Many work 100% a few may have cosmetic quirks on their UI but remain usable, a few don't work at all, but those are a small number. Take a look at Yabridge, as suggested by another user, it's great.
A nice aspect of running plugins under Yabridge/WINE is that you can run obsolete plugins that wouldn't load anymore on modern Windows versions, so there's no planned obsolescence that would stop you from using that beloved synth or effect that was never upgraded for example beyond Windows XP.
The only problem I encountered with some among really old plugins, and I mean from well over 20 years ago, is that the installer stops as it detects a negative amount of storage available, which is very likely the result of trying to fit a bigger variable carrying the number of bytes free of modern filesystems structures into the smaller one that old code can read. I believe the error could be prevented through a quick & dirty kludge by implementing a WINE executable option that fakes the free storage the installer sees just temporarily until the end of the install procedure.

I'm dubious about the GP's suggestion to use epoxy and fiberglass on this. Epoxy usually doesn't bond well to polyethylene or polypropylene, especially if it's flexing: https://support.jamestowndistributors.com/hc/en-us/articles/.... Are these laundry hampers made from something else?

Answering your actual question, if you are on the US West Coast, TAP Plastics might be a good source if they are near you: https://www.tapplastics.com/departments/fiberglass. If you are elsewhere in the US, either TAP or https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/product/fiberglass-and... online would be good places to start. If you are non-US, you'll need to provide more info and hopefully someone else can advise.
Because it benefits them (in kickbacks from contractors, for example) and because they can get away with it.

Having a well functioning space program? Doesn't benefit them much or at all.

Ultimately, it's because voters don't call them on their BS. If you've been a NASA fan, encouraging NASA funding regardless of what it's for, you're part of this problem.
It's better than the start menu for sure, but still takes an irritatingly long time to become available after a boot.

This is where my thoughts went as well: it's like a data structure that includes 2 numbers and their sum. Then I thought that this particular operation is not just a sum and having the memoized value could make sense: using GPT to generate the commit message for a few thousand commits would be pretty expensive.
Myself and many members of my family made some great easy sales to Carvana (they drive a truck to you!) and car dealers (they had to pay more than Carvana to get a car) way above market price several times during lockdown.

The games industry is on a whole different level.

My friends who've gone into 'normal' software development will work on things out-of-hours from time to time, especially if they're doing something interesting, and they're sometimes on call - but they're also making enough money that if they'd rather work a 4 day week, they can afford to.

My friends who've gone into game development report frequently working 10 hours a day Monday-Friday, and then going into work on both Saturday and Sunday. Or at least, they reported that the last time we saw them - you can imagine how hard it is to maintain friendships after a few years of such a work pattern.

It doesn't really matter to do that in 3 years you're gambling.

If you have a business that you're passionate about and are willing to spend huge amounts of energy on you might be able to generate that sort of money with 100K starting. However I'd argue you're putting in a lot more than $100k. You'd have 3 years of lost earnings.

It might be hard to believe, but for space projects bigger than some scale using people is actually cheaper than sending robots.

The big reason for that is that the robots are very modest in their overall capabilities. With humans, you can't get cheaper than the cost of sending one, or better few, people, but when you cross that line, you suddenly have a lot of functionality for free.
Eh, I prefer dark mode aesthetically, and also I personally find that, at 4 am in a dark room where the only lights are a single desk lamp behind my monitors, and the monitors themselves, white backgrounds are painful. I’m willing to accept that if I was in a sunny room at high noon that light mode might be better.

Twitter's ex-employees have detailed the extensive efforts they made to make twitter run well by automatically diagnosing and managing various sources of downtime.

However anyone with any amount of systems experience knows that updates, bugs and new features are going to be the pain points moving forward.

"Running well" is subjective - moderation is now garbage and advertisers have left in droves, it's easy to flood the website with spam to drown out messages (as various sleeper accounts just did during the chinese covid protests) and many features that have been broken still remain broken. Judging from share price depreciation across Musk's various businesses, I'm guessing the sentiment of "everyone in SV admires Elon" is at best naive, but most likely an attempt at manipulation to address Tesla's still-tumbling share price.

