Part of what gives the default KDE theme that feel you describe I think is its usage of transparent grays. Generally when you do transparency in UI it needs to be transparent white or transparent black (though in some case, dark transparent gray can work), because transparent mid-grays make everything feel kinda dingy, with whatever's showing through feeling like it's being seen through a thick fog on a dark rainy day.
As someone that can't stand Python anymore and is learning Common Lisp, care to clarify why have you gone the other way?
Use Linux if you want control.

I use Windows for gaming, but I fully accept that I'm basically renting it as a service from Microsoft at this point even if it's a one time upfront payment to use.
The PC wasn't the host and that is why it was skipped
Twitter is a bank and is stealing deposits? That's a crime.
Complex analysis is pure beauty. I'll duel you on this if I have to.

I use an old ipad2 as a music controller. I have my music stored on a [subsonic server](http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp), and then use one of the subsonic player apps on my ipad, connecting to my old skool amp via a bluetooth adapter.
Disabling multi path is pretty easy. That being said, months of strange errors and mount issues took a really long time to discover that that was the issue.
You can have some seriously in-depth discussions in sociology or philosophy as well, that would be hard to follow for someone with just a STEM background. The kind of sociology or philosophy one would discuss without preparation or reading with friends is not really comparable with the academic disciplines. It is just armchair philosophy/sociology.

I have a feeling many technically minded people would struggle to read and write an essay about Heidegger or Habermas. In fact, I doubt most people are even aware of that type of philosophy due to not having actually delved into it very deeply, and yet as outsiders to such fields they feel confident in making claims that those fields are "easier." (And usually there is also an implication that this being "easier" is an indication of those fields being less serious or worthwhile.)

I recall having to do something like this when starting a new laptop with 10. I think I hopped in the car and drove a little ways down the street. See? No internet connectivity, honest!
Good move!
None of these are arguments.
Presumably whichever auto manufacturer buys Tesla will issue an update to make your dashboard display a Ford logo (e.g.).

Curious if people have done a lot of iOS safari extensions. Seems like a new api
There hasn't been any damage. No one has been hurt. Calm down and stop being overly dramatic. Twitter is not a real place, it's just a social network. Anyone who doesn't like it is free to use other communication tools, or even build their own.

And I'm not defending Elon Musk here. I don't care about him one way or another. This isn't an issue that rational, educated people should get agitated about.
It's not so much that I've stopped asking questions, as it is that I am no longer unsafe about what I know. I question my reality every day, but not having all the answers no longer scares me. I know what I know, I know what I don't know, and I know what I think but can't prove. I find out new things every day, and that makes me happy.

I stop asking questions once I am satisfied I understand something, not before. Sometimes I'll leave a question for later, to give my brain some time to digest it, but besides that, I'm always working through something or other. Just gotta ask the right questions is all.
Compared to cracking DRM schemes, which is what people were doing anyways, it is relatively simple...
That might be an idea. Perhaps give very short sentences but increase the severity of what were previously qualified as misdemeanor offenses? Such that speeding or running a stop sign incurred a 1 year sentence but it could be deferred with a 1 year injection. I think you’re right, that may indeed be a better solution.

- You cannot trace a Python process line by line in py-spy. Because py-spy does not attach the line's probe. By the way, py-spy is a profiler, beetrace is a tracer.
- You can see the call/return hierarchy of a Python process because beetrace attaches function entry and function return probes.

Disadvantages
- To trace the process, Python must be configured with the --with-dtrace option.
Otherwise, you won't be able to trace it.
Yes, one of several reasons they can't be ad hominem arguments.

The people doing 151km trips aren't doing that. They're only spending the "busy" end of their trips under those conditions.
Here's a diagram of the taxi paths:

https://avherald.com/h?article=503c9620

- "Excerpt of Aerodrome Chart, red: actual taxi path, green: cleared taxi path (Graphics: AVH/FAA):"
What could have been done differently:

- Make dependency resolution deterministic by default. Unfortunately the whole ecosystem has to buy into it, but the benefits are huge.

- Stop building castles of sand by making more layers of tooling that have to run in Python (and will therefore run in some random poorly managed Python). The language install can't manage the build system install - if anything the build system install should manage the language install. Adding pip to the language distribution was such a backwards decision that it marks the point where I gave up on Python ever fixing their stuff.

