I am a bit sad that the release notes say nothing about encryption.

PGP support was (for me) the big thing about thunderbird 78. It was a bit rough around the edges (in terms of UI and extension support) but I expected it to improve with subsequent releases. Now it sounds like they did not iterate on encryption at all (apart from fixing a few bugs).

(This is from reading the release notes. I did not yet have time to test the new version.)

Shameless plug: I proposed a patch that would bring the compose UI much closer enigmail: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1669788
Ah yes, that phase of a previously explosive growth type company that now suffers from stalled growth where they start investing in fighting some power users they might lose for good.

Many such cases! Sad!
Good idea. Please consider generating websites from the courses to allow people to "white label" this. Alternatively, offer iframes or an api - a kind of headless CMS. This would allow course creators to feel comfortable not being so locked in.
I wish it would be made transparent how Netflix acquired the licence and made that contract transparent. I would evade media with unreasonable enforcement that doesn't live up to the modern world of media anyway.
Work from the office but closed off in a meeting room/private office and never talk to anyone in person? Or work remotely but you have to do it from a noisy coffee shop and the company provides a card to buy snacks?
They should have done the same with Firefox Mobile... still only about 12 addons available... almost a year after release. I still use Fennec for this reason.

Also - they’ve publically states the new app was built using technologies none of their employees have used before so I don’t expect them to build an electron app better than anyone else.
I remember reading that the ideal vaccine location for respiratory illness would be a nasal and lung aerosol so there would be a strong local immune response making it harder for any future infections to replicate effectively. Don’t know if that is still being looked at.
Why didn't Apple do this without announcing it?

The answer is Apple risks a whistleblower on their hands if they do it secretly, regardless of the targeted country. Remember Google's project Dragonfly?

Plus, software needs to be maintained. I don't see how they could do that in perpetuity without a major risk to their valuation. So all moves do need to be made public while the software is created in countries that have a free press.
It would have been cool if they'd release the 3d model, and then it could be put in some sort of an interactive demo.

I know what you mean, but we can hope it's temporary. Remote work requires some adjustment in work culture.

I just thought there's another interesting upside for workers: you are now more flexible in changing jobs since obviously you are no longer tied to the location. So eventually you might find an employer who is more WFH friendly and manages the communication better. And that should put pressure on your existing employer too!
How to improve your recruiting process
I'm not sure about individual member states, but there was this story in Germany the other day:

€10M fine for keeping employees under video surveillance for no good reason.

This is an example showing that there are limits to employee surveillance on-site.

Do I? Can you elaborate? Do you notice a difference between a company (potentially) doing this behind closed doors and as quietly as possible and doing this in a public official way?

What if I tell you I don't use any of the operating systems you listed? Does your answer change?

I have a question: Would you welcome such a move? Do you believe that taking things a bit further would be nice because "we might catch a few criminals"?
Let's be clear: it sucks, and at least it used to happen.

But it sucks precisely because there's no other platform that gives the neurodivergent crowd a voice the way TikTok does.

This is why I'm talking about it! If the engineers in the West don't understand the value of TikTok, we'll never get a homegrown alternative.

Think about TikTok as an apartment complex with an awful landlord that sometimes kicks disabled people out...

...while still remaining the only accessible housing for disabled people in town.

Everyone here is saying that obviously it's going to turn into a slum, look how it mistreats disabled people!

And I say, please come and see for yourself how this place is different from others if you want us to move, because this goddamn slum at least has wheelchair ramps, and wherever y'all are living does not.
Competitive games have a variety of ways for players to express their skills. I'm not going to comment on whether or not it's good design, but it is clearly the intended design and that's the important differentiating factor. Competitive games are always going to benefit some players who are good at some specific aspects of them inherently by their nature.
no you are an edge case the rest of the world ie non tech users prefer the way google understands the queries and answers them.
If I were the "hacker" I would return $590M and hope nobody notices the "rounding error".
Your situation and the OP's are different... it sounds kind of awful what you describe, a bit like how renting a house and giving a major slice of your income to the landlord tends to make it you're never going to be able to buy a house.

It sounds like you need a different kind of job to have a way forward.
This is a really good take.

I would be very interested in seeing how a multi-million user AR equivalent to VRChat would play out. Layers of it could be extremely compelling or extremely ugly, like different rooms in VRChat are. Gibson, Vinge, and Stross have all given their takes on what this would look like too, but I expect the reality will be stranger than the fiction.
>Not knowing how isn't proof it can't be done.

Human interaction skills falls into the category of things that knowledge doesn't even remotely guarantee outcome.

You can teach a group of socially awkward and introvert people an entire 4 years course of how to be a charismatic socialite and most of them still won't become one.

