This might just be the bias of the circles I move in, but over the last five years me running Linux on the desktop in a development work environment has gone from a weird oddity, to uncommon, to boringly normal. I've had a few non-work tech-adjacent friends ask for opinions on running Linux on Thinkpads for example.

I strongly suspect there's a multitude of factors including the rise of the cloud, the maturation of Linux desktop distros, Linux being the default/only options for things like Raspberry Pi's, developer software being multi-platform, etc.

While some hardware issue still remain, getting Linux compatible hardware of any type is pretty easy. It's not 100% guaranteed situation like Windows is, but you'll have multiple options for whatever you are looking for, which is a massive difference compared to years passed where some hardware categories simply did not have a fully fledge Linux compatible option.
The Dreamcast didn’t come with CE. There was just a version that could be used /with/ the DC.

For some reason people equate “compatible with Windows CE” stickers with “runs Windows CE when you turn it on”

That's a design problem, imo, not a Python problem.
I touch type with my pinkies always on the control keys, not sure why you would have it any other way as a programmer. That might be suboptimal for typing text, but programming has so many special characters, and interacting with editors, browsers and such is usually better done with mouse and shortcut setup, so pinky on ctrl makes switching to mouse seamless.

And before you say I'd be faster with a typical home row setup, I program fast enough to compete with the best in the world in competitions, editor and keyboard enthusiasts talks a lot but they don't really deliver that extra speed in practice. They optimise for one use case and ignore the others, so they don't get faster overall.
That's still very vague, though.

How was the initial (src + docs) breach performed? How do they escalate that into a successful social engineering attack, particularly since the breach was known of?

Did the targeted employee have unfettered access to all this customer data?

Will be interesting to know the fuller story. I'm guessing that's only a matter of time.
That’s a naive understanding of 2 topics in 1 post. Structural high labour costs can’t be negated by a CO2 tax - how could they?
The Gillard / Ken Henry CO2 tax proposals would have had a devastating impact on employment in both mining and oil & gas. While many ideologues would have cheered this at the time, both industries were and are essential to modern industrial economies. There are many examples all over the world (and in Econ 101 textbooks) of what happens after you increase taxes on an activity or product. While there was a media campaign, it’s disingenuous to suggest that’s the only thing that stopped the tax (and got rid of one of many terrible governments we’ve had in modern-day Australia).
I don't know how people put escape there. For me it's a common key to accidentally press. I don't want to accidentally be pressing escape and closing out of dialogs and whatnot. On my desktop keyboard I've actually mapped the caps lock key to F13, which I only ever use for activating push-to-talk since it's easy enough to reach and an accidental tap doesn't really matter since it would only transmit for a fraction of a second.

I'd like to see a comparison between, say, how many people want to customize their scroll speed (hard on linux, easy in windows/macos) and some other use cases, like how many people to sandbox and control permissions for individual apps (easy on Linux using Flatseal, hard on window/macos).

Then we can get a better sense of how niche these demands are, and how well these desktop OSes support them

That doesn't relate to not understanding how stop losses help?
Gladstone is ~$150 million direct investment (by Forrest) for Green Hydrogen, so that's small beer; Clarke Creek wind, solar and battery farm from ealier this year was $3 billion (by Forrest) IIRC, and he's just put another $4 billion into CWP Renewables acquisition (which I'll be honest I haven't yet mapped - that may or may not overlap the Clarke Creek project).

However many of this small projects are part of a larger $50 billion commitment with Germany to produce up to five million tonnes of green hydrogen (per annum) by 2030.

My current PC has ECC memory and I will never go back to non-ECC memory. The stability increase is noticeable, especially when using RAM as a cache drive.
Two things can be true at once: you can abhor the beliefs of others and support their right to express those beliefs. This is because limiting the expression of beliefs will inevitably cause broader global harm to a society as a whole down the road.
> Other than some niche tiny firms catering to the stupidly wealthy (the 0.1% and above) like a dynastic family investment fund, I can’t think of any.

A good watch indeed. Mechanical film production is all but dead. It's all a digital pipeline now.

Curiously, all the new technology has failed to make the creation of VFX movies less costly.

We made "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" 20 years after Tron, and the results were also a movie ahead of its time. I guess that happens when you push the technology forward in a big way. Takes a while for audiences to catch up.
You are barking up the wrong tree.

