A different way of doing the same thing for text editing, on which both are great. I use evil-mode just because of muscle memory from vim.

I have been using a jetbrain IDE recently and surprisingly, the vim plugin is pretty decent. So knowing vim lets me use both the IDE and emacs with less friction.
Where did you get the idea that open source and free software are mutually exclusive?
Stuff does happen. I actually got stood up for my first in-person discussion with someone from my current company. But, in all fairness, it was informal, a call came up, and their admin didn't have my cell. (The scheduled meeting wasn't even in the office.)

Not sure about @r2x0t but @uhf_satcom is involved in some pretty amazing space rf projects, poke around their tweet history. Some crazy smart folks out there.
I would imagine there's a review process for allegations already.
Cobol is alive the same way Latin is. Unless you're sure you can get a job in the Vatican you're screwed if you learn it.
"Curiosity" has caused me to try to get more involved in business meetings/decisions, but that's often not the 'curiosity' tech managers want. As you say, they want people who are 'curious' about new tech and will learn in their personal time.

I've done this for decades, and there's a degree of regret about how much time I've spent 'learning' and 'being curious'. Not a huge regret, but... it's help reduce the need to dive in to some things altogether. But.. that comes across as "not interested in learning" to some people. No... I can usually just tell after a quick skim if there's going to be business value in tech X. We don't need to spend weeks prototyping something that is obviously not a fit... unless... we're doing this for show, or politics, or something else. If that's the case, just say "we're using X" not "let's investigate X to see if it can meet our needs".

Good on you for having non-tech hobbies. I doodle on guitar, and am 'curious' about that, but it's not going to land me any tech jobs. :)
The same applies to the frontend.
Bombardier's C-series was just starting to sell well among big carriers (Delta) before the US sabotaged them to protect Boeing, which brought them to their knees, forced them to sell everything off and they probably won't survive the pandemic, so yes.
My guess is fraud detection partners? Some company that aggregates transaction data to spot patterns of abuse or fraud, and in turn provides services to their customers to mitigate it.
I remember people using arj exactly because of that feature. Compression with arj was worse than zip but people used it because you could divide an arj archive in floppies. At the time, rar could do it too, but it only got popular later.
I assume there is safeguards. But for the same reason these lists aren't public, their policies aren't either.
The Microsoft Exchange Hack and the Great Email Robbery
> I've tried to get a build system going a few times in MS land, but I'm too used to the relative simplicity of gcc and make files and find I have little patience for what feels like massive overkill for building simple command line tools.

Embrace the target: use Visual Studio (community edition)

You can still write in vim if you want, you just tab over and hit F5 when you want to run.

MSBuild has a steep learning curve, but I've recently managed to climb it using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuil...

Coming from make, a make target is a msbuild "item". Variables become properties. Build steps are "tasks" - generally you use the builtin ones.
I believe that is a reference to a Community Chest card in the game of Monopoly.
Especially the responsive modifiers are a huge enabler. We are actually several month in the making of a very specialized mobile website which is gonna be released as an android and a ios app. Recently we are asked to add a desktop version. I was really concerned about our given deadline and said to the client, it would be possible but would probably take one or two weeks to develop. After telling my colleague that we have to make an desktop version out of the app, we were both concerned. But it turns out that after one day in the making, we did have a fairly good looking desktop version which the client really liked.

I am pretty sure that with plain old css and our poor architecture we wouldnt be able to deliver in time.
> The problem is that 95% of users are awesome but 5% are VERY aggressive and angry.

Interestingly enough I used to have a customer facing job in a completely different industry and it was exactly the same situation there. 90-95% of customers were great; they were pleasant and easy to deal with. But man, the bad ones took up sooo much time and energy, it was ridiculous.
ARJ had that feature and it predates RAR by a few years.
I'm sorry but that's a naive understanding of the realities of capitalism - for instance, what of the case of local baker versus the multinational? They sell the same thing (often the local store will provide better quality), but one can clearly outbid the other in order to muscle out the competition. Extraction of wealth and provision of value are overlapping but not identical concepts. Take high ticket luxuries as another example - what provides more value to a community, a Lamborghini dealership or a food bank? Most Lamborghinis spend their lives sitting in a garage. Which business earns more money? What is the value of $100 to a billionaire compared to Josie Average? To one it's a decimal point, to the other it might be the difference between eating or not that month.

So I disagree with your disagreement - you and/or the OP may couch it in the language of economics but it boils down to the same thing; more money == better.
Am I the only one not very fond of this style of writing? It's the constant pauses and hiccups that I'm reading. Four paragraphs into it, and I still don't get a lot of information about what the author is trying to convey.

In good essays, the first and last sentence in a paragraph are often enough to summarize the points. It helps set the context, and makes it much easier for the reader to make a mental map of the overall idea. In this article, its "hiccup" style of writing makes it much harder to build a mental map. You can't predict where it will go until you fully read the sentence.

