I've used both Gnome and KDE based UI's, and yeah, I don't feel strongly about the differences, but also I've never felt like either one was actually good. They both get the job done, but they both feel designed by developers for developers, on the assumption that anything you can't figure out in the UI you'll Google or open a terminal and text editor to deal with it. Compared to, say, the iPad 2 which felt clearly designed for lay users down to the settings UI. (I feel like the later versions of iOS got more complex and harder to parse, so I'm picking the iteration I liked the most.)

But then again, it's Linux, I'm a developer, I'm used to Googling how to do things, and I play my video games on Windows, so 90%+ of my time in Linux is in the terminal, text editor (or IDE), and browser anyway. So no complaints - the presence of a fully featured UI isn't why I use Linux.
> Julia is that you can code without caring about performance (and the performance will be Python-like)

Typically unoptimized Julia is comparable to Python glue + optimized C (e.g. numpy).
A Linux phone will absolutely need something compatible with Apple CarPlay and/or Android auto. I assume most people are like me and prefer to use their phone's navigation apps rather than their car's built in navigation (which is always outdated and inferior).
Glad that you like it. I will definitely consider your input..

Please let me know other things you would like us to improve.

Also please tell me what are the things you really liked.

"the show does justice to the victim" -- I'm not sure what that means, whether it can be meaningful. I imagine most victims would rather just be left alone, including the dead ones.
Victorian values, a practical guide: enforcement
As for "awk", "Awk", and "AWK" all working on macOS: APFS seems to default to being case-insensitive.
I don't think that's a tangent. I think you are exactly right.

The virus uncovered political dysfunction in ways nothing else could have achieved.

It also showed the world the state of decimation of the industrial bases of the US, Europe and nearly every nation on the planet. The fact that the US and Europe could not make masks and protective equipment because we don't even make the cloth or the machinery required to manufacture these things at scale was a shocking revelation for anyone not in manufacturing.

I think this is one of the reasons for which I reacted so quickly. Aside from having the means, I have been manufacturing things for three decades and have see exactly how badly our supply chain and capabilities have eroded. I want to say that I instinctively knew that a pandemic would likely cause massive shortages due to our lack of mass manufacturing capacity. It also helps that I spent a good deal of my life in Latin America. I remember my parents buying huge sacks of flour, sugar and other things as the economy faltered around them.
Exactly. They want a phone that, to the extent possible, is not a surveillance device vacuuming up all their data and sending it to apple and google. Obviously the phone companies and ISPs can still vacuum up data even with a linux phone, but you've got to start somewhere.
I rarely use perfume either, and not too fond of it, but I do shower mostly daily, with unscented shower oil.

Have you tried something like this?

It's as effective as a regular soap, but my skin is much less dry.
No, I don't know anyone with a Tesla. I do know people with Hondas, Beamers, Nissan Leafs, and I own two Toyotas and a Mazda.

Definitely no Chryslers, Dodges, Fiats, or Rams. They are very limited in market reach indeed in NZ, unless we're talking vintage cars, then there's a few more.

I also had the, ahem, "privilege" of owning a GM built "Toyota" previously[1]. It was... shall we say, a cacophony of interesting and bemusing engineering choices - the boot/trunk lid was incredibly heavy, yet the latch mechanism was made entirely of plastic, and to turn on the interior lights, you had to turn the dashboard brightness dial all the way up, and then a bit more, and then the interior lights would turn on. Only took me 3 months to figure that out. Admittedly, was handy for turning on the interior lights without looking away while driving, but was not at all intuitive.

Oh, I do know someone with a couple of Jeeps though, the poor bastards.

I guess you could rephrase my statement as "I don't know anyone with a car built after 2016", although as far as I can tell in NZ, Toyotas, at least, ship with telematics as an option for fleet management, rather than a default.

> I was surprised that "Awk '!a[$0]++'" works too (on Mac at least). If I "ls Awk" in \usr\bin, it says Awk is there. If I "ls awk" it says awk is also there—but it seems they're the same file, and it's only pretending Awk is a file. AWK also... I never noticed that before!

I presume this is a side-effect of the macOS default filesystem being case-insensitive. I'm running macOS with a case-sensitive fs and that does not work:

$ awk
usage: awk [-F fs] [-v var=value] [-f progfile | 'prog'] [file ...]

$ Awk
-bash: Awk: command not found

This default is a topic of great debate.
Also: gish galloping.
You must have something very wrong; neither Windows Powershell nor Powershell 7 takes 30s to launch.

