As a Linux user, everything does tend to work out of the box for me, and Linux is far less annoying to me than Apple's stuff. YMMV, of course.

I'm thinking that a lot of this depends on what you're doing with your machines. Linux isn't ideal for certain things (that happen to be things that don't matter to me), for certain. Just as other OSes aren't ideal for other things. Your experience, I suspect, largely depends on what your use case is.

Nonetheless Jetbrains should be commended for their linux support. It's great!
Google and Apple do things similar on their devices.

I get nagged to backup my Android phone. It's a thinly-veiled upsell to their Google Drive product. There is no way to tell it to STOP ASKING ME. I have an alternative backup system that I use. I will never pay for Google Drive.

The same is true for the iPhone. If you forget to turn off the Apple iCloud stuff on your phone, you'll hit the free limit at some point, then get an endless amount of nagging to BUY THE ICLOUD UPGRADE.

How is this not any different than a popup in Windows nagging me to switch to Edge? Or to buy O365?

The worst part is that none of this stuff have a permanent opt-out. Everyone has adopted the dark pattern of only providing Yes or Remind Me Later as options. It's just endless harassment from these large, bloated companies seeking more rent, rather than actually doing any substantial innovation.
If Google changes leadership to a sensible business person, I'll put serious money into the stock.

Google is a megacorporation with powerful IP and virtually unlimited resources. It's time to stop the small start-up mentality of chucking things at the wall to see what sticks.

Unify your products/services, assign staff to manage it, commit to your decisions. Offer paid services with support and no user hostile privacy bs.

I'm at the point where I just feel this latent contempt when using google products now. I went from a fanboy darling to someone who actively dissuades people from using anything from the company.
> Proprietary drivers can interact with the Linux kernel.

> Provided they only use fairly generic OS-functions, which are to be found in many similar kernels. Such drivers, which do not rely on Linux-specific functions, cannot be considered "derived works" of the Linux kernel, and are therefore free to choose whatever license they like.

> However, any driver which makes use of Linux-kernel-specific interfaces, which are not found in other OSs (even in other Unix-like kernels) are, pretty much by definition, a "work based on the program" of the kernel and therefore must be licensed similarly.

Now given that, can you explain why the "save the FPU state" function is marked as one of those special interfaces?

The marking on symbols cannot be trusted.
It's not quite the same machine... the current machines have a nightly cycle that will raise the temperature to (re)pasturize the equipment and mix. This cycle often fails, for various reasons which then reads an error code requiring (an expensive) technician to fix.

The machines from decades past had a manual cleaning cycle that included draining the system, partial disassembly and disinfection of parts. Most assistant store managers (and some shift managers) are/were trained for this job. Of course most other restaurants are using these older designs without issue. Also, McDs themselves used these older machines without issue at the time.

The board members for McDs are also board members for the equipment oem, and the licensed repair orgs. It's about extracting money from franchisees more than it is about food safety. It could mean a reduction in maintenance and labor, but there's no reason that higher level store managers/assistants can't also be trained in basic maintenance on these newer machines.
Ruby seems like it has Perl influence. It's something hackers might like, people who want to explore the possibilities of ideas and abstractions.

Python spells out everything, it's all explicit, they don't have 5 ways to do the same thing. They try to have one and only one obvious way to do everything.

It's a great language for programming as a means to an end. If you are writing code to make software, the same way and artist grinds pigment to make a picture, you don't want anything interesting, clever, implicit, etc.

The software is supposed to be interesting, the code is supposed to be an implementation detail that doesn't really matter as long as the tests pass and it's not actually bad code that makes people sad to work with.

My guess is that kind of thing builds momentum. Corporations use it. Educators use it. So other corporations and other educators use it.

If you start out slightly more hacker oriented, you get more of a reputation of being in the same category of Perl, and your thing doesn't feel like the bog standard boring thing as obvious as 8 bit bytes.

