I never understood how some people seem to not know that Lenovo and IBM are not the same company. When Lenovo, a completely different company, bought the rights to manufacture IBM products in 2005, the Think* brand was no longer IBM. The author states, eventually, his point being that Lenovo lost it’s mojo, but it never had any. The Thinkpads people remember with mojo were the IBM ones, and some Lenovo branded ones after the handoff, but that’s really just residual “mojo” from the old teams and processes. Lenovo was never good, and really isn’t now, and has a long record of bad behavior.
Not to mention that our extended families are in the opposite side of the world, so we hardly ever see them.

Arguably this is Valve's fault because they insist on putting a ton of stuff in secure folders (under Program Files) instead of where they belong (in the user's home/data directories)

They've had a LONG time to fix this.
>For instance, BTC still hasn't recovered from the latest crash a few months ago...

Bad take, you obviously haven't seen the price chart in a while. BTC had new all time highs just a few days ago.

Tesla has halved and recovered multiple times as well. Feel free to put forth a better argument, this one is weak.
Not long ago I upgraded an Ubuntu system to 21.04. It took me more than half an hour of looking around to realise that the "Ubuntu Software" screen everyone was referring to was a separate application that wasn't installed by default. Then I could look up the CLI command to install it via apt.

That sort of thing would be a small (though very irritating) waste of time for many of us on HN but it could have been a showstopper for other potential Ubuntu users who aren't technically inclined and just want a system that works.

Unfortunately in my experience that still sums up desktop Linux in a nutshell. You probably can fix just about anything if you know what you're doing. If you do, you get the benefits that come with running Linux, including avoiding the kind of controlling behaviours we see from Microsoft and Apple in their desktop platforms these days. But the reality is that most normal people won't know what they're doing to that degree and so can't fix the problems.

So continues the cycle where "normal people" don't use Linux and so there is no big market for commercial applications and so most commercial applications don't run on Linux and so "normal people" don't use Linux.
As a public company, it's arguably already sliced that way. What difference would it make if it's sliced further?

It really depends on the city. Mine has a lot of green space, and a lot more outside of it if you hop on the train. It is not lacking in gardeners, bird watchers, hikers and the other varieties of nature lovers. Mushroom picking is pretty big amd I do look at the stars from my balcony, though they're nothing like those you see in the sticks.
I got none of that from this article. I felt the author was trying to express the need for balanced considered approach to change rather than just a blind push to implement what the Dutch have. There's weakness inherent in the Dutch model, and while it might be the perceived pinnacle we've achieved as humanity, perhaps there's a better model if we consider it further.

That's what I got here.
Where is the spec? Why are there spaces after the commas? Why does the example not include a string with commas in it?

> If a compact columnar representation is what you're after to avoid having to repeat every field name in an array of objects (which CSV is good for)

Plus, as I wrote elsewhere, gzipping your JSON will result in essentially "avoiding having to repeat every field name" by dictionary coding it. The only case in which that wouldn't be true is when dealing with extremely unusual and heteromorphic data, but then this format doesn't seem to support such data at all.

I'm also mystified that the author claims this is readable. It looks eminently unreadable compared with JSON, if you have anything beyond one row of very simple data with all optional fields present. And, in that case, it's basically just 'JSON with the keys on a different row'.

(Congrats to the author, but this is more of a fun personal project rather than something to seriously present as a 'JSON killer'. If you do present it as a JSON killer, then you have to expect a rigorous review.)
Does that mean 75% of people that are hospitalised specifically due to effects of Coronavirus were unvaccinated?

Or does it mean that 75% of people that were hospitalised for any cause, and that then subsequently tested positive, were found to be unvaccinated?

There's a big difference between the two. It would still be interesting if it were the latter, as that might indicate vaccination was somehow protecting the vaccinated against hospitalisation for causes that weren't immediately identifiable as being related to Coronavirus. I mean, it could be the case that the unvaccinated were suffering cognitive effects of infection that made them more likely to be in car crashes, for example.

I skimmed through the video and did not pay attention to what they were talking about at all. The thing feels strange to me is that there was almost nobody else appeared in the video. Nobody was doing anything in the garden or just walking in the fields to enjoy the nature. The images taken from the sky also showed no sign of human activity. Again, I just skimmed through the video and I may have missed them.
I think this answer is wrong or very dangerous, but I am not a lawyer.

The AGPL v3 says:

>... your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network .... an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.....

When you have the permission from all copyright holder to make an exception to the AGPL you do not have to publish the source code. Otherwise you have to publish it. If it is an open source project with many contributors and the copyright stays at the original authors getting such a permission is practically impossible.
Is this autobiographical or a work of fiction? Yes. He does not trust in the reality of his own words. Why should you?

I tell everyone about Firefox and uBlock Origin. Blocking YouTube ads is enough of an argument to convince anyone to at least try it out. I've never seen someone who didn't love the ad-free web experience. It's actually safe to just install this software on random computers: people's quality of life will be invisibly yet thoroughly improved, they will notice that things are just better even if they can't explain why. They'll be a lot safer from malware too.

