I just checked and there are 1.3 millions packages in npm, 600k in pypi and 100k in nuget. While I'm sure that most of them may be either obsolete or useless, that's still an order of magnitude bigger than the packages proposed by a Linux distributions (60k for Ubuntu)

And virtualbox is actually a good exemple of what I'm saying: despite being one of the major software in one of the field where Linux is strong if not dominant.

- they feel obliged to distribute themselves their Linux packages
- they have to distribute 1 package for windows, 2 for macOS but 12 for Linux.
I would imagine emacs org mode probably has what you need
The Nissan Leaf had no battery management system when it launched. Many similar cars from that era lacked a BMS. E.g. the Renault Zoe and a few others. I'm not sure about the early Teslas. I think they saw the need for a BMS pretty early.

I think you are just playing semantics here. Obviously they had some simplistic controls on the electronics. But no smart distribution of load, cooling systems, etc.

Calling people ignorant is not nice BTW. Says more about you than me. Insisting on references is also a bit weak. Where are your references? I suggest you do your homework with some Googling and then come back to apologize. Would be the nice thing to do.
I wonder how much improvement can be had by installing an application firewall and restricting everything that doesn't need networking for its primary functionality.
You're looking at the per-repo settings of gitea there - obviously push-to-create doesn't fit there (;

It's enabled for users/orgs via env vars ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE_USER/ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE_ORG. DEFAULT_PUSH_CREATE_PRIVATE sets whether new repos should be public or private (ideally this would be configurable by the user but oh well).

If Codeberg doesn't have t enabled, maybe suggest they enable it?
Oh, I quit recently.
Very surprisingly, I learned it was harder to get access to GPUs at big tech companies outside their dedicated research teams than it was for a scrappy hacker outside on side projects with lots of savings. So I quit to work on those projects. I miss not having a dedicated infra team but don’t miss having to beg for resources. I wanted to use google cloud since I use some of their other services for this, but could not figure out how to get them to increase quotas and take my money. I was willing to pay nearly double the hourly rate I am currently paying at coreweave to use only one cloud provider but they just wouldn’t sell me it
An exit from beta has been promised for years. I think this is what most people take issue with.

throwaway - I worked 10+ years at a bay area lab (out of college) without a MS/PhD but background in physics. Did software mostly. I left about a year ago to work at a major bay area tech company.

I’ve worked with people at FNAL, LBNL/NERSC, SLAC, JLab, LLNL, BNL, Argonne - as well as NCSA, CERN, NASA, INAF/IN2P3, tons of universities and NSF research facilities.

I get paid now, but it’s because there was always chances to learn and challenges out in the national lab systems.

my tech complaints are that the existing IT people in the national lab system really are old school. Most computing is done in batch farms/grid, and if your not that you have to be creative for your resources. Cloud isn’t really something that gets used. Build systems are ad-hoc. Lab overhead rarely pays for anything software for the purposes of software development. People are generally smart but really conservative to new tech. The NNSA programs are a bit more flexible than department of science programs (Sandia/Los Alamos might be most famous). On the office of science side there’s a lot more cross collaboration between labs.

Simple things, like a $20/mo cloud service, are almost impossible to pay for. Expensive things, like a $400k purchase from Dell, is a piece of cake. Nobody is probably going to provide you a k8s cluster or anything, so running your own stuff/third party things is painful. Every national lab has a stupid opinion on which container tech to use and it’s never just docker or podman. Hope you like Singularity and Charlie Containers.

That said, I still miss it. I will probably go back at some point. I don’t miss having to run so many things, fight central IT on small things, deal with purchase. I miss the people. Age distribution is bimodal, probably peaking at 27 and 55 would be my guess for many labs.

Remote work is probably okay with Office of Science jobs, depending how close you might be to hardware. Probably not the case with NNSA work.

It’s easy to write/collaborate with software as open source among all the California labs. LLNL is the most impressive there by a large margin. Berkeley software is under BSD usually.

I was making 165 ish and now I make about 350k total compensation. Senior software would probably be around 145-185 at the very highest in bay area. If you can be an architect on a significant data intensive experiment with 200MM+ funding you might be able to get 200. Might get a 20k boost at LLNL if you are under NNSA related things.

