Great piece, thanks for posting. The misleading media narratives on Florida don’t only affect Florida, but are also meant to strike fear into the heart of Americans and kill hopes for normalcy. A future without constant fearmongering over COVID would take away the power gained by the mass media during this pandemic. It goes against media interest for pandemic fear to end.
That could possibly be permissible for new employees signing a new agreement.

However, “legacy” employees never signed any document of employment stating they were required to disclose vaccination status the way you are told you will have provide proof of identity and so on prior to onboardung.
If everyone is getting covid, including person A, how does person B being vaccinated reduce negative impact on person A?
How does the C ffi in Chez (or guile if anyone is familiar) compare with Chicken? I’ve heard good things about all three but have only used guile a bit, but never the C ffi. I’ve heard Chicken proponents speak highly of the ffi but have not seen any comparisons between the three implementations.
“Commercial” is not incompatible with “open source”. If you have a policy of “release last year's version under AGPLv3” (and then buy indefinite proprietary licenses for the best community patches off their authors), we'll all benefit from open source without you having competitors leeching off your work.

In fact, some companies can do it with no time delay, like https://plausible.io – but, of course, it depends on your business model and your field.

I wonder was that tested in a court? In a case where the person who transcribed the song has not profited in any way from that, neither selling the transcription, not selling ads on the web?
From a safety point of view, it’s difficult to test for marijuana intoxication. There’s a simple test any employer could do to test whether their forklift driver is drunk right now. The best a marijuana simple marijuana test can do is whether you’ve had it in the past few days.

No it does not. You can't even buy a house if you are a Dene that does not live/work in that city. You can buy a house and live there. You are free to do so, but you are not allowed to buy a house to rent it out. It is typical European market regulation. Amsterdam is also setting up this legislation to do this.
There is nothing to figure out: you take your Linksys/Asus/whatever device, plug in the WAN side to your modem, and your computer(s) to the LAN ports. Perhaps enter your credentials if you're using PPPoE, and you're done.

I'm not sure why you think IPv6 is more complicated than IPv4 for home users when it comes to CPEs.

What exactly do you think needs to be done on an Asus/Linksys for IPv6 protection that is different than IPv4?
I am not big in the WSB scene but this was an incredibly curious read of what I consider engineering markets at scale.
Composition of microservices doesn't have to be untyped, it just almost always is in the current ecosystem. There's always an implicit contract in place between the services, and there's no reason that contract can't be encoded in types on both ends.

(I agree in general that microservices aren't all they're cracked up to be, but lack of typing isn't an inherent flaw in the concept.)
LuneOS seems to be using some of the code from webOS Open Source Edition:

> The company says that the counter notices sent by the defendants in response were not legitimate.

It really isn’t fair to put all of this legalese in front of laypeople (and in this case, laypeople in other countries/legal systems) and then allow highly experienced corporate attorneys to nitpick their obviously inadequate understanding of the language and its implications.
Unit tests with TONS of assertions, cleaned data from form to ORM object, stuff that look look like you're just through a list and doing the same thing over and over. For these, Copilot is great. I wouldn't trust it to do anything else though.

Unfortunately, the way we’ve organized this industry, a junior developer stuck on an Agile(TM) hamster wheel has no time to dive in and figure it out.
> They're supposed to have that knowledge

I don't think so. We can do so many amazing things with the computers precisely because we don't have to know how things work. Computers are so many levels of abstractions over printed metal on melted sand.

People who know what they are doing will understand the errors of their own creations and will learn the workings of the tools they use to some degrees and will be able to understand the failing modes of these tools with experience over time. No one starts with complete knowledge before start building things.

> or at least not be afraid to dive in and get that knowledge.

Of course they should have the drive but people's first instinct would be to make the error go away so that they can do their actual work. People have limited time and energy, you can't expect a JS developer, for example, to study inner workings of a Linux box to understand all errors. It's cool when they do and gives them superpowers but it also makes them less productive as JS developers. Sometimes you simply need to implement that button to render on the server without studying the server.
they do have, the problem they have never use windows 11
On Linux there are a whole bunch of tiling window managers that do this. i3 is probably the most famous one. I use Pop_OS shell on Manjaro to combine GNOME and tiled windows (with sadly very limited customizability on window positioning) which works quite well; it's tiling windows without the need to remember a billion system specific shortcuts.

On Windows you now have FancyZones, part of the Windows power pack thing Microsoft provides on Github, which allows you to draw areas you can snap windows into. Windows 11 even has some common window layouts built right in.

More traditional Linux desktops (like MATE) will probably try to avoid this paradigm, as they're more about sticking to what works than experimenting with new stuff. However, I think I see a trend where some sort of tiling is becoming part of more and more desktop environments.
I'm not American either, but I'm intrigued about what could make you think that I was.

Working together implies listening to the other side, even if you disagree and in the end choose to ignore it.

