That's besides the point and probably not accurate anyways.

First, my original point is that Ubuntu is only just breaking into the territory already firmly dominated by Red hat. The presence or absence of a free edition of EL doesn't really change that.

Second, that's not really how Red Hat works either; even CentOS lasted for longer than 3 years.

Finally, even if that was how Red Hat worked, that doesn't mean it's how Rocky works. I'm skeptical that a community operated project is going to come to the exact conditions that led to it being created in the first place. And honestly, even if they somehow did, there's like three other projects all doing free respins of RHEL.
Compare the IR-absorption spectra of water vapor, and CO2.

This retrofit will not have the expected effect on man-made atmospheric warming.
There are a great number of people who write just for the love of writing. I wish more of these people would forego the “centralized blogging” platforms and publish using independent systems. When Covid hit I set out to write one article a day using my own self hosted site. Over time it organically started to become more popular. A few of posts are now first page search results.

As pointed out by a number of people already, money will end up corrupting what was once a great and easy outlet for people to share original ideas. A better alternative is to continue building systems that make it easier to publish independently AND create search engines that are not optimized to return SEO optimized click bait garbage for profits. I want blogs from real people who write because they want to teach me something.

Let’s get back to writing good content, share it freely, and change the world.
Oh damn. I want work to buy MagicLeap ASAP. VR is cute for gaming but AR is where it's at. (Our AR is pretty weak IYAM.) At lot of coin was thrown into making MagicLeap but it needs to be consumerized in scaled-down products that can sell. Combine something like Oculus and ML such that there's both AR and VR in one package that's essentially also a smartphone.
If you’re making H2 from methane you’re obviously better off just burning the methane.

Methane also has the advantage that it more or less will never compression ignite, so it can be mixed with the incoming air and then be ignited with a small amount of diesel (“pilot ignited”) or using a spark plug.
This sucks and it’s the same as EasyMotion from 10 years ago.

Vim is imperative editing. You have to tell the computer how to edit by glueing together small nasty commands. It gives you “Vim problems.” The mouse is arguably a declarative solution. “I declare I want to edit here.” So much nicer and more efficient.
What’s the plan for compatibility with wireshark? SDK to write own filters?
You can produce hydrogen at home using blue algaea, but something tells me politicians aren't interested in voluntary individual solutions.
Your comment reminded me of the Zombie ant fungus which is able to control the movements of ants...and makes them move to better environments that fit the growth requirements of the fungus.

When it's done it uses its host to go as high up the forest as possible to find a better position to release its spores more effectively.

What blew my mind was that some ant colonies have learned that the zombie fungi is susceptible to other fungi infections, which they use as kind of a defense mechanism against the zombie fungi infection. They quarantine infected zombie ants and put other fungi next to it because the zombie fungi otherwise leads to potential eradication of the colony due to it having such a huge spreading factor.

That's why a lot of observed colonies in the tropical forests seem to harvest different types of fungi (for food and defense?).

yes. but no one claimed german legislation would make any sense :)
Ya gotta be kidding. Compare that monstrosity to The Jetsons self-folding jet car? Lol
No, I just want to hear different opinions from different parts of the world. Just because we live in the western world with high salaries does not mean that this is the norm.
Substack does suffer from the same potential terminal illness as Medium: An extremely high valuation relative to addressable market. I think both businesses were good low hundred-million-dollar businesses. Medium never found a way to justify their ~$1B cap. Substack's current valuation is currently $650M based on recent funding.
You don't scan the screen looking for labels. You are looking directly where you want to be and a label should appear over the place you want to go. That is the label you type to jump, you will never even notice the others or scan them.
Reminds me of Arthur C Clarke envisioning the US government making long-distance calls free in the 90s, from his futurism back in the 50s and 60s, in 2001: A Space Odyssey
I ask this question a lot too, and yeah it’s shocking to see how many that believe things like magic quotes or some other unknown layer solve everything.

Magic quotes is of course very different from an ORM doing the application-specific encoding. It’s just very worrying when people don’t know which layer of the stack sanitizes for them.

