What is your point here? How does you great Linux experience help those it didn’t work for?
it depends on the capacity premium

for example bandwidth used to be 95th percentile priced, but Netflix quickly run into problems because its peers did not want to upgrade linecards, switches, etc. (and as some of those peers were also in the media disturbution business they explicitly wanted to keep those ports maxed out)

the point is that if the network provides a close to constant capacity, then of course it makes no sense to try to price on that.

but with more and more variable supply it seems prudent to prepare the demand side too.

in Norway currently electricity prices fluctuate like crazy, and the supplier sends an email each day about the prices for the next day (though I'm not sure how guaranteed those are, of course the current price is also online)

and it varies regionally too
Well, the reality is that Linux consists of less than 5% of the market (desktops and laptops), where Windows OSes make up around 75% and macOS around 15%. So, that is going to dictate the priorities of companies supplying drivers.

I am pretty disappointed with System76. On my Galago with PopOS suspend doesn’t work properly , the fan sometimes goes into super speed mode overnight, the screen flickers when it wakes up from sleep so I have to reboot. It’s definitely not a smooth experience. Support couldn’t help either.

I didn't say that buying votes with legislation was good, I said it's the premise of democracy. Whether democracy is good is an open question. For myself, I'm with Churchill:

> Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
The benefit is that the app ends up being simpler.

Not sure how this is relevant. Was the airline even involved here? Or should we consider all invasive searches and investigations ever conducted in hub airports as part of airline quality?
> could bargain for a living wage

That's called collective bargaining and the only way we'll end up there is strong unions. Otherwise, I promise you - most companies will not altruistically ensure their employees are taken care of; exceptions exist like Costco. Someone's going to need to bend their arm, be it a union or the government through regulation.

Also I'm not sure I understand your comment. The first sentence feels like you're devaluing the service employee that helps resolve your self-checkout issues? Then, the next paragraph you posit that we're in a transitionary period from a "legacy system" - this just isn't how I see it.

From convenience stores, to grocery, etc. there will always be the need for traditional cashiers, along side of self-checkout folks. And, personally - I believe they both deserve a dignified wage that covers their base needs (rent, car, medical, etc) without necessarily having to "bargain for a living wage."

IMO - even the most entry-level and lowly of jobs at 40hrs/week should be able to get someone by.
That excuse doesn't hold for the calculator example, where the 0 button takes up 2 spaces for no good reason, and they could easily added a backspace button instead.
The one that bugs me sometimes is shake to send feedback, because the feedback form isn’t useful whenever I trigger it by accident. The funniest implementation is Microsoft Teams, where if you shake it pops up a feedback form that then says you can’t send feedback because it can only be sent via Mail.app, not Outlook (you know, the Microsoft email client that your IT department makes you use instead of Mail.app?).
So many negative comments. Always preferred Linux whether it's Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch to any windows OS. All the laptops I had were: Thinkpad T450s, HP Spectre 15, Acer Nitro 5. All of them work flawlessly. Windows on the other hand...
Worse than undiscoverable features are landmine features where an accidental gesture triggers some huge mode change that can’t easily be reverted.
From the article:
"In traveling to America, Dvořák was on a mission to create an “American music,” to find and elevate the country’s folk tradition, even the sound of its daily life. What immediately captured his imagination was African American music, slave songs, and spirituals."

Perhaps they should mention Gottschalk simply to explain that no-one was actually confused about how to elevate the folk tradition in America...
On old niche laptops from Thinkpad, Dell, maybe, probably. Good luck with the other brands and fairly new laptops.

Also, I didn't really answer your question directly before, but SpaceX-style iteration in this arena is unlikely. Unlike launch, which has high margins, commercial supersonics would be competing by trying to "build a better mousetrap" where "better" means "faster, but more expensive to develop, operate, and has a smaller addressable market". Iteration could build design team competence, but iterating the design itself would be extremely expensive and wouldn't have enough potential payoff to merit the necessary $Billions of pre-production investment.
You don’t have to use Share for Find on Page. Just type in the address bar, then “On this Page” will be the bottom option. Obviously, that doesn’t seem to be sufficiently discoverable as well.
Another difference is that those shows would get the participants' consent after the prank or blur their faces.

