Why pack so many different things into a single project?

If I want to build a dashboard with multiple widgets on the screen, my first step would be to look for a layout tool. Which allows me to handle how the screen is divided into multiple areas and offers an interative interface so I can open, move, resize and close those areas.

I would not want a bundle that combines the layout tool with charts and forms and whatnot.

For example, if I want an area to be used for an interactive chart, I would want to build that with whatever solution I like best. Personally I already use Plotly for many things, so I would go with that.
(genuine question) What was the historical fear with systemd? That behaviors get hidden behind binaries rather than shell scripts? Has the fear been realized?

All systemd units can be edited easily, they're files in a filesystem. Journald logs are binary but journalctl gives you ways to output it.

Why is a registry file called a "hive"?

There's a good chunk of price to performance tradeoff. Taking samsung as an example, currently their lower end is $95/TB and their higher end is $125/TB. WD currently has a cheap QLC for $75/TB and a gen4 drive for $140/TB.

This is looking mostly around the 2TB range, and mostly M.2

It's hard to physically fit large amounts onto an M.2, but a 2.5 inch SATA drive would hold a big pile of QLC flash just fine.

I suppose the SATA bottleneck just looks bad. Maybe if we had better consumer support for 2.5 inch drives with NVMe then companies would be more willing to make that size.

Such a term would be poison to most game developers, particularly in the early days of Steam when it had nothing more than a handful of first party games. Before Steam achieved market dominance, how would they have convinced third party developers to accept it?

> Social media and Websites in general are like TV shows or recording artists

I don't think this is necessarily true. All of these social media companies serve different purposes with a focus on different types of content. When a new content format appears, users will flock there until they either get bored or a competitor iterates on that format and provides a better experience.

The first era of mainstream social media was really kicked off by Myspace, which was overtaken by FB only a few years later. Though, I think attempting to draw parallels from that era to today is foolish. Myspace gave users way too much control which made their site completely unusable. The app was also just flat-out broken in many places. They drove their own users away. There also was no young vs old divide there, in fact, the average age of FB was probably higher than Myspace.

Instagram threatened Facebook with their focus on "good" photography taken in the moment, tagged to specific locations. Facebook quickly acquired them but both apps continued growing and retained much of the same user base for a long while.

Snapchat launched after Instagram and there were similar talks of them killing Instagram, but then Instagram launched the same functionality and overtook Snapchat, bringing many of those younger users into their network.

Now we are seeing the rise of TikTok with their top-notch recommendation algos and short-form video content. In this case, I think Instagram moved too slowly in cloning TikTok's experience/content, but it's still too early to tell what will happen.

As another example, take a look at Reddit. It's been on a steady rise since its inception. There was Digg at the beginning, but again, they (like Myspace) were responsible for their own demise. It was not a cultural battle between the young vs old. Reddit has maintained their existing demographic, while consistently keeping the younger generation engaged. In Reddit's case, they are the best aggregators of content so that's where people go.

My point is that this idea that younger users just want to use a different social network to define themselves or get away from the older generations doesn't prove out in the records. It comes down to different experiences that facilitate different types of content. If the existing players are able to improve on that experience that results in the same (or better) level of content, they can steal those users back (or in the case of Reddit, achieve such dominance that nobody comes even close).

Many countries allow dual citizenship, so I'm not sure just getting citizenship somewhere else is enough in every case.

I'm not sure the specifics of when they deny renouncing citizenship, but if you don't have citizenship somewhere else or your visa to that country is as a U.S. citizen, I could see those as being valid cases for rejection until those are resolved (also if you have outstanding warrants or are under investigation for something).
> NixOS, like totally tossed LFS out, 100%

Not quite. NixOS still relies heavily on the FHS layout. It just dropped the usage of some global directories in order to provide features it otherwise couldn't have.

More specifically:

* Only a few top-level directories are actually dropped, like /bin, /lib, /share, and /usr. Well technically /usr exists, but it only has /usr/bin/env in it and /usr/bin is excluded from the default $PATH.

* Individual packages placed under /nix/store/ still adheres to FHS. While packages technically don't need to adhere to FHS, Nix expects commands to be placed under ./bin, man pages under ./share/man, and so on and so forth.
Dang that’s cool, I used tridactyl a bit in web browsers and it just got too messy in a browser (in addition to the new key bindings).

It seems to me a large part of web accessibility is being able to navigate a computer without even a mouse (hey that’s what vim does) but I really wish there was full OS support for this (seems to be the goal for kindaVim?) opposed to a “layer”.

I backup all the games I have on Steam locally. If they ever go under, I will get a DRM crack.
I didn’t even realize Stadia required you to actually buy games. I assumed the whole point of streaming is you pay a monthly fee for unlimited access to content. The business gets a cashflow it can securitize and sell on Wall St., and the customer gets unlimited content access, everyone’s happy. Really weird that Stadia required you to (also?) buy each game you wanted to play. If not for that, they never would have had to answer difficult questions like this.

> The more honest answer would be that there are so many large gaps in our knowledge that we truly don't know.

Are the gaps really that large? We know that some configurations of nucleotids are enough to create a full metabolism, we know that they arrange at random, and we know how most of them appeared.

Except for the few nucleotides that we don't know how they existed, we do know that if you have enough of them on enough places, some kind of life will appear. So looks like the open question here is how those molecules appeared.

i had a similar experience. when i started to study i did an internship at a friends company where i was programming ATMs and related software with case tools in your typical office environment. i decided then, that i hated working in an office and even though i studied computer science, i'd not work as a fulltime programmer.

until i discovered the pike programming language, and i realized that programming is actually fun, or as you say effortless and enjoyable and i realized that working in an office was not the reason why i didn't like programming but not working on meaningful projects with enjoyable tools.

There's an interesting tension here. On one hand, GraphQL is versatile and can simplify frontend data handling code. On the other, as schema and data sizes grow, query expressiveness is limited and performance can be quite difficult to maintain.

I've put GraphQL in front of TB-scale data sources with X00,000 tables, and it was clear that (a) GraphQL wasn't designed for anything that big, and (b) if we could get it there, it would be transformational.

This is why I built Trustfall[0]: a system that keeps the elegant GraphQL syntax, and tweaks the semantics to ensure great performance and better expressiveness: left joins / recursion / aggregations / arbitrary filters etc. Trustfall flips the proposition around: acknowledge we're wrapping a database around every data source (API server / database / filesystem / ML etc.) and make it the best possible database it could be.

I gave a talk on it titled "How to Query (Almost) Everything" at the HYTRADBOI'22 conference: https://www.hytradboi.com/2022/how-to-query-almost-everythin...

I also recently used it to build cargo-semver-checks[1], a semver linter for Rust crates where each semver rule is implemented as a query using Trustfall's GraphQL + custom directives syntax.

>while the aging population is larger than the younger population who are working at first that’s just because during the elder generations birth rate was higher. As that ages out of the population you’re back to an equilibrium.
