I've been quite happy with NoMachine[0]. It has probably even more options than RDP (file transfer and drive sharing options, various graphics and audio options, etc.) You can even watch videos through it if your connection is decent. You can pick up an existing X session or start a new one.

I agree, I read the present list as “people with those concerns should not be using Linux”. Example if you require MS only software (photoshop) then stay on windows. I mean its just not practical for every software vendor to support multiple OSs.

IMO Linux on the desktop is in a remarkably fantastic state. There’s A LOT of really great distros and software that just works. My daily driver is 7 year old Chromebook with xubuntu 18.04, I do java development on this thing!!!
I'd taken that to be a commentary on the unusual shape and general uniqueness of the airship - especially for 1908.

Yes, absolutely! I’ve been thinking about a project that would require an API like this.

I’m a little surprised that there aren’t already several options. Was pretty sure I’d seen a couple of services that will print and send letters in envelopes for you, and have had a phone app for sending printed postcards for several years now.

Even if they do exist, tho, it can’t hurt to have more competition in the space.

I've owned a lot of great guitars but I find myself picking up the Squier Strat more than any other guitar I own. It did take some setting up and pickup replacement, but it plays so beautifully now. I'm willing to bet that nobody can tell the difference between the Squier and a proper vintage/boutique Fender Strat in a blind test. I know I can't.

>Dairy jerseys and laying hens are both ~12%, with meat chickens ~15%.

Does the efficiency for chickens include processing and sanitation? 15% sounds really high. Labs ought to have a much easier time dealing with no feces or feathers. And the price of chicken at present in the US is reputed to depend on undocumented immigrants working for below-market wages, which hopefully isn't an issue with technomeat.

As for dairy/eggs, those alone aren't enough of a meat substitute or we'd all be vegetarian already.
Well, I wouldn't. But people do. It makes more sense to use a SAN IMHO. I'm told it's not uncommon to use NFS for Oracle. One interesting thing is that they have their own NFS client implementation instead of trusting the kernel (they also do direct IO by default, though I'm not actually sure whether their NFS or DIO support came first).
Linux as the open-sourced work of brilliant software developers wouldn't power most servers if it sucked.

But could designing good desktops need more than just good code?

Good kernels successfully run code.
Good desktops successfully help users. I guess different goals require different designs?

Edit: to clarify, I didn't mean desktops don't require well designed software. Just had in mind that a desktop also have to take human psychology and human limitations into account.
The article is not entirely accurate, and can be hit or miss. Granted, I'm cherry picking, but I'm cherry picking the pieces which I have direct knowledge which are definitely misleading.

> ! X.org architecture is inherently insecure - even if you run a desktop GUI application under a different user in your desktop session, e.g. using sudo and xhost, then that "foreign" application can grab any input events and also make screenshots of the entire screen.

A linux user would say, "So that's not a bug, that's the power of the root user. Don't do that or lock down your root access."

Then this one:

> ! The kernel cannot recover from video, sound and network drivers' crashes (I'm very sorry for drawing a comparison with Windows Vista/7/8 where this feature is implemented and works beautifully in a lot of cases).

To be fair, if you google "Nvidia BSOD" and you'll get something like this from four months ago:

And if you think the mac's are awesome, (which the software might be, I don't know) the hardware has some serious issues which has turned me off from buying one.

Also to be fair, it's possible that Dell laptops have similar issues, but Apple hardware failures make a lot of noise in the media.
Shouldn't we just fix this one layer above? Just like the internet treat the network as hostile and use strong encryption to connect to your network provider. If someone uses a stingray you use their bandwidth but they see nothing because you're running encrypted VoLTE.

You're missing the point, which I agree with shezi is "it's a wonderful package for an ESP32". If you don't want a standalone WiFi phone and can't think of any other useful projects to use it for, then don't buy it, but I most likely will (depending on the cost) because I love this kind of stuff.
Also, I have seen many people with tape over their laptop’s camera. I have never seen a phone with tape.
You clearly have never used Linux in any form. There are multiple package managers, granted.

However, one strength they all share is: "you usually don't get .exe or .dmg"! Absolutely! Apps are integrated and not simply add-ons as they are in Windows or Apple land. When I want to install say libreoffice or wireshark I simply ask the system to install them. I absolutely do not browse the internet and download something, extract it and run some "installer". When I update my system, all apps and the OS are updated in one go.

My system is curated for me, end to end, to a greater or lesser extent. When I update, all my system is updated - OS, apps and all.

I don't think yours is (whatever it is).
The angle I was considering was size and weight. If you can keep the modules light enough to carry by hand, it means a lot less equipment for each swap facility.
That's why they're cheap. The manufacturer or telco loads them with shitware to earn some extra bucks.

You got downvoted, but I mostly agree. I think mandatory strict selinux rules, containerize all user programs, or similar approaches are now more important for the threat vectors we face today on the desktop. I just discovered Apple's feature of requiring you to press a couple keys to authenticate a new keyboard. Doing that on GNU/Linux would be very hard.
Of these, I've eaten horse, whale, shark and eel. Actually, probably I've also eaten bugs.

