The fact that money didn't necessarily reach people doing the work, doesn't mean money wasn't thrown around above their heads - which inevitably conditioned their choices. Novell didn't pay peanuts for SuSE, for example; nor did Ubuntu build a mobile OS for anything but to intercept money from mobile manufacturers. It was fairly plain to see that developers hired by those companies were given marching orders at various points; and because they inevitably were the core developers, projects steered accordingly.

(I would also add that, certainly in KDE circles, there was also a bit of a cultivated aura of rockstar developers around these fulltime hires, with folks making big calls without ever accepting they might be wrong... until several years (or decades) later.)
I don't get why I am getting such emotional responses.

Most of the noise in cities comes from cars, that is a fact. Even dense cities can be fairly quiet. I suggest watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTV-wwszGw8

Plus China has probably not the best building codes, the problem can be further improved by having proper sound isolation in homes.

Dense cities mean you will have everything in walking distance. There will be much more space for parks and other areas of recreation.

Sure, but most of that stuff doesn't make it into law at the federal level. State houses are a different story. Congress really doesn't pass a lot of legislation anymore.

If you go look at the videos congress people are putting up to pull in donations, you may not have such a rosy view. It tends to be the most divisive stuff, and really leans into fear of the other in general. It seems unhealthy to me.

To understand why this is a problem even with “good” css, one has to understand how parsers work. It doesn’t matter that all css will be good in practice. The entire theoretical possibility of a problematic case (i.e. unbounded number of lookaheads) changes a class of parser required to parse it. Not all grammars are equal and they may require different methods. One grammar may be LALR(const) compatible, and the other may be parsed only with GLR. There is no easy way to use a dumb and quick parsing method once you commit to a grammar (not to a way of writing sources!) in which ambiguity can survive for an indefinite time, even if it’s always short in practice.

The page loads fine in Ladybird[1] on Arch. It's the browser purpose-built for SerenityOS[2] using a in-house HTTP/JS/TLS engine that hasn't matured to the point of practical usability yet. If I were a site administrator using some kind of weird metric to block a browser, this thing would definitely go on the blacklist.

As for a more common uncommon browser, GNOME Web (WebKit) also works fine.

Whatever is causing you to get blocked, it's not the browser engine you're using. Check your plugins, antivirus, MITM engines, and whatever else messes with your connection. It could also be a simple IP block because of a bad IP neighbour or a shared CGNAT server.

We are well past the point where nobody has any reasonable excuse to use Chrome, and the choice to do so is to actively compromise their own safety and security.

Every other browser has already done this. Every. Single. One. But Google won't until they have added a new way to violate user privacy instead. Privacy is a fundamental part of security, you are not reasonably secure if using Chrome. Full stop.

If you absolutely need the Chromium engine, there's Edge or Brave. Both are pretty much 100% compatible, but don't think security is a joke.

If you work on "security" at Google, and you actually mean it, walk out until third party cookies are disabled by default. Tell managers you won't gaslight people into believing they're safe when Google has placed ad revenue so squarely above security and plans to not solve it for at least another two years.
You simply don't push anything that has sensitive information in it. You pick and choose. Stow makes this easy, because the only things being pushed are files you explicitly move to a specific directory.

Real world example:

- Let's say I want to version control ~/.ssh/config and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

- I move these two files to ~/.dotfiles/ssh

- ~/.dotfiles is version controlled, so I push the new files to gitlab. I'm only pushing two harmless files: my ssh configs, and authorized keys. Git, stow, and ~/.dotfiles don't see anything else.

- After pushing, I run "stow ssh" inside ~/.dotfiles. This symlinks these two files to ~/.ssh

I don't worry about pushing anything sensitive, because it's basically impossible for me to accidentally move something to ~/.dotfiles and then run 'git push.'
Do you have any reason to believe it is anything beyond a developer wanting to record usage and runtime issues?

