We settled the best spots already. There are huge economic returns for living in an urban area with other people, so its hard to bootstrap new cities. I think it would basically require starting as a company town. Epic medical records sort of did this in Madison
I think you over hype c# and swift, we did benchmark a grpc api server in c# ( net core ) and Go, same implementation in both languages and Go while faster was using way less memory.
On the contrary, who's willing to work on it isn't what matters either. What matters is whether the code actually does what people need it to do. Now you might very reasonably assume that having devs willing to work on Wayland would lead to that, and that nobody wanting to work on Xorg would cause it to stop working, but in reality that's just not true; Wayland has been preferred by the devs for 16 years and in 2024 is still behind Xorg in meaningful ways. They're finally close, but as someone who keeps looking for ways to make Wayland work it just isn't there.

> Forking X11 and assuming Vulkan while throwing out everything else is probably pretty doable and would result in a 90% codebase reduction. However, nobody is willing to sling the code to make it happen.

The easy way is to move to just using rootful XWayland, which lets you use the fancy new backend while keeping everything else the same. IMHO they really should have implemented that first, moved everyone to the new backend, and then if they really had to push pure Wayland do that after.

And don't forget, SMRs need to be at least 2 orders of magnitude cheaper for your hare-brained idea of "dispoasable reactors" to work.

It's very hard to distinguish my iPhone and Mac from the other dozens/hundreds people have in my building just through fingerprinting. Very easy if they have separate IP addresses.

I'm pretty shocked at how many here seem to agree with you. Your chances of dying in a Boeing aircraft went from something like 1 in 10 billion to 1 in 9.999999 billion. Why bother thinking about this at all? Even if risk reduction is your #1 priority in life, there's a near-infinite list of better ways to reduce your risk than trying to pick Airbus aircraft over Boeing.

This is why I generally tried to support physical games that are playable on release. But that is a losing battle. It’s still likely that I can drop in a brand new PS5 or Switch game and play it with no network connection, but I expect that to rapidly change in the next five years.

This is pretty much not possible on PC anymore outside of outliers.
AI is legit, but you are right that currently it's too expensive and being propped up by investments paid for in compute from cloud providers. We're making rapid progress in bringing the compute requirements of high level models down though, and eventually we'll get over this need to make supermodels and start making distilled models for specific tasks, which will provide the benefits without the drawbacks of all knowing models.
I really think the major credit card companies missed a tremendous opportunity by not figuring out micropayments. They have the infrastructure to be the ones to figure this out, but they didn't.
I can't speak for the urban situation, but I don't care about my home value (to a point). I care about the quality of my community. I care about that a lot. Dense housing put in an area that isn't dense just because the area is high-demand is often not productive in the long run, as the effects it can have on the existing community range from nothing (a net positive though, since now there's more housing) to abject disaster.

Part of this is housing, but part of it is just people wanting to live in a high-demand location and thereby tempting politicians and developers. You can satisfy the important part (housing) without the bad part by prioritizing building outward. Create more communities, which have the opportunity to become high-demand, instead of destroying places people have worked hard to live in and in which people have developed solidarity and community.
Seems pretty logical to me
Windows has the same thing, it's just much less exposed, and none of the paths are magical, they're well defined and mostly adhered to for all major distros. The core of how it works in Linux is fairly straightforward.

The main difference is in how additional software is handled. Windows, because of its history with mostly third party software being installed, generally installed applications into a folder and that folder contained the application... Mostly. Uninstalling was never as simple as that might imply.

Linux distros had an existing filesystem layout (from Unix) to conform to, so when they started developing package managers, they had to support files all over the place, so they make sure packages include manifests. Want to know where use executable are? Check bin. Superuser.com executables? Check sbin (don't want those cluttering the available utils in the path of regular users). Libs for in libs.

/bin and /usr/bin and the others are holdovers from the long past when disks were small, and recent distros often symlink usr to / so they're different in name only. /usr/local is for admin local modifications that are not handled through a package. /opt is for whatever, and often used for software installed into a contained folder, like in windows.

Just know what bin, sbin, lib, opt and etc are for and most the rest is irrelevant as long as you know how to query the package manager for what files a package provides or as it what package a specific filer belongs to. If you looked I to windows and the various places it puts things I suspect you'd find it at least complicated, if not much more.

Note: what I said may not match the LSB (which someone else usefully posted) perfectly, but for the most part it should work as a simple primer.

Phoenix is one of the best places to build a city in the entire southwest. It's at the confluence of two major rivers (the Gila and Salt), near a lot of decent agricultural land, and connected by canal to an extremely large river (the Colorado). It's geologically stable and land is cheap. The population is relatively high, relatively educated, and the state government is willing to give companies huge concessions to be there.

People have been building along the Sonoran rivers for thousands of years and they'll probably continue for thousands more.
started wearing my reading glasses for all nearby work

Here's a study summary on giving student pilots reading glasses to prevent myopia from reading all the training material:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31080964/

Off the top of my head, from reading about this a few months ago, I think it's mostly a critical period as a child to young adult where this has the most effect.

