I've definitely browsed the web on my Steam Deck when I wanted to install a fan patch to a game, but I imagine I am in a small minority. Pretty sure the Steam Deck doesn't even ship with a browser, since I remember manually installing Firefox. And booting into the desktop mode has its own friction, and it's not exactly a smooth experience to use a Linux DE on the touchpads / touchscreen. These days I actually just opt to download everything on my actual desktop computer and just SSH them to the Steam Deck.
have you actually listened to "kind of blue"? or (for e.g.) "sketches of spain"? i can't see how either could be classified as "some mess", though everyone's taste is different.
It's important to say that this isn't in the VCs interest either. As a VC, you want to keep the founders motivated to make you money and grow the pie - or at least to stay on and continue what they are doing. Taking away their personnel incentives through over boarding liquidation preferences is in neither side's interest.

This is even more true when it comes to future investments. Founders talk to each other. And articles, such as this one, get the word out. So - next time you're choosing a VC for your promising startup, will you go with the one that forced the last company into a sale that left them with nothing - or will you go with one with a more founder friendly track record?
If you wanted, you honestly could stay on X11 for the next decade. I highly doubt it's going anywhere. Also, no matter what your workflow is, you can write a program to do that. I'd guarantee you could write a small script to automate Wayland to do what you need
For desktop?

I was around 79 events and my CPAP was also life changing. But they’re not easy to get right.

First you need a mask that fits the profile of your face and the severity of your condition. There are a lot of different shapes and designs. Having tried a few, some were completely useless for me. Only one actually worked.

Facial hair also affects the performance of the mask too. I don’t know if this is something you need to be concerned about or not, but if you have a beard and wear a full mouth and nose mask, then you might want to consider a change of appearance.

Then you have the configuration of the CPAP machine itself:

+ how much pressure to apply?

+ what, if any, ramp up period to use before deep sleep pressure is applied?

Those two metrics took a bit of tuning before I found something I was comfortable with.

I was lucky that I had (and still have) an excellent doctor to guide me through all of this. Free from the UK NHS too. I can’t imagine having to navigate all of these caveats on my own.

Good luck with the CPAP machine. Not getting enough quality sleep can be debilitating. I’ve been in the same situation as you so understand how horrible life was before my CPAP machine.
A slightly unfortunate name for Spanish speakers, I'm afraid: "putero" can mean either "brothel" or "man who maintains sexual relations with prostitutes" [1].

Fun fact: the Mitsubishi Pajero had to be marketed as Montero in Spanish speaking markets as "pajero" is Spanish for "wanker" [2].

Off-topic, but does anyone know any good lawyers for enforcing the terms of open source licenses based in the EU?

Everyone we’ve used in the US doesn’t want to tackle something from Europe. They’ve recommended a firm but just figured I’d collect a range of opinions from here given the context.
Microsoft notoriously has major issues implementing new features or fixing bugs due to their commitment to backwards compatibility.

E.g. I've been told personally by Microsoft developers in the know that certain oddities or performance differences between POSIX and Windows come down to a handful of obscure but tricky test regression failures, and nobody could justify the time spent on bridging the gap. This was in the context of improving Git performance on Windows.

So even if Microsoft made the management decision tomorrow to ditch NT and ship Windows as a Linux distro, it's unclear how they could square that with backwards compatibility in a way that would result in overall cost savings for the foreseeable future.
Hello, Sweetie.
I did 15 minutes from front door to gate once when I lived 7 minutes from the airport.

Even Heathrow T5 it’s only 10 minutes from entering he building to getting to the gate, 15 it you’re in B or C gates. I’ve done 33 minutes from Paddington to a gate for a flight leaving T2 in the past.

The entire process when I flew from Spain on Sunday took 6 minutes from signing the rental car form to sitting next to the gate.
I kind of expect strangers to start talking about themselves if they are comfortable talking and not to talk when they dont feel like talking. I dont ask anything that can be considered private and let them pick what they want to talk about.

