Okay, so Ubuntu had Amazon integration for a while. But Debian didn't. And because Debian didn't, and people didn't like it, Ubuntu took it back out.

How's the outbreak of desktop spying that nobody asked for or wanted going on Windows? When the only way to put pressure on them there is to switch to an entirely different platform, that only works when you actually do it. Otherwise you're stuck with whatever they stick you with.
I'm not associated with this project in any way, but your comment got me curious. It seems that since each message is signed with the private key even if you were able to perform an extension attack (which I agree it seems like you would be able to) you wouldn't be able to sign the message so it should be rejected by the relay. The signature is based on the message ID, which itself is the SHA256 of the rest of the message so by doing an extension you necessarily change the SHA256, which should invalidate the signature.

But I'm an idiot so who knows.
I was in your position a few years ago. You might try emailing startups to take a chance on you (the more bureaucracy, generally the harder it is for people like you who have skills but no credentials). It's much harder as a high schooler so you'll face a lot of rejections and "sorry we really like you but we can't hire you, get in touch next year tho." Especially if you're under 18 and can't sign NDAs. If you have a blog or cool projects then those can help signal competence. And never work for free. Good luck!

P.S. entering industry is cool and exciting but also consider using your senior spring to goof off with your friends and build projects that you want to build. You have the rest of your life to work lmfao

There are approximately 0 actual nurses capable of running critical care beds who are antivaxxers. It’s such a fringe position that’s given far more press coverage than it deserves. Blaming the hospital shortage on the hypothetical vaccine mandates chasing away capable staff is completely without evidence.
I absolutely believe you and agree, there is no downside. My comment was about an existing (in my opinion wrong) perception in popular culture, were many aspirants get their ideas from, that being a good typist is somehow a requirement to being a good coder.

In my late 20s I moved from a relatively uneducated city to one with 5 universities and an intense intellectual culture. I went from being intellectually alone to being super stimulated and connected with people intellectually. So while I appreciate your point of view, sometimes you ARE just living in an intellectual waste land.
Learn how to say no. The easiest way to get overwhelmed and on your way to a bad mental state is to say yes to everything people ask of you. Learn how to say no to people and your life will be so much easier.

Related to that is to learn how not to give a fuck about anything. The trick there is to learn when to turn that ability on and off. Think of fucks as a limited quantity. If you give a fuck about everything, you won’t have enough fucks to give when it really matters. Conserve your fucks jealously.
Such reviews are always misleading, and they hurt Linux the most. No, it’s not all rainbows and roses all the time. LTT Linux Challenge is the best example we have so far: with every frustrating hurdle they encounter, there is always “Yeah, that happens sometimes” response from the Linux community. People want Linux to become mainstream, but so far it is just an alternative to Windows at best. A flawed alternative. It needs to be more. The same way people prefer Spotify over Winamp nowadays. To get there it needs a lot of honest self criticism and patience. We are not there yet, but I believe we will be someday.
Surprised more of these haven't been snatched up yet, some of them are really pretty. Although tough has been registered for five years.
> Well - firstly consider the linux desktop has been touted as a "not yet ready" for 10? maybe 15 years.

Depending on the user, it's been viable for that long, and we've even had non-techie users for a while now without much issue.

> While it was obscure, it wasn't targeted as often by viruses, malware, and the worst thing of all - commercialization.

If malware wasn't an issue with Linux running 90% of the servers on the planet, why would more desktop use matter?

> Same idea as when anything obscure gets too popular. The original occupants (whether they're right or wrong) aren't too keen on seeing the crowds rush in.

Right, but... Does it matter? If I just install, say, Ubuntu on my laptop and use it, what do I care if a billion other people use it too? If anything, driver and software support should improve without costing me anything.
The author specifically points out that he's using it as a shorthand.
I cycle thousands of KM per year. I'm learning spanish. Technology is one part of my life among many others.
Right there with you. I got tired of the constant fight (long holiday weekend? Tough, you still can't fill, enjoy being without your necessary meds! Doctor didn't get around to re-issuing the same script you've had for years? Tough, same deal, etc, etc...) and just plan on taking partial doses on the days I can afford to be less functional so that I've built up a reserve. It sucks, and it's a bigger deal than I think most people know.
Doesn't this also mean you have to actually have a back end for your site? Can't just host an spa on static web hosting on a cdn.

