I should add that the only times I do end up "tinkering" with my Linux setup is when I do very out of the ordinary stuff, that is either not easily done in Windows or would require an equal amount of tinkering. For example, much of my "first day" setup is because I like a keyboard-centric environment, so I set up Sway (with a semi-non-standard config) and related things. Manjaro lets me set up a number of environments with good defaults, if I stick with those, then my initial setup is just down to installing the applications I need (which you also have to do in Windows). Its only when I want to do non-standard out of the ordinary or highly customised stuff to suit my preferences that I may need to tinker, but if I have a non-standard workflow on Windows, I also have to tinker. To get a tiling-WM style keyboard first experience under Windows, I also had to tinker and configure and install stuff, and, at least last I used Windows, I never quite had the control to get the workflow I wanted, so I actually spent more time tinkering (and then giving up and going with the closest match I could get) than I do on Linux, where the tools are replaceable and configurable enough to get pretty close to what I want without too much work.

So I only tinker when I choose to, in order to customise things that are either not possible in Windows, or would require just as much (or even more) tinkering on Windows. That's not a con for Linux, if anything its a pro. Its purely optional.

The only parts where people may spend time tinkering with Linux that I'd consider a con is to get unsupported hardware to work, but that's only easier on Windows if the hardware comes with Windows drivers. If there are no good Windows drivers available, your out of luck and no amount of tinkering will likely get it working. But its been years since this has been something I needed to do on Linux (but I also do a quick search online to check that my hardware has Linux drivers before buying hardware, but those 5 minutes are hardly "tinkering").

Interestingly, I recently bought a cheap drawing tablet and it actually works better on Linux than it does on OS X when using the official drivers (but Linux default tablet drivers support basic functionality out of the box and the OSS Digimend drivers may be getting support soon to, going by the github issues).

So people not clamoring to live in a shit windowless shoebox of a dorm might not reflect on the quality of the education?
I haven't found anything I like yet. Everything seems to be either web based or Electron.

There are some interesting macOS programs out there (DevonThink for one) but I'm not sure I want to buy a Mac just for that.
Still, it would not occur to most sighted programmers to review code using a screen reader. To me, this is another argument for having a truly diverse team (or community, in the case of an open-source project); a blind programmer who's already involved with the project would catch something like this. So in this particular case, blindness is truly not a disability.
U.S. Inflation Reached 30-Year High in October
Competition is important for the well-being of consumers. However, it is in the nature of markets that over time they will experience consolidation and centralization, due to the benefits of network effects and economies of scale. This consolidation reduces competition, harming consumers. It is the necessary role of government to occasionally step in and break up such companies, to forcibly reintroduce competition. That's the form of regulation that we need right now. Break these megacorporations up.
The filesystem is an excellent database if your queries can be expressed as a path. It's literally what they're made for.. A system for filing information.
It's still there in the server chips, they just removed it from consumer parts.

It's actually there in Alder Lake's performance cores and can be used on at least some motherboards if the efficiency cores are disabled.
Now I’m a very curious chap who when an interest rises, I likes to explore that interest. One day in the past I was lucky enough to meet a lady who was very Interesting. Talented in so many mediums. Now if I had not known her I would have innocently, as I have done with many other of my hero’s found out as much as possible about her and her talents, but didn't because It felt creepy.

I could never forget her, which for me with no visual memory is not normal, out of sight out of mind. I did not know her well, I did not know much about her works, I cant reminisce due to lack of visual memory and not much to reminisce about. My denied curiosity would be a powerful reason why my mind would find itself thinking of her, but It was more her goodness and kindness, her frequency that captivated me. A number of years later I wrote a letter or two and she responded.

Now from narcissist’s wood Nymph, Echo, to other invaluable writings throughout the human struggle, love at first sight exists for some people, be that a biological or a spiritual matter ( IMO its got to be a symbiotic relationship).

We eventually met up at her house, I screwed up and turned up a bit pissed, I wasn't drinking much at the time and underestimated my capacity, nervousness and thirst. She politely put up with it for a bit then asked me to leave. There it should have ended, about a year later I looked up her Facebook, I seen photos of her that bewitched me, the powerful feelings from just seeing her photo blew to pieces! I was not in a normal frame of mind, I sent letters and such but came off looking like a weirdo due to my temporary insanity, she responded it was obsessive and there the tale ends.

