Yes. By that age people getting tired of "being managed".

Large companies have more management positions though. What should someone 40+ do at a small firm? Start again at BIG Co as developer and wait 5-10 years to become manager or tech lead? Is that the only option? Can we say 40+ developers at small companies are mostly buried without carrier path? (I think it can be the case for many.)
Doesn't this defeat the purpose (at least partially?)

I assume law enforcement can request those keys from Microsoft if they're backed up to the account.
> I have never believed in or practiced a diet before in my life. I have never fallen for a scam in my entire life.

That second sentence alone is a bright red flag with sequins and bells on. But in this context... if you don't believe in this red meat diet, why are you pitching it so hard?

I think it's going to be a little bit more challenging as the consoles are ahead with the storage capabilities as a baseline. Back in 2006 the consoles were (roughly) DX9 levels, so there wasn't really much incentive to push ahead unless your studio was a trailblazer. Now studios making games need to think on which audience they prioritize.

To a certain extent I anticipate it could be "a storm in a teacup", the new consoles have strong CPUs so that would naturally drive people gaming on PC to upgrade anyway. There's no games coming out (that I know of) with an imminent need to utilize direct storage, but I'd guess late 2022/2023 onwards is where it becomes strongly encouraged.
No, its deployed as a club to argue that all change is good.
The "will create trash" reason is why Apple refused to switch to USB-C on the iPhone. They claim this while bundling USB-C to Lightning cables with the iPhone 12 which is among the most junk-worthy, limited-use types of cable I could imagine. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51208912
A good example of this is "good" Tomatoes versus the slimy, gooey, tasteless thing you find in supermarkets. It's like a completely different vegetable.

Personally, i feel like something is "unbalanced" or missing in me as i get these flashes of "waking up" not to some euphoria or bliss but just clarity that feels "normal" that sometimes lasts for hours.

I'm pretty sure most people are deficient in various "hard to measure" nutrients - i myself for example have felt completely changed after megadosing B12, but as with most supplements the effects rarely lasts. The culprit i suspect is mostly soil depletion and diet that despite being more varied often is grown from "diluted" soil, and with most calories from incredibly refined and therefore nutrientlesss fats and carbohydrates.

Gut biome is probably another important mirror aspect in this system.

A "hard floor" published earlier this week implied that only TPM 1.0 with a dualcore and 4gb of ram is required, although news emerged that the hard floor was revised up.

Microsoft is not handling the hard floor question well at all.

Making my bed. I never made my bed as an early adult or teenager. Started doing it one day, and thought, holy shit, this is the best thing ever, having the same bed every night. Now I always make my bed at night (yeah I know, means it's messy all day, but then at least it can breathe), right before I shower.
There are people for whom a vegan diet works. You seem to be one of them. I tried it a few times, and no matter what I supplemented, I would lose weight rapidly. I understand that it can turn into a moral argument as well, except that I kill fewer animals than you to eat. Responsibly-grown meat is less detrimental to local ecosystems than vegetables.
> You don’t know what you don’t know.

We all know and expect soda, chips, chocolate, and other highly fattening snack foods to be in the store, prominently displayed near checkouts, often advertised at a discount on sale.

> It’s not on your list because you didn’t want it when you went to the store.

Right. That's because in our considered state of mind, we reject those dietary choices as unhealthy. And yet, we end up buying it after we are exposed to retail layouts that are designed by psychologists to maximise the profit of the store owner.

> I never understand people who try to make this seem nefarious.

What would you call it?
So, what's in those generations that might actually matter to Microsoft? As you say, it's unlikely to be about performance. Is it some instruction set, or feature flags? It's unlikely to be about virtualization capabilities, as Intel still happily sells the newest chips "differentiated" to be virtually challenged. Did those generations introduce some crypto algorithm/primitive that Microsoft doesn't want to go without? A new system management mode? On-die microphone?
> The catch22 has always been, nobody is using the software on Linux enough for enough people to be submitting feedback, while simultaneously, not enough people believe Linux is worth moving to.

The problem is somewhere else: Most Linux software doesn't have commercial backers but is written by people to a "works fine enough for me" standard, often with no UX/UI design at all or copying from Windows/OSX at best. As a result, "ordinary" people used to the Windows/OSX get frustrated because of wildly differing design principles between programs, no design principles at all (hello GTK), basic stuff (hello Bluetooth, suspend, audio) not working or atrocious performance. I'm nearly 30 now and don't have the free time to deal with kernel recompilations, trying out forks or whatever just to have a basic system I can work with anymore.

