You are not alone. I have witnessed similar changes in people older than me. I have also been wondering how to prevent that.
Granted, I've only passed through, but there were no homeless people shooting drugs in the middle of downtown, it was clean, apparently schools are quite good, and being in a middle of the country you can get to some more exciting places easily enough.

When somebody was trying to recruit me there, looking at the offering range and housing prices, I could fly myself to the French Laundry pretty regularly, and still come out ahead.
The author mentions, however, that he also bought a new Librem 13 laptop to go with it. So presumably he ditched the Macbook hardware as well.
This is directly relevant to that Cory Doctorow article from yesterday.

In real world inventions someone could make a compatible piece and users could just buy it and plug it in. Say you have a clever new attachment for a vacuum cleaner.

In cyberspace you can make things incompatible by law, and it's very effective to police.

So what should you be allowed to do this with?
Those are vector fonts. We're discussing bitmap fonts instead.

Nothing surprising about vector serif monospace fonts, since Courier and variations―which likely constitute way over 50% of all use of monospaced fonts―are slab-serif fonts.

Yeah, offset touchpads are a big thumbs down. Basically just look for the models without dedicated numeric pads. Fortunately those don't typically start showing up until around 15" form factors.

How do you mean "unique"? It's pretty unique in that there exist no other well-known gradient noise algorithms, besides simplex noise which is a) much more recent and b) also devised by Ken Perlin.
Yesterday I played a classical game vs an opponent rated higher than me and lost. Afterwards I analyzed the game in a lichess study, and my opponent was nice enough to share his thoughts in the study. It was an awesome experience. There are great parts of the community as well.
I recently installed Pop!_OS from System 76 on a newly purchased thinkpad x1 extreme and it has been an absolute joy. Pop!_OS's lineage is up the Debian/Ubuntu branch but has a lot of features that make for a practical experience. You can easily switch between Nvidia and Intel embedded graphics for example.
Well, I thought about that while ordering. Sent a mail to System76 which was the only company I knew about besides Dells XPS (that wasn't available in my country at the time). They didn't have chargers that fit with the european sockets and their system was still more expensive than the other options anyway. Plus, if something goes wrong, there is no real support available in my country. I would have to ship it half around the world for any support.

Even on hardware that are supposed to be supported, I have many times run into problems because of it only supports x distro or something like that. Sure it often is an pretty easy fix, but you still have to dig into to config files, read forums on the internet to get help.

How much différance does it make? An American philosopher in France
I remember when CNN launched. News all day was a novelty; no other TV network was like it. I was a kid, but it did seem to me to be much more conservative (in the sense of not overtly sensational) and "straight" news at the time.

I guess today's CNN and their much more pronounced left-wing orientation is just a response to the right-leaning stuff from Fox? Or it just seems more left-wing now in comparison.
My point stands. C/C++ aren’t memory safe. You can’t just copy stuff around in memory and expect the compiler to fix it for you when the sizes don’t match. This isn’t Python or Node.

I’m seriously curious as to why the non-n versions are still allowed to compile. The dangers seem way too real.

Spoken like a true believer.

Badly written or maintained scripts were just that, and not the fault of the technology. Same goes for not incorporating new kernel features.

Writing auto-recovering SysV init scripts was (and still is) possible. I will not dispute that many scripts were often ignorantly hacked together copies of already existing (bad) examples.

While I do use systemd myself, I (so far) have not seen anything revolutionary in systemd that is impossible without it. It's just another technology with positive and negative aspects.

For something as crucial as an init system, I believe that the code quality might be questionable at best. Same goes for some of the design choices and the feature creep it tends to have.
Yes, he didn’t have to ditch Macbook though.
Same thing happened to me. I chose a top-end Pixelbook that runs Debian in a container (termed "Crostini" on chromebooks). I've had some issues, but Crostini continues to improve with every chromeos release, and I really like the hardware.
Boostnote (https://boostnote.io) with notes stored in the relevant repos.

Its not perfect (Boostnote really only supports local files) but it does mean our shared body of knowledge is versioned to what is in our repos. If someone makes large changes they can work on documentation while they are developing the change knowing that their docs are only released when their change is merged.

If Boostnote was aware of this workflow or allowed editing directly to remote repos it would be pretty much perfect.
All of that said, what's with the bright manila color theme? There are plenty of people using i3 with a particularly awesome looking setup. Now macos and windows people are going to see this manila paper theme and think, that looks like 90's crap, fuck linux. So that's great :/
Software patents poised to make a comeback under new patent office rules
This is a shameless plug, but if anyone wants a nudge toward Linux (Ubuntu), coming from Mac, I have a recent write up of things things that I personally gain by using Ubuntu over Mac. https://code.mradford.com/post/ubuntu-vs-mac/
I've been running Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome) on my Dell XPS 13 for a while now and its been working quite well. My biggest concern was mobility, like attaching it to different DPI monitors and have things work well still. With Gnome as my shell, it has been keeping up quite well with the expectations (except some programs not picking up changes right, e.g. IntelliJ).

