Honestly, I have one. I put KDE Neon User Edition (based on 20.04) on it (a somewhat bad choice, as it does not ship a virtual keyboard by default yet, GNOME is generally better there), and it installed just fine.

Touch works, the Pen works (with pressure sensitivity) rotation works, WiFi and Bluetooth work, Standby (deep sleep, I put to sleep for 8 hours and it only lost 5%) works (including wake-up).

Non working: Webcams.

All that OOTB, without switching to a special kernel or similar. If that’s "shitty unsupported tablet" in your book that's ok, but in my book it's pretty cool and way better than what I've seen on my last ThinkPad (L380 Yoga) when I got it, where standby wouldn’t just work.
IMHO, EU is a good example. However, it’s limited in both scope and area. Which is a good thing IMHO.
There is a thing called Topographical Disorientation [0].

Totally not saying you have it.

Could it be on the autism spectrum? I do not know.

I have always been very bad at navigating. Remembering a location takes others 1-3 visits, where it takes me 8-12. I have actually counted.

I am extremely bad at navigating to places and even at remembering the directions to previously visited locations.

I do not have ADHD, I can focus for long. I have always been seen as very smart. Good academic results, good pay, good at solving problems, working on the edge of things. Good at math, programming, writing, performing arts, and socialization.

I am saying these because I do not know if I have any deficits. But I always am bad at navigating.

There is one other things I am (very) bad at that other smart people are good at: chess. I have tried loosely, but any non-player 12 yo can beat me after playing chess for three months.

I am good at everything a smart person can be good at. Not at chess. I totally suck. I can learn new things bery quickly. Yet, chess and navigating beat my ass to a pulp.

I might have Asperger's, although never diagnosed. I have high empathy on the parallel.

I personally think these all are somehow related.

If you have a plan that will solve corruption in this way, try it on some existing states.
Mars? ;-)
It's a convenient excuse. The reality is that the admins are continually clamping down on subreddits they don't like, without any justification or consistency.

For example, one is left to wonder why /r/drama was forced to shut down because the admins considered them a nuisance, yet left-leaning subreddits engaging in vote-brigading and other equally disruptive behaviour are still around.

I'd be remiss to claim that it's purely a left vs. right thing. But if the Aimee Challenor debacle was any indication, they have a clear list of people they like and people they don't like. And if they don't like you, for whatever reason, they eject you from the platform without any recourse.
No, we humans are different. We don’t need one single entity telling all of us what to do. World government will just exarcebate civil wars.
I can't be bothered to use YT anymore with all the ads. They're basically interactive, on-demand, corporate TV monetizing other people's content and nothing more. The world needs a co-op video sharing app and a microblogging app.
Yes, the article tried to give the vague impression that recycling is expensive, and then admits that metal recycling would increase the social good and should be subsidized.

So it's not 'expensive', it's expensive not to do it, no matter how much that total subsidy comes to. In fact the higher the total subsidy the more we save. (Not coincidentally the same applies to CO2, carbon fees are the economists solution to achieve higher efficiency by subsidizing alternatives)

Which must be hard for a contrarian libertarian to admit, so the fact that he does so in an article about how bad recycling is, is very telling. I mean he's just told us that mining communities don't like this idea, it's just stupid rich liberals from the other tribe who want a more efficient economy, now he's telling us to use tax money to put miners out of jobs, for the 'social good'? That we should tax landfills to reduce their use and incentivise alternatives? What kind of hippy talk is that?

So, back to SSC, he proved that trash wasn't going to pile up, which he dubiously claims is the original, false reason given to recycle, by linking to an article and saying "recycling didn't work and never caught on", but the article says it saves money and we should do it for that reason.

His source literally calls for a pigouvian tax on landfill use. To reduce landfill use. So he proves trash wouldn't pile up and we'd never run out of landfills, by citing an op-ed by a guy who thinks we should disincentivise landfills? Where is the logic here? Maybe people wanted to reduce landfill usage for whatever unstated reason his source has for wanting the same thing and believing it was economically optimal?
Not OP, but I have faced this same problem since long before GPS became ubiquitous and I had access to it in any form.
Neither of those are governments, the UN is a forum for discussion and is very much needed if not always enormously successful.

The EU isn’t (obviously) global, but has actually been pretty successful. I actually think it’s a pretty good model, but the emphasis would have to be more on global issues such as climate change than trade.
Default subs are doing this. It's one thing if a small sub does strange things, but if a massive sub that explicitly recommend by Reddit acts like this (for years now!), it sends a pretty clear message.
So it sounds like we need multiple world governments operating over the same area rather than having a bunch of monopolies around the globe.
My C# story: We were a Visual Basic 6 shop, writing COM+ components being called by classic ASP pages. Microsoft .NET had just been announced and we spent some time doing an evaluation between it and Java (JSPs and Beans) - our brand new CTO was concerned about Microsoft technology being a monoculture and felt that Java would allow us to pick from several competing vendors so we could be using the best of breed[0].

