All I'm saying that in a maze of twisty little dependencies, all alike, it's very tedious to vet them all, and it's much too easy to end up with thousands of crates for the simplest things. And it's very easy to put nefarious things in once there is a will to do so. It all works well if everyone wants to play nice, but this doesn't scale.

I don't know if Rust has the same quirk as JS/npm where a project can transitively depend on several versions of a module and they can coexist. Imagine a crate fixing some nasty shit, but some transitive dependency still pinning a vulnerable version.

I contrast this with Go that has a rich enough standard library so you rarely need a dependency, and you don't need any for mundane stuff, and it makes you think hard about every dependency you introduce. And they got burned early enough so vendoring is a Good Thing now.

And then I compare it with Perl, in that on one hand, it has lots of core modules, but then its standard library is lacking in weird places making you reach for CPAN in 100% of the cases writing a non-trivial program (HTTP/TLS comes to mind), and it would be similar to Rust except that CPAN is very slow-paced these days.

I'm curious to see how it all evolves.
> We need to stop treating real restate--especially residential real estate--as a mechanism for creating wealth.

It's not about treating it this or that way though.

Owning a house is creating wealth, it's not something you can avoid. How could this ever not be the case?

We all agree a home is valuable. So if you buy one (and pay for it over many years), you're acquiring something valuable. As opposed to throwing money away in rent. That's it, you built some wealth. There's no way to make it not be valuable.
Bare in mind that Breiman's polemic was about generative vs discriminative methods. I.e. that we should not start an analysis by thinking about how the data generation can be modelled, but instead we should start with prediction. From that vein came boosted trees, bagging, random forests, xgboost and so on: non generative black box methods.

Still today most of the classical machine learning toolbox is not generative.
You know what they say: Only old people use Facebook.

They already commit a DMA violation by showing any google map at all then. It's not rocket science to conform to the spirit of the law, if they offer a simple API for other map providers to provide their own strings to google it will be solved in a day. They clearly just don't want to actually advertise other mapping providers for free which is something I understand fully btw. But the way they are currently doing it is actively hurting them because I hate how I can't jump to any map from the searc results now.

I find this cool, but as a software engineer I rarely get the chance to run any of the commands mentioned in the article. The reason: our systems run in containers that are stripped down versions of some Linux, and I don’t have shell access to production systems (and usually reproducing a bug on a dev or qa environment is useless because they are very different from prod in terms of load and the like).

So the only chance of running any of the commands in the article are when playing around with my own systems. I guess they would be useful too if I were working as Platform engineer.

The article doesn't seem to offer any actually useful advice other than the obvious tips such as not eating cheetos while handling photos

Humidity: A comfy 30-40%"

This already seems impractical in most of the world... I'm not really sure how you'd ensure that in an affordable way - and the article doesn't really offer any advice. Maybe if you get some special sleeve that keeps the inside dry, and then place the photos in your refrigerator?

Apple has had other misses. They themselves cancelled the iPhone mini.

Good question, if you set any obvious power limit in the BIOS to say 10-20% below the advertised TDP*, would that bring the actual voltages down or would it just underclock the CPU but still use the same dangerous voltages?

Or do you need to go through every obscure voltage setting and bring it down? Will even that be obeyed?

* which has no connection to the real TDP but at least it will tell the CPU ... something ...

I used funtoo a bit back in the day, and have seen a few of the development videos that drobbins posted. While some funtoo features have been backported to portage and gentoo (git support in portage, distribution kernels), I wish more would be. Funtoo had some higher-level ebuild generation utilities and similar nice things that I wish would eventually be made more generally available.

