Here's a few other distros that i enjoy and that are on the lighter side, even though they're larger than Slitaz.

Personally, i'd look at the usability of a distro first and then the file size, which seems to work out nicely for me with the below distros, since their desktops (e.g. LXDE/LXQt, XFCE) are fully featured and there's a sufficient amount of software for them to be daily drivers.

I've done some more work - apparently nonperiodic tiling is uncomputable. This is used to make toilet roll more compressed (that's why the sheets don't line up) and that must count as a manifestation of the uncomputable in our physical universe. I think this is a reasonable proof that the physical universe is uncomputable.
You'd say 10 and 9 are coprime.

Your plural incorrectly suggests that 10 is coprime and 9 is coprime.
Commute wasn't everything. I could also do the dishes while thinking about stuff, or vacuum during "read only" meetings. I could eat leftovers, or start pulled pork at noon so it's ready by dinner. If I lived more centrally, I could run errands on my lunch break.

Even work was more fun. I could play music or even movies in the background. I could threaten my computer with unrestricted profanity.

On the other hand, I used to walk to work. This walk was an important divide in my day, and a good time to think about stuff. I also used to have lunch with colleagues. I miss that.

Liberal market based societies / economies have many failings, and would be a very interesting conversation to explore some of these.

To refocus on the UC situation, and at the risk of putting words in your mouth, the general idea is that UC is exploring a set of policies, which may or maynot work for them, worst case they fail and some of the other XXX universities in this country will raise to the occasion and take their place. What's the big deal?

The SU slow moving disaster is relevant insomuch there are moral systems out there that have a mind of their own and are impervious to feedback, if not downright feeding on failure. They are so self evidently righteous that no cost is too high and no institution can afford to not implement them. With no control group left to highlight failures and moderate excesses, the whole society tailspins and the only hope becomes, tragically, total collapse.

The extent to which SU story is relevant to current UC / US situation, anybody's guess. My only job here is to be a witness for past errors.
> the Greens, which were somewhat left-ish at the time.

You mean they aren't any more?!?

No, not being sarcastic: international news media hasn't reported on that, or if they did, I missed it. So where are they now -- center-left, center-center, center-right...? And by how much? (I doubt they've gone far-right, right?)

When profit centered design enters the building, human centered design jumps out of the window. Rationalizing this with thousand UX cases and cluttered UI is not a solution to the user problems. But the users buy this stuff and so the things go on.
The number of people who refuse to commit to MIT/BSD/etc. code is almost not existing, the number of people who refuse or cannot commit to GPL is plentiful.

> It makes me sad to see so much confusion, incorrect information, naiveté and paranoia going around regarding the GPL

I agree, there are still too many people who think the GPL is _just_ another license. It's not and many figured this out the hard way after they already accepted contributions under the GPL and moving away has become hard to impossible.
A really cool article summarizing decades of amazing research by some very smart and determined minds.

Would it be possible to walk back the evolutionary chain of events that leads to a specific brain structure?

For example, one of the scientists says that the connectomes mapping might be in the order of peta bytes of peta bytes of data.

But they originated from a seemingly 'simple' millions or billions of pairs of DNA. Would it make sense to trace back from a system design or a theoretical limits perspective? The chain of chemical reactions from DNA to these neurons and so forth.. the combinatorics from a DNA perspective while very complex seems manageable compared to the mapping of neurons after they have evolved into a full 'creature'.

Coinbase co-founder launches biggest VC fund in crypto
My 2014 Mercedes has a clicky wheel/joystick combo with a menu system that doesn't wrap around, and it's excellent. I can always go to any item without looking because I know that 5up and 5left will go to the start of the menu (even if I don't remember which menu item I left it on, though it's almost always the music tab) and then I can navigate with the clicky wheel.

No other controls, but very easy to use without looking.

