Except if you pay attention to any of this you see that they mostly forward unchallenged claims, if they fit a narrative, and do not follow-up, offer no backstory.
I'm a bit more optimistic. Only something like 2% of the U.S. is urban.

If it became problematic that people didn't own homes, but wanted to, they could easily just open land for building.

They may own all the land around cities and all the corporations move there. There by making "corporate cities", but at the end of the day, people can create their own thing like they did in the past.
Jupiter and Saturn are not made entirely out of gas. They are made mostly out of atoms that form gases on earth.

For example, Jupiter is thought to have a solid core composed of solids twice as dense as earth's core. On top of this is a ocean of liquid metallic hydrogen. On top of that is the gas phase atmosphere.

I see a lot of people asking for a light distro and then they are disappointed because the performance is not what they expected.

When you use a modern browser, your lightweight distro doesn't matter anymore. The web stack is heavy, even if sites are coded with performance in mind.

There was a problem with some of the SSDs where they corrupt themselves on powerloss.

That’s a totally different reason, and afaik, they should be using proper caps to let the controller write/flush their buffers.

My last MacBook Pro was 7 years old, almost always full, and still works fine. Granted I’m not a video editor, but I had quite some write cycles.

> Where does "these are really good points, but why don't we have tooling which sets everything up automatically?" fit on the scale?

My guess it fits nowhere because the L5s don't have the ability to automate it, and the L6s think it's trivial and as it's done sparingly then it doesn't justify the work to do things differently.

And this is why we can't have nice things.
I have fond memories of working in an environment where we sometimes resolved differences with heated arguments.

Apple TV is at this point, the underdog that most people don't know about. Probably 1 out 50 persons even know it exists around me.

So I wager they wanted very hard that the name of Asimov created a fan base that would carry their own PR.

Otherwise, why chose the book at all ? After all, as you said, it's almost impossible to adapt, so they didn't buy the rights for the writing.

I think this is a big part of why a lot of the US got cable a bit later than other places.

Because we dropped hourly billing for ISPs and didn't really have a tradition of time-billing for local POTS calls, dial-up Internet really wasn't very expensive at all by '97.

As a result, cable-modem services were probably quite a bit more expensive than dial-up when they were new for the majority of people.

This was the era when we were still trying to convince most adults that the Internet was actually something they needed access to, so justifying the kinds of pricing we have now would likely have been impossible for all but a handful of geeks in those days.
Would parent's statement be more accurate if they said MediaWiki?
Exactly. There’s a lot of wishful thinking that the show is criticized because it deviates from the books.

No, the show simply isn’t good. It suffers from the Netflix Disease. High production quality, painfully mediocre writing.
More importantly, they should be aware of their own biases. Human history shows that this is too much to ask, as we all have biases.

That is the whole point of having a transparent debate and looking at falsifiable evidence/tests.
Often in Google Docs and Notion, however usually it's in separate sections of a document. I've never seen three people writing different points on the same bullet list - sounds like it would result in an inconsistent writing style or conflicting information.
Losing money is pretty sweet?
Literally anything? Never let me go? The wizard of Earthsea? I have a hard time seeing how can anyone not agree with the parent's assessment. Foundation is interesting because of the idea/plot it presents. But the characters themselves bring little to the table. In a way the Foundation series is a good piece of conceptual art, but sci-fi novels.

I would argue that 1Q84 (don't read it!, it sucks) is the exact opposite. Interesting characters but lacking an overarching setting/plot.
Windows 11 has the anti-feature of not supporting the old processor anymore. Who knows why. Could be anything from simplifying QA and maintenance effort to not being able to (or not willing to) implement a feature on the older platform.

Compared to that, I don't know of a platform Fedora has recently deprecated. Linux usually takes a really long time to deprecate and remove support for old hardware.
Very similar here. Trying to reframe for myself so I’m less frustrated all the time but I’d really prefer to not have to deal with this for the rest of my life.
That would be 'Xoogler' because Google's engineering and broader corporate culture does not reward work like that and so when you realize that, you leave.

In general, Googlers have very little idea how far behind the rest of the industry they are when it comes to tooling.

I am a Xoogler.

We use it for meeting agenda / notes.

The note taker takes the note, while other people queue up the topics to talk about next.

I'm not suggesting this is the best way to take the meeting note and I'm happy to hear about the alternatives, but it is reasonably usable.

It doesn't look gorgeous either. People wouldn't like to distract the meeting through the doc, which is projected to the large screen in front of everyone.

That's not how SSD wear works because nobody completely writes to their SSD, erases it, and writes again.

You can't wear-level against blocks that are in use, only blocks that are free.

If every person I've helped socially and professionally is any indication, people keep their storage anywhere between 80% and 95% full.

