>When the world was dominated by the divine right of kings, and changing that was going to take hundreds of years… should people not have discussed what to do to move down a better path?

We could. But historically, it ends in a bloody battle of nobles vs nobles and sometimes they break off and become the next generation of noble. Despite the name, their goals are not necessarily that.

>This does not discourage me from laying the ground work and having the conversations. Just as I am working on open source robotics for farming, I encourage other people to contribute to open culture so that we can some day build a better world.

What ultimately discourages me is that the person who does this will not reao the rewards they sow. On the contrary, the next generation noble may contort it into something absolutely dysyopic.

Conversation doesn't mean much without action. But us non-nobles talking about bloodshed is seen as passe and uncouth. Not much will happen until we take it back by force (not necessarily violent, but a huge, unignoreble gesture coordinated by millions... A very hard problem to do as a grassroots movement)
"Object-oriented" ipso facto refers to programming using objects. Simula had objects, and they were objects in the same exact way as Smalltalk objects are objects - a bundle of state with identity and behavior. Whether the exact term "OOP" was used by Simula authors is immaterial. The usual claim is that what makes Smalltalk special is message passing as opposed to method calls, but they are obviously isomorphic.
> Don't like OneDrive? Don't use it! Uninstalling it is going to fuck things up.

OneDrive in the end is a component designed to exfiltrate documents. Wanting to remove a security vulnerability should not brick a device. Asking people to not use it is not a solution because you are prompted to send your documents over the internet to a third party every single time you save a new file.
What do you mean by “learn to install and use”? I installed and used it and wrote about the issues in the process. Did you mean “learn not to complain about your problems”? :)
I just don't understand this take. Why should authors not be able to reap the economic benefits from their work? Someone write a novel and everyone else should be able to copy it? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Why wouldn't this line of reasoning apply to physical property? Why can't I just go live in any house I want? Take any car I want?
Office never had a proper UWP version.

As for the rest, I was there for the ride since Windows 8, as I quite enjoyed .NET Native, C++/CX, and the idea WinRT being what .NET 1.0 should have been, as per Ext-VOS background.

Nicely covered on this Ars article,

https://arstechnica.com/features/2012/10/windows-8-and-winrt...

Instead, they managed to turn many of their advocates, into critics.

However many in the Windows developer community never thought the same way as we did, and WinRT adoption among the community never took off.
Kinda. I wish they had a standard format for the config file. Instead every file has its own special syntax, sigh
Not sure if it applies in this case, but yes the exact typesetting is a separate copyright.
Thank you for this. This looks like just what I was looking for!
> Adobe anything (GIMP is worse than a joke)? Or, if you don’t like Adobe, Affinity? Windows.

The downvotes are because your suspicions are entirely wrong. There’s no remote “driving” or “take over”. They wrote a blog post on how it works just a few weeks ago: https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/
(Unsolicited related advice)

If gpedit.msc gives you unexpected results (I.e. policies just don’t seem to work) then do two things:

1. gpupdate /force
2. Download the latest ADMX templates; newer versions of Windows often introduce similarly-named - but still distinct - policy templates, for unwanted “features” in older versions, just like Start Menu web-search and forced-restarts for updates.

Lastly, while Windows LTSC is really what Microsoft should make available for everyone, don’t forget that Windows Server is still Windows LTSC too - so if you’re outside the MSDN Subscription Garden-of-Eden, you can still get Windows Server tricked-out as a real LTSC Workstation OS.
Basically, I just picked “dual boot” and how much space I wanted for Ubuntu partition. Don’t remember any question about encryption.
> next generation of ChatGPT will possess "PhD-level intelligence" for specific tasks

On the one hand this is at least honest. On the other, “on certain tasks” is an extremely low bar.
If uninstalling it breaks things, at least one of these must be true:

1. It should not be uninstallable and MS screwed up by making it so.

2. The uninstaller is broken and MS screwed up by making it so.

Either path is MS’s fault, not the user’s.
I'm pretty sure that individuals can't just buy any Enterprise edition, this one included. Everyone, or almost everyone who's running LTSC outside of enterprise settings is doing so through "other, mysterious ways" that I'm not sure I can mention on here. There may also be unrelated scripts that can strip a normal install of Win10 into something resembling LTSC, but I might be misremembering.
It's frankly offensive that this utterly pointless "feature" can't just be disabled. Starting Photoshop used to be windowskey, "ph", enter. Now, by default, it will give you an Edge Bing search for "ph"...

