The move is pretty transparent to me, when CentOS was effectively "free RHEL" many people who didn't feel they needed support just ran CentOS in lieu of RHEL knowing that they'd get near-100% compatibility without paying a dime.

The fact that it's a rolling release is not really the problem per-se, it's more that you can no longer expect that CentOS n == RHEL n. It's not a drop-in replacement. You can't expect that something that works in RHEL will work in CentOS and vice-versa.

For people who ran CentOS because they liked it over the competition it may not be a deal breaker. For people like me who only used it because it was "free RHEL" the new rolling version is effectively useless. And I'm 100% certain that it's exactly what RedHat/IBM counted on: no more free candy, just buy a license.
bash supports the same, also named magic-space. For bash you can chuck something like "Space: magic-space" in your $INPUTRC, although you'd probably want a guard(see Readline Conditional Constructs in the manpage).

FWIW, zsh without oh-my-zsh can be configured to do too this with "bindkey ' ' magic-space".

Trump's brand was name licensing.

You won't license a brand that already scrunes >50% of potential customers in the US is and way more in the western world ( but the contacts seem to be solid, so it's very expensive)

Look at all the hotels trying to get off the Trump brand. And all the businesses that associated themselves with Trump during his presidency.
A large constraint on Spirit and Opportunity was keeping the panels clear, that's why they lasted so long.

From what I remember, during martian winter they had to take the grade and the prevailing wind direction into account to keep the dust and fines off.

> I've never had to maintain legacy code before

If you didn't mistype your comment, it's super funny.

So in a discussion about programming languages and software maintenance, you comment saying that you've never had to maintain legacy code? :-))
I don't see why it would be your fault. You or your lawyer can point to this very blog post to demonstrate that any interference with Cellebrite was not intentional on your part.
I agree that TypeScript has a more expressive type system (not an advantage depending on how you view things, however).

The big asterisk I am referring to is the fact that types are defined through a side channel rather than through the language itself. Your typing files may be different than someone elses. Everyone just so happens to use the same ones, so this problem doesn't come up too often in practice, but in applications where you need guaranteed static analysis, Typescript doesn't fit the bill.
They should make a law that if a deal is offered to one company, it should be offered to all. That keep the playing field fair and level.
I conducted interviews at Google for about 8 years. I would often run across a fresh-from-college candidate who fell flat on their face, and all I could think was, "You've somehow managed to waste 4 years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars doing whatever it was you were doing for all that time."

Some performed so poorly that I could only conclude that they cheated their way all the way through their program, because the discrepancy between their GPA and the fact that they can't even begin to explain memset (one of many trivial examples I ran across) was so stark. Well, all that cheating certainly caught up with them when they were face-to-face with me trying to get a job. It must of been stressful and humiliating for them as they sat there hemming and hawing while I asked them elementary question after question that they couldn't even begin to answer. Or maybe not, depending on whatever lack of pride and sense of self-worth led them to cheat like they did in the first place.

I'm sure many of them managed to get a job somewhere in industry, and whoever hired them got to deal with a hire who turned out to be an imposter.

Of course I recognize that some people may have been severely impacted by the technical interview process to the point that they were intellectually paralyzed. But at least some of them I'm sure just didn't learn anything.
Possibly. The spotlight is also now on Apple to explain if parts of iTunes is being used to incriminate persecuted groups (journalists, homosexuals, activists, etc) what are they going to do about it?
Good point. Would I notice? Yes, most likely. Would people who don't pay attention notice? No, probably not.

I was giving an example that Bitcoin and layer 2 solutions are related, similar to how dollars and credit cards are related. My point was if the layer 2 networks have value, it doesn't mean Bitcoin doesn't have any value.

Even in the cases you raise, dollars still probably will have some value. I don't see the dollar collapsing any time soon.

Is Bitcoin the best settlement layer? I'm not sure yet. IMO, Bitcoin / cryptocurrency in general does have some value since it is enabling new technologies, like layer 2 solutions, to be developed, when they otherwise would not have been. I think new technology is valuable.
This presents a strong case, IMO. And taking in account that studies have been made suggesting that language choice has little to no correlation with number of bugs[1], it would make sense that recency bias plays a part in, well, preference in technologies.

I'm interested in the outliers though: Both the ones among the loved brownfield languages, and the ones present in both loved and dreaded lists. I feel like programming language designers, people in charge of choosing the stack for new projects, and people considering renovating legacy codebases can learn a lot about what to do and what not to do from those.

[1]: Though that one ended up in a flame-war, like discussion on programming languages tend to do. Apparently not even academia is safe.
All of this could be avoided if you were part of a different network.
One where you can connect with several open source clients to the server, and choose a client that didn't behave like this.
One where you could save your history from the client, if you wished to do so.

