Stop right there. You don’t get to decide the site’s business model. They get to choose it, not you.

And I mean duh, no kidding adblockers don’t stop online stores from letting people buy stuff. Thanks for the insight there.

Add to that excitement the new System 76 Lemur Pro 14" 2.2 lbs laptop with 40 GB of RAM and a massive 73 Wh battery and you're really going to be excited [1]. I got one recently (moving up from an old Sony Vaio).

I've been daily driver on linux for about a decade now and have to agree that it's awesome now.

For many years, I had a very nice experience with NOD32. By far the best antivirus I have used in terms of UI and resources. Well, admittedly not that high of a bar.. but they really seem to care about efficiency and and elegance.

Considering the built in one is pretty slow (and gives useless notifications), I expect it would be an improvement.
Citation badly needed. We use cubicles rather than open floor plans in most of our office locations. Every commercial real estate discussion I've had has treated open floor plan, cubes, and offices as three distinct points on a spectrum.
A more charitable interpretation is that they believe this kind of 'null anecdote' is useful: usually people who experience major effects (positive or negative) are much more likely to share their experiences, and that skews the body of anecdotal evidence.

Curious if the address is correct in Apple Maps?

With Apple, I've submitted perhaps 5 corrections for 5 different (usually minor) problems in 5 years. Problems like a place claims to take Apple Pay when it doesn't. Or the actual place is across the street from where Maps claims it is.

In each case, Apple sends back a notification within 2-3 weeks saying they've fixed the problem, and when I've checked, it has always been resolved. Pretty happy with the service.
Sure, I didn’t say changes don’t happen. Plenty of teams gutted UE and made it into something unrecognizable. But it shouldn’t be your first choice.

How about this... stick to small changes, freeze your engine upstream version, or hate your life: pick one? ;)
Not collusion, not "journalists". I imagine it went something like this:

Journalist: Hey, can I get a comment on this video, "Plandemic", being distributed on Google Drive?

Google employee: No comment.

And then Google employee sends a message to another employee and says, "Hey, do we need to do something about this? It looks like that video we took down off YouTube for violating our ToS is being hosted elsewhere."

Is it collusion every time a journalist asks someone to comment on a thing happening, and that someone then responds in some way beyond just saying "Yep that's a thing!"
If you're making something in a laboratory, it's not cheap, even if it could conceivably be cheap in mass production. Even once something is in mass production — like silicon PV has been for the last 40 years — it can take a long time to bring the cost down. Silicon PV cells have fallen in cost by a factor of 10 in the last 10 years, in part due to much higher volumes, in part because the production lines no longer need to be staffed by Ph.D.s. Who could have predicted in 1980 that that would take until 2015?

In a lab you can demonstrate how much material something uses, how long it lasts under given conditions, and, say, how sensitive it is to contamination. But you can't predict, you know, the late-oughties polysilicon price bubble, the ensuing long-term purchase agreements made by companies like Evergreen, and the subsequent polysilicon price collapse that sunk those companies. (I'm still not sure where modern PV cell companies source their silicon! Is it UMG?)

"How cheap?" is a question about international trade, mining, and management, not a question about materials science. Don't expect materials scientists to be able to answer it.
Thanks. What do you think about this post? The author sounds knowledgable and I think it contradicts what you said to some degree (in that the experience and app support is not good even though Linux is installed on a machine with a high dpi display):

Placement. Either you want a probe thermometer measuring the internal temperature of the meat or an air temperature probe on the indirect side of grill. The gauge on the grill is likely to be off 50-100 degrees F. They're often cheaply made and not as high quality as something like a probe themometer from Thermoworks, or presumably this Weber device.

All I see in the Wikipedia page is something about a heat exchanger (it looked weird, I only skimmed it but it sounds like snake oil to me.) CO2 concentration would be a chemical thing. On space ships I know they used to use alkali metal peroxides (specifically lithium peroxide because lithium is light.) These decompose into oxygen and an alkali hydroxide which further absorbs CO2 (forming an alkali carbonate.)

I've actually had this with Siri. I've asked about the wind and Siri gave me the definition of wind.

Other times it will tell me the wind speed.

Other times, for the same query, it will tell me the wind speed AND direction, which is what I want.

