My biggest curiosity is how easy it hard it will be to use their UI widgets for third party software and release on other DE.

I like the idea of writing more apps with Rust and if the ergonomic fit is better than alternatives, this could be a great way Forward. Bridging themes with gnome/gtk in the other direction likely a necessity for that use case.

My only other concern is getting kde tray apps to work out of the box. With budgie/Gnome, I've had to install an add on for that.

Not that I have a lot of things needing the integration. Variety and Dropbox being the main ones for me.

It's also annoying when Windows don't have a corresponding handle in the taskbar.

If they deal with these annoyances well, I'll be more than happy with the next Pop release.
My intuition is there's some fundamental equivalence between time and some information-theoretic concept unknown to me. McTaggart might have been right to recognize the importance of change, but the card exercise is also fundamentally representational, and therefore informatic, in nature. A different card exercise that's maybe more realistic is one where you have an infinite number of cards, randomly shuffled, and are tasked with sorting them in order. Is that even possible? It seems to me the possibility of that versus impossibility of that is related to the nature of time.
Billing is automated. What support? S3 doesn't care whether it serves a PB of Epic traffic or from thousands of small customers, it's all automated. There is no actually reasonable explanation for the service being 10-100 times more expensive than greed.
They're very intelligent for sure, but their neurons are also a lot bigger. About 500 million neurons in an octopus (whole body) vs 86 billion in a human (just the brain.)
Sorry, I don't see in that thread where the exception is coming from. Can you be more explicit?
So you can't imagine how it evolved therefore you pick an even more unimaginable possibility with no evidence at all.

I mean maybe an ancient alien wizard did it. Should we credit the alien magi instead?

I agree about the performance/efficiency and have a strong desire to make my own games run as fast as possible. That being said, one big advantage of engines for me is cross platform deployment and testing. On my own I'd have to create various toolchains and fight issues during the build process. With an engine it's usually a couple setup steps once then click a button to build/deploy/test. I only have so much free time, I'd rather use it to add features or gameplay than fight to get things running across every platform I want to deploy on.
As a hiring manager, I personally wouldn't hire any of them.
After a bout of psychosis I was told by a psychiatrist treating me that acute psychotic episodes are physical events with lasting structural consequences in the brain. The more you have the more likely you are to have more of them.

Which all makes sense, but I don't think is part of the general awareness of these conditions. I get the feeling that most people think of them as "only" mental experiences.
Thanks for sharing an ISA success story. Lots of us who used to teach at Lambda back in the day only did it because we wanted the ISA to succeed widely as a tuition payment mechanism.

That dream hasn't been realized, and certainly wasn't by Lambda, but I still hold out hope.
Talking to some disconnected sets of people who are much more layman and not computer users, when I speak of some cool new AI app, they look at me with eyes of perversion and somewhat disgust with fear.

The way the information has been coming out and sold of ai to pump up stock prices is to the detriment of public opinion. Curious to see how things go.
Many jurisdictions do require prices to be clearly displayed for goods, but services are a different beast. You have limited resources to deliver these services, customer needs can be complex, and differ across regions.
That license is what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhaoxin use to produce their x86 chips, now.
Right now, Poland, the Baltics and Romania fear Russian agression and are very much opposed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This is the present reality and that at some point in the past other nations were more feared than Russia is of no consequence on the present reality.

Russia is a personalist dictatorship. It's actions are at the whims of it's dictator. It does not matter what actually happened historically to understand the present reality. What does matter is how one person views history and how that influences his decisions. But this only matters as it pertains to predicting his reactions/actions.

For instance if Putin beleives that the U.S. is the cause of all that is wrong in Europe then it doesn't matter if he is right/wrong. What matters is that he believes this and acts on this belief. Knowing his view of history is important but it in no way has any bearing on wether or not nations fear Russia at this moment in time.
"Nothing to hide, eh? Write a post on a social network of choice detailing when are you not home, a photo of your key to the door, and a credit card details."
Taken in isolation it’s an interesting point, but with the long history of every evangelical saying the same thing for two hundred years and being found to be wrong, a lot less interesting.
Indeed. Good accessibility benefits everyone, even the non-disabled people. And that's even before we start the whole discussion on how everyone will be disabled at one point or another in their lives and so on :)
In the modern context "clout" is just social credit within a specific group, which has no broader value.

