The interest on those loans are pretty low. To the extent that people recommend you max out your 401k before paying off your loans. College graduates have lifetime earnings of 500,000 or more over non-degree holders. If 80-100,000 is prohibitively expensive then something is going on where universities are failing to deliver valuable and education, and the solution is those students stop seeing university as a good investment and stop propping up failing schools on credit.
Yep, it's something that has been tried (e.g. Sony Xperia Compact series comes to mind) but stopped since it apparently doesn't sell enough.

It's also a bit challenging, since a powerful phone has higher battery/heat/etc needs and that is easier/cheaper to do in a larger device.
> I have no idea how spaces won, and I don’t really care (other than my slight annoyance that I will get over, eventually). Does anyone know?
I think, the reason is no one really care. But a common convention is better than everyone use their own style. It was one of pointless holy wars of code styling from a previous century. It is still not completely dead in a C world, but newer language just impose common conventions on everyone, so no more point of arguing should we use 8 spaces indentation, or 4 spaces, or tabs, or should we place a brace on a separate line, or whatever.

Those who deeply cares of these things can fine tune their editor to replace spaces with tabs or vice versa, so on-disk format would conform to conventions, while keeping a complete freedom for editing. But for the most of people it is not important enough to go for such lengths to preserve their preferred style of editing.

One of alternatives should have won and spaces have won. Probably due to a chance. Probably not. But why to bother? We ended with a better world were no one is arguing that their style is better then others'.
3x27" 4k monitor at 150% scaling seems to be the sweet spot for me. It strikes the balance of text clarity and desktop resolution. I use the center one most of the time, and the one on my right for supporting tasks. My left one monitors stuff (terminals, sysmon, etc.) as well as my music. I use virtual desktops to separate the task I'm working on. I couldn't go back to a single screen, much less 1366x768.

I'm often dividing my center and right monitor into vertical splits (supported by Windows snap feature).

I tried for a long, long time to use a tiling WM and realized it is just too many compromises in order to use it efficiently. Many applications are not really compatible unless you're willing to switch your entire workflow to using mostly CLI applications. If you're using a dynamic one, you're still moving windows based on priority, and on a regular tiling WM (i.e., i3), you still need to move windows around. Mouse is still the fastest way to resize/move a window.

With window snapping, this is more or less a non-issue these days (Windows 11 is still sufficient when it comes to multiple monitors as I'm able to move my window from the right one to my left with Win + Arrow). I can still alt-tab.

I can't use a 40" 4k screen because it's too large, and it's more about division of screens than resolution alone. I also like the improved clarity that 150% scaling brings me on a 27" screen.
More space between the up and down arrows for us phone users.
> yeah like an example from centuries ago a world away is relevant.

"I don't like where this is going so I'll just arbitrarily disqualify the line of argument even though it's logically valid."

> Situation in Syria or "democratic" Iraq is probably more illustrative

Cynicism is a hinder to progress. Reality is messy, but if we tell people to stop aspiring, things can only get worse. Tunisia after the revolution has had its problems but it's still freer than it was, for example; same for Algeria. Chances are even going from a theocracy to a secular dictatorship on the Egyptian model, for example, would be a significant step forward.
The thing is, we appreciate art not just based on qualities of the final product, but also based on how it was created.
That is the only plausible interpretation. It doesn't say it plays it well. Could just be a few neurons to wiggle the wasd keys.
Did cameras replace painters?

I think art/performances are about what they mean to you. You can listen to a recording of a classical orchestra with a headset at home, but it's not the same experience as going to a live concert. And I don't see a handmade woodwork the same as an industrial one. Context matters a lot.

I'm certain artists will find a way to use AI, but it will not remove the need for the artist to make art. Just like I can take photos with my camera, but that does not make them art.
> If an artist can be a hobbyist the way many of us are amateur musicians…

There are so many definitional and semantic struggles around who gets to call themselves “artist” or “hobbyist”. Among the most fraught involves money, as if you don’t get to call yourself an artist unless you derive your primary income from what would otherwise be called art. I’m more interested in your commitment to create, to inspire, and to present something deeply individual in what you create.
I have an ultrawide, all I can tell you is to look for extra freedoms. Mine has 4 freedoms: up-down, tilt, rotate and turn and I really use all the modes especially vertical position.
I guess I'm bored enough to reply to this. Different people have different needs, end of story.
You didn't have to convince me that using Flatpack is awful, but now I have one more written evidence of just how awful it is. Unfortunately, I too need to modify evdev file to get the keyboard layout I want. I'm not going to build RPMs to do that.

Unrelated to above, my last experience with Fedora some years ago was running fedup only to discover that it had some Python syntax error on an unlikely path (something like a misspelled error type when handling errors) which broke mid-upgrade. And that was probably the third upgrade which broke the system to the point that wiping and starting fresh was easier than trying to fix the broken parts.

