Anecdata: I have an intel/dell laptop and bluetooth is a trainwreck on Focal Fossa, let alone display modes and orientation changes. Video playback in FireFox works sometimes, sometimes i need to reboot because it freezes and then won't play again even if I kill the process (I think it is related to going into suspend with a video paused). Yeah, I'm just one person, but damn it is frustrating to do anything else but dev work on linux.
Even if it did, if it ended up enriching the soil carbon-content, would it matter?

Too be honest I've never heard of "baltic birch" before so I can't comment on how different it is from the normal birch plywood we get here in EU.

I just googled it and saw that it looks exactly like the birch plywood I have been using, so I assumed that it has similar properties.

I consider birch to be "good" plywood, it's very easy to work with, strong, and seems somewhat resilient to warping. However, because the layers are so thin you often end up breaking bits off when working on it with a router, and the surface somehow doesn't get as smooth when sanding.

The 3-layer boards (not sure what they are called in English) seem to be easier to sand smooth, easier to finish with oil, and are not as finicky when routing.

Just from looking at pictures, I'd assume the bamboo boards are closer to the 3 layer stuff rather than the 13 layer stuff.
The landscape of funding is shifting. Through Patreon and Google Sponsors, I'm funding developers to work on Linux on the M1 chip, a keyboard driving browser (Qute) and Linux security (Spectrum OS).

As a reminder, Chrome OS is Linux. Google is funding that and some parts of it benefit the rest of Linux.

Google has also been working recently to get more improvements that they made to the Linux kernel upstreamed in a more timely fashion.

Sway is a great desktop environment for power users that was supported from crowdfunding and with a lot of volunteer help.
I wonder if power usage is also significantly better (rather than open air cooking)
> Thank you Toyota and practitioners of "lean" / "Six Sigma" that told us all about the wonders of just-in-time, to only carry exactly as much inventory was needed for demand.

While Toyota might have popularized the concept, it seems odd to blame them for the common-sense idea of just-in-time.

It’s quite natural, normal humans also don’t hoard everything they can possibly think of needing, nor should companies. It’s eco-friendly to be JIT as it leads to less wastage; while optimizing for rare shortages will result in wastage all the time.
One aspect of this is to look at the ways that history is being rewritten now from original materials. All of the -isms of the 1900's painted a picture of straight, white (male) Captains of Industry paving a way to the future, and in revisiting the source materials we are discovering that this image paved over a lot of people that were doing a lot of heavy lifting.

History is full of assistants, spinsters and confirmed bachelors whose stories are being re-told now from diaries and correspondence letters that have been family heirlooms for generations. You can't trust the contemporary reports as accurate, because they have a different agenda than we do 20, 40, 100 years in the future. We only knew of Marie Curie within her own lifetime, less because her work was so profound, but because she had a husband in her own field who conspired with her to subvert a system that didn't want to give her standing. A partner outside your field can't do much for you, and a more selfish collaborator wouldn't.

Who knows what polite fictions are being told about people now that will be reframed by our grandchildren, assuming that scholars can find any of it. If I had to guess it will be neurodiversity. Probably/hopefully doing away with the Tortured Genius trope.

No. My observation has been that FB will sell ad space to any unscrupulous, scammy outfit, so at very least it would put you in bad company.

Trump sought to increase the legal responsibility of social media companies for what their users say, repealing protections under Section 230, thereby exposing them to lawsuits, which would in effect silence and cancel users.
There's a place here in town that brines brisket for a week, and then slow smokes it for 14 hours or so like a bbq brisket. It makes it hard to have pastrami any other way now
Roku should do an official port of NewPipe(1) or SmartTubeNext (1) to its platform and install them by default.

Marketer here.

Numbers: low nine-figures spent over the last 7 years or so on RTB display and GDN/YT

Outcome:

* Google on display tends to be much higher quality than most major DSP platforms. Incremental ROAS on Google's non-search ads tends to be better, with YouTube being the best performer.

* When you use GDN and YouTube, you are bidding on a much more accurate set of behaviors and first part data in addition to the content matching, which is second to none for large scale.

