Not really. Matthieu's done some work to almost get it usable, but if there's been any talk of ever taking it out of ports and into the base system it hasn't happened on any public mailing lists. Given that xenocara is rootless and pledged there's not really a security argument for it, and there just isn't that much interest from the team, at least not that they've expressed. Also OpenBSD doesn't have Linux's weird insistence that a process somehow can't find out who owns a display, which makes a lot of Wayland's model kind of pointless on the platform.
Yeah, Softbank... They evaluated WeWork at ~50 billions and a few months later it was worth almost zero. If you work with SoftBank prepare to lose everything.
That was very informative, but I wondered if there is an easy-to-read reference somewhere about WHY git works the way it does?

I am old enough to have used SCCS, RCS and CVS extensively. Each had their faults, but Git is the only VCS I have used where dealing with merge conflicts is unintuitive enough that I sometimes end up with the repository in an unusable state. I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I would like to understand why.

The VCS that maps closes to the way my brain works is ClearCase. You essentially have a versioned file system, and you can set up a view to present any previous state of that file system. Of course, administration is a nightmare, it is not distributed, it is expensive, yada, yada. But when using it I always felt I knew exactly what was going on under the covers, which is not the case with Git at all.
Similar dilemmas in vintage car collecting circles. Some like them fully restored to pristine condition, others leave patina and every imperfection as is. For example this “King Leopold” Bugatti 59 https://youtu.be/MzZIk05pAJ8?feature=shared&t=1017 sold for $12mil few years back https://luxurylaunches.com/auctions/a-vintage-bugatti-type-5...
As usual, a lot of it isn't even genuine outrage but people who just want to see a giant fall. I will even admit, as someone who didn't like Unity anyway I find this quite amusing.
What is the mechanism behind oxygen loss?

+1 to this comment. The book is fantastic. So many good ideas came out of the early 1970s and have been duly forgotten or ignored by this industry. It's time to reclaim them.
I think it's hard because we have GDP growth as the #1 KPI, and VCs seeking large-multiple exits in single-digit years, with no major concern for negative effects on society.

Veering too deeply into pure capital acquisition will destroy capital though. A zombied out, addicted and unhealthy population isn't a source of capital. Ad revenue and demand plummets as nobody has the money or will to buy shit. But there's a tragedy of the commons situation where everyone passes the buck to some abstract "other" who will work on keeping society healthy.

Traditionally, government is the balancing force that puts limits on capitalism and makes sure some profits are re-invested into society. But when top capital holders become political power brokers, government power recedes.

I think the best hope is a new vision where young generations are intrinsically motivated to build a healthy society, and not just to push private capital acquisition as far as it can go.
Science is the tool that allowed us to know these truths.

Your comment is damn rude.
Pick the analogy you prefer, it just isn’t difficult or complicated.

If you’re cutting it so close to the margin of overeating that you’re worried about insulin response impacting the amount of fat you accumulate, you’re eating too much.

If you are at 15% body-fat trying to get down to 10% for a competition, ok, bring out the research and the studies. That is actually quite difficult. If you’ve got a visible beer gut, we don’t need to bring advanced science into this. You just need to eat less and what you do eat should not be soda, doughnuts, and fast food. It isn’t that complicated.
> That wasn't even true when open source got started.

Which is why it took off when computers became accessible; and continued growing with even further ubiquity.

> You also might not need your own. A project gets started by someone who does have access to a decent FPGA, you want to contribute to it, great. They give you remote access to the FPGA.

Cool, so we're back to bottlenecked accessibility.

> Which is available to anyone, if you have customer demand.

Not hobbyists. To reiterate, open hardware (including ISAs) is as old as open software.

You're delusional if you think either are anywhere equivalent.
I honestly see the tyranny of Marl is part of the original sin of the internet, zero-sum online consolidation of existing business models. If that's the model, Marl is the only user who matters. If you're bootstrapping something for an intended and limited audience, Marl can fuck off.

My personal project, https://golfcourse.wiki is basically founded on my attempt to stop Marl from making golf-on-the-internet shitty.

My religion is basically that Wikipedia is the only website that I don't hate after 20 years of internet growth, so that's my model. I've attempted to do this by having nearly no expectations for the site for 5 years (we are in late-year 2, with a year of causal development before that). I do this by running on the thinnest budget I possibly can. There is no handy interface (yet), if you want to add your course, it isn't too hard, but it isn't too easy. The site is ugly simplicity.

Anyone who doesn't understand or care that I'm trying to build a database to then give it away for free will tell me the site sucks, and they're not wrong. It sucks because I am not paying for the data, so I don't have to charge for it. Still, I'm slowly-but-surely growing my google imprint, and increasing my (consumptive) user base.

