If Adobe or Serif announced Linux support, I’d switch in a heartbeat. I was about to add DaVinci Resolve to that list, but they actually released official Linux support, so I can cross some video editing off my list. And one presumes all web-based tools such as Figma also work well on Linux these days, so… the list of tools that aren’t Linux compatible might be vanishingly small now. But not zero, sadly.
Seriously, what would YOU do if you were falsely accused of crimes and it destroyed your ability to work? I made law, with no legal training, and this means that some people who are falsely accused of crimes that are published for the world to see can get it removed. I have been contacted by a lot of people who have been able to get abusive and defamatory content written by ex-partners, for example, removed because of my legal precedent.

I would rather stand up for something than be a judgemental asshole!
Ideally, companies would evaluate what answers ChatGPT is capable of and/or give tests which contain enough space for creativity that they'd be hard to pass this way. (Ask people to show off their knowledge of some domain without explicit instructions) If you get old style tests, they just haven't caught up to what's happening yet. Hopefully they'll realise after a few second stage interviews and change it.
Using WinUI is really easy to do. Whether you're using WinUI 2.8 with UWP or WinUI 3. So native GUI development isn't difficult at all. XAML is similar to HTML in a lot of ways.
If you have your mind set on web development and want a native GUI, you could go with React Native for Windows.
> I'm very curious to hear from someone who likes DI in a non-OOP language - why?

The alternative to DI is keeping dependencies in a global state (global variables, singletons, whatever) and that is a maintainability nightmare for any codebase above a certain size.
I don't think that it matters if the language is OOP or not, the issue is the same.
What biases? Are you saying you expected Waymo to be better than Cruise?
>We have the ability to do more testing and training.

This claim gets made a lot but, while I'm not sure how you would test this, I'm not really convinced that an expensive driving school and more rigorous driving test moves the needle much relative to just a lot of hours on the road and perhaps becoming more mature with age. My recollection is that my driving almost certainly approved with a year or two of driving after I got my license; you're not going to replicate that amount of driving with training/testing.
Thanks! Nitter doesn't seem to go to the right post though.

https://twitter.com/IanCutress/status/1716902706621866487 takes you to the specific slide, but https://nitter.net/IanCutress/status/1716902706621866487 takes you to the top of the thread.

Or in the case of HN: technology, which leads to a lot of products for and by developers, or a solution looking for a problem to solve.
Yeah, but is never that cut and dried.

Suppose there are two airlines. Statistics on them state that first one has a crash every 100,000 flights, the other every one million. You need four tickets, and four again for the way back.

How much are you willing to spend more per ticket? $10? $50? $100? $1,000?
> mmWave network deployment is always going to be sparse and in places with lots of handsets, they don't all need to be on mmWave, those that are free up other spectrum for other phones, so everyone gets improved service.

I understand but obviously those on mmWave are getting a really great performance as this is the one area where 5G really provides a major improvement (due to the massive available bandwidth at those frequencies).

What bothers me is that as a European I pay the same for my flagship phone (sometimes even more as Samsung offers high discounts in the US in an attempt to take marketshare from Apple - here in Europe they are already #1) but I miss out on this feature. And often others as well, most of the time European Samsung phones get the far inferior Exynos chipsets whereas US phones get Snapdragon. Especially in heat and battery life these are a great improvement.

And it's not just Samsung. Apple does the same, which means there is almost no incentive for providers to ever start deploying mmWave in these busy areas.
Twitter/X is/was the biggest ever platform for public organisation. Unionisation, protests, independent journalism, all things that an authoritarian like Musk and his Saudi backers would very much like to crush. what's $30bn to a man with $260bn? if I was that rich, you can be damn sure there'd be businesses I'd be buying and deliberately running into the ground
We just setup a discord! https://discord.gg/seGGxSUgzM
Can someone summarize the video? That was my first thought as well: crash data for humans is clearly underreported. For example, police don't always write reports or human drivers agree to keep it off the books.
> it is going out of its way to harm people

I'm having a very hard time buying this. I may be wrong but I'd assume that Meta is audited and well-regulated. Besides, the company is very transparent. I know a bunch of people working there and they don't strike me as people who would purposely harm people. Besides, every employee has access to the whole code base and freely talk about what they work on. I don't believe in some conspiracy.

That being said, it's perfectly reasonable that we keep these companies under the microscope given the power they have, and they may be making mistakes.

> Is open decentralized social media doing this?

