I agree. My criticism is that the majority of the cryptography community just turns up their nose and does neither. They just say "go away," and people are obviously not listening to that and are instead attempting amateur surgery.

The solution is to provide better learning materials.

BTW some people often say "just use libraries." The problem is that even the best designed cryptographic libraries are easy to misuse if you don't at least understand the basics of what those building blocks are doing. Imagine using a networking library without knowing what a TCP connection is or how it behaves. You don't need to understand the deep internals of TCP but you need to at least know the semantics and what the protocol does.
My first thought as I scanned the abstract was that since the '90s, the volume of novels with informal dialog has gone through the roof -- especially novels for teens and young adults.
You need new physical data routes, which isn't cheap. I'd start working on a local non-profit, low bandwidth effort first. Something that can be used in an emergency to route around damage.

Also, see about using StarLink.

Also, do you have ComCast in addition to the phone company? It's always good to have a backup route to the world.
Well the best case for Twitter isn't $10bn in damages, it's forcing him to go through with the the entire original $44bn deal.

Elon's net worth has already fallen by $65bn in the past few months - I'd imagine the valuation of his assets will fall quite a lot more once it becomes known he's going to have to offload $44bn worth of Tesla and/or SpaceX to finance a bad deal.

Elon won't be bankrupt in the colloquial sense of financially ruined, but if he's forced to go through with deal and is unable to finance it he will have to liquidate an enormous amount of assets - and many of his assets are already collateral for existing loans.
Paper is tangible, permanent and owned by you. Digital "memories" are rented, volatile and owned by someone else.
> The value of the house is in the legal statement of ownership. What is owned is important of course, but the legal statement of ownership itself is traded for these values.

And yet, I own many worthless things that also exhibit that property (like a picture my niece drew of me and my cat). There is a totemic quality to possessing something, but that is almost always personal and independent of the thing's market value. Outside of "collectible" properties (structures with historical significance like castles or Frank Lloyd Wright houses), houses have a market value related to the imputed rent they produce and potential productivity of the land.
It would be nice to have a reflowable non-PDF version.
So the cypher contains 'Katherine', there is evidence that she herself spelled her name with a 'K', as the article mentions, but then they refer to her as 'Catherine' throughout, even directly after talking over this point.

Bah. Voices ignored, indeed.
The issue is that open source distributions don't have access to the level of testing and quality control that the proprietary desktop duopoly do. Microsoft and Apple can spend millions of dollars to make it very unlikely that a system update will break your system. And even if when it breaks, there is such a large user base that a solution will usually be easy to find.

Linux ditros don't have that. In my experience, Ubuntu and Fedora don't have that level of stability especially when running a heavy desktop like Gnome or KDE. My Arch laptop very stable, but I'm running a minimalist desktop. In the rare occasions where something goes wrong I have the experience and inclination to quickly learn to fix it.

I wish there were more competition in the commercial space, but I'm not sure that it's even a good idea for open source to try to match the GUI administration utilities from the proprietary OS's. It's far too much work troubleshooting weird corner cases. I wholeheartedly recommend Linux or open source for people who want the level of control over their machines that open source allows. But for people who just want their machine to work, it's reasonable to cede control to Apple or Microsoft.

Maybe PopOS, with it's backing from a commercial vendor on limited hardware will change this.
> WWII had a lot of people working alongside a lot of other people they wouldn't usually spend time with.

To some extent, but the military was still segregated by race.
There's also this weird meme that Linux HiDPI isn't ready or something. Back in 2001 I had a small 1600x1200 dell desktop monitor at work, and an even higher DPI Sony Trinitron CRT at home.

They were both unusable under Windows, and probably MacOS 9/10.0, but worked fine out of the box in Debian (once you set the DPI correctly in xfree86's config file).

