You mean -- where to find experts that can tolerate newbie asking off-base questions and showing off their bottle half full? If you just find people with "a deep love of learning", you guys end up just bouncing shallow questions and answers off each other, right? I am not saying that is not fun, but I am not sure that is really "a deep love of learning".

From an expert point of view, where is motivation of tolerating adult "curiosities"? I can easily tolerate a 5-year old who genuinely curious and assumes no base of understanding, which I can enjoy building my explanations from ground up. You get the satisfaction of filling an empty cup and and occasionally, the naive 5-year-old may seriously challenge your fundamental understanding and you yourself learn something. Not all 5-year-olds are like that, and extremely rare to find such adults.

I think the people you are looking for, with "a deep love of learning", is every where. For example, who love reading popular books on subjects that they are not familiar. That is why there are so many popular non-fiction books. But, are you sure that you are actually seeking each other out?

IMO, if you are truly with "a deep love of learning", study text books and take MIT open courses, and then read scientific papers. Then you will find those experts -- they are always listed in the references with contact associations.
Not exactly true.

You will need good examples.

Python from the start is a “higher performance” hack of a language (wrap everything you do on a try block because the language is so finicky and inconsistent failure is the most reliable way to know something is false.)

Find a good example and follow it while writing more code.
The 50th anniversary of Altamont came and went without much notice.
Israel stopped stamping passports years ago, as I understand it. They give you a separate piece of paper/plastic instead.

There may well be other combinations of countries that justify a person having multiple passports.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Someone's got to write a paper to get it in, hopefully based on some sort of existing practice.
It's mostly my kitchen/dining room/"mudroom" area that can use regular quick vacs between full housecleanings. But looking right now I have some shoes and other things scattered around and it's literally about 3 minutes to do a touchup with my Dyson stick vac which has been great.
I don't think this has to do with the issue I mentioned. Google has gives a date for these articles when you do a regular search. As I mentioned, these are mostly around 2011. Again, these dates are coming from Google, not the site. If I do a time range that includes 2011 in it, even a time range that includes the entire existence of the internet (1900 to 2022), all of the sites except one disappear. It's not a matter of Google getting a date wrong, it's a matter of Google not displaying hits that it should be displaying per the data in its own system.
Ditto English!
It's that of course. But also: when there is not an outage, when your situation has a well known good solution, and so on.
Interesting, seeing as at least on Trolls they were using AWS for some of their compute for rendering. Some Dreamworks employees on the tech side left for AWS as well.
ok but---it's literally set to merge in like a month. It did get delayed for quite a while yes, but it's happening now for realsies
I was trying to destroy my own innocence around then, but sadly I was less successful than I would have hoped.

I did think about going to Woodstock to get it destroyed, but thought it might be too corporate for said innocence destruction.

Turned out, I was wrong.
I get where the author is coming from, but that's not why shops can't hire. Embedded pays poorly.

The work is challenging and rewarding, but also grueling and frustrating like little else. Embedded wages are miserable. Almost any Yocto developer could immediately improve their quality of life by picking up a Ruby on Rails book and then nearly doubling their salary in a month or two.

That's essentially what I did and I've never looked back.

As long as that holds true, hiring good folks will be challenging.
Officially, Taiwan agree to the “One China” stance. They even agree in the 1992 consensus that RoC and PRC does not agree who is the legitimate government of both mainland China and Taiwan islands, but the One China stance itself is not something in dispute.

The constitution of Taiwan claims sovereignty over mainland China, although they added an amendment to differentiate “free area” citizens (Taiwanese) and citizens under control of the “rebellions” (I don’t know if they removed the specific wording yet).

You could argue that Taiwan have to agree to One China by force, as the PRC has made it very clear that the PLA (People’s liberation Army) is invading if Taiwan abandon the stance.

With that in mind, Taiwan and China situation is really similar to a civil war, Taiwan is just a secessionist. And until the situation is resolved, there is nothing wrong with label it “Taiwan, China”
It will be painful. It will cause huge economic disruption. There will be a fall in living standards and severe inflation.

