The question is does the person performing the job him/herself finds it usefull what he/she does. Is doesn't matter if it is useful in your eyes. Because it has to do with appreciation, selfconfidence identification, finding satisfaction. If your are just being giving the feeling to be stupid useless replacable person by letting you jump trough useless hoops to please undefinable goals for more powerfull and this happens in a statistical signifant amount
then it tells something about current state of society and gives you some questions: why ist that ? , how do we handle the other humans around us?, what is causing that mindset and in what future, how would you/we like to live together?

Interesting. On the one hand the bikes and miscellaneous scrap people leave on the sides in the UK is an eyesore, but on the other hand it was already there, it was just hidden. Is scrap metal harmless at the bottom of a canal or river? Are they not doing a public service by exposing it and allowing more easy disposal by local authorities?

> Any implications for end-users

For end users competing against them yes, they and the other "We run the internet's biggest sites and are also a cloud provider" providers are leveraging dominance in one area to fund and build technology that you simply can't compete with.

From their point of view an entirely rational thing to do (and hardly new) but it does create an un-level playing field when you use money from one area to enter and dominate a market in another.

For anyone familiar this has all the hallmarks of the standard oil days when an oil company took over large swathes of the transport industry and charged differential rates based on local competition, selling at a loss where their was competition.

From context, I'm guessing they wanted to keep the Khmer Rouge out of Thailand for the same reasons that led the French to mine Algeria's borders with Maroc and Tunisia.

Vietnam was invading Cambodia, and trying to weed out the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge did what an inferior force does in this situation, and fought a guerilla war.

Most consumers don't have access to wholesale, fluctuating rates, so we're not sure how to effectively reach them with something beneficial. If home responsive demand such as car charging or smart appliances become much more widespread, we'd definitely want to find a way to manage those as well; I guess we'd have to go through their utilities but unsure.

The great thing about XR is that ordinary JPEG images can be compressed with XR and receive a reduction in size without any reduction in visual quality. Once all your tools receive support for XR, you can convert your entire image library in one fell swoop with no fear.

To be clear, I'm not saying that every single financial/insurance product is bullshit. However, those that are not bullshit are relatively straightforward, they don't need an army of salespeople. They wouldn't support an industry of the size that it is now.

I have tried, not much change - they don't add a separator between the tabs. What I noticed now, I thinka major problem for me is that the tab title fades away to the right, that causes me constantly to try to focus on it. The "button" style for the active tab is ok, but the display of the other tabs is really irritating.

On a different note, is there a way to have "send tab to another device" as a dedicated button again? They moved it as a sub-item unter the "firefox account" button, this is much less conventient as it was. The send tab feature is one of my most used features.

They are smaller in scope but they are also way more involved with keeping people in touch with what is happening - it's good because she can see where the money is been used pretty clearly.

30 minutes is already reasonably fine-grained- enough time for a gas turbine to spin up. Shorter-scale fluctuations are usually handled by reserves and even just the momentum of spinning generators. Its certainly possible that going shorter could help, but I haven't seen enough variation on 5 or 15 minute timescales, except when a power plant goes offline unexpectedly, to see a huge benefit.

Now, one could try to replace the existing reserve mechanisms with the shorter-scale market you describe, but given the resistance to change in the grid operators, I think this is a difficult fight.
If you strafe, you move perpendicular to view direction. If you combine strafe and jumps (the idea is this: jump, change view direction to perpendicular to jump direction and then strafe => jump+strafe => you'd move faster in the original direction).

I use networkmanager on my laptop. 99%+ of my linux machines are not laptops so I don't need network manager on them.

I use dnsmasq on two servers, which has a few local dns entries in its host (either to block lookups for some sites like dailymail.co.uk, or to have an entry for "nas" pointing to 192.168.0.51) and upstreams the rest of the queries. I don't need a forwarder on the other machines on the network, they are told by dhcp to use those two servers when they are on my network, when they're on another network dhcp tells them to use something else.

I run syslog on a few servers listening to an anycast device, and syslog fires text to the local machine and that anycast IP.

Had a problem last night with a systemd-resolvd server, I'd added an entry to DNS, and it wasn't working. Of course that's because the entry hadn't migrated from the main dns server to the backup one (the cronjob runs every 20 minutes as it has done for over a decade), and systemd decided to use the backup server (which is very rarely used). That costs me time.

If I want fancy DNS resolving paths, I can choose to install a fancy forwarder.

(For WFH I do have a router I can plug my laptop and other devices like a pi into and everything is forwarded through work, including routes to 0.0.0.0/0. No natting involved. When I bring my VPN up on the road, everything is routed via the VPN (other than the vpn end point obviously). I wouldn't bridge my network normally, why would I bridge it with a VPN?)
Conntrack is pretty clever in the way it classifies "connections", it has heuristics to determine what is a "related" connection (with many manually written rules for many protocols). For UDP it decides that if some packets go one way with UDP, then packets that arrive the exact opposite way not long after are the same connection.
I was careful with my words. "Completely useless" is not the same as "a net loss".

For most people JavaScript hate is a meme. They have either never built a bit project in it (or at least not since the language improved).

I might, but that's not at all how my networks work.

