I'm listening to people lie to me all day about productivity.

Remote happy hour, garbage. Remote school, garbage. But somehow remote work is just dandy.

> There is plenty of energy currently out there, currently being wasted for decades, that would cost more to store, and cost more to transport. (...) While proof-of-work can (and does) use it directly on the spot. These are often remote, low infrastructure, areas and so unlike other computationally intensive things, such as a data center

this remain almost (or completely) theoretical, vast majority of POW wastes perfectly fine energy displacing productive use
I had it crash consistently on linux on startup, which as IIRC was something to do with the initial splash screen and was fixed by manually setting an option. Other than that, I've had it crash a couple of times when exporting, but I think that was the OS desperately reclaiming memory on an under-powered machine.

Can't help with comparing it to kdenlive.
You could use it as a photo frame, smart home controller (webbased interface) or perhaps just as a netflix device(for the kids?)
Government is quite attractive for most workers in terms of benefits, security, and workload.

I think the bigger issue is not overall compensation, but the lack of performance based compensation.

Guaranteed pay increases, no bonuses, and seniority based promotion means there are few incentives to actually perform or have an impact.

I have several smart friends who are state/federal employees and they love their jobs. They don't mind so much that the programs they work on are fundamentally flawed or grossly inefficient.

Find a workshop manual for your car and it will be drawn inside it. Because car is more-less a faraday cage, there are coax cables [0] going from ECUs to antennas. Some ECUs, like eCall have also backup GSM antenna integrated, but you will see the PCB antenna just next to GSM / GPS connector. On VAG cars it is usually easy to remove as well.

So you like to be in the office. Many don't. Is the work getting done? That's what matters. What does office culture mean in practice?
Humans can have just as overzealous a response as those robots. In my senior year of high school, I developed a bit of a fascination with historical serial killers and turned in an assignment for AP English exploring the mindset, and my teacher promptly turned it over to the school's counseling service, and I was forced to see a counselor, questioned about violent tendencies, given a 0 on the assignment, and a C in the class. This was the same semester as the Columbine shooting, so I guess schools were on edge about students who might want to kill other students, which I definitely did not want to do, but apparently writing about people who want to do that kind of thing can easily be misconstrued as autobiographical. I almost didn't graduate because of that. Heck, one of my friends was expelled for possessing a switchblade comb because things that looked like weapons were banned. There was no appeal process for these infractions, either.

Honestly, that seems like a feature of many administrative processes, even those administered by government. So far, in the process of trying to become licensed as adoptive parents, my wife and I have been dropped twice now by licensing agencies, without any explanation of why or recourse to appeal the decision. As far as I can tell, the only way to gain the right to appeal a decision is to actually be convicted of a crime.
But with that position any spec is useless.
The biggest problem I see with cryptocurrency is the transaction rate problem. It’s not like attempts haven’t already been made to solve it (Bitcoin Lightning), and Dr. Green fully admits that it’s not certain that any currently proposed changes can solve it either. How long is the world supposed to wait for reasonable transaction rates on this technology? If this is truly like the early internet, they should have vastly improved over the past ten years, and should definitely improve over the next five. But as far as I know they’ve been basically static throughout the technology’s life so far.
I've no idea why so many people expect completely different Unix-clones with completely different origins that simply share one component between them, which they also all heavily modify, to somehow give up their own identity and merge.

It's probably simply because others all call them “Linux”, but they rarely even call themselves that. One cannot easily find the word “Linux” on the websites of “Fedora” or “Ubuntu” for instance and they simply call themselves that.
That’s if you knew someone who would invite you!

If so, that's a stupid strategy. Russia can easily defeat the US's strategy by leaving Ukraine.

Are you sure of that characterization that the UK was the poorest member when it joined? That seems incorrect. The UK has always been one of the stronger economies in the European zone.
I don't understand why L2 systems are even necessary. There's a relatively well known email exchange between Nakamoto and Mike Hearn in which Nakamoto says:

> The existing Visa credit card network processes about 15 million Internet purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale much larger than that with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost.

If the original design of Bitcoin anticipated Visa-scale transactions for a fraction of the cost, what's the motivation for a L2?

I'm assuming Nakamoto wasn't being cheeky when he wrote fraction of the cost. Afterall, 1000/1 is a fraction...
I think the 100 door example is good, but is often not described in a way that was intuitive to me. I've added bit that I found very helpful.

The entire trick of the game is that Monty opens 1 (or 98) of the remaining doors. That is because it is completely irrelevant to the odds, but has big impact on the contestants perception.

It is not obvious, but Monty actually does two separate and unrelated things:

First, a step that basically goes unnoticed, is to propose a new game to the contestant in which the contestant opens either 1 door or 2 (99) doors chosen by Monty, rather than the original game which was to select 1 door out of 3 (100). Obviously, the new game gives them the chance to make a choice that has 2/3 odds (99/100) versus the original game whose odds were 1/3 (1/100).

