Another Linux guy here to report that the corporate experience on Macs can suck balls too. Not just Windows.

At $dayjob the corporate issued Macs are locked down (for good solid compliance reasons so there's no point fighting that) but run a variety of incredibly shitty DLP and virus-checking borderline-malware. The developer experience is horrible.

Worse, because they're locked down so tight you can't install any of those myriad utilities that Mac people tell you about whenever you complain how poor the desktop experience is compared to Linux! - I'm not even able to install uBlock Origin on my browser so any web browsing is eye-opening.

Don't get me started on the MITM SSL certs that the DLP software requires us to have set up for everything - it's pretty amazing how terrible the devX is at times.
Both the President and the Senate are representatives of and voted on by the States, not the people. The only representative of the people in the US Federal government is aptly named House of Representatives.

When people vote for President, it is only to inform the State of how they want the State to vote, and the State has significant freedom to allocate its votes for President how it wishes e.g. some States use a proportional allocation instead of winner-takes-all.

Popular vote for Federal office was largely a 20th century invention.
Not that it would've ever changed my vote, but the candidate was going to win my state regardless of how I voted. Even if I and every other person who is psychologically capable of choosing the other candidate... they were always going to win this state. So no, I can't control my government. I've known this a long while now, I'm not a fool.

>es, you can - however not directly. And this means that "I don't care about politics" stance is bad.

Though you might not be aware of it, you're repeating propaganda that actually aids some nebulous group of people. It seeks to recruit me and my efforts to further their purposes, none of which overlap my own significantly. I can't exert significant indirect influence either. And if I were to pool my insignificant influence with others (such as you suggest) to influence government, it would almost certainly be towards ends I do not agree with. I can be used by others, so to speak, but no one's on my side.

I might get to watch one group I don't agree with go killdozer on another group I don't agree with, and it will be entertaining to watch supposing I can maintain enough distance from the carnage.
that’s one way to put it.
I can recommend https://newsasfacts.com for at least having a news source that, thanks to its matter-of-fact tone and lack of imagery, is useful for staying informed without getting overwhelmed so easily.

It also puts things into a bit of a global perspective, when you realize how much stuff is going on around the world all the time. Though this of course also means you'll learn things that are on the news everywhere in your country only after they've become relevant enough to register on a global level.
That's the point: We didn't need to, because they had a process they followed and it worked. It was probably fairly bureaucratic, which is reasonable when we're talking about trillions of dollars. Treasury moves slowly but they do move in the right direction - TreasuryDirect was kinda early and had an absolute klunker of an interface, but it's been improved a bit over time and is now usable if still chonky. Federal and treasury-mediated transfers went through. People's confidential payment information wasn't disclosed. That's kind of what I and most others ask of the treasury -- even if I occasionally took to social media to scream about their terrible password entry interface and the annoyance of dealing with medallion guarantees. :-) And they got on FedNow pretty quickly once it rolled out, though of course I wish either the treasury or the fed had provided an instant payments system like a decade earlier. (But that's on the fed.)

But I'm OK with the idea that change speed is somewhat inversely proportional to value at risk. Might be better if it was 1/log(value).
You realize that pursuading people to accept terrible acts as normal and not outrageous is the primary aim of much propaganda, correct?
For every difficult and complex problem, there's a simple, easy and wrong solution.

Interesting. While I do appreciate that it runs on i386, I have to question its being aimed at students - or at least students of anything other than the history of computing. i386 implies BIOS, AFAIK, and requires pre-x86_64 assembler, which is only partially transferable to modern CPUs.

Oh, for sure, one would learn an awful lot working with those technologies, but as soon as one wished to work on more modern systems, one would have to forgot all of the former and all the ugly of the latter.

This isn't really a criticism, more an expression of puzzlement. Normally, I'm a pretty good contrarian, but I don't get it.

