Yes. The linux market is extremely diverse. The sheer amount of distros and DEs is pretty good evidence of this. It doesn't even have to be different people.

For personal laptops/desktop I don't care if it's preinstalled for me or not since the very first boot is going straight into my usb installer since it's extremely unlikely that they checked all the boxes I will check (especially getting my LUKS passphrase correct!!). But for my wife or parent's laptop that's exactly what I want. If dad runs linux I can help him out a ton more, even SSHing into his machine to set things up or install updates, etc, but I'd prefer he be able to turn the thing on and connect it to his wifi and start using it without me having to be there.
Those are some pretty narrow examples.
Some automatics don't really give you much control over what gear you're in. I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey with a PRNDL button. With L, you can drive in first gear up to red line (not sure of the speed). There is a D3 button that will downshift to 3rd gear if the shifter is in the D position. You can downshift to 2nd if you move the shifter to the L position when going less than 60 mph, but that's not obvious. The car will also downshift to 1st if your speed drops below 30 mph and won't upshift to 2nd even if the speed goes above 30 mph (meaning I have to shift it back to D and then back to L if I want to keep it in 2nd). 3rd gear doesn't really provide much in terms of engine braking when going less than 50 mph

>Google News has gotten increasingly annoying though, forcing me harder toward the "personalized" results,

I noticed same. While there is some relevance to personalized news they may or may not reflect what I am looking for at this point in time.
Hence, I found that showing both (most noteworthy and most personal) actually helps me read the news better.

I'm really happy to see that many people from many places on the political landscape see "debanking" as a line that should not be crossed.

A great point I overheard recently was that this precedent is likely to be used in Canada against indigenous peoples protesting resource extraction and other incursions onto their land. Now a blockade can be a "terrorist act," etc., and their finances can be frozen among other things. This power is not just going to be used against some wacky antivax truckers this one time and then forgotten about.

I dislike the term "financial deplatforming" quite a bit as it minimizes the severity of freezing someone's assets. This isn't like being kicked off a media platform. Having your assets frozen doesn't just deprive you of your livelihood but also prevents you from defending yourself since lawyers cost money. It's one step short of imprisonment.

It's also being done by the government. Get kicked off a private platform by the owners and you can just go elsewhere. That's not the case if the government is seizing your assets and also says its illegal for anyone else to do business with you.
Nope. Not even a little bit close. The world gets better for everyone every day. What you and many others dislike is that it gets better at different rates - sometimes vastly different - for different people.

Watch out for that envy, it's a mighty dangerous thing. The only one of the 7 deadly sins that isn't any fun.
I have to give Bethesda credit for "The Lusty Argonian Maid" (https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lusty_Argonian_Maid...), which always gives me a laugh when I stumble upon it in a bandit cave. There are some genuinely good short stories in books scattered about the game, too.
What happens when psychiatric symptoms are indistinguishable from 'normal' poor performance?
I just got a Dell Precision 5560. I’m running FreeBSD on it, but based on hardware Linux should run well.

It’s pretty powerful so far (comparable to my 2019 i9 mbp roughly but I haven’t measured).

I’m not sure what battery life will be like. I haven’t finished tuning my installation so I can’t really measure reliably. Overall the hardware is really solid though.
I agree in principle and I am against the disappearance of cash, but the convenience is also a factor and I end up never using cash. I think a cashless society wil happen in any case. With covid many shops didn't accept cash, I don't know how people who got locked out of the banking system dealt with that.
The outbreak came from Pakistan.
Yes it's the dedicated PS5 release. You need to uninstall the PS4 version from your PS5 and download the new PS5 version. Updating won't work, you'll still have the PS4 version.
Satoshi called it digital cash actually for a reason, not cashlessness. It has similar properties to physical cash, as the ownership can't be taken away trivially.

The problem is that people are still waking up slowly. For me the Cyprus bail-in in 2013 was the wake-up call that I need full ownership of my assets.
Bitcoin is useless to the vast majority of people as a cash substitute. If you want people to use your decentralized currency it needs to be an actual currency, which means 1. easy to transfer and 2. predictable store of value. Without monetary policy bitcoin will never accomplish 2. They're a very long way off from 1 too.
100% agree with everything you said
I don't understand.

If 20,000 people (made up number) die in a year from human error, and that is worthy of concern, isn't it worse if 20,012 die?
Can you pay taxes in cash? I don't think it's possible in my country.
> Cashless is easier and more convenient, it's hard to beat that.

