This. These things tend to be incredibly well built. Not indestructible (Unless you get say, a 7D), but people rely on them for their livelihood and they're built as such.
I got the same Streacom DB4, with a fast processor, and Ubuntu. It is wonderful to have a system running at full speed for days on all cores, and no sound. None. No fans. And it looks good, first PC I ever kept on my desk.
Running on reduced power is not even close to hard, what with the powerful monstrosities our modern systems are. The only really tricky bit is to not try to push too much stuff through the graphics pipelines (higher res graphics is effectively O(n^2) as resolution increases), or use code that gets too clever spending lots of CPU for marginal stuff like pretty animations or something. An RPi4 is comfortably more powerful than anything I had prior to 2010, and if you've got decent solid state storage on it you could argue even past that.

It really ought to be snappy and very effective, for everything except maybe the web browser, and that's more the fault of bloated web sites than the computer or the browser in my opinion. This ought to be nothing special, just what people expect.
..that and 'it looks like a war zone' analogy after every storm.

Unless you have actually been in an active war zone, you probably shouldn't use that particular analogy either.

That sounds like an interesting book, I will have to check it out.

I didn't mean to suggest that a single skill guild is sufficient for any single person.

I believe the answer is somewhere in the middle of where we are now, groupings like subreddits, and what you're talking about.

Something where participation takes real effort, but in a way that complements other guilds such that members can "cross-pollinate" and grow as an individual opposed to growing into a mold.
We wouldn't need an app store or any kind of walled garden if the operating system were actually designed with proper security in mind. As it is, apps need to run with too many privileges which is why filtering out spam and dangerous apps from a store is a "value-add".
Thought this was an interesting approach, rather than the more well-known `LISTEN`/`NOTIFY` pub/sub mechanism!
You might have a look at Java's JMX and how it integrates with things like Spring, Tomcat, etc. It's pretty close to what you're describing, where you could have runtime configurable dynamic behavior and a framework to manage it.
Ask HN: What is Elon Musk's strategy in buying Twitter?
Lot of Silicon Valley bigwigs, including Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, have heavily invested in cryptocurrency.

Will there be some cryptocurrency integration with Twitter? That could give cryptocurrency some sort of legitimacy because lot of politicians and government organisations use Twitter as a means of communication.
My previous DSLR was a Pentax K30. It started to malfunction (about 5 years into ownership).

Guess where? The physical aperture actuator. They're supposed to work for hundreds of thousands of uses, but this one got maybe 20,000 before it began to stick.

https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/the-dreaded-k30-apert...

I don't worry about the mirrorless camera electronics so much, and even most digital SLRs are quite reliable (even the replacement Pentax K3-II has been flawless). This was a pretty remarkable failure because it stands in contrast to the typical reliability of digital SLRs.
"The exact origin of the stew is disputed. The states of Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia all claim its birth, with Brunswick County in Virginia and the city of Brunswick in Georgia both claiming it was developed there. It may have originated earlier in some form in the city of Braunschweig (English: Brunswick) in the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg in today's northern Germany."

Also a Brunswick County in coastal NC.

FreeCodeCamp Turns 8 Yrs Old: Data Science Courses and University Degrees Update

You're absolutely right. I was waiting to see what the big misunderstanding was about RISC, and I actually rolled my eyes when I saw _horizontal microcode_ bolded. It's an implementation detail.
Linux is just “almost” there.

I could probably use it for my daily programming environment - Elixir, PostgreSQL, Vim, Firefox.

But then my job takes a turn… creative. Document manipulation, convert multiple Images into a PDF, easy screenshots and then make a thumbnail with that. Sign docs with my signature. Access to apps like Pixemator. Share files easily. Dropbox. It’s just easier and more productive.

It’s hard to not have Mac Preview when you need it.

And that’s why I can’t finally switch over to Linux.

An no, Gimp is not an alternative. Dropbox alternatives are just more difficult to use. Just so many little things are missing.

To be fair, windows does not have a tool like Preview and that’s why I can’t use windows either.

This is not even close to true unless you’re going to rescope your comment to focus on a few very specific chokepoints. There’s tons of unused mainline capacity because years of crew efficiency improvements mean the railroads are running fewer longer trains.

