1. Of course there is no such thing as flawless data analysis, but they have data and people hired to analyse it and we… don’t.
2. RH makes their money of off companies that pay for support. Do you think that if a company can’t use CentOS they’re going to pirate RHEL? Really?
3. Conclusions from leadership are never perfect, but that does not mean the default conclusion should be that they are awful. RH seems to be doing pretty well at the moment.

Opportunity cost is a central concept in economics. When deciding between decisions A and B, companies will consider the revenue they would gain from either decision. If companies accept the revenue from decision A, they are doing it at the cost of the revenue they would have made from decision B. This is what I mean by “lost revenue”. By choosing to shut down git.centos.org, RH loses the revenue they would have gotten from keeping the repository open and gains the revenue they believe they will get from shutting it down. My apologies if this sounds condescending, but you keep insisting that there’s no such thing as “lost revenue” and I genuinely don’t know how to respond to that without just explaining opportunity cost.
My brother in law is an artist. He paints beautiful pictures and writes a comic book. His lifestyle choice appears to be fulfilling for him. He also doesn't own a car or a house. Choices have consequences. Different than OP, he doesn't complain about it.
That's a very salient point. And reading well all the time is super hard. I think that's one of the reasons why people don't write documentation. First of all, who's gonna read all that? Second of all, who's gonna read all of that correctly?

Ads and targeted ads based on all the data we have on your life are two very different things, claiming that targeted ads are the only option is just bad faith.
Your Pocket Interpreter! Felo Translator Revolutionizes Global Conversations
Yeah, that makes sense. In an office one's more likely to be doing say word-processing in a highly-lit environment where detail and contrast aren't that important. I normally do photo editing in subdued low-light conditions where gloss is not an issue.

Edit: Incidentally, I'm typing this on my Lenovo ThinkPad which has matte screen but I'm using an external monitor with a glossy screen which I prefer (to be fair, it's also slightly larger). No, it wasn't a mistake at purchase time, it was given to me. :-)
That comparison doesn't work in exactly the way that illustrates Red Hat's compliance with the GPL.

Yes, if the consequence of excercising freedom is death(or imprisonment) then you aren't actually free, because killing (or imprisonment) stops you from excercising freedom. Red Hat terminating your license does not stop you from excercising the freedom the GPL gives you.
In fairness, the same can be said about Google.

I don't need to list all the failed products (included the 285 different kind of messengers), do I?
This is such a bad take.

Their "hobby" saves huge corporations large amounts of money. I don't understand how it's not obvious that they should chip in comparatively small amounts of money to make sure that the project stays updated and secure.

Why bother funding open source at all, it's not like it's the foundation of the entire worlds infrastructure or anything.
I bought this 6K monitor, but I did not like

1) The scaling on macOS. Everything was way too big. There were not enough options for fractional scaling.

2) The matte finish. I came from another matte Dell monitor, but the whole screen looked slightly fuzzy, like a permanent oil stain all over the monitor.

3) The contrast sucks. They call it 'IPS Black' but I was not impressed. The colors look different depending on the angle. This is probably an issue with the size of the monitor as well, as when you look at the left size, the angle to the right size is pretty big.

Lastly I did not like the size either, but I will have that with every 31.5 inch monitor.
No, because M&A isn't banned. I don't know how many car companies we have, but I do notice that there are a bunch of new ones recently. Just off the top of my head: Tesla, Lucid, Rivian, Cruise.
I actually don't like politics being so prevalent in the space but it's quite unavoidable to give free speech any chance in the current environment. I really hope it evens out.

It's just the sad state of the world that the most aggressive, but voice-defining leftists would like to live in a situation where politics is talked about less but take a speech-impeding dictatorial rule as the precondition to allow for something like that to happen. Meaning, as long as every person in the thread or platform has somehow been "vetted" to not be conservative or even moderate, they'll act "normal". (and that ignores purity spiraling in such echo chambers making even that a stretch)

Maybe in one of the futures of this planet people can go back to not being as polarized and twitchy about talking with people with even the opposite viewpoints. Increased amount of mutual respect in a conversation plus all sides having more mental robustness reduces escalation, reducing the speech and experience of having the kind of speech you probably are talking about to a very manageable level and is absolutely best for everyone.

I've learnt to personally take a lot of pains to maintain communication lines with even some quite extreme leftists and actually managed to retain a level of mutual respect with people some of my peers don't even dare to talk to. The end result makes otherwise impossible things greater than individuals could achieve, possible. But it's not very fair feeling like the human in the "pigeon vs human" chess match at times.

Regardless of everything, as long as we're not in some kind of shittyfuture war scenario, I will not stop believing in the concept of a "public market square" of free speech. I don't believe there is any other value that can keep an intellectually diverse human society together.
>I'd loved to bring up old HN threads announcing the death of Facebook using similar broad strokes. Apparently Meta is the competent one now because they pigeonholed a cloned feature on their platform + the alternative is no longer cool among the tech crowd on a niche programmer/startup forum.

