The basic boot process is easier, but it has the same "this board doesn't boot sorry try these steps" problem. Try disabling the splash screen and watch all the ACPI bugs and workarounds jump onto the screen during early boot.

It wasn't that long ago that you needed to download five different distros to brute force a working combination if you had a laptop with an Nvidia chip.

Even today you need to pass special boot options on some AMD boards because motherboard vendors can't be bothered to release microcode updates.

Linux 5.8+ refused to boot with 12th gen Intel graphics if you had a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter installed. I believe it took at least half a year before a fix was released (in a later version of the kernel, that wasn't backported). I remember this vividly because I showed off some dumb Gnome extension and he wanted it too, so he upgraded from a lower LTS to the then-current LTS and after a reboot he could no longer boot.

My laptop didn't have sound unless I passed some kind of special parameter in the boot config somewhere. It sometimes freezes on boot while loading GDM. The display flickers and jumps around if you have a maximized application. The Nvidia driver+WM combo doesn't recognize external displays on Wayland.

I've even run into one instance where the amd64 version of the distro shipped tons of applications requiring a certain instruction set, so installing the outdated (and now abandoned) x86 versions of the distro was the only solution.

Linux Mostly Works on Most Systems. The only reason you can get anything done on it is that there are more people using it and fixing the mess that hardware vendors have left behind.

I would say that most people will be able to run Linux smoothly on their hardware if they pick a user friendly distro, but random failure modes are everywhere.
In my experience with big tech, there's almost never technical issues with this kind of preferences. It's a business decision.
This doesn't really apply to support. With support, there is generally 1 engineer assigned to one customer for the life of the case. If a patch is needed, a software maintenance engineer may be added. You can't throw extra people at a support case and expect it to complete faster. You can, however, throw more people at a support TEAM and handle more cases.
It's a pdf. It opens for me when clicking. Are you on a browser that can't easily open PDF?
I'm increasing the workers, didn't expect this growth
> there is a large contingent ... for whom no amount of rigor or proof would be sufficient. ... Because it isn't really about the facts for most folks

Conspiracists demand the lies.

Look how Fox News lost control of the Big Lie narrative. They (sort of) tried to tell the truth. Their audience rejected them.
I'm saying it can be enforced the same way it is in most industries that rely on dangerous equipment: via insurance policies, civil lawsuit, and criminal prosecution for negligence.

We don't breathalyze pilots when they board the plane, despite them being responsible for hundreds of people at a time, and millions of flights complete every year just fine.
Looking at these numbers, being from Austria, yes, I'd say they seem pretty accurate.

It's even worse over here ^^.
Ya I am very curious how it protects against misuse and defines these things.

Have you found any good links?

Everything I found online seems to indicate it needs to be better thought out and was pretty negative. Even EuroNews which I didn't think was anything but neutral on most things?

IE, if a comedian makes a religious joke, why do they not face prosecution under this?
HN has a lot of optimizations and limitations on the user experience.

For example, I don't see the scores of every other post on HN - and certainly don't see them updated in realtime. New comments and posts show up when I reload the page - not as I scroll. There's only one HN instance - without having 100 more instances trying to mirror the content (just one - firebase).

... and HN is an example of a single, centralized, unfederated server.
Why sneak, the article already shows that anyone with an agenda can now easily produce their own books, without much effort.
The workers could die at some point too, they will be replaced by new workers and no one would notice the difference. When do you notice the difference...when the owners or the top management are changed and the company strategy changes...not when a new iStore employee gets hired.
You don't think there's any political reason they are going after Amazon rather than, say, the New York Times? Just the impartial watchmen of Democracy studiously promoting the adherence to regulation here?
Yep.

I also want to trust the Swiss courts, much more than I'd trust the American courts, to no accept any Apple claim against the Swiss company.
> The whole Amazon.com experience has been getting worse and worse as the years go by.

Maybe, but they are still miles better than most other online shops, so they still get to grow. Just for the return policy, they are kind of worth it.

Right. I don't argue that its easy to stroll into the average church and attend a service or even an event without any question. You may even be welcomed fairly well depending on the church.

