> I don't see the relevance. Doesn't physics do the job of exhaustively explaining that behavior at this point?

Unless you believe in God, it's literally all just physics, so the point stands. Rivers solving optimal flow paths is physics. Neurons solving commenting on hackernews is just physics too.

And by the way our physical theories are terrible at solving fluid dynamics problems. There's a reason why wind tunnels are still a thing. It's because that way we can let the real physics solve for what our models can't.

However, I'm reliably informed that we live in a material universe and I'm just matter that somehow started thinking, so therefore physics can explain why I'm posting this. I'm not sure how to get from F=ma to there, but assuredly it's solvable with enough computing power.
Chomsky covered this problem comprehensively in "Understanding Power", I recommend giving it a read. The highlights are: 1) it's always been that way 2) collating news for conflicting or foreign sources is the best way to suss out the truth 3) business news is less slanted but obfuscated in business speak. I still recommend the book over my summary :)

Just buy a piece of hardware that is compatible with Linux and then you get a pain free experience.

I am more productive when enjoying higher IO throughput on linux file system. Windows's program was always unresponsive and hurting my productivity.

Another example is an unknown driver bug could cause Windows system process go up to 100% CPU usage and there are no obvious solution to the problem. I don't think average user like it. They just think computer is generally buggy and accept that. They don't know anything better.

It sounds reasonable, but I think a key requirement of operating like this would be to have solid leaders that will guide the organization in the correct way.

This is similar to the best blog post I've ever read on organizations by coda hale [1]. His perspective of viewing an organization like a distributed computing system is enlightening and highly pragmatic.

Scaling organizations is hard. To scale well, you need to avoid contention on shared resources and continually work on force multiplier type projects.

It is exceedingly rare for an adult to undergo true attrition of their first language when it is the dominant language throughout childhood.

On the other hand, it is very easy for children to completely lose their first language (sometimes in as short as 6 months when exposure is entirely removed).

In this case, it seems that the author was not a Cantonese-dominant speaker from school age, and their Cantonese input was limited, so I imagine the attrition really occurred during childhood. Now, they just retain some slowly fading scraps of the language.

Such speakers are termed heritage language learners, and they're the focus of a huge body of research, especially focused on the Spanish-speaking communities in the US.
I personally draw the line at “I don’t want to form an exploitative relationship with another life-form with a central nervous system.” I’m open to expanding the line to include explorative relationships with fungus, but given the current science I haven’t found any reason to believe any fungus is more intelligent than a goldfish.
Typical lefto-fascist thinking. Disregard for the law and forced imposition of measures based on subjective perception. Well, by the same token you look to me like the kind of person that could commit an act of terror. Let’s have the police interrogate you.

You mean compile all my applications from source myself and bundle them into AppImages? Yeah, I guess I could waste my life doing that.

Or I could just keep using Windows where I don't have to do anything so silly.
Forcing your way into a place to commit a crime is automatically a felony in almost all states. This is true even if the planned crime would be a misdemeanor.
Used to be part of the Win 95 beta and such. It was greatly exciting back then.

Now I'm in no rush to install Win11 whatsover, even though my main PC that I built last year actually has the Asus TPM module (added later) as I needed Bitlocker.

My high end Asus motherboard at over AUD$500 didn't include this $50 module, which is a Win 11 requirement. (Well it cost me that much when including postage).

A pet gripe with Win10: Entering your name as part of a normal setup creates a screwed up username, which is very annoying when using command line paths. Doing an "offline" installation lets you pick your own, but still inundates you with stupid "are you sure" questions and forces you to give 3 kinds of "what's your favourite colour" answers when setting up a password.

The above is so annoying, when almost everything else has gotten so good.

(Very notable exception: The fact that I even have to see the words "candy crush" in my start menu when done, and that Store tries to force you to log in every time you get something from it eg Terminal or Ubuntu for WSL2).

