I believe Firefox doesn't expose the audio device output picker, only letting you select a single output device (you can select one in the permission prompt, but changing it is difficult). Last time I looked into why Teams wasn't working right, that was the reason Firefox was still listed as unsupported, because this can easily miss up setups with conference call PCs hooked up to some fancy proprietary audio conferencing system.
I recently bought a Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 6 with a 11th gen i7 and 32 GB of RAM. Even as a convertible, it plays very well with Linux.
You can solve cultural problems on a micro level.

I know many couples that have merged into larger multi-partner families, sometimes as individual couples, sometimes as polycules, regardless, the commune is back lol, and just my own observation it seems an ideal way to raise kids. There's always someone around, couples can take their own time to go on dates quite regularly, the kids grow up with lots of people around and lots of friends, the close community support is just phenomenal looking. If I have kids, I will go this route.
This is a good point as well. Ultimately any search engine has user IP address though, modulo VPN and similar technologies.

For a regular user who signs into Google to use Gmail, they'll be searching while signed in anyway - no real loss of privacy, and arguably much gained by not broadcasting anything into the adtech data pools.

For a very privacy conscious user who wants to be anonymous and is already taking steps like using VPNs, there is a loss in privacy due to payment info being attached. (You could argue Google accounts could be pseudo anonymous, but for most users they're anything but - location data, history, emails and search queries make them totally identified).

There are technical solutions to avoid the payment linking issue (cash in envelope, selling gift cards via retail, etc), or through using blind signature schemes to separate payment from usage. The user experience of these options is likely to be far more complex, with people losing access and customer service fiascos with people being unable to prove they signed up before etc.
I would expect that, while it is a hassle, somebody would do it. And you only need to do the computation once. Then, stamp it on a square tablet and you can sell it!

Probably make a whole set for different aspect ratios. Carpenters might like them.

“I used to buy 1.5 ft cuttings of wood at the market to make the diagonals on my cabinets, but thanks to geysersam’s number blocks, I buy 1.42 ft cuttings of wood. It’s like every 17’th cabinet is free!”
I have an older XPS, the 9560, and compatibility with Linux has been pretty good, but the build quality has left a lot to be desired.

I had to replace the Killer wifi card with an Intel card, as the OEM one was flaky and this seemed to be a known issue that wasn't acknowledged by Dell.

The battery failed on me 3 times, and I eventually gave up on the warranty and bought a third party battery which I installed myself.

The power connector got loose, which required replacing the motherboard.

The case itself is not very stiff, so putting it over the edge of a knee or table means the touch pad won't click due to the flex.

Perhaps newer models have addressed these sorts of issues, but I'd be wary of buying another considering the Thinkpad I got for work has been very solid.
The one with the best hardware.

As Linux runs any laptop I happen to be buying without any glitch.
> so I am not concerned with "responsive design", which is arguably one legit use for the UA header.

Responsive is specifically designed to work without client hints/detection, so you'd be good there anyways. Specific mobile-only versions of websites is what breaks, and a large part of that is (some?) Wordpress sites.
ChatGPT will use fallacious arguments when answering politicized questions. When called out, it will admit it used a fallacious argument and then say one shouldn't do that.

That's sort of like where a parent will give a wrong, but easy answer to a credulous child when asked a question, and a different one to adults with more discernment.
Most clients that OP deals with, anyway. If your code runs exclusively in a data center, like the kind I suspect Google has, then the situation is probably reversed.
Does Google use the X1 because it’s so good with Linux, or is it so good with Linux because of companies like Google?
I find these mocking "watch it burn" articles a bit shallow. There
are deep reasons the wheels are falling off, but little stomach for
digging deep and risking any intellectual commentary.

Two accounts I do find useful remain "The Trap" and "All watched
over..." by Adam Curtis, and "The Californian Ideology" by Richard
Barbrook and Andy Cameron.

Only when we understand why the best of motives are always vulnerable
to greed and stupidity will we stop creating new monsters to scare
away the old ones.
Nice, same, I think the "cultural problem" comment is not saying that the problem is that "women are going to work" but rather that "the parents have to be away from the child for the majority of the time, or they will all be homeless and hungry."

