It does, thanks.

I didn't say directly that their code is bad. But asking is futile, communication is bad. They dont want to make it a prio and 8 hour time diff makes it hard. I spent too many nights up to have video calls about it.

But you're advice aligns with other people here. Regardless of he sate, I should be help drive it with refactors and just deal with it indeed.
How Headlights Became So High-Tech [video]
It’s not FOSS, and not parametric in the way you’re thinking, but versions of it work in wine: Chief architect. I use an OLD version I have of it, for visualizing renos mostly, but it has all the smarts to properly get you to something buildable to code with all the BOMs. You set your defaults for materials and measurements, which can be changed after the fact to give it a bit of a “parametric light” feel.
I wish there was something as powerful and fully featured in the FOSS space.

Why is a dark theme "overengineered?" You can't just arbitrarily turn down the brightness of a screen and still be able to read it. There's a minimum level of contrast required. Dark themes retain that minimum level while still greatly reducing overall brightness.

Using Machine Learning to Improve Payment Authorization Rate
H2 cars make no sense due to total system efficiency. I think agriculture, forestry, and long distance shipping could all make use of H2, but battery prices have dropped so far (and keep dropping) no one will pay the premium for fuel cells in passenger cars.

> They have the advantage of very fast refueling

It is not fast. H2 can't be pumped. It is held in a large tank and then super-pressurized in a smaller tank. When you connect your car the pressure is allowed to equalize between the tank and your car, transferring H2 in the process. Building up the extreme pressure takes time, so if a H2 station gets used heavily there is a 10-15 minute pause while the pressure rebuilds. It's not like getting gasoline at all.

An auto journalist I follow had a nightmare experience with the new Mirai. Trip from LA to Santa Cruz, somewhere you'd expect to have the best H2 experience possible. Only one station on the I5 corridor and it was out of H2 on the way up. They had enough range to go to San Jose (out of the way) and get H2 there. Several stations broken, finally found one that worked. Waited in line behind 2 cars. Each took 10 minutes to fuel and then the station needed 15 minutes to re-pressurize, so it was nearly an hour to get H2. He was promised the I5 station would have H2 delivered before they headed back to LA so they set off. Arrived needing fuel and it hadn't come yet. Had to stay in a hotel overnight and truck didn't come till noon the next day. 5-6 car line up waiting to fuel. Between the time to pumpH2 into the station from the truck, fuel each car, and re-pressurize in between it was 3 hours before he was able to leave.
I think this summarizes it well....

In Reconciliation Bill: A Retirement Plan Mandate
Crazy thing about NixOS is that it's so good, all the bad parts can be excused. I like to go on forums and complain about how the Nix configuration language is horrible, and there's not much documentation on how to get general things done.

But that said, I'm still running NixOS on my servers. And no way that I'd ever go back to old fashioned provisioning scripts like Ansible.

Just yesterday I had a problem upgrading a machine that's been running for 3 years without updates, and it wouldn't upgrade to the latest version of NixOS because of some certificate issue I couldn't figure out. Tried a couple things, nothing worked, gave up and destroyed the box. Installed the latest version of NixOS on it, pulled my configuration from git and it's back online exactly how I want it.

It runs 5 websites in docker containers with a reverse proxy that automatically gets its SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt, some other services, and a tmux session with irssi. Everything neatly managed by systemd through unit files, everything set up from one simple nixos configuration.

If I'm complaining about NixOS, it's because the best server operating system in existence right now has flaws. Not because I'd ever go back to a traditional linux distribution.
I'm thinking mostly like a business. Nazi comparisons are bad for business.

If someone starts bringing up the Nazis in some obscure context during your pizza shop's pepperoni v/s margharita bake-off, what are you going to do? Best thing to do is to move on as quickly as possible, and kick out the person who made Nazi comparisons.

Now I already concede, that perhaps this should not happen on a campus. Perhaps we should explicitly maintain campuses as places where limits might be tested, and have robust responses.
I think a contributing factor is the general demographics of the parties. Conservative areas tend to rural and less densely populated compared to liberal areas that tend to be higher density populations. Rural communities are more "take care of yourself" and I thinks a lot of our inability to meet eye to eye comes from different base assumptions.
Boston Dynamics' plan to commercialize its robots
Interesting statistic, but does it mean that much? A board where the same 144 assholes agree or argue with each other all the time isn't likely to be that much fun for anyone else. 2500, not much more so.

The community is the thousands of people that make up the long tail and usually say very little, individually. The sufferers of verbal diarrhea who stand tall in your statistics are just something you get in any community, not necessarily reflecting a larger opinion or leading it, just decorating.

Robots do all the work at Nissan's 'intelligent' plant
If one looks at a typical FFP2 or FFP3 mask, they have two years written on them - 2001 and 2009 - which reference the years the standards for such masks were published.

Now this pandemic started around 2020, which is more than decade later.

So recommending cloth masks was and is indeed farcical. Doing it after recommending against mask usage is idiocy. And no, the world’s collective scientific understanding of masks didn’t change between 2020 and 2021.

