And that is another example of the abstract vs pragmatic visions: it hasn't been proved that time is (or isn't) quantized, so we're left with out own opinions.

Seeing that time needs things happening, and things are made of matter, which is quantized, I'm inclined to think time is quantized too.
Every time I use desktop Linux (I've only tried Ubuntu), it's an exercise in frustration simply because cut and paste is such an incredible pain.

I use cut and paste every few minutes.

The keys are not compatible with MacOS - why not? Surely this is an obvious need.
I seem to recall the cut and paste keys aren't even compatible with Windows.
The cut and paste doesn't even seem to work consistently across applications.

Instead of just using the GUI, I have to constantly break my workflow to think about what keys I'm pressing - that's not a great way to enable switching to Linux from another OS.

If cut and paste is painful then we're a long way from desktop Linux being viable for me personally. It seems such an easy thing to get right, but that's the essence of desktop Linux - 20 years down the track and the first thing you do cuts your finger.

I'd be pleased to hear if some other distro has nailed this or if it's a universal issue.
Easily switch? You mean by reinstalling from scratch, or is there another way?

I’d like to know because I am interested in trying different distros but don’t want to have to keep setting up machines.
Sort of. As much as I like Linux, I don’t use it on my own kit. Linux is made for tinkerers, or people who know it’s internals well. For me Linux is always slightly broken.

I guess that’s because the devs building it don’t care that much about 100% seamless work on all hardware; 95% is good enough. But that remaining 5% means I just can’t use it. By contrast, Mac is a non-free, limited walled garden (prison?), but doesn’t need the trackpad be debugged or kernel recompiled.

So here, libre devs’ work is less aligned with my needs than the commercial operation, whose key selling point is seamless UX.
(Not complaining, just saying)
It's funny how it sometimes happens that the scientific or medical community makes a decision. I'm not quite sure how it happens, but once it's done, you need an overwhelming amount of evidence to overturn it. Much more than if the decision had never been made in the first place.

Who makes these decisions, and on what grounds? I honestly don't know.

Edit: But my theory is that it's based on informal groupthink.

Ask HN: Is it worth to look for a job as a team?
I'm thinking about changing jobs. I told some of my colleagues about my plans and they are quite unhappy with them. They even said that they will leave our current company when I leave. We like to work with each other and I think we form quite a strong team of programmers.

So I started to think that maybe we could find a job as a team. There is a couple of pros for the potential employer. First of all, they will get at once 4 programmers instead of one (of course this is a plus only if they are trying to hire at least 4 programmers). Secondly, we already make quite a cohesive team of friends.

I also wonder if there are pluses for us. Of course the obvious advantage for us is that we will work with people that we already know and like. But do you think its possible to negotiate higher salary for us because we can bring more value as an already formed team?

I'm just not sure if there are companies that recruit teams at all? Or should we form a company? Is this the only way to be hired as a team? What are our options here?
PTLDS then
Here's a pragmatic question - do we need large amounts of people who have natural (non-vaccine) antibodies to donate their blood? To put it more crudely, is there a way that everyone at large can benefit from their (unfortunate) suffering?
People could have created a replacement if they cared to. They clearly didn't.
"I'm a realist about COVID and realize that some day I'll contract it. The best I can do is make sure I'm otherwise in good shape by eating, sleeping, and exercising right...."

My goodness, what a remarkably calm and informed attitude. It's a wonder you're allowed on the internet.

By the way, it is theoretically possible that your immune system knows how to make the antibodies, but isn't right now because of the immunosuppressing medication. One strategy might be to only pause that if you get sick, hoping that your system knows how to make the antibodies, and will do so more quickly because you've been vaccinated. But that's just a hopeful guess, of course.

Or you can have a language where the implied `await` is delayed until the information is used, but the initiation starts as soon as the information required to initiate is ready:

asset1 = httpGET(...)
asset2 = httpGET(...)

doSomethingWith(asset1)
doSomethingWith(asset2)

No problem, both requests concurrent, don't have to think about it. They will probably be neatly batched by the executor into a single outgoing TCP packet too.

asset1 = httpGET(...)
asset2 = httpGET(functionOf(asset1))

doSomethingWith(asset2)

Second request has to wait until the first has completed, because this is correct. It can't be started until the first is completed.
Kiev is great. Cheap apartment about $500, coworking around $140, $300 for food with a decent amount of eating out at lower end places.
Inoculation with an mRNA vaccine provides recognition of few antigena (e.g. RBD). The size of the vaccine dosage and the delay of a month between doses is designed to create a strong recognition of the chosen antigens.

