I've used KDE quite a lot. A like it, I really do. But the amount of small issues I have with compositing and caching that build up over time, regardless of distro, until after a few months I'm plagued by flashing and compositor crashes, or menus and file managers hanging for ages...it's just untenable. There are too many small bugs in too many nooks and crannies, and with KDE's scope (and scope creep), I'm not confident they'll ever be fixed.

"Matrix math" itself is very old, but I'm guessing what you're referring to here is probably neural networks or Markov chains, both of which are... a half-century to a century old, if I remember right?

Transformers on the other hand are new, less than a decade old.
That last paragraph, is that unusual?

As a kind of sysadmin, I was fairly ready to go week 1 on most my projects. But in my erp space, developers and testers have to understand business, processes, functional aspects, etc. Whether specifics of clients payroll process or their finances or whatever. So "spend a week reading manuals" is normal. We call it "onboarding". And of course they're getting paid - they're not doing it for fun.

Have I had a weird career? :-)
Technically correct, but arguable... There are lots of UK and EU-based companies that blatantly breach the GDPR and get away with it as the regulatory bodies don't have the resources to chase after every breach at home, let alone abroad.

Unless you are a huge company or have a significant amount of customers in the UK/EU it's probably okay to ignore the GDPR.

Wow, 53 seconds to render a random page of that PDF in Firefox!

Chrome-- takes 10 seconds to even load the PDF reader. While it appears to have loaded most of the pages after that time, the entire window becomes laggy by about 1 second or so for any event-- scroll, page down, etc. (Didn't even dare to zoom...)

Native Gnome whatever PDF reader-- anywhere from 5 to 25 second load time for each page. (After that, that particular page responds immediately to scrolling.)
One particularly unpleasant job (I believe often performed by slaves) was making charcoal. More man-hours went into making charcoal than went into the actual blacksmithing, as it was so coal-intensive. Entire regions were denuded of trees. And then of course you had lumberjacks.

Honestly, following around some rich person in Rome sounds easier than the hardest manual labor jobs.
Many staff engineers are simply people good at hiding their weaknesses and have no more expertise than an average senior engineer. Same as many architects.

> Although :has still shouldn't be use because the spec isn't finalized (and so it's (rightfully) not supported by Firefox)

I don't it's reasonable to hold off on using :has(), something web developers have wanted for close to 20 years just because it's not supported by Firefox. It's far too important and useful.

Especially when 86.93% of the global web audience uses a browser that supports it [1]. And as much I admire Firefox and what they stand for, it's marketshare is 2.77% [2].

Regarding the spec not being finalized… while that may be technically true, the current draft specification has been stable for several months and is what the browser vendors have agreed to implement.

It's been 14 months (March 14, 2022) since :has() first shipped in Safari 15.4 [3]; I think it should be okay to use :has() in production and lets hope Firefox catches up soon.

> Are open counters and accessible product going to be something that goes away in retail

No, expensive areas with private security and access control will still have open racks of merchandise, people walking around to assist you and generally be lovely.

Poor areas without those things will look more and more dystopian, be more hostile and generally offer less items and less help. I suspect the automated self checkout will takeoff.

One of the reasons to publically fund the police was to remove the market for private security. Once upon a time it wasn't uncommon to hire a spare coachman to "ride shotgun" which meant literally manning a shotgun.

I suspect deliveries to these areas may see the "shotgun messengers" return...

Wayland was the worst turn the Linux desktop world could ever take. No accessibility²³, no compatibility with the most prevalent graphics cards (NVidia*) and no use for anyone other than maintainers¹.

Also, lots of bugs in derived works (e.g. KDE) and due to hostility of maintainers noone wants to file bugs for Wayland. Yeah I know this gets flagged, but maybe it inspires others to compete with Wayland. I'd welcome to join.

No it won't. It might happen. Or it might go years before happening in that area. Or you might move away before it does.

