Count me in. I'm willing to make sacrifices for this vision, too. HiDPI/scaling isn't required (well, no big deal for me, I try to buy monitors with the DPI I want to use). I can live without searchable start menu (although it would be nice). I'm willing to drop other features too.

Honestly, I'm considering running fvwm95, but that's probably a bad idea.

If anything, you are being too nice to US suburbs: It's perfectly possible to have towns that are much denser than any US suburb. My Spanish home town has about 100K inhabitants: You'd not call that a city anywhere in the US. And yet, It's basically a circle with a one mile radius: Yes, just one mile. In that situation, one can walk everywhere, and public transportation is limited to the elderly, people carrying heavy things, and the impatient that live in the outskirts of town.

As a pre-teen, I could go to any of my friend's houses to do tabletop roleplaying all by myself. If my mother needed a break from parenting, she had three different siblings living within a quarter mile. When your average building is 6 stories tall, and your typical street is 30 feet wide building to building, a quarter mile circle holds a lot of families! In comparison, my neighbor from across the street in the US suburbs is 60 feet away, door to door, and a quarter mile circle won't get me to 300 front doors, total.
I became a Clojure developer in the last year and a half without any prior experience with the JVM. The stack-trace problem is rarely an issue, with time I just got better to read the code, with Clojure as with any other language.
What I mean by "functions" are the ones that need to be translated into English. For example:

印（“你好”）

This would be translated to:

print("你好")

However, variables are not translated. If I denote 印 as a variable:

「印」（“你好”）

This would get translated to:

印("你好")

The SoC used in VisionFive2 as well as Star64 is making strides[0] in Linux mainline support.

Of course, it helps that it uses the standard RISC-V boot process and the u-boot bootloader instead of the bespoke mess that Raspberry Pi has.

None of these points seem to address the parent’s point which was that restarting a nuclear plant that is much older than its intended lifespan is not safe.

“No more criticisms without solutions” is not a real argument. Obviously criticisms must be considered. And the magnitude of the risks is obviously important.
We did do that. The Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository was constructed but no nuclear waste was actually transported there because of once again, NIMBYs.
Over half of Harvard's student body is on financial aid. Students from families making $85k or less pay 0% of their tuition. $85-150k are expected to pay 0-10% of their income. So if you're in a household that makes $150k/yr, your Harvard tuition is only $15k. From their website, "a lack of financial resources or need for financial aid are not impediments to your admission." If you can get into Harvard, you can afford it.

There is no reason they cannot be installed beside each other.

GDM, etc have made this easy for years. On installation 'simpler' distros let you choose as many desktop environments as you wanted from the install.
(Gnome/KDE/XFCE/Flux/...)

And you still had /home/[user] common between desktop environments by default.

It does sadden me that ReactOS has not been mentioned even once in this entire discussion so far. Understandably, it is not a viable alternative at the moment.

However, I will hope against hope. Looking back, Lazarus IDE had languished for a long while, before maturing. As I write this, I have at least 3 applications written in Lazarus running. So I will hope against hope...

Every time I see a yet next inventor designs its own configuration language and foolhardily crosses a rake field of syntax conflicts, design errors, and subtle logic bugs, I recall LISP with its S-expressions. The two last cases were CMake and BitBake.

Being a kind of divergent multiverse base is not bad, provided a common spirit is still shared and abidden between implementations. For LISP, having e.g. Scheme and Guile as a minimal working base, and Common LISP as an "all batteries included", it not that bad even despite their miscompatibility.
One major cause of school shootings is the reporting of school shootings.
I think this is a great idea but it's hard to effect in practice. We have formalized relationships between significant others, including the obligations that come with that.

Less formalized relationships like friendships have less defined obligations, so it may be hard to negotiate who makes the effort of moving to bring the friends' residences in geographical proximity.

And then there is the lack of privacy. Your parents who came from a different generation trying to tell you how to live your life (ie my parents are very religiously conservative). I would have to deal with my mom and my wife walking on eggshells to not offend each other. I would have to deal with my dad wondering why I would waste money paying people to cut my lawn, etc.
I'd far rather go for a long drive in a comfortable car with scenic views than go to a bar.

