The catch is, with enough 3rd party apps MacOS can do all that stuff but no amount of 3rd party apps and utilities can make Ubuntu match the MacOS experience. To match macOS on Ubuntu you will need a full time Linux guru as PA to smooth things out for your. You will need another one for the after hours. Therefore, Ubuntu is great for really rich people or people who need that one thing that Ubuntu excels at and nothing else.

It's essentially the same issue with iPhone v.s. Android. There's always some Android phone that can do one thing better than the best iPhone out there and to have an overall better-than-iPhone experience you need to use a dozen Android devices all the time(buying and maintaining multiple devices is unrealistic for most of the people, you need to be really rich and have a PA to manage all that for your. Another PA for the extra hours).
With current supply chains and infrastructure, yes, flat panels in general are easier. OLED are still somewhat specialized so most come from JP or KR companies (with factories in JP, KR or CN).

My current employer (based in Taiwan) makes an "LCD Flat Panel Manufacturing Plant" product.

You literally just need a building shell (the plans for which we can provide to qualified sales prospects). Then you place your order and a few months later dozens of shipping containers arrive and you put the contents into the shell like a child's construction toy or Ikea furniture. All the cables are snapped together and you start feeding it the inputs, and out pops flat panels. It's 100% turn-key.

This product is part of the reason why flat panel TVs are so cheap now - and Chinese customers LOVE how it's so simple for them and requires zero actual knowledge of making flat panels - sort of the ideal manufacturing for them (we also sell a support contract service to run them).

Also one of the very last CRT manufacturers on the planet (which now manufactures flat panel screens as well with CRT production ending in the mid 2000s) was in Taoyuan TW (their logo still has a CRT in it last time I drove by their plant).

Taoyuan and Hsinchu have been glass centers for TW for the last 200-300 years due to natural reserves of highly pure silica and natural gas in the area. Before semiconductors, these places made scientific glass products (chemical/medical glassware, lenses, etc.) which is why this former CRT plant was located there. Note that the supplier of lenses for iPhones is located in this same area. The common supply chain of silica is why Hsinchu is the semiconductor center that it is. Old fashion geography still applies to why the world is the way it is.

If you were to start a CRT manufacturing plant in the US, the only best place would be in NY or PA near Corning NY because Corning Glass is still there and doing leading edge work in glass still. There's no company nor area better for glass or glass dependent products in the USA at this point in history.
Not at all. Ubuntu or Fedora for that.
Funny enough he's answering your complaints in the last paragraph. You're telling him he's "holding it wrong". Except individual taste can rarely be wrong.
Yes. Was yours a Pixel 2?

I'm not the only one to experience this issue, see https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/14920605/google... and https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73217322 and https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68897739
And right now, 15.24 wind is providing 16.8GW (26% of capacity, 21% of total electricity production in DE) and solar 23GW (38% capacity, 28% total production DE).

A single data point at 6am doesn't tell much, neither does one at 15.24.

Interesting article and worth reading.

This mix of ideological and corporate backing may make Linux and certain similar projects seem "too big to fail", but the only reason Russia, China and India (and indeed certain western corporations) hasn't completely ignored all or parts of the GNU Public License is because its rise in popularity coincides with the world turning unipolar: the Linux kernel was released in 1991, the same year the Soviet Union toppled over and fell apart.

This way of writing as if Russia, China and India are undifferentiated monoliths, often while affording "The West" the courtesy of being comprised of individuals, is really grating.

These countries also consist of individuals, and these people also create and contribute to FOSS. Perhaps to a lesser extent, due to cultural and economic reasons (as the author speculates), but they contribute nonetheless.

The author seems to ignore one of the most practical reasons for contributing to FOSS (and the argument behind the Open Source movement when it broke from Free Software). It's often cheaper and simpler to play ball (i.e. contribute back instead of maintaining your own patches in perpetuity).

I do buy the argument to some extent that American global dominance is helpful in enforcing free software licenses overseas, but it's definitely not the full picture and there will always be people contributing to FOSS regardless of whether there's a state that enforces licenses.

we probably shouldn't hold our breath waiting for anything substantial to show up in any FOSS repository from sanctioned countries

Nginx is Russian. I would call that pretty substantial.
If the problem is in the software provided by a package, most of the time you can report them in the bugtracker of the distribution, but it wont be fixed/supported by the distribution since the bug is upstream.
They use public-key cryptography. Your device generates an RSA key pair. The private key is encrypted with your vault encryption key, and the public key is given to everyone who wants to share information with you. The information they encrypt with your public key can only be decrypted with your private key, which only you can access (since it is protected by your vault encryption key, which is protected by your password).