We spent several months doing a technical comparison. And in the final meeting they went around the room getting opinions from everyone. All but one chose .NET (the dissenter was: "Whatever you think, boss"). The CTO said "That settles it. We're going with Java."[1]

So we spent hundreds of thousands on Oracle database licenses (because if you're changing languages, might as well change databases too, right?) and consultants to write a prototype. When they were done, it scaled to a grand total of two concurrent users on the fastest Compaq servers we had. While our existing VB code was serving about two hundred. Again, mature technology vs. immature technology.

I've been a big fan of C# since then. While I think the latest changes to the language and runtime are mostly eye candy (how hard is it to have a Main method, really?) there's some good stuff in there (I spent some time looking at System.Threading.Channels recently)

[0] The idea isn't bad, but what happens in practice is you get about 2 top-tier vendors and a bunch of also-rans.

[1] When choosing a technology stack, the CTO will pick what they want and everyone else's opinions are secondary. I think this must be a corollary to the "When a business moves, it's always closer to the CEO's house" rule.
One issue with corn is that it is planted in rows, and leads to soil erosion. Soil is difficult to replace!
> Are you suggesting the farmers are criminal?

Yes! Enthusiastically, with vigor!
Given how ubiquitous that type is, wouldn’t the four-syllable word “dictionary”, once written down hundreds of times, be prone to semantically satiating any discussion and code base?

Besides, you could argue it’s not exactly the author’s choice because `dict` is the actual name of Python’s dictionary type.
I just use Zotero for bookmarks. No need to worry about deadlinks (seemingly charged for in this app) as a copy it taken at time of ingestion.
Thanks for training our model folks. We’re gonna charge $10 a month for your work but hey, here’s a one off $550
From time to time I do spend time with Haiku in a VM. To be honest, it's not a fantastic experience... though I want to emphasise that I don't mean this as any sort of insult or slight to the dev team of Haiku. I suppose the reality is that it's pretty amazing they've gotten as far as they have, without being able to freely use the source code from BeOS, which in my opinion is hugely disappointing because no one was willing or able to anything with it in a proprietary or commercial sense.

I view the collapse of Be as story about the many failings of the broader tech industry and the irrationality of the dot com bubble and not in any way an indication of the technical merits of the BeBox or BeOS.

Anyway, Haiku as it is today is kinda like what BeOS was back then but obviously incomplete in several really important ways. Meanwhile the world has moved on and I do everything I used to do in BeOS (and more) with Linux. Though I do wonder what BeOS might look like now had they not collapsed back then.
"It seems obvious to me that planetary problems demand planetary government."

That does not seem obvious to me at all. And I can't imagine a common set of governing principles acceptable to Iceland, China, Russia and the Taliban.

For example, looking at what is currently rocking the U.S., what would be the global policy on abortion?
I'm a senior dev with 25 years experience. This happened to me at Blackfire.io. All of my reviews were glowing from day one and my boss loved me until suddenly one day, he calls me at an odd time of day looking shaken, to tell me that my performance has been bad since the day I started (a year prior). When I pressed for specifics, all I could get him to say was "You haven't been stepping up enough." (despite the many innovations I added, including one that changed the turnaround time for a specific task from a full day to an hour). When I asked how I could improve, he said "We'll talk about that later." 2 weeks later I was fired. It was an illegal firing under EU law, but I wasn't in the mood to go through the annoyance of the legal system so I just moved on.

This was about a month after I balked when the company tried to take ownership over an open source project of mine (which they never ended up using because it also by necessity has very dangerous code to be able to do its thing).
Some of us have "too good" navigational skills. When bicycling Australia I started to bike "West" from Brisbane airport and was very confused when I ended by the ocean. I had to think very hard wherefom the sun shines and what the compass says.

Happened thereafter several times, my amazing internal compass was obviously totally based on visual cues like on which side the moss grows and other such shit.
Very neat, I love it, I used to have a tool to do this but it's been ages and is now unmaintained.

Just be sure to do input santization, since if someone else uses your code it could go from a very cool project to a backdoor that ends up on the front page for all the wrong reasons :-)
Stop using GPS, as others have said. It isn't that GPS isn't useful - but you need to use it just for research, and then put the burden on yourself to memorize and remember what GPS tells you.

