In WinXP You could also use the File->Open in notebook to download URLs.

It's also possible to have binary files that only consist of readable bytes that can be saved in notepad.
For one, the DPI scaling is perfect. Everything is crisp, clean vectors. There are no text scaling issues, no hinting issues, no antialiasing issues. It is simply a pleasure to use GNOME on a 4K display.

For two, the trackpad gesture support is perfect. Everything feels super natural and connected to your movement, and the spring animations are super nice. My only gripe is that there's no elastic overscroll in GTK apps, but eh. Firefox has it, and that's the majority of my computer time.

For three, somehow everything manages to have a mostly consistent theme despite GNOME not supporting server-side decorations. I was not expecting this.

I rebased to Kinoite to try KDE Plasma and couldn't get past the terrible scaling issues, the extremely outdated design, and the total lack of consistency. And forget about trackpad gestures. In fact, they don't even let you change your trackpad's cursor speed! Hope you like the default!

Most of what I like about GNOME is not Silverblue-specific. Although, being able to install Nvidia drivers with two commands and have them work flawlessly is almost certainly Silverblue-specific.

The only commonality between those 3 people is that they're Jewish. There are good and bad people from every race and gender. "Russian" in the case you're talking about is not an ethnicity, so it's a false equivalence.

I recommend you pull yourself away from the Anti-Semitic Point Of No Return. That way leads to social ostracism, and for no good reason at all.

It’s because it’s all the same trick applied in many different specific domains as more approachable (for domain-relevant experts) examples.

I found it funny that people wouldn't stop going "why is Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to jail while SBF roams free??". The Theranos fraud started in the early 2000s. The company imploded in ~2015. Holmes and Balwani were charged in 2018. They were finally tried and sentenced in late 2022. And the saga will likely continue with appeals. And all of this happened double quick as far as the justice system is concerned.

The FTX saga has been going on for a few weeks now. Keep that popcorn away and wait.

Hi originalvichy, I was lurking through old threads about devops and came across one of your comments about how you and your company were bundling common devops tooling in a bundle and serving that as a product. I'm new to hackernews and recently found out you can't DM, so I'm replying to this message in hopes of kicking of a conversation around that original message. I'd love to learn more about that specific solution - is it alright if I pick your brain on the topic? Thanks!
How Does GPT Obtain Its Ability? Tracing Abilities of LMs to Their Sources
I think it's in "Managing the professional service firm" by Maister that he talks about giving people various titles so they can't really compare themselves within a firm. Famously (maybe) there is a scene in The Office where Dwight and Andy square off as Assistant Regional Manager and Managing Director in charge of sales, and each thinks their title places them above the other. There's an element of this in the article, which I think is different than the Walmart Associate / Metamate thing which I think is somehow meant to instill comaraderie. And then there is the actual inflation - "lead" is the new one I see. Are you a lead or the lead. Nowadays it's almost always the former, and it means you have about two years experience, like most current uses of senior
There might be a https://brigade.codeforamerica.org/brigades/ section in your area. Some of the work is porting existing open source apps and make them work for your city. Last city (outside USA) I lived in there was a similar group with regular meetings, they even ran kubernetes cluster of services, making government data open (e.g. parsing PDF files and putting them into a database) and such.
The way I used to do it (back then getting grub/initrd raid aware wasn't really doable - not sure about now) with mdadm was to use RAID1 on the boot volume such that a disk from a broken mirror was still usable by itself. Other volumes were RAID 5 or 10 etc.
Sure we can wait, but there already has been publications about the August 2021 shot, in which they determined that the August 2021 met the ignition criteria. It's pretty clear that they were on the verge of achieving scientific break-even.

Maybe we are just arguing about semantics and what constitutes a breakthrough but in my mind, the hardest challenge of fusion has been getting scientific gain over 1. There are still OTHER hard problem like continuous operation, capturing energy, but ultimately, getting scientific gain over 1 is/was the most challenging. You can say it isn't but the fact is, none of the MCF concepts have achieved a scientific gain over ~.64 and have not improved since the 1990s (JET). Look, if the 7-X or ITER or JET achieves a similar scientific gain, they will get similarly applauded.

I'm not saying that fusion will become a economically viable power source now. It is just that NIF de-risked the hardest challenge of fusion from a pure physics standpoint: more energy out than in.
> Overdiagnosis is defined here as occurring when a person is clinically diagnosed with a condition, but the net effect of the diagnosis is unfavorable.

