You are welcome! I separate workspaces by their purposes so to speak, so the one with qutebrowser[1] is divided in four squares, with qutebrowser, aerc[2], profanity[3], and an empty terminal window.

When I need to focus on one, I just switch it to full screen with a keyboard shortcut.

mpv --ontop --no-border --on-all-workspaces --autofit=1280x720 --geometry=98%:98% "${YOUTUBE_URL}" &> /dev/null &

Just to complete my previous comment, the command above gives you an YouTube video played by mpv in picture by picture mode, which should always persist on top when switching workspaces in i3wm.

My understanding is if what you proposed happened it would be regressive as less money would go into unemployment due to the substantially reduced payroll taxes collected.

FWIW, note that this is being proposed by Google.

That was a clearly partisan act

Asking a customer to stick to the rules they agreed to and eventually ending the business relationship when the customer chooses not to is hardly a 'partisan act'. Parler could have just done what AWS asked (even temporarily, to keep themselves online while looking for alternatives). They didn't.
These conversations happen so often about anime I wonder if there is some sort of working memory limit on the participants that rapidly removes context from the comment they're replying to:

It's like some sort of tone-deaf comedy skit.
What should you do when you can't stop procrastinating?
I've actually seen how a restaurant is run. Waiters put the tips into a common pot, then split equally. It was their idea.

Drivers, who don't work in close proximity to each other, may have it differently, of course.
Apart from other responses pretty much disproving this, consider which people you're rewarding. Not every place will share the tips with cooks / dish washers / owners / etc. It actually causes conflicts in those places (don't share -> kitchen hates front staff; share -> front staff hates kitchen).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protecti... references https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/37/202.1 which explicitly states that typefaces aren't subject to copyright. Encumbering every piece of printed text with the copyright of the typefaces in question would be... problematic.

That said: programs which render text (this includes typical font formats like ttf which can have all kinds of kerning and hinting information so the fonts look good at multiple resolutions) can be copyrighted - they're not just typefaces, after all - so you're right that Adobe would take issue with just copying their font files.

> Is the particular implementation of a font eligible for copyright but the "design" isn't if I copy it and make my own font that looks the same?

That's roughly my understanding, yes, although I'm not a lawyer. It's also worth noting that trademark can incorporate typefaces/fonts - so if you're making yet another sugary beverage, you might not want to pick the same distinctive typeface as Coca-Cola for your main logo.
> Humans are underrated.

Absolutely.

> I am sure if you listen to beancounters, you won't save money and actually drive the system to the ground and make people unhappy.

Yes and no.

Economic realities are a thing. Organizations that stop producing enough income to cover their expenses soon stop being organizations.

The problem isn't necessarily the counting of beans, but rather how beans distribute over time.

There's a balance to strike there, and both the cultural and regulatory environments in the US push very strongly towards "acquire beans today, regardless as to what this does to tomorrow's bean-acquisition capabilities".

So, yes, the Counters of Beans get a say. Their input matters. But it's not the only thing that needs to be factored.

You can even pass youtube-dl parameters using mpv. The one I use the most is --ytdl-format which corresponds to -f on the youtube-dl side.

Trade can reduce redundancy, that's true. With higher trade barriers between localities, you have one dominant player per locality. With seamless global trade, one player can dominate the entire global market.

However, trade also increases output, and with it, the diversity of goods/services.

60 years ago, television media was dominated by three networks. Today, there are dozens of cable networks, and millions of creators who broadcast through video sharing sites like Youtube. So there are many more sources of video-based media, and that is owing to greater economic sophistication brought about in large part by efficiency gains through greater commercial-exchange/specialization.

We don't have tipping in Australia but in most cafes, restaurants and bars you can expect good service.

A better thing to fix would be to improve people's general happiness by paying them a dependable wage and giving them good health care - you'll probably find they are happier at work and better at their job.
I certainly do fault Google for what they're doing (especially the "long distance calling stopped working about a month ago. No notice, no nothing." part).

At the same time, free services is part of the problem, and I'm glad Google is shutting some of this stuff down. If anything, I think Google's biggest issue in the enterprise has been they just haven't had the corporate DNA to do enterprise-level support well for paying customers. IMO they've improved in that regard in the past couple years.

Maybe it's good that you can't try to trap users on your site --- JS is abusive enough as it is. Then again, perhaps increasing opportunities for abuse will also greatly popularise JS whitelisting.
There's actually no incentive to keep low paid service jobs for any length of time. One of the saddest things in retail for example is the longer you work, the less you actually make; retail pay is so low that your raises will be less than inflation adjusted minimum wage or new hires if you work at a job long enough!

