When you say:

> it's as solved as it can really be as far as human understanding is concerned

You handwave away several interesting parts of the problem without providing real justification for why that would be necessary or acceptable.

It's like saying "politicians are made up of atoms, and since we know how atoms interact, our understanding of politics is reasonably complete".
I'm not sure what you're talking about with the BLM stuff. You would support them privately but not publicly?

> Black girl programmers should not be black girl programmers, they should be programmers. And they most certainly won't face discrimination because of that.

This is a perfect demonstration of the "head in the sand" position that leads to conservatism that I was talking about. The whole point of "black girls code" is that black girls have less opportunity to get into programming, which is a form of systemic racism given that programming is a lucrative career. It's not an identity thing, it's an access thing - it's an outreach program.

It's also absurd to claim that black women never face discrimination in the workplace.

You seem to be starting from a belief that equal opportunity and discrimination based on race are solved problems and then putting yourself in opposition to programs that try to alleviate these problems (which actually do still exist).
Forgive my naivety, but if one person wants to continue working on a FOSS codebase and the other wants to leave, can't the former just let them keep their worthless stake as the company goes out of business, start a new company, rehire the same staff, and resume work?

As I hinted in my previous comment, power users of Windows, don't use apps bundled with Windows! :D

You can download a calculator that is designed to your preferences. I actually wrote a calculator in Autohotkey that was a keylogger constantly checking if last typed characters can be interpreted as a mathematical expression - if so, the expression was evaluated and displayed as a tooltip, and pressing a shortcut could be pressed to paste an equal sign and that evaluated value. Never finished it though, demotivated by how hard it was to port to other OSes.

To those perplexed by the behaviour of Java's Hello World, as Java is otherwise very careful with error handling, this is because System.out is a java.io.PrintStream, and that's its documented behaviour:[1]

> Unlike other output streams, a PrintStream never throws an IOException; instead, exceptional situations merely set an internal flag that can be tested via the checkError method.

So the correct Hello World would be:

System.out.println("Hello World!");
if (System.out.checkError()) throw new IOException();

While the behaviour of PrintStream cannot be changed (it goes back to Java 1.0, and I'm guessing that the intention was not to require handling exceptions when writing messages to the standard output), adding a method to obtain the underlying, unwrapped OutputStream might be an idea worth considering, as it would allow writing to the standard output just like to any file.

Thanks for the clarification. In my previous comments, I assumed that everyone should have the right to organize a referendum and show a clear will for the independence, but didn't write the assumption down. And the examples are a bit unrealistic.

> I think you know this though, and that you’re engaging in what’s known as “sealioning” :-)

I learned a new word today. Thanks, although I don't think I'm engaged in it, since I idealistically think that everyone, with the accent to everyone, should have a right of association and disassociation with willing partners, and that our current state system is not the healthiest way of governing humans.
I don’t think you’d get a trademark for that name…

Is anybody here using pipewire to stream to a different machine on the same network?

I currently use Pulseaudio to send audio from my laptop to a raspberry (with a DAC hat) connected to my hifi, but it turns out it's a pretty niche use case.
So I'm looking for anybody with a similar use case who has upgraded from PA to PW and can talk about the experience.
Haha have passed the TUI feedback to our designer ;)

We're going to start with iOS, and then move to more platforms. Thank you for your kind words!
RC4 works fine. The only "problem" is its large state (2048) compared to the common LCG and Xorshift PRNGs which typically have anywhere between 32 and 256 bits of state.

Sqlite3 uses RC4 for its random functions.

Reports? There's video all over the internet. Yesterday I saw a video of a solitary civilian car being lit up by machine gun fire before taking a couple shells. I'm told there were accompanying photos of a dead couple in their 80s, which I didn't look at because I want to sleep at night.

Not an expert. But this is tiny amount of money. So probably a formality. I know individuals who raised more for Ukraine from their friends.

