No, it does not, as far as I am aware.

Windows 11 requires information from the BIOS that Secure Boot is available, not that it is enabled.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Windows 11 is OK with Secure Boot capable if you are upgrading from Windows 10, but requires enabled for a fresh install, though Secure Boot can be disabled after installation.

> While the requirement to upgrade a Windows 10 device to Windows 11 is only that the PC be Secure Boot capable by having UEFI/BIOS enabled, you may also consider enabling or turning Secure Boot on for better security.

Amazon might pick it up. They also picked up Expanse after enough fan noise.

Oh my god!! I forgot I had my laptop still connected to a bluetooth speaker in a different room and totally freaked out when those lips started making faint noises through a door!
This is not so hard to believe as the OG ipod was to help boost sales of Macbooks, which were plummeting in sales. A lot of "fashion" apple devices are generally limited to using iPhones like Apple Watch and Airpods. It doesn't really make sense to buy those unless you use an iPhone already. Ran into this problem with me wife who uses a Samsung. I wanted to use watch walkietalkie so i just had to let her use my old iPhone to get it working. Sadly the walkietalkie feature is just trash.
Cool! Will check it out thanks.
Wouldn't figure the person doing stickups for iPhones would be technically savvy enough to send phishing SMSs with associated site hosting. Presumably someone in the underworld is offering this "as a service?"
> When it’s freezing cold outside, it seems crazy that I warm the air of my house and then use electricity to keep the fridge cooler

Installing ducts, etc. might take more energy than is consumed over the product life-cycle.

It would add other limitations, such as only being able to put fridges next to exterior wall.

Or most likely it'll add additional installation cost. Money perhaps better spent insulating your house better.

You'd have fewer compatible vendors to choose from. Less competition.

Flexibility is probably way more important than micro optimizations.
The desktop thing was one of my major issues.

They fucked up desktop icons. It'd be akin to purchasing a new walkman and the volume buttons don't immediately change volume up and down, instead they're more generalized buttons so you CAN change the volume up and down with them, just not by pushing them and nothing more.

Someone somewhere had an idea and an intent and I didn't give a shit and it represented a fundamental problem in their mental model of what they should be doing, so I left.

It's great that it eventually got salvaged but it should never have happened in the first place.
I find my time on HN would be better served with an option to hide green accounts with "throwaway" in the name.
They are sub-par if they aren't embracing the ecosystem. You can't use most of the features, and the lack of multipoint Bluetooth becomes painfully apparent. Also, you tend to get broader codec support with Android-targeted headphones/earbuds.

Consider Beats if you want better cross-platform support while maintaining the same audio characteristics.
The idea is that a search feature leads to harassment or spam. You could, for example, search for your favorite politician's name and hurl insults at anyone who criticizes them.

A lot of Mastodon users want Mastodon's #1 priority as a platform to be harassment prevention, even if it requires major compromises in usability.

(Another example of this is the lack of a quote-tweet (quote-toot) feature.)

Ironically, the community's response to the author of this blog post when he debuted his search tool could probably qualify as harassment - he was absolutely walloped on there.
Fantastic article. Thanks OP!
I use this trick a lot. I tend to vary between 10-20 minutes though.

I also usually give them a starting point.

"Hey I'm in the middle of something. I can chat in 15 minutes or so. In the meantime if you haven't yet, try X, Y, Z"

This helps push them to at least try something so when I ask later "Did you try X Y or Z?" They can have some kind of answer.
"Python is the new VB6." Simultaneously the greatest compliment and the worst insult I can come up with for it.
Yep, there was some really nasty stuff aimed at them - and I've known them for many years, absoutly none of it was deserved and was just hateful vitriol based on typical assumptions off an avatar.

I do get it - these people have been on the Fediverse longer and feel like it's a form of digital colonialisim, but as I've pointed out - if they keep shutting down individuals who do things in good faith, soon when the "BigSocial" comes along and does it anyway, they won't have anyone there to help speak up as they'll have blocked, defederated or just scared people off.

Also the underlying problem here is a tech one - it could be fixed by correctly implementing the "noindex" stuff and working on privacy and consent features. This can't be fixed as a people problem, and certainly won't be by shutting down any attempts to address the problem now

Also TIL that a "FOSSBro" is apparently a thing people now like to throw about.