- Ignore Linux system package managers (apt etc.), they have a fundamentally broken model and will infect your language ecosystem with that breakage if you try to cater to them.
I think desktop design in the 90s reached a point similar to car design did in the mid 1910s; the lack of innovation is a sign of maturity. Almost every car since the Cadillac Type 53 has had more or less the same controls; a steering wheel, foot pedals for the accelerator/brake/clutch with accelerator on the right, brake to the left of that, and clutch to the left of the brake. Some deviation from this scheme is tolerable, new automatic systems sometimes replace manual controls like the clutch pedal, but for the most part every new car either conforms to this general scheme or sets itself apart as a weird outlier. Rarely there is a car with a yoke or joystick instead of a steering wheel, but it never catches on.

Even if you managed to discover something marginally better but radically different, it probably wouldn't catch on because the status quo gets the job done and everybody already understands it. Re-learning how to drive because your car came with a joystick instead of a steering wheel isn't appealing to most people who view their car as a means to an end.

(Also, I don't think there's an intrinsic connection between tiling window managers and terminal-focused setups. The apparent correlation between the two is a coincidence; the sort of people who choose one also often choose the other. GUI file managers and the like work fine under tiling window managers.)
That was my thought. I mean, it was a little bit too cinematic and I don't think things like this happen in real life, but I had a WTF moment.
I was sloppy when saying Gnome or KDE rather than GTK or Qt, but it sounds like you were able to see what I was trying to say.

You can run GTK applications under KDE (and Qt under Gnome) iff you install the other runtime. When you do, you’re using twice as much disk space, more memory (due to less sharing), and now have twice as many DE-related vulnerabilities on your machine. IMHO, it’s not ideal.

Electron is really a distinct platform. It requires an underlying DE but doesn’t really use it. It’s a third system and unfortunately it seems to be taking over Linux when it comes to new interesting applications. Both KDE and Gnome feel a little dead from the perspective of an end-user who wants to see cool new apps come out on native Linux. I don’t think desktop Linux is in a particularly good place right now. There’s so much untapped potential and I get a little frustrated to see Electron taking over.
Could be both! APIs decay, someone makes the realization those APIs feed third party clients, and same someone decides it's not a priority with limited labor to fix.
Could this be accelerated and parallelized by writing a custom GPU shader?

Apple has more than one operating system.

iOS requires you to sign in to install apps.

Technically this doesn't lock you out the operating system, but it's close.
How about things like education, healthcare and social services? Historically these were all functions of the church, not of the state. Those functions coming under control of the state means, in effect, the state transforming into the church - or at least functionally becoming church-like.

We see how big tech is taking on a lot of functions of a state. Big tech companies are a bit like states. They have something like citizenship, taxes, and laws.
Probably because the value proposition was that Stadia would run the games on very fast (tm) servers in a datacentre.
I wonder by what metric this is true. For instance, I’m sure the fatality per flight of manned space flight is an order of magnitude worse than commercial air flight in the US.
IntelliJ has a new UI as well, which is more VSCode-like.

I personally don't like it due to the excessive amount of whitespace (form > function), but it's good to have the choice!
It's not an ad hom if he's not claiming Musk is a shitty person therefore he's wrong about X. He's saying Musk is a shitty person and he's wrong. He's just using Musk's chosen pronouns.
Indeed. I got to that point of signup and playing with Mastodon and stopped. What, am I supposed to go hunting for some random server that'll allow me to join? Nah. I'll take my chances with getting kicked off or banned from Twitter, thanks. If I'm sent away from Twitter, I'll just stop consuming that content entirely. Probably a waste of time anyway.
I can understand why the first example is burdensome and don't have any quarrel with it but I can't help but lack sympathy for the second example. If your barrier as a developer is setting up 2FA I can't help but doubt you ever cared much about supporting Firefox anyway. This is like a taxi driver complaining about needing to have proof of insurance and a driver's license.
Did all the Rails people wind up being JS / Node developers?

AFAIK the .NET MVC setup was pretty influenced by Rails, but don't think Rails people went to .NET
A pure sine wave has only one frequency, that's why it is analogous to a "pure tone". It's not a circular definition; they key part is the "pure", which means no dilution by other frequencies, which admittedly is not obvious.
Not OP, but "near collision" implies the very close passing of two objects. These two planes did not come close. Instead, action was taken to avert an almost sure collision.