The intelligentsia hates Musk far more than Zuckerberg right now, and will cheer on anything that could potentially hurt him. There's also some wishful thinking that Threads will institute the sort of mass censorship of right-wing speech that was present on Twitter, but it seems unlikely that there will be very different standards than what you see on Facebook, which is often derided as a right-wing boomer-infested hellscape.
Groups +1

As well as local area groups there are quite a few niche hobby groups on Facebook. I'm converting a van into a campervan and on Facebook there are groups specific to converting my van that have the same number of users as the whole vanlife subreddit.

The only thing I don't like is it is tied to my real name and friend circle... I see in my feed friends posts in groups I am not a member of, so I guess it does the same for me. In my recommendations was a BDSM group... Yeah not on Facebook :D
Your real job is made easier by low paid people like him, if not you'd be forced to spend time to (badly) re-implementing the JPEG standard.

Just because "it helps the CV" doesn't mean that's an end goal in itself in the long run, and once a library is popular the implications (security issues!) of non-maintenance is far higher even if it started out as a "fun" project.

This xkcd illustrates it perfectly, https://xkcd.com/2347/
> Their main supposed advantage, that they mitigate glare, is just false.

It is very true, contrary to what you claim. The glare on my old trusty Dell U2413 matte display is next to non-existent compared to Apple M1 Air that is hooked to it.
I have a wierd urge to add Gitlab CI to this so that any tagged commit creates a release containing all assets (PDF, ePub, HTML), and a manual job on any commit does the same without a release (stored in Gitlab Generic Package Registry or job artifacts), and the HTML version is built and deployed to the repository's Gitlab Pages on all master pipelines.

I know it's of little use since you usually install all dependencies on a dev machine and simply run fast scripts locally, but Gitlab CI is really a nice tool to use, and you've got some free build minutes you can use on the Saas instance.
Then you can make edits on any machine using the Web IDE, and easily share the result hosed on Gitlab pages.
Instagram Reels is Instagram's TikTok competitor. Instagram called their stories product "Stories." Also, in a lot of ways, Instagram stories were better than Snapchat stories. For one, you have a wider network on Instagram compared to Snapchat, so there is more content to consume. Instagram also added a bunch of nice features, like various stickers you can interact with. The stickers were also tappable like buttons, which took Snapchat a very long time to add.

So your complaint is effectively .. that you have to hear about this?
We also have a much newer version however the workload of 'everything' has been a bit overwhelming since we aren't actually making a synth(thats just an example application) but an IDE, designtool and a framework.

> People shouldn't have to tell the government they're going to read a (dirty) book

Libraries and book stores can and do ask IDs for adult books (less so these days). Same thing.

They should identify themselves to the gov, porn sites should only get prood of a succesful identification without identifying users. The gov can id you but it shouldn't know what sigtes you visit. That way your privacy is protected.

> Government mandates are never going to get some sites to comply

They can force US sites and fine/prosecute. The rest, they can order ISPs to block them for non-compliance.

> If we removed the legal mandate, we could do this with voluntary industry support

The industry has had decades of pleading from child safety advocates. It's like saying tobacco companies should be trusted with tobacco warnings and working with store owners on making sure minors are ID'd before a sale. Many in the porn industry strongly feel any teenager should be able to watch porn and many more believe people can get porn anyways so there is no point. They have faced lawsuits and investigations and many countries have been banning them for a long time over this concern so your reasoning that suddenly they will voluntarily work with browsers makes little sense to me. Perhaps the gov can have some working group under FTC to come up with a tech thar enforces the law and porn sites can work with it and i see no problem including browser makers but at the end of the day just like any id verification system, someone has to be responsible for the verification.

Where my idea deviates is that I believe the gov should be responsible for enforcing it's own laws and public key crypto can effectively split the responsibility of verifying age and making sure only verified users have access.
Oh my goodness.

... wait, how hard would it be to do something similar for Factorio?
Obviously because you already run sqlite and need to access it remotely for some reason. You might want to standardize how applications like Datasette works and use a known working library for the postgres wire protocol.
Of all the alternatives though for the love of god why Facebook
Just to make me understand this:

This is about storing data in the form of "Facebook user XYZ looked at a page about travel to Antarctica" and the reason Facebook wants to store such data is to show them travel offers when they read their Facebook feed?

If so, can I download this data about me? Is there a way to download everything Facebook stores about me and then I will see all the websites and pages I visited that Facebook knows about?
I can't find the reference right now, but IIRC the Glasgow Haskell Compiler had a function called "unsafeDirectIo" which people were using too flippantly. So they renamed it to "evilUnholyDirectIo"
It's now back down to 16, aww!
Hmm for me I did have very distinct zoom levels here; I was only able to scroll in one tick or out one tick with my mouse wheel, it wasn't freeform. That's why I expected these quanta with a constant 80px-long ruler. Maybe on mobile it was a different experience.
What are the supported isolation levels? :)
It’s hilarious to think of LinkedIn as useful conversational data for an LLM… LinkedIn content… The majority of direct messaging is recruiting spam and almost the entirety of the public posts and replies are so vapid, inane, fake and performative as to be borderline damaging to the mental health of anyone that doesn’t realise it’s all performative bullshit, a business positivism LARP or MUD wrapped in a kayfabe of having anything to do with real business people doing business things… the quality of a model trained on that dataset would be… horrific.
> one wonders what possible harm could come from leaving image decompression buffer faults from maliciously crafted jpegs in popular browsers and software unattended

This is yet another reason a switch to a memory-safe language like unsafe-free Rust is highly imperative.
Sorry, they say they don't exist as human beings? that would be the dehumanising equivalent.

