The president is outright saying "I want to hinder the vote for everyone, across the board"

No, he isn't "outright saying" that. This is the kind of statement that Scott Alexander rightfully criticised some years ago when people started saying Trump is "openly" racist:

Here's an actual quote from him: "Mail-in ballots are very dangerous - there's tremendous fraud involved." That's what he is outright saying.

Mail fraud is not a US specific problem. UK elections have had the same problems. In one case someone who had previously been jailed for mail voting fraud took an Instagram selfie of himself in the counting room. An MP has written an article about mail voting fraud here:

> The article says the initial dissent from the management was due to Covid19 concerns

Here's the arrangement from the Worker's Council to address the concern

>>> How do you ensure the health and safety of participants of the Electoral Board meeting given COVID19?

> Our Health & Safety concept has been drawn up in collaboration with legal experts.

> The venue we selected accommodates up to 500 people with proper physical distancing. N26 Operations GmbH has less than 500 employees, so even if all of them decide to participate, the meeting can go ahead. N26 GmbH has more employees than 500; however, with holidays, illness and travels, we anticipate that not all of them will come to the Electoral Board meeting. In the (very unlikely) event that 500 or more people turn up, the meeting will have to be postponed.

> The contact details of each participant will be collected and kept for the time required by law.

> At the entrance, we will check the identity of each participant to ensure that no unauthorized or external people can enter. On the 13th of August, only employees of N26 Operations GmbH can enter. On the 14th of August, only employees of N26 GmbH can enter.

> If you experience symptoms of a cold, flue and/or COVID19, or you were told to quarantine, please do not come to the meeting! After the Electoral Board is set up, you will still be able to vote for the delegates for the Working Council.

> UPDATE: Someone has called the police to check the safety measures of the meeting. They found no issue and have left the premises.
Overall pretty exaggerated. N26 is against a worker's council, but they are not preventing the employees to form one, and will accept their decision.
Oh they fully delete those? I didn't actually expect messages to be erased when we un-send it.

Technically, there is a native SGML mechanism called link process declaration (without DSSSL) for assigning style properties to document markup. Looks as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html [
<!-- ... declarations
for HTML elements,
attributes ... -->
]>
<!LINKTYPE render
html #IMPLIED [
<!ATTLIST a color
(blue|red) #IMPLIED>
<!LINK #INITIAL
a [ color=blue ]>
]>
<html>
<title>Blue link</title>
<p>this <a href=x.html>
link</a> is rendered
in blue color</p>
</html>

Beyond this trivial example, style properties (link attributes) can be assigned in a context-dependent way for eg even/odd pages in print, or actually capture the largest part of CSS selectors (sans pseudo-attributes such as :hover though which are "magical" in CSS).

I always wondered why people believed we need a distinct property universe for CSS properties when regular HTML attributes are there for this exact purpose (in link processes, attributes reuse regular content attribute declaration syntax).
We use Kanban in my organisation and tickets go through a Analysis phase where the dev spells out the technical details of what they're going to do and then an Analysis review where two other devs will validate the analysis. Then the ticket can move to the implementation phase itself.

It may seem a lot of overhead at first but the team is small and tickets go through these two phases fast.

The analysis can be considered sort of an ad-hoc ADR.

We started this quite recently but it's already useful and did not slow us down.
To side-load an app on an iPhone you need to sign it with a developer certificate (and apple will actually do it for you). You can only run the app if you trust said certificate (you will get a prompt saying something like going in the settings, tapping on the developer name and then tapping "Trust". You would then need to confirm using your passcode/faceid/touchid). It's not like anyone can put apps on your phone and being able to launch them without any friction.

That’s almost certainly not the case.

I found my apartment. The building looks identical to its state today, but the neighborhood feels a lot different. The 1940s version is a barren landscape of street, sidewalk, building. Today we have trees taking up most of the sidewalk. It really changes the character of the neighborhood and I didn't appreciate it as much until I saw the "before" picture.

The other thing I noticed was that the diner on the corner used to be a grandiose church. I have no idea who let them tear that down to build apartments. It probably wouldn't happen today.
Speaking of Web Browsers, I won't be surprised if FB introduces their own browser, this could potentially be so much more dystopian than Chrome it's scary that's a possibility. Chrome is already de facto mandated by some government agencies across the globe by virtue of that their authentication doesn't work in other browsers (not even Chromium in some cases).
Wasn't that what flash/shockwave and similar stacks did back then?

I fully agree, having the web _describe_ what it wants, and the browser render it makes it so much more accessible at least.

The Mauritian article says:

"Before the "Wakashio" ran aground on the reef at Pointe-d'Esny on the evening of July 25, the crew was celebrating the birthday of one of its members. This was reported by three crew members of the bulk carrier to Central Criminal Investigation Department (CCID) investigators.

They also stated that the bulk carrier had approached the island to pick up a wi-fi connection. Seven others made the same statement to investigators from Mauritius Shipping. These seamen initially made a history of their voyage which started in China to Australia and then another route from China, with a stopover in Singapore, before heading for Brazil.