At 95% full, all your write cycles are focused on just 5% (plus spare provisioned blocks.)

Think about how browsers consume all available memory and then readily push the system into using a lot of swap. I have to restart my browser regularly because of how much ram it uses even if I've closed every tab.

Think about how whole-system file content indexing is the norm, and all the write operations that occur every time a file is added or updated.

Think about how a lot of applications are just electron apps and they routinely update themselves.

Think about all the filesystem metadata changes.

Etc.

I agree. I wish people understood more of what these "institutional investors" are doing. The Fed has essentially trapped us in a system where the likes of blackrock get access to essentially free Fed printing press money right of the rollers that they then use to buy up real assets at inflated prices, which only drives up the inflation that thereby also drives up the value of previous purchases at near zero rate interest.

If you follow that logic to the final conclusion, you will find that these "institutional investors" only have incentive to not only buy up all the assets they can at near zero interest, but that doing so is a kind of self-perpetuating profit machine as inflation creates profits for them.

Yes, this is IMMENSELY dangerous.

Oh, and I did not mention that if it's not in collusion, the Fed has the tiger by the tail and is paralyzed with fear to such a degree that it simply cannot let go so as to at least have a chance of getting away in time, rather than the guaranteed demise of holding on to the tail and then eventually only getting ever more tired and the chance of survival crashing exponentially.
+1 to Ubiquiti. Just don't get their consumer gear its completely different products, get the pro gear.

I move a lot too and own the security gateway (just a NAT/controller with one ethernet port in and one ethernet port out) and then have 2 ap in my apartment. We only really need one but my partner and i each owned an AP when we moved in together. We keep them next to one desks for optimal WFH performance, and one in living room for use there. Def overkill, but our current apartment has metal in walls so it's nice.

They have a great progressively expandable system, so it'll age with you. They support mesh for the AP or hardwired, so you can upgrade/reuse them as living situations/wire access changes.
I've had hundreds of enterprise SSDs fail on my servers, but only a couple had any pre-failure indicators in SMART, including write volume which was pretty low. The post-failure indicator was almost consistently no longer visible through the disk controller.

Failure rate was much less than enterprise spinning disks, but at least with the spinners failed, you could still see them and get most of the data off, if you needed to. And they had reliable pre-failure indications.

TLDR: take regular backups and plan for storage to fail (which for soldered storage means plan to get a new device, I guess)
The use of such splines comes earlier from boat building.

Edge has built in support for vertical tabs, tab groups, and chrome extensions.

IMHO, Edge is the best chromium based browser out there, and for me is miles better than Chrome itself.

> I try very hard to remove all emotion and personal judgement with my interactions and treat everyone exactly the same. What is wrong with that.

This is perhaps not the best way for a lot of scenarios. Read a book like How to Win Friends and Influence People. Take every person you work with and list out their best qualities, list out what excites them (work wise and personally as far as you know). Keep these at the forefront of your mind when you talk to them. Have interactions with them within this context.

People like being appreciated, like knowing that others recognize their good qualities. Do it.

> Also, it is not possible for an SSD to decrease your usable storage space over time.

It totally could be possible. For Windows/Linux, you could have a daemon that creates a 'ssd_wear' file which grows in size as the SSD wears out, and messages to the SSD which physical blocks it occupies. Mac could obviously do a deeper integration directly into the OS.

> all of your blocks are on the verge of failure

A failed block still stores some information (in an information entropy sense). It's totally possible to store one blocks worth of information across two, four, or eight failed blocks (with extra error correction information).

Combining these two techniques, an SSD should never fail. Instead it slows down and gets smaller. Sadly as far as I'm aware, no consumer drive vendor has implemented these.

Germany typically pays PhD students as research or teaching assistant (there are Grad schools in CS but this is the minority at least in my lab) When I started in 2005 the salary was even better than in many industry CS jobs (today the situation changed a bit). The problem I faced was that afterwards the PhD was not actually really valued by industry and I could not get myself to do a boring industry job without being paid 'adequately' to compensate for the loss of freedom. So I stayed at university again. I still have my freedoms but am kind of stuck in the academic system. If I would have gone to industry straight away my salary would probably be much higher by now.
Great article. Something I really struggle with. That is accepting my brain and it's limitations. But working to improve it daily.

Sprawl allows the middle class to continue to exist? There are plenty of places that don't have nearly the level of sprawl that we have in the US; does the middle class not exist there? (Japan, for example.)

More money for roads? If the population increases but is pushed to the periphery, requiring new roads to support them, aren't we just digging ourselves in deeper? How does that pay for the existing roads?
To answer my own question: it doesn't, at least not on my system.

