If you're interested in something managed and curious about performance, I just published https://WPHostingBenchmarks.com this week (with 2022 data - 33 companies, 79 hosting plans benchmarked for performance). There was one company on there that offers a command line tool to stand up WP servers on your own Digital Ocean account as well.
The Applications/Places/System is not a good idea: it doesn't scale. It worked relatively well at the time because people had something in the order of tens of megabytes of free space, allowing only a few programs installed. Nobody does that with smartphones for a reason.
Study Finds Another Condition That Vitamin D Pills Do Not Help
Regardless of the reasons, I'm quite happy with Gnome 3 as my daily driver. Once I understood the design philosophy of the /Shell/ aspect of /Gnome Shell/, the friction disappeared. The idea is that Gnome 3 can (should) be a keyboard-centric UI for most tasks whereas Gnome 2 and other similar UI's were/are arguably mouse-centric. For me, it's much faster to navigate using hotkeys and shortcuts than mouse/trackpad movements.
Ignoring the one or two other problems ;) with this idea, a 170km by 200m mirrored wall isn't going to be the best thing that ever happened for birds.
> Clearly, handouts are needed to force/incentivize these companies to build new fabs in the continental US. Otherwise they would have built them under their own gumption by now.

That doesn't make sense. I could declare that lollypops are needed, or a third sequel to Space Jam on the same evidence. It's just affirming the consequent. I think that these companies aren't building new fabs because I personally am too poor, so the best way to get us out of this rut is to hand me the billions.

edit: the government needs to stop giving wealthy people money. Buy equity in the companies and get on their boards, don't just hand wealthy people cash and pretend it's capitalism.

Sorry to be pedant, but using good prefix, or even suffix for C library is a must, and come up with something unique (and "fleur" is kind of cool), probably good idea to prefix with it, and then it can be used without any current or future symbol clashes.
The SuSe agreement was really about networking and filesystems. At the time, SuSe had been bought by Novell - a networking company. They saw Linux as the future of their business, but the risks around Windows interop as a real threat to that business. They did not have an adversarial relationship with MS (actually the opposite), so they moved to mitigate those risks with a friendly agreement. Other companies did not share those interests. This post is bad revisionism.

(As an aside, what MS did or did not do in the '90s really has no bearing on what they did in the '00s or later. 90s MS was a hustling startup, '00s MS was a corporate behemoth. Like Apple pre- and post-iPhone, they changed behavior and (declared) values once they became the top dog.)

Nethack is notoriously unfair with the player, and not a really winnable game. The player can be killed at any moment without allowing a single defensive move. If I think that the game was cheating, I act accordingly.

To reiterate, the --no-folding flag prevents creation of symlinked directories, and it really should be the default behavior.

I don't blame you for not knowing about this flag. Here's its description in the manpage:

> Disable folding of newly stowed directories when stowing, and refolding of newly foldable directories when unstowing.

This is confusing because it's a circular definition. It doesn't explain what "folding" means. It should just read, "prevents creation of symlinked directories" or something.

I wanted to say corruption, because that's usually a simple root cause of many such failures... whether it's corruption because of nepotism or graft or just pure theft, the result is delivering something far less than should have been achievable.

> Plasma/KDE was also very windows-like, so I don’t buy the argument that Microsoft was the cause, it was mostly gnome devs thinking that they could get a radical touch-first redesign in before anyone else.

The article does touch on that, apparently Suse signed a patent deal with MS which sidestepped the issues so they could continue the design as usual. Gnome and Redhat refused.

If this is true it kinda reinforces my feeling that Gnome 3 was a redesign for the sake of it. I hate almost everything about it though I'm not married to the windows concept. But everything about it just feels wrong. The huge "touch-friendly" title bars, the menus hidden in hamburger buttons, the lack of configuration options like macOS. And I really tried to like it. When I moved back to FOSS from Mac it was my first choice.

