I would sympathize with the underdog too. Thats not the problem. The problem is that we collectively support "the wrong" way to resolve such problems. Wrong as in it doesn't solve anything but a specific incident. We know nothing really changes and next week we have another similar incident. And we also know that 99+% of similar incidents never get resolved because they could not reach the virality needed. This is some kind of mob internet justice that just doesn't work at scale and we should not be participating here this platform is for news.
Interesting. How does Rosetta deal with apps with AVX then?

I honestly don't understand their ethical boundaries. What makes it more unethical to let it live (at least in captivity) and then kill it off at some point, than removing it in fetus form?

You might argue, that keeping a being in captivity is unethical. Well, so is genetically experimenting with and then killing off a fetus. The only reason they feel it's ethical in the first place is obviously some sort of "the good that will come to the world from this knowledge is much more than the damage done to this fetus". But that same rationale an be said of letting it be born?

One might argue that if they would let it live to a certain point would at least give us some real-world knowledge of the ramifications of genetic editing.

Exactly this, I have no interest in starting and running a billion dollar company (assuming it was something I was able to do), the stress involved must be incredible and the odds of success, tiny. I have a small saas company that nets me a little over a 1k / month and has done so for the last 5 years. The only work I have to do is send an invoice each month. So maybe an hour of work per year. I wish I had 5 or 6 of these and I would just live and do whatever I felt like each day.
Can you not just add an IPv6 entry for it in your hosts file, e.g., ::1? That would work in Linux and seems like a much less nuclear option than disabling ipv6 all together, but admittedly I've never worked with ipv6 networking on Macs.

Last time I played with a Mac they also had the BSD `ipfw` command for kernel packet filtering [1]. Could try something there if it still exists.

Keeping with previous naming schemes it'll either be some kind of M1X or an "M2".

Hate to be cynical but here's to hoping it's not to destroy evidence.
I spent roughly 1999-2015 trying mightily to get off Windows and become Linux only. I finally decided that the Linux desktop was never going to solve its feature and compatibility shortcomings to make that possible. I much prefer Linux as a development environment, but for anything related to office productivity, compatibility issues force me to be on Windows so much that it's not worth the effort to switch to Linux for the few things that I could do there. I could rant about lost opportunities, but that's already been done many times by others.

> It pissed me off enough where I did give it a full go on Linux with Gimp Shop and some other alternative open source alternatives, but it just wasn't the same - which really bummed me out.

Is Gimp Shop still a thing?

Wikipedia says the stable release is from 2006.

Going to https://www.gimpshop.com/ leads you to the official gimp site when you try to download it.

It kind of looks like maybe it's a marketing site for gimp now?

I was one of those people who moved from Photoshop to gimp and for the longest time I thought gimp was really bad but after customizing a few hotkeys and setting up some pre-made scripts and brushes it's pretty decent. At least for casually making YouTube thumbnails and things like that.

Some design decisions still leave me baffled tho, like not having a default bind to merge a layer down or not being able to easily center things relative to objects in an intuitive and graphical way (ie. dragging something until it snaps in place while seeing some temporary guide lines overlay near where it's snapped and some basic pixel measurements near it).

In OO systems, we often talk about "Simple Objects & Complex Interactions" v/s "Complex Objects & Simple Interactions".

In my experience, being at either extreme becomes counter-productive.

To me, it comes down to finding the "happy middle" for your project.

Monolith v/s Micro-services/Serverless are similar. Neither extreme is productive. There exists a happy middle depending on the situation.
Its not that "Wayland is not ready" and more "NVidia does not care". Wayland works on all Free drivers.

Thanks for the reply. It's more than I expected (even if the UI and the lack of interactivity inside the browser are still a problem for me).

Looking forward to experiencing it in practice someday. Maybe Emacs will finally migrate off Debbugs.

Because grammatically (then or now), that part of the sentence doesn't limit the independent clause--"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

If the first amendment said, "A well read electorate, being necessary to a free state, the right the people to free speech, shall not be infringed," would you say it only covered political speech?

Practically, I don't see how it makes any difference. Handguns are used by every single armed forces in the world. Any militia would need them anyway. If I can't own a handgun, how could I serve in a militia?
Both sides -- the ones that arise naturally from winner takes all voting systems -- are stuck. If they are less partisan than the opposing side, they risk losing ground. If current partisanness trends continue progress is stopped and potential sympathetic voters are turned off of your platform.

There will be winners who can navigate the hyperpartisan environment (or even thrive in the environment) and losers who cannot or who do not have enough of a grasp of the situation to make the correct decision. An outside observer can determine how fast two bodies are moving away from each other but, from the perspective of the moving body, it can be a lot less clear who is moving and what the relative speeds are.
Surely Arch is somewhere in the middle, with things like Gentoo, Nix, Guix, LFS (in increasing order of complexity, perhaps) &c. as the opposing end from Ubuntu/Mint.
It's not. The limit is how fast you can switch transistors. Electrons can go a pretty long distance inside a clock cycle, and waiting multiple clock cycles for signals to go from core to core is normal and easy.

