Understood but I thought it was clear at least from my post that this isn't a distribution problem. I've certainly tried the distribution version, building from source, and various other things.

I have a counter-request: It's really frustrating when people are like "It just works! I had no problem! It's so easy!" in response to someone who has clearly struggled to get things working. It'd be like someone telling you they just had a car crash from a mechanical failure and you responding "Well I didn't! I drove home just fine!"

Instead, if you're going to respond at all, something like "I'm sorry, don't give up. I hope you figure it out" would be nice.
Dhcpcd replacing dhclient for Debian Trixie or perhaps networkd?

That would be your headset being in headset mode. I'm on Debian Testing, and I'm finally able to exit headset mode and use a high quality audio codec instead. I hope that's the direction Linux is heading.

> Why did the US drop 2 nuclear bombs on Japan?

Japan declared war on the US. Didn't surrender when it became obvious they were going to lose and instead decided to inflict as many casualties on the as they could on the way down. So they got nuked.

> Why the US is keeping Israel as their toy?

The US inherited a lot of messes after WWII. Not really the US fault the Palestinians always make bad choices.

> Why the US entered the Vietnam war (hint: no, not to avoid the spread of communism)

Hint you are 100% self servingly wrong about that.

> US is the bad boy of this planet, just because they can

I've come to the opinion people that say this are upset that the US stands in the way of some nastiness they want to inflict on someone.

Why wouldn't they redistribute to other maintainers of the plugins/clients. They have much more knowlegde of where money is needed or where resources are lacking.

Or pay devs, not in their circle to build the features the community wants but they can't (lack of expertise, or otherwise) implement?

> Look, anytime you have a waiting list for something, capitalism has broken.

Not entirely true.

A day care has variable costs that jump at the kid count modulo something. Often a government-mandated ratio of adults to kids at various age groups. And adults that have to be paid some government-mandated minimum wage plus some benefits.

Therefore, a day care may be profitable for N kids but not profitable for N+1 kids.

So, the rational choice for a day care may be to optimize for always, always having exactly N kids. Hence, wait lists so when 1 kid departs another kid can immediately replace them.

N might vary if the owner chooses to work as a caretaker. Has some sweet rent deal on a fixed amount of space. Etc.

Notice, this sketch of why wait lists may exist isn't due to capitalism. It's due to a rational response to governmental mandates atop capitalism.

> You raise prices until you don't have a waiting list.

Nah, the parent decides to hire a nanny. Or to host an au pair. Or to move closer to family foregoing some earnings potential. That's the way to buy your way out via substitute goods using just money.

(Notice those substitutes operate in different regulatory regimes. Notice also the day care has to compete against those substitute goods! There's a limit to what parents will pay.)

Nintendo is notoriously litigious. It is naive to think you’re “pretty safe” from them. If they want to sue you, they will, and could bankrupt you with the legal fees alone.

Perhaps they are trying to do the same thing as Apple and are claiming Windows on Arm is a separate product that this doesn't apply to.
The exploit is that the video is actually an APK. So tapping the video -> "Telegram cannot play this. Open in an external app?" -> Afterwards prompts the user to install the APK.

As such, the user must give Telegram rights to install unknown APKs for it to work. The user will be prompted to enable this setting, but I guess they might think it's Telegram recommending a video player and actually go through with it.

The "mess" of Linux audio is due to ONE reason:
single-client ALSA driver model.

every other layer is a coping mechanism and the plurality and divergence of the FOSS community responds in various ways:
- Jack
- PulseAudio
- PipeWire

I am unclear why Jaroslav Kyocera chose to make ALSA single-client, but Apples CoreAudio multi-client driver model is the right way to do digital audio on general-purpose computing devices running multi-tasking OS'es on application processors, in my opinion.

Current issues this article does not address that actually constitute large parts of the "mess" of Linux Audio:

- channel mapping that is not transparent nor clearly assigned anywhere in userspace.
(aka, why does my computer insist that my multi-input pro-audio interface is a surround-sound interface? I don't WANT high-pass-filters on the primary L/R pair of channels. I am not USING a subwoofer. WTF)

- the lack of a STANDARD for channel-mapping, vs the Alsa config standards, /etc/asound.conf etc.

- the lack of friendly nomenclature on hardware inputs/outputs for DAW software, whether on the ALSA layer, or some sound-server layer.
(not to mention that ALSA calls an 8-channel audio-interface "4 stereo devices")

- probably more, but I can't remember. My current audio production systems have the DAW software directly opening an ALSA device. I cannot listen to audio elsewhere until I quit my DAW. This works and I can set my latency as low as the hardware will allow it.

this is the thing: more than about 10ms latency is unacceptable for audio recording in the multitrack fashion, as one does.
Yes, full relay nodes were few and very centralized historically. Source: we have been working with Algorand since the beginning. BTW: we publish updated information about the protocol that you cannot find in the original papers [1].