I usually enjoy reading most of PG essays. For this one, I don't enjoy reading it, and I stopped reading after paragraph 4.
If Broadcom of all companies switched to the GIC, I wonder if there's any chance Apple would do the same in a later chip – in a less rushed dev cycle that's not just "quickly desktopify the iDevice SoC". (Also SMMU along with the GIC…)

Of course the unfortunate reality is that there is just no motivation for them to do this. Goddamn vertical integration! But.. maybe Boot Camp could motivate this? Though so far it seems they're just pushing virtualization instead.

But the semantic HTML part is absolutely not related to Tailwind. Aside from the component library, Tailwind is a CSS framework that operates (mostly) on the class property of each HTML tag. The semanticness of HTML is defined by the tag itself and additional properties like ARIA, data-*, and various other identifiers like those from the RDF schema standards. It is an issue completely orthogonal to atomic CSS.
Governments probably fall under 3rd parties?
Yes I find that really interesting!

It's one of those things (like pieces of code) where:

A) You should build often enough that the institutional knowledge and practice can be handed down effectively between generations

or

B) Not build until it breaks and the people doing it have to rediscover and properly design it again from scratch.

It's the dangerous middle ground where people need to modify/rebuild something in the meantime, but lost the practice and knowledge about how to do it properly!

I have the bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth touchpad. Not quite the same ergonomics as the one in the laptop, but I still prefer it (bluetooth touchpad) to the magic mouse.

The apple keyboard I have is very close to the scissor switches that preexisted the much maligned butteryfly switches. Not sure the current bluetooth keyboards use the same switches or the newer version of the scissor switches,.
I'm not complaining about being downvoted to negative after an initial jump up, but I'm curious why, and the comments don't say.

Was it the criticism of doing 60 interviews in 30 days, because some people think that's a good idea, or want to do that?

Was it because the wish for an indicator when a person is "interviewing excessively or indiscriminately" would be a privacy invasion, or more shift of the balance of power towards employers?
I love Duolingo but they really drop the ball it making it great and not just good. Why can't I bookmark useful info, see it all in one place, share stuff etc. This solves onr of those.

At this point I am wondering why do I even have a wimpy ULV processor to write code 8 hrs a day. The sheer amount of time I could save by switching to even a basic 4 core 45-65w Desktop class CPU.

This is essentially was the trick I thought of for my project of "genuinely mobile desktop replacement." Ironically, it was COVID which put a pause on it, and prior to it frequent foreign assignments.

Were I to proceed with it before COVID, I might have hit the jackpot by now.

Modal editing.

Command mode lets you manipulate text using a full keyboard as shortcuts. Depending on setup this can reduce the amount of chording you do.

Visual mode lets you select text. By character, line, or region/block. I find this easier than emacs selection.

Insert mode what you use to enter text.
Two thoughts:

1. Maybe they are selling purchase data to hedge funds? Lots of possible use cases.

2. Maybe some regulation only requires them to disclose if the information is sold for advertising or marketing (I think I remember this showing up on some post-CFPB credit card disclosure forms). Therefore the lack of such a disclosure for other uses for the information could mean nothing, just that they are minimizing discourses that aren’t legally obligated.

>What really amazes me is that there isn't a similar blogging platform that is open source, easy to deploy and at least a little visually pleasing.

That's literally Wordpress. Installed by default on almost every shared host anywhere. There's even a free tier on wordpress.com.

I've tried static site generators - Lektor was the latest - but every one of them fell short of what I wanted in some way or another. But Wordpress always works.
I built four tools that looked and functioned almost exactly like this about six years ago, but using PHP.

They were called "Picture Perfect," "Portrait Perfect," "Partner Perfect," and "Process Perfect."

I initially developed Picture Perfect for my reporter colleagues at a news radio station to use for our website, and they loved it.

Just drag a photo on the site, crop it exactly how you want to our website's exact aspect, and hit download to save it to a work machine.

My homophobic boss didn't like that I had this on my own server and didn't get approval to share it first, so he ended up sending the link to SoCast (a CMS company) and they built the functionality into the backend a week later. Whatever- it made our lives easier.

Then I moved on and worked at a small local news blog site, and repurposed these tools to use there. We had a quota of articles to write, post, and schedule on social media per shift, and these got 45 minutes of manual photo editing down to five minutes per shift.

These were the tools:

Picture Perfect: Drag and drop a photo, then draw a crop box on it and output exactly the dimension you need.

Portrait Perfect: Drag and drop a portrait photo, and output a version of it centred on a blown-up, blurry version of itself.

Partner Perfect: Drag and drop two photos, draw a crop box on each, and output a single image of them sitting side by side (useful for two portraits of sports stars, or when there were two mugshots).

Process Perfect: Drag and drop a photo and either output a black and white version or a version with a colour multiply effect applied.

When I left that job, I pulled them offline, but recently started work on a site that merged all four of them (behind a login, where you can create any aspect and save your creations). It's buggy and slow, but I haven't had the time to finish polishing it: https://phototools.prezince.com/

But either way, it definitely provided value, and I'm glad someone has done it using only front end code. Good work!
It's standard for Cocoa-based apps, I think, but it doesn't appear among the system-wide shortcuts in System Preferences on my Big Sur system, at least. The only shortcuts offered under Input Sources there are to select the previous or next input source (which are set to Cmd-Space, Cmd-Opt-Space).

