The biggest problem with GNOME, and with Mozilla, and with almost everyone who's commenting on their choices, is that all of them are shuffling deck chairs around on the Titanic.

The Titanic didn't sink because of the arrangement of deck chairs, and Mozilla didn't sink because of any features they did or didn't provide (and GNOME didn't fail to achieve significant market share in the first place because of features either). The actual problem doesn't have anything to do with the stuff on the deck at all.

It's the one-two combination of vendor-lock in and bottomless marketing budgets. Since most of the value of the Windows platform and the Web is the immense amount of stuff that's built on top of it, there's a huge lock-in effect that prevents you from even reaching parity, much less exceeding it. And in order to overcome the marketing budget and pure inertia, you need to be ten times better, not just on par.

If GNOME becomes as usable as Windows, it won't have anything to do with what they actually do in the desktop environment itself one way or the other, whether it's continuing on the road they take now, or reverting everything back to the way GNOME 2 was, it's totally irrelevant. GNOME becoming usable will be entirely because of Valve investing in Wine, combined with a whole bunch of other apps moving to Electron and shipping Linux versions because heck why not?

Unfortunately, while they are probably already on par with Windows, they aren't ten times better than the Mac:

* The Mac has a bottomless marketing budget. Good luck competing with that, GNOME.

* They've shown a lot more restraint than Microsoft has, probably because macOS is considered a niche product to round out their catalog rather than being their one and only operating system like Windows is for Microsoft. They have even reversed course on a few anti-features, like adding back USB-A ports to the Macbook Pro even though it made the laptop slightly thicker. And unlike Windows RT, they didn't lock down the ARM Macs.

* Those tectonic shifts I mentioned that made Linux usable? They also make the Mac usable, because Wine is open source and Electron is basically its own operating system. Anything truly good that GNOME does, Apple can copy it just like Chrome copied all the really good stuff from Firefox.
That's a really good perspective, thank you for the addition, it was quite valuable.
> My lay reading suggests that Twitter is now basically operating at his whims to keep him from leaving the board and executing a takeover plan 90 days thereafter.

Honestly, it might be amusing if he does do that. Twitter stock looks to still flat from the IPO price, even after the spike after this announcement.

I say, let him tie up a significant portion of his net worth in a vanity project with no real growth potential.
Answer my question and I'll be happy to answer yours in kind. Please note 'economically' was added by you. I genuinely wondered if you and your family would be better off in general, not just economically. Usually economic effects have greater effects on the family outside of the economic outlook. It would be strange indeed if you toiled for years doing something to create a net hurt to your family.

I will say if you engaged in some unethical labor practices to help your family while earning those $6, I personally could look past them to some extent. I assume you did this to help your family survive so anything unethical you did was out of necessity. Personally I withhold judgement.
The PC market grew bottom up to be 10x the size of the workstation market during the 90s. Even with thinner margins, eventually workstation makers couldn't compete any longer on R&D spend.

IP fingerprinting is unhelpful - the user experience for mobile devices becomes terrible. Any other client fingerprinting is easily duplicated.
One bit of feedback, it’s a good idea to put “higher is better” or “lower is better” on graph axes.
Good Coding is still in major deficit these days so absolutely true.

Going back to "coding intensity" that used to be common in 8-bit processors to overcome bloatware is still open territory. One may themselves code with libraries efficiently but the libraries are very seldom very efficient.

This is still one of the better ways of "extending Moore's Law" - stop bloating code.

Architecture innovation is another.

Chiplets is probably the best physical/electronics way right now to continue the status quo of laziness.

You’ve yet to answer to my question on whether it matters when bills functionally block something without explicitly stating so.

If you want to infer some assumptions without answering some basic axioms so we can make sure we’re on the same page and not arguing past each other, I’ll just dive in.

