> Like the volume controls on my keyboard don't work

Perhaps some dockapp will work? Window Maker does not really handle volume controls itself, but you can use some other application for that stuff. My USB headset's volume controls do work but AFAIK that is done via Pulseaudio.

> some loading screen windows for some games flicker like hell... I'm sure these are solvable.

Not sure this is a Window Maker issue, perhaps it is some issue with the game or with Wine/Proton that if you use a compositor it masks it?

I often use Gamescope for games that do not work with Linux desktop nicely (also lets me switch virtual desktops seamlessly). I have my own fork of gamescope[0] that allows remapping keys which helps a lot with some indie games that do not do proper remapping too. Note though that this is almost two years old out of sync with Valve's gamescope (i should try and bring it up to date at some point).

Congratulations on the launch. The website looks great, and the product seems well thought.

But I do wonder, what is the plan to achieve VC type returns. The market seems fairly small, and not particularly growing. I would think this is a great indie, profitable business but have a difficult time imagining how it scale to become a meaningful player in the start-up ecosystem.

Could you please offer me some insights?

We've deprived kids of the future, and we've removed most places where kids can be kids.

That would at the very least be unpopular with their customers, if not outright illegal. What would it look like to be a customer at a bank that did that? Especially for something like SVB - your startup closes its funding round, they wire the money to your bank account, and the bank refuses it?
The worst case of that scenario is that the target country takes that as a sign of an attack on their economy.
Okay. Let’s get in the weeds.

You are describing lockdowns in “China” when you really mean Wuhans first lockdown, and Shanghai’s last lockdown. Guangzhou for instance was just like Singapores almost identical.

China does not require people to get the vaccine, that depends on local government policy not central government. Unless you are talking about international/returning people.

China invested in its own vaccine which was quicker and easier to keep and distribute (no cold requirement) it also turned out to be a failure. To re-pivot and set up manufacturing of mRNA that late would have been costly and still taken too long，leaving them with Covid0 as their only choice. I have seen no evidence they could have produced the required doses (initially 2 billion, and then ongoing 1 billion/quarter). If they had of tried purchasing it would likely significantly effect their economy… hard to know without understanding the pricing Pfizer were offering them.

lets Get into the real differences though:

Taiwan is an Island. Singapore is an island. The options available to you when you can effectively shutdown/control your borders lets you control people movement in a massively more effective way.

Let’s compare, somewhat comparable geographies:

- China

- Australia

- United States

Australia is a big island. So it could do a Taiwan and stop flights. But it still suffered an internal problem of people travelling between states. So what did they have to do? Super strict lockdowns.

United States also stopped flights (eventually). But its domestic and historic politics didn’t allow it to perform lockdowns nation wide, so instead it did localised ones, and spread was essentially uncontained. Lots of people died.

China suffered all the same things as the US, but could mandate lockdowns nationally. Bear in mind these lockdowns were implemented differently in every city. It saved millions of people, if the US lost 1 million with its half-assed lockdown, China would have lost more than 5 million people… insane that people are frowning at China here given their numbers were nothing close to that bad.

Most mass produce meat are loaded with antibiotics and live in pretty terrible and unhygienic environments. Having meat that's not loaded with antibiotics and mixed with unsavory parts of the animal during butchering too.

Just visit a factory farm sometime. They are pretty cruel. Even if it's removing that cruelty for the sake of our own humanity makes sense to me. It's interesting to me that the Old Testament prohibition on "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk" appears to be intended to avoid this sort of wrongness/cruelty. As in taking something that's fundamentally meant to provide sustenance and perverting it to cook the child it's meant to nourish seems pretty messed up right? Even if the goat itself doesn't care (though I think they do have some level of sentience). The effect isn't huge, but you can imagine that it produces a bit of desensitization to things that are important to our own humanity.

One thing with traditional family farms is that you gain a connection with the animals. Yes, you'll eat them but you know the cost of doing so. Modern factory farms completely remove that.

Of course, I'll continue eating regular meat due to convenience. That said, I do eat more substitute as it becomes more available.

