>They use mil-spec parts for that, and you can't buy them at a "flea market".

you probably just don't know what you're talking about. I've used mil-spec parts in my teenage hobby electronic projects in 198x.

The parts in the Mir story were already not available from manufacturer, nor there were any spare parts stores as most of the stuff was already stolen like many things back then in Russia (and many of those things ended on flea markets or sold for scrap). Fortunately, they were able to find those parts on that large flea market ("na razvalah" of old electronics, back then Avtovo was the place https://sudonull.com/post/160488-St-Petersburg-radio-market-...) in particular because the parts were already outdated for consumer use by that time.

I've used Linux DE far less than Windows/OS X, but I've spent more time setting up Linux than I ever have on many multiples years more use of the others. This doesn't even include things like digging into systemd or other supporting ecosystem players. Wifi, Bluetooth, HiDPI, and other common DE experiences are not always consistent with Linux distros and across hardware.

Wouldn't be surprised if I've spent more time alone on Linux just figuring out network file sharing than all other DE-related configurations combined.

On the other hand, I wouldn't deploy software against any other OS (unless it's an app). There's no world where I don't want or see Linux. I'm just not sold on it's DE experience so far.

There is no customization you can make to a DE that saves me so much time and energy long term that it makes up for all the other time and energy needed to invest in Linux DE as a daily driver. Most of my energy seems to be devoted to task-specific regiments, more influenced by that tasks software.

In twenty five years, I've probably spent less than $3,000 on Microsoft products personally. I've got my moneys worth.

I've noticed that Amazon Prime Video is doing the same thing with their Amazon Originals.

I worked in an office meant for 80 that only ever had 35. Room to grow! It was great. Then 30 people quit.

Later I worked in a scyscraper. Our floor was never exactly full, then like 80% on the floor were laid off. Entire teams gone.

Eerie is a good way to describe it. Being more or less alone with so much space, especially when you remember better days, is not fun.

I had the same experience - facilities dutifully kept doing their thing. They also worked through one week business shutdowns. First time, food kept coming too.

Now I work from home, which can be a different kind of isolating. If people left (one way or the other) I'd hardly notice unless they're on my team. (Still prefer the homeoffice overall, but eager to see my coworkers again occasionally.)
Against forking an inactive project? Why?
That's a classic. While the technical stuff was neat, I still remember the line "Despite being around 90% complete, the last 90% still remained to be done."

All the other major services already scan your photos with similar algorithms, the only difference is that apple is trying to do it in a much more robust and privacy preserving way.
Pianoteq is also available for Linux.
I do feel like this becomes less and less of an issue with many of these bespoke apps becoming web apps. Certainly there are still a lot of old native apps that you might not be able to run on Linux, but there are far fewer of these than there were even 5 or 10 years ago, and especially 15 or 20 years ago when the web browser didn't offer enough functionality to build complex, performant apps.
While it's great that Deno is sandboxing code, but I feel like this should be a part of the OS and not the language.
That is not the real Duck Hunt, it's a replica.

Many people here are grabbing their pitchforks about QSBS and how it makes the rich richer. QSBS has a maximum per year rule of $10M. That means you save 20% (Federal LTCG rate) on $10M/year --> $2M.

That is not "making the rich richer", the person has to buy in a company worth less than $50M in value and hold it for 5+ years. This is a pretty rare case and helps people get into the single digit millions, not billions...
I wonder if it would work with this:

I create a list every morning. I'm switching tools from time to time, but the system is the same (currently using Bear on macOS, but trying Joplin for cross platform, before that I used TaskPaper which is really a great tool because of how simple it is).

Try to list all the things I need to do across all my tasks and areas of responsibility, and check them throughout the day. If I didn't get around to something I copy it the following day to the next list. Simple stuff.
The “vehicular cyclist” is very rare. I tried it a handful of times and it felt like an unnecessary risk (ie, death or permanent disability). Way too many distracted or under the influence drivers on the road and all it takes is one to make a permanent life altering change.

A lot of that probably just comes down to Rust and its standardized tooling and static linking. Which, maybe that is the solution.
The issue rarely is whether the content can be interpreted properly, or at least hadn’t in the last few years. There are contractors flagging edge-cases, issues around nuances like photo-realistic first-person shooter video game footage (common) vs. footages from actual fire-fights (banned since the Christchurch attack) so it _is_ and interesting technical question but that’s not what is challenging to improve the experience.

Some people find others talking about their success inspiring, others find the bargain obnoxious, others still feel demoralised by it. Those can be the same viewer at different time. Without a better way to let people express their reaction than Likes, Comments and dwell time, you won’t be able to tell what’s the long-term impact. “Blocking Facebook” is the only external solution, and getting no-signal isn’t going to help Facebook improve. Every idea under the sun was suggested internally, but whether they are given a chance is a delicate question.
Part of the problem with that is that a lot of people thought they had covid but never got tested. I suspect a great deal of those people didn't actually have covid.
The idea behind QKD is that it's secure if you have a MITM proof (but not passive observation proof) channel, even if all asymmetric algorithms are broken by quantum computers.

