I can't say for sure what the deal is with GTK3, but GTK4 apps are GPU accelerated and should be faster. Though it may come at a cost of using more GPU memory, depending on the app.

Ok, we've added critical moments to the title above. That seems to be the hedge in the subtitle.
Unfortunately, the $100 price tag puts the Pi 4 in an awkward place: Not cheap enough to be a hobbyist board, not powerful enough for "serious" things. To me, that's extremely unfortunate, because I think many, many more people need a cheap, underpowered board they can tinker with than need a PC with some exposed GPIOs.

Not quite, there are far more aggressive licenses on repositories on GitHub, such as SSPL, which in theory by providing the SSPL licensed code, Co-Pilot should be open sourced under the same license to comply.
A safer way of doing this is just using the electricity to run a desalination plant.

Solar and growing food aren't exactly apple to apples. One has no moving parts and doesn't require moving a natural resource for it to work. Maybe if you argued about hydroponics in the area using solar to power the lights inside the building and AC, but growing food in a desert where water is scarce by taking it in insane volumes from another place just doesn't make sense to me.
Okay, well your (wrong) semantic argument that "GMM violation = UB" is irrelevant, so I'll stop arguing against it other than hinting that there is not one single mention of the word "undefined" in the GMM spec. Back on topic: Go is not memory-safe. Your belief that "GMM violation = UB", where UB = memory corruption literally and by definition implies that Go is not memory-safe. Java (which is where the term "memory model" comes from) is memory-safe, C# is memory-safe. Go is not.

Dilettante programmers certainly do not know the following:

1. Go slices, strings, and interface values are unsafely non-atomic. It's documented on some obscure page (even the spec does not document it AFAIK, which is also broken).

2. What a data race is

Even if they know #1, they will still write code like: modifying a slice within a structure and setting a thread-shared pointer to point to that structure.

Again, most programmers are taught "things need locks, for reasons". At best, they will pointlessly lock things, then another programmer will come "debunk" them and remove the lock because "the thing being locked is atomic". Note how none of this involves any thought of the memory model. That's because they do not know it exists.

As for people who know #2, yes that is enough to avoid memory corruption without needing to know #1, however, they are not sufficiently informed how much data races matter (as executing shellcode is not an expected outcome of writes to your data being non observable).
From the Copilot FAQ:

> Who owns the code GitHub Copilot helps me write?

> GitHub Copilot is a tool, like a compiler or a pen. The suggestions GitHub Copilot generates, and the code you write with its help, belong to you, and you are responsible for it. We recommend that you carefully test, review, and vet the code, as you would with any code you write yourself.

> Do I need to credit GitHub Copilot for helping me write code?

> No, the code you create with GitHub Copilot’s help belongs to you. While every friendly robot likes the occasional word of thanks, you are in no way obligated to credit GitHub Copilot. Just like with a compiler, the output of your use of GitHub Copilot belongs to you.

While you may be right, that contradicts what Microsoft has to say.
Well if the bureaucracy catches him then I guess it is not that incompetent after all. Anyway if I was a business leader there is no way that I would want to renew this kind of contractor. His job is to do contract engineering not complain about what he thinks are organisational failures in a public forum. This kind of complainer is typically entitled and does not have a good work ethic or work output. If he thinks Intel is such a bad organisation then he should seek work elsewhere. These are the same kind of people who want to "work" full time from home for 4 hours a day.
You can already see this in younger kids who haven't touched a proper computer but use a tablet or phone every day. Though, I think most will be fine as they grow older, with PC gaming and school at least.

> “Who cares? Do you even care? I don't think you do“

> “ The goal was never to make a desktop with no features”

Wow, your first paragraph you accuse people of lying at worst, or capriciously taking a position that doesn’t matter to them at best. It gets better in paragraph number two where you misquote GP and go boxing with that strawman.

So to address your first paragraph, I’d say people here care a lot, and the bashing they do is not out of a place of tribalism, but out of a place of constructive criticism. Most of us here would LOVE to see improvement in $ArchEnemySoftware, and the failures strike deep because this stuff means so much to us. A mixture of disappointment with the status quo, and/or poor judgement calls with design or execution, rather than knocking a bit of tech that doesn’t appeal to us.

As for the second paragraph, GP didn’t say “no features” in reference to GNOME, but decried the basic features that were removed, thereby rendering the software less useful to them.

