Does the kernel log not show anything? Or maybe the steam log?

I am sure that somewhere there's a hint of what's going on.
I wonder how much of this is fueled by the economic model of Asahi.

marcan had indicated donations are down, and it's hard to support ones livelihood just from donations alone - especially when they are down.

Assuming you wash your other produce (you probably should, especially if you buy organic and don't like e. coli.), the question you're asking is just "how does the crap on the outside get into the inside?" The usual route for those contaminants is peel -> hands -> fleshy fruity bits. A lot more is transferred than you might think.

For a bit of fun, try the same idea with a few dirty potatoes. Wash two thoroughly, and leave one unwashed. Peel a washed one, peel the unwashed one, and peel the last washed one. You'll observe that both of the latter two are much dirtier than the first one [0]. It won't be as dirty as what you started with, but it'll still be enough to cause some minor taste issues and (depending on the type of soil) make the dish feel gritty as you eat it. Contaminants you can't physically see/taste/feel are transferred the same way.

[0] There's a minor confounder in that potato flesh can oxidize, and that discoloration might be perceived as dirt. It's not as bad as with, e.g., apples though. Just work quickly, and the difference in dirt levels should be apparent.

Well, the rest of the world lives with the USA constantly doing this. Hopefully you dont support that as well.
Good question, I'm assuming it's due to the calculation happen across a memory barrier of some kind or due to all the branches in between so llvm is probably avoiding the optimization. It was quite a while ago so it is something I could re-investigate and actually try and fix. I would have to wait for downtime with all the other tickets I'm getting though. It's also just something that dxc itself should be doing, but I have no control over that.
Always funny to me to read something like that. HN has high moderation, one of the highest I've seen on modern fora, only a few steps below r/AskHistorians for example. I don't see this "abuse, bigotry, and nastiness" here and even if there are comments like that, they are quickly downvoted and dead.
> Given the narrow set of hardware they're aiming to support and that they're writing many of their own drivers _anyway_ (and so are not relying as much on the large # of existing linux drivers), that approach might be more viable.

They are relying heavily on mesa. I'd also assume that GNU stuff is also pretty essential.

Perhaps Android would be possible? It has a HAL that might be easier to work with than the raw linux kernel. The android devs have put in a lot of effort to make downstream driver development not painful. With android, they'd also still have GNU stuff available.

The big issue is non-linux will mean every single open source tool may have a compatibility problem. You also end up dumping a huge amount of capabilities (like running docker containers).
> primarily due to the very large fraction of entitled users

I think anyone working in serious open source projects just need to learn to ignore those users. I definitely would have the attitude of "I'm perfectly fine if no one uses my product" and have a lot of fun banning entitled users left and right.

Nothing. That's why this was said:

It's separate gatekeeping.

I entertained getting involved in the kernel for about 3 days, in college. The process is so complex, I just went on to do other fun things. The drama will turn off others. Organizational apathy is much worse, imo. I have quit jobs for this reason and that was when I got paid to stay.
You are right... I hadn't put that together.
This is every successful product, small, medium, large. I've never ever worked on a big corporate or small personal project and not experienced this.

The secret is to have a healthy system for taking in those requests, queueing them by priority, and saying, "you are 117 in the queue, you can make it faster by contributing or by explaining why its higher priority".

You can't let feature requests get to you, the moment you do your users become your opponent. None of those requests are entitled, the author has clearly already reached a point where they are antagonistic towards requests.

It is important that we stop taking people who treat this topic as a taboo seriously at all

This modern mentality of "all cultures are equal and valid and none are superior to any other" is just ridiculous

Culture is something we are always looking to improve on. In this way, we are comparing our existing culture against hypothetical future cultures and deciding that one of them is more desirable

If we can compare a real culture with a hypothetical culture, then we can certainly compare two real cultures using similar criteria
I can't speak for other fields, but this does seem true of computer science. I worked in a university lab for a couple years and knew many PhD students, and most of them were most interested in leveraging the PhD to make more money in industry.

I think the issue, should that be an issue, is in industry setting unrealistic requirements for education. There certainly are some jobs where the work is true research and a PhD can be a good indication of experience in that, but a great many PhD-locked careers are not really so research oriented. Requiring a PhD to demonstrate expertise in something that makes up 10% of a job is excessive and creates this system where people do 4-5 year PhD programs just to check off a box for the resume filter.