I had moved off of OSX after the new gen of MacBookPros were unusable for me. I was using Windows + WSL for a while but eventually decided to give Linux a try. Things have been quite smooth really. Since most of my dev is around docker etc. it feels like home (not that OSX Docker experience was bad, Windows I can't say).

Agreed completely.

In addition, a huge difference between traditional media, and modern "fake news" is accountability.

As biased as they can be, traditional articles always come with an author name, and published or run under the responsibility of the media themselves.

They can, and often do, give a specific story a slant which supports their point of view or agenda, but they really cannot outright lie, since they would be called out or even be subject to legal action:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/23/sicilian-journ...

"Fake News" have no traceable source, no attributable author, no accountability.
No. You need to learn Three languages, and at least one of them well. Preferably these languages hit different paradigms. That is my minimum requirement for a junior developer.

This sounds a little bit too defensive, really.

There's nothing wrong in living in SV, as long as you like it. Or liking it. It is wrong to try to make it out as if it were the best place fro everybody; or even everybody in "computers". It's quite demonstrably not, just like it's not quite that engine of innovation, especially world-changing innovation it used to be.
I'm surprised to not see any reference to "Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials," a well-supported account of the interactions between parenting norms and the economy. In a sentence: there is more and more pressure on parents to train their kids, so they enter the workforce more valuable to employers.
Since you said "even discussing", might as well mention that the Rust community has discussed adding 2FA support to cargo: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/requiring-2fa-to-publish-t.... But as far as I know, crates.io/cargo still has no 2FA feature of its own.

On the other hand, if your crates.io account is linked to a GitHub account, you could have 2FA via GitHub. So I'm not entirely sure whether "cargo supports 2FA" would count as true or false at the moment.
Looking good, you're right it's not for everyone but it will be the right solution for some, so don't get discourage from these mostly negative (rightly) comments. I see you comparatively to Serverpilot which is another server management for dummys type of service, they have made themselves a nice niche in the novice website admin community, which is where I see your service succeeding. Having said that one reason for the success of Serverpilot is that the founders had excellent reputation in the dev community as long time Microsofties, but browsing Shellvault I see no information who is behind the service. I have no idea who you are and that's what makes me hesitant about using your service. Some background info would help. BoL.

I resurrected a little NUC computer from a former employee. It has 16GB RAM and a 256GB SSD drive. It runs Ubuntu 18.10 fine. The display port runs my 4k monitor @ 60Hz.

I bought a USB bluetooth dongle and the smallest microphone I could find on the internet so I can use my old bluetooth mouse and do audio conference calls.

I am really loving it for Docker based development b/c it feels like it runs a lot faster.

I also love the Home, End PgUp and PgDn keys. Keyboard shortcuts are tough. As is muscle memory going back and forth.

My goal is to keep my macbook in my backpack and never take it out during the workday. On most days, that's what happens.
One would ask himself how the BSDs manage to do it (no systemd), Android (no systemd), ChromeOS (no systemd), Solaris/Illumos (no systemd) ...

Your arguments hold no merit whatsoever. The fact is that all the problems you describe have been solved, properly, multiple times _before_ systemd entered the picture. The reasons behind systemd mass adoption were political and Redhat exerted a lot of pressure at the time and in many ways, still do.

This might be weird, but what I want is something like a real TempleOS. Maybe something like a kernel and all the apps are written in Rebol, where the whole base system including window manager is 1MB max and you can easily, instantly drop into a mode where you can edit anything down to memory and CPU registers.

It seems to me that what the Linux desktop gives you is a bad compromise between this hackers paradise (which isn't very practical and very productive in one quirky mode) and a software developers paradise (quite practical and productive in a wide variety of modes). The right solution is a late 2016 MBPr (the one with magsafe and SD card and good keyboard), and a Thinkpad with my fantasy RebolOS running on it.
JSLinux is not magic - it too does not have raw access to TCP sockets required to terminate SSH in the browser as you think it does.

As described in its FAQ, it uses websocketproxy[1] for network access. This is a separate server application running on https://relay.widgetry.org/ . JSLinux absolutely cannot access raw TCP sockets, and ergo cannot terminate SSH connections, without it connecting to this websocket proxy. You can see this even in the Network tab of devtools.

Sure, you could spin up a websocketproxy yourself, but as I explained in a previous response to you, the value proposition of Shellvault is that you don't need to spin up any servers and host them yourself - this service does it for you.

There are plenty of theories, collected on the FRB theory wiki (https://frbtheorycat.org/index.php/Main_Page).

