I tried Ubuntu, again, very recently and had to give up. This was like only 2-3 days of usage. And it is only the stuff I can remember now

I have two monitors, but Ubuntu thought their positions were swapped. I swapped them back in settings and it looked good and I hit enter to accept "is it good" pop up. Then I noticed my mouse was on left screen while it registers the clicks on right. Took me quite a while to revert it back

Firefox was really unresponsive. Was hanging at times and generally felt slower

This is subjective, but its UX sucks really. I tried to install some apps, there is like 3 different application managers? None of them was pinned.

Can't even install 7z via application managers. There is one application but it didn't work for me. Had to use console.

Can't install unrar by default unless you add some repositories. I guess since it is not free. It is even harder for codes since they are just binaries I think? And they come with a package that contains a lot of other stuff that includes chromium? Wth

Tried to figure out what my local ip is, couldn't find it on any user interface. Opened console typed "ifconfig" and it is not there now. I had to google which command it was

It decided to do some random updates in the background and stuck I think. It had apt-get lock, which was blocking me to install applications manually

In my opinion Ubuntu Desktop is not improving, at least for average Joe (and I am a bit above that). The opposite really.
Who are these people who we have evidence for such crimes and are let go?

Just don't pretend like killings of career criminals resisting arrest (like George Floyd) is what we're talking about.
> “A question that we might ask the employees who are feeling some frustration about their co-workers being on leave is what do you think is going to happen if that person quits?” she said. “You’re going to actually be stretched further.”

This is the actual calculus; it’s not the companies role to ensure or subsidize child care. It’s a societal problem that both parents are expected, indeed required in a lot of cases, to work. Everyone should vote appropriate to their belief in November!

Explicitly, the choice for working parents is for one parent to quit. Single people or couples with no school age children don’t face this choice.
for example: operating systems, programming languages, human computer interaction, etc.

Those topics might seem to have nothing to do with math but all of their components have mathematical underpinnings. Algorithms, data structures, complexity theory, and even the physics of end-to-end latency, colour perception, etc.

There probably are some people out there, working in these fields with only a high school math background, but I'd imagine they're exceedingly rare. Anyone who's completed a CS degree has done their fair share of math.
> So the spoken language uses Chinese based characters to record the sounds in writing, but it may not necessarily have relation to what the sounds are in Chinese if someone were to read the characters as if Chinese.

Sort of as an example, educated persons in what is now Tajikistan formerly used the arabic/persian derived script. Tajik is mututally intelligible with the Dari spoken in Kabul and is a dialect of Persian. Most of the area was historically part of the greater persian empire at one point in time.

After the Russian influence and Soviet Union grew much stronger, the education system in Tajikistan was forcibly switched to using the cyrillic alphabet to write down the sounds of spoken Tajik Persian.

Now there is a movement to revert to the Farsi writing system as is used in Afghanistan.
> laughable

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" -- Misattributed

> horrible user interfaces and is every bit as user-hostile as for-pay software

This statement is laughable. A poorly designed UI is not equivalent to a UI filled with dark patterns. I was asserting that free software is a known solution to user-hostile software, not a solution to bad UI.

Do you really think being confused about how to rebase in git is the same as being tricked into creating an online Microsoft account instead of a local account when installing Windows? Or being tricked into buying some TurboTax add-on that you didn't want or need, and can't refund without wasting 2 hours on the phone?

The solution to the git problem is to read the documentation. Nobody is actively trying to prevent you from solving your problem, the designers are just bad at UI design. The solution to Microsoft's problem is to realize that it's intentionally user-hostile, and you have to find a workaround that they don't want you to use, like temporarily disconnecting from the internet. The solution to the TurboTax problem is to just be vigilant and paranoid and exhausted at all times.

The git situation is unfortunate. The Microsoft and TurboTax situations are stupid user-hostile bullshit. They're not even remotely equivalent.

I'm going to stick to my principles and continue working to create the software future that I actually prefer. I won't tell you to "just fork it and fix it yourself" like some other people might -- you're free to take the short term perspective if you prefer. You're free to laugh at me and others if you prefer.

