This guy is right that this redesign sabotages Gmail's bulletproof brand, but he doesn't mention the real motivation. This is Google we're talking about. They hired a new VP for these apps and since VPs are essentially useless people, he ordered up a redesign to show impact. He's even quoted in the article with some perfect nonsense that couldn't have been written anywhere but at a megacorp.
Even better than you confirming your own action, is someone else confirming it. If the stakes are high, require two people to turn the keys, instead of just one.
Tcl is the de facto EDA tool scripting language. It's standard in the HW design world - of course it does not stop there being a second alternative scripting language, but not having TCL would alienate much of the HW design community, so must be there. As for the HDL, vivado supports SystemVerilog, VHDL, and C via HLS. I happen to like SystemVerilog, what about it makes it terrible?

True story: Whenever I refer to the article, "PHP is a fractal of bad design" on a call, I get a bunch of wordpress articles in my newsfeed within the hour.
I think the value of leisure time is a function of how much money you have, and how much free time you already have. If I don't have a lot of money, then it's worth my time to work overtime in a kitchen. If I have more money, I'm less likely to do so. Also people are more inclined to volunteer an hour here or there, but avoid a regular commitment.

I think you could approximate this function of the value of leisure time if you had enough time and money to go around polling people. My hunch is that there would be some variation around work ethic and virtue signaling, but that there would be a clear relationship between net worth, free time, and the value of free time.
You've never used the Cisco suite of alternatives, have you?

Teams is the Discord of integrated business chat from a usability perspective, at least if you want an integrated experience. Cisco's system last I was aware was a hodgepodge of applications, i.e. we had to have two separate Cisco chat applications running at all times.

Other players, its either one or both of:
- a solution less kludgy than Cisco but still a hodgepodge of applications
- a system that can't scale on one or more important axes
- too specialized for a general use case

Remember, on one hand, Telcom uses erlang a lot. On the other hand THEY USE ERLANG A LOT. The sorts of stuff you see in phone systems is brilliant but archaic. And I bring that up because the voice integration in teams is really freaking nice and honestly the users are happier because its less integration hassle when moving numbers around, and that's a win for both IT and users.

Would I prefer discord had a competitive solution or Teams had a competitive UI? Yes. Or that Avaya would come blow everyone away with something amazing.

But part of me is also asking if teams has gotten so crappy lately because this year has likely resulted in them having to scramble on bugs and scaling issues in a way they didn't expect.
Chainode Will Participate in the DSLA Incentivized Beta as an Harmony Validator
I find a lot of useful abstractions end up getting implemented twice: once in a "magical" way where you rely on the runtime to manage it according to a bunch of cobbled-together ad-hoc rules, then again in a "principled" way where it's under the programmer's control and can be reasoned about, but still (almost) as usable as if it were working by magic.

e.g. ad-hoc exceptions -> errors as plain values, but with "railway-oriented programming" techniques that make them as easy to work with as exceptions

e.g. runtime-managed garbage collection -> rust-style borrow checker ad-hoc in the compiler -> haskell/idris-style linearity in the type system

e.g. "magic" green-threading -> explicit-but-easy async/await

e.g. behind-the-scenes MVCC in databases -> explicit event sourcing

The promise of streaming was releasing us from bundled cable TV contracts and letting us pick exactly what we wanted to watch, paying for it and nothing else.

We came close for a time, but I think everyone realised it wasn’t what they wanted after all. You could buy standalone episodes of a ton of shows on iTunes, but the calculus changed: sure, you enjoy watching Wheel of Fortune, but are you really going to pay a dollar for every episode?

These kinds of full-featured IDEs tend to lead to knowledge gaps, in my experience. I'm not really a Java programmer, but I've helped more than one Java developer (usually junior ones, to be fair) with build issues. This is because when I use Java, I write it using vim and either `javac`and a Makefile, or else the command line interface of a Java build tool (ant, maven, gradle, etc). That has given me a good understanding of the Java build process, that I've found many users of Eclipse or IntelliJ do not have.

As such, I think your proposal may have legs, because it could allow less technical users access to the programming environment, while retaining a text-based interface for more expert users.
You could just partake of culture outside of Mickey Mouse cartoons.

Disney didn't push for copyright extensions during this congressional session specifically because of the heightened awareness of them doing it last time.

There are lots of laws the public doesn't care about and all you have to do is get the legislature to "not disagree", after you get your pet project out of committee. So as long as people don't notice, you can get pretty much anything passed in the US. It works even better when all the well funded special interests hilariously decided to move to the far fringe edges of their respective parties and will never get consensus. Lowers the barrier for consensus for the rest of us since most of Congress is just waiting for things that can have bi-partisan support. Been a fun and cheaper than usual few years for me.......

Good news is that I was deleting the test database to ensure that the recovery from backups was properly automated, so it wasn't down too long.
One of the things that has helped me get into and maintain the state of 'grasping the concept of death' is the idea of the universe existing (for billions of years) prior to my awakening to conscious existence, and returning to that state of dis-being; non-existing.
In shops where stakes are high, it’s not uncommon to do just like you said—have mechanisms that force someone else to verify what you’re about to do, before you do it. If someone else can’t verify, the tool will block you. It’s similar in spirit to requiring code reviews on all shipped code.

