Highly recommend Wendover's videos on Airline economics, this specific one is about the various classes in Airline seats

I hope System76 will allow us to install this or offer subscription support for a yearly/monthly fee.

My employer dictates which hardware we buy due to the IT team's limitations, but we're allowed to choose which software we run.

I'm mainly looking for POP_Os or equivalent running on a Thinkpad and would happily pay for a monthly/yearly subscription for features and bug fixes.

Yup, I feel this.

Take for example "Regina", I've always pronouced it re-gih-na, how Regina Saskatchewan was pronounced on CBC and elsewhere.

But here was a lady with same name of Regina who pronounced it re-gi-nah which I guess is more common south of the border?

Aside from the jest above, there's plenty of games with native support in Linux.

- Half-Life 2 series has great support.

- Left 4 Dead series

- Bioshock series

- Counterstrike

- War Thunder

- etc...

There's very little configuration needed, click install in Steam and play.

With the release of SteamDeck, the list of out-of-the-box Linux compatible games should grow over time.

Thanks for this!

I found another article by Martin Stransky who worked on this feature and gives more technical details: https://mastransky.wordpress.com/2021/10/30/firefox-94-comes...

It wasn't mentioned in the release notes but for Linux users EGL is enabled by default now.

I've been manually turning this feature on so this is a welcome improvement.

>We’ve started talking about speeding up our release cadence to better reflect our recent activity.

There's been only one release per year in the past so you can't fault anyone to think the project is dead.

Leadership.

TSMC has competent leaders like Morris Chang and Mark Liu.

Intel had lost it's way after Andy Grove gave up the helm. Pat Gelsinger grew up under Gordon and Grove and the old guard is back.

Bit off topic w.r.t Tesla but could you elaborate more on the SpaceX vs Blue Origin point?

Do they have different methods in building their rockets and their supply chains?

Tweet from Flexport CEO about what's currently happening at Long Beach ports.

https://mobile.twitter.com/typesfast/status/1450904056365404...

Seems there's a bottleneck because trucks aren't picking up containers from the port. They're running out of room in the yard to unload the container ships.

The tweet explicitly says that the Port is not slowing anything down and that they want more shifts.

Rail deliveries are on schedule.

>iPhone killed the iPad. I think you meant iPod here.

Apple Marketing sometimes can be incredulous:

>"First with our contour design that delivers sound directly to your ears"

What does that even mean?!? These are in-ear headphones, how else are they supposed to deliver sound?

Feels silly to have such a comment to make a two point slide.

I had to get a coworker set up under WSL because of a goofup with IT and instead of shipping a Mac this coworker ended up with a Windows machine and all of our tooling was Unix based.

I had had them setup with WSL as a way of moving forward, here's a few things I noticed:

- different home directories, the different distros are accessed as network shares. It can get confusing where "Home" is unless you explicitly stumble a few times and verify always where files are.

- Issues with CR/LF. You need to be careful using native windows tooling and having saved files in Windows line endings vs Unix. For non-savvy users the content looks correct but on Unix the tooling will fail in weird ways.

- Visual Studio Code integration was actually excellent, my coworker ended up using VS Code to do Filesystem operations more so than using Windows Explorer.

- The new Windows Terminal is fantastic, hopefully its bundled with Win 11.

I'm really grateful for the technical capabilities that WSL brings out. I hope the dev teams are focused on fixing the subtle UX issues that trip up users.

Really looking forward to Hubris and especially the design decisons made in building it. Like Bryan says, the why behind it all.

Cheers.

Totally agree about the playfulness.

I still remember this ad for the G4 which feels very similar to Luxo Jr. from Pixar. Really fun.

>"In real terms, the nation would soon return to high unemployment rates, approaching 9% compared with its current rate of 5.2%. Also, come November 1 checks for millions of Social Security recipients would be delayed, Zandi noted. And stock prices would likely plunge by one-third, sparking that $15 trillion loss in household wealth. Meantime, mortgage rates and other interest rates for things like credit cards and auto loans would spike."

Not sure if this article is alarmist.

Wiping out 1/3 of the stock-market and spike in unemployment if true would have triggered enough entities to force a resolution.

