Trickle down economics. I promise it’ll work this time!

Folks, unions and high taxation with an emphasis on public works and strengthening the public sector literally has proof that it works. High taxation with an emphasis on military won’t help, so we need to address that first.

The dream of trickle down economics has been proven false time and time again. In the US, in Russia, in UK. It’s not a strategy that has long term success. And it’s driving the world to suffocate itself, so in a very long term scale it’s actually disastrous.
I second that. Any CMS-like system that you attempt to build with some customization will fail to implement some core elements of a CMS that you can adopt - be it versioning, publishing, workflows, etc.
Not OP, but it's about the situation, not something fundamental to the person.

I'd also add there is nuance here. Not everyone in a situation will behave the same way. What's changing is the tendency towards behavior due to environment.
Curios, I tried a macbook in the first month after the launch of the 16inches with m1pro/max and I found fractional scaling in macos for my two 27 1440p display _extremely_ bad, especially fonts were renderized so bad it was hurting my eyes and almost unreadable, while on linux the rendering was immediately perfect
Last time I used ed was to change the network config of a Linux instance in an S/390 LPAR, mostly because I was the only one with any experience with it (an ed clone from back in my CP/M days). Not that I didn't have to scour 1999's Internet for a decent cheat sheet. The mainframe guys were impressed, but I only started breathing when the LPAR came back up and we were able to get a telnet connection.
> though there are some areas (principally the Home Counties) where it's difficult to find a road that isn't infested with speeding Audis.

This is the issue, though. Over here, in France, secondary roads (smaller "départementales", roads you wouldn't take when looking for the fastest route from A to B when neither is directly on that road) are basically rally circuits.

Aside from a few usual suspects, the police don't really patrol them. I know many such roads where I've never seen a single cop after some two decades of riding in nice weather. And, at least around Paris, they're in good enough shape to allow speeding comfortably, but they're barely wider than a single Audi.

Releasing stuff into the atmosphere is not small-scale testing. Medicine is also tested in animal models before being tested in humans - so I would expect this to be tested in a lab first; and then I would expect people to first design a new kind of experiment that would allow us to study the effects of this type of climate modification before actually deploying it into the atmosphere. I don't think we even have the experimental framework in place, so deploying the actual pollutants first is just crazy.

Even if they were really going for some deployment of small amounts of gas as an experiment, I would expect them to actually send some kind of instruments along with the gas as well.
Can't see teh video but I think I've seen this before - very neat but there seems to be a couple of conditions where a kind of lock up (gimbal lock?) could occur.
And the amount of PPP loans we gave out to people with no accountability.

At my last corporate job, it meant I was in charge of maintaining and writing software for test stations in a r&d facility. That mainly meant Labview.
Years ago, a camera gimbal. One of those DIY kits at less than a quarter of the price of name brands.

Spent hours messing around with the physical rig and software settings, but the balance was never quite right.

I'd imagine that the kits today are better all-around. At the time it was pretty cutting edge and the idea of being able to do steadicam shots with my DSLR but on a budget I could afford was too good to be true.
> I don't think the requirements for obtaining a REAL ID are overwhelming for legal citizens and immigrants.

Maybe the computer systems are well-thought out and efficient, but what you're missing is that DMVs are terribly time-wasting, and nobody wants to go to one until it's absolutely necessary. Until the federal government makes it a priority to clean up customer-facing bureaucracies at all levels of government they interact with, these sorts of migrations will remain quagmires.
I had very similar experience. We built a custom workflow engine, with visual designer in a few weeks, which then went with our DMS custom solution. Any workflow engine we tested, before or after the build, was either too complex or too expensive. We had few bugs and newbie mistakes in ours, but nothing too bad. We sold few more installations quickly because we could implement any customer need promptly. It's now more than 10 years and I moved on, but the company is still selling the engine with other solutions. I would say, a big win for build vs buy.
> I’ve had much more trouble with furniture, though, there’s a much larger price premium there for whatever reason.

Logistics, probably. Wooden furniture is heavy. Much heavier than furniture made from modern, plastic-infused materials. This weight increase generates additional costs at every step between the manufacturer and your living room.

