If the growth goes away, people have to wonder what they are getting in exchange, in any system, not just capitalism. For example, this is the same expectation people have from the Communist Party in China. Most people will agree that givint up their freedoms was worth the huge improvement in quality of life.

Can’t upvote twice, have a low effort comment instead

I can’t taste the breed in market milk, but I could differentiate most cows just by taste of milk from my family’s farm. I can still tell the difference between brands and seasons.

Market milk tastes kinda devoid of personality. But it is still milk. Just that milk from hundreds of cows gets mixed together

We need a new framework, one that allows universal lookup, and makes life easier

x = _.dialog.file.open
y = _.open.file.dialog
z = _.file.open.dialog
a = _.file.dialog.open

Once done, the formatter simply changes everything to _.open.file.dialog

Let’s get this done JS peeps

The OP is correct wrt powerful e bikes sharing space with pedestrians and normal bikes.

They are a different beast, heavier and noisier. They have much higher speed limit, and require less effort (some models need no pedal power) to travel. This, alongside the rise of delivery services, encourages people to overspeed (more than 20mph).

15mph is roughly the limit of what makes bicycles safe for mixing with pedestrians, but beyond this speed, they aren’t that different from a motorbike in terms of road design considerations.

At least they are better than cars and SUVs

If it’s a revenue generating machine, the impact of 10 or 20% improvement in day to day could recoup the additional cost in a few months or a year.

Similarly, for someone who travels a lot, having a useful battery life of 8-10 hours of internet+video playback allows a work routine that is worry free wrt charging and this allows tighter travel schedules.

Ofc, this isn’t the case every time, but this creates anchor effect on several segments of the market. This also doesn’t include the extra cost of “luxury” aka thin and light or small bezels.

350 USD is perfectly fine if you don’t need a ton of battery life or color accurate screen or multimedia or multicore workloads. If you need any of this, most of the options get pricier than 700 USD. It’s not uncommon to have to shell out 1500 USD or more for the desired specs.

It might be something built using digital payments with no transaction fee (and a percentage for currency conversion)

Not possible globally, but in India and the Nordics, such standards are already in use. (No private apps like venmo which can’t inter-operate don’t count)

Without context this link is just bad. Plant growth will not reduce CO2 levels because biosphere is temporary store or carbon (since it is a part of the carbon cycle)

We are putting carbon (into the atmosphere) that was previously buried. So putting a tiny bit of it back into plants doesn’t help because:

• those plants will die and release the carbon back
• the number of plants added is inconsequential compared to the deforestation
• the number of plants needed to offset additional carbon is humongous

Isn’t this a year old news?

Tokio has support for multiple threaded async in rust. As for micro controller, I don’t think you can have multiple threads in flight anyways, so that’s the best you’ll get

Which language? Usually there’s a thread pool where multiple tasks are run in parallel. CPython is a special case due to gil, but we have pypy which has actual parallelism

X code is convoluted, so much so that the maintainers didn’t want to continue. AFAIK, no commercial entity has put any significant money behind Xorg and friends. Potentially unmaintained code with known bugs, unknown CVEs and demands for permission system for privacy made continuing with Xorg a near impossibility.

If you don’t want new features and don’t care about CVEs that will be discovered in future as well as the bugs (present and future), then you can continue using Xorg, and ignore all this. If not, then you need to find an alternative, which doesn’t need to be Wayland

Oh, and you might need to manage Xorg while other people and software including your distro move onto something else.

So yeah, “xorg bad” is literally the short summary for creating Mir and Wayland

I’ve used mirror.vim for this. Pretty much similar UX as remote workspaces. Forone off editing, you can do vim ssh://remote/<abs or ~ location>

Sometimes, VS Code-ium is piss poor especially over bad connections but otherwise the remote management is quite awesome

And ofc, there’s emacs with TRAMP mode

I wanted to update my family PC (technically, but I don’t think anyone else apart from me used it). Windows XP licence was too expensive for me as a kid and I found a CD ROM in my library with a FOSS OS advertised on it.

Fast forward to now, and I have been using Linux almost exclusively for 15 years now (some Windows usage needed for work or gaming)