You know, this isn't the first time I've thought as much about Acko's writing :\ Often there isn't a coherent thesis, but a bunch of interesting related thoughts that don't add up to anything specific.
Disk-based and in-memory algorithms and data structures need similar techniques these days. The numbers are just different.

RAM latency is something like 100 ns, or maybe a bit less. Sequential read speed ranges from tens to hundreds of gigabytes per second. However, if you divide cache line size by latency, you are still orders of magnitude below that. If an algorithm accesses the memory randomly and waits for the results before continuing, it's often much slower than an algorithm that reads sequentially, even when the structs are conveniently the size of a cache line.

SSD read latency is around 100 µs, or three orders of magnitude higher. Sequential read speed is gigabytes per second, or 1-2 orders of magnitude lower. Again, if you divide page size by latency, you are nowhere near the peak throughput. Reading sequentially can be much faster, because the OS and the controller can guess your intent and read ahead.
Is there a guide / (giant) cheatsheet of all these hidden features, collected somewhere? It would be a great ressource.
Considering that Google's ad providers, analytics, and general services are so easily blockable in the new API, that reasoning doesn't hold water.

> embedded code that's inherently unsafe

I'm not really an expert in embedded systems, so take this with a grain of salt, but that doesn't track with my experience or with my theoretical understanding of embedded systems. First off, embedded systems are just regular systems with tighter constraints and less high-level constructs. With that understanding, if embedded code is unsafe... so is any code on any system.

Second, embedded systems have peripherals that are accessed via direct memory reads and writes. Which is only unsafe if access to those peripherals is shared in an unsafe way. Sure, the rust code that reads and writes to memory addresses will use `unsafe`, but everything above that can be written without using unsafe. Which I guess makes your statement technically correct, but imo not practically correct
Less than the brand, I think it is the line and components manufacturers that counts more.

Like pro lines are what most linux devs receive from their employer and better supported than familial and gaming lines. Also intel integrated everywhere is better supported than a mix'n'match of chipset foo, network bar, gfx baz.
I am fairly certain the seed oils talking bit can be traced back to a quack doc interviewed on Rogan’s podcast, which people then ran with.

TBH, for all these posts saying that US airline employees are rude and provide poor service, I wonder if the issue isn't on the other side of the conversation.

I've certainly experienced what I'd perhaps call "curt" service, but even then it's usually the case that the employee just has a ton of shit to do and is trying to move along the line quickly. The vast, vast majority of service I've received has been kind and courteous. To be clear, I've certainly had horrible airline experiences (e.g. getting stuck on a tarmac for hours), but rarely if ever is that the fault of an individual front-line employee.

What I've seen far more often, especially since the pandemic, is travelers acting like they were born in a barn, sometimes to the point of outright abuse towards employees. I can certainly commiserate with travel frustration, but so often I see people that take it out, rudely and unfairly, on employees who aren't empowered to do anything about it.
No. That rules means you are definitely on the right track.

Think of it like having to search for someone in a forest with only enough time to search half the forest.

Would you want to search random spots or be dropped randomly into the trail to the person?

You might yet run out of time, but on average it'll be much more efficient. Surprisingly so in the 100 boxes context.

Veritasium has an excellent video on it but I'm on mobile and can't dig out a link. I'd recommend it though.
Thanks! It runs NetBSD 9 and is being used to test a number of toolchain patches, and soon it'll be used to test NetBSD 10. The web server is NetBSD's bozohttpd.
I never said I had a solution, but clearly the direction we're going in is just dragging every city in California down. Before Prop 46 and 47, you didn't see rampant drug use all over the Central Valley in public spaces and parks. You didn't see theft rings running through big box stores and filling duffel bags with basic goods and then reselling it on Amazon. Yes, there were still drug users and thieves, but Prop 46 and Prop 47 opened the flood gates. These laws disproportionately affect people in lower income communities. If you live in Palo Alto, you're just virtue signaling by voting for Prop 46/47 as it won't impact you and the brunt of the burden will be on the working class who rich folks don't associate with or really care about. It's all ideological--but in an insanely narrow minded way. It's the result of democrats moving further and further away from the New Deal and labor unions and being captured by neoliberal PMC types and elitists. They'd rather pass laws about transgender rights or some niche cause than raise wages or pass universal healthcare to lift the working class up.

