Personally, I think he is wrong.

Several of the features he removed are useful to me. Whatever performance issues he quotes do not seem to apply to my installation.

And there have been rather useful additions to darktable after his fork. For instance the Sigmoid module, an alternative to the author's Filmic module, which I prefer over filmic. Or the very useful Primaries module. To say nothing of various performance improvements, an Mac version that is not broken, and updated camera support.

I've had a few run-ins with the author of this software. He has very strong opinions, and does not accept competing ideas. Good for him to build a fork of darktable that suits his sensibilities. But marketing it as a better alternative to darktable is misleading at best.

I read his efforts as a prime example of burnout. He tried to make the community project darktable into his fiefdom, and failed. So now he's frustrated and angry, and slings insults at the darktable devs.
It means the US are powerful and very good at flexing their geopolitical muscles.

It also shows, if needed be at this point, that the war in Ukraine has been the jackpot for US interests at the expense of Europe.

Now obviously, the F-35 is not going to be bad in global competition terms because few, if any, countries have the US' capabilities and tech, but that does not invalidate any of the criticisms against it.

If you were trying to price pre-IPO Stripe options, knowing what percentage of revenue Stripe is reliant on Shopify for might be interesting.
I really wish developers of OSS systems like this would design them, from the ground up, for multiple access points. None of the required changes are rocket science, but IMO all of the features should be pleasant to use with more than one AP, and the network architecture should support it. OpenWRT, for example, handles fast roaming in a way that is IMO quite miserable to configure.

(It would be really nice if the actual 802.11 standards specified a way for an AP to delegate management to a separate device so that any vendor’s AP could join such a network. Oh well.)
That's fair to point out. However, I don't think it detracts from the point: the definition is in some sense a detail, because there is a connection between "bubbles forming" and "the temperature water will not rise beyond", but it's subtle and assuming that one equals the other leads to error. The very reason we have that definition is that it's more precise, because in the real world there's details that escape narrow definitions as seen in school or in the kitchen.

As an aside: I love the bubbling patterns of water as it heats, and it's actually a useful skill in the world of tea-making (especially in the gongfu tradition) to estimate the temperature of water based on the amount and size of bubbles. Nowadays I use a temperature-controlled kettle, but in the past I would get by with a clear borosilicate glass kettle and paying attention to the details, which is fun and rewarding in itself—if far less precise.

The thing is... I honestly am not smart enough to trust the cryptography! I guess at a high level I could make some sense of it but there is no way I could fully evaluate any crypto as safe or not.
They seem to be a huge success and most of the failure claims during development were probably intentional smoke screens to throw off adversaries (tin foil hot take).
Right. So a good step to improve safety would be to apply the same rules to trucks and cars.
Posting the quote “Object code cannot, however, be read by humans” in a discussion about decompiling a game is definitely a strange option to take.
It has seemed like a crackdown on the competing with traditional banking that is crypto as a whole given the tone and tactics of the attacks. Comments made about stablecoins being in a problem in essence, not just the shoddy cases. Exchanges that have been going on for over half a decade (coinbase, kraken) even with an IPO (coinbase) that must have been reviewed by the SEC back then, being treated like mismanaged entities infringing the regulations (which do not exist yet) with the same basic claim they are selling securities (which most crypto tokens are not).

As to the aggregate, there are more representative running a vendetta against than in the defence of crypto businesses. It's slowly, slowly, slowly changing.

Which makes it pretty dishonest, especially when you augment it with mixing month and year ;)

Remittances to Russian individuals are like $25B/year; this is a whole lot. Yah, oil industry revenues are 10x higher (after having about a 20-30% bite taken out of them by sanctions), but of course, in order to get that revenue a decent chunk of the hard currency has to flow back out of Russia to pay for various O&G related expenses.

It would be nice, of course, to trim down the O&G revenues more, but any policy actions that countries take against a hostile state need to hurt the adversary more than themselves, and it's not too clear how to go further on O&G and meet this criteria.

This isn't a problem in my neighborhood, the opposite has now happened. I can hear my neighbors more than a block away. And it's actually not the EVs that are the worst offenders -- it's Toyota hybrids. They -howl- and are much louder than the non-hybrid equivalent. My Model 3 just makes white noise. Same volume as any other unmodified car at low speeds. Tire noise quickly dominates in either case, of course, above 10-15 mph or so.
I don’t think you should conflate wartime vs peacetime maintenance. At peacetime you aren’t ok with 1 or .1% of flights needing to come in for an emergency landing due to some part flaking out. During training you want as close to 100% reliability as possible.
People will de-compile proprietary software and GPL it, and others will have AI clone/port GPL code to new languages then back to the original language again to de-GPL code.

Relativity. Trade with China generates a lot of wasteful byproducts, at a lot of benefit to society.

