I AM talking about hydraulics in my post, I even specifically mentioned brake oil, something hydraulic brakes require for a simple bleed operation.

Hydraulics are great, and I have fixed mine. The parts are NOT a problem to acquire at all. I will say, however, that bleeding them is a bit fiddly and a pain, compared to bleeding car brakes, in my experience. I've done bleeds on both Shimano and Tektro brakes; the Shimanos were definitely better, but still not as easy as car brakes. Which is why I happen to know Shimano caliper prices off the top of my head: I'm thinking seriously about swapping the Tektro calipers for Shimanos because they're easier to work with, both for bleeds and for pad changes (the Tektros require removing the caliper from the frame; Shimanos do not).

So again, I'm wondering what the OP is griping about. There is no supply-chain problem with hydraulic brakes that I can see.
I thought so, too, but the README file is actually just a regular text file, like we used to have before Github.
For the right workloads, yes.

Nope, AT Protocol is not compatible with ActivityPub.
On fedora, I use alt + print screen to capture the current active window. I practically always maximize my windows so it works for me. Assuming Ubuntu hasn’t messed with gnome too much, this should work. See if it works better for your workflow?
I don't see how it would be related; the vulnerability has been patched and this change promotes the formerly-vulnerable tool.
I'm not sure being non profit is as important to Twitter users as other characteristics, for example:

a) Not-for-Profit

b) 'Free' Speech

c) Free of 'hate'

d) Open platform/API

e) Lots of potential readers for my tweets

f) Lots of interesting content to read/follow

g) Not run by an egomaniacal tyrant/someone I disagree with

A company like Twitter might struggle to hire staff without being able to offer market salary rates and the financial equivalent of stock options.
I once saw WAL turned off to make a sqlite queue perform better.

But that was ... gremlins. More than one person tried to figure out wtf was going one and eventually it was better business wise to declare 'gremlins' and everybody involved in the incident has been annoyed about not figuring it out since.
I assume you’re terrified, then, because said farm hasn’t been shut down and apparently won’t be.
Just came here to ask the same thing.

It feels like a low-quality article to me - a lot of things are repeated and just feels like it's a copy-paste collection of snippets from various sources without the author understanding what it really talks about.
Because the comment has been published two years ago in a bug tracker controlled by the Chromium devs and yet to be removed, so it almost reads as if the chromium devs agree with it and happy it didn’t come from their own accounts!
Microsoft has a history of shitty behavior like this. One of the first things I change when I need to use a new computer is change alt tabs to windows only instead of treating edge tabs like windows.
Are you sure about the quarters? My Google searches result in that the feature was dropped in 2018 or so. Couldn't find any sources about the current situation though.
The video does not work for me in Firefox, only in Chromium.
You're saying you have tests that programmatically "press" PrtScr to take a screenshot?

I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to preserve the old behavior just for programmatic keypresses.

For 99.999% of the users, I reckon this is a good change. And for the rest they've thoughtfully provided an option to revert.

On that note, maybe I should try the other BSD flavors then.
Again, I have no idea what you're talking about. What brakes do you have exactly? There are only a handful of manufacturers (Shimano, SRAM, Tektro/TRP, Hope, maybe a couple others). And no, you shouldn't be losing anything. Bleeding is easy: you take connect a hose to the caliper, and a cup to the level/master cylinder, and pump some new fluid in there with a syringe. (In practice, it's somewhat fiddly and can be a little messy if you're not careful.) There's no parts to lose, except the screw that seals the master cylinder, and maybe the bleed port screw on the caliper if it doesn't use a nipple.
“She both deliberately and causally used her connections” would mean she concisely chose to use the connections and the use of those connections was a necessary condition of whatever transpired.

Seems to me to be a much stronger statement than “she used her connections and didn’t seem to care too much about doing so”.

Regarding her seeming effortless transition into the public spotlight, I’d imagine it’s learned from a young age as an “elite”. Fun fact, her great* grandfather made the yeast company you probably use.
The good thing about mspaint is I can close my eyes, press the windows key, type mspaint return and I can be reasonably sure it will open without installing anything.

I wonder what the minimum screen size is for this. I have a couple of old low-end terminals that might get new life if I could use them with WordPerfect.