I just chose the HIV thing, since it's relevant how we interpret USAID's programmes -- in particular, ones which fund the NGOs that run censorship campaigns and kompromat collection (eg., the occrp).

None of this is very remarkable, of course. The more concerning thing is how this has become turned inward on the USA itself via the internet, mass media, and so on.

Abstraction is the opposite of specialization, not precision. Multiplication, for example, is an abstraction that can be defined in terms of repeated addition of the same term, which is less general, and so more special, than addition of two arbitrary terms, but it not less precise.
I think Title IX needs to be updated. It’s a fact that men’s sports, in general, generate more interest and money. As such, if athletes are going to be paid then male athletes on average deserve more pay.
The government, and especially places like USAID, CDC, NIH and so on, tends also to have a sense of mission that's very different from the Silicon Valley one. People often accept the lower salaries and bureaucracy of the public sector because they want to make a positive difference in the world.

The UK civil service "fast stream" graduate training programme actually requires people to change roles every six months. I believe there are similar rules with a longer timeframe that cycle people through job roles later on in their career. These play a similar role to bank rules which require people to take two weeks contiguous holiday every year: it tends to expose any fraud that requires continuous coverup.

The libertarian anti-government position denies the possibility of these roles improving anything, which is why this conflict arises.
My apps only become unmaintained when Apple depreciates standard features. It's not my imperative to fix Apple's changes, they should be paying me to do that.
The idea of the article is to create an environment at home so that your child feels secure in the sense of being able to pass the marshmallow test.

This is the same sort of logic that leads to the idea that you should have a large home library, because that is predictive of success, or make sure your kids don't have holes in their shoes because that is predictive of success. If you "fix" these things they lose their predictive power. Similarly if everyone tries to modify their parenting behavior so that the children can pass a hypothetical marshmallow test, then you will find that the test is no longer predictive of success.

> But on the other hand, something like 40-50% of my paycheck goes out in taxes and I would prefer if my government actually spent it on things to improve my life versus dumb shit domestically or abroad.

I agree here, but one thing that has come to light recently is that the federal work force is only ~6% of the federal budget. That means that most of those taxes are not going to pay the salaries of government workers.

Also, a lot of the money from our taxes goes to public health, safety, resource management, and infrastructure. I'm happy to pay for things like that. I don't doubt that there is significant waste as well, but there have been a lot of egregious lies lately about how much waste there is and _where_ that waste is located.

Just changing the technology isn't enough, the whole GUI needs an overhaul.

For example, browsing 'by album' just adds unsightly [+] icons that are hard to hit with fat fingers on a touch screen. There should be a carousel of album art that you can swipe left or right! If there's no album art, just show a grey card and the first 10 letters of the artist's name in 8pt white letters. Once you select an album, you see the tracks on that album sorted by length, because radio edits are short and obviously the most popular tracks, so they should be on top. If you click shuffle, it will shuffle all of the tracks of the current artist (since we showed the artist's name, well the first 10 letters, so you should be a fan of all of their work). But you can also add tracks to a playlist (that's not shown), by long-pressing them. And to remove them, double tap. Everyone will try those gestures at some point in time, so it's easy to discover. Besides, they will both make a sound. Don't worry about it not being loud enough, the UI sounds will play at volume 10, and they will pause the track being played, so you don't miss anything. Playback controls are easy, just one button to play/pause/rewind (double tap)/fast forward (triple tap). And long press (10% longer than short press) to reset the playback position. Wait, we also need a control to record audio to reclaim the space being used by the mp3 currently playing, like dubbing over a tape, extra-long press will do that. Maybe that's hard to remember, so quadruple tap will also do. There should be incessant popups to remember to use the replaygain functionality, without explaining what it does (store the replaygain figures on a Google sheet, but not use them for playback yet, because the volume control uses the pinch zoom-in and pinch zoom-out gestures and we're unsure which gesture to use to enable/disable using replaygain)
A large part of what enables huge multinational companies like Apple to be successful and resist stuff like this is a friendly administration and threats by the largest economy in the world.

Apple is being sufficiently friendly with the current administration that lawmakers are going to go to bat for them and prevent this sort of stuff from happening. Apple is a pawn on a global stage and the governments are the true players. It’s always been this way, it’s just more obvious now. The big sea change has been the last four years big tech has been a target of its own government as well as foreign governments. That’s largely why you’ve seen big tech jump ship to a political party that better serves their interests and doesn’t constantly investigate them. I’m not being political here, it’s just a fact of life.