True, there was this Finn who did this some time ago and it worked out pretty well, but I still don't get why anyone would start with i386 and BIOS.
Last I checked AWS 1-year reserve pricing for an 8x H100 box more than pays for the capital cost of the whole box, power, and NVIDIA enterprise license, with thousands left over for profit. On demand pricing is even worse. For cloud providers these things pay for themselves quickly and print cash afterwards. Even the bargain basement $2/GPU/hour pays it off in under two years.
I love this.

It's been ages since I've seen "Oh God" or "Hot to Trot". Not great movies, not genre or culture defining, but fine. These are movies I'd watch if they were on.

I hope they do more. And I hope other distributors follow suit. Basically, I want Critters 1-3.
I find LinkedIn a healthy collection of professional accomplishments with minimal news. It’s also not very addictive.

It seems pretty clear by now that this never happens with billionaires.
Threaded merges are easy to screw up, that's why git invented that "rebase" crutch, both be-cause and the-cause it doesn't know which changes are in revision, only the file contents. Not sure how one can look at it and not see (or meet) the problem. "If you change different lines there will be no conflicts." Oh really, I guess I have had no have issues with merging in long branches then, good to know it was fine. You can merge back and forth and it just works. No one itt has merge anxiety, you just do it and it's all fine, and if there are conflicts, it's only for the same lines. Would be laughable if a thing like git had a huge engineering gap here, good thing it doesn't. /s

You can reset staged files again with ‘git reset’

To "revert a file to what was staged" you have to "git checkout" again, it seems, not "reset".

This is all basic stuff you should know if you are developing code with other people

Yeah. It seems that it is basic, until you try using it for something that is not quick one-shot patching of "append-only" code.
Yep similar to reddit going on a banning spree of subs critical of Musk right now. Speak up and you go out of business. Everyone’s in a heads down situation hoping they aren’t noticed.

FYI a quick search shows that React has already integrated this on its main branch!

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/32036

I'm not exactly sure what the developer experience of this would be, but I expect it would make Portals significantly more powerful and able to be hot-swapped into different containers without disrupting either their internal state or even things like loaded iFrames. I expect others will be experimenting heavily with this now that there's platform support.

https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/12247 (2018-2020) describes some of the use cases, with one partial solution being https://github.com/httptoolkit/react-reverse-portal - the conversation around caveats of these approaches would be entirely different now!
> Win32 Applications will be bundled under the new Win32 App Isolation model, which provides the security benefits of UWP sandboxing & clean uninstalls without the API limitations of UWP.

Wow that thing they probably should've been doing in the first place. I'll be curious if it'll end up as a supervisor (AI) model or if each program will have its own scope of a file system. The latter of course will be very tricky with how intertwined legacy software can be for file and registry access.
Musk has shown himself to be a manipulative, vindictive, controlling, untrustworthy human. All options available to governing systems should be used to keep him in check, even if destruction of his wealth is required (California EV credit Tesla exclusion, etc).

There is nothing to win by playing "fair" or "by the rules" with a bully who doesn't care about the rules.
Debian releases are 2 years apart roughly. The same as Ubuntu LTS.

Many Ubuntu 3rd party repos have no Debian equivalent. But there are more Debian repos than before.

Show HN: NoteFinder app - help read Sheet Music
Read sheet music faster!

Extracts your sheet music melodies, for those who can't read the notes!

Just tap on the staff and the note will appear, with sound and position preview of that note on the piano. A great way to extract the notes when you can't sightread!
In principal it's a great method to get back to normal, however there are key areas (subreddits, local groups, etc.) that really do provide information, expertise, and news content that isn't available anywhere else online. It's a double edged sword. The best way I've found is to be in there with a read-only mindset or perhaps only participating inside those key areas where political discussions are strictly prohibited.
The mechanism was reported last year: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/66653 but not acted on.
Can't you just use an AppImage (if available) for things you don't want to bother with instalation?
I only use it for emulators, and I don't really explore the OS anymore, so I'm not sure if they have any downsides.
NixOS's automatic snapshots and atomic updates take the fear out of nearly everything in my computer. It's so much less scary for me to muck with boot parameters or kernel modules if I know that I can always reboot and choose a previous generation.

