It’s a nice computer but calling it “repairable” is a farce, and System76’s customer support is unfortunately woefully inadequate.

I have one of these and spilled a drink on my keyboard, getting it replaced was $300 of parts and labor, but the worst thing was it took almost 2 months pressuring their support reps to actually complete the process and they would frequently just not respond to messages, or ignore information I provided or clarified.

Pop_OS! is really nice to be fair. I’ve also had issues with build quality. My Gazelle’s screen stopped working when the computer ran out of power and had a bent wire when I opened it up. Again they wanted hundreds of dollars to fix it, even though it was clearly a manufacturing defect. When they sent the computer back the chassis was cracked.
Couldn't you repurpose on-street car parking for trash containers? (I suppose Americans love their cars too much for that...)
I’ve been using the new model with Aider since it was released, and my anecdata agrees—the “edits applied successfully “ failure rate is much lower than classic gpt4.

Also THANK YOU for Aider! I talk it up to all my programmer friends; it really feels like a glimpse into the future of coding.

Your example phone is less than $100 and they can provide 4GB RAM in that price range.

MacBook Pro with 8GB is $1600. I guess your comment just proved parent comments point.
Hong Kong in the 60s-70s was a real shithole, NYC sounds a lot nicer. HK cleaned itself up, real nice. Our fave market was called "stinky's".
Thats a pretty sweeping statement for a self-described layman. But either way, got it, have a nice day.
I’m referring to the original comment in this thread, not the article.
They don’t actually exist. Same way a building full of PO Boxes doesn’t really create local jobs in the US.

Google would therefore employ the same number of people in Ireland with or without favorable tax treatment +/- the butterfly effect from any significant policy change.

Edit: Alphabet has workers in Ireland, but they also have workers in UK, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Norway, and Sweden. Ireland is mostly attractive for it’s educated workforce that speaks English fluently and is willing to work for cheap compared to CV wages, while also being inside the EU.
Please don't try to force your own personal preferences on everyone else in the entire world.

Why don't you buy a phone that has a user-replaceable battery, if that's what you want, and let me buy the phone I want to buy?
Actual professionals are going to be looking at the specs and what they need to do their profession, so if was named the MacBook Wussie Edition for Idiots and it was what they needed, they'd still buy it.
It's not weird, Ireland is part of the single market, that allows Apple to operate in the single market area from Ireland but the counter part is that there are a set of rules to avoid a race to the bottom in term of taxation. That's what this is about.

Given my experience with System76 laptops, I know they can make a good impression at first, but after seeing how flimsy they are in long-term use, I can't justify the markup. You can get a better sturdier laptop with good Linux compatibility cheaper elsewhere.
> Plenty of good stories have ambiguous endings.

But they still generally follow the pattern. Probably the most common "ambiguous" ending is where protagonist gets what the WANT (seems like a RISE) but not what they actually NEED (so it's actually a FALL). Or vice-versa, the don't get what they WANT (seems like a FALL), but they do get what they NEED (so actually a RISE).

So the "ambiguous" ending is not usually about not following RISE/FALL structure -- it's leaving you to argue about whether the RISE/FALL was good or bad. (E.g. he lost his Wall St job but gained a family, he conquered the mountain but his best friends died along the way.)
How do you propose verifying a users age without sacrificing privacy?

Even knowing their age at all is giving up some privacy.

If the market forces work as they’re supposed to (not a given anymore), then corporations that adopt better tech will see better profits through lower expenses. And then the laggards will have to adapt or die.

First, the OP was talking specifically about end-to-end encryption. Second, and related to the court case; the arrest happened because of a harassment complaint and the court quashed the complaint on the basis of insufficiently harassing to warrant prosecution. As far as the law was concerned, there was no case related to gender politics but solely harassment. To comment "arrested because of gender politics" is to misconstrue the court case.
On the other hand, it's a reminder of how car-brained we are. You can fit a dumpster in the space that a single SUV takes up, but even in NYC that driver's convenience is more important than a basic amenity like waste management.

But in this case it's not like that at all. They only saw the NAME of the problem. Like if I said "Page 23 of Mathbook Y, problem number 3". Which happens to be 6x6.
I think the salient point of the article was not to use the disable attribute and instead to use CSS to indicate a disabled state. As I understood the article, they were not against disabling the click per se, but against using the disabled attribute because of its effect on screen readers.

GP by contrast was suggesting allowing someone to press submit multiple times. These are not the same discussion as I see it. My response was more to address that, and was agnostic about whether the attribute or CSS disables the button.

As for using the disabled attribute, I agree with comments that it's not semantic to simulate `disabled` with CSS when we have a perfectly good disabled attribute, and it's the responsibility in this case of the screen readers to render this situation as it is meant to be understood. I'm open to reasonable disagreement here but I think the consensus is that the article is incorrect.

As for allowing multiple submissions, I think it's probably a good idea in general to program defensively against duplicate submissions and return a 409 when in doubt. But the user experience is improved by not allowing duplicate submissions on the front end for several reasons, among them that it's confusing. A POST is not idempotent, but allowing multiple submissions treats it that way.
UBI is utopia regardless of AGI or any tech innovation.

