  • According to this study, after adjusting for income, having children is actually associated with higher happiness and well-being.

    From a Psychology Today article that summarizes it:

    However, household income may not be a good indicator of financial stress. A family with low income that lives in an area with a low cost of living might experience less financial stress than a family with a higher income that lives in an area with a much higher cost of living. Therefore, the researchers conducted an additional analysis in which they included a direct measure of whether or not the family experienced difficulties in paying bills in the last year. This analysis showed that difficulties in paying bills represented a central influence factor for the relation of having children and parental well-being. When the researchers statistically controlled for financial difficulties, having children was actually related to greater well-being in parents.



  • Having lived in like 7 different countries for long periods of time I’m convinced there is no objective measure of the quality of food, art, or music.

    There are things that have measures if high quality in Japan that American would find absolutely foul, and the same in the other direction.




  • Nouveau is important because Nouveau is the default driver in Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, and ever other distro.

    Linux distributions can’t easily distribute the proprietary nvidia drivers or the slightly less proprietary nvidia-open drivers so they depend on nouveau as the default nvidia driver. When you install a distro it usually has to use the nouveau drivers before downloading the proprietary blobs from Nvidia.

    Nouveau is the only reason anyone can use Linux on an Nvidia card long enough to install the other drivers.

    It’s also actively maintained, receiving updates that get upstreamed almost daily.

    I’m not sure what about those things says “defunct”.

    And the rust developments in Asahi for the M1+ series of CPUs don’t just benefit Mac but all the ARM CPUs as well.

    I’m not surprised by this.

    The general attitude around R4L is that it’s largely unneeded and for every 1 person actively working against the project, there are 10 saying either “waiting and seeing if it works is the right decision” or “if rust is so good they should prove it.”

    So as a R4L developer you’re expected by the community to fight an uphill battle with basically no support on your side.

    We will likely keep having developers on that project continue to burn out and leave until the entire thing collapses unless the decision is made ahead of time to cancel the project.

    Every time I read any news about Rust for Linux I leave disappointed by the entire kernel community.