I'm curious, as there is no English page, do you have any more information I can pursue regarding the 'spot-the-satanist training'? Curious what exactly that entailed and the signs they looked for.
This is just another change for change sake in a long list of stupid that does nothing but get in the way of productive people trying to get things done. Spam in start menu. Dumbed down context menus you have to remove before you can get at what you want. Real control panels hidden behind dumbed down ones with incomplete functionality. Calendar gone from bottom right clock app without trying to google how to get it back. Windows randomly opening in background. Windows randomly disappearing. Round corners on all windows broken until apps catch up. Windows snapping all over the screen in dumb ways. Computer randomly bricks due to unauthorized OS or FIRMWARE updates. Never mind all the stupid changes to office and outlook we're enduring. I'm surprised I didn't get fired for rolling out Windows 11 where I work.
It's a bridge/comfort thing until you've learned to cook with a new set of ingredients.

Once you can properly season your tofu, sietan etc... the imitation meats kind of just become a novelty.
That’d be so funny in about two years max.
If they’re programmatically pressing the PrtScr button, then hopefully it’s not too difficult to write or find a library that takes a screenshot too.
Exactly. I was on an M1 Mac, so trying to emulate x86/64 would have been painfully, unusably slow.

For simple console stuff on the terminal, it's ok. But when the GUI is involved, or anything with a lot of computation, having to translate all of the instructions from native ARM64 back to x86/64 and back takes a ton of resources and time.
> Those things don't have to be work in the sense we mean it today.

i think the word "work" is overloaded with two meaning - one being the regular meaning of doing work (for a wage/price). The other one being to exert oneself.

People _do_ find meaning in exerting oneself, but only for a purpose which is not merely sustenance. For example, intrinsically valuable work like artistic pursuits is work, but would still be done in the event of post-scarcity.
Not an issue for you, that you know of, because you have no equivalent software that's written in a more performant language (or at least critical portions of the codebase written in a more performant language). That's part of the problem; in most cases, software users don't know what life would be like with better software. They assume the performance they see is close to optimal, or at least that the devs made an effort to optimize. Users are willing to get used to whatever the software's performance is, in order to have access to the software's features. You can get used to almost anything, as suboptimal performance turns into background noise, but that doesn't mean you should. You get used to waiting 5 seconds for a piece of software to do something that you do on average once every hour or two, not realizing that those 5 seconds, 10 times a day, 365 days a year, cost you 5 hours every year.

Optimizing performance and fixing crashes/bugs/dataloss aren't mutually exclusive, either. Developers who care less about code quality than checking boxes for features requested by management or customers, will write code that's both suboptimal and buggy.
I played a similar game (Rise of Kingdoms) for three years, and I agree that the sense of community is a compelling reason to continue to play. When you're in a top alliance, the shared commitment—both money and time—creates an environment where relationships can really flourish. It also drives a great deal of drama and creates great stories. There are certain conditions created in pay-to-win games that can't be replicated in games with fairer monetization models, and those can be a real draw for some people.
Or is it the very real effect continued geo-engineering is having and will have on hundreds of millions of people? Look up China's participation in that.

Or is it the solar cycle - how much impact does the primary core driver of earths climate moods have on earths climate? Look that up.

Or is it a mix of these and other possible causes, some potentially those identified by so-far very unreliable dogmatic climate science?

You can't solve problems with science if you are so mired in the current "correct" way of thinking you can't think objectively continuously, and especially during those times it seems like everyones got it "figured out".

(And even more especially when those same people can be demonstrated to have been consistently wrong for decades.)
> Having all the data of the entire network on all the Big-World Servers. That's what you need to do if you want to crunch the data, make it searchable, and provide algorithms that help you discover new content and new people to follow.

How is this all possible if the data is encrypted? Also, what’s the economic incentive for building and maintaining the software that runs on the servers?

They probably took inspiration from the decades of snipping tools on Linux doing exactly that on key press. PrintScreen was AFAIK already in use as a shortcut for the snipping tool in KDE and GNOME when i started using them in the mid '00s
Could the dodo come back from extinction?
Yeah. There was an attempt to upstream that driver (by someone not involved in it), and the need for a better userspace API for backlight control got mentioned, so the driver wasn't merged. Probably a better driver will get merged eventually.

Maybe OP is “stuck” with shitty hydraulics from a lesser-known vendor for which it’s difficult to get the parts? I’d say they look into the cost of getting the whole system replaced, my Shimano low-ish end hydraulics have worked fine for years and as you’ve mentioned, parts are easy to get.

The Rust Foundation is absolute bonkers and they don't deserve stewardship of the language.

