> This is trivially debunked. Go to their website, which has the menu for all locations in North America, and you can see for yourself that there is practically nothing that would or could be made from scratch. Everything, literally every menu item at the time, was something that could be brought frozen and reheated there (on a grill more likely than in microwaves, but I don't know which).

I mean, what?

So for example, Thai Chicken Salad:

https://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/menu/salads/thai-chicke...

It has leafy greens that would get soggy if frozen or combined with the other ingredients for shipping. There is a slice of lime on the side. I doubt they ship them pre-sliced or heat the lime with the rest of the food.

It's presumably "from scratch" in the same way that Blue Apron is and not in the sense that there is a local chef shopping at the local wholesale market to decide what to put on the local menu. But it's possible to distinguish the former from the thing where your meal comes out of a freezer and goes into a microwave as a single unit, with the latter implying that it contains no ingredients that haven't been frozen or stuffed so full of preservatives that they'll biodegrade some decades after the wrapper does.

And even if some items have ingredients that could be frozen, that doesn't tell you whether or not they actually were. Or, for that matter, that a meal made "from scratch" couldn't have any frozen ingredients.

The defining character of information is its reproducibility. Even verbal speach: "And then she said..." But digital information in particular is almost infinitely reproducible, without loss, worldwide.

So when people say "information wants to be free", what they actually mean is that trying to restrict the movement of information is fighting against the essential nature of information.

My understanding of this case has nothing to do with metadata. The communications were captured in full because one party was not a citizen in the US (under national security reasons).

Those communications were then stored and made available in full via keyword based search interfaces, and those later searches were made without first securing a warrant.

That's privately owned, and currently for sale. Great location, south of the Richmond Bridge. It's a 5 acre big steep-sided rock sticking out of deep water. Nobody has ever been willing to spend enough money to do anything with it. Even conservation groups don't want it.

The price has gone from $49,000 in 1954 to an asking price of $25 million now. No takers.

I am quite sensitive to glare. I have tried many setups in my windowless office with low ceiling height and have found linear up-down pendant lights the best option. Up-light is more important as it bounces soft light from ceiling. When I want to work in dimmer environment in the evenings, I switch off the down-light.

I also try to buy lightning fixtures that are designed anti-glare although they are more expensive. You can also make pendant lights yourself with led strips and aluminium profiles.

Your eyesight and glasses also matter a lot. My glasses are quite worn with lots of scratches. They definitely make issues worse.

Scaling data is not always possible. It's really hard to get your hands on good labelled medical imaging data, for instance. Maybe it makes sense to try to incorporate insights from biology and physiological instead of hoping that the neural net will "get it" from seeing enough data.
Yet 30 years later people are calling setenv()/getenv() from different threads even though "it is known" that it crashes. For whatever reason the lesson from GUIs doesn't apply here.

It's peculiar that so many think the carnivore diet is prime cuts of meat with butter and cheese. All of those are prime products with historically limited availability. Much of the diet would be tendons, tripe, organ meats and other such cooked together with vegetables for essential potassium. What we know of traditional carnivore diets is radically unlike what most nowadays think of which is based on a highly productive industrialized farming infrastructure that was not available for most of human history.

> The thing coming closest to a successor state would be modern-day Turkey, I believe.

Turkey rescinded all territorial claims to the area in 1921 or 1922 (I don't remember which).

That's quite the problem, because the Brits had no territorial claim to the area, they only administrated the Mandate. The Jordanians occupied the West Bank from 1948-1967, but it was considered an occupation (like Israel has now) by all states in the world except for Iraq (the Iraqi king was the brother of the Jordanian king). In any case, they rescinded territorial claims to the area in 1991 or 1994 (I don't remember which).

So Israel is currently occupying an area that no state has claim to. And to be fair, Israel has been trying to get rid of it more or less since 1994. Every time they get close some incident or another prevents that - and now the current leadership seems disinterested in getting rid of it.
> Yes but if more than 50% of the GUI softwares you run fallback to XWayland (including terminals), it makes no sense.

That just seems wrong. Default terminal apps like gnome-terminal and konsole are probably the first apps that have worked (well) on Wayland (as soon as select paste started working, which it has for years). If you are using a terminal that doesn't support Wayland, that's a choice you are making.

Nothing uses XWayland on my setup except IntelliJ (and they are working on a native Wayland support, it might actually be working well right now but I also happen to run it in a local container though ssh and I haven't yet looked into the Wayland alternative of ssh -X). And that was not even a criterion to choose my apps.

That's just not 50% for most people I think. And even if it were, running the DE in Wayland and all the apps in XWayland already brings benefits in comparison to running a full X11 session, at least for setups with multi screens with different DPIs. So yes, it would still make sense.

> Wine is already a compatibility layer

.. That doesn't introduce any lag because it's not an emulator, it's a reimplementation of Windows APIs, with native speeds, so it doesn't matter at all that it's a compatibility layer in this discussion. Okay, there is dxvk, wined3d and things like this, but apparently they can be better than the original under certain conditions [2].

> adding XWayland on top of it introduces overheads

It's not supposed to, your game renders directly anyway [1]:

> What about the overhead of running X on wayland?

> Most modern desktops already use an external compositing manager: when the X server decides it needs to update content, it informs this external process (usually your window manager), and allows it to control the rendering entirely. Using Xwayland is just the same as this, but more efficient because the compositing manager doesn't have to go back through the X server to display the content it rendered.