Show HN: Hacker News dark mode userstyle with legibility improvements
I created a userstyle[1] to add "dark mode" to HN, along with some increased text sizes, white space, and line heights to improve legibility:

Lead mobile dev at Breezeway here. We have been working with Flycode during the private phase of their launch and only have good things to say. We built our localization feature on top of Flycode to simplify the translator’s workflow; their proficiency is absolute proof that this company means business. They went the extra mile helping us during the integration phase.

Thanks, Flycode; you guys rock.

Now imagine every employee in your city, regardless of industry, got a 7% inflation raise. This would then push prices up even more. Pushing inflation up even more. Pushing even more inflation raises next year.

Rinse. Repeat. It's a never ending loop of wage inflation

The only way inflation stops, or even deflation starts, is if someone "gives up" on inflation adjustments
Your game console, your smart TV, and even your microwave oven all have computers inside, crucial for their interaction with you. But they choose to not expose to you the general computing capabilities they possess. (Yes, there is a reason for that.)

Truth be told, a Macbook does expose itself as a general computing device all right.

Which is annoying for some applications which don't maximise, because the content isn't there but could be. I can't think off what does this off the top of my head since I installed Amethyst, but I think I remember Excel used to do this back in the day.
Current origin-of-life theories are pretty diverse, but a very promising approach postulates the ribosome, the protein synthesis machine composed of proteins and RNA, as the original self-replicating entity. This model supposes the abiotic synthesis of both simple amino acids and nucleosides, the building blocks of proteins and nucleic acids, and some kind of random polymerization process.

If such random polymers were able to assemble into something like the ribosome, that structure could plausibly start replicating itself using the abiotic pool of free amino acids and nucleosides. This is somewhat different from older 'RNA world' theories in that it involves both amino acids and nucleosides. Abiotic synthesis of these precursors is fairly plausible.

Hey — MIT has a course on edX on biology for beginners! It looks fascinating.
At that point the employer could ask for a reduction... The situation is symmetric.
Explicit getter-setter lenses and profunctor lenses are not quite the same thing, although they happen to be equivalent in Haskell. For example: the getter-setter encoding only works when you have diagonals (~ copying data).
Terrific, thank you. That is to be the project this coming weekend, though I wasn't expecting problems.
I see. Mine was a 2 XL. Probably not the same exactly
You can see a video of this in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Tk1H5C4xI&t=39s (at 39 seconds in).
Tesla is a private company, Musk firing people is not the same thing as a community self-organizing and gravitating towards moderation that suites them, it is literally one elite person making decisions for the entire rest of the company.

I personally believe that freedom of association is an important part of the First Amendment and while I think that Musk has a thin skin and is abusing his power to censor his employees, I also think he has the right to do that. But at the same time, it's ridiculous for anyone concerned about public censorship to compare entirely personal blocklists to firing someone from a company or banning them from a place of business.

Musk has (some) right to censor people at his companies and he has a lot of right to choose who he does business with, but I also have the right to call him a hypocrite whenever he waxes poetic about censorship ruining people's livelihoods, as if your boss firing you because of a Twitter post is somehow worse or in any way different than your boss firing you or denying you severance pay because of a public blog post.

> And no, it doesn't really mean "then Twitter is right to ban everyone because they are private" since we're far from being in any kind of free market.

If you think that Twitter should have different rules because it's big, then the answer to that is to either break it up or nationalize it. Certainly, the answer to "this thing is too big to be bound to the whims of one elite person" is not to privatize it under one elite person.
So, synthesizing your reply here with your reply to @mjlbach, it seems to me like you are attributing to the whole LSP ecosystem (by saying things like "LSP is a buggy mess") (1) problems with treesitter, and (2) problems with clangd, one LSP server implementation.

I feel like if your comments' utility to the conversation would be greatly improved by prefacing them with something like "in my experience with clangd, treesitter and neovim".

I say this because my experience with LSPs is the polar opposite of yours[0]. While I believe there's value to sharing our personal experiences, I think we have to be careful not to present our personal experience (especially with (neo)vim setups, which tend to vary wildly from one to the next) as representative of the whole ecosystem.

[0] I also have nothing but praise for most of the LSPs I've used (clangd, typescript-language-server, rust-analyzer, clangd, pyright, css-language-server, sumneko/lua-language-server, of the top of my head).