... So if, let's say, the existing treatments for some disease are bad and often make the problem worse, then the people designing this terminology consider the problem to be "the disease is diagnosed too often" rather than "doctors treat this disease badly"? And the solution to be "avoid diagnosing this" instead of "change the way doctors treat or don't treat it once it's diagnosed"? I mean, that's what the term seems to imply.

Wiki agrees with you... and with me:

> Overdiagnosis occurs when a disease is diagnosed correctly, but the diagnosis is irrelevant. A correct diagnosis may be irrelevant because treatment for the disease is not available, not needed, or not wanted. Some people contend that the term "overdiagnosis" is inappropriate, and that "overtreatment" is more representative of the phenomenon.
Ha, this is basically me. I've written a few (small) apps/tools over the course of my career, but every time they have been extreme focus events where I had to re-learn the language from the ground up. I remember concepts (e.g. I know I need a for loop here), but not the exact syntax of how to write them, for example. I cannot force myself to do this - I have to have a direct immediate interest in getting that specific tool done and it typically happens on accident.

Ops I think can be great for this personality type. But it really depends on the exact ops job, and the person in question. Some ops jobs are more flexible than others, and I think flexibility is really what matters the most. I was an extremely productive sysadmin when I did that as my dayjob, but if you asked me to show up during any block of 8 contiguous hours we were going to have a bad time. If I could randomly show up at 3am to hack out that task I just remembered it was a great fit, since you'd get far more work out of me overall.
While I agree with your point in general, the "manager" in the title doesn't necessarily refer to managing people. e.g. a "social media manager" only needs to manage the function.
I was just talking to someone about this the other day. I personally don't care what my title is, as far as things like self-worth and ego are concerned. But what I do care about is scope of work and who I get to influence with my work. And for that, it seems like most everyone else cares about titles. And so I'm forced to care too if I want to get done what I need to get done.

Up until recently everyone at Netflix was a Senior Software Engineer if they were an individual contributor. This worked great within Netflix, as you just did what you needed to do and everyone respected that you were doing the right thing. But it was troublesome if you ever wanted to leave Netflix, because you may have been doing what Principle Engineers do at other companies, but when you apply there they tell you "Well you were a Senior Engineer so the best we can do is Staff Engineer". Until it became well known what Netflix was doing, it was hard to get even an equivalent set of duties elsewhere.
Funny, I can't stand Solaris and usually want more contrast. Most light themes for code editors follow a low contrast uniform hue approach and I just don't jive with that.

These aren't bullshit jobs, or at least the two on mostly unrelated. These are "real" jobs that need title inflation because title is cheaper than cash. The article uses the example of building receptionists.

Receptionist may or may not be strictly necessary for any particular building, of course, but it's indisputable that a building receptionist is a real job. Eg a large office or residential building where you have a large number of people coming and going throughout the day. Part security guard, part front office mail clerk, part janitor, part concierge. More than enough random little tasks that are difficult enough to automate in the edge cases.

The article also mentions "Sanitation technicians", which are about as far from a bullshit job as you can get... someone has to clean the shit.
Which doesn't come with attorney's fees by default. So if they screwed you out of, say, $10k, it might not even be worth it to go after if there's a large disparity between your resources and theirs.

Of course.

But the SBF story is "man, I dunno, maybe I forgot to reconcile those ledgers? It's complicated I think.".

My guess: He knew exactly what was happening but believed he could outlast the crisis and everyone would be whole on the other side. That risk would probably have paid off about 50% of the time. And I think the Binance guy called SBF's bluff and killed FTX for fun.

That's all well and good, but you'd have to make the case that players' adoption would be significantly affected by whether the game is open source, and I can't think of any plausible causal mechanism, let alone evidence, of that.
I don't know any proper data, but judging from my own experience I'd bet that many ADHD people disable things like notifications and often use devices more consciously than others.

My phone works almost in a pull-only manner - not many things are allowed to cause push notifications there. I can't imagine being able to get through my life with so many things constantly begging for my attention. I have to use ad-blockers and disable JS by default to browse the Web and keep some sanity. Neurotypicals don't seem to mind.

Not only shitty, but opposite of how you'd expect. When a high-profile donor does a high-profile crime—and when they're certainly not going to be a fundraiser in the future—the recipient of those donations has a lot of motivation to distance themselves from the fraudster, to be harsher in their actions, to respond to pressure and sever any perceived ties.

Safety standards were set higher and higher because accidents kept happening, resulting in some well-known extremely large scale disasters and numerous minor ones. As with every industry, the rules were written with blood.

