There are certainly features in VS that are not in VS code (otherwise the install size of what 20x? would be pretty crazy). Tools like profilers for example. Visual designers are also among them but are not a requirement. I develop both WPF and WinForms and don’t use designers even though I have had VS enterprise for the last 20 years.. so the question is “can you do it” and “do they have the same feature set” which are obviously two separate questions. There are features available in vscode that aren’t available in VS too.
1. Most of the highest uptake in YOY were from Greater China.

2. 5G is a thing.

3. People are actually upgrading to 5G smartphone because they want their phone to last longer. Instead of buying another phone again.

4. China also has the largest 5G deployment. Their MNO upgrade to 5G is also a few years ahead of everyone else due to their needs from a high population density.

5. iOS 14 widget is surpassingly favourable among Android Switchers.

6. Google's reputation due to privacy concern is having some effect on Android market.

7. The urge to spend due to not being able to do much at home.

Basically it is lots of factors creating a perfect storm.

I still maintain the same analogy as 10 years ago, iOS / iPhone is a smartphone appliance trying to push upwards into a computer, while Android is a pocket computer trying to be like a Smartphone Appliance. Both have their appeals, but generally speaking I tend to prefer the less complex, simple model of iOS. But yes they are increasingly alike.

> the kind of people who need to cram leetcodes and memorize algorithms are not the kinds of people who Google wants to pass these interviews.

I thought it was exactly those who Google wants to pass. Anecdote: ex-colleague of mine who is not specially bright studied 3 months how to "crack the coding interview" and got a job at Google. His knowledge about algorithms and data structures was like mine: I know what a tree is, I know there exists operations one can perform on them and some of them are more performant/efficient than others... but I would need to Google how to "reverse a binary tree" if I had to do it in less than 1h.
> BTW, D is the first language of its type (curly brace static compilation) to be able to execute arbitrary code at compile time. It started as kind of "let's see what happens if I implement this", and it spawned an explosion of creativity. It has since been adopted by other languages.

I don't know much about D compile time evaluation. How is it better than macros/templates?

Also, what do you think about Haskell's and Rust's approach of generics with typeclass/trait bounds?
I have exactly the same problem, I've used Notes, I've used Trello and eventually settled on Notion.

I tried out some complicated templates, tried making my own but in the end I've gone back to a pretty unorganised Trello style list in Notion.

Every time I use it I feel bad that I'm not using it 'properly', in a way it almost has so many features that it becomes too much and I use none of them.
> They tell me it’s to hand out teddy bears to kids.

This sounds like heavy sarcasm.
Anyways, I do believe that “more charity” is a false conclusion. Not everything is charity, especially when the organizations are lobbying against others rights.

More so, when your own research shows that they use your money for various purposes, and other investigations show that most of these charities are corrupt.
> restarts their machine on a whim for updates

That's the thing, it's not their machine if they are running Windows on it. It's Microsofts. They can even wake up your machine to apply updates whenever they want.
> I really am not sure if you were being sarcastic

I was not :P But the commenter also said in the linked comment that they "understand how git works", so I took the liberty to make a few assumptions ;)

> But the fact that GIT imposes its internal data model on you

It does, to some degree, but once you get a grip of "everyday commands" that go beyond commit/merge (cherry-pick, rebase, reset, reflog), it's actually almost surprising how little you have to know about gits internals. It does help to have an idea about them, though.

My main complaint about git is that most commands have too many options that make it do too many different things. And that resolving conflicts via command line is absolutely atrocious (something I actively avoid and discourage).

> I know that one day I'll get completely sick of GIT and will research and learn it to the bone

I can only recommend it! It's really not that hard as many people suspect (as I've mentioned, I have a bit of a habit of teaching people git at work). If you had any exposure to something computer science in the past, the puzzle pieces probably start to come together after some hours.

And it's probably one of the longer-lasting constants in our industry, so in my opinion, it's really worth it to know how to make good use of it.
i use an S10 currently which is already old, iirc it still prompts me for updates. In any case realistically i ll buy another phone in a 1-2 years. The interesting thing is that these iPhone buyers do the same, they keep buying the new models instead of keeping their old or buying used ones, so it can't be the superior updates support.

Frankly i think the biggest driver for iphone replacement is screens breaking. It's very costly to replace that on an iphone
>>"or this money will eventually end up as new money in someone's pocket (via new loans) and potentially create inflation. "

For that to happen you need enough credit demand in the economy.

It could happen, and, as you say, the Fed would increase the interest rate making reserves less available (credit more expensive), but the number of reserves in the system doesn't cause directly more money in the economy. It depends of the type of recovery.
My brother wanted to play CoD Warzone with me and of course it doesn't work with Proton. After attempting and failing to dual boot into Windows (how hard could it be to create a bootable Windows installation usb key?), yesterday I decided to try vfio. It actually was quite straightforward and way simpler than one would expect from the very intimidating archlinux wiki page. I spent more time getting a nice grub vfio menu entry than actually setting up the VM.

