Assuming all else to be equal (UX, functionality, etc), people will absolutely gravitate towards the [5MB storage, 20MB RAM, 0.5% CPU] combination to electron's [300MB storage, 200MB RAM, 5% CPU], especially when they are running multiple such programs.

But, what electron offers is getting from zero to product across all desktop OS-es in arguably the least time possible. So, the real choice is between [PRODUCT_NO_SHIP] to [300MB storage, 200MB RAM, 5% CPU], and we all know what the world chose.
Pair programming, live coding sessions and study sessions. When we start implementing something we define the definition of done and the acceptance criteria. When the code passes linting and meets the acceptance criteria it is accepted. If it doesn't then it's clear why not. There is no such thing as a commit needs improvement. It either passes or fails based on the above.

I meant multi finger gestures, similar to the touchpad.

If you hit anywhere on the Touch Bar (or maybe left/right side) with two fingers and drag, you could map to volume/brightness.

When you press the wrong key and drag, the buttons disappear and you have to wait a moment for it to clear, difficult UX if you aren’t looking.

> U.S. based businesses may actually be exempt based upon some interpretation of Article 3.2(a):
The benefit to the nefarious buyer is not the same as the damage to the hotel guest. In fact, there's no reason to even expect them to be similar in value. And the relevant measure of central tendency is the mean, not the median, since we're looking at the sum of all the damages from all the records being copied. Keeping one gay Egyptian dude from getting outed and killed justifies protecting hundreds or thousands of boring middle-class vacationers from Ohio.

Nuclear trains sound pointless. Unlike ships, you can power trains with catenaries.
It's hard to get a raging party together on Tuesday. At least with the current calendar, every few years I can have a party on my actual birthday. With the modified calendar, I'd always have my party before of after my real birthday.

Also, relatedly and less personal, holidays like July 4th would always be on a Wednesday, which is a terrible day to have a statutory holiday. There is a reason that the holidays that are defined by their day of the week always fall on Monday or Friday (with Thanksgiving being the exception, but the Friday following is almost always a holiday for most people).
As someone who went through RCS, CSV, SVN, ClearCase, and some others... no, not really. Git just does a great job of taking things that are simple in every other VC and making them hard to understand. Git is powerful, but it's completely user unfriendly.
Free speech has the same issue as data security or privacy have. For most people it does not feel to be a problem in their daily lifes so the active players can push for whatever is the most profitable option.
> But, there is an important limitation. Article 30 requires people/businesses processing personal data to keep records of their processing activities and categories and to make those records available upon request. If your business employs fewer than 250 people, you do not have to create these records unless there could be a risk to the ‘rights and freedoms of data subjects (including trade secrets or intellectual property rights), the processing is not occasional, or your business processes any ‘special categories’ of data as referred to in Article 9(1) (personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, and genetic data or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation, or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences referred to in Article 10.)

It's a line from an old country song and it's a joke about the fact that AZ has no coastline.

Usually it's used to imply something is obviously false and impossible. While there is no song about a train from NYC to Paris the similarity should be obvious.

rsync --progress isn't very good, which is why I worded it that way.

If you use rsync --partial it has to rescan the source and destination directories again. All it does is let you resume transfers, and for some of us, transfers are not the slow part.

You'd be buying PC games as a homeless person?

The reason regional pricing makes sense is that costs for most things are lower in other regions, like rent and food, and therefore so are the salaries. That would mean a $60 game can cost as much as half a month's rent.

Do you know of any resources where I can learn more about forming good hypotheses and methodical way of testing? Maybe books or online courses, or is this sort of knowledge only learned through experience?
> Also MS reached into the cloud thanks to Nadella, not tanks to Ballmer.

So if Microsoft fails in one market segment it's his fault, but if Microsoft succeeds, it's solely the success of the people doing the work?

That's not how it works when you're CEO. You might have a point if Nadella pushed for cloud against Ballmer, but that wasn't the case. To the contrary. In any event, Ballmer ultimately called those shots, not Nadella. That's his job as a CEO.

I think you read my assumption correctly — I believe the court has generally given, not gained, ground on matters of liberty. It's especially on those "other principles" you mention that we disagree most, and that probably explains our disagreement on the point at hand. I don't think either of us would gain from extending the disagreement here.

If you actually work through the game theory, you find that single-winner instant-runoff voting is nearly as vulnerable to Duverger’s Law of two-party domination as plurality voting.

https://www.electionscience.org/voting-methods/runoff-electi...