I'm old enough to have learned my way around before GPS. I would study maps of the area where I live, and I would explore - walking, biking, and driving every road in my area. These days, I still study maps online and also look at satellite imagery. When I am going somewhere new, I use Google Maps to recommend routes, memorize them, study them and what I will pass by, and then attempt to follow that route from memory. GPS is always there as a backup if you need it, and the little wrong turns and getting lost that happens without it tends to show you even more of your area. Eventually, you just know where everything is, at least everything within a few dozen miles of your home.
People just aren’t that smart.

Yes. We would like to have a group of super smart people who can tell us what to do and we can just do that and everything will work out great. Unfortunately, such people don’t exist.

Sorry, you’ve got to figure it out for yourself.
> CTC creates a Merkle-style tree...

You call it Merkle-style tree despite the fact it is obviously a DAG?

Edit:

> Large changes are also more prone to outages. If we land them outside the working hours, there would be limited resources to mitigate potential outages. To prevent this, we ended up asking engineers to get up early to deploy these changes

Huh, landing changes to HEAD and releasing to production are not decoupled?
it's pointless and I don't see what to love about it
Highly upvoted accounts are more valuable and can be sold
Build time has always been essential, even more so important since the wide adoption of TDD

Picking a language that has fast build speed, allows you to be more flexible, and able to test and deploy quicker

They had Go, wich builds very fast, but they failed to educate their developers to maintain a healthy build pipeline to avoid things getting too slow

This kind of developer will cost your company millions, make sure to educate them properly ;)

I'd never work for a company with slow build speed, part of the reason why i refuse to touch languages like Rust and C++, due to their insanely slow build speed, i refuse to live in a world like that
It is an odd parallel that this happened on exactly the day Roe v. Wade was overturned in the US.
Then you should be in favor of abrogating decisions to the states and reducing federal power.
Thanks for sharing this. It was an important watch for my wife and I.
Abortion should be a human right. All countries that don’t respect that should pay huge fines. Thanks for giving that example.
I love DOP, and I loathe OOP.

But when you use a framework that enforces OOP, it's quickly difficult to use DOP.
It's amazing to see big company can throw so much engineering effort into it, while for majority of the CI users, just getting a 2x faster CI machine can achieve the same outcome with much less cost.

To be fair to them, we resemble that remark.
No thanks. If you thought the grift and corruption within national governments was bad, this would put it on steroids. People claim to like democracy, but when they aren’t getting their way they want to rig the system or add yet another layer to it in hopes of “fixing it”. No. What we need is better people. Better technology. Better practical education. Etc. If men were angels no government would be necessary.
With the amount of terrorist attacks that have been conducted in subway stations, especially in London, it seems quite irresponsible to publicize these.
The story of the Buddha ’inviting Mara to tea’ stuck with me. It involves more embracing of fears than “just worry”, but probably does take more emotional investment.

> I think it's important to realize that many people don't enjoy it either but just use it as a social grease to move into more deep conversation or connection.

I disagree. I'm like the author, but I do make sure to always listen when I'm with a group or if I'm around people. And either they're really good at hiding the deeper conversation, more interesting from me, or they just tend to smalltalk for the sake of smalltalk.
I used to think that global government would be a good idea but I now realize that this was incredibly naive.
Now that I understand human nature better and how the worst aspects of human nature tend to concentrate around the centers of power, I cannot think of anything more dangerous than a world government.
I actually advocate for the opposite; break up existing governments and make them smaller; no government should govern over more than 5 million people.
Having lived in some small sovereign nations (with 500K to 1 million people) and also some big nations with over 70 million people, my feeling about big countries is that people are essentially treated like livestock.
People get used to it, but coming from a small nation, it feels very wrong. People living under such powerful governments tend to adopt an overly compliant mentality and to some extent lose some of their humanity; it gets replaced by a kind of fear and apathy.
Why would agribusinesses object? (Curious, not disagreeing.)
I usually don't consider something to be a good deed if more money is spent promoting the deed than cost of the deed. That's kind of my threshold.

I often see that a corporation spends e.g. $1M on a marketing blitz about a $50,000 donation, or runs some campaign where consumers need to do something for some very nominal donation somewhere.

The cynic in me also looks at this as a bribe. Someone who got a $500 gift is much more likely to stay on github. Do that for the top 1000 projects, and you've stemmed the flow to gitlab.

The cynic in me became a lot more cynical when github started selling my own code back to me with copilot.
Look at the code for the one he’s suggesting. It’s the same essentially. One is just more upfront about giving its visitors a clear understanding. Taken out of context I can maybe see what you mean, but like come on, it’s not an effort to keep up is it?
On extremely shaky ground. Had Roe v Wade not been decided as it was, there would now be legislation.
Interesting from a locksport perspective. ITRW, a criminal would defeat any mechanism by just drilling it out because it's like the farm with a heavy locked gate but no fences meme.
Is it a coincidence that both have “Objective” in the name?
It depends on the specific subreddit. It makes some sense that the largest subs would succumb to eternal September, but there are plenty of small niche subs that haven't.