Of course, this depends on your equipment not leaking extra photons or having other sidechannels... which seems harder than ordinary asymmetric crypto.

But you would combine QKD with asymmetric crypto so that both would have to be broken to lose your link security.

I don't think it's that generally interesting, but if you already have dedicated private fiber between your super secret secure facilities, -- why not?
Parenting is about letting your children find and explore themselves. Not by teaching and telling them how life should be lived. It's a strong 2 way interaction. They must feel guided and respected in their journey of living a happy live. The parent is the soundboard for a child.

> I love my country, but the brain-dead idiots who passed these laws should be publicly pointed to

They are not idiots. They are passing the issue (inability of some people to access housing) from them (the government) to some other individuals.

It's some form of unorganized taxation.
Thank you, I picked it up today. There's a chapter on the calculus of variations saying it has a new viewpoint to offer (with the equation you mentioned, iirc). Going to be a challenge with my background.

It does sound like a startup suits you best. Best of luck with it!
That's true for Windows, but it isn't true for macOS - Apple released its first x86 computer in 2006 and its last operating system capable of running PPC software in 2009 - no 2005 software could run on a 2009 Mac. Apple released its first operating system able to run x86-64 apps in 2007, and the last OS capable of running x86 apps in 2017 - no 2006 software could run on a 2017 Mac (and lots of post-2006 software can't either, because developers were in no hurry to switch to 64-bit builds).

My employer makes commercial cross platform software for Windows and Linux (and in decades past, various commercial Unixes). If you install the 32-bit libraries, you can run our software from 8 years ago just fine on modern Linux. If you also use LD_PRELOAD to replace a couple of C library functions with ones that don't take the `restrict` type qualifier on their arguments too seriously, then you can run our software from 16 years ago just fine too.

Commercial software didn't come to Linux in the volume that it came to Windows and macOS because the users didn't come to Linux in the volume they came to Windows and macOS. And the users didn't come because Mac and Windows mostly just work, that was far from the case for Linux in the late 90s and early 2000s when the total number of desktop and laptops in service was exploding. And these days Linux mostly just works - I can't remember the last time I had to futz with an X11 modeline or a kernel module - but its too late.
False dichotomy. No one is arguing against this feature being put into ios. They're arguing that the owner of the device should be able to control this setting without presenting their fucking papers to apple.

Funny because titanium is actually a very cheap material. I got a 1" cube of it for about $30. I assume almost all of the price is labor for working with it rather than the cost of the metal itself.
Ahh interesting model! Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat, we work with merchants and distributors in Southeast Asia, though different business model.
As is well documented here, it's not intrinsic but it's the pragmatic outcome i.e. 'it's what is happening because GDPR and the state of the web'.

So it's one thing to point fingers and say 'the law doesn't require it' it's another to recognize that's where the equilibrium landed and that at least some kind of problem still exists.

I personally think there's actually a win-win and that we can have our cake and eat it as well, but these popups are a good indication that the laws as designed are not that.
I wonder if that means app developers can now send emails to freshly subscribed users (who are still in the trial period) to cancel their App Store subscription and instead subscribe via an alternative payment provider. Eg. customer could pay 10% less, developer gets up to 24% more, win-win. Maybe the developer could throw in some goodies, like auto-cancellation after the first year.
I would guess 5% conversion is pretty generous and unsupported.
That’s assuming your traffic is free flowing. In city traffic it’s not at all unusual for bike to match or exceed cars’ speed. For example the average speed of traffic in inner London is less than 12mph (in the centre its more like 7).
Side note, I’ve recently switched to Raycast after seeing them advertise an appkit role on HN and found it be a really great Alfred replacement. Not sure what the future business model is but it’s free right now.

I use notion. I create a check list for each day. The next day, I copy paste the list and rename it with today's day. Anything that didn't get completed yesterday just rolls over.
well, with 1k USD in Sao Paulo, almost 5k BRL, you won't do much. For sure its the best city, but I'm sure in cities like Jaragua do Sul, Blumenau and Floripa in Santa Catarina, is way cheaper and with a great live quality. Regarding Rio Grande do Sul, I wasnt thinking about Porto Alegre, but Sao Leopoldo and Caxias do Sul. BTW Rio Grande do Sul has a great game development scene.
I probably would have agreed with you until I spent a lot of time in the Netherlands. Imagine saying the same thing about pedestrians: “I think we should normalize walking among cars. Sidewalks just create the mindset that pedestrians should be separate traffic.” Yes, to do this right, you need more than just bike lanes down each street that end in normal intersections. You need intersections with separate signals for bikes and cars, with no right on red, with grade-separated crossings at major roads. The Netherlands has done this for nearly every road in the country, and no it wasn’t always thus - it was done starting in the 1960’s as the result of a massive grass-roots people’s movement.
Covid – not vaccinations – presents biggest blood clot risk, large study finds
Almost anywhere in France, except in big cities.

