Indeed, until 2005 I only used Linux at home.

Work was all about HP-UX, AIX and Solaris, the exception being CERN in 2002.

They were slowly transitioning from Solaris into Linux for the clusters, while most researchers were either adopting OS X or Windows 2000.

There are manual height adjustable desks that can be set for near zero resistance moving up and down. They have a brake and an adjustable tension spring. I think those are the best ones. The only advantage (some) motorized ones have is the ability to remember presets.
No. The definition of “lie” is to deceive. But I mean openly to their advisors and investors. Not to their competition. But I do thinks it’s possible to openly fake something. Consider when Penn and Teller do those “open” magic tricks. The surface effect is no less amazing because you can see how it’s done - in fact it’s more so, at least to me. Maybe it’s good to see it once the closed way, but then opening up the box just ices the cake!
Why do you need to kill weeds? Adapt and stop having lawns.
Yeah see the art of David Goodsell. I believe he said the concentrations of the various biomolecules are roughly accurate based on calculations he does before starting painting. Cells are incredibly crowded. The human body being 60-70% water is usually presented in pop-sci as “wow we are mostly water!” but that’s actually very concentrated for chemical reactions. You usually don’t perform reactions that concentrated in a lab whether it’s biochemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic, analytical, etc. It’s a wonder all this stuff doesn’t just gunk up and precipitate out of solution.

I often use vim for editing files but not code. The need to adhere to corporate style pretty much kills it for that.
yes agree -- the insight is into the additional restrictions on access. Market values react to scarcity in most cases. The legal titles, the ability to obtain and dispense of loans, the ability to exchange titles and resolve blocks in titles, contribute to the valuation. In the case of a child's drawing, very few impediments exist to exchange or declare title to that one drawing, and there is little scarcity since most children draw a lot of pictures.

Plus explicit contracts in new housing developments barring current sales and future sales to specific "undesirable" demographics. This "red-lining" was widespread from post-WW2 boom through the 80s or so to keep those demographics out of some areas. Those demographics were locked out of the housing markets and in big urban areas like NYC this created an artificial demand for rental that forced these people to pay above-market rental rates for substandard housing, a double-slam on generational wealth accumulation.

They work and they're cross platform. That's impressive and modern.
Whatever happened to that? I've read the articles from the time how the NT kernel was designed to have Win32, POSIX and OS/2 as equal ways to talk to the kernel, via the subsystem architecture. And if you dig deep enough in modern Windows you find things that were probably invented for that (like support for case-sensitive names in NTFS), but the feature seems to have vanished as soon as it launched, only to be resurrected two decades later as WSL1.

I can just imagine Microsoft-internal politics went against the idea?

> we found out the hard way that moralization and shame does not work on people without morals

In guilt oriented cultures, people have a moral conscience, which is a counter-balance to social shaming. Such people don't rely upon others to tell them how to live a moral existence.

In shame oriented cultures, people are more concerned about what other people think of them, and can more easily be coerced to 'order themselves harmoniously' (Confucius).
> “the cell wants to x” is language that we can’t use in a HS classroom

If you can’t use language like that you’re giving up on getting anything through to over half of the class. Trying to impart information to people who don’t care and aren’t interested is amazingly hard. Not using agentic framing makes it harder.

The government should have disincentivized using houses as an investment vehicle.

Houses are for families to live in. The primary asset houses should provide are the family and the work they do, not the house. But if a house costs so much money that the family can't really take risks, then the house just becomes a debt prison.

Terminal editors tend to be non-starters for a serious development editor for me because I want more control over how I format my text. I want to mix fonts. I want to edit markdown with a preview. Emacs has been graphical mode forever.

> He isn't bound if Twitter lied in the contract. In the contract, they said their SEC filings are kosher (4.6). If they aren't (and the bot calc being materially off would probably do it), Twitter lied and he isn't bound.

What twitter has actually been saying in their filings is stuff like this:

> We have performed an internal review of a sample of accounts and estimate that false or spam accounts represented less than 5% of our MAUs. In making this determination, we applied significant judgment, so our estimation of false or spam accounts may not accurately represent the actual number of such accounts, and the actual number of false or spam accounts could be higher than we have estimated.

