> Maybe it's different with anything below Windows 10 Pro but that was my experience.

It is different with the "S" Home edition which is what comes with a lot of decently spec'd laptops for typical personal use.

I run Pro here and there's a secondary text link off to the side that you can click to make an offline account. That link doesn't exist with the Home edition (specifically the "S" edition, I don't know about the regular Home edition).

In all cases this is with the US version too, which might play a role in what's seen when people install Windows across the world.

>is this intentional correcting of seemingly innocent mistakes actually something that non-cis people care about?

By care about, do you mean "do they want it to be done" or "do they mind if it's done"?

I have trans friends who have asked me in the past to correct people on their behalf privately because they don't want to make a big deal out of it. I do believe it was an innocent mistake.
Chesa Boudin's connection to his imprisoned Weathermen parents and his appeal for clemency has been brought up on HN multiple times.

But not once, not once has anyone ever mentioned why he is seeking their release, as if that's not even relevant.

From the article:

"The move comes after a separate request for Gilbert's clemency last week, reported by the Chronicle, that was signed by 45 faith leaders, including Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter, and Mohandas Gandhi's granddaugther. Also appealing to Gov. Cuomo since the prison in question is in his state, they wrote that "We see daily that elders in prison, especially those with compromised immune systems and underlying health concerns, are in grave danger and many have died. For us, like you and your father before you, opposition to the death penalty is a religious and moral principle.""

"New York's Department of Corrections and Community Supervision data shows that in that state, there have been 3,400 coronavirus cases and 23 deaths in the prison system.
Boudin told the Chronicle there are more than 100 cases at his father maximum security prison, Shawangunk Correctional Facility.

""I'm worried my father could die of COVID-19 in prison. He has always expressed great remorse for the victims and he has never tried to deny or minimize the role he played in a serious crime," he added, to SFGate. "There is no compelling reason for my father to remain incarcerated.""

What resources and where to?

People living on astronomical body X will use what they can in place. It's hard to see that anything could be profitably mined on the moon and shipped to Earth (most competitive markets for anything in the Solar System) and Mars is worse.

Even the O'Neill colonies look bad because delivering something to a point in space means spending fuel to stop. (The mass driver probably fits on a Starship these days, you can buy one off the shelf today but it wouldn't last 1000 shots. A plausible catcher is still absent)

Mars is rich in stones, just like the Earth, and it is about as dry, just the water is frozen and underground.

Outer solar system bodies are (roughly) 50% water and carbonaceous asteroids are like Saudi Arabia but with the proportion of sand and "oil" reversed. (A US spacecraft got so much gas that it blew up the sample container!)

Most of what people want is not metals and stones but rather Carbon-Hydrogen-Oxygen-Nitrogen derived such as drinking water, air, wood, plastics, pharmaceuticals, food, cattle and the efficient way to enjoy those is to use in place:

What works is not putting up walls between developers and power users. Linux has no such restrictions and bloated software isn't something I have to deal with on it (I have the option to if I wanted to, but I don't.)

Do Microsoft care about piracy of Windows at the home level?

It feels like they just want that sweet recurring Office 365 and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate revenue, and they'll effectively give you Windows to get it.

Last I checked, you can still use an old used Windows 7 key to activate 10 on a brand new motherboard. They could stop it, but they don't make more than a token effort.

How can one have sub-domains for IPFS?

I thought IPFS URIs were like:

But this site has them as:

I'm confused.
You guide your computer, interact with it and are involved in the process, no? The camera maker is not, and I think that is what makes the distinction here. If a true AGI woke up one day, decided to study medicine and created a break through all on its own then yes, it deserves the credit. But if an AI is being trained, tested, guided, fixed, debugged, re-written, tuned and fixed again until good results are found, the people doing that work deserve the credit. They are the ones who "know" what they are doing, not the AI.
If someone identified a chemical compound which cured Alzheimers they'd presumably still get awards, even if they couldn't fully explain why/how the treatment worked. I don't see the AI solutions being too different from that.

Now, an AI that undertook an independent program of research - that would obviously be different.

So for some quick background, I currently operate a number of Linux PCs. 3 GUI workstations at work. 2 headless servers (one at work, one at home). 2 desktop PCs (one at work, one at home). I also have multiple laptops running Linux (including a Dell XPS with Nvidia graphics), and I have a PinePhone (Linux phone).

I say this from the bottom of my heart as someone that loves Linux: If you have a laptop with Nvidia graphics - don't bother trying to run Linux. The experience is just miserable.

There are two major things in the way:

1) Nvidia's drivers themselves are not very good and present day-to-day problems (like screen tearing and other artifacting), especially when trying to use Wayland (the next generation window manager on Linux). This may be fixed soon, Nvidia has been finally laying the groundwork for better compatibility with Wayland desktop. Alternately, if all you need is X11, then go ahead and don't bother with Wayland, which sidesteps this problem nicely. But if you have a higher DPI display and want decent display scaling, or ever plug into an external display, unfortunately Wayland is a necessity, and currently, it's miserable with Nvidia.