The ABI compatibility is never expected nor is taken for granted, for it is an internal implementation aspect of an operating system. An ISA does not equate to an ABI either. Blaming Apple for devising or augmenting an aarch64 ABI is akin to blaming IBM for using the XCOFF and the AIX ABI on their POWER platforms rather than using the SysV ELF ABI on the same POWER platform that Linux is a signatory to.

Incompatible ABI's used to be a common place across different UNIX flavours from different vendor running on the same ISA. DEC Ultrix running on MIPS used an ABI distinct from that of SGI Irix running on the same MIPS ISA. For many years the ABI was not even recognised as a thing and was rather very loosely based on the original PDP-11 ABI (e.g. the result is either in the zeroeth register of the CPU however it was actully named, or on the stack if the result was too big to fit in, input parameters either in the first 4-5 registers or on the stack etc).

It took years of bickering amongst UNIX vendors until the SysV ELF ABI was finaliased and adopted across all modern UNIX implementations (sans Mach-O on Darwin and XCOFF on AIX). Linux went all in with the ELF ABI as it was well positioned to get away from a zoo of legacy ABI's it historically had to support on different hardware plaftorms (a.out, COFF, ECOFF and whatever else there was out there) even at the cost of the performance loss on the 32-bit x86. Whereas all BSD's (Free, Net and Open) just baulked at it and stuck with the historical BSD ABI for several more years to renege later on.

> Imagine, God forbid, that The Rust Foundation goes defunct at some point in the next 100 years, and its IP bought up by the next generation's SCO or Novell or whatever, and they decide to patent the borrow checker and whatever other innovations are in Rust. Do you think that would be a bad thing?

1) I'm not certain the Rust Foundation actually owns the underlying patent IP for the borrow checker.

2) But granting it does, imagine, the foundation or its successors files for a patent years after including that IP in Rust and years after granting two extremely permissive licenses (MIT/Apache 2) for the use of that IP, and tries to enforce their patent rights against your fork, FeO.

3) What exactly is their hope of winning a patent infringement case after granting those extremely permissive licenses?

Don't both MIT and Apache 2 provide a very strong defense against infringement where one is using and modifying the Rust code base (you fork creating FeO)? If you don't like Apache 2's explicit patent grant, Rust of course offers you the option to use MIT's implied grant.

"Any language used by the owner of the patent, or any conduct on his part exhibited to another from which that other may properly infer that the owner consents to his use of the patent in making or using it, or selling it, upon which the other acts, constitutes a license and a defense to an action for a tort."

Can you show me an instance where anything like what you describe has occurred? If not, you should describe precisely how your hypothetical could occur? Because, from where I sit, your theories seem like pure FUD.
Yes and no. Many strategies for delaying antibiotic resistance require having multiple different effective antibiotics at the same time. Thus, getting down to the point where only a few work rapidly speeds up antibiotic resistance.

Unfortunately, antibiotics are the tragedy of the commons writ large, and we’ve been wasting them for minimal gain because even minor private benefit generally outweighs long term consequences.
Agreed. I live in a city with amazing and cheap public transport and I love it. Apart from the things you mentioned a car also means you always have to go back to the place you left it. I walk lot and not having to worry about that really helps.
Sounds like a canon, as expected, just a bit fast.

But why just one scale? Put on the natural major scale, minor pentatonic scale, something like mixolydian, the blues scale, etc. They all have a chance to sound reasonably good, but with different flavors.

No. Bring it to court, like literally every other case of law enforcement action.
Another important perspective of ECC memory is whether your machine can properly respond to the interrupt. ECC without reporting and handling is not a working ECC. I have been using Ryzen machines with AsRock motherboards and the Linux EDAC driver reports errors correctly (verified by overclocking the memory sticks to the edge). On the other hand, I owned a Dell Precision mobile workstation with Xeon W-11955M processor and ECC SODIMM sticks. However, since its EDAC driver never really lands in the mainline kernel, I won't get any ECC reports, so the corresponding process that has a bit flipped will not get killed.
Right, but the motherboard for a lot of systems from that era were a nonissue. If the /chipset/ supported it like with the 440 line then most boards would handle it.

And, by your own suggestion, this isn’t a fault of Intel and more of OEMs sucking.

I mean, I guess Intel could have tried mandating it or something but meh
Based on personal experience, 3 hours per day of meetings is hell. Once you factor in all the time lost to context switching this consumes half your day. This coming year I really have to work on cutting back on zooms for my own mental health.