My experience is likely very out of date though. Today, I maintain software that deals with configuring and installing RHEL / CentOS / Rocky / SLES (but not Fedora). I don't know if I want that approach to be the approach I use on my personal computer. I don't like the tooling. There are too many levels in it, and every now and then it breaks in the ways that are very hard to deal with (eg. the BerkleyDB code of RPM stores some cursor information into its database and tries to reuse it on subsequent launches, but fails if some part of the database was modified while not touching that cursor, which invalidates it). The later isn't usually a difficult fix (just delete the whole database state file), but it's annoying that this problem has been there for ages, and if this happens as a part of some other automation step, then this may put you in some half-finished state hard to make progress from. Similar problems with getting dnf to reliably discard some stale info.

Also, I feel like the distro doesn't have a "character". I mean, if I want new shiny stuff, then I'm not getting that. If I want old reliable, still not getting it. Great flexibility? -- still no. Great defaults that need no intervention? -- still no. It's an OK distro, but there's plenty of that around.

He might get or feel bullied over other things. The iPhone might just be the thing that you as a parent can help him with, just by throwing money at the problem. Not all bullying can be solved with money, it just happens to be the case here.

> I also stop using dual monitors when switching to dwm (for 10 minutes) then awesome. Because fiddling with config files to get dual monitors + tags right

I'm a dwm user with three screens, and there is literally zero extra configuration that's needed to get it working with multiple screens. The three screens have independent tag sets, and it Just Works.

My problem is rather the same as the author of the fine article's, that dwm's two column model doesn't fit very wide screens (>2500px) all that well.
Interestingly, I have found out that there is a lifetime threshold, especially in blogs. I often bookmark relatively new content only to find out that six months later it has 404ed. But then you bookmark some old article and find out ten years later that it still is there, regardless if the blog is still alive or not.

Flash forward to a few weeks ago, I tried installing good ol' 7.3 again and it wouldn't even finish the installer...

I don't remember if there was a trick to it, or whether bit rot and architecture changes make it not installable anymore.

Articles written in 2023 should not be recommending Hostgator.

Cloudflare Pages, Github Pages, Gitlab Pages, Netlify, etc, etc. It's all free at this level. Vastly distributed and they can all use CI/CD to build static-site-generator configurations for you, if you want that.

It's not about the money. Hostgator has been a recurrently awful host over the past 21 years, cutting people off as soon as they get popular, downtime when they overoversell their service. They're a relic, alongside Dreamhost, Bluehost, GoDaddy; the type of host we just don't need any more.

The rest of the article is right: you may not need anything more than HTML+CSS, but life is a lot easier if you don't have to build it yourself. I'll take Astro + Git + Cloudflare over "gen.php" + FTP + Hostgator any day.

7.6 second seems too much to be just loading a value from disk
That approach is fundamentally broken because binaries from one distro aren't guaranteed to be compatible with binaries in another distro. Heck, even binaries from the same distro at different points in time can be incompatible with one another. There'd be incompatibilities across ABIs, compile time feature flags, system paths, and much more. There are plenty of assumptions about the system baked into binaries that aren't always trivial to fix.

Automated conversion can be helpful if you don't have access to the source code though. There are plenty of examples running proprietary software on unsupported distros using this approach. However, because of its shortcomings, it shouldn't be used when the source code is available.
> I don’t really understand, from the developer perspective, your concerns about macOS?

It is not an OS that is made for power users. The UX is for non-technical people mostly, with vague errors that try (and usually succeed) to hide any details from you, making many things thoroughly undebuggable. When something doesn't work, best case scenario is "try turning it off and on again" (e.g. if iPad screen extending doesn't work and there is absolutely no information anywhere on why, what prerequisite you're failing. The button just isn't there and that's it, deal with it. I had to restart both devices for it to work; another fun one is "a USB device is consuming too much power and has been shut down, replug it" without saying which device and without any way to detect which device (they all still worked)).

Also the lacking facilities around basic stuff for developer productivity like window management and containers.
So you're saying darker skin prevents the body from producing vitamin D? (Not saying it doesn't, I just didn't know.)

Also, what does lactose (in-)tolerance have to do with… anything? To my knowledge, the fact that lactose tolerance is that common among Europeans is largely a result of thousands of years of domesticating dairy animals. Not all light-skinned people in the world are automatically lactose-tolerant (or "are more likely to have genetics allowing for lactose tolerance throughout life" as you say).

Wikipedia agrees:

> Lactase persistence evolved in several populations independently, probably as an adaptation to the domestication of dairy animals around 10,000 years ago. Today the prevalence of lactose tolerance varies widely between regions and ethnic groups. The ability to digest lactose is most common in people of European descent, and to a lesser extent in some parts of the Middle East and Africa.

