(that said: were I to live in a society that forced belief in gods, I would likely be exactly this kind of heretic)

Edit: come to think of it, in such a society atheism might well be safer than heresy; an atheist would just be wrong, but a heretic might be considered dangerously wrong.
> except that with Windows I have no restrictions with applications.

what you do get with windows is a UI that changes, resets, and ignores your previous customizations with every os update, which you cannot stop/prevent. even group policy hacks and regedits wont always save you. LTSC is apparently a thing but you cannot pay anyone money to actually get that license as an individual user.

dark patterns to prevent users from creating offline, local-only accounts. you have to yank the ethernet cable now during initial setup to get the option not to log in to your ms cloud account? (or some insane nonsense like that)

plus more cloud services that i didnt ask for with each update, more things bloating ram and disk/cpu on startup, more telemetry. and ads. always. more. ads. ads in the browser, ads in the start menu, ads in the widgets.

windows decided one day to auto-update and fuck up my linux dual boot setup.

after more than two decades of windows following DOS, i couldnt do it any more with this omnipresent Windows SaaS shit.

tried Mint and Manjaro for a while, then switched to EndeavourOS + KDE/Plasma and never looked back. everything is just faster on linux and nothing changes out from under me in the past 3 years of daily rolling updates.
I'm extremely happy with a keyboard focused interface like Gnome is. I also like Gnome for giving me sensible defaults and for staying out of my way.

The whole "desktop metaphor" with icons littering the display never made sense to me, so I really appreciated the new take that Gnome tried and keeps exploring.
"I encourage anybody using KDE"

Don't you effectively need to be running Neon, b/c you can only file tickets against the latest version? I have lots of small bugs with Ubuntu LTS (particularly with KDE Connect transfers) - but I assume nobody is interested in those. They're also basically impossible to replicate (ex: "Transfer failed for unknown reason" or "File arrived corrupted for unknown reason")
Yes it is a big hurdle. However, I think content discovery is generally a big part of any content platform, way broader than discovering "who have reacted to my content". Now if you want to solve the problem of content discovery in a broader sense, then you have already fixed this particular shortcoming of pull-model as well. If a service that can inform you about new posts with a particular hashtag, it most probably can also tell you about reactions to a particular post.

And yes, I do realise that such services will tend to not be really decentralised (similar to the relationship of websites and search engines). But that means the downside is not that you don't get such discovery, but that you'll be reliant on more centralised services for such discovery, whereas in the fediverse you would be less reliant on such services for finding out who has commented on your post (though it will, as you've mentioned still not be enough).
To my European eye that is a very pretty town; it feels so uniquely american. Is it safe? is it nice living there?
I moved from Gnome to KDE recently.

There is likely no desktop environment that's more customisable while at the same time being full batteries included as KDE is. And I've probably tried them sll: Gnome, XFCE, Enlightenment, Cinnamon, Mate, i3wm...

If there's a flow you've grown accustomed to, you can most probably replicate that in KDE.
Krita may have started out as a digital painting tool, but today it is also a pretty good picture editing tool, and certainly easier to use than GIMP for many common photo editing tasks.
A friend of mine just yesterday had to say goodbye to a horse she's been taking care of for the past 10 years.

I can't really say "her horse" as he wasn't the type that would listen to commands.

It's really nothing like having an inanimate object, like a bicycle.
What Maynard from Tool Reminded Me About Expectation Management
I wish they'd at least made it thinner. Some of those screenshots on the release page [1] (Kate, Kdenlive) look awful, the actually useful content (code, clip problem list) is squeezed into a corner by UI elements that are mostly empty. That thing is ridiculous, the editor window is nearly as tall as a 1080p but it can barely display 20 lines, and the Clip Problems window is clipped at an 8-item view.

I'm not even going to go into the relevance of touch-enabled devices for a Linux desktop but this is awful even by general standards. The clip problems list is laid down vertically, so pointer movement is primarily on the vertical direction. Even if you don't go through the list, you'll usually go over the window vertically just to get to OK/Abort or one of the buttons in the uperr-right section. Whatever ID gains (in the sense of Fitts' law) one hopes to gain by making the widgets fatter are more than offset by the increase in travel distance due to widget stacking. You get targets that are harder to hit and extra scrolling.