On that wiki you can sort them alphabetically, which one professional in the field has termed "the most sensible way of [ranking them]", but other than that there's no clear consensus.

It's not really surprising: until the Chime results there's only been a single FRB that has recurred, so mostly the theorists have had a small collection of strange noises with no context that they should try to explain. Given the breezy restrictions imposed by "no context", they've taken some liberties.

End-user Linux has definitely improved in the last few years.

It offers a lot of attractive features for what I imagine to be the typical HN demographic.

That being said, it's still got rough spots that OSX doesn't. It works great when it works, but when it doesn't....

Font rendering, display/compositor fragmentation etc...

Inb4 the anecdotal "well it works for me I just had to download the xf86 font library and compile with a legacy glibc version..." crew comes in with a thousand and one rebuttals. Problems like that are still a suboptimal user experience, no matter how you slice it.

I'd definitely consider a Linux daily driver for some of my work, but there are things that are just going to be less painful on Apple.
I like terminal based music players when I’m doing work exactly because the terminal already feels like work, so it doesn’t feel as much like Tidal or Bandcamp or SoundCloud are open in the background and something I could get distracted by. For keeping it out of sight, tmux or any terminal multiplexer is great at that.
Yes.

You're not accounting for internal and external to the US attempts to manipulate our democracy via social media. The IRA created fake accounts to encourage tribalism and partisan thinking. It's not new for Americans or companies as well, there's been manipulating the web with bots and disinformation ourselves for years. To say it's purely clickbait is to ignore a large amount of evidence that it's also politically motivated.

Easy to get in and out unlike other places where you cannot get in after it started.
Creatine is not an essential nutrient and is produced naturally in the human body from amino acids glycine and arginine which i can get from legumes amongst many sources. Carnosine comes from amino acids, which i can get all 9 of from legumes and whole grains. D3 from mushrooms. DHA my body converts from ALA, which i get from nuts amongst many other sources. Heme-iron I don't specifically need, I just need Iron, which i get from whole grains, legumes, nuts etc. Taurine comes from amino acids, see Carnosine.

The tiling window manager equivalent would be to put it off in a high-numbered workspace, or alternatively, in a detached screen/tmux session.
I recently switcher from a Lemur to the new MB pro. I'm a vim user so whenever I code I use an external keyboard that has function keys. I seriously miss my i3 setup and my MB in particular had hardware problems (overheating, video card issues). What I didn't like about the Lemur was the battery (life, didn't hold charge for too long), the screen and the touch pad. For anyone that used Librem, how's the battery and touchpad ?

I am not sure what you are getting at.
"systemd" deb package does contain lots of binaries, 73 in my case:

dpkg -L systemd | xargs stat -c '%F %A %n' | grep file.*rwx | wc -l
73

Each binary does one thing. So for example /lib/systemd/systemd, the PID 1 process, only starts processes, nothing else.

Now, some people complain that "systemd" package contain other binaries, like systemd-networkd, or systemd-journal-gatewayd (the HTTP server). I don't understand their problems. Sure, it is annoying that "systemd" package contains network manager -- but you don't have to use it; in fact, I am not using it at all.

So I do not see the irony. I think 73 binaries, each optional, easily replaceable, and doing only one thing, is very much inline to microservices philosophy.
Why are people still using Unity? They've proven to be extremely hostile to their users over and over again.

I so wish the Linux community would get its act together and implement a working usable clipboard. It's the one thing I miss the most whenever I switch from Mac OS to Linux.

On a Mac, you can cut/copy/paste using predictable keystrokes in any application, anywhere. And there is a single clipboard. On Linux, you have to deal with a multitude of behaviors (middle mouse button, Ctrl-C, others, and does it paste where the cursor is or do you have to click the middle mouse button exactly where you want stuff pasted, etc).

And I'm not even talking about multiple media types: all I need is plaintext.

The second dream wish would be for consistent keybindings in all text input boxes, like in Mac OS. Such as make Ctrl-A always go to the beginning of line, Ctrl-E always to the end, and Ctrl-K always kill whatever is in there.

If I had that, I think I could use Linux without getting annoyed every couple of minutes. I would still miss apps like TextExpander, flawless drag&drop, and lots of other things, but I could at least use it without frustration.

Unfortunately, none of this is likely to happen. If you wonder why, it's enough to look at the responses that will surely land here:
In September and January of last year Unity raised a considerable amount of cash [0].

It seems like VCs want their growth number up and Unity has a very clear plan to run their engine in the cloud to create artificial growth by being the sole vendor of Unity Multiplayer Hosting.

There is a large difference between what people "want" (at a given moment) and "like." It's very much possible — and I'm pretty sure you're currently advocating it — to make people "want" things they don't actually like. Yeah, it's a weird glitch in our brains.

Also, you are making a very good case for destroying capitalism, so that's good.
