> Hardware wise, it looks great, but I seldom hear good things about the software, only that it is "improving" for years now.

It was pretty much DOA for me. Over the years I have learned/trained my hand to keep away from pen and paper. Well, mostly. Asking the same limb to now go back into taking notes by hand or drawing free-hand is a no-go for me. I learned this the hard way. And yes, laggy software makes it worse.

I would love to know what you mean - you keep saying these vague things with no facts to back them up.
I'm glad people are finally speaking out after all these years. I hated IndexedDB and got lambasted for expressing my views on this very forum. And I also recently just learned that IndexeDB was build on top of Sqlite in Firefox... what a cynical joke...
You don't have to sell out to a big US company, so it's worth pausing to ask how we've reached the situation you described.
Safari’s web view is almost identical to the ones that third parties use.
If by "old school" you mean "everywhere outside of Silicon Valley", then maybe. Coming from a pretty conservative society, I read these sorts of discussions with mild amusement. I may have formed a mistaken impression of the US society, but it seems to me that it tends to bounce from one extreme of political or social views to another.
Seems to me that a remote safety division is simply cheaper than contracting on-call security. They’ve been settling lawsuits when something happens beyond their control.

This is one tiny iota of an example, but imagine if an algorithm like the Fisher-Yates Shuffle was developed in an academic setting and became IP to be commercialized.

I can tell you my wife absolutely loves her Remarkable 2. I kinda want one myself now, but am not sure I can justify the cost for myself because my technology usage is different.

In her case, the ereader functionality is secondary. She's big on writing in notebooks and the Remarkable's experience there justifies the cost. It's really a device for writing, not reading.
I have 5 friends who are doctors as I lived with medics at uni and it’s not “just wrong”.

It’s not labour dogma it’s a fact that the NHS is excellent and there are numerous international studies that prove that. The pinnacle of medical care in the US is better but only if you can afford it through your insurance or being rich, in the uk it is available for all

It's built on top of Sqlite in Firefox, it isn't "low level". Give me Sqlite directly instead of that horrible stuff.
Turleys article is shallow and full of false assumptions.

He cites one Survey of 1283 people and thinks he can deduce the consequences of european hate-speech-laws from that. Despite the fact that I doubt that this small poll is representative, his assumptions are completly wrong.

What the by him cited article implies is that people are carefull with their opinion not because of laws but because of potential backslash from other people. Many people avoid controverse opinions because they want to avoid arguments. And the way the german question is written, this kind of avoidance is included. This has nothing to do with german laws.

If I read "I have long been a critic of the German laws prohibiting certain symbols and phrases" I am disgusted. Prohibiting the Swastika is part of historical responsibility we have as a society. That has nothing to do with free speech and the fact that turley implies that says alot about his mindset.

Luckily saying "Put all Jews in gas chambers" is not considered free speech here. We have to prevent on all means that history repeats itself. And the paradox of intolerance[1] is an important part of that.

Yea, it's not just desktop either but having stable releases for server workloads is pretty much essential. If there's no need to update for any required feature in a later version then doing updates for the sake of it just creates churn and actually increases the risk of potential outages. Stable with backported fixes for security means that only updates for security need to be actioned.
> RHEL used 64k page size on aarch64 for a while. I believe we have switched back to 4k.

Last I checked, at least CentOS 8 (which should be the same as RHEL 8) is still using 64k pages (search at https://git.centos.org/rpms/kernel/blob/c8/f/SOURCES/kernel-... for CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y).

And AFAIK, to access the maximum amount of physical memory in AARCH64 (52-bit physical addresses, instead of 48 bit physical addresses), you must use 64k pages. Since RHEL is normally used on servers, it makes sense to want to be able to access huge amounts of physical memory; that's probably the true reason (or even the sole reason) RHEL uses 64k pages on AARCH64.
Probably, but there are many smaller outfits that probably don't because they have a server fleet of "only" a few dozen servers or so. The cost savings for those won't be in the millions, but having to purchase ~5% fewer servers is still a pretty good win.
> AV software is not a substitute for education.

Yup, that is sort of true. However, I would not recommend to go unprotected to my friends.

I reckon there are some terrible AVs, some that should not exist anymore.

Yet, an AV can be taught to stop a zero day faster than an OS update. If you happen to step over a zero day, an AV software will find the file's signature faster than you restarting your computer to install the update, whether you have Windows, Linux or macOS. Windows Defender is just dumb, regarding to features and performance.