But anyway, for a quick calc, is there anything faster than Spotlight (for mac)/Gnome shell (for linux)/Powertoys Run (for windows)? Instead of app name you are going to launch, just punch in your expression.
If the cloud companies just paid a team of five people 200K each to spend a year rewriting OpenSSL from scratch, they would save multiple millions in scrambling to deploy bug fixes.
To my knowledge there aren't a whole lot of dedicated apps for streaming services. So the comparisons would be:

- How a Spotify tab looks in a browser in KDE vs GNOME.

- How the unofficial Spotify Flatpak looks in KDE vs GNOME.
No one grants you rights, you have them by virtue of simply existing. People may not respect your rights, and may interfere with your efforts to exercise them, but you still have those rights.

If you are the last person on earth you may have no need for your rights but again they still exist. Your neighbor can't decide you don't have the right to live anymore, if he kills you that is a violation of your rights. Others will punish the murderer for that violation.

You can forego some rights in exchange for benefits like participation in certain groups, which is the basis of the social contract. For example I agree to temporarily forego the right to privacy in an airport in exchange for the privilege of being allowed to fly. Sometimes the decision to do so is very one-sided, but its still a decision.

If people could unilaterally revoke your rights whenever they became inconvenient, what would be the point of rights at all?
Both articles use each other’s names at least three times. Both articles reference the full name in first use and last name on subsequent references.
Improving on speed stopped making sense for civil aviation. Concorde was technologically cool, but didn't solve a major problem.
Eh, it also often is. Better transportation, better medical devices, better energy grids. Aviation was and is used to drop bombs on other human beings! Nothing is black or white.
This is quite old.
I think Amarok's Qt5 port didn't get finished, and I think Elisa is the new KDE music player:

https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/elisa

Also CD Burning? I think even in 2017 PCs and Laptops didn't come with CD drives.

Personally, I like KDE for the small touches.
Like the file browser having an integrated terminal that follows the directories you're browsing.

If you want to see what the KDE's Design Guidelines are look here:

https://develop.kde.org/hig/

And GNOME's is here:

Perhaps it's worth doing a 2021 comparison?

There seems to be a lack of self-awareness here?
The UX of a REPL sucks if you're not an expert. A calculator UI gives you a lot more guidance about what's available.

Accessibility is everything. I would guess the skeuomorphic calculator apps have 5 orders of magnitude more users than bc, and 4 more than the REPLs (not that the REPLs were even built for this purpose).

I think they will evolve over time away from skeuomorphism, but not into anything resembling a plain REPL.
I shudder to think what you're running Windows 10 on because it only takes 2 seconds to come up on this Celeron 2957U I'm using to browse the internet.
I suggest you get some help.
One word: Compatibility. There are already protections against XSS and CSRF build in, and adding stricter rules would cause sites to break. Do you want to maintain a list of all sites that need cross origin GET requests to function?
With a more professional presentation, this could be more palatable to people :)

Accept issues, avoid one or two word explanations for questions ("Cool", "Syntax", etc.), replace the "hack" text in the source with a "TODO" or something, use more thoughtful variable names, make a good case for using this syntax over the available alternatives, and make good commit messages.

If this was part of your portfolio and I was looking to hire you, I would definitely have you in the "maybe" pile (instead of the "yes" pile) because of the apparent lack of skill in documentation, communication, and sympathy for your fellow devs. I would hate to work at a company that supported this style of presentation.

You went through the trouble of creating a test file, but it's empty :(

Aside from that, I think the syntax looks good!
Just print-n-filed this thread into "Writing and Style."

Figuring out how to handle ambiguity in writing is difficult. Sometimes a little fuzzing works, I appreciate you supplying an explanation.
I have compiled straight from source on the feature/native-comp branch, and it works noticeably much faster. I am actually scared of going back to the regular Emacs, as I may find it way too slow.

I am not sure how much it is from native Emacs, as when I did this, I also enabled all the other recommended optimizations from lsp (increasing the gc threshold early in the config, installing and compiling with native json support etc.)

As far as I know, the latest branch has all the necessary flags enabled, so you can just do

./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-nativecomp --with-xwidgets --with-json && make -j4 && make install

after you installed the dependencies and cloned the Emacs repo (--with-nativecomp may actually be set to default now in this branch). You also need a very recent version of gcc, as the libgccjit is somewhat new, and it may err on the compilation process.
This is simply not true, unfortunately. I run a Fedora system for more than ten years, and during this period updates shoved into my system tons of unwanted stuff. I still prefer the system to the alternatives, but let me tell you, there is simply no way I would install flatpak into my system, and if it wasn't for the terrible log spam it filled my log with, I probably wouldn't even know it arrived. But it would still be calling home and look for new packages that I will never want to use.

