Of course, but a generation of homeowners grew up learning that, barring short disruptions, home prices always go up. Nevermind that this was largely due to interest rates steadily dropping since the 80s, reaching basically 0% during Covid.
Since there isn’t really room for interest rates to drop anymore people shouldn’t expect home prices to rise faster than incomes rise, but it’s going to be hard to undo 30 years of observation.
Unless it becomes cheaper than having a datacenter on earth per quanity of compute, it won’t happen in any meaningful scale even if these issues are solved.
I’ve been using AntennaPod for years now to listen to podcasts. It works great and feels like a premium app.
I bet they would be (against Valve) if a competitor donated to Republicans. I mean, they’re keeping a finished bridge they paid $0 for closed because the owner of a competing, tolled bridge donated to them. Of course they’ll open an investigation into a smallish leftish leaning company if a large donor asked them to.
I don’t think DDR4 is significantly cheaper. Plus, they would have had to go a CPU generation back too then and I think the AMD CPUs of that generation had way worse integrated graphics, so now you’d need a dedicated GPU as well.
What does it mean for a project to deserve the [AI] tag? This matters, because you may have a lot of projects where a developer may think “no” and someone else thinks “yes”. Some examples from my day job:
In these examples the developer carefully reviews the AI’s output, which I think distinguishes it from vibe-coded slop, which at least is what I want to ignore.
It’s also worth noting that an open-source project may receive and incorporate a well-written contribution where the human developer used AI carefully like this. Unless they disclosed that they used AI, it may be unknowable to the project maintainers whether their project is [AI] or not, depending on how you define it. What tag should these projects use?
Worth noting that the Linux source is updated and collaborated with via email, not GitHub. The Linux repo on GitHub is a read-only mirror.
I’m top-left (my job pays well, it’s engaging, and it has a positive impact on the world).
I have some friends in a 5th category that are hyper-busy with traveling, social engagements, etc. I feel like I have to book time with them weeks in advance.
I don’t think the US states backed out, they’re just stuck waiting for the legal right to switch. BC got tired of waiting for them and decided to switch on its own, as being deeply coupled with those states is now less desirable.
It won’t happen in my lifetime because your guardrails failed at all levels, including voters. A vile president is supported by hypocrite judges, confirmed by a spineless legislature, voted in by amoral voters. 20 years ago Republicans were the “family values” party. There were issues with that, but it was a given they wouldn’t threaten allies, meme themselves as Christ, celebrate war crimes, promote gambling, be pedophiles, be brazenly corrupt, etc. Then they, and their voters, shed their morals like snakes molting. Even if somehow they started acting like right and wrong were real concepts again, I won’t trust them to not shed that again when it’s convenient.
This, but also if you aren’t putting your soldiers at risk then war becomes more palatable (and thus more likely). For example, I doubt Trump would have attacked Iran if he had been quoted 1000+ American causalties in the first week.
I do think this is underappreciated advice though. In 2015 after I finished my Bachelors I wasn’t having any luck with job searching, so I started printing my resume and hand-delivering it to the companies instead of responding online. My resume sat on the desk of my future manager for a few weeks until he eventually decided to go through with interviewing me. If I had only applied online I suspect my application would have been looked at only once, and I probably wouldn’t have been hired.
That’s fair. I wouldn’t reject money from Google but instead build up an endowment with it for when it eventually disappears. If you can recover your market share (maybe by investing in your browser - the peformance is lagging) then you can also demand more money from Google to set them as default. Finally, Mozilla is a non-profit and I wouldn’t be opposed to them just asking for donations, like most non-profits.
I had an ad in my Firefox settings for “Solo AI Website Creator”. It’s a product from Mozilla for using AI to build your website. Note that it’s not open source, and you must rely on them to host your website (no export functionality, and recurring fees outside a basic free tier).
I agree with you, I wish Mozilla would focus solely on their mission instead of trying to build all these side projects people don’t want.
Wasn’t MS just saying that they were going to work to de-shittify Windows? Evidently the same decision makers for the previous shit are still in charge.
I’m annoyed because I only saw it on my feed today. Luckily I was about 2 sentences in before I checked the date.
What you are saying may be true where you live, but you shouldn’t confidently (and incorrectly) speculate on laws elsewhere. Where I live, a couple living together are considered married after 2 / 1 years (provincial / federal definitions). No need for a ceremony, no need to call each other “wife” or “husband”. It just happens. https://beyond.ubc.ca/what-bc-couples-need-to-know-about-common-law-spouse-entitlements/
Seriously this. Oil is a global commodity. Iran was being dumb for allowing oil to ship to friendly countries, because them using that oil frees up other oil for the US and reduces the one leverage Iran has that Trump cares about. But I guess it doesn’t matter - Trump is rescuing them from their mistake.
Switching to something rolling release makes sense. My Arch setup (btw) has always felt much more stable than when I was using Ubuntu, because with Ubuntu I’d inevitatebly run into a bug, find out it was fixed months ago but won’t be backported, and then either live with it or try custom-installing the newer version of that thing. Or I’d install something manually that expected dependency X be the latest version, etc.