The Teams web app works very well in Chrome. I only miss being able to set a custom background to my video and popping out presentations into their own window. It seems much lighter on resources too, maybe because Chrome does more of the video encoding or decoding using hardware.

Thanks, that's a very specific list.

I was personally not a fan of the Three Body Problem (apart from the vivid flashback to the Cultural Revolution) because of the language (not clear whether it suffered in translation or whether it was the writing style of the original), and because the physics of it seemed ludicrous to me. But it's one of those "grand idea" series that to me would clearly qualify as winner tier, and it had many fans from across the political spectrum and quite a bit of commercial success.

Blackout/All Clear has been criticized for being rather loose with historical and cultural details, and for splitting up what might have fit into a single novel into two books, but I thought it was an excellent book otherwise.

I thought both the Ancillary Justice trilogy and the A Memory Called Empire trilogy were amazing works. I disagreed with the hectoring pro-Human Spaceflight messaging of The Calculating Stars, but as a book, I again thought it was good.

I was a fan of Anathem, Ninefox Gambit, and The Goblin Emperor (which was my preference to win that year) as well; could not get into Too Like the Lightning at all (but had no doubt that it belonged).
I already have the cure growing in my head.

My hairline started receding somewhere in my 30's, but on the one side of my forehead there is this one single remaining hair that refuses to give up, no matter what.

Do you mean writing something similar for MySQL or building a MySQL service at Ubicloud?

For the first one, the answer would be no, because I don't have any expertise on MySQL. I only used it years ago on my hobby projects. I'm not the best person to write something like this for MySQL.

For the second one, the answer would be maybe, but not any time soon. We have list of services that we want to build at Ubicloud and currently services like K8s have more priority.

BetterDisplay for macOS: Flexible HiDPI scaling and more
Just discovered BetterDisplay. It enables me to use HiDPI scaling on a wide display. Stock macOS only downscales, which sucks.

To have full features, need to pay ($18) but I'm very happy to do so after the default-on 15 day trial (no need to register/use credit card up front). I should have discovered this app way earlier.

Brew install: `brew install --cask betterdisplay`

> Is this something professional programmers are having trouble with??

Nobody said this.

There is value in thinking about things like this sometimes, because it has long-term consequences for the projects we work on. Even if you're a "professional" programmer (whatever that means), it's valuable to go back to beliefs and knowledge you've established long ago to evaluate whether to change them in the face of new experiences you've made since the last time you've thought about it.

If you think "professional" programmers don't get this sort of thing wrong in some form or another, I have a bridge to sell you.
I really don't think so. Crashing the system is still a long way from controlling the system - no implication there.
Dang, could you delete my account? I've tried to look up how to do it and it seems to be possible only upon request from a moderator. I asked pvg below but got no answer.

I appreciate your polite intervention and that moderation is a hard job, but I've no interest in engaging further in the manner which I now understand from my exchange with pvg below that I'm supposed to have inferred from the guidelines.

I feel like my style of interacting is relatively consistent throughout my time on the site, but suddenly I get flagged twice when I'm making an unpopular point strongly. I refuse to go about softening my points because they're liable to be flagged, and would prefer to spare you the bother of having to step in. I'm just not interested in exchanging lowest-common-denominator type takes and worrying about flagging and popularity.

Anyway, no hard feelings, maybe a bit of cultural confusion, but I'll deal with that on my own side. If you could let me know if there's anything I can do to get the account deleted, that'd be great.

> nothing I do really matters

That’s not necessarily negative. I’ll sometimes say that to myself when I’m feeling down as a way of freeing myself from whatever thoughts are feeling too heavy. I’m not really into stoicism, but I think it’s what memento mori is getting at.
This is often referred to as "row typing", and the only language I've ever used that implemented it first-class with polymorphism is Purescript[0]. It's possible to model such things in other languages with sufficiently powerful type systems, though they're normally not as nice to use.

As an aside, Purescript is one of the most fun languages I've ever used for frontend work, and I lament that Elm seems to have overtaken it in the FP community.

Yeah, I've dealt with some of those edge cases on AWS and GCP.

Some examples:

1. I've seen a delay of hours without any messages being sent on the replication protocol, likely due to a large transaction in the WAL not committed when running out of disk space.

2. `PgError.58P02: could not create file \"pg_replslot/<slot_name>/state.tmp\": File exists`

3. `replication slot "..." is active for PID ...`, with some system process holding on to the replication slot.

4. `can no longer get changes from replication slot "<slot_name>". ... This slot has never previously reserved WAL, or it has been invalidated`.

All of these require manual intervention on the server to resolve.