It wasn't just curiosity, lust infatuation mixed, it was all consuming, she said in our previous letters I must be infatuated, and I in return wrote her a short story to try and approach the subject which she liked. I'm upset I’ve annoyed the lady by turning up pissed and sending unwanted messages, but not in any other way I just hope she is OK and happy. Whatever it was I was lucky it didn't develop before the trouble, I don't know what it was, but it created a cascading reaction throughout my entire being that I had no control over, it was my master, by a long margin.
Why does the commenter need to reconcile this? Their desire of using Apple doesn’t mean they need to all apps to run on it. Personally, I’m not a gamer and don’t care about Fortnite availability nor their cost of doing business on Apple. If Apple banned an app I cared enough to use, I’d probably vote with my dollars and change platforms.
No worries, short version is that in most cases if you're trying to show off to the world that you supported an artist, traditional sponsorship mentions by the artist themself are going to be more public, confer more status, and are going to be seen by more people than a token.

But agreed that having more Patreon integrations (in the same vein as how Discord roles already work) would make that kind of thing even easier.
If like the sibling said they develop on-skin electrodes or micro-needle patches I 100% agree.

Currently it requires an invasive and risky brain surgery which AFAIK would be a definite no-go. At least in the US, this would likely be considered extremely inhumane unless it could be done without such significant risk of death or brain damage - given the nature of the surgery I find that unlikely.

In the cases where an invasive brain surgery would be permitted, I imagine torture would already be an option. Keep in mind torture doesn't have nearly the same risk of death and permanent brain damage as an invasive brain surgery.

I was just thinking about how, once this technology is perfected, at how easy it will be to interrogate high value prisoners. Just pop one of these in their head, and tell them not to think about the top secret or incriminating stuff.
The solution to nuclear waste is "status quo". As far as I know, no person has ever been harmed much less killed by waste from a nuclear power plant.

Also, the dangerous isotopes are also the ones which decay most quickly. Let the waste sit for 300 years and it will be no more radioactive than the uranium ore it was originally mined from. At that point you can dump it back into the uranium mine, or else keep it anywhere else you think would be safer than an abandoned uranium mine, the risks are miniscule either way.
Wouldn't it be easier to just fly the drone in through the back door of the C-130?
yep, or just not buy the item.

I especially hate it when they don't have a single item (eg. a pair of socks), but they have a "3-pack", and when the item arrives, it's actually three individual single packs, that they didn't want to sell separately.
A fungible non-token
Yes, it is, regardless of what it adds on top.
as far as I know similar general licensing exists for such purposes. Lots of inductive applications need it.
I'll answer your question with a question: why do you think "entirely passive" makes everything OK? It's not like there haven't been stories about how people, sometimes specifically kids, passively follow the algorithmic recommendations into a rabbit-hole of questionable or even actively harmful content. Yes, active use brings new social-anxiety "quest for likes" problems, but if the question is "should they be using it all" - as it supposedly is in this case - then that covers passive use as well.
Disabling the E-cores apparently activates AVX-512. So it was planned and engineered to be there all along, but was disabled to match the marketing talking points. [https://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=30664]
Indeed. Much of the time, "scope creep" is actually just discovering what the requirements actually are. It's not that the requirements change, the requirement likely existed all along - it's just that no-body realised it. Iterating through feedback loops where you build something that meets the original ask, only to refine/change/add/remove things as everybody discovers that what they wanted is not in fact what they wanted is not an unreasable approach.

> I think I've been successful in my career because I've been able to listen to a client's request and then help them figure out what they are actually asking for instead of taking it at face value. That can be easier said than done on an internal team, but it changes the quality of the product and dynamic of the team significantly.

Sometimes you can explore the actual scope by skillfully working with the client before you build anything. Sometimes, however, you can only learn what the actual requirement is by building the wrong thing first.

