I am from Brazil and I can say... things are screwed hard.

1. Food prices are rising fast, I am literally spending double per month now of what I spent 8 months ago.

2. The shipping shortage led to a severe deficit of materials, my shop sell stuff to auto manufacturers, and one of them told me they will have to shut down the whole factory because they can't get their hands on a passenger seat shipment, and already have their yard full of incomplete cars.

3. The deficit even affected politics: we had elections recently, I talked to one mayor candidate in person, and the candidate complained they couldn't make certain forms of campaigning, for example handing out flags, because the flag manufacturer was struggling to get a shipment of plastic to make the flag handles!

4. Some cities there been utter chaos as trucks with produce pile up waiting for containers, this week in particular people almost came to blows because trucks started to fill up a city, and the mayor banned crowds from the farmer market because COVID, leading to farmers to start to unload produce in the middle of the street and grind the whole city economy to a halt.

5. My shop been trying to stock products because we can't rely on imports, this has been extremely crazy, we get shipments at random dates, demand spikes on random dates too, we ran out of physical space, manufacturers been raising prices to us out of the blue (sometimes two months in a row)´, and another manufacturer seemly just gave up, whenever we call them, they say there is no trucks available so they won't bother even trying to manufacture whatever we ordered.
I really do not understand the appeal of Svelte, it seems to be making all the same horrendous mistakes as Vue (bad templating/DSL that shoehorns control flow and bindings into DOM representation, esoteric lifecycle hooks etc) and the only advantage it clearly has over other frameworks that I can see is simple components can generally be written more concisely.

Are there actually any tangible benefits to using it over other frameworks, or is this all just a heap of people getting excited because it's "new and shiny" (compared to React, Angular etc)?
The article seemed more concerned with making sure the FSF was blown up, rather than with creating something to move forward the concerns brought up.

This is especially confusing since the existence of the FSF doesn't really impact one way or another the existence of other groups pushing forward other agendas. The only risk is one group losing mindshare to the other.

I can certainly see supporting free software to ensure user's rights as well as supporting other sorts of 'public software infrastructure' to ensure security or availability of services at the same time.

My guess is some pent up frustration with the political infighting in the FSF.

The political opponent isn't the Overton Window.

It's the 2-party system and the ratchet effect.

No matter how the population feels on a particular issue, as long as the elites of both parties disagree, there is no way for it to be implemented. A wedge issue will be substituted and strategic voting will ensure compliance.

Then, the issue will be substituted in the public discourse with a choice between the status-quo and something even worse, or something marginaly better and something significantly worse.

In the end, there is no way to campaing as long as you have both political institutions against you.

In the United States, there is no statistically significant correlation between the sympathy of the "body politic", if you take that to be the mass of voters, and actual policy[0].

Put simply, your rationalization is a feel-good narrative. And that's not even considering media capture, manufactured consent, ideological indoctrination through cultural hegemony, etc...

My partner is Costa Rican and thus we’ve discussed living there for some chunk of our future. The thing I haven’t been able to get over is the lack of emissions standards: if you’re stuck in traffic (common around San Jose, or en route to any of the well known beaches), expect to inhale a ton of exhaust. For an otherwise eco-friendly country, this really stood out to me, and led to a lot of headaches (literally - air quality so poor I ended up with migraines).

Beyond that: San Jose is great to work from, but I didn’t find reliable fast internet anywhere else.
That randomness has to be massively constrained, though. Well over 99.9 percent of inputs are guaranteed to lead to bad results. For example if we're randomly way pointing a drone, we're almost guaranteed not to be sending it somewhere useful.
Actually, Maxwell (9xx) already supports hardware-accelerated H.265 decoding, but on first-gen Maxwell (the higher-end GTX 970/980 at least) it's not pure hardware decoding and didn't work on Linux last I tried.
I've often said that the US government can, and will, outlaw crypto if it starts to feel threatened.

That's not going to happen. Code and money are speech and bitcoin is both. Outlawing bitcoin would be unconstitutional.

