They have released at least two auto-updates which have broken sidequest functionality. First time I had to reinstall sidequest, second time they removed the way to access BMBF and now quest is collecting dust because I'm not faithful that they wont keep automatically installing breaking changes.

I guess I'll just turn off autoupdates once I get it working again so they don't break it a third time.
Yes, I think it is the degree of the regulations.

Examples: no cars parked on your front yard.

No solar panels on your roof.

That would be too far.
When I'm doing it, I version subprojects independently using Git tags, but that's primarily because we mix and match versions in production, which creates need to make version numbering semantic.

If we were doing continuous delivery, too, I could see there not being much value in messing with independent versioning, semver, whatever. Just make today's date the universal version numbering system for all modules and move along.
Same here! I pay for servers that I care about, but having another vpn bouncer / exit node is nice. Once you've got some sort of devops setup, it's easy to add more machines. The main bummer was finding out the "two instances" have to be in the same datacenter.

One thing I have noticed is their network seems to have high jitter.
Is this not what law is for? To stop this sort of thing.
For chargers, I've had some seriously laptop-destroying ones. For phone voltages (ignoring fast charging), it isn't that big of a deal, but USB-C PD laptop chargers I am extremely hesitant to buy on Amazon.

Yeah. Apple says they don't like developers going to the press, but its pretty much the only thing that actually works.

Well, for devices, its basically customer support via threat of class action lawsuit. I'm still a little miffed I had to pay $79 three times to "fix" the iPhone 6 and didn't get a refund after they finally acknowledged the issue.

Spotify is the largest player, by far, and pays the least per customer.

The "average observed per-stream payout on Apple Music is $0.00551 vs. $0.00318 for Spotify."[0] That said, a lot of that is because Spotify has free users, while Apple does not.

How close does Happy Eyeballs Version 2 [1] come to doing this? And I wonder how widely implemented that algorithm is now.

The starting share price is 1.00 for all members at the time of registration.

- When anyone BUYS shares in your profile, the price will increase by 0.01
- When anyone SELLS shares in your profile, the price will decrease by 0.01

Each trade is fixed at 100 shares

There are a few limits we placed for the launch:
[1] A maximum of 1,000 shares in another member per day
- So, if you wanted to BUY 5,000 shares, it would need to be spread across 5 different days
- The same logic applies if want to SELL shares

[2] A maximum of 100,000 shares total in another member

Wouldn't changing the phrase to "1st Amendment" get their point across even better, if that's what they meant? It's 8 characters shorter than "freedom of expression", so if anything it's the latter that's bogging things down.
Does this work?:

Enable it, then set home and work. Then disable it.
and why sign a deal or agree to terms that you don't agree to? Just don't go to Spotify?
I think of farmers as intuitive understanders of physics, chemistry, and biology. Manipulating these things is essentially what they do all day long.
I think it's fair, though, to say that it's likely that the implementation and/or semantics may be more based on other JVM languages, who have to work on Java's terms.

In particular, I'm talking about the fact that Java doesn't really have "copy types" or "pass by copy" or whatever. So, sure, C has struct, Swift has struct, etc, but Java can't really model its version off of the way those work.
I've yet to encounter non organic dust that doesn't get blown away by high pressure air. Even if you had 25% losses after a month as the linked article suggests, cleaning them "well enough" once a week should give you enough efficiency to just add 10% more area and call it a day.
It's hard to argue that Spotify is a monopoly when Apple Music, whatever Google's service is called now and Tidal have pretty much the same selection. And you can buy DRM free music still on iTunes and Qobuz. And even physical media. Oligopoly at worst.

Not considering async/await (because I'm not really a fan), they're neck-and-neck in my opinion. I don't think C# has been as careful with its abstractions and the general aesthetic of the language to the degree that Java has; but in many cases you can almost compile a block of Java as C# and vice versa. I think the primary differentiator is what toolchain/ecosystem you prefer, and I'm solidly on the Java side of that line.

That being said, I'm currently getting paid to write C#, so if you've got any resources for converts, I'd love them! :)
Interesting analogy vs car transmission. I always find auto frustrating because it doesn’t give me the love of control I’m comfortable with ...
Maven runs on 1 out of the 4 mentioned platforms. There are no Android, iOS, or web builds of Maven.