Also Red Cross seems to be dead. Many people on the ground said that in the past 8 years in Ukraine it did nothing.

Will need more research but it seems to be highly ineffective organization that spends a lot of money and doesn’t produce much.

So sending this amount of money is basically nothing and looks like PR move.
It depends on the ecosystem (especially for tools without GUIs, I've found it usually is just two lines at the terminal: one to install the build tool for a given ecosystem and then the other to run it), but sure there are plenty of open source projects which are difficult to build from scratch. However, for most of them this is an acknowledged shortcoming that they try to fix when given the time and resources. It might be a much different world if there was a financial incentive to magnify that shortcoming.

Pretty God damn impressive. I have a MacBook Air w/ the M1 and 16GB and it's more computer than I need for my work flows. Work gave me a MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max w/ a 10-Core CPU, 32-Core GPU, 64GB Unified Memory... it is a monster.

Thanks for flagging, have shared the feedback with the team.
I am struggling to think of any open source project of any size beyond small NPM packages that I've experienced that do not have an arcane build system. At least all of the ones I've encountered have been incredibly obtuse, to the point that I've mostly just given up. Anything Mozilla, Google, or Facebook writes. Actually, come to think of it, the only open source projects of non-trivial size I've ever been able to build without dedicating several weeks of time to have been from Microsoft.

Definitely a corridor we are looking at. INR has some interesting characteristics due to capital controls that we'll need to find a reasonable way to play nicely with. Due to these capital controls, Banks appear to also have a cartel on currency conversion...
This only works well if the parties have equal access to that kind of cash. Otherwise you might get into a situation where the richer founder can just decide to buy the other founder out at a price which is unfair but still beyond their cash means.
Yeah, having a bunch of extra time is helpful, but running out of money can be very motivating.

Why? Let's say I have a full time job that covers all my expenses. I work on my side project after work, some weekends. But will I focus on making money if I don't need it to live? I continue adding some features, tweaking css here and there, postponing marketing etc, because where's the hurry?

But when I see that I have a personal runway of, let's say, 6 months, then I focus on making money almost every day. Because I know that when I have 3 months left, I have to start applying for jobs.

And this is why I call this "a felt urgency of running out of money." It's something that you feel deeply in your experience: I have to make money with my startup, or I have to go to work, and then I don't have that much time to focus on my startup and it fails.

Actually, this is maybe on of the TOP reasons why so many side projects are not going anywhere. You work on something on your evenings/weekends and you don't focus on making money, because you actually don't need the money to live right now (your salary covers your life).

Running of out money is a reason why I think some of these startups (like HostiFi and Bannerbear I mentioned in the blog post) succeed. Yongook's Bannerbear is a great example – he had many projects before that, but he had money to live and he knew that at one point he can get a job when he wants to. But then COVID happened and many companies went on a hiring freeze and the world looked uncertain. He says this himself very nicely:
"I think that mental switch was important. Getting a job was no longer an option, it was Bannerbear or bust."

But it's true that when we don't have to put ourselves into this position or wait when that happens to succeed. I think just to realize this is important.
It’s not, but presumably all substitution products would see a similar tax, so you’re just shifting the supply curve up across the board.

It really comes down to the market dynamics for that particular product and its competitors.
I am a European. But one of the rare ones who thinks for himself and doesn't just lap up whatever kool-aid drips from the American teat.

Your remark that Europe shouldn't deal with Russia because they are "criminal" just serves to reinforce my statement about people's play school view of global events as "goodies vs. baddies" [where, needless to say, we're always the "goodies"!]

All governments are self-serving criminals and liars. And the west is quite happy to snuggle up to the most odious regimes, as long as they're on 'our side'. So please spare me the "freedom and democracy" bullshit. Ask the people of Afghanistan and Iraq [plus countless others] how having freedom and democracy imposed on them worked out.

