In my experience Wine is more compatible when it comes to older games (especially those abusing the APIs), but when it comes to older (and newer) GUI applications it has a lot of issues.

And for older games there are often alternatives in Windows (e.g. dgVoodoo2 which reimplements older DirectX and Glide versions under Direct3D 11 and i think nowadays 12) that provide even better compatibility and features.

What differentiates a real career professional with someone who just "learned how to code" IS the fundamentals like Data Structures, Algorithms and their underlying math fundamentals.

Sure, you can become a "senior" engineer even at a big tech company if you take a more product-focused track, but even there your lack of mastery of fundamentals will eventually limit and stunt your career growth, because those around you at the same level will have that deep understanding and knowledge to pull from when they actually need it for their job.

Notice I didn't say this requires a COLLEGE education, I've met plenty of amazing, very senior engineers in my career with no formal degree or college education, but they sure as hell understood all the underlying fundamentals and theory of their field better than most.
I wouldn't touch anything that's even remotely tied to Oracle with a 10ft pole.
This, greatly improved comfort, and quality 3D scanning\photogrammetry being mainstream (close with Apple LIDAR) at the same or similar cost (~$200-$500 for a standalone HMD) enables a host of interesting stuff. Right now Social VR and VR collaboration software has some potential, but is more awkward and challenging to use than video conferencing.

If I'm writing code on a shitty laptop keyboard instead of a proper mechanical one, it's because I am, or intend to often be, outside an office, quite possibly travelling. This also usually means that I will not have a reliable internet connection.
> Economists study many things other than "the economy".

And, even moreso than is already notoriously the case with the economy, their predictions on those many other things tend to be based on conclusions drawn by abstract reasoning from ideologically-motivated assumptions with little empirical basis that are poor predictors of behavior of the real world.
I actually follow him on feedly, he's had a blog since forever. I read this back in November, I didn't reread it all today, forgot that detail.
That's not what Sweden did. Lots of people say it on the net, but it's not. If you want it in one sentence: The Swedish policy was to do the things that seemed helpful and people would accept and be disciplined about in the long term.

So no lockdown, for example, because Tegnell thought the Swedish wouldn't be disciplined for more than a few weeks.

Feel free to criticise the Swedes, but please be accurate. Don't attribute to Tegnell what some people on the net wrote.

Fortunately, this doesn't appear to be a problem where I live. They're telling us not to get tested because too many people are getting tested without symptoms.
I'm gonna go against what others are saying here... learn openings if you're a low rated player. They not only give you tactics against players who don't prepare against them, but you also never have to feel lost in the first 12 or so moves. You can just study 1 or 2 lines for a start, it's really not hard especially with computers.
No it's not. A formal computer science education at least mention and cover the problems these tools are solving. And for those who want to solve these challenges, they take graduate courses.
>driven to a large extent by greed and ignorance. But so is a lot of the stock market and other investment vehicles

That I completely agree with and have almost as much issue with. But at least the underlying's have some value. The actual value is up for debate, but it's actual value of something (like an underlying company and their cash/IP/other assets etc) or a commodity which is physically useful (an ounce of gold, a barrel of oil).

Bitcoin has no underlying value. You equate that to conch shells- ok, but that's all they had when they used it. We already have currencies. So comparing it to a situation where a civilization may have used conch shells is pretty laughable. If all we had was conch shells and you came up with bitcoin? Great! Seems like a nice idea, it's an improvement. Bitcoin, however, is not an improvement by any stretch of the imagination.

>The world wants and needs a medium of exchange, otherwise we are back to bartering fish for sheep skins.

That's what... currencies are for especially the USD in particular. You say otherwise we are back to bartering fish for sheep skins.. huh? We are not there, we have currencies... Are they perfect? Of course not. But we have a few extremely large currencies (like USD, EUR) that do exactly what you say.

And now here's the humorous thing. You will tell related to currencies- "well, what good does USD do to me, I'm in Country X and can't use it or don't have it!" The fucking price of crypto is being quoted RELATIVE TO CURRENCIES so... wtf?

If you are in Country X and want to send some value to the person in Country Y.. ok so yes you can send bitcoin. Great. But what if you actually want to use your money? You have to convert bitcoin into X or Y?? There is no point to all of this!

And because of different costs of living all throughout the world, the 'amount' of bitcoin you pay someone would still 'relative' to their underlying currencies worth.

I'm just getting tired even trying to type this insane circular logic.

If there were no thieves and people were perfect, then crypto might make sense. But because there is no recourse for accidentally sending money to the wrong person, literally losing your hard drive or whatever and you can't recover, someone hacking into your account etc.. crypto is MEANINGLESS for any normal use.

Software engineering needs to be learned on the job. I see lots of new grads that take classes in "Agile" and I cringe just knowing how instead they could be taking difficult courses in graph theory, theory of computation, abstract algebra, advanced algorithms, distributed systems, or any other number of advanced topics. As we get older it's easier to pick up tricks of the trade (various Git workflows, "agile", etc)... but it gets harder to sit down to do 3 hours of homework 4 days a week doing your pushdown automata or linear algebra exercises.
I've been using Preview 5 for about a week now and it's worked well for me in my admittedly limited use (devilbox).

