You don’t want to be a part of the group and reap the benefits of collaboration and economies of scale? Well then your $1200 isn’t going very far. But you can have a lump of aluminum, a pile of sand and a sheet of glass. And there’s enough left over for a huge pile of books so you can learn how to fab chips, make circuit boards, write your own operating system and build your own phone network. Good luck

This idea that you’re somehow special and exist in a vacuum is privileged and arrogant. You’re relying on other people to do everything for you. They feed you and look after you when you’re sick. And they build these fantastic technologies and work long hard hours and die early just to make it affordable. You got a great deal, the best any living human ever was offered. But the group asks you to run a program you can’t even see so their children don’t get raped and suddenly you’ve been cheated and violated and wronged.
This shit is crazy.

I’m working with a user that’s doing stuff with aerial reconnaissance and the camera sensors they’re mounting on aircraft are usually only 120-150MP. Having a 200MP sensor on a phone really opens up the door to some insane possibilities.
They are targeting users that don't want to install their packages or learn how to set up a new wm or theme. That's simply it. As much as distros and the Linux ecosystem prides itself on its customizability, there will always be people (myself included) that simply want an easy way to run something with preinstalled defaults that matches my aesthetic and functional requirements. Yes, I could install Ubuntu, and then go ahead and install some other packages and a theme. This saves me several steps and they'll presumably keep it updated and compatible with each other nicely in a way that I couldn't care to as an end user with my modified Ubuntu.
If someone in Seattle goes from 200,000 a year in income to 2,000,000 a year in income, do they spend more or less money on Park & Ride?

The word 'Distros' is in itself called roughly a packaging.
What differs is the following:
Display Environment
Kernel
Preinstalled packages
Package manager
Display Server
Build tools
Resource requirement
Philosophy
+ some addition tweaks by various distros to improve experience.

Um, I've had plenty of times I got a UAC (~windows sudo) prompt trying to access files I didn't have permissions to.
You can only mount entire physical disks under WSL2 though, as opposed to single partitions, which makes it a showstopper depending on your layout. (Common single disk configurations like a laptop/ultrabook come to mind)

First, bleach was recommended by the idiot-in-chief, Donald Trump. So that was more or less me mocking him and his followers.

However, the two are not equivalent. The reason is that by far, those who try to commit suicide are in a mentally incapacitated state. People with severe depression - it is not their fault that they were born with that genetic combination, and everyone who doesn't have it should be feeling pretty lucky. Same with those that are in severe physical chronic pain. I don't see how you could disagree with this. It's not the same thing at all.

There are better examples you could have given, like a drunk driver that gets hurt in an accident that they caused. And for that argument, my response, which I have made in this thread to others who brought up that type of argument, if 900,000 people per year were dying of drunk driving, and millions and millions of drunk drivers were taking up ALL the hospital beds, the f-ck yes, put them as far down on the waiting list as possible. If anyone comes in with an accident or issue that wasn't caused by drunk driving, the drunk driver immediately gets bumped out of the hospital bed, no matter how traumatic their injuries are. Because f-ck drunk drivers, and f-ck the anti-maskers, anti-vaxers, and ivermectin users. And, as I stated before, the drunk drivers, the anti-maskers, the anti-vaxers, should refuse all medical treatment, and live by their shitty decisions. Drunk drivers know full well that they could cause accidents. They know full well. But they do it anyways. Same with anti-vaxers, and anti-maskers. Why be little b-tches about it, little crybabies, and expect a hospital bed? Just pretend it doesn't exist and stay the f-ck at home and die there, wrapped in their self-chosen deliberate idiocy. However, since only few drunk drivers actually come into the hospitals with injuries at the same time, not millions and millions over a year and a half, then yes, they can be treated because there are ample open beds and doctors, for the most part. Get it?
That's usually what constitutions are for.

Types are extremelly useful.
I think you may be conflating the application owner and the delivery system. If we're installing the application I think we're implicitly trusting the author.

If you copy/paste http instead of https then you've given execution control to every single middlebox along the way.

If the code is hosted on an evil sourceforge, then you've given them execution control.

deb packages will do signature checks, any many authors will list checksums in their releases which we can use to verify.
The truly weird thing is that it's not even the only vaguely similar ingredient used in perfumes.

Hyraceum is made from petrified hyrax droppings, while civet oil, musk, and castoreum come from the anal glands of civets, deer, and beavers respectively.
Almost. 5-10 years ago, they would be. In 5-10 years, they will almost certainly universally won't, and that's kind of part of my point; On one hand, yes, our "internal" debates on this type of stuff end up being very public, and as such, people who lean in strong directions become visible.

