That was my point: correlation is not causation.

There are a lot of words that ends in oma, not all of them are cancer names.

Just a few from an Italian dictionary

- perizoma (thong)

- policroma (multi-coloured)

- genoma (genome)

- diploma (I think it's diploma as well in English)

I guess the confusion comes from the suffix -òma [Greek -ωμα] + ώματος
which reads as matos (ò-matos -> oma) and means different things in scientific terminology

- in medical terms indicates a swelling like ematoma (bruise) or a type of cancer (you know that)

- in biology it means a functional unit (condrioma the set of all the mitochondrion)

Pleroma, instead, comes from the verb πληρόω (it reads plero)

Why didn't every company in every industry hire women to save money 50 years ago? You seem to be begging the question at issue by simply assuming that sexism doesn't still exist now.

After reading all the comments of the UX experts here I almost feel that I need to apologise to have enjoyed this list of nice cards over a list of bullet points.
When someone reads the above comment and thinks 'Oh well, it is a risk the user is willing to take by using these apps in an Authoritarian regime' should think again.

Targeting users who rely upon secure apps is becoming common in flawed democracies as well and more countries are eager to join that list. Several people, including minors were arrested in Kashmir when police found VPN app on their mobile during routine checks[0]. Government's logic being 'Why use VPN, if you are not a terrorist?'

At the same time journalists, activists are heavily dependent upon secure apps like this to make their voice heard outside, all the more reason for all of us who are lucky to not have gestapo knocking our doors because we used a VPN to watch PornHub to make usage of such secure apps (messaging, email, VPN etc.) very common.

Gant charts can be used as a "living document" presenting the latest estimates. While individual task can deviate from the estimations the bigger picture view can be a nice rough estimate. I dont get the hate of the "YOU CANT PREDICT ANYTHING!1!1!" agile crowd subset. Getting good at predictions and dealing with deviations is what project management is all about, using tools that help you in this process is much advised.

After Effects also has a competitor with Cavalry now. Beta is out now.

Adobe is the Autodesk or 2D world. I’ve heard they don’t even have Dev teams in the US anymore, for the most part they have teams in India. Profit maximisation at its worst, since now they no longer deliver meaningful updates to their software. I haven’t had a significant update for Premiere/After Effects that made any sense in at least half a decade. If you go into reddit/r/editors you’ll see it’s full of people working their way out of Premiere, which is garbage software.

Spain was an openly fascist country that made the transition into a covertly fascist one in the late 70s. It wasn't the democratic forces who forced the transition, it was the fascists who half-conceded it because they wanted a halo of legitimacy in the international stage.
How to Design Microservices Architecture?
Even if that kind of neutrality is not achievable it has been practiced by journalists for the longest time and they tried their best.

Should we forego every trial because no judge can be impartial? The argument is lacking.

That impartiality doesn't lead to economic success and sustainability for outlets is another story of course.

Cross checking is required even if journalists wouldn't be as active in framing stories of course.
Evidence for this? Tech overall is in the news more than nursing, but there are many stories about male nurses in the mainstream media every year.

I don't get your comment. If its more expensive and much quicker, then this doesn't sound like a fair comparision at all or alternative.
What does "multiple interlocking personal email accounts from multiple providers" mean?

Just to be clear, regarding the "being cloud-first is still obviously correct", your stance is that it's ok for your access to your life's work being at the discretion a company? (Presumably one you trust.) Not saying you're wrong here, just curious how people who are all-in on the cloud think about this.
>There are some popular methods out there like calling `feh --fill-bg` continuously in a bash loop but it sends your CPU usage to an astronomical 40% which drains the laptop battery pretty quickly

Is this true when you have a loop that sleeps for 5 minutes before calling it again? I've always set my wallpapers this way. It's also similar to what I do on Sway. The only alternative I've found is simple enough and still works is using an ad-hoc systemd timer task.

Edit: nevermind, I forgot this is about animated wallpapers. I use a while loop + feh for setting a static wallpaper that changes every 5 minutes.
I wouldn't call it extortion. The music industry doesn't produce the same quality or number of quality songs it once did. There hasn't even been any substantially new genres in two decades. It's much, much harder to make it big as an independent artist these days. Besides the monetization problem, which is a big one, you also have a big discovery problem. There's a lot of things competing for people's time and attention and you have to compete with all the other songs in people's large streaming libraries to make a fraction of what you would have from CD sales two decades ago.

> One idea that I have is for a laptop manufacturer to develop a chassis that comes with a high-resolution display and a high-quality keyboard (like those of older ThinkPads), and where the user can supply an Intel Compute Stick or a similar device for computing power. This way the chassis can be used for a long time while the user upgrades compute sticks.

I have been thinking about this and I can see this as being one potential path for the future of personal computing, with phones (unfortunately) being the Compute Stick equivalents. If phone manufacturers made them more upgradable, I may even welcome this; however I don't see them jumping at that anytime soon.
One compromise is to find a news source that is at least open about its bias. The Economist is a famous example of this: it will openly declare support (and opposition) for particular political candidates and policies.
Numbers are objective, and all too often I see them manipulated in rather creative ways to paint a picture. It is certainly possible to present the hard numbers of a scientific paper as an easily digestible article without picking out only the more convenient ones.

