It's easier to do small releases often. You have less chances to break multiple parts of the application. You also don't end up in a cycle of "Wait! I'll add just one more thing" which is very common with projects tend to less often.

Neither of which was on point because they both ignored how exactly-once delivery can be done.

The 2GP is not on point because it's about achieving consensus, not exactly-once delivery. Achieving consensus is indeed impossible with unreliable messaging, but that has nothing to do with exactly-once delivery.
I basically expect a bit of ABK acquisition budget to provide the same across all development teams.

Just like Common Language Runtime was announced in 2001, where all Microsoft languages used to be on equal tooling level. Unfortunately to those languages, CLR now means C# Language Runtime.

Microsoft isn't a poor startup trying to make it over the next month, as shown not only by ABK, their whole profit and market valuation.

By the way, C++/CLI was recently updated to C++20, as of last year, and is a critical component of WPF, remade official GUI framework at BUILD 2024.

No use to keep discussing this, lets see how much F# is there in .NET 9 and VS 2024 update when November comes.
A convex function is a function that is bowl shaped such a parabola, `x^2`. If you take two points and connect them with a straight line, then Jensen's inequality tells you that the function lies below this straight line. Basically, `f(cx+(1-c)y) <= c f(x) + (1-c) f(y)` for `0<=c<=1`. The expression `cx+(1-c)y` provides a way to move between a point `x` and a point `y`. The expression on the left of the inequality is the evaluation of the function along this line. The expression on the right is the straight line connecting the two points.

There are a bunch of generalizations to this. It works for any convex combination of points. A convex combination of points is a weighted sum of points where the weights are positive and add to 1. If one is careful, eventually this can become an infinite convex combination of points, which means that the inequality holds with integrals.

In my opinion, the wiki article is not well written.
> As long as it keeps translating Windows,

For people to be able to play games on your platform, there must be games running on it, and the reality is that people won't bother developing commercial games targeting explicitly Linux, at least not if Linux is at 2% market share. Being able to run the games which already exist is a massive adoption boost.

> and doesn't lose to the handhelds running Windows proper.

It's not just about handhelds, I don't have a Steam Deck yet I can use pretty much all games I want on my Linux Desktop thanks to Valve's work.

> Lost opportunity to actually make Linux gaming take off.

No, unless you restrict “Linux gaming” to games that are natively developed for Linux, which is pretty much arbitrary.

Should Linux reach double digit market share, then maybe it will become commercially viable to do so, but the reality is that before Valve did their magic, playing on Linux was hit or miss and every gamer around me had a Windows dual boot. It's not the case anymore, and that's really weird to see it as a “lost opportunity” (but I know some people really love to be contrarians on HN).

Its far more than just being scammed by button pusher #300 at FB to me. All of Big Tech are active targets of very seriously motivated people attempting to get the gourd of information each of these companies collect. And many times they succeed.

Microsoft for example has an active bulletin of various organizations from nearly every country in the world.

As does Google, as does Facebook, and so on. Some of these companies coordinate on espionage as well.

But that is getting beside the point which is you giving up your information is far more than opening yourself up to scams.

ACE 6 for me.

40s is when it caught up with me, and of course kids exacerbated it for me too there was a lot of people and places I never wanted to see again, in fact when I met my wife I told her I was an orphan!

As I got older I started feeling genuinely alien to my coworkers, they are so happy and their parents loving and their upbringings wholesome. I just feel absolutely stunted by comparison, half-developed, half-grown. Weed helped me process a lot of my feelings and anger I guess, that's good enough for me but as Rambo says: "I’ve not changed. I just try to keep a lid on it".

Most people find it incredibly annoying when somebody they don't like makes a good point. Often they would rather reject the good point to avoid agreeing with the despicable author if it. They value long-term group identity / loyalty higher than any particular good point [1].

For instance, much of the initial research into the harms of smoking was done in Germany in Nazi times. While the results were largely correct (and later confirmed elsewhere), it was much easier for tobacco proponents to contest or reject them on the grounds of the Nazi Germany origins.

The built in DB makes this very interesting to me. Although I would prefer sqlite. The low LOC count is nice to know.

Minimilism is something that is hard to get right on the web. The cliche is people avoid django because it is too complex then hand build all its features anyway over time!

However some jobs are minimal esp. internal dashboards so there is a place for it. You may find fasthtml which is also minimal interesting.

Curious: why Java and not Go? Go seems more in line with being minimal. Especially for deployment.

My biggest gripe with multi-profile support is that it mixes the taskbar icons in windows. There's a multi-step workaround that involves the registry and cloning programs files folders to fix this specific issue but you need to do it for each new profile and it breaks constantly with updates and doesn't work consistently even in between updates. Yes, containers solve some of the problems that chrome profiles attempt to solve but I still have a work profile and personal profile which I like to keep separate.

Unless there's a way to create containers that also disable extensions in their context I will always need multiple profiles.

I feel like that would be next on the list anyways because the original AC system was belt driven off the motor that no longer exists. And since this sits in place of the original motor I would imagine if there isn't already some special motor to drive an accessory belt then the AC was removed anyways. Maybe fitting a new AC system was already considered but otherwise there likely is none.

