The FORTH core allows Dusk OS to be ported with an absolute minimum of work. It's like an abstract machine language.
Much larger hardware requirements.
Sounds like they should be using a sedan, station wagon, or compact SUV
For Duck OS to shine, you really do not need a civilizational collapse. Consider a world that existed in 1960s, where computers were not affordable by a median family and only Universities and Research institutions can have them. We can get into that world with a dash of hyper-inflation and war in wrong places.

Semi-conductor industry has complex supply chains, and if cost of bunker fuel shoots to say $500 dollars a barrel, we are done with transcontinental shipping. There are few ways of getting there -- I know Civilization Collapse has dramatic effect and is the right marketing.
Isn’t this like saying that sunburns are not caused by the sun but by an inborn lack of melanin production in fair skinned people?

Is our vulnerability to bullets a deficiency in the host? If we had tougher thicker skin we might be able to withstand at least lower caliber shots.

Seems like just a weird way of looking at causality.
Economic war, if it were to become full-blown, could result in locally constrained availability of microchips while civilizations still go on, no? Pandemic x5 or so. What if India and China decide to trade some nukes? It's not likely, but it's a possible scenario.

It won't be your problem but I'd expect whoever inherits it from you to still be able to get between 20 and 30% or so of the original capacity out of it. Which is likely ample to run simple stuff, assuming the simple stuff itself survives that long.
I more or less only use that endpoint to read posts
The problem is that users type in "how to do X" into Google. End users often enough don't even know the website of your application, I know so many people who literally go to Netflix by typing in "Netflix" in the bar and click the first link.

But Google has dumbed down so hard that scammers using generic keywords outcompete everyone including yourself (or outright clone/farm SO/Wikipedia/whatever), which is why many people add "stackoverflow" or "reddit" to the search terms, and the latter broke a few weeks ago when many subs went private.

The most annoying thing is, Google could shut down a lot of these scammers if they would invest in a couple hundred people to look at the most frequent questions and rate the top 20 sites - everyone caught to be a blatant spammer gets the boot, and everyone selling fake dick enlargement pills or whatever gets the police with the full support of the billions of dollars of Google. But they seem to have completely stopped all effort into their core product...

Symbolics CGI production notes: How Stanley and Stella came together (1988)
It seems to me like this was Wayland's fatal mistake, honestly. They left window management as an "exercise for the reader" (so to speak) because they didn't think that window management was a "serious" domain, and didn't understand how issues could arise from fragmentation there. So we traded the decades of cruft and fragmentation within the X11 spec for baked-in fragmentation at the DE level. I expect that we'll never reach a Mac-like utopia where you can set global keyboard shortcuts for window management (such as next/previous tab) at the OS level, and have it work across Wayland apps, because of this.

> This is the only explanation that doesn't depend on a source of dumb money that can never learn buying this debt.

No it isn't. A simpler explanation is that the people making the decision aren't the ones paying for the failure. I see this all the time at the executive level in finance -- people will knowingly make bad deals if it gets them their bonus.
Speaking as a diabetic, I'm looking at either taking at least one insulin shot per day for the rest of my life (basal insulin plus maybe short-term insulin), or maybe one Ozempic shot every week for the rest of my life.

I'll definitely take the weekly shots over the daily+ shots.

And for people who are obese but not diabetic, I'm willing to bet many of them are pre-diabetic. So, maybe one Ozempic shot per week instead of needing to go on daily insulin shots in the near future. I'd be willing to bet that they would prefer an ounce of preventative as compared to a pound of cure.

OK, at the end of my WiFi I have a SATA or much faster drive (or any other data source) attached.

So the WiFi becomes the transport layer in the OSI model. It's the throughput data rate that matters not the type of devices that are connected at either end of the link (nor the protocol by which they're connected).

