> There should be a way to try out your application and ideally a step-by-step instruction for how to self host it. To increase adoption provide people with Ansible, Chef, Docker, Cloud init and other pre-baked scripts so they can just about drop it into an environment with minimal configuration, fire up the required servers and tie everything into it.

I know it's not exactly what you asked, but just by the way, installing Userify for the first time can be as easy as

curl https://i.userify.com|sudo -sE

and then it has pre-built recipes right in the dashboard for Ansible, Chef, Cloud Init, etc. I guess we need to talk about that a bit more!

(It also includes a 20 server license for free, so you can use it for a decent-sized project or startup without paying anything.)

Go one level deeper and you'll find the problem with all of academia (source: I have a PhD).

Most of academic science as we know it today is structured so that the output is "publishable" and/or helps future grant applications. Incremental improvements are very publishable, but that doesn't necessarily make good science. Grants are awarded to scientists who are consistently able to deliver results, in the form of published papers. I can only really speak for my little corner of science, but from my view, the entire incentive structure of science is broken.
I listened to the audio as well. Can you please explain how you think Spez interpreted the threat?

Arch Linux is a meme but also a really solid distro. I'm writing this from a 2+ year old Arch install that has had basically 0 stability issues. "Rolling release" gets an undeserved bad reputation in my opinion, and many arch packages aren't as bleeding edge as you'd expect.

Compared to Ubuntu where I'd often have major issues in between releases, I don't think I could ever go back.

If you have the stomach for starting from nothing and installing only what you need, Alpine is wonderful. It uses musl libc so there are some things you need flatpaks for, but the vast majority of stuff I've tried just works, and it's small enough that the entire OS is comprehensible to a mere mortal.
>And you are parroting the LLMs are stochastic parrots argument.

But...it is. It's an incredibly complex and impressive stochastic parrot - but that's basically what it is.

That doesn't mean it can't be useful. It absolutely can. There are some problems that will likely be greatly improved by throwing an LLM at it.

What I am saying is that people need to temper their expectations and not get caught up in tech fanaticism and anthropomorphize something that isn't there.

The fuel pump rates are very extreme. A plane can take off heavier than it can land. So if it is fully fueled and shortly after take off it needs to land due to emergency, it will need to dump thousands of pounds of fuel in minutes. The typical design and workflow of a larger jet like this is the engines are feed by the fuel tank nearest them. The flight engineer is on constant duty to continuously pump fuel from the center tank and/or other fuselage tanks to the tanks feeding the engines.
There is not that much caffeine in Red Bull surprisingly. It’s a lot compared to a soda but it pales if you compare it to coffee: it’s approximately half as much as what’s in an espresso. Caffeine-wise, drinking two cans should be fine (provided you don’t drink a ton of other caffeinated beverages).

Honestly my first guess here is that we are in the presence of a confounding variable. I can somewhat imagine the life style which goes with having to drink two cans of Red Bull everyday. The cause of the sleep problems starting at the beginning of early middle age might actually be found here.
Good for you I guess, but most features I need aren't offered by web apps. Paradoxically, Linux is the only platform where desktop apps are the default.
I am astounded that Steve Huffman would do this. There was the incident ~7 years ago where he silently edited a post that criticized him, but I thought he would have learned from that, and this is so much worse.

How many percents of the Linux repositories is spam? What about F-Droid?
He said he could make the pricing work at half what reddit is asking, for $1.26/mo base API cost. I assume he has the best insight into his own business. I was just conservatively spitballing that doubling his revenue would mean he could manage the price Reddit is asking (since he said he could make due with half). Just looking at it from the other angle.
Cheers. That looks more interesting than the other headline too.
I'm was sticking to ubuntu because

1. NVidia seem to love debian/ubuntu more that other distros, and in general I don't want to waste much time with setting up machine learning env/CUDA on my machines

2. work has debian based distro, so using same tool/mindset is convenient

but I really want to get rid of it because of snaps and overall attitute (previous controversies with their unity desktop manager, ads in it etc). I kind of didn't cared much then as I switched to Mint linux (even that had different distro names to annoy when need to set nvidia) and went back then ubuntu + i3. Right now it seems it's time to ditch ubuntu completely.
It's a defense mechanism, to deal with cognitive dissonance. People hate wasps, they're comfortable being allowed to hate wasps by society, they don't want to be told they suddenly need to have compassion for an outgroup, and so they double down.

For the same reason, a common response of non-vegans to meeting a vegan is a sudden compulsion to list all the "reasons" why that would be impossible for them - "Oh I could never be vegan because I like $FOOD too much / I require $NUTRIENT / I am biologically incompatible for $REASON." These excuses invariably collapse under the mildest scrutiny, but applying that scrutiny causes an emotional response and therein reveals the real reason - the mere presence of a vegan causes cognitive dissonance. To avoid feeling like a bad person, they must double down.
I personally have tons against the agency. The most morally confused people on the face of the earth. To each their own.
I've dabbled with various flavors of Linux for a few years. Started with Ubuntu in college, then ran Linux Mint for about 6 months on my gaming rig before giving up and going back to Windows.

