It'd be nice if SteamOS had more recent versions for normal PCs. Arch Linux is sufficient for a developer or power user, but for the average person is too painful.

Debian Stable (most recent update) should be a generally good experience for any PC that ran Windows 7 naively. Though I do worry about some specific hardware, mostly nVidia GPUs retaining support for that long, at least the old drivers will probably work?

Good questions! Most of our products are built with a pretty vanilla Rails stack (what we’re most familiar/comfortable with) backed by Postgres. Beyond that, it’s just the classic engineering struggle of trying to keep things simple and maintainable while making tradeoffs to ship stuff that’s Good Enough™. :) Happy to speak to any more specifics if you have further questions!
IIUC this is similar to how window layout is computed in systems like qt.
No. A legion of edtech companies have been born and died who solve the underlying pedagogical issues but die.

Some of the reasons they die are:

- students don’t control the budget for their spending, so their voice/progress has almost no impact on budgets

- parents in the US spend a tiny fraction of their deposable income on education (and also have almost no say in budgets)

- teachers have almost no say in budgets. In public schools, it’s none. In others, it’s performative if at all most of the time.

- administrators get promoted by doing a very specific set of small things, none of which include improving outcomes through addressing pedagogical innovation

This all adds up to: you can create an edtech startup that radically improves student outcomes and still run out of cash
Is there really much point though? With thunderbolt 5 external storage seems really viable.
Mid-2000s. They had a terrible SAP-based recruitment form, which didn’t work with my Mac.

The thing is, often I want articles, opinion pieces, and interesting reading. Sure, sometimes I'm searching for facts or answers to programming questions, but most of the time LLMs are not going to give me what I'm looking for.
I really don't think that you and I disagree—I'm talking about the way that things are for my kid who's about to go into elementary school, not the way that things were when we were growing up.

We're well off enough to provide what he needs, but we're also painfully aware that the public school system is not going to and that most people don't have the means to do what we can do for him. I agree that that's a new trend and not something that has always been true of public education in the US.
Everybody is voting to improve "average" because that's what affects your house price.

The best way to move an "average" is to improve the big mass slightly below average.

> It couldn't have been easy or cheap for them to add all these antifeatures.

It was definitely cheap to add this region lock: it's a single `if` statement calling existing system libraries. The regulatory side of this is the expensive part, and it varies by country, and many places make it illegal for hearing aids to be sold over the counter no matter how much Apple wants to release it there. Even the US would have prohibited this feature until regulatory changes that happened in 2022.
Part of this is because the pre-frontal cortex (associated with logic, will power, discipline, focus, etc) doesn't finish developing until about age 25.

Until then, folks can be reliant on the adults in their environments older than that age, if they haven't built up some abilities.

M4 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM is doing a "good enough" job of editing 6k raw footage in Premiere for my team. I'm surprised to say I'm content with the 16GB of ram so far.

I'd bet the main culprit is the Chromium library
But why? Why is it acceptable to consider OSes 15 years old ancient, when that logic never applied to almost any tool in the history of mankind, and still doesn't apply to any other category except software?

In my home all the machines are 20+ years old and work perfectly fine (oven, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, irons...) not to mention things that don't need electricity, which are 30 or sometimes more than 80 years old (furniture but also cookware, etc.)

A bike that's 20 years old feels ok and modern; a bike starts to really look ancient at maybe 50 years old? We can still drive cars made in the 80s and 90s (and they're often better than newer ones).

Windows 7 works fine, why should it go to waste, and the machine it run on, and why should people be forced to upgrade and change or abandon all the little customisations they have set up that makes their lives easier? Don't we have better things to do with our time than relearn a new way to do the exact same thing?

I understand the motivation of vendors to try and sell new things; what I don't get is why we put up with it.
I think that coincided with them removing phone number verification for accounts. Probably due to my browser looking unusual (content blocker, linux user-agent string, other addons) any time I set up a new account and used it for a few minutes a few years ago, it'd lock the account and redirect every logged in page to one demanding SMS verification to unlock the account.

