I bought a chromebook in 2017 that I love. AUE is up in a few months. The OS has improved leaps and bounds since I got it. I wish it would keep getting updates.

Sadly it’s hard to flash a new boot loader as the write protect screw is in a difficult place and I’ll likely break something trying to get to it. I don’t know what I’ll do when AUE hits.

I guess it’ll be like my first gen iPad which I’m forced to use as a clock as there is little else I can do with the great hardware with locked down software.

In that case, you should have some director level contacts from your past connections. Reach out to such folks in senior management level positions and I think your chances of getting an opening would be much higher.

So you're saying that all these people who were mistakenly hired by Google and were now let go, shouldn't have been let go?
> there are already plenty of comments explaining how these are irrelevant

Examples? Or maybe you have none because it's handwaving.

> you can’t just connect adjacent studies by assumption and have those assumptions be true

Source? You absolutely can, it's called transitive logic. Scientists, especially multidisciplinary ones, do this everyday.

Maybe you have some research to share instead of low effort dismissive comments that add nothing to the convo except noise.
The loophole enabled car makers to produce SUVs but ultimately the consumers who still had a choice between fuel efficient sedans and SUVs, overwhelmingly chose to buy SUVs.

Wait, how am I overshooting? Reading your comment it seems like we are both in agreement. Or did I read you wrong?
Your best bet is #1 along with clear Terms of Service. #2 is not happening. The value of Gumroad is not in the software (you clearly can build it yourself for the most part). The value is in the ecosystem and the tools/resources they have to validate uploads (most likely manual but they can afford to do that).
I've done that with the rough Q&A tool I made. I include links to websites or documents not so much for verification, but because I work with government info and the devil's in the details. The Q&A is more like a smart search engine, with the summarized answer being a nice bonus.
I would guess that most written languages started out this way (not enough space for my line? Impossible!), before people realized it didn't scale well for larger documents

And that the only reason Chromebooks are deployed there in the first place is that they are inexpensive.

Considering how bad and dubiously sourced the article is... yes, actually, anecdotes might very well be just as good.
> could empower a small-scale enterprise to rejuvenate all idle agricultural lands within the county, spanning more than 70,000 hectares, in under five years.

Just for a sense of scale, the US has 158 million hectares of arable land (and arable land is just a subset of agricultural land) [1].

My question is why in 2023 isn’t there some better efforts to at least bring third party support for the various FSes to the various OSes?

Or is it a side effect of streaming everything? Ie who cares. Ie file systems are solved tech and nothing really new until permanent storage is as fast as RAM in all aspects, replaces it, and we get some new computing paradigm.
Personally I favor a confrontational retort: "No, you never get to decide that. The inquisitor does." Revolutions are a messy example which demonstrate what happens when the mandatory becomes forbidden without ex-post-facto restrictions. There is a reason many people get the hell out of dodge even after the fighting stops.

Human farts on AVERAGE contain about 5% methane, and 9.6% CO2 - but depending on your gut biome you may not fart out any methane at all. There's not great data on this (sample size n=16) but the ballpark figure I found was 30-40% of people fart methane.

You're drawing conclusions based on what you've happened to notice. That's a skewed sample because people notice the cases that they dislike [1]. Users with opposite politics to yours draw opposite conclusions. If you don't believe me, see the examples at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870. Here are a few more recent tidbits (links available upon request!):

Yes, there are plenty of cases where commenters break the rules and we don't do anything—but you're wrong to conclude that that's because we secretly agree with them. It's simply because there's far too much content for us to see it all. If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it [2].

Indeed. The Redis book was C/C++ so I was hopeful that this one would be as well. Given that database essentials are so closely tied to system calls, I would have hoped for a language that doesn't abstract them away. At least in the first fsync() call, the author does explicitly mention that `fp.Sync()` ends up invoking `fsync` system call, but as someone who has no intention of returning to Golang I'd rather not have to add complexity by requiring me to build and maintain a mental map of Golang calls to syscalls (the worst kind of abstraction layer IMHO: leaky and unnecesary).
I remember that article that got flagged recently predicted that we should expect broken windows in peoples' homes. I wonder if anyone will do an analysis to see what the article got right and what it got wrong. I cannot find the link anymore.
Methane in atmosphere today is at 2 ppm, carbon dioxide is at 420 ppm. If methane is 20 times more potent, this implies that atmospheric methane is equivalent to 40 extra ppm of carbon dioxide.

If we removed literally all methane from the atmosphere, this would be equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide concentration to 380 ppm. This would bring us back to climate of 2005. By any reasonable measure, climate in 2023 is not significantly different than the climate in 2005 (eg. you’d hardly be able to observe any difference without making a lot of very careful measurements, you wouldn’t “feel” any difference on your own skin).

And that’s if we remove literally all methane. Most of the methane in atmosphere is a result of natural processes, not caused by human activity. Thus, if we stop all methane emissions caused by human activity, we can maybe at best slow down climate change by 10 years. In terms of practical effects as felt by human beings, this is accurately described as “won’t change a thing”. Actually, to be more specific, slowing climate change by 10 years won’t make any difference, but stopping all methane emitting activities would be tremendously negative to human flourishing.
It’s not free money though.
Winget is auto-installed in Windows 10 by Windows Update and/or Store Update for every copy of Windows 10 with a recent enough build for more than a year or two, so long as that machine doesn't have the Store disabled or blocked. It is bundled inside the "Application Installer Platform" which is a low-level Store package that powers a lot of little things like the "double-click to install an MSIX file" experience and Windows generally keeps up to date quickly if Store updates aren't blocked.

I can't speak to your usage of Windows Server, but provisioning winget and PowerShell 7+ are standard bootstrapping steps in VM images at places I work, because those are generally assumed to be basic equipment at this point.