More importantly, however, climate change means that we can’t continue to ignore externalities. Redirecting road expansion projects into rail construction would be necessary even if it wasn’t cheaper.
The calories burned during the exercise matter less than the higher metabolism resulting from having more muscle mass. Especially if we're talking about strength and hypertrophy exercise and not just cardio.
Not surprised. The amount of paperwork I had to fill out just as a tourist in India already boggled my mind. I had to fill out basically the same information three times over just between the airport and the hotel.
If Elon is true to his word, then twitter will be the best social platform to discuss topics in realtime and listen to different points of view and make our own conclusions.

None one can say we have that right now. Facebook, instagram, TikTok are left wing. Truth social, gettr, etc... Are right wing. Where's the "neutral", centric platform? There's none. Twitter could become this platform.

I'm not in Truth social but I won't consume any left wing platform either. Twitter is the closest thing to "centric" pov and it's still heavily skewed to left ideologies.

The main issue here is that the climate is soo polarized that you can't even discuss anything because if you don't agree 100% with me then you become my enemy. This is one of the reasons on why Hitler rose to power. Don't listen to what the other side is saying even if what they are saying make some sort of sense. They are wrong and they are destroying the world.

I,for once, want to believe twitter can be saved and dialogue can come back.
Yeah. "Production", implying a high standard of professional quality using a base of uncompressed 4K or 8K might be a bad idea, sure, or trying to run a live event with half-a-dozen input streams and live streaming back out to the internet.

But plenty of uses of video editing would still be perfectly possible on an RPi4. It might be noticeably faster on a "real" desktop, but it would be perfectly doable, especially if you were working in less than 1080P for some reason, like a DVD source video.
I got a stand from Flio to help with that a few years ago [1]. It folds up into a thin laptop-sized rectangle, so it's easy to take with me.

Looks like the certificate on their site expired though, so I've no idea whether they're still in business.

you could do a lot of things to reduce fan noise in your computer, but I appreciate this perspective. We constantly over-estimate how powerful a machine we need (probably because of the bad software we run) and underestimate how versatile and powerful a small SBC can be.
The origin is disputed but I can confidently say this: I have seen Brunswick Stew on restaurant menus a lot more in Georgia than in Virginia or the Carolines. That's anecdata at its finest.
> maxing out all cores
This happened to me in Mumbai several years ago. I had thankfully been forewarned, but there were military police checking boarding passes for entering passengers outside the airport, and no one without a paper boarding pass + appropriate government ID was allowed into the terminal. This was right up there with the "requirement" that business travelers in India provide a physical business card to the hotel when checking in. I haven't been a in few years, so hopefully that's at least no longer the case.
(n)vim would work a real treat on a pi. Building locally might be tricky depending on the codebase, but it's not entirely unreasonable to expect to have a full fledged IDE on a pi (except Android development, lol)
It's kind of a lost cause when the government could just directly compromise Apple itself though? Maybe they are also fine with helping their own country's cyberwar abilities.
Hi , how do you get hired via Remote ? All I can see is services to hire for employers.
Perun has been making some of the best videos on Youtube since the start of the Ukraine invasion. Mostly on how military procurement works. It sounds like a dull topic, but when you start to understand the intricacies and the stakes involves it becomes fascinating. Absolutely recommend this channel.

The more direct and transparent they are, the easier it would be for spammers to figure out how to game the rules.
Great read but am sad that the last 'perfect' simulation doesn't have a simulation render in real time (snapshots at fixed intervals such as 1/60 of a second) so that we can marvel its beauty without the slowness of the algorithm.
It doesn't have to be accurate. Anything close is better than black.

Remember that all science, mathematics, education, theology comes from understanding an idea. So ideas are valuable to society. If you think they're worthless, then I don't want your ideas, I want people in academia and industry to have good ideas and push society forward. Science, mathematics, theories, research, theology all are built on the shoulders of giants, with ideas that provide foundations of truth, wisdom and understanding to push society forward. It's not always the person that has the ideas that puts the idea into execution.

The more ideas you have and the more you work on them the more you grow as a person. I also work on building software to put my ideas to the test.

I journal/blog all my computer and technology related ideas on GitHub out in the open.

I have published 700+ ideas on GitHub. I create a repository called "ideas" then I journal 100-400 ideas using markdown and then create a new repository and repeat. They're all in markdown and written as simple numbered markdown headings and a few one paragraph to a page of notes. They should be enough to understand the idea and do something with it. I reread my ideas repeatedly and I uncover new ideas from my existing ideas. Ideas should be built on and improved precept by precept.

