I think the problem is that there isn't really a thing like "Linux the OS"; there's Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Red Hat, and more than I can remember, and they all do things different: sometimes subtly so, sometimes not so subtly. This is quite different from the Windows position where you have one Windows (multiple editions, but still one Windows) and that's it.

This is why a lot of games now just say "tested on Ubuntu XX LTS" and call it a day. I believe Steam just ships with half an Ubuntu system for their Linux games and uses that, even if you're running on Arch Linux or whatnot.

This has long been both a strong and weak point of the Linux ecosystem. On one hand, you can say "I don't want no stinkin' systemd, GNU libc, and Xorg!" and go with runit, musl, and Wayland if you want and most things still work (well, mostly anyway), but on the other hand you run in to all sort of cases where it works and then doesn't, or works on one Linux distro and not the other, etc.

I don't think there's clean solution to any of these issues. Compatibility is the one of the hard problems in computers because there is no solution that will satisfy everyone and there are multiple reasonable positions, all with their own trade-offs.
Obviously, they're Google, but does it strike anyone else as odd that the `.google` tld exists? Why not `.amazon`, `.toyota`, etc
For the cost of sending and sustaining people there, probes could do overwhelmingly more than they have done.

But there is little science of value left to do on Mars. They could have sent a microscope on any of the probes lofted, but chose against it.
>"if you 'pass' as one them.."

From my point of view you just described the left.

Dressing in a suit and tie is not a rarity in the south or rural areas. Being gay isn't some attribute that qualifies for special treatment just because of your sexual preference. Politics also isn't some defining feature, and is WAY too publicized in today's culture. Why does it matter what someone's political view points are? Does that make them less than you, and are they really racist or is it because you don't agree? Because conservatives think democrats are racist for implying POCs aren't capable of doing things themselves. Maybe southern hospitality is superficial in some southerners but at least its some kind of hospitality, have you been to any major city? They'll let you bleed out before calling for help.
It's the easiest anti-spam measure, because it makes it expensive enough that spammers won't have a million accounts. Fake account detection is effectively put on the back of mobile carriers
The search queries and the results are encrypted and the query is not visible in the address bar.
Less spam. A phone number is a much better deterrent against opening a hundred accounts than let’s say an email address.
Wait. Google Earth has always been available for Linux?

Feel free to insert your word choice of "smartphone-flipping demographic" instead. The point is that if you argue based on "the crowd that goes for signal", that crowd being everyone is the clear aim of Signal, and thus they design around that goal.
Ethanol is probably the best option we have for anti-knock, but corn-based ethanol is worse in pretty much every way compared to other sources of ethanol like switchgrass. So while ethanol itself has a use, corn-based ethanol is pretty much just a farm subsidy at the cost of the environment.
You're right, I should have written "integration tests".
If nothing else, this interview shows that massive venture funding and hiring bonanzas are not the only way to build a successful company. I feel like that message gets lost too often in the startup sphere.
No one pays $300/hr for dev work unless they’re idiots.
Agreed - the papers it references contradict the article. For example the paper concludes that loneliness is experienced nearly equally across all demographics.
During my research,

- Recommended from solar forums: https://jaysenergy.wixsite.com/jaysenergy. I haven't bought anything but have communicated with them and gotten a few quotes.

- Santan solar (is where i bought mine from) via ebay (prices were cheaper than their website).

- Craigslist. Occasionally I see posts for people "parting" out used solar panels in bulk.

One sure way to start getting spam with ANY email, is to publish an application on Google Play Store. You'll start getting emails not only from advertising offers, shady SDKs, or Android development, but event for unrelated products from China.
This seems solvable. They talk about that here:
https://tailscale.com/kb/1099/device-authorization/

But it still seems like they could flip that feature off if they got compromised. To remedy that, feels like they could support a preshared secret that they don't control / see being shared as a first step:

Ken Shoemake also has an article in Graphics Gems IV. Section III.1 page 175. Theory and Sample program included. This is the only thing I needed to read to understand quaternions.
We moved from DC to Camp Hill, PA for similar reasons. Camp Hill has a decent walkable/bikable community (stores, schools, etc.) Harrisburg is the capital so it has just enough going on. I miss DC for sure, but it is nice to have an affordable house and a less complex lifestyle.
Part time work isn't very practical for most professional / technical / managerial positions. The problem is that there's a certain fixed overhead for training, team meetings, and administration which doesn't depend on hours worked. If you spend 5 hours per week on that stuff then it's only ⅛ of a 40-hour work week but rises to ¼ of a 20-hour work week, leaving only 15 hours of productive time.

