I know that there are solutions (I use KDE, so it works differently there). The point I am trying to make is that UNIX device files were never designed to deal with the dynamic hardware configuration we see today, especially on laptops with periphery gerting plugged in and yanked periodically. And some of the solutions, like gvfs, are overly complex user space workarounds. A system that accounts for these dynamic usage patterns would have to look differently. But it does by no means have to be ugly code. In fact, it would probably be much simpler and more elegant than the current Linux desktop user space.

No, it is not "literally" slavery. It would be nothing like slavery as practiced in the United States. Slaves were property; traded like cattle, killed / lynched without justice, desecrated - left hanging on tress, burned in public. In fact they were not even allowed to serve in the military.
Some violent conflict is still a nonzero amount of violent conflict...

There are tools like XSplit which make the process simple. Of course, said tools are Windows only, since the target audience is gamers.

If there's enough of a market for simple code livestreaming, then the multiplatform tooling will follow. (or someone could fork OBS like what Streamlabs did and strip down the features).
There are robust feral populations of each of those in different parts of the world. It takes surprisingly few generations to "undo" the domestication too. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_wild_cattle
Vaguely related question. Should a draft begin, and you’re not keen on shipping out to the front lines. What could you do to avoid that that isn’t illegal? Say I have a lot of experience in something that I would think the military would make better use of like ML. Is the move to sign up pre emptively to do that? Or would you assume to be assigned to such a role if capable?
That's fair, and I commend the effort. That said, there's richer structures: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030439759...

I like your expansion upon it :)

I definitely do agree that "onboarding" could be improved. How I dunno. To me at least, it seems like I hear a lot of success stories from the tails of the spectrum - power users and developers on one side / the complete opposite on the other. And then for everybody in the middle, there's no other way to put it than it's almost a shit show:

On the software side there a million and a half different ways to do everything, and often an insane amount of "noise"/outdated info that needs filtering through to find what's relevant to your specific needs. Even at the lowest levels of the stack there is no "the one way", and I think all that uncertainty (especially from the beginner perspective) can make it feel like climbing a mountain.

Hardware, as you mention, is tricky if you don't know what to look for (and why would most people). At least from a longtime Linux user's perspective, it's incredible how much better things have gotten (since the 2.2 days in my case). But there's a ways yet to go, and it's by far the roughest where it's the most visible (ie the trendy bleeding edge). Part of that is just the nature of "lag" in open source development between code getting written, released, and finally showing up in your distro. That cycle can sometimes take 6 or 8 months, especially for hardware :(

Not that this helps users with existing hardware, but

* definitely always google before you buy (model name + "linux" and read the first page or two of results)

* stick with a non-high-DPI resolution screen

* WiFi, I've had the best luck with Qualcomm/Atheros, Intel, and Realtek (in that order)

* Graphics, get AMD. NVidia cards can work well enough with their proprietary driver, but the out-of-the-box experience is crap. Intel works great too, as long as you don't need it for anything heavy.

* Audio, for me the last time I had trouble was with one of the earlier Sound Blaster Audigy cards. Have stuck with onboard codecs since and honestly never had a problem.
Did you try notepadqq, late or kwrite?

Notepadqq is notepad++!
Also the parts are pretty universal too. We got one as a wedding present. I use it at least once a week and my wife makes bread dough in it. After about 13 years of hard use we stripped a nylon gear (designed to protect the rest of the unit). The replacement gear was available on amazon for a few bucks. That was a few years ago.
I'd not come across this before, but it appears to be true:

$ touch $(printf 'a%.0s' {1..255})
$ touch $(printf 'a%.0s' {1..256})
touch: cannot touch 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa': File name too long

By all means, volunteer if you see so many benefits in it. Try to make my family serve against their will though, and I know who I’d choose to go to war against. If Vietnam and WWI weren’t object lessons enough against a draft, then I guess the simplest solution to an attempt to impose one is to remove the people who want to make such an imposition in the first place. Especially in an era of asymmetric warfare for questionable ends, rather than fighting to survive as a nation or people.
P.S. Also, Mullvad's staff have been doing some work to try to improve wireguard.
I assume it's because they think it builds brand loyalty.

