It's a little more than just a bunch of custom css classes which are granular to the point of single CSS properties. It also implements a tokenized design system - basically providing you a scaled set of units.

You don't have to remember whether you had a 4px or 0.5rem or 4% border radius on your buttons, you just have to remember sm, base, lg, xl, or full. You don't have to remember the scaling of your fonts, you just use the same nomenclature.

This:

1. Creates a more cohesive codebase where most everything is using the same units (I've never worked on a project where there wasn't a rampant intermixed use of em, rems, px, and vw/vh -- except on tailwind projects)

2. Creates a more structured component feeling -- you don't ever run into the cases where border radius is off by 1 pixel or widths are using different units

3. Creates a more cohesive design feeling -- text sizes are balanced with eachother, widths are balanced nicely, colors grade smoothly, etc

I was a long holdout on tailwind. I always say it as just another way to write css except on one line (css golfing). Either I was ignorant in the beginning, or it changed along the way, but by the time I started using it around v3 I couldn't believe I was holding onto CSS for so long.

That's funny, the Gen 11 has only just been released a few days ago. Wonder if it's different enough to have problems with Linux.

Changing the product category shouldn't "get flagged eventually" after many people have already been scammed. There is no reason why such changes can't require review by Amazon except that Amazon doesn't want to pay for that.

> Theres no easy way to be fraudulent on amazon, the cost of market entry for sellers is rather big.

It's easy enough that fraud (for example recycled listings with old reviews) is common enough that many people, including myself, have run into it.

> Mislabeled products and bad account health have terrible consequesnces for sellers.

Not enough that it isn't widespread.
>But just how good are the new AIs at approximating human consciousness? Consider the bar that recently advertised a drink special with the following terms: “Buy one beer for the price of two and receive a second beer absolutely free!” To any human, this is obviously a joke. The classic “buy one, get one” special is reformulated to cancel itself out. It is an expression of cynicism that will be appreciated as comic honesty, all to boost sales. Would a chatbot pick up on any of this?

ChatGPT flips into bullshit mode and interprets it as a straightforward offer; GPT4 grasps the humor and identifies it as a marketing strategy, and proffers several reasons why such a strategy might be effective (icebreaker for customers, encourages social media engagement, promoting a "quirky" laid-back atmosphere). It's fun to watch AI skepticism get rebutted in real time. Frightening too. We really have no idea what's about to hit us, do we...

It does not sound lik a highway.

Around here, highways are opposite lanes separated (and usually multiple, with very very few exceptions), banned slow traffic, no single-level intersections, usually fenced off wildlife.
The original model is that software developers don't package their software for distributions at all, at best they provide helper scripts that the distribution maintainers can use to do that. That's why distributions are typically either giant volunteer-run organizations like Debian or companies like RedHat or Canonical.
StratusGFX: An open source 3D rendering engine I wrote with C++17 and OpenGL 4.6
Today I was able to open source StratusGFX. I have been working on it for a while as a hobby research project to learn about modern engine and graphics programming.

It is built using C++17 and OpenGL 4.6. You can find a feature reel here:

https://ktstephano.github.io/rendering/stratusgfx/feature_re...

Here are some of its current graphics and engine features:

-> Physically based metallic-roughness pipeline

-> Realtime global illumination

-> Raymarched volumetric lighting and shadowing

-> Cascaded shadow mapping

-> Deferred lighting

-> Mesh LOD generation and selection

-> GPU Frustum Culling

-> Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)

-> Filmic tonemapping

-> Fog

-> Bloom

-> Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing (FXAA)

-> Pool allocators

-> Multi threaded utilities

-> Concurrent hash map

-> Entity-Component System (ECS)

-> Logging
Careful with the Dell, it's not sunshine and rainbows there either. Got the XPS 13 9310 in the Dev Edition (that is, with Ubuntu pre-loaded). I'm using that machine for Pentesting, so I went with Arch (+ Black Arch).

Anyway, I already summarized this 7 months ago on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32562329

[...] I'm not too happy with the Linux support [in the 9310] as well. I replaced Ubuntu with Arch (was the plan anyway) and had to fiddle with the fingerprint sensor, plus the WiFi is not suitable for pentesting (but worked out of the box on Arch). Bluetooth causes lockups, so I disabled that (maybe fixed with recent kernels?). Not exactly what I expected from a laptop that's sold with Linux. Next one will probably be not Dell.
[end quote]

Maybe it's much better with the 9370.
I meant to say on average. Add up the fuel and maintenance for that corolla over a 20 year period, plus its initial sales cost. The EV is cheaper over 20 years.

If they barely drive it and nothing ever goes wrong, they should still be spending several thousand a year on fuel and regular maintenance tasks, on average, over time. If they aren't then either they aren't doing the suggested maintenance or aren't driving it much at all, or both.

