I don't think it's that unfathomable when you look at how governments spend the money. E.g. a public Czech university spent 80k euros to change their logo from this:

to this:

Why does a public university, one of the most popular in the country, need a new logo? And if it needs a new logo, why don't they assign it as a project to the students of arts/marketing faculty?

Small plots are _still_ a problem for most people . 'We' sort off worked around the small plots problem by having the industrial revolution come along and then made jobs available for those who had only small plots.

Hypothetically, if every human had an equal part of earth, relatively fewer would have been in the pathetic state that you mentioned in the per-industrial era, and even less so in the post-industrialization era.

The cops had a warrant. Moreover, search warrants are granted if there's probable cause. Whether someone is a suspect is irrelevant.

This is a hardone for me. In the family we have - 2016 Tacoma, 2015 Rav4, 2016 Mini, 2019 Sprinter RV. None have driver assist, backup cameras only, etc. I've been thinking about dashcams, but only ones where I know what will be published where (IE, not the cloud), so I have a personal record for instance if the kid has an issue in the Mini.

No plans to upgrade or get new vehicles unless a dire need. For instance if Sprinter or Tacoma die, drive the not-dead one. (Sprinter is technially an RV, but used for business).

> So, your comment is based on the premise of this being a discussion surrounding stable. It's not, so I don't know what to make of the rest of your comment on the basis of this incorrect premise.

The repo is literally called "linux-stable-rc"

It wasn't an incorrect premise, just incorrect terminology. Sorry, my bad, I shouldn't have referred to it prematurely as "stable" when it is just undergoing the process of stabilization.

> > in the stable branch timeline

> This has nothing to do with stable. I don't know why you keep talking about stable.

Yes, technically, this isn't officially called "stable" until after the last release candidate, however every release candidate should be considered as an attempt to create the stable release (although pragmatically, nobody expects the first few to have had enough testing to surface all the bugs that are likely to show up) and I don't think it's particularly egregious to talk about this change in the context of the stable branch timeline as -rc releases are just as much part of the timeline as the initial stable release and the later point releases.

For context, this change was being requested for inclusion in -rc6, which was over 4 weeks after the merge window ended. This very well could end up being promoted to the stable release if no more significant bugs are found. There is no way a change of this complexity should have been accepted, and when Linus pointed that out, Kent shouldn't have been arguing about it at all, instead he should have just waited to get it merged into 6.12 as he originally intended.

> The discussion is about bleeding edge mainline Linux.

Yes, it's mainline, but also "bleeding edge" is kind of a misnomer, as it hadn't been accepting feature changes and was in stabilization for producing stable release candidates for a month already, and by that point would have had significant testing.

Sorry for causing confusion my referring to it prematurely as "stable". I don't look at the kernel all that often, and we use a different process with different terminology in our environment. We keep mainline open all the time for ongoing feature work, fork that to "stable" which only accepts bug-fixes and from that we periodically create release candidates which get released for testing and possibly get relabeled as the actual release. Sorry I was still thinking in that mindset when I replied and didn't properly map the concepts back to those used in the kernel.

I think your statements are written in a very confident manner that comes across as trying to win, but this is a nuanced question.

because I can claim it. You're focusing on semantics and attacking the fact that a set definitions can't be done. I think debating the nature of whether semantics maps to a valid conceptualization is probably not very productive.

> If you've done nothing wrong then the reviewer would just trash it.

Or, more likely, they'll just see it as a report and raise your rates, because you've been reported by someone. Because they can; all they need is a reason.

Plus, I don't like the idea that someone I don't like could editorially create a video of it looking like I was driving irresponsibly, and then my rates go up. Then they do it again and again.

Example: When I leave in the morning, I take my daughter to the bus stop. I then wait for her bus to get there, she gets on, and I wait to turn left onto the road. The bus driver waves me on, to take my left before they let the other traffic go, so I don't have to wait for 20+ cars. I turn left and off I go. I expect it wouldn't be hard to edit a video of that to make it look like I pulled up to a bus picking up children and then drove through the bus stop signal illegally.
Taxing unrealized capital gains already isn't all that radical -- property tax is effectively a tax on unrealized gains of property value, and essentially every municipality has that tax.

