As far as I know Project Reunion is not really a UI framework - it's more about refactoring Windows APIs into individual libraries which can be used across different OS versions. This should enable apps targeting all versions of Windows 10 to use the latest stuff, in a similar fashion to polyfills in browsers.

This is probably to encourage developers to build software using the new Windows 10 APIs. Which is something they definitely have a problem with - I've been using Windows 10 quite heavily since the first beta and I don't think I've ever seen or used a third party Windows 10 (fluent / modern / metro) application.
There are plenty of options to learn when one is on a short budget.

Have you actually hosted an email server on all five of those?

(Author here:) I too wish there could be an iOS version one day and it is also theoretically possible to do this, i.e. share code between the iOS version and the native Android version.
The issue is, that the intial effort to do this is enormous and then, there'd need to be a maintainer for the finished (and continuously extended) version too.

See here for more information, especially for iOS programmers this might be interesting:

After investing[0] billions per year in traditional communications companies, we still have people where the only way they can get service is by laying the fiber themselves. States have also been trying to invest in expanding fiber, but traditional companies have been just pocketing the money and blocking anyone else from improving things (eg: google fiber).

Starlink seems to be a very cheap option in comparison, even if it has LoS and overheating problems.

It's actually the opposite (to a point, I think). Higher mean free path means more time to accelerate, then hit and ionize something else. That's how fluorescent tubes maintain discharge a meter long at measly voltages.

After years (decades) of crappy office chairs, here's what I found.
High end gaming chair. Not sure which model, but I tested them all at a computer store first. Surprising as usual, the most expensive one wasn't the best fit. It took over an hour of trying different positions.
I chose one that you can lay completely flat, and won't tip over, even if you put your feet up at that position.(nap?)
It's been 3 years, and it's great. I change positions often. It has a dual recline, which gives just straight sitting flexible positions. Then there are many in between options as long as you have longer keyboard mouse cables. Quick and easy, changes to chair.
I agree that desk important too. But with this chair, I often sit at angles to the desk, feet on desk, crossed legs, etc.
Recommend one. (About$250-90 CAD)
I should be clear that I agree with the sentiment of the Burning Man saying as it applies to Burning Man and events like Burning Man, I was just nitpicking the language of the curator. I happen to be part of a group that sometimes hosts events and it does feel like a faux pas when somebody asks if they can 'just watch.'

But I think it goes to show the weakness of the analogy with social media, because participation and observation are very much different things on the internet than in person. I think that's a net benefit, because people can observe (and learn) without intruding in most cases.

> You are responsible for the success and the growth of the people who report to you. You must deeply understand and know your people.

Not sure about this at all. I'm more attracted to the model where the "manager" is a hands-off character that finds and communicates information/resources on behalf of the team. Parallel to that, there might be another "coach" character tasked with helping the team be more effective. Both of these have limited influence on the careers of team members.

What must be avoided is to trigger managers' narcissism such that they start to believe that the output of the team is their work, and the members of the team are "appendices" of them. Separating roles/responsibilities, changing job titles, and so on might help with this.

Avoid using promotion-to-power as a reward, because it attracts the wrong people. Rather, find ways to reward people that influence positively without power.
This specific game is a 2D pixelart rogue-like game, with simple UI, simple graphics, and no need for anything real-time. Vulkan is way overkill for that, and so is Unity.
I don't understand how can you complain to public that some private website (like reddit, facebook, twitter) are not convenient. It's like you came to someone's private garden, whose owner benevolently let you visit for free (and you agree they sell your, say, photos), and you complain to everyone that its entrance is not convenient.

I'd rather let the owner know, or I can always build my own garden. Thankfully there are couple of free, ready-to-use DIY gardens, aka Federated social networks.

> "Full on" would still be, say, 50 degrees F outlet air/dewpoint, but most of the time you wouldn't need that; "energy saving mode" could be, say, 68 degrees F outlet air/dewpoint

If you do that, then the outlet air will have twice as much water.

If you started with hot, humid air, that means you're still going to have quite a bit of humidity even as you drop the temperature through the 70s.

So you're going to need to cool the air more to reach the same level of comfort.

Are you sure the savings outweigh the costs?
Sure, fine. But the MCU still crashes on my (very yellowed screened) unit regularly, randomly. Right now, that doesn't cause me to crash: autopilot stays engaged. The car continues to function. There's even a low-level beep when autopilot is disengaged, even though all other audio fails. Blinkers still work. Etc.

But the new car has removed the shifter stalk, and moved the controls to the screen. Now, if the screen reboots, I can't place the car into park or reverse. With the shifter, I can push and hold the parking button to engage the emergency brakes on the car. Can't do that if the screen is rebooting. The blinkers are now capacitive touch buttons on the steering wheel. While I imagine they'll stay low level and decoupled from the MCU, I sure hope that's the case.

