I've used tiling window managers before, but I don't really find them to be that big of a productivity boost. I have two monitors and I prefer to have all my windows maximized. The only splitting that I need is in my text editor.

The one thing I do like is the command line - I find that to be a much better experience than power shell or cmd. But that is it. If I want to do anything creative that isn't text based it feels flatly inferior. But your mileage may vary based on what you like to do.

I love it in a server, I just don't like linux on the desktop.
I have never once made it through US customs in under 3 hours (and always with full search, interrogation, and not being cleared until an HSI detective appears).

The most successful commercial desktop linux distribution is probably chrome OS.

I use Manjaro and it's great but it's not for everyone. I've gotten my parents to use Ubuntu for a while on some old laptop. But people like that have a high chance of encountering issues that will require fiddling with configuration files or doing stuff on the command line. And it's deal breaker. People like my parents are simply incapable of doing either of those things. So, my father now has a mac and my mother uses an ipad. Zero IT support needed from me.

Chrome OS is probably the only thing that works well enough that I could recommend it to people like that. And with Chrome Os Flex, that's now an option. But it would be a bit of a downgrade.

Crypto is a scam propped up by criminals and price manipulators, both seeking profits at the expense of idiots. It has achieved nothing it promised, defrauded a lot of honest investors and made a lot of undeserving people unreasonably rich. Everybody involved in creating a cryptocurrency should be in prison.

Due to the existence of crypto/real currency exchange and the casual participation of whales who dwarf the community of real users, it is completely and utterly vulnerable to real world economic trends, rendering it useless as any kind of hedge. It has demonstrated time and time and time and time again that it is ludicrously vulnerable to exploitation in a thousand different dimensions even the most fiendishly clever people can't predict, and has wasted a spectacular amount of power for no real return. It has led to a disgusting and desperate financialization of anything and everything that has social relevance, to try and smear even a smidgen of that relevance on crypto itself, as it desperately searches for a use-case to justify itself, and it has created a generation of grifters who clog our content spaces with nonsense information about it.

Truly a great pox of our time.
Real answer: the Sun emits most of its light in the visual region. By Wien's displacement law[0], the wavelength emitted with the most intensity given the Sun's 5778 K surface temperature is 501 nm, which is bang-smack in the middle of the visual spectrum, and is a light greenish-blue.

Our eyes are more adapted to around 530-550 nm (which is more precisely green), because of two reasons: we evolved from fish, which lived in the ocean, where blue light is scattered (and thus green-red sensitivity is more important), and secondly, the atmosphere also scatters blue light, thus making sunlight more red.

Yeah, fair. Maybe we'll have to change the level of abstraction to where the neural net determines a math equation, instead of openly translating to and from different numbers?

I actually think this would be an excellent use-case because it's such a sprawling problem (and because law is already "squishy" in this sense, because it has to be, because it's all about the messy real-world). Imagine watchdogs being able to hand companies a neural-net that continuously audits them for compliance, which works across different companies and systems (you'd probably have a human make the final ruling once a company is flagged, but still)

Biden signed 30 executive orders his first week in office. In everything from climate change to the pandemic. Not sure anyone remembers but that was a big deal back in 2021.

We’ve wanted this for 50 years, Biden getting it done in under 2 years isn’t too shabby. Was it for political reasons? I hope so! It would be nice for the politically expedient thing to start lining up with what’s actually right and what people want for a change. As Milton Friedman used to say, “I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.”
There are two scenarios: a disaster that is bad, but from which humans can recover, and a disaster that ends us. The latter scenario is not entirely pointless: perhaps one day life will evolve again, or aliens will visit, and would it not be good for them to know we were here? It's a civilizational mark carved into the great Tree, "Humans were here." There are several interesting possibilities about how and where such a repository could be stored to survive through longtime, the best bet being the Moon, which is geologically inactive and quite extraordinary body, being large and the same angular size as the Sun as seen from Earth.

How would humans want to be remembered? We might focus on music, art, dreams, stories, philosophy, rather than technology, although that might be included, too. I suspect that zoology and biology would be particularly important, as this is the unique natural bounty of our world, the product of billions of years of Life living and dying.

