Agreed, but I have little control over IT policies. Third-party repos are strictly prohibited unless there is a compelling reason and they are blessed by IT.

Tweaks help, but it is still terrible compared to the customizations that GNOME 2 offered "in the box".
>Raise the fares to $20 (and enforce it) and perhaps I’d consider riding public transit. But after my experiences with the BART and piss-soaked, rat infested NYC subway stations, no thank you. If I want thrills hanging out with a bunch of psychotics waiting for an excuse to push you onto the tracks, I’d rather BASE jump the Met Life building instead.

It doesn't have to be like this. It didn't used to be like this. It might take a few years, but eventually the new generation/ Progressive experimentation with 're-imagining' criminal justice will come to an end. At the moment, those unhinged folks (where I saw an almost aggression just days ago at 845 am) aren't behind bars, a few years ago serial criminals would be either in jail in and out, or in prison being punished for a crime. Today they're.. just about everywhere but.

That's just a fact of the situation. Now we can discuss the morality of putting people behind bars, etc. And have a reasonable conversation. Meanwhile the cities are unsafe, and NYC has an unemployment rate of 8 percent because office workers would rather be remote, and that hurts the economy.

Corporations have no fiduciary duty to produce a profit. Thinking that they do has been attributed to Milton Friedman's 1971 NY editorial [0], but some argue that the notion can't be pinned on him [1] It's more accurate to say that fiduciary responsibilities are to ensure the corporation doesn't violate the law and that the firm doesn't go out of business [2].

When I moved to Santa Monica (Los Angeles) in January 2000 I made many text files on neighbor Mac desktops explaining how having sharing turned made their private files available to everyone in the 'hood via their cable modem.

It’s particularly frustrating because there’s an Israeli company with a very similar name as ours, so all of their out-of-country posts constantly get attached to our company’s profile (along with a bunch of negative reviews complaining about the cleanliness of the on-site bathrooms, yet we are a 100% remote company with no offices)

It was a major struggle to get those reviews removed.

I agree that once kids are in the mix "walk everywhere" gets more challenging.

There are more savvy ways to do it though, like getting stuff delivered - it's not a dichotomy between carrying stuff everywhere and hauling it in a car. It is a bit painful at first to get used to paying an extra $5-10 here and there for delivery, but it's nothing in comparison to the cost of a car, not to mention the time it saves. Any time something is heavy enough that I dread carrying it I just get it delivered (which for groceries, I generally do once every 1-2 weeks).

Of course there are a lot of caveats, like using specific delivery services which don't create headaches or charge exorbitant prices. I hate hate hate substitutions/when something is out of stock, but it essentially never happens with Amazon Fresh or Food Rocket (a startup in SF), is rare for Whole Foods, and mildly infrequent with Safeway - none of which have extra markup for delivered goods beyond a transparent delivery fee. I've heard too many horror stories about Instacart or other services to even bother though.

As an aside, that is something I've noticed about car ownership, that people treat all the costs as its own thing without looking at the marginal cost it adds to the various things they do. When deciding to go carless, that was one of the strongest arguments tipping me over. Just what I was paying in insurance and gas was enough to cover all my delivery fees and public transit costs.

Nuclear seawater extraction is already conducted, at a price of about $200 per pound [1]. Raw fuel extraction is a small portion of nuclear's cost (enrichment is a much bigger portion) so this is not a significant cost increase.

I didn't use or play Zelda Classic but I was a young kid and later teenager trying to make games in Qbasic, RM2K/3, GameMaker, BYOND, MUD makers, and so on. It was a huge part of my life and inspired a life and passion in IT.

I miss the forums and communities from back then. Gaming World aka gamingw.net was my old haunt. Rival GamingGroundZero was another popular community at the same time. Late 90s early 00s. I had a lot of really close friends that I may never talk to again. That's life though.

Ok, am I going completely mad? Feels like the first RISC-V a person could actually buy released shortly before the pandemic...
On a personal note, the most interesting part here is that I did the
release (and am writing this) on an arm64 laptop. It's something I've
been waiting for for a _loong_ time, and it's finally reality, thanks
to the Asahi team. We've had arm64 hardware around running Linux for a
long time, but none of it has really been usable as a development
platform until now.

It's the third time I'm using Apple hardware for Linux development - I
did it many years ago for powerpc development on a ppc970 machine.
And then a decade+ ago when the Macbook Air was the only real
thin-and-lite around. And now as an arm64 platform.

Not that I've used it for any real work, I literally have only been
doing test builds and boots and now the actual release tagging. But
I'm trying to make sure that the next time I travel, I can travel with
this as a laptop and finally dogfooding the arm64 side too.
That’s not true though. The shareholders are people so what they want are as varied as what people want.