Plus there's also fixed corporate charge back expenses which are the same per month regardless of hours worked. Everyone needs a computer, email, phone, software licenses, HR support, etc.
> Another factor for me is how much damage is it going to do to my body.

That's a very good point. Some trades tend to be riskier than others but they all induce wear and tear on the body over time.
I have not used Librem, but I own a Pinephone. Anecdotally, while the initial impression of community edition was not great ( I personally blame ubuntu as default OS ), I eventually tried PostmarketOS ( on HN recommendation actually ) and I am now going through side by side testing with my work phone as a backup.

For basic stuff ( phone, text, light net use ) it works. It is not polished. It is very much underpowered.. but there is something to be said for having that level of control over a machine. I think I agree with you; it will take take time the same way it did with desktop linux. Still, I am more optimistic now.. we are starting to have real options outside of the duopoly forced down humanity's throats.

And.. even if you are not ready to jump onto new hardware, you can install Kali linux in Android now[1].

In the 70s I read it cover to cover, but after Reagan took office they started going deep into the ideological crazy. Haven't hardly looked at it since.
Human-Size Life
2022, the top innovation in smartphone space is to have color themes for applications...
I did a show HN about this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31900095 a month ago, to experiment with the technology.
The training was done in a week-end only, with 2 old gpus (1080ti).

Currently waiting to scale-up for improve quality mainly for economic reasons, not quite sure I could recoup the training costs yet. Even more so if I go with cloud training.

NVidia will release the 4090 in september, and ethereum may do "the merge" that will make GPU useless for mining so GPU price could be affordable so I can update my home cluster with affordable 3090s. (But electricity prices are also up).

Also there are new algorithms every month like the stable diffusion, that would obsolete your previous training.

The video generation cost is probably still too expensive compared to just paying a cam girl in a low wage country. But it will probably go down soon.

This is also some sensitive data, as plagued with copyright issues, so it's quite troublesome to legally share training datasets to share costs.

It also has its own challenges with respect to custom dataset creation with text description, so it's probably a better idea to adapt the algorithm to the currently available data to keep the costs low.

Finally once someone releases a model, in the next month there will be at least 3 clones.

There is also the problem to find an adult friendly payment processor.

And the multitude of potential legal issues.

But it's probably inevitable.
For those unaware this is a catchphrase of Dr. Karoly Feher from the absolutely wonderful YouTube channel "Two Minute Papers" which focuses on advances in computer graphics and AI.
Whenever quaternions come up, I always recommend https://acko.net/blog/how-to-fold-a-julia-fractal/ and https://acko.net/tag/quaternions/

I've never heard of YogaDNS before. Looks interesting.
They trade your privacy for not having to figure out some technical issues.

Also, when they rolled out their cryptocurrency payment system (after keeping the server-side source code secret for more than a year, during which Moxie, who is a paid advisor to that same cryptocurrency, denied they were working on a payment system), they got KYC for free.
I wonder if it would be a possibility to relay electricity across the US with large battery stations from big solar farms, or if the loss in transit + the expense of the batteries would make something like that intractable.
Exactly my experience. The leaked emails are pretty much always related to hacks/leaks of said companies.

I have a couple of addresses that look to have been sold (e.g. addresses used in cheap kickstarter campaigns), but that is more rare.
Both exist.
They do exist![0][1]

Quite.

DRY is a good guideline but a rubbish rule.
Absolute opposite experience for me. The native versions of Half-Life, Cities: Skylines and a bunch of other games refuse to start up at all for me for a few years now. Meanwhile I've been on the bleeding edge of Proton and I can count the number of breakages with my sizeable collection of working Windows games within the last couple of years on one hand. It's been a fantastic experience for me with Proton.
We've been running 4x UAP AC Lites unattended with no controller via Ubiquiti Toughswitch for 5 years and have had zero issues.
So, it's basically a false claim. No reasonable person would equate the two. Insane.
https://icannwiki.org/.amazon
https://icannwiki.org/.toyota

