Windows 10 didn't get rid of any of that. If anything it accelerated the rate of new OS versions.

You're going to have more differences comparing the initial release of Windows 10 with the current release of Windows 10 vs the current release of Windows 10 and the initial release of Windows 11.
One thing I didn’t realize we did differently than other parents of 2-4 y/o’s is to order the food presented by ‘yuckiest’ to ‘yumiest’.

E.g. salad/veggies first, then starch/protein, then fruit, then dessert.

If they refuse to eat at any stage, we show them the dessert that they would get if they continued.

We learned that they will eventually eat a small salad with training (for every dinner) and it eventually becomes second nature.

Small children are like pets, if you let them make the decision, then they will eat what they want until they get sick. If you provide a smaller subset of healthy choices, they learn to make better choices as a consequence.
Or be the one that sells the bootcamps, or even the one that sells a prebuilt platform that creates bootcamps to those that are selling the bootcamps. Picks and shovels so to speak. But wait now you're developing software again.
The defining characteristic of cancel culture is harassing someone’s place of employment until the ‘offender’ gets fired.
Uff, I wonder if it's possible to decline the upgrade and still be served Win10 security fixes for a few years. Looking at past Win10 updates which mostly added fluff but never really improved anything I am not looking forward to Win11.
I used to manage solar installations, couple of things:

1. Electrically, solar does feed your house first. It interconnects before the meter and into your main electric panel. The reason it doesn't work during an outage is because of regulations requiring solar to turn off during power outages so that electricians fixing downed lines don't have surprise power from random houses after they turn off the grid power.

2. If you want solar to work during an electric outage you need to install a battery backup that can feed it AC power and disconnect it from the grid during a grid failure. However, you need a pretty big battery to power a full house for a long time so it's generally cheaper and easier to have a gas generator backup if you are worried about this. Batteries are really just good for energy arbitrage purposes these days.

3. There are inverters that have an outlet that works during grid outages, even without batteries (https://www.sma-sunny.com/us/how-to-explain-secure-power-sup...). They generally cost the same
You really thought Microsoft would never overhaul the UI of Windows ever again? Or that they would do it, but continue to call it Windows 10? "The last version of Windows" was pure marketing BS.
I'm only a casual at 3D, but my experience has always been that no two format implementations ever quite work the same way.

Unless apple is proposing to elevate some existing implementation, that already has interop across various platforms, then I think anything they do would necessarily be Yet Another Format.
In short: dependency hell.

Whatever distro I used it is the same at one point in time: In order to run X-n, you need Y-n-1 but Y-n+1 is installed and needed by Z.

Next: sleep mode and or the not recovering from it.

Linux is GREAT for tinkering, love it on my single purpose Raspis, love a dedicated VM/Laptop with Kali. But I will never again switch away from my macOS that just works for the job I need to get done.
There is a three-way mutual submissive relationship between corporations, the intelligentsia, and the mob on Twitter. The good thing is that you can mostly ignore it without any meaningful negative impact on your life. Sure, the syrup product in your local supermarket might now be called “Pearl Milling Company” but you’re probably better off avoiding the extra calories.
Yet again another person with no background in economics that argues against growth.

Deploying the latest build to prod in 5 minutes, while I write a comment here, instead of spending 8 hours typing commands and hoping the DB doesn’t explode, is economic growth. Sending a text to my mother for free, instead of spending a trillion for an intercontinental phone call is growth.

As per the “system” or “capitalism”, I am not sure I understand what it is supposed to be. If I really had to give a definition, I’d say capitalism is the result of some Italians inventing the anonymous/limited company and double entry bookkeeping between year 1000 and 1500. I don’t understand what we are supposed to do about that, and this opinion piece doesn’t really add anything to the conversation. There’s a discussion to be had on income and wealth inequality, but a discussion is not noise, such as this piece.

As per “socialism”, it brought chaos, death and destruction wherever people tried to implement it. Unless we call “socialism” what’s going on in continental Europe, which is workers rights, unemployment benefits and personal hygiene. And that we call capitalism.

I have to assume Windows 11 basically only exists because of pressure from OEMs who want to be able to slap a big mark on the box of their new laptops highlighting that it runs a new OS that your old machine can't run.

And this idea is supported by the fact that Windows 11 is only officially supported on the very latest CPUs for more or less arbitrary reasons.
My plan is to stay on W10 until the 2025 EOL approaches, then evaluate Linux+Proton. I suspect by 2025 I will mostly be playing games old enough to work fine on Proton and not interested in keeping up with every new release.

