The taskbar for me is the thing which makes Windows 11 completely ruinous:

1. No drag and drop support, so you need to drag + alt-tab in order to find the right window to dnd into.

2. Windows in the same program always collapse into the same item, with no option to have them split out. To find the one you want, you have to use the flyout previews, which do not have titles. Clicking the taskbar button itself nondeterministically chooses which window to open.

3. No text on the taskbar. Got two programs with similar icons? Tough.

4. The Start button is now completely useless once the crapware is removed. Clicking into the start menu's search bar actually switches you to a different, more useful menu (the search menu). There is no way to make the search menu the default.

5. The default menu size is enormous, taking up about 8% of screen retail for the sake of 5 or 6 buttons. Had to resort to registry hacks to get it down to a usable scale.

Those are just a few of the things that I stumble over daily, after about 6 weeks of using Windows 11. Windows 11 is NOT ready for general release and they seem to be actively punishing power users by removing the features they need in favour of "simplifying" the surface-level.
The Con Artist Matrix
Well, when one does have skin in the game, it is easy to believe (and want to convince).
I would argue that there is something very special about Bitcoin. https://www.blockchain.com/charts/hash-rate

The problem is that everyone is always looking for the next get rich quick scheme. Bitcoin was never this, it is a not get poor slowly scheme.
So they’ve killed the wirecutter. What’s the new alternative?
Sure, but that doesn't make standardization useless so people stop reinventing this same wheel over and over again for very basic needs.
I left this comment on a previous thread. I'm hoping this thread gains traction.

I like the challenge and I'm definitely interested in learning new stuff. Who is the target audience? Will this be helpful for existing software developers who don't normally work neck deep in cloud?

Does anyone have any link on salary comparison between cloud engineers (or posns working on cloud) vs the regular SWEs (software engineers) ?
Within science, many ideas are "controversial" because they're demonstrably wrong. Such ideas should not be "published" in a "journal" in some misguided attempt to give them the exposure they're justifiably denied everywhere else, that's not how science works. (example off the top of my head: chiropractics and other psuedoscientific nonsense)

Other ideas are "controversial" because there isn't enough evidence to support them, and there may never be. (example off the top of my head: neanderthals and their capacity for abstract thought, art and language) A journal for arguing about such ideas is OK I guess but kind of pointless because it's essentially just people's opinion about things that cannot be proven, and not really science.

Yet other are "controversial" despite having solid evidence because of, for lack of a better term, politics within the field, or politics in general. To me, these ideas would be the only ones worthwhile having a journal for, and such a journal would have to very very carefully select only articles that fit this category.

Instead, the first issue of this "journal" is full of garbage "articles" that are basically just people's opinions on identity politics, creationism etc? Just, what?
That is not the point he was making. It's about wanting to get the licenses procured but the process being unreasonably laborious so people just don't bother. The problem isn't cost, it's the mess of corporate wastelands.
Whose Authority?
The reason EBITDA became popular is because private equity firms had low cost of borrowing (e.g., they would manipulate I expense) and were good at financial engineering such that tax rates could easily become 0 in the short term. D and A are excluded because they’re not cash.

Then, people just sort of adopted EBITDA as shorthand for “FCF from operations” and then companies like Allbirds took advantage of that to do whatever they want with it.
> If I took a photo of an idable, signed and noterized document stating that "the owner of X NFT is the owner of Y real item," then made that photo into an NFT, that would be embedding proof.

First of all, you're essentially talking about DRM. The signed and notarized contract is what determines ownership, not the NFT. It's centralized in (and can be modified by) the legal system.

For example, that contract could be nullified or invalidated by a court opinion, and the NFT becomes meaningless. It's just a digital document with a paper trail.

Think of it like this: does a Google Photo become more useful if A) it can only be on one computer at a time, and B) I have a log of every computer it's ever been on?

I could also copy the embedded digital asset and put it into a different NFT. Then there would be two NFTs with the exact same "proof" in them. Which is the real one? The document can't specify which NFT it applies to because the NFT is minted after the document is signed.
If it helps, v3.8 is guaranteed to be okay without PAE (go with trinity, based on KDE 3.5 as a DM, rather than plasma) -- from their release notes:

>Q4OS Centaurus is based on Debian Buster 10 and Plasma 5.14, optionally Trinity 14.0.6, desktop environment, and it's available for 64bit and 32bit/i686pae computers, as well as for older i386 systems without PAE extension. We are working hard to bring it for ARM devices too.
My take personally is that the core Spring Framework is first rate but all the other modules associated with it ("Spring Data", "Spring Cloud", ...) are lackluster in quality -- most of them add some mistakes and leave out some features I think are critical. Nothing stops you from using Spring to make the objects your app needs directly, so that's what I do.

