It's a small post (by a KDE dev) describing why it's not surprising to see RH dropping KDE
Apparently good Cortex-M7s get around 5 CoreMark/MHz (NXP crossover, STM32H7), so it's almost identical per MHz, and I'm willing to bet that they can get higher frequencies with less effort (if you look at the SiFive MCUs, they run at stupid frequencies compared to similar competing cores, and were generally available almost two years ago now). For further comparison, the Broadwell Xeon I'm typing this on gets about 7.2 CoreMark/MHz (running at full turbo, 4GHz, on one core).
I think you are mixing up the tax bracket with the total income tax you payed. With 36k you should pay approximately 25%. See https://www.berekenhet.nl/inkomen/belasting-box1-verschil.ht...
My particular pain point here is Apple music. I've got gigabytes of music that I've curated over the years, and had on iPods, then on my iPad. But Music has gone from a library first approach to a store first approach, it is getting pretty difficult to keep a set of tunes physically on your device. That makes me sad.
I have an old iPhone, so I can't compare the two. But what I will say is that I REGULARLY have trouble with TouchID. Hands not dry enough, or just failing to recognize fingerprint for other reasons. If FaceID does better than work, say, 2/3 of the time then I'll have a better experience than TouchID.
I really don't think so.

Whether or not the iPad pro has good hardwear is irrelevant.

What matters is that it is missing and extremely important feature, which is a mouse and keyboard.

I don't care how powerful a keyboard is if I can't use a physical keyboard and mouse for it.

Power can't beat UX, and boy is the keyboard good UX when you compare it to tablets or phones.

Having the ability to quickly knockout a potential bad actor's communication satellites etc certainly makes sense. Having the ability to launch satellites into space 10x faster and a larger quantity could be an advantage, if it came to that - whether launching unknown space-to-surface weapons or for countering attack vectors a bad actor has or is launching into space.

Re: Subsidies - As I said, Elon obviously has a bias, and the government isn't shy of subsidizing many industries and infrastructure. Likewise, if I or you want to use anecdotes as argument points, why not just saw war and fear doesn't make sense - so we shouldn't do anything proactively in the name of defense/protection?
Oddly enough there seems to be an EU/US split with KDE and GNOME. SUSE has long been a KDE backer.
Unless we see some major innovations in battery or display technology, I don't even know what new territory we expect Apple to pioneer at right now in smartphones.

The tech press cares a whole lot about having a steady stream of new and shiny things. But I think most people want to live in a world where their relationship to technology involves just buying the best one you can afford at the time and use it until it either stops working or is no longer adequate to your needs. Then you repeat.

Banking on loyalty isn't a bad thing. It means people think your product is reliable and served them well the last time they made the purchase.
Don't the Pis still have everything attached over USB?
The chilling effect is entirely about the speech suppression. One of the side effects of speech suppression is that one no longer knows what people really think, and there isn't good evidence that silencing someone changes their mind, which is the really important thing. There were vigorous efforts to silence the Nazis for example, and none of it mattered, because all speech control efforts target symptoms and not causes.

About right-wing terrorism, pretty sure that's independent, as it has always been there.
A game would be alright, but I'd settle for researchers running simulated interventions themselves and submitting it for peer review ;)
Fedora 29 still has a KDE spin
I have deployed teams in 'island' mode for our org and I'm a bit disappointed with it - we've had firewall problems with external attendees and have had to switch back to skype for that case. A few users have had the teams client crash repeatedly during calls. I don't see how anyone will move to it with issues like these.
I'll second this. Using the same Bluetooth headphones with three computers and a phone would be a nightmare with any other brand, but with the Airpods you just connect and it... works. No mucking around with pairing and for any Apple device you don't even need to open the Bluetooth menu.

I'd say it suppressed the expression of ideas, but it was not successful enough to suppress the spread. It certainly did not extinguish the ideas.

I would not say right wing terrorism was only inspired by recent online hate speech. The US always had militias, people like Timothy McVeigh, white supremacists, and so on. However, I think that social media made it impossible to "keep the lid on" these ideas. Before we could censor this pretty good in the mass media, but then mass media and mainstream society lost their monopoly of interpretation. Now people with nasty ideas realize they are not alone and come out, and organize.

