I think for next edition:
- Maintainers should create a month ahead opt-in and list some good issues for hacktoberfest. This means, we agree to help you start on OSS and have something which is meaninful for us listed.
- A browsable list of projects which opted in. So you can look for projects to contribute.
- It will look something more like GSoC.
- What I think it would be great is if maintainers are willing to mentor newcomers so they are able to help more in the future, not only on a given october timeframe.

Sorry, I didn't really get into this claim in my previous reply. I meant to, but then forgot. :/

> In fact we are on track for RCP4.5 despite not doing what IPCC says we need to do to reach this. This is great news.

From my current understanding, that's not the case, is it?

Better put it all in your mattress then. Or crypto.

People have been saying "the markets are fundamentally changed and investing is dumb" for ages. Japan has been the single example people point to over and over and over. Meanwhile, other people are looking at 400% returns over several decades.
Gatsby is a great idea, with a questionable execution. Being able to build your entire site with React, make all of it statically rendered, and then opt into interactive/dynamic parts as needed is really great. Pulling in data sources at build time can be excellent. Overall I like the ideas behind Gatsby a lot.

But with real websites, I struggled to get Gatsby to be performant both at build and runtime. Gatsby really wants to preload other pages on your site in an attempt to speed things up, and you can't opt out of it. Whether this preloading is a benefit is a real mixed bag, and I have found myself spending a lot of time tweaking things to try and make it a net plus across the site. Mostly with bad results. gatsby-plugin-no-javascript can really improve things here a lot. It allows you to opt into JS only on pages that really need it, kill off the preloading entirely, and gain more control over the end result of your site. It's very strange that to get something like Gatsby in the ballpark you want you need to strip out JS, but well, it's true.

gatsby-plugin-no-javascript is not a perfect solution. It's too coarse. But I have found overall it can be a net positive. What I really want is the ability to say "this part of the page/site/whatever is truly static, please don't rehydrate it at runtime".

Gatsby's plugin system is nice. I like being able to handle things like robots.txt, sitemaps, favicons in a well defined, easily managed part of my app. The downside being you gotta accept what the plugin gives you. For example the favicon plugin generates favicons that are over 30kb. In my case, the favicon is often larger than the entire rest of the page combined. So I still find even here Gatsby is a good idea with questionable execution at times.

Gatsby has strict caching requirements -- https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/caching/ -- and if you can't meet them, your site will have subtle bugs. This means Gatsby is not compatible with Github Pages, and is a major downside to Gatsby.

This article spent a long time complaining about MDX. I agree, I think MDX is quite bad. But of the 4 complex Gatsby sites I have built, none of them used MDX. I don't think it's fair to conflate MDX's short comings with Gatsby.

I'm currently playing with Svelte's Sapper. It might possibly become what I always wished Gatsby was.
I don't and I won't but I'm still looking to point out its shortcomings whenever it comes up.

Staying silent is as good as encouraging the echo chamber outright.

Worth noting that while it's the largest fine from the German regulator, it's only the fourth highest across Europe. The UK's ICO have issued fines of ~€205m and ~€110m to British Airways and Marriott Intl. respectively, while France's CNIL have fined Google €50m. H&M were only fined ~€35m.

I don't trust developers to designate things as stable.
That's a bit exaggerated I think , you would get just "One Side Store" Per country or Region.

That would be such a big victory.

Personally I would not complain about the bureaucratic overhead.

Agree- but having the time and inclination to put serious consideration into something novel doesn't mean they have the time and inclination to put serious consideration into everything novel. It's a risk. Make it an "also" not an "instead of."
I wont care (unless im curious enough to explore it), if they want to write a fix themselves they can do it. And if they write a fix, I wont care about it's quality, perfection or grandiosity… and I won't assume that they do either.

I don't agree because I'm not making an assumption for others motivations of writing software (or submitting bug reports), nor do I want to.

If you and the author want to assume that these are the only motivations can exist in open source software, then that's on you both, I don't have to assume such things.

You don't need to lecture me about Sony, seeing as I was named as a defendant in that lawsuit :-)

I never said the games industry are the good guys. Certainly not Sony.

I was comparing UM to EMU in terms of size, not cost, but this is still illustrative. Treating the two schools as equal understates cost, as the per student average is higher.

Also, did you "forget" about people without degrees again? They live in the same places, they're also affected by the high cost living, but the ROI of a college degree doesn't help them at all. It's a red herring. As with so much in this discussion, it obscures reality instead of illuminating it.
I guess they don't have European/Asian staff, because they were pretty slow to report the outage.
Extended work from home finally pushed me to get diagnosed (ASS + ADHD).

I'm now on 2x 10mg methylphenidate (ritalin). It has definitely helped, but after a few weeks I now feel habituated (is that the right word?). Unless something is on fire or past deadline I'm back to getting no work done. I do notice positive effects when combined with (too much) caffeine, but ideally I want to quit soft drinks (and I don't like coffee).

