Thank you for writing this! Whenever I see people using Linux as their main laptop OS, I'm struck by remembering the amount of tinkering needed circa 1999 which was the last time I did it. Having read this -- the custom scripts, the "suspend still doesn't work properly" -- it feels like that's still the case.
Should probably be merged with the other submission that’s currently trending. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23450287
About sway, if you don’t mind using Firefox, that works natively under Wayland. On another note though, the reason I don’t use sway, is that I couldn’t figure out how to get inertial scrolling working... Did you manage this, or just not bother with inertial scrolling?
And how exactly do you think they would look at all the source code in the world? Humans are too expensive.

So probably AI. How would AI tell the difference between valuable banking software full of bugs and your side project full of bugs?

Also from there, why would you include a customer's personal information in your code, or even have it on your own machine?

Really, the chances of vscode's telemetry leaking personal user information is super extra low, unless you're obviously doing something wrong with your code.

Ah, and finally, if you're using github, they have a much more efficient way of getting your code anyway.
irc works pretty well at most of ccc congresses
Because some other people might be working with code that is not in the public domain, or code whose mere existence should be kept hidden (so even relatively innocent things like project, file or branch names should be kept secret)?

I personally prefer tools that don't spy on me. In 99% of cases I probably won't care, but I don't want to take the chance of the 1% where a telemetry request would send out something I'd rather keep private which is why I want tools that are private by design.

My screwdriver doesn't spy on me and report what kinds of screws I use it with, the hammer doesn't either, I want my text editor to behave in the same safe and predictable manner.
> Can anyone explain to me why I should be concerned about vs code telemetry?

why do you close the door when you go to the toilets? It's not like what you do in there is really not known.
That's really unfortunate with that young girl.

So far it looks like these are the absolute exception, but it does sadly happen that young healthy people and kids too get seriously sick and sometimes even die.

The German pediatric association publishes some (incomplete) stats about the disease in children (https://dgpi.de/covid-19-survey-update-kw22/) and there were so far 159 hospitalizations, with 21 of those in intensive care. 140 kids were released, 1 died. ~9600 <19yos registered as sick with COVID.
Pain Points of Haskell
You may want to read up on how hospitals adopted checklists and how part of the change in the process was enabling workers to question their superiors / surgeons. It's not politically correct - it's tested in many industries that if people don't feel safe to raise issues they will let problems happen.
This is fantastic. Any way to see and learn from source?
If the user interacts with the frame it should go well.
The idea is that anyone can become a mini bank if I understand well. Decentralized banking.
Most Safe Recovery Software
What is the most secure software to restore old files (photos) for Windows 10?

'Plain VPN' unfortunately. But securing vpn credentials nicely wouldn't be enough?
But looking back at our history, one should also keep in mind that it did take hundreds of years for Europe to recover from the fall of the Roman Empire.

'Innovation will fix things eventually' is cold comfort for the generations of people living in the interim.
I confuse PyPI with PyPA, the maintainers of pip, which allows you to interact with PyPI.
Every post like these, the TODO list is super long. This reminds me again why I don't want Linux in the first place.
I am empathetic with those who will lose small businesses. I have someone in my family personally affected.

I think the potential customers who wanted to get a haircut or their nails done were making a less important request than the person who is losing their livelihood. That is a different issue than the impact on the small business owner who is devastated by this. Someone in my family is facing financial devastation because they work in the wedding industry and all weddings are of course on hold. This person could lose everything. Yet I don't want my or anyone else's old relatives to die because of more spreading. Also my niece has a job in a restaurant that isn't open any more - they tried to open but not enough customers came.

With the people going to protests, we are certain to have increased infections in a week or two.
As far as I know, yeah, it is. No clue how strong it is but I'd be worried a bit as well.

We both use the G900 anyway. Needs charging like twice a week. Depending on usage it can even go once two weeks only.
They didn't really have the county PD expand into the city. They created a brand new PD, rehired a lot of the old people, named it the county PD (I guess for optics), had new management etc, had drastically different training, priorities, slogans, etc that focuses on the community and not on murdering people when they twitch.
Here is an example thing I made using one of the pretrained mdoels (MediaPipe Facemesh):

I'm sure that many people would not class this as interesting or novel, but it demonstrates that at least some of the building blocks can actually be used to make actual things.
Coding is just the means to an end...
I bought my daughter (4 yr) a microscope (kid's version) and she is putting almost everything under it's lenses

Of course, being a biologist is much more than playing with a microscope, but it's just a way to get kids excited about science and inspire them to be curious and inquisitive.

