Not any sort of developer myself but if you're writing an OS kernel, and for what it's worth, my opinion is you should know the library's your code relies upon is safe. I have to agree with the part of the article taking about bloat and security problems.
> We're all different, with different needs and preferences.

Yeah sure; actually, it just so happens I more or less said the same thing in a different comment a few days ago (very different topic, but similar sentiment): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30984309

I mostly just wanted to hook in on why these kind of systems still frequently come with a 1080p screen.
It was probably easier for them to be more libre than less during early development. This has often been the case with Apple products.

Don’t worry. They will lock it down.
Not really so close, though right? Using Laptopmedia's database, the only mobile ECC workstations are Xeon not Ryzen, and the minimum size for those are 15.6". 16:10 is the best ratio you can get for displays. In fact, AFAIK, there are no current COTS laptops with a 4:3 aspect ratio display at all.

I suspect if all of what you listed are actually hard requirements, the only way you'd ever get that is if you built your own - source an industrial 4:3 panel+controller, find the smallest Ryzen board with ECC support and get a Ryzen Pro APU (none of the ThinkPads will boot ECC SODIMMS on their boards, despite Pro APUs having nominal unvalidated ECC support) - you could try your luck with an A320TM or otherwise, might need to go embedded Epyc and an M.2 display adapter (like the SM750 ones). You could probably build a "tablet" form factor that's reasonably thin (<30mm?) and light (and use an external USB-C PD compatible chargers/battery packs and simple DC conversion to make life easier on the power side).
If it's not impacting you, I don't really see the point in passing judgement or criticism. If it does impact you, I think you have to ask why you want to be with who doest share your goals. Forcing change on an unwilling partner is a loosing battle for all involved
>I really don't see a material difference between recording an album in a recording studio and writing a program at a desk, or writing a book for that matter.

You don't write an album on the computer (unless you're a DJ, which is, one would argue, not real music). My point was that things on a computer all exists in a realm where you can "right-click > copy" things. Like, that's it.
Still the initial point of building things in the real world, that you can see and touch, stand.

From the OP:

>Software is a great business because, if you can build something that’s useful and provides $10/month of value to someone, it’ll probably cost you a lot less than $10/month to provide that value to a second person. Multiply that by 1,000 and you’re getting paid to do a full time job, even if you only work 5 hours per week. Multiply that by 10,000 and you can retire in a few years. It’s an extremely high leverage business.

>This makes software a weird anomaly.

Yes, software is a weird anomaly, because everything is scalable, because you can right-click copy. Software is a miraculous exception to reality because internet and the computer space is, frankly, some miraculous exception to reality.

Though I may be biased you know, I work in architecture and the software is absolutely horrendous. The added layers of complexity just brings endless frustration -- although in more theoretical fields (like finance) it may work much better, I see your point.

Now I don't see highly-specialized software having a hard time being sold to customers. Most definitely these things sell like crazy, and make their owners ostentatiously rich, which is not the case of the OP. But maybe he should have talked about centralization and monopolies, a logical consequence of scalability, which is what happens when everything is constantly connected as it is on the internet -- because, again, the computer space is a weird space -- and how it makes it much more difficult for small players to gain traction.
I use Blender whenever I can -- it is a fantastic software, capable of doing many things, and it's held up by a global foundation where all the actors of the industry play their part. I'm not saying it's the ideal business model, but it sure is the only software client I respect.

Going to work is not really "giving up rights" as much as it is not having the choice. On the computer space, you have the choice, all the time, that's why it's contradictory.
Maybe we need to create a completely locked-down computing environment, maybe that's the solution.
It’s fun to look up economists opinions on markets, since you can almost always find opposing views. It’s like the weather people, where there’s no downside to being wrong.
The second happiest day for a boat owner is the day he buys his boat. The happiest day for a boat owner is the day he sells his boat.
The baseload solution for renewables is nuclear.

Most of the "concerns" people have are the result of propaganda and lobbying by the American Petroleum Institute. Most of the original flower power anti-nuclear groups were funded by oil.
I can't stand the fucking hypocrisy of the west on this topic
> Just as web developers, of all people, are finally, after over a decade, coming to the conclusion that arbitrarily-packaged dependencies are a bad idea for so many obvious reasons, Rust developers are trying to replicate NPM in the kernel.

Web developers and Rust developers are the same group
I can sympathize with the need to have all required source code in the repository and not having to fetch a bunch of dependencies at build time. Thankfully, cargo already offers a solution here: `cargo vendor` will download all the specified dependencies once into a local directory, which can then be checked into the source tree.

