IME Costco at least is not price competitive with typical grocery store private labels brands. Better quality? Sure, maybe, but they really don't compete at the "bagged discount cereal" price level AFAICT. In general Costco is usually 60% - 100% more expensive than my local HEB's HCF products.

Maybe our Warehouse Stores are run very differently? Not sure. Been awhile since I've gone to Sam's, maybe they compete in that price range.

And I just checked Chase, they charge $12 / month* for basic checking. (*Waived with just $500/month direct deposit, but let's ignore that.) If you're cashing more than $400/month, you should just sign up for it. ($400/month is deep, deep poverty level, like panhandling.) I'm sure there's people who don't get a real checking account and could benefit from it, but the reasons are probably more along thines of "ineligible to get a bank account" or math illiterate, not "too poor for the minimum balance requirements".

The whole idea is just ridiculous. The main consumer good people get screwed over like this is housing, but that's 60% screwing over the other 40%, not the top 1% vs the 99%, so most people don't see themselves in those terms.

First time I heard of Microsoft Allegiance, linked from there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegiance_(video_game) - especially cool of MS to re-license it as MIT for the community, I wish more cool people like that still worked at MS.
I live in Tokyo: there's over 40 million people in the greater metro area. It's the largest metro area in the world. There's hundreds of train/subway stations and most of the population gets around by public transit, along with cycling and walking.

Population size isn't the problem, the problem is the way American cities were built. If you want public transit to work, you have to make cars extremely inconvenient, which means little or no parking (and the parking that exists is very expensive), high density, and zoning that allows all this.

It is more the spirit of it and how it is used by the users rather than the technicality of it. I mean Android has a Linux kernel but it is not used in the same way as a desktop computer.

I don't think Disney can seriously blame competition from video games when they hire a notorious "mystery box" writer to write/direct the first movie of a new trilogy for their most valuable IP, and predictably he sets up ticking time-bombs of unsolvable mysteries that future writers/directors don't know what the hell to do with.

People like to slag on Rian Johnson, but it was JJ Abrams that trashed the trilogy and left the mess to Johnson. And none of this has anything to do with video games anyway, Disney executives dropped the ball with bad hiring and that turned the Star Wars fanbase sour to future movies.
Not true. They were charging 1€ a year, not a month (at least that's the case in my country). The math doesn't add up.
Debian works brilliantly on two ThinkPads. My old X1 Carbon and my current X390.
Economic growth is best measured excluding inflation, but the chart in the tweet uses "current prices" aka the 2008 values are in 2008-dollars and the 2023 values are in 2023-dollars, including all the inflation that happened in between. (I've seen actual economists get confused by this meaning of "current", mislabeling a "current dollars" chart from 2019 as being in 2019-dollars, even though it wasn't inflation-adjusted at all.)

Using the World Bank's figures in 2015-dollars https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD?location...

GDP 2008 US: 16.38T EU: 13.19T US/EU: 1.24

GDP 2022 US: 20.95T EU: 15.21T US/EU: 1.38 (2023 not yet available)

Ratio of ratios: 1.11, so the US has increased its lead by about 11%, which is not nothing, but also less dramatic than it looks to me in the "current prices" chart.
GDP as the prime measure of national prosperity is nothing short of a joke. This indicator is really just a proxy for unchecked consumption. It fools us into thinking we're tracking economic health. If you allow yourself to imagine, say, a population addicted to drugs, you would find that GDP would surge with every consumed dose. Especially in the US, we've allowed our economy to become so consumption-oriented, it's alarming.

The health of the people is the supreme law (Salus populi suprema lex esto).
Narrative works can make use of otherworldly features without being remotely escapist. Shakespeare and mythology are fine examples of this.

Science fiction is historically not escapist at all, but that has somewhat changed.

These days we have adults everywhere who will openly exclaim their plain adoration of dragons and robots and hobbits devoid of any particular meaning or social value. They just merely love dragons and robots and hobbits. This is escapism and it's historically unprecedented.