I'm not sure which country the OP is discussing, likely one without good maternity/paternity laws and whatnot, which is really sad to hear about, I hope more citizens demand this of their governments and more employees demand this of their companies, it seems crazy to me that you should have to sacrifice formative time with your newborn so you can go do a capitalism every day.
Fascinating idea. Do you know of a company that’s done this? Or maybe planning to do this?
Can you tell us what problems you ran into?
I think this would be a great change to do alongside http/3 or something. That way we don't break old web sites.
In a nutshell: Tor is communication, while Freenet is storage (with some communication as a matter of necessity). Folks like me might quibble about whether Freenet is reliable storage or something more like caching, but the key point is that data exists in Freenet at rest for retrieval later.
I have do not disturb setup for nighttime hours - if I’m using the phone I’ll see texts but otherwise it won’t go through unless someone is on my approved list or doublecalls
I prefer reliability over latency, always. The world won’t fall apart in 200ms, let alone 40ms. If you’re doing something where latency does matter (like stocks) then you probably shouldn’t be using TCP, honestly (avoid the handshake!)

When it comes to code, readability and maintainability are more important. If your code is reading chunks of a file then sending it to a packet, you won’t know the MTU or changes to the MTU along the path. Send your chunk and let Nagle optimize it.

Further, principle of least surprise always applies. The OS default is for Nagle to be enabled. For a language to choose a different default (without providing a reason), and one that actively is harmful in poor network conditions at that, was truly surprising.
> I've been lucky in that two of my doctors treated my rare conditions as mysteries, puzzles to be solved. Not much like House MD, which requires an explicit explanation. But more like "Hmmm. That didn't work. Let's try this other thing I've been reading about." Instead of summarily dismissing my experience because there was not "hit" in their knowledge base.

My current goal in life is to save up enough that I can afford paying a private doctor to treat my chronic condition in exactly this way. Possibly in India or another place where it won't run into many hundreds of thousands of dollars. I still have no idea how I'm going to try and find one but your description has put it into words so aptly that I'm going to take it a8nnd run with it.

My condition has left me unable to use any kind of keyboard-like device except for MacBooks and any kind of mouse-like device with physical buttons (i.e. not trackpad). Using anything else hurts both my finger joints and wrist to the point that within minutes I need to stop using them. Yet with all the doctors I've seen here it's the same; 1. Do the scans and test 2. "Well we can see some inflammation in the wrist, you need to rest more. Here, we'll prescribe some NSAIDs.". Completely ignoring the absurdity of the suggestions given that it happens within minutes and having tried resetting things completely by disavowing keyboards/mouses for a few months to little effect when resuming usage.

> FWIW, in the USA, at least, the combo of fee-for-service and compensation model discourages sleuthing. (But does encourage more testing, ironically.) IMHO.

While that may be the case, I think you're still more likely to find a doctor willing to sleuth in the US than anywhere else. The cultural factor having an even bigger impact than the profit model. Having spent many years in both East-Asia and Western-Europe, each of them have cultural factors working very strongly against it even if their compensation models should be more favorable. For the former, a big aversion against debate/answer searching in general and particularly questioning an authority while doctors are as big as an authority as you can get, ranked at the very top of the hierarchy. For the latter, a big distrust of patients and high degree of expected "self-reliance".
Look at:
https://lang.video

Video is a language for making movies. It combines the power of a traditional video editor with the capabilities of a full programming language. Video integrates with the Racket ecosystem and extensions for DrRacket to transform it into a non-linear video editor.
sounds interesting (an asynchronous relational data model with orthogonal persistence and transaction logging and rewind?) but also it looks like you're not throwing out amd64, linux, tls, html, tcp/ip, js, or even the dom, just maybe postgres

i like the idea 'With Adama, the transactional boundary is a single message. A single message from a person enters and a single data differential is emitted [to the log]'

i do think this new kind of data store needs its own language; though it could conceivably be a dialect of an existing language, very few languages are fundamentally relational, and those that are (prolog, say) are poorly suited to reactive systems (in pnueli and harel's term — as opposed to transformational)
At this point I think that the definition of truth is just another wedge issue introduced to the political teamsport - the process of searching for truth was already so noisy that it's best left to the people nearest to the feedback loops that help us iterate on solutions. Reading between the lines, this is a push to take power away from the bureaucrats in charge of the US (Western?) regulatory model (the so called "deep state") and move the "fact finding" process to somewhere the politicians could better influence it.