The objective is to reduce the return on investment of advertisers as much as possible. This will only happen in significant enough numbers once a significant portion of the population is blocking ads. It's our moral imperative to spread ad blocking technology far and wide.
I'm not the person you were replying to, but here's the straw that broke this multilingual camel's back: unless Gnome is running under Wayland, switching the keyboard layout steals the input focus away from the foreground window briefly, causing focus-loss event handlers to fire. This might seem an easily fixable minor issue but it's actually a decade-old hairball which significantly harms the experience and can't be fixed cleanly under X.

And what's wrong with that? At the end of the day, they need revenue to continue development. And this is a good balance between allowing FOSS use-cases whilst not allowing free-loading from proprietary, commercial uses.
I see a benchmark for the data size... But as other comments have suggested gzip should remove the majority of that difference.

True, at least sex workers can go to the police if something happens, but as i wrote in another comment, it solves a ~minor problem and is not the to-go-and-solve-everything-solution.
Ewaste isn’t just about security updates, but yes, Apple does legitimately have one of the best software support stories on the industry. My critiques generally come from a place of admiration and respect and wanting them to excel. Same as my critiques of the American government.
Do you have an API? Both pushing markers and pulling predictions is interesting. I believe a lot of ppl on HN who take this seriously already have at least some contraptions where integration is valuable (instead of "fifteenth competing standard")
It's false to suggest that we can't develop an understanding of how people arrive at their conclusions.

If you work in the field of Marketing, PR or Communications for just a few days, it becomes pretty clear how people come to believe what they do.

What is 'impossible' - is for a material portion of the population to arrive at the specific conclusion that 'XYZ drug is beneficial for ABC disease' without having popular sources for that information: they have to hear it or read it somewhere. The greater the voice, the greater the credibility of the source in the mind of the recipient, the greater the likelihood that information becomes sticky. While there are other factors, the primary vehicle of the message is paramount. It's also measurable.

In fact it is your statement that miscommunicates the ongoing nature of the pandemic:

While COVID may linger for some time, there is no evidence as of yet that it will remain endemic - we don't know that.

Also - pandemic itself will definitely pass - as all pandemics in history.

COVID may or may not linger around in one form or another, but we will, at some point, back off from public health emergency status.
I have been very interested in this project, but I have not had time to implement it in my workflow. Particularly a project that was on my radar several years ago, but it seems to have lost momentum is tail2futhark[1], a way of compiling APL via tail into futhark for easier gpu programming from APL. I love array languages, and J was my first, followed by APL, and a bit of k. I am noticing a lot of uptake of the array languages this year based on YT content and traffic on the usual array hangouts.
In trying to make APL my primary PL, I have been playing with April[2], a subset of APL in Lisp, another old favorite PL. It is a blast. I am honing both my Lisp and APL skills, and they seem to cover each other's weaknesses for easier adoption in the general programming world.

Supposedly until the “end of the year”, but I would really like an update on that.

Would be quite pissed, if they’d sorry out mid December, as I am somewhat holding off for them.

For cultural differences, I can see a comparatively huge market in Europe. But I am sure the logistics are considerable. For what it’s worth: Framework, many people here would prefer the US keyboard layout for programming; there is a market for what you got already, no need to wait for QWERTZ, if hardware localization is an issue!
That title doesn't match the content at all. Yes, it's cycling heaven here, and yes, it's fantastic and I wouldn't trade it for any other infrastructure in the world — but of course there are some trade-offs, and this article lists a number of minor downsides.

> In this essay, he mentions not knowing what a schizophrenic experiences, and then talks about his preoccupation with what is real, how reality seems fake, and startling coincidences that seem like precognition.

The sense that some things are real and other things are fake is present in virtually all philosophy and is probably part of being human. Sometimes, in philosophy, the empirical world (the way things appear to us) is fake and thought/categories/essences/ideal objects are real. Other times this is reversed, categories are seen as mere conventions, and reality is just empirical measurements with no "real" way to order them.
It seems like we have all the pieces where the part of the corporate network that's exposed to employees in the office doesn't have to be terribly special or locked down.

With all the work-from-home shifting, they are already used to dealing with devices coming from networks they can't control. So they could just treat the office floor network similarly.
Well, I think the idea above wasn't that you shift your schedule (relative to the Sun) but that you keep it and get used to that your work day starts at what used to be 9AM but now the clock says it's 9PM. And it would be 9PM at the same time in Beijing, and in London but you'd have to know that 9PM means evening in Beijing and early afternoon in London. Which is a lot harder and a lot more to remember than simply knowing the TZ difference to these two cities. (Because you'd have to remember when the morning starts, when it ends, when afternoon starts, ends, etc. for each timezone.)