Maybe, even probably, no one have any nefarious motives behind the latest changes, but someone decided that if I want to upgrade my system now I have to start using systemd-resolve, and while I can and probably will alter it so it won't bother me, I wouldn't be installing it on my own.

Also, Firefox is the king of unwanted changes with little to no warnings, and while technically it isn't Linux, one day an innocent yum or dnf update install just killed my customized setup, flagged all my beloved addons as unsupported, and left them in disabled state.
Engineer teaches wild birds garbage collection
"Regional" here still encompasses a few states and several hundred miles for a trip. In the US "regional" distribution centers may cover the same geographic area as France+Germany+Belgium+Netherlands. Its not uncommon for New Mexico+Texas+Oklahoma+Arkansas+Lousiana to be one "region", if you're set up in Oklahoma or Texas each of those states is pretty much just one state over. Albuquerque to Memphis (the East-West stretch of this region) is 1,000mi.
One of the biggest lessons I learned is that you can't let your work speak for itself and expect a raise or promotion. I soaked up all I could and volunteered for tasks, often times going way out of my comfort zone. When my first review came along, I didn't do a very good job of articulating all of that into my self review. So despite having gone above and beyond, I got a Meets Expectations.

After that, I made sure to document everything I did. I also looked up the responsibilities and expectations for the next level position and documented every way that I was already performing and oftentimes exceeding at that level. Therefore, when monthly one-on-ones or the annual review came along, I was prepared to make my case for why I deserved a promotion. That's how I was able to be promoted 3 times within 5 years, quickly surpassing peers who had been there much longer than me.

tldr; your success as a beginning software engineer is dependent upon your abilities to learn, to take on tasks that are outside of your comfort zone, and above all to be your own best advocate.
Samsung Announces 512GB DDR5 Memory That Is Twice as Fast as DDR4
This is assuming you're the hominid making the choice and not the hominid to whom to the choice is applied.
It's a much bigger trending problem. We have entered an era where our leader's flaws can (and probably should) be exposed. There is an old idiom:

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

We cannot watch over our leaders like a hawk and dissolve their right to privacy however. The critical problem we now continually face (Here We Go Again and Again) is how do we forgive and re-trust our leaders? Where is the line that eliminates them from leadership?

Microsoft actually has a pretty cool OSS funding campaign that bypasses a lot of the "ugh, but the paperwork to get this funded is insane" stuff and just lets engineers nominate and vote on projects: https://github.com/microsoft-sponsorships/microsoft-foss-fun...

I've voted several times and think it's a great model. It was pioneered by Indeed and is likely also adopted elsewhere.
Wonder if LibreSSL is affected
Yeah, and there's a bit of a bucket crab effect where trying to be a definite optimist in a world of indefinite optimists is much harder.

Reminds of me of "The General" from Asimov's Foundation and Empire (spoiler alert for an amazing book from 1952). In a time where the galactic empire is collapsing/shrinking, General Bel Riose makes it his mission to restore the empire militarily and re-conquer the lost territory. He's actually a good commander, has overwhelming force, and looks to be in the process of achieving complete victory in the style of historical military commanders that made the empire great. In light of his achievements, the Emperor sees him as a potential rival, despite the fact that he never appears to have any ambitions to the throne (he's presented as an Imperial True Believer), recalls him right on the cusp of complete victory over the Foundation, and the Foundation survives being snuffed out in its infancy.

Even trying to emulate the old greats with the best of intentions will fail if you don't account for your environment. If everyone else is more concerned about their portfolio, to some degree you have to be as well, even if it distracts from the greater goals.
You are lucky. Germany is the absolute worst for good 4G connection outside the cities and along some autobahns.
Machine Learning Model Management: What It Is, Why You Should Care
> SQLite is serverless.

Maybe if you use SQLite as a file format. But if you use it like an actual database (e.g. in a web application), I find that one is best off setting up a daemon thread to queue/batch transactions.
Hey, great response and interesting talking points there.

I agree with the "20 different streaming services" I think somebody (ROKU have started) need to address this pain point.

I do agree with all of your other points as well.

Just based on your reply I could guess your age haha I also remember the endless flicking of pages in store. I kinda liked the hunt!
"“public domain” is an ambiguous license, which is generally not considered to be free. "

Thats where I disagree.

First Public domain means no licence as far as I understand it.

And if I can do whatever I want with it - then this means really freedom to me.
So it sounds absurd to me, if this is not considered "free".

