> There is a difference between preventing profiling / prejudice and avoiding manipulative, mean people.

I see your point, and yes, there's a difference. I still believe those people can be worked with, in some way or another. Being too selective at the workplace isn't a healthy way to run society.

It's true that there's a difference between discriminating them and avoiding them, but the result and the intention are the same, in my view. Avoiding them is just politically correct and acceptable, but the truth is, it's the same process.

The nazis lost the war, but they won the battle of social darwinism.

> If you are an irritating person that no one wants to be around, you will be socially excluded.

What's not really what I'm talking about. And that's a nature fallacy. The role of civilization has always been to fix the problems of nature. There are many ways to interpret some socials signs as being "irritating". They're often normative or arbitrary.

> I don't know of any movement that is going to champion your cause.

Socialism, would it be democratic, or any form of progressivism, attempts to aim at that cause. Europe is more progressive about this.
> Gnome in general could be convinced to drop Vala in favor Dart

I would be very surprised if that happens.

The last time I checked it seems that if anything changes then that bit-by-bit some components get replaced with new ones written in rust.

Also I honestly would be very surprised if Gnome would move from gtk-based UI to a flutter based UI interface.

I mean besides political reasons the amount of rework you would have to do is probably in a degree which makes it unpractical.

And in context of libre5 and some other developments there was a lot of effort to make gtk-based UI ready to be used with handheld devices.
That is true. It's a tradeoff when you consider to turn off SELinux, too, however.
> Canonical already spent a large amount of investment opensourcing launchpad and nobody other than them operate it.

I posit that this doesn't matter.

Presumably Ubuntu's infrastructure should be open source so that it can be inspected if necessary, for security reasons. It shouldn't matter if nobody else is actually hosting an alternative copy... it is still important that their copy be open source.
I totally agree that there are cases where the most expensive on patent treatment may not be the best for a given patient. That said there are tons of diseases for which new drugs are incredibly beneficial (think treatment of hep c and blindness), and the the development of new drugs is a net good for society.

Patients and doctors can still choose natural remedies if they believe they are the most effective treatment for a given illness.
It's always a shame that W3Schools comes up before literally any other reference, notably MDN. I've always attributed it to their SEO efforts.
It was government subsidised market reality until it finally failed.
Yup, you can see this from the non-action when ICE was abducting undocumented immigrants
I'm an accountant. Have been programming for years, paid college by hacking games and selling bots. Covid19 quarantine gave me the time to dive back in and actually relearning programming correctly, and rekindled my passion for it.
It's actually harder to find a remote job because if I work full time for someone else I will not settle for 500 and probably will not accept anything paying less that my job now.
What's the major mistake? I don't follow.
This is especially interesting as same-sex dating is even more skewed toward online interaction, probably just due to the fact that we make up only ~5% of the population; any person we meet in public is straight 19 out of 20 times [1].

> You give multiple repository support and suddenly users have to one find a way to add another repo, and second there is no way of removing software from those repositories if they do end up malicious.

> Ubuntu is the version of Linux designed to be used by your grandmother. They want to make it as easy as possible for users to install trusted/safe software from both proprietary/free vendors.

By default, GNOME Software and KDE Discover only use the Flathub repository. Your grandmother won't be adding other repositories to the Flatpak client. Users who don't add any extra repositories will use Flathub, which is a trusted source of software that runs on an open source server.

Why would having a larger pool make dating harder?

I think the author is confusing the probability of a “stable marriage” with the probability of a relationship.

What this says is you’d expect cheating to go up. As Chris Rock says, “you’re only as faithful as your options.”
I spent 45 minutes this morning trying to get to the bottom of this whole thing - as usual there is more nuance to this than presented.

- For as far back as I could find, students that wanted to qualify for a student visa to study in the US could take at most one online course per semester. The rest of the coursework had to be in-person.

- Starting in the spring of this year, the SEVP program (part of ICE) created exemptions so students could continue to stay in the US even though universities had moved entirely online. These exemptions were for Spring and Summer and universities were awaiting the rules for Fall.

- As of Monday, they are changing the exemptions. They are allowing any number of online classes, but with the caveat you have to have at least one in-person class.

