Yea you gotta just go AMD gpu. I had an NVIDIA RTX 3070 and despite being decently technically proficient I could never deal with the hassle of Linux gaming. I bought an AMD 6950 XT and immediately many random issues I was having like league of legends crashing or bugging out just stopped. Granted I also switched from default fedora to fedora with the Sway WM so there are some confounding variables there. Even a brand new game like Starfield just worked™ for me, which was quite surprising. I do just leave Steam on Proton experimental so that may have something to do with it.

Anyways, I'd recommend Linux gaming now to anyone if they have AMD hardware and value privacy. There are definitely still some quirks and typical Linux configuring but even for someone as impatient and intolerant to that stuff as me, it's been pretty good so far

> Your dishwasher, wherever in the world you may be, will start up by using whatever water it can get for an initial rinse of the dishes, and it will measure how dirty the water is after this initial rinse.

> Normally this water will be tepid. But if you make it hot by running your hot tap first, the hot water will rinse more dirt off the dishes than tepid water ...

I might be misunderstanding you, but this definitely doesn't apply everywhere.

I don't know how this works in the rest of the world, but in the Netherlands at least my dishwasher is only hooked up to the cold water, running my tap will have no effect on the temperature of the water my dishwasher receives.

> very expensive family computers in 2000 with "no sound support."

This was not a family computer. It was an expensive high-end professional machine.

But saying that... yes, you're right, and that is the primary reason why I called it out in the review 23 years ago.

I felt it was inexcusable then (and now it looks even worse, of course).

The secondary reason, which I couldn't spell out so clearly without losing the magazine several £million in advertising per year, was this:

If one of the biggest PC companies selling its own hardware with this OS can't get the sound chip working, this tells you several things:

* They are not very expert at doing this and that means they don't really know what they are doing. So, if you want all your devices to work, smoothly, and keep working, you should choose a specialist vendor instead.

* That this OS is not really ready for prime time yet because even a major vendor can't get its sound support working, so watch out, and don't buy this for any kind of audio work.

In other words, pointing out a minor flaw was my way of putting up a big warning sign.
That's just bad code, and yes, that happens. But if you can write it in a commit message you can capture it somewhere else that people will actually see without having to root around in a completely separate system.

Sure they could but we don't work in a vacuum where succinct code is the product, the business need is the product, with that comes a lot of complexity that only increases exponentially with the size of the organisation.

I can avoid to rush code when working in something internal to my team, the moment I need to work on something that is part of a much larger project then all the issues with synchronisation/coordination crop up, and we don't have the time to spare anymore to go through a 30+ teams/5 orgs interdependencies and play chess with all the permutations of interactions between all systems to arrive at an optimal solution which requires the least code possible. I can work to approximate to that as much as possible but it's simply impossible in a large project spanning many teams, systems and organisations inside the company.

At my job we do use RFCs a lot to do pros/cons analysis, play devil's advocate with each other, communicate with others our ideas and check if the proposals make sense in a larger scope, still business needs trump everything else. If my proposal is "it will take 6 months to do this properly" vs "we can make it work in 2 months if we adapt the existing thing to do thing + A" then the shorter timeline will always be chosen, and as a SWE it's my job to deliver the business value, not to write the perfect code I'd like to.

There's never enough time to write code as we wish we could, it sucks, I'd much rather not have to implement hacks that I know will create future pain to myself and to others but I'm not paid to do that, what is under my control is to try to create as little future pain as possible, documenting all the pitfalls, shortcomings, and issues I can already foresee when a hack-ish feature is implemented.

Yes, most experienced/smart SWEs will know that a lot of software could be written with much less code, when you are experienced you also know that it's just a fantasy, reality constraints shape software and the shape it takes is of a monstrosity, in the end it's just a spin-off variation of Conway's Law: we ship code that reflects business constraints and timelines, not engineering ones.

> The slower companies by design are slow because they care more about long term value than the next quarter alone.

This is something that is at odds with my firsthand experience here, too. Your previous characterization:

> nobody in the company cares. Every single person there is just doing enough for a promotion or to avoid a pip. Quarter after quarter, they are just focusing on BS metrics such as tickets resolved, lines of code and other such nonsense

... also applies to them—i.e., large, inefficient orgs that have nothing in common with the move-fast approach. Slow companies are slow because their size and approach to hiring/retention means they're stupidly inefficient. They end up with ossified corporate and social structures that the defenders don't even understand. (Ones that aren't a form of redundancy or the result of other wisdom, but because tons of people in the org, including leadership, can't see beyond the end of the shift, let alone to the same quarter the next year, and can't be bothered to care, either).

