Its definatly not the installation. Its simply that linux is not a competetive offer - yes, even for free.

My mum got linux pre installed on a laptop. She was not happy. As in- her software did not run, the user-experience she had was worthless and it all boiled down to reducing a laptop to a doorstopper. So off it went, and windows 10 came back.

Maybe, just maybe, making a good desktop is really hard and microsoft set the standards, that all those amateurs cant adhere too. And thats why they get away with it.
If my employer pulled such a palpable show of arrogance someday, you can bet I'd have quit before sundown.

I know it'll probably take you half a year to fill my position, while I'll happily be working somewhere else within the week.

Though from what I gleamed of your personality from your comments, it's likely you wouldn't have managed to get me on board in the first place.

Also did you ever consider that some of your employees/contractors may be running their own companies/business when they're not working at yours?

Do you really think they value your business above theirs?

And even if they don't, do you think they value your company above their family/friends/life?

Do you think your attitude even has a chance of inspiring different priorities? I highly doubt it.

Your company sounds like a terrible place to work.

Other than it being funny, no it means nothing.
Yes, but that's not necessarily bad. You want a model that effectively captures the structure present in your dataset. There are currently only rules-of-thumb in model architecture, and it makes sense to explore the model space to determine which architecture and hyper parameters are suitable to the needs at hand. Two things save this from being a statistical sin: one, the final evaluation set is typically different than the validation set, and evaluation is only performed at the end of the 'fishing expedition', thus providing a reliable measure of the model's ability to generalize. Second, we're doing engineering here, not science, and our goal is to capture the structure of observations and not make a scientific claim about values of latent parameters.
Does any of these redirections matter? Does anyone ever just spontaniously visit somedomain.dev anyway? You google w3school and go to the top result, right?
I feel like you're missing the circular logic of your argument. The laws are crazy because banks will not self regulate. They openly allow illicit funds, so rules need to be applied to stem the source.

None is blaming them for accepting funds from anyone that they come across, but there should be no confusion as to why the rules exist: because the banks will indiscriminately allow the transfer of funds from illegitimate sources.

With that in mind, the rules are crazy, because the banks don't care.
Thats literally what Tesla is saying you should do.

Yes, I agree.

At a minimum, I think it would be a big business model change. If they just exploited this particular bit of information, it would be a small financial gain with a big loss of trust. To make it worthwhile, they'd have to find ways to monetize tons of user data, at the expense of a lot of trust.

This tweet is the exact reason I choose to live in the UK, and not the US, when it came to pursuing my career in financial services.

I do not believe that the US approach—in many sectors, but particularly in finance—of putting your career before your family life is a good use of the unknown and limited time we have on this planet.

That said, I am an entrepreneur, and the buck stops with me, so if I need to work weekends than I will juggle that obligation while still being there for my son.

Part of my reason for this approach is based on what my father once told me, that in life you'll juggle a lot of important balls, your career ball, your family ball, your health ball etc. The gist was, life is a juggling act, but his final word on it was something along the lines of, "Your family ball is made of glass, and if you drop it, it could shatter so much that you will never be able to piece it together again."

Obviously what is happening in an employee's life will have an impact on their work life. Saying things like, "if you miss your KPIs than you're fired" isn't going to motivate your staff, especially the ones who need to up their performance. Firing people who don't perform creates a situation where staff members will live under fear and that doesn't usually create great customer experiences.

And this leads to another point, if you are a good leader, you should never be in a position where you need to remind people that they need to work weekends if they are behind or they will get fired. He’s the CEO, the buck stops with him. If he communicated the problem they are solving, the company’s mission, and put in the right culture, hired the right people, you don’t need to say such things.

IMHO a good ‘Culture’ would have the following values:

1. Spartan Wall – We win the battle for our customers by protecting/taking care of each other.

2. Obsessive Customer Empathy – We are our customers’ biggest advocate.

3. Unfiltered Brutal Truth – Feelings, rank, politics NEVER have priority over truth and what’s right.

4. Proactive Problem Solving – When we hit problems, we do not put our hands up, we find a solution.

5. Laser Focus – We only keep to the problem and the mission.

6. One Destination, Autonomously – While we work loosely together, we all have the same mission and we are all in it together.

