> You are jumping between claims. As you've acknowledged Ethereum will switch to PoS where your climate change claims are incorrect (as they already are when talking about crypto as a whole).

I don't think you should give them too much credit for a switch to PoS that hasn't actually happened yet. There's no intermediate benefit of "planning to switch."
It was just one example.
Paradigm shifts, at least in the Khunian sense, tend to happen over a generational scale, which means, firstly, that they take a considerable time to become recognised as the new paradigm, and secondly, that you tend not to see too many in a lifetime.
Ironically, Windows is moving more and more to that, except the tiling manager

with WinGet, and other things moving to windows, I likely would be recommending windows users do 1, 2 and to a lesser deg 4.

Windows users should be learning powershell, windows users should be leaning WinGet and/or other nuget based package managers (i.e Chocolatey), and windows users should maybe not compile from source but learn powershell scripting .
The problem in this scenario will be feature disparity. If they want, they can add cool stuff to Bedrock, and make vanilla Java version feel old and obsolete just the way 1.12 (which probably has the most mods) looks now when compared with fresh 1.18.

Then, by making Bedrock available to people who paid for Java, they would give a hassle-free way for players and modders to try it, and many will probably stick to the latest version.

I do hope, if this scenario comes about, the community will keep the Java version alive by maintaining feature parity, but there’re fundamental issues where some features might not be easily backported on Java due to performance limitations, plus community fragmentation as different modders try to backport same new features in different mutually incompatible ways.
How to use AssistiveTouch on Apple Watch [video]
I'm also using the MX Ergo, but I replaced D2FC-F (made in China) with D2F-01F (made in Japan). So far, it has been working great, and I love how it feels compared to the stock switch. The video linked in the article also mentioned (in the description) that D2F-01F may last longer electrically since it's micro-load rated (1mA instead of 100mA), so I guess I'm safe for a while (although it's only rated 1M mechanically).
I'm keeping an eye on Bespoke Synth for that.

Am a keen user of Renoise which is not free but it's really good (if you enjoy trackers) and also very affordable.

In the meantime, hyped for how the foss audio world is shaping up. We soon might not even a commercial daw at all anymore, just like Blender is doing in the 3D world (I work with artists in a studio and we switched almost our whole pipeline, sans simulations, to Blender).
I have never encountered this in Europe. Or i might be misunderstanding what you mean
Exactly this. People are happy to buy a computer which is specifically intended to run macOS, but refuse to do the same for Linux and then complain when it doesn't work perfectly.

Sure, it is super nice to have the option of running it on almost any hardware, but as you said, if you don't want to do any tinkering, you need to buy the right hardware. If you want the corporate guaranteed experience, you need to buy it from a company that offers that. Lenovo and Dell offer machines with a Linux certification, but that seems to be more of a "we think it should work" sort of situation. That is good enough for my personal use, but my next work computer is going to be from System76.
There are more efficient, less environmentally-damaging technologies that should be used instead.

The origins of these clauses appeared to be entirely from third party lawyers, probably derived from some boilerplate contract. I presume their priority is to maximise legal "protection" for the company at all cost... even if it drives employees away, so it's not necessarily something the company explicitly asked for.

They may not have explicitly asked for any particular clause but when someone in the GC’s office of a company large enough to have a GC reaches out to outside counsel to have one of these agreements drafted the general tone and parameters are very much discussed. If the resulting contract is very one sided and anti-employee it’s because that’s what the company that paid for it to be drafted wanted. Don’t be fooled into thinking otherwise.
If by 'singularity' you mean the one defined by Kurzweil/Verner Vinge, it is worth keeping in mind that he thinks that exponential advancement has a huge component to it which appears linear, where things appears to be hardly advancing or only marginally advancing.
> But I wouldn't agree with that; macOS abstracts away a lot of basic things, and that's why I like it.

Everything does that now.

People only care about boot loaders if they want to dual boot Windows, and in general the extent of caring about it is to confirm when the installer asks if that's what you want to do.

Linux attracts the kinds of people who want to know what a boot loader is, because it makes that easier than alternatives do. But it's not actually required to use it.
What I want is a way to run VSTs from the command line. Often I just have the same chain of VST with saved settings that I want to run a file through and a DAW shouldn't be required. mrswatson is the only thing close I have found but it doesn't seem to work at all.

I'll admit my usecase is unique, just running certain Izotope plugins over interview audio to clean them up but I really wish command line composition and automation were possible.

It's crazy that he wrote this for a food magazine. I think when they sent him on this assignment that this was not at all what they were expecting to get back.
I’ve been using Linux for ten years and I agree. These are not very enticing reasons.

