Happy to hear about it. It was an intolerable show of hubris, marketing babble and general pretentiousness.
Practical applications are circumstantial.

Do you have a way of utilising or storing electricity/heat? If so, either are more efficient than not doing so. For example, if it's cold where you live and the heating is usually running... just expelling the heat from your fridge into the house is efficient. If you are cooling, it's not. Electricity would be better... or at least piping the heat out.

i have TPM 2.0 disabled in BIOS, which blocks Windows 11, sounds like permanently. still will have to deal with occasional Windows 10 "feature" update shenanigans, but far fewer hopefully once 11 is widely-deployed.

still use Manjaro/XFCE as my daily & for dev but dual boot win10 for some tools like Affinity Photo/Designer and gaming.

good thing I’m using a Mac, probably won’t go back in the future, been using windows until I was 18 because I wasn’t able to afford one, but every since I started using it, I can’t go back. i stayed for peace of mind, stayed for good UX, stayed for the trackpad which I been using every day for the past four years, and I have barely used a mouse ever since.

though, I’m a big fan of Xbox

I started running at lunch time while working from home to get out the house and started doing longer and longer distances… I ended up running a marathon last year.

Another aspect is that I did 75 Hard last year, which is a life/game changer!
What are the channel names? I've been looking for some quality YouTube videos. Thanks!
Well, ... you get used to it.

You also get used to the people who are "responsible for the desktop systems" resetting your settings with windows updates or group policy updates breaking web stuff, the outright blocking of websockets ... shall i continue ?

Ah, the best one. You also get used to the always-on-vpn not always working.

They are a troubled bunch running a desktop system you can not safely control.
cool idea, i could build it, but i cant sell it :D

Why would WASM be more cost efficient than native code (~20% more perf efficient than WASM)?
> None of them do.

Well you proved you don’t know the market at all and you’re willing to just make stuff up, so it’s kind of difficult to engage.

Anyone can make an NFT and they can attach any IP rights they want to the NFT, it can be a copyright assignment, it can be a license or it can be none. The market utilizes all the above.

> No, they don't. They receive a hash pointing to a location that may or may not contain that ape, ... and that's it.

There are underlying legal contracts that are enforceable in court that license the copyrighted work to the owners.

For fuck sake owners of Apes have used their commercial license to do everything from make comic books, to make beers, one ape owner even recently signed a partnership deal Adidas for their ape.
This particular problem basically boils down to "CDN providers don't like caching large files", which is a very common problem. Everything else was configured and setup exactly right to not have a large bill.

Most CDN providers have a lot of machines out on the edges of their networks, and it's understandable that they don't stuff these machines with large disks, likely preferring smaller faster SSDs. But this is a very common pitfall of CDNs that needs more attention, along with messaging on the dashboards and settings pages.

I've had problems with no warning on Cloudfront, Cloudflare, Bunny.net all from not realising that my files were beyond the CDN's cache size limit, but none of them seem to do a good job at surfacing this other than "talk to customer support".

Cloudfront does list the max size clearly in the limits and quotas page, though, and if you front your S3 bucket with Cloudfront, you could turn caching off and still get the discounted bandwidth out rates (S3 -> Cloudfront is always free, even if the file is fetched every time).

Same here. Received an update and was asked if I wanted to change default browser settings. I said no and no changes were made.
On most apps they probably affect only the "furniture", the GUI elements around the actual working "client area". So you'd have rounded corners on the title bar at the top and the satus bar at the bottom, and a sharp-cornered area with your acual content inside those.

Oh, nice catch, I actually meant to write heterogeneous.

Probably. There's definitely some low hanging fruit/middle ground though. We desperately need to have ownership of the address itself, so we can transfer to different providers. Either with your own domain, or a domain provided by a truly neutral party, similar to phone numbers.
This could be useful, I may try it out. For anyone who uses this: how much did it improve the system's performance?

> Been there done that.

