I was thinking along the lines of alcohol control laws which limit licensing, distribution, sales, etc. Those groups with preferential treatment have become special interest groups in many places that want to perpetuate those limits because it prevents competitors. Somewhere around a quarter of states have mandated some form of monopoly in regards to alcohol, and others have limited licensing schemes that are highly politicized.

The Big Pineapple Pesticide Problem
Mechanism behind aspirin protective effect against colorectal cancer identified
"Colorectal cancer (bowel cancer) is the third most common form of cancer worldwide, with around 1.9 million newly diagnosed cases and 900,000 deaths every year. Therefore, preventive substances represent an urgent clinical need. Aspirin/acetylsalicylic acid has proven to be one of the most promising candidates for the prevention of colorectal cancer. Among other findings, studies have shown that when patients with cardiovascular diseases took low doses of aspirin over several years, it reduced their risk of colorectal cancer. Furthermore, aspirin can inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer. Now a team led by Heiko Hermeking, Professor of Experimental and Molecular Pathology at LMU, has investigated which molecular mechanisms mediate these effects."
Bringing CI/CD mindset to cars is probably not a great idea. Software updates to commuter vehicles should have a high bar for operational standards, and a simple thing such as an expired certificate should have never been deployed. Having isolated networks in vehicles helps but doesn't prevent broken updates from, eventually, bricking the cars.
Again, you've glossed over the fact that if the US had never gone to the Moon, the Soviets would've been making it very clear. They obviously had good reason to closely monitor the landings so they could catch the US in any lies and embarrass them. The landings being faked requires a conspiracy to have lasted all this time, without ever being written down, between countries that were one serious misunderstanding away from ending human civilization.

As for cost and 'easier', the Artemis lander programs are cheaper than what Apollo cost, and they have far higher requirements than just being the bare minimum to keep 3 carefully selected specimens of humanity alive for a few days. Hell, Starship is supposed to have an entire infirmary. That is to say that it would indeed be a lot easier if we were just aiming to land a few people in a can for a few days and were completely willing to risk their potential inability to return. We've made the requirements much harder, so the project is appropriately harder.
Can anyone, anywhere demonstrate a public corporation that has a monopoly and hasn't abused it to keep competitors out?

I haven't completely followed the AOT stuff, but I remember hearing some stuff about some reflection-heavy code doesn't play well with AOT.

But .NET has a great option in this case: ReadyToRun. Basically, it AOT compiles a ton of stuff, but also creates the byte code which can be JIT optimized at runtime. The file output is larger which is a downside, but is usually a very minute downside. ReadyToRun takes care of start up times because you have the machine code to get things running fast. Plus, the JIT can sometimes make optimizations that can't be done at compile time so you can end up with better overall performance (at the cost of a larger executable file).

One of the things that is nice about .NET is that a lot of things come with sustained, multi-year effort with some good things coming every year. Microsoft is working on making more and more of .NET AOT-friendly and really upgrading the way things are done. Along the way, there are things like ReadyToRun which work really well for what most people want/need.

I think you're talking about a different use case then OP.

For your point, an example is viewing 1080p on 64kbit/s is unreasonable and nothing will fix it.

For OP's point, I can imagine viewing 1080p (10Mbit/s) on a 1Gbit/s connection means a little buffer will solve the need for ABR as random packet loss or minor drops can be recovered with retries seamlessly as opposed to dropping quality to ABR.

So buffering is futile only when bandwidth is not sufficient, and even there its questionable, perhaps user might just want to download and view after that's complete rather then have poor quality.

Anyone who wants use web conference software should invest in an external webcam. Not only is it good for privacy (I don't trust software solutions, peripherals should have hardwired indicator lights and/or a way to hardware disable them when not in use), it's also a game changer when it comes to looking good on camera, because you can angle the webcam at angles that are far more flattering than the typical "looking up your neck" one that gets defaulted with built-in laptop webcams, and the quality difference between "adequate" and "good" is a big differentiator.

Now, I haven't used THIS webcam, but it's definitely the sort of thing I'd be interested in.

Honestly, if the poster is serious about being a professional manager and wants good advice on this, they should reach out to a professional organization that provides resources e.g.:

Great. I love it.
“It’s not good news if it’s right,”

Hell of a qualification. The problem with these one-liner responses is that the system is obviously complicated. There is not an infinite source of methane beneath the permafrost, how much is there really? How much is really going to be released? What other feedback loops need to be invoked besides simple temperature rise? I'm not an idiot nor am I in perpetual doubt of the science. Instead I think good arguments need to be made and I think there you are lacking.

I'm familiar with the calthrate gun hypothesis and its implication in this thread but I'm also familiar with the nuclear winter hypothesis and its late subsequent debunking but prior to that its impact on national policy during the cold war.
> But what if there is somehow some sort of major change to OpenAI's API, or they deprecate [current API version] and you're expected to migrate to a new one? Or, worse still, a major exploit is found?

The more constructive open source move would be to file an issue explicitly noting "the upstream dependency may breaksand there will need to be changes to accomidate it" or "there is a zero-day that needs to be fixed ASAP" instead of "is this repo dead." In the former case, others will have more information and it saves the maintainers time.

Many of my other projects have had people do that and I've been very greatful.

> The person in the screenshot made extra care to be polite about asking, and they're now being put on blast for it.

"What's the status of development?" or "Will this incorporate X feature coming up?" is polite and gives enough information on aliveness. The comment I screenshotted is passive-aggressive at best, and there's no really good way to ask "is this repo dead" without being passive-aggressive. My day-to-day job that actually pays me a salary wouldn't ever provide a bulleted list of the reasons I suck, let alone a project I develop in my spare time.

