Dramatic much?

They changed the style of the tabs. That's it. People really can act like spoiled children sometimes, it's ridiculous.

It's not a disaster, lots of less vocal people love how it looks now. I love it.
That's the thing MSFT is trying to solve for with things like Power Automate and Apps.

Sure, getting an API schema and then writing a GET request in C#, Node, etc to get invoice data out of your financials system is out of band for a business user, selecting the action "Get invoice by number" from the "IBM Cloud Financials" connector in Power Automate is well within band.
"If there is not sufficient margin between the business value and the cost to provide, then maybe the sale shouldn't happen."

I had the impression, when people talk about value based pricing, they assume that the value is higher than the cost.

The idea being, the customer pays more without you ending up with higher costs.
For sure I was overly hyperbolic there.

There are certainly some good journalists out there, but any big media institutions are way too far gone.
Cryptocurrency, being a currency has its value tied to its utility (e.g. the usual talk about decentralized, private, and resiliency against inflation which have been beaten to death).

This is clearly an existing use for normal people. Whether it will gain wider adoption for everyday payment remains to be seen.

More importantly, it doesn't need the civilization to collapse. In fact if civilization were to collapse ain't nobody gonna validate your transaction!
Exponential growth isn't going to be sustainable forever. The economic models need to be updated to match reality, instead of the tail wagging the dog.
If the free speech is replaced by only corporate approved speech - I don’t think it will be a better place. I’ve heard that Facebook was banning/suspending people for discussions of the covid lab leak until last week. If the lack of speech gets people to leave Facebook altogether, it’s a positive for those people, but for the ones left in the echo chamber it’s definitely a negative.
Adding to this, institutions make the work between free individuals all but impossible.

If I just want someone to help me plumb a bathroom, they have to have license and insurance, they need to file to be a corporation themselves, they need to file a permit to start the work, they need to have a final inspection, and they have to pay taxes on what I pay them.

On top of this supplies are becoming ever more expensive unless you're a big enough buyer, so the little company or one independent plumber can't even compete with larger companies on cost of materials and tools.

I basically do all my household remodeling myself as the cost is extremely prohibitive.
I've never understood this Amazon Sidewalk thing.

The vast majority of people already have internet at home and phone plans.

Also, what's in it for Amazon? How does it profit from something like this?
Damn, dude, that sure is a lot of your standard boilerplate “me toxic? no u” behavior. How far back in my comment history here did you go looking for stuff to try and piss me off with?
nah, it has results for "tank men", so absence of results altogether is definitely censorship
Inflation is not simply goods costing more, it is money being worth less. If there is a major supply chain disruption and thus a scarcity of some good like say lumber, the price increases because what lumber remains is legitimately more valuable. As soon as the supply chain returns to normal and there is an abundance of lumber, that lumber will lose its value and the price will fall back down again. Anyone continuing to sell overpriced lumber will be outcompeted.

The only thing that's weird is that everything has become more valuable because everything has become more scarce because every supply chain got hit at the same time. You don't have people avoiding high lumber prices by switching to steel because the steel prices have likewise increased. If you want to build a house right now, you're going to have to build it out of something rarer than you had to 2 years ago. Normally people would just not buy the house, and then construction companies would have to fire people and sell off assets, which would reduce their capacity to build homes even after lumber prices fell back down. But with the injection of cash the demand is maintained and the builders are able to weather the storm.

Now it's possible and indeed likely that the amount of cash injected is not exactly the right amount to maintain business as usual - there likely will be over production of certain high demand goods which will create a glut in the market after supply chains return to normal, and at the same time workers hired to do these superfluous tasks will be laid off when demand falls after the money printers stop. Cheap goods and higher unemployment mean lower pressure on increasing wages. Further, companies who invested too heavily will either be bought or sell off their assets for pennies on the dollar, leading to increased consolidation. To finance this expansion, odds are a lot of financial assets purchased now will be offloaded. When the dust settles people may see a legitimate decrease in purchasing power, but this change is still far off in the future and will be much less acute than the current situation.
> I can't believe I missed that. Is it a somewhat recent feature?

Yes and no We did have this section, but only about half of the items in the left sidebar were initially included. This was an oversight from our teams, and we managed to get most of that fixed over the last 2 milestones (more refinements coming up as well, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to create an issue).

That's amazing to hear and proves our high focus on iterating fast and improving each time. Thanks so much for your feedback!
Give your employees laptops to work from home. Install monitoring software on the laptops, you could even spy on them with the webcam etc.

You don't need to pay for an office just because you want to power trip on spying on people. Over covid Microsoft have added a bunch of spyware into office365 for companies to spy on their employees.

That's because grabbing coffee from a cafe isn't an activity focused on actually socializing. Work forces you to do so because You can't seriously expect to get coffee, sit down and work on a laptop and expect to meet people. Socializing requires some amount of effort, and means going to a place or activity where you can actually meet someone.

