If Linux is going to have any chance of replacing OSX or Windows for the vast majority of users it needs to have a uniform executable which Snapcraft seems like the best candidate for. Without a uniform executable a lot of developers won't target Linux which is a deal-breaker for a lot of people. Clearly its preferable to install common packages from a standard package manager, and there should be better controls of how snaps get updated for power users, but most potential Linux users want apps that work like apps on their phones. This means you install it from a GUI app store, have access to proprietary apps, and then the apps keep themselves up to date.
I also have a mental model that sees the language-producing portion of the brain as a PR department of sorts, which is responsible for managing others’ perception of the whole operation. In other words, my words are not coming from the CEO, and in fact there is no CEO anyway.
The pro-EU class, as you put it, should be understood as the class of people who contribute to society, who make it tick, the people who might have half a clue about what is actually going on.

For the last 500 years the UK has had one overriding foreign policy objective - to prevent the rise of a pan European power unaligned to our interests. By surrendering our seat at the EU we have at a stroke failed in that objective - now the EU is free to become ever more powerful without us, and our needs and wishes will become increasingly irrelevant.
A couple Chrome devtools debugging tips:

1. Local Overrides feature allows you to persist and edit source files across page loads (unfortunately only source files currently, so you're out of luck if the JS comes from an XHR or something)

2. F3 on the network panel will let you search for a string across all resources the page loaded. Can be useful for tracking down where stuff like user-agent checks are called (if not obfuscated).

Also calling the code obfuscated is pretty generous. It's amazing how common things like shift ciphers, XOR tricks, etc. are when the browser's REPL cuts through them like butter.

On the safety side, I've had crude analysis done (which is the standard nutritional testing for pet food in the US and was $250 per flavor), and I've consulted with a couple of vets to make sure the product is safe.

On the legal side, I've got business insurance, which thankfully isn't that expensive. I've been holding off on forming an LLC since that's gonna run me about a grand here in CA including the cost of setting it up and LLC tax, but if there's continued interest in the product, I'll do that soon.

Edit: Also AAFCO is a group that has standards for this sort of thing that are pretty straightforward: https://petfood.aafco.org/Portals/1/pdf/eight_required_labei...

I've removed snaps on my new Ubuntu installs. Not sure how well this is going to work out in the long run but if things start to mess up I'll move back to LinuxMint.
It’s worth noting that if you think an account is being used fraudulently, it’s literally illegal to reveal that to the customer. It’s called tipping off. Not only can monzo be fined or lose their licenses but the human responsible can personally face charges including prison time.

This is why banks are very reluctant to give holders of frozen accounts any real information.

I’m sure there is plenty of crappy customer service and algorithms that’s are not fit for purpose or can’t cope with coronavirus too.

I'd expect users who go into Debian expecting some power-user version of Ubuntu to be disappointed. To be happy on Debian, you need to adopt their philosophy that stability is better than having the latest-and-greatest.

For those unfamiliar, Debian releases come out about once every two years, at which point all software in Debian's repositories is frozen at its current version. Software receives security updates between releases, but nothing else.

I personally think this is wonderful, and I would absolutely use Debian if I was interested in switching to Linux (which I'm not, at the moment). Constant change is inherently frustrating, even when the changes themselves are a net positive (they often aren't). Debian's approach provides a level of reliability and consistency that is sorely lacking in most modern software.

So, while I also recommend Debian, I do so only if you too agree with the above paragraph.
I personally use any distro based on the situation.

As others have pointed out, common reasoning behind picking a distro include: hardware requirements, existing ecosystems, end user, package management, configurableness, security, long-term support, ease of learning, driver support, core dev team’s opinions, funding, etc.
I remember 2 being harder plastic and 1 being the more rubbery one. Though I could well be wrong. Sold all that stuff years ago except three or four of the bigger ones, which my kids play with.
The FDA does regulate, but much more lightly - from their site:

"The FDA’s regulation of pet food is similar to that for other animal food. There is no requirement that pet food products have premarket approval by the FDA. However, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requires that pet foods, like human foods, be safe to eat, produced under sanitary conditions, contain no harmful substances, and be truthfully labeled."

You say it's fun for the family but I would immediately be worried about it stinking like dog food and making my kids reek all day :-D Other than that, looks like a great idea and is the sort of thing I'd consider if I did have a dog!
I remember while working at some company, I started using a local flask server.

For some reason, I remember one company router kept making http request on port 5000 or 8000, can't remember which port, because it was literally showing on the terminal, with the http path, at random times.

Some tips for working with hashes in Raku – Andrew Shitov
I think I agree generally with the thesis of this article.

In my view, the value of these types of tools (Suckless & friends) doesn't come from simplicity per se, but more from the fact that they can be debugged at all when they break, because it is possible for one person to have a decent handle on all the pieces and how they fit together.

I have tried to use and like more complex environments like macOS or GNOME in the past. If they actually worked, they would be great. However, something inevitably breaks, and now I have to unpick a twisted not of dependencies, IPC, libraries, languages, etc. At least when CWM breaks, it can be fixed at all rather than being forced to give up and deal with it being broken.

