Which is infuriating as nothing is cached so Teams is constantly downloading

Search far back into history and Teams will load all that past content, then not release it when you're done with the search. So it just bloats in memory. It is caching, but just not in a way that's useful at all.
Yes. Teams does not honour osx toast do not disturb settings (open right hand side pane and scroll up to reveal Nightshift and DND).

I find it hard to believe that the "middle" 49% produce 73% of the emissions, while the top 1% only produce 15%

While I think it's still best for us all to reduce where we can - I also agree that the individual would quickly change their habits if corporations started to charge a sustainable price for their goods instead of leveraging the planets future.
In Europe, most people earn nowhere near 100k USD, and as you just said in USA the median wage is 30k USD.

I'd still say Europe and most of the USA is "first world living standards".
I think it is a worthwhile thought to be had that if you earn more than 99% of the people on this planet and spend that money you take an overproportional part of the global climate pie.
While such individuals may feel or be entitled to their overproportional wealth the question is why this wealth itself gives them the right to overconsume on our climate.

I can see no moral reason that ones monetary capability to damage the climate more than others should give the right to do so.

It is time to price in the damage that is done by consumption and emission of greenhouse gases. This won't recover the wealth (in form of consumtion rights on the climate) that was stolen by the rich from the poor, but will at least restrict such from happening in the future.

It is true that critisizing the individual consumption of the wealthy will not change anything. We need regulations.
However I think particulary the 1% have responsibility to lobby for this as they have the greatest amount of power as well as the greatest responsibility in terms of damage done to our world per person.
Could not agree more, it one of the worst apps I’ve been forced to use over the past year, unreliable as hell, hungry on resources, deforms code within code blocks, lots of audio problems, hard to share links of editing meetings with people, what the heck is up with its non-native notifications and the beyond all that the thing is just damn visually unappealing (to me).
> Sure some corporations rely on government or b2b,

Corporations, by definition, rely on government; the corporate form is a government-created privilege that is also government-granted in each specific instance.

But, of course, government, and businesses of all kinds, ultimately depend on people. I mean, if people just stopped listening to a government, it would ceases to exist as a government.
I work for one, and would also not recommend it, unless you like saying the word "hyphen" a lot.
> When you have 50 well qualified applicants (ie: could pass most interviews) per position then you need some way to weed out 49 of them.

No, you don't. Simply hire the first one that's a fit. If all 50 are well-qualified, that means hire the very first one you interview.

`syscall()` is a very thin wrapper around calling the kernel directly by number. ntdll and libsystem aren't equivalent, they are more similar to `libc`. Neither Windows nor MacOS have a stable system call interface so you have to dynamically link to the library and call through the stable library interface instead.

I can't find anything that guarantees FreeBSD's system call ABI. Do you have a source? It would be very interesting if, for example, FreeBSD 10 applications that use syscalls can run on modern FreeBSD without a compatibility layer. However, if the FreeBSD project does not provide guarantees it would be folly to rely on this behaviour in the future. If it does provide such a guarantee then I stand corrected.

EDIT: After some more research it seems the FreeBSD kernel needs the `COMPAT_FREEBSD10` option enabled for my hypothetical example to work. The default options for amd64 include compatibility options back to FreeBSD 4. Defaults for other platforms seems to differ (perhaps depending on when the platform was first supported).

I can't find good documentation on if these provide full compatibility or if any `COMPAT_` options could be dropped in future versions.

> addressing this problem (of global antropogenic climate change ) requires some quite radical changes in the way our society works

I don't think so. 27% of our CO2 emissions are in electricity generation. Replacing every non-renewable energy source with nuclear we could bring those emissions to zero. Reconverting to electrical our other sources of emissions (heating, transport) where possible could cut another 20-30% of our emissions. That's an easy solution, realtively cheap and feasible with today's technologies, and not requiring massive societal transformations.

But this doesn't apply to Javascript in its absolute sense, since although

(1) foo()
.bar()

is equivalent to

(2) foo() .bar()

there is a difference between

(3) foo()
bar()

and

(4) foo() bar()

(the (3) results in valid code, whereas (4) would not).

But trying to argue that (2) should be syntactically invalid would be a very hard ask indeed.

> Corporations are people

This is an interesting usage. The same sentence comes up a lot and normally it is intended to mean "corporations are (legally) people (though they are obviously not literally people)." But you seem to mean "corporations are literally people." I think the distinction normally made is actually kind of important, because not only is a corporation obviously not literally a single person with intentions and agency, but it's also a little different than "a group of people" because of the economic dynamics imposed by corporate law. How about this: Corporations do what their directors (people) order, and directors are ultimately beholden to activist shareholders (also people). The activist shareholders typically want to maximize profits, and believe the corporation can do so by meeting market demand (of people).
Note that this article is about a Fortran dialect called "High Performance Fortran" (a competitor to OpenMP). It is not about Fortran for High-Performance Computing in general. I used Fortran quite a lot in my PhD and I actually did like it and it is very well suited for numerical calculations on multiple CPUs. Some criticism of Fortran is based on outdated Fortran version (like Fortran 77) and not applicable to current Fortran versions.

