To me, the main issue is that many preferred softwares are not offered on Linux because of its small market share. The market share doesn't grow because preferred softwares aren't there. It's a circular problem.

That issue is improving all the time though as new softwares tend to target Linux natively (ex. Discord, Zoom, Slack). Furthermore, the compatibility layers are getting better for non-native programs (ex. Steam deck).

I really don't see a universe where Linux stops taking over the world, including the desktop. Adobe and Excel probably can't hold Windows up forever.

Are you looking at pyrite or are you Jed Clampett? What's happening here

Anything they give you, they can take it away.

Say in Canada, the workforce was set to be short around 2 million people. They're not even all retired yet and Canada has imported around 8 million bodies.

I don't know why people feel they can't ethically criticize immigration. TBH I suspect you've been conditioned by the owners.

The trillionaires will greatly benefit from our new 20 hour work days.

Like other commenters, I went to EOS for Arch with GUI installer and that's what I got. Took me like half an hour to download my usual programs and dotfiles.

I'm sorry to criticize but who is this article written for? It's either so dense that you already need to be an expert to unpack all the information, or the information is not there.

I would recommend starting from the assumption that the Hacker News layman knows the http protocol. Make sure what you show us is possible to follow from some reasonable starting point.

There are more scams than legit products. It used to be the cheapest option, now it's the most expensive. Everyone is just reselling from Ali Express. The quality of the Amazon store went way downhill.

But sometimes the situation is taken advantage of and the appeasement goes too far. Like instead of cutting firewood for the wood stove, you just throw all your furniture and cabinetry and doors in there. Then you just ask for new ones from a big company who just wants to quietly put this problem away without stirring up a fuss and risking their project or bigger costs later. That actually happened lol.

It’s not a race issue or a cultural issue. Natives are competent people. We may have different ancestral traditions, but we share exactly the same culture today. Where do you think the Canadian accent comes from? That’s a native accent. Our cultures mixed together.

If a business and a land owning band want to cut a deal, by all means. If the government and the bands want to settle land compensation, then settle it once and for all. It really just never ends as it stands. Like what does free post secondary have to do with land claims? It really looks like systemic racism.

And if the government was serious about any of this they’d give them autonomy in their lands. Statehood. That hasn’t happened. Why not? I get that you can’t sign over Vancouver because it’s been developed, but a lot of these places are in the bush.

It’s really a shit show. We’re not the rich country we once were. We can’t afford to pay billions forever on repeat just to make it go away for a little while. Settle it all immediately and make all races equal.

Those protections will apply when the platform is owned by American citizens.

Maybe a weaker player with a different perspective makes the team stronger than would another homogenous superstar.

I just don’t know.

Focus comes from being so addicted to your project that it’s a problem. You get pissed off that you have to eat. You find the perfect time for a two minute power shower. You stay up late and wake up after 4 hours saying “woohoo let’s fucking go!”. That’s focus. It only happens if you love what you’re doing.

If you don’t have that addiction then you don’t care about what you’re working on in the first place, so why do you want to find focus anyways? Just clock in and clock out and look for a better path.

A lecture won’t make you proficient. Doing (homework) makes you proficient.

Is lecture all you need to remember which ideas to look up in future? I think you’ll develop a better understanding of whether you need an idea if you understood it in the first place. For this reason we need to develop proficiency through practice.

And then you need proficiency to achieve success in grading. Grading is feedback that lets you know where you stand relative to other students. And that’s what we use for admissions.

Nobody is becoming proficient from lectures. Students must be proficient.

You either need homework, or teachers can stop wasting everyone’s time yapping and just be there to answer questions for half the class duration.

Time lock puzzles take variable time depending on hardware. You can’t really set an accurate specific release time.

Any change in the universe that a computer can detect is just another spoofable input.

Blockchain tries to solve essentially the same problem but the best it can reliably do is establish a chronology. That’s not a specific time. And it has fundamental vulnerabilities, however unlikely you think they are to be exploited in established systems.

Intel is building proof of elapsed time into their chips but that’s not trustless.

Timelock puzzles and blockchain are imo hacky solutions to one of the most important outstanding problems in cryptography: securely and trustlessly agreeing on elapsed time.