I think many shops use Google Guice now. Spring fits my thinking better (I think static Java that is checked into version control plus a dynamic XML configuration file that is not is a great combo) but "when in Rome do as the Romans do" is the way of the world. I've learned how to get the results I need from Guice.

Unless there is some major showstopper (like the system is outright broken, a terrible mismatch for the domain, drives you crazy all the time when you understand the tools and the domain completely) I would always recommend going with the team on that kind of structural thing.
I’ve seen companies burn half a million in developer time to save 10k or less several times.

Getting rich is the best way to become rich. Elon musk as done that.

Here is how he has done it :

- Create a company

- Raise money

- Sell a product

- Sell the company

You should do the same !

But others have done it other ways. Bill gates for example etc

Sorry but what the point of these kind of threads ?
You're only thinking about the NFL.

High school and youth players are neither paid nor are they old enough to consent.

Collegiate players are old enough to consent, but aren't paid (excluding tuition/room/board).

Regardless of the sums of money, do we as a society, really want to allow people to allow themselves to become brain damaged in exchange for money? If not, we need to decide where we draw the line.
> The problem with wanting "controversy" in "hard" sciences is that if there's a "controversial" theory of physics or biology, that's really just another way of saying "there's not convincing evidence in favor of it, and it doesn't provide a productive framework for future research". If it's backed up by evidence, if it's a useful way of thinking that leads to lots of interesting new research, it's not going to be particularly controversial.

This is a credulous view of the hard sciences, which many scientists and almost all people who study the philosophy or sociology of science would disagree with. Certainly Kuhn would disagree fundamentally.

Many ideas which are uncontroversial within their respective scientific fields today were, in fact, very controversial in decades or centuries past: relativity, quantum physics, plate tectonics, evolution, heliocentrism, ...
I'd be surprised if anybody would be able to do the color test.

At the same time: even if people can't tune a piano they can usually fairly reliably tell when one is out of tune.

But more impressive than absolute pitch to me is to be able to identify a four-note chord at once.
Theres short-term growth and long-term growth.

I think by good regulation you can get better long-term growth.

But that's just speculation. I don't know what the solution is.

Human nature corrupts every system, even systems that start out great.

So what you need ultimately is a system which can easily be shrugged off when it becomes corrupt.

With votes or dollars instead of bullets and blood.

Education maybe? It takes educated/ aware people to overcome tribalism and see that bettering societiy as a whole also betters them.
So true. I'd be curious about developing modern web standards without JavaScript. I'm aware of gopher/gemini but somehow i like the semantic aspects of the web.
you can learn relative pitch not absolute pitch. Absolute pitch is only possible before 3 years old or something like that.
Ah yes... that's probably why we won't see one then. The frontlight adds some space between the surface and the panel. That would probably be distracting for writing.
Even if we can reliably identify 12 unique divisions of spectral color, that's still very different from the 12 semitones in Western music, because the 12 spectral colors would span the entire range of human spectral color perception, whereas the 12 semitones repeat every octave, and humans can hear up to 10 octaves.
I don't recall which version of Emacs first had "go to definition", but it was well before the 90's.
Because the end result of a lot of workflows (eg k8s) is a buildable dockerfile, or built docker image for deployment.
I’d love to see more ultralight websites, not only for emergencies but because they focus on content.

Maybe that’s why I’ve been enjoying so much the Gemini space so much lately.
Climate tech can nudge the wealth distribution curve
> That’s a reasonable explanation, of course, but it contradicts the two points in this thread that caused me to ask those questions:

> 1. It was claimed that the the China policy is authoritarian, but the U.S. policy is not authoritarian, because the latter is a democratic government.

I think my above point offered a method to resolve this miscommunication by giving a more complete description of what is often meant by 'that policy is authoritarian'.

> 2. It was claimed that any reported approval of the Chinese government by the Chinese population is irrelevant, either because the report is fake or because the people are manipulated or “brainwashed.”

I think there is a similar miscommunication here that can be resolved, but I am not interested in delving into more topics currently.
If they can put them in US-compatible timezone, sure.

Apart from all the numbers. The other thing that actually matters is the quality itself. I'm definitely not locked in on the brand as the products are not great after you them for a while. i.e they don't age graciously and i see it as a major problem in the long run (no repeat customers).