The shark that I've eaten is perfectly good, and better than many other fish types (taste wise).
Eel was good, but has to be prepared appropriately. Try it Japanese style.

The other two, not worth it. But again, probably something to do with preparation. Perhaps the way the French prepare horse is better than the way the Japanese do?

I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to eat human flesh. I'm surprised you've listed it.

Other animals that taste good include crocodile and kangaroo.

My point being, that taste is very subjective. You'll find people who want to eat those flavors, but don't want to eat the real thing.
I wonder if anyone is working on an open source baseband processor? I'm led to understand that existing parts are a mish-mash of documented protocols and "hacks" that are needed in practice to make it work, so I suppose it's a difficult task.

I have a friend who was complaining about Windows 10 so I set him up with Ubuntu. He's about a dumb as it gets with computers and he has never had an issue with Linux. The few things he's installed have been in the software store and he clicks the apt update once a week. He's much happier and less frustrated with Linux vs Windows.
I'm tech-savvy, but I use Linux because I'm tired of troubleshooting constant Windows problems. Maybe the OS-X world is better? But I've had the same DE for over fifteen years and nobody's tried to make it touch-friendly or stick ads in it.

The only thing that ever crashes is the web browser. I keep my computers no less than five years and they run just as fast as new, usually physically failing rather than becoming computationally incapable due to anti-virus and bloat slowing a system down.
I think the silver T490 is a little telling. Anecdotally, people are abandoning MacBooks for Thinkpads due to a drop in the quality and utility of the former, and Lenovo is trying to grab that share by... making Thinkpads more like Macbooks?

Sadly, those of us who value features only found on older Thinkpads are probably in the minority. My X220 is slowly aging out of usefulness and I'm not sure what will replace it.

It's a case where we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Humans are empathetic creatures, and it's natural for us to want to believe when someone says they've been wronged.

We are, and should continue to, listen to people when they come forward- but we need to stop unconditionally believing everything they say and take what they say at face value.

The cynic in me says that this will keep happening because this will work sometimes. Next time there might not be evidence to refute the accusation- or in the case of Kavanaugh- the damage will far outlast any punishments (I don't recall the outcome, but I don't think there was any bombshell evidence that pointed one way or another. She might have been 100% correct, but it really looks like an attempt at character assassination. I don't know what is right or wrong in that case).

If you perceive an injustice, and you execute it right, you can destroy someone publicly. Smollett has done an unforgivable wrong, but this will not be the last time this happens. Next time, the truth might not be uncovered. He both made people it more likely that people will question real victims (which will make it less likely that they will come forward), and enabled more to follow in his foot steps to try and get their 3 minutes of fame/infamy.
Hijacked high-ttl records for signed zones aren't more dangerous than hijacked, high-ttl records for unsigned zones. Why do you claim that they are?

Except for when the distro "gods" don't bother updating a package for years, so you always get the "stable" 5-year old version.
I have found its super dependent on what hardware you get, Especially on laptops. I always pick hardware that works perfectly with linux and I am left with a very premium experience but when using linux on bad hardware like macbooks and broadcom wifi everything just doesn't work right.

EDIT: My point is simply: for me... nothing really stacks up to cow flesh.

EDIT2: I suspect we don't disagree about the generic "I've eaten everything, at least once, man" conclusions very much. (Although I still find shark to be about a smelly slab of meat as a bear or a badger. Don't even get me going on pure carnivores like fox or coyote).
I do wonder about balance in drone safety, though...

...for instance, Zipline is doing amazing things in Rwanda improving the medical (okay, blood) logistics system drastically. They're legitimately saving lives regularly. But what they're doing is practically illegal in the US due to the way safety regulations are put together (although they have indeed achieved a very high degree of safety and work closely with ATC, etc... it's not the wild west). Some of that is logical... Rwanda is a developing country with a great need that overcomes a lot of safety concerns. But doubtless lives could be saved if similar drones were allowed in the US.

Second: FAA regulations have already slowed the development of electric aircraft in the US which has significant climate consequences and thus can indirectly lead to lives lost...

...that all said, I think the NTSB and FAA do a good job. Particularly the NTSB.
Detecting files that differ only in case being cloned onto a case-insensitive file system is a great feature. We recently ran into an issue when using the Nix build tool, which caches inputs based on a SHA hash, where it generated different hashes between Linux (w/ a case sensitive file system) and Mac (with a case insensitive one) machines.

Tracking that one down was pretty tricky. I didn't even consider that something at the Git level could be done to improve the situation!
> I don't find dualism satisfying either; it is not a testable theory.

I understand the sentiment here, but I also think we should be careful when it comes to the assumption that the truth -- whatever it happens to be -- will be a testable theory. Whether or not something is true is a fact independent of larger epistemological concerns.

