No one's underselling this, you're overselling this. Jockey (their proprietary software installer) didn't become a thing in Ubuntu until their 6.10-7.04 releases. 2-2.5 years after the first version.

SuSE, Mandrake and other distributions were shipping proprietary software in their base installs in 2003-ish; four years before Ubuntu did.

There's no doubt that Fedora and Debian's hard stance on Free Software turned people away. However, even if they did include them, Ubuntu would still be where it is today. Because their popularity mostly came from the millions of CDs they shipped to people for free.

Fedora (or Mandriva, Xandros, Linspire, etc) would be the most popular distro today, if Shuttleworth did the same for them (and just included jockey on the Fedora discs, with the RPMForge repos pre-installed). But then his ego wouldn't have been stroked and he couldn't be in charge, despite the outcome being far greater for the Linux community overall.
Synchronization Gear
That's correct and while it is actually quite common for that road to become inaccessible and trapped on the west side, it is not common for closures to last as long as this has/is lasting and usually the closure isn't accompanied with a multi-day power outage as well.
Really? I feel like flour babies were pretty effective for as far as you’d want to go with middle schoolers (I.e. no sleep deprivation).
The sad thing is that when it's come out (e.g. the twitter court case), it's been shockingly vapid. And free of people challenging each other even when the ideas are so obviously bad.

It's just a ton of work to make a good SDK in every major language.

Something I haven't seen mentioned much on this thread is that the ~top feature people want from SDKs at this point is good static types – so you can get autocomplete, docs-on-hover, etc in your editor. Way better than switching back and forth to the docs and crossing your fingers.

Doing that well means copying every little change into the SDKs (forget about it) or using a generator.

The open-source codegen tools (ie, https://openapi-generator.tech/) are pretty crappy, so you need to either build the SDK yourself fully, or spend a bunch of time wrestling with the generator get it halfway-decent, and then you're still letting your customers/developers down.

Disclaimer, I'm starting a company to make it easy for anyone to ship a great SDK with their REST API: https://stainlessapi.com
If I was your editor, I'd add the following with a red ballpoint pen:

Out of touch, tone deaf take. Revise.

I just went through this struggle myself when my girlfriend's fitbit charge (2?) finally bit the dust after years of abuse and rough handling.

It seems the market has moved on and your only options are smartwatch-lite gadgets for a good deal more than the fitness focused devices used to run. A damn shame.

We built the app with anonymity and privacy in mind where people can communicate using their voice without any vanity (e.g. photos or profiles). We believe voice communication is much better than texts for providing the sense of connection that humans crave since it is the primal method of communication. So far, 100s of people came on and left voice messages. Some even reported that, had it not been for this app, they wouldn’t be here today.
We will continue to strive to end loneliness in the world. We would appreciate your feedback!

At a quick glance the Pi compute module doesn't have any so you must have added the lone one yourselves?

And of course the geek in me would like to know the network chips and how they're connected to the compute module (although I guess usb is the only choice).
I bought my first car with money I earned working a summer job for 500USD. Then I got my second car for free from the same lady because it didn't run. Me and my pops fixed it up and got it on the road.

These were, of course, complete gas guzzling shitboxes that required repair before they could function well. It wasn't until I went away to college that I had something halfway reliable, and that as at 18, and that car had a blown head gasket and needed a valvejob in order to run. It served me well though, ran for another 5 years before I traded it in.

Understand of course, a car in america is freedom and potential. It doesn't just represent that, it is that. America is very, very big and very very spread out compared to europe. That makes public transit an untenable option almost everywhere.
>Indirectly, it kickstarted global CBDCs research, blockchain-integration research across major financial institutions, tokenisation efforts, etc.

none of those things are things. research into more crypto is not a benefit of crypto. it's just crypto.

If you do anything with web3 crypto or even money, always use different browser profiles.

I believe this is an highly productive discussion, and the question narrows down to "which tool is a better match for a specific use-case?"

The domain of internal-facing applications is quite diverse. One use-case can be a single page internal tool, triggering a small script. On the other extreme, organizations build SAAS/B2B interfaces with 10+ pages/resources maintained by dedicated development teams.

Need to deploy atomic internal tools where technical and non-technical roles collaborate? Retool, Superblocks, Appsmith, Tooljet or Budibase are perfect solutions.
Turning scripts/workflows to basic UI's with integrated security and observability? You can choose with Windmill, Airplane or Onu.
You don't want any overhead or learning curve for your lean project? Start from scratch and build with the great tools React community offers.

Refine becomes a better option for complex cases and higher customization requirements. You can give it a try if
* You have to implement a custom design / design system,
* You want to be able to customize your stack instead of locking in a black-box architecture.
* You a need robust architecture for your long-lasting project proven by thousands of community members.
You have a gift for writing and teaching technical concepts. I think you could make a serious impact on computer science education if you pursued that as a career. Congratulations on finishing this mini-book!
Funny thing is SpaceX is known for applying Agile to its aerospace engineering workflows. Boeing etc. are much slower because they use waterfall.
OK, so if you take a sphere spinning on its axis and put it in a spherical aquarium I could see it all spinning together.