Out of the nice utilities that funtoo has, keychain is the only one I've seen become available across all distributions, and I use this on every single machine.
It's less of a necessity now that systemd can handle gpg-agent and ssh-agent unlocking on login, but I've never been able to figure out how to set that up, keychain is very set-and-forget. It just works.
I'm responsible for managing a small macOS fleet at $DAYJOB and I've struggled with installing software since day 1. I'm a developer and use Homebrew almost daily on my own machine and I love it, I just can't believe I never thought of using it to manage software on my fleet. I've been using the tools that the MDM provided, some of which are great and work well and some of which are just terrible. Usually, this involves me creating some number of custom Bash scripts just to install and configure the software. And how did I not know about the `brew bundle` command and "Brewfile" files?!?

This article is about Workbrew, a "professional" Homebrew, and I'm pretty excited about giving it a try. This could seriously save me tons of time and frustration. Have you ever tried to install and configure Carbonite on the CEO's computer? It's not fun. Hopefully Workbrew can make this easy. :fingers_crossed:
Yes. Everyone has set targets and expectations, which imply a certain product strategy, that are all completely at odds with everything Apple has indicated. Then, they call AVP a failure for.

The article does not seem to cover that question. From previous discussions I have the impression that foreigners are not granted any constitutional rights at the border or even when in their home country (their communication can be freely intercepted). So the US is nowadays on my personal list of totalitarian states that I don't want to travel to. They definitely have better legislation and courts than Russia or North Korea, but in the end the decision is, as a foreigner you don't have those rights, the government does what it sees fit.

Big tech is not inherent in the concept of a tech industry. Big tech is like 6 companies that want to swallow the world. Not being able to separate these two concepts is grade school level literacy and critical thinking. It’s not acceptable to conflate them. It’s completely ridiculous.

Because SMT getting faster is a nearly free side-effect. We didn't add extra units to speed up SMT at the cost of single-thread speed. We added extra units to speed up the single thread, and they just happened to speed up SMT even more (at least for the purpose of this theoretical). That's better than speeding up SMT the same percent, or not speeding up SMT at all.

Imagine if I took a CPU and just made SMT slower, no other changes. That would be a bad thing even though it gets the speedup closer to 0%, right? And then if I undo that it's a good thing, right?
This. And it does not even exclude having a (T)UI. Modern terminal tools like neovim, lazygit, zellij, btop++ or yazi can do many things as window management, image previews and colors as well as having mouse support.

I have the “wireless” powered kef ls50 and the regular ones.

The wireless model has significantly better bass response and sounds much better to my ear.

The first reason is because if we supported ts features that require transformation (such as enume) we would also need to support sourcemaps, so in the first iteration I decided not to, to avoid being overwhelmed. Right now we replace inline types with whitespace, so locations are preserved. We plan to add those features, probably behind a flag at the beginning. We need to move in small steps and think very carefully, every decision could make a huge impact on the ecosystem so I decided to start with the smalled subset possible.
United States did actually support Hitler up to a point. USSR boycotted the Olympics in 1936 - United States participated. IBM sold stuff to Hitler, as did Ford and General Motors. Henry Ford was a big fan of Hitler, and his views on the Jews. The US-Nazi Germany trade did not fully cease until 1941, about the same time when Soviet trade with Nazi Germany ceased because Germany broke the pact and attacked. In fact, as far as I can tell, all European countries without any exceptions traded with Hitler all the way until at least 1939, or in some cases even later. Some nominally "neutral" countries, such as the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and some others, traded with Nazi Germany throughout the war. Your point is?

If somebody's kid dies from polio or whatever, there's no solving that by talking about feelings. Scientists and doctors can make sure it doesn't happen again but we're talking about the way parents reacted, or didn't react, to trauma. If in fact they generally didn't talk about it and just soldiered on, that was an effective method of dealing with it. Better than spending years in therapy crying about it, as seems to be fashionable these days, which won't bring their kid back. And particularly, moving on without dwelling on the past seems better for the surviving children than the parents becoming overprotective (the thesis of this discussion, if I've understood it.)

> their board doesn't even have confidence that Nokia's internal talent pool can lead them to make a mobile phone!

I'm sorry but it's honestly pointless discussing this as no one in this thread wants to spend even an ounce of time into researching this. Reading your comment in it's entirety tells me you weren't there when stuff was happening.