"You get what you pay for" is a thing you might look past when you're young and only have to choose how to divide your time between experimenting with hardware, gaming and getting wasted.

And in most of the time, I can't even pay for proper support because the developers only make their project on their own as a side gig, which means no project management and issue handling either other than filing issues in a pile of issues in Github (or, worse, mailing lists)...

Edit: another thing that comes to mind... people always complain why schools aren't using FOSS but proprietary software (Windows, MS Office). Well guess what, teachers don't have the time to waste on bugs (Libreoffice is nowhere near as polished as MS Office is), explaining to parents why their kids have to learn something different to what everyone else uses at home or to maintain a FOSS-based AD. Samba is decent for a setup in which you have a team of experienced engineers (since you save on licensing costs heavily), but nothing beats the simplicity of a MS Server GUI.
Nicely captured and well thought out. As an engineering manager with 30 engineers in a 120-people company working on a social marketplace, our company requires an extraordinary amount of coordination, while engineers also need to focus.

I do feel like the post speaks quite a bit about extremes - focus, coordination, perfect, unproductive etc etc, while most of the teams sit somewhere in between trying to find that balance the author is referring to.

Also, the position of where they are changes on a daily basis depending on what work is being done and who is joining and who is leaving.

Wearing my engineer hat on, I'd love to, just get the requirements and tell everyone to go away while I focus on my work, but I also understand the whole coordination part. It's absolutely critical to making the team efficient & productive, which often go unnoticed and unappreciated.

How do you change the system without a movement? What are the better ideas?

Outside of democratic movements nothing works. I would not be comparing this to essential oils. Democratic movements have difficult developments. Sabotage, sophists, scammers are all the issues many democratic movements have to deal with. Movements are what they are. A lot more people were and will be hurt in Hong Kong protest. People will be hurt with or without a movement. With a movement people have a chance. The system will always paint the movement as a caricature.
Stopped using all drugs and alcohol over 25 years ago. At the time, it was one of the most difficult things I did in my life. The knock-on effects of doing that, combined with practicing a 12-Step Program (as an Atheist) has had a profound effect in innumerable aspects of my life.
Taller landing gear makes loading the plane (especially with luggage) much harder.
Wow, over a decade! I'm sure you have much feedback to offer. You've convinced me to change the way search works with fanned isotopes. Currently, searching for "infinity" under half-life will show stable elements or ">0" under abundance will show non-zero values by dimming those isotopes. Instead, I'll have it filter them out entirely rather than adjusting opacity.
In my experience, it's typically been the opposite. Countries with harsher capital controls / make it harder to use Bitcoin, attract a premium in the purchase / sale of Bitcoin.

South Africa for example has very strict capital controls, hence the price to buy or sell Bitcoin is higher than elsewhere. The catch is that you can't easily move fiat out of the South African economy, which makes abritrage, to take advantage of this imbalance, impossible.

This is fair, but you have to admit the same statement applies to evangelical vegans.

I really don't see why they limit to 2.0 rather than 1.2
They could support both easily but choose not to.

This could be their way to lower the amount of testing they have to do, but for a company the size of Microsoft that's inexcusable.

That fact the 7th gen Intel (like the 7700k that has TPM 2.0) or first gen Zen aren't supported is bad enough but that Microsoft is silent about it and even their PMs and Security employees on twitter just brush it off as "There are more requirements" is pure BS.
Around here its the same brands and same cardboard boxes at the farmers market, the upscale supermarket, and the organic supermarket, although they mark the price up at the farmers market because of the extra labor and substantial fees the market charges, also its sort of a hipster tax. In addition to paying to park at the farmers market.
I was wondering when someone was going to bring up climate change. And this article is the only thing that’s brought it up in this thread so far, meanwhile everyone else seems to be talking about taking magnesium pills.

This is just another sign that climate change is making this planet uninhabitable for us.

> Ever tried to have 100% daily recommended intake of every nutrient?

I take soylent (that is, a European fork of it) with some regularity. Mainly out of laziness, but also I hope that it's good for whatever I might have been deficient in when eating other foods. It doesn't reduce how healthy I try to eat, but with a picky partner and semi-picky self, it probably helps. It's also just convenient. Would recommend. The flavored versions, that is, not the cardboard variant.

