>If you take the idea of undefined behavior seriously, then it is valid to blow up the world in response to an error and the compiler cannot protect you

That's not its job. The compiler cannot protect you from everything. (You shouldn't be using a computer that has the ability to blow up the world.) The compiler merely translates code from language A into language B. If you pass it some code in some third language which could parse as mal-formed A code, then how is to detect that?

If I write a language with the same syntax as C but entirely different semantics, and I pass it to a C compiler, what do you think should happen? Undefined behavior is what happens.
I had a really long reply typed up with some specific workflow problems. But you can see people complain elsewhere in this thread about how Adobe handles stuff like this.

The basic problem is that the color space for blending is an application setting (can't be specified in the file) and higher bit depths will double or triple your file size.
Or we can not install apps that do this kind of stuff.
I believe IEEE754 floats have that subtraction/addition guarantee (as long as the hardware doesn't map subnormals to zero). The problem in this case is the input numbers are rounded when they are converted from text/decimal to a float, and so aren't exact.
What do you mean? The government is not a single contiguous entity. To have another government, elect different politicians.

The frustration is that however much we dislike Tuesday government, these are the representatives that we collectively chose.
As long as elected officials believe sports fan voters will punish them for letting a team leave, they will be blackmailed by team owners. The day pols are punished by voters for subsidizing millionaires, that will stop.

Like more people here, I have really everything in the cloud, so my filesystem (encrypted linux ext4) is a complete mess. I have a github repository with scripts that, after entering my decryption password, will restore any linux/Mac/windows machine to the production machine I need within minutes. So I just format my drive when it gets annoying.

I get stressed about everything being in the cloud sometimes, but there is so much that I don't really know how I would back it up in an organized fashion. Still waiting for an affordable backup service that allows me to download 'the blob that is my life' from all top 25 services (gmail, google phones, drive, docs, ms office cloud, github, Dropbox etc). But I have not found something like that that actually works with the rancid volume I have and the trust I would need to provide such a service. Ofcourse business documents etc are backed up (legal requirement), but that is a really tiny % of everything I have.
I write, eat, hold a pool cue, golf club, and rifle left-handed but play guitar and hockey right-handed (among other things). Most of my life, my vocabulary defined either “left-handed” or “right-handed” people, where I’d consider you and I left-handed but with right-handed adaptations. (“A lefty living in a right-handed world”) But maybe “mixed handed” is a more accurate term.

I am actually going to buy a separate GPS for the car and disable as much as possible on the phone.
Hi, I'm Sanghyuk Jung, the author of this article.
Please share your thought, and provide good examples made by designer-coder. Thanks.
Cellular carriers sell your real-time GPS location even if you turn off your phone (GPS chips operate outside the network)

Exactly.

And given that the coworker was there before OP was, it's very likely that there's more going on than they see.

I was in a similar situation (lots of life stuff, manager of a team, accused of underperforming), and I had to deal with a lot of special requests because I knew basically everything at the company. When I left, my coworkers contacted me to say that they didn't realize how much I actually did and that they're surprised I was able to get as much done as I did.

You don't know their situation, and you don't need to. Get your work done, help out where reasonable, but leave it at that. If the manager asks why things are late, be frank (I did my part and X and Y for coworker Z), but don't point fingers. It's not your job to fix the company unless you're primarily paid in equity (doesn't seem to be the case), and even then, there's probably a better way than trying to get someone fired (options you mentioned).

We basically did what your suggested with another employee who was under performing, and once he got the right fit, he did much better. Sometimes it takes a third party to see your weaknesses and suggest a better fit.
Fun fact: my Android phone battery was being sucked at a fast pace last month. I don't remember exactly how it presented itself in the UI, but I ended up figuring out that the Google app was the culprit, because it was using the GPS... which I had explicitly disabled.

An internet search showed I was not alone with such problems, and that the solution was to manually revoke some permissions for the app (thankfully it was possible).

I find it amazing that an app can make use of the GPS when it's disabled! I'm actually seriously pissed about it, but there's not much I can do about it.
To add to your devil’s advocate arguement:

Educated and physically capable men with some wealth typically became warriors in the past. They certainly didn’t become blacksmiths/builders/engineers/whatever. Maybe there’s something to be said for an entire industry and culture around letting this type of person act out their aggression in a less violent way. Probably serves a huge good to a stable society in general, so that the builders can build in relative peace. If you believe that prices reflect value, then definitely more good to pay these dudes to tackle each other than it is to pay for doctors and teachers - Can’t care for the raped and pillaged.

Funny though that now we get the less-fortunate rungs of society to fight the wars now.
> Outside of the academic world decimals are almost always a better solution

Is “academic world” now a shorthand for “all numerical computing”?