The problem the Chinese fleet has is zero operational experience. Their carriers are barely capable of peacetime air operations. You’re making the same mistake everyone made about the Russian army a year ago, big on numbers and big on hardware so big on threat. But all that hardware doesn’t do you much good if the actual soldiers (or seamen) have no idea how to function in an actual war.
Here's what Yandex gives you:

Tornado Alley = every damn year.

Snow and cold weather from Nevada to the East Coast except for Florida...every damn year.

Hurricanes, every year or two - no thank you.

California - a flood every 200 years, an earthquake every hundred or so years. I'm standing pat on my hand. I'm in SoCal for good.

If there's a flood, I know all the high places around me, I'm no dunce, I will drive to those places. And they ain't far - no traffic jams - only 10-15 blocks away, but not too many people know about it. Lots of parking.

Massive earthquake - ok that would suck but I have a lot of food and water squirreled away. These places would not be found by roving bands of hungry men ready to kill for it, if it came to that.

So keep your snow, keep your tornadoes, keep your hurricanes.
It sounds like a good idea to preemptively disable Windows Error Reporting. I usually do it (and kill all other telemetry I can find) on all Windows machines I set up.

Highly tangential to Plus, but this issue is highly prevalent in IT. Usually, no one knows what systems there are and who has access to what. So Plus (or whoever) cannot really solve this problem without providing separate access management tooling
Step 1: spend a lot of time playing video games

Step 2: play video games that reward deliberate practice and skill

Step 3: put in effort on reducing lag, especially if you're playing games developed in the time of CRTs. Modern games are built and tested with modern everything and you get more time to react to things, but games built for CRTs expect nothing more than a couple gate delays between the video out and the electron beam, and for the inputs to be current when sampled. Modern displays have a lot of nice things (convergence is great, vertical and horizontal alignment is perfect, the picture size doesn't change when the background gets brighter or darker, etc), but they usually also have an image processing pipeline that's measured in milliseconds, some take much longer than others. Bluetooth controls use bluetooth, enough said.

Wired controllers and a CRT won't make you good, but flakey wireless and a laggy LCD might make you bad.

Step 4: make a practice plan and use it, and adapt it as necessary.
From my preliminary research, 30-pin lasted a little less than a decade. However, from my understanding, the replacement of 30-pin with Lightning is not because of mechanical reasons. One of my 30-pin devices is still with me, and it works flawlessly.

30-pin connector is in fact a compact ribbon cable with plethora of interfaces and signals (analog audio i/o, FireWire, USB, Video, etc.) [0]. Lightning replaces this with a single digital bus which can be configured for plethora of things [1]. And the connector is both much smaller in both host and cable side, too.

For example, Lightning to video out adapters download a firmware from the host and boot first, then they negotiate the protocol and they start talking. Similarly, Lightning to 30-pin converter is a high-quality A/V station inside a small shell. It contains all the hardware required to expand lightning port to a full-capability 30 pin connector [2].

This is why also Apple is hesitant to convert Lightning devices to USB-C. Because it's not a simple USB port disguised in a reversible 8 pin connector. It's a whole software/hardware stack which allows port and connection to morph and adapt.

The port's introduction was indeed flashy, but I guess it was iterated for a couple of years inside Apple before introduction, I guess. So, the technology was already mature and boring before it's rolled out.

Another similar technology is "quick burst charging" (Charge 5 mins for 2 hours of use kind of thing). Pioneered by Sony almost a decade ago, now offered by everybody else (Apple, JBL, Philips, etc. on their rechargeable devices). The feature is flashy, but it's matured for over a decade by Sony before everybody jumped the bandwagon.

> I understand we can of course create aliases or small utility scripts, but having a place where we can just store these frequent commands

But that's exactly what an alias is. Put it on a script that you source when loading the terminal and there you have it

Or you could have a "commands.txt" where you copy/paste commands

Though yeah, maybe there should be a better solution (well, you can always look back history as well)
I think search is hard generally.
I switched to an M1 Mac pro recently, and it has its own set of challenges.

For instance, there is no start menu but a search bar called Spotlight. You do your quick math in there (where you'd call calc.exe in Windows).
However, it only accepts your query as math... sometimes. Like 50% of the times. Otherwise it searches the web.

If you search for a program, it takes just that tiny second to update results such that if you type one letter too much, your top result goes from program to web search, and pressing enter opens Safari.