It was on this route that the bulk carrier crossed the territorial waters of Mauritius. The crew of about 20 consists of three Indian nationals, sixteen Filipinos and one Sri Lankan. The "Wakashio" was under the responsibility of Captain Sunil Kumar Nandeshwar, a 58-year-old Indian national. They are represented by Mr. Kushal Lobine and Mr. Irsaad Munsoor, lawyers for the insurers of the Protection and Indemnity Club."
> N26's co-founders Valentin Stalf and Maximilian Tayenthal have argued for an alternative, saying they believe the traditional German works council excludes international employees

This is patently false. I work at a medium-sized startup in Berlin, which is very international, with many of my colleagues speaking little German. We have recently created a Works Council (with support from the management) - and the council includes non-german speakers. It is certainly more work, as the work of the council involves a lot of german law - so training and documents need to be translated - however it is possible, and we have nothing even close to the resources of N26.
Sure, I'm not disputing that. In fact I think that proves my point.

There are languages (C++, Rust) where you can write your own, safe formatting library just using the language. It's a world away from printf.

Compared to that, parent comment says that in D the compiler has to have checks for formatting built in to it and compares it to printf. Yuk!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that someone who runs three companies might not be an entirely typical case or all that predictive of how things work for someone who runs one company.

Not doubting your word, but it seems like if you've got 3 cofounders distributed across 2 companies that's going to create a lot more "fires" for you or at least generalized urgency.

That's beyond stupid. It's fintech. Always on the brink of being regulated to death, a highly sensitive area. They need every inch of goodwill from politics and the public they can get. Fighting against worker unionization is already highly unpopular in Germany and will cost them a bunch of customers, and will cause them to lose political favor. Now adding ver.di (one of the strongest unions) to their enemies, what are they thinking? Do they have no clue how politically connected and powerful those unions are? They are now completely branded as untrustworthy and stupid.

Also completely invalidates their defense for the first restraining order, citing health risks. That was covered the moment ver.di took over the organization of the meeting.

I don't think Apple is necessarily running out of money...

And it's bit ironic you call it a tax when clearly Apple isn't a big fan of paying taxes themselves. I know, it's not a very good argument but I don't think the stakes are as dire as you make them to be.

They could separate the fee as fee paid for the Apple Store and the fee paid for maintaining the ecosystem. So if you build your own App Store you can avoid paying the Apple Store fee but have to pay the maintenance fee. Which should be reasonable amount, eg 10%. They get so many synergies either way and surely run a great profit in both cases. And if they will get a little less money than currently, boo-hoo.
I never got in to Factorio, though I'd been tempted several times. I recently bought the early-access Satisfactory though which is a similar game type, mostly to support the developers (Coffee Stain) who make another game I quite enjoy (Deep Rock Galactic).

The refactoring bit hits hard, how do you structure your factory to minimise time/cost/space, can you increase throughput, do the outputs line up where you need them, how do you ensure a sufficient power supply, etc.?

It's because the botnet pages themselves contains data which Google considers spam (unrelated topics, link farms, ad pages, porn etc).

Google then lowers the rankings (or removes the blogs from Google). All they have to do is run an update script to update all the domains with the blog link, and Google lowers their rankings.
The "can't check everything yourself, or even a tiny amount of things" argument applies to everything. It's even more work to verify - for example - a small segment of a real hour-long Trump rally, carefully chopped off in the middle of a sentence to push a bullshit interpretation of what's being said, like I caught Snopes doing a while back.

Hell, even text suffers from this problem. Back when the UK (briefly) hit their target of 100,000 Covid-19 tests a day, the BBC News website pushed a bullshit claim that Germany was already averaging that many a month earlier. This played well into all the existing narratives about British exceptionalism, Brexit, inferiority to Europe, and the incompetence of our Covid response. It was also trivially verifiable as untrue - the German testing numbers were up on the RKI testing website, in English, and not only were they nowhere near that a month earlier, they were still well below it when the BBC published that claim. Someone at the BBC had mistaken the number of tests German labs had the capacity to process a day for the actual number of tests, which was particularly bad since literally every other part of Germany's testing process was more of a bottleneck than lab capacity. The BBC then kept this claim up and prominently linked to the article it was in on their front page for a month after they knew it was untrue. A large proportion of the UK population probably saw it. How many people do you think spotted the error? (They've since decided that because they've memory-holed it, they don't have to append a correction.)

> "I don't believe in something that we both agree is false, but I'm mad at you, so I'm going to punish you by changing my belief system and believing in it."

That is not what I believe at all. believe it or not. I have more in common with islamists, than neo-marxists. So called leftists have a cultural war against anyone just slightly conservative, but if I join islam, I am untouchable, you can't critique me, or you are a bigot!

> Also, you made it perfectly clear that you're homophobic by writing a sentence that begins with "I have absolutely nothing against homosexuals, but ..." You can stop right there. You already gave away the game.