But what I don't see is how that works in an atmosphere which is mostly near the earth's surface. It seems like you would lose a lot of energy as you entered the stratosphere because the air density increasingly falls, there's less room for friction to cohere the atmosphere.

High clouds should be less effected which would make them appear to move much faster than low clouds.

Is there a good source somewhere on how this works that takes this into account? The stuff I've seen just assumes its own model and works backwards.
The space between things in space is quite large, so you're going in a single direction for a while. The thrust from the spacecraft is also used to exploit gravitational energy (slingshoting around planets) for the most part, from my understanding.

In Sci-fi, it's generally understood that very fast crafts (0.1c and up) will need to reverse and apply thrust opposite their direction to slow down for a very large part of the voyage (up to more than half) - so could be a good idea to be able to flip around and apply thrust the other way too.
I don’t think it’s beyond our technology, but it would be deeply unethical to lock a bunch of teenagers in a house and subject them to sleep deprivation and screaming for weeks on end.
Is it really confusing? When I was growing up, people got really excited about how well they’d done taking care of their… what was it, I think it was an egg? Anyway, the lesson that a bunch of them got was, I think, “wow that was easy and fun, I guess I would be a great parent.”
So much sleaze with extensions, it's nice to see it documented. Have to be honest the name "HoverZoom" was spoiled for me because it was one of the first fraud extensions I was a victim of. Nice to see this open source fork with an author concerned about the problem.

These days I pretty much only install open source extensions. Ironically I was using Imagus, just switched to HoverZoom+ thanks to this post.
I really enjoyed some of these. Hearing Richard Nixon making fun of his own political disgrace is oddly charming, given the current state of things. And hearing Truman Capote's real voice again sent me down a rabbit hole thinking about how much I miss Philip Seymour Hoffman.

It's funny how others simply do not retain any clues of why they were once funny. Steve Martin's clip is bewildering, for example. Many years ago, I was excited to find an early Robin Williams standup LP from 1980 or so. I remember listening to the whole thing, and getting almost to the end before realizing that I hadn't come close to laughing even once. The audience was laughing like it hurt; combine that with my expectation that Robin Williams is always-on funny, and my brain just sort of waited for the drug to hit without ever getting satisfied.

It's simply true that political comedy ages like fine milk.
Brainstorming can help identify limiting assumptions.

Mostly compute has piggy-backed off consumer-scale production (e.g., GPU's repurposed for crypto).

The suggestion is that an AI model can justify few-shot chip production.

His proposal is for development, i.e., to build the model, and depends mostly on such models being qualitatively better.

It seems more likely that chips would be built to offer model processing, instead of forcing users into a service (with its risk of confidentiality and IP leaks). To get GPT-100, you'd incorporate the chip into your device -- and then know for sure that nothing could leak. That eliminates the primary transaction cost for AI compute: the risk.

Which presents the question: does anyone know of research or companies working on such chip models?
This is insane ^^

First, to anyone reading who has family or connections to the area – this is just awful, and there's really no words to offer that can change that.

This summer has been absolute madness in terms of extreme weather. El Niño, combined with the reduction in shipping aerosols, against the background of just way too much human emissions building up in the atmosphere is producing some very dramatic events – many tragic.

From the extreme flooding in Vermont, to the blistering heatwaves across the southwest, China, Europe, to one freakish hail storm after another.

Many will chime in and say "it's just social media amplifying the worst", or "The Earth goes through cycles", or "how come the charts start 100 years ago". But, for anyone who's been paying attention to Climate Change for a long time now it's pretty clear that the future we've been warned about has arrived.

It's very sad that this issue was successfully politicized. We have one planet.
These conversations are so tiresome.

Transaction fees have spiked in the past to like $60 direct plus $200 in energy wasted. The GDP per capita in the worst-off African countries is like $200. You think they should spend 6 months of GDP per capita to make each transaction just because a lot of people are trying to make payments? Even today it's like 1% of GDP per capita per transaction in direct fees. It's inadequate for a large flea market or a midsize Costco let alone a global payments network for the underserved. Onboarding everyone onto Lightning would take 75 years and trillions of dollars in fees, plus the entire block reward.

Not to mention the worst off are the most affected by volatility, and this thing flails around like a balloon you forgot to tie off. And 'similar projects' just get hacked or rugged constantly.

Honestly how dare anyone recommend a system like this to the most vulnerable?

They're much better served by something like M-PESA.

The reality of the situation is that only the people in wealthy countries are in a position to, and can afford to, speculate on this silliness. Those people are already adequately served.

The vulnerable deserve real solutions and this is at best and most charitably a distraction from their development.
Because childcare is way more expensive than you'd think, and children are far cheaper to take care of than you'd think.
Doing units in Python is a pain. No easy RPN/stack mode. No flexibility in parsing. Vector, matrix, and date maths require weird syntax. No good concept of infinite number.

The studies show DARE worked at its actual goal (improving participants view of police) but had zero effect on its notional goal (drug abuse).

Of course, if you called it a police propaganda program, it wouldn’t be as politically viable.

My first experience with postgres was around 2009. Picked it out of curiosity and it ended up at the clients server doing it’s job and never bothered anyone.