Here's a fantastic video on the controversy: https://youtu.be/gutR_LNoZw0

I can't believe this petty, in-group absurdity. It's Home Owners Association-level bullshit the likes of which I've never seen before in the software community.

They've created thousands of ways you can't create Rust events or even associate yourself with the language. It's 100% exclusionary and seems to go well beyond trademark protection.

The language doesn't belong to them.

I'm half minded to fork Rust and call it "Crust" or "Crab Language".
See my comment above, per-display brightness config will need changes to the Linux kernel brightness userspace API.
There's a lot of repeated stuff for no reason. The congestion control and loss recovery sections are a struggle to read.

> “Instead of getting help with the real mental problems she was experiencing, she was persuaded and kept mentally ill with pseudoscience and superstition,” said Parker.

I wonder what modern day mass hysteria/social contagion we will remember in this way. Whatever it is you can bet lots of people will pretend they never engaged in it.
Is there a solution to the issue of data stewardship yet? I'd imagine it typically would not be permissible to send a bunch of proprietary legal documents off to OpenAI.

What I'd really love to implement is a way for GPT-4 to answer questions based on a corpus of "all our Confluence pages plus random other sources of documentation." Like with the legal document issue, it's a bit of a nonstarter right now given the proprietary nature of corporate documentation.
Very precisely my course of action. As consumers, we will do well to protest and boycott services that ask you to identify yourself unnecessarily. But I had to scroll far to see this comment. The general interest here for a new product and the willingness to look past mandatory login in worrying. I feel companies have successfully normalized this and consumers don't question this much any more.

> but perhaps such discourse should be private before being finalized as early commenters from Mozilla can have a premature influence on public opinion.

No, it shouldn't. It's a good thing all discussion is happening in the open. See how Firefox devs still have their reservations but Chrome already shipped it to prod completely ignoring any such reservations.
Data was open to anyone all the way over the internet, the science of doing something great and also the hardware for blending all together that is what’s most valuable. Must be some big picture that driven all this new chapter of generative stuff.
Why is carrying a firearm such a "hill people choose to die on" item?
The posts and likes are all public. Some servers can charge users, and will likely have more resources to improve their offerings that way.
I am pretty torn on the Ubuntu behavior. On one hand, the pop-up is obnoxious, and it breaks my mental model of what the keyboard button is supposed to do. On the other, screens have gotten so big that it is rare I actually want to save my entire multi-monitor desktop, and only want a tiny viewport.

Alt-Printscreen does work as the original keypress, but I only remember this shortcut after I have already hit Printscreen and see the window appear.
Am I the only one that feels a lot of parallels between Rust's trademark policy and Mozilla's trademark policies in general? IIRC the Mozilla Public License is very restrictive on usage of logos, branding, etc. to the point where patching software to run on your OS would violate it[1].

So I am not too surprised by what Rust has been doing. I definitely don't like it, but whatever, there's enough fights out there to choose from, and Rust's trademark policy is not one I'm picking.

But most of them group a lot of things under "crime." For instance, drug use. Not saying that's great, but they equate walking past needles to violence.
But the models are the expensive part to train. Running the models is relatively easy.
> I wonder if it still works to contract for PLEX with a unit of measure missing. (Getting one for 10000000 instead of 100000000)

Still extremely common to get attempted, although due to the current UI it's usually listing something for billions when it should be millions. Also common is describing the contract as "500 plex" but the actual contract content is "1 plex".

> A long while later, rank up in the “inventory” management roles and fly or bump ships out of the bubble to waiting “real” corp members.

Player-owned Upwell structures have largely replaced POSes so that basically isn't a thing anymore. What is a thing is using a Black Ops battleship to conduit jump expensive ships off of tether into a waiting gank. It's honestly a UI/design oversight, if your ship can fit a covert ops cloak and you're close enough to a blops in your fleet, you can get involuntarily yeeted to any system within jump range.
That's also a good idea.
I know it’s common in Switzerland, Italy and France.
It’s very difficult to start a worker cooperative in a capital-intensive industry. In most companies, the difference between workers and owners is that the owners provided the capital to get things started.

A factory that builds modern tractors is a pretty huge investment. It’s very large and has a ton of very expensive robotics. It also has a huge supply chain that delivers a wide variety of parts to the factory for final assembly.

