CentOS Stream is what will become the next _minor_ version of RHEL, Fedora is used as the foundation for the next _major_ version.

At the current point in time, the work for RHEL 9.0 is currently happening in Stream 9, which forked from Fedora 34 for its base. As we approach the release of 9.0, Stream will move to start tracking 9.1 development.

In three years, Fedora will be forked again (estimating Fedora 40) and that will be used as the base for EL10, and all EL10 development will then happen in Stream 10. The work in Stream 10 will then produce all of RHEL 10's minor versions (10.0 beta, 10.0, 10.1 beta, ... 10.10).

Stream only exists within the context of Enterprise Linux, it doesn't in anyway replace Fedora.

What about it? We're talking small businesses here, this will not be a warehouse full of racks worth of machines to try and sell. We're likely talking 3 to 10 PC-sized machines in a closet or storage room. You can sell those on 2nd hand market pretty quickly and even if you sell them at 30-40% loss you are extremely likely to have already paid off the other 60-70% during the machines' service time.

The best OO system is a system with only one object –– warehouse/workshop model
The best object-oriented system is a system with only one object ---- warehouse/workshop model, It's equivalent to treating the whole system as an object, and is the only object of the system.

- Warehouse: Object state

- Workshop: Object method

This is fully consistent with the following quote:

It’s better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures.
---- Alan Perlis, Turing Award (1966)

We can split a large system and evolve it into a microservice system.

- Warehouse: Object state, dataservice, data management

- Workshop: Object method, Microservice, Various independent systems.

Many large enterprises have independent information systems produced by different manufacturers and need to integrate. We can integrate many independent systems and evolve it into an integrated system.:

- Workshop: Object method, individual subsystems

- Warehouse: Object state

1. The information system integration layer acts as a individual system

2. A unified abstraction layer (virtual database, virtual data warehouse) of enterprise global data, external data requests for any subsystem are requested from warehouse(virtual unified db) without knowing which other subsystem to obtain them from. Achieve the unity of the global system.

3. The middle layer and data routing of system interconnection.

so, Workshops (object method, microservices, independent systems) are decentralized and independent, but The workshop is connected with data services (object status, warehouse) to form a system (large object).

Traditional OO architecture VS. Warehouse/Workshop Model

1. Traditional OO architecture

There is no definite, operational theoretical basis for design and evaluation, the design is very random, and there are not many good OO architectures.

In the same case, the OO architectures designed by different people are very different, and it is difficult to evaluate the pros and cons. For this situation, it is generally called lack of scientificity.

2. Warehouse/Workshop Model

- Based on mathematical models, operations research, management science

- With 10 principles, 5 aesthetics, and 5 basic components
The architecture can be visualized with a simple star chart and Gantt chart

- In the same case, the architecture designed by different people will be consistent and clear. The pros and cons of different people's design schemes can be accurately judged by mathematical models and operations research. For this situation, it is generally called science.

Exactly: full fledged Word Processor, optimized for the contextual technology of a ~13'' EPD display (so, for example, no scrolling, corner-to-corner (but the margins) use of the display in two columns landscape - for use with a slotted BT keyboard). Native Java for Android (no need for NDK). Rich text and full paragraph justification, spacing and indenting - from scratch: text is rendered and placed on the bitmap of the screen canvas bit by bit whenever necessary upon editing. Functions through touchscreen and keyboard shortcuts. I structured a markup (using both paragraph styles and ad-hoc "direct formatting" - bold, italics etc.) which allows for simplicity and comfort in file manipulation, but the translation to .fodt (or .xml in general) is almost trivial (there are libraries around to manage typical formats: I have checked but not implemented as for personal use I do not really need the feature). Battery wise, I managed to remain very conservative: sometimes even 2%/hour (~100mA, equivalent to many days of work) of consumption (fortunately, also the use of BT keyboards consume very little).

It was started this June (2021), and I have used it for many hundred of hours with good productivity. I have not published it (yet) as I would want to polish the code first. It was quite rewarding to get it done (the best tailored product is the one you develop for yourself) - but still with a sensation of quite absurd oddity, since I had been using full-fledged word processors in the early nineties, and "there I was", almost thirty years later, with tablets much more powerful than the desktops of yore, coding a word processor because all was available for Android was unfit for use if compared to desktop tools, and I was just losing time waiting for "the product"... It's not "normal".
What if you have an old version of glib-c on your machine?

There’s always going to be odd edge cases where things break, no matter what language you build your tooling, but I’ve installed thousands of Python packages on CentOS7, Ubuntu, OSX, Debian via pip and haven’t had issues. Ergo, I disagree with the writer.

