I do not really get why they would try to support both AMD and Intel .. given that these are obviously small runs. Where do they get the mainboards for this and how can they manage any testing and tuning? They do at least acknowledge that Coreboot for AMD might not be available at the time of shipping. It seems optimistic to say you can adopt it later when it is not ready yet.

Other than that, I would not mind paying a premium for a well made laptop with these specs. Still hoping System76 will get there someday.
I wish I could help you too. Isn't that the crux of the problem, you think I'm so deluded, I can't be helped, and I think the same of you. So once again, the two sides of any faith based / mystical interpretation of reality can't prove anything. I can't prove there is no soul, and you can't prove there is one. Anything based on mystical faith is just someone's opinion.

What are the odds you have it figured out? Why can't you try to prove yourself wrong. The odds are you haven't figured it out either, so why have you stopped trying. You say the soul exists, so why is the onus on me to prove it doesn't, but you don't have to prove anything.
Or rather, you only read western propaganda, while I read both western, Russian & Chinese propaganda too to get the whole picture.

Finland is considering joining NATO without Sweden. Their political process is yet to put forward a concrete decision on this matter. The Finnish Prime Minister is pushing the idea of Finland joining NATO without Sweden as they have a Parliamentary election in April this year. Obviously the opposition wouldn't like the government to benefit from that so they aren't sure if they should support this. There are some reasonable objections to this idea from other Finnish politicians (who consider the matter on the merit of the subject than from opportunistic politics) because without Sweden in NATO, Finland will have to spend more for the defence of the Baltics. Militarily too, in case NATO needs to, Finland cannot effectively block the Gulf of Finland if the Swedes are not on board (and if they are not in NATO, and remain "neutral", they are highly unlikely to participate in any such military endeavour).

As for the "Russians behind the Quran burning in Sweden" idea, that may be true. And yet that doesn't in any way matter to what I pointed out - the Swedes were very well aware that the Quran burning had been planned, and yet they didn't do anything to prevent it. Which means they allowed it with a deliberate intention to sabotage the process - either because they were pressured by the EU to announce they would join NATO to rattle Russia or they do not want to join NATO or because they aren't willing to accept the conditions imposed on them by Turkey (who wants them to end support for "terrorists" and hand many of them over to Turkey). (This is a conclusion purely drawn by me - Unlike Finland, which has around 75% support now for joining NATO, only 60% of Swedens are in favour of joining NATO. So perhaps Swedish politicians think they can handle the backlash if Sweden is unable to join NATO. Especially if they can use Islamophobia and blame Turkey.)

We'll know for sure about Finland only between April to July of this year.
Possibly.

When you get right down to it, "gender" is really just a categorization of behavioral traits. This is what we mean when we say that gender is a social construct. I mean, what are people so worried about with trans people? That they use the "wrong" bathroom, wear the "wrong" clothes, use the "wrong" pronoun? These are all arbitrary bullshit.

If we had genderless bathrooms and accepted that people could wear whatever they want and got rid of gendered pronouns, maybe we really wouldn't need special gender-affirming care.

I have it on good authority that having the "wrong" genitalia for your gender is legitimately distressing, but perhaps that is just part of the expression of the social construct of gender and if the person had grown up without the concept of gender they wouldn't care what their genitalia were. Regardless, it wouldn't be an different than any other form of plastic surgery as far as I'm concerned.

deny spotify the capability to start other processes?

although i don't quite understand your example. spotify needs network access to be useful, doesn't it? so what would blocking spotify -> curl protect against?

in general though, if a program doesn't have the capability to start outbound connections, then any child processes won't have it either. there is also a distinction which capabilities are inherited so that you can have a process with networkaccess, but without being able to pass that on to child processes.
Yes, it is. But can be the opposite too. It depends on you.

> At 16, Bechtolsheim designed an industrial controller for a company that was based on the 8008.

When I had keyboard issues I had my laptop flown out with 1 day overnight shipping and the same back to me. When the refurb I purchased has a loose hinge, I got a full refund with no hassle. When my laptop was stolen during delivery, I got a replacement sent out with a 12 minute phone call.

I think that fasting is completely different than keto/carnivore.

Do you really want to feel less hungry by replacing carbs with fat/protein?

Fasting seems to purge your system and your body gets used to digesting sometimes and being clear other times.

Also it seems fasting has aging benefits. Lowering calories leads to longer lifespan. And fasting might be one of the only ways to metabolize senescent cells (autophagy)

Good point, but he also seems to be arguing that the language has significant problems and needs fundamental change, which I don't agree with. For example, he says:

> I believe that the time for action has come
> In the ashes of Scala 2 and the Lightbend OSS ecosystem, we need a rebirth for Scala.

Then he gives all sorts of horrible grades that in my opinion aren't justified when compared to any other language. Make small things seem huge.
I don't disagree with what you say. Generally if you pick security over the conventional you are bound to face limitations for the sake of security. But podman as a product compared to docker to me looks very less mature (things like podman-compose should be included in the box 4 years on). I also get the feeling people who compare podman to docker only run wordpress as a test then call it a success without getting deep into what problems both podman and docker solve.
Same with fires. It seemed like every tesla fire was reported by the news for a while, meanwhile conventional vehicles are at least 5x more likely to start on fire.
> you can have a mid-range one for the price of a meal

Is that an expensive meal or a cheap CPU? A meal for a family?

My mental model for a mid-range CPU is an i3 (don't forget Pentium / Celeron), and even for those Intel recommends charging $109-119 for the i3-13100F (they had a similar range for the i3-10105F). Even if you go all the way back to the first generation of Intel Core cpus, the i3-530 had a recommended price of $117.

Even if you're buying used + several generations old off eBay, you're still probably paying at least $50. And, note that once you're looking at several generations old hardware, you're really not looking at a mid-range device anymore -- The i3-13100F scores nearly twice as high on PassMark as the i3-10100F, for instance, and higher than the i7-9700F.

It's still orders of magnitude cheaper and more powerful than anything from the 80s, certainly, but new hardware is not _that_ cheap.

Also, that said, I remember when the Macbook Air first launched -- I know some people who ran the numbers and were impressed they could fit that SSD + RAM + CPU + display + battery in that price envelope.
You might be able to accomplish more or less the same goal by dual licensing under AGPL and paid proprietary if you require a contributor agreement. QT (a GUI library for C++) is dual licensed LGPL and proprietary because some corporate users are uncomfortable using LGPL software (LGPL allows software to be dynamically linked but not statically linked to proprietary code).

The reason why I suggest AGPL is because it closes the "running it on a web server isn't distribution" loophole in GPL and that makes AGPL code persona non grata at Google and most SAAS companies. This license scares many companies either because they want to modify GPLed code without sharing changes or because they're afraid of having to open source other code that the AGPLed code is integrated with. This would effectively be virtually the same as a non-commercial/proprietary dual license but you'd be able to rely on the Software Freedom Conservancy's lawyers to enforce your copyrights for you and you'd have the support of the existing FOSS community.

The key however is that you have to do the contributor agreement and secure copyright or an unrestricted license to all code before merging it into your project. Otherwise offering the proprietary license option would be copyright infringement on your part if any contributor objects because you'd only have rights to their contributions under AGPL. (It's also a good idea in general to make sure any employed contributor's employer isn't going to attempt to claim copyright to their FOSS contributions before accepting the pull request.)

These are not additional sexes.

We do not, nor anything even remotely close to that.
It took me a few seconds to parse what UnitOfWork meant in this context because that’s also a pattern for carrying e.g. database transactions through to different dependencies. E.g. in C#:

using var uow = UnitOfWorkContainer.Begin();
await SomeDep.Save(foo); // internally uses the uow's transaction
await SomeOtherDep.Save(foo2);
uow.Complete();

The biggest problem about dark matter:

If it is real and supposedly so common, why doesn't it exist here on Earth? What makes our world so uniquely special? Historically scientific models that treat Earth as unique in the universe always turn out to be wrong.

If the writing and story telling of Discovery and Picard weren't so terrible so much of the time I'd be willing to consider them on their own merits as though the rest of Star Trek never happened.

I will say that the mirror universe episodes of Discovery were actually a lot of fun. Their writers may be hacks, in my considered opinion of course, but the mirror universe worked well for them. I think they should have done a spinoff that takes place entirely in that universe.
I was at Sun in the early 1990s working on Sun OS 4 and 5, and the slogan "the network is the computer" was still the slogan everywhere, and everyone in the company seemed to be on board with it. Of course, back then most associated it with Yellow Pages (NIS), NFS, and distributed computing using SPARC, but Sun was always actively looking for ways to push everything to the network.

