Maybe not every developer is a power user? There are those that are happy with UI and there are those that prefer CLI.
Maybe it is a frontend/backend preference (I prefer backend BTW)?

Some of the issues that my wife had (ordinary user):

- directory structure in Finder is strange, you don't know where your Documents is located

- photos after transferring from iPhone using the default app land in some strange format, should would expect to have jpeg/heic/mov files, but what she sees is a binary DB file (how to send photos to relatives from e.g. gmail, when you can't select it from the filesystem?)

- closing apps - when I click on the red button I expect the app to close, not just one of the windows, so the only way on macOs is to go to app menu and click Exit (too many clicks and needs scanning for a text), while I think most would prefer the other way around (my wife does)

And from myself: Why the default unix tools are in ancient versions?
One has to install brew to do anything non-trivial in Terminal.
Pilots are also using/moving to tablets.

Search for “Electronic Flight Bag tablet”. Not only is it a thing, there are competing products.
That's really not how Wayland development works. Except for resource management and data transfer (wl_compositor, wl_shm_pool etc.), pretty much everything in the "core" Wayland protocol has originated in compositor implementations that were then standardized. "Donating to braindead projects like wlroots" is exactly how this problem is going to be solved. There's no Wayland cabal where people just sit around a table writing specifications in the hope that they'll eventually get implemented somewhere.

This is pretty much how X11 was built, too, by the way.
Amazon's Mechanical Turk: Horror Stories from the Inside
I'm only looking inside the man page if searching online fails me. I'm surprised how often I find answers inside a man page, but not on the internet. It doesn't feel right.
Memestack
It's been great. Only downside has been some small hiccups with saving drafts via iOS app. The web app seems to be the source of truth and always reliable.
That's a good point. I think it seems likely that given the relatively larger storage capacity per unit[0] with pumped hydro vs. batteries, that the overall maintenance costs -- including the environmental costs of materials needed -- would be lower, but you're absolutely right that we'd have to do the math to know for sure.

[0]When I say "per unit," I just mean that a huge battery is made up of many cells that will need to be replaced individually, whereas large pumped hydro facilities are still only a small number of total reservoirs.

I feel like what you describe here ... is the noise.
This doesn't sit well with me either. However, LinkedIn are trying to redefine a fundamental principle of the web, i.e. easy access to publicly available information, and they're doing it simply to protect their commercial interests.

It would be terrible to see the web compromised by a spat between two (in my opinion) scummy companies, and I think we could do with some hard push-back against attacks on the web generally.
unishark said it better than I could

"You're accusing people of irrational fear of china and the poster is challenging you with evidence that the fear is rational. If you assumed good faith your "loyalty" is not relevant."
The key is composability.

On a normal desktop OS, it is routine to use multiple applications in concert to do work, using files and the clipboard as means of composition.

On an iPad (or mobile devices in general), it is indeed possible to build delightful and useful end-to-end integrated suites for doing so-called "Real work".

The problem is that if you want to perform a task that requires features from two or more applications, you may well be out of luck! Applications can rarely share data, often resorting to cloud services (and thus a mandatory network connection) as a clumsy workaround, and even copying and pasting data between applications can be challenging and error-prone.

On a desktop, any user can invent new workflows. On an ipad, a user can only buy them wholesale. Users are at the mercy of the degree of forethought the app developers put into their designs.

>it's difficult to make a truly good cheeseburger without American cheese because of its melting properties, for instance

Huh? On non-fast-food cheeseburgers, cheddar is typically the standard cheese, and swiss is also popular. One of the best burgers I ever ate had caramelized goat cheese (in Europe). I don't even know the last time I had American cheese (on a burger or anything else), and I'm pretty sure the cheeses I've had on burgers were not "Americanized" as you mention, they were just normal cheese.
Disney Sued by Artist over Unicorn-Adorned Van in Pixar's 'Onward'
That was not obvious, it was written like a French nuclear with French wind comparison.
And also that is misleading because comparing the low capacity factor of French nuclear because it is used for load following and curtailed in summer because it is scaled for winter usage using restive heating. And comparing it to offshore with intermittent power, not dispatchable in the best location, does not make sense. With penetration wind will also be curtailed, and is already happening in china and Germany.
I've never heard that said before, but I'm interested to hear more. Do you have any sources on that? My understanding was that solar panels last quite a long time.
I'm not a professional photographer, but the 11in iPad Pro has been my main photo editing machine for a year now. The USB-C port and external drive support via iPadOS makes for a simple workflow using my DSLR and editing pipeline. If I ended up doing this kind of work professionally, I could see myself continuing to use this current workflow. I guess that would be real work too.
They do work but Trumps goals are questionable. What does he actually want to achieve? Move manufacturing away from China? It did happen but the jobs didn't go back to the USA.