It's also worth noting that many of the most visible public advocates of these drugs (e.g. Timothy Leary) were, eh, not quite operating on the same plane of reality as the rest of us, so to speak. The kind of restrained, politically correct, scientific-sounding discussions about clinical trials and whatnot are quite a bit different from the "studies" done in that era, which largely fell into two camps: incredibly unethical MKULTRA research funded by the CIA, and LSD-fueled hippies trying to start a cultural revolution by getting everyone to drop acid.
Fedora changes nothing about its KDE spin.

> all that is needed to make a drone is a 3d printer, common industrial components and software.

This could only happen in a very distant future. As it stands, firing a gun from a 3D printed drone would make it fall out of the sky. Even if it didn’t, it would be laughably inaccurate. Even still, they could be easily defeated with a birdshot.
They're just moving it to a separate channel (repository), any active RHEL subscription will also have access to the ansible channel.

It's worth more because people are voluntarily paying more. If it wasn't worth $300 more, then people would by paying less for the alternative, but there isn't one. The amount of hours I've wasted on Windows and lost productivity makes me not even think about price when buying something from Apple.
It _always_ depends on your threat model. Most people need protection from snooping family members, or people who find your phone if you lose it. For these use cases Face/Touch ID both work great. If you are trying to secure your data from the NSA, well you have probably already lost, but by all means, turn off Face ID.
Wondering why it hasn't got more publicity?
OS fragmentation: doesn't apply if you're not a developer, just pick a phone that will have a reasonable amount of updates over its lifetime

So which Android phone could I have bought in 2013 that would still be getting updates like the iPhone 5s?
Yeah, and that's fine for comms satellites. It's not so great for a 'datacenter in space' because now your data is variable latency.
I used to think the whole “X sucks we’ll never make one” was a feint to catch competitors off balances but lately I’ve wondered if it wasn’t a goad. He says something, his engineers prove him wrong, he changes his mind.

An internal message of “I dare you to prove me wrong” could be demoralizing to some but cause others to rise to the occasion.
Author here- So I'll just be brutally honest on that one- not all renders are doing that. I cherry picked the one that did that because yeah, it's amazing. There's a simple explanation for why it sometimes doesn't pick up on the guy on tv to color it- The source material is fuzzy and small.

I wish I could claim it was something more awesome than that but that's the truth! I'm treating these outputs as an art of selection to a certain extent because it's simply not 100% consistent yet. That's one of the things I'm going to continue to try to improve upon.
Seems like an easy problem for DL, as you have an enormous amount of data available (just take any color image, convert it to grayscale and you have a pair of training images).

(This is also the case for e.g. the superresolution problem.)
And this is another example where FOSS ecosystem shines. While corporations like RedHat may reduce support and maintenance costs by shrinking their packages base, I'm more than confident in KDE's future because there are plenty other distros (including Fedora) that will continue to include it.

Edit: spelling
Apple died with Steve Jobs. No new products just same shit with double and triple price. Shrinking customer base due to overpricing is the death of any company and utter betrayal of Jobs vision.
Thousands? Tens of thousands? They’re available in nearly every time zone and in nearly any country with adequate infrastructure. It doesn’t take much to find them: one Google search, one skim on LinkedIn, one minute on Upwork. Most live by making themselves highly visible to potential clients around the globe.

Honestly, I’m skeptical that this is a sincere question.
> No lender ever asks that.

I just bought a house and you're utterly wrong.
And then my laptop/tablet crashes with every update. Not to mention, they are priced similarly, yet they somehow sell less reliable devices.
Contrary to that, I've been using my 2012 MacBook Pro non-retina and iPhone SE with public beta for over two years now, and they haven't crashed even once.
Author here. Yes, it drives me nuts :)
Bird sues Beverly Hills over its ban of electric scooters
I don't know, it's always sort of been like this for KDE. Even going back to some of the earlier releases, it was always "That one DE with the funny library license". Qt was eventually moved to LGPL, but when stuff (desktop Linux) was starting to take off, KDE 4 came out and it was awful at first release. I vaguely remember Linus dumping on how bad it was which sure didn't help things.

Then Ubuntu came out (well, before KDE 4, but during the funny licensing thing), which used Gnome because Debian used Gnome. Debian used Gnome because Qt had the QPL licensing: https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#Q_Public_License_.28QPL...

Ubuntu got popular super quick, which got the DE popular, and the entire community just sort of got behind it.

If you're creating productivity tools for your customers, you probably don't want to channel money into multiple projects that compete with each other. So, it's not too surprising that RH wants to focus on just Gnome.
I find that Face ID is only a mild win over Touch ID in situations where it's better, such as when you're taking the phone out of your pocket in one motion, or when the phone is propped upright and you get more details on a notification.