2 flour and 1 water, it doesn't have leavening or salt by design so you just mix it and roll it out until it's wafer thin and prick holes in it so make sure it stays flat. Then you bake it in a really hot oven.

The high temperature is great when you bake a lot in a row since it lets you work fast, but for home baking maybe an airfryer is an economical alternative.

That's begging the question, unless you have evidence that they did something else that falls under defacing or vandalism.
It depends which side you think has the responsibility to be candid and informed, the business or the consumer. While I'm all for informed consumers making good decisions, I believe there is also room to acknowledge the sheer amount of shit a consumer, today, must be informed about in order to properly operate in all the markets they are more or less required to. And with that in mind, I err more on the side that a business should be transparent about it's pricing and policies because the business is looking to make a profit. Informing your customer about your product used to be a very normal thing. A lot of sales training in the days of yore was about assessing customer needs and tailoring products to meet them. Now it seems to be a mad dash to get as many as you possibly can as quickly as you possibly can with as little work as possible.

I have a strong dislike of the notion that the only way for customers to avoid being taken for a ride is that they have to know things about the businesses they are interacting with. I ask you: why should we permit this? Why do customers need to be experts on how their data is used to avoid it being done, or worse still, have to pay for the privilege of not being surveilled? What is the gain in that decision for larger society?
My first thought was "oh no the interview fakes", but then I realized - what if they just kept using the face? Would I care?

Agree with this. When I can take an EV from Colorado across Nebraska into Iowa on one charge they’ll be ready in my eyes. The range right now just isn’t useful. There are also barely any charging stations along this route, if at all.
Thanksfully in many cities in the world regular taxis do still operate. In my city they aren't necessarily more expensive than Uber. It depends of the kind of route and time of the day/night. Sometimes you pay more, sometimes you pay less.

Marshmallow test assumes the payoff exists and is worth it. Does it? Is it? IDK and I don't want to waste time finding out. I'm far more interested in information-dense sources that let me find out if I want to know what it's offering. That's why journal articles have abstracts.
Israel is an apartheid state. And this comes from prominent Israeli human rights organizations (https://www.btselem.org/topic/apartheid), journalists (i.e., listen to what Gideon Levy says about Israeli society), and ex-soldiers (google "breaking the silence). It's occupier. It is recognized by the international community as an occupying power. There are decades and decades of documented violence against Palestinians. And we will see in the future trials upon trials for current Genocide.
Meta (at the time Facebook) decided to provide it's services for free at the time of inception of the product. The EU did not force their hand and they're free to stop providing services to EU users at a time of their choosing.

I find it rather amusing how the notion that a business that can't make money in a given region is so wholly incompatible with your thought processes that you just jump immediately to "the EU is trying to get them to operate for free!" Like just... what if Facebook just wasn't in Europe? Like... that would be fine. The planet would continue spinning, Facebook would still make shit tons of money. It's honestly kind of wild how committed you are to this one shitty product remaining available in this one region.
>This could be solved with more EU integration, and with less economical protectionism at the national level

Absolutely no chance, especially on how right wing and nationalistic the EU elections are swinging lately. We'll just see more national protectionism. That's the problem with the EU. It's not one country where all the resources are pooled, like the US or China, but an alliance of several fiefdoms where each of them wants to be king and won't hesitate to backstab the rest (see abusing veto rights) to gain a perceived advantage with populists back home at the expense of everyone else's monetary disadvantage. The constant political squabbling between members is bittern than tooling up and going to war like in the old days, but it's holding us back compared to US and China.

>For example I am working for a successful startup in Belgium.

Would you recommend moving to Belgium for a career in SW development as a non Speaker of Dutch or French? I'm not looking for a fancy big-tech career or to change the world or make insane wealth but just to work in a leisurely environment with no stress and enjoy life.

That would be very nice. My suspicion is that a certain amount of work from the former owner, or from someone who is very knowledgeable about that type of object, is required to explain the value of the item to a potential buyer. Somehow the objects themselves are not the limiting factor (trash is full of good stuff that mostly stay there, because there is no one to do this work).