With carbon tariffs the entire point is to reduce import of CO2 intensive products. The only failure criteria is if people abolish the CO2 tax/tariff.
the title is true and worth discussing.

the article, less so.

The TLDR; = Am I to grok that journalism's decline is due to an anecdotal incident of social media (completely different field here) manipulation?

Hrmmm nice article title. I wish it were attached to a related article.
Op-ed drek churned out in industrial quantities cheaply, as it's basically the verbal equivalent of comments on any net forum.
Funding a global investigative journalism team? not so cheap, eh?
No OP, but one related example as a dev, you cannot buy / use anything from their marketplace (like a blueprint plugin) on Linux. There are some hacks out there to load them but you still have to buy them from the Windows client.
For me, real work means "realistically replace my laptop." The iPad cannot begin to do that. Apple could have designed IOS as a tightly integrated touch/keyboard-optional system, but they chose not to. Instead it's a bunch of app-centric silos that is decidedly hostile to most of my laptop-like keyboarding use cases.
Very interesting, I wonder if there is any similar android app to feelsom
Android has a file system, but almost every app goes out of its way to hide that fact from you. I have almost no idea where any particular app is going to save files to, and so it's playing needle in a haystack every time I want to open a file created by one app in a different one.
I think it looks sleeker, but I don't see anything else too different from my first look.
There is some information that the threats were sent by a guy who lost ton of money on recently crashed biggest Russian bitcoin exchange.
Those things don’t create wealth though.
Most obvious and best use case has been the proliferation of point of sale systems especially to small businesses which couldn’t make a large investment in that area before.
There are only a few niche phones on the market in the US right now that can be used with one hand. I know because I insist upon it and haven't been able to buy a new phone (I also insist upon being able to run a fully de-googled LineageOS or similar ROM). So I use a Motorola Moto E 2015 model and will continue to indefinitely, until there is a phone that fits my required specifications.

There are a few small phones available, but most of them are too small like the Palm phone or Unihertz Atom. There's nothing that's just normal with a 4" - 4.5" screen.
The minimum donation in Bitcoin is probably about US$0.01. Anyway that's what I've paid in transaction fees the last few times I made a donation where I didn't care how long it would take. (They were confirmed within a few hours.) Transaction fees for within-the-hour confirmation are around US$0.20.
It seems like it isn't free, I would appreciate not handing my network over to anyone. Since ZeroTier only runs over udp (which can be problematic) and doesn't route over other peers if p2p isn't possible between nodes I've been thinking about building the same admin and ease of deployment around tinc, which can fall back to tcp443 if necessary.
Ya. The stuff on NuoDB is basically all untrue or misleading as well (source: I work there). I wouldn't put too much stock in this self-promotion article.
I can't speak for him but my experience compiling from source wasn't that bad, but if I wanted to use any assets from the store it required having the epic launcher installed on windows, so no download of assets on linux. This was frustrating the first time I showed up to a game jam with a linux only machine, not impossible to use but a pain that felt unnessisary.
I swam in the jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, Iceland, for 3 minutes. When I re-emerged, I could not stop shivering for about 10 minutes.

Before this event, I took cold showers for about 1 year (including in winter), then I stopped. Thinking of resuming, but not sure.

Would I go and swim again in the glacier lagoon or similar? Probably. It has this refrigerator serene like feeling.

So, cold shower is one thing, swimming in near freezing temperature is another thing.
Even without knowing the full details, their returns are quite plausible if you have less speculative knowledge of their business. The challenge for most hedge funds is that any "edge" they find decays over time, often quickly, which leaves them scrambling to find a new edge that will allow them to outperform the market. Most hedge funds go to a lot of effort to preserve an edge to the extent they can.

Renaissance focused on finding and developing novel mathematics that can be exploited to find an edge, some of which is extremely esoteric and unique, and then massively automating that. Consequently, they can find more new edges before breakfast than some hedge funds find all year. The real effect is that they don't need to milk a dying edge for returns because they are constantly generating new ones, and they can pick the best of the bunch at any point in time. The investment side of the business is mechanical. Their recruiting has reflected their deep interest in novel theoretical approaches to edge discovery.

