I'm on Ubuntu. I've got my home on a separate partition. Is replacing Ubuntu with Arch as easy as wiping the root partition, installing Arch and mounting home as home? Wiping and re-installing Ubuntu (which I do every couple of years instead of a dist-upgrade) has always been remarkably smooth, as in it took like 10 minutes and I was back on a working desktop with Firefox restoring my tabs from the previous install.

Arch actually has a guide to do it from within the other Linux, which seems crazy and fun. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Install_Arch_Linux_from_exi...
I dont think trees do that unless you bury them once they are full grown.

Normal tree life cycle is capture some co2, die, rot and release it all back into the air.
They're more than just a game studio these days, they're a major driving force of the entire industry. Linux gaming is totally viable today, something valve did almost singlehandedly over the last 7ish years (with big help from google, intel, and a few others). I'd say that's a pretty impressive feat.

Then you have their VR and steam deck hardware that is setting the bar for new gaming platforms. The fact that they also found time to ship a game is just icing on top IMO.
The problem with non-raspberrypi SBCs is, that after a few year, they become unsupported, and it's hard to get a recent OS with a recent kernel and packages available... I can still get newest OS for raspberrypi 1 (which is ancient by now), while RockPro64 has this:

> The ROCKPro64 4GB board designated as LTS (long Term Supply) model, PINE64 committed to supply at least for 5 years until year 2023 and beyond.

2023 is almost here :)
I'm right with you there. Hating and boycotting FB and all their products is the clear ethical choice.
I sincerely hope the company goes out of business.
> Protecting one group's rights by denying another group's rights

How were the males involved denied their rights by the school having them play sports on the men's team? The females involved sure lose their rights when males are allowed into their sports and spaces.

Lookup "Keffals" and "Hoogland transgender".

> Some staff said they were told teachers in kindergarten through third grade could not display [...]

If you're using something as a lead-in to a forbidden topic for your class's age range, it would be forbidden. Generally teachers should be like counsellors and keep their private life private so it shouldn't be a problem.

> Are you sure your news didn't "rename and reframe" it?

Yes, because even if it was as "bad" as you say, teacher's don't have a right to tell the kids whatever they want. Teachers are already recommended to not tell kids what religion they are, and until recently, what their politics are. This is about the kids, the teachers have a job to do.
I have heard a dozen variants of this question. But I don't quite get what is hard to understand about it.

In this scenario, I am using a headset (VR, with mixed reality so I can see the real world around me also as needed) for the exact same reason people use a laptop computer in a coffee shop.

The difference would be that I have many big screens instead of one small screen.

Like most people who go to a coffee shop alone in the city, I am not going there to... be in the coffee shop. I am going there to get a seat and get some work done (with the added bonus of a coffee, and possibly a sandwich or pastry).
Sounds like you’re making much more wild and less founded assumptions
If you believe world3 was correct, yes, we're nearing the decade where it happens, but this won't be by choice.

Basically our production+pollution seems to strain our renewable ressources more than our technological advances protect them. In most world3 scenarii it means a decrease in food production that lead to a population decrease.

It such a simple and interesting model, i find it sad that people tend to link it to 'the population bomb' which wasn't based on anything but gut feelings.
Poorer folks are probably not looking at average car ownership costs. They're probably going to buy cheap/crappy cars, which means it's probably reasonable to live in Houston. Of course, then there's the reality that a cheap car is much more likely to need significant repair, which could either cripple a poor person in constant need of the car, or bankrupt the person, and fuel is generally more expensive as efficiency is lower.

Do any UK people here know what the typical employer taxes are on payroll? US companies pay around 10% of the employee's salary in taxes (~8% for social security and some change for workers compensation, unemployment and whatever else the state demands). So if your salary is 100k, your actual value to the company is closer to 111k (plus whatever benefits they are paying like health insurance).

90k seems low compared to American salaries, but if the employer has to pay 50k in UK taxes to hire you, well, that (partially) explains it.

