Most work quite well in my experience. I have run into small issues, like videos not playing, and sometimes games do not run at launch and take some time to patch, but all in all gaming on Linux has been a surprisingly good product experience.
I use FF for all financial/banks website stuff as I don't run any sort of blocker with it. Everything else is done in Vivaldi. Got to isolate the former.
> I'm saying this because most people who use or are aware of Linux happen to be CS majors.

Android is a Linux distribution it is the #1 phone OS (73% market share this year). ChromeOS is a Linux distribution and is the leading OS by market share in K-12 schools. Both are cheap and easy. In ChromeOS's case, they are easier for both administrators to manage and users. I'm also sure the students using Chromebooks have not completed their CS degrees yet, but one can hope.
This isn’t making beef cheaper in financial costs. There are a minuscule number of people limiting their beef consumption due to the carbon emissions.

It would be very interesting to see what the workers saw when they found it. I'd forgive someone for thinking it was just a sunken log, going by the photo in the article, so I'm wondering what they saw that made them call the archaeologists.
I feel like I remember something called “Super High Res” graphics back in my Apple 2 days. Is this the same thing as what’s called Double High Res here?
> but at the same time they're going to have to support Firefox forever whatever happens, and Firefox is a nice hedge for Google against being accused of having a browser monopoly

They merely need to wait for a time when the regulatory environment is more favorable. It's just a roll of the dice every 4 years, sooner or later their number will come up and they can cut all support then and there.

But it's not really necessary. By making Chrome the preferred and optimal way to use any site, and making chrome intrinsics the expected behavior of a web browser, they are creating an environment where all the incentives are towards making your browser more like chrome. Eventually there won't be much difference in the surface between Firefox and Chrome and Mozilla will finally make the decision we all eventually expect, and just change Firefox into a true chromium fork.

Though that may happen sooner anyways. It feels pretty clear that there are parts of the greater Mozilla org that don't benefit at all from all the effort going into Gecko (or a web browser in general) and wouldn't be disappointed in the money going towards other initiatives instead.

wow, they are really tracking from where you're calling the API to give credit, first of its kind I've heard :)
Pretty sure the point of using the rendering engine to display the UI was to make it easier to write cross-platform UI; granted, though, the point of then having the feature to use CSS to modify the UI was to do that (and it was relatively easy once the UI was already written in the rendering engine).
Is that primarily due to vaccine denial or poor government planning?
Indeed. In my old job, the number of times I'd hear "criss, j'ai fucké cette affaire la" or similar was beyond measure.

Granted my favorite video game is an updated version of something over 20 years old (AOE2DE), but I use Proton for a Windows-only game all the time and it works like a charm. I've done some other small games with friends and everything on Steam has worked either natively or with Proton. It's quite impressive.
They have been collecting as much data on people as they can. They've got the tech to listen to you, why wouldn't they use it?
That is assuming you have to reverse engineer it. While it is true that some proprietary formats will inevitably be lost to time, a lot of open formats could be reconstructed in the future simply by preserving the format specification. Think ogg or mkv for example.
Do you mind sharing that?
> I will give $1000 to anyone who is willing to give their parent who doesn't know jack about computers Linux and tell them "figure it out." None of them will be able to do it.

This is what I call the "Granma case". Considering the uses case is very well defined and the possibility of using exotic hardware and services and basically never needing to install any software; this is the situation where linux shines the brightest. My mom has being using linux having 0 idea what it was and needed 0 assistance to browse the web, access social networks, see photographs and videos and listen to music. That's all she does and any modern linux is much better than windows for this specific use case. No need to care about anti-virus, degrading performance, malware, advertisements... it is perfect for that.
It was actually a good question.
People have been vaccinated from the flu. Before flu vaccination every flu year was about as bad as the last covid year, with close to 1% of the entire population dying. That was just life, so when there was a vaccine that meant the flu no longer had high risk of death people were really excited to get vaccinated.

