Can two windows overlap? Or are they just opened full-screen or inside a tile side-by-side?

If not, then I don't like that very much. For example the calculator: I don't want it to take 1/3 or 1/4 of the screen. It's like going back into a 35 years ago pre DESQview era.

Edit: nevermind. "In Material Shell windows are tiled. These means they are organised in a predictable way in which they do not overlap".

I guess I like my windows to be not predictable, whatever that means.
OP edited their comment, after I had already replied, from "taxing landlords" to "taxing high-income people (which may include some landlords)" so you missed that earlier nuance.

>There are disadvantages to both and in particular duplicating dependencies should be seen as a short-term fix for a transition, not something you do routinely.

If you don't duplicate versions then you will have to wait for every single library in existence to update to the latest major version. This can take decades and still fail. Just take a look at Python 3.

“Coronavirus is a man-made virus”: Whistleblower speaks out about CCP role
I will probably be going against the grain here, but I managed to rent a flat by myself while in university years ago with a part time job in a supermarket at weekends and applying for some hardship funds and other money available at the time.

Rents have risen a lot since then, but is it really impossible for someone in work to be able to afford rent? Or are they insisting on living in a fashionable part of town? (For me independence from my parents was quite a high priority in those days).
I think it’s an optimization problem and incentives problem. We should be reevaluating level of funding over time, otherwise government organizations will grow indefinitely, but here’s where the incentives come in play, who would be interested in doing this evaluation gradually and with the backing of data? I believe the latter depends on the society and the politics.
Sure. I would go a step further - just don’t post any photos of these sorts of documents ever. The risk and reward ratio is too skewed.

How to Publish Your First Rails API to Heroku
Yes, the experience is just as nice on Linux, assuming you're using CMake to generate your Makefile. When you run the cmake generate command, you just need to add one option to specify the location of your vcpkg directory. Of course the same applies on Windows if you're using CMake to generate your Visual Studio project, except that you'll probably want to specify the triplet on the command line too (the default one is 32-bit).

Footnote: If you're doing this on Windows and want static linking then the experience is less smooth. You still need to specify the vcpkg directory and triplet (x64-windows-static), but that doesn't automatically change your application's CRT to the static one (which all your libraries are now assuming). There are a couple of ways round this but the easiest is probably to use MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY CMake property (requires at least CMake 3.15, which is pretty new).

or worse, as a failure.
Ending aging would only serve to make the rich immortal while the poor still suffer. I think it would create the biggest distance between the common folk and the elite that history has ever known.

Even if such technology would be available to the entire world, it would still not solve the issue of overpopulation and the pollution associated with it.

Why invest into making a few thousand immortal when you can help billions with much simpler anti-malaria programs?
Wasn't that the point of jigsaw?
Yes, it's true, but it depends on what your needs are. For example, in my case, as a developer, I prefer not to spend any money on Office software and instead get a higher end CPU.
> "While moving back home during the pandemic makes sense and is seen as socially acceptable or even smart, it also means you are living with people who still see you as your 18-year-old self."

I feel that this is the case for many people and in other contexts. If you develop a lot during say two years of employment, then depending on who your manager is, you may still be seen in the same way as when you started.

There is an inherent poetic dilemma with reconciling yourself with how you age. Parents can buffer this change, whether for positive or negative effect.

In a lot of areas normal jobs are literally impossible to do at the moment. It isn't a matter of whether or not people want to do them. In my city in a non-US country you actually are doing something illegal if you go to work in certain industries or undertake extremely common activities that were normal 6 months ago. This is unique and far beyond anything me (or my parents) have ever known. No obvious end to a lot of this is in sight.

Multi generation homes used to be norm but societies became wealthy enough to move away from that ( and various frictions it creates) looks like we’re literally moving back. Good for the environment, bad for the economy and mental well being.
Cool website.
Trying to capture new leads for your business?
Usually, yes, if you are paid like a normal employee. I'm jumping straight to the point that many people have an issue with - that once you're wealthy enough, you don't make most of your money through a salary, you make it through capital gains, dividends, and other financial tools that make your effective tax rate much lower than it would have been had you taken it as a salary.

In a huge oversimplification, let's say you're in UK and make £100k/year. If you take that as salary, you'll pay 20% tax on around £40k of it, then 40% tax on £50k, with the remaining £10k being tax free. On the other hand, if you open a limited company that makes £100k, well, you're only paying 10% corporation tax on any profits - but of course the way to play this game is to expense everything imaginable under the sun, so ideally you have close to zero profit at the end of the tax year. Yes, the money isn't "yours", it belongs to the company, but you can expense things like your rent, gas, electricity, "work meals" etc. Then take £10k salary from your own company which is within the tax-free allowance. Voila, in the eyes of someone external, you've made £100k but through "clever tricks" paid less than 10% tax on all of it. Of course most people don't realize that isn't not that simple, but things like this lead to very quick judgement.
I don't think the parent comment misrepresented anything at all. Even without reading the article yet, I assumed "our system" referred to the government's system (i.e. the FAA's process).