What needs to be understood is that people are conditioned by their times and the company they keep. It does not mean they didn't do great things we should refuse to acknowledge. Yes, there should never be a hero complex. Flaws should be told as often as the feats. It's not done. Maybe the solution through the whole cancel campaign morass is to tell all sides of a person who has done great things. Acknowledge the wrongs and the achievements.
It has both. I am in a writing community but I generally use the service in much the same way I used Twitter six months ago. I think what gets lost is that it is a generalist community that replaces stuff like search with options to narrow in, whether through hashtags or by choosing a dedicated community with a strong local timeline.
Right. The fact that the administration, like so many others, has simply given the loudest radical students carte blanche — is definitely crucial to understand and to acknowledge. I am encouraged though to see language in this statement that they won't disallow speech even if it "may be harmful to some." I feel like this is a direct blow to the safetyism and "words are violence" that has taken over some college campuses. They seem to be preemptively taking the legs out of attempts to quash speech by claiming it's "harmful."
I wonder, with the right choice of mapping/filters, how much variation you can admit on the input side while still ending up with something that sounds basically okay at the end.

Context: I've been thinking about this recently whenever something to do with machine-written music comes up. My best attempt to describe what music is to me is something like "the patterned construction and resolution of rhythmic and tonal dissonance" — i.e. start neutral, create something that feels slightly uncomfortable, but hint through the pattern how it might be resolved to make you comfortable again. Kinda like storytelling, come to think of it.

So what if instead of a series of Sierpinski triangles, you used hailstone sequences, or anything else that contains interesting complexity and eventually returns to the origin. Could you mix and match different filters ("reject anything that doesn't fit this equality") and maps ("natural numbers to pentatonic scale", "natural numbers to commonly used chord progression"), and then apply them recursively? Could you end up with something that people would interpret as "real music", or would it always still sound like obviously computer generated "not-quite-music"?
It’s content moderation all the way down. The statement acknowledges there is no freedom in speech but the status quo. The bounds of content moderation are set by enforcement not statement. The driver of enforcement is power. For so long as any org protects its prestige it will serve whatever interests threaten prestige and thus wield power.

I wish more people knew about KMonad. It allows you to have many advantages of "fancy keyboards" on regular keyboards, most importantly, on laptops.
Your points are all entirely valid, except the "third world country" stuff: all the things you complain about are common in the richest and most developed nations. It's a systemic problem everywhere, not just in poorer countries. In fact, it might be worse in the richer countries because access to these drugs is more affordable (relative to local cost of living) there: farmers in a rich country can easily afford to pump up their livestock on unnecessary antibiotics, whereas poor farmers in some backwards country can't afford that and probably don't have access to the drugs.
I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV but if I had to make a diagnosis I would say based on this story that astrophysics appears to have a social media disease. It could be a cancer similar to that social media cancer affecting other parts of our society. It is definitely a disease though and looks to be spread by oratorial infection of gullible individuals who transmit to their peers using digital tools. Education may be the only effective treatment in the long term though it takes time and a commitment to the truth at all levels of society to accomplish that goal.

Speaking of drug-inspired ideas (though it was just boring old weed), I recently had the idea that AI is the ultimate medium that will finally enable effective many-to-many communication that the Internet promised but hasn't quite delivered.

The best existing example is machine translation between languages with voice recognition and speech synthesis. While you could have a human translator, that doesn't scale. However, this is mostly just one-to-one communication.

In the last couple years, we've seen high-quality AI image generation that allows people without much artistic talent to express themselves visually. We should also see high-quality text-to-video, text-to-3D, and music before too long. ChatGPT allows poor writers to write error-free, with a defined tone (e.g. formally), clearly, and quickly. You could have the AI take your facial expressions or body language into account, or in the more distant future, directly read brain waves.

But the next revolution will be personalized AI assistants that understand each person, their interests, and how they express themselves better than they do themselves (some people already had this reaction to TikTok's algorithm). With these assistants, anybody can create a customized message that would be most effective.

The third part is the AI routing algorithm that enables each person to reach as many other interested parties as possible, which is currently at a very primitive stage (e.g. following somebody on Twitter or Facebook interest groups). Among other things there should urgency/reach/importance/mood preference.

If we put these together, any person should be able to express themselves and have their ideas reach the right people in the most effective format. It would be fun to create an experimental social network that works towards this goal, but as usual, there would be the chicken-and-egg problem of getting enough users.
