Summary of improvements:

The new version has several improvements, such as the ability to apply partition labels – that is, to set a name – on mounted Ext2/3/4, Btrfs, and XFS partitions. On disks with relatively complicated partition layouts, labels can be a lifesaver for a hassled sysadmin.

It also has improved support for the GNOME Orca screenreader, which will make life easier for blind users – for many of whom computers are an essential tool.

Why can't it be that whatever procedure you use to give/get a pointer into another process also makes the necessary modifications to the page table? As you point out, this would become very tedious to the programmer if you just tried to bolt it on to current languages as a library, but I can imagine, e.g., a version of Java or C# that makes this all mostly seamless.

As for what the benefit is, I think you can at the very least get rid of needing to copy data back and forth.

Not that I'm an advocate for single address space OS's. I'd have to think about this more. You might be right. I'm playing devil's advocate to think it through, not to defend a position, if that makes sense.

Bitcoin isn't energy anything. The energy required to print bitcoins has been expended in the process of printing the bitcoins.

The proposition is not a tool, but an approach (moldable development). In a way, it is like data science, but for software. The approach was validated for more than a decade in industrial settings. Indeed, there is an environment involved to show how it can work in practice. It's understandable that one can see it as some kind of notebook, but it's really more than that. For example, there is a lot of emphasis on custom inspectors as basic pieces in the environment.
Yeah, but people still do it in, say, Rust, where that's not the case.
> If it were up to me, I'd have people hacking them

Cut this garbage shit out. Hack on the driver implementation instead.

> Because if I understand anything at all about open source, it's that you don't get to post closed source as if it is open source

If it was upstreamed into the linux tree, then they have open sourced, with the appropriate license. So the driver is not fully functional, but what they have included could be the building blocks for someone to add the additional functionality.

It is a shitty practice, and if you want to drive adoption, this isn't going to do it.

At least they didn't make a marketing statement that they're open source purveyors and software saviors.
This article has some weird colored glasses.

I bought the black macbook because IT WAS THE ONLY ONE IN STOCK, the cheaper ones were unavailable anywhere. The thing was initially unstable (bad firmware but apple patched it). I used it for years and then gave it to a friend who used it for a few years and gave it to her sister. I think it literally lasted a decade.
I had the black MacBook. Yes the “upgrade” was pretty much just because it looked cool, still does imo.

Probably one of my most memorable computers, since I played World of Warcraft on it 10 hours a day for like 3 years lol

So when you say "bitcoin is energy money," that's a tautology. It's energy money if oil is priced in bitcoin.

Violence relieves someone of their Bitcoin keys just as easily as it does their dollars or gold. (At the very least, you can permanently sequester them.)

I have a different interpretation:

People are becoming more intellectual across a wider range of society — driven partly by how effective the internet is.

What I see as precipitating this distrust in institutions is that people on average are more connected and more engaged and reading more information. So we see the fallout as parents getting engaged, informed, and organized to protest CRT; or young men getting engaged, informed, and organized over the heart problems caused by the second dose of certain vaccines. Which is why the response has been to censor community platforms like Discord, in an attempt to regulate the information flow.

This is the debt of our intellectuals systemically lying to us, eg the persistent denials of CRT praxis or attempts to hide Pfizer clinical data, which shows the second dose causes elevated risk to the heart for young men.

What we’re seeing isn’t anti-intellectualism, but pro-intellectualism challenge a lying orthodoxy.
but this is not entirely academia's fault. I'm reminded of the ongoing conversation about alcohol's impact on our health. Over the decades, if you've consumed mainstream media, you've been told everything from "2 glasses of wine per day is good for you" to "no amount of alcohol is good for you" and everything in between.

What's difficult is that it's hard to communicate the nuance of what a study actually studied. How many people were involved? What were the methods used? What was the effect size? What were the confounding factors that couldn't be controlled for? None of this can be effectively communicated in a world that reads headlines and probably not much beyond that.

And of course, the media does sensationalize because they're incentivized to. You'll click a headline that says "alcohol is good for you, says science" but probably won't click a headline that tries to communicate the nuance.
There are third party Surface keyboards / "type covers" which are similarly detachable but run over bluetooth (because the Surface connector is proprietary I suppose). I have no clue about the quality but if you want it to work detached, you surely have some options.
Honestly, HN is still badly suited to long-form discussions, because it’s generally limited to a few hours, and due to the lack of read/unread status. You can’t rely on participants to follow a thread for days/weeks/months/years as you can on web forums and mailing lists.