Evolution wasn't testable for decades after Darwin's death. Continental drift's predictions are still awaiting results that won't come for another few thousand years. Newton's gravity took hundreds of years before it could be directly tested.

All those theories were merely fitting to data. Do you genuinely claim they were "unscientific"?

I repeat: the desire to reject a theory for aesthetic reasons is the "faith" side of this argument. It's OK to prefer a better theory if you have one. It's not OK to sling insults at the people who point out that it's the best theory we have.

I think you and the parent commenter are talking about the anthropic principle. It might be "derivable" but only in the particular situation in which we have found ourselves—and then it becomes less remarkable.
Now don't get me wrong I've had my fair share of failed startups. I've thrown away thousands of dollars into ideas that were never going to work and came out the other side feeling like I've learnt absolutely nothing. However... about a week ago I got a text from a friend linking me to their startup that I've seen variations of a thousand times before. It'd been launched for a while but wasn't seeing any paying customers come through the door. He was convinced that he just needed a few more weeks to clean things up and that his landing page is the greatest interface to grace the internet. As if it was only a matter of time before the subscriptions came pouring in. I text back saying "Good luck" and that's when it hit me...

Before wasting his hard earned money to bootstrap this to likely fail, he needed to hear the truth! I design for a living so I sent back another text saying "pay me and I'll roast your landing page, let's keep this transactional so there's no hard feelings". After a while he got back to me with a payment receipt and the chains were unshackled. I let loose on his landing page and roasted his countless hours of hard work, reducing the front page of his startup to dust. I sent him back over the brutal feedback and waited... the next day he responded saying "done". He had stayed up that night making the changes and when I saw the improvements he'd made I was super impressed, he did it all within a matter of hours.

I'd accidentally just validated my startup. I put my phone down and opened up Framer, a web design tool I knew I could rapidly use to build a landing page and whipped up a site in a couple of hours - Roastd.io I spent another few hours cleaning it up and thought to myself I'd post it on Product Hunt for fun. Within a few hours I'd got my first paying customer, finally! Years of what felt like an unbreakable curse clinging to second grade ideas and sinking money into them had been broken. It's been 3 days now since launch, I've got a small backlog of customers and my friend made his first sale based on my roast. Life is good.

Fair, but you certainly pay for this in other ways with apple. I can afford to buy 2-3 laptops for the price you pay for one. And in most cases those types of events never come into play.

Like most people here, I've always worked with a computer in front of me. But I just had a dream that I was working while lying on my back, with my computer above me, screen looking down.

One could also imagine a setup where you're lying on your side and facing a monitor, keyboard and mouse setup rotated 90 degrees, although how you would make the k+m stay in this position is the question.

Have you ever experimented with such unconventional work setups?
> Maybe at some point it will be more pleasant to use.

Unless there is a complete rewrite of the borrowing rules and thus breaking changes that's highly unlikely of ever happening. Instead of following what the industry promotes, the same industry that lays off thousands of people on a whim, maybe start following community projects. Do what you like most, don't expect them to change to fit your needs and wants and stop trying to get into every trend that is hot. At least that my mantra to prevent having regrets later on. Good programmers have a future no matter what language they use.
The British Highway Code uses similar terminology. Breaking a “must” rule is a punishable offence, where “should” rules are just for advice.

American politics are riddled with examples - look at the Patriot Act and the Affordable Care Act. It seems to happen most with sweeping legislation. Of course, large legislation will have additional consequences because the point is it intervenes more. The flipside is that administrations that don't pass laws are referred to in derogatory ways - they are a lame duck. We've basically forced action, any action, no matter the consequences.
Am I misreading or do they really equate swear vocabulary size with swearing frequency without providing data for this claim?

Experiments are supposed to be carefully designed. Hypotheses are supposed to be tested ethically. The doctors I worked alongside at the Transgender Center said frequently about the treatment of our patients: “We are building the plane while we are flying it.” No one should be a passenger on that kind of aircraft.

Late to the party, so no one is going to read this comment, but I can't help but wonder how much the explosion in Trans stuff is related to changing gender roles generally. We used to have fairly clearly separated roles, clothing styles, etc and I wonder if we just lack an adequate framework for sorting that out properly and it helps nudge some vulnerable individuals down odd pathways in unfortunate ways.
