Perhaps too much choice. The lack of a single dominant leader in the desktop Linux distribution space makes standardization a challenge. Thus every Linux desktop is a little different.

Personally I find PopOS to be the perfect blend of what I want in a desktop Linux system, but because desktop Linux isn't popular enough it still lacks support from major software producers such as Adobe.
The redefined question only has an obvious answer if you reject any possibility of a simulated or non-physical reality.

If our reality is simulated, or if the idealists are right, then physics might well have temporal and spatial anomalities dependent on observability.

Ironically I've just elsewhere on this thread argued that materialism makes sense as long as we can not observe anything to violate it, and as such idealism is largely pointless. I should perhaps have added a qualification that this is true in terms of practical application.

That is, we have every reason to assume that the laws of nature are universal, but if they are 'just' universal within the constraints of what we can observe, then while we can continue to act as if they are universal, we may have no way of determining if they are.

As such I do think the question has no practical bearing. Yet we can not dismiss the possibility that what we observe as reality takes shortcuts when we're 'not looking'
Solo cup and Dixie cup are pretty well known, heck I’m not American and I’m aware of both references.

Dixie cups are usually referred to the smaller water cooler cups, solo cups are usually the bigger ones used for beer and soft drinks.

Also remember that many third world type countries see these types of careers as a way to leave their country to go to the western world. People in the western world figure out they can make more than doctors by being jackasses on YouTube.
In USA the ship has sailed on European earthworms a loooong time ago. Combating that is like hitting a river with a stick.
I really hate it when people's attitude to pretty much anything is 'well that is just how it is done' - as we haven't really been doing anything at all in the modern way we a do it, that long. The way we live, love, create, eat and work are constantly evolving and changing. Only 25 x 80 year life spans separate us from the time of Jesus or 62 lifetimes since the start of the dynastic Egyptians.

> It means that it's likely to be very painful to port the code out of docker and integrate it into some other build.

No it wouldn't. Dockerfiles are stupid simple. A bunch of ADD/COPY commands to add files, and a bunch of RUN commands that are basically wrapping shell scripts.

Plus, find me a modern build system (CI/CD system, rather) that doesn't natively support Docker. It's become a lingua franca at this point.

I just wish it was faster on its own without me having to do all the legwork of maintaining lower layer containers etc. to avoid lengthy package install times.
Woke Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed Again?
My daughter has synesthesia. She is an adult now but we discovered it when, at about the age of three, when asking her if she knew the meanings of words, she would preface her definitions with, "That's a yellow (or whatever color) word." It led us to realize that, to her, sounds had distinct colors and that she found it hard to believe that was not the case for everyone.

Is it a blessing or a curse? It is hard to say but perhaps a mixture of both.

In the possible blessings column, she is, without a shred of hyperbole, an innately skilled artist and has been since she was old enough to hold a pen. Her works, illustration, paintings and sculpture, flow fully formed without any apparent planning or sketchy second-guessing. It is quite a thing to see but I have no idea whether, or how much, her synesthesia plays in it. Her palettes are incredible.

She is not a musician but finds live music to be so pleasurable that she goes to extremes — such as driving 350 miles round trip on a weeknight after work — to see concerts or live acts, and often four or five nights a week. This is a curse in the regard that it has in the past threatened her financially and I worry about her hearing. The pandemic has curtailed this and she terribly misses the music.

I don’t know of any off the top of my head, but I have seen them.

Besides that though, firmware updates require an internet connection, and those updates contain keys for newer AACS versions. So if you want to play a just-released movie, you may need a player capable of AACS 72 (or whatever it’s at now), but yours may only support AACS 52 (out of the box).

MakeMKV does require an update for each new AACS version.

Funnily enough, POWER is one of the notable platforms NetBSD has basically no support for at all. NetBSD will run on 32 bit PowerPC Macs, but only those. No support for 64 bit kernels or userlands, and only the most bare bones support for early 32 bit OF power systems.

OpenBSD recently added support for the PowerNV/OpenPOWER platform, could probably use their locore to bootstrap a NetBSD system. Still wouldn't run on a PowerVM system like the E980 :)
Sorry for the off topic tangent but your juxtaposition makes me wonder, are there species of bacteria that have been considered "invasive" on geographic scales? Like, one inadvertently brought by humans from one place to another, where they are now endemic and have disrupted the local ecosystem.
None of those actually.

Mind you 4/5 of what's listed here is also functionally available on -nix, or straight up pales in comparison.

Specifically looking at Storage Spaces and ReFS: can't protect boot media with it (can't boot from USB either really, WTG depreciated), can't do error correction outside of basic configurations, also awesome to look at data loss and performance issues up into 2019 on "stable" releases with hardware on the HCL.

