It always fascinated me how basically two quarks, one electron and some bosons can create so much chemical complexity.

The Cultural Meaning of Shitposting
People have built homebrew monochrome CRTs. The process looks surprisingly easy.
Well done and thanks for sharing your experience. Having written my own book a few years ago I can truly say job well done and congrats on a huge milestone. It's no small feat. As you hint in the blog post, writing a book is a full time job to get it done and also requires working a second full time job to pump up the marketing around it.

Then, once it's out in the world, comes the job of maintaining it and keeping the momentum high. A slog to say the least and often times very demotivating. So, from one author and self publisher to another, congratulations! You should be proud of your success.
> But it is total garbage when compared to the Ivies.

Well, the Ivies hold more status and better social connections because they're where the people in power went, but I'm not convinced that means the actual quality of education necessarily has to be worse. I for instance went to a public university which is commonly hailed as the world's best university (or "one of the best" depending who you ask...) for journalism. The closest Ivy competitor is maybe Columbia or Brown. Admittedly the electives were garbage, but the journalism education really was top-notch.
> only the archiving complaint.

Only partially: to other archiving services, a shortened URL from this shortener which also happens to be an archiving service is the same thing as if the shortener didn't provide archival.

The only solution I see is that archive services resolve these shortened URLs when they archive a page and archive the result with it. The second best and probably more reasonable solution is that they maintain a directory (mapping) of shortened URLs to real URLs assuming the mapping does not change.

But one can see it's rapidly a mess right?
If you go for any of the "in Pictures" ones, I'll gladly help. I've been working out on a similar thing.
Most devs aren't learning Ruby anymore, so if true (I'm skeptical) that sounds like it could be a problem for many organizations (perhaps not yours).

Hiring only people who are already experts in a given technology shrinks your talent pool in an already-tight market, and training is expensive (time and/or money).

I am literally never able to install my household name desktop apps that I use daily on Mac, when I try Ubuntu, without the thing crashing my whole computer. It’s insane.
If you use it like a calculus textbook I can see it working for first contact. But most people won't do that, which makes it not suitable for a "first contact" introduction. It's superb for people who have some prior experience and can read it in a choose-your-own-adventure way.
While it's a good reason to choose macOS or Windwos over Linux it's not a valid criticism of Linux because they can't do anything about it. It would be valid criticism of Adobe. Like I said the list of the posted article is about OS features and explicitly not about third party software
> Russia - quite predictably - responded by announcing a relaxation of copyright and piracy laws.

Did they? I mean it in both meanings. Did they ever enforced copyright and piracy laws in the first place? And did they relaxed what laws they have last two months and did it changed anything?

Edit: Instead of downvoted me, I would really preferred if someone argued back here. Ideally by showing me source where they learned about relaxed copyright laws. Or any kind of analysis that shows these were taken somehow seriously in Russia.

With the trend towards ICs, you can get far using by learning to read datasheets, source parts, design and order PCBs, solder, and program MCUs. If working with high frequencies (RF etc), you'll eventually run into trouble with interference, at which point it makes sense to reference a text or course.

If you'd like to peak behind the epoxy curtain, or design ICs yourself... then you need to dive deeper.
Public companies have to follow a lot of rules, and have a 'fiducary duty' to shareholders. The rules are annoying and expensive. But the real downside is the fiducary duty. It opens you up to lawsuits, and it means you are legally required to care about your stock price. This can prevent you from making decisions that would drop the stock price. Relatedly, the shareholders can (with lots of difficulty) prevent certain changes being made by changing who sits on the board. This limits what you can do in general.

Going private removes many of these limitations, allowing much more flexibility. Going private does mean you can no longer go to the most liquid market (the public market) for extra equity financing. And of course you need to buy out all the shareholders.
Electronics manufacturing is way more nasty than most people are willing to admit. The idea that solar panels are "good for the environment" always makes me cringe a little.
Have you personally used OSXfuse/sshfs? it really sucks to get working properly and set up. I had it all working on my x86 laptop finally then upgraded to m1 now it's back to being broken again.
So the definition in the article, “a chain of edges that passes through every vertex exactly once”, is incorrect?
I think this both misses the point and is incredibly insightiful at the same time. A cover of a known song may be better (it happens!), but you'd never claim you heard the original song if all you listened to is the cover.

A dub is like a cover, agreed. Almost always, a terrible cover. I can always tell when I incorrectly set the language on Netflix to something other than the original -- you can immediately tell it's a dub because of the drop in voice acting quality. English dubs are particularly terrible, it's like the voice actors are emotionless drones, and when they try emotion, they use it in all the wrong places.

Besides, it's disrespectful. An actor/actress is not just their face and mannerisms. It's their voices, too. The voices are an essential part of their acting (if you are deaf, you can't help missing them, but if you are not, unless it's a scene without speech, you're missing a key ingredient). Saying "ok, I'll replace his voice with this other voice, and his face with with this other face I like better.. you know what? I'll just edit him out of the movie and replace him with this other actor I like better!" is way too scifi and post-cyberpunk dystopia for me. It's just disrespectful.

