I think they are incompetent and seemingly ignorant as well (which appears to be the thrust of this article), but "They don't know how to use this obscure thing that the overwhelming majority of users will never do so they removed the capability" isn't arguing for either incompetence or ignorance, really. It's just saying you aren't the target audience, which is true.
i have an open water cert and dive 4-6 times a year. it's fine for just myself, but if you have a higher level cert like rescue, then you may be asked or expected to assist others in emergencies.

thankfully, most places are very careful not to take cert cards from unfamiliar faces at face value.
Out of the box I can’t get used to it. I tried fedora 36 for 2 weeks with Gnome and ended up switching to KDE Plasma.

I’m constantly trying to find extensions to simplify simple tasks or make it usable and it’s frustrating. Tons of extensions are old and broken and don’t work anymore.

Visually I don’t like KDE Out of the box but I don’t need to install anything.
It's probably fun for OP in the same way leveling up a character in an RPG is.
I remember many years ago, Google internally knew that one of the only signals obtainable from CVs was the negative signal from number of certs. I don't think this knowledge was actually used for anything, it was just a correlation, but yeah it's sort of an open secret in the business that the sort of people who get lots of certifications do very badly when asked to demonstrate actual technical skills.
Cutting the wires and letting a torpedo run in active homing mode and find and select its own target has been part of submarine warfare practice for decades.

We tolerate it because there aren’t generally a lot of civilians or even friendly fire risks in submarine engagement environments.

Is there any way to style GNOME 42 to look more like GNOME 41? For me 41 was one of the best desktop UIs I’ve used and I’m not a fan of the new flat design of 42, light mode looks really nice but I find it really difficult to distinguish between UI elements in dark mode.
I only use the CLI (because I learned git before GUIs got useable), but my mental representation of branches and commits is *graph*ical, and most of the git user guides and tutorials I see use a graphical representation to communicate git concepts. I imagine it would have been easier to learn git's functionality if I had an interface to git that was closer to my mental representation.
If the reason is a faulty heart, replacing the heart makes the reason go away.
Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Do I really need to point out to you how many animal species and potential reservoir populations there are? It's impossible to sample all of them, or even enough to be sure there is no such reservoir.

One potential explanation could be a commercial mink farm somewhere in China. The virus is very affine to mink, mink can infect Humans and Humans can infect mink. If they were the intermediate host or "reservoir" there is no way of ever proving it, because those mink are all dead now and I doubt there will be enough samples left to detect the Virus somehow.

The author might have a point, but the article is thin on details.
Informally speaking, the idea of the free software movement and the copyleft specifically was born as a response to fundamental conflict between a business environment that in its ultimate goal wants to have a full control over the software and independent individual creators who just want to be free in creativity and are fine to share their work with anyone who also follows these principals in some way.

The members of the movement are also quite often criticizing Copyright laws. While I agree that the law is not ideal, to my vision the Berne Convention foundations are on the individual creators side. Fighting against Copyright, in my opinion, is a shooting yourself in the foot.

I'm not a big fan of the FSF and other similar movements rhetoric because of this(even though, I agree with some points). If creators just want to share their work with other people, and they don't care about the business "plutocracy", they can offer a License contract that would simply restrict the work usage by individuals only. It could still be a free of charge License that would allow even commercial use of the work, but the License should grant permissions to individuals only who are not representing a 3rd party interests(a business in particular). Such License is not a FOSS License in common sense, but in my opinion it could solve the initial goals laying behind the FOSS movements true intentions.
All the functionality they removed was done in free time too. It’s literally more work to mess with them than just leave good enough alone.
You can build a transaction and sign it in Bitcoin without sending it though. It just that they weren't ready for that, and probably were not interested in doing it that way either.

I like gnome, and been using it for years. It's been a bit of an adjustment at first, but after I used it for a couple weeks I got hooked up. Every next version is better in some way, and Gnome 40+ is not an exception. It might be that devs are not entirely consistent, but considering how much I paid for it, I still got quite a deal

Its the least worst desktop environment on Linux.
Its usually pretty fine out of the box on a 12" laptop, but on a desktop machine with multiple monitors, a bevy of extensions are mandatory to make it as quick & efficient as a desktop UI should be.
> I find people are religious about being git cli purists and only interacting with it in this black box (the terminal)

Git cli purists are probably cli purists in general, not just for git. And for good reason.

When you work with the cli/terminal, you aren't bound by what the creator of the GUI decided should be built.

> I often suggest git CLI purists to get something like git kraken and just use it as a visual dashboard. Watch what happens when you run git commands. You can see everyone else's remote branches and have a much better idea of what's going on than you can without it.

There are git commands for displaying whatever information you want, capable of drawing nice trees and whatever complete with everybody else's branches.

> It's so easy to create a new branch before I do anything that if I think something might go south, I just hard reset to my previous state (a branch I created right before the operation)

Duh! That's what git is for!

And when you say "It's so easy to create a new branch" I'm genuinely curious to know how you've been creating branches before you discovered the "state of the art GUI tools that change the game".

