I have to admit this is the first time ever I’ve heard about Windows 10X.

Reading about it, it seems ambitious but also kinda risky or unrealistic to pull of, much in the same way Windows 8 with the “modern” apps failed to garner developers and reboot the Windows developer-platform and ecosystem.

Maybe Microsoft concluded the same and decided to can it before investing too much in it?
Because errors dude to missing semicolon will happen so rarely, people skip them for various reasons, but the fix for these errors are to use semicolon, or a tool that will tell you where a semicolon would change the "abstract syntax tree" (AST). Because the JS ecosystem is so diverse, there are many "best practices". And the languages itself has many, many ways to do the same thing, espcially with ES6/2015 onward you have many more options, which are mostly picked by personal preferences and synthetic reasons.
How hard would it be to rename everything and get a different domain? I assume it is pretty hard to do that?

Maybe Freenode could become Freednode. Or Freenet. Or Fossville. FreeOfLeeNet
Also don't forget crypto which is still growing and demands custom hardware.

And the continued move within the enterprise towards using cloud computing and SaaS products.

No matter which way you look there is an increasing demand for silicon.

> Rowling was on welfare.

As a middle aged single mother. She wasn't born that way. She still had her elite education and family connections as advantages. And she's not even American (this thread is about American billionaires).

> And Shultz was still in a government housing project.

Described by the residents as "middle class government housing".

The point is that Oprah is the only one who was born in the lowest quintile, the only who who didn't grow up with any advantages that helped her become a billionaire.

So now I am expecting a major GitHub Actions incident (worst case, the whole of GitHub) to go down every single month at least once. Last time this went down was last month. [0]

I now doubt if they can consistently manage more than a month without a major incident like this one.

> The reality is that young women are more attractive to men, with youthful looks, an innocence and potentially more submissive.

That's a really weird way to look at things. Especially the last claim. You're disregarding the whole biological angle.

Male partners (whether consciously or instinctively) look for a healthy female to produce "the best" offspring possible.

Males are biologically able to produce a healthy offspring for much longer than females. And considering menopause, there's an absolute deadline for producing any offspring.
I like how the CD-R longevity estimate is 20-100+ years, depending on type, which agrees with anectodal evidence.

OTOH, they list only 5-10 and 10-20 years for BD-R, while at the same time BR-RE gets 20-50 years, which seems quite questionable. BR-R and BR-RE has been available for years, yet the estimate seems to be based on an "accelerated" study done in 85 days with several cycles of 80°C 85% RH.

High humidity high temperature soaks up polycarbonate and could explain the mechanical failures, especially if some layers are not moisture conducting, producing sharp gradients, especially in cracks and imperfections, while not being representative in any way of longevity in more reasonable conditions.

To some extend I don't disagree. In general I feel like response time is better on Linux, but I don't have any numbers.

Mostly I've given up on the desktop environments on Linux, not due to response times, but because I don't want to tinker with it, I just want to use the computer. My current home setup is just an OpenBSD machine with CWM, it manages windows and launches programs and that's all it needs to do.
I'm still plumping for Kotlin Multiplatform as the highest-quality, best value approach.
> Signal itself has no knowledge of which files constitute evidence (it applies this completely indiscriminately), so I don't think you could argue that it is knowingly spoiling evidence.

The article, written by a legal scholar with a specialty in precisely these issues, directly contradicts this.

Signal coyly threatened to make their app hack Cellebrite machines with the intent of spoiling evidence. It doesn't matter that they aren't targeting specific evidence. Blanket spoiling all Cellebrite evidence would apparently be enough to get them in legal trouble.
Why do we need to cool our brains when we are tired and not for example when we are exercising or thinking hard or in a hot environment?
It’s not entirely clear what that means.

There is a measurable size difference in that statistically male humans have slightly larger brains than female humans but there is not a measurable distinction of mass thereby indicating female brains comprise higher density brain tissue. To my knowledge there isn’t a correlation in that sex density difference to observed performance measures.
You're very welcome! :)
1. We do this because jobs are looking for smart well educated people. I.e. B

2. The school's credential is valuable because it's a proxy for smart, well educated people. If Harvard stopped looking at grades and sat scores and instead just picked 400 people at random the degree would be worthless.
Ah, the SIP requirement for yabai isn’t that important IMO. They detail it in their wiki [1]. Incidentally, I tried it out since making the comment, and even without SIP disabled I’ve got it close to where I want it to be. It’s still not as great as my custom i3 setup was, but a few more weekends might get it to a much more comfortable place.

I think that's roaming. Mesh wifi should IMHO be routing the traffic through the nodes (with possible backhaul).
They're also missing the Alishan Forest Railway.

> The greatest obstacles to constructing high speed rails in Europe or the US is expropriating land, environment feasibility studies, somewhat convincing plans for sustainable financing through user payments or otherwise, and the fact that rails traverse several political units (whether borders between countries, states, regions or municipalities) that all have to cooperate.

