> Okay, do you care about _your_ desktop, or having as many people use Linux as a desktop as possible? Have you considered that these two facts may actually be at odds with each other?

How does trying to help people use Linux have anything to do with Windows or macOS? I don't tell people to use Linux, I tell people not to use Linux, because it sucks. When people do it anyways, they frequently come to me for help because I have more Linux desktop experience than is humanly justifiable.

> We're getting further and further away from your desktop.

My desktop has software on it.

> Wait.. so software got less expensive to develop.. and yet we're concerned about configuration options.. so they're being _reduced_ from what they _historically_ were?

In what way did software get less expensive to develop?

> This is just an exercise in goal post moving at this point.

The goal posts are in your head. I'm not playing some kind of game. You are.
They at least tried: "Results were adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, and sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health factors."
90% of web dev is CRUD and landing pages, so yeah. But this kind of development starts with non-technical product people and designers crafting "unique" requirements and only including engineers at the implementation phase, so "everything is customized". Even within a single product you won't see standardization and automation, just a massive amount of redundancy due to a very fragmented and non-engineering-centric development cycles. The limitations of things like Wix or Wordpress works in their favor.

But the sibling reply makes an important point: most of the tech from Twitter is there because of scale. That's perhaps part of the 10%.
The basic plan is $140 a month.
90% of web dev probably is automated.

A big portion of the web is WordPress sites, created by some site builder, etc.
> You're not losing much by buying a new CPU from them in 2024 or 2025, but you gain much more in return

That's just false. Performance-per-watt, AMD, Intel, Nvidia and Qualcomm still get smoked by comparable M-series chips.

On desktops the equation is different because CPUs and GPUs can go ham with the wattage.
You can't use a shell script or a TCL script to generate the YAML file?
Yes. Once someone automates their webdev with WordPress or Wix or whatever, it no longer counts as webdev.
my bad, I actually got it from this youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KFoB5OEtRA), was trying to the find the source for it, and that same article came up when I searched google for "rosin preserves potatoes"
Downloading Images from US Military Satellites [video]
Interesting — the Firefox team’s response was very negative, but didn’t (in my reading) address use of the API as being part of an otherwise essentially trusted app (as opposed to being an API available to any website).

In reading their comments, I also felt the API was a bad idea. Especially when technology like Electron or Tauri exist, which can do those TCP or UDP connections. But IWA serves to displace Electron, I guess
Stock grants are taxed as wage income.
3000 Kelvin would be useful.

Melting silicon metal requires temperatures in that neighborhood.
Why do we need a KDF for a cache key? Won't a normal cryptographic hash function (or its HMAC variant) suffice?
Perfect! Then their prison jobs could be to provide that dental care to impoverished state health program patients! (Or else they get beat with a SHU.)
Pretty sure I did not. But it was related to blood pressure, stress markers in blood and such as I recall it.
Honestly, I'd want to donate to them more for that
I dunno. To me, the comments seem 99% positive every time this project is discussed here. What are you referring to?
In a roundabout way, Apple tried this in the x86 era with OpenDarwin, and there was no interest for an Apple led open source operating system.

Apple does not have a reason to support any other operating system.

Apple engineers do however both officially and unofficially support Asahi, so there's that.
> Does anyone else consistently get 6 to 7 hours of sleep no matter what

6 hours is too little IMO. If I sleep 6 hours for more than a few days in a row, I feel like shit and need caffeine to wake up properly. Then I end up sleeping 10-12 hours on my days off to compensate (and to take a break from caffeine). It doesn't feel healthy.

So, I try to get at least 8 hours consistently. That way, I don't need caffeine at all and function just about fine.
Although, I did hear that linoeic acid in excess may be detrimental for brain development (and may be one of a handful of reasons that neurodivergence appears to be on the rise). And more than just refined sugar, excess calories make you fat, which both LA and RS have a tendency towards making us eat in excess.

>The reasoning may or may not be correct. However, the timing of application was extremely poor irrespective of that.

I agree. I just wanted to highlight that it was not the SC's original proposal, nor their unilateral action; and that the Code of Conduct Work Group appears to be pulling the strings behind the scenes in many ways (while enjoying a relative lack of accountability).
David Clements: The Evangelist of Election Refusal
Can you really extrapolate those two experiences across every other country in the world?
After years of VIM, I've decided to learn Emacs and have been doing all my coding and other stuff in it. There's not as much people and newer stuff like VSCode, but the whole ecosystem is pretty great and it's very extensible and customizable. Major and minor modes made is a good model to group functionalities together. Stuff like Compilation Mode, Tramps, Eglot, and how easy it is to add new features to the editor make it a joy to use.
What Does It Mean to Ensure Election Integrity in 2024?
Over years, I've worn laptops (with sealed-in batteries) down to three-ish reliable hours. There are never enough power outlets (or AC vents or even seats at the table) for a big meeting. That's a problem for a very long meeting format like a war room or a promo committee.
Yep, was edited. Used to say SF preferred but remote considered.
long enough to pass on genes also includes living long enough to make sure your child survives, so there is that as well.
There are constant political attacks on their advertisers. This is like calling the Cuba embargo proof that socialism doesn't work.
This is one of those ghost jobs, the poster keeps posting a job but the job board has been broken all for forever. Someone replied to their prev posting and I even emailed them but received no response.