Are You Having a Midlife Crisis?

I don't think it's valid to say that documentaries or tv shows are not artistic expressions. But yes, as I said, it is not a direct comparison to movies specifically.
I'm using Tumbleweed at work. In 8 months of weekly `zypper dup` I've encountered 2 issues, one minor and one major. In both cases I did a smaller rollback and it instantly fixed the issue. Generally if you wait a week and retry, the upgrade works because the but has been fixed.
> I find my struggle with chess is that I want to act intuitively, something that has served me well all my life in other avenues.

Same. Truth be told, I don't want to have to explicitly think at all. I want my brain to recognize the situation and steer me towards victory through entirely unconscious processes.

> That is, in my opinion, a long time.

It's basically a blip in AV production times. Hollywood movies will typically take one or two years to be made; so you won't see the economic effects of a strike for some time. TV starts hurting faster but it also hurts less, because you have sports, news, and reruns, to pick up most of the slack.

If this was, say, a NBA strike, we'd currently be towards the end of pre-season.
The strike will break Hollywood. There are simply too many other options available. Streaming distributors (e.g. Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV) will simply go abroad and market foreign productions to American audiences, which is little different from living in a foreign country and having mostly American productions marketed to you. Consumers will pick and choose between what's still available on streaming distributors, YouTube, and other non-video entertainment sources like video games.

The cost of an average blockbuster production, compared to the cost of independent productions on platforms like YouTube, is insane. There's a reason why the cost of seeing a movie in a theater is so much higher today. But the value proposition is profoundly difficult. Spend $20/person/night at a movie theater, or $12/month for ad-free YouTube, where the production values of the top content producers have increased as per-episode views have reached into the millions? YouTube democratized content production, and gave anybody with sufficient talent access to the video entertainment market without needing to deal with the Hollywood gatekeepers. Think that the talent behind YouTube productions are going to unionize? That genie is out of the lamp.

Once the consumers leave Hollywood, good luck to Hollywood trying to get them back. And because the union's agreement doesn't extend to foreign productions, good luck trying to prevent actors and screenwriters from going abroad, whether to be part of a foreign production or an American production for YouTube, the longer the strike goes on.
And then you cook the pudding for buttercream with half the amount of milk compared to the pudding instructions and tada, it really is a pastry cream using convenience pudding pulver.

Speaking as a guy in his mid 30s referring to that article, yeah I'm middle aged.

Physical? I can feel and am acutely aware I just can't do what I could 20 or even 10 years ago. No more all-nighters for me, my body just can't take it. No more high speed action games for me, my body just can't respond fast enough.

Mental? My memory is noticably declining, and my ability to learn new things is significantly deteriorated from my prime. I find myself clinging to stuff I already knew because they give me some sense of familiarity and safety in an increasingly alien world.

Social? I've stopped bothering to actively make new friends or otherwise socialize, I just can't be bothered anymore with all the hassle that human relations entail.

If I were to describe my current phase in life as the four seasons, I'm in autumn.
Rejoice, brothers, for the year of the Linux desktop is upon us!

It's not necessarily about strength but brick buildings will survive both fire and water much better than wooden buildings, they don't burn or rot. Brick buildings generally last hundreds of years with minimal maintenance (assuming no earthquakes).

Wood buildings can last hundreds of years but require far more upkeep.

> If you think poor people in the US and Europe have it rough today, you should read up about what it was like to be a normal person in the 1600s in Europe.

The fact that we're better off than people in the 1600s does not contradict what I wrote.

> The average lower middle class family today has it better off than nobility in the 1700s.

But in many countries is worse off than a couple of decades ago.
I get the feeling that the author is a car enthusiast, and the vehicle in question is a hobby project and not something to be driven on public roads. I think the fact that it is unroadworthy is the point of the whole article i.e. "good luck stealing this car, here's a big list of all the things wrong with it that make it a nightmare to drive".