Agreed. And I think it's useful to look at your compensation longer term rather than comparing it with inflation every single year. There are going to be big moments (promotions, switching companies, etc) where you get a large jump in compensation that far outpaces inflation. And there will likely be years where your employer didn't budget large enough raises all around to match inflation. It's fine if that bothers you enough to look elsewhere, but it's also worth zooming out and looking at the graph of your compensation compared to inflation - which will look like a bunch of steps compared to a relatively smooth line. There are certain teams I've been part of during my career that I've enjoyed working with far more than average. If, one of those years, I got a measly raise, I still would have stayed in place and enjoyed my work and not minded taking a smaller step. Then, eventually, when another catalyst for job change appeared (the project was ending, bad management moved in, etc), I would look for something that gives me a nice big compensation step to take (don't do this for too many years in a row though).
This is just inflation
If you look at (at least one) of the recent articles (try AP or reuters), the board mentioned that the deal is still subject to both shareholder and regulatory approval. That's where it is. Shareholders still have to vote, and the concept of "fairness" will be roughly equal to that of democratic elections. Sometimes the majority votes for a thing and the minority has to accept it in order to make progress.

The board basically voted to stop standing in the way of the deal and submit it to shareholders themselves since they confirmed that A) it seems like an ok deal and B) it's likely to not waste everyone's time.
I didn’t think this would be possible for a EU citizen(?) Are you originally a US citizen and you moved to the EU?
I like the idea of separating shitposters from trolls.

At some point I've noticed that shitposts can follow an earnest troll, somehow detoruning it, and making it different, and therefore neutralising it to some extent. It's still unwanted, but in a low cost and toxic environment as the article suggests, it's a way to survive.

What would be a HN shitpost? Perhaps an overlong comment combining topics about freedom of speech, how the site sucks on mobile, and some kind of opinion about apple.
Does deflation occur? If yes, I am not too old to see it I guess. And one can argue that the company should be the one asking for pay reduction in that case.

Also I agree about "find a new job to get a higher salary" thing. Then I witnessed the company struggling to find a good replacement etc. Are these people really dumb, or is it something else going on that I can't see.
That one resonated hard with me too. I make music purely as a creative outlet that isn't my job, and because my job is on a laptop all day, I've deliberately chosen to produce music purely on iOS so that I can have that total context switch. I release stuff on Bandcamp, and recently on streaming services too (apart from Spotify), but I'm releasing it mostly as an ending, like waving your kid off to university or something - I'm not releasing it for anyone else. However, having said all that, I get enormous joy from hearing one of my tracks being played by a DJ I've never met on the other side of the world.
What assets are losing value because of inflation? I thought cash is the only thing losing due to inflation, and debt is one that wins.

I swear the things you read about macroeconomics is all just contradicting each other.
You may have to call your carrier and have them change some things. I had trouble with AT&T a couple times, but then they had me turn off the phone, sent some data to it, then turn it back on. All good now.
Frankly, you don't these days.

You job-hop after 1.5-3y and end up getting a nice 15% or higher boost to your salary.

As a converse, when they replace you, they'll have to pay higher market rates. Thats because businesses do the same to employees as customers: the longer you stay the more they'll charge you (or the less they'll pay you). They do that because you're "captive". They count on you on being 'sticky' and not have the wherewithall to actually change.
> It's installing a pkg file, takes about a minute and it is a one time operation you will never really need to do again.

Typically I have to do it once a year, because the kernel extension seems to break with every new macOS version.
If those are the only criteria, then I think it doesn't fit.

When I still live in the UK 6 years ago, IP addresses were rarely fixed, and changed everytime you connected. In fact, people paid extra to get a fixed IP.

I guess it's a bit of a grey area though, since sometimes it fits, sometimes it doesn't.
Ask for a more stock option heavy pay package with less base pay. Stocks generally perform better than cash in inflationary environments, but of course they carry risk as well because of their volatility.
Another option is that the Fed stops printing trillions of new dollars out of thin air.
It appears so, for now. Apps can be updated to support IPTables to eBPF wrappers, though; you'll have to see if the developer(s) behind AFWall+ will be able to get that to work. This isn't just a LineageOS issue, it should also cause problems for anyone running any other form of Android 12.
Policies distancing devs from being serious players started after the T20 scandal, when a dev was giving T2 Blueprints to certain players (and these blueprints were worth a loooot) but were probably too strict.

I used to be experienced enough that I had more than a dozen accounts and probably a couple thousand dollars worth of assets. And I run an ingame business that I still manage. And yet I'm nothing on a corp or alliance level, so the average employee could be more engaged without getting into dangerous territory.

