You might be right and maybe there is some bias in the projects which I chose to think of. Certainly there are many projects that don't require the same amount of thought from day one.

What I'm referring to in my previous comment is when people underestimate the complexity added by the easy and quick solution today vs the high cost over time. Specially in critical projects.

What does your comment even mean? "Here's 50 foods that reduce impact and feed more people"

"STOP OPPRESSING ME!"

Really? Like, if you don't think these foods are worth your time, maybe just do your own thing? These foods are already widely eaten by a whole range of people, cultures, and socieconomic statuses.
Coming from C# background, Using Typescript for front-end programming was a breeze for me. This helped me in picking up newer frameworks and saved countless hours during debugging and build time errors. I liked strict validation of props using interfaces while working with restful APIs.
LoL, the questions people propose on this site.
William Gibson portrayed this in Neuromancer in 1984, although it seemed like it was some sort of international force operated by the future equivalent of the UN, or maybe some kind of Interpol with dedicated investigators.
Bananas are an example of a local single-crop bet, and they are hedged by planting different crops elsewhere. There certainly is a desire to reduce variety, but it's likely to come down to a few dozen plants (out of thousands, and for each one, there have been hundreds of variations and sub-types), not to a single one - too risky, and regional conditions are too different to have a one-size-fits-all-crop.
This article reinforces my view even more. We as a society needs to allow people to end their life in a medical environment and only if they're capable of making the decision on their own in a rational manner. I've witnessed horrible situations where the life is not going to improve and is intolerable for the victim who wants an exit even if it means death. Why do we allow our own selfish desires to have these people continue in pain and when the other person wants death.
I'm more than happy to send a thank you email... in response to one. Responding in kind is reasonable enough - social pleasantries exchanged between those who want them, skipped for the busy who would rather get down to business.

If that disqualifies me from some jobs, that's a feature. Uneven expectations here comes across as demanding respect while showing none, which speaks poorly of the work environment. Hard pass.

It's a default for me now, on every new project. It doesn't slow down development because TypeScript allows you to easily "step down" type constraints as desired, and writing nontrivial code without any kind of type hints is just unimaginable to me now.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone can write a JCL from scratch. A new JCL is always copied from an existing one and the gets modified. The first couple of lines of a JCL are particularly scary if I recollect properly.

Is there really an example that would prove that this ever happens? Aren't patents usually just clever ways of doing things, not necessarily decisions about the exact dimensions/contacts/voltages/etc. All other manufacturers could easily just take patents and make their own standards based on them?

Another factor is the density of England vs France; Birmingham is virtually halfway between London and Manchester, both are a fair bit closer to London than Lyon. London is a huge leech pulling economic activity out of the rest of England, and HS2 will make it worse.

As a counter annecdote, I can't stand Apple TV. The user interface is a disaster compared to Roku and the remote made me want to throw it against the wall everytime I used it.

I bought a TCL Roku TV as a secondary TV. It is fast, the interface makes sense and the apps are easier to navigate because the remote actually has a variety of buttons which can be used. The remote also doesn't change the channel or cause inputs on the TV to switch because someone accidentally grazed it.

Based upon my experience with the Roku TV I replaced the Apple TV on my main TV with a Roku Premiere + and sold the Apple TV on eBay for over twice what I paid for the Roku box. My TV viewing experience is much more enjoyable. As an added bonus when I have house guests they can actually figure out how to use the TV without a 30 minute training session.

There are very few rules in getting hired. A few are:

1. First class people hire first class people.

2. Second class people hire third class people.

3. People like to hire people similar to themselves.

4. Not getting a job does not really say anything about you, but the guy they hired says a lot about the company.

PS:

5. Most companies, when offered unexperienced talent and an experienced idiot, will hire the experienced idiot. Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM and he had the experience on his resume.
If Capitalism is ownership and control by individuals, and socialism is ownership and control by workers (but not via their collective will as expressed through democratically-determiend state action), then what is Norway?

I guess if you define "socialism" in a sufficiently narrow way you can ensure that no existent successful country will meet the chosen definition, a clever rhetorical trick.
Representative democracy, independent institutions (courts, central banks, etc), the rule of law, the constitution, international treaties, human rights, crime/rioting/revolution, and most of all the truth are all "mechanics" that put a break on making every single issue a simple popularity contest.

But when I said that I didn't want to rely on average voters' risk percpetion, I didn't actually mean any of that. I merely meant that I don't rely on it to form my own opinion (which is definitely not subject to a popularity contest).

I don't want to convince the people of Brussels of anything. I want to know the truth about the health effects of 5G, and I hope that our democracies are not too dysfunctional to let that truth inform any regulations.
I recently replaced my main 4k 28” monitor with a 2k 13” portable display, which is the same size/density as my laptop. Many people are surprised this is my main setup, but I can view all the windows I need active at once (using i3) and retain the exact setup whether I’m home or mobile.

One major factor for me was glare. There’s no way for me to position the 28” panel without a giant reflection unless I darken the entire room. With the smaller panels I can easily position both for zero reflection.

Now the 4k sits to the side for charts/monitoring, attached to a NUC.
Except we're specifically replying to a comment from someone claiming they could feel 5G.