As a Linux user, I've never done that. Any kinds of obsessions are useless. I'm concentrated on performance and efficiency, and I find Linux environment perfect for my needs, extremely rich and flexible. Someone might say the same about their Windows box - and that's perfectly fine, fortunately everybody is free to use what they want - let's leave OS wars to people who enjoy having this kind of argument.
I have not been able to find anything with sweeteners in it (of any kind) that doesn't taste bad.
I lean towards this idea but it might make non trivially joined queries harder to understand, since it shifts the select to the middle or the end of the query.

So you change:

1. What I want
2. Which tables
3. Which filter
4. What grouping

Putting what you want further down the list might be more confusing rather than less.
It depends what you work on. I have installed popos like 2 years ago. I have 0 issues so far. For web development, nodejs etc. Linux is better than windows by a miles.

Not everybody is graphics designer, video editor who needs Photoshop, Microsoft Excel etc.

And, I haven't found any random problems at least on PC. It might be problematic in laptop, which I honestly don't know.
> That's the issue with Linux desktop users - they are fanatics and obsessed with their 'freedom of choice', by using desktop environments that mimic the same thing they migrated from :)

Microsoft and Apple have invested millions into design so it's not unreasonable that users of FOSS might like some of the design decisions made by those companies. That doesn't make FOSS users "fanatics", that makes them "pragmatic".

> Spending more time on forums defending their 'right choice' that doing actual work

Isn't that literally what you're doing right now?

> and then taking 2-3 hours per week to perfect their desktop with the perfect background and then post it on some Linux community site.

Now you're just being argumentative for the sake of it

> Been there done that. Windows just works. Let's move on.

As posted elsewhere, "just works" will differ depending on the individual and their requirements. Assuming what works for you is universal for everyone is the kind of delusional take that will get you pegged as a fanboy.
Windows + WSL

I've used osx a long time ago and was never satisfied with homebrew. Switched to linux, but I needed excel, so switched to win + wsl. Now I don't really need excel, but the Win+WSL combo just works.

IANAL, but it sounds questionable around anti-trust laws. Certainly not the first time Microsoft have run into problems with their browsers[^1].

Yes. Multiplicity 0 removes the value from the runtime avoiding allocations and garbage collection. That particularly handy for type-level indices and type-level programs in general.

Technically speaking multiplicity 1 (linear variable) can be subject to arbitrary inclining though it's not implemented in the compiler.

I'm working on other multiplicities that could allow you to describe which values are "compile-time" available, and therefore subject to optimisations
"And you better believe it's all done with an approving nod by the Western powers."

Maybe often, but surely not always. The recent coup d'etat in Mali for example was certainly not approved by the west (or went out of hands) as the new government rather shifts to china and russia.
> Because email addresses are practically a requirement to function in society, I think they should be a public service. Everyone should have the right to get an email address controlled by a public service institution which guarantees you that you can move between service providers as you please.

In some countries it has already been for a long time, for example Estonia gives everyone by default an email address that is tied to their national ID and you can forward mail from that address to any provider you want.

Edit: Anybody barely uses it though because usually there is no need. But it's there in case you want to use it.

Tips for Text-based Interviews (2021)
If you want to run Linux on a computer, you do your research and build/buy one where the hardware support is there. Most people don't need "latest" hardware; hardware from 2-3 years ago is fine, and, honestly, most latest hardware works fine too -- again, if you do your research.

Grabbing a random machine and expecting it to work fine (especially if it's a laptop) will often fail, and that's why people spend hours on forums looking for answers.

Long ago I tried to run Linux on Macs. I would always get it to more or less work, but it would take a lot of time and toil. I had the patience for that back then. Now I just buy a Dell XPS 13 and stop worrying about it, because everything works out of the box. It's not my favorite piece of hardware, but it's fine.

I also do wonder where all these critical Windows-only applications are. I spend 90% of my computing time in a browser, terminal window, or text editor/IDE. Certainly some people have Windows-only apps (or games) they can't do without, but the vast majority of users out there don't.
Was the latency noticeable annoying? Or was the robot arm not entirely 'real-time' anyway, so it was not an issue?
Have been fascinated by live AIS data for quite some time (though live too far away from the coast to run an actual receiver).

