I have not looked into these things too much but I like how gnome keyring unlocks when I login to my fedora machine. After a simple initial setup, all my git commits are automatically signed by my gpg key. I don't even have to think about it. I haven't used this for anything serious but I think alternatives will need to achieve feature parity before I can seriously consider them.

Kind of like how I go back to x as opposed to wayland because obs can't capture screen (last time I checked).

Capitalism rewards workers according to the utility of their contribution. Consider Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, etc.

Rentseekers in the literal sense (landlords) are not that big of a function of the economy. Rentseekers in the figurative sense (companies that use regulatory capture to extract wealth from others) are not a feature of capitalism, they are a feature of a mixed economy.

The failed "Windows on Snapdragon" experiment is not because of the fault of Qualcomm but Microsoft's. Qualcomm consistently released chips for PCs since Snapdragon 835 and the chips are pretty competitive in raw power compared to Intel. But even some of Microsoft's own software is not compiled natively for ARM leading to bad performance. No 64-Bit emulation means a lot of programs users download does not work at all. .Net Framework which is probably the most popular .Net framework for Windows programs is not compiled for ARM either so people who want to compile their apps need to first transition to .Net Core, and this wasn't even an option a year ago (because of lack of missing parts in .Net Core). So Microsoft is to blame for the handling of the Windows on Snapdragon experiment.
Actually, I've used PaperWM for a bit (a Gnome Shell extension), and that one puts windows next to each other and scrolls left and right between them. (Each window is full height but not necessarily full width.) I find that very nice.

For example, I could have a 2/3 window on the left and parts of another 2/3 window on the right, and going from the left to the right window then scrolls 1/3 so that the full right window is visible.

Pretty cool, actually.

I will want to try Material Shell, too.
Nuclear power is not that dangerous on a large scale compared to coal power. Or burning any fossil fuel for that matter.
You failed to return the numbers that are neither divisible by 3 nor by 5. Also I'm pretty sure your code will never return "Fizzbuzz", since 15 would already be matched by %3.

It's quite ironic that you had all the time in the world to check your code and the ability to silently walk away when the pressure would've been too high and yet you included 2 obvious bugs in your 'proof' of how easy this is.

Thank you for your time, but I'm afraid you would not be a good match for this position at this moment.

You have non-Jewish victims of persecution by Nazi, for multiple reasons. Quite a lot of them, but these are separate from holocaust.
Yeah... No. There’s no point repeating the same information about it.
I should've said fintech is a subset of shadow banking, because not all shadow banks are tech-oriented. But a fintech company is more-or-less by definition a non-bank doing bank-like things, which is the definition of a shadow bank.

Coming from a company which is switching from Golang to Rust, I can definately say that this article is pretty true and needs to be taken into account: https://blog.discord.com/why-discord-is-switching-from-go-to...

Even though it's "old", but back in July (2020) we could replicate this behavior.

One main aspect of "why" we are swithcing to rust is that our project needs to handle large amounts of data (think > 15Gb in RAM). When you try to work with large data structures within RAM, the GC of golang goes a little nuts. There's many different memory issues that we found, for example, when we put a larger load on our project, there's allocations happening, but Golang won't deallocate or release the memory to the OS unless the load goes down.

But if you don't have to work with large data structures and need a speedy multithreaded solution, then you can definately go with golang.

I would also like to point out that it's not very accurate to say that Rust has moderate C++ flavor. It has C flavor with some "differences" when it comes to variables and their lifetimes as well as some different minor flavors of other languages. For example, it has channels, which work in a very similar way as in golang. It has stream (functional) programming to be done as easy as with Java.
The biggest issue with Rust is that there's no well established libraries to work with and sometimes you get major incompatibilities or the issue when you have to so many different 3rd party libraries, that it becomes unconfortable to manage.
I think that ship has sailed.

The iPad Pro 12.9 is already (just slightly) more expensive than the 13 inch Macbook Air - both 256GB.

> What else would they be

The common answer is that a copyright license are only a pure set of permissions that enable a person to do something which otherwise would make an activity illegal.

A contract in contrast is an agreement between minds that defines rights and duties of the parties.

In addition, a copyright license can only give permission for activity which copyright law make illegal. It is limited to be within the scope of what copyright law already restrict. A contract on other hand is only limited by contract law. A typical restriction on contract is that you need to be an adult of legal capacity, ie not a child or under a legal guardian. If a software license is governed by contract law then those restrictions would suddenly apply to software licenses, and the scope of a copyright license could go beyond that of copyright law, both which sounds strange unless contract law has specific rules in places for copyright licenses.

My guess is that french contract law actually have specific rules for copyright licenses, in which case it is more similar to copyright law of other countries but simply placed under the heading of contract law.