Coding is just like this microscope. It enables children to discover the world of computer science and software.
"in case someone reading will actually at some point need to prepare for such threat"

You mean like any human rights organizations who send people to authoritarian states ?

You mean like any Foreign Ministry sending a courier out in the world ?

You could learn so much about operational security, if you wanted to, just by reading open sources.

Can I recommend you start with a wonderful old article called "A first tour like no other" ?

If your adversary model is a wild-eyed gun-slinging mid-west racists and you are black, then encryption is not going to be a factor in your death, and speculating what you can or cannot convince them about is besides the point.

If a sane adversary has captured you and your devices, say border police in some police-state like Belarus, Brazil or USA, it would be silly to assume that you know more about disk-encryption than they do.

Most importantly, you would be very silly to assume that they will not simply lock you up, until you provide access to the device, aka "XKCD538-lite".

There are people who have languished in hell-hole jails for years already, not because they are unwilling to provide access, but because they cannot provide access, but are unable make a convincing showing of that.

Competent organizations make sure their travelers can make that showing convincingly, and one of the steps they take, is to make 100% sure there is no unexplained high-entropy data on their devices.

Imagine ending up in a foreign jail for years, just because you once deleted a huge gzip'ed file, and the first sectors subsequently got overwritten ?

Yeah, that happened: "Now decrypt this other secret partition!"
And of course, you can always add support for local variables yourself. For an example, see http://turboforth.net/resources/locals.html, which takes 808 bytes to implement. That’s hefty, for some systems where one would use Forth, but, FTA, “Placing key values in locals will actually both increase peformance, and make your code smaller”, so you can earn that back if you use the facility enough)
I don't understand this idea, I thought that VOD is the best way to publish video?
The same argument applies to the police.

"Righteousness" has a way of blinding people to the abusiveness of their actions.

"Let me invent some moral principle to be violated, and when violated, permits me to abuse another however I wish."
I think the real answer is buy a laptop that just works and don't bother with Apple devices.

However it's nice to be able to re-purpose old hardware, even if it's a bit of a hill to climb :)
Of course it is, the sole reason Microsoft is doing these things is to sell Azure.

Don’t get me wrong, my organisation has a several decade long partnership with Microsoft and they are one of our greatest business partners on the tech side, but the company hasn’t changed one bit. They’ve simply changed what is is they are selling from software licenses to cloud, and having lots and lots of easily available mostly open source tools is how they do that best.

Just look at their image transformation from evil monopoly to open source champion. But everything they do, works better if you buy their products. .Net core runs perfectly well without Azure, but it works just a tad better with things like application insights. VSC works perfectly well on Linux or OS/X, but it works just a little bit better with Azure integration or/and on Windows with WSL.
That defeats the entire point of this, the whole point isn’t a diagnosis but an early warning especially of it can be performed within a single bowl movement so when you are done and ready to flush you get some feedback.

If you need to go to a doctor to get any analysis you might as well bring your own stool sample.

This is intended to replace home stool testing kits which are well icky and tricky to use.

Having smart toilets in public or semi pubic places would be a good balance between privacy and utility, it can’t tie results to a given user but it can collect collective health data and alert users of potential health concerns.
"They’re saying they do not believe the risk level is sufficiently high to condemn the gatherings."

But that's obviously nonsense, given that not all of the participants wear masks, distance cannot be kept, they stay at the same location for a longer time and some are chanting/yelling.
Go for a pilgrimage, especially the Way of St. James in Spain. Start near Lyons in France and plan 3 months of your life. Let your friends and family accompany you for a week on some stretches of the way, but insist on walking alone for at least two weeks.

This way you will find your answer.
I don't think pretrained models are "beginner building blocks". They provide a kind of "base model" that can be fine tuned to your specific need. The advantage of not training the full model means you can save many resources (in design time and computation).

There are many boring but meaningful tasks in which this can be used. For example, I'm sure many industries could be benefit from image classification for very specific cases (e.g., fruit categorization). In those cases, you are not interested in the classification of "general" objects such as car, person, bike or horse (as provided by MobiletNet pretrained model), but you can use that model as base to classify different categories of fruit.

