Thanks, fair enough.

> We want more of such users. We want more casual users who, during their Emacs journey will get encouraged to start tinkering and then become programmers.

Yeah, I do see that view. I just wonder whether we need to make some tough decisions in order for emacs to survive. Specifically: although emacs is wonderful for tinkerers and non-programmers, what it actually is is a lisp execution environment powering a text editor. When described like that, it's pretty clearly a tool for programmers and expert / adventurous ones at that. I think it might be best to embrace that: it's great for others to join the ride but, sadly, not the raison d'etre of emacs. Better to focus on making it very, very, good within a well-scoped area.

> MacOS is already supported, as I understand.

Stallman et al. have refused to accept into core various patches that are required to make Emacs great on MacOS. For example, native MacOS SVG rendering software is not supported. This is why the Mitsuharu emacs-mac fork [0] exists and is so loved. The reason they've refused to accept those patches is because their inner 14-year olds don't like "companies that make money" and so don't want to accept patches that give "for profit software" an advantage over "free software".

> Github/Gitlab advice zounds nice, but we have to zoom out on this. Using Github/Gitlab sounds nice, but it locks you in. Besides, Email is ubiquitous.

I guess we have to agree to disagree there. My claim is simply that PRs are a technological advance over email review. The fact that Emacs uses non-PR based development makes me not contribute to them. Emailing patches is absurd: a patch is a thing that exists in a code lineage; it has a parent; it's not an entity in its own right. There are many things that are ubiquitous but not the best choice!

Yeah, I was the same way. I also used a non standard keybinding which might have a longshot at helping you.

The idea was that halving strafe left and strafe right on separate fingers and similar things was wasteful. So instead I set up each of the 3 strafe dimensions on R/F, E/D, W/S, and roll on Q/A. Between that and using a joystick/trackball I could control all 6 dimensions simultaneously quite easily. So yeah no auto leveling and much better ability to surprise your opponent with unexpected movements.

Even though I didn't get disoriented in game, one thing I did notice is when I played a long session, if I then went for a drive for whatever reason I had a slight feeling of vertigo. So I learned to chill out for a bit after a Descent binge.
Apologies for the silly question, but what’s so difficult in adopting v6? Cloud providers spend billions on new hardware every year, I’m honestly surprised at reading that some of them don’t fully support it yet? Is there some specific technical issue preventing them from mass adoption?
It depends. If you wan't to run linux, then on your location. If you want to run Windows, i can't help you. As others have allready mentioned, take a look at System76 if you reside in the US. Another option would be https://puri.sm/

What's up with complete unavailability of T14 AMD Gen2 at northern europe?

Interesting - my friend, without being particularly charismatic, is indeed very likable and has worked with some of the people involved for decades.
Disappointing that cancel culture has actually stopped you from educating us on a topic I would be interested about. I knew this was bound to affect me personally some day but I didn't know how to tackle it.
Checking the images you upload to icloud against a database of CSAM image hashes is what Apple is updating people’s phones to do. I actually don’t really see the issue and I don’t think the average consumer will care about this one bit. apple has always been able to see your icloud backups in plan text anyway
Yep. I've had my X1 Carbon for eighteen months and keep receiving firmware updates via lvfs. Every piece of hardware, fingerprint reader included, works flawlessly out of the box with Fedora.
I wrote more in another comment, at the risk of getting canceled. I just don't understand why noticing trends and things about other people is racist. Most things I noticed were things I was jealous of. All people aren't the same, no matter what people push for.

One can encrypt a picture before uploading it to the aforementioned services, and as such nothing would really happen. That’s not a possibility on pictures taken on iPhones that get uploaded to iCloud.
About 6 months ago my wife and I moved our cell #s to a VoIP provider, canceled our cell plans, and flipped our phones to airplane mode. (WiFi/BT but cell modem is off)

Offline maps can lead us to free WiFi hotspots when we need it, but otherwise when we are out and about we are forced to live in the moment .

When we do need to look something up in a store or whatever we connect to WiFi and deal with it, because we still have functional phones. They are however limited as they run CalyxOS so there are are only webapps and open source tracking-free F-Droid apps. No intrusive profit-driven social media algorithms trying to manipulate more of my attention away from me.

Also battery life in airplane mode is over double.

When we want to waste time Iwestill do, but I am intentional about it. We have media center PCs, laptops, and desktop workstations but they don't follow us around.

It has been a major mental health win, not to mention a privacy win as our location can't be logged and sold anymore. And saving like $100/mo on 4G plans.

Depends what format you have it in now. 160kbps opus is transparent for almost all music. That's 1/5 the space of a FLAC collection, or 1/2 the size of 320kbps mp3, two other popular ways to store music without noticeable loss in quality.
> I'll -never- forget how they cry, it's so different than Americans. Haunting really.

