My needs have changed a lot over the years. I no longer run company email for DayJob¹, and for the server I ran for myself, family & friends, I've jammed together a mail server³ from standard parts.

I still have Zimbra running behind a firewall (those who need access do so via SSH tunnel) for archive access, in case anything didn't transfer cleanly to the new arrangement and for things I didn't bother transferring.

It may work for your use case.
Can anyone that makes radar comment: does this just work or does that kit need to understand that this can happen to process it. Is an operator just using the thing and for a couple house is surprised at how much more shows up?

like a telescope operator would be like "huh that's new" where as my router will be like "hmm TCP just got bigger, stop working."
Yes, because any transition takes time. And since people still want heating during said transition we still need gas. And since gas is the cleanest fossil fuel we have, yes, let's built pipelines. Which can be reporposed for green hydrogen in a potential future.

Unless of course, you want to go pre-industrial that is.

So what's the job that you'd be hoping to get to sustain your hobbies that is immune from AI takeover. Please tell me?

I am a creative type that became a commercial SE to actually fund my lifestyle. I don't expect to just make money from creative hobbies just because I want to, so I have gone for a job that is in high demand. But AI will eventually learn to code well enough. Then there will be no demand for software engineering, one of the few job markets that even has this level of demand and high employment. So what's the next avenue for us when that job becomes obsolete.
How is a firmware difference different from Microsoft selling Windows 11 Home and Windows 11 Pro at different price points? The software and its configuration is part of what you buy.

Of course you should ideally be free to change the firmware of the hardware you own, but for that you would have to develop firmware with the desired features yourself.

AppImages are also very big. Example: Blender [0] (210MB), OBS [1] (105MB), Ungoogled Chromium [2] (166MB)

The only alternative that does not lead to downloading 100s of MBs of files is .deb/.rpm files and the associated "the prebuilt binary needs libfoo.so.4.0.1 but Debian ships libfoo.so.4.0.0" problems. Which ultimately means you pull even more dependencies than the Flatpak runtime for building (gcc, make, CMake, libfoo-dev, libfoo-dev's *-dev dependencies,...) and spend a long time compiling the application (also suited only for high memory, high core count machines).

My child specifically? My heart would break because I'd know she's only doing it for the money and she'd be miserable. It's a great field, but I think pure programming can be soul crushing if you don't have natural interest.

I'll teach my daughter some of the skills because i don't think there are many careers where programming has zero value, but my kid is a theater kid through and through. It's very tragic for my financial dreams for her, but I'm getting a little more heartened as she and I explore and I talk to people about the domain. I'm hoping it'll be like when I learned that technical writing existed, so a writer kid was not doomed to starve.
A major piece here (electricity storage) is V2G ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid ).

Reducing emissions related to transportation leads to electrical vehicles, and therefore to a vast amount of batteries, most not used at any given moment and therefore ready to store overproduction or release needed electricity.

Batteries' performance are quickly progressing, and their prices history is clear:
https://ourworldindata.org/battery-price-decline
> Gas is the cleanest fossil fuel. Modern gas turbines are by far the most efficient way of generating electricity from fossil fuels.

The "Cleanest" is around 400g/kwh which is still very far from clean. It is around 20x more emissive that what Nuclear would give you.

But congratulations, you just described what was the German strategy for the previous 20 years. With a lot of pipelines connected directly to Russia (Because Germany does not have Gas) and with a very happy Vladimir.

And then the Ukrain-Russia war came. And the rest is history.
Often the people who overfocus on the beauty of the flower are those detached too far from the customers, too many indirections that hide failures and pressure
Close to none. Most of the heavy industry products (e.g. cars) are imported from either Brazil or Argentina.

It was a huge surface ship, at sea. It was probably spotted in a 20 or more different ways - from commercial satellite imagery to HUMINT to its own radar transmitters to Russian sailors' cell phone signals.