And that's not even taking into account HA/failover, these are just issues with logical replication on a single node. It's still a great feature though, and often worth having to deal with these issues now and then.
Oh no, it's not. I've swapped modes more than imaginable. And even if it were in headset mode the quality would be inacceptable compared to what I was getting on windows. I even manually tried to change pulseaudio settinga for that device with no luck. And I don't feel like turning this thread into a debugging session. But, like, correctly figuring out reasonable bitrates should work by default.

Well, we had a lot of layers in Linux Audio the last 30 years. But when PulseAudio was forced into the world by a c-section, with everyone in the LA community already knowing its a still-birth, I kind of lost trust in coordinated project creation. PA makes me so unhappy that I totally uninstall it whereever I see it. Good for me that I am just a console user, because the damn beast is all over the GUI space.

Fact is, RT audio is hard, and the peoplebehind JACK have cared for the underlying problems for a long time already.

Maybe PipeWire, but to be honest, it reminds me too much of PA.

I guess I will stay with plain JACK and SuperCollider as my toolbelt, and not care about PA or PW. Like the grumpy old hacker I am.
I hope you figure it out :)

I think the stars just aligned for me, and it worked. Not an expert at all on these things.
ALL donations to non-profit organizations are purpose-bound to some extend. That's why the relevant organizational structures that allow for tax-exempt donations usually legally bind the origanization to using that money to further it's stated mission and not blow it all on hookers for the board or whatever other pet projects the organization's leadership wants to further. This is how donations are SUPPOSED to work: contribute money towards a COMMON goal, not towards someone else's goal. Donations are not free money. It is a real problem when organizations become so broad you don't really know what you are donating towards. Often such organizations end up using deceptive tactics where they use one of their popular projects (e.g. Wikipedia) to drum up funds that they intend to use for unrelated projects that are not advertised to the donor. The best solution is to keep the scope of the organization tight and tell donors to donated to other organizations as well based on their own preferences. This seems to be what Jellyfin has chosen to do and it's the right choice.
Sounds like HFP. For me on Ubuntu you can choose between audio playback profile and HFP in the sound settings ui, but maybe you have an app running that is changing that setting.

Somebody else posted a link with data from 2022 and 2023:

> In 2022, there were 22 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births in the U.S. — more than double, sometimes triple, the rate for most other high-income countries in this analysis. In half of the countries, there were less than five maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.

> It’s been well documented that the COVID-19 pandemic had a greater impact on Latino people, with one study finding that roughly a third of Latina maternal deaths were linked to COVID. In addition, lower vaccine uptake, especially among Black and Hispanic women, was found to be leading to more maternal deaths by the end of 2021...

> In half of the countries, there were less than five maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (Norway, Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands have less than 3.0). For Black women, maternal mortality is exceptionally high (chart shows 49.5 for black women in the USA).

> In 2022, Norway’s maternal mortality rate was 0.

> All countries, apart from the U.S., guarantee at least one such home visit within one week postpartum, although Medicaid programs in some U.S. states cover these visits.

> The majority of deaths in the U.S. occur in the postpartum period, from one day after giving birth to a full year later.

> All countries included in this study, apart from the U.S., mandate at least 14 weeks of paid leave from work. Several countries provide more than a year of parental or home care leave.

> The U.S. and Canada have the lowest overall supply of midwives and ob-gyns

> Our findings suggest that an undersupply of maternity providers, especially midwives, and lack of access to comprehensive postpartum support, including maternity care coverage and mandated paid maternity leave, are contributing factors.

It seems pretty clear what's happening here.

Scala 3 can do it with some macro tricks. But the performance is not as good as with nominally typed structures.
A definition and common understanding are part of the problem/challenge:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income

It is complex. Although the label UBI suggests a good thing, I believe we should eliminate the term "universal," at least.

Humanity has always dealt with a shortage of resources and their allocation. What is certain is that no amount of UBI will fix this human condition. There will always be differences (not only economic but ideological), and people will try to compensate for them. Rinse and repeat.
I think what you describe is called "extensible records". Elm had them in a prior version. You can implement them in a language with an expressive enough type system (e.g. Haskell or Scala) without special support, but the syntax can be a bit unwieldy.

Here's three recent papers on extensible records:

* https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.06296
* https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.00338
* https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3571224

I'm not claiming these are definitive in any sense, but they are useful guides into the literature if any reader wants to learn more. (If you are not used to reading programming language papers, the introduction, related work, and conclusions are usually the most useful. All the greek in the middle can usually be skipped unless you are trying to implement it.)

Space is what is represented in the output, i.e. in one cell of the terminal grid, whereas control characters like Tab and CR/LF don’t map onto such an output representation. If you want to represent the printed contents of each “grid cell” of a printout or a textmode screen buffer, you don’t need the control characters, only the printable characters. The printable characters are what you’d need in a screen font.