> But the most revealing parallels relate to a different expansionary dynamic—that of money. The key to so much else that happened to both countries was the appearance of what seemed like unlimited wealth but was actually access to unlimited quantities of a universal medium of exchange, craved and accepted everywhere.

If you can’t tell the difference between stealing a bunch of gold in a gold based economy and the US Dollar, then there is not much hope for a decent analysis.

At that time gold was the universal currency. So everyone wanted gold itself, and nobody cared where you got it from or if it was backed by anything, as long as the gold was real. So to summarize, people only cared about the material medium, not the backing of the Spanish government and economy.

With the US Dollar, nobody wants the paper or ink that is the material medium. People care about the US Dollar because of the backing of the United States and its economy. The US Dollar could be paper, plastic or digital bits. People wants what it represents, not its medium. This is exactly opposite to Spanish gold.
Can anyone explain to me why this is worse than third-party cookies?

*If* this lets chrome remove third-party cookies, doesn't it effectively increase your privacy by putting that tracking data on the user's machine instead of having random third-parties involved in every page load to harvest that tracking info?

I understand that you can currently turn off third-party cookies, but a bunch of the internet breaks if you do that. If chrome is able to turn off third-party cookies for a large swathe of people, I expect that most sites will be forced to make themselves work without third-party cookies.

I don't know a huge amount about it, but naively I'd rather have my machine present this kind of data than have a network of unknown third-parties collaborate by sharing bits about me to build a profile.
I was wondering this, theres a comercial non opensource arm called Dobot, I wanted to know how they both compared
I worked in a commercial kitchen that had all 3 (wash, sterilize, rinse) of the fluids properly stocked. (In fact, they didn't own the dishwasher or fluids, but subscribed to a machine rental, maintenance, and refill contract, which was just "x loads for y dollars per month, rain or shine", to make costs predictable for the low margin small restaurant.)

You still need to thoroughly clean the dishes before they go in, otherwise in 1-2 loads the filters are completely clogged. They are absolutely not designed for dishes to go in that have any residual food on them.

In a residential setting if you're going to clean the dishes to that extent, you should just finish washing them, as it's basically the same amount of time for a household's amount of dishes. The only time a commercial dishwasher makes sense is if you need to do dozens of plates and cups and kilograms of silverware.

Commercial dishwashers are a bad choice for residential use.
You mean a tax a percentage?

One of France's neighbours taxes petrol sales at 65c/l, not the percentage you might be thinking of as tax. It was done that way because a flat tax fit the political purpose of the tax.

So what's the political purpose? I'd guess that the goal is to reduce the difference between the apparent very low price of flights and the average price actually charged by the airlines, so that flying won't seem so cheap. Ie. the goal of the initiative is to correct a false impression of the price of flying, which is not a matter of economics at all and not something economics can sort out.

There is a huge cost to being on X/Twitter - you are transfixed by all the awesome-sounding mostly self-promotional posts and keep going into rabbit holes so you don’t have any time left to build your own things or pursue your own ideas.

Of course you can limit yourself to say half hour a day, but there is also an emotional cost of seeing people working on similar ideas which can be quite deflating.

So… I’ve not gone on Twitter for several months now and instead just use newsletters, HN, R/ML and R/LocalLlama to keep updated. My heuristic is that if something is significant it will bubble up on one of these.

Besides the newsletters already mentioned here, for research trends I like the labml trending papers list and newsletter —

This is incidentally informed by Twitter trends so is a good proxy that helps me stay out of Twitter.

This isn't even a realistic use case of tracking. Nobody needs tracking cookies to get reminders about buying birthday cards.

Online stores can (and do) remind us about this stuff via email. No third-party tracking cookies needed – you're already a customer of theirs. If they want to get in touch, they already know your order history and contact details.

