They could fit 4 USB-C, or 6 MicroSD, or 12 headphone jacks!

But none of that really matters. The elegance of the original model is that you get 4x Thunderbolt 4-capable ports that can run at full-speed and easily interface with any standard USB device. Sure you could add more ports, but you're just diluting the speed of the interface and adding more steps between your device and the laptop's IO controller.

Yes, those are quite different. But you also can’t pipe lossy compression data willy-nilly without compounding data loss, so it’s hard to imagine an alternative with unix-style tools.

The difference may also stem from those being application-focused rather than command line, so they don’t have a burden of maintaining legacy applications forever.

This is more or less consciously what we ended up doing in remote-first companies I've worked at. Work remotely, but gather twice a year for at least a week to reflect, bond and gather/develop the ideas we'd take into the next interval. At one of them we did this for close to a decade, with 20-30 people living all over the planet. I'd say overall this works, and certainly has generated a string of fond memories ("do you remember the one when we came up with ...") for many involved as well. The point of coming together is not so much to get intense work done, and more to discuss and make plans and see what happens.

It's also how we roll in the KDE open source community with the annual conf and the irregular sprints and project-specific gatherings.

At my current company, we were 200 in a building designed for 250 at the start of the pandemic - and now we're up to 800 people, still with the same building. We effectively ended up remote-first by logistical necessity, but we use the office for workshops and some cross-functional meetings (we're also building a large new campus for thousands, though).

I live in a metro that has legalized weed. Since legalization it's all I smell when I go into the city. It feels like every other car I am behind reeks of weed. The corners of stores reek of weed. The parks reek of weed. I can't even go see a show without smelling it.

We managed to ban smoking from just about everywhere except for designated zones far away from traffic. We haven't done the same thing for weed. All of that sick tax money praying on addicts and hype is just too powerful. The smell is nauseating and I shouldn't have to wear PPE to go to a park.
Unrelated but could also be interesting to know for those who use vpn + internet-sharing/wifi-hotspot that if you turn on vpn on your android (maybe ios too?) and connect another device like a laptop to you mobile phone that traffic from you laptop will not go through the VPN, but directly thru the cellular network. So that traffic will see your real ip.

VICE did an article on fentanyl production. Legal weed in the states cut into the Mexican cartels' weed marketshare, so they reduced their imports and pivoted into fentanyl which has 1/100th the cost to produce as heroin and is more addictive. They also increased their kidnapping and extortion rackets.

Theoretically yes, in practice no. IPV6 devices are reachable, however many routers by default configure firewalls to block incoming traffic.
> so an overflowing index variable panics anyway.

Unless it overflows all the way to a valid index. Which might lead to unexpected results if the code does not expect to be using a smaller index (for instance, a code trying to access index i+2 might not be expecting it to suddenly access indexes 0 or 1).
It's not enough to make the world better or be happier, a lot of people also want acclaim and recognition. Why do so many people apply to Ivy League schools when 50-100 ranking schools can also provide a good education? Status is necessarily scarce.

It seems you're suggesting making CDR into an O(N) operation. So for example ordinary list processing algorithms that take O(N) will now be O(N^2).

Anyway, these kind of weird arguments from people who don't get it have been proposed and shot down a million times before, and I'm not sure there's any value reiterating. I suggest anyone interested in Lisp (or any programming language, really) ignore weird HN critiques and just read a book, like the one linked here.
I'm struggling to follow what immigration has to do with discrimination against US-born individuals. Is the connection because, without the broader pool of applicants available through visa programs, companies would be forced to hire an increased amount of US-born people who wouldn't otherwise have been hired, some of whom would have been potentially not hired due to discrimination? If anything, my discrimination meter would go in the other direction, that when a company explicitly doesn't sponsor any visas, they would be discriminating against non-US-born individuals.

> You take images hopefully to keep, and wanting to do that with unknown film to save $5 and see what comes out, is... exciting?

Yeah, part of the fun of shooting with film really is not knowing what you caught until later. Expired film can increase the odds that something comes out wrong, but personally I only use it for toy camera photography where the worse something comes out the better it sometimes is and I expect a lot of what I shot won't be worth keeping.
If people want to be bombarded by ads while watching low quality streams they will use pirate streams and save $6.99 a month and get a bigger library. At least the pirate streams have the common courtesy to not show you ads for penis enlargement pills during the actual show. What is the target market for this?

You also can't design shows that work with ads and work without ads at the same time. The writers have to write interruptions into the script, like cliffhangers right before the ad break like they used to do, or they have to assume a continual run of the program. Since the latter is now the norm, the ad breaks will inevitably be horribly timed interruptions so bad that it's an insult to charge a monthly sub on top.

