People want to buy food without all the drama that comes with the current alternatives (except, maybe, Greggs?) so, no, until your average sandwich shop/cafe ups their game, there will be no resistance at all.
Quentin Zervaas is the creator of the Streaks habit-tracking app (https://streaksapp.com), which I find to be excellent and extremely well thought-out. I’m not sure if he’s still working independently or has a team.
Docker is very convenient when it comes to maintaining uniformity across different developers machines. Once the boilerplate is done, 'docker compose' will stand up complex projects in a matter of minutes (depending in machine/internet speeds). Every startup that I have worked at uses docker and, honestly, I would question why one wouldn't want to use it.

Most of my work has involved rails or golang. Live debugging of go isn't really a thing. Rails on the other hand is usually done via a gem where you manually type in breakpoints and go from there. Regardless, it all works in containers.

Keep in mind that depending on your OS and docker setup, you can just have your container read files from your local filesystem. So edits are immediately reflected in your container and you don't need to build a new one when making changes. It is pretty flexible.
It's hard to believe that file system incompatibility is still a thing in this day and age. I wish you could just plug a drive into a computer and not worry about which filesystem it's using, whether it be EXT4, APFS, HFS, NTFS, etc. Seems like FAT/ExFAT is still the only option and as someone who uses multiple operating systems, having to worry about filesystems drives me crazy.
>Second, how could these people even rent or own a property without an ID or otherwise function in society? You cannot even get a library card, cash a check, get a bank account, or receive government assistance without an id

They can't. It's a red herring that gets tossed around as an in-group signaling mechanism by those who have never lived near the margin and therefore don't realize how much more often you need to ID yourself when you're "down there" so to speak.
I wonder how many stories like this are waiting to come out from the 2010s, the era that turned the internet into a centralized hellscape that ran on ads and creepy data collection.
Idk about macOS, but the iPod touch was discontinued only a few months before iOS 16 was rolled out, which did not go to the touch.
This sort of "oversensitive" stuff has been going on for decades in the US from most all corners of the political space.

I am curious how you are defining woke here.
> I stand corrected!

Heh
Just in case there wasn't enough anxiety over elections in the USA today.

Excitable people who are eager to see connections are already doing so.
> Ever since India became a nation it has staunchly stood against free-market policies and its popular vote overwhelmingly supports policies of regulation, subsidies and handouts as against privatization.

Much to India's detriment, I might add.
I came across a russian translation of Shahnamah several years ago, that was published in 1950-60s, and it's in rhyming verses unlike most other Western translations that mostly resort to prose approximations.

Amazing experience, I even remember cross-referencing certain passages in Tajik edition to try to get some idea of original rhyming and rhythmic techniques mentioned by the translators (I don't know the language, but since it was written in Cyrillic I could get at least a general idea how it sounds).

For whatever reason I stopped right before the Iskandar (Alexander the G.) parts, have to get back to it someday.
I second your other two points but I think this one is inaccurate:

> * (Nearly) everybody on our planet lives under a government whose fundamental structure and right to power comes from modern (meaning 17th century) political philosophy.

A large number of countries are ruled by dictators and their close supporters. Sometimes they position themselves within the boundaries of a more or less modern ideology but ultimately care only about being the one in command and use that ideology as lipstick. This is a straight continuation of prehistory, not something stemming from 17th century.
Marx never specified how “country-wide implementation” should look like, Marxism-Leninism was the most common one. Escaping capitalism in today's world is impossible because the moment you decide to work on different economic model and distance yourself from IMF you'll sign your death sentence. Big players will never allow that.
Pricing isn’t about “fair”, pricing is about an offer’s utility to the buyer in relation to the financial abilities of the buyer. Anything else will sooner or later fail, and sometimes cause extreme damage while falling.
Show HN: Helios OpenTelemetry Sandbox
Helios leveraged the otel sandbox and plugged it in to the backend Helios already has. The visualization is awesome. excited to show it off.
I got a PhD in 2.5 years (already had a masters), a very fast amount of time, and the advice I always give people is “pick a program with clear deliverables.”