This maintains cargo's dependency resolution/update checking/etc, but also allows for all dependency code to be kept alongside the kernel code and audited accordingly.
The author first show that gas is mostly used for heating and then claim it can be substituted by turning the centrals back on this year. He skips over the fact that everyone would have to replace their heating infrastructure. He also skips over the fact that heating with electricity is much more expensive than with fossil fuels. Even at a war inflated price.
I think people here are underestimating how difficult it is to implement is_deleted in a production system. Literally EVERY query has to be rewritten to reflect the new database schema. If it's not been implemented from the start then you have a considerable re-write, and usually this type of project will not be revenue generating.
To quote you, "Here’s a question I expect you’ll never answer: is it within the capabilities of any groups within the West (state-sponsored or otherwise) to fabricate the information you’re using to make those assessments? And if so, how have you decisively eliminated this possibility?"
It's kinda pricey and not profitable.
Sure, people will do that, but the algorithms of popular search engines are closed source, yet they are getting gamed all the time.

The more interesting aspect I find here is that in an open-source algorithm it is difficult to hide shady patterns that keep the user doom-scrolling.

So open-sourcing the algorithm would signal to me that a membership program is supposed to be a major contributor to Twitters revenue and ad revenue, which it currently most relies on, is going to be less important.

In my eyes that is a net positive.
Its simple, the German population has a very strong anti nuclear bend going back to the Cold War. That is why no politics have the will to oppose this total idiocy.

They rather burn more coal and gas while pretending that renewables will do it all.
> Before you applaud Apple for being too libre and think the company has changed direction, keep in mind this is the same company that ships recently launched monitors without user replaceable power cords and locks out in firmware the possibility to upgrade the SSDs on the very expensive Mac Studio despite teardowns showing that it's phisically possible by end users.

I don't get all those accusations that are constantly recirculated on tech forums. A non-removable power cord has a big advantage: it's hard to lose it. I've never damaged a power cord before (or heard of someone who had) so is it really that damning you should go to a repair shop for something like that? Also, Apple never advertised removable SSD modules. I don't care what they put in that box as long as it works as advertised.
> Europe hasn't had an army to speak of for decades (and for a good reason). So "doubling military expenditures" for most of Europe is "going from nearly zero to slightly more than zero".

Where do you get these claims? Most European countries are part of NATO which demands a modernized standing army as part of its membership requirements.

While it's true that most countries don't spend the ridiculous amount of their wealth on arms as USA does, the armies of European countries are far from not existing.
This type of issues? No. I assume you mean nazis, but while it's hard to find words to describe their crimes, they had pretty robust approach to engineering. On the east side from the other hand ideology always beat logic.

Also, if we're going to assume, that everything we build will be foundation for the next Hitler, then there's hardly point in doing anything.
Elon Musk appeared to threaten Twitter with selling his 9.2% stake in the company if it doesn't accept his audacious $43 billion takeover offer.

Appreciated. I realise that part of this is just being human, if one likes something one wants to promote it. There is a real danger with overselling though. I got quite excited about Julia initially, but when I looked into it some more I found that it couldn't live up to the expectations that were set, and so I have become very sceptical towards all the news.
Still using it (Elixir + Phoenix) here and enjoying it.

Rather than a spin system with all that g force, i would have thought it more useful if an electric rail gun was used along a very long track in a helium filled tube that swept up a at a modest rate at the end to get the angle.
This is terrible advice. It's literally telling someone to make a business decision based on faith. It sounds like the guy is maybe trying to convince himself to keep going.

I'm not saying this from my gut, either. It's from experience.

I have started and invested in ~10 companies, advised 50+ companies, and generally been involved in my US city's startup community for the last 15 years. I read startup news daily (and avoid "VC twitter" -- not sure if this guy is part of that, but he sounds like it).

I have never, not once, seen a startup "give up too quickly" -- it's always the opposite. I have never even heard of this happening.

It's so painful to give up on a startup (personally and financially), people will go to enormous lengths to delude themselves that it's a good idea to keep going forward.

Time may or may not bring you some lucky break. Most likely it won't. Time doesn't suddenly make people want a product that you haven't been able to sell.
> Do they berate you?

The website describes it as:

> Mild: they ask if you met your goal when you pay

> Normal: they ask about your progress once an hour or so

> Hard: like Normal, and staff will frequently stand behind you silently applying pressure.

The official FAQ is written quite informally, so I think it's safe to assume the cafe's "rules" are more "casual guidelines meant to help writers get their work done", and not "literal rules that will be rigidly enforced in some particular way".
I think all big empires eventually collapse under the weight of excessive greed, systemic corruption and cronyism, where everyone from the top to the bottom is busy stuffing their own bags while everything crumbles around them ("f*ck you, I've got mine, go get yours")

It's just that the US manages to prolong this much longer than others.
I feel your pain. I have dropped from 250 to zero for exact same reason ;) The order of magnitude is for sure different, but still, hitting the ground without any warning was a surprise.

A workaround here is to:

- leave the repo public
- move it somewhere else (to private repo)
- reinit original repo with empty content
- once ready, bring back the old repo to previous remote

This way your stars are preserved.
Ukraine doesn't have a navy or air force anymore and a large portion of their mechanized force has been taken out. You wouldn't know it by listening to western media though.
European/NATO countries are increasing their military spending for a reason.