I bet you all the money in the word Nikolay Storonsky—the CEO of Revolut—doesn’t actually understand that a CEO’s job is to create the environment to find, motivate and retain people who are focused on the problem the company is solving, believe in the company’s mission, and are a fit for the company’s culture. IMHO venture success is the result of building an organisation that does this.

I wish Revolut all the luck in the world but the fish rots from the head!

I think there is a lot of value in stoicism, but it never really worked for me, because accepting things aren’t my thing.

Instead I prefer the Socratic approach to issues, where you actually try and discover solutions together. I know stoics took a lot of lessons from Socrates, and that you can’t be Socratic without a tad of stoicism, but I’ve also found asking questions to be better (for me) than letting things slide.

Like with the cab-driver taking the long route. Sure you can let it slide, but I’ve never had politely asking about it break my tranquility.
For any other state machine nuts such as myself, you won't want to miss their paper on tagged DFAs: http://re2c.org/2017_trofimovich_tagged_deterministic_finite... It is a somewhat recent follow on from Laurikari's 2000 paper and Kuklewicz 2007 paper on the same topic. Specifically, tagged DFAs let you do submatch extraction via the DFA itself. Other finite state machine regex libraries either don't do this at all, or fall back to slower engines in the general case (such as RE2). I think the downside of tagged DFAs is that they can be quite large!

Are you getting at the distinction between "will" being the T and "will" being the daughter of T? Regardless, under either analysis "will" would have just as much claim to being a tense as "run" has to being a verb. You can still argue over wheather there is a syntactic feature of future tense (which is a different question) which I have never seen a solid arguement for either way.

A major component of the homeless issue was Supreme Court decisions making it extremely difficult to involuntarily commit mentally ill people into residential treatment and compel taking of medication for their conditions. A good summary can be found at https://mentalillnesspolicy.org/ivc/involuntary-commitment-c...

This has led to a spiral self-medicating with alcohol and illegal drugs and of dealing with the mentally ill through the criminal infrastructure or through rampant homelessness.

There are other drivers of course, but I believe the vast majority can be traced to the inability of the state to force treatment on those who are obviously ill.

The article says wraps up by stating the design hasn't lost any information but where's the fork count, watch count and other download options? Also, the lack of borders and flattening of button styles does not improve the design. Borders are even more necessary when data density is increased. Buttons, menus and links now have a variety of borders where they were consistent before.

The menu is marginally better but the extra density there makes the options run together, especially as counts increase, and lacks room for feature expansion. The grey background is useful also as it gives the page sections depth and context without having to label it. A all white background with various text sizes and lengths is not optimal for supporting more than the example design and projects using more text or with longer titles will suffer.

This design doesn't take into consideration how the homepage of a repo relates to the subpages of a repo. The article mentions showing more files yet the in the current design, file view one click away from the current homepage removes most of the account meta data and shows more files already.

This design also doesn't consider the logged out view which has a large call to action banner to get an account strategically embedded at the top of the code tab. This focal point is somewhat lost in the presented redesign and would likely require rounds of A/B testing to decide on a new content breakpoint for this business need.

Eh, I rarely use a VPN, and if I feel the need, I try to get by with Tor.

However, I generally trust ProtonVPN. I like their email service, and their VPN works reasonably well and is bundled with that service, so I think it does a decent job.
BMI is a poor indicator of health and and even poorer indicator of whether one takes care of themselves. In the US, unhealthy food is abundant and strongly advertised. Much of the country is sprawl where the only way to really get around is by car. People are more stressed and work longer hours & don't have the time to cook for themselves or exercise. The US lacks universal healthcare, some people live in food deserts where healthy food is not accessible, etc. The United States has such terrible infrastructure and social programs that it's unfair to pin people's poor health entirely on their own decisions
As logical as your request is, I feel like it is basically an impossible ask. Any ROM with a sufficiently large community to support a large number of devices will also have contributers who want to add their favorite feature. And how will you say no to key device maintainers?