Maven is used to ship dependences for the other platforms, but it is not run itself on those other platforms. Shipping an Android-specific library on Maven isn't magically portable (which is what's common here - OS-specific libraries on Maven). It's still Android-specific.
You're right, except that it is not unionized workers parasitizing profits (unions are decreasing in numbers everywhere), it is shareholders parasitizing companies to extract whatever value they can. This is the big difference. In Asia, shareholders don't have the power to parasitize profits, and they allow ample competition between manufacturers. See, for example, the absurd situation of Apple. Americans think it is nice to have a single company nearly monopolizing device production, as if it were their right. In Asia people would have already started hundreds of companies to fight their monopolistic advantage (as they currently have in China).
It’s not inherently clear to me that one play should be paid more than another play.

In fact, having a different fee per play dependent on the user is a pretty opaque and unclear metric. “How much are 1 million plays worth? It depends on your audience - if your listeners listen to lots of music you get paid less per play, and you will just have to trust us to compute an appropriate fee for you correctly.”

No matter how you cut these things there are pluses and minuses . You seem to think that Universal should get paid less for a single Katy Perry stream played from a global playlist compared to a small indie song streamed in a private playlist, and while that’s a valid opinion it’s not intrinsic or even self evident to me.
I'd be interested to better understand the timeline around this statement:

Its likely there are multiple developers who care about loading times but who would fear for their performance appraisal if they said they would spend 3 days improving loading time and then spent 5 days improving loading time.

Vast majority ( if not All ) of Fortune Global 2000 use Java as their Main Programming Language for their BackEnd.

And this isn't changing anytime soon. Their initial investment, continue investment and Java Ecosystem itself are still marching forward. I dont see any language ecosystem that could match or challenge Java any time soon. Remember you only see Java Haters on HN and Reddit. In the Real World it is all about Business Values Delivered and Get Shit Done.

JVM in itself is a monster with State of the Art GC and JIT.

All of the above means there is a positive feedback loop into making Java better. And there are things that were in the work for 10 years ( Like GraalVM ) before hitting mainstream. And many more to come.

No, but Intel should offer replacement parts for a reasonable time for what can be replaced. I don't know if RAM slots or a BIOS ROM chip are actually resolderable, but if they are then those parts should be offered for example.
It's an interesting question. The cost structures are obviously very different, and while the assumption is that the internet always makes things cheaper and better, I haven't dug into that to see how it really plays out in this context.
It doesn’t, but it usually does impact others. Whether or not you think it’s sufficient for government intervention is obviously political, whether it be maintaining a neighborhood’s design to prop up resale value and keep out riff raft via HOA, or not letting people cut down trees for environmental or even aesthetic reasons, etc.

Almost everything we do impacts others though, in some way.
Well, Docker is a Linux technology. If you really need Docker that badly and can't take the overhead of a VM, then it sounds like you would be better off just running Linux like the rest of us. :)

While technically true, you can still improve performance of existing Elisp code by redefining certain commonly-used Elisp functions perform better in Deno.

Sure the Elisp bytecode itself doesn't evaluate faster, but that distinction isn't really important here. The end-to-end perf of certain functions can be improved in a backwards-compatible way.
Real subtle, Colin.
I don't know about "ceded". The container execution environment wasn't a very defensible position. People recognized very quickly that Docker's execution environment was a very thin layer over existing Linux kernel functionality. At my company in 2013, we launched our own internal container containerization about the same time Docker came out, based on LXC.

That said, I agree about a higher level PaaS-style offering being a better fit for most companies.
> The HOA was here before I moved in. Why are you so angry? To be literal, the reason I think "I" (actually the HOA) have a say is because a bunch of legal paperwork says so. All the home owners signed it.

They were forced to sign it if they wanted to purchase property. If it was optional I wouldn't be angry. To me the entire reason for owning instead of renting would be to be able to modify the hell out of it to my house of my dreams. Yes I could avoid moving into an HOA neighborhood, but HOAs are spreading like viruses and it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a place that doesn't have one.

I would just ask that the law make HOAs optional when purchasing property. If you want the benefits HOAs give you (if any), you're welcome to join, but you shouldn't be forced to join one just because you want to move into a certain district.

> A year from now I won't have any say, because I won't be on the board.

So now the house you supposedly "own" will be governed by some people that you don't even know. If they don't like your yellow car they could make a fit of it. I'm angry because if I owned property in a free country they shouldn't even be legally allowed to make a fit of something that isn't impinging on their freedom.

> Generally, I like the HOA since they mow my lawn.

I'd rather save the HOA fees and pay for a lawnmowing service.

