Yeah, that seems about right.
I am amazed about low level od voter authentication in the USA. Living in Europe, we get national ID card when we turn 18. Everyone gets it. It is not hard to get it, it does not cost anything, even mentally challenged people get it. When there is an election, you need to show up with your ID card on voting place close to your residence - you cannot show in any voting place but one assigned to you. There they have a printed list with names of all eligible voters in the area, they check your ID card and you vote. When the votes are counted, any ordinary citizen can be present and verify the counts, providing he has registered in advance to be present at vote counting. Empty ballots are counted and verified against number od people that did not show up. American elections seem like a joke.
Github is actually a web application, like Gitlab.

Can you give me examples of European countries where there are no forms of ID that are free and accepted at the polls?
So run Rocky or Alma? They're both binary compatible versions of RHEL8. If you're already used to the Enterprise Linux ecosystem, there's no point in switching away from it entirely just because of CentOS stream, unless you're just interested in trying something new.

Ubuntu isn't perfect, but as someone who has used Linux as a daily desktop driver for the last 3 years or so, I think it's the best we've got (including downstream derivatives like Pop and Mint). Its release cadence seems to be in the sweet spot between 'bleeding edge and may break things' like Fedora and Arch, and 'too slow for a developers desktop' like Debian. I think for the Linux desktop role, it still manages to edge out the other distros.
The difference is that in the US there's no standard ID that's suitable for voting, that everyone has.

Not everyone has a driver's license. It's possible to get a non-driver ID from the motor vehicle department in most states, but not everyone without a driver's license has this either.

There's also no federal ID, other than a passport, which a large number (majority?) of people don't have.

This is a big part of the reason why separating voter registration from voting makes sense in the US. Voter registration allows identity to be confirmed using a variety of documents, which would be less practical to check at polling time.

The "solution" to this (assuming a solution is needed, which no-one seems to be able to justify well) is to have a federal ID or a federal ID standard (like Real ID), coupled with a requirement that every citizen has such an ID.

It's amusing that conservatives are the ones pushing for this "papers please" approach. Apparently their fear of imaginary voter fraud by imaginary immigrants outweighs their fear of a new federal government-imposed requirement that impacts their precious "freedoms".
What about for taxes? The UD has a reputation of being pretty good at tracking their citizens even outside the US to get their taxes.

Well:

Please. RedHat has been a boon to the Linux community but it's lack of - how can I put it tactfully - design taste? has stranded the platform into a decades-long quicksand of endless circular reinvention.

If you wind up putting your tax returns in the 'little free library' you set up on your front yard, you can't blame others for reading them, then handing them back to you and not telling anyone else.

In some states (Texas I think), a concealed carry license is acceptable ID, but a student ID isn't.

There is, of course, no bias in the types of people that have one but not the other.
agreed, Redhat developers are behind many foundational packages (longterm thinking?), but I credit Ubuntu with bringing many users into Linux. They continue this with the WSL stuff.. while I see how distribution non-cooperation is difficult, at least the users of Redhat and Ubuntu-derived distributions have vastly more in common than what they differ by.
I once worked for a company with a name like CompanyCloud and wound up sending an email to a customer saying I worked for CompanyButt. That was an embarrassing day.

WSL2 does include full Linux kernel.

I would presume Linux OS to run Linux kernel on host OS. By default Windows runs Windows kernel.
That's very true, but once an anti-cheat solution is deployed, it tends to be deployed universally for online gaming. So those who mostly or exclusively play co-op still have to deal with intrusive anti-cheat systems, for no tangible benefit to them.
Probably google. Chromium has made the decision to bundle all their dependencies instead of play nice with system libraries. Which means you either need to re-roll all of chromium when something is found, or you need to undo google's efforts. I don't blame distributions for refusing to give chromium poor support - it is intentionally not playing nice.
Yeah I mean economically worthless, not socially useful.
This is at the core of why I've found Ubuntu (More broadly Linux?) to be frustrating to use. Installing programs or functionality beyond what it ships with leads to the system ending in a "hacked up", as you put it, state. Then reliability tanks.

