Depends on what kind of problems you you find interesting, but since it's so close to the metal, and since people want their kernel to be fast, there tends to be a lot of clever algorithms, intricate locking, architecture-specific considerations, dealing with the hardware, all sorts of pretty interesting things you wouldn't usually find in regular business logic.

Take filesystem code for example. It can sound like a conceptually simple and well trodden topic, but if you try writing one there's a pretty large design space and tons of interesting problems to try to solve. And then because of concurrency and the need for performance, there can be very intricate locking to the point it can be challenging to hold the whole model in your head all at once (you can have truncates, writes, mmap, all sorts of very different operations in flight in parallel that interract in funny ways).

Or memory models. Reading memory-barriers.txt is a lesson in humility, I believe you can count on your fingers and toes the number of people in this world who can truly claim intimate familiarity with all the corner-cases and details implied by the model in that little text file =)

But take practically any big subsystem of the kernel, and there tends to be plenty of interesting domain-specific problems and challenges.
It's funny how many of us have the same story.

It was a bit like the microcomputers in that respect.
Intel J4105 (Futro S740), running off SSDs. Here are a few user measurements [0], technically in German, but it’s mostly names. Power consumption should be below a PI4 with the same SSDs according to the internet ;)

But yeah, with 4 HDDs you will use a lot of power, that is to be expected, HDDs are power hungry. I’d guess they are responsible for most of the consumption.

[0]: https://github.com/R3NE07/Futro-S740/blob/main/power_consump...

edit: Also, your server is running AMD Opteron X3421 from 2015. That’s even older than the already old J4105. I doubt that’s currently considered the most energy efficient anywhere.
As far as I know, all of the written languages around the Mediterranean had very little usage of spaces and punctuation until the Middle Ages. Ancient Greek art even had writing styles where the text would be written in spirals, or alternate between left-to-right and right-to-left. I can't vouch for any argument for or against a reason why that was the case.
>> I'm honestly only worried about charging speed on laptops and tablets.

What kind of tablet needs more than 240w ? I think that's what Alienware uses as well so I doubt you will ever need more than that. Not to mention that the trend going towards more efficient electronics/chips etc.
Perhaps you’re unaware that the level of funding, the level of awareness of what’s happening in Ukraine, the situation itself in Ukraine, have all changed since, you know, the invasion began.
Number one thing UBI does is to provide options.

No longer you'll hear employers say "if you don't like it here, go somewhere else", when the 'else' part is another abusive company like that, going homeless or committing suicide. Under UBI the option of laying flat and not dying is a valid option. As a result, either a lot of people go laying flat, or working conditions improve, because smart employers will want to attract this huge dormant working force.

The number one thing UBI doesn't handle well is rent inflation. You hand out $1000 dollars per person monthly, expect rents to go up by about $1000 monthly as landlords realise there is all this extra disposable income in peoples' hand right now.

However, this is just an exaggerated effect of monopolies sucking out all aggregate disposable income out of economy that is already happening. Monopolies by definition don't have price down pressures, so they always price expand to capture anything people might have extra. Since landlording is the biggest aggregate monopoly in the world, landlords capture any disposable workers' income. No matter if they get a raise from their boss, the landlord always takes it away.

The only solution is an antimonopoly measure that actually works. Anti-trust bureaus always end up corrupt and can't be relied on. Systematic rule based antimonopoly taxes seem to be the only current viable option. One such being the famous land value tax (LVT), which captures extra pricing on rents - enabling workers to actually keep their hardly earned income raises.

Since UBI won't work without curbing monopoly price expansion, and landlords' rents are the biggest aggregate monopoly out there, there won't be any UBI without LVT.
Same here. Also, in my mind, wireguard just works. I tried setting up OpenVPN one time and gave up. Wireguard was a breath of fresh air. Generated some QR codes for my mobile devices, rsynced some .conf files to my machines and I was good to go.
What? Have you not heard of progessive income taxes?