But in the long run, your perspective is wrong. Free software is like a steamroller. It's slow, but it's slow because the people building it observe what's being built around them and tend to take the longer route of building it correctly rather than just cranking out whatever makes investors happy.

In the long run, the git UI will be improved, or an better replacement will turn up. Microsoft's telemetry, on the other hand, will never go away.
Propensity to spend on games possibly as well
This is way over analyzing the situation.

They are not testing for such things. Sometimes over drinks, someone might say something, possibly rude, possibly just perceived as that. I wouldn't perceive it as rude if someone said to me 'Kid, XYZ is dead!'. It's just a statement.

There are not 'introduction of variables' here.

Also, I would perceive it a rude to meet someone in a social situation and have them 'pitch' to me. That part of 'always hustling' in every social setting is one of the reasons I will never move back to the Valley.
Got my entire immediate family on signal - the big feature is the multi device support for a lot of folks on iMessage, using the Signal desktop app seems to be good enough.
Moving Grab isn't a big deal, considering Grab's founders are Malaysian Chinese, and likely face indirect discrimination thanks to Malaysia's constitution. Malaysia drove them away, Singapore didn't persuade them.

Edit:- to counter your example, devs are not as highly paid for the living costs of Singapore. And they don't even form part of the upper bracket, which is largely populated by people in finance and management.
You could also generalize the person name "algorithm" with "method for solving things" and it would be more readable.
It’s not contradictory. The children experienced none of the typical COVID symptoms during their initial infection, which present themselves in 2-14 days. Hence, they’re categorized “asymptomatic.” Subsequent to the infection (3-4 weeks), they develop MIS-C, which manifests with the cited symptoms.

This all rings true but from my vantage point this kind of management ends up introducing excess overhead that makes my work life more fraught with emotional uncertainty rather than less. I avoid it altogether.

I don't want anyone, let alone an EM — someone overwhelmingly likely to have below average emotional intelligence relative to the general population — to be probing into my inner life in 1:1s and playing 4D chess orchestrating the team. I've experienced this. It's exhausting.

The whole organizational arrangement is misbegotten. Most companies follow it largely out of faddishness and cargo-culting.
I think that even an arbitrary name (e.g. quark colors blue, green, red) is easier to digest/process/memorize over a person’s name that may be from a language you are not familiar with. However that also points to another problem. How do you translate? Do you force the word from the discover’s language on all other languages or do you translate it? If you translate then you are introducing drift but if you don’t translate then the word is just as effective as a foreign name. It’s almost like you would have to come up with a table for the concept in all common languages. So while names suck I don’t know what would be better.
I’m glad you have something that fits your need but can we retire the trope of saying that something in a product marketed as “pro” is somehow inappropriate for “professionals”?

The “pro” term is really just a marketing upsell and different professionals need different things.

I wrote tons of code for my job on a 12” MacBook (crappy kbd and all) that even Apple didn’t market as “pro”. Doesn’t make me unprofessional nor does it say anything about the people who need capabilities that machine didn’t have. I simply needed the light weight.
I suspect a USB 3 KVM switch does not exist. His solution also doesn't help if you want to switch a USB 3 device between computers. So that isn't really a con.

Why do we have to make everything so forcefully career driven? Just enjoy writing code and showing it to the world if you want - no strings attached. Github helps in this case.
The opposite is true. In rural places, you often only have Wi-Fi by way of AT&T DSL or WildBlue/HughesNet satellite broadband. Your iMessage messages always deliver instantly. Meanwhile, the SS7 SMS messages always fail to send, because you have 0 bars of cellular service. Even in cases where there is cellular service, iMessage and other IP-based messaging is far more reliable.

there are places in the world that name themselves much more intuitively

Plenty of similar examples in the United States. West Gate, South Park, Big Ugly Creek. Sometimes it doesn't work out, like how South Charleston, West Virginia is northwest of Charleston.