When you are building a power plant which has the capability of making a significant portion of your country permanently incompatible with human life, you generally want to be really sure you aren't going to have an oopsie.
There's (I think) a difference between an "engineer" (someone with a degree in their field, say) and a Professional Engineer (aka a Chartered Engineer), someone who is responsible for serious fuckups.
> Tens of people would be capable of moderating it, especially once the bad apples are identified and banned.

This exists to an extent with WhatsApp family groups, and it is hard to moderate people you know. The person you are moderating can take offense to your action and there can be varying repercussions. Very few want to be put in that position.

XHTML was an attempt at such strictness. It failed, though you can still use XML syntax for HTML if you choose to (serve it with MIME type application/xhtml+xml instead of text/html). I leave you to research why it failed if you want; plenty has been written on the topic.

In the mid-2000s, HTML syntax was finally codified. There is now no undefined behaviour: all inputs have a defined output, however surprising may be, because a lot of it was being relied upon.
Hm... does that mean she gets away scot-free? Not sure that's fair, she seems very complicit.

We've already gone through an entire cycle of technology-driven higher education disruption... ever heard of an online degree? Many such online schools have made billions and lost it again by now.

Separately, the accreditation scheme upholds a high barrier to entry for disruptors. Specifically, a school must be accredited (gatekept by the US Ed Dept) for matriculating students to be eligible for government financial aid.
I worked for a client in the streaming music space. They were going through the technical testing phase of partnering with a high end audio manufacturer. One of their requirements was to retrieve the metadata of N songs within a fixed time limit, simulating their customer playing our streaming audio on their hardware.

The testing office was in LA. The audio and metadata was in Ireland. The lag across the public internet consistently failed their tests.

So I deployed a small read-only copy of the API in an LA data centre which tunnelled inside the cloud provider back to Ireland. I used DNS geo tools to ensure the tester transparently hit the local LA data centre.

We passed their tests with ease and landed a 6-figure contract.

The hardware customers probably had a terrible experience though...
Because governments make the rules about education and the curriculum. Give is slow and typ not at the tip of development. At the same time they need to get the trust and support of parents who all think they know better.
I doubt that 'wright-brothers.org' is a reliable impartial source on that. The idea of heavier than air flight had been around, it wasn't conceived by them. Lilienthal was an earlier well-documented pioneer, there are pictures of his gliders in mid-flight. Just to name one. So without doing further research, the idea that actual scientists at the time thought it was impossible seems highly unlikely to me. As early as the 18th century Europeans experimented with fixed wing "flying machines". The Wright Brothers probably weren't even the ones to first archive powered flight, there are multiple contenders.

It's a bit like with Elon Musk (re-)inventing the electric car. Those popular names that went down in history are usually not the original inventors. These people were first of all successful entrepreneurs that understood business and ultimately won the patent war. But in the early 20th century, the idea of flight was already firmly established, why would any "respected scientist" have doubted what could already be observed in action around the Western world?
All country that have an extradition treaty with the US are not safe havens for any kind of federal (US) crime. That's the whole point of the treaty. Someone didn't do their homework, but given that someone is SBF, not particularly surprising.

Aside from the particular percentages I don't exactly disagree with your observation about the odds of being right or wrong in the respective cases, but I think the skepticism being due to an lazy pursuit of this smugness and self-congratulation you describe is almost entirely flawed as an explanation of motivations.

Instead, I'd like to suggest, in addition to having with cumulative exposure developed a severe hype allergy, a lot of us are burnt with respect to that so-called progress. There's been a fair bit of outright corrupted delivery on the promise of new technology, not least IT, and many people here are savvy enough to see the costs of wrongheaded changes.

Yeah it may well be. My own mother used to sing me the "zipeddy do dah" song as a very young child. The performance of it in that film is absolutely amazingly fantastic. And it's the only thing I've ever seen of it other than one other lowlight. The talent, charisma, and charm on show in that performance is mind-boggling greatness.

The film also has a strong element of pro-slavery propaganda which is kind of why it's quite hard to find and probably why a successful disney flick with one of the great musical performances on film has such a low rotten tomatoes score.

So a list has been made of films selecting the top one or two from each year based on highest rotten tomatoes score. But not this film, which has a low score and has some lines in it that maybe some people love but many loathe and detest, including me.

Why is this film a special case for the stated rule for selecting these films? Does that pro-slavery element have anything to do with it?
