It should be clear that Mozilla Co has far more interest in social issues and galas than browsers.

Truly one of the most self-sabotaging companies I’ve ever seen.
Sorry, correcting myself here: it's cut across multiple cycles but not pipelined. Maybe I confused this with multiplication?

If it were pipelined, you'd expect to be able to schedule DIV every cycle, but I don't think that's the case. Plus, 99% of the time the pipeline would just be doing nothing because normal programs aren't doing 18 DIV instructions in a row :^)
Looks like exactly the same amount of effort to me?
> there's always the feeling of missing out on something a couple hours away.

Yeah, I've certainly had that feeling many times. :-)

But I do think there's a categorical difference: in several US cities (I use St. Pete as an example, as it has had a beautiful explosion of live music in the past few years), it's possible to see Blues, Rock, Country, Hip-hop, Bluegrass, Jazz and a Grateful Dead cover band all within walking or cycling distance. I've looked high and low in Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen, Madrid, Barcelona, Naples, and while I've seen some good music here an there, I haven't been able to connect quite as tightly.

Now Glasgow, that place is amazing. You can see righteous pub trad, which runs the gammut of sounds from classical to bluegrass, in like four different places every night. It's incredible.

Am I looking in the wrong places?

It's not merely an academic question: I'll be planning my next Europe tour soon, and the venues we might play / bands for whom we might open in Prague are pretty obvious. But elsewhere, we kinda just have to plan our own events for the most part.
Still using a very old Tab S 10.5 from 2014 running a bit slow with LOS 21 - Android 14.

Started with Android 4 KitKat, stuck with Linux kernel 3.4 :)

5.4mm thickness, 3GB RAM (enough for 32-bit), 2TB SD card works, watching movies/shows with the AMOLED look as good as a recent OLED TV. Truly ahead of their time.

SDR content with mDNIe dynamic enabled comes surprisingly close to HDR content on an HDR display, colors can be a bit too staturated though.

After a decade, the battery lasts a week for daily hour e-book with black background. 3 hours of video playback.
However, it restarts at 30% battery when running at full brightness with a white background.
Disabling Wi-Fi significantly extends standby time compared to modern hardware.

Caveats: Slow web browsing and no H.265 hardware decoder.
1440p H.264 60Mbit is the max (Display is 1600p).
Most content providers and streaming services are slowly moving away from AVC, so it's stuck at 720p H.265 on CPU.

Back in 2014, I couldn't have imagined using hardware that was over a decade old.

WSJ: U.S. Wiretap Systems Targeted in China-Linked Hack

That seems pretty clear.
For me:

- continued support for manifest V2 (primarily because ublock origin would stop working if forced to V3 only)

- the firefox address bar is way smarter for any given string i type in than chrome's. it's ability to surface the most relevant deeplinks from my history, vs top level site, vs perform a web search, is night and day difference from the randomness that other browser search bars offer.

- I have the opportunity to use Zen (a Firefox fork) [0] and it's 100% interoperable with my vanilla Firefox instances across devices -- i can even send tabs from my Firefox Nightly on Android to my Zen instances on Windows or Mac. BTW Zen has vertical tab support, (more) first-party multi-profile support, and preserves the address bar behaviors of vanilla Firefox.

And interestingly, one of the problems raised in the article

__attribute__((target("arm")))
void interrupt_handler() {

}

that fancy __attribute output can be achieved quite nicely using a custom pragma/codegendecl -- we did exactly this for the embedded firmware written in Nim at my previous workplace, to get access to some specific features of the ESP32-S3 (things like RTC_ATTR_NOINIT for example)
I am sure what he means that is we lost a lot when it become unprofitable for companies to offer solid UNIX offerings that were supported in the way he would like. Other than the fact that it evolves glacially, Illumos is in an even worse position than Linux when it comes to offering support.

If we are being honest though, in the terms that this article is arguing, "Linux" as an ecosystem is the wrong label. When it comes to stability and support, we need to think of each Linux distro as an Operating System. In that sense, things like RHEL are certainly well supported--including on the desktop. If your app targets RHEL, you pretty much have none of the problems discussed in this article. You still have a smaller universe of applications than Windows of course which is to be expected.

So, the problem boils down to "nobody is making sufficient money off desktop Linux to steward a desktop Linux distro". That is not careless devs or bad design decisions though--no matter how chicken-and-egg you try to paint it. It is simply the network effect.

Decent desktop operating systems exist and they already have large application universes and large, monetizable user bases. They appeared into a vacuum that lacked such operating systems but that vacuum no longer exists. That makes it almost impossible to economically introduce a new desktop platform. Certainly none of the commercial attempts have succeeded in the last few decades. In fact, the system that has been the MOST successful is Linux. By that metric, saying that Linux is doing it all wrong does not ring very true.

Valve is doing a lot to make Linux gaming a reality because, when it comes to the network effect, it is largely true that Steam ( not just Windows ) is the true platform. So, if you can bring Steam to Linux, you can move the users there too. It is still early days for that but it appears to be working.

