I support a markdown WYSIWYG flow and it is a constant source of pain for our users. At this point I just tell our users to write markdown plain - and after a 10 minute tutorial, everyone is comfortable doing that.

Slack's "markdown" is horrifically broken and one of the worst markdown experiences in existence. I believe they no longer even refer to it as markdown since they have strayed so far from the spec.
So my opinion, having worked in the space for years and the author of this post, is that the vast majority of people (engineers included) underestimate the sheer amount of work building a kernel that can run lots of applications on various clouds takes. Linux has been in development for ~30 years, Unix for 50.

That is to say it isn't necessarily lack of use-cases - it is ensuring you have enough support built for said use-cases when some user wants to use it. I'll give an example. Years ago people would say something like "I see you have GCP support - that's awesome - what about Azure?" Back then I'd say something like, well, give us a month cause we have to write new disk/network drivers but yes we can make that happen - a month is too long for that person though and so you immediately lose that person as a user/potential customer and have to wait until they come back. (We have great azure support now fyi.) Now take that same example and add it to every language, every cloud, etc. It's a ton of work.
Not personally a consumer of RHEL or other binary-compatible distros, so I'm probably out of the loop, but the phrasing of this comes across like Rocky may be less honest than the other companies you have listed. Is this the way it is meant (i.e. have they exhibited dishonest behavior)?
I find it surprising that Oceania consistently has the highest bandwidth and lowest latency. Why would that be?
Yep, been burned by this quite a bit couple of years ago.
Since then, I've refused to do any asymmetric interview processes. Surprisingly, a lot of companies are willing to skip that part and go straight to the "on-site" interviews.

If more engineers start to refuse these kinds of "dance, monkey, dance" processes, they'll start phasing them out.
I have no idea what ethnos has to do with human trafficking, but could see searching for it to learn what it is. Having a single keyword disable all related accounts for a week could be devastating. I have so much account recovery that goes through Gmail that it would take months to unwind.
You might be right, but I'm dubious.

> but in this new world?

This "new world" isn't actually all that new, though. I guess depending on when you count it as starting -- you brought up literacy being a premium in the "old world", which was largely a very long time ago, before the concept of copyright existed.
>It keeps fluoride in your saliva.

I know this is posed as a positive, but I have a feeling in 1000 years we are going to be laughed at like the Romans for putting lead in their wine.

Anyway, my dentist told me to leave the fluoride on my teeth for a few minutes. Wonder if that is more dangerous due to the concentration.
Awesome thanks for getting back to me, all of those decisions make sense to me :)

If you ran Windows NT on the bare minimum it was not as slow (barring hitting swap) as Windows 11 on the bare minimum hardware. Not even close. Windows NT on the minimum hardware wasn't a joy exactly but it was certainly workable. If you run Win11 on the bare minimum you'll very quickly learn to hate everything.
The article says they needed another 11 the next year. Buying a couple hundred seems sensible if (as I suspect it is) most of the cost is at the project level rather than the unit level.

> And why did the government spend $8M(!!) in unused solar panels?

Spares? A lower than expected defect rate? Who knows? Paul doesn't provide useful specifics, just the politically sexy top-level numbers.

In an organization with a multi-trillion dollar annual budget, $8M in unused solar panels is a bit like you throwing away a ream of paper that got some water damage.
They do have a better example with Windows 2000 on the Pentium 3 which is very era appropriate.

I see similar sluggishness opening command prompt on my Ryzen 3700X with 64GB RAM on Windows 11 22H2 with an NVME SSD. First it draws the outline of the window then fills it in with content. And that's repeatable!
If you consider a firecracker app to be like a unikernel (just not integrated into one binary) then it’s certainly lighter weight than a Docker image.
The Mac is no better, in my experience. I just timed how long it takes to open the Calculator app – the simplest app I could think of – on my 2019 MacBook Pro, and the window appears 600ms after clicking on the dock icon. I would not call that immediate, and it only gets worse when you try more complex applications, especially those written in Electron.

Yup. Meanwhile I can fire up nvim or Gnumeric and they also launch basically instantaneously. Selection bias, it's a thing.
They've intended to do this consistently, but confounding factors like air quality guidelines have prevented them from keeping up with the required rate of controlled burns.

I can't recall exactly how far behind they are, but if they're permitted to put aside those constraints (unlikely) it'll still take decades at this point.