I wish Greta Thunberg (or another environmentalist like David Attenborough) would say something about the fuckery of how this upgrade is going to generate significant e-waste. Shame the companies that do this.

I say this as a Windows 7 on Ryzen 2 user.
Linux can also run Windows. In fact ironically Windows used to run faster inside a VM on Linux than it did on bare metal.
It's necessary if you want anyone other than programmers and IT people who have a lot of time on their hands to use it. Not only is good UI/UX required for end users, it's also required for expert users who are busy and don't have time for your 25-step installation procedure or constantly dinking around with something until it works.

Actual percentages vary by type of software and user base, but I'd say it's almost never less than 25% of the effort for developer tools, enterprise, backend, etc. software and is probably closer to my 90-95% number for most software designed for end users.

If you want a world where freedom is only for software developers and IT professionals and everyone else lives in a locked-down surveillance panopticon where they don't even control their own data, then maintain the status quo. Personally I did not get into this industry to be a mercenary knight for a bunch of neo-feudal lords.
What required the 400 amp service?

I do like the F150 as a backup power source, but there's probably a catch. I see that a Tesla Powerwall holds 13.5 kWh, and the truck is 115-155 kWh.

Average US house is 30 kWh / day? It sounds doable but not cheap.
> one of the first regulations that make sense: more free market

State regulations dictating conditions to market participants cannot make something more “free market”. They can favor more competition by artificially limiting the advantage of the most successful competitors, but that's not “free market”, which is the absence of market distortion by state regulation, not the presence of only those market distortions that you prefer.

> I like free competition.

No, clearly, you like competition with the leaders artificially handicapped by the State, not free competition. Which may be a valid preference, but don't pretend its a free market with free competition.
Sure, but the $50 pair might just as well be worse than the $10 pair, they just spent $30/pair more on marketing to convince the buyer they’re something special. Then pocketing $10 more a pair than the cheaper but just-as-good version.

Same with the $500 pair.

It’s just difficult to tell if one can’t evaluate quality oneself.
Oh that's good to know. I've since moved on from the dumpster fire of Windows. Let me move the goalpost and desire this for Linux.
These discussions are worth having.

Avoiding the discussions and "forking the frontend to do a different thing" because "omgz rustc docs are bad and rustc devs can't be trusted" doesn't seem too valuable to me (but I guess to some people).

I am from Brazil, and Nokia was smashing it, they had a growing market share, the more smartphones got popular, the more Symbian got popular, not iPhone, not Android.

Fans even somehow ported Valve's Counter-Strike to Symbian, along with a bunch of other games, it was really great.

Then when Elop memo came out, stores took Nokia phones out of the shelf, all of them, 2 months later their market share dropped from 68% to something like 30%'s or so, and next year instead the dominant market share was chinese shitty phones, like hiOS, android with google services removed, and so on. hiOS in particular was hilarious, a lot of people bought it thinking it was iOS from Apple (and to my surprise with a quick googling, hiOS is still a thing).

EDIT: just saw hiOS now is Android based, dunno where is information about old version, there was tons of hios phones here around 2011, thus preadating the 1.0 of current hios, that is from 2016.
I would be really curious to see a long term study.

Based on the short term immediate decline they observed, it does seem like there must be some recovery after the season. Just the compounding effects after a handful of seasons seem like they would be very noticeable.

But I’d also be surprised if any recovery were totally complete, either.

I loved playing rugby, and would be sad to see results similar to football, but I’m trying to be open-minded about the long term results.
You're still working for someone else in the trades. All your clients are basically mini-bosses and your performance ratings are public on Yelp and Angies List.
Overblown? Depends who you ask.

What I've noticed is that it can be highly selective and random in both it's targets and intensity.

See Apple's firing of Antonio García-Martínez while simultaneously employing Dr. Dre and giving him billions of dollars.
Twitter has certainly accelerated it. I recently lost a previously intelligent and talented long-time friend who struggled with mental illness to Twitter.

He only started seriously getting into it a year and a half ago when the pandemic started, but the difference was stark. Gone was his usual curiosity and desire to engage in debate -- his interactions began to simplify into snarky one-liners. And to disagree with anything he said was to invite the real life equivalent of a quote tweet clapback. It's like dealing with a cult member.

I used to like Twitter. I still do. But now, feeling personally the way it exacerbates things for those who struggle with mental illness -- it's hard to not feel like it (and Facebook) are deeply complicit in harvesting mental illness for the attention economy. I was fortunate to not have family members or close friends radicalized by media outlets into becoming insufferable people to be around, but now that my luck has run out, I feel a lot more empathy for the pain so many others have gone through.