I wonder if this will be like broadcast tv and radio where it was all advertisements and people just left.
The salt is a separate input to the algorithm that is used differently and usually more restricted than the password.
It is not Notepad++ fault. Essentially, the CIA made a modified version of a DLL included with Notepad++ that contains a backdoor, but it is not in the official version of Notepad++ and you can't get it by normal means.

The fix is just an improved signature check, so that Notepad++ detects if that DLL has been tempered with, by the CIA or anyone else, or by a virus. But as Don Ho himself said, it is a rather weak protection, for that specific attack. Notepad++ is free software, the CIA (or any malware author) can make a version with Notepad++ with a backdoor and there is nothing the author can do, it is true for all free software, and most proprietary software too.

But Don Ho being Don Ho, and because it is the CIA, he had to make a rant about it. I don't like his attempts to push his political opinions with Notepad++, but that's his software, his rights.
While as much I empathize with tech workers (being one of them) at this point I feel automation and efficiencies they have developed in last 3-4 decades that displaced middle class jobs and skills are now good enough to displace large chunk of tech workers themselves.

Elite tech workers at top cloud/ software based companies can vehemently disagree but for mid level IT folks at typical enterprise shops situation is far more gloomier than it was even 10 years back.

Now if these employees are ready to revolt I suspect it will most fine by employers.

Dug a little deeper and seemed there was a limitation in my cloud hosting. I made some adjustments and hopefully things run a bit smoother
>We'll send you $105 through the sketchiest way possible, PayPal, to make sure you feel like you're getting scammed, because you are!

What are the good ways to be sent approximately this sum of money nowadays?
Seemed my cloud hosting was having some issues with the traffic, but hopefully resolved and things run a bit smoother!
Clang can definitely be used outside of Apple, and can even compile Linux. Swift technically can be used anywhere, though it is largely driven by Apple and laughs at backward compatibility.

The people I know at Apple actually do have public benefit in mind. They believe in things like usability, privacy, accessibility, sustainability, etc. They don't want to replace you with intrusive AI (yet). And personally I like Apple's products and am using one right now. Unfortunately all large companies tend to turn into monsters that do their best to grind up resources - natural or human - in order to turn them into money. And the designer of the iPhone regrets turning us into zombies - that was not an intended effect.
I wish corporations much joy of their AI employee replacement efforts. Much, much joy.

( /sarcasm, if it's needed.)
I don’t think a lot of people fully understand how closely Apple works with TSMC on this, too. Both in funding them, holding them accountable, and providing the capital needed for the big foundry bets. It’s kind of one of those IYKYK things, but Apple is a big reason TSMC actually is the market leader.
If the cache gets leaked, you don’t want any miscreants to be able to bruteforce passwords from the cache keys.
Look at all of the major government spending and determine who benefits most and where funds are sent. If the recipient of funds is a corporation, also review how their profits are spent and which humans eventually profit from that.
Actually difficult to know if it was Keller. Apple bought PA Semi which is where he came from. But he came on as a VP after it was founded by other engineers who had worked on the Alpha chips a year before that. Did he make the difference? Who knows.

What does seem to be constant is that the best CPU designs have been touched by the hands of people who can trace their roots to North Eastern US. Maybe the correlation doesn't exist and the industry is small and incestuous enough that most designs are worked on by people from everywhere, but sometimes it seems like some group at DEC or Multiflow stumbled on the holy grail of CPU design and all took a drink from the cup.
Business has been hostile to labor for quite some time.

What's changed in the last few years is a new focus on bringing white collar labor to heel.
Intel's CEO wanted to buy NVidia 20 years ago. Unfortunately for Intel, the board of directors killed the proposal as "too expensive" at $20B. Granted no one could see the future of AI on GPUs, but think of the ROI on that investment.
Elon Musk isn't playing "capitalism". I don't know the name of the game he's playing, but that isn't it.
I'm definitely no expert in roguelikes XD however the idea was to add some progression elements to strengthen your character as you progress in Survival Mode! Also, I made some adjustment to my cloud hosting that should hopefully resolve the issues

Nvidia would've acquired the culture of Intel, so it wouldn't be the company it was today if that happened.
Honestly... same XD however I believe procedurally generated levels, permadeath, and progression are common characteristics?
Liquidity is held by funds. Funds (some of them pensions) have rules where to allocate. They just follow these rules and allocate. Now this change will change the allocation to Nvidia. Investors can tap into this liquidity. The $$$ are then transferred from the funds (some of them are pensions, uh I mentioned that) to the investors.

