PCs running either Windows 10 or Linux with appropriate quality software and hardware almost never crash now so wish virtually granted I guess.
> I often wonder whether the opportunity to stage your “life” in a beautiful place for social media is a part of why so many more people head into the woods

I think so. For me and my friends, we’re not “staging our life”, but a lot of times I’ll see someone post a photo of a trail on Instagram or Strava and I’ll comment asking where it is. We still went out 10 years ago. We still took photos 10 years ago. But now it’s SO much easier to share what the different trails look like and it’s possible to share the exact GPX tracks with each other.

It’s a wonderful time to be wandering around in the woods and if someone just got into the hobby yesterday and wants to post the beauty of their quarter mile “hike” more power to them.
It's very simple, the US did the most easing due to the "exorbitant privilege" and so has the strongest economy coming out of the pandemic and so it can afford to raise rates the most and so it exports its inflation to other countries via the FX market.
It becomes reified and it can enter the public consciousness tutti dissemination.

I can fantasise about an intergalactic space war, and I can even make a screen play and produce Star Wars. If i make the movie or not it's still fantasy, still something I just imagined. But making a representation of it and distributing it vastly alters the power it has to affect public consciousness.

Fantasy doesn't equate to harmlessness.
Well I mean if society collapses it won't be worth much, but as long as that doesn't happen making things "more efficient" is critical to supporting a planet with 8 billion people.
You are underestimating the ratio of the country's poor vs the number of people in technology. India has an insane amount of people who are way poorer than what we in the west would call poverty.
Recent Asus zenbooks seem to have a decent reputation.
of course not but that does require some type of image recognition which is a bit harder to automate (but they had GPS data in that case)
There are way too many people without personal computers in India.
I fly on US airlines all the time, and my worst airline customer service experience is easily Air France. This list is automatically suspect if they made the list. Everyone I know who flies them hates them.
Yes, I'm talking about infotainment software.

I don't think any car manufacturer combines the functionalities you mention in a single software system so it would be easy to separate them.
The iPhone got some undeserved credit for being intuitive just because it was so limited. It did not even have copy/paste. Even now, it is far from obvious how to use undo (tap with three fingers). It’s when there are many features that great UI/UX designers shine.
Not sure the Vietnamese customers would agree.

The fuck it does.

I have a lenovo t14 something or other. I have to fiddle with the bios to get suspend work. This means that the battery lasts about 4 days.

However whenever it resumes, the touchpad appears to only work at 5 frames per second.

Moreover, its impossible to hibernate with secure boot.
If Peter Zeihan is right, we're looking at 10%-15% inflation in the US for the next decade if we do things right... and forever if we don't.

Bonds have to increase their yields to match the increasing price of money as supply restriction driven inflation looms.
This pattern is quite global. Everything is "more available" now, real time streamed, there's no apparent need for apriori organization since we can correct on the fly. Or so it seems.

Games are patched live, browser in constant update etc etc
I do not think that is enough, and by the look of the body mass of most people I see, most don't get enough.
Ok, then how this "humanity" will block putin's regime to use nukes? "magic" or "super heroes"?

And now nukes don't guarantee victory? ...
Windows users don't have to reverse engineer anything before their hardware works.
its also a level of indirection... It's sad but functions often slow performance down. but this depends on the language.
The Back Tap feature is my favorite "hidden" action on the iPhone. You can double (or triple) tap the back of the phone to trigger whatever action you want. For example, toggle the flashlight or lock rotation. Show Spotlight or run a Shortcut.

Ah I forgot about pico! I used to have way to crash it every time, something to do with the word wrapping. But it stopped being developed so we switched to nano.
In the US I believe healthcare and education far outstrip housing as increasingly unaffordable costs.
Okay. Does this imply that I should see similar SSD read speeds when reading 10 blocks contiguously vs randomly?

If I can fit, say, 2k records into a single block, then I would expect reading the first 4k pieces of data to have similar SSD read performance compared to reading 2k from the first and 2k from the last? (Haven't coded the experiment yet, but that would be the prediction?)