I’ve had the model 3 highland since it came out and still not used to it. Definitely a safety issue.

Turn signals and vipers including speed should be physical and not a non tactile button.

Love the car otherwise but kinda just want it with a screen that’s 1/3rd the size, CarPlay and speed and such in front of the wheel.

Never used Netflix or any of that stuff. Controlling music via your phone app is easier anyway, since you’re used to that interface.
The emulator could have been developed and released open source without the ability to decrypt Nintendo games, which (I believe) is a copyright violation and one side of the lawsuit. And also not put the latest emulator builds and private discord encouraging piracy behind a patreon paywall.

I have nothing against a Switch emulator existing at all, but making it conveniently easy for the masses to pirate games, condoning it in private spaces you manage, and profiting off the demand for the emulator due to that piracy are all against the ideas of preservation.
Can not fathom why the German military is relying on a commercial civilian platform to conduct its highly sensitive communications. It’s not that they can not develop their own software or infrastructure. All these things are readily available as open source. But building these things themselves will allow them to control from A to Z.

They can also opt for a distinct, more secure encryption protocol, which is guaranteed not being touched by the NSA & Co.
Airports are now giant shopping malls. The incentive is for you to hang out and be a good consumer. Too short, no shopping. Too long, they need more chairs, space and wifi.

FileVault encryption is on by default. The encryption key is derived from the login password and the login screen has delays to avoid brute-forcing the password.

Additionally, data in the flash chips are always encrypted by the unique key burned in the M chip (previously T2 secure enclave).
fwiw, in ASR/speech transcription world, it looks reverse to me - in the past, there was lots of custom non-ML code & separate ML models for audio modeling and language modeling - but current SOTA ASRs are all e2e, and that's what's used even in mobile applications, iiuc.

I still think the pendulum will swing back there again, to have even better battery/larger models on mobile.
I find Baltimore very quick in the US - I prefer to fly to/from BWI back to the U.K. than from IAD. The experience is all about how well staffed and equipped the airport is for the number of passengers.
I like listening to albums the way they were produced: starting from the first song until the last one.

This modern endless stream of curated playlists and singles is tiring, and loses the storytelling aspect of albums that makes them greater than the sum of its songs.

Or maybe I'm just getting old.
It's a Doctor Who reference to the episode “Blink”, which introduces a villain race of statues that can move, but only when unobserved.

Incoherent snippets of dialogue seen on a DVD turns out to be half of a conversation being had with a specific viewer in the future, a transcript of which goes back in time.
I am so tired of seeing touch everywhere in general. Not just in cars, but putting the touch buttons on the stove is such a fail. Water spills out of the pot and locks the stove or you can't even touch the buttons because they are too hot.
Considering that safari with my ad blockers blocked access to statscounter, I would be very suspicious that this percentage is much higher. The intersection between linux users and users who worry about privacy and know how to block trackers is big enough.

The free money era is over. It is time for that message to sink in for both founders and investors. VC funds want founders to shoot for the moon but protect themselves by a) having a portfolio b) liquidation preference. As a founder you don’t have either. VC funds are not investors, they are middlemen who take very little risk.
Ah, videography, that changes things. I only shoot stills, so I have no idea how video works.

And yes, not all vintage lenses are good. One has to go look for the good ones, usually the top line pro lenses of the day, those are still very good.

The one, cardinal thing about gear is so, once it hits a certain threshold of performance, e.g. "good" 4k video, whatever makes you feel good is great gear. Doesn't have to be the newest and shiniest, nor a specific brand or something.

My vintage glass so is neither soft nor sub-par, for my purposes, optically. Well, they do have a certain clarity to them, especially for blavk and white, that I like. I also know it is in my head, as I actually cannot tell those lenses apart from new glass by just looking at the pictures. I do like the incredible mechanical build quality so, they are master pieces of precision mechanics in all metal, and I like that feeling using them.