But also, we tend to collectively adapt much quicker and much better. I'm pretty comfortable claiming that this will be the case based on my own experiences with friends and family. In college, I'd say about half of my black friends were pretty "homophobic" and exactly zero of those same people are still.
> Mean while on a google pixel, google will just scan your entire library.

Google doesn’t scan anything on Pixel phones. Only photos and files that you upload to Google Photos or Drive. This is standard industry practice, and apparently Apple wasn’t doing that. So now they built this client side system that nobody else has, and created local surveillance.
Adoption is an option, and you have no idea who that child could become. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption because abortion wasn’t legal at the time.

Why do people like making these comments on HN everyday? Is it some weird feeling of superiority? I’m tired of low-effort shit like this.
Sure.... and we have bread and alcoholic beverages because yeast excrete carbon dioxide and alcohol.

I suppose that makes mead a combination of bee vomit and yeast poop, but it's quite tasty nonetheless.
This shot across the bow certainly is a good reminder for advocates of abortion access rights not to become complacent, as progress can be undone. I'm hopeful that it can act as a catalyst for advocates in the region. Extremist actions like this often create new advocates, as well as drawing external attention. There are already groups mobilizing from without and within to help Texan women who want or need an abortion, and conversely, groups hoping to take advantage of this law to target those women for what I would consider to be legal harassment. It seems like more of a gamble than you might be thinking.
> “This is a reward for past performance, not an incentive for future performance.”

It _was_ an incentive for future performance. The shares for this reward had already been set aside years in advance incase he hit his share price targets —- when they were worth much much less.
> "Just-in-time" means "no buffer".

Personally I have been ranting about the Modern use of Just in time manufacturing for well over a decade. Just in Time manufacturing as it originate in Japan doesn't actually means no buffering. Somewhere a long the line in typical Chinese whisper fashion the true meaning got loss when it go to the west. If you are software developer, just like at Agile and Kanban board.

The problem make worst when CEO and COO dont actually understand this, and force those in supply chain to comply with their view of JIT. It works in a sense when everything is normal. It doesn't work when there is a shock. Look at Apple, the only company that took JIT to a level beyond Toyota. They are doing just fine while others are fighting for parts.

The other thing worth pointing to is that this isn't just chips, but also every other commodity. The reason behind all these different industry are exactly the same. You could have swap the title for Beef, Poultry, Steel, Toilet Paper, Mask, Chips, Milk, Pencil, paper etc... I really do wish people learn a little about how supply chain works. It is the fabric of our daily life and yet very little attention has been paid to it.
Yes. I was an intern for the ranking republican in the Texas state house (Tom craddick) at the time. I was the only person who knew how to use a computer at more than a basic level so I had my hand on the mouse as we used a brand new map program loaded with voter data. Others in the room at various points included Tom Delay, Mike Baselice (disgraced Trump consultant) Governor George W Bush, Ted Deleese, and some guy named Scott. But I'm being literal: I had my hand on the mouse and drew the map.
The military has operationalized encryption (what we call 'COMSEC') for longer than even the NSA has been in existence.

I'll be the first to concede that the military is significantly behind on modern digital product management, cloud architecture, and software development.

But that doesn't extend to key management and distribution or communications security in general, which is something we're pretty damn good at.
Libertarianism upholds the same principles of individual liberties. Libertarianism is also the closest thing to what's called liberalism internationally. In the US, liberalism was renamed to libertarianism.
> Otherwise you're at corporation mercy when it comes to privacy and other sensitive topics.

Despite HN’s desire, the vast majority of touch points in our daily lives are NOT open source. I’d rather laws be setup to safeguard my privacy versus relying on “FOSS” as if that’s a panacea.
I totally agree. And I have watched all 3 of those.

Your question should be reversed. Nvidia itself doesn't care about open sourcing their driver so that it could be integrated as a kernel module. They provide a closed source blob which isn't even updated quite often.
- Lookup for what Linus Torvalds said about Nvidia.
For the dependency part, idk what problem you're facing. As long as you install using your package manager, you don't have to care about dependencies most of the time. However, if you build it from source there might be some errors here and there which you can easy solve. The best part is that after solving the issue you can also contribute to their project by informing them of a required dependency.
I don't think the comment completely ignores that. As the Cuba example demonstrates, the potential for a strong second hand market for existing repairable hardware is another form of buffer.