I think people saying "having to hack on the C sources isn't easy" and the counterpoint "it's just a four kLOC of C, it's easy to hack on!" are both right, but also missing the point.

GNOME, KDE, etc. are so complicated, that from the perspective of an individual person trying to fix a problem, they may as well be closed source unless you're willing to devote months just to learning the project.

I have no problem using complicated tools, as long as they are tools that I understand, because I can't fix things I don't understand. Alternatively, complex tools that work so well that they never break are also fine, since I never have to fix them.
I honestly think this is awesome and beautiful, though I might feel differently if I lived nearby just because of how relentless it is.

I remember years ago I had the idea that if you could design construction equipment to rotate/oscillate/whatever at frequencies that were harmonic with each other, construction noise would become musical, almost like a very loud set of wind chimes.
Mastodon does likes and retweets, but lets you completely ignore them removing the stimulus. So, the difference with Twitter is that you're constantly notified that people liked or retweeted your stuff, and you see the numbers. When that information isn't displayed then you don't think about it at all.

Having used both Twitter and Mastodon for a while now, I can definitely say that Mastodon is a much healthier environment. For me at least, it completely avoids the dopamine loop that Twitter creates, and I don't have the constant urge to keep checking it.
It can of course be superficial, but perhaps "the best minds" as it applies in this context could be measured by salary, education level/cost of education (i.e. how many Ivy Leaguers work at said companies)
I have to disagree. I've used debian for years. I stand by the assertion that it's a wonderful platform for a server, but marginal for a desktop.
How is that any different than every VC backed startup?
And for the record Flatpak does not have any such limitation - while many people use Flathub to host flatpal repos, there are many more Flatpak repos available, including Distro hosted ones (Fedora has a system for building Flatpaks from Fedora RPMs and hosting the resulting Flatpak repos).
Thus got me curious, and I just spent a few minutes learning about OTF ligatures and alternatives, and apparently random is possible: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/12818

From what I've read, the technology exists to build a font that would be a pretty convincing handwriting alternative. It would take a lot of effort, as it would n involve several glyph alternatives for each character, several variations of dozens of ligatures (joined glyphs) and randomness for selection. You could even do variants like slightly different spacing/sizing/positioning (no one writes perfectly straight).

Probably part of the issue is use case. Personal handwriting is kind of neat for a headline or call-out on a blog or something, but I wouldn't necessarily want to read a whole long post that way. I'm not really sure where else it would be useful - students trying to cheat on a "handwriting required" assignment, if that's even still a thing?

As someone that hasn't used Java in production deployment, I tried to play with an open source project that seems to run on JBOSS Wildfly. After about 3 frustrated hours, I cut my losses, deleted the docker containers and images, and decided it was simply not worth it.

I could build the code in IntelliJ IDEA, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to actually run it to simply test it and play around with it. I can only concur there is something seriously wrong with the Java world/community. Perhaps it's too focused towards enterprise, where you can afford to have one person specialise in sitting at a desk, monitoring Wildfly?
Something seems really off about the "statistics" presented here. For instance, 71.3% of all websites "use Unix". Honestly, that seems really high in these days of Solaris, AIX and HP-UX effectively disappearing. x86_64 rack hardware is super cheap, and Linux is almost free, unless you really, really want to pay for it.
These days Debian Gnome and default Ubuntu are so similar these days the difference is negligible once you installed 1 or 2 plugins that mimic the Ubuntu functionality. Ubuntu's gnome is just plain gnome with a few in-house extensions made by Canonical - hardly worth it in my opinion while Debian is rock solid. Buster (the current stable) is nearly perfect IMO.
Recent New York data during a slowdown paints a different picture:

"De Blasio, in this sense, is a remarkably unimaginative politician, like Andrew Cuomo. Police did stop doing their jobs, momentarily, after the murders of Liu and Ramos, in protest of de Blasio’s allegedly anti-police gestures. Arrests and summonses plummeted in early 2015. This, in labor and political parlance, is called a slowdown. The truth about the slowdown, as I’ve written before, is that crime remained quite low. Lack of police enforcement did not unleash the sort of disorder Lynch and his ilk always promise would come. It’s a small sample size, yes. But de Blasio has never used this data point to his advantage. Instead, he has grown only more defensive of his police department. Even in an age of COVID-19-induced catastrophe, with tax revenue evaporating by the month, de Blasio cannot bring himself to meaningfully cut funding to his police department."

>Because unlike food and family, helium is a finite resource. [...] By protecting and conserving it now we won't have to panic once it becomes truly rare.

Is there a need to preemptively conserve? As it becomes rarer, prices will increase which will naturally encourage conservation. At the same time, new supply will come online as they become economical due to the higher prices.

Honestly, the Beef and Cheddar smells a little funky but not too bad (especially for people who are used to having dogs around), and the Turkey and Cinnamon smells pretty good because the turkey isn't that pungent, so the cinnamon masks it.