Nations, culture, history etc are ideas and perceptions that it's clear we don't all agree on.
Spaced repetition happens everyday outside of a "sit at a desk and learn" setup and is plenty efficient without effort and pain. The obvious one is seeing again and again a concept so much you end up remembering it, like the Dunning Kreuger effect (or to take it darker, being able to recipe an ad you've seen hundreds of time)

If anything, I'd argue the pain and effort can be negative it will still work.
> nothing better than waking up monday morning feeling like you got punched in the stomach all night and barely able to hold a straight thought with the impeding stress of having to go to work and perform. so you get painkillers, insane amounts of coffee and maybe some other drug your GP blindly prescribed you and you go on about your day barely holding together the mess that you are

This is what i call the American approach.
While the rest of the world enjoys a couple of glasses of wine with friends or at dinner and that's the end of it, the American will down three full bottles of wine by himself and proceed to destroy family, health, relationships. And then blame it on the wine.
Intel deserves a lot of blame for the last few x86 MacBooks too. The TDPs on those i9s are completely imaginary. Out to lunch. If one were to, say, design a cooling system based on the specs and then receive a production sample that ran twice as hot at half the speed, one would have to do things like downclock it below a gigahertz to avoid burning the user's hands off. That entire generation of Intel chips was a trash fire that demanded a whole car radiator to stay cool just to provide two hours of battery life if you were lucky.
GPT-4 is great at infuriating telemarketing scammers
In my experience alcoholics and drunkards are a very small minority - as in I don't know anybody. Zero, and I'm not a mormon. So shall we forbid it your way or let it just be my way? That's why there are official statistics (NIH, NHS, or whatever every country calls them), to use them and not rely on some person own agenda. And instead of recommending a rehash of a failed policy (prohibition, war on drugs, etc) we should rather recommend treatment for those needing it. Or is this the same discussion as with the US public healthcare, where we would implement anything else than actually solving problems for those with problems?
It’s been nearly two decades since Meta last made an original new product that was successful. People on Instagram have close to nothing to say. Good luck to Meta trying to become relevant again.
No, I found it really surprising myself.

With my glasses on, though, the 6K (or 27" 5K) look less crisp but somehow not fuzzy. Like I can see the antialiasing at the edges, but this doesn't look blurry to me. (It just looks more like a 4K display, where the antialiasing isn't great, you can see the pixels.)

With my glasses off, I cannot make out the antialiasing or pixels the 220ppi screens, but it looks fuzzy/blurry. Like its right at the edge of what my unaided eye can resolve.

After a while (hours), looking at the blurry text has me rubbing my eyes or starting to squint.

The 8K screen doesn't look blurry at the edges of letters. It just looks sharp.

I have wondered if this is something specific to exactly how much my eyesight has deteriorated with age, and maybe when it gets a little bit worse, it won't bother me as much. (?)
Fast movement = higher energy collisions. Robot arms can move very fast, but usually you only optimize for that in production. At that point the system should be collision-free.
> Spaced repetition takes effort, and causes pain. It is tedious. So it still fits in with the idea proposed

This is not true. Anki is tedious and causes pain. Flashcards are such in general.

But dpaced repetition does not requires either.

It does when you use the root directive. Alias should hardly be used if possible for those reasons.
While most monitors these days have some protection built in to combat burn in, I believe it's still an issue, yes. It's why Monitors Unboxed (a brilliant YouTube channel, by the way) doesn't recommend[1] using an OLED monitor like the Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ for productivity work.

This is a good discussion.

In my own case, I write every one of my projects as if it were supported, released, commercial software. I wrote shipping, commercial software for my entire career, and got in the habit. It isn’t that much fun. Lots of boring bits, in writing high-Quality, release-grade, software.

That said, thank Cthulhu that I don’t depend on it for a living.

I’m pretty much my only customer. I write software that I want, and use it in almost everything I write. I also archive projects and apps that I am no longer actively supporting.

I don’t really care whether or not anyone else uses it. In fact, the fewer, the better.
Ads are fine. Collecting personal data to serve them without consent is not. The GDPR makes it illegal for them to refuse service because you refuse that consent. It effectively outlaws that business model.

Getting served ads without personal data collection as a business model is fine however. Consent is not required for that and so a business model based on that is fine. The ads would be less effective but when done across the board doesn't won't make the model less competitive.
I'm assuming they mean the "degrees" part. These days, the standard is to say (for example) 200 kelvin, not 200 degrees Kelvin.
