$1000 is less than 1% of the money I have in savings sitting in the bank. After all my expenses this month I better have more than $1000 left over when I get paid or somethings gone horribly wrong!

Yet...

I still wouldn't spend $1000 on anything outside of essentials without having a really good reason. I'm not spending $1000 on a holiday, that seems mental to me but then I'm not big into traveling.

I like gaming but I can't bring myself to spend the $2-3k or whatever it would be to get a good gaming PC. SO I have a PS4 and I mostly get games on sale or "free" via PS+.

Hell, I'm even considering whether or not I want to spend <$1000 on a PS5 if they are ever available for sale again... The PS4 is fine and I don't really need it so it feels like too much money to spend on something I don't really need. I can definitely live without it.

I just feel $1000 is a LOT of money. There's an amount of money that is a lot and an amount of money that I don't consider a lot. I think that break off is actually around $400. More than that trips a mental switch for me.
Man it's that bad I've literally stopped my Adobe subscription and moved on to Affinity products. It's 95% as good. (Better than how you'd compare DDG to Google for example). And so much cheaper. Also Adobe has so much crapware on my computer.
The only way to learn is by doing. Write yourself a bash script to automate some facet of your system. You will strike some sort of problem, that prevents you from moving on until you can 'fix' that problem. In fixing that problem you will gain insight as to how bash works.

Ferinstance: loops - write a bash script to write your name 10 times. That's a nice simple challenge.

Then, once you can do that, move on to (say)regex with sed. Then move on to crontab scripts which have a different set of environment variables from a normal user's such that your 'normal' bash scripts might not act the way you would expect.

I just did a count of my scripts directory. There are just under a nice round 500 in there. Some scripts are probably shorter than the name I have given them, one is a monster at just under 15 kilobytes. That big one runs every night to back up my system sufficiently that I can revert my system to the backup-time last night within less than 2 hours, even if I have to do a complete reinstallation of the distro on my system's hard drive.

For what it's worth, my 'goto' place for my bash 'how-tos' whenever I find myself stuck on a bash problem is the stuff from that tldp website:

The other commenters are all correct, but I wanted to say something I didn't see mentioned: you can totally do it, it's trivial to imagine a working gear with 13 teeth. But you can't make two smaller gears that have a ratio of 1:13, because 13 is prime, so you literally have to make it be 1 gear. That means the 1:1151 ratio literally has to be 1 big gear, which is hard to make.

You do have a misunderstanding about the wear. Unless your gear is oscillating back and forth, it will always move in a complete circle and always wear the teeth evenly. Note that the involute tooth design leads to less wear on an individual tooth, but it doesn't have to do with how many teeth are on the gear.

How is that political? I found it interesting to see the (long) process to get where we are.
>>Forced savings accounts with strict rules about how you can use the money are pretty much the antithesis of economic freedom, for instance, but it won't show up in economic freedom indices.

Forced savings are less of an affront to economic liberty than redistributive taxes. With Singapore's MediSave accounts, you are also free to start spending some of the funds on a wider range of goods/services once you have built an adequate amount of savings. This is not pure libertarianism, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is less of an expropriation of private property than taxes that create an uncapped obligation for you to support people you have no relationship to beyond being co-nationals.

The most important thing about Singapore is that it doesn't have a welfare culture. Situations you see in the West, like a person suffering from drug addiction all their life, and spending a lifetime being arrested for stealing from other residents, and quickly released each time due to a left-wing pity culture, while they receive disability and welfare cheques each month, that other citizens - the same ones losing their precious property to the lifelong addict - are forced to pay for, and that are promptly converted to drug money via their local dealer and node in the organized crime controlled drug trafficking network, are unheard of in Singapore, because there is no large Welfare Culture like there is in the UK and other Western countries.

>>Would you like to endorse the lack of exploitation of Russian citizens or retract your statement?

Fair point. Much of the wage growth in Singapore can be attributed to the catch up effect. But even after becoming an advanced economy, it has seen more rapid wage growth than the UK, and that is not attributable to the catch-up effect. That is because economic liberty is in the long-term interest of workers, because it raises overall productivity and average wages.

>>Ironically it's been the deliberately anti free market stuff they've done which has boosted living standards the most.

Western countries have massive intervention in their housing markets too. At least Singapore's is about expanding supply and making it available to the general market, as opposed to creating poverty-concentrations/ghettos by targetting socialized housing to those with low reportable income.

Ironically, Singapore's government, by building towers across the city, did away with one of the major impediments to housing markets in the West - zoning restrictions on building density/height.
Most vegans would support the extinction of domesticated cows over their forced inpregnation and commodification.