But it's always random what I get: wind speed, wind direction, a combination of both, or (occasionally) the definition of wind.
Looking for some informed opinions here. I’ve been building web applications for over 15-16 years. Graphql was introduced a few years ago and I’ll admit, I have a default anti-Facebook derived tech opinion. I’m biased against anything that comes out of Facebook. The one exception to that is React. I’ve learned to use it extensively and while I’m not a huge fan, it does get the job done well enough.

When looking into Graphql, and having toyed with it a little, it’s never made sense to me. Always has come across as an extra layer of obfuscation and complexity when dealing with the data access later. You have to write backing sql/db queries anyway to support the Graphql layer. More efficient use of time to just write good db queries.

Is there something I’m missing here or is the world finally catching up to reality?

Well of course, it's not 100% true- who said anything about 100%? There are theoretical branches of computer science; but most of computer science is not purely theoretical. Certainly machine learning (and more broadly speaking, much of AI) is like I say.

>So if we flog lawyers for SLAPP suits, they'd do it more often?

You'd certainly have an increase in the number of frivolous anti-SLAPP motions.

Very related: I've been hit with a frivolous anti-SLAPP when suing a company that made a false accusation of counterfeiting against my Amazon account. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16562550/thimes-solutio... (can download the PDFs free at https://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/historical/2153/ - feel free to contact me for all the case documents if you want.)

TP-Link is arguing that they have a 1st Amendment right to tell Amazon that someone is counterfeiting, even if untrue. They cite Noerr Pennington, which is a 1st Amendment doctrine. And this is a quote from their brief:

>Courts have found that the litigation privilege applies “regardless whether the communication was made with malice or the intent to harm.”

The anti-SLAPP was quickly denied. But the fact they brought it at all should show how this could get abused. Someone less confident than me might have dropped the case rather than risk having to pay legal fees if the motion was granted. And note that in a similar case against TP-Link, the anti-slapp motion was granted - that decision is up for reconsideration now, but the other side is asking for around 123k in fees. (See https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/14522683/tp-link-usa-co...)

It is my own personal, non-lawyer opinion that the anti-SLAPP motion in the careful shopper case was granted improperly. You can disagree; clearly a federal judge disagreed. So, in this context: do you think that lawsuit (or actually, it's the counterclaims that were subject to anti-SLAPP, so the counterclaims) should not have been brought? The brief facts of the case: TP-Link filed complaints to Amazon saying careful shopper was counterfeiting, got their account shut down, careful shopper sues for defamation and similar claims saying it was false and TP-Link knew it was false, TP-Link files anti-SLAPP saying even if this is true, they have free speech rights to say this to Amazon.

Still, not jumping in front of the train will 'work' regardless of whether you understand why. And it's a lot more useful than remaining agnostic about train-jumping until you understand the physical principles involved.

Agreed that genuine understanding is more useful, of course -- but correctly choosing which authorities to believe (and with what level of confidence) is often a necessary second-best. How many things do any of us truly understand in full detail?

It’s quite amazing how wrong those lid thermometers can be - I ruined my first brisket trying to use the lid thermometer and then bought a Thermoworks Smoke (the kind with the two wires like you describe, where you stick one reader in the meat and the other goes laying on the floor of the smoker). When the Thermoworks thermometer read 250F the lid thermometer read 400F.
It's not but both of these outlets are known for their motivated, advocacy-oriented reporting. A conflict of theirs (presented by one side) is a poor starting point for any kind of interesting discussion.
Talk about a strange comment. Taiwan's email did not inform the WHO of anything at all. In fact, it is best described as nothing more than a wild-ass guess.

China notified the WHO on December 31st of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause, and noted that the patients had been isolated.

Taiwan's health minister then emailed the WHO, suggesting that the unknown illness might well be SARS, and made note of China's acknowledgement that the patients had been put in isolation.

Taiwan had zero first hand knowledge of the the virus, and zero information on the virus beyond what China had provided to the WHO and what had been reported in social media.

Taiwan's health minister's email to the WHO was literally based on nothing more than China's own statements to the WHO, and social media rumors. That is it in its entirety.

Again, like I suggested to the original commenter, please stop spreading misinformation.