For reference, they're about software design, software architecture, parallelism, multithreading, efficiency, growth, futurism, progress.

That said, Emacs and Vim run fine on a Pi. :)
Yeah I bought a used Lenovo M720q NUC style 6 core i5-8400T 16Gb Ram 512Gb NVMe machine for less than a new Pi 4 8Gb. With a windows 10 pro license. Makes one hell of a home server.
Generally no, it doesn't matter if you're just displaying on (mostly uncalibrated) screens, or printing in CMYK on normal paper stock. It gets more interesting if you're producing things like brochures, in which you care about the texture and technique used to apply particular areas as well as the colour itself. Thing about things like the glossy lettering on a brochure which can't be represented as a set of four colours.
I use both a NUC Debian server and an 8GB Rpi. I've been pleasantly surprised how much day-to-day stuff I get done on pi lately.
This is so fascinating to learn.

Here is was just thinking Pantone colours were some fancy standardised names…

Also, TIL “fresnel” is the name for that colour/pattern!
That seems too convoluted. Why not just believe Musk: he claims that almost all moderation is censorship. I've got to give him credit if he's bought Twitter to cut moderation. He's put his money where his mouth is, and he's going to pay for everyone else's free speech.

> I don't find exercise very helpful. They burn too little calories compared to the effort.

Exercise help in much broader ways than just the amount of calories burned on the spot. Take weight lifting for examples, it increases your lean mass, which means it increases your metabolic rate, which means you can eat more and not gain fat. You also spend more calories on your resting days to rebuild your muscles, &c. exercising also tend to curb appetite

> Implying that software will somehow "not be made" without for-profit corporations employing programmers for peanuts is an old and tired argument, proven false by the very existence and triumph of the GNU system over most commercial systems.

I'm saying that certain classes of open source software won't be created, and you're building a straw man to pretend I'm saying that no open source software will be created. Your argument here seems disingenuous.
Which ideologists are those?
My dude, Richard Spencer is still on Twitter and can post!

Also, there's been a ton of Truly Harmful stuff the Blue Check brigade has posted over the years that I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for hosting.

I'd also be careful about banning whole countries at once, Iranians/Russians != the Iranian/Russian state, though apologia/misinformation around atrocities should still eat the banhammer.

Personally, I've seen a lot better communities around smaller places like Discords/forums, so to make money I'd encourage people to group their follows into circles, like "Gamedev" or "Central/Eastern Europe foreign policy" or whatever else you're interested in, so you can be better insulated from the ragebait of the day unless you go looking for it.

> We're talking about a country where a chancellor that pushed for building a gas pipeline from a foreign country went straight to the board of the foreign company running that pipeline after ending his term as chancellor.

Yeah, and long after that they decided to build a second pipeline (Nord Stream 2).

And before that, they've been received the same gas from the same foreign company over the ex-SU Ukrainian pipelines.

And five years later we will likely see Turkish pipelines (still bearing Russian gas) prolonged to Hungary, from where it will reach Germany once again.

And that foreign company isn't even running those Nord Stream pipelines - they were largely German, due to legislations requiring separation of the pipeline operator and the supplier.

Don't underestimate how much Germany had profited from all the cheap gas and infrastructure investments from the said foreign country, up until they managed to loose it all just for the sake of political appearance and no real substantial win.

I wonder if we would some day see Scholz in some American LNG company for which the nation now has to pay order of magnitude more, than it ever paid to Russia.

The spec is fairly comprehensive. It's a lightweight markup language like Markdown. It has decent editor support.
> Free speech must include the things people do not want you to say.
Says who? I understand the core principles of absolute free speech. I just don't agree. This is a very absolutist (and americano-centered) view of what liberties encompass.

Same goes for political activity. Some political organizations should be prohibited. And I dont see any issue knowing islamists or skinheads are excluded from parliement and prosecuted after intimidating opposition through violence.

Besides keep in mind, for most of those things, the legal hurdles are very high. Your voting rights cant be stripped away for small offenses.
So India has a process for turning agricultural land to manufacturing land. Compare that to Europe, where such endeavours are often impossible completely (if you are a landowner), and quite easy (if you are a local government). We've had this guy [1] protest on TV lately. Sums it up well.

