By viable competitor, do you mean OS that I can’t possibly use for work or for proper gaming? Mac isn’t any more viable than Ubuntu, which is why I have an Ubuntu laptop (But a windows desktop, by utter necessity)

(Edit: Actually, when it comes to gaming, Linux is getting better and better)

It should be a bannable offense. Allowing an easy path to farm karma will drive down the cost of astroturfing will ruin the integrity of the site.
No such thing as software without bugs, but given the incredibly widespread use that SQLite sees the quality as evidenced by the fact that finding a bug is news by itself is extremely high. Something to strive for.
I use a glasses prescription 1 diopter weaker than my regular lenses, and sit about a meter from the display. In this setup, the effective focal distance to the monitor is at infinity (actually a little beyond as my regular prescription is underpowered as well).
Tmux is the one tool I use every day at every company I've been with. At my current employer we have a lot of new grads and I strongly encourage them all to use tmux. We have a about a third of our devs on tmux now and they all love it. I have converted many devs, young and old, to use tmux. Once you get the hang of things you are hooked and you can learn 80% of tmux in 10 minutes.
I'm waiting for new lenses/frames as we speak, and I made a mistake two years ago in accepting the "blue light filter" coating that they were pushing. It was horrible - everything was green, especially my peripheral vision. It ruined my experience off the computer. So I took the glasses back to the optician under warranty and requested they be remade without the filter coating. My experience immediately improved and I was satisfied with those lenses. Never again will I opt for that ridiculous blue light coating.

The blue light bugaboo is a hobby horse of my psychiatrist and other quacks. It really makes little difference, because the intensity of the light coming from your monitor or your smartphone is negligible compared to sunlight/daylight. What matters ten times more than blue light is what you are doing on that computer at night: are you engaging in bitter social media arguments? Playing twitch AAA games? Are you watching YouTube with a ton of fast talkers and ads and quick edits? That will amp up your hormonal imbalances and disrupt your sleep patterns surer than the color of light wavelengths coming into your retinas.
Git’s UI is difficult, yes, but I’m sure far more people are familiar with it at this point than Fossil. It would be far more inefficient for me to learn Fossil’s commands for what I need Git to do than just continuing to use Git, at least in the short term (and with no guarantees it’ll improve in the long term). If anything, a tool which goes the other way around - allows me to interact with Fossil using familiar Git commands - seems more useful to me.

It was probably some manager's KPI at Microsoft to increase Edge market share so he decided that forcing Edge to default everytime would push him ahead and get him that sweet promotion.

Microsoft lacks a common vision for Windows and good leadership. As with the products of any massive corporation, Windows now feels like a product built "by committee", a result from various internal turf wars, where every manager or gang tries to push their agenda to gain visibility inside the org to show something at their next performance review and hopefully get promoted, at the expense of the end-user and the OS being universally hated by consumers and businesses. "So, what did your team achieve last year? Well, I was in charge of putting Candy-Crush and other partner-network ads in the Star Menu, giving us an extra 10 Million USD a year. Great, the investors and bean counters will love the extra revenue. HR will contact you about your promotion. Congrats!"

I think much of Apple's success was Jobs dogfooding every product being developed before giving the final go ahead for shipping. I wish Satya Nadela and other higher ups there would dogfood fresh installs of Windows (not the images provided by their IT department) and see the horrible mess they're shipping to their customers. Then Nadela and those execs should ask themselves, "Would I actually want to spend money on this and have to live with it every day? If not, what could I fix to make it desirable so that others would want to buy it?". This way of consumer first thinking allowed Jobs to make Apple what it is today.

Microsoft needs to put in charge of Windows someone who's in touch with consumers and business to guide this project with an iron fist instead of letting various committees and gangs sneak their own agendas in the end product. But I think Microsoft just doesn't care that much about Windows anymore and is instead focusing on Azure & cloud, OneDrive, Office365, Xbox and buying game studios, etc. so Windows is slowly rotting away unnoticed by those at the helm.

I run Maker Stations (https://makerstations.io) — the newsletter about workspace tours from creators and makers. Launched in 2021. We’re currently at about 12k monthly sessions and $200 MRR (not much, I know).

I love WFH and having my own private space where I can concentrate. Offices are fun in their way, but I always struggled to focus in a noisy, open environment.

Ironically, I’d normally listen to white noise while WFH, because I can control the volume!