This is a good trade-off on a 6" touch screen, where you're gonna do a lot of scrolling anyway so you get to work on the one factor you can control (pointer resolution), especially as pointer motion isn't constrained to a single plane (thumbs move on the vertical axis, too -- in fact even easier, due to anatomical constraints). I'm gonna go on a limb and say that I suspect the vast majority Plasma users are running laptops and desktops with screens slightly bigger than that and either a trackpad or a mouse.

The villain. Superheros have arch enemies.
I almost wonder whether they even care about changing it, because why? This site has been completely functional aside from some load-bearing issues here and there. It's not like it's an ad plagued, high stakes, profitable venture.
Virtual private server == anything that is not a whole machine, usually referring to small VMs.

In hetzner speak you want a "shared vCPU server".

That's roughly what others offer as VPS, just more clearly spelled out (IMHO). You get fractional CPU usage that should be burstable and roundabout one core.
How to Start Improving a Legacy App (2022)
Simplifying Krita vs GIMP as a difference between application frameworks is reductionist. Krita has much better connection with actual users and their needs, in the first place. Same with Kate and many other KDE apps which became fairly competent in their niches in recent years.

KDE ecosystem in general has a working user feedback loop, something that is historically hard to come by in FOSS world.
As a KDE developer, I think Gimp is pretty great and has made massive progress in the upcoming 3.0 release (also on things only Krita could do so far, like reasonable colorspace-independence, also UI-wise). Obviously we're very proud of the Krita team. I use both regularly for different tasks, and that they have slightly different objectives and mission statements has been great for open source content authoring.
Just thought I'd chime in to say this is often called a 'vox pop'.

On which Desktop Environment/wayland compositor? I am pretty sure Firefox Picture in picture works as intented (tiny window, stays on top of things) on GNOME's wayland session, and on Plasma 5.27.x I was able to make it work with a few KWin rules set by GUI (I would love to share the details, but I don't have my Plasma machine with me currently).
Same here. This is one change that they made that really does not make any sense to me. Also with smartphones being so used these days and they all have this single click mode of doing things, well it would also make more sense to me to keep single click for opening in KDE Plasma.
we will discuss what is an optimistic update and how to implement it in your React app to make it feel faster and more responsive, using React Query.
I agree that there are other, possibly easier, ways to read SICP. But I just discovered that it was available as a Guix package when I was setting up Guix on my system, so I thought I’d share this cool little tidbit. :)
OVH have some in the US. I've only had good experiences with them. I like Server Hunter to get a general overview:

There's also less kids and that makes people drive faster. When I was a kid, there would be a dozen or more or us in a gang on bikes anywhere in the city and that was just us. There would be huge gangs of teens wandering. When I was a teen, I used to walk 3 miles to downtown with my friends for mo reason at all. My city hasn't changed except you don't see kids literally everywhere. Even in quiet neighborhoods with parks in the center, I don't see kids ambling about or playing. There's nothing dangerous around, but they still aren't there.

I think this is just the decline of the birth rate. I think about my neighborhood. My kid should be spoiled for kids to play with, but couple only has one kid and the ages are spread from infant to nearly an adult, so it works out in the whole neighborhood theres only a handful of kids she can play with. I see bus stops with just 2 kids there. When I was a lid there were nearly a dozen at just my stop.

I really think because there are less kids, it's just less safe for them because people don't honestly think they'll turn the corner and there well be half a dozen kids playing basketball in the street or something.
The Economist had an interesting recent article suggesting that, at least in America, part of the problem is that car insurance is way too cheap, so owning a car and driving like a moron is too easy: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2024/01/18/why-car-i....

> According to the Insurance Research Council (irc), an industry data group, 29% of claims nationally (and over 50% in several states) involve people insured at the state minimums [in the tens of thousands of dollars]. Few policies go beyond a few hundred thousand dollars of liability. The cost of a serious crash “is never going to be covered by that”, says Dale Porfilio, of the irc. By contrast, in Germany drivers are required to have €7.5m ($8.2m) of bodily-injury coverage, and in Britain liability is unlimited.