Maybe, but it conceptually it doesn't have to be like that. Often, the password is not sent directly, but its hash is sent (sometimes hashed multiple times), so that the same property is true.
Maybe they just want to put attention somewhere where it doesn't bother them?
Yes, but how would it be enforced? Just slap on that gemini-tag and pretend to be compliant but continue using all the shady techniques of the modern web.

If most users would end up browsing gemini with a regular browser that sort of thing would be commonplace.
Yes – the software is licensed under the Apache license and you are free to use it as such. It also separately grants additional rights on top of that license, which don't affect your rights under the Apache license. It's similar to the GPLv2 with the Classpath exception.
Reassigning functions during use or over the course of ownership is a Very Bad Idea.

Even for professional commercial pilots there are numerous aircraft accidents which can be attributed to "alternate law" (different control-system response modes) engaging or disengaging at different times, often without clearly notifying flight crew of this fact. And this is an issue for operators trained and licensed to specific aircraft, instrumentation, and variants. Air France 447 is a classic example of this.

The case for automobile operators, many of whom receive cursory training at best early in their driving careers and carry this forward for decades, often operating novel or unfamiliar vehicles (rentals, borrowed from a friend, acting as a relief driver during a long trip) is simply a recipe for disaster.

Control functions should not change after designation, with the possible exception of auxiliary controls not critical to overall vehicle performance or function, or those which are accessed and used only when the vehicle is not in motion (e.g., diagnostics or repair information / interfaces).
> I think the "killer use case" will probably be to have a better language for continuous builds and "cloud automation", which on current platforms like Github, Gitlab, and sourcehut use a lot of YAML and shell.

I feel the pain of this.

In fact, it often goes like this:

1. Start in Yaml since things are simple enough

2. Use a multi-line Yaml string when things get worse

3. Extract to a shell script when things get even worse than that

Except things are still painful after step 3: I’m now writing bash. Shellcheck helps but still hit gotchas. Other team members avoid it completely.

The problem with “just use Python” is that it’s not as straight forward as doing that. We have to set up venvs and make sure deps in requirements.txt are installed. And we’re not using it on the project we’re building (the languages we are using simply are not as good for scripts).

What is needed is a better shell, where we don’t feel as apprehensive about using shell scripts for project automation and those shell scripts are maintainable by everyone on the team.

I could internalise enough bash warts to write and maintain them, but I can’t expect to burden my team mates with crap that’s far more painful than it should be to maintain.

So yeah, I’m now at a point where:

1. I’ll try a new shell and try for pastures greener

2. I’m sick to death of debugging half-baked Lisp-as-Yaml for automation and if the guys who solve 1 also solve this, I’d owe a debt I could never repay.
The examples were thoughtfully done and well presented. Nice.
That's interesting. They'd have to drag me back kicking and screaming into the office. I got used to having time for anything, and can't imagine myself voluntarily giving that up.
FWIW, going with Apache 2.0 is/was a mistake.

There is a clause in the license which implies that almost everybody who uses GitHub/GitLab/etc. to work on an Apache 2.0 project in the common workflows is in breech of the license.

Specifically, the license says that every file with modifications has to include a corresponding notice that the file was changed. Nobody does this in practice.

Unfortunately the license is simply badly written.

Licenses like the GPL don't have this problem because they only require that a modified version of the software is clearly marked as such without stating how that marking should be done. So the metadata contained in the Git history should be enough to satisfy those superior licenses.
I would guess that such a project is at least one hundred years away, based on its difficulty and the progress we have made in the last one hundred years (assuming a similar rate of progress, and that is not a sure thing).

It is hard to describe how difficult this would be.

Are there not noticeable battery life consequences of socketed RAM? From what I can tell, and I’m sure others here would know more, this often comes up as a reason for the battery life of the Framework laptop (or other socketed RAM portable laptops) compared to similar laptops with soldered RAM.
> A fascinating account of someone productively using Kedit is included in the following article by John McPhee, of all people

A truly fascinating read, thanks for sharing!
As much as I wish this were true as a person ferociously opposed to Facebook, Twitter, et al. I tripled my salary in less than a year once I got on LinkedIn. There are many things I'd give up in life to fight the centralization of power in the hands of behemoth social networks. It's not being able to tell my wife she can quit sex work forever because I got this now.