> ZeroTier, Tailscale and such are OSS and have been independently security & crypto audited.

Both rely on their centralized coordinator servers which can mess with your routes (and thus your traffic) however they please.

ZeroTier has a published (but not OSS) coordinator, but their documentation pushes you towards their SaaS. Tailscale's coordinator is SaaS-only, unless something has changed very recently.
Certified lawyers/accountants have ethical compliance responsibilities. They should be doing meaningful review, not just "signing off." There are savings to be realized, but they are more limited than one might think. The difference here is that there are professional associations with both the ability to discipline people who don't follow the rules, and a deep interest in doing so.
If you mean the Docker client, Podman comes to mind. Honestly though, if you don't like Podman, I'd recommend Minikube.

Then again, if you know nothing of Kubernetes, I'd stick with Podman (which has limitations on anything but Linux AFAIK). You might create wrappers around runc [1] if you really wanted (wouldn't recommend) or containerd [2] (no personal experience on my part).

If you mean the Docker registry, there are a number of alternatives, like quay.io or MCR.

It's always a bit fraught to bring up the upsides of irrationality and potentially dangerous/destructive emotions and impulses. Bukowski didn't win a lot of popularity contests. I agree with what you've said here though.

We may be abstracting the conversation beyond the limits of what is appropriate in the workplace here, but I tend to think the workplace should and could be a more relaxed space if we were more patient with the negative emotions of others. At least for me, that starts with recognizing my own emotional states, and not always being afraid to experience them authentically.
but birds outrank ants.
Try using the "legacy" method, just to ensure you can get it working.

Using "vfs objects = ceph" causes Samba to load a custom VFS module that translates SMB1/2/3 requests -> Samba VFS -> cephfs calls. That's why the share sets "path = /" (as it's not a local path) and then redirects all filesystem access via vfs_ceph.
> it might be a good thing if web browsers in VR stay flat and can’t take over the space in front or behind them

IMO the preferred implementation would be for the <model> tag to be a window into a 3d space "behind" the browser that's only visible if you look through that window. Maybe a small area in front of the window would also be acceptable. You wouldn't want it taking over space outside its designated area though without either going "fullscreen" or getting some other form of permission.
I mean, classic Macs didn't exactly have turbo charged refresh anyways. Yes, things like scrolling chunks of text is probably faster on an actual first-gen Mac than an e-Ink screen, but they weren't really... turbo for graphics rendering.
What companies are offering $250k/year for engineers?
Exactly - I've always pointed out that developers for the Apple's ecosystem are being dumbasses. Why would you willingly pay Apple money annually (and then a percentage of your profit too) to develop on their platform when you actually add value to it!?

Platforms struggle and / or fail to be successful in the market when developers don't support them. (You just have to look at MS Windows Mobile, Samsung's Tizen OS, LG webOS, Jolla Sailfish OS etc. to realise this).

(I was one of these dumbass too once and bought a mac and other apple devices to create apps on Apple's platform before I realised that I was being a dumbass).
Well, there is this:

I've been fortunate enough to work at companies where engineers were trusted to make small purchasing decisions. It works well for a while, but eventually everyone accumulates a lot of random recurring charges and the company cracks down.

$21 is nothing for a one-time spend.

$21 per month per employee is now $252/year per employee, but now you also need someone managing all of these licenses and accounting. Every new employee or team change requires some juggling of licenses with associated turn-around times before that person can get started.

It's not bad when it's just a couple key pieces of software, but it doesn't take long before every engineer has some mix of 20 different subscription tools and platforms and licenses and you're on the phone with a different vendor every week doing the annual subscription renewal pricing negotiation dance. The sales people know how this works and would prefer to wear you down with endless conference calls until you get tired of negotiating and just pay the new, higher price they're asking.

Soon, all of those "cheap" tools have added up to $1000/month or more per employee with a couple people dedicated to managing these licenses and negotiating with vendors all of the time. And it's terrible.

When the tool isn't easily replaceable, you deal with it. I'm not sure I see that with Docker Desktop, though. When you get a new hire, do you tell them to submit a ticket with licensing and wait until they can get their Docker Desktop license? Or do you simply write some documentation about how to accomplish tasks without using Docker Desktop so you can remove another external dependency? Teams generally gravitate toward the latter.
There's no definable line that Apple crossed. It's a long, slow transition.
As for the "Why". Speaking as a guy who meditates.

