Exhausting compared to what?

If you think that Ubuntu has poor user-friendlyness wait until you try this new "Windows 10" thing everyone seems to be on about.

You have to click through about ten pages of menus just to set up the network, and if you get anything wrong the error message is just along the lines of either "Sorry, that didn't work. Please try again!" or "Error -X8004a119af3c occurred", neither of which are particularly helpful. It doesn't come with a usable shell. It doesn't even come with ssh, or zip, or Python.

You're expected to interact with the entire thing by clicking on page after page after page of little coloured squares that aren't meaningfully labelled. Why is a user interface designed like a 1980s "My First Video Game" project supposed to be good?
One of the things Tim O'Reilly used to say is, follow the alpha geeks.

If tech is interesting & compelling & there are some people there already doing the thing, people will overcome enormous barriers & learn lots to come participate.

Few of these systems are truly self apparent- all of them require enormous learning & training & sociation. But we dont see that because we so happen to have been using the same tech for a decade or two now, more or less. The "availability heuristic" tells us what we know is easy, and what we dont know is hard. This can deceieve.

Are Mastadon or the other activitypub systems really hard? Honestly I quite doubt it. But we are improving & making the experiences better over time. And more so, just as you were served as an in the know peer to bridge the Availabity Hueristic gap, the community grows & is better able to bring this knowledge to those who only learned how to exist inside the Walled Gardens.
What the ???

Travel trunks have been around for centuries. They finally picked up the name "steamer trunks" when steamships first got to be thing. Most are bulky and hard to move around.

It seems pretty hard to imagine that there weren't quite a few travel trunks fitted with wheels, a century or few before events (and U.S. Patent) in the article.
Sure, but that is a fairly obscure setting that I don't think merits your earlier build-up "Something as simple as...".

On the one hand, I'd certainly admit Linux has "warts". It's GUI is perfectly usable and clear - it's more now what one is doing than the horror that is Windows 11 imo (and I'm working on that occasionally now). But the warts of Linux are accentuated by the OS attracting a certain kind of "OCD" user who will tell you how terrible it is for lacking X utterly obscure feature.
Ask HN: Have you ever been a fan of someone?
How did that show, begin and end?
Out of curiosity I just pulled User-Agent stats from my “Show HN: Inflation-adjusted stock charts – Total Real Returns” post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32081943 that was #1 on Hacker News on July 13, 2022. Of 38595 clicks that day from news.ycombinator.com total:

30.8% (11868) Macintosh
22.7% (8745) iPhone
21.7% (8356) Windows
15.7% (6065) Android
8.5% (3284) Linux (!Android)

That implies a 61%/39% desktop/mobile split.

Mobile: 59%/41% iPhone/Android split.

Desktop: 50%/36%/14% macOS/Windows/Linux split.

Personally I switched back from macOS to Linux (Pop_OS!) as my primary desktop operating system in 2020.
Fedora. If you don't like Gnome, the Fedora KDE spin is almost as polished
One of my predictions is that this will lead to an AI arms race. The front line won't be weird melty pictures and code that doesn't work but looks like it might, but increasingly expensive automated suits by legal AIs against other legal AIs.

This will - ironically - create the Singularity. And then we're all either in jail, bankrupt, or legally executed.

Twitter doesn't have that. The employee handling the request doesn't own Twitter. If something happens to Twitter it doesn't happen to them except in a very abstract way (and the person who did fire them was Elon Musk in the end).

Governments absolutely have a means to intimidate company owners: it's subpoenaing them to testify before Congress. Not emailing a mid-level content moderation supervisor who has no way to directly talk to the board of executives or shareholders.

What's the ChatGPT traffic volume (requests per second), and what's Assistant's? Or any of the prominent search engines? What would be cost of running ChatGPT at that traffic volume & comparable (user friendly) latency or reliability?

How old is the data that ChatGPT is serving? How costly or feasible is to update it?

In short, the ChatGPT is frozen in all directions. Those are technical limitations.