You chose to get into a captive ecosystem; Signal's code-dump "look but don't touch" (well, clientside, serverside was closed source for a year). Signal's "our way or the highway".

So KDE will have same issues ? I am wondering if they can architect it somehow where you put minimal code in the compositor and move the window management, and the complex effects (like zoom and animation) into a different process.

If Linux would have decided to use Mir would have at least shared same "server" code and probably also get around this issues but is hard to promote quality when Gnome and RedHat has a different idea.
I am what people considered really good at math and I would have 50% chance of passing any combinatorics / algorithmics interviews at FAANGS even completely unprepared based on my friends who have done them and told me the exercices. How can I tell ? That was most of my education and still partly my personal obsession, and in a competitive setting in my country I was among the top 10 of my year nationwide on pure algorithmic problem solving.

I can ABSOLUTELY CONFIRM you this is completely "orthogonal" to being a good engineer / datascientist. There are good datascientist without this skill, and many people with this skill which are bad datascientist.

Like in most job, your sucess will mostly depends on other stuff like being rigorous, focused, hardworking, being a team worker and most importantly, LOVING WHAT YOU DO. Find your sweet spot wit hthe right combination, a mix of vague problem solving, project management, team spirit and you will be as much a good engineer than the next math wizard.

Does this require cable/hub support? I've currently got a hub which provides USB3 ports as well as HDMI, and as expected, only goes up to 4k@30Hz.

Would a simple software change & hardware support on the host side be enough, or does the hub still need to be upgraded?
No, don't.

The intent of the device is different and the primary method of input is different. Adding a touch control to a predominately pointer-based UI is an awful experience. Using the iPad as a Sidecar display is nice for when you need the pencil but using it as a touchscreen is pretty awful. It really shows that macOS shouldn't be accessed via that method.

Rather, Apple should take a big leap forward with iPadOS 15 and allow more powerful apps to run on it, such as Xcode et al. Sure, it opens up the ecosystem a little and lowers the walls of the garden, _for iPadOS_, but it keeps the same best-in-class experience as iOS while bringing the power of macOS "pro" apps.
> For example, Microsoft SQL, if you are on Linux, you have the full power of Postgres, Mariadb, ..., who in his right mind would willing-fully use Ms SQL on Linux?

It's not an operating system's job to tell people what to run on it, it's job is to provide a platform.

If you want to go around yelling at people for using MS SQL then that's your choice right? Don't expect others to do the same.
Is the data collected by MRO not useful for this as well? Sure, the resolution would be increased, so I guess that would have some benefits.

I tend to think of the rover and drone like one of those strategy games where you have to send out scouts to "discover" where to send the rest of the troops, and then plan out how many "moves" to do it in. But then I remember we have the MRO that has pretty much scouted the entire planet. It just takes us a lot of "moves" to get our troops there.
The digital signature is not needed to run the software.
I don't understand why people keep downvoting this sentiment. Cities have two options:

(1) Attract a business that wouldn't otherwise come, which when it exists will attract more people that pay state/local sales taxes and increase demand for property, which in turn increases property price, which increases property taxes.

(2) Don't attract the business. . . .. nothing comes after that.
Perhaps people get stressed in interviews?

For instance, I don't code in C that often, and if asked, I'm not sure I could remember off the top of my head if the function signature is `memset(dst, value, n)` or `memset(dst, n, value)`. My guess from intuition is the first, but I would be hemming and hawing a bit if asked in an interview something like that.

Also, many CS programs are easy enough that you'll never even encounter a memset.
If using signal opens you up to more trouble because it interferes with an authoritarian regimes power over you, then signal and what it does to a cellebrite device is hardly a primary concern.

If you live in a country with the rule of law, then just using an app doesn't make you guilty of anything. The fact the this security feature has been publicly declared puts the onus on cellebrite and the police using their devices, to ensure relevant patches are applied at their end to prevent these features from working. These devices are already bypassing android and iOS security features to do what they do, this is no different.

To me these files are essentially similar to a passcode on a device.
> I'm starting to think it would've made more sense to allow unicode to allow to embed small vector icons directly in the text format.

Unicode folks are also feeling this pain and there have been multiple attempts to decouple the emoji business from Unicode: the closest to what you've described is the Coded Hashes of Arbitrary Images [1]. (The proposed encoding is wasteful but of course would have been improved if it were accepted.) Considering that the Unicode consortium is a consortium of vendors, this emoji business is suboptimal even for vendors. But there seems no particularly good way to efficiently and securely implement such mechanisms.

No... if you read the article carefully, the outline goes something like this:

1. We found a cellebrite kit that "dropped out from the back of a van" (yeah right lol)

2. Cellebrite is a tool to extract data out of phones (general intro to what Cellebrite is)

3. Looks like Cellebrite is using a bunch of open source libraries and they also use Apple DLLs (???!!!)

4. Oops looks like they are using like YEARS old libraries and there are hundreds of KNOWN vulnerabilities on each of those libraries.