- If you are already in the US you have to leave if your university is online-only. [This is the part that feels punitive and particularly onerous to me]

What is interesting to me is the framing of this. The new exemptions are still more flexible than the pre-existing student visa policy (which has been around through both Democratic and Republican administrations as far as I can tell). So on the one hand it's actually an improvement. On the other hand I think most of these universities were hoping the full exemption would continue as COVID is still very much a thing.
I was probably overcompensating, trying to be civil.

Yes, imperialist/racist views of the 19th century used this narrative a lot. 20th century racism had a lot of pseudoarchaeology thrown into it too. The concept of "civilisation" especially. A lot of the actual theory is marxist though, a materialist narrative of the neolithic.
I don't run any APT based distribution right now but I understand the issues... I think the biggest problem I see is Canonical developing what looks like a very useful tool but holding it proprietary.

If Canonical provided the snap creation and hosting tools to the community I imagine it would be judged on its technical merits.

As it is, I see more and more reports that Canonical is trying to gain more and more control and that's exactly what I don't like to see.

Would have tried Ubuntu but they've poisoned that well. I'll have to recalculate.
Also Jewish dating and so on.
Call me a pessimist, can we really afford to lunch new “modern” supersonic airplanes when the climate crisis has reached an irreversible turning point, with no solution in sight.

I think efforts like these suffer from serious disconnect at best, or some criminal lack of ethics at worst.
No, it's not. Just the idea that you'd think it would be reasonable to "red team" a program committee shows how far off you are. The red team will succeed every time; program committees generally operate on a presumption of good faith. Reviewers are busy people with their own research commitments; they might spend an hour, tops, if they're generous, on any paper.

Of course, the purpose of the "Sokal Squared" "experiment" was to demonstrate how un-rigorous social science research is, but this is common in hard science fields as well, which just amplifies the dishonesty of the whole enterprise.
This is a great question. We spent a lot of time making sure the Fig can be driven from the keyboard.

You can launch apps, search your shortcuts and toggle focus between the terminal and Fig all without touching the mouse. Our global hot key is CMD+I.

Each Fig app also has its own shortcuts. A few of the conventions we are trying to enforce across all of them are J and K for moving between inputs (tab also works) and the keyboard mnemonics you mentioned.

> Would you describe exactly what will be expensive in releasing the source code to software that was developed in house? Does it have lots of dependencies on proprietary software? If so, why?

If all you're doing is taking an internal repository and hosting it externally, then it takes no time. But if you make sure licenses are being used correctly throughout the code, audit to make sure no internal secrets accidentally made their way into the internal repository (this happens as much in closed source as it does in open source), and you try to remove any problematic code, commit messages or references from the code, it takes time.
You are angry because it's true.
The admission lawsuit against Harvard revealed that they do have quotas for U.S. states to ensure that every state is represented in each admitted class. The university even lowers SAT/ACT and GPA requirements to ensure students from these less populous (Montana, Iowa, Dakotas,Idaho etc) and sometimes lower quality school systems (Mississippi) can get into the school and have a chance against applicants from California, Texas, New York etc.
On latest LTS (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) the apt version is simply a transitional package. It installs the snap for you.

It says so on the description directly next to the name: "Transitional package - chromium-browser -> chromium snap"

There only for people upgrading, so they are not suddenly surprised seeing their browser gone.
Chrome has it for about two years now, since ver. 70. On a Youtube video right-click twice and click "Picture in picture".
Thanks - mind changing this one? Looks like it was submitted by your handle.
I think this is a first step in kicking out Chinese students. If you're from France, South Korea, Nigeria, etc. you'll be invited back soon enough. This is not a judgement on that plan, just a prediction.
I just applied for the developer position! Look forward to chat with the team.
The regulations explicitly mention and close this loophole. To count as in-person it can't just be for people who need help with their visa, and attendance can't be optional or sporadic.

A number of packages provide webview, which can be used to render html pages.
You might like Linux Mint or Pop OS, both of which are re-spins of Ubuntu without snaps.

Or for that matter, regular old Debian probably has 99% of what you need.