While not always true, there is a connection between price and quality: cheap / affordable products are generally less good than expensive ones, at the same time there can be incredibly good cheap products and crappy expensive ones, also the expensive ones can be bad value by virtue of being overpriced.

I heard good things about Fujinon, never tried them so.

Besides the horrible touchpad, screen (did you really get > 1080p for $1050?) and the plastic body

> I could have paid 3 times as much for a similarly spec'ed Macbook

I could get a desktop with even better specs for as much. Not exactly a fair comparison of course since different people have different needs (how much is never hearing the dans fans and a proper touchpad worth? Supposedly a lot to some people).

> and way more efficient than macOS).

Can you explain what do you even mean by that? Do you get better battery life than with an M series macbook after these “optimizations”?
There was this assumption that for high level tasks you’ll need all of the low level preprocessing and that’s not the case.

For example, machine translation attempts were morphing the parse trees , document summarization was pruning the grammar trees etc.

I don’t know what your high level task is, but if it’s just collecting names then I can see how a specialized system works well. Although, the underlying model for this can also be a NN, having something like HMM or CRF turned out to be unnecessary.
Thanks this was a great article. It really resonated with me when I have lots to do I often get overwhelmed and end up doing nothing. Instead of something.
It was probably sound and vibration in combination with less lag.

We had an older non-turbo car before the EV.

Code Review in the Rust Compiler
Vortex ring state is an extremely real danger with these craft, the computer is what stands between the occupant and a fiery death. Hence the concierge treatment.

There's no manual mode per se with something like a quadrotor, even a simple one requires really unintuitive applications of thrust to affect things like yaw. You could fly one in 'rate' mode though - where the stick deflection commands pitch/roll/yaw rates directly.

Unlike a 172, it's pretty unstable flown like that, and most people would turn such a craft into a smoking crater shortly.
I haven’t walked over tarmac from a terminal to a plane since

I did have a nominated seat though.

Every time I see one of these pop up, the thought that software engineers are forever trying to avoid knowledge, understanding, and wisdom with another layer of abstraction comes to mind.

I’m all in favor of a better HDL. Verizon/SystemVerilog is loaded with completely non-obvious landmines. I’ve been doing this so long I forget they are there, but it’s pretty painful seeing someone new to the language step on them. But the alternative, VHDL has largely fallen out of favor in the US.

You would be hard pressed to find a more strongly typed language than VHDL, but damn is it verbose. None of the footguns, but you might get an RSA before you finish typing the code in. If you have ever given Ada a try, VHDL will look pretty familiar.

I know this may be a weird thing for software folks to think about, but writing HDL is a tiny part of digital design. In digital design, if done with discipline, writing the HDL is an almost mechanical process of translating the design. In a design that might take a year, writing the code might be 3 weeks.

Done without discipline you will spend all your time debugging. Wondering why it worked in the lab an hour ago, but after lunch nothing works and you won’t be able to make sense of it.

Understanding basic combinational logic, then sequential logic, followed by state machines (which are the bread and butter of digital design), followed by understanding IO timing and timing constraints (a brain damaged “language” to itself) will take you far.

Domain crossing isn’t so bad if you have those fundamentals.

Then you can spend time learning algorithms other more interesting things. Writing low power software accelerators for neural nets and signal processing.

You can go through all the gyrations of language design in the world, but the language isn’t the hard part. There is a huge amount of improvement to be done, no doubt. But digital design is not the language.

If you want to make the world of digital design a better place, more open, easier to break into, work on tools, not languages. I’d give a kidney for an open source timing diagrammer that could do simple setup and hold checks, create derived signals through Boolean combinations of other signals, and emulate a flop.