* One of the better audience types Google gives you access to is search intent. You can target people that have exhibited search behavior that indicates their interest or likelihood to purchase what you have on offer

* Despite these advantages, like any platform Google can also have major quality issues if you do not manage your campaigns well and click fraud can happen easily (thankfully in my experience they're decent at detecting and refunding fraudulent spend)

Edit: I would caution people commenting here to not use their own behavior as examples of how an ad platform is/isn't effective. HN users tend to be significant outliers vs. the general population.
If it's view-only, request-response replaying could be a viable option. Browser software can be emulated.
Postscript: all comments adjacent to "I'm disappointed to see x on HN" is absolutely against the ethos of the site and intellectual discussion in general - please never use it here.
I would go even further:there should be a free market of unions for workers and employees to choose from. If you believe that the virtues of markets are absolute, then having complete freedom for unions should be the norm: they would autoregulate themselves and be beneficials for the workers, the companies and the society. I genuinely believe that if you are against unions, you are more communist than capitalist.
That's why it's important to have an off-topic containment section on the same forum. Give the regulars a place to have their social chats while not spamming up the on-topic threads.
YAY! Some thoughts about the article. In my country and many others it is for sure already illegal to pay ransom. Would say it applies to the entire EU at least. Every company that paid should be prosecuted. I work for a company that payed ransom. Yes, it was illegal, and yes, the company is owned by "dudes"...
"After all, we'd rather have that cash in a bank account than tied up in inventory."

The "We" includes you.

And it is inherent in our society what we add layer of layer of complexity.
Would you be making the same statement if covid hadn't happened? I think companies realized that net net, JIT is more profitable and they'll worry about the outliers when/if they happen.
"good preparation" for artichokes in my life has always just meant "a good and thorough steaming". Nothing more. Helps to eat with a good garlic mayonnaise, but not critical.
I couldn't care less. Supply chains are already massively disrupted, I can't get the electronics I care about at affordable prices and lead times, and everyday costs are out of control in my country (USA).
A company is nothing more than the collection of its employees. Without employees, the company does not exist. There may be some legal fiction around registration and taxes and similar, but make no mistake, without people those legal fictions cannot make plans, cannot advocate for itself, cannot change direction, _cannot exist_.

A company is its people. Full stop.
any sources or mode details on this?
> Your anarchy already exists

I never disputed that, but there's a difference between embracing it as a "true market" vs setting the kinds of limits that governments can set and enforce.

Because contrary to your claim;

> Government enables this kind of trickery.

There is no "trickery" going on and equating the modern day state of things, with let's for example 200 years ago, it's very easy to show how things have gotten all around better.

Selling people used to be a very wide-spread, and even government endorsed, practice. Now it's generally considered very bad thing to do and criminalized by most nations.

Sure, that does not mean it completely stopped, but claiming it only exists because governments regulate it, is just backwards logic that makes no sense: The practice of slavery was there first, it's regulation and ultimately criminalization were acts of regulation that could never have happened without some form of authority enforcing them.
Not exactly a slow roll, recently a group of my friends engaged in a sit-in, and the police beat them then charged them with resisting or obstructing causing injury, a 5 year felony because despite not resisting the officers complained of soreness after beating them.

I just want to say the police are almost universally monsters, and if you find yourself on a jury where someone is accused of violence against the police, consider not convicting, since the police are probably either lying or the accused acted in self-defense.
Yeah that's what digital nomads do. I live long term in the country I am located in so there's little doubt on where I need to pay my taxes.

Actually for Americans the rules are bit different in that Uncle Sam wants his cut even if they live overseas (over a certain amount IIRC) but for the rest of us it's purely residence based.
Great, what's it called? I will forward the link to the dev team in question :)
The Fickleness of Fame
Flexport CEO: Port of Long Beach stuck in “negative feedback loop”
Shakespeare wrote in what is referred to as "Early Modern English". It is no secret that his writings were a big influence in the evolution of the language itself. If you look at some of his contemporaries from the same period, however, their language will be very different and much harder to understand.
"But it is now old and not so sexy."

Yeah, maybe. But you're right, when it comes to metals, steel's vastly most substantial component, iron is about the most abundant metallic element in the universe, so it ain't gonna disappear from our manufacturing materials list anytime soon.

Iron and steels have their obvious problems - rust for instance, bad performance high high temperatures is another and it'd be nice if iron had properties more like say titanium but that's wishful thinking.

Taming iron to behave the way we want it to has always been and still is a major problem. For example, stainless steel is expensive and it's always been a bit of a kludge (the need for hundreds of different varieties of alloys attest to that; same goes for hardness, for instance, the many tool-steel-like alloys that are needed by industry).

