The fact that companies making sugary cereals haven't gone out of business and the current obesity crisis suggest to me that those TV commercials are also quite harmful. Something causes people to switch off their brains and feed their kids cookies and marshmallows for breakfast as long as the TV says it's okay and normal.

My dream is to have a device about the form factor of a Flipper Zero (with the same buttons) that I can then plug into a e-ink monitor and mechanical keyboard to turn it into a text editor.

I have built a few prototypes with Raspberry Pi Zeros, which are luxurious web servers -- 512mb of ram, capable of utilizing a 2tb sd card.
> Lawyers are supposed to be educated risk mitigators, working to maximize value not just minimize risk.

Not so sure I agree with this. Lawyers are supposed to provide an analysis of the legal risks of things the company wants to do. It's the job of management to take that information and weigh it against the other business factors to determine if the risk is worth taking or not.

If a company is too risk-averse, legally speaking, that's a fault of management, not the lawyers.

That said, good lawyers won't just give a binary "recommend/don't recommend" answer. They'll also provide various options for other ways of doing something that have different risk profiles.

Who would control it? There isn't just one "Linux community". There are multiple organizations that use Linux, and the ones that are well-managed tend to do the best.

I used the analogy of having a heart attack to describe why making medical care market-driven is not wise. Imagine being loaded into the ambulance, and the driver asks, "Do you want to go to the nearest hospital, or do you want to call around and see which hospital is in-network and has the best price for cardiac care?"

If you have that small tight ball of nuclear fire burning in your chest, indicating something is very wrong, you really want to get to the hospital right away. Unfortunately, when you are having a cardiac event, you will make stupid decisions. I'm sure you can guess how I know.
I see a slightly restyled Mate desktop environment. Nothing really new, some marginal advantage like a tiny bit more visible window focus. Scrollbars still invisible. Buttons even harder to distinguish from not-buttons, and not clear how a disabled button can look when everything is so graywashed. Generally, looks like another designers take on style, not usability.
This is a lot like wishing car manufacturers would unify on how to build a car.

And I mean that not as a dismissal. Standards on many things are nice. So is exploring all of the area left open by the standards.

I think it is an open question on whether or not we could have more standards around what a desktop environment should/could be? Unfortunately, I don't know that there is a company in a good position to build out new standards, at the moment. Most of the big companies are largely content to work alone in their world. Maybe build up a sandbox that keeps developers there.
I've been using vertical tabs (first TreeStyleTabs, now Sideberry for the last ~6 months) and I'm in the same boat.

Chrome is faster, snappier and works better on more websites I commonly use, but the fact that I cannot have "vertical tabs as trees" ruins the entire browser experience for me, so it's basically the only reason I use Firefox for the last decade or something.
This is great data to share to rapidly frame the situation and the risk, and the worrisome part is that Florida can continue on its course relying on federal government funding whenever there is a disaster through disaster declarations. Some sort of back pressure mechanism is needed to dissuade folks from moving to high climate risk areas, but that is in direct conflict with states with high climate risk incentivizing and desiring economic activity through mass migration to them.

I suppose the bright side of this is that the general fund is funded by federal tax due of the top 40% of US taxpayers, so there is a very coarse progressive taxation mechanism to this climate cost liability. Still not great!
Hiring manager here: the market is tough -- really tough. But there _are_ jobs out there for people with your skill set, and you can find one if you really want to.

If I were in your shoes, I'd consider three options:

1. Take as long as you need to to find a job that resonates with you, regardless of pay. This is probably the most ideal option, as it's going to mean the most stability and least stress, but also given the market, probably harder to achieve.

2. Embrace semi-retirement and become a part-time consultant or contractor. This will let you have enough time to enjoy your 50s without being constantly sucked into work, but still have some discretionary income coming in and keep you mentally stimulated. The challenge here is finding clients, which is a time suck and not very fun.

3. My personal preference: bootstrap your own company! Be your own boss! The only thing you need to spend is your own time, at least at first, and as a recently retired person, you have plenty of that. You won't face age discrimination, you won't have to report to some middle manager kid on a power trip. You set your own rules, your own hours, and control your own destiny. Downside is that this can be a lot of work, and possibly very lonely, unless you can find some cofounders.