Combine all that with no-cash bail reform and Martin vs Boise, and now you're basically legalized crime and criminals can just loiter and sleep where ever they want and even when they are arrested, they're released almost immediately and back on the street with zero consequences. Schools now have homeless camps within shouting distance where kids can see people using meth, prostitutes, mentally ill people exposing themselves to children.

None of this was a problem before these laws were passed. Sure, Fresno was never a "rich" town, but the level of wanton destruction that's been heaped on it and the rest of the Central Valley because of ridiculous and frankly ignorant laws like Prop 46/47 and court precedents like Martin vs Boise, are not helping the average person's quality of life. This is why the democrats continue to lose voters--even non-white voters are leaving the party. Look at how democrat mayors allow Asians to be targeted over and over and over again by thieves (just google Little Saigon in Oakland). Where does this all end?

>than a correlation of drought and recessions impacting the agriculture industry

No offense, but this is just a stupid question. None of the drug users and mentally ill people you see smoking meth or shooting fentanyl were working in agriculture. Do you actually think that or what this just a rhetorical question? It's actually pretty offensive if you think ag workers are equated with homeless drug users. It's very obviously a drug and mental illness problem--not an economic one.
I've had linux on the desktop as my daily driver for 12 of the past 14 years.

Yes it takes a little bit longer to setup. But once I do it it's just so much more comfortable for me than Windows. Faster, easier to maintain, insanely better UI all configured in my dot files.

So yeah, there's a ramp up, and you need to be a bit resourceful. And it's probably not a great strategy to just choose any old laptop.

But I still love it. 2022 is yet another happy year of the Linux Desktop for me.
Windows chose to act behind users with it's OBSCENE update system because Windows designer consider users dumb and that instead of try educating them they need to act replacing people.

This is a business move because you can munge more money from dumb than from smart people but is definitively a bad choice for the society in general and for business in long terms.

Since first Xerox desktop concept implementation (desktop model of computing if far older) ALL major players try to cut out users control, initially IBM then Microsoft then the GAFAM, all try to sell locked-in tools able to do only few things in few way to sell more and the result is an explosion of crap to the point that modern systems fall on their own weight. And beware, a desktop these days it's just an endpoint or to use an old term a dumb terminal of remote services, typically on some giant's cloud. Your car crushing while driving at high speed will be a bit more lethal, and that's already happen with current "drive aids" like "speed limiter" who read road sign confusing for instance exit roads (sorry I do not the correct name in English, the small roads you take to going out of a highway and so on) signs to main roads one auto-breaking strongly and suddenly the vehicle or anti-collision systems who use a simple stereocam behind the internal mirror and see a flying leaf for a wall, just to cite something I've experienced personally.

Remember a thing: humans MUST ALWAYS have the last word on anything. Any tool must be in TOTAL control of the human it serve. Sometimes such total control will makes disasters that's for sure, BUT many other times avoid even bigger ones.

Actually, I'm starting to think: How useful can Github Copilot be to solve leetcode challenges? If you give it a comment like this:

// find the indexes of two elements of an array that sum to X

and a function header that was prompted to you by your leetcode engine, will it be able to fill it with correct code?

I mean: many people do Leetcode challenges for fun (or profit) and then publish their solutions on Github, so they were definitely part of Copilot training set.
I wouldn't say the dev experience on Windows is "unpolished", but I agree it's better if you have access to linux-style command line tools (whether via WSL or even just git-bash). In principle PowerShell should be just as powerful but I don't know many devs who can throw together PS scripts the way most of us seem fine with bash etc.

