My government (Germany) just "lost" (their feeling, esp. voiced by minister of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital infrastructure (BMVI) who is from the most conservative coalition partner and sees tougher standards as a problem) on the EU level when they voted for tougher CO2 limits for cars. German governments have always valued the car industry (or any other for that matter) higher.

On the other hand, I'm from East Germany, and the area was a huge dump. very dirty rivers, ash mountains, it was really bad. A few decades later: Mostly paid for by West Germany (due to their still being far less industrial power in the Eat) rivers are actually wonderful. The river through Nuremberg, where I live now, (still?) is dirty and stinks (probably runoff from agriculture) - but the two rivers in East Germany where I used to grow up now have wonderful clean water. The ash mountains were removed, which took thousands of trucks and a few years, there now is new industry in that spot. It is much, MUCH cleaner than before. Similar efforts took place in West Germany in areas where there had been lots of dirty industry and mining. As a student I got to be on an educational tour and was shown a lot of projects, they had achieved incredible improvements in formerly devastated areas.

Also, courts and cities are starting to try to fight pollution by cars, e.g. by placing bans and restrictions on Diesel powered cars, at this point often against the federal government which fears loss of jobs (the great thread from the car industry whenever they are asked to build cleaner cars).

So, good as well as bad in Germany. I think we are way too dependent on the car industry. It's not just the known manufacturers themselves, the amount of directly dependent industry is even bigger. One in seven jobs and ~14% of GDP is in or depends on the car industry (https://www.thelocal.de/20150924/what-the-vw-scandal-means-f...).

The parent conceded we're talking 50 years not 35 years, and my point wasn't only that the job is different but that society is different.

how is the job different? The pay is much higher and so are the entry requirements, that's the biggest difference. You don't get assigned to program punch cards as part of your secretarial role, you have to actively get educated and good to choose it as a career.

I think there's far more places now expecting crazy hours but that's anecdotal I don't have numbers on it. But the languages are different (mostly), the tooling is different, the deployment is different, the scale is different.

making registration harder on people that move regularly

That's a silly constraint given that one has to reregister every time one moves because almost every move results in a change of precinct. So, yeah, if you move regularly, you incur more reregistration tasks.
no one has any problems with Republicans. Its Republicans in a party that has openly allowed avowed Nazis. (Yes you read that right) to run as the GOP candidate. I think there were 12 at the last count?

Not to mention the Hypocrisy of hammering on about freedom, (except if you are a woman and you are making decisions about your own body)

Oh and there's the total disregard for the environment, which is now taking a worse (if thats possible) turn as the child health director of the EPA is being removed so polluters are more free to turn the US in to some sort of Russian hinterland where people "deal with"pollution and the resulting health costs.

Not to mention... the whole Russian "thing" that's currently going on, and I'm not even going to get in to the healthcare farce the GOP has created and is trying to create.

So the Republican party of old is a fairly decent crowd. This new incarnation... its disgusting. If there is a backlash, its coz theres no smoke without fire in this case right? Maybe some introspection about why it is so.. instead of being a snowflake and pretending you are persecuted might enlighten you.

Telemetry is not like storing your shipping address, though. It's more like the delivery guy delivering to your shipping address, waiting for you to turn your back and then rummaging through the stuff in your house – unless you happen to shout the magic phrase "Simon says no telemetry!" as soon as you open the door.

I've been using FreeBSD, then Linux since 2002 and I'm seriously considering moving to Windows, which I haven't ran on any of my machines since back when Windows XP was fresh. If you think all the stuff you listed is bad, wait 'til you run into Gnome, GTK and KDE, where not only do windows not remember their previous position on multi-screens, but desktop icons don't remember their position on a single one :-).

(Or you can't have them at all without an extension, yeah, that too...)

Windows has progressed by leaps and bounds since 2003. Linux, not so much. We have this fixation on building something, then deciding it's full of legacy code that doesn't allow us to build what we really want, so we throw it out and do it all over again.