High DPI support for Linux has strictly regressed since then, since, for some reason, people think Apple's scaling hacks are capable of pixel perfect rendering, and ported them to Linux.
For sure, the low cost mortgages cause prices to be much higher.
Pet theory: for most of human history, biology has been an increasingly complex detective story, a notepad of mysteries laying on a table next to an unfathomably massive evidence room stuffed with barely organized facts. This appeals to certain people and not to others. Only recently has it become possible to approach it from more of an engineering perspective, which appeals to a different set of people.

I would say that redundant networks are precisely whats required.

Selling a government on the idea is the hard part. Actually maintaining communications links, wires or fiber etc, is apparently so trivial a challenge as to be a minority of most phone companies actual business. They spend much more effort on billing and marketing.

UK heatwave: Parents warned to keep children out of sun
Unless we are talking about embedded, "availability of GUI toolkits" is not something that speaks in Rust's favor, as evidenced by only one of these editors being graphical. Maybe in 2-3 years when the current toolkits had time to mature.

So I was going to write a response to this but then I realized something.

1. The wavefunction is non-local, it contains non-local entanglements. Many-worlds even says it describes the whole world.

2. The wavefunction cannot be directly observed.

3. Many worlds interpretation doesn't have a notion of collapse - there is no randomness.

So if you think about it, MWI is a deterministic global hidden variable theory. I have no idea how I didn't see it until now.
Algorithms To Live By is an amazing book. My favorite chapter was the one about sorting where the author comes to the same conclusion I did many years ago – do not sort your socks. It's a waste of time. Bucket them by type instead.
in the case of emacs, yes. Basically because emacs has damn near 40 years of hacking that’s been done on it that isn’t separable from elisp, and it’s an editor en passant, as a kind of side effect of being itself.

There's an interesting chapter in the memoirs of Charles Babbage (he of the Difference and Analytical Engines) where he describes his experiences with the first railways and how he did some experiments on Brunel's Great Western route and built (one of, or possible the?) first dynamometer cars:

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Passages_from_the_Life_of_a_P...

That chapter also contains this priceless bit where after Babbage had only by luck narrowly avoided a head-on collision with Brunel going the other way on the same track, Brunel replies that if Babbage's train had actually been approaching the other way on the same line, "he should have put on all the steam he could command, with a view of driving off the opposite engine by the superior velocity of his own."

Telecommunication industry is heavily regulated, both in terms of Spectrum and Services requirement. So practically speaking the only way to improve Teleco is either you have government support to open up the market for competition, i.e Politics, or you have another iPhone moment ( the odds of happening is infinitely close to zero ) where a vendor could dictate Teleco for Network improvement.

I keep thinking the only way to break this anywhere in the world would be something like WiFi as a Mobile Network. Although this idea has been tried but never succeeded, practically because WiFi wasn't designed for such use in the first place. But recent improvement in WiFi 6 and WiFI 7 ( 802.11ax or 802.11be ) could solve this.

Actually, although it makes complete sense to own land rather than pay rent in perpetuity in our current economic system, it is also totally unjust. The land belongs to all of us, like the air. Allowing individuals to own it, and especially to bequeath it, is the root of many of our problems,

Credit card companies carry out some due diligence as to the borrower's ability to pay whereas a lot of these BNPL providers do none at all.

Does Linux work well on those M chip Apple laptops?
Biology did seem more like a recitation of facts in school to me, but it was very different in university. I think part of it was having a pretty bad teacher, but also the school textbooks are just so much worse than the introductory textbooks for university.

I think some parts are fixable, others are difficult. A part of the problem is that you need to cover some parts in more depth if you want to really make sense of them. Without some basic chemistry and thermodynamics knowledge the entire metabolic pathways seem very arbitrary. This is probably hard to fit into the amount of time you have in school for those subjects.
Unfortunately, you are wrong.

I have quarter of century experience working on Linux including running it on all my laptops and desktops for 23 years.

Over the years keeping it working started becoming what seems like a full time job and I jumped the ship for M1 MacBook Pro. It still has a lot of problems but at least I have more time to do my actual work.