But, it's time for US companies to pull out of China. The moral imperative to help China rise out of poverty through trade is done. They are no longer a poor country. Now we are compromising our values for something stupid ... for cheaper iPhones.

Long term our Grandchildren will all be under the boots of the CPC if we don't take the pain now.

I'm not suggesting we war with China. I'm suggesting we remove their leverage from our economies. As long as EU and America need Chinese goods to subsidize their massively irresponsible fiscal policies, Chinese dictators will have leverage over Western people.

You have to sacrifice material well-being for freedom at the right time, or you will have neither in a generation.

Untrue, as shown by numerous FOSS projects run by volunteers.
It’s one of those “chicken egg” issues, ultimately it’s not enforced until certain scales.

Microsoft does not like >200 machines being activated from 1 IP/Site for example.

But you’ll run into issues running the “pro” version of windows, and you’ll need the enterprise version pretty early.

Computers don’t ship with enterprise, if any do then it’s certainly not all of them.

So you have to license all machines on your network anyway, volume licensing gets cheaper when it’s properly managed.

It’s hard to say there’s a hard limit, because there isn’t really one, but it’s sort of expected.
Certainly, but all the technology with which we grew up is still out there. A kid who hasn't had an iPad is not automatically a kid who hasn't had any hands-on experience with technology, and, while I can imagine there's some debate here about whether or not it's feasible to raise a child in today's world without an iPad or equivalent device—I'm not a parent, and so wouldn't presume to participate—I can't imagine anyone here advancing the position that "I'll raise my kid without any kind of 'hacking' experience."
Whoof. A pretty damning overview of one of the few intriguing "Web3" use cases.

I've always thought blockchain subsidized mesh networks were a great idea - people provide access via a router, and are reimbursed based on how many other people access the network via their node. Seems ideal, and could quickly and easily scale across an urban area.

Is there some inherent limitation in the underlying technology that prevents this type of distributed system?
So... we're in agreement that over-reliance on China is a bad thing, then?
So… over-engineered and expensive to maintain?
Only when provoked by US.
Taiwan follows the "One China" policy. They view themselves as Chinese even more so than the PRC, not part of some sort of separate, "independent" culture/nation. So the "China" badge is quite justified on its own terms.
Agreed. For most early adopters of flakes, flake-utils-plus is the de facto standard solution.

It would be good to see something like it built into Nix or Nixpkgs and blessed in the official docs, as the flakes feature approaches completion.

Unity needs existing customers to continue their pro subscriptions; and game developers are notorious for throwing everything out and staying afresh on every project. The new features are as much for existing customers as they are for attracting new ones.

That said, Unity ads is where the real money is at.

Neutrality in politics doesn't refer to a Platonic ideal where the existence of a conflict doesn't affect you in any way. Neutrality is a pragmatic message: "I understand you two have a conflict, I'm not going to take it upon myself to solve it, but I'd like to operate here regardless".

One option is of course to say that nobody should be neutral in the conflict between China and Taiwan, but the obvious objection is that Taiwan does not want this. Taiwan's economic links with the mainland are enormous and it's absolutely routine for Taiwanese businesses to export to China or do business in China under Chinese regulations. (For example, you may be familiar with Foxconn, a Taiwanese company with over a million Chinese employees.)

That is a super fascinating story with a lot of insight into the internal operations of a well-funded VC startup.
I can’t remember the last time I allowed an unsigned app to run on Mac, I can’t even think of examples recently where I’ve gone “oh **, this thing is unsigned?!”. I’d love examples of high quality apps without a basic codesigned certificate, maybe we have a disagreement over the term “quality”.

“App Store apps are garbage” is also kinda rich, it’s not windows, the Mac App Store is the go-to source for distributing Mac apps at this point. There’s some examples of popular apps not on the MAS but they grow fewer by the year.
To me the only left long term solution is to move as much technology and specialized workforce out of China to rebuild chip farms in different countries. I understand it's a very long and costly process, but also the mere starting it could work as a leverage.
With the pressure coming from the inside of the star from burning fuel, I think this meat-star would implode since it is just meat. Unless of course sausages under pressure emit energy. How much sausage would it take to start a thermonuclear process?