It could work if the item was originally bought on Amazon and one could just point to the original listing, though.
Why "Snowmobile"? How does that relate to a truck full of data?

This is a somewhat generally accepted theory. (I don't have sources handy, though.)

What makes modern matzah hard is the flour/water ratio. When more water is added, the bread is also softer. The issue with soft matzah is that it spoils quickly, and if you need bread for 7 days you need to make matzah during Passover.

Okay, you say, so make some matzah on Passover, right? But matzah is tricky, because if enough time passes between mixing the water and flour, it is considered leavened. (This is a religious definition, not a physical one.) Merely owning leavened bread is prohibited, so European Jews made dry matzah to prevent unfortunate slip-ups.

This custom started within the last few hundred years (again, I don't have sources, so I'm not sure about exact dates). Yemenite Jews still use soft matzah.

Edit: part of the Passover story mentions Hillel, who would wrap matzah around his Passover offering and bitter herbs. This definitely indicates soft matzah, but is much later than the Exodus itself.
Every now and then I see something like this upvoted on HN and wonder, "What the heck?" Feels odd to see something get to the front page with 23 votes and 1 comment when I can't understand what it's trying to convey. [Especially that ratio of votes to comments seems pretty rare, particularly on more confusing/philosophical posts.]

I'd love if anybody upvoting this would spare a thought on what you're taking away from this.
I mean that it appears that octopus “cognition” — dangerously a word we control and can easily twist to only apply to us — is almost necessarily more complex than human cognition, if for no other reason than they seem to have distributed their “thinking” — another dangerously solipsistic word — into their arms and out into their body, well away from merely their brains.
I don't know how scientifically factual this is, it was presented as such but it's hard to believe it in a literal sense but there's a Benn Jordan video called "How The World SOUNDS To Animals" about how different animals perceive time differently. Like flies perceive life many times more slowly than we do which is, allegedly, why they seem to get away when we swat at them, no matter how quickly we move.

If that's true, I'd expect they just perceive time more slowly than we do which is why they're able to appear so much more quick. I still agree they've got a lot going on in those brains I just think this aspect of it is interesting!

Agreed.
I think we are just now starting to have the software maturity to handle something like Itanium. We have toolchains with data flow analysis, languages other than C which could hint the instruction scheduler, we have profiling, we can gather profiling from not just a developers workbench but with instrumentation and we have Machine Learning to eke out patterns. But back then, Intel vastly overestimated the capabilities of the software world to take their tech and run with it.
Take a look at https://github.com/tembo-io/pg_vectorize. It makes it a lot easier to get started. It runs on pgvector, but as a user, its completely abstracted from you. It also provides you with a way to auto-update embeddings as you add new data or update existing source data.
Olive oil. Just that works fine too.
I'd never heard of systemd-sysext, as I've not really spent any time with imperative immutable distros.

From the man page:

> systemd-sysext activates/deactivates system extension images. System extension images may – dynamically at runtime — extend the /usr/ and /opt/ directory hierarchies with additional files. This is particularly useful on immutable system images where a /usr/ and/or /opt/ hierarchy residing on a read-only file system shall be extended temporarily at runtime without making any persistent modifications.

> [...]

> The primary use case for system images are immutable environments where debugging and development tools shall optionally be made available, but not included in the immutable base OS image itself (e.g. strace(1) and gdb(1) shall be an optionally installable addition in order to make debugging/development easier). System extension images should not be misunderstood as a generic software packaging framework, as no dependency scheme is available: system extensions should carry all files they need themselves, except for those already shipped in the underlying host system image.

> [...]

> Another use case for the system extension concept is temporarily overriding OS supplied resources with newer ones, for example to install a locally compiled development version of some low-level component over the immutable OS image without doing a full OS rebuild or modifying the nominally immutable image. [...] This case works regardless if the underlying host /usr/ is managed as immutable disk image or is a traditional package manager controlled (i.e. writable) tree.

So I guess this method is being presented to testers to give them a more controlled way to test.

I don't read "it exists because it has to exist" in the parent's statement. They're saying that there's an advantage one way and a disadvantage another, and evolution favors advantages.

One of the first things software engineers learn is that people are bad at manually building models/programming.