I cannot honestly say I watched a movie if I watched it dubbed. I watched a cover instead.
The way I understood "was only lightly documented" was they were blaming themselves like "we didn't put much work into it and didn't document it very well".

Sounds like maybe PTP?
Manufacturing OLEDs is vastly more complex than CRTs, which is essentially folding and welding sheet metal and glasblowing.

I'm pretty sure one person can make basic CRTs in their shed because that's pretty much how early CRTs were made.

Of course really good or very fast CRTs are a tad different, but the fundamentals (i.e. electron optics) are still used in various places, so it's not like we've collectively forgotten how to shape an electron beam. Tektronix also published tons of literature about stuff like this.

> What is the easiest display to actually make?

Discounting electro-mechanical displays, I'd say VFDs.
This is significantly more than what the US has given Ukrainian military, which has been enough to stop the Russian military.

Having used the Hololens I have a hard time believing it's that useful, or useful at all.
Probably something is broken/fragile in the build for that particular image and the maintainer doesn't have a lot of time to fix it.
>So it seems like reducing battery cost is not going to get EV's to mass market. Am I missing something here?

Cost per mile is much lower for EV than ICE, and the electricity bill decrease as the share of renewables will grow into the grid mix (to incentivize off-peak charging). Maintenance is much cheaper too (almost no moving part, million-miles batteries and motor, no fluid except wiper, fewer brake change thanks to regen…).

The initial cost may still be high but with financing, it's easy to imagine a much cheaper plan for EV vs ICE.
Number 1 for me is definitely "Control which audio device an app is playing to, without that app having to implement an internal picker"
Have you paid someone / some support to fix them?

It's reasonable to have unfixed bugs for years if they are not really blocking many people (and even if they did, but that would be too bad). Maintainers are focusing on other things that need to be done (or not, anyway nobody is supposed to fix bugs for free if they don't want to).

In this case, launchpad works as intended, as a place were you can track the (non) progression of your bugs.

Me too, probably, by the way (in other projects). My bugs reports are more like FYIs to the community.
I like the writer, he has a level of self awareness that many idealists lack.

Even the theoretically pure anti-establishment shared-living hacker-squatter self-reliant punk that few open source contributors aspire to be are benefiting greatly from living in developed countries.

Ignoring the absurdity of relaying on hugely complex public infrastructure to access the internet (Sea floor cables, satellites, cell towers, etc) the abundance of food, healthcare, transportation, supply chains, education, and personal safety practically unprecedented in any other era have birthed and supports these anarchist lone wolves.

He talks about another level of reliance on power structures that those that want to break these power structures ignore and will ultimately lead to their extinction if gone.

I do not know if the new "World Order" is going to look like he predicts, but if it does I think it will indeed spell the doom to Open Source like he predicts.
I'm willing to accept your argument that a Mac is not a general purpose computer. It then begs the question of why these devices are so popular for software development...?
> Every time I have to remove avahi, cups and like 10 other things which breaks the whole damn thing

I don't get it. You're removing services manually and complain it breaks your system. Why remove them then? (For extra irony, avahi is there to support Apple's Bonjour and cups belongs to Apple - I don't expect you're turning those off on your MacOs, right?)
I used to run lineage, but every time there was a major version upgrade I had to reinstall, which was annoying. So I reverted to stock OS.
Has that changed? Can it upgrade between major versions now?
Did they send you back a Verizon phone? Verizon Pixels have locked bootloaders due to Verizon's own policies. They say they are "unlocked" but they only mean carrier-wise. Source: Owned a Verizon Pixel 1 that I sold due to it having a locked bootloader.

Anecdotally, I purchased a 4a 5g from Google with a dead headphone jack. My replacement also had an unlocked bootloader though I think it was also new.
It's like skeuomorphism, a bit... Wikipedia summarizes the big pieces at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeuomorph

This is essentially what is happening in the percolation case as well.
From my perspective it's a feature, if I were to switch to a phone like this it would be because I wanted my phone to only do one thing handle important communication. No apps, no internet, no texting, phone calls only. That said, I could see having both a regular smartphone and a phone like this. In that case I would treat this phone as a private line only given out to a small number of people. That would allow me to leave my regular smartphone off or at home if I felt like disconnecting for a while but I would still be reachable by phone call through a distraction free device.
Honestly that constraint is pretty straightforward to formulate as a MILP. Four machines, each has a starting and ending time as decision variables. Total duration by machine <= 100 hours, and add non-overlapping constraints between the machines. Each machine's start time >= 0, each machine's end time <= 168 hours.

I'm doing almost exactly this right now on a client project (I consult in supply chain optimization)

By the same token you can't travel into the future because it doesn't exist yet.