Or, you know, we can add our own reminders to a personal calendar.
At least in Germany, dishwashers are hooked up to the cold water line. No matter what I do with my sink, the dishwasher will never get hot water on its inlet.
These are great. Get them from fdroid.
For the benefit of downvoters, let me explain myself: the 'reducing function' (also called a 'reducing step function' in other parts of the docs) isn't always what you'd think of as the normal arity-2 function passed to reduce itself. Take a look at the reducing functions in clojure.core - the 3-arity, innermost function returned inside all the transducers. They almost never do anything with result which would be the accumulator in a normal reduction - they just pass it on or return it. In fact, it wouldn't make much sense for transducers to do any sort of reduction because if they did, you'd no longer be doing a step-wise transform over a sequence, and you could just use normal function composition because you'd have a single value to pass forward. The reduced mechanism is only really used in transducers to short circuit, so even there the name clouds the meaning. The only time that something we'd recognise as reduction is happening is when you call transduce and specify a reducing function as its f argument. You'll have seen lots of examples with + as the reducing function because it handily returns 0 when called with no args, acts as identity with 1 arg, and reduces (actually reduces!) with two args. But instead look at sequence which can take an xform. It's implemented in Java code, but the inner reducing function it uses completely ignores the accumulator value! Everywhere you're using result inside a reducing function? It's just null and ignored. But sequence elsewhere stashes away the (transformed) output of the transducer stack and lets you have it back as a sequence. No reducing is happening, just transforming sequences. Elsewhere, into supports an xform argument - what's its reducing function? It's just conjing stuff back together! So to me, the interesting bits of transducers are that they give you an efficient and composable way of creating sequence-to-sequence transformations. Any and all mentions of reducers are necessary plumbing but slightly distracting from the core ideas.

Ask HN: wave functions and are electrons actually repelling each other?
VSPER theory, are electrons actually repelling each other?
If I look at waves rolling towards the a beach it would be easy to convince myself that the waves are objects, and the waves at the back are pushing the waves at the front onto the beach, that the waves are evenly spaced because they are repelling each other. When we talk about electrons repelling each other, are we doing something similar? If I burrowed deep into the Schrödinger equation and wave functions, would I find models that predict the same outcome entirely without the concept of electron - electron repulsion?

Who is the one with the lack of empathy here?

You assumed that I had zero empathy and wanted to get rid of your way of life, on what evidence? Merely because I could conceive of a lifestyle that didn't depend on cars?

Your comments on zoning are incredibly naive. It's not just zoning, it's building code like parking requirements, etc. It's the entire legal structure, culture, and attitude of those with power. I am involved in multiple different dues paying organizations that work to change zoning (not for my dream of a car-free neighborhood, but other reasons), and changing zoning is not the work of a motivated individual, it's the work of teams of highly organized volunteers working to provide some sort of alternative to the hoards of angry residents that harass city employees, yell, and become the most unpleasant people at the mere though of more neighbors.

The creation of a car-free neighborhood is a legal effort that is an order of magnitude more difficult than getting a zoning change. There are so many roadblocks.

That's why it's easier to solve computer vision than it is to create a car free neighborhood. The legal system is welcoming to entirely new cars with computer drivers. It is not yet ready to accommodate car-free neighborhoods.
Given that the USA does not provide universally free education and still suffers from degree inflation requirements, no, I don't believe it's a sound argument that free education would make it worse. It will happen anyway, as it is happening in the USA, even if it costs a lot.

At least with free education everyone has the opportunity to attend it no matter your level of wealth or your financial outcomes from it.

> The design system, where once productive FE devs go to die thinking everyone should use it

Genuine questions: is it badly made to the point where it would slow people down, or do you have another reason for disliking it? What's wrong with the government thinking that many of their sites should look and behave in similarly predictable ways, in addition to tackling accessibility as well, at least to a certain degree?

In my eyes, that's not that different to people choosing to go with Bootstrap or PrimeFaces (which actually provides UI components that have versions tailored for Angular, React and Vue, in addition to Java; something that seems cool and that I haven't seen many others actually try to do) because they want something that works out of the box and lets them worry about the forms and page content, instead of as much about how it works.

In other words, do we really need so many bespoke design systems (and all of the work that goes into that), as opposed to fewer but more well made ones?

I don't use Chrome as my main browser but I can see one reason why people continue to do so despite the problems with it: there are simply no good alternatives, only slightly less bad ones. Mozilla absolutely does not care about your privacy as anything other than a marketing tool or they wouldn't keep pushing adding a million different ways the browser phones home and in some cases executes remote code each release. They are also funded by Google. Brave is mired with crypto and also involved in ads. Edge is Microsoft, enough said. Same for Apple's walled garden browser.