On the mobile side, the network effect is very much alive as well. This is why Windows, using of course all of Microsoft's tricks, strengths, and knowledge, completely failed while the Linux kernel ( in the form of Android ) has totally dominated. And that is not for any of the reasons cited in the article. Do you think an Android app from 2008 will run on Android today unmodified? An iOS app from 2008 on iOS today? I don't think so.

> But even so - occasionally, weird stuff will happen. Just like it happens on any OS over time, the farther you get from a clean install.

Immutable distros solve this. Your base OS is basically always in the state the developers intend (as long as you don't mess with it). Applications are all containerized and if you do dev stuff, that's also in containers.
It can happen in democracies too. I can think of a few specific ones off the top of my head.
It is the mix. Not the pure … obviously when nearly all leaders are engineers you have a problem. But if some are not, and others learn. Even for a lawyer leader group, they can learn or have a whole institution that is effectveky independent from them.

I suppose you could ask ChatGPT or another AI how to calculate Volatility Decay and it would give you a pretty good answer that you can compare against the fixed interest rate of the mortgage. A lazy way to calculate volatility decay might be to add the returns of TQQQ and SQQQ together, divide by 2 then subtract that against QQQ and then subtract out the dividends.

But that doesn’t take into account how RE is providing you with shelter and additional SQ footage. If your total mortgage, insurance and taxes are less than renting, which is the case with mine, then there is pretty much no way to be at a loss with real estate. There’s pretty much only upside then over any 3-5 year period.
I’m pretty sure I first heard about China doing this 15 years ago or so. I guess it just takes a long time to go from project planning to reactor?
The lack of deduplication, or more like avoiding duplication, of what are basically files in some of these implementations is a problem.

But it's not a problem for me. It's also not a problem for most people. And it's not at all a problem next to the dumpster fire of closed source OS ; so ultimately there is no real problem.

Yet, all of that is moot, because someone already solved the problem. But I'll wait until they publish their work to talk about it.
It's not actually all that bad. I went through today and added passkeys for all the sites I use that support them, and for most it went like this.

1. I login to the site using my password, supplied by my password manager (1Password).

2. I go to the site's security settings and find their passkey settings. I invoke their "add a passkey" function.

3. If I'm on my Mac, using Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, I get a dialog showing me the site and the user name and asking if I want to save a passkey in my 1Password.

There is a security key icon on the dialog that I can click if I want to save the passkey elsewhere. That replaces the 1Password dialog with one offering to save a passkey in my iCloud keychain for use on all my Apple devices.

That dialog has an "other options" link which brings up another dialog that adds options to use an external security key or to save a passkey on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device with a camera. The latter option will show a QR code that can be scanned on that other device.

I save the passkey in either 1Password or my iCloud keychain.

If I'm on my iPad using Safari it is similar, except the first dialog shows both 1Password and iCloud as storage destinations, with radio buttons to pick between them.

4. Repeat step #3 once, storing a passkey in whichever of 1Password and iCloud keychain that I didn't pick the first time through.

Some sites let you give the passkeys names to make them easier to remember so there might be typing a name in there somewhere.

All in all, it is only a few seconds to add a passkey after pressing the "add a passkey" button on a site, so adding two is no big deal.

In a perfect world you might think that but those 2 things rarely go together. Deflation is much worse than inflation as it stops everyone from spending leading to a death spiral that builds on itself.

Japan had little wage growth and deflation for 30 years. I'm sure the majority of Japanese would tell you it has not been good for them.
Many other compression libraries, like zstd, support functionality along those lines. For that matter, brotli's big party trick is having a built-in dictionary, tuned for web content.

It's easy to implement in LZ-style compressors - it amounts to injecting the dictionary as context, as if it had been previously output by the decompressor. (There's a striking parallel to how LLM prompting works.)

Even just "make it a PWA" can take an experienced frontend developer a day or more. The manifest needs to be just right, the server might need to be reconfigured to serve the right MIME type, you need to generate a few mandatory icon sizes, you need a service worker even if you're not using it...

If you're using a big framework like Vite, this is somewhat easier, but then it's not a "simple html file" anymore and you spend just as much time fiddling with framework stuff.
It’s a bit confusing because this is about the “victims” of Bernie Madoff (mainly feeder funds I guess?), which are separate from the direct creditors of Bernie Madoff and his company (which sits at ~15 distributions, and still ongoing, currently totaling $14.7b or ~71% of claims, but the first US$1.5m of any claim has been 100% satisfied).

Not sure if one could double dip or not.

Engineers have no trouble crafting a solution that fits within a given budget.

The real problem, with all of it, is surplus. What happens to the resources you didn't actually have to spend, once an efficient solution has been engineered?

If you let engineers decide, they spend it on over-engineering. If you can do it for ten million but there is a billion dollars in the budget, you can also do it for a billion dollars and then square away lots of implausible edge cases and improve materials efficiency by a sliver etc. But this is wasteful because those things have diminishing returns or a poor cost/benefit ratio and you ended up spending a hundred times more than was necessary for a couple of percent improvement in the result.

