They're probably just responding to demand. Preinsyallef Linux would only be appealing to newbies or people whose OS preferences happen to match what the laptop seller offers. Anyone who's been using Linux for a while likely doesn't think installing on a new laptop is a big deal and also has idiosyncratic preferences on how to do it.

Yup! I always thought it was me staying inside more as I got older, but I rarely see butterflies and bumble bees anymore.

People by and large do not exercise loyalty to their employers. This is why companies pay "sign up" bonus, so people could switch jobs over a relatively small bump (otherwise you'd lose a month or two of salary, which would push you into a net negative for almost two years over a 10% bump), and why the bonuses/RSU grants vest on a schedule (so you always have some money to lose when you resign).

Companies that work on loyalty do not have anything of the above, as their loyal employees won't be persuaded by a bigger TC number. Their TC is not high and they are not public too. It would be bizarre for somebody who went to Google or other such company because of the TC (likely applying to multiple jobs out of school or resigning from the previous job) to expect loyalty from the employer.

There are no zero impact options here. The report is a bit hyperbolic on the other options (storing it for 787 years would be a 1/2^64 reduction which seems unnecessarily long), but overall eminently reasonable.

I agree with where you're coming from - companies creating environmental disasters/harm, walking away with profits, while leaving everyone else to suffer their externalities. But this does not appear to be that.
>Most developers can't work outside their developer environment set up by their company

Are you kidding me? Is this really how you see our industry? You really think that most developers literally can not do work without their company's IT setting up their machine?

Is this normal? This to me sounds like you are saying most devs are such noobs that they can't do their jobs.

I dunno--AWS's could be better without spending effort on it? The same way every other cloud provider incentivizes using their managed services?

Don't get me wrong--a number of managed AWS services are very good. RDS is, even, for a lot of use cases. But AWS forces you to consider cost versus quality when you fall in the RDS gaps, and that's a shitty way to do business. AWS relies on being the only network transit provider in town to incentivize continued use of horizontally related offerings.

This is literal anti-competitive behavior, just as browser bundling was for Microsoft. Like that's the definition of it.

Or rather than blaming people who are getting stepped on for getting stepped on, the rest of us can:

a) Admit socioeconomic mobility has plunged in the US, so when you're down, it's a lot harder to get up. Stepping on people to climb to the top was always a scumbag move but now it's a lot more consequential than it used to be.

b) Recognize that absolute meritocracy is a myth. People lacking socioeconomic status and/or one of the "it" cognitive profiles don't have the same opportunities for growth, especially when young, which changes your whole career trajectory. That is not something you can change no matter how watery you are.

c) Realize that people are intrinsically worthwhile and dismissing them as collateral damage for your profit is immoral.

d) Recognize our moral obligation to create a just society and act on it.

I know it's a lot more convenient to pretend the people you're walking on are part of the floor but that doesn't make it true.

You’re correct that so long as you don’t serve or otherwise distribute the font files or a derivation the licensing doesn’t matter. But my comment specifically referred to the “they are all permissively licensed” portion which I quoted.

San Francisco, Segoe, and many other OS-included fonts have commercial proprietary licenses, not permissive licenses as the GGP post claimed. Try to serve San Francisco WOFF2 files as a font-family src on your site and see how Apple’s lawyers react.
I mean, there have always been shills. What's changing now is the cost of shilling is dropping from dollars per comment to fractions of a cent. Troll farms used to be a lot of work to put together, but soon they'll be aaS.

Those of us who are careful internet readers have spent years developing good heuristics to use textual clues to tell us about the person behind the text. Are they smart? Are they sincere? Are they honest? Are they commenting in good faith? Those skills will soon be obsolete.

The folks at OpenAI, who are nominally on a mission to make sure AI "benefits all of humanity", have condemned us to a life sentence of fending off high-volume, high-quality bullshit. Bullshit that they are actively working to make harder to detect. And I think the first victims of that will be internet forums where text is the main signal, places like this and Reddit.

> dropped on github, and then forgot about.