I'm aiming to be in your shoes in the next 5 years, so I've been thinking about this a lot. I wish you the best of luck!
this is such a generic statement... as long as you de-allocate on exit it wont show up as leak, that doesnt mean the app is not continuously allocating more memory, whether as bug or for a valid reason is up to you to find out...

Here in bc Canada we had profitable intercity rail (bc rail), a previous conservative government were elected with the promise they wouldn’t sell it, they instead leased it for 99 years cheaply and that was the end of passenger rail for most the province. Greyhound took up the slack but 10ish years ago they pulled out leavings nearly no way to get between cities without a car. There are now some private bus companies but as I understand it they are really expensive with terrible schedules.

It’s honestly sad how public transport was left to rot/fail/or sold off in North America.

And how people now go “it won’t work here! Europe is more dense! Things are too far apart” Ignoring it did and was (at least in bc) a few short decades ago

You certainly reserve the right. However it is unclear to me why the recommendation to complaints over a months-long period is a product that has just been released.

Trying to ask in a very unbiased way since as a hobbyist I’m looking into ST, Microchip, and RP2040. For my part I’ve had two out of four RP2040 come to me dead on arrival, as part of two separate boards from different vendors - one being Pi Pico from Digilent. Not a ton of experience with Microchip but I hear they have their own problems. Nobody’s perfect, the question is how do the options compare.

At first I was going to say something like "Well with that attitude we'll never get the 'year of the Linux desktop.' But actually, what you say describes exactly what the Linux desktop is.

It isn't about hegemony but rather a free marketplace of ideas and philosophies that gives its users a depth of choice between desktops and configurability within desktops that you can't find in any other operating system. So with your philosophy the "year of the Linux desktop" has already happened and is continuing to.

In other words it's ok for people quit obsessing over low market-share and instead enjoy their freedom.
What if Apple held an instant auction for every search and awarded the search work to the highest bidder each time? :)
I'm not sure why you are being downvoted. I personally like Elementary the most, and it has an objectively robust strategy of copying macOS.

Why it is hard to take leadership of the desktop on Linux? There's lots of crappy, buggy projects. They differentiate themselves on meaningless, non-functional experiential things like theming specifications, what programming language you write so and so functionality in, the licenses, etc.

The tiny audience of "undecideds" in the Linux ecosystem adopt stuff for stupid reasons. Meanwhile normal people are obviously happy to use macOS. To copy macOS and deliver what those people need, you need millions of dollars of product development every year. You'd have nothing to show for it year after year. So it's very hard.

> Weird demo, suboptimal science, but nevertheless you've now got homeless people stuffed with anti-aging drugs.

Anti-aging drug. Not anti death drug. We don't keep more lab rats than we need. Not to mention lab rats aren't known for their quality of life. You aren't going to wait thousand years. You'll find a way to induce aging. Then run a battery of tests.

Yeah, no. First that is not necessary for full automation. Second. It's a replicator, not a magic entropy defying system. Energy for it has to come from somewhere and they aren't free.
Is Intel's market essentially restricted to the server space these days? Laptops and Mobile devices are (or are transitioning to in the Windows world) ARM processors, i.e. not Intel. AI is "owned" by NVIDIA. Of course, that could change but Intel doesn't seem to be interested in the AI market. Doesn't that just leave them with servers? As Windows transitions to ARM, and Linux is already available on ARM - how long will the server business last?

Are we witnessing the end of Intel? I just don't see what future they have outside of niche markets that don't support current revenues.

Ticketing on the UK train network is completely inscrutable.

Perhaps the A->C ticket entitles you to travel on either an air-conditioned nonstop high speed train, or a slower train that stops a lot along the way, and buying A->B and B->C tickets you can only travel on the slow train and that's cheaper.

Perhaps all the discount advanced-booking tickets leaving A have sold, mostly to people only doing A->B, and when you look up B->C there are discount advanced booking tickets still available.