These domesticated cows aren’t necessary for keeping the ecosystem in balance, and any cow we don’t breed into existence won’t suffer. There aren’t a group of unborn cows being sad that they never got a chance to exist.

There isn’t a strong reason to support cow breeding for the sake of cows existing.

This is also how the TeX program works. Of course it has lots of variables (hundreds of "global" variables in fact), but for everything whose size may vary (boxes, lists of characters, lists of tokens for macros, …), it has two giant arrays of fixed size, one called “str” (aka the string pool, used for strings), and one called “mem” (used for everything else). It's this way partly because of the limitations of Pascal at the time.
Here is what Bitcoin does today:

It creates an unregulated, slow, sometimes-anonymous way to transfer USD between parties who distrust one another...

AND

...a vehicle for speculation, not far from gambling.

Basically, it's a way for people to invest in global organized crime and/or speculate about Bitcoin hype.

Does that justify the energy it uses? Not in my opinion, but I don't think its users care.

I hate leaf-miners with a passion. I planted a bunch of citrus trees a while ago, and citrus leaf-miners (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllocnistis_citrella) took a great liking to them. They nearly killed a few of the trees – and this is in a backyard with me attending to them pretty much every day. I hate to think of the industrial-scale agricultural damage these little jerks must inflict on commercial citrus orchards.

But, they seem to be really hard to combat. Efforts to do so (without blanket use of synthetic pesticides) are few, for whatever reason, and anecdotally of questionable efficacy (I managed to track down some pheremone-driven leaf-miner moth traps, which caught a lot of the buggers but didn't really solve anything).

Eventually I figured out that a combination of neem oil and spinosad (Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew) would kill the larval ones, but it didn't kill the eggs and so it would have to be applied every 4 days or so in order to make any progress. I. guess things like that are one of the reasons organic produce is more expensive – some of these things that nature throws at you are hard to combat without using broad-spectrum poison.

There is a lot of new jargon in crypto but what scientific field doesnt have jargon? I’m no expert but have read a bit about crypto and while I may not back every project out there I think the basis of using digital signatures and blockchains for registration of immutable data and verification of it has a lot of potential.

Yeah, but these rules don't need to be extended elsewhere. There are already tons of rules and gear that changes in popular sports based on the level of professional play... all the way down to swimming where professional meets have very different restrictions on suits, googles, caps than youth events.

Also as the article states, for most younger players, these changes wouldn't be an issue as the goalie isn't quite big enough to cause the rules to be needed.
Probably your feed is different from a lot of people's. Mine isn't so bad either, but I have seen ugly stuff on there on public groups. If you were to seek it, you would find it. And probably a number of people find it without seeking, then get caught up.
Sure, that's true, but even in the world where large agribusiness was perfectly regulated, economies of scale would still favor them over small-time milk producers.

Maybe the FSM is counter cultural but only in the way that housecats and lions are both felines.

Can someone dumb this down for me? Were we using some sort of a model that explained extra mass away by using "dark matter" and now this guy is suggesting that we use a different model that fits the observations neatly?

Alfvein cosmology was largely abandoned after the discovery of CMB. It’s too bad really, since it holds up quite well in many regards.

> Because it's programmable. I'm a programmer. I like things to be programmable.

This is not sufficient on its own. It's possible to have a programmable keyboard that has no screen. It's also possible to have a programmable screen that doesn't take over the function row (a row that has existed since the earliest days of computing).

> I've got no hope of remembering what a key like F6 means in a given context - it's a meaningless number

This doesn't make sense to me at all. Do you use keyboard shortcuts in the apps you use? How does Ctrl-Alt-Shift-V hit you? What about vim or emacs bindings?

We memorize a large number of things that are just as 'meaningless' as F6, so I'm struggling to get on board with this take.

> The Touch Bar lets me have context-sensitive keys I can actually understand and use.

As a touch typist, the changing context of a position on that row means I can no longer rely on my memory of the position of the key. I have to re-learn the meaning of that position for every app that uses that position for some other purpose.

For me, this is just as insurmountable as F6 is for you.

All text generated by current language models is defective. For reasons that are not fully understood, text language models emit is less interesting than text emitted by humans. Unlike humans, they can not score well on both coherence, as in grammatically correct sentences, and interest, as in "having something to say". They are however good at "coherent rambling".

Since most language models work by using its outputs as its inputs, this means that the emitted text becomes worse the more words that are emitted. Suppose you want your model to emit a novel. The first 30 words might come out ok. The next 30 are so-so. Eventually, after a few hundred words, the model will begin to ramble and will get stuck in loops: "then she went to visit her mother and she went to visit her mother and she vent to visit her mother and she ..."