In a sense, they are a higher order abstraction of a more typical hedge fund.
School, as an experience, is hell compared to work; excruciatingly boring, filled with unpleasant interactions and zero agency. The only upside of school is longer holidays.

Work is fulfilling if you self-identify with what you do. If you don't, it's an act of self-denial, and retirement is more likely.
Thank you, it's quite a useful app.
You should try some German or Swiss chocolate. Ritter Sport (German) is very good and not costly (and not high-cacao either).
Circuit court rulings are usually only binding precedent within their district. However, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has exclusive appellate jurisdiction over certain subject matters (e.g., patents), so it's supposed to follow appropriate precedent for stuff outside its remit and its precedent is binding on everybody for stuff inside its remit.

That said, it is not unusual for a court to look to rulings in other jurisdictions to decide a matter if there is no binding precedent in place. They are not required to, however.
Script for Negotiating Salary After Receiving a Job Offer
I don't understand, you are making his point here. Real work involves lots of files and you want an operating system that does not discourage apps exchanging files or apps managing abstract files just because of a failed, aborted crusade against the whole "file system" thing.
You don’t understand what a preliminary injunction is then.

It’s a very, very strong indication that they will win. Courts don’t issue preliminary injunctions unless it’s extremely likely the side who won the preliminary injunction will win.
Yes, but deletion of a Google account (for a lot of people, the core of their whole internet experience) has way different probability than getting a new, non-apple phone.
Let's say that individual humans have the right to keep secrets. Let's also say that they have the right to keep secrets with their associates, and to tell them to who they please. Now, doesn't that make it legal for a group of people to keep secrets about you? What about selling them? I just don't see what doing away with the legal fiction of corporate personage would do about Facebook.
I'm asking because I'm only hearing one side of the story. I have had to E-sign documents before and they always say the documents are available to reading, to which I always ask for it. I've never had an issue with that, especially with insurance companies.

Furthermore, the insurance the person is asking for is disability insurance. Common sense dictates that they will ask for medical records, and therefore need a HIPAA disclosure document.

If what the poster alleges it true, I agree wholeheartly that it should have been more clear in signing up for it, but it seems odd that the poster didn't think that state farm would ask for medical release forms for disability insurance.

TL;DR, I think there's more to the story than what is alleged here.
I hope Google eases up with the captchas.

Their only api as far as I can tell is their “custom search engine“, which doesn’t appear to match the results of their public search and is ungodly expensive.
I was giving actual current feed in tariff for French wind.
I think the OS would benefit from not only keeping apps on the screen but objects that are acted upon by apps. there is little reason why it cannot go both ways, desktops don't care if you click an app or object/file/etc.
I agree that "real work" has different meanings for different people. OTOH I can see where the author is coming from when saying "real work" as in using the iPad in a productive manner in the device itself and not an accessory to another activity or consuming content.

I've owned 3 iPads (currently iPad Pro 12.9) and while I love them for reading and consuming media I've never been able to do any kind of work on it other than answering a quick email.
Worldwide, all 200 countries wherever there is internet.

Regarding regulations we are studying two possible scenarios, comply with all or simply Uberize the model and let people sell money for a fee. For the former we need tons of money, attorneys and on/off ramps with the banking world. For the latter we only would be the messaging transport and people would buy and sell money informally, that's the long tail of the unbanked and informal merchants.
When I started developing RetroWar[1], I found Unity quite a disappointment, and so I developed my own custom engine in Kotlin. It works very well, but it took several years.

Recently I tried Godot because I was looking for something simple I could teach to kids[2], and I was amazed how easy it makes game creation. I made these games with no experience in just a couple of days!

GDscript is great. It's similar enough to Python that kids who know Python won't notice much difference, and it actually simplifies things for beginners, e.g. you can use objects without the need to define classes because they are created automatically when you create a script.

Godot is still a little rough around the edges, e.g. not everything has keyboard shortcuts, sometimes it crashes, some of the built in tools like map editor are very fiddly to use. But it's open source so I'm sure they will be fixed eventually (and if they aren't I can always do it myself.) The only major issue I can see for the future of Godot is the lack of exporters for Xbox, Playstation and Switch.