My point is that Muslim countries, the religion or their theocracy (limited to only few countries, to be honest) is not the cause of the lack of freedom, you can see the lack of freedom and rights everywhere. The history of the Old World (Europe, Asia) is the cause, while USA made a positive change and huge leap forward with their revolution. Canada, Australia and New Zeeland inherited too much lack of freedom from UK, in my opinion, and that is visible from far and beyond. Also these countries are bragging with their democracy and liberalism, not Saudi Arabia or Iran.

They're doing the same with Mac and iPad - by denying some software on each platform, they're forcing you to buy both if you want both classes of software.

> Disabling multi path is pretty easy.

At install time?

All my attempts have failed in the following fashion:

. I boot the text only installer
. Once it runs I switch to a shell
. I edit the python code of subiquity / curtin to rip out anything that has to do with mutlipath
. I disable all systemd shite related to multipath
. I kill the installer (and systemd restarts it)
. When I get to partioning, I finally see my NVME devices instead of the weird multipath stuff
. I create a raid-0 partition on them
. The installer then fails miserably

Care to share your recipe?
> This clock solves that problem.

In English! In Dutch this would actually create a problem, as when it is 3:45 we say it is "15 before 4". I noticed that I actually struggled to interpret the wobbly clock when it was close to changing the hour.
I disagree. Sure, a naive approach wouldn't work (shift everything), but everyone's voice covers multiple octaves, so I'm sure plenty of people already know what changes need to happen if you sing in C2 but want to transpose it to C4, etc.

Just a quick math note for other readers. There's a multiplication missing on the "at least 63L of CO2". That should be 22.4L*750g/12g = 1400L of CO2 I think.
Mitsubishi Electric or Mitsubishi Heavy Industries?

I sourced opinions far and wide and in the end it seemed to be a coin toss between Mitsubishi Electric and Daikin. A lot of it comes done to parts availability, and both seem very strong in Australia.
I have this heuristic I use to determine whether someone is worth listening to, or whether I should ignore them. Look, it rejects Bill Gates! I’m very smart.

Look, everyone uses heuristics to assess the world. Turns out yours is somewhat broken. Might want to update it.
Yep. Both the intersection American 106 was supposed to take (cross 31L at K) and the intersection they took (cross 4L at J) have runway entrance lights.

According to https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/rwsl/pet/ the lights don't illuminate until departing aircraft are at 30 knots, so it's possible Delta 1943 was just beginning the takeoff roll and the lights weren't on yet when American 106 decided to cross 4L.

I simply quoted the original commenter who used these words.
I think it's even worse than that. They buy the brand of the IP and toss the rest. All they want is brand recognition to lure people in and create marketing fluff. They don't want the core fans, they're too small a group in their eyes. They want the people who have heard the title but probably never bothered to read it. There are even darker patterns like the seemingly purposeful hostility to actual fans, deliberately trying to create a media firestorm over "racist fans" and positioning themselves as the heroes who are modernizing and redeeming the outdated material so it appeals to all audiences. And they don't have competent writers because they're cheap, they don't have competent writers because they hire based on nepotism and clout. There are plenty of cheap, competent writers out there trying to make it. There are even plenty to choose from who love these foundational fantasy series and would remain true to them. They'll never be hired for one of these projects.

Indie TV is coming for them. There are already stirrings of fan made short series whose production quality can stand toe to toe with most of the AA dreck available now. Many of these are made by a single person with a vision and the 3D modelling and animation skills necessary. Their main limitation is in acting talent but style transfer will quickly put that in their hands.

I'm a fan of woodworking myself. A lot of people in my family have done it for years, so I've grown-up around it. I don't know of any books (I'll be watching this thread for recommendations myself.) As with many hobbies, YouTube has a solid set of people on all levels doing wood-working.

I'll say a few tips:

Don't cut towards yourself, or put your hand in-line with any cutting instrument.

If you are connecting two pieces of wood together, always drill a whole for the fastener through the top piece (two pieces without pre-drilling will not bond.)

Properly glued, the glued joint is in many cases stronger than the original wood bond.

Measure twice, cut once.

When you lose a tool or piece, start cleaning up the area around the work and you will likely find it.

Have some fun!
Historical supernatural fiction is not a genre with a huge established audience. The likely path to success is for the show to be excellent and organically grow from word of mouth. Which is going to take time to present itself on a top-ten chart.
I think parent’s use of “stupid” is referring to themself going on vacation and immediately forgetting their unlock code.

Regaining access to a single device that has been robbed and unlocked at gunpoint is a tough scenario. But I agree that there must be better support patterns to recognize and deal with such a scenario… the rather unfortunate thing I see here is his brother falling for a phishing scam, which yes ultimately will lose the device for good (physical access + password). That is harder to deal with from the support end, I’d imagine.
Can you give me an example of a comparable model available in the US?
In Europe, outside of the south, mosquitoes are pretty tame.

After spending some years in Italy I developed a partial immunity to mosquito bites. It lasted for about half a year.
We've cancelled our Netflix, and loading up our Jellyfin server with all those classics (legally... naturally!). And we're in S02E08 of X-Files, because it really was that good. We're also watching Julia Child, and a few other shows.

We were some of the first on Netflix's DVD library, and went to streaming as soon as they offered it. And early on, it was the best of the best. Now, it's throw-away B movie garbage you wouldn't even pay $1.99 in the Walmart's dvd bin, and riddled with shows that were great but naturally cancelled on a cliffhanger. I'm still sour about "Dark Matter". Bought from SyFy to Netflix, and summarily canceled.

I'll just wait until/if the shows are complete. And then I will acquire them. I've been done for a while, after paying waay too much and being jerked around by the media companies. Back to Yo Ho Ho. That means I can afford expensive rum :)
That thing's an eyesore compared to a duct to me.
They said it was a nitpick and your tone is really unnecessary. Please think about what kind of conversations you want to have here.
Usually stolen goods are sold to a professional fencer for a price that factors in the risk of not being able to unlock/reset and move the phone.

Some of the economics of the underworld are remarkably sophisticated. Everyone has a role and there are some parts of the supply chain that require different kinds of risk. Sometimes it’s risking cash, physical safety or personal-criminal repercussions.

Thanks, appreciate the link, I'll be back to yell at you shortly :D

...and having read it, the only thing I'd yell is that "I AGREE WITH ALL YOUR PAIN POINTS". Especially around documentation and package management.

I do like type annotations for improving the reading experience of Python codebases, even if you're not using a type checker, but trying to get people to use them consistently for new code in an org that has a large pre-existing codebase involves either a lot of carrots, or some CI based sticks, and I don't quite have the organisational influence to just drop that on people... ...yet.

Yup, I have avoided COVID this whole time by simply wearing KN95. It's really not that hard. Actually, the hardest part is dealing with ridicule and condescension from people who think I'm being "paranoid" or overly careful. Maybe if everyone took that level of precaution, we wouldn't be where we are. I set my policy when a friend's mother died quickly from COVID.. People straight up dying is pretty much a "yup I'm wearing a mask" trigger for me. The constantly-trickling-out research on COVID's effects have repeatedly validated my stance. Not getting COVID despite being in public and in crowds and near people who are just coughing into the air (maskless of course) has also validated my stance.

Here is a crazy thought:

Could streaming providers put this into the hands of the customers? What if they put the idea of "cancel or continue?" in their faces and made them vote with their feet (screens)?
They have a right to express their opinion without needing said expression to have the goal of solving world hunger.

> We compile in a Docker container of the distro. It's the same concept as having a sysroot.

It isn't the same concept as using a sysroot, as you are now using the compiler from that potentially-ancient different distribution. I see people constantly twisting themselves into knots being like "CentOS has some broken/limited build of gcc/clang so I can't use X" and it is like "if there is one thing you as a developer control it is the compiler".

> The external dependencies I mentioned are libraries like glibc or openssl, where you want to use the distro version.

I understood this: that's what you put in your sysroot (and is easily seen in the example script I showed for CentOS 6; my scripts for building Ubuntu sysroots are much more complicated as I am trying to avoid nesting docker and so now have some crazy fallback involving debootstrap and proot).

> Similarly the packages should be consistent with what the users of the distro would build themselves if they used rpmbuild / debbuild / whatever.

