"Good chance"? We used to do kernel module development directly on Pi3/4s at this one client of mine, and I would OOPS the kernel from time-to-time (couple of times a day on average in the beginning stages) and never had a loss that ext4 couldn't recover from (and as the Pis lacked a "reset" button, resets were done via power-cycling).

We used standard PNY/Samsung Micro-SDs, too (i.e., not industrial-grade varieties), but we did pick the faster-IO variants when possible.
That's so interesting, I never heard of this before, just started working on something just like this! Or at least, towards the same goal.

Here's my landing page with the pitch: https://www.getthinker.com/

> Whatever compression works on your int64s will work just as well on your UUID int128s.

That's not true in general; it depends on how the ints are distributed. UUIDs are, by design, distributed in a way that's pretty much maximally unfriendly to compression

Is dev actually in the UK? It doesn't seem like a great case to pursue across borders. Shall we also enforce Saudi Arabian modesty laws in the UK. How about Tin pot dictatorship laws against criticizing dictators?

It would have to start with an extraordinary effort by the UK to invest millions in getting a fellow and then the other nation being willing to set a terrible precedent to get the uk to fuck off.

Given the relative utility it would be easier to cut off the entire UK

True. I thought of Nell's questions and interactions with the Primer and realized I couldn't interrupt GPT or go back and forth, to your point.
The Serve The Home articles inspired me to go this route. I want to improve my understanding of Kubernetes for work. I picked up an HP EliteDesk 705 G4 mini desktop and an HP EliteDesk 800 G4 mini desktop. Each was less than $200, and included 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, HDMI and DP outputs, and a power brick. One from Amazon ("renewed") and one from eBay. My 705 came with a Ryzen 2400G, and the 800 came with a i5-8500. I'm not planning to stack them so I was happy with the 65W chips although it means keeping the top of the case clear for cooling. Serve The Home recommends the 35W chips if you are going to stack them.
Designing software? Sharing designs with team members? I'm not sure I see the value in that.
To be fair, in the 2019 case, the courts didn't have a chance to weigh in.

It is kind of curious the DoJ didn't pursue, but I assume most USAs are looking for a flawless record, so maybe didn't want to pursue it at this time.
It's strange that you don't think developers have this type of problem. We have to merge Slack threads, email threads, issue tickets, customer escalations, comments in the code, comments on code reviews, etc. and then pick the highest priority thing out of all of those.

Wouldn't the game limit that to 2-3 frames at most?

I'm pretty sure you can control the swap chain using DXGI:

Apologies, I failed to understand your point properly in my sibling reply. Yes, it's possible what you say is true (I somewhat doubt it, though; open to evidence, of course).

But the point I was making in my original reply to GGP is that it's no loss from an evolutionary perspective because the timeline is too short. I also doubt it's true from a civilization perspective, because again, the timeline is both too short and most people have never picked up a pencil.

Handwriting is likely a fetish. It's so easy to see benefits where there's actually only preference and bias.

As an aside: C++'s filesystem API is (very theoretically) largely unusable due to issues like these. Effectively, almost all of it is UB if even a single other process is doing writes on the filesystem you're accessing.

The problem is up-streaming kernel patches shouldn't be a Mobian thing or a pmOS thing, it should be an entire community working together for it (and IMHO, Pine64 should be leading the part to making a healthy community and contributing to it). For at least the OG Pinephone, that community has more or less dried up. Many of the original folks that wanted to help moved on to other devices (or just left the community as a whole. The situation for upstreaming kernel patches hasn't changed in years, and I honestly don't see that situation changing as is.

I would recommend reading for some background:

Also, frankly, when we get a response like this: https://mastodon.social/@CounterPillow/110589778080526844 from a Pine64 developer when we worked to port over the PineTab2 to Mobian, it really doesn't make me want to work with them.

I switched to Capture One a few years ago after the Lightroom subscription-only rug pull, and while it does import Lightroom catalogs... it's really only useful for catalogs of exported images.

RAW engines are as much art as they are science, and I quickly learned that it is not reasonable to expect one engine to simply read settings created in another engine and have the result be anywhere close to a drop-in replacement. I ended up migrating my Lightroom library over as JPEGs, starting fresh as I imported and developed new RAWs in Capture One.

Hm, it doesn't really say that to me. Wiktionary has:

1. (transitive) To express contempt for (laws, rules, etc.) by word or action.
2. (transitive, archaic) To scorn.

or as a noun ('a flout of work' say):

1. The act by which something is flouted; violation of a law.
2. A mockery or insult.

i.e. 'Flouttraditionalworkingprocesses' kind of says what you describe, but is obviously a terrible name. 'Flout work' to me sounds like it's the work itself that you're unhappy with. Maybe something around new/neo/nouveau/re-thinking would be better 'Neowork', 'Rethunk' (edit: 'Rework' is pretty good on a few levels IMO)? I don't mean to hate on it, just feeding back that it was a slightly odd first impression - Reddit's /r/antiwork sort of vibe.
> My argument here is "We don't know that this was created in a lab, and it's unreasonable to assume it was when we have evidence that it wasn't created in a lab."

Unless something major has changed, I don't believe we have firm evidence either way.

> Difficulty in obtaining evidence doesn't change the burden of proof from "proving a positive" to "disproving a negative".

When difficulty obtaining evidence has to do with geopolitics, rather than science, then yes it becomes very diferent. Because geopolitics, and people, you can convince, investigate, and hold accountable. Science and nature less so. That's why this is important.

