I wonder how much control Linus has over the foundation?

I've just been curious how much of the foundation's direction ares his interests, and how much are the interests of the large corporate "sponsors"...
Agreed thats insane.
You might have to change the modifier keys on the server config. I have a Linux server and MacOS client, a few minutes trial and error fiddling those settings until I got it all working.

If you are lucky enough to be blessed with remote untapped rivers that can be dammed in somewhat unpopulated mountain valleys (that's another story again), it seems to be far cheaper and safer. I would imagine that Nuclear power's main issue is first and foremost cost. If you could pull off completely safe nuclear power, it just winds up costing too dang much.
It's the reasoning of Idiocracy / Darwin Award candidates.
The best way to approach this is to find out what the questions are that the stakeholders have and then work out how to best answer them.

This is generally not a status report - that is largely useless and pretty boring.

What can be useful are things like project risks and mitigations.

What are the things that might derail projects and how are we managing the risks (if at all!).

Anything that the stakeholders can contribute or fix to e.g. we’ve got a bunch of open questions/blockers that need to be escalated.

The problem with most progress reports is they tend to always report things are on track until suddenly they aren’t. This is the most frustrating thing for stakeholders. Why didn’t we see this problem coming - how can it be that everything was fine and now it isn’t?

One of the nice things about Xournalpp is that is just plain XML (the save file). So its really just plaintext, I don't have to bother with reading hundreds of pages of PDF spec to try and write a reader in the future. If I needed to, I only need to write an application capable of rendering a PDF page, then drawing text/lines as described by the XML. Assuming libraries to render the PDF will continue to exist in this theoretical future we're describing here.

The Borland IDEs really were the swiss army machine guns of their time.

Turbo Pascal was one of the first languages I learned -- never really used it again, but looking back, it was an excellent beginner language.
You can't pump a fuel tank entirely empty. (You could try to displace it with an inert filler gas—compressed helium, for example—but then you're replacing fuel mass with filler-gas mass, and that brings its own set of tradeoffs).

(I understand it's a particularly deep and difficult engineering problem to solve this in space: in zero-gravity, liquid fuels turn into bubbles floating around in nearly-empty fuel tanks—all sorts of phenomena going on).
I love Firefox and this feature, but I need to hop between several devices and browsers for different purposes. I keep all my passwords, tabs, and bookmarks synced to my Nextcloud server with some extensions. If a particular browser goes to sh.., I can switch to another with low friction.
Damn it, man. I don't think I've seen worse defense in the last decade.

The Iraqis must be relieved to hear that yes, their country was destroyed but the person who started it did some random good thing in Africa.
> I would much rather have to spend a few days to relearn a tool every few years and to get the benefit of that tool, than accept a lower quality tool just to avoid a few days work.

I've worked with engineers who studiously avoid configuring any sort of quality of life improvements for their shell, editor, etc. because they claim it makes things easier when they have to use an environment that they can't as easily configure, like sshing into a shared box without a separate user for them to customize. This mindset has always been hard for me to understand; not only does it seem like they're optimizing for the rare case rather than the common one, but it seems like they're actually just lowering the quality of their normal experience in order to make the edge cases feel less bad without actually improving them at all
>>>> Someone has to decide what substances safe and prevent them from sold.

That's an odd take.

Oh and you can't use the bookmark tag thing on mobile either.

And you can't delete a URL (or domain) from the results of a search of browsing history. So the URL will continue to come up until you sync your history and get rid of the URL/domain on desktop.
I work at Transit app (https://manifesto.transitapp.com) and I think we fit the mould.

We build a navigation app that (1) helps drive down CO2 emissions and (2) encourages good urbanism, by helping people in urban areas make optimal use of their public transit and bikeshare systems.

In dense urban areas like NYC and Paris, where most of our users live, proposing a “most environmentally-friendly car trip”, like most consumer navigation apps do, is entirely beside the point. Carbon neutral transport options are just as fast or marginally slower than cars in these locales, especially when combining bikeshare and transit trips to eliminate long walks, and timing those trips with real-time transit data to eliminate waits at the stop. We believe in the compounding effects of good public transit and work with a few hundred transit agencies to make their service more accessible and accountable to riders.

Besides having a worthwhile mission, we also know that it’s only defensible in the long term with a sustainable business model, which we’ve managed by partnering with major transit agencies (like LA Metro, Muni, the MNTA, STM, OC Transpo, etc.) and having a soft paywall to encourage user subscriptions, which nullifies any incentive to monetize via impertinent ads and all those other unsavoury business practices regularly pursued by other companies in the consumer nav space.

Relatedly, we’re always on the lookout for bright, ethical, city-loving engineers — especially ones whose passions are machine learning, data compression, mapping, and mobile development. If that’s you: https://jobs.transitapp.com

The two most indispensable programs for me are "midnight manager" for Linux/OSX and the like, and "Far Manager" on Windows (and mc there too under wsl2).

I'm lost with Far Manager at work. I've stopped using Explorer long time ago (and use it only to verify some reported workflow from other users, or some obscure thing not possible in Far Manager).