That said, this is all pedantic.
PRISM revelations showed that the state worked together with large companies like Google and Apple, MS, Facebook etc to gather information. The CIA also had backdoors into popular mobile and desktop OSes. I'm afraid we can't trust any device right now.
I think I consented in some sense; a condition to upgrade Windows 8 retail to Windows 10 or something like that. It is one of those things like "I'm going to close my eyes and punch the air wildly, if you get hit it's your fault". It was my fault, but kind of rigged against me if that makes any sense. Like I said, though, I'm not that mad about it.
The argument that the bad guy does the same thing will never make sense.
Does seem like the west is essentially moving in the same direction as China on this topic, just less overtly
GP gave a reason: The terminal follows you around while you navigate in the file browser. I don't even know to think about where I would start to implement something like that in a tiling window manager. I'm pretty sure it would be a pretty ugly hack.
Any light vehicle traffic is basically inconsequential for any road build to handle any amount of medium trucks or heavy trucks.

Complaining about the 9000lb EV hummer makes for some great circle jerks among the demographics that hate people who drive normal hummers but the road basically doesn't care about them.
You made your career in a social studies field.
Didn't your discrete stereo system have external inputs? I've had an analog cable from my computer's line-out to the stereo system's aux-in from pretty much the same day that my parents let me have my own pc in my bedroom (which was 1996, I think).

These days it's a USB cable rather than a cinch cable, and vorbis/flac rather than mp3, but my PC has been my main music player for more than 25 years -- and the only pair of "game" speakers I've owned were positioned in the living room. Come to think of it, those speakers may very well have been the reason I was allowed a computer in my bedroom :)

Anyway... thank you for prompting that trip down memory lane, I enjoyed it.
The question is if the routing table implementation in Windows (I assume inside the kernel) can handle it.
This is a very intertwined strategy: Without generation 2 satellites, Starlink can't scale. Without Starship running a pretty incredible launch cadence you can't lift enough generation 2 satellites to orbit fast enough to build and maintain a large enough constellation to be a large-scale communications provider.

Every time I tried to get into that place, it feels like stepping into a secret meeting of Eton College students discussing the meaning of poverty. Feels a little detached from reality to be able to take that place seriously.
I worked at a startup on some of the earliest rollouts of Airport Collaborative Decision Making systems:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_Collaborative_Decision...

These are more about timing and throughput in airports, and less about safety critical stuff, and certainly there are new fancy navigation and runway lighting systems to help with that. But what I’ll say is that airports involve a huge number of different organisations, operating huge numbers of systems from different vendors, and until about 15 years ago there wasn’t much joining it all up end to end. To the point that a killer demo early on was merely putting the airport and all the planes on a real-time map. So, it doesn’t surprise me that a lot of the responsibility still falls on humans and processes.
Oh, that makes more sense. It can, I'm pretty sure? But sure, reasonable question.

The fact that it's not done before doesn't mean that it should be rocket science to have two windows conjoined on one side.
I like this explanation. It would be good to include a little bit about why we even care to do frequency-domain analysis, and what a "transform" is.
Are browser extensions safe? My understanding is they generally get access to everything you browse, and are too big a security risk for a work machine.

Is it as bad as I think?

There are a ton of these sorts of SBCs, and they're all more readily available at reasonable prices than the Raspberry Pi. Most have Cortex-A53s, which are in the same class as a Raspberry Pi 3; the RPi4 has Cortex-A72 cores, but for most things that you'll use one of these for, that's not super relevant.

This lack of name recognition is a real pain for people. A lot of folks in the 3D printing community kind of hurt themselves by scouring the internet for marked-up Raspberry Pis from scalpers when a Le Potato or an Orange Pi or a NanoPi or a Rock64 would do just fine. (I use Rock64 boards when I don't need wifi, and Orange Pi 3 LTS boards when I do.) My printer hub is now a Raspberry Pi only because all of the decent touchscreens I found really depend on the Raspberry Pi pinouts to connect power and HDMI, but if you just need a computer in a case, the alternatives are very good and reasonably priced.
Yeah statistical physics is another example where suddenly things just kind of 'click'.
The families on Masada killed themselves before the Romans broke in with their constructed ramp.
Agree. I said that all the time. They just keep adding things.
+1. It's not about the bytes of the book, which as noted are infinitely and trivially copyable. It's about licenses and ensuring money flows.
Did they take away the ability to create a local account if you setup without Internet access?
Amplitude if you want to understand how a user interacts with your product. They do behavioral / product analytics.

They also have a series of books written on analytics and user behaviors, which you can find by searching for amplitude playbooks.

They do offer a free tier and can ingest from different data sources if you want to provide your own.