But if ones goal is to actually build relationships, built on anything other than lies or deception, and one doesnt actually believe the religion, its going to be difficult to do that at a religious institution.
I hope they do AWS billing next; good lord what a pain that is to turn off.
Yep, the "10 year support" for 8.8 means that you'll upgrade to 8.10 (to-be-released) and then that will be supported for the rest of the duration.
Data caps are the biggest rip off and just a way for ISPs to extract extra revenue from customers that don't have a choices. I live in a newer community that has 2 providers that offer 1Gbps service. Neither has a data cap.

My parents live 5 minutes away in a slightly older community that only has 1 high speed provider, and another provider that maxes out at 15Mbps. They have a data cap of 1TB/month, despite the ISP offering 1Gbps service. They then offer Unlimited Data for an extra $50/month.

Consuming 1TB/month is pretty easy to do if you do any gaming/streaming. Most games these days easily consume 50-100GB to download and install.
On a side side note... are there good reasons to use Sketch over Figma these days? All the designers I know have moved over. Should they not have?
I feel like we should try asking it directly. Maybe it would tell us.
We've been using this in production for several months, and I'm a huge fan. Unopinionated but incredibly helpful. Big ups to the authors!
It sounds like they are fairly confident they've located traces of the meteor which could lead to discovery of a larger core fragment. Very exciting.
Congrats on the overwhelming success
We play Path Of Exile, an ARPG game with lots of trading and economy in our friend group. We have a Jupyter Notebook running on Google Colab, that extracts data from the game servers, and pushes the data into a Google Spreadsheet as a persistence layer.

We have Sheets for data ingestion, and other sheets that do the business logic.

This turned out to be a surprisingly well working pipeline and comes at zero hosting costs. We could just run Jupyter Lab somewhere, but this would cost too much and not nearly as quick to handle for our case.
Kindle Print replicas can be okay but they are basically just PDFs. It's still faster to flick through a book than a PDF. If a non-print replica Kindle textbook has equations it's generally done with images and looks really bad, makes the book really big in size and slow to navigate, the equations can't reflow and so are usually noticeably different in size at every font level.
But oracle or rocky can just subscribe to RHEL and continue having access to the source code, right?
Again, like large corporations, this doesn’t mean much. NASA is big and diverse, and each facility is unique and mostly independent, with lots of unrelated projects within a facility.
But wouldn't the precedent be "Apple won, unions lost"? No one would look at this and go "damn the union really handed Apple a can of whoop ass!"
Alito's salary is $255,300/year.

> If the justice chartered the plane himself, the cost could have exceeded $100,000 one way.

I think giving one of the most powerful public servants in the country a gift that's nearly his entire annual salary (I presume he needs a return trip) raises legitimate concerns.

As for being friends:

> The Alaska vacation was the first time Singer and Alito met, according to a person familiar with the trip.
If you prefer to run something like this locally while maintaining 100% ownership and control of your files here is my android app I wrote 6 months ago: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luksapps.i...

It uses the best open model on the market to run up scaling (multiple versions of Real-ESRGAN) and runs them in 10s~up to few min per photo on relatively modern mobile phones. This is a free ad supported versions. There is also a paid version with no ads. Both versions can be used while 100% offline.
System Initiative: Second Wave DevOps
There's a small number of people I know who say in social contexts "I love math" but they come up blank when asked what fields they find beautiful. I find this correlated with narcissism and it makes me believe these people don't actually find math beautiful, but just like the idea of others thinking they do and want to assert that they're the smart person in the group.
Since the link won't open for some, here's the relevant bit (the first two lines of the abstract of the paper linked to):

"MVC was conceived in 1978 as the design solution to a particular problem. The top level goal was to support the user's mental model of the relevant information space and to enable the user to inspect and edit this information."
Ex-EEE here. Sad to see that they've moved out of the beautiful Sackville Street Building for the rather architecturally uninspiring new Engineering building.