2) Power management/graphics switching is a miserable experience. There is prime render offload, but it's not very intelligent. Which means you have to remember to start applications with a flag every time you want to use the Nvidia GPU, which introduces all kinds of bugs. Alternately, you can just leave the Nvidia GPU as default, but that introduces more bugs (for instance, on my XPS, it killed my audio because somehow the Nvidia GPU took over audio output and after months of trying, I still couldn't fix it). Furthermore, it completely drains your battery. This is something that is almost certainly not going to be fixed.

On desktop, Linux is 95%-99% usable. On an Intel or AMD laptop, it's the same way. But on a laptop with Nvidia graphics, it's just not worth the headache. There's no complete solution, there's only tradeoffs.

That said, I recommend openSUSE Leap as an OS, because I find it's the best of all the tradeoffs. It's very stable, there's a corporation behind it that needs to keep it running. The release cycle is nice for desktop. YaST makes things very easy to manage the PC. The only real "tradeoffs" are that you need to install AV codecs from a community repository, and Nvidia drivers from a community repository (both are easily enabled through YaST).
And some people are simply overwhelmed. In many ways, it was easier to follow cultural development when it was more limited in scope and availability: "this month you'll read this book, listen to this album, watch this movie, and that's it." If you wanted more, you had to work for it, or even travel.

Now there are millions of choices to be made every single day, all at one's fingertips, and it's just so much. Should I read this or that? Which of the gazillion movies and series, on umpteen streaming services, do I want to watch? Etc etc. In comparison, tv-zapping was cognitively trivial: just cycle through channels until you get bored, no need to reason about your wishes and inclinations.
Well all the transactions are public. So I assume you freeze the assets of everyone involved in the exchanges. Then if they operate in a country beyond your reach, you embargo that country or apply other geopolitical pressure - you don't finance local development, or military assistance, or vote against whatever they want in NATO, whatever. Most countries have agreements in place for financial regulation and will gladly hand someone over who breaks a US banking law.

Then whenever you trace it to one of your citizens, you throw them in jail. This would destroy the exchanges, and prevent most people from participating in it (even as a curio).

It would be ultra easy to destroy crypto. If the US, Europe or China bans it for real, it will be worthless overnight. Nobody cares more about crypto than pissing off any of them.

I think all major countries are gearing up for this and it will happen eventually.

If I bought California olive oil and it turned out to be made in France I would feel deceived. As a consumer, If I buy something that it’s named for a region it should either come from the region or say “style” if it’s made exactly the same way but somewhere else. If not, I feel duped.
Java 8 Date/Time API is surprisingly nice. I think that every language should just copy it. It's comprehensive and easy to use.
Excluding the atmosphere, delta vee is exhaust velocity times the logarithm of the mass ratio. The mass of a pressure vessel is proportional to its volume. So if you double the propellant, also tank volume doubles and also tank mass doubles. No clear scale related terms there. Gravity also is not affected by scale, gravity losses are strictly related to mass.

But air resistance is different. It is a surface effect and thus related to scale. It's roughly proportional to the frontal area of the rocket. Hence, if you grow a rocket and keep its shape intact, the air resistance grows only as square, but the other factors like mass grow as cube. So bigger rockets have a smaller proportion of their delta vee spent on air resistance losses.

That's also why sounding rockets are so skinny. Air resistance dominates there. (They are also accelerating faster since they are rail launched and don't have active gimbal guidance, which makes it even worse)

You can think of a medium sized orbital rocket, and then if you shrink it, the only way to keep its payload to total mass rate the same is to keep the air resistance losses same related to the total mass - ie keep its original length and only shrink it sideways.

You have this exact same thing with airplane engine starts. Add fuel at the wrong time and the whole thing either exceeds temperature limits and has to be completely taken apart or you cause a fire.

The most common cause of destroyed engines is exactly like you describe for the boiler, it didn't start the first time and someone ignores the cooldown limits and/or cause of the failed start (e.g. not enough power in the batteries to get the turbine up to minimum speed before adding fuel, try again now with even less power because you used some on the first attempt)
Data modelling in OOP is an exercise in coming up with Platonic ideals, resulting in a hierarchical (tree-like) ontology as you try to choose of the atributes as the categorisation dimension, and leaving everything else as properties.

class Animal
class Mammal inherits Animal
class Feline inherits Mammal
class Cat inherits Feline
...

This is different than just asserting facts with data, which can lie in multiple dimensions.