AI bubble then burst. Funds are “adjusted” and someone is not getting his pension.
So it's new for businesses to be expected to try to make their deals turn out well primarily for themselves?
maybe? as local LLM/SD etc get more common it might be common to push it. I've been getting my fans to come on and get burning hot quite often lately because of new tech. I get that I'm a geek but with Apple, Google and everyone else trying to run local ML it's only a matter of time.
The rose tinted glasses are everyone expecting batteries to become a major part of the grid so we don't have to shut it down when the sun isn't shining.

Investing trillions in carbon free energy for AI is the most benign form of bubble I can imagine. If the bubble pops we have enough base load for the next century and don't die from climate change. If it doesn't we have the expertise to keep building large nuclear power plants.
Worked for Boeing.
Viewing the events from the 51st state, aka Australia, that big island south west of Hawaii, I get the impression that the election is just a huge distraction. It bifurcates the population, manufactures various groups to be outraged by other groups.

The Blob goes about business as usual, humongously profitable for the globalists.

I think the far bigger question is how are the hundreds of thousands of people impacted by the hurricanes going to rebuild their destroyed lives and livelihoods. The Blob has conveniently forgotten about them, focusing instead on international misadventures.
RIP anyone's ear drums with headphones I suppose haha yeah listening back in post production and I just had to run with it. Will probably invest in future videos
Then it needs a server
Water is a solvent, and unless pressurized, liquid water is limited to a maximum temperature of 100C. Many foods cook differently (one may even say better) at higher temperatures, or if parts don't get dissolved into the water. Not defending using a poisonous rosin instead, but just pointing out why we don't all just stew potatoes.
There's a rather good story by Poul Anderson from 1990ish where Machiavelli and Frederick the Great are reconstructed by training LLMs on historical corpora (seriously! of course they don't use the term "LLM") -- and employed as advisers in strategy. This turns out to be a bad move for humanity.
You announce these big news so causally. Grats for collaborating with "Last Universal Common Ancestor".
I wrote a long rant in response to this but decided to spare you and instead just say this:

Shareholder capitalism has fucked up the minds of so many people (especially Americans) where they think the purpose of a company is to extract maximum value for the shareholders. Sorry, no. The purpose of a company is to either a) fulfill their mission to the best of their ability (which is never “maximize shareholder value”), or b) provide quality goods/services at a fair price.

Yet Intel is using TSMC for their latest chips now too.
If you've only been sick with respiratory illnesses that were "going around", you can be about, oh, 100% sure it wasn't from your wooden cutting board.
I made a few adjustments in cloud and should hopefully be resolved now!
I think there are a small minority of people who consistently want to guess at the identity of Asahi Lina and make comments about her gender.

> I don't love this idea.

What is this confusing sentence suppose to communicate? That you adore the idea? Or like it? Or hate it? Or are neutral? Or are indifferent? Or any other thousands of options? Nobody knows.

Why being so incredibly vague and off-putting?
That is encouraging to read, and hopefully it truly is the case that Apple has weened itself from its obsession with thinness.

Some of the choices Apple made after SJ's death left such an unpleasant taste in my mouth that I know have knee-jerk reactions to certain Apple announcements. One of those is that I experience nausea when Apple shrinks the form factor of a product. Hopefully that has clouded my judgement here, and in fact these Mac Minis have sufficient airflow to survive several years.
because it's a unique taste , a unique method, and a cultural significance for some people -- no one is forcing you to eat it.

Why would anyone eat fugu or collect wild mushrooms?

It's fun and interesting. That's why. Danger be damned.
I liked the explanation on the linked "Rewrite systems" page of the connection to "Fractran", an esoteric language devised by John Conway. A program in this language consists of simply an ordered list of fractional numbers that "act on" a single positive integer "accumulator" in the following way: if dividing the accumulator by the current fraction's denominator would leave an integer result, do so and then multiply by the numerator, otherwise do nothing. Either way, move to the next fraction, or back to the top if you are at the end. That page shows programs for performing simple arithmetic, FizzBuzz, etc.

Interpreting all numbers involved as multisets of their prime factors leads to the representation in TFA.
I really hoped I’d grow out of wanting to sleep ~3-11am but it’s just never happened. No matter how tired I am during the day, I get a second wind around 8pm and have to force myself to go to bed at a reasonable hour during the work week because I won’t get sleepy, even if I stay away from screens.