Is this before or after taxes? When researching taxes in Germany, apparently there is a 9% tax if you belong to a church. What is that about? Did some politician read about tithing in the Bible and decide that money should go to them instead?
Almonds really aren't expensive on a per calorie basis. They are far cheaper than tomatoes. For example at Walmart as of today I can buy 2,240 calories of blue diamond almonds for $6.98. The cheapest Roma tomato is $0.44 per item, which is roughly 35 calories. I'd need to buy 64 tomatoes in that case, which would be a whopping $28.16. Something in your math does not add up.

From what I can gather a single tomato uses on average 3.3 gallons of water and a single almond is 1.1 gallons. That is 35 calories vs 7 calories. It comes out to 10 calories per gallon vs 6 calories per gallon which is not nearly as bad as your example. I'm not saying these numbers are 100% accurate, but I'm very skeptical it is 4 times as much water.
I think the AI gold rush has just begun, and we are yet to see much more.

You really can't see the parallel between uttering ill of the elect, and uttering ill of the new elect?
Please do.

If there are any questions you can email them. They understand that many books do not contain barcodes or isbns. I have an elderly friend who was a slavic anthropologist. We've been in contact with them for months and have sent off something like 20 boxes of mid-century cultural academic literature focusing on hungary and other regions (I'm no expert there ... sorry if I got some term wrong).

As far as what to donate that you probably have? Magazines. 2600, Usenix journal, make, wired, datamation, byte, creative computing, etc. You'd be surprised how many holes they have. You'll see like 18 complete months then a 10 month hole, then like 7 more complete months, etc ... it's far from done.

It's valuable. For instance, the high flying pollyana nonsense of 90s wired magazines is probably embarrassing to read now but it's also a very important cultural context for historians and academics - imagine a 25 year old phd student of say, science&technology studies, trying to get a grasp on ~1998 silicon valley culture. I was there, they weren't - these old rags are important to preserve.
Amazon duped millions of consumers into enrolling in Prime, US FTC says
To me, "just a wrapper" makes it sound like it's something completely trivial but I'm an experienced web dev and I wouldn't even know where to start. How do I run this stuff on the server and how do I expose it in a web UI like this?
The difference is with RH you can often get escalated up to the engineer writing the thing. I know I did when working for companies paying for that support. There's usually a few layers of rather useless L1 and L2 though.

propublica rarely gets things egregiously wrong or even mildly wrong.

It is quite concerning that the SCOTUS judges can have such networking. So far it is been mostly the right wing judges (what a shame that we have to say this about our court). It could be the rest of the right wing judges. Some of the left wing judges possibly too, which I wouldn't be surprise given the hubris of RBG --- although might be unfair to give guilt by association.

Regardless, my point is that letting the SCOTUS judges self-enforce ethical requirements is clearly not working and can never work. I don't blame the judges. I blame systems that don't give incentives and safeguards.
So, if you're not being sarcastic, I would like to respond.

When you are a public figure, everything you say and do has weight. Who you associate with, who you are friends with, who you talk to and hang around with, who your kids are friends with. All of this matters and should/is the subject of public scrutiny.

Like it or don't, when you go into public service, you sign up for that.

So, this is either massive bribery covered up as friendship, or, at best, supremely tone-deaf on the part of a supreme court justice. Either way, it's not great.
Intentional Code – Minimalism in a World of Dogmatic Design – David Whitney [video]
He is referring to the situation before / at the time unionization started. Modern unions are a peaceful reminder of the struggle for union rights. The US is pretty lonely among western nations in its treatment of workers right to organize and collectively bargain.

Not that I’m fully endorsing unions. In my particular part of the world (Netherlands) unions lack broad support but are the only laborers party bargaining collective labour agreements. The good thing is that those agreements are inclusive. The fun is where the unions members interest differ from genpop. You get things like union contributions paid for by employers, or worse like agreements that favor the old whom are more likely to be a member.
The above code requires no 3P dependencies. With a few notation tweaks, you can paste/pipe those examples right into a (~40 MB) `node` binary and get answers.

Where security is concerned, I can't say that Node.js has been more problematic than any other language I've used, but that's anecdotal and YMMV.
Do hotels really end up being cheaper than a rental?

That seems interesting to me because even the cheapest motels in my area that are the last resort before homelessness run about $40/night and the cheapest studios in the same area are usually a bit lower than that on a monthly basis.

