Know where I've had troubles with Bluetooth on Linux? Discord! Stupid Discord keeps forgetting my Bluetooth headset lately. Saddest thing about that? I've heard my Windows using friends cursing Discord over the exact same issue on their Windows 10 and 11 rigs. (Leads me to believe it's not entirely Bluetooth's fault every single time, but sometimes badly written software doing screwy things that confuse the Bluetooth somewhere along the way.)

In my case it's only been Discord doin' this, while everything else that uses the same headset has no troubles with it at all.
Congratulations on your new family Jay!
Pop has gone from something that was expected to "just work" to deciding it's more of a developer or enthusiast product.

Linux still needs an 'it just works' version. I really thought pop would be it, but the last year of development has been very disappointing with system breaking updates being pushed (I'm on system 76 hardware).
I'm curious as to known state of the art and conjectured designs that could work for them -- that is, is their goal even possible?

And not that they have the runway to do this (bad pun), but to do a SpaceX style rapid iteration on design / production techniques that could make it happen.

It's not that I weep for the rich to be unable to fly around the world faster than the rest of us -- just general fascination with technology and where it can go.
I have a laptop from System76 (which is a linux vendor). Suspend usually works, but once in a while the graphical UI does not come back. I can ssh into the laptop and restart gdm and it's fine after that.

I needed to do some additional steps to enable hibernate because the drive is encrypted and the default swap was not big enough to hold the RAM. But after that hibernate doesn't appear to work if I have any USB devices plugged into the laptop.

I'd appreciate any tips on either issue.
> how much plastic we waste in general

There is already an excess of carbon to get right there on the atmosphere. Again, the problem is how the plastic is made, not the sheer amount of it.
If you are asking if the algorithm can be generalized from 1D to 2D or even higher, then the answer is yes. For example, one could take the BWT of all rows and then all columns (using a different terminal symbol for each dimension), and that would be reversible.

Question is if that is useful for compression.
I feel like OP used an AI to generate a comment
That’s truer and truer the more generalized the position/hiring pool. “Developer at GiantCo” will end up doing leetcode interviews by default. Cofounding as a technical founder will be pretty much all about personal fit. Between these two extremes is a wide continuum (smaller companies, tech positions at non-tech firms, freelancing, consulting…) that’ll have different processes for finding a fit between someone with a problem and someone proposing a solution.

If you truly hate the way interview processes have run for you, it’s worth considering if you feel strongly enough about it to seek a different fit in the market. You might not, and that’s fine! But alternatives do exist.
The Romans thought they ate it into extinction (although they didn't really have the concept of "extinction," per se -- it's more likely they just thought there was no more for them to find).
The language won't fix it (it's just a tool after all), though it may enforce certain rules that help the developers not shoot themselves in the leg. Rust has some fairly strong guards, as long as you don't circumvent them. At least it takes some conscious effort to make a Rust program segfault, and almost every IoT appliance (non-automotive, though, I haven't worked with those) I've had that I've reverse engineered had a command that could crash it - I've rebooted my cat feeder way too many times to my liking.

What could be an important change is the culture. At the very least, developers who tend to pick Rust may be (hopefully) more inclined to do things the right way and don't just slap shit on the codebase until it sticks. I've seen way too much of this attitude in embedded developers.

And another important change could be management policies. If they are conscious to pick something uncommon, they might have better tolerance toward spending more time but doing things properly, than pushing people to release whatever seem to work (somehow).

I'm pretty sure a lot of bullshit in IoT happens because management want to release things as fast as it's possible, and developers either don't care or can't fight it.

I've mentioned this in a different subcomment, but I should note that the laptop I mentioned in the parent post is "ubuntu certified"[1]. I realize now that this means much less than having "official" support from the manufacturer, but there's certainly a lot of misleading bits about the way these things are marketed.

Hello! I have been using PopOS which is a derivative of Ubuntu that comes with Nvidia drivers baked in. Setup on every XPS since 2018 (I buy a new one every year), has been about 20 minutes. Dell devices have excellent Linux support. Battery is a problem, I can get 5-7 hours in PopOS vs. 5-9 hours in Windows, depending on what I'm working on by using $ powertop --auto-tune and $ tlp start. Disabling touchscreen, and disabling cores directly also works extremely well when I know I need a longer battery life (9+ hours on 2021 xps with half cores disabled, running around 6-8 watts). PopOS also offers the ability to turn discrete graphics on or off which can also increase battery life.
Tom Morgan – Personal Myth Making
As a consultant, I try to reduce my billable hours as much as possible, then charge an appropriate amount for the value I have created, not the time spent, and this leaves me more time for more clients or leisure.

