I don't think it's a contradiction.

If you follow the exact wording of the law, it's easier to find loopholes (like a hacker looking for a breach).

If you follow the intent of the law, then it's much harder. A judge will see if you acted in bad faith, if your actions are against the spirit of the law.

I don’t think anyone thinks this. The discussion all seems to be around reaching $1 USD or now, $10 USD.

The latter would make it bigger than Bitcoin is now, but hey, who knows what will happen. It could go to $10 in a few years or 10 cents. I don’t think anyone can really say.

If intent counted more, then nobody would be acquitted of a crime on the basis of a technicality

One person's "technicality" is another person's last hope to have a core principle enforced like "innocent until proven guilty".

Intent is a squishy thing that's open to endless subjectivity and biases. Intent should only be used when the letter of the law isn't sufficiently clear.

Separation of Powers was one of the most brilliant concepts undergirding the US Constitution. It's already been damaged pretty badly over the years. We don't need to double down on that damage by insisting upon having judges ignore the wording of laws so they can go with their feelings regarding intent.

Understanding the weird Biden-Carter photo could help you take better selfies
There was this product[1] to browse internet offline by downloading something called “Web Packs”. This was back in 2005 just when I was graduating when I spoke to the founding team. They were naturally quite confident about the product taking off. Something seemed off to me I couldn’t point out what so I didn’t take the job offer. After all these years I realized the source my discomfort. They were actually betting against the speed of internet getting better. While most of the businesses like Amazon, Google were betting for the internet tech to improve this product did exactly the opposite.

To me Mighty sounds like a similar category of product. They are betting that PC/Laptop/Mobile hardware will stagnate from this point on. Exactly when Apple has launched M1, which blows the previous version out of the water, at a non crazy price. From this point it’s a matter of time other hardware also catches up in terms of performance and price.

Besides, yet another company to handover my entire browsing history and data for purported improvement in latency? I don’t know.

Keeping support for near 20 year old consumer grade machines in the kernel seems ridiculous to me. Doing so would bloat the size of the kernel even more than it already is. The more code you have the easier it is for bugs and vulnerabilities to creep in.

I agree with the general gist of this, however the crux is that most ideas that turn out to be revolutionary just don't originate within the accepted circle of domain experts, exactly because being a domain expert makes you more unlikely to think out of the box.

Interacting with companies in several countries, my impression is that many companies in France will hire more people and share knowledge so that the higher-than-average 'vacations days' do not impact business continuity. It's certainly the case in companies that I've worked for.

I haven't seen any studies but I'd not be surprised if this translates into an increase in total employment.

Another benefit I perceive is that by assuming that people will be absent, companies have higher bus factors by default and the increased resilience that goes with it. And of course, the reduced efficiency that comes hand in hand. I've lived through enough crises to favour resilience.
Slackware or NetBSD would run perfectly.

For Slackware, enable ZRAM:

wget -O /etc/rc.d/rc.zram https://raw.githubusercontent.com/otzy007/enable-zRam-in-Slackware/master/etc/rc.d/rc.zram

sed -i 's,1024,512,g' /etc/rc.d/rc.zram

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.zram

echo '/etc/rc.d/rc.zram start' >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Easy GUI on Slackware:

You won't need Plasma or XFCE. For sure. Deselect them,
as lightweight apps are more than enough.
Setup Slackbuild thru sbotools.
Then, sboinstall icewm and configure it:

- IceWM. Edit the preferences so the fonts
match the GTK3 theme. "fc-list | grep fontname"
will help you on that.

- Some matching IceWM and GTK3/2 theme. Metal2 from
IceWM matches perfectly the Solaris 8 theme from B00merang, Google/DDG it.

- XFE as the file manager, the colour scheme can
be changed with ease so it matches the GTK3 colours.

- "udiskie &" in ~/.icewm/startup.

- "nm-applet &" appended to the same file.

- Seamonkey as the web browser, with UBo Legacy.

- AlienBOB has a Chromium build, and I have a huge envvar for Chromium in order to be run fast on machines with at least 1GB of RAM. It's too large in order to be posted here, but I can post it under a separate self-answer to this post.

- Audacious as the audio player, SMplayer for videos.

- For gaming, Slackware has several Slackbuilds with light games. And Wine with multilib.

- Ted/Gnumeric make an amazing and lightweight alternative to LibreOffice.
In India currently die ~2 people per 100k per week on Corona. In Germany it was over triple that in December. The total Corona mortality in India is also way way lower as in Germany (16.842/100k vs 100.35/100k).

I am not sure that the moral panic is even justified.
We have game streaming services from NVIDIA and amazon has had Amazon workspaces. With the global chip shortage which will affect a large amount of people I think that this would be the best time to prove your product to have a good effect.

Linux has done no such thing. The author is complaining about specifically Linux distributions with graphical user interfaces.

"Linux developers are suffering from the Microsoft disease. Namely, they seem to be too busy chasing the latest fads"

This is also a ridiculous statement. It has traditionally always been Microsoft that wasn't chasing the latest fads. Microsoft has always been late to any new developments and technologies. Apple and Linux have always been the first in class there.

If you want a well supported operating system on your old computer, install Windows on it. Don't rely on the work of enthousiasts that are just trying to build the best next thing.
Ugh. Having the ability to comment really does add an entirely new dimension to a service, but a culture of bad comments can be so disheartening, and it seems like a tough cancer to treat.
> But, given that Linux is a community-supported operating system that does not need to make a profit,

Linux doesn't need money to make a living, software maintainers do.

> I see no valid reason for it not supporting every computer that can still be useful.

