I do use other desktop environments, and making them feel like home feels futile when a significant portion of development effort is focused on building Titanic-like projects such as Wayland or Flatpak. That's mostly the same reason that I can't recommend it to other people, there's no way to tell everyday people all this stuff with a straight face. The year of the Linux Desktop feels like it's been postponed indefinitely while we shave a bunch of redundant yaks. GNOME wants everyone to live in a world where they have two package managers and download multiple gigabytes of redundant runtime dependencies that shouldn't need to exist in the first place. Our overall community focus should be towards delivering robust software that works with live USBs, natively-packaging and Flatpak. I fear that we're heading down a pretty horrible path where people will build fragile software that links against even more esoteric runtime requirements, creating software that's completely unusable unless it's running in digital life support (aka, Flatpak).

I despise Windows, but even downloading 10x 100mb C++ redistributables is better than having 5x 1.5-2gb GNOME runtimes. Nobody deserves to live in a world where that's how their software is delivered, it's a travesty. Even Apple doesn't hate their users enough to do this, not on MacOS and not on iOS. They had the dignity to make actually stable APIs that software could target, so they don't have to live in this virtualized hellscape that we've built for ourselves. Everything GNOME tacks on to the desktop Linux experience makes it increasingly feel like that 4chan image macro of the GNU/car (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDEORUBWAAENKFC.jpg). At least, that's how it feels when you have to explain to someone that screenshare isn't working right now because you're "logged in to the wrong desktop session"...
My bet is that the stack in VPP is even faster.
> Adding millions of electric cars in a short time would be a problem for sure, and it would likely lead to coal and gas turbine power plants as those are cheap and quick to set up.

In LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) terms new coal plants aren't cheap, in fact they are much more expensive than solar and wind [1]. New combined cycle gas plants are cheap, but the global natural gas price spike has changed the opex situation considerably, so LCOE will trend upwards.

EVs are actually a great match for intermittent renewables since they provide their own storage, and are therefore time dispatchable. They are also usually charged overnight when wind is typically available and demand is lowest.

I'm convinced that GitHub has basically turned into social media at this point. Using it you just don't feel like it's somewhere you should put serious work on with all these bots, random useless forks, yolo achievements, etc. It's a shame it's the most convenient way to collaborate on code right now.
not interested unless it is about the 80s indie pop band
Can you please recommend some readings?
I like what you describe here...! I haven't been in Linux-land for awhile as I got a new Windows 11 laptop recentlyish and haven't put Linux on it yet, and my work laptop is Windows..

But for my new upcoming job they should be sending me a Macbook. Does the latest OS X have a workspace concept? If not is there an free application that can implement workspaces/desktops on OS X?
I don't know much, if anything, about Brexit — but certainly Economist isn't the only publication that's been bearish on Brexit. I'm interested in reading someone that's bullish. Is there coverage of Brexit that you prefer?
Interesting. I use w3m inside Emacs for most of my web-browsing, and am posting from it now. I do hate having to switch to Brave for so many sites these days (though it's been a good motivator to avoid those sites). I'll definitely give this a try to see if it can help close the gap. I especially hate how most of the sensitive stuff you might want to use the web for involving PII or money requires the more insecure client.
Hey was created by Basecamp.

Sort of the opposite of a startup.
Just Rockbox. I’m using an iPod Video as well. Then I set up the bookmarking and startup settings to suit. It’s very customisable.

I also generated “talk files” to voice the filenames.

My Walkman is an NW-A45 upgraded with custom firmware from www.nwmods.ml.
In particular, Project Farm does an edge keeness (BESS) test for all the things. This test is almost entirely testing the edge geometry rather than the knife itself. If you resharpen the blade to be thinner, it will get a higher BESS score. A butterknife will roll into a useless edge after just a couple cuts due to the soft steel, but will score incredibly well on a BESS test because the blade stock is already so thin.

A more accurate review would focus much more on things like whether your knife steel will chip easily if you apply lateral pressure (a lot of high-edge retention steels do this, but will last practically forever between sharpenings if used well) or how long will this steel hold a working edge? ("D2 takes a lousy edge and holds it forever") or "will this knife rust too easily in my profession" (rustproof steels like o1, LC200N, and Vanex exist, but tend to be on more specialized knives and generally make other tradeoffs). Can I sharpen this knife without spending a ton of money on diamond sharpeners? Is the knife comfortable for long cutting sessions or are there hot spots? Is this knife going to be a bit small or large for an average hand? Do the pieces fit together well and are they milled well? What kind of locking mechanism is used and is it one that works well for me (especially in gloves)? Is the blade shape and size designed for my kind of cutting tasks?