Meditate and chant. Look up SGI Buddhism or lookup Jhanas. Very different but both solid pathways.

You’ll learn more than from any book.

I would never have believed it until I tried. You can’t reason yourself into mental health but you can silence and focus yourself into it.

WRT mental health Buddhism has forgotten more than what western science has figured out.
I don’t know much about Latin grammar, but from what I can tell both facultas (whence faculty) and facilitas (whence facility) were standard noun forms of the Latin word facilis. Both of these nouns come to English from Latin via French, and neither was newly generated in English.

In Latin (and thence English) facultas meant ability, while facilitas meant easiness.

The adjective facilis comes from the verb facio (to make or do; from the same PIE root as the English verb 'do'), and meant something that can be done/made; something easy, ready, or quick; or someone friendly, courteous, or compliant.

This probably changes depending on who you talk to, to me idk if its about wanting every fig. I think its worrying about which fig is the best, and trying to figure out what "best" even means. and curiosity of other figs.

And how much time should you spend on trying to know your self, to pick the best fig.
As it’s been explained to me the biggest benefit is for countries that don’t yet have this infrastructure built.

For countries that do have this built, it’s been explained to me as a cost savings compared with hiring a government contractor to maintain or improve the service. Especially in the context of InfoSec. Not only do these legacy services need to keep being updated because of potential zero-days but also even the expensive contractors (even mega-cap corporations) fuck up InfoSec “relatively” regularly and the cheaper government contractors are only going to be worse on average.

Having the worlds best minds build and test the InfoSec of different crypto solutions seems like it will just be the cheapest option in the long run.
But it is kinda hard to ponder ideas to do on a GPU when you don't know how a GPU works and what it is capable of. You have to learn at least one API to start thinking about what to do on a GPU, otherwise it is like being a non-programmer brainstorming programming ideas.

I would take a different position, like "what do these highly qualified health care workers understand that I don't?"

I’m all ears. On the face of it, getting vaccinated is a no brainer. I’d love to hear a medical reason for healthy individuals not to get vaccinated.

So far I’ve only heard arguments about vaccine mandates infringing on peoples rights, even though they never batted an eyelid at other vaccines. Why is this one a problem?

So far looking at the death rates, cases of severe illness, vaccination is the way to go. So I’d love to hear a compelling argument why you’d avoid it.
You need correct strategy for public health initiative to be effective.
Ugh, that article.

It's interesting but that doesn't make it right. v6 was a good design in our world.
> "One of the most enticing parts of Linux is choice. Even down to the distribution (or distro) you'd prefer to use, be it Ubuntu, Arch, or Manjaro. There's a distro for everyone and even after choosing one, it's possible to customize it to your heart's content."

The blessing and the curse of Linux.

All that selection is not helpful if you just need to get work done.

Which is why most use macOS or Windows.

Infinite flexibility also means infinite time researching and making choices.

Granted, my experience is from 15+ years ago, but I remember wanting to play an MP3 on my new Linux desktop. Most articles explained, with a straight face, that I "just" needed to re-compile my OS to get audio output.

I realized then, that this would not be a productive way to get serious work done day-to-day.

I've been hesitant to go back since.

In my opinion, to get the majority of developers to switch to desktop Linux, it would need to become an OS that most of today's proponents will dislike. It would need to have a dominant desktop distribution -- 60%+ market share of Linux installs -- so that most tutorials, software installations, and configuration options are optimized for it. It would need to eliminate 80% of the choices. It would need to handle 99% of desktop use cases with zero configuration. And finally, any configuration that is needed would need to be simple settings that can be configured via a GUI, with configuration via shell there only for those who want it.

