If OneNote would save in plain text and have a cross-platform gui I would use it (even if it's resource-sucking electron)
Jira is garbage. Its slow, clunky, and its UI doesn't lend itself to a providing users with a small learning curve. I'll take Asana over Jira because it's fast, simple, and has a low learning curve.
Born 1967, so talking 70's and back then, probably. Was an era of which people saved over credit (which was very hard to get), we had glass bottles that had deposits for recycling before plastic moved en masse and a car was a luxury item. Didn't have a phone as couldn't afford it and when we could, thanks to TV messages of hackers of doom taking over the planet and me owning a computer - my mum wasn't going to enable that. Oh and we walked to school and was rare for kids to be driven to school, indeed they had the piss taken out of them for being lazy by the other kids.

How times have changed - not all for the better.

[edit add] Oh and we had no central heating until my teens, and frozen ice inside the single window pains during winter(double glazing - luxury item then).
The drawers are exceptionally deep and when pulled out of the wall, extend through the mechanism into that extended part of the index chair.
As the comment states, that calculation is the change in real weekly earnings. "Real" being calculated using CPI-U. To reiterate, the purchasing power of the median weekly earnings for the 25-34 group is 17% higher now than it was in Q1 1996.
I think there's a selection bias here: people using RAID 5/6 may not be using ZFS as much because it's not well supported. I'd bet money that those levels are much more common in SOHO settings than RAID 10 is, because it's still the sweet spot for "I need lots of storage" vs "...and am willing to spend drive's worth of storage on availability". For instance, anyone using a NAS primarily as a backup target for desktops and small servers may love RAID 5, but be unwilling to throw money at a "better" RAID 10 setup.
Have I misunderstood what a desk is? 25 desk changes in 10 years is low?

Thank you for Golang and for defending its simplicity.
The enterprise provider that actually develops btrfs continues to support btrfs, and one enterprise provider that doesn't stopped supporting it.

People treat RH stopping support of btrfs as some sort of death knell for it. Meanwhile all the btrfs users are confused why RH's opinion should matter at all when they weren't that involved with developing it in the first place.

As an opensuse user, btrfs has saved multiple machines from botched updates by letting me revert to the snapshot from right before the update was applied (opensuse's update tool automatically takes snapshots before and after updates).
I thought this was well known. I wrote code to ingest Jumpshot data years ago. You have to wonder about the quality of the data though - maybe those using Avast aren't the best measure of all things web related.
There are more facts than opinions there and thus, I totally support what the author is proposing! But this doesn't mean the whole piece is written in a neutral tone.

Here is the paragraph which includes the author's opinion, initiated with a seemingly rhetorical question:

> Is Wirt really fighting anti-semitism, or could the DebConf20 organizers simply be afraid of any discussion that may deter wealthy Israeli sponsors? This doesn't suggest that Israelis have actually sought such influence, it is more of an indication of how easily some volunteers with official roles in Debian are bamboozled when anyone, whether it is an Israeli company or a Silicon Valley company, shows up with a fistful of cash.
Do you really believe what you are saying? You are mirroring the dehumanizing propaganda that the Israeli occupation regularly pushes in efforts to paint Palestinians as animals who would murder their own children to advance their agenda. The reality is that the Israeli military kill Palestinian children with precision weapons [1] and even with sniper rifles [2,3,4]. But you can just keep believing what you want to believe (or pushing what you are paid to push --- who knows these days).

Plus childcare and eldercare. Take those and the ones you mention into account, and GDP/person has probably dropped since the 1950s.

I actually dislike ensuite bathrooms for myself. Like that there is separation for sleeping and showering/bathrooms. The moisture from the bathroom comes to the bedroom. On guest rooms it's can be nice that the guests don't have go around the house when they want to use the bahtroom.

Optimally, I'd say a house should have one toilet on each floor, and at least two toilets and bathrooms.
That is just nonsense. Btrfs had well known and well published issues for years. And since when are the data of 20 somethings not important?
Hey, don't worry :-). Like I said, I'm open to the possibility that I've been doing it wrong this whole time, or that I worked on projects that kept hitting cornercases and their associated bugs. I'm glad that you didn't have to deal with any of the bad parts.
I recall that it had been written in the 1950s. My memory could be wrong. I read it some time in the early 1980s. Having aged a few decades since, and experiencing much comedy and fiction in that time, I have come to discover this must have been a common theme from whatever era it was written.