I've told this story here before, but a few months ago I bought a laptop and installed NixOS on there. It worked fine except my USB keyboard would take about 5 seconds to "wake up" if I stopped typing for more than a minute.

If this were any other distro, I probably would have just lived with it, because I would be afraid of breaking Grub to a point where I don't know how to fix it, but with NixOS I figured out how to fix it, and now it's fixed, and it's backed up with git so I always have it if I ever need to do this on another computer.
I wonder if Trump is going to go after the security person who shot Ashley babbitt? If the jan 6 rioters were doing nothing wrong, then that guy pretty clearly just committed murder.
They acknowledge the irony in the very next sentence:

"Matt Novak cautions against falling back into superstitious thinking in our praise of Demon Haunted World. After all, he says, “the ‘accuracy’ of predictions is often a Rorschach test” and “some of Sagan’s concerns” in other parts of the book “sound rather quaint.”"

Well, the US gov blew away its opportunity to break down Google and other mega-corps and restore any sense of decency. Google just entered the Trump bandwagon, which means the monopoly lawsuit will go nowhere, and in exchange Google will do Trump's bidding.
My intuition is that if there isn't capitalism/meritocracy within your company (i.e. competitive forces that allow superior people to move levels quickly) then the company itself will be more subject to selection pressure against other more fit competitor companies (that do utilize the more talented "resources" for the more important tasks)
Your comment relies on the broken assumption that outrage is caused by the outragee having stupid opinions/being stupid.

It fails to account for the majority of outrage-inducing news where the stupidity is at the source.

I'm fairly sure that you'll be able to run W11 without a TPM for a relatively long time, it's just not supported. It's a risk you have to take, it's a requirement for OEMs not to shaft you with the hardware they sell.

If anything it's the CPU requirements that create a hard requirement for newer HW. But in that case, that support is a cost for them. Why should they spend the effort for what is likely going to be a very subpar experience?
Well, he's also an alcoholic sexual abuser, both of which would have DQed him 20 years ago. But, then the guy that hired Hegseth is a felon and rapist, so here we are, as a nation, mostly totally ok with the current state of affairs.
I don’t know about officially sanctioned releases, but I feel like I’ve watched entire movies through YouTube shorts at this point… there’s a really simple grift that rockets to the top of the algorithm and also pushes people into a pipeline for other clips of the movie:

1. Clip a movie scene and crop it for vertical aspect ratio (maybe some AI is used here to choose the focus point of the scene)

2. Add royalty-free background music and possibly other tweaks like mirroring the video

3. Title it something generic that doesn’t acknowledge it’s a movie/show, like “College dropout beats Harvard Law grads to the job” for the scene from Suits (Note: for shorts, the title doesn’t matter if it’s algorithmically chosen to play next… in fact at this point the more relevant title is the optional link to a different short… the real title is barely visible)

4. Do not mention the name of the movie/show in the title or description

There are hundreds of accounts producing these shorts on an industrial scale. It’s easy to see how the automation works and also why it’s successful. It’s clickbait (people want to comment or ask for the title, or correct the title to mention it’s actually from a movie); it’s addicting (it funnels people into watching more clips from the same movie… funny how YouTube knows to do that but not that it’s copyrighted, btw); it’s self-optimizing (if the algorithm doesn’t surface the next short, people go looking for it specifically); and of course, it’s automatable (everything from curation to editing can be automated, and just a sprinkle of AI is apparently enough to obfuscate the automation).

What’s fascinating is that YouTube hasn’t stopped this. The shorts algorithm can obviously detect the similarity between clips from a movie, but the copyright/spam detection algorithm can’t detect the same.
Yes. Example, late state Roman Republic, power concentration into a few Generals with armies. This lead to a dictatorship.

But this time, current time, with technology, it seems different.