There's something about a 2D map that doesn't give you a real feel for what's going on out in the channel, so thought that Roblox might be a good way to give you the opportunity to visit without actually being there.

Give it a go and let me know what you think!
> I had ZERO (0) issues with upgrades or downtime.

I too could make coffee or read a book while apt or dnf do their magic, but the truth is I can continue working while they do it, probably because, unlike Windows, they can delete and replace open files while they install, making the update-on-reboot issue on Windows a non-issue on Linux machines.

It's been a while since I had a BSOD on Windows, but I have been forced to restart it quite a few times when something didn't work or stopped working, or the VPN went crazy or some other malfunction. Unscheduled downtime is still very much an issue on workstations and I wouldn't want to look into Windows Server and how it handles this issue.
What’s cholesterol? I have never heard of it… clearly you have just made the word up… going to ignore…

Funny how the best thing to have happened to Windows in the last 10-ish years is gaining the ability to install Linux on top ;)

Also making Python and Angular first class citizens in their dev stacks. Both of which are prominent open-source projects.
Exactly, why would anyone prefer Chrome to Edge? They both are built on the same Chromium core but Google adds a bunch tracking with merging your website logging together with your browser account.
How can $10 per TB not strike you as expensive? You can easily download that much a day on consumer broadband that will cost you far less than $10/day.
One of the points of Gnome is that it has sensible defaults and you just live with them.

Like, you know, a Mac.

BTW, there's something to be said about how sensible Windows defaults are. I'm not really liking the start menu moving to the middle of the dock.
>I'd frequently tell my co-workers, "If you're not paying for it, you're the product." That experience underscored that notion for me.

> Based on this very recent comment, even the creaters of Windows do not:

I made a joke about this after the Windows 11 update introduced the new right click menu, meaning things like 7zip and my file reputation tool where all an additional click away for no apparent reason other than putting bigger spacing and more icons.

That just had to be designed by atleast someone who doesn't power use Windows, and maybe even daily drives a different OS

Eh after skimming it I feel like there's still gotchas with it. Not every account can turn it on and looks like there aren't custom limit.

CMIIW, it'll be my first cloud provider if I can set one.
technically Waste heat from pipes is from insufficiently insulated pipes..

The trade of is between the cost of more efficient insulation and making use of leaking heat due to inadequate insulation.
There is a size where on prem would be much cheaper on paper, but internal red tape for access to internal resources is such that teams are unnecessarily slowed down. For example I once worked at a place where it took several months to get an additional on-prem box to speed up our CI pipeline.
Of course you can also add that amount of red tape to a cloud solution, but in my experience it's easier to get approval for an additional EC2 box.
After initially feeling excited about Edge and Windows11, I moved to Ubuntu over the Christmas break for exactly this reason. It’s insane to me why Microsoft keep doing it, they literally lost me as a Windows, Edge, Office user because of it. All I wanted was my settings to stay the same.

I do all the above on a surface laptop which I love, but I may move hardware as no reason now to use it.

Keyboards and Open-Source
It seems weird that when a company grows beyond one point they start these user hostile practices. Google is another example. When they are small they are more open to innovation than manipulating user into using their product. What goes wrong?
I might have misunderstood both comments, but I have the impression the OP was asking about speed of compilation and you're mostly talking about the performance of the compiled code?
> I used to develop on Linux, but eventually wanted something that "just works" so I switched back to Windows. Much less time spent tinkering and more time spent getting things done, and WSL saves me from having to learn Powershell (even if I only hear good things about it).

I must be the strange one here since WSL is a hardcore nope from me. Mainly because I've gave that setup a chance last year and then after two hours of work I've noticed Windows git or WSL changed all my carriage returns to CLRF and basically broke all scripts and pipelines.
I don't have first hand knowledge but my understanding is large companies have procurement departments and they get over half off sticker price for Azure. My guess is this is why the sticker price needs to be overinflated because people in procurement need to show that they are doing their jobs.

