I agree with you, and I hate it, because Nvidia causes me so many headaches. I've been a full time linux user for a little over 10 years now. I refuse to buy a system with an nvidia card now, because that damn proprietary driver and nvidia's slow moving way of not supporting newest kernels or wayland, makes life hell. I could have avoided some of that pain by sticking with a slow moving or older distro like CentOS, but that brings many other problems. I'm grateful for Nvidia for doing what they do, but I'm pretty stoked for my new AMD card that will get my system back to where I don't have major crashes one to two times per day.

Interesting what the weak point was here.

One way is x86. Intel’s chips have SGX (software guard extensions) that allows code to run in “enclaves” that outside code can’t access. You can send data into the enclave and read what it spits out, but you can’t inspect (debug) it.
That's what warlock does.
I totally agree with this. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like Electron is really helping here. I've been a Mac user since 2003, but built an Ubuntu based desktop recently. The fact that I can run Figma, VSCode, Slack, etc. means it's actually a workable solution. I know Electron is slow, but I don't think producing native software for Linux is economically viable or commercially interesting for a lot of companies. But if a company is building with Electron, I get the impression that it's not a lot of extra work to support Linux and it means the platform actually gets an app. Ironically, I think this will make Linux a more reasonable choice for day to day work and will eventually result in increasing the economic viability of producing software for the platform.
Not currently available for installation via Homebrew for macOS, as opposed to youtube-dl and youtube-dlc both of which can be installed via Homebrew.

However, there is an open pull request for it from just a few hours ago https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/84049

So here's to hoping it'll be available there soon :D
I think there's a huge amount of value in bringing more of the Linux and UNIX experience to the Mac. That way I can still use my iPhone and I can still us Logic and Pages, but I can run a window manager that I can modify and customize. That's just one aspect. It would be nice to have some other *nix features like procfs/sysfs, BSD jails (or at least better chroot support), tmpfs, etc.
Actually it’s only faster for native fs access IIRC. So if you need to access cross-fs WSL Legacy may be more performant.
For the second time on this thread, its because it’s not blended up into sauce! The ingredients are placed on separately and the consistency is not that of sauce! Any more than a bag of sugar next to a carton of eggs is a cake batter!

> practically a recipe for pizza sauce

You're saying it yourself but not absorbing it. The ingredients themselves do not make a final product, in the same way that a fajita plate is not a burrito which is not a quesadilla.
They don’t need to pay out anything.
That's could be part of it, at least for some. However, to me, much more important is the open source nature of things, and not so much that it is free. In fact, it consider free and proprietary to be worse than something I'd pay for, since I assume I'd be the product.

Open source means supporting a collective achievement that is shared by humanity.

I use FreeCAD, not because it is better than Fusion 360, and not because one is less expensive, but because the latter is owned by a corporation that exploits knowledge investment (i.e. Free for students, free for everyone to "jk we just wanted you to invest in learning it")

The same goes with most Linux software. The only exception is the operating system itself and gnome, which I find to be miles better than the commercial alternatives. It's so much better, it isn't even a contest. Of course, the caveat is software availability, which to some extent also includes drivers. But that is hardly Linux's fault, although that detail makes little difference to the end user.

Open source also means, to a much larger extent, the absence of dark patterns. Drivers aren't accompanied by telemetry software with a company logo.
In principle it sounds good, but from what I've heard it is over-priced and far too slow compared to typical IaaS-hosted solutions.

I have never had a problem with this, and I was building and fixing machines through the entire life of the ide standard.

There were always quirks of one sort or another with any 2 pieces of hardware, including 2 ide drives, but I don't remember this being any more of a thing than say, some particular drive with some particular controller or motherboard, or any drive and any motherboard actually supporting their purported channel speed reliabley, etc.

Read the manuals, set the jumpers and cable placement and cable type appropriately, and if it ever didn't work, it was no more likely than any other mystery hardware problem like the mouse not working because of a shared irq or something.

Prop 13 makes it more difficult for rich newcomers to outbid established owners. Has a similar effect to rent control.

If California made any existing rental property only eligible to retain Prop 13 tax status by expanding the number of available bedroom units on the property, the rental price problem would be solved almost immediately.

Yeah, years ago I got deep into this stuff and managed to implement a lot of it for fun, thinking I was doing something original, before discovering it’s not original (in my case, discovering Seq in OCaml). I think treating everything as lazy and potential infinite makes the implementation of operations much simpler than this article’s implementation.

To acquire immunity naturally you have to get sick.