All language models suffer from this problem; Markov models, RNNs, Transformers, GPT-2/3... In fact, one could argue that GPT-3 has "only" decreased the deterioration speed. Markov models deteriorate after a dozen words while GPT-3 can keep going for perhaps a hundred words before it begins to ramble. However, the statistical properties of the text GPT-3 generates are different from what a human emits (and what those "statistical properties" are is unknown - it appears that capturing what makes human prose human-like in a mathematical formula is very difficult) from the very first word so you can't use GPT-3-generated text to train GPT-4. The paper "The Curious Case of Neural Text Degeneration" describes the problem in more detail and with math.

A major breakthrough in language modeling may come if someone is able to invent a model that doesn't degenerate. One whose thousandth word is as human-like as its first word.
Ah, thank you, that was it. I was assuming they started from the label.
> but it simply wasn't a viable daily replacement for typical desktop activities without certain key supporting features

Well that's my point, then don't use it. It has been increasingly ready for more and more people, and it certainly needs more users to share what the pain points are, but you don't have to switch until enough progress has been made so that the transition is smooth enough for you.

> was rather aggressively pushed

By whom? a few distros toyed with the idea of making it the default and went back on it quickly, only now is it becoming a serious idea again and it's still a long time before X11 gets actually dropped rather than just not being the default.

What is a problem which you might consider as it being "pushed" is that X as a primary system is now essentially unmaintained upstream. The people that were maintaining X11 don't feel like it's worth the royal pain in the ass, moved to developing Wayland and are passing the baton to anyone willing to handle that particular burden.

> For gaming and 3D work, did the major implementations ever standardize a protocol for a window to capture the pointer? (I assume this has been done by now.)

Would not be able to tell you without searching for it like you could, but I've tested games that required full screen pointer capture on Sway, Wayfire (both wlroots) and GNOME successfully.

> Did an approach for handling key remapping and macros ever get standardized across implementations?

Key remapping, sort of, it's just xkb which is the low-level layer X builds upon and for which you can build keyboard layouts with no decent documentation in sight. As for key bindings, everyone has their own system, which works, but just isn't portable. This is still a big omission for some usecases which can be worked around but is still a rough edge.
The journalist Rocco Castoro, ex-Editor in Chief of Vice.com, has been working on a story about this for a while.

Roughly, and I might be misquoting here, what is now known is as follows:

1. The YouTube.com engineering team and internal Google networks are separate from most of the company and maintained by different engineers (for the most part).

2. There seems to be some internal investigation going on at Google as to whether engineers in the Los Angeles Playa Vista office of YouTube (the 440,000 sq feet Howard Hughes hangar from WWII just north of LAX) were accepting bribes.

3. These bribes were coming from ad fraud organized crime groups who were making money by making the YouTube apis and botnet detection algorithms less secure than they could be.

4. Because the YouTube division of Google was posting massive jumps in revenue and profit, the division was never looked into until recently as all was going well.

NOTE: I'm a former PSO Google Engineer (the GCP outside consultants that Google brings on to help customers onboard to GCP), so I am knowledgeable in this area.
I'm not able to get it to work in firefox either, but it feels like "reduced timer precision" shouldn't be sufficient to stop this particular attack. The authors of the demo here claim to be able to "amplify timing differences" by repeatedly hitting or missing cache and measuring the combined total time.

My searching indicates firefox's performance.now precision is 20us, but the demo claims to be able to get timing differences of 2ms pretty easily.

EDIT: 20us precision might be outdated... running this repeatedly on osx and linux, I'm distinctly getting my results "bucketed" into whatever the unit on the x-axis is. Based on that, I'm guessing timer precision on firefox is actually 1ms.

Increasing the cache timer repetitions gets me to a smooth graph, but still no separation of the peaks.

The fact that I can get the graph to go from discrete buckets to smooth normal curves makes me think this can indeed overcome reduced timer precision

The fact that I can't get the peaks to separate makes me wonder if some other mitigation is protecting me.

I don't think atmospheric drag at 400km is large enough to decay the orbit by half the vertical height of the ISS in half a cycle, though. The ISS itself with it's comparatively huge surface area does orbital reboosts only about once a month or so.[1] Also, my original comment was quite simplistic - a launch with a negative delta-v with no other course correction would result in an elliptic orbit with the same apogee but a lower perigee (and the other way around with a positive delta-v.) Orbits are tricky that way.

I've been suffering through the touchbar for a few years now and I STILL cannot do this properly. I certainly can't do it without stopping what I am doing and looking at the bar. I tend to either hit mute, Siri, or (if I'm at an unusual angle) I dim the screen. And this happens a LOT of times per day. When I'm on a system with actual buttons it is never, ever an issue.