(I guess traditional materials might also be less suitable for making flat-packed furniture that can be assembled by the buyer.)
I'm "devops" these days, but I before that I was sysadmin. I always preferred to run a similar OS to those systems I managed.

These days with immutable containers, etc, it matters less. But a decent shell, the ability to run automation tools easily, etc makes a difference.

I know that WSL allows most things, and many devops tools are written in golang/rust, which are available for Windows, but I started at a time when Ruby, Perl, puppet, cfengine, etc, etc were basically not decent options on Windows.

I keep up, I use AWS, kubernetes, etc, but I'm used to flexible, scriptable, and predictable working environment - and for me that means Linux.
> That’s true, but unless you are doing some kind of industrial work (including running very hot computers), you shouldn’t need significant heating or cooling in most of America.

> The idea that indoors needs to be between 72° (F) and 75° at all times is unsustainable.

The WHO recommends a general minimum household temperature of 64°F for all populations for health reasons, with a higher minimum for sensitive groups including children and the elderly; maximums are more regionally variant because acclimitization (which takes years) plays more of a factor in high-heat health risks, but even in extreme regions seems to top out at about 90°F for the general population.

Lots of the US spends lots of time significantly out of at least one end of that range (and, especially given that the top gets lower in colder regions, lots of the US spends lots of time significantly out on both ends of the scale.)

> The other problem is that if you do decide to insulate the house, then you may end up needing to use A/C because the house can no longer be wind-cooled to an acceptable temperature

If you have a house that is insulated well and also lacks doors and windows that can be opened, sure.

But... that presents other problems, too.
that's what you get from that? he tells you they will guarantee $0.07 kw and that it will be cheaper then diesel to run to me this was a scam for PR and the getting people to preorder. Then we have the AI driving the trucks and in "convoys" that we now hear nothing about, yet he said it was already able to do today "2017"

what we got is a truck that no one knows its weights so you can't tell how much it can move in cargo, that costs two times more to operate with a very limited range unless you want to destroy your batteries really quickly but hey they did engineer the best phone charger for it....

No, I'm not saying that. I'll be more verbose:

Sure, but does it gladden your heart to see a female coalminer?

> What do you think coal miners do?

I assume they mine coal.

A small tip that might be useful for some: to replicate real-life incoming network requests without affecting production systems, you can use the nginx mirror directive [1], which will copy targeted requests to the system(s) under test. We use this quite often for blue/green type deployments and the like.

As I mentioned in another post, Apple shouldn’t be farming out the determination to emergency services. They can provide an intermediary to determine the severity. The situation is such that a phone or watch does not have enough information to properly evaluate a situation as an emergency or not.
It's not about non-citizens, as they generally don't have the right to vote in federal elections simply because they are not citizens.

It's about disenfranchising poor and non-white people. In the Jim Crow era they used reading tests or guessing the number of buttons in a jar, now they're implementing strict ID requirements that are expensive or time consuming to meet.

I'm no expert on this topic, but the general gist is that poor people generally have a harder time getting free time off work when the county clerk is open, transport is often difficult because there are only so many locations, and the documents themselves can be expensive. If you don't have all the supporting documentation they require, you can't get the ID card even if you have other legal identification.

The goal is to make it much more difficult to vote so that people trapped in poverty can't afford the time or cost to get the papers required to vote.

Making it harder to vote causes overall voter numbers to drop. Less-polarized people will tend to be apathetic and think voting isn't worth the extra effort, while polarized fox News nuts will do anything they can to vote out the other guy.

Which is all to say our electoral system is broken, first past the post voting is objectively bad, and we desperately need broad voting reform to eliminate the two party system. I doubt it'll happen in my lifetime though.
This is frequently done when you have a (very hot) boiler in a power plant or chemical process nearby. A natural gas turbine can't generate electricity very efficiently on even 212f steam, so instead of building some gigantic turbine to get that last bit out, you route the waste heat into a nearby neighborhood.
Totally Awesome! We need more grand projects like this one.
I very much agree with all of this. I tried to use desktop Linux for years, and besides the UX issues you mentioned above, I also just found every desktop environment (I tried Gnome at length, grew up on KDE/Xfce) mildly clunky and lacking some essentially design spirit. Not everyone's cup of tea, I guess.