I mean we've collectively decided that we do not care about the experience of mice and rats as we kill and perform all kinds of experiments on them in the lab, not to mention the meat industry. I'm not anti-meat or anything, just pointing out that we've chosen that certain living beings do not have the right to a good life. Why would this science experiment be treated differently?

And no, I wouldn't be opposed to human testing if there were humans who were willing to sign up for it, but it could be worrisome to take care that vulnerable people are not taken advantage of.
If you latch on to me and suck my blood, is it murder for me to remove you from my body just because you can't live without parasitically feeding off of me?
Joel said from the beginning that their goal was to kill Experts Exchange, which at the time was a scammy site that used dark patterns to lure people into paying for answers, but still popped up all the time on Google.

I've actually funded 9 unicorns in the past 8 years and work with startups at the earliest possible stage, writing checks of $1M to $5M. And I give this advice away for free, because I find those "get rich quick" guides to be totally misleading.

I'm doing YouTube mainly to directly get the things I think work for founders out to people, just to help. So, I'm with you— but you have to understand my intention for the videos is to be something very different than those millionaire books.
I would love to see a poll where this comment gets presented without context and people have to decide what group it is describing.

I have very sensitive eyes too. And this is also a problem I've had with Linux on certain systems. My desktop is nothing special. My video card is Nvidia and the main monitor is a Dell running at 75hz. Windows is fine. Every distro I've tried is not. I've checked in Linux to make sure the refresh rate is correct. I've used both the open source driver and the closed source blob for the video card. I have no idea why I don't get eye strain from Windows but I do with Linux.

If anyone knows the answer and has a solution, please let me know. I'd love to dual boot this machine.
Funding one side more than the other is not quite the same as contributing to partisanship. For example, he could be focused on funding more moderate candidates he thinks will build bridges.
I found it interesting that Wallace didn't start out racist: he became racist when he discovered it would help him win elections. Before that he was a liberal.
“Racism” is the wrong word for it because “race” is a modern concept. Certainly prejudice and xenophobia are natural and pervasive human qualities, but “race” per se doesn’t exist before 1492, so there was no “racism” just lots of particular prejudices (anti-Semitism and anti-Samaritanism, for example).

These days, Windows automatically installs firmware updates as well.

Do you have any references for this? Because that is truly scary. I've heard of isolated instances of the manufacturer-installed crapware silently trying to update the BIOS in the background, failing, and resulting in bricked machines upon the next boot, but that wasn't Microsoft's doing.

including security risks

That is BS, unless you are talking about things like user-hostile "secure" boot, which are firmly in the area of "do not want" anyway.
About 3/4 of Canada's population lives within 100 miles of their southern border with the US.
I have noticed in the last ~20 years (?) that some laws have had expiration dates.

I'm uncertain if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

On one hand it could try new things and revert them if they don't work, and prevent temporary necessities from lingering.

On the other hand, it could also be used to pass truly terrible laws under the guise of impermanence.
This is in part why I try to convince friends to stay employed. At least until they have a product and the first customer that isn’t family.

I'm a registered Democrat and I voted for Biden, but the way the left seems to be incapable of considering the option of forgiving someone is very unattractive to me.
For work I use Mac. It is where native MS office apps intersect with a unix terminal. I really think your choice of OS is down to usecase. But linux often requires much more patience than windows or mac to get started. Windows update is still terrible though!
Derek Sivers says ideas are a multiplier on execution. Zero execution with 1000x idea still is equal zero. But the right execution with the right idea is magic.
I don't agree that this is so farfetched. As noted in a sibling, Apple has released ISA extensions before. If the architecture is decoding to uops anyway the addition of x86 helper instructions may not affect the architecture much at all (or may even be implemented in microcode). Further, the comparison between Rosetta 1 and 2 may not necessarily apply, as the switch to intel was (arguably) a more substantial perf increase over POWER.
A good sanity check is "any moral theory that proves Nazism correct is probably mistaken".
Same thing happens with ZFS to be fair.
I know, but it doesn't matter for me, I care about "work" or "not work". Also, I heard that Wayland still have problems with Remote Desktop, screenshot, screen recording...
> results in amputation of the pilot's viscera and legs.

Granted, that could be an issue, but once the government contracts for production of a few thousand units such minor flaws can be addressed with a field upgrade package, barely tripling the unit cost.
That's a good observation! I have no specific fears at all, since I was wondering what sort of "experimentation" it involved.

I wonder if the drawback will be that he/she will be incredibly bored once released to the "normal" world and the slower development pace of contemporaries and may feel out of place and frustrated. It's the curse of the gifted.
>1. Swap thrashing can bring the system into a completely unresponsive state.

This can be prevented using earlyoom (which is packaged in most distros):

https://github.com/rfjakob/earlyoom

It's probably too difficult to fix the underlying design errors, e.g. fork() duplicating the process's entire address space, thus requiring overcommit and copy-on-write, but losing only one process beats losing all of them. earlyoom should be enabled by default.
I have the impression those being better off, with (somewhat) higher social status, education being better connected to the majority population find "Gypsy" to be derogatory.