Some opthalmologists invented glasses for children that reduce the worsening of myopia:

https://newsroom.uw.edu/news-releases/glasses-stop-myopia-ar...

Again, off the top of my head, the eye is stimulated to grow longer by dopamine, and the dopamine release is influenced by the focus difference between what's at the center of the eye versus what's at the edge. Somehow, those glasses reduce that effect, so the eye doesn't continue to lengthen past farsightedness and into nearsightedness.

> How am I supposed to know what Envoyer does?

If you google "Laravel Envoyer" the first result tells you "Envoyer - Zero Downtime PHP Deployment". You don't even need to click. "Envoyer" in French means "to send", not sure if that's why they picked it.

This costs money but it's for deployments so you don't even need it. Just deploy as you normally would with a git hook.

You can also deploy with Envoy, where you write a simple script that executes ssh commands (git fetch, pull, composer install, ...). Envoy is free. Obviously you're free to deploy whichever way you would.

Personally I either use Envoy (free) or an ssh script that listens for git hooks.

Does this article read a little strange to anyone else? They keep repeating the same thing a few times like trying to fill space.
People generally wont substitute a single family home on a large lot for a condo on the 16th floor of a building. So if you build a lot of condos and stacked townhomes, etc, then it wouldn’t necessarily affect the price of single family homes on large lots. So young people can get into the housing market without affecting boomer retirement plans (their houses).
No one is going to Vienna for a stag party, so tourists per capita may not tell the whole story.
My personal favorite was Audiogalaxy, which had a fairly decent recommendation engine. I discovered a lot of excellent music (which I subsequently bought) through this.
This is certainly as valid opinion, but just looking at the cost of housing makes it pretty clear that we have a shortage of housing in cities, and an excess of it in bumfuck where you want it to be built. Lucky for you your preference is to live where its already cheap.
> I mean just look at this very thread, it’s super unclear how it works and interacts with other windows feature

I agree with you, but that’s not great evidence for your point. Bring up any random Apple feature and people will be quick to warn you about their misunderstandings of it. “Face ID means Apple has all our pictures now!” “Apple Keychain shares all your passwords with them!” Etc.
Why resort down to ad personam (the last two paragraphs)? These are not insults, but not valid arguments, either.

I know very well about Zerodium. However, FPGAs can be way more secure than any kind of ASICs. If you don't understand why, then I don't think further discussion is warranted. I worked with Apple's implementation of security enclaves, and they don't isolate (or "outsource" to be processed there) nearly as much as should be isolated. For example, whole display and touch input needs to go through the application processor, anyway. It's not a good way to go, to say the least. You can't overlay anything on the top of the display nor isolate touch input from some area (say, virtual keyboard) to go to the enclave. The rest of what it does is pretty meaningless, given these constraints.
I believe we are going to see significant garnishing of wages in creative field

A wage garnishment is any legal or equitable procedure through which some portion of a person's earnings is required to be withheld for the payment of a debt. Most garnishments are made by court order.

You think because of auto generated music there are going to be court orders to take money out of the paychecks of people in 'creative fields'?

Garnish wages means taking money out of what someone has already earned.

'the free world' loses internet content mostly because we are indifferent and don't value the humanities or social sciences as much as we used to.

china loses internet content because it is a one party state dictatorship that is purposely trying to eradicate the cultural artefacts of it's victims and opponents, by hiring masses of people whose career goals are the purposeful destruction of memory.

we do have examples similar to that, for example "free speech advocates" like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk who abuse the legal system to silence critics. But those people are not literally running the government in a government that will never change hands.

Not true, open source is also doing a lot of fine tunes/post training on Llama3, and there's OpenChat as well, so if Llama didn't exist we'd still have something to work with.
Chromium is open source, so unless google closes it, in which case you can continue from the pre-close corde, you can maintain a fork without the parts that you don't like. I imagine it has to be much simpler than to maintain a full engine that is sadly almost irrelvant with 2.88%. Chrome (65%) + Edge (5.5%) + Opera (2.6%) have almost 75%. Again, I was a huge suporter of Firefox/Mozilla, but I think they didn't know how to fight chrome.
Yeah, that makes sense. FWIW I think flutter is pretty cool. I think this sort of thing is only a concern when you have apps that have to use a lot of hardware specific features.

Every few months I go searching again to see if anything can beat the Harmony remote with hub (no screen on the remote) and nothing comes close. I mean there are a few products that are decent and what I'd buy if Harmony stopped working but they are not as good as Harmony. The battery life is measured in months (like 6-12) and not having to point the remote is huge QoL improvement. Pair that with being able to script actions for on/off and it was an amazing device.

For a while I hoped someone would buy their Harmony division and keep making them but alas, it was not meant to be.

The tariffs for Chinese EVs happened in the US (increased from 25% to 100%), not in the EU.[1]

The CO2 thing is something that is done in France to put conditions on local subsidies for EV purchases, it's not about import tariffs.[2]

The EU does have an ongoing investigation which may result in tariffs, but it is focusing on subsidies in China that would cause unfair competition. EU car manufacturers don't seem to be in favor of tariffs though.[3]