WSL doesn't help solve the lack of decent window management at all. I hate managing window sizes and overlaps; it's why I use a tiling window manager than handles such things for me. There is now tiling support for the others, but they are so manual as to be useless IMO.

The focus stealing proclivities of both macOS and Windows for new application windows can also go die in a fire as far as I'm concerned.
Having a family and having a career are without a shadow of doubt thieves of time from the perspective of personal growth. I'm not saying you won't learn anything by having either. But it's a side effect, nothing more. All the time spend in your career could have been spend learning most musical instruments. All the time spend with your family could have made you a master mathematician.

I'm not saying these are worthwhile choices to make. But if you want to maximize personal growth these are choices you should make.

The fruit of youth is that you actually are encouraged, and in the position, to maximize personal growth. Of course it's a self full-filling prophecy children actually do grow the most. That doesn't mean children are actually better at it.

There are studies that show exactly this for language acquisition. For example: https://core.ac.uk/reader/148309780.
> After using both, I honestly don't understand why devs use MacOS over Linux

I have used Linux as my main driver on all my desktops and laptops between 1999 and 2021 until I migrated to Macbook Pro.

The simple reason is that maintaining basic operating system to do the basic things it should be doing should not be taking so much of my time. I am sick and tired of fixing another audio, wifi or power usage issue because package maintainers decided they have a different idea or spend time fixing my graphics driver every couple of months at the most inopportune time. I need to be able to open my laptop and reliably be able to continue with my work, is that so much to ask for?

So I switched to MacOS and for now I could not be happier. Setting up some things is as frustrating as it has always been for me but at least once I do it it tends to keep working.

Everything works as long as you stay in the apple ecosystem. I had this weird problem where my wife's macbook was backing up all the photos and videos from google photos to icloud. I know nothing about macs, I got a mbp over a decade ago and put linux on it as soon as I figured out how. I found it quite harrowing figuring out how to remove all that from icloud, and prevent it from happening again. It still gives very odd errors seemingly related to what was probably an incorrect fix.

I have a colleague who almost feels like he's actively trying to make me hate him by throwing completely unrelated to work off-hand remarks in the most basic thing I do, like telling people that I'm gonna take a lunch break or just opening up a terminal prompt while we pair program.

I know it's off-topic but It's hard for me to try to be likeable with people who are actively trying stuff like that, and I don't know what else to do. It feels like I'm sitting on a table and the other side ignores their table manners because they're just that valuable to the company that they can.
(If we're talking about physical things) trying to build/fix anything has always been a failure, a waste of time/or money.

On a couple of your points:

- fractional scaling is a known sore spot, but it seems like it's getting better fast. Wayland finally has fractional scaling and the upcoming release of KDE is coming with proper fractional scaling support.

- The laptop sleep setting is some that can be (sometimes) fixed by changing a bios setting (called something along the lines of 'Sleep State'). It's part of a Microsoft + Intel initiative to make PCs "more like smartphones," with all the extra "user friendliness" you would expect from that.
This is almost exactly my experience. I'm the type of person that's not great to shop for gifts for because I mostly buy the things I want and am minimal in what I want. My wife knows this, though, and just told everyone to buy me Steam gift cards for Xmas now that I have my Steam Deck.

My only complaint right now is that, for some reason, it seems like my cloud saves on Steam also saved the configurations for some games so my graphics settings always revert to the settings saved on the Steam Deck, even when I play on my PC. Titanfall 2, for example, crashes when I open it on my PC the first time after playing on the Steam Deck but then restarts and runs fine afterwards (albeit with the settings from the Steam Deck). Changing the graphics settings back words until I play again on my Steam Deck (which lags horribly until I reset the settings back to Steam Deck defaults).