You can get a bunch of new browsers from scratch. You just have to completely redefine what a browser is. Heh.

The issue is that "browser" now is code for a specific type of complex operating system that runs inside of another.

That should be split up again, and also reset to content-centric networking (such as IPFS).

- View information: just need something like markdown or RST. The Info browser

- Simple applications: web assembly with framebuffer, audio and mouse/keyboard input. Media browser

- Complex applications: Web assembly plus every device I can think of. Web assembly plus a flexible pluggable and granularly permissioned device driver system. Extended media browsers.

Nobody said his taste was 'wrong'. I don't even know what that would mean?

I'm saying he'd get more out the tool by learning and embracing the design of it, rather than wishing it was something that it isn't. Go with the flow, rather than fighting it. Reduce entropy not create it.
Vue TermUI: Building Terminal Apps with VueJS
Exactly… I see the point people are trying to make, but new browsers aren’t that interesting. New browser rendering engines are.

It great to have Edge, Brave and other, but they provide very little of interest.
I believe a good measure that you have enough confidence is indeed when you have no problem with asking stupid or obvious questions. If someone judges you for that let them reiterate problem and alleged solution. They are able to do that perfectly then and onus is on them in that case.

It is too costly if people are afraid to speak up in meetings since problems get hidden and remain unsolved. Even with tight deadlines everyone has these two minutes.
Unfortunately it seems LineageOS isn't available for most (if not all) common budget/mid-range phones in my country.

Does anyone here have experience in porting AOSP/LineageOS to an unsupported device? Any suggested materials and resources?

It was not branded as a Verizon model, but it seems to have the Verizon behavior of carrier unlocked, bootloader locked (and not unlockable).

Just put on a mail first.

Hi, [their name].

I love working for [company name], and I'm excited about the future of our team. As you know, we're a small group of passionate people who take pride in our work, and I'm grateful to be part of this family.

As you also know, inflation rates are rising, and it's becoming more difficult for me to keep up with my basic needs. I've been here for three years now, and I believe that my skills have grown considerably since joining the company. With this in mind, I'd like to ask that you consider matching the inflation rate moving forward, starting from next year.

I'm aware that you already gave us a raise this year. However, as you mentioned at the time, that raise was based on performance reviews and not pre-emptive of future rates. I understand that it's difficult for companies to predict economic trends—but as a small business, I think we can both agree that flexibility is one of our greatest strengths! Don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything else I can help with in terms of making the case for an increase.
The protocols on the wire are different than what's documented especially for older SMB servers - Windows "released documentation" on some of the protocols because they were being reversed, but the docs are flakey or incomplete.

The actual transfer operations are pretty straightforward, but the negotiation steps are _very_ intricate and the Microsoft docs about the protocols are less than honest at times.
That clearly proves me wrong, fixed.
What do you find non-intuitive about the Finder? This is a serious question, not a troll or anything.

IMO it hides less about the disk layout than Windows Explorer does, but "it's better than Windows Explorer" is a low bar indeed.

"don't get me started on the Magic Mouse and it's charging port"

I use that mouse every day and I've literally NEVER needed to use it while charging. It warns me with ample time and charges insanely quickly. I get a warning? I'll plug it in when I get a coffee or over lunch. End of.

The other thing that nobody seems to pay any attention to is this: The current Magic Mouse is pretty much EXACTLY the same as the prior AAA-powered version except for the battery and charging. I'd bet folding money that one reason they went the way they did was that it allowed them to make zero design changes outside the area that USED to hold AAA batters, and now holds the rechargeable battery and port.

This means they could do a rechargeable version without a major redesign -- which would've been required. The whole upper shell of the mouse moves down when you click, which means putting a port on the front wasn't going to work.

But, again: it's 100% a non-issue for me. I don't actually know anyone in real life who has trouble with this.
I have a history of being hung up about my perceived importance about making art/entertainment in a world saturated with it. Which is kind of inconsistent given that I don't lend a greater degree of importance to most other things, but it's just the unshakable sensation that yields when I rationalize what to do. What is flipping things a little is focusing on desire for "flow", or enjoying mastery, that I do not want solely tied to my vocation. I also have a separate but similar itch, which is to work with my hands with no cognitive overhead. I don't feel an obligation to create (to "be human", for pride, validation, etc) nor am I particularly creative. However, my sense is it can satisfy wants where passive consumption falls short. Probably I could be just as satisfied if I obsessed over a sport.