I might be wrong about this but if you're running a shebang'd script directly as an executable, they wouldn't need to modify the behavior of the shell itself but rather the executable loader. It would be interesting to see whether, e.g., `bash test.sh` doesn't phone home where "./test.sh" does.
so I notice that the co2, humidity, and temperature are all strongly correlated. I'm assuming that's because you are running AC during the day, which increases the circulation of fresh air.

That is not correct. The back of the plane is slightly safer based on historical data, largely due to the tendency of the front of the plane to break off during a crash landing. [0]

If the pilot is still pulling up when the plane contacts the ground, then you’re probably talking about an extremely high speed crash, where no seat is safe. The types of crashes you need to analyze for seat specific survivability are things like runway excursions and relatively level landings onto fields or bodies of water.

I think an analogy everybody would understand is to think of a regular web app. If you need to add Internet Explorer support to a website that only supports Chrome, does it make sense to fork the website? Almost never. You just inline hardcoded elements and style stuff that only IE browsers understand masquerading as html comments so that other browsers will ignore it. At most, maybe you run/serve a platform specific piece of js/css/html.

Maintaining hundreds of lines of duplicate code can become a logistical mess. Most extensions will see 95-100% shared code between platforms.
Thank you for writing this overview of interesting Linux distributions, their UX and package managers, such good info.

The last few years I've run Linux VMs on a Macbook, but I'm transitioning to a Linux desktop probably running a macOS VM, which you mentioned in another comment - didn't know there was a practical solution.

It sounds like distros like Elementary and PopOS might suit me as a gentle transition from Macs.

I don't think you can reduce it to one factor. A lot of people bought into the idea they could create a new Bell Labs for their advertising/CRUD app/whatever by using open offices. And as many others have mentioned it was cheaper. I don't think your argument is wrong but it comes across a bit myopic.

Maybe you're talking about non-native containers (i.e. not Linux), but there's no technical merit to the idea that a container by itself could introduce 15x latency on a Linux host for something like a web request, unless something like network namespaces, tc, etc was being used very improperly.

You also point to a lot of problems that are container-independent and lay them at the feet of docker, which is unfair.

Upgrading the OS is always hard unless you have some awesome, declarative config and you managed to depend on zero of the features that have changed. It doesn't matter if you're in a container or not, switching from iptables in Centos 7 to nftables in Centos 8 is going to introduce some pain.

And somehow we get mad at people for not knowing how to install things, but the complexity of installing them is itself a problem. More steps means more inconsistency, which means it's more likely that "it works on my machine, but breaks on yours."
I built something similar that might work depending on your use case and doesn't require installing an extension. Check out https://tagx.io/

Well, soon after the pandemic started I was let go of my job. Unemployed I focused on some games I'be been developing on my free time. I also worked a little bit on a 2D engine and a tile map editor. Also, soon after I was let go of my job, another company hired me, so I had to put my side projects on the drawer one more time. Since I like this tile editor so much, I see no reason why not to release it to everyone. There's a lot of work to be done on it, I know that, but that will happen when I have more free time. Also, other people might wanna contribute to the project as well. Hope you like it.
You can use first principles. "12:00pm" likely refers to the minute that contains the seconds "12:00:00pm, 12:00:01pm, 12:00:02pm... 12:00:59pm". Each of the seconds that follows the first one is non-ambiguous (they're in the afternoon). It would make little sense to have the first time be 12 hours apart from the other ones. Thus the boundary point 12:00pm refers to noon and the boundary point 12:00am refers to midnight.

The owners of the first telegraph networks banned journalists who reported on forced child labor and union busting. They manipulated elections and stock prices. And you would have defended those robber-barons.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, right?

Sure, they have a virtual monopoly on electronic communication, and they built their networks through direct and indirect subsidy from tax payers, but it's a "private" network, and they are a corporation, so not just do they get to be evil, but smug people will defend them from anyone even criticizing them.

A corporation was supposed to provide a public good in exchange for the privileges they are granted. I know that there isn't really anything we can do about it anymore. In many ways they have materially benefited from the public. I don't think it is too much to ask that we get something back.

A business built to sell grill gadgets to the HN crowd sounds like a guaranteed recipe for failure.