There's thousands of radically different knives not just because of personal preferences, but because the changes make a difference in how the knife performs at different jobs.

If you want general knife reviews on youtube, Metal Complex, Nick Shabazz, and Slicey Dicey are probably the top three. Cedric & Ada is a great reviewer if you're interested in knife cut testing. Advanced Knife Bro is great if you like a more sarcastic style. They have something to sell, but Knifecenter has some pretty good content too. If you like Swiss Army Knives (or are in a country like the UK that mostly bans the good knives), Felix Immler literally wrote the book on using them for bushcrafting.

Larrin Thomas' site knife steel nerds (and his book) is a must-read if you're interested in the really in-depth knowledge about steels and how they relate to knives. His new supersteel (MagnaCut) is doing really crazy things in the knife world at the moment. Science of Sharp also deserves a shoutout for some interesting work on microscopic images of various sharpening techniques and steels.

Be warned that an "all-arounder" midrange, drop point knife will be $100-250 and it may be hard to buy just one.
FiDi wasn't bad when I lived there, just very dead at night, but not much crime like there was down by civic center
They really tried with the hydrogen vehicles, and I think the Japanese government encouraged it as a matter of environmental policy.

Now they are scrambling to build battery EVs and whatever lobbying they are doing is a stalling tactic, because they know they need time to catch up with their competitors.
My cars are all older than that and they are still pretty awesome.

Subaru and a Highlander. Not particularly valuable but they get the job done for my family and I for A-to-B.

Outside of Silicon Valley, I see a lot of old cars on the road.

It's unfortunate that regulators have largely overlooked privacy in smartphone apps amidst all the other concerns they have over such platforms.
XCOM more than any other game taught me to weigh much more heavily the consequences of the downside, even when it's unlikely to happen. Be in a position to maximize the probability of success, take the shot, and have a backup ready for when it all goes wrong.
It takes me approximately 8 minutes to go roundtrip to the closest grocery store to me. 5 minutes if I can get what I need at a bodega-y place (so no produce, but still milk and snackfood).

What about that is a hassle?
There is still even at current levels something like 1 pub for every 1,600 residents in the country.
At the large tech companies I've been working at, there are many different big data engines that speak different dialects of sql (presto / spark). People write SQL queries in one language and want to run it in another, but it doesn't just work, there are many parts of the query that need to be manually changed in order for it to run which is tedious and error prone.
I had to write a little VB to maintain a legacy codebase at my first job. VB is long before my time, but at least from my perspective at that time, it was just a gross language to me. Who on Earth would rather have to end a function block by typing out "End Sub" instead of a curly brace? And case insensitive naming? I don't remember much else about VB, other than the immediate and visceral reaction that I needed to find a better gig.
Sway has some reverse compatability via XWayland. I am curious, is there any feature in particular keeping you on a native X11 desktop?
Is this even possible? I mean, as in physically possible? Do so many zero-emission trucks even exist? Who will pay for the new trucks? Aren't supply chain crunches already leading to huge shortages of battery components? Will California's electric grid be able to withstand all that charging?

So many questions, none of which is answered by this frankly insane regulation.
Inflation in Russia is more like 14%.
How does this differ from eBPF?
Absolutely! And if the features are at all usable/trial-able or need an in app purchase, and is useless without. I feel tricked so often. Currently I need to install an app and try it before I can have much idea if it does what I need. Reviews are of limited use.

I very much appreciate apps where I can trial or subscribe for a short period for a small price. If they do what I need I always end up buying or not cancelling the sub.

This sounds a little contradictory (too tired to word it better right now) but I hope the general feeling is conveyed.
Explicit GPU pointers, instead of opaque structures from the programmer's view, only became part of core in Vulkan 1.2 (VK_KHR_buffer_device_address).

And for Metal, getting the GPU address of a buffer only became exposed in Metal 3.0, which is going to be released this fall in iOS/iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura.

Desktop, as in desktop computer, used to mean a particular form factor, namely one that sits on a desk.

If "desktop" is used to mean a GUI resembling a real world desktop then, according to the dictionary definition, it only means the layout, colors, icons, etc., i.e., the GUI, not the applications that may be installed or pre-installed on the computer.

