ho, man I feel real lonely not finding any people who are like to screw around and code for pleasure. so many smart polished developers that would do something else if enviroment was different, but kills my heart. I would love to code forever, but I am not as tenacious as those are superprofessional I rather would like to enjoy and freeride the waves of code, And I find conversing within community dispiriting.

Am I alone?
The drivers are decent enough nonetheless. I think having an open driver done by a different team and maybe a bit less optimized is still preferable to not having an official open driver at all.
Sounds kinda disappointing/irresponsible. Chromium is an overly complex, relatively buggy piece of software. For example I recently experienced a bug where a text I selected was significantly offset from what should have been selected given the pointer position (on linux), a misclicky kind of bug. Considering that the majority of Crew Dragon's controls are through touch screen, maybe even manual docking(not sure, but I don't see a joystick anywhere), my personal experience with chromium does not instill confidence for such critical applications. But I guess they tested it very thoroughly.

C++ and linux do not strike me as mission critical piece of software / language either. My heart desires for something with verified properties, advanced languages with integrated proof checkers, verified OSs, or at least smaller purpose built OSs that were carefully reviewed. But I guess SpaceX is not to blame for this. It's likely such approaches are simply not ready yet. And I know that C++ and linux are common in mission critical applications. JSF avionics is written in C++ for example.

(Not to mention JavaScript in space, in a mission critical role. That shouldn't have happened.)
Demo sceners have also figured out how to reprogram the scanning position in memory for each scanline, with impressive results:

I think they ought to legislate this into normality. The alternative is to make it mandatory to note all conversations with colleagues for the public record, however trivial, which is obviously absurd. An IM conversation is a personal conversation, treating it any other way will stifle the effective function of government.
The current internet giants got huge monopolistic like power that many dictators of many countries would envy. The set their rules, execute them, and judge them.

Even having a decent map listing is sometimes make it or break it in competitive industries such as hotels or restaurants.

I believe once you become a platform there should be an independent nano-courthouse where you can appeal. Today being rejected or having listing hijacked on Apple, Amazon, or Google platform is equivalent to the economical death penalty for many individuals.

It should be possible to pay $100 by individuals and appeal to an independent nano-courthouse if the original platform rejects or blocks you. If you win, the appeal fee is refunded and the platform has to cover the cost. If you lose, your $100 is gone.
Correct

Our minister of health is a doctor ( although she is ridiculed in public media because of her weight), it led to overreporting Covid cases.

Brunel would be my pick as a predecessor who Musk emulates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel

Brunels' achievements spanned both civil and naval engineering projects, and much like Musk he didn't so much invent something completely new, but innovated on existing systems. His work on propeller screws is very much in the same vein as Musk and the Raptor engine. Probably fair to say he was a larger than life figure in his day and a driving force during the industrial revolution.
It's consistent with it.

Rich used to be very bullish on neural nets, then somewhat dismissive of them (due to the fragility/inadequacy of FCNs), and then increasingly enthusiastic as the renewed interest demonstrated that those problems could be overcome-- e.g., through better initialization, training, and (as you note) different architecture choices.
His main concern was whether a method could keep working as more resources became available, as otherwise you would tautologically end up with something short of true artificial intelligence.

The important thing is that the technique can scale with increasing data or compute without hitting a hard or soft limit.
Sure but I don't think that's generally done or recommended. I think people only do that if they have certificate pinning, which on the web is pretty rare and getting rarer as browsers drop support for HPKP.
Nice list. I have been cataloging LiveView workalikes (https://github.com/dbohdan/liveviews), and I've added some of the ones you mention.

It's not a personal conversation if you're working for the government and talking about topics that pertain to government functions. You have no right to privacy in the same way that your average citizen (should) be when your decisions affect the lives of millions. There needs to be a paper trail or power becomes even more opaque than it already is and all accountability goes out the window. There can be no democracy if your government can hide everything they do. The records don't necessarily need to always be public, but they do need to be stored so FOI requests can be served when necessary.