My closest (in both meanings of the word) friend is three hours away through a scenic mountain pass and when we go there its for an entire weekend. This gives time to help with things like building a shed or swapping an engine in a car.
They should have thrown some financial incentives to the developers instead of trying to institute a ban like crazy people who want to control others. A lot of bay area developers already don't want to deal with venting so you don't get a proper range vent and in unit dryers are often of the (more efficient) condensing variety, I could totally see developers foregoing gas hookups if the city threw them something to encourage heat pumps.
I live in a similarly “highly active” citizen government area, and the parking committee will issue proclamations on support for international wars. It’s just government nerds with too much money and time trying to play Model UN. I would say it’s harmless except there is always some hundred million dollar bond they are proposing.
Ah my bad, that was unrelated. Windows 10 had an option to show the Window titles of items on your taskbar if there was enough room.

This is changing, kids are riding a lot less than in the 00s (here's one of many articles):

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/06/04/fewer-kids-...

It may be social, in that letting kids roam on their own is not as acceptable and could get you in trouble with courts. Also, "cars" are more dangerous these days, ans they shift into more trucks and SUVs with massive blind spots and distracted drivers, and there have been many efforts to eliminate penalties for speeding, and the difference between 20mph and 30mph is literally a ton of death.

The number 1 thing I would love for my child is to live in a place where I was not in constant fear of cars when on the sidewalk or street. It wasn't like that when I was a kid in the suburbs in the 80s. And I will likely have to leave the US to find what I want.
For those who are new to this, the classic article on this kind of phishing is The Line of Death [0]. Basically, the phishing site can create false title and URL bars.

I don’t think so.

I’ve seen countless threads and front page articles about more bike-friendly, anti-car city development, as well as how suburban and rural cities requiring cars and more driving is definitely not a good thing.

It’s very hard to find anyone coming to defense of the allure of smaller, more open developments with actual land between your neighbors.

If you want to find rural or suburban folks, HN is not the community to engage with.

If you're set up for HA you're paying for the idle hardware either way, and if you save on electricity that might benefit the DC option but not the cloud option. Overall not much difference there.

Bandwidth is the one thing where the cloud clearly wins wrt idle servers... except that DC bandwidth is a hundred times cheaper than AWS bandwidth, so you should prefer buying 133% or 150% or 200% DC bandwidth by a mile.
More like $50 there and $70 back.

In seriousness, Finance in no way dictates product decisions directly. Instead, they tell product owners "You are responsible for $XXX million dollars in revenue over the next N quarters. Tell us how you plan to achieve this goal." Product owners run the gamut from amazing to unimaginative. Guess who populates the Windows PM org these days.
Language is a major factor, yes. Another factor I think is whether you come from a “welcomed” country. Under the current chaotic world order, it’s not hard to come up with a few countries that are not welcomed almost anywhere (Disclaimer: I come from one of them).

But still, start with some people that are close with you, either at work or in private, and try to expand that circle to larger / more diverse groups. The rule of making friends still apply for immigrants, it’s just a bit harder than natives.
Unfortunately, for non-obscure stuff I add g too often for my liking (but not too often to drop DDG yet), have made conscious decision to try to not do that, but always went back.
Linux has the "small pieces loosely coupled thing down" in a way that LISP is no where near at all.

LISP could be this awesome. It has the bones to be flexible. Yes Lisp has a very cute creative re-use & some well tread stdlib.

But *nix/Linux keep evolving & changing & growing & LISP has been stuck forever with vaguely 1970's stdlib, with lurching attempts to become more that only ever semi-materialize. Linux kept levelling up, kept growing it's capabilities & systems, but LISP keeps being defined by it's core, and a robust capable evolving stdlib keeps being an illusory changing aspect.

