Both Red Hat and Fedora have sponsored KDE also in recent years, FWIW, e.g. the Akademy flagship conference.

But what I really want to say is that Red Hat's contributions to Gnome are not that large recently. I often see comments along the lines of "this should be easy for Gnome, they have Red Hat backing them", and it's really underestimating how self-sufficient the Gnome community is and how many legs it has to stand on, because it's really not "all Red Hat".
> This is apparently the New Yorker refusing to serve a page (with a 404!) to the UK. So they (or a UK distributor or subsidiary I suppose?) have been given legal advice that it would breach a court order banning media coverage

Why not instead give the usual honest "not available in your country"?
While it's absolutely true that KPIs or other clear, measurable metrics of success are objectively better than having no such metrics and just going off of vibes and gut-checks...

...it's important to remember that:

a) People who are bad at creating KPIs can absolutely still make them ill-defined and nebulous.

b) KPIs do not always measure the things that actually matter.

c) Indeed, it's (unfortunately) all too common to have KPIs measure only the things that matter to the people making the KPIs, and not the things that will actually make the organization successful. (For instance, making the stock price a KPI, whether directly or indirectly, through targeting specific visible results that are likely to improve the stock price while having disproportionately low benefits for the actual core business.)

d) Even if the nature of the KPIs are chosen well (ie, they're measuring the right things), the numbers being targeted for them can still be wildly unrealistic and lead to unnecessary stress.

e) Goodhart's Law[0] applies whenever you're creating metrics. You may need to either actively combat efforts to game the metrics, or rotate the precise things being measured periodically to ensure no one has the opportunity to optimize their output too well for a specific metric to the detriment of actual productive output.

TL;DR: KPIs and other ways of clearly communicating and measuring success are a necessary but insufficient component of a healthy workplace.

So this was my exact experience with Gnome on Wayland, but add to it list of applications that simply didn't work (BTW this might be what cause those freezes that you experience - some software that run in the background and try to do something which Wayland doesn't find acceptable.) But with KDE 5 I didn't experience any of that, and now with Sway I also don't. Could be luck.

With both KDE and Sway I use different scaling on each monitor and it smooth and perfect.

There really isn't much hard evidence about any correlative patterns about early stage VCs. Which is why their model is essentially spray and pray. The successful ones (Sequoias, a1z, etc.) are just signaling rods whereby high growth startups gravitate towards well known VCs, which in turns means signaling to M&A markets.

RISC-V. But really ARM is a totally legit choice at the moment, not out of touch at all, and I say that working for a RISC-V company.

The entire ARM ecosystem is far more mature than RISC-V, plus the main RPis are ARM so they have experience with it and probably access to ARM people.

The main reasons to use RISC-V currently are cost and customisability. There are also some quite high quality open source RISC-V cores you can use off the shelf.

Scoped threads have been reintroduced to Rust since ver 1.63, released in August 2022.

So the cynical side of me assumes you also can't spot what I'm doing at my computer, and your assertion you could see what I was doing, was fake :-(

"make a low effort joke"

You still have not understood my comment. You make no effort to understand the comment, even with my explanation. I guess this is because you don't want to understand people but get something out of attacking them.

My comment was not a joke, which was the point of my previous comment.
>Fun fact: while the IFR of the seasonal flu is around 0.1%, there's around a 2.5% chance you will die from it.

That's an incorrect statement unless the age distribution of people on this forum exactly matches the age distribution of the US population, which it doesn't. The overwhelming majority of flu deaths are concentrated in the elderly; someone under sixty is orders of magnitude less likely to die than someone older than eighty.

> Doesn't a VC make money from valuation, not profitability

Sure, but if the business is profitable that means it works. Now the investment can be spent on bending the curve up (e.g. hire more salespeople that could have been afforded from the company’s revenue alone) rather than the more risky approach of spending the money to see if the product will make it at all.

> A profitable business has either reached market potential, or isn't spending enough on growth.

This is a naïve view from the SaaS era propagated by SaaS and consumer app investors. Does not apply to most businesses and applied to none of the biggest companies today like Microsoft, Apple, NVIDIA, Google, et al.

Look at google: no, it wasn’t profitable (no revenue or even revenue model) but had huge uptake by the nerds without any effort to market it.

> Anecdotally I can think of many more examples of unprofitable businesses getting VC money.

Sure, several of my own companies were funded in this mode. But that capital was more expensive because it was used figuring out if the tech would work and if there were actually customers for the product.

We can't get rid of COVID-19, it's not just a decision or apathy.
I find their methodology really questionable.

They used an existing survey, which had 4 questions, which they combined to 3 binary questions for their analysis:

- “Does your home have access to the internet?” / “Do you have access to the internet in any way, whether on a mobile phone, a computer, or some other device?”

- “Can your mobile phone be used to access the internet?”

- “Have you used the internet in the past seven days, whether on a mobile phone, a computer, or some other device?”

So they cannot say anything about the impacts of how much you use the internet, so long as you access it at least weekly, in some form. The correlation really says that for people who are so off the beaten track that they aren't using this ubiquitous technology, which institutions, governments and society have centered on, but are still somehow reachable for this survey, their well-being is likely to be impacted. The survey period went through 2021, so this includes a pandemic period where one presumes having no internet access might have had more dramatic impacts on well-being than normal.