I really wish GitHub would have some sort of flag for "stale" projects. I use your methods too (issues, dates, etc.), and I'm usually disappointed when search results bring up ghost projects. However, in a few instances, I found a project that was similar to an issue I was working on that went one step beyond where I was, and even though it was a ghost project, it helped. But in general, these projects don't help. I'm also disappointed that I'm thinking, "Hmmm, maybe LLMs can help..."
Forests play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, thanks for bringing light to this topic! They are critical by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon is stored in forests in a variety of forms, including in the trees, soil, and other organic matter. Here are some interesting points...

-For example did you know forests are the largest terrestrial carbon sink on Earth, accounting for about 30% of the carbon dioxide absorbed by land-based ecosystems.

-Tropical forests store the most carbon per unit area, but boreal forests and temperate forests also play an important role in global carbon storage.

-Old-growth forests can store up to three times as much carbon as young forests, due to the larger size and greater density of their trees.

-Forests can also be managed to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, which account for about 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

-Forest conservation and restoration can help to mitigate the impacts of climate change by sequestering carbon and preserving biodiversity.

-Forests can also provide other climate-friendly benefits, such as reducing the urban heat island effect and providing shade and wind protection.

-Forest carbon projects, such as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation), provide financial incentives for developing countries to conserve and sustainably manage their forests.

-Forest carbon offsets, which allow individuals and organizations to offset their carbon emissions by supporting forest conservation or restoration projects, are becoming increasingly popular.

However, in my humble opinion, i think its VERY VERY important to ensure that forest carbon projects are carefully designed and implemented to avoid unintended consequences, such as displacement of local communities or biodiversity loss.

It's correct, but it's bounded by the sum of the advertisers budget.

Google can show better ads, but the user will escape and not see the adds in the second page, so Google compensate the money.

TBH privacy isn't the concern for me... I think the US can just write off their digital lives as being a tradable commodity at this point. That should be addressed, but TikTok is like a drop in the bucket, and Congress isnt going to do anything about it for many reasons.

The concern is influence. There's nothing to stop the Chinese govt from manipulating the recommendation algo, and that goes way beyond simply deprioritizing Tiananmen Square and such. They could skew elections, amplify issues, changes perceptions on the aggregate...

Ditch the giardiniera and put the sausage under the cheese instead of on top, and add a splash of red wine to the sauce and you'd have something more in common in the local pizza spots. Also can't forget the corn meal to keep the crust from sticking to the pan, which is just a part of the experience when you eat it.

Personally the crust looks wrong. It's not a saltine, it's slightly thicker than that. There are pizza places that do that style, but try ordering the pizza from local Italian places and pizza spots that aren't "famous" (or for lack of a better way of saying it - trying too hard). That ultra crispy style is not the norm.
Would sampling the JSON down to 20MB and running jq experimentally until one has found an adequate solution be a decent alternative approach?

To be fair, it's a press release about a scientific study, not a self-help blog post, but you raise a good point when you say that poor sleep patterns "just happen to me." I've always valued sleep, but often in my life, my sleep has been disrupted because of stress, anxiety, and depression. The article says the researchers controlled for "other factors that may have heightened the risk of dying, including lower socioeconomic status, smoking and alcohol consumption and other medical conditions," but did they control for stress?

The author quoted in the press release seems quite confident that we can eliminate these bad mortality outcomes by teaching people to sleep better, but another way to interpret the result is that any factor that increases stress will damage health and also disrupt sleep.

I also wonder where the author gets his confidence that "good sleep hygiene" can have such a great impact. How does he assume that "sleep hygiene" will overcome the factors causing poor sleep? Does he really believe that they've controlled for every other factor and isolated "sleep hygiene" as the root cause? My personal experience says that what he calls "sleep hygiene" helps a little bit, but it doesn't overcome the effects of stress or poor life management due to depression, and those factors have to be managed directly.
I remember being pitched this technology several years ago - although not by Nuance.

Part of the problem is that phone lines are crap for voice quality. If you're on GSM, you're using the AMR codec which - for the time - was brilliant. But it is incredibly low bandwidth. And, effectively, it synthesises speech rather than just transmits it.