It's not the design but the users and to a extend Europe itself. The US is one problem, but that Europe is not even capable to create it's own "cloud" is a sign...just look at Germany they really think 4600 euros is a good payment for top-IT personnel...that says everything. Having Internet-speeds like in the year 2000 too. It's impressive how slow, complicated and lame Europe is (in this sector).

The winner-takes-all positive feedback loop exists because social networks are held in silos built on IP regulations.

So I guess that's another reason the existing concept of intellectual property needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Would winner-take-all effect be so strong if all user-provided data was owned by users, and data processors (like social network) were forced to implement protocols allowing for easy and unconditional sharing of all data (including metadata forming a relationship graph) with any other service the user desires? That is, force services like Facebook or Twitter to be just UI frontends to what would become an implicitly federated social graph. Then, social media companies would hold no power over people.

Right now this can't happen, because the companies own the data on their platform, so competitors are not free to create alternative services for perusing that data.

>Of course, a sloppily-run LLC is more likely to result in piercing the veil,

And unless you happen into some money tree-esque line of work it is going to be damn near impossible for a one person LLC to not do things that will get the veil pierced, especially in a business unfriendly regulatory environment where the small businesses are already spread thing by other requirements. The plumber who is unwilling to use his van as a personal vehicle and use his personal checking account as his slush fund is going to get out competed by the plumber who is. The vast majority of single person LLCs simply do not have the luxury of having enough cash on hand to separate things to the extent necessary to be protected.

Google X / Moonshots seem like a viable model, though I can't comment on how well they've done. I think the economic incentives are too different for the likes bell labs to exist anymore. It's hard to justify basic R&D to investors. The days of Bell inventing transistors only to have intel benefit is over, research need to be justified and monetized now. Basic research at Bell / Xerox / IBM labs existed in a time where there was some sense of charity.

The trick to not have gnome 3 crash (at least when I was on Ubuntu 18.04?) was to NOT connect it to heavy online accounts like if you have three google accounts all of which are perpetually teetering on the edge of your storage capacity of 15GB (or 17, if you did the security checkup) then the "factories" of Gnome will work themselves to death trying to synchronize everything. But we can't tell people "Just don't connect gnome to any online account if $special_conditions" feels like a gotcha.

Does anyone even use gnome online services?

> ut they could watch the road instead of watching their phones. It would be a pretty simple fix- have the backup driver keep their phone in the back of the car.

Sure, but that is just baindaid for one instance of problem. Something that allows management to pretend they dealt with it, while not actually trying to solve the problem. Typical human will likely start daydream without the phone or otherwise loose attention.

> Also, disagree that moving car requires faster responses than drowning person- kids often gently slip under the water in an instant and it's generally quiet and fast, never a big splash or dog paddling "help me!" commotion like in the movies. And longer without oxygen to the brain can lead to more permanent brain death, so I'd say both activities require equal vigilance.

That does not require split second attention and quick reflexive reaction. The permanent brain damage does not happen because kid was under water for 5 seconds, car crash can happen under one second.
It turns out that Nikola isn't in the business of making vehicles:

>In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr [Jeff] Ubben, who sits on Nikola’s board of directors, said the company and its founder Trevor Milton were misunderstood. He said Nikola could revolutionise transport and compared it to Apple. ...

“Nikola is a prototype shop,” Mr Ubben said. “You have the biggest company in the world which is a prototype shop and it’s called Apple. That is what we are doing. We are not trying to sell trucks, we are trying to sell hydrogen.”

It seems odd, then, that the company bought land last year on which, er, to build a truck factory ...

From Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Corporation

>In March 2019, Nikola acquired a 389-acre parcel in Coolidge, Arizona, for US$23 million, with future state and local tax breaks. Nikola said in 2019 that they expected the truck factory to start construction in 2020, start building trucks in 2021, and be able to build 35–50,000 trucks per year by 2023.[9]

Trying this out as it's typed. For background: I really want to love tools like i3 or awesome, but I always go back to Gnome because it juts gets stuff done. I liked Gnome 2, I like 3.

So: just like the site says. Top is the taskbar, which also has a left icon for the current tiling pattern (fullscreen, tiled vertically, etc). The left side panel starts at the top-left with the search button that does the Gnome activities overlay, then a globe icon for each workspace, and a button to create a new workspace. At the bottom of the left panel are the system icons (normally in the upper right in Gnome) and then the clock, crammed into bottom-left.

So I don't hate the tiling, and one of the layout options is "floating" so you can have a workspace full of floating windows. Cool.

My first thought was that the panels are too big -- 48px, which seemed overly large. Luckily this is easily configurable in the extension settings, and updates as you change it so there's no guesswork.

