Lot of wisdom here. I agree with everything you wrote.
Looks cool. The fact that same shell runs on both mobile and desktop conceptually reminds me what Canonical was trying to do. Being based on web technologies, couldn't you make a browser runnable demo for the interface? Such as the Flutter-based shell https://web.dahliaos.io is doing.
What makes you say it's well known? I'd say it's closer to barely known.

I definitely learned more about what this this about on the author’s wikipedia page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Orlowski) than the article.
I have never seen anything more efficient at making group decisions than a pull request.

If your team is getting on a call to present things or to talk things through, you’re very likely on a train to nowhere.

In a remote setting, every ounce of effort spent toward emulating “meat space” distracts from the artifact, the work product, and the result.

I am on a team now who records meetings so they can re-watch them. Let that productivity drain set in.
Just because some wikimedia activities (primarily legal compliance, financial management, contractual work for hosting) are vital to wikipedia does not mean others are (arbiter of other charities, social causes, events, etc). And by budget spend and headcount allocation, there's far more of the latter yet they portray it as if it's the former that is at risk
This happens in larger fields too. For example in AI, which is a large research field, you can be blind-reviewing a paper, but it uses a proprietary google dataset, so you know where it comes from. Blind review is not the answer, I fear.
I'd point out that "link me up" isn't a phrase used in Indian English either, so the person who fakes this wasn't really trying hard.
That is very kind of you! I reckon that what I said might make a lot more sense when combined with this pdf:

You're making the same mistake as all the people that hand wring about "America doesn't regulate/ban <thing that is regulated/banned at the state level but not federally>. Houston the city doesn't regulate a lot of things. But its various neighborhood associations (which are somewhat comparable to town governments on the East coast and council governments in the UK) regulate at lot of that stuff instead.

That said, looking at how places that have gone hard the opposite direction have turned out YOLO sounds like a pretty damn good compromise. Technical engineering problems related to groundwater resources, pollution, etc, etc, are but a trifle compared to politicking yourself into a situation where things suck and no progress can be made because of entrenched interests that benefit from the suck.
…in regulated markets.
I suspect the mechanism goes something like this:

Reviewers prioritize their time above all, and after that correctness，leaving novelty in last place. If a paper comes from a unknown lab it tends to get greater scrutiny because a famous name is a subconscious stand-in for correctness. You spend less time reviewing famous authors because you think they are less likely to have bugs.

What’s the problem? Wikipedia will always be free to use.

Some people will always support it, others won’t. Life will go on.

This is exactly like trying to cancel someone on YouTube. Just don’t watch the channel.
The approach I've followed for many years is to have /home mount on a separate partition from anything else. Then when you do any kind of fresh install or upgrade, you only have to make sure that partition doesn't get touched (and usually that's the default) and all is well with the world.

It would be slightly more work involving parted (or whatever partition manager you prefer) to create a new partition, resize existing partitions, etc., but quite doable (if tedious and time consuming).

I wish they would make it more responsive for X11 forwarding

It used to work fine, but then it became completely unresponsive. There are some options to restore the old behaviour ((gfx.webrender.force-disabled, gfx.webrender.force-legacy-layers, gfx.webrender.software or something), but it is still less responsive than it used to be
It’s kinda cool but apparently you can’t really be accessible AND script-free because they say you should change some aria attributes and potentially some focus when you open modals like menu and dropdowns.

A #menu href coupled with :target style is technically more accessible because the focus naturally shifts to it. Then the exit button should point to #menu-toggle so that closing the menu brings the focus back to the origin.
It’s deceptive. People give money thinking they are supporting one thing, and it gets used for something else.
Something I learned a few years back: Never read vendor or conference blogs.

The number one cause of AWS security issues is human error or not understanding what you are doing. AWS provides a hell of a lot of tooling, documentation and guidance to manage those risks out of the box. What doesn't help is buying a vendor product first and assuming it's going to do magic unicorn farts and make everything ok. What it will do is cost you a ton of money and time to tick a box somewhere that seemed like a good idea.