> If a court reviews a decision of an administrative body, the court typically starts with the assumption that the decision was correct

In the US, at least, it varies considerably by the exact kind of decision and the context in which it is being applied, ranging from extremely strong deference (Chevron deference) to anti-deference in some contexts. And opposing Chevron deference was an overt priority of the Trump Administration in judicial selection, so in general it would be reasonable to expect deference overall in the US to wane for some time.
Has no idea they made more Red Dwarf episodes in 2009!
Except daily disaster news has existed for decades. At least since the first gulf war, and probably hit its peak post 9/11. This was a time where most news broadcasts led with a freaking color coded terror alert, as if it was the weather.

And yet the 2000s, which saw 9/11 as well as the biggest financial crisis since WW2, didn’t see the rapid increase in suicidal thoughts in teens, especially girls, that we saw in the past decade.
I suppose this underscores how

1. LLMs must restrict their sources of ground truth to subject matter experts or succumb to mis- and disinformation more obviously than the average person.

2. LLMs still need a subject matter expert to edit, verify, authenticate, etc. their output.
Consider the humble minivan. Seriously. I’m also in your shoes. I bike or walk most places I need to go, but I use the minivan when I need to get large things. The rear seats fold into the floor and the middle seats come out if I need the extra space. It’s about as long as a decent truck bed with those seats out, my cargo is covered (not to mention there’s more vertical space and I don’t need to tie anything down), and it gets great gas mileage by comparison. I don’t really give a shit if the interior gets messed up, and I’m sitting lower to the ground with great visibility.

They’re also easier to parallel park, as the wheels sit at the corners of the vehicle (the swing of a truck bed makes this trickier), and minivans these days have much more power than they used to. That’s to say nothing of the roof rack, which adds even more cargo opportunity. SUVs are a common alternative, but despite their size, they’re nowhere near as spacious as you hope. You might not be able to haul certain large appliances, but otherwise, minivans have all the benefits of a truck and then some, with few drawbacks.

I’ve owned two minivans and three trucks, and I’d go minivan any day.

Also, it is true that neighborhoods near the airport not in the flight path also have higher lead levels than average, but I'm not sure how that helps the case - there is elevated lead levels near airports, which can adversely affect your health.
This article has a bit of a false dichotomy for why reified generics we’re not possible. It says roughly:

1. We must make the existing ArrayList become a generic type.
2. If Java’s generic system was reified, that would be a backwards incompatible change.
3. Therefore reified generics are not possible to implement in a backwards compatible way.

Ok, sure, but if you instead a new generic collection types and leave the old ones alone, you don’t have to worry about breaking existing compiled code.

This comment about C# suggests a lack of familiarity with the approach C# took:

> C# made the opposite choice — to update their VM, and invalidate their existing libraries and all the user code that dependend on it.

All of the pre-generic C# libraries continue to exist to this day (ArrayList, HashTable, and the non-generic IEnumerable). Applications that used them never stopped working. New code uses the generic collections (List<T> and Dictionary<TKey, TValue>).

Anyways, I think the costs that Java is currently paying for non-reified generics (reflection, performance, and type safety mentioned in the article) is not worth the backwards comparability with the 20 year old J2SE 1.4. The price C# pays for making a backwards incompatible generics (mostly some minor annoyance when designing a collection class implementing IEnumerable) is worth it at this point.

P.S. ok, I do admit that C# forking the collection library is still causing ongoing maintenance work 18 years later: https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/pull/8673

Money market funds are not generally FDIC-insured. Given that the failure of SVB has made the implicit 100% FDIC guarantee a more explicit one, I'd say there's less reason to switch to a money-market fund than there was two weeks ago, not more.
This is false. Just look at amount of money pumped, it is easy to see the skyrocketing line in graphs. It is not the only but the main reason of inflation.
That’s exactly why they want you to do it with them though- so they can make you do it too their standards.
I'm also interested in this answer. I've seen running credit cards?
"The upside of MMT and 0% interest rates is that it allows a whole set of businesses to become viable. Businesses with a 1% yield are not viable with a high interest rate as it makes more sense to just buy bonds. People who can generate yield will thrive, since the expected market yield is zero. It's still a question whether this will benefit mainstream; or a bunch of tech companies that have a monopoly of tech and innovation. In this kinda world, tech and innovation are the only possible venues to generate yield, since money is widely available for anything else."
Don't think I understand the argument here. Is it causation vs correlation issue?