Huh? Isn't Cloudflare CDN free forever? Is it because its hosted through a Worker?
Hmm, but have there been any other pandemics that started close to a lab researching the kind of pathogen involved in the pandemic? Funny you should ask. There was this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Russian_flu

By “came about the same way”, I’m assuming you mean “by zoonotic transfer”. But the 1977 Russian flu pandemic is now widely believed to have been a lab leak, or a vaccine trial that went wrong.

So your claim is false.
Now that is a good thought. Probably good to use an intermediary though and start at maybe $20k to leave room to negotiate. You never know...

And I'd add to that: Be reasonably consistent. Don't be belaboring what a microprocessor is and what it does in one sentence. And then throwing around jargon like registers, branch prediction, and hyperhtreading in the next without any explanation.

One thing I miss writing for the web is that footnotes don't work very well. When I was writing research notes, I really liked footnotes for--among other things--providing some parenthetical detail about technical terms and the like in a way that didn't break up the flow. Unfortunately, on the web, footnotes generally break up the flow more than just adding the detail inline.

Care to share some extensions that improve GNOME workflow?
It probably would have been better in the long-term to rebrand to a non-dictionary .com

Yestimonial.com is for sale and I bet for less than that .io.
Your example actually made me think of the opposite situation lol.
FINRA Series 57, not only because I learned a whole lot or because it’s useful outside of my industry (derivatives trading development) but because it was a regulatory requirement of employment :-). But seriously, I did learn a lot about the wider finance world outside of the little bubble I sit in. It was also quite hard, it covered a wide range of topics that I had no prior knowledge of.
I'd really like to know what mess people make when they don't rebase.

I've found that using merge gives a readable trail of when something was merged, whether that be from a branch's original branch, or if you're merging into another branch.

Rebasing just seems to cause a lot more headache when something doesn't go perfectly correct in between commits.
I like GNOME.

The hate is practically a meme at this point. It makes me wonder what people need a desktop environment to do. Most of the criticism seems to be that it's not Windows or macOS
> The UK is sick and tired of this and has recently begun moving to ignore these onerous rules. All power to them.

I don't think so; the UK passed the Data Protection Act 2018 just 4 years ago, to bring GDPR into UK law. That is: the DPA is normal statute legislation, unlike the GDPR itself, which is a bureaucrat-made regulation. The DPA was passed by both houses of Parliament.

So what are these mysterious moves to ignore the law? The only such moves I'm aware of are some plans to remove the European Court of Human Rights from UK law (ain't gonna happen - the ECHR is written into the Good Friday Agreement), and the UK's decision to ignore the decision of the ICJ concerning the Chagos Islands.
Interesting take. the 2nd Amendment explicitly protects the right to “bear” (i.e. carry) arms…
Wait, what? Explain please.

OK upon further thought, what you're saying is to use the pg_dump tool that comes with the pg version you are upgrading to.

I read it as "use pg_dump instead of pg_restore"...
Yeah, I think the AWS ones are a good one to have if you're a dev.

I don't think they're incompetent. I think they're operating under the assumption that GNOME is going to be popular. The majority of people primarily or exclusively use mobile touchscreen UIs, so mainstream popularity requires that everything be dumbed down to suit touchscreens. In reality, this will most likely just drive away the users who prefer more powerful UIs without giving the mobile users any compelling reason to switch.

But this isn't even necessarily a sign of delusion or incompetence. It's plausible that the GNOME devs know it's a bad idea, but they have to do it anyway, because without the possibility of mainstream popularity there's no good reason for IBM to continue funding it.
Great article! One of the first I’ve ever seen that breaks down the complexities of the bee problem in a thoughtful, reasonable way. The slew of articles we’ve seen is the last 5-10 years about the ‘Bee Apocalypse’ were largely either highly misleading, poorly researched, or just plain biased by one agenda or another. It used to make me really angry. I’m sure I could dig up past rants I’ve made about it here on HN. Very nice to finally see a detailed objective explanation of the situation.
Love how attacking GNOME devs who work in their free time gets top HN of the day. If you don’t like it, roll up your sleeves and submit a patch. If you can’t do that, go find another desktop.
I love it!

I get it, not it's not for everyone. But the amount of bad press it gets is hard to understand.

I had a similar awakening moment about 5 years ago. Felt like I wasted my 20s on consuming content and only playing video games outside of work.

I had a similar journey. I’m even writing a book on it.

I have found that the one thing that has helped bring enlightenment to this problem is reading books and thinking each day on how to apply them or just simply observing those around me instead of being glued on a device.

I’m a bit further in that journey than the author and there are some great premises out there about the damage tech and our fragmented attention causes to our lives.

There are even great titles mentioned in this blog bringing awareness to them, but some of the more old and interesting perspectives are those of Thoreau(Walden) and Emerson(Self-Reliance).

While there’s a number of titles talking about internet or tech addiction, all we're doing is pointing out a problem rather than taking actual steps to improve our character to rid ourselves of these things to begin with. This problem is only going to get harder for the individual, and it’s up to each one of us to battle our own battles. No amount of reform will solve it for us.