Anyone who has spent the time to add to the project I'm extremely thankful for. I will never focus on Marl, because the consumption side of the site is not the target audience for me, it's the contribution side. It's a hobby, and at a few dozen dollars a month to operate, if the side doesn't snowball, it's no big loss.
The experience of serendipity of urban life is available in almost every mid-tier city. No one in this thread has offered any explanation or example of some unique thing that NYC has that other places don't that leaves their their poor, clueless denizens deprived of cultural benefits they just can't understand.
> Though Sonos recently won their case against them

Ouch. That one hurt. Google is looking worse every day. Is it going to be "the Yahoo of tomorrow?"
Neat, but this too hard I think. Have used a key with websites and that is doable for a regular (or busy) person. The rest of this should be done by the OS, through a wizard, at install time and/or later. Maybe a control panel app.
And network stacks would be simpler if they took out token ring support, too, and that doesn't happen either. An interface once shipped is basically frozen whether people like it or not. The toolkits still support DirectFB, even if it's not built by default.
But that comma will have the exact same price between 2 contending lossy compressions. In fact, it is a monotonic function of the difference, so the better your lossy compression is, the better your arithmetic one will be — making you measure the correct thing in an objective way.

It’s like, smart people have spent more than 3 minutes on this problem already.
An ages old tactic, take someone or in this case something hostage to be ransomed for letting someone get out of jail. The most well-known cases in Germany involved the RAF (the left-wing terrorists, not the British Air Force), but it also works with nation states such as China taking two Canadians hostage to exchange them against a Huawei executive, or in war times with spy and prisoner-of-war exchanges.

The thing is, the stakes for something like that are super high, at least as a criminal as you need someone/something that is immeasurably valuable, stuff like the Crown Jewels or a masterpiece worth many millions of dollars, as a starter for negotiations - and that is usually just as well protected.

My daily driver is a system76 from 2015 and it works perfectly fine. However, I plan to replace it with a 16" framework so I can ditch my desktop and use the laptop for gaming.
I might have gone through 7-9 aliases in 20 years. You can't connect the dots looking forward you only can connect them looking backwards. If you still like what you did on the net when the need arises to put it in a CV or profile you still can use and show what you did under the alias. If you don't use one everyone can look back even if you later find yourself in a situation were you don't align with the views of your former self. Ignorance is bliss.
I don't want to get in to deep. But they said "lose money on each sale" not that the fee would be greater than your revenue. If you make $1 in revenue, pay 90 cents in various fees, and then 20% (20 cents) to unity, you've lost money on the sale, despite them taking only a percentage of the sales revenue.
I think it's per team and you can create as few or as many repos as you like.

At my last job naming was a free-for-all for a while but then someone stepped in so that we didn't end up with endless obscurely named microservices.
Oh no! Quietly! Why can't they include sound effects?

Dimensional analysis crimes are the best crimes. Express velocity in meter-hertz. It's wrong, but the units are right!
Gamers can be a really audience scary sometimes. Several developers I know have been doxxed because of delayed releases or dumped features.
I wonder if anyone has built a system with the philosophy of the opposite extreme.

"Oh yeah, space is cheap, so I just let my automated system make 10,000 commits per second. It'll be fine."
They let their customers make most of the money, which is how they grew the ecosystem with all the network effects. Just as an example, Qualcomm is a 10% customer of ARM, and they made $38b in chip revenue in fiscal 2022. ARM had $2.7b. Now they want more, and are going to push people to RISC-V if they’re not careful
Geeze, I didn't realise there was such a precipitous drop - I wonder how bad it is for smaller subs.
I feel like git culture is one of the worst about these sorts of things. I've run into people that think you're a loser if you don't use it from the command line, but my commits using a GUI client are much cleaner and I seem to have much less trouble than they do.
I think those sorts of people would have trouble offline on any OS.
If I was Netflix, and I was optimizing for this type of customer, I would want to have them moving through my content as slowly as possible! My goal would be 2-4 hours of Netflix per week, preferably spread across different days—just enough to ensure they haven't lost interest! Autoplay Next Episode would not be a thing, and I certainly wouldn't release new seasons all at once.
To me those numbers look insanely high. Like even the 250k that you're using as a baseline for the plateau, that's around double what is expect for that experience.
Let’s say you come up with the exact same text given an initial seed (of you ate this and that that day). Then it really is just the arithmetic function of the difference, as it is deterministic.

