> There is nothing fundamentally wrong with multiple apps (as in separate pods/containers/processes) being developed in a single repo, as long as they are tightly coupled functionally, share the release cycle, but still need to be deployed separately to get advantages of separate processes and independent scaling.

If they're deployed separately, they don't share the release cycle. Sooner or later you'll end up with mismatched versions of them running (e.g. perhaps one piece fails to deploy). So you need to be prepared for that, so you want them in separate repos so you can easily test with different versions.

> This is incredibly hard to achieve in practice if you're not running something nix, and even then there are leaks of dependencies on kernel syscall APIs. Every Rust app implicitly depends on a glibc (except musl ones), which is present in major Linux distros except slim ones such as Alpine.

Most higher-level languages avoid depending on a specific glibc; as long as you have a working runtime for that language then your app will work with it. And sure in some cases you resort to docker or something. It can indeed be hard but that doesn't mean it's not worth doing.
And in my experience ties in nicely with the fact that when a dumb terminal glitched or lost sync with the server, control codes would start to litter the screen instead of being interpretted. You'd see things like:

…thsi typo^Ŵ^H^H…

start to appear, sometimes followed by several random letters hit in frustration, before the final hard-reset of the terminal and resignation to the fact some unsaved work has been lost.
Can it be called rationale really? Saying job ads aren't intellectually interesting is an argument against job ads. Not for blocking comments. It was a business decision obviously.

They _want_ that. But they rarely have that. I argue most if not all music artists in particular, are "fake" already, in the sense that, like you say, branding+marketing, and scripted stunts and controversies, etc. People are already fooled by this in today's age. I think there might be pushback, but I think in the end people will accept/be fooled by ai generated artists.

College admissions are broken, plain and simple. Completely opaque. Success criteria unclear, appears highly subjective, subject to gaming and monetary influence, officially biased against non-alumni & non-affiliated children. Simply F'ed up. I don't have any words for it. Schools or someone else have to clean up this mess.

My only hope is that people will see through how potentially useless college education is. For many people, it's simply an extended daycare if you need additional time to find your life's direction. Kids like this one don't need it. Kudos to him! Teaching models are largely broken. All you need is youtube and an internet connection these days. Structured post-K12 education is over-rated.
It is like restaurants they say their ingredients are "fresh". If you have to specifically call it out, there is something wrong.
That isn't the way I think - everyone is different and each person on the team brings something unique. Although it's good to have confidence, one person thinking they're better than others can be corrosive to team morale.

> For modern apps not using Wayland…. full gesture support, fractional scaling, etc doesn’t work. After fixing firefox, I noticed Slack was incredibly fuzzy…. it doesn’t use Wayland.

Every time I read stuff like this I feel like a bit of a outlier, because in all the years I've been using Slack, I've never used it as anything other than a web application (despite occasionally being pestered to download the Electron version).

I already have a perfectly good browser, what's the point of running another one (with potential compatibility issues) just for Slack?
This (or in my case the intel one) I find developing on Linux for Linux is better than developing on Mac for Linux (and yes I know you can install Linux on a Mac but the new M2 Linux stuff is all a bit too new for me)!

It's very much intentional. Beginners often try to adjust their aim while down, usually with poor results. Instructors will universally teach you to aim while standing, and get up and reset if things don't feel right when you get down.

I've taken lessons with several instructors including a former world #1 player (
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mika_Immonen). He would make me get up and try again if I made the tiniest aim adjustment when down.

The "aiming" state is in fact when you're standing.

Taxes don't pay for society though.

It's not like we raise taxes, use it to pay for society, and repeat. We decide to pay for it, do it, and maybe recoup some of the costs. That is why we have a deficit right?

Microsoft not paying $30B did not cause society to lose out on $30B.

That $30B got spent a long time ago. Now it will just sit contributing a little to the 11th digit of the national deficit.
If you think any of these will save you from the issues of cross platform development and platform specifics, in a different way from what is described by the post, you are wrong.

That wouldn’t work very well because pretty much every webcam has auto exposure adjustment. Also a camera is good at determining how much light is in the room behind you, not how much light is hitting the screen. There really is no substitute for a photodiode and a halfway decent control algorithm. It only costs a penny so there really is no excuse not to include one.
That’s nice as a pro feature, but completely undiscoverable for a regular user.
“Morons” is the right word. I don’t like to gratuitously shit on people doing their jobs. But what the hell?

Every time I start “New Teams,” it asks me if I want to go back to Old Teams. If I open a PDF in New Teams from the file browser, it’s not obvious how to close the PDF without losing your place in the file system. And on top of that, everything is grindingly slow.

A lot of people working at Microsoft/Apple/Google are bad their jobs and should feel bad.

Your country is banning books... I suggest learning a bit about other countries. The reality is freedom of speech is always a tradeoff in every country. There's always a line. The USA draws it inconsistently and erratically all the time.

I would never want to live in the USA. Don't get me wrong, I love your country. But a country that can just go on about the second amendment after the murder of school children isn't a place I would ever call home.
I'm sure it's negligible these days, but there's also the concern of an increased graphics load since you'll have to do an extra pass for the transparency. But I don't want to dive too far into the mindset of "everything must be optimized to the max".
>Most commentators view the licensing away from open source as a negative event. I’d like to argue that it is a milestone to celebrate. By licensing away the company signals that the product has achieved a mature state and that the help of an open source strategy is not needed any longer: The company has proved to the world that the software can be built and that the economy at large cares and thinks this software is a good idea. This is an important achievement!

