I think I remember looking at the project page a while ago and thinking, huh! What is the relevance of this project? While it is always great to see Linux DE's/projects living on, this is just another project which sadly fragments the Linux desktop ecosystem even further. I agree, we need more Linux apps (Before electron apps take over the entire Linux DE), not distro's or DE's (checkout https://makealinux.app/). And if you are still adamant on creating a new DE, make it interoperable between other DE's. Remember https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ ?

Also, things have changed:

- KDE 5 plasma is lighter than GNOME.

- GNOME became a project with zero regards to the community. But is breaking less since the last few releases.

- You have so many "traditional DE's". XFCE, Mate, Solus DE, Cinnamon, Deepin DE.

I agree with someone who have said that none of the new GUI have made him/her/they productive. My progression for productivity through DE's has been GNOME for 10ish years, KDE 5 for 1.5, Another 1.5 years in XFCE and now I use i3wm. Looks like you focus more on functionality as you become a mature user and less on the bells and whistles.

- Moved from GNOME after using from 3.0 till 3.22 because of crashing. It is better now.

- Moved from KDE because every update on my rolling release distro was a panic attack due to the bizzilion dependencies each software depends on. Not to mention it could be a security disaster. just install Okular or Korganizer to see what I am talking about. Krita has been the only exception I have noticed.

- Window managing has been the bottleneck in XFCE, it is the best for a rolling release distribution. So now I use i3wm. I only see a gradual transition to Swaywm now since Xorg is breathing it's last few, so I will have to move from i3wm.

So I ask again, what is the point of Trinity? What is it bringing? We need to start seeing Linux as the future since big corporates are moving to Linux more. I would like to see Trinity resources going to KDE which is so much better now. But hey, that is just me.
Wow. This guy is a really strange combination of brilliant and clueless.
This is painful to read in 2020.

There is no such thing as 'socialization of your property' - this concept exists only as intellectual fantasies. There is only confiscating by a new, probably more ruthless and murderous regime.

We have entire century and a several dozen national experiment to debunk this rubbish, we know what the outcomes really are; 'Socialism' is literally the 'collapse of liberalism', we can see some of that right now with orthodox impugnment of our academic systems by certain groups to the point wherein literally the more traditional Liberals have had to come out and take full page ads in major newspapers to plead their cause for rationality and reason.
Awesome! I'll have to try this out.

I love working with Firebase, but I have serious qualms about using a Google product, in part because of Google's reputation for killing off products, and partly because I'm still a FOSS hacker at heart.

It's not a bad thing, I just dislike that I noticed it.
"Countless animal experiments are uninterpretable simply because they were poorly executed by first year graduate students. There is no other way to learn. Write them off as animals used for training if we want full accounting, but researchers' time is scarce enough as it is so asking them to publish uninterpretable results is a non-starter."

> I'm sorry but this simply isn't true. During my masters i did in vivo surgery on 30 rodents and tested how many the procedure was succesful in (10). I had to record how many the procedure was sucessful in and write this up in my methods. I'm not sure how you see keeping a record of this as something that takes a significant length of time that you wouldn't bother to record it.

In fact i'm pretty sure (at least for the UK) that keeping records like this is essential under the home office rules for animal safety in scientific procedures. These rules are there to help with the 3 R's (reduce, replace, refinement). This guidance aims to cut down on the use of animals in research or at least ensure quality experiments are being ran. If you don't measure - how can you improve?

Goulet Pens were fantastic for my fiancee.

She has lupus, so holding and writing with a ballpoint pen is agony for her and her hands on bad joint days. She can usually do okay with a gel ball roller, but one day I let her try my fountain pen and it was the least painful writing experience in her life.

She emailed the Goulet Pen company for suggestions on good pens for lupus/arthritis and got a detailed response with suggestions. They were fantastic and helped her place an order for a less expensive pen that fit her hand better to test the waters for future orders.

Their YouTube pen videos are good too.
>> > and at least one claim was ruled innacurate/misleading in court

> As said, not disproven.

Those are some impressive gymnastics. Allow me to quote the NYT from this year:

"The Steele dossier was deeply flawed. For example, it included a claim that Mr. Trump’s former lawyer Michael D. Cohen had met with a Russian intelligence officer in Prague to discuss collusion with the campaign. The report by the special counsel who took over the Russia investigation, Robert S. Mueller III, found that Mr. Cohen never traveled to Prague."

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/us/politics/igor-danchenk...

You are making assertions about the dossier that are demonstrably false and defending a document which is now rightly treated cautiously at best by most mainstream media.