Most recently, I had Manjaro running on my Thinkpad for about 3 years before I wiped it and put W10 on it for my fiancee. Since getting a Steam Deck I've been eyeballing Linux on the desktop again, having seen firsthand how well Proton works.

Having effectively been a Linux baby 3 times, I have to say Manjaro was everything I thought Ubuntu would be when I tried it. I remember Ubuntu being intractable, hard to use, and weird to update. Manjaro seemed almost effortless to use, and honestly I'd probably recommend it to a Windows user over any other offerings at the current juncture.
I read through the comments here and I’m not excited at all about using something other than Ubuntu.

Instead I’m solidly confident that macOS as a daily driver is the right choice for a busy developer who doesn’t want to mess with stuff.
I mean in general. If one takes a look at the operating system of, let's say the US; what would one see? A large part of it, is the mess I'm talking about.

Or maybe I'm wrong, because at the end of the day, someone has to pay the salaries: money circulation yade-yada, but on the other hand, big lawyers are filthy rich; what do we make out of that?
The Crazy $6B Plan to Turn Wind into Gasoline
Anecdata: I've used Arch Linux for several years and it's been probably 3-4 years since I've had any stability issues with it after upgrading. And the last time I did run into problems, it was from bugs in the open source AMD GPU drivers due to how relatively immature they were at the time.

Would I use it for a mission critical workstation or server? Probably not. But for daily personal use, it's been completely fine for me and I would highly recommend it to others.

Slightly tangential question: Is there a distro that has a stable "core" (kernel, maybe some userspace libraries) but uses rolling releases for everything else? Ideally, that would probably give you the best of both worlds for a personal machine.
It might be legal from Canada's perspective, but that doesn't necessarily mean legal action couldn't be taken in the US. Is there something specific to the law on recording phone calls that makes this not a problem?
Ultimately pursuing grants
We’ll think about it from the tech perspective: the companies that control marketplaces and access hold all the power.

Sure you have companies like apple that make $$$ from hardware, but most HW players in tech get slowly replaced offshore. Silicon Valley was silicon valley because of hardware. Now it’s mostly software, and HW is increasingly a commodity.

It’s the same thing elsewhere in the economy… it’s easier to set up a factory to sell something anywhere, but when you control buyers, you’re rich. The US is still the shopping powerhouse of the world… and even massive markets like China can’t consume as much because they just don’t have as much money.
My Lemmy instance just went dark and tosses 404 errors about JSON responses. Its also now removed from the join-lemmy.org site and some of the trackers.

And to be honest I have no idea if it will come back....I guess this is the risk of choosing instances.

I considered buying a domain and setting up my own instance..If for no other reason than to be in control of the account I use for this reason (of course the domain i priced has been picked up since it seems the migration is happening and i missed the boat.)

You might be right about the voting system, but reddit- (and HN-) style threading is so much better for following discussions as they naturally branch into different things. Trying to follow a certain "thread" of discussion in a traditional linear forum thread can be next to impossible when you have 10s of pages to flip through looking for any replies addressed to a comment on page 4.

Embedded Skills Tree
I made the same move a few years ago and honestly never looked back. Manjaro might have its warts, but it works really well, has an active community, and gives almost all the advantages of Arch (the AUR is amazing!) for "cowards" like me. Manjaro "just worked" and it has been extremely easy to roll with the updates since install. I have since migrated other machines to Manjaro happily.

Nice! I’ll try to use this on the next project that I design.
Debian is pretty nice. I tried it after a new cloud provider didn't have option for Alpine Linux, which would be my first choice. Using Ubuntu had given me fear of anything related to it, so I was skeptical at first, but so far it has been a solid experience. The only thing I will never accept is services being started immediately after installing packages.
It’s absolutely not that, not from a hundred miles. The guy was jokingly telling that if the free usage of reddit’s apis cost them $20million bucks in a year, than for half of that he can “quit down” the API calls by shutting down the app, letting the users back to the main site where they could generate that opportunity cost.
Obviously the real driver of aging is that there was no selective pressure to keep the organism working after sufficient semi-clones were brought online, and keeping an organism functional is a hard problem.

The solution is to gain the ability to simulate the organism that results from a particular DNA sequence, understand the design problems in the organism, fix the problems, then alter human DNA to include the fixes.

We aren’t going to find a simple fix, sorry everyone.

Stability and update frequency are inversely correlated. It’s largely an unavoidable trade-off.

It makes perfect sense to me that you’d feel that Fedora struck a better balance for you.

Many people prefer Debian based distros. Some people use Debian on the desktop because they prefer less frequent updates (among other reasons).