Someone selling a solution to those is selling you snake oil.

All of the issues identified will be picked up by Trusted Advisor or complain loudly on the IAM dashboard. If you don't notice that or don't use it, then your funeral.
Nuclear has screwed up its costs even with political support.

Oh please, the mentions of having to seek alternative funding models like subscriptions and ads are clearly meant to raise the image of a site on the brink of unsustainability to potential donors

Read the screenshot: "... humbly ask you to defend Wikipedia's independence", "if you donate... Wikipedia could keep thriving for years".

The question as to whether this is manipulative isn't "is there are any clear statement of fact that is unambiguously a lie even in the most charitable possible interpretation?", it's "will this make ill-informed readers think their donations are necessary for Wikipedia's survival, and is this impression created deliberately?"

I think that's a very obvious "yes and yes".

"Wokepedia". This guy certainly has an axe to grind. Looks like urging people not to donate is in fact a right wing attack on Wikpedia - "The Daily Telegraph" of course being a Murdoch newspaper.

From the authors Wikpedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Orlowski

"Writing for The Daily Telegraph in May 2021, Orlowski said that the Wikimedia Foundation was "flush with cash" and passing money to the Tides Network, which he described as "a left-leaning dark money group"; he referred to Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" in an allusion to the term "woke".[24] In another article for The Daily Telegraph, in December 2021, Orlowski said the Wikimedia Foundation's urgent fundraising banners on Wikipedia were "preposterous" given that it held assets of $240 million and had a $100 million endowment, and the Wikimedia Foundation Deputy Director had said in 2013 that the Foundation could be sustainable on "$10M+ a year".[25] In August 2022, Orlowski claimed that Wikipedia had "become a tool of the Left in the battle to control the truth", referencing the recent controversy over Wikipedia's definition of a recession.[26]"
I bought a $300, quite old, but many-core workstation from eBay a few years ago.

Plugged it in, installed a Linux and gave it a static IP.

We're building out our bootstrapped startup on that box for $0 per month.

It's the fastest CI service I've seen in years, admin takes a couple hours every couple months, and the minimal webapp that no one visits yet is crazy fast.

He's named Blue.

We love you Blue!

The good: No monthly fees, extremely fast compared to small/medium/large instances, full control and we retain local access when the internet goes down.

The bad: I live in an (un)developing country (FL) without reliable power or internet, so I had to buy a UPS and still get occasional external outages.

Everything on it (that I care about) is backed up in Git or S3.

It's been a real pleasure to spend a few hours setting up my own thing and not having to chase a bunch of service deprecations, API changes and general bullshit that still seems to plague cloud environments.

Obviously, I wouldn't scale up anything huge with this "stack," but I have every intention of running it until we absolutely must migrate and I suspect we'll go a lot further than expected with Old Blue.

I mean everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, but if the implication of those opinions is that we should take one of the last truly great sites on the Internet and ruin it with ads, then I think its fair for others to treat those opinions as ideas worth avoiding.

Yeah man, and how dare the Red Cross manipulate people with pictures of starving children in their famine relief ads? A graph showing the intersection between available calories trending down and required calories staying constant would land so much better on HN.
>>. A body pretending to represent free speech and human rights that's stuffed with illiberal violators of human rights.

UN literally never pretended to do such a thing - it's just a forum for countries to meet and discuss issues, with no power to really do anything other than agree or disagree with each other on whatever is being discussed. Kicking out say Russia or China or North Korea from the UN makes no sense in that context, because you can't have an international forum for discussion if you are not letting countries in to actually you know, discuss.

I think it stems from the idea of UN that people have in their head, maybe it's embedded by the popular media or otherwise, but I see people complaining that UN doesn't force countries to do X or Y. That's literally not how it works - it's just a forum to talk, nothing less nothing more.
Don't you recognise authors on topics you're most competent to review on?
Then again it's a different platform. Can a MBP compare to a 5K desktop monitor?