Or we could switch to eating plants now.

We could stay on our 1% of habitable earth, lower our agricultural footprint from 48% of land to 15%, use quarter of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers, double forest area and store entire 1.5C carbon budget (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-020-00603-4) in the process, and enable return of wildlife and sealife (also storing a lot of carbon in them https://www.oneearth.org/how-restoring-key-wildlife-species-...).
> Not really. Nothing random about the output of LLMs. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01618-2

I can see what you are getting at, but the underlying implementation of LLMs really is reliant on non-deterministic, random sampling of the underlying model. The random sampling is weighted to favor certain selections over others, but rare selections are possible.

Its intrinsically built on a degree of randomness. Though it is also unfair to say something like "produce random output" as the probabilities themselves make it less than fully random.

I tried tumbleweed after hearing much about it being stable.

Turned out, the swaywm package was broken, and I saw a post from someone that it had broken several times in the past few months.

I know it is not exactly a "common" package, but Manjaro has been far more stable for me than that experience was, even on lesser-used packages.
> Most shortages involve low-cost, off-patent generic drugs, which have profit margins that are razor-thin to non-existent.

Drug manufacturing, and people's health, should not depend on profit margins. The free market is great for many things, but not those things which cannot go bankrupt and fail.
Fun story re: the term "explosion-proof":

I was given a tour of an industrial facility where conditions required explosion-proof equipment. The tour guide made a point of calling out the explosion-proof motors in one of the rooms.

One of the other tour group members asked the question "Why would it matter if these motors survived an explosion?"

I visualized the facility exploding in a fiery blaze and a motor, fully intact, tracing a high parabola into the sky and landing, unscathed, in the front yard of a house.

The tour guide had to awkwardly answer: "Explosion-proof means that it won't cause an explosion."
Then please explain my wrongness levels. Apart from data grab, what is the issue? Could company be accountable if somebody logged in with correct username and password and posted legal pictures?

I am against factory farming, but I think the CO2 numbers are usually "Co2 equivalent" (at least if the study is being honest) and sources put cows at 100kg/kg to 300kg/kg for CO2eq - several I found say that 188kg CO2eq is a fair number to use (the U.S. apparently is much lower, even as low as 70kgCO2eq?)
I'm not sure why I highlighted that because indeed that wouldn't be useful, though as a proxy for density it is (apparently they picked it for its buoyancy).

I recently encountered this from both sides in my work. I was trying to get a particular single-threaded CPU program running in less than 1 microsecond. Light goes about 300m in that time. I remember reading around the same time that the Eiffel Tower is about 300m tall. So it stuck in my head that if someone switched a flashlight on at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower at the same time as my program starts the program should complete before someone at the top of the tower sees the light.
That explains their move to make private repos free a few years ago.

What frustrates me is that it feels like they didn't announce their intentions of what they'd do with your code. They use the same kind of verbiage ib t&c as they would to tell they collect some usage telemetry and might occasionally share it with partners. And that is definitely not the same.
I recall hearing a mathematician say "0 and 1 and infinity are the only sensible numbers. Everything else is quirky."
That should be a career-ending move, not a fine.
It's not even very obvious what won't arc. FreshDirect sells pre-cooked turkey burgers. They come in a metal container with the edges bent over in a way to allow a plastic lid to snap on. Their official cooking instructions stay to just remove the lid and put the container in the microwave. It was surprising, but it doesn't have any arcing issues.
The meat still comes from animals. It does not satisfy the constraints of veganism.
> actually wastes time because of the "___" and "|" scaffolding required.

I think you might be under a mistaken assumption here, because I don't think that this is factual.

The only way I could see your misunderstanding is if you think the quantity of whitespace in markdown tables is important, which it isn't.

This is a working md table and it's not harder to make then the equivalent html version

|Header one|header two|
|---|---|
|Column value 1|column value one|
|value 2|value two|

Etc

Wherever what's preferable is another story though.

Personally I dislike writing plain html, and would always prefer another template language to generate it, but that's just preference.
Completely agree with you, if reddit didn't provide anything useful it would be really easy to just leave it and go somewhere else.

Reddit has built a massive community of users that everyone takes for granted, it may be easy to replicate the site code, but it is far from what reddit means, building a community is a massive effort.