Note: The above numbers are just guesses. But hopefully they illustrate the point.

The average knowledge worker, just needs to get work done. And that tends to trump infinite flexibility and openness.

Until that is done, I fear desktop Linux will remain an OS for OS hobbyists.

I love the idea of switching to Linux, but have a really hard time jumping back into the rabbit hole.
... did you work at my employer?
The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed. Year of the Linux Desktop arrived for me, in earnest, sometime in the mid-nineties. Maybe 2022 will be the year of the Linux desktop for a few more people.

I'm glad no one was hurt. This time.

Willful risk of life, to say nothing of the property damage and the trespass of piling burning refuse on your property (over the property line)...

I would be furious.

I see a number of comments here that basically say, "No harm, no foul". I don't understand this attitude.

There are a number of regulations that can establish the right of a property owner to be liable for risk of harm to another. One instance I can think of is a tree or structure is at legitimate, immediate risk of falling over onto your property. Wildfire ordinances in rural areas -- out here, you need a permit for a burn like that, which could be revoked after an incident like this.

If you have cause to believe that you see an impaired driver, you don't have to wait for them to hit your car. Or run over your dog in the front yard.

This is nuts.
Depends what you're playing from. I don't have a terabyte of storage on my phone and I'd like to store more than just audio books and music. If you've got a desktop with magnetic storage then sure.

I'd also be curious if you can tell the difference between a 128 kbps Opus and a lossless flac file (in a blind test of course, easy way to test yourself: cp a.flac $RANDOM.flac; cp a.opus $RANDOM.opus; play both with cvlc or something, make your guess, then look at the file size to get the result, repeat at least five times). I could see the argument for having a lossless copy somewhere, just in case you get better audio playback equipment in the future, but for a hot copy (especially on a mobile device) I'm not sure flac is beneficial.
> Uh...yeah it is. Even if I didn't have a specific game in mind currently, every PC game targets Windows. Not every game works on Linux. Why would I artificially limit myself, both for existing and future releases?

Because that's what "specific game" means.

There exist far more games than anybody has time to play, even if you limit yourself to the subset that are actually good. If you have time to play 20 games and there are 100 good games each of similar quality and 40 of them run on Linux, who cares about the other 60? You didn't have the time anyway.

It only matters if you need those specific games.

On top of that, many of those games will also run on a game console. Between a Linux PC and a game console, you have to have some pretty specific needs to actually require a Windows PC anymore.

> "Would you like to schedule a get-together again for a conversation date?"

Sounds pretty good - try it! The person you were talking to may feel exactly the same way.

And interesting hobbies? Definitely yes. Try getting into playing an instrument for example. If you like it, it will keep you busy the rest of your life if you want.

> But deeper, what am I working towards? For whom?

If I get to feeling like this, I like to think about my 2 cats. I love having them, they obviously love being around me, because they are within sight most of the time. But what is their purpose for existence? Do we all need a purpose for existence, or is the fact that we do exist good enough? Speaking of pets, that's another great thing to try out. Having something else living with you takes you out of your head.

We are human beings, not human doings. If you feel like doing something, great. If not, just ... be.
No, but it is a full time job.

It's getting much more complicated. Here's an hour long talk on how Unreal Engine 5's Nanite works.[1] This is a huge breakthrough in level of detail theory. Things that used to be O(N) are now O(1). With enough pre-computation, rendering cost does not go up with scene size. See this demo.[2] You can download the demo for Xbox X/S and PlayStation 5, and soon, in source form for PCs. Explore 16 square kilometers of photorealistic city in which you can see a close-up view of anything.

The format of assets in memory for Nanite becomes far more complicated. GPUs need a redesign again; UE5 has to do more of the rendering on the CPUs than they'd like. What they need to do is simple but not well suited to current GPU designs. It's such a huge win this approach will take over, despite that.