But you don't get to use your perception of inevitability to cause harm and financial damage for someone else.
Contractual basis too, is often the easiest way to collect and store PII. Eg if you have a contract with someone you can often store a lot of their data to fulfil the contract.

There is meant to be a sense of proportionality, but as many things with privacy laws it's subject to interpretation and intentionally left vague.
Yes but ultimately No and No. US cities have always expanded but the current level of "exurban" development is new - a continuation of the expansion trend no doubt but still more expansiveness, sufficient to be a barrier to fixing the problems created by fire suppression forestry.

And logging doesn't fix things the way natural fires fix things. Logging companies only want big trees and a sustainable forest has big trees that survive fires and little tree that are removed by modest fires. Clear cut areas tend to burn quite intensely because they're all small tree.
The point of the piece would seem to be not "all is well" but that the real problem is the accounting practices used to direct programs. You've posed this like a counterpoint to the piece but there's significant overlap between what you're saying and the arguments it makes.
If you'd prefer a more Spock-like explanation:

It's definitely not an interesting or useful question (and if you think that it only appeals to creative/playful/cooperative types, you're very mistaken). And for that reason, plus the 20 Questions style, "Guess what level of detail will satisfy me" it conveys a basic lack of respect for the candidate's intelligence -- and most especially, their time.

It's as if you're basically saying to them: "I'm starting to think you might be a dullard, or uncooperative, or that you just plain can't think your way out of a wet paper bag. Prove to me otherwise."

You might think it comes off as cute or fun somehow, but really, it just comes off as arrogant and presumptuous.
> I drive around and see fucking flags for Trump

People publicly display their support for Biden as well: https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/DW.... Worth noting that this photo was from an article about how neighbors get along despite voting and supporting different politicians.

> even after his terrible behavior

I presume that you could equally have voted for Bill Clinton without approving of his infidelity or Obama without approving of his extrajudicial killing of American citizens. A vote for a politician does not imply that you condone everything about that person.

> I worry for the safety of my family

I don't know where you are, but for what it's worth, I am a visible ethnic minority living in stereotypically conservative Deep South state where virtually every state and local office is held by a Republican; I have neighbors of many different colors and creeds and I do not feel unsafe.

It's actually kind of funny -- I used to live in a major coastal metropolis of the kind where BLM signs were on every other lawn, yet approximately zero black people actually lived in the nice parts of town with those lawn signs. Here, there are approximately zero BLM signs, but plenty of white and black people living as neighbors, friends, and coworkers.

> inflation means despite me having a six figure job we have to pinch pennies

Since we're talking about presidents, I have to point out that the CPI rose 7.8% during Trump's four-year term and 15.6% during Biden's term so far, a little over two years in.
I we are arguing the meaning of the word deadline at this point.

According to my dictionary, it's not really a deadline if you can just move it as soon as it seems inconvenient or out of reach.

I think maybe Lucas Costa calls those things preemption points. It's a time decided in advance against which you check your progress and assumptions, but with no connotations that work must be complete by that point, which is strongly implied calling it a deadline.
There are suprisingly little issues considering they are powering 60% of the web :)

We are using cloudflare at work with azure behind. There was a weird issue and within 3 hours they pointed to the actual cause ( we thought it was cloudflare first).

Guess what, it wasn't cloudflare and even we thought it was breaking SSL connections at first, since we recently shifted to them. It took azure 3 weeks to pinpoint the problem ( they reverted their update quicker luckily...)

The future of culture is even harder to predict than other aspects of the future.

Well, if you want to limit your lookups to country level you can use our free IP to Country database [0]. Feel free to ask what is the catch. It's an easy answer, there is none.

The database is updated daily, there is no quality compromise, it is a database so unlimited lookups and it is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 so it permits commercial use with attribution. It is a subset of our paid city level data. If you want city level data, we have the free tier on the API permits 50k lookups per month.

By the way, I already pinged you on Twitter about the database. :/

[Author] Good luck trying to use clusters of Lambda machines. Lambda labs are cheap for a reason: their API is not very featureful (we looked at them and we saw they didn't even support machine tagging). If you're looking for a box or two, lambda labs is fine. If you're looking for 1,000, not so much.