And yeah, I know about copyleft. But I don't think you can achieve true freedom when it is mandatory. Thats kind of opposite.
Yeah, I think that's more likely the case - I don't know anyone with a car younger than 2016. My three vehicles are 2005, 2006 and 2008, and they're all sauntering along with nearly 300,000 km on them each. God bless Japanese engineering.

In NZ we tend to buy used Japanese imports because they're so damn cheap (IIRC, Japan has very strict rules about the age of a car for pollution control purposes, so they get shipped off to Australia and us after hitting that age limit, and we don't charge tariffs, unlike the Aussies), most people here would be lucky to buy a new car once or twice in their life.

Unless you go the usual route and start a building company, tick up a new Ford Ranger on the company's credit, transfer ownership to your spouse/partner, and then go into liquidation leaving behind devastated people who were trying to build their first home - and subcontractors who really need the $12k you owe them.
The past few years have made public a lot of the ideological baggage resident in these organizations. One possible positive thing about it is if you're thinking about contributing somewhere (financially or otherwise), it's easier to know who aligns better with your own personal philosophy.

Personally, I want to support an organization that serves a mission of Free Software and not mired in a bunch of social issues largely irrelevant to the cause. Some of those social issues might be important, but there are plenty of other organizations dedicated to such matters. So, I'm hopeful here that FSF has a chance to emerge from this more focused.
The thing that makes me giggle is how it also happens to be the most primal function of a computer.

I'm sure all tools you suggest are great, but as someone who can program, I can just use the REPL of whatever programming language I'm using at the moment. I have no need for a dedicated tool in the first place.
> I believe RMS is the only person around that can prevent a full corporate take over of Linux.

How? What has he actually done - what have been his successes?

What can he do? He can't stop companies from writing software.

He's a champion of GPLv3, which companies are already avoiding like the plague and is driving them to development alternative SW to replace the GPLv3 tools.
Yeah, nah
I decided to give it a try on a new project and, although it seemed strange at first (coming from years using git), I fell in love with it and I'm converting all my own projects to fossil. It does everything other SCMs do. It also can do everything git does, but in a saner way.

Also, the self-hosting capabilities in a few MB binary are astonishing and you just don't pay for what you don't use. In my own repositories, I don't use chat nor wiki pages, but I do use forum, the ticket system and technotes.

The community and developers are very nice to answer questions too, and are open for suggestions. There is room for even further improvement and it is more a matter of someone showing up willing to develop the specific feature of the project.
Like s2n?

I switched to Linux/Gnome from macOS about 3 years ago. From my perspective, they're both frustrating in different ways, but I would be okay using either one. Gnome is too simplistic and opinionated, KDE is too heavy and fragile (but I also don't have a lot of experience with it).

Overall, Desktop Linux works well enough for me to live with it. A few years earlier, that was not an option if you wanted to live a relatively normal computing life without missing out on too much or spending an inordinate amount of time on keeping your system alive.
I've been running linux on the desktop for 3 years now and have never had an update break anything. If you stick to the more stable debian derivatives and forgo some of the bleeding edge features in a rolling distro like Arch (btw I do not use Arch), the update process should be pretty seamless.
Do you have any links? Sounds interesting.

I definitely don't want mask wearing and social distancing to continue in perpetuity but I do hope that wearing a mask when you are feeling sick but still out in public becomes normalized.
Few of us are great, and few of us are the devil. RMS has contributed greatness to the world, even if, like me, you're not a huge fan of him personally. I appreciate all he has contributed and can also recognize he isn't perfect.

All of the crybaby trolls have done zilch compared to RMS.
I would like to see your sources for these "interesting" takes.

What's sad is that politicians who were likely responsible for thousands of deaths never seem to pay the political price for their actions.

For this and other reasons, I am a strong supporter or term limits. Politicians who stay in office for decades lead to dysfunction and rot.

No, it's not. My thoughts are my own. I wrote it after reading through various discussions and feeling a more nuanced take was generally lacking and felt I had something to add to the conversation. Nothing more, nothing less.
Oh that tool is neat, and they have a super slick UI!

Our tool definitely isn't as slick, but I think that has its benefits too. Like our trim interface doesn't look as nice, but shows a live preview of where you're at in the video.

That’s a linear mixing, non-linear allows for the absorption of two photons followed by the emission of one with twice the energy. That allows for a laser pumped frequency doubler.

Actually most consumer oriented lasers (for example green lasers) work like this, but I don’t know if it works for frequencies as high as soft x-rays.