That is, they believe that the ppl who opt into Pop OS over vanilla Ubuntu, are likely to fall in love with Pop OS and therefore purchase more System76 machines down the road.

The downside is perceived to be limited since new customers can opt out of Pop OS.

Without inside knowledge around customer retention and top of funnel conversion rate, it's hard to know whether it's a good or bad business decision.
I doubt meat substitutes are going to share the same section of the supermarket as meat. If anything, they'll be categorized as frozen food, just like french fries and TV dinners.
On the other hand, if someone's enslaved me, handed me weapons, and is pointing me at killing someone who deserves it probably as much/little as I do; then it's weird they'd trust me there since I'd be much more convinced my commanding officers are my enemies.

I wonder what the fratricide rate was in times of conscription.
that's not 100% technically correct. as long as the source is released together with the device the the proper procedure is being followed. if the source is specific to the device, it wouldn't be very useful without the device anyways. (sure parts of the code might be useful, but that's besides the point)
>someone to make a decision about the one true way to do things.

Things don't really work this way in free and open source development. There is no one person to make decisions, consensus is reached when the quality of something raises "above the bar" and actually improves things for all involved parties. If someone wants there to be an über-library that serves everyone's use case then it's up to them to go and do the work to build that.

And it has been getting better in this regard. For example KDE and GNOME used to have their own IPC, multimedia & audio mixing backends, but now both have converged on DBus, GStreamer and PulseAudio, in part because these were intentionally built to be flexible low-level solutions. I'm sure there are more examples of this too but those are the first that come to mind.
To this, I ask, "Does Amazon really need the $3 billion tax break?" I get it. It is in a company's interest to get the best deal given what they can bring to a city but this idea of "let's get what we can" is increasing the perception of a greedy company that gets what it wants at any cost. Ocasio-Cortez was elected because of the growing perception that big companies only want to get all they can while leaving the common man in the poor house.

Ocasio-Cortez might have been wrong but Amazon and the politicians are just as guilty for not properly informing the people that would be affected on the benefits that Amazon would bring.

I expect this kind of result as long as big companies and politicians treat their constituents as if they know better and their constituents should accept the results.
Most of the preprocessed meat maybe. I've never put chicken in my meatballs. And meatballs are easy enough to make that for the life of me I can't figure out why anybody would buy them premade. Make a large batch and freeze them yourself. They'll be a thousand times better than the trash you can buy at the store.
Actually a very small number of those who serve utilize the benefits they have earned. Mandatory service would create a whole new environment, and likely eliminate everything listed by OP. So while I wish people could have the opportunities I had serving, it just would not work on a massive scale.
it can be but usually people want more power which OBS gives..
Do we really need a Vietnam for every generation before you learn the damned lesson?! People protested, people ran to Canada, people shot themselves in the foot, and the unlucky ones died in a jungle for literally nothing. If you want to wax rhapsodic about a pure fantasy at odds with thousands of years of history, maybe this isn’t the site for it. At the very least please at act like you’re aware of more than a few decades of history.

History is full of conscription, and far from leading to less war it correlates with endless warfare. The term “cannon fodder” isn’t new!
Mandatory military service doesn’t encourage more war, which is the bad thing you want to discourage. It encourages broad participation in preparing for and participating in war when it happens.

Just an aside, at a previous job, I worked with devs that used Macs, where I had a Linux VM on a windows laptop (and we deployed to Linux). Numerous times, I found bugs in coworkers code because they ignored case sensitivity in filenames. Yes, OS-X is BSD and unix based, but by default, the file system is cases-insensitive, like Windows, amd apparently if you make it case sensitive, you can brake a lot of popular Mac software.

> Good desktops successfully help users.

I disagree with the phrasing. I'd say that good desktops enable users. One of my big peeves about Linux Desktop culture is that they see users as beneath them. They want to "help" users by wrapping them in straight jackets to keep them from hurting themselves and shining a laser pointer on the wall to entertain them. Have a problem with the Linux Desktop? Well, "normal users" don't do whatever it is you're trying to do, and you're not a C graybeard or you'd fix it yourself, so you don't exist according to their model of the universe.