> No one is 100% unbiased

No, and every journalist should know that and keep their own bias in mind when writing. One can have an opinion and still present a plausible alternative.
The gold standard around these parts is purported to be Tekla Structures. No affiliation, just a structural steel guru who’s happy to work with the fabrication drawings it spits out.

I can spot Autodesk fabrication draws a mile away. Either the steel detailers don’t know how to configure it properly, it, as I suspect, it’s a steaming pile of dumpster fires.

I used Autocad for 2D CAD quite a bit, and I don’t see the appeal. There are competing products at a fraction of the cost.
GPT-4
If people didn’t use Autodesk’s software I wouldn’t have to pay a surreal amount of money to use their binary API so my cad program can write DWG.

But the fact is DWG is the de facto standard in so many engineering disciplines, and that probably won’t change.
The format is also so convoluted and complex that I doubt even Autodesk could ever write a new implementation of it. If someone succeeds, they will still keep changing it slightly every year, so a third party implementation would always be slightly behind.

This type of moat is exactly the type of moat every business dreams of and tries to create, and the only reason it’s bad when Autodesk does it is because they are so big it actually hurts competition on a large scale.

I can’t see a good “open” replacement for DWGs (DXF, IFC, ...) on the horizon, sadly.

Non-skilled employees are for a tough ride as a crisis is when most people loses their jobs, and it is when it is more difficult to find a new one.

But, this is appalling news for many highly specialized employees. Many of them had a career in fly-related fields.

To have skills on an industry that suddenly disappears under your feet is the nightmare of any skilled worker.

The software industry slowly re-invents itself, and one needs to keep up to date. But, it has never been such a turning point so fast and that seems that is going to last for long.
As far as modelling goes you can now model in almost anything you want (Blender/Maya/whatever).

Maya is the default for animation pipelines, since it has the more robust animation tools.

Houdini is for FX and sims, and Houdini is STUNNING in its development speed at the moment. Each of their software updates has 100+ features a year, and these are complex overhauls or entire new toolkits. I don’t know anyone in 3D who isn’t salivating at what’s going on with SideFX and Houdini.
> Rupert Murdoch is surely one of the most elite of the elites and his vast media empire has managed to brainwash certain folks into calling his vision "populism" due strictly to his outreach efforts.

It's also possible you have the arrow of causality reversed. Murdoch's media could just be printing what that "the proles" want to hear.
Obviously being against the common trend is always going to get more attention, but it makes no sense to assume that those people are wrong strictly because of that.

The fact that vaccines are widely used doesn't make anti-vax stupid. Anti-vax is stupid, because a lot of real research has gone into vaccines, and they really do work. The arguments anti-vaxers use are not based on reality, and can easily be proven wrong. The same can NOT be said about programming paradigms.

There is no proof that OOP produces more elegant, simpler, higher quality software with smaller programming effort than other paradigms. OOP isn't proven to work; it's proven to be an attractive choise
> Calling it a "trust token" is gaslighting

It's a token for gauging trust. What else would you call it?

The way "gaslighting" is used today, it's lost all possible meaning.
I think the author is reading way too much into the word "tech". Using general words to abbreviate specific concepts is pretty common in English. Gas usually refers to a specific fuel used in cars (gasoline) even though it is also referring to a much broader category that describes a state of matter and any material in that state. This leads to situations where words Autogas and gas refer to completely different things.

The word tech has a colloquial meaning which doesn't actually stand for technology in general. Tech actually stands for a very narrow form of technology namely information technology. In other languages you see the exact opposite. Instead of using a broad category to abbreviate a specific meaning the abbreviation is actually based around the meaning of the word itself. Information technology isn't "Techno" in German, it's "Informatik". In French it is "Informatique". In Italian its "Informatica".

This article is primarily a complaint about the English language than about "tech" itself.

I'm not a fan of the left-right dichotomy; it's a kind of shorthand derived from historical reasons, which encourages tribalism.

Even to take it at face value, 'left' and 'right' are only directions, not absolute positions. There is no objective centre.
The Cinema 4D licensing changed to subscription which caused many people to look for alternatives.

I'm not arguing against Blender being an alternative eventually, it has great features. It's just not there yet as a complete replacement. For me at least.
> This is incorrect. It is fairly trivial to create a ringtone of up to thirty seconds from any track you have in iTunes

It never occurred to me that iTunes should be required for anything, seeing as I haven’t used that piece of software for 10+ years. I suspect that applies to most iPhone owners these days as well.

As such this is trivial in the same way finding the news about the interstellar highway in “Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy” is trivial. That is, not at all.

And I have such traumatic memories about iTunes with it randomly wiping my iPhone several times a month 10 years back, there’s no fucking way I’m ever going to use that software again.