For those of you young enough to not have witnessed php. Magic quotes used to be a popular configuration option that would sanitize all GET and POST inputs to make it safe to use in sql. Needless to say, it didn’t work and instead corrupts user data that is not intended to go through sql.
I saw a short video the other day where someone was showing off some VR glasses that appeared to be Magic Leap. They were using it in an aircraft repair bay, where the magic leap would overlay 3D schematics of the internals of the aircraft over the entire aircraft itself. It looked like some kind of x-ray vision.

So basically it sounds like this is starting to roll out for use in niche professions.
It's simple, quit web development and slide into other niches. I found mine in blockchain and smart contract development. Now I find myself solving interesting problems rather than trying to make 1000 frameworks and libraries work.
I think that developers will always complicate things to the point where they can't complicate it any further. If something is already complex (due to browser incompatibilities, weird HTML/CSS/JS bugs, etc.) then developers can't raise the complexity much. Now that those issues have mostly been resolved, we've invented build systems and weird declarative/functional frameworks to bring it back up to that same complexity level.
So then, why did Stannis fail? He was too worried appearing powerful, preferring either Seaworth or Missandei to speak for him?

A Song of Ice and Fire is based upon simple observations about politics, yet I doubt ever increasing centralization or technology will lead to control over belief. I think the future will be powered by disagreements.
It's not that hard. The harder thing is actually using it properly and not trying to use it like it's a SQL database. Your application needs to be aware of things like tombstones and you have to model your data properly so you can have efficient queries and not run into problems with deletions. The operational side is pretty easy. There's a few things like compactions and repairs that need to be run periodically. The tooling all in all is pretty good. Java/JVM can be annoying sometimes though.
The plan with PayDevs is to give maintainers a choice - it's their decision to monetize or not monetize their open-source libraries. Furthermore, the sourcecode still stays open - only the convenient access to build modules / compiled libraries will cost a dollar a month.
Get ready for high humidity and rain. I'm sure nothing important will be blamed for the increase in flooding.
Doesn't water vapor come down as rain whereas CO2 stays up in the atmosphere?
The modern wilderness where almost all animals have died, with an outstanding bias to large animals and predators?

Not sure it is representative of pre-Industrial age wilderness if I'm honest
This article is just bs. The author was never "left" or anything like that. It is written from an conservative point of view what left thinking is like, like "feel bad for being white". Anyone that was ever concerned with racial discrimination does know that it isn't about making you feel bad because you're white. It is the conservative and alt-right side that tells you "The SJWs want you to feel bad because you're white".

So, the whole post is just a fictional conservative "Hey, let's make up a story about a leftist SJW female who suddenly became conservative". But they didn't get it right.
Not that it matters, but Medium never had a $1B cap.
While I'm for replacing modern shitty educational system I cannot help but to think that many companies are abandoning agile and firing the coaches so one of the fired coaches now wants to bring this to the field of education.

So before you had only the teacher breathing down your neck, now it's also gonna be an agile coach saying to that you "are not learning this the correct way, you have to do it MY way!"
> One approach to this problem has been the development of computationally complete SQL-based scripting languages such as Persistent Stored Modules (PSM)

I wonder what a modern SQL based general programming language would like.
Thiel Is Too Optimistic About Scientific Achievement Since the 70s
Their go-to-market / sales channel management people need to get their act together if they wish not to become a very expensive failed startup. Can't have sales be an afterthought and business culture lacking fiscal discipline until the money runs out. IYAM, paradoxically, the more money is thrown at a project, the worse the returns because there's an atrophying of resourcefulness when there's not as much survival pressure.

Do you know of any statistics on the demographics of HackerNews? I hoped that it is not mainly focussed on the US.
What happens if you send the 'write' to 3 nodes but only 2 are up?
you are correct, you can't have cycles in json. you can invent conventions for representing cycles, but can't express them natively.
i did write a toJS stringifier that handles cycles, but it outputs JS not JSON
Would be great to get a tool that could diff(erence) two JSON files, with the output being a grid of gray boxes, each gray box represents where a top level element is the same between both, and yellow box represents some sub-level item inside the top level item is not the same between both, blue boxes represent where a new top level element is only present in the left side (added), and red represents only present in the right side (deleted)

You could visually diff a whole lot of reports, pretty much instantly. Our PM had a paid tool that could do this, but wasn't sure what it was.
I don't have to download anything to use this tool. You have to download PlantUML
It's never been cool.

