While there is plenty of things that can be blamed on cable providers, the allocation is asymmetric RF channels it's not something that they decide to do specifically to mess up with clients but actually part of DOCSIS standard that is made by CableLabs (yea.. with input from cable companies, yet...) . A lot of todays restriction are derived from dark ages when cable was tv and not internet. IIRC till DOCSIS 3.1 (or 3.0?) data downstream was actually framed inside mpeg segments (or something like this) .
They did manage to incrementally squeeze much more out of their infra (coax) compared to what is achievable with twisted pair.

Last house that I rented had 30+ years old coax drop that were handling 1000/30 just fine and at my current house i get 1200/30.
Yea, it sucks that upstream is limited but sometimes legacy tech is legacy tech and decisions must be made in order to properly serve all the clients on plant with all the gazillion of different devices that they have

Edit: nice old discussion about upstream channels allocation in DOCSIS https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22572536
Where I live, there is neither Verizon or T-Mobile service, unfortunately. This is a stone's throw from Stanford; I cannot understand how we only have cell provider that works at our house. Fortunately there are MVNOs, so we're not stuck paying AT&T pricing for mobile.
Imagine you are sitting on a train in London with your friend on your way to work and you are having a conversation with your mom back in New York. Meanwhile your friend is loudly insisting that everyone knows that cellular connections can't cross oceans because cell towers just don't have that much range. He's sort of correct but he's missed the point.

Let me try again. Here is an xrandr invocation that configures 3 screens [1080P 24"][4K 27"][1080p 24"]

xrandr --dpi 163
--output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --scale 1.75x1.75 --pos 0x0
--output DP-4 --auto --pos 3360x0
--output DP-1 --mode 1680x1050 --scale 1.75x1.75 --pos 7200x0

One could simply run it at boot or better one can save the present configuration to xorg.conf. The nvidia-settings app both lets you do this with a GUI or can look what xrandr has set up and save THAT to your xorg.conf

If one simply runs xrandr after one sees a curious thing. The 1080 monitors are listed as being 3360x1890. If we pop out our calculator we will note that the systems sees every screen as being about 161 DPI. Prove it to yourself if you like.

https://www.sven.de/dpi/

This means that the most poorly written application on earth only has to contend with high dpi support not mixed DPI. X asks nothing of the client it needs no magic variables nor insight into its linked libraries or images. If you grasp the window metaphorically and move it from screen to screen its size won't perceptively flutter because the screen differential in DPI is as far as its concerned within 1%. If you open a fullscreen app it will draw its window to the whole perceptible 3360 width of the screen and X will scale it down to the actual width of 1920. X has taken sole responsibility for giving a fuck what the difference in DPI is. High DPI support at this point is very good and no scripts to "paper" over anything is required.

xrandr --scale is a thing that would have worked in 2003 and still works in 2022 even if people have forgotten about it.
I thought this too until I heard about Amsterdam. Apparently it used to be car-centric as well. Then they decided whenever they were going to re-do some district, they would re-do it as walkable. Sure, it takes 40 years, but it's possible.
I wouldn't call Baru Cormorant series a sci-fi, it's more like a fantasy genre, admittedly less of magic and such. Nevertheless, it's unusual and certainly can recommend. For the sci-fi I would also add more modern writers like Greg Egan, Alastair Reynolds, Hannu Rajaniemi, Liu Cixin, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Aliette de Bodard, and many others, often overlooked. Every single one of those have their unique imagination, vastly different from another. Quite recommend all of them to get the broader set of points of view.
> The right question to ask now... Why are some people spreading rumors trying to rewrite history and slander me (and thus Rocky).

Nobody here or anywhere is trying to slander Rocky, or yourself. And everything I said (or others said) cannot be called a "rumor". Everything said is factually correct, there is just a disagreement on the interpretation of these facts.

I will be honest with you, every time I read something where you claim to be a "founder of CentOS", it irritates me, for a number of reasons.

1/ CentOS was not created in a short time. Ideas, source code and history were spread and shared over multiple years and from multiple projects, I tend to consider that "founders" are "recognized as", not "claimed to be". Yet you are very loud about shouting everywhere your "founder" status to promote your Linux distribution. All in all, this status of yours is the sole selling point of Rocky Linux.

