OK I bite in which operating system would I just know where Python is installed?

Moreover, most of the things you are saying are wrong.
1. Any linux distribution who follows the FHS (pretty much all the big ones) has a /bin directory. It doesn't contain the python usually though.
2. bin is also not necessarily read-only (I'm not sure where it is). Maybe you should have a look at the FHS?
3. not sure what you mean by symlinking /usr and /ro you can certainly symlink to /usr to /ro, but not sure what you are trying to achieve
4. UTF-8 usernames are certainly possible on Linux distributions that have full UTF-8 support (which I imagine are again most).

Your proposal of just fixing the "historical baggage" for some claimed ease of use (I still claim that directory naming is really at the bottom of the list for changes to improve ease of use. And linux has changes that are required to improve ease of use), would actually break lots of peoples work flow for questionable gain.

Moreover, if directory naming is important to someone, they can use Gobolinux, so it's not like you have to follow the old "historical baggage".
> You're implicitly accepting the frame that copyright is an inherent right that should be granted, rather than a privilege extended to copyright holders on public policy grounds.

I didn’t make a judgement on this but You’re right that copyright is granted by society but so are many rights, e.g. the idea that an individual can own land.

Copyright exists because we live in a capitalist society and we want creators of intellectual property to partake in this economic system. Without copyright, author would not be a profession. That is the basic reason. Everything else are trade-offs and implementation details but we should remember why copyright exists in the first place.
I bet this uses DLSS to get the resolution. I see no one talking about it but why push a high bitrate when you can just upscale with AI.
All of the Apple rumors from 'reliable' sources recently have pointed to the first round of hardware being specifically a) intentionally expensive and b) a developer kit, not a consumer product. While $3k and a pair of 8k displays seems a bit extreme, it would fit the current narrative.
Regarding nutrition: this view is great until you define "science" as whatever advice your doctor gives you.

The problem is that there have been plenty of studies long before these more enlightened times we live in, which demonstrated that saturated animal fats, eggs, salt, and red meat are good for you, whereas high-grain and starch diets, seed oils, sugar, and hydrogenated fats are bad for you.

And what happened? These studies went against the FDA guidelines and the nutritional training of an entire generations of MDs, and thus were ignored and ridiculed. This resulted in a massive increase in type-2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.

We like to think that the medical experts we rely upon follow the science. They don't. To this day, the majority of MDs in the US follow the 60 year old guidelines that killed so many people prematurely. Despite the resounding preponderance of the evidence.

And it doesn't end there. The same is true for related areas like the whole cholesterol debacle that ignores HDL/LDL ratios, and especially ignores blood calcium levels. Even when they know better, i.e., when the research shows that high cholesterol in a healthy ratio with low to non-existent blood calcium levels is perfectly healthy and does not need treatment, they will still prescribe statins, or tell such patients to cut out red meat and eggs. This is not following the science, even while acknowledging that the patient is already healthy.

The same story with carnivore diets and diabetes. Even when the tests show that the patient has a vastly improved blood glucose count on a carnivore diet, i.e., they are getting healthier, and the doctor sees it and admits it, and he is aware of research which found the same correlation, he will still insist that they need to go back to eating a predominantly grain-based diet, because his training, and the peer pressure from his colleagues are overriding the science.

Because of this, it is up to you to find doctors who actually follow the science. They are out there. You just have to look for them.
I lived down the street from the original location for 7 years and because it was on my way to the Q, I passed it at least twice a day, frequented it countless times, and used to chat with the owners. I remember when it opened up in the neighborhood and being so proud of their growth, so this is sad to see. I watched them expand, even after I left New York (I now live down the street from the similar Salt & Straw in Seattle, albeit S&S seems to have managed their growth better), and was really rooting for them. What a shame.
Look forward to learn more about company, Mattheus.
That's the sort of PoC that should be PGP encrypted to the Signal authors instead of publicly posted. Iran will have a field day with it being posted like this.

