I also recently tried chicago95, it seems to have some issues with the latest Xfce version, so if you see your notification area icons have squares around them, there is a workaround on the GitHub issues page of the project.

When I used the workaround, the taskbar lost its 3D border effect, so I recovered that by using a background image that is 1 pixel wide and has the correct colors to have the 3D effect. It’s better if you use something like Xubuntu 22.04 first to see how it should look like without this bug.
Not yours, bro. :) They would claim you are not a True Scotsman because you do not blindly accept the C02 hypothesis.
If the model doesn't refuse to produce output, it's not censored anymore for any practical purpose. It doesn't really matter if there are "censorship neurons" inside that are routed around.

Sure, it would be nice if we didn't have to do that so that the model could actually spent its full capacity on something useful. But that's a different issue even if the root cause is the same.
This makes no sense? If employers could replace high paid workers with minimum wage on-mass after minimum wage law then why didn't they just replace them with even cheaper workers before minimum wage law?

Fun thing about the Noah 'story' is that the exact same story is present in Hinduism.

It goes something like, God selected a righteous person to help humanity survive the flood. He has this individual built a big ship in which humanity and animals can survive. The only difference in the story is that God took a form of small fish which grew larger as the flood date came close. In the end it became so big that it was able to steer the big ship during flood waves.

Totally agree - even that "shift+" support makes me nervous, but I'd probably concede it! The "<p><br></p> in the Quill example looks... awkward.
Nice theory but where is your evidence?

The reality is that the minimum wage has hugely boosted incomes for the least well off - https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/27/minimum-wage...

And the real issue is that wages have stagnated since the 2008 financial crisis with many people receiving below inflation pay rises e.g. medical staff being 35% worse off in real terms - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/mar/20/uuk-workers...

Some companies pay more that the minimum wage as they’re competing for staff e.g. supermarkets, and the more people are paid the lower in work benefits will cost

Wasn't the OS made to be used by people for real and not just as a toy?

Could people use it for real? As a daily driver to get things done? (A real product)

I do not think so, so what do you think what was the point of TempleOS then?
5k+ issues and 1,1k+ pull requests. Someone must be busy there.

But if you want to manage that amount of things and and distribute the work, you need to keep accepting PRs.

And at that point, the project will start to become extremely complex if the pace is too high, unless there is someone who enforces strict standards for every PR.

There is a risk that it slows down the process and reduces the amount of contributions.
Interesting article and it fits in well with other things I have read about Apple prioritising aesthetics over usability such as articles by Don Norman and Bruce Tognazzini that have been discussed on HN before.

This annoyed me though:

> there is a prob­lem that I call the “Japanese Sword Fallacy”: The Japanese made the best swords in the world, far better ones than anyone else. They were lighter, yet sturdier than their western counter­parts, sharp like a razor and so forth.

That is not actually true. They had more amazing sword marking techniques, but these were only needed at all to compensate for the lower quality of their steel. Everyone else (at least Europe, Middle East, South Asia - probably other places too) had at least equally good swords, but because their steel was better the swords were easier to make.
When we throw a tennis racket with spin about one specific axis we cannot predict the tumbling motion .. that's weather.

What we can do is predict the arc of motion of the centre of gravity .. that's climate.

It's a no-brainer that anybody who confuses the two and hasn't put in the work to raise their understanding to intermediate axis instability is below the bar for admission to grown up climate modelling discussions.

One thing that makes TempleOS less approachable is the extreme idiosyncrasy of some of its design decisions - e.g. limiting it to 640x480 with 16 colours even though supporting higher resolution and colour depth would have been little extra work, an intentionally very garish user interface, refusing to implement any networking support for ideological reasons. It was never going to be a mainstream OS, but it might have attracted a larger community of tinkerers if it were not for those decisions. (There are forks which improve some of these aspects, but a fork is never going to be as popular as the original.)

That said, extreme idiosyncrasy is relatively common in schizophrenia.
Why does this article repeat itself so much? It's not even subtle; there are multiple paragraphs that are followed with a paraphrase of themselves:

Migration jobs preserve custom object metadata from the source bucket by copying them on the migrated objects on R2 and do not delete any objects from the source bucket.

> Initially released last year with support exclusively for Amazon S3, Super Slurper is a migration service that enables developers to transfer their data to R2 either in one comprehensive transfer or gradually. The service now extends its compatibility to Google Cloud Storage as a source.

I struggle with the idea of tourism being a good basis for an economy. At some point you reach a level where the appeal is outweighed by crowding, and the experiences people want are no longer available.

Correction: Only the white males.
Good for you, honestly. As a side note, computer science forums are one of the few places where you get posts like this. I like hanging out on HackerNews because I can talk to people like you.
Which is why Víctor Martín in the article is quoted as saying:

“The problem isn’t the tourists,” he said. “It’s a model that was built around – and with the connivance of – a business class that doesn’t want to listen to what needs to be done, and with a political class that serves that business class instead of serving all the citizens.”

At the company I work for we adopted Wordpress about 2 years ago, I was the engineer responsible for the implementation which required developing some custom blocks for the marketing team to use and we have a workshop registration offering that uses woocommerce for online payments.

