> Zoom has issues with hardware acceleration and screen sharing on Linux, similarly with Discord.

I have no idea what the issues are. I've been using screen sharing for years and I haven't run into any issues. Same with my friends and family who switched to Zorin from Windows.

> Netflix requires specific setup to work at all, and you get 720p at best unless you use Chrome with some custom extension to get 1080p at best.

Ah, support issue I guess. Yes, Linux is sometimes not treated well by these companies but at least workarounds exist.

> but a laptop with a trackpad, BT, wifi, sleep, and USB-connected accessories, that gets dicey.

I have used Ryzen and Intel laptops and the only issue I've run into is Ubuntu installer not booting because of missing Nvidia drivers, whereas Zorin worked fine on day 1 (when Ryzen 5th gen was quite new).

Other than that, I haven't had any issues. My desktop's WiFi USB Adapter needs third party drivers so that's always an extra step whenever I'm installing new distros, but I haven't run into any issues that make the device unusable or work in a broken state.

The Bluetooth issues you just mentioned, I haven't seen any, and I am currently writing this on an HP Pavilion 15 Gaming laptop with Bluetooth connected to my speakers. I'm sure there are a few bluetooth chipsets that need kernel updates. For example, Victus has a mediatek BT+WiFi chip and it needs the latest 6.2 kernel, so it doesn't work on Zorin out of the box. However, upgrading kernels on Zorin is quite easy and there's a guide on the forums: http://maglit.me/upgrade-zorin-kernel

Besides, Linux in its current state is still a lot better than terrible software like Windows. No ads, no spyware, the system runs smooth no matter how old the installation is. All of these things are a luxury on the Windows side; it's terrible software.

What is bad about using less energy? What is good about using more?
I am often at dissonance with the HN hive mind and thus I find myself delighted by your post, I think it expands on what is out there.

I think being able to reward post authors with something of value vs platform specific "coins" is excellent. People should be compensated for their work.

I also think that ML can and will play an important role in intermediating human discussion. From preventing flamewars and personal attacks to detecting logical fallacies.

Reddit isn't good, it is just the one of the best things we have right now in terms of audience and breadth of subject matter. It is basically AOL+Usenet without the advantages of Usenet.

Having posts and tags doesn't make it a Reddit replacement, because a lot of what reddit is about is specific subs about a particular topic. Sure, you can find that hyperplane of folks that like the same tag, etc. But that doesn't seem to work.

Lobsters [1] is also that HN/Reddit alternative and while it has a large subscriber count, it doesn't have the discussion volume.

One of the biggest problems with all of sosh-meeds is that it is designed to a constant stream of ephemeral distractions to engage eyeballs to see ads.

The static viewer, river of artifacts that we drop hot takes on for forum points is what needs to get replaced.

I think you are on to something, but it looks more like a link aggregator with comments than a forum to build discussions around topics.

Saying that the Raku Programming Language is a flub, indicates to me that you do not know it at all. Getting Unicode support right by itself should be an indication that it is better than Python 3 in that respect. And let's not start about the fact that the Raku Programming Language does not have a GIL, allowing true multi-processing features and event handling.

Saturating 16 lanes is very doable, although for a very short amount of time. You'll never see it last more than half a second at absolute worst on normal usage, maybe more if you're trying to upload on a 192GB GPU or something. But since most uses evict data out of GPU RAM before writing instead of blindly overwriting, it's not a problem you could ever reasonably have.

Do any IBM products have UTF-EBCDIC as a supported configuration option? Does anyone use it?

Oracle RDBMS supports "UTFE" on EBCDIC platforms, which is to UTF-EBCDIC what CESU-8 is to UTF-8 – i.e. UTF-EBCDIC but with codepoints outside the BMP encoded using surrogates. Over the last couple of decades, the only EBCDIC platforms Oracle RDBMS has been supported on have been z/OS and BS2000/OSD – once upon a time it was also available on VM/CMS (not sure when that was discontinued), and possibly more besides (in the 80s thru early 90s, Oracle ported their DB to just about everything under the sun, they later became much more selective in what they'd support). The z/OS port was discontinued with version 10gR2 (initial release 2005, final patchset 2010) – although, while Oracle normally puts a time limit on their pay-extra support for patches for old versions ("extended support"), exceptionally they've said for the z/OS port they'll continue offering that as long as customers want it. So the only remaining EBCDIC port of Oracle RDBMS is Fujitsu BS2000/OSD – I think the only reason that port survives is because Fujitsu pays Oracle to keep on producing it.

mksh (MirBSD's ksh) supports some custom EBCDIC encoding of UTF-8 (so-called "nega-UTF-8"), instead of proper UTF-EBCDIC. One difference is that UTF-EBCDIC avoids using the C1 controls (bytes 0x80 thru 0x9F), so EBCDIC control characters can be left intact, whereas "nega-UTF-8" just converts UTF-8 to EBCDIC using an arbitrary EBCDIC code page, hence failing to fully preserve the full complement of EBCDIC control characters. Also, while UTF-EBCDIC is based on a fixed EBCDIC code page (1047), "nega-UTF-8" isn't, so it really isn't a single encoding, rather a family of them.

Has anyone else ever implemented UTF-EBCDIC, or something similar (given neither Oracle UTFE nor mksh's nega-UTF-8 are actually UTF-EBCDIC)? Years ago, I wrote an implementation of it myself (in Java), which I've never released – not for any work-related purpose, just as a private exercise in recreational programming. Actually, I have an FTP server I wrote which serves up UTF-EBCDIC as "TYPE E", but I could never test it properly, because (at the time) I couldn't find an FTP client which actually implemented TYPE E. I think I later found one, but by then I'd lost interest in pursuing it any further.