I'm making a wild assumption that, if you're a European, you're from Eastern Europe. The various nations from that part of the continent seem to be involved in a nauseatingly sycophantic contest to see who can lick the US's arse the most passionately, whether that be by allowing the Yanks to use your country as a military base, or by screeching the loudest in the '2 Minutes Hate' against Russia.

Its pathetic how Europe endlessly sabotages is own economic and political future for the benefit of the US. With a bit of reaching out the hand of friendship towards Russia [or before that, the USSR] Europe could have had easy access to that massive Russian market and those bountiful Russian natural resources, as well as not feeling the need to be occupied by the US military. Instead, we treated Russia as 'The Enemy' both before and after the demise of the USSR and effectively crippled Europe financially and resources-wise and kept it tied to the US's apron strings for the foreseeable future.

The golden rule with all such events [global and local] is to ask yourself "Qui Bono?"

The US has been looking to sabotage any rapprochenent between Europe and Russia since the Berlin wall came down. Look at NordStream 2 --which would have brought boundless cheap Russian gas to Europe. The US has been opposed to that since the outset. And, in the usual US fashion, they don't just express their disapproval and move on. They've been bullying to get their way, by sanctioning companies involved in it. Like it is any of the US's fucking business. Any more than Europe would have any business telling the US it wasn't allowed to buy oil or gas from Canada.

Well, the US got its wish there didn't it? NordStream 2 has obediently been cancelled by lickspittle Germany and the next stage is to persuade Europe to stop purchasing the oil and gas it already buys from Russia. And, when this happens, I wonder who will be there; riding in on a white charger in a white stetson, to make up the shortfall, when Europe can't meet its own energy needs? Who else but our hero Uncle Sam! --saving the day as usual, and selling us all the oil and gas we need.

Oh, and while we're at it, we'd better buy a few more billion dollars worth of US military hardware and station a few thousand more American troops in Europe, to protect us from those nasty Russkis!

Qui Bono, folks? Qui Bono?

Thank you! So is pipewire a replacement/superset of gstreamer? Or is it supposed to be a higher-level component (more user facing than gstreamer). Alternatively, is Pipewire about connecting audio devices (instruments, speakers) to software on the computer?
Habit is a strong force, and not everyone is reading display-names all the time. Especially on twitter I usually naviagate by the profile-picture, not the names, because people change their display-names all the time, making them unreliable.
Looks good but:

1. Needs comparisons against other players by size (as others on this thread are having to work out)

2. It seems better for larger size but that's where the user will start to question the service and trust comes into play i.e. do I trust it enough to warrant the saving of X. I think you need to work on this point via messaging in the design and site in general. For me I would stick with Wise for now.
Russia surprised China with its invasion timing & planning, in particular the mismanagement that turned this from a regional thing into a major international incident, which is now causing a lot of embarrassment due to their mutual cooperation. They don't want to discard friendship with Russia over this, but at the same time it looks bad all around, right at the time when China is pushing hard to become the new moral, economic, and cultural center of the world.

China isn't going to assist Ukraine directly, of course, nor is it going to push hard to back Russia. But backchannel humanitarian aid always looks good, and can't be criticised. Plus it helps to drive the point home that Putin has embarrassed them and they don't like that.
Two things:

1) The people who own a publicly-traded company no longer own the social consequences of what that company does. Neither do the people who run that company. Neither do the people who actually control it.

2) The people who actually control a publicly-traded company, the board and large institutional investors, really representatives of investing as an institution, have one incentive structure, the stock price, which is driven by a balance sheet, which cares not a whit for your social consequences.

Say what you will about the bourgeois capitalism of Ford and Carnegie, they were men who invested in their country and their communities, and in their workers as well. Their ruthlessness was the ruthlessness of the powerful, but the managerial capitalism which replaced it carries the ruthlessness of the inhuman.
In the game Horizon: Zero Dawn (and now Horizon: Forbidden West) the main character Aloy uses a device called a Focus that let's her visualize - usually via a virtual heads-up-display - data about the world around her (things like detecting and tracking nearby objects, or reading data from and interacting with devices).