If you need speed and money is of limited concern, consider fiber. There are some nearly invisible configurations that stick onto the walls, and baseboards or crown molding can be a channel as well. It’s possible you could sneak it under a door, or through a small gap in the frame behind the trim. You might even be able to smuggle it through electrical conduit for short distances, since it’s non conductive (but don’t trust me on the safety or compliance issues of that, I wouldn’t trust myself, though I’ve seen zanier from the previous homeowners here...)

The obvious downside being the extra expense of media conversion.
I had a 95 F-150 that I sold off like 20 years ago and I’m contemplating another (or possibly a 250). Like you say, it wasn’t particularly safe: It had one non-progressive airbag and no ABS. If you didn’t keep a bunch of sandbags in the back, the rear end was liable to come around right after any rain.
Impressive, although the first example fails at the very last second when the virtual guy's voice glides up while saying "what?" and the autotune-ish pitch correction effect is clearly audible.
Other examples are nothing short of incredible. If it really can output minutes of credible voice just by training it with a few seconds, next step will be to make it sing. I foresee a legal storm approaching when someone will use a similar technology to put for example Elvis' voice -without naming him- in some advertising, so that fans would recognize him but the audio wouldn't match neither any of his lyrics nor any existing songs by him.
That would be a great cartoon.

For what it’s worth, I don’t like a lot of government meddling. Not because the free market is so great but because the meddling works out poorly and is subject to worse kinds of corruption and power games.
surely, but system76 is the pop funding model, so while i don't enjoy their laptops i hope they are successful enough to continue its development
It's a possibility. But in that case an all out effort to recreate a competition free fab in the west would be able to put something usable together in a few years. I don't see that as a scenario where you'd need to go for scavenged hardware, any old cellphone has enough power to deal with factory automation at that level and well beyond it.

We know exactly what to build and how to tie it all together, the reason we currently do not is economics, not because we could not.

Personally I think the degree to which the Western world is making itself dependent on supply chains like that is irresponsible, but I also think that to some degree it is the same kind of thinking that went on in Germany to make itself dependent on Russian gas. It goes something like 'let's tie ourselves together at the hip in an economic way so that a shooting war is no longer an option'. This presumes rational actors on both sides. Which was a giant mistake in the case of Russia and which may well be a giant mistake in the case of China and Taiwan. But then there is still Korea and possibly Japan.

Ya reading ACX’s articles on vitamin D was a good illustration in how hard it is to have reliable studies that you can be confident in. With health and large populations there’s just so many confounding factors.

Motorcycles do not have mandatory training in Ohio. Just a written test and quick obstacle course. Temp permit is just a written test.
> The reasons for this dire situation include: decimation of habitat by logging and suburban encroachment; building of roads that cut off access to the water which it needs for spawning; predation by foreign species such as house cats; and booming populations of its natural predators, including the bald eagle and *sasquatch*.

I feel like I should have figured out this was a gag sooner...
We're talking about "devices which have proprietary UIs" so in that case, the company creating the proprietary UI is free to choose the hardware. At that point, all of the benefits of Linux over BSD cease to exist, because the vendor can simply choose hardware that supports BSD (or pay someone to develop drivers). So yes, in those specific cases (again, "devices which have proprietary UIs"), you could easily replace Linux with BSD.
I find high skepticism as well. When things too farfetched to be real like this happen I have to assume human intervention was involved. Perhaps some lord thought it amusing to pay people to dance and not tell anyone. Perhaps a competing king wanted to make these areas look bad or cause a panic.

Especially since nothing similar has ever happened again.
Maybe we should just teach everyone to treat others the way they want to be treated and leave it at that. Gender is, in many ways, outdated.
I don’t believe anything one way or the other, but the whistleblower who testified under oath to congress and prompted this legislation (among other whistleblowers still anonymous) he mentions non human intelligence and bodies. His name is David Grusch, you can google for some interviews with him if you’re interested.

The Swiss system isn't quite lassiez-faire capitalist:

> Swiss insurance companies [must] offer the mandatory basic plan on a not-for-profit basis, although they are permitted to earn a profit on supplemental plans.