Holding constant the target resolution, you need a smaller CoC in proportion to the difference in focal lengths (assuming the viewing angle is also held constant). That removes one of the factors of f.

I think it makes sense to assume the same target resolution for the iPhone and the DSLR, even though this isn’t true in practice. The DSLR user is obviously free to downsample their photo to a lower resolution and thereby (in a rather uninteresting way) gain more depth of field. We shouldn’t be giving the iPhone extra DoF points just because it happens to have a lower resolution.

So we are not talking about any empirically derived value for the iPhone’s CoC. The CoC here is a value derived for each format from an arbitrarily chosen target resolution.
"Shoot the messenger" what a great strategy!

In New Zealand you have to register months in advanced, you receive a voting ID in the mail and you use this to vote in person along with (from memory one form of ID)

You can register on the spot but you need both ID and proof of address.

Also telling anyone who you voted for on the day is illegal. You can not post about it, because all party voting advertising is banned on the day.

I find this funny when Americans argue about things we figured out in the 90s.

We also have MMP which means you have more than one party so for example Bernie would have his own party.

The vendor's Android is going to be 99% stock Android and 1% things that will have higher rather than lower support costs than stock Android because it will have a smaller user base and be less likely to have the bugs already discovered and patched. Support costs would, if anything, go down.

Apple's crop / digital zoom with the 1x camera vs using the telephoto camera has been pretty annoying with the new iPhone 13 pro. It fails in many cases it's not supposed to, like zooming in at 3x in a bright day trying to take a picture of a flying bird or similar in the sky.

As someone who left Ubuntu at Hardy Heron (8.04), what are the problems with Ubuntu these days ? I know they tried to do desktop differently but failed to convince other distros and projects to change paradigms but it seems to me they are back to more common infrastructure now.
It’s not this simple.
24mm is a normal focal length for entry level macro lenses nowadays, yes. They don't just exist, they are very common in the entry level market. If you want to get those kinds of macro shots that's what you'll get.

If your goal for macro photography is to take a picture that is reasonably sharp at 12MP 2cm away with a magnification of less than 2, then yes, getting acceptable depth of field is a solved problem. Set your wide angle macro lens to F/22 and there you go.

If you have higher standards, then the problem is not fixed on DSLRs. But the iPhone doesn't do it either.

If you don't understand why using the CoC criteria for depth of field is incorrect on two cameras with vastly different sensor sizes, I can't help you. The only measure for depth of field that works across cameras with two different sensor sizes is the ratio of distance and aperture diameter, which determines the solid angle of light capture. You're the one that brought up physics, so actually look at the physics instead of using photographer's ready-made formulas without actually understanding them and where they break down.

As for the image that you replied to, it doesn't look any worse at all to the images in the post technically. If you look at the image of the lightning connector, it doesn't even have 2mm of depth of field at a pretty low actual resolution. You can say whatever you want as for the composition and artistic value, that's not what we're talking about.
Do we get spectroscopy from these images? What are the chances we could get detailed information about the atmospheres of earth-like exoplanets at some point in the future?

GP is probably proportioned like Michael Phelps: short legs, long torso.

I'm of a similar height, but oppositely proportioned, and the driver's seat in most cars doesn't go back far enough that my lower thighs rest on the seat, which makes for a lot of butt discomfort on long trips.

If the seat does go back far enough for my legs to be comfortable, it's almost unavoidable that the steering wheel is uncomfortably far away, and I put the seat pretty close to bolt upright to put my shoulders closer and reduce the impression that I'm hanging on to the wheel for dear life as it's trying to pull away from me.

Bicycles are similarly problematic: I want a shorter top tube than is common for my nominal frame size, so I ride a 59cm road bike frame with a short stem and a lot of seatpost showing. You'd be more likely to find somebody with my inseam (34" [0]) on a 61cm or 63cm frame.