His second step, which is typically the only step noticed and which very effectively misleads the contestant, is to open 1 (98) of the doors he selected.

The result is that clearly the 2nd game gives the contestant a definitively better choice, but this is obscured by the fact the contestant only sees two closed doors, so they believe they are comparing 1 door to another, and thus only have 50-50 odds.
Unfortunately, when it comes to nuclear Europe's (excluding Russia) basically in the same boat as the US.

Consulting the current list of nuclear power plants under construction around the world by a pro-nuclear power group here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/current-and-fu...

I see the following as the only ones still under construction in all of Europe (not counting Belarus and Russia): 1) Mochovce 3 in Slovakia. Construction started November 2008, originally scheduled to complete in 2012, now hopefully complete later this year, so 15 years total, 10 years late. 2) Flamenville 3 in France. Construction started in 2007, originally scheduled to complete in 2012. Hopefully complete in 2023, so 16 years later, 11 years late. 3) Mochovce 4 in Slovakia. Construction started November 2008, original scheduled to complete in 2013, now hopefully complete in 2023, so 16 years total, 10 years late. 4,5) Hinkley Point C1 and C2 in the UK. Construction started in roughly 2008, originally expected to be online 2022 or so ("early 2020s" is the best I can find with Google now, and that's for both C1 and C2 to be online). Now C1 is expected to be complete in 2027, and C2 in 2028. So 19-20 years total, 6 years late.

(The US has two reactors on the list, Vogtle 3 and 4, started in 2009, originally expected to finish in 2016 and 2017, now expected to finish in 2023.)

I suspect that Europe's success in building rapid transit, compared to America, is due to the fact that they were continuously building such systems, whereas the US largely hasn't, so there is no cohort of engineers and workers who learned-by-doing and get better over time. But in nuclear, those workers seem to have gone in Europe as well- you can see from this 2020 chart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France#/media...) that France built almost all of their reactors in a giant lump between 1970 and 1983, built a few reactors later in the 1980s (presumably late career work from the people who had built so many earlier), and has found building a new reactor to be really hard, e.g. Flamenville 3 is just as big a disaster as Vogtle.
Usenet was probably still useful for some time after the Eternal September--especially if you mostly stayed out of the alt. hierarchy. But it definitely declined as access became more widespread.
The complexities at different levels of the hierarchy are so qualitatively different that I doubt whether a unified set of abstractions could ever be practically useful. We're going all the way from CPU microcode to loosely-coupled distributed systems with multiple dependencies on third-party services. If you want to make any progress you'll need to narrow down your focus.
Yep, this is how I always wrapped my head around it. You’ve got a 1/3 chance of being right, and the host is effectively offering you a chance to bet against yourself. That’s a 2/3 chance.
Carbon migration problems during forging if i recall correctly. So steel is out of specs. How badly will certainly remain secret, like most things in this industry.
A toxic culture resistant to change can obtain these results no matter how brilliant/skilled the people.
It does not sound plausible that all of this engineering, required to make these systems even viable in the real world (and, we hope, preventing it from eventually demanding approximately as much energy as Eastern Europe, despite the weak incentives to actually accomplish that) is the best, fastest way to lower transaction fees for the working class.
10X programmers are definitely real, but can only exist in specific environments. So much of the programming scene on a corporate level is about keeping everything scheduled and regimented, and not producing high quality code
> same kinds of people who shout at city governments to keep subsidizing sports arenas

In San Diego, we had a stadium which had hosted 3 Super Bowls. The NFL team owner arranged for multiple referendums on the question of city subsidies for an improved stadium in a San Diego location he preferred. These votes failed. Then the owner moved the team to Los Angeles.

American fans: You can loose the bonds of subsidy to teams that believe they can get anything and be paid to take it.

Out of that list, OS and browser itself are the only one that couldn't be done in the browser in theory. Yes, even robot assisted surgery systems, although that kind of disturbs me a little too. You could just do the GUI in the browser and the actual hardware control in a real time scheduled process. But even then, what's stopping some sort of WASM real time scheduling type extension from being created?

The rest are gradually moving towards the browser as performance issues get fixed, e.g., WebGPU, WASM, etc. It's going to take time but the incentives still strong to gradually try moving whatever can be put in the browser in the browser, and to keep creating more web extensions to enable any remaining roadblocks.

In the long run, the OS under the browser, the browser itself, and real time/embedded type code that runs on hardware too constrained or critical, are the only things safe from being swallowed up by the browser's world. The modern browser platform is like what POSIX or the JRE were meant to be, except it actually worked.

I'm confused.

The number of stranded motorists has climbed since the COVID lockdowns, naturally. But the most recent number is still smaller than the amount in 2019 before the lockdowns and gas was cheap.

