I wanted to add my experiences with System76 too, which agrees with the parent comment and disagrees with yours.

I’ve owned a large desktop and laptop from System76 and had tons of issues with both, along with consistently awful customer service, needing to argue for example that I should not have to pay shipping fees when returning the desktop that arrived with a non-functional motherboard when it was first shipped to me, and then later also having to argue for System76 to manage doorside pick-up for me to mailback the return (I live in a city without a car and no way to physically carry a huge desktop PC to the nearest UPS store, and I’m not paying for a taxi to mail back something that was broken on arrival).

I’ve since switched to Lenovo laptops and just reformat at install Ubuntu on them. Much simpler process, much better customer service.
the article has the word 'workism' in the title. i believe it's extremely disingenuous to be a pedant here.
> Building an operating system kernel is not anything like setting public policy.

It absolutely is. You’re designing a complex and highly coupled system within a framework of rules and constraints. In the case of regulation, the rules and constraints come from economics, while in the case of operating systems they come from computer science. In both situations, there are no known optimal solutions—nobody has designed a mathematically optimal way regulate electricity prices, much less structure an electricity market, just like nobody has designed a mathematically optimal way to manage memory, much less structure a kernel. Thus, a lot of judgment and heuristics and trade offs are involved at every level, and the exercise of that judgment is going to depend heavily on personal philosophies. Margaret Thatcher approaches regulation very differently than Franklin Roosevelt, just as Linus Torvalds approaches operating system kernels very differently than Andrew Tanenbaum. If you hire Tanenbaum versus Torvalds to design you an OS kernel, you can expect a very different result, based on their expert judgment.

Unfortunately, a lot of people think of regulation as just picking from a menu of policy choices, and fail to realize that what you’re really doing is designing economic systems and markets.
The first and last are possible with a subset MP3 players - if just used for that purpose they are cheaper and more efficient.

All but the second may be served by a sim-cardless smartphone/mini tablet. Putting aside if you should there are alternatives.

1. Audiobooks & Music - I don’t really listen to music on the go but I’m considering an MP3 player

2. Mobile Authenticators - most password managers can handle OTPs

3. Flash Card apps (anki) - Using a Kindle for Mandarin and Bible Greek. It has language learning features that work okay, maybe a little better because there’s less temptation to quickly switch to another app.

4. Podcasts - Same as number 1

Does that not make for either a lot of wasted space, or ridiculously wide text?
I think any change in this would be generational. I grew up eating meat, and I have no interest in meat substitutes.

Also, the track record on substitute foods isn't good. Look at the health disasters caused by artificial sweeteners, artificial oils, etc.

I have an SD card slot in most point in shoots or micro SD. All my DSLRs that I’ve shot with offer CF as well.

It turns out, moving a few gigabytes of data is easier on an SD card, than having to do an iPhone style cloud transfer, especially if you’re shooting in bumfuck nowhere. Also, being able to carry a bunch of cards is handy.

Maybe it’s just a matter of binning, but I find CF cards to be way more reliable.
Reliable messaging and eventual consistency eliminates the need for transactions. Performance can be a mitigating factor. Joins are for reporting. In the cloud, performance is just a cost factor.
It’s just simply something that isn’t as big of a deal as you’re thinking. Hell, we have problems today with idiots on frequency that are technically qualified to be there but are gumming up the works.

When was the last time you authenticated that construction worker directing traffic on the ground?

Pilots fly without a control tower all the time. They’re also the final authority to the safe operation of that aircraft. If anything is amiss, we’ll do something else. Maybe that’ll mean contacting a different facility on a different frequency, or declare lost comms via transponder and go to our filed alternate while things are worked out.

Try listening to LiveATC for an uncontrolled field on a nice weekend day. (Or even a towered airport like KCMA on a Saturday at noon.) It’s controlled chaos and yet we all make it work.
And, of course, one of these is a real problem and is seeing widespread deployment and has a bright future, and the other isn't and has been failing since approximately 1994.

Yeah, I don't eat meat at this point because of health problems, but I miss it, and have zero desire to switch to that. and you are absolutely correct on substitute foods.
So are rocks.
I am asking. What would you propose?
I'd really like a USB-C-Thunderbolt-based UltraBay. That would let you do literally everything UltraBays have ever been used for and more. Can you imagine sliding the 10GbE into your laptop...
Tastier, cheaper, AND equally nutritious (or even more nutritious). I see this as kind of inevitable. It will take a lot of iterations though before the nutrients are optimized. We still don't really have a good understanding of the role played by all the components of food, and the interactions with gut bacteria specific to a person.

Rather than the pretend-meats like impossible burger and beyond burger, I am more excited for lab-grown meat. That is much more likely to have the exact same features are actual meat (because it is, after all, actual meat). Minus the moral and environmental concerns.
Inequality is bad because those with lots of capital leech off the rest of the economy (rentier class). Economic rents are a drag on the economy. In an automated world where there is no working class, there will be a capitalist/rentier class making income from capital, and a class of people who are essentially on welfare with nothing to do and no way to accrue the capital necessary for social and economic mobility. The end result is class warfare and probably real warfare with less than stellar results.
I would not be surprised if meat substitutes inevitably end up increasing the value of real meat.
I prefer ditching the Campari entirely and using Aperol.
>named has it on by default.