That (and a famous virus thing that made us stuck at our homes) prompted me to look for some desk inspiration.

I had a blast browsing home office setups on Reddit, but... I always wanted to learn more about the makers behind them. Pictures weren't enough.

That’s how I came up with this idea.

Oh, and our design takes its inspiration from early 1990s computer magazines — with their adorable naivety, optimism, warmth, and energy.

>If you were eyeglasses, it's worthwhile to pay an extra bit - usually on the order of $50-$100 - to get a blue light filter built directly into your glasses.

Is there any evidence that they work? Most implementations I've seen are essentially colorless, so I find it hard to imagine that they're blocking that much blue light.
The food part is big. It’s wild how in the US especially there are about three classes of grocery stores and each cater almost exclusively to a certain social class. You don’t see many laborers or fast food workers grabbing a meal from the local co-op or Whole Foods and the local Aldi or Walmart rarely sees an executive unless they’re infamously stingy
I mean, the incentives do seem to blow the other way. "We have invalidated the well-paid and instrumentally useful papers of a dozen other scientists! Please hire us!"

That seems even more broken. The annoying thing is that the case for renewables is polluted by these kind of price fixing measures.

You can't judge Apple's views based on this matter in the short term. Apple has strategic investments in China and can't just tell CPC to go pound sand.

However, if Apple still is critically dependent on China in say 5 years, then it would be fair to look at the corporate response to Chinese demands and reach conclusions. If they truly care about privacy and the rest of it, they should be well into their transition plans to other locations about now. And industry expert would be able to tell if the effort, e.g. to use India instead, failed due to an insincere effort on the part of Apple (for PR), or the unpleasant fact that China is not a commodity resource pool, yet.
What's the problem with AoE II? It's rated gold on https://www.protondb.com/app/221380 and runs fine for me under Proton.
"it's easier to post a one line command then screenshots for 7 different GUIs"

Yeah, that's the thing. It often feels GUIs on linux are meshed together from at least 7 different styles and paradigms and too often they are indeed made like this.

So in Ubuntu for example I sometimes had to click left to close a window and sometimes right.

What laypersons want, is one single way to do things, that works.
But you just won't get far, without the terminal. That is, things do run pretty much out of the box if you are lucky - until they don't. And then good luck trying to fix it without the terminal. I can parse and usually fix cryptic error messages and logs, but my father (who is a trained engineer, but no english speaker nor programmer) cannot.
Unless of course there is a driver issue. I seldom can fix them and I encountered too many over the years.

In either case, I am lucky that linux exists and I am now off to try out EndeavourOS ..

Heh nicely, here the cops will use any tactic to get in. Because getting in they might see something that gives them further cause to investigate.

They'll lean on the door, bang on the hinges, make you think they're going to break it down.

But as long as they stay outside your door, and it's not reeking of weed or something, just refuse to open.

For now, they're trying to overturn this constitutional protection due to gang violence lately.

Sounds a lot like fuzzing, which is a really good way to find really esoteric bugs against a spec! I did something like this in college when I was implementing a compiler and it caught a lot of really weird bugs in a lot of peoples codes. The beautiful part of some fuzzers though is they can automatically simplify their complicated test cases to something you can actually look at and reason about.
SLS scrubbed numerous launches for random failures. The final actual launch was performed only after a team of technicians worked on a problem in strict violation of safety procedures, waived for the occasion.

The only way to measure reliability is experience, and there has been exactly one (1) launch. It will take another 20 to get a good reliability figure, and we won't get that: we cannot afford to ever launch that many.
They are SOP/standard findings.

You work through a checklist for arse covering, which generates a lot of meaningless/low value findings.

If you omit a lot of those issues, the client thinks you didn't do the work sufficiently.

If you put in too many of those findings, the report gets made fun of for containing "filler".

> having X or Gnome or whatnot break during an update.

This happened exactly once (nvidia driver update killed x as it tried to reload the kernel driver).

Still better than system update deleting all your documents, right? (yes, I know that it happened only once too, but since the nvidia problem is a fair game, deleting user documents is the same).
Nonono that would be lovely, finally some evolutionary pressure. What's the real threat is breeding obligately obedient citizenry and immortal leaders. Which is the first thing practical genetic engineering will probably be used for.

Nuclear was 30% of the electricity generation back in 2000.

The Nordstream projects were conceived to allow Russia to exert force on Eastern European countries without endangering supply of gas to Germany.

