Agreed. Check out the state of Linux support on Intel Macs that were released in and after 2016[1], it's abysmal. Once Apple started adding non-standard hardware, Linux support never caught up.

It isn't like the lack of support is Linux developers' fault. Apple doesn't provide datasheets for their hardware, and they don't cooperate with developers writing drivers for their custom hardware.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ARM SoCs that "run Linux", but that doesn't mean much because they're actually running Linux forks, and someone needs to maintain those forks, and build and release custom images for each SoC. I don't see M1 Macs diverting from that fate without significant support from Apple themselves.

And the white supremecy crowd had been quiet before then? They hadn't killed anyone or made threats or been called to "stand down and stand by?" That they hadn't been rabble-rousing across social media? That they were not evidently whipping themselves into a frenzy?

One can imagine a context where the qualities referenced aren't specific or limited to 1984. In such a case it would be perfectly apt to reference Orwell's writing style or body of ideas more globally.
Factory produced white castle burgers have been in supermarket freezers for years (and aren't much worse than the 'fresh' ones, which are themselves firmly in the realm of junk food.) Machines making food is nothing new, but it seems a lot of people are keen on 'inventing' it. Remember the pizza company that wanted to use robots to make delivery pizzas? And the results were worse than frozen Red Baron pizzas that have been around since the 70s.

There are many things to answer to here, but let me pick at least a few

> As for programming, maybe you don't care about your IP, but your company sure does.

I don't think they do. The software I write is used by workers in my company's warehouse. It's valuable because it makes their job easier. Sure, we don't give the software away, but we also don't sell it. We would lose very little if we released it for free. I know this doesn't apply to all software, but it applies to a sizable amount of it. It would be interesting to measure which fraction of time spent writing software is for projects like this, I don't know how to even begin estimating it.

> Sure you could set up a book-writing company like you could now but where would the money for those salaries come from?

Some ideas, in no particular order. Asa I said before, maybe reduces the amount of books that get written, but can't say for sure.

-Preorders. The publisher commits to only releasing a book once it has received X orders for it. GMT does this for boardgames.

-Patreon-like model, or plain subscriptions. Customers commit to paying for whatever is released, or just pay periodically and the publisher/author commits to releasing stuff that makes customers happy.

-Making nice editions: this could get very competitive, but surely a publisher who makes nice editions would still sell them. The publisher would be incentivized to pay popular authors to create books so it has more stuff to sell, even if other people could make other editions.
I do not want a "web browser" that is also a video player.

We need more "web browsers" that just browse HTML.
Frequency response is great, relatively flat over a wide range and the bass is tight without being boomy. Sound stage is quite good. Certainly better than most inexpensive headphones. However, it isn't as articulate as more expensive wired headphones, which may be a function of practical power constraints in a battery-powered device (there is a reason you need an external amplifier for some of those).

It could definitely be used for real audio work, with caveats. I think it would be similar to mixing with the venerable (and uncomfortable) Sony MDR-7506, which significantly outperforms its price range and also has a pretty flat frequency response but suffers from reduced articulation. If you are accustomed to using expensive high-impedance headphones you would notice the difference in detail but, like with the MDR-7506, it is good enough for most purposes.

tl;dr: great for casual use, even for people picky about audio quality, and quite usable for most professional purposes though not up to the same standard. That aside, very comfortable and you can use them for conference call marathons that greatly exceed the battery life of normal AirPods.
Keep in mind that due to the size of the constellation and estimated lifetime of the individual satellites, there will eventually always be dozens of satellites that are transitioning to their operating orbit.

Are gov't officials allowed to delete their official use Twitter (and any social media) accounts just like that? I would think posts should be archived or put in read only mode for posterity?
> I've only once seen an outbreak of locusts and I hope I'll never see one again, it still gives me the creeps more than a decade later. Everything covered in insects, as far as you could see.

There is a locust swarm in Things Fall Apart (a work of fiction) which is viewed as cause for celebration. The locusts cover everything and eat the crops -- but they can be harvested and eaten themselves.
No mention of power consumption...
I'm curious what the gatekeeping around letting you use Widevine or similar does. As an "approved" entity are you then technically capable of copying DRMed content? Trying to understand if that's why it's so closely guarded.
Support for enterprise-type products.

Last workplace had a storage array. Tested on Red Hat, supported on Red Hat. The same is true for lots of other things. Enterprise databases, drivers for hardware, CAD software, that sort of stuff.

Once you have it in place, you are guaranteed not to have to change it a decade. All security fixes is backported. They also vet upstream changes to minimize nasty surprises. You do pay handsomely for the privilege.

You do not know whether no one else did.

Art is showbusiness, and success is largely the result of flukes and many of the great names of history would easily have been unremarkable if it hadn't been for several fluke events.