I love KDE though only recently, I thought KDE 3 was too cluttery. It feels like it only came into its own right with Plasma. And I don't find it all that Windows-like though the taskbar certainly is more Windows-like than other DE's. But a taskbar doth not a windows make. Overall I find it distinctly different from Windows. The control panel is definitely a lot better than that mashup of different styles in Windows.
I'm still using gnome 2 with Unity on Ubuntu 16 ESM while Gnome 3+ has no future on my notebooks. Never thought that Gnome 2's LaF is Windows-y; if anything, it looks more like Mac Os, with global menu and minimal window decorations. I always thought Gnome devs wanted to jump onto the tablet bandwagon (or simply wanted to try out something different and non-WIMPy), but failed hard.
> money was being thrown around

Im not really educated about the GNOME world, but I was involved on KDE side of things (very minor contributor). Money was _never_ thrown around. At best, a handful of engineers from a few different companies (TrollTech/Nokia, Novell/SUSE, Red Hat, Canonical) were hired to work full time and that was pretty much it. I don't think more than 10-15 engineers have done paid worked on KDE at any given time. Most of the contributions were volunteers.

There was a few attempts on KDE side to get paid by Intel to develop an office suite for mobile but it was also pretty small.

And to this date that is still the case with KDE. Very few engineers paid to work on it hired by entirely different set of companies like Blue Systems or Krita trying to make a living with very modest donations and contributions.

KDE is one of the biggest softwares out there. It was the first SVN repository to reach 1 million commits, etc etc and most of it has been volunteer work. Any claim that money was thrown at KDE really upsets me because it would be a complete mischaracterization of the nature of the project and motivations of people behind it.

Your main point is valid though. FAT and SMB patents were more serious threats.
It's always interesting for me to see that I'm so alone in loving Gnome 3. As a keyboard heavy user, it has always matched my workflow. I never appreciated a start menu. It leaves essentially the full screen for my program. The settings drop-downs are intuitive.

Granted I use the Material Shell tiling extension now, but vanilla gnome 3 will always have a place in my heart.

Even with the low light abilities, its not like low light photography was impossible before the sony a7s.... You do things like use a tripod or monopod. You can bring in supplemental lighting. You can also hand hold a wider lens and get away with lower shutter speeds too, and pull up what you can in post processing from the raw file. Noise can be made to look a lot more like film grain using some tricks in lightroom.

No clear replacement for FLoC?
The real question is how many of those people are getting off the social networks, which are highly monetized, in exchange for people who are joining WhatsApp, which is nearly un-monetized.

If Facebook and Instagram are losing the eyeballs of rich young people, and instead the DAUs are Indians and Latin Americans (as far as I know, these are the demographics on WhatsApp) with a lot less disposable income, those ad dollars are going to run away fast.

It looks like that shift has begun to happen, with the reductions in ad prices and the increase in sales expenses for less revenue.
I was heavily tied to my religion since I was a child, and I'd reason almost all things in life in contrast to it, especially from a scientific stand-point, to make it look and sound legit to my perspective as much as I could, I was very faithful, but still kept it in moderation.

When it suddenly clicked to me that maybe I was just deluding myself my whole life, and that was a few months after I went to my hometown from the big city I used to live in and study after the implosion I undergone through, I found myself heavily tied to so many ideologies I no longer wanted to be tied to, and I basically had to think of how I'd reconstruct my identity from the ground up.
I started dropping my beliefs bits by bits, and re-evaluated my view of a lot of things I used to be against/for. On another hand, I also went into a complete hiatus, confining myself from the environment I was living in. I did cut my ties to everyone I used to know, and got into an escapism whirlpool for a few years while being as minimalistically hedonistic as I can as long as I don't get to affect or hurt anyone by it(I basically went into lazy mode, but I didn't want to put any burden of guilt on myself for that period of time).

Since past year or so, I got out of that escapism loop, started getting social again, but I'm also pretty cautious in term who I want to spend my time with, especially since I did "waste"(I don't regret it) a good amount of it when I was keeping it to myself for that period of time.

The implosion I had did made me rethink so many things in life, and I'm very thankful it did happens nonetheless.
> GNOME 2 was perfect. … MATE … It’s not perfect …

Is MATE worse than GNOME 2 used to be?

I just switched to MATE and I have run into all sorts of odd bugs.

1. If I position an external monitor above the primary, I can’t put any windows in the overlapping portion along the x axis.