Except, of course, that posting public keys is too 1990s for him https://moxie.org/2015/02/24/gpg-and-me.html (which contains some good arguments but offers no solutions, so whatcha gonna do, post a phone number and trust the signal servers to give you the right public key? That's better than self-published public keys? For an anarchist? Is it smart to post phone numbers publicly anyway, see e.g. SS7?) Perhaps just ignore this paragraph, I'm just a confused person seeing mixed signals.

I would disagree regarding the metal box. Sure, it can cause short circuits, but that’s relatively easy to guard against with proper insulation. Even if shorts do occur, it will blow a fuse or trip the overcurrent protection. Even if it doesn’t, it won’t provide a supply of combustible material to sustain a fire for long enough to ignite the nearby batteries.

Galvi n is the guy who rushed to shut down trading of $GME when the hedge funds were initially cornered. Seems like a shill owned by hedge funds and big business. Not exactly surprised to see him accused of other unethical behavior.
$3k sounds like a reasonable price point to me.
Since they do mention eye-tracking they can heavily exploit foveated rendering which will make the resolution extremely high at the exact point where your eyes are looking and much lower in the outer regions of your vision. This is practically unnoticeable (if done right) and allows for much more interesting performance optimizations. Full 2x8K in 90Hz is impossible otherwise.
I'm confused by people saying that they would use VR for work. My head hurts after one or maybe two hours of using it, and if I would work whole day in it?... ugh.
I'd be fine with making the mouse cartoon available for people who want to study/ experience cartoon history but not showing it unedited on a streaming service where most people who watch it are kids.
Forgot one other important distinction: if we wanted to add a new expression subtype that can behave like one of the existing types for existing operations, that is not possible with the discriminated union variant. Say we wanted to add an SmallAddition, that stores its two numbers as bytes, but converts them to int when needed. We could add this without modifying any code in the visitors in the C# version (well, technically we may have a problem because we accessed the fields directly, but that's inconsequential). In the pseudo-Haskell version, we would need to modify all 6 evaluation functions just to handle the new Expression subtype.
I wonder if a little bit of dithering would be enough to compensate for that at that high a resolution. The actual area of our eyes that can resolve colour is quite small, so it might work.
So was the majority of both parties and most of the mass media.
Why not? Someone thought it might be an interesting challenge, and so they did.
Fair enough, you have a good point. By, "you" I mean a tech person who is supportive of Signal action and is willing to setup a proxy without realizing that this is circumventing another country's law.

I agree I could have said it more clearly and less emotionally.

The fact that you mentioned the particle physics field is hilarious, because one of the most influential scientific journalists to start attacking the lipid hypothesis was Gary Taubes. Taubes found the lipid story in the course of investigating the "bad science and fraud" that was present in the string theory community within physics. A physicist he was interviewing told Taubes:
"If you think the string theory science is terrible, just wait until you see human nutritional science." This prompted a deeper conversation, and when Taubes started digging, he was shocked enough by what he found to write what turned out to be the first of several books on the topic.
The problem I have been struggling with is that I just don't like most meat products. I think overall I have mentally since I was a child slowly create more and more disdain for meat eating and that has resulted in a physical negative reaction when I taste meat. Even just seeing meat especially in the raw form grosses me out now.

Unfortunately I have found being mostly vegetarian actually hasn't greatly helped with my weight as I find there are still many fatty options that don't involve meats.

I would be happy with how I eat, if it weren't for the fact that it can be hard to get certain things like high proteins from veggies. It's hard to match the efficiencies from a quick chicken and rice meal as an example.
I don't disagree, but my point is, they are not even free-ish. That's fine. I have no problem paying $5/mo. for access to content like this. I mean, one of these books would cost me $30. That's 6 months worth of Medium access.

A big part of the reason that nothing ever changes is because it isn't profitable for things to change, at least not when some moneyed interests can make a profit doing things like predatory lending and others get to have cheap employees.

In other words, the lack of a social safety net isn't just some accident that citizens blundered into. It was engineered and continues to be advanced by the people who make money from it.
McKinsey would think it is a badge of honor because it means they were competent and their advice made difference significant enough from pure BUSINESS point of view.
I wonder if the bulk of the resolution is to handle this pass through video in a fixed pipeline. Programmable rendering could be at a much lower resolution and scaled up in hardware.
I try to install the VS Code Rust plugin every couple of months. Every time, it doesn't work. It does literally nothing. No syntax highlighting, no tab complete, nothing. I look up the issue and there's always some excuse of why it happens to be broken right this second. "The next Rust release will fix it" or whatever.