They both exist.
I believe they have covered this question many times before, but I don’t see an answer on signal’s website. From memory, it had to do with not wanting to own the user’s contact list. Using a phone number allowed them to rely on a contact list on the users phone, which is not tied to the signal account. There was more nuance than that though.
Unsubscribe also frequently doesn't carry over when a company is sold to another, who then harvests every email ever mentioned anywhere to send new spam to.
How did you manage the transition?
I have tried unsuccessfully to migrate to Kindle a couple of times. Failed both times because I just love the feeling of a book in my hand so much. I'm assuming you had a similar attachment too, but you were able to overcome it?
I used this to determine that Xfinity was compromise, yet still no acknowledgement despite reporting the issue to them and they went through some spiel about how I received the email by mistake and continue to receive emails by mistake at <randomword>_<randomword>@<customdomain>. The only person I shared that email with was them, and never had the issue with another provider.
It doesn't differ at all. Different employers just use different terms for the same thing.
Yeah, they control this setting so they can just disable it, or override it.

Since Headscale exists, though, this problem is solved quite neatly.
If THAT is your idea of security, i hope you do not work on any hardware whose security matters. First thing anyone would do is find the pins and connect to them. It buys you nothing, and if anything tells me that i should go look for them.

Visible and labeled UART pins tell me that you've (hopefully) thought through the consequences of me having access to them. Hidden UART tells me that most likely nobody ever gave that half a thought.
Both `.amazon` and `.toyota` both exist and are owned by the respective companies.

74% of the respondents to the latest Stack Overflow survey, you mean.
Making it more expensive to create spam accounts, I'd guess.
Damned if I do, damned if I don't. If I have crypto, I'm a "scammer" trying to fuck people over by encouraging them to diversify. If I don't, it means I don't hold "investments" and am not worthy of recommending that people diversify their holdings. If I lived in Lebanon I would absolutely own some crypto, it's almost as if people adjust their holdings based on the environment in which they live.

If you think holding a single crypto is more diverse than holding multiple, have at it bro.
I see this a lot in The Netherlands, quite a few of my old neighbors have around 8 panels on the roof. Cost is indeed around the order of €5k and consequently makes it very accessible. And the savings are usually a very large part of the electricity bill (heating is still mostly gas).
Besides fighting spam accounts, finding and connecting with others is easier. No more needing to ask somebody what their account name / friend code / ICQ number / whatever UID a system uses to add them to your contacts. It's not a good user experience to type in someone's sometimes insane username.

Meanwhile, someone in my contacts that installs Signal automatically sees my name pop up and can start chatting. Far easier, and helps drive adoption.
Owning your own TLD is pretty cost prohibitive. I take it that many companies simply don't have the technical skillset and have determined it isn't worth the costs.
> Intel tried launching a non-compatible CPU once, it was Itanium, it didn't go so well for them.

That may be only secondary, though. Itanium simply failed to deliver performance promises and be competitive. The compiler was supposed to effectively perform instruction scheduling itself, and writing such a compiler turned out more difficult than anticipated.
> You can trivially create as many emails as you want, anonymously and for free.

Where? Gmail and hotmail both don't allow this.
Having kids close together is also a legitimate strategy for having closeness among siblings. Not a guarantee, but having them in a similar stage of development can help them play better together (older kids aren't always interesting in what younger kids are, also there are physical differences that can make sports no fun for older kids). There's a practical aspect here. Not for everyone and it also varies a lot based on the temperament of the children.
The strong outside influence on my family to half multiple was that we were able to see a good number of examples of large (>=4 kids) families that were an example of what we wanted too.
Windows installs those MSVC runtimes via windows update for the last decade.

With Linux, ever revision of gcc has its own glibcxx, but distros don't keep those up to date. So that you'll find that code built with even an old compiler (like gcc10) isn't supported out of the box.
Maybe this is their long term plan for getting rid of the camera bump.
A problem is the media hyping things too much. If not for media hype, maybe this paradox would not be such a problem or prevalent. People's expectations are in part formed formed by the media.
Curious, what's the difference with this and `apt-get --fix-broken install`?
> Developers natively porting to linux seem to be wasting their time.

Initial port of Valve's source engine ran 20% faster without any special optimizations back in the day. So I don't see why the effort is wasted.
Either we equalise chaos or we reduce chaos, there exist no other options for entropy incarnate.

Skimming over the details, that seems like a bunch of bugs in the game code. I don't think dynamic linking would help there.
Funny, I'm on the opposite side of the furniture-buying spectrum. Enough quality to last a while, but cheap enough to be a spur-of-the-moment decision and to not regret its end of life.

