I never use csh, the first step when I install FreeBSD is to install bash.

Most of the programs that I use on FreeBSD come from ports, not from the base system (they are various networking applications like squid or samba or nginx), even if I use some functions from the base system, e.g. firewall/NAT/routing, some times the NFS server.

Nevertheless, I did not have problems with inconsistencies in the ports collection, and that includes Firefox (which I use some times together with vncserver, so I can use it remotely even if I do not normally install the X11 server on FreeBSD).

It is true however that on FreeBSD I have used only seldom programs with GUI interfaces, Firefox being an exception to that, and those are usually among the programs more likely to be broken by updates on Linux systems.

> i don’t think anyone doubts that when the commute is reasonable and office perks good it’s better to be in an office.

This is manager fantasy. You're not going to find enough talent to fill an office with a 'reasonable' commute in my city. Its silly to hire based on commute time, so inevitably any office situation like this will have a bell curve of commute times, with some being 1+ hour each way - a crazy waste of productivity.
It's actually not a big problem in many cases. If you need to physically interact with something that's N number of miles away from you then yes it could be an issue.
My experience having used Zipcar for 7+ years is that if you hold the card up to the reader for ~15 seconds, it unlocks even in areas with no connection.
This is a very good point! I would just like to add, though, that teaching does not have to be one of your "core competencies" to consider homeschooling. Many folks like in places with terrible public schools, but also cannot afford to send their children to private school. As a friend recently remarked to me: to be successful in homeschooling, you do not have to provide a perfect education. As long as it is better than the alternative, it makes sense to have the option on the table.

(Of course, deployment of energy and resources must also be considered. Homeschooling is a TON of effort and might not be worth it for only marginal gains...)

Funny enough, in French its full name is "Le Graphics Interchange Format"[^1]

Except the examples given of IA are so broad as to eliminate the distinction between IA and STO. Knowing a value that is in a space larger than 2^64 possibilities is qualitatively different than knowning something in a space of only millions of possibilities. The real difference with como is that it's a cat-and-mouse game (or Red Queens race as another commenter said).

It's more like being able to teleport all the keys in all the houses from under the doormat to under a rock in the garden once you notice thieves are checking the doormat. This would, in fact, appreciably increase house security on average, while still being STO.
How’s that mental health tax on the rich doing so far, uh? Yeah, I’m talking to California legislators and governor.

That's been the case for a long time. The "basic" iPad line has always only ever supported first-gen, it's never supported second-gen. You've had to explain this to grandma for years now.

They really would have done better to brand them "Pencil" and "Pencil Pro", rather than 1st/2nd gen.

There's a good reason for it though -- when schools etc. have all invested in buying tons of Pencils, they don't want to have to toss them for a new iPad. At $99 they ain't cheap.

If I created the impression that this invasion was a smart thing, I didn't intend to do that. It's more: Russia is up the creek without a paddle and wanted to do something, on the bizarre but common logic of 'well, doing _something_ is better than _nothing_". Or similarly atrociously reasoned bullpuckey such as 'we have to have a bufferstate because otherwise NATO will attack us. Us, being a state with ICBMs".

> That said if they made a cheaper version with a 12.9" screen I would have bought that instead. I don't do anything that needs a desktop class processor.

This right here. I literally only buy them for the screen size, and because Android tablets are... really bad and largely have much worse (for my purposes) software available, even if I could find one in that size.

I never really push the processor or graphics capabilities.

The screen size is incredible for: PDF reading, drawing and art generally, a little video editing maybe, sheet music display and other music purposes, comic book reading, as a portable second screen for a Macbook (it's a very similar size to a 13" Macbook screen), portable SSH terminal, remote desktop, and yeah, watching Netflix or whatever.

But I could easily get by with the brains of a much lower-end model. However, I expect the larger, higher-quality (for faster refresh for drawing and such) screen is a big chunk of their cost to manufacture it, so I'm not sure how much cheaper such a thing would really be.

I truly don't even know what I might do with one that'd really use all that horsepower. Gaming I guess? But I don't like my games vanishing or breaking when I update an OS, so I don't game on iOS very much. Pinball and (now that it's been re-released, finally) Angry Birds. That's about it.
Hilarious. SD card support in phones and tablets is another requirement for me, and yet another reason why I won't buy Apple products in those categories. Built-in storage is expensive and anemic. SD cards are especially appropriate for photo and music storage, since they're read-heavy workloads and convenient to transfer between devices when you want to move the data around.