I get they are trying to make this a productivity tool, but there's a lot of productive use cases outside of directly editing text.

I don't understand what you're trying to insinuate and how negative effects can arise. We have double blind review in all major journals.

1. If a reviewer recognizes the author without declining the review, the result cannot be worse than without blind review. A difference would only be if the names of the reviewers are also not anonymous, but this creates much worse problems and would seriously jeopardize the review process.

2. If a reviewer doesn't recognize a dupe or paper very similar to one already published, then the reviewer is not competent and the journal has a problem with the reviewer pool or reviewer selection. That is a problem in any case, and is the reason why bad quality journals exist.

3. If the reviewer is incompetent, unfair or even insulting, then the author will complain to the editorial office who will then investigate and possibly get a third reviewer. The editor in chief or area editor can see the reviewer replies, just not the names of the reviewers and authors.

4. Your point about stealing research is not an issue. The publication is not anonymous; theft will be discovered very quickly by the scientific community (which will discover it more likely than two reviewers anyway). However, I'm pretty sure many top journals also use anti-plagiarism software.

I really don't see how double blind review could be abused more than non-blind review.
I am not sure why you read this as "who's fault is this"?

I read this as "let's make this transparent".

From my perspective, who to blame and what to do is a second order question.
It might be equivalent to 1900€ but if you didn't get a raise to match inflation it doesn't really matter...

A good point. Also, i don't think any of our great buildings (i.e empire state building, all those skyscrapers made from steel frames and glass) or technology will survive 400 years into the future. They will think we never made anything. Not only that, but they will dismiss written accounts as fiction. Even our plastic waste should have largely dissolved by then.
Amen. I'm happy being able to join all-hands Teams meetings, mute them and do something I want to with my life. When I was in the office I had to sit there and waste my life. Now I don't have to keep up the pretense of caring.

There's no way I'd want to have to strap a VR headset on to appear in a meeting I don't want to be in, and for it to be obvious when I'm ignoring it.
Ah yeah for IAM the defaults seem sane, true!
The things that I've come across recently is that encryption at rest is usually disabled (
EBS, SQS, S3, SNS, Kinesis, Cloudwatch log groups, Cloudtrail). Some of these have server side encryption and then it's easy to just check that box, other require you to set up KMS keys etc.

Audit logs are in many cases disabled by default (RDS, S3, OpenSearch, ELB).

S3 does not require TLS requests by default.
ECR does not have image scanning enabled by default.

Also new accounts almost all regions enabled and a default VPC in each (and subnets, route tables, security groups, internet gateway, dhcp option set). Unused VPCs are not recommended to keep around but I suppose it makes onboarding easier.
A good point. Also, i don't think any of our great buildings (i.e empire state building, all those skyscrapers made from steel frames and glass) or technological marvels (like jets) will survive 400 years into the future.

You can view the history of of submissions and comments on the wikipedia has cancer article to see how many of the posters have a long history of submissions that clearly indicates they're different people, and not just one single person with a grudge.

I thought they were struggling and donated even though I was struggling at the time.
It feels a bit sordid and dishonest how they go about getting money.
Challenges are for low-rank influencers and people willing to prove to strangers how freaking smart or popular they are, or how fast they can rap.

To be honest, I couldn't care less about that. Knowing that it can be done and how to do it is more than enough for me. Nothing to learn or gain jumping in that vanity wrestling ring.
There's not much difference between installing LSPs in VSCode and adding plugins to Vim using Pathogen, vim-plug, or the built-in plugin manager. It's not as if I wrote Pylint myself, I added "dense-analysis/ale" to my config and I was done.

I think you're coming from a place of strong familiarity with IDEs, but less familiarity with Vim. From my point of view, if you asked me to switch to VSCode, I probably wouldn't ever be as productive as I am now. This isn't because I was forced to spend hundreds of hours configuring--I was one of those people with a 5 line .vimrc for years--rather, it's because I have the ability to conform Vim to my way of thinking and working.

