I wonder if the end-game is a BSD, or some sort of hard fork of the Linux ecosystem.

Ubuntu and RedHat basically don’t work by any of my definitions of “work”.

They’re both enterprisey and bloated and flaky in all the ways Windows was in the 90’s, except they add flatpack/snap, letting each program be its own flaky OS install, compounding the problem. Want to save a file to ~? Read this 1000 page tome on the 21 successors to SEL first.

Anyway, my current heuristic is that if it defaults to systemd or wayland, then I don’t want to use it.

Debian was never the default for big sprawling corporations, so it’s not clear to me that just staying on the “suckless ethos” side of such an ecosystem fork would be that bad vs. Linux in its previous heyday.
Big disagree there - it exacerbates Asthma in sufferers, that alone makes it bad.

> how to list folder in linux

More realisticly you're searching for "list folder in linux $CAVEAT_A $CONTEXT_B" and all the results are useless because one of the key words are silently dropped for each ad filled auto-generated result.

Then you'll search for "how to A in B?" And all the results are how to do the opposite ("how to B in A"). Where both directions are logical but order means something different.
> also a package repository called `homebrew-core` to which the software connects by default

I think that's only true if one does an `export HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1` otherwise they default to their new JSON API: https://docs.brew.sh/Installation#default-tap-cloning

and is the only way if one needs to alter any core Formulae: https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#can-i-edit-formulae-myself (which, for clarity, Brew explicitly disavows)
Seems more like a rant where the author does not even show how he gets himself into the trouble is tries to describe.

Rebase, merge, and submodules being good examples. Show what you are trying to do and it becomes a whole lot easier to understand. Who uses rebase often anyways ?

Poorly written also imo.

Not the original commentor, but I'd say two things:

* Airport security got much more invasive post-9/11. For decades before that, people flew safely without these tight security measures. So, how much of the intensification is actually preventing another 9/11 versus just making us all feel like the government "did something"? I don't have an answer (genuinely I don't know :), but there are opinions all over the spectrum here.

* Even if we do accept that all the security steps are necessary and there isn't much we can change, we can still find it miserable and dehumanizing.

So, being able to travel by train, where security checks are either noninvasive or not even required, is a breath of fresh air. That's the point the commentor was making. They weren't proposing they could fix airports.

The Wright brothers were developing a major advance for humanity; I might take more risks for that. Also, their airplane was moving quite low and slow - much less risk than these boats, I would guess.

Finally, they were the engineers of their plane - they probably knew the risks well. Maybe that describes these watercraft pilots too.

Punishing Hamas is all well and good. However, Hamas didn't make 5000 missiles. By all accounts, those came from Iran.

The only way to win a war is to attack the enemy's logistics. Note that Iran is also supplying Russia with drones for their attack on Ukraine. Iran needs to lose a couple of munitions factories...
Sodium Ion batteries will be important too. Being about 35% the price per KWH of a Lithium Ion battery at similar density has opened the door to very inexpensive EV vehicles with 200+ mile range. BYD already has a range of them and the prices are incredible, slightly lower range than the Li-ion but also a lot cheaper.

Almost solid state batteries will give extra range for high end cars but the bulk of the cars I suspect will be Sodium Ion.

I also expect Sodium Ion will be big in home storage and solar systems and potentially grid storage too. The reduced price per KWH at similar sizes and densities as Li-pho combined with being impossible to set on fire will make them popular in a range of big battery uses.

Money is kind of important, though, at least to those of us who don't want to depend on a soup kitchen.

Look, money isn't everything. This isn't a video game, where the highest score wins, and you chase points just for points. But money lets you buy things, and some of those things are important - food for yourself and those who depend on you, shelter, healthcare. (But there's a bunch of stuff that money can buy that isn't important, and learning to let go of those things is really healthy.)

So: Money is important, because some of the stuff it can buy is important. That's not going to change any time soon.

The point of a gay bar is a homonormative space. And since gay people are outnumbered 20:1, and heteronormativity is the cultural constant, a place where gay is the norm is incredibly valuable.

There is so much anecdotal evidence around old habits but a high powered study, followed by more like it, can usually be relied upon.