It specifically says they may be wrong and the real number may be higher, so even if their calculation is low that doesn't mean they lied in their filings, so that's not going to get Elon off the hook for the deal.
Fastify DX: Full Stack Framework Built on Top of Fastify and Vite
I’ve always thought of any automatic stylistic change as “stylistic highlighting”, so now I’m curious if that’s a rare opinion.

I’m with you that colors can easily start to impede readability. I’m a fan of subtle, judicious color use, so I’ll often start with a palette but knock back the colors from there.

What typeface(s) do you like for its italics?
The other issue is that the FSF is much more focused on ideology than code.

When attempting to be relevant to people who can enrich your product (i.e. hackers), working code is way more important than whether you write letters and a slash before the "linux" part of the name.

Linus is a hacker first and foremost, and ideology takes a backseat. FSF has the cart before the horse.
I'd pay the extra $200 if the manufacturer warranted Linux compatibility for 10 years (with a checklist of things like wake from sleep and connect to WiFi/monitor that work > 99.9% of the the time, or some other SLA).

It would also have to be silent.
Lawns are less important. We would have no agricultural output if we didn’t weed.
I did love Biology. In fact, I think it was my first real interest before computers or programming.

Some aspects of the field still fascinate me, but I know if I ever bothered to engage the interest I'd be broke.
That's why AI will replace him
The fact that the article calls Linux a product right from the beginning shows one of its flaws: Unlike other free systems like OpenBSD, Linux suffers from being required to satisfy “the market”. The results: systemd and the choice between being “like Windows” (KDE) or “like macOS” (Gnome).

“In some sense, you only hit what you aim at. What was the goal of the Linux community--to replace Windows? One can imagine higher aspirations.”

- Bill Joy, 2010.

For those who are unaware of the author, Drew Devault is the founder and CEO of SourceHut, a project hosting service that's recently been championed by the Software Freedom Conservancy as an alternative to GitHub (along with Codeberg) in their new Giveup Github campaign.

Now with that out of the way, what he says shouldn't be surprising. People are fickle and are quite quick to entrench themselves into cliques and dogmas. There's no such thing as a service or group for everyone. If he's been on the net as long I think he has, he would know that people haven't radically changed since the BBS days.

I don't know if the author didn't think the following quote through while typing it, but I could only chuckle at the irony on display:

"[The Fediverse's] moderation tools also do a pretty good job of keeping neo-nazis out of your feeds and providing a comfortable space to express yourself in, especially if your form of expression is maligned by society."
You can use a Dynamic DNS service and a dynamic (residential) IP, unless downgrading to a dynamic IP incurs severe tradeoffs like CGNAT and/or blocking port 25.

I'm 45 and I was excited to use them at first, but then as I was changing editors/terminal emulators, coding fonts, I couldn't always had them anyway, so I'm not attached to the idea.

I also prefer the lack of them, exactly because they apply to strings and comments too, where they are often undesired.

I write Clojure code most of the time, so maybe that's a deciding factor too...
IMO, the choice of nix editor is always somewhat contextual depending on how much full stack work is being done. If one is doing a lot of systems work (ie a lot of bash commands), then one inevitably wants to set a default editor on the systems being used. While I choose vi, it really depends on the number and type of systems being regularly accessed, and your personal preferences. For me the use of a terminal editor is just part of the seamless flow of using the command line for everything else. I personally don't think it is especially valuable to consider terminal editors in isolation away from bash, other than to become familiar with key strokes.
Not to take anything away from Linus, but Linux was also in the right place at the right time. The BSD licensing issues were up in the air at the time and Microsoft had Windows 3.11, which was hardly a technological tour de force. There was a gap that was ripe for exploitation. It could have been Minix that won, or BSD, or the Hurd, but it wasn't, due to various missteps.

There's a lot of stuff out there that's good, but didn't make it for "various reasons". Time and chance happen to all men, as it says in the Good Book.
> BSD results in variants and splinters.

Please count the Linux-based systems.
Institutional demand has two drivers that I know of: chasing appreciation or chasing yields. Appreciation is finished. So that leaves cap rates. How much can you keep raising rents? What are vacancy rates going to be? Maintenance costs? At a certain point something like a bond is less hassle and risk.