Arguably, decentralized social media without moderation would be more harmful than Facebook/Instagram.
Probably because the new outlook can only access microsoft servers, so they synchronise icloud to outlook server-side and you only access outlook client-side.
Cruise and Waymo are the only two fully automated services I encounter. There might be others in other cities, but I can't comment.

I have all sorts of thoughts on the quality of driver assist from various manufacturers, but that's out of scope here and better material if I ever do Youtube.
It's not like each person has a unique lawyer - One lawyer serves many clients. Especially since most people will only need legal help occasionally.

But yes I do agree, it's probably a minority of people that regularly use a specific lawyer.
I would never let my family ride in a Cruise (and have never).

Waymo's are far, far better. I ride one every day, and trust them more than I trust 99% of Uber/Lyft drivers.
> The only way that a Linux phone could be economically viable is if it's rock solid and performs well

This is where we disagree. Generally, this is not true, as proven by Pine64 business model. Of course the Librem 5's price is much higher, but it offers more features that could be useful to many: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Freque...
That takes a really really long time in a high cost of living city. It is essentially a mortgage.

The fact you don't need import statements to use code
across a Rails app feels like a blessing at the start,
but as the codebase grows, it can become a nightmare
trying to figure out where something is defined or
how something has been altered

Are you willing to share examples?

I was a Rails developer for a long time and it certainly has its pitfalls. But I don't feel that this was one of them and I certainly don't think that explicit imports would solve this problem for you.

Do you have a bunch of global variables (or external data stores like Redis caches etc) being modified by only-God-knows-what? I don't know how explicit imports would solve that. I'm not sure how "import Foo" versus "Foo=42" is going to help you, unless perhaps if you've given your global thing an identifier that is impossible to grep for.

You can also have the behavior you want in Rails, anyway! You have full control over autoloads! Put your code in a non-autoloaded folder. Boom, now you have to explicitly `require` it before using it.

The lack of typing leads to way more maintenance - I
have Rails apps that are years old and I still get
regular error notifications (method doesn't exist on
nil is a particularly common one)

Static typing isn't your answer.

Unexpected nils/nulls/whatever are a runtime error, and are almost always caused by some external resource (typically, the results of a database query or maybe an external API call) being unexpectedly nil, coupled with a sloppy lack of proper exception handling.

I don't care how iron-clad your language's type system is, it won't magically help you handle unexpected external runtime data or make up for a lack of exception handling and/or testing.
You can generate low-res image faster / first and selectively generate hi-res ones for longer time.

I agree, I’m very fond of Orkney. I’ve been several times on short breaks. Skara Brae is both smaller than you think it should be (studied it in primary school) and more impressive (over 5000 years old). A very peaceful place with great archeology, landscapes and seabirds (got really close to puffins on the last trip) but it is always windy.
My experience has been that they are roughly equivalent in most cases. Sometimes they're slightly cheaper, multi-stop routes they tend to be a lot cheaper.

If you tip in Uber/Lyft, Waymo is always more price competitive.
I would love something like an M2 steam deck, and if what the presentation it's true I could see it happening. I wonder if this chip has hardware acceleration to translate x86/amd64 to ARM instructions, and what the performance cost is if that's the case.
redbean wins! impressive!!
Is it just me or is Windows phone looked back on with really heavy nostalgia? I never found it to be revolutionary or beautiful, and while I would welcome more players in the mobile space, I think Microsoft's behavior in every other part of its business makes me glad that their foray into mobile never took off.
Why does Microsoft even bother with a desktop OS these days? They have moved on to The Cloud like everyone else, so people can buy Word and not their OS.

All Windows really has is a long tail of legacy apps (many of which are very good, and people don't want to give up) and games, and that has to look like a dying business model. (Unfortunately, games are pretty sticky, because they own a game console, and everyone wants access to the console. So if Microsoft says "if you port your game to Linux, you can't be on Xbox", Windows is on indefinite life support.)
It depends on your perspective, but Facebook, Apple and Amazon all solved a very specific problem. Facebook helped you connect to young people at your school (and eventually beyond). Apple made it accessible to get into home computers in the 70s without soldering your own breadboard or spending a ton. Amazon let you buy books without leaving the house, at a deep discount. Those are all solutions, but you can find the problems by inverting them.
I'm getting worried about the retainer I wear at night to prevent teeth clenching related problems. It's old and starting to decay.. time for a new one but what's worse? grinding my teeth at night or slowly degrading this plastic retainer and ingesting the wee bits?
Agreeing to a search as part of access to a nonessential service is quite different from being extorted with the thread of criminal proceedings if you don't allow them to violate your rights.
Yes, the mainstream models of economics do not correctly represent those and offer the wrong solutions, I have little hope of the charade ending any time soon.
I wonder if the eventual plan is to make Windows free for "home" users, and monetize it through ads. In that world, ads in every corner of the OS would be less annoying.
This seems to be the description of SSH keys capabilities except the user does not control them. Why did they not just use SSH keys? They are much more familiar, and all major bugs are already squashed for years.
Figma works perfectly on Linux¹. If you don't believe me, let's privately talk.

