doesn't require an mmu.

In my experience, introspective people that constantly doubt and rethink their perception of intolerance are the most tolerant people I've met. Those that have strong conviction in their ideas of intolerance and assume that their said ideas about it are universal tend to be the opposite. And plenty of people quibble over what it means to be "intolerant" not to avoid their own inclusion in the term, but to expand the term to include their own political opponents under the umbrella of intolerance.
Pretty sure we passed that threshold for Toy Story a long time ago, but there's lots of enthusiastic discussion online regarding this topic: https://www.google.ca/search?q=toy+story+realtime

A good comparison is looking at the kinds of things being rendered in realtime at 4K/30fps on modern game consoles— even games that are a few years old look pretty comparable to 90s-era CG, or the areas that don't are constrained to things like facial animations, where the limitations are more about assets/artwork than technology.

> container styles from earlier might look something like “container mt-5 mb-5 p-20” in one place and “container mb-30 mt-30” or “container bg-dark pt-5”

I've only used Tailwind briefly for some side project, but I thought the docs made it clear that whenever you have a situation where you feel you're repeating styles you should extract them into a new CSS class. There's a whole section dedicated to that in the docs:

https://tailwindcss.com/docs/extracting-components

How would this have been prevented if those same developers weren't using Tailwind and instead simply created .container1, .container2, and .container3?

> Now that we build with small, immutable, scoped components

What do you mean by the word component? Are you talking about a React or <insert framework here> component? I don't really see how it's related. It seems like your team quickly iterated and didn't think forward about creating a common look for "containers" until a good amount of development was done. The common look could have been accomplished by extracting the common styles like the above link suggests or creating a common "Container" UI component with isolated styles. The mistake was not thinking ahead and seems unrelated to Tailwind IMHO.

Nah just try to avoid reading these publications. if you really want to understand a market you need to pay to either have a phone call with an expert or buy market research. these articles are written solely to grab your attention and get you to look at ads. sometimes they are good if the journalist had integrity but in the vast majority of cases they're not because the journalist is not an expert in what they're covering/has deadlines to meet and is churning out content on some topic specified by their boss
This can be better expressed in the geometric algebra by just considering a geometric algebra with a degenerate metric (ie. you use basis elements x̂, ŷ, ẑ and ϵ̂ where x̂² = ŷ² = ẑ² = 1 and ϵ̂² = 0). Including factors of ϵ̂ in your rotors now is equivalent to a dual quaternion.

This way, one gets the wonderful properties of geometric algebra and the useful properties of dual quaternions together.
You must be kidding if you think this is just a Malaysian thing. Nobody does scammy business with a major company like GS without them having a cut of the action. If there is one thing that Wall Street execs are not is stupid. And of course the justice system knows it, otherwise they wouldn't bring changes against them.

Survey about Parents, Kids, and VR
I've talked to some parents who use VR and it was interesting to me that some parents spend a lot of time in VR with their kids, whereas others completely forbid it or limit it severely. This prompted me to collect more data on this and I created this short survey.

If you're a parent with kids that uses VR, I'd love to hear your opinion: https://kosmosschool.typeform.com/to/YteVpJ

I'll happily share the results here with you once they're ready :-)

Bonus: We're giving away one brand new Oculus Go among the survey participants.

Full disclosure: I'm a founder of a startup and we're building educational experiences in VR.
Is this not a problem with, for example, L3 cache that is shared across cores? Is there something inherent about it that makes timing attacks impossible or is it just that we're seeing people go after lower hanging fruit?
That's not true. Fentanyl gets stolen in medical facilities all the time.
There were some pharmacists in Canada some years ago that were stealing the fentanyl themselves and reporting they were being robbed. Of course that was a stupid scheme and they got caught.
I can't speak to individual anecdotes, I was talking about healthcare spending overall. It's not speculation, here are some sources:
