> COSMIC is the new rust-based DE that's still in alpha right? I wasn't using that.

I'm not referring to that, I'm referring to the "COSMIC" extensions to GNOME that PopOS adds to reshape GNOME into their vision of a desktop environment (the vision is what they call COSMIC). Those COSMIC extensions are the predecessor to the COSMIC DE, which is a standalone instantiation and elaboration of that vision, and have been part of PopOS and enabled by default for a very long time. The COSMIC extensions are extremely extensive, substantially changing several huge aspects of gnome, as well as being written in typescript, then compiled to JavaScript and then translated into GJS with a — I kid you not — a sed script. So I think it's entirely possible that your problems could have been caused by those extensive extensions, and not the gnome window manager itself. Especially since other users of gnome haven't shared your experiences.

There's also the fact that pop OS's version of gnome is now more than 2 years behind and they still haven't updated it, since they are holding back waiting for cosmic de to be ready instead, so you may have been experiencing a bug that has long been fixed for everyone else. System 76 seems to try to do their best to update a lot of the packages in pop os's repos, but they can't keep everything artificially up to date since they aren't tracking Upstream Ubuntu updates anymore, either, since all of their resources are going to Cosmic de, so a whole bunch of packages including for instance node are two years out of date on PopOS, not just gnome, incidentally.
It's kinda telling when the author says (e.g. about the "Realistic Vision v2" model) that "the anatomy is excellent [...]" when this is obviously not the case.

Actually it is in no single image in that blog post.

If you have a trained eye that is.
HTMX with GoLang is such a relief compared to working with anything else in web-related apps.

We're still doing a monorepo with NextJs some NX (which is frankly also rather unnecessary since everything it does can be done fairly simply with pnpm workspaces and vite), a complicated storybook setup and 9 billion libraries for components, utilities and what not. We're also still trundling along with C# even though it's 2024 and functions should be capable of living outside of classes in any language... Naturally build on "clean architecture" and "solid" which makes the entire code base a ginormous mess of unnecessary abstractions where a simple helper which does one single thing and is never re-implemented lives in 9 billion files in several different csproj's because it "might" need to be abstracted one day (it won't).

It takes me longer to figure out where things are in those projects than it does to develop an entire internal service with HTMX and Go... Which despite being a huge success for everyone, and hailed by the business itself has made no impact on our future plans. We can sit in a meeting where everyone has achieved something marvelous with HTMX and Go and still decide to keep using NextJS and C#. It's silly, but I've never really worked for a company where it wasn't this stupid and at least we're not so trapped by ourselves that we can't build things with "non strategic" tools.
My problem with keto is that most people on it eat so much saturated fat that their cholesterol goes through the roof, and that’s really bad for cardiovascular health.

(Keto communities deal with this by preaching an anti-science, cholesterol-denialist dogma, but that dogma has always been driven by wishful thinking).
For me, the 13” AMD Framework laptop is outstanding (running Ubuntu). I previously had the first generation 13” Intel laptop, and it had charging issues and fan noise, but this Ryzen laptop is fast and quiet. I can’t think of any complaints. It feels like a mature laptop. I love the 4:3 screen aspect.
Insofar as you think you were responding to what you identified (and then conveniently changed to fit your narrative) to be his arguments, I would say it's not hard to see the difference between a law changing every 4-8 years versus once every 40+ years (combined with about 5 years of foreshadowing the changes). You also conveniently run with the "fill in the gaps" narrative, by belittling the scope and impact of these gaps. Trillions have been spent in these gaps. Thousands if not millions of lives have ended due to choices in these gaps. Families torn apart. Suicides. Bankruptcies.

So, for "specific commentary", me, a regular dude, can see straight through them. If you wanted a real, deep Roberts-quality response, you're in the wrong place. None of what you said was even presented in oral arguments, because two of the finest lawyers in the world could also see through that pretentious fallacy filled drivel, and knew that the 9 justices, all of whom are also leagues ahead of you or I in legal knowledge and skill, would equally scoff.

This statement from Microsoft is just asking for a copyright infringement lawsuit because the courts have been very clear that web "content" is copyrighted unless it is explicitly placed in the public domain or old enough to no longer be under copyright.

Authors of open source code should consider adding explicit restrictions to their license barring the use of their code to train AI. This would make it easier to file lawsuits against Microsoft and others of their ilk who think they can train their AI with other people's work without fair compensation.

I'm very curious how you "bootstrap" a model like that. Do you start with a physics simulation? Make an educated guess and then get pilots to label when it's wrong in order to incrementally improve? Recruit pilots to manually track CAT events?

I've had to build a few of these kinds of models over the years, and it's consistently the hardest task I've faced in my DS career.

> Just look at YouTube’s early history

But something did happen. Viacom and others sued them, and then YouTube introduced their Content ID system so that they could pay copyright holders for content that others uploaded, as well as to take down videos belonging to copyright holders that did not agree to other people uploading their content.
I really like some of the modern games, though, they often bring both great UI/UX as well as nice graphics to the table!