But the reason I bring up the dossier now is that, despite it's salacious, unverified claims and (initially) unkown source, mainstream media outlets all felt it was perfectly reasonable to report on it. Yet, when it comes to Hunter Biden's laptop (which the FBI publicly stated they have in their possession) suddenly it would be improper to even acknowledge it's existence or the implications of its contents.

> Yes, by Republicans terrified of a compromised criminal taking over their party.

Have you always thought of Republicans as really honest and above board people, or are you only finding "a strange new respect" for them when they do something you approve of?

> There is 0 evidence any of the leaked emails are from a laptop.

Perhaps you are having trouble comprehending. Let me try one more time:

- The FBI admits they have Hunter Biden's laptop in their possession [1]

- Both the FBI and DOJ assert there is no reason to believe this is part of a Russian disinformation campaign [1]

- Hunter's lawyers asked for the laptop back from the repair shop [2]

- Recipients of some of the emails have already confirmed they came from Hunter (see interview with Tony Bobulinski)

- This is not the first time that Hunter has left a laptop somewhere [3]

- No one associated with the Bidens has ever claimed that the laptop/emails did not belong to Hunter [3]

- The Washington Post has acknowledged that this likely isn't a foreign intelligence operation [4]

Certainly there are reasons to be skeptical, and no crime by Joe Biden has been proven yet (though his son will probably go to jail for FARA violations at least). But your position is frankly untenable and strikes me as willful ignorance.

No, the name was certainly not a giveaway, at least to me. Looking at the pictures on the catalog [0] I thought it was Japanese.

Later on when the product arrived, I wished to check if I could order refills in bulk from their website. Upon visiting their website, realization dawned upon me that it’s Chinese.

And in my perspective, it’s unfair to compare Baoke to Huawei. The latter is in the news since months now, and has become synonymous with nefarious snooping activities of the Chinese, in stark contrast to the former which is a pen maker.

Actual scientist. I believe Record keeping should be kept, i'm not saying it justifies a full publication but these records should be kept. If you go on to publish then these records should be acknowledged in the publication. It can be included in appendices / extra information even if it's not in the main article.

Driving return to the workplace success with Power Platform
Yeah Firebase is a great product, especially at the start of a project. The scaling limitations are well-covered now, but it definitely solves a lot of problems developers face when starting something new.

We're hoping we can deliver that same delightful experience with just OSS tools.
The easy reason is that nobody would know that name and why click on something that doesn't strike your fancy?
Gnome 2 had "expose", though you had to run a compositor to use it.

There was a patch for a global menu but IIRC the Gtk developers blocked that feature so it never went anywhere. Does Gnome support a global menu nowadays?

Window snapping was supported as well - many window managers support that for years.

Also note that Gnome 2 allowed you to use any window manager you wanted, so even if Metacity (the default one) didn't do the trick for you, you could use some other window manager (and it wasn't uncommon for people to do that).

Good list.

Observation re list of ISAs that evolved conditional move vs ISAs that omit conditional move: MIPS, POWER, x86, SPARC all targeted high power "fat core" applications at the point where it got added. AVR, Hitachi SH, PowerPC didn't add it while being driven more by low power / embedded applications. And many ISAs continued to see wide use in the pre-cmov versions of the ISA in embedded space (eg MIPS) after the additions. (PowerPC even removed it when being modeled after POWER)
You can say "I want to run image us-docker.pkg.dev/something:v1 in my cluster with these ports exposed" instead of having to spin up VMs, place the exe there (or attach a volume with it pre-placed), then configure the firewalls for those VMs.

Yeah!

We can just 'trade our services' for one another!

But since we can't, you know, really trade 'wheat' for 'borrowed books' we can introduce some kind of monetary system - like 'social credit' or 'dollars'.

Then we someone can 'make wheat' and 'books' exchange them for money.

And it would be really fair if someone who made 'more wheat' got 'more money' from the wheat they 'traded for money'!

And then, when everyone is contributing by providing services for one another (using money as a medium of exchange because it's useful) we'll finally have real socialism!

I don't think the answer is clear at all, this specific instance is about deception. The only thing being used is the name of the project to mislead consumers without being openly fraudulent, in such a way that it damages or limits the ability of the original authors to monetize their work.

The closest analogue in FOSS is the forking or reuse of projects to intentionally cannibalize the original work - which is covered by less permissive licenses like AGPL.

Whether it's music or software isn't the point, it's about the rights of the original creator to control how the work is spread and copied, which can be a bigger deal when that impacts the ability of a creator to monetize it. Music is only substantially different than software in that it isn't maintained after creation that requires continual support payments by its consumers.

