Honestly - I find Ubuntu desktop a pretty bad experience these days.

I still think they do a pretty solid job with Ubuntu server, but I much prefer something (really anything) other than Ubuntu these days for my daily driver.

I'm not a fan of Snap (I don't hate it, but it's just really not ready yet), and I think they do a bad job of getting required desktop features in place - and have ever since they gave up on Unity, basically. Plus they have a pretty poor track record around user privacy and advertising.

In my opinion - Pop!_OS has kind of taken the role of "Best default" for linux users who just want things to work (they took Ubuntu and drove it back to where it started - a big focus on the DE), and I'm firmly in the Arch camp for anyone who wants the best experience and is willing to put in the time.

Frankly - I'd even recommend a plain Debian install over Ubuntu at this point. The foundations are the same, and the tooling is basically identical, but you have much less cruft.

That said - Wayland is moving really fast still, and I find being on the latest updates on Arch is my preferred experience.
So perhaps you should use your power supply instead of the monitor power because it's clearly not getting enough power at peak?
You have an impressive resume. Kudos!
Chiming in here — not sure about this. I checked for a name that showed as "available" on the link above. I requested the owner of that Github handle a year ago if they were willing to release it to me, as they have zero public repos on there. Long story short, they didn't.

No chance that Github will take the handle off them and give it to us too.

My point is, this is definitely a bug, since the above account is not a ghost account.
Fwiw, I have zero tearing on KDE Plasma+Nvidia on X11 with VSync enabled.
I obtained a RadioShack TRS-80 PC-1 from an estate auction. Got it with a box of other miscellaneous stuff for $5. I talked to the ex-owner and he said he'd turned it on once, then put it back in its case and never used it again.

Came with the case, manual, tape of programs, thermal printer, and tape reader. Cool little machine.

I bought a mattress on a holiday where they of course had a sale going on. They don't advertise percentage discounts, just the dollar sale price, and it was only something like a 30% discount. (I was still able to negotiate a price which came to 40% off.)

But if you need a mattress and can't wait for a sale, then you do have to negotiate if you don't want to leave money on the table.
Maybe I am being silly about it but Minecraft just migrated from mojang accounts to MS accounts. I am worried they are going to pull these sort of hijinks with that.
> that you can't get full resolution on some Macs

This is one area that Apple definitely does not "just do stuff right". Display Stream Compression has been broken (for Intel Macs) - and by broken I don't mean 'suboptimal', but "completely nonfunctional" ever since the first beta of Big Sur, and is to this day - is a well-known, documented issue (many users, multiple GPUs, differing monitors), though Apple has yet to acknowledge it.

My 2019 Mac Pro cheesegrater could, under Catalina, drive 4K monitors in 10 bit HDR at 144Hz.

As soon as Big Sur was installed, your options became HDR@60Hz or SDR@95Hz. Turn off DSC in the monitor and you get the DP1.2 bandwidth.

They’d do the same thing the App Store and iTunes Store purchase prompt does. You confirm you want to purchase in addition to the FaceID prompt.
In many ways, I would say.

If censor resitance and knowing who actually paid for a service are seen as valuable to enough people, it could have a future.
> How do you TDD that?

Counterquestion: how do you know, at each release, that the paypal-stuff still works?

If the answer is "I test it by making a purchase at each release", the obvious question is: why not automate this? That is one benefit of TDD.

So why not start of with that automation?

In your specific case, I would write a simple test first, that, says "on the page of the orange Y-combinator swag, order a shirt and receive a timely confirmation.".

Which is subtly, yet importantly different from "go to X and click order". On the level of such acceptence tests, trying to keep away from implementation details like "pages", "buttons" and so on, helps with solving your problem too: you write down the intent&outcome, rather than the implementation. Focus on the business value. Solve that first. And fixate the outcome for all future: regardless of the PSP, pages, exact values (timely vs within 1 sec), actual confirmation-channels and whatnot, the business value is "green" when it works, and "red" when it doesn't.

