This is the whole point of the movie. You'd think that the Kims are the obvious parasites, but if you look further, you realize that the Parks are the ones benefiting the most from other people's hard work.

For what it's worth, I found Kubuntu to be a much simpler and cleaner alternative to Ubuntu.
My main reason for running Linux is the Terminal.

I'm 35. Began with computers ~10. Spent my first 10 years using Windows, followed by 10 years of the Mac. I'm (hopefully) in my 10-year Linux run?!
As someone with RSI who uses speech recognition to control most software on my desktop, X11 -> Wayland has been a massive roadblock. Ad-infested Windows isn’t great, but at least it doesn’t feel like I’m fighting any devs just to be able to use my computer in an accessible manner.
Similar here. Was pumped in an RCA with "why?" multiple times. The 'root cause' was I fucked up and missed something. But that was because "prod was broken right then, fix ASAP!" and no one else understands the problem, and we're understaffed, and people 'reviewed' the code without understanding what it was doing (or why) and one 'fix' led to another problem, and that 'fix' led to a third, and trying to explain this in an 'RCA' meeting confused the heck out of everyone because there were 3 different days/times people saw the problem, and could not understand it was one original thing that triggered, with cascading problems in the 'fixes', etc.

You keep asking "why?" and only want one 'thing' to be 'actionable'... you will raise my frustration level. The root cause is an emergent property of understaffing, poor communication practices and a belief that everything can be reduced to a jira card providing sufficient context and understanding for a diverse audience with different skills and needs.

Generalized Out-of-Distribution Detection: A Survey

Aren't these reasons (even if they are convincing) apply to Mac systems as well?
You can do that, but I don't know if I'd recommend it. You'd have to think about what your requirements for the application are. GTK3 is currently stable but will not gain any new features, and all progress is happening in GTK4. So if you don't need any of the new features then you could use GTK3.

Personally I don't think the look needs to be a major factor in your decision though. If you wanted some new features from GTK4 and wanted it to "look at home", and you really wanted to not use any GNOME APIs, then you could avoid using libadwaita and apply the theme yourself. Libadwaita is only useful if you want to follow the current GNOME HIG. I think if MATE/Xfce want to upgrade from GTK3 they would have to do this eventually anyway, and it would actually probably provide a better experience than GTK3 themes did. Also, GTK never had a HIG. You're thinking of the GNOME HIG, and the GNOME 2 HIG is pretty out dated. I think even MATE/Xfce would want to change some of those things in there that we know don't work well with the benefit of 15-20 years of hindsight.
Really neat article, love things like this on HN. I thought this was really interesting:

> A bamboo stem reaches its maximum height in just a few months and shall not grow taller or thicker over time. In the following 4 years the fibers will "lignify" and get their extraordinary mechanical properties in terms of hardness, strength, density.

That seems pretty fascinating to me. Are there any other plants/trees that grow like that? I mean, from my naive knowledge, trees go wider with a new ring every year.

It's not exactly like that. Kroger and Safeway cannot prevent potato chips from being sold outside of Kroger and Safeway.

PyTorch's serialized models are just Python pickle files. So to load those you need the original classes that were used to build the model. By converting to ONNX you get rid of those dependencies.
Just to clarify, does emacs/magit really pop up when you run "git rebase -i" on the command line? I haven't experienced this, but maybe that's because my EDITOR env var is set to "vim". I would find that very annoying.

I like magit, but I never figured out the rebase flow with it, so I just do that on the command line.

Where magit really shines for me is being able to stage and unstage hunks of code very easily. Looking at my current changes, stashing and un-stashing, searching through git log, seeing the diff of a particular commit, quickly fetching from upstream or switching branches... All of that becomes quick and easy once the key bindings become second nature. There are definitely major quirks of the UI / UX, but I found it worth fighting through that.

edit: I've re-read your post again, and I would just like to reiterate that staying away from magit's interactive rebase might be a good idea. Besides that, I also try to stay away from triggering ediff mode -- even after spending time with it and getting to know how it works, I've decided that it's simply not very good.

Games would've been the big one, but that reason is disappearing pretty quickly. Proton is pretty incredible, and I believe there's been a recent development to allow games that use anti-cheat to work in the near future. More people on Linux for games means more attention to the Linux desktop, which hopefully means faster improvement to it.

We'll see what actually happens of course, but Valve taking an interest really gives me hope (big company with lots of resources to throw at problems).

Something in a similar vein that I enjoy a lot is RimWorld. It's more of a simulation than an RPG, but it has some similar vibes. Especially if you tone down the combat portions of the game in the difficulty settings so you can focus more on base building and exploring rather than getting raided by Mad Max vagabonds every few days.