Now, who will get closer to the algorithm with that added arithmetic coding? You, knowing the proofs, or a random guy that doesn’t even speak the language? Does it then measure intelligence all else being equals!
I'll probably announce it on HN when it's finished :)
This was interesting, but I was expecting something more along the lines of base units => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units
It’s Toyota version of the remote work snafu. Buying a futuristic car where you still have to go somewhere else to fill up is backwards compared to charging at home 99% of the time.
They probably got 3-4x what they would’ve been able to get with UK IPO.
Are you interested in a cheap image storage API we built for ourselves?
We are a bootstrapped company and, like many others I am sure, we built an image storage API for our product. We don't have lots of money but we have a decent amount of users (~500,000 daily active users) and uploading images is one of the main features, so we had to create something extremely cheap for ourselves.

We use small Hetzner servers behind a Hetzner load balancer (the cheapest servers we could find). We upload images to Backblaze B2 (the cheapest storage we could find). B2 doesn't have the best upload availability, so if upload to B2 fails we upload to Cloudflare R2 instead. The images are served through Cloudflare CDN, which also saves us on egress fees because Cloudflare CDN is free and Backblaze → Cloudflare traffic is free.

The usage is simple: you send a file to our API, we give you a public URL to that file. If the file is an image, we compress it to save on storage.

Because of this setup, my back of the napkin math tells me we can offer our API at $0.025/GB/month. With free uploads and free downloads. We may need to charge extra if you plan to delete most of your files soon after uploading.

If you're worried about losing access to your files, we can use your own B2 and R2 API keys so you actually own the storage as well.

I'm curious — would anyone be interested in such a service? We've been using it for years, and I haven't met anyone with a setup this cheap. If not, why not? Do you already have a comparable service set up? Or is there another reason you'd hesitate to use a third-party service?
My Tesla’s 0-60 makes a huge difference in normal driving, because the acceleration profile at low speeds is a lot more “do the right thing now”. Driving my minivan or other ICE cars feels laggy to me now.
You should price it against the replacement value - what would it cost to replace ARM? (Or Twitter/X for that matter - in the later case you need to include the marketing needed to match their current userbase.)

The paradigm shift is utterly irrelevant to their market value.

I've been a pro Unity dev, as an employee and then a freelancer running a small team doing contracts for 10 years. I think this was in the back of my mind for a long time but yesterday a switch just flipped in my head and I decided Unity are just not to be trusted anymore, the company has lost all credibility and I never want to use Unity for another project. I'm learning Godot atm.
What isn't secure about Tails? Its been recommended by so many InfoSec podcasts that I've been poking around in it on a USB stick
Even "two functions, in tension" still assumes that you can capture values as functions at all. But the reason ethics and morality are hard in the first place is that there are no such functions. We humans have multiple incommensurable, and sometimes incompatible, values that we can't capture with numbers. That means it's not even a matter of not being able to compute the "right" answer; it's that the very concept of there being a single "right" answer doesn't seem to work.
I assume we can all do the arithmetic. In the market, stocks will move based on price increases, since cost inputs are assumed to not move, or rarely move - COVID being an exception to the rule.
ChromeOS is like 3% of the market.
Can you imagine saying that with any other charge "It seems weird that Tom is being charged with murder just because the sister's victim claims that she discussed his death treats with her and not because we have objective proof of the murder"
Also keep in mind that Softbank was going to keep part of the company (IoT) in the Nvidia deal.
The best way to evaluate it would be as a function of the elasticity of the service provided.

I can avoid eating a pizza but not avoid taking a specific road. Besides it seems like any domain where the initial investment is large seems to be places where one monopoly eventually emerge.

At least in my opinion healthcare (hospitals and such not including drug development) should not be private or of there is there should be a strong public hospital network for providing care
5 sec is slow-ish by EV standards.

The more important questions (for me) are how well it handles on curves, how efficient it is and what the range is.

The energy efficiency and weight (in American metrics) are 5.32 mi/kwh (extremely good), and a bit over 4000 lbs (pretty heavy; makes me wonder about handling), with well under 300 miles of range, depending on conditions.

So... It looks like it'd appeal to the people I know that buy Lexus cars. That's not me, but I hope they sell a lot of them.

"How is it possible that software gets worse, not better, over time, despite billions of dollars of R&D and rapid progress in tooling and AI? What evil force, more powerful than Innovation and Progress, is at work here?"

I once asked someone this question and he replied with a single word. "Greed", he said.

I wanted the opinion of someone who was not biased, i.e., who did not believe, AKAIK, that, as stated by the author of this blog post, "software is getting worse".

This person was longtime shareholder in one of the companies that engages in what's being described here and their success has been his success.

If anything, I thought, he should be biased in favour of "modern" software not against it.