It does seem like a promising approach that's (largely) market-driven.

been a while since I played with Red, but from what I remember the problem was this:

1. default compile mode was shared, so all executables relied on a "libred.dll" or similar

2. compiling "libred" was really slow (1 minute), but after that its done and skipped in the compile stage, making compile much faster (but still with the limitation of #1)

3. you can compile static, but then the static "libred" needs to be compiled EVERY TIME, making every single static compile, even "hello world" take one minute EVERY TIME.

I posted multiple issues about #3, but they were closed each time as "wont fix" or "working as intended" or similar. So OK fine, I just moved onto Go and Rust, even C, plenty of other languages that dont have this issue.

Well, people also argue that it's a virtue of Linux that it's easier for non-technical grandmothers to use than Windows. I'm not making that up, either.
Here's a short list of things the current citizens of England didn't do:

- Genocide against the people who lived in America

- Bring India to its knees, from one of the richest to one of the most impoverished nations in the world

- Addict China to opium

- Irish potato famine

Furthermore, the narrative that Scotland is subservient to England, and not equally complicit in the historical crimes of the *union of England and Scotland* is misleading. The 1707 Acts of Union [1] were introduced by both nations.

Ah interesting, make sense. You're saying use solar most abundant and cost-effective, effectively optimizing energy consumption and saving money by leveraging solar during high-demand periods? Just spitting it back to confirm I got what you're saying.
If only it wasn't built with PHP. We need a batteries included, non-headless, open source CMS for Node.js.

Headless is pointless for the vast majority of use cases, so I don't really understand why Node.js developers keep making them.

It's funny how CMSs follow the same design patterns based on the language. PHP CMSs are generally the same, Node.js CMSs are generally the same.

Making text wider is lazy. At some point, you'll need to break it into columns so that the text is readable. Perhaps on super wide screens, three or four columns (akin to a two column book that's wide open or a newspaper) may even be more preferable.

Otherwise, the other option is to scale up thr text size, but that takes up precious vertical space on wide screens, and doesn't increase information density.

Obviously, text columns may only make sense it certain scenarios - a minimum amount of text might be required to justify a second column as opposed to just limiting the width of the first column.

It must be harder. If it wasn’t, you’d be able to get to arbitrary pressures with a constant force. So, in the extreme, if you can get the air to 15 psi with your lungs, you’d be able to get the air to 1000 psi with your lungs, too.

Another way to see that is to consider two tanks at different pressures that are connected to each other, and ask yourself why air will flow from the higher pressure one to the lower pressure one.
Once you do this math it becomes very difficult to justify truck ownership without also being responsible for something that needs hauling/towing on a regular basis. The truth is that in 2023 a truck is a lifestyle purchase for many people as evidenced by the average cost of a new F-150 and the inability to buy buy a no-frills Regular Cab pickup outside of fleet sales.

If you'd have told me 15 years ago that people would be buying pickup trucks brand new for $60k with regularity I wouldn't have believed you but here we are...
I use 'community' because, as someone else mentioned, 'channel' is already in use as a word and an invite-only collection of chat rooms where you can often create a custom profile I think can be called a community.

Server is indeed misleading and inaccurate, though I do fear we lost another war: hacker now means cracker, cloud now means foreign server, crypto now means cryptocurrency, ping used to mean Blackberry Messenger, you name it; these things come and either stay or go again... it might be more confusing to use another term for it (I try to introduce community where possible, but the opportunities are rare) because people have to (be able to) figure out from context what you're talking about.

When google was launched, you'd have some curiosity about any random topic, or a specific question, and google would very likely give you some hobbyist website like is common among these that answers your question and more. The introduction of google was a completely mindblowing demonstration of how big the web already was back when it was a niche thing.

The web is much bigger now but in many ways feels much smaller. Everything is so samey, and there's so much consolidation that you don't really need to leave the top few sites.