And people who want that stay away, and the ecosystems separate themselves out by purpose.

It is. The only difference is that the US (and Canada) are way more welcoming of immigrants than South Korea or Japan. That's basically what's keeping them competitive. I'm also pretty sure that high birth rate from illegal south american immigrants keeps US population going. The legal immigrants have children but at a subsistence level, generally <= 2.
Correct. South Korea's low birth rate is primarily out of personal choices, although likely impacted by high cost of living and weirdly kid-unfriendly cultural norms.

yeah children used to be the best investment, nowadays in developed countries it seems a lot of young people think the opposite, and they have good reasons to.

it's going to be a sad, empty and quiet world in the west a few decades in the future.
This thread was linked to on the Kiwifarms website and people are coming in here astroturfing for Kiwifarms. That's why this thread is such a garbage pile.
They have a big commission for transactions in some countries , and some people ended up with their account blocked and having no wayu to get their money out.

I am just a user, not a merchant so I am not sure what the issues would be from that side of the transactions, I personally avoid keeping too much money in PayPal just in case they somehow block my account for some bullshit reason.

Edit: I would prefer not to go off topic, unless is related with why some big companies refuse to use PayPal and others do use it. As an example I could not buy audio books from amazon so my money went to a different company that accepted PayPal.
I haven’t seen it yet surprisingly. I will watch it tonight.
What's in it for the supermarket then?
I want to agree with you, but look at how Tasers played out. They were marketed as a weapon officers could draw in situations where they'd otherwise be using deadly force. In practice they're used as shock therapy to enforce compliance-- cattle prods for humans.

So although in theory a robot dog could just stand there all day taking fire while negotiating surrender, it won't. The suspect will just be leaving in a body bag in 3 minutes or less, to minimize risk to officer safety and maximize number of calls responded to.

When it comes to all new tech, always assume the worst possible outcome will become standard operating procedure. Be very afraid of bean-counters deputizing Metal Gear and unleashing it in your neighborhood.

Was it really a service, then? Seems like a change in pricing model.
Thanks for pointing that out! It turns out that the latest update to qBittorrent started binding to all available adapters. I just set it to only use my VPN's adapter and all seems to be fine now. Thanks again!

The proposed use cases in the paper like "forest monitoring," etc. seem like uses cases in highly dynamic environments. It seems like the applications will lend themselves more towards human pilots for the time being.

Fun experiment and test, though! Very interesting.
I agree, but Facebook isn't likely to build a competing product. They don't have the necessary data, and much of the data they do have can't be used to train large language models (LLMs). This is something I've heard from friends who work at Facebook AI.

I don't think activating taste receptors while not having calories is harmful and haven't seen any studies to suggest otherwise. Have you?

As for health benefits apparently it has antioxidant properties, but I don't know to what extent that's true. I use it because I like the taste and doesn't seem to be harmful in any way, but it also hasn't been studied as extensively.
Interesting take, thanks!

Its been 120VAC in the vast majority of the US since quite some time like the 1940's - 1960's.'

A minority are still 115-120VAC but very few still at 110VAC or even 110VDC.

But 110V line voltage is still too common of a misconception still lingering overseas.

This can be seen in some power transformers which are built overseas with multiple primary windings intended for international use. Often these will step-up or step-down the incoming line voltage to the working level correctly using the 240V primary when 230-240V is actually powering the transformer through that winding. But when used in the USA with the 110V primary, the transformer powers the working circuit with almost 10 percent higher voltage than the engineers thought they were going to get.

But not as bad as Korea or Japan.
This happened because cars (and roads and their vehicles in general) are unreasonably useful. They deliver emergency services vehicles. They deliver goods. They enable people to live further from where they work, so they aren't so beholden to local employers, and vice versa with employers being less beholden to local labour. Their drivers don't go on strike. Etc etc. Trains are a very useful optimisation for highly-trafficked routes, but they aren't the general case.