One of the issues is that repairability and/or durability have also been decreasing for many categories of goods.
The point of a federal system is to let a minority form the majority in a particular place and live under policies they want. Why should they accept the outcome of democracy and open borders if we chase them around the map and prevent that everywhere?

I am not saying I want to live under this absurd law, but I suppose people do and they are not going to just disappear.
they exist, but arent really used. the us is much bigger / less dense intercity. going across the coasts is six hour flights but days(4ish i think) by train and significantly more cost, with not many cities in the middle that people stop at. too few people would use so theres no motivation to make it faster. where it works decently well is northeast, because the cities are very close together(dc,philly,nyc,boston). but it's usually much more expensive than driving/bussing and takes roughly the same time.
I've always wondered why there haven't been more efforts to offer certain benefits (more comfort and privacy) to those who can pay more to ride public transportation. This would provide more funding for these systems and is not too different from what we already see on planes and trains.
> I don't think mimicking someone's Tourette's, which is what these children are doing, makes them mentally unwell.

> It's very possible that they are simply attention-seeking or enjoy the idea of being special.

It depends on what you mean by mentally unwell. If mentally unwell means that they are unhappy, a danger to themselves or others, or having difficulty functioning in the world in an acceptable way - then being attention-seeking to that degree is also clearly being mentally unwell.

If mentally unwell means that there's some physical problem with their brains, then very few people who are mentally well are provably mentally unwell. I would prioritize for help a malingering Tourette's sufferer whose life is falling apart because of that over an "authentic" Tourette's sufferer who has found strategies to cope with the disease in their daily life.

The question shouldn't be to determine if they're really mentally unwell, but to determine whether their illness springs from the same causes that treatments that assume this is a physical problem are effective on, or from different causes (e.g. lack of/need for attention) which might yield to different treatment.
I don't mind it not being faster than car.

The problem though is, in most American cities, you still need a car to get around once you get there.

Uber has made things better.

Someone slammed into me while stopped at an intersection. Totaled my car, damaged 2 in front of me. IMO a lot of this is phone related: people think they can drive and talk on the phone (or text, or watch videos, or whatever), but they can't - not even hands free.

Car manufacturers are making things even worse by putting huge screens in front of drivers.
This is not remotely the basis for the shortage. It is the basis for the high price of GPUs.

Banks are among those making telemetry calls they have no idea they’re making. Your bank app strategy is the same one has to use to install or update most IoT today, including appliances that shouldn’t be IoT at all. Those too incorporate these SDKs.

Perhaps having a “Linux phone with acceptable UX” in your hands will change product manager and developer behaviors with regards to client-side SDKs. Perhaps Linux will step up and block developers of these SDKs from monitoring Linux users, the way Apple updated their OS (against developer wishes) to block always-on location tracking.
That's awesome. Btw,

Some context: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/paragon-is-working-t...

So just a guess; maybe after Samsung's exfat code was merged into mainline, license and support revenue from their own exfat driver took a hit. So they decided it's in their best interest to preemptively get their own ntfs driver in mainline thus they can get more support contracts this way?

PS: I noticed this time it's Tuxera who isn't happy with this development. They remembered they maintain ntfs-3g [1], and decided up the version number of ntfs-3g after 4 years [2]. So I guess the theory above makes at least a slight sense.

I think it is closer to that. A lot of people were complacent in their jobs, and not nearly tapping their potential (market or otherwise). I can't tell you how many people I know or heard 2nd hand got furloughed or laid off, then landed a significantly better paying gig and never went back (sometimes wildly different industries). If they were never forced to change, I guarantee most would have stayed.
There are a number of reasons:

* For most of the country, cities are really far apart.

* The US has excellent freight rail network. They lease their lines to Amtrak, but they only have secondary priority. Passenger trains often have to wait behind slow freight, or even allow freight trains to pass them.

* After WW2, the US aggressively built the interstate highway system, which simultaneously caused suburbanization and killed intercity passenger rail.

Like the other commenter says, the Northeast Corridor between DC and Boston is an exception, as the cities are closer, and there isn't as much freight traffic, and the highways have a lot of car and truck traffic.
Nope, not just PCs, just electronics in general.