How do "Americans" cry exactly? Perhaps the Americans you know, or what you've seen depicted in movies, but you can't generalize about all Americans, not at the least because that term isn't defined at all by things like how people cry.

> They are the friendliest, and by far the most spry people.

I'm sure you meant nothing but the best, but using superlatives, even positive sounding ones, to describe an entire population, especially one as diverse as those of the Philippines, echoes colonial perspectives that denied the cultures that they subjugated the right to be complex.

It's akin to how white Americas would often essentialize blacks as inherently rhythmically or musically gifted, ostensibly as praise, but in doing so casting them as incapable of doing things that whites did.

I have no doubt that your own personal experiences with them are as you describe, but they are just that - your experiences, and not generalizable.
Yes, we’re all zombies
Designing an interface layout by drag and drop has been around since basically the beginning of GUIs. It's not "no-code", it's just defining the interface in a standard way as data.

People have tried from time to time to make a programming environment to appeal to, that is graspable by, people who are allergic to entering code in a text editor. Sometimes it looks sort of like "programming" by drawing a flow chart.

And it generally, as far as I know, either fails to be easy enough for most people, or makes anything complex horribly cumbersome.

As I said, Power Automate is a (horrible) example.

"a visual programming language (VPL) is any programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually."

"The Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual J# etc. languages of the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE are not visual programming languages: the representation of algorithms etc. is textual even though the IDE embellishes the editing and debugging activities with a rich user interface."

As I understand the principle, the sugar/salt balance and ratio help the liquid be absorbed quickly into the body. The goal is an ~isotonic solution.

My rationale is that the recipe should be free-standing and not presume other feeding. If that's a consideration, it's not part of the baseline assumptions and formula.

My principle beef with the suggestion I'd replied to is that it has far too much salt, more than I've seen suggested in any other sources I've run across.
> I got an X1 Extreme, went to switch the graphics from Hybrid to Discreet in the BIOS to install Linux, and immediately bricked it. It was a bug.

See, you should have picked the "Discrete" option instead. Happens to the best of us!

(Apparently there is a workaround where you can remove the hard disk from the machine to make it easier to enter BIOS, then trigger the "Reset to factory defaults" and "Save and exit" options by blindly pressing the right key sequence on the keyboard. It might or might not work for anyone experiencing this.)

I too have a near photographic memory, and although I can feel it slightly decreasing with age, I experience all of the things you mention above.

One other downside I have had is that it can be enormously frustrating when you can remember conversations perfectly - word for word, exact tones, even the time, day, weather, clothing during the conversation, and you deal with people who say “I never said that”

It’s like actually, you bloody well did and I remember it exactly.

Then if I tell them I have perfect recall, and then say the conversation exactly, you said “x” and I said “y” and you said “z” like that - a verbatim reproduction of the conversation - suddenly Im the bad guy - nobody ever says sorry, they just argue more or debate interpretation.

I’ve been reading Cicros books and that has helped me with delivery and better social integration

But I do feel a definite pang of frustration and a burst of anger when people even forget that I have perfect recall!

Ok rant over

One positive of my memory has been remembering source code, I seem to have an easier job reading an entire codebase and keeping all the classes, interfaces and data structures in my working memory, so I seem to have a much faster ability to get started, and also I seem to be able to handle large refractors easier than other programmers - am I am enormously grateful for this gift, and know it’s largely luck that I have it and I try and help other programmers as much as I can - I’ll offer to do the large refractors or hunt down those weird, difficult bugs.

So yeah, like the poster above says, blessing and curse
Zara always stays one step ahead
Well I was referring specifically to debian and to PHP. Does VSCode really not compile on debian 10 or 11? I find that a little surprising. But yeah I agree that installing newer dependencies like glibc for VSCode would certainly be a hassle. I can't really speak much to that though since I've never used it.
This seems similar to being able to read your own handwriting, when others can't. If it's an important recording, someone else should listen, and it would be better to verify a transcription.

I have to say I find it extremely bad form to write like this hear suggesting you are an unrelated party, while in fact you are the bug reporter who didn't reply when asked if the bug still persists. At least be honest about your involvement in this issue.

I also dislike how your post is written to suggest that this was how the maintainer is closing many bugs, except you give one example which is your bug. This seems more like you are on some crusade because you don't like how your bug was handled.
Why is Afghanistan falling to the Taliban so fast?
You misunderstood what I said.

I think you are well intentioned, but your choice of descriptive language, superlatives and broad characterizations echo the language used by less well intentioned people of the colonial era, which is why it comes across the way you yourself described it.

If you read colonial ethnographies, you will find descriptions written in the same tone.

