Way back when I was still on LinkedIn they suggested I connect with a neighbor in my apartment building. The only thing we had in common was the street address. We'd never spoken. I recognized her from being around, and that she worked in the store around the corner.

What finally pushed me out was they kept suggesting I connect with people from a former employer, which employer I would prefer to just forget. I'd even taken the employer's name off my resume.

I wonder what people trying to avoid abusive spouses and other dangerous people can do. Probably have to leave LinkedIn.
Wait, it's the same Unreal evolved over the years, rather than brand new versions started from scratch ?
There are products where B stands for 'be' in combination with 'gone'. So in a way it says "be flat" as a program invocation, it's not just about notes if you ask me.
Windows 11 Installation Demands TPM Hardware Support
Because they're redoing large chunks of the game every few years when the stuff already in is decided to be obsolete.

There are items on the progress tracker for replacing the rendering engine even now. It's insanity.
Yes, a lot of people have shared their contacts with LinkedIn. I get suggestions to match with employees of moving companies I've used, owners of small stores whose mailing lists I'm on, etc.

I really think use of LinkedIn deserves a dedicated email address unassociated with anything else.
Did you know the background of unherd? If you did you might not have regard for this.
Did you mean for this comment to go somewhere else? This seems to have nothing to do with the difference between DNC emails and Anthony Weiner emails. [EDIT:] The point of this thread is whether alleged Russian hacks of the DNC turned the election in Trump's favor. This seems extremely dubious to me, and references to both Comey's letters and Colin Powell's dozens of email indiscretions seem completely beside the point.
I find this claim a little hard to believe. Data centers routinely replace ~3 year old computers because the number of old computers they would need to keep running and cooling exceeds the cost of new more efficient hardware. The price of new hardware includes all the energy costs of producing it. Obviously the environmental externalities of energy aren't fully priced in, but that is also the case for data center energy.

What might be a more useful comparison is a $20 5W raspberry pi vs. a 2009 100W (at best) desktop computer where a month of continuous desktop operation costs more in energy than the new raspberry pi and ~1 year of usage.

Well, it is really difficult to tell them apart these days. Mozilla does like to copy everything google does, if you look at firefox.
So that document says:

There are new minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. In order to run Windows 11, devices must meet the hardware specifications. Devices that do not meet the hardware requirements cannot be upgraded to Windows 11.

The link for "Supported Intel Processors" brings me back to the original link that you claim is only for system builders and only lists i8 and above. So I'm not sure where the actual list of supported processors is.

Technically speaking, STAR voting is a form of cardinal voting, while ranked-choice encompasses the various ordinal methods.

The distinction here is that in STAR voting, I could rank two candidates equally to show that I have no preference between them. Also, I don't have to rank the candidates in order: I could give my first-place a score of 5, my second place a score of 2, and my third place a score of 0. If I scored my second place candidate as 3, this ballot could result in a different outcome.
Feedstock production is highly efficient. Grazing animals for meat is very inefficient in terms of caloric output. This is to say nothing about morality or even nutrition.
They used to present something that looked like a gmail login, that if you used it, LinkedIn would take your credentials and spam all your contacts. I think they lost a lawsuit about that, and no longer have that dialogue... perhaps the app mines your contacts directly? This is one of the reasons I have never installed it.

Ask HN: How to Deal with Disagreements?
I am wondering what resources are there to learn how to deal with disagreements. At work, I have too many people disagreeing with what I am saying. My team or org. in general argue endlessly without reaching the conclusion. I usually step in, sometimes to avoid disagreements, but people treat that as either authoritative or agree with grunts.

Any suggestions and material to learn from?
> What could POSSIBLY take so long‽

This is something I find myself asking more and more almost every time I use a computer or mobile device. I have multiple cores here. Why is anything stuttering? Why are these processes taking so much memory up? Why is this web page pulling down 100MB of traffic? Why do I remember text console DOS apps being so much more responsive than today's click-then-wait UI apps? Before spinning hard drives dropped out of fashion, you could hear that thing grinding away, doing who knows what, while the computer was sitting there supposedly idle! What gives software developers the idea that they can just have their software just wake up and do things without the user commanding it?

Just a particularly egregious example: If there's one thing that nothing on the entire system should preempt, it's the mouse cursor. If I move the mouse, the cursor should move instantly. There is nothing more important that the computer should be doing. I thought this was like a basic, very well understood rule and a solved problem. Hell, I recall a long time ago things like mouse cursor drawing were driven off a hardware interrupt. On today's "modern" computers, if I have a lot of applications running in the background, the mouse cursor will stutter and lag, and text input will be buffered and show up N seconds after I type. Totally unacceptable, yet software continues to ship like this.

EDIT: Sorry, the rant kind of drifted off of the "nobody cares about bloat" problem and into the general "nobody cares about performance" problem.
Yep! It's one of the things that's nice about the .NET ecosystem. We didn't have to wait for self-contained executables and got them back in 2018 (even if it wasn't perfect, it worked well enough) and they refined it as time went along in a way that didn't require me to do things.

Microsoft could have waited until .NET 5/6 to offer self-contained executables "the right way", but they were able to create something that offered 90% of people what they wanted a few years earlier.
> I'd love to never hear about another coronavirus again.

We should definitely hear about coronavirus again and again until everyone learns that millions of people might die unless we completely master immunology. Public awareness, safety measures, and vaccine development should get as much attention as possible until we have a pipeline that allows to develop and distribute vaccines in a matter of months. We never know what next pandemic might strike.
You don't see how causing many people to worry and get invasive screening per person you have a true positive for is a worse outcome?
> The users who are voting now

Except no one is voting "now", they voted nine months ago and now this post is making an entire article centered around that vote.
The lawyer brain in me is asking me to define “the industry”.