They’re the same thing. “App” is short for “application”, aka installable software.
This is more just "missed optimization opportunities in EC2" than a statement about mistakes in AWS as a whole.

If you want to talk systemic AWS mistakes you can make, we accidentally created an infinite event loop between two Lambdas. Racked up a several-hundred-thousand dollar bill in a couple of hours. You can accidentally create this issue across lots of different AWS services if you don't verify you haven't created any loops between resources and don't configure scaling limitations where available. "Infinite" scaling is great until you do it when you didn't mean to.

That being said, I think AWS (can't speak for other big providers) does offer a lot of value compared to bare-metal and self-hosting. Their paradigms for things like VPCs, load balancing, and permissions management are something you end up recreating in most every project anyways, so might as well railroad that configuration process. I've experienced how painful companies that tried to run their own infrastructure made things like DB backups and upgrades that it would be hard to go back to a non-managed DB service like RDS for anything other than a personal project.

After so many years using AWS at work, I'd never consider anything besides Fargate or Lambda for compute solutions, except maybe Batch if you can't fit scheduled processes into Lambda's time/resource limitations. If you're just going to run VMs on EC2, you're better off with other providers that focus on simple VM hosting.
It isn't just out of necessity. We don't really have much of a hunger problem in the US or most of the Western world.

We need to stop approaching problems by trying to force people to change their habits and preferences. That isn't going to happen.

Also, regardless of the arguments and hand waving from vegetarians, vegans, PETA, etc. we should accept that the vast majority of people are meant to and will always choose to eat meat as part of their diet.

If you want to get people off of conventionally produced meat you need something that normal people actually consider to be appetizing. If fact, it would be even better if they didn't realize any changes were made. The replacement for meat that has any chance of succeeding is ...meat.

Lab grown meat is the only solution with any chance of mass adoption. We can control the inputs, create something more appetizing, cheaper and maybe even healthier. It checks all the boxes vs. some unholy concoction of super processed ingredients marketed as a "meat substitute".
No mention of auto-tagging? One life-safer in legacy rails projects is tpope's excellent plug-ins, especially:

https://github.com/tpope/gem-ctags

That effortlessly let's one go to the definition of various library code. Not sure if there's something similar for Python and typescript?
While it's not conventional emulation, my understanding is that the DirectX 9-11 support isn't very far removed from how shader recompilation works in modern console emulators (RPCS3, Xenia, Cemu, Yuzu, etc.). Steam now even distributes shader archives among Proton users so that they can be translated in advance instead of on-the-fly, which is something that Cemu users had been doing among themselves for a while.
On Steam Deck they will be using signed Proton builds to make EAC work. Which means you wont be able to use EAC on just any Linux distro unless you use the same signed builds.
Have you tried Proton? It works great, and Valve is bringing quality first-party hardware this time around by every indication.

I don't think Linux will replace Windows for gaming any time soon, but Linux gaming has a very real value proposition in a way it didn't just a few years ago.

Slashdot was one of the few sites that was able to stay up during that time, and it was struggling. Later in the day, CNN ripped out all their HTML, and put up a super simple design to optimize for staying up
> aggregators commoditize supply.

Not just that, they create new , vast amounts of supply by breaking laws or operating in grey unregulated areas. And the supply increases so fast that there is no hope of collective action on the part of suppliers.

It works as described. One caveat: the website won't let you download an ISO if your browser's user-agent is set to Windows, instead it'll prompt you to use the Win10 media creation tool. But you can download the ISO if accessing from Linux/macOS/Android/etc., or by using a user-agent changer browser extension on Windows.
I was in my room, studying for some school test. My parents used to let me study, while they watched TV after dinner. That night they called me and showed the news to me. I recall it was CNN they were tuned into, and the second plane hit the tower right in front of my eyes.
I'm not sure Pascal entirely lost due to just C. Borland's Turbo Pascal was quite popular and was broadly used in the mid 80s. Apple even used their own Object Pascal variant through-out the 80s. Pascal was primarily used for application development and for this case it was leagues ahead of C and C++. Turbo Pascal thrived up until Delphi was released in 1995, which then became the new lead Pascal. Unfortunately, Delphi would come to face it's killer within a year.