I've been using a Framework 11th gen for work since I think May with Fedora (currently using Fedora 37 beta).
For context, half of the time I use my laptop for meetings and video calls, the other half it sits on a stand plugged via USB-C to a LG 4K monitor where I've plugged my keyboard and mouse (it also charges my laptop).

The two major downsides of this device in my opinion:
- the battery life is terrible. If I'm on a video call not plugged in the battery lasts 2h at most and doing basic work (writing on Notion, using Slack, etc) it's at most 5h. Compared to my coworkers with M1 laptops it's just terrible.
- the CPU and device gets way too hot without even doing much. I can't recommend a Framework laptop if you intend to type on it, I can't see myself using it to work without an external keyboard. Also, when I'm on a video call the CPU fan is spinning fast which is annoying.

For video calls I'm usually plugging a Logitech thing via USB-C which acts as a webcam, a microphone and an external monitor (which is a TV for me). This works surprisingly well.
Sometimes I use a simple USB-A microphone and my laptop webcam, which also works.
Right now with Fedora 37 beta I can't use my bluetooth headphones because something crashes with pipewire.

When the laptop is plugged into the LG monitor everything works fine and it's basically a workstation at this point. It's fast enough for what I do which is Go and Java mainly (I have a 1165G7, 32G of RAM and 1TB of SSD).

One annoying thing with an external monitor is that _something_ causes Gnome to move my windows to random workspaces when I unlock Gnome. I have no idea why; it doesn't happen when I'm not plugged in.

As a disclaimer I'll say I'm not familiar with Maslow aside from the article you attached.

> The bottom 1 or 2 rungs are the hardest to reach.

I'm all for helping people reach the bottom two rungs through targeted spending. UBI is indiscriminate, if our goal is the bottom two rungs specifically why not target the spending for those instead of just giving free money?

> Sure, some people choose to rot at the level they're at, but most people want to have ALL their needs met, and will keep climbing.

I don't agree with this. Apparently (according to the article) Maslow based his theory off of people like Einstein or Spinoza. People like this are the exception, not the rule. The goal is to find these people and give them the opportunity to grow. Throwing money at people indiscriminately is an inefficient way of solving this problem

> You are absolutely right that the free-rider effect exists. But based on my own life experiences at least, I think the free riders would be outnumbered by the climbers by quite a margin. What's your experience here?

My experience is that most people aren't climbers. If you're fortunate enough to be surrounded only by climbers and no one else, you're a lucky person.

From the standpoint of personal development, the world can only have so many people like Einstein or Spinoza. The solution to this isn't throwing money at everyone, the solution (imo) is building up a more effective public education system* so that exceptional people are given the opportunity to grow to their fullest potential regardless of socioeconomic status.

*edit: I'll add that there's a lot of unexplored territory here and not enough experimentation. I think that something like online education (think khan academy) offers an inexpensive and scalable method of disseminating knowledge. The Internet has helped here. But only so many people will take advantage of the opportunities given. Instead of throwing money at people indiscriminately, why not pay people to take online classes and get certifications (and have a way of testing in person that prevents cheating)? This way the money has strings attached and we know that the spending will lead to a more educated populace

That's one heck of a stretch, essentially anti-American propaganda.

The US was one of a dozen countries which supported Syrian citizens standing up for human rights against a murderous dictator's violent suppression of the Arab Spring. The pro-freedom Syrians would likely have been successful with less violence if not for Russian backing of the Assad regime.

Granted, without US support the rebels would have just been rounded up and killed by Assad without the conflict really reaching the point of civil war, so if you squint at it enough, ya you can kinda see that technically some of the displaced people wouldn't be displaced, they'd just still be living a terrible oppressed life under Assad.
And, to add to this, we need to find and nurture these minds so they don't get bored and can grow at their natural speed.

In vitro neurons learn and exhibit sentience when embodied in a simulated game-world - https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(22)00806-6

> The researchers, who believe the culture is too primitive to be conscious..

I wonder at what point do we draw the line, if any, to say organoids cultured from human brain cells over a certain size and capability is unethical to keep in a dish?

They say these neurons "exhibit sentience" in the paper's title, but at the same time believe they're "too primitive to be conscious". How advanced does it need to grow to have experience and interiority, to have feelings and thoughts? And how would we know if it's simply "mechanical" processes with no sentience or consciousness?

I don't lean one way or the other, just curious about the ethical considerations. In a way, it might be similar to experimenting with slime moulds or plants, that it's acceptable because their consciousness is primitive or non-existent, as far as we can tell.