It takes some pretty significant mental gymnastics to convince yourself that the FAA's approval process wasn't critically flawed in the case of the MAX.

Notes from a Tech-Free Life
I grew up on the farm, but have spent most of my adult life living in big cities. But I take a month or so home most years for a bit of farm work / harvest celebration.

Corono got me good traveling SEA in February, and have been now living and working at home since March. I could have never thought about living here beforehand. At least I always think that twenties and thirties are for the movement of the city, and then the farm work / home life can begin.

But having been somewhat forced to force myself to settle for an indefinite period, it is giving me much appreciation for a different kind of life. Building stuff, farming and a lot of cooking / baking / fermenting has brought out a real positivity, which now seems impossible to find in the city.

It's even got to the point where we've started inviting friends to come and live and work with us, and there seems to be that community feeling bubbling up all around.

Commuting and travel seem so weird to me by this point, and I know that the logistics are hell to try and rearrange the entire economy to be kind of segmented, but I'm starting to believe that this is the only realistic hope we have left.
Facebook has the impressions because in many countries they have a de-facto monopoly in social networking, which has become a large part of all web trafic. Google will cover the rest of the net almost unchallenged. So it's not even a duopoly, it's a segmented monopoly.

At the start of the lockdown in France, my parents asked me to move back (temporarily) with them, mostly so that I don't spent all the lockdown alone. I nearly refused, because then I didn't though the lockdown would be so long, a few weeks at most. In the end I still went back for the duration of the lockdown and I'm thankful I did.

But it was only temporary.
> Should their motivations and interests matter if market forces ultimately decide the outcome, which isn't "as little of their tenant's paycheck every month" as you contend for the average tenant?

I don't "contend" that landlords want tenants who can comfortably pay the rent, it's standard best practice and common sense.

Regardless, I'm not sure why landlords are solely responsible for the status quo, to the point that you believe they shouldn't exist.

> This seems to conflate an apartment someone owns to, say, a laptop or another tool which they actively use to generate productive work. I don't agree with the comparison but I do agree that it is more grey than my parent comment portrayed it to be.

Yes, it does conflate the two intentionally. The distinction between housing and other man-made goods seems arbitrary to me.

> You haven't seen activists who protest the commoditization and sale of drinking water?

The protests I've seen about Nestle and others are generally focused on privatization of water in impoverished nations where people were previously using it as a free resource or centered around the terms of the contract with a water bottler.

I don't see activists in the US protesting the water company or telling people not to pay their water bills, which is what I had in mind when I made my previous comment.

> You're right, that was a strawman and bad form from myself. But I'm not sure the 17 million vacant homes versus the 200,000 or so recorded unsheltered homeless individuals per the 2019 American census[1] is that unrelated to reality. If you're suggesting that it is removed from reality in that the motivations for those properties remaining empty cannot be outright attributed to malice like I did, I would be open to that assertion but I'm not sure it matters as long as the disparity exists. I still feel it is fundamentally immoral.

Fair enough. I don't dispute that there are enough vacant homes to provide shelter to the homeless, but my issue was the assumption of malice (which is the case throughout your original reply to me).

> I appreciate you engaging with the content of my argument in good faith and apologize if I have failed to return the favour.

Same to you, it's always unclear to me why landlords are vilified and singled out as the one provider of necessary goods and services that are vilified and should be outlawed, so engaging in conversations like these are interesting to me.

So far, no. But a single nuclear power plant has the potential for continent-wide devastation. Is the same true of the world's largest coal power plants (~6.7 GW)?

That's a misuse of "monopolistic" - 60% is not a majority to the point of no competition. Any developer could write an Android-only app if they wanted, they just don't do it.
I think your observation is a good one. But yes, it doesn't give him a pass and personally, I'll never forgive Gates & Microsoft for their strangulation of the computing world (and its creativity) through the 80s & 90s. I find Bill Gates a particularly uninspiring & unimaginative individual who has only made the world greyer, not brighter.

That's up to you. Bazel can fetch and build core from wherever: local or remote. Also, when fetching from git, it will high encourage you to use commits instead of tags, or when downloading archives from http, use a sha256.

This article fails to mention this as one of the reasons for young adults moving back home: college dorms being closed.

Words get abused a lot, and for some of them, they do not have a clear-cut, universally agreed upon meaning. "Monopoly" is one of such words (others candidate include: freedom, democracy, justice).

When random person X complains about, say, Google having a monopoly, there are two possibilities:

- Person X means something along "Google has a dominant market position and abuses its power", slightly abusing the meaning of "monopoly".