I've given up and I've been using the IntelliJ Rust plugin, which just works.

I don't know what the Rust Analyzer and RLS teams are doing wrong, maybe it's insufficient QA or something, but it's a huge turnoff when after repeated attempts over a year I've experienced nothing but failure after failure.
You're looking for a Hololens 2 like device, maybe HL3 will get there. HL2 is quite good imho, I've browsed HN while drinking coffee on the balcony. It occludes based on the environment (i.e. you can't see objects through walls)

To get this you need outward facing cameras, which people will balk at for privacy.
You may be a lean mass hyperresponder - check out Dave Feldman's work on the topic at https://cholesterolcode.com/. Doctors can be pretty jumpy about cholesterol numbers and I'd hate to see you take advice which may be good for the general population but bad for you at face value.
Some Advice:

First, the good news. You are 23 and basically an entry level employee with nowhere to go but up, even if up is in a completely different career than what you do now. You are the career equivalent of a new born and people will understand that you might not have picked your life's passion yet.

Second, pull yourself together and drop the ageist crap. If you actually think you will be considered "old" in your early 30s for any career other than professional athlete you are deluding yourself. Even US special forces will admit fresh faced recruits into their late 20s. In many places a "gap" year is typical and even required for high school students. G.I. Bill recipients need 3 years of service to fully qualify for benefits. You have taken four and the extra is negligible in my opinion.

Third, you have been at your current job for four years. There are no negative effects for leaving for a new position IF after securing an offer you tell your current manager in plain terms why you are leaving and what would be required to retain you. If they counter, great, if they don't you part ways on good professional terms.

Fourth, two years at a community college and finishing at a high quality university (whatever degree you seek) is likely going to be in the range of $30k to $150k depending on your family income. If you are motivated by the lure of a high paying career, that is likely something you could pay off in a very reasonable amount of time.

Fifth, if you hate what you do it will eventually crush you. Taking a job you hate for more money is typically not a sustainable path. It sounds like there are some opportunities that do interest you and I would encourage you to explore them more, even if the money is not as great as what seems like a terrabad alternative.

A Warning to Others:

This person has fallen into the no credentials trap. The reality is that the majority of college students change majors and 30% do so more than once. This career uncertainty is not limited to college students and like this person, most people in their early 20s will ultimately agonize over their chosen career. The key difference here is that a high school student deciding to switch careers in the first few years after graduation has built nothing whereas the college student was still building towards a degree even if they switch tracks several times.

I know some will want to counter that a degree is meaningless for a tech career and for some select few that might be the case, but we are not all programming savants or entrepreneurial wizards and I would strongly caution anyone from taking it.
Apple CPU/hardware + Apple display technology + Apple software would easily justify the 3k price. And people would pay it. Not just because it's Apple, but because Apple has the means to vertically integrate the entire tech stack into a high end product that far surpasses what their competitors are capable of. Google Android software and Qualcomm hardware have been trying for a decade and still can't match Apple.

So yea, Apple is poised to dominate VR. The next big ticket, high margin device that every human being on the planet will want. Forget the Apple car. If they can achieve 8K VR, they are steps away from having a device that can put you in the same 'meeting room' with someone else (like your friends, family, co-workers, etc..) and have it be visually indistinguishable from the real thing.

Large companies also do occasional complete re-writes of legacy products. It's not as common (because of course the larger the project, the more expensive it is), but it still happens.

I would also argue that rewriting your code somewhat frequently is part of good engineering. As you discover more of the problem, old code needs to be discarded. Usually what happens is that you start solving problem A, then realize a new need to solve problem B. But really it would've been much better to solve a combination of the two, problem C, which requires an entirely different approach than dumping new code for B onto the old codebase for A.

It's actually part of why I wrote the article, because I do honestly believe it is a common misconception that rewrites are more expensive than modifications (although I'm sure that's true in some cases).