Wat. https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/man/man3/XQueryExtens...

X is full of extensions. Even extensions that the server does not need to worry about, e.g. EWMH [0] because the protocol is flexible enough to support that.

WCAG is kinda subpar. Last time I reached out definition of "owned" element and found there are open issues still discussing about it. In application context, I wonder if desktop apps are really accessible and no one complains about, or just the web got really bad rep partly because they are more accessible..bad examples.
Yes and no. Of course I can argue my way out of it just like I have done here, but it will summon a number in the head of others on valuable your productivity is. There is no way around that and this then also extends beyond the company you work for. It won't feel right for them to increase my salary by 100% just because I now work in a large corporation. They might still hire me for more, but the relation will be influenced by this, like a productivity debt that I have to compensate for. Especially also if my relation to my employer is in good standing.

There are some benefits with openness of compensation, but I would like to keep it private for me. I believe the lower end of salaries might profit from more transparency. As I have said, it should be possible to reveal it. Making it public by default wouldn't be my preference and I would feel the need to demand more from my current employer.

I am aware the secrecy is most often a vehicle for companies to supress wages. But I think selective and voluntary transparency can alleviate this.
Whatever, you make 90K and you can’t afford to rent a 3 bedroom flat and to pay nursery fees for 3 kids. You can call this “rich”, but you’d have a better lifestyle as a janitor in Germany.
I just got a message from a contributor to a popular macOS project I work on about this blog post and how it can help improve our performance, so I think you're mistaken.
In my experience, at least in the field of Solid-state Physics, double-blind review is quite rare. Also, it would be challenging to implement, since it's often very clear who is the group that submitted a paper. The community is not so big, everyone know everyone, samples and techniques are quite peculiar for each group and a paper typically cite a lot of previous work, to avoid large repetitions. It's not uncommon to guess well the reviewers
So, keep it simple, but make it juuuust a little bit more complicated?
This seems relevant, although it doesn't explain everything:

> How pay is determined

>"This is a haphazard process. The payment mechanism is to a very large extent bonus-based. So the contracts usually have a minimum pay segment in it, which is more or less established by tradition. And then the interesting part in this contract is how much is left to the peer review process, which is very complicated. It involves various layers of mutual assessment. "In companies like Microsoft or elsewhere, usually the bonus is something between 8, 15, 20 percent of the basic salary. In Valve, I'm told, there's no upper limit to bonuses. Bonuses can end up being 5, 6, 10 times the level of the basic wage." "Gabe [Newell] had this view from the beginning. He wanted a community of partners, he didn't want to be the boss of anyone or to be bossed around by anyone."

This is mostly a developer mistake, not that of a designer. You can easily make buttons appear as links, so there's no excuse not to handle this the correct way.

You also have to disconnect styling from HTML tags for your headings to get the h1>h2>h3 order semantically correct for accessibility and SEO.

Regardless, I think designers making links appear as buttons is bad practice, but you usually don't have much influence over design as a developer.
Have a network.

If you are good at finding a partner for whatever activity you need to meet in real life (romantic or physical) you will probably do ok on a dating site for a number of reasons.

There are lots and lots of women on dating sites looking for romantic connections and just purely sexual satisfaction. I have had lots of experience in this area. I slept with easily over 250 women in one year. I lost count.

Dating is a numbers game. You have to be in it to win it. A rejection is not a rejection. You simply move on and keep looking.

Finding a girl by doing an activity or simply striking a conversation requires confidence, personality and being genuine in my opinion (there are other methods). That is indeed the key. If you can do that in the street to any girl you find attractive you can do the same online...
I had a love/relationship with Ubuntu until 20.04. It broke too easily and too often. Canonical have improved the system quite a bit since the early / mid 1x releases, and these days I really enjoy it. I can take an ad or two in exchange for that.
The real question is is it too supportive?

