> On a nominally "GNU/Linux" installation, Linux is the important part of the stack. GNU software is a small (and shrinking!) part of the userland. I expect this trend to continue as Clang/LLVM pushes out GCC, modern packaging replaces Debian-style dependency resolution[1], and more software moves from C/C++ toward languages that statically link their runtimes (Go, Rust).

If your getting the userland code from GNU (as is the case with Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, etc....), but compiling it with Clang/LLVM, it is still GNU code written by the GNU project. GNU makes up pretty much the entire linux userland on most distributions with the exceptions being distros like Alpine or distros that use BusyBox userland utilities.

NetBSD maintains their own userland utilities, they are not written by GNU. But they are compiled with GCC, does not make them GNU userland utilities.
Not necessarily. In Paris I had a 45 minutes subway commute, or a 35 minutes -somewhat dangerous- bike commute (time for a one-way trip), and while sometimes I could appreciate either the disconnection the subway provided me or the physical effort need for the bike ride, it was mostly a hassle and lost time I am not compensated for.

Living close to where you work is pretty expensive, especially when the CEO likes the prestige associated with the building or area (and lives nearby, of course, but he gets 10 times my salary).
No he is clearly saying that George Harrison is the last one, because he genuinely hit his peak after the Beatles disbanded (in my opinion).
Train and bus rides come with their own set of problems, whereas any other form of transportation is generally much slower, pushing people to relocate closer to the office in an often expensive and very population dense area. The premise remains the same: time spent commuting is often time better spent differently.
Ehh, 40 minutes on a crowded tram isn't much better. A 1.5 hour walk is better in the actual experience, but that extra 50 minutes comes out of my sleep.
I love working from home, and I have a very enlightened employer but I do have some sympathy with the companies that have a chunk of employees who just don't work when they're at home.

The situation in my company is simple to manage - we hire good people who are very capable and then trust them to get on and do the job. That works with the sort of people we hire and the sort of work we ask them to do. If they're at home we'll generally work just the same, because we're pretty well motivated.

Not all companies are like that though. My partner worked for a charity where maybe 2/3 of people worked exactly the same during the pandemic, but a good chunk (mostly of the lower level admin staff) didn't. Some of them were very unsubtle - they'd never answer Teams calls, and would return them half an hour later and never produced any output anyway. Some were more subtle like the colleague who'd log into Teams first thing and then go back to the Playstation for a few hours of the morning before actually starting work. Having these people in the office WOULD result in more work being done.

What we need is for these employers to be focusing on output rather than hours in the office. They are stuck in a mindset and approach that barely worked in the past where if you had someone in an office for 8 hours a day you'd probably get something out of them. If they focused a little more on what they were getting (and I don't just mean some basic metrics with no human insight) then we wouldn't need bums on seats and the people not doing anything at home would be pretty obvious.

> I think one area where Free Software has failed so far is build systems

GNU Autotools (also known as GNU Build System) is fairly standardized in the GNU world. The build process for most GNU packages is simple:

./configure
make
make install

The FSF-endorsed GuixSD (a GNU system inspired by Nix) is also putting a lot of effort towards system bootstrapping[0] and deterministic builds[1].

Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done. But honestly, I'm very optimistic - the GNU system has gone a long way since its inception, and it's only getting better by the day.

It's that the array access of numpy is surprisingly slow compared to a Python list:

lst = [0]
%timeit lst[0] = 1
33.9 ns ± 0.0415 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)

arr = np.empty(1, dtype=int)
%timeit arr[0] = 1

Indeed. This is what I used to use before I gave in and built this. What I was missing most of all, was marks. Be able to pull up a calendar when sharing my screen with my team to collaborate on dates while marking them for some bearings. Sure, I could double-click on a date in `cal`'s output, which was what I used to do, but I can mark only a single date with that.
Of course! "How do I know I'm successful?" is one of the most important questions one can ask of oneself at work. And one students should ask themselves, too.

The current grading system teaches people not to ask this. That's a problem.
Tensorflow has a CoreML enabled version which run on ANE.