Also, I gotta say, while I appreciate that you took time to comment and chime in with the discussion, the way you worded it was quite rude and a bit hurtful.
Ok, we've changed the title from "Now pip runs on a Python interpreter rewritten from scratch in rust". Hopefully less misleading. Thanks!
I love this: "it is my very strong conviction that making breaking changes would violate the trust that exists between Dyalog and its customers, and I would personally consider it to be unethical."

I do not actually have a personal need for APL or Dyalog's product, but nowadays it is pretty refreshing to see somebody who seems to deeply care about backwards compatibility.
Why? I mostly have zero interest in being immersed in meetings. Most people aren't IRL most of the time. There's potentially value where people need to be on-site in other contexts such as repairing equipment.
It's an assumption that seems to hold more merit for other organs.

The brain is quite a plastic organ that adapts to it's surroundings as a man matures.

Good question - I was actually initially doing work to support certain unionization efforts. However, unions really have some tough structural issues that risk impacting perceived benefits of protecting workers rights.

In other words, I'm pushing down a path of simple, broad based, WORKERS rights, rather than pushing down union rights. Workers rights helps everyone.

Some on my list if interested:

1) Raising minimum wage - with a geo cost of living factor.

2) Absolutely raising minimum wage to be exempt from overtime - this is a no brainer and criminal that it is not higher.

3) Consider ending employer based healthcare and replacing with universal offerings covering part time, poorly paid and basically everyone (still using private insurance is fine).

4) Dramatically simplifying retirement plan choices, limiting the top hat, nonqualified deferred and other plan types that execs use to take huge amounts tax free, and trade that for better benefits on lower end of income scale.

5) Being much more aggressive about classes of work with clear worker abuse. So while uber makes the news, the door to door sales kids being sexually harassed, stuck far from home, ripped off, told to scam others etc etc - I've been very active in some of these abusive industries to try and get some more accountability into them - which would be TRIVIAL to do if anyone had any backbone - but it's MUCH easier to beat up on amazon. Not to get into sob stories, but whole classes of folks are just trampled on without any consequence, and it would not be hard to clean up substantially (elderly, young etc etc).

There is a lot more - but yes, AB5 and before that the removal of reserve accounts for schools (also union backed) along with the tendency to keep horrendous workers on at all costs (police, medical malpractice situations, teachers etc) soured me on unions a bit unfortunately.
That sounds like an oxymoron.

Anyone have a good resource on understanding the policies that govern the ownership and handling of data collected by an Apple Watch? I quite like that they can be used for tracking sleep, heart rate, and many other health-related items. Ideally, I'd have full control over how these valuable, longitudinal datasets I generate are handled and used. But I'm skeptical that's anywhere near the case.

> At the end of the day what you want? A certain salary? If you define what it is people here can tell you if it's reachable in software (it probably is) and how. A certain type of work? Just tired of working in software?

Mostly the seconds, although I'm not sure I could concretely describe what exactly that type is. Typically, I can identify it when I see it, but it seems very rare for me to ever see a positions where I think "yeah, that's what I'd like to do" and when I do it's typically beyond me in terms of specific experience requirements, education, etc.
Nobody here thinks anyone in the US should be unable to use Signal.

Like mentioned in the article, they would only be rendering what’s directly in the clearest part of the eye at full resolution, so the idea of actually needing to transmit two full 8k streams is not right.

Also, it sounds like this would be more of an all-in-one device, where it’d handle the rendering instead of connecting to a separate computer, so the rendering performance is more likely to be the limitation than any kind of transmission limitations anyways.
>Apple will liberally use an already-known VR technique that involves using eye-tracking to render objects in the user's periphery at a lower fidelity than what the user is focusing on.

This seems to be describing foveated rendering, which is reducing the image quality in your peripheral vision, because you are less likely to notice it there. It requires tracking where the eye to so you know what part of the screen the eye is looking at.

The RTX 3090 is likely rendering the whole 8k screen at a consistent quality level, whereas foveated rendering would mean that only the part of the display that the eye is actually focused on would be rendered at full quality. If Apple could pull off the tracking well enough (accurately, with low latency), they could probably save a lot of GPU power by lowering render quality outside of what you're looking at.