Circumstantial activity like the denial and deletion of data surrounding the research at the lab is irrelevant too?
PostgreSQL is now facing that too. Since the current fad is building everything as distributed micro-services(no matter the scale!) and PostgreSQL encourages a centralized database, it tends to get dismissed for other solutions (that often aren't anywhere near as good).

"Doesn't scale" gets thrown around often. Yeah sure, but sometimes it doesn't _have_ to. I've seen large fleets of NoSQL databases (won't name to avoid flamewars) running workloads they are not really optimal for. Or PostgreSQL databases completely bogged down and vertically scaled to ridiculous levels because teams don't bother to optimize their queries.

Query performance is not part of OKRs, but new releases usually are.
I absolutely loved KDE 3 back then.

Konqueror was awesome. File Manager and Web Browser in one! For some ideological reasons they decided to introduce Dolphin as a file manager in KDE 4 which had much less features.

I ended up switching to Xfce though these days I also use Cinnamon (also Gnome 2 inspired) because it is the Linux Mint default choice. Though I hate that they have recently tried to make Cinnamon look more "fresh" and keep changing it so I probably will end up going back to Xfce if it still the same.

“consumption of counterfactual legal precedent”

I think you misread the article (or I’m misreading you). There were no counterfactual legal precedents published. They took a set of cases and for half of them published Wikipedia articles on them for half, did not publish them (the non-publication was the counterfactual case, not the contents of the articles).
Self driving is a little bit of money and a lot of sweat? Umm... I don't think I've ever seen such a major understatement.

The DARPA challenge kicked off a many many billions of dollars arms race of private capital and we're only just starting to see a trickle of self driving cars on the road some 18 years later. Not to mention meaningful R&D advancements in AI, sensing software algorithms, HW sensing capabilities, etc that have seen applications outside of self driving.

I don’t see how that’s a simple explanation. We know we lose consciousness, totally, on a regular basis yet when we awake the world is still there. It’s always consistent and doesn’t radically change as our consciousness changes. We can set devices to record activity in the world while we are unconscious, and their recordings seem consistent. The simplest explanation seems to be that the world is real and persistent, but our consciousness is transient.

If the world arises from consciousness, we would expect that changes in conscious states would persistently alter consensus reality. But we never see that happen.

I don’t think that’s what was implied.

In the abstract it seems much easier to get alignment on a national security question (especially one as cut and dry as this one, which is don’t let your nation’s semiconductor supply fall under the control of a hostile foreign country), than it is to get alignment on a much more ideological and philosophical question about how to solve poverty.

Agree though that this was a bit of a miss; the cost of drives here dwarfs everything else, and it makes the choice of case, MB, etc. nearly irrelevant and needlessly cost optimized. Why not spend an extra $60 and get a 5.25->6x 2.5 hot swap cage, for example?

Fun article on the state of LinkedIn. My latest WTF on there was seeing someone post about the 5 professional life lessons they’d learnt from their new Golden Retriever puppy. “3. Be curious and open to new things”.

LinkedIn is for me, like Facebook that I stick with because every now and then it’s actually useful. But beyond one or two practical features I find the platform’s social network absolutely repulsive. Reading psycho LinkedIn posts is more depressing and funny than the UK version of The Office.

Ah, Texas. I have a quote about nuclear there, from Exelon in 2018.

https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.4088

> “The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.

(current natural gas price at the Henry Hub is $8.67/MMBtu, which is $5.70/MMBtu in 2005 dollars)

Note that the current tightness in ERCOT is tailor-made for solar. The recent weeks' daily demand peaks would be squashed by additional PV capacity, and no storage would be required.

https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards

The modeling I was talking about can be found here.

https://model.energy/

It defaults to using 2030 projections for cost data, but that's ok because any new NPP effort started today likely would not be online before 2030, if then.

That's another problem with nuclear: it's competing against the renewables and storage of the next 40 years, not those of today. Going with nuclear (in addition to being optimistic about the cost of new nuclear) is making a bet that those stop decreasing in cost, and soon.

