Even mathematical formulas come with them a wide variety of assumptions on shared, uncommunicated base axioms. Nobody explicitly points out "assuming we're not modulo 2" after stating "1 + 1 = 2".

Context and interpretation matters, and a lot of those disagreements over "objective facts" often come down to different interpretations of the context.

There's no such thing as "pure data" without a huge system of definitions underlying the whole thing, which are often unspoken. Do you consider "my website got 10,000 views today" to be unambiguous factual data? If so, what counts as a "view"? Do bot views count? The browser auto-refreshing because it reloaded the tab? What about the exact definitions of "today"? What hours do you start and stop counting?

Even the most basic facts succumb to this. There's lots of talk about birthdays and ages in this thread. Well, in South Korea, the cultural standard is that everyone's age goes up by one on New Year's Day (so a baby born on Dec. 31st turns two years old the next day), so someone's age is going to be reported differently when reading Korean media. And I know of someone who was born on April 4th, but because of some mix-ups at the busy hospital, her official records state April 5th instead. She chooses to celebrate it on April 4th, but she couldn't legally buy any liquor herself until the next day.

Culture and context matter. Different people have different takes on what is reasonable, and that's why there's no "objective truth" unless you interrogate all of your definitions and standards all the way to the bottom.
Do the rules extend to people who are interviewed in articles, and never comment on HN?
If you want to tax net carbon emissions, I’m all ears and, unless you work very hard to come up with an intentionally terrible plan, I’m very supportive.

If you instead want to tax specific conveniences to help inconvenient services survive despite their inconvenience and lack of improvement, well, let’s just say that I’m significantly less receptive.
Honestly, Google can now do most of the basic things that WA could do.

And the more complex things WA could do oftentimes require a bunch of trial and error to figure out the correct syntax/phrasing to use to get correct results, to the point where it was just easier to either do the calculation manually or find a dedicated site for it.

So it has just lost utility for me.
wow, typing "8 year old female" into a search engine might cause some trouble
In all seriousness, what's so noteworthy about this? It's one trivial 50 line recursive function. This is kind of stuff devs just type out instead of searching for a npm package, because it's faster that way.
Without downplaying the work put on Pop_OS, anyone can start an Ubuntu derivative distro in a few hours. Writing a DE from scratch is something else entirely, Ubuntu famously tried and it went nowhere.

I think the best intention version of it is "I need more time to have this conversation in nuance, but I don't have that time right now."

When IMHO, it's better just to carry secret water as the manager in those circumstances, and have the conversation when you have time to have it.

The key to avoiding spooky messaging is asking "How is the person I'm saying this to going to receive it?" and "What good is going to come from their knowing what I'm going to tell them, between now and the actual conversation?"

Sometimes it's important! Like "Do it this way ASAP, we'll talk about why later." But in the meh version the person cannot do anything productive with "We should talk later." And in the worse version, they're worrying about it.

Like what ReleaseCandidat said--- types originated as a compile-time thing, and things like range checks mostly make sense as run-time assertions, so it seems kind of strange from a compiler standpoint to conflate them...

But, from the developer's standpoint, types are a very convenient place to put such run-time assertions. Raku has them.

I'd assume long term they're going to do more with TPMs. Once they start pushing patches that require a TPM, unsupported configurations won't be able to receive that update.
I suppose it depends on how many meetings you have?

In our company's culture of few meetings, about 90% of the time I received a Slack message "Can we chat when you have a quick minute?" it was indeed the employee quitting. Eventually I would just respond in Slack to confirm they wanted to quit, so we could skip the dog & pony show that is assumed to be necessary for a "proper resignation," which I don't think employee nor manager enjoys.

I'm from LA.

Chicago 2 bdrm is like 1400$

In LA that's 2700$, plus in LA you need a car. This is 500$ a month between gas, insurance and a car note. This is if your exceptionally smart with your money.

That's 3200$ before you even buy food.

Compared to Chicago, a metro pass is like 100. Meaning you have 1700$ more in your bank account.