My advisor said that after publishing 3 articles in good journals, I was done. So I was very motivated, had a clear target, and had a more satisfying and quick experience than probably 98% of PhD students.

I looked at programs in more attractive locations and at better rated schools, where they said essentially “you are done when we feel like you are done”. I turned them down and it was a fantastic decision.
What field were you in? I feel like PhDs in fields with a strong job market for R&D (e.g., machine learning, biomedical or chemical engineering) can be worth it. I think, otherwise, it can be really difficult.
Your goals aren't very clear. Your threat model matters a lot to answering the question. What is your threat model?

Your browser alone is probably 10 fold the threat to your privacy the operating system is, and a share of the telemetry is legitimate and very much directly useful for improving the product and responding to incidents.

Any linux distro probably won't hash/index all your files into a voice assistant, won't virus scan, and won't backup to a cloud, which is an immediate privacy and security win.

If you want to engage in the privacy mindset, you must first focus on observability. Specifically you should be thinking about how to set up a proxy/firewall between your daily driver and the raw internet to see what is accessed.

Without observability, you don't know what is doing what no matter what you use. You are forced to trust without understanding, and you wouldn't be able to answer your own question empirically. Without an off machine firewall, you can't prevent the behavior you want to prevent.

For a long time OpenBSD had the reputation for being most secure by default. I don't know if that's still true. Running some type of observability/firewall platform on that would probably be useful. I've never used mitmproxy, but I imagine that would be useful.
>Don’t you normally need an undergrad to start a PhD in the US as well?

Yes, but not a graduate degree.

For comparison, at least in Austria, you need to have finished both a Bachelor of Science (3 years) and a Master of Science (2 years) in order to be able to start a PhD.

That's usually not the case in the USA (and some common law countries), where you only need the equivalent of a Bachelor of Science in order to start the PhD. You then do a small version of the Master of Science in parallel with the PhD.
Replit Attempted to Kill an Open Source Project
Metlo: Open-source API security platform
Yeah, I run Wario Forums as a community for a very specific and somewhat underrated video game series (https://warioforums.com). To answer the questions:

1. I use XenForo. After vBulletin went down the tubes, I discovered XenForo as a replacement, and have found no reason to switch to anything else.

2. Generally, the moderation isn't too much of an issue, since I have a fair few anti spam measures set up on the registration form, including questions specific to the forum topic, plus a dedicated team of moderators and a niche subject matter. The odd troublemaker that gets in will get banned quickly enough anyway.

Maintenance is a little tougher, but the software doesn't get that many updates all things considered, and they've been painless so far.

3. You see, for me monetisation isn't really a priority, so I just have a few ads and a paid membership system, and leave it at that. The site exists because I think it needs to, not because I see it ever becoming a business or self sustaining.

But if you do want to monetise, then it depends how big you expect it to be. Ads pay terribly, especially for community sites (probably because places like Facebook/Twitter/Reddit/etc offer a better deal there), so you're probably going to want a mix of donations and sponsorships if you want to keep the lights on. The former alone is good enough for a small forum or one with a very loyal community, the latter is probably a necessity if you end up needing dedicated servers or cloud services like AWS to keep it online.
10 years out of ~70ish total is a pretty limited window in my eyes. I guess that's all a little subjective. Thanks for the additional information though. I figured there was a little more choice in the 70s.
I thought the same thing for a long time, I found s-expressions very elegant. Then I discovered lambda-calculus, with its scary syntax but based on a process I could understand, text-rewriting. So I had the idea to explore the lambda-calculus using s-expressions and patiently rebuilt booleans, pairs, lists, recursion and beyond a real complete Turing language, for instance:

- http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdawalks

- http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdawalks/?view=lambdacode5

No need for cons, car, cdr and other historical names. We can rebuild everything from scratch, from abstractions and applications. No need for Lisp, Scheme, Common Lisp and other Clojure, even if they remain excellent examples. So in my opinion the Maxwell equations of computation are to be seen more in the lambda-calculus than in LISP and its dialects. We just need to make the syntax a little more human.
Is this just the FS driver, or are there backwards-incompatible changes to the on-disk format when you upgrade? (ie, if I format a disk as APFS on current macOS then try and read it on Catalina, is it still designed to work?)
It should be noted DOSBox uses it's own ZMBV codec for video compression which is lossless, optimized for game graphics and fast to compress in real-time during capture.