I don’t know much about python, but for nodejs dev work I have about half a dozen versions of nodejs installed. It’s super handy having all those versions installed so I can test that a certain native nodejs package I develop builds and works properly. And to rule out nodejs itself when reproducing bugs. I use nvm (or fvm) or something to manage all that because the system package managers updated too slowly.

What are you saying here? That having multiple versions of python installed can put your whole OS into some sort of unrecoverable corrupted state, and that’s expected and ok? That’s a non starter for me.

I'm a dual US/UK citizen, living in the UK for four years. I have been turned away from local banks for being American. I have also had American banks and brokerages unilaterally terminate my prior accounts for moving abroad. I cannot reasonably purchase local life insurance policies nor mutual funds without tripping over IRS regulations that strip them of any preferential tax treatment and impose unimaginably onerous reporting requirements (PFIC).

As a dual citizen, you would think I could just bank with my British passport and conceal my American citizenship. Except foreign banks in countries with normal diplomatic relations with America are required to proactively search their customer database for indications of potential American citizens, report their details, and possibly preventatively withhold 30% of all payments to those accounts (FATCA). This is a right pain in the ass, so those institutions will often preemptively exclude customers who seem too American from the outset.

I have to rigorously report the highest monthly balance / value of every single one of my foreign assets and accounts, every year, to both the IRS and FinCEN, on entirely separate and incompatible forms.

And I get to pay thousands of dollars a year for the pleasure of being locked out of basic financial vehicles (life insurance policies!) and proving to Uncle Sam that I don't owe him anything. It's especially galling because this kind of reporting and taxation for foreign-domiciled citizens is unique to America, at least of developed countries.

Not to mention that all of this joy, and more, extends to your spouse, regardless of their citizenship.

I keep doing it, year after year, because I still believe in America. But after a few years without stepping on American soil, the question why am I still doing this comes of its own accord.

My problem with smartphone cameras(including iPhone) is that they completely misrepresent the scene. They try to make the colors of your photos as punchy as possible even when that's not actually what you're seeing. Older iphones used to capture accurate colors (which is why I preferred iphone cameras in the past) but now they produce the same over-saturated, over-sharpened images as every other phone these days.

If I want to make my photos punchy, I can do that in lightroom. For those who don't use lightroom, you can do that in the built-in photos app. My old iphone 6s produces much accurate colors than my iphone 11. On the iphone 11, colors are way off and images are so over-sharpened that I can see severe haloing around high-contrast areas.

And those awful noise-reduction watercolor textures... I wish they would just leave some noise as-is. Get rid of chroma noise (which is relatively easy), and leave some luminance noise around. I mean, luminance noise are actually quite nice as they are similar to film grain.

I can get pretty close to what I want with raw(not ProRaw), but you know, I can't even capture raw with their default camera app even when they are bloating it with useless(IMHO for a stock camera app) features like portrait mode, cinematic mode, photographic styles, filters etc.

I mean, I get why they are doing it; obviously because people like over-processed photos for their instagram. But it's my pet peeve...

That is why whatever that "thing" is, that's full-stop. That's why we refer to it as god.

It requires no explanation, it must be. It's sort of like asking "why do we have something instead of nothing?".

Because apparently that's the way it must be.

That sounds crazy to scientifically-minded people, myself included, because we want answers to everything. But the turtles will go all the way down until you just decide that there is a "god", whatever that is, and it is necessary.

I'm the first to admit that I'm ignorant of the facts here, but seeing that a systemd fork ran on OpenBSD for the first time two months ago does not give me confidence that it's "an option" in the sense that you can trust it to work well.

And to be pedantic (this is an OpenBSD thread, after all), it's not "systemd", it's a fork of systemd called "InitWare", and the GitHub repo describes it as "alpha software".

This is the problem. In the US, there is no equivalent universal ID. Voter ID laws keep people out by requiring forms of ID that certain people tend not to have, e.g. requiring a driver's license, which immigrants and inner city residents might not have.