I'm eager to believe that nvidia has bugs with Wayland (they've been given the middle finger for a reason), and that there are Wayland-specific bugs in some apps, especially games.

What is? Leaking memory? It's going to be a few kB at absolute most. Not an issue unless you are doing something very weird.
In this case you would presumably have a capture file that contained syscall events at both the macOS boundary and at the Linux VM boundary. At the present time it would be like capturing traffic on either side of a firewall and loading it into Wireshark (which is something people do!) You'd have to correlate the events visually/manually but adding an automatic correlation feature is well within the realm of possibility.

> you need someone willing shop and pick the cheaper options for competition to bring down prices

You think consumers wouldn't do that if they were able to do so? You call the facility and everyone says the price is "it depends". They decide what they are going to charge you after you have left. Is any other industry allowed to do that? Hire someone to paint your house and he comes up with the price after he is done?

> There is also a supply problem, where the state provides medical company monopolies through "certification of need"

I'm well aware of this. Isn't it interesting that the people who give some of the largest campaign contributions have these sort of laws carved out for them? Charge whatever you want, decide the price in a opaque manner after the fact, competitors aren't allowed to establish themselves without their permission, importing drugs from other countries is forbidden. The list goes on and on.

Then you would think, if there is this much rampant and obvious corruption the fourth estate would step in right? Oh, they receive billions a year to advertise prescription drugs. Advertisement that can't be that effective, sometimes for pretty rare conditions, things your doctor should be made aware of but really odd to tell people about in a massive ad campaign.

The mainstream media and both parties are paid handsomely to allow this to continue. The problem isn't people are fat, or death panels or any of the distractions. The debate isn't about socialized medicine vs private. It's not about "keeping your doctor". There is just massive corruption to the tune of trillions of dollars in the past decade. There needs to be criminal investigations.
What is the rationale for libc not making setenv/getenv thread safe? It does seem rather odd given how environment variables are explicitly defined as shared between threads in the same process!

It doesn't seem it would take much to do it efficiently, even retaining the poor getenv() pointer-returning API (which could point to a thread local buffer). The coordination between getenv and setenv could be very lightweight - spinlock vs mutex.
That's one of the most uneducated ignorant things I've heard anyone say in this entire discussion.

I understand that in the 90s, disk space was a concern, and that disk operations were a big deal with moving parts, etc. But we really need to move on from this paradigm.

I just tested, and it looks like that "new" software does this on Linux, but "old" software didn't modernize. IntelliJ products, VSCodium does this, QOwnNote does it, Kate does it when I explicitly start a session (bit of a nonsense...), and no other software that I use does it: LibreOffice products, KWrite, Geany, GIMP etc all operate on the paradigm that when closing, it asks if it should save the draft document or no.
For me it's less about older and more about simpler. Sometimes I just want to take the brain out of my head and set it somewhere to get some rest. Older and some indie games are just a fun way to pass some time without really thinking, for me personally. Sometimes I will fire up Mahjonng to pass some time. There's no commitment, no social aspect, nothing complicated. It just feels like it gives the simplest part of my brain a snack.
Are there any cars that DON'T have a way to adjust the brightness of the dash lighting?

Every car I've ever owned (86 Chrysler, 2000 Suzuki, 2016 Subaru, 2019 Tesla) had a dial to adjust the brightness of the dashboard lighting, or in the case of the Tesla, adjust the brightness of the screen.

Sure, I couldn't completely shut anything off like your Saab, but I could easily turn the brightness down pretty dim.
Proofs are impossible in many cases because nobody really fully understands the requirements, they are sort of working them out as they go. (and in any case they will change over time). That might be what you meant by devilishly hard to write.

Tests let you instead say "with this setup here is what happens", and then ensure that whatever else you change you don't break that one thing.

To my knowledge nobody has scaled proofs to very large problems. I still think proofs should have a place in better code, but I can't figure out how to prove anything in my real world code base. (I could probably prove my languages basic containers - something that itself would be valuable!)

> I've found that having no social media apps on my phone has helped.

This. The phone without social media basically becomes a practical tool for basic communications, maps, taking photos, and news.

In other words: boring, and much less likely to be picked up.
Not so much of a "trick" as it is understanding how to create a context the retrieves/generates from the more/most accurate training data.

In the case of open source software, a specific open source app or library or API, often all it takes is to reference a library or API by name, use a few terms specific to that library or service, and you'll get an LLM context that retrieves/generates from that area of knowledge. That context knows information about the library/API that is useful for integration and will tell you all about them just by explaining what you're trying to do. Note this is essentially conversational R&D, which is then backed up by verifying the data structures, library calls and/or APIs are indeed as they are being discussed. I include verifying checks during the conversation, rather than build a strategy and then check if what was discussed is even possible.

If an integration is possible, if the above conversation yields useful data and function/API calls (which they tend to do), then it's just a matter of a well structured prompt that's probably generating structured output. The end result is a process where a useful library/API call retrieves essential data of some sort that the user can ask questions about, modify, and if modified the prompt generates the data that is then fed back into the library/API.

Probably not what you are aiming for but for Linux this is a somewhat solved problems. The default DM, Gnome, has built-in color shift with a time schedule AFAIK. For Wayland and xorg there are also numerous other solutions that do a display-level redshift, I can recommend wl-sunset for Wayland.
