I suggest a large reasoning: why big&powerful seems to want people back in offices? IMO the primary reason is their own economic model.

Office means city. City means services. Services means profit for those who run them. If inflation keep going and there is not much space for the New Deal in cities, too dense to change, people get poorer, so try cheaper solution, meaning owning less, witch indirectly means using more services. Let's say some try to go to smaller apartments, then they have not much space for keep foods and cook at home, not much space to washing clothes at home, and that means services. No cars? Well, collective transportation service (improperly named public, since they are private companies in most of the cases) are there. They start to be toll free? Oh, someone pay, it does not matter if it's the transported human or the State. The point is that the SOLE way to realistically reach the famous "in 2030 you'll own nothing" is pushing people to total poverty and doing so without massive revolt means substituting what people loose with something else, services. In cities people can be impoverished while kept calm giving "aids" and services. Once their are trapped is just a matter of time to pushing services economical entry barrier a bit higher and de-facto imposing jobs people's can't refuse to earn enough to pay for all the services they need.

If WFH became the norm, in the western countries where tertiary sector is largely dominating other jobs many people would go out of the city, looking for large homes in nice places, homes large enough to have a personal office per adult, at least, so they have also space for cars, for fridge, kitchen etc and since perhaps they are in an area not so well serving they would prefer some redundancy and they learn how to repair stuff and so on => they would value their properties and they do want to posses, not to lease, not to externalize, less services. Owning means also have valuable assets, witch means an economic reserve that allow for life changes without being so tied to a 24/7/365 jobs and services, they be less blackmailable than someone who own nothing and spend anything in services. Such ownership also means people less keen to relocate, witch means less easy reorganization of the society following some ruling class will.

Then the rest. If the home will be the center of so many people lives, homeservers will be the norm, personal desktops as well, far less mobile devices and own hw means "hey, but it's cheaper than the cloud" and so a certain mentality shift also in the IT world toward a more decentralized computing, like we had in the past.

Then large real estate owners who loose big money and so on, essentially MOST large big capitals will loose points. A middle class can flourish again.

So? Well, they likely prefer pushing people in offices, allowing only some, the most skilled and useful, to be outside the smart city.

No proof, but IMVHO that's what happening today.
It's maybe not exactly what you asked for, but I use EndeavourOS, which basically provides a calamari installer experience for Arch, and installs yay by default. It's not really "hardened" anymore than having firewalld on by default, but it definitely makes it easier to setup Arch on an encrypted volume.

Also, if you wanted hardened, best to stick with OpenBSD or it's ilk. Linux tends not to be hardened easily, and usually severely limits functionality when you do start hardening it (i.e. BlackArch or Parrot).
Brian Eno developed tape-delay audio tech, released a few mobile apps, is a founder of the Long Now Foundation... not a scientist but definitely a bit science-y.

This is a sad reality of the system. It's not built for people to prosper individually or societally, it's about getting people who have money more money. Sure, as a side effect this gives the lucky few the resources to acquire what they need reliably; but often that means giving up your enjoyment of life to pursue investment.

The less you are, the less you express yourown life, the more you have, i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being. Everything which the political economist takes from you in life and in humanity, he replaces for you in money and in wealth.

I love Elixir and I have worked with it in past 2 years. (Specially in China)

But I have been free because the company was broken. I really want to keep writing Elixir, are there any remote job opportunities here?

P.S. I also have some experience of React/Nextjs, Ruby and Scala.

If I may offer an explanation, I think it's because the OP is upfront about the browser being about customization and personalization.

I clicked on the link first thinking "another reskin" and expecting to see the comments you were probably also expecting. When I saw that being a good reskin was the whole point my attitude changed.

(somewhat orthogonal to this post):

Although I think your meta-observation is also true for other browsers like Brave (which I've seen gaining traction recently). While I bet a power user on HN could go and make chromium (or firefox) comparable, would it look the same? Would it be as easy as just installing a new one?

Although although I think a lot of the "reskin" complainers are sad or upset that chromium is dominating (has dominated?) the web, and I can commiserate with them.
This looks really great! Would love to get Kagi as a search engine option
Seeing a lot of $25-45 (USD) used price.

Used books are awesome. I have north of 500 books and I doubt more than 50 were purchased new. Only that many because some of my relatives want Christmas and birthday wishlists every year, but won't shop anywhere but Amazon and think it's weird to buy someone a used book as a gift (I'd rather have 2-3x as many books for the same money, but hey, I'm not the one paying, so whatever, I guess).
I appreciate your answer.
FreeBSD is also on my list being interesting. But I never installed it by now.

Elden ring is so grindy that it's almost worse than any ARPG. And the game is full with artificially deadly things that should not be there, just to keep up its own meme "lol game hard, player dead". It's comically bad in many aspects.
Dumb and wild are also slurs, it's not possible to call someone "weird" without using a slur, because all words like "weird" were originally slurs, they have just undergone reputation recycling over the years that we forgot about it.