Yup. Given, too, that it was presented at the Dutch Cycling Embassy, I (as a Dutchman) read this as the author trying to raise the bar/challenging the Dutch discussion on transit (or Movement, as her book is called) not to get complacent.
I've been there and don't remember that. But I did hear this complaint about other cities and it always struck me as odd. People have no issues standing on the sidewalk as cars whiz around them and they feel safe. A bike going very fast in its own lane next to you is most of the time slower than a car and about 100 times lighter. And thus at least so much less dangerous. People have a right to feel whatever they want, but the numbers show it's a lot safer to be a pedestrian in a bike friendly city than a car friendly city.
You couldn't make it up -

"the ominous opening: “Thou still unravish’d bride.” Keats himself is not trying to convince us that “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” but to ask us to consider the kinds of people who might say so, and what their motivations might be." -

I feel like this is exactly where Microsoft ist aiming for with VSCode, Codespaces etc:

1. Give away the Code Editor as Open source, but make important Plugins (Python Development, Live Share,...) closed source.

2. Make the life for developers easier/ more productive by integrating cloud offerings. Oh, you're starting a python project? Use our code space for development and click here to automatically deploy it to Azure, everything correctly configured. No need to deal with Ops.

3. Make $$$ with Cloud services and enterprise tooling.
Note that the "cycling heaven" the title refers to is the Netherlands in general. The Amsterdam city centre is probably one of the worst cycling experiences in the Netherlands due to the sheer number of people needing to share the limited space. Still vastly preferable over having all those people use cars though, and I'm sure outside of the centre it's much better.
Note that secureboot does have a minor advantage for encryption at rest. Making much weaker passwords acceptable. I am happy my work laptop has secureboot.
And I get why they lock down their device for me to use.

For devices I own, I gotta control the secure boot, or I simply don't own it.
If you've got some code, I'm happy to take a look.
Maybe it's different where you live, but in every American city I've visited I have that experience with cars almost hitting me instead.
This is similar to why enabling 2FA actually scared the heck out of me! I use a password manager to generate strong unique passwords, so I think the chances of someone getting in that way are incredibly low. But I can absolutely see myself loosing all of my 2FA keys some day in a freak accident.

Terravision (Computer Program)
You’re picking out an admittedly bad example in order to miss the point. Different data structures have different tradeoffs. Not every problem lends itself to the same type of optimization, so it’s not helpful to make these generalizations.

Continuing with the example regardless, change records and persistent data structures have different performance characteristics. The former is going fast if you move incrementally between states, the latter enables arbitrary access, comparison and efficient in memory caching of multiple views.

It would be interesting to explore and measure the trade offs under certain use cases.
And qwant.com. DDG, Brave and Qwant often give different results, although they don't differ by a mile, and that works for me.

Well tbh I would never leave a bike locked up in any kind of busy public place in the UK and expect it to be there when I got back either. But otoh I don't think bike theft has been turned into quite such a readily available service here!

My feelings of big cities:

NYC - cars, bikes and pedestrians all feel like they are the most important.

Paris - there are no rules, and someone will steal your bike anyway.

Amsterdam - bikes are on top and know it, cars and pedestrians can fight for the scraps.

Germany - cars are king. Some pedestrian crossings you even have to wait two lights to make it all the way across the road.
I’m not sayin this is impossible but… if it emerged that big tech was secretly spying on every citizen the political backlash would end these companies as we know them and every CEO would end up in jail. Or there is at least a 50 percent probability of that outcome. It’s hard to see these companies engaging in such practices out of self interested rationality.
Another part of the argument is 'good money' should not to be easy to debase. This is where 100% of Fiat currencies fail and Bitcoin succeeds.
I’m just asking about the mechanisms that force people out of their homes in US. Nothing more.

Here in the U.K. taxes etc don’t increase with property value, and eminent domain isn’t frequently used. So I lack the context to understand why increasing property values mean people are forced to leave, especially when I look around London and see thousands of people who bought their council homes 50 years ago, and are now living in properties that are worth many orders of magnitude more than what they bought them for. Notably, none of them have been forced out.

As for renters, well the mechanism is obvious, I don’t need someone to explain that to me.

I would love to have the feedback of a few Chinese people that were living in China before the car transition on that subject. I remember Beijing in the 90s with thousands of bicycles and it was a big jungle! After that experience, I started to think that only mass transit is going to be a real solution for dense cities.
In my experience most people at government orgs simply follow the recommendations of 'someone' else. Said someone is in the pocket of some vendor, and 'champions' their cause. The relatively few folk that actually understand the details, are usually not the type to be able to wine n dine their management (because no vendor supported expense budget). Or worse, are single handedly tasked with the responsibility, and no reward (outside of securing your 'country', which effort will be diluted in front of your eyes anyway).

Everyone just buys the ABC company's TPM to put it into their heads and out of their minds.

If you're looking for a "windows desktop replacement", you should probably compare it to one of the "big" desktop projects - ie: Ubuntu standard desktop (not a spin, like xubuntu), Red Hat or SuSe.

It's also not clear which version of xubuntu you're running - 20.04 lts?

Personally I think 20.04 with Wayland and pipewire has made great strides as a "just works" Desktop - and I'm looking forward to the next lts (pipewire baked in, hopefully).

That said, I doubt much will beat an m1 Mac in the near future, if you're happy with apple/macos.