I don't have a car, but I acknowledge that most Americans live in places where not having a car would make their lives much harder. Still, it seems reasonable for me to raise insurance requirements on enormous SUVs. They're 50-100% more dangerous to pedestrians, so this would reflect a higher actual cost inflicted on other people. If you don't want to pay that cost, and you still need the transportation of a personal car, buy the smaller and less dangerous vehicle.
The concern with the Sun is that UV rays are damaging the elastin and collagen proteins in our skin - so the real goal is to avoid the direct UV radiation as much as realistically possible, not to never see the sunlight. :)

In fact, sunlight exposure is very important for other crucial mechanisms in our body like melatonin regulation and D vitamin production.

You still can have all the benefits and fun by simply being more active in morning and sunset, avoiding midday exposure (which is already part of the culture in many sunny regions), and wearing the sunscreen and proper clothing to protect your skin. Of course, how much UV exposure do you need for you body to function normally and not let sun ruin your skin depends primarily on where you live, is it summer or winter, etc. It all comes down to limiting how much UV radiation you'll get. If you're dark skinned it also helps - the melanin in your skin acts as an additional layer of protection against UV rays.
How to burnout a software engineer, in 3 easy steps (2023)
In these comments there is a distinction between between activating the private personal Starlink accounts of user morphle and activating the Starlink accounts of other people by the same person on behalf of a rural internet coöperative in other countries.

We also helped rural Spain, rural Ukraine and on other continents and islands with setting up optical mesh and satellite internet, most of which had Starlink links as backup.
In essence, this is equal to slavery - "someone pays me to flood you with SPAM - if you refuse that SPAM, I will starve to death; so please don't refuse the SPAM"
We know that bees fly to the flowers by their own wish.
Imagine how bees are sitting in their hive and out of nowhere thousands and thousands of flowers are coming to the hive and advertising "Here, be-be-be-beees, the best floral pollen for you! Take 3 for the price of 2!"
If you were a bee - would you consider this normal?
Are you sure it wasn't running under XWayland? Firefox has had wayland support turned off by default until just recently.
GNOME might look a bit macOS-like from far away but it's really not when using it. I personally hate macOS but do love GNOME.
If you're using Amx or Smex, they likewise have similar commands. Instead of `execute-extended-command-for-buffer` it's e.g. `amx-major-mode-commands`. In my experience, whatever you're using for frecency is usually fine, but it's nice now and then. More commands making use of it wouldn't hurt!
It's rather ironic that a discussion on what Christians believe would be based entirely on quotes from before the birth of Christ.

I think though that he did say something relevant to the question at hand: "The kingdom of God is inside you" (Luke 17:21) (ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν).

Now isn't God in his kingdom ?

Tat tvam asi.
This is super cool, testing it out now.
People feel like their children deserve things in life which requires financial stability. Poor people having kids is seen as asshole behaviour.

Just having your children learning to swim costs 1000 euro!
I use Gnome (and Sway, depending on which computer I'm on). I use Gnome because it works great with wayland, and I just need to get work done, and Gnome does a pretty alright job of staying out of the way. KDE's integration with Wayland feels too clunky for me at this point. Plus I get rendering artifacts on the edge of the screen when I use plasma with screen scaling.
That link compares a cargo Dragon mission to ISS against a Shuttle launch. Did a Shuttle mission have more overhead because of the people on board? I'm not clear if the Shuttle cost is just the launch, or the whole manned mission with all the astronaut preparation.
The problem with Extrapolations is that it's really a watch a single time series. Despite how good it was, I don't think I could sit through that twice.
Sorry for my silliness, so 'cloud' is a new name for 'VPS'?
In my experience, the discrete version of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem is a really great conversation starter to talk about the kinds of things mathematicians like. Everyone knows that the exterior angles in a polygon has to sum up to 2 pi, but did you know that you can define "exterior angles" on the vertices of a polyhedron that have to sum up to 4 pi? Can you think of a single line of reasoning that explains both facts? (Remember that the circumference of the unit circle is 2 pi and the area of the unit sphere is 4 pi...)
SQL in the examples is deliberately convoluted, to make pql look more elegant.
Wikipedia would have told you.

A cumal is the unit in which medieval Irish monetary values are denominated. It is also the medieval Irish term for a female slave; the unit is notionally equal to the value of one such.

The point of answering the question in a historical currency is to emphasize that this question is easy to answer by simply thinking "what have been some well-known historical currencies?"