This article is basically saying “things are complex, complexity is hard, so don’t do complex things”. On that point I agree. If you don’t have the time to invest in the tech, don’t build unsupported systems. But don’t throw Python under the bus because you don’t have time to build a proper package.
> This isn’t what the future looks like if we’re replacing ICE vehicles with electrics. A driver needs to be able to pull into just about any commercial parking lot and find a fast charger. The most obvious would be wiring up the big box and grocery stores with fast chargers. But I’ve seen maybe a handful of those across three states.

Can you drive into just about any commerical parking lot and find a gas station to fill up with? We certainly need a much denser network of fast charging than exist today. But we don't even need to achieve the same density as our current gas refueling infrastructure because many people will be able to charge at home overnight. At some point apartment complexes will start to provide charging station for some or most of their residents.

Remember most people will only need to charge to full once or twice a week.
Tell me you don't understand the fundamental blockchain tradeoff between scalability, decentralization, and security, without telling me you don't understand. Blockchain technology has unique advantages and constraints, like any novel technology.

Bitcoin chose a set of parameters designed to ensure sufficient security budget to protect the network, while optimizing for decentralization thereby limiting transaction throughput on layer 1 as the tradeoff. Lightning and other layer-2 provide the scalability by leveraging the security of layer-1.

Bitcoin layer-1 is ideal for sending large payments (say >$1000USD today):
It currently costs ~$1USD to post a transaction on the Bitcoin layer-1 blockchain. For that I can send an arbitrary amount with no upper limit of value, enjoy payment finality in about 6 blocks (~1hr) and I never have to pay any more to store the value associated with my Bitcoin address. Security for the life of the network is included in my $1 transaction fee.

Bitcoin layer-2 (Lightning) is ideal for small payments (<$1000USD today):
It currently costs a small fraction of a penny to send funds across the Lightning network with near instant finality (seconds) and very good anonymity.

The two technologies complement one another to provide an example to the world of what a sound-money system could mean if it was truly decentralized and immune from manipulation by centralized actors (central banks, governments, etc).

Prove me wrong. Is there another form of money that:

- is virtually guaranteed to be immune to manipulation by central actors?

- allows you to transmit any amount of value to anyone (censorship resistance) anywhere in the world within about an hour for about $1USD and know with confidence that the payment will go through with finality?

- allows you to send smaller amounts for fractions of a penny in seconds to anyone anywhere?

There's a fair few commercial sellers for MiSTer related stuff. Yes some just build existing open hardware designs, but not everything is open hardware.

E.g. the MiSTercade https://misteraddons.com/products/mistercade or the MiSTer mini ITX Ironclad Plus https://www.d3fmod.com/mini-itx-ironclad-plus/

None of these are trying to lock people into their solutions, they're just providing other options.
Who invaded Ukraine, the USA? Russia has a long history of fucking it's neighbors. Why do you think the entirety of Eastern Europe wants nothing to do with them. You think they'll stop at Ukraine, their goal is to restore the Soviet Union and keep all these countries under their thumb. Even Putin says it was the biggest mistake in Russian history to allow the break up of their Empire.

Putin is criminal and he is no friend of the West. His aircraft loiter around Alaska and he tests US defenses every hour. Don't be an apologist for a tyrant.

How else would you implement that with SVG? And in my experience filters have been very well supported for the past years. They are part of the SVG conformance tests anyway, so any mismatch is also a broken SVG implementation.

The hole in your reasoning is that “it’s a Ponzi scheme!!!” is not a reasonable argument against crypto and shows a misunderstanding of both Ponzi schemes and cryptocurrency. And it is always at the top of HN threads about cryptocurrency. “why don’t they just believe” ends up being the response because if you look around, there are well-reasoned arguments against nearly all of the criticisms of the main cryptocurrencies, and people continue to willfully ignore them, giving us never-ending comments about Ponzi schemes. Reasonable criticism is what is happening within the development communities of these projects.

I don't think it needs any new inventions, only wider rollout of what we can do already: fast DC chargers.

Current EVs need a 20 min charge per 3 hours of driving. It may not be ideal for pee-in-a-bottle cannonball racers, but IMHO it's entirely reasonable for most people. It's approaching a point of diminishing returns.

Compare this with charging of smartphones vs brick phones. Daily charging used to be considered a dealbreaker, but fast charging made it a no-big-deal, and people got used to it.
I worked many jobs here in US and they all had holiday pay. So if I worked I would get paid 1.5x and if I didn't work I would still get paid as if I did.

Not supporting the idea that anyone is entitled to this, but saying it is not uncommon. I think it is regional within the US and maybe depends if you are hourly or salary based.
Laptop Review: Apple M1 Max MacBook Pro (2021) – Back with a Vengeance
The interesting thing about big tech in that regard, is a 50% income tax rate wouldn't be enough to stop them.