Climate change is a perfect example because oil companies and armed forces worldwide have been operating under the assumption that it's real and its coming, largely because they're the ones who have to deal with, for example, the immediate effects of storm size on ship builders, ports, and deep sea mining equipment. We've got a Jekyll and Hyde government with a Navy that has been preparing for climate change since the 90s while half the country fights tooth and nail against the very concept.

I think the pragmatic approach is to let the experts at the CDC, FDA, EPA, etc do the work they're qualified to do while working on checks and balances to prevent regulatory capture, politicization, and corruption.

when using TCP_NODELAY do you need to ensure your writes are a multiple of the maximum segment size? for example if the MSS is 1400 and you are doing writes of 1500 bytes does this mean you will be sending packets of size 1400 and 100?

"Just build a retaining wall" my wife said. 13,000 lb of concrete block and 10,000 of dirt later, we had a retaining wall.

This could be interest exercise, but is not main issue for industry.

Few years ago, I've spent large amount of time, to figure out, why there are so few good films.

Findings shocked me. So simple, but impossible to fix. Just people are unreliable, in sense, You could have best crew, enough budget, best etc, but still deliver something average. And people are most unreliable part of formula. This is not intentionally, just too sophisticated model, accepts too many outcomes, and many leads to fail.
Your criticism feels entirely non-substantive. Of course it's lacking depth as its target audience is not historians. Maybe your issue is with the overall trend of "pop journalism" that puts out short, easy to ingest but ultimately reductive content (I think of outlets like Vox on YouTube). I personally think as long as it's not outright lying about the subject, exposing it to more people is better than gatekeeping it for academia.

Plus I found the read fairly interesting.
Not even a single study was cited in that page. It’s garbage.
Can confirm, not worse than Google. I do still use !g to use Google occasionally, but as often as not I'm disappointed in the Google results.

It's quite refreshing to have lenses for specific types of searches (programming, for instance) and be able to set up URL redirects (reddit -> old.reddit, for example).
What makes you think that search engine results are a fair representation of viewpoints?

> DNS needs to be connectionless; it’s building block protocol for TCP.

This doesn't make any sense as you could use DNS and TCP separately (for example finding a hostname using DNS to connect your video streaming ingestion server running via UDP and hardcoded addresses to bootstrap installation files via TCP respectively).
i used to believe that too
Wouldn't this be primarily due to lack of car travel, rather than the city generally? As I understand it, urban dwellings and populations are per-capita more environmentally efficient, because density enables economies of scale.

Every chapter is about a peer review economics journal article. It's entirely likely that it doesn't align with peoples views working in those industries, but to suggest people can just casually wave away peer reviewed economics articles as pseudoscience is really kind of ridiculous.

Isn't that the only known instance of meshing gears in nature?

Agreed that there are plenty of geometries that would be very hard to evolve but are very useful. Wheels are another example.

We’re more or less hiring at “pass the baseline level of competence” and I don’t think we’re alone.
As far as Mini PCs go, I'd consider Intel NUCs (currently NUC 12 Pro line), primarily because they have great firmware lifecycle support.
A lot of cheaper brands in the NUC-like Mini PC space don't consistently release firmware updates (if at all), e.g. to fix security vulns, which is a deal breaker for me.
Intel NUCs are validated for Ubuntu and RHEL.
The main downside is that you'd be relying on an iGPU for gaming, so do some research on whether the Core i5-1240P's Xe iGPU would be able to handle the games you're interested in.

One informative aspect of the responses is in the rather high estimates of what constitutes "explaining to a six-year-old".
0.01% of 5B is 500k, not millions. But:

I guess I would assume a lot of those users are on mobile (or in China? Not sure if they’re in your number) and so will be standardised enough to not look like bots (though I expect they’d still get a terrible experience if they had slow connections, which I guess is likely for many) and so pass filters.

On the other hand if the company of ~3k people all count as being affected that’s already ~0.001 percent of the US population so maybe your estimated proportion is reasonable/low.