According to that recent The Information report, Orion is supposed to be just a regular LLM except trained with synthetic data generated via Strawberry. Anthropic et al. have also been working on ways to generate synthetic data (as seen in the success of Sonnet 3.5) so I don't really know if that's going to be a big lead.

And of course the ever-hyped strawberry is supposed to be some sort of tree-of-thought type thing I think, or maybe it's related to https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.14465. Either way, nothing so far has come out that it's a completely novel training technique or architecture, just a gpt-4 scale model with different post-processing.

Right now Debian is in the middle of making sure that all of the 32-bit software has 64-bit time_t. Descendant distributions will benefit from their work.

Are other Linux distributions doing the same thing? Sure, and there was a lot of work in the kernel (mostly in the 5.x series) to get it all nailed down. NetBSD and OpenBSD already tackled it.

But "all" can't be guaranteed, because people insist on keeping elevator controllers and industrial processes and anything which hasn't actually had capacitors explode and resistors melt running for an extra decade.
If anything this puts a slightly higher burden on the dev because you're still always responsible for the underlying CSS, now you just have to be aware of how the utility classes map to CSS.
And when the CSS is "inline" via classes vs raw style then you get consistent padding (p-4) vs some things that vary and are hard to update theme-wide (padding: 8px).

It's basically putting a bunch of CSS into "vars" or macros.

Fine, clearly you are missing the point I am making about how languages become confused with implementations. Just s/TLA+/TLC/ in all the above. Is TLC a programming language implementation or not? Consider for example https://github.com/will62794/tlaplus_repl which evaluates TLC expressions.

So wouldn’t outsourcing this to an external provider not only be unnecessary, but making things slower?

Software freedom is a very important business property.

> Insurance in general is a whole racket. Its literally only works due to the fact people on average pay more than they receive. "Oh but what if a bad thing happens" way to live your life, disregarding economics and averages.

That's literally the _entire_ point of insurance. You pay a little more than the average you're expected to actually need so that, in the event of a catastrophic event, your not on the hook for an amount that would destroy you financially. The fact that any sane person would think that you should expect to collect, on average, more from insurance than you pay into it... is baffling to me. Just plain math would show that's impossible.
> rust insists on a very specific version of various dependencies

It only insists on semver-compatible versions (if a Rust/Cargo package specifies libfoo=5.1, it will work with libfoo=5.9). It's one per major version, not that different from Debian packaging "libfoo5" and "libfoo7" when both are needed.

The difference is that Cargo unifies versions by updating them to the newest compatible, and Debian unifies them by downgrading them to old unsupported versions, ignores compatibility, and reintroduces bugs, and disables required functionality.

Apart from the learning experience, there is still value in a small-sized, fast TUI text editor for Linux.

However, my two suggestions would be:

- add Unicode support (it's the 21st century, so ∑, ®, etc. should finally work); this is not easy, but the earlier you do it the less dramatic the changes will be (check out https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/tree/main/icu4c);

- don't allocate the lines individually (as you do now with malloc, having looked at the code); at least use an arena allocator, i.e. allocate larger chunks of memory and the provide your own alloc_line function that uses the larger chunks (called arenas) piecemeal. This will speed things up and reduce fragmentation. A more advanced approach would be not to use per-line buffers but to switch to rope data structures e.g. https://github.com/josephg/librope).

Your definition is not very useful either: "some degree of human intent and expression is required, at a baseline, for something to be considered art."

I would argue that in both examples I am duplicating art with the correct inputs.

Third-party doctrine is a legal way around the 4A: "The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant."[1]

Only GNU/Linux (in fact any free software) gives you the possibility to fully understand your system. It allows you to drill down to any level required. Thriving for such understanding is a trait of hackers, but having the freedom to do so is beneficial for any software developer- at whom the article was targeted.

I tried designing one of those SSH attack-map websites based around the interfaces in 2001: A Space Odyssey, like these here[1]. It was difficult, I was trying "emulation of low-tech methods" as you said. I think if you could run a shader over top of a web page it'd be easier. I didn't research it that deeply but I don't think that's really a supported use case for web shaders, it would block inputs from using the website if I'm understanding correctly.
