Perhaps, but then a better option would be to contribute back to the ecosystem by creating a nice DSL to compile back to zsh etc. completions and making a nice installer on top of that. I don't see how "autocomplete in your terminal" is really a company given that the people who would pay for tools like this will probably be power users, who would (I assume) prefer the built-in tools.
Yeah, it's a bit of tragedy.

Resistor style stripes on cables would be fun, a stripe for each feature such as bandwidth, power, etc; perhaps already suggested (and ignored). Though complement for ports would be trickier.

Embossing symbols in the style of thunderbolt might be the way to go, even if the standard is not fully adopted.
The government stands more to lose by a rate hike than any other individual entity. Ten year notes are traded in an open market, and sold at auction - Treasury can't just set a price and expect people to pay. If the prevailing ten year rate reverted back to the historical average of 4.9%, 30% of the Federal budget would have to be dedicated to just servicing the interest on the debt.

For Uncle Sam, low rates are about survival. We're in deep caca.
Applications don't have to implement this, the toolkit is supposed to handle it. It happens at the layer above Vulkan/DirectX, because those APIs are too low level and don't know anything window controls, text, etc. When applications disregard the platform's toolkit and use another toolkit that is not at feature parity with the one provided by the platform, they'll lose functionality. That's always been the case.

I'm only a 20 minute drive from my local office, so it wasn't a big deal for me either.

And my boss isn't even in the same country, so I didn't have that kind of boss that makes sure you're sat at your desk and questions every moment away - I could come and go as I pleased, and as long as I got my work done and didn't take the piss, nobody would have a problem with me arriving late, leaving early, taking a few hours off for appointments etc.

But when I started working almost full-time from home some years back (5-10, I forget exactly), it was a great move for me.

My biggest issue with working in the office was they way we were made to work in the office - everything open plan, everyone fully exposed to the noise and bussle of everyone else. And there's always that one guy (OK, usually at least 3) who talk REALLY loudly all.the.time. And there's always that one guy who spends his whole day taking calls on a bluetooth headset, wandering around the office all.day.long, constantly in and out of your peripheral vision, or standing right behind you while he continues talking.

So having a nice, quiet home office makes working so much better. Plus, I get to have breakfast with my family, and lunch with my wife/kid/kids depending on the day.

I have to add though, that I have a decent sized house, with a dedicated home office, with a big desk, 2 monitors etc - I realise that not everyone has the space for that. I also realise that the social aspect was/is a huge deal for some people.

I actually think the ultimate solution would be for companies to be fully remote, but with the option of working from co-working spaces whenever you want - I'm really curious to see if we have a co-working space boom coming up; they are non-existent around me.
In New Zealand in summer the burn time gets down to below 10 minutes. Light clothing isn’t enough to protect skin.

>At which point do we change assumptions about safety of USB cables though?

It's a good question. Generally speaking, DC is considered a shock hazard at or above 60V, but OSHA recognizes 50-60V as being potentially hazardous. It's certainly an arc hazard when disconnecting as the article notes. And 5A at just about any voltage will start a fire in case of a short circuit.

Inflation: Cost of Living as Epistemic Practice
The price for essentially just 120Mbps (sold as 200) down and 6 up is over 100 for internet + 15 for the box if you don't get your own. With TV and a few premium channels it would easily be $200. They are also have only one competitor of note in the downtown of a city of 50K people, a DSL provider offering a service slow enough that its not technically considered broadband anymore by present standards.
> I’m very happy to support both to be doing what I feel like the FDA with more funding should be doing themselves.

IMHO, I prefer an organization like Valisure over the FDA any day. Democratic governments must represent all of their constituents which means there will always be a path (pressure groups, fundraising, etc.) for corporate interests to get outcomes they want under the guise of lobbying their representatives.

When the organization doing the checking is actually independent and setup for the sole purpose of their mission I personally feel much more confident in the findings.
I see your point and it makes sense but it always depends on where you live.
As there's many threads relating to the controversy surrounding Freenode, I guess everything about it has been already said.

It's sad to see it crash and burn this way. I have fond memories of freenode, and especially the #django-dev channel. Before Discord or Slack existed, I remember as a relative newcomer to web development frameworks, it was an invaluable resource to me. This was a time when I think Django 0.96 was being prepared for release.