I’d take a brighter outlook on discussions like these, if the points land on the right ears, perhaps positive change might happen in GNOME. We can hope anyway.

So did the American legal system.
Yes, but those sources, in many cases, are also source of the Nile. I mean, as a matter of hydrology, it's a basin. Unless you're implying that they can only take 12% of the flow of Nile tributaries, but would be free to take 100% of the flow from lakes that feed the Nile tributaries? Somehow, I don't think that's what the colonial treaties meant. I'm pretty certain any draw down of flow from Lake Tana for instance, would also violate the treaty. Definitely any draw down of flow from Lake Victoria would be a violation. There's no way the Sudan and Egypt would be OK with that.
Ethiopia was the only country that wasn't successfully colonized (barring brief Italian occupation). It really is a shame that their government collapsed in the 70s.
I have the same question. The longer I've used Linux as my main OS, the less I've needed a desktop environment. My setup for the last half-decade has been basically the same as yours, and I've found it to be more productive than KDE/GNOME (or Windows or MacOS) ever were.
It is hard to make this requirement because then there is a whole set of ideas that cannot be referenced. It would close off the community that imposed that rule. In the past people have cited Geoffrey Hinton's slides for a concept origin. I don't think it is good to limit citations. Credit is important.

But it would be nice to see some rules on forums that say you cannot post paywalled items there. It would hopefully give more incentive to authors to not publish paywalled articles.

But I think a reviewer strike is a better solution that can result in a complete shift away from paywalls. The market is exploiting free labor, so without the free labor the business models must change.

Agile Programming with ADHD
There are three factors at play: population size, population lifestyle, and efficiency of resource use.

It is customary to completely ignore population size as a factor, as long as lifestyles or resource use could be more eco-friendly (commute with bicycles, rebuild infrastructure to make that possible, re-zone cities, change diets, make industries and farming greener, etc..)

This is the case even though those large, society-wide transformations would take decades, and even while the population is actively being increased by immigration (most of the developed world has had below-replacement fertility for decades, so birthrates are not a factor).
But carbon in steel is in steel, not the atmosphere, so we don't mind, no?
> A heat pump in the winter is literally just air-conditioning the outside, and produces similar condensation in the unit outdoors.

It produces condensation, yes, but the total heat transfer spent on that condensation is still pretty small, because now the condensation isn't removing moisture from the inside air, it's removing moisture from the outside air that is blowing past the heat pump's outside heat exchanger. So the amount of water vapor being condensed is only based on the difference between the ambient outdoor air temperature and the temperature of the outdoor air just after it's blown past the outdoor heat exchanger, which might only be 5 degrees C or so--say -10 C (ambient) to -15 C. From the Engineering Toolbox [1], that's 0.00231 - 0.00158 = 0.00073 kg/m^3 of air. With a latent heat of 2.6 x 10^6 J/kg (since we now have to count the latent heat of both condensation of vapor to liquid and freezing of liquid to ice), that's about 1900 J per cubic meter of air. So it would take about 5000 cubic meters of air being blown past the outside heat exchanger for the heat transfer due to ice formation to equal the heat transfer to heat up the inside of the house from -10 C to 22 C (which I calculated in my previous post a few minutes ago). I don't know the exact outside airflow of a heat pump, but that seems like a lot more outside air than would be needed for the necessary run time of the heat pump for that amount of heating.

[1] https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/maximum-moisture-content-...

> As far as I can tell, the cost of running a heat pump is basically the same no matter which direction you're running it.

Not in terms of heat transfer, no; comparing the calculations in my previous post with the above, it should be evident that it makes a big difference which heat exchanger is doing the condensation of water vapor (inside or outside).
Each of these can be subdivided to eight decimal places. Lots of room to accommodate transactions on the order of $$ to $$$ for a while.

Fire lookouts: The US Forest Service lookouts watching for fires
American population is driven solely by immigration, given that the average fertility is far below replacement.

If you don't want one billion Americans, then you need to propose and support:

- Ending refugee programs and withdrawing from the UN convention on refugees

- Sending refugees back to safe countries

- Building walls along the southern border

- Ending the H1B visa

- deporting illegal immigrants already in the country

- Disallowing citizenship by birth

- Ending chain family migration

The bigger issue here is that Americans are moving out of States with huge pension bills, into 'younger' states with lower taxes and fewer legacy costs. Its basically a death loop playing out at an inter-state migration level.

