We would need a Vaultwarden-like project for the clients as well to have an OS fork.
https://github.com/bitwarden/clients
Isn't most of this is because people are running their OS from an SDcard, with a heavyish desktop environment? Are people using libreoffice Writer or abiword for word processing? libreoffice Calc or gnumeric for a spreadsheet? Thunderbird or claws-mail for email? What about the DE they are using?

Semi-serious.

It regularly picks up an entirely bizarre song, however in doing so it's also found some bangers. My kid loves diggy-diggy hole and it played the wind rose version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34CZjsEI1yU) which is awesome.

I asked for I wanna be like you for the kids and got the expected one a few times. Then one time it returned the triple J version by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD0VpmaSBjs) which became the new version for running around the room pretending to be a rollercoaster.

These are covers at least, but it will also just play the weirdest mishearings of something.

So semi-serious as I'm mocking it getting things wildly wrong, but also legitimately we discover new music this way.
> The US courts, if the media are to be believed, have ruled its contributed to cancer.

Even worse, herbicide companies are supposed to collect data from unbiased studies that cover their products effects and provide them with a summary to the authorities to show they are safe for use. The court case uncovered an internal email chain where Monsantos management was openly discussing its methods for snuffing out "problematic" studies using contacts it had with various institutions. This undermines the entire "there is no conclusive proof" narrative and should have had dire consequences for every institute with close contacts to Monsanto for fucking with such an important safety process on global scale.

Yeah, and those Germans got their expensive energy bills because they believed in "Green" (like Soviet/Russian funded) propaganda about dangers of nuclear power, even though the risk of Chernobyl or Fukushima in Germany has always been extremely low.

>You would think Netflix getting out of the business should be a sign for shares to go up.

A massively corp with many experienced analysts considers a market no longer capable of producing a profit... to me that is a sign that the sector is dying.

There's probably a [small] steady-state business in there, but investors want growth.
This equation is fine, no one doubts it. The issue is why do people who have enough fat stores to last them months get hungry, and why does hunger feel like physical pain. And given these facts why does standard govermnent advice recommend that we constantly eat. I think two meals a day should be the max, and a glance at cereal sugar content makes breakfast the obvious one to drop. I followed this and it reduced my calorie intake and weight (lost 20kg over a couple of years).

Not sure I follow. When my master password is breached, attackers would still need to have my hardware key (which I obviously don't keep in the cloud), right?

Why does there seem to be a skew though?
Many commuters have weekly, monthly, or even yearly passes and therefore would only be slightly annoyed by the 'unfairness'.

But more importantly the wage negotiations are very complicated as 80% of the money ultimately comes from the government and therefore politicians needs to be motivated. Politicians are mostly motivated by annoyed voters (and campaign contributions obviously).
What the author calls "software environments" are actually called "software distributions".

And yes, being able to install a single version of each package is rather limiting.

The main idea of a software distribution, is that all software is packaged in coordination, and the versions in the repositories work with one another. E.g.: the packaged firefox will be built to work with the packaged version of libpng and fontconfig. And all other software packaged works with the same version of fontconfig too.

If there is a version mismatch and conflicts, this is usually resolved at a distribution level. Keep in mind that distributions nowadays are a lot more vanilla than the original BSD idea of a distribution. In BSD, a distribution has _ports_ of the software that is packaged, which uses the upstream source (of say, Firefox) plus patches to make it build and run on the distribution with the dependencies that it provides.

This approach substantially minimises the amount of build time required, the amount of storage required for packages and the amount of network consumed for distributing. It also makes security a lot easier, because all packages link to the system openssl, so in case of a security issue, only the openssl package needs to be updated (which is also a pretty small download compared to rebuilding everything that depends on it).

The modern model of "just put each thing it its own docker container with all its dependencies" is simple and works. It takes a lot less developer time to get things working, at the expense of essentially duplicating all dependencies for each package, making security a nightmare to follow, and rebuilding and distributing becomes a lot more expensive. But hey, if developer hours are expensive, maybe the cost of duplicating so much is smaller ir comparison.

A big problem nowadays is that many modern languages have evolved without consideration for users wanting multiple versions of a given dependency.

Let's look at Python for example. If you want to install a package, it goes into /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/$PACKAGE. Do you want two version of it? That's not possible. This is ultimately a language design issue.