In oder to acquire that immunity you have a 1% chance of dying, 2% chance of ending up in the hospital on a ventilator for a month, and a 20% chance of long haul covid.

To acquire immunity from a vaccine you have a 0.001% chance of an allergic reaction.

Honestly? I don't know for sure.

On one hand, my understanding is that they used TLA+ to validate the model[0]. One would assume that if they went to that trouble there is at least a specification for how it should work.

OTOH, Specifications can be flawed. This security issue appears unrelated to the design of Cosmos DB itself tho.

I knew a realtor in the Bay Area who specialized in selling homes with existing tenants. He had a lawyer who specializes in owner move-in evictions.

He could find buyers properties at a substantial discount and then guide them though the eviction process. Buyers, if patient enough, could buy a $1M home for $800k plus $50k in legal costs/buyout funds.

I do think there's a lot more than we see here, or that any one person can see anywhere. I also agree that ad revenue doesn't really work without substantial traffic. Really, Reddit has usurped many traditional forums.

I tried to monetize an Android app with ads and a paid version. I could never gain enough users. I had a second app with more users, but didn't want to clutter it with ads. Of course that one actually had a decent number of users, but infrequent use (designed for utility, not monetization).
Not that I've heard of; it's possible that someone tried it and it doesn't work for some reason that isn't obvious to me, and then they didn't publish their negative result. I published the idea in 02019 in https://dercuano.github.io/notes/mechano-optical-vector-disp..., but I haven't actually tried it, and not many people read Dercuano, in part because most of it is ideas I thought up but haven't tried.

Reading I've done since then explains that, when anodizing, the anodized layer grows up out of the surface roughly as far as the surface gets depressed, and the anodized layer has a higher refractive index than air, so, for many purposes, you don't need to etch nearly as much metal. (The anodized layer is thin enough that it would be adequate in many applications that normally require a first-surface mirror, though not all.)

It's well known that if you're instead anodizing silicon you can fabricate a rugate filter by varying the anodizing current to vary the density of the anodized layer, that when anodizing titanium you get brilliant iridescence due to the high refractive index of the oxide and consequent strong single-layer dichroic filtering effect, and that there's a negative feedback on the current from the oxide layer thickness in all of these cases, requiring higher voltage to get a thicker oxide; this should also tend to even out small surface asperities, and is not the same effect as anodic leveling. The possibility of including such dichroic filters on the surface of the holographic reflective optics, with wavelength response tailored at a submillimeter or even submicron X-Y resolution, could be interesting for fabricating a wide variety of optical systems.

If you end up trying it, I'd love to hear about the results! If I'm not dead by then. Though I'm sure you have a long list of ideas of your own that you can't wait to try, like everyone else capable of trying this sort of thing.

All this seems to me like a crucial enabling technology for feedback control of machine tools, because light waves don't distort or change their dimensions much when the temperature in the room changes or there's a side load on your gantry.
> It’s important to look at and account for the number of deaths directly attributed to COVID, isn’t it? Is there some discrepancy between the excess YoY deaths implied here and the number directly attributed to COVID? Also would be good to normalize per-capita, just to fully factor out population growth?

If that's important to you than just use Cartesian graph. Polar graph shows better seasonal patterns as it does not cut abruptly at the end of the each year.
I'm skeptical if the problem is technical about micropayments.

Let's assume we have some hypothetical zero fee universal payment platform. You CAN send a developer 3 cents because you like his work.

But now you've got the psychological barrier-- people don't want to think about spending 3 cents, even if they aren't bothered by the cost in the abstract. Then you need to make it a cultural norm-- that sending 3 cents is a legitimate gesture of gratitude and not unintentionally offensive or sarcastic.
This helps explain why they chose blue. Green and red can be difficult to read on a grey background.
debian-stable
debian-buster
debian-slim

Those names are clearly not packages but distros.

python:3.10-debian
python:3.10-alpine

Those names are clearly packages based on a distrop

So why not:

glibc-alpine

This would avoid confusion.

> they make it clear that it is based off Alpine with the glibc package installed

Well, seeing the number of issues opened on the official Alpine bug tracker regarding this package, it seems it's not that clear.

> if Alpine starts going after people for using alpine in the container image name or tag then I now know what distro to avoid entirely.

Alpine starts going after people for misusing the name and impacting their reputation. This is completely normal and understandable.

I think the difference is that you can use other solutions on multiple of platforms.

Whatsapp/facebook is definitely a market leader in the chat world, but they can be disrupted. You can use theirs or other products on your iPhone, Android, PC, Mac, or Linux.