It's entirely possible that many did such things before, but never became famous with it, and one did, and largely became so as a fluke simply because, say, an influential critic came across it by chance, and decided to write a positive piece, after which the ball was set in motion.
I mean - it's called Dark Forest, but if you will look at any documentary, even dark forest is full of life. You will hear crickets, you will hear owls, you may see fireflies.

The theory has catchy name, but even the earth's nature disproves it.
In many/most jurisdictions, "just taking kids away" is the last straw. If the situation can be remedied with support, periodic social worker visits, and parenting classes, everyone prefers that outcome.

And then the second preferred outcome is finding a caregiver in the extended family.

A distant third is a foster care placement.
Until you need to substitute ingredients, you use a different type or rangetop, the pan metal or thickness is different, or something else changes. This was a perfect analogy. People can follow the recipe of assemling various frameworks and toolkits to create software, but they will eventually encounter difficulty.

You may not need to understand molecular differences, but knowing hows fats, proteins, and carbs work, along with how to substitute ingredients, and different theories of cooking all help to actually understand why you can cook until mysteriously things don't work the same as yesterday.
Not the OP, and I have no doubt they had plans to "expand" RHEL options

I also have no doubts they wanted to see how much bad PR the announcment made before figuring out that those expanded options where

It was from be beginning a Monetary Grab, Redhat did a global scream test to see how much they would have to give away to take the screams down to a dull roar and stop the bleeding just enough to not lose any market share

They have landed on 16 as the magic number for now, but like the OP I have visions of Darth Vader saying “I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.” while wearing a RedHat

It does not fill me with confidence that I should make use of that 16 server license...

Depends on what countries you have in mind, but it's pretty much the same elsewhere. Messenger, Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Viber, Discord, Telegram, Signal... You just need to have all of them and this seems like a very elegant solution for having all your messages in one place.

This and sibling comments make good points about improvements it has made. I edited my comment to be less universally judgemental.

My experience is based on a pretty generic unknown low drama instance, that doesn't really block or get blocked, instead relying on users to mute/block/instance block themselves per-account. So initially I saw a lot of ugly things, the usual culture war topics discussed without nuance or compassion, bots and spam, etc.

> When the public doesn’t trust the food they are playing dice with every mouthful of food. That’s just not acceptable.

The public do trust lettuce. The current systems work well and billions of people trust their lives to it, with good results. Exceptionally few people are afraid of eating regular store bought lettuce.

Nobody is talking about "playing games" so I have no idea what you're on about there. I never suggested that food production be deregulated, that would be insanity.
It still tells you that the effect cannot be huge, otherwise it would have shown up here too.
Great looking UI for what seems really new but just a few asks:

2. the add profile pic feature just isn't working at all for me

3. There should be a username system where you can set custom usernames
FYI you still cannot get a full native experience with Chrome and Firefox, due to plugins that have not been ported.

For example Chrome ships with an x64 version of Widevine, a plugin that is required to watch live streams on YouTube TV (and perhaps other services with live TV). Currently, YouTube TV does not work natively in Chrome or Firefox.

All that said, it will work fine if you run Rosetta -- the x64 decoder will run in Rosetta.
It's more simple than that even, grains are simply more portable and last longer. Those two properties are the major reasons they are the staples of our diets. There's little sense in growing and processing them on site at food distribution centers. Growing and storing them within a reasonable distance of food distribution facilities is sufficient for sustainable reliance on grains.

I believe rice can be stored safely for years given the right conditions. There are no sustainable conditions under which leafy greens can be stored for as long as rice.
This reminds me of Swift's string formatting syntax:

Which I always quite liked. I found myself missing this when I moved on to Rust and Go.
The great thing about Linux is that almost every driver is included with the kernel itself, so you don't need to worry about installing drivers. Of course, there are vendors who don't like to cooperate with Linux developers, and release kernel-tainting drivers outside of the mainline kernel.
It's not a hack or broken. The formatting language existed before f-strings and is somewhat a separate issue.

I'm not sure I expect it to handle every Unicode nuance either, when there are modules in the stdlib for that.
You could recreate the brand and the product, and you still won’t have millions of users playing it. They bought the user base, too.
My understanding is this.

Europe is very far north compared to other countries. Half of people in Canada leave as close or closer to equator than Croatia, which in Europe is thought as hot climate.

But that doesn't change the fact that for most of the Europe there is very little sunlight during winter and that europeans had to adapt to it by being more resistant to low amounts of sunlinght.

See, we are already predisposed to sitting at home for extended periods of time.

That is already a sign that this project is not going to go anywhere. Anyone who wants to build a server or make this part of their seedbox is going to use Linux or one of the BSDs.

It's not technically true, but there is a lot of truth in it.

There are lists of recommended treatments, and there are many restrictions on prescription of medications, expensive ones in particular.

