At 15.6 inches I think it depends pretty heavily on how good your operating system's font rendering is.

If you're stuck on Windows I can't imagine using anything lower than 4k at that size. On the other hand, I'm using a 17.x inch laptop currently, only about a foot and a half from my face, at only 1080p, and it's fine. (Before you blame my vision - I'm actually nearsighted. My vision is near-perfect at this distance.)

I certainly wouldn't accept this DPI from a current laptop, of course; the font rendering certainly could be a lot better and more density would be nice for easier photo editing and so on, but I think a lot of people have forgotten just how good 1080p can be if it's handled well in software. A whole generation spent most of their time on crappy CRTs. Compared to that almost any HD screen is an enormous improvement.
You missed the part in between about the Bolshevik coup leading to the neutering of councils and de facto banning of unions.
With many of us working from home, now all of our "normal day to day" communication channels are basically "hosted" by the company. When you were in the office, you could easily walk over and have a private conversation with someone. Now it's done over communication lines that the company pays for. I wonder if that will have a long-term effect on our ability to talk critically about our workplace with coworkers.
Depends on your browsing habits. I often end up with hundreds of Chrome tabs, which can easily result in 16GB of RAM being consumed by it alone. Thankfully there are plugins to automatically suspend unused tabs which help with that.

For a long time, x86 was a joke when compared to PPC. As it was compared to 68K’s right up to the 68040.

And, as such things go, it was until it wasn’t. Now, the tables have turned and ARM is proving easier to tweak into higher performance designs.
About 4 digits IMO.

The "5" key on most numpads has a bump so I can reach it without even looking at a keyboard I'm familiar with. Any 4-digit security pin I use is entered from numpads.

I always buy a laptop with a numpad. Its my preferred method of typing numbers. There are also a whole slew of video game applications, as well as Blender movement (camera angles, camera movement, etc. etc.) that's highly intuitively mapped to the numpad.

------

I should note that when I was practicing for the video-game community "Blazblue", all movements were discussed in terms of numpad. 236 is quarter-circle forward. 69874123 is "360-degree circle, counterclockwise, starting with right".

Needless to say, typing a combo such as 5b 5c 2d 28d 28 b c b 8 b c 236c 2d was much easier with a numpad.

Anyone who wants to "decode" the button pushes only needs to look at their numpad to see how their left-hand should move, with "b, c, d" being the keywords for the right-hand buttons in Blazblue. Street Fighter players use lp, mp, hp (light punch, medium punch, heavy punch) instead. So those bits get game specific, but the numpad approach to discussion is basically considered superior.
I have a System76 Gazelle. The trackpad tends to freak out when I reboot, issuing random clicks and cursor jitters - so I usually have to reboot again, or deactivate the trackpad in Ubuntu. Multiple firmware and OS updates haven’t fixed this.
A virtual numpad via a modifier key can be the best of both worlds; no extra space is used and your hands stay in the center.

With this method you can customize the location and surrounding mathematical operators.
What people generally mistake is that compilers are not certified - they are qualified tools. In this case, the regulators check if the vendor of the compiler uphold certain standards and practices - once. After that, you - the vendor - are allowed to update yourself.

My mind immediately went to the artificial 4-year lifespan of the Nexus-6 replicants in Blade Runner.
This reminds of an idea in math that proofs by construction are better than proofs by contradiction. Or making artificial grammars (e.g. PLs) with recursive descent parsers instead of context-sensitive grammars with Turing-complete parsers.

If you can build something step-by-step with a clear hierarchy and easy to trace causes and effects, the result seems to be more convincing/reliable than a process involving a bunch of logical roundabouts. Of course, if that's at all possible for a problem at hand.

Everything you mentioned in 1-5 is inherently harder to do as an employee because there is a vast information asymmetry in the workplace. ICs work on a "need to know" basis while managers and HR know everything.

How can you say for sure that you deserve more when you don't know how much others in your role are making? Why would your manager not simply say no and shut down the discussion? If they do offer you a 5% bump, maybe you actually deserve 15%? It's like playing poker with someone who sees all the cards. Sure they can't beat you if you have a royal flush, but on average they will always come out ahead. There's a reason there are laws mandating that your employer cannot stop you from talking about your salary.

These discussions all serve to give you as an employee more data to use in negotiations, and for that they are incredibly effective.
My favorite (and the one I find myself getting the most joy from using) is /, which I have bound to tangle and weave my currently-open project (dbus, yay) into /tmp, apply a stylesheet to the output of it, determine languages used within, embed Emscripten-compiled interpreters for the languages being used into the generated pages (its file system API is incredible, "I Can't Believe It's Not UNIX!"-worthy), and launch a Mozilla instance so I can interactively play with/debug my programs while reading their documentation in the same window.

