When I last deep dived to the cellular hardware, Radio always had its sealed off processor with a postbox firmware upload port. After initializing it, you left it alone and just used the comm-ports to talk with it.

As far as I understand, in the name of efficiency and compactness, they are on the same silicon now.

Are they still a different CPU core or just run on the main processor block?

Button, input, textarea, and select all have size variations. It's missing from checkboxes, radios, and switches but I'm not sure how useful that is. Feel free to submit an issue so folks can vote on it.

Also, under Helmut Kohl, despite advice from experts to use fiber, the German government wired the whole country with copper instead because the ministry of infrastructure at the time had stocks in the copper business leaving the country's internet behind Ukraine or Belarus.[1]

If you're on the DAX or a politician, you're untouchable in Germany and lots of people inside and outside of Germany have no idea of how insanely corrupt the German government and their corporate buddies are.

Sure, it's not like Russia or the CCP and you're not in danger of being suicided if you uncover some high level dirt but nobody really ever gets punished when obvious corruption gets proven so I have no idea how they always manage to looks so good in the corruption statistics.

serious media outlets generally don't name suspects untill they are convicted.

This is a rule that we as a society have established after generations of experience with how media works.

Then we get "social media", and all the old rules get thrown out... So, how long will it take to reinvent the same rules for this new platform?
If you think CSS is tedious, then you've never dealt with medical device regulations. cross browser testing will seem like an absolute breeze. If a UK employer were paying £90k for CSS, absolutely everybody and their dog would be applying for a job that pays double a typical dev salary.

I think we've already experienced the race to the bottom and come out the other side, with $24 being fairly average for the world and the US being on the high side. This all happened years bacj when companies started outsourcing development and IT to India at rock bottom prices, but then received a lot of low-quality work (you get what you pay for). I believe India has a much different approach to software quality than many other countries.

It's taken many companies years to realise that mistake, but I wouldn't call $24 a race to the bottom for skilled labour as that will land you comfortably above average income in the UK

That's on paper.

Then there's reality. And in reality, not many people respect Trump and are willing to follow his orders. This happens constantly in the news. His own cabinet members openly work against him all the time.

Most recently consider how Mark Esper publically publicly rejected using the Insurrection Act, right over top of Trump.

Now you could say—what if we had some other president? Well, the same social rules would apply to that person as well. Even if they were incredibly charismatic and well-liked and respected, they'd need to clear many social and political hurdles before the airplanes took off.

Which raises a related issue of whether the number of likes/hearts can even be trusted.

It's not merely debatable, it's highly debatable. People aren't just going to launch nuclear weapons willy nilly, no matter who the president is, muchless for Donald J. Trump, who few people in his administration take seriously.

Trump couldn't even get Mark Esper to deploy troops domestically. Now imagine the hurdles he'd face trying to deploy troops to another country.

Could you please share some example usecases you implemented ?
what is ubuntu to debian is manjaro to arch.
Having said that there is not really any easy way to install a debian rolling distro therefore the next best alternative that exist is manjaro.

Arch seems to me too fast and probably a little unpredictable where manjaro is easy to install and a little bit late to upstream in comparison to other rolling distros.

The last point actually is a plus and I regard manjaro as the most stable rolling distro.

> 2. The article didn't mention this, but Rust's approach has a lot of run-time checking too. Every expect/unwrap and every Rc<RefCell<T>>'s borrow/mut() is an assertion, just like Vale's constraint refs.

I would say, that if you’ve a lot of RefCells in your code, then you most likely doing it wrong.

Having just a few RefCells for higher level, bigger structures seems to make more sense. If you get these structures from a RefCell all the further access on them can be statically verified during compile time.

It’s not only about the performance but about the correctness of your code, how easy you can reason about it. The more dynamic checks you have, the less you can be sure about your code.
Windows Server Containers Are Open, and Here’s How You Can Break Out
> (e.g. big company, has track record in industry, has staff with industry experience, has done similar work in the past)

That's the classic CYA, or the "nobody gets fired for buying IBM" adage. I've dealt with procurements for eye watering amounts both in the private and public sector. But no matter how much you struggle to get the good product eventually some hard requirements (either legal or institutional) will be shoved down your throat and you end up with the Accentures of the world.