Agreed - I suspect Apple (and others) are doing this as fast as they can to de-risk.

They can't blow up their existing relationships in the mean time, but they can blow them up once they have another option in place. At the very least, they'll have more leverage in negotiation.
There was not anything in that list that I wasn't already aware of. I was expecting some kind of smoking gun that caused me to say "Aha! THAT is how I know Google is EVIL!" and it was never there. Half the things are opt in, the other half are disclosed if you read the TOS/AUP at all or even just think about why they don't charge for basic services. So yawn whatever.
> What he did and the way it got acknowledged can net him millions of dollars in the future income.

I think people over estimate how valuable reputation is. It can open doors but that is all. Being the guy who reduced loading times in GTA may get some VC interest but that doesn't automatically equate to making any money. It may get you a job and get you paid a few thousand more than usual. But honestly, I've never seen one of these famous devs make lots of money. They'll get offered CTO roles but that's been the max.
No, but it includes the vast majority of the 20-30 year old college grads that comprise the rank and file of Biden’s staff. And those people are influential.

Yes, also, make sure (OP) the app you are viewing the saved document in is not doing the smoothing (upsampling, interpolating).
>Why aren't there more avenues to hear "random new artist that matches my tastes"?

Because Bandcamp is perfect at this and nobody can beat them.

I say that with tongue in cheek, but they have been the platform for average musicians to self-publish on for a while. They've even totally foregone their cut periodically during the pandemic to help artists. And unlike Spotify, artists are able to apply their own branding to their pages. I've never met a musician with a bad thing to say about them or their platform.
The userland version is also from the original author of WireGuard and not that bad actually.

I'm currently running it in an OPNsense box to serve our internet needs. I have a connection that without VPN can push through about 400-800 Mbps, and when I put the VPN on for all traffic, I can still push 400-800 Mbps through my connection.

The in-kernel version can do the same with less CPU usage, and can probably drive multi-gigabit connections without any trouble.
> IMO, they're neither effective, nor dangerous;

Are you disputing that 5 people died in the Capitol insurrection on January 6, or that it was caused by the far right? This is a clear example of "dangerous", is it not?

These were the people that the GitHub employee was referring to as "Nazis", although not 100% literally: I'm sure that not all of them were actual Nazis, many were likely only Nazi sympathisers or other violent authoritarian fellow-travellers.
1) I use VPN anyway, so Bing doesn't know who I am.

2) Bing belongs to Microsoft whose primary business is to sell software, not ads, so they are less dependent on collecting user information.

3) If I wanted a search aggregator, I would use a non-US company, for example, Qwant.
Yesterday was in a meeting discussing our build pipeline and we had this moment of introspection where we realized "wow, we do a completely containerized, micro-serviced app and it actually works really well for the most part". When Docker was very new I remember dealing with all manner of bizarre issues, mostly because the engineers just weren't used to how to use it yet. But if you have some decent idea of how to architect it then Docker is a huge boon IMO.

People are also totally right to question why some new fancy tool is needed when the old way works. Its best to just view all these things as tools at your disposal rather than necessities.
It's mostly short-sighted shareholders looking at quarterly results. I'm not sure long-term shareholders like the games NVIDIA is playing with the companies.

They lost Tesla for self driving, Waymo didn't even consider them, even though they had early advantage in AI. Comma.ai started with NVIDIA chip as well. I think Jen Huang is brilliant, but he's listening to the wrong people.
Isn't the traditional approach a class-action lawsuit? As long as the damages were high enough to cause other companies that might engage in equally nasty tactics to think twice.
+1 It might be a bit pricy, but the tech support is amazing.

I just spent a few weeks working with them to debug a transient kernel panic with my new Thelio. Throughout the entire process, I talked to support techs with actual agency, and not just automata reading a script. Serious kudos to System76.

(The problem ultimately turned out to be a clearly labeled experimental feature I'd turned on a few months earlier and forgotten about. Ooops...)

The Thelio is my daily driver, and PopOS just fades into the background.
Aha, i think so.

But i need to spend some times with Windows softwares, too ;)
Aside to the aside - you might find that applying a sharpening filter after the Gaussian gives a good result, as it won't reintroduce every kind of aliasing, and can reduce the appearance of blurriness.
I don't think it makes sense that cellular activation, which has not been active for several years now, would lock down the entire device, refusing me access to my own data, not to mention being able to use the device over local WiFi network.