Pros:

-you get a free healthcare coverage.

-cost of life is reasonable (again, outside of big cities where accomodation is expensive).

-internet connection is good and cheap.

-you will enjoy a few benefits after some paper work. Ex.: the RSA, which is around 500€ you get with very little conditions (not having any revenue, being at least for 3 months in France, having a regular visa, etc.).

-you can legally start to earn money by being declared as auto-entrepreneur, with very little paper work (also with a regular working visa, and with some revenue cap).

Cons:

-language: better find some friend who can speak the language, especially when dealing with the administration.

-check carefully where you settle beforehand, France is one of the most crime-prone country in Europe (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...).

To be honest, I would not recommend it because of the last point.
This may be true in suburban USA, but at least in European cities, sidewalks are used by pedestrians. You have to be alert riding a bike, but it’s a far cry from attempting to weave through foot traffic. The narrower roads also allow for quicker traffic light cycles, which is nicer than waiting a few minutes to cross your average suburban US arterial.
Could you point me to the 10 Gb ports on the Pi 4?
Nah, I have a swap partition on an nvme drive, and I still get several minutes of unusability when I run out of RAM and low-to-out of swap, while the kernel takes its sweet time deciding what process to kill. It can get pretty frustrating, and sometimes I just don't feel like waiting and reboot. It doesn't happen often (possibly because I've learned to kill things like IntelliJ when I'm not actively using them), but when it does, it's super annoying.
> Of course this approach has its own downside: a program may panic at when dropping an owned value, if it still has one or more references pointing to it.

I wonder if this could be also handled by having a custom error handler available on each created reference, to decide what to do with the "hanging" value, whether to reassign ownership, or invalidate the reference, or panic, or do whatever else.
From the article: "... the researchers are concerned that AI could end up perpetuating racial biases. They are especially concerned that they could not figure out precisely how the machine-learning models were able to identify race, even from heavily corrupted and low-resolution images."

What is the closest thing to a "stack trace" to debug and understand AI neural network output? I'm new to this and curious of where to start looking to further understand how one would reverse engineer the logic or reasoning behind AI output.
Even if my entire workflow were code writing, I'd want to focus on my own code and not on the code and configs underpinning my system

I never responded to them, but they have been the butt of many jokes since.

Good for him. There are a lot of places I've been that I was so sure I'd make it back to. Yeah, not gonna happen. But in a few of those places, I brought something back. One's mostly quartz, one's mostly basalt. With them, I can travel in time.

I have a few of the non toxic ones. I like titanium most since it has a decent weight and doesn't make my hands smell like copper.

Some of them will oxidize and if you want to stop that you can coat them in a clear resin. I wouldn't touch lead even with the resin coating as I wouldn't trust it to not chip off.
> I just cannot, for the life of me, maintain a "work hard" mindset. I'm still trying,

You answered your own objection. One key difference between "smart" people and "not so smart" people IS the ability to work hard. This is a very underrated perspective. No offence to you, but the truth is that for many people, despite their wanting to, they cannot work hard. In my humble opinion, this is __one__ of the distinguishing features of smart people - the ability to work hard and long and with a higher threshold of mental and its concomitant physical exhaustion.
Coulda, woulda. They didn't. And Shuttle cost $1B per launch. That is nuts even by US government standards. That's also why the USSR abandoned theirs, even though theirs was much cheaper - no need for three dozen subcontractors to each make a hefty profit.
This article was pretty comprehensive, including things like the ordering of `foo 2>&1 | bar`.

I would like to offer a small difference of opinion on formatting: I encourage a space after `>` and `<`, before the filename argument. I guess it's subjective, and maybe varies by person, font, syntax coloring, etc., but... I think that both helps the redirection stand out, distinguishes it descriptor duplicating syntax, and avoids reduces punctuation clumped next to each other.

To use one of the author's examples:

cmd arg1 arg2 <myFile 3<&1 2>/dev/null >&2

cmd arg1 arg2 < myFile 3<&1 2> /dev/null >&2

cmd arg1 arg2 \
< myFile \
3<&1 \
2> /dev/null \
>&2

Keep in mind that, very often, the filenames will involve variable expressions (though I couldn't say objectively whether that's an argument for or against the space):

foo hello --today dog < "$InputFile" > "${OutputBase}.js"