In case anyone wants to get started and isn't sure what to try first, some of the variants I tried or know people that tried it:

- Jimmy Joy (previously: Joylent), their Plenny Shake powder: I like all flavors that I tried (that is chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana).

- Nano: not a big fan of it, and neither is friend A that gave it to me iirc.

- Huel: friends B and C liked it a lot better than JJ, but the Huel Black (B,C didn't try that one) is absolutely disgusting to me as well as to friend D. I and friends A,D never tried the regular Huel.

Not sure how close each is to the original Soylent, but Joylent as a name probably says enough. If you read their blog, the updates to the powder seem to be about things like "uptake was found not to be great for X so we increased that" and some such. I also liked SoylentLife which iirc was closer to Soylent than Joylent was at the time, but they went out of business.

One interesting data point is that I am much less vitamin D deficient than my girlfriend who doesn't eat any soylent variants (she doesn't like any). We eat many meals together / the same stuff, and if anything she sees more sunlight than I do, so that might say something or nothing. There have also been a lot of people that do Jimmy Joy only (eating nothing else) for months and then have their blood checked and it comes back clean. From what I've been able to find, it's quite fine as a food replacement, but of course you don't have to (and I don't) use it that way. Other brands probably have similar tests done on them but I didn't look into those as I only ever ate them experimentally.

Yes.

Just like if you take some extra Zinc (30mg-50mg picolinate) for a variety of reasons - you have to take a bit of copper with it, or eventually your copper supplies will be drained and start causing issues.
> It's heartbreaking for BAs, POs, PMs, and every other flavor of functionary when they realize that, after some* years of experience, the programmers understand the business just as well as they do.

Why heartbreaking? That should make it easier for everybody to do their job, and to do it better.
Talking out of our ass, are we? The Ambanis had already established their supremacy and had flourished under Congress rule too, BJP's rise and the corresponding co-dependence was a relatively recent phenomenon.

Regardless, it can't be denied that no one has brought such drastic changes in the country as M.Ambani. The entire country's mobile app and e-commerce market exists practically because of Jio's disruption in the telecom sector.
The most dislikable thing about Windows 7 is the limitation of clear text SMB2.

There is nothing new here. Any new Windows version has transformed the previous generation of PCs into trash since people moved from DOS as a main user interface to Windows 3.

And people say "my PC is slow because it is getting old"... Even if the hardware has the exact same performance and almost the same usage like in its first day.

Why should they stop when customers comply and give them money? ... for ethics? for the environment? Who believes Microsoft has such concerns?
The requirements list will be most likely eased later on - IIRC it was also the case for virtually all major versions of Windows. The reason of this strictness is usually lack of testing or some compatibility features not being completed by the date of first release.
The journalctl binary format seems to handle corruption pretty well. That was a design criteria.

Everyone forgets or tries to ignore that text files ARE A BINARY FORMAT. It is encoded in 7-bit ASCII with records delimited by 0x0a bytes.

Corruption tends to be missing data, and so the reader has to jump ahead to find the next synchronization byte, aka 0x0a. This also leads to log parsers producing complete trash as they try to parse a line that has a new timestamp right in the middle of it.

Or there's a 4K block containing some text and then padded to the end with 0x00 bytes. And then the log continues adding more after reboot. Again, that's fixed by ignoring data until the next non-zero byte and/or 0x0a byte. This problem makes it really obvious that text logs are binary files.

See the format definition at https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/journal-fi...

And here, this isn't perfect but if you had to hack out the text with no journalctl available you could try this:

grep -a -z 'SYSLOG_TIMESTAMP=\|MESSAGE=' /var/log/journal/69d27b356a94476da859461d3a3bc6fd/system@4fd7dfdde574402786d1a1ab2575f8fb-0000000001fc01f1-0005c59a802abcff.journal | sed -e 's/SYSLOG_TIMESTAMP=\|MESSAGE=/\n&/g'

This whole article is written from a very subjective point of view. It's obvious that the author has strong emotional feelings about this. At one point the author says something like "I’ve seen it firsthand in so many occasions and contexts that it can’t be just anecdotal data." (this is the very definition of anecdotal data).

My dad in Spain, which was an internet backwater back in the day, was buying books from Barnes & Noble circa 96. I was downloading songs off Napster around 98.