Sounds very much like any Apple, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Sony, Nintendo, pick your embedded OEM, ... to me.

UNIX has always been the snowflake, and even there, commercial UNIX SKDs are pretty much C, C++ and Fortran, followed by the usual POSIX scripting languages.

To create a good developer experience in OS SDK IDE and platform APIs, there are only so much one can support.

Unless we are doing UNIX ABIs and the best one can hope for are 70's C style bindings.
This is why I don't trust my country's (Indonesia) total death count. The official total death count is 1613. For a 4th most populous country with very high population density (in Java island, the most populous island in the country) with poor self-quarantine discipline, I find it hard to believe only 1613 people die of covid19 so far. It is likely due to low volume of testing and not counting death unless they're tested positive. Also, anecdotally there seem to be a widespread flu early this year where a lot of people in my circle (including myself) were getting more severe than usual flu-like syndrom. I suspect covid19 was arrived earlier but there is no way to prove it unless most of the population get tested, which is unlikely given how limited the testing here. These days the citizen can get tested but they must pay it themselves unless they are identified as highly suspected individuals by country's tracing orgs, and the test is too expensive for most people here, costing almost 1/4 minimum wage.
Albion Online is build with unity. It’s basically Eve Online in a fantasy more newbie friendly setting with league of lengends styles combat, ARPG styles solo PVE, 20 man raids, and, mining that’s actually fun.

Works pretty well, even in massive fights with hundreds of people involved. Frankly handles the MMO part of things better than most MMOs.
That was the most surprising part to me too, but not that surprising. Lots of automotive and newer industrial UIs use Qt Quick with QML which is not all that different from HTML5 and JS with something like React.

It's used in the presentation layer, not the actually control systems.
Numpy wouldn't work in JS because you can't overload operators afaik. Numpy/scipy are reasons why many people love Python.
Yes, professionally I see a lot of commercial MMO projects targeting Unity as a client. It's network stack was never intended for MMOs anyway, it was always targeted for client-hosted session-based games with very limited scope.
Most BIOS are also closed source. If I used a microkernel primitive enough not to require changes, I could live with not updating the kernel unless there is a security bug.

A third solution could be to require device manufacturers to share their source code with a trusted third party (such as google/certification authority). This third party will make sure that the driver does not include any harmful code and provide signed binaries. Binaries could also be updated for newer versions that way, even if the original manufacturer loses interest/goes bankrupt. If the IP gets stolen, the device manufacturer could sue this third party, therefore business people will also feel secure.

It is not ideal, but I could be able to live with this solution.

How do you figure?

You need to build structures that can withstand pressure, but that's not a problem. We sent people to the deepest parts of the ocean 80 years ago.

Bottom of the ocean is on average about 3.5 km deep. You can pump air in from the surface, which isn't an option on Mars. You have abundant water, which can be desalinated, or pumped in from elsewhere. You can communicate with the rest of Earth virtually instantly. Resupplying your underwater base is infinitely faster, easier and cheaper than resupplying Mars. In an emergency, getting to or from the underwater base from a major city is only a few hours compared with potentially years for Mars depending on the launch windows.

Colonists of the underwater base don't have to worry about health problems from low gravity, nor do they need to worry about cancers from the deadly radiation on Mars.

Sea base modules can be built on the surface and simply lowered into the sea. We have ample experience with underwater construction from thousands of deepwater oil rigs and other underwater projects. We also have experience from building many underwater habitats for research purposes.

I would guess building a deep underwater base is many orders of magnitude easier than sustaining humans on Mars.
> List-Unsubscribe is not widely enough adopted to be the only means of unsubscription (yet)

I am not suggesting List-Unsubscribe as the only means of unsubscription. Read my post again. It also is widely adopted. gmail.com, Mail (OSX, iOS) and outlook.com together probably represent the majority of clients now and all support List-Unsubscribe.