The EV uses cheaper fuel and its maintenance cost is significantly lower.

Again: the initial cost of the EV is greater. It's the cost over time that is lower, because ICE vehicles cost more over time. Even taking a used car into account, its average cost over time is greater.
If not having to clutter code with memory semantics isn’t enough of a case, I could gush about UFCS abrogating the need for interfaces, or Nimble and the dead-simple module and export system (and not needing to scatter ‘pub mod’ files all over the project), or the choice of any number of useful GCs or to forego GC, or the very quick compiler presenting very powerful, sensible options and making things like static linking trivially easy. This all blew my Rust experience out of the water.

But it’s ultimately an uphill battle. Nim has no marketing budget. It’s comparable to any language introduced in the 90s going up against Java. There is a zeitgeist of “cool” around Rust that means many tools will be written in it regardless of how much grassroots rooftop shouting anyone does about Nim. I think too many people assume we all live in a world of perfect information and rational decisions, but that just isn’t the case.

Really interesting read on i18n.

I always think of implementing i18n as incremental effort. What this post has mentioned is definitely a worth noting while preparing UI with complex grammar but implementing languages is always with 1-2 languages and then market expansion follows and we pick up more languages.

Such deep dive in linguistics is definitely a good plus along with good understanding of i18n tools/libraries.

What translation managers do you know/use that helps in aiding with the complexities of particular grammar?
Conversely, `pacman -Syyuu` doesn't complete reliably without user intervention, which is far from ideal. I say this as an Arch user - the expectation that I'm going to manually attend to package upgrades in practice leads to me using outdated packages
There are plenty of projects to semi-automatically produce packages for a large number of distributions starting from just a git repo of the software to package.

Sure, packaging software is a bit of a thankless task, but with enough automation, packaging thousands of bits of software on every git commit should be doable by just a few volunteers.
Ubuntu has a much more aggressive 6 months release cycle, it's not nearly as outdated as Debian sometimes can be.
They don't work fine when they're months and sometimes years behind the current versions. It's a huge maintenance burden for everyone--debian package maintainers, upstream maintainers fielding tons of confused user questions, etc.
I'm not sure which major distro doesn't have "built-in support for Windows software through PlayOnLinux and Wine"

> Choosing a distro is basically choosing a DE and package manager these days anyway

What distribution doesn't support at least half a dozen desktop environments these days?
There's a Pareto effort, of course. If you release Debian and Redhat packages, you cover 80% of the user base. It's not hard to maintain, if you compare to building msi installers. Further, the process of generating packages for derivatives of debian or redhat can be mostly automated, so user coverage is bound to grow if your package is popular.

As for root requirements, what you are asking for are (non privileged) user installable packages. Packages that install only to the user account. This feature doesn't exist, but it'd be a much saner approach than snap/flatpak.
You can overdose with everything. I use half an aspirin once in every 12 months. This is the only drug I ever use 'regularly' and I feel an immense impact: I sleep 12 hours from this half-portion because I my body is not used to any drugs.
I live in an apartment building with chargers in the underground carpark, so that's where I usually charge. It's cheaper than public chargers, but not quite as cheap as a home one.

Having said that, fast charging is still cheaper than running an ICE, as I mentioned in the parent comment.
Apple really isn't all that. Technically, much meh. Mindshare/Fashion statement is where it's at.

That can change.
What I really want is for Nix or something like Nix to become standard.

We can very easily mimic flatpak and snap by wrapping a nix closure in bwrap.

You can have the choice to sandbox it or not with Nix. And you can easily compose it with other software.
On the sampling side there is
quality scientific evidence that cd level sampling can lead to audible ringing. The theory here in that more room is needed for a gentler rolloff in filtering. 192 kHz is overkill but this might suggest that 96 makes sense.

Wow what a great idea! This car kinda looks like they are using a Chinese partner to do design and/or creating the build process. Seems like this segment could really use a Tesla like competitor. There has got to be more they can do in that $9k budget to deliver the very best micro car. They can't possibly be squeezing out the best that the LFP battery can offer. I guess maybe their potential budget or scale is limiting what they can deliver to the market.

The only way to fix this is to ban fractional reserve banking (FTR: we have now something even worse than fractional reserve banking because now the deposit guarantee required is 0%, which means it's not even a fraction anymore). Good luck with that.

I learned cursive first, but then when I was young, moved country to somewhere that taught printed instead, my pen was taken away as my writing was "too small"and had to write with a pencil again, i was actually far ahead in literacy skills compared to my peers as school started younger in the previous country.