Indeed even the corporate business network (which I rarely ever touch) doesn't do that any more - some internal looking DNS resolve to public IPs, some external looking DNS resolve to rfc1918s, some are overwritten if you're on the network or not, and vpns are now based around zscaler which doesn't even allow access via IP address, not entirely sure how it works but DNS resolves everything to 100.64.x.x or similar (cg nat I believe) - not sure how it routes web traffic to the right server, but as I say I very rarely use it (I don't think I've used it since covid started)

If I were setting up a corporate laptop, I would likely set all dns, and possibly all traffic, routing via the vpn for security/compliance/monitoring purposes. What benefit does resolvd give me?
Calling 65 years old early retirement is insulting...
These ostensibly "neutral" people are in fact biased by their lifetime of experience and the way they skew in light of this confrontation is very revealing about exactly how. No one is introduced to the idea of, say, microaggressions, institutionalised racism/misogyny etc. as a neutral bystander. They have a stake in it whether they've acknowledged it already or not. No one is "pushed" away; they choose, informed by their experiences. And if someone is "pushed" towards maintaining a status quo that some of the most marginalised people in the world think is unfair, maybe they should think about why.

I'm extremely skeptical of the reasoning you lay out, and I'm extremely skeptical of the good faith of an association that brands itself like the FPC does (pictures of happy people holding assault rifles, "WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHTS") when debating a policy that results in any limitation whatsoever in access to firearms.

Saying "okay, but the definition of what is an 'assault rifle' is murky" isn't a good faith rebuttal, because the endgame of the people making that rebuttal isn't "therefore we should find a more clear-cut way to define what firearms are too dangerous for people to have access to and pass efficient legislation to limit that access", it's "therefore we should let people have whatever weapons they want".
I once complained on HN how appearances of literally in the new sense were driving me nuts. It was explained to me that it's nowadays used as an intensifier—and has been for nearly 100 years, and my impression the change was recent was probably just the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.

This is such bizarre reasoning it stunned me. The point of the book as to describe a trend of people feeling that their jobs were pointless, "Bullshit", so to speak. But going from there to assuming that the book asserts a universal criteria for what job is Bullshit, without even reading the book, is ???
You're voicing an opinion right now. Unfortunately there's a common misconception that everyone is entitled to voice their opinion without criticism. If you go around all day saying stuff that people think is hurtful or obnoxious, the freedom that allows you to do so is the same freedom those people have to tell you to get lost.

>Every light casts shadows and so does Bonzi, too. What
this gorilla is supposed to do is help you with all your

that the purple guy is rather an obstacle than any help.
Bonzi tends to swing himself always toward that corner of

concentrate on. Additionally, the buddy talks all the time.
If this would only concern jokes and other fun features, it
could be looked over (and adjusted, by the way). Instead,
Bonzi is permanently trying to sell the user upgrades, that
make him bigger, better and more interesting. Users that
download the initial Bonzi version are lured by telling them
the free character exists only for a limited time, a $40 value
for free. So far, so good. But this basic version includes
only very limited features, such as one song or a hand
full of jokes and amazing facts. While
the general talkativity is adjustable,
the continuous advertisements keep
on flowing out of his little mouth or
popping up in the middle of the screen.
This is extremely annoying. This guy

The economist is trying to redefine "bullshit jobs" to mean simply "jobs which hold no value to anybody". This excludes zero sum jobs - they are useful to someone.

Graeber defined "bullshit jobs" as jobs which hold no value to society at large. This includes zero sum jobs.

It's an argument over definition followed by an ad hominem - "So what is really going on? Part of the problem, surely, is the prejudice felt by academics like Mr Graeber towards those who work in finance".

It reminds me of this quote:

"It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought ... should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words."

In fact, we had it in mind when we designed TigerBeetle [1][2], a financial accounting database to do a million financial transactions a second.

We started with the data structures, made sure that these were one or two cache lines to reduce cache misses and perfectly aligned to eliminate false sharing, and then we added built-in accounting primitives to move the code to the data, instead of the data back and forth across the network to the code, which is how these kinds of balance tracking systems that we were working with before were typically implemented.

The result is much simpler, a perfect replicated state machine, and also much safer, because the business logic and data are executed within the state machine, protected by the distributed consensus protocol (Viewstamped Replication Revisited by Liskov and Cowling), rather than a mess of SQL transactions spanning multiple distributed systems, all with different clocks.

In a way, it reminds me of "MSFT is Dead" stuff from circa 2008. Google had taken email by storm, was moving on office and seemed to be making web into their own OS. Windows Vista & IE sucked. Google just seemed so much nimbler. Apple had risen from the dead, and was reinventing consumer electronics. MSFT was looking decrepit, the next IBM.

MSFT never panicked. Software was a great business to be in, and the pressure was never financial. Meanwhile, they maintained their own ways and their own cultural advantages, long term perseverance, reverse compatibility, etc.

They didn't win every race. Google won mobile OS, the "browser war. MSFT's attempts at a search business didn't succeed. They did win enough though, plenty. Google was better at web based software earlier, but MSFT held on to Office/Productivity. Office 365 wasn't as slick as early, but it was/is the product businesses will pay for. Most notably, they beat Google on cloud. Cloud was in Google's wheelhouse, and emphatically not in MSFT's. They started late. Google's "paradigm" mentality was great for the early part of the game. Getting where we are today though, that required carrying old paradigms into the new world. It required lots of mess, details, requirements that don't really make sense... That is MSFT's wheelhouse. Meeting companies where they are. Its a foreign concept to Google.

Today, Google is the one that seems weaker. They're plenty rich, and plenty capable technologically. They aren't very good at building businesses though. It's still all about adwords.

MSFT could have gone the way of IBM.