Haha yea maybe my glasses are a little tinted, but I think you're conflating two different points. Apple has released flawed products in the past, but they rarely (never?) include emerging tech that isn't polished enough for mainstream consumption. I say this as a former Android user who loved touting that "Android had that feature first", but it's hard to deny that features like mobile payments have just been executed better by Apple.

Also, since when are foldable OLEDs hugely popular?
There is a large faction in the US that supports Taiwan independence.

This has nothing to do with your claims of colonialism. Some people just want Taiwan free from the CCP. Ask HK how great things are under unification.
So what if China knows what’s in your house? If American companies know what’s in your house the government can ask them for that info at any time and as Amazon has shown they’ll give it up without a warrant. The Chinese government isn’t coming to my house and I doubt Chinese companies are dealing with the us government like Amazon is.
Hydra is arguably one of the scariest parts of Nix: A giant, bespoke CI system written in C++.

Arguably it shouldn't exist. Nix can and should easily slot into any CI tool.
There are already some really simple solutions: for example https://keri.one specifies one of the most obvious solutions to the problem. Then proceeds to wrap it up in a lot of web3-inspired gobbledygook.

Have you ever used 2FA systems where you can create various printed "back-up keys". Take that idea then run with it a little and you have KERI.
Sounds like your problem is children. Children need to be schooled whether they live in a large house or are crammed into a tiny condo.

It's not the app's notifications, it's the notification from the system itself.
If you update / install apps with brew, you get the system ask you again each time after the update whether you want the notification or not; the software may be malware download from internet. It is just silly.
It feels kinda sad, like they all had these dreams of becoming artists, musicians, dancers, and instead made click bait. Obviously it was very lucrative, but there was a tone of melancholy in most of the actors.
Why Google became popular is way to complex a topic for a thread like this, but no, average user at this point does not with any meaningful cadence look for other search engines to use and likely started using Google not because they compared it to others, but because someone told them to use it. If you’re doing more than five searches a day, you’re not average.
Late last year going into early this year I had to deal with ASUS RMA with my ROG Flow X13 and the dock. The dock started failing. They wanted both the laptop and the dock sent in, so I sent both in. It took a while, but they got it taken care of.

The only problem I ran into is apparently FedEx treated the return as a soccer ball. The sturdy packaging was very damaged, and I'm surprised the damage to the laptop and dock weren't worse than a cracked frame, bent hinge, and cracked dock frame.

ASUS handled redoing the RMA without charging me anything. My assumption is they used the FedEx insurance.

They always re-image the device. When I got it back the second time, they forgot to remove their repair image and I had to re-image it myself. No biggie, I'm fine with that.

Perhaps what helped me is I've worked with technology for a couple of decades, including doing technical support and front line support for several years at the start of my career. I used my troubleshooting skills before even contacting ASUS and gave them all of my findings. The person I was talking to didn't bother with trying any further troubleshooting and just requested the RMA.

So, while I get that talking to any system builder's tech support and RMA can be a pain, I had a positive experience with ASUS RMA.

I have a friend with a recent Alienware laptop that had issues on day 1. Dell technician did a house call, basically destroyed his laptop, and left. Another friend has sworn off Dell because after several RMAs of his laptop, the warranty eventually expired and it still failed again. I don't know many people who have had to go through RMAs of other companies. But I get the impression that, outside of business support, all of them are garbage. However, ASUS did me right.
A major part of their value proposition was that they couldn’t decline your ride because they didn’t feel like driving to your destination which is now gone.

However that has been a lie for years now, and the updated version might actually be an improvement. Trying to go to Oakland from SF frequently led to drivers showing up and having to argue with them.

“I’m not going to Oakland, cancel the ride”
“no you cancel the ride”

Or more aggravating, they figured out they could stop nearby the pickup point but out of sight to see the destination then claim that you didn’t show. This meant arguing with Uber support to get the cancellation fee dropped.
> People thinking pen and paper is simple have intentionally made it simple.