Decimals basically never make sense, except possibly in some calculations related to money. Those make up a minuscule part of modern computer use.

Maybe decimals are also better for homework assignments for schoolchildren?

The type of applications where decimals are useful are by and large insensitive to compute speed and need no special hardware support. You can easily write your code for decimal arithmetic on top of integer arithmetic hardware.

Those of us who need binary floating point for graphics, audio, games, engineering, science, .... won’t stop you.
Sounds like someone really wants to push the narrative that, say, Zoe Quinn is a genius game designer and an innocent victim of targeted harassment, not a horrid person who herself organized harassment mobs against people she disagreed with -- and is running into the problem of all that pesky evidence to the contrary getting in the way.

Interestingly, Jamal's cousin is Dodi Fayed, the guy who married and died with Princess Diana in the car crash in Paris.
Also, it looks like Jamal might have been somehow involved in an attempt to remove MBS from power, so likely more than just critical journalism that got him killed.
I used this for a bit but the duplication of information from this and the existing tab bar made it really annoying. Maybe you can hide the 'normal' bar pretty easily and I just didn't find the setting?
To be clear, my point was that if programmers always saw floating-point numbers printed out as a range, from their beginning programming days, more of them would be likely to understand floating-point numbers better — or at least avoid the (impossible) idea that they map 1:1 with the real numbers. Having understood floating-point numbers, they would know what to expect from 9999999999999999.0 – 9999999999999998.0 with 64-bit floating-point. So though seeing a range here won't help magically restore precision that's been lost, having seen ranges earlier would help, before trying to carrying out this calculation.

Nevertheless, you have a good point and what I take away from this is that showing a range for the end result of a computation (instead for a given number directly entered by the user/programmer) can be misleading if the result of the exact computation wouldn't actually have been in that range.

I use TST extensively to manage hundreds of tabs, and it is a real joy. FWIW, these are the customizations that made TST much more usable for me:

1) Very importantly, hide the horizontal tab bar. You get some vertical screen space back, and you aren't distracted by two ways of showing the same tabs. You'll have to edit your userChrome.css (see e.g. http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css&pri... for details on how to find it), and add something like this:

/* Hide tab bar in FF Quantum */
@-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/browser.xul") {
#TabsToolbar {
visibility: collapse !important;
margin-bottom: 21px !important;
}

#sidebar-box[sidebarcommand="treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp-sidebar-action"] #sidebar-header {
visibility: collapse !important;
}
}

There are a few variations; this is the one that works well for me on Mac. The second block also hides the sidebar title for TST, which saves space in the tab bar.

2) I customize the tabs themselves to make them more compact, thus letting me see more tabs. This CSS can be placed in the TST addon preferences under the "Advanced" section.

/* Compact tab layout */
:root { --tab-height: 20px !important; }
.tab { height: 20px !important; }
/* Shrink space between pinned tabs and tab bar, only when pins are present */
#tabbar[style*="margin"] { margin-top: 20px !important; }

/* Show title of unread tabs with red font */
.tab.unread .label {
color: red !important;
}

/* Add private browsing indicator per tab */
.tab.private-browsing .label:before {
content: " ";
}

I highly recommend this addon, and it's a major differentiator for me between Firefox and Chrome.

A followup: I just came across a study of the extent to which Americans radically underestimate black/white economic difference: https://insights.som.yale.edu/insights/how-fair-is-american-...

A particularly striking example is around perceptions of wealth. In asking about wealth, they ask how much the average black household has if for every $100 the average white household has. The average answer was $85; the reality, $5.

It's easy to think white privilege doesn't exist if one focuses, as here, only on the white experience. But both currently and historically, there are huge differences that aren't much talked about. For those up for a read, I recommend Loewen's Sundown Towns: https://www.amazon.com/Sundown-Towns-Hidden-Dimension-Americ...

It covered a lot of history I was unaware of.
It does appear to use a linear regular though, which is always a mixed bag from a heat generation perspective as a primary power supply.

The parent did not back their assertions about “what is at the core of those movements” with any polling. If my claim is inappropriate, than so is the one it’s responding to.

There is sort of a semantic game here: I would call those with more moderate/mainstream stances “liberal” and not include their views in a characterization of what “social justice warrior” means. The same way you draw a distinction between anyone right of center and a “right-wing nut.”
If you install the new version of the addon, it (should) pop up a little help message telling you how to hide the existing tab bar. Basically (as I detail in my other comment) you need to edit a file in the user profile directory. Sadly, the Mozilla team hasn't gotten around to adding a real setting for this yet (although there are plans to).