The WMI is a Windows-ism that has similar analogs with tooling on -nix. Don't get me wrong though, along with PowerShell the WMI/CIM stuff is extremely awesome.

Don't really care what MacOS does, not sure why it was mentioned, that's not what I'd consider in the "server" space.

Off the top of my head based on recent solutions I've had to implement: I'm talking stuff like per-process/user network stack segmentation (NetNS), proper native container primitives with an ecosystem to match (cgroups, runC, container, etc.), out of the box full syscall level auditing and logging (kernel auditing framework), fine grained and configurable application mandatory access control (AppArmor, SELinux), low level insight into storage properties should you ever need it (relevant FS tools), fully integrated storage and volume management options (ZFS; on FreeBSD at least), live kernel updates, and in general not making me want to gouge my eyes out any time I have to touch networking configuration.

I believe we probably occupy different spaces though, as I can see some things you mentioned that aren't entirely relevant to my use cases, as I'm sure the things I mentioned may not be relevant to yours.
Ask HN: Is open source reducing engineer's jobs?
while lots of the software would need lots of engineer's jobs to create them, today a lot of them are just taken from github.
I think at one point it was creating more jobs because it makes the history progress faster,
however now is it reducing jobs ?
This seems more like a process / testing issue. Someone should've tested this update, at least once, before it was deployed to the public, right?

Perhaps not less intelligent, but just possessed of a mental framework that was less capable.

From a paper describing "the Romulus and Remus hypothesis"[1],

"the leap from rich-vocabulary non-recursive communication system to recursive language 70,000 years ago was associated with acquisition of a novel component of imagination, called Prefrontal Synthesis, enabled by a mutation that slowed down the prefrontal cortex maturation simultaneously in two or more children"

You can't design a desktop GUI by committee. But when it comes to Linux everyone wants a say. The model for open source code contributions just doesn't work for visual and interaction design. (Or if it does, I've yet to see a successful example that wasn't an exception rather than the rule).

When there are too many participants in the visual and interaction design of a program or OS, you end up with a project pulled in every direction and pleasing to no-one. But if you go the opposite route and limit design decisions to a dedicated UX team (like Canonical did for Ubuntu), you end up generating resentment from contributors or users who feel their input is being ignored.

One of the best Linux desktop GUIs was Corel Linux which was released in 1999(!). Corel understood that a consistent look-and-feel and ease-of-use were essential to attract new users. But even back then they faced criticism from Linux developers over various design decisions. Rinse and repeat this scenario for every attempt to create a consistent, cohesive Linux desktop over the years.

That’s still very unreasonably large and is going to cause real problems for some users, though not as many (and is still going to be uselessly slow to load for many—much of the world, including where large numbers of developers, even SwiftUI developers, are, doesn’t have multi-megabit-per-second speeds). Look, even 20MB is too large. Please, I beg you, just don’t put any GIFs on that page: just make it clear that it’s a video, e.g. by overlaying a circled play icon on the image and making it a link to the relevant video on YouTube.
It's hard to convey how different acquiring knowledge used to be in the old days.

There was so much less information .. no Google, no online groups, and certainly no stack overflow .. but red books were true compediums of hard won knowledge.

Today the core skill is being able to drive Google, to quickly sift search results, to parse through page after page of shitty low quality cruft to find the nuggets of knowledge you need.

Back in the day, you could read a red book on a plane flight and land with a greatly enhanced foundational understanding of the subject.
Inoculation, technically.
The HIV conspiracy theories were kind of silly though and they were able to trace the source to chimpanzees. Things seem different with covid.
But that's a fight between either CPUs OR GPU. It doesn't given indication that both could be useful simultaneously.
> I was just giving the recommendations in the context of 'Do you know any good books or resources to read up more on random algorithms?'. Not with any regard to practicality.

Fair enough! I still think it's a good recommendation, I was also adding on some thoughts on things that might be easier to digest :-)

> Chazelle also came up with the ingenious soft heaps.

Yes, soft heaps are very cool!

> I have an algorithmic puzzle..

Cool puzzle! Hmm, the solutions depend on exactly what you're asking.

The puzzle is substantially easier if the min-pop operation is not required to return anything. In this case, you are solving the much easier problem "return the top k elements of an array in unsorted order". You can insert into an unordered list and increment a counter every time min-pop is called. Then the last step can be done with a basic quickselect. See https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~avrim/451f11/lectures/lect0908.pdf page 21, the "QuickSelect" algorithm. You need to do some small modifications to give you the "top k" elements rather than just the "kth" element. This gives expected linear time, and the note describes a deterministic algorithm that makes this worst-case linear time.
You can implement deterministic quick select using soft heaps, or instead you could also do a radix sort and then slice out the popped elements.