E-Mail me at glitch@qygge.com, if you like.

¹ our (sub-orga-wide) UX crew uses MacOS, almost all Devs use Linux, and both of them use Figma
we don't have to couple exercise with transport. We don't say planes are bad because it reduces the number of cross country hiking trips people take.

On filling a bus, I think its a fundamental shortcoming of having fixed routes that they'll never be as efficient as point to point transport, especially electrified transport. i'm not really making a political argument.
I installed Pop on a new PC (intel, nvidia) a couple of months ago. It's been barely more trouble than Windows and gaming so far has been successful (Cyberpunk, BG3).

(Tried Linux on the desktop every year for the previous 20-something, always hit some deal-breaker within a day or so. This time it's looking good.)
Never trust a law named after a child.

According to the very article being discussed no, they are not.
We also don’t allow children to drive cars, so the analogy is DOA

This sounds like the definition of clueless. Note to OP, not looking to insult you, just that deaths are pretty significant events and deserve notice.
It's funny because you are saying they are STARTING with an insanely bad dark pattern and you're ok with it - where to next?
Microsoft seem to be the worst of all the big companies that is surviving just because of extremely hard to dislodge monopolies. Consumer products come with windows, and enterprises opt for windows due to lock in. Office is so entrenched that most companies have little choice but to buy it. And Windows seems to be adding the shittiest features of almost any modern operating system. I use https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 for disabling windows telemetry and the amount of flags for data tracking is insane.

M$FT have used the Office monopoly to push teams and AD to push Azure, both of which are subpar products. It is hard to find one good product they have made in the last 20 years (and yes VSCode is not it).
> supports mass surveillance and is willing to give up on democracy "against child abuse"

> supports whoever does war everywhere around the world, by selling weapons to one side, gas to the other side, or saying some side is just defending themselves and should continue to do whatever

We have two conclusions two this :

EU supports children*

*unless they come from Yemen, Gaza, Ukraine, or are somehow on the Mediterranean Sea (then they're on their own. If they die, that would do fewer migrants)

And EU is scanning that you have compliant views on the world events.

I can totally see that if you're not a journalist who documents war abuses, and if children were involved in these, you'll have evidence of "child abuse" and you're going to get reported.

Sorry to get political for once. But we have never ever done a single thing for children (EU was just a business club, nothing more):

They let known paedophiles continue to work in schools, they just change their jobs.

Some "mandatory" sexual education was defined at the European level. It was aimed to teach children about themselves, and how to recognize, refuse, and report abuse within their families. But it's often just skipped in schools because "budgets" and "planning".

And unless your local government (usually the city) pays for activities and clubs for children, they're just left to grow on their own : if they're in a city with drugs, they're usually raised by the cartels. EU won't set up activities.

But if it's about scanning everyone's phone, then they say they need to act for the children.
they might trim some infrequently used features but I can't see them completely killing Google Cloud- not only does it make money (the only real money other than ads), the reputational hit would be immense. Imagine telling thousands of enterprises they have to move petabytes to a competitor.
Depends if your partner strangles you or not.

I saw a Waymo come to a screeching halt in a split second as a... less than intelligent individual... skateboarded in front of a bus, into the extremely busy road.

If it was a human that person would have been dead, no question.

Sometimes I'm riding in a Waymo (which I do every single day, 4x) and it does something, and I double take. Then a second later I see whatever it was it reacted to, and I'm like "dang, why did I doubt you, robotic overload?"

The best part is that it works the same way in the day time vs the night time.

Magic.

No, you only have "Optimised Charging" on your older phone. As described in the article parent linked to, 'Optimised Charing' aims to charge your phone to 80% overnight, and then ~1 hour before you wake up, fully charge it.