My selection criteria is to not trust anything outside of Virus Bulletin's VB100 and AV TEST's certification. These are independent reviewers.
The evidence is overwhelming, but the world is addicted to cheap Chinese products so we all looked the other way. But the buck should stop now.
Memento Time Travel: Scraping Archived Data with the Wayback Machine
Changelogs become good when one knows what they're doing.

If not, one cannot convincingly tell what the changes are actually for to other people and the changelogs get vague or omitted of details.
Absolutely. See the recent downfall of the Labour Party here in the UK. Also see the not-so-silent boo-ing by fans of the England Football team whenever they "take the knee" - the fans are accused of racism in this case (which I don't believe, but I'd be told to shutup as well).
I want some of my LinkedIn profile to be public. I DON'T want any random company scraping that PII data, storing it, processing it and making money from it.

Radioactive Super Takumar 1.4 / 50 lens
I bought an iPad Air specifically for this purpose. It is fantastic, and even better with the pencil. I was hesitant at first, but it’s probably my favourite device now. I purely use it to read PDFs and write little notes on them.
I'm using ReMarkable 2 as well and am happy with it, but if I would just wait for other devices to come up I'd consider boox nova or something like that for their completely different (and better) text convertion and so on.

But still - the device is quite awesome and I tough myself some drawing. Use it all the time to prototype diagrams and show architecture. Love it that I can draw some weird system connections on a diagram, copy and paste, and change some parts. Then I send a PDF and use it as a flip-book on zoom cals :)

Opensource tweaks are pretty good now. Some are actually obsolete as ReMarkable did nice improvements to zoom and document links. But most tweaks support RM2 already.
It seems buggy for me - it worked initially, until I used right-arrow to accept some text, then it seemed to mostly stop responding - even after a page reset - it's now very slow and/or intermittent. (Safari 14.1 on Mac)

I guess it's possible the backend is overloaded by the HN-effect?

Maybe you could add some kind of visual state indicator, e.g. a spinner that shows whilst HTTP requests are in progress, maybe an error indicator if the backend times out or returns an error.
It’s so easy in Singapore that I’ve become lazy. Even tho I literally live on top of the super market, I still order my groceries… delivery is free, I don’t have to deal with crowds, I can take my time, pick my delivery slot.

It’s TOO easy…
I'm a very happy ReMarkable 2 owner. I only wish it had been available many years ago: maaaan this thing would have saved me lugging around (and losing!) a gazillion duplicates of papers with different sets of notes on them during my PhD. I'm an incredibly disorganized person, and the RM2 has been an absolute godsend for me.

Positives:

* Build quality feels great.

* Screen is super responsive when writing. And responsive enough when flipping pages (although I am not familiar with the state of the art ebook readers).

* Pen feels really good against the surface. After one day of getting used to it, it started feeling as natural as paper for me.

* Hacker friendly: Tick a box under "settings" and it gives you the root password, and you just plug in a USB cable and SSH in as you please. Inside is a pretty standard Busybox-based Linux. All the cloud gizmos are optional. See also https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable

* Eternal battery life and perfect viewing angles and everything else you'd expect from this kind of screen.

Negatives:

* I would have like the screen to be just a liiiittle bit bigger. Some papers on A4 paper with smaller fonts cause me to squint a little unless I zoom in to crop out the margins (and if the margins aren't the same on each page, that's annoying).

* The upselling price of the nice carrying cases and the "fancy" pen are a bit ridiculous. Thankfully, the fancy pen isn't really that useful to me, because I prefer the fill-erase mode anyway.

* I often accidentally hit the power on button when carrying the thing.

* I know they're trying to minimize physical buttons, but I would personally have loved a physical button (preferably on the pen!) to flip into (fill-)erase mode.

I honestly don't know what the perception of people is that they compare modern day US with the Stasi times.

I'm serious, the comparison is so out of this world, but I keep hearing it.

Tell me anything that is politically incorrect that you could say in a bar that will get you tortured/executed/imprisoned.

I'm really not saying that this political correctness craze is any good and I'm pretty much on the it's too much in many cases side, but the degrees between getting bad looks and a discussion that gets heated.

Whenever I also have this argument, some people go nut picking and get me a couple of example where you could say that, I'm not even saying those don't exist, and they are terrible, it's just not even close to systematic and nothing to do with the Stasi times.

Also in regards to Germany, have you ever been there? I know it's anecdotal but people basically there just speak their minds, I've heard mall kinds of right wing politically incorrect stuff, on both sides.
You can do this on a Boox android-based e-ink tablet, which I’ve done and generally works well (after initial setup fiddling with the color to grayscale conversion)
It's always easier, quicker, clearer to explain things face to face.