By converting to h264 the video is probably compatible with a wider range of devices, but the usual compression artifacts might appear if compression level is high.
That’s why you should always have debug mode enabled. It would have allowed you to fix this issue by sending an email /s

https://www.mit.edu/people/eichin/virus/strategies.html:

“Debugging mode has many features, including the ability to send a mail message with a program as the recipient (i.e. the program would run, with all of its input coming from the body of the message).“

I don’t know why that page follows that with “This is inappropriate” /s
This one is not the full picture of UK generation, however, as Elexon's data only includes generators that are connected to the National Grid.

Many smaller generators, including all(?) UK solar farms, smaller wind farms, W2E plants, etc, are connected to the distribution networks (DSOs), not directly to the National Grid. These can account for a significant percentage of UK generation at times!

Most of the other websites displaying UK generation include additional data sources so that things like solar are accounted for.
One of the reasons I switched away from Macs was their file systems. I simply can’t trust them. The HFS volume storing my Time Machine backups got corrupted so often that eventually I turned them off, because what was the point? I had high hopes for APFS but it turned out to be even worse due to the extra complexity of containers. On the other hand, since switching to Linux I can’t think of a single instance of file system corruption that wasn’t caused by me doing something stupid or a hardware problem. I just don’t have to worry about file systems on a daily basis anymore and I like it that way.
Both articles were citing Russia’s Federal Statistics Service. I agree that you can find pretty much any narrative and most of the news sources are not very objective. However, in my mind, automatic rejection of "the news" is almost the opposite problem, which is at least as big as the false narrative issue. I have no solutions to offer for any of these problems, but maybe we can at least agree that Russian Federal Statistics Service numbers give us a rough estimate.

Trusting your "own empirical evidence", rejecting "the news" is the bubble that I have been talking about. At least to me it looks like a bubble. And I am not saying that I don't live in a bubble, because I do. It takes effort and time to learn all the different sides of the argument, collect facts, etc. so it not possible to do it for all the issues. On the other hand, I completely agree there are good reasons not to trust "the news" blindly or even Russian State Statistics. We need to have some sort of middle way were we do not dismiss arguments just because they are in "the news", but at the same time take a critical look.

"Russia begins where asphalt roads end" :) there are always some truth in jokes. "never seen indoor plumbing" could be an exaggeration, but my intuition (my "own empirical evidence" if you will) tells me that the gist of it is true. I have been to Russia and seen Moscow in all of its fanciness. However, further away from Moscow, Saint Petersburg the picture is quite bleak. But that's just my 2 cents.

> The world of email was a whole lot different back when sendmail was created.

Sure, email in 80s was different than in the 90s. The problem with sendmail is that it didn't get replaced when it really wasn't a good fit anymore and instead it got dragged on for extra 30 years.
MicroBin v1.2.0 Is Available
Does comparing raw number of deaths here make sense without taking into account the total distance travelled / time spent per person on these different kinds of roads? Not to mention other factors like e.g. how tired/inebriated/distracted the average person using these roads is, which is unlikely to be the same for short distance and long distance travel.

Also 744 < 606 + 318 so it doesn't even seem to be "more than half" even with some road types missing.
So why does a millionaire in Turkey get it for $4 while a homeless American single mother has to pay $20? How is that “fair”? It’s just racism.