Terminals and shells are overrated. Most popular shell languages are terrible as programming languages, and if you go for a less popular interactive shell then you will “ruin your muscle memory” or whatever for when you have to SSH into a Linux “box” (as they call it). (A lot of new tech on Linux is immediately suspicious because “[I’m a sysadmin and] this won’t work on this 30 year old Unix variant”.) The terminals themselves are just 70s technology and you might have to use another layer on top of the terminal (multiplexer) in order to do simple things like copy (to the clipboard) the output of the previous command—it’s not an integrated experience at all.

And Mac has terminals and shells as well. Although I guess a different (probably better) default shell compared to many Linux distros.

Tiling window managers are great and a great concept. But they often come bundled with yet-another-multi-weekend configuration campaign as you have to set up basic, simple things like date-and-time and the battery level (and often in a bad/unaliased font as well… because some users might be running their window managers on potatoes).

Maybe Linux is too much of a configuration-sink for people like me. But I ended up on it for whatever reason.
I am pretty sure they refer to Intel networking and sound hardware. Because AMD has good stuff for both CPUs and graphics while I do not know of any reliable alternatives for networking and sound.

That’s rude and presumptious, like the very behavior you dislike.

My default is not to expect others to be nice and generous, like if you work for an asshole do you expect them not to be an asshole? Is that an intelligent assumption?

I have realistic expectations.
I like the principle of modular wooden design, but the branding on them panders to the infantalization of the adults who would buy them. Truly, for children of all ages.
A great use case would be data collected in the process of complying with general govt regulations.

Why this is better than central DB:
Allows govt to outsource IT
Public interest in the data will result in 3rd party clients being developed
It makes that govt data more accesible for all parties - no gatekeeping

Use case examples
All modern houses have a ton of compliance docs - window installers, insulation installers, HVAC, etc. Recording that data on the public blockchain provides a universal storage mechanism and API to that data. There is no reason for that data to be private / behind gatekeepers and a whole range of stakeholders - home builders, academics, environmentalist - want access.

Tracking highway per mile marker. Similar to the home building example - the govt collects a whole bunch of data (accidents, pollution run off and constituents, expenses). Many entities could use that data and relying on all govts worldwide to provide it seems cumbersome to unlikely.

Lithium batteries were discovered 30+ years ago, and while there hasn't been a major breakthrough in the tech (a single-improvement that 2x+ it) if you look at e.g. prices they have been exponentially decreasing for the last 10 years, and now they are around 90% cheaper than 10 years ago. Make them another 50%-80% cheaper and e.g. ICE simply won't make sense.

On Biology for example, isn't Covid19 vaccine and mRNA in general a huge breakthrought?
Interesting to see you get the causality potentially wrong. I take it that because of the book perhaps the author felt emboldened to share their story -- which they otherwise might be pressured to hide. Do you see how that might be a possibility?

What if your thesis was "I expect to only see reports of sexism from people with clout because they're the only ones that can actually tell the truth without getting their lives ruined?"

Yeah my company canceled JB Toolbox subscriptions because there was no noticeable team productivity gain for using JB after we tested out and compared with vscode for a year.

We used CLion and Webstorm. At the time, CLion did not have remote debug but VScode did, which triggered the trial. Switching from webstorm to vscode for webdev was trivial.

From our team perspective, using JB didn't produce noticeably faster turnaround or less bug. It was no brainer to forgo the subscriptions and just use VScode.

For a while, the only thing affected was developer comfort. But everyone adapted very fast and surprisingly, new members to the team are also most likely familiar with vscode already.

> And still not a single example of a good real world use case.

Have you ever heard of lending protocols? You can park dollar in a smart contracts and earn a couple of percent interest per year. AAVE and Compound are quite popular examples.

DAI is a decentralized stable coin trying to track the dollar value that’s been running for years. It is also implemented as a smart contract.

Then there are decentralized exchanges where you can swap different tokens on the Ethereum block chains. You can also park tokens in such money pools and also earn interest.

The biggest problem with Ethereum right now are the very high transaction fees that render these otherwise quite successful examples useless for people holding only small amounts of tokens. But this can be blamed on the ongoing crypto bubble.
Like I said, they can just charge it back to you, and no law is going to completely prevent them from doing that one way or another. So I think it's a waste of time with a party you already have a paid service agreement with.
Yep. I really think more usage of escrow type solutions will be an important next step for this to go mainstream.
But you wonder how the colonialists managed to colonise in the first place...

I mean if the culture is rich and beautiful, it's still useless if it crumbles at the sight of the first merchant ship from thousands of kms away.

Point being, the indian intellectual culture is enjoyable but it did not focus enough on what could have made people able to stay free, and stealing part of the invaders ideas to reinforce the local ability is not bad, it's the only way to resist the next wave.

To simplify grossly: less worship, less obedience, less birth hierarchy, more political alliance with neighbours (so that you're not surrounded by sharks when you're in trouble), more national awareness (opposed to tribal), more ability to quickly iterate even if elders disagree (so that you're the one with a big innovative merchant navy) . It feels that's what made some countries rise super fast and start colonising while others went rotten and self destructed.