There are much better single-winner systems available: see approval voting, score voting, and Condorcet voting. But if you want a legislature with proportional representation, you really need a system with multi-representative districts.

But some folk already have decent pd-usb3 chargers that damn well ought to work.

Mine, that can charge my gpd pocket can barely power my pi4.

I still see the yellow lightening bolt which indicates a "poor" power supply - which is just plain lying.
I deduced it from your statement you lying faggot
Would be nice if they at least had a code on them to know what the compatibility is, such AV means the port is audio and video compatible, AVP would mean the former plus you can use it to charge or power a device. The same codes could be used on the cables as well.
Interesting that two major-ish companies sell products that are out of spec (rpi and Nintendo). Is there any insight on why these decisions were made? Business and engineering opinions would be equally interesting.
There's always a risk/reward going on being an early adopter, in this case it's far from the worst though. It's a 35$ purchase, and at worst you have to get a new cable.
Regarding fixed precision neural networks, it looks like Intel had some fairly mature work on this at ISCA -- fast inference, but have to train elsewhere in the machine:

Like most decisions in education, it's the question of what you want to optimize for, minimum, average, or maximum success. That dictates whether you want to separate smart pupils from average pupils, how big your classes should be, how much memorization you require, how much autonomy teachers should have, and many more aspects. The PISA studies provide really interesting data on this.
Not much? A few degrees warmer here or there, and a few feet increase in sea level? And that's in ~100 years.

Carbon taxes end up being a regressive tax on the poor (not entirely, but marginally), especially given that poorer folks are often forced to commute longer distances and live in less well insulated and modernized homes.

An approach that focuses on decreasing the price of clean technology, rather than one that just raises the price of dirtier tech and assumes later rebalancing would be a much more effective approach, with possibly still having carbon taxes for corporations, but not individuals.
This doesn't surprise me at all. I use to work in a place where your work output was constantly monitored and graded. If you have vacation time banked up and took too much time off in one year, it negatively affected your ranking. Too much vacation time coupled with maternity and sick leave? Management will label you a "low performer" and they'll start looking for excuses to replace you for your "lack of commitment"
Not really in my experience. I live in a country that buys old cars from the rich. We have many "ohh, my lungs" cars here.

The same with appliances. People are too poor to buy A+++ electronics.

Yes, but even so, the (fictional) RoI on the start money is a few orders of magnitude. Which is not quite ordinary.

Train infrastructure in France is not premium anymore, like our health system.
Sure if you compare to North America like Canada, it is still better. I took the Via rail train in Canada last year from Toronto to Montreal, seats were spacious, good catering, but the journey was long and trains outdated. As for the price it was not crazy expensive but not cheap.

The high speed train in France (TGV) is really expensive if you cannot get any discount compared to flights. I live near Nice in France and leaving my car in the airport parking lots is often more expensive than the flights themselves, even for 3 days !
For instance a one-way flight from Lille to Nice with Easyjet (around 900km) can cost only 60 Euros, it can be 100Euros back and forth.
Also trains in France are more subject to strikes and delays. Well any mean of transportation in France is subject to strikes but the occurrence is greater with trains.

Again the French government thinks that creating a French tax will pave the road to an European one. I highly doubt so. French airports and airlines will suffer from it compared to their European equivalent, and if an European tax is created, it won't probably make the French tax disappear. France loves taxes, we see the results.

Again
Just buy the official power supply instead of "finding" random junk.
They were informed of the issue, proposed a quick fix, were told why the quick fix wasn't adequate, then went through with it anyway. That doesn't really inspire confidence in a company's security, especially not when their PR response to a potential threat is "we have no indication that this has ever happened"
I ended up cancelling my pre-order from Element 14, you could potentially do the same depending on who you ordered from. I didn't cancel because of this, but just because I got really busy with work and I know it'll be a few months before I get to pull it out of the drawer. Better to let someone else have it to use than take a pre-order spot for my desk drawer.

I think the problem is that funding probably comes from Redhat and/or FSF. One of those is interested in business uses and the other doesn't have a lot of money.

I'm starting to think everyone who can write code should try to contribute what effort they can to an open source project. I'm starting to see how a lot of small individual contributions add up over time. A project still needs a good maintainer and vision though, and that's a lot of work for someone.
Ideally bringing the old bottle somewhere to get it refilled.
Certainly a (bad) trade-off, but I wouldn't classify it as UX. It's more of a safety vs sales trade-off.