Other tools: tig (pager), emacs, mg (mini-emacs) - I wish that was available on Windows too without needing msys2/cygwin, and few others.

Back in the DOS days - it was Norton/Volkov Commander, PC Tools, but also Turbo/Borland Pascal 3, 4, 5; the most awesome E3 editor (from this series - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(PC_DOS) ) - and many more
It resumed on my highest reached level when I revisted the page.

> Sorry, I don't really want private militaries nor private tax collection.

You can't have a government without a military or taxes, so it makes sense that government handles those things. They are requirements for the existence of government, and can't be delegated without existential risk. Medical research is not a core government function.

> I'm happy the government runs things like IDs and drivers licenses.

You'd probably be happier if you weren't required by law to get a license in the first place.

> In fact, various department of motor vehicles (or whatever your local thing is called) is an excellent example of how a monopoly can be a good or bad experience. I'm originally from Indiana and the motor vehicle folks are great there and the service is easy to use - by design - but it isn't like that everywhere in the US. This has nothing really to do with how "effective" their regulation is.

"Sometimes governments can handle basic services" doesn't strike me as a great argument for entrusting the government with complicated, vital services.

> I'm not sure actual monopolies are better - are you really satisfied with your electricity provider or ISP?

The alternative to government monopoly on the development of antibiotics isn't a private monopoly, it's no monopoly, and ideally without regulations which destroy the market incentives to develop antibiotics.
Also intriguing as a solution, which is potentially much stabler across revisions (page numbers are unstable), is the text-anchor-fragment feature Chrome introduced a while back: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Text_fragments

It's actually hit ~88% of the market https://caniuse.com/mdn-html_elements_a_text_fragments but unfortunately, Firefox remains a holdout* and that's my browser, so I don't use it (although maybe I should just install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-to-text-... and try it out - my existing method of making new anchors for annotation purposes is cumbersome).

* Firefox officially is positive on it but no sign of any movement on it: https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#scroll-to-tex... https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/194 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1753933 https://wicg.github.io/scroll-to-text-fragment/
I was going to say something similar. I don't believe in points any more. It just reproduces the class prejudices of overeducated people. The US has an abundance of "highly skilled" FAANG workers. It has a shortage of construction workers, plumbers, and electricians. The one "high skill" (really high class) industry where I'd make an exception is medicine, because there are shortages there.

But FAANG stuff? No, these are the companies that just had layoffs.

And we can see exactly how this has played out in Canada. Too many upper class professionals gouging each other's eyes out for $1M starter homes, and not enough people with real physical skills, like building them.
I guarantee you theres tons of engineers with backgrounds in O.S./Networking that could learn those things very quickly.

I bet most people working in it learned on the job. The certainly dont teach every single specific detail of the entire tech industry in universities.

This is just gaslighting.
Yeah I'm going to try it out when I purchase a dedicated Linux machine. Usually I ran from a 4GB-6GB VM so it's a bit stretchy.
As someone who migrated a somewhat old project to one which uses a newer framework, I agree with this. The amount of time I spent trying to figure out why and old module was broken before realizing that one of it's dependencies was using ESM even though it was still using CJS... I don't even want to think about it. Better to just make sure that a module was written or updated within the last 3 years because that will almost certainly work.
I don’t really see how their findings address their first research question. Some data on publication bias would’ve been stronger.

Relatedly, wonder how you get published in the Harvard Misinformation Review.

Side note: it’s wild to me how effective Soviet-style propaganda-as-education still is. For ex. I received a stack of ballots in my mailbox that I didn’t ask for. I don’t need ten thousand Snopes articles that never answer legitimate questions somebody might have from that.

No idea, because honestly part of the reason our project failed was that we he had zero in-house knowledge of browser internals.

Mind you, our idea was to build a "browser-based OS", which meant at the time that our initial design was customize Ubuntu to the point that it could boot straight into a single-user windowless Firefox and to build all the "shell" as extensions.

Thank you! This part of their operations isn't talked about enough, IMO -- they are better than average on the environmental front, but their labor practices aren't much better than anyone else's. They care enough to at least use Fair Trade and provide some basic footprint reporting (https://www.patagonia.com/our-footprint/working-with-factori...), but like Apple's attempts to improve their supply chains, these rarely result in actual on-the-ground improvements for the workers involved.
I personally appreciate the semi truck sized loophole that is satire. One can include an entire copy written work within one's own work as long as the treatment of that other copy written work is parody / satire. This is a provision of US copyright law put in place to protect political satire, which can be anything, because politics is everything.
Humans don't exactly have the greatest track record of granting other humans rights. I don't presume they'll get it any better with AI.

What I expect to happen is whoever has the most influence and power will get what they want and we'll end up raising a generation with the implicit understanding of "that's just how things are," natural order, truth, reality, and all that jazz.

The only thing that ever changes outcomes is if the contradiction status quo is incapable of being managed.
I can't find if there actually is much distrust with fact checking, aside from people who literally disagree with the facts. Do you, personally? If so, is there a paper backing why you do?