This makes me want to write a story about how a world war begins over the selection of content of this Grand Time Capsule that kills us off.

> I also really like Windows 11

Same!

With all the keyboards shortcuts, and "new" apps like Windows Terminal, the experience is just wonderful!

Most of my apps are fullscreen, and Windows-Arrows to pin to specific quadrant on the screen is just as good as i3 and tiling wm.

Also, there's software for everything you may even think about: just yesterday, I wanted an app to display pictures while keeping the same position zoom factor, to take bits and include them in a report.

I found nomacs (free software), which is keyboard driven: my workflow became Alt-Tab, Win-Shift-S for snapshot, Alt-Tab again, Control-V, Alt-Tab and the arrow for moving between pictures.

> Poor battery life, poor trackpad gesture support, and awfulness of both flatpaks and snaps are just a few of the issues

It can happen on some Windows install, especially with newer hardware. But there're a lot of eyeballs on Windows, so getting a working solution is more likely.
This seems to be common issue with crypto exchanges. Coinbase support is non-existent too.
That’s a great technical example. How many times have you encountered an engineer who wraps up their tool’s interface and exposes its functionality through a YAML config file when really it should have just been left as a programmatic interface?

The hubris of the engineer is in believing they’ve thought of everything anyone could ever want to do with their tool. Imagine if a shell only let you set your PATH via a static config file filled with strings. It’s probably fine 99% of the time but at some point someone somewhere is going to start programmatically building paths.yaml. Yuck.
I think it's mostly trading some problems for others. I work mostly with static typing but prefer dynamic typing, and I don't feel that static typing offers much benefit for most programs I work on.

I actually really enjoy the assertive style of Elixir/Erlang. I think that while they are dynamically typed languages, the assertive style rests somewhere between dynamic and static typing, and in fact offers some safety benefits over your average statically typed language: while you don't get it at compile time, this idiomatic code offers benefits at runtime that most people don't bother with in other languages.
Do you notice a difference?
Totally agree that there’s a leftist cesspool as well. Never said there wasn’t.
> 2020 BMW

I generally find that the luxury European makes (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche) have more well-put-together cars than Tesla does, despite all of Tesla's posturing about being a 'premium car company'. I heard it put quite succinctly: 'Tesla is a software company that decided to build cars'.

Not to mention, it is an American software company that decided to build cars in the US, and the person I spoke to didn't have a very good opinion of American makes in general (I concur).

Tesla was at the forefront of EV innovation about 5-7 years ago, but today, I'd much rather buy an EQE, an i4, or an e-tron (or if I can ever afford it, a Taycan Turbo S).

Agreed. Although I don’t think the 3D printer is much of an advantage in countries with strict gun control. In those places, building the gun is the easy part. The hard part is primer (and to some degree, propellant).

For instance, the guy who just shot Abe. What he built was more of a hand cannon, because it’s very difficult to make proper cartridge style ammo without factory made precursor components. If your ammo technology is limited to cannon technology, that’s the best you can build anyway.

> Money transfers, particularly cross border payments. Low fees, quick confirmation from all parties.

Let me tell you my experience with trying to remit money to my family with crypto. I really tried to give it a fair shot, because finding a cheaper way to shift money around would be really nice.

I wanted to do it via stablecoins, because I have no interest in playing the speculation game with BTC/ETH prices. So the path should be:

* I transfer money to Coinbase, and buy some USDC

* I transfer said USDC from my coinbase wallet to another exchange's wallet

* I sell USDC on said exchange for MYR

* I transfer said MYR to my bank account

* Money goes from my MYR account to my family's

Simple enough, in theory. But, the Malaysian government has granted four institutions a license to trade cryptocurrency, and three of them only trade BTC and ETH, and the last ist BTC/ETH plus litecoin, bitcoin cash, and a bunch of other ones I've never heard of.

So here I'm stuck. It sure looks like the primary audience is speculators and not people like me who actually do want to transfer money cross-border.