Is "open source strategy" purely an economic tool? I though there was as much societal and political motivations involved as economic. Primarily isn't the idea of a healthy software commons a political move to avoid technological capture and rentseeking practices that hurt the economy overall. This authors framing the discussion are purely economical seems to miss why people might be upset. Where do the communities that grow up around and support open source projects fit in to this analysis.. Just people willing to give away their time and be instrumentalised to make make the product Mature enough to give a return to VCs?

I am honestly curious what the landscape is like on this issue. Should no-one ever contribute to an opensource project that is controlled by a VC backed company if they're not comfortable with the thought of a license change?
Are companies treating open source just like a strategy to build a "community" for instrumental reasons only to pull out the rug later going to end up poisoning the well and undermining any sense of good will and community spirit of developing tools to share together. Conversely all well being and prosperity comes from a paycheck, who is going to apply their skills and time to build software out of goodwill alone. Is the problem that large cloud infrastructure providers are now in a position to lock customers in and engage in rent seeking, and by integrating opensource projects into their service catalogue the take off the table one of the monetization strategies of companies that developed them, that is providing premium support.
This is great! Thank you :)

https://github.com/imcnaugh/InterviewNoteHelper

A small electron app that let me take notes while interviewing candidates and save the notes in a format. I used the rating system of chess moves (!!, !, !?, ?!, ?, ??) to mark down notable points of the interview and what i though of them. It even has a little keyboard i build with an ardunio to enter in the ratings subtly.

It was a fun project, I learned quite a bit about electron and software for embedded systems. But the hiring freezes hit and it took a bit of motivation from me as well.

Someday when things are better Ill boot it back up. and maybe even use it for interviews again.

Some of those things you mention are configurable at the windowing system level depending on your system. Using SwayWM with xdg-desktop-portal gives control of some of the things you mention, and with keystrokes and tiling so that there is never a need to grab windows by the edge, or almost ever use the mouse for that matter.

This. By now, I have set up and maintained enough installations of diverse open / hobbyist products (e.g. Debian, Raspberry Pi, Home Assistant, Mixxx, Jellybean, Nextcloud... ) to come to the conclusion that an unorganized, unmaintained, laissez-fair user community democrized potpourri of "knowledge bases" quickly becomes a huge issue.

It sucks to have to hunt around a multitude of issue trackers, wikis, discussion forums, mailing list archives, Gitlab pages, web sites etc. to find solutions.

Sometimes, it is comment #297 in some paginated forum thread that helped, as previous nonworking answers in the same thread related to another software release version, using and referencing a different setup implicitly referencing comment #246 a couple of pages before.
I absolutely agree. For at least 10 years now, my dream has been to essentially recreate the Windows 2000/XP UX as a Linux desktop environment.

That said, doing so would basically require creating everything from the ground up, because merely theming some existing toolkit and window manager to look like XP is not at all the point. And frankly, there HAVE been SOME useful UI/UX improvements in the past couple decades, like, FTA, minimaps. But can you imagine a much more conservative desktop, with highly integrated apps, based on the "good old days" of desktop design with just a touch of modern elements when they improve on things?

... Truth told, the closest thing in existence is probably SerenityOS... but it really would be more practical if there was a Linux desktop for this. Every so often I fantasize about how I might start such a project. It's been like that forever now.

Numerical ones don’t seem to exist outside of IT, but other fields do the same strategy of abbreviating common long words by keeping only a letter or two.

I'd say the UK is somewhere in between, with different types of white bread actually being different (e.g., baps vs rolls). My early encounters in the US were similar to my German colleague where much of the variation in bread was simply to shape (e.g., rolls vs sliced loaf) but it was ultimately the same flavour and texture. Obviously in both countries you can go looking and find a much broader array of options. It's just a stark contrast to experiences in many continental European countries where almost any store that sells bread seems to have white, sourdough, regular rye, dark rye, etc. and each variety is so vastly different in taste and texture.

I changed the setting for widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override from 1 to 50 and it increased size.

It's interesting to me how almost nobody uses the `<first letter><number of letters><last letter>` (i18n, a11y, etc) convention anymore.

I guess ubiquitous autocomplete has made that convention redundant.
I have my amd framework hooked up to a Lenovo 27" monitor over USB c and that daisy chained to another of the same monitor type over display link and it works like a champ: USB, video, Ethernet, and power all through the one cable.

Though it did NOT work out of the box to a display link USB A dock. I think it needs display link kernel module and I didn't want to bother.
I'm happy to help answer questions folks have on the product.

We (without intending to) ended up being among the first to ship a Ryzen 7040 U-series laptop, which means Linux support is early and depends on having the right kernel version. As others have noted in the comments, we were in a similar place when we were one of the earlier ones on both 12th Gen Intel Core and 13th Gen Intel Core, and both matured rapidly.

AMD continues to improve things with each release, and we've sent hardware to folks at Canonical for Ubuntu and Red Hat for Fedora to help speed along the process of having the out of the box experience with popular distros be smooth.

The comparison here is not apples to apples. While fine tuning is less costly with OpenAI, I'd argue that running inference using GPT3.5 vs a fine tuned model should be roughly the same. OpenAI is gouging you on inference, thereby being able to offer fine tuning at a seemingly reasonable price.

Also, it's important to note that fine tuning produces a vast amount of data about use cases where fine tuning is useful.
Is that new? I definitely didn't have to pay when I published an extension around november last year.
> It certainly doesn't say "use a logging library"

Right. It's not telling you anything about whether to use a library or not. All it's talking about is where you output your logging streams to, not about how you produce or format those streams. Is it bad advice because it doesn't tell you you should wear sunscreen when you go outside in summer?

(FWIW I haven't seen any logging library add enough value to be worthwhile. Eventually graduating to structured event logs is a good idea, but having started with a logging library doesn't actually get you any closer to that).