And lots of things are still happening in the exact same way it has happened for thousands of years. Technology can very often amplify human instincts, but it will very rarely undo them.

How? Genuinely want to know
It certainly looks like companies are desperate to hire qualified people and the dev job market is pretty hot right now. That should certainly give devs some leverage.

I also had that idea in my teens. Some time later it occurred to me that it's already mainstream, in a way: that's what inflation is doing, and that's why currencies are usually managed to have a low but nonzero rate of inflation.
I think there is an element of truth in that, especially on the Microsoft side.

I did exactly that. I work at Microsoft now, but two years before I joined I went through the same process but kept Dropbox for many years solely for Linux support. Then they botched that, so I moved my Linux/Mac working trees into SyncThing (since I only need local sync anyway).
So why wouldn't that same whisteblower complain if Apple expands their CSAM detection system to other use cases ?

And iOS is a modular operating system. They could easily swap out the Photos.framework for different state actors and support that in perpetuity. They were already doing this when cross-building for ARM/x86.
Of course it is a policy choice. It is a policy choice by how benefits and costs are distributed (if you are poor you have to give away a bigger share of your money than if you are rich) and it is a policy choice how you deal with poverty once it is there (not housing homeless people, robbing them of fundamental rights, not shaping you society in a way that allows poor people to participate in meaningful ways).

This is all a choice. There are nation that are more social where the wealthy are more willing to help those who fell out of luck and getting poor there is harder and has less harsh consequences. There are nations that are more asocial (or even antisocial) and getting poor there might be a death sentence that only few can escape from. Usually their idea is that being poor needs to be harsh so people "don't get lazy" — a theory that needs a citation at least.

This doesn't change the fact that using death to solve inequality is like using a nuclear bomb to heat your dinner. We ought to find a better solution and solve it independently.

I do not understand your pessimism. Historically speaking, humanity tends to solve the problems it encounters. A look over the past few centuries alone reveals this. We'll solve this problem too.
Master/Slave nomenclature is considered "problematic language" (because it harks back to slavery), and thus often replaced with more PC language these days. My organization had a whole "fix this nomenclature throughout the whole codebase" week (things like "black-/whitelist, master/slave, ....)

Software in space gets upgraded; the base stations the satellites communicate with can be compromised; you have to trust that the builders didn't include any backdoors or unexpected behavior (deliberately or accidentally).

I think language matters, and de-normalizing language with a root in slavery is a good idea.
If you are not compiling your operating system, every library and every application from scratch then you are blindly trusting third parties.

And if you are assuming Apple can't be trusted when they say they won't expand this to non-CSAM use cases then not sure why you would then trust Microsoft, Ubuntu etc.
> vaccinated are more likely to transmit it. Right?

The vaccinated are also less likely to have it in the first place, so no, not right.

There are "similar viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients" _who have symptoms_ - that's a huge selection bias right there. You can still assume that there are very different rates at which vaccinated and unvaccinated are prone to getting infected in the first place, then developing symptoms.

This conclusion is also wrong: "My vaccine doesn’t protect you and vice versa." - yet more simplistic, all or nothing, black or white thinking. Delta means that my vaccination doesn't protect you _as much as it did_ but it is incorrect to leap to "it doesn't protect you at all"

It's clear that at present, vaccination alone is not the answer, but it would be very wrong to disparage vaccination, e.g. to say that "vaccination is not the answer" - vaccination is part of the answer, likely the largest part.
Fortunately that’s not how it works. You would have to have a whole collection of known and identified CSAM to be classified as anything at all with the system Apple has announced.

> Here's why people care: It surprised a lot of people how casually these 3 famous intelligent creative people were talking about making their main character an abusive creep. Except...they didn't think it would make him an abusive creep.

Lucas doesn't. Both Kasdan and Spielberg seem to push back (lightly, but ina collaborative creative environment, that's what you do if possible, and ultimately it didn't make it in) with Lucas’ suggested age (and Lucas keeps pushing the really young age).

Spielberg also pushes making her explicitly the instigator, perhaps also as a way of mitigating the “abusive creep” impression.

> Does that say something about how things have changed in the last 40 years?

Does it? I mean, without a broad sample of similar writers rooms forty years ago and today, I don't think we know: (1) that that kind of idea got tossed around and cut more than than today, or (2) that when it came up, the discussion was much different then than today.

Saying it says something about a change requires extrapolating a lot about 40 years ago from one data point, and then extrapolating as much about today from no equivalent data points. Most likely, its just spinning the story of this discussion into a preconceived narrative of what the difference is, rather than really reasoning from it at all.