>There isn't any real browser competition when the only difference is in what the UI around the actual web browser is.

I am not suggesting that people only make UI changes. I am suggesting that there is value in reusing work that already exists.

>The browser experience is what actually renders the web page, not the menu system around it.

Chromiums renderer is going to be fine for most people looking to build a browser. People building a browser should focus onan building what makes their browser unique. Not every browser is setting off to create a new rendel engine.

>We wouldn't need standards at all if everyone used the same browser engine.

There still would be a need for cross industry collaboration on how to move the web forward. If Clang was the only C++ compiler there still is a benefit on having the standards process and working groups figuring out how to evolve the language.

>Whoever owns the engine, likely Google, would make the engine however they choose and could change core fundamentals of how the web itself works.

This is a problem with browser marketshare and not browser engine marketshare.

>and if they were the only browser engine they could easily get away with closed sourcing chromium and only shipping binaries so the feature can't be disabled or removed.

Other browsers can work together on developing on top of the last public release of chromium. This is still less work than all of these browser developers independently creating their own browser engines.

A modern wood stove doesn't emit much smoke at all. It recirculates smoke through the combustion chamber (and/or through a catalyst) which causes secondary combustion. This greatly increases the energy efficiency of the stove and gives you a much cleaner burn. Not only are you not polluting your house with wood smoke particles but you aren't polluting your neighbours either!

Is this historically accurate? Most of my renaissance art history class memories involve artists kinda getting controlled by their patrons a lot of the time. Plus, the patron usually got to own/sell/commission works from them. Sure, some of it was at the time, it looked good for you to have artists in your keep, but it wasn't some sort of no-strings-attached benevolence, and the situation they put out no work for extended periods and still stayed on with their patron feels more like survivorship bias. How many middling royals were going through patronizing artists who didn't become a big deal and then dropping them?
Upgrading memory is great in theory (and practice for those who do) but I think for 95% of users this is not a consideration.
I'd say that bandwidth matters less than latency for performance. Both are good, but this is part of the reason why we see ever-increasing cache sizes, and memory physically closer to the CPU.

Edit: Of course, it depends on the benchmark. Latency is critical for programs that access many memory addresses randomly, not for data processing applications that scan memory linearly (and GPU use-cases often fall into that category).
You might say that but four hollywood script writers have already pulled together treatments:-)
I am extremely familiar with Erlang and its history. You are misunderstanding what "Thread Per Core" means.

Again, the fact that data moves across threads in Erlang means it is not TPC - period. Erlang is basically the exact opposite of a TPC system, it is practically its opposite because it is all about sharing data across actors, which can be on any thread.
Not that this diminishes the truth those words speak, but I’m very cautious not to deify people in this manner. Countless people have said and preached similar kinds of rhetoric at places of worship every week, and then go and lead a life contrary to their lessons.

With CPUs the bottleneck isn't just memory bandwidth only but also memory latency. If prefetch fails to get the correct data loaded into the cache, the CPU just stalls for thousands of cycles waiting for RAM to deliver the data.

If I'm correct, this is the difference between DDR RAM and GDDR RAM - the latter has higher bandwidth but also higher latency, which is great for graphics with its high bandwidth requirements and very predictable memory access patterns (except when you do ray tracing) which allows you to hide the latency, but you don't want to use GDDR for system RAM if you value performance.

The intuition is that low information investment returns are compensation for putting capital at risk. The capital must be at risk to collect the risk premium. You’re an insurance provider as much as an investor. When you are timing the market you are trying to collect in excess of the risk premium while having your capital at risk for less time. This can only work with an information asymmetry or luck.

pg_bm25/ParadeDB author here. What we're doing is building an opinionated alternative within PostgreSQL. If you are not using Postgres, or want your system to be separate, Elastic is still the best choice and will likely remain so.

Other people have brought up great points for why or why not to switch. Our vision for this is that ParadeDB is not merely "better" than Elastic, but rather different. Elastic will never be a PostgreSQL database, and we'll never be a NoSQL search engine. If you want one or the other, you'll pick either ParadeDB or Elastic.