Then again, perhaps you're just saying that if the truth turns out to be non-testable, then the truth won't be satisfying, which is a reasonable position (and I might agree).
Sure; I'm not trying to argue that they're doing something wrong here, just that a $2000 price "in case it doesn't get popular" is essentially conceding defeat on the "getting popular" front entirely.
Taiwan is also an absolutely tiny economy compared to China. That money has to come from somewhere. In the case of many countries, it means paying most workers peanuts while paying someone else 10x as much.

Some on HN are okay with massive wealth disparity and think it’s great for some international programmer to be valued far more than any local just because they worked at a company like Facebook. Some countries, like Taiwan and Japan, aren’t on that train.
I agree with you.

The OS should give you only some essential end user applications (a bare-bones text editor, a terminal, a browser) and then the user should get their specific use applications (DAW, 3D modelling software, game engine, etc) from the application developer, not the OS maker.

This is one nice thing about Go, which uses explicit fall through with break being there default. You can still fall through if you want.

However, I've come to love pattern matching in Rust. It prevents fall through entirely, which makes it unnecessary to check if the code is doing something clever with fall through, which makes the code more simple to parse.

That's the only real problem. Given popularity, everything else would quickly stop being an issue.

Energy efficiency is interesting, but it is important to see the whole picture. Maybe we should be using a land efficiency rating instead?

Take reindeer meat as an extreme case. Their energy efficiency from converting lichens to meat is not going to be 100%, but the alternative use for artic land are quite few.

Applying the same line of thought, we can find examples also for beef. There are cattle farms here in Sweden that use highland cattle to graze forest areas, including protected forests. They keep down bushes and other plants which results in an increased bio diversity. A win win situation for everyone involved.
I'm afraid that's unlikely to protect you from BGP attacks.

In theory, the Baseline Requirements require CAs to honor DNSSEC when checking CAA records. However, in practice, there are too many terrible DNS servers, and looking up a CAA record can often fail, for example because the authoritative server just drops any packet containing a CAA query. So CAs are allowed to treat a CAA lookup failure as permission to issue if the domain is not DNSSEC-signed. However, since no off-the-shelf resolver provides an API to check if a domain is DNSSEC-signed, CAs had to roll their own solutions, most of which were wrong and insecure (probably in no small part due to DNSSEC's monstrous complexity). An attacker who can BGP hijack your authoritative DNS servers would be able to get a certificate from one of these CAs.

I created https://caatestsuite.com/ and smoked out many of these bugs in 2017. Maybe the situation has improved since then, but given the difficulty in implementing this check correctly, I'm sure there's at least one CA out there that is doing it wrong, and it only takes one CA to misissue.

The author hints at the problem

> Don’t count on your operator overloads to work here, though.

> by keeping these variables around, debugging is more straightforward

The transformations the author is suggesting are not in general legal. Missing operator overloads and inconsistent debugging states aren’t something to gloss over - they’re showing you your optimisations are just wrong!

You would need a sophisticated deoptimisation system with frame states, like JVMs or V8 has, to make them legal.

Or just do enough drugs and meditation. I sort of kid, but there have been groups very committed to escaping the self, via asceticism, visions, meditation, disciplining the mind and what not with the belief that it's possible in some way. There's even Christian versions of it, although it's couched in union with God language instead of waking up from the illusion of being separate from everything else (union with the universe).
But you have to live under the wing of your distro mantainers, instead of installing whatever you want from any third party. Isn't Linux supposed to be about freedom?

Yes, you can install software using tarballs, but it's not usable for 90% of users, and not because of the distribution model, but because of the lack of standardization in a good, easy to use application-installing API.
A few killer apps and none of this would matter. Unfortunately, the linux desktop has none, which is a shame.
It's not that simple. Both 3G and 4G have mutual authentication. You need to trick the handset into downgrading the protocol if you want it to talk to your own fake base station.
>Year 2015 welcomed us with 134 vulnerabilities in one package alone: WebKitGTK+ WSA-2015-0002. I'm not implying that Linux is worse than Windows/MacOS proprietary/closed software - I'm just saying that the mantra that open source is more secure by definition because everyone can read the code is apparently totally wrong.

Huh? Those 134 vulnerabilities were found because people can see the code. If it were closed source, they would probably still be there today.
To be fair, probably 80-90% of NTSB aviation investigations final reports contain the words “pilot error”.

If you need the last version of Wireshark, it’s getting complicated. And when you have a setup with Wireshark that works why update it? I am dubious that Wireshark can be an attack vector so security updates won’t be useful. Installing last versions is very straight forward when you are on Osx or Windows. You just go to the website and download it. Plus you get the original binaries not a doctored version to fit whatever launcher and log organization is currenty trending at Ubuntu HQ. Don’t get me wrong I still love my Ubuntus. But this we need to rewrite all software to fit our distributions is not a strenght. I think this line of thinking is kind of shared by Linus himself.