I’m just stating the obvious here, really.
it's been fascinating seeing the expanded representation in imported goods. I bought a baseball the other day and it was made in Cambodia. I think that was a first for me. Seeing lots of tools shift to Taiwan which has long been in the tool fabrication business. Textiles from India. Seems like the stuff I'm seeing in stores in the last say 6 months have dispersed away from China. I think a lot of plastics still come from China I want to say though.
In third grade parlance it is correct to say computers struggle with too many digits.
The Magic Leap 2 does. It works ok. It's not as completely useless as armchair quarterbacks on line would have you believe. But it's also not the greatest thing. Objects are a little fuzzy around the edges and friend on the accuracy of the object surface detection. So moving objects can lag.
Ah, apologies, I read your comment as alluding to statistics as a reason to dismiss intelligence in machines
I just deleted Apollo from my phone. Rip the bandaid off now, rather than wait until the 30th. In place of the icon on my home screen I put Kindle. Seems fitting.

I deleted twitter a couple of months ago.

This feels like a positive move for me.
Debian testing is more stable than other "so-called stable" distros, and has often newer packages than the contemporary ubuntu version.
I don't think it is so much the snaps that are the problem, but that it is hard to get around them. I choose not to use snaps (or would like to choose that), but I find I am constantly fighting them. Why do I have a mount of some snap thing? Why does Firefox have to be a snap? I have enough things to know about without having to learn about snaps. sigh. So I am moving away from Ubuntu after years of being a happy user. It is not a hate thing, it is because either the choice to use snaps is not mine or because I am too stupid to know how to get rid of them.
I disagree that higher resolution alone makes it worth talking about. Meta can churn out high quality screens as well as Apple, for a price. The more compelling angle is how they have nailed the interface with eye and hand tracking and if this works as well in real-world environments as it did in their demo setup.

Apple has a tech advantage lately with their software and hardware stack. But historically their products have done well because of product features not because of tech advantages. There is a non-zero chance you get an almost $4K device as hamstrung as an iPad.

So the question still remains, what are they going to do with it? It has much potential. But in some ironic twist of fate it is Meta taking the product first approach here. And Apple’s closed ecosystem (not to mention high price) puts them at a huge disadvantage to target the social/gaming angle of “spatial computing”.

It’s not over yet, and in general this is exciting because competition will start to ramp up.
Isn't Manjaro the distro that constantly fails to renew their SSL certificates, pushes security updates way too late, and distributed software that brought down the AUR a couple of times?

I have never used it myself, but from everything I've heard about it I'm kind of surprised how popular it is.
I had a professor remark once (this is circa 2009) that we should all learn a highly skilled trade around advanced manufacturing because eventually offshoring will reverse itself and by your early 30s you'll be in a prime position to profit immensely off the re-shoring of advanced manufacturing equipment and processes

Maybe he was right. I'm in my early 30s now, and I don't regret becoming a software engineer, but all the highly skilled tradesmen I've met in the last 5 years make at least what I do, often more, and have the benefit of actually owning their own businesses or real, meaningful slices of other ones.

I'll boldly admit I don't think I would like over physical labor and I do wonder about the toll of it long term, but they make a killing, especially the ones willing to travel all over the US.

Granted, the highest earner I know has both a degree in CS and Industrial Engineering, and goes all over the place working with industrial robotics and makes piles of money doing it. More than elite SV companies in the last 3 years, IIRC, if you discount the stock based compensation package (simply salary to salary comparisons) its north of 300K.

And arguably better retirement benefits, I think 12% goes to the 401K and they get bonuses every quarter right now. Well invested I bet he'd come out ahead. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the company though.

EDIT: forgot to mention the folks making tons of money on the DoD now starting to require things made in the USA and sourced raw materials from either inside the US or from friendly approved countries from the last few years either, and I don't think that's going away any time soon. They've in the last 2-3 years started paying lots and lots of money to get suppliers that are US based and source their raw material from friendly nations only, and they pay alot of money to make it worth while.
I am waiting with great anticipation to see how they spin this in the AMA tomorrow. Anything short of Steve editing the posts himself and I will be disappointed /s. To the Reddit and Steve apologists, you will be on the wrong side of history.
> I don't get it.

It’s Apple. There is nothing else to understand. Just because of who they are, some people will claim it will change the world and some people will claim it’s bullshit or not working or evil. There are many more of the latter and they are quite annoying, but the best that can be done is ignore them.

> They've moved the needle in a positive direction, that's all that should matter.

Some people cannot seem to understand that a company whose interests align with those of the consumers, however imperfectly, is better than a company whose policy relies only on ideology. Then you have the contrarians who will claim that they are lying and black is white anyway.
>He thinks that Apollo is threatening to blast them on social media?

Threaten him with pretty much what he did. We'll go quietly instead of making a large amount of noise and complaining and getting the generally hostile Reddit user base riled up.
I don't want snaps anywhere. Definitely not on the server (ever looked how much RAM it takes on a machine with 512MB - 1GB of RAM?) and also not on the desktop.

I don't have to optimise my machine to get the calculator run within 1-2 seconds, this is just bad by design and there is no excuse.

They are an abomination or workaround for problems in OS library packaging (& manager) and OS security concepts.

If snaps are so cool why are there no similar concepts in other famous major desktops (even non Linux)?
Again, a common excuse made by every generation. "<insert new tech here> is making them weak!!" There's a well-known xkcd about it. [1] They used to complain about bicycles.