> That's super presumptive/rude. Also not how interactions between people work, at all. The potential consequences of a mistaken forward-unsubscribe are also often quite large

Maybe my view on the matter is colored by the fact that my friends and family don't send a bunch of useless marketing to me, and I have the decency not to send them any. Still, my suggestion solves the problem if you have it without involving a convoluted process to cancel a subscription. I absolutely could not care less about the dire consequences of not receiving a steady stream of cosmetics coupons, but whatever floats your boat, email-based unsubscribe works.

No one doing apps cares about POSIX on or Linux on Android, unless we are talking about people rooting their devices.

The official stable APIs are the Java/Kotlin frameworks, NDK native libraries, ISO C and ISO C++ standard libraries.

Exactly to cut down on misbehaviours of developers getting hold of unofficial Linux syscalls or non public .so, Google has started to use LinuxSE and seccomp to lock out such kind of apps.

So any Android application that only uses public APIs will have no trouble migrating to Fuchsia.
Nicely done! I made something similar a few years back for quickly rating movies you've seen and marking ones you haven't seen but want to. I never did much with it, but it's still fun to play with every once in awhile even being years out of date. Yours looks much nicer though :)
Yup. In fact, there are various stories of people in late 1930s who tried to get the word out to the wider world about what's starting to happen in Germany, and they were generally ignored. The world truly didn't learn about the camps until Nazi Germany was conquered.
Sorry about that. I'm not sure why we get sugar* and you all don't, but it's probably something to do with the invisible hand.

* just checked all the cans in my house. Six-packs in the fridge from the grocery came from the EU, and have sugar. Two-fours in the basement from the discounter came from some nordic-speaking country, and have sugar.
Perhaps; it's not clear to me that making a statement of "the obvious" is necessarily an "easy" thing to do from the heights of corporate America.

Incidentally, the overuse of "virtue signalling" to describe other people taking positions that they presumably sincerely believe in and wish to share with each other is incredibly snide, and if you don't want to come off like an asshole, you should stop. It's become one of those phrases that seems more like a pointless tribal "tic" (like "political correctness").

>It turns out to build a solid solution that is largely overwhelming to individuals, and I yet to found

You need to proof your post.
There is a flavour here that although the individual points are subsystem specific the overall view is very much the Linux Desktop as a whole.

The Wayland commentary is especially interesting and solidifies my view that Wayland is never going to replace X, and quite possibly this is intentional on the part of the Wayland devs. Reading through the X Server and Wayland headings, some of those issues sound so structural that the most viable long term path might be containerised mini-displays under some as yet unpublicised meta-manager that rethinks how applications play with together to manage keyboard and mouse.

The Wayland experiment remains a source of great entertainment. The devs are doing amazing work lightening the dependence of the Linux ecosystem on X11.
Once you decide that absolute reliability is unattainable, you can instead aim for sufficient redundancy. It’s not perfect, but with enough safe guards in place it may very well be good enough.
This list exaggerates many issues in an attempt to inflate the list.

It's totally bloated, full of baseless personal opinions.

A few examples:

- "Nvidia open-source driver nouveau.." - why include it if not to bloat the list?

- "Under Linux, setting multi-monitor configurations especially using multiple GPUs running binary NVIDIA drivers can be a major PITA" - Bollox. Gnome/Mate Display-Manager does an excellent job. If you're still using X11 manual configs than what do you expect..

- "Linux drivers are usually much worse (they require a lot of tinkering..)" - Broad statements are usually wrong. Especially this one based on an opinion from the 90's.

- "Resume after suspend in Linux is unstable and oftentimes doesn't work." - Bollox. Resume from Hybernate - maybe. But suspend works perfectly most of the time.

- "X.org is largely outdated" - duh... the whole list on this topic is dated issues resolved by WM.

- "Adding custom monitor modelines in Linux is a major PITA." - Is it? a one line command? and how do you do it on Windows? oh you can't...