I'm strongly considering buying a condo in Chicago assuming I can get a permanent remote role. It's also by far the friendliest city I've ever lived.
The Road to Climate Recovery Goes Through the Wild Woods
I think GNOME actually gets a lot right, perhaps even more than KDE for the average use case, but has a few high visibility misses and perhaps suffers from muddled focus by trying to also accommodate smartphones.

With a few key changes like bringing back the minimize button by default, integrating the dash-to-dock extension by default, and dropping the crusade against proper menubars it’d be easily the most well rounded and DE with the most usable out-of-the-box experience.

KDE shares the problem of muddled focus between desktop and mobile, but instead of lacking functionality instead has issues with its design feeling somewhat amateur, as well as bad defaults. KDE can be great if tuned extensively but without tuning it’s a mess.

I do agree that’s it’s good to have more players in the DE space, because no existing option has fully cracked it and more options is always good. It would be nice if more DEs shared work between each other (is it really necessary for there to be 3+ forks of Nautilus?) but oh well.

What I want to see most is a new UI library. Qt is nice from a technical perspective, but it being tied to C++ and thus lacking quality, up to date, idiomatic bindings for other languages really hurts it, as does its licensing shuffle. GTK is wonderfully flexible because it has bindings for almost every language ever, but comes with frequent breaking changes and forced GNOMEisms, and feels awkward outside of Linux. The ideal UI library would have GTK’s flexibility with QT’s technical strengths and platform adaptivity.
Can this be used somehow for the bounded range? some like,

struct MyIndex<const MIN: usize, const MAX: usize> {
index: usize, MIN/MAX??
}

That would get rid of lots of runtime bound checks.
These sources just highlight that he was, at best, under threat of being a slave though, not that he was actually sold and performed as a slave. He's ransomed for at the last minute by someone recognizing him at the market.

If Plato had actually been a slave, his lifelong commitment to anti-democratic political organization would've been a little different, though maybe not, considering even this experience didn't change his philosophy, to the point that's likely not worth mentioning as a significant experience, unlike Epictectus who was born into slavery.

That's true, I hope you're not waiting anymore.

If you want to understand this thread, I suggest you start at the start.

Hint 1: I gave you the name of the person I answered to.

Hint 2: No matter how often you repeat it, it wasn't you.

Hint 3: Maybe it helps if you draw a flow chart of the different statements in the conversation!

But, see, don't worry. Because you jumped into a conversation between the post I replied to and myself, I assumed you had to add something to that conversation. I realize that I was mistaken and you just swooped in to offload some unrelated fun fact. My bad, won't happen again!

ElementaryOS did this with their Pantheon and it's the reason I moved from them to Pop_OS. Their apps were generally useless or broken, critical basic settings (fractional DPI, per monitor dpi, etc) were missing and weird bugs abound. I had to install the dconf editor just to get the damn screen readable on my XPS.

Pop_OS at the moment is just about perfect since it's just a well tuned gnome theme basically. So far I've only hit one bug and one odd default setting.
Btw fwiw I fully agree with you. I really like Windows as a desktop OS (or, more accurately, I dislike it the least), but the idea of using a GUI based server is just super weird to me.

Even pre micro I preferred Linux for servers, for this reason primarily. I understand Linux way less well than Windows but I navigated down that insane ISS config panel once, a decade ago, and decided that once was enough :-)

Given Windows' low popularity as a server OS these days it seems to me that plenty devs-who-use-Windows have a similar opinion.
A long time coming since Tim Sweeney's 2005 talk referred to functional concepts and things like STM https://www.st.cs.uni-saarland.de/edu/seminare/2005/advanced...
if "let's talk when you get a minute" is spooky, then you have other problems. In a normal environment, that phrase simply means "hey, I need some time, nothing urgent just need to talk about something". If brings dread to your day, then the job is not working out the way it should. You're in a toxic environment and need to extract yourself from it.

If your workplace has common toxic symbols (e.g. the HR folks bought some pink envelopes), then you need to avoid them in your day-to-day unless you are trying to signal an abandon ship to your folks.