Every way of spotting a target suffers from uncertainty. Most suffer from delays (satellite photo is X hours old), security issues (keep your spies alive), and political considerations (Ukrainians might want to feel that they are fighting and winning, not just acting as push-button-when-told minions of foreign powers).

Waiting to attack it until that could reliably be done with all-Ukrainian assets, all of which the Russians already knew about - that maximizes the number of checked boxes, eh?

This is psychological problem you cannot solve by technological means. As a wee lad I actually made some pocket money from a GPL-licensed software I maintained. That part was surprisingly easy, the skill is highly valued. But I avoided making it a career, it all felt so overwhelming (how to balance fun, demands from customers and contributions???), inappropriate("you must not be doing money from GPL!!!!11"), weird (even harder to explain what I'm doing than typical IT job) and lonely.

Bizarre: the original 4:3 video has been put into filled-in letterboxed vertical video (!), and then YouTube shows it pillarboxed, for a full windowboxed video!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letterboxing_(filming)

I think I can guess why: the black letterboxing one would get without the top and bottom fillers might be off-putting for people watching on their phones. And no detail is lost since the original had such low resolution for modern standards.

I still think it’s a net benefit if this brings Cosmos to more people even if it looks horrid to me, and this particular cut is a very good standalone explanation and illustration of the concept.
> Also, Flatpak allows for lib dependencies to avoid duplicate libraries from filling up your disk. Not really sure what else you expect.

Assuming that the app developers play nice and all agree to use the same (latest?) version of the libraries. In which case Flatpack becomes just a clone of Debian/Arch.

If app developers don't play nice (which is most likely), Flatpack becomes more of a bloated version of Nix/Guix.
I just tested it:

1 #include <source_location>
2 #include <iostream>
3 int main() {
4 auto c = [](std::source_location loc1 = std::source_location::current()){
5 std::source_location loc2 = std::source_location::current();
6 std::cout << loc1.function_name() << ":" << loc1.line() << "\n";
7 std::cout << loc2.function_name() << ":" << loc2.line() << "\n";
8 };
9 c();
10 return 0;
11 }

As eklitzke said, this results in (using gcc):

int main():9
main()::<lambda(std::source_location)>:5
Marketing is only important if your product is equal to existing or worse.

For example, if you find a way to make some product two times cheaper (like Uber), you won't need much marketing.
It was such an amazing time. Everyone always points to tech differences and tries to do stuff like Gemini, but the tech stack isn't the main problem.

The big problem is the Internet was a reflection of real life, now it's largely just a reflection of more internet. Scroll all day, post, sleep, repeat... Doesn't leave much time to create anything worth scrolling, and the stuff that is gets lost in the sea of low effort shit posts.

The software doesn't help, but mostly because of the UX. The actual tech is fine. Stuff is fast and batteries last 12 hours. We don't need simple lightweight versions of what we have, we need pagination, proboards-style UIs with large signatures and avatars, and to go do more stuff aside from endless fussing with tech stacks.

Same here. Corporations at worst got a bunch of (unearned) money off of me. My "democratic" government can (and tried to) put me in jail, disallow me to make my living from my field of choice, controls my (and my children's) education and is trying to kill me every day with an incredibly bad (government-run, of course) infrastructure and healthcare.

The communist dictatorship I grew up in killed a bunch of my relatives and tried hard to grind my family (and me) into the ground. I was lucky with the fall of the evil ideology.

Yep, using it for my small software company. We used Jira before, and while we had a halfway decent config so it didn't suck too badly, Linear is just light years ahead in terms of usability. I take a lot of inspiration from how they approach software.

There are some drawbacks. Linear is highly opinionated about some stuff. I happen to think most of their opinions are sensible, so that doesn't bother me, but it's explicitly not a general purpose replacement for Jira.