Quoting the Emacs web site:

"To improve the use of proprietary systems is a misguided goal. Our aim, rather, is to eliminate them. We include support for some proprietary systems in GNU Emacs in the hope that running Emacs on them will give users a taste of freedom and thus lead them to free themselves."
So I've been thinking about this scenario. Tell me this - say you have a mix of files of different sizes. Would you expect the program to try and pack as much files onto each drive (to maximize per-disk use) or copying files in order and switching disks when the next file doesn't fit is OK?

If it's the latter, I think I might be able to cook up something command-line for this sort of case. This is still a very niche scenario, but you aren't the first one to ask about it.

During the initial stages of the invasion of Afghanistan, the US would pay the ANA, just like everyone else, with cash and checks. However, it was soon discovered that the officers were the ones handing out the money. As could be expected, there was a lot of corruption and grift going on, and the grunts weren't getting their pay. Desertion rates went up by a lot. Eventually, the US figured out that you could pay the soliders in phone credits that they could redeem at 7-11 and the like. That went well for a little while, until the officers confiscated all the phones.

Which, actually, went a lot better. A lot of the common soliders would call up their relatives when they went on patrol or a mission so that their relatives knew to either stay away or come around later. A lot of relatives ended up being in the Taliban. As such, OpSec was a lot easier.

Vice news has a mini-docu on this a few years back, but I can't seem to find it online right now.

Point is, bad actors aren't sitting in cyberspace and aren't without authority. Money that you can't hold in your hands or bury in a tin can is worthless if the system you are in is corrupt. I'll wager that Libra is not going to be well adopted people in corrupt police jurisdictions.
If consumer drove business decisions, we‘d still have no seat belts and the ozone layer would not exist anymore because of CFC.

In some ways, consumers can make a difference, but only to serve as a trigger for political decisions (if we get lucky).

Also in your example, what comes first – the consumer’s choice or the carbon tax?
I appreciate the conversation but don’t have the bandwidth to engage your points. If you’d like to explore the research, check out the resources I mentioned. It’s possible you’ll arrive at a different opinions... different from mine but also maybe different from your current ones.

> Your "piped tar" doesn't cover the main use case of rsync, which is (unsurprisingly), remote file hierarchy sync'ing.

That's exactly my point, isn't it? rsync does several different things, depending on how you invoke it, rather than being a UNIXy tool that does one thing well. Because the single tool does everything, you can't easily swap out different parts of it, and the single tool takes a hundred options.
Presumably the development costs and overhead costs are factored in along with a projected number of sold units to come up with a baseline 'cost' of each copy being sold. Selling a copy for less than this 'cost' would be selling it at a loss. Selling a copy for more than this 'cost' would be selling for a profit. Being obtuse and insisting that you can't sell software at a loss because of the marginal costs is not furthering the conversation at all, it's just being pedantic.
Yep but everyone in this community should know the answer there, we aren't perfect, we don't think about everything and we make mistakes. Then you fix them.

Too many people are just piling on without examining themselves and their own work.
Dr. Margaret Hamilton coined the term while developing the software for Apollo 11. She went on to design a system that permitted bug-free software development ("Higher Order Software" or HOS) and attempted to market it. It was panned by e.g. the Navy and Dijkstra, and languishes in obscurity to this day.

The basic details of the system are described in a book called "System design from provably correct constructs: the beginnings of true software engineering" by James Martin (he mentions Hamilton in the references.)

In modern terms you work directly with an AST and the UI only permits modifications by operations that preserve the correctness of the AST. It eliminates all sources of bugs, and it was simple enough to teach normal people to use it with just some coaching.

Anyhow, that's "software engineering". The rest of us are just pushing text around in buffers and hoping it isn't broken. There are a few people using math to make software, and it works out really well (E.g. https://www.categoricaldata.net/), but mostly "software engineering" as it is usually used is an oxymoron.
So you're thinking somewhere between the Magnises card by Billy McFarland (Fyre Festival dude), Soho House, and upper-tier retail banking...that's all 100% instagramable?

I think you're on to something. I wouldn't be surprised if Soho House or other private clubs work with retail banks towards something like this.

One time, long ago, I had money once, and I was a member of HSBC Premier. It allowed to me to cut lines at the bank, have a small lounge area, and get free coffee. But that's about it. I don't think it would cost them too much to sign a deal with Soho House or WeWork or something like that, and offer tickets to see Beyonce at some private concert or something like that.

There could be market for something like that.