I am not a fan of the text for the $5 plan, 300 searches per month, saying “Includes enough searches for 99% of internet users” when the average user who signs up for their service seems to be using 600 searches per month.

> > You're gonna have to replace gas tax

> Texas is doing this just by increasing the price to register an EV.

Not just Texas: a lot of states that have weight- or value-based registration fees, and thus are already charging EV owners more (because EVs both cost more & weigh more than traditional vehicles). In California, the registration fee on the $20k price difference is about the same as the gas tax on typical milage.

And I agree that this smacks of vague anti-EV sentiment. Where were the gas tax concerns about plug-in Prius drivers?

They may pay enough extra taxes and fees to cover the road wear, but the gas tax absolutely doesn't cover it.

>Additionally, anyone notice that nothing works worse together than Google and Google. I had Google Wifi, Google phones, Chromebooks, EVERYTHING. And nothing ever worked reliably. Ever.

Apple is the only one even in that market, really. Everybody else is so focused on getting each "segment" of the market they miss the whole picture. Apple wants to slather you in Apple devices so thoroughly you don't need anyone else's electronics, and if you do it all works really well together. Which is why it's so annoying that I still need a Windows box for PC gaming.
Depending on where you live what you pay for power may well be a bigger factor than what you've paid for the hardware.
Yes there are restrictions on supply but you need to look at why for the things you mention. Zoning doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's implemented by politicians. Why? What forces are pushing for that? Is it the NIMBYs? Maybe. But money talks in politics. So what political interests are pushing for restrictive zoning? Why?

The real problem here is that housing became financialized (like every aspect of our lives). People see their $300k house go up in value to $600k and think they've made money. But have they? You still need a place to live. If every house that cost $300k now costs $600k, you still only have one house unit of wealth. So what have you really gained?

One extension of this is you decide you need to own multiple properties. You need to become a landlord. For many, this is their retirement. But what is being a landlord? It's withholding a basic human need (ie shelter) for profit. it's choosing to let people die on the streets if it makes you money.

So this system only really benefits the truly wealthy to accumulate wealth by extracting wealth through rent at the threat of violence. Eviction is violence. Witholding shelter is violence.

Now this might be fine if the government provided a baseline for shelter through what is most commonly referred to as "social housing". Americans, in particular, who hear this think "projects" or "ghettoes" (ie Section 8 Housing) but look at a city like Vienna where ~60% (IIRC) of the housing is owned by the government [1].

But we don't have such a aystem in the US because it would reduce profits. It would reduce the extraction of wealth from workers. This is capitalism.

Only in the short-term, which is exactly the problem. Squeeze more now and don't worry about the long-term consequences.

One important difference is that Indo-Canadians make up about 5% of the Canadian population. It would be surprising if the higher caste subset of that 5% was capable of suppressing access to tenure-track positions across the board. Moreso if it's extended to NA, as the number is ~1.5% in the US. Less if I'm supposed to assume that people from India prefer to work for other Indians, or if Indians are overrepresented in CS academia positions.

I also tend to imagine that those in academia are considerably more likely than the general population to reject racism.
I hope we one day see a radical new form of raising children. Historically it was truly a village that raised a child. I never understood how my parents raised 5 children. But looking into it more, there was always a community of people that raised me. Community and mutual aid was huge in the small town in Ethiopia where my parents came from. Coming to Canada, that didn't change. Uncles, aunts, older cousins, long time family friends. Communes have a similar structure but usually get a bad rep. Good podcast episode on the topic

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/09/opinion/ezra-klein-kriste...?

"We could be raising our children cooperatively in dwellings designed to enhance rather than inhibit social connection. We could be more sustainably sharing our resources and teaching our children to value collaboration over competition. We could be living in wider lateral networks of love, care, and support; fighting the scourges of loneliness, anxiety, precarity and the many stresses associated with modern life. Most of us are not.”