Is this not the typical mentality?
Yes, but that still leaves the problem, which shouldn’t exist in the first place (edit: and on Windows doesn’t).
Keep in mind that we've seen an interesting phenomenon over the past few decades where the average peak age of professional players has been going up. This includes physical sports like baseball, football as well as things like chess, fighting games and various esports.

I think the peak age thing ends up being less due to actual aging and more due to the responsibilities of life taking time away from practice.
Windows 7 was my last Windows ever. Ads are unacceptable.

I used to have a Windows 7 system and a Ubuntu system. One day the Windows system broke down, and I switched to using the Ubuntu system for almost everything. Over time, that became "everything". I haven't turned on the Windows system in months.
Not the person you are replying to. But I did it by focusing on learning soft skills and project management skills - even though I am not a project manager.

I focused on small companies before my current job where the director/CTO was looking for people who could demonstrate a history of being “smart and get things done”.

I avoided the leetCode grind by preparing for a couple of years to target the cloud consulting department of the two of the major cloud providers or if necessary one of their partners. I knew that a combination of software development, infrastructure, cloud, and soft skills would give me a competitive advantage.
Serious men will just burn the box the next night.

Now if you just make it shout twitter handles and/or facebook profile names that would be hilarious.
Wow me too, glad I wasn't the only one
I haven’t had to concern myself with drivers, kernels, proper sleep behavior, or any of that other low level bs since switching to a Mac in 2006.
Right? I spend 4 days in the woods adventuring and exploring... How dare I take a few pictures along the way that only take a few minutes!
This has also been my experience with a new ThinkPad P1 G5. Wifi didn't work out of the box with stable releases of any of the distros I wanted to use, I had to use the testing release, and even then the wifi is unusably bad unless I'm sat right in front of the AP (all other wifi devices in my home work perfectly fine from any room).

Putting the OS or even just the display to sleep causes the whole thing to completely freeze, forcing me to hold the power button until it shuts off.

Other than that, usable, but some really bad quirks that would make me switch back to Windows if I didn't have workarounds (use an ethernet cable, never let the display sleep, never close the lid while the laptop is running).
Dell Latitudes have been relatively painless for years with Ubuntu/Kubuntu LTS, probably because Dell sells a version with Ubuntu preinstalled. Still, Dell doesn't have fingerprint reader support in Linux, and the built-in card reader needed additional setup, but other than that it just works on a fresh install. Even my favorite Windows games work on Steam with Proton, if you accept minor texture glitches, which I gladly do to avoid dual booting.

I love it because these days I have less time to fiddle with it every six months.
these are strawman arguments, that I think can all be talked about individually, and this is all for you to pick apart one dream you heard about replacing state backed currency. This is one of the narratives I was referring to as worth making fun of.

so can you try rewinding and responding again, putting that particular thing aside and responding to the ways people use the amount of speculation in crypto to ignore the amount of speculation in the parallel economy? It functions accurately to power a permissionless economy, rampant speculation is because humans are in both. That means it’s working as a platform.

Regarding what dream or narrative that is from: There were threads where people talking with Satoshi realized contracts and derivatives could be executed on chain and even collateralized with the cryptocurrency, and this has happened and will continue.
That's awesome! That's how I've used it so far and it works great, no complaints.

ps. are those people already at fly? shameless plug - would love to work on things like that.

This seems to me as a more generic problem with newer hardware, not specific to Linux. Likely devices rushed out the door to meet some idiotic deadline, badly specced and with incompletely implemented drivers.

At the end of 2021 I got an EliteBook 845 g8 (Zen 3) that worked completely fine out of the box on Linux (Arch with up-to-date kernel). Every last bit of kit worked perfectly. Bluetooth, IR webcam, fingerprint sensor, light sensor, mute LEDs, etc. On Windows, to this day, the webcam isn't recognized because of some USB chip along the line. There's also a lot of lag when adjusting the display backlight, for some reason.

I also have its cousin, an EB 840 g8 (intel 11th gen). A few days ago I installed Win11 22h2 on it. I was lucky to have had an external mouse, since neither the touchpad nor the track point could be used for setup. And it absolutely needs the latest Intel GPU drivers to correctly output 4k@60 through its HP dock (DP pass-thtough, not DisplayLink). On Linux, the same display setup has worked well since day one. But the mute LEDs are still broken.