I think I would guess that the population of internet users who might be affected by a problem like the one described at the root would be 400-750mm. I would guess that the rate of ‘innocent people getting cloudflare pain due to being infected with malware’ is higher than 0.01% though.
I had to look it up. Seems I fork over two grand, wait a year to even get it, and then instead of having any of the apps I want to use I get desktop Linux apps on a touchscreen. Where do I sign?
I was recently in a similar boat, as the combination of discord + twitch was really making my 11 year old i5-2520M-based T420 really show its age (WHY IS A DESKTOP CHAT CLIENT AN ELECTRON APP??!??!) even with 16 GiB RAM in Arch Linux. I settled on a 16GB X13 Gen 2 from the outlet store (which seemed like a deal at ~520 USD). Coincidentally that's where I bought the T420 in 2011. The outlet store seems like a good way to snag a bargain for Linux users if you have a bit of patience as I would be looking at a last-gen model anyway (which seems to be primarily what the store stocks) for better compatibility.
I have never heard of Wizard’s Bane, but that name being associated with why someone would learn Forth made me curious. So I search and find a result that says ‘where magic is volatile and he tames it with Forth.’

So, is the book ‘Wizard’s Bane’ actually focused on using Forth (or some ersatz programming language concept) to do magic? If so, that basically describes a huge part of an hypothetical RPG I’ve been designing on paper since college. Also, would you recommend the book to a fan of genre fiction?
I don't know what their data plans are like or how good their network is.

In AU, you can still get really cheap prepaid plans that don't really have a lot of data all things considered. For example, right now I can get an Amaysim SIM for $100, and you get 60GB for 365 days. https://www.amaysim.com.au/plans/long-expiry-plans/

This is roughly 165MB a day. Probably amazing compared to a poor country, but it's all relative.

In FF, incognito window, uBlock origin allowed in incognito windows:
- google.com is 500kB
- twitter.com is 4MB
- tiktok.com is 5MB
- youtube.com is 6MB
- facebook.com is 300kB
- Commonwealth's Netbank is 2MB

This is not even considering all the other data you need for using those websites. If your mobile phone and your mobile data is your main source of connectivity, it's really easy to blow through it all just on basic things.

Almost any machine should do okay unless the user is easily annoyed by fan noises.

The DeskMini is slightly larger and heavier than most mini PCs, but it is the only one I know whose cooling fan can be a high-quality quiet Noctua fan.
Ha I wonder about that. How many laptops have you bought, over what timespan?

What versions/variations of Linux have you run?

What are your use cases?

I put Linux Mint (Cinnamon) on a Lenovo Legion 5. It's really pretty good, but has glitches. With Cinnamon (X11 + GNOME) there's weird issues with fractional scaling. (1080p laptop; I have bad eyesight and prefer 125%.) Added KDE Plasma 5 which fixed the scaling issue, but I lost the ability to control brightness from the laptop buttons.

So I'm 0 for 1 on "any laptop" and "no glitches" :)
Tried it. You don't get better quality of anything. You just get to pay someone to collect your search history under an account with PII and payment info also associated. You have to login each time you search stuff in private browsing. Very annoying when I go back to a tab or back to search results and I need to login to see them. It is a worse experience and I have to pay for it and I can't use cash, coin, giftcards,etc...

I think they wanted to emulate proton maybe? But they don't have a free tier with at least ddg like experience and charge for premium features. Only people with a lot of disposable income who really care about privacy but also trust a company to not associate their info with their search history will use this.
Seems to me we can identify a scientific fact: it's an empirical proposition for which we have sufficient scientific evidence. "Sufficient" is a community standard, and different communities may have different standards. That's not an ideal state of affairs, but it turns out to be a liveable one.

This doesn't solve the problem of "future-proofing" or universalizing facts, because THAT is not a solvable problem. But it does solve the local problem of making a community decision about who deserves respect and what topics are worth debating.
I posted this because it worked perfectly for what I needed it for: a watchdog script on a cron job that issuis a PING to a process that occasionally times out. I'm sure it has a million flaws. Everything in Bash does, depending on who you ask. I'm certain there are a thousand reasons it won't work for somebody's application. It worked for mine.
Whenever I see this clip, my first thought is always that’s it’s a perfect manifestation of my ADHD. Which does of course heavily feature lack of prioritization. To me that false sense of dependent tasks (which in fact, aren’t) is one of the hallmarks.
They should block their own crooked customers because the alternative of being belligerent with the authorities will deal exactly to the outcome they're whining about: the only option available is to block IPs leading to their more legit customers being caught in the blast radius. That should, ultimately, lead to the legit sites taking their business elsewhere.

As for doing legal content blocks based on geo-location, that is not a can of worms. It's table stakes, and I find it hard to believe they wouldn't already have that capability.