If “the industry” is one that currently uses POTS then it is the most secure, yes- because they sell enterprise software to various industries.

The thing is: they use different protocols on their consumer apps than their enterprise ones; only the enterprise ones have an open (or, released) protocol specification.
The books Democracy For Realists and then Why We Are Polarized cured me of remaining notions that any signicant fraction of people vote based on platforms, ideas, policy.

Also, your comment comes across as an ad hominem attack, not sure if I'm just misreading it though.
I don't think most voters understood or believed in the distinction. Further, I think you know that, and that you are arguing in bad faith. To wit: you've repeatedly edited the portion of a parent comment in which you made reference to other administrations' use of state department email resources.

>> Windows

I run Mac OS (M1 Air), Windows (Lenovo Yoga), and Mint (ThinkPad T420). I stick to Windows virtually all of the time. Mint is good, Windows is better. It's all subjective.

>> Office

The Google options don't come close, whether that be for performance, features, or privacy.

>> XBox

I have an XBox One. As it happens you're right, I use a PC more. But using Windows, so that only reinforces the first point.

>> Azure

Slightly more expensive than AWS but far easier to understand and use. And GCP is too limited and too likely to deprecate and/or re-version, expecting me to do the work to stop the business and upgrade rather than them maintaining some compatibility and longevity.

>> VS Code

As said elsewhere, your mention of it not being free implies you're mixed up with Visual Studio. VS Code has, by many surveys, over 50% of the IDE market - including for languages like Python and Go. It's both free and fast.
>his decisions seem to have worked out amazingly well.

As someone who regularly deals with bugs and inconsistencies in Linux, I wouldn't say so. For me personally, I just want to be able to fix the issues, and would rather not spend the time bickering with someone who has some kind of personal vendetta about something that I don't know about. I try hard not to dump my baggage on other open source maintainers, I hope others can do the same.

There are words for these other things, so while "ugly" is a broad term, there are significant genetic components. Facial symmetry, body shape, skin color and tone.

I have been involved in hiring discussions at many companies. At the small/medium sized ones, especially startups before the #metoo world, the execs liked to explicitly talk about a persons attractiveness in the hiring stage.

It's less of a "don't hire this person for being ugly" and more of a "hire this person because they are attractive".

I've tried using new Android Jetpack Compose libraries to rebuild my old Android app. Basic application with single activity is a bit below 6MB, optimized for release. This is really bad, compared to my original application, which apk is a bit smaller at 4MB, and includes offline maps and additional routing data.

It's probably impossible for Google to keep all shared libraries on devices, as there are millions of those not getting updates, so only way is to keep everything duplicated in each app. Now I'm considering converting app to PWA, even if it means that UI will look out of place and potentially will have more accessibility issues. At least I hope to keep app size as small as possible.
> Of course, even though you can sign up online, you have to cancel on the phone. On hold for 20-30 minutes during work hours, then talk to the rep, then listen to their retention offer, then it's successfully cancelled.

I haven't been in this situation, but I always imagined that there is a simple way out: send them a certified letter instructing them to cancel your subscription. If they continue charging after that, it's chargeback time.

Any opinions on whether or not this would work?

To repeat, I genuinely don't understand why you would work so hard to justify anti-web behaviors, particularly ones users are so vulgarly locked into.

It seems overwhelmingly weird.

If you want to see that as an attack, well ok. That's not how I intended it. I'm super confused by this. I think you should try to tackle this questioning, not coward out. It seems ultra-convenient for you to dip out at this moment, to refuse questioning, after having been on the attack & aggressive against other people for so long. You have been a knife against choice, & now you are refusing any defense or explanation of yourself. I'm not sorry you don't like how I ask, but it's not ad-hominem. And I think you should be held to account, provide explanation for why you would so aggressively attack user choice & acess to a modern web.
I noticed in the Powertoys devdocs[1] it mentions the settings[2] uses React. This looks to be for the settings. Windows 11 had some multi-tasking changes which look very similar to Fancy Zones and I wouldn't be surprised if they are using React in Windows 11 itself.

I assume they are probably using React Native through their FluentUI[3]. Would be curious if anyone knows more info on it.

The infractions necessary for being "disappeared" or re-educated are different in the US, yes. Yet I could very easily say things on this very site that would lead me straight to prison in my own country, and I owe it directly to US cultural influence because my country does not have those issues for which I'd go to prison. Is that really better? TBH I'm not sure. What's sure is that red is dead, but imperialism is alive and kicking.

tl;dr: The recommendation is likely driven from you and the provider adding each other to a contacts app LinkedIn has been authorized to source connection data from.

The "People You May Know" feature on LinkedIn is powered by a combination of:

- network analysis (you know A, B, and C. they all know D. you may know D.)

- mining data from your mobile address book (you have A in your contacts, A has you in their contacts, you may know A.)

The recommendation likely occurred as a result of you and the provider adding each other as a contact in a contacts app each of you have authorized LinkedIn to access.

That’s technically true, but it’s obviously not true in practice — a 5-min video system means that everything will be self-contained within those 5 minutes.

TV is the clearest counter-example (though it has additional constraints, like week-long gaps) — you need an ending at each 30 minutes, because you don’t expect the viewer to watch 4 episodes in one sitting. And this obviously isn’t the same as 2 hrs in a movie, where they expect the viewer to sit through the whole thing continuously.

Even on Netflix, where they do expect you to binge watch, they still have to uphold the ending-per-episode constraint, because they’ve told the viewer this is a natural stopping point, by virtue of the format