I switched to Linux for work because docker for macOS always uses 100% of every core given to it. I wonder how much electricity is wasted on macOS docker for every dev using it.
Congrats! I am certain you will enjoy it! :) It's a GREAT time to choose KDE Plasma 5 on Debian 12 - the desktop is at its peak in terms of polish after many years of incremental refinements, and the non-free-firmware-choice Debian made for the 12/"bookworm"-release rendered it much easier to use for most people.
Disney's accountants have very powerful magic, but the fact remains that Disney is trashing all the Lucasfilms IP at an alarming rate. Lots of cancelled sequels, projects on hold, and the movies that do get released get lukewarm receptions from lifelong fanboys who should have been ecstatic for it.
What Is In-Context Learning in LLMs?
My primary interest in it was federation and without that, I haven't really had any reason to even think about it.

In terms of isolated platforms, I already have those people on Twitter, so Threads is redundant.
As someone with a friend who grew up under a dad like you… no they won’t. They’ll talk a whole lot of shit to someone like me about what an emotionally unavailable parent you were. Sure, they’ll acknowledge the privileged circumstances they grew up in and be grateful that they at least have that going for them, but not a single shred of that gratitude will extend to you or the decisions you made.

Then again, everyone’s different, and maybe your kids will react differently. Just don’t be surprised if you get a shitty relationship with your kids later on.
Same, I mostly came to HN through search results or links out of Reddit. Once Apollo shut down I pretty much was done - I only ever used Alien Blue and when it got bought, I was off Reddit until Apollo came along.

HN is where I’ll be for my daily news stuff, and I’m actively looking for communities and forums around my more niche interests and hobbies.
System76 and PopOS. It just works (hardware and peripherals), is based on Ubuntu, and is a solid build.
This VSCode Extension helps you to globalize your software faster
Globalizing your software can take days or weeks. Front-end developers invest a lot of resources in the whole process, and contrary to some opinions, this is more than just a one-off task. Everyone had experienced it at some point when the software was poorly translated or not translated at all. For example, one reason could be that the developers need to know if the source messages are missing or missing translations exist. We developed an extension for VSCode that helps developers to extract content, see inline annotations and lints directly in the IDE, and translate without switching files.
> Sorry, are you saying I had the same obsessive collection that this dude did?

No.

But, then that wasn’t what you said in the sweeping statement you made.
More cops! More traffic stops and checkpoints! More inspections and fees!

No wait fuck nobody likes any of that.

Okay what about buyback programs. What about trade ins. What about tax breaks and government subsidies for buying newer vehicles with less hem fuel emissions? What if instead of paying to enforce a law, you paid to change the conditions that lead to the problems that the law was created to address in the first place?
I love my Kubuntu 22.04. Hands down the best Linux desktop experience I've ever had.
No dialogue I think.
The shadow effect with CSS and minimal JS on this site is very cool!
I suspect it's to keep the secret sauce away from people that want to block it.
The question is: Is string truncation a good solution when the strings you have are unexpectedly long? Like, it's probably ok in a lot of cases, and once you start using these functions, it's very tempting to use them almost everywhere... but truncating "Attack at dawn on Friday" to "Attack at dawn" could be a disaster as well.

On the other hand, his recommendation to always know string lengths and use memcpy didn't really become common practice over the last 20+ years either, so I'm not sure it was worth all the arguing.

At this point, I'm kind of joining the camp of "C has proven to be too bug-prone for most organizations to use safely and therefore we should all go to Rust".
I think it was the developer of Krita who said, it cannot just be open source/Libre - the software has to actually be good. There is a lot of truth to that. FLOSS stuff is good at bringing in the folks that see the point of view of Richard Stallman but that will only go so far... well like 1% of user share far.