Therefore, you are right that they might not be very useful to build new ML algorithms or network architectures. But they are useful to build specific (and novel) uses of current neural networks.
World police sucks or rocks
Or the robots will evolve.
One of the problems with replicating this with more modern Apple hardware is that Apple have increasingly moved away from the "traditional" PC hardware platform, and their more modern laptops have adopted various design patterns that were traditionally associated with more embedded devices (such as using SPI for their input devices). This is a completely reasonable set of design choices on Apple's part, but it means there's now a pretty long lag between a new generation of Apple devices and it being possible to run native Linux on them in a reasonable way.
Yes, that's what I was thinking. They are so destructive and addictive that people can't stop taking them. I worry that if they were legal and cheap people would get hooked on them and cause a lot of devastation ton themselves and their families. Of course there are people today who can't get methadone to treat their heroin addictions, because of legality concerns where it's not available.
Yes, but python packages are not for distributing that kind of software.

You create a RPM _from_ a Python package. The RPM (and associated software) writes init files to the correct place. This bears no relevance on wheels, which absolutely should not be filled with district-specific knowledge about init scripts and should definitely not write to random hard-coded paths.
At the time where no one else watches TV anymore... I think it makes sense if they offer the programs in VOD but I don't see where on their website they do that.
This is a rubbish position that will ruin productivity.

Rather than raising an issue, when I work on an unrelated task you think I should investigate instead? That's how unplanned work happens, and productivity drops.

Problems should be raised, and prioritised, if it impacts the current task and prevents completion then it should be worked on. But as a manager you need to be aware that there is a problem and that it will impact timelines. If it does not impact the current task then there needs to be a business call on the priority, and if the worker should drop the current task to resolve it. Sometimes the worker has the experience to know when the issue is a business priority, but I have been caught out before when something seems important but promises have been made on the original task that were not communicated raising the priority. Communication isn't a bad thing, and not investigating is also not a bad thing.
> I keep reminding our team that if we're trying to follow in the footsteps of MTV — and its greatest success was "Jersey Shore" — then the bar is pretty low.

Sounds like they need a few more GenX's on their team to help them understand the real impact MTV had. I'm struggling to see a world where CFTV has even half the cultural or generational impact that MTV had.

You may not respect or value what MTV has become, but if you grew up with MTV in the 80s and 90s, you might have a better appreciation for how high the bar actually is.
If the problem you found only half relates to your job,then yes,sure,pass it on,but that shouldn't be the case if it's purely related to your role. As a manager I do expect people report all sorts issues but it's so much better when it's like this: x,y,and z isn't working.I think we could do a,b, and c with it. It shows that the person does care about it and they can think on their feet.
I played around with tf.js a few weeks ago and learning to use python-trained models was the first hurdle. I made a minimal working example of this here, feel free to check it out:

https://github.com/paruby/mnist

See model/mnist_js.ipynb to see how the model is trained and exported to a js readable format, and you can see in lines 13-15 in index.html how the model is loaded.

Note: I have a decent amount of ML experience but almost no javascript experience, so YMMV
This is not a tech problem. This applies to all the content on the internet.

I like your suggestion to motivate people to start thinking about what they are going to use and why.

When we have team refinements at work we learned to question everything. There are some senior developers that get most things right, but not every time. Sometimes some junior dev just throws an idea that turns out to be way better.

This is why I think the process of coming up with a solution is much more important than the solution itself.

With that being said - please remember that there is a fine line between valuable skepticism and just being annoying :)
Actually that's a good point and damn scary: anti-lockdown protests are very risky, but these are supposed to be fine?

Not being in the US, I hadn't realized the incredible double-standard at play. The US seems to be almost completely paralyzed in trying to deal with this virus, various social dynamics that have been festering for decades are coming to light now.
Community policing has been the basis of UK policing for the last 200 years.

The violent US model of presuming crime is about "saving innocents" is dramatically at odds with the US's exceptional mental health crisis -- which forms the basis of most of its community policing issues.

The lack of universal healthcare around mental health is a catastrophe. It's remarkable how tolerant US society is to overwhelming amounts of untreated mental health problems.

Need Feedback for a Android App
Hi guys,

We’ve been working on a new products , the app is useful for accessing files and folders across multiple cloud storage providers. Many useful features such as multi-account support, encrypt and decrypt across multiple files and folders compress and extract functionality and many many more new features are included.