And as a person who only wears black I can tell you, there are so many nuances of "black" you will need to match... but anyway not everybody cares about their wardrobe in the same detail. I know enough people who would just throw on the next tshirt in the pile, those clean jeans and whatever sneakers are not muddy from the last rain and call it a day. Everybody makes choices from time to time just not all about the same topics.
There is but we live in a liberal society, and by definition if they reject it that makes them radicals (though more a "top = totalitarian" kind for both, rather than right or left)
Reactions like these baffle me. Is it jealousy, resentment of people who are privileged enough to be above the norms of corporate feudalism?

Manu Cornet worked for Google for a decade, making these comics and getting famous for both them and (by all accounts) being a very good engineer. One of the comics leaked and was read by Satya Nadella, who cited it as an inspiration to turn Microsoft's corporate culture around.

So there's at least some people even in Big Tech who can tolerate a bit of very gentle chiding.

Seriously, Cornet is very tame in his comedy. If he didn't actually work in Big Tech, most of his comics wouldn't be considered all that clever or funny - but they get that little boost from nervous laughter of his colleagues. It's transgressive by corporate standards, but barely.

Who wants to work in a hellhole where even that isn't tolerated?

I love when 2 DJs live-code together (on the same document! Editing each other's loops) or when a VJ live-codes some visuals in reaction to the DJ live-coding the music.
There is no objectivly better here though, its entirely subjective.

The fact that the rest of society has moved on is a fairly clear indication that this subjective premise that 2 spaces is in some way better, shows it clearly does not show enough objective benefit to remain in use or it would be common practice in all of society.

edit: a sibling comment has provided links to a study on this, showing there is not statistically significant improvement in reading speeds reinforcing that this formatting is not objectivly better.

You might be right from a purely theoretical perspective, but through the way the ActivityPub federation mechanism works, there' will be an inherent difference between local content (in easy reach on the same server) and remote content which would require additional HTTP requests to make sure you have the latest versions of the objects related to it (authors, recipients, etc).

A doctoral program makes sense for someone who wants to spend the rest of his/her life studying something that can't be studied except in an academic context. It makes sense for no one else. In particular, it is usually silly to do a doctorate if one's ambitions are to make money or succeed professionally in business/commerce/engineering. On the other hand, if those are one's ambitions, one generally doesn't have the sort of passion needed for research.
But what about the sweatshop owners?
I left the US to do a UK PhD for this reason. No teaching responsibilities and you can just do the PhD. And they really try to kick you out after four years (at least in Cambridge).
I can't speak for Spain, but until recently (a bit over ten years) in France university attendance was completely free. Nowadays there's a registration fee, which is 380€ for a doctorate.
> In hindsight, one can wonder why it's not the default behavior everywhere.

Nowadays most Linux distros don't install any MTA by default. Which I think is an entirely valid choice, considering home users, laptop warriors etc. that don't run any services (for the external world) on the machine, and setting up even a simple smarthost type configuration requires putting in some config data during the installation process.
> Why? It hasn't changed in years.

It has though. RCS has come along, which means that you might send an SMS to someone, and their response gets "upgraded" to RCS. If your app doesn't support RCS (and it's impossible to support RCS right now, because the APIs aren't available), you'll never see it.

The choice is between "Keep maintaining the functionality and have people get progressively angrier that their messages are going missing" or "drop it entirely".
Second this.

I used a time machine backup to load my dotfiles and other settings from my personal laptop to a new work machine.

Never, again. I was manually scripping ACL permissions from folder after folder, reinstalling Docker, all sorts of rubbish.

The current set of Mac hardware is brilliant. Once Asahi Linux has the GPU and power management configuration, I'll hopefully never use a MacOS again unless work forces me to. Certainly I'll never buy a Mac laptop again after the current supply chain issues are gone in 3-5 years.

Horrible experience as a power user.

Linux power user features have come so far. The Linux desktop is so much better than 15 years ago it brings a tear to my eye.
If the speed users grasp the information presented is most important, is there any objective measurement that 1 vs 2 spaces actually makes a difference.

I would suggest rather then some arcane spacing convention, the simplicity and clarity of the wording is objectively far more important then any style guide. I would also suggest that this is something the legal profession is generally very bad at with the amount of legal jargon found in most documents produced in the profession.