I think I will ask my gp to switch to extended release. I hope he's willing to help me find something that works best for me.

As a sidenote, I do with people could be clearer when describing their medication. Just say the active ingredient, dosage, and frequency. Brand names can differ in different countries.

For reference:

- Ritalin, Concerta = Methylphenidate

- Adderall = Amphetamine

- Dexedrine = Dextroamphetamine

- Vyvanse = Lisdexamfetamine
Not a channel, but talks by David Beazley on Python topics are gems. High insight density. The presentation are often 60+ pages, and you can spend hours playing with each concept in every 'slide'. His talks are rabbit holes.

Raymond Hettinger tweets snippets of code that are delicious. His talks are really useful, too. Specifically, the one entitled 'Beyond PEP8' which focuses you on the impact you can have by zooming out of details and concentrate on good design.

This is something I've been using. I write code that uses a yet to be API, and ask myself and colleagues if it makes sense for them to use it.

For example, I'm writing a Python wrapper for MinIO's admin command line interfaces 'mc' and 'minio' which the Python client lacks. Put up the docs first at https://big-mama-tech.gitlab.io/bmc and asked colleagues and the MinIO folks if it's acceptable/useful before really going for parity.

It isn't that easy. If your project is very high quality and you let others take over, you'll be forgotten in a couple of years and others take the credit. Often without doing much except responding to rude bug reports like a trained hotel receptionist.

But that is frequently the real goal of those who drive out high performers.
I feel the same way about this issue (the chat and the photo) and the response by Troy just feels... abysmal.

He starts out by saying:

"The photo, however, is the one most consistent with others I saw on Grindr during this exercise."
and then continues to agree with the following statement:
"... you didn't choose this pose by looking at typical Grindr profile photos."
To expand on this, Pirsig tears apart "just" as a completely useless word which reaffirms the speaker's belief but also trivializes the listener's inability to understand. "just" comes from ancient Latin "ius" and it means "I swear" or "I believe". When somebody says "I was just doing something", they are swearing a light oath that they were doing something.

Back in context, what the parent is saying is that the grandparent provided a "just-so" story: The parent finds it easy to believe that history happened in a way which neatly lines up with the story that they are telling. Did earlier humans know about perspective? Grandparent believes that it's obvious.
I don’t think OP’s post was in good faith but I actually do think this is an interesting discussion! A lot of conspiracy theory and white supremacism thrives in places like private WhatsApp groups. I don’t think that means we have to remove all privacy but it is interesting to consider the trade offs involved.
I've met enough of them to know they are no-moral types. The kinds of people they hire are usually the guys taking the output of the homebrew community and building low-effort piracy tools on top. Either that, or folks just desperate to make money.
Another problem is that movies with high average rating can also be really generic. A lot of my favorites are controversial, you either love them or hate them: Lost in Translation, The Lighthouse, even Frances Ha to some extent.

By sorting on average you miss the most unique.
That was actually a really interesting take on "leftism" as a group, vs the usual American Democrat vs Republican dichotomy:

"Oversocialized types who try to satisfy their drive for power by imposing their morality on everyone have certainly been around for a long time. But we THINK that the decisive role played by feelings of inferiority, low self-esteem, powerlessness, identification with victims by people who are not themselves victims, is a peculiarity of modern leftism."
I’m not sure Apple cares much about the market in India and would pull out of India before opening up the App Store. This won’t be popular.

I know plenty of my Indian colleagues who buy and bring home Apple devices for their friends and family. People will just start smuggling the devices in if they have to.
I fucking love Epic’s attempt at precedent here!

Fuck whatever contract you signed, actively breach that contract, claim some faux-high-ground, while you’re completely fucking over the people who actually use your rickety-ass malware-as-a-service “app store”...
They will be forced to eventually. But from a technical/security standpoint it’s not at all hard for them to do. They use PKI for all apps and from the security standpoint, it’s a matter of adding another certificate to the trust chain. Obviously there are many UI considerations, but I’m just saying this doesn’t require some crazy core/kernel engineering revamp of iOS.

If someone makes something novel, that can attract attention, sure.

But if you're initiating a communication (e.g. applying for a job), it's polite to communicate clearly and respectfully.

I think making something like this for fun is neat! +1 for sharing it, too. But, it'd still be a poor substitute for a plain-old resume & cover letter.

What is their aim by having an alternate app store? Maybe make the manufacturers install it by default as a system app with all the permissions enabled by default? It'd be pretty easy to have a control over what people are seeing or using if so. It's just guess work but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the idea.

Thank you; awful title.
I think most people forget that when you (or anyone) puts something out there in the public domain, there is no obligation / entitlement on either sides.

The user is not obliged to make a payment to the creator, nor is the creator obliged to respond to every need (question/bug report/contribution)

Any warranty or service request must come with some form of contract between the user and creator.

