I lost interest in games around 8 years ago, but it was also rekindled because of the current situation.

I noticed that my approach is different this time. I always regarded Counter-Strike as a glorified shooter, but this:

My problem is that developers seem to be generally afraid of the technology and employers allow fragile products due to a talent deficit.

FOSS seems to be adopted by most Internet companies, where Swift, C# and .NET are fringe languages.

clang and gcc produce faster code than Visual Studio and are more pleasant to use. IBM is now using clang in its terrible xlc compiler.

Mathematica uses gmp (in (gasp) C!), there's no commercial alternative to gmp or mpfr.

If you are writing apps for iOS or Windows, sure, the cited languages are better. That is quite a narrow field though and I'm not sure how FOSS could enter that field.

>All of this has to be balanced, and it’s not a simple equation. There are a lot of moving parts here.

The challenges in legal tech are rarely technical; it's largely in the hands of the practioners themselves to want to change and to adopt new technologies. Evenb low-hanging fruit tools like e-mail and word processors took time to catch on; while seemingly no-brainers like e-signatures are still looked upon warily. So where does that leave even more robust solutions?

And this isn't even taking into consideration clients, who have the bargaining power to also drive some of the change but are often afraid to do so because everyone likes "having a lawyer" once they're significantly large enough to be able to afford the services of one.
I might try out Org mode at some point on desktop, but I also need something for mobile. I know Orgzly exists, but it seems quite clunky. When I'm in jotting-down mode I can add a bullet point every few seconds and I get the feeling that Org mode just isn't quite designed for that.

> You can turn the current subtree into its own org file.

As in "you can not just zoom in within a file"? That'd be super annoying when wanting to focus on one thing quickly.

Regarding being burned by free plans: I don't know how it works for them economically, but in general they seem like incredibly generous and wonderful people. Full export in a plain text format and OPML are one click in the app/CURL request with the right cookies to dynalist.io/backup away. They're quite responsive and nice on Twitter. When the service was down for a few hours pretty exactly a year ago (that means no sync, but the desktop app still works with local data) they gave everyone 2 weeks of premium as an apology (the main benefits are inline pictures and a sideways tree view, so it's not that appealing).

Maybe they'll make me pay at some point and I think it's worth about 5€ per month to me, beyond that it'd get me uncomfortable considering how polished, but fundamentally simple the service is. If there was such a plan I'd actually get it just to support them, since the service is quite amazing.

Long-term I'd like to have a FOSS app that can do more complex graphs than just trees, with different views and such (imagine a relational-type list of things that you can categorize by different attributes), but Dynalist is by far the best thing I have seen so far.

I fear Org mode just quite doesn't fit my use case, as I think it also doesn't save whether a node is collapsed or not.
It's only at link time that object will depend on another, so you don't need a new compiler to support a "cloud" use case where any number of machines can work on compilation.

No reason to be bitter about XML having failed on the web; some important vocabularies, like SVG and MathML, have been incorporated into HTML, and some other parts of the XHTML effort, like XForms, really didn't work out. The web wasn't created on XML but on HTML which is an SGML not XML vocabulary, so there's no point in appealing to a glorious past that never existed (and yes, I actually developed <?xslt-stylesheet ...>-based sites in the early/mid 2000's).

If you like XML, maybe you like SGML, XML's big sister, as well. Since XML is per definition just a subset of SGML, everything that applies to XML equally applies to SGML as well. Only that SGML has additional concepts and much more power as an actual text authoring, document composition, and templating format, and, unlike XML, SGML can parse regular HTML, including HTML5.
I have the exact opposite complaint :-) the kickstand is not a problem but performance is so abysmal I can basically keep only one application open at the time.

I often wondered what I was doing wrong since many people are reasonably happy with its performance but never found an answer, even after disabling everything that can be disabled.

If you are referring to a caching distributed compile cluster, most companies with large codebases are using one (or should). It helps a lot and can make the difference between taking half a day for a scratch make (i.e. unusable) to getting down to 10 min.

Having access to original NRK data, is it possible to deanonymize more people (try to check your home address, NRK HQ, etc), and ask them for a list of installed apps to check if all have one in common? Although it's questionable from privacy point of view, so probably better to pursue it in legal ways.

Presumably if they are licensed to do the job someone else has already done the vetting

That’s true but it’s also true that a candidate may have had previous jobs at a string of reputable companies, and yet that “vetting” is completely ignored and it’s back to square one.

Not to mention that a degree from a reputable university also doesn’t count. Maybe it gets them past the HR screen but no interviewers seem to believe that a degree let’s you skip the whiteboard.
A "real" test would be much harder, and to be actually useful, it would also have to contain a way to finance itself, i.e. by testing it not on a selected group of people, but on a region and adding additional taxes for everyone in the region large enough to offset the payments.