Best UI/UX Design Tips for a Mobile App Developer
If you disable the compressed extension then you do get enforced alignment. So, for example RV32I, RV64I both 32-bit alignment. I just ran a small linux program I had for RV32GC and I found 2 places where an instruction crossed a page border. I don't understand why they thought that was a good idea, and for such a modern architecture too, but I guess on hardware it's fine?
Super cool to see how much talking to customers has informed your product decisions. Identifying tasks to automate sounds like a hard problem, but I'd imagine it's a huge advantage when making sales. Good luck!
We have different ethical standards then. If a company is a monopoly that actively leverages its power to manipulate entire populations, then I am fine with exploiting services which it makes available. They have the ability to keep me from accessing the site if I use an ad blocker. If they want me off the platform that much, they can boot me off.
The title is misleading and editorialized. Suggest: "A St. Paul BLM Leader Quits Over Charter School Platform."
It's interesting in that I quite like the idea of snap packages, just not their implementation. I recently purged snaps from my Ubuntu Mate machines after a few years of use because of the realization of only using two:

1. The micro terminal editor.

2. Chromium, because it was forced.

Well, #1 was packaged for 20.04 so I didn't need it any longer. That left Chromium. For that single package, I had to tolerate my system being spammed all over:

- Multiple irrelevant loopbacks cluttering my mounts list

- Dedicated folders in filesystem: /snap ~/snap

- Very slow startup, for chromium.

- Lots of disk space taken

- An always running daemon! (Wasn't it root too? Can't remember). apt doesn't need a daemon.

Sheesh! That's not even mentioning the store issues which others have described already.

Sorry, but a few newer packages here and there are not worth all that. I'll handle it myself, thanks. What snap does isn't actually that hard. I'd keep it around if it wasn't so obnoxious at putting itself in front and center of everything.
Look at the great circle route. Hawaii is way to the south. (Although Anchorage isn't quite on the way either.) As I recall when my dad was flying to Japan a lot--sometimes on the company plane--there would sometimes be refueling stops in Anchorage though that may have been leaving from Michigan.
This sounds like something generated by a GPT-2/3 language model. It sounds like a random but coherent association of words. I have no idea what point you're making or what you're trying to communicate.

I'd delete the post and think of something more coherent to say.
> The problem with the "rational agent" model is that it's a tautology. Yes sure everyone wants more utility, great, but everyone's utility function is slightly different. As you say some are risk takers pursuing insane rewards/yields/profits with low probability, while others are super risk-averse conservative in their choices, etc.

There's nothing in the rational agent model that assumes that everyone has the same definition of utility function. Different people want different things.
Some people have this thing called morale.
They used to advertise Concorde in movies with lines like "did you know the Concorde will get you there in half the time?"
That study estimates years of life lost for people that died, not the infected population:

Among patients dying of COVID-19, there appears to be a considerable burden in terms of years of life lost

I don't think you are deliberately misusing statistics here, but this common confusion massively overstates the risk of infection in the same way that the early focus on Case Fatality Rates did. To be meaningful, those Years Of Life Lost numbers need to be multiplied by the Infection Fatality Rate.

I can't find an IFR for 75+, but the CDC currently has 1.3% for age 65+. The average 65yo has 19.1 years of life remaining (2010 stats, also from the CDC).

1.3% * 19.1 years = ~0.25 years, or about 4 months.

This is probably a conservative estimate - older people have fewer years remaining.

Look, if covid-19 actually reduced the average lifespan of the population by a decade, I'd be in a panic too. Thankfully, it doesn't.
This ignores the enormous logistical difficulties associated with, say, timezones. If my online classes are at 2 AM but the grocery store is only open from 9-5, I am going to be exhausted all semester.
In this case, I think "limited to" means available with, not rendered inside of.
Facebook fails its own audit over civil rights and hate speech decisions
Most notably, Pop OS (I'm doing the damn silly punctuation) takes all of the stuff that Ubuntu has made snap-only and builds them as debs. So it's basically Ubuntu de-snapified.
> state-owned

i don't think thats what people think when they say "non profit".

non profits are usually privately held.
In my opinion experienced developers are mostly pretty dumb even at top firms. Yes they are GREAT at the particular thing they have invested the most into labeling themselves but are often stuck in some tunnel vision or just do not care to learn new things. Many young developers are eager, learning multiple technologies/languages at once, work across back-end, front-end, network, dev ops..to be a successful new developer the wall is much much higher than it was for developers 20 years ago. These old guys can't do much tbh and are so slow at adapting, they don't even have excitement in meetings or anything. So boring. You can do what you want in life but don't complain if you are replaced.
Counter-point: https://twitter.com/hasharin/status/1280890362945560577
Nearly every packaging system is able to successfully divorce building of software from offering artifacts for download let alone ops. This is arguing that having failed to design their system appropriately we ought to accept the fruits of that bad design instead of dumping Ubuntu. Compare this with apt.