Of course now I expect I'll be eventually banned for running under a VM.

Proton support for anti-cheats can't come soon enough.
This makes only sense, even if the efficacy of hydrogen conversion is quite low. But the excess energy will still be generated in any case. It doesn't make sense to build nuclear plants for hydrogen conversion though.

Take a look at https://woob.tech. In a nutshell, it is a bunch of open source python modules which allows you to scrape websites as a unified API. (i.e "bank", "classified ads", "recipes", etc.)

They mostly cover European (especially French, since the original author is French) banks. But they have some US ones.
What Virgin Media modem+router are you using?

I have a Superhub 3.0. In modem-only mode there's no PPPoE, it just rather transparently acts like you have an ethernet cable running to your ISP. Just putting dhcp in my hostname.em0 works exactly as intended and my router gets assigned the public IP address.
I use SmartGit (there are many other visual tools), as I have no interest in untangling the utterly hostile Git command-line interface. Using the terminal to stage chunks of a file? No thanks.

I feel no embarrassment about it either. You may pride yourself in using Vim, while working on a multi-thousand-file project. You are a power user, good for you. Now go collect other time-wasting useless accolades, like Pokemons.
Even if a lot of garbage can be traced to Asian countries (that might be because of currents into the pacific) there is still a massive problem with plastic elsewhere.

For example in a documentary with Simon Reeve where he tours the mediterranean he visits a conservation center for sea turtles. The staff there show him a bunch of plastic found inside the stomachs of two of their rescues and among the plastic found was a pasta wrapper.

So I think the type of plastic in the worlds oceans is completely dependent on how streams communicate into the ocean.

> At this point I'm pretty sure FAANG hiring is just a random walk. Every now again someone happens to have looked at all the questions they ask recently for that particular interview cycle (or avoid the trap ones like that) and that person gets hired (and then put on the ad targeting team or whatever).

This might actually be part of the retention strategy. If everyone who works at FAANG knows that they're somewhat lucky to get in, regardless of ability, it means they are less likely to jump ship. What's the point in applying for another job when you're already paid well and it's unlikely to end in anything but lost time? You're unlikely to win a 10% lottery twice, given the amount of time you'd bother investing.

I don't think Activision bans VM players. I've been playing Warzone in a VM since it was released without issues.

The Outer Worlds is one of the big AAA titles I ended up playing on Linux. I've historically played a lot of them on Windows out of pessimism but The Other Worlds was dying in the opening cutscene on Windows for no explicable reason so I gave it a go on Linux and so far it's worked perfectly.
> Go to a carrier store and these are so many modern looking Android devices that rival the iPhone 12.

No. Nothing rivals the iPhone 12. Its Apple Silicon CPU makes it the most powerful smartphone by a wide margin. And Apple didn't make the galaxybrain decision to include a runtime with a GC. Because, you know, they care about the entire user experience, including battery life and everything running at a smooth 60fps.
The alternative may be Mercurial?
>Moreover, you can reapply every six months. In result, this gives you perhaps 5-10 lottery tickets every year,

you are aware of the saying that the lottery is a tax on stupidity?

I guess that is perhaps a little harsh, but only a little.

First off, I don't think I would want to work at any place where getting in there is represented as winning a lottery ticket. Think of the poor oompa-loompas enslaved in Willy Wonka's factory.

Second off, perhaps it's just my vantage as a consultant in Denmark but everything I've read about working in Google has made me think it doesn't seem very enticing.

Third off, even when I was not married with kids I would not have wanted to spend so much time twice a year! How many unpaid hours a year are people willing to work for a lottery ticket that essentially pays out a top-paying job?
I really wish the CEO would get off his own koolaid and add start dates. I get it, you don't use them. I would find them useful. I spend a good few hours a week trying to work around the lack of start dates in Todoist haha. One day I'll pay someone to set up Omnifocus for me and switch to that.

It would be super convenient and would stop my checking out every god damn todo app that comes across my radar too

I know, break tasks down further if they need a start date, whatever. It doesn't work for me, I tried. I don't want to spend my life organising a todo app I just want to do the things in the todo app and then go lie down

Honestly I'd prefer due date be replaced with start date as far as which is more useful. Using Todoist in that way doesn't work well either, I tried.

Who avoids it? Israel is written about, almost always negatively, on a daily basis on all major newspapers.

Only the "Serverless Function Region" feature, meaning being able to select which specific region a Serverless Function runs in, is only available for Pro Teams.

