I was talking about this a few weeks ago, and a point was made in this article that I was making. We have 3 outcomes here, one, that this thing ends when it ends and there's a new cold war, two that someone launches nukes and it's game over for everyone, or three, that someone drops a nuke and it's not the end of the world, in which case it becomes normal for someone to drop a nuke every once in a while. Still better than the end of the world, but not a good world to live in.

If this ends with no nukes flying I'll be surprised. The stakes are high. Major powers are fighting an existential battle right now. But if it does, the world order is changed dramatically, either Russia controls Ukraine in which case other countries might decide they can do similar (which means it isn't really over) and we slow burn a global conflict, or or Russia loses out and is probably forever relegated to a minor player and someone else fills the power vacuum.
Economics 101 might start with that, but you need to progress to Economics 201 and so on. "Changes to price will alter the equilibrium point and therefore quantity demanded." is only true if certain assumptions are true, such as "people are rational actors that have sufficiently complete knowledge to act in their own self-interest", and "people always work to maximise meeting their own needs and wants".

In reality, people act against their own self-interest, people don't always act rationally, and people have limited knowledge.

This is why when we look at specific real world examples of price changes, sometimes a change to price does not affect quantity demanded. With minimum wage, a common explanation for this is that minimum wage workers have limited knowledge of the available supply of workers, and don't realise they could bargain for higher wages. In other words, there is a market inefficiency that they are unable to exploit because of limited knowledge; moving the minimum wage higher results in that inefficiency being reduced or removed, despite the workers not having increased knowledge.

We can see this at a very simple level: I have worked with colleagues who are unaware that they are being significantly under-paid for their skills and experience. Technically, the price on offer for their services is set at a higher point than what they are being paid, but due to limited information, they are not selling their services at that point.

Sometimes, even though they have the information, they don't act in their own self-interest and don't change job or bargain for higher pay, for a variety of reasons. Now, if the software firms around collectively increased pay to all those under-paid workers by $10,000, there would be no reduction in employment. There would be a reduction in profits for the software firms, because they were exploiting a market inefficiency that was reduced, but they are still making sufficient profits that they won't change their number of employees in response.
I'm fine with having my number listed. I don't want to be the person that includes some other individuals number to them.

I also want to minimize their information about my network.
These core users (indie developers) aren't "convinced" anymore, they're starting to be skeptical of Unity's management of their engine. Since Unity has failed to fix so many bugs and left too many half-faked features abandoned, they are starting to think Unreal is a much more stable choice in the long term. Gamedevs value engine stability and workflow improvements far more than just shiny graphics and new features, because at the end of the day the most important thing is how you can actually ship a game without problems, not how it would look good in trailers.

Also, Unreal has enough money to burn (from Fortnite) to venture off into new spaces. Unity is taking far more of a risk here, since these indie gamedevs are still the main revenue flow (especially considering that Unity sells their engine in a monthly seat-based system rather than a revenue sharing model like Unreal). If these core users move away and investors become skeptical that Unity's going to make money (they're still burning tons of investor money every year without significant revenue), what we're going to see is a total disaster.
I agree. I use Moom https://manytricks.com/buy/moom and https://www.alfredapp.com/ which I think add most of the stuff I like. To each their own but I think if you are willing to spend maybe $20 then you can probably find something (though I agree it should be customizable with stock OS!)

For me $10 for Moom which I use every single day is okay. I mean, if you're using a Mac you probably have to resign yourself to paying a slight premium for everything so if you're not willing to do that then I can see how it might be a frustrating operating system.
The parse-*, update-keys, update-vals, and random-uuid functions are great additions to core. I look forward to dropping the custom versions from each of my projects!

All programs on the Librem5 appear to be in Debian packages and most of them seem to be identical to the ones in Debian. The document you cited has procedures for getting packages in PureOS independently of Debian, but it seems that most of it will be stock Debian. For my development it seems easier to just upload to Debian and wait for the next Debian release for it to be officially part of PureOS, I'll setup my own apt repository for the things I do and publish the URL for anyone who's interested.

As for apps being suspended, most apps are suspended when there's nothing to do. If a graphical application is minimised so it doesn't have to redraw the screen then it should either be doing nothing or occasionally polling a server if that's it's design.

Web browsers are an interesting corner case as web sites often have JavaScript that wants to run all the time and there's some trade-off between doing what the web site wants and saving CPU/energy. But that's probably not going to be an OS issue for PureOS but an Epiphany browser issue.
They claim it to be visually lossless.

There's also a term for audio, but I forgot the exact terminology.

Things like this is applying lossy compression carefully with lab test on real humans to claim that under an A/B test an average human would not discern the difference.

But it still doesn't mean it should not be taken with a grain of salt.
In any case, it is objectively inferior (and subjectively might not matters.)
On top of my head one thing I'd question is generation loss (but if I am serious in the market of this kind of display I should study more carefully what their claim really is.)