Both laptops don't come with integrated wired network, so I have an HP USB dongle (Realtek chip). This works quite well on Linux. On Windows, it initially works well, but then, for some reason, Windows figures it needs to update the driver. Then it gains some interesting failure modes, where from the terminal I can do whatever I want, but Edge keeps thinking the connection is lost.
That's cool, tell it to Linux 5.18.11 which will not detect my ELANTECH i2c trackpad even if I use allyesconfig
Funny that AI is certain the mushrooms are made of plastic. I don't think many people get this as a first interpretation. (Personally, I got the plastic doing the eating one.)
To me the numbers imply the steps are sequential, so I'd say the answer is actually turn 1
As far as I've read, and I am not a doctor (although am married to one), it's the lack of fiber and huge amounts of sugar and salt that contributes to most of the health issues we North Americans face. Meat-replacements though are more about environmental causes (as this article points out). I think they would do tremendously better if they could argue that they were healthier options too.

The milk-replacements are even worse in this regard. Oat milk seems healthier than cows milk somehow, until you realize it has 50% more sugar, twice the carbs, half the protein, and fewer nutrients. I really don't understand how alternative milks have positioned themselves as healthy and artificial meat somehow has not.

Jonathan Blow is a creative, productive and overall smart guy, but reading his code will make you want to slam your head against the wall.

What irritates me the most are the long, non-linear comments full of distracting noise. It's like reading a choose your own adventure novel.
It’s a legal requirement, where I am. I just know of several cases where that wasn’t done. And in the case of that Flickr account I do wonder whether the author stopped the cyclists to ask, where I’d guess he would often maybe not be able to.

Everything in potatoes (leaves, flower and fruits) is poisonous. All except the potato but not always.

Green potatoes are very poisonous because they have a defensive substance called solanin. But crops were selected to remove the solanin.
In somewhat related topics, I think we can just use stable diffusion to help convert single photos to 3D NERFs.

1. find the prompt that best generates the image

2. generate a (crude) NERF from your starting image and render views from other angles

3. use stable diffusion with the views from other angles as seed images, refine them using the prompt from 1 combined with(add descriptions to generate "view from back", "view from top", etc

4. feed the refined views back to the NERF generator, keeping the initial photo view constant

5. Generate new views from the NERF, which should now be much more realistic.

Run the above steps 2-5 in a loop indefinitely. Eventually you should end up with a highly accurate, realistic NERF which is full 3d from any angle, all from a single photo.

Similar techniques could be used to extend the scene in all directions.
This is my experience too. I love hiding detail for readability, but you have to hide the right details!

It's also definitely related to testability for me. If I'm pulling out the right details, then I'll often get a nice cluster of tests that pin down the higher-level concept in a way where it's both the production and test code that gets more readable.
You could make the box out of concrete and metal. Or, you could just accept that people will burn / destroy it in one night. It's an art installation - the point is provocation and reaction. If people destroy it? Well, I think that would be a satisfying conclusion.
I have an HP gaming laptop. Zero issues running ubuntu. Detects my SD card reader and everything.
Think a big difference with those is you had a handful across the country. The odds of being caught up in it were basically nil.

Tiktok douchebaggery trends significantly increase the odds of random innocents being caught in this garbage, see the top comment who apparently got hit twice.

And then there’s the shit that’s actively dangerous to third parties. Like pretty much any involving cars.
I don't recall versions, but the broken journal was whatever version was current in the early mid '00s. The symptom was as if a hard shutdown (on an fs without a journal) even after a clean OS shutdown-- i.e., have to run fsck on every startup (deleting/creating new journal fixed issues; just notable to me since I've never observed similar fs corruption on any other platform).

Early '00s for the malloc issue with things that used autoconf. I first ran into this when attempting to build AIDE + deps on AIX. Creating a wrapper around AIX malloc and linking it in was easier than re-working a bunch of autoconf scripts.

I haven't touched AIX since the late mid-00s. My comparisons were to the state of its contemporaries, at the time.

Yes, nothing is perfect, but AIX was the wartiest, and experience from other NIX transferred the least, of the commercial NIXs that I've used (IMO, Solaris was the nicest of the commercial offerings [pre-Oracle]). But, it looks like AIX was liked/loved by quite a few folks per this comment section-- I wish we'd had some of these folks on staff at the job with AIX boxes, so those of us less enthusiastic about the platform wouldn't have had to deal with it.