I don't think that this sort of rant is useful.

In everyday life people understand that there are individuals they won't get on with. Not everyone is going to be your friend. You don't want to be everyone's friend (if you do, that's an ephemeral state that will likely bite you eventually).

When it comes to careers I often see expressed on here the attitude that somehow if the interview process were better; if the interviewer were different; etc; then it'd all be different, they'd get the job and live happily ever after.

Realistically? You'd end up working with a bunch of people who at best make questionable business decisions; at worst are completely opposed to your personality and make work a hellish place to be.

Maybe I'm missing something entirely and this is intended to be some bizarre sort of humour.
Since they started putting Rust in Firefox, it crashes literally hundreds of times a day. (Usually the crashes are in subprocesses. Not always.) Is Rust to blame? I don't know. But I would rather see some attention to the crashes than any new features, or new OSes, right at the moment.

Crypto Law Recap – March/April 2019
I've found it slower.

I gave up on multiple monitors because I can't carry them around with me and many times I like to work away from the desk.

As a result I'd find when I'm on the laptop, my work flow would deteriorate because I'm used to multiple windows rather than the alt tab sequence.

So I made the decision to only use a 15" screen for everything, heavily depending on alt tab.

As a result I've developed a muscle memory where there is zero thought alt tabbing to any window.

This keeps my eyes in the same place - which decreases the tracking/fatigue involved and less context switch.

However, using a second monitor does increase productivity when using a monitor behind the laptop for multiple log tails - mostly because 15" is not enough to show that data.
> Highly customizable, especially the desktop interface

That entirely depends on the desktop environment. I know GNOME 3 was very hard to tweak when it just came out. I always enjoyed GNOME 2 with Compiz though.

> A curated software catalog like mobile platforms

That has some things to iron out regarding the usability perspective. I removed some office apps from my xfce4 desktop, and Ubuntu also decided to remove other apps like xcfe4-session-logout, so I couldn't logout anymore. These things shouldn't happen.

My fresh xfce4 desktop always shows a "system error". Why? I don't know.

Years after years I tried Linux (Ubuntu actually, which I expect to be the most stable) desktop but it still is not polished. As a sysops/devops I know what to do, but the average user doesn't. But even then, I don't want to troubleshoot my desktop after I have just installed it.
>Pirating games has never been as unattractive as it has been today due to Steam's monopoly and ubiquity.

This is a cop out to me. I have never been a fan of DRM for this reason, because it requires an unassailable monopoly for customers not to notice that it's a problem. I am probably in the minority because I've never been happy with Steam's service because of this, but as long as they are the 800 pound gorilla in the room then they obviously never will listen to any of my complaints.

If you take this line of thinking to movies, it leads to dangerous ideas like "everyone but my favorite streaming service should just close down" which is totally ridiculous, but still when I talk to friends about this issue they are quick to propose that as the solution! It really makes me try to avoid contact with the digital publishing industry as much as possible. What we see now is the movie studios' response to that which is:

- To increase the size of the data dramatically (4K+ video) so that casual sharing requires hardware investment and thus remains difficult

- To make things highly dependent on a very specialized backend to work correctly (Netflix's recent experiment with branching narratives)

- To start bundling it with other things (Amazon Prime)

- To offer streaming analytics as a better data platform than the traditional Nielsen ratings

- And probably more I can't think of right now

The thing is that these are all real value adds which I am glad to see them competing on. Right now all the downstream vendors are forced to invest in rolling their own DRM. I would rather see copyright holders offering a system where a proof of purchase can be transferred between services, but they would need to band together to actually do it and start putting that into their contracts. Can you imagine if we had that instead of DRM?
I’m curious what deals were given to Eero engineers who survived the transition to Amazon, if any did. Did they get a better Amazon package than a random new-hire with their experience? I know of cases elsewhere where aqui-hires have gotten more options/units, shorter vesting, etc.
PC Gaming has really only accepted two major launchers: Steam and Blizzard. Blizzard's launcher is only majorly accepted in my group of friends as it's the only way for some of them to get their WoW fix.

Origin is actively avoided (to the point of avoiding EA's games completely), Ubisoft's Uplay will work with Steam, and Bethesda's launcher was immediately uninstalled after the debacle which was Fallout 76.

None of my friends (that will admit it, anyway) have the Epic launcher installed. They are all frustrated that games they're excited about ("The Outer Worlds" and "Borderlands 3") are timed exclusives on Epic's launcher.

Some of them are very hung up on the fact that Tencent owns a major stake in Epic Games (between 40%-50%). They have seen how China deals with games (WoW in China is the biggest one, game consoles not being legal in the county until recently) and the Internet (Great Firewall of China) and are in no way interested in allowing their software on the machine. Further, it has been observed that the Epic Launcher performs behaviors that behaviors they consider shady[1].

Personally, I won't play any games that are Epic Store exclusives. Not because I have any particular anger toward Epic (I've loved Unreal Tournament for a long time), but because I already have a large backlog of games on Steam, I'd like to keep everything in a single launcher, and by the time I have my backlog cleared, these games should be on Steam and a GOTY version will be out that has all of the DLC included, or if they're not, something else that I care about more will likely have come along.