I don't know what percentage of these institutional rentals are intended to be held forever, or in long term funds, etc. versus part of a trade like other assets when financial conditions like debt costs change.
But that’s not the benefit of putting your money in a hedge fund at all, the benefit is hedging against losses, so that you don’t have to worry about losing money when everyone else is.
That is not the major use of glyphosate.

"More than 200 million pounds of glyphosate are used annually by US farmers on their fields. The weedkiller is sprayed directly over genetically engineered crops such as corn and soybeans, and also over non-genetically engineered crops such as wheat and oats as a desiccant to dry crops out prior to harvest. Many farmers also use it on fields before the growing season, including spinach growers and almond producers. It is considered the most widely used herbicide in history."
Where are you located?

Ever since I read someone's comment that 'HN is the fastest site they regularly visit', I've wondered if that's because they're in the western US (where HN is hosted).

Bootstrapping likely means outsized leveraging of knowledge with smaller amounts of cash focused on sustainability from the start.

Maybe there’s a fintech type disruption on the horizon.

This would be a fun project to hack on with 5-10 skilled folks with complementary skills to cover the industry, legal, financial, operational and the hardware and software angles to see what might be possible today. There have to be folks with a lot of experience in Canada that might be worth seeking out before beginning that feel exactly like you do and I would say I do too.

How much cash investment would you start with?

I’d be curious to how easy it can be for a non technical consumer today to access an mvno service that is turnkey and sells 3-4gb a month tablet type data plan (currently $10-20/mo) that can handle calls and sms via a carrier grade voip for $20-30/mo might be an interesting. It’s not new, but it’s not always easy to setup unless you’re technical. Calls are secondary to data (WhatsApp calls) these days for many. Keeping it independent of one carrier doesn’t preclude the fact that existing carriers have likely dealt with this type of approaches before. But it’s ok to start and remain small and let growth be organic snarfed across multiple providers instead of one only.

There may be something at the convergence or combination of some of the existing approaches or new tech that might be ready for the mainstream..

- Building momentum by starting as a MVNO in a segment of the market where you can secure and build demand and grow services. There are some interesting data only services out there.

- Perhaps a LoRa play. Great range. There seems to be some interesting gear that will pair Lora via Bluetooth to any phone. Software might be needed. Maybe there could be Lora beacons to assist with coverage.

- What’s possible with other open spectrums? Are there other unused spectrums that could be used in interesting ways, for exa

- Begin with cheaper 3G and now 4g networks only like new providers.

- Wifi calling overlap / voip coverage.

- Could there be a way to setup a peer routing network between devices and to their internet connections?

- Crowdsource/coop/non-profit focused on revenue and sustainability but not paying profit to shareholders. Non profit corporations do not mean mean people can’t be paid extremely well for their work. Maybe there is a meaningful social entrepreneurship angle here. Might be some funding available too to provide access to those who are priced out of the market.

- Maybe there is a way to use the enhanced networking capabilities of Linux only phones, or alternative setups.

I went from a lemur 14" to a Mac m1 and the following things broke:

- dual monitors were detected only as one monitor, and we're mirrored.

- USB mouse (I disprefer Bluetooth mice) would have to be unplugged and plugged back in if the laptop went to sleep

- no home/end keys

- I had installed all of my corporate 2FA stuff on safari and safari would randomly drop me from Google meets. No other browser had this issue.

The ctl/option madness definitely tanked my productivity while I had the laptop but I figure I would have learned it eventually.
It AT&T wouldn’t have been such a PITA in the late 80s, Linux would not exist. BSD became “free” one year too late, sadly.
Egui is amazing, Tauri is a better Electron. Both of those things are infinitely better than Qt
Yeah, the fact that a handful of individuals are allowed to make this much infrastructure effectively useless for hundreds of millions of people just so they can make their own millions of dollars from their scams is insane. Maybe someone could start their own robocall campaign urging everyone sick of scam calls to donate $1 to a crypto assassination fund.
I'm basically a writer at core. Writing stories pays terribly, but writing code pays well. I don't have the brain nor passion to leetcode well, but architecture and clean code are really easy. I throw the language part of my brain at learning code. I can't learn code from docs, but pick it up fast from examples.

Most likely I'd be doing sales though. I discovered I was pretty damn good at sales but the programming jobs never stopped coming in. It was just a matter of taking the job that paid better and requires less commuting.