Unfortunately you are probably right. The history of computing clearly shows that convenience beats absolutely everything including privacy, security, and autonomy. The most convenient option almost always wins regardless of any other factors.
This is the dedicated PS5 release. As for why - it's because the PS4 can't run all the features in this patch.
Someone - not the architects - made a lot of money on this for very little.

Which presumably was always the point of the project.

The fact that something was built at all makes it unusual compared to the Garden Bridge, the Bridge to Ireland, the Estuary Airport, and the rest.

M. E. Sarotte wrote a whole book on it.

I haven't finished reading the whole thing, but it starts with the fall of the Berlin wall, and reunification, where US and Germany figured that it was possible to have their cake and eat it - Soviet troops out of East Germany, NATO being allowed to stay, Warsaw pact falling apart, and NATO enlarging as a military alliance instead of pan-european (Atlantic to Urals) security arrangement. Russia was at its very weakest, and not in the position to object much; plus missteps by Gorbachev and Yeltsin contributed to enlargement.

You've got Yeltsin wanting Russia to join NATO, back when US enjoyed quite a bit of good will, only for them to slowly realize that plans like Partnership for Peace is meant to enlarge NATO; the US is not going to let Russia join NATO, despite some wishful-thinkng; NATO membership being dangled in front of Ukraine to encourage them to return the soviet era nukes back to Russia or have them destroyed; NATO's enlargement policies is basically neo-containment of Russia at the get-go...

I'm sure it's only going to get more colourful as the book goes on.

In any case, it's rather disingenuous for US and NATO to dangle membership to Ukraine. They know even in the 80s and 90s that Russia would strongly object to a military alliance that has Article 5 in it, not to mention a NATO member state would generally be required to have foreign troops and weapons (among other things nukes) on their soil. At the end of the day, US is probably not going to risk nuclear war over this, but at the same time, it just keeps using Ukraine to try and stick it to Russia. Regardless of what Ukraine's wishes actually are (and it's more diverse than the media generally likes to portray), realistically it's not something that Ukraine has the only say in the matter - US will continue to find any which way to further is neo-containment aims; Russia would continue to oppose that.
In the Netherlands it's not terribly uncommon. It used to be more the other direction in the UK but it has become more common to be card only here as well.

I'm not really sure where class comes into accepted forms of payment? But I'm also not sure what class you're talking about.
Along the idea of streamlining and reducing the mental overhead of actually playing a game - it's great to have my entire library in one place. I refused to use any of the other launchers because I don't want to have to hunt down accounts in 5 years when I get a taste for nostalgia from a game that I don't own on Steam.

Untitled Goose Game got me back into piracy after 15 years of abstinence because of the anti-Steam launch. I would have gladly paid were it on Steam.
Incentives are aligned! that's great!
"the classical liberal position, which is not Libertarian, and never has been."

? The 'classical liberal' position is literally the foundation of 'Libertarianism', which is a specifically modern American concept.

Clearly the answer is not "none", it's "almost everyone".

The first Swift build tools beta was downloaded ELEVEN MILLION TIMES in the first month alone. I would be surprised if that is not some kind of record. And it was the most loved language on SO already in 2016.

We're talking about a language powering the favourite devices of the richest 20% of the world population, a language that is extremely actively supported by the richest company on the planet. I think any reasonable person would conclude that it "has a future".
Exactly correct.

Anyone who is applauding this, just imagine the opposite political party in power using this against you or organizations you support. This is why no one should have been happy when executive orders became the norm in the US and congress did nothing. This is how you lose a senate and gain a Caesar, and look what happen to Rome eventually…

Debanking someone who can now no longer pay for thier own defense is crazy overreach. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
If government allows for cashless society without safeguards it is criminal negligence. Any serious outage and we are crippled.
That's potentially interesting: legal tender means it must be accepted to settle certain debts and contractual obligations, but it doesn't mean you must accept it for transactions.

Something like EZ pass seems potentially gray area; can they just say "well don't use these roads if you don't like the payment terms" ?

I suspect you are right that with a state agency they probably have to provide some way for you to settle a debt (plus possible penalties) in cash, but they don't have to make it convenient.
Tell us more about how those pairing sessions go.

Does whoever is driving, narrate their work? Ask questions? How about the observer? Do they ask anything, respond to questions? Do they make unsolicited comments? If feedback or other input is given by the observer, does it get incorporated? If suggestions are dismissed, is there an explanation? Do the driver and observer switch roles during a session? During a day?