I would usually get support to manually unlock it after a few days by emailing them and mentioning why I didn't want to give them a phone number. Now the process only involves solving captchas. (and maybe some hidden waiting)
We do a variant of this across all our tables. If we have a parent-child-child relationship, then all child tables, regardless of depth, will have the parent id.

This way we can load up all the data needed to process an order or invoice etc easily, without a ton of joins.

We don't do multi-tenant, instead separate databases per tenant so far.
That's just because it lets the developer control the distribution of the app without having to find packagers in at least four distros (Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE, Arch). Using Flatpak for the GNOME libraries is a design choice for Flatpak itself and applies to KDE apps as well.
Is it really good for society? Germany has the safest highways in the world. Also the only highways where it's exciting to see a police car while going 250 km/h.

Some try to dismiss this by saying that there are areas with lower speeds - yes; they're placed where you need to slow down anyway, it's more like "hey buddy, beware of this sharp curve" rather than "we will milk your wallet if you go 1 km/h over this idiotically low speed". I go to Berlin regularly (500km) and my speed average including the slowdown areas is around 230 km/h and I'm not even close to the fastest one on the road.

The best thing about this? The German diesel engine - drinking less fuel at these speeds than an American truck on idle.
FWIW I had my car get totaled while I was a freshman in college and walked to it the day after. Cops stopped me 3 times on approx a 6mi walk, wouldn't leave me the fuck alone until I pulled out ID. I'm white and this was in NJ, we are not a stop and identify state. Apparently teen walking down the road with a backpack in middle of day is suspicious.

This was around 17 years ago, cant imagine how ridiculous it is now.
What impressed me about this thing is how quickly it booted to an interface that was modern and responsive. It even had some pretty slick animations.

I’d be interested in how they achieved that. Looking at the repo it looks like the OS was just Linux. I wonder what the UI was written in.
I've been lurking here for more updates on the Mac Mini M4 since I haven't bought mine yet. I also shared some thoughts in previous comments [1][2], as I'm not only impressed by the technical achievements and form factor but also interested in seeing how Apple's business evolves over the next few quarters. I'm curious whether Apple will increase its market share on the desktop side while continuing to dominate in mobile.

> You should still be able to continue gaming on your system as long as you don't forcibly update Steam, though how long that remains possible remains to be seen.

This is always the question when "drops support" comes up: Will users be able to at least stick with the older version of Steam, and just not take updates, or will users get hit with the usual shitty modern software catch 22: You can't use the software because it's not the latest version, and you can't get the latest version.

I hate to say it but I think we really need some kind of basic regulation in this area. Companies should not be able to just decide to remotely stop you from using your software just because they consider it old and icky.

Its max advertised range. In reality it will likely be smaller depending on driving habits/weather/ac, it is hard to charge EV battery to 100% if you on the move, you don't want charge to drop to 0% obviously, so you will be charging sooner.

Yes, but it usually isn't "good or bad" in the moral judgement sense. Not to mention the many logical flaws involved with trying to make such prioritization. If I'm searching for say desert eagles refusing to return any gun related content and only giving me birds isn't helping anything or anyone.

Although come to think of it I'm surprised that I haven't heard of any attempts of fundamentalists to make "moral" search engines that do things like exclude evolution.
> that’s how they make all raincoats waterproof.

Nearly every major outdoor clothing manufacturer is making rain-gear without PFAS. Patagonia, The North Face, Arcteryx, Helly Hansen, Columbia, and Fjallraven (just to name a few) all offer a variety of PFAS-free raingear.

This has been an ongoing effort for 10 or 15 years at this point; with a lot of progress occurring in the last few years, as the PFAS-free DWR chemistries have reached parity for most use cases.

The vast majority of it is non-actionable (to me) information. It's exhausting to follow and impossible to remember, except perhaps as tidbits or "moving average". Professional journalism and its products have a place, but not in my head right now.

There is however great value in its archives, e.g. for contemporary historians and journalists painting a bigger picture or consulting decision makers. Can't compute history from today.

And of course there's possible problems with bias, agendas, etc. But that's history science 101.

I bought the first MacBook Air M1 with 8GB because it was the only option available in my area. Initially, I had doubts, especially after using notebooks with more than 16GB of RAM in previous years. But I was genuinely surprised by how well the M1 performed. My takeaway is that there’s a lot of room for similar improvements in Linux!
I don't know exactly the reasons but Japanese software is basically embarrassing. I was talking to a good friend of mine last month who is a very good photographer about how you basically don't have GPS or a ton of other features in the main cameras from Japan--so both of us increasingly just use iPhones unless we really need to use big bodies and lenses.

Sure, some of it is that iPhones (Pixels) do a good enough job for a lot of us. But it's also that the gap has closed so much and a lot of it is about software.

Go to events in Japan and a lot of the design of posters and so forth just looks seriously bad to US (and presumably European) eyes.

And even in the large systems space, when I was an IT industry analyst, there was just a lot of quirky Japanese tech stuff that was out of step with the world as a whole.

I don't have a coherent theory for it all but Japan just fell out of alignment with mainstream patterns especially in the 90s or so.

I use Linux, but I think the cheapest M4 Mini offers an incredible value and efficiency per €. With education discount, it's around €650, including VAT. It's pretty hard to find such a silent and powerful machine for that little. Any comparable options?

A good fanless build with a i3-14100T is more expensive and 40-50% slower on Geekbench. An i5 is a bit closer. Some 2024 Ryzen CPUs can match or exceed its multicore performance, but these are also more expensive and much less energy efficient. Pricewise, things start favoring PCs if you need more RAM, as Mac upgrades are costly.

One can potentially use Nix on a Mac Mini to keep similar development environments to those used in Linux, but AFAIK some packages are not supported on ARM. Any experiences using Nix and nix-darwin as a daily driver?

I find chalk on a blackboard one of the worst ways to learn. This isn't 1890 anymore. Much better are more modern prepared lectures with much more complex and interesting slides than what a teacher can draw with chalk in the time of a class, and with a lot more detail and scale with the magic of a modern projector. this also lets the notes and videos be reviewable before and after the fact. Very helpful. Hell even overhead projectors were a lot better than most chalk on board classes I went to pre electricity.

Beyond that, I find I learn infinitely better by doing than by being lectured to. By being challenged by a set of problems that grow over time.

Beyond that tutoring blows lectures out of the water. I was failing calc e in normal semester, I dropped. My moms bit the bullet and bought me 3 weeks of tutoring over the summer (much shorter semester). I then aced summer calc 3 which is generally much harder. It was amazing how well me being able to guide the lesson to where I was having trouble versus the lecturer keeping on track worked for me. I've learned this lesson as a mentor as well, teaching is for the student, not the teacher.

tl;dr what works for you sucks for me, don't tell me how I learn.

> What is the alternative, though? This is an honest question, I really want to know: How would the "this is horrible, how can you deign to work that way?" crowd coordinate thousands of people on a project to create something that is bigger than what 5–20 people can create?

Nobody needs to be co-ordinating thousands of people. 5–20 people can create Instagram. The entire problem in these companies is that leadership is so out of touch they cannot differentiate between a checklist and a product, and empire-building is their proxy for value. The solution is to change the leadership, but it is usually too late in large orgs (the new leadership has to be brought in somehow from somewhere, and that will be done the same way the current leadership happened).

So the real solution is for those who care to go elsewhere, out-compete, and out-succeed. Then quit after acquisition, if such a thing happens.

This isn't the early 2010s anymore - SSDs last "long enough" for most people, to the point they are no more consumable than your motherboard or your RAM. (I've actually experienced more RAM failures than SSD failures, but that's an individual opinion here.)
