Maybe my response was emotional, but if everyone is going to pile on and down vote, it would be nice to at least get an explanation -- even if it's just an emotional disagreement it's still great and appreciated.

I couldn't care less about my karma, it just feels like I am getting punished simply for expressing my point of view here in a way that's not any more or less emotional than the GP.
I also wish companies would put justice above profits, but this is so far removed from our current reality it's hard to imagine.
A couple of corrections from my perspective (Used Windows since 3.1 in 1995, worked and supported others on Windows until 2012, switched to Linux around 2006 after having used it on and off since 2001):

> There were too many projects with none focusing on really making a better gui than mac/windows.

Many of us have preferred Linux desktops for a decade or two.

Calling a desktop gui better when it lacks the basics like multiple virtual desktops is quite a stretch IMO. Same goes for not being able to update your kernel without getting a brand new desktop environment either you want it or not. Same goes for not being able to customize CMD-tab on Mac.

> A lack of bread and butter 1st class "business" apps

so far so good until this:

> OpenOffice is fine, IF you are ok with the janky ui and no one knowing how it works.

In fact for many years OpenOffice, now Libre Office has been less alien to large segments of the user base.

For a number of things it has also been significantly better at times: I remember very well having to import a certain report patched together by four others to use an actually working styling system.

> lack of open source exchange type mail/cal/etc server and outlook-like client)

This was a good point for a long time. I can work around it by using my iPad for this these days.

> Until recently, installing on laptops was an absolute crap shoot.

Having Linux work better on laptops than Windows is the default state for most laptops and have been for a decase. Last big issue was a screen resolution problem solved by installing the 915 driver using synapse on nc6230 or something back in 2006.

Getting a Windows machine to stop lagging unpredictably though, that is job best left for a specialist. Some come working out of the box, but those are the exception.

(Although it should be noted that I hate lagging as much as designers hate misalignment.)

Not _those_ parts. We're talking ceramic cased hardened ICs with gold plated leads and stuff like that (see https://habr.com/ru/post/156049/). Stuff that goes into space and to nuclear power stations in particular is the very highest grade available, no expense spared. You may still find it at flea markets from time to time (surplus or desoldered), but you're unlikely to find it in quantity. Russia does not build its weapons and space tech from "flea market" grade parts. It never did. It's one of the very few areas of the economy that haven't completely fallen apart during the 90s, long delays in payroll notwithstanding.
haha, that's awesome! I think by the time I realized you could request free CDs, most of the distros (I can't even remember which) started limiting it to just a couple at a time. Still super cool though!
I don't know the authors reason but I've personally always avoided refinements after first reading about their performance hit for JRuby code[0].

I read somewhere recently that even for MRI ruby you can take a 40% hit when using refinements (but please take that with a big pinch of salt as I can't find the source right now).

Yes of course, but that is surely still forbidden. The change is about communication outside the app.
Lots of things, but almost always the same concept: Divisions of space. Not just "I'll remember to put that there," but making a place to put it. No "piles" allowed - a tray, binder, folder, bag or bin for everything, labels optional. Making spaces for different kinds of work, duplicating your workstation if necessary. "This is the type of place where I do X" is a powerful behavior shaping tool. This can also take the form of reconfiguring the same space in slightly different ways.

The computer can make a mess of organization simply because it's too easy to hide away everything and the system will oftentimes impose the method on you. Notes and documentation can help. Make a habit of daily self-talk, a "standup meeting for one" when you have a break. The exercise of speaking it aloud jogs the memory and creates a form of engagement that isn't had by thinking it or writing it. If done habitually you won't have to physically record much, because your priorities will remain stable day by day.
Weird, I built hundreds of PCs all through that decades, from 286s upwards, and I do not remember this ever being a problem. I would just check the PCB on the bottom of the drive to see what the jumper configuration on any given unit was, and it was fine. Built/maintained a lot of Compaqs, IBM, some Dell, and a lot of builds from parts.

The available space for building stuff in municipal Stockholm is what it is, so some part of the supply problem would still be there without rent control, I would assume.

Removing rent control would convert the decades-long wait list into a decades-long struggle to make enough money to afford rent, would it not?

Why was this downvoted? With the exception of "HILARIOUSLY wrong.", I agree wholeheartedly. I also didn't like the comment about the "midwest". Is Chicago not a Global Alpha city? It has one of the biggest options and futures exchanges in the world and plenty of big banks/insurance/finance companies. And Mayo Clinic is one of largest and most sophisticated hospital systems in the world. Probably has a ginormous IT budget. But, hey, it's the midwest, right?