At a national level, NICE[0] (or SMC[1] in Scotland) decide what medicines the NHS will pay for, and for what conditions. They determine what medications are licensed for different treatments. They also set guidance on what treatments should be used for different conditions, what the 1st line, 2nd line, 3rd line treatments should be, and what treatments they think should not be used.

At a regional level, there are "formulary" groups, which take the national guidance, and make some tweaks - for example, for monetary reasons, they often increase the restrictions on expensive medications, making them harder to obtain. An example of those restrictions might be that the patient has to have been suffering for longer, the impact of the condition has to be more severe, or the patient must have tried several other (cheaper) medications first.

For expensive medications, it's often not as simple as a consultant saying "I want my patient to have this" - at a regional or hospital level, there are quotas/limits on how many patients per year will be treated with sich expensive medications, and there are comittees that meet regularly to decide who is worthy.

Now, if we put aside those expensive medications for moment: yes, technically consultants are free to use their experience, knowledge and judgement, and prescribe what they see fit (even unlicensed drugs) - but in reality, within the NHS it is uncommon to prescribe outwith the regional formulary guidance, or/and outwith licensed medication uses. There are a number of reasons for this:

1. Consultants take on individual liability when they prescribe unlicensed medicines, and individual hospitals fear legal risk too

2. Consultants will have their balls broken by their department head when they prescribe expensive medications - dept heads have budget responsibility, and in turn they will have their balls broken by the board

3. Consultants regularly meet with others from their department to discuss difficult/unusual cases, and have to justify their decisions to the panel

4. Perhaps it's the workload, but (IME) NHS consultants often have outdated knowledge. I swear some have never so much as read a journal article since they left medical school 30 years previous :( Again IME, private consultants seem to be much more confident to think out of the box with treatments; perhaps it's the commercial competition?

Strictly speaking, Widevine isn't a standard - the web standards tracks really don't allow for it. Hell, they couldn't even agree on a single baseline video standard. The only part of web standards that even covers DRM is EME, which just specifies a way for JavaScript to negotiate content decryption with a DRM plugin. It specifies no standard DRM, and it can't do that, because DRM by it's very nature is not standardizable - or, more specifically, standardized DRM is ineffective. You can totally write video DRM in JavaScript using Media Source Extensions. You'll just have no actual technical control over where the video goes after it's been decrypted; that's why they want compiled binaries that have to be distributed as browser plugins.

I am currently working in tech and am considering a switch to law, so I'd be curious to hear some experiences of those who made the opposite switch. What has surprised you? What do you miss about the legal profession? What is better in tech than in law?
Yes, and anyone who has written a "one-liner" at the command line is familiar with it. Wouldn't say it is a big problem.
Polish constitution has plenty of checks and balances. For example we had fairly well functioning constitutional tribunal. The difference is political culture. Especially the judicial branch of USA withstood the attack from Trump beautifully, but they were no more or less protected than Polish courts are. Polish culture is compromised by the communist mindset.

> Customer support is a cost center

For us, great customer support is one of our stronger sales arguments. In fact we've not had to push hard on sales due to our customers calling former colleagues who moved to a competitor to tell them "you have got to get this software". Having great support has been key to this experience.

Most of our support people have been recruited from our customers, so they know not just our software well but the processes and regulations around it, allowing them to quickly understand the issue at hand and offer relevant help.

So while it might look like a cost center on paper, I'm quite certain it's a massive net gain overall.

Of course as you say, we work hard to mitigate the cost of providing that support, like routinely looking at implementing changes that'll reduce repeat support issues. Maybe as simple as reworking a dialog text, to adding more automation.
We aren't particularly efficient species if you look at anything that we do.

"As for the corporate dimension, I was aware that standard FedEx boxes are SSCC coded (serial shipping container code), a code that is held by FedEx and excludes other shippers from registering a box with the same dimensions"

There's at least 3 steps of bureaucracy between the president and the prosecution: Junior prosecutors->US Attorney->Attorney General->President.

He may ultimately be in charge of the prosecutions, but for him to take that much control is considered unseemly. The closest the President will generally come to deciding whether to prosecute someone is to make a policy that certain crimes will get extra attention or no attention. Alternatively, he can fire the US Attorney.

Geez into High Pressure Aeroponics if the water efficiency thing interests you. Its also somewhat easier to keep clean as you only feed the plants the water they can consume (literally a single droplet of condensation in your root chambers DTW outlet means your feeding too much). On the downside the setup is hard as it gets, 145+psi water system, impinge nozzles with .4mm diameter outlets (means your nutes gotta be particulate free). But the efficiency of it is the ultimate in closed environment growth.

For bugs in a greenhouse the least chemical method i've found is dumping c02. Can only use it in closed/controlled spaces tho. Blanket room in c02 for 12 hrs...literally just chokes any bugs. Plants are fine.