Proof of work generates not as much wasteful byproducts, but far more relative to its current utility. Not its potential or idealized utility, but for what it gives now.

The cost-benefit on those two examples are at vastly different sides of the spectrum.

And your argument that because of that, we can't take claims about proof of work seriously doesn't hold muster. We can still do things about it. Just like we can still do something about the fountains at the Kardashian homes just being fresh running water (they were annoyed about the cleaning process, so had the bright idea to just install a drain and have the fountains be an open tap, so one of their homes was using 1/2 million gallons a month of water).

Ironically, to you, that's a drop in the ocean and we should let them do it because it doesn't move the needle.

That's my whole point. My understanding from watching jorbs is that the highest skill aspect of slay the spire is correctly navigating shops because you have the most choices.

So in the sense that "if I pick a random valid guess" you are more likely to come upon a good guess in hard mode, non-hard-mode is harder. However, in the sense that "you, a human, have to think of a word that matches the constraints and not just any five letter thing" hard mode is harder

There's really no way to tell, as the US and other western countries haven't been involved in symmetric warfare in recent history. Will the F-35 be able to penetrate air defenses and strike an S-300 battery? Is its radar good enough to detect and engage a J-20 without exposing itself to return fire? Those capabilities have never been tested (and hopefully never will).
It's an aggressive delivery, but I think you're asking the right question. From his citations and examples, it seems believable he's correct.
This continues to be a scaling perception problem - it takes time to work up planes to full capacity at the safety levels that the peacetime air force demands. Especially compared to designs that are many decades in service. The F-16 and F-15 where initially designed more then 60 years ago, The A/A-18 based on the YF-17 was started 50 years ago.

I suspect that this is just the latest version of people failing to understand how costs and flight hours scaled - the same short-sighted griping that happened when people failed to understand on the cost side.

Wouldn't it make more sense if HNW was relative to the individual country for this map? e.g. a non-HNW individual leaving the US may become a HNW individual in another country.

EDIT: I understand HNW has a definition already, I just mean maybe it's not the most informative measure to use for this graph.
It is not the F-35 either. The F-35 is more of a jack of all trades than its multirole predecessors.

Note that the F-22 is also considered a multirole aircraft, but it really is suited for just 1 role, which is why it was discontinued, since that role was not deemed necessary in modern conflicts. The F-22 also outperforms the F-35 in that single role.
It's worth noting that copy_file_range is used by a lot of things. Most programming languages "copy_file" functions use copy_file_range, everything from Rust to Emacs Lisp! The only language I can think of that doesn't use copy_file_range when copying files is Python.

On Gentoo, the portage package manager is written in Python but has some "native extensions", one of these extensions is copying files with copy_file_range, which is used when merging images to the root filesystem from my understanding.

Also GNU coreutils "cp" command uses it by default in recent releases, I'm not sure which release specifically introduced this change.

There are other things required to trigger the bug that are a lot less common though.
All great software for artists is very opinionated. Lightroom has very specific order. Capture One has it. OP is absolutely right, that the order of modules must be fixed. Arbitrary modules order is an unnecessary complication for artists, and there are strong technical reasons why the order should not be arbitrary.
The obviously fun takeaway would be that if we put North Korea as a 9 on the Dear Leader scale, and USSR under Stalin at 8, then the USA will rate 4 its President cult, and that would be much higher than the rest of Western world.

I'm not in the military, never was, but I'd expect better performance in war time. You can tolerate a much much higher failure rate during peace time. It doesn't matter much if a training mission is aborted, the consequences are much lower.

One thing to consider. Being a 5th get figher, not being specialized for a specific role could still leave it equal to, or better than, more specialized planes in previous generations.

Sure, and a Formula 1 car is probably less reliable and has more maintenance hours than a Honda Civic. The F-35 also has capabilities that the F-15 and F-16s don't: namely a much stealthier signature and, in some variants, carrier and VTOL capability.

It is true that lessons from the Ukraine war show that attritability is important. But it's likely that drones or older generation aircraft would be employed for tasks that require attritability.

> it seems like Darktable becomes more and more unusable due to a lack of good defaults and easy configurability.

The funny thing is, in my personal experience, Darktable defaults and configurability have actually markedly improved in the last few years. Usability even more so.

Frankly the worst instance of bad defaults and parameters were in the author's own filmic module, which were truly terrible in the beginning. They improved after a few years/versions, but it's still quite the hypocrisy to then complain about this very fact in the rest of the software.

The Marine Corps' requirement to replace the Harrier and older Hornet was more urgent than the Navy's requirement to replace their newer Super Hornet, so the Marine Corps' version of the F-35 got fielded long before the Navy's.