Conservatives tend to think in terms of structure and order. That is why you will hear them babble on about things being "Unconstitutional!" all the time as if that has any meaning in the real world.

Liberals tend to think they can manifest reality just by saying the right thing. This causes them to be very vigilant about the words we use to describe things and they also think things like putting up a gun free zone sign at a school will prevent school shootings.

When a cop is beating a liberal to death with a stick, the liberal understands the cop is exercising his power and will get away with it. When a cop is beating a conservative to death with a stick the conservative will righteously complain about how that's illegal and I want this bad apple's badge number.

Over in reality, the company’s operations burned $34 million in 2020, and they’re projected to burn $133 million in 2021. In the rest of the deck, Aspiration refers to its “EBITDAM profitability this quarter” and then uses EBITDAM throughout its financial analysis. Which is rich for a company whose entire (projected) profit model is dependent on explosive customer acquisition, which (to date) has been really, really expensive.

And I just love comments like this hah

This is a firm that registered less than $15 million in revenue last year. PayPal makes $15 million in revenue every five hours. It’s less than most NFL starting quarterbacks made in 2020 — Leo’s former girlfriend’s husband made over twice that.
Looks like half the unit is dedicated to the inverter & charger & BMS instead of battery.

It would be nice to have something like this in 1U rack form that was 100% battery (& BMS) and then have a separate 1U module for just inverter & charger. And have it so that the batteries can be chained in sequence to provide more capacity and/or current.

Maybe such a product exists?
I triple boot; there are things I can only really do on Windows with full support (commercial art programs, Unreal Engine), but for software development and general usage Linux wins hands down; even the ability to switch out a wm and have it customized for my workflow is a major win, and the command line utilities and environment aren't even comparable. My third is OpenBSD, since I run that on my servers.

Use the best tool for the job.
Data's Secret Sauce
Is this user specific though? I mainly still use a 2013 MacBook Air and I’ve never had power management issues. I can work 10-12 hours on a full charge. Recharge is pretty quick. 90% of my usage is browser, text editor, light terminal, and a pretty basic dev environment. The only times I’ve hit performance issues is working with video editing and graphics. I don’t game and don’t edit videos , so that was a minor pothole on this long journey.

If this is the main benefit of M1 I’m likely to be under welmed is what I’m thinking. I’ll upgrade to it next, but it’s not going to force me to upgrade. I expect at some point Apple will start making my device suck via MacOS updates like they’ve done with iOS and those devices.
It would be interesting to know if the difference in deaths between solar, wind and nuclear is from how the mining of rare earth minerals differs from mining of uranium. Is it because of the quantity, the different countries where the mining occur and related safety regulations, or something else?

But regardless of how we cut it, if we include hydro with renewables then nuclear is safer. Arguably hydro has one of the highest rate of human life per produced unit of energy, depending on how one want to account for deaths caused by failing dams (intentionally and unintentionally). If we only look at accidents and compared chernobyl in 1986 with Banqiao in 1975, chernobyl had around 100 deaths and 68,000 people displaced. Banqiao had 26,000 deaths and millions of people displaced. If we include later deaths caused by illnesses such as cancer, chernobyl is estimated to have about 4,000 deaths while Banqiao is attributed to about 145,000 deahts.

It is simply a fact that elevated 492 million m3 of water has a massive amount of destructive power, and is to a degree harder to make safe than a fission reaction.

> Not having to reveal the passcode has been the rule for a while

No, its not. It is an issue that is left open in US Supreme Court Fifth Amendment case law, and on which lower courts are split.

> Not being allowed to bring that refusal up as evidence of guilt on Fifth Amendment grounds during the trial is new

No, it is well-established that you can't raise use of Fifth Amendment self-incrimination rights to suggest guilt, so if not revealing passcodes is protected (which is the point in dispute that EFF is arguing to the Utah Supreme Court, and which the court immediately below agreed with), there is no dispute that refusal can't also be used to suggest guilt.
Probably go bankrupt and/or lay off a lot of employees in a globally consequential way. I'm not arguing it would be a good idea, I'm arguing that it does in fact matter who controls that capital, as evidenced by what would happen if you redistributed a fifth of it in the dumbest way possible.
I personally have very strong opinions on what OS I want to use, on my own computer. (Not Linux, and not Windows either.)

However, I recognize that this is a matter of opinion. I don’t really care what OS other people choose. There will probably never be an OS that everyone will love.

