It doesn't really matter. Ubuntu Studio is a distro tailored for multimedia production. You are not going to use that on a machine with a small amount of RAM.

For comparison, I am running Mageia 7 with Plasma and after the entire day of working (C development, browser open with many tabs, e-mail ...), the machine shows 3.5GB used RAM with another 6.5GB of cache/buffers, out of 16GB of RAM.

Squabbling over few hundred MB of RAM that Plasma may take extra is ridiculous when a web browser alone can take 2GB+ RAM and a large RAW format photo loaded in Gimp or Krita detto.
Is this a joke? There's so much overhead in getting a working setup compared to MacOS, and only one of the major DAWs even runs natively on it. The tools are far from "excellent" compared to the offerings on MacOS and even Windows.

I can't even get the Jack server to start on my Ubuntu machine. It's not snobbiness, the software isn't there and what is there is user hostile.

I know the reply to this comment is "have you tried X, or just do Y then Z!"

On Mac I install software and double click it. I plug in my interface. Maybe I plug in a dongle if I need it. That's it. There's no messing with configurations, installing or uninstalling dependencies, drivers that work, driver management software that works (or just exists), and no bullshit like jack needed at all.

Linux, including Ubuntu Studio is miles away from being sensible for any audio content creation. The experience is horrible.

NPR also published an article [0] on the same topic this morning, which is not behind a paywall.

The notion that "the more minor things happen, the greater the probability of a major incident", a common interpretation of the Heinrich-Bird pyramid, is often criticized nowadays concerning complex high-hazard systems (as in fact argued in the risk-engineering.org page that you linked to -- I know this because I wrote it).

I'm not familiar with Tesla assembly lines, but my understanding is that they are highly automated with complex robotics. This would be a typical example of a system where many safety risks are systemic and more strongly dependent on design errors than on worker safety behaviours, which is exactly the type of system in which the structuralist interpretation of the Heinrich-Bird pyramid ("reduce the small stuff at the base of the pyramid and the stuff up the top will drop down and disappear") is really inappropriate, as it can reduce attention paid to safety at a system design level.

Thanks for the feedback!

When we say women control the blur, it means she has control to change the blur level but men still have to accept/reject the change. So women can control the percentage, men can only say yes or no.

We give women control to make it a safe environment for women because we saw in our beta that (unfortunately) most men would straight away request to lower the blur.

In same-sex interactions, the one who accepted the incoming call has control of the blur, the one who initiated the call can only accept/reject.
It's 10k jobs. Could easily support 50k (directly/indirectly and dependents of the workers). That's a big number especially we are talking counties not states.
I think the second reason is probably more important. What languages were pushed by a big company but weren't a primary interface to a platform?

The only ones I can think of are Java and C#, which are very big languages, but combined they're dwarfed by these languages, which follow the second rule:

C (Unix), C++ (compatible with C), JavaScript (browser), Objective C (OS X and iOS), Kotlin (Android), bash (first program to run on the Linux kernel)

That’s a nice feature. But it has little to do with Windows/OSX equivalence.

It also highlights something I felt last time I tried KDE (admittedly a while ago).

There were lots of nice UX innovations and polish. But they didn’t feel familiar to me (as a user of many desktop environments). This makes switching much less of an appealing prospect to me.
Mageia could be an option.
Good move.

I've played with various DEs, and my work desktop still runs with Gnome (I do not really get a choice there).

At home I've been using KDE for years. It's the only one that makes sense to me. I use it on both Laptops and Desktops, small screens and big screens.

Code comments like these frustrate me

It's obvious from the names of the functions WHAT they do. The point of the comments are to tell me WHY they are necessary. The project feels like commenting for the sake of commenting. I honestly don't know why a "routing tree" is necessary and how it's helping.

> Is it a cultural thing Americans are so detached?

I suspect so. Every inch of our culture pushes 18yo's away from siblings and parents. Some families overcome that and some don't.

Through most of human history, families were physically close enough that parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles became interchangeable & elderly parents didn't have to die alone in nursing homes.
This is a nice idea, especially for a case where a website is collaboratively edited. I don't love Google Docs for solo projects, and I don't enjoy using it, but its collaborative editing features are so good and reliable that I can't escape it. Being able to suggest and accept changes with commenting among a group of people would be really nice for a website for a collective, say.

That said, a bit of small, hopefully constructive feedback. The impact of this would be a bit bigger if there were more blog posts, so that by the time you reveal you're using google docs it feels more like a practical application and less like a very quick demo. Also, while I understand that there's a sort of "coder who doesn't do design" aesthetic, it might be good to at least change the colors a bit so that there's a bit more magic of transformation. This looks a bit too much like, well, a Google doc, and you want to establish that something cool is going on that couldn't be done with just an index of publicly visible google docs.