Related, you can learn a lot about the history of a place by studying maps.

Hartford, New York, Throggs Neck, Kill Van Kill, Schuylkill, Gravesend, Brooklyn, The Bronx, all gain extra meaning if you know a little bit of history.

Dataclasses have __post_init__, but they don't have a __pre_init__, do they? From what I can tell, PrePostInitMeta adds a completely new __dunder__ method with pre_init.
I've always thought there was a nice breakdown here in math; name things after what they are if they can be stated concisely, name them after discoverers as a short hand for here-there-be-dragons.
Could you provide the rest of your reply? There's multiple possible discussions that could stem from the facts you've presented, but without your conclusion drawn from them it's not clear to me how to proceed. (If you'd rather not, no worries.)
Yes, basically accurate if you produce the same amount in less time...that is productivity growth.

But: it isn't sustained productivity growth (it is one-time), there will be losses elsewhere in the economy (won't someone think of the landlords!), and most people aren't going to swap their commute time for more actual production (which is perfectly fine, the purpose of life isn't work...but the point is there will be no output growth, inputs are changing but output isn't).
Absolutely. When defining new areas the most important things are not bringing along baggage of irrelevant context and being distinct from other things--anything that's unique and visibly distinct (e.g. not like Q123512). Using common words would be the worst as we have ideas about them but the analogies break down fast and get in the way.
Everyone who completed a physics degree has done at least as much math as a CS degree holder, is physics a subfield of math?

(I think there is a discussion to be had about making the distinction "CS" vs "theoretical CS" as the GP comment does, or if it should be "CS" vs some other term ("computing"? feels a bit general))
How do you define high output. I remember I was in high school and there were 10 homework problems. I goofed off all day and everyone else worked on the home work. They got 9 of them done. I got interested and solved the 10th. Had I worked on the 9 problems with them I might not of even had the desire/energy to look at the 10th.

I'm not far from your thinking but as sad as people's behavior was during covid, I wouldn't use it as a general case, it's a weird and wide crisis.

Also human groups of various scales differ. Some 20 people companies self organized.. larger group may not be able to do so.

This brings the question of the influence of education (both technical and emotional). A group a wiser and well balanced emotionally would behave very differently under a pandemic than a group of medium skilled in both.

Agreed. The title is disappointing, especially coming from the IEEE.

Anybody who works on radio quickly understands that the radio spectrum is the most precious most scarce resource on the planet.
Is this a joke? I really can’t tell
No change. Just because your radio is "software defined," doesn't change physics and signal processing math. There are 'best' ways to use a given piece of spectrum, and while a SDR can make your hardware more flexible, it can't change that the most efficient way to use spectrum is usually to have a dense set of subcarriers modulating amplitude and phase.
By avoiding a strict multiple-access protocol on a band, everything just gets worse; probabilistic back off is inefficient vs hard-scheduling.
Every wireless system I've worked on (satellite radio, WiFi, LTE) has been very spectrum constrained, so I dont really believe in this future where spectrum is cheap.
"Pandering to Apple" on the matter of whether your messaging is free and colored blue or green? As opposed to the fundamental moral question of how families and children treat each other in poisonous, classist ways?

Next we'll say that accepting Nike's swoosh is pandering to Nike, and look at all the poisonous affects Nike's swoosh is having on kids with no-brand shoes.
That’s not what that data says.

> One thing that is clear from history is that forming groups is bad.

Dividing groups and pitting them against each other is bad. Forming groups was the innovation that set our primate ancestors apart from their solitary mammal peers. None of us are as strong as all of us.

You need devices which can objectively measure the strength of something like an ankle in multiple vectors of motion. And then algorithms which can combine the data into a meaningful index.
So it’s cheap to say that old-Winamp does the same with let’s say 1-10% of the resources that a remake in electron does? How so? Isn’t it interesting from a historical perspective? Can’t we learn from history? If anything history could be an anchor point for where we can go back to or it can tell us that if we just try harder we can achieve more. How is that cheap? If anything it is powerful to keep reminding ourselves that we can do better as an industry and that we shouldn’t settle for mediocrity.
Jean-Pierre Serre has a fun talk where he says that to write mathematics badly, you can write papers called "A proof of a theorem of Euler", the idea being that there are so many that the title gives 0 information.