And: to the point of using block size as a parameter, do you have suggestions on further reading for techniques people have used to incorporate that into the design of their structures? Or is it basically the same as efficient paging algorithms?
It's odd how you can hear two people make the same vague statement about Linux and OSes that aren't Linux, and the statement about Linux registers to you as insightful while the one about Windows/MacOS registers as "trivial nitpicking."
I second these!
Maybe it is just me, but I'm laying a beating on anyone who engaged in direct harassment like that. The potential civil and criminal penalties would be a price worth paying (especially here in New York where people are not arrested or jailed for assault).

2) the author once answered some questions I posted on Datafusion, so they're cool in my book

Here are my anecdotes.
One project you may be interested in is Black for python.

It's a code formatter that provides one style with very limited configuration. The idea being the rigidness removes bike shedding and forces consistency.

Of course you can use any code formatter and configure it to your liking, but there's something to be said about not giving the user levers to pull and argue about. Everyone just download Black, and you're good to go.

I don't get what commercialism changes about it.

If i make deepfake images of your wife being forced into sex, being beaten, crying and screaming, and then I distribute them online free of charge is that really harmless just because I don't profit from it?
What are these meat eaters consuming that’s giving them hundreds of grams of protein per day? A 14oz ribeye is only 98 grams of protein and I hardly think typical meat eaters are consuming those for every meal.
The estrogen concern with soy is fairly overblown and not really an issue.

Anyway, another one to look out for is Juicy Marbles. Cannot wait to see these things get wider distribution.
Linux worked out of the box (Ubuntu LTS or Lubuntu) with:

- Lenovo ThinkPad T41

- Lenovo ThinkPad X61s

- LenovWo ThinkPad X220

- Lenovo ThinkPad X230

- Lenovo ThinkPad X1

- DELL Latitude E7762

- DELL Latitude E7480

- Apple iMac 27"

Problems encountered:

- The touchpad on the Lenovo ThinkPad 240 mad random jumps, not sure if this is a Linux issue since I never tried Windows (I usually wipe it right after unpacking).

- Couldn't install any Linux flavour on the Microsoft Surface 3 laptop. It was painful to get rid of Windows and UEFI boot, and apparently a kernel patch is needed to go further (according to Microsoft support, who didn't provide said patch). Does anyone here have that patch BTW?

Generally speaking it is getting harder and harder to install Linux, due to Microsofts efforts to make PCs "more secure" (which - oops - prevents the installation of competitors' OSes, how convenient).
> I have a feeling that the overall reality is far more hit-or-miss than the author implies.

I really think that is the state of the matter.

Personally, I have been using Linux as main OS since 2000, so when I buy new hardware, I know it will be running Linux and I do my research on the hardware before buying anything. When you do that, chances are you'll end up with hardware that is supported and works well on Linux. The last 15 years I have been using high-end Dell Precision laptops through my employer and those run linux just fine; it's already been several years now that you can actually order them with Ubuntu.

Still, I've been on location where they used USB-C docks to access external screens and the network. The network was working fine out of the box, but for the screens I needed to install DisplayLink drivers, which was not a nice experience. It also did not work out of the box with xrandr. And then I got a linux kernel upgrade and it was no longer working. So, while the laptop itself is working just fine on linux, and is working out of the box with external screens connected through a cable (HDMI, DisplayPort), you still don't have good support for something like DisplayLink, which seems to be used more and more because it allows user to project wirelessly on a screen.

I try to avoid depending on closed source drivers in Linux. I did use Nvidia long time ago, but switched to AMD for that reason. In a way, it's nice that companies support Linux and that they are releasing closed source drivers. It is better than not having any driver at all. But depending on closed source drivers is misery sooner or later, so I avoid them.
In fairness this has been around since feature phones.
I actually cheated and used the built-in recorder with an external mouse (I somehow had a USB->Lightning adapter on hand). You can then, in the Accessibility settings, enable an always visible cursor under Pointer Control, though Pointer Control is only visible _after_ you have the mouse plugged in. Ironic to have such iOS struggles for a post about iOS struggles...
I hardly remember doing any kind of special fighting or annoying stuff. What's your pain points here?