I don't think it's really a comparable to a voice assistant. It's more "Google Glass" than "Google Assistant".
To label the practice of speechwriting as 'fake' is deeply misguided. Is the contract you signed 'fake' because you didn't write it? Do you believe politicians should be judged primarily on their writing skills?

A politician choses their speechwriters, works with them, and takes ultimate responsibility. The process just happens to be exactly the same as it for all other tasks they do. I would argue a demonstrated ability to choose good people and judge their work is so essential for high government office, the process involving speechwriters is a far better measure of their suitability for office.

Speechwriters, at least good ones, also don't write 'generic' texts. They will study their client's speech patterns and adjust word choices, rhythm, humor, and other patterns to fit the person's style. For offices as high as the US president, the writers tend not to change, sometimes over decades.

See the chart at the top of https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/01/the-lan... for word choices in the State of the Union. There are clear difference between and consistencies within each presidents' speeches.

Ah 1999… my first company made more than we knew what to do with so we had the latest and the greatest all the time. Almost everything ran Linux; we had one NT machine to migrate a company ‘s telco backend off Windows (which gave them a lot of downtime and for them that was literally losing money every missed minute) to AIX (which ran remotely).
Agreed, the log file example is quite good, but also something like a systemd script reporting success when it actually failed.
I had a ThinkPad 380ED I think.

I remember it had a 3GB hard drive, and I'm pretty sure it had both a floppy disk drive and a CD drive -- in a laptop! 166MHz CPU, probably 16MB RAM or something hilarious like that.

And it was just this delightful black block, no curves, no ridges or go faster stripes, it was just this smooth black cuboid. It always felt like it was rugged enough to survive a natural disaster, and yet it had this sublime keyboard and a nice screen for the time.

I loved that laptop very much.

I miss Windows 98 actually, sure it was bad, but the way it looked and felt was just terrific. No nonsense, and yet it had character. It's like someone was saying yesterday about Windows 2000 being the peak, I think they're right. It was robust and simple, it was easy on the eyes, and it wasn't heavy on resources, it was just a decent Windows OS.

XP and 7 are both hailed as good Windows OSs too, but I found myself changing both to look like Windows 2000, always switching off all the themes etc. Sure wish Windows 10/11 still had classic theme (yes, I know you can download a third-party app to bring it back, not the point though is it)

You'd still use a 5k display in a non-native 4k resolution (surely the xbox doesn't support higher resolutions?), which might be ok for video and most games, but it's not a good solution. I'd just get a half decent, affrodable 27" / 4k display for gaming and keep the Studio display for actual work.

Plus, you can use the additional 4k display as an extended macOS display when not gaming. I mean there's never enough screen real estate.
IIRC EnterpriseDB mainly makes it money from paid hosting and I think Hashicorp makes its money from a combo of paid hosting and open core (i.e. it has other proprietary tools and add-ons). SUSE is a good example, but I'm not as sure about Canonical. Wasn't it the case that Canonical is actually operating at a loss and has been for a while? Maybe that's changed?
> have plausible deniability with their Russian allies perhaps

Russia is China's biggest permanent enemy, with its size and ambitions, together with the fact that it is the only foreign country that still occupy lands traditionally owned by China, you'd need a bullet in the brain to believe that Russia is China's ally. It is the single largest threat to China's security & future stability.

Seeing the poor performance of Russia troops in the last two weeks offered huge comfort to many Chinese like myself - a weak Russia & an incapable Russian armed forces is a solid foundation of the peace of our generation.
If the world demonstrates that possession of nuclear weapons is sufficient to ensure safety even while committing indefensible wars of conquest and aggression, then WW3 becomes more likely, not less. Our response to unacceptable behavior by nation-states should be swift and painful.