> If you can't tell a difference between an American and Filipino cry, you have no business refuting anything

It's entirely unclear what you mean by American here. Big diverse country after all.
Ask HN: Are there any good discussion forums left?
When most people think of a forum, they probably think of Reddit. But Reddit is a news aggregation site, not a discussion forum. It is constantly pushing new content, old content is not meant to be consumed, and it is also not meant for meaningful discussion. This is reflected in the awful search feature, upvotes, etc.

A kind of site that was probably well known to most in the early 2000s and later was the forum. Threads could go on for years, and responses could be incredibly in depth.

Are there any active sites like that today?
I’m still waiting for the behind-the-scenes book. When I mentioned this to them a few months ago they were all too happy to refund me which I thought was weird, but I declined.

"How much to drink" depends very much on circumstances. Giving a specific quantity benchmark is bad practice.

Drink if you're thirsty. Drink if your urine is limited or dark for no other apparent cause. (There are both dangerous and benign reasons for coloured urine, including internal bleeding (deep brown, very bad) and excess vitamin B (harmless, bright yellow), again, general guidance is difficult.)

An isotonic solution is most recommended where you're already dehydrated and are trying to re-hydrate rapidly. Under normal circumstances, it's not necessary. Drinking more than a couple of quarts / litres at a time (say, within 10 minutes) is probably excessive, and if you find yourself doing so you may have other problems.

Recommended daily sodium intake is < 2,300 mg, with an "ideal limit" of 1,500 mg/dy, though again this depends very heavily on circumstances.

https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-s...

If you believe what I read on the Intertubes, a person can sweat out nearly 1,500 mg of salt in an hour (1,300 here).

https://bikehike.org/how-much-salt-is-in-sweat/

Under most reasonable / normal conditions, we're again at a couple of litres of isotonic solution, though again, this can vary considerably.

Under heavy exercise I can easily drink 2--3 litres of water in a couple of hours, but that's with profuse sweat. I typically don't drink an isotonic solution, though I may mix up some in one of my two bike water bottles, or as an after-workout drink following a gym session.

> That is despicable on Dell’s part

Meh. It was well known when I bought one so it's not underhand and I find it a pretty irrelevant feature anyway. Ubuntu logs-in very quickly so using a power button finger print reader is a more convoluted gesture to me than putting hands on the keyboard. It would need that newer feature that caches the fingerprint from the power-on event to be worthwhile.
Have you considered a Framework? frame.work, mostly open, modular laptop
There are multiple versions of the XPS 13 and XPS 15.

Most are Windows based. Only the “Developer Edition” of the XPS13 is sold as Linux compatible and everything on it works with Linux.

Mine lacks a fingerprint reader because Dell couldn’t, at the time, get the OEM to provide decent Linux support. So they just left that out of the build.

The other Windows builds are not sold as Linux compatible so if you go that route you’re not getting any guarantees things will work.

For 15” laptops you have to move to Dell’s Precision line for Linux compatibility rather than the XPS 15.

Seems poor marketing to me. They should have a line where all the models are linux compatible and it would much easier for consumers.

> IE had a far better and faster rendering engine than anything else did at the time, with more extensive CSS and JS support.

Faster may be, but certainly not more extensive CSS support.

I vividly remember that I desperately wanted to use plenty of CSS features that worked in Mozilla/Netscape and were part of the standard, but there was no hope at ever using them, because IE was the market leader and after IE 6 Microsoft didn't bother to implement anything for many years to come.

Step 1. Hello World

Step 3. Types

Step 7. Arrays

... on and on. This is a disaster recipe that 90% of the books, tutorials, etc follow. This is perfectly ok for a reference book but doesn't do anything to teach people how to program.

Programming language is tool to solve problems. Without a problem, you're loading people with dry concepts that don't stick in the brain. In fact, this is the same crap in Electrical Engineering classes as well - not one engineer in my class could tell when to use a BJT vs. a MOSFET. They all know the characteristics, how to compute the gain, etc. but not the practical aspects of why it exists and what problem it solves. Anyways, programming needs to be taught in a project oriented fashion with optional reference books. Teach them what happens if you hardcode a "loop", write repetitive code and then try to show what for-loop does. You gotta get into the brains of the pupils and imagine them asking "But why!?".

It's more like virtual machines. You had to use PowerVM, which would take care of virtual I/O, memory, cpu and network. You were able to split in micro partitions and do live partition migrations. In those LPARs you could then use WPARs, which was more like FreeBSD Jails and Solaris Zones. You had two options for it: application wpars and system wpars. I've used AIX[with all hw ecosystem] for many years as a main driver in a bank, and it was ahead of everything else in the market. Still brings good memories - loved it.