The yoke is possibly the stupidest thing Tesla has done, ever. So many people are going to end up with completely shattered arms as they get into accidents and have the airbags deployed while they're turning and have their arms crossed. All for what? To look cool to a 13-year-old? Idiotic. And I say this as someone with a MS on order for September which I'm desperately hoping I'll be able to get with the regular wheel. Still bitter about the stalks, though.

> Google cares about getting Rust into Android's kernel because they want to credibly claim that Android has fewer zero-days than iOS, and they have a clear public agenda of wanting to get rid of zero-days

It is going to be very hard to achieve this when iOS is moving into the direction to have 100% of userspace API available to Swift, while Android team forces us to use C and C++ for anything related with real time audio, machine learning and 3D API.

Now in Android 12 even Renderscript was replaced with C and C++ alongside Vulkan compute shaders.

The kernel can even be 100% Rust, it won't help those of us that are cloning Oboe or Vulkan github repo, dealing with JNI boilerplate, C and C++ toolchain issues on NDK.
This article is wrong in some significant ways. If you buy out incentive stock options (ISO’s) within 90 days of leaving, then that’s not a taxable event. You will not end up paying regular income tax on the paper profit. That’s a large point of the benefit of receiving ISO’s.

Now - you may very well have to pay Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), as AMT rolls in some otherwise non-taxable transactions into the calculations, this being one of them.

The real kicker is - let’s say you do pay AMT on the paper gains, and then the stock tanks later - you can’t claim that as a loss on your taxes. You can take a credit for the excess that you paid in AMT, but you can only take that a few thousand dollars at a time. So, OP could be in a situation where the shares eventually sell $0.01 in the money, so they would re-earn their $100k investment, but effectively lose the $200k AMT bill (if that’s accurate).

Additionally - you actually can not negotiate to extend the expiration of your purchase option after you leave, because it’s codified in IRS regulations. Companies CAN choose to let you have longer, but then the options become non-qualified stock options, and lose some of the benefits of ISO’s, primarily the non-taxability of the exercise event.
Fourth: in retrospect, it is seen as obvious :)

Steelcase Leap. [1]

Bought one 10 years ago, still great. Main thing is that when you lean back, the base slides forward, but doesn't lift up at your knees. Lumbar support is adjustable, same with armrests on all axes.

At the time, I went around and sat on all the "fancy" office chairs I could find, Herman Miller Aerons & Embody, Harmony Freedom etc. The Leap was the best from the moment I sat down. I got one customized with the colors I wanted, chrome frame and headrest. It was expensive, basically AUD 2K at the time, but the best office investment I made.

If a startup issued RSU’s, then every vesting event would trigger income tax in that year, which employees would have to pay out of pocket, else they would be forced to sell their illiquid pre-IPO non-preferred shares in some secondary market to pay the tax bill.

This would also make every employee into an actual shareholder as of their first vest, and startups really hate having lots of shareholders, because it generates a ton of administrative overhead and paperwork. In fact, if you reach 2000 shareholders, you have to start filing SEC reports as if you’re a public company, which nobody wants to do.

Do you know when they need to have started providing service there at the latest?

They began providing service at higher latitude earlier because that is where the satellites "lump" due to their inclination, so that they needed fewer satellites in total.

They are also required to cover Alaska and have now started launching Starlink satellites into (near-)polar orbits. If these are test sats or actually operational I do not know but they seem to be working on these issues.

All in all they seem to be following a launch-early strategy.

My friends wife is an anti-vaxer. For a while I thought she didn't know the facts or information about vaccines. She's not dumb. She has her masters degree and is a high school math teacher.

After talking to her, it comes down to distrust of the medical industry. The argument I hear is that the number of vaccines administered to children has been rising. The point of the medical industry is not health, it's profit. The process, not the vaccines themselves are the issue because the system could release something dangerous and nonessential and that would be okay as long as money is made.

Once you assume bad faith, all the data and information you could gather is worthless. It could all have been cherry-picked, or statistically manipulated. Belief in bad faith comes from distrust. Merely removing thimerosal from vaccines and doing studies disproving a lack of causality between vaccines and autism does not build trust. Scientists are flustered at the moving target the anti-vax movement presents [1]. Thoroughly disproving a theory just presents more new theories. The problem was never information.

Trust (or lack thereof) is the biggest threat to public health.

Well technically you should've had 2 follow up tests. Or 2-3 initial tests for actual data point.

I agree we need to improve this, yet we are in such an early age of medicine is basically a joke. There are nowhere near enough doctors to even scroll thru your tests, let alone to analyse them. The focus still is mostly on curing the most obvious symptomatic cases.

Also tests require tons of samples. IIRC there's over 2000 different blood tests. Unsure of minimum blood volume needed, but even at 1 ml that's already 30% of your total blood volume! I guess pee is easier lol.