On a weird sidenote, if you commonly phrase things the same way, then don't decide to be different and change for change's sake. Consistent and predicable are gifts to anyone you manage. Variety is the spice of life, but consistency gets you better service.z

Monitoring language for signalling is the warning flag.

Funny you mention that. The author of the Metaverse Manifesto I link to in the blog post is named Toni Parisi ... and one of the co-creators of VRML. He even brings it up in this podcast where he and Kent Bye discuss the 7 rules:

Allen Car helped me stop smoking and flying lessons helped me stop being afraid of flying! I'd be curious to hear if there was a single moment for you in your lessons you remember that helped you. For me, I was in a non-powered plane and had to land. The incredible resistance of the aircraft was the moment of enlightenment for me.
It was not in an essay. The implication was rhetorical, not logic. And, the context being missing, it could even have made sense there.
It's not hard for x86 laptops to idle below 4W (see Surface https://www.notebookcheck.net/Microsoft-Surface-Go-Pentium-6... , even Pro ones with screen on they idle well below 10W). With 10W just for the SoC you get into desktop or gaming laptop territory.

I have a full x86 system that idles at 1.7W _at the wall_ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26639929 . This is an off-the-shelf ASUS PN40 mini-desktop, running an N4000, and includes 8GB RAM, a SATA SSD, and Gigabit ethernet, all running and accepting requests.

Using the word "niggardly" can get you fired because it's slur-adjacent. Anyone who uses it in 2021 is looking to give offense. As we understand words like "spook" in a new light, it becomes prudent to avoid using them as well, lest we be seen as deliberately offending people.

It's always important to think about the social effects of what you say.
Probably a reference to the fact that Epic makes a ton of money from Fortnite.
As someone who isn't a manager but has used similar phrases on occasion, it's short for:

* I know I'm interrupting so you don't have to act on this immediately.

* I also don't want to be overheard (in my case I didn't want the family member I was using it with to share something if they were with friends), so the message doesn't let on what the conversation will be about.

* Hopefully it won't be a long conversation.

I don't know if I've just gotten lucky or something, but even in a work context "let's talk when you have a minute" doesn't bother me. It and variations have been used a few times, and it's always been neutral or positive - a manager I don't have regular conversations with wants an update on something big they know I'm working on, my immediate manager wants to tell me about an upcoming project and if I can take it on/put aside current stuff to do it (and it's urgent enough it can't wait until our normal 1-on-1), stuff like that.

Mate, can we start by honestly and openly criticizing the current situation? If we're not even able to criticize it, reform feels like a distant fantasy. 90 years a very long time. We invented transistors to deep learning. Computer-tech has seen tremendous innovation. Physical world is completely in a death grip of regulations. I am actually fine with regulations where they make sense.

But, it all starts by not throwing rocks at each other and name calling. It starts with deep introspection of our policies. Try asking your fellow neighbor if they can criticize their own party - you'll be met with blank stares and profound confusion.

It works that way to say that these rights are _above_ the US government. The government isn’t “granting” them, and it can’t take them away. The bill of rights is descriptive, not prescriptive.

The side effect here is that technically, according to US lore, the situation you describe with the UK is correct. And it’s kindof how US citizens think.

You have the right to protest your government. You have the right to say whatever you want. You have the right to defend yourself. You may not agree, but that’s what US lore says, and it feeds a lot of our international behavior.
This is a political topic, yet adding because Singapore features prominently in the tech/startup scene. And because I've seen several people choose Singapore as a place to anchor their startup.

I could totally see railway stations becoming “hubs”, with restaurants/bars/coffeeshops for people to just hang out pre/post journey. In SFBA the Caltrain stations are totally deserted and have maybe a parking lot; this seemed really unusual to me as someone who grew up in Mumbai where the train stations have all kinds of stores selling food/books etc. It seemed so… dead. Somewhat alarmingly they don’t even have public restrooms!

