That always struck me as extremely weird.

If it's a useful vehicle, tying it up for years at a stretch seems terribly wasteful. It seems better to use dedicated equipment for the two-year project, and keep the versatile thing free for things that need versatility.

All I can think of is that nobody has actually discovered anything well-suited to its strengths, so they keep it in orbit so it doesn't seem to be doing nothing, and a waste of money.

Clue?
Do those lunch/meal vouchers exist at all in the UK? Many workers here in Czech Republic get them as a work benefit, and I suspect this is what they're referring to. It varies per employer but we get roughly one ticket per working day, worth 110kč ($4.40, or €4) and they're valid in pretty much every restaurant in the city so basically everyone goes out for lunch.

When I was in the UK they didn't have anything like this.

Well, it requires a complex nervous system.

How many neurons are there outside of the brain?

How many neurons create a sensing, feeling being?

It's an assumption to say that the only way for consciousness around organic feeling to exist is through a brain. We don't know that.

This is how one goes about understanding (or extracting a meaning from) a point. By poking at it with scepticism and watching how it holds up to scrutiny.
I doubt the public would've noticed.

The Police App isn't that widely used, and there's no obvious way to find out that it's not sending your location to a central server - after all, you still need to give the app permission to read your location!

I think if they had put in a database and gone on some blarb about how the app is entirely anonymous (it is) and the location database is well secured, nobody except a few privacy extremists (akin to the author of the blog post linked here) would've thought twice about it.

They didn't do it out of fear of repercussions but because they took both the actual rules about police-citizen-privacy, and the spirit behind those rules, very seriously.

Note, though, that this app was made by the media and PR department of the police. They didn't have much to lose by respecting privacy, except maybe spending some more tax euros. There's other government agencies that don't share this attitude (eg our intelligence agency, who thinks everybody is a potential terrorist and deserves to be treated as such), and I wouldn't be surprised if even other branches of the police itself wouldn't take that whole privacy shizzle so seriously. Eg the ones occupied with catching bad guys. It's not all roses and sunshine.

But it's still pretty nice.

That is certainly true; compared to Angular 1's shenanigans, it was far harder to accidentally make React slow, so of course word quickly got around that it was faster than Angular.js (something interpreted as just "fast"). However, I'm not sure if I'd call that the motivation behind it, or even conscious marketing from React's side, rather than just an artefacts of its times.

No, GB's excess mortality compared to last year is already greater than 35 thousand death, and that's not taking into account the 4-day lag between the actual death and the report (unlike "covid19" hospital death.

At your home install nss-mdns on Linux. It uses avahi for mDNS name resolution on your LAN. You can then forgo /etc/hosts and DHCP reservations between your machines at home. It is compatible with Mac's. I don't know what you can use on Windows for the purpose.

Then to extend this a notch or two install Zerotier on all your hosts. Now you have virtual LAN between all your machines even outside of your home. It is P2P and does hole punching and whatever you need to work. You can connect to your computer via tethering from a puny little laptop while sitting on a bench outside your house. If you are a home admin for your family you can add those computers to your virtual LAN. Or your friends can also join. Then you can easily share photos or whatever straight with Samba or even an intranet of sorts.
Personally, I find Zoom's breakout rooms a complete game-changer when it comes to hosting online events. If you use them properly they can reduce or eliminate a lot of the energy-sapping effects of online meetings.

By “expecting more”, do you mean “get an offer”?

People who interviewed me were so arrogant and clueless. They had no clue how to calculate time complexity. No clue why provided unit tests were not enough and etc. They were just looking at the solution and thinking they know everything.

If you displayed this type of disdain at the interview they might have caught on to it.

Has anyone had positive experiences with systemd? Success stories because of feature x?

I've pretty grim personal opinion of it, based on similiar experiences as this story. I'd rather just use a simpler approach (another init) that _works_, and doesnt involve hours of debugging. I've never had any troubles with sysv-style init for example.
> As for the legacy applications, I guess just like with those stuck in Windows XP, either adopt the future or stay behind.

I have a very strong feeling that it will be Windows 10X that will be "left behind". The entire point of using Windows nowadays is to be able to use existing Windows applications.
I work for Google, but not on anything related to Meet. I'm most excited about this because the video/audio quality is much higher.

When I use Zoom with friends, everyone is usually 320x240, or maybe 640x480 if there's only one person. Doom was 320x240 in 1993.

In Google Meet, I usually see people at 1280x920. A 4k monitor will fit 6 people at that resolution.

I value this higher resolution because it makes me feel more connected to people.

Hi, I'm the author. I made this itch-scratcher for myself and now I'm seeing if people want, or even understand it.

I have 3 calendars (personal and 2 work ones) and I often find myself copying events between them. Copying holiday between them.. flights.. early starts etc for the people who look at my calendars (family and colleagues). Keeping these events in sync is occasionally super annoying.

This lets you sync events between them..

Only Google calendars for now. I'd probably tackle Microsoft calendars next if people actually use it.

Any feedback very welcome!
Google products ( and other tech company products ) are discontinued when they don't take off. Meet has a 100 million daily call participants.

And really with video conferencing product, I don't get the whole trope of "but they might discontinue it." - the utility is immediate in terms of the calls that you make with it, and time boxed till by when a call ends.
Supposedly Liverpool are using this "ghost" technique as well. in training to change player behavior, using the "expected goals" stat as the main metric or representation of the field state. It works well with Klopp's system.

My SO has to use a multitude of tools, because all her university teachers use different tools, because there was no standard up front.