I don't care what anybody says: bluetooth is still trash:

- I routinely block bluetooth signals with just my body, for instance when I exercise with my phone in my pocket.

- Bluetooth headphones live on borrowed time since batteries are not repairable in most over-ear models, much less buds.

- I don't want to manage another set of batteries.

- Bluetooth audio suffers from an order of magnitude greater latency than wired audio.

- Bluetooth audio is noticeably worse quality, and codec compatibility is a mess between devices.

- Using bluetooth for audio input and output simultaneously inevitably results in garbage quality for both. Just ask any of my coworkers in an audio call where they use AirPods.

Obviously floppy discs are not needed anymore, especially in mobile form factors.

By "USB sticks," I assume you're referring to USB-A ports, and guess what: I still have a ton of USB-A devices, and I'm not about to generate pounds of ewaste by throwing out the devices and/or cables. That port is going to be useful for years still. But you bring up a good point: why can't we at least have two USB-C ports on the iPad Pro? Wouldn't it be useful to charge and use a peripheral sometimes?

People play games and watch videos all the time on iPads. The aux jack is useful. There's almost certainly enough free space in the chassis to fit the port. It's great that you're utterly in love with bluetooth and you can't imagine using anything else, but it really sucks for everyone else that we don't even have an option any more.

> 1) We need chip manufacturing to be nationalized in the USA - if it's that important to national security we don't need to leave it in the hands of private industry

I generally agree with you that countries should have control over strategic industries (e.g., oil), but I'm not sure if nationalisation is the way to go.

I feel like that serves more to scare off investors than anything else. The way the US is going about it feels more correct to me: give fiscal and financial incentives for these strategic resources to be built and managed inside the country, while also removing incentives for too many exports
Illinois minimum wage is 11$/hour on their website, though I have also seen 12$ listed elsewhere. https://www.illinois.gov/services/service.find-minimum-wage-...

So 11 * 40 * 52 / 12 = 1906$/month + SS.

Indeed, I've run some (decently sized) trials with Spatial and Arthur at my workplace (They're third party VR meeting programs) and I've been really impressed.

Yes, the characters are cartoony, though they both have a way to make a pretty decent avatar from a mugshot (not cartoony - it's photobased but pretty lowres, pretty nice though considered it's based on only 1 photo).

But having an actual meeting in VR the cartoonism fades away quickly as you start actually collaborating. Being able to see people move and point helps a lot, and if you're speaking about manufactured products you can show them in 3D, move them around etc.

After 2 hours taking the headset off it feels weird suddenly finding myself at home. It really feels like I was somewhere else with others. This feeling is hard to convey to someone who has never tried it. All they see is a picture with some cartoony characters.

I really think this tech will be instrumental in improving interaction in online meetings, and also reducing reliance on intercontinental travel for real meetings (which really needs to happen for climate reasons). It doesn't feel as exhausting as a Teams meeting where you just have a mosaic of bored faces that nobody actually looks at.

And that's with the tech in this state of infancy. It's pretty promising already as it is. I'm not surprised Meta but also Microsoft are betting on this.

At the same time, you should consider possible shenanigans that your neighbors may get up to.

You're right, much of what I'm struggling with is my own inability to keep up with the rapid pace of change. I'm turning into an old man yelling at clouds, like Grampa Simpson.

Then I project when the answer is just under my nose.

It's good to be reminded from time to time that what we're asking for may already be here, we just need to realign our perception to see it. I truly believe that's what meditation/prayer and manifestation (magical thinking) are all about.
Most benefits of Rust are true, except in some cases it does not allow you to compile an absolutely valid and safe program like here https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/47680 - unfortunately you don't have freedom of code design decisions! I see some possible problems with refactoring, extending logic and functionality, and lots of issues with async code design and readability.

For me, Rust looks like a temporary step before the next language.
> Putin didn't have to invade! If he was truly worried about Russia's economy he could have (and should have) gone about instituting reforms/policies to encourage economic diversification and growth.

Yes, absolutely. Russia, 60m people (or how much is it? More even) notwithstanding, is essentially a petrostate. It was too hard to try to get the population-driven productive elements to compete against the easy resource money.

I mean, Norway is right fucking there. This war is on them, entirely, for failing to prepare for the inevitable day when the natural resources are no longer enough to bankroll the entire state.