- "Applications development is a major PITA" - this is ridiculous.
I'd bet it's a lot harder to rework the compiler to update its state in place than it is to rework it to free memory.
Agency has to be remembered tho, your decisions impact others, and change that is received is generally less well tolerated than change that has been initiated. It's real in teams where the management decides on change and underlings can only agree or not.
I was trying to find out from that site who's behind this and if that information is in there it must be really well hidden. Apart from other concerns, I'm not going to touch an OS from a group that doesn't clearly state who they are.
The thing that sealed the deal for me to never go back was meeting all the old mafia dumbasses that actually went to jail for so-called ‘cybercrime’. These guys could hardly read. Before computers they were shaking down hot dog vendors and smuggling drug money through hair salons. They drove expensive cars, wore lots of jewelry, and had a bunch of drug addict women falling all over them.

No thanks. I met a girl from Harvard and discovered that I actually liked talking to a smart human about real things. There was no comparison.
I just want to say that after upgrading to 20.04 from 19.10 something went wrong so I clean installed it. Then my Intel WiFi stopped working (even though the Bluetooth did work) and my multi monitor setup kept getting screwed up on reboot where a mousclick on the left screen would register on the right screen. I tried to file bug reports with canonical but the process seemed so convoluted I just gave up and am back to Windows and MacOS again. Maybe I'll try again in a few months, maybe not. WSL2 is working pretty well for me

That’s part of the "embedded computing" problem space, and people have been doing stuff like developing Qt application running as a systemd service and directly hitting DRM (the kernel graphical API), so no X, said application being mostly just a webview tailored to your use case. In addition to the webview you could imagine adding an HTTP endpoint to your application for monitoring and remote control, that kind of stuff.

I say Qt because it’s popular in the embedded space, and indeed makes doing that kind of stuff easy (by example by having a DRM backend).
Surely he considers it programming if he self describes as an active programmer?
Fascinating! He even helped get a pneumatic railway built, which failed, and reminds me a bit of hyperloop. If I had to bet on a Musk project that would fail it would be that one. Something about it just feels wrong to my engineering intuition... too tight of tolerances for a civil engineering project.

It doesn't have to be Windows or Linux, it can be Windows and Linux. I just use Arch Linux on my Windows machine using WSL 2. Arch is my favourite linux distro with a really brilliant package manager and because of it being bleeding edge. By running it inside of WSL2, I don't have to bother much about stability since it's running inside Windows. But at the same time I get a full blown proper linux distro for my development work.

Musics do have, hence why Samsung had their own real time audio stack, which Google eventually adapted into Android.

There are several years of Google IO stuff going into this, until you finally reach the talk done together with a Samsung representative and a couple of DJs using the new demo app on stage to prove Android was finally ready for music professionals.

It is just a matter to go down the Google IO archive.
This is most decidedly not true for generational GCs, and for concurrent GCs, the tracing work happens asynchronously and in parallel, on other cores, not taking time on the main thread.
I don’t recommend Linux as a desktop anymore (free99 sold me for a while though).

Still beats windows on older hardware..when it comes to minimal browser boxes Linux is still the best.
Hardware has its limits of course, but sometimes if you can’t upgrade your OS, you can’t install apps. You’ll be stuck with a screen saying “This application requires IOS X and higher”. When that frequently happens, you are forced to upgrade your phone, even if you’re content with the hardware.

Avoiding updates and ignoring notifications could stem from a different reasons. People may not want to take the time and maintain their phones. I consider myself a techy person, but I also put off updating my phone, taking good care of it, upgrading it. I also dread tidying up my room, getting a hair cut, shopping for clothes, eating healthy, sleeping well etc. It could be a personality trait.

Avoidance conserves energy :)

It's also very reasonable with ads. For me the page has 3 or 4 ads that interrupt the content, but don't masquerade as content, and they're all for other brands owned by the same publisher (so hopefully not on a third-party ad network). If all sites were like that I wouldn't feel the need for an adblocker.

And that's why we as black people need to step up and get into those positions of governance with the help of good white people who are already benefitting from their privilege.