Second what you describe as a defect. There being multiple sources of software is a plus it means the power is in the hands of the user to decide whom to trust. What you don't want is a situation where people must configure additional sources just to have commonly needed software. The example you provide about the Java PPA is apt, pun intended, ideally commonly required software would be provided by the vendor instead of siloed in a third party source. Of course the vendor and the license must make this possible.
White dwarfs reveal new insights into the origin of carbon in the universe
I searched for "common" - https://www.runnaroo.com/search?term=common and noticed the first result had a json payload as the description, which isn't visible on the site. Seems like a possible bug.
absolutely! but that already existed. (free tools that don't result in something that can be fabbed)

what you would get out of this is access to a google-promoted open source PDK. It's specific to SkyWater so "open source" don't mean a whole lot, not today anyway. The available libraries are very immature. It's clearly a nice promotion for SkyWater, one I am enthusiastic about, but nonetheless not the shimmering beacon you're looking for.

You already know this: time is your most precious commodity. Don't bumble your way through a thinly disguised and immature FOSS offering. Cadence Virtuoso online training is just $3k per seat per year[1]. That said, I'm completely talking out of my rear. I've no idea if the training is actually useful without having a license for Virtuoso, where the webs say license costs are 6 figures per seat. I'd enroll in a university program to get access ... [2]

I just suggest this based on your stated goals, to be able to have enough proficiency to use professionally. Certainly you don't need 10,000 hours, and some of that is amortized by related experience, but time is your #1 enemy here, not money. Any money you can spend to jumpstart things is money well spent. OTOH if you just want to enjoy exploring IC design in a noncommittal hobbyist way, as a learning "experience" ala MasterClass, then this project does seem an excellent starting point.

SkyWater is a "trusted foundry", whatever that means, apparently completely US-based. Therefore, I think the most valuable thing that could ultimately (say 5 years hence) come out of this would be for OpenTitan to be "ported" to ASIC and to the SkyWater process. 130nm is large but for this application, for IoT in general, for anything not a mobile handset, it would be powerful. Imagine a Raptor TALOS workstation with an OpenTitan RoT! Or, your own design PCIe card with your own fabbed and X-Ray verifiable RoT. Powerful.

I would try fedora or centos. They have good stability and documentation. In my admittedly limited experience centos has worked better for me than debian or ubuntu.
Only iff they drop Fuchisa.

And if they drop Fuchisa and flutter has enough (relevant) apps using it in the Android Ecosystem they probably would keep it still around.

But my guess is that one long play Google want's to keep open for them is to start replacing Android with Fuchisa and push for a ecosystem where they have control more similar to apple. I.e. directly push updates to phones without the phone manufacturer as middle man. As this is a source of a lot of problems with Android making it less competitive against iOs.

That doesn't quite generalize to all mining/quarrying. For instance, talc(um) is often contaminated with asbestos because the two minerals often found in close proximity to one another. I don't think anyone is suggesting spreading either of those on fields, but a modicum of care needs to be taken regardless.
Aren't you changing more than just snaps by changing the distro? It seems the philosophy of Arch is different to a Debian based linux.

Can't you simply opt out of using snaps and keep using .deb with Ubuntu, no matter what Canonical is pushing as their preferred distribution?

The Case of the Missing 40k Jerry Nugget Decks: A Detective Story
Japanese companies have a baffling knack for internal innovation that kind of transcends the overwhelming management style.

All the overtime and useless meetings produce a lot of decisions by consensus that balance out the random “maverick” ideas a VP might come up with. This creates a bizarre balancing act that sometimes produces decently market-synced products.

Also the just crazy amount of seasonality in Japan makes even the slowest moving company make large pivots at least four times a year. New season? New product, even if it’s weird and nobody wanted it, they figure out how to sell it and get 1500 workers to all shift left at the same time.
Try Manjaro. It's based on Arch, but with a little more stable software, think Debian Testing instead of Sid. Simpler to install and works like a charm.