And being reluctant to the vaccine is not "anti-science" : it is after all a relatively new technology (mRNA vaccines have been experimented for more or less 10 years), that is being made widely mandatory, and it would not be the first time a new medicine is discovered to have fatal side effects after some time (the Mediator case comes to mind : https://www.france24.com/en/france/20210329-mediator-trial-f...).

To me, the cost-benefit analysis makes me overwhelmingly pro-vaccine, and I've debated as such multiple time, but what mainly disturbs me is that I find a lot of people from my side debating with ad-hominems (you're anti-science, stupid people, you're with us or against us, etc...) instead of trying to debate actual points and fears.

There are people debating in bad faith on the other side as well, that's for sure, but to me the best is not to engage them at all, and most of all not to debate in bad faith yourself either, as it is not a much better place to be a parrot of government propaganda than it is to be a parrot of conspirationist propaganda.
Many experts accept that viruses evolve to be less lethal, and more infectious.

“I believe that viruses tend to become less pathogenic,” says Burtram Fielding, a coronavirologist at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. “The ultimate aim of a pathogen is to reproduce, to make more of itself. Any pathogen that kills the host too fast will not give itself enough time to reproduce.” [1]

That same article though says it's tough to generalize evolution. It's possible something could evolve to be more lethal and more infectious. However, that's not in the best interests of maximizing the survival and reproduction of the virus, and that is what evolution typically selects for.

Hopefully somebody introduces this. Weed stinks and people who smoke it outdoors are as much a nuisance as people who smoke cigarettes. Both should be legal but banned from any public places.
> I've been told that getting a clearance is more burden than blessing

Yes it definitely can be, but depends on your personality and stage of life. You are always cognizant of having a clearance and the need to maintain it, and so you consider that in your every day life. You also have to open your life up in uncomfortable ways, even if your only objection is in principal.

You probably don't sweat it too much later in life since you generally are a more 'boring' person, but I had mine in my mid 20's so was a lot more active in terms of social life. One time I was in downtown SF with a buddy hitting up bars etc and eventually had to cut out early because things were getting more drug oriented. I also used to play a lot of cards before getting a clearance and had contacts who were in some shady stuff. I basically excommunicated them from my life to avoid the clearance hassle.
TL;DR this only lets you edit files, not actually run commands since there’s no underlying container (unless you pay by the minute for Github Codespaces).

This is in contrast to WebContainers which launched a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27223012) and enables VS Code to run entirely in-browser (including terminal commands) using a WebAssembly based operating system.

I will say I’m not looking forward to writing some mundane code today.

It’s interacting with GCS to scan a bucket for an extension, load the data with pandas, and concat some dataframes. It’s something dumb but mildly finicky that’s going to eat up so much time I could be using for higher value work.

Copilot would be very welcome as I do this, instead of annoyingly going off to Google 3 different python libraries and getting it all to work nicely together.
Gave this a shot in guest mode.

It sounds promising in theory and I agree that linking the Q/A cards to more detailed notes and tree structure is useful but in implementation it felt very clunky and I did not gel with the UI at all. The most immediate issue was that identifying how to actually markdown the notes into a usable question and answer format wasn't clear from the brief description in the intro document. The tool REALLY needs a tutorial. After I worked that out though the "learn" tab just felt like any other SR flashcard app and it didn't present the notes in any useful way to make it better than a well curated Anki deck.

I've never really tried anything except Anki, Memrise and now this app but it's just hard to recommend this over Anki, as a widely accepted and open source standard. I found this frustrating to use.
Sad truth is that nobody cares. Not the users, not the makers. It would take a minuscule fraction of Microsoft's resources to fix this, especially when they are anyway making a new OS. But other considerations take precedence, since nobody really cares if textboxes look alike.

This is certainly why. There's not much value in making them consistent. Hell, I notice these things but don't really think or care much about them. It just doesn't affect my interactions. They all still look like places to enter text, which is the important part of their design.
It's closer to Python too, other guy messed up the example
It is absolutely a property of the instruction set. In the meantime, I remembered two prominent examples: ARM has compare-and-branch instructions and load / store with offset and scaling instructions. There is no way to get the benefits of less decoding and possibly combining (possibly also reduced register pressure and shorter dependency chains - no intermediate address calculations or comparison status registers) without changing the instruction set.
…and getting the order of the 3 letters in “UBS” wrong
Maybe I’m just being pedantic, but when an OS uses 4+ different design languages across all the system software, While it has little to no effect on my ability to get work done, I simply prefer looking at a pretty, consistent UI.

To be fair, macOS isn’t perfect either, especially with some of the system apps that have become the iOS equivalent running on macOS in the past years. Although I do find macOS to have greater consistency overall than Windows.
Who cares whose fault is it? What counts, and what OP is talking about, is just the experience.
How to Lose 20 Lbs. Of Fat in 30 Days Without Doing Any Exercise
Right. When I was learning to code a more seasoned dev told me "The code doesn't do what you want it to do, only what you _tell_ it to do."