Since I’m seeing many supporters of the bill get incensed at the fact that Y is also functionally banned, and been told that I should know what the bill is “really about”, and that the bill does not define “age appropriate”, I reject your rejection of the premise. There’s a chilling effect of the government saying you could be in legal trouble for this, but they won’t let you know what the line is until you’ve crossed it. That causes people to pull their behavior far back from wherever they think the nebulous line might be.
For android use Keepass2Android which is compatible with KeePassXC.

If I had to pick between LastPass and BitWarden, I would go with Bitwarden.

I personally use KeePassXC and Keepass2Android with the pw files synced across 3 phones and 3 laptop/desktops using syncthings and have had no problems.
I think I was editing the comment while you were replying. Sorry about that. I was just adding to it though, didn't really rug pull on your response so I think it's fine.

> What qualifies? What defines signal, what noise? I agree, that a lot (probably nearly all) pages will receive very, very little traffic/search requests. But are these therefore not relevant?

Now this is a proper difficult problem with (probably) fairly subjective answers. I do however think it's something that warrants serious investigation. It's probably a decent candidate for a machine learning model combined with some manual tweaking for sites similar to wikipedia or github that have absurd amounts of parallel historical content.

Developing heuristics for this is a bit of a hobby horse of mine. It feels tantalizingly almost doable with just a little bit more resources and time than I have.

> That's extremely cool. I would love to know more. To me an impressive feat already.

Yeah it's at <https://search.marginalia.nu/>. I've built all the software myself from scratch in Java[1], and I'm doing my own crawling and indexing. The machine it's on is a Ryzen 3900X with 128 Gb RAM. Most of the index is on a single 1 Tb consumer grade SSD.

I do use a MariaDB database for some metadata, but I think it will have to go as its hardware demands is becoming a serious bottleneck.

[1] Despite using Java, I should say regarding the index. This is approaches sunk cost at this point. Building a search engine index is not something Java is at all suitable for, its limited low-level I/O capabilities is incredibly handicapping.
I've never thought one-click checkout was a good idea. I buy stuff on Amazon on a semi-regular basis and I've never used it.

As someone who has been working with apis from all the major git platforms, i find the Github api the most complete and most featureful to work with..

As an example not having Gitlab apps the same way Github apps has it is a bit of a disapointment for me since i generally like gitlab as company

> 2TB of RAM in a workstation will run you at least $30k

The trick here is to use a board with 32 dimm sockets -- which requires an oddball formfactor-- but it radically lowers the cost of reaching 2TB.

But your point remains, change your target to 4TB ram (which really isn't an absurd amount of ram) and the astronomical costs come back (unless you go to 96 dimm socket systems, which have their own astronomical costs).
Historically these are called patches or patchsets.
Perhaps this is what is actually meant by "television programming"

>The 512x512b FMA unit is like the size of Alaska and the decoder is the size of Monaco. So the advantages of RISC were overtaken by semiconductor physics for the most part.

There still is a hardware advantage (has nothing to do with sizes, everything to do with complexity), but let's ignore that.

RISC being simpler doesn't just help the hardware. It also helps the software, the whole stack.

Extra complexity needs strong justification. RISC-V takes that idea seriously, and this is why it already has the traction it does, and is going through exponential growth.

This is disappointing:

"Note that this project is supported on all major operating systems except FreeBSD, which is still incompatible."

Considering both Plex and Emby support FreeBSD, I'm sad to to learn that Jellyfin does not.
You can't exactly harness heat; what can be harnessed is a temperature differential, to convert into some form of mechanical motion or electrical potential. You'd need some apparatus that connects the hot mass and some cold sink with thermocouples. Whether that's possible or feasible on the scale of the London Tube, I don't know.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

Instead of that, probably a more feasible way to make use of heat is just as heat, by some way of circulating it into buildings in the winter. One interesting angle of looking at this would be that it's really an artificially created geothermal source.

