Mine has had 2x4 in it since app. 2010. I tested it in the shop so I knew it worked and right after I walked out of there I called one of my nerdy friends and we talked for a very long time about the an obscene amount of RAM I had.

That machine developed a screen fault later, but I replaced it with another X200, which is still my personal machine. I have a T490 for work and the experience makes me want to stockpile the older models.

$4B seems pricey for a valuation. It apparently manages to make a profit, but I doubt it's the $200 million/year that would justify a valuation like that.

Rapidly growing tech companies defy easy valuations, but I don't think that they are. They've struggled to find a business model, and after years of trying seem to have settled on "Get user content and show ads". They've got strong search engine position, but the Q&A format means there's only so much room to grow it.

They've recently added a Medium-type model of premium content, but I have yet to notice that anything is going to attract many people to pay for it.

I could be wrong about all that. I'm not privy to the numbers. And even if I'm right, the market seems perfectly happy to justify extreme valuations of tech companies even if they're not really on a track for exponential growth.

Not what I said. I, and my whole family, get flu shots every year. I wouldn't mind also getting one for covid if it is determined to help me and my community.
I have an X230 that I've done a bunch of upgrades to. It's got CoreBoot, an FHD IPS screen, a quad core i7-3612QE, plus the usual memory and SSD upgrades. It's pretty neat, but I've been growing tired. I haven't refurbished the battery so its life off charger is abysmal, it's really chunky, the trackpad is awful, and every year or so I need to reflow the Nitrocaster mod solder joints because the display starts to go snowy.

It was a fun project to put it all together but I find myself using it less and less as days go by.
It's well-established that radical leftists, the people who scream "Racist!" at anyone they can find, are ironically some of the most racist people in existence. Their whole ideology demands that they infantalize, disempower and rob of agency the very people they claim to fight for, so they can be more effective victims. And of course, anyone who doesn't fit their narrative (like Asians) gets kicked to the curb.
My needs have become more and more simple over the last couple of years. In particular because my work machine is now a company-provided Apple laptop (ew). So, only all of my personal machines are Linux, and my personal life computing needs are relatively simple, in nerd terms (web browser, ssh in my LAN, and SAMBA-style file sharing on my LAN).

So my opinions might be a tad outdated as I haven't really fiddled with my UI that much in the last couple of years (except to switch back and forth between Wayland and X11, and nouveau and proprietary NVIDIA drivers for my main personal laptop).

But I haven't participated in a good, old, Linux desktop holy war and rant in a long time, so here we go. :)

GNOME definitely seems to be ahead of the competition (including KDE/Plasma) when it comes to basic, "just works", kinds of things. This includes better (hot-plugging) screen management in the common cases and the on-screen keyboard seems to work better/consistently than KDE's. I can't think of more off the top of my head, but I remember thinking there were more things that worked better- maybe audio/volume settings and network settings?

I'm even one of those weirdos who enjoys the GNOME Shell workflow/UX, though when I say "GNOME", I'm mostly referring to the whole suite of desktop libraries/utilities/etc. So Budgie and GNOME Classic/Fallback also "count" as GNOME desktops to me.

In any case, I do still have several gripes with the GNOME desktop(s):

1. Network Manager still seems to be unaware of wireguard. I hate that I have to manage this from the command line.

2. GDM's login screen doesn't share settings such as touchpad-tap-to-click with the regular desktop. Now, I understand that Linux is a multi-user system and that tap-to-click is configured on a per-user basis, but I feel like there should be (easily discoverable) global default settings.

3. GNOME Shell still feels a little slow and janky at times on my "old" personal laptop (2012, but has a Core i7 and 16GB of RAM). That seems to be the case for all combinations of Wayland/X11 + nouveau/NVIDIA, but I'll admit that nouveau is noticeably worse. It could be that it's an NVIDIA thing.

4. GNOME Shell's app drawer UX still sucks. I don't know what the answer is, and I agree with them that a nested menu that groups things by optional/convention-based metadata on .desktop files isn't a good option, but they still haven't found an answer that works for me. I guess I'm glad that we can at least manage and group things in recent versions, but that's too tedious for me, too. And the icons are still way too big.

5. [GNOME Shell] I thought the distinction between window-menu and app-menu was actually a good idea, but you just can't pull it off when you don't own the whole stack, which is a shame. So, I understand why they abandoned it. But, now that they did, the top bar is even more useless than it was in the earlier days.

I was diagnosed with cancer in late 2012 but was ineligible for US FMLA because I had only been at my job for 6 months. I muddled through the chemo fog and tried to work as I was able, but honestly it was pretty awful and I used a lot of PTO (combined with sick time). My at-the-time girlfriend was on leave from her job so we made it work. My mother was able to visit a few times too (we were on the other side of the country from family).

I don't know what I'd do in your situation, other than hope my employer was understanding and accepting that I would not be 100% for awhile. I'm very sorry you're having to go through this.

> The DJI is an absolute stunner with fantastic range and video transmission.

Hmm, what's the range like? ELRS solves the RC link range (it's functionally infinite) and analog has longer range than DJI video (though DJI's quality is obviously leagues ahead).

I have the DJI video system in my home-built drones, I definitely recommend it but analog goes farther (though you get much better quality for 13km with DJI).

> The build quality is far superior than anything I have seen home built.

If by "build quality" you mean "it feels good", then yes, of course something factory-built is going to be more sleek than something you build in your garage. If you mean "sturdy", though, the carbon fiber quads will take much, much more punishment.
How disingenuous. It's been proven time and again that those who have been vaccinated can still catch and transmit Covid.