This needs to be solvable on the iPhone itself.
> monthly expenses eat 60-80% of take home salary

How? There are many places around the world that at first world and where you can save 50+% of your (market) salary after all expenses. Maybe you’re underpaid in a very high COL area?

Also, friendly but unsolicited advice: if you base your happiness on other’s perception of you and your achievements, you’ll never ever be happy. There will always be someone judging you and deeming you inferior and/or someone who is way better at something than you are.
> one of the earliest pieces of advice I saw was to turn off the computer monitor while writing in order to avoid editing prematurely

I do this by closing my eyes while writing. Makes the writing more descriptive and easier to imagine big scenes with a lot of color and vibrance. Using the 10 finger writing system, I am really fast doing this.

Asylum seekers are not allowed to work. I don’t like that they’re not allowed to work, but that’s really the fault of the British government for passing laws that say they’re not allowed to work.

More evidence that you never know, there is no such thing as a secure position so if you're dreaming of starting your own thing or venturing into something more unsecure, there is no reason to wait (unless you're saving up for it, or something like that)!

If you have the possibility you should definitely reach for it, the greatest risk in life is to never have tried to achieve your dreams.
Right — we'll solve that problem once we have it. Do you know how other platforms (Wordpress, Notion, etc) handle it?

Would it not be possible that through quarantine of infected people we "outbreed" the dangerous strains of covid19? People with symptoms going to be isolated, so their strain of the virus can not infect as much people as a hypothetical other strain which don´t produce symptoms... just an idea.
A few brief points:

I also grew up during Napster & Co., but it's really not that hard to recognize that albums exist and aren't really tied to a specific medium. You can buy them as digital downloads, on CD or vinyl.

As someone who loves albums and regards EPs let alone singles as a lesser, rushed and not particularly worthwhile format, let me assure you that you don't have to pay for things you don't want. The trick is to buy strong albums that avoid filler content and don't need to rely on a single hit.
I admit that it takes effort to find the gems in a sea of mediocrity, but in absolute numbers there are more great albums than ever in addition to the ones you might have missed in the past. I'd say anyone claiming that there isn't any fantastic, album-worthy music isn't looking hard enough.
How is it better than Notion then?
We don't have reliable information for how many people die in China per week, so we can't compare.

for me as a self-declared european conservative (in the history of the social(isty)-centrist-catholic parties) this page gives hope that the USA, even if currently split in between wars of oil, race and money might still have the potential to become, what it once was: a beacon of light for any honest, community-oriented and republican (in the most basic sense) democrat.

> I want somebody to just report and not tilt it in one direction.

This is unfortunately not possible. Even if an outlet only providing objective, verifiable facts there is some angle or bias in what facts you chose to report and what issues you chose to investigate.
Viruses have mutations all the time in random places in their genome, in fact in the course of an infection you have a "quasispecies" of viruses in your body with a diversity of different genomes, but most of those mutations don't do anything relevant. Think of someone modifying a // comment in your code or adding/removing an empty if clause somewhere. In some viruses, mutation is very relevant to fighting the disease, e.g. for HIV it's immensely large. But for the Coronavirus the mutation rate is rather low, and even though it does mutate, no variant has been discovered yet that's functionally different to already existing variants.

The main reason for why Coronaviruses don't mutate much is because they don't have to. While influenza constantly comes up with mutations so that it can come back seasonally, it seems that Coronaviruses take a different approach by evading adaptive immunity instead. E.g. feline Coronaviruses can infect cats over and over again, without large increases in ability for cats to fight it. That's also the case a bit for SARS-Cov-2, there are reports of humans getting infected a second time, but they are rather rare reports, we'd have far more of them if humans had no good adaptive immunity.
Speak for yourself, I pay for Netflix grumpily!

But jokes aside I stopped paying for my last newspaper subscriptions some time ago because I just didn't find the time to read and thought they were developing in a wrong direction.

I think Netflix TV shows have some kind of normalized content that I would fear would be mirrored if the service existed for news.
I never saw the point of this, or Active Desktop back in the day.

But the last three releases of Fedora and Gnome have had a sort of animated wallpaper. It's actually just an XML file that defines times and image files for each time. And it's used to darken the wallpaper when the sun sets.

I use the default one that ships with Fedora but the XML file is straightforward and it's simple to make your own.

One thing that will make me use more advanced desktop features is definitely alleviating eye strain.

In that vein, using a CLI tool to check up on Gitlab pipelines is another recent development. Switching back and forth between a dark solarized terminal and a bright Gitlab Firefox window was becoming annoying.

(I know there are lots of CSS tricks you can do in FF to force dark styles on websites but I try to keep my setup as vanilla as possible to ease its management.)
While I have found the majority of my interactions with Haskell (and ML family languages) deeply satisfying, I have never really used Lens in anger, having been put off each time I've tried to get into it. Although, I remain slightly simpathetic since - as you say - there is some theory underlying it all.

I may be mistaken, but I think I have seen a handful of "Lens-lite" type libraries for use in production since it's such a large library, which seems.. uh.. suboptimal.