Yes.

The third-party tool is as stymied by the OS / video driver's API for screen capture as the first-party tool.

Foss projects do need to attract more ux designers though. I was telling a friend the other day about how amazing blender is… but had to admit it was so unintuitive/un-discoverable that you can’t really use the program without going through fairly specific tutorials for what you are trying to do
> hardware support alone, while better, still isn't up to what you get with the big two.

I recently bought a Huion tablet only after checking that it works on Linux.

Install on Linux couldn't be easier: plug the thing and ready to work, pressure detection and all.

I did the same on Windows. It got detected, Windows told me that it was downloading the drivers, and after 10 seconds it worked... kind of. Any trace waited like 1 second to start drawing, and long pressure was a secondary click. What!? How can anybody draw with this? Pressure didn't work, it just worked as the mouse. Time to search: disable something called "windows ink", but directly in the register so it doesn't re-enable on boot. Ok, the secondary button issue gone, but the delayed draw still there. Maybe some stabilizer? Disable Krita stabilizer... Nope. Go to Huion web page, download an app to configure the pen: windows ink still enabled some how, the app allows you to disable it for real. Pressure still unseen. More tweaks on the app... Yes, finally, after two hours the tablet behaves just like in Linux after two seconds, and I only have to keep open a third party app that is probably calling home, just to avoid Windows to mess things up again.

Yes, hardware is a breeze in Windows, except when it isn't.
Lol, Australia's internet filter is just a DNS block. It couldn't really be any less rigorous. Not that I'm complaining...
Agreed.

The main COVID-19 mutations of concern right now are happening in other countries where the vaccine is not widely available yet. The Delta variant was first seen in India, the Beta variant was first seen in South Africa, and the Gamma variant was first seen in Brazil.

We need to make sure the entire world is vaccinated to stop these mutations from coming out of the woodwork.

(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variants_of_SARS-CoV-2 for sources and discussion)
To be honest, you'll most likely encounter corruption if you intend to operate a business, especially if said business has anything to do with any level of government. As an ordinary resident you might have to deal with bureaucracy, but that's not different than in any other European country. I might have a rosy picture of the state of things, since I only come here on vacations and to visit family, but I was born and raised here and I think I can see significant improvements on this front.
I meant you probably have to use it on mobile to get the full experience as intended by the developer, and you very well knew I meant that. You just chose to be pedantic to someone on the internet, congrats. I hope it improves your life.
Brazil is currently very doable as 1k USD is about 5k BRL (Brazilian reais) which more than the living wage (calculated by a trade union group) and is good salary for a starting engineer or lawyer without experience.

You will probably not be able to live in luxury areas but will be pretty doable even in large cities.

Note that living even living in a large city things will be difficult without speaking Portuguese, but you can order pretty much anything to be delivered to your house so will be able to use Google Translate without relying on its speech related functionalities.

You seem to be an American, so you will almost certainly require a visa before you can come here but I think it will be easy.

A few recommendations:

* Get a CPF number (SSN equivalente) as soon as you can, ideally even before arriving in the country. I think you can apply online and show the original documents at the embassy. (Seriously, almost anything e-commerce related will ask for your CPF but it is almost always optional in regular physical shops)
* Get an RNE card as soon as you can. This way you can leave your passport safely at home.
* Get a local phone number with mobile internet and install Whatsapp (almost anyone here uses it)
* If you stay in Brazil for around a year you may owe taxes here. The good news is that the filing is electronic the bad is that it is still confusing.

In 1990, the company where I worked bought some IBM PC/AT compatibles with 80386DX @ 25 MHz and a pair of 150 Mbyte Maxtor ESDI HDDs.

At that time, having 300 Mbyte of HDDs in your PC was HUGE compared to more typical PCs, which had just a 30 Mbyte MFM HDD, usually from Seagate.

That was the only time when I have used ESDI drives, but those were great for that time.

When I left that company, six years later, all the ESDI drives from the 20 or so PCs bought in 1990 were still in use, without any failure.
Yup, exactly. You can imagine that a lot of collision code uses tan for example.
Sure, but are you likely to have users want to A/B test traffic light configurations there? My suggestion was very specific to the application in question.
a) painting people with negative opinions about something in society as "hating their country" to invalidate their opinion is a bad trope, and one one is in terrible company with when using it. (e.g. see use of it against people opposing involvement in wars, and it gets worse from there)

b) strict lockdowns are invasions on freedoms, quite obviously, because they suspend rights you have. They do so for a reason, and society can very well decide "this is a legitimate restriction on freedoms" (hopefully guarded by legislative and judicial process), as it has in much of the world to varying degrees, but that is not the same as pretending it's not a restriction.