Probably nothing.
Can you expand on " It will make you question the value of your time." ?
Ok, I admit I fell for it completely until the final sentence about Satoshi.
>Wrap All Primitives And Strings

Gah. I've seen the other side of this, a few people far too trigger happy to make FivePlusVeryLongNounVO/DTO for every little thing, and it gave me some new appreciation towards tuples and primitives. Sometimes you really don't want to go into another new file for an object type which is used in only one specific place. Especially with

>Don’t Abbreviate

Meaning the variable name will end up long anyway. With tuples, you get deconstruction without the hassle, too.
True though. Half our team runs Linux with minimal issues across a variety of modern hardware. Infosec consulting, so pretty demanding users, but also pretty experienced with Linux. there are caveats and small things, but I will take them over Mac or Win these days.
Paper is porous. Metal sheets are closer to it.

Any biological digestion of plastic will be either a very slow process focused on microplastics or have a large mechanical component.
I don't think that Linux should support any hardware, especially if its vendors do not provide drivers and documentation.

Instead, there should be an actual list of well supported devices and people should buy only them.
You’re confusing two types of videos.

There is one like you describe where people act a GTA like scene while replicating animations that make no sense in real life. That’s cute and funny.

There is also a trend of people harassing unwilling bystanders. That’s shitty.
This means it should be the rule of five. We can't count on everyone having full capacity all the time.
I don't know. I can relate to not wanting to be dependent on external factors or substances. But you wouldn't say the same thing to a diabetic who needs insulin, right?.

(Then again, some forms of diabetes can be "cured" (removing the need for external insulin) by a ketogenic diet. Then again you could say the diet is also an "external factor"...)

There seems to be this cultural issue around mental health problems, this stigma associated with them. You wouldn't tell someone in a wheelchair they just need to try harder to get up
the stairs! But with brains that's basically what most people say.

On the other hand, neuroplasticity is real and it is amazing. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain is a great book on this subject. A lot of people get attached to a label that describes their current limitations and keep themselves in that box forever.

I was able to significantly increase my Conscientiousness (organization and work ethic) by consciously transforming my self-image. (ADHD can be very loosely defined as a pathologically low level of conscientiousness.)

This worked surprisingly well but it did require a constant level of effort to keep up the act, because I wad quite literally using my acting skills to be a person without ADHD. Same hardware, different software!
But the students with Windows laptops did not have these kind of problems. Although I can think of a lot of issues, in this "very niche thing" Windows worked "out of the box" and Linux didn't.

Actually, three jobs ago back in 2015, I had two interviews. The first hiring manager asked me to do a merge sort on the whiteboard. The second company’s new director told me what problems he was having and that they were on an acquisition spree and what their plans were. He asked me how I would go about helping them.

Both interviews were about half a day, I got offers from both the company that asked me to do a merge sort paid slightly more. I accepted the second job.

Real business folks have real world problems to solve. They don’t care whether you can reverse a binary tree.

As an aside, one of the more junior people that I would be leading asked me how I would parse addresses while the director was in the room. I said I wouldn’t. I would license third party CASS software and explained all of the corner cases and then went into my speech about a company shouldn’t concentrate “on anything that doesn’t make the beer taste better”

Insulation almost always wins during initial construction.

Solar panels probably come in second because they create waste energy that unlocks free EV charging, etc, etc (but you will pay more than $10K for the system), so, thanks to sunk costs, other stuff becomes "free".

Heat pumps are probably the cheapest big bang for the buck upgrade for existing construction (especially if you have to replace your HVAC anyway). Minisplits are often a big win for retrofits of buildings without central air.

All of these things are dominated by labor costs, and we are in the middle of a labor shortage. You are unlikely to find realistic financials unless you get bids and compare with your personal energy rates.

We didn't do any of that.

We just assumed energy prices would continue to explode over time (we were right), and jumped off the inflation carousel by putting in solar and all electric appliances.

Also, we can't get natural gas service, and propane costs 4x per BTU more than natural gas around here. Most electrical appliance upgrades are subsided by the government to make them competitive with natural gas.

That made it a no brainer.

Since then, a bunch of indoor air pollution research showed that natural gas causes asthma, etc, etc. Also, the war in Ukraine started.

So, what are your health, future financial predictability, and engineering economics braincells worth? For us, the answer was "less than the installation cost of the system".

Also, after all they put us through, seeing a -$120 bill from PG&E each month makes me irrationally unhappy. ;-)
Arch is a rolling release distro. So it gets hardware support faster than other distros that stick to older kernels and userspace. Most users are not on rolling releases.

I personally like the rolling approach, but that doesn't reflect everyone's experience.