When Java came out in 1996 it became an overnight juggernaut in application development. Java had a ton of hype when it was still in beta in 1995 and TIME magazine even listed it as one of the best products of the year--when it wasn't even released yet.

Microsoft poached Anders Hejlsberg, the primary language designer of Turbo Pascal and Delphi, from Borland in 1996 to have him work J++ their variant of Java. J++ followed the Sun Java spec with a few deviations, but it was just another testament to how quickly Java was taking over.

Borland was now competing with something that was free and they needed to pivot and well...they didn't.

Slightly OT: I love Forge but recently I've started using it for my non-PHP projects which feels... wrong. Are there any similar services that are more agnostic?
I find it pretty hard to believe anyone with the knowledge to build their own rig is not getting Windows through other potentially dubious means.
Oh yeah. We had to do that for a big well known corporation. We had to program in English but the comments had to be in French; at least they tolerated anglicism. The result was code that only a little fraction of the population could understand, and I never heard of any software company getting sued for coding in English. What a farce.

And let's not forget when the Orifice de la Langue Française shows up to your workplace and forces to have a Frenchisation committee to set up all workstations and software in French. Googling anything was a freaking nightmare and back in the days changing the OS language was a pain in the ass.
In computing this is the basis for AI.

With "ID" I mean "a photographic ID document used for verifying one's identity" - SSN (or, really, any "something you know" factor) is not an insecure ID, it doesn't even attempt to be one.

Sorry I’m not following. Russia has a much lower vaccination rate than the US: ~30% versus 54%. They also have an arguably inferior vaccine.
> Secondly the keywords don't really have any strong prior meaning to overload, so in a way they're more "pure" cognitively and easier to grok. The word "for" in everyday English really has nothing to do with "iterative loop with variable definition", the word "use" has nothing to do with symbol imports, but that's all it means to a non-English coder.

I would disagree with this. A lot of programming keywords have enough context to help new people. I.e. "for" or "forEach" maps almost perfectly to English. "For each friend you know, call them and ask what their birthday is and what kind of cake they like".

friends.forEach(friend => { friend.askBirthday(); friend.askFavoriteCake(); })

While loops are the same way. "While there's still boxes on the truck, you need to be moving those boxes".

It requires some slightly awkward contortions, but you can phrase English so that it somewhat resembles code.

"Use" and "import" both also have relatively clear parallels in English. import meaning bringing something from a foreign space into your own, and "use" being equivalent to using a tool.

English is my only real language (other than horribly botched Spanish) and the similarities to English really helped me when learning Python. Both in understanding and just simply remembering the keywords.
The BBC World feed seems completley out of sync as well, as if they used the BST times as if they were US east coast time, so it's like 5 hours behind everything else?

Yes. You will likely need to be running a signed Steam install plus a signed version of the game. I’m 100% confident that it will be figured out in a repo like the aur, but it may be some work for Ubuntu folks and whatnot.
Definitely not true since (at least at FB) you can also get an auxiliary laptop (Thinkpad) with Linux (Fedora). Just that no one wants them.

What do you mean "move over my whole game library"? All you have to do is install steam and use it just like you would on Windows.
Do both in a series, e.g. 5x sauna interleaved with 5x cryo. That works wonders but you need to get used to it so start slowly.
Let's agree to disagree. Web didn't take over anything, it found its own niche. Native apps, web apps and mobile apps they all live in this together. Before mobile billions of people could not afford a computer, to have desktop at their disposal. Nowadays an inexpensive Android (like $20) with enough power to run WhatsApp can be found in hands of dirt poor rural Indians. Hence why mobile devices are more numerous. But they didn't ate anything from dekstop. Same with web, it found a place to exists.