So the algorithm is not getting a pure waveform and analysing that - it is looking at a partially reconstructed digital simulacrum.

The pitch that we received was about detecting stress in the human voice so call centre handlers could tell if they were speaking to a fraudster. It didn't work. Oh, sure, you can make a reasonable prediction by listening to pauses and pitches - but that doesn't account for the fact that calling up and being on hold for ages in inherently stressful.

I'm not surprised this system was fooled by AI. But I am surprised anyone bought it in the first place.

There are sampling methodology issues with this type of studies.

The main conclusion is that insecticide chemicals used for agriculture are pretty effective at killing insects (especially Neonicotinoid but probably also other classes).

A more rigorous sampling methodology would produce a different picture, with huge differences depending on the distance from highly cultivated areas.

This is not apocalypse, this is actionable, invertebrates species populations can rebound at a surprising speed in less poisonous ecosystem.

Politics should act to ban some classes of insecticides.

Not sure what "weirdos" is meant to mean in context but with regard to disagreeable people, this has not been my experience at all unless I go looking for it. YouTube comments, specific freqs in 80m band come to mind, but again, not where I typically go to look for anything interesting.

Local friends and meetups, classes, and even the academic side of the hobby are pretty amazing. Emergency drills at the local hospital are fun and I've connected with really nice people in and out of the hobby that way.

Completely different over here I guess. I've assisted people in wildfire emergencies and cell outages due to fiber optic cuts.

I've also had some close calls while hiking in e.g. sudden lightning storms in remote areas and had people on the radio asking how I was doing, if I needed assist, etc.

Seems what you shared is more about your local and family experience though? If so, don't let my take on the situation yum your yucks...
Recommendation: the Hardcore History podcast by Dan Carlin [1]. He has a series on the Kings of Ancient Persia and an episode on Caesar's conquest of Gaul.

Dan talks about this concept a lot. In his words, who invented the light bulb doesn't matter. If someone didn't do it someone else would. But what is far more interesting are these turning points in history that could've completely changed the course of civilization.

What if Alexander the Great hadn't died? Dan mentions one of the Kings of Persia was responsible for rebuilding the Temple of Solomon without which Judaism may well have died out. Then we may not have had it, Christianity or Islam. What would the world be like then? Persia came very close to conquering Greece. Roman culture and development was heavily influenced by Greece. The entire of European history turned on that moment. Or the Mongols who turned back from conquering Europe to choose a new Khan.

It's fun to theorize about these events but the best we can do is guess as to the immediate aftermath. The ripple effets mean modern history would be completely unrecognizable.

Actually they do, particularly for reading, as they separate language boilerplate from actual content.

For example, to call a function, we just use the name of the function and parentheses, rather than saying "call". This is useful, because it allows the reader to focus on what is of interest.

The preferences reason is the main one. We regularly run surveys in the community about distro preference, and we haven’t yet seen any one distro get over 30% of the vote. In response to that, we’ve written guides for setting up the top 3 most popular distros and ship the DIY Edition without an OS installed. That’s not to say we won’t ever have a pre-installed Linux option, just that our focus has been on making it easy for people to bring the distro they want.

Not great advice. Dell laptops at least ship with a specific version of Ubuntu that has all the necessary drivers and config tweaks for the laptops devices to work well out of the box. A stock Ubuntu install will result in a half-working laptop and a not great experience.

The Dell-customized Ubuntu image is pretty clean and crap ware-free anyway so it’s definitely a good idea to use that.
It upsets me this is called "Chicago" when clearly it came from further east - these "working class pizza taverns" being common across Indiana, Ohio, and PA as well. There are plenty of examples of these types of "no I started thin crust and square cut" pizza tavern places everywhere.

And even worse is that I am no historian and I'm probably wrong. But my direct experience contradicts a lot of the Chicago-washing of this article. For example Donato's in Columbus obviously made this style popular across the country far more than Chicago, and they weren't inspired by Vito & Nick's or something.

I bet someone right now is writing an article about how the pizza sandwich served at crappy pizza/bar places in the midwest was invented in Chicago too - even though it was probably independently invented in many locations.