Etc.
A very enlightening read -- I certainly didn't expect the tangential connection to the separatist crisis in eastern Ukraine.

More on topic; is anyone aware of any attempt to employ Ithkuil's grammar as an intermediary for lossless translation between natural languages? It occurred to me that translation of languages with poor interoperability would benefit from an intermediate representation that is capable of preserving the nuances of both. The idea being that you would only ever need to build a model for translation between {SomeLanguage} <=> Ithkuil, and this would allow for precise (albeit probably verbose) translation between any two languages.

Or is this more or less how automated translation works already?
You don’t have to remove co2 permanently to be useful, for instance, each individual tree may eventually become gas again, but if you double the size of the forest, you’ve doubled the amount of gas not currently in the atmosphere. As long as that forest exists, that carbon is captured, even as individual trees get swapped out for their gaseous counterpart.
Also as noted in the article, things like electricity, internet and other utility cannot be paid in cash either here.
We don't have limited rights. You need to work on understanding that rights are not granted. Rights are inherent. Enumeration of rights is only to emphasize the importance
The surveillance and lockouts bitcoin allows makes even the most Authoritarian government blush.
Lost in the sense of look around how people are spending their money. I'm very happy for that law, and hope common sense will prevail and cash will be around for a long time. But you can't deny that vast majority of money transactions in the modern world is cashless. Hence my point that the battle is lost - if you take away average person's right of using their credit cards or bank accounts, how are they supposed to pay their bills or buy food?
Right but it will be allowed again like next week. After a three week occupation, clearing things out for a few days seems pretty sane.
For analytics sometimes SQL is not the best query language. In many practical scenarios analytic queries require looking at most rows of a dataset, but only at a few columns.

This is what OLAP-like engines are built for.

When you have these types of queries, the relational model ends up degenerating in a star schema with queries issuing a join for each data column on the first projection, and then a pass on that projection for aggregation, typically working on a time range that's relatively recent.

For these, native columnar stores are usually a better option. Things like Apache Pinot https://pinot.apache.org/ might be a better fit.

If you add a real-time requirement, it gets even more challenging, going into the realm of custom built query engines, such as those that back products as those built by Medallia or other customer experience companies.

It's a really interesting niche.
It might not be. It maybe a workflow thing and a poor choice of words on my end.

I have a few apps running on my workstation that I run in Podman pods that have similar service deps (PostgreSQL and MQTT etc). I don't have to worry about making sure my apps are pointed at some random ports for their services and I don't have to deal with changing the ports per service in my application stack. I can just launch them in a pod and get some nice isolation in the pod's network namespace and use the defaults. I think it is a nice pattern to use for local development. I hope that clears things up.
How much of that is completely self-imposed with out of control immigration quotas and a lax policy around foreign money laundering?

I wonder which party is supporting these measures and why.
I agree, there's plenty of terrible news. TV news is just the most common that also has an outsized effect on voters.
> How is it lost? Jurisdictions like New Jersey, Rhode Island, San Francisco and Philadelphia have legislated that businesses must accept cash.

It's lost because they’re mostly legislating that “storefront” businesses must accept cash when both having storefronts and accepting cash are things businesses are less interested in. So, what they have actually done is accelerate the death of storefronts rather than assure that cash is usable.
In Australia, covid basically kicked it off. Now several regular businesses have stopped taking cash. Not high end rich people stores. Places like IKEA and chain restaurants.
Sending a check in the mail is not the same as having a digital currency. You can add cash to the bank account and write the check.

Sorry the 13 trillion number was from the total power output of the sun (10^26 W).

The Earth receives 340 W / m^2 on average (not accounting for albedo) [1]. The surface area of the Earth is 510 trillion m^2. Humans release 160,000 TWh / year (18.5 TW) [2]. That means the input power from the sun is 9350x what humans release into the atmosphere. If wind and solar play a larger role in the energy mix then the picture looks even better. I can't see how humans could increase power consumption by multiple orders of magnitude without solving so many other (more difficult) problems. Even if we did, playing games with albedo and/or orbital sunshades are on the table with the comparatively meager means we have today. Any future society using that much power surely could address these issues with ease.

Also, expecting constant growth for the next 275 years isn't really a good projection of current trends. We're already seeing negative 2nd derivatives in energy production and population. There is nowhere left to expand in to. The world has become very small very fast.

And yet he is depending on Twitter to tell his story, apparently learning nothing.
In the state I live in, there are very, very few statewide law enforcement agencies. By far the largest is the state highway patrol.