If you're in a position where you can freely distribute your work to others, you're in an incredibly privileged position to begin with.
She is portrayed quite well in the recent National Geographic series about Einstein's life, "Genius".

Well worth watching. Mileva was a talented physicist and mathematician, contributed significantly to Einstein's early success, gave him three children and Albert dumped her for his cousin.

> this is just another project which sadly fragments the Linux desktop ecosystem even further

This doesn't really fragment the desktop since any desktop application that works under X11 will work on it. Of course if said application makes assumptions about what is underneath then it might face trouble if said assumptions are not met, but that is really a problem with the application (and in practice usually workaround-able).
he didn't even post the research - he re-tweeted the research of a black academic that showed that violent protests are less successful that non-violent ones. His firing was a travesty.
They should move. Perhaps it would soften the blow if they were also told platitudes about fault and blame, but realistically (a) the problem is not going to be solved in time, and (b) the plight of a small number of people is not going to move the needle in regards to the willingness of the world to address the issue. People who still think that the damage can be averted entirely are just as deluded as people who think that sea level rise is an existential threat to human civilization.
Many people and even some mainstream outlets capitalise "Black" but deliberately avoid doing so for "white", including in a HN post within the last 24h. If they insist on making this petty distinction, I'll happily play along.
I’m not sure what you are objecting to. The section you quoted does not use the word unfair, but unequal. The linked article does not seem to be a call for socialism, but rather a series of proposals to increase growth via normal economic measures, like removing regulatory barriers to new housing, or being less hawkish on monetary policy since inflation has been consistently over-estimated.

If you are arguing that factors (like regulation, tax / fiscal / monetary policy, etc) do not affect the size of the economy or the distribution of income, I disagree.

I also think a model of the economy that consists of only wealth creators is overly simplified. If I inherit (or even buy) a house in Palo Alto and it undergoes millions of dollars of appreciation due to a growing industry nearby that I do not work in, did I create that wealth?

> you still get the python3 in PATH, not a specific one (sbang aims to use a specific interpreter)

env lets you solve that one too. You can control PATH. From the FreeBSD manpages:

#!/usr/bin/env -S -P/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin perl

And if you lack the -P flag... env controls the environment variables... So, you could extend (or replace) it like so:

#!/usr/bin/env PATH=/home/my/loc:${PATH} perl

> The -S argument to env is not POSIX

You're right. POSIX only guarantees the -i flag, and the ability to set variables. It hasn't been modified in the standard since 1991, despite other updates to the standard.

OpenBSD and Busybox only supports the crippled POSIX version. It isn't completely portable.

Versions with -S and are available on Linux, FreeBSD (also has -P), macOS (also has -P).
Oh please, it would've been extremely easy to title it "The Life of Einstein's First Wife, Mileva Marić," and thereby make it clearer she was a notable person in her own right, not for merely being Einstein's wife, to even a casual reader who didn't click through.
> Read the article more carefully.

This is unnecessarily rude. Maybe you should have written the article more carefully, or read my comment more carefully.

> newtypes are useful, but only when used in certain ways and in a weaker sense than constructive data modeling

Constructive data modelling can be an easier way to provide certain kinds of guarantees in some circumstances, perhaps. But the claim that newtype-based approaches are not type safety remains false.

So... why not use VLC since it already supports what you want? :-P

Theoretical purity aside (being an everything player, transcoder, etc instead of just an audio player) it is simple to use and lightweight enough (e.g. just opened an mp3 file and VLC's memory usage was ~25MB), at least for modern PCs.
The proposed designs are still confusing to me.

- Racial and gender equality in recruitment, compensation, and promotion.

- Better working conditions for contractors and other workers who aren’t classified as employees.

- Non-participation in human rights abuses in the US and abroad.

Some other ideas:

- Right to work remote? Without a major compensation cut?

- Limits on oncall shifts, or rules regarding extra compensation for oncall time.

- (At some companies) an approach to PIPs/firings that’s less up to the whims of asshole managers.

This article seems to be pointing at the cancellation of the ThunderX3 ARM CPU, as evidence of Nvidia's ARM purchase starting to affect things.

Not sure the time line adds up though. The ThunderX3 cancellation was prior to the public announcement of Nvidia's purchase.

There were rumours of the Nvidia+ARM negotiations for at least a few weeks before. But it seems hard to believe a major product would be cancelled based solely on rumours of a potential acquisition, before said acquisition was officially announced.