Also it is a major pain point getting anything done with IT operations.

Like the Oracle database server that half the department relies on stops responding on a Friday morning and it takes all day to determine the hard disk is full and fix it. I had never before worked at a company where this happened multiple times.

Or operations saying they were unable to restore a windows server hosting a database server and now everyone has to scramble to update their connection strings because operations somehow cannot use the same domain name for the new machine.
I didn't say it isn't a decent business model.

In the context of pltr, I'm saying it's not similar as Oracle/ibm and comparison is futile.
Technically that wouldn't prevent new INSERTs from happening between the SELECT and the COMMIT (since the locks only get applied to existing rows, they don't prevent new rows that match the condition), although the snippet should at least prevent racing with itself.
If an engineer needs that much time you have a serious technical debt for setup of your software or a inexperienced or inept engineer.
The developer or at least operators need to be able to setup your software for more frequently for testing anyway, if they cannot do that rather quick you got other problems..

I can set up Proxmox VE as hyper visor, some container for each DBs, load balancer in front and some app in about an hour max from scratch, with good testing and some bells and whistles, and here I really do not want to brag or the like, as such operations are not my job to do at all, I only know because I do that occasionally for some tests and for some private infra I just maintain out of interest - so I really want to say, if some operation-dork can do that, the engineer you hired should be able to do it at least as quick.

But yes you're right in the general point, upfront setup and frequent maintenance is naturally something you need to price in. I just think that if you have that many different parts with complex coupling to induce such a huge maintenance effort required to keep your product running, the cloud offer may not really be your salvation and just delay the fall while costing all the more.
That's what people mean by calories, it's not a bug. It even labels it precisely!
The West Bank doesn't have full autonomy and is still considered under occupation. That doesn't give Israel a mandate to rule it as they please and settlements should be condemned rigorously, but Israel does have security interests in that region.

Of course you have different rules for the the occupier and those that are occupied. This fact makes comparisons to South Africa ridiculous in my opinion as the motivation for segregation is entirely different. I would otherwise encourage the perspective that the current situation is untenable, but the solution is to give Palestinians real autonomy. But that can only happen in cooperation with Israel.
Also, a good tool to have is cpulimit.
I am trying to do a 45 mins spinning session with Peloton or Netflix daily. Peloton sessions work great physically. But, I often enjoy the entertainment mix too.

Thank you for your comment, I haven't thought about it from this point of view before. What do you think about simpler datatypes like Vector? This can also be seen as a `List` with the constraint that `Vector n A = (l : List A) * length l = n`.
They taste completely different to me. (Both Diet Coke and Coke Zero.) Admittedly, I haven't tried the apparent new formula you mentioned, though.

I've never had any drink with an artificial sweetener that I've enjoyed the taste of, and I've tried a ton of different ones. I now just choose between sugary drinks or water based on if I want to treat myself or not.

(laptops) I used OSX from 2009 to 2017, Debian from 2018 to 2021 (not my choice) and now back on OSX. Nothing against Debian specifically (and it's still my default production target in a lot of cases), but the lack of good laptop hardware and good software support for the hardware was a real pita. In contrast, the machine I have now is a real pleasure to work on: excellent keyboard and pad, totally quiet (fan-less), excellent energy management, great screen, extremely lightweight.

The usual answer you'll get is that it's not "infrastructure as code", is not highly available, etc... and while that's theoretically true, in practice modern hardware is reliable enough that I'll take the gamble (and the complexity of clouds and their control plane means that you may have more outages than what would be caused by hardware failures).
I have a monthly azure credit of $150 and some reduced pricing simply by having a ms developer subscription. I'm guessing Microsoft MVP's (in general, and Azure MVPs perhaps in particular) have extremely generous azure credits so hopefully he isn't on the line for the full amount here.