With the hardware vendor, iMessage isn't used because it's necessarily better but because it is a forced automatic sign up when you use their phone.

iMessage IS the sms application. And you cannot install alternative SMS apps. You are quite literally forced to use it if you want to communicate with people with other phones.

Apple does not care about iMessage as a platform. They only care that it is difficult to leave it.

It's why switching to another device causes problems for most. People who were communicating with you over iMessage will still send their messages there. If you have to very manually and very unintuitively de-enroll your number from iMessage.

For the non-technical this makes it appear that other devices do not work at all. They are trapped in the apple ecosystem even if they don't like it.

How fast does demand grow? Does it ever stop or slow down? I know for a fact that far from every highway and road in America is congested: the majority are not. Even many if not most roads in metropolitan areas are not. So you can’t extrapolate demand increases ad infinitum for the current moment.

How can CosmosDB's architecture and design make it possible to have a read-write key that works on all customers' databases? Yikes!
You can actually think of the version number in optimistic locking as a shared key combination. First party to use the key gets to pick the next combination, invalidating any other concurrent copies.

Performance and implementation characteristics differ but the end result is functionally the same as a pessimistic lock, which is why they're both called "locking" mechanisms.
> Apple settled this lawsuit by giving up virtually nothing

Isn't Apple letting "developers...share purchase options with users outside of their iOS app" the whole point of the suit? That's opening up an end around to their 30% cut.
This logic could apply to any profession. You just happen to be on the expert side for this one.

80,000/10,000*50 = $400 rent + $10,000 deposit.

The general rule is $50/rent per $10,000 deposit, however it's up to the landlord. I think my place was actually more like $80,000 deposit + $100 rent (vs. $50). I recall the different options with rent fit the formula, but there was a big drop in rent if it was all deposit and no monthly rent. Maybe the owner preferred avoiding the hassle of collecting monthly rent (still have to collect monthly management fee, though...)

When calculating the real estate commission, the formula is used to arrive at a total value for the transaction. So the real estate broker's cut is the same whether the rent is big or small. And I think the commission is the same whether it's a rental or purchase.

>You don't seem to care about actually understanding the other person's meaning. You're very clearly looking for a way to continue the argument and prove how smart you are, but I assure you as a (former) bystander that you're not succeeding.

That's an interesting, but inaccurate thought. How will you go about proving what is going inside my mind when I engage in discourse? Go ahead, I await your proof that is my goal. In reality, I have no interest in how smart you think I am.

>I tell you this because I've been there and it's not a good way to live, nor is it a good way to impress people.

You don't know about the way I live, or who I've impressed or in what way I may have done it. I never claimed to be charismatic and I don't care about impressing you. It's very rich of you to make presumptions about the way I live my life.

I haven't made any presumptions that you lead a life in "not a good way" because of our difference of opinion or presentation made in good faith on HackerNews, and I frankly find I'm quite taken back someone would be as foolish to make such an assertion. You opinion is duly noted, though I find it unconvincing.

In fact, despite struggles I am very happy with the way I live my life. I find the way I'm living it to be good, and it doesn't require your approval. You are free to pursue your own happiness, and if you don't enjoy my discourse I am not forcing you to engage in it.

I might add, you haven't added a single fact to this discussion, merely your ad hominem attacks on my character. I consider discourse purely driven in ad hominem (living life in "not a good way", wanting to "prove how smart") the hallmark of a weak mind.

>I tell you this because I've been there

You haven't been "here" with me. I'm not like you, and I never want to be, nor will be.

>Read the two quotes at the top of this post, really read them, and you'll hopefully see what I mean.

We live a civilized life, because our ancestors banded together, fought, and died to establish a government that was stable. That's not privilege, that's a way of life bought and fucking paid for. It doesn't just happen, and has to be guarded and cultivated. Unless and until similar costs in lives are paid, I honestly don't see a path to civilized life in much of the world.

It keeps getting proved over and over that first world, well off countries can't pay or train or subjugate other cultures into civilized engagement with the world or even their own people. Nation building is an awful joke of a policy, and at some point people have to figure their own shit out.

There are legal and illegal immigration and asylum possibilities all over the world, or you can take up arms against corruption and tyranny. It sucks, but being born doesn't entitle you to anything unless there's a culture and civilization to make good on those entitlements.

The way that China exercises its imperialism is unlike the West. The West has shrinking populations and cannot colonize with settlers. They set up resource extraction puppet governments.