If this sounds like a convoluted REPL with fancier in-line documentation, you're kind of right. It's basically just interactive and automated literate programming, though.

The rest of my bindings range from pretty simple (running an open project's tests, displaying results from the last 10 commits, etc.) to significantly more complex. I have a few different xkb layouts depending on what I'm doing, and a few different languages get dedicated ones, but for the ones I most-commonly use, they all share one.
There is no "fail", it's just a matter of how many colours one can distinguish, vs how many absolute tone frequencies.
If the kickstarter had been "FOSS for 7 years including free updates", then I'd have no problem with it. Of course, nobody would have paid for that, which moves the whole thing closer to "fraud" territory other than the fact that they probably didn't plan this at the time.
Any log analyzer will tell you which path is the most hit. For slowest paths, I think a server daemon could theoretically log how long it took to serve the page from request in to last byte out, but I don't know if any of them do that - you might have to set up a custom format for logging, and then from there you'd need to tell your analyzer how to interpret that field. For cache hits, I guess it'd depend on what sort of cache you have in mind, but that might be something you could only effectively log at the application level.
Snooping is one thing. Full blown legal access for law enforcement to view and tamper is another.
When someone just does whatever they feel like and violates policy, what do you think should happen?

Should someone send them a sternly worded email for them to ignore?

Or maybe they should be allowed to do whatever they want regardless of what risk it poses to the organization?
Many Americans are less concerned about safety than they are about tyrants who (as history shows) get a whiff of power and don't stop making rules until they have complete dominance over every aspect of people's lives. That's much scarier and more damaging than a virus which is, for over 99% of people, about on par with the flu.
>Guns quite literally put a very hard hold on how far they will go -- maybe not in passing laws, but definitely in enforcing them.

No they don't. Let's be real - Some American cops won't hesitate to shoot a black person, armed or unarmed. The only thing private gun ownership guarantees WRT the state is an escalation of force on its part. Remember Waco and Ruby Ridge? The government will send tanks and flamethrowers at you if they want you bad enough.

As far as Breonna Taylor and police violence against the black community goes, political action and protest seem to have been more effective at raising awareness and putting pressure on government to change policy and culture than the ever-present threat of private guns and populist violence, and changing culture is how you get to police not willing to step over the line.

I'm not saying (since this is bound to be a touchy comment) that black people shouldn't arm themselves or are never justified in defending themselves against police brutality, but I am saying that doing so has no effect on the system at large.
Ten minutes seems problematic. I use a few services where the MFA codes I receive (via email!) expire in only 5 minutes.
The statement was that the engineer is a $250k asset to the company.

Rule of thumb TCO for headcount is 1.5-2x salary to account for taxes, Medicare, health insurance, equipment cost, licenses, office square footage, stock options, travel, etc.

So a $250k asset from a business perspective is typically someone that makes $125k-$165k.
Technically, it is not hard (assuming you have the money). Your biggest hurdle is getting some sort of recognition from other countries. Enough to be able to trade, and enough not to be bombed by some military out there. An island will be a perfect choice as it'll be hard for "refugees", terrorists and militias to slip through your borders.

Your next hurdle is getting a police / army force as police can take over your city if they are not faithful to you. Since you can't protect your island, you'll need some diplomatic deal with a bigger country (USA, France, China, etc...) to pledge for your protection. Gotta pay them somehow for that kind of protection.

Don't be deluded. There are no dictators out there, but representations of the current forces and powers. At some duration in the timeline of this earth, the powers and forces enabled the creation of democratic nations with generous freedoms afforded to its citizens. Of course this would change as these powers and forces shift.

Australia is a de-facto military dictatorship given that it is a resource-export-oriented nation. The forces at the time (being part of the Common Wealth and an ally to the US) has made it a democratic and free country.

Well when you're there for a victimless crime of some cop searched your car during a traffic stop and found a syringe, I'd say "fuck the state, the judge, and the cop witness" probably wouldn't be going to far. You're the one wanting to judge people's speech, not I.

People get really confused when I say I am pro-union, but anti-american-union.

Workers deserve representation and protections. But American unions are still closely tied to organized crime and are effectively a form of rent-seeking (you must pay us a percentage of your earnings or you can't work here). As recently as 2017 the FBI arrested members of the Lucchese crime family and members of the LIUNA Local 66 for applying a "mob tax" to new construction projects.