Is there even anyone out there who thought the site would just stop working? The expectation isn't that the infrastructure will fail, it's that Musk will make a series of impulsive decisions that render the site either irrelevant or unable to compete with other social media platforms. So far this seems to be a pretty accurate forecast of his actions.

Even my elderly parents run Linux, supported by me of course. They don't know even know the difference.
What confuses me is the UI changes every version. If Microsoft's bread and butter are "casual" or "clueless" users, aren't they vulnerable to changes much more than power users?

Maybe M$ PMs don't care about confusing your average grandma who can't find the start menu because it moved to the middle of the taskbar. It's not like granny is going to up and switch to a Mac, is it?

> Unless you’re using an OLED or AMOLED screen and your dark mode is truly black – not dark grey, not dark blue, BLACK. There is no difference in power consumption.

Depending on the file I guess mini-LED could also consume less power with a dark theme, right? If a whole region could be dimmed.

Is it true that an OLED displaying a dark color uses the same amount of power as one displaying a light color? I mean, clearly to get the full benefit you have to do full-black for the background, but I’d assume dark red should be less power than white.

The main reason I side dark mode though is that text on a black OLED in a totally dark room appears to just be floating there, which is cool looking.
The release date is June 6, 2023, which was announced a couple of days ago. You can preorder it now. A delay from June or November of next year wouldn't be super surprising, but a delay to "2024 or even farther" is really, really unlikely.

A lot of press got their hands on it recently and the response was rather positive.

That's strictly due to geography. There are not too many places in USSR where one can build decently sized wharfs.

Crunch in software will always result in bugs and missing features, I don't know why execs don't get this.

Especially with games where they apparently MUST be out by Christmas.
From the first sentence “mismanagement and scrupt changes” vs scheduling designed for a crunch, but I’m dubious of that given they’re already in a crunch 6 months before FCS, probably sooner given given there was time to write an article.

It seems some amount of crunch is unavoidable in large projects, but if you’re talking months of crunch time good management will either delay the release or cut features.

That said the games industry is notorious for shitty treatment of ICs, so perhaps 6 month crunch is just the norm?
This is the sad reality, and not just cover ups but actively disseminating known false information for propaganda purposes (speaking of NYT). And yet no matter how many times it happens - pointing it out gets you branded as one of those kinds of people.

I'm aware of the things you're talking about and I also find them annoying. But I just setup a brand new Windows 11 Pro laptop and I had NO idea how bad things had gotten. By default out of the box a brand new Windows Pro install will:

1) Only let you login using a Microsoft account. No local account

2) If secure boot is enabled in the BIOS it will be locked to 'S' mode where it will only install and run software from the MS App store. You can not disable it without logging into the MS Store and downloading and running a tool to disable it. The only way I found around this was to go into the BIOS and disable Secure Boot. That immediately disabled 'S' mode. This was not documented anywhere.
Design decisions are not the "why"s. Commits are point in time checkpoints why development took a certain path. Let's take an example.

If a what looks like this: Store user full name in session table

The why can look something like this:

The full name is authoritatively stored in the user database and should be looked in using the user name. However, during deploys of the Raticate system, the cache gets invalidated and we need to quickly refresh it. This leads to a thundering herd system, as in incident 5244. By caching the full name in the session table we sidestep this problem entirely.

The reason why the Redis cache was not chosen for this data is because the session object is handed to the checkout system for processing, which can for security reasons, as described in document 7745, not access Redis.
I don't think "genocide" is the right term here. It is part of a wider man-made famine, which is an act of great evil perpetrated by the communist regime, but it affected all parts of the southern USSR, including areas with mainly ethnic Russian populations.

