Woah. As someone not in this particular community but dependent on these tools this is exactly the terrifying underbelly we've all discussed with the user architecture of tools like pip and npm. It's horrifying that a major compon

There are so many more embedded CAN systems beyond cars. Industrial battery management uses Linux and canbus, for example.

Non-sequitor: "perspective hangover" might be my favorite phrase I've ever read. So much of what we deal with is trying to correct-the-record on how we used to think about things. But the inertia that old ideas or modes have

Can you give am example of the most useful prompting you find for this? I'd like to interact with papers just so I can have my attention held. I struggle to motivate myself to read through something that's difficult to understand

I know this comment is effectively a side tangent on a side tangent. but that was always the strangest thing to me as well. I remember in 2012 when I was debating fiddling around with Bitcoin. that was one of the things that turned me off.

I can't believe this isn't a show stopper for more people here. I literally couldn't figure out how use it the first time tried because I didn't know how to comprehend that it was trying to get me to auth via browser win

"Just do this in a barn you own not a house I own." Someday we'll wonder why we thought it was a good idea to make the need for shelter into an investment vehicle. Until then, I hope people use your properties as they see fit

Not every day a personally relevant story shows up. I've done work in that valley and with Billy. He's a special person and that valley is a special place. For many reasons. RMBL and Billy together are a beacon showing that scienc

You see, the thing is, it's deeply classist. It's also misplaced outrage. The poors have been doing this for millenia and we still have a society that progresses rapidly and much of the heavy lifting that moves us forward is done

Imagine being rich enough to buy high end cars every year and worry about OTA updates. What a world.

Understandable concern, but this kind of fervor over this kind of problem feels a lot like the zealots who tear apart Firefox and it seems to be why open source community leadership suffers constantly. Is this good? Definitely not. But &quo

Huh. Here I thought I'd totally lost my mind because every time I open teams on my phone it takes down my cellular connection. As in I can't use teams on my phone because it instant disconnects me from the Visible network. I thoug

It's unnerving, especially for open source projects. The idea of open source extends beyond the license. It is as much about the community as it is the software. Discord is the worst possible place from an open-ness standpoint. I don&#

I mean, since this article is explicitly political and thoroughly interesting context I definitely have some criticism that I think should be stated here. I saw the film and it was very well made and enjoyable. A friend invited me and I did

I'm someone working in the field with weather modelers/forecasters but not a modeler myself. Reading this discussion has been an absolute treat ... The most fascinating thing about the concept of error in models, including in ense

"Unaware of anything that originated on Youtube that fits into this category"... What?! Currently the most watched animator on youtube falls squarely into this category. You don't know about it because you're old . TBF

As usual, everyone is having a different experience. Exact opposite here. I've been on Wayland two years and it's far more stable and reliable and pleasant. Are there problems, definitely. Are they different than the problems you&

Not that you're wrong but researchers are also deeply imperfect. They're rushed, they're given no time to actually improve their work, and the emphasis is entirely on 'good-enough' publications. The number of times

When you measure it like that... something really tingles and puts it into perspective. That also shows how much progress we make with how little money. To put it in units I know: I work on a team that operates ~the only climate research st

If you're a Linux user, "KDE Connect" is actually by far the best desktop interface for texting and more. It's changed how my phone and my laptop interact and I think might be my favorite open source project. You can use

Starbucks doesn't say "hey here's a free coffee", hand me the coffee, and then say I implicitly agreed to a 500 page lawyer-exploitable EULA by taking the coffee... and then later say "well, if you're enjoying

While you're correct in the purest sense of what you say, this is an unfair realization of the exchange. It's very zoomed in to the micro level. The macro level is much more interesting. It's not wanting free stuff. "Met

The crowd at a party changes a lot after the last metro because everyone left it is the sort of person to take the first metro in the morning, not because they have cars.

I understand this sentiment but it's extremely short sighted. Paying for news is about incentives. Much like Google having poor incentives to provide good unbiased search functionality based on the fact that their revenue comes from ad