That said, when you're taking freeze dried meats and putting them in a food processor to turn them into powder, it stinks to high heaven and you end up with a light dusting of meat powder all over your kitchen. I don't recommend trying it :P
I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but if you mean "what kind of skills do you need?", then the answer is that you need at least decent familiarity with C, the surrounding toolset, and a general understanding of how Xorg etc. works. In general, you'll need a few years of experience.

I don't think suckless is for everyone; it's pretty explicit about that. I think that's okay: not all software needs to cater to all users; suckless is mostly a hobby project by some devs for their own purposes.

I sometimes see people recommend dwm or st in "what {WM,terminal} should I use?" and I think it's a terrible recommendation, because most of the time people asking those questions don't have the required skill set to be able to use it effectively (not yet, anyway).
I know a few, at least one asserted one of their few patents against IBM to force a licensing deal -- reversing the direction of the money to the startup instead of them paying IBM.

If a startup has some decent patents, they get to have a conversation with companies like IBM that come calling. Otherwise, they have to roll over.

Basically, when the IBMs of the world come around demanding a license, you show IBM they are infringing on your patent.

In general patents are business assets or business tools. They are important for valuation, among other things.
This is really poor journalism. Where's the interviews with the restaurants and police? Speculation from industry experts? Anything more would make this a better article.
What problem does it solve? – how to deal with new technologies
The first time I stumbled upon Special Fish was in the first comment on another HN thread titled "Rediscovering The Small Web" [1], so if you find Special Fish interesting you may also like some other things mentioned there.

I spent a couple of hours sufring the site and various personal pages linked within some profiles. From my small sample, it seemed to be popular among some sort of lo-fi designer/technoartist crowd. It was different enough from my usual intake of the web to hook me up for a bit.

I was tempted to register an account, but gave up after reading the pitch: "Special Fish is a place for exploring logs and lists." I mean... I've done blogs (on both home-made and stock tools), tumblrs, micro-blogs (Twitter and Identi.ca), small project-based websites, you name it. What is left to explore on the logs/lists space, especially given the simple pages I've witnessed across the site (and the simple tools given to authors, I guessed), that signing up would be compelling? What are the results of this exploration on Special Fish that are worth mentioning?

There are real issues with snaps but “apt/deb is a wonderful package management system and everyone is happy with it, at least the majority of Ubuntu/Debian users” is such an immature argument.
Apple designs plenty of chips that have better performance than most computers shipping today. No one really cares about the desktop anymore. Apple alone sells more devices using its own chips than all PC sells combined and they are less than 15% of the market.

Even when it comes to the better margin server market there is a move toward both AMD and custom ARM chips.
The anti-features of snap seem like business decisions. Making it easy for users to use alternative stores would kneecap Canonical's paid IoT offerings https://ubuntu.com/internet-of-things. Also, I wonder if the ability for developers to force software updates could be marketed as a kill switch for proprietary software vendors.

The ideas presented in this article, such as universities being bad, align closely with right-wing anti-intellectualism.

There’s nothing about university education that turns you into a submissive drone as the article suggests. It’s just thinly-veiled anti-education, perhaps even fascism. Heck, Thiel seems to want to run a floating city - perhaps with himself as the dictator (the article doesn’t say).

Thiel is just another “I’ve got mine, fuck you” billionaire who doesn’t want to give scraps to the little people. The ideas are being fluffed up as enlightened, but all I see here is someone paying for followers/disciples/high risk high reward investment opportunities. It’s easy to come up with radical experiments when you’ve got billions in the bank to cushion the failures.

Unlike someone like Bill Gates who is trying to improve the state of the world, Peter Thiel sees it as his playground to poke and mess with.

As a benefactor of two degrees from a top-ranked university and the whitest-of-the-white privilege career path of Hedge Fund Manager, along with a perfectly timed startup with no chance of replication if it were attempted just 10 years earlier or 10 years later, I have to believe and assume that many of Thiel’s libertarian ideals are based on hypocrisy and willful ignorance. Change just one input variable and he would
not be a billionaire. If he were not so fabulously lucky he would be just another one of the conformist worker drones he abhors.

I’d like to think that we can see through this ruse - in reality, he’s just a wealthy guy who thinks he deserves his status, that it was 100% earned, which in turn validates a bunch of pseudo-intellectual nonsense. After all, only an incredibly enlightened smart person with “good genes” could be so wealthy and successful in the eyes of much of the self-unaware rich. [1]

When I was in elementary school (in the 80s) I used to fail handwriting over and over. My teacher told me "When you get older, if you want to work in an office, you're going to have to have to write a lot of reports, and for that you'll need good handwriting." to which I replied "No, I'm going to work on computers."

If I made a font based on my handwriting, it could be considered a type of one-way encryption.
Serverless Headless CMS with GraphQL API
Wild guess: the web client it includes is most of that. Even if it cleans up the instance of it after, the code itself is still sitting in memory, and that may be quite large. It also seems to include a JSON parser, which might be a bit large.

I'd expect something like this grabbing some dead-simple format over a TCP socket, rather than importing a Web library, to be well under a MB, certainly, and even that seems not to be setting a very low bar, to me. Though those are expectations based on C, not Rust.
