In practical terms, ChromeOS is radically different from every other Linux (desktop) distro. The usecase is very different, and the day to day handling of the system is also very different.

It makes sense to track ChromeOS in it's own category.
You can configure and even turn off external url handlers in Chromium.

But even if you didn’t, the attack becomes even more difficult and niche here because now you’re looking for a machine running a specific version of $email_client on a specific version of Windows. This is something that you can’t even use browser fingerprinting to detect.

I'm entirely on board with this rant. That the XL means anything other than "extra large" is news to me.
Not the OP, but we can probably do better than this:

I'm not really writing that to stir up js framework shit, mostly just commenting on the insane dedication to ideals needed to go "fuck it i'll just use jQuery" on a project of this scope. At least, from my brainlet dev perspective, a move like this is 100% boss level.
Most of the confusion would be avoided by simply changing the article to:
"GNU/Linux Crosses 4% Market Share Worldwide"
You realize this statement is racist?
How crazy does the headline make it sound? They're a book store that got into the online cloud business. They got into the chip design business. I don't know the industries to know whether it would make sense for them to buy power stations, but it doesn't sound outright crazy like Nike buying the Hoover Dam would.
Once Linux can run all my favorite games and future games I will uninstall windows forever.

If we’re talking about support for external displays this all seems entirely tangential.

> When they design a product they don’t start from the specs, they start from how people use the product.

So they impose arbitrary limitations that have basically nothing to do with the specs just so that people who are supposed to use more expensive machines wouldn’t buy the cheaper models? Sounds about right.

Apple is trying to maximize their revenue because they can. There is nothing wrong about a for profit company doing that. Trying to find any other explanation is a bit silly though..

Show HN: Miniogre – minimalist way to dockerize a Python application
miniogre is a minimalist way to dockerize any local Python application. It is open-source and contributions are welcomed.

No requirements file? It generates one for you
No Dockerfile? It takes care of it
No README file? It can draft one for you
No SBOM file? It's got you covered

`pip install miniogre`

I just wanted a straightforward way to type a command in the terminal (`miniogre`) and have all the Python dependencies figured out from the code. On top of that, I wanted everything containerized and ready to be shipped.

If the students using AI to write the essays is cheating, isn't this cheating too?

In my experience, it's important to show the student's you care about their work. For example, I prefer to write the homework in the balckboard instead of giving them a photocopy. If I waste 10 minutes coping the homework and another 10 giving general feedback and more with personalized feedback, (some of) them get the message that homework is important.
Contrary to popular belief, China does not give a damn about what any random particular individual reads or even writes. It's not exactly an efficient use of resources to jail everyone who says something they find objectionable on the Internet. China's censorship and punishment mostly aims at maintaining the legitimacy of the Communist Party.
This is an incredibly unhinged rant that has nothing to do with anything, but seems to have been triggered by the mention of tv. Are you okay?

It's probably also related to them not wanting to make Signal selfhostable. The server (and client) code is open source[0] but is reliant on an external SMS service to be self-deployed (as well as AWS for file storage, GCM and APN for push notifs but those aren't nearly as much of a barrier; AWS has numerous FOSS reimplementations while for GCM you can use ntfy), something which Signal devs have stated they don't want to happen (since providing libsignal implementations is, as far as I understand, part of how Signal makes money).

SMS is afaik the only real barrier they have to preventing that.

A lot of games are only on PS5 and Xbox S/X, not available on PC or other platforms. So if it's exclusive only to other securely walled gardens, they still don't need to bother.

It's weird that Tesla is being called out over the horn.

In driver's ed they tell you to not to use your horn when you're annoyed at other drivers - only use it if there's an imminent danger to avoid a crash.

But you better hope it works because if it doesn't, the airbag behind it explodes.

I'm not sure Tesla improved the situation, but it definitely seems like the situation has room for improvement.

I must say I don't understand your stance against extending the use of language to machines. Are you also arguing that "flying" should be reserved for birds and cannot be meaningfully applied to airplanes?
Good, balanced article -- Ozempic is coming for gyms maybe in the weight loss segment, but looking good after you've lost weight is 100% in their domain.