Perhaps you depart A during peak hours and so pay a peak fare, but as the B->C portion of the journey starts later, it doesn't fall into peak travel hours.
Make one in an Arduino Uno form factor and double the price and they'd make a killing :-)

Companies goals include backward compatibility, ease of integration with existing hardware blocks (esp GPU’s/AI), raw speed, memory efficiency, and energy use. Most security features either work against these or are perceived to. They also usually cost more in development while slowing it down. If they don’t, you might run into unknowns that risk tanking the whole project. The Snowden leaks showed many big companies were also paid to make their software vulnerable on purpose which CHERI would work against.

There’s also motivations. Companies usually don’t care about real security because they’ll be rich anyway. FOSS people are motivated by what they enjoy which is rarely securing the codebase. Relevant to Apple and Google, some companies will ignore good solutions, even permissively licensed, because they’re Not Invented Here. It has to be their way or it won’t happen at all.

Any of these might be motivators for Apple not baking in something like CHERI. I agree with you that they’re in the best position. If I was ever hired by them, and able to influence a big decision, baking memory safety into the CPU in a compatibility-preserving way was one of the first decisions I’d have made. It would be a huge differentiator.

> They really need to get out of this stale and boring state and innovate more

I'm just as excited as you are for side tabs, but I don't think browsers need to be constantly innovating their UI. In fact, the last time Firefox did that it took a week of tinkering to get it back to a usable state, and I now have the constant "Compact (Unsupported)" layout hovering over me, reminding me that one day I'll probably have to tinker even more.

I use the browser for at least 8 hours a day, I don't need the experience constantly changing, it's a tool. "stale" and "boring" is also "stable" and "dependable".
I found the part about clay cisterns fascinating (6:40). Does anyone know the trade-offs about lining the outside of cellar walls with a thick layer of clay.

If what you want is auto-complete (e.g. CoPilot, or natural language search) then LLMs are built for that, and useful.

If what you want it AGI then design an architecture with the necessary moving parts! Current approach reminds of the joke of the drunk looking for his dropped cars keys under the street lamp because "it's bright here", rather than near where he actually dropped them. It seems folk have spent years trying to come up with alternate learning mechanisms to gradient descent (or RL), and having failed are now trying to use SGD/pre-training for AGI "because it's what we've got", as opposed to doing the hard work of designing the type of always-on online learning algorithm that AGI actually requires.

I don't think it's correct to say that JSONL is any more vulnerable to invalid data than other message framings. There's literally no system out there that can fully protect you from bugs in your own application. But the client libraries do validate the framing for you automatically, so in practice the risk is low. I've been running decently large Gazette clusters for years now using the JSONL framing, and have never seen a consumer write invalid JSON to a journal.

The choice of message framing is left to the writers/consumers, so there's also nothing preventing you from using a message framing that you like better. Similarly, there's nothing preventing you from adding metadata that identifies the writer. Having this flexibility can be seen as either a benefit or a pain. If you see it as a pain and want something that's more high-level but less flexible, then you can check out Estuary Flow, which builds on Gazette journals to provide higher-level "Collections" that support many more features.

Sidebery is amazing. I have been using it for more than a year now and I love it.
Weird to use market metaphors to describe things that are not commodities. Plurality is the key here, everyone free to choose their own software. The "free marketplace of ideas" metaphor implies that there's some natural process determining which ideas are ultimately the best, when really it's qualitative and very subjective.

I assume that YC is looking for people who have validated the market and have established that a market exists before sinking time and effort on the order of years into a product with no customers.

Code is relatively easy against the task of meeting with customers and finding the right fit for your product.

I say this as a coder who much more prefers the scratching of a technical itch to the thought of finding a customer who will pay.
The Swiss rail lines are used close to capacity. If a train is too much late, it has follow-on effects on other trains, and the whole railway system can start to run into problems. So for the whole system to work, there can't be any overly late trains. This applies to all trains, not just German trains.

So this doesn't really have anything to do with that single train not being on time, or with differences in culture or something like that, it's about keeping the system running. If you have a system that isn't used at capacity, then it doesn't matter much if individual trains run late, the system itself will still keep on running.
Man, with that late time percentage, the Germans are trying to compete with Amtrak in the US.
The Boeing ceo did resign yesterday fwiw.
In your example a train arriving at 9:45 scheduled to arrive at 9:42 would still be on-time in Switzerland.