Do you want a truly "great oxidation event"? That would be a headband activated by Alpha/Beta/whatever brain waves so you can wear your computer on your head and command it using your thoughts. That's gonna be a true device, that will disrupt both desktop and mobile altogether. Until then the next "wave" is gonna be IoT where you'd play Doom on your coffee maker. Nothing disruptive about IoT either, just another gizmo for us to play with.
That would then lead to Chrome being allowed on iOS too, undoing any potential gain in a day.

There's (IMO) nothing anti-competitive about not allowing other browsers. They all serve the same web pages.

Cynical take: if Mozilla were to start such a law suit, it would be to avoid Google having to disclose how much money they make from Chrome users.
I got to see the LACMA exhibit, and experience the perceptual cell, and yes, all of the insane descriptive words (like “fog of light”) are actually spot on. The dark room disoriented my partner so rapidly that we had to leave before seeing it come to life. If you ever get the chance to see a Turrell work of any sort, do take it. There are permanent Skyspaces all over the world and someday Roden Crater will open.

As a game developer who used to run Linux exclusively it's really frustrating to work full time on games knowing they don't work on Linux just because of DRM.

We've built a proper data-driven business application - all the logic is effectively SQL over tables.

The challenge has nothing to do with the particular language or type system. Having a strongly-typed language helps a ton with refactor, but its not a prerequisite for data-driven to work correctly.

The most important part of doing this right is stepping away from the computer and listening to how the business refers to the things and their relationships. Getting the schema/normalization correct is foundational to long term success.

For instance, understanding that circular dependencies exist in the real world, and then actually being able to model them accurately is super important. If you have a Customer & Account that need to talk to each other both ways, invent a 3rd (or more) type(s) to relate them together. Model the nature of the relationship itself inside this new type. Very rarely is the relationship between 2 business types just an ID map (e.g. when was the relationship established? By whom?). Also, absolutely don't do any sort of bullshit where you arbitrarily decide which type "wins" in a hierarchy, unless the business has expressly informed you that one of those types is king always.

Closely related to this is nesting of complex types. Just don't. Make arrays (tables) of things and map between them via relations. You can query into JSON blobs with most database engines (we use SQLite), but it's a shitty way to author your BL in my experience.
Yeah, main office is in Vienna and they are the major Perl employers in this area. Perl, all the way down. Also the CTO was the first one who brought webperformance (meetups) into our community 10+ years ago.

Again: You don't have a choice.

Which AMD GPUs support VFs? Which ones support ROCm? The older AMD consumer GPUs did, but the newer ones don't. They prefer to charge extra for the data center GPUs just like Nvidia.
Most importantly, they did so as a plain update to the existing app sku rather than as a new app (despite it being trialed as a new sky).

Thus if you had auto updates, which developers and security folks were so keen on recommending, you suddenly lost a massive amount of functionality and possibly could not do many of the things you need to do on your phone.

With no recommended way back. Oh, and many users lost their history, passwords and bookmarks with that as well. It's hard for users to see that approach from a software company as anything other than a statement of "We're smarter than you, we know better than you, get f**ed"; a big thumb in the eye from some product manager somewhere.

Get that experience enough times with Mozilla updates and you start to view all of their design decisions through that lens.
I was 9 and angry that they interupted my tv show to show news (adult stuff) from the other side of the world. 20 years later and I have a better understanding of the situation but in a lot of ways I think everyone reacted and keeps reacting just how the terrorists wanted.

It's tragic but if this wasn't in America I likely wouldnt have even heard about the event nor would it be influencing my life this much later due to the ways others have reacted to it. I hope this doesn't read as disrespectful.

Totally agree. It's not intrusive, gives lots of options organized well, it's fast... great browser. I assume it's still safer than Chrome as well, seems like the best option for now
Lenovo might disagree.
I don't see how that's a problem, you can just modify the CSS. If you too decide that's too much work and consumes too much of your resources for not enough gain, well then now you know why Mozilla made the decision.
