Ha! I made this exact same mistake. I think I lasted less than a week. It's the abstraction of the file system that did it for me. Something deeply unserious about it.
>If apps are still handling files that way instead of being able to open documents from anywhere in your local files, iCloud Drive, it’s on the developer.

Not a problem on a real operating system, everything just works. No need to pray the developer followed this years best practices instead of 3 years ago best practices just to use files in a sane manner. No need to beg a developer to fix it either, because the system was designed in a non-broken way to begin with.
The article you linked is specifically talking about particle emissions, not anything gaseous. If it included the negative externalities of all emissions (CO2, NOx's too), it might paint a different picture.
Dumb question: is this legal ?
That is too simple, people can earn their own capital as well.

Since utopia is impossible, its a choice between:

or

>Let politics determine how much material things you get

The latter seems especially scary if you are familiar with history
I have a MacBook Pro m1, with external monitor, keyboard and mouse. All of these can be reused with my iPad Air m1. For desktop use I need to purchase exactly the same equipment as for the iPad. The keyboard, Nuphy air 75, can easily switch between devices, same for the Logitech mouse. And with the display plugged into the iPad using usb c, there really isn’t that big if a difference between the MacBook and iPad when using it.

The MacBook 16” is really heavy, so I mostly use it at my desk. But it’s too heavy for the couch so that is where I use my iPad.
Not RHEL compatibility, because that's what Stream also has, the bug-for-bug similar behaviour is wanted when you have RHEL servers but test on Centos without having to bother with licenses or terms.
Of everything I've tried, the ipad is still by far my favourite media consumption device. Browsing the web using touch is an absolute joy and the thin, large screen form factor is really convenient. It's just a shame they're so expensive and fragile; I'm waiting a few years now before I can justify buying another one.

> Ok, so this is why browsers pushed so hard for DNS-over-HTTPS! It makes it inevitably the single-point-of-censorship.

DoH actually makes it harder for the government to censor domains as the browsers don't use the ISP-provided DNS infrastructure any more, which is why the French governments wants to force browser vendors to do it instead.
> Performance is snappy and battery life is excellent.

I find that the battery life when using the Magic Keyboard on my M1 11” Pro is much worse than without. It’s really not much better than the battery life of my 14” M1 Pro.

I didn’t buy an iPad primarily or even secondarily for coding, but thought it might be nice to do so on occasion (e.g. to learn new things). However the biggest problem is that iPadOS is just too limited.

If I could just run a Linux VM, that would be great. The hardware is capable, but the OS is hobbled.
If you want to compile it yourself it’s free, as it’s under GPLv3 so you’re free to remove the license stuff if you wanted to
The iPad is the only Apple device with a 13"(roughly A4) portable rotating screen and touch support.

A Macbook Air doesn't fit in that category and is sub-par to read A4 formated docs. Arguably a Surface Pro (or Z13 Flow) would be a better choice if programming is also something you want to do.
And it has a great name: Armed Bear Common Lisp.
It's never the individuals. It's always the team culture.

I've seen 5-person teams of raw bootcamp grads run rings around conventional dev teams with a broader experience base, repeatedly. Part of it is that there are no bullshit status games going on when everyone knows everyone else is just as in the dark as they are, but (in my view) an equally large factor is that the grad teams know they're going to have to learn whatever tools the problem needs. A more tenured team is far more likely to waste time on trying to build java in python, or fighting over not being able to use their favourite libraries.

But then there's also the wider situational context: an environment that has 100+ developers in a big company will have governance tarpits and coordination overheads they almost certainly haven't measured the cost of; 10x wouldn't surprise me at all just from those two factors.

Grad teams in the same org are more likely to have standalone, lower-risk projects to work on so they're going to be more insulated from those effects.
When I went in 2018, I loved the 'creepy otaku stores', maybe because I am a bit of an otaku, hah. To each their own.

Yes, that is my point.
Does anyone have any good examples of Zig being used as a build system for a large project?

Coming from a Windows world when my gigantic C++ project is hidden inside a vcxproj I dont delve into that often, I tried to compile a standard autoconf based project into wasm the other week and eventually gave up.

