> When using a language none of us speaks we can truly be equals.

It's the opposite: having a preferred "high language" for science means it's gatekept by people who have the means to learn it. Those people will have the home field advantage, much like it was for much of history.

Plus it's just a bad idea. Firstly, it'll take more time for young students to learn to read a scientific paper. Second, you significanly diminish the pool of thinkers and therefore scientists, you're basically making 99% of the population illiterate. Finally there will always be more people willing to communicate in the "vulgar" language and it's where all new vocabulary will be created, which is why every single high language has pretty much died off except in cerimonial contexts.

English is just the language du jour, before that it was French, German in some fields, Arabic, Latin, Greek, etc.
That was my first thought too. Certainly this must be skewed towards downhill? Going high speed into jumps that send you 5-10+ft into the air must not have good outcomes if you miss the jump or landing. Most of the rest of mountain biking is fairly tame in my opinion.

Major improvements I've noticed:

- not having to bother anyone for water when I visit

- readily available for outings

Thanks to the above, I'm well hydrated more of the time. The bottle is a bit bulky (it's insulated) but I'm happy with that tradeoff.

I ended up working mostly on features that architects could use to present projects. Stuff like renders and walkthrough animations of the building.

I've moved from CAD to computer-aided engineering. I work on the backend of a compiler for a DSL for control system engineering. My niche is definitely professional tools programming. I'm quite happy where I am right now, but if something ever happened with this job, my preference would be to pivot to another professional tool. I've always thought something like a DAW or 3D modeling software would be fun to work on.
So it wouldn’t be native Linux?

Why build something from scratch when Wine/Proton is already there and is pretty much the same thing?

Of course that would be the trivial (if still very complicated and expensive on its own) part, incentivizing developers to invest the amount of resources needed to port their games to a new platform (which would have single digit % market share at best) would be a lot harder.

Sure there might be some risks. But I don’t really see why MS would be bothered to actually try and kill Wine. The risk of antitrust etc. would be very high and MS wouldn’t gain too much from this anyway.

Besides.. the Supreme Court already ruled in favor of Google over the Java/Oracle thing not sure how would this be much different.
That looks pretty interesting, do you happen to have any first hand experience with this? In my experience, platforms like this live and die by the pain of unhandled edge cases, so even if the happy path works fine, it can still be something to avoid.
I think they actually fixed that with Gaming Mode or whatever.

1024 is still many orders of magnitude hard to crack than 512. For the record, the last RSA number having been broken was RSA-250 (829 bits) and it took 2700 core-years to crack back in 2020[1]. In comparison, RSA-155 (512 bits) was factorized as early as 1999!

AFAIK all inverters (except off-grid models) will refuse to work without mains power.

it's also technical requirement, you have to synchronize to existing sine wave.

the main reason such device is bad idea is that you might have power at exposed pins. In this case inverter will not produce any power until you already plugged into socket.
Balcony solar requires the 50Hz of the energy grid. If you turn off the main power they will stop feeding into the system.

Must be a gross simplification. The nearest power socket is not the right place for the decision where the power goes. You probably want all your sockets supplied with your own electricity, but not the outside world (which makes your distribution board the right place to connect anything).

I have a friend who works for the grid operator in our country. He says that if you, even for a few seconds, become a power generator (as opposed to a load) without being authorized to, they'll notice and there will be an investigation.

edit: Sounds like they do just plug in into the power outlet, and you're allowed to supply power back to the grid. Which makes sense, and is very different from what we have one country over.
In the case of RSA it's not meaningless to increase key size to fend off quantum computers. Quantum computing vs RSA is a case of being the largest contender, because quantum computing in itself doesn't definitively unravel the integer factorization problem.

Being able to work with people of different skill levels, both learning from them and tutoring them, is amazing for professional growth. I also love hanging out with them outside of work.

Latin does give a significant advantage to Romance-language speakers, and anyway trying to make everyone equally bad at the common language is a bit procrustean. The big disadvantage to the decline of Latin (which is probably mostly something that took place in the eighteenth century) is that it fragmented western Europe's academic writing. So without Latin you can't read Thomas Aquinas or Thomas Hobbes' De cive or John Napier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjIwCOevUew in the original; or often at all, as a great deal has never been translated while some translations aren't of the best quality. And even with Latin and English you can't read the enormous amount of important material which has been published in (particularly) French and German, especially up to about WWII.
I've always loved gaming and one thing that never sat well with me was that gaming's home was unofficially on a proprietary OS. It always made more sense to me (particularly from a software preservation standpoint) that the home of gaming should be on an open-source OS. And truth be told, I have in fact encountered a few games now that will no longer run on Windows but will still work great on Wine/Proton. I'm sure there will be more of those over time.
The prices were already high before wind and solar power came to be (and for quite many years grid prices where among the lowest in EU, while consumer prices where among the highest). The high consumer prices for electricity in Germany are a result of grid fees, taxes, taxes on grid fees, taxes on taxes, and a lack of political will to lower those.

What's funny is that in Linus' mind "saving Linux desktop" meant that Valve would release a single statically linked binary of a game for Linux and distro maintainers would have no choice but to support that binary, thus ending fragmentation in the ecosystem. Steam was trying exactly that when Linus made the comment, but failed to get any traction (see the first iteration of SteamOS/Steam Machines).