The dot com bust, which was around 99/00, was a build-up of huge economic expectations around the internet indeed. Granted that this bubble was mostly caused supply-side (many companies barely had users), but the internet as a whole had millions and millions of users, ~250M circa 99 [1], carrying out all sorts of activities.

Whether most end-users were aware of its true potential is irrelevant - the comparison to crypto, both in terms of timelines (13 years and counting with few applications to show for it) and usefulness, is preposterous.

I agree but think its also the variety. I once bought semigreen tomatoes in a supermarket in December in Italy and those turned out great after some ripening at home. But they were not the standard red tomatoes you would get everywhere else but real italian flesh tomatoes. Last year my grandma had only standard red ping-pong ball tomatoes and those were almost like store bought, although grown like you described. The other grandma had old varieties and the leftovers in February were still awesome. There are also rumors that grafting while increasing yield decreases flavour, though I haven't tested that
Honestly, melting two open source editors together (or rather cloning one while integrating the other) and ask for that amount of money for it is in my opinion unacceptable. The only thing that would make this a bit more acceptable is when the developers are promising to spend a lot of their earnings for vim development (and maybe VSCode, too).

*edit:* Just saw that it is actually open source and will be available for non-commercial use for free. I'm more than fine with that model!
I'm keeping fingers crossed copper will fall back down. I was pricing out some heavy gauge wire last year for a project and passed because I wasn't ready to work on it. Now I'm kicking myself for not pulling the trigger.
Anyone can state an etymology with more certainty than warranted; that doesn't mean the etymology is actually known. The page you quoted says:

> The word Puzzle comes from pusle “bewilder, confound” which is a frequentive of the obsolete verb pose (from Medieval French aposer) in sense of “perplex”.

But etymonline (Douglas Harper's Online Etymology Dictionary) says (https://www.etymonline.com/word/puzzle):

> 1590s, pusle "bewilder, confound, perplex with difficult problems or questions," possibly frequentative of pose (v.) in obsolete sense of "perplex" (compare nuzzle from nose).

Note the word "possibly". Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Puzzle&oldid=1029...) says:

> The etymology of the verb puzzle is described by [the Oxford English Dictionary] as "unknown"; unproven hypotheses regarding its origin include an Old English verb puslian meaning 'pick out', and a derivation of the verb pose.

And this is the full note in the version of OED I have access to:

> [Note. For the etymology of puzzle the first question is the relation of the n. and vb. The vb. has been held to be derived from the n., and the latter viewed as an aphetic form of apposal or opposal. But the chronology of the words, and still more the consideration of their sense-history, seem to make it clear that the verb came first, and that the n. was its derivative. In the light of this, the vb. has been referred to pose v. 2, as a diminutive (or other derivative formation), as in suck, suckle. This is phonetically possible: cf. nuzzle from nose. But there are serious difficulties in the signification. Of the earlier sense of puzzle, as seen in the examples under 1a above, no trace appears in the original sense of pose and appose `to examine by putting questions', and it is only the derivative senses 2 of pose and 1c of puzzle that come into contact. Thus their relation seems to be that of two words originally distinct, which (as in some other cases) have subsequently attracted each other. Puzzle was possibly the same verb of which the pa. pple. poselet occurs late in the 14th c., app. in the sense `bewildered, confused, confounded', and which, riming with hoselet, i.e. hūselet, housled, was prob. pronounced (ˈpuːzəlɛt), which would regularly give by 1600 (ˈpʊzlɛd), later (ˈpʌzlɛd). The non-appearance of the verb during the intervening 200 years might be owing to its being one of the colloquial words which came into literary use in the 16th c. This is however conjectural and, even if true, leaves the ulterior derivation still to seek. (A verb of similar form appears in late OE. puslian `to pick out best pieces of food' (Sweet), = Du. peuzelen to pick, to piddle, LG. pöseln, pusseln, Norw. pusla; but it is difficult to see in its sense any connexion with that of `puzzle'.)]
Try not to take things so personally that aren't even directed at you. Good grief.

FOSS is great but there are still plenty of places where it doesn't measure up, even in terms of pure functionality. Having an appropriate and level-headed understanding of things isn't `shitting on the effort of the Open Source community` and someone can recognize this without being a corporate shill.
It knows what name you intended to use, because that's in your source, so I'm pretty sure it isn't a problem if implementations converge and diverge.
To get there, though, you need everything upgraded. Keyboards, sure, but also compilers and editors and IDEs and static analysis tools and grep and...