Even better: much of the "industry" emissions are from producing fuel for the "transportation" category. Oil refineries are the biggest emissions generators in the US manufacturing sector, and some of the largest consumers of electricity in the process, to the point that many refineries have their own power plants on site. If we had fusion power and electric cars, much of those "industry" emissions go away too.
If you reject the idea that anybody is "naturally gifted", you must also reject the idea that anybody is smarter than anybody else, unless you want to waste everybody's time on meaningless semantics and pretend that the word "smart" doesn't mean what everybody uses it to mean… but wasting time on meaningless semantics is a popular pastime these days! I can understand why some people hate to face the fact that some people are smarter than some other people (maybe even themselves!) and I'm honestly surprised that this has only become a societal problem recently.

Two accuracy related things to note*:

- The language implies viruses are living things. They are not. While this is common awareness on HN, HN isn't the only place this article will be read. This type of "journalism" should be frowned upon.

- There has yet to be clear proof Covid is a natural creation. Again, such sloppy misdirection should be highlighted and taken into consideration while consuming the rest of the story.

agree, The manhattan project alone was 1% of the US GDP during its most expensive year, that would equate to $230 Billion in today's dollars.
As an American my first thought is “That’s not true in general.” There are many paths to success, many of which require a great deal of formal education, some which would at least benefit from it, but also some which are more or less orthogonal to education.

Perhaps what rubs me the wrong way about that phrase in particular is it seems to imply that education is not only necessary but sufficient for success. A common anti-pattern I’ve seen in young adults is finishing 20 years of schooling, entering the real world, and saying “Wait, now what?”

If Lua scripting doesn't float your boat and you don't mind commercial software, Keyboard Maestro[0] is brilliant. I use it for:

* Expanding text macros (like TextExpander but not with a subscription)

* Automating web forms I have to fill out frequently (find the "Last Name" button; send "Smith"; hit "tab"; send "Joe"; find the "Submit this form" button and press it).

* Opening apps with hotkeys.

* Scripting stuff that isn't scriptable, like "find the Music app; right click on the ... menu; click Share; click Copy Link" to get the currently playing song's URL. (PS: If you know how to reliably get this another way, please let me know.)

* Doing really nifty things with OCR on the screen, like "send this set of keypresses, then look for the text that says 'I accept this', put the mouse over it, and click it" for apps that don't use native widgets.

Hammerspoon is super cool too, but I don't have the time to really tweak it as much as I can Keyboard Maestro.

> Somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

A part of me too desires this. For a software engineer, what you need most is good network connectivity, which is now possible in many places.

The other part of me is convinced that would not be a good move in the long run. If I move away from the city, my kids' education will suffer, my mother (who also lives with me) will lose the social connect that keeps her in good spirits. Growing up in a small place, I always longed to move to a city. Now that I have "been there done that" in terms of living a city life, I do not want my children to go through the same cycle.

It would be nice to have the best of both worlds. Have a second home someplace remote, and go live there for short duration as circumstances permit.

It probably is an unethical technology. Its primary feature is to strongly tie someone's identity to their physical body. This alone is not inherently unethical, but it opens the door for so many abuses that it is hard to consider it as ethical. These abuses come from the ability to use a centrally-controlled technology to systematically isolate and excommunicate people from society, no matter where they go.

It becomes even more unethical when you consider the secondary, less publicly acknowledged feature: to provide plausible deniability for pursuing false positives. When facial recognition has the legal weight to drive searches and arrests, the "fuzziness" of false positives becomes an asset to those performing searches and arrests.
For the purpose of this Convention, the term "torture" means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or incidental to, lawful sanctions.

They're using terrible, imprecise terms. Homosexual vs heterosexual sex is irrelevant here.

What matters is the orifice/method (and whether giving or receiving). The CDC has data here [1]. Anal sex has a much, much higher rate of transmission (especially receptive), regardless of the gender of the participants. Oral sex has almost no transmission, regardless of the gender of the participants.

Just as a counterpoint to the "gay AIDS" narrative, AIDS is extremely low in the lesbian community because I don't think there are even any high-risk sexual activities available.

It's kind of humorous to me that lesbians are above the straight community on the "STDs as a judgement of moral purity" scale. Somebody tell the TV pastors that they're going to have to rework it.

Is all that really a "huge" benefit? I never get phone calls that aren't spam, or have the need to copy paste from a phone. And an 11-inch second monitor doesn't sound like a huge benefit. Especially when I could just have my company "pay a bit more" on a real second monitor.

But, not gonna discount your perspective. Everyone has different priorities, and it's why different products exist for different folks.
I have similar feelings to everything you just said.

I assume the appeal to LXQt isn't so much that it's "lightweight" as that it's "simple". Because, like you said, Plasma is actually very lightweight and snappy, and I'd be willing to bet there are very few places where LXQt will run well and Plasma won't.

I don't think they haven't figured out anything super fundamental. There's a bunch of fusion companies all with aggressive time schedules that are aiming to generate electricity within the next 5 years or so.

What you've missed is that most scientists have been expecting electricity will be generated from fusion soon for the past 10 years or so, almost definitely before ITER comes online. The development of High-temperature superconducting tape basically guarantees it.
The USSR was a treaty ally of Germany in 1939. This actually caused the blitzkrieg.

My daughter makes 15 an hour rolling burritos. Why should restaurants that charge a lot more for meals pay their staff 2.19 an hour? My duaughter also gets tips split and its just icing on the cake vs something she has to bank.

Meanwhile, at a lot of these restaurants that fail - the owners absolutely THRIVED while screwing over pay and once that scheme was busted, its not the employees fault for not wanting to be a part of it.