If you're in the US, medicaid, food stamps... your comment makes no sense if your only complaint is UBI.
> In Pennsylvania you can only purchase beer and wine from a grocery store due to legal loopholes -- you're purchasing it from a restaurant physically located inside of the grocery store.

Not exactly. When I lived in Chambersburg (2014-2016), I purchased beer from the few beer stores around. In & Out Beverage is still there [0]. If I recall correctly, they were classified as a distributor that was able to sell cases to the public. If you wanted less than a case then you had to find a bar to buy it from.

In my country (Spain) it's not been allowed to drink alcohol in stadiums for a long time ago. I think it's normal to ban alcohol from these kinds of places to avoid fights and problems.
We should take money from the rich to fund it.

Yep, shore up your own and undermine your enemy. Promote strength, work ethic, and achievement at home and promote idleness, listlessness and parasitic attitudes for the enemy.
Different people, values, principles, ethics, concerns; all of which echo in life choices. Finland is going to have a fraction of the gangs, drug problem, and corruption as the United States by virtue of its size, geography, and choices that people who live there will make. You can't even compare Finland with LA or NYC, forget the whole United States. It is pointless to do so. If you want to examine a specific example, ask yourself how many Chicago-style street gangs exist in Finland.
Well, Twitter is not burning through as much cash anymore now that most of the people are gone…

Cutting the burn rate is a clear and sensible part of Musk’s strategy. The more he lowers Twitter’s expenses, the more time he gives Twitter to try new things.

He’s done a terrible job of executing it, but that part of the business strategy, at least, is sound.
I find it funny whenever I read people say things like:

>if you really want to milk your users, subscription is a way to go

First, that someone would think a "subscription" is "milking" their users

Second, that it would be followed up by this extraordinarily false claim:

>it's universally hated. You will get a LOT of friction, goodwill will be non-existent and the word of the mouth will be near zero

Subscriptions are a fantastic model for many many things - for both customers and vendors

As a customer, I pay so long as I want to use a tool/get updates/etc

For a vendor, I get a consistent revenue stream to fund continued development, updates, etc
I believe they're referring to the essential complexity of the domain. An operating system has some "lower bound" on how complex it can be, which is rather high.

But some stuff doesn't _have_ to be hard. Like OP said, there's no inherent reason for error messages and failures to be cryptic or documentation to be sparse. The system could be more transparent or modular, easier to debug/analyze, etc.

I think there's an example in GCC vs Clang here, but I'm not qualified to comment.
Was like "Huh, didn't know Anno took the name of a real organisation for his show", but from seeing the logo is the logo of the fictional anime organisation, the inspiration is clearly reversed. It seems a real app that gives notifications from actual earthquake warning systems, I wonder if they licensed that logo.

EDIT: Apparently they did some sort of cross promo deal with 3.0+1.0 after existing for a few years, so Khara is aware of them so they must have some sort of agreement to use that name and logo
On the one hand, football fans do have a pretty terrible record of behavior.

On the other, nobody deserves this kind of blatant bait-and-switch after they've paid for their nonrefundable tickets. And bad behavior by one person does not justify bad behavior by another - or to other innocent members of the same group.
>>>alcoholism and suicide

Neither one of this is what most people think of when it is stated "drug addicted and mentally ill"

alcoholism and suicide are strongly correlated with depression, a mental illness for sure but we as a society has largely separated depression off on to a separate category as it is wide (and over) diagnosed condition

Similarly alcoholism while a drug is often referred to as alcoholism not drug addiction

So in the context of Homelessness in the US mental illness would be referencing things like BiPolar Disorder,schefrania, and other more pronounced and outwardly presenting disorders. Drug Addiction would be Heroin, Crack, etc.

All of which present anti-social and often violent manifestations far different than depression
The US is a surveillance pseudo-democracy.

The problem here being this time they can't insert themselves into the surveillance pipeline.

They're not better or worse (unless you're fine with your own Govt surveilling you but not another state), just not the status quo.
They have a long standing, shared cultural history and value system that is ingrained into the every day lives of the society.