Will the shareholders be keen to see so much of their money go to ex-employees for not much gain in PR or morale of existing employees?
> Young women don't have examples of successful female computer scientists or engineers they can relate to.

Why not? It feels like there's a movie made about them every other year. They also cannot go into politics, because ... women chancellors don't count, apparently.

> And many women still come from households where their grandparents or parents told them that their main purpose in life is to be submissive and supportive of a breadwinner husband and anything else is degenerate deviation.

"Many"? Granted, self-selection and all that, but zero of my female friends have said that this was a thing. I'm sure it's "many" in absolute terms, but relative to the whole population ... are you sure it's "many"?
The "keyboard" can just be a regular laptop with no display. All the storage and power you need.
Oof. That's painful for moral. Much better to do a single deep cut, with a shift back to growth.

Ask HN: Where to start writing a OS/kernel?
In the past few years, I'm seeing more and more toy kernel/OS implementations in various languages. I also encountered a few resources on how to do this.

So I'd like to dive into this myself, as a means to have fun, experiment, learn and demystify.

Where should I start if I want to write a toy OS or kernel? For example, I've stumbled on the following resources until now, are they any good? Do you have any others to recommend?

- https://os.phil-opp.com/ (I don't know Rust, but I wanted to learn so this might be a good idea)

- https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2022/xv6.html

Also, do you have any general tips/advice/insights in mind to share? Do you think it's a good idea for a hobby project?

Thanks in advance!

From the perspective of a french dude, 90k£ is something like 101k€, which is an INSANELY good salary.

For comparison, i'm actually paid 25k€ with 2 year of experience (Junior software developper), and a really good salary in this field in France is something around 48k€

Last point, the minimum salary in France is 1.5k€ per month, around 18k€

I believe it widely change depending on the country.

> It just means you're capable of leading projects on your own of reasonable size.

That's a "team lead" which is a particular skill of its own - I'm definitely a senior (age, experience, skills, breadth of knowledge, etc.) but absolutely not a "team lead" (or any kind of management) because that is a skill that eludes my brain.
I'd argue that we're in a golden age of role models. There's no longer just Rambo McBiceps, but also kind and sensitive male characters. The sitcom dad is slowly dying off, and we get to see competent, loving fathers. Gay characters are treated with more respect and nuance; they're no longer a punchline.

It's quite nice all around.

To be fair, the salary is relevant to recruiters for their compensation. For lower wages it often isn't worth it for them to recruit people. It isn't necessarily a judgement of you, although yes, overall your income is.

It's not even paid, at least not for personal use. From the website:

> Anyone can use Ubuntu Pro for free on up to 5 machines, or 50 if you are an official Ubuntu Community member.

From what I can tell it's LTS but with double support (10 years instead of 5).
The culprit is bad frontend developers and sometimes design. Nothing wrong with SPAs, and it's not that hard to make them usable.

Azure DevOps is still utterly shit though.
>Whereas on Linux, I can bind Win+Tab to "Previous Desktop", hold down the button, and watch the screen flick between almost as fast as the refresh rate of the monitor. It really makes a laptop, with a small screen and with no additional monitors, a high productivity environment.

In my opinion, you have right there concisely expressed the real differentiator of using a Linux tiling WM. While I understand that there exist numerous incentives for adding animations to graphical user interfaces, such as increased consumer appeal and furnishing the computer program with a time interval in which it can (re)load data, I would also like user interface designers to consider that for some, speed really is paramount, really is second to nothing, and then that those would like to opt out of animations. I care not if the GUI freezes for half a second when switching into a different context, as long as it's lower than the one-second baseline delay introduced by the designer. This becomes so much more important when dealing with the operating system --- it's in use all the time, and the time spent waiting in it compounds and throws one off! It's the "No Child Left Behind", but for GUIs --- let's file down peak performance in order to obtain a more uniform result.