Then I start implementing it. Maybe just add one of these <iframe> things that Paypal offers, even. I don't really care: the quest thing to make it work. as long as it gets me to have that acceptance test green with least work, I'm happy.

Happy, but certainly not done. Because the most overlooked part of TDD is the Refactoring. Red-Green-Refactor. Once it is green, start refactoring. Replace the iframe with some library. Go a step further and replace that with my own paypal-API-client. Connect that to my event-stream, or not.
Well, you're right about one thing,

> I know this is not a popular opinion
Ethereum is moving to proof-of-stake this year.

It was moving to PoS last year and the year before that. Now it's June, but I heard probably delayed to July.

One telling thing is that ETH miners not only haven't sold their GPUs they're continuing to buy more at greater than MSRP. It's unlikely there will be a good alternate coin to mine after ETH. Some are planning to move to ETC (Ethereum Classic) but it can't absorb the hashrate of ETH and be profitable.

ETC currently has 24.46 Th/s while ETH has 961.14 Th/s. ETC price has been going up dramatically in the last week ($25 to $40 per coin) but it would have to go up about 20x more to absorb that hash rate.
what if the miners are hostile to you and censor the transaction.
Only if literally _everything_ is UTC.

If you can’t go that far and still need local time zones in some specific part, just embrace your fate and keep and display timezones everywhere, even when it’s UTC.

TBH, I’ve never seen an organization that could 100% move everything to UTC. Especially with countries following DST and other shenanigans, and you want to quickly be able to compare events at the same local time.
> Such as?

Enabling fraud, enabling ransomware, enabling authoritarian dictators to enrich themselves. Furthermore there's still Bitcoin that will never move to PoS, and the popularity of ETH also swaps over to Bitcoin and other cryptos.

Yes, yes, there are also scams in fiat money blabla. The problem here is, that cryptos are a strictly zero-sum game and don't add any value to anybody except people who are able to dump their coins to the next greater fool. So why should we accept all these disproportionate externalities?

Okay, it might not have been a total panopticon (my poor wording), but Big Brother seems not to have had the massive blind-spots that Sauron did.
It's funny, the first impulse I had when they presented it was that maybe it would look even better turned on its head - making the Mac Studio engraving visible. Could help with possible dust intake as well, maybe.
As I understand it, Sumerian culture had drinking establishments. Though they don't seem to have been freestanding business establishments, and were often part of some larger organization (like a temple).

So "bar" would be an updated translation that preserves the essence of an idea of walking into a drinking place, but obviously a lot of the cultural nuance around the social role of a Sumerian tavern is lost. It doesn't really seem important for this joke though.
Agree with you. But in my case I use a MBP as a desktop 80% of the time so wanted a zero hassle monitor that will charge my MBP and take over some of the ancillary functions built into the laptop. It does that perfectly so I bought one and I love it already.

The price is high but it's not unreasonable for the overall quality and it comes with decent service and support unlike all other vendors in the UK which hire third party repairers who are hell to deal with.

> powering a trillion-dollar ecosystem that rivals Visa in terms of the money it moves

It doesn't move that money. It moves around specialty tokens that people speculate are worth that much money.

> the infrastructure for entrepreneurs to build all sorts of new products, from payment systems to prediction markets, digital swap meets to medical-research hubs.

Yeah, no. Those products are a) not new, and b) most of them don't require either ethereum in particular or blockchain in general. It's all speculative smoke and mirrors, chasing investor money.

> Crypto itself has a lot of dystopian potential if implemented wrong

Ah yes. "You're holding it wrong". This is the only outcome of crypto in particular and blockchains in general.

> Buterin hopes Ethereum will become the launchpad for all sorts of sociopolitical experimentation: fairer voting systems, urban planning, universal basic income, public-works projects.