If you're arguing you can only visit a point in time when some kind of 'clock' is showing the same time then you're begging the question w.r.t to time travel.
gvfs-sftp counts as native to me if you're using a gnome desktop. The author is using a fullfat gnome distro like Ubuntu, so it's probably even preinstalled.
> I think the ship has sailed and we won't have a new browser from scratch any time soon.

I think the big mistake is that we let the HTML spec get so complicated that it's essentially become Google's platform. Although it's technically open, it certainly looks and smells like a monopoly.

How do we fix it? Maybe someone could make alternate rendering engines that use Canvas and WASM?
I'm curious, Lineage OS is an Android derivative, correct?

Isn't Android mostly isolated in its enclave?

> Fully agree on the typechecking. That's probably part of why LISP is so under-represented in commercial software projects.

Yeah after a friend re-introduced me to lisps, and I watched the original SICP classes along with some other things I got really into lisp and started building things in Clojure/SBCL (more so clojure).

After trying lisps my next foray was Haskell and now I can't imagine.

It's like a bad after school special -- Haskell, don't even try it once if you want to go back and live happily in untypechecked land. Now I have to have at least Typescript.

I know. I've been wondering if there's a way this complexity could be buried in the GitHub action for dprint (https://github.com/dprint/check) so people would only have to specify that and everything would just happen, but I'm not sure it's possible at the moment. Caching seems to be limited to needing to use actions/cache (https://github.com/actions/cache)

Mac users eagerly recommend importing Linux tools (Docker, Brew) to make MacOS a tolerable dev environment. But they completely miss the fact that Apple makes it illegal to do the reverse: I can not run a MacOS VM on Linux.

I can't understand the mindset that makes that kind of company behavior acceptable or the tradeoff worth it.
can @dang coach twitter moderation team, like "how it's done"?
Depends which ones you bought. I had Philips CFL's which lasted forever, but cheapies which would die in a few months.
I think a new word or phrase is in order because a new dynamic exists (a sufficiently quantitative difference equals a qualitative one) where this sort of thing doesn't just happen but is characteristic of today's web.

But I think I see your point. It's a phrase that can be used lazily and in bad faith and itself contribute to degraded discourse.
Wrt audio:

What any pulseaudio or pipewire-based desktop can do, is to route streams from separate applications to separate devices. You can have one application playing into your headphones, second into your speakers and third streaming over bluetooth to your soundbar. Never managed to do anything similar with Mac (also I never explored any 3rd-party apps to do it, they might exist, but with PA/Pipewire, it is built-in).

You can also mark some devices as not to use - i.e. DisplayPort advertises audio out, but the monitor has no speakers? So does your dock, but you don't intend to connect any speakers to it? Easy, disable that device. Not so easy on mac, just be sure to never select it for output, there's only one global output device anyway.
Not sure, the page has since been updated. Thanks for providing the links (and having the logos link to them.
Also, wind mills are for milling grains using wind power. And weather forecasting has many different levels of quality to it. I can't speak to your local capabilities but there different services that you can ascribe to.

In terms of internet needs - there are many reasons that renewable assets need internet connectivity not strictly forecasting and it isn't unreasonable to be able to get secure connections.
CBC and Symphony for open-source MILP, Gurobi for commercial MILP. OR-Tools for some VRP work. I use R (ompr package) to interface to CBC, Symphony, and Gurobi. HiGHS is looking promising.

To my understanding, CPI does not weight amounts purchased, only general prices. I'm happy to be corrected if that's mistaken. Without the amounts, it's a linear combination of "we're being shafted" and "we can substitute those things left out of the CPI with some ease relative to other types of good." Income + substitution effects and such.

Your personal inflation is probably not 15% if you're not buying the exact same bundle of goods you purchased last year. Higher, yes, but if you substitute away or choose other options you're probably not expending exactly 15% more than last year.
you don't. You just leave.

You don't want to anyway. OSX is slow without hardware graphics acceleration.

EDIT: I've hit my comment quota, here's my response: You don't need OSX for that, just their headers and libraries. People have built the build chain for Linux but it's useless without those and they cannot be redistributed.
No, I didn't mean to imply that. I've also used it more recently on a Pixel 4a and it was better than the out-of-the-box experience IMO.
I know its super hip to hate on C++, but how is adding one keyword to make a function compiletime evaluated "spaghetti mess"? Because it's C++ and its hard?
You can install apps from Play Store through Aurora store without GSF.

But I agree with your sentiment.
A lot of people in public firm tech have effectively normalized not just large RSU grants but the assumption that they'll significantly rise in value. Twitter may, depending upon the agreements and Musk's wishes if this goes through, pay out unvested shares cash equivalents on their current schedule at the acquisition price. But there will presumably be no further rise and no further RSUs.

Presumably the treatment of unvested shares is somewhere in all the acquisition legal paperwork because it would need to be accounted for.
you can search the web for "dead men's switch" or simpler, ie. in gmail, set schedule and change it every month.