Scarce resources is another myth. Resources are created by people’s cooperation, not destroyed by people fighting for them. (Think how scarces resources we 2000 years ago, and yet here we are, using new resources that those people couldn’t even imagine).

And if majority of people will keep believing in such myths - no need to wait for AGI, economy has already changed. To the economy of ignorance.
In my opinion, if you have the money, a Razer or Asus laptop is the highest quality machine that you can get to run Linux. Of course there is also Framework, but those are not as well built in my opinion.
Personally, I have the new Blade 14 and it is great. Large trackpad, 16:10, 6 hours of battery life (pretty good for linux) and an RTX 4070. That said, it is absurdly expensive.

‘A major’

Appreciate you stepping out to engage in this. I’m going to answer this in support of the perspective you’re speaking from.

There is advice available from people who haven’t always been healthy and fit, but are now.

Should someone seeking diet/fitness advice take it from someone who hasn’t become and remained reasonably fit or diet?

One thing for me I strive towards is remembering building discipline is one of the key if not the master habit that unlocks so many other ones. For me a responsible mindset empowers, and a victim or blame mindset disempowers and I try not to forget it.

Longevity whether I like it or not is based on two things, a bit (not a lot) of regular exercise where uninterrupted walking over 60-90 minutes is amazing, and reducing the amount of processed food and step by step making sure the diet is one that best suits each individuals body. Reducing a harmful activity is a great start instead of making big leaps.

I have folks with weight and health problems in my life.

It’s easier sometimes to think it’s easy for people who have it done, but not know their story

Starting and keeping going 1% better every day is the way and something everyone can learn to do relative to themselves as long as they don’t compare, and don’t stop. Intermittent fasting (starting with a smaller window and increasing it by 5 minutes every day than normal can be very helpful).
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what that means. I'm new to language design. I can describe what I'm trying to do.

I'm creating a UI description language for designers. The goal is to let them use terminology and mental models familiar to them to describe their designs in code, instead of a visual tool like Figma.

A trivial example would look something like this:

component Button {
elements
shape btn-container
text btn-label

style btn-container
fill-color: blue

style btn-label
content: Click Me
text-color: white
}

The output of the language would be an intermediate representation, I'm imagining a JSON object or something with a very specific schema. This can then be transpiled into any format the developer wants - you could build a transpilation target for React, Vue, Svelte, plain old html/css, etc etc.

So I'm in a weird spot where I know what I want to make, but I don't know any of the conventions or tools common in the language design world, because I'm just stepping into it.
It is part of the "deal" for companies in Ireland to get access to the rest of the EU. This access is the reason why Apple etc shuffle their profits through Ireland in the first place.

The "it" in this case is that every company should be treated the same. So basically no sweetheart deals allowed. And now there is a fight in the courts if there is/was a special deal in place for Apple or not.
Blues itself as a genre is similar. A lot of what became known as alternative music was defined by a related sense of pathos, where a lot of it was about indulging and wallowing. Pop music is like an opposite of comedy because comedy is about the unexpected, where pop is about simple satisfaction. When we say "pathetic," it's usually a shorthand for disgust, but a lot of beauty in the world is evocatively pathetic by virtue of its fragility or temporariness. In a more generalized sense, comedy and humour are a pathetic way of relating, and it's not a criticism so much as a way of emphasizing we should develop a better understanding of pathos, as forgiving or having compassion for it by recognizing it for what it is seems like it could relieve a lot of suffering.

> How much did the first model cheat, and how much did the second? If the second model "cheats" less, then it wins.

They both cheated 100%. Because they both never saw the problem. AT ALL. They just saw the title and the name of the website.
This is true and also a simplification: NYC required steel trashcans for street pickup for decades, until getting rid of them for performance reasons (I believe the argument was that they made garbage pickup slower).

The city is now bringing back the trashcan requirement, but plastic this time. It remains to be seen how effective that will be (since rats will happily chew through heavy plastic to get to food).

Edit: I realized that I've also simplified: the new can requirement is for commercial pickups only. That's the majority of rat-inducing foot waste, but it's still just a partial solution.
> Among other things, this means that modern forms of suspend work out of the box

That sounds very promising. That has always been a major annoyance to me. I don't think i have every owned a laptop with linux where I actually trusted that it would still have battery the day after if I just closed the lid.

> the government is perfectly able to identify a individual person from its interconnected databases

Being somewhat familiar with how this plays out in the NHS, all I can say to this is: that would be very nice. And that's with a system that has an ID number which is legislated to be the primary personal identifier.

Substantially all touch points with the NHS that don't flow through NHS Login require the NHS Number plus two other bits of demographic information, specifically because the interconnected databases can't be relied on to have either one number per person (for which there are valid reasons, but never more than one active), or one person per number (for which some DBA somewhere needs to answer for their crimes against relational consistency).

There is a non-trivial number of medical procedures (some remarkably serious) which are performed on the wrong person every year because they were mis-identified at check-in, or later. Solving this is not as easy as you would think.
I assume they were referring to the motorway.

