That is somewhat mitigated by grouping comparisons of S/M/L change sizes.

It would be interesting to group changes by line-deletions, say to indicate rewrites (and size of them)

on top of that, I personally know several women scientists that had to put up with his misogyny first-hand.

All my teacher friends (before this article) had joyously reported on lunch rooms being loud again (and even fights and lol, sex) happening.... But in a good way. If kids aren't getting into some trouble then they're not interacting and learning about society and human nature enough

I can't imagine the Cloud Act being effective without Microsoft (and French gov) complicity.

If they can make successful tax shelters they can architect the entities and the architecture to remove this option.

There's some 9-eyes thing where this is a feature not a bug

Microsoft tried architecting a "surveillance shelter" in Ireland. It worked. That's actually why the CLOUD Act even exists[0]: it was passed specifically to prohibit Microsoft from doing this.

I do this with audiobooks/podcasts and then can start with the lights off and lying down. (important part I find is making sure the dynamics are low -- no high-volume ads or flashy punctuated sound effects)

Not sure if any other buds work like this but the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds seem to auto-pause based on some kind of fitbit/sleep indicator which help even more with staying asleep.

From the article: > Another argument supporting the suggestion that species which have lost their GLO gene were under no selective pressure to keep it, is that all species which have lost their GLO gene have very different diets but all of them have diets rich in vitamin C

What would a diet poor in vitamin C be considering that "everything else" makes it? I guess root vegetables? It feels like, if anything, this would imply a GLO gene decay more often than has happened, no?

That is probably a question for a nutritionist not me. My understanding is Grains, root vegetables, and meat are all low in vitamin C. Likely other things as well. But I'm not a nutritionist (I've read enough that I think I'm right here, but not enough to state it with confidence), so take the above with plenty of salt.

Well, xz is a rare event too.

There's no knowing how many backdoors were added by small network companies or contractors. But there's rarely accountability when it happens because the company would rather cover it up, or just not ask too many questions about that weird bug

> xz is a rare event too.

The discovery of the hack is rare, sure. Once a decade kind of thing.

The implication is that Jia Tan is a professional, and XZ was one of many irons on the fire.

Don’t be like Trump!

Don’t confuse positive tests with cases!

Jia Tan surely had many other attacks going.

Surely he’s not the only one.

Famously, there are two kinds of large organisations: those that have been hacked, and those that don’t yet know they’ve been hacked.

The open source community was the latter.

Now they’re the former.

Some of you all are still playing catch up.

The main difference is that closed source software is not auditable, so when it is compromised you don't know.

It's safe to assume pretty much all the firmware you're running is vulnerable. It doesn't matter though, because you cannot find out.

The attackers can. You can't. And that's why we still have botnets.

I was so sad when I lost xmonad support on Ubuntu 24.

I think the closest thing that could get most of the way there is https://github.com/domferr/tilingshell/

You can get very close if not all the way with qtile if you accept using python instead of haskell.

I have Xmonad running well on Ubuntu 24 with Gnome Flashback

The packages I install are: xmonad libghc-xmonad-extras-dev gnome-flashback gnome-panel

(plus suckless-tools and xmobar)

That should give you a login option for "GNOME Flashback (Xmonad)"

I recall there were a couple of hacks necessary to show the Gnome Panel:

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback root-background true

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback desktop false

and then the panels you can hide or remove per your preference

Could you elaborate?

I'm a long-time Xmonad user. Currently, I'm using Ubuntu 25.04, having upgraded to new non-LTS releases every six months, on two computers running Xmonad. I haven't run into any problems.

If you're not committed to Ubuntu, Xmonad still works great with X11 in the latest Debian Stable.

The headline is a little crazy. This is like someone talking about the Human Genome Project and the headline reading "scientists discover humans have DNA" The diversity at many levels was even known. They're just trying (which is great) to get far more known genomes (the same way we are doing with human microbiomes now)

I'm pretty sure they weren't unrecognizable or mystery and it's just being used as a pejorative for food they didn't like