Setting drinks on fire is a decent example that is alone enough to justify what I said. Some people care whether you pour over ice or put ice in the drink. Whether they can tell the difference is anyone’s guess. “Lace” is cocktail terminology for the last ingredient. Muddling is another example; you don’t muddle after you mix. Sugary syrups and other infusions definitely change a drink’s character depending on mixing order, many drinks call for being less mixed so you get a different taste at the beginning vs the finish at the end.

You can also think about recipes and cocktail names; order does matter to the corpus of recipes and lore and creative naming of drinks as much as it may (or may not) matter to taste. I didn’t invent cocktail history, so it’s not exactly my place to defend this, but I believe it’s fair to say that there are lots of recipes that call for ingredients in a specific order, in addition to all the examples where order is clearly needed/used.
Speaking from experience, you could tell which Brigade on post was deploying soon because a lot of the females all of a sudden became pregnant. We ignore these things at our own peril.
> Every implementation of Python is based on CPython.

Not quite true - there are notes in the documentation that call out parts of CPython's behaviour as "implementation-specific".

These are quite rare though. I seem to recall the suggestion being made that MicroPython shouldn't call itself "an implementation of Python" simply because its internal string encoding is UTF-8.

> This also leads to the sad fact that every non-CPython implementation has to provide C API that's compatible with CPython if they want to be adopted widely.

A specification for the C API wouldn't necessarily help with this. The problem for alternative implementations is that the C API is closely tied to CPython internals - there is no reason that having a specification would change that.

Designing and specifying a more abstracted API would be useful - but I don't see it happening.

There's a bit of an emperor's clothes problem with microservices. If microservices are never combined together, they are essentially monoliths under a cooler name. But as soon as you combine them, you run into the same problems that are solved by traditional shared database systems. Here are two: cross-microservice referential integrity, and cross-microservice transaction coordination, but there are plenty more.

Take the Orders/Customers example of the article. Assume the Customers microservice has some notion of identity, and that the Orders microservice contains a "foreign" reference to Customers identity. If the microservices are truly independent and autonomous, then the Customer microservice should be able to change its scheme for Customer identities, or a delete a Customer. But then what happens to the Orders that reference that now old and outdated Customer identity? If changing the Customer microservice breaks the Orders microservice, then what's the point of the separate encapsulation? Traditional shared database systems have ways to deal with this kind of referential integrity. As far as I can tell, this issue is ignored by microservice architectures. As is the larger issue of cross-microservice constraints (of which referential integrity is just one instance).

The thing that really gets my goat is the lack of cross-microservice transaction coordination. In its place, we get all sorts of hand-waving about "eventual consistency" and "compensating transactions". Growl. Eventual consistency has a meaning that's related to distributed/replicated storage and the CAP theorem. Maybe its principles can apply to microservices, but the onus is on the microservice proponents to actually connect those dots. And most importantly, eventual consistency is implemented and supported by the DBMS, not by application developers. The thought that each microservice will independently implement the transactional guarantees of consistency and isolation should fill everyone with dread. That job should belong to the overarching system, not to individual microservices. It's too hard to get right.

So for now, shared database in microservicew is not an anti-pattern. It may be the only workable pattern. When microservice frameworks grow up and offer the capabilities of shared database systems to microservice developers, then we can talk about anti-patterns.
Based on my own personal experience of putting myself in a position of dying now probably more times than I can count (unfortunately), I've been seriously wondering if the universe does contain all of my deaths as well, but my consciousness stays on a path where it can continue, because that's all it can do.

Though that still raises the question of why this particular set of living experiences and not others.

