ASP.net probably changes less, I agree. But .net core was a huge change though, kind of a new framework right? new runtime even.
Save As > Plain SVG or Optimized SVG should remove the things you don't need. You tend to have control over everything else directly in Inkscape.

decibels isn't the main advantage of 5400 over 7200. The lower frequency makes it both less loud to the human ear and subjectively less "annoying"
Fundamentally I agree but only if choosing to do both, not either or.

To truly reverse the emissions an individual or company has, Carbon Removal is really the only way.

Carbon credits _can_ encourage businesses to reduce their emissions (and if a company has money to help - great!) but reducing a third-parties emissions is not a green-light to justify my own wrongdoings.

If I emit a ton and pay credits to offset a ton, a ton is still out there. If I emit a ton and remove a ton I am at net zero emissions.

The Berlin DPO stated that Microsofts Data Processing Addendum is not Compliant with GDPR (second link) so wherever it is applied you are also non compliant as data controller.

Ok this is all heavy on Microsoft and I am not stating that any other company is better off. The bottom line is this:
US Law violates the basic human rights guaranteed by the EU - there is no appeal for non-US citizens and the "full take" of all data is disproportionat.
If you can not shield EU citizens from the regarding US Laws you can't use an US Service.

Thats the consequence from the CJEU ruling.
Reminds me of what clojure spec is trying to do: create data specifications that can be named and reused via a registry. The metadata is just data on the shape of the data so it can serve as doc, validation, data generation, property testing, etc. Spec names are namespaced but no specific guidelines are given it's just organizational.

Separately clojure also allows for namespaced names for map entries, but again provides no specific guidelines on what namespaces should be: in code this could be a library name, but it could also be an entity name as suggested by datomic best practices.

The combination of both features, namespaced var/entry names associated with namespaced specs, seems to make more sense than using name parts conventions, but if you're not clojure all the way then the latter might be the only way.
Isn't ActionScript just a dialect of EcmaScript? I would guess transitioning from that to Javascript would be pretty easy.

I know a 500x developer. He is not proud, because he knows somebody else who codes 10x faster. This other person wears out several keyboards before his CPU is obsolete.

If programming were really engineering, you would need 20 years to be Senior. A Senior Engineer keeps the organization from making disastrous mistakes and unnecessarily complicated designs.

Since the title was squatted, actually-senior programmers are being called Principal Engineers. Do not make the mistake of calling yourself a "Principle Engineer".
I do. (Frontier FIOS, Southern California) I pay for 150Mb/s up/down and always get those speeds, even at peak times. (I don't get the full speed on my wireless devices, 100BaseT ethernet devices, or network over USB 2.0 devices) I pay $90-$95 per month. (this is a residential ISP, not a commercial one. Commercial ISPs typically have a SLA and "up to" is well defined in the contract if it's applicable at all.)

I have independently 'discovered' the relation between novelty, the momentary feeling of time passing and the retrospective feeling of time passed when I was a teenager.

They go in opposite directions:

- novelty -> time flies in the moment but seems much expanded when you remember it

- boring and repetitive activity -> time seems to crawl in the moment but in memory it seems to vanish

Another way to increase the subjective feeling of time is to be a parent.
I have no idea what is going on, but I LOVE it.

You might want to try Boxy SVG [1]. Its UI is heavily inspired by Inkscape.

It tries to use as little non-standard namespaces as possible, e.g. check [2] for a comparison of the markup you get after creating a new file and drawing a single rectangle.

The app uses Chromium rendering engine under the hood, so most files should render the same way as when opened with Chrome.

If you are in the USA you are possibly missing some of the subtle context here. Waitrose has been a hot topic in the news this summer in the U.K., as it has just finished a divorce from its erstwhile on-line delivery company Ocado. This has resulted in a lot of "Waitrose" news. It has also resulted in things such as quite close to attack advertisements running on Classic FM, reported to me by a relative, both a shock to hear on the rather tame Classic FM and quite close to the boundaries of the Advertising Standards Authority broadcast code of practice.

* https://marketingweek.com/waitrose-marketing-campaign-ocado/

* https://asa.org.uk/type/broadcast/code_section/03.html

This was another not really "Waitrose" story. The brand here, common to all of the stories, is Clarence Court, and it is sold in multiple supermarkets. Notice that the story about Francesca Anker from Kenilworth didn't bother quoting the supermarket at all, unlike the BBC, and quoted M. Anker (who had something to say on the subject of keeping drakes around in a free-range farm, that would have informed commentary in this very discussion) and "a Clarence Court spokesman". The Daily Mail did a better job of reporting this than the BBC.

I wouldn't say the music industry is out to do anything but make money - however - 'shocking' makes more money.

'WAP' - was designed to break through the noise by being crude and shocking - a title that I literally cannot write :), and almost on cue, had a 'GOP Congressman' talking about the 'Godlessness' of it all, playing perfectly into the hands of the labels. Like comedy.

But it's a horrible song, because it's not meant to be one - it's more of a 'audio meme' meant to accompany the visuals media stars who made it. The press was more than happy to glom onto it for social reasons.

This is pretty toxic to music and 'driven' by the labels, though not specifically for any purpose other than making money.

MTV however - has always had a 'social change agenda' as part of their ethos.

Most of the best music is accompanied by something 'new' and possibly a little bit rebellious, but generally not 'shocking'. It seems every big artists curates an image, but usually it did not overshadow the music.

Since social media however, I'm not so sure. LadyGaga, however talented, seems to have always been 'visual first'.