But this is enough a technical detail for anyone to say "they only achieve XxY resolution at Z FPS with DSC" because the theoretical bandwidth isn't there and make do with lossy compression.
Perhaps a good middle ground could be that the regulation takes effect no later than when the manufacturer stops providing automated security updates.
The thing is, “simple” is not trivial to discern. What looks simple to a beginner may look quite hard to maintain to an experienced dev. “GOTO” being the obvious example.
Where do we find all of those better programmers?
I honestly think these stats are driven by bots.
I don't think it's silly, but it's definitely not easy and it's not really the important part here so I don't mind ending that discussion subject.
> Does every download equal a sale? No. Do some people pirate instead of buy if they can? Of course.

It's actually even more nuanced than that. Someone might have a fixed budget that they're willing to spend each month on games. It doesn't matter what it is, just that it's relatively small. Also, they may not be buying games every month, but they will never spend more than that in a single month. If with that budget they can buy a very small number of games (maybe not even one!), more often than not they will not take the chance with any games and will simply try to pirate them. Is that a sale lost to piracy or not? It's hard to say, because they might or might not have purchased a game if it was impossible to pirate; it depends on whether it fits in their budget.

I really think the reason Steam pretty much solved piracy on the PC is because of the expectation of timed discounts. If right now a game is just outside your budget, you know that 6-12 months from now you'll be able to buy it at a significant discount, so if you're patient you don't need to bother with pirating it and you can just wait. Now, some people will still pirate just to be able to play immediately, but piracy is nowhere near as rampant as it used to be on PC. If Nintendo implemented similar policies on its stores (as opposed to trying to sell 30-year-old games for $5) it could solve piracy on its platforms in a day, without resorting to this cat and mouse game.
Why are you pretending those are the only two options?

And why is this an "opponent"?

How about both not being rude and trying to minimize assumptions?

Consider that they probably looked at X, but don't put them into an extremely awkward position if they didn't. And the same for the other things I pointed out.

It's just people skills, my friend.
Nah, someone just needs to claim you are attacking someone’s identity. It doesn’t have to be true.

Commonly it’s someone attacking some progressive policy, and then progressives claiming it is an attack on identity, even when many people of the identity supposedly under attack share the same views.
That’s a good point — what I meant was that the DP connector found on graphics cards is pretty common (“standard”), so should be included. As a frame of reference, a similarly priced monitor I have has 2x HDMI, DisplayPort, thunderbolt 3, and a few USB A ports if you use it as a thunderbolt hub. And it’s a 144hz ultrawide with HDR support.

And while I acknowledge that Apple made a trade off for pixel density, they weren’t forced to make tradeoffs for other features that are common on high end monitors.
A much better book is Running Lean by Ash Maurya. It defines a process for systematically derisking your startup as follow:

1) Create a lean canvas for your business and identify the riskiest/most uncertain area.

2) Do systematic problem interviews to validate your problem.

3) Do systematic solution interviews.

It's a great read for people who are confused about lean methodology, don't know how to get started, or got burned by doing lean "wrong".
| A reminder that a reporter who writes "Dr. Bob says wet streets cause rain" is not publishing fake news. It's reporting the fact that there is someone who said/thinks that. That is different from presenting their statement as fact.

Cool well it sounds like they are reporting something interesting or truthful so it's fake news in my book.

That dichotomy falls apart because engineers are part of the business. If the business wants to do something but the engineers won’t do it, it won’t happen.
This is partly why I'm really excited about the Steam Deck - it's in the same form factor and is running a Linux distro that you're free to modify.
Could you please explain what tone of voice that would be, and why it would not be inquisitive?

I'm extremely confused, and I don't understand your implication that an inquisitive tone won't be respectful or polite.
You don't need money to get a lawyer, you just need a case that can promise a big payday for a lawyer. If this scenario occurred, lawyers would be lining up to take the case for a small fee of 30% of profits, or whatever they can get these days.

It's been pretty easy to buy a 3090 for a while now, and the rest of the 30 series is finally starting to stabilize thankfully
People think they know something well until they have to explain it or explain the opposing position. Lawyers have to do this all the time which is probably why there is more balance. Basically the trick is to ask folks to explain something to you as if you were five.
No no no no, it is absolutely necessary to salt the different components that go into a dish. Many things will absorb salt during the cooking process. Salt can also draw water out of an item which will change the way it cooks as well, for example with eggplant. You need to be constantly checking the salt level while cooking to ensure your final product is not just salty enough but salted throughout the dish and not just on the outer layer. This is especially true with proteins, all of which need to be salted in advance in order to get proper penetration.

Re your comment about olive oil, an extra virgin olive oil has flavor and it would be pointless to roast with it, but you absolutely need oil while cooking food as it's a thermal interface between your pan or your oven air and your food. Of course there are finishing oils that tend to be something with a lot of flavor like EVOO, sesame oil, or an e.g. rosemary infused olive oil, but most oil needs to be added during cooking.

Yes. By the way, the parent comment highlights an important point of having lots of countries and jurisdictions which has very different view on this. My prediction is that it will be fragmented.

My first Android phone was a Sony Ericsson Xperia x10i. With that phone I could go to sleep while playing music from the SD card and wake up 8 hours later with plenty of battery left. The same phone however would run out faster if doing stuff over Wifi or using GPS. It was mostly a matter of how much power different things took.