I think I've always had a bit of issue with my writing, I never liked printed handwriting and stuck to cursive, but I was forever paranoid it was unreadable to others. So if I have to write in case where others are going to read it, I just write in all caps.

I rarely right nowadays, and my cursive has definitely suffered, it's still readable to me, but does not look as neat as it used to.
>What distribution doesn't support at least half a dozen desktop environments these days?

Most usually come out of the box with official support for only 2 DEs. Of course they can theoretically support every one out there if you manually install them.

This. Also bzr. They seem to want to control their projects completely and so even when they have good tech they lose out to more open, community developed, equivalents that build wide engagement and momentum.

I honestly don't understand it, you would have thought they would have learned by now that they don't have the engineering resources to do everything by themselves.

Compare that to Red Hat who always try (and sometimes even succeed!) at developing projects with the community and are far more successful at getting their projects adopted (I know people don't like them, but you cant deny they are effective at it)
Big ups for 950! This will get rid of a lot of unnecessarily transparent text in my codebases (black/95 etc).

Edit: seconding sentiment of thanking the tailwind team <3
Snaps/Flatpacks/other binary-containerised stuff is one of the major reasons why I abandoned Linux distributions after 22-odd years (1999-2022), and am now a happy Apple user (the other one being abandoning X11 in favour of Wayland, and a switch to laptop-first usage, on which Linux still has horrible power-consumption).

Linux distros have a history of abandoning useful, well-understood technology for fads that then cause power users all kinds of headaches later-on (e.g. by cluttering output of useful tools like mount). Eventually, power users just lose the will to adapt, and move on.

Could I have just switched distros, or compiled my own stuff? Sure. But I am no longer a student. I am become a mid-40s guy who is becoming aware his lifetime is not unlimited and can be spent better than learning the ropes of a new system.

In the time of Jenkins et al the burden of creating bistro-specific packages is negligible.
Basic setup: point it at a folder of PDFs, have it recurse in and read them all, then ask it questions like:

* Summarize these papers on chimpanzee cooperation in the wild. What other papers should I be reading?

* Suggest an interesting master's thesis topic on the early modern economy.

* How good are polygenic scores at predicting educational attainment, and how has this developed over time?

Bonus: integrate it with e.g. google scholar, so it can go and find and read new papers.

Pricing: it is probably easier to start selling this to individual academics. Then when you've got a compelling product and the word is out, you could sell it to the whole lab (at a much higher price because people can put it in their grant budgets).

Gotchas: privacy. Nobody wants their hot unpublished paper to be scooped by a large language model.
If my understanding is correct, it means you can’t really use unencrypted protocols even within an intranet or home network when it is wifi-based, which is kind of a pain due to certificates, and for example DNS typically being unencrypted.

I never broke a Debian install beyond repair, and I've used it for a couple of decades. Even when doing some really off the charts stuff, including powering off a system mid dist-upgrade. Apt is really really solid and well documented/community supported.
Thats a bug of apt... There should be an apt fix-my-system command that just looks at the state of everything, and figures out how to get everything back towards a working system.

And make sure it keeps a log of everything it did so it can be rolled back if it doesn't work as promised.

> habitually writing quickly

This was my guess. We are all in a big hurry.
To put things into context, snaps were created before flatpak: in a sense, RedHat wanted to go at it "alone" (or at least separately from Canonical) with xdg-app/Flatpak. These ideas were already present even before those times and outside of both RH/Canonical, so it was more of a who's committed first.

Basically, Ubuntu phones were using click packages (predecessor to snaps) back in 2011 and 2012, with snapcraft shipped in January 2013, whereas xdg-app (later renamed to Flatpak) was started in December 2014.

Another thing to consider is that Canonical is orders of magnitude smaller than RedHat, and they do have a problem getting the community involved, but part of that is the size and limited time their developers have.

Now, even as a long time Ubuntu fan, I'll probably be switching to Debian just because I dislike the snap upgrade model.

Mate, have you seen how much money onlyfans girls are raking in from just talking to simps or other lonely and desperate men online? Can be as high as millions USD per month. And they don't even do any explicit nudity for their money, they just send ludes and texts. And the texts are usually written by some people the girl hired since she can't reply to all of them. Those guys are getting taken to the cleaners.

Seems like a niche that could be filled via an AI for cheaper. ChatGPT-3 had some awesome humor before it got lobotomized to be a mundane question answering drone. Could probably replace some standup comedians too.
Yeah, take too much paracetamol and you die, literally, of liver failure, which is not that hard to do. Take too much ibuprofen is survivable. Taking 20+ ibuprofen at once will give you nasty stomach ache but you will probably not die. The fact people do not know this difference is why overdosing is such a big problem with paracetamol-based pills. They look identical yet one is pretty much a toxin...it very easy to confuse them.