Hard to imagine a legal approach that does not impermissibly infringe on the free association rights of all the various participants. The question is whether any other mechanism would be sufficient. If Twitter were interested, they could do something to inhibit the flow of the outrage mechanism, but there are strong free speech arguments against doing this. Also it is of course not in Twitter's own best interest.

If we rule out government and Twitter's action, the next idea is to convince enough mob participants themselves that it's not a good idea. This actually does seem feasible. I mean cancel culture itself is only five or six years old, at least as we think if it today. Another broad shift in perspective seems possible.

I think NixOS would benefit from easily accessible collection of opinionated modules/profiles/configurations with minimal set of options. Something like gnome-desktop / sway-desktop / etc. Gnome actually does pretty good job here.

The point is: currently my NixOS and Home Manager configurations have over 2k LOC total. When you search for configurations on GitHub/Google you are likely to find complex ones. For example, quick search for "nixos gnome" (Google) gives me link to NixOS Wiki (which describes only Gnome part) and blog post (https://gvolpe.com/blog/gnome3-on-nixos/) which is useful but links to really huge configuration (https://github.com/gvolpe/nix-config) that is overwhelming to any beginner.

Great example of such approach is nixos-hardware (https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware) which provides one-line configuration covering hardware quirks.
If you're interested in collecting feedback and passing it on, the other criticism I have in this area is that Microsoft's privacy policies are incomprehensible. Everything seems to refer to the same huge document in the first instance and that document seems to depend by reference on numerous supporting documents. Even figuring out which supporting documents might be relevant seems to require understanding ambiguous terminology about whether any given application or service fits into various categories.

Personally, I'm not interested in messing around with that kind of nonsense. I don't want to engage a lawyer just to find out if I can safely run some software and in the modern world where we're dealing with things like personal data and sensitive business information (including code and clients' proprietary information used to write it) an organisation with Microsoft's recent track record on privacy isn't going to get the benefit of the doubt.
Couldn't agree more. It's so frustrating to have topics worthy of debate come up with a shit article where the author tries to cloak his transparent bias in "false righteous rationality".

Just look at the first paragraph:

> he stated that these measures were necessary to “protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers.” But isn’t the vaccine itself supposed to be what protects the vaccinated? Not well enough, apparently. So whose interests are served by mandating a leaky vaccine that prevents neither infection nor transmission of a disease that is chiefly dangerous to people over 75 or with serious preexisting medical conditions?

Any competent scientist could easily explain that even with an extremely effective vaccine (which Pfizer and Moderna are, at least in relation to virtually any other vaccine, not the "leaky vaccine" he wants to imply), risk will still be high if there is widespread community transmission. This is not a difficult concept to understand, it's simply basic math with any vaccine that has less than 100% effectiveness (i.e. all of them).

Besides, I've always interpreted more of "protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated" is that our ICUs we're very recently filled to capacity overwhelmingly due to unvaccinated people getting sick, and that has serious negative consequences on everyone.

"...the department leadership concluded that the debate over both his views on diversity, equity, and inclusion and manner of presenting them were overshadowing the purpose and spirit of the Carlson Lecture"

"The Carlson Lecture is not a standard scientific talk for fellow scientists. It is an outreach event, open to the public, with a speaker who is an outstanding scientist and role model [...] to inspire young people to consider careers in STEM."

Seems fairly reasonable to me that you wouldn't want someone with divisive views on diversity giving your outreach lecture.
Worth noting they didn’t use dotnet to build VSCode (and to a lesser extent Teams) when they could have.
Has anyone ever toured any of the auto plants in the USA?

It's amazing how few workers they have. In some areas, they don't even have the lights turned on because the robots don't need them.

I sure the Nissan plant is an additional step forward.

Garbage article. :-(
I think that there's a subconscious belief that US institutions should be loyal to the white race, especially as expressed through the American spirit of our forefathers and their ideals of fair play, and that any cancellation based on expressing the same racial beliefs as the country was built on is basically sedition as a prelude to white liquidation.

Some white people feel like they're going to be forced out of the US like the US was forced out of Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Instead it's a workers' rights issue primarily (it shouldn't be so goddamned easy to fire people), and secondarily it's a problem of the commons that every venue for free speech is managed by an authoritarian institution solely motivated by its own survival and prosperity rather than any animating belief or core ethics. This is your culture on laissez-faire. Whether it's MIT or Facebook managing your culture, you're still free to give your opinion in the shower every morning.
> How do we neuter the power of Twitter mobs?

Ignore them. They have no power except the one you allow them to have on you.
Nice.

The idea of having stabilisation near the top of the frame well above the CoG rather than down at the ankles or hips seems like one of those obvious things that is easy to miss.

I wonder whether/how that simplifies the rest of the control mechanisms.