Casual people and scientist are different cohorts of population, casual people do not have the culture to comprehend, most do not even understand the difference between a third-partly hosted web-app and a local one just because they look at the same screen, most do not understand why it's absurd and bad print a document, scan in to an image and send the image by mail etc BUT those normally are not scientist.

Scientist normally like to learn, so if someone explain them something interesting they learn it in means.

Population always follow.

Just look at the French Revolutions the Sans-culottes was driven by bourgeois, similarly on the other sides soldiers are peoples/"commoners" driven by other bourgeois and aristocrats. The people have chosen a side or another, and they are pushed to chose by both sides. So far I do not see much on the FLOSS side since there is no community anymore and most just live on someone else computer. Who better than Scientist can correct that aim? Peoples in Humanities surely are more listening but they mostly lack enough skill to bridge the gap between the philosophy (in the classical sense of "the why") and the practice, scientist normally can.
Could you define the two? Because as far as I can tell, most people (even ITT) just use "childish" to mean "things I don't like".
"Without that, Reader Mode would look for the first HTML element that contained the string "author", assume its content was the name of the author of the article, and make it a byline right below the title. Of course the element it picked was a section header, with the content "Completing an authorization"."

Why would a section header in your article contain "author" if you didn't mean for it to designate who the author of the article was?
Perhaps. But to skim over Egypt's economic history - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Egypt#History - their only substantial exports, back in the 1930's, were agricultural products. I'll guess that the British Empire was not generously subsidizing Egypt's food imports then, nor were there millions of free-spending tourists to be paying, nor...

Edit: Okay, perhaps Egypt had replaced many of its wheat fields with cotton fields by the 1930's, and was buying food with the cotton money. The British cotton industry might have loved that...but "massive food imports paid for with a cash crop" is a dangerous strategy to play long-term, or on a national scale. And Egypt threw off the last of the British yoke in the mid-1950's.
I used to sit next to a guy who previously professionally wrote compilers for both DEC Alpha and Itanium (http://robert.muth.org/), who mentioned that programs often ran faster on Alpha (which only supported 64-bit addressing) when modified to use 32-bit array indexes instead of pointers, due to reduced memory bandwidth/cache usage. Of course, one had to first determine if one needs to use any arrays larger than 2^32 elements.
While privatization and the fundraising rat race for grants certainly started us down this trend, academia has been it's own worse enemy recently, and it's primary output these days seems to be ideology and activism, rather than cold, hard, factual, evidenced based research and science, so much so, that the activism and ideology has worked its way into the science itself. It's a poisoned well at this point, and it's sad, having worked in a research lab at university myself in the computer vision department, there is still tons of cool things going on, but they all get massively overshadowed by the hot button issues and whatever the Social Justice cause du jour is.
ScareCrow – Payload creation framework designed around EDR bypass
Yeah my initial thought was “because people are willing to pay more for it”; I’m happy to hear that that was somewhat the conclusion of the article.

People are irrational, they value things that don’t necessarily cost more to make, and sometimes even the fact that they need to pay extra for it, is in fact why they want it.

>“The idea of a decentralized network and people being the owners of it is what influenced many people in Lebanon to invest in bitcoin mining,” said Iskandar.

I'm pretty sure it had more to do with Lebanon's economy tanking and the people trying to find ways to make money. They didn't lose trust in Lebanon's bank due to ideological reasons, they lost trust in its bank because the economy is in chaos. For them, crypto is one of their last resorts.
Much of it is overt these days. Instead of a subtle flash of a product, we have paid product placement that has been fully embraced by game and media industries. Here's David Lynch talking about it 15 years ago:

The access points are cloud managed only (I believe the switches can optionally be managed through a local webui) but very solid hardware, quite easy to set up, and probably feature rich enough for basically anyone who isn't trying to mess around with an enterprise environment at home.
> Cryptocurrencies solve the issue of trust.

I would argue it's closer to the opposite. Cryptocurrency solves the question, "How do you operate a shared ledger in the absence of trust?"