It would be one of the easiest cases the Supreme Court ever had.

It’s treated as property by the IRS and a commodity by the CFTC and exchanges are regulated by the SEC. The US government has already approved it.
Learning through encounter seems to parallel a lot of human learning though.

The question is, can it then apply partial applications of learned techniques to create unique offenses and defenses in novel situations I think.
It’s the other way round actually. On iOS you can install an adblock ruleset provider that Safari can use natively. On Android it’s only VPN or an adblock-enabled browser (that is usually yet another set of issues) because Chrome is adblock’s enemy. At least that’s my experience after long research while using both OS (recently, mid '20-21).
I’m surprised that it’s “perks” and not “get a ticket to the show” which is pretty much the only perk I would be interested in. Swag might be a nice extra but if I’m trying to get a performer to come to my town it’s to see them perform. Clearly I’m at least willing to front one ticket.

Why would I put up less than the cost of a ticket in exchange for a t-shirt or something for the privilege of buying a ticket when I could put up the cost of a ticket and a t shirt which surely would be more enticing?

The fact that they could eke out an existence in such a challenging environment after so much went wrong just seemed a bit far-fetched.
I hate that argument. I Absolutely despise it. Right now you have a defeatist's attitude.

Imagine you're standing in front of a bear cage. Imagine if that bear cage was going to open in the next ten seconds. Imagine there was a button on the wall that you could press to keep that cage closed. Would you press it? Would you want other people to be able to press it if they were your situation?

The example doesn't even have to be that drastic, imagine any good or bad consequence at all. It would be advantageous to have a button that controls whether it happens. Right now we are not in control and humans have always striven to have control.

My sense of self-preservation it not just for me - I feel it for all of humanity, present and future. If you still disagree with me that's fine but if you're going to be logically consistent while espousing the belief that humanity shouldn't exist because we use too many resources the generous thing to do would be to off yourself first. Please don't though, instead help the rest of us figure out a way for more humans to live happily while improving our current world. There is no reason we can't. None. We just haven't figured it out.
My understanding is that these were used as what we currently refer to as treasuries. I.e., debt that the government owes to an investor. So, if you want to lend the government some money, you get half a piece of wood with some notches indicating how much you lent. Then when it is time to collect you go to the government show them your piece of wood and if it matches you get your money plus whatever interest.

So if they do not match the government simply does not give you your money.
If it doesn't have to be natively compiled then PyQT would be my first choice. If it has to be compiled to native code then C# + WPF should be good enough. My understanding is that this is just a personal tool, so PyQT should be good enough. If you don't really need a lot of GUI then Python + Tkinter is also pretty good.

Reason for Python: very easy to interact with database and emails. Can put up something useful in under 15 mins and under 15 lines of code.
Pretty standard Microsoft strategy really. Once they decide they dominate a market they figure there's no reason to invest another cent into improving their product offering. See also: Internet Explorer

> all over the old IE languages, neuter nouns have the same form for the nominative and the accusative

The lack of distinction between neuter nominative and neuter accusative is not just true of nouns in old IE languages. It's true of all grammatical categories in virtually all modern IE languages too (with some very obscure exceptions). Consider German articles der/den vs. das/das. Or English pronouns she/her vs. it/it.

More info: https://latin.stackexchange.com/questions/18/accusative-equa...

https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/9105/why-do-...

Apparently one of the obscure exceptions is the Russian word оно - but they are indeed quite rare.
Here’s how evolved John Deere has become. There’s a John Deere Labs office a block away from the LinkedIn office in downtown SF. It’s pretty big and would fit a medium sized company fairly well. Looks like they’re trying to cash in on SV talent for their products.

Err..

I don't think you've ever been out with sales execs from SV companies. "gallons of expensive liquors" sounds like an average Friday night.

> contraband Cuban cigars

Of course no one in SV these days does any contraband drugs./s

Android had plenty tools in the past to allow that. Xprivacy even used to allow you to select which Contacts you want to allow for which app. So you could use WhatsApp but only allow a handful of contacts to be read.