Does Elon want SpaceX to be super profitable or does he want to make life multi planetary? (They aren’t mutually exclusive, but it’s weird to think that he is just trying to make as much profit as possible).
Heh, I guess it could read like that. I just can't see how GPT3 could be used to help with a genuine paper (like copilot does for code). If it's just cheating, that's not very interesting.

Perhaps @chiefalchemist is thinking about how salty water is more floaty water.
Despite a long-term fascination with botany and medicine, finishing high school I didn't feel that stressing myself to try to get in to medicine was a smart idea. Came back to it a few years ago during COVID and learned with some supportive PhDs at a local plant study group. I'm still firmly at the beginner-intermediate stage but have greatly enjoyed iNaturalist and rediscovering microscopy (the industrial camera based digital microscopes are awesome and can output HDMI directly). Despite being busy with work I've already spotted many endangered species, some of them are the first identifications. I do regret that I had not studied more earlier, as it really adds great interest and depth to exploring new environments during travel.

When trying to learn any new discipline, I recommend this strategy. First, identify some competent world-class universities. Second, search for their related programs. Third, obtain a list of textbooks for those courses. Finally, obtain said textbooks (eg. LibGen). However, if you are feeling lazy just search the topic directly (but be sure to use the scientific title) and then order descending by year. Any textbook with three or more editions is probably well regarded. This method would recommend: ISE Stern's Introductory Plant Biology (15th edition), Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology (6th edition), Botany for gardeners (3rd edition), Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification (6th edition), Laboratory Topics in Botany (8th edition).

yeah - but it would need a whole bunch to see where the clot would pop up! But also, PE test isn't usually done with ultrasound - it's sensitivity is too low for PE.

This still does not provide any proof for the claim. Of course Marxists want to promote their ideology, even culturally. Nobody denies this. The claim made by people using the term "Cultural Marxism", and the reason it is a conspiracy theory, is that said Marxists do so for the purpose of destroying Western culture.

Again, to be clear: I am not asking for proof that Marxists promoted Marxism (obviously they did), but that they did so "to subvert Western culture".
That. Most cars today contain one person – the driver.

Until we have full autonomy, they have to keep their focus on the road.

I read about four books/month.
Whenever I used public transport to commute that number doubled.

Not so when I commuted by car.

And don't tell me I can listen to audio books. This doesn't compare in reading speed.
And it is also is a dangerous distraction for most driving situations that are not an empty highway or a traffic jam.

And yet, for all the gnashing of teeth, those people never seem to appear.

Fixing X11 is basically shaving an infinite number of yaks. Wayland is the X11 developers trying to bound the problem to a finite number of yaks. They can only do this by punting everything they possibly can out of the system.

To be perfectly honest, the Wayland developers don't have an option.

Screenshots are a continual complaint--but it is by no means settled as to what entity and mechanism controls the security and permissions behind that and how. Punting window decorations to the clients is annoying--but any other choice likely means that you need a full text rendering system in your window manager. And if you want an "interesting" task, go help both the X11 and Wayland devlopers deal with all the race conditions and problems around the "simple" task of integrating with Vulkan and getting/presenting a surface and handling the swapchains (extension VK_KHR_surface, VK_KHR_swapchain, VK_KHR_xlib_surface, VK_KHR_wayland_surface)--lots of bugs exist and have since 2015. Try tackling the sequence of events around "resize"--you're in for an eye-opening experience.

Yet, even after the Wayland guys atomized this stuff, nobody in the open source software world is picking up the work. Maybe the DeadRat guys are rejecting submissions, but I suspect it's more that people simply aren't willing to grind through this stuff. It's a bunch of detailed, system-level programming with LOTS of gotchas all over the place.

Dunno. Maybe they should say that they are rewriting it in Rust. That might actually attract some people willing to put in work.
Krunner is super finicky about it though, especially since it won't handle even the simplest of mixed units (eg. neither 6ft 2in or 6'2" works, where 6ft, 6', 2", and 2in all give conversions on their own).

...and then after it fails, if you hit enter or click at the top of the results like you would to copy the value, it launches whatever random program burbled to the top when it gave up.
Awesome! I remember Linus wanting to use the M1 macbooks but he was very somber on Linux working on there.

You have probably read it, but if not, you might like to read "Manufacturing Consent", which discusses much the same behaviour in various previous western wars. The whole Iraq thing played out just like Chomsky and Herman wrote: leadership wanted a war and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

> A few days after Mario Draghi confirmed his resignation as prime minister on 21 July, members and leaders of the coalition began preparing their electoral campaign by posting on Twitter news of crimes and rapes allegedly committed by “fake refugees” and “illegal immigrants”. Tackling immigration and tightening national security are among the coalition’s priorities.