I always got some help for my newbie questions and especially the core contributors were both tremendously helpful and exceptionally polite and friendly towards me every single time.

I haven't used Django in years, not because the framework isn't good, but because my career just took a turn elsewhere. The fundamental attitude and professionalism of the Django community was rock solid and from what I hear nothing has changed.

Here's to memories of Freenode and for the bright future of Django and Libera!
Because the government does not want to upset the social ordering of people. So much of our lifestyle derives from the fact that those at the bottom have no choice but to work for those low wages and poor quality of life at work.

Giving them an option upends all the assumptions that go into loans, and therefore having to raise wages would cause defaults for businesses, and otherwise wreak havoc for those who currently benefit from owning those assets and debt.

A slow increase in quality of life for those at the bottom is okay, but a large increase so that they jump up a few rungs on the ladder would cause pain for those above.
> And many people know that specific colors are really just wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Colors that can be stimulated using a single wavelength are spectral colors, which are only a small subset of perceptible colors. In the CIE xy model, spectral colors are on the curved boundary, while the straight boundary is the line of purples - impossible colors.

Edit: And because CIE XYZ is used as a sort of universal connecting and definition space, all our color spaces are defined in terms of it. But this leads to a the-map-is-not-the-territory fallacy: CIE XYZ was based on just a handful of observations and generously extrapolating. CIE XYZ does not define the set of visible colors. It's a map of colors.

This post is about conversion from the video's color space to a rendering color space, and the problems with that. Another fun question is whether that rendering color space is actually the display device's color space, or nah. While browser do output color management (i.e. they use the color profile of the output device and convert all their output to the ad-hoc color space that represents), I don't think they do that for video actually. In fact, there are virtually no video players supporting color management on the output side of things.

Lifting my head from the CodeNet launch and joining the discussion here.
the 14M code samples, spread over dozens of languages, for over 4000 tasks that each solve a well specified problem in english. Each problem has certain constraints. Each task also is annotated with very unique metadata of a test set, which the solution must pass to be a successful solution. This meets the functional spec. Now, on to the constraints that follow.. After meeting the functional spec, the solution must meet a runtime constraint, and a memory constraint as well. All this metadata of what that solution achieved is carefully annotated for each of the 14M samples.

Now, what could this be used for:
1. Since there are functional and non-functional codes for each problem that is precisely defined, data could be used for AI model to learn how to debug and modify the code to make it "correct" - the test data will be critical here for model's learning to be reinforced and driven with.
2. Improve the performance of the code - similar to above, since we know for each solution what the performance was, for a given problem, learn the ways to improve performance.
3. similar to 2 above, improve memory
4. code similarity, since we can compare the underlying graph as well, which are in the metadata for many samples, and AST generators are provided too..
5. Code translation since solutions for the same problem are in polyglot of languages, code translation is another critical usecase.

Even if that is true, I am pretty sure it is specific to US only. I dont believe any other place in the world are paying that much for monthly TV content, where Free ( paid by Tax or not ) OTA TV are the norm, and paid are mostly for Live Sports Content.

In US it seems you need "Cable" for everything.
The FDA concentration limits are generally very conservative. Is there any evidence that concentrations this low (at most 6ppm) are actually harmful, given that this is through skin contact rather than inhalation?

> something other than increased consumer spending, like supply chain issues, is causing the inflation

My (naive) understanding is these are tightly linked. The process is something like:

=> Consumers have more cash to spend on goods.
=> Consumers buy more goods
=> More demand is created for commodities to build those goods
=> Demand for commodities exceeds demand
=> Commodity prices inflate
=> Manufactured good prices inflate
That game is a hidden gem. I e-mailed Software Dynamics about 15 years ago asking them to release it for free so it wouldn't be forgotten (I had already bought a license), but they replied saying they had stopped game development. Oh well.
I'd been wondering how good pgksrc is on macOS for a little while, previously having used Homebrew wherever Nixpkgs was inconvenient or incomplete. Could pkgsrc could be a better choice?

pkgsrc is relatively nice for a cross-platform, source-based package manager in the old style, in that it provides convenient binary caches for most use cases.

I wonder: Has the writer of the post in the OP tried any next-gen source-based package managers, where the kind of isolation he describes as desirable between system and user packages is guaranteed between all packages altogether?

