As can be seen throughout its history, reflected in the nature of its seriously heinous press and Australians' love of outright propaganda over truth, Australians have never prioritized the development of a free and open society - so this should come as no surprise.

The only hope is that there are a generation of Australians who still understand why a free press and a free market are essential to open society - and that they will rise to the challenge of building a really viable, open Australian society.

However, given the predilection for shiny things and smashed avocado's, we might have to wait a generation or two, to see these heroes arise. Lets hope these future Australians' don't have to suffer the same fate as the Taiwanese or the Uigyurs in the quest for freedom ...

> All those predictions would serve as evidence for the same theory without involving a multiverse.

The prediction that objects continue to exist when we're not looking at them is not testable in the same sense (you could even say it's unfalsifiable and therefore not scientific); nevertheless most of us tend to believe in it.

Scott Alexander recently wrote about the effects of different amphetamines, which are something he has long clinical experience with in his practice. It is well-worth the read for the curious (the history of how Adderall came to be was a genuine surprise), and it echoes much of what samatman said.

The author did not define what he meant by reasoning about code other than calling it a synonym for "thinking about code".

Is it a scam to think about code, fellas?

I'll provide some examples:

* Does code this terminate?
* Does this method produce expected output for all possible inputs?
* Does this code produce the same output when given the same input?
* Does this method leave the system in a bad state if it is cancelled partway through?
* Can this method be inlined?
* Can this method throw an exception?
* Does this method use all of its parameters?
* Why did this method not do what I expected it to do?
* My tests passed, does that mean my code does what I want it to do?

Is it a "scam" to ask any of the above questions?

> effort that could better be focussed on checking whether your understanding of the problem is indeed correct, or needs updating.

Checking? I checked the code. It looks like code. Did you want me to think about it too?

> This points to a need for code to be deletable way faster than it needs to be thought about.

I can delete code pretty quickly. I have tools that help me to scam about whether it's safe to delete or not.

Oof. Brainfuck it is, then.
> Firefox is quite buggy on Wayland

Is it? I moved to Sway (a Wayland WM) a few months ago, and run FF exclusively. Hell, I even run Firefox ESR (as provided by Debian), and I've noticed precisely one bug, and it's tiny: the main FF hamburger menu has a vertical scrollbar even if it's got plenty of vertical space left on the screen. Whatever, I use that menu once in a blue moon. Everything else is perfect!

What are you experiencing?

> you need to set up some environment flags before launching it

A single flag! Come on, this is hardly a problem.

> and there's a trove of bugs still open for it.

There's a trove of bugs open for FF in general ;-)

> Like cut and paste between different kind of applications, which is an horrible user experience tbh.

What do you mean? It works fine for me. From FF to other Wayland windows, from other Wayland windows to FF, and to and from Xwayland windows. The only copy/paste behavioral difference I've noticed on Wayland is that I lose the copied data if I close the source program. So when copying from FF, I can't close FF (as a whole, not talking about the window in question) before I've pasted. I can't see that this is an actual problem.
Can you elaborate on some of the junior positions? Anything for devops or security related roles?
They cost about a million dollars... Although you could amortize that by hooking up four terminals to the controller. Very close to modern day text browsers. Just Really Expensive.

Though as developer you should already be aware that programing against 1- different incompatible targets is extremly painful, so why the hell they did not implement a Wayland server too, is seems a cheap excuse "wayland is just a protocol, all the issues are in the implementation you use".

I am expecting someone would comment that browsers are a good example, and my answer is go check the contenteditable and for example how text selection works and all the issues people had creating a rich text editor that works on all browsers using it.
hey so it seems like someone mistakenly flagged my comment, so im going to just go ahead and paste it here so this fascinating response can have some context for people who come across it later...

There are plenty of desktop development jobs, broaden your horizons beyond indie shops.

Besides, tablets and laptops are desktops as well, specially when parked on a docking station.
No, just get vintage furniture. Even if you go for top quality in great condition, it's not going to be 10 times more than IKEA, and it will last forever. Not to mention it won't look like crap.
Is the education, healthcare and social security you’re getting at the same level you’d get in the US?

I live outside the US and I can assure you the universal healthcare here doesn’t not provide the same level of care that even Medicaid does in the US. Sure if I had a routine broken arm there would be little difference, but if I had a serious cancer I’d be dead here.

Starting with

> Hate to be that guy but

will give some readers immediate negative connotations (i.e. that you are in fact 'that guy'). Asking the question without the 'that guy' preamble might still be seen as an off-topic downer but may have raised fewer hackles amongst the downvoters.

Perhaps.
I'm sorry OpenBSD also cranks libc versions whenever needed. And it depends on what changed, if it'll run on an old kernel. Since it links against a fixed version, keeping it running involves recompiling or some trickery...

So basically executable are mostly only ever good for 1 stable release. So don't throw away your source code, you gonna need it in 6 month.

Really? I’ve found x-forwarding much slower and annoying unless the host is on a LAN.

How does this new law work? If Google doesn't want to pay media for content, couldn't they just not have newspaper links in their search results? Why would they have to pull out of all the other things that people search for?

that common language is called POSIX

Edit: All libc basically adhere to it. Except for some extentions that are not in POSIX but might be in glibc/musl/FreeBSDs libc or some extentions that are OpenBSD specific.
But in the context of this discussion, I'm fairly sure "Google has a game studio and is making games for Stadia" was never an important part in the decision of game makers to port to Stadia or not, because zero customers got Stadia because of some hypothetical Google games that might come out for it at some point in the future. (Certainly wasn't for any of the Stadia users I know)

“Robotic Process Automation” vendor UIPath raises $750M at $35B valuation
Not by flight number. Each room has the airline and depart/destination airport as their key. A chatroom per airport would be an easy change, but would be a bit of a departure from what I intended the app to do. For example, the difference in customer service standards between British Airways flights across long haul and short haul products is huge. Almost night and day by my amateur reckoning.

I want to draw this kind of info out of the customer base.

As you don't need the flight number, the idea is that customers on the flight itself can make use of the realtime chat when appropriate, but prospective travellers can also peek into a room, review the chat, and ask a few questions like a regular forum.

Here's an example of how I'd like to see the app used - https://quixical.com/channel/b41eb89fca20a5ca422d9c6ffac1577...

GNU/Linux gets used alright, on IoT, servers and VMs, where the desktop is irrelevant.

While Linux community can pat themselves on the back for having Linux kernel as part of ChromeOS and Android, they tend to forget it is hardly exposed to userspace frameworks used by app developers.