* Volunteer as part of a local organization

* Find a meetup based on a personal interest (foreign language, programming, art, gaming)

* Join an athletic group (biking, running, hiking, martial arts)

* Go to an activity sponsored by your library (my library has everything from workshops on things like gardening and meditation, to a maker-space, to a Hamilton-sing along choir. Lots of libraries have activities like this).

* Find an open source project to contribute to

* Religious (or even slightly spiritual)? Find a local church you enjoy

You are definitely right about the cafe/bar/club being a terrible place for meeting people. But there's lots of places in most communities where you can still socialize that aren't work.

More generally, a skeuomorph is when a derivative uses design elements for decoration that were functionally necessary in the original. Paper grain in the background of a word processor is one example of a skeuomorph — but so are spokes on hubcaps, electric lights shaped like candles and the shutter sound your phone plays when it takes a picture.

Newly minted PM here - very valuable comment for me.

Every time they release changes to the UI, one of the most basic things I'm desperate to get back is tabs moved to the bottom, I.e. in order of the menu bar, address bar, quick links, then tabs.

As I frequently mouse between the browser content window and tabs it just seems to be more efficient IMHO.

Perhaps they've added back the option for tabs on the bottom, but it inexplicably vanished many versions ago.
> I think the UK and EU should be looking at creativity of accounting

I think the EU should look into the crazy high tax rates people and companies can experience in the EU and set a hard cap, because it is out of control.

For a start it'd be fair games if it was legally disallowed to tax individual at a higher tax rate than what EU servants are paying (somewhere between 5% to 12%, while for "plebs" not working in the EU it can quickly go above 50%. 50% + 19% social wellfare tax in my case).

I've personally had enough. I'm an expat now. I just created a company with another expat, living in another continent, and we picked a business-friendly place to incorporate.

The EU could have had my business had they been showing some willingness to be nice to business. But it only ever seems to go in the way of more taxes no matter which EU country you're in. Screw that: I'm out.

> ... except that another cohort of politicians get rich

That said I'm not sure politicians in the EU get very rich. It's not the US nor Russia where you get politicians billionaires (at least it's really not common). I don't think the president of France, for example, is paid more than an average SV wage (I think it's actually half that). The uncovered bribing cases in the EU have mostly been very petty: it's really sad for how cheap votes can be bought (say a dinner and a week-end paid in a nice hotel). We're talking about EU member of the European Parliament cheating on "presence tickets" (pretending they're there to vote when they're not) to collect about 300 EUR everytime they cheat (absenteism is so big that they had to incentive MEP to vote by introducing tickets were they'd get a little bonus everytime they vote). MEPs are cheating by signing in the friday mornings (votes are typically done on friday), so they get their 300 EUR bonus, but then they go home for the week-end. That's petty mindset, to make petty money, not rich.
This blog post is a response to another blog post which is a response to a question about how to implement integer-to-string length as quickly as possible in an optimising implementation of the Ruby programming language called TruffleRuby, if people here wanted a concrete example of how these kind of brain-teasers come up for real in industrial programming in an everyday job.
There are grass alternatives which don't require as much water or maintenance. Moss, thyme, mint, clover, mazus, sedum, wildflowers. Or a low-maintenance grass like fescue.

Pursuing this question is quite the rabbit hole, but doing research in mathematics makes me believe that math is a science: you have questions, you collect evidence by exploring examples (i.e., conducting experiments), and you formulate hypotheses as conjectures. If you're lucky, your conjectures are correct and you prove them! Proofs are even better than the accumulated evidence on which theories in other sciences depend, in that proven theorems are immune to falsifiability within the axiomatic system in use.
This is interesting. On the web results it shows up, but under images it doesn't show anything.
You don't. Your employer is paying for all the necessities because you can benefit from economies of scale (There are tons of empty spare bedrooms in the US but building extra housing is impossible in most places for example.)

That’s very odd. In DDG, searching for “tank man” with “Safe search: moderate” returns 4 pictures of men in or next to tanks. Setting “Safe search: off” returns 0 pictures, not even the 4 utterly safe images from the “moderate” search.
Unfortunately this is probably the case. I don't see any alternative to the US pursuing an actual antitrust case against Facebook. No other lawmaking body has the full power over Facebook that's needed to hold them accountable.
Your favourite question has some cultural gaps as in many countries in interview settings people downplay weaknesses and flaws. It’s why a lot of weakness questions are often ineffective. Unless you are acutely aware of when a person is doing this BECAUSE it’s an interview you’re going to get some answers that might lead you to reject good candidates.
In general a less specific query should return more results. It seems like Bing is explicitly blocking that search.
This still makes you put the execution as a macro argument, but the benefit comes from the fact that most of the time a loop can just go from 0 to a given number.

If just the for loop is in the macro you can put the braces in yourself.

If the braces are up to you, nested loops are cleaner.

Bing is usually allowed in China past the Great Firewall so it's not too surprising that it's censoring.

I think this is what people were afraid of happening with Googles project to reenter the Chinese search market if some of the censorship rules would leak back into the US by accident.
I can confirm that in Eastern Europe Bing and DDG image bring nothing on 'tank man'.