One of the frustrations people have with Google is that they're making it increasingly closed and problematic to make modifications. Given that nowadays some banks for example are mobile only and everyone is waiting for Google to completely shut down modified boot systems(probably in response to Qualcomm TrustZone being untrustworthy), people are re evaluating whether it makes sense to invest in the Android ecosystem.

EDIT: google could have capitalized on this and made it a part of their offering.
Slurpee please :)
Of course they don't discourage it. It keeps their hold on the Android ecosystem.

I'm sure they're not worried about lineageos and other aosp niche roms but they will be about Huawei and Amazon and their forks without play services.

The etymology you linked actually says something different:

> From a Vulgar Latin *lo, *illu. Masculine pronoun from Latin illum, singular masculine accusative of ille. Neuter article and pronoun form from Latin illud, neuter of ille.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lo#Spanish

That means some uses of "lo" are derived from masculine ille while others are indeed from neuter illud. To answer your phonological uncertainty, the entry shows derivation from illud > *illu > lo.

Most news from whatever source seems to be more about pandering to the partisan loyalties of the majority of their readers to make them feel warm and fuzzy. Honest evaluation tends to be used as ammunition by the "side" not being evaluated. "They hate us but even they say their guys were terrible here!"

The NYT has gone down this path far further than I would have thought possible. The WSJ is now owned by Murdoch so its less surprising that their news reporting has also slipped. Those are the two best. By a margin.

There's a massive problem that isn't being talked about because "Them! They're evil! Just look at what they say about..."

edit: I did something similar stocking up based on the Guardian (yeah, not an ideal source) reporting that a woman from Wuhan crossed the country with no symptoms for Chinese New Year and gave the virus to her whole family. She never had symptoms. I thought at that point, this is on, there's a non-negligible chance this will not be contained, so get prepared.
>risk production is end of this year

Risk production is when you start testing wafers and design for performance, yield, other tuning and bugs. Those are rarely if ever sold on the market ( Unless they are called CannonLake ). So realistically it is still 2H22 for 3nm.

And generally speaking leading edge node rarely if ever go to large die size SKUs first ( That is MBP and iMac ) simply due to yield and cost. ( Unless your customer is US DOE buying chips for their SuperComputer called Aurora. )
Rocket lake is 14nm
> In 1967 under the British, dozens of Chinese protesting against British rule and for representation were killed in Hong Kong.

This comment is context free: missing critical historical contexts (if not outright misleading).

1967 was at the height of the Cultural Revolution in China, when it was spreading to Hong Kong [1], Macau [2], and elsewhere.

Notably, the local communists (CCP supporters) planted roadside bombs during the 1967 Riots [1], causing 15 deaths and 800+ injuries in Hong Kong.

The Wikipedia articles [1][2] have more details.

What is the point of "spend spend spend" without a strategy and top-down direction to it?

All we seem to care about in the US is "jobs". Generic jobs. Working class low wage jobs. Whatever jobs gets the public off a politician's back.

Not a lot of focus on whether those are useful jobs in long run, or strategically important jobs. Or we seem to end up after "spend spend spend" with some new financial derivative products, people employed to buy/sell them to each other (paid handsomely), and people who are left on the sidelines who didn't get to participate mostly.

At least other countries (I'm looking at Asia), less free and dictatorial they may be, decide what industries to make a strategic national priority and go after it.
One issue is indeed when people are trying to project the whole "I'm realy into this whole software development thing!" vibe. Genuine excitement about something can almost always be differentiated from this, in my experience.

But the issue I'm more concerned about is this idea that you have to live, breathe, drink, eat, sleep software development 24 hours a day, or you are a lesser developer than someone else who does. There are obviously different levels of investment people are willing and/or capable to commit to a job in this field, and yes some people are better at it than others. However, I think many in our profession are being pushed to invest too much of their lives into career-centric tasks, and as a result will end up being less effective as developers than they could be. I think this is perhaps even more dangerous than being lazy, and not keeping your skills relatively current.