The Wordpress actions and filters approach is solid and if you use an IDE like phpstorm it gives an amazing development experience because you can simply “search through autocomplete” possible hooks and read/check which one is better, the other main thing is you can always debug what’s happening as Wordpress php code base is extremely good.

Now for the block editor, what really helped me was copilot and ChatGPT , the documentation for Gutenberg is not the best so sometimes you had to go through the GIT repository to understand how some things should be done, but for the “initial push” on how to approach a block development generative AI is a really good help.

I honestly like Wordpress a lot, the security part is for me one of the drawbacks, you need to keep updating it along with the plugins. But, for a modern good looking and versatile blog , writing in Wordpress and pushing the generated pages to a static website host like GitHub pages is awesome :)
The question is why more people have not done it.

A bit like picassos answer to someone saying to him about his art "I could have done that!!" being "why haven't you?"

I would put templeos at the same level as art in that it's the creation and life rather than the craft or utility. Or in other words there is something transcendental about the project which would go beyond (but not technically) something a competent systems programmer should write as a hobby.

Art Vs craft has more of an artist inside of it. Noone else could have written templeos.

playwrights have won in the past so in principle it could happen. The problem is that the way tv and movies are made today, there really isn't one person you can point to as 'the screenwriter' of a movie. Between writing rooms, script doctors, rewrites and on set changes, it's hard to give one person credit for the words and actions that end up on screen.

The other aspect is the for whatever reason there simply is no culture as it were around reading movie scripts, the way there is around reading plays or even song lyrics.

> what was the point of TempleOS

From what I’ve seen from videos where Terry was talking about TempleOS, it seems that a large part of the point of the OS and the programs that shipped with it was as a way of “talking to god”. Where he’d run a program and it would generate some random output and he said that those were words from god. I have to assume that this was very much because of his condition. Either way, a temple to god is part of what this OS was. TempleOS.

Furthermore, TempleOS validated many of his ideas of how an OS could be built differently from how many other OSes are made.

TempleOS is like a modern day Amiga or Commodore 64 operating system.

And I could easily imagine a world in which TempleOS was distributed preinstalled on some kind of non-networked home computer that they could have in Sunday schools around the world, as a tool for bible study and as a way of learning about computers, engaging youth who are interested in technology.

I also have almost 25 years under my belt in total, now, and I consider myself very successful. Yet I am a very different person than the author here. A lot of the points don't resonate with me.

I have reached every career goal I wanted, and more. I've been promoted past my goal. I have been and still am very well paid (this was also never a direct goal for me). I shipped some impressive stuff.

If science is tackling these questions then it's most likely doing so by making non-falsifiable claims. And at that point it's doing philosophy rather than science.

And if you want to disagree with the definition of science that I'm using here then that's OK. But at that point, you're also doing philosophy.

And all of this is fine because there's nothing wrong with doing philosophy. It's not just a word for "the stuff I don't like".

> Let’s be clear: schizophrenia does not cause racism

Depends on the type of racism. If it's a false sense of superiority - probably the most common type of racism - well, maybe. But if it's the belief that some type of people are hostile to you for some reason, and your personality makes it so that you return it, then it is a persecutory delusion, just like conspiracy theories.

When you read the post, it does sound slightly deranged, but if you check the links, they're not actually as bad as they sound.

If everybody agrees, you won't get the kind of conflict about company choices that this is about, so obviously there is a disagreement. But that disagreement doesn't have to be between "leadership" and "employees". It doesn't have to be a culture war, or about "SJW"s. It may really just be about _how far_ you can go in your advocacy in the workplace.

It's quite possible that there are still lots of internal discussions about Google's engagement with various governments.
But there are limits to how you can express your displeasure, and there should be.
You can be too antagonistic, too aggressive, to the point where you _do_ appear threatening or disparaging to your coworkers, and that is not ok.

In the end, it is a place of work, and every other _worker_ should be able to feel safe. Because they have to be there too.
That's the line that you shouldn't cross when advocating or demonstrating in the workplace.

Whether you're political or vegan, don't call your coworkers names for disagreeing with you. Any words you sling in your protest, assume that some of your coworkers will be hit by them.
Even if you think anyone believing what they believe must be "bad people", you were the one to break the truce and start a conflict in the workplace if you say, fx, "all meat eaters are morally bankrupt".

You have to work with those people again afterwards. And they have to work with you. And maybe they no longer want to.

> The projections are that population decline will hit the whole world, it's just hitting developed nations first.

And that's a serious problem for the rest of the world! It's not a problem for the US, or any other country rich enough that people are clamoring to immigrate.

Sure, the world will eventually run out of people I guess. But there are so many people who want to come here, that time is exceedingly far away. And population decline is okay if it happens very slowly.

Edit: I'm not against the other policies you listed, I just don't think we need them because of "population decline" specifically. I'm not convinced they would even help with population decline, because families with higher incomes--ie more access to childcare, housing, and so on--are having fewer kids just like everyone else. Immigration, by contrast, really will quite transparently address the need for more people.