Shared objects don't have this issue. For example, libssl3 on my system provides /usr/lib/libssl.so.3, but there's nothing preventing another package from providing /usr/lib/libssl.so.4 or /usr/lib/libssl.so.2, which means that I can concurrently install multiple versions of it. The same is true for libpng and a bunch of other tools.

Finally, I'll say that while NixOS and Flatpak provide novel approaches to solving these problems, they bring with them their own pile of complexity. However, I'm still thankful that someone develops these projects: what we learn through them will definitely help us continue iterating on how we distribute package in software in the future (although I honestly don't think either of those is the future).
Anyone who unironically says that they are going to improve/police/redefine ethics should be considered immediately suspect. It's a massive red flag if someone is thinking that their ethics are better than other's. Bonus red flag points if that comes from a corporation.

It is also very telling that a corporation called literally "human-first" is developing a tool to displace said humans completely. Now it is possible that it won't be able to do this, but the problem is that almost everyone including the creators believe that NNs will do it.
Super useful, thanks a lot! Do you happen to know what happens when a signed commit gets cherry-picked/rebased by someone else? I assume the signature would then be invalid. In the git documentation I see an option for these commands to sign or not the rebased/cherry-picked commit, but they don't say whether the now-invalid signature gets removed or not by default.

Haha, the speed at which you need to be able to get it to stop is a key parenting skill. Saying that 4 seconds into a Tom Cardy song as my son says "but I love this one".

Maybe this is why some people are so good at the intro round at pub quizzes, you've got a few seconds to identify the exact song that's playing and mentally run through the lyrics before making a call.
If you have any books or articles you like related to that, it'd be interesting to hear :-)

(Research by Google about psychological safety comes to my mind.)
Agreed, that's my personal plan for my own money.
This is needlessly pedantic and also wrong

Being 28 meters apart makes a maximum 93 nanoseconds difference in time between the light reaching each other

The article says "same millisecond", not "same moment". +/- 93 nanoseconds makes no real difference to the resulting image, the photos were likely thousands of nanoseconds apart

edit: not to mention photographs don't capture a precise moment in time but a window of time, in this case one of them captured 1ms of time and the other 0.625ms, and those windows overlapped almost entirely

Since nobody has mentioned: iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma brings family sharing to password managerm. Sonoma also brings support for using native passwordsl manager in Chrome using a chrome extension developed by Apple.

For families who are hooked into Apple's ecosystem, this can provide a much better password management than third party tools.
I really like Bitwarden, but I found it buggy in terms of user experience, and I'm now considering switching. Some annoying bugs I've experienced:

* Desktop app not focusing correctly when opening it

* Browser extension asking to save password even if it's already there

* Log-In suggestions not showing

* Slow and laggy on iOS

* Biometrics log-in breaks half of the times I try to use it

I like the fact it's open-source, although that doesn't make it more secure, and I don't think I would like to self-host.

1. You dont need a monad to do io in Haskell, you can do that directly. 2. Monad is a tool that offers a "grip" over io, ie your code still yields easily to formal proofs despite using io for example. 3. The sanity and insanity of controlled and uncontrolled io is imho the exact oposite of what you seem to imply.

> I don’t think I’ve ever used one. Maybe as a transient dependency, though.

The left-pad debacle proved that much of the ecosystem actually depends on such packages, at least indirectly.

> But, getting back to the original comment, what’s to say that one exported function isn’t supported by 100 more non-exported functions? Or, worse case, a 1000 line function that could be decomposed into smaller blocks.

I'm not sure what the point is here. Of course a huge module might only expose one public function. That's perfectly OK.

The context we were discussing was the question of whether an open-source project should be happy to accept a PR that only adds one (small) function to the project.

And the same question then extends to publishing that single small function as a separate module that others should add dependencies on, since that is essentially what TFA is arguing for.

But either way, the discussion was about modules that expose a small amount of (simple) functionality. And you're right, I'm saying "one line" as a proxy for that.

> Why would I invest in maintaining short lived code like that myself? My version manager would certainly tell me when things break.

I don't understand this part at all.