The good news is that we've been on the "building" side of this pattern for a while. The bad news is that we've been on the "building" side of this pattern for a while so I expect there's not much time left until the next "revolution"...
Zeroqode – Everything You Need to Build Apps Without Code
Fair point. We've definitely seen that trend happen where software will often be written to take advantage of the resources available rather than written to be efficient. Not just in recent times with Electron but throughout the evolution of GUI-driven operating systems (eg compositing desktops, themeing, pre-compositing animations, etc).

The gaming industry demonstrates this the most clearly but it's definitely present in general purpose computing as well. eg when Windows XP was first released (pre-service packs) it required twice the hardware specifications of Windows 2000 yet offered little functional difference (read: actual real world stuff that could be done on it) aside themeing.

Thankfully that trend with Windows has reversed somewhat but it's still ever-present with desktop software and their movement towards using web-based technologies.
While I generally agree, I'm being more generic.

A single data point doesn't establish any direction or trend at all.

With two data points you can establish a trend and make a prediction about the next data point. However, any two data points form a line, so any two results can be used to make a trend, however wrong it may be.

Only when more points are used can you confirm the trend and reduce the probability of being (un)lucky.

Please stop doing this. With the same attitude, I could call you a naive starry eyed fanboy who has been duped by some benevolent looking little tricks and who is riding on the sugary wave of MS apologism that has been going on here for a while.

The actual money for MS comes from its strong foothold within corporations. And if you look at the picture here, you will see technical interdependencies and licensing models that are carefully crafted to make MS technology spread like a cancer through your org.

None of this is in danger of being changed by any of Microsoft's oh so benevolent moves. Those are merely to get people like us developers on their good side.

Microsoft opensources .NET core. But not those parts that are important to interoperate with other MS technologies. For that you are still stuck with Windows and closed source. This doesn't even slightly endanger MS's foothold here.

Microsoft embraces Linux. But as part of Windows and not to the benefit of Linux as an independent OS. Should MS Office ever run on Linux then the boat has turned wrt. Linux. What I see here is classic embrace, extend, extinguish.

Microsoft builds VS Code, an editor for web developers. VS Code does not compete with Visual Studio but with editors like Sublime. MS is trying to pull developers working on MacBooks and Linux to their side, to their technology stack. Get people to care for (in the form of making plugins etc.) technology under their control.

The current developer world revolves around open source and communities taking care of projects they need and use. MS wants control of this (cf. the acquisition of Github).

Keep this in mind when judging any new move of Microsoft.

It's amazing that the escape mechanisms worked, though we have yet to see the crew's conditions.

The 60" CRT typically required 45-65" of space front to back. That's a lot of room to give up.

I would charitably read it as her describing her own presence in her husband's life and how exactly she's there for him. I'd take it as her talking about herself as a woman, and many people do thrive in supporting roles as opposed to leadership ones. She's every right to describe what womanhood means to her.

It might still be awkward and uncomfortable to hear (I would balk at any talk of making a company be like 'family', for example), but I wouldn't take it any further than personally disagreeing with the sentiment. No one is ever going to agree on a single definition of what family means, or what men and women are here for.
The Chinese are excluded from the ISS. Their Tianzhou spacecraft is a direct Soyuz descendant, so it might be possible to dock it to the ISS, but this was not a part of the plan so it hasn't been designed for it, much less tested.

I never thought of something like this existing but it seems obvious now and I'm surprised I haven't seen one before. The fact that PCs had these capabilities built in was I guess enough to kill it, but that didn't stop actual fax machines from clinging on to life for far too long - I suppose they had momentum.

I'd love to see LGR or Techmoan do a video on this thing.

I don't know how many students of my semester dropped out.

One professor said they had a drop-out rate of 40%, most of them in the first two semesters and that's not counting the people who just changed their major.

I studied "computer science and media," and many students had the impression it should be some mix of graphic design and a bit programming, but in the end, it was basic computer science with most of the examples from "media" (computer graphic, web development, printing, etc.)