I have plethora of this SBCs. A Raspberry Pi 4 is acting as a HiFiBerry system at my parents' home, replacing a component Hi-Fi. With high end 2x35W amplifier and quite a nice software stack, my parents can listen whatever they wish to do with their old high quality speakers in a very practical manner. Sound quality is superb, too. HiFiBerry amplifiers are no slouch.

I ran an OrangePi Zero/512MB with BitTorrent, DNS, FTP, Syncthing, WebFS http server. It served as the perfect home server.

I'm currently setting up an OrangePi 5B with 8GB RAM to replace my old desktop computer's duties. Cloud backups, video encoding, local DNS, etc. Also, it'll take over the previous Zero's roles too, and with almost no cables, it'll replace and even supersede my old Desktop computer, and make my life much easier.

These things are immensely useful.

You must be unaware of the phenomenon of /int/ :DDDD

First found on the German site Krautchan, you could hardly describe a forum so inclusive as one dedicated to cultural exchange where anyone may flame in any thread in any language. The concept spread quickly among the chans. And so the users of the /int/ boards became worldwide pollinators of memes, the DNA of the soul.

That optimistic era is passed, however /int/ remains the sixth most active board of 4chan.
Some would argue the human experience is inherently social, with other humans and the lack of stable community (putting down roots amongst friends, family and a hyperlocal community) isn't realizing said experience to the fullest. To each their own though.
I'm aware of this; I think many ordinary people and lawmakers are perhaps less clear on it, and that making it easy to see would help people understand the situation.
My life blew up involuntarily a year ago when my relationship broke down. I wanted to do all sorts of things at the time - sell the (unfinished) house, change my job, move to a different city etc. I read some articles on how to deal with it and one thing addressed the point of moving - you are you no matter where you are. Banal, I know.

Since then I took a slightly different path and I've been working on my life steadily. I'm taking care of my physical health, I've been doing work on the house and I try to socialise more. I think I still want to move eventually (as I don't have family/many friends in the city anyway), but I'm happy I didn't do it straight away. I think there's a big risk in blowing up your life and trying to change everything at once, it might be overwhelming.

You're comparing a single, well managed project that had put effort into user onboarding against all projects of a different language and proclaiming that an entire language/ecosystem is crap.

It's been going on for a long long time. Why people are only concerned about it now is probably the most surprising part for me personally. It's not like this has been a secret, there have been articles about it for years.

The stuff those profiles, etc include though, and what they try to determine about us citizens... That's for us to never know.

I'd love to do the same but I generally find it uncomfortable to use a laptop for two reasons:

The screen is too far down so I have to bend my back and neck to look at the screen causing neck pain.

The screen is at the right height, but because it's a laptop the keyboard is too far up and it's tiring for my hands.

I can't think of a solution to this other than bringing a keyboard, mouse and some awkward stand to elevate the laptop as a screen.
>the inputs are in conflict!

Better for safety to have conflicting inputs that require an arbiter (even human), than a system that's confidently wrong on a single input and drives you at full speed into a 'Wile E. Coyote' wall painted to look like a tunnel. [1]

Since the moon landing, for safety, all aeronautics have been built around triple voting arbitration system where the correct answer is the one voted by the majority. This triple voting system has been adopted in many ECUs running safety critical operation in modern cars and we should demand it for self driving tech as well if we wish to have autonomous driving that's actually autonomous and also doesn't confidently try to kill you at times.

>But there’s a cost to the software system when you add more inputs both in training and prediction

Yes, not getting people killed, who are traveling in fast moving heavy machineries, is a very expensive problem to solve(ask the aero industry), welcome to the real world of actual engineering where safety must be taken seriously, and not brushed aside by overhyped SV fantasies of playing fast and loose with regulations and human lives for the sake of "disruption".

> and yet, Apple charges for it as if it was a real workstation equipment rather than a phone in a massive enclosure.

Ignoring the no true scotsman argument, I'm not sure this is even an insult. Apple improved their phone CPUs to the point where they compete very well in the desktop space and in some workstation (for any meaning of this term) environments. It's what Intel did to traditional workstation vendors long ago, and is classic Innovators Dilemma. Typically that happens from a small startup and not some industry leading company though. Shame on Intel and AMD for not seeing this coming, since it had been telegraphed for years.

I absolutely love the CDK's typed approach. Having said that, I still would choose Terraform over CDK mainly because of the way they handle drift detection / drift resolution. Basically, with CDK and the underlying CloudFormation, you can get told that there's a drift. And that's it; now you have to go and fix it manually. Someone deleted half your infra? Well, have fun rebuilding it by hand. With terraform, you just apply again, and it fixes the drift.

There are a number of other subtler topics as well. In my experience, Terraform tends to be noticeably quicker to run (when the limiting factor is not some AWS service that's spinning up for ages - but usually that is not the case after the first run). And just because you're mostly vendor locked, doesn't mean you don't have a few 3rd party vendors to also integrate; it's nice to have a wider support for these providers. While the CDK's types are more consistent than the Terraform ecosystem and generally lead to faster prototyping, the type system itself only protects you from a small subset of errors. You can still wire things together that will never work, and you'll only find out at deploy time. Lastly, I've often found the CDK's versioning to be fairly odd. I get the idea behind stable and experimental packages, and the need to be explicit about these. However, it seems odd that certain packages spend _years_ in experimental, despite being absolutely mainstream from the very beginning (I am looking at you, API Gateway V2 - though it's been a few months since I last checked).

(OK, so this was a bit more tongue-in-cheek than I normally go for. I'm somewhat frustrated by CDK because it has so much going for it, that when it disappoints me, it really hurts.)