I thought it was very cool doing fancy joins and reliable procedures but then came the NoSQL era and I nearly forgot about it.
Then everyone started to realize that any growing database ends up with complicated relations and lots of applications do not fit non-relational data structures well.
Suddenly postgres came up with the json and jsonb types. It was like a fairytale.

So when did it became cool? Around 2016/2017. Why? Good technical decisions and execution.
This is demonstrably untrue. Perhaps subjectively you think cryptocurrency is a net loss, but even the harshest critics cannot objectively agree with "nothing good".

Millions of dollars of donations have been raised and donated to charities (across borders!) using cryptocurrencies, for one thing. There are many other good things that have come about as a result of it, but falsifying your "nothing" argument only takes one pin to pop.
Well you know the place then, similarly I've been to the US many times, have worked there and have relatives there.

"We also have a lot of farmers and ranchers picking up the oil and gas royalty income in the U.S."

For many, it's probably a pragmatic decision and a guarantee of income in bad seasons. I don't think it's that different here although many farmers have objected, especially in Queensland's Darling Downs which has some of the best farming land in the country as I mentioned. These links fill in the details, it's quite tragic really:

https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/resources/australia-existi...

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-14/coal-seam-gas-wells-d...

What's really annoying is that the multinationals are exporting the gas at high world prices and we have to pay parity—and even then there's a shortage here especially in the populated South-East. Locals, pay huge gas and electricity prices even though we've an abundance. It's maddening but understandable as in this so-called democracy the corporations essentially run the place.

"...it is potable for animals but not safe for human consumption, it'swe will eventually eat them."

This is quite outrageous really, especially if those chemicals include traces of aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons as they aren't necessarily broken down in animals so they're passed onto us. You'll get the concern that many here have from those links.

As you probably know, the equivalent to your formation waters here is the Great Artesian Basin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Artesian_Basin. It too is under assault, read the section on 'Environmental Concerns'.

It's all quite depressing really.

Not necessarily. Bail bonds can be secured with other assets like a house, or a bail bondsperson can secure that bond for a fixed fee, which can be a few percent of the total amount.

If you are bonded out and work with the court, then your guarantee is returned to you (minus bail bond fees if you used a bondsperson). Otherwise, your assets are seized and if you are using a bondsperson, you now owe them the full amount of the bond.

One major upside of newer languages like rust is that they can start out with these "newer" primitives, with a standard library designed around them and without tons of "legacy primitives" that do the same thing, but worse (like how python has 4+ distinct ways to print a string with variables in it, all in various degrees of popular use).

Once your language has aged a little it's hard to impossible to take old primitives away, but you still want to adopt ergonomic improvements in order to not be left behind. Until at some point you become a language nobody can master in its entirety.
My mom was a teacher in a poor neighborhood. The way girls in my neighborhood felt and the way girls in my mom's school felt were completely at odds. The girls at my mom's school often wanted to be mothers and would tell my mom that. Whereas the girls in my neighborhood had their eyes set on careers, later marriage, etc.

I went to school somewhat near my mom's station and I knew several girls in classmate's families who also wanted to be mothers. This is heavily cultural, and some cultures strongly emphasize family life (especially mothers), and these often are the ones in which you'll find a lot of teenage mothers.

In my mom's case, her school was heavily hispanic. Hispanic culture deifies mothers and many teenage / pre-teen girls saw becoming a mother as a way to escape the drudgeries of life and be turned into 'mother'. Of course, they didn't always think about the other sides of it.

Now, I realize this study is in Australia, but Hispanic culture is hardly unique in this area. Many cultures greatly celebrate mothers and motherhood and don't have the same cultural prohibition on teenage parenthood / emphasis on post-high-school education.

And before everyone gets all mad and cries racist, we are also of Latin stock.

EDIT: You seem very surprised that any girl may want a baby as a teenager, but I assure you they exist. Unfortunately, I cannot find direct research on the topic. However, I did find this documentary tracing women who wanted to have babies as teenagers and were happy about it: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/jan/10/were-gl... . Hopefully this at least proves that such people exist.

They're using April 2022 or 2021 data for the housing cost, no wonder the living wage number is way off.
That was an official feature of the Facebook app at one point. Like 10 years ago. It's absurd that anyone would deny this. It was right there as a feature! Default off I think. But it was definitely there.
Interesting. I think that many statically typed languages bail out too early! That's obviously a subjective view, but I suspect there's a large enough group of people who feel this way which is why much stricter and more unforgiving static type systems are developed and popularized.
All kotlin collection types are essentially Java ones (at least for a JVM target), the difference is that the IDE and compiler are smart about its type inference system so that it can tell when a variable use is nullable or not.

Java has come a long way in recent years and it's far better than it was in the past. Kotlin stands on the great baseline of features that Java has established and there are certainly many advantages to (mostly ergonomics), to using Kotlin over Java at least for the time being.
I thought the point of COD was that you didn't get the package until you paid the fee.

Ada offers modular types (ranging from 0 to modulus-1 as expected) with the overflow and underflow behavior you want, but not a clamped type as you describe it. So you can get the first but not the second behavior.