I feel there is a moderate middle path when it is possible to get Linux desktop to a state that many can use it but without compromising on the flexibility it can provide. Distro's like Linux Mint are so close nowadays, in a way it is very boring. But boring is what you want. It doesn't just tumble over for like... reasons, but it also it really easy to use if very predictable.
Even though I can afford it, I mostly do not need new imported stuff and second hand you can get a lot of things (mostly everything besides Apple stuff) at bottom prices. Many people unfortunately dump stuff after new shiny comes out and some even give them to me for free. My iPhone was a gift from a friend who bought the latest. It’ll go for many years still. My nreal (xreal) now was a gift because another friend didn’t like it and couldn’t be bothered to sell it.

But obviously I can live without these things and for vital things, like laptops, washing machines, dish washers or tvs (not really vital), they cost peanuts second hand.
Japanese salarymen often undergo a crisis when they retire and suddenly find themselves with tons of time and nothing to do. Not exactly midlife, but it's of a similar vein.
> By locking packages to specific versions and only backporting select fixes, these distributions lag significantly behind upstream versions when it comes to security bugfixes, albeit unintentionally.

And the "upstream versions" are how better from a security POV when they are mostly an incompatible redesign ? Or the OP means that GTK4 has fewer CVEs than GTK3 because it is newer and better ?

A new version of a library (or a program) does not mean a more secure version. It is mostly "new features" and the bugs are left there to rot.

GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and similar are fairly new. There are many uses of the technology that remain unexplored by product people, not to mention the technology is getting more advanced and has more capabilities by the week (or day or month, depending on your perspective).

The new AI platform may over time enable more products than even the shift to mobile.

ADDED:

What's implied is that the moat could be built and some kinds of moats are not yet well-known or prevalent. Proprietary data is often mentioned. But also the application on top of LLMs (or LFMs) needs not be just a thin layer with little technical barrier.
> There is a myth at German universities, that programming is too practical.

It has 4 times the amount of flash, comes with Arduino Cloud, has a wide range power supply, has the Nano form factor and buying it supports Arduino.

For professional prototyping I always buy Arduino, for home use the cheaper variants are fine too.
I haven't had that experience myself, I can run Docker for Mac on my M2 Air without issues. Is your actual workload using 100% of the virtualized CPU?
I suppose that those laws are from an era where the only media you could write was audio cassettes and it was mostly a way to record FM radio or copy your friends music.

And now there is an intense lobbying not to change things.
Most (all?) SSDs code the data before writing it so you don't commonly get runs of 0s or 1s. Quite a few also at least claim to encrypt it securely, so you can erase the whole thing by just changing the encryption key.
> improved propagation of ideas has led to improved dissemination of ideas, and it will this time too

I sincerely hope you are shitposting. So called Web 2.0, the platformized web has placed huge incentives to stifle propagation and dissemination of ideas. However, these incentives are somewhat distributed under human review, therefore there can be bubbles with opposing ideas. LLMs centralize censorship, by design.

Currently you can find "BrawndoLounge" and "ToiletWater" subreddits that heavily censor opposing ideas. Even if one is full of hate speech or whatever, there still are opposing ideas there. If LLM guardians decide that one of these sources is "toxic", in an LLM-led web that viewpoint simply vanishes.
Perhaps your reactionary pearl clutching is severely misplaced. The author didn’t say he drove it anywhere busy or that he really drove it much at all.

I can’t help but judge you harshly for actually thinking the author is careening down a street at any speed with the windows up “light headed on fumes”.
Not forcing to check errors is akin to what you do in C, and even there compilers complain about this.
I'm not sure what you're referring to for Disney. Bud Light in particular hardly did anything in the first place, a microscopic marketing deal with one trans influencer, and they tossed Mulvaney overboard almost immediately, to no avail. Target was doing more or less the same Pride stuff they've been doing for a long time, though some widely-spread misinformation has muddied the waters there. I'm pretty sure I have a solid handle on who's responding to "manufactured outrage" in these situations.