I’d do it, but I’ve tried and programming a gui is about the most painful thing I’ve done on a computer. So much work for so little payoff.
The yuzu people were doing things that are morally reprehensible. From what I've heard:
* They managed a private discord with hired moderators that actively encouraged piracy.
* They saved important releases to coincide with major game releases like TOTK. These releases would include performance optimizations and bug fixes specifically for those games.
* These important releases would initially only be available behind a patreon paywall (like the private discord), so they actively profited off people trying to get the latest release specifically for pirating the latest games.
Nothing stops them from doing both together. Put 8GB or 16GB on the APU package and then have a couple of SODIMM slots for more. The more wouldn't have the same bandwidth but it doesn't need to, because you're using it for browser tabs and filesystem cache, to keep that stuff out of the fast memory and preserve it for what needs it.

Moreover, they could put the APU in a socket and then if you wanted more of the integrated memory you could replace the APU without having to replace the entire machine.
ipfs can be inaccessible due ipfs bridges blocking the request.
I rented a fully specced out Tesla Model S, once. That's not a cheap car. But the turn signal controls were shitty no-feedback buttons.

I don't understand how anyone plowing six digits into a car finds that acceptable. It's a dealbreaker for me.

On top of that there were other "virtualizations" of controls, that just made the car feel like a cheap shitty plastic toy.
Your parents sound shitty but not for the 'no tv' rule tbh.
What virtualisation extensions in XP? There’s extensions on the intel and AMD COUs. And Windows Server has a product called hyper-v. But there’s nothing provided by Microsoft to support XP being a virt host.

VirtualBox manages that itself.

Plus, like with Chrome, VBox still needs to write to the display, and hook into the hosts TCP/IP stack. And like with Chrome, a zero day in the hypervisor could allow sandboxed code to escape the confines of the virtual machine.
Yes things that were broken for me by default are explorer, notepad (using it with files over a network), calendar pop up, and start menu. And don't get me started on the UI of the sound/battery/network widget.

I'm a trained classical music composer and it's shameful how little of music I ever listen. I usually have couple of songs that are in a power play but I very seldom listen any other music. On a contrary I have melodies and song ideas playing in my head all the time. But I'd sure like to find more time to listen through the classics from time to time.

Is it technically possible to guarantee program-agnostic mouse gesture support in Wayland? I would sorta expect wlroots to support it, but I don't think that is a safe bet for an arbitrary Wayland compositor.
Nobody has access to that data, even if you're excluded it to extreme cases like "an at-fault crash happening as the user was manipulating the map software directly". We can't bridge the gap between that and accident reports.

And that doesn't get into the more subtle cases, e.g. a crash that happens later due to an earlier loss of situational awarenesses.

It's also hard to quantify the opposite. E.g. I sometimes have to manipulate the map while driving, and resent the distraction. But afterwards I'm more likely to be in the right lane earlier, not be distracted because I'm trying to read a traffic sign in the 1-2 second window I might have etc.

I have FTTH and I am in the process of installing fiber connections in all the rooms of my apartment. I am using single mode fiber with 2x fiber connections to each room.

I am going to run them at 1 Gbps for now and upgrade to 10 Gbps in a few months when I 'I'll buy some better equipment.

I don't need huge speeds for now, but I want something future proof and since I am renovating the apartment, it was a good occasion.
> we didn't really have a concept of cringe like we have today

We didn't use the word in the same syntactical manner - things make you cringe, or are cringeworthty - but I can assure you that my very British mother was using the word properly to refer to the same kind of things back then.

(And as a UK teen back then... yes, I cringed at the term!)

So they raised $416M and sold for $465M. That's 12% ROI. The investors could just buy normal stocks and get similar returns in a year. I don't think there is anything remarkable about this case. It's not like they got a $100K grant and received nothing from a $500M sale.
Right about now KDE is moving to Wayland. KDE Plasma 6 released a week ago will use Wayland by default, with X11 being an opt in mode. I think that X11 while it might exist for the next decade, it will at best be a second class citizen, at worst a buggy and unsupported mess