But the productivity boost of a REPL is undeniable and I use Julia mostly now. Interestingly, many skills to write high performant Fortran code (like the effective use of the processor cache), do actually translate to Julia.

Some random thoughts because I'm kinda busy

Game is great and insanely addictive(seriously, I can talk about this more if youre interested), but community on private servers is insanely toxic and uneducated (I don't really like saying this like that, but seriously that's something you tend to do not experience in other games) due to... well, that's interesting topic.

This game has relatively high entry level because it's like 23 years old game which has A LOT of content, even more if you do not use spoilers for quests/missions.

If you don't play on private servers, then you have to buy "premium account" to be able to play the game to its full potential which costs like 10 euro for a month

Dying in this game is very punishing, but it used to be worse like decade ago because nowadays you can buy ingame_currency relatively cheap. Dying decade ago without "protections" could waste your like 2-3 hours of exp and some items, add to that fact that you can be killed on PvP servers by anyone "just because" :P

This game is also interested from programming perspective -

Private servers are an initiative by programmers to recreate this game engine and host their own server. Nowadays it's mature.

One of the most popular private server engines: https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver

It's really impressive project.

When it comes to botting FULL afk scripts

You have to write code which goes to the exp place, don't get stuck somewhere, exp there for a hours (using spells, drink health/mana potions, take loot from corpses, run on the more or less complex spawns (map), go back to the city if you don't have potions, sells loot, take cash to the bank, and repeat

Many things can go wrong during that cicle - like other played blocked your "road" to the exp for 1min, or you character just died due to PK(players), lag and maaaaaaaany other.

Your script has to consider a lot of those different conditions and trade offs (sometimes you don't want to kill monsters that are between your city and your spawn because it would take 10min, so you just want to run through them, but you can get "trapped" (sorrounded) by them, so you have to consider this)

It's not easy to do this good enough that you can start bot on VPS and it will running for a day, week or something similar.
I've actually had the same happen to my gas stove, but then, it doesn't seem to have a temperature lock-out like better designed ones do. Came home one day and the house smelled of gas. It was on low but still, it could've ended very badly. Not sure if I accidentally did it or the cat managed to.

Baboons is a classic tournament species where the primary cause of death for males is other males. The primary cause of stress is directly linked to social competition and the primary factors to reduce stress are: Knowing what is and isn't a social challenge, knowing if a fight was won or lost, and if lost having access to cooping mechanisms. It is the later that would correlate to having female friends, as male baboons almost never groom and consolidates an other male when he has lost a fight.

An other related aspect is that female baboons has been observed as being more willing to groom a male who has lost a fight if he was the one being attacked rather than the attacker. If we combine the two aspects with the result of the article I would suggest a simple explanation. Male baboons with lower stress and lower levels of aggression also live longer. I vague remember other studies finding the same results.

> Corporations, by definition, rely on government; the corporate form is a government-created privilege that is also government-granted in each specific instance.

Sure I meant they rely on them for their revenue (the government is their customer, like military contractors)

> But, of course, government, and businesses of all kinds, ultimately depend on people. I mean, if people just stopped listening to a government, it would ceases to exist as a government.

This is only sort of true in democracies. There are plenty of places where people don't get a choice of listening to government or not.
You're not the only one. I've worked quite a bit with Minio, Arrow, and Spark, and I don't really understand the point the article is trying to make or how it's related to Minio. It's either badly explained or just a fluff piece throwing together a bunch of technologies.

To me, the article says "columnar formats that don't require deserialization are good, oh, and you can use Minio to store data!"

As a joke I can confirm that something similar happened to me frequently when I first moved to Europe late 2000s.

This is very good advice.

Some of the best career advice I ever got, and the first thing I share with anyone asking for career advice, is to develop strong public speaking skills. Study it and join groups like Toastmasters to get some practice. Give internal talks. Speak at user groups and, as your skills grow, speak at conferences.

This is one of the keys that unlocks that valuable exposure.

Every day I uninstall Teams from my iPhone and then I download it and install it again the next morning. Why? Because there are no option in Teams to tell it that I am "Off work". With Teams installed you will always be at work no matter if it is weekend, holiday or Christmas eve. If you want get the off work and don't want to carry around a separate work device, uninstalling every day seems to be the only valid option.

In practice Apple forces the developers to use only new APIs(available on new OS) while the device is not supporting new OS updates.

Submissions with the old APIs are no longer accepted so tell me, isn't that planned obosolence?

Basically I as a developer and owner of the device cannot update my own app, on my old device anymore because the OS does not support the new APIs and Apple does not allow me to submit updates with the old APIs or to upgrade the OS.

Your only choice is to not use Apple APIs that are changed often. In practice you can do that only on certain games or niche apps.

On a long enough timeline, international megacorporations with low buy-in requirements (i.e. pretty easy to create in technical terms, like a social network, or rapidly becoming commoditized) probably have a limited lifespan. The necessary capital, expertise, and political desire to build an alternative simply hasn't built up enough to burst the dam quite yet...but it will, and I'm not sure Facebook has enough leverage over the EU (or any other sufficiently large political entity) to do anything about it.