This is why I loathe interacting with my mother. Love her but could never have her live with me. She had a stroke and doesn't realize she calls at the wrong times during business hours and how she's inconsiderate. Plus, her personality changed and she only brings perfunctory, negative, demanding, and judgmental interactions out-of-the-blue. Can't really talk to her about anything because her mental capacity isn't great, she lost her sense of humor, and she has a difficult time speaking.
I am working on DestinE with workflow managers and posted my first entry in Who's Hiring some days ago. Lots of work and interesting challenges if anyone is interested in earth system models, NWP, workflows, HPC, GPU's, data formats, etc. Not only on my company, the BSC in Spain, but also in other countries/companies as well.
I wrote a post about writing on Substack on my (tech-focused) Substack a few weeks ago [1]. TLDR it's helped cure my procrastination.

Two further observations:

- The fact that it is a newsletter service and articles land in people's inboxes makes me much more cautious about trying to ensure that the work is of sufficient quality than I suspect would be the case for a blog / medium. I don't want to be embarrassed and I don't want readers to unsubscribe. This seems quite different to Medium.

- Substack's recommendation system does provide a very meaningful boost in subscriber numbers. There is quite a bit of concern though about whether this is reduces incentives for writers to attract new readers to Substack and so will ultimately harm the platform.

Show HN: TRAC – Convert a notebook / Python script into an interactive web app
TRAC is a serverless framework that can rapidly convert a data science solution developed locally in the form of jupyter notebook or python script, to an interactive web application that can be used by external stakeholders.
It is extremely useful to solve the “last mile” prod problem for internal DS solutions.

It provides a spreadsheet like UI for users to work with, also provides APIs to interact with the data so more complex UI can be built on top.

The invocation of the computation can be run locally or on kubernetes for now.

Users can provide multiple datasets, run the notebook with different parameters and conduct scenario analysis.

All the things are done automatically by scanning through the notebook provided. Data schemas, Parameters are inferred. UIs and APIs are auto-generated.
Theranos failed to miniaturize the needed blood sample size.
I don't think it's even a requirement. Games can utilize steam apis to have a better integration with friend list / invites / drm purchasing...etc. But they are not required to. You can just upload a standalone executable without calling steam api at all, steam won't prevent you from doing so. Actually, most visual novel games is in this category. Copy the game file and run it at some other place will just work.

Another example is original sound tracks sell as game dlcs. They are simply downloaded into game directory, nothing is protected.
Have they done a study to show the amount of humidity or rain that would be caused even if 100% of diesel engines were retrofitted?

I’d suggest that if your speculation is correct, then the American southwest would desperately love be that effect
Bank swimmers before 40. Get snipped. Your bank account and future offspring (should you choose) will thank you. Sperm quality declines with age and resulting offspring wouldn't necessarily be as healthy. Reminds me, I'm stepping away from the computer and going out. It's ACL.

This argument falls incredibly short by assuming every EV gets 100% drained daily.

The Simplifier's font is 4x4 including 1 pixel space on horizontal and vertical borders. The 4x6 font does not include that space, so it's an extra difference between them.

Interesting. I'm using a standard ubuntu install (gnome) with an apple magic trackpad and have generally enjoyed the experience - only notable difference is I've only been using Wayland (noticed gestures missing or screen tearing issues on X11), and had to install Firefox via a apt repo (agree on your complaints about snaps/flatpak/etc. frustration)

Perhaps I've gotten used to the deficiencies, but saying this with a bias of being a macos user for a decade that worked on custom touchpad gesture UI for a while.
Funny people are willing to leave with just 1 text banner which you can turn off.

