Ah that makes sense, thanks!

I had been using LineageOS + microG for many years on my Pixel 3. I upgraded to a Pixel 8 and tried out GrapheneOS and the install experience was good, but I found some odd performance quirks - apps would be slow to install and run, downloads were slow, etc. Has anyone had similar issues?

Many apps that work on microG don't work in GrapheneOS without installing Google services anyway. I'm by no means across the full privacy implications, but my feeling is microG balances privacy and usability better for me.

I've since switched back to LineageOS+microG and am happy with it. Just my experience.

It appears to use a lot of memory too, at least in Firefox. I can't have more than a few Linear tabs open at a time.

Boring isn't it? Reading half a book every single day.

Not for him though, he loves it.

There's a lot in here that I which I knew more about. You often hear about think tanks in Australia, and know they have political leanings but I wasn't aware of their precise nature. Shows my ignorance, but the movements between think tank boards and polticial appointments/the RBA are concerning.

The ABC does some truly fantastic political/economic reporting and analysis. This one is unusually long though, many of the author's (Gareth Hutchens) other articles are very good at distilling current economic trends and ideas into something understandable by lay people like me.

I've been using Envoy Gateway in my homelab and have found it to be good for my modest needs (single node k3s cluster running on an old PC). I needed to configure the underlying EnvoyProxy so that it would listen on specific IPs provided by MetalLB, and their docs were good enough to find my way through that.

Brilliant, I'm anxiously awaiting Australian pricing details (and release dates...) but could definitely seeing myself getting one of these as my first VR device, and the controller looks great too.

Being able to run games on device (and on ARM) is very cool, but I wonder if there is a cheaper/lighter/longer-battery-life version of this that is stream only? That's probably a better fit for me personally, I can't imagine not having a streaming device nearby when I would be using it.

Also hate to be picky, but looks like the frame controllers pair directly to the headset so maybe can't be used on their own? Would be nice to use them standalone too.

Proton/Wine is so good these days. Rarely have I had an issue running a game in the last 3 or 4 years. Sometimes EA/Ubisoft games that have their own special launchers don't work immediately, but ProtonDB and the Proton GitHub issues are great resources to get them going.

I remember when Cyberpunk 2077 came out it didn't work at first, but the Proton and Glorious Egg Roll devs got it running within a few days. Legends.

Even many games that support native linux run better under wine.

Agree. It was getting in the way of me spending time with the family because I was distracted mulling over the puzzles.

I had thought last year that they could peak the difficulty around the middle of the month and bring it down a bit leading up to the 25th. But just finishing it earlier is probably better IMO.

In my experience, the people using AI to make programs are still programmers. As in, they were trained in programming pre-AI. Managers are using AI to output manager stuff - documents, spreadsheets, etc. Similarly, marketers are using AI to write ad copy, not the marketing manager.

This may change as tools become better known or adopted. But for know the same people who did the job before are now using AI in that job.

FWIW, in my IRL experience, all the work output of those using AI for whatever task has been of poorer quality than without.

It depends on the ORM, I know SQLAlchemy and Django ORM have some Postgres specific features (e.g. full text search/indexing). Some also let you extend the ORM to add your own features, or at least write raw SQL.

When I worked as a pizza delivery guy (favorite casual job I had during uni) we only used those big pizza rocker things, which I think are better than these wheels. Easier to clean too.

Insightful article, thanks for writing/sharing!

Lol, this reminded me of those engravings we put on spacecraft. Like, if we had to communicate the algorithm to an alien civilization then sure, this might be the best way to do it!