The article mentions that

so I'm assuming other thoughts and interactions had little to no effect.
Value extraction.
You can take a look at basically any of the larger apps, like M-x magit, speedbar, neotree, treemacs, calc, undo-tree, proced, tetris, gnus, epa, dired... (some built-in, some 3rd party). By default, when you start Emacs, you are in the lisp-interaction-mode app, which allows you to write (and execute) Elisp code. But, if you start any of the apps above, you'll get window(s) with semantics having nothing in common with editing text. They still display with text (or emoji under GUI), but they treat the buffer contents as something else than just text, and you can create panes with such content anywhere on the screen. I think this is more or less what you get with ncurses.

Here's an example of Emacs running in the terminal with a few apps open: https://klibert.pl/statics/images/emacs_terminal.png You can see treemacs, helm, dired and magit in action.

I could probably give a better example if you said what exactly you'd like to build. There's a lot of apps written for Emacs, not many of them are truly standalone (meaning they tend to integrate into Emacs instead of integrating Emacs into the app), but there are a few like that, too (ie. music players or games).

Sounds good, but where does the electricity come from and do we have the infrastructure to distribute it? ( Im from the Netherlands)
I see a lot of dark muttering from "old left" circles that the point of culture war is distraction. To keep focus on cultural and symbolic issues to divide us with infighting and keep us from focusing on shared economic interests. Culture war to distract from the class war, to put it like that.

And I think there may be something to that. It's not all about grifters.

But I think it would be wrong to attribute all that to cynicism. I think e.g. workers at big organizations need to feel that they're doing good, especially when it looks like they're doing some pretty bad things. All the culture war drama at Google, for instance, or CIA's infamous "Intersectional mentally ill latina millennial" ad, I think they may not be top down efforts to whitewash, but genuine attempts to cast yourself as good in a messed up way.
Back in the day (Windows NT 3.1) Microsoft made you hit ctrl-alt-del before entering your password, which only the OS could trap, so you knew you weren’t getting phished. They gave up on this.

I have captured traffic from the iOS app a couple years ago or so and saw frequent contacts to Facebook domains; this is indeed due to the Facebook SDK which contacts FB regardless of whether you use Facebook features or not (I definitely did not).

It may have changed since then and if so that's great!
You just reminded me that I have a fairly well-populated kanban board from one of my past (lost) efforts at getting organized.

I know a lot of devs that would move to Barcelona in an instant but also know plenty of devs that hate London and don't want to move there despite a FB offer. Never understood why FB from all possibilities picked London - maybe British want to move there, but the rest of EU not.
Morphologically interesting here is these are HAWT at the top and VAWT at the bottom.

A kite isn’t the only way to do this, could alt be; some kind of semirigid textile mushroom; suspended between buildings or across a chasm; integrated into a built structure; an inflatable; an aerostat; and so forth.
Anarchy scales despite bad actors. It's hard to be the big boss hog when more than half the town refuses to sell to you or buy from you. How are you going to manage that? Go betweens? Good luck, you'll have to pay more. A gang of confederates? It's the few against the many. Anarchy in my opinion works because it doesn't have a central command structure, so it's hard to destroy the social order. It also means societies throughout it will radically diverge beyond their initial premise in many ways. The down side is obvious: it's slow as hell. But I'd rather have sluggish but resilient anarchy than the current state of things where we have social norms that justify a handful of people having a title claim to trillions of dollars worth of assets that they themselves can never direct nor consume.
Good developers, yes. Which takes experience, given the myriad of colorful personalities, politics and more. Though I don't think it is fair the responsibility is largely put on the developer for "underestimating" when often the corporate is big enough to have specific people gather these requirements and map them out as part of their day-to-day.

That's my main problem with this advice and the article. Of course anyone wants a developer who can do both development and figure people out to bring out the most perfect estimates possible. But it's getting to a point developers are starting to be the solely responsible people on top of ever increasing technical requirements, while being given the minimum amount of practice figuring all this stuff out.
Originally pam.conf was envisioned to be quite simple. Say, about the number of lines in /etc/inetd.conf. It was only later that people started doing these really complex things, and most of that was because Linux distributions were shipping far more distributed computing components than was originally were envisioned in 1995.

Since ordering was critical in PAM config files, and it was presumed that typical sysadmins weren't going to be editing PAM config files, it had to ship with mentions of every single package that might require a PAM config file. And this is what caused it to get super complex --- and not very well documented, since the presumption was that only distro-engineers needed to understand it, and tech writers have always been underappreciated and underpaid for as long as I can remember in the field (and probably longer).
Just one reason is that some Python libraries (numpy, tensorflow, pytorch) allow you to work with high dimensional arrays (3-4 dimensions) without for loops.