If I mass close stale unimportant issues/PRs the argument would then be "you don't want issues/PRs so no reason to contribute." Lose-lose situation.

> Also, your statement that they're offering to fork it as a "threat" against your project is not at all what is going on. If your project got forked with reason "original was abandoned," I think you'd be even more frustrated than you are now.

I would definitely not be frustrated (assuming that they give proper license/credit to the source code which is a different issue)

The fork comment wasn't directly related to the screenshot, but was a part of other discussions over the years where people say "I'd use a fork but the forks aren't as popular" which becomes an annoying Catch-22.

A/B partitions tends to solve that. You will only switch to the new partition when the update is 100% verified installed. If it doesn't complete in an atomic manner, your device will just boot into the previous healthy partition.
My Volvo XC90 gets regular OTA updates without issue, and so did my Land Rover Discovery before it.
I have a similar feeling.

My team builds out a lot of one-off projects for customers, and a lot of them don't need to be especially performant. That has always been the case for reporting/analytical projects.

You know what does make a difference though? Amount of development effort spent on the solution. The most performant solution can very easily cost the company much more in terms of development time spent. So in that sense, it's sub-optimal

I used to work for a company that built satellite receivers that would be installed in all sorts of weird remote environments in order to pull radio or tv from satellite and rebroadcast locally.

If we pushed a broken update it might mean someone from the radio company would have to make a trip to go pull the device and send it to us physically.

Our upgrader did not run as root, but one time we had to move a file as root.. so I had to figure out a way to exploit our machine reliably from a local user, gain root, and move the file out of the way. We'd then deploy this over the satellite head end and N remote units would receive and run the upgrade autonomously. Fun stuff.

Turns out we had a separate process running that listened on a local socket and would run any command it received as root. Nobody remembered building or releasing it but it made my work quick.
I don't know. I have a couple of old Dell laptops that still work fine, a 2008 Core 2 Duo Latitude and a 2010 1st gen Core i3 Alienware M15x. I didn't even bother to replace the HDD or upgrade the RAM, just switched them from Windows to Debian.
Yeah, that went federal. Very interesting.

How many of the graduates with degrees that end in "studies" are doing something useful with their degree?
This might be true on a wired link, but on wifi, it's not unusual to see bandwidth drop well below the mean throughput for 10s of seconds. One minute of buffering is enough to hide those issues. In many cases the quality drops during those times and then never goes back up again, so I'm stuck looking at giant macroblock artifacts for the rest of the movie (unless I hit stop and start playing it over again).

You create apt, rpm repos.

And users install from there.

Not saying that's a nice answer, but that is the answer.
> I had high hopes for it become the best story for crossplatform development, it still feels like the crossplatform is held by ductape.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's cross-platform GUI that still doesn't have a good, officially supported story.

For non-GUI apps, cross-platform works very well! I've deployed a range of apps to production across Windows, Linux (both x64 and ARM), and Docker on Linux too (also both x64 and ARM) with great success.

I'd like to see an officially supported build for BSD, but that's about my only cross-platform want.
> Yes, the version is 0.3, but Neovim is at 0.9.

I would argue that that's a fault on neovim's side; I'm sure there's a reason, but I would call it 1.x software.
>Which issues? On which hardware?

Does it really matter that much which exact issues, on an opinion piece? Is he the first Linux user to have issues with Wayland and Nvidia? Come on, be reasonable and assume good faith, no need to be a stickler.

> If you install Linux on a random Windows-certified laptop, you should expect troubles

Where does it say you should expect troubles? Every article and post online is praising that Linux works just as good or even better than Windows, causing most of non-technical people to hop on the Linux hype train and immediately be disappointed with various issues around UI scaling, HW acceleration, Nvidia, Wayland, etc.

>and don't blame others for them

Who has he blamed for his problems? Which individuals? Read his text again. To me it reads that he had issues with Linux but non with W11, no victim blaming.

If it was a whole decade ago it's hard to state how much the ecosystem has changed since then.

Since 2014 they've released Community Editions of Visual Studio, with a lot more useful features and less restrictive licensing than the old Express editions.

But if you're used to writing Python in Notepad++ I'd skip VS entirely. You can install the dotnet SDK and just keep using Notepad++.

Here's literally everything to write a CLI app in .NET 7:

A csproj file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>net7.0</TargetFramework>
<ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
<Nullable>enable</Nullable>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>

A program.cs file:

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

Then open a terminal and navigate to the folder you put the files in and run `dotnet build`. Or just pass in the folder in the argument `dotnet build .\demo\demo.csproj`.

Voila. A CLI executable is built in the .\bin\Debug directory.
Sure, it's fair to say that most mathematicians would have similar journals (I guess? - has anyone asked :))

I'm not talking about the lights just not working at all (mostly -- but I do see plenty of LED brakelights that are out on one side only), I'm talking about sections of the lights being out, or flickering wildly.

It's certainly not a problem with the LEDs themselves, but with the power or control circuitry. But, just like how it's rarely the LEDs themselves that have failed when your LED lightbulb stops working, the end result is that it's broken anyway and so needs repair.

I see more broken LED lights than broken old-style lights, but that may be because there are more of them on the road now. I don't know what the percentage failure rate is between the two.

Interestingly, years ago when stoplights were being replaced with LED versions, almost all of them would begin exhibiting similar failures within weeks of installation. That seems to have been fixed now -- I rarely see malfunctioning stoplights anymore. So perhaps cars will catch up to that standard.