Second trimester abortions, except where medically required (in which case they are legal in most European countries) are also very, very rare.

And this decision is arguably the canary in the coal mine; note Thomas’s concurrence. Things could get very, very dark in the more right-wing US states.

Not if the US Navy stops caring, which is the whole point. If there is no military to step in, piracy ends massive cargo ships, which ends the current immense economies of scale in shipping.
Yeah, this writing is just rude and unproductive.

I hope this being on HN doesn’t make more people believe that communicating like this is a good way to get attention.
Very different contexts.

Before human heart transplantation was available, you could pick someone with severe heart disease but otherwise in good condition as a test candidate. It was entirely ethical; they'd die without the transplant anyways.

Now that we have viable human heart transplantation, you have to pick sicker patients as candidates - people who wouldn't survive even if they got a human heart transplant. Giving someone who'd survive with a human heart an experimental pig heart isn't ethical.

It makes sense that the failure model would be different.
I read this so long ago, but nothing else I've read has used the very medium of language to communicate character development so effectively.
> Eliminating federal protections for abortions annoys the left without hurting the right

I have to assume you mean emotionally, not physically. Conservatives have women in their lives who will suffer and die from legal interference in the process of pregnancy and childbirth also.
Hmmm.. Cloudflare’s free tier can’t handle an HN hug? Kinda surprised about that.. not really a great advertisement for their free tier tbh.

These historical successes are encouraging, but it is very important not to extrapolate any of them to anthropogenic climate change. The processes underlying every single one of the examples in the SSC article operate on time scales of years or decades. CO2 causes effects over centuries and persists for millennia. It is a completely different beast.
I made this shell script to save them in a text file with title and tags and I can search with fzf. The nice thing is that I can open urls in specific software.

That’s very cold comfort. As an unsecured creditor you’re back of the line among creditors in a situation when there manifestly are not enough assets to pay creditors
It could be your fault or a misunderstanding on your part. I'm my dealings with lawyers it's always been that any concrete things are dealt with in written form. Things like hearing dates, requested information, etc...

If you have something in writing, even an email or text message from the old lawyer saying the hearing date was set, but they never set it then you have something you can use. If there's nothing in writing then it becomes the he-said/she-said scenario and likely nothing to be done.

With something in writing you might have a case of malpractice against the lawyer and you report the incident to the state bar. Lawyers are officers of the court and as such are held to a higher standard than average people. Failing to provide adequate legal counsel is one of those things they are held to.

This may apply to your current attorney because if you have something in writing then they shouldn't be advising you too drop it. As far as your old and new talking together, if it's about the same matter this would be normal. Actually all notes, communication, etc... That the old lawyer had should be given to the new one. Because that information is yours not theirs.

I'm sure if you stopped paying the street sweepers, you'd find out that a lot of them don't care about sanitation, and the rest can't pick up the burden. That's why they get paid.

Even then, I'd rather have one of those motivated by cleanliness service my area. Just the same way, I'll choose a forum that's not monetized.

I don't see how that sentence means that funding is needed. Plenty of forums exist with community moderation. Whether the person doing the work is compensated in respect and social connections, or money, doesn't really make a difference to me.
You're not. I really like Gnome and how it gets out of my way.

Most of the time complaints about Gnome boil down to "It's not behaving the way I think it should" and that - to me - is not a valid criticism.

People love to hate and Gnome is very prominent, so it is going to get hate and heat.

Let's take the linked article for example. What's its main topic? "Windows management".

You know what? It's 2022 and I don't want to play "Window manager" anymore. I want the UI to do that and you know what? Gnome does that for me. I got code to write and bugs to fix - I don't want to waste my time managing windows.

But hater's gonna hate - what'cha gonna do?

Honestly it’s not a bad framework to strive for in a workplace. Introduce the ‘zachtronics test’ as a modern version of the old Joel test.

Give your workplace one point for each of the following:

1) you create acceptance tests for features before coding them

2) you have metrics that provide immediate feedback on how a feature performs

3) you have a system for determining the technical challenge level of each feature

4) you allow developers to tackle problems at the level of technical challenge they are comfortable with, so they can develop mastery before moving on to more tricky problems

5) you let people play card games between projects

6) your workplace has a striking and coherent aesthetic, complementary soundtrack and a compelling storyline

My first introduction to git was ... well, the professor's solution to not having a place to upload. Given that the vast majority of the students involved had done almost no programming before, it didn't go so hot. I managed.

My first "production" introduction to git was really about someone polishing their resume and chanting magic words at me. Merges ... happen? Who decides whether Bob or Cindy's code is used here? It just happens okay.

Then I bought some books on git and was pretty unhappy with how arcane the naming was. How is "reflog" the correct and intuitive choice for "undo"? Was there something I wasn't understanding? No, I'm just supposed to accept that.

Thankfully, my current programming gig is simple enough that I don't have to look at git. Either eventually sanity will come to the naming of commands or something else will appear, just as it has for every other tool.