Why is why I never said that

> currencies, which are widely accepted, engaged with, and in use by people and organizations in commerce

So billions of dollars of institutional trading means BTC is widely accepted, engaged with, and in use by people and organizations in commerce. So, you said it's a currency.

That makes no mention of the consumer space, where I bought my widescreen monitor with BTC and pay my friends in BTC with PayPal. Have you heard of PayPal?

Can you post a single reason to believe that?

With some crypto currencies, the developers are invested only by development efforts, holding negligible mining power or amount of currency (which they have to buy like anyone else). They work like a meritocracy, with those who contributed most to the design and coding have the most decision making power.
It's the opposite. Plenty of subsystems in the RHEL 8.3 kernel are basically on par with upstream 5.5 or so, as almost all the patches are backported. The source code is really the same to a large extent, and therefore security fixes apply straightforwardly.
I've used HERE maps for a couple of small projects (using leaflet.js plus HERE map tiles) and it works really well. The HERE developer experience is pretty sweet actually.

Google doesn't own us (Hello, I'm Sampson from Brave). We don't have to get anything merged back into Chromium (though we do contribute up-stream, and have landed commits). We do a soft-patch on top of Chromium, removing that which is against our commitment to privacy-by-default, and user control. If we never land another commit in Chromium, that would be okay. We continue maintain our patches (as does Microsoft and others who build upon Chromium).

$10 billion per month is far, far less than either 1) the economic losses of the pandemic to society, or 2) the amount of money the pandemic is costing the government. I have no knowledge on whether it's feasible, but if it significantly reduced the impact of the pandemic, the economic decision is easy.
Yes. I think our public authorities - the ones we're told are scientific geniuses (the WHO, CDC) that we should all dutifully follow - said not to wear a mask, at least it was interpreted like that (what they actually said was, we don't recommend masks for the public).

As recently as two months ago I argued with a doctor (not my doctor, a person I met) that these guidelines were off, poor messaging and an outright mistake given the trust fallout. I was told, no no, when I was getting my license, they made us do specialized fitting and testing and even put down some fit information on a card (she showed me a card with details). I was confused, since N95s come in two sizes, regular and "small."

This is an example of an institutional/acedemic ivory tower needing a reality check if I ever saw one. How many people died because many people heard that masks were useless and even harmful? Nope, not red tie people or flat earthers, or whatever conspiratorialists du jour that enjoy mainstream press coverage; here, mainstream institutions are responsible for this.

I wore a mask the first week of March because it was common sense to wear a mask the first week of March. It took until JUNE for the WHO to change its tune (https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200608/who-changes-stance-...).
That's because we're using agricultural products to make cows get heavier, quicker than we did in the `70s. Going back to 1970s model where we had more cows which developed more slowly because they got their energy from grazing would require more labor than the system we have now but it would be much better for the environment. From an environmental and animal welfare prospective I don't have much of a problem with grazing cattle. It's the feedlots where cows now spend the last phase of their lives being stuffed with soy and high energy feed that's the problem.

It's very true and for a basic reason - one minute spent doing is one minute taken away from talking/writing.

This thing spreads whether there is “rational decision making” or not. In Nevada we have had a mask mandate since the summer, and our numbers are worse than most states, even those that are far less restrictive. When I go out in public, I see near-100% compliance with the mandate, so “rational decision making” isn’t the issue. Perhaps it’s that masks, unless combined with highly impractical protocols that nobody would follow even if imposed (not touching/using their cell phone after touching other things, wearing disposable gloves, etc), simply aren’t that effective.
The headsets are pretty cool - I’ve played with all of them except for the Valve Index.

Though there’s something unpleasant about them that keeps me from going back when the novelty wears off. I think it might be because I don’t want to be standing and moving around when playing a game and if you’re not doing that, the motion is kind of unpleasant.

I’m not sure this is something it can really overcome. I think an AR overlay of our actual world is more likely to be the next real platform (assuming the hardware is possible to pull off something like this).

Being in VR is just kind of an unpleasant/isolating experience for me and I’m a pretty early adopter of most things.

In other people I’ve mostly seen a small number of games (mostly beat saber) keep people coming back, but I haven’t seen most people keep using it once the novelty wears off outside of that.

I think there are probably some narrow applications where it’s clearly better than not having it, but I’m skeptical of VR as a platform.

Maybe when the hardware is 10x better/lighter it’ll be a difference experience? We are pretty early on in the medium, movies and tv were pretty bad for the first fifty years. It might just take a while for people to figure out how to use VR well.

You keep going, I’ll take another door.

I know enough Docker to create and launch a dev environment, but I don’t need anything more than that since I don’t do deployments.

Likewise you don’t need to learn about browser rendering since you barely interact with it.

Uses fucking AWT for windowing (so no Wayland support), uses a hardcoded list of platforms like "linux amd64" (gonna be a huge pain in the ass on BSD/ARM), so rather disappointing from a unix perspective. Of course commercial app developers don't care about any of this, sadly.