ML also needs reverse autodifferentiation, which would be a real pain in C++.
Or maybe they were exaggerating for emphasis, as humans do.
How's this a lie? Displaying sold out items isn't a lie, at best is unnecessary information.
Crudely I'm guessing, information asymmetry. Which is usually considered a market failure, but is very common, perhaps even an "underpinning".

In this case, the rule is for all interactive elements. It's not just buttons, but anchor tags as well (or any other element a user decides to put a `phx-click` and friends on. Phoenix LiveView internally already noops if it's not connected, but we used the css rule so the cursor pointer would not reflect an interactive element while in a loading state.
In reverse order:

2. We need to build lots more renewables.

1. a) You build more than you need on any particular day so even when the wind is low you get something.

b) when you have more than you need as electricity, which is basically all the time, you make hydrogen to decarbonize the production of steel, fertilizer, avgas etc. (This is something we need to do even if we had lots of cheap nuclear plants)

c) If you are hit by some freak event you didnt plan for, and you can't just import via wires, you burn the hydrogen in fairly standard cheap turbines to provide more power. You have a lot stored as hydrogen anyway that you were going to make stuff with, so just delay that a little. (In the short term, while every bit of electricity is needed to clean the grid, stored natural gas can take this role)

d) do this all over the world, and when convenient, trade hydrogen or things made from it as a way of exporting/importing renewable energy from wherever it's cheapest.

e) lithium batteries for grid use would only be economic for shifting a small amount of power on a daily schedule (e.g. solar peaks to evenings or night wind to mornings) but..

f) the entire vehicle fleet shifting to battery means theres a giant demand response fleet that can absorb energy when its available at no (extra) loss since they were going to charge anyway.

extra: there's no reason to not include nuclear in the above, except for the fact that it's more expensive than the other options for producing electricity and we already need a method to flex demand to meet needs. So new nuclear is mostly useless, unless you need some excuse to talk about how crap renewables are.
At the frequencies and distances that these cave "radio" systems are operated they act more like two coils of wire with a mutual inductance in the near field (<1/4 wavelength away). This isn't propagating electromagnetic waves (radio), at least not much or with any fraction of efficiency.

12+ year olds will never be successfully kept off social media. You might think your child is "safe", but you're most probably wrong and your relationship with your child is damaged.

12+ year olds are fully capable of downloading a game from torrents and applying the crack, going to Facebook or Instagram is trivial to them. You could try not to give them a phone - and they will most likely try to buy or steal one. You could try to block the network and they will look up a Youtube tutorial about VPN apps - and now some Chinese company is reading their personal data...

You deliver with the minimum you can get away with then improve from actual feedbacks, requests and data gathered from usage.

What people think they will want differs from what people will actually want which is not necessarily what data shows you should build. Build fast, improve incrementally.

The path highlighted in the article is exactly how you should not build a product. Don’t focus on all the things you could add, streamline your ideas as much as you can.
I can't see these devices specifically mentioned in https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0028/84970/i..., though the frequency range they operate in (20-140kHz) is allowed to be used by induction loop type applications, at a suitably low power.

Not all the “dead” one are drawn to show and highlight their wing geometry and colors. Iconic ones, yes, typically, but some are drawn in flight, feeding, and wings fanned out but not unnaturally.

I just did a couple of image searches.

First, searching for "butterflies", I get many different photos of real butterflies in various postures. The most common is wings open, spread out horizontally. None of the real butterflies have their wings stretched upwards in the pinned-out posture.

Second, filtering the same search with "image type: clip art", fully 99% of the results have the wings spread out and stretched up. (The 1% is detailed, realistic drawings.)

Now, whether you care about this is another matter, but it's hard to deny that that article is onto something. There's a very consistent quirk in the way butterflies in particular are illustrated.

Sure, I get it, “ha ha, look you idiots that’s not the natural pose of butterflies, you guys and gals have been getting fooled and I’m not”

I think you're misreading the tone of that article and the people citing it. It's not anger or contempt; it's sadness that real living butterflies aren't widely understood, and hope that the stereotyped depiction can be improved on.