People trade in materials, tools, food, livestock, and women.
Consequently cloud = bare metal; which agrees with the axiom that "it's not a cloud, it's just someone else's computer".
Stability is a mixed bag on GNOME. It's been a couple years but I was surprised last time I used GNOME to have Mutter crash back to gdm randomly while drawing due to a bug in graphics tablet code. I typically use SwayWM and while the graphics tablet support is nothing to write home about... It's very uncommon for it to segfault for me. My sessions in Sway tend to last months long, normally interrupted by rebooting for kernel updates or something like that. I do like that it can be extended with JS but that also ran me into all sorts of weird problems, more than it used to when GNOME was newer; I just want basic features like tray icons/app indicators...

(P.S.: I think I am probably the main user of graphics tablets in SwayWM, but if anyone had been using it, I'm sorry for the tool buttons being buggy in 1.8. It was my bug and it should be fixed in 1.9, fingers crossed, it looks like 1.9 will be hitting nixos-unstable later today for me to check.)
You absolutely can tell the CPU what to cache, and also what not to cache (such as PCIe memory-mapped registers), it's just that that's privileged instructions which no sensible multitasking operating system will let you have access to. Because it would have to be reset on every task switch.
Can you explain that? How is the workflow like Windows?

All I can see is some superficially Windows like defaults (good for newbies) in the initial look.

KDE has a lot of stuff very different from Windows - or at least Windows at the time I switched. Transparent sftp in all applications, highly customisable (I currently use window tiling, have a small icon only task switcher I hard use, window titles in the panel, I use multiple desktops, KRunner to launch/switch apps.....), very different file managers from windows, a excellent text editor that integrates nicely with everything else.

They do, but their resources are fairly limited so the methodology is abysmal. See https://blogs.gnome.org/shell-dev/2021/02/15/shell-ux-change... for an example. They don't so much test with end users as gather anecdotes (and then largely ignore test results that contradict their existing design guidelines anyway).

Simple HTML email template that works in outlook too
I am struggling to get my HTML email template to look good in outlook too.

Its a simple email just telling the user they need to confirm their email and a button to do that.
However in outlook the button doesnt show or doesnt look good.

Does anyone have a good template they could share?
(Fellow country man here!) That still sounds like a lot to be honest. According to the yearly stats we receive from our trash collector: in 2021 our family of 4 produced 27,50kg of non-recyclables. That's not per month or per person but for all of us for the whole year. Granted, no diapers anymore here; that takes quite some space (and weight, which is more important since we pay per kg).

We saw a significant drop after they started collecting plastics separately. We have a 120 litre bin that we put to the curb every two months or so. I don't quite understand what people are throwing out all the time that you can fill a large bin every week...
Ambrosia salad is very similar. Usually has coconut or marshmallows in there as well.

* other models beyond LLM: STT/TTS, OCR, vision

If you are interested, read further description and consider upvoting it on Product Hunt -> https://www.producthunt.com/posts/laminar-2
KDE seems to be the only DE that actually follows the rule "if it's not broken, don't fix it".

Everybody who remembers the KDE 3->4 transition will probably violently disagree with that. Hopefully that was an educational moment for the dev team and they've actually internalised that lesson.

edit: just realised that 3->4 transition was more than 15 years ago, which makes me feel very old...

Show HN: I built a tool to visualize and understand A/B tests results
I am a visual learner and I like interacting with things to build an intuitive understanding.

I decided to build a tool that lets you input and play with your A/B test data. It should help you understand how the number of users or the conversion rates visually impact the statistical significance.

I actually understood many things while playing with it in a new way, I could even find an interesting way to graphically show the p-value and really SEE what it meant.

Any feedback is appreciated.

I believe Edge has something like that now, though from what I've heard it works slightly differently.
Can confirm. Mistral 7B is subjectively comparable to GPT 3.5-Turbo, and the Elo scores at lmsys.org support this.
I don't know how much it affects priority, but they certainly accept bugs filed against older versions. Specifying versions is a big part of the form for a new bug, and they let you select versions going way back.

What I like about Go
On some CPUs architectures, the operand size for some instructions could be larger than an `int`, in which case the upper part of a CPU register would become invalid on overflow instead of containing an extension of the sign bit.

There are also CPUs that do "saturating arithmetic" where overflow results in INT_MAX instead of wrapping.