But even if you wait a few seconds before confirming, you'll get some garbage like Windows Photos, even though that's literally never been used.

At least the start menu got a lot faster with the net search disabled, but dropping usage based ordering is just another sign that Windows is NOT aimed at power users anymore.
RIP Zune. It was my favorite music player, especially being able to control it without looking at the controls. Tech industries have developed alternatives, but the intuitive features built into the Zune are something I've yet to see be matched. I suspect they moved some of those same UX engineers to the Surface & phone departments, but MS marketing departments seem to have control over things more than the actual UX designers, aaaand it all went to shit.

I sincerely wish more people were able to enjoy the UX that their clever engineers designed, but I suspect their marketing departments were the downfall of those efforts.
Spanish olive oil is very strictly managed with clear definitions of what extra virgin oil is as well as the other grades of olive oil. We also have quite a selection of small batch local olive oils. Some people here are as fanatic about this as wine enthusiasts.

If you can find original package Spanish olive oil you will get what it says on the bottle. When it comes to white label brands in places like the us all bets are off. In that case better stick to California olive oil.
That has never happened to me
Meh, these snarky rebuttals basically add up to, 'Other businesses already exist, and you're small, so good luck.'

No, I don't see the value when there are better laptops.
> Libraries tend not to put ads into books to fund them.

They do not, they are government funded. But to say they are funded insufficiently as is (without this advent of better electronic resources) is under selling the issue.

>Perhaps there could be a form of library "fee" that is funded by tax payers, in a similar way to how public radio gets funded.

If your local, that's called taxes. And people reaction to paying more taxes is pretty much why corporations always win. We'd rather sacrifice time with intrusive ads than pay more for a community effort.

Don't cook with cold-pressed oil. Not necessarily because it's unhealthy, but it would be silly to pay more for cold-pressed oil and then heat it up.
That is just a baseless speculation.

That's what I do with migadu. Way easier. I can have emails for my 3 years old (yes, the world sometimes needs that) being alias for my own and when the time comes, I will just switch the alias to be a real mailbox.
I don't think olive oil should be on that list. The smoking point is too low, it should be used raw
A major difference is the clearing model. The asset classes you mention generally have a clearing house behind them. This is designed to protect the system against counterparty risk. If one party goes under, it has limited contagion, even to the people who were (in practical terms) on the other side of the trades.

This layer of protection allows better specialisation. In crypto, you need to trade on your own balance sheet. In centrally cleared markets, it is routine for trading firms to lease balance sheet from banks, who have lots of capital and good risk management at scale, but who are typically less effective at trading specific markets competitively. This leads to more liquidity being available and more competitive markets.
You can force starving people into unfair arrangements where the choice is between getting screwed or dying of hunger. You can use the existence of starving people as a threat to keep your work force in line. Sometimes it's not even the starving people that you're making money off of, but their minerals and land.

There are a lot of ways to profit from suffering. And sometimes it's not even about profit—it can just feel so good to have an Other to oppress.

>> I looked back and realized that it's because we are targeting an incremental market.

>>If we were aiming at an existing market, it would likely be much easier.

Maybe. We have 3 products. 1 was basically "first mover computerized manual processes" (that's doing well, and we have serious market share), 1 was a niche area that we came to "early" in the cycle. Once we decided to do that "in a business way" (most everyone else in the niche was doing it as a side gig ) we dominated.

The 3rd came along much later. We had a superior product, better support, better everything. Penetration into the market has been very slow and very hard. Existing users in the space are mostly "happy enough" with what they have. Getting customers to switch is a LOT of work. After almost a decade in the space we're slowly being accepted as a legitimate option.

So new markets may be slow, but you grow as they grow, and you become hard to unseat. Old markets can be really hard to penetrate.