Relevant results (folders + files) do appear, but usually you have to scroll.

The search bar itself comes up very quickly though.

If you do consider switching, one warning about Mac is this:
Window management is utter garbage. Maximizing is actively discouraged. Tiling left / right etc? Doesn't exist. Everything must be random size and overlap weirdly. Instead, each new version brings a new quick switch or workspace functionality that I have never seen anyone use.

Oh and for some reason, it's less stable than my prior windows machine. Apps just crash a lot, but that's probably due to the Arm64. I mean, remarkably stable compared to computer back when, of course, but compared to Windows 10, I have more crashes and even had to restart a couple of times!
Fucsia's kernel (Zircon) is hard real-time I think, which is what you want if you value predictability and low latency over all else.

Though you don't need an RTOS to make a responsive app, of course. It's just there's such a tendency for systems to bloat and become a tangled mess of RPCs and process activations, while using an RTOS tends to tie your hands and keep you from getting into such a mess.
There's many other problems with the start menu - specifically search

1) Anything not found opens in Edge™ and not your default browser (WTF?)

2) It loads lazily - so sometimes you hit enter and the highlighted item has already changed

3) Partial searches don't work very well.

At this point, I'm wondering if there's a start menu replacement app
I think you are being optimistic because you are neglecting the urgency of this issue. We have maybe 10 years left to get to 0 emissions. We are not even decreasing.

If this graph were something happening in the 80s, I would be ecstatic (well, if I had been born and had known about global warming). Right now, it's far too little far too late.

This is not a time for finding a new way of abundance, it is a time for accepting that we have been growing our economy on burrowed time, and we have to significantly shrink the global economy ourselves, or the planet will do it for our children or grandchildren 20-50 years from now.
You're right, I tried it and it didn't learn a simple grammar.
Scamming people with their guilty conscience, either for money or control, while actually doing nothing significant.
Why not go ask it?
I sometimes encounter a slightly different situation: when I type something in the start menu, it finds it quickly. But then, when I press enter, nothing happens. There's the "select" animation, but the menu stays on-screen, and the app doesn't start. I will then proceed to press enter multiple times in frustration, each producing just the animation and no other discernible effect. Then, after a while, I'll get X times the app started all of a sudden. This also happens on the settings menu coming up when clicking on the network icon in the taskbar: if I click the gear to open the settings app, it will animate, but nothing else would happen. Click X times, and X settings apps pop up after a while.

This is on a newish computer, 11th gen i7, fast-ish NVMe, etc. It was reinstalled when 11 22h2 came out. I also don't have much junk installed (nothing apart from intellij, teams and the rust build chain).
Since I don't use a trackpoint-equipped laptop anymore (couldn't resist the M1 Macbook), I've since switched to a Contour Rollermouse Red (mouse) and Kinesis Freestyle 2 (ergonomic keyboard). The mouse basically fills the same role of allowing me to keep my hands at the keyboard while also being extremely comfortable to use long-term and as precise and easy to use as any mouse.

The Shura looks really cool though, thanks. I might get one.
The debugging tools and symbols are mostly available, but that we can't verify why these bugs happen or fix them is down to the closed-source nature of Windows, then, isn't it?

Another pipe dream to add to the pile: open-source Windows.
Probably some proprietary part of the process
Uninformed in this case really means "mislead".
Yes, this is why I turn off search in Spotlight (also for privacy).

For window management, please consider using the Rectangle app or some other keyboard window manager. Otherwise, I believe its possible to long press on the maximize button to put your windows on the left or right half.
Not sure if it is strictly better, probably not, but it is actually damn close to being better in most domains and not worse in the others. I've been developing a GUI app in Rust, and even though this is an area considered widely a very bad fit for a borrow checker and a non-OOP language like Rust generally, the borrow checker was never an issue for me (and it still helped in a few places to get e.g. concurrency right). An occasional Rc/Refcell here and there does not outweight the other advantages. Definitely not any worse than Java Swing in terms of productivity, but way better in terms of the end result (which launches in 0.1 seconds, has no visible lags and uses native window controls).
Almost all of those Russian exports go by sea, not land. They’re coming from the wrong end of Russia and the rail links have very limited capacity. China has been trying to get that upgraded as part of belt and a road, but it’s been slow going and far more expensive than they thought and much of the capacity that does exist goes through the stans. A decent capacity gas pipeline only got approved after the Ukraine war and will take a decade or more to get operational.

