Works on my machine, anecdotally; no Wayland, and an X window manager that hasn't been updated in a decade. Automatically resizes windows when I drag them to fit each monitor's DPI settings.

That's only with Wayland. If you don't use Wayland, the situation has been fine for a decade.

Anecdotally, as a user of a different distribution and desktop environment, yes. Just Works.

"Relatively" seems like it's doing a lot of work there.

Desktop Linux is pretty comfortable and intuitive, actually. There's no challenge involved.

It should be noted that they got rid of their cheapest Quest 2; the 64GB, which was initially at the $299 price point.

I agree that federation is bad, but "Just use [two awful proprietary services, one owned partially by the unethical Chinese conglomerate Tencent and the other owned by a terrible American company]" isn't a good alternative.

I really don't think it proves any point aside from Project Gutenberg being a bad example, as it doesn't really contain the sum of human knowledge in the sense that a pirate library does.

Project Gutenberg is missing a lot of content that is public domain, and the oldest entries are often pretty poor in quality (and some of the oldest entries aren't lucky enough to get redone like Carroll's work has been).

Is it really "large sums of cash," when Microsoft's donating under $50k, Facebook's donating less than $100k, and the grand total is under $600k? That's maybe a single senior developer at one of the three companie

I very strongly recommend an actual course. As a senior dev, you should be able to afford a bit of travel, and most universities allow walk-ins at no cost. Georgia Tech also has a critically-acclaimed online MS program, which might be wor

Take an algorithms course, or read an algorithms textbook. You'll probably be surprised at how much better at everyday programming you'll seem.

Honestly? If a podcast sells itself as being an "AI" podcast, and the creator doesn't expect the audience to know what a computer is, I really do think that it is unimportant.

When does it fill gaps? The only way I could possibly see it filling gaps would be for completely non-technical people.

The questions are dull and generic, but the people come onto the show with an agenda. I like hearing about what they're wanting to talk about, between instances of boring questions.

I listen to a lot of his interviews, actually. A lot more of the talking is done by him than you're implying, and the questions he asks occasionally derail really interesting tangents a guest is on in favor of really dull, extremely ge

Have they ever been good? I come from a long lineage of people who had a parent die while they were still children. Sure doesn't seem like the good's been equitable or balanced.

None of what you're saying implies things were good in 2019, though. It just implies things were getting better compared to the last two crashes we'd had, in theory, for some people. I think people have a right to feel angry, an

Do you not... talk, to your neighbors?

Does this seem suspect to anyone else? It's hard to believe an author trying to instill in you the idea that everything is fine, actually, when stuff is pretty obviously not actually fine. My neighbors are not well off. I am not well o

That doesn't mean people aren't stupid, in contrast to what you implied in another comment. Unwittingly day-trading cryptocurrency is stupid, and the people who desire to do it are not very smart. That said, I do know a decentra

Sounds like the problem's with trading, rather than using it like currency. I've used it for legal, in-person transactions just fine. There are also decentralized exchanges, but the peanut gallery and the incompetent masses would

I dislike cryptocurrency, generally, but plenty of people hold their own keys. It's rarer, now, but that's because mass consumers are generally stupid, not because the technology is flawed. If you can do the correct thing, and y