Even in the real world, desktop means the top of a desk not what is placed there.

A "full" desktop, as in "disk full", could mean a desktop that has so many items on it that there is no space for anything else.
Well, that would imply one of two things:

- Whatsapp keeps all its internal data in your Photos folder.

- Whenever you want to send someone an image, you need to manually copy the image from wherever it is to the Whatsapp folder.
How do you know people in smaller towns are quicker to help?
While I haven't achieved this, I've read enough material(BGI TOE, QUANTUM THEORY) to grasp the general idea. So, our body/avatar, in this reality is made up of thousands of sensors (technically every hair follicle is an air disturbance sensor). If we concentrate and attempt to consciously recognize/identify<be intune to> as many of them as we can (the amount grows with practice), we will essentially wake or detach, "consciously" speaking from our avatar/body and transcend into a higher consciousness. Put a different way, we have been staring at a projection screen (reality) for thousands of years, that our avatar subconsciously accepts this simulation as reality. Thru meditation, we can awake from this trance and be conscientious of the true nature/state of our avatar.
Hehe yeah, had to be TAS-bot inputting the exploit and payload, the video said it was over 2M button presses over 4 controllers! I think some of the simpler ACE could be done by a human, like the Mario 3 one…
Also if you don’t go through at least some of the hassle the fries will kinda suck. I mean it won’t be bad, it’s still potato salt and oil, but “fresh cut fries” will be limp and soggy unless you do the prep work.
I want to like TWMs but they all seem tailored to running single app workspaces on low res screens.

I would absolutely love a TWM that let me place/size windows like Spectacle or Rectangle but also _push_ other windows out of the way to maintain a grid and avoid overlapping. Open terminal, use keybind to place in upper right 1/3rd the screen width and 1/2 height. Open slack, hit same keybind, terminal gets pushed left (or down if there's already something to the left). Open browser, hit center 1/3rd 100% height keybind. Pushes terminal left. Focus slack, hit top right keybind again to expand window to 2/3rd width. Pushes browser down to center 1/3rd bottom 1/2. etc.
The target market is companies that can't afford to migrate away from legacy VB6 applications.

This is a very captive audience.

Toyota bet on the wrong horse with Hydrogen and I guess they're now going through the 5 stages of grief.

EVs are already proven for suburban use.
Time will tell if 4WDs need to be ICE, Toyota will be praying Ford and Tesla fail.
Nonsense. Selecting a file to share without giving access to all files is already a solved problem via file pickets.
My last house didn't. Every major appliance used natural gas.

Most prewar homes don't have 220v either unless it was added later (commonly as part of an air conditioner installation, but even then, often the AC unit has the only 220v circuit).

It's not hard to add 220v to an existing home, but it is less common than you think. Before electric cars existed, the main reason a homeowner would add 220 was for air conditioning, large stationary power tools, or if they were one of those weirdos that preferred electric stoves to gas (before induction existed).
> Many subreddits use Mass Tagger[0] or other bots to automatically ban people who post in 'right-wing' or 'reactionary' subreddits. The criteria for being tagged is shakey at best.

Last time I used reddit (years ago), it was easy and ubiquitous to use many alt accounts and to switch between them using RES. Seems like it would just encourage people to use more alts.
in unix, xattr and setfattr drive me crazy. As a PM, I do sometimes realize that the UX drive here would be "lets just remove these extended attributes, people hate them" instead of thinking about what they do, and how people (mis)understand them.

I think Android permissions are like xattr. its the noise behind chmod, it shows up in odd ways like when you can't move or delete a setuid file, or in ls -<flags> contexts if you tickle it right. its the nitty gritty, the details. Not "does this s/w respect my privacy" but "of 100+ distinct attributes, data items about 'me', can I atomically grant/deny access or apply some conditionality to them"

So I think the same thing about AWS Privs. My god, theres a million of the suckers. Do I want Amazon to simply remove the pane? God no. I just want to understand it better.

Why can't google "do both" and have a path to see these, but feature-parity with Apple and simplify it on the surface?
OSX has a fantastic workspace implementation.
This is kind of like a programmable browser library for terminals:

https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit

Even has a document model:

You do its called the webrtc data channel.
Distribution is also a big issue now: EV chargers have a much bigger ecosystem around them than hydrogen fuel stations.
Reddit has always been a place where you deviated from the prevailing groupthink at your own peril, and if people on HN are honest with themselves they might come to realize that HN is only marginally better than Reddit in that regard. Also, in fairness to HN, they didn't erase one of their founders from the site's history after he was driven to suicide by the US government.
That’s awesome. The most important thing is to understand why you’re making the decisions that you do.