A third career option would have been cooking. I almost went into this, it seemed pretty easy to make millions of dollars on. I consulted restauranteurs who were making millions of dollars in revenue a year. They basically told me I'm an idiot -- running a business was a prison, like having kids. They'd pick up tech jobs if they could.
Huh, I thought I was the last person using TextMate. It's still the only editor I've found that's powerful enough for my needs and small enough to fit into my head, that feels like a Mac app, but is extensible using all the power of Unix under the hood. I've been using TextMate since 1.0 when it was the darling editor of the Ruby on Rails community, though I've never been a Rails developer and I hardly ever edit Ruby files that aren't Chef or Homebrew or Cocoapods DSL files. I navigate through a lot of languages and file types throughout my day. Over the course of a week, it's not unusual for me to work on: Python, Javascript, Makefiles, YAML, C, Objective-C, C++, Groovy, Java, shell scripts, Markdown, and plain text files, with nearly 100% of those files in git repos.

Next to TextMate I always have one or more iTerm2 panes open in the same directory as the project I'm working on. I am fluent at switching between the terminal and TextMate during my editing sessions, often using various Unix tools (sed, awk, sort, grep, tr, git, etc) either in iTerm2 or directly via TextMate's ability to pipe text into a process and replace it in the buffer with the output.

I heart TextMate. I've tried others:

- emacs - its working set is bigger than my brain. I used to use it as my primary editor, but I just don't really grok lisp so extending and configuring it was always painful. I'd forget how to use some functionality I knew emacs was capable of and the discovery process for finding it is/was too time consuming. It just felt like emacs demanded too much attention to itself.

- vi - I often use vi as an adjunct editor, but I want a proper Mac app and GUI most of the time.

- Sublime - too un-Mac like.

- VS Code - too bloated and un-Mac like.

- Eclipse - even more bloated and un-Mac like.

- JetBrains various IDEs - haven't really given it a fair shake yet. But I want one editor I can use across all the languages I develop in. I don't want a separate IDE for each language. I'm not sure I want an IDE at all.

- BBEdit - I just find something about it very klunky and its extensibility and integration with the command-line too limited. Its performance is great though and I sometimes use it for reading log files.

Anyway, I've only ever had TextMate crap out like OP describes when I paste a file into it with very long lines AND with syntax highlighting enabled. I suspect one of the syntax highlighting grammars he's using has one or more regex patterns that's backtracking itself to death.
Whether someone benefits or not from such credit is almost entirely due to their own behavior. As the seller, I think you have an ethical obligation to deal with them openly and honestly and to go out of your way not to mislead them. But it isn't your responsibility to paternalize them if they appear to be adults.

Most products can be abused, and this is one. But it isn't necessary to remove hammers from the market because some customers will build unsafe houses with them.

You can't just renounce it. It's a quite expensive process. And naturally, once you have, you no longer receive any of the benefits of US citizenship. Whereas the companies in question get to avoid taxes while retaining the benefits of being located in the US.
Not really.

Rust, Haskell, Kotlin, yes. They force you to consider the error path.

Go makes it all too easy to just ignore errors and produce crashy code.
TOTP is a minuscule security win in exchange for a significant amount of inconvenience, versus using a good password manager. If you want to prevent password reuse, add an option to use a pre-generated password as an alternative to 2FA.

I think the statement "these weaknesses are implementation specific", while true, is irrelevant when 99% of people affected by this mandate (and 99.9% of 2FA users in general) are going to use an implementation with these weaknesses. And, I think it really sucks that PyPI is loosing maintainers due to a policy that won't increase security in a meaningful way.
Yes, it was mostly for government contracts.

Eventually it got replaced by Interix, which was further replaced by SUA until Windows 8.

Naturally nowadays Linux syscalls compatibility relevance grew to the point that even other UNIXes have Linux compatibility layers, so WSL made more sense than plain POSIX.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Horse,

Don't underestimate the rise of Internet, websites, and the web servers in pushing the rise of Linux. Linux usage took hold not because people dropped Windows for desktop and adopted Linux. Linux usage took hold due to the increasing adoption of server and its related technologies. Simply put, nobody cared about the mass scale use of Active Directory for ldap and whatever Microsoft was selling as a web server. Linux servers provided better adoption to evolve with the rise of Internet.