But once I met a poor family referring to themselves this way, so a bit perplexed and curious I rather asked them directly if they consider themselves being Roma or Gypsy... only to get an ambiguous answer.

Edit: I met that family in the eastern Slovakia.
Such apps will use CPUID to detect that AVX is not implemented and they won't use any AVX instructions.

> aborting in some circles is the same as murder so the "ethics" is a bit blurry here

You give those circles too much credit, it's like the mythical flat-earthers. I don't know anyone who feels that way and would expect only countries like saudi arabia to have problems with abortion (though I recently learned it's also state-dependent in the USA). Probably takes some time to get the people of countries in various states of development to get used to the idea, similar to rights for black people, euthanasia, gay marriage, transgender acceptance, etc. Everyone being equal and aiming to decrease worldsuck is a process that takes time for some reason, and I don't know of a country that has moved the other direction for a significant amount of time (heck, an unexpectedly large majority of babies around the world get vaccinations nowadays) so we'll get there eventually.
Are you also morally comfortably with yourself being killed? I assume so, for the same reasons you give.

The same racist swill has been slung at nearly every minority and immigrant group.

People of Asian descent were accused of being dirty, so were black people, so were Irish and Italian immigrants, Mexicans, Indians, and of course Native Americans.

Their poverty was thrown in their face, as so was their lack of education (which was often mandated by law or other forms of discrimination).

Now in the US Irish and Italian communities have grown greatly in stature, and the slurs that were used against them are not so acceptable any more, are they?

Asians are now accused, if anything, of being far too educated and unfairly advantaged, though you still hear slurs thrown at them when talk turns to Chinatown or other Asian slums (as if any slum inhabitant, no matter what race or ethnicity, is going to afford to strut around in a freshly pressed three-piece suit).

Muslims and people from the Middle East are now getting their turn at being hated and accused of being dirty and lazy in many "civilized" countries to which they come for a better life.

Of course, one of the most well known and oppressed of groups who faced the very same accusations were Jews.

They also were called dirty, lazy, thieving, etc.. and at the same time rich, thieving, and miserly.

This kind of racist, bigoted, xenophobic libel leads straight to lynchings, pogroms, and gas chambers.
Absolutely, and its great. There's alot of people out, business as usual, 100% mask usage. 0 community cases (only import as people return to Singapore, but they are quarantined on arrival)

The only countries I would want to be in, is Singapore, Taiwan, or New Zealand. I wouldn't feel save in any other country.
Sometimes, by reading someone's first few comments, you can tell that there's nothing of substance underneath.
Yeah... this isn't about culture.

The list is so convoluted while it doesn't touch on real Windows issues at all. Wow. And it often talks about issues which have been resolved, or haven't been relevant in ages, or are not a concern for most people out there.

https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html

And some things from it are outright cringe-worthy, e.g. "Ineffectual read-only permissions semantics". Windows ACL for files/directories is 100 more powerful than what Linux offers.

Some Windows advantages are shown as shortcomings, e.g. case-insensitive filenames vs. case-sensitivity in Linux which in absolute most times just leads to confusion. In my 20+ years of using Linux I haven't found a single usecase for case sensitivity.
I agree with this. Likely scenario, IMHO.
I want to preface this with saying that, there are a significant amount of people who believe COVID-19 is not a real threat in a statistical sense to humanity. If this virus killed anyone it touched, people would behave differently. With that underlying context, i have this to say.

Most people are social creatures, they would probably find it easier (psychologically) to survive poverty, and war over isolation from others for a long period of time. I'm damn sure a large portion of even your parents generation would also not follow lock down protocols if it meant isolating from everyone. Add to that, the fact that the modern world is profoundly isolating (lack of community, always moving for better opportunity) , and a lot of people have very little support systems (monetarily or psychologically), and you take away their means of making money (a lot of people are very scared because they can't make their ends meet) and escaping from life (bars, theaters, meeting friends), you can understand why they suffer.
And if you put India over the South Pole, it covers the whole world.

File extensions are a much better way of determining filetype than "magic"; they mean that the user can actually see what type a file is. It would actually be easier to dupe Linux users into running malware than Windows users if it weren't for the execute bit.

Yes, that makes it easier to enforce for sure. But majority of the people here are also willing to do it. No one here feels like their 'rights' are taken away or that the Government made up the virus to suppress the citizens.

A US green card doesn't give you 'access to the whole of the developed world' though, it's meaningless outside of America.

DC/AZ/OR seems like an odd choice for third-tier tech hubs.

If I had to rank U.S. metro areas in terms of favorability for tech, I would do:

Tier 1: Bay Area

Tier 2: NYC, Seattle, Boston

Tier 3: Research Triangle, Pittsburg, Chicago

Tier 4: Austin, Boulder, Portland, LA/Santa Monica, Ann Arbor

Tier 5: Everywhere else.

There's some industry-specific tech support in various other cities (eg. oil in Houston, automotive in Detroit), but in terms of a general tech industry, they don't really register.