There's nothing new about it besides the scale (other media obviously predates it). But society and especially the most vulnerable members are not handling or even recognizing this mental contagion very well if at all.
Truly enjoyed learning about "bread and roses", thank you.

My curiosity led me to the following:

> Seems doubtful that the patron actually believed that people praying for him would help him in the afterlife.

Why does that seem doubtful? There are many people (myself included) who feel that way today.
Where do you get this information? Do you have some connection to the article?

It appears this benchmark uses vectors of a quarter-million, not a million, elements? My understanding is that 4 0N#a redistributes elements of a into four vectors without repeating them, and this is what ngn/k does. The article says a "sample table of size one million", refers to "one million rows" elsewhere, and later gives timings that scale linearly with the number of columns, so I don't think that's what is meant.

EDIT: Oh, there's generation code near the top. In an image for some reason so the Q version is transcribed below. Definitely a million rows. Seems both Numpy's random.randint and Q default to 8-byte ints? Dyalog would use 1-byte integers if the data fits, as it does in this example.

N: 1000 * 1000

t: ([] pA: N?5; pB: N?5
sA: N?100; sB: N?100)
>Using a label to dismiss all messaging of an actor (abstract), as it suits an agenda, is the defining characteristic of "cancel culture".

No, it isn't. The defining characteristic of cancel culture has always been using collective online action to have someone ostracized from social or political circles, removed from their job or professional relationships, etc.

>This is generally a precursor to a bandwagon/snowball to de-platform the individual. This happens when a portion of individuals begin picking a side by taking action, sometimes out of caution.

Correct. that is cancel culture, and that part never happened in any of these cases. Simply calling someone names isn't cancel culture. If it were, every opponent of cancel culture referring to "witch hunts", "pearl-clutching mobs" or "Marxist SJWs" would be engaging in the very activity they denounce by denouncing it.
Wait, being against electronic machines is a Republican position? Back in the 2000s this felt more like a tech literate position with most supporters being Democrats. My recollection is that Republicans under Bush oversaw a significant largest expansion of electronic voting (which probably explains the larger Democratic opposition at the time vs it being some genuinely held principle).

I'm not a Republican but I'm certainly only for some forms electronic voting where it's possible to manually verify[1] (e.g. Scantron). The more complicated machines that print a scantron for you should be reserved for the minority of people who actually need it for accessibility or language purposes.

I don't think that's likely. It would be a suicidal PR move.

If anything is going to shake up law enforcement and regulators it's these megacorps holding things hostage because they don't want to comply.
Are they banners or core values and beliefs about the world. Values are pretty important things to align with.
> This is exactly how regulators should respond to the market abuse of these technology monopolies.

A somewhat faster response would have been nice though.
You'd have a stronger argument if remote work didn't have the potential to increase rural living and exurban sprawl, both of which contribute massively to energy waste and ecological destruction. At least in the US.

Boom cities were never the problem. The problem is commuting, which stems from a lack of housing.

Forcing everyone out of the cities creates a worse set of problems. It means more wasteful roads to nowhere and doubling down on our third-world transportation infrastructure. It means more clearing of wild land, one of the best resources the US has if you've done any traveling at all. It means more boom-bust bedroom communities and vacant strip malls. It means more culturally insulated communities and Trump-like politicians.
The winners of remote work are all fleeing to New Zealand, leaving the rest to wallow in decaying infrastructure and a healthcare system bursting at the seams.
> pretending a place to live is like any other common good is cold and wrong.

Does it help if you pretend that it's not? Do you get more investments into housing, and in the end, more houses, if you consider housing different from other markets?

> Video had literally thousands of commonly used sites embed third party players before we got a standard.

Yes, and now I can right click a video and open it in it's own tab, pop it open in an overlay, or download it easily.

> So in contrast to video no one gives a shit?

It's historically been more difficult to create 3D models than images or video. Now phones have lidar, photogrammetry is becoming more accessible, there are ML models that create 3D from 2D, 3D printers have been around for a while, etc. 3D could be more popular if it was easier to share and display.

> We have APIs to render 3D content (WebGL)

That gives you a GL context, then you need javascript to render the scene and add interactivity from mouse events etc.

> have APIs to load random files from a site what more do you need for obj files?

Something like imgur where I can upload a file and send the link to people, and have it work in their chat client and browsers. Something that makes it easy to add a 3D visualization to articles.