The details I recall from the story are: 1) boy gets a tooth filled with a new alloy. 2) Soon discovers he can tune into different radio stations but adjusting his jaw. 3) Proves this to his friends by telling them what's on which stations, which they verify by tuning the radio. 4) Looses the ability quickly (days, perhaps?) - can't recall if by re-visiting the dentist or some other reason.

I don't recall that the plot of Fat Men From Outer Space (remove all junk food) was involved - seems like it'd be a fairly large plot to miss, but I admit the human brain is a strange thing.

Declarative Infrastructure Is Broken
Worth noting that this is the whole purpose of the Soft Hyphen character:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_hyphen

the browser won’t display any glyph unless it breaks the word at that point. Alternatively, you don’t need to insert soft hyphens at all if you’re fine relying on the browser’s hyphenization dictionary for your language, and the CSS word-break property is set. The downside there is that sometimes the browser will get really aggressive and terminate nearly every line with a broken word, reducing legibility.

Yeah, I think open source nlp technology will eventually get good enough that replicating google search becomes easier. I’d give it five years before someone is nipping at their heals
My read of this is that you're free to continue to build and distribute your own binaries, but those won't be able to participate in the plugin ecosystem. The effect of this change depends on the value of the plugin service. I mean, it could be great. I certainly hope it's great for the Qt project.
When China/Iran/North Korea/government controls all the media that parents consume, "parental choice" also becomes merely an illusion.

I don’t want to get inti a huge debate here, but you’ve repeatedly talked about apartheid which is a highly inappropriate metaphor that often gets tossed around as if it’s somehow factual. There are Arab citizens of Israel, and they don’t have codified laws that require them to live separately from Jews, nor do you find signs that say “beware of Arabs” and other such hallmarks of apartheid. It’s a disservice to both the history of South Africa and Israel to use this term.

There are few places that don’t have geopolitical concerns for _someone_. I don’t think the community would be up in arms for a conference in the US, but plenty cannot come to the US (and it’s hardly not geopolitically controversial). I don’t think you’ll find many Armenian or Kurdish developers who want or could come to Turkey, for example. If you host in Palestinian territory, you won’t find many Israelis, Jews, gays, or other persecuted minorities able to attend that either.

I ask you to recognize that these things are complicated and multi-faceted, with a wide variety of “valid” viewpoints depending on who you are, and not worthy of such reductionism.

Native French here. One day I was in a place with 4 people from Québec speaking with each other. I could understand perfectly three of them, then it took me 15 minutes to understand the last one was speaking French too and not a foreign language. So, accent could vary quite a bit between region and people but most of the time it’s similar enough that there is no problem.
I mean, that Smoke Detector thing was pretty notable… although to be fair, I was inside Google at the time :-)
Hey, author here. Happy to answer any questions!
Guess everyone's experience is different.

We always had one bathroom for a family of five (5) growing up and, honestly, there was never an issue with it. Since it was always that way we learned from birth (practically) that you can't hog the bathroom, so everyone learned not to, so nobody ever did. I always toweled off, dressed, and did my hair in my bedroom. There was certainly no reading on the toilet or other activities going on in the bathroom. Plus, it was normal, I can't think of a single person I knew growing up that had multiple bathrooms (grew up poor, everyone lived in older construction, mostly smaller apartments). My dad actually grew up in a family of ten (10) with only 1.5 bathrooms.

Even now friends comment on how little time I spend in the bathroom.

Nowadays I have 1.5 baths, which is usual for this area (old construction). The half bath it totally unnecessary (just myself and my spouse here) but it's sometimes nice not having to go upstairs to pee. And of course the half bath isn't original to the house.
As a front end dev I’ve been thinking about it for so long but honestly I don’t know what I should build or study first.

The European Commission found that, since 2008, Google had been altering its search engine results to give priority to its European comparison shopping service - initially ‘Froogle’ and later ‘Google Shopping’ - ahead of other rival shopping businesses.