Use autoconf to create your cmake to create your make which builds your lib? and wrap all those calls with emscripten calls...or something along those lines. It was exhausting. Eventually it errored out becuase it couldn't decide if the size of a size_t was available. I was tempted to just remove that line from the cmake.
It is not implemented on firmware, but as a silicon trojan. It doesn't use sound, but EMF.

It won't be exposed in full easily though as criminals with access to it currently work to prevent anyone from doing so.

Yandere Simulator's case was unique. You're right that people were angry at the guy in general, and he was also quite the internet clown. But it was the first time I've seen so many people who don't program suddently have an oppinion on what good code is or isn't. When asked, they couldn't even explain why. I assure you, half of those videos are filled to the brim with milquetoast examples that I really don't feel constitute as bad code. This thankfully doesn't happen every day.

I really don't enjoy the discourse regarding "code cleanliness". A lot of the time it's just about "I prefer writing things this way" rather than the code actually being slower/harder to read/maintain/whatever. There's a billion ways to write something and none of them are outright wrong!
That the worst you can think about France? Well thanks, that’s a cute one.
Presumably because it moves the DNS resolution from the OS to the browser?

Though if you didn't it would just make the OS the single point of censorship so I'm not sure what difference it makes.
iPads are amazing for certain professional tasks:

- Artists (still or motion)
- Writing (or related tasks like Editing)
- Mobile roles (sales, aspects of healthcare such as patient record accessibility, etc)

But, even in these cases with there is good alignment, you still lose productivity over a more traditional setup, usually due to restrictions around file management, keyboard shortcuts (usually due to “less than” applications not that the machine is incapable), security (what happens to data on the device if it’s lost or stolen), and window management (if you end up needing multiple monitors for your iPad is that really the best tool?)

I wish and want the iPad to be a true professional machine, but it’s not. It’s an amazing supplementary machine though as a reference screen, drawing pad, media consumption (e.g., tutorials), etc.

I guess I don’t understand how you end up believing it’ll be the best fit if you’ve used one in the past 3-5 years.

That's a great list! I've come across many of those, but not all of them (luckily).

The problem with this form in particular was that I got my password manager to type the password for me. So it wasn't immediately obvious where the error was. If you actually typed the password you would see it go red at some point, but for me it just turned red with a seemingly okay password.
murena sells phones with /e/OS preinstalled.

for my mother i installed /e/OS myself, but if she had to get a new phone while i am not around i'd point here to that website and tell her to get one of those.

/e/OS is free of bloat, yet easy to use.
While you're not wrong, it isn't useful to frame this as a technical discussion. We don't want censorship, period, no ifs ands or buts.

They do. The grants themselves have requirements for acknowledging the funder in publications; most researchers also mention the funding sources for their work and projects on their website and in their CVs.

People who get those grants are proud of the fact and like the money.
Lisps have traditionally been optimized for very smart people solving cutting-edge problems (both in academia and industry) that benefited PL innovation in an interactive, fully malleable and explorable environment. People like Chaitin, Baker, Gosper, LeCun, Minsky, Norvig, Sussman etc. This community has essentially vanished and a large part of the vacuum has been filled up by people who seem to derive their feelings of self-worth by association to past greatness rather than personal accomplishments. But some of the spirit lives on in Julia (which has a much better claim to being the foremost modern lisp), and some cool stuff and people have been "grandfathered in" and continue to do use lisp for fairly sophisticated stuff (a backend example would be google flights/ITA and a end-user app example would be opus modus).

Racket is, in my probably slightly biased opinion, a vehicle for doing firmly within-the-box CS research and teaching. It comes with a lot of batteries included and there are some cool an innovative things about it (it has sophisticated support for syntactic abstractions with acceptable error reporting, contracts, non-textual data etc).

It's run by people with very respectable academic output, but to the best of my knowledge none of them are particularly appreciative of interactive and malleable computing (even python is much better here), or ever wrote any code that's reallly pushing the state-of-the-art. I'd also say that the racket IDE (despite also having some nice features) is ugly, clunky, sluggish and not something that I can see appealing to very good programmers.