All the recruiters are on LinkedIn and they are all too willing to accommodate whatever previously unthinkable salary you can think of. The fast feedback loop ("no, no, yes") among dozens of recruiters flooding your inbox ensures that you know within a few short weeks what the market can bear. You can use this knowledge to bootstrap yourself to the next tier of positions and salaries what might have taken you a decade of "natural" progression without LinkedIn.
People can't simply take away MIT-licensed code either - it grants you the right to use that code, and does so irrevocably.

What GPL does is make sure that code that is built on top of that will also be accessible to you, if the product it's used in is made public. But your own contributions and anything MIT-licensed it is added to will never be legally taken away from you.

My current car has endless knobs:

If I set the volume to 0 the software pauses a recording so I can no longer skip unwanted parts without messing with fast-forward while driving. These smart knobs invite designers to mess with basic functionality that has worked for decades (play, pause, rewind, fast forward)

Occasionally, due to a bug, on cold winter mornings when I set the heating to max, I won't get warm air even after I've driven for a while and the engine is already hot. I then have to move the knob to cold and hot again for the software to register and finally give me some warmth.

I'd like chickenhead knobs that are connected to the functionality as direct as possible, please!

Chibitronics – Expressive Technology with Paper Circuits
I believe that's the general consensus on what would happen, except it wouldn't just be military satellites if there were munitions to spare. There's only a small chance that all sides would refrain because they didn't want their own attacked and as soon as one side starts there's no reason for the others not to.
as good as any :)
We can extract oxygen from water right now, so we can already do this. Requiring a specific implementation technology is unreasonably stacking the deck.

You’re making the same mistake as those who critiqued the concept of heavier than air flying machines, starting from the assumption they must work by flapping their wings. As it happens now we have wing flapping drones anyway though.

“Ever” is a very, very, very long time.
A button has opened car doors for 20 years, the keyless start nonsense offers no benefit. To turn the engine off with a key you have to press a button then find the key.

When I’m driving I use the buttons on the steering wheel to change volume, station etc, more complex stuff needs a touch screen (CarPlay and maps), that’s fine because of the buttons on the wheel.

My current car isn’t great - it has “lane assist” which turns itself back on every time you start, and is in a menu system to disable (albeit two physical buttons to press). rentals I’ve had recently just have a physical button near the gearstick which your turn off once and it stays off)

It’s a minefield buying a car and ensuring you get all the right features (a key, a spare wheel, physical buttons for controls)

Sure, some words in that statement is "marketing jargon", but most of it is actually technical.
> Perhaps it's just psychological. If I'm feeling cold, I don't trust the system and I turn it up. If I'm feeling warm, I want it colder faster. If it's -10C outside, I'll turn it up to 24C even though it may not get me warmer than if I just left it at 21C. Then it gets 24C and I'm hot. This may be just a case of humans using good system badly.

If they use linear control that would actually help a bit.

What I would like is a range on the temperature. If it's between 17-21, don't bother wasting energy on getting it cooler or warmer.
There is no piston. Where do you see one? Did you even watch the video? The whole launch sequence is shown there. There's a pressurized hot hydrogen tank that empties into the barrel. There's no "piston [...] driven up to speed, pumping the hydrogen". The hydrogen flows into the barrel on its own because it has high static pressure at the moment of firing. The presenter literally explains it in detail.

Yep true, although it's not just laptops. I often see 'high end
editing PCs' with 16GB of RAM, which is possibly sufficient for 1080p editing, but nowhere near enough for 4K editing for multiple programs open.