There has been so much detesting of JS for being fickle & changing, but honestly, there's been a somewhat clear trajectory forward, vectors of growth where things happen & eventually sense is made & it gets adopted. I am not a LISP expert but my distant sense is that LISP continues to be a good bit more of a free for all, continues to have all the power, where "different implementations can focus on different needs of programmers, and can develop these features without affecting other implementations of the language," but there is almost never a real forward vector, nothing ever gets turned into an expected capability. Linux grew. It kept growing. In spite of the protests, it has kept refinining & iterating (systemd, wayland, & slow-but-growing new useful options for the base cli utils), and by compare I see LISP's "different needs" as it's core weakness, alas, it's inability to ever pick good ways forward, rather than it's strength.
There was a time when everyone considered a kilobyte to be 1024 bytes, a megabyte to be 1024 kilobytes, and so forth. The main reason this changed is because disk manufacturers advertised e.g. 1 billion byte hard disks as having “1 GB” of capacity and, to pretend they weren’t ripping us all off, proceeded to claim that the definitions were ambiguous. But even today, if you go out and buy an 8 GB DIMM, you are getting 8 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes.

(As a historical side note, there was even a weird transitional period where a “1.44 MB 3.5 floppy” held 1.44 * 1000 * 1024 bytes, or what everyone at the time would have called 1440 kilobytes.)

Personally I think it’s unfortunate that standards bodies and even courts have sided with the disk manufacturers. I also find the SI binary prefixes utterly revolting on an aesthetic level, so I’d much rather join whatever parts of the tech industry are still holding out.
They didn't invalidate the idea that some people prefer sprawling neighborhoods. They just posited that that is not the only, or the primary reason for the extend of sprawl.
This is where I am at as well.

I have met a few guys who wanted to strike up a friendship. I only have room in my outer orbit, unfortunately. This is even after some friends moved further out. I would like more room in my life for Me, not other people.

This is not in any way a "fix." It's a bandaid on a shotgun wound, at best.
1. you didn't create $1000/mo. You did something that caused the (temporary) transfer of control over $1000/mo of economic resources into your hands. That means that what you did was not judged as useless by everyone else in the society where you live - and that's good!

But the value of your software is utterly contingent on the full context of where you live. As many have noted, there are many highly paid jobs in (say) the USA that would simply have no value if you attempted to perform them in, say, Sudan (especially right now). So that $1000/mo is predicated on the work that others have done to create a context where your work actually has some value. Take that context away (or destroy it), and your work is close to worthless. So, where does the value in your work actually come from? No doubt some comes from you ... but how much is a lot harder to define.

2. I never said anything about fair.

3. I have no idea what your $1/hr example is intended to demonstrate.
IDK, I consider Windows 7 a solid improvement over XP. XP, by the time Service Pack 3 came around, was good but showing its age.

As far as I'm concerned, they could have stopped at 7 with no real loss to the business.

I’ve seen some odd programs even from otherwise well respected state schools here in the US recently. A few times I’ve had to do a double to take to make sure I was looking at a legit university.
You're more or less on point, but the conclusion doesn't follow the premise. It is not a good analogy.

When the original Amiga team left Commodore, they left a finished new chipset (Ranger), with very competitive specs.

However, Commodore discarded it as too expensive, not attributing any value to being first to market or having the best product.

Management systematically acted against the engineers, such as when they unilaterally decided not to have a DSP and forbid the engineers to use the A3000 prototype boards with DSP on them that they had made.

There's multiple books about the story of the Amiga and its mismanagement by Commodore, as it extends much further than that. Lots of cancelled projects, many of which finished like Ranger was.

Hell is other people.

I way prefer to live in low density areas and I do. If I can see my neighbours house, that's too close (my neighbours are actually wonderful). I live on the edge of a suburb with a goal to push out further into the rural areas. Where I'm trying to get to is a more commune style property where those that are closest to us can come and stay or live, with shared spaces.

You shouldn't try and push your extroverted views on other people. You can go and live in high density areas with all the potential zombies if you want, but don't make me do that please.