Some think he's not a very good troll:

Musk is a try-hard. And although the Twitter shock jocks will happily lap him up because he triggers the libs and serves their purposes, Musk is still seen as a dilettante by the inveterate shitposters and bigots. Over on 4chan, the far-right message board, Musk’s Fauci tweet barely merited discussion. “Elon is just being controversial to drive traffic to his website,” one poster mused. Even in his thirsty attempts to be an edgelord, Musk is failing to be anything other than cringey.

the primary solution to all this is to remove technologies which are not required and especially those that duplicate what the web as a platform provides (ie works in browsers/runtime directly); for example React has been technically obsolete a few years, yet that doesn't mean anyone understands what to do instead, regardless of whether those technical implementations were ubiquitous 1 year ago or 15 years ago; I find it remarkable to read job listings for up and coming concerns (eg Anduril, BioNTech, etc) basing their platforms on long outdated notions and implementations, which bring with them multiple vectors for risk to security and more (unnecessary) costs to developer productivity, complexity; SASS and npm/yarn are other obvious examples of tech that costs more than it benefits in modern work.
In that case 'Russia' was harrassing itself: the regime first established in Kiev in late X century has conquered the northern territories and spread its rule there, then lost core southern territory in the aftermath of the mongol invasions, and eventually came back, also spreading as far as to Alaska in the east.
In fact more Kazakhs starved than Ukrainians. The idea that the famine was confined to Ukraine is completely ahistorical.

> TFA is extremely clear that the presence of citations (in the aggregate, as a count) on “weak” papers is something the author considers a problem and a perhaps a moral failure on the part of citing authors. The author also believes that citations should be “allocated” to true claims.

As I see it, there are two independent properties that the author is saying ought to be dependent. And I think you (and I) actually think the same. If citations are going to be treated as a metric, then the way they are written (without regard for quality or accuracy) is bad. If citations are not going to be written without regard for quality and accuracy, then they shouldn't be used as a metric. Either one of these models would be fine. What is not fine is the present reality: Citations are written without regard for quality and accuracy, and then still used as a metric ubiquitously! Impact factors, the most common method of ranking journals, are literally measures of citations.

> Yes, after extensively complaining about the fact that citations aren’t used by authors in a manner that reflects the way they’re used as a metric, then complaining further about the fact that authors do not use them this way and repeatedly urging them to change the way citations are used — the author then admits that their use of a metric is problematic and should be ended.

The crux of your point though seems to be that nobody uses them as a metric, and I'm just going to have to fundamentally disagree with that. It's true that authors, when writing papers, appear not to give them the care that a metric would deserve. What is not true is that citations aren't used as prima facie evidence of quality/importance throughout academia.

Are the commit messages not helping because people are not reading them, or are people not reading them because they are not helpful enough?

I find the latter quite common.
And to my point - the $25k Subaru with all the option stay be a historical memory or marketing fallacy.

If you open up the pricing tool on the cheapest Subaru wagon/SUV model, the Crosstek, and want all the active driver assist options, you quickly end up at the $30k top-tier "Limited" spec which is $31k after fees, and if you add any functional options/accessories (GPS nav, auto dim mirror, etc) is more like $35k.

Similarly their most famous model, the Outback may START at $28k, but if you want the trim with all the safety options, thats the $41k Touring. You can knock a few of the safety options off by going with the Limited for $36k (and add a few of the safety features on optionally to end up at $39k).

And I'm not even including markups, which dealers spent the last 2 years adding. Personally my mom spent 6 months hunting down a Subaru dealer who would sell her a car at sticker price after having her old one totaled in an accident. Then another 2 months waiting for it to arrive. This is probably over now, but again the $25k car is so rare as to almost be mythical.
I'm not surprised. I've heard multiple stories from multiple people about Carvana just forgot to collect money from them. They bought a used car, the car showed up, and Carvana just never took the money from them beyond the deposit.

This is not only bad for Carvana and their cash flow, but bad for the buyer too, who just has to keep the money sitting there forever in case Carvana fixes the glitch and tries to transfer the money.

I guess at least if they go bankrupt they can finally assume no one is coming for the cash...

> Why is it important to some people to shout down other people's anonymity and desire for it? What's it to you? It's only hopeless if we give up - do that if you like, but why is it important to you that other people give up?

Who said anything about desire. I have no desire to unmask people.

To me it seems increasingly likely that observability and anonymity are mutually exclusive. I think it is hopeless because there's nothing you can do to stop someone from analyzing observations. We just never realized how much identifying information was contained in seemingly innocuous observations.