Heh, I bounced between urban Florida and Texas during the pandemic.

Our Florida neighbors had an "anti mask party" where the whole point was to show up in protest of masks. The street was packed with cars. And they weren't even stereotypical "Florida man" kinda folk, I would describe them as free spirits, very liberal and relatively wealthy for our neighborhood.

Meanwhile, I have other family that refused vaccines because they were "not Christian." A seperate, nonreligious Texas in-law works as a nurse, and they are anti vaccine. And again, this is urban Texas which is far more liberal than the rural areas.

...The study postulates the "two states could have averted" the high toll, but honestly, it feels like a miracle the vaccination rate was as high as it was. Local governments pushed vaccines pretty hard.

Gentoo. I'm using it to write this comment! It's been my daily driver since 2009 - sans a brief period of stupidity two years ago when for some reason thought that using FreeBSD could be a good idea only to learn the hard way pkg/pkgsrc doesn't comes near to Portage about letting to fine tune your installation.
Been wanting something like this for years over at Exponent. We do a lot of targeted and dynamic emails to our users based on their role and progress through our courses, and it’s a pain to not only synchronize the database with the mail provider, but to agree on a system for capturing the state of the user that works with the platform - we’ve ended up creating a complex system of tags that has to be maintained across both systems.

Re: non technical users, one idea would be an ability to save “audiences” using smaller SQL queries, that way non-technical collaborators could easily send a campaign to a well-defined group of users, and update the group definition once instead of across all your emails.

If you could infer the structure of the connected database automatically and control which tables are visible in the product, people might find that really helpful too (check out Metabase as an example product that does a great job at querying data sources with UI and raw SQL)
I used to use Silverblue until a motherboard swap caused the Nvidia driver to stop working. Since the OS is immutable, there was no way for me to even attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. :(

I think the most luck I've had with a distribution was Arch, but I did really enjoy getting Alpine to run from a USB stick.

Is speeding the primary reason of most traffic fatalities? Also it's highly variable, in some case it might result in a significant increase in risk and in others it might be completely negligible.
How much more, and how do you propose to pay for it?
A flawed model to understand this would be to picture a hexagon with nodes on the vertices. Then, consider a hexagon with one main node in the centre.

When electrons are tightly bound into nodes in and between the vertices, they are energetically ‘stable’. They, therefore, do not like change.

When electrons are shared equally between all nodes and are mobile, they could be considered to be ‘more active’. As the electrons are not tightly bound, it is ‘all to play for’ and some change in state may be accommodated.

The optical activity described occurs because the equally shared, ‘central node’ electrons are ‘free-er’ and have the flexibility to accept unusual states. This is because in the multi-node model, the electrons may be considered tightly bound to each node and so any the effect of any change in the state of a given electron is highly concentrated and local.

In the shared electron central node model the electrons are ‘more mobile’ and so any change in state has a distributed and shared effect across all electrons, rather than only those in a given node of the multi modal model.

To emit light, an electron must absorb enough energy to reach ‘the next level’. In the multi nodal model, the next level is extremely far away and may require so much energy that the molecule will disintegrate rather than emit light.

In the equally shared central node model, the next level is ‘accessible’ in that, whilst unstable, the mobile bulk of electrons in the molecule can accommodate the change and radiate the excess away.

The exact colour of light is determined by the energy required to reach the next level, in most cases. This is a consequence of the delocalisation of electrons in dyes, which may be considered as following the shared central node model. A further consequence is increased reactivity.

This explanation should be considered poor and ignores a lot of nuance and theory (whilst relying on a hazy memory). Likewise, it neglects to explain intriguing phenomena such as the anion-pi interaction. In any case, I hope it is not ‘too wrong’ and helps!

Motorcycle riding is basically that, but motorcyclists still ride like crazy. They do wheelies on public roads, exceed the speed limit by 50 km/h or more, ignore red lights, filter through moving traffic and so on. The fact that their vehicle has 0 safety features doesn't make them ride more carefully. It's the opposite.

This is like complaining that a National Geographic documentary is too sympathetic towards Gazelles. Sometimes the documentary tries to show the plight of the cheetah too. You can totally elicit sympathy from someone while just showing the natural order of things and expecting no actionable change to come out of it.

Moderated capitalism is a beautiful thing. It doesn’t last without good minded people keeping it in check but when it exists, it seems to work the best to improve the human condition. Call center jobs may look like shit to some but to the ones that got out of poverty through them they were heaven send. Now their era is coming to a close and we just have to see what the next natural order of things unfolds to be.

Pop!_OS. I really really wanted to use Fedora, because I once contributed to it and still have lots of friends in that community, but it wasn't doing well in terms of video drivers, codecs, and (especially) sleep/wakeup. Pop!_OS just handled all of those things right out of the box.