No, it won't. Because the tech not only doesn't solve these problems, but makes these problems significantly worse [1]

> ultimately the goal of crypto is not to play games with million-dollar pictures of monkeys, it’s to do things that accomplish meaningful effects in the real world

No. The ultimate goal of crypto is exactly to play million-dollar games. Just because it was used to send pretend tokens to desperate people who have no meaningful ways of using them, doesn't mean it's accomplished something meaningful in the world.

> The blockchain, he thought, could serve as an efficient method

Blockchain and efficient in one sentence.

> Why is it certain that this is a joke and not some kind of wisdom, charm or unknown literary category?

The distinction between those may not always be that well-defined.

I once read that the story of the Good Samaritan (by Jesus) follows the structure of a popular set of jokes (or possibly self-congratulatory "wisdom") of the time: something happens, a priest comes by and is useless, a Levite passes by and is useless, and finally a common Jew comes by and fixes the problem, and everybody gets to feel good about being a commoner and not some useless elitist. Except Jesus tripped up his audience by replacing the Jew with a Samaritan.

> the mouse pointer being affected by heavy load of any kind on the GPU/UI thread.

It's because of stuff like this that we should treat UIs more like real time systems. There's really no good reason at all that a modern machine can't render every frame perfectly every time regardless of system load --- it's due to inadequate attention paid to isolating real-time-ish paths like mouse cursor movement, composition, input event dispatch, and so on from app-induced loads that we get weird responsiveness issues. X actually did a better job in this particular respect than your typical Wayland compositor --- it used interrupt driven mouse cursor rendering, for example.

For a while I have been losing faith in the crypto space, though I've known about it for a really long time I have never really made any significant money in it.

But I've been watching it with interest and what interested me the most was the governance aspects of it. But lately, when I look at the space, it is really difficult to see any real meaningful interest in doing things properly. I think I am invited everyday on discord or telegram to this or that "DAO", which really are nothing but pump and dump scams with a coat of governance onto them.

I do wonder, is this a feature or a bug? Humans might be naturally greedy and maybe these hyper-marketized mechanisms simply bring out the worst in us.

But I will say, I really admire Vitalik and his vision, I read his blog and I love it. It makes me hopeful but maybe he might just be too optimistic. Things are not how we'd like them to be but how they are, this is a very important lesson in politics.
I had to go back to GNOME on Xorg. GNOME on Wayland won't run my 4k display at a consistent 60Hz, which results in horrible issues in games and emulators, as well as massive numbers of dropped frames in 50/60Hz videos. It is set to run at 60Hz in the display settings, but actually seems to run somewhere in the 50s.

The easiest way to see this is checking the "stats for nerds" while watching a 60fps YouTube video and noting the persistent dropped frames. glxgears also doesn't maintain a consistent framerate.

This doesn't happen in Sway, so I can only assume there is some bug in Mutter that has persisted across several versions of GNOME and Fedora. So Wayland might be great, but my experience with GNOME on it has not been.
Neither is any language for that matter.

Empirical reference is central.

I think a polar bear that is cold on the north pole would be funny as a visual gag most places if executed well, because it breaks assumptions about polar bears. But for some reason when written down it's harder to make it fit the assumptions of the structure of a written joke in many cultures that seems to expect an action. To make it funny in writing, I think many place you'd need a more complex delivery wrapping creating a story around how you ran into this polar bear and it terrified you, but it turned out it was just cold and looking for some way to stay warm.

I believe you should first think about your future work-life balance.

You'll only be a young student once and university is the best time to party, do sports, and work on your social and relationship skills. Many people also meet their spouse during university. Once university is over, or once you're too old to blend in, you will never again in your life have an equally easy time meeting new people.

If you go to MIT, there's a good chance you'll be working super hard and you'll have a lot of incentives to put in some extra work to truly excel and become financially successful. You will most likely also be able to meet and become friends with people who will become influential in the future. But you won't have as much time to goof around with others, especially not if you need to work on the side to finance your university time.

So it's also a trade-off between "social skills" and "work skills".