You cannot really put Europe and the US in the same bucket when it comes to HSR. France, Spain, Italy, Germany all have extensive HSR that connects major cities. We also have several projects to connect HSR across countries (other than Eurostar).

Cost per km in Germany and Spain was also lower than in China (mostly because in China they decided to use viaducts so that they had to buy less land, which goes against your claim they could just seize land).
Male/Female gaze/attention experiments in infants has been reproduced many times. Some scientists say the differences aren't big enough to make a difference (lets say, in behaviour), but I'd argue we have no idea what a large enough difference would be if we saw it - all we know is the difference exists.
I am inclined to believe they have a lot more near to Indian boarder, just don't want them to be widely publicized.
There are 7 others on the list.

Though I'm curious how you believe government housing is some sort of elite advantage. Or what "family connections" you believe took Rowling right to billionaire status. I read about her education. Looked rather ordinary to me.
The Array Cast
Correct, enterprise wifi is usually just APs with a common SSID and security configuration and some tuning to try to force clients to roam sensibly. There’s no AP to AP comms, it all goes back to the switchport
This is where Kotlin Multiplatform works well - you only need Android/Kotlin, and iOS/Swift skills. You save money where you can (e.g. shared code to do API calls / auth / calculations / etc etc) and still get the best-quality apps from the native code you're still writing.
I think the political narrative of the dissolution of the Soviet Union was a bit more complex than that. The root cause was a political dissatisfaction in the "member" states and as Kremlin under Gorbachev tried to create a more financially dynamic political system, they accidentally also gave enough leash to the vassal states to create an unstoppable tidal wave of reforms. They could have rolled the tanks in as during earlier decades (e.g invasion of Checkoslovakia during the Prague spring incident -68) but didn't - for which I think the world is ever grateful for Mr. Gorbachev.

So it was not only about money. Although the financial problems were certainly one of the biggest root causes.

Then soviet system had faced several humiliating defeats a few years earlier, robbing it's system of it's facade of invincibility - the invasion of Afganistan and Chernobyl disaster among them.
I think this is a great idea.

> The West purposefully made a trade off to have a better environmental and social outcomes and worse economy.

How is people flying and driving better than using electric trains? Also in this case there is no "west", the US decided to keep people on the road an in the air, but in western europe we built extensive HSR networks exactly to reduce pollution (and create competition to short-distance airlines, but that's another story).
To be fair, toilet paper shortages in planned economies were definitely a thing. My grandmother stockpiled toilet paper way after the fall of communism, I never understood why as a kid. (Her habit would have come handy at the start of the pandemic though...)

Best:

* Be supportive and non-judgemental, not dismissive.

* Really listen, hear the other person out and validate them, even if their concept or idea sounds dumb. Personal goodwill combined with strengths in the domain go a very long way.

* Be willing to share, explain and help others understand things that are new without treating someone like a dummy.

* Be thorough, systematic and organized, and keep working to improve ourselves, our systems, and our efficiency.

* Take the effort to make personal connections, and more importantly, to nurture and grow them.

* The past is the past - though some bad stuff may have gone down, look to the future, to how we can build and grow.

* If things are not working out, make changes, get it working, and don't be afraid to cut my losses and change track.

* Take responsibility for growing myself, I am accountable for my career and well being, invest in myself for the medium-term and for the long-term, keep learning and make sure it's something strategic. Time is always limited and there are a million things where I can waste time. Figure out what gives me the best ROI and invest there. These are the sort of time and energy investments that take time to bear fruit, and when planned and executed strategically they are well worth the effort.

Worst:

* There's a huge laundry list here, and I'd rather not go into the details. Others have covered this.
> I don’t know why more websites don’t do this.

Simply because it's not very performant. base64 will make the file about 30% larger, and web fonts are already too big. It'll also block the rest of the CSS file which can delay layout calculations, and the font-display property won't work either.
The removed packages would now have to be built from source. They are fully open source projects developed independently of macFUSE. As such, these projects now have no place in Homebrew because they're not eligible for Casks either.

So installing them would mean no support from Homebrew. No binary builds, no automatic updates, none of the fixes that package managers often apply to make software install cleanly.

The removed packages were quite popular too according to Homebrew's opt-out analytics[1] and included things like ntfs-3g, sshfs, ext4fuse, and encfs.

I've had the idea of making a fully localizable programming language for quite a while too, but like you, I've never actually done it due to the amount of maintenance a project like that would require.

My idea was to make it possible to transpile between all the language variants and allow machine translation of variable names and comments. That way, after a new language variant were implemented, users (primarily teachers) could take any compatible code in any language they even remotely understood and translate it, then do just a bit of cleanup and be able to contribute it back and use it when teaching.

Then I'd build a repository of these small programs, each with a set teaching goal in mind, translated into as many language variants as possible.

But now this is starting to sound like months and months of work, and since I can't focus on a single side-project for even a few weeks, is unfortunately never getting done...
There are frameworks like blitz.js(https://blitzjs.com/) coming up which build on top of next.js and provide you a full-stack development environment with react in the frontend. Far superior than what django/rails/laravel can offer.