Mashinky: https://store.steampowered.com/app/598960/Mashinky/ (a pretty nice indie game)

Transport Fever: https://store.steampowered.com/app/446800/Transport_Fever/ (runs well, affordable, lots of content)

Transport Fever 2: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1066780/Transport_Fever_2... (hands down the best UI/UX in any game like this)

Workers & Resources: https://store.steampowered.com/app/784150/Workers__Resources... (a whole city builder, with resource management)

That said, for what it's worth, OpenTTD and games like it are quite good, if you can figure out the font scaling and UI. Oh, also some enjoy Simutrans, albeit it's a bit different: https://www.simutrans.com/en/
I have watched this dispute for many decades and the reality is that there is ebb and flow in the lifecycle of such things. The biggest problem is that people do not have sound memories of what has happened in the past.

The Great Barrier Reef is a good example of the dire calls about its impending destruction. As far as the [experts] of James Cook University are concerned, I have serious doubts as to the abilities of the researchers there. Far too much politicing going on.

Because it affects them more, the locals are more involved in caring for such without the interference of the [experts] who make their [expert] claims. The locals know just how silly many of these claims are and are now in the habit of not informing the [experts] so that the actual environments are protected.
What I learned from my weight loss journey is that good sleep does wonders for my brain. It helps me remember my long-term goals and resist those pesky urges for sugary, fatty snacks.

Plus, when I'm well-rested, my brain seems to actually register when my stomach isn't empty, so it doesn't send out those annoying craving signals.

And after all that health talk, I'll probably still end up scrolling through Reddit for a couple of hours before bed.
No, this makes random nonces safe in the first place. With standard AES-GCM, you should use deterministic nonce generation since 96 bits is not enough to avoid random collisions. Also, you must change the nonce (or key) after 2^32 blocks regardless of how it was generated because the counter rolls over and the next block would use the same nonce+counter as the first block.
Too bad they are not uniting forces now.

I own a 12th gen framework and even though Linux works well on it, it won't save you from the occasional tinkering : How do I configure firefox to have it work well with the GPU ? Should I change the power-management software for something better ? Etc.
Linux support is ok but it's not first class as I thought it would be.
System76 clients seems to have better tuned software but the hardware seems less good. I wouldn't know.

If there was a premium option for Framework with PopOS + System76 support I would have paid for it, and I suspect I wouldn't be the only one.
> There's no substitute for skill and experience, despite what the modern tech discourse says. "Anyone can program!"

I’m told this is gatekeeping. Yes, and…? I’ve always found it amusing that I see little to no anger being directed at kernel devs for their gatekeeping. Almost as if deep down, people know that they shouldn’t be fucking with the thing that runs the world unless they are actually good at it. Or maybe they’re just afraid of Torvalds.
It’s also useful for defining data structures and carving them up, which (for me) is the role now filled by ImHex.

If HexFiend/xxd are at one end of the spectrum, ghidra at the other, I imagine ImHex and tools like Kaitai are in the middle
Show HN: AssemblyArena – an assembly programming game
Hi,
I am sharing the first version of my assembly programming game where players create software programs to compete for control of a virtual computer's memory - heavily inspired by Core War.

It's still buggy, but includes a functioning Virtual Machine written in C and an Assembler written in C++, which runs (as WASM blobs) client-side in the browser, except the Glicko-2 powered ranking system, which obviously needs a some kind of backend.

Exactly. It is not the implementation of the auth module that matters to me so much as is the API through which it slots into the rest of the system. I want the expert designed modules that I can plug various systems into.

Because we haven’t seen good frameworks at the user management level, I think, the mistakes made by the creators of that YT video are common in the industry.
You thought AI companies weren't training on one of the biggest datasets of pictures of people out there? Especially when the owners of those photos are too small to really sue you over it.
Usually when you increase exercise, your body decreases its non-exercise calorie burn (NEAT), so your total calorie needs don’t change much. As a result, exercise is usually a wash for weight loss, unless you’re working hard to maintain your NEAT.

(Exercise is still extremely good for you though!! Highly recommend!!!)

I agree, form your opinions when you have enough information.

For example, if you can’t decide between two data structures or tech, pick one and add a comment:

Yes. We do it all the time. And at the margins, sure, it's unfair. But when a random poster using sophomoric logic is going on some pretentious rant about knowing more than Neil Gorsuch, all you need to do is note that one person has spent tens of thousands of hours being aided by the finest educational paths to the job of SCOTUS justice, and one is a professional spamer
Doesn't a comment automatically rise to the top if there's lots of discussion below it?
Nuxt just works out of the box. It can get as complex as Next, but (most of) the footguns aren't loaded, cocked, and aimed already like everything in the React world seems to be (skip the component auto-imports tho, that one will bite you eventually) . Been using it to build a completely static SPA for years now, and it never makes a peep about server-side logic when working in that mode. Suspense just works, happening automatically when you have an async component, without any extra ceremony needed on your end.

And yes, it has a pretty nice file router built in, and useRoute() works everywhere. If file routing is all you want though, then skip Nuxt and use vite-plugin-pages (which also works with React).

It's not "fair" that my parents couldn't afford to take me go-karting. Maybe I'd have ended up an F1 driver if they had.

