The developer is "Ascensio System SIA", and they are located in Riga, Latvia.

Why the mention of Russian developers?

You mean the "US-Israel war of aggression against Iran"?

Let's not avoid assigning responsibility when it is so clear.

By that logic all sorts of technical and scientific terms would be "meaningless".

Seems like playing semantics, to not say disingenuous, using "meaningless" to mean "unknown", when the former clearly has a negative connotation.

> Weight gain has basically happened across the whole developed world

Could it be that maybe, maybe, there is a link to this and the subject of the paper being discussed?

It's absolutely not a meaningless term, it's a classification in the Nova standard:

And regarding health risks, please ask your doctor about your consumption. You may be surprised.

I'm seeing quite a bit of request for these on my work's GitBook documentation site.

But perhaps these are developers specifically targeting these pages to feed whatever LLM they are using.

But nah, I'm sure OP doesn't know about CDNs.

Linux are also more likely to contribute bug reports and crash dumps.

Security conscious doesn't mean not getting involved with the community and helping useful projects.

You can try running in gamescope, although in my experience Wayland has not been an issue. The few games I have that gave me problems in Wine didn't work any better when using an X11 session.

On the one hand this could be interesting for military and government looking to make sure there are no backdoors in the hardware they are using.

On the other hand, having it public makes exploits more likely since everyone can take a look.

For software this is beneficial, any fixed bug or exploit is then available to everyone and can be easily deployed.

I'm not very familiar with hardware but it seems like it would require new chips to be manufacturered to really fix any issues.

If they use US tech they are just one orange temper tantrum away from losing access...

You must be deep into the Apple walled garden.

And you're right, I'll never get it I guess.

I'll spend more on something of equivalent features for only two reasons: build quality and freedom. Alas, most electronics nowadays offer neither, so cheapest it is.

That's what how we got fuel economy regulations in the 1970s. But it didn't really usher in a golden age of public transport. Probably would just help Tesla and BYD.

Wow you live surrounded by idiots. The dog owners, not the dogs, of course.

Same situation, working from home, although my city has decent public transport so even going downtown is easier without driving. But now when I need to drive for whatever reason, I get frustrated at having to drive. I'll complain about having to take the car, that why can't they put a bus route here, why is it the train doesn't stop at the station I need etc etc.

Which actually surprised me, when my SO said to me: but I thought you liked driving? When we first met you were always working on your car...

Oh yeah. I did, didn't I? It just kinda happened without me realizing it.

Ergonomics, yes, sure.

For the sound though, a block of any material strong enough to resist the string tension will be just fine.

I think you're both right.

Marketing is very effective, and lots of people are willing to pay a little bit more for a particular brand.

On the other hand there's also lots of people who will look for the best value for the money, or want to support smaller luthiers.

As you mentioned usually with experience one gravitates towards the second group, but most instrument purchases is entry level gear for beginners.

Disclaimer: coming from classical guitar world, but have noticed largely the same pattern, eg someone paying more for an Alhambra when a regional luthier will be less. Not that Alhambra is a bad brand, just that those marketing salaries have to come from somewhere!

Fairly old news at this point.

A bit more difficult is growing edible mushrooms along with the plants, for example Boletus edulis, which are symbiotic with oaks and other trees.

The difficulty lies in the waiting period, it can easily take years before any fruiting bodies appear.

If you have a variable named `quit`, you would have a different behavior in running a file vs running in the CLI.

Gave it a try for structured data extraction. Tested returning a JSON object from images.

The output was correct, and seemed deterministic, although I ran it only 2-3 times on the same image.

Main problem is response time: it took about 20-25 seconds for a simple structure of 5 fields. As such unusable at scale, let alone "real time" processing.

Other problem is cost, it is considerably more expensive than more established models for the same document, like flash-light.

Shame, the architecture is very interesting.

> it's not happening on our timescale.

Talk to anyone over 30 and they'll tell you the climate has already changed.

Well anyone that doesn't have a political agenda or shares in ExxonMobil.

You can buy sets of matching luggage.

"Funny" story, in a few months we'll be moving a few hundred km north, partly due to the summers being unbearably hot and dry the past few years.

Now we're hearing more and more about the area we're going to potentially getting really cold due to the weakening of the Atlantic current.

Good times.

Yes the movie was vaguely inspired by the science.

The AMOC has been studied for a long time, including the effects of its possible weakening.

Where the movie is firmly in fantasy land of course is in the timeline, where the effects are nearly instant rather than likely over decades in reality.

A lot of younger developers seem to really like this. Not a big fan personally, but you gotta live with the times I suppose.

I do draw the line when they start putting them in console outputs though.

Wow, so much negativity, when the app scores really high on things that are supposed to be important here:

* Desktop first, no electron crap

* Open source and free

* Linux first

* Subjective, but to me it looks clean

If getting all that means using some AI vibe code, that's fine by me. Who isn't these days anyway? (Be honest!)

Anyway I hope the project is successful, more choice and competition in Matrix clients is a good thing.

Now if only they can fix video calls...

Chat seems like a really bad way to get patient information. You'll miss out on various cues doctors will use to diagnose you. People can get ashamed of their symptoms and may try to hide them.

They do, there will be a Linux penguin on the supported OSes list if the game has native support for Linux. If the game doesn't have native support, and you buy the game on a Linux machine, it will warn you about possible incompatibility.

In any case the reality is that every game I've bought on GOG has worked pretty much perfectly on Wine, I use winetricks. The main problem with Windows games these days is the DRM which on Wine will crash. Good thing GOG games don't come with any.

Same. I've gotten into disagreements with HR over this when hiring for my teams.

For cities where the flight is an 1.5 hours or less high speed rail (300kph) is usually about the same (if not slightly faster) because it's much faster to get in and out.

This works even better when the train station is closer to downtown than the airport.

Yes, it will likely raise prices.

My point/question is whether this will reduce air travel and increase demand for rail.