But is it actually cheaper though, if I chose to use ETH/BTC? Well, the target to beat is transferwise's 61 basis points (used to be 45) (I'm also a liquidity taker, since I'm not interested in playing with price movements): first is 200 bps, second is 50+10bps, third is a startup that doesn't even list fees on their website, fourth is 50 bps.

But wait, since I'm not using stablecoins anymore I have to also pay liquidity fees on the USD side. Coinbase charges 60bps, bringing the total up to 110 bps, 50 more transferwise. I'm assuming the other exchanges are around that price, but unless they're under 10bps it's not cheaper than using transferwise.

So it's really not looking so good. It's not cheaper, it's not simpler, and it involves just as many KYC checks (required in both countries, and very strict ones on the Malaysian side).

I don't understand this phenomena in the Linux community of trying to convert anyone and everyone to Linux. But then again, I'm not want to convert others to my religion, sports team or car model.

Yes, there are Mac and Windows evangelist, but there's more and they are louder in the Linux community. You would think for a community that claims to support "freedom" and "opensource," they would live and let live what others use for operating systems.

The point is that you can try, but IMO it's wasted effort. Commits are immutable and really hard to manipulate retroactively, and humans are guaranteed to make mistakes. Why put so much effort into trying to make your commits atomic, when it's unlikely that they ever truly are?

Sure, you can git bisect to the exact commit that introduced a bug, but that commit was part of a larger PR, and you probably can't revert just that commit alone. So what was gained?

I don't think you can exonerate the democratic establishment who ran campaigns and funding drives on the back of protecting Roe while also doing literally nothing legislatively for nearly half a century (including periods where they controlled both legislative and executive branches).

FYI, the internet archive hosts a ZIM archive that has dumps of wikipedia and many other works. https://archive.org/details/zimarchive

I wish it was a little more obvious how to search it, or what all the variations mean, but it looks like a valuable resource.

It is worth noting that Kiwix works on multiple OSes and on phones and has a wifi hostspot version (that you might run on an raspberry pi, for example). Internet-in-a-box similarly works as a wifi hostspot for ZOM archives.

Lastly, it is worth mentioning that there are tools for creating your own ZIM files; it looks like the most straightforward way is to take a static website and use a utility to convert it into one self-contained file.

Is this true?

With the recent decision, we can see where it goes back to e.g. the creation of the Federalist Society in 1982, how nearly every conservative Supreme Court nominee since Scalia has been a member (Roberts is disputed but the other 5 current justices are, as were Scalia and Bork), and how some very clever and/or very dirty procedural maneuvering resulted in the conservative majority on the Supreme Court today.

Did that happen with the Burger court that decided Roe? A quick check suggests that of the 9 justices on the Burger court, 4 were nominated by Nixon, 2 by Eisenhower, and 1 each by FDR, JFK, and LBJ. I really have no idea, I'm sure there were plenty of politics involved with all of those as well but I tend to think justices of this era were nominated more on merit than ideology.

What focused campaign are you talking about?
Honest question: Why not do what most of the ass-clowns do when they get in front of congress - "I don't know, Senator. I have no recollection, Congresswoman. I plead the 5th, You Honor. No, we don't spy on Americans." etc.? Seems like no one ever actually faces any penalties for this.
It's still rather common for people running "blockchain" projects to completely misunderstand the both their project's requirements and what is provided by a blockchain.

I can point to a couple of large public projects using blockchain so provide nothing more than a centralised DB. Disappointing but as an aside, both projects are failing (wildly over budget, wildly over time, and no realistic prospect of being completed in the current direction) :(

> "Apple has been unable to accurately estimate any release window for the Apple Car or Apple VR. Therefore no one should invest in it." would be a pretty silly statement, right?

That's exactly how it works though. Imagine Apple's stock price if they announce the Apple Car, without a release window. Now imagine that they come back the next day and say "oh by the way, we're aiming to release it in 2086." What happens to the price? It goes down. There was an implicit estimate used to judge the value of Apple.

Likewise, all software has an implicit estimate. There has to be! Without one, it's worthless.