Anyway, your entire purpose making your argument is to question the need for any investigation it seems. That is why it seemingly excuses the fact that we have not actually investigated the lab in any meaningful way. I don't believe this is acceptable.

In stead of a layer of management above the people manager the assistants also share an assistant.

With a small salary comes a rigid job description without free styling.

1-4 times per year you bring in a consultant/freelancer to read the reports (AI generated abstractions) and twiddle the knobs for however long it takes. Say 1-2 weeks with nothing but meetings. It should probably involve a hotel, resort or boat trip.

"we have started defunding the police in many major cities."

Is a statement so detached from reality I don't even know where to start. Which major US cities have had their police budget removed, or redirected in whole towards social services and rehabilitation?
yup! along the dimensions of feature velocity and developer experience with regard to cost.

of course python/ruby/javascript have succeed in bringing value to the world in general -- but in this thread we're focusing on production reliability, debugging, refactoring.

as we see, dropbox is proud to admit that they hired Mypy core developers and fund the project, but guess how much they spent on the mistake of using python?

twitter, famously an advocate for Ruby, spent an ungodly amount of engineering to work around ruby, hit a wall, and switched to JVM.

Just the fact that mypy and typescript exist and have exploded in adoption is proof that eng. teams very quickly hit a sand pit when using dynamic typed languages. Mypy being funded by dropbox, Typescript funded by microsoft, shows the level of investment needed to support these dynamic languages.
And of course, the police have no duty to protect individuals.

Appreciate your perspective. The idea that they do the exact same thing might be up for discussion. Trust me, if I were happy with what my OS provided, I definitely wouldn't have gone down this path to build this app. I feel that operating systems do a good job with desktop apps for the most part. The real challenge lies with web apps, tabs, and distraction-free workflows. The aim of my solution is to reduce friction and make it easier to use your web-based work tools.
Incorrect. While you might not understand the lower level systems, as long as you understand the logic of it you are good to go. Just plopping in code from ChatGPT or even Stack Overflow without vetting it is a dangerous game. You have to know what the code does before using it, or else the likelihood of introducing security vulnerabilities and bugs goes WAY up.
I wouldn't go too far down the "community support" thing with the RPi foundation. Careful if you say anything negative, even in a constructive tone, in case Liz shuts your threads down.

There are various reports of this from community refugees who switched to other platforms.

> society should incentivize denser development of more desirable land, by disincentivizing maintaining sparse development of it.

That is exactly what a land value tax does, in a negative way. It disincentivizes buying land in a desirable neighborhood and then doing nothing with it, waiting for prices to rise.

With capital value taxation (the other alternative), a person doing that pays less tax than someone providing buildings for people to live in or businesses to operate in. So they can do it for longer.

Because any buildings on the land are not taxed, construction is not disincentivized. Well, it wouldn't be, if permitting were not insane...

Once you reach a few fps, you can use other techniques to interpolate frames.
I think recognizing it's a different problem than billing and have it as a different entity is important. And of course that knowledge needs to be materialized into a technical block.

I never made any progress learning to drive, and I still can't write legibly without carefully considering every letter. These one to one things are not easy.

The pen acts like an untrained intern. It does exactly what you say and doesn't deviate from that. The computer acts as your manager. It tells you exactly what spot to hit to make a letter.

I'm not sure if this is pure crackpot armchair psychology, but my theory is that some people naturally think on multiple levels and understand things from first principles, and for them UIs are confusing because their brain tries to understand every single thing it sees.

I see "Press button, letter appears, hit the other button to comment" and if I think harder about it "HTML textinput in a form".

They see a lot more and are distracted my questions and don't just expect stuff to mostly work even if they don't know exactly what it does. Maybe at least subconsciously, they are bothered by stuff they don't fully understand.

Like, to me, a file is a "real" thing, with nothing below it that enters my thinking unless I'm reading an article about filesystems. If you tell me about a file, I will probably see file icons and explorer windows in my mind, that's what they look like and that's where they live.

Do people with a natural propensity for first order thinking get bothered at least a little bit by these abstractions? Do files feel less "real" to them? Is some part of them trying to figure out what's going on?

And if they are highly technical, is some part of them wondering what the code looks like, how the text is rendered, or maybe even feeling a sense of self disappointment for not deeply understanding what they're doing?

And is pure old fashioned boredom a factor? If I could see something in my head and then draw it in recognizable form, perhaps I wouldn't see the appeal of vector graphics, if I already knew what point on the paper mapped to what point of the picture in my head, maybe i wouldn't want the overhead of loading up the app to drag points around.

I'd just want to draw it in the right spot the first time, and get better every day at doing that.

And then there's spatial memory. If you have a good memory, the endless tweaks of modern UI probably bothers you. If you don't... Well... The new change isn't any more unfamiliar than the old one because you never deeply learned it!

Digital vs analog is such a completely different paradigm. Analog people are basically working with a blank canvas all the time. With digital you're constantly being led by the machine, and if your mind is overflowing with ideas that the programmer never intended, you might hate it.

If you don't have a deep understanding of how things work and what possibilities there are, you might adore having a framework where you only make small deviations in predefined ways, the possibilities are obvious, right in front of you.

We should probably all do more analog stuff, but a pen is definitely an "Outside the comfort zone" thing for me rather than something that feels like an obvious and natural way to work, aside from simple things we do every day.