Edit: Different market so prices may be different. Just find this surprising.
Africa’s Richest City Is Crumbling Under Chaos and Corruption
What was actually on the syllabus for your database course? If it spent a lot of time teaching MS Access technical skills then that would be a waste. But there's nothing wrong with using Access as a convenient tool to teach fundamental concepts of relational databases.
Can someone expound on the strategy around the unsolicited offer part of the story. He was unable to engage with the offer legally. He told FB about it to, presumably, let them know about the new BATNA if they tried to get concessions during due diligence. But doesn't that also send the signal he is looking for them to match the offer after he had signed for a price (that he had offered as the won't shop it around price). That seems to have led to them accusing him of leaking the story to solicit the offer during a the period he was supposed to not shop it, which led to the deal blowing up.

I'm also a little unsure about the ethical and legal limitations he was under.

I'm still skeptical tbh. The scientific method in psychology seems like it could only ever work in a very probabilistic manner since, unlike physical phenomena, humans predict very different to the same stimulus depending on their own unique circumstances.

For example: People react very different to being offered a bacon pizza depending on (at least) the time (not for breakfast thanks), location (funerals are right out), their pizza topping preferences, their faith, whether they've already just eaten, how much they trust the person offering the pizza, if they're currently in a group or not (is there enough for everyone?), whether they've ever had any traumatic experiences with pizza or not, if any other foods may be available, whether they have dinner with other people planned, their current dietary restrictions, whether they're ill right now or not, whether they know you are doing pizza-based experiments on them, etc etc etc etc.

All of these might radically alter the response you get. It might be possible to get enough information about someone to make a reasonable guess, but you can never know if your model is complete enough. Even if the same inputs occur twice, the output might still be different based on something you cannot reasonably know. So I think it would be very difficult to construct a predicable stimulus/response model for individuals. Groups might be easier because the differences sometimes average out, but quite often the internal communication leads to feedback loops that disturb any predictions you were trying to make about their behavior.

Btw there is a third option beyond "scientific knowledge" and "faith", which is simply "we do not know and may never know" without ever getting to fill in that gap. Things like "what, if anything, created the universe" fall in that category as we cannot observe such a thing. Given some information about the position of a particle, we can never be sure of its speed per the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Accurate models of people could be similar: it might simply be that they cannot be meaningfully reduced to simple formulas.
It's almost certainly a typo for Mbps. 100Mbps and 200Mbps are common broadband offerings in the US. Rates in excess of 1Gbps are not -- certainly not 100Gbps. No consumer is going to have the expensive hardware required to terminate 100Gbps, much less utilize it, and there's no way in hell it would only cost $50/mo. 100Gbps+ is not even prevalent inside data centers; it's just super expensive and many applications don't need that kind of throughput.
He didn't say "no way would anyone scam sick people", he said they're the bottom tier of people and disgusting. He was describing his opinion of them, not exclaiming surprise.

There are still some other metrics and heuristics you can use, such as number (and coverage) of tests, overall code metrics, number of compiler warnings, that tell you a little bit about the care put in maintaining the codebase. You can still have quality codebases without those (do I know...) but then you'd have to look at critical business metrics (uptime, latency, satisfaction surveys) or the number of tickets (even there, beware) or the overall 'cost and duration to deliver a fix or a new feature'.

As for architecture, it's harder to find generic metrics and guidelines for 'quality'... I won't dive in there but external evaluation by people with no or little idea of the actual domain is not very interesting. Moreover people tend to be biased by either 'we at x have done it like this, and we're successful, so...' and 'we at x have built shit' and it's very hard to get in a sort of clean-slate mindset.
Red Hat Now Limiting RHEL Sources to CentOS Stream
Not entirely surprising. OpenAI has been lurking around the startup realm despite having the finance and people: for years they had no product to bring money in and they had to do something about it. ChatGPT was the perfect place to turn things around and they did. But often when you try to push a product to market, you are forced to cut corners. And in my experience, the most common corners to cut are tests and security. "This is well more than enough" is a very convenient way to lie to yourself and call it a job-well-done.