I'm sure Win11 will make keeping in control even harder. I predict this is going to be another failure. Tic-toc, never fails for them.
Most clocks that we can think of involve a clear entropic flow as part of the intrinsic mechanism: an unwinding spring, falling sand, a descending weight, a discharging battery.

But the very first clocks don't rely on this at least not as a principle mechanism. Sundials, early astronomical observatories such as Stonehenge, or simply observing transits and occlusions, don't involve an entropic process. Rather, they track the regular and sustained rotational or orbital movement of the Earth, Moon, and planets. They track the passage of periods of time, but that tracking itself doesn't necessitate entropic flow.

(The light that's necessary to observe the movements, of course, does. But that would be part of any time-based observation, and isn't fundamental to the regular movement itself being measured.)
> Three-quarters of Salvadoreans surveyed in July by Disruptiva, a polling firm, were sceptical of the plan to adopt bitcoin. Two-thirds were not willing to be paid in it and just under half knew nothing about it.

Well that's pretty damning! I know fiat sucks, USD sucks, the central bank system sucks, bankers and corporations are evil, etc... but how is Bitcoin—or any other cryptocurrency—better? Especially in a country like El Salvador, where you're most likely going to get your coins stolen from you by a thug on the street. What recourse do you have?! In other countries, let's say authoritarian ones, the government will definitely send goons to hit you with a rubber hose and steal your coins. Again, what is your recourse?

Unfortunately you have to make a profile right now before you can see a profile page, but I have a PR in the works to fix that. I made the silly decision to have the home page require a bunch of dynamic information about the logged in user to render the page, so I'm working on making it so an anonymous user can see everything too. Should be done soon!
I think the reason to use next is so you don’t have to set all the stuff up yourself. Server side rendering with react and setting up webpack can be really time consuming, that’s why I use nextjs

Why does it matter whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony, if Chesa is going to drop the charge either way?
The fact that I don’t want to roll my own framework.

There’s a slew of features that I have zero interest in building, maintaining, and fixing while I could build the actual product instead.
So people who can’t read don’t have a first language? Education is not a prerequisite for speaking a language. For thousands of years people learned from speaking with family, even in remote communities or distant farmhouses.

The hate is because most felt like you at one point, and loved, and want to love, the products.

Then one day you try to change a simple setting, and realize it'll take ssh and scripts and half a day of tinkering to make a non-persistent change that Linksys/Netgear/whoever does off the shelf, and dd-wrt could do a decade ago.

Or add an additional device, or run the software update, or have a UPS kick on, and everything suddenly breaks.

Also, it doesn't always work flawlessly. Have had hardware issues on probably 1/4 of the devices over 3~4 years of use.

Then there's the phone-home "feature" they slipped in a software update without mention or a way to disable without manually rolling back updates on every device.

That said, I'm still using it. I bought a separate firewall device and run old firmware, but I still use it.

With Next I can take a single component and move it from client, to server, back to client, to static rendering. Or do all three on different pages that reference the same child component. Or have it static-render and then get automatically hydrated with client-side rendering when needed.

Going between each of these modes for a given top-level page is a matter of changing a few lines of code; child components will Just Work(TM) in all of the above contexts without modification.

None of this is impossible to do yourself, but Next makes it absolutely breezy, plus additional features like hot-reloading during dev, code-splitting on a per-page basis, and prefetching of those split bundles. You can also do crazy stuff like statically render all your pages so that the first page the user hits (regardless of which one it is) will get fetched as HTML, but then have all further navigation happen totally on the client side, where the same React code is getting run on the client that was used to statically render all the HTML at build time, so there's no worry about inconsistency.

Frankly, in a hand-rolled site I wouldn't even bother doing some of the fancier stuff Next does, even if I knew how and knew it would be beneficial, because it would just be so darn complicated. But when it's this effortless, I can casually do it wherever it makes sense to (or experiment to find out whether or not it makes sense to!).

Are there companies that would let you take the rest of the week off in that situation? If so, shouldn’t they also make you work overtime to finish some work that you underestimated?