The top 40, while always mostly crap, did have a lot of gems, it was guarded by people with 1/2 decent taste in music and there were always indies.

Now there's much, much more noise.
A key difference between bangladesh and the US is that the white majority in the US is not indigenous but is the outcome of a colonial project in which the indigenous population has already been marginalized. Far right opposition to immigration is rooted in a concept of native identity that requires the conceptual erasure of prior indigenous populations to a safe historical distance. the proponents of such policy are in my experience deeply antagonistic to native Americans in the here and now on both a personal and policy level.

But the left has completely lost its marbles in treating any opposition to immigration (or even total opposition to immigration) as an illegitimate fringe idea as opposed to a policy option. That completely fails to understand what a country is.

But you're relying on a definition of 'country' that's rooted in ethnic essentialism, something very different from the nominal values o which the US was founded. I get that you're* arguing in favor of a cultural rather than ethnic identity, which is a very nice idea; but it overlooks the fact that the more hardline someone's 'cultural identitarian' position, the more likely it is to be a proxy for European ethnic identity that turns out to exclude non-white (eg ask a European identitarian about Romani people and see what sort of reaction you get).

It seems to me that there are some glaring contradictions in the broad conservative ruralism which you're articulating which don't stand up well to closer examination.
Where was the lesson in 'if only we screw up bad enough we will be showered perpetually in lavish bailout wealth'?
I wish that this helped. But my job title is programmer, and managing the 5 other people is just a side task. And there's so much work that the team is always split on several different projects. So in theory delegation sounds like a good idea, but I don't have spare capacity to delegate to. Nor do I have control of which projects we prioritize, those are coming from the CEO and CTO, and head of product -- one major project each.

I've known since university I'm bad at delegating things. Do I just have to learn by doing it?

Finally, what do you mean by IC? I'm pretty sure I'm not an integrated circuit, but I've never gotten the head X-ray to check for sure.

Barclays does it well: they check and warn but still allow a transaction if names don't match. Santander does it badly: they check and fail, with no way to get around the system if names don't match.

Barclays generally does great UX and Santander sucks, so the above comes as no surprise whatsoever...

A lot more stuff on Netflix, but a complete dirth of creativity in Theaters. No more rom-coms, woody allen type things.

The budgets are now huge, and globally focused, and the 'lowest common denominator' of the world audience is very low. Stories have to be able to work across cultures.

So you get things like 'Transformers' which don't even have a plot. Just big, long, action sequences. Hardly any dialogue. Works well for the plebes in the US - but also Qatar, Lebanon, Malaysia, China, France, Brazil etc..
As others said, the difference is very significant.

Real-time systems show up especially in industrial control and safety systems. For example, take a logging harvester, which cuts down trees and strips their branches and bark. It has a control panel for moving incredibly violent, dangerous machinery. It is truly critical that you can guarantee that, for example, sensors which detect a problem can abort something within a very tight latency budget.

Quadro 8000 has 48GB and costs ~$5,300, so it's a much better value than V100.
Which we’ve increasingly moved away from because of some of the absurdities (and security problems) that it’s caused.

Nowadays the w3c and es committees work hard to try and ensure no ambiguity is left in the spec, and have tests available early on, and do interop comparisons between engines to see if there’s anything missed.
Examples of Cryptocurrency projects that were marketed well?
No, it did not. There are plenty of entirely independent benchmarks showcasing Nvidia's advantage. As far as I'm concerned Nvidia has honest and deserved reason to say they currently produce the best GPUs both for both gaming and compute workloads.

I'm sure that eGPU enclosure manufacturers will eventually produce models fully compatible with GeForce RTX 30 series.

The same activities, lack of copyright, harboring fugitives etc were how the US got its start, to the consternation of the then dominant superpower. From Lowell’s theft of the spinning mills to Dickens’ (and Tolkien‘s) complaints about lack of copyright, the US didn’t care until it was on top.

Not to defend the British whose IP was being pilfered, they’d done the same in their turn.

It was ever thus.

There is something more to be said for the premium we put on time. We've adopted apt phrases like time is money. And it tends to be described with words like priceless, valuable, precious.

The relationship we've created with time makes us want to rush through things quickly. This is where the "time flies" feeling can come from. It actually makes us less resourceful and less productive. By placing less of a premium on time we widen our options in all things - life and work included.
I agree. I was seated next to a guy with a small kid, so naturally he got sick all the time. And then I got sick as well

I usually tell people to go home if they are sick, but some of them are too proud and say "I'm fine". Since I'm not the manager, I can't force them, but I think I'll switch to home office when those scenarios happen again

Any other suggestions how to deal with those situations?

My previous apartment building was secured by electronic badges, several camera, and security sitting 50m away (they didn’t have a direct line or sight though). No one stored their bikes longer that 4–6 months there before getting theirs stolen. Thieves would go behind people when the door was being operated and in the case of the parking garage used a van and just fit the rack off, or for the upstairs bike room cut the locks and loaded the bikes in their van just outside the back.

It took very little time, it was all on camera, the police never did anything. I’m actually pretty sure it was the same thief hitting the building every time because the MO was the same. It was actually safer to lock your bike anywhere else than these purpose built bike rooms.

Cameras don’t do anything at all, and neither does the police. Thieves know it.

But a stolen car? The police will be very interested and keep looking.
> Base58 isn't suitable for general purpose encoding though as its performance degrades exponentially based on the length of the input.

This comment only applies to a naive scheme. There are various ways to avoid performance degradation with a minimal overhead; grouping characters so that they can represent (only slightly more than) the integral number of full bits is frequent.