I'm also not aware of any impressive industry project done in Racket (although, in fairness I should add that Carmack has said nice things about racket).

Your blog which you posted online for anyone to download and read?

Don't get me wrong, this is a grey area where copyright laws and general consensus haven't caught up with new techonology. But if you voluntarily stick something up online with the intent that anyone can read it, it seems a bit mean to then say "wait no you can't do that" if someone finds a way to materially profit off it.
You should check out Qarnot Computing (qarnot.com).
Agreed, but if they are going to implement censorship I'm all for doing it in an incompetent way.

Meanwhile, this proposal will likely not fly because it's going to be impossible to implement, either imperfectly or even at all.

A bigger problem is if they catch on to the fact that France is dependent on a handful of large ISPs and that they can do this far more effectively at the ISP level.
What could be done to improve it (while keeping in mind that Red Hat needs $$$ to continue development)?

A little off topic. I was looking for a cheap cpu render farm for the project and ended up buying some chinese amd mini pcs. After a few months, I sold them at a retail price in just 3 days, there was a huge demand for them. I was very surprised by the power and almost silent operation compared to the insanely expensive and noisy servers that were used recently.
> Markdown is a really poor storage format. There is quasi-official standard (CommonMark), but since it's feature-poor, people mostly use something else, like GitHub Markdown. Individual apps often extend Markdown in various incompatible ways.

I hope GitHub and Obsidian are going to synchronise their MarkDown extensions in near future and this will become The Standard. Whatever a case, anybody can easily write a script to automatically convert any Markdown flavour to another.

> why should books be in Markdown? Markdown's biggest (or the only?) advantage compared to binary/XML based formats is sort-of readability in plain text, but that's just not that important for the majority of publishers and readers.

Read anywhere. I mean anywhere. Without a need for software as complex and resource-hungry as a web browser engine ePub would require. I used to read TXT books on a pocket MP3 player during the pre-Android era. Also very easy automated processing.

In fact my actual preferred format for books is FB2. I mostly convert ePub books to FB2 to read on a PocketBook eInk device because it would use book-specified fonts and pages (which I never want) if I don't and FB2 is sort-of Markdown-like (in terms of its logic and features) XML. FB2 also has a great metadata section to store information about the book.

And besides books there also are documets. Word/LibreOffice documents others would send me often are real pain to modify as WYSIWYG word processors bundle tons of redundant invisible formatting details for every bit of text even when not asked for.

> But IMO there are plenty of other places to add real value across the GitLab product with AI/ML features.

True, and after starting with ML experiments, the product and engineering teams have been working on new features for entire DevOps lifecycle. All AI workflows on the DevSecOps platforms are described in the GitLab Duo announcement blog post https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2023/06/22/meet-gitlab-duo-the... and website https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-duo/

I'll share a few highlights that I am personally excited about

- Explain and help fix security vulnerabilities. From my personal experience, I often find CVEs hard to read, especially when I am not the author of the code to fix. Getting help from AI can reduce entry barriers and make development for efficient. Security is everyone's responsibility these days. This follows the AI assisted feature to explain code in general. "What does this magic loop with memcpy do?" might not stay magic anymore, easing the path to code refactoring, improving performance, and reduce the resource usage footprint.

- Summarize issue comments. Feature proposals or bug analysis can have long comment threads that require reading time. AI will help get the gist and better contribute to what has been discussed.

- Summarize MR changes, to avoid reading long change diffs. This helps with faster (code) review cycles. I tested it this week with an MR for our handbook in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/merge_request...

I'd also like to see AI helping fix CI/CD pipelines fast. Proposal in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/386863 I shared some thoughts in a new talk "Observability for Efficient DevSecOps Pipelines", slides in https://go.gitlab.com/VDAvMw (GitLab blog post coming soon, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/issues/34296)

Additionally, I learned some new ideas at Cloudland last week, regarding product owner requirements list verification, and end-to-end test automation with AI. Need to create feature proposals :-)

> As a longtime GitLab user (and onetime contributor!),

Thanks for contributing. I'd like to invite you to share your ideas about AI features across the platform :)

When you look at the DevOps lifecycle (image in https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-duo/) from plan/manage to create, verify, secure, package, release, deploy, monitor, govern - where do you see yourself, and where do you spend the most time in?