But we don’t know what SARS would’ve done if it became a pandemic illness, because it’s a whole other set of conditions at that scale.

We’re not anywhere at the point where we have a clear picture of the long term health consequences of this disease because enough time has not passed since it began spreading.

This is an initial review of a troubling new complication. It will likely take years for us to understand it’s full effects, whatever they are or are not.

But that reason is stuck in a descriptive clause modifying "lime-plaster" or "a coating of lime-plaster".

You wouldn't write "Walls were sometimes whitewashed with a coating of lime-plaster which was white and because lime kills off bacteria." The longer sentence makes it less jarring until you try to parse it carefully, but still very poor style.

When commits move from one tree to another (which is the only time when full code review isn't done, because the maintainer is generally trusted), it is done with a GPG-signed tag. Email's lack of signing therefore is not an issue.

That doesn't sound very difficult. You could measure the angle that someone could extend before feeling pain, or ensure the ankle could apply a certain amount of pressure before the patient feels pain, etc.

There comes a time when your internal expectations don’t align with the world, and this is one of those times. The days when “senior” meant a decade or more of experience are long gone. Now the industry has decided that 5 years is a senior software engineer, 10 years is a principal. Enjoy the higher pay while it lasts.

Ask HN: Can signal processing experts contribute to sustainable food production?
From the outside I've always seen the field of sustainable food and artificial meat production as extremely important but am not aware of any ways someone with my skills can contribute to it. My training is as a communications engineer. I've thought about information theory, signal processing and statistics. Is there any demand for these skills in that sector?

Thanks
Out of general interest, which kinds of OSS have you come across that aren't packaged for Fedora?

I'm sure there are obviously some; anything proprietary or with patent encumbrance requires using rpmfusion or something, and that may be a step further than enabling multiverse. Some stuff just might not be packaged. Ubuntu and Debian repositories are also exceptionally broad.

But I can't, right off the top of my head, think of that much of OSS that I couldn't install either from the official repos or rpmfusion.

Maybe I've just forgotten about any loops I had to jump through, but I've been using Fedora for about six years now (after moving from Ubuntu), and I've found that the repos are much richer than I thought they were. But maybe I just haven't run into the holes that you have found.

There are some things I preferred about Ubuntu, but generally things have been working surprisingly well for me.

GPT-3 is leaking =)
To a certain extent both sides are right. What it really comes come to is communication. The real question is who should the language be optimized for?

One side feels the intended audience is of the same field and sufficiently sophisticated enough to understand the somewhat obscure naming. Others don’t understand it because it simply isn’t for them.

The other side may come from other tangential domains with their own unique language. They don’t understand why those specialists use such obscure language meanwhile they do the same in their own field.

You see the same in any large organization. Seemingly random acronyms get created as lazy shorthand that conflict with other orgs understanding. It’s of course no consequence to those in the “in crowd” but it hampers communication between groups. Considering communication is one of the ever present hurdles between groups it seems reasonable to me to optimize communication between groups rather than within groups.
I think they're defining "productivity" as a fraction, i.e you used to be able to do 38 hours of work in exchange for 43 hours of your life. Now it's 38 hours of work while only using 38 hours.
It is like saying Chemistry is a subfield of math, because at some point they use numbers to describe things (mass and such)....

It is not. Applied Computer Science has as much common with math as Chemistry does with math.

I view theoretical computer science as mostly self-masturbatory, to the point that is very very divorced from real life applications and is benefiting very little to us.

Also the market has spoken as well. Someone with CS degree, and 5 years of experience can command a higher salary than someone that took 5 years to get his/her phd in CS. A phd degree is not seen as valuable, mostly because it is not seen as beneficial and it is very divorced to reality of applied computer engineering.