What’s the threat model you’re hardening against? For most use cases, a stock Archlinux from the wiki with LUKS/LVM is gonna be pretty solid.
Fewer car-miles would in fact reduce car-related deaths. Make cars less appealing for a lot of trips relative to e-bikes, bike, public transit, walking, or getting things delivered is perfectly rational.

Pretty much all of Qualcomm's SOCs are built using stock ARM core designs. ARMnn is optimized for multicore A-series chips, which constitutes everything from the Snapdragon 410 to the 888 (~2014-modern day).
> Another issue would be a coherent concurrency system. Today we have a mix of gcd and actor system, declarative task, async await, etc which when put together makes me totally unable to understand what's going on in a real world program, unless you're doing like i do in my team : i specifically ban all modern concurrency apis in favor of the old ones.

There’s a layering:

- gcd is the lowest level

- async/await lets you write tasks with suspension points (they wait for events to happen); but an async function is still conceptually executed serially

- the Task API let’s you spin up async functions into various arrangements of parallel tasks and wait for those tasks to complete

- ‘async let’ is sugar for creating a Task to compute a single expression

- for async functions and Tasks to share data there is a Sendable model and various static isolation checks

- actors build on everything else; actors are classes whose state is completely isolated to the actor, and all method calls are posted on the actor’s executor

Memory-safe concurrency is hard. There’s a lot of ground to cover to replace the kind of things people do with shared state concurrency, and just actors alone are not enough.

> Compare that to go, where there's (at most) one satisfying way to design the problem in the typesystem. As a sideeffect people have to think more about the problem they're trying to solve, and how to simplify it to the maximum.

I like the aesthetics of small languages too, but I think Go picked the wrong small subset. It reminds me of Java in the 1.x days, for x <= 4, where the language had fundamental expressiveness constraints that created a huge amount of unavoidable boilerplate and type unsafety in even the most basic programming situations.

Nope, most people don't borrow a strong sense of identity from their jobs. They just do them so they can afford to eat. With UBI they could actually choose to do something which gives them a sense of purpose and identity. Doesn't even have to be art. Personally I enjoy gardening and growing food much more than my job. With UBI I could fully concentrate on that, instead of wasting my time on stuff I don't enjoy.

In fact it would be much more healthy for call-center workers to spend their time outdoors growing potatoes, instead of sitting indoors just to afford said potatoes. Lots of underpaid jobs like this are inherently unhealthy for humans.
> Stefan Mendel is a jew born during the Holocaust.

He was born earlier than the Holocaust (especially the holocaust in Romania). Not to dismiss your point, but it's a disctinction very important to the people born duing the Holocaust.

> He described how the economic state and ethnic persecution motivated him to find ways to raise the funds for getting his family out of Romania.

As a matter of fact, Jewish people were the only people able to leave communist Romania when the borders were closed. Ana Pauker, the Romanian foreign minister (herself jewish) brokered a deal with Israel to allow 4000 jews/month to emigrate to Israel. Several other rounds of exit visas given by the Romanian government to jewish people emigrating to Israel (with oil equipement and hard cash received in return) led to basically an exodus of most jews in Romania. As an anecdote, my hometown was 80% jewish when my parents were born and two years ago, the last jewish person passed away at a littler over 100 years of age. I also have jewish ancenstry.. To post some numbers, there were ~400k jews in Romania at the end of WW2 and less than ~10k when the Iron Curtain fell. A large part of (what I consider to be) Romanian culture was lost during the cummunist quest of rewriting history and creating a 'pure' nation.

Just to put things into perspective. The communist rule in Romania was brutal and criminal even after the Red Army retreated and was under 100% Romanian leadership, and was especially brutal against ethnic minorities. Jewish people actually targeted during the anti-semitic Stalin purge which echoed in Romania as well, as local aparatchicks used this to purge the jews out of government (Anna Pauker is also a victim of that - not to defend her, she was also commie trash but a victim of antisemitism nontheless).

It's nice to have specific terms for special generic concepts. However, use of the German language doesn't stop there, and creates an association between some terms and use in a specific political context, removing these expressions from politically correct usability even outside of the political context that claimed them. And those are a lot more subtle and difficult to identify than e.g., allow/deny-lists.

I run Debinan Sid/Unstable, both as my home desktop (with XFCE as a DE) and as my headless WSLv2 OS on my work machine. I've had it on the desktop for something like, 4 years now? Before that, I ran Manjaro on the desktop since something like 2017, and Xubuntu on the work laptop (as its own partition).

I've only ever had one problem with Debian Sid, which was this year I believe when a `libssl` update broke a lot of things (git, ssh, etc). Other than that, anecdotal smooth sailing.
It's not clear what you're seeking. Probabilities appear because the magnitude of a space is a way of 'measuring' it -- and thus magnitude is closely related to entropy. Of course, you can follow your nose and find your way beyond mere spaces, and this may lead you to the notion of 'magnitude homology' [1]. But it's not clear that this generalization is the best way to introduce the idea of magnitude to ecology.