I wonder how many of these are absolute benefits but not strictly needed to survive.

For example, allergy meds greatly improve my life on an ongoing basis, but I could do without them if I was willing to have messy sinuses and a headache on and off for a good part of the year. I was using over-the-counter meds but those stopped working and prescription ones do seem to work as replacements.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of the voluntary prescriptions have benefits that far outweigh their downsides.
I did the OBB overnight train from Vienna to Venice a few years ago. I did the baller move and bought the 4 person sleeper room for myself, that came with a bathroom / shower. So from a privacy and point to point travel it was great.

From the restfulness point of view, not so much. I am not a light sleeper but the train was noisy and jerky and the bed narrow with your body perpendicular to the direction of travel so it kinda sucked. Not really a "hotel on wheels" from that point of view.

There was no security to deal with, however on the train from Budapest to Vienna that I took the day prior was searched by armed police. Perhaps Vienna to Venice is a lesser destination for people the authorities want to screen out.

I don't have climate anxiety and I fly around a ton. On a 3-week euro tour where money wasn't really an object, it's totally worth it for the experience to do the night train. If time or money mattered then this would not have been the way I'd go.

As an aside, I've seen the train at best "break even" on time and experience. The Acella between Boston and NYC, and the Eurostar between Paris and London take longer than flying, even when factoring in the travel to the airport. If you want the uninterrupted train time to read or snooze then maybe it comes out ahead. Price wise the train is way less practical but with the company paying for my travel that's not an issue.

As Americans it's customary for us to genuflect to Europe for it's enlightened train connectivity and there are places where that works very well (eg Paris to Stroudsburg) but for cross-country travel it's not really that great.

"If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies." -- Jon Stewart
My guess is that works because the article loads a split second before the paywall and Safari (or whatever) has cached that article for reader view. If NYT wanted to get around this they could load only that first part of the article that shows before the paywall until someone signs in with a valid subscription.
Considering point #4: I am aware of a case locally where a nurse was accused of murdering a baby. Digging deeper we find: The nurses had been complaining of the low quality supplies that were being provided. Specifically mentioned were IV lines that were prone to breakage. The baby died from a failure of an IV line at just the wrong spot.

The hospital's expert witness supposedly said the line had been cut. Dig deeper: No, the witness was asked if the damage to the line was consistent with being cut. Yes, it was, but that doesn't mean it wasn't also consistent with simply breaking.

In the end it's pretty clear the hospital tried to throw the nurse under the bus to cover up the fact that it was their shoddy supplies that killed the baby. No idea on what sort of settlement the parents got, no details on what the nurse got but it was substantial.
Debian's policies also led to a heavily restricted version of RetroArch being available instead of the real version. Specifically, RetroArch has its own package management functionality built-in through its "Core Updater" feature, which downloads and installs emulators in the form of library files. This is banned by Debian because it sidesteps the whole package manager system.

Meanwhile, you can still build the full version of RetroArch from source code by installing the dependencies of Debian's source package, but building the original source code instead.

Strange, I just hate it.. I'm fine with loud parties, your loud stupid music, don't care how you run your garden, but nothing is more hatable than someone harassing me with smoke or other headache creating smells, and going for my health. I go into kind of half nature, to enjoy the fresh air, and then there is someone making a fire out of some mix of pure laziness, ignorance, unnecessity and pyromania, despite it being also illegal here.

I mean a good campfire is hot, doesn't produce much smoke, goes quick up and high, usually not that smelly, ok who needs it.. (though we even these are quite toxic, so please a reasonable romantic evening campfire, and not a 5 hour bonfire on a hot and sunny day?)
But unfortunately it is always not just that, but I need to smell a lot of carcinogenic smoke, green waste smell, or even worse plastic or other garbage smell, my cloyhes stink, my furniture stinks.. and we are also just past the time to just burn stuff.

This is not at all clear. In fact, unusually high returns may simply be a result of a string of lucky, possibly correlated, gambles.

It may very well be that what separates a skilled investor has just as much or more to do with the ability to restrict the downside. Meaning that even when they lose money, they consistently lose less than the amateurs.