The grass isn't greener on the other side, the grass is greener where you water it.
I believe in 5 years time, digital information will be so easily transformable, that copyright holders (and patent holders) will have a very difficult time enforcing the property rights.

When a book can be readily transformed into audiobook, or even a song, a movie and anime, a sketch, a scientific diag or anything else, how you define property in that environment? Pretty impossible.

I think a useful analogy is when we lived in caves. A cave is given as is, no way to transform it, to evolve it and optimize it. As long as we found new ways to create an enclosure, then technology advancement really took off. Houses made of rocks, clay, concrete, wood started popping off everywhere.

The same way with books. A printed book is not transformed to anything else really. As long as written words can be represented in a more flexible way, then they are on to the race for technology advancement.
I hate when it outlook it shows me email following a keyword in "relevant" order and not in "recent" order.
It can be multiple things at once. They did indeed invest a lot more into manufacturing but they are also definitely using slave labor to cut on costs (see https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/02/01/china-carmakers-implicat...). Who knows as well to which extent the government funds these companies and keeps them afloat.

Rhetorical question but do you really believe they would be allowed to publish anything showing a human rights violation on youtube?

To get this footage he probably had to agree that all footage has to be reviewed by the company. There is no way they green light anything that makes them look bad. I would not be shocked if a party official had to be there to make sure he only shows the great side of everything.
Neural networks are not trained with evolutionary algorithms because they are very slow, especially for the millions or billions of parameters that NNs have. Instead, stochastic gradient descent is used for training, which is much more efficient.
Author said he was using KVM switch, hence multiple computers. Also you can't install macOS on a PC. Also you might need switching between OS in real time and often.
Just some thoughts.
Exposition of Front End Build Systems
Indeed, if you get well-supported hardware these become non-issues. This was also one of my learning points when diving into Linux. It's something you have to take into account. Most hardware is made to run Windows, so with most hardware that you get, you don't have a problem when running Windows (apart from Windows itself).

With Linux, you are dependent on the community that it made good support for the hardware you're running it on. And unless you're a pro you'll have a very hard time getting to make certain hardware work if it's not well supported.

Therefore you should think about the hardware you buy if you want to run Linux. With Windows you don't have to think about it because most hardware is made to run Windows or it's even already pre-installed. Macs have their own dedicated hardware wirh their OS pre-installed so you also don't have to think about it. But with Linux you suddenly have to consider which hardware to buy. It's something you have to get used to coming from Windows / Mac.
Thanks, but I don’t understand what those laptops have that enable high-performance fractional scaling that a Surface Laptop 3 doesn’t. It probably has the same GPU as many laptops in the list have.

Or, what does my SL3 lack to prevent it from going to hybrid sleep? Doesn’t make sense to me.
Am I alone in thinking ai powered services are mostly wank?

I can understand the delay causes most customers angst. I'm delighted, no intrusion of ai features into my online experience has visible benefit to me, google translate aside.

This is the least likely outcome to make me as a consumer shift my purchase or oppose the EU moves to regulate ai, and apple.

>they figured out a way to cheat the concept of ownership and get around the first sale doctrine.

How do you figure we get around this problem? The ability to reshare infinite electronic copies of a work does make this a legitimate issue compared to a physical good. I don't have any good answer.

Unless you keep modifying the registry to disable it, you do, every time you do a search. You're just not using those results. But you're still getting the crappy experience of delayed actions when you just want the local results.
A relative of mine designed ink-jet printer heads as wide as the paper.

Something similar could work with hard drives: an array of about 3 to 4 thin strips of silicon chips with a line of read/write heads.

Windows is like Carthage right after it got burned and its earth got salted, if that actually happened.
While that can be an interesting lens (though I think it erases material context), the point I was discussing was not about the validity of someone declaring victory, but rather, about countries invading their neighbors.
It might take decades and billions of dollars to prove a molecule can cure disease XYZ. Once you know the molecule, copying it is cheap. Only intellectual property rights can provide the incentive to find said molecule, safe in the knowledge that once it is found, all of the costs can be recouped plus profit.