Had some issues after Win10->Win11 beta Insider build updates, but that's other story.
Yes, but I'm not talking about those. I'm refuting the point that better access to computers in cheaper countries will put Western developers out of jobs by saying that those who already have computers still aren't taking our jobs (if anything, they create jobs as we then have to fix or rebuild the mess they created).
Longer term, the direction has to be that Fitbit goes away, and -at most- becomes an app that runs on the Google Watch.
The best part about the virgin vs chad meme is the evolution of the Nordic Aryan chad side profile image of it. A literal racist shitpost (against Mediterraneans) just casually makes its way into the mainstream without the vast majority of its users not realizing what it originated from.

Having been through it, it was as seamless as one can imagine. Remember that 99%+ of Mac users have no idea what this means from a technical POV, or understand the amount of magic that allows most Intel software to "just work" on Apple Silicon devices.
Exact doesn’t exist. What is meaningful is that twins raised far apart by random parents have striking similarities.

Googling “twins raised apart” provides a handful of stories.

One of the more interesting is the story of the Korean twins having a “huge IQ difference”, the lower experienced less stability in her upbringing. Otherwise their personalities were the same. This is interesting as twins raised together often have different personalities, probably drawn from their (possibly subconscious) intentions not to be too similar.
Doctors also say to not co-sleep, but that's the norm in Japan and they have a lower SIDS rate than the US.
No shit. The hardware vendors do all the work for them.
> Years of being in the mac ecosystem where you can just close the lid and it'll barely have lost battery over weeks of being idle spoiled me.

Funnily that's not at all my experience with an M1 MBP. It either sleeps when lid is closed even with an external screen, or never (even if i explicitly click on the sleep button). And even if I manage to get it to sleep, Bluetooth is always on and battery is at 0% after 2 days.
No need to scaremonger. People die already from malfunctioning fossil gas appliances but it’s only about 20 people a year. Less fossil gas appliances over time means less deaths caused over time.

Heat pumps and induction stoves don’t require enormous amounts of current, and there are subsidies available for the electrical upgrades necessary. There’s already a used market for these items, simply open Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace and search for gas furnace or gas stove.

Importantly, this sends market signals to deprecate new gas appliances for various reasons, just like a future new combustion vehicle sales ban. Also, the cost of electricity will be driven down in the future due to the cost decline curve of renewables and batteries. Go look at what the price of fossil gas looks like over the last 24 months at Henry Hub. This is about "being where the puck is going to be."

Edit: Admittedly, it sucks to be poor in America but subsidies are still available. I’m unsure how you craft policy for the undocumented in this case. They’ll continue to source low cost used appliances due to being in poverty perpetually. If they rent, it’s up to their landlord, who probably has the pockets to do this (with perhaps some policy arm turning). This won’t happen overnight; it’s to turn the supertanker that is energy policy over a decade or so away from fossil fuels.

Edit 2: A sales tax wouldn't work, too many wealthy people who would just say "Imma buy gas appliances IDGAF throws money". Gotta do an outright ban.

Everything may be. You're missing my point: if someone makes a claim, as you said, should provide "proof", I think in this context one study would suffice. Otherwise he should use different tones, like "maybe", "in my humble opinion", "I'd like to know if..." but I guess it wouldn't make lots of visits to his website. I just pointed out a possibility that invalidates his claims (if proved of course). This suffices to show that a study is needed, in either direction, to say something about the topic at hand. The fact remains: Java is out there and widely used. Let me remark I'm not saying it's necessarily a merit of the language per se
I have it for running scripts, not for use as a shell
Designing Data Intensive Applications is the book you want. The first section of the book covers data structures used to store data on disk in detail, specifically B-Trees, LSM Trees and how they’re used by various databases.

If you want to dive deeper on the subject of persistence, the book Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces has a section devoted to it.
I’ve found watching the WWDC keynotes where they announce a new version of iOS or MacOS a good way to learn many of the new gestures and features.

For your average user many of these features will remain hidden and I suspect that’s partially by design. They want such users to have a simple experience.
Probably in a death spiral after his stock grants are worth 1/10 as they were before.
that's because new hardware is made to work for windows. Few companies care about linux drivers

Yeah, even a broken clock is right twice a day. OP got lucky with some crusty laptop and drew a wildly expansive and inaccurate conclusion.

Maybe true for old machines, but definitely not true for newish models.

Not even for machines being sold with Linux preinstalled.