Having a good balance in life is the way to avoid burnout. It is way too easy to leave your family and/or friends in the wake. There are infinitely more things to learn, and you can't do it all. These are choices I personally struggle with, as I'm sure many others here do.

It doesn't help that almost all of the job listings are asking for people "passionate about X" (where X can be almost anything related to development), or looking for "a Rockstar Y developer", or some other such buzzword-laden description. It seems to me, that there is a way to describe people who want to do high quality work, who care about their results, but at the same time have a life outside of work. However, although I see some job listings where the writers appear to be trying, a lot of them leave me thinking "no need to apply there, I just want a job doing a lot of things that I am good at and enjoy most of the time. I don't want to join a cult."

What are the tweets which her boyfriend posted? If it's just about his fantasies, I'm not really concerned about that, so long as he isn't committing crimes himself, or encouraging others to do so. It can be an outlet for such predilections. Shaming someone for them doesn't make them magically go away. And I can imagine him being the only one willing to marry her with her association with her father.

Do you mean literal torture? Ouch, sadistic ones are scary.

I'm not surprised she hired her own father. People will do a lot of things, when their own family is involved. This isn't to defend the decision, but it isn't inherently irrational.

Is there anywhere where it would be appropriate for her father to work? A lack of stable employment could contribute towards him committing further crimes. Preferably, somewhere away from children?
The latin neuter still lives in a few common words in romance languages. For example, in Portuguese the words for "this" can be este, esta, isto. The first two are masculine and feminine. The third one is neuter, and doesn't go with masculine or feminine words. For example, you can say "este homem" (this man), but "isto" (this) remains alone.

I have one. I look forward to the day when it matches the specs of a flagship eg. 12-16GB of RAM without the $2K price tag. I want to be able to do VMs inside it and other things... I have a Pinephone now, I think it would be possible to run QEMU in it to do a VM but the current hardware specs are not great for this... like ARM VS Code had 3-5 second lag per click.

Also as a side note, I bought an LG Stylo 6 from Boost and I wanted to smash the phone out of the box due to the bloatware. I know "install ADB bro, uninstall the bloat" but like the voice mail message literally forces you to choose an ad to use it like wtf is that.
Current googler here - only for a few years, so I don't have years of comparison. My perception in general is that, as someone else has mentioned, the openness has been dialed back a lot. It used to be standard that basically anyone could read or look at almost anything aside from obviously sensitive information like revenue and earnings. Today, it can be annoying - things are default blocked off to particular product areas, which makes it harder when you work across those areas (e.g. I work on Workspace, which works a lot with Android, and I have to go ask to have documents opened up to me all the time because they're locked down to just Android - and the same thing happens the other direction).

I've also heard that in the past things were a lot more bottom up - teams advocating what they thought they should build up to leadership and getting approval, and while that still happens, there's more top-down than before.

I have very little experience with large companies, so I can't compare Google to FB or Microsoft or any of the other big tech companies. But I will say that what's cool about Google is (depending on your team) you can work on highly impactful and highly visible products, you see a lot of interesting technology, the people are generally extremely smart and capable, and the benefits and quality of life are great. Because it's a big company, things are very slow - planning cycles are long. Stuff that was a six week cycle at a startup are a six month cycle at Google, but I will say that when I was at a startup, I'd often get pulled into a meeting where someone says, "Oh, hey, for X we were building, we realized that it won't work for Y reason, so we have to either push out our timeline for a lot of time, or cut Z critical feature out of the launch". At Google, that's a lot rarer, because the planning up front tends to be comprehensive and carefully designed (it is not unheard of, but it is a lot less likely).

I'm not sure that it's an ideal place for junior folks to learn how to build software, just because Google is so unique and specific in how they do things - I suspect that a lot of people who start their careers at Google and then shift to your typical smaller software company get whiplash (I have no data to back this up, it's just a gut feeling). But for people who already have a grounding in other companies or are further along in their career, I think it's a really interesting place to work at a different scope than is typically available at a smaller company.