That is the clear-cut case for intellectual property, but it’s the same principle for books. I’m not going to write a book that takes tons of effort and exposes my hard-won knowledge if I can’t profit from it, despite how easy it is to copy text. Food for thought
You’ve linked to a “doctor” that is actually a chiropractor.
Just to put things in perspective - MacOS forces you to run on their update treadmill for the OS, and you can't even update your xcode dev environment if you refuse. Ditto with Linux, you can't refuse OS updates if you use a package manager because eventually you can't update anything without accepting all the dependencies. Windows for all its warts did do something well with binary compatibility. I am happy as a pig in poop with my work supplied LTSC install.
No offense taken.

So, in a one-liner, coagulation flocculation is a process by which colloids and particles are coalesced into larger aggregate clumps, called flocs. These flocs are then easier to filter out.

1. Not a fan of privation fallacy

2. Your view on books and by extension, long term education is well, short term. A classic issue used to defund libraries. You don't give proper resources and knowledge to get the homeless today off thr street. It's to ensure much less of the next generation isn't also on the street.
That "share" link doesn't.

I believe so, as some people don't even have inner voice.
The audits are a joke (iso 27001 means nothing in practice, as anyone working in a 27001 certified company can tell you), and what has been in the news is that the only foreign partner who signed up to this clown show promptly went bankrupt in 2022: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/cyber-nb-shutti...

Windows is such execrable trash now that, when my late-2014 25-inch 5K Intel iMac got orphaned, I didn't even consider putting Windows on it. Now it's running Mint, and I use my M1 MacBook Pro in clamshell mode connected to a monitor.

That monitor, incidentally, is a 25-inch former iMac. I gutted it after it suffered the widespread burned-out-GPU problem that afflicted many (most?) Macs of circa-2010 vintage, and put an LCD driver board in it.
Onedrive is not a core windows component. It’s not a dependency of other applications. It’s just a Dropbox replacement.

Windows works, and has always worked, just fine without onedrive. Microsoft just doesn’t want you to know that, because they are obsessed with the idea of upselling you on subscription based cloud services.
If your gripe with Windows is that it requires TPM, the Mac is strict too.

> * 積ん読 (Tsundoku) (Japanese): Buying books and never reading them, just letting them pile up.

i don't speak Thai or Mandarin, so I can't speak to the other 2, but this one is a pun (combining tsundeoku, pile up, and dokusho, book reading) that survived in the language due to its catchiness.

A bit like "hangry" (hungry + angry) in English.

I have a hard time interpreting the existence of those words as an indication that Japanese culture really values not reading the books you buy, or English speaking culture is irritated due to hunger more so than other cultures.

They're just meme-like constructs that caught on due to arbitrary phonetic properties of the language.
It’s software running on your own computer. If you’re not supposed to turn off ads and OneDrive, change the default search engine, etc then that’s a pretty sad state of affairs.

Though as an ex-Windows developer and hacker, I can tell you that NT is pretty modular and is designed to be “fucked” with in various different ways. Microsoft just like to ship defaults that are more favourable for their own business than your typical power user.

There's been a lot of commercial crop failures about the globe for various reasons.

We recently raked through a slew of "old" quasi abandoned trees about the district that were once (decades back) commercial trees and now stand alone; they've done better than the mono fields of more recently planted commercial trees.

There's a local olive farm that's doing good business processing small trailer loads from locals bringing in small loads to process at a flat rate (up to a ceiling) for own use .. we've got in two years worth of anticipated demand for our family this way at about half the going rate let alone the predicated per litre price.
Americans can do a lot of things. But cooking is not one of them. It already starts at the grocery store where the vegetable section is smaller than the candy, crisps section. Its made very tempting to produce garbage food.
Sorry, but the Linux part doesn't make sense. If you want to update system components from the system repository, it makes sense that the dependencies are rolled into it. But if you don't want to upgrade everything, you don't have to. Install a specific app version from flatpak, download binaries, or compile it yourself for your current system. You have so many ways to do this - same as you're doing on windows.
I feel like I own my Mac because it doesn't bother me for anything and lets me do what I want. The iPhone, less so because it's secured against me in many ways.