Drones are too slow and too short range to be anything more than a near coastal threat. China’s sea lane supply routes stretch from south China all the way to the Persian gulf, Suez and round Africa. Only a real global navy can secure shipping across that sort of territory, and only the USA has a real global navy on that scale these days.

Also where are all the Chinese naval bases to support such operations? The US and its allies have naval bases peppered over that whole area. China has one in Djibouti. It’s their only overseas naval base.
Changing scoped CSS variables using JavaScript
Don't listen to most of the people here. Perl? What are they talking about. It is a concatenative shell. Think forth.

That said, the examples could be better explained just like you did here now. The examples are not bad but things like the f iterator probably needs some explaining.

I really like the idea. A more simple shell language is something I've wanted. Either lisp or forth would work but the basic issue is that bash and the rest are so complicated and with so many special things you have to know. Doing anything other than most basic shell scripts is horrible.
well, it certainly looks like the cap leaked. new caps don't usually do that even if they're crap. It's also interesting that it was the same one each time, seeing as how all those caps are identical. i do think you made the right call, if it was some sort of glue to prevent vibration, it would be on all of them (it's definitely not conformal coating)
the problem is not smartphone but people without self control

you can use smartphone exactly same way as dumbphone and still have smart features available when needed

problem with dumbphones is mainly horrible camera, so you would need to carry camera if you wanna capture something, smartphone with self control solves this issue, nobody forces you to use anything but Phone and Messages apps and you will still have great camera and GPS, which are both lacking at dumbphones

if you use phone this way you should have pretty great battery life even with smartphone, you can choose some power efficient SoC combined with huge battery, for instance in Sony Xperia 10 IV, which is also relatively compact (narrow, but longer)

if you wanna save your time delete all social media apps and preferably also block these sites in browser, then also turn off notifications for everything but Phone and Messages, eventually Email if you need and your problem is solved

if you wanna go a bit more extreme you could use custom ROM without gapps, but honestly as someone using this config for almost decade I am hardly limited by apps because pretty much everything works even without gapps

Hence why I embrace the FP stuff that lands on Java, C# and co.

It might not be as nice as having the original package, but it is good enough approximation while using boring technology (TM).

I've been giving it one star consistently since it was introduced. It's still shit. I'd love to know what happens to that feedback.

I once had a teams bug wherein I couldn't join a call whenever Google Chrome updated as it would fail the version number check and give me an error telling me I needed to use Google Chrome. I took a screenshot of this patent insanity and sent it to Microsoft support. A bit of discussion later and the response was something like "we know that Teams is continually evolving software and is not perfect at this time".
Not sure why the down vote. The OP was talking about a supposed undercover FBI agent he MET at Burning Man. The subject after was not about Burning Man.
Testing the pipelines is a thing as well. But pretty tricky to set up. You basically need to run dockerized actions locally for that. Not impossible and I've seen some attempts to do that. But I can't really justify spending a lot of time on this stuff.

The kotlin scripting support for github actions that I mentioned addresses things like typos, refactoring, and IDE tooling. Try it, it's pretty nice and easy to use. We actually have an integrity check as part of our build that runs the kts script to verify the yaml file stored in the repository is consistent with what the script generates.
Using a new instruction none of that would be an issue. And as someone pointed out, on x86 it wouldn't even be a new instruction, INTO already exists. But apparently it didn't make it in x64 because nobody used it :/
It used to be not uncommon for some ISPs and corporations/schools to run transparent caching HTTP proxies. I don't know how much of that still exists, but anything helps.
Why not run an amiga as your daily driver, then?
Exactly this. We are having quite complex pipelines and almost weekly basis we introduce some regression bugs there or change the rules so that they don't work anymore properly. It takes around 20 minutes to run the whole pipeline and of course some jobs are only triggered when merging to master etc. The development flow is painful and slow (although we have found some tooling to run some parts of our pipelines locally).

MacOS has a system for adjusting process priority based on what the user is doing. Whatever program is in the foreground is high-priority, and any programs that it calls with blocking mach-port-based IPC are temporarily promoted to the same priority. This helps quite a bit with responsiveness!