But the fundamental lesson is that the cab driver's behaviour is not under your control. How you react to it, is. You might then decide to let it slide, or mention it, or even make a fuss about it - but you deploy the anger instrumentally by your volition; you are not consumed and controlled by your anger.
Part of w3schools' bad reputation comes from intentionally failing to disavow itself from the W3C (w3.org) while providing commercial certifications. The W3C asked them to clarify this non-affiliation several times and it seems the only thing that ever came from it is one sentence on the About page.

Seeing that many developers (including experienced professionals) thought the two entities were related, it seems obvious that they directly benefited from that confusion. Luckily this seems less relevant now that WHAT WG exists separately from W3C and ECMA/TC39 is more prominent.

What do you mean? Their bandwidth charges currently would be considered egregious for even a medium sized company. Someone the size of Amazon has obviously negotiated far, far lower peering rates than that. The only reason their outbound prices are so high is to keep people from getting out in a cost effective manner. They want to make customers think long and hard before leaving.

Why? Why is it absurd?

You are thinking at human scales, and that is understandable, but Google doesn't think at human scales and it's only "absurd" if you think that Google has the inalienable right to the smallest possible cost of goods sold, even if that means offloading their externalities onto everyone else.

It is probably obvious that I do not. You shouldn't, either.

At Google's scale, trained-but-unskilled workers are not expensive. They are not cheap, but they are not expensive. And Google makes a lot of money. This is a common throughline from large societally-threatening, socialize-our-externalities-but-never-our-profits companies from Facebook to Google: "doing something correctly, or even trying to, would just cost too much money, so we should continue our societal-termite ways!" Until these unwatched monsters--and that is, I stress, the default state of the corporation, it is only the threat of the society that grants them their charter taking it away that adds even a speck of decency to them--prove, prove, that they somehow just can't survive by reducing incomprehensible net revenues to merely gigantic, then I will continue to operate on the understanding that they don't want to. Which I tend to think is a much, much more realistic thing.

I don't care. They fix their product or YouTube delenda est. Either is preferable to the current situation.
The trouble is this helps sustain the ad delivery ecosystem. Simply blocking ads does more to effect change.

Just look at the total-cost-of-ownership. As long as I can afford the down payment and I can afford the monthly payment then I just want to reduce the total-cost-of-ownership for the car I want. In other words I want the dealer to optimise for that variable and as long as they meet my constraint for affording the down and monthly payments then I don't care how those vary as long as the optimisation goal is met.

Line itemisation is very silly for cars. All I need to know is how much does it cost me to get the car. I don't care that some of that money goes to person A and some of it to person B. Irrelevant to me!
> "is-to-see" is not a contiguous unit

You can insert stuff between "is" and "to-see" (and between "to" and "see", I hope you agree) because English mostly parses into left-branching trees, which is the only reason why you can't insert stuff between "see" and "-ing". Natural languages don't liberally mix left-branching structures and right-branching ones because they're hard for people to understand. E.g. Pinker's "The rapidity that the motion that the wing that the hummingbird has has has is remarkable" is grammatically correct but not easily understandable. The contiguity or lack of it operates on a different conceptual plane to whether a "word" can be inflected or not.

> loose analogy

To take some example language from your reply, some people speak this as two words, others (e.g. some Americans) as a compound word. Because the concept of a word is not well defined, the boundary between morphology and syntax is blurred. Putting "is" and "to" noncontiguously before a verb is the same as putting "-ed" after a verb. They are both "inflections".
I hope GitHub stakeholders will never read that article. It's full of nonsense. The author doesn't know what he's talking about in this particular case.

I hate those designers who try to "fresh up" things every single month. Is it because they cannot create something valuable?

There is already adblock and ublock.

This is preventing the ad campaigns from building a database about your personal preferences, building a profile on you. Also this way the advertisers are spending even more money, by paying for those clicks. If the goal is to make advertisement cost more or provide some sort of political statement, then this is surely more effective. (Regardless of whether the goal is really that great.)