Russia has definitely been losing the propaganda war, that's for sure.
I'm sure there are web developers that are also Rust developers and vice versa, but the vast majority of developers I know that belong to either of those groups don't belong to the other.
But how green is building a nuclear power plant? I imagine there's a lot of heavy machinery involved and lots of concrete involved.
If you don't think anti-nuclear is political (or propaganda), I have a bridge to sell you.

The entire story of crypto is that it’s a somewhat volatile new form of security (I know I said it) that has two disadvantages vs. traditional securities.

1) It lacks the sophisticated financial tools and derivatives that have been developed over the past century

2) It does not have enough volume to keep up with the new sources of arbitrage that come with every new DeFi product (looking at you DEX’s and synthetic stocks!).

Every time a crypto asset “solves” one of those two problems (almost always incompletely) the crypto verse acts like they’ve proven p=np.

I don't agree that we're Trump loving here. I personally thought he did the world wrong. He pulled down the collective brain. But I will say he's not alone.

I think the issue of free speech can best be summed up in this question.

Which one of your friends or family members do you wish to nominate as the person who gets to tell you what you can read? If you cannot nominate one person (specifically one person) then you can't honestly argue against FS.
Gas and electricity are not at all fungible for Germany or the EU. You’ve repeatedly made this claim in the thread and other commenters posted detailed reports showing the use of gas in the German economy.

It’s suicidal for the EU to give up gas short or mid term.
Not sure if this is serious, but how would a private individual send a truck? I have friends trying to transport supplies to Ukraine and they are finding it is quite difficult to make deliveries.
I would be very cautious here. There are many stories about how miraculously people function after brain damage or with half a brain but when examined more closely it turns out there are deficits, just not a super obvious one like inability to speak. Some of Oliver Saks' cases in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat demonstrate how functionally people can adapt to the point that others may not notice.

In many of these cases there are various skills and modes of perception impacted. Artistic talent, abstract visualization, etc. Proprioception, visual perception (not just acuity but things like recognizing abstract shapes vs "gnosis" of objects). Impulse control. Emotional regulation. Many different kinds of memory.

Even the oft-told story about Phineas Gage is mostly false. He had serious metal problems for the remainder of his life, including very poor impulse control. Was it a miracle he survived? Yes. Did he made a full and complete recovery? Absolutely not.

I would also be careful about correlating brain volume with complexity. We know volume doesn't correlate with intelligence between species. Whales are not more intelligent than humans despite having larger brains... their brains are just less densely packed. So being born with a brain that is "too small" can be less of a deficit than you might expect in some cases if the brain matter that is present is of higher complexity - though keep in mind most babies born with smaller than expected brains have profound and permanent disabilities so any contrary cases are very rare exceptions.
A little more than a decade ago when parallax scrolling was new and seen only on a few websites like apple.com, there was a wow effect. Nowadays apple.com and clones are among the most obnoxious and tiring ad-free websites out there.

Do not hijack scrolling. Use CSS scroll snap if you feel like it, but don't do anything beyond that.

(To be clear, this comment is a tangent — TFA doesn't hijack scrolling. I see the same hilarious 0s everywhere effect though.)
For other reasons than the ones I am replying on.

For one, accounts on it are pseudonymous. If by "transparency", you mean "every activity can be traced back to a meatspace individual or institution as recognized by a national government and/or law enforcement", that is a different level of "transparency".

We can clearly see that the current generation of tank the Russians have are useless.
We will spend lots of money on very expensive equally redundant tanks.
We can clearly see that the Russians were unable to gain air superiority.
We will spend lots of money on incredibly expensive new fighters and bombers.
We can clearly see the Russian fleet is bottled up.
We will spend lots of money on new ships and submarines.

If we were interested in defence, all the (small) spending would be on anti tank and anti aircraft missile systems, logistics, and training our national guard, firemen, police and other citizens.
We (the west) vastly outnumber the Russians, have more advanced technology, and hugely larger industrial capacity.

This defence spending is obviously not about Russia, and not about defence, it is firstly and mainly about making money and creating jobs to get ourselves out of the current economic disaster, and secondly about preparing for war with our next official adversary, whoever the Americans decide to nominate for that.

Yes, reductio ad absurdum was the point.

To consider "modern-day legal protections is absurd" but forking an operating system is what? I'd go for special pleading.

But to the point. Plagiarism is important in academic circles, it is not for breathing techniques, whether given by yogis or not. *Please show me why Patanjali would care, if he would not then why should anyone else?*
My main monitor is actually 16×10 1920×1200, and at 24" I find it's kind of too low of a resolution: I wish it was more. But it was fairly cheap (second-hand/refurbished from a reseller) and the intersection of "16×10", "not too large" (I don't want a 32" behemoth), and ">1080p" is basically zero, so I had to compromise somewhere, and given the low price point and that I couldn't be arsed to figure out all the display tech and whatnot for the new screens it was an easy choice.

But 16×10 seems to be making a bit of a come-back, at least for laptops.