Apple is going to be protected as they bent the knee and kissed the ring, just look at the name of the large Gulf to the southeast of the United States in Apple Maps.

One aspect of the use of tariffs not yet discussed here is national security. We saw during COVID-19 that domestic production capacity for critical products is very important. Infrastructure products like aluminum and steel should be at the top of the list for tariffs if the goal is to incentivize domestic capacity. But as mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, government financial support is also a good strategy--but the politics of that approach conflict with the current attempt to downsize the government.
How to Design a Micro Speaker Enclosure
Yup, I think it went too far.

The fact is, you need buy in from other devs and if a dev won't buy in you need to work out a way to avoid them or avoid conflict. It sucks, it slows things down, but frankly making it a "them vs us" is a sure fire way to make them oppose any change you want to make.

Public shaming even more disastrous as there's no better way to entrench someone in a position.

I've been rocking dual Pycharm w/ Vim bindings plus a neovim setup and bounce between. The only thing preventing me from going 100% neovim is Pycharm's python debugger.

I have setup neovim-dap[0] with all the related plugins, it works for simple script but it bugs out and crashes when running our Flask web app. I rely heavily on the Pycharm debugger to step through our app.

Have you had a good experience with setting up a debugger in vim/neovim or is that not part of your workflow?

But apparently the dead threads are still read by search engines (and by extension LLMs) filling them with highly ranked bile.
I have project that's still very much at the experimental stage, where I try to get something similar to this pipe syntax by allowing users to chain "SQL snippets" together. That is, you can use standalone statements like `where col1 > 10` because the `select * from ...` is implied. https://ajfriend.github.io/duckboat/

import duckboat as uck

csv = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/allisonhorst/palmerpenguins/main/inst/extdata/penguins.csv'

uck.Table(csv).do(
"where sex = 'female' ",
'where year > 2008',
'select *, cast(body_mass_g as double) as grams',
'select species, island, avg(grams) as avg_grams group by 1,2',
'select * replace (round(avg_grams, 1) as avg_grams)',
'order by avg_grams',
)

I still can't tell if it's too goofy, or if I really like it. :)

I write a lot of SQL anyway, so this approach is nice in that I find I almost never need to look up function syntax like I would with Pandas, since it is just using DuckDB SQL under the hood, but removing the need to write `select * from ...` repeatedly. And when you're ready to exit the data exploration phase, its easy to gradually translate things back to "real SQL".

The whole project is pretty small, essentially just a light wrapper around DuckDB to do this expression chaining and lazy evaluation.
Ax: Agent experience and why it matters
> I get the frustration that the price of daily goods was too high but the incumbents did present an actual feasible plan to deal with it. So I’m not really sure it was about “the economy”.

As usual, it's about the allocation of surplus value.

The US has enjoyed a great economy over the past four years, and really, even longer. I'm in my 30s and most of my life has been marked by economic expansion. The problem comes from the fact that we take all of the money generated by that economic expansion and pipe it to shareholders instead of labor. The average person cannot live solely off the returns from their equity investments; they have to work in order to pay bills. That work essentially started buying less over the last half-decade.

Now, is that partially because of the Biden administration? Yes. Any time you print money, it devalues the money that already exists.

But it's also, and more fundamentally, the fault of the first Trump administration. The PPP, funded with printed money, was a massive subsidy to upper-middle class Americans, and 35-ish years of GOP revenue policy made sure it has to be printed. The US had no reserves of cash to pay for an emergency like COVID. Why? Because we haven't had a real federal tax discussion since George HW Bush said "read my lips: no new taxes".

That, of course, doesn't matter: the buck stops at the Oval Office, and Biden didn't have the likely personality disorder necessary to shove the buck back in people's faces on the order that Trump does. Neither did Harris. So back to the "glory" years of 2016-2019 we go, reckless monetary policy and all.

I keep hearing that too and it feels like a huge attribution error: the cars die because of the electronics because they are the new component with the shortest lifespan, so people blame them. Yet people fail to notice that the longevity of cars is on average, trending up while the amount of electronics in them has exploded. And it makes sense if you think about it for more than a second: which would you rather die first, the cheap electronic board/sensor or the expensive mechanical part?
