There are some non-dualists who claim to have an answer to that question. Basically according to them consciousness divided itself in order to experience all the various forms of existence and from the point of view of the (illusory) individual self the goal is to discover that they are in truth nothing other than primordial consciousness (ie. what some call God).

Personally I find that explanation circular and unsatisfying. So the goal of life is to get back to what you were before life began, what's the point ?
Wait, how so? Isn't Blender a pretty direct competitor to 3D modeling and rendering tools like Maya and 3dsmax?

AFAIK you can't directly author 3D models in Unreal, if anything Unreal has a dependency on tools like Blender.

There is some competitive overlap, but that seems mostly within the realm of real-time vs. offline render for producing video content?
RedHat is not 100% open source either (although the differences are important).
That's almost like saying Internet Explorer is a competitor to Microsoft Word because they both share text documents with pictures.

Yeah, Blender and Unreal kinda-sorta do the same thing (3d rendering). But their applications are completely different... and you'd be more likely to see people use both tools together on one project rather than a competition between the tools.
I've been helping add it to University curriculum because it's enabled us to contract and hire really talented and motivated people without the vendor tax of 3ds Max or Maya, and they usually have broader skill sets that we can apply elsewhere.

Not knocking all the amazing people who use other software, but if you want new opportunity, use Blender!
Blender is a fantastic piece of software. I've dabbled with it for years but the 3.83 version and higher with the improved UI has made it better.

That coupled with some 3d printing marketplaces have made for some interesting experiments!
I'm guessing you are against insurance companies charging more for drivers who are statistically likely to be more dangerous?

Car insurance telematics [1] seems largely positive in that it financially discourages dangerous behaviors and it means people who actually drive dangerously (as opposed to people who are simply young) will foot a greater fraction of insurance costs. (Though there are definitely implementation issues and privacy concerns.)

There isn't one. The point of life is whatever you make it to be. Nothing has inherent meaning or value, until you yourself give it any. Only you can answer that question for yourself.
>> that doesn't mean they aren't real.

This feels a little semantic. In buddhism this is partly due to sunyata being translated as "emptiness," which implies "not real" or "doesn't exist." I think most people are on the same page on this instinctively but struggle to find the words because it's not something that can easily be put in words, but in the words of Leonard Cohen "everybody knows"

Does it have to have a point? I'm still young (early 20s) so maybe there's something I'm missing, but I don't see why there has to be a reason for life.

It exists and as a result, so do you. Enjoy it, do what's right, and maybe we'll be lucky enough to be the first people for whom life doesn't end.

I think the port thing is destined to wind down. Mostly this is a temporary fluke - unless climate change or other factors diminish what ports can do.

Past that, would the potential volume carried by rail compete with megaships+air? I don't know the numbers but am doubtful.
You have skipped quite a few downsides. Anyway, the biggest one is that what was previously an app is now a separate environment that is sometimes hard to control. If I wanted to run an app in a sandbox, I would have run it in a sandbox. People have run into all possible problems with snaps in the past, it has been discussed on HN ad naueseam [0] [1].

They've already deprecated OpenGL. Drivers on macOS are locked at OpenGL 4.1, which is missing a whole lot of nice features. Not because the hardware doesn't support them, but because Apple doesn't want to keep maintaining OpenGL.

And why would they? OpenGL is really unpleasant from a hardware manufacturer's / integrator's / OS author's perspective, it makes app ports for mobile that much harder unless you're using GL ES, and Metal works and many apps have a Metal renderer now. If you find the mere idea of Metal distasteful because it's an API that can't be used on other platforms, you can use Vulkan and MoltenVK to get there.

You're confusing not caring for the pro market with their approach to vertical integration. They care for the pro market, but they're not willing to compromise on ripping out what they consider to be dead weight.

‘Fake It Until You Make It’: 5G Marketing Outpaces Service Reality
What is the Shake code base?
"The point of life" implies that there is one.

If there is one, it can come from an external source or from our own subjective self.

The former is what traditional religions claim, and most settle on some form of "praising the Creator" as the point of life.

The latter is probably best captured by existentialism. I would recommend Camus.

If there is not one, then that is nihilism. I would recommend Nietzsche.

I think the choice is between God and Nietzsche. I picked God.
Another important is that automation can solve the problem of passing the knowledge (on how to do something).

This happens when the person that uses the automation no longer needs to learn how to do the task.

Teaching people is actually extremely expensive even if you forget about reliability of entire process.

People have limited ability to learn stuff. So being able to automate certain tasks not only allows people to do more in less time or do it better, it can actually allow doing more things that the person would ever be able to learn, without need of learning.
That's a very spot-on question. How much would people pay for advertising-free results? I suspect the answer is disillusioning :(

No one owns any religion, not even the Pope or the Dalai Lama. There is no "territory" to "colonize", and I haven't seen any evidence of racial superiority being a motivation. People develop their own belief systems over time. Did Gautama Buddha erase traditional Hindu voices when he spread his new religion in India? Was Gautama Buddha motivated by a feeling that his Nepal race was superior to the Hindu Indo-Aryans? Did Gautama Buddha seek to "colonize" the Indian subcontinent somehow?

This is especially interesting because Blender is GPLv2. And AFAIK apart from Webkit which for historical reason it is LGPL, all other open source software Apple support are BSD / MIT / Apache.

It is also exceptionally rare Apple donate this amount of money to any open source organisation. To the point I would argue this is very non-Apple. There could be some strategic interest for Blender, although I haven't figure it out what it is.