- Person X means Google is literally a monopoly, that it is not possible to get online ads otherwise and does not know that firms such as Facebook exist.

Somehow a lot of people choose to believe interpretation #2 is true, and spend a lot of time debating whether this or that company is a "monopoly" as if it is somehow more important than the substantive issues.
We're 2 to manage IT tasks in the company (my real qualification is software dev though). We don't have access to Microsoft anything (too expensive) so we use the licenses that comes with the computers we (rarely) buy.

I still haven't managed to convert all our workstations from Win 7 to Win 10 (and yes we still have a couple XPs), there are special apps on them that needs the intervention of one of our provider, it's complicated.

Last year one of our provider sent us some machines with LTSB 2016 installed. They're already at their EOL.

Edge is not available and there's not even an image viewer on this OS, MS Photos is impossible to install (and is crap anyway, it regularly fails to show an image that any other viewer including Paint can open etc).

Color me unimpressed.
Cannot agree more. There's nothing wrong to live with your kids. I have a child now and would love to live with my parents (a little bit so they can take care of it) provided we all had big enough house.
Except not, because browsers enjoy black listing GPUs, so while in native you get 3D performance no matter what, on the Web it might just run with software rendering using single digit FPS.

Then each browser is a different species, unless you adhere to the ChromeOS === Web school of thought.
And as soon as the wind stops and the sun gets obscured by clouds or the earth, the bubbles stop, and off goes the plastic :)

It's not "true and the uncontroversial truth". It's a violation of the design and spirit behind the HTTP protocol. It's also a violation of social customs we're used to in meatspace - if you give me a magazine for free, you have no grounds to expect me to look at the ads inside, instead of tearing them out without looking and reading the content I'm interested in.

This expectation that "you pay for content by looking at ads included" is a unilateral decision made by publishers who embed ads, and pushed by the advertising industry. We have every moral right to refuse looking at ads. And if you demand payment for the value you provide, do it the honest way: demand up-front. HTTP protocol has provisions for that too.
Only if the date is in the name.
The biggest coal, gas and dam failures were all pretty bad and often on a level with nuclear.

The 'worst case' with a modern reactor is basically zero to very few people die and there is some leaked out radiation. This is what happened in Fukushima. Its hard to find a worse case with a modern reactor.
This isn't a good thing, smartphones are cheap products, all we're doing with this device is making a toy that will gather dust after a few months. It's wasteful to ship a product like this where 90% of it doesn't work.

Your love of it probably comes from the familiar feeling you have from being abused by Linux distros on desktop - it's Stockholm syndrome.

I'm glad you are able to post to a message board on your phone, that's a huge step, yes, but this is sounding eerily familiar to the "huge steps" desktop linux distros have been making for decades.
Many don't realize that for the first ~decade of its existence, BD was not the robotics/hardware business, but rather developed and sold human simulation software. Their main product, DI-Guy[1], was a modest success, and eventually provided the underpinnings for BD's core biomechanics sim tools.

When they got back into the hardware business in the early 2000's, those projects were primarily funded by DARPA/DOD contracts, but the steady income stream provided by e.g. DI-Guy helped fill the gaps between contracts, allowing them to run a business that, though lean, stayed in the black. Eventually, as a part of the Google acquisition, DI-Guy was divested to VT MAK, another local company in the modeling/sim software business [2].

This is very complex. Where does this end?

I’m a renter. Do I need to prove I’ve lost my job to not pay? Do I get to skip out on paying for a luxury apartment if I have money in the bank? Does my landlord get to skip her mortgage? Or only the portion paid by my rent? What about the bank who holds the mortgage? Or the retired bond holder who ultimately gets the mortgage payments?

Every step along the way requires somebody to not get paid.

If the government intervenes, at which step should they do it?

I’m not saying no actions should be taken, just that it’s more complicated than pure rent forgiveness. Perhaps the answer is some kind of short term UBI, but that gets expensive quick. Zero interest government loans puts the burden back on the individual. I’m not fully clear on how to beat balance individual ownership versus protecting the system from collapse. (The latter involves propping up the banks)
"We know these are crimes in the US".
Except if he is a journalist they are not. He is being politically prosecuted by the current US administration to force him to be silent on Russia's role in the 2016 election.

I think Assange is very much not a good person, and feel that he absolutely attempted to influence the election in Trump's favor, something I am very against. With that said, the man is being prosecuted for political, not legal cause. Snowden should be pardoned and charges dropped against Assange.

"sent to the US which doesn't really affect people" the exact opposite is true, this case can have a very real effect on US whistle blowers, a group of people who play a vital role in keeping the government and corporations honest.
Those parents often shout about "greedy developers" (or, if pressed, "parking and neighbourhood character") when, heaven forfend, someone tries to build new homes near them.