Second question: Which process feels the most inefficient? After identifying answers to the questions, please check the AI features https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/ai_features.html and/or open new feature proposals for GitLab https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/new?issuable_t... You can tag @dnsmichi so I can engage with your ideas. Thanks!

We are animals who can't control most of the brain, only the frontal lobe(and determinists would debate that is just genetics + environment).
Does Twitter allow simultaneous logins? Maybe someone could set up a single account and post the credentials then everyone could just use that one account.
If it's just a about adding the means then uBlock origin fits the bill.

I can't make heads or tails of the translated piece of law though so I can only assume that giving people to ability to exercise control over what they see or don't see online wasn't the intended purpose.
Actually depends. I prefer rod to drive headless chrome and you can use rod-stealth for that. You have to mimic traffic to replicate humans. And if you don't spam a website it won't trigger any defence mechanisms.

You have that backwards. Plain DNS is a single point of censorship because your ISP/government can see the cleartext and read/modify it.

DoH allows you to use an alternative source of DNS that your govt can’t read or modify.
Interesting, but too expensive
I was in a Kindle Book Club some years ago. The idea was to pay a little fee, from which books are centrally bought. Which books to buy was decided by voting. The books then would be shared with the members. There were never more concurrent users than copies purchased.

Buuut, apparently that violates some TOS and Amazon was terminating the accounts. So it's back to the shadow libs.
considering they're the same people who tortured my family i don't really put any weight in who they consider a 'criminal'
Isn't this something that technically already exists? It seems to me the government is demanding thst browsers have that capability; not that the companies would have to use that feature. But (1) it may actually not be technically possible right now? Or (2) the wording is confusing enough that it is essentially forcing the use, not just "having the ability"
I'd be inclined to agree, but this is rejecting ASCII characters. I can see not supporting emoji in your passwords, but angle brackets have their own key on my keyboard, they should be supported.

As for the blog post it was just a way for me to get some frustration off my chest. It's also posted in the "Scraps" section of my site, which I just use for short one-off things like this. If I then decide to write an article about it later (like a longer thing about password managers and dealing with passwords online) then I could link to these scraps.
I don’t imagine a lot of child porn browsing happens on Lynx.

In practice a government only needs to mandate their blocklist with Google, Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla. The first three are cloud and OS vendors, so they already collaborate with Western governments on many kinds of content filtering and monitoring projects. Only Mozilla has any sort of independence in the browser market.
Well, you still had to ship floppies, which kinda limits your pace. And with heavily fragmented platforms, standards – informal or formal – helped as one vendor didn't cover everything. And thus compatibility to someone's else Pascal/Cobol/C compiler actually helped sales.

> NATO marched eastward, which eventually provoked the Russians to launch a preventive war.

How can this be a convincing argument in the 21st century?
Having the code makes it easier to write a new minimal compiler, translator or interprer, just to run the specific game. Or understand how the game works to make a good rewrite/port. Not every game has a dedicated enough fanbase to do this, but having the option is always great. Rewriting the engine doesn't mean you have to rewrite all the dialogue and in-engine scripts, after all.

Of course, if you want to write and use something like SCUMM for your games, that's appreciated, too...
> or "flea market" is a codeword

It kind of is. Not in that way though. Flea-markets aren't really a thing in England at least by name. So this was probably a jumble sale or a car boot sale.

A jumble sale is a small indoor ad hoc second hand market probably not on any very regular schedule. They're usually run by small groups (church congregations, scouts, womens' institute) for fundraising and social purposes with the items donated and all the proceeds going to the group.

A car boot sale is held in a parking lot or field, where the sellers pay for the pitch and the buyers sometimes pay to enter. As the name suggests, many of the pitches will just be sellers with a car full of junk. They may be run commercially or by groups with access to suitable grounds (e.g. a rugby club). They're more work and staff to organise so they're often on a regular schedule (e.g. first Saturday of the month).

I love flea-markets of all types :)