Unfortunately I really enjoy night time, so I regularly completely fail at that task. I can’t remember the last time I woke up feeling rested, and yet here I am on Hacker News at 1:48am. At least I can sleep in tomorrow.
Makes me sad there are people making the offer.

It's pretty clear we're screwed as a civilization. As tech gets more powerful, the same people making these offers as well as the same people doing cyberlockers, etc will do the same with bio-tech, nano-tech and anything else then can extort others with. They'll infect you with virus to which only they have the antidote, etc....
Pompey the Great supposedly wore a cloak that he claimed belonged to Alexander the Great.
What makes his reasoning suspect? Genuinely curious. I accept that his reasoning that the Israel lobby is the main motive for US Foreign Policy in the Middle East is flawed or overstated. Anything else?
It shouldn't be hard to post some links here then.
There are websites that have run for years without being touched by an engineer. Why should they go down?

Those people were working on new features for the most part. The investors wanted Twitter to grow, so they could get a return on their investment.

Twitter has been shrinking.
Just reporting in some plain text format so I can manually delete the duplicates, or create some script to delete.

I can't have like 10 external HDDs attached at the same time, so the tool needs to dump details (hashes?) somewhere on Mac HDD, and compare against those to find the duplicates.
good start would be to unionize
> Inject the same value into two or more charts to integrate them safer than Helm alone.

Helm dropped the ball on this and walked away. Defining values in one place and propagating the values to all the charts is simply not possible. There are multiple discussions in the history with proposed solutions that always end up getting sent to die in the HIP process.
Whatever late corner of earth that didn't yet know who Alexander the great was, that history was forever changed, once personal computers & the golden age of PC computing came to be.

Thanks for tuning in! In terms of challenges, keeping the web socket connections in check has been a continuous challenge. Observability helps!
Assuming you're right, the vertical platform vendors should consider having a public Sherlocking policy. If you're anywhere near Apple's stuff, the Pixelmator outcome is a large fraction of your upside.

Much larger than it should be for the ecosystem's sake. Excessive cannibalism isn't probably in Apple's interest even.
I've had a mac mini m1 on my desk with nearly 100% uptime since launch.

It only gets powered off only when there's a power outage or when I do an update.
I appreciate that a lot. I'm generally sleeping 4:30am-12:30pm. Recent travel puts me at 10:30pm-6:30am which I'm trying to artificially maintain for a month. I'm sorry that you felt you had to create a throwaway account to post what you did, it's telling about the prejudices that circadian-divergent people (my term, mostly called DSPS) face in society. (e.g. parallel response talking about being called lazy by family). I try hard to locate myself in places (time zones) where I can exploit 'circadian arbitrage'. Remote work is the big enabler, and I consciously work to help folks maintain & expand the remote work ecosystem's momentum.
I'd call it low-portability. They're designed for large screens yet they're often viewed on phones where you need to manually zoom in and view each page some tiny portion at a time.

Was at a restaurant with a QR code that led to a PDF if their paper menu. It was horrible. For reference it was the Ralph Lauren Cafe in Omotesando Tokyo.
That's why you throw a couple of multi outlets in the drawer or a cabinet in that room.
No shit: It's been fourteen years for me since last dentist I went to, which was for swelling on the inside-side gum of my bottom-right wisdom tooth plus a little tiny sore/abcess in the gum around 2-3 teeth forward of it and about a cm down from the gum line (inside), with something feeling very hard right at the bottom of the abcess with my fingernail. I go to two offices which both fail to locate anything in my mouth. Both shill wisdom tooth extraction (I still have all), and I refuse. At home I begin to irrigate between gumline and wisdom tooth with mouthwash using a 26-ga syringe (originally pushed test cyp) until swelling is gone, and over that period that hard spot I thought was my exposed jawbone at the bottom of the abcess began extending out a bit until I managed to grasp it with a fingernail and pulled it out: turned out to be a half-cm section of jawbone which was on the inside wall of the wisdom tooth, which must have cracked off and migrated a few teeth over, to slowly pierce out the gum. I still have that bone in a baggie, a little divot on the gum just below the gum-line of my back-right wisdom tooth where that piece of bone used to be under the gum, and all four wisdom teeth!

No tooth pain, no (apparent) cavities or rot, they are yellow/stained because coffee and cigars, I hardly brush (I mean hardly) and probably floss & mouthwash 10x as often as brushing, and even that is very irregular (few times/week). I hardly consume sugar and watch carbs like it's slow-kill cumulative poison. I have a mouth built by the gods!
Not sure that would have mattered once LLMs emerged. NVidia's success is mostly a matter of being the only major advanced GPU player at the time when LLMs exploded onto the scene. That won't be the case for long. The big players are already heavily investing in high performance AI chips to wean themselves off a dependance on NVidia.