raja cannot fail, only be failed.

like, the people actually in the room with him don't seem that impressed. see the testimonials about his service at intel from his boss:

https://i.imgur.com/LTfYvLi.png

list of good things about raja's time here: it has come to an end. also, we are excited to announce our cafeteria "bring your own fruit to work" program will be extended throughout the week.

dude was a fuckup at AMD too, and honestly Terascale was a mess in the early days too despite eventually being cleaned up later. Once AMD sidelined Raja onto Vega and refocused onto RDNA, they started succeeding again. And all anyone ever says is "you didn't give him long enough".

He's been at Intel for five and a half years, close to 6 years. This is his baby, he ran it start to finish and it's still a mess.

He may or may not have been a great engineer (maybe he wasn't the talent on those teams and/or there were more people able to tell him no, or tone it down and work with him to develop his ideas) but either way he rose to the level of his incompetence and finally found someone who wouldn't let him fail upwards in the management track.

MLID is MLID but in this same video he basically dropped that his sources are now saying battlemage and celestial are cut down to a single small die for each generation, basically a tech demonstrator to let them keep working on it, and my guess is it's going to have all the fanfare of Cannon Lake or DG1 - these will be buried, they will serve as milestones not serious revenue products. And while druid still is slated for a full launch, that's a long way off (almost 5 years) and one can assume that if the GPU teams don't catch traction, the whole thing is going into the trash can and intel goes back to making display adapters. And none of that is particularly surprising other than, again, that they're even continuing at this at all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzV1RS5Oc6I

having your division broken into two and reorg'd into more successful units with a track record of successful execution and then having (full) revenue release of its products pushed back 5 years (during a company-wide financial crisis) so that the whole thing can be done over by someone more competent is not done lightly, this is really extraordinary, and it's remarkable that the whole thing isn't canceled. frankly it's likely a testimonial to how much of this is Raja's fault that Intel is giving some other people a crack at this.

Charlie Demerjian thinks this was an "amicable split", that's not remotely the tenor I get from that newsletter, but Charlie likes ATI, and Raja is an ATI guy. I think it's pretty telling that this dropped exactly 3 months to the day since AXG was broken apart. Raja's most likely been on garden leave for a contractually-mandated 3 months while they try to clean up his mess. Again.

But these are all tredeoffs, that make C# almost as complex as C++. Sure, there are cases where these low-level optimizations allow for better performance, but don’t forget that the more things we specify, the less freedom does the runtime have. SQL is a good example here, it specifies the what and not the how, and this makes a good db very hard to beat on complex queries.

The way I have seen it described somewhere: C# has a slightly higher performance ceiling, but a naive application may very well run faster in Java.

The difference between hardware and software is that you design hardware first, address most of the uncertainty, and only then build the thing. You can't reliably plan the design phase for hardware. Too many unknowns that have yet to be found out about. Just like with software designs.

With software, the process of designing and building are the same. Upfront you know nothing, then you start iterating and at some point you have the finished thing after you've progressively learned all the requirements. There is no separate build phase. People used to pretend there was and that never really worked. The end result of a software project is an executable specification. The process of specifying is all that ever happens. Writing a specification for the specification is not really a thing. At best people attempt partial, very incomplete and hand wavy specifications. But it's not the same thing and it typically lacks the rigor of a hardware design.

Agile hardware design is increasingly a thing as well. E.g. SpaceX is iterating on their rocket designs. This is not some grand design they came up with years ago but a specification that they keep on refining by attempting to build it and by learning from the failures. The number of iterations is not a fixed number. It's as many as they need to. They build parts, tools, and machinery along the way as they discover what they need. Very different from how rocket design used to work. And apparently a lot cheaper too.