> But gyms are still about building muscle, too. One common side effect for some patients taking these medications is muscle loss. So gyms are now starting to market their brands to existing members who say they are on GLP-1s, and hoping they can add memberships in the future as people on these medications seek to keep and build muscle.

While concerns of muscle mass loss from Ozempic/other GLP1 Receptor Agonists have been somewhat overblown, it's always good to do resistance training during weight loss for shaping the body.

The hedonistic treadmill is still running -- people are going to desire chiseled bodies after slimmer ones.

> People taking GLP-1s are “going to want the right professional facilities and professional personal trainers and nutritionists to help them,” said Bahram Akradi, the CEO of Life Time, on an earnings call Wednesday. “We are confident that this [GLP-1] mega trend will be particularly positive for Life Time.”

Another thing on which they are slightly burying the lede -- people who are on GLP1 currently have excess income.

> JPMorgan last year said that current GLP-1 users purchased around 8% less food — including snacks, soft drinks and high-carb products — over the prior year, compared with consumers who were not on these drugs.

> Food giant Nestlé plans to invest more in nutritious products that it says provides “benefits” to people on GLP-1 treatments, such as its Opifast high-protein shakes.

The even bigger buried lede! Junk food companies are about to have to adapt QUICKLY.
According to Steam hardware survey https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=linux 35% of Steam Linux users have "AMD AMD Custom GPU 0405" (the custom amd chip used by steamdeck). ~1 year ago it was 21%. That gives an upper bound of 35% from those 4% being Steamdeck. Although actual fraction is probably lower because:

* not every Linux user plays games or uses Steam, but probably almost all Steamdeck users use Steam.

* StatCounter numbers are based on website views. You can browse web on steamdeck but it's not very convenient, so I guess that, unless it's their only computing device and they have connected external monitor and mouse, most steamdeck users do most of their web browsing using their phone or computer instead of steamdeck.

It's less the airlines being cautious
(like they finally started being
over Ukraine, but not until MH17)

You are misrecalling the chronology. Some airlines such as British Airways were avoiding that airspace before MH17 was shot down, it was making the news beforehand. Other airlines such as Malaysia Airlines continued rolling the dice on flying in an active warzone.

What changed after MH17 was that avoiding it was mandated by the relevant authorities.
Modern music albums aren't really written with that in mind in my experience. They're optimised for people skipping through playlists in a streaming service, not going on a journey through an album.

Won't be going back to Signal anytime soon, too secure (lost important stuff due to their poorly designed backup system) for me. But this has always been why I claimed Signal can't be trusted and I'm glad I can't say that anymore.

Assuming of course that you can use Signal on the desktop with usernames without ever involving a mobile app. If they haven't fixed that then I'm leaving them in the untrusted bin.

I like some of it, but I agree with you on most of jazz. Kind of Blue is great though. It really is something special.

But as I say, I agree with you on most other Jazz though. And I'm convinced that about 80% of the people that go around saying they love jazz are just pretending to.

Also, along with Bluegrass, jazz is SO closed off to people who'd like to join in and play with a group. It's filled with gatekeepers and judgemental jerks. For instance, criticizing you for bringing a guita they don't agree with, "you can't play jazz with that, go home and get another something else there, Eddie Van Halen". Seriously, it can be that bad.

No, it doesn't. It shows that Apple's RAM offerings have grown at widely different rates depending on their product. Apple has been stingy on memory compared to the broader industry. The biggest EC2 instance you could get in 2013 had 244GB of memory, but today you can get one with over 24TB of memory.

...and that still proves nothing about the growth of RAM usage in that time period, because the size of the offerings in individual products are largely independent of the increases in RAM usage.
Good luck with that. The world runs on billions of lines of C/C++. And new C/C++ projects are started every day.

Howso? I use Brave. If I install Brave in their Linux system, it appears like a native app. It runs and reports as Linux. It doesn't even know it's on ChromeOS. I imagine Firefox is the same.
I don't feel like MS ecosystem is that attractive to consumers. In enterprise for sure, everyone uses Teams, Outlook and MS Office, and Azure is popular for hosting. But in most people's personal lives it's smartphones that are most utilized, which naturally draws people to Google's and Apple's ecosystems.