Even though you could make same arguments that the printing press had similar effects and criticisms. Hence this is just another cycle of technology change. But really, does seem different in scale this time around.

One interesting thing covered in the Ladybird monthly update videos, is that most of the web platform tests are text encoding tests for Asian languages.

If you remove them, Ladybird is closer to 60% and Servo to 50%.

Still good, and the point still stands that they are making amazing progress. But probably more accurate because that last 10%-20% are going to get harder to chip away at.
These days are long gone. Fedora switched to DNF, recently they moved to DNF5 which was re-written to C++ and is blazing fast.
China doesn't actually care to much about green energy production, it's more that green energy production just happens to be one of the best ways for China to achieve energy independence.

China doesn't have huge reserves of fossil fuels, and they don't have a truly reliable way of importing them (and any import will always be vulnerable anyway).

So they are left with coal, nuclear, wind, and sun to build energy independence with. This is the primary driver of massive "green" investment (and coal investment too). They want all their energy made in house with what they have, which turns out to be a lot of cheaply accessible sun and wind.
I do not think the government should target specific people for their political beliefs, otherwise how can people fairly determine their own beliefs and vote for them
Ok but how am I going to watch the first three Critters films??
> Anyway, Waiting for Guffman still holds up, and you can watch it on YouTube, for free.

On top of that it never was released outside of the US before! As a European fan of Spinal Tap I'm quite excited to finally be able to see this film.

Also: no mention of The Mission, which is also in the list? That's quite a critically acclaimed one. Just look at these opening paragraphs from its wikipedia page:

> The Mission is a 1986 British historical drama film about the experiences of a Jesuit missionary in 18th-century South America.[4] Directed by Roland Joffé and written by Robert Bolt, the film stars Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons, Ray McAnally, Aidan Quinn, Cherie Lunghi, and Liam Neeson.

> The film premiered in competition at the 39th Cannes Film Festival, winning the Palme d'Or. At the 59th Academy Awards it was nominated for seven awards including Best Picture and Best Director, winning for Best Cinematography. The film has also been cited as one of the greatest religious films of all time, appearing in the Vatican film list's "Religion" section and being number one on the Church Times' Top 50 Religious Films list.

Oh, and the score is by a certain Ennio Morricone.

I've been on OpenBSD for well over a decade. Nothing ever breaks. It doesn't support everything under the sun, but if it supports what you have, it's generally very solid.
I know what you meant, but that phrasing reminds me of the gag from Anchorman, "60% of the time, it works every time."
I think you missed a decade or two. This was already a thing and the mainstream didn't exactly have the appetite for it. Check out 'web series' on Wikipedia.

I don't know what you're into but "The Guild" is pretty excellent example of the form.
oh gotcha. maybe pedantic but that is not a deepmind paper
The 'offload' might be "building an entire streaming infrastructure".

This way, they get to ride Youtube's streaming system rather than have to build one out.
The problem here (and problably the reason why they were removed from paid streaming services) are residuals [1]: Even if nobody watches them, studios still may have to pay actors, directors, writers, etc. a share. I assume the movies put on YouTube don't have any residual agreements.

Not that it doesn't happen but I've worked in datacenters, including our favorite clouds, and cdn/video architecture for 15 years and have never seen servers replaced on any cadence that wasn't us losing a customer and me sticking a quad core xeon under my desk.

These are $10k-100k+ servers. My multitenant/offload capable NICs are usually $10k-25k themselves.
I can tell you very definitely that the OWA apps for Word, Excel and Powerpoint have a way to go before being usable on complex/legacy documents.

Luckily, that is unlikely to happen again. Now, the broligarchs are in power and the LA times has been captured and turned into a propaganda tool.
This seems suboptimal.
Illegal acts and a robust, documented history of lies are not political beliefs. They are facts. You are conflating persecution with accountability. His politics are his beliefs, his actions are what he does, what the facts are, and what the consequences are based on for said actions and facts.

For sure, for someone who is never held accountable, accountability is tyranny.