I assume the author is willing to pay all the people who are going to maintain all of those "computers that can still be useful" instead of demanding that they conjure spare time for that out of nowhere.

As much as I share the sentiment of keeping old hardware alive and useful, reality requires a question of "who's going to work on that".
Always treat every single crypto project as a scam. It is one of the safest bets you can make. Everyone involved is a scammer, every exchange is untrustworthy, and nobody can be trusted.

I personally think it involves a lot the nordic mentality of thinking carefully before acting, which in the long run leads to a society with much fewer problems.

See for example the prison system: do want people to suffer or do we want them to return as reasonably normal members of the society?

Also, let me add that I find the article slightly offensive.
I don't think that was the question, not that you're wrong.

The question might be more the same one I had: Are they actually making a 2nm POWER processor, or is this just some basic chip that shows that the process works?
Do you mean images and media, since these could be avoided/ mitigated? Or do you mean the browser itself won't work in a constrained environment?
A Raspberry Pi 1 with 256MB works very well with Pi-hole. It has a lot of free RAM to spare.

I think your posts underlines an important fact: Nowadays more and more tasks require an up-to-date internet browser. These browsers need a lot of RAM. Both their complexity and the websites' is increasing all the time.
I am also against a throwaway society but there comes a point where you need to accept old computers/vehicles/toys/instruments/tools are beyond your ability to maintain/use them. If you want to fork over some money semi-regularly or learn how to do it yourself, it becomes an ornament.
Somehow expecting 20 year old computing hardware to be supported now, free of charge, in Linux is a valid criticism. 20 years ago, setting that computer up was a nightmare for non tech-savvy folk but current distributions need to support your horse and cart.

My understanding is that third party engines are allowed. They just can’t JIT the JavaScript unless they use the builtin Safari one. So, if you want to have the same performance of the builtin Safari browser, you really need to be nothing more than a skin around it.
Reducing average memory read/write latency (as well as increasing bandwidth) is the point of big caches - but, cet. par. bigger caches inherently have higher lookup latency, deeper cache hierarchies increase the latency further and cache sizes are also limited by ISA concerns (4K pages on x86 limit the size of VIPT caches). So a system with a deep cache hierarchy and large caches will perform better on average, but actually going out there and getting bits from main memory will take longer. Not least because the actual, physical latency of DRAM itself improves only very, very slowly, this makes old systems stand up quite well in this particular metric against modern systems.

What helps me with this inherent uncertainty is writing in a functional style (simple inputs and outputs, minimal functions) and using runtime tests to check for correctness. The key is to have the tests as far down the abstraction tree as possible. There's a performance hit, but you can use macros to keep it out of production.
With all the over-the-top sensationalized news reports, I did not hear an understated humor in a long time and then I saw this in the article! Nice one!

>>IBM states that the technology can fit ’50 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail’. We reached out to IBM to ask for clarification on what the size of a fingernail was, given that internally we were coming up with numbers from 50 square millimeters to 250 square millimeters.
It seems to be properly reasoned, but I agree - as another native Catalan - that the title is surprising.

Most of the hardware specific code is in loadable kernel modules, they increase the code size but not the system requirements.
It’s also just as often someone who’s worked in an industry for a while and has a bunch of good ideas from understanding the problems. We put the college kids making big companies on a pedestal but most startups are from people who know the domain.

You won’t find a revolutionary import/export company that doesn’t have some knowledge about the logistics industry. But you are more likely to be paying attention to new technologies as they emerge that might allow you to come up with the revolutionary ideas. I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older I’ve stopped spending my time fiddling with all my devices. As a result I’m less likely to realize when something new and exciting might be within reach, until it hits a higher point on the bell curve of maturity.

Sounds like they're just using the wrong word for what they're measuring. Perhaps we should be talking about "contentment" instead of "happiness" here?

The word 'happy' has an unusually large load of nuance to it, as well, not the sort of thing I would want to try to nail down for scientific study.
Not to deny your orbs (though, orbs are pretty "common" - like ball lightning)... but I saw 3 flying orbs in the 90s that I thought were ufos (or, one ufo) - like they were kind of linked, but moving independently. Weird looking. I woke my parents to come and verify I wasn't crazy. I called the telephone operator (lol, trust me, they were a thing once) to get the number for the observatory and the operator said "You saw them too? Let me know if you find out what it is!". The observatory was closed and I never chased it up.

I started thinking about that again recently and went to see if others had the same experience. Ended up finding video footage of exactly what I saw, and... US spy equipment. I have the program name written down somewhere - it wasn't Black Triangle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_triangle_(UFO)) - but it was something similar. I was so disappointed.

I really think for something like a violent video archive to do as much good as possible, it needs to be entirely grant funded. Aside from the obviously problematic approach of monetizing violence, I don't think you can be too heavy-handed in protecting privacy with this sort of thing. Though I wonder how this might change with deepfake videos gaining momentum. I think the entire venture would be really expensive to do well.
Most professional photographers who used DSLRs ten years ago are still using them. Electronic viewfinders are fundamentally inferior in terms of the viewing experience and battery life, but have other pluses like light weight, low cost and configurability (all of which amateurs prioritize more than professionals).

It is not a huge loss though, because pros almost exclusively buy their DSLRs from Canon and Nikon.
Not necessarily, because this inversely also allows packing additional complexity onto the same die size.

Just look back over CPU development and costs over the last couple decades. The latest gen stuff got ever more complex and ever more capable but cost roughly the same at the time it hit the market.

Also the flexibility of doing so: if I need to take tomorrow off, I'll just let the client know I'll be unavailable for the day, and not charge for it. If they really need my work to be done that day, I can offer a substitute, charge the client, and pay the substitute.