If you let politicians decide, they spend it on cronies. This is wasteful, because obviously.

What you have do is to figure out how to make the surplus end up back in the hands of the taxpayer without letting any of these resource parasites get their hands on it.
Good filmmakers and authors use a genre to make a specific work.

Overly expressive words like "robust" and words that would appear in the thesaurus for "extremely" seem like tell tale signs in my experience. I've noticed personally that sometimes I have to tell ChatGPT to "sound more human and concise." I'd love to hear if anyone else has had the same experience as me.

Regardless, if ChatGPT is tailored enough, or a custom model is created, I can't think of any way to detect if an LLM has authored something generic. The lazy college student will probably get caught, but the cunning one not so much.

I don't think that will convince many people. Appealing to authority is one third of rhetoric, Aristotle would say that you need emotion or logic to convince me completely.

Speaking for myself, I'm mostly surprised that someone with such an intimate knowledge of Linux has ignored it's developments to this extent. This entire thread is mostly at the consensus that you have tortured many of the talking points in this article beyond taking seriously.

Many in this thread have also identified that MacOS and Windows are deficient in several of the criteria you listed. So what even is a desktop, really? An ideal, or a thing people use?

> Did you know that you can’t write to video memory on the Game Boy Advance in units of 8 bits, and if you do, it’ll still work but all your graphics will be messed up with no obvious way to figure it out unless you read one specific paragraph of the documentation?

I did. At one time I did write a program that wrote to video memory in units of 8 bits, but the emulator I was using did not prevent that, so my program worked on the emulator but not on the real hardware, and I could not figure it out until I found out that was the problem and I managed to fix my program so that it would work.
The download is 153MB, compressed... didn't even bother to wait for it to finish once I saw the size.

The brotli comparison is IMHO slightly misleading. Yes, it "embeds a dictionary to optimize the compression of small messages", but that dictionary is a few orders of magnitude smaller than the embedded "dictionary" which is the LLM in ts_sms.

There's a reason the Hutter Prize (and the demoscene) counts the whole data necessary to reproduce its output. In other words, ts_sms took around 18 bytes + ~152MB while brotli took around 70 bytes + ~128KB (approximately size of its dictionary and decompressor.)

I use Firefox on my HTPC, running a 6700K with 24GB of RAM. Not new, but not “slow”. Clicking a YouTube video will cause a three second page load, even if the actual “page” says it’s finished loading. Videos will start to play audio before the page is rendered. Navigating back and forth causes issues like this too. Sometimes I can get it to show a video but not change the title or comments that it renders. If I accidentally click the “Shorts” hyperlink I basically have to close the tab to stop it from endlessly playing shorts in the background of the SPA.

It’s awful. The best example I experience on a day to day basis that the SPA as a concept is utterly flawed. YouTube is a fucking webpage that fails to work like a webpage and an app that behaves like a students rough alpha. An utterly painful experience, continually made worse by likely skilled devs who are managed by complete bozo losers. But at least the progress bar has an ugly pink hue now.
IMO the value is more about market share of the browser than the engine.
Most of the new features on the web are corporation driven. The only web site I reluctantly give microphone access is Google Meet and this should have been a desktop app. We have so many layout engines in a browser while layout for both documents and GUI have been solved for decades. Every new feature is just reinventing the wheel to solve a non problem.

This only works on pages where extensions are enabled, and only after the extension is successfully activated, so about 30% failure rate for me.

>Can disable as easily as Firefox -- chrome://flags/#smooth-scrolling

This has not worked for me reliably, and the flag has been renamed several times.

For example, on my Mac, it reads "Not available on your platform."

>Actually, Firefox lately introduced a bug that will reset smooth scrolling everytime I remote desktop to my Windows machine. Which is annoying AF and they haven't fixed it for months.

I'm blessed to not have experienced this.

Same as the other extension comment above, only works once extension activates successfully.

This is not the same feature.

No, the systems are not that sophisticated, from having worked on them in the past.
I use all the extensions I mentioned for years, claiming it has 30% failure rate is bullshit. They don't work on internal special pages, sure, but they work flawlessly on any "normal" webpages with close to zero load time.

And no, disabling smooth scrolling works totally fine as I use it for more than 10 years.

If you're going to exaggerate your points to make a statement instead actually trying to find solutions, I have nothing for you, then.

Some parts of it, the parts that were production-ready, were merged into Firefox years ago and live on there. Other parts that weren't production-ready were canned and the staff laid off.
Entirely agree on what you would like to see. My point is that Ukraine is no worse than any of those nations, so admitting them to the EU is hardly going to affect the EU in any bad way.

Integration would be difficult on the agricultural front, but is something that the EU has been dealing with since inception.

One of the "benefits" of the war and the Ukrainian diaspora throughout Europe is that they will be able to integrate much faster than the previous Balkan and Balkan-adjaent countries as integration into Schengen would be able to be rapid.

Ukraine's engineering, mining, and agricultural industries would bring major advantages to the EU as a Union, diversifying engineering from dependence on Germany, and bringing broadscale agricultural efficiencies to the EU as well.