Its heartening to me to see this here, and to see people understanding that science and scientism are not the same thing. Scientism is actually anti-scientific. Science is a practice and a process, not a cult idol or a dogma.

I think a lot of people have promoted scientism in an attempt to fight low superstition and other obvious bullshit, but I think that's a devil's bargain. You may get some superficial acceptance of "science" that looks like progress, but you are not actually teaching rational thought. You are just getting people to misuse science by placing in the same role as any other superstitious idol.

I also think it in part is responsible for the huge resurgence of "scientific" racism. That stuff looks like science and sometimes even is, albeit of a cherry picked and spun nature and interpreted in a way that is devoid of deeper philosophical consideration. To really refute it requires both a deep study of the real science and of topics like ethics, morality, history, epistemology, and language. It's hard for that kind of discourse to compete with a few graphs and color coded maps and memes that all say "science."

You also have things like "Plandemic" that I am personally seeing catch on among some who have a cargo cultish belief in "science" but no understanding of what it actually is nor desire to really learn. Those videos and memes also toot the dog whistles and pay homage to the shibboleths of scientism, but they are maybe even further from actual science than race/IQ dogma.

Cultish idolatry of any form biases the audience toward short simple catchy messages that pay homage to the idol and toot the right dog whistles. Longer form discourse loses, especially if it even tiptoes anywhere near questioning the idol or the cult. Even if an idolatrous cult starts from ideas and premises that are somewhat rational it will drift into lunacy over time.

I agree. Purpose is important. However most things that are worth doing are hard. As a result we will experience moments doubt and uncertainty even when when the purpose is clear, and then it is easy to slip into procrastination. In addition for most people we also have tasks we can't avoid. Like filling out tax reports or travel claims.
Good enough vs Best

I have similar problems sometimes- and remind myself the power of "good enough". Striving for "the best" will often leave you unsatisfied. So instead of thinking "which is better?" think "is this one good enough?"

"If you ever aren't sure if you attended the very best party or bought the very best computer, just settle for "good enough." People who do this are called "satisficers," and they're consistently happier, he's found, than are "maximizers," people who feel that they must choose the very best possible option."

I do not understand what is going on in US and in UK. Both have reached some plateau but the daily new cases are not going down. This has been going on for over a month.

I presume that this is result of too late reaction to the outbreak but perhaps somebody knows better.
I think you're wrong.

There are two distinct populations (in UK), those of poor vocabulary who use swearing all the time and don't seem capable of speaking in a nuanced way. And those who have the vocabulary to not swear, can still express themselves without expletives but choose to use them depending on the company/context they're in.

I found as a teenager that I'd swear to try and appear cool, and when I lacked sufficient nuance to my vocabulary to clearly express my feelings, and decided I wanted to do better.

I don't really care if you swear - except in front of children (because they have to learn not to swear in the wrong context when they can get in trouble from others who are more conservative) - but unless you demonstrate otherwise I'll assume it's lack of decent vocabulary.

Almost all people I've worked with who've sworn a lot (amongst general company) have had very low levels of education.

I don't really understand the whole "these words are shocking" attitude, eg cunt, people give simple utterances too much power.

I wish IDEs (with collaboration from git) made it clear what should and shouldn’t be checked in to source control (or rather they had a way to do both) - where I want to store per-person level settings as well as shareable settings.

In this particular case though - IntelliJ itself would have prompted him to add these files - so those are in fact shareable files

Note: I do know IntellJ purposely excludes workspace.xml , but these things should be handled much more explicitly and IDE should provide better conventions and guidance.

A War Won with Spam
Very little commercial use of Racket is maybe an understatement. A few notes to people thinking about commercial use of Racket...

The big customer of my consulting business (public sector) did amazing "force multiplier" things with Racket and my help, even when many general-purpose libraries had to be built in-house. But there were virtually no other prospective clients in that niche after over a decade.

There are a few organizations who use Racket to great production effect. But two problems for consulting&employment for those:

* Their generally one-person teams could usually do everything that's needed, and perhaps some developers prefer that;

* When they would like additional help, they generally didn't have the money/authority to pay HCOLA developers.

I tried half-heartedly for a few years to promote the idea of doing one's startup prototype with Racket. But the browser-side and iOS&Android app stories aren't there yet. And my own startup, I self-funded too long before my co-founder and I realized we should've found a CEO to court funding months earlier.

The startup where I currently lead engineering uses (for historical reasons) Python for server backend and for device interfacing on a light embedded system, and framework-like JS on one frontend, and interfaces with a SaaS for a different frontend. All the Python bits could've been done in Racket, and Racket would've been more productive and fun to work with, but it's not worth rewriting at this time. I recently prototyped a new embedded system frontend in Kivy, and was able to get a running GUI mockup nice in a few hours, but realized afterwards it would've been better with Racket's GUI toolkit.