Where I work, we can deliver most services cheaper on-prem due to our relative scale and cloud margins. But… we’re finding that vendors in the hardware space struggle to meet their SLAs. (Look at HPE — they literally sold off their field services teams and only have 1-2 engineers covering huge geographic regions. So increasingly critical workloads make the most sense in the cloud.
Google made scoped storage mandatory in Android 11 and later[1], this can restrict to just the app's own directory but people usually want to share media from outside the app's directory so they request the additional access.

The reality is that Asia has a huge advantage in BEV manufacture and also owns large chunks of Africa where the rare earth minerals are.

I suspect personal transportation is being phased out for the average person, only the elites will have access to vehicles. The rest of us will have to rely on electric bicycles and pre permissioned autonomous buggy travel.

The BEV trapped energy thermal runaway fire risks, recycling challenges and grid inadequacies issues are not going to be solved anytime soon.
It's institutional inertia. They are the kings of the ICE world. They are biased against preserving the status quo.
This is a very cool project. It uses headless firefox and then renders to the terminal. Text remains text, and then videos and images get projected to super low res bitmap-via-characters in real time.
Basically, yes. I’d have to check the ACAT standard , as I don’t know if it’s baked into the spec or a different agreement.

Keep in mind that there are typically thousands of dollars of assets coming over as well, so you only need to sell a tiny bit to cover the negative cash balance.

Also, I’ve never seen an account move over that had a total value of less than the closing fee, so I don’t know what happens in that case.
Solar PV can be deployed more rapidly than coal, 5B having just achieved 1.1 MW in a day (with 10 people)

https://5b.co/news/2022/1mw-in-1-day-5b-smashes-its-speed-re...

They have a system whereby a solar array is concertinaed off a truck.

https://5b.co

At that rate 4 x 660 MW, equivalent to a coal power station, could be deployed in 66 person-years. 130 people could not build a coal power station with 4 large generating sets in 6 months.

Suncable is expecting to complete the Australia-Asia Power Link by the end of 2028, starting construction in mid-2023. It will involve installing 3.2GW in 5.5 years, which is a rate of 1.5 to 1.6 MW/day.

Escape from Tarkov

It's Battle Royale esque. All the gear and items you take into a round will be lost if you die. But the only way to acquire more gear is to go into the rounds, loot, kill others for their loot and survive. If you just go into rounds and hide and turtle, you wont find any good gear. You have to be proactive and take risks to loot gear before other players in the round. In EFT, many players have "Gear Fear" where people don't like playing because they can't handle the risk of losing all their gear if they die.
This looks interesting. It's probably also worth investigating ways for website owners to make pages that are easy for this engine to render as text while preserving as much of the page's structure as possible.
I think the discrete conclusion to draw from this story is that it’s completely unsurprising that someone of his moral caliber was invested heavily in what turned out to be a complete veneer (and that’s putting in nicely)

I won't dare to tell you your experience but I will say that the southerners I've known (about half of my extended family and their friends) are very friendly to your face while capable of hating your existence just under the surface. They say "Bless your heart" instead of the NYC or DC person simply saying "Fuck you!"

Yea, it is definitely a fake HTTP server which I acknowledge in the article [1]. However based on the size of the requests, and my observation of the number of packets per second in/out being symmetrical at the network interface level, I didn't have a concern about doubled responses.

Skipping the parsing of the HTTP requests definitely gives a performance boost, but for this comparison both sides got the same boost, so I didn't mind being less strict. Seastar's HTTP parser was being finicky, so I chose the easy route and just removed it from the equation.

For reference though, in my previous post[2] libreactor was able to hit 1.2M req/s while fully parsing the HTTP requests using picohttpparser[3]. But that is still a very simple and highly optimized implementation. FYI, from what I recall, when I played with disabling HTTP parsing in libreactor, I got a performance boost of about 5%.

Yeah. If you’ve ever smelled burning electronics, you know that smell. In some ways, that’s a good thing as I knew where to go first. Of course, being the ups instead of the computer was weird to experience at 3 am. Hard to get your head to think through that when you aren’t fully awake, but starting to panic.