I guess it's similar to how some laptops/budget desktops still have hard drives, even though an SSD wouldn't cost much more but it'd offer great performance benefits.
Doesn’t it work like your home thermostat for the 80s - heat is on until temperature sensor equals 73, then heat is off until temperature sensor less than 71
The thing with Faenza was the same reason it became popular - the uniformity of their outer shapes. Some people didn't liked them because it was hard for them to tell icons apart.

I once worked with the KDE VDG on what they would do about the default icon theme for their (then future) Frameworks 5.0 release, and suggested several icons going in that trend (which was originated in the rage of those days of skeumorphism on smartphones and Apple icons for iOS) - but was told that - and that they needed to use the original icons for several apps, like Firefox, so no custom versions would be appropriate - no "adaptation" to outer squared shapes were possible
Both very true but also overrated, in a way. When it's cold enough to avoid overheat without sweating and the body is sufficiently used to the task at hand to not trigger much sweating proactively from exertion that's actually just barely enough to keep you warm you can get by with surprisingly little drinking. One rainy day on an 11h ride I only increased drinking frequency in the last hour or so when I realized that a bike with empty bottles would be easier to carry up the stairs.
I honestly can't wait for this to open. I ground out the full 300 stars recently going back through all the previous years and it was one of my favourite programming experiences. Eric Wastl's such a great problem setter.
Ah ok! Primary roads do indeed turn to highways, and without a GPS I can understand how you ended up in such road in the first place, simply by following the direction signs.
Depending on model, I guess. My 2 year old x360 has so bad airflow for cooling that I've had multiple "meltdowns" if I forget to put a spacer underneath it. Basically the whole thing shuts down and won't boot again for an hour, and the underside is painfully hot. A pencil underneath the screen hinge works best for keeping enough airflow to avoid this.

The first time it had a meltdown, my touchpad stopped working completely, so I went with an external mouse. Second time, the touchpad melted itself back into place I guess, so now it works again.
A bit sad today, so I wanted to open a random thread and wish you well. Remember to take a moment to appreciate the people around you.

One surprising thing is that a lot of people go through life with serious existential dread, and that you can't really empathize with what it's like until you experience it yourself. Sometimes I wonder what the point is –– we evolved that behavior for a reason, and I can't think of a single way it improves one's ability to produce grandchildren. (Apparently the best evolutionary traits are those that let your children have children, rather than you having children directly, which was sort of counterintuitive.) In my experience, the existential dread seems to do nothing but chip away at people and their relationships.

Life gets strange at 30+. If you're around 20, my advice would be to relax and enjoy yourself, and truly realize that almost nothing you do now will matter in the long run. The reason that pushing yourself seems like the path to success is because you don't hear about the 9 out of 10 cases of ruined lives as a result of unrealistic expectations. But it's very easy to get caught up in being driven, as if it's religion.

Just find something small that makes you happy. Even if it's a pointless number puzzle, it's still yours. And that's good enough.
It's kinda fun. By now I'm used to writing Android code with what I write showing up on the screen only every couple seconds.

Mind, not all the time, but enough to get used to it.
Goodhart was an economist and Campbell was a social psychologist. The fact that they independently made similar observations in different fields is substantial. Though, maybe it's more efficient to remember the over-arching idea, it also makes sense to identify them independently.

From the FAQ:

>Please don't. Because of legal issues like copyright and attribution, I don't accept puzzle ideas, and I won't even read your email if it looks like one just in case I use parts of it by accident.

It's sad that we live in a world where code snippets sent by others can result in legal issues down the line.

Politics: The environment will get a bigger slice of the political discussion, but nothing major will come out of it. North America will put everything on electric cars while neglecting everything else. Europe will do a lot more. The rest of the world won't do anything.

COVID: Governments will tighten the screws on unvaccinated people and nudge them agressively towards vaccination or isolation. It will make some people uneasy, and others will cheer for it.

Entertainment: Adam Driver will be cast in every blockbuster, sometimes more than once.

Technology: Big tech will build more of their own chips, mostly ARM chips. The Metaverse will fail to excite the crowd. The EU will isssue billion dollar antitrust fines.