It is the simple truth. Thinkpads are usually very good and work out of the box, but a lot of other brands just don't. It isn't about hate or being negative, it's seeing a very biased affirmation generalizing a positive one time occurrence and painting it as the actual general fact.
The certification exists, at least in Canada. You can be a software PE. It's [snip] generally not required for anything. The other side of it is that some safety critical work does require a PE to sign off on it, and that work may include software, and that PE is going to be held responsible. He may be a EE in his training but he'd be responsible for the software engineers/developers doing the work properly.
The worst thing about broken touchpads is that they're impossible to turn off in Ubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1408042/touchpad-cant-be-dis...

There's a button to do so, but it's just been broken for months with no fix other than uninstalling part of the last update. Given that Linux typically has no palm detection, it's really a frustrating experience to use on a laptop.
Dr Paul Mason on "Saturated Fat is not Dangerous"[1] talks about the introduction of the "lower saturated fat" guidelines in Australia and how it was not based on any evidence or medical literature review. He mentions three meta-analyses on saturated fats:

"Insufficient evidence of association is present for intake of ... saturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids; total fat ... meat, eggs and milk" - Mente A, et al. A systematic review of the evidence supporting a causal link between dietary factors and coronary heart disease. Arch Intern Med. 2009 April 13.

"... no significant evidence for conclusing that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD" - Siri-Tarino PW, et al. Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease. Am J Clin Nutr. 2010 Mar.

"There were no clear effects of dietary fat changes on total mortality or cardiovascular mortality..." - Hooper L, et al. Reduced or modified dietary fat for preventing cardiovascular disease. Cochrane Database Syst. Rev. 2011 Jul 6.

And he says "the balance of evidence available at the time of developing our nutritional guidelines says that saturated fat in the diet is not associated with any deleterious health outcomes, that is, it's safe".

Newer research published after 2013, same results, he cites three more reviews and meta-analyses, two from the British Medical Journal.

Then he mentions the biggest most expensive study done on reducing dietary fat, $700,000,000 dollars, 50,000 people, 8 years, and the only statistically significant result from the study was that women with a history of heart disease who were randomly selected into the lower fat group, increased their risk of problems such as heart attacks was increased by 26%.

That is, saturated fat (animal fat tends to be) hasn't been proven to do anything bad, and reduced fat (vegetarianism tends to be , but not necessarily) hasn't been proven to do anything beneficial.

If you randomize a list of numbers there will always be cycles like described (similar to how there will always be cycles if you would draw lots for Secret Santa and then reveal who drew who), and these cycles have a certain length. It might be one cycle of length 100, but more commonly there will be lots of shorter cycles. If you start with your own number, you are guaranteed to be in a cycle that will return back to you, you just don't know how long that cycle will be (could be 1, could be 100, more likely something between). And apparently you can calculate that in ~31% of cases all cycles will have a length of 50 or less. This is just a neat way to exploit a kind of structure that there always will be within the randomness.

The good news: the basic skills needed to make a living as a programmer have barely changed since the 1970s. The landscape of languages, tools, frameworks, etc. changes frequently but a professional programmer can adapt easily enough.

The bad news: Employers don’t face a shortage of entry-level or junior people. Employers don’t have to invest in extensive training, onboarding, mentoring because they have plenty of people trying to get jobs. The so-called skills shortage almost exclusively refers to experienced senior people, which remain in short supply (and always will —- that’s the nature of experience and advanced skills).

Rather than focus on “rehab” or keeping up with fads or optimizing for tech interviews, I suggest concentrating on getting a job in software development. You’ll find smaller and less sexy employers — those dependent on software/tech but not focused on tech — don’t have such grueling interviews and don’t hold out for the top 1% of developers. That way you have some exposure to software development, gain experience and domain expertise, work with other people who may help you land jobs in the future, and get paid for your work. Look beyond the FAANG companies and startups.