> Taking the same approach to pen and paper, digital interface is extremely simple, a keyboard and a display. Your system: text files. It's liberating. You open your note.txt, <ed session snipped> And that's it.

Surely that's also intentionally making a digital interface simple? I mean, both kinds—all kinds—of interfaces can be made simpler or made more complex depending on the user's tastes. That fact itself doesn't, I think, speak to any virtue or lack thereof on the part of any interface paradigm.
I understand your point perfectly fine. What you’re doing is cherry picking examples to suit a personal bias and ignoring the fact that some of your examples of “unready technology” not only sell well but are hugely loved by those who own it.

Take the Samsung phone you’re citing. One of my non-technical friends has one and absolutely loves it.

Plenty of companies have successful products with hardware that you consider beneath you. And Apple have released plenty of hardware that has absolutely been unfit for mass market. The destination you’re making here is purely your own bias.
IMO the issue is not that Godot uses C++, it's that they refuse to use a standard more recent than C++03.

Being able to use `auto` would make the code already a lot less verbose IMO.
Any favorite pens with LEDs attached so you can write in poor lighting conditions?
Never heard of it. Took a quick look and I assume it's arm based? What OS would you run? I'm partial to PFSense for this use-case, but I don't believe they have an arm build available for anything except their own Netgate gear. I'd like a small x86 based machine for the purpose, and it looks like people are now using old thin clients with PCI slots which are also a nice option.
i've been to ACL ( Austin City Limits ) probably a dozen times by now. I would say it's pretty well run or at last as well run as a huge festival can be. There's always going to be people smoking weed or passed out in the bushes at large music festivals. I think the difference in a well run festival is well run utilities ( bathrooms and trash management ) and relief from bad weather like cooling tents, water bottle refill stations and things like that.

on the other hand, sometimes things just get out of control. A decade or two ago I was at lollapoloza (not very big) in Dallas at a large amphitheater and for some reason everyone started lightning these huge bonfires all over the place and it just went downhill from there. It just got totally out of control.
This does not work on bitcoin. Bitcoin’s difficulty targeting algorithm only retargets every 2016 blocks. This attack is only possible for diff target algos that retarget within a single block slot.

Yes, we should just appease the people that will attempt to end the world if they don’t get their way.

Pittsburgh suburbs were just an example, there's plenty of nice walkable spots all over America, what I was talking about are car centric sprawls where you can't really go anywhere unless you get in a car. Having traveled most of North East, East Coast, Rust Belt and West Coast of the US, this is not a rare thing that's only seen in Pitt, even fairly dense parts of Long Island are just isolated homes and strip malls.

Ya, and if that happens, expect a draft. The US military is having difficulty finding volunteers. They'll need a whole lot of soldiers, sailors and marines if we went all out with China.

Pelosi was quite bold in her little stunt recently with Taiwan. She's willing to send our boys and girls to war for a political stunt is pretty disgusting. I'm done with all these war mongers.

I wonder what she was really trying to accomplish.

Also, seems some people stole $6B from Chinese banks. One of the accused was allowed to flee to the US.

The pandemic and remote liberality pushed many out of urban and into rural life.
> Well, an alternative interpretation would be that Apple (like much of the world) is in a no-win situation

It's a weak excuse for a company that builds its image in last 5 years as a morally superior one. Apple was very happy to heavily impact online advertising business (not saying it was a bad thing), because of those principles (and to give them huge edge to grow their business later in that area). But they are not willing to stand up for other causes, where it impacts their bottom line.
Marketing is a huge part of it as well. There are a lot of slick online and physical ads for these products. Heck, most of these devices were created by ad companies.
For some reason "throwing water bottles in the air" seemed to be the thing to do in concerts in the late 90's - 2000. I remember it happening in just about every venue I was at (wasn't at Woodstock '99). Maybe it was the nexus of bottled water being ubiquitous for the first time but before the backlash about waste and switching to reusable bottles.