I, sitting in my cushy home in the USA, with my cushy American, NCUA-insured accounts at a fiscally conservative credit union, don't have that problem. I get to benefit from a regulatory environment that has done a quite good job of directly solving the problem of trust for the vast majority of its participants, so that we don't need expensive, complex trustless cryptographic ledgers to manage our electronic assets.

I agree. This seems identical to AIDS mitigations losing support from the heterosexual community once it became evident that it highly disproportionately targets homosexuals. People will naturally be most concerned with what affects them personally and specifically.

This is great- a small project I made to learn solana development was made tough with toolchain and validator issues. (I was unable to run a validator on an M1 macbook until then!)

I occasionally watch Simon on Cracking the Cryptic and find it interesting how different his approach to solving Sudoku is to mine.

> There's a territory. There was digital land-grab on this territory. A tiny number of people bought all the available digital-land. Now everybody else needs to buy the land from them. At extortionate prices.

Sounds just like the VC land-grab when investing in a hot new tech startup, and the subsequent dumping on the public at ICO.

But just like with stocks, nobody "needs" to buy crypto. If a company produces something useful to you, you can capture value as a customer without owning the stock. If a company ever uses blockchain technology to produce something useful to you, at that point you will be able to capture value as a customer without owning crypto.

> The good news? It's easy to create another territory. It's easy to create an infinite number of territories.

It's easy to create an infinite number of companies, but not all company stocks trade at the same value.
Not sure if that was an attempt at a steelman or a strawman, but I think you are missing critical distinctions for the group that you are addressing.

People, in general, don't enjoy when powerful monopolistic entities directly ration access to goods & services based on immutable characteristics such as race. Groups not receiving the positive discrimination experience by said powerful entities will of course be frustrated.

My read is the exact opposite on the group you are addressing: I would not expect the concerned people to be lobbying hard for single payer. Why would they want to give more power to an entity that shows it's willing to discriminate based on immutable characteristics such as race?
Sounds like a bunch of extra batteries and a sort of battery shuffle. Its not uncommon though. The thinkpad battery slice is effectively the same idea.
All true, however, by using the dollar as your primary currency, you are effectively a vassal state of the United States, your currency getting regularly devalued without getting any direct benefit of that devaluation like American citizens get, and also no representation in the government that controls that implicit tax that is currency debasement.

I'm not Salvadorian, so it's obviously not my place to say what you should do. But I don't see being a second class nation state, in implicit subjugation to the currently dominant global superpower to be a terribly stable state to be in for the long view of human civilization.

But then again, that's one of the more insidious effects of bad currency. It forces people into short term thinking because the value of their savings bleeds away so quickly in time. Those people who don't subscribe to storing their money in weak currencies tend to take a longer term perspective on life.
Ruckus is pretty much the exact opposite of the price spectrum. At least you can get the older generations for less extreme prices second hand.
Try again. Linux Mint is fantastically simple to use, and legitimately "just works" for average-Joe uses cases.

The brand we settled on was Pillivuyt (better quality). You can get Corelware for cheaper that seems to be tested safe, but if you're looking for stuff that's going to last, you want actual porcelain dishware.

The other brand that we found was sold by Sur La Table, made in Turkey.

We chose porcelain over some other materials (like glass) because it's more durable, and Pillivuyt has been making the stuff for a long time (simple, high quality).

You can read up on lead glazing issues on Lead Safe Mama ( https://tamararubin.com/ ).

You will not find this brand among her recommendations, but my wife went to the trouble to research stated lead levels in glazing processes from a number of manufacturers. There are differences in their lines, as well. The ones you get direct from France, or through Nordstrom are the "good" lines and the William Sonoma lines are cheaper (for Pillivuyt).

This is a common theme over at /r/HermainCainAward. At first, Covid was seen as a threat similar to Bird Flu but even graver with the news from Italy and China. Then, as the Trump administration started to downplay mitigating actions due to possibly affecting the election, Covid denialism started to become a conservative in-group signifier. Shortly aftewards, reports came out about Covid disproportionately affecting communities of color and Democrat heavy areas which sealed the deal. From that point on, any conservative seeking to remain relevant had to get behind covid denialism in all forms because the virus was initially seen as hurting the "right people".
While I can see the utility of a $35 computer and even a $70 computer-in-a-keyboard-box, this leaves me a bit baffled. A Pi is bought for tinkering. A notebook is meant to be your "main" computer.