We as a community must help in people understand this. Open source is not a contract. No one is entitled to anything.
Venture Outcomes Are Even More Skewed Than You Think
Entirely disagree. This is not how a project is transformed but what a project is...

Having gone through this with my fam, given that you seem to have reactions to every med, have you considered it may be autism or aspurgers? ADHD and autism are often seen together, and reactions to other meds also seems to be fairly common.
I just wanted to throw that out there because this realization that it's not just ADHD, not just anxiety, etc has changed our life dramatically... and there are meds that can help with this (on top of some dietary changes).

Anyway, good luck!
I have seen lots of complaints from astronomers about Starlink interfering with optical observations but cannot remember hearing about radioastronomy being affected.

On the other hand - if it is up there, it sure can reflect radiosignals from Earth back again.

Has anyone heard about Starlink and the radioastronomy community?
I think you are dismissing another avenue you could take (even if I doubt it would be successful): bill them or send them an invoice.

- bill for your time at a reasonable (previously established), rate. This is if you want to get your stuff back.
- send an invoice for the missing luggage (itemized even). This is for the case where you don’t care about the stuff and just want to be compensated.

If I screwed over a company, they wouldn’t hesitate to bill me. I wish we as consumers would do the same instead of freely spending our time.

Mostly, but not entirely. While libraries may acquire multiple copies of popular materials that have a very short shelf life, there are many circumstances when they will maintain a copy over an extended period. The shelf life also varies considerably according to the type of book. While genre fiction may only be around for a couple of years, non-fiction seems to stick around for a decade or more.

LXD works fine on WSL2 as unlike WSL1 you're now getting a full Linux kernel.

The main issue left is that WSL2 doesn't start your normal init system and so makes it harder to run a daemon... You end up having to manually start it every time which is a bit annoying.

But my understanding is that Microsoft is actively working on this and that we should have the normal init system run in some way in the near future.
The thing about Torvalds for me is how long and explanatory his negative reactions were. He wouldn't just blow-up, he would explain in an abrasive manner exactly why he thought discussing this thing was a waste of his time. It was obviously a tactic (if subconscious) to get people to hesitate before proposing something he would think was obviously silly. I think it probably worked; the criticism of his responses were that they were unnecessarily personal and hurtful, not that they were wrong.

I can also see why he backed away from it. If you're going to hurt people's feelings, best to do it through intermediaries so you don't get stained.

There are 193 countries (footnote[0]), so that might mean 193 app stores, but then some countries might delegate the power to require their own app store to their own regions/"states".

It would be pretty easy for them to convince themselves that collecting this data would be helpful for loss-prevention, keeping quotas up, whatever. It doesn’t even have to be true.

I have several ThinkPads, and think this is great news, BUT...

I wish they'd get behind just one distribution. They're selling some models (laptop and desktop) with Fedora, some with Ubuntu. Focus on the one distribution. Get that polished, then consider selling with other distributions further down the line. Don't offer several when just starting to sell Linux machines.

Dell only does Ubuntu, last I checked. System76 has Pop!

If one distribution here fails to meet the customer's expectation, they'll inevitably paint a broad brush saying Lenovo's Linux support is sub par.

> Game modding is often brought up as another use case, but straight piracy often requires additional effort over just modding games for technical reasons (you need to bypass game authentication and/or redirect all file access, not just the modded bits), so I don't buy that argument.

Yet once you disable signature checks in your OS, it could be used by the user for any purpose, no? Isn't that the main point of rooting your device, having ability to do whatever.

Then it comes to where you draw a line. If you allow me to run any program w/o checks, I can install RetroArch for emulation, or a save manager to save me from NSO tax, so I can backup my saves without paying a monthly fee. If you allow me to run kernel extensions, I can do stuff like overclocking or use my xbox gamepad with nintendo console, and if you unlock the bootloader, I can boot into Android.

Once you unlock all those capabilities to a point where I can boot any OS, you'd essentially turn a purpose-built device to a general-purpose computer, and building general purpose computers is not a crime (yet? :). I don't see PC makers or Microsoft being accused of enabling piracy, yet their platforms have the same freedoms.
In this case the german trauma from the stasi led to a privacy state that has allowed an inhumane terrorist political movement to grow unchecked within the security services and society in general.

If low-end wages double and home prices double, the ratio remains the same but the poor person is still falling behind due to fixed expenses. You'd need disposable income to double for the effect to be neutral (probably a bit more because even poor people deserve a bit of indulgence now and then). As it is, poor people are more sensitive to housing inflation. Even if wages and home prices move up in lockstep (which they haven't) they'll take more years to save up enough for a down payment. That's why so many remain permanent renters, denied the equity and tax advantages of home ownership and putting them at even further disadvantage.

So yes, the point about inequality damn well is relevant. Anyone who wants to pretend they know about statistics should know that distributions matter as much as averages and medians.