I was unaware of that. Interesting - "Profits" is an interesting term. Movies never make "Profits" despite "Grossing" billions.

I was just extrapolating from observing M$ behavior for several decades. M$ to my knowledge has never been the sharing type. They will control it either by buying it outright and owning or they will develop their own version still owning and controlling. They will weave the functionality into their Office products. They would likely consider it suicide to depend on an outside party to supply a key tech for their cash cow.
Very true. Go shadow a "normal" user of a web browser without adblocking, and you'll see they spend so much time dismissing popup after popup after popup. It's totally normal to them and doesn't even irritate them. The act of finding and tapping the tiny "X" is practically automatic and second nature.

Same for people who don't curate their phone notifications. I was standing in line at a fast food restaurant and had a good look at some guy's phone he left unlocked on one of the tables. It was just notification after notification. Ding, buzz, ding, ding, buzz, ding-ding, ding-ding, buzz-buzz, ding, ding. The top notification area had something displaying there 100% of the time. How can people even live like that?

Another example. My elderly parents still watch cable TV. When I visit them, I can't even bear the loud and constant ads, but it doesn't even phase them--they don't even notice them. My brain is about to explode after watching an hour long show.

Normal people don't even know of a world without being constantly bombarded with interruptions and messages.
> I don't believe this at all. Feels like overexaggerating.

Never underestimate how petty people can be. We've seen plenty of times in the past decade where people doing hiring will examine social media of candidates (on the extreme end even demand handing over of your phone phone during an interview). So it's hardly a stretch to think people with such views could overlap with people who harbor caste prejudice.
At my previous job, the "daily stand up" never lasted less than 30min, and often times went to 2 hours. Also, I didn't just have one "daily stand up" but two! One with multiple teams, and one with just our team because our manager really wanted to silo our work and ignore as much as possible other teams (especially QA for some bizarre reason).

Yes, we weren't doing "scrum" right, but like communism, no one does it right.
I hope to remain out of the market for cars for many years, but find it interesting that AWD is appearing in many hybrids now, where the main hybrid drive is the front wheels but the rears get an additional motor for on-demand AWD.

I used to be an Audi fanboy for the real mechanical quattro AWD system of my late '90s sedan. Front, rear, and center differentials, always connected. But now, for fleet efficiency, basically everyone is going to some kind of clutch-based, disconnecting AWD on demand. So at this point, I feel like these hybrid/EV style drive axles are no different and quite likely to improve costs and reliability, since drive electronics should outlast clutch packs.
I would guess most people expect those numbers to be heavily inflated and mentally adjust expectations. If a company hits their "expected" numbers like this, as an investor, I'd consider my expectations shattered.
Real Communists use Gantt charts. Henry Gantt's colleague Walter Polakov brought "scientific management" to Soviet 5 year plans.
> if you go into something with the intention of 'this sucks' and then do not even want to make it work

we can rephrase this as "the serum didn't work because you didn't have faith in it."
It's to make it even more savier. Think if someone could combine LLAMA with blockchain and create Lockchain. This is kind of saviness we all need.
London is very unusual in that it has a high density mass transit system and much of it was built before cars existed. The fact that half the households still have cars after all that tells you how useful they are.
I guess I don't get which part is supposed to be the joke? You entered a 2 year subscription to get the phone up front and after 2 years you aren't able to renew and do it all again. Seems plain and boring?

Fast chargers are basically only needed along highways, where they take the place of gas stations. You only need those for long-distance driving, but most driving is short-distance.

On the other hand, a lot of slow/midspeed chargers are basically just regular destination parking spots equipped with a charger. They take up zero additional space. As EVs become more and more common, we'll see an increasing number of parking spots being equipped with chargers. Because this allows EVs to charge where they are parked anyways this means you can essentially get rid of gas stations inside cities - which ends up saving space.

Right now we just happen to be in a bit of an awkward in-between phase. When the majority of cars are EVs, the ecosystem will change to fit them better.