When I recently had to pick a method to do an iOS app that wasn't consumer-facing, I was tempted to use Gambit Scheme. But I decided on Swift and SwiftUI, to be safe, and so we'd have more experience with it for the next iOS app (consumer-facing, for a high-quality/prestige brand) that was more likely to need a more-native toolkit and APIs.

That said, if someday I have a startup that uses Racket or another Scheme (or another fringe platform), I expect the platform appeal to help me attract a larger pool of higher-powered developers than I otherwise could.

If you're considering using Racket for making money, one start is to participate in this low-traffic email list (which has some unusual conventions): https://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-money/

It’s a shame that gmail ignored long-standing methods of threading email chains that other clients already had been doing for years, in lieu of their subject based 100 email limit conversations.

It’s also a shame that they also helped enforce top posting, especially considering how ludicrous it is in the context of threaded emails.
To me the problem with bloat is that it makes projects harder to maintain, also more bugs, not so much about ram usage. If the system in place makes sure the codebase is easily understood and adopted by contributors, then by all means, make all the crazy features you can think of.

>> "Archaeology is the search for fact, not Truth."

I've always hated that quote. If it were true, archaeology papers would be nothing more than photographs of things people found. As soon as the archaeologist points to something and says "tool" or "weapon", then opinion, interpretation and "truth" are part of the equation.

So much of archaeology has been thrown away as junk science. The artifacts on which that science was based have not been tossed, we have just reinterpret them. We no longer interpret dinosaur bones as evidence of mythical dragons any more than we see the Grand Canyon as evidence of Noah's flood.

How /where does one get the data source?

Accountability matters. When things go wrong it's important to assign blame to understand why things went wrong and how to prevent them in the future.

So in this particular case, a way blaming might help would be to recognize those organizations and governments that were incapable of preventing the spread of the disease and to recognize in the future a quicker need to mitigate and not to assume China will take care of it, assuming China deserves blame. It may also help by recuperating the economic loss by holding those responsible for it and requiring payments. These are common things that happen in all walks of life and the international context is no different. People and countries shouldn't get to walk away from massive fuck ups if it is possible to hold them to account. At least we can try.

> This works if you're close enough to the rich farmer's markets and suburban customers around NYC.

Absolutely, or if you already have some sort of distribution in place. Non-essential workers have more time on their hands to go to these markets. These markets tend to sell better in wealthier areas to begin with and their customers, faced with fewer options online and at the supermarket, are willing to pay extra. I wonder if the markets in Elmhurst are as flooded with people.

A co-op I used to work for has trouble keeping up with their demand but mostly because they focused on supermarket distribution. It seems that farms with a semblance of a retail presence or trusted brand are doing well (e.g. Central Milling, these stalls). I have little sympathy for certain farms that are suffering right now (e.g. CAFO's). I do worry for the now unemployed workers that are not present in this article, the animals, and those in processing.
Amen. Stop fighting the last war.
The actual timeline for this is that when the first critiques of LIGO's analysis came out, there was a good reply from LIGO and a productive scientific discussion, at the end of which Sabine indicated she was satisfied. That was months before. That was good.

Then she came out with the linked post, which pretends LIGO had no reply to the substantive issues even though she already had blogged positively about their reply earlier, and disingenuously throws in a few complete non-issues just to make a gish-gallop. That's not science popularization, that's spreading FUD for the sake of self-promotion. Any field can be "taken down" with enough dishonesty.

I don't know about the UK, but what's happening in the US is that deaths in major cities are declining because the lockdowns are working, but cases and deaths are exploding in suburban and rural areas. The plateau right now is because those two effects are approximately canceling out, but as deaths in cities bottom out, total deaths will begin climbing again.
Your comment seems to suggest that everyone that's ever used Redis except antirez has lost data. I don't think that's true. I've used Redis since 2012 across dozens of production services and never lost data, and I don't have any particular skill that makes me special.
Tell HN: Or Don't Call Mom
The hysteria surrounding unconditionally calling your mom is very frustrating. What if your mom is a horrible person and a toxic influence on your life and others? Should you still call her? Should you still tell her how much you love her?

This recent comment from HN resonated with me so much to create this new post:

> If your mother is a kind person whom you love, then by all means reach out and tell her.
To others like me who may have a gaslighting c* * * of a mother, don't be bullied by societal norms into feeling like a bad person just because you don't want to connect with an abuser. It's perfectly fine to not call your mother on mother's day if you don't have the kind of relationship that will benefit from it. From: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23133553

So go ahead and not call your mom if you want, instead call the people you care about and love.