Like it or not, the overwhelming majority of human history and culture is ethnocentric. It should not be a surprise that the ethnic values, ethics, and ways of living continue to be the dominant force in an area that has remained the same demographically for centuries.

That's not to say the culture, values, and ethics are inextricably bound to the ethnicity, but it is without a doubt a vehicle for sustainment and major factor in policy success or failure.

DeepL might not (yet) be as good as a good professional human translator, but I'd say it's already better than the average professional human translator. We have a contractor who translates technical texts from German to English and DeepL makes less mistakes and even gets some industry-specific terms right, whereas the human translator with no domain knowledge may correctly translate the term, but chooses a different one that immediately sticks out like sore thumb to anyone who works in the field. I'd rather give a text to DeepL and fix a few things than give it to contractor and still have to fix a few things.

I have to disagree. Substance abuse and hard times are the same thing, because substance abuse is caused by stress. Usually when we give poor people money, they significantly decrease their spending on drugs and alcohol.

Mental health issues can also be alleviated with money. Regardless of what issues a person is facing, they will function better if they don't have to cope with the stress of poverty.
It's obviously entertainment. It could additionally be other things, how Top Gun is both entertainment and propaganda or bar drinking is both entertainment and has health risks.

The math might come to the risks being higher than the benefits but pretending people aren't entertained by it ironically suggests that you might be more radicalized or brainwashed than TikTok users supposedly are.

"The dog bit the man, and the man bit back!"

"The dog bit the man, the man bit back and was shot by the PETA!!!"

It is fully legit and it would be part of the theoretical scheme of things even if we did not live in a world of absurdities. I used it in these pages the other day, and it was in a paragraph worth reading - I did it in full awareness and proportion. Proportion to the very real absurdities.

Just use things as appropriate.

Similar in German. Not sure I tried side by side comparisons with Dutch but I didn't notice those being worse either.

What it (or rather, I) struggle with is single word translations. Instead of coming up with a number of options, it'll just give you one possible translation—the obvious one that you weren't looking for. On desktop you can then click on the word but those suggestions are.... let's say AI-like. Not necessarily wrong, but not like a proper enumeration of options like you'd get from a translation dictionary. I then try to give it context, but still it sometimes just insists on giving you the word you don't want and you need to look for a different translator. (For German–English there is dict.cc, but for Dutch or other languages I often end up doing a regular web search.)
Yes, government policies informed by economists following the rules of "basic economy". It's not like politicians invent solutions on their own.

That is not hard to decide. Of course a drum solo is music.
We're among the least protectionist -not to say we are not protectionist, but comparatively. Others have set the precedent for us. They need no examples or encouragement.

> Paul Graham and some of the YC partners have been surprisingly defensive of Musk's actions.

Thing is, I agree that Twitter needed to be shaken up. But, Musk has made the wrong choices every step of the way. It's like he's giving a masterclass on how to be a terrible leader. It's amazing the miscalculations Musk has made. First, his longest tenure, most experience employees likely just got a huge payday on their stock/options - so of course they will peace out. Second, his antics are driving up the price of hiring new employees. Third, Musk still had a lot of goodwill before taking ownership that he's now squandered. I could go on...

The only thing I can think is he looked hard at the financials and the debt load he saddled the company with and panicked.
Amazon Games TOS considers a potential extraterrestrial takeover of Earth
>Hate to give them extra publicity, but it feels fitting that a certain UK brewerywith an animal in their name