I've seen/had this happen. Bosses had to go to bat for their long term workers because even with raises, they wound up making less than people hired in the past month.
This is amazing! I have very fond memories of dominating my fellow middle schoolers in this game years ago; I wonder how I’d do in this version. :)

> Which serious project would use artifacts from such a place?

Plenty of them, since it's just adding a few lines to either pom.xml or the Gradle script. Sure, maybe there's rules against it in your org, but if it works then a code reviewer might say whatever, there's bigger problems
I used lots of code from Musl, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. I used Marco Paland's printf. I used Doug Lea's malloc. I used LLVM compiler_rt. I used David Gay's floating point conversion utilities. The list goes on. Then I stitched it all together so it goes faster and runs on all operating systems rather than just Linux. See https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html and https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan

Trapping (SYSCALL/INT) is a loose binding. The kernel can evolve all it wants internally. It can introduce new ABIs. Processes are also a loose binding. I think communicating with other tools via pipes and sockets is a fantastic model of cooperation. Same goes for vendoring with static linking. Does that mean I'm going to voluntarily load Linux distro DSOs into my address space? Never again. Programs that do that, won't have a future outside Docker containers.

Also, my executables are VM images. They can boot on metal too. Read https://justine.lol/ape.html and https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/20#issuecomment-... Except unlike a Docker distro container, my exes are more on the order of 16kb in size. That's how fat an executable needs to be, in order to run on six different operating systems and boot from bios too.
That's exactly my point - following the gradient of money you won't get to the global optimum because it's just a short sighted signal. You need to invest into crazy ideas to get anywhere. Unknown unknowns don't get discovered in a systematic way and are not profitable step by step.

This isn’t every restaurant though. My ex-wife used to be a waitress and if there was a pooled tip jar she immediately began looking for a different place without one. Drivers, otoh, usually make at least minimum wage but then they need that money for gas as well.
But if the benefit is to the buyer, what incentive is there for anyone to enter information about the car's history into this blockchain? The person who owns the car isn't going to since it has a chance to reduce the value. And the company that's selling the info wouldn't start putting the info into the blockchain if it meant not being able to sell the data anymore.
To rephrase the sibling comment, if you had an array of four {ABCD} structs, there's basically two ways of storing them on disk:

1. AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD

2. ABCD ABCD ABCD ABCD

One major heuristic in how CPUs make your code fast is to assume that if you access some memory, you're probably interested in the memory nearby. So when you access the first "A" bit of memory (common to both sequences above), depending on the memory layout you use, the CPU might also be smart and load the next bits into memory too -- maybe the next "AA", maybe "BC".

Depending on your workload, one or the other of those might be faster. If you're only interested in the first ABCD element because you're doing

SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=$1

then you'll likely want "row-oriented" data -- the #2 scheme above. But if you're interested in all of the A values and none of the values from B/C/D because you're doing

SELECT AVG(age) FROM users

then you'll likely want something "column-oriented" -- the #1 scheme above.
I think the experience is very different depending on where you work. Your friends are probably working at a relatively fancy restaurant or bar. There's no reason a place like that couldn't pay more to keep good staff if tipping went away. How many of your friends would want to work for tips if they were working at a diner in a small town?
I don't think they are getting paid that much. I think in general people exaggerate. Maybe at peak times it hits $30 an hour, but a lot of the week it can be dead or slow.

This is part of why we don't make sales based on commission in retail stores any more; usually sales in general aren't boing to be affected by service as much as volume of customers into the store. Same I bet w tips

> Parler should not have been de-platformed

With this statement you are implying one of two things:

* You are very unhappy with AWS for de-platforming them

* You think AWS should not have been allowed to do so

If it's the first one, well, you are free to treat that however you like. Stop using AWS yourself, especially if you now fear AWS will do this to you. Don't do business with other companies that use AWS -- you can even block all AWS IPs at your firewall. Tell everyone how bad they are, and encourage others to boycott them too. If AWS continues to de-platform customers that don't seem to deserve it, this will get even easier over time.