Sounds fascinating! (I have a background in theoretical physics)

How do you go about finding the right kind of projects to work on, or the right kind of environment that appreciates what you bring to the table? And how often do you come across like-minded people? In my (short) experience, apart from occasional threads like these, it’s very difficult to spot kindred spirits.

PS: If you’re up to interacting by email/Zoom, I would love to get some perspective based on your experience. (Email in my profile)
I think it will take off when we see a convergence of some things.

Specifically:

1. It looks real
2. It's affordable
3. AI characters become believable

If anyone's played with Replika.ai lately, you'll know #3 is starting to get really close. #1 and #2 are inevitable.

So at some point it becomes wildly rewarding to spend hours hanging out with your AI friends in virtual space.

Simply being in a 3D space isn't enough. Most people seem to experience this as a neat trick, but not something they feel the need to make a part of their daily lives.

But building emotional bonds with characters who are only accessible in VR? Or perhaps can be texted (like Replika) and then met "in person" in VR? I see that being worth many billions.
That's one of the premises behind the Codespaces offering: https://github.com/features/codespaces
Here's the rest of the statement that you left out that answers your point.

"...I just need my OS to keep working for me. This bug could hit me without even owning a scanner at all – someone sending me a PDF that I then unknowingly break before archiving it. That’s the part I’m mad about."
If you have multiple developers working on the same product, you want each developer to have their own environment. In my experience, for cost, convenience, and productivity its made most sense to do this with local Docker. It also eliminates a lot of connectivity issues with running on a remote machine.

> In my experience Docker Desktop has been such a resource hog

Not sure if this is related to the specific project or what, but I haven't had tons of trouble with docker being a big hog.

That said, they are significantly changing the way Docker on M-Series CPUs works, working directly with Apple's Virtualization Framework which I believe improves performance.
The best coding challenge I had to do was when the company basically gave me a set of requirements, said build this. Took about an hour. Then during the interview, I was asked about my decisions, and blockers. Afterwards I was given another feature to add. This took another half an hour.

I wish more companies would do this. The hardest part for me at least is staring at a blank document.
Really? We've colocated our servers for the past 18 or so years.

We have about 40. The oldest is around 17 years old. Our newest server is 9 years old. Our average server age is probably around 13 years old.

The most common failure that completely takes them out of commission is a popped capacitor on the motherboard. Never had it happen before the 10 year mark.

Never had memory failure. Have had disk failures, but those are easy to replace. Had one power supply failure, but it was a faulty batch and happened within 2 years of the server's life.

This is the kind of thing I mean, though.

The Windows UI is shockingly tweakable. You can buy programs to do all sorts of things, e.g. multi monitor assistants.

With OS X, Apple's way is fantastic, but if you want to step outside it you're in trouble.

The Unix underlying OS X was strictly superior, although now there's WSL it's much less of an advantage.
The article says that covid caused about half as many young deaths as all other causes in total (search for the number 16,000 and 11,000). "Open up and flood" must be mean an increase if it ia change at all, ie. it would make the risk of covid roughly equal to the sum of all other risks.

If that's almost nonexistent, as you write, then you imply that all other risks are almost nonexistent, too.
The Dangers of Attention Residue
I actually considered this when I was buying a new monitor. "This thing will be obsolete pretty soon".

Headsets are still a little bulky (and not enough resolution) for that to happen. Once that's fixed (and more importantly, with many people shifting to work from home, so they don't have to care about people staring), I expect it to become a pretty popular thing.

If the virtual monitor is overlaying a camera feed of your environment(AR style), this will be amazing. Imagine a headset not much heavier than sunglasses sitting on your desk, rather than a big (or multiple!) monitors. Put it on, you have as much screen real state as you would like, and can be made to look like an actual monitor.

That's with our current 2D thinking. We can probably do more useful visualizations in 3D.
That's good to know.

Is there a public roadmap anywhere? I'd love to be able to add colored tags/labels to individual items.
it seems that 2 camera covers are required to occlude visuals.

there are 2 cameras.
That’s true! Some might be lucky. The face wash brand I use is pretty distinctive and not sold everywhere, and that was on the report, so I feel like there is a lot of truth in the products being linked back to me.
Good luck forking CentOS and maintaining it yourself, or even with a ragtag community team. You need a big team of full-time, compensated developers.

The screening is not optimized to find the best candidates, its just an arbitrary filter that will in the long term let some people that would be fundamental to the survival of the company out of it.

Sometimes its good to accept that the uncertain things are uncertain.

If i were them, i would find and train good "screeners", people with talent to spot talent and just let them do the job. Sometimes they will only have a hunch, giving their observations of things that escape most people of a particular candidate, and even without much to show of, they might be right.

Later the top screener's would help the new ones to be better at their job, teaching their tricks.

This is very subjective and personalized, and even if there might be some objective ways to train the screener's better, i think its just nuts trying to use objective tests to define a good hire.

I bet with you that there are a lot of "human gold" out there that would only be detectable only when its too late for the company.

Re: [Uses] a tree as data structure. This allows for more flexible layouts than the column-based approach used by other window managers.

Backups are always great, but if something is broken silently behind your back and you only realize in a few years that your archived documents are not searchable any more that makes it harder to recover.