How would that work? Police: Hey thanks for returning stolen property, since it was in your possession we will charge you now, that is unless we learn who gave it to you.
If the abstract actually defined intermediate we wouldn't have comments talking so much about advanced education like PhDs and STEM majors...
They have thousands of contractors and consultants that don't go through this process. That's not a valid reason.
I would assume, but perhaps be wrong, that it would be liquid Hydrogen pumped into a vehicle's tank, and much like a tank of propane, the liquid expands back into a gas as pressure decreases (due to consumption).

Hydrogen vehicles have the advantage of being refillable in minutes, much like petrol based vehicles - yet the only byproduct is water vapor, making them completely environmentally friendly.

Hydrogen is also hugely abundant, and renewable in the sense that the water vapor could theoretically be split again via some other process.

I would really like to know more about why Hydrogen vehicles did not take off as much as electric. They seem superior in many ways.

My guess would be the chicken and egg problem - few Hydrogen refilling stations nation-wide vs. you can plug in at home and charge for 18 hours or whatever.

The problem with academics and people that reason this way is that they put themselves on a pedestal and assume that their model represents reality 1:1 with a zero margin of error. You must trust the model otherwise you are labeled a conspiracy theorist. I don’t just distrust the study, I distrust the model and the risk assumptions put in place. I don’t need a nanny state to shove down my throat things I don’t want. For what it’s worth, I’d be happy for everything to be deregulated and everyone taking their own decision. Calling people conspiracy theorist or stupid because they don’t agree with you is just bizarre.
Many of these words are terms of art in antitrust economics that also have common meanings (eg, 'bundle'). It seems uncontroversial to me that a company would want their employees to avoid using those terms.
The active user metrics doesn't come from the company though, it's what the advertisers and investers will look at first glance, before going deeper and check what they really care about.

Let's face it: in general we're not good at nuance and that has downstream effects in many places.

The escape hatch is probably to have businesses that mostly stand on their own, sustained by their users and don't need to convince random marketers and crypto bros that they're worth paying attention to.
I used git for years now. I’m comfortable with all of the basic functions. It is my experience that I have had several times where merging/branching has caused a repo to “break” It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s super frustrating and this I avoid the merging workflows where possible. I’m sure if I educate myself a bit more about git and pay more careful attention to the details, I wouldn’t occasionally have this problem, but Git really shouldn’t be like this.
The best way to shield owners is to not form a business in the first place.
Yeah that's the part I haven't figured out. Why isn't there a offering for the market demand for something like old OKCupid? A dating site doesn't seem like an enterprise that needs a lot of startup capital or anything.
And after writing that I realised strength training is one of the recovery shortcuts for pacing. Smart people probably read this and think Doh, I'd be fatigued if I had that guy's problem solving ability.

There are plenty of other shortcuts.

I think this is the gist of what I'm whinging about regarding CFS treatment options.

More people would recover faster if Mindfullness wasn't the only tool available to shorten the process of pacing one's self to recovery. Being chill and treading carefully will work for less debilitated people. The really debilitated people are sensibly avoiding exertion, they aren't signing up for an underresourced olympic swim team .
Yeah I made games in XNA, then Unity (for 10 years), now Godot since yesterday.
Sounds like software development
It's open source. You can be pretty much 100% sure that they won't do a bait & switch.
I suppose OpenBSD might not ever have a GTK5 desktop if GTK5 for whatever reason drops X11 as a target (remember they still support DirectFB) but I don't think that's really a showstopper since users seem to prefer cwm anyways.
You can use WASM for image codecs, like my JPEG XL decoder: https://github.com/niutech/jxl.js

My understanding is that Kolibri is a hostile fork of Menuet, and that Menuet's author closed it in retaliation.
I find I comment and write much less on mobile than on a computer, because the writing experience on mobile is still very sub-par.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Linkedin yet. It's been an essential tool for maintaining and expanding my professional network. I've also found that the occasional life update post gets me in front of a lot of potential clients. It gets shown to those in my network, and if they interact with it, those in their networks as well. To be fair, though, my life has been more "exciting" than most, recently, so your mileage may vary.
Not someone that believes in crypto, but AFAIK there's no process for resolving theft outside of getting the thief's wallet somehow, and that's intentional (not theft specifically, but the concept of transactions being final).

One of the things that's been done, in the example of sanctions, has been the banning of identified wallets by exchanges, and I assume any wallet that receives funds from them is similarly banned. If this were applied to thieves, they may be unable to use their ill-gotten gains, but it wouldn't make the victim whole.

The chip architecture produces a lot of value, yes, but Arm itself does not capture most of that value.