A command to open the Emoji & Symbols palette is generally at the end of each application's Edit menu, and that's where its shortcut appears. But in current Firefox the item in the Edit menu shows the shortcut as Cmd-Space (not Cmd-Ctl-Space), and it doesn't work for me because the system-wide shortcut takes precedence.

If I disable that shortcut in System Preferences (which may well be the default, particularly if multiple input methods are not enabled), then Cmd-Space does work in Firefox to bring up the Emoji palette -- but note that it's not the standard Cmd-Ctl-Space combination.
The general issue with this sort of oracle is the potential to create prediction markets based on someone's dead/alive state. I'm sure you can imagine why that could become problematic.
Well, I think people tend to assume there were safeguards in place for things like this, too.

Do Solar Panel Increase Home Value
In 2021, there is not really a question about whether your government is going to track most people's movements - the question is actually if that should be used for productive uses also. Which is a difficult question, don't get me wrong, and arguably more interesting.
Do they have a similar list for customers?

You're making quite a few points, some I agree with and some I don't.

> NFTs are just like generating random numbers and then bidding who of the rich will give more money.

> Art progresses human knowledge, spirit and soul it has embedded intrinsic attributes that makes us better people. NFTs do not have any of those.

Like art this is really up to interpretation. As I mentioned in the previous comment NFTs have unique properties and as a result some intrinsic value. I'm not to argue the specific price of this tweet but that it shouldn't be dismissed outright.

For me an NFT of Jack's tweet embodies the time and effort spent building twitter the platform. Whether or nor Jack needs money is irrelevant in the same way that an artist's net worth isn't relevant to the value of their art, as is the time period their art was created.

Of course compared to the span of the universe ownership is meaningless, but that's irrelevant in this discussion. Twitter, like ethereum will likely remain in ~100 years, and if it doesn't exist be part of history books in ~1000.

This is also a unique property of NFTs, as ownership is via asymmetric cryptography until prime factorisation is broken or the blockchain is dead, ownership remains.

Once again, I'm not saying that this tweet is worth 2000 Eth, or that he should be selling it. All I'm trying to say is that NFTs have unique properties that don't exist in the digital world and shouldn't be entirely discounted because a millionaire is exchanging money with a billionaire.

I find just throwing code into github is my perfect level of open sourcing. It's public and I can pull the code into any project.

No pesky user requests or stars.

Accepting pull requests on smaller projects seems strange. If I wrote this why do I want someone else sharing credit.
The key here is the phrase, "currently takes in".

There is a huge amount of taxes that the ultra-wealthy are currently NOT paying. In fact, the vast majority of income taxes are actually paid by the lower and middle classes, because once you hit a certain level of income you have enough money to pay professionals to help you shelter your money and avoid taxes.

For example, Warren Buffet only paid $1.8 million in taxes in 2015, even though his wealth was worth 72 billion at the time. His wealth literally grew 12 billion that year, and he only paid $1.8 million in taxes.

That means he paid only 0.015% in taxes, in terms of wealth growth vs income taxes paid.

Meanwhile, someone earning $100K would have paid around 20% of their income...
Banning the church and jailing all priests is likely to be a net positive effect on society. I have failed to see any religious institution that solves the problem of stable empires or societies. Maybe it's about time we treat delusions of religion like we do all other delusions.
I rarely see instances where kubernetes actually makes sense over just using regular AWS services (load balancing, autoscaling, AMIs, etc.) directly. It seems like k8s just adds a mostly superfluous extra layer of abstraction with a rather user-unfriendly interface.

Not sure what incident you're referring to, but school board is an elected position. Politicians, of all people, should not expect job security and need to be transparent and accountable to the voting public. They don't deserve privacy at all, at least not in their professional capacity. I like privacy, sure, but I achieve that by not running for public office.
I use it regularly. It integrates quite well with emacs and if you use the evil-collection you can add vim-ness to other modes.

Personally, I mostly just use evil for modal editing, as I am a long time vim user. Then I use the emacs shortcuts on top of that.

Despite the unethical and immoral behavior of Uber executive leadership, from the outside, Uber seems to have a better safety profile than Lyft. They added safety features to the app, such as emergency service requests, long before Lyft did. Both companies probably did it in response to sexual assaults that both companies enabled, but Uber took quicker action.

I've seen some truly horrifying behavior from Lyft in terms of safety that makes me cautious of wanting to use the app, despite liking Lyft's public presence better. I suspect it's in the interest of growth and gaining market share to have things like lax-er driver background checks so they get more drivers. In the end it ends up hurting them a lot more, and can lead to terrible things for riders.

Yes, it's a function of there being other companies in the mix. I've only been in that position once right out of engineering grad school. As it turns out, the position I (probably incorrectly) wanted was from the government and they didn't have any flexibility.