5. Oops looks like the vulnerabilities allow ACE. Here's a demo where we placed a carefully crafted file with the ACE payload on a phone where if you just click the scan button on Cellebrite's software, you can do ACE (this is the video in the middle of the article)

6. (by the way for cellebrite users) this calls into question all data extracted with Cellebrite since these exploits are trivially exploitable. There are so many exploits possible so you can use any of them to create ACE attacks.

7. For COMPLETELY TOTALLY UNRELATED AESTHETIC REASONS we are putting some files on the Signal app. You're welcome!

---

to spell it out: yes, they are putting ACE payloads on Signal to try to crash investigators/spies/whatever trying to use Cellebrite on phones with the Signal app.

I should also add that the requester ratings site, Turkopticon (https://turkopticon.ucsd.edu/), rated our jobs highly. I can't seem to find our reviews now (probably because we haven't run any jobs in awhile), but if someone can figure that out, you should see that workers were pretty happy with our system. I often got emails from workers asking for more work! Also, the throughput on a good job when using a properly designed system is insane. If I recall correctly, our case study on estimating calorie content from photos gathered thousands of labels in about 45 minutes.

- The deal negotiated by former governor Scott Walker was expected to cost taxpayers between $172k and $290k in government funding per job created. [0]

- $80 million for 1,454 employees, the provisions of the updated deal per TFA, is $55k each.

- The US average cost of similar programs is $24k. [0]

It's not obvious whether this is a good deal, but unlike the original it's not obviously a bad deal.

We should see some changes to iPad OS come WWDC on June 7th. Maybe nothing amazing, but here's hoping.

Honestly depends on the company -- I have no problem despite the fact that both of my degrees are in the arts, but I also work for a very international company (English is the language we work in, it has a lot of folks in it from nontraditional backgrounds).

If you apply to work for a more traditional or more "German" company, you may find that things like the subject your uni degree is in, or formal recommendations from previous employers (Zeugnisse) suddenly matter a lot more.

> for no understandable reason.

Americans classically derive much of their sense of value from:

1. Work

2. Race (for many white people, especially historically)

...and that's about it. Unlike other cultures our "rugged individualism" means that we don't tend to derive as much sense of worth from family, traditions, organizations we belong to, etc. This is especially true for men who are raised to believe that who they are is what they do.

The economic shift to a service- and knowledge-based economy with many manufacturing and ag jobs being automated or outsourced away has devastated 1. in many communities. The march towards better civil rights and equality is chipping away at 2.

This has left a huge number of Americans feeling that they are worth less than they used to be. People like that are ripe for being exploited. People will buy anything if you tell them you're selling dignity. Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan was really "Make You Feel Like You're Great Again".
No, this individual is stating that no matter what, people (including the disabled) have to go out in society to things like doctor’s appointments. Everyone has the right not to catch a potentially deadly disease.

“Freedom” does not extend to not wearing masks during a pandemic. Your freedom stops when you are a potential asymptomatic/symptomatic spreader of a potentially deadly disease to others.

Therefore, masks should be required for everyone.

Also, I am disabled and I agree with this poster’s comment. It was definitely not ableist at all. It was 100% in support of masks when out in public.
Yes.

This sucks especially for people living in the countryside.

But the fee isn't that much compared to what you have to pay in taxes.
I just want to say that I love your work! I have been following on Mastodon and watching the MNT Reform project with considerable interest, and the possibility of an E-Ink option really helps sweeten the pot. At this point I'm pretty certain I want my next new laptop to be a Reform.

Obviously I don't know what you are reading, but I've seen a lot of buzz about MAUI (including this article we are commenting on) since last BUILD when it was announced. Some of my "enterprise" dark matter feeds have been extremely excited at the idea that Xamarin.Forms is moving into System.* namespaces in .NET and what that means for certain types of very conservative enterprise adoption (it no longer looks like a 3rd party option with a weird brand; it's "real" .NET top to bottom).

The other part isn't getting as much buzz ("Xamarin is now just a 'compiler feature' of .NET 6+"), in part because it does seem somewhat "anti-news", it's not a new brand like MAUI or new buzzwords, it's just feature check boxes in a list. That said, you can tell it was a lot of hard work technically and I know a bunch of developers that are excited that there's just one unified tool stack now (you can use the CLI `dotnet` for everything that Xamarin used to do; Visual Studio has some updates to make everything feel even more seamless than it used to, including a lot more improvements to single project multi-targeting instead of needing to create a project per target OS/hardware). That buzz is out there on social media, at least, if it isn't making huge splashes in news sources.