Guix System is very usable as a main OS if your hardware is compatible. Linux-libre gives some people trouble with their GPU or WiFi. I use a ThinkPad T440p with the WLAN card removed, and everything that remains works fine. If you need blobs for an AMD GPU or WLAN, you likely need to swap out linux-libre for linux in your config. I haven't done this myself, but I know a few people who have done so. Also consider that discussion of non-free bits like this are not allowed in the official IRC and mailing lists, so you'll have to either be on your own or find the semi-secret places where guix users use non-free things.

All that aside, I've spent time with NixOS and Guix System both, and much prefer the latter. Nix has more packages, but some of them (which I actually use in everyday life) are broken in odd ways where they work fine in Guix. I also like to use a distro without systemd when possible, and find the guix community feels more alive/active. Getting more Guix users (and packagers) will help narrow the gap as well. There are enough packages that I don't miss too much in daily use, and you can comfortably get all your emacs packages through guix, I just often can't try some new program when I first learn about it.
I had thought repairing modern electronic devices was going to be near impossible coming from my early experiences in the 1970s, and although a lot of the repairs involve swapping a card or whole board, others are simply board-level repairs of blown capacitors, bad connectors, like charging ports, and such on things like iPads. I now have a complete microelectronics setup and I have repaired a bunch of stuff. It's my hobby, not business. The real block is access to schematics and parts. Apple doesn't release schematics legally for purchase until they are a few generations behind, so fixers buy illegal copies. Non-standard parts, like custom chips, are also controlled or not easy to find. I primarily setup my microelectronics bench to make my own stuff, not repair stuff. I owned my first cheap microscope in 1972, but my workbench scope has opened up a whole other world for me.
I'd suggest you look over the distance from the USSR to the USA to see how such an attack would have played out. There was no such possibility u til ICBMs at which time MAD was a thing.

What I mean is, why would Microsoft do this? If Edge is a nice piece of software that's in demand, why make it easier for people to run it on a rival OS? Conversely, if Edge is shovelware that directly benefits Microsoft in some way, why would anyone go out of their way to run it? Especially anyone who cares enough to go out of their way to install Linux? I'm just struggling to understand the target audience.

Although, from some of the sibling comments, perhaps I've underestimated its popularity?

Is there a way to access the Twitter hate sphere that actually contributed to this? This is the first I’ve heard of it and I’m regularly on Twitter. I’d love to actually sit and witness this sort of behavior myself instead of getting it second-handedly through reporting.

It doesn’t help the Twitter interface utterly sucks at collating and quantifying the stuff in a real manner.
> So why is there such disparity in the US between Biden voters and Trump voters when it comes to Covid-denialism, pseudo-cures, and antivaxxing?

And creationism vs. evolution, and global warming denial, and the "Trump won" big lie, etc... See a pattern here?

I call it anti-science ignorance.
That's an explanation, but it's still wrong. It's a very dangerous thing to justify ethnic revanchism.
Seems like there were two things Abbot did "wrong", one was to argue against affirmative action, and the other was to use a nazi reference to make his point.

Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of what the mob said on Twitter? I'm curious if they differentiated between the two.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, Netflix's fiction THE CHAIR satires cancel culture in liberal institutions and their story includes someone who is canceled for using a nazi reference as well.
No institution is going to sign a contract like that. There are more people who would be happy to speak at events like this than speaking slots. If you demand a contract that says "you can't disinvite me," they're just going to move to the next person on the list.
No I believe you are right. It’s all related.

Passion is love. Love is the force of creation. When we love something unconditionally, we pour the energy of creation into it.

When we love with conditions/incentives (ie I love this be because I’m making money), that pure energy is distorted/blocked. The most powerful way to create something is by unconditionally loving it.

But how do we filter on passion, when incentives seem to be required to attract anyone these days?
You might be thinking of UMSDOS. It was pretty neat; it allowed for instance C:\LINUX on DOS to become the root filesystem when booted into Linux (which also booted from DOS through LOADLIN), with the DOS root directory (C:\) becoming something else within Linux (I don't recall the exact path, it probably was something like /dos or /umsdos). That allowed you to install Linux like any other normal DOS program (yes, it was normal under DOS for a program to completely bypass the operating system), without having to re-partition/reformat or even change the bootloader. It's the main reason that I ended up using Linux and not one of the BSDs; I could try out Linux without any permanent changes to the current MS-DOS install (and some time later, I noticed that I was nearly all the time running Linux instead of DOS, so I re-partitioned to give Linux a whole ext2 partition).
I would have been far harsher!

If you work for an immoral organization and are OK with that by virtue of continuing to draw a wage there, YOU ARE AS IMMORAL as the company because you aid and abet it.

Totally unacceptable and sends a message to any student that isn’t a white man that they don’t matter

Fascinating. I would call this another indicator of qualitative change in the cancel phenomenon. "Classic" cancel culture was driven by highly informed activists, who in this case would've known race-agnostic acceptance benefits Asian people and is at best neutral toward white people if not harmful. Today's mobs are obviously not being led by people of the same caliber.
You may already realize this, but you don't need to run a VM per project if you're using Nix; Nix lets you have as many self-contained development environments as you like, all on one machine without VMs or containers.