So my stance is this: Just let people use whatever OS they’re happy and productive with. And where they can find applications they like. IMHO, having a nice selection of applications is just as important as the OS itself. For me, that is a compelling argument in favour of macOS. But if people can find applications they enjoy on Windows and Linux, then bully for them.

And when it comes to regular users who just want something that works – then it might be wise to not even use a traditional desktop OS. iOS/iPadOS and Android/Chrome OS are much more user-friendly than Windows/Mac/Linux will ever be.

“To convey an adequate idea of a book of such various merits as that which the author of Typee and Omoo has here placed before the reading public, is impossible in the scope of a review. High philosophy, liberal feeling, abstruse metaphysics popularly phrased, soaring speculation, a style as many-coloured as the theme, yet always good, and often admirable; fertile fancy, ingenious construction, playful learning, and an unusual power of enchaining the interest, and rising to the verge of the sublime, without overpassing that narrow boundary which plunges the ambitious penman into the ridiculous; all these are possessed by Herman Melville, and exemplified in these volumes.”

If you think they didn't have slang in the 19th century then you are mistaken. You can't compare academic writing to slang and pretend society has devolved. We live in a time where people who would be locked out of the publication process for "reasons" can now write books. Where literacy is the highest ever. Where more books get published than ever. The incredible progress in publishing should be praised, not disingenuously mocked.
The point of this whole Theranos thing is that medical product conversations need to be based on science, not marketing.

If you’ve made this breakthrough, show us.

I'm not even going to dispute any other weird claims. But this is such easy to refute by basic statistics.

Japan has ~50k prisoners, for 125m society. USA has 2000k for 325m population. That's 20x bigger rate.

But yes, Japan is the pristine example of socialism, that's why our prime capitalistic USA has only 20x less constitutionally permitted slaves.

The fallacy of this analogy is that Law/Constitution being valued by conservatives refers to the direct rights of an individual, whereas Gun Free Zones are not a "right" of an individual, and actually infringes on the right of other individuals to "keep and bear arms".
Off topic: since I've never developed apps for Linux, what is the popular language/API that people use for Linux (or better, cross platform) development these days?

I thought to myself, reminds me of the ol' "This is the year of Linux on the desktop"! But then I wondered, how long have I been reading THIS is the year?

Found this old headline on Slashdot: "Linus Says 2004 is the Year for Desktop Linux"

For me, at least, 2015 was the year of Linux on the desktop. I could get the sound and fans to work (Finally!) all the time without much work. The graphics card was finally stable. I could do nearly everything I needed to do on Linux and it more or less "just worked" most of the time. That's all I really want in an OS. Windows is probably required for most work and no small number of people get along just fine on MacOS. Linux gets the job done now, and it's stable and things tend to work really well without any major problems. Or so I've found, I know not everyone agrees and depending on what your work is like, things will be different. I've written before about how I find Linux to be a better OS on a home build desktop than my nearly new M1 Macmini. Just yesterday this damn thing gave me a greenscreen kernel panic for no apparent reason in the middle of an important meeting.

> Since they were able to invest only the premium paid in, I don't see why this isn't a useful metric. If they return 4000% on every dollar I give them but I only choose to give them 1% of my wealth, then the lower aggregate returns are on me.

I feel there's a misunderstanding of what Universa is and this keeps confusing people.

Universa is not an alpha fund. You don't give money to Universa with the aim that they'll generate steady income, or even any income. They are basically an insurance product. If nothing happens for 10 years, they'll just steadily lose money (this is expected) in the form of the premium. In fact, in absence of market crashes, the expected value of Universa is negative.

>Dividing by a higher notional amount would be justified if the Universea funds could cause investors to lose more than their initial investment, in the same way that futures contracts have a notional value far in excess of their face value. However, I do not think the Universea funds work in this way.

That's not at all how you think of a tail protection fund like Universa.

The premium is just a constraint, not a risk metric. Say your portfolio makes 10% a year and you are willing to invest 1% of that in protection. That 1% premium spending is your constraint, nothing more. But your risk metric is the capital that you wish to insure, not the premium. It then follows that you should calculate the Universa return as a % of the capital you want to protect, not the premium you spend to protect it.

Exmaple: you have assets worth $100 and you want to spend $1 on protection (Universa). You determine that in a 2020 style market stress event you'd be expected to suffer a 20% drawdown. Beyond protection efficiency analyses, you really don't care what your return on premium is, you care that for the 1% premium spent, your protection is expected to earn enough as a % of your assets that your total drawdowns become manageable. The premium just puts a ceiling on the overall insurance level you can afford for your portfolio, but again for this you need to think in terms of % return of your portfolio value.