Some people do go ham with their configs, and it's super cool that that's possible (something you can't really do with IDEs). But I think most people probably install a few plugins/language servers, set a few variables for modelines or whatever, and they're good.

You don't think house prices go up without wages going up?

OK, but I'm originally from California and was there just a couple months ago. Same story at starbucks there: cameras on the ceiling, camera phones in tons of peoples' hands.

Sorry if you don't like it, but smartphones are everywhere now, and that's not gonna change. You might feel like sitting alone wearing a headset is somehow fundamentally different than sitting alone using a smartphone, but it really isn't. It is precisely the same in all respects that matter — you just aren't used to it yet.

However, we might be talking about a different kind of "coffee shop". I'm talking about corporate coffee shops like starbucks. They mainly offer industrial coffee and food, wifi, and a place to work, while you are in between things or in transit. I haven't been to Europe since before COVID ,but IIRC it was already pretty much the same there, too, even three years ago. I saw hundreds of people using iPhones, and pretty sure I didn't see anybody get asked to put it down.

I've used Ubuntu as my main desktop OS for 9 years and recent changes make me want to leave. So many things just... broke. Doing a screen recording with mic audio is a huge pain in the ass; all the old tools don't work. When I try to open a file from a program (Firefox, whatever - with "File -> Open" I get a notification that "X(1) is ready" and have to alt-tab to it instead of having it be brought to front and getting focus. And for... what?
I believe the calculator app as snap was only launched for testing. But yeah, I've left Ubuntu and the Linux desktop altogether over too many crap: the entire point of a Linux distro is to provide a coherent set of dependencies; browsers delivered as snaps are ok for web site testing, but a declaration of bankruptcy of a distro for a component as important as the primary browser; can't even save pages! Add shenanigans such as gnome 3+ and wayland which are for apps after all, but without any new end-user apps developed for over a decade now just serve to make life difficult for the extant desktop app developers on Linux. I'm treating the Linux desktop now as a canned development system with kindof qa'd productivity apps such as Teams needed for customer projects, much like I used Windows VMs many years ago.

Asus Zephyr G14 with AMD insides. Could be that they are indeed overclocking it for some reason. I didn't seem to get it to be 100% stable even with removing some boosts et al.

But that doesn't matter. On Linux I don't have to tweak anything, it just works. Which is amusing.
Sorry, but there are several things problematic about that study, if your description is accurate.

Just one of the issues is the specific perception regarding that particular sport (basketball) and relative perceptions between sex differentiated similar sports (men’s and women’s basketball are not the same sport, albeit similar). A sport should have been chosen where there are as few differentiating perceptions as possible, which is nearly impossible, because men are inherently more competent at sport due to physiological realities. It bakes in a bias towards men, which is what you likely actually confirmed with the study you described.

Introducing sports alone essentially corrupted that research and likely biased the responses for relative innate competency of males in sports.

For example, ignoring its own challenges, what could have been done, is show video of a relatively broadly positively evaluated sport (not basketball), an activity that is also relatively broadly and positively evaluated female clustered competencies, e.g., effective child rearing, communicating effectively, conflict resolution, creative outputs, or even beauty pageants, etc., along with the inverse, i.e., poor performance of men in the same sport and poor performance of women in whatever is chosen, e.g., screaming and yelling at poorly behaved children.

It is in the past and by no means are or were you the only one who has long engaged in this type of poorly executed “research” that has merely been confirming researcher biases and often, thereby immensely damaging society, but maybe my illustration of a few of the several issues with what you described, will cause some changes in thinking.

There is a real hidden epidemic of not only single order thinking, but what really should be called negative order thinking in research, where research is not only not finding the truth, but rather even doing damage through confidence in false findings.

I say these things with an expensive relevant background, in the trenches of bad and … frankly … destructive research, if you will.