That's actually pretty straightforward: (Tested with EleutherAI GPT-J-6B because why use a closed model when an open one exists?)

Prompt:
"Question: Solve three plus six.

Answer:

a=3

b=6

a+b

Question: Solve twelve times fifteen.
Answer:
a="

And the model dutifully answered:

"a=12

b=15

a*b"

Which you could feed directly to a python console.

This kind of approach, where you make a long prompt to make the model understand the kind of result you want is named "prompt engineering" and I find it crazy how close we get to robopsychology.

Yesterday I sat with my 3 year old in front of the computer to watch a kids show. We've avoided having our child watch "tv" as long as we could, but... it does come in handy.

I've been bothered however by the fast paced editing, and lack of pedagogical input most of them have.

Would love to hear what the parents in this community think.

Thanks!
I agree on most games. I find it interesting that being good at simracing (with one of the proper simulation games like iRacing) does translate to ability on a track.

There is no induction involved (I mean, yes, for some of the lemmas about divisibility, probably you'll need induction, but not for the main proof).
But ceasing to exist and dying are similar yet also different concepts.

A company can cease to exist on a whim, yet be reborn the next minute under a different name, with the same "genes", the same "information", because the actual living, breathing people behind it, just move on.

Weed dealers given the current legislation are commiting a crime. One of the biggest gifts to the lack of prosecution of higher politicians are the infighting between smaller "liberal" parties. And their general naivity

I will never understand people who have a kneejerk reaction against activism. Pretty much all of our freedoms have been fought for by activists. Sure, activists might not be media trained or have a big budget for effective and well researched media campaigns, but a little bit of cringe is a small price to pay to put people's rights forward. Yeah, RMS acts weird sometimes but pretty much everything he's been warning us about non-free software has come true. We absolutely need more people like him.

These days, professionally, I am primarily a manager of people. This is the only thing keeping me in tech—my teams are composed of excellent humans and I get to make meaningful contributions to their personal and career development. I'm also able to influence the hiring process so that our incompetent HR team doesn't fuck up the hiring and onboarding experience beyond repair. And, the young people entering the workforce have no idea what to expect, how to act, how to behave, how to communicate like an adult, how to connect ideas—at the very least, I can help with this stuff and that makes me happy.

Outside of work, my computer usage is limited. I no loner maintain a personal blog or website, and I've given up on writing or online community projects simply because I can't stand having to constantly tinker with the tech—WordPress, Jekyll, maintaining domains, security, whatever. I don't have social media accounts. I don't read online or with a Kindle, I continue to buy and read physical books. No smart home, no smart car, no TV in the house, no apps on my phone other than weather and maps. No time spent watching obnoxious SeatGeek, Liberty Mutual, or Grammarly ads on YouTube.

I am a deeply technical person, my skillset makes me employable, technology and computers have made all sorts of things possible in my life, and for that I am thankful. But more and more, the good life is a life without the screen, without the connectivity, without the neurotic tinkering with tools and libraries, without having to spend full days figuring out if my data was exposed in a breach.

I sit on ass all day for work, I will not sit on ass all evening in pursuit of technical hobbies that no longer bring me joy. There are sunsets to see.
By getting on a plane every week? That would be very expensive and take a ton of time.
Is it that we used to think computers would make things better, not in minor ways but in some sort of fundamental, paradigm-shifting, revolutionary way? And then you realise it's a bit like moving to a new town - you bring yourself with you. Humanity with computers is at least as messed up as humanity without computers.

A bit like how the invention of the vacuum cleaner didn't free people from housework. It just led to higher cleanliness standards, so that people have to do just as much housework as before.

I also remember when:

* The NSA secretly obtained access to every Verizon customer's entire call log. This was blatantly illegal (the 4th Amendment forbids general warrants), and it only came to light because of Snowden's leaks.[0]

* Snowden's email provider, Lavabit, was compelled to install a backdoor that allowed the US government to read the emails of all of the provider's users. The process was supposed to be secret: the company was under a gag order. The public only found out because the founder spoke out.[1]

There are many examples like this from the US (just look up "National Security Letter," or take a look at Snowden's leaks). You're citing one example in which a company successfully refused a request, but we also know from Snowden that there was mass collection on most Americans that went on for years in secret, despite the fact that it was blatantly illegal.