Ok, this is where we differ, then: I am not trying to simultaneously support users building on CentOS using "rpmbuild". I want to be able to use the latest build of C++ and Rust and Python and essentially have a "modern"/easy development stack but "target"/support other distributions so they can install my software as packages.

Given the goal of being able to provide source code that can itself be compiled on these random distributions I see the problem. I personally feel like it would still be better to work around that by requesting (which can itself be automated by your build) that the user compile their own toolchain that has more functionality, though.
I did not say anywhere that I was happier, rather I was surprised that something I feverishly would check constantly multiple times a day could disappear and I wouldn't have any problem with it or urge to get it back. It's anecdotal but I've had friends who have also disconnected and realized that it doesn't seem to change anything, most of the information you consume is crap and forgotten.
Logically (and ideally), the incoming air and outgoing air would exchange heat until they are at the same temp, which would be in the middle. So I would not expect an efficiency higher than 50% unless there is some special tech I'm not aware?
In the Australian market, the efficiency of the in ceiling or in wall units is lower than the high wall units. They are also much cheaper to buy and install.
Hm, some context here is that Apple Watch apps were — until recently — actually iPhone apps. The iPhone app was treated kind of like if you wanted to make a widget for your app, except it appeared on your wrist rather than your springboard. The whole app architecture really tightly coupled the products.

This has started to change with “set up for family” watches (which is mostly so you can give a kid a watch and no phone) but there are still lots of weird edge cases there.

I do personally wish they were standalone. If they were I would have gifted one to my father in law this Christmas. Instead he got a Garmin.
Sorry no. There are people smarter and more cunning than those three that had worse outcomes. Most generational wealth that is not protected by a standing army rarely lasts a few generations.

A lot of lasting generation wealth is from cronyism as well. For example many of the large land owners (even to this day) in England descended from folks that were involved in the Norman invasion of England. Some of those didn't directly use their 'superior genes' to conquer the land, they just happened to be buddies with William I.

There was a lot of propping up of google/fb in their early days by other wealthy investors and in the case of Google, the US government.

Feel free to continue to worship your tech gods for their superior genetics though. Circumstance, luck and timing has a lot to do with the current set of billionaires we have in tech. They rode a wave of technological innovation that they themselves didn't even invent. Well other than maybe Pagerank. That was pretty awesome. Most of the ideas were lifted from the "greatest hits" of computer science though.

In the end there has to be a 'winner.' It could have easily been a different group of people if public preference was ever so slightly different. I could be easily typing this message on a AOL browser right now if the outcome was slightly different.

This purely "genetic winner" viewpoint is super narrow viewpoint that if one is not careful can quickly get disgusting. Genes that are advantageous in one situation can be poor in another. Barring outliers, there is sometimes no "best" when talking about genetics/expression of genes. Pugs do much better around humans than wolves. Who has the better genetics?
I hate to taint this, but reading up on Fern I have to point to JavaFX. It rings a lot of similarity with what is being talked about here. There may be other frameworks also.

But JFX captures much of this. It doesn't have your schemas (its obviously based on Javas class and object system), but it does have constraints, it does have bindings (not as sophisticated as yours, but they exist and quite useful in practice). It has the scene graph, it handles contextual styling via CSS. It has its layout components, and GUI components. It even has 3D ;).

I will say about the bindings that when the graph gets large it can be fun to try to keep in your head, and, unfortunately, there's no real way to visualize it. So, when something changes (or changes in a way you don't like), it can be an endeavor to source the change and navigate the relationships.

The primary reason I mention this is just to lift it up as an example of many of the concepts you're discussing, but in "production" code, used by many, for quite some time. There may be insights there that can be mined as to possibly decisions that were made that you could apply (or not) to your work. Are the limitations of JFX done by design? Limited by Java? Limited by performance? Limited by "haven't got to it yet"? I don't know, but, anyway, just something you may want to study a little.

I wish you luck on your project!

>Unless you think his biographer writing about him after he left office was doing so still for political posturing

I believe that about most politician's autobiographies, not just Soviet ones. I wouldn't be surprised if the autobiography was written with the explicit intent to sell better in the US, Prince Harry style.

Soviet guy comes to the land of plenty, has a almost religious experience in a supermarket and shakes off his misbegotten Soviet ways, that's a Disney story lol. Of course he knew what was going on in the US and his own country long before.