If I'm an insurance company, I wouldn't provide coverage without it.
Retired people live off the returns from their investments, and since that’s where their income comes from, they usually make decisions about managing those investments from time to time.
I don't think the direction would ever be clear, even if the legality were clearly established. The arms race would intensify, and detecting/blocking/deceiving scrapers might become a lucrative field.

Companies want to provide some information to some people; but providing all information to all people is analogous to allowing customers to make a meal of free food samples, on a recurring basis.
The guide from https://www.checkbot.io/guide/seo/ is focused on technical/on-page SEO but Google makes some mentions of how it treats duplicate content across the web here:

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en

> Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar. Mostly, this is not deceptive in origin. ...

> Google tries hard to index and show pages with distinct information. This filtering means, for instance, that if your site has a "regular" and "printer" version of each article, and neither of these is blocked with a noindex meta tag, we'll choose one of them to list.

> In the rare cases in which Google perceives that duplicate content may be shown with intent to manipulate our rankings and deceive our users, we'll also make appropriate adjustments in the indexing and ranking of the sites involved.
What you describe is read uncommitted. From your own docs:

> A third party that performs cross-database reads can observe partial commits while a 2PC transaction is in progress.

Regardless of rollback status, the in-flight transaction will not be observed correctly across shards, for example, with a cross-shard join. It doesn't matter what the consistency guarantee within a shard is; this is not ACID nor is it serializable.
It sounds like the same old issue - lack of understanding of the fundamentals underlying technologies.

Otherwise they would realize what they demand is contradictory and incoherent like demanding to be both viewable by all and not viewable. DRM is one fundamental example of it.
> nor have I heard a single positive comment about the service.

Really? I have it and it works just as well as when I had a xbox and gaming pc. You can look through some of the other stadia threads here and on reddit and find plenty of other people who think it works well too.
> if you want to perform a task that requires features from two or more applications, you may well be out of luck!

Ok... but if you don’t need that you’re not doing ‘real work’?
Warren Buffett’s passion project is investing though.
I cringed when he removed the CPU with a screwdriver from the board after spraying it with WD-40.

First stating how rare these white 6502s are, then use brute-force methods to remove the chips off the board.

He could have at least used a proper chip-puller. Seeing those bent pins on 40+-year-old ROMs breaks my heart :(.
I don't see contradiction there. He is against proton mail disclosing information of its users, and if Russia decides to block access to their service in revenge, so be it.

No, it was not just saying that. If that's how you interpreted it then you probably read it too fast.

You are correct that the specs support ECC. Go's implementation is not complete (see https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp/packet). More importantly you can't guarantee clients will be able to use ECC. See this issue (from my initial link): https://github.com/golang/go/issues/20058

Sounds pretty dystopian to me.

When talking with people they sometimes say 'I did nothing wrong, this is just for the bad guys'. But what people fail to see is that 'bad guys' is a pretty fluid concept and it depends on the nature of the current government and who decides which people are on the lists.

Looking at the current British government it isn't even that hard to imagine the wrong hands that this technology could get into and cause damage.

Who maintains the databases with 'wanted faces'? Imagining a some corrupt corporation that just puts their enemies on these lists, think union leaders, critical journalists, etc, again, isn't that hard.

Never mind that this tech, being tech, isn't perfect and there are probably false positives that lead to very annoying situations.
“Live long enough to become the villain”

When Joel Spolsky was starting out I agreed with at least four out of five things he said and the fifth was more of a “huh?” As time went on quite a few “no, Joel” and a few “yikes” reactions began. He petered out when I still thought half of his stuff was good. I’m sure others have kept going.

How to talk someone out of bigotry
My daily yoga practice has taught me to embrace challenging new poses (or situations in life) in a great new way.

A paradigm shift, if you will.

I used to look at challenging poses with dread. "Oh god, that's going to be uncomfortable..." or perhaps "There is no way I am strong enough to do that..." and I am always right. It is going to be uncomfortable and I am usually too weak to perform the asana with grace.

But what really excited me upon learning recently... and what helps me pull through it every single time now is this:

I am about to be able to move my body in a way that was never before possible... at least not possible since I was 6 years old or so most likely...

If I can just bear through it...

In a few weeks time I know I'll be able to move my body in ways that I never even thought was possible... and that's really exciting for a yogi!

Trying new things is exhilarating!

I feel sorry for my former self who dreaded them for far too long.