I appreciate your comment, but I'd appreciate it a lot more if you didn't pussyfoot with this juvenile he who shall not be named crap and just said the name. It shows respect for the reader by saving them time, not having to go detective mode searching for this "certain UK brewery with an animal in their name".
5.1 Authority. To enter this Agreement and use the Games, you must be a live human (e.g., not a corporation, organization, artificial intelligence (good or evil), extraterrestrial, sentient non-human primate, etc.). However, this restriction will not apply in the event of the occurrence of a widespread extraterrestrial, robot, simian, or similar takeover of planet Earth, in which case we welcome our alien, robot, ape, or other overlords, as applicable, (such parties, "Their Eminences") to play our Games, and Their Eminences will be subject to the terms of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, commencing on the date of the takeover and continuing for all periods thereafter, until such date as human governance is restored. Provided, further, that in the event the takeover necessitates the forced migration of the human species to Mars or other celestial body, where the Games are not operable at this time, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) expand the locations where the Games are available and waive applicable restrictions under Section 5.2, below, and (b) enable local game servers as promptly as reasonably practicable, subject in each case to the availability of necessary interplanetary logistics, utility, sustainable life support, asteroid deflection systems, local stores or distribution services, and rule of law, as may be provided by our affiliates, our third-party providers, celestial beings, or governmental or non-governmental organizations.

I think the confusion is caused by mixing two things - abstract model of git repository where edges are just deltas between images of file system and implementation where this is all optimized. But you don't have to think about implementation when working with git, just abstract model should be enough most of the times. Sure, you have to think about particular implementation of git when for example getting rid of large files in repository
So there's no way for a startup to create a new connector because they'd have to go through the USB implementor's forum.

This would be interesting if true. Do you have any sources for this or is it just an observation?
The language itself is larger than go, mostly by virtue of its very rich type system. Otherwise it is a mostly conventional procedural language with built in concurrency and some OO features.

> If FIFA was so intent on making history by awarding the WC hosting for the first time ever to an Arab or Muslim-majority country, they could have awarded it to the UAE instead, and they would have delivered a fantastic job honoring the traditions of past tournaments, and ensuring smooth and secure operations as well as a festive atmosphere for all involved, but they instead went with that fundamental and fanatical country of Qatar, and then they have the audacity to act surprised when this crap happens.

This is a great example of what corruption looks like and why it's so devastating to markets. FIFA officials took millions in bribes to sway this and the Russian WC without any regard for the outcome because they all got paid upfront. There was nothing altruistic about the decision to give it to Qatar.

This is way too dismissive of the govs attitude, which is to reevaluate the situation every X years, and way too optimistic toward the industry, which couldn’t converge to anything without getting forced to do it. The “clear victor” only emerged because of the law passed.

For crying out loud, USB-C was created by Apple and look at the situation we’re still in.

Because manufacturers would immediately resort to proprietary ones to squeeze some more money from customers for cables, chargers, adapters etc. If you look at them more as consumables than part of the product, just like printer cartridges, that makes more sense.
Nobody is preventing future innovators from adding their own port with more features where space and cost would permit that.
Insincerity should be the expected outcome from bullying people via socioeconomic pressure into making public apologies.

sure, but still, the profit margin is such that you're getting literally milked
> Edit: from a purely financial point of view, you can make the same argument for companies that do not pay dividends/share repo. Until they actually pay you for your shares, you’re effectively invested in a ponzi scheme.

Yes.. by redefining what "ponzi scheme" means you can say anything is a ponzi scheme.

Or alternatively you can use the accepted definition:
---

Pon·zi scheme
/ˈpänzē ˌskēm/
Learn to pronounce
noun

a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.

---

And when you apply this to "buying shares" you see it doesn't ring true. Probably because shares represent ownership in a business. Businesses can offer returns to investors such a price appreciation instead of dividends.

Most tech/growth stocks don't pay dividends because they reinvest the free cash back into the business.

There is probably a reason you are being downvoted, and your attempt to rewrite ponzi to suit your needs may be a contributing factor.

While it is easy to arm-chair-critic people who many consider the best investors around, perhaps you can post your own investment history as a frame of reference?

Clearly you feel they made mistakes, and that you did not?

Lastly, investors have risk factors. Those who invested in Buffet/Munger did so because of their risk views and it is unlikely that those same people invested in bitcoin because of its risks. Maybe other assets beat out Buffet, but does this factor risks?