State highway patrol officers are the “go to” cops for statewide officials.
"Generic," maybe, but in practice many people learn C++ as one of, as it were, two languages - one for application code developers and the other, for those who build libraries and provide APIs.
That article is very interesting! Looks like a similar approach to: https://sysdig.com/blog/hiding-linux-processes-for-fun-and-p...

I wouldn't feel bad about it. The article provides info for security experts about a potential attack vector that exists. That doesn't change if you unpublish the post.

Keep it up!
I believe that was covered, but it was under the context of security policy vs a more direct description. The key point I'd pull out is: "The goal isn't to eliminate risk entirely, but bring it down to an acceptable level."

There could be (and probably are) entire books written about how to define what "an acceptable level" means... but that is the same point you are getting at - security is not a guaranteed lockdown of your assets, it is self-defined sufficient deterrence to attack. Sometimes that means light security, sometime that means heavy... but it is up to you to make those decisions.
US Postal Service money orders can be purchased with cash and used the same way as a certified check. This works for utility payments. Mobile phone companies take cash as payments, in both their dedicated retail stores and a large network of affiliated airtime merchants. In some countries, there's a mini-economy for the trade of airtime minutes within cellphone networks, based on physical stores that can convert cash->minutes. M-Pesa was one of the earlier success stories, unifying payments and digital identity, but it was anchored in real-world ingress points for cash.

Cash & digital can be complementary.
Yeah the ANE and AMX on cpu are wrapped behind Accelerate Framework and CoreML. So you will have to use CoreML (which wasn't able to compile the latest TF BERT). ANE is also inference only. So if you want training you will have to use the GPU with Apple's Tensorflow-Metal.

First of all, as a prolife Christian I am glad to hear that in "post Christian" Europe (specifically Spain) there still exists a group that is campaigning for the rights of the unborn. Ironically, the percentage of prolifers is probably much higher in Kenya than it is in Spain.

But "disinformation"? Maybe. I think the word propaganda is a bit closer to the truth. Something does not become disinformation because you disagree with it, or because it expresses an opinion you don't share.
So the sheriff is part of the state highway patrol. Interesting. Not how things are done in many places.
Your whataboutism is astounding. I, of course, 100% agree with your anger about the American subversion of the American vaccine programs.

There are massive assumptions built into your thesis including, the reported cases reflecting the actual outstanding cases, and the primacy of international politics driving vaccination decisions.

Covid has obviously dramatically affected global vaccination priorities.

You learn different things at startups vs FAANG.

A startup probably won't be able to afford the standard of engineering that you can find at places like Google. There are good practices you can learn there that you probably won't see at a startup.

As a company scales up, coordinating effort across teams becomes more important for getting stuff done, even as a senior IC. You no longer know the whole stack (assuming you're an early employee) and have to ask other teams to adapt interfaces and add functionality to get your stuff to work.

However, that's the default at FAANG. Coordination is the name of the game and it's so meeting heavy because it's a lot of work to keep everyone aligned, on the same page.

You can learn interesting technical things either way, but it's easier to find a niche as a specialist at a large company. Startups usually need generalists in the early days.

I spent eight years at a startup (4th engineer, rose to chief architect after CTO left, was most senior engineer of 40 or so in co) and joined Google last March.

I learned a lot when I joined the startup (Rails was new to me) and I added some hard yards of scaling up database utilisation with very little extra hardware over the years, but the pace of learning declined over time and my degree of specialization increased as I focused on the biggest bottleneck the business had, technically - even while the business was of course more interested in fattening up its product line for valuation.

I learned a huge amount when I joined Google too, though a lot of that is due to the parallel universe quality of working at a company that had to solve many scaling problems for the first time and did so with inhouse tech which didn't become industry standard (I blame monorepo - it makes it too easy to have incestuous dependencies). A bigger part of the learning was the mode of getting things done between teams. I haven't learned much in terms of transferrable tech, but I have seen better engineering practices put into action, that we could not afford - and didn't have strong enough singular opinions on - at the startup.

I can say it's not the same things every day, everywhere. There is no end to the code at Google, there is more than you can ever hope to understand and it changes too fast anyway. At a startup, you can understand almost everything. More work is political at largeco, necessarily because the org tree sometimes needs shaking to get things moving, but also simply sociologically - a startup is a small team, largeco is a whole nation with internal rivalries and whole divisions that never need to communicate much.