Today gaming on Linux is feasible because of Proton, a compatibility layer for Windows binaries. Meanwhile the app distribution and fragmentation problem on Linux is as bad or worse than it was a decade ago. If you asked Linus whether Linux was "saved" by Proton, I bet he would have a very different opinion than everyone here.

There's a big demand-supply mismatch throughout both the 24hr and the 365d cycle, while most consumer prices are flat throughout the day and the year. Solar panel owners are basically using the grid as a big battery, and miffed that electricity storage doesn't come cheap.

I agree with you partially, but a casual user just doesn’t care or bother. They don’t uninstall bloatware; in fact, I’m pretty sure most don’t even know what it means. Casual users don’t even bother to switch to dark mode or check if their monitor supports more than 60Hz—things like that. That’s also why Apple doesn’t focus on such details.

I’m not against Linux; for developers and servers, it’s awesome. But for casual users, I don’t see the appeal. There’s no reason to bother as long as it works—and it does. Do you genuinely think, that a user who complains that Windows is bad and doesn’t work, will be able to install Linux and be happy? First thing someone like that will do, is probably try to execute an exe file and the complain under some YouTube video about it.

I was a console gamer for a long, long time just because I refuse to use Microsoft products, and Linux gaming was fraught except for Battle for Wesnoth and Nethack. Many hours just messing with Wine vs I turn on the machine and the game just starts, no fuss.

I've owned a Steam Deck not quite since day 1, I'm beyond delighted now that I can just buy and play Steam games. I think I've thrown maybe one game at Proton that I just couldn't get working. And things like the Heroic launcher have made GoG games (most of which already ran on Linux since they just run via DOSBox) easier than ever.

Anyone on the fence about keeping Windows around just for games: unless you play online multiplayer that uses kernel anti-cheat, just make the jump. I promise you, almost every game in your library will just work, and almost all of the rest will work after you set them to run with a specific Proton version.
This is great but we must still be careful. Games have come to Linux but so has a lot of the suckiness associated with them.

The video games industry wants to own your computer. They don't want you to copy their games or cheat. Taking over your machine is the only way they can possibly hope to accomplish that. Therefore they think nothing of shipping literal rootkits directly to you. This is software whose only distinction from malware is a terms of service buried somewhere that you probably clicked through without reading and technically accepted.

There's also the fact they are proprietary software. There's no telling what they are doing. Sometimes there's literal malware in these things. I'm not kidding about this.

I seriously doubt there's any effective way to sandbox them either, they probably need extensive permissions to even work. I wouldn't want to run these things in my personal computer.

For these reasons, you might want to set up a completely separate virtualized Linux system just for this purpose. IOMMU and VFIO technologies allow you to map a discrete graphics card to the virtual machine which enables hardware accelerated graphics at near native performance.

You might want to consider a dedicated gaming machine. To me it feels like a waste since the hardware is great and should also be used for other things.
No I am saying that when you censor/suppress debate in the public square you drive people underground where they land in echo chambers and develop extreme views because they don’t have public debate.

You don’t need to ban people from echo chambers if they don’t land there in the first place.

Your solution is reactive to a problem you caused. My solution is don’t create the problem in the first place.

I'm starting to wonder if the Linux networking stack has become a bit too layered.

I recently spent some time debugging a Wireguard tunnel on a VPS. Simple 'ip r sh' checks and tcpdump'ing weren't revealing the full picture, and it turned out an obscure 'ip rule' added by the VPS provided was redirecting the traffic to the loopback for reasons.

It seems like policy-based routing (via ip rule) adds an extra, opaque, layer before the regular routing table. The packet router (below routing) further complicates things.
Even the XBOX UI is problematic. I’m stunned that so many games have an additional layer of user onboarding just to get up and running. So many games require that you create an account “typing” your info in an on screen keyboard with an Xbox controller, and verify with email then return to the Xbox and sign in. What should have been a single-sign-on using your gamer tag profile is a clunky fragmented mess.

Human Nature, Technology, and the Progress Dilemma

For a number of years it was (non-officially) thought to be a feature to use weak DKIM keys. Some folks argued that short keys allowed you to preserve deniability, since DKIM signatures would only be short-lived and nobody would be able to use DKIM signatures to prove that any email was authentic. (I’m not saying that this is why most companies used short keys, just that there was a general view that short keys were not all bad.)

DKIM deniability is a particular hobbyhorse of mine [1]. These short keys are obviously not the way to achieve it, but I view this kind of thing as a result of the muddled thinking that’s been associated with DKIM and the community’s lack of desire to commit to the implications of an all-email signing mechanism.

This is not really an issue. The inverters used in these cases rely on an existing power supply for synchronization with the electrical grid. If there is no power on the socket, the inverter has no means to generate a sine wave on its own and does not provide power on its cable.

This is true (as far as I know) for ALL inverters, apart from "off grid" solutions, so workers can turn off power on a street level. If that wasn't the case, there would be no way for technical staff to make sure that lines going to multiple homes (with solar) are powered off.
They're ridiculously expensive though. You can get like 75% of the features/quality for a third of the price. They're nice if you're made of money, but totally out of reach for normal people.
