I'm not a KDE user, but to be honest, I quite like a lot of the KDE designs. I'll admit, KDE design is nowhere near as meticulous as Apple's design, but even since KDE 3 I've always admired the design anyways, just for being colorful and functional.

Focusing too much on style can be a bit of a problem, though. All too often, Linux theming and UX feels very "skin deep" - and obviously, It'd be great if most people focused on stability and robustness at this point.
I have 2. One is broken, nobody was able to fix it, the other has broken WiFi and was my primary machine used with an Linux and an Ethernet adapter for a few years.

I'd also like to know what to do with it. I don't really want to crouch over by the nighthawk repeater for hours just to mess with NixOS on it, if that even works.
I found the early game changes incongruous with the core design of the mod as well. The mod is about logistical challenges - specifically where trips are high volume but high cost. I don't know why a mod about that in the context of space exploring needed an extended burner phase, for instance.

When people move to Texas because there is no income tax, they discover that TX makes up for the difference via higher property tax. I hear anecdotes that for ordinary people, their taxes went up after moving to TX. There is no free lunch.

"Red states" tend to favor tax structures that are regressive and place greater burden on low/middle income people. "Blue states" often try and tax wealth and corporate income and use the money to provide more services.
That's not really how interfacing with hardware works.

Drivers have intimate knowledge of the hardware, and expect exact behavior. If the knock off hardware doesn't exactly implement those same behaviors that that driver expects, problems can happen.

I assume that the driver did something different, that the knock off got wrong.

I get it, but these companies could save themselves this kind of headache by just being more accurate about what they're selling.

1. People have a different sense of humor, that means what you find funny isn't always what others find funny. If you have a very... peculiar.. sense of humor, it might happen that nobody finds your jokes funny ever.

2. What is funny also depends on the context. The same joke will land differently if you tell it on the internet, in a chat, on a date, in a pub, to a stranger to a friend etc. If you have a hard time understanding what the context does to a joke, don't make them.

3. The purpose of jokes (typically) is to lighten the mood and to ease potential tensions in social situations. If you dice a 0 on joking however the outcome will be that people will see red flags and connect you with that weird guy that totally overdid it for them. If you are constantly rolling zeros, maybe stop rolling because it is hurting yourself.

> With a proper `package.lock`

I've never heard of package.lock. Are you as familiar with the subject as the general tone of your comment implies?
I have long-believed that programmers can be divided into two camps:

* "Factorio is just like what I do at work all day - why would I do that in my free time?"
* "Factorio is all the best bits of what I enjoy about work, with none of the bad bits (obfuscated errors, meetings, dependencies on other teams, politics) - I want to do this forever!"

Personally I'm in the latter camp, but the former are certainly not wrong.
I think what this article misses is that 'value' is a personal/subjective thing. Value is not the same as price. To me, the value of a house might be higher than to you (say because I am more desperate to move out of a tiny apartment). This does not hold for the jar of coins example in the article of course.
This protects your machine but not necessarily the resulting binary code. Nothing prevents the malware from patching the source before building and removing the patch before the end, resulting in a binary and a package that contain code that doesn't match your trusted sources.

As a general rule, it must always be possible to build without network access, otherwise you're having a big trust problem. And once you know you're having all your dependencies, only then you can think about sandboxing all this stuff after having carefully studied it.
If you have an endpoint that returns json and you can’t change for legacy, historical, compliance reasons, it might make some sense to integrate with an application that uses htmx the way it was intended and only needs that one weird legacy endpoint returning json to be converted to HTML client side. That sounds like the use case for that extension - the other explanation is someone wanting to jump on the htmx bandwagon without understanding the philosophy, and so trying to keep returning json, converting to HTML on the client and then trying to shoehorn this into a hypermedia architecture :)

I was recently at a gift shop in a zoo. There were a ton of pro-environment signs and posters throughout. I selected a few items to purchase for my daughter then went to the cashier to pay. There they prominently displayed a large sign stating “saving the planet one bag at a time”. Nearly every item in the store they sold was plastic, wrapped in more plastic packaging.

Are we really so naive?

Like a lot of things it depends a lot on the company. The label means nothing.

If you work for a company with a poor Engineering culture where tech is not valued "DevOps" means "get the nerds in the basement to fix my laptop". No one will care about you until there's an outage. Then everyone will care about you for 72 hours where they promise to prioritise all the things that were neglected in the last 5 years. And then they will forget about you until the next incident and the cycle will repeat indefinitely.

If you work for a company where Engineering culture is strong and tech is front and centre you can have a more fulfilling career.

I agree that Ubuntu has problems, but I can't see NixOS ever replacing it; Ubuntu's whole thing has traditionally been that it's user-friendly, and especially beginner-friendly. NixOS is beautiful, but it's not an easy learning curve.
> most people would likely feel is fundamentally opposite of how privacy should work

I don’t know. I agree with Zetice. I would prefer least private by default and opt-in to more privacy. Most private by default is how we ended up with those annoying “accept all cookies” nag screens everywhere, and it will only get worse with most private as default.

The internet isn’t the physical world, and I don’t think a reasonable expectation of physical privacy equates to the same thing as digital privacy.
It’s a fork, I think, with some new features.
They both are still safe in expected doses for majority of people (roughly 90%), and even for those 10% with sensitivity the main health concerns are temporarily gastrointestinal problems like flatulence & bloating - more of a nuance than actual health danger...
I think protecting privacy to prevent the government from becoming oppressive tyrant seems like it applies to more people and in more indirect way than fishing limits. But maybe my priorities just aren't right.
Well, the closest potentially habitable planets outside the solar system are lightyears away. Even if we master space travel, I don't see a reason why at least some humans wouldn't stay on Earth, unless it becomes truly uninhabitable. Of course this is speculation about the far future and technologies that don't yet exist, so it's hard to predict what would be likely in that scenario.