Infection's response to key antigens like RBD is inherently more limited because: 1) immunity creates antibodies and T cells that target a wider range of antigens, and 2) exposure to COVID antigens usually fades after 7-10 days, limiting the immune system's time to build further defenses.
Yes I would agree that political views are in general more conservative but for historical reasons I described, not because it is someone's choice (plus strong influence of church 'helps').
It's funny you say this.

The people who criticize Modi are currently at the top of every english-speaking institution I know off. If anything, criticizing Modi is the easiest way to make you way up the ranks of any English-speaking institution in India. Also, please refrain from using Wikipedia on politically fraught matters. It is the biggest echo chamber of them all, in such areas.

I actually had the inverse journey. I grew up in housing the exact same "RSS are Nazis", "Savarkar wanted Aryan supremacy" opinions that get thrown around in my circles. It actually took a LOT of digging before I even started to wrap my head around the level of institutional propaganda against these persona non gratas of the Indian establishment.

I still dislike RSS, but my opinion of everyone in the Gandhi/Nehru families has plummeted. (Indira was surprisingly candid, but went completely batshit during her emergency). It requires painful digging through of first sources though.

Vikram Sampath's 2 books paint the most detailed image of Savarkar yet, warts and all. (https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=savarkar-vikram-sampath). Also, you should listen to speeches given by the RSS head himself (first sources), especially their annual year review speech. It is surprisingly inclusive. It is quite tame for India's Nazis. Urban folks like us do not realize just how much work the RSS does in rural areas on India. It took going to university in a smaller town and meeting people from poorer communities to hear about how favorably RSS was viewed as a social-welfare NGO.

> National Identity Now the problem is that the government might actually not be really into building the one nation, one religion Indian subcontinent presented in the vision (yes that includes Myanmar, Pakistan, Afghanistan) but the millions of kids being trained by the RSS since forever in thousands of schools kinda do want that

> other lower caste people

The BJP has been far more inclusive of the lower castes in their power structure than the Congress ever has. Modi himself is lower caste. A substantial portion of the lower castes are voting for Modi too. Your claims are not backed up by data.

At the same time, the recent Pew research survey shows that Indians highly value diversity of religions and preservation of the diversity and freedoms to do so. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/06/29/key-finding....

It is luck but also having high IQ or high level of conscientiousness. Those people usually have other capabilities, ability to act fast, good social skills, risk taking or whatever else that cause them to succeed. Some of those factors can be learned and improved.

I'd agree that it doesn't matter much within a certain band of distros. Fedora vs. Ubuntu, for a new user without opinions about things like Flatpack or rpm vs. dpkg, doesn't matter much, sure, I agree. Throw in Slackware, Gentoo, Void, and Arch, and now it kinda does matter which you choose. Even Debian, since your software will be farther behind current releases and its preferences about things like non-free software are likely to be something you notice and have to deal with, one way or another.

But, among the small set of relatively user-friendly distros, sure, it doesn't actually matter that much. A generous reading would take that meaning from it, I think.

Why don't they split youtube-dl in two parts:

- The extractors part (all the scrappers basically)

- The cli tool

What would be wonderful is that the extractors part is splitted out, so that anyone can use it without using youtube-dl. That would be much easier to update it too, each extractor is independent, so it is only a question, does this scrapper (extractor) works or not.

The next step would be to have a multi-language format to describe a scrapper, instead of being coded in Python. But no idea if this is possible or maybe that would make things much more complex
People quoting Palantir's CYA response are missing the fact that Palantir's business model is to embed engineers at customer sites to deploy, configure, and operate their software. There is a good chance that the software was misconfigured because Palantir post-sales engineers misconfigured it.

The idea that stocks that never issue dividends are somehow only valuable because other people think they are valuable (let alone calling it a Ponzi) is completely misguided. I mean if a company builds a pile of cash and never distributes it to shareholders it's still very valuable to have a say about how that pile of cash should be spent. If a company ammased a billion of cash there will be many takers to buy it for less than a billion just so they can direct that billion somewhere.