The demand for coal in India is not projected to drop anytime soon. This is has nothing to do with the financial viability of coal power viz-a-viz other sources.

This is a combination of multiple factors

- Indian coal is pretty poor quality and has lower energy density, imports could be better economically for power plants.
- The true cost of mining with all the regulation and corruption is making imports cheaper for many plants.
- Major mining players are grappling with huge debt and do not necessarily have the ability to take up new projects
- Coal India a government owned entity controls most of the market and transportation is dependent on Indian Railway also fully government owned, other contracts/ services have to be also favorable/in-place to make a mine viable
> Co-pilot can be sued for copyright infringement in specific cases

No, it can't; Copilot isn't a legal entity that can be sued.

Also, “can be sued” proves very little. Any actual or potential legal person can be sued for anything.

“Is actually legally liable” is what you need here, and it is at best speculative that Copilot ever creates actual legal liability.
It depends on the position, TE are probably less than tech sector, but salary for PhDs in basic sciences are great in government (ie, biology PhD starting at gs12/13 is $120-150k).

So if you want to do “science” then a government job is likely one of the highest paid jobs you can get.
Yes, and this is only one of the sources of the Nile.
I'm not accusing anyone of that and I'm not misquoting, please stop with this hostility. In my experience, people are happy to switch when it suits them. By "no features" I was referring to those basic features. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Self-hosting vs. Managed Services: Deciding how to host your database
This is such an awe inspiring story, and at the same time it made me sad.

It reminded me of the story of a young Rwandan girl who was about the same age as those trapped boys when she and her family escaped to the Congolese jungle … I can’t remember her name but she ultimately survived and has become a public activist.

She tells her story now frequently and I remember her saying that she though the entire world must have suffered some catastrophe because no one was coming to save them.

Later she found out it was just because no one really cared enough to save them.

Imagine if we treated all lives with such value, and applied the same heroism and bravery to their rescue.
Not sure how much coal you really need. Sure steel is an iron alloy with carbon, but most coal in a steel mill is used as a reducing agent. Hydrogen can be used instead. Or you can use electrolysis to reduce which is even more efficient.
Kubernetes Operator Roiergasias for MLOps workflow
This kubernetes operator is meant to address a fundamental requirement of any data science / machine learning project running their pipelines on Kubernetes - which is to quickly provision a declarative data pipeline (on demand) for their various project needs using simple kubectl commands. Basically, implementing the concept of No Ops.
The fundamental principle is to utilise best of docker, kubernetes and programming language features to run a workflow with minimal workflow definition syntax.

It is a Go based workflow running on command line or Kubernetes with the help of a custom operator for a quick and automated data pipeline for your machine learning projects (a flavor of MLOps).

To be a bit more cynical, it was the frackers and gas pipeline builders who pushed the technology against environmental concerns which doomed coal economics more than renewables.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_of_the_Un...

The US pioneered fracking, and Europe built pipelines from Russia. Renewables are part of the story, but you give way too much credit to environmentalists. The next frontier is energy storage, and the engineers and capitalists don’t pay much attention to the environmentalists, much like the frackers before them.

> My personal electric bill with my heat pump is also about 2x as expensive in the coldest winter months (heating from 25°F to 70°F = +45°F) as in the warmest summer months (cooling from 90°F to 70°F = -20°F).

What is the typical humidity at 90 F where you live? As my previous calculations showed, that makes a huge difference to the heat transfer required. From the costs you give, I suspect your area is not very humid (say 50% RH at 90 F, vs. 80% or 90%, which is more typical in a hot, humid climate).

For a home, there are also other significant variables, such as how much sunlight vs. shade your home gets, how well insulated it is, how often you open the doors and windows, etc. Those variables can affect heating and cooling differently, which makes any comparison harder.

Gross. Dams are renewable energy, but they’re not “clean” energy. Their environmental catastrophes both upstream and downstream.

The world will be a better place when we abolish dams and replace them with actually clean energy.

Where has so much less regulation around coal mining that local production is being undercut?

Can't tell if the author is referencing this or it's a coincidence, but 25 years ago there was a RISCOS machine popular in schools in the UK with a plugin x86 card to boot Windows 3.1 and run other IBM PC compatible software. Acorn Computers, the Archimedes range of desktops, and the card was from Aleph One using a Cyrix 486 chip. When Acorn was broken up, ARM Holdings was one of their subsidiaries which carried on.