This is a line of thought about consciousness. It's constancy of predicting the future that defines it. It even becomes the basis of believing in afterlife because we simply don't know how to extend ourselves into the future at a gut level.
It is genuinely interesting to me. All of the uproar about “free speech” has been confusing to me. Who are these people being censored? What are they saying?
It is possible to use from a completely unprivileged environment by putting the nix store in your home directory instead of `/nix`. But (and it's a big but) you'll then have to build all packages from scratch because the hashes for you packages will be different to the ones in the nix binary cache.
>They only care how much it costs and how fast it goes.

Parent is telling you: At any given development cost, you'll end up with a faster CPU if you go RISC.

This is why almost every new ISA to meet success in the last three decades has been RISC.
Totally understand if you don't feel comfortable using it!

The reason we don't submit this only during a crash, is because there are a lot of other things we want to know about users like: Which features are they using? Are they sticking to warp as their daily driver? How much time do they spend in the app?

We do want to make the telemetry opt-in after Warp is out of beta.
There are all sorts of weird words. I'm currently fuming about the fact that "double-click" has apparently entered PM-speak. My experience has been that although "Googley" does get used frequently and it is indeed a stupid word it basically just means "kind" or "helpful" and I don't read it as some sort of kool-aid that implies that people working at Google are meaningfully different than people working elsewhere. This is, of course, just my personal experience.
FWIW, EPYCs sell on ebay with $/core prices much closer to threadripper prices-- presumably that's closer to what AMD is selling them for to large companies after discounts.

Pretty much. It's not for everyone but here's the nice thing about Unreal: If you pay for it using Paypal and it turns out the plugin is not as described, you can get your money back.

Good luck of that ever happening with Unity. I was promised refund by Unity support for a totally non-responsive and outdated plugin that was on sale. They delayed and delayed until I could no longer get a refund.

Having said that I do not recommend Unreal Engine for solo indie development but Unity also feels weird with confusion around which version you need to start with, DOTs etc.

Unity seems like it is it for indie developers but its increasingly a cluttered landscape with lot of shoddy plugins

Not much new to say, just my $0.02.

- Love the idea overall of a fresh, new shell. I love novelty, features, ergonomics, and this pushes all the right buttons

- Looks gorgeous

- The mandatory Github login is...weird. I don't mind logging in, but it seemed unskippable, and conceptually that leaves a bad taste.

- Mandatory telemetry...ehhh. Like I get it, I use Sentry and OTEL, I love the visibility, and I get exactly why you want it in the beta, but ehhhh, really bad look. Especially in this community. Also the privacy policy doesn't seem to be linked from the app. I can get to it, but would be nice to just go there right from the about page. On the whole...I find it tolerable, but I don't work in a highly sensitive field at the moment. At $LASTCO, that would be a complete nonstarter. Between the squick factor and compliance, it would be good to at least allow some amount of opt-out on the phone home.

- I would easily pay $20-50 for a souped-up terminal (I spend all day in it), even a closed-source one, but the "we raised tons of money to build a free terminal and haven't figured out how to monetize it yet", again, understandable, but not the best look, given the mandatory data collection. Hey, dev's gotta eat, but I'd rather pay for OSS and transparency, rather than free-but-you-are-the-product, and I hope they go for the former route.

Yeah the multimodal work is already making progress and will likely be the future. That problem seems solvable soonish. Sequence of actions is much harder but with their new Chain of Thought research and whats happened in RL, I wouldn't be surprised if this was mostly solved in < 10 years.

Almost. Annoying are things like geographic context in results that are terrible (for me) but it's more adapting queries.

Then what is musk asking about in terms of free speech since no one is going to jail when Twitter or other social media sites ban people or censor their tweets?

While I am not claiming that you personally are guilty of this, musk stans always seem like they are talking out of both sides of their mouth whenever they defend musk’s comments on free speech and jump back and forth on whether they are using the “protection from government action” definition or the “protection from condemnation of other private individuals and companies” definition
But you're missing the point of everyone who is saying "Twitter Inc is too ideological". The point isn't "Twitter should abstain from ideology" as though that's possible in a strict philosophical sense, the point is that they don't need to suffocate users with their ideology. Twitter Inc can remain devoutly woke without spamming user feeds with woke propo.