However 'tank man' brings the relevant wikipedia as the top result in regular search.

So Bing and by extension DDG must have forgotten to turn off their CCP flag globally. At least that's my somewhat charitable interpretation.
I am guessing DDG is piggy backing off Bing and therein lies the problem.
Formatting an entire book with LibreOffice, what's it like?
The Windows 10 laptop I brought home as the pandemic lockdown began is chock-full of Python scripts, many of them written last year. An old cheap netbook running I know not what--Windows 7?--is what I used to set up a small Django system my wife requested back in 2019.

}

#sidebar-box[sidebarcommand="treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp-sidebar-action"] #sidebar-header {

It's probably worth noting that I've also set "browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar" option to "false" in about:config.

Based on a recent thread on Logo, I went on a Logo book searching binge. I found this book series by Brian Harvey, and they indeed look interesting. Right now, I am awaiting delivery of Exploring Language with Logo, which I am really excited about. I admittedly don’t plan on using Logo but instead will use either F# or Racket to go through the book. It seems there were a lot of neat exploration books published with Logo. I wish this style of book was more en vogue today.

Hey Bing, where is this supposed to end?
Simple problem? Not sure what you mean. In my neighborhood, the chance of an Amazon package being stolen is very high. The post office is not involved in many of the deliveries.

Because of my house's location, I have not yet lost a package. But I'd like a camera to see if anyone is checking out my porch when there are no packages just to see if I should worry. Previously, the idea that the police could just grab my video made me personally concerned about privacy. Ring providing logs alleviates that concern for me.
Humans basically want to belong to a tribe, which is why there’s always a certain equilibrium with relatively few “famous” people on one side. If AI and the Internet made everyone exceptional, nobody would be exceptional, and we’d just find random idols to gather around anyway (sort of what we already do).

Sure, you could use AI to act, or you could follow your most basic gut instinct and slap a famous-for-being-famous person on it and call it a day. Because it’s going to work.
Unfortunately that won't bring Aaron back to life.

This is definitely clumsy. Compare with searching for "坦克人" which gives all sort of tanks just not the one you're looking for (Google shows the same image for both English and Chinese search term).

No, GPL FAQ specifically addresses internal distribution: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#InternalDistributi...

> Is making and using multiple copies within one organization or company “distribution”?

> No, in that case the organization is just making the copies for itself. As a consequence, a company or other organization can develop a modified version and install that version through its own facilities, without giving the staff permission to release that modified version to outsiders.

> However, when the organization transfers copies to other organizations or individuals, that is distribution. In particular, providing copies to contractors for use off-site is distribution.

In my (limited) experience, the majority of engineers in the valley end up working on MacBooks, so Unix would be the lowest common denominator.
As a developer from a Poland - yes, both on national and international level the salaries in IT will equalize. It's already happening and it's not a slow process. I'm on the growing side so far but it's a matter of time. Already my company outsources to Ukraine.

I expect trade unions and calls for mandatory certification in next decade.
From the video: the biggest advantage of using a 6 axis robotic arm is that the nozzle can be pointed in any orientation. This allows you to design and print along 3d curves which make stronger parts.

Traditional 3d printers stack 2d planes on top of each other, which make for strong layers but weak layer-to-layer connections. This is OK for some parts but not all. Another downside is things like holes - vertical holes can be pretty accurate and strong, but horizontal holes are not (since the curve is made by different layers).

I wonder if this could be simplified to have a traditional 3 axis gantry style 3d printer with a nozzle which could rotate on one or two axes? It wouldn't have the full range of motion that a robotic arm does, but it might be "good enough"? A Bowden drive could help reduce the mass of the extruder making it a little more feasible.
Some UK institutions (including some pretty respected ones) adopted the term "School of Informatics" and confer Informatics degrees instead of using the term Computer Science.

I suspect the university marketing teams will eventually change this to Computer Science much like "Natural Philosophy" evolved into "Physics" at many places though...

> but it doesn’t justify their UX decisions

It doesn't justify shitty UX decisions, no. But it does alleviate the pain you experience when companies (inevitably) do fuck up something you depend on.

If the same happened in Chrome or Safari you would have the same chance of adjusting the browser UI as you have adjusting the UX of your toaster (none [or with a lot of work]).

Instead, Firefox lets power users be power users, installing extensions that completely changes the UI or adding your own stylesheets for customizations like the ones mentioned in this submission.

So booo to the team doing the UX change, yay to Firefox for letting me fix their own mistakes without having to wait for it to be deployed.

> Most people already have an association with typical tab UIs. Why change this fundamental perception into something more generic and ambiguous?

This was probably said about tabs vs windows when tabs first appeared in browsers as well. Why introduce a different concept when you can already have many windows?! People seem to prefer tabs today, so sometimes going against the wind is a good thing. Problem is that you don't know what will be good until you throw that thing at people and they tell/show you their reaction.