Reddit has another benefit to this-- by having employees around the country, they'd also be more representative of the country as a whole in terms of "viewpoint diversity", instead of being in a liberal bubble.
The docs, calendar and meet icons were uninspired. Redoing those make sense, but I suspect that the thematic element of the color overlaps could have been done with more symmetry. The asymmetric elements don’t act as an interesting accent. They are headed in the right direction, just needs a few more iterations of tweaking.

Anyways, gradients are a lost art sadly. They’ll be back eventually.

I moved my company away from Sketch to Figma and one of the big differentiators was that folks who don't use macOS on our team can't use sketch, at all.

I haven't really run into any issues with slack. It works quickly enough for what I need it to do and it doesn't use up enough resources for me to care about.
I mostly agree, but I'd whine a little about having to buy more charging bricks. I don't really need fast charging, but I have a bunch of little devices to charge and almost all of them support USB-A. AFAICT all current USB-C charging bricks are limited to 3 (maybe 4?) ports. And those are expensive. I've already got a few of the 6-port bricks. I suppose this is because USB-C is potentially faster (PD) so they can't support more than a few ports per charger. Still, it's been a hassle with my iPad Pro. It's kind of the bastard child of my collection, and it just barely agrees to be charged with a USB-A to USB-C cable (it doesn't always agree to charge from a completely drained state, but it does charge if it's already got enough juice to turn on).

It's actually very significant that Wirth stayed on the same track after Pascal. That indicates that he saw more to study in the realm of "structured programming" as it was understood in the 70's. Later people in CS academia had careers to build and this ushered them towards pushing other paradigms, but industry has been rather pragmatic on the whole: most code, most of the time, is still structured imperative, still using the same handful of constructs, and still following the guiding forms of structured code: sequence, selection, iteration. The new languages do support many other features, but this is reflective of their role as broad toolboxes that support very large codebases, while a Wirthian language has at least one fundamentally different, well-specified benchmark of success: how efficiently the compiler compiles itself and the operating system. As an object of research, it can afford to be particular about how it gets there, while most engineering teams in industry will settle for whatever can ship.

And if we look at his languages at continued attempts to find the optimum of that space they represent a great resource to tap into - decades of effort to find exactly the right primitives and featureset for the task. That doesn't mean they are the ones to use for all jobs, but "what did Wirth do" is a great starting point.
oooh, that attack where the second player has to time the damage is really cool.

I wish I could keep all the verbs for that sort of game in my head. It feels like every game I completely forget I have an ability, and miss opportunities to use it.

That's probably why I stick to counter strike and it's 5 actions/verbs: shoot, scope, jump, move/walk, and throw. (and maybe buy, but that's getting into the weeds...)

No need to outsmart my enemy when my crack hands can just out-react them ;P
Does even Disney really push Mickey Mouse cartoons much any more? They seem to mostly focus on other product lines. I wonder just how much they would lose out on with no further copyright extension.

But for standard development (and with some sort of gitflow) most people need only ten or so commands to operate an otherwise complex algorithm for diffing and merging code, compared to the inexorably complicated UIs which at best offer the basic ten and then usually ten more random local idioms, or at worst don't offer the basics and still have the extra complexity...and then offer to drop you to shell for anything else...
At no point in my entire life has modern or popular music been more available than it is now. I haven't "bought an album" in over a decade, because virtually everything is instantly available at no additional charge beyond the one simple service I subscribe to. Short of all recorded content being de facto uncompensated, which is what the logical conclusion of Napster winning would have been, it's hard to see an outcome here that would be better for consumers than the one we have.

I suspect we'll be in a similar position with video content in 10 years as well. Already, I think it's easy to make the case that we're better off than we were in the status quo ante of cable bundles and video rentals.

There is a difference between moderation and selective moderation.

If a website moderates per pre-defined and agreed upon terms, then they should not be liable. If a website is going to moderate with a left-lean or right-lean, it should be up front about this agenda instead of selectively censoring or flagging comments.
I don't know, but to the extent you're not talking about Mickey and Donald, you're not really talking about copyright extension anymore; under any reasonable copyright term, they'd still own Frozen and Toy Story.
I think there is a good chance MagSafe chargers will last significantly longer. Lightning cables seem to eventually get damaged on the connector or with the cable bending if it is being used while charging. If wireless MagSafe uses more electricity it will be worth it if offsets enough need to replace broken cables and the energy used in producing those.
CTRL+F "domestication" then "rats"

Felines are only partially domesticated. From my research into the subject, including the article about the first cat skeleton found with no teeth, indicating humans had fed it, is that they only associate with us because of our habit of debris and sloppiness that attracts their prey. Otherwise, feral felines are still unrepentant killing machines that will try and trip you while walking up the stairs just to feed them so they'll stop yowling.