What the experts with skin in the game think can be seen by where the markets are allocating investment. It's into renewables, not into nuclear. From the point of view of the hardnosed financiers nuclear is a loser, and losers don't get money, they get shown the door. And yet, there's still this weird tech bro fixation with nuclear, for no reason that's grounded in reality.
> It's always interesting for me to see that I'm so alone in loving Gnome 3.

You're not alone. Complaints always get projected louder and wider than happiness.

GNOME 2 was the same way. So many users treating it as the end of the world, and it took a few versions to improve and fix initial issues, but after those first couple of versions it was a great upgrade. GNOME 3 likewise took a couple of versions to find its feet, and then it was a great upgrade.
I have a reason to believe that it is a company wanting something beyond what many or most of the users would prefer.
IME, nothing in this universe or life is permanent. It is temporality and impermanence that define our existence.
Nice graph that of renewables production on your link. It's always interesting when you get one of those predictions of "yep, it's have grown exponentially since the beginning, but an inflection will start right now and we will only have the low-growth half of the logistic function at the future".

I suggest your source has a bad model.

Anyway, you are talking about costs of renewables production compared with gas. There's nothing to discuss on that anymore, renewables are cheaper when they can produce, their costs are falling, and fossil fuel costs are predicted to slowly raise forever. The only costs with any space to compare and discuss nowadays are about storage, not production.
Averaging inflation over 50 years is dressing for the average annual temperature rather than how hot it actually is today.

The best measurement of stability is to take the absolute magnitude (1) value of inflation or deflation and average that. 20% deflation does horrific things to the economy and alternating randomly between 25% inflation or 20% deflation would insanely destructive.

(1) 20% increase and 20% decrease don’t cancel each other out you want the inverse for negatives.
> Instagram couldn't switch their algorithm because people think they still want to see the content they've been seeing...

This will differ a lot based on the user. I only use Instagram to keep tabs on activities in a few venues I frequent. I follow those and I only see what they post. Perfect. For it to show me random crap that's trending would totally break it for me. I haven't noticed this yet but I'm not even using their app, only the website.

Similarly, Facebook killed itself for me when it moved from the timeline to the algorithm driven feed. The feed showed me more random crap and less of the people I was interested in. Eventually I left and replaced it with nothing.

This was the second Linux distro that I tried (Caldera Open Linux being the first). It was very usable for the time and didn't look too bad, either. While it never fully had a grip on my interest, looking back Corel Linux did show me what a Linux distro for someone with few or lesser-developed techie skills looked like. It paved the way for my exploration, and continued use, of Linux. So in that way, Corel Linux did its job.
This comment would've been mostly* the case a number of years ago - and describes a sane, measured approach to editorial control.

It has changed. There are users with scripts running to detect any additions that don't fit their model, no matter how uncontroversial. It's become difficult to contribute even on the most boring of topics.

* I say "mostly" because the funny thing about controversial topics is that it's often the contributors (rather than "deleters") that possess the greater amount of persistence in pushing the content they want added and kept. So very politically loaded subjects will suffer from the opposite problem, resulting in sprawling trees of linked articles on a subject, each a huge bulk of prose wrestled through numerous talk page threads of PoV objections.

It's the normal/mundane stuff that gets summarily deleted and forgotten about forever.
> makes a more meaningful difference in more peoples lives

Many people in this country want their chances to be better, and not have those opportunities distributed evenly. They want a shot of improving their status by ascending career, wealth, and opportunity gradients. This is how they vote. This is how companies operate too.

On the flip side, true universal equity doesn't even stop at the national boarder. If you're a proponent of equitability for all, then you want to distribute all high income jobs, housing, medical care, and wealth all around the world and give everyone access and good chances. To some degree this has happened with manufacturing. In time it will happen to knowledge work as well.

There are problems with both models of the world. Power and resources become concentrated. With slowing growth, wealth building up the lower class of one nation leads to the eroding of the middle class in another.

It's unclear to me that these choices are even the ones that will dominate the future outcomes for our civilization. It's resource reallocation. The big trends will be war, technological disruptions, and ecosystem changes.