Of course there is also an option of closing shop and dividing the assets to shareholders or myriad other ways of making the assets valuable without paying dividends.

Those kinds of basic misconceptions about financial markets is what crypto evangelist prey on. It sounds pretty convincing to the ignorant but is just nonsense under scrutiny.
Suppose that the government regulates the price of unobtainium. If a transaction occurs whereby 100 grams of unobtainium are exchanged between two parties, no more than a dollar shall be paid by the receiving party, by law.

How does anyone rationally expect that to turn unobtainium into obtainium?

I have 50 grams of unobtainium. 300 people want it. What to do? Lottery? One lucky winner who gets a great fifty cent deal, 299 losers.

No wait, screw that that; for 50 cents, it's not worth it. I'm not even putting that on the market unless they make that a law.

Could you describe the issue more? I've been using ubuntu for years and I've had plenty of issues, but cut and paste isn't one of them. It behaves exactly the same as windows for me.
> The keys are not compatible with MacOS - why not? Surely this is an obvious need. I seem to recall the cut and paste keys aren't even compatible with Windows. The cut and paste doesn't even seem to work consistently across applications.

Do you mean that they're not compatible with a macbook keyboard? control-c / x / v work fine on all of my Ubuntu computers, but I might be misunderstanding what issue you are running into.
I don’t understand this comment, you can select and then middle click to paste or you can ctrl-c ctrl-v… what does not work for you? This does not sound familiar to me (a decades long Linux user).
Elementary OS is the only distro I'm aware of in which the default terminal uses C-x C-c C-v for cut, copy, and paste.

That's why after trying out a few distros back in the day I settled with a rolling release one and truly learned linux.

I totally agree with the "uselessness" of too many distros but not with your conclusion.

There are multiple reasons for linux not being Mainstream on the desktop.

Windows comes preinstalled on 99% of all non self built laptops/desktops.

Installing an OS is not something the average user does.

A neat tool, but YouTube is generally an abysmal source for music. That's partly deliberate (from record labels) and partly an inevitable consequence of recompression with different lossy formats.

Unless something is completely unavailable elsewhere, you'll find far better audio quality from other (original) sources.
I don’t think that’s actually true. There is certainly a very noisy minority that would like us to believe that they’re the majority, but revealed consumer preference does not seem to reinforce this statement.

Consider the street closures during the pandemic for outdoors eating. The parking crowd has screeched endlessly about the traffic and parking issues caused by this, but the majority of the populace love these areas now. A bunch of them are actually becoming permanent.

Similarly, the cute, street car suburbs with high walkability and insufficient parking are absurdly expensive everywhere I’ve ever lived. Turns out people like living places that are nice, and that sufficient parking is a relatively minor deciding factor.

> Businesses seem to have a mortal fear of a horde of shabby developers who can't make eye contact invading their inner sanctum.

That’s maybe half the truth. A lot of developers see their job as only head-down coding and tinkering with new things. They object to meetings of any kind, or any interruption. They don’t want to engage with management, marketing, customers, users. Management excludes the developers, the developers exclude themselves, in a self-reinforcing cycle of alienation and resentment.

Some people want to build everything from source.

Some people want a preconfigured Gnome enviornment.

Some people want a preconfigured KDE environment.

Some people want a distro with the latest version of packages.

Some people want a distro that is conservative about upgrading packages.

Some people are running in VMs and don't need all that extra crap.

Some people want a version that pedantically sticks to the spirit of the GPL.

Some people want a version that is maximally convinient GPL be damned.

I'm sure there's more reasons.
You might be getting bitten by Linux having two clipboards https://codeyarns.com/tech/2017-01-18-the-two-clipboards-in-... . If you use a clipboard manager (e.g. gpaste or parcellite) they can be configured to synchronize the two. Windows uses Control-C for copying and that will for sure not be compatible with, say, terminal emulators (hence Shift-Control-C is very common). No idea about the waffle key.

'Audio files that you download from the internet' could be absolutely anything - a song, an opera, a news broadcast, a test signal, a play... tells you nothing. 'Podcast' gives you a general idea of the medium and intent. That's useful.

Fedora 35+ is the closest I have come to really enjoying Linux. Fedora always seems a lot more polished and less edgy. I cannot really get into any of the other distros for the UI. I like using Debian for all command line.