2. If I disconnect and reconnect the external monitor, maximized windows return to their original monitor but half-maximized windows don’t.

3. If I disconnect and reconnect the external monitor, the background becomes tiled instead of zoomed with Marco + compositing and it blacks out and the desktop flickers with Compiz.

4. With Compiz, I can constrain the window switcher across all windows to the current workspace but I cannot constrain the window switcher within app group to the current workspace.

5. With Marco + compositing, due to a regression, taking a screenshot of a single window includes the boundary around it that contains the window’s shadow.

There was something else too but I forget. Quite dispiriting but I have given up on finding the perfect desktop.
5 year periods don't affect employee compensation packages. Most people in tech last at a company for 2 years. Most cliffs are at the 4 year mark. META has dumped harder than most of the other Big Tech companies over the last year, but it's also the newest and has more growth priced in than the others who have been around for longer.

If we look at YTD:

- MSFT: -19.68%

- GOOG: -21.67%

- AMZN: -29.02%

- AAPL: -13.93%

- META: -49.91%

You're losing money on your compensation package anyway. If your base salary is high enough at META (given cash on hand), then it can offset losses at most of these other companies. That said, META is probably most poised to suffer from a brain drain because of its relative stock performance. I still don't think it's going to lead to any sort of talent crisis (unless this triggers an exodus of senior talent holding the company's infra going or some other cultural factor.)
Spotify transitions to a “song like those in your playlist” when a playlist finishes…and 95% of those songs are from the playlist I just finished listening to…makes no sense.
I think you are right about STM being roughly equivalent to snapshot isolation.

> Apple has also adjusted the length of time you’ll have to unsend a message from 15 minutes to just two.

Big change! I wonder what the reasoning was for starting with 15, and why they shortened it so much.

> You’re also now only allowed to make five edits to an individual message.

Makes sense, since the UI could get a bit messy if infinite edits were allowed. And it's hard to think of a reason you'd need to edit a message that many times.

My main use case for this will be that my wife and I message each other grocery lists, and then invariably add things in subsequent messages. It will be better to just edit the original message, so the whole list stays visible instead of requiring scrolling. I assume my phone will buzz again when the message is edited? I wonder how the notification will flow to my Pebble...

Personally I kind of fright from the "have you considered throwing away your best copies" as a sales strategy.

On the flip side, I think it would help a lot a lot a lot if there was more discourse out there about compressing high-dynamic-range content. AV1 supposedly has some capability to do a good-ish job with HDR. The idea of taking reels of raw video and spending a couple days squishing it to 1/10th the sizes but preserving the quality/flexibility very very well is a value proposition that I dont think is clearly attainable, even though it seems technically perhaps within reach.

Right now, I think the general feeling is, raw is raw & everything else bakes in a vast amount of assumptions & constrictions. Some advocacy that compressed video can be as flexible, as dynamic, as capable need to be more present, elaborated, & proven before anyone's going to be comfortable throwing away the bits. These are people's life's works & a couple hundred or thousand dollars a year more in storage isnt a real factor for such integral, near work.

>I hate to refer you to a search engine, look for any major issue where the population differs in opinion to the donor class.

That's not what I asked. I asked for an issue supported by voters, not population. A lot of people have opinions, but not many people vote, which skews actual legislation. There's also a conservative tilt because rural voters have disproportionate power.

The populist "it's the elite and their money controlling legislation" sentiment doesn't seem to correlate with reality from what I've read.

On healthcare, the support of socialization is complicated. Voters are iffy depending on how questions are phrased, so it's not totally clear on exactly what they want. It seems something like the ACA was pretty close, but even that was very controversial.

For example, I know you can get very high approval for M4A, but if you phrase questions in a more partisan manner, approval tanks. Something along the lines of "Would you support government provided healthcare that would ban private insurance?" would poll terribly, even though they're both referring to the same policy.
What everyone else said: if this is true, that would mean that every developer involved was willing to take the secret to their grave. It would mean they preferred to take the massive PR hit of issuing public statements saying "why can't you idiots just accept our superior aesthetic sensibilities" than to blame their incredibly unpopular choices on threats from Microsoft.

In other words, there's just no way this is true.