But our city’s recently been building segregated lanes on the main central routes and it’s great to see little kids riding in them where before it’s was almost all folks in Lycra - point being it’s made cycling more accessible to people who can’t contend with full traffic.
Honestly, I knew that it wasn’t meant at me. But I am DEEPLY frustrated at the lack of power I have in these situations.

It also doesn’t illustrate the real scale of space required to operate each vehicle. A car needs several car-lengths of space between them. Bikes can be operated more closely together. At speed all of these vehicles scale up to more space differently.
A nice fat discount?

You could knock 50% off and the units would still be multimillion condos.

Unit #502 is asking $3.8 million in 2016. It is San Francisco's most expensive one bedroom home. 27E is $2.3 million. Unit 34# is $2.59 million. The penthouse asking price was $37.5 million.

So, Mr Moneybags, you can just pull out your credit card and buy the $37.5 million penthouse at a 50% discount for a total of $18 million? Must be nice to be you.

There are some good suggestions here.

But one thing I’m not seeing is any mention of the fact that asking someone else to stop doing something that you know to be stupid but they think works wonders for them, well that’s a path that is fraught with much pain, wailing, gnashing of teeth, and frequently little success.

So, before doing anything else, I would encourage you to take a long hard look at your side of the equation, since that’s all you can really control.

How much pain is this really causing you?

How much potential damage are they likely to do when their Hindenburg does finally run aground?

How far are you willing to go to try to help them do their job better?

At some point, you’ve got to decide to fish or cut bait. Decide to either go somewhere else, or just live with it — while protecting yourself as much as you can.

Figure out where that point is first.

Periodically keep coming back to this question and make sure that point is still in the same place, or how it has moved if it has done so.
We have some of that in my city, alongside a big freeway (see [1]) and yes, it’s ridiculously expensive. It is great though, and one of the only options given the number of very busy intersections this popular route crosses. But in the inner city, it wouldn’t make any sense.

Inside the CBD, they’ve been taking out on-street parking to put in separated bike lanes, and that‘s just as good. They completely removed car traffic from a bridge in the middle of the city also to add an extra bus land and a bike lane, and while some drivers were annoyed, it used to drop you in a extremely congested bit of the city so wasn’t very convenient in the car anyway.

(1) This is not a problem.

(2) Wrong. Just by you saying "Open Office" means that you are out of touch. You are stuck back in 2010. There is no pathos here. If you have not gotten the memo that Open Office is dead and the project that took over and continued improving is called Libre Office, then it is a sign you are out of touch. Libre Office is not janky, and hundreds of thousands of users beg to differ.

(3) There are several. Thunderbird and Evolution. However you always have your outlook.com for work email.

(4) Wrong. Recently? Define recently. The last 10 years has been a joyride.

(5) Wrong. Krita for photoshop workloads is amazing. Applications are thriving.
It's still super important for clientside prediction. If the client and server are getting different math results that's a desync. Now that can matter not at all or a lot depending on the game, but regardless it's still fundamental.
Feel free to use IntelliJ and Jetbrains tools generally like I do and Sublime Text (like I did) and fell free to support a number of the open source packages you like best :-)

I prefer to keep it mostly free as that was how I could afford it back in the days but there's nothing wrong with using pid products you like.

I also try to give back a bit extra now that I can afford it.

QSBS allows way more than $2M/year of tax deduction.

- 10M cap applies to per entity per year per transaction. so if 10 of my investments every year have gain of $10M each - I pay exactly ZERO DOLLARS in state and federal taxes on this $100 million income every year.

- On top of it, If I make more than $10 million in a year on one transaction - there are ways to split this gain over multiple years (via deferred transactions) or over multiple entities (via trusts and LLCs)

I know on good authority that most GPs in venture funds pay very little capital gains tax due to QSBS “loophole”.

>It’s important to look at and account for the number of deaths directly attributed to COVID, isn’t it?

Some people don't trust that data. I've heard people tell me that when COVID started the hospitals started marking everyone who died as having COVID regardless of what the real cause was.

>Shared hundreds of times on Facebook, posts claim: “Every time a hospital admits, discharges, or loses a patient to Covid-19, they are compensated 15% more according to the CARES ACT, SEC 4409”. The posts also say that New York City hospitals are “inflating all of their #coronavirus numbers” to take advantage of this section of the act.