"Microcensus"... Other sources state >50% smokers (not just heavy ones)
The number of people eligible for Medicare and the level of benefits it pays out are basically entirely independent from how many rolls of adhesive tape 3M sells. If they sell twice as much tape, so that the same percentage of their profits is twice as much money, you don't inherently have to expand Medicare in order to spend all the additional money (and then some). But they did.

The size of government does not inherently need to scale linearly with the size of the economy. The cost of some services may scale with population, but that's something else entirely. For example, general productivity improvements may grow the economy at the same population level, but they imply needing fewer resources to achieve the same level of government services because the same productivity improvements should make the provision of government services more efficient too.

And not all government services even need to scale with population. If we had twice as many citizens, would that really require us to double the military budget?

"Government programs expand to consume all available funding" explains why the government budget does expand with the economy, not why it should.
Interesting... I'm pretty sure I hold a golf club right handed, but I didn't play much and it was a long time ago so I'm not sure, but I used to play with a friend who was definitely left handed, and he was different to me and everyone else in this respect. I play guitar right handed as well. I've described myself as ambidextrous before, but that's probably incorrect, but it raises the question for me, if that means "equally adapted" how much of that translates into real world activities?
Could someone please explain this? What is going on? Either you hack a domain or you don’t—but once the owner finds out, shouldn’t they be able to verify that it’s locked down.

I don't want privacy controls, I want complete control.

I'm stoked about the Librem 5 project, and I hope it succeeds enough to not disappear in a couple years. I just bought a phone, but I'll likely buy the next rev if the first one works out. I don't need much from my phone, and as long as I can make/receive calls/texts, browse the web, and can get consistent security patches from the community (e.g. some Linux distro supports the platform outside of Purism), I'm happy.

Android and iOS already support privacy controls (and root to an extent), but you're usually at the mercy of the manufacturer for updates and have to trust them to not remotely access your phone. And many manufacturers just stop sending updates once their new model is out, which is unacceptable for most people for laptops and desktops, so I don't know why it's tolerated on phones and tablets...
A tour of elementary OS, perhaps the Linux world’s best hope for the mainstream
Sorry for the confusion, I see mentioning Chromium by name made my comment a bit misleading. I was responding to the parent comment (not to the original post) and using Chromium as an example of how it's unrealistic to ask users to fix things themselves when using OSS. I was not trying to comment on Google's decision on this particular issue here (though I have mild thoughts on that too).
Yeah, and Linux's insistence on not having a stable ABI for drivers is problematic for Nvidia, just as Nvidia's insistence on not open sourcing their drivers is problematic for Linux.
I use OSX.

Projects: I have a Shared folder on ~ which has bidirectional sync with my desktop (with Resilio[1]). Inside that folder are my current projects. The old ones, are on private git repos (the codebase) and on backblaze (full replicated production project, with rclone[2]). I use Resilio because its fast, reliable and it supports ignore patters (eg node_modules)

Dotfiles: For syncing my dotfiles, ssh keys and app settings across my machines I use Mackup[3]. Life saving tool. My macbook has the exact same settings as my desktop and vice versa. I keep all my settings in a Dropbox folder and they are symlinked automatically on the machine.

General: I have 3 subfolders on Downloads. Chrome, Attachments and Torrents. Each one is self explanatory. I like my downloads to be organized, because I clean them up occasionally. I use Desktop as a temp area, therefore I don't have permanent files there. All my documents (financial, reports etc) are on Dropbox organized by year.

The switches being good at ARP and bad at an alternative isn't down to technical merits, it's down to which one existed first.

And it sounds like turning the intelligent feature off and treating the packets as pure broadcast, just like ARP packets, would have fixed the problem. If the switch can't do that in the right way, it's not the protocol's fault.

Would it? The press likes to jump on surprising news, and if everything is upfront, there's not much to report on. They could even make a way to opt out if people complain (and few would actually opt out), which would save face in the media.

I don't use Facebook because I value my privacy, and I'd probably have less success convincing people to leave the platform if they were upfront about the stuff they do. People care a lot less about their privacy than PR firms seem to realize...

That's pretty close to how I do things and I've tended to view the dichotomy similarly. To add to the comment, when batting I'm more comfortable right handed and when kicking I prefer my right foot. I've also grown accustomed to using scissors and mice right handed out of necessity (though one might also argue that scissors frequently involve power). What's odd to me is that I often don't know which hand I'm going to prefer for a task until I try it.

Reading this thread, it's interesting to see that this may actually reasonably common. I don't think I've met anyone else who works this way before, and I realize that this sub-thread is rather self-selecting. Still, it's an existence proof that there's more than one of us.