My country, France, is a few kms away from England and they stopped being able to colonize us long before India, so what was missing in India, so expensive to invade ? (ofc, France also horribly colonized countries and we should have had the maturity not to, but guess what we told our own protectorates when we came: look at England colonizing your neighbour, let us "protect" you so you can compete...)
You’re not going to see the 300MV unless you had the lightning strike a pole with your cables connected to it, though. I wonder if optically isolated Ethernet couplers (do they even exist??) could work instead of the much more expensive fiber hardware on either end.

I believe the electrolyte inflammable. If you slow dendrite growth by 1/2 and have an inflammable electrolyte, that's a huge accomplishment. A 10 year battery becomes a 20 year battery and doesn't burn your house down when something goes wrong.
Still Not Getting Energy Prices Right: A Global Update of Fossil Fuel Subsidies
Not true - one can make a lot of money while being a good citizen. Not a hoard of billions, but quite enough to live comfortably on.

Yes - I slipped 'while' in as a substiutute for 'by'. Arguably the CEO of Oxfam is a 'good citizen' as part of his job, from which he earns millions. So he earns that 'by' being a good citizen. I meant that it's perfectly possible to have a well-paid job that doesn't involve exploiting people or the environment, or generally being a dick. FVSO 'well-paid'.

If 'making a lot of money' means becoming a billionaire, well, I don't think cornering the world's wealth is consistent with being a good citizen.
The incident you linked was due to a front-end exploit rather than anything with smart contracts.

It's not about the CPU.

Intel makes everything and is known to have good Linux support. You can buy a system where "lspci" lists nothing but Intel hardware, and that system will run Linux well.

So will many other systems. AMD CPUs and GPUs in particular are good. Nvidia not so much. The vast majority of network adapters are no problem, but a few stupid ones do exist.

But it's easier to say "just get everything Intel" than to enumerate the entire hardware compatibility list.
The 6i instances are beating all amd and generally-available graviton instances in raw performance and performance-per-dollar on my workloads. I don’t think you’ll be well-served carrying this mental bias around. Better to actually try it and find out.

If you’re going to compare the paper performance of an unreleased machine to a 3-year-old Intel machine then yeah probably the former will win.
That's a bizarre comment because the least protected thing here is the idea. This guy is free to get a new job and write a new library from scratch, or just tell his new company to do X + Y.

Also, of course, German law does not allow the US-style overarching IP clauses at all.
The test is relatively simple: If you use the app as you normally would, you need to notice that an account got linked as a parent account, and the parent account can not be able to hide this. I.e. hidden somewhere in the settings is a start, but not enough.
There's a lot to address, but after PoS transitions you can still run a run node without 32 eth, it just won't play a role in finalization or production of a block.

As an aside: do you run a node?
What is missing is understanding that in math the sentence "if X = 3 then 2 * X = 6" is true even when X = 5.

For the proof to work the implication must be true, not the assumption.
This is the job of your linux distribution: it's not just a pile of packages. It includes the bridges required to rebuild each package for the infrastructure of the distribution.

If you really want to have everything rebuilding from source at your fingertips, you could already do that with gentoo and similar. Patching upstream sources and rebuilding is pretty trivial there if that's your thing. There are more to choose from.

You probably won't be having the build infrastructure of all your packages "ready" all the time though, and things are taking a turn to the worse due to dependency bundling where each package has it's own independent copy.
Hey, thanks for your feedback. This sounds like a great feature to add. Would you be available for a chat? I'd like to learn more about how you solved this problem. Your solution sounds very well thought out. You can find me on this discord: https://wundergraph.com/discord
OK so Gmail is a perfect example then. Let's imagine a scenario where PWAs were fully possible on iOS and the user has a choice of a native iOS Gmail app or a PWA webview app. Do you not think that a native app would offer a better user experience and that 9/10 of users would prefer it?

> ...endless annotations, dependency injection magic, all sorts of pseudo-types

This sounds like what happens when a bunch of Java/C# developers jump over to python without learning the "python way" - this is more related to the developers than the project

> But nowadays, I don't think modern Python fits any use case real well

Python has effectively taken over the data science / machine learning space. For most use cases, the algorithms are massively more important than the language.

> poorly managed ecosystem and hodge-podge of tools like virtualenv, pyenv, poetry, etc. that never quite become standardized and

This is true, but Java and C# also have many issues in this respect. The move from Java 8->11 is particularly painful - many fundamental libraries related to security or connection handling were not backwards compatible. Many libraries now require multiple branches for different JDK levels. Maven and Nuget are about as good as pip - they all have weird edge cases.

I use both Java and Python on a daily basis - each has their strengths and weaknesses. Java is great if need long running processes with weeks/months of uptime, Python is great for backend data manipulation and analysis.