LLM's will be treated much like occupations for people going forward.
Just like our own education, there will be a basic set of skills all LLM's need to be trained on to provide a minimal useable product. With GPT4 I suspect we are at this point now if not slightly beyond the optimal basic training stage.
However, now it is time to send our LLM's off to university so to speak, to specialise them in certain tasks and knowledge base. The current approach of attempting to just build everything in to one does not work for a human mind, so why would it work for a vector based replication?

I suspect in the coming months we will hear more about tiny models trained on much smaller datasets and then specialised using a mix of adaptors and LoRA modifications to excel at specific tasks like code generation, translation, and conversation. Then multiple models will be implemented in one application chain to best leverage each of the respective strengths.
This is hilarious and simultaneously sad. Thanks for the story.

I remember working on OS/2 from my internship in college through the first few commercial software jobs after graduation though we used IBM's C/C++ compiler, which may have been shared with Microsoft but the exact origin I don't recall.

I very much preferred Borland from my days in Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++ though I can't remember if that was just Intel or Atari ST (68K)?

Lots of game-changing software was built on OS/2 at the time because getting that kind of thread performance was nearly impossible since it predated everything else in the late 80's so things like ATM machines, stock trading systems, even things that are still being sold today though I'm sure OS/2 is long gone from the releases:

It's sad that the entire industry seemed to forget about CUA en masse. It would be really useful now with the return of tiling to prominence.
Who do you think should pursue it? Governments? Public/private enterprise? How should it happen? Who is going to pursue very very expensive speculative possibly interesting technology? Should we pursue the China/Russia/India pro-proliferation version, or should we follow a profileration-safe and risk-safe'er IFR version?

Right now there's not success. To say the genie is out of the bottle ignores how new these experimental Russian, Chinese, & Indian reactor projects are. Most are not online. How well they operate now or will operate as they really go online unknown. How refined their refinement is is unknown. How much would these authoritarian entities share with the rest of the world? If heavy-industrialists like GE Hitachi & others start cranking out ultra-successful PUREX breeder reactors, find how to make them cost efffective, and then really many many nations start having these capabilities, doesn't that worry you, just a bit?
It was strange at the time to put a lisp on the king of OOP languages, given all the lispers so fiercely dismissive of OOP, but never has a lisp language enjoyed such a huge ecosystem of libraries available.

I use Erlang as my main language. I like that so many languages have lisp alternatives, so I can just rename the most common function calls to what I'm used to, and feel mostly at home between the different languages, other than different syntax for some data structures like maps.
My wife and I just moved from our 3200 square foot newly built (circa 2016) house last year and bought a 1300 square foot fully furnished condotel (units are owned individually in a resort condominium and they are rented out like hotels when we aren’t there and we get half the income).

We paid about the same price that we paid for our house. In return, we pay one CDD fee that covers all utilities, minor maintenance access to three pools, restaurants and convenience stores on site, a gym, and a lake.

Before we had to do all that ourselves - including maintenance of my home gym with cardio equipment.

We got rid of our cars and we literally live out of four suitcases. One suitcase holds “work clothes” since I do travel to client sites occasionally.

We are at home five months out of the year and we fly around the US staying in midrange extended stay hotels the rest of the year.

It is so freeing to have a “decontented” life. Our spending really hasn’t gone up, just reallocated.
Ask yourself this question - how much carbon could one person emit before it's "wrong"? If a single person emitted 100 gigatons of carbon in the name of freedom, would you support it? What about a thousand gigatons?
Some banks have general incompetence, as well.

Sure and that puts them more or less on equal footing with credit unions. I've been with Patelco for decades and they're hands down one of the most inept financial institutions I've ever dealt with. Bank of America's obnoxious because everything is very stick to the script (and I've not banked with them in decades), but Patelco is just make it up as you go along. I've looked at other credit unions (Golden1, Redwood) and been pretty underwhelmed with the offerings. Redwood especially had the feel of being run out of someone's basement.
In my opinion that attitude permeates the whole of society, nowhere is the inherent irony of the moniker "liberal" being applied to aspiring dictators as apparent as it is in Berkeley.