It seems as if this wasn't clear from the UI. Would you agree? It sounds like you've assumed that it's the entire Serverless Function feature that would not be available.
Starling[1] and Monzo[2] have their own APIs accessible to end users which are not Open Banking[3]. Monzo has a separate set of OB APIs and AFAIK Starling doesn't have an OB API as only the big, high-street UK banks (HSBC, Barclays, RBS, Santander, Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Bank, Danske, Lloyds, Nationwide) were forced to implement the OB spec.

Smart Contract for Elrond and Arwen
Oh don't worry it wasn't just one question but the whole interview. One I remember was how would I explain [insert random algorithm] to a board of decision makers, I made it sound like I was explaining a 100 year old how to turn on a computer.

I had no interest in ever "explaining" stuff to non-technical people at that time, all I cared about was the code. So I also trolled one of the guys interviewing me since I happened to be stuck with his legacy "code", which made me judge him and take him with absolutely no seriousness: he was one of those "cfa" people who learnt how to "code" a line of VBA and think they're Linus.

I also remember the face of the HR person who was like wtf the whole time and politely told me they had "chosen" another person for the job, I laughed inside and politely answered that I understood.

I recommend against this behaviour to past me anyways ;)
I mostly agree in principle, but I think this quote illustrates the downside of this approach if applied all the time:

> Oftentimes they will either have to slow down and learn this and that, by reading some stuff online and internally asking questions. That is a slowdown and it often generates a lot of interruptions and delays for everyone.

Having to solve a problem that you're not _initially_ equipped to solve is often how you _become_ equipped to solve similar problems in the future.
Whoever that asshole was, he's received sooo much undeserved praise. There is pretty much nothing good about sliced bread.
Yes. When task entry is a chore, and requires detailed determination of priority (and other fields), it's a deterrent. The Eisenhower Quadrants are a way to toss a new task entry into the right box without pausing for headscratching.

Do you live in Germany? Here in Norway credit cards are quite common for various reasons (safer to use online, pay later, bonus points).
Maybe smart watches are not super common in general. Actually, even wristwatches are rare to see. But, among those that do wear smart watches, it's often the Apple products IME.

iPads are doing exceptionally well, I'm surprised you are unaware. They're replacing laptops for a lot of users, especially those that did not grow up around PCs. It's just that you won't often see them in public.
> I have seen similar on Windows.

Sure, but Windows is supported, so instead of going to a forum and being unhelpfully told to try a different distro, you can take up your issue with the developer and they're much more likely to pay attention. Granted, some of them still have shitty support, but you're a lot less likely to be dismissed out of hand.

Maybe I underestimate how difficult some distros make it to have some semblance of control, but my model of Linux is that distros are nothing more than bundles of packages as a starting point from which you can add or remove whatever you want.

So I asked why it matters if its 'pop_OS' or not since if that happens to bundle some driver, or Steam, or whatever, I assume I can continue not using 'pop_OS' and still install whatever it is if I want?

It just seems like an irrelevant detail, (and potentially not even a valid one? the more you do subsequently the less it 'is' that distro) outside of saying 'everything worked out of the box, didn't have to install a thing', which may or may not have been true, but wasn't what was claimed.
I actually agree, using a nice GUI to handle your merges is a godsend. If you know how to use it properly, and still know how to do more advanced operations as well.

Software industry is also paying much more that most other industries. Maybe it's special in some way?
I switched a while back to Linux and like my setup much better than what I can do on windows but I think a lot of the "windows is slow" stuff is overblown. I temporarily had windows installed the other day and it was just fine in terms of being "snappy".
You should be able to work around this yourself using a pulseaudio null sink and some loopbacks. You send the game audio to the sink, and loop the audio from the sink back to your main output device. I've done this in the past for OBS, but you should be able to add your microphone input as well using another set of sinks and loopbacks I think.
Using a debit card online is not wise. If there is an issue you could end up with an empty bank account temporarily. Much better to be able to deal with such issues when you get an invoice at the end of the month.

Pop OS power management is great. If you’re on compatible hardware it’s fantastic.
Windows 98 was when they turned the whole file explorer into some kind of pseudo webview integrated with IE.

This was also when they were terrified of Java web applets making Windows as a platform obsolete so they were busy embrace and extending that (and pushing ActiveX in order to turn the web Windows proprietary).

So I think it very much sounds like the correct context.
I am commenting and contrasting on Lobbying activities and their lack regulation in Europe and particularity in the European Union.

There was a hilarious rant about a FAANG hiring question that was something like: "Write an algorithm for detecting if a linked list has any loops in it, in linear time, using a constant amount of memory."

Apparently the correct answer is to use "Robert W. Floyd's tortoise and hare algorithm", which is trivial to explain and code.

The catch?

It took a decade of computer science research between the original statement of the problem and Floyd discovering the solution.

So... no worries, you have an hour, a marker, and a whiteboard. Your time starts: now.