They're talking about Bayesian priors. Basically prior assumptions about the likelihood of a subject.

It's a common phrase in the ratsphere (and its descendants).

Changing your mind is one outcome, but the implication is that it requires a complete reexamining of your worldview, as changing the internalized probabilities can have many effects on perceived likely outcomes.

You may think it's pedantic, but in this case it's a significant distinction.

"popular music" != "pop music"

The term "popular music" is an umbrella for music that has "wide appeal" and associated with "large audiences" [0] -- i.e. it's a statistical term.

It can apply to many "genres" (that's the music industry term, rather than categories).

One of those genres[1] is "pop music"[2]. And after your clarification, I now assume your OP actually meant "pop music".

Will have to read this (the PDF) in a free minute. Almost sounds a bit like the Manual by KLF (which was for dance music production)

Suppose websites don't change. What should Linux do about:

1. Packages only offering building from source for the Linux crowd.

2. Packages with soft DRM, offering Windows builds easily and Linux builds referencing the forums.

3. Packages with hard DRM, actively rejecting attempts to run on Linux.

4. "Downloads" built for YUM or APT or whatever.

5. "Downloads" which are basically just scripts designed to shit all over your directory structure and do the real installation later.

6. Downloads only available for a particular distro, and only then by trusting a third-party repo and otherwise doing key-based shenanigans.

...

I bet you could get a decent chunk of the way there with a script turning the "normal" install procedure from that above garbage into a nice desktop icon and an easily deletable binary (with an associated uninstallation script), but people package software differently for Linux than they do for other OS's, and unless you change that part of the culture or manually package a lot more things I don't think you'll solve that particular problem.

Agreed. This sort of posting is against the HN community guidelines:

- don’t say hacker news is turning into Reddit (not explicitly the case here, but similar in spirit)

Yeah, some responses will be less thoughtful than others, but that’s what voting is for.
is there a demo? what can you make with this?
I think that this may apply to some people but as a blanket statement it feels incorrect because there are tons of counterexamples.

Plenty of very successful people that I know personally think that attention-hacking stuff like Mr Beast videos, YouTube/Instagram/TikTok shorts etc are bad news.

Hell, I wouldn't consider myself Steve Jobs level, but I think I've done alright, and I feel that way, so, er, where does that leave me? Do I need 700 million or whatever for it to not be sour grapes? There are plenty of extremely successful (whether financial or otherwise) individuals that I do respect.

If crypto is the bar, Linux looks even worse. At least crypto was novel in the past 30 years. Linux works on new hardware and... that's it. There's nothing new about Linux. As far as OSes go there is seL4 other interesting research. Linux is a toilet. It flushes. It has utility. That's good, but I don't need to hear about every new release of something which just isn't changing in fundamental ways.

Simply observing a correlation in the wild is not evidence.
Spurious correlations occur all the time. Even if it's a true correlation, that doesn't imply causation - they could both be unrelated results of some common cause.

You need something more rigorous than "there is a correlation" to support something that important.

This surprises me (as a non-scientist). As the observation is clearly real and clearly fits in somewhere to the web (the human body works after all), so it is just not valuable because it cannot easily be published without additional work?

> because you can't say anything about what it is, what it does, why it's important, or how it connects to what anyone else is publishing about.

That doesn't mean the criticism is false. But it's always weird to me when I see it put forward as a new thing.

Thanks, that makes the position much clearer.

Some questions:

You say, “if there's enough pressure to make a little crack, then the fluid can instantly expand and immediately make a big crack”. My admittedly quite surface level view of the research is that it is viewed as feasible in this regime.

“Close to the brittle-ductile transition conditions of pressure and temperature, new findings suggest that fractures are sufficiently permeable to allow fluid circulation and, in case of insufficient fracture density, enhancement strategies are likely to be successful”

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12146-0

I also believe that EGS fracture enhancement marginally prefers hydro-shearing (crack expansion) rather than hydro-fracking (crack formation), so if creating cracks is problematic, that leaves options open.

I also note that to my understanding gas fracking is already a thing, cf. nitrogen fracking. So gaseous behavior doesn't obviously seem like an instant write-off to me.

I'm sure that isn't convincing to you, but it's a bit challenging for me as a layman wrt. geothermal to see why I should trust your gut here, so to speak, and I'm wondering if you have a concrete argument I can evaluate on merits?

For example,

"The hypothesis that the brittle–ductile transition (BDT) drastically reduces permeability implies that potentially exploitable geothermal resources (permeability >10−16 m2) consisting of supercritical water could occur only in rocks with unusually high transition temperatures such as basalt. However, tensile fracturing is possible even in ductile rocks, and some permeability–depth relations proposed for the continental crust show no drastic permeability reduction at the BDT."

https://www.nature.com/articles/ngeo2879

I'm definitely not claiming to take these on faith, I'm just saying I haven't really been given a reason to believe those arguments are less trustworthy than your claims otherwise.