New game engines will need to have something comparable. Maybe using the same format. Epic doesn't seem to be making patent claims, and the code for all this is in the Unreal Engine 5 download.

(Basic concept of how this works: A mesh becomes a hierarchy of meshes, allowing zoom in and out of on level of detail. The approach to subdivision is seamless. You divide the mesh into cells of about 20 triangles. Then, each cell is cut by one or two new long edges across the cell. These become the boundaries of a simpler cell with about half as many triangles, but no new vertices. The lower-resolution cell has no more edges than the higher-resolution cell. There's a neat graph theory result on where to cut to make this work. This process can be repeated recursively. So, one big mesh can be rendered at different levels of resolution depending on how close the camera is to each part. The end result is that the number of rendered triangles is determined by the number of pixels on the screen, not the complexity of the model. Hence, O(1)).

Then, all that needs to stream in from the network. That's probably Unreal Engine 6. In UE5, the whole model has be downloaded to local SSD first. Doing it dynamically is going to require precise download scheduling, and edge servers doing partial mesh reduction. Fun problems.

Then the metaverse starts to look like Ready Player One.

from this thread and the far-too-many-hours I've spent on Reddit - obviously these feeling are not uncommon, but the tone in which this stuff is presented always reeks of unearned superiority

like I think its great that people like OP have enjoyment and passion for "intellectual pursuits", but most other people don't. you have an interest, and like most other interests, people aren't going to share your interest because they have their own, different interests. so don't be surprised when you try to pivot the conversation, people don't want to talk about

like it sucks you can't share your interest with those close to you, that's a problem most everyone has, but when it's on the topic of "intellectual pursuits" or whatever
- articles like this it always read as "I'm smart, everyone else is dumb, woe is me"

that may not be what people like OP are intending - but the problem is others just have different passions and priorities than you and are turned off when you want to discuss only what interests you. I'm certain most could have such a conversation with someone like OP, but why would they when their tone smells like "smarter than tho" because they want to talk about esoteric philosophy or abstract ideas at a college party

if one want to get rid of this "loneliness" you either need to find a community of like-minded others (see the internet) or introduce conversation topics in a more mutually interesting manner instead of wishing for others to meet you where you are

I write this as someone who has been on both sides of the conversation

99% of everything a regular person does on a computer is done through a web browser these days, or they might use Zoom, Teams, Slack etc, too. Chromebooks suit regular people's computer needs very well, which is why I say that modern desktop Linux would suit them, too. Linux can provide a very stable and fast base upon which web browsers and Zoom etc can run, like ChromeOS.
I wonder how old the author is. I had a phase like this in my early twenties that grew out of eventually.

It's hard or impossible to know that delta. The amount of complexity that goes into rendering a modern scene is beyond what could be formally specified without putting nation-state level resources and decades of time into it. Even then, you'd have to go through a massive amount of analysis and development to find the most optimal implementation for a particular problem, and it would only be a local optimum, not guaranteeing maximum performance for the entire scene. Lastly, we don't necessarily know the absolutely fastest algorithms for any particular tasks that might be executed in rendering a scene. At best you could use statistical methods to guess at what the delta is compared to a likely optimum based on similarly complex scenes that are recognized as maximally optimized by known techniques (e.g. the demo scene)
Really? So continually asking for more information in the face of overwhelming evidence just to protect the profit of the company you work for is okay?
After upgrading my Linux last time, I've been spending multiple weeks to figure out why hibernation stopped working. I ended up editing pm-hibernate script, inserting debug statements that log stuff to files before the whole system hangs, and rebooting to check what the log files say. The number of computer users who can do the same would be less than 0.1%, to be generous.

I forgot when was the last time I had issues with hibernation in Windows or Mac.

Sorry, 2022 is not going to be the year of Linux Desktop.
I have that Pentium D -3.4GHz CPU somewhere, It thought me important lessons like CPU clocks mean nothing if the architecture is botched up, to be weary about purchasing first generation compute hardware and more importantly not to trust big-name brands blindly.