Our energy policy has been incredibly short-sighted, focused on maximizing certain sector's economic interests at the expense of national security and EU security.
People are allowed to be proud of their accomplishments. SQLite is extremely high quality software. Identifying a mistake is practically equivalent to receiving a Knuth check.

Nuclear waste has a lifecycle of 1000s of years. The heat surplus kills river life. If things go southwards, whole regions are no longer livable for us humans.

Nuclear energy is climate change wise, surely a good deal but environment wise and human population wise, the thing is not that easy.

And nuclear waste is only easy contained if you are the US, Russia, Canada or Australia. Because otherwise you do not have a significant sized land area where you can burry that waste without creating massive problems.
This is a great idea. I honestly forgot COD exists, since it’s so infrequent these days. But it does seem perfect for this situation.
> I personally use dark mode.

Why? I never use dark mode and never have eye problems. Sometimes sits for like 20 hours coding. All I do is keep the room well lit. I'm in my 30s.

I remember having eye straing a few times like a decade ago, but I guess that was from over eating sugar or something. If you have eye strain I'd guess it has some other reason than the screen or how you treat your eyes. Or maybe you need better glasses.

Edit: Dark mode would cause your pupils to dilate, maybe that is the reason for the eye strain people here see? Bright room with bright room keeps pupils small and maybe reduces strain.

Hey, sorry that happened, it should have preserved all of the default applications, etc. There are multiple suites of tests and processes that exist to try to ensure updates preserve user data and preferences but clearly something went wrong here. I’m just a developer, not a spokesperson, but I want to ensure that this is investigated if possible.

If you file a bug in feedback hub under the Windows Update category it will collect the diagnostics required to fix this issue and prevent it from happening again.

If you also provide a link to the filed feedback to me I’ll be happy to triage it personally as I frequently work with the teams that are responsible for update migration.

Thanks!
an example that comes to mind : find me in the RFC where it is stated that blocking residential ips is ok. (google does this, so not compliant to original standard)

I don't mean DAG versus "lolol," because I'm not saying Fossil isn't an SCM, I'm pointing out the design choices which presumably someone who wants to use Fossil buys into and thus would be a culture clash with trying to participate with the git upstream. I am cognizant this is quoting a bunch from the same page but pull-quotes the anti-git stance that makes me question whether this is a technical problem

We'll start with Fossil not tolerating `git rebase` or `git commit --amend`: https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w... and the number of repos I've seen where PRs don't land without someone chirping about "please rebase your branch"

"Fossil was designed for [...] just four programmers, and 64% of it is from the lead developer alone. [They] know each other well and interact daily." https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w... makes one wonder what kind of awesomeness would ensue if running `fit clone https://github.com/chromium/chromium.git`

and its related topic: "Fossil is not designed for drive-by contributions" and "Where Git encourages siloed development, Fossil fights against it.": https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w... -- I would be really sad to have all my working changes auto-pushed by the tool, although the https://github.com/martinvonz/jj#readme is also in that spirit, where almost every operation is a `git add . && git commit -mwip`

Fossil is `git push --mirror` by default: https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w... versus `git push origin HEAD` which is what most people think of with "git push"

Then, as one of the obvious actual technical issues: Fossil is SHA-3: https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w...
Oh I never lie about the fact that I don’t work hard. Literally never worked a hard day in my whole life. Yet I make bank for some reason that still eludes me.

I am painfully aware of my privilege working in tech which is why I don’t hide it, and try my best to spread it around in ways that aren’t self-gratifying. I’ve paid my friends’ rent, car repairs, groceries, plane tickets so they could be home for the holidays, venmoed my struggling friends so they could go out with the group, hooked them up with jobs, bought concert and festival tickets. Literally no one in my social circle is allowed to say, “sorry I can’t money’s tight.” My only conditions are that they not thank me, never pay me back in any way whatsoever, and tell no one.

Windows was fine 10 years ago when I switched to Mac, but it seems like every time I look back, the OS is more hostile. They basically took every reason to use an ad blocker, and baked those into the OS.
Can you elaborate? I never had a Mac device before this year, but it can do all the document processing (M$ Office) I need for work/school, almost all audio-related stuff (DAWs and VSTs), and video/photo (ugh I know but Adobe) that I need it to, even though its a brand new chip architecture. It can't do games but I have a M$ desktop just for that and for some rendering stuff