The iPhone 15 has an additional option that caps the charge to 80%. It never does that final top up before you wake up.

> With iPhone 15 models, to choose between Optimized Battery Charging, 80% Limit, and None, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging > Charging Optimization and choose an option.
Pedophilia is being attracted to persons under the age of 13, which isn't legal anywhere in Europe

It is in the Middle East, but their (Islamic) culture doesn't consider it as pedophilia, and (some) men in their 20s and 30s get married to young girls of around that age
Based on this recent-ish YT [1] video Waymo is also crap, just as Cruise is, as any car that stops at a green light, on the left-lane, is a danger to all the other drivers it shares the road with.

Any tool that is useful, is useful for both good and bad purposes.

Any tool that is rendered not useful for bad purposes, has also been rendered not useful for good purposes.

There is no such thing as a compromise. It requires pretending (or ignorance) to imagine that there is even any sort of compromise logically or physically possible.
This is armchair analytics so take me with a grain of salt, but:

- server/cloud computing is largely all about performance per watt

- the latest couple gens intel seem to be struggling to innovate and are just getting better benchmarks by cranking up the power consumption. even AMD's latest release is along the lines of "x% faster per core, XX% more power draw".

So I wonder if this is percolating out into the server/cloud space where people are just watching the chipmakers trade off efficiency for benchmarks and are unimpressed.
In September, the rides I took in Cruise required walking farther than multiple bus stops.
bit of an anecdote on testing the Kinect. I was working in the Office devision at the time it launched and managed to (some how) get into the beta test team. They sent me one, originally with the plan of wanting it back, but in the end they said we could keep it. I still have mine somewhere with the Microsoft Asset tag on it... Anyway, after the first couple of weeks, testers got a general email about testing the device. "Please wear clothes when testing the Kinect".
Anyway, on what i think it could have been, Cortana on the Xbox with a Kinect and the video features would have been perfect for a lot of things. The vision stuff for games is good, but think watching for fall detection of people in rooms, if you are out and it sees movement (given it could turn to an extent) and the ability to tell it to call someone on Skype with video! That would have been useful in 2020! It was just way too early, like a LOT of Microsoft stuff (Pocket PC, Windows Smart Phone (CE editions), Windows Phone (NT Kernel), Microsoft Tablets (XP) etc. All just a little ahead of the time...
I should have included an /s but yes, nutrition is one of many things.
great story - thanks for sharing!
Yeah because how can they unethically push you to use Edge if you're not running a Windows OS. And think of all the telemetry they aren't gathering because they don't have Windows on phones. Terrible thing.
A respectful culture is needed for public transit to properly function, and the Bay Area doesn’t have that.

Some behaviors I’ve seen on public transit in the Bay Area: loud music, dumping beer and food on the floor, clipping toenails, smoking, jumping up and down on seats, drug deal, fighting, hitting the driver, attacking the bus with a machete. All in the past year. Granted I take transit more than most.

And people are generally afraid to speak out against bad behavior because you never know when someone has a knife/gun and is mentally unstable.

So I don’t think it’s just a frequency/headway problem. I wish it was better, but I also understand why many people are decide they’d prefer a private car.
To paraphrase the GP - Well, tough luck. [This] is YOUR problem, not MINE.

If they ran their app store the way they run the Microsoft Store now then they would have had tons of apps. Developers being able to self-host their apps and list it in the store would have seriously helped the app gap.

I did puppy linux on a flash drive for a while, then jumped straight to Arch.

Recently I switched to Ubuntu because I’d switched to a laptop, and I thought it would handle things more nicely for me. I regret it. It does too much.

I’d recommend the first two steps I took, though.
It boggles the mind doesn't it? Since I think the 70's in the US it has been a DOT requirement for motorcycle lights to be always on when the engine is running.

I find it remarkable that we haven't done so with cars as well. It seems like a win-win-win? Automakers (and service centers) get more money replacing more headlights, the public gets safer roads, and politicians get an easy win.

Why would they do that? OEMs already pay for it via agreements and at this point Windows seems to make no effort to do anything if the copy is not activated, so M$FT doesn't care about the few people not paying. Making it free would make no differnece other than killing a revenue source for no benefit. So it is very unlikely to happen.
For me, the answer is "because native mail clients are so much snappier and responsive".

As well as being able to choose my client based on the interface I prefer, rather than whatever UI the webmail provider decides to give me. And my mail client is also always open. And it uses less memory than a typical browser tab.