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mnB5Q5Hay4 ... translated subtitles are decent. Money shot: "It's like that: We can't all sit with a MacBook in Berlin in a cafe, sipping on a chai latte and programming the tenth dating app. Sometimes, someone has to work with their hands."
It's also amusing given that Microsoft teams has at least limited support for markdown. Depending on how you define a markdown user, it may be a that the majority of people typing markdown have never written a line of code but have discovered the convenience of markdown from being power users of Microsoft teams.
When I opened the page I thought the right one looked "better" to me, but I didn't think it was the right one, I then saw the labels incorrect and correct.

I think the reason that the correct one looks correct is because that is busier on the top which, if you look at the tops first the busier more complicated one gives a feeling of more energy.
Number one the OS is still secure. Number two is doesn't involve the NAT.
I kind of agree there is no hard definition because what's "complex" and "reduced" are subjective things. The venerable 6502 was called "RISC before it was cool" and I have to agree its minimalistic ISA made it incredibly capable (and fast, clock for clock) compared to its more ambitious contemporaries such as the Intel 8080/8085, the Motorola 6809, and its arch-nemesis, the Z-80.
> No, no you absolutely don't. Almost no one uses a WYSIWYG for markdown. That would completely negate the point.

Afaik GitHub and Stackoverflow use markdown WYSIWYG editors. That'd cover a big chunk of users.
I think this is a key point. Not just for weight control but for so many things.

It is agonizingly simple to destroy near constant mindfulness with a few moments of mindlessness.
Not any longer.
I'm sure they've been told a million times not to exaggerate.
Yeah I wish they'd shown both and hidden which was correct and incorrect at first.

Also if it's adhesive it will fail eventually won't it, they'd need to stick it back anyway I guess flip it over then
Perhaps that's the point. Religion is universal across human cultures, it must serve some, as yet unknown, evolutionary purpose to be so universally widespread. I doubt that historical purpose was higher birth rates, but it certainly is now. Since it seems to grant such a huge advantage to evolutionary fitness, it will thrive, even dominate.

I agree completely. But don't blame the lawyers -- that's like blaming guns for the war in Ukraine. Blame the companies that lobby for the laws and treaties that set these kinds of IP protection, and then use those laws to come after people who actually try to create something.
Because, watching twitter, I see many people trying AI everywhere. One person used it to make an insensitive tribute to an artist. Another guy is badly reimagining pixelated sprites from retro games into raster renditions of the subject matter. Another is using it to process blender render frames to create foam on water.

Not all problems are solved by AI. All these things are nifty, but I wouldn't have called any of them a potential commercial success.
Then every system must be 100% insecure.
I suggest not focusing on what calories it appears the exercise is burning. My experience is that something else is occurring which helps to lose weight and keep it off - I suspect something to do with the microbiome and increasing basal metabolic rate to feed an exercise-trained microbiome (more active? Different makeup for sure).

I struggled for years to get my weight down. Then just walking every day to ensure I was at 10,000 steps managed to move the needle in a meaningful way. Over a few years that turned into running a few times a week, which turned into running daily. In the beginning I had already been counting calories and the calories I was burning walking whatever it took to get from my normal amount to 10k (varied each day) was not enough to justify the weight being lost when compared to calories consumed. It should have been much slower.

It is funny because it is the exact opposite of what you should do if you want to stop corruption.

Deregulation is the best cure for corruption, because it makes the gatekeepers obsolete. There would be no reason to bribe them because you don't need their approval in the first place.
True, the point is that they are taking multiple paths to make macOS/iOS more secure and (we already discussed this to death), more micro-kernel like, even if not pure.

A kernel with Apple only code, is more stable and secure than letting everyone to the party.

Every little piece of the puzzle helps.
I recently bought an Android TV Box (Quad-core, 4GB of RAM) just to see if I could use it as a remote terminal.

I turns out to be quite practical and fast. The only gotcha is that DNS doesn't work on the VPN and I have to log on to my company computer via its IP.

My feeling is that any little quad-core SBC with 8GB of RAM would be quite adequate for remote work and maybe most of my home needs.
This is the exact same kind of moralistic thinking that created the opioid crisis. 40% of adults in the US are obese. Not overweight, obese.[0] Not to mention, that study was conducted before the pandemic, it would be interesting to see where the figures are now. At what percentage of aggregate obesity would you consider the issue to no longer be about self-control? And what makes you think we aren't going to hit that figure in the future?

Products are being developed to intentionally surpass our ability to self-regulate, whether they be food, medication, etc. People get paid really good money to sit in labs and figure out how to make their product more addictive, and we're just expected to just be able to say "no" because free will?