If you're only testing the outcome, but not the income, you're essentially allowing "free energy" people to plug their magic machines into a wall socket while you test the energy output of their machines.

Much fewer people will agree to run that test (as it'll negatively affect their bottom line), and I do believe that proponents of UBI will also be more hesitant to run it, as it might prove that adding e.g. 20% to income tax will motivate tax payers to migrate away from UBI zones.

>According to its 2006-adopted platform, the National Coalition Party's policy is based on "freedom, responsibility and democracy, equality of opportunity, education, supportiveness, tolerance and caring".[9] The party is described by literature as a liberal[2] and conservative[3] as well as a liberal-conservative[4] party in the centre-right[8] with catch-all party characteristics.[29] The non-profit Democratic Society described it as "the heir to both liberal and conservative strains of right-of-centre thought" that is becoming increasingly liberal compared to its official stance of conservatism.[6]

>Specifically, it contains elements of cultural and economic liberalism and social reformism.[30] For example, it supports multiculturalism, work-based immigration, gay rights and same sex marriage.[6][31][32][33] Although formerly considered to have been critical of the Nordic welfare model and campaigning for strict doctrines of economic liberalism, in the 1970s the party shifted to supporting more social liberalism, such as increased social security and a welfare state, justified by increased individual liberty.[34]

In The Netherlands there has been a form of UBI for decades, for anyone who wants it or needs it.

It is called 'bijstand', is about € 1k a month and you are eligible for all kinds of other discounts and support.

Just request it at your municipality and make sure not to find work.
If you're submitting hundreds of applications, it's unlikely your'e spending hours on each application (which you probably should be)

Each resume and cover letter needs to be customized for each company. It needs to fulfil each of the roles and demonstrate compelling evidence (projects) of how you meet the requirements.

It's amazingly clear if the resume is not written for a specific job and will most likely be immediately discarded from consideration. So why bother sending all of them then?

More time on less applications leads to more interviews
That hasn’t been the case in decades. When TWA was expanding they had a large pool of WWII pilots. Training for military pilots is very expensive as well. They won’t want to waste it on someone who’s only sticking around 5 years.

Lessons for Developers to Prevent Zoombombing and Zoom’s Security Blunders
Zoom is an easy-to-use and feature-rich video conferencing software whose usage skyrocketed amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, we also use it at Oursky. However, Zoom’s popularity came with outcry over privacy and security. It’s been involved in a string of security incidents, including the infamous Zoombombing, and is found to be riddled with vulnerabilities and issues with its supposed use of end-to-end encryption as uncovered by Citizen Labs of University of Toronto.
On the bright side, this is a good lesson – and clear reminder – for developers to strengthen the security of their software. Here are five dos and don’ts that we think every web and mobile application should learn to avoid Zoom’s mistakes: https://code.oursky.com/5-lessons-for-developers-to-prevent-....
> I can, for example, guarantee that this blog is faster than any Gatsby blog (and much love to the Gatsby team) because there is nothing that a React static site can do that will make it faster than a non-React static site.

How can we compare two static HTML websites and conclude on what's faster? Just by saying so is not the answer.

Except even at those companies, the actual day to day work is pretty straight forward. What we really need are engineers who can produce well thought out designs, and write quality code that is easy to maintain. Unfortunately, the emphasis on tech interviews is on algorithmic questions, possibly due to desire to reduce candidate pool size, and the fact that design output are somewhat harder to quantify.

How do you determine whether it was panic or just uncertainty?

It could be a rational reason for markets to swing wildly because of uncertainty about future. It might take time to gather enough data to assess the risks properly, and while risks are as unknown it is rational that market will be valued lower.

Each bit of knowledge makes uncertain a little bit less uncertain.

Yes terraform and ansible have different sweet spots. Terraform is best when managing stateless resources. It can handle stateful resources, but as always managing state gets tricky fast.

If what you are CRUD-ing doesn't map well to the terraform concept of a resource, then don't use it. SO i don't like to use to create anaything inside a VM.
Using terraform to create an auto-scaling group is good, though, as it can be represented as a stateless resouce. Or rather any state in it is transient.

> 1) less economic troubles and financial stress; 2) Higher confidence in future possibilities; 3) More self-determination and autonomy.

Do we really need to test that though? It seems obvious that giving someone money without affecting their taxes, the price of goods etc would do this.

The issue is that once you roll it out on the society level, it's not the same any more. It will affect their taxes and inflation. Will they still report less economic troubles and financial stress when they receive $500 a month but their rent has gone up by $500?

This is the real reason why FAANGs push for non-GPL licenses.

FAANGs want to wedge themselves as the middleman between developers and end users. They view such community as a threat.

Uber has something of a head start. If it knows your start and end points, it can decide if a full SDC is appropriate or if a human driver is necessary, and then it can send you the right one. This is even better if the passenger is, as the article says, an object, and not a person who can have driver preferences.