One of the things I want to do on my Librem5 is monitor my servers, so that will involve polling things every few minutes. PowerTop says that I can save power by changing the polling for USB, but that changes Wifi ping times from ~1ms to ~350ms. Eventually I'll probably try experimenting with that to get an option with a 10ms ping time that still saves some power.
> Phrased differently, if someone advocates for a policy that I believe will be harmful, why should I treat that differently than a stated intent to harm me?

For the same reason you shouldn't treat someone who wants to raise your taxes and give it to other people as if they intend to steal from you.
That's Bonappetit for you. All of their videos of this nature have wildly unqualified folks. One of them featured Alex Delaney who I think was the editor in chief's assistant before he became drinks editor. I'm sure the guy cooks, but they lost my respect when they put him in a video about "Pro chefs". (I didn't watch this one, sorry, but I hope he's not in it)
I assume little optimizations like that are only noticeable to "trained" palates. A professional chef could tell whether each component was seasoned, or if you dumped salt in at the end. I definitely couldn't tell, though.
How many is "too many" tho, realistically?

In an OS like Windows, on "typical" hardware, the amount of memory per thread for stacks and bookkeeping the OS and/or userland allocate is usually negligible. In this context also remember that the reserved stack sizes per thread do not refer to physical memory but virtual memory (or "committed" vs "reserved"). A typical thread usually commits 1 page for the stack and the equivalent of up to 2 pages worth for any bookkeeping[0], etc, which would put the memory committed for the 7412 threads the author mentions in the ballpark of maybe 30-100 MiB of memory actually committed.

The OS scheduler should be good enough to distinguish between runnable/waiting (sleeping) threads, eliminating the need to even look at most threads (which will be in waiting state) until some signal arrives putting them back into a runnable state.

You only really get a problem when you have too many runnable threads (fighting over the available resources) or when too many threads keep rapidly toggling between runnable and waitable, as either case would potentially lead to a lot of expensive context switches (and the former case is an indication you're trying to do too much with the physical resources available).

[0] Tho some things may commit considerably larger amounts of stack space and/or bookkeeping space. E.g. if I remember correctly java8 commits 1MiB of stack space per thread by default, while e.g. java11 merely reserves that 1MiB.
There are e-ink phones.

They don't run regular Android though, with Google Play, just the open source version with some Chinese marketplace. I have followed one (now dead) e-ink phone on indiegogo (forgot the name, sorry), and they wrote that Google does not let (black-and-white) e-ink smartphones pass Android certification, because they cannot correctly display the colors in their apps. So they will never run Google Play, and there will never be just e-ink phone with built-in regular Android and Google Play, sadly.

There is a hacky way to get Google Play on the hisense phones, but... ugh. That's too much hackiness for me.
Chip production is not completely fungible.
> Being cold isn't really an enjoyable thing.

Sometimes it can be.

Sometimes there are tradeoffs.

If it was as simple as "don't do the thing you hate", nobody would ever get cold in the first place, regardless of it makes them sick.

So it matters whether the sickness effect is negligible or not.
Exactly. Employees would be very reluctant to divulge anything if they thought it wasn't privileged. It would be an awful scenario where a bunch of bad stuff would keep happening and would never be stopped because you couldn't ever talk about it.
Ukraine has a small and irrelevant Nazi problem. Far right parties barely mustered 2% of the last election. Less than the US. Reporting on it now only serves Putin's propaganda machine. And making some sort of academic argument about journalistic freedom is maybe technically true but you can't just ignore the reality of the world. The legacy media has been doing a far better job than the agenda-driven substackers.
You should ask about the stuff you don't understand or aren't sure about. Code review is a communication tool. If you're unsure about how something works, someone else is going to be unsure about that later. It probably needs to be clarified in code or documentation.

> But that doesn't mean that bug prevention is (or should be) the primary goal of code reviews.

Totally agree and well said. In my experience the mentality that code review should catch bugs puts unnecessary pressure on the reviewer which leads to people not wanting to review code, because what if they missed a bug.

Not all developers on all code, but N developers on any given piece of code, where N should be greater than 1. Why were you asked to do the review? Is N equal to 1 so there is nobody besides the author who has the expertise needed to do the review? That's a good opportunity to start the process of raising N to 2. Is it because N is equal to 2, but the other person is out on vacation? Better start working on getting N to 3 then!

There have been multiple studies showing that on powerful enough doses even very experienced users can't tell the difference between the various classic psychedelics.

That's not a definite conclusion, but it seems reason enough not to necessarily hanker over one specific psychedelic if you've never done any of them. You'll probably have a profound enough experience on any classic psychedelic.

By the way, cannabis can be psychedelic in high enough doses (especially when eaten), so that might be a way to go for you, considering it's legal in so many places.. and it's generally a lot safer to get cannabis on the above-ground market than some mystery substance on the black market.

Depending on where you go, other psychedelics could also be legal. Dig deep and ye shall probably find. Just do some thorough research on what you're getting into, particularly on testing substances to make sure you're getting what you think you're getting, and on how to do them safely.