If anything, we need considerably more material science research to make iron alloys much better than they are now and thus make them appear very sexy to everyone's eyes.
> Check if your hardware supports your OS before you buy it. Guess what? Then it all works great. What a waste of time.

Who runs into hardware compatibility issues with Linux? People installing it themselves.

Who installs Linux themselves? Tech geeks/enthusiasts.

Who should know better than to install an operating system before checking for hardware support? Tech geeks/enthusiasts.

That's why I can't take those people seriously. If hardware support was a real problem, Apple would have gone out of business long ago. People like that aren't trying to have an honest discussion, they're just trying to bash something they don't like or understand.

There are many issues that need to be overcome in the Linux community before the Linux desktop can go mainstream, but we're not going to find answers to those problems by listening to these people.

This is an issue with their proficiency, not their OS. Windows Terminal is amazing, as it integrates PowerShell with WSL; you can run a full bash session in Ubuntu on Windows next to a full PowerShell instance. I can start my Windows laptop directly to a console, and never even look at a GUI.

edit: I think the sibling comment is making the same point. Here is the link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/

How do the nurses know where to send the triage without a broad medical education? This has been tried and fails, and when it is fails it is not pretty. Nurses will just refer their patients to 2-3 specialists in a shotgun approach, while at the same time missing "can't miss" diagnoses that never get a referral.

Medicine is not tech support with tier levels :( I would stick to talking about things you know, because medicine is not one of them.
It's funny to read that thread. There is stuff I agree with there! And more stuff I disagree with or is totally unfounded.

- First of all, I have no interest in or patience for Ayn Rand. I don't know any economists who take her remotely seriously. All of the American economists I know are on the left politically. So are most of the non-American economists I know. There are, of course, prominent exceptions to the rule.

- I don't know why we are accused of having no theory of prices? I teach that in week 2 of my principles of microeconomics class. I don't teach inflation b/c I don't teach macro, but they do have theories.

- We don't assume people have perfect information, with the possible exception of using it as a very simple benchmark case on our way to something more complicated and realistic. Incomplete/imperfect information has been a central feature of all theoretical and empirical work in the profession for more than 40 years now.

- He shares a post about concentration in meatpacking. I agree that we have allowed many markets to become too concentrated, including meatpacking! I am in favor of stronger antitrust enforcement! My entire sub-field is empirical studies of imperfectly competitive industries.

- Skipping several tweets (there is really too much here to argue with every point...) we have talked about the CORE textbook in my department. Most of us put it on our syllabi. It is free, after all. As a comment on Doctorow's take: every Principles textbook mentions the environment because every Principles textbook talks about externalities. I spend a week on the subject.

Again, I confirm my impression that he doesn't know anything about economics or competition policy, but studying it more seriously would be to his benefit, especially in commenting on technology and regulation issues.
"your language is not backed by a big corp, therefore it is useless"

This aged very well..
I happened to be listening to that track when I read your comment. My complaint about that track is that it's very muddy (none of the instruments playing together sound very clear).

I went and listened to River Deep- same problem. Just too much sound and poor mixing. Now I'm listening to Let It Down- definitely much cleaner-sounding (less warble and garble).

When it comes to multitrack recordings from the 1960s I still think the best is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983..._(A_Merman_I_Should_Tur... which Hendrix was disappointed in (compared to both the Beach Boys and Beatles concept albums) but has an excellent stereo image, instrument separation, dynamic range, low background noise...

2048-bit AES encryption? Considering AES usually is 128bit and sometimes 256bit, that's a tall order. In fact, can you even call it AES with a straight face if you are dealing with 2048bit keys? AFAIK the AES standard only covers 128/192/256 bit keys.
What? Half of the country voted for this guy. That's a pretty large pool of people to pull from for future employees.
There are hundreds of 2 bit hacks like this floating around. They'd be lucky to last 10 years, let alone five hundred.
> 6. PulseAudio continues to be the answer to the question nobody asked.

1. How do I change the output destination for audio from typical desktop/consumer apps without building it into ever such app?

2. How do I deliver audio across a network?

3. How do I use bluetooth audio devices that (were) not yet supported by the ALSA stack?

4. How do I allow multiple applications to use the same audio hardware without either (a) requiring (like JACK) that they all use the same sample rate and buffer size or (b) using the rather unreliable dmix ALSA library layer?

5. How do I provide a common volume control panel that allows to me control the relative gain of different applications all in one place ?