You're the one dreaming.

The US is fundamentally incapable of building public transportation? Ludicrous. What's required is political will.

ICE prices will not drop faster than EV. It's much more mature technology.

If forbidding new ICE cars (in 7+ years) "strips people of transportation" we clearly need som kind of subsidies to alleviate that.

Climate change is a threat. It's not just something people talk about because it's fun. The current estimates predict 3 degrees of warming until the end of the century. That's assuming we stop burning fossile fuels some time this century. The disruption this would cause to agriculture and living conditions around the world are just staggering. If nothing else, consider the costs of 2 meeters sea level rise until 2100...

Preventing climate change is a cost saving measure.

> For a while on the Ukraine war I tried to find unbiased commentary

There's no hope of finding unbiased commentary on a war that's happening NOW. Even the history of wars that happened 1,000 years ago are hopelessly muddied by contemporary political agendas.

As far as Wikipedia is concerned, history is one of the areas that's least trustworthy; lots of history articles have teams of gatekeepers. It can help to read the talk pages (and the archives of the talk pages) to find out what's been disputed.

The fact that you can do that, and also inspect the entire edit history, really does make Wikipedia head and shoulders better than any other information resource, provided you read it with due scepticism.
> the problem is mirror image one, when mapping sensory field stimlus, to cortical field state.

For 3-D mapping onto 3-D I don't understand what you're saying. Except for vision, for which I understand there are optical properties that require image flipping and inversion.
This sounds plausible but directly contradicts the actual evidence about the best forecasters (according to David Epstein
"Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World").
Specially with image generation and like I can believe that there is certain amount of learning and practise to get exactly the results you want and how different inputs affect output. And then also picking up right model for right job.

Not that it is engineering, but there is lot of uses where it doesn't match either...
I have seen people doing multi steps prompting SD to get exact image they wants, that includes textual inversion, merging models, creating lora, manipulate prompt weights, in/out painting, this is a serious job like graphic designer but with less imagination and more wizarding, now SD created open source LLM, I expect the same to happen
The current results are... whelming, but this technology could be an invaluable boon to indie game developers and hobbyists. It may not be long till it's viable -- at least for rapid prototyping stages.

I recommend consent-o-matic on desktop. It'll be good to see it appear on mobile, though I have my doubts that it'll appear soon since the entire ecosystem of plugins seems to have been hobbled on mobile.

Regarding EU users not being allowed on certain websites.. well, frankly, I'd rather they do that than have to deal with people who refuse to comply with a very simple legal requirement for user autonomy. It is a basic moral failure not to offer that autonomy, really.
> It's okay; software engineering isn't real either.

Those countries (at least France, Switzerland and Canada at least) also have official accredited Software Engineering degrees.

I know because I hired people who graduated from these programs!
If you release the same amount of methane per year for a couple dozen years, the methane reaches a steady state where it has a constant value, but CO2 continues to rise.

This is because the methane is being converted to CO2 at a relatively quick clip.

The timescale for CO2 is larger-- centuries.

I'm currently starting a business, organizing a conference, growing my family, and tending my digital garden.

In order to pursue these ambitious goals, I had to drop my secondary dreams.

I've committed to giving up music practice (and many other things) so that I can be a better founder, organizer, parent, and artist.

I will never be great at music, and that's okay.

That's really irrelevant. Even if compensation was entirely in cash, they'd likely still be shareholders through index fund investing, e.g. most 401k options would invest in the company. Does that mean employees working at an S&P 500 company should never unionize because technically they're shareholders?

Employees at Google are made shareholders because its cheaper for the company than paying cash. Employees form an absolutely tiny minority. The point of unionizing is to increase the leverage of the workers at a company. Workers would benefit much more from unionization than they would from holding the stock at a company without a union.
I hate to break it to you, but distros have been supporting lvm and mdadm for decades.

The only thing(s) that define a "server" distro are support contracts and ego. Ubuntu server is no different than standard Ubuntu when both use and can run the exact same packages.
Many megacorps just straight up pay small claims court judgments and don't care. I have actually been told by an insurance company to do that before.
I used asdf for a long time and recently switched over to rtx (https://github.com/jdxcode/rtx) and so far it's been a better experience for me. I must have screwed up something years ago in my dotfiles, but when I setup asdf two or so years ago, I kept running into odd issues - the wrong version of ruby being used for running rubocop/rspec, vim being unable to autofix styling, misc other tools not working as expected when maintaining several versions of them. I installed rtx as kind of a hail Mary and it's been much more smooth so far.
Many people don't deny the first-order effects. However, the second-order effects are speculative, and there is and should be more skepticism towards them, especially when someone is suggesting authoritarian policies based on them.

Sadly, most of the green movement is just Marxism in new clothes and for them the climate change is an opportunity to push their authoritarian and dystopian policies. They use words such as 'oceans boiling' and 'extinction' as a part of their propaganda which are total and utter lies.

The goal for Marxists is to stop human progress and wealth generation. Implementing their policies would result in a way worse world than a world with climate change.
Great progress on this front. I will try it out soon. One question: is the self hosted version meant to be used deploying a local instance of clickhouse, or by connecting to managed clickhouse cloud [or both are possible]?

Of course the stock goes up. But the employees are an extreme minority shareholder, so they're totally beholden to the larger shareholders. If the company wants to layoff workers, they're powerless to stop it. Workers are also powerless to stop getting their pay cut. Go look at current job openings. Those cushy 500K total comp jobs are gone.
The initial existence of pet and worker breeds may be symbiotic and natural, but the way people treat them like a slave species and perpetuate them is arbitrarily done for the convenience of humans.