We usually don't actually perceive stuff. Sights, sounds, thoughts, smells.

What we perceive is a reaction to the actual perception. Or a reaction to a reaction to a reaction. Down that chain a bit. Ending, more or less, with an idea.

Those reactions are like a fog between you and the actual perception.

When we concentrate, or meditate, or otherwise get a clearer, closer look at the perception, we see it in an uncommon way.

We see the "truer" form. And much that was hidden becomes evident.

This is the main power of the artist, musician, athlete, scientist.
Didn't they become a monopoly when they stopped allowing other app stores. From that point they were a monopoly on iPhone. But being a monopoly is not enough to warrant action, it's abusing the monopoly position that is market abuse, i would have thought?
That 50 people team probably costs at least 250000/month. Are you going to take away a tool that everyone on the team needs to save 1250?

Or put another way, how much time would you need to replicate what Docker offers for a team of 50 people? If it takes more than 25% of the time of a single employee, then Docker is cheaper (assuming your employee costs $5000 a month, which I guess is a lower bound for an engineer).
It doesn't matter if it has parity of functionality when Docker has grown to the point where it has name recognition with enterprises and a sales team that can engage with these large customers.

It needs to have parity in all other pseudo-layers (3rd party tool support, support plans, OS support, someone to sign a contract with, compliance tools, etc.) We know most of these go unused or have no real meaning to devs, but they unlock enterprise procurement.

I believe podman has a linkage to RedHat which may actually bring all of the things that procurement want to hear, but the question is whether the door is open to RedHat, or not. Procurement departments can be fickle, preferring Oracle for everything or the other way round trying to eradicate Oracle while permitting a combination of others. It's all politics based on previous experiences and opinions in the end.
When I want a very specific version if the image, I use the SHA to pull/run

Perhaps - though the Express critised a TV Show of which Cleese was in for 6 minute out of a 2 hour show. Then pinned it on Cleese as "his show" but Cleese didnt make it or in it much. Express was given opportunity to fix the article, refused and lost in court (after offering him £10k beforehand)... They were in the wrong.
I guess this contributes to me watching less and less shows because I am tired of stuff being canceled midseason. It might be a self fulfilling prophecy. Less people watch these shows/appear to watch these shows, the networks stop producing it and these people don't come back to whatever the network does end up producing.

From what I am hearing, traditional forms of media are in decline because people are spending their time on Youtube/Twitch/Social media instead.

A bit late to the question, but for me is mostly my cloud workloads definitively means I am more platform agnostic, and I am inclined to use the least resistance path for (high quality) videocalls and that means to be able to easily connect audio/video devices. From College I used to be a evangelizer of the goodies of linux, but nowadays I am too tired to fight that battle.

I might be wrong, but I think his point is that by the time you're running a linux VM for docker, why not go ahead and get the rest of the tooling for free?

Docker can still be run in the VM just fine, for cases where you want a reproducible build environment.

I do this at any company that lets me (and by lets, I mean doesn't explicitly forbid) - They all give me a Mac, and the first (and sometimes only) thing I install is usually vmware fusion, followed by the linux distro of my choice (Arch).
It becomes the government's and everyone else's business because who's going to look after you if you get disabled and can't work? You'll then have to proceed to beg, steal or live on government benefits and then you become everyone else's problem. As long as we live in a society we are our brother's keeper whether we like it or not. The only escape is to move away from society so you have no interaction with it so then you can't complain about society interacting with you. Which in today's world is impossible as society will still at least affect your natural environment, unfortunately.
You are framing this as if there is a magical "growth curve" that must take you from an inovative startup to a 800 pound gorilla that has a complete chokehold over the market.

No, if regulators do their job, nobody gets to ask that question because there is continuous competition. Getting to that monopoly or oligopoly requires sustained effort from would be monopolists, it's a strategy they have been executing for more than a decade. And if you do that, you must expect there is a moment where society says: ok, it's time to regulate it and not let company X extract economic rent solely based on market dominance.
The accused isn't always the only threat to the victim; even if they are put behind bars, they may often have associations to other perpetrators yet to be found.

In any case, this logic is tantamount to:

"We don't see any immediate threat to posting the first 3 digits of victim's SSN in the transcript, and they don't have any ID theft criminals yet, so let's just post the first 3 digits for the hell of it."

Residential address is equally unnecessary. No need to post their address for the hell of it.
Genuinely, why does it matter? Why should the judge waste any attention on things like that, things that have zero significance to the matter at hand?