My Linux Dell XPS from ~5 years ago required me to buy and install a different radio because the Broadcom one didn't actually work with latest Ubuntu (at that time).

The next XPS I got mostly worked, but had lots of audio issues.

The Inspiron was horrible. Touchscreen fails, audio fails, radio fails, sleep fails.

My custom Ryzen 3900X workstation has ongoing issues with sound and sleep (yes, latest kernel, latest drivers, latest LTS OS).

My most recent laptop purchase from earlier this year either had no wifi in Ubuntu or no Bluetooth in Fedora. I was able to force Fedora to work after a week of messing with it. Still have intermittent sleep and audio issues.

FWIW, I've been running Linux in various roles since the late 90's, so not a noob and definitely not complaining.

It's free, it's open source, package management is awesome. The command line is irreplaceable.

I use Linux on the daily and deeply appreciate all the incredibly hard and thankless work that so many people put into it.

That said, Linux still does not have anything close to the level of polish that MacOS delivers and it definitely doesn't get out of the way to the extent that it can be called boring.

YMMV
yeah seconding the X1 thing. The battery life is a bit wanting but I have more issues on my desktop than on my laptop at this point
Huh, I’ve been using an iPhone since the very first one. This is the first time I’ve ever seen any of these actions. I had no idea.
I fail to see the flaw here. When catering to large groups of diverse people, I don’t expect homogenous use of a product. Everyone should be able to find their own high-value solutions within a product, according to their real needs.

We could call the presented paradigm needs-based discovery.

It inherently means that some people won’t be aware of solutions that benefit others – that is, until their need or exposure evolves. And that is okay. More than okay, it’s great. To return to the basics… people don’t like being inundated with features they don’t want and they do like discovering solutions to problems.

This is excellent design.

Could those features be better presented? Always.

The iPhone interface has an incredible array of constraints: it needs to serve literally every type of person on the planet. That’s beautiful. I have huge respect for designers capable of connecting with such diverse stakeholders. It is masterful design in the most pure sense.

> we just learn them by... querying how to do things when we need them.

The problem with this is that you don’t learn any new features that you wouldn’t have come up with on your own.

I loved reading the well-written manuals and “on-line” (integrated into the software) help of the 90s (and 80s) that explained all the concepts and features of the particular software. You’d learn a ton of new ideas and possibilities. It was really fun and exciting, and it gave you the perception of a well-designed and well thought-out whole. You built up a consistent mental model of the software, and you thus ended up with the feeling of mastery and control over the software.

Nowadays it feels more like poking the software with a stick in an attempt to build a mental model and discover its capabilities by trial and error, often remaining in doubt about the actual intent of how exactly things are supposed to work.
Out of curiosity, what laptop? My samples in the last 6 years are:

- Thinkpad Carbon X1 14" (i7-5600u). Everything worked out of the box with Arch Linux at the time. Best experience I've ever had.

- HP Envy 13z (R5 2500u) everything works today but the out of the box experience was very poor. Windows update installed an APU microcode update that broke the Linux AMDGPU driver and had to run an -rc kernel for awhile. Took a year to get a touchscreen driver and years to get the driver for the tablet sensors (rotation, etc.). Total wait of 3 years for all features, but I never had the desire to use it as a tablet so I was okay with it. Sleep works but this laptop had awful battery drain issues in sleep (30% per day).

- Dell XPS 15 7590 (i9-9980hk) - Sleep is broke in both Linux and Windows. Everything else works well, including, notably, NVIDIA Optimus / DRI PRIME.

- Asus ZenBook 14 (R7 5800U) - second best out of box experience. Touchpad is connected via i2c and my Gentoo install didn't have it enabled. I'd never bumped into i2c hid devices other than touchscreens.
Unfortunately, that didn't help. Fwiw, I have a Ryzen not an Intel, not sure if that module name is a misnomer though.
If one feels like they have an opinion to give on the matter I would imagine they invest at least a modicum of reflection on the subject.
Which as you note, NVME and the latest PCI generations turns on it’s head.

Those were due to bottlenecks that don’t exist anymore, and even in your example were even then only emergency measures due to local resource shortages.

ECC is also not reliable/sufficient in the face of issues that arrive when networks start playing their part.