But, doing it _now_ is not possible without major political upset, so the major political players, not wanting to be 'upset' out of a window (hey, you live by the sword, you die by the sword, I'm sure the political elite is aware of the usual way to deal with higher ups that need to be lesser higher up: By taking that literally) - start a war.

> The day i can't modify my Mac OS to my liking is the day i stop buying their laptops.

That was my mentality too. For me, the cutoff came when Catalina dropped (and I couldn't run 32-bit libraries, even after modding MacOS). Nix was the last thing keeping my sanity together when I last used MacOS. When they pull the plug on that, it's going to be a sad day...

> I do think there's a market for people who want laptops that have the lockdown of phones. Where less things can go wrong because you can't change a lot.

I agree. That's a software problem though, not a hardware problem. Much like the situation on iPhone, Apple could easily offer a "pro mode" or "developer mode" that offers extended functionality while disabling certain high-security features.
Because they can enter forbearance and just wait
the main beneficiary is Russia's "we don't need the west" policy and Putin's ego. Both far more likely than some minor boost the US economy would get from selling a bit more LNG to Europe, when 90% of it will come from the middle east because it's far closer that the USA (as well as cheaper to get out of the ground).
You are correct that there is not much debate over the short comings of the US system, the debate is over what is the cause of those short coming, and what is the resolution.

I, and many others, believe government regulations is the cause including everything from the tax code that irrevocably links insurance to employment, to regulations that transform "insurance" to prepaid health plans, to medicare massively under paying providers, and about 10000 other things...

The "other side" believes government is the holy grail and will magically fix everything if we just make everything single payer medicaid for all...
>"If we're going to pay you 15% more, how are you going to add 15% more value?"

This quote assumes that the employer refuses to acknowledge the employee adds more value than what their compensation represents.

I'm always of the mind that my value to my employer is 1.5-2x what I'm actually getting paid, at the low end. Asking for more money is simply trying to better negotiate the way I'm compensated for the value I'm already delivering. If my employer fails to recognize that, I've learned no amount of loyalty to the employer or flexibility to try to do more can change that.
Nah, more than one person pays the HOA fee. Ten people paying put it at $20k a month. $4600 a month is not even a quarter of that.
It could be just me, but I find that UI repulsive. I had the (mis)fortune of using CDE back in 2005 on the job working on Solaris, and I remember not liking it back then either; slow and ugly is what I remember; but I didn't mind since I didn't have any strong opinions about the UI/UX back then. I was coming from a Windows development environment, so perhaps that's why CDE felt like a severe downgrade in experience.
> And billions of dollars sent into homeless slush funds for activists and nonprofits with no accountability for how the money was spent.

I'm not claiming that the city spends responsibly, but next month SF will at least vote on a ballot measure which would create an oversight commission for HSH spending and programs, and require audits of services provided. We have an opportunity to improve things.
I don't believe we'll solve those issues anytime soon. But for aliens counting, which I think is itself arguable, it is not really under debate here. There's a vast gap between counting and what mathematics is and encapsulates.

We just had a baby boy and I'm not going to lie, stuff like this has me worried. We were already considering home schooling (we split time between multiple countries and that's not conducive to a normal school schedule) but this is also a good argument for it.

I'd hate for biases in institutional schooling to lead him to hate school and potentially lead to poor life outcomes.

And now that I think about it, there was a massive spread between the grades I was given by teachers and my standardized test results (talking like 30 point difference).
I rear ended someone last week near the end of a ~90 minute commute home (there was unusual traffic but it's still an hour minimum) and it really was the wake up call I needed to remind me why I was so opposed to working in my country's capital. At this point I think I'm ready to quit my developer job and take a 50% pay cut for any desk job with a reasonable commute (no developer jobs open in my country right now as far as I can tell).
That makes sense and should have a smallish effect. But to compensate for such a large and sudden drop in life expectancy wouldn't the survivors need to be exceptionally more healthy than average and live significantly longer? That's surely not going to happen in two years either. So what I would expect is a very slow reversion back to average, with maybe a slight bump above average in ten years or more.
> Higher paid jobs like healthcare workers, no problem.

There most definitely has been a decline in quality of healthcare due to decline in quantity and quality of healthcare workers relative to patients in the recent past.

Even though a job might be higher paid, it does not imply the pay to quality of life at work is sufficiently high to incentivize the desirable amount of labor sellers to pursue it.