When I was at the end of my degree, they also created a new degree called "mobile media," which was like "computer science and media," but with iOS and Android examples.

Since the name was so catchy, "mobile media" was filled with people who never in their right mind would have studied CS, only a hand full of them survived the first semester.
I guess you spend more time in UNIX platforms?

As for being an alternative systems language for people who favor memory safety, I fully agree, my point is that it still needs to improve its productivity and eco-system.

At CppCon 2018 Embedded Development panel, one theme was that only now companies are slowly willing to migrate from C to C++11(!), with a language that allows for a progressive rewrite from C while keeping the existing toolchains.

Another productivity example, with .NET I can get the safety I advocate, while C++/CLI/CX/WinRT allow for a seamless interoperability story with native code.

So even if the lifetime analysis is a subset of what Rust is capable of, mixed debugging and seamless CLR/COM/UWP integration are more attractive than rewriting that code in Rust, without having VS integration and WIP integration with Windows APIs.

I think Rust on its current state, is more indicated for GC free scenarios with either CLI or headless execution.

The idea is that I will wrote my own markdown rendering, navigation, html/css, etc for each project. "But what about the time it takes to implement all the features you need!" The time it takes to implement these minor things take far less time in the long run, and I will never have to be in an endless fight with the tooling to get simple tree navigation. Every feature I implement is exactly what I need, no more, no less.

While we can praise Churchill for many things, we should never gloss over the fact that he favored eugenics and was deeply racist [1]. For instance, he's quoted as saying "I do not admit... that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race... has come in and taken their place."

When Stalin starved millions of people we invented a completely new word for it, when Churchill does it it's barely 'controversial'.
Wasn't this Soyuz escape mechanism already triggered in 1975 ?
Yes I meant Euros ;)
They have a single return capsule there. They can't leave anyone without a return/rescue boat, so they all have to return together and leave the station empty. And as you said they can't extend stay for a year because Soyuz has limited life.
I really enjoyed The Last Lion a biography of Churchill by William Manchester. I look forward to comparing that book with this.
What a time we're living in
One of the ways you can land a Soyuz is basically an uncontrolled crash land. It is so dependable compared to any other spaceship that I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes an emergency return capsule, after it stops being the main spaceship used to reach the ISS.

You’re still missing the point, which was that new technologies enable new uses that consume the energy efficiency gains made over their predecessors.

TFTs, being thinner/cooler/more efficient than CRTs, allow bigger and more common screens thus using some if not all of the energy saved from doing away with CRTs.

This is the same point as someone else made up the thread WRT the availability of RAM enabling developers to be more complacent about the efficiency of their applications.
While there isn’t a formal SecDef veto, in a situation as extreme as “rogue president ordering nuclear launch for no good reason”, the “verification” step is still a non-trivial safeguard.

There’s also no obligation for the military to obey an illegal order.
That's great! There's much to love about technology. And I also get to talk with friends and family even living abroad.
But it also makes me not pay attention when I am on public transport, or shut myself from the world. And I can't be the only one where my phone bring more distraction that meaningful connection.
Clara Is a Story of Exoplanets, Existential Longing--and Real Science
Given Churchill's racism, for instance, the quote ("His biography demonstrates its subject’s greatness but manages to make him lovable, too") seems a bit off, no? A biography that presents Churchill as "lovable" clearly does not give these things the weight they deserve.
Thanks for the Guix info, as I say I've not really used it. The use of "phases", etc. is what I was getting at w.r.t. Nix's complicated "autoconf/automake support" (AKA `stdenv.mkDerivation`).

As you say, Guix's use of Scheme rather than stiching shell scripts together should be more powerful (in particular, concatenating strings of bash results in a rather opaque builder; whilst a more declarative s-expression approach would make traversing and modifying the builder more feasible)

I think it was in 1983 but not the same mechanism, it was the Launch Escape System, this time (as far as I've read in the news) it was a failure of a stage that put the capsule in a ballistic trajectory instead of in orbit.