This remind me of this Jeff Atwood article where he talks about building a Stack Overflow clone: https://blog.codinghorror.com/code-its-trivial/

This is important research that needs to be done. However, this is an expected result at this stage. This technology has not been scaled up and has not been optimized - it would be premature to do so at this point. I’m sure if and when this becomes viable at mass scale, more substantial efforts will be made in reducing CO2 output.
Whoa so fun!!!! I love using Excel for a videogame!!!!!
The argument? It's not an argument - livestock does produce CO2. It is a fact. I don't eat meat partially for this reason.

I still have no idea what it means with regards to your original statement.

I'm not at all talking about optional goods and services.

> I acknowledge there are cases where it’s effectively impossible in modern society, such as with giving out your info to get a cell phone

Or if you pay rent, own real estate or a car, buy anything using a method other than cash, have electrical or other utility service, etc.

You are forced to give out your information for almost everything you need in order to live in modern society.
I'm gonna guess here that the biggest chunk is the antivirus. Turning off Windows Defender's protection(s) should give the first visible speed boost, if that's what you prefer.

Another big chunk of this likely happened when they hardened the graphics subsystem for security. Win32 user calls are unbelievably expensive nowadays. SendMessage etc. have a ton of overhead.

Another chunk is likely the sheer number of expensive DLLs that need to be loaded and initialized with most apps. For example, IIRC, the moment you load COM or WinSock DLLs, your app stops loading snappily. Pretty much anything will load COM even without intending to.

Another chunk is IMM - the ctfmon process you love, for multi-language/keyboard support. ImmDisable(0) can make loading a bit snappier, but then good luck with keyboard switching and the like. It uses window hooks, which are slow Win32 calls as mentioned.

People think it's just a matter of writing plain Win32, but that's not the whole story, although it certainly helps compared to more heavyweight frameworks.
You can't automate installing ram, or a bunch of other things.

Electronics will get more expensive.

Maybe that's not only ok, but actually desirable. More expensive electronics might help reduce ewaste (which is VERY hazardous in aggregate) and push manufacturers to go back to repairable and upgradeable designs.
I went down that rabbit hole as well, and I also settled on Outline for our business. We haven't widely deployed it yet, but it's been working great during our limited testing. It is sorely missing robust embeds, however!
Climate change and poor forest management can both contribute to wildfires, but our current mechanisms for political discourse have extremely low bitrates and can't handle discussion of problems with multivariate inputs.

I'm of the opinion that the Windows NT family went downhill after Microsoft moved Dave Cutler from running Windows NT development to running other projects (Windows x64, XBox, Azure).

Dave's no excuses attitude towards performance and stability is sorely missed.

I know people who ran Windows Server 2003 as a client OS, which was the last version of NT that Dave was in charge of.
Those are not American pickups, except for Ford f150, etc. And you don't see a lot of those in the Netherlands, very impractical.

>Honestly japanese studios has an insane year in 2023 (Zelda

Zelda TotK seems to be pretty disappointing from what I read. After BOTW I finally gave up playing every Zelda game.

Nintendo is the best when it comes to video game marketing, they basically brainwashed us since we were toddlers and they have a tight grip over mainstream reviews.

I don't know if TotK is good, but we won't be getting too much honest feedback until the hype dies down. Remember when people said BOTW was the greatest game of all time? That aged poorly.

Anyway, I am quite skeptical of people who put modern Zelda in their 'great' games list. They havent been a powerhouse since N64.
I don't think there'll be much. Most modern relational databases rely on underlying filesystem to manage the persistence aspect. Many cannot even work with bare block device (I don't think PostgreSQL can). So, they need OS to provide at least that.

However, in principle, if you could design a database to run as unikernel you could benefit from creating your own persistence layer. For instance, you might be able to completely or to a large extent avoid the problem created by fsync.

Another aspect you could aim for is becoming a real-time database, because you'd have control over memory allocation and thread context switching. This may not give any tangible benefits to an average database user, but in cases where being real-time is relevant (eg. medical equipment) you'd certainly be able to expand your area of application.
FYI, erlang && elixir workloads can run on Nanos: https://github.com/nanovms/ops-examples/tree/master/elixir .

It'd be great to see this idea revisited although you'll need to create some sort of new handling/framework.
Regardless of the "fundamental building block" when you need actual complex animations, you will end up building your own lib anyway.