They must have comparable revenue to the customer. They must have had similar projects going at least 10 years back. They must be able to deliver the service 24/7 in any corner of the world even if we only have one office. You can't say anything about past performance in projects even if it's objectively measurable because it would put one competitor at a disadvantage. So what if Accenture blew the budget by an order of magnitude and delivered a year+ late on every single project they had with you, that's the past, we're starting with a clean slate every time.

Then the contractual conditions can't be harsh enough that even Accenture says "not for us" because that all but guarantees that you have no bidders.

So now every startup is out the window and all you're left are the big ones. And when the project bombs - and bomb it will one way or another, Accenture will guarantee that because they make money by underbidding and then overcharging you through your nose for CRs and fixing what they failed to deliver under one contractual loophole or another - the people in charge from the customer side always have good cover. They picked the best offer. Nobody could have done it better.

This goes hand in hand with Gartner recommendations, the company that came to me with 2 conflicting reports and let me choose which one I want to present to management depending on what version I wanted to push. I laughed them out the door and when going face to face with the higher ups the first thing that came up was "what does Gartner say?". Try answering "anything I want"... They need plausible deniability so you're there to plausibly shield them from the reality of this farce. So you call Gartner back and ask for that report "we first talked about".

Nobody gets fired for buying Accenture (or the likes). They'll just leave in disgust.
Maybe I'm just a moron but when I see framework or libraries like this, I want to see examples like bootstrap. I see nothing on the homepage that shows me what this actually does. Again... Maybe I'm an idiot, but in today's age, everyone wants things visualized. I think showing some examples right off the bat could not only show the benefits of using this, but help explain it better to people like myself. As of now I see no reason to use this.
Mastering the hybrid approach to remote work
> What makes a picture good? Not only because this is a very subjective question it is a hard one to answer.

IMHO, what makes a picture good is a combination of aesthetics and narrative. The idea that the quality of an image is subjective reminds me of Robert Pirsig's pursuit of the notion of "quality" in his two books [1]. Although it is very hard to define the rules that govern what constitutes quality, if you survey enough people they rank simple artifacts like images quite consistently; perhaps differing when the narrative makes a significant contribution.

This post presents some very high quality images. What is missing is the photographic context that contributes to the aesthetics of each image.

I do find it interesting the desire to harm/screw other people over and feel no remorse

I'm not sure this is the driving force here, especially when your description sort of fits the worst psychopaths, and I can think of other principles these people live by which aren't necessarily driven by such 'evil' forces. E.g. desire to survive (==food/shelter) which in modern society usually translates to desire to earn money, see an easy way to do that, feel remorse but ignore it.

Alos, after having talked to so-called tinfoil hatters, it seems that a large part of them genuinely believe all these theories (well, or were extremely good in tricking me into believing they believe) and as such also believe they can actually help people so from their point of view it's not a desire to harm or screw over but rather to help. As crippled as that might seem to others. I.e. do not underestimate the power of the human mind to play tricks on itself, or mental problems in other words.

I've been a regular Outlook user for many years, and honestly I'm pretty happy with it. My only real pain is the lack of ability to easily export/import my mail accounts between machines, but that's something I do only every few years.

I did run Thunderbird on a low-power laptop some years ago, and did like it, but at the time it was nowhere near feature parity with Outlook.

Now, admittedly I'm a skeptic of unions by default (in my view they're mostly just another layer of bureaucracy/waste), but isn't unionization of tech workers in the US the quickest way to make themselves even less desirable?

Why hire a US union member when you can hire an Eastern European who both works for peanuts and doesn't have union hang-ups? (Admittedly outsourcing has its own problems, especially when there are language/cultural barriers)
[__REDACTED__]
These folks from Twitter might suffer from a major disconnection from reality, they burned several bridges of trust over the years and now they just write a small disclaimer about them discovering the hack from this week and the new API apparently does not address issues people had with it in the past (that were used to choke 3rd-party apps). Kudos to the developers working on it directly though, I suppose it takes a lot of effort and the managers responsibilities are not yours to take home but they need to actually regain trust before anything else, no matter how fancy the API is. Some kind of "LTS" or long term contract for the API versions would be a start.
So your argument is "but, but google is doing it, too!"?

I use http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ running locally and connect Thunderbird to it for Exchange email and calendar.