Is Feline
Is Mammal
Is Fluffy
Is White
Does Meow

The later is a much more flexible data model as it more closely mimics observed (subjective) reality, and is less disturbed when a new (counter-)example is introduced, but is also harder to reason about than idealised categories.

The value of the USD is that it's a currency that can be used to buy goods and services. The same is largely not the case for BTC.

To the extent that any goods and services are for sale with prices in BTC, they are (in my experience) priced consistently with trading out of BTC into some currency (say USD) and then purchasing the product with proceeds of the sale.
> “Near took their own life”. That’s how a news article would phrase it. Suicide is a voluntary action, a problem with oneself. Implying nobody is to blame but the victim and perpetrator, one and the same.

This was not a passive act. This was not a mental health issue. This was murder, premeditated, and with utter and complete indifference to human life, by a site that is widely known and supported by some of the largest corporations in tech.

Cloudflare still provides services to KF despite repeated requests and reports as recently as December of last year. Despite occasional promises to the contrary, search engines like Google and DDG continue to allow them to googlebomb people's names and pollute search results with slander.

This is a site that delights in murdering people for sport, and jokes about "kill counts" whenever one of their victims finally succumbs to their relentless abuse and harassment. Its members deliberately targeted them with endless abuse, tracked down and doxxed family and friends, and even similarly attempted to bomb them with suicidebait themselves, all to completely isolate them from any support or help and make them terrified not just for their own life, but that of those who cared for them.
actually yes, most big pots of money become poorly allocated (from graft, ossification, or whatever), whether via government, market, or some other mechanism. under uncertainty (which, in the real world, is always), we're better off having 10 relatively decoupled, medium-sized pots over 1 large, more easily corruptible pot, in all ways that matter to a society and economy (not so much to politics, the quest for power, though).

the pensioner has no idea how long they'll live, so the amount of money to save for retirement is uncertain, as is the returns on investment to meet that need. this future risk is transferred to others, as the pensioner does nothing to mitigate them, the company through its pension plan does. risk transference is a key ingredient of adverse incentives (e.g., principal-agent problems).

Funny anecdote, I installed Ubuntu on my own laptop to improve my minecraft FPS when I was 9 (~9 years ago).

I googled something like "how to get more fps in minecraft" and the first result was a minecraft forum post to which the only response was "install Ubuntu". At the time, Ubuntu had a .exe installer, so I thought it was just like any other program and installed it to my C: drive along with everything else. I think I did have the concept of other OS since I'd used both Windows and MacOS previously, so I figured it out after the reboot. It did increase my minecraft FPS from ~15 to ~30 on average, so I didn't have any complaints.

I stuck with that laptop until high school, when I got a new laptop and started dual-booting Windows for gaming and Linux for everything else, which is where I'm at now.

When you throw async I/O in the mix it’s no longer just your application you’re debugging, it’s the whole OS with other processes, the OS kernel with these drivers and DMAs, and external hardware that’s not a code at all.

Can be tricky to debug or implement, but when I need that I normally use async-await in C#. The debugger in the IDE is multi-threaded, and does support these tasks.

How do you evaluate energy consumption vs value for society? Some see it this way: Bitcoin has a revolutionary potential to bring the global south out from under the financial thumb of the global north. We can see glimmers of this unfolding now in El Salvador as they implement Bitcoin as legal tender.

Also, given that point-of-source green energy is cheaper & more politically stable than fossil fuels, shouldn't we expect to see greener and greener Bitcoin mining? In fact, China banned Bitcoin mining in it's coal regions and then more recently throughout the country. Meanwhile, El Salvador plans to build mining facilities using geo-thermal power.

This is a good idea. Just have the revenue go into escrow immediately after the first claim though. That could reduce the motivation for fraudulent claimants since the payout is delayed. Also, to minimize overall cost, a creator can pay one fee to handle up to N open claims against them.

Overall, I’m not sure all of this addresses the asymmetric impact since it could disrupt the primary income stream of a creator, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.

Energy use of video services is greatly exaggerated.

P2P likely just moves the energy use to less efficient devices. It might also use more bandwidth since re-transmission is common (peer goes away halfway through passing on a segment so it needs to be requested from another peer).

If a P2P network isn't aware of it's network paths the traffic might also have to traverse a lot more infrastructure than a nearby datacenter (e.g. UK viewer peering with DE, FI and FR peers).

I've done this once. It was OK, but at the end of the day it's like shutting down a highway and letting you bike on it. It's just a huge (from the POV of a cyclist) empty concrete road. I'd much rather bike around the actual city or do a trail through trees with some sights to see.

Basically, it's all of the bad and boring aspects of driving excepts you're on a bike. But to me one of the best parts of biking is that you're not in a cage on a boring highway. It also has big "drive my truck to the gym to do a run" vibes since it's in the middle of nowhere.

That said, turn 1 is a (fun) beast and being around a bunch of people excited to cycle is the best part.