> “It is most likely that this is a virus that arose naturally. But we cannot exclude the possibility of some kind of a lab accident. That’s why we’ve advocated very strongly that W.H.O. needs to go back and try again after the first phase of their investigation really satisfied nobody,” Dr. Collins said.

Couple comments on this. First, it's a common misconception that a virus can't be both naturally-occuring and have escaped from a lab. This is clearly false, as the original SARS is believed to be naturally-occuring, and there were also four lab accidents in three different countries (Singapore, Taiwan, and China). Lab escapes are surprisingly common.

Second, regarding an investigation into the origin, WHO isn't equipped to do that since it requires cooperation from China. Finding the origin is probably the work of intelligence agencies.
There are simply situations where people are sick but still need to be out in the public. For example, if you are sick but your child still needs to be taken a school event or needs something from the store, you may still need to go out in public.

They don’t add anything to their products. Someone in China submits the lowest bid to make the thing, passing on sweatshop savings to J&J. So how then does the manufacturer make a profit? By skimping on the raw materials.

The root cause isn’t the supply chain or transparency or QA or whatever. It’s the attractiveness of too-good-to-be-true deals.

The US government collects data about production capabilities of pretty much every industry in America. Major companies do talk frequently with government officials about potential problems and roadblocks the business are facing, especially internationally.

In addition, they have an enormous spy apparatus operating in probably every country on earth. Military satellites can be used to gauge production around the world. They can monitor metal mines in Australia, track the shipments of ore to refineries, and have a good idea of where the finished products are going.

Clearly, all of this information is gathered and analyzed by different departments, but analysts within the White House can obtain an absurd amount of detailed information of almost any nature.

> WSL1 and 2 aren't super approachable even now

It takes very little effort to setup them up, you can install via Windows Store, and start the VMs like any Windows program. What's not approachable?

Windows Terminal is a big leap forward, but it still feels clunky compared to terminals in OSX/Gnome/KDE. It's little things, like copy/paste or even highlighting text - the lack of a right-click context menu is frustrating. But it's still a welcome effort, and native ssh support means I can rely on putty a little less.

I see the meaningful difference here being that there is no limitation to distribution across consumers.
With studio owned theaters, if there wasn’t a Paramount theater in your town, you’re outta luck.

Today, you can get Peacock and Paramount+ and Disney+, etc on virtually any device. Even Apple, who has been historically resistant to distribution on other devices has Apple+ on Roku and Amazon devices

Because antitrust favors impact on consumers, I doubt we’ll see any substantial legislation is this space.

Oh. Then I don't see how this can be reliably mitigated, other than patching LLVM to avoid writing the `msr s3_5_c15_c10_1` byte sequence in constant pools and then rejecting any binary that contains the byte sequence in an executable section. That seems difficult to get done before someone is able to submit a PoC malicious keyboard to the store, potentially turning this "joke" bug into a real problem. What am I missing?
ironically after combing through EWG to look at sunscreens, came to the conclusion that the absolute most conservative approach is to use mineral sunscreens with non-nano zinc or titanium particles. brands such as badger and raw elements are in that category, but they often leave an undesirable white cast. which leads one to tinted versions (that contain natural pigment to make the white cream instead skin tone color).

but guess what, after an exhaustive search over a couple years that led to Raw Elements daily moisturizer with SPF 30, it turns out Raw Elements is in this list of affected products! guess you just can't win!
It's not though. If you have a system with no piracy, it's an indication that the industry could be more greedy. This is what we saw with Netflix's disruption and the drop of piracy, followed by all the other streaming services and the return of piracy. So there's an acceptable amount of piracy that they're shooting for, and that amount is the line where it's cheapest to lobby the govt to prosecute pirates than it is to give customers a better experience. That's not consumer friendly IMO.

I think you miss the forest for the trees in my comment, which is attacking the semantics of "ownership" of a digital asset, which in blockchains corresponds to "the ability to give ownership to someone else" - or the only kind of ownership that a blockchain provides is the ability for one person to transfer the ownership.

For some assets like currency this is sufficient - currency is only valuable by virtue of the fact it can be transferred.

For art it is not sufficient, since ownership must also cover the ability to be transferred and the ability to view the artwork.

While all of it is a social construct, the semantics of those constructs are very different. My argument here is that blockchains and smart contracts are not sufficient to represent ownership beyond its transfer, which makes it useless as a mechanism to define ownership for assets that need to be more than transferred.