2/ There is, IMHO, a difference between "being there during the foundation" and "being a founder". I value the work you did with Caos, but to me being there in 2002 does not make you a "founder".

3/ There is a meaning in the status of founder, it implies some legacy on the future success of the project. Bill gates is a legitimate founder of MSFT because even though he's not there anymore, he did put the company on a track for what it is today.

I do not agree that you have a legacy claim on CentOS' future success. You were let go of the org after 2 years (I know you see it as the board having been "manipulated" by Lance).

TLDR: I do not contest your contribution to CentOS in the early days. But I think calling yourself a "founder" is misleading, and is a borderline dishonest attempt at reaping the success of an org that earned 99% of its respect long after you were let go.

There's a difference when use is preceded by did:

> The problem becomes a little trickier in constructions with did. The form considered correct following did, at least in American English, is use to. Just as we say "Did he want to?" instead of "Did he wanted to?," so we say "Did he use to?" instead of "Did he used to?" Here again, only in writing does the difference become an issue.

> While in American English "did used to" is considered an error...

> When Steve Fletcher, a Minneapolis city councilman and frequent Police Department critic, sought to divert money away from hiring officers and toward a newly created office of violence prevention, he said, the police stopped responding as quickly to 911 calls placed by his constituents. “It operates a little bit like a protection racket,” Mr. Fletcher said of the union.

> Unions can be so effective at defending their members that cops with a pattern of abuse can be left untouched, with fatal consequences. In Chicago, after the killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by officer Jason Van Dyke, it emerged that Mr. Van Dyke had been the subject of multiple complaints already. But a “code of silence” about misconduct was effectively “baked into” the labor agreements between police unions and the city, according to a report conducted by task force.

> When liberal politicians do try to advance reform proposals, union officials have resorted to highly provocative rhetoric and hard-boiled campaign tactics to lash out at them.

You're quoting numbers concerning protection against symptomatic infection. While perhaps scientifically interesting, this is irrelevant. You are going to get Covid multiple times in your life, regardless of your vaccination or infection status.

Look a Figures 1, 2 and 4, and you'll see clearly that protection against severe disease remains quite robust. Protection against severe, critical or fatal Covid-19 due to any Omicron infection is shown at 91% (95% CI 60-100) after prior infection (Figure 2D).

A tip for anyone having such issues with wifi on linux: Is it a 2.4GHz network and is anyone using bluetooth (such as headphones)? They might be interfering with each other.

The iwlwifi kernel module has an option that tries to allow them to coexist, but it seems totally random whether or not you should have it on. Different bluetooth headphones also affect it in different ways (as I discovered a few weeks ago when I bought a different brand; with my usual the bluetooth would drop for about a minute then reconnect with no effect on the wifi, but with the new ones they would go crazy maintaining the connection, causing a lot of audio stuttering and extremely slow wifi).

This is the key - capitalism only works when there is viable competition, otherwise it's just a monopoly.

They got around this in the UK by splitting the monopoly (well, except for Kingston upon hull) into BT and OpenReach. OpenReach provides the infrastructure, and are bound by government regulation to provide open access to last mile infrastructure for a fixed fee per product - this allows a load of ISP's to offer their own value-add services.

AAISP is pricey, but you get legendary support
Zen is less pricey (and unlimited) and good support
PlusNet is cheap as chips

The one are this is different with is FTTP - because of the slow roll out on OpenReach's part, plenty of smaller providers have stepped up and built their own infrastructure and cover various parts of the country.

Is it perfect? Of course not, but I'm paying 54 GBP a month for 900 down and 110 up FTTP.
I was able to reach a Microsoft support agent on the phone (1-800-MICROSOFT, I believe) when I had issues installing OneNote on a clean installation of windows 10. It was surprisingly quick to get someone on the phone. The initial agent had to escalate it to a more technical support team. They scheduled a call the next day, and someone called me and was able to remote into my desktop and quickly figure out the issue (my graphics card driver needed to be updated).

I mean, the main social institutions that underpinned all the others in Rome were massive human trafficking and looting operations. The enlightened Greeks weren't any better.