I can see the Firefox child process count maxing at around 10 processes with the default fission.autostart set to false:

> ps aux | grep "firefox.*childID" | wc -l

> 10

Also the about:processes page shows some processes containing 'Shared tabs'.

As soon as I flip fission.autostart to true it creates proper separate processes for each tab with the above ps aux command increasing the count as I open up tabs.
Your idea for improving the field:

> There needs to be a revolution that returns programming back into the hands of solitary nerds working on sheer competence.

sounds and awful lot like the problematic example you described:

> and only receive tasks after they were parceled out and dispatched to me via JIRA, where I could only see a small part of the picture and I was held to arbitrary metrics on performance.

IME, only the simplest technical projects, with completely pre-defined inputs and outputs can be successfully executed by "solitary nerds working on sheer competence", and that's because all the messy work of defining the requirements and managing the uncertainty has been done by someone else.

For even moderately complex projects, you need to work with a team, and being "nice" - which just means not being a jerk - is pretty essential for working even with an all technical team.
Not op, but a house in my neighborhood was sold to OpenDoor for $397k. It sat unsold for 3 months in an area where other homes are sold over asking on the day that they're listed. They finally have it under contract for $386k for a net loss of $11k.

Climate change will drive a lot of people to the northeast and Midwest in our lifetimes. Much of the Deep South will become unlivably hot and humid, and much of the west will become dry enough that water rationing makes life in the sun not so much fun anymore.

If you want to invest, put your money in places like Pittsburgh and Buffalo. Some values along the coast in Baltimore and Philly too. Plenty of cheap real estate out and I suspect we’ll see a revitalization of the rust belt as climate change makes other areas untenable.

Nearly 300% difference is a huge and fitting description of a huge lie. 10% is also all agriculture, not just bovine production, and even if you removed trucks in transportation, I am sure its not going to be similiar at all.
Wasn't Wave the cloud service that promised to be a federated application, but delivered the open source server very late (like after the failure/shutdown was announced)?

Yes, that's great, exercise is important for your health, I already mentioned that. Doesn't change the fact that you generally won't lose weight through exercise, but through a change in diet.

> It is to build muscle, raise temperature, speed up your metabolism.

Those effects are negligible compared to eating, say, 20% less. In particular because exercise makes you hungry, and if you don't control your diet, you'll regain the lost energy through increased appetite afterwards. So again, yes, please exercise regularly, but that alone won't make you lose weight.

> High level competitive sport has nothing to do anything. It has zero to do with what average adult experiences.

I love that their marketing is, large companies use Edge to support legacy apps. That does sound like a good use for Edge. Another good use is downloading the browser you want to use.
Did you use brew outdated after performing brew update?

brew outdated will list outdated app/dependencies that need to be updated. If you want to know the app's dependencies, use the info argument. For example brew info ffmpeg will list the information about FFmpeg and list the dependencies that it uses along with status indication if the dependencies is installed or not.

Am I missing something here? I am not sure if it is a UI problem since Homebrew have those functions with a few arguments here and there. Look like you are using a utility that have so much dependencies that it needs or you have habit of using brew upgrade which will prompt to upgrade everything expect pinned apps/dependencies.
FWIW, Vivaldi has all of these also.
I think we're looking for very different things.

I use my own text editor. I expect to remain its only user, and that's fine. It's not intentional. It just isn't a priority for me to make it usable for anyone else (though I do separate out parts of it into libraries / gems as functionality matures).

As such, I'm looking for improved terminals not to make things that doesn't require cheat sheets (because to use my editor you'd have to be comfortable with reading the source). It's fine that others want other things, but I think this is part of the challenge with improving terminals: A lot of the user base are advanced users who want to improve their own workflows, not write something user friendly, and who wants tools that are easy to combine and chain, where the priority is not something user friendly.

The balance is fine in that if you're looking for something particularly user friendly in the sense of friendly to less advanced users, targeting a GUI framework or the web is very quickly going to provide a better experience.

EDIT: I saw zellij mentioned in a sibling, and looked at it, and incidentally it's quite similar to my setup, except I use bspwm and scripts to manipulate the tiling so that e.g. doing a vertical or horizontal split in my editor results in a new editor instance in a new tiled window rather than in a new pane in a single terminal. That way I can treat the few GUI apps I use exactly the same way (mostly Chrome). I'd love it if there was a standard API to split panes and start apps in a given pane, so both terminal multiplexers and tiling wms could be targeted with a single standard mechanism.

Agreed. The call is honored by time but not execution.

The story is used to teach the wisdom of evaluating a plan on not only how desirable the outcome would be but also how it can be executed. It provides a moral lesson about the fundamental difference between ideas and their feasibility, and how this affects the value of a given plan.