I remember there was a debt-ceiling crisis during the Obama era as well. Is this the same old political maneuvering seen before?

I've been out of the loop with the Java ecosystem, but has the transition from Java 8 to 11 completed where most of folks here work?

I was also curious about large ecosystems like Hadoop and their moves from 8 to 11.

Maybe the OS and everything we run today will be considered "lightweight" 50 years from now...

This link was very insightful and this law from Colorado is incredibly useful for employees.

I looked into LinkedIn's listings for Denver, Colorado [1]

Not all the companies that listed there were compliant with the Colorado Law, these are big companies and not just small startups that may not have the bandwith to keep up with various state laws.

The ones that do list the salary ranges, its insightful to compare those to where you reside, and make a judgement call about wether the salary matches up with the cost-of-living.

These can be combined with levels.fyi and other similar sites out there.

Thank you legislators in Colorado!

I see the founder @nrp replying to a few comments here.

@nrp, can you comment on upcoming models? Would love to have a 15" or 17" model with the same swappable ports but with a beefier processor and much larger memory capacities.

The larger frames might allow for more ports, but I'm not sure if you're limited by the number of PCIe lanes on these processors.

I think a Ryzen offering would also be welcomed.

Lastly thanks so much for this product and for first-class Linux support.

>The United States has officially recognized Taiwan as part of China since 1972.

Its a bit more subtle than this.

Something along the lines of the US recognizes the One-China policy but doesn't accept it leaving the whole situation in a limbo status.

I think this video tries to explain it: https://youtu.be/cA8VoY3dUFU

I agree with this. There's work done by NVidia on AI Video Compression around facial ticks and reducing latency and bandwidth. Maybe these two approaches can be combined for a best-of-both worlds result.

I guess this is where Apple and Google are so radically differ in their messaging.

Why do I as a customer care about Tensor or TPU, what does it give me or more clearly, why should I care?

Apple's messaging is about longer battery life or instant start or whatever, things I as a user see and notice.

How does having a Tensor or whatever core affect me in day to day useage?

I'm not getting that message clearly from skimming the article, other than "We have Tensor"

Funny that WilmerHale has diversity and inclusion as a "principle" while they actively undermine others and are paid to do so.

>"Our commitment to diversity and inclusion starts at the top and cascades throughout the firm. WilmerHale is one of very few AmLaw 100 firms with a woman co-managing partner, and part of an even smaller number of such firms that have had both a woman and a person of color as a co-managing partner. Our diversity and inclusion journey is one of continuous assessment, progress, and partnership with others committed to advancing these principles in the legal profession."

Any idea if we/when we can get a Ryzen based models?

Ryzens have higher thread-counts and Vega Graphics outperforms Iris graphics.

If this can be paired with Thunderbolt, I'd be super happy to purchase this laptop.

The idea of swappable ports is great! Why not make a large 17" model with desktop components and even more ports?

Sure, you don't have to use k8s. You can roll your own solutions to what it solves.

Your own custom built solution will work, but what in 5 years? 10 years? When it all becomes legacy what then?

Will you find the talent who'll want to fix your esoteric environment, just like those COBOL devs?

Will anyone respond to your job posts to fix your snowflake environment. Will you pay above average wages to fix your snowflake ways of solving problems that k8s standardized?

I bet your C-Level is thinking this. What's to say they won't rip out all of your awesomeness and replace it with standard k8s down the line as its dominating the marketshare.

When you're laid off in the next recession, is your amazing problem-solving on your snowflake environment going to help you when everyone else is fully well versed with k8s?

Great, when do Cruise and all the others actually come out of R&D and solve the issues faced by me and others on this thread.

Otherwise you're beating a dead horse.

Uber bet the house on self-driving cars, that's what was supposed to make all of this sustainable.

Seems all these efforts have failed, and I'd be curious how many short positions are out there against them.

I've been at the receiving end of these Uber & Lyft shortages. Can't get a ridershare below $80 at SFO after 9pm even if you've pre-scheduled one. The drivers also keep cancelling in an attempt to pump rates higher. Its incredibly frustrating.

I've pretty much given up and now rent a car when I would have taken an Uber when I'm out of town.