Big tech piles up large amounts of cash as it is and they have no idea what to do with it (other than shovel it back to shareholders). They have far beyond the margins they need to keep expanding, even with a 50% income tax. So the first thing it would do is cut into shareholder returns (less cash), their multiples would contract as investors would find them less appealing. Half of America is invested in big tech (in one form or another), and those are by far the most active voters. If they see their portfolios tank due to a huge hike in corporate income taxes, they'll promptly punish the politician/s that are responsible for it. Big tech would keep growing at 50%, so what's the alternative? 70%-80%? It's unlikely to ever have the support required to get it passed, it just plain sounds very egregious as a policy. At very high levels it comes across as: we like to punish success; and that's how it would be run against politically by the other side (Republicans).

GaN has higher electron mobility but SiC has higher thermal conductivity.

So GaN is more efficient for higher frequencies and higher power and SiC is better for high temperatures and has higher potential power density than GaN

SiC will be cheaper and probably dominate GaN in production volume. Epitaxial GaN on SiC (and even GaN on diamond substrate) are used for high power, low noise at high frequency RF where the applications can justify the cost.
That's not exactly correct. Electrons don't flow through wires - there's a one-way flow of the ambient electrons around the wire from the field created.

Re “ Regional date formats vary throughout the world and it's often difficult to find a human-friendly date format that feels intuitive to everyone. The advantage of dates formatted like 2017-07-17 is that they follow the order of largest to smallest units: year, month, and day.”

I disagree. ISO 8601 is great for machine readable dates. For human readable dates I prefer to spell the month out.

17 July 2017 is more readable than 2020-07-17. Yes it is in English but if your audience is in English and the rest of your content is in English then it’s fine.

But what if one of those local, small, and diverse communities doesn't conform to the globally approved ideology? Diversity in modern culture means physical window dressing.

Even if few companies "get" good software, big tech might still end if good software companies start to sell disaggregated services. Shopify is an example from the article.

Ah yes. Extraordinary short-term events affecting only some regions vs. chronic shortage of available fast chargers pretty much everywhere.

Yup, same thing.
You talked to what seems like level 1 support at Apple, not an "engineer". Why do you believe them when they say "nobody at Apple" can reverse this decision?
I think you’re grossly underestimate the availability of chargers in Europe.

They’re far more common than people expect, but you won’t see them unless you’re looking for them. 90% of the chargers are just posts with a cable, or just little black box on a lamppost with a socket. (There’s about 5 within a 10min walk of flat in London, that are hardly used)

Certainly it can be tricky in more rural areas, but if you’re spending most of your time around towns and cities you’ll be fine. If you live rural you’ll have the space to install your own private charger.
Two lesser known really cool things about Web Workers:

1. They kind of allow for stopping synchronous operations, example: some regexes have "catastrophic backtracking", executing them will take a really long time, so what do you do if you have to execute user-provided regexes, especially if on the server? Detecting potentially catastrophic regexes is tough, reimplementing the regex engine in order to make it yield to the main thread frequently so that you can stop it is super tough, so what's the solution? You can execute the regex in a Web Worker, and if you haven't received a response within some set amount of time you can just kill the Web Worker, effectively stopping the regex execution, cool!

2. They kind of allow for blocking on promises, example: normally you can't block the event loop while you are waiting for a promise to be resolved, in other words you can't make an asynchronous function synchronous, except if you use Web Workers, you can execute the asynchronous function you need on a worker, and then use Atomics.wait on the main thread to block (without melting the computer) until that function resolves, super cool!
It's a good point. Large companies aren't going away. But the market dominance of a few large companies might go away.

The URL should be changed to cite the Wapo's story: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/12/03/twitter...
WSPR itself is not Godfrey's invention, and in fact depends on many radio amateurs, globally, sending, receiving and analyzing signals - for the purpose of measuring the atmosphere's radio transmission parameters, I believe. Godfrey may have originated the claim that it could be used to track aircraft at long ranges, and that claim seems to have been met with considerable skepticism on the grounds of poor signal/noise ratio.

Godfrey claims that his WSPR track matches that from the Inmarsat data, where the latter is available. In evaluating that claim, I would first want to know if the WSPR track was developed without any input from Inmarsat or other sources.

UPDATE:
There is this article [1] on a blind test of the ability to track aircraft. It looks good here, but then I read this:

'There was one error of note, the initial turn of the aircraft after departure was to port and not starboard. Mike commented “I should have told you that aircraft departing NSFA on RWY 08 will always turn to port due to terrain clearance considerations. If you’d known that then no doubt the first part of the route would have been a bit more accurate.”' [my emphasis.]

One should not, of course, be providing additional evidence in a blind test, and the suggestion that this should have been done raises doubts about how the test was conducted: for example, did the person performing the analysis know the general features of the flight, such as its destination? A more convincing blind test, IMHO, would go like this: "In the interval <begin> to <end>, one airplane passed through <some region>. Develop a plot of its flight before and after, as far as possible." - and there should be more than one test, of course, and perhaps they should say, truthfully, at most one airplane...