On Linux using i3, swapping your workspace costs exactly nothing. I often find myself rapidly and repeatedly switching to-and-fro between any two of them, as if I were performing a trill on a musical instrument, whenever I want to compare the output of two applications. The WM is my personal concierge there. In Mac OS, it feels like I'm stuck waiting in a crowded queue at the post office when there's only one tired and miserable worker around.

It should be that easy, I myself went from Debian to Arch in the past an it just worked. The Arch install process will probably take more like 20 minutes if you do it for the first time though.
This is it. Debian is like Ubuntu but without all the cruft.

... and with older packages, but that's usually okay.

Reject ads in your shell, return to Debian.
Basically, the ODX accelerator was a startup itself.

Startup should thoroughly vet accelerator programs they apply to, because most are a waste of time in the best case or kill your company in the worst case.

One needs to understand the business model and the KPIs of each accelerator (just like with investors and customers) to figure out if there is a fit.
Staying fit to be able to fight for food.
I guess it was too early to get rid of the Google tracking. Now the situation is significantly better: it is possible to daily drive Librem 5 or Pinephone, as many people report (me included).
Join the SerenityOS project and improve/add-to the kernel efforts there?
Ok, good to know, thanks!

Setting this aside for a deeper read, but it appears at first glance that the concerns revolve around statistical technique rather than methodological soundness?
These are all interesting and worth looking at, but I found some metrics weird too. For example:

> 40 percent of organizations have at least one IAM user that has AWS Console access and does not have multi-factor authentication

Yeah, I hope your last resort, non-root account is locked in a safe place and has no multi-factor on it. Statistics are cool, but some context behind the findings is also useful.

Similar story with the active root accounts. If they exist only on paper in a safe, that's fine.
I moved countries last year and used the new phone number as an opportunity to get a banana phone. It doesn't have Signal, its Whatsapp doesn't support being connected to the webapp, its T9 implementation is absolutely horrific, and its 4G reception was very poor. After six months the 4G stopped working altogether and I reluctantly moved to a cheap Android phone by Motorola.

I wanted to be a believer, but it just…wasn't it for me.
I've found the opposite. Blind practice was enough for me in the first decade of my career but really understanding a topic requires more than just my viewpoint. Several books help me learn what the experts think.
That works. As you say, it was their loss, but the reaction surprised me at the time. I didn't have any problems negotiating a better salary when I finally left.
Fedora nails the basics.

Nice installer, unadulterated GNOME, well-stocked official repos and easy to add third party ones.

That's all I want these days. The only negative thing I have to say about my day to day Linux use is caused by Nvidia's shitty driver and power management issues. My next build will be AMD (or maybe Intel) graphics.

When you start the relationship or have sex is that in a group setting? Why are actual meetings with a girl awkward? It really helps to be happy with yourself and honest with the other person. If you meet a girl and are feeling awkward simply tell her this. Maybe she feels awkward also. Opening up and showing vulnerability can be attractive. You don't have to be the most handsome or confident guy. Just be you. That is always ok!

He might be but it doesn't mean that everyone doing it would be - I'm contemplating publishing mine (assuming I can remember that far back) and trust me, there's no bragging rights there at all.

Do you remember Ultima Online?
It has already been twenty-five years since we could go to Sosaria together. It was pretty new to play with other people in a graphical game. Ultima Online wasn’t the first online MMORPG (although now it’s assumed the term came with this game). But I do believe it was the best one. Why do I think so? I will get to it.
In the UK it’s a safe assumption that it’s yearly, gross.

> Arch actually has a guide to do it from within the other Linux, which seems crazy and fun.

It's not as crazy as it sounds, after all installing a Linux system is a matter of populating the rootfs, and passing kernel+initrd images to the bootloader. Just regular file system operations, apart from actually installing the bootloader to the MBR.

You can install Debian-based distros the same way using the "debootstrap" script.
Architect is becoming more adjacent akin to the manager path at some places. Lead is also more adjacent, given a junior can be a lead by proxy of leading others.