I agree though that just about all changes made to the reddit website itself have been for the worse. Perhaps the story of digg.com will play out again?
Is Meat That Bad? [video]
In all the unpickable designs so far, various (potential) attacks are enabled by the ability to manipulate parts connected to each pin/disc/etc using tools held in the hand. So why not make a lock where the mechanism can't be touched at all?

For example, one that is unlocked by inserting a key consisting of only a blade and no bow (handle) fully into a slot before operating a mechanism (separate from the lock mechanism) that, in order:

1. covers the slot through which the key was inserted,

2. slides one wall of the slot aside to reveal a bank of pins that then come into contact with the bitting of the key,

3. if the key is a match, enables further operation such as movement of a deadbolt.

The mechanism is then reversed to release the key, which is ejected like a floppy disk / SIM card. Since at no point are the pins exposed to air from the outside world, it becomes impossible to actively move them or probe them for information.
Holinshed's Chronicles
This is a poor article with little applicability outside of Uber. There's a reason it's gotten no comments the previous three times it was posted.
(Theoretically only, just opinion, not fact of course by any means) Mods could potentially get paid by building popularity of their sub through reposting popular content that gets upvoted. They then could charge other users and sponsors for prime placement and promotion within their subs all arranged possibly offline. Reddit normally collects money off the activity through the ad revenue generated by page views and ad loading, and through sales of ads purchased by platform users... It may not seem like a lot of money until you really understand how much traffic the site gets, and how much mods and corporate on reddit can control and even script what kinds of content makes it to the top/front of pages.

Also there's always old payment methods where crypto/NFT/digital payment services or even a bag of cash can be used under the table, though nobody can or would want to prove that of course, and of course it's not presented as fact because I have no stake whatsoever in reddit nor desire to see it made less skewed like it used to be in the past.... I've already given up on it myself, long ago when they banned me for no reason and took my sub.

Look carefully at each video you watch on any platform from now on for what products, slogans, and logos are placed in them, and the links/comments that are posted in the comments. There is advertising going on in the majority of reddit posts for something, even if most people don't know it. A lot of the time, even the music used in content is often being subtly imprinted across multiple sites so that it becomes an ear worm as a low-key psychological marketing tactic.

Many major companies are putting out completely engineered "low budget" home videos as ads, they're no longer marking paid ad posts as sponsored, and companies are regularly hiring the most popular and trusted creators to inject subtle advertising cues into otherwise organic looking viral videos. I'm pretty sure that most of what we see on social platforms with paid advertising options now is either staged/funded/enlisted/sponsored production, bot driven content, or low key psychological marketing. This does not include HN based on what I've observed, because they don't sell ad-based post boosting (as far as I know).

OC creators struggle often in futility to break past algorithm ratios just to be seen by small audiences if they don't have massive sums of money to pay for advertising for each post they make on each platform. Getting to the front page without the right funding may be damn near impossible by now, fair enough though, there are a lot of other users competing against you that have copied your style, branding, and/or content, so "F" it, maybe we're all doomed/
What do you mean? Nothing is perfect but the EU has been a net positive for its member states. It is approved of by a majority of its citizens across all countries. The EU created one of the most prosperous (for the common person), free and tolerant societies on earth.

You can make all the snarky remarks you want, but if you were reincarnating right now as some random human and you learned that you reincarnated as a citizen of the EU, you would probably sigh in relief.

In my experience, the strongest criticisms of the EU come from outsiders who would prefer to impose their views and preferences on how Europeans should live, and on the role that Europe should play in the world stage -- a more subservient one.
Because that's true. When American democracy is no more, and a republican administration has denied any other political party from holding political office, remember that no one cleaned house in the American right wing, and let everyone slowly turn into the fascists.
It's not particlarly powerful by modern standards. The processor in question is an ARM Cortex M33, which is available with single or dual 32-bit cores, at clock speeds of 150 to 240 MHz. But when Doom was first released, a typical PC would only have run at 66 MHz.
don't bother opening it, tried on mobile, whole screen has some grey overlay without close button making reading extremely difficult, had to block it with ublock, such website doesn't deserve any readers
Besides 8chan there was Voat (and other Reddit clones). Some of the larger subreddits like /r/drama,/r/the_donald, and /r/fatpeoplehate splintered off to their own websites.
DAG doesn't seem like a useful identifier here since seems like a DAG encompasses many different types of trees, and in this case the specific data structure is closer to a Merkle tree than a generic DAG.