The article tries to infer that higher prices are making people drive past the Empty line, but the graph doesn't reinforce that.
Lots of "intuitive" explanations of the problem shared here, but here's one that works for me.

You pick door A. The hosts says you can either keep that door, or instead pick both doors B & C. If either one of them has the prize you get to keep it.

You opt to switch. The host opens B, which turns out to be a goat, and then opens C.

Regardless of what C contains, it's obvious that switching was the better option.
The choice happens after the door is opened. If in this variant you are allowed switch to the revealed prize door, you win 100% of the time the prize turns out to be behind the door they open. If you aren't allowed, you lose 100% of the time that happens. So that new "branch" doesn't affect any decision you could make.

But given they do open a door with a goat, the probability is the same as the regular Monty Hall problem. So the parent's point stands: it's not the host's knowledge that makes the game "work". He's leaking information by not opening your door, thus "concentrating" the 2/3 chance it wasn't behind your door into the one remaining door.
It's a lot easier when you have:

- substantial social services that don't directly require individuals to have disposable income and aren't tied directly to employment

- humane policies for vacation days in general, and

- national holidays for things like election day.

In the USA, we teach our children that civic engagement is important, but then corrupt politicians at all levels make civic engagement as hard as possible, abetted by moralizing reactionary conservatives.

No wonder Americans are generally cynical and don't participate in politics.
I'm not sure what the form of government has to do with long-term, unintended consequences deriving from parents regularly choosing the characteristics of their unborn children. Would we have more or fewer: engineers, artists, short people, quirky people, homosexuals, religious people, etc?

Every default KDE install I've done comes with a default theme that is hideous and looks like it is designed by amateurs (I realize this is subjective, but it's also a fairly common complaint).

However, I always hear people sing the praises of its stability.

Yep, having been around for Usenet I don't find Reddit all that different. The main difference is the moderators I guess. But for all the stodgy work related groups on Usenet it was the alt.* groups that caught fire. Reddit is much the same, there are subs for all kinds of serious moderated technical discussion still. Those aren't the popular parts but they weren't popular on Usenet either.
Really disappointed #dadb0d didn't make the cut.
This has more to do with the fact that if you make an electric startup, you get subsidies and if you make a combustion one, you get only penalties and eventually shut down.
I don't see it as boycotting something, I see it as a creating a market segment. Like electric cars or organic food, we just need to find a way to spread the message that FOSS is better for people, even if (at first) is less convenient or more expensive.

As others said, don't forget to breathe, and pause accordingly.

Also, a nice trick is, if you can, to try to outline your point before making it.

Given a tricky question, if you can at least answer the question by a general "well, there is this part of the problem, and then, there is that part", before going into any details, you've probably reinsured the interviewer that you have a clear idea in mind.

If you don't have a clear idea in mind, well, at least you know what to prepare for next time !

Also, it's a bad idea to have "memorized" answers in general - except for some specific questions, like your"personal pitch" ("what brought you here", "tell me about your job history", etc... You can't blame your interviewer for expecting you to be ready for those.)

Good luck in all cases !
> How do you cope when you are onboarding people?

Coming from an org which is de facto remote and also growing rapidly, one thing that helps is comprehensive, accurate written documentation. It's available immediately as needed and from any location, good for remote, but also it prevents critical information from staying implicit/siloed and cuts down on interruptions/time burden on key technical people. This is useful beyond remote work re: bus factor, productivity impact of being interrupted to answer the same common question to a different person, etc.

Typically technical onboarding involves working through the relevant docs until hitting questions/gaps, then meeting with the person who knows the things and editing the doc as part of that meeting
Hibernate is all in the kernel. You trigger it by writing to a file in /sys. Your DE choice has nothing to do with this.

Most things on Linux are actually like this, where everything is in the kernel or some other small project and the DE just adds a wrapper GUI (or sometimes a management deamon) and really has absolutely nothing to do with how the thing works.

And thank goodness for that because all of the popular DEs use terrible window managers. I wouldn't bother with X11 if those were the only functional choices.

Also some people (like me) really don't mind tearing but can't stand an extra frame of latency when we're typing. It's nice to have options since no one agrees on everything.
Usenet was not driven by advertising, so it wasn't constantly pushing "click bait" and other unsolicited nefarious content onto its users. You could spew all the dumb misinformation you wanted to in your newsgroup, and it wouldn't leak into the more sane newsgroups (unless someone crossposted).

yeah but microsoft/apple/google are sole owners of the interface and dictate the one interface. there is no such thing in foss, which is a good thing. if gnome 3 was somehow forced to be the gui on linux, I would absolutely stop using linux.
The killer feature that would make me use this would be EWS/OWA support. I have used davmail and evolution to access my work email this way and very few clients seem to be able to do this. Emclient is probably the best but stopped working presumably due to changes on our end so no great windows solution currently for me.