I could go on.
I don't really understand the point of this article. The vast majority of these things don't affect me of a day to day Linux Desktop user. I get that these are "problems" about Linux but the focus on "on the Desktop" makes it seem like it affects my end experience as a user on the desktop which 90% of the time it doesn't. A lot of this may be distro specific as well. I have been on Manjaro for the last 5 years and haven't looked back. Previously I was on Linux Mint and I wasn't a fan of Debian based OS on the desktop, rolling release works much better for me and Manjaro curbs the risk of this by having its own repos. I rarely find any software that I need to install that's outside of the AUR. I've never had a distro update that's broken everything, unlike when I was on Debian based desktop OSes. It's been a long time since I've had to do dodgy stuff like edit config files or compile drivers from source - having access to the latest kernel, unlike on Debian desktop devices, is awesome for this.

I'm not saying this stuff isn't valid and shouldn't be addressed but Windows, Mac, everything is kind of a shitshow behind the scenes cobbled together, and it makes sense that a desktop OS is going to be less clean and more buggy in that regard.
I wasn't sure if they formally charged you. My state says they have 5 years to complete the trial (or maybe initiate after charging).

Good luck!
It sounds like what you really want is a high-level portable assembler. Which, to be fair, is one of the niches that C has occupied... but I'm not convinced it's optimally designed for that in general, even leaving UB aside.

But back in DOS days, there was something called Sphinx C--: https://bkhome.org/archive/goosee/cmm/c--doc.htm. A modern cross-arch reincarnation of that could be interesting.
Put it on the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin wont be around anymore but I am sure the chain will still be somewhere.
I'm not sure if there's already a term for this, but the "lack of permanency" is going to be an absolutely massive problem for future genealogists.

Here's an example of how genealogy research looks in the modern day:

* Newspapers (Headlines, Obits, Engagement/Marriage announcements)

* Handwritten letters

* Census records

* Physical photographs

* [Depending on century, location, and religious denomination] Baptism records

* Family Bibles

* Military enlistment paperwork [assuming that it wasn't destroyed in a fire.]

* White & Yellow pages

Much of this physical information has been digitized, but for information that was birthed digitally is precariously susceptible to complete loss once a website goes offline, or a hard drive fails, or any other number of issues that happens to things over the centuries. War, the elements, material shortages, etc.

There's other sources, of course. A big one is first-hand accounts of the past, but even such verbal interviews should be conducted with objects or photos to help jog the interviewees memories of the event.

The majority of how personal memories are being stored are on phones, in hard drives, and other various media that are susceptible to bit rot, proprietary encryption methods, technology or social media platforms that have already gone defunct. This is a trend which is quickly increasing too. If some serious solutions aren't proposed and adopted very soon, it seems highly likely that there's basically just going to be a giant void from the late 90's to at least the 2030's.

Heck, just think about how 10 to 20 years ago, the most common way to get a PC game was on CD. Now it would be an inconvenience because very few people even have a headphone jack, let alone a CD/DVD drive.

Yes, been a web developer since 1994. Framework churn is THE WORST. Ugh. Really, nothing in terms of outside appearance has changed. The web looks pretty much identical to when I was locked up in 2013. There are a lot more ads, and way more video ads. The Web uses up waaaay more RAM and CPU.

Development, though, has been a bitch since I got out a couple of months ago. I want to use the latest frameworks, but I'm starting from zero again. None of the old frameworks even exist. I feel like I'm 5 years old again.

The code I've written in the last few weeks has all been very old fashioned! I just needed to get the job done.

I had zero access to the Internet in all that time. The biggest thing I found was TikTok. I fucking love TikTok. From the inside we would see the occasional video on the news, but it just looked like it was to make videos of people dancing, but it's actually fucking awesome for those of us with "neurodiversity".

One last thing - out of the, like, 1000 online account I had... only 2 were accessible once I got out. Wikipedia and eSnipe. Can't get into anything else. Don't have ready access to the email address used on a lot of them. The others have an email address on a domain I own, but I can't change the nameservers because I can't get into the account, but my friend paid the domain fees while I was locked up, so I still "own" the domain. I can't get anything back as the court owns all the identity documents that I have and won't let me have them. In fact, when I asked a couple of weeks ago they said they have no idea where they put them all.

Oh, and everything is SSL now. That wasn't a thing in 2013.

Any other questions, fire away. It's a fascinating topic. I do feel like I teleported 8 years into the future.