ChatGPT is an amazing tech demo. It distrupted the Big Tech. That's great. But, we'll need to wait for the new generation. Not ChatGPT iterative improvement.
It looks like they want to replace the desktop metaphor over time. I bet Windows will eventually resemble a fullscreen MS Teams.
Is there such a setting in Windows/macOS? (genuine question, haven't used either much in years)
This is utterly ridiculous. Unless you're a long-time Unix hacker or system administrator (I was the latter for ten years), trying to do anything in Linux is time-consuming, difficult, and ultimately very frustrating. Desktop Linux was always be a backwater for techies and it has absolutely no hope of widespread adoption like Windows or macOS.
Underwater flashlights sooner than not suffer from outgassing and tend to have pressure relief valves and multiple o-rings to keep the water out. O-rings do need a bit of maintenance but it's not a huge burden.
Thank you for having the time and patience to reply to everyone about psychotherapy and how it's not a one-stop-shop to fix all your issues. I feel the same but honestly do not have the patience to take on this immense debate with mostly people who blindly believe that some person with a basic degree has the knowledge, insight, authority, etc. to solve your life's problems. I personally cannot reason with people who have based their beliefs on 'blind faith'.
At this point I’d take the consistency of everything reverting to win95
You've pulled these insults out of thin air. I have no animosity towards Windows or Mac users, nor for those that might hypothetically like Linux but understandably have better things to do with their time than learn the ins and outs of it.
No, I don’t accept that it’s “the people” boycotting Kickstarter? It’s a small minority of media and activists threatening platforms with clickbait headlines, doxxing, and regulation if they don’t give up neutrality, and a larger group who believes whatever the media tells them or has no incentive to speak up. The choice Kickstarter made wasn’t “Do my customers have a principled stance against Unstable Diffusion?” It was, “Do I stand up for my principles - or do I have to put up with $MEDIA_OUTLET running wall to wall stories claiming I hate artists, 200 activists dogpiling my every twitter post, and ordinary people unconsciously associating me with whatever caricature they read on Twitter?” In this case and most others, neutrality is impossible because a minority has chosen to make it impossible, not because either Kickstarter or its customers made a principled decision. This is why this entire thread exists: to counterbalance this and to make clear that cowardice comes with its own costs.
Principal eng working with 3 teams on a ~500k loc React site here. After lots of experimentation, we’re just using React contexts.

- Redux is cool but there’s so much decoupling that it gets hard to read the code. New hires would take too long to start, TS types got crazy, it was too much.

- XState is very good for state machines… but you barely ever need that level of control. Most of the time understanding it ends up being overhead. We’ve had maybe one good case for using it in about 10 years.

- React’s contexts are minimum overhead and work very well with “jump to definition” functionality and TS types. You can choose to use a reducer if you want, or skip it if it isn’t appropriate.

YMMV of course. This is just us.
Yeah, Windows would be 100% better if they just picked one UI design approach and actually made everything work through it.

I have the same recommendation on my car user manual, don't warm the engine, but take off after start up and take it slow for a few minutes until the engine water moves off the base.

I know one of the engineers that worked at the car design and when questioned, he explained (going off memory here) that people used to warm the engine, then started driving normally, and while the engine is hot, the trasmission and differentials aren't, but you don't have a good way of warming them up while standing still, so drive off slowly and carefully without asking full torque from your engine, and it will help warm the whole thing.
Now that I'm no longer forced to use a Mac at work, all of my work happens on Linux. I only marginally touch Windows and Mac for testing and builds.

If I can find a good MDM solution for Linux hardware and software, I'll let the employees at my startup use Linux too.

I get a sense that corporate MDM is all that's holding Linux back.

If you use MS Paint to copy three photos you found online you are violating their copyright. Your personal insight into how it is done might provide you your own copyright and exactly how you use the other things might make your usage fair use.

However the AI process does not create a copyright (there is no human involved) and cannot use the transformative exceptions for fair use due to, again, no human being involved.

The thing to remember is AI literally copies the originals. While it mashes them together in a way that makes the lines hard to see that is in fact what it is doing.
That assumes the rendering is done on the front end.

However, you could attach event handlers for state change monitoring & propagation.

I’m curious to know how scalable an object GP described would be for UI state (assuming it needs monitoring & propagating)

> the PROPORTION of content is getting worse but GREAT content on an absolute numbers level is rising every single year

I’d love to believe this is true, but it can’t be true for every query. How much great content is out there for best gaming laptop or marinara sauce recipe?

Tech gadget review sites are filled to the brim with ads and paid links these days, without exception.

Recipe websites are also filled with ads, facilitated by long descriptions of unnecessary family history to create more vertical space.

> discovering new content is difficult

Indeed, great new content is almost impossible. There are blog search engines which do a decent job. Trouble is, those won’t cover all my queries.

> sclerotic barnacle

Solid vocab choice. Respect.
It is? Where’s your evidence?
Your story is different. You left for a significant time then returned. That’s not what OP is talking about.
What does the military application for the recent developments look like? More powerful bombs, somehow?
That's not the same thing though, is it? Even desktop Linux is not technically POSIX compliant.

Linux mint is brain dead simple. Everything just works. Same version runs on a 14 year old laptop as well as it does on a newer Epyc deskside workstation. There are others like it, but Mint is really quite simple to use, and quite a productive environment.

There are others like it as well.

I've been running linux on my desktops/laptops and servers for the past 24 years. I've not run into problems from a desktop/laptop perspective for the last 15 years. Some have, but its rare.
This is the thing that annoys me about these discussions. Be against arbitrary barriers to consumer repairs that have no benefits to the consumer? Totally on board.