Perhaps what wasn't clear was what "ideal" I am proposing instead. My ideal is having a dependency tree that is both small (few direct dependencies) and flat (my direct dependencies should also have a small and flat dependency tree of their own). That necessarily gravitates towards fat modules that include lots of functionality under the maintenance of a single team. Of course, this also presupposes a package manager and build system that can efficiently ignore parts of those modules that are not being used in a particular program.
If you build normal railway line instead, you can run direct trains from many other towns and cities, in addition to metro/commuter-style fast connections from Orlando / Orlando Airport.

Boards of private companies or public companies with $168 billion market caps?

Private companies, sure. Boards of private companies often have an iron grip on shareholders and are often unaccountable. But the boards of public companies need to worry about shareholder activists, hostile takeovers, shareholder lawsuits. The margin of error to keep outright stupid, corrupt, nepotists is much smaller on large public company boards.
Not to mention that the NBN was already over budget and years behind schedule by the time the Liberals decided to switch to MTM. The whole thing was a disaster from the beginning.

The Artist's Oath:

AO0: I have used no AI

AO1: I have used AI in a research or teacher role

AO2: AI has been used for structural components, but not the art itself

AO3: AI has directly assisted in the creation process

AO4: AI generated this entirely from a prompt specifically engineered by a human

AO5: AI generated this entirely from a basic prompt

Slightly expanded thoughts and a few examples: https://cohan.dev/the-artist-oath/

The thinking is that once established creativity unions could specify at what level of AI they will accept, and for what compensation.

You could also stamp an [AO2] on the box/website as you would the content rating.

At the individual level as an artist you can specify the level you use for a work, and someone commissioning you could specify at what level of AI they'd accept.

The rating would be per-project, however the draft includes the addition of an asterisk [AO2*] indicates "and I've never used AI beyond this point in my art", and a + would indicate "however as soon as we reach sapience I welcome our new AI friends into the universe of creativity" :)

Would love to see what smarter people than I can come up with!

There is another problem--multi-level parking operators are banning EVs on the grounds of safety and weight.
There are health concerns with long-term exposure to glyphosate, but not by consumption of the end product. The stuff that gets sprayed with Roundup will get washed down and dairy doesn't contain glyphosate. Very few people actually come into contact with dangerous amounts of it, even over a long period of time.

I think governments know damn well that banning glyphosate, or even just marking it as dangerous, will threaten food supplies, while the stuff only endangers a select few people through long-time exposure. When it comes to food security, a few farmers getting sick and a collapsing ecosystem are a relatively small price to pay (from a government's perspective, at least). Plus, the farmers want to use this stuff anyway; safe alternatives are much less effective.

OTOH you can get a complete computer with a pentium 4 or core 2 duo / athlon64 complete with keyboard, mouse and sometimes even screen for free or pennies because people want to offload that big tower and a 19" screen they don't use anymore while a 80€ Raspberry Pi 4 doesn't get you anywhere.

Discounting storage[1], you'd have to buy a keyboard, mouse, screen and usb power supply and possibly a case to have a comparable raspberry PI 4[2]. I see PI 400 being sold at 130€ with a mouse these days.

[1] because you would also want to upgrade said vintage computer with an SSD anyway

[2] and in the second hand market raspberry pi 4 aren't going much cheaper, you just usually get an additionnal case and/or sdcard for the price of a single new board.

Just 3-years ago, the DVD business was generating $200M in revenue.

Today, it’s only $120m.

That means total revenues are down 66% in just 3-years.

You can’t fault Netflix for wanting to divest a business that is rapidly declining.

And that doesn’t even speak to the profitably of that business unit which is fair to assume to be losing money when you have such rapid revenue decline.

You will get people who decry bashisms that pollute the bourne shell. IMO they often make things safer so I want them - like [[ ]] which works so much more expectedly than [ ].

Shells are good at starting, stopping, backgrounding processes and piping, redirecting and substituting output that they make programming languages feel very clunky imo. Plus you can now almost expect bash to always be installed on a machine somewhere.

So? Tell them it's just in the mind.

> This won't feed the world

I'm tbh pretty sick of this sentence. The world could easily feed itself. The reason why half of Africa depends on grain donations and cheap grain from Ukraine and Russia is not climate change... it is because local farming can't compete in price with donations and Western excess, and due to utter incompetence and mismanagement. Simbabwe is the most dire example - it used to feed a lot of people, and then in the early '00s everything got wrecked by Mugabe.

Other countries have economic/criminal realities... say Afghanistan where it's more "productive" to plant poppy or Southern America with cocaine.