The app is called: Syndoc (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syndoc.merlin&hl=en)

A quick summary of the main features you’ll see (so you can get a sense of what it does, and if you'd like to beta test) - Unified view to view all your cloud drives

1.Upload/download files to Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3 and DropBox
2.Copy and move files quickly between multiple accounts and providers
3.Rename and export files and documents, preview and edit files
4.Compress and extract folders on the go with quick & easy zipping.
5.Designed to protect your data whenever you transfer, store, or access it.
6.Change access permissions for files & folders whenever you need.

Do you guys have any suggestions/advice/feedback?
I'm not interested in video content either. But in recent years I've found that some people respond much better to it.

Anecdotally, it seems like every student on /r/programmerhumor got through their CS degree with the help of algorithms videos on youtube. Despite having trouble understanding the accent, they found it much easier to learn from the video than the book. I prefer the book, even though I would have had no trouble understanding the accent in which these videos are apparently made.

My partner is the same. Finds it difficult to concentrate on a textbook, but easy when it's people talking. I'm not wired this way, and I don't understand why others are wired differently from you and me, but I do accept that it works for them.

The consensus Hacker News would have you think that plain text is the pinnacle of human communication because it's searchable, copy-able, skimmable etc. But many people feel differently. Cloudflare.tv is for them.
Maybe, but I cannot help but hate the cottage industry of tearing down anyone who ever did anything great. In the end we are supposed to think that despite never having done anything on a par with Dickens we're still better because he was a real nasty piece of work, and really the great things he did were just the symptoms of what an awful person he was.

Better to never do anything worthwhile whatsoever.

on edit: I'm probably in a bad mood right now so the negative message hit me harder than it should.
This references the source data: https://theconversation.com/police-are-more-likely-to-kill-m...

It says that between 2013 and 2018, about 96 in 100,000 (approx 1 in 1000) African American men were killed by police in the U.S.

Death from Covid is also lifetime risk.

It is a commonly reported statistic if you want to find other publications that say the same thing. Did you try googling for it — for example google: "1000 black men and boys" police
How do you know it is uncontaminated without looking at the source code?
They're not there to solve problems. They are an interface. They are there to route information from one party to another, and act as information abstractions.

Arguably, they're making you do the job of abstracting the information for them. But that is not a bad thing either; it's like moving the responsibility of testing to programmers instead of testers. It reduces the back and forth overhead of trying to explain the problem and solution.

Ideally the problems are all localized to the people who can solve them, and the manager deals with problems that need resources from multiple departments. But like all "best practices", this can go too far.
"Don't bring me a problem without bringing me a solution."

I blinked once. "Why would I bring you a problem I could solve?"

Ah, some still think it's an interesting thing to run linux in mb. It's ordinary. Soo ordinary and is a must to do
I recently wanted to learn how to use tf.js, so had a couple of mini-projects. The first is a minimal working example showing how to train a model in python and then load it in javascript.

https://github.com/paruby/mnist

The second is the classic game of snake, controlled by pointing your head in the direction you want to steer the snake.

https://github.com/paruby/snake-face/

This uses the MediaPipe Facemesh model with the device camera to work out which direction your head is pointing in.
You make it sound like having separate teams is bad. It's the best. The larger the team the slower it moves.
In US liberals have this idea that police will protect them, but in all documented severe crisis events police was first to run away. Which basically means that everyone is on their own, or at least with their friends/neighbors.

Anyway, take a two day training course on how to use a gun (not “safety” course), otherwise owning a gun is pretty useless. Also, you need to periodically go to the range, and clean the gun after. And stock pile some ammo when you can - you are not going to be able to get any during any crisis.
Linux is fine and nearly zero effort to set up in general.

Unless you run it on very customized special built systems like what Apple tends to produce. Same might apply to some other vendors as well.
> Why bring "current slavery" into it

Because it was mentioned in the post you replied to.

> Have you asked a slave in Saudi Arabia how they feel about the usage of the word Slave in Go documentation?

Why Saudi? Slavery exists globally. You know someone whose ancestors were bought, sold and died as slaves. Ask them how they feel about it.
It is just a world-wide scaled IOU.
The concept looks good to me but still need to evolve a little bit.
For exemple, it would be useful to be able to differentiate simple credit lines (negatives) offered to someone and advance/collateral that was already provided by this third party.
A more fair comparison should include excess mortality for African Americans as a start.

83570 [1] excess deaths in 2002. Another study says AfAm likely death by 65 38-50%, white 20-33%.

That's direct deaths.

I personally would also include life lost in incarceration for basically nothing (way to many sad examples to list).

And all around lower life quality and total bullsh*t that systemic racism has inflicted on POC from the first Colonists.