Probably related to life phase: my parents picked very different furniture after kids moved out. Expensive with crap quality by design - eg. slanted legs under a chair while plenty in the family are on the heavy side.

A surprising and welcome move by the FTC. Wish they'd hold something like this for how telecoms are regulated.
Cool, I guess? I don't see anything actually useful.

Right now I'd like Google Translate/Assistant that would translate everything it hears and simply show the language next to the translation on screen.

Would make my talks with several coworkers so much easier.

There was a device that did exactly this, and it also seemed to do voice-to-voice pretty well but I can't remember the name.

I laugh every time Google's multibillion dollar AI shows me the same ads for already installed apps, still shows me ads for women's products (they 100% know I'm male) and can't understand I'm on an anime songs binge (or rock, or a certain band) this evening.

On that note, I can't update my OnePlus anymore. I know they stopped releasing updates, but I thought they'd keep the OTA update servers online. Guess AWS is too expensive.
For enterprises, they do offer self-hosted control servers, but for personal use, something like headscale will put you in more control: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28574477
That's what I was searching. Thanks. Bit pricey, but worth it
One option is to do type checking with tsc (or in your unit tests). And build into a single file with tsup.

Glibc is not Linux, and they have different backwards compatibility policies, but everyone should still read Linus Torvalds' classic 2012 email about ABI compability: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/75 Teaser: It begins with "Mauro, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
> Surely Microsoft has internal tools for Windows that do the same thing: run a battery of tests across popular apps and make sure changes in the OS don't break any user apps.

And hardware, they actually deploy to hardware they buy locally from retailers to verify things still work too last I checked. Because there is always that "one popular laptop" that has stupid quirks. I know they try to focus on a spectrum of commonly used models based on the telemetry too.

And crater costs a bunch, runs for a week, and it's not a guarantee things won't break. I'm not sure it runs every crate or just top 1 million. It used to, but I could see that changing, if

And in case of closed source software, that isn't publicly available, crates wouldn't work.
+1, I'd love to see your wife write up a similar post about how she feels about this exercise.
Why do we want contact? Leave these trees of life discrete. We deal with terrestrial invasive species enough ravaging our ecosystems. Imagine if we let loose some organism that is capable of outcompeting all other life on earth? It's happened before. The early history of life on earth is an assortment of dead ends out competed by the few who emerged from the primordial soup that beat the less fit forms for finite resources. We've lost a lot of variation along the way; we have regulatory processes that are conserved from humans to yeast because we all come from a common lineage. We are all a small part of the earth planetary meta organism. Introducing external life into that system may simply lead to quick extinction of that external life at the place its been introduced, but the worst possible case scenario is that life takes root, is more fit than existing forms, and displaces the planetary meta organism we currently are components of.
Heh, that was the same issue that made me give up on desktop Linux (though with the XM3) and go back to Windows/Mac... three years ago.

It's just never going to get priority because it doesn't have the marketshare. Sony doesn't care about Linux and Canonical doesn't care about Sony.

If I were you, I'd consider an external bluetooth adapter that supports A2DP and connects to the 3.5mm plug on your computer, like this one: https://aluratek.com/universal-bluetooth-optical-audio-recei...

The comment about “open air museum” really resonates. Increasing numbers of European cities with well preserved districts are so overrun and catered to tourists that any sense of a living city is gone
> What does it mean to castle with both rooks? Is that a typo for "either"?

The king moves two squares in both directions (you have two kings now) and the rooks move to the other sides of the kings, so you finally have KR_RK where you had __K__ before.

In the U.S., the National Electric Code requires UL-listed components. The inverters, the panels, wires, even the racking must be UL-listed and not simply "UL tested". The manufacturer has to pay UL a few million dollars to list their products on their database in order to pass inspection. An inverter that costs $500 on Amazon costs about $5000 and available only through certain distributors.

Australia has no such requirement, and so they can use the cheapest inverters from China/Amazon.
Serious diss of Peter Thiel, IMHO.

Quite a lot of modern Arm 64 bit processors have dropped 32 bit (ie. ARMv7) support. Be careful what you wish for though! It's still useful to be able to run 32 bit i386 code at a decent speed occasionally. Even on my Linux systems I still have hundreds of *.i686.rpms installed.