Specialization in cooling/coolant related industries. With mad global warming that is just getting started, we are bound to need efficiencies in those industries and those who have the know-how will be in high demand. Also, I'm not aware of any engineer in those industries reading about a new framework every six months and having to do agile stand-ups.
> So why wouldn't that same whisteblower complain if Apple expands their CSAM detection system to other use cases ?

I assume Apple could make it very difficult, if not impossible, to detect what they're searching for when they are using hashes created and transmitted by all their own hardware and software.

But, even if they did publish the hashes and those were somehow verified in free-press countries by a trusted 3rd party, that does nothing for countries with no free press. Such places would have no knowledge of what's being searched for, and that's the whole point. I won't support an American company that helps oppressive countries stymie what little freedom their people have left to connect via the internet. To the extent they are successful, the results of those tools will eventually be aimed at us, either via uninformed people or by using the tools themselves on us.

> And iOS is a modular operating system. They could easily swap out the Photos.framework for different state actors and support that in perpetuity. They were already doing this when cross-building for ARM/x86.

Sure. And I expect if there were something nefarious there working on behalf of foreign governments then we would eventually hear about it, one way or another. It's a terrible idea that would be abused, and humans are natural pattern recognizers.
This sounds like a desperate attempt to cope with death. We can find better ways to encourage change than literally dying.

If people lived indefinitely but society was a bit stagnant, and you pressed a button to kill 100M random people a year to "encourage change", you'd be regarded as insane, and rightfully so.

Death is not the solution to our problems, just like throwing your computer in the trash isn't a solution to a crashing program.

> I saw more sparks flying in one afternoon of social event than 3 months of planned video calls.

I've seen more sparks fly from random discussions on Slack then I've ever seen in person. The ability to toss out random thoughts/idea at any time, and have others discuss/expand on them at their leisure is... powerful.

Different modes of communication have different tradeoffs. There's nothing magical about in-person communication.
Projector: Run JetBrains IDEs and Swing apps remotely over the network
The primary issue with having two separate teams for the same platform was not money, it was time. To be clear: we wanted to build a native app in parallel with our cross-platform Electron solution, and we had the developers to do it. But unfortunately, having an additional team that needed to implement the UI for every single new feature was a significant slow-down, and we collectively realized that we could not meet our deadlines nor maintain this long term.

I'm sorry for not being more clear earlier as to why we couldn't support two separate teams for the same platform. Hopefully this clears up any confusion.
>then companies will lower comp for those jobs and start giving them less sexy/boring/keep the lights on type of work

I was under the impression that comps have the practice of giving work to people that might produce good results with that kind of work, and trust me, people who might produce good results will want the freedom WFH makes possible.

But on the other hand, people who have to depend on politics and ass kissing to keep their job and get promoted, will absolutely want to be around and near managers as much as possible, so that they can maximise their ass kissing, so your A-team, will soon end up exclusively with that kind..
I asked about this specifically in Germany and they told me that they do not aspirate any more.

According to the German vaccine advisory body, it’s done to avoid patient discomfort.

This was originally discussed in Denmark in relation to the AZ vaccine, where they mandated aspiration. In the end it didn’t matter, as they forbade AZ completely (and deservedly)

> when they fix other people's bugs, their commits are smaller and more tightly focused.

While this may be true of junior engineers or people working on a project that they don't actually put into production, I feel it can't be true of most people working a devops roll on a production system.

I only worked several years in devops on a small production system with a few hundred users but I learned very quickly to respect others' work and the thought they had put into their areas and to be very wary of "fixing" anything more than the described bug.

Honestly, not exaggerating, it makes my stomach churn a bit. Regressions are very real and if you don't have decent test coverage with actual integration or functional tests, you are writing regressions and you just don't know it.
That sounds very much like the "extend" part of the process.

> They believe that the best, most innovative type of work are the results of organic discussions and unscheduled, unplanned, casual human interactions.

I’d wager that a vast majority of programming being done is internal LOB CRUD apps. Sure, management will gush over how “innovative” those CRUD apps are, but most programming jobs is just finding out where data resides, where it’s going and what Bootstrap template to show it in. No need for creative ballpit meetings for that.
That's when you break out PySelenium (if you want to stick with python). Many languages work with selenium drivers, I don't think there's much point in debating which language is best for scraping. Probably one that supports threads, it depends on the scale of course and how much performance you want.
Maybe Google has inadequate communication channels and badly set-up meetings, but that doesn't mean that physical meetings are somehow ultimately required for high quality software development work. It just means that the their processes are not good enough, so people work around them.
>>You do not have to conclusively tie individual events to global warming. The point here is, that those news come in more and more often.