Ubuntu is providing so much value on the server end, having predictable LTS release, quite up to date packages, easy to use zfs and solid experience, it seems people's use cases are for hobby only which has many alternatives.
This is rather inefficient in terms of labour.
I think it's not very well suited for that due to their root filesystem being immutable by default. You'd need to turn that off and that's not their recommended configuration. But it's not that hard to do.
not bad, a quick skim of the repo shows that the locale file sizes might be 50% or less as compared to Moment.js - approx. 1 kB per locale from day compared to 2+ kB per locale from moment

TAI wouldn't work on Mars either. Mars is higher up the Sun's gravity well. To keep Mars on TAI would require adding a leap second every 5-6 years as the divergence is ~0.18 seconds every year.

There is a time standard that theoretically covers both Earth and Mars, along with the rest of the solar system: Barycentric Coordinate Time (TCB): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_Coordinate_Time But to achieve a singular, shared reference clock you have to give up everything else TAI advocates believe is important in a time standard.
Bram is consistently updating vim and recently shipped 9.0 which introduces Vim 9 Script. I would say that there is a line being drawn in the sand more distinctly now, though. Those that adopt the new vim script will probably stick with vanilla vim and neovim's team has no plans at this time to support it [1]. And all these lua plugins are only compatible with neovim.

Apple could supply those ROMS perhaps. They won't, but it seems a shame to ignore their own heritage.

Now, from Apple's point of view? That's old news, and the future is more compelling. Totally get it.

But it is stuff like this which keeps the iPad in the catagory of "toddlers toy" for me personally. It's really nice hardware too.

I own one. Was given to me. It really did end up being used as an excellent toddler toy!! The various touch games I found were really good and did promote some key skills.
Ubuntu LTS is only 5 years, and only for the core (the server stuff really, the 'main' and 'restricted' repos). Desktop and other 'universe' stuff has a shorter time frame.

After 5 years, companies wanting to keep running older versions of the OS require 3rd party security updates at a minimum for compliance issues, even if they think they can protect themselves and their customers without it. This was Ubuntu Advantage and Extended Security Maintenance (ESM). And now it seems Ubuntu Pro. UA lots of people got for free, either due to only needing a few seats or it being included with their cloud. But bigger shops with their own hardware would need to pay, or get to explain to the media why they didn't bother if they get breached.
yes just go with the teh stack youre familiar with, the goal is to solve their problems and get sales

Same here. Wow I just realized that I wouldn't pay $5/month to medium but I am paying over $50/month to various subscriptions on substack.
And yet a lot of very wealthy people and companies wrote on Medium.
Their mistake is shipping a whole computer with their display. It may still be successful in enterprise settings, but externalizing the CPU/GPU to an iphone would make this device so much cheaper.
The non-YouTube authoritative copy of the recording includes the other audio track(s) and sub(s), typically (for at least most main track talks of 33c3/34c3/35c3/36c3) including the live English/German dub (whichever the speaker doesn't use) courtesy of a volunteer at the event.

Steam dont require games to have any DRM. Developer might avoid Steamworks altogether and can also make it degrade gracefully: for instance disable online features if Steam API is not available.

This is entirely up to developer to decide how they use Steam.

Something not covered in the article, but I have wondered about. How does Starlink do the handover? The satellites are in Leo and thus have orbit times of around 90min or so (not sure about the exact number), so every cell must be served by several satellites at the same time no? Otherwise we would see significant interruptions at the handover.
Yes! that is such a breath of fresh air compared to the usual privacy policy.
True in the developed world.

However, there are quite a few existing Diesel engines in the developing world where the grid isn’t as sorted.

Now, I don’t know if hydrogen distribution would be a bigger challenge than just solving electrical distribution. But it does seem like this is a technology that could have some purpose. I mean, what about retrofitting diesel backup generators?

Estimating and forecasting are vital components of adult logistical arrangements, and a basic, inescapable mental faculty of mammals. It's absurd to think a sentient adult can "live in the moment" without conceptually processing past and future and not starve to death—let alone hold down a 20th century profession.

Having a critical faculty disrupted by physiological stressors is reasonably pathologized.
Right now dalle is lacking. I feel very strongly that we will see the tech improve exponentially in a short time. Img2img strategies, for example, might allow you to ask for modifications to a previous output. Machine learning tech is already there, it just needs to be put in the right package. Add in future advancemens in AI, and we are likely to see high quality products built on this within a couple years.