Edit: Someone mentioned AR/VR. Which could be the case here.

Exactly, Debian has you covered depending on your needs. I run Debian Stable on servers and Debian Sid on my desktop and laptop. Had 2 or 3 non-booting Sid systems over the course of 20 years, none or which weren't solved in 10 minutes after asking for help on IRC.

I doubt Ubuntu offers newer packages than my Debian Sid installation.

As for drivers and firmware etc as I've mentioned below I've installed a new state of the art desktop in recent weeks and everything simply worked. From the wifi to Bluetooth to the Nvidia gpu. I wouldn't call enabling the non-free repo "work" since it's just a question to answer during the installation...
Ancient Cybersecurity? Deciphering the Spartan Scytale
There is a really great documentary on dealing with drug issues in Seattle. It's called "Seattle is Dying" and it's on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpAi70WWBlw

The short of the video is that you need rehabilitation for these drug users AND you need accountability. When you pick up a drug user, you give them two options: rehab or jail. Fail out of rehab, go to jail.

Unsurprisingly, most people pick rehab. In either case, the problem is solved for the rest of society.

We give people the resources and help to solve their problem without letting them jerk the rest of us around. It seems like a fair compromise to me.

I've been fighting to keep Unity as long as I could, but it's now breaking too often so I accepted my gnome shell fate. It requires 10 plugins, one app, and manually crafted .desktop files to be usable, but ok, it's free software, I'll adapt.

I understand the rational to also push for wayland first now, but it breaks my workflow for things like autokey. We do need to move from X11, but once again, something I will have to work with.

And now Firefox is a snap, which is slow, has permissions problems all around (guaranteed the sandbox will break some addons), takes a lot of space, etc. Again, I get it, it's a perfect candidate to push the tech, and they need to solve user facing apps distribution problem with linux.

I like Ubuntu a lot. I donate to it. I don't want to migrate to Manjaro or something else. Ubuntu is the sweet spot for things working out of the box.

But with 21.010, I really feel like at least moving to Elementary or PopOS right now. Tried them, the first one can't install (EFI partition is too small), the second breaks on my machine.

I don't like KDE, so I guess, next is Xubuntu? Something else?

I'm not certain you'll get a comforting resolution to this niggling question that we all probably have.

It's a smear piece. There may be some truth to the characterization of people behind the firm, but as a reader it's impossible to know given the animosity of the writers towards their subjects.

The Green Revolution was predicated on the idea that we should increase calorie yields now to prevent famine shocks in key third world populations. The most efficient way to perform well on this single metric is with monoculture and cash crops, due to economy of scale.

This is humane, but it doesn't slowed down population growth, which requires either a bottleneck or a set of loose constraints aside if we want to maintain a constant food yield, ceteris paribus the way we grow food now.
Side question: why on earth does Apple bother sending Apple Watches to someone like John Gruber? What exactly does his opinion offer anyone?
Hmm, fair point.

But just as much as you consider an "expectation that a user MUST do something for an open source project" is a tired point, I consider the endless ranting by entitled FOSS users an obnoxious trend.

And btw. I never said something about "must", I asked why not choosing - OK, maybe strongly suggesting - another option.

Maybe you took my question the wrong way, but (maybe just as much misguided) I took the "opinion"/"discussion" not as opinion, but for the lack of any helpful suggestion as merely a rant.

I was raised not to needlessly complain about free things, without considering to take things into my own hands.

And even if you don't know how to code, suggestions and discussions are better had in an issue tracker, right? Otherwise, what's the point?

If one is not a user, and considers something else to be better, why voice such a strong opinion?
Investing in startups generally requires being an accredited investor. To be an accredited investor they need to pass the Series 65 test and get licensed. Licensing can be state or federal, but federal is generally more convenient. Federal registration usually requires significant assets under management which the author certainly doesn't have, but the "internet adviser exemption" allows them to register federally (SEC) without the $ minimum.

As a side project I've been trying to build a conception of consciousness/unconsciousness with unconsciousness as a mental model, in a sense of a programmed simulation continually attempting to mirror the inputs from the senses, and consciousness as a programmer to override or possibly act as another input, but it's power is pretty weak.

It would make sense that it would look like machine learning, as we find machine learning useful because it categories inputs in a similar way to the way we do. In other words, our unconscious model may be a very complex and subtle set of categorizations, we understand the world by dividing and grouping sense inputs.

But I still haven't cracked how the feeling of consciousness arises from this, your comments are pretty interesting and in line with all that.

*edit - I understand that this way of describing it is deeply informed by me being a programmer of many years, I imagine a life long woodworker would describe it in terms of their trade!

> Most of the issues people have with Facebook (again, ignoring the privacy issues)

This is _massively_ shifting the goalposts. From a personal user perspective, the privacy issues are pretty much the entirety of the problem with Facebook.

But you're also missing the fact that Facebook _itself_ is A Bad Thing for the world, even if it is locally useful as a product. The parent commenter is presumably saying that it would be a good thing if Facebook did not exist (I agree), not just that it would be a good thing for each individual person if they didn't use Facebook. Even if _you_ unfollow your racist uncle, he's continuing to use the platform to hear and spread more racist invective.
In context it seems kind of fair. You can use true facts to support hateful views. I'm not a fan of censorship, but the cat's always been out of the bag when it comes to social media censoring things.