Also, if this sort of thing is the case, I think it would make being a moral person significantly more complex. You would need to not only make moral decisions, but create as many moral possible universes as possible and shut out the immoral universes from existence by not creating paths to them. Though I guess that would make me a highly immoral person at this point (causing pain and suffering in all the universes where I've died), though I do try to be moral in this universe as much as I can.
Please help to suggest.
The best part is that they cannot afford to stop doing that.
I suspect it's because in the end all they're really selling is a barely differentiated commodity. Sure, they might spec one bluetooth chipset vs another etc with their contract manufacturer to get the needed driver support. But once that's done, it's a pretty bog-standard PC with the main value add being not including and charging for a Windows license. Rolling their own theoretically different, but really largely just a re-branded, distro gives them a way to differentiate even though it's largely a distinction without a difference. If all they shipped was a vanilla distro on top of the hardware, they'd really only be offering configuration and tech support services for competitors who will just ship a PC with the same hardware configuration for a few bucks less and point them to the same vanilla distro.
looks interesting, but what is the price? even an estimate would be helpful.
I am not a fan of draft, never have been but your argument however well intentioned bolsters that of a (VN) vet I know, he was & remains a pacifist, He believed he would be drafted so he signed up just so he could have some choice and became a medic.
Bad things(tm) did happen.
He supports the draft because in most groups there would be an unwilling participant or two who would function as a tiny shred of moral compass. When you got a group entirely self selected to do bad things(tm), he reports it gets much worse.
Keep in mind this is a result of great powers applying simultaneous asset inflation and wage suppression to destroy this country.
I hate this too but I think it's intentional - as once you sign in the banner will disappear on scroll
Panpsychism is exciting. But there are two problems in it. One is the combination problem: what sort of collection of atoms are conscious and what are not. If you propose then that only agents or complex systems are conscious, you are faced with the second problem: the boundary condition. What do you call an agent, and why?

I’m ultimately hopeful that subjective experience will come to be seen as something fundamental. But the difficulty is that we can’t just make up new entities / concepts in the world that don’t agree with current scientific facts. So such a science of consciousness has to be compatible with modern findings of neuroscience and psychophysics.

It’s exciting times! Let’s hope that we’re able to get a grip on this question of why we have this subjective experience of red colour.
Netflix blocks majority of VPN but in contrast Spectrum/Brighthouse is in long-term fight with Sling Tv and they block them unless you use VPN. So you win some you lose some.

ExpressVPN has been great to me and I continue to fail finding bad news about them. They dont offer any discounts tho and Im on $99/year plan but I was tempted to get NordVPN for half thatprice. I gave up on setting up their stone-age designed router software and came back to Express. Express has amazing software for N7000 router series and it allows me to exclude iPad that I use to watch Netflix while rest of network continues to be secure. So with their router software and $99/year you have unlimited amount of devices covered. Speed is amazing too and number of servers avail is very hight. Honestly I feel its worth double the proce I would pay for Nord, as I put it in my company costs anyways ;)

I could not recommend them high enough.

"that goes against every core value of the United States."

This is upside down, but maybe an understandable perspective for someone who is from (or very familiar with) a totalitarian state?

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" - JFK

Civic duty is absolutely a 'core value' of the US, and most other successful nations.

I'm constantly amazed not only at the level of civic cynicism among large swaths of people, but also that so many don't seem to grasp that our social systems are utterly dependent on civic duty, not self interest.

Civilizations are not made by Mark Zuckerbergs, they're made by your mother, father, brother, neighbour, guy down the street - all doing their jobs responsibly and effectively, and being good citizens irrespective of what the laws are.

Yes, DNSSEC works fine for endpoints if we eliminate globally the concept of a DNS client and a shared cache and just have everyone run their own DNS servers.
There is no legitimate reason to draft anyone.

If you don't respect human beings as individuals in the first place, we already lost.

What's interesting is that even aside from build quality, that little red eraser wad basically pushes Thinkpads outside the normal comparison shopping market.

If you don't like touchpads, your choices are basically "buy a Thinkpad direct from Lenovo" or "try to find the weird corners of the world where they actually mention, let alone sell HP Elitebooks and certain Dell Latitudes, and then find they're mind-blowingly expensive because they basically only compete with the high-end ThinkPad series."

I ordered a new laptop recently, and the ThinkPad option (an E585 plus adding my own RAM and SSD upgrades) clocked in about 40% cheaper than buying the comparable Elitebook. Even if the bottom were epoxied on, and you had to pay heir absurd prices for RAM and storage, I'd probably have ended up there.
This pretty much guarantees we'll never have a draft in America again for bullshit reasons like Vietnam if it's upheld by the Supreme Court.
Sorry, I can't interpret this; are you missing a verb?
> Can we give it up with these meat substitutes already?

Who should give up on them? The people who like them? The manufacturers? There's clearly a market for good-tasting meat substitutes. If they serve enough peoples' wants and are nutritious while being better from an environmental perspective, why not just live and let live?