Same, from a working class background, can't really call myself "working class" anymore, but the upbringing remains. I refer to myself as a "programmer", and when speaking to people who revere what we do I explain that the majority of programmers are effectively "digital plumbers".

I have a CS degree (first class, from a very respected uni) and still wouldn't class myself as a "computer scientist", I reserve that term for those who are doing research in the field
> I wish ARM64, RISC-V, and other modern ISAs had taken DEC Alpha AXP's idea of restricting all of the privileged instructions to the firmware

This is already possible on RISC-V to some extend, by trapping privileged instructions into upper privileged modes. Everything in the ISA is made so it may be achieved cleanly. It also does not allow to detect current privileged mode, so the kernel running in U-mode and trapped on each privileged instruction would never know it's actually not in S-mode.

There is even a software-based hypervisor extension emulator based on that, that brings KVM to non-hypervisor-capable HW: https://github.com/dramforever/opensbi-h

which in this case seems to be lower growth and fewer jobs. good trade, but not one i would make personally.
The most annoying thing that prevents me from running --auto-tune on bootup is that there's no way to exclude USB devices. So if I boot when docked, the mouse will stop working when I don't move it for a few seconds and I need to click to make it work again. And no, unplugging it once is not an acceptable solution.
Hah, I fought a battle for months at a Nordic automotive OEM, to try to stop them from overusing "fora", to no avail. They were so convinced that it was the proper word to use, they also used it in singularis, as in "We will bring that up in another fora", often then also referring to a single meeting to be held in the next day. This is only one tale out of many on how corrupted the corporate Scandinavian English can be, and sadly, since being essentially marinated in this parlance, I can probably only detect and reflect of a fraction of the linguistical felonies committed around me, and worse: by myself.

I offer machine/deep learning consultancy: happy to help you understand the state-of-art research and translate models implemented in recent papers into production code.

I can only work part-time (either regularly a few days per week or larger but fixed blocks of time), because I have ongoing research projects in machine learning that I need to finish, though I can work on these remotely if I need to relocate.

I have two distinct graduate degrees, one in CS and one in pure mathematics and an eye for detail, which is crucial when it comes to doing a sensible implementation of certain neural networks.

I also have expertise managing groups of data scientists and reseachers to pull of bigger scientific projects. My latest one was about about engineering and LLMs about which I'm particularly excited: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.13867.

2. Allow Flag only with provided reason/user name visible to everyone to stop abuse of this feature.

3. Stop changing color of any comment or collapsing them based on some score.

4. Allow sorting comments at least by time and score.

a more principled objection to the current situation is that you are against volatility.

Um, what? Last time I saw an automatic, or heard of a friend driving one, was 2004.

The "unworthy" meaning has been lost over time in Latin derived languages, the Italian "invalido" is (was) an official word to mean someone that for any reason was not fit for work, typically, but not only, soldiers wounded in the war and workers wounded on the job (amputees).

It was also common (with no negative connotation whatever) to extend the term to people with mobility issues, to blind people, etc.

It has been replaced first by "disabile" (disabled) and later with the more politically correct "diversamente abile" (differently able) which is (IMHO) really terrible.

The latest euphemism is "persona con disabilità" (person with disability) which makes even less sense.
And to be fair, reader macros are a pretty contentious feature in themselves, as they can be used for great evil. I was mainly making the comment to be educational. Your work here is impressive regardless.
Here's a paper I really like – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6880188/ – they looked at the brains of four groups of children – those with a primary diagnosis of ASD, ADHD, OCD and the "typically developing" ("normal" children with no diagnosis at all). They used machine learning to assign the children to clusters, based purely on brain imaging and test results (IQ and behavioural scales) – without any reference to the diagnostic labels. The 10 clusters they got had poor overlap with the diagnostic labels – see especially figure 3 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6880188/figure/...

I don't think their research is at all the "final answer" to what is "really going on" – it needs replication, and you might get different clusters if you added more diagnoses – but let's just pretend for the moment it is. People with an ASD diagnosis were in all 10 clusters, so who knows which one you would be in. Now, given your emphasis on "I am different", maybe you are in one of the clusters which is "further from normal", such as 8 or 9 or 10. But, whatever "you have", it would be clear that (1) plenty of people who "have ASD" don't "have what you have", (2) unless you happen to be in cluster 10, the sole ASD-only cluster (which only had 10-15% of ASD), some people who "don't have ASD" do "have what you have". Doesn't it therefore follow, that whatever it is, "autism" or "ASD" or "Aspeger's" isn't a good label for it?
The way this technique combines knowledge of mechanical and human optics is really fascinating.

Of course the calibration could also be done by recording an image to film and developing it, but it would be very slow and inconvenient. This technique is literally using the film-like qualities of the retina, which has just enough permanence to record the required pattern. Genius.