I think sometimes the HR person just makes up a reason. It's counter-productive to read too much into it.

One time I was told I was great, but they needed someone with XYZ experience. It was very important.

They ended up hiring my friend, who had even less XYZ experience than I did.
Well sure - if nothing matters, it also doesn't matter we consume a lot of animal products and ruin our tiny planet as we used to know it.

If anything does matter, we should reduce our consumption and production of animal based products.
I'm referring to non-cartridge 'safety' razors though. I don't know a good way of referring to this class. Many of these are DE (double-edge), but there are some SE (single-edge) types as well. Razors which are not straight razors or cartridge razors.
I could name far more!

Cosmos? Planet Earth? Or what about the myriad of documentaries you can find? Or shows about history?

I suppose this also depends on if you think fiction betters you as a person (I don't think the medium you receive it in matters all that much; so I don't think you need to read a thick russian novel). If you don't; I guess I just fundamentally disagree with you, and in a way, I almost feel sad on your behalf. Almost all of human morals and values, not to mention deep life lessons, have historically been taught through fiction. If you do, then obviously there's a lot of EXCELLENT fiction on TV, shows like Breaking Bad, or Mad Men. Or recent shows like Barry. Those shows rival even large novels in the amount of time it takes to consume them and what they can say, and they even have the advantage of being able to take advantage of music and filmography to set moods and make points that books cannot (books of course also have their own set of advantage, I'm not trashing them)

If you run proprietary software on a computer, the proprietors have far more say in what that computer does than you do. This is true regardless of which proprietor is involved, the user's ostensible control over updates, and the ostensible high-level purpose of the software (an OS, an application, a word processor, a flight simulator, etc.). This particular proprietary software gives Microsoft a universal back door through which Microsoft can impose any change they wish (see http://www.informationweek.com/microsoft-updates-windows-wit... for an example).
Even if update control were respected in full, update control does nothing to change the fact that what's running is proprietary software -- user-subjugating software.

The frequency or UI of updates is a minor detail. It's the least the proprietor can get away with to give the simulacrum of user control. Microsoft has tried other means to do less but they were discovered and news reports effectively outed Microsoft (for instance, there's the time Microsoft had Windows send reports even when configured not to per http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/even-w...)

So rather than engaging in harsh language or threats of physical abuse, I think a more productive way to address your understandable frustration is to switch your remaining proprietary-driven computers to a fully free OS running on fully free hardware (such as an FSF-approved free software distro -- https://www.gnu.org/distros/ -- running on a "Respects Your Freedom" device -- https://www.fsf.org/ryf ) and then install only free software on top of that.
I’d suggest updating the blog because while it’s not super intuitive as you found out, everyone should know about moviesanywhere :D. It really makes me feel like we surpassed vhs vs betamax because once you connect all your accounts, you really have a ton of redundancy and it can help with platform lock-in.

It also completely flipped the piracy argument in my mind. If you’re consuming a new movie per month you’re basically at $20 a month in expenses to house a digital warehouse of movies. Keeping large libraries of pirated movies is not cheap, you’re powering a machine 24/7, etc. MoviesAnywhere removing lock-in and stuff like iTunes upgrading past purchases to 4K made me a “true believer” on what’s going on with digital movies

I've had similar sentiments, especially after enjoying life outside of the UK. Admittedly, part of that was supported by a London salary, although I could have lived on far less. The quality of life here, compared to other (even less well off) places is shockingly poor for how expensive it is, unless you're wealthy enough to avoid most of the problems (including the tax burden).

I'm fine with staying in the UK in the short term but I have huge misgivings about starting a family and raising kids here. If I were to do so, they'd be enjoying the things that most people here don't have the luxury of (private education, etc.).

The real value in the 24,000 patents is not being sued by another company that patented it first.
Why is this getting downvoted? This is factual information. Large funds cannot invest the same way that smaller ones can.

Also, NOBODY pays 1% for investment management anymore. You can open a brokerage account in the US and pay .08%(yes, from private investment companies) and get a very diversified portfolio using standardized funds.

I really don't see the benefits of a centralized pension...other than being able to offload payments to future generations, ofcourse.
To be fair, IBM has succeeded at big jobs too.

For instance, they developed software for the Apollo mission and the Space Shuttle. The IBM/360. The IBM PC. AS/400.
How far away are they? That's a lot of physical space to cover.

I use a single 40" 4K monitor (not a TV but only by lack of a tuner) and that's about 30" from my face most of the time. That's too big. I often neglect vertical space because it involves moving my neck.

But three of these things is over 8 foot of vertical space. That's ridiculous.
> The downside is every day you will feel like the poorest person in the area.

You can offset some of that though by being able to brag about in which neighborhood you live.

This line of thinking reminds me of a tip on gift giving: if you have fixed amount of money to spend, go for the category of items in which you can afford the best item (vs. spending the exact same amount on a cheap item from a more expensive category). E.g. an expensive scarf instead of cheap coffee machine. The reasoning is that the recipient will look at your gift relative to the category it belongs to, and not evaluate what else could be bought with the same amount of money.