Empirical evidence? If you’re going to play games for some supposed benefit, games where you are forced to compete or have brutal requirements are going to force you to think more.

The 68000, with its neat ISA, linear address space and large register set, is much easier to program than a 6502/65816. All other things (SDKs, dev hardware) being equal, will result in more, better games hitting the market at a faster cadence.
Overall the concept of property has similar absurdity if you think deeply about it, especially with the concept of land ownership, or ownership in general. Property, title, money and ownership are organization structures for human activity, congruent with human social instincts, enforced ultimately by violence too. It's otherwise a fiction.

It's pretty simple. There have been far fewer cases and deaths than in the US. As for the vaccine rollout, it is largely a function of the early success in controlling infections.

The initial vaccine doses destined for Australia were diverted to more urgent areas (which was the right thing to do). Then as domestic product of AZ ramped up, a scare campaign ramped up (media love to make people worried) and the body for recommending vaccines gave advice for under 50s to not take AZ (whilst there was no actual alternative). Because covid lockdowns were effective, and Australians were seeing such low rates, there was complacency amongst the population and they were willing to wait for their vaccine of choice. Now delta is looking like it is making lockdowns less effective, and there is ample supply of Pfizer, people are scrambling to get vaccinated.

> both of which are imperfect workarounds for the lack of resolution

Imperfect, certainly, but they are pretty good workarounds that usually generate perfectly readable text. In my experience, when text looks bad at 1080p, it is more often because hinting has been done badly, heavily distorting the letter forms, rather than the inherent limitations of the resolution.

To be clear, I certainly prefer reading text at higher DPIs, but at should be seen as one particular tradeoff to be weighed against the heavier battery and graphics demands of higher pixel count screens.

- Is the screen glossy? No (is matte / anti-glare).

- Is the RAM soldered? No.

- Is the RAM upgradeable? Yes, upto 64 GB.

- Is the SSD soldered? No.

- Is the SSD upgradeable? Yes.

- Can the battery be easily replaced? Yes.
Qwary – Empowering brands create personal connection with customers
you jumped from $10m revenue to a 200 developer company with payroll of $3m month in your example.

There are tiny companies with $10m revenue (remember, revenue isn't margin and certainly isn't profit). A company could easily have non-employment expenses be 90% of its revenue, so we are talking about $1m or 7-8 person company there on decent salaries. A far cry from the 200 devs you give as an example.

However as to "why" - because docker's precise value proposition is its ubiquity and universality. The exact reason people have adopted it is because everyone can run it, no matter who, no matter where. So this compromises the main value proposition of Docker. People will now find alternatives because if I can't distribute my application using docker and know the person at the other end can run it (because now they need a license that they don't have) then it lost virtually its whole point to me.

This sounds more like someone who just wants to blame a series of poor management decisions on those damn unions.

It's management's responsibility to make sure they have the right people on hand when they roll out an update to a major system. It's also their responsibility to come out of union negotiations with the right contracts, which would have at the very least included some sort of force majeure clause to account for technical disasters.

I'm glad you're opposed to the bill, but what you describe sounds to me like a mindset of "I'm free because the government (via restrictions on people) helps me feel safe". To me, that's not freedom, but dependency.
You confuse legality with morality. Privacy is, in part, the right to act on our own convictions. Breaking the law is a critical part of protest ("civil disobedience").

Besides which, the state has done just fine without such invasive measures before. Even with perfect oversight, the goals themselves can still be horribly corrupt, and no one should consider it "correct" to go about enforcing clearly immoral laws.
This is excellent! There used to be a similar app called "Sticky AI", but the company abandoned it after a while and the backend for the app shut down. This works great and has no external dependencies.
You are conflating the abstract idea of "science" with the peer review process. Peer review is merely a social construct for filtering and disseminating knowledge among specialists. The fact that some novel scientific idea first showed up in a peer reviewed journal does not mean that peer review is an essential component of the scientific method.

Even more important than lighting is the ability to manually control the settings of your camera. The photographer mentioned in the post is clearly using a third party camera app (that I too use) which allows to change the shutter speed, ISO and has manual focus capabilities.
Would he have gotten the same image if he had had to rely on the automatic settings? No, because then he would have had to change the lights to appease an ever changing and inscrutable iPhone exposure compensation algorithm.

I think we are accustomed to bad smartphone photography not because of the technical specification of the sensors and lenses, but because people simply don't have the time, the will, or even the physical ability of manually shooting the with good pondered settings. In the analog world the same holds true for those cheap single use cameras our parents gave us when going to camp; unless you were lucky all the photos taken would have looked bland and flat, exactly like a quick iPhone snapshot