> This omits the rather obvious problem that men are much more likely to date younger women. So the dating pool might be largest for men around 50 because of all the single women over 50 - but most of those men won't consider them.

There's some truth to this but the difference between 48 and 52 isn't very important if you're 50. Men don't draw a sharp distinction at that age where they refuse someone two years older but are happy with someone two years younger. Beyond that, you really aren't going to find many attractive 30 year old women interested in you if you're a typical 50 year old man. (No offense intended to anyone, but balding, somewhat overweight 50 year old men with bland personalities just aren't in high demand with women that age.)
I am extremely dubious about most supposed differences between the brains of men and women — given how much my own psyche can be changed by the hormonal boost from exercise, or all the research showing that things as simple as “being taller”[0] or “handling money”[1] can influence us, there’s a lot of noise compared to signal.

However, if there were no differences at all, everyone would be equally attracted to men as to women, and nobody would be trans.

That’s pretty much the limit of what I can argue, given I’m software developer not a biology PhD.

Acknowledging differences is not the same as "the “female” brain is hardwired for empathy," is it?
I think the crucial point glossed over in the analysis of the blog post is "knowingly causes the transmission". The user of Cellebrite causes the transmission. I would really like to see a proper legal analysis of the situation, and this doesn't seem to be it.

The author also misses the point of the "show me yours I'll show you mine". Cellebrite is, from what I understand, knowingly leaving everyone's machine vulnerable in order to conduct their business.'

This is something that _should_ be illegal. Not disclosing (and actively benefiting from) vulnerabilities in other peoples products is what we should have laws against.

Depends on the game. Some games with DRM wants (requires) to call back home after a while.
I agree that one CSS file is often faster, but the thing you say about waterfall isn't true if you are using HTTP/2. You are better of serving multiple files for the fonts.
Good point but you should probably use the prob that it's 75% or higher.

This is not just some pork-barrel politics of bribing a company to stay in a given country. S Korea will view this similarly to Taiwan - their chip fabs are existential to their country and state.

The USA is becoming more isolationist - it is nearly oil-independent, so it's signalling pulling out of the middle east (deals with Iran etc).

But it is not silicon-independent.

So S Korea and Taiwan are totally dependent on massive US troop deployments (25,000 !! US troops by the DMZ, a whole fleet patrolling the straits by Taiwan).

Ensuring chips flow in their country is a matter of national security - so the price is probably low.
I'm doing same right now. My cheap soc has no gps module, which would need too much power also, but I can trivially get the tac+cellid from the AT+CEREG command, which have to do anyway to check network connection (I have no roaming with NB-IoT). And from this you can externally get the lat/long gps values via the OpenCellID database. They protected queries, but you can get the source also as csv. Didn't know about the Google API, but it's trivial to build something like this by yourself.

In my case I don't even need the gps coords, the cellid is enough, as my devices travel on fixed lines through various countries. For cars or buses you would need it though.
I remember this - it was a big deal, similar to the GPU shortages.

I won a PC RAM expansion card at a VAR event, and it took months for them to scrape up enough memory to populate it.

Elves can get reincarnated from the Halls of Mandos and it is not entirely clear how often that happened, but it definitely did happen. Glorfindel of LOTR was a reincarnation of a First Age Noldo.

To cite Tolkien: Elves were destined to be 'immortal', that is not to die within the unknown limits decreed by the One, which at the most could be until the end of the life of the Earth as a habitable realm. Their death - by any injury to their bodies so severe that it could not be healed - and the disembodiment of their spirits was an 'unnatural' and grievous matter. It was therefore the duty of the Valar, by command of the One, to restore them to incarnate life, if they desired it. But this 'restoration' could be delayed by Manwe, if the fea while alive had done evil deeds and refused to repent of them, or still harboured any malice against any other person among the living. [0]

Of course, most of the reincarnated Elves probably stayed in Aman, so they had little influence on the development of Middle-earth. But that is not a bad consequence of getting killed in a war.

I see, that would be problematic indeed. I strongly believe in Bounded Contexts, a concept from Domain Driven Design. As for the Ubiquitous Language (ie: product & engineers naming things the same way, code included), parsing logic should also be segregated and specific to your domain. I would argue that you should have different parsers for different purposes even inside the same system, for example one could be applied to inputs coming from an User, while another could be applied to an API and one more when coming from a DB.

I think I would stress this point more in the README, thanks for sharing :thumbsup:
I agree with you. He even mentions no direct access to file system. IMO direct access to file system is one of the main things differentiating operating systems from content consumption devices such as mobile OSs.
What is a better fit for web applications?
I see, thanks for sharing. I will improve the README by adding a clear definition for parsing, validation and deserialization, so that we can all be on the same page ;)

Scarcity breeds ingenuity. Opulence breeds complacency.
That website is not the greatest for finding out about the state of the projects, as in, is anyone using this? Are there any notable deployments?

Can someone shed some light on this?