Source: Personal experience with a feral kitten I have "domesticated" and would probably feed on my corpse for a few days if I trip and fall and die even though she's ~11 human years now.

The IRS is going to come after you for taxes anyway (post first 105k) so you might as well earn it in USD, bank it in the US, and transfer what you need to whereever you are.

The good news is that some countries won't bother taxing you if you're working for a US company remotely - they're just happy to have expats spending in the local economy.
As you grow older mind sports are an effective and cheap way to stay mentally active.

Much better than being at home watching TV all day which is what many elderly people are forced to do due to poor mobility.

In Japan many elderly people play Go and Shogi. In China people play Weichi and Xiangqi, the equivalent games respectively.

They are also not necessarily a waste of time. The intuition and insights gained in board games can be used in other aspects of your life.

We do many wasteful things as humans. We cut down trees to turn them into supermarket marketing that go directly into the trash.

We drive 5 seat vehicles with one person in them and spend a lot of time waiting in traffic so for other 5 seat vehicles with one person in them.

We spend money on overpriced shiny stuff with no purpose.

We spend years in college learning about computer science so we can disregard most of it and push dirty code full of tech debt.

We spend in scientific research so then a climate change denier, flat earther or anti vaxxer refutes it with no proof.

Well then, I must ask.

What is a clock?
You are using a Ubiquiti device that gathers ip accounting information from a slew of various devices on the network then tries to cram it all together into an overall view. It seems widely accepted that their statistics aren't that reliable. My system reported day that my sleeping macbook sent out 7TB of data. /Narrator: It did not./

Are you totally positive and 100% sure that this is even Internet traffic? Unifi will report all LAN traffic too. Some of those first gen smart TVs will spew untold amounts of multicast and broadcast in an effort to discover DLNA servers and other media devices.

Anything other than speculative theories?
That's basically what I did. After my last Mac died a few years ago I dusted off an older Mac and purchased a new ThinkPad P50. I thought it would take me most of a couple years to get as comfortable with Linux as I was with macOS. Instead it took just one month for the ThinkPad to become my main driver and another two months before I mothballed the Mac.

The only thing I really, really miss is OmniGraffle.
I have United-branded Visa. I was going to cancel it but the rep said that I could pay the annual fee of $95 with miles. I have it to avoid paying bag fees. Haven't traveled with United for more than a year. I guess I'll keep it until the miles run out.

I don't know if you can do the same with your Delta Amex but FYI.
But from the company's perspective, why should they care? If they are hiring remotely, shouldn't they optimize for the best employees at a given price?

>Section 230 made it possible for every major internet service to be built

Whatever your opinion on the law, this statement by Zuckerberg says all you need to know about why he would take this position. Climb the ladder, and then kick it out from under you.

Zuckerberg realizes that it is significantly cheaper to adjust to more social media regulation than it is to compete against competitors (e.g. Tok Tik). Removing or significantly reforming section 230 would ensure Facebook's position for many years to come. To paraphrase Thompson: Facebook grew virally, and so can it decline virally. Reform of 230 precludes the latter.
> was releasing us from bundled cable TV contracts

Was it? I just remember it meaning we could subscribe directly to content creators, which is what the current environment looks like. No one was ever promised both 1-on-1 relationships with content creators AND the value-add of a consolidated service provider, which is just unrealistic to have.

> We came close for a time

When was this, exactly? The PPV era? Things have never been better than they are today for content consumers, we have more options than ever to customize what, when, and how we consume.

I wish everything was PPV so I could à la carte my heart out, but subscription revenue guarantees are what make the current landscape tenable for the investments we're seeing in new content across all the streamers. It used to be cable companies taking on the brunt of the risk of cash flow management, infrastructure, customer acquisition, and marketing. Now every streamer has to do everything themselves.
Xilinx are very flexible and the tooling makes them even more effective.

If AMD wants to get serious in the datacenter/AI/ML space they need a xilinx-like approach to developing tooling. Cuda, nvenc, cudnn etc craps all over amd's offerings in the same space where they are even available.

AMD is prepping to take over datacenter terf and this puts them in a good place to bring a bigger offering.

In 2y, when your project will be successful, how successful the launch is will be irrelevant.

Write a blog post, short, with the key things that will make it evergreen. Use good keywords in the title.

Then don’t worry to much about a big launch, just share it on the socials you use. Over preparing can just set you up for disappointment.

> but if your vitamin D level is OK then you might be less likely to end up in an hospital or even in intensive care

But only as a form of correlation not necessary causation.

Which means if you make sure you don't have low vitamin D levels because you heard it is correlated with COVID your likelihood of having worse COVID systems might not change at all!

Becau you might have "something" which makes worse COVID systems more likely which also happens to cause low vitamin D levels. Or you might have something caused by your living habits which also makes low vitamin D levels more likely.

I.e. as far as I know studies could only find statistic relevance for correlation (in some cases) but no statistic relevance for causation.

Idk, but it might literally be as simple as unhealthy older people being more likely to have vitamin D deficit and also being more likely to have worse COVID syntoms.