If I switch to floating, or a new workspace, I appear to have no wallpaper behind the windows or the "new workspace" launcher. I liked my wallpaper, and I miss it.

I was going to complain about the globe icons for the workspaces, but it turns out it only preselected those icons because I have browsers primarily in each workspace. It'll pick based on the first open app (I think?) or you can override the icon by right-clicking, or have it display a group of app icons for the open apps in that workspace. This is cool! It's not quite the thumbnail previews of virtual desktops I had in 2004 with Openbox, but It works well.

I'll keep on this for a little while -- I really like that I can turn the whole shebang on and off with a single extension toggle.
> It's this sort of regulatory boom and bust that makes me feel humans shouldn't be allowed to do anything that's dangerous on a really large scale (such as nuclear power).

You had a good comment except for the last line. Nuclear power is the safest form of energy production out there (and by far).
If you know anything about the probability distribution of likely inputs, it's even easier to reverse with minimal loss.

Eg knowing that the input was black text on white background or a natural image (instead of eg white noise) helps a lot.

A big part of the solution that does not involve the government is the market reaction driven by sometimes irrational consumer behavior. Some passengers are now weary of all recent Boeing designs, and even of the excelent 737. The margins are razor thin and if 5% decide to book elsewhere, it can turn a profitable route into a flop.

So Boing will pay not only the massive costs of withdrawing the MAX since orders for it are plummeting. But this event will affect all its business. This is why there is lobbying/political pressure to divert at least some of the blame, the implications are in the tens of billions in the next few years.

So the good news is that the company will be forced to clean-up its act voluntarily, a similar safety disaster could mean extinction.
Agreed. I think Material as a design is flawed because the affordances to discover features are limited. It's OK for phones with small screens, but Material on a website on a desktop puts everything inside a hamburger or a gear.
The Idea That a Scientific Theory Can Be ‘Falsified’ Is a Myth
Yes it does.

Working backwards from a desired claim to generate only supporting facts would reinforce only that claim. It’d be like the police only investigating the one usual suspect and refusing to look for evidence that did not pertain to that suspect.

Working forwards from gathering facts to a conclusion may lead to the same place or somewhere entirely different.

This depends on the context, though. In my open source projects, I have many contributors, so it's important to maintain a consistent style throughout (for example, naming conventions, so that the same data is always called the same thing).

A commercial software project will also have a 'house style' which all contributors are required to follow. It's okay to withhold approval on this basis.

What I think you're saying, and I agree with it, is "don't withhold approval just because this isn't your style".

Tried it briefly, I currently use i3 on ubuntu and found it to be much much slower than that, the animations while pretty get pretty jarring once u start switching windows too often. I much prefer the i3 style of just showing a blinking cursor on switching windows.

The grid layout is interesting but I found it strange that the all tabs are shown along the left side in split mode.
It would be interesting to see how the grid differs from the tree layout that i3 uses.

I did like their default hot keys and the side bar for switching work spaces.
Ultimately though if you don't like gnome this isn't going to change that.
But if you do prefer i3 and want a more nicer environment with all the gnome system management ui's consider using https://regolith-linux.org/
I can understand some people have specific needs and have to use software like that, but I wouldn't say an OS doesn't work just because you can't use some software on it.

> I still believe capping executive pay is a necessary (though not sufficient) part of any practical solution. At least for publicly traded companies, we must cap compensation at no more than 50x minimum wage or something.

I am not sure what capping executive salaries would achieve. You'd still get the same kind of people at the top anyway - even if the top salaries were identical to that of a janitor, the fact that you have power over others is its own motivator for many people out there. Proof in point: politicians don't make outrageous amounts of money (compared to CEOs), but they are addicted to power and control just as well.

I am a bit tired of seeing this topic come up again and again on Reddit or HN. You may have as well, asked if someone preferred blue or orange.

The choice of a programming language (without considering specific details of the application) is very subjective with a low signal to noise ratio. What looks aesthetic or ergonomic for others will most likely not apply to you.

For most practical applications things like the runtime, library ecosystem and other factors become more important and just "Rust or Golang for backend development?" isn't very helpful.

Doing everything needed for every sale can kill a SaaS. There is such a thing as a bad customer, and customers who put burdens on your business that you cannot sustain are bad customers, even if they look tempting because of their size.

You need to know the lifetime value of this sale, and determine whether the cost to land the deal and support them is greater than that value. Saying "No" to a burdensome request covers that - if that kills the sale, that may be the right answer for your business. If not, that also may be the right answer. But you push that effort farther down the calendar, until you know which answer is correct.
This is a Gnome Shell extension, so all the session-related stuff you describe should have no idea or even care that it's running.