I’m a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to sub/dub debates. I find myself usually enjoying one or the other more, depending on the show and sometimes the season.

For example, Cowboy Bebop I enjoy both, though probably prefer the dub a bit more. If I’m watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, my preference changes season to season since the cast is always changing, and the context of the story changes which I think makes one better over the other. In other cases I’ve definitely preferred the sub.

I don’t think my point is view is unique, but I also don’t see it reflected in discussions much. What’s your take on it?

Other elements that drives substantial cost is the move to push things to commercial industry to do fabrication, and their internal training gaps...

Case in point: When there are 3 people on a planet that know how to create a specific sensor, and they happen to be NASA civil servants, JPL employees, Professors in Academia, or from a boutique non-profit like Aerospace or Mitre...in many cases the govt will decide to push the fabrication to commercial industry to create it, instead of the elite teams that created the most recent groundbreaking sensor.

This causes huge cost overruns as the commercial teams fumble around [1] and in some cases, even get paid despite dropping a satellite [2]

One of the funny fixes to this for NPP, was assigning a government "hall monitor" experienced in safe satellite testing to oversee test operations, and gig them for every infraction of safety protocols.

super meat boy was first released as a flash game on new grounds. The success there lead to the future release on console and PC (and i recall seeing it was rewritten for these platforms, rather than porting the flash version, but now i can't find a reference).

And while braid is indeed released first on console, there's at least one citation of Blow decrying the process:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_(video_game)#cite_ref-xb... . Blow likely had no choice at the time because steam (in 2007) wasn't as big a platform as it is today.

I am still of the opinion that console-only releases are not good for indie developers, despite the apparent contradiction of it being more profitable. And the reason Braid had xbox live arcade release is more to do with the industry connection Blow has, rather than the merits of the platform. Even Blow himself initially thought he'd be making a PC release for this game (until the financial side-benefits of xbox arcade back then kicked in).

Definitely not “typical”, but you don’t _have_ to be a child prodigy to be a world champion (motorcycle) racer.

(Sadly, I suspect the one guaranteed indicator of world champion potential in motor racing is being a “rich kid”. )

I worked at Google up until 2017. In the last year or two of my time there I had many conversation with some people who worked for or were adjacent to the Fuchsia team. It's hard to believe it's been 6 years. We're now talking billions (quite literally) of dollars later and all we've got to show for it is an OS for the Nest?

The core of the technical leadership on Fuchsia were, I believe, Android refugees so they had a very Android-centric way of looking at the world. The two premises for Fuchsia seemed to be:

1. There is no way to remove devices drivers from the Linux kernel. That goal was seen as desirable in terms of improving reliability, how long devices were supported for and the time taken to roll out updates. Upstreaming driver changes was something phone manufacturers just didn't do and didn't want to do. Linux has no stable ABI for device drivers; and

2. The Android ecosystem itself needed a reboot. This one is harder to define but, for example, you had duplication of services between the all-but-dead AOSP and Play services.

Remember these are statements of fact. These are my impression of the beliefs of Fuchsia technical leadership.

Google had always had hopes that there would be a healthy ecosystem of phone manufacturers. For awhile there were but now? Now it's really just Samsung. Samsung and Google, much like the Wintel alliance of Microsoft and Intel years ago, was an unhappy marriage of convenience. Samsung had tried (and repeatedly failed) to make their own OS. And Google didn't like Samsung being the consumer face of Android.

So the question I raised was: given that Samsung in an unhappy spouse in a loveless marriage of necessity, how are you going to convince Samsung to switch to Fuchsia? I still see no answer to that.

Maybe something interesting and useful will come out of Fuchsia eventually. I for one am not holding my breath however. It screams of being the pet project of some very high level engineers.

Yes, I agree, but partially that is due to the cost of replication being negligible to the product manufacturer - the user bears the primary cost, being the device.

Also, 20 people, while it could happen, I doubt they self organised. There was at least one person with an architectural vision, plus there would have been back end, front end, mobile variants all needing to coordinate, I would have thought there was a number of "planners and organisers" and a number of "doers" in the mix, not to mention maybe some testing specialists.

I've not seen any background to the WhatsApp team and story, it would be interesting if anyone has any good links.