By ranking Google Shopping service ahead of other competitors, Google was able to significantly increase the amount of traffic to the previously ailing service, thereby generating more clicks and revenue. Meanwhile, other companies were bumped down the list and saw traffic levels drop. CNBC

I think it's more that the volume of information has massively expanded since. In the days before MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter, LiveJournal was the social network (along with blogs and personal websites), so naturally its founder and people who were active on it had higher profiles.

There could be such a thing as cheaper in a specific way. If I buy a screwdriver from Harbor freight, I know exactly what I am getting. My only surprise would be to the upside. And likewise if I buy something from snap on.
Hi, I'm a controls engineer at a small industrial automation integrator and will be picking one of these up for playing with. I've placed a couple Raspberry Pis running the DietPi kernel and dozens of OnLogic Windows fanless PCs in control panels, and if these do what they say on the box I think this will be highly competitive!

Two comments/suggestions:

1. I'd prefer a DVI-D connector (or even VGA) over the Micro-HDMI connector if I wanted to use this with a display. I've found that the bulkier, screw-locking DVI port is much less vulnerable to accidental disconnection or damage than HDMI (been burned a few times there, two "machine won't start" panic calls that turned out to be loose HDMI cables, one broken cable end, and one broken video adapter from ham-fisted maintenace personnel pulling on a stiff HDMI cable). Full-size DisplayPort has a latch, but even mini-Displayport feels sturdier than micro-HDMI without taking up much more space. I recognize that HDMI supports audio while DVI does not, but if my machine is playing audio it's likely just a fault klaxon from the stacklight rather than speakers or a TV.

2. A killer feature of, for example, Banner's XS26 safety controller (Don't panic, I don't intend to try to use your product as a safety controller, LOL) is their configuration storage device. If the device boots into factory defaults (either new from the manufacturer or after some reset image is loaded) and there's an image on the attached storage device, it will copy that stored configuration into memory and reboot. This means that my customer can keep a spare part on the shelf (for any number of machines!) and if one burns out the replacement doesn't involve a laptop, a rookie technician can replace it with nothing but a screwdriver. Bury a USB-A port (or, less rugged, a uSD socket, or less universal, a USB-micro drive port) on the bottom or even the back by the DIN-rail attachment and that will do a lot towards making this "scary Linux thing" in a potential customer's panel something they can almost treat as an off-the-shelf part like any other. (Note: I've never had an XS26 fail on me, and expect that your extended-temp eMMC is more trustworthy than most Flash drives. This is more about having a guaranteed backup and nontechnical replacement procedure than something I expect to do frequently.)
Nope, just confirms you're seeing reality.

Eventually I think they will, as the generations who drove their own car age out and new generations who grew up reliant on self-driving technology comes of age.

You see it with automatic transmissions, some people don't trust the computer to shift gears for them because they think they can do it better. As time went on and automatic gearboxes became more reliable and more popular, those complaints slowed down. (speaking from an American standpoint here)

You see it with anti-lock brakes (ABS). My grandparents still don't trust ABS even with studies showing ABS stops quicker than humans pumping the brakes, because it takes a level of control away from them. But that's not a common complaint these days.

You see it with electric cars, where any fire make national news but no one seems to care about the thousands of ICE cars that burn to the ground every year.

You even see it with seatbelts, people who claim it's safer to be thrown from the car in an accident.

But eventually those complaints lose their novelty and people just accept it as normal.
> And if that happens, they've got nothing, because they've been lazy and arrogant

Without search they would still have GMail, Maps, YouTube, Chrome, Android, and AdSense/Adwords. Surely that counts for something. That's the #1 email service, #1 navigation and mapping system, #1 video hosting website, #1 browser, #1 mobile phone platform, and #1 online advertising system. Then of course Cloud, Drive, Docs, Translate and all sorts of other services.

I don't know how you can consider that nothing and being lazy. These are services used by most of us on a daily basis. It's an impressive and diverse group of products, and it would be very difficult to compete against any single one of them.

> It feels like the unhealthiest FAANG

Really? You think Netflix is in a stronger position? They're a single product that depends on the ever changing licensing from a variety of third-parties.

What happens to Apple revenue without the iPhone and supporting services and products?

Facebook and Instagram feel susceptible to falling out of fashion and not being cool. That's a scary business to bet on long term. It's also far easier to build a Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp clone compared to Google Search.