It’s pretty damn difficult to setup a new Windows machine without the online account. Several “ domain join instead” dark patterns
I would alias both vim and emacs to cat

I think at first the colleague might assume it's a bug in the terminal not someone had replaced the command with an alias

or just alias them to echo, so that it prints out the file name, not even the file content
The rear tandems of a semi or heavier straight truck (garbage truck, dump truck, etc) occupy roughly the same road area as your car and may be carrying the weight of ~10x your car. The contact pressure is also much higher (100+psi tires vs your 20-40 or so).
Given that some Microsoft employees no doubt frequent this forum, I hope they see and address this issue.

Something like an advanced checkbox to customize the local account’s username. Maybe also having a default local user account name tied to the online account for any new machines set up with the online account.
Not OP, I built an extension for a site that sent CSP headers. Because the browser extension wasn't allowed in the list of JS sources, it all borked.

Not certain that's this user's issue, but that is another thing to check.
Distance is relative; for an aircraft about to take off, moving at 50m/s means that 1000ft is a short distance - obviously for a human walking it feels much further.

See e.g. stopping distances for car drivers at different speeds.
Krita is indeed pretty popular for artists at least and yeah, there is an overlap. But still, Blender seems to have way more massive backing in general.
Yes, but Emacs tends to use windows (what one would call panes elsewhere) for everything, not frames, so it replicates badly something your desktop is already doing.
It actually tricks almost everyone succesfully. Every "non-techie" person I have met (and I have met many different people) uses an online account to sign in to their Windows 10 computer.

Every time I configure a fresh Windows 10 system I make sure the computer is not connected to the Internet so it would let me use an offline account.
It’s important to account for the frequency difference for these events. One of them has thousands of flights per day, the other not as many.
This notion of affiliating with specific servers with specific cultures is I think one of the first things that's going to go out the window as Mastodon/ActivityPub succeeds. It's not that hard to provision single-user instances, and the fabled moderation overhead issues are, as I understand from talking to operators, mostly a thing that follows from having lots of people in an instance following lots of other instances --- much less a big deal if you're personally choosing every follow on your own instance.

Think Blogger, not Twitter or Facebook.

In the meantime, there's lots of smaller servers that are taking signups. I ended up on infosec.exchange; it's been fine (thanks, infosec.exchange people!). I'll be on my own address sometime in the next month or so.
This is unpopular? XD
Right, 100 in absolute numbers. But that would be what fail rate as % when measuring total success cases of people pleasantly arriving to their destinations uneventfully?
> Without Tweetbot, Twitter is almost impossible to use

In what way? Don’t probably 99% of people who use Twitter not use Tweetbot (including myself)? I use the browser and/or the iPad app and don’t find anything unusable about it. What am I missing in my ignorant bliss?
The statement isn't too far from the truth ngl. I think it'd probably be in the top 10 most famous C guides out there.
I don't think I understand. We're talking about how to implement this. That method will still have to use deep copying + mutation, lenses or something else internally.
I did. It says stuff like

> Everyone deserves peace of mind, so we made security easy and free for everyone.

which lets me know that it's not a useful source of accurate information. A quick look at the App Store page shows that there are many IAPs, including fairly expensive subscriptions. If I have a choice of paying $30/yr to enable my iPad to be a security camera, or $30 one time to buy a Wyze (which has IR sensors/lights), then I'm going to go with the latter every time.
On 1:

While taxiing, you're supposed to have the taxiway map up (https://flightaware.com/resources/airport/JFK/APD/AIRPORT+DI...), and something like ForeFlight (which many pilots, GA and commercial, use) will alert you when you're approaching a runway as well as once you enter it. Not sure what the instruments in a 20+ year old 777 will have to help with this (likely the taxiway map, unsure if they'll alert on runway entrance).

On communication: most modern flight computers do support getting your IFR clearance from the FAA (see CPDLC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controller%E2%80%93pilot_data_... and Tower Data Link System: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/acf/medi...). This doesn't include taxi clearance.

Looks like ForeFlight and MITRE are working on bridging the gap (take the audio taxi clearance and overlay it on the map): https://www.mitre.org/news-insights/impact-story/runway-safe...

EDIT: here's a video of the feature in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p5-7jVg8fE; looks like it's only on the most expensive plan though :/
I think the main thing Awk is missing is standard support for CSV (with quoting). The recent goawk has it, though.

I mean, to be clear, I did eventually come around on MP3s! I don't still lug a 15 pound folder of CDs around with me everywhere. It just took me longer than everyone else. :)

"Twitter is not a real place, it's just a social network"

The idea that what happens on the internet is unimportant compared to what happens "in real life" hadn't made sense for over a decade now.

The internet is real life.