The scale of surveillance conducted globally by US intelligence agencies is unparalleled. I'm sure Russia wishes it could collect information on the same scale, but it simply does not have the ability to do so.

For algebra you could create standard "objective" test. Maybe. Though, I can imagine problems with such test too (think: Srinivasa Ramanujan).

For creative writing? I don't think so.

Apart from being open source, which is great, I don't get the main selling point of this. How are topics any different from threads in Slack? It seems to me that if people stick to using threads in Slack (which they usually do in my experience) you would have the same experience no?
I also found LFS pricing too steep, so I just spun up a gitea and grabbed 150GB block storage for $10/month. Kinda funny actually, since doing this I've slowly migrated all my personal projects off github and gitlab and i no longer have private repos on either site because I don't need them. I pay $5/mo for the server running gitea, which grants me as many private repos as i want with 50GB base storage. Much more cost effective, and I'll honestly probably never use 150GB so a lot of peace of mind there. Backups are managed by my cloud service for $1/mo.

But I guess I don't use a lot of the features a business would need, so I'm only speaking for personal projects. I dunno, I've never actually looked at collaboration features for gitea.

Just thinking about it makes my head spin. I spend a lot of time working out font/color hierarchies, supplementary to coding and data viz. Arguably what you're bringing up is a case for a carefully colored diff that visually cues whether something is a true semantic change or indicative of a lower level issue. I'm comfortable with reading a plain ol' diff that just shows me what changed, superficially, and interpreting it. While I think OP's idea is awesome, it also might create more confusion than it resolves; and resolving confusion is the point of a diff.

I find her website to be difficult to skim and overview, something which is essential for technical reading, because more often than not you will want to return to a document you have previously read to remind yourself of a detail that you remember there, somewhere.

It's probably not only related to the wacky sidebar, but more related to the main content style, headlines being too large and an overuse of colors and emphasis in each section of text. Choosing to alternate dark and light scheme in the A/B code blocks doesn't seem right either.

Which in a way is neither here nor there, since it's not related to her content. Personally I find the "Funky fact alert! The hierarchy here is actually reversed for..." style of writing to be offputting, but I'm sure some others like it.
I’m no physicist but my understanding of black hole singularity is that it is something we can never learn more about as “by definition” no information ever could get out of it. So it’s not about a good or bad model, but that we can never even verify any model against it.

You can do that where for instance the VM has PCI and can plug in a virtio RNG device. But a lot of the QEMU setups Guenter Roeck reported issues with are emulating real (usually old) hardware which didn't have a PCI bus, or any other hardware RNG interface.
Kind of tangential - the tobacco tax is a fallacy in another way: without taking into account quality of life adjustments, smokers are actually a net benefit for society in healthcare costs [1]. The simple reason is because they die earlier and most healthcare costs are incurred near the tail end of life, so by shortening those final years it becomes much cheaper for society to pay out.

All of the GNU code on my Ubuntu machine fits in maybe ~100 MB, which is less than any of a dozen non-GNU applications I use day-to-day. It's just not an important part of the userland any more.

"I'd leave, I even feel I'm morally in the wrong for not leaving. But the thing is that the pay is good, that I'm of an age prone to experiencing ageism in the job market, and also this is a place where I have ample slack for tuning my output and inmerse myself in side projects or personal improvement, so their loss..." - this tells me that you are a very loyal employee and you also find security more important than other aspects of your career. That is certainly your decision, but I suggest you to keep looking at the balance and consider the compromises you are making because of this. Based on my experience there is considerable talent shortage on the job market, and loyalty is seen as a positive by reasonable hiring managers.
I didn't play Rocksmith for years, but I think it had some "level" setting for most songs. You'd get fewer notes and simpler chords on the easiest level. That said, I didn't start with Rocmith as an absolute beginner. It did improve my rhythm, correctness and speed, which is great, but didn't improve my musical knowledge about notes, chords or scales. I see it as a good stepping stone, but eventually you have to move on.