But in situations where it fails I find that it fails harder and repeatedly, which makes you want to choose a simple password (perhaps that's why Apple tucks away the alphanumeric option). When a phone is laying flat on a desk, you can lean your face over the phone. When your head is on a pillow, you can lift your head off the pillow. When the lighting conditions aren't good, you can just turn on the lights and position the phone at that "magic distance" until it unlocks. But if you don't it'll just fail again and again.

As a minor point, I'm surprised that you prefer to double press while looking at your phone, versus having a fingerprint reader on the back so you can unlock your phone in one gesture of hand toward the payment system.
Device switching (particular between both Apple and non-Apple devices) is the primary reason I cannot switch to wireless, and cannot buy a phone without a headphone jack.
They are doing a thing that they care about. Perhaps others might care about it, too. You clearly do not. Therefore, you're not the target market. Why complain about people doing a thing?
What do you feel makes tablets like the iPad and PDAs different categories?
>The OS has special case Airpod code. How would another manufacturer replicate this? I don't think they could without Apple's ecosystem.

They could if Apple would license out the W1 chip, or even sell dongles with W1 functionality that convert the 3.5mm jacks in headphones into bluetooth (like one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Receiver-TaoTronics-Hands-F...).

Of course they never will, but a man can dream.
Today. But it's not hard to see the writing on the wall. If the mothership isn't interested in KDE, it's hard to believe that Fedora will continue to put any energy into it.

Maybe the volunteer community keeps it alive, but one can't really be optimistic about Fedora KDE in light of this.
I am also near sighted. I have to back the phone away from my face to get it to unlock when I am not wearing glasses/contacts. At least it will retry on a swipe-up.
> I feel Docker is a better solution to application deployment than Nix is.

So use Nix to build your Docker images (or rather OCI images).

I think the poster's point is that they're not. One has apparently been well designed to be able to scale to new features, and the other one appears not to have been.
I don't know why you're being downvoted without comment. You'reentitled to your opinion, and it's a perfectly valid opinion to have.

Personally though, I think there is one thing you're missing. If you say something controversial in a public town square: a) it is transitory and people won't tend to remember it and harangue you about it years later; and b) people who don't like what you're saying only have a limited ability to harass you.

Online people can easily call flash mobs together to harass you en-masse if they don't like what you're saying. When people have more powerful tools online to harass other people, surely we deserve better tools to prevent ourselves being harassed.

Yes, those tools will be abused in some cases; but all tools can be abused. A knife is really useful for cutting meat, vegetables, and other things... It can also be really useful for slicing throats and plunging into chests for those with such a monstrous disposition. We don't stop people having knives and we shouldn't prevent people from having tools to stop other people from harassing and threatening them online.
This was my thought exactly. Also thought seeing 6 lines being typed was too much, got the feeling I wanted to close the page. Animation went too slow and didnt really add anything anymore at that point. The power of gif-based samples is for the range 1-3 sec gifs I'd say.
You've never needed Visual Studio to build .Net projects. They have supported MSBuild from v1.0, you just needed to write the project files by hand - a very tedious process.

It's just that building from Visual Studio is by far the most convenient method.
That’s too bad. Their situation was that they were working in Pivotal’s office, surrounded by extremely high quality Rails devs who were happy to give free help and advice.

Like I said, the EM loop never worked, and instead of spending weeks banging their heads on it, Rails allowed them to move forward onto their actual problem, instead of having to invent everything themselves.

I guess I don’t know that much about SMTP still :)
> It was completely unthinkable and taboo to voice nazi positions in public in post WW2-Germany, it is even forbidden by law. But this did not irradicate Nazi thought, it just pushed it underground.

That is precisely the point of these laws. Certain hate speech and anti constitutional propaganda is marginalized in order to not allow further recruiting and preventing these stances from becoming part of a mainstream debate again.

It's an institutionalized (and therefore controversial) form of social control. The social control of ostracizing certain type of speech is present in all societies, though. If you're among ardent Christians, cursing and blasphemy is going to be 'prohibited', namely sanctioned. If you're among communists, other types of speech are prohibited. In many societies, you are not allowed to talk about certain taboo topics like sex, death, badmouthing someone's parents, etc.

Certainly nobody has ever thought that German anti hate speech laws would make Nazis go away. They were invented to prevent a new Nazi party from rising again (together with other mechanisms like party prohibition by the Supreme Court) - and also, on behalf of the allied occupation forces - to prevent further embarrassment of West Germany abroad.