What kind of argumentation is that?! I am just saying that I am not against religious freedom either. Why should homosexuals demand that religious doctrines are changed in their favor? Its childish, don't you understand?

Why would you even perform a ritual like marriage, when it clearly isn't meant for you? Marriage is an agreeement to reproduce and take care off the offspring. Homosexual relations are not really fruitful. A long time ago, the only way to get a divorce was if you couldn't make new babies...

I am really beginning to understand why religions are so anti-gay and anti degeneracy in general. Its is a necessity for a long term functional society. I am so tired of all this homo-fascism. Feel free to do what ever you want, go be proud and parade while you stay in the back of the parade (POC first you know!) smear shit all over your selves in front of kids, and drink piss and eat cum I don't give a fuck, just leave me out of it. (And yes I have seen all of this at pride ralleys)
That's a very carefully worded statement to avoid giving evidence on a silver platter of the crime in § 119 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 BetrVG

1. interfering with an election to the works council, the youth and trainee delegation, the ship’s committee, the fleet works council or the representative bodies of the employees referred to in section 3 (1), clause 1 to 3 or 5, or influencing such elections by inflicting or threatening reprisals or granting or promising incentives

I think they meant "international employees" as in "employees of non-german N26 Subsidiaries", not "non-german speaking employees of german-N26 entities".

Which, of course, is also a laughably bad argument, since there's nothing that prevents N26 from voluntarily granting those employees similar protections they'd enjoy if they were employed in Germany.

Actually they could include non German employees in their works agreements. But none the less these binding agreements are, as far as I am aware, only binding for German work contracts. So even if these protections were written down, that wouldn't protect the international colleagues.as long as they are not employed in a German legal entity.

Our works council for example isn't able to represent our Czech colleagues.

I concur with moritonal; although you can easily spend hundreds to thousands of hours in Factorio, it is much, much easier to put down. Unlike with MMOs, the game offers you no incentive for logging back in regularly.

Try it and see how you feel after ~2 hours of gameplay.
This does ring true but stop everything isn’t the right answer either. Maybe rather a slowdown and less niche stuff. I mean the whole point of a browser is that it’s pretty generic and universal.

The trend to make everything an app annoys me more (ie each news service, Reddit etc). Whole point of a browser is to avoid that.
A much more general solution would be a neural net that can alter gaze. Integrate with eye tracking and it becomes even better. Only the user you are looking at would see your direct gaze. Other users would see you looking towards the user you are looking at.

For dev environments, the performance hit would be IMO acceptable, for prod you can generate routes already to not have to parse routes/web.php.

In theory if you have APCu or any other cache setup, you can use that to store routing information outside PHP, or just write it into a file. So only the first access is slow, then no longer and you can still manually scan if you can't find a function, controller or if you don't know the file involved.

It would atleast make code a lot cleaner.
I recently rolled off a sweet FinTech project with a Fortune 500 bank’s Emerging Technologies team which has the best ADR implementation I’ve seen thus far.

Just fyi, these ADRs, written in Markdown, are kept in separate repo with special Markdownlint rules applied to ensure consistent formatting. But what made this team’s ADR implementation stand out to me were not the technical details of how they were maintained, but rather the SOPs they’d strictly adhered to.

In essence, they had a very academic perspective on ADRs, viewing them more like a potentially publishable white-paper- not necessarily in terms of length or formality, but procedurally. The rule we followed was that a spike should lead to an ADR, which made writing an ADR much more of a build-measure-learn cycle and kept quality high, since authors weren’t scrambling to remember their entire thought process after the fact. This also greatly improved the quality of the spikes themselves, as we spent less time falling down rabbit holes. Basically, a spike became strictly a determination of either feasibility or implementation, with an explicit record of that the determination and the way in which it was made, as well as the other trade-offs considered.
So if you wanted to sell a phone in China, where you couldn’t use Google Play Services anyway, or you were one of the world’s most valuable companies who could afford to rewrite all of Google Play dependencies, you were set?

Are you also as lenient about iOS? Since the core of it is open source? WebKit?

The EU doesn’t agree with you. They ruled against Google for its practices. Google wouldn’t let a manufacturer both sell a phone using an Android fork that didn’t used Google Play Services and sell a phone that did.
I'm in my thirties too and I'm not at all amazed by the way MS evolved. The three MS open source offerings I have tried where MS has something that resembles a non open source competitor - Azure MySQL, Azure Postgres and WSL are all horrendously slow (I'd go as far as to say deliberately crippled). It's a trap.

Every time they've released something big as open source or on Linux (e.g. .NET/vscode) it's been something where they're losing ground quickly and fighting off irrelevance.

Moreover it's just as irritating as ever to get Linux installed on laptops (the OEM stranglehold is still there).

I am amazed that Microsoft did a PR push on how they've turned 5 or so years around and people bought it. They acknowledged some new realities but they didn't fundamentally change tactics. They still (correctly) view open source as a threat to their profits and act accordingly.