A factory worker, while a lot more skilled than a day labourer working on a farm, does not have access to the kind of capital needed to start a big factory. So how does it happen? The people who have the billions of dollars in capital needed to start the factory aren’t just going to give shares to workers they hire.
The real pie in the sky stuff is figuring out open designs that are durable but not so complex as to be totally out of reach.

I cannot claim to know the relative difficulty of such a task, or relevant regulations. But if there were some standard designs that multiple manufacturers were involved in, I bet parts would stay in production for a very very long time.
Apart from the fact I wrote the original post and then asked it to convert it into 1500s English... It even retained the form that I asked it to (with the moralization at the end). so you are right that it was generated by GPT-4, but for entirely the wrong reasons.

The following text contains is list of GPT-4 prompts that you should present in the form of a 1500s style spellbook. Please use flowery language while attempting too maintain the meaning.

1. [A Spell for generating Python code]
2. [A prompt that generates funny stories]
3. [A prompt that turns GPT-4 into a demon]

These are just a few of the possible spells, make sure to use responsibly and beware of unknown results.
You're getting downvoted, but this is precisely what has been going on.

The root cause is that Microsoft hired a bunch of UX designers to revamp Windows 11, but all of them are Mac users. They're basically copying the MacOS style into Windows, whether it makes sense or not. They don't even use Windows, so they're not eating their own dog food. To them, "success" is that it looks superficially "Mac-like", job done.

Like you, I'm getting fed up with these changes, most of which are objectively worse.

I also tried the "new" Outlook, and it was staggeringly bad. Not only was it shockingly slow, the UI got dumbed down and there's wasted whitespace everywhere. Essential information is hidden, and the whole thing looks like a PowerPoint presentation of what an email client looks like instead of an actual piece of usable software.
Watching his Gresham talk (link in someone else's post) he represents the multiple cycles of the universe as cylinders connected at the round ends with time going along the central axis. He also represents the Big Bang universe as an upsidedown bell shape starting from a tiny radius, undergoing inflation and then later accelerating expansion shown by the outward flare of the bell. Not quite sure how he gets from multiple consecutive bell shapes to the cylinder representation. Seems like it should be more like a string of sausages with a big crunch before the next big bang.
Wasn't that the previous wave of remote work? And didn't it end badly for IT and software engineering?

I'm currently cleaning up a mess left by some well-meaning but unskilled and improperly managed overseas teams. They spent months and didn't deliver. My team cleaned it up in a few weeks but it wasn't cheap. And consider months of opportunity cost for lost execution time. In a startup with a fixed runway that can mean death.

The IT story is even worse. Poor outcomes, unhappy employees, data breaches. I heard from a neteng friend that when Google purchased Motorola the offshore neteng contractor was so bad Google that classified the Motorola network as actively hostile. The contractor was so deeply entrenched it was impossible to get them out and they were actively serving malware. Any machine that visited the motorola network had to be wiped before being allowed back on the corp network.

So yeah, if that's the next phase we already know how it ends.
Well if you can live with watching the games on delay and can wait a few hours NFL GamePass gets you all the games for ~$100 per season. I hate commercials and they strip them out of the full broadcast after a few hours, the initial upload includes them. And if you want to run through games quickly, they also have a condensed version of the games, the strips out all the dead time, so games are only ~40 minutes.
Win-R mspaint, notepad, and cmd are burned into my brain for getting stuff done. Everything else gets in the way.

I can vouch for that. Not in my Uni, but my school did introduced us to programming via Turbo C++.

> However, digital synthesis does not require this sort of conception at all, and can be constructed without any summing of a harmonic series.

A naive sawtooth algorithm (linear rise from -1.0 to 1.0) will create aliasing and not be a true saw. You cannot filter out this aliasing unless you do this with extreme oversampling. Otherwise you need to synthesize the waveform in an alias-free (or alias minimizing) method.

There's quite a few ways to digitally synthesize a sawtooth, all with some compromise, but they're all based on sine summation theory.

One of the more common ways is to precalculate a table of single-cycle bandlimited waveforms for every 1/3 octave or so, and choose the nearest table index for a given note-frequency being played, and interpolate as needed. (It's essentially mipmapping).
I think this should be the next priority for https://frame.work :)
This is great. On a related note I let Amazon prime expire in February and it turns out there has been virtually no pain in the decision. I was spending way too much money on Amazon, and now I just get really what I need, often directly from the manufacturer, guaranteeing quality. And with password managers, signing up for accounts and logging into various vendor sites is not that bad anymore.