If it's the second one though, that raises all kinds of tricky issues. If you run anything that allows user content, and a user posts something that hurts you, are you now obligated to host it (leaving aside illegal content and the tricky jurisdiction issues that go with that)? What if other major customers or users start leaving because you're hosting said content -- are you just supposed to let your site/business effectively die? Are you also forbidden from raising the price to that harmful user to $1-trillion-per-month (since that effectively is a way to "de-platform" them), and if so, what is the maximum price you're allowed to charge and who figures that out?
Thanks for your post. That origin myth never made sense to me in the first place: "OK, so during the holidays when retail needs that spike in capacity again, where do the AWS customers go? Oh yeah, and a lot of those customers also have the same seasonality patterns as Amazon retail."
Hey! Thank you for the feedback. I put it on my todo list :-)
It actually has these. Mostly in the extreme south east and in some other places where the boundary of the ice was in the ice age. Highest point in the Netherlands is about 300m above sea level.
> It is a difference in who decides how much they’re paid. In a traditional business their pay is at the discretion of the business and thus in competition with what could be the business’s profits.

I don't really see how this is any different to me going into an American restaurant today and having the waiter's pay be at the discretion of myself, and in competition with what could be my money. At the end of the day it's still a person deciding how much money to give the waiter, knowing that they can keep any that's left over.

> I’m probably paying more too because of being guilted into feeling like I must tip x% because I’m directly responsible for the person’s wages.

Entirely plausible, but I see eliminating this consequence of tipping to be a huge positive. If a significant portion of someone's pay relies on guilt, then clearly the actual service they're providing isn't worth what they're being compensated for.

Two years ago I'd have fully agreed with where you're coming from, but this latest dose of celebritized ignorance has caused the deaths of half a million Americans and wasted a year of all of our lives. There's a significant difference between our traditional self-interested domestic-looting foreign-malevolent power structure, and one that's actively self-destructive. The question has become more like what is DC going to do to you?
On the one hand, Google deplatformed Parler by blocking their app from the Play Store, and on the other hand it continues to be "cool with" 3rd-party content on Youtube which is "openly calling for violence against and murder of elected officials".

https://youtu.be/jRLH8E_CpP0?t=205

For the record, I'm absolutely fine with Google deciding what content stays and what content goes when it comes to their hosting infrastructure. But in so doing, they need to retain legal culpability for the content that remains.

> no culture of customer service at all in Europe

To be honest it sounds like a reboot of MySpace

Which, to me, sounds pretty great! But at the same time, MySpace lost

It's possible MySpace lost to Facebook in a very different landscape than we have today, as far as people's perception of privacy, and curated feeds, and politics, etc. So maybe your project won't share its fate. Though it might be worth studying its success and failure anyway

Anyway: good luck! I think you've got a clear vision and I'd love to see it succeed

Edit: One question, does a user need a separate account for every site they subscribe to? If so that could be pretty inconvenient. If my family wanted to use this in place of Facebook to stay in touch, that's N^2 user accounts. Not sure what the solution would be (an optional, centralized server purely for authentication and permissions?)
So, you'd have to tell the participants that they're going to be deliberately exposed to the virus; I don't think you're going to get a representative sample of the population agreeing to that.
While that does sound like a problem do you think that tipping would fix it?
Customer service in Japan is hands down superior to in the US.

Maybe other factors like culture matter more than tipping?
Generally you have little to no service interaction in these stores. The people in them are order takers, not sellers; whenever they are pushed to sell, the customer finds it intrusive since normally its value-less or negative products (cough, extended warranties).

There also never is enough staff. The staff doesn't have time to provide customer service in meaningful ways; they more or less clean, stock, cashier, and do everything instead of be dedicated sales people. They literally cannot do so unless its very high value sales where the service is the key to making a big, infrequent sale over many small ones.
I'm kind of two minds here, the terms were clear from the start (it's a rental and the developer program is cheaper than it was at the time of the PowerPC to Intel transition).

I had been running Manjaro on an acer swift 3 but decided to try Garuda qtile this evening. The install had one hiccup near the end which looked like this:

https://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=garuda+linux+qtile+install...

I shut down the live USB stick, rebooted, and everything worked fine despite the error. I did the pamac update. Everything was quick including wifi and barrier worked on my existing win/mac/lin setup without fail installed from AUR.

Configured a few things on the desktop and everything I depend on worked out of the box, which is surprising given the Ryzen 4700U that requires a recent kernel to function well. This was 5.10 so good enough. Testing power functions as soon as I can find them.

Chuckle.

The default qtile config doesn't make power easy to find.

Happy so far though.

Terminal config is perfect out of the box.

I just needed to tweak the fonts a bit up for my aging eyes on the 1920x1080@14". Ouch!

Really enjoying Garuda with qtile for the turnkey tiling WM that's almost as good as manjaro i3 or Regolith if you like their Ubuntu build.