This does not mean working out solutions and technical details there and then.
I'd agree that, in a teaching context, it's vital to have a consistant hardware / software experience - especially with beginner users, even different keyboard layouts are going to cause confusion. The Pi 400 is a great device, nice and compact - if you get the starter kit you just need to add a monitor / TV. That does somewhat assume someone has a bit of room, though - some space to plug in to what might be a shared TV. The really nice thing about Raspbian is that is does actually work on older laptops (with a couple of catches - no free Matlab), so, if you have an older laptop available and can spend a bit of time setting it up, you can give someone a very similar experience on a more all-in-one device.
Survey published in May 2019. Ask a German about Corona back then and they'd give you a bottle of beer. Or tell you "I'm not the bartender here.".
I think it's actually impressive speed-wise. Not a real tablet speed but in my case even large, graphics heavy documents work quite well.

I'm surprised they pulled this one off.
Wut? It's been more like 12, not two, years.

What difference would evidence make? What is the motive of Falun Gong to use this particular accusation?

You have some warped logic.

Night trains make a comeback across Europe
There's a story about Apple abusing their power and being worse than 90s Microsoft on the front page every other day. The big problem is that there's a lot of cultish defense of Apple and as the victims are software developers and the software industry in general there's not as much visibility to the public as there otherwise would be. Thankfully a lot of the anti-trust action happening right now is focused on Apple so maybe government will help protect the software industry from Apple.

It's easier to implement IndexedDB on top of a SQL database than the other way around, so people claiming IndexedDB is "lower level" are ignorant.

How does that work?
Most often, I don't worry about being misunderstood, but that people will overestimate my interest in debating a topic to some ultimate viewpoint or stalemate. I like trading a couple of comments - asking a question, hearing a bit from others, but I'm not there for a showdown. It's easier to feel this out amongst your circles of friends and acquaintances, but the scope explodes on the internet. I run a sports forum and I'm frequently amazed at people debating a subjective non-topic like their life depends on it. I have no idea where they find the time.
Not likely. Forced updates are an "engagement mechanic."

I bought a Remarkable 2 a month or two ago because I wanted a cool hackable e-ink Linux computer. But instead I immediately started using it as an e-book and document reader and note-taking pad, and nothing else. And, so far at least, that's perfect.

The screen is beautiful (a bit gray, but the black is really black so the contrast is still good), the device is thin and reasonably light, I only have to charge it once a week or so, and there are absolutely no distractions. I have even rediscovered the visceral pleasantness of writing by hand.

I especially like that it's *not* running Android (which I dislike more with each release). The biggest drawbacks, to me, are the fragile pen nibs and the inability to just SCP a PDF or EPUB to the device and have it work (their sync software works but isn't great).

Median household disposable income, at PPP, after taxes and transfers is higher in Ireland than France, Italy, UK.

It is behind all those on a per capita basis, but that's the mean, not the median. I infer that this means Ireland has less income inequality.

(Ireland's economic wonder was growth from the 90s through to the early 2000s, largely via foreign direct investment, incentivized by low corporate tax rates. This structurally inflates GDP and makes the country look artificially good on international comparisons, but this is fairly well known, I believe. Irish economic commentary often uses GNI instead, and in fact the Irish central bank replaced GDP with GNI for its own measurements of the economy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_gross_national_income.)

It'll probably just be "Windows" and will continue to be updated every 6 months like Windows 10 currently is. I think this was the intention with Windows 10 anyway, hence the "last version of Windows" stuff. I wonder if this next version of Windows is an attempt to throw off some of the bad rap Windows 10's gotten with the "forced updates", unpopular Start menu design, ads on the lock screen, bundled shitware games, etc.
Turley is extremly biased and the whole article is ridiculous.
Even the article that he cites is from "die Welt" which itself is a pretty biased right conservative medium.

I think it is way more problematic how he intentionally misinterprets a survey of 1283 people to spread the constructs in his head.
Innovation is good and Windows will have had a 10 year run. I think that's enough.

Talking about the specifics of the person the article is about is talking about the signal.

Creating an abstract notion of what he represents as a member of the billionaire class is talking about something entirely different, and something that is distracted by notions of class warfare, social justice, and a thousand other emotionalized predispositions. It's less accurate and less useful if you care about judging an individual as an individual.

I strictly run Debian Stable on my own servers but, they're low in numbers (office uses CentOS, because we need to), and I use unattended upgrades on these small servers. At the end of the day, I don't touch them unless I have to (because updates restart services most of the time anyway), but I understand your point completely.

I'm not against only back porting serious security fixes only (since both time and resources are limited, and a good trade-off is always the best choice). Just it did occurred to me that I didn't wrap my head around the details of this particular subject.