>If "we" are here, or "something else" arrives at that time they are likely so advanced that the topic of communicating nuclear risks to them is rather pointless.

I can think of at least two scenarios where that's not true: (1) human civilization collapses between now and then, and (2) humans go extinct and intelligence evolves in some other species. I'm sure there are other possibilities as well.

Since Red Hat is at the earliest stages of grappling with this issue and I can't speak for the teams involved I don't think there's anything I can say, other than that our corporate policies on product licensing by default do not allow stuff under licenses like BUSL-1.1. The only case I am aware of offhand where Red Hat briefly had a 'source available' license in a product concerned some code that was transferred from IBM to Red Hat (the source available component was third party with respect to both IBM and Red Hat; IBM does not or at least did not have the same restrictions on use of such licenses that Red Hat has).

Just speaking personally, I'm happy to see this fork occurring and hope they succeed in joining CNCF.

Yes, and? Everything that is supplied by physical processes has some physical limit. It's fine to use "unlimited" to refer to things that are subject to physical constraints, it's not the same thing as "infinite".

You need to engineer a system when the AI state something it has to give a command that should support what it says and explain how the command shows that it is true. At this point the command should be really executed and its output or error fed yo the AI so that it can confirm the statements or correct it.

I am crazy how they think a system with no feedback loop can be always accurate. Only perfect mathematics can work like this, any -like system need to have a feedback loop.

I forget the term for it but there is a thing in anime subgenres where something comes out that is a kid of rejection/critique of the previous genre and acts as a kind of pseudo parody that afterwards sets a new direction and redefines the genre. Often these are hard to understand unless one is already familiar with the trends and tropes that it is critiquing. A good example is neon genesis evangelion, it's a critism of the mecha subgenre that came before it, but changed the way the mecha subgenre was afterwards. I'm told hunter x hunter is the same kind of redefining pseudo parody with the battle shonen genre, but I'm less familiar with that.

I feel like snow crash it's kinda along those lines.

I'll let Peter Hitchens keep a chronicle. I'm collecting and studying enlightenment era literature to better understand what is being destroyed and what will need to be put back. I don't think the modern era is unique, I do think we're in the twilight of the enlightenment which was an unusually good time for my subset of humanity. Like Chertersons fense, we've forgotten how we got here and we're removing freedoms without understanding the consequences. My main goal is to avoid involvement in any great power conflict. I think I'm an unusual 'prepper' in that my long held prediction of 'collapse' was specifically the cost of living criss we are now experiencing. I prepared for it by investing in software that is inflation resistant. I targeted the low-cost substitutable good market so for me bad times are good.
As with just about everything else, it's a whole lot easier to build a proof-of-concept prototype than it is to solve the problem at scale. New technologies often have either inherent limitations that make it infeasible for them to scale up (e.g. use of fragile or hard-to-manufacture materials, square-cube issues, outsized cleaning/maintenance requirements) or would simply have a staggering cost at any scale that makes a practical difference.
Also keep in mind that games don't run at a constant FPS. The "FPS" stat that we talk about is an average of the time each frame took to process and render, 1/x. But we can also talk about deviation from that average, which is where you get "1% low" and "0.1% low" stats. If your 1%s or 0.1%s dip below your monitor refresh rate, that becomes microstutter, which is way more noticeable than a reduction in the average frame time.

Wanting to have FPS at 2x your monitor's refresh rate will[0] provide a significant safety margin against frames that take too long to render. I will also point out that this 2x rule came into the community before we had adaptive sync, so the alternative would be turning off vsync in the vain hope that microstutter would get lost in the tearing.

For the record, "microstutter" wasn't really a common thing people talked about until fairly recently, so I'm kind of applying today's more scientific analysis of game performance to things that back then were largely superstitions that happened to work.

While the illustrations are stylish, I'm distracted by a lot of the prosthetics for two reasons:

First, the characters are depicted doing mundane day-to-day things, but are missing limbs, either partially or wholly. What has been tearing apart the arms and legs of people in this dystopia? Maybe this is the aftermath of some intense war that has left them all crippled and with an expressionless thousand-yard stare

Secondly, the prosthetics would not work in most of the cases anyways. For example, the girl in "coffee" who is depicted running while holding a cup has a robotic leg from half of her calf down. The calf muscle wouldn't be able to exist, let alone work well enough in conjunction with the prosthetic. Or in the picture titled "Groceries" which shows a man with a prosthetic leg with a knee that's lower than the knee on the functional leg, which would make walking a cruel chore
> I think any of us would balk at a government agency spending 1300 bucks on a single pencil (first link).

Only people who don't understand how engineering and manufacturing projects work. $1300 is completely reasonable for a very low volume manufactured product, which was specified to meet specific criteria.

The reason it sounds unreasonable is because it is being called a "pencil/pen", instead of what it actually was, which was speciality equipment designed to be compatible with the conditions inside of the spacecraft.

At face value in meme format, the implied "free" solution would be buying a pen or pencil off the shelf, when in reality, that alone wouldn't have solved the problem. It is possible that someone could have evaluated off-the-shelf options to see if one would have met the criteria, but that would still have significant labor cost.
> But your honor, it's obvious that we can't actually provide what we said we'd provide, so they should have assumed we would do less than that.