This is predicated on foot traffic though. And American transit systems are, let’s say, not the most appealing. I do hope that it changes.
I dislike that phrase because it gives me no context. Does my manager want to talk about a specific project? A team change? A goal change? An issue? Does he want to chat about a new marathon he wants to run?

Give me context. If you want to chat for twenty minutes just to catch up, then that's fine but just tell me.
It is a completely different undertaking but my point is, I'm willing to give System76 credit here and wait and see how this plays out instead of jumping to cynical conclusions about how terrible this will be.
Wow! Didn't see that coming, but very interesting. When he says "the metaverse", does he mean Epic is working on one of their own? Or is it the one facebook is working on, and they have some sort of partnership?
Because the Overton Window isn't really about voting patterns or explicit support for specific policies. It's about a cultural phenomenon that constrains the cultural response to possible policies.

If someone running for POTUS was to have suggested UBI in 1992 (say), they would have been instantly dismissed (probably as a communist). No voting. Not even much in the way of individual reactions, other than a few high profile op-eds here and there and sunday morning talkshow outrage.

When Yang was talking about UBI in 2020, while he was not successful even in the primaries, the idea did not trigger the same sort of cultural reactions at all.

Wind turbines generate 690v three phase. It isn't stepped down until it gets to a substation near the consumer.

The power needed onsite (lights, control systems, energy to start the blades spinning, etc) usually comes from a natural gas generator or a direct feed from a fossil fuel plant if one is nearby. Due to circular dependencies, you can't power them off the energy they generate.
Why not? Was rope particularly expensive?
> Almost $330 million per mile for a right of way that they already own.

Actually, no. That proposal included entirely new tunnels and city-center stations in Baltimore and Philadelphia, and an entirely new ROW that went from NYC out Long Island, a Long Island Sound crossing to New Haven, new ROW up to Springfield, and then east into Boston, rather than reusing any of the BOS-NYC right-of-way. All of which are expensive and relatively low value (although the CT corridor does need entirely new ROW suitable for HSR, the cost of building such a ROW largely parallel to the existing one--including the taking of expensive property in CT--is likely cheaper than building the Long Island Sound crossing by itself).

In a way, I think this is an example of where a large part of American cost disease comes from--projects are designed on the basis of large, flashy megaprojects rather than looking for how to make multiple small, incremental improvements that can be done on the cheap. For example, you could probably squeeze a half an hour or so out of BOS-NYC train time simply by fixing dispatching issues on the New Rochelle-New Haven stretch, which would require very little construction (turning Rye into a flying junction would be the biggest piece I could imagine)--$10s of millions at worst.
What Linux desperately needs in order to gain at least some recognition on a desktop is less desktop environments, not more.
Yes, it's quite recent.

Beyond that it's also quite interesting to think that all dishes made with potatoes, tomatoes, chilli peppers, sweet corn, cocoa did not exist before the settlement of the Americas by Europeans (at least outside of the Americas). This is a profound change in diet in Europe and throughout the world.

Some of hem have even thrown a lot of that collective engineering hours away by deciding to rewrite entire parts!

Arguably, but I say they sometimes don't. That alone is worth considering alternatives.

> There is no compelling reason to throw that all away.

Sure there is. This one is written in rust and the others support javashit.

> Likely a new system will be worse along every metric of concern for the foreseeable future

Ahh you must have short sightedness. It won't be hard to improve performance of a few key metrics:

* reduced crashiness
* reduced memory footprint
* improved UI responsiveness
* cold boot to desktop time

It shouldn't be that hard to be an improvement over Gnome in memory utilization or KDE in crashiness.
Nothing. It's still solving my homework. (Sometimes.)
That includes the cost of the land. The UCSB proposal doesn't include it.

This construction has to deal with NIMBYs and related delays, again UCSB doesn't have to bother with that.

And most of all these aren't single occupancy units. They are units for 2-3 people.

So yes, construction costs would be around the 350k mark when you take into account the land, for multi bedroom units, versus a single bedroom.
Interesting, I guess that works when font-family has only webfont and no fallback?