This reads like a press release for the study instead of a news story about the contents of the study itself.

I have no real problem with the blower being underpowered compared to a plug-in, but for commercial use, it would be a deal breaker.

The Ego leaf blower and even the chain saw are good tools for 90% of my average home usage, and the convenience of not having to deal with cords or trying to start a small gas engine makes them worth it to me. I have not had to go to my old string trimmer once and should probably sell it. Living more north of you, I haven't dared try the snow blower. The gas blower I have struggles with some of our snows up here.

The mower on the other hand, I wanted to return after the very first mow but convinced myself that even with a poor cut the trade off was worth it. 4 years later and with batteries dying I'm considering other options (including the Toro electric, but many reviews made similar remarks to the Ego).
I thought surely you must be joking when I clicked on the link. Then I thought, ok, I'm a high school flunky, and I must be confusing this with the "don't go within a million miles of" substance that Walter White used to dissolve corpses and the one that I've read about repeatedly over the years that is immediately poisonous to human life even if you spill it only on a fingertip. But nope the 1-star reviews make it clear that I'm not confused. Then I start wondering how this can even be shipped with regular parcel services...

I finished up by thinking "he linked to the reviews, because the product is no longer for sale". So I click through the link, nope. $11/bottle. And not soem Engrishy label, looks like I could find it on the shelf at Home Depot or Walmart. Seriously, wtf.

Here's the problem with this argument: the long history of security vulnerabilities demonstrates that people are complete shite at estimating both the likelihood of security problems, and the severity and scope of any unaddressed security problems.

So the only empirical data that we know to be absolutely reliable is this long history of colossal human failure on estimating this risk. That's why I don't trust your argument one bit, and thus, that's why soundness properties are important, because they take flawed human judgment completely out of the equation.

Which isn't to say that I want soundness proven for all properties no matter the cost, but I do take issue with your outright dismissal of soundness. There are low-hanging fruit like memory safety that handle the vast majority of these problems, and so unquestionably have a great bang for your buck.
Most people don't die every year; 2.5% [well, 1.5% last year] of the people who die, die of the flu.
Yeah, these filtering appliances/services have many, many misgivings but this one is obviously just following the spec that just happens to be violated by "magic" (not really) links (and not to metion breaking in iOS and other systems which preview them, the futility of trying to ignore robots etc.). You simply know that the designers of the service don't have any real-life testing (and often are snobbish, to boot) if "magic" links are mandatory.
Women and men are roughly equal in number. If more men are alone, then more women should be alone too.

If there's a "male loneliness epidemic," it might mean one of these things:

- There's no female loneliness epidemic because some men have multiple female partners (unlikely)

- Women might be alone but aren't bothered by it—they don't feel lonely (unlikely)

- More and more women are becoming homosexual, while less and less men become homosexual (unlikely)

So, why do only men complain about being lonely?
Thanks for your honesty.
The first time I watched The Rise of Skywalker it was just too much being thrown at my brain. The second and third watch was much easier to process of course. I'm a big fan of older movies and have noticed the shot length difference anecdotally - Lawrence of Arabia and Ben Hur are two of my favorites. So I suppose it all makes sense to me now that there is actually a comparison measurement that has been completed.
Which kind of touches on the other problem, which is the difficulty of getting people to even use the easy, low-cost techniques we already know. Here we are talking about SAT solving and formula propagation and how unsafe Rust interacts with those things and in the world I experience a moment of shock if I so much as see

type Username string
type Password string

func Login(Username, Password)

instead of

func Login(username string, password string)

in code. (Obviously these type signatures are just complex enough to make my point and would generally have more to them in the real world.)

Or at times even just encountering a unit test is enough to surprise me. Programmers need to get really, really tired of fixing the same bug(s) over and over in QA before they finally have the brainwave of adding their first unit test somewhere around the 25,000 line point.

I wish formal methods all the best and I wish I had more time to spend with them, but I'm awfully busy fighting upstream just to keep the unit tests running every time a new developer joins the project. I'm just asking for you to please install the git precommit hook or actually pay attention to the CI or whatever. Please. I'm not asking you to learn a SAT solver. Just keep the tests passing, and if a test broke because it's no longer applicable, please remove it instead of just letting it break for the next couple of years. etc.
Well it doesn't only counter the bad kinds of economic activity, it also counters the good kinds. If a mom-and-pop store with low margins can make more profit by hoarding cash than by expanding their business and employing more people, it can't be good.
That seems obvious, but then I considered for a moment how many (in-person) relationships are based on lies, illusions, and misunderstandings about the other person - often not discovered until years into the relationship. With AI, at least you know that it isn't real. Which, maybe, somehow makes it more real...
How did you go about it? Did you only apply to jobs you where knew someone there?
It's the economically viable part that I think is currently hard, but agreed this is the right approach.

What exactly do you propose we do about covid anyway? None of the mitigations that were forced upon us did anything beyond make things much worse.

Seriously. Covid wasn’t even that bad relative to other pandemics in the past.

Besides I think the real reason nobody really talks about it anymore is because a lot of people woke up to how badly they got scammed and are pretty embarrassed with their reaction. No to mention flushing several years of their life and their children’s life down the toilet for nothing. Not to mention the disastrous economic fallout we will be suffering through for quite some time.