Invariably, topics involving "ideology" are a trap for pedants. They think they're going to get a good "gotcha!" in, but they find themselves hoisted on their own petards.
Yes, but I think one thing that is interesting here is that these Graviton 2 instance types also offer, for example, better IO throughput or storage/$ even though the CPU architecture doesn't obviously affect that (i.e., it's not like you get access to a new source of quality NAND chips to build SSDs when you switch your CPU).

Another thing I found interesting was that the porting process was painless for this native application. There are lots of examples of quick wins on Graviton for interpreted or bytecode/JIT'd languages where the runtime exists on Arm and the software just works, but porting a complex native application would seem to pose more problems. In our case, however, it was quite straightforward (more than I would have expected).

I've been following the space since a bit of time, and I must say it's exciting. To me this is the future of apps where the Truth lives server-side, and everything reacts from there; With partial state evaluation lowering resource consumption to a minimum.

Why steal the money completely? I bet it would last way longer if you just skim a bit off the top but then use the rest to pay for their parking so they're not towed and don't have reasons to question anything.
Node is doing the right thing: if two dependencies in maven have conflicting dependencies, maven just picks an arbitrary one as _the_ version, which results in running with an untested version of your dependency (the dependency is actually depending on a version the developers of that dependency didn’t specify). Because node allows the same dependency to be included multiple times, npm and friends can make sure that every dependency has the right version of its dependencies.
The history is of radical overpromising, and continual announcement of "breakthroughs" that do not bring plausible competitive viability any nearer.

The current funding level, given the abysmal prospects for any return, is too high. It was even higher before. We'll never get any of that back.
With one wire for power going through them vertically you could go really high and stay there “forever”.

It also has support for pbp mode, where it can display each computer on a portion of the screen.
Love to see Coast getting some attention again! I got my start into Clojure with it working with Sean on small web apps written in Coast. I even gave a talk about it at the Berlin Clojure conference

The first project we built together with it was called magehash, and it was an app to monitor websites for Magecart attacks (code injection stealing credit card data).

That project ended up not working out, but I’m using a lot of the lessons I learned with Sean at my new project (https://www.june.so) which is ironically a Rails app and we keep in touch on Twitter regularly

--> The Innovator's Dilemma
Casting Silver Bullets (2013)
the payment of subsistence wages is not what leads people to become wealthier over time. The reaction to the oppression of subsistence wages, leading to workers' rights movements, is. At least, that's the case in the UK and the USA - China was never a sweatshop country before the revolution, and now it is in some areas, so it's not an example of overcoming sweatshop work at all.

My point is that sweatshop workers become less poor when they become tired enough of their conditions to rise up against their masters, not because they are able to put together savings or anything like that.
It is still vastly cheaper to buy your own GPUs and ML accelerators than to rent from cloud providers for any reasonable level of utilization (i.e. not a hobby).
But why would the money or the minimum wage job that one has should change their ideals or "endgame" goals?

Maybe in other words, why would anyone should ask to grow old doing something they don't love?

Thanks, this is great feedback that I'll implement next time. You are right that it is not always obvious especially when talking about both throughput (higher is better) and latency (lower is better) in the same post.
This doesn’t really make sense what you described isn’t actually a neutral stance — hell just the framing alone betrays your feelings. You’re already using extremely polarizing vocabulary in your attempt to be neutral.

Someone in support of trans men and women being able to compete would take issue with:

* “men becoming women” — transitioning doesn’t change your gender, it only aligns your outward appearance to the gender you have always been.

* “dominating female sports” — the whole point of the opposing view is specifically that trans women don’t dominate sports.

You’ve twisted it in such a way that even accepting the premise of your “neutral” statement is already super political.

Here’s a real neutral stance that would be accepted by people on both sides of this particular issue.