I understand I might just becoming less tolerant of wasting time on things that should just work (my actual work being more and more distant from tinkering with OS internals).

But, if I with all my experience am spending time keeping it alive, what has to do a person that has no idea about systemd or pulse audio or dealing with failed upgrades or anything else? Essentially -- you are using it until first problem happens and then you can either reinstall it from scratch or switch to Windows or Mac.

I still keep a Linux laptop dedicated for critical security tasks (I don't trust Apple this much) and a number of Linux VMs (I am running small datacenter at home).

Is London a car free city ?
> The occupants visibly move backwards relative to the car body

The only video linked to in that thread has been removed so I wasn't able to see this, but I will point out that the timing is critical to interpreting this observation. During deceleration, the occupants will move forward relative to the car body so that the car can apply a decelerating force to their bodies (via seat belts or friction against the seats and floor of the car). At some point after the car has stopped, they will necessarily move back to their neutral position. This will have nothing to do with the transient motion of the car when acceleration drops to zero.

I will also note that it is not that difficult to come to a complete stop with no perceivable transient if you ease off the brakes as the car comes to a halt. It's actually a useful skill to cultivate IMHO.

Can only comment from using someone else’s max because the last one I owned was the MacBook Pro Retina when it first came out and it’s trackpad was smaller than the dell but suffered the same problem. However cos it was smaller it happened far less often. But on the newer larger one it does it too. However palm detection is definitely far better than the dell.
I'm not sure what the point of your list is. Is your argument that professions like crane operator or construction worker are nowhere near as dangerous as that of logging worker, so we don't need regulations to make them safer?

Because in my opinion, crane operator and construction worker are dangerous professions, and if there are reasonable regulations that can make them safer, it would be a good idea to look at the pros and cons of those regulations.

It's funny to see one arguing that Rust programs will be higher quality... in the GUI space. The AreWeGUIYet[0] website shows clearly that a GUI editor written in Rust won't cut. I'd rather argue that editors written in the platform-native language (e.g. ObjC/Swift on macOS) will result in higher quality editors.

If the author is viewing this comment, I'd recommend BBEdit[1], a solid & classic option. Other options might include Chime[2], a Go/Ruby-focused native IDE, or Nova[3], a VSCode-alike native-focused editor. I'm not sure if Chime or Nova would be as stable as TextMate though.

The vision and individual will of Mr Torvalds cannot be discounted as a factor; yes all the communities around Linux did the work but they had not crystallized around a different core.

If M$ hadn't been such pure shits in the late 80s and onward, they could have had a lot of that community themselves. I think, in hindsight, the world may have worked out better for it tho. I can imagine a "source available" xenix based world where M$ plays the role of Apple without the lovingkindness. Imagine a human face being stamped by a "windows update" wait screen... forever.

The shockwave of excess inventory and capacity is coming. One of our suppliers in the automation space told us they experienced over 70% growth in orders last year (compared to 2019 levels). This can’t be explained by organic growth; only by their customers increasing stock levels. Once demand starts dropping (we are in recession territory after all), all this stock is going to cause a mess.

Word is some prominent semiconductor suppliers (think TI, ST) saw this coming and refused to go crazy on new capacity (which takes years and billions), instead waiting for the demand to subside; but this is 3rd hand info I got.

> I would expect people deliberately opting for Linux to already be more adept with that kind of thing - but maybe I'm wrong!

Yep, I think you’re just wrong. I know plenty of people who use Linux but have never built a PC and have no clue how to do so, and may never have even swapped out ram or disk drives.

I’m sure plenty of people also don’t know what a NUC is or where you would research which one to buy. You’re discounting the fact that you happened to know about the Crucial part picker, but most people don’t!

Some people use Linux because they grew up tinkering with computers, but a lot of people use them for other reasons, like greater familiarity with GNU command-line tools, or just not wanting to need a VM to run Docker.

I think the vast majority of people who build their own computer do so for gaming purposes and use Windows.