The first time I visited NYC was for a job interview. I wanted to live in an urban, walkable city with plenty of cultural and business opportunities. The trash situation was a primary factor in me choosing another city and another job.

I get that many many people in NYC don't see this as an issue, or don't see this as a solvable problem. As an outsider it is absolutely disgusting, and forever lowered my opinion of the city.
There’s a lot to unpack in the word “scene”. Every scene itself is either a needed part of a story, or a story in and of itself, except that the meaning relies on the context of the whole work.

I agree, but the complaint is about aspect ratio, or more specifically about the wasted space / unnecessarily smaller screen within the chassis.

Similar to op, I won't buy a 16:9 laptop anymore. It can be 1920x1200, though, that's still sufficient for smaller laptops.
Regarding the Maastricht Treaty: Mind that there had been also a plan for a social union as a flanking policy to appease the left, which has never become a reality. Maastricht had been perceived as a major intervention in favour of a more neoliberal course – and I wouldn't call this exactly a smoking gun for any Marxist influences.
> Also, in most cases for scientific computing, Mac users are using stuff like Remote SSH in VSCode to work directly on hardware that is running the code, which is pretty much always Linux.

This might be true for extremely demanding tasks that need to run on a cluster or cloud but a surprisingly large amount of scientific computing is perfectly manageable (indeed much easier to manage) on a laptop, if there are compatible toolchains for the OS.

That said, I would not be dissatisfied with a world in which Linux was the OS of choice for nearly everyone. Fully agree it would be great if research software developers could focus on the domain, distributions take a wildly disproportionate amount of effort

I've created a few DSL's and I've regretted not closely emulating an existing language that users already know.

When creating a new DSL you should find the language that is most familiar to your users. That could be Python, Javascript, or SQL. There is a good chance though that it is spreadsheet formulas.

Whatever that language, align capabilities you add to your DSL with the syntax and function naming of that language only diverging where needed to add the custom capabilities which motivated the DSL.

The closer you align with what your users already know, the more easily they will be able to adopt it. An added benefit of this that emerged in the past year is GPT's will be able to write your DSL with less prompting.
It's not "cheeky" to say what you're doing and why you're doing it, and what you think is wrong with other approaches. Don't apologize.
While people are free to contest my governments strategy regarding attracting companies with a low corporation tax rate. Claiming that we are producing "pretend jobs" doesn't ring true. Do you have any examples of this?

The effective tax rate (as opposed to the by the book tax rate) in Ireland isn't that out of kilter with the rest of Europe [0]. It still is the lowest but it does bookend the other countries quite tightly.

> I can see that the scientific method works well in producing knowledge.

In domains where it is suitable/adequate (be mindful of ambiguous, potentially misinformative language when engaged in study and communication, lest other humans pick up the bad habit and humanity becomes confused).

>Because we can do something with it. Like fly to the moon, cure diseases, build nuclear weapons.

Philosophy can be used to have interesting conversations, at least.

>Philosophy however claims usually to also find knowledge. There are several methods, but none of them seems to have any evidence of working in any other circumstances than everyday heuristics.

Things are not always what they seem, because seems itself is a heuristic.

>On the contrary, the lack of convergence in opinion seems to indicate that they do not work well.

It could also suggest that the entirety of reality isn't deterministic like the physical realm (which is mostly only what science studies, and most people have the impression that science studies everything (they even have a Theory of "Everything"!)).

>I agree that philosophy is nice to have, a playground for ideas, a collection of possibilities of systems of concepts. But I fail to see what points to it being a source of knowledge.

I would say that via philosophy, one could develop a proposition that science uses the planet as its playground. For example: without science, could we have achieved this level of global warming?

>It's one thing to state "These systems are possible", and another to state "this system is the real one", specifically in ethics.

I've encountered many thousands of people who claim with extreme certainty that science is essentially or even literally the only game in town when it comes to the acquisition of knowledge.

Spadina Chinatown has always been notorious for that. Back in the 90s, it was intolerable on garbage days even when there was no strike. Lots of expired seafood in bags out on the sidewalk etc.

Oh don't get me started on title insurance in Texas! It gets prorated depending on the last time you purchased or refinanced the property, but it has to be renewed every 7 years! Mind you 7 years ago they checked and verified it was good, so why do I need to renew when we know there are no issues with the title? If you notice, most title offices are very nice, beautiful buildings, fancy furniture and furnishings. That is what you are paying for!

Figure out your criteria for failure, and what to do in response to it, in advance.

Some of the people you hire are going to be bad. Maybe they'll just be generically middling, maybe they'll be outright incompetent, maybe they'll misallocate resources and cost you thousands, maybe they'll outright steal from you. Maybe they'll just turn out to be a bad person.

Even if you don't know how to do sales, what benefit do you expect to gain from hiring someone to do it? How long will you wait to see those benefits? What will you do if those expectations aren't met? If you have to fire someone, under what conditions will you provide what sort of severance?

The most important part of any contract is how to break it.