She (and I have to agree sitting next to her) states that Zoom by far has the best usability and user experience. It is easy to use, features are quite detectable and stuff like virtual raised hands are great for teaching bigger groups.

So I would say it is the best tool out there currently.

Personally I prefer Google Meet - but that is because I use it daily for work and it became free only days ago.
Yeah, I would set as well a higher value for "ServerAliveCountMax".
This was expected already, anyway it's better to use jitsi, better security and privacy
Yes, large videoconference tools like zoom meet etc. all use a central server to do intermediate processing. One on one (or small group) apps are often p2p, and can therefore be e2e encrypted.
There's an asterisk to that. There was a not insignificant chunk of time that Zoom had to disable their web client, which was a pain...
> The tech conglomerate has poured more than $13.5 billion into WeWork

So the potential downside is still even larger.

Seeing as WeWork needs to continue to pay their long-term leases, 2020 is not going to look good for them thanks to Covid-19.
I've worked for a company that market themselves with "No code". How it worked there was that we spent a lot of time understanding the users need and business domain and modelled a properly normalised db from it. Then came the "no code" part, which was a platform that made it easy and very fast to create the first iteration of the interface from the database. For those things where the mapping to some tables in the database were simple it was just a few clicks. Something like search customer and create/update customer pages takes less than a minute to create.

And you are of course right in that this will only create 80% of what the customer needs. But the marginal cost for us to create those first 80% of the application were almost zero. And since we weren't worse than anyone else with the last 20% we could deliver fast, inexpensive and still have large margins.

The mistake I think many do when they think "no code" is that they think that they can eliminate the developer and let business people just "configure" the new application. But those people have the insulting idea that the only thing that makes programming hard is syntax.

I am a fairly young consultant and have initially advocated against Zoom due to the glaring privacy issues.

Obviously to no avail. Nobody cares. People just want to open a service and have it work and Zoom excels at that. As Teams was already there for my large enterprise client, we tried that at first but nope. Has issues with screen sharing and makes problems even with less than a dozen users.

I never had any Zoom connection issues and among my consultant company and my client I have participated in Zoom meetings with 200-300 people (we did some events digitally) with absolutely zero issues. Grid view is amazing as well.

Jitsi exists but I couldn't even convince a single person to switch for more than one session. Zoom works and nothing else counts. In Europe I don't know any company that would get Google licenses for Meet due to ... Google being Google.

It's all Zoom (professional & private) and Houseparty (private).
We have them in France too, but half is payed by the employee (taken from the salary). But we can also use them when buying groceries (not all supermarkets accept them, but a lot of them do)
I agree and don't understand the downvotes.

I have in the last weeks probably seen most of the tools out there and used a lot. As said in another comment my SO has to use multiple tools. So Zoom won from a usability and feature perspective for non technical users.
Obviously not.

Which is the point in using the word obvious, obviously. Namely, using it to feel superior or to not provide a better argument.

If that happens then interesting new applications and ideas will start appearing on these FOSS OSes since those will be the OSes where such things will be possible. People do not use computers for their OSes, they use computers for the applications they can run on them and if all the new interesting stuff comes out in the free FOSS OSes then people will start migrating to using those OSes.

Nowadays this doesn't happen much because there is no incentive.

It can be fixed with better training, infrastructure changes, or both. The cost of fixing the training regime would be extremely high, however: New drivers presumably already know what to do and have been tested on it during their practical exam. The problem is that encounters with stop signs are sufficiently rare they fail to naturally reinforce that training through repetition. To fix that, you either need to increase the frequency of natural stop-sign encounters by installing more of them or to introduce artificial encounters by requiring practical exams for license renewals.

I’ve written video software.

Zoom’s client blows away anything that I’ve seen from anyone else -by a significant margin.

When you can have 30 active video thumbnails on a single screen, with very little latency, on a humbly-specced machine, and the fan doesn’t even kick in, you have some impressive work.
> See bubble for example - https://bubble.io . It’s basically “visual” Rails. The intention is to allow users to build complex, interactive software visually, without having to write code.

Why the "hate" for code? I immediately understand the problems that typical programming languages have for people who are not trained in programming. But there exist good reasons why other approaches like "visual programming" have failed (except for some niches). So in my opinion the solution is not to "spread hate" against code for a "stupid" market pitch, but take the time to develop programming languages that are better suited to the needs of the customer.

I agree. Several elements of lockdown are being lifted in italy on monday. Watching the people in my street thinking it's all over now...well, it soon may be. No proper distancing, kids from different families playing together - in the streets, but also in communal hallways so you have to ask them to move before you can pass. People thinking that being on one side of a fence protects you. Trying to tell people the threat is still there, it's just that the hospitals are slightly better prepared, doesn't mean we're anywhere near the end.
If the main lose is on the leases, isn't that where corporate lawyers involve or foresee that kind of situations? Are they still paying all of the lease during pandemic?

> The mistake I think many do when they think "no code" is that they think that they can eliminate the developer

Exactly. No-where did I mention you do not need (good) devs for this. They are just not writing code (in the traditional way). No/lowcode is not saying the same as end-user development, although it gets mixes up quite a bit (also by the companies selling the tools), it is not what I mean when when working with such tools.

And in my experience at least, you can push back closer to the 80% than the 100%, so sure, you don't get that last 20% (or part of it) but maybe I can convince the client they don't need it. And if they do, I would choose (maybe) another tool for the job like I said.

He told me about a curious case of a house which, despite being located next to the network node, appeared as if it was kilometers away from the signal loss POV. It turned out that for unknown reasons, instead of cutting the necessary length of cable to install, someone just connected both ends through a fresh cable spool and buried that spool underground.