Only reasons I even bother to install Windows are gaming and MS Office provided by my university.
12+12GB doesn't result in a power of 2. 8+24GB does, but there are no 24GB DDR4 SODIMMs to make it with, so that's only possible with DDR5. Moreover, even though that is possible, you can then look at the specs to confirm that it isn't the case, having already filtered out all of the junk where it clearly is the case, e.g. when the machine has 40GB.
This is disingenuous.

Most popular Wii games had significantly different control schemes than what is available on a standard PC. Afaik, dolphin was primarily used for things like Smash Bros but other system sellers like Wii Sports, Wii fit, and LoZ: Skyward Sword just wouldn't work at all. Even Mario Kart was typically played with motion controls, because that was new and exciting for home consoles at the time.

Contrast that to the Switch where most system sellers can be played on a standard controller without a gyroscope, the threat to their bottom line is much higher.
They set up a company (LLC) to (presumably) manage the funding. I think the last patreon earnings were around 40k per month or so, but who knows what other means of acquiring money they had with that LLC. I'm sure they didn't pull out that $2.4m from thin air. It might be more than what they actually earned, but then again, their target is a company not a single individual so it makes sense that the total settlement is higher.

These are not a couple of hackers interested in coding an emulator for fun. It was a commercial venue designed to extract enough money to earn the main devs a comfortable living. That's a whole different goal.

I hate Nintendo for their takedowns and lawyers like everyone else on HN, but I tend to side with them in this case.

As we are now down-under I will mention: Wisetech Global. I was too late to make anything meaningful over 3 years there, but it was transparent and very generous, and they made it as tax efficient as legally possible in Australia. If you joined in say 2009, grabbed some shares for 3 years you would probably be in the high 100ks at IPO, and millions if you held until now (but you could have also made those millions as a retail investor using your super or something too!). I sold too early :-(

Also $currrent_company which I wont reveal. Run as well as Wisetech in terms of growth focus. Got some options. Learnt lesson. HODLing these fuckers to zero or "very interesting" levels lol!

I saw Rush the other week (film about James Hunt and Nikki Lauda) and that reminded me that F1 used to have cars with 6 wheels to which I thought "take me back" even though that was before I was born. As an example in contrast today you have tires made as poorly as possible. Why shouldn't you have a gas guzzler if you think you can justify the weight of fuel, or the extra time cost of refueling? Refueling, do you remember that? I don't watch anymore after seeing how the sausage is made.
I started browsing some of snohetta.com's designs... my brain could barely comprehend how astounding and magnificent some of their designs are. Truly amazing stuff.
Two scenarios on my part.

Recently we wanted to play Minecraft. I had to install fresh windows.

I found ISO laying on nas. Installed it. Run update, after fifteen minuts and two reboots update told me everything is up to date.

We tried to run several programs, but no luck. Some dll error with missing entrypoints. Installed several cpp runtimes, dotnet frameworks, still no luck.

The we installed Minecraft, but from a page since app shop was not working. Minecraft said we are missing critical updates and it fetched some.

Then windows update was able to find new updates, we had to go through more reboots, and twice i had to select correct privacy settings, because Microsoft likes my data so much.

It took days to correctly install windows. Could have been easier if I used up to date image.

Second scenario is also about minecraft. On windows it wanted me to create window account for my kids. Required kid account to be working, and there were some issues that it said that windows pin does not work, we could not change it on the machine. I think we managed to change it online by some Xbox online, or other Microsoft page. These pages are just a maze of accounts, setups, game passes.

In the end it was easier just to run it on linux, and put just username and password. No advanced admin account management required.
It runs a linux kernel, which makes it a Linux based OS. It probably integrates a lot of linux stuff too, and it of course comes with virtualization support (leveraging the support for this in linux) to run proper linux applications and development tools, etc.

It's big enough to be worth counting separately though. Interesting that regular linux now has twice the market share of Chrome OS.
I think there are valuable positions to take in between “let’s manipulate the DOM by hand” and “React Server Components, NextJS and the kitchen sink”.

I personally think there’s great value in the pattern of reactivity where parts of your DOM update based on bits of data. Developing, designing and testing components like this becomes way simpler.
Same thing happened to my friend. In the 90s sometime his dad just asked if his kid could go and they said sure and pointed him out all the buttons and the controls.