The pandemic allowed tens of millions of well-off western office workers to move out of tiny urban flats into more spacious housing. While having to spend a lot of time in their new homes, which was previously in ”public” places (eg restaurants, bars, what have you)

Now, what to do with all that space? A giant tv, washer and dryer, a nice stereo set, new induction stove, the list goes on and on…

PC demand also increased obviously, but probably bitcoin miners caused the most demand for PC hardware components
It's amazing how vulnerable Windows used to be. And despite that it took over the computing world. Ah to live in the pre-internet days.
There’s an official statement here:

https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs3-driver-faq/

Reading between the lines, I suspect that the effort of maintaining an out-of-tree file system outweighed any money to be made from selling NTFS support to Linux users, especially when ntfs-3g is probably good enough for many use cases. They have a lot of other products, and it’s possible that some of them leverage this NTFS support as well.
This blog post is so dumb it makes me wish pg paid more attention when was taught how to write essays about symbolism in Dickens.

First of all, the “what’s a real x” trope is pathetically lazy, lame as hell, and is a really great way to look like a jerk who thinks his own personal, temporally limited experience is somehow inherently “more true” and “more correct” than literally centuries of development and tradition. Then he goes on to try to make the ridiculous point that “an essay isn’t really about defending an argument” as he attempts to defend the argument that essays are not about defending arguments lol.

The arrogance and egotism of these sorts of essays always overshadow their otherwise redeemable points.
Looks promising, will try this on when I am rewriting my blog (again)
Can you really train it to be healthier? It uses implicit signals to figure out what you like watching.

That's like having a machine that detects which foods you find tastiest, and starts serving you only those things.
IMO, comments are needed when the code itself can't express something necessary to understand its overall function.

I've found that hence e.g. for rather complex statements where the code isn't lacking information, not commenting is the correct approach.

Whereas sometimes, when I'm forced to write exceptional code because of e.g. a workaround, a comment can nicely introduce my future self and other readers to the context.
> Aside from the obvious problem that this is the company itself pulling it down and so no hacking is going on,

Where did I directly accuse GoDaddy Inc. of taking down the website as 'hacking' or describing them generally as 'hacktivists'? Given they are a private platform, they have the right to terminate service to anyone for violating their Terms of Service.

As for the hacktivism and script-kiddie claims, the context is from [1]

> The developer, whose social media identifies him as Sean Black, also made an iOS shortcut making it easier for non-technical activists to participate as well.

> In the first video, Black says the script sends one request to the Texas website around every 10 to 15 seconds. In the second, Black adds that the script sent around 300 requests in all at the time of upload before the site blocked his IP address.

Does that also mean its fine for me to do it to someones website because I don't like their website?

So it's also fine to distribute malicious scripts and to encourage non-technical users to just hit the run button with the intention to DDoS and attempt to flood and bring down someones website because they don't like the website? If that is not script-kiddie behaviour, I don't know what is.

> The insistence that "script kiddie" is applicable is obviously some sort of 4d chess type of sarcasm trap and I won't engage in it further.

4d chess type of what?

Read the whole context [0] [1] [2] first before assuming such nonsense.

>Is Alexa really spying on me?'

Yes.
...Taking a shot in the dark here, because I opened the article expecting some writer mixed up MIMD and SIMD, but there might be some nuance here that makes the Multi-SIMD make sense.

Single Instruction Multi Data refers to implementing processing logic that performs the same operation on multiple data. The article seems to be using Multi-SIMD to describe a state of affairs where the processor is capable of determining data-dependence, and splitting out dependency coupled SIMD instructions from non. Those non-coupled instructions get scheduled to run in parallel, but then you're left with these dependent ones to go through serially.

Given Quantum teleportation being mentioned, the only thing that even starts to make sense to me is that you're implementing some sort of coupling via entanglement whereby state put in place in the teleporter gets rectified and instantiated in the receiver the moment the prior calculation is done, skipping wire propagation delays. That sounds way too handwavey and dubious for me to even pretend it sounds reasonable.

Be kinda cool if it was pulled off though. There's be a bunch of seriously wicked innovations possible if you could feasibly delete a good portion of intermediary interconnects and replace it with spooky action at a distance while still getting reliable results.
In San Francisco and New York at least, one important reason public transportation is inferior is you are regularly confronted with mental illness, disgusting sights and smells, and sometimes violence.
I think there's also an effect that when some trend is new, it seems overwhelming, but people tend to get used to it and cultivate a natural defense to whatever new bullshit came around, and push against it. So there's some kind of societal immune response to it. Like waves of the ocean that came suddenly but slowly recede. At least that's my hope with some of the stuff going on nowadays - but part of it will probably always be around.
Wait what -- is this for real?