Plus they don't actually have any actually A100s available at the moment (2022-05-17).

CoreWeave is a nice middle ground. You can at least get the A100 machines into a k8s cluster.

You’re ignoring the underlying math.

If they needed 2 hammers then both hammers would have cost less. Thus rather than 2 * 435$ hammers + other junk you get 2 * 430$ hammers + other junk which is also 5$ cheaper (or whatever the actual number works out to.) Net result a total that’s 15$ higher and a different set of otherwise meaningless numbers.

> Who are you to say that resources and power shouldn't be concentrated in the 1%?

Who are you? Everybody has the right to say this, or the opposite. If you think that people need some sort of permission to critique the morality of murderers, or that there are no rational arguments for any sort of morality, I'm here to inform you that neither you or they need permission, and maybe read or think a little more about secular morality. Feel free, however, to continue giving your opinion without my permission.

This isn't rationality, it's just learned helplessness. To say the least, people have changed things before, and will change them again. You have changed things, even if they were very small.

From neuroscience, there's the default mode network.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

> It is best known for being active when a person is not focused on the outside world and the brain is at wakeful rest, such as during daydreaming and mind-wandering.

Apparently, activation of the DMN is correlated to rumination, itself correlated to depression.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31655111/

Interestingly, one thing often suggested to counter depression these days – meditation – generally says right on the tin that you're supposed to get into a wakeful rest state, but specifically try to avoid daydreaming and mind-wandering.

I'm not saying they haven't been doing things, but the big decentralized Internet they touted from the beginning still doesn't exist AFAIK.

When I can host a website and have it stay up indefinitely with zero maintenance.. then I think they have something.

I'm sure it's an enormous amount of work and I did buy some coin so I don't mean to be disparaging, but I stopped tracking updates after a couple years because it's all been technical mumbo jumbo and they don't seem to be moving the needle. They've had many "test networks" over the years.
There was a French comic book series (whose name escapes me), which I think is heavily inspired by Gormenghast. It followed a girl/young lady who had been kidnapped/sold off to the (illusive) lord of the house, and her discovery of the unique rules of the house, which seems to have a life of its own, and the petty (to this new outsider) squabbles of its inhabitants, servants and "nobles" alike.

I'm having a hard time finding that comic book series across the translation barrier.

How would this even be technically enforced? It seems TikTok would have no reason to pay for any fines from the state.
> It's considered a dual-intent visa by USCIS which means that the USCIS also sees it as the first step to permanent immigration and naturalization.

The way the “dual intent” thing works is not by making it a non-temporary, or immigrant visa. It is still a temporary, non-immigrant visa, and the law still says that having immigration intent still is grounds for refusing entry. The only thing the “dual entry” legislation did was to create the legal fiction, where the USCIS/CBP are not allowed to use the application for a green card as evidence of immigration intent.

Before 1990 or so, as soon as you applied for a green card while on H1B, your visa (though not status) became effectively invalid. You couldn’t leave the country, because you’d be denied entry, given your immigration intent. You couldn’t also apply for extension of H1B visa for the same reason.

Today, according to law, you are still not allowed to have immigration intent while on H1B, it’s just now applying for a green card does not constitute evidence of immigration intent (which is, of course, entirely a legal fiction).

The US immigration law and practice is completely insane. We have non-immigrant visas that, through legal fiction, are used to facilitate immigrations. At the same time, we have millions of people illegally crossing the border and making bogus asylum claims, which everyone understands to just be an immigration back door, created not through legislation, but rather discretion in enforcement. Instead of reforming the law to make it sane, and enforcing it (similar to eg. what Canada or Australia have), we have insane law, and strictly enforce it only against people who would be most valuable to have here.
Aye, the "diagram" shows nothing of the topology. Can the rp2040 run the show with the Zero not even attached? That would be interesting.