I'm pretty impressed with their new developments. This article shows they are thinking about issue tracking from first principles, which is helpful. This triage thing is definitely something we've been struggling with, and something that most other issue trackers do not deal with well at all. We've been a customer for about a year now, and we're constantly seeing steady improvements. Recently upgraded to the top tier package, and I had a minor scare because I did not realize it was going to be billed annually (it mentioned a monthly price with 'billed annually' under it but my brain wasn't braining very well when I clicked upgrade), so I sent an e-mail asking about it, and they got back to me quickly, with a proper in-depth, human sounding response. I just love being in contact with an actual human, and not feeling like a number in an arbitrary system, even though given their scale I must be.

So two thumbs up from me.
How to compute LLM embeddings 3X faster with model quantization
This was discussed a couple of years ago with lots of comments¹. I'm unsure how much has changed in the meantime, as the top couple of pages of commits on GH are upstream emacs changes. Would make me happy to see it progressing though, as(like with neovim) the tugs in different directions allows things to be tested out that might not make it past the original mail to a developer list in the upstream projects.

Edit: I decided to have a quick poke around, and there are ~40 non-upstream commits this year. About half of those are minor cleanups and cargo dependency updates.

Flatpak itself is not enforcing this. You can ship a statically linked binary with no dependencies if you want.

The runtime thing that flatpak supports is, ironically, to minimize and deduplicate common dependencies, and to be fair they are only downloaded with the first app that needs it with many apps using the same handful of runtimes. The fetish for shared dependencies within Linux and the pains it causes are a bit frustrating, but that's not new to flatpak.

> What's even more insane is at the command line when you Tab to autocomplete the thing makes network requests and hangs! It's the only CLI app I know what requires the internet to autocomplete!

nit: CLI tools do not implement auto-complete themselves. What you are seeing are auto-complete scripts for your shell that make network connections.

Not sure if flatpak keeps a local repo list. That would be the only way to implement tab-completion of installable items without making network connections.

I don’t mind cold emails. I tend to read them and sometimes find interesting products and opportunities. I know that many of these emails are automated; it’s too bad that they’re not more personalized on average but I understand the need to scale a BD team.

But sometimes I come across a company that has set up an automation flow where you get a dozen emails over the span of a couple of weeks. This needs to stop. The only thing incessant spam will do is guarantee you get on my auto-delete list. A couple times a year is one thing. A couple times a week is unacceptable.
Up to a point. Afterwards, consumers suffer from garbage products, enshittified services, and under-reported inflation, while companies compete themselves to oblivion.

What you say is "widely acknowledged" is in direct contradiction to what is actually getting deployed on the grid. And what you say is a "weirdly specific claim" is also a surprise to people.

If a large chunk of current grid investment in Texas, profit-drivej by independent investors, how could it not be feasible to continue this level of investment? Especially when costs are falling dramatically and production capacity for batteries is just getting started and is scaling at a tremendous rate that will result in a complete excess of battery capacity within the time period that we could only build a thousandth of the same amount of nuclear wattage?

What is the blocker on feasibility?

Security oriented distributions require a strong proof of identity.
Standards come out of standards bodies. There's nothing other than a law or a lawsuit or the threat thereof that would compel to open iMessage as a standard. It's a competitive value-add to adopting the platform.

Free markets are I create something awesome and profit from it not am then forced to allow you and everyone else to build off of my hard work unless I choose to or am forced to.

If Apple was approached by governments or other institutions to use iMessage as the basis of some standard which iirc hasn't been done that'd be one thing. What we do know is that RCS is inferior to iMessage in many ways.

So Apple will adopt standards compliant RCS but it likely won't be the same and lazy Android users who want to stick to the stock app will get to enjoy the spoils of a half-baked solution.

My issue is with this mob mentality of forcing the hand by fiat, lawsuit, or otherwise to coerce a company to open up a tech/product/platform when they built it with no intentions of opening it -- it's proprietary by design.

The free-market works when someone else builds something -- in this case a better phone experience -- that would cause folks to move to that and abandon iMessage. But no -- let's keep our pitchforks and keep insisting some wierd collective ownership bias that means you or I or anyone else has some say over the property and tech of another person or company. Because, sure that makes sense.
Too bad that doesn't materialize in reality as seen in the EU