> That was an A-Team EU hardware company's performance.

For the record, the Lumia phones had A-Tier hardware in them. They boasted the best low light cameras on phones for a while around ~2012.

Nokia made the Lumia phones, MS provided the operating system. Previously, Nokia had their own Linux based OS, called Maemo, which was originally supposed to run on what became Lumia. It later formed into Sailfish OS, which had it's own device family.

The issue wasn't the hardware platform itself, it was the fact that Nokia decided to go with the MS ecosystem, instead of Android. And honestly, I don't even think that was a bad move. I am at a loss trying to figure out how device manufacturers actually make profits based on what has turned into extremely restrictive licensing deals with Google in order to get GAPPS on their phones.
"before we've even had a chance to experience both the upside and downside, so the innovation never happens at all."

Let me laugh out loud. Those, who govern these companies know 10 years ahead how and what will happen. Bigdiks higher up has 10-20 year plans. And people talk about "before we had a chance to experience the upsides and the downsides". Get a grip on reality.

It's not like europe has any viable economic future left anyways. They've regulated, taxed and sanctioned their own industries out of existence and tourism is an excessively poor substitute economically. Good luck having high-tech industry or market without domestic support for it.

Everybody wants to cut spending, but they all want to cut different parts of the spending. It’s a conundrum.
On my todo list is to build my own set of network attached speakers. superficially, it does not appear too hard, that is, seemingly possible for even my very limited mechanical integration skills.

BOM: a halfway nice powered speaker with an integral amp and a single board computer. mount the sbc onto the speaker. then use a audio server to ship the sound around. I am a huge obsd fanboy so I would use sndiod but the linux ones(pipewire?) would probably be better for the task.

The main thing stopping me from doing it is that it turns out I dislike dumping sound into the atmosphere, nothing wrong with it, I just don't enjoy blasting music. so I just stick to my headphones, and think about it once in a while.
So if you own example.com and use bigboss@example.com as log in to greatonlinegame.com ...

Someone can register example.com with google workspace and then they can use "login with google" to log in to your bigboss@example.com account at greatonlinegame.com, even though your account did not use "login with google".

Did i get it right?

And if i did, i wonder...

Why aren't these logins separate on greatonlinegame.com? If I did it i'd allow a login only by the method that was used to create the account, unless the user configures it otherwise.
While it sounds great that it's finally getting some much-needed love, I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of "we need to have everything systemd has". It's good to be opinionated and come up with solutions of your own. Systems work fine without systemd's entire featureset, and it's not openrc's job to be compatible.

Out of those you listed, I only think readiness notifications are necessary for the existing OpenRC featureset to work more reliably. I'd rather enshrine a different method of doing user services (for example[1]) instead of having openrc require elogind to take over user session tracking, and I'm not a huge fan of socket activation bloating up the amount of running processes the longer the machine runs, outside of the user's control.

The entire article keeps saying "Europe" when it means "EU". Many European countries, including some large ones (Russia, the UK, Norway, Switzerland, Ukraine...) are not EU members.

The article makes a number of questionable assertions such as "Non-personalized ads cannot economically sustain Meta’s services". I do not know whether that is true or not. Apple has a history of malicious so. I think there are multiple reasons the US dominates tech, and I do not believe "the EU’s rules all but ensure there are no comparably successful European companies". There are many successful European tech companies, as the article mentions later on (it links to a list of the largest that is clearly out of date - for example that omits ARM).

I also disagree with its analysis of why. If you look at their list of large tech companies, and there are a lot of Chinese ones which largely exist because China was protectionist and favoured domestic over US companies. I would argue, if anything, the EU (and other European companies) have not regulated American companies enough, to produce their own competitors. In particular they rarely block takeovers by established players of potential future competitors.

I agree the EU's approach to regulation is often badly flawed, but the DMA seems to be a reasonable approach - as other comments have said it only targets businesses with a lot of market power.