The problem is the pipelines, primarily poor education. Papering over the cracks resulting from that isn't fair on society at large, whether it's the pointy end of the wedge (e.g. incompetent doctors and engineers), or just hampering economic productivity in general.

It's cynical and wrong. What he (seems to be) saying is that it's fine to violate the legal rights of other people if they don't have a large legal department, and you do. It's blindingly obvious that's wrong.

"Everyone in the business" - you mean, the AI training business? Paraphrasing a famous call-girl, "They would say that, wouldn't they?"
I don't think the "US culture" criticizes China for their entrepreneurship. You hear criticisms against their totalitarian state, cheap goods, IP theft (as you mention) and the transfer of US jobs to China, but the average American doesn't think about their policies and their relation to free enterprise. You probably heard that from a loud minority and assumed it's representative of the country.

I also don't think most pro-business advocates will say that they want no laws or regulation of any kind. Business need the enforcement of contract laws, trademark laws and, yes, intellectual property laws to function. Most pro-business people aren't defending anarchy. The criticism regarding regulation is about excessive regulation which, more often than not, exists to benefit certain parties (established businesses, compliance equipment and service providers) over others (new and small businesses).
I really recommend the 13 version. The 3:2 screen format (extra vertical space) makes up for the small form factor. It's very nice to have a sturdy, lightweight laptop while also feeling like I have a big screen.

Linux works ok but it's not first class either, it's not tinkering free. That's really my main criticism towards Framework, else it's a great machine.
I think part of the problem is that a 'balanced diet' is also pretty poor in micro nutrients/vitamins/etc because modern farming techniques mean the soil itself is pretty exhausted, with just the bare minimum being added back to yield the next crop.
I disagree strongly. I have done things like changing the electrical sockets and conducts, replaced the toilet cisterns, the water faucets, remove brick and plaster walls and created new ones, and most of the important knowledge for doing that came from Youtube.

Just the other day I needed to remove the ceramic tiles in the kitchen to access a terrible drain clog as no professional wanted to risk doing that(it is easy to break the tiles, it could take so much time and in the end not fixing completely the issue so they will have to ask for a lot of money but you will be angry if they don't fix it). I have never done that but I looked at some videos and I removed 4 tiles and only broke slightly one(nobody is going to see it).

I am engineer so I understand how things work but before Youtube it would be impossible to do that as I will make very expensive mistakes like flooding or burning the house.

I also learn a lot from professionals just by watching them work.

>The moment you get one project done, the details around how certain things work is nothing to be found on YouTube

I believe the details are there but you need to be prepared to see them. A lot of times I made mistakes and then realised that the video bewared against it, but I just didn't pay attention to it.
It seems it sometimes can deny even a pair forming a very well known composite word.

Note that this is the full package, and that it's normal to use a bundler that will treeshake things you don't use away. For example react-dom includes server-side rendering functions that are not necessary on browser side.

I hold the unpopular opinion that serious child sports are child labour, and parents should be punished as such. The same goes for chess, dancing, acting or any other such pursuit.

Any child activity that resembles a job if you squint is going too far. I don't care if we never see another Mozart, Federer or Michael Jackson. It's abuse to squeeze a child into such a narrow life. It produces broken adults.

Let kids be kids.

I tried this and eventually started binging on higher and higher percent chocolate. Eventually I was sitting at work stuffing a handful of crushed toasted Cocoa nibs into my mouth ... I suppose I did end my craving for sweets though. I can't make hard cheeses last more than a couple days either. Leaving the kitchen empty works pretty well for me. But I'll binge on pretty much anything that is left if the hunger hits me.

I've read something more of the opposite before: posts with lots of comments risk being down weighted unless they've received a lot of upvotes. Supposedly something to do with wanting to avoid lower value content which is attracting a large amount of discussion anyways.

I've never heard of anything of this nature regarding comments though.

Genuine question: what's wrong with a client-side SPA and a server-side backend for 90% of small-to-midsized SaaS apps?

I see why Vercel would want everyone using SSR and their opaque server-side caching, but why do generic non-FAANG-scale web apps want it on day one?

When Next became a Vercel sales tool, I switched to React + Vite + backend, and everything just got so much easier.
Yes, but being against excessive anything is a tautology, as "excessive" by definition means "too much". The question is "how much is too much", and the bar is much lower in the US than in Europe.

In your case of doing some drawing there’s not really any downside to doing it badly other than a bit of time you might consider wasted, and the cost of a few sheets of paper. If you’re working on mains electrics the downside is potentially as bad as your house burning down with everyone in it. In that case it’s probably worth watching a few tutorials first.

There is a huge bias against homeless populations throughout the states. They’ve been depicted and demonized unilaterally as drug users and law breakers/undesirables but that couldn’t be farther from the truth for many many people. Homelessness is the direct result of a societal failure to secure our populations basic needs and that means we are all to blame to a certain extent. They are people from our communities that we’ve sidelined and largely ignored but nobody likes to think they’re the bad guy.
I run to get fit but it is also freeing to know your body can cover distance without much effort.

If a pair of shoes could extend my range I am all for it.