But that doesn't mean that repairs/replacements need to be limited to something a random user can do without tools or at least with tools they're likely to have laying around their house. I've replaced batteries and had batteries replaced in my MacBooks a few times and it hasn't been an unreasonably difficult or expensive process.

I've had laptops with batteries you could pop out but they were relatively heavy compared to today's norms.
Linux scrub Q, does NVIDIA not use any Linux for themselves? Or is it a financial reason to ignore Linux?
I dont either but most people I know do. I use Firefox containers which deters that dialog if you get the multi account container plugin.
I personally use my USB cable, the same that charges my phone and plug it on my desktop computer (Linux) and access my Internal storage directly from there; that's really it!
There is a downside: manually doing so means your import occurs every time you call that function. This would avoid that by only importing once lazily.
What? My car (which is quite old) has indicator of cold water, and recommends not to drive it till it is gone. It takes 3 minutes of idling in winter for that indicator to be gone. I assume other cars have it too.

For that 3 minutes, RPM is high, you can see it at needle and you can hear it too. Once indicator is gone, RPM needle drops and noise becomes lower too.
My T440s has seen Qubes-OS, Ubuntu, Fedora, Pop-OS, Mint [Gnome, i3wm, KDE, Cinnamon).
Pop-OS is my favorite on if I want a usable nvidia gpu with hybrid graphics.
The only issues I had with most updates was a full boot partition because I skip cleanups.

I have a lot more issues with Windows moving stuff.
Settings are a mess W7 -> W10 -> W11.

Qubes is still my go-to if I have to deal with malware infested things.

I'm full time (95%) on Fedora KDE (Desktop Ryzen 2000, RX500). I've had some quirks with Veracrypt and an external drive and crashes related to running out of memory (I'm sure DotA2 leaks memory since the performance gets worse over time)

I've checked my desktop for mouse scroll speed and actually don't have that option. I did change my scroll speed in one case which is Firefox (about:config => mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y = 85)

> but the state shouldn't be regulating to such a level

Why not?

> We don't need nanny states

How do you define a nanny state? It feels like you're against any regulations at all, but plenty of countries have laws about how businesses operate and specifications that their products must meet to be allowed to be sold. I'm not sure how a law intended to reduce electronic waste is somehow indicative of a "nanny state", whatever that is, unless you just believe everything should be up to individual choice. Which doesn't make sense to me, because I don't know how individual choice would be able to solve things like protecting the environment from manufacturing waste processes or preventing the extinction of wildlife.
I'd be okay if Visa and Kickstarted blocked porn, for instance, but I want them to be clear about it and make any card-denied messages explain this to merchant and customer. What I don't like is this gray area where CC companies won't block Pornhub for years of CSAM scandals but then finally get the nerve when a story catches the news.
macOS is a mess. Some apps respect proper bindings home/end, some including native Apple ones are just crazy. Ctrl+A/Ctrl+E works as a super home/end for VSCode but as an ordinary home/end for Jetbrains. Mess, giant mess.

The only thing that macOS did good is a separation between ctrl+C and cmnd+C, so I can interrupt apps in console and copy text without issues.

Fly.io has support for launching a preconfigured high availability postgres cluster. You do have to manage it yourself but most of the hard parts are taken care of. The pricing is also pretty competitive.

I just recently migrated my postgres instance from DO to Fly and it was super easy.

Just because you've used Linux-training wheels edition and don't remember having problems isn't grounds to dismiss the large number of people who do have issues with Linux.

I also find Linux exhausting. I use it daily in servers and containers. It excels from an administrative perspective. I avoid using it as a client desktop pc at all cost because that is not where it excels.
Leaving for a some years then returning is definitely not the same thing we’re talking about.

Exactly. Scientifically speaking, the author of the blog post is unattractive. Users don't want to hear that, so the language model has been conditioned accordingly.

Most/all? gTLDs should have contracts with ICANN that require a business continuity plan and require price stability for existing domains. On the other hand, ccTLDs are subject only to national authorities. Stability of a ccTLD is strongly related to stability of the administration of the country; but they may add a presence requirement without being particularly unstable, and like .eu is problematic because it requires presence which seemed like a good bet for people in the UK ten years ago, but it wasn't. In an ideal world, you wouldn't ever be forced to change your domain name, but if you're not careful, you might be.

Personally, I'd go for com/net/org, a ccTLD you have a strong connection to, or at least seems pretty stable (i do have a .is, which seems likely stable, it's on the linked article's bad list, but only because they have strong technical requirements, but I found them relatively easy to manage)

Avoid free/ultra low cost tlds, as they'll have poor reputation from spammers. Avoid .info because eww. Avoid newer gtlds because some sites may not have updated their tld lists and might not believe your email address is valid; but do use them if the domain is perfect.