> And what format will you use to describe these Scenes? obj doesn't handle animations or complex structures.

Apple uses the USDZ format in their examples, and there's also the glTF format. But obj and stl files should be supported as well.

> What you want isn't a browser but a complete game engine.

Game engines does much more than render 3D scenes. They also handle image loading, audio, video, network connections, user input... You're right, browsers does have a lot in common with game engines.
WSL Doesn't support CPU performance counters (PMU) or systemd the last time I checked. It's fine for some things but it's more of a simulacrum of Linux.
>What many of these people—the difficult ones, the gossipy ones, the overly gregarious ones—have in common is that they make people uncomfortable. Here, too, a profound generational shift has transpired. “I think people’s tolerance for discomfort—people’s tolerance for dissonance, for not hearing exactly what they want to hear—has now gone down to zero,” one person told me. “Discomfort used to be a term of praise about pedagogy—I mean, the greatest discomforter of all was Socrates.”

Yep. I read this article in horror, even though I've heard many of the stories before. I am someone who likes to think out loud, to play devil's advocate, and who likes to flirt. It seems I should reconsider my thoughts of going into journalism or education!

Honestly, it is scary to see this country go in such a direction. I wonder if it will simmer down in 10-15 years. My theory is that a lot of the accusations flying around (especially with #metoo) relate to things that occurred before there would be proof of wrongdoing, and before people had the support structure and institutional trust to report it quickly. Now that we live in a country where people can feel more comfortable reporting their abuses more quickly, we won't have cases like Brett Kavanaugh, where it's a he-said/she-said from 30 years ago.

To the other points in the article, it does seem to be coming mostly from "the youth". People who have come of age at a time when lots of social norms and forms of interaction have changed, and where Twitter and Facebook have always existed. They don't know a world where, if you don't like something, you just live with it. Now, no matter how foolish it is to expect to never be offended, people can now find thousands of supporters online for any kind of inane qualm one has with their employer, coworker or professor. And it's wrapped in moral superiority.

Is there a country in Europe that is beautiful, intellectual, and doesn't yet suffer from this cultural disease?
It was denounced for political reasons and Trumps doc was probably correct to give it as a preventative. I think it was even admitted that it was given on a hunch.

And no, it wasn't the Russians that spread the misinformation about it either...
The "us" is clearly the people inside the system you're referring to (left / right).

And for people outside the system, the "us" is often both the left and right interchangeably.

Not all increases in economic growth are at consequence of ecological exploitation. Some economic growth happens while also reducing ecological impact. These two things are not that tightly bound, especially in developed knowledge-based economies.

The problem with zero growth is that we would also need to have zero population growth. There are two ways of achieving this: the nice one, where we get everyone out of poverty and people naturally stop having so many kids because they're not poor any more, or the nasty one where we impose limits on how many kids people can have. The nice solution would definitely require lots of economic growth to lift all of us out of poverty (without reducing the living standards of the people currently having no kids to the point that they start having kids again). The nasty solution has only been tried by China so far, wasn't that successful, and has lead to all sorts of demographic problems for them.

We do have a problem with income inequality which should be a lot easier to fix than stopping growth.
> A non-profit charging to cover some costs (event at a loss) might be considered commercial.

I would default to considering anything attracting funds through charging as commercial. The fact they are choosing not to try make a profit is not significant in itself. I'd prefer such cases to ask, and I'll hand out a perpetual (but non-transferable) free licence if I consider their cause, and how they are running it, to be a good one.
This has to happen in the EU too.

In California now it seems like we have an extended wildfire season every summer where no one wants to open the windows due to bad air quality.
I was hoping Windows 11 would be substantially different under-the-hood and not just rounded corners. I know backwards compatibility is Windows' under-acknowledged killer feature, but there is a on of cruft and inefficiency that is included as a result. The typical Windows user is not going to need to run programs from the 90's and 2000's. Why not make Windows 10 the compatibility focused platform and make 11 the slimmed down version? I suppose a rough parallel would be how Apple transitioned to OS X.
It wouldn't surprise me (although I'm not any kind of power engineer) if a world of house-based grid-tied solar wouldn't be a bit of a management nightmare for the power company as opposed to large plants.

I expect we get away with it right now due to rarity.
I disagree. I prefer bottom taskbar on my laptop.

BUT... on my desktop where I use two 27" screens, I vastly prefer having my taskbars being on the "inside" edges where the screens meet. I'm probably not in the majority, though. But just, don't take away my choice!