I stated as such in my comment you're replying to. The software that basically everyone uses for DNS management. Google DNS supports it by default, requiring you to opt out. I gave you an example, it would be greatly appreciated for you to provide a substantive, informative comment about the problems with DNSSEC or at the very least provide other material authored by other people (blogs/articles/etc) who are famous security experts who do not support DNSSEC -- you seem to know who to go to.
Anti-pattern is strong but I’d go with premature optimization because most developers grossly overestimate their ability to create the correct architecture ahead of time and underestimate the performance, maintenance, reliability, and security costs. Most of the times I’ve seen a $$$ app struggle to match 90s single-server app performance it’s been because the team was struggling under the weight of unnecessary architecture.
There will never be zero people on the planet keeping hens for eggs, you've lost your mind.

You do have a good point about the track record of some substitutes, but that ignores the track record of the health and environmental damage of our current meat consumption.
Your argument is that DNSSEC has expert support and advocacy because the reference implementation of DNSSEC... exists? Yes: people who work on BIND probably do by and large support DNSSEC.

Google does not generally support DNSSEC. It's easy to find Google security engineers criticizing it, but the most notable example would be AGL's "Why Not DANE In Browsers", which discusses why Chrome stopped supporting DNSSEC.

They are better than print debugging because they allow to even instruct applications in production without having to do any change to the application.

Stuff like DTrace and Intellitrace have OS level support to integrate with the application being instrumented, execute whatever actions are required and interoperate with the debugger. Intellitrace even goes as further as supporting time travel debugging.

Yes some of them, e.g. DTrace, do have their own little scripting languages.

I'm surprised that it's so difficult to accurately find the home row without visual feedback. Being legally blind, I've done it my whole life without thinking, and I don't recall it being hard to learn. But I suppose it might be hard to relearn after years of using sight to find the home row. Maybe a generation of kids raised on a VR headset and a keyboard would think nothing of it.
Along these same lines, something else that may not be common knowledge: there a few different kinds of student loan forgiveness. One is working for a government or non-profit for ten years. That kind of forgiveness comes with no tax debt. However under various income driven payment schemes (IBR, ICR, PAYE, REPAYE) there is forgiveness after 20-25 years (depending on the program and sub-program). Under tax law that forgiveness is taxable income to the borrower.

Consider someone that went college and grad school, ended up with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt by age 25 at an average rate over 5%, could easily be paying 10% of income after 150% of poverty line for 25 years, still end up with a principal of double or more than they started with. Since the income that year would be several hundred thousand dollars, he'd be in a high tax bracket and could easily owe more in taxes on the forgiven debt than he borrowed in the first place. In cases where a taxpayer can clearly not pay a tax debt the IRS will generally work out a 10 year payment plan based on the most they think you can afford to pay and then forgive the remaining amount. So by age 60 our not so hypothetical borrower will finally be free of his student loans.
If so, then some math equation is conscious, too. It is like asking what color is that smell?
I could be wrong about this, but I’m pretty sure all the software in both Pop and Pure come from their upstream distro’s packages. The hardware companies don’t package software themselves minus maybe a couple of firmware/driver things. I guess they could, if they wanted to, but they have very little incentive to do so and it’s not like they have complete control over the market like Apple and Google do. Pissing off their target market would be suicide and would keep potential customers buying used ThinkPads instead.

Volunteering to Setup Free VPN for Private VPN Usage
I want to help setup private VPN for those who are looking for home VPN. I will set it up on your choice of cloud provider. If you go with GCP, you can have your VPN for free as long as the server is in US. (GCP offers free f1.micro in 3 regions).

I am just doing this as hobby.

VPN will be setup with your cloud account. So, once setup, I won't have any access to your server.

I'm pretty sure the Animal Liberation, considered one of the founding blocks of militant vegetarians and vegans in occident, raised this question in… 1975. I think it would be like horses, you would still find (healthy, relatively happy) chicken, cows, pigs, in the countryside; but in smaller numbers and not tortured by millions in factories. No "unintended consequence" there.
There are some sketchy chicken dishes, like the subway chicken, who have claimed to be about half soy, although subway disputes it. But at least in terms of beef, I couldn't find a company in the top 5-6 fast food burgers that don't claim 100% beef.

> Now, how do you do this using vpshufb? You can't.

You keep mentioning vpshufb despite it's unable to move data across 128 bit lanes.

Here's how to do that with vpermps, there's some overhead but not much, very likely much faster than RAM access even when in L1: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36951611/126995

Besides, new CPUs have AVX-512 that has vcompressps instruction just for that use case.

> The L1 cache has the bandwidth to do it

It has bandwidth, but there's extra latency involved. Registers are faster.

It's the same on GPU, that's why nVidia recommends these CUDA permute lanes intrinsics over scatter/gather RAM access.

Here's a recent article about people actually using these permute intrinsics achieving quite good results: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19018240
Then again, it’s proprietary software, and much of the reason for using a System76-esque machine is for the FOSS-all-the-way-down (as much as is practical on modern-ish hardware).
I'm skeptical of any polling for the issue, mostly because polls have huge issues with data collecting and getting a representative sample, particularly on things like local issues.

Depending on

* how the question was framed ("Do you think the second headquarters of Amazon will be a positive?" vs. "Do you think the deal with Amazon will be positive?" vs. "Do you think tax breaks for Amazon are good?")

* how informed the voter was required to be; people are notoriously uninformed and uninterested about anything that isn't a presidential election

* how residents were contacted (was it a landline poll? mail? survey on the street? online? because these all have different populations to be accounted for)

* who counts as a valid resident for the survey? someone who lives in Buffalo? someone who lives in Westchester? someone who lives in Manhattan? someone who lives in Flushing? etc.

Polls predicted that AOC would lose her race, and that clearly didn't happen.