If the min-pop operation is required to return the popped element, then I believe you run into the sorting linear bound that prevents a deterministic O(n) solution. (Surprisingly, this indicates the hardness of the problem is not really in the last step, it's in implementing constant-time insert and pop). I can't think of an immediate solution off the top of my head, but I don't think a soft-heap provides the right guarantees here. I also don't know of a probabilistic data structure that provides both insert and min-pop in expected amortized constant time, and it seems that this could be an area of research. There are some better, but not quite linear results outside the comparison-based model (https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/6455/an-efficient-dat...)
Yep. Plenty of real things to argue about.
Clojure's take on types is not so much that types are bad at micro scale, it's that focusing on proving referential transparency above all else leads to cultural problems at the macro scale. For example, the Datomic Peer API is the most elegant and ergonomic database API I've ever seen. Queries compose as functions under the illusion that the database is a local data structure and this results in a beautiful information model. But if you tried to put IO types on Datomic you find that it spews IO everywhere. And yet it works incredibly well with good enough performance for a wide band of applications! I think you don't find stuff like that in Pure FP ecosystems because those communities coordinate under principles of RT and algebra, and are thus unable to consider a solution space rooted in a different set of principles.
At an industrial/commercial scale, there are probably significant challenges ensuring your input stream is all actually compostable. The same sort of problem faced by recycling- which impairs its commercial viability.

That said, my county is planning on building a commercial compost facility as part of a strategy to stop spending money building landfills. 50% of our current non-recycling waste stream is allegedly compostable. I hope it pans out.

I know it's tired to invoke the nazis, but think about this: would you work for a company that would offer your dream job, in your dream area of work, with a dream salary, and so on? The only catch would be that you would have to say "hail Hitler" whenever you met one of your coworkers.

It's a small thing. Just two words.

The problem is, they mark you as bowing to nazi ideology.

In the same sense, even seemingly little "wokeness demands" actually are the demand to bow before woke ideology. It's simply unbearable to many people, just as (hopefully) having to say "Hail Hitler" would be unbearable to you.
Ask HN: First steps you take when designing a library/framework?
Or more specifically a piece of application that is long-lasting or modular that aids you or specific community of other programmers in solving a technological problem when writing their business logic.

Do you first start tinkering with the implementation or use case? Do you begin drafting data structs, interfaces first or maybe you just go with the flow?
As a complete antithesis to this point of view, I like the silhouette that work/service pants give me. When paired with a good polo shirt, it gives off the confident vibe that I know perfectly well where I'm going and what I'm doing and that there's no need to interrupt me for whatever reasons, because I'm probably doing something important. I've never had so few religious people/coupon hawkers annoy me on the street and so many people decide to ask me for directions over everyone else in crowded streets before I started dressing like this.

Obviously the broad-shouldered build, full beard, glasses and balding head help sell the appearance.

Fashion is only for people who need other people to tell them what to wear.
As a Swiss I agree that compatibility with the constitution is a major problem of referendums, somewhat less so of parliament decisions. One measure I'd like to see is to (a) forbid the government to send the people anything other than the proposed legal text (as other material is often very manipulative) and (b) extend the options for answering to yes/no/I don't understand. Third option in enough quantity could then trigger another round of making the text more clear and succinct and then trying again on the next voting Sunday.

If the main dig against traditional IPOs is that they are miss priced I don't see how SPACs fix that. Two SPAC offerings in recent memory that I'm aware of, Virgin Galactic, and Nikola both had huge run ups soon after the mergers happened. This dynamic seems more likely to be a product of hype and limited available shares initially due to lockup periods.

Impossible is a big word :). But while a C or C++ program tends to crash in the presence of an error, like with a segfault, a lot of languages just throw an error which you can catch. So you could proceed with the default values, if the file cannot be read correctly.

The US has a doctor shortage because the entire system is designed to make it expensive and difficult to become one in order to legitimize high salaries. The US has arcane rules like only allowing US residencies to practice in the US unlike basically every other country.

Students go in expecting to do good in the world, are put through a grinder, and come out thinking fuck everything at least I get paid. The system self-perpetuates instead of increasing the number of physicians, reducing pay to the mere low hundreds of thousands, making medical school not only free but paid, and reducing work load and redundant overlaps to increase patient safety (as turn over between shifts is one of the most dangerous times of day).