I don’t think these movements have been based on identity but rather the concept of lacking something. This group lacks X, thus we should seek to give them X. But X does not necessarily equal the identity.

What I find heartbreaking in all this identity issue is the ever-increasing number of dimensions. Simple math shows that at about 20 or so there’s going to be about one gender identity per person or two. Which is absolutely correct as all people are unique and beautiful in their own ways. But instead of being able to freely move across the spectrum that is being a “man” or a “woman”, each person would be locked in their own tiny identity. And, as we see, crossing the identity barriers is hard for many many reasons. I can’t see this increasing happiness of people. Everyone is or should be looking for their identity for most of their lives, creating additional barriers on this journey is unlikely to be beneficial.

>After a few days of scratching my head I found out that due to a bug, that specific update [1] can't be installed unless Edge is installed (prior to the update).

Holy cow, thank you so much! Pretty sure it was updating from 20H1 KB5003214. I was stuck on that one. I've been having this exact problem, which is pretty annoying because of the combination of how easy it is to accidentally update and that "undoing changes" takes about 3x longer than the update itself. Looking at "Installed Updates" after the fact it says that it pushed through KB5004331 in mid August, but I kinda don't believe that, as it has been continually giving me this BS; it literally happened last night. Installing Edge just now fixed it. I only really use Windows for leisure, so I was lamenting having to deal with a reinstall, which was what I was reading was the needed course of action.
Here's how it went:

- acquired DO droplet running FreeBSD (minimum build = $5/mo) [5 mins]

- install Rust with `pkg` [2 mins]

- install other important tools (git, nginx, certbot, etc.) [3 mins]

- compile conduit from source [idk, something like 40 mins]

Yes, building conduit takes a long time.

- meanwhile, configure nginx, get certificates, etc. [concurrent with compile step]

- set up daemon to run conduit [5 mins; took me more like 50 mins because this is the first daemon I've set up in rc.d–I'm a FreeBSD admin newbie, so I had to learn a bunch]

- ???

- profit!

All in all, remarkably slick with near-zero hiccups. Most issues result from quirks of FreeBSD that the install instructions don't cover specifically, as they're targeted for a Debian-based install. (In that case, things will go very, very fast because they hold your hand through everything. Way to go Conduit team!)

Federation is working. It's largely just working. Mind flippin' blown. You do have to register on the web client https://app.element.io because something is broken with the mobile SDKs I guess. Once you create an account through the web, you can sign in on Element, Fluffychat, whatever on mobile without a problem.

Again, remarkably smooth setup. This is fantastic work.
The founder of Brave was canceled by the left for his religious opposition to calling gay unions "marriage". FWIW, I voted to call it that in my state, but I have no problem with someone holding a different opinion. That's sorta how democracy works. People get to have different opinions and then duke it out by voting. The authoritarian left can't have that, you must prostrate yourself before the one true dogma completely.
Good to know, thank you
Yeah, I’ve routinely found work on internal tools to be the most satisfying. It’s rare to find product work where you’re directly in touch with users who care, and whose expectations you can routinely meet.

Accessible for power users, yes. Not the average person.

Linux is great and an incredible testament to the power of open source.

But my god, it’s made by nerds, for nerds - which is great for folks like us, but there is absolutely no taste or consistency in UI/UX in any of the distros I’ve seen.

ElementaryOS is perhaps the prettiest Linux distro, yet it is so much uglier than even the perennial virtual corporate suit, Windows.

I just want an OSS Linux distro that’s beautiful, intuitive, and deeply customizable when I want to put on my power user hat. Is that too much to ask?

Humans like having justifications for their actions. We prefer the tool that can do 5 things to the tool that can only do 2. We like charts and graphs because we can use them to justify our policy positions. The trouble, as always, is that when you rely too much on metrics then the metrics become the target instead of the real thing (Goodheart's law). It makes you wonder how many (economics and sociology )studies exist to provide support for policy rather than further science.