> "Tesla cars, including the Cybertruck, are much less likely to run over things, including kids, than most every other vehicle"

Citation/data needed. For a vehicle that does not have millions of miles in test or production usage, with all respect, this is a marketing statement. (Millions of miles is even low, a few hundred or thousand vehicles hit those numbers in no time)

One could say the truck is designed in that way.. but again, citation needed.

> There are distance sensors around the entire perimeter of the car that give you a visual and audio queue for when you're close to stuff, and there's cameras that also cover 360 degrees that show pedestrians and other obstacles on the navigation screen.

Are the majority of pedestrian collisions while backing up at low speed? Does this capability have anything to do with pedestrian safety vs not backing up into a mailbox? Will these cameras move the needle in any way for pedestrian fatalities after being struck by a vehicle?
There can only be one "first", though. First re-usable booster. First landable booster. And first reliable-enough booster.
I didn't say "capitalism is bad". I pointed out that the state of the current market players are so far from what you'd expect in a "free" market, that pushing to make the market incrementally more free is likely to do the exact opposite by increasing the coercive powers of the already-entrenched interests.

Once the health "insurance" cartels are put out of business, providers are legally required to publish uniform price schedules and ahead of time quotes, pharmaceuticals can be freely bought across borders, mandatory prescriptions are eliminated, residencies are funded privately, etc, then maybe there is a chance at a freed market fostering a functioning market. But not one step before then.

> French is upset that EU countries are ordering this instead of an EU made plane.

Military contracts are a lot more complicated than a mere comparison between technical specs. For example:
- Interop with the rest of the equipments

- Training costs for the pilots/mechanics

- NATO interop

- Will buying F35 lead to a better deal for another XYZ equipment?

- Will buying F35 lead to a better political deal on XYZ non-defense-related topic?

- Will buying F35 lead to technology transfer? Jobs created because (partly) manufactured on their country?

- Will buying F35 makes their country army more/less independent of external supplies/intelligence?

The main reason western countries are buying F35, regardless of its pro/cons is that it is manufactured by the US, a superpower with currently the biggest army in the world (in terms of budget).

Put in another way, even if China suddenly made F35 clones for a cheaper price, the EU countries would no buy them.
Until grants explicitly grant money for an independent lab to reproduce the research they are paying for (effectively almost doubling the grant amount), no one is going to spend their hard-won funds on reproducing someone else's research. At least not in a timely manner.

What such a requirement would do is dramatically scale back research, and highly incentivize researchers to lie, or the "independent labs" to fudge in order to keep drawing funding from their collaborators.

> Saying “rich people are all bad and have hurt way more people” is specious.

> Implying that I can’t imagine it, when you are apparently incapable of being specific, is juvenile.

I agree. I wasn't saying that, anymore than someone was saying "all cops are bad and have hurt way more people". I'm certainly not saying YCombinator or any of its companies have done something spectacularly bad. Besides that, the whole point in "bad cop who is let go without any harm to their future" metaphor would be about the subsequent work of any "bad employee" at YCombinator. I would point out though that this lack of transparency is why, is why neither you might not know of any misdeeds --and that's the problem.

OpenAI has access to massive amounts of capital & data, and has a pretty significant reach already, and it's just the beginning. Would it really be so absurd that Sam Altman couldn't have a far larger influence on the world, positive or negative, than a cop? If it is absurd, then we're either investing way too much in OpenAI or way too little in cops.
Extrapolate the trends dude. One day, those models will be just as good - you will be able to train them on your codebase’s context, and they will have similar performance.

They have no moat other than training data and computing power - over the long term, while they may become a huge company, Apple will keep making M chip computers.
Lack of usable support from a lot of access points and management systems. Do any of the major multi-AP systems support it? UniFi has no support. I don’t think any of the Ruckus products support it.

(Also, “push the button” is a bit of an awkward concept with multiple APs.)

edit: it’s also a disaster due to a proliferation of crappy client devices that more or less require it.
`man bash` is, hands down and by far, the most accurate and complete bash resource.

That doesn't mean it's a pleasant or even good read. It's terse, technical and descriptive. It's a users manual, not a textbook, and not a tutorial.

But it's complete, explains everything, it's free, comes with bash, and is searchable ;-)

I have spent a lot of time in there, usually when debugging or extending old shell scripts.
Close air support is not that significant a role against a peer adversary. The Ukraine war has shown that modern air defenses are good enough to make CAS far too dangerous. Fixed wing aircraft doing CAS averaged something like 6 sorties before being downed or irreparably damaged. And for CAS against a non-peer adversary, older generation craft are viable (F-16s are still in production, remember).
In the same way as Stack Overflow has resulted in worse programmers, at least in some senses.

I don’t mean to bash on SO, it’s really valuable sometimes. But corporate culture (faster is always better) and a new breed of programmers that don’t really care, have left us with a big part of the profession that are unable to produce anything new, or solve any unique problems.