On a side note, it was never "completely unthinkable and taboo to voice nazi positions in public in post WW2-Germany." It wasn't done in the GDR because of Gulags, whereas in West Germany this was always pretty common. There was even a successor party to the NSDAP that was promptly prohibited. There were right wing terrorists ("Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann") and plenty of old school Nazis who talked and still talk about nazi positions. We even have our own "Nazi grandma", the holocaust denier Ursula Haverbeck, aged 89, who was sentenced 10 month in prison but never went there.

Hydrocoin, whenever you want water simply open your tap and activate your smartphone app to deposit coins to the local M.U.D. at a varying rate starting at 1 coin / liter. As soon as the block chain completes proof of work your tap will begin to flow. If attempting to get water at a time of high blockchain volatility or transaction demand, please allow 12-48 hours for processing. It is recommended not to use Hydrocoin during hours of peak operation such as mornings or evenings due to expected load related delays.

However, I do like the ideal of literal bucket arbitrage.
People like options, especially the Linux/FOSS people. You could come to a consensus about something but it'll only go so far until some developer decides to fork it and make their own project :)
It's a quite common situation. I got a few calls from unknown number last week. I checked its phone code here https://areaphonecodes.com/india/ , it was someone from India. I never answer calls from unknown or private numbers, there are so many scam phone calls today.
I still don't think the iPad is enough even for most consumers. The competition for the iPad pro is the surface, which has more I/O that people would actually use (see that nice USB-A port and headphone jack?) but importantly comes with a full featured OS that everyone has been using for decades. I could see people moving to a surface type device over a laptop because it has a full featured OS, but iOS is just too limiting. Look at how ridiculous the 1 foot iPad looks with two fingers worth of space between every icon; its just too rigid of an OS to support all the different workflows people might have in their jobs.

I think people have used iOS long enough to see that it's pretty limited as far as file management goes. The great multitasking of the iPad is still limited to split screening just two apps, a big step down in productivity from even classic MacOS of the 90s.
Under draft bill, tech CEOs would face jail time for not disclosing breaches
They've been trying to position themselves as "safe" for years now with their "Trust & Safety Council" and other such nonsense. They repeatedly use "safe" and "safety" in their press releases about their new policies.

The replies to my previous comment including yours seem to be missing the point: of course Twitter doesn't remotely begin to deliver on any of these promises of "safety," yet Twitter is still presented as the "safe" alternative to Gab et al. Personally I don't mind seeing "hate speech" because a.) I see hate speech about my own race, sex, and religion on a nearly daily basis at this point and b.) I realize that "deplatforming hate" doesn't do anything but cause it to coalesce elsewhere.

By showing that Twitter isn't as "safe" as they claim to be, I'm questioning why we're continuing to use it instead of either a completely-free-speech or a better-curated actually-more-"safe" alternative.
> burned over and over again by large product and framework deprecations over the years.

What large framework deprecations? I've been around and I don't feel burned at all.
You might as well ask why RedHat decided on adopting the widely-reviled systemd.
Why RPM specifically? KDE Neon is very stable and ships the desktop as the developers intended.
Nightmare is overstating the case, but it is convenient not to have to manage a tether running from the phone to your head if you're doing anything active.

It's also convenient not to have to manage bluetooth pairing, though I usually find that to be less of a problem with most headphones and more of a problem with various car audio systems and some speakers.

So, Airpods solve those problems.

IMO none of this justifies removing the headphone jack and therefore the option of spending only $5-$20 on your headphones, and the particular solution package airpods embody won't justify their price for me: I've never liked Apple's earbuds, more of an over-the-ear fan anyway, $20-$40 over the ear bluetooth headsets work fine for me, if I'm spending $100+ on headphones they're going to be focused on audio quality in a way Apple will never prioritize over industrial design aesthetics and ecosystem.

But, Airpods still solve those problems, and people who love the particular package have a right to enjoy it.
Not all citable, background material is unique, and irreplaceable.

Half of the cited opinions in the article that advise against citing do so in a quantifiable manner.

"Billy's work isn't that important, other contributors have done work of similar importance, without a cloud of unethical behavior around them, you lose little by failing to refer to it, or by citing someone else instead."

Unless Billy is the first, only, and final word of authority on a subject (Which in hard sciences, or mathematics, he may well can be,) you can probably find equivalent results among his peers.