But those didn't cause outrage? Nor the case where a priest was killed by the same immigrant he was helping [1]? Only this one? Where the perpetrator is already under arrest? And those other crimes and murders are just random acts, unconnected to any political party or rhetoric, while this one has a straight line connecting it to anti-immigration parties?

Sensationalizing random acts of violence caught on camera is something I'd expect from a rag like the Daily Mail, not a supposedly respectable news source like The Guardian.

The Turbo Pascal compiler was based on the Blue Label Pascal compiler originally produced for the NasSys cassette-based operating system of the Nascom microcomputer in 1981 by Anders Hejlsberg. Borland licensed Hejlsberg's "PolyPascal" compiler core (Poly Data was the name of Hejlsberg's company in Denmark), and added the user interface and editor. Anders Hejlsberg joined the company as an employee and was the architect for all versions of the Turbo Pascal compiler and the first three versions of Borland Delphi.[2]

> If you mean behaviours, structs, protocols, modules and maps, then I can kinda see that, although Clojure has most of these too. But if you mean actors? Well

I kind of implied all of that, but I was specifically referring to the concept of modules and all its feature-sets, which together, in my opinion, does lead to a more OO like style of programming, especially structs, processes, behaviors and use, those things I feel are really similar to classes and inheritance. And there's also the dotted syntax for both map and struct access.

While yes, it's different than your common OO, in practice, you end up using these things similarly.

In Pheonix, simply put, almost all extension points relies on the __using__ macro, __MODULE__ compile time macro and use keyword. So it ends up very similar to an OOP framework, you basically extend classes, but you do so by using `use` instead of using `extend`, and a macro that copies over code and dynamically set the module name, instead of having an inherited lookup table.

How it's achieved is very different, but as a user of Pheonix, the ergonomics end up very similar.

Look at this:

defmodule TodoWeb.ItemsController do
use TodoWeb, :controller

alias Todo.Items

def index(conn, _params) do
items = Items.list_items()
render(conn, "index.html", items: items)
end
end

Yes, this isn't exactly a class, but like:

package TodoWeb;

import Todo.Items;

class ItemsController extends TodoWebController

public index(conn, params) {
var items = Items.listItems();
this.render(conn, "index.html", items);
}
}

How similar is the user experience?

And TodoWebController similary uses Phoenix.Controller, etc. It gives you a very similar feel to an inheritance tree, and pluging-in behavior in the framework by class extension.

Namespaces in Clojure really don't have this feel to them at all, now maybe you could shenaningan something similar with some similar macro convention over namespaces in Clojure, but it definitely isn't encouraged by the language or community the way it is in Elixir.

So in general, I feel modules in Elixir have a much closer feel to them to classes/objects in OO languages, and you end up using them similarly, where-as that's not the case for Clojure namespaces.

- If I actually want to start conversations, I get a lot more comments on HN or Reddit

- When I was a job searcher, the idea of just being able to apply from my profile was really cool. Except every job just re-directed you to some form that wanted you to upload a resume anyway.

- Of the handful of potential clients who have found me there, none have ended up signing a contract. Better odds just talking on random slack channels.

- It's getting more and more cringe. Call me a prude but it's really tacky when people post photos of stuff like their wife and their baby asleep on the couch. Do you really want to post your families intimate moments to get likes on a "professional" social network?

- If I'm honest with myself I realise that I just replaced my addiction to one blue site (FB) with another.

SiFive released the Linux capable RISC-V dev kits years ago and for long time now there has been many options besides what SiFive offers. Only few however are “cheap”.

Maybe not mad, but certainly not very good at searching.

CORRECTION: 2010 was the _founding_ of the RISC-V project. I don't have the date of the 1.0 release, but nobody would ship hardware based on a 1.0. Release 2.2 (user)/1.11 (priv) wasn't released until 2018! Light of this, hardware is actually coming out pretty quickly.

Hardware is expensive and takes a long time. In comparison, Arm was founded in 1990. When was the first Linux-capable Arm-based dev board available for purchase?

I'm probably as unhappy with the delays as anyone, but the momentum has not slowed and better options _will_ become available for sale.
I met her at a Star Trek convention long ago when I was much younger. I remember her emphasizing her contribution to race-relations and the other thing I remember is she kept some kind of mixed alcohol drink flowing throughout the convention such that by the time we were at the end, she was a little bit slurry.

I also met Scotty. He had a much more jovial attitude and wasn't as "into his contribution or legacy".