I couldn't find any evidence of bias either, but maybe a future study might find some? As for the qualifications, they're irrelevant to the facts. An uneducated child correctly stating a fact is just as correct as a PhD stating it. Certainly sources could be used to inform the reader, but there's no reason I can see to predetermine/pre-enumerate them. Even Wikipedia doesn't try to do that.

tl;dr: all that's really required is for the fact check to be correct
I don't really think most companies using the .io domain have any knowledge of the ethical issues.
I don't think you've understood the, very valid arguement in my opinion, that everything would end up with an unsafe label. In the same way that almost everything you buy either may contain nuts or is made in a factory which might process nuts - a practise which provides exactly zero useful input for the people it's intended to protect.

Why would this happen for things which aren't currently banned? An abundance of caution - better to claim it's potentially unsafe than pay the claims later. Or economics - why pay more for a safe sweetener when you can use the cheap and cheerful one and just label it unsafe.
Agree to disagree, I guess. However, the first half of the very first sentence on www.vim.org is "Vim is a highly configurable text editor" so take that as you will. I'm fairly certain there won't be any vim police showing up at my door if I make a chord-mapping :D I'm not into the chord-mappings myself, but I support those who are.
There's a few companies aimed to guide consumer buying decisions. Some are online marketplaces like www.grove.co, and there have been a lot of attempts at apps for this -- one still alive is https://www.thecommons.earth.

Most of the ethical-themed alternatives to a mass-market product don't seem to succeed at displacing the mass-market, but there are ethical alternatives in most every category for the cohort of people that will pay a premium for it. Note -- premium is not just higher price; spending more time, dealing with a less polished user experience, are also costs associated with prioritizing ethical alternatives.
Nuclear works 24/7/365. Renewables don't. That's the value proposition. (And nuclear does operate more cheaply in China and South Korea)

It just means the sms client can tell the difference. How exactly could be anything. They don't know enough to even know that this would require two seperate back-end services rather than the same back-end service with some optional extra special data added to the transaction. They don't even think of the words "client" or "back-end" or "transaction" like I just said. The fact that their iphone can tell that the other phone is not using imessage is not remarkable at all to them, or me for that matter.
Any lawsuit makes all the claims it can and demands every sort of relief it might plausibly have. That's not to say that's how it should be (it can have awful results), just to say that's what to expect (and hope courts only considers the reasonable claim - "stop freely sharing our data" and avoids ridiculous/anti-fair-use claim "you can't even store our data").

The thing about you claim, "Just learn to recognize and punish plagiarism via RLHF" is that we've had an endless series of prompt exploits as well as unprompted leakage and these demonstrate that an LLM just doesn't have fixed border between its training data and its output. This will it basically impossible for OpenAI to say "we can logically guarantee ChatGPT won't serve your data freely to anyone".

That's a different thing, though. You don't edit the data in a text editor interactively, do you? I would do any interactive editing with a local editor and then fire off remote processes to operate on the data.

It's funny because my reasons against using a text editor remotely are exactly the same: to make the development loop tighter. I am very upset by latency and always try to remove it where possible. I think this is the kind of thing where we'd need to look over each other's shoulders to understand our respective workflows.
A regulatory agency was fine for a world with a finite number of trusted vendors working operating in the the agency jurisdiction. Reliable consumer owned/operated molecular characterization is needed for a future that moves faster and farther than an agency or regulation.

Higher children mortality than most developing countries and worst life expectancy in G7 can't only be contributed to bad lifestyle.
It's also a huge part of not being able to access care, and that's not the cutting edge care, it's cheap basic care
I think total number of commits is probably a good metric too. If the project only has 7 commits to begin with then it's unlikely to get any more updates after it's "done". But a 10 year old project with 1000 commits where the last commit was 3 years ago is a little more worrying.
You're arguing from the abstract point of view, rather than the practical. The point is that it takes an order of magnitude more time to clone, say, a Vue project from three years ago that nobody has touched since then and try to download your dependencies and build on a new machine, as compared to an HTMX project.
The recent Unity-Godot debacle would seem to indicate to me that titans aren't invincible. They can do a lot of harm to themselves when they overestimate how much people want or need their product.

Switching from Chrome to Firefox isn't even nearly as difficult as switching from Unity to Godot (or say, from Windows to Linux). For the average user, Chrome and Firefox are functionally identical. If Chrome kicks off Adblocker, Firefox will be obviously better for a lot of people.
Does anyone here feel kind of trapped by their IDE now?

PHPStorm + Laravel Idea + the laravel-ide-helper package provides such a great PHP/Laravel development experience that I haven't been able to replicate in VS Code or Sublime. But chowing as much RAM as it does, it feels sluggish. Or at least, not as snappy as the alternatives. But I just haven't been able to find a middle ground with the lighter alternatives.

Running the IDE as a thin client with Jetbrains Gateway sounds like a decent solution, if your backend server is close enough for latency to feel okay. From a ~4GB PHPStorm usage, PHPStorm-via-Gateway on GitPod was 1.2GB max.

WebKit isn't Blink anymore. The only thing keeping WebKit alive is apple's tight grip on the iOS browser engine, and that will likely be a thing of the past soon.
Once that's gone, it's all going to be reskined chromium.