> 11 Jul 91 - When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi and Emacs are just too damn slow. They print useless messages like, ‘C-h for help’ and ‘“foo” File is read only’. So I use the editor that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

This is actually true if you ask ChatGPT to simulate a Unix session, and try editing text files. You literally can't use a visual editor.
during one of the first interviews I ever had, the interviewer took me to a private room where I could do the coding part on my own

on the desk was the laptop they wanted me to use, some pens and paper, and a stack of resumes from other people

the interviewer made no mention of the stack as they were leaving or when they came back, and when I asked about it at the end of the interview, they chuckled and changed the subject... to this day I'm wondering if it was some test to see if I threw the other resumes out (didn't get an offer btw)
If you are on Wayland, fractional scaling should be working fine as of 2022. It'll be a little blurry in some cases until everything is native Wayland and fractional scaling is supported through all apps and compositors, but at the very least window geometries should be being scaled correctly unilaterally when you run Wayland today, heterogenous DPI, fractional DPI, whatever.

Can't comment on scroll inertia. Libinput has been working pretty well with my assortment of trackpads. Touch input seems ok on Wayland too, using an ITHC based device.

Have not had the sleep problem with Linux lately. Actually, the problem has kind of reversed - nowadays, this problem is more associated with Windows, thanks to Windows Modern Standby being impossible to disable on newer Intel processors. Still, sleep may be broken if you are using an NVIDIA based device. All I can say is, NVIDIA is one thing better avoided with Linux today. Obviously, if you want your best shot, using hardware that is designed and tested only on other OSes that has merely reverse engineered support in Linux is not going to give it to you, though I understand why people are not willing to fork the cash over to one of the few vendors like System76 that actually do a reasonable job.

You got me on clipboard management, that sucks today. I'm pretty sure it's not impossible in Wayland, but it'll need compositor support. KDE on X11 used to have great clipboard management; dunno what the status of that is in 2022, as I used KDE most in the KDE3 days. Clipboard management is hard for valid reasons though. Just like on all other operating systems, clipboard isn't really a place that data lives, it's an IPC layer. When you copy, nothing happens except for the advertisement that something has been copied to the clipboard. Sometimes clipboard operations hang if an app becomes unresponsive, and the act of "pasting" is not necessarily without side-effects. This makes active clipboard management pretty hard to get right, if it's possible at all with today's designs. The biggest problem is LOSING the clipboard when an app closes, in some environments. That really does need to be fixed. That said, believe it or not, it happens on Windows too, just, thankfully, not in most common scenarios.
A better strategy is to first move a small part of it out of the system. And not go for a complete rewrite. And then make sure the old system can work as a proxy for the new system, or vice versa.

When both can be used simultaneously you can now gradually move from one to the other, or revert back as needed.

This is what I followed.

I have some games in Steam, but actually don't like to use a PC to play games, so the steamdeck looks like a viable alternative.

Thanks for this!
Last time I had a cycling accident that required an ER trip, I received a packet from my insurer a few weeks later asking for details. The way the questions were phrased, they were absolutely looking for somebody else to pay. Is it common that the insurer takes the next step (actually suing another party)? No idea, but they definitely look for ways to pass the buck.
I cannot for the life of me understand why someone who values their time would choose an arch based distro. Arch devs have zero sense of accountability to their userbase.

A few months back, there was an issue with the master build of grub that would leave computers unbootable. It just so happened that the arch devs were using the master branch because nobody wanted to back port some security fixes.

Instead of owning up to the issue and apologizing, we got some lame half-assed excuses days after the event. When I asked the security dev about it, he patronized my concerns and told me I would be better off on an 'easier' distro.

I immediately formatted my drive and installed pop os, and I have had exactly zero issues since. Linux is fine on the desktop. Arch, however, is terrible.
A few more clues which are demonstrated, but not explained, by ^this response:

* Begins with a slight rewording of your question, rephrased as the introduction to the answer

* Ends with at least a sentence or two of CYA-type caveats, like "ultimately it will depend on", "there are many factors", etc.

* Writes in full sentences even when not really necessary - eg. this bullet point would be phrased as "Text generated by a language model would be more likely than average to be written in full sentences..."

* Avoids pronouns when any ambiguity is present, even if it would be obvious to a human. eg. If the first sentence is: "Robert and Joe were playing football when Joe injured his hand", a human might continue: "He tried to keep playing but it hurt too badly." ChatGPT would be more like: "Joe tried to keep playing but his hand hurt too badly".