Really helped me gain the mindset that not only was it my mistake that resulted in code not running, but that it was fixable. Like a game of ping pong. You hit the ball, sometimes the compiler hits it back.
Piss off, spies. Why don't you come over to the light side of the force?
What Senior Developers Can Learn from Beginners (2019)
While I learned assembly language and machine code and a tiny bit of electrical engineering in school over 20 years ago, and I think it was helpful to have a basic understanding of how computers work at that level... I don't remember the details, and certainly haven't had to use them in my career as a programmer, and you don't really need to understand this stuff to be a solid programmer.

Computers are devices for abstracting, always have been.

If we had to understand everything down to do anything, we'd still be at the punchcard stage of computing, and not doing anything more sophisticated than was done then.
Easy, they need to make sure Win32, MFC, Windows Forms, WPF, UWP and WinUI (basically UWP on Win32 without going into details) underlying rendering infrastructure gets aligned with the OS design language.

Guess what, I am 100% sure they do the basic for Win32, make some efforts for WinUI 2.0 (UWP) and WinUI 3.0 (the Win32 one) and that's it.
If I just need to do a quick edit of a text file from the CLI I usually use nano, as well.

For dev. I use an graphical editor, usually VSCode these days. I used emacs at some point a long time ago.

The good thing with git and al is that there is no need to access a remote repo., and that's one of the points, so there is usually no need to edit source files remotely.
Indeed, they have done such an amazing work! I usually find my self using the best of Vim and VSCode at the same time.

I also enjoy the emulated plugins (vim-surround mostly).
Porting the mobile port back to PC is one of my biggest complaints with remasters. Final Fantasy on PC went that route and I would honestly rather pay Square $15 for an emulated version then the releases we got.
I don’t even support the Republican view of limited government here! I think it amounts to “we’re not going to do anything to remedy centuries of slavery and segregation.” I’d support reparations for ADOS people.

But I don’t see any reason to misrepresent the Republican stance. That position is not opposition to civil rights laws, it’s opposition to affirmative action and quotas, and cabining the concept of “racism” to what’s facially discriminatory.

What drives race politics in the country is that Democrats have a special sympathy for Black people and want to help erase persistent disparities, and Republicans don’t care. Democrats want to change existing race-neutral systems to eliminate disparities, and Republicans resist such change. But Republicans as a group don’t want to make it legal for e.g. hotels to discriminate based on race.

See: https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/renos/files/carneyenos.pdf

> We suggest that modern racism scales are primarily capturing two phenomenon: 1) racial liberalism or sympathy and 2) a general set of attitudes about fairness, or a political orientation known as “just world belief” that perceives the world as consisting of people who work hard and those who do not.

> Remarkably, white liberals were the only subgroup exhibiting a pro-outgroup bias—meaning white liberals were more favorable toward nonwhites and are the only group to show this preference for group other than their own.

It’s just the normal liberal versus conservative stuff. Social engineering versus letting natural forces play out. Focus on substantive fairness versus focus on procedural fairness. Focus on government as driving outcomes versus focus on culture driving outcomes. External locus of control versus internal locus of control. Etc.
Lohner-Porsche Mixed Hybrid: the first electric vehicle
When developers see ops as IT for them, it's because ops (and overall management) is doing a poor job laying out the actual responsibilities of each role in the org.
I think the core problem is that they all use different toolkits. The design teams come up with these great widget designs and then they all have to be implemented on a per-toolkit or even per-app basis.

Just looking at Explorer:

- The window itself is a regular Win32 window

- It hosts a WinUI island or such for the top toolbar

- The navigation bar is a ReBar with all custom Win32 widgets

- The content view is a DirectUI widget

You'd think that if they'd standardise on a single toolkit (like macOS with Cocoa) they'd be able to get better results with much less work. Perhaps this is an organisational issue?
Yeah that’s easy. Rather than fix the last thing it’s easier to write a new turd from the ground up with the promise that it’ll solve all the last problems.

Windows happens to have such legacy support and lack of product direction that’s it’s now layers and layers or turds.

This person thinks it's undeniably good that Florida had almost as many deaths/cases as California - a state twice it's size?

Many generations of code and UX standards, all still supported.

This just reveals Microsoft’s prioritization of UX consistency. Whatever the priority is, it’s not enough to overcome the perceived cost of creating consistency.

It also shows why Windows can be a strength: still runs almost everything anyone ever made for it.
No, not really.

You get some updated Win32 window classes, theme engine updated for the UWP based stuff (or WinUI if on desktop side) and that's it.
> Freedom, for instance, falls into the category of "glittering generality"

This is just someone's opinion.
my understanding is states determine zoning laws, which municipalities apply. For example, MA state zoning law determines that cities and towns need a supermajority vote to change their zoning plan, so it's usually politically infeasible for cities and towns to change their zoning except as maybe the occasional once-in-a-generation thing. As a result, most development around here happens through zoning variances, which have to be approved by the local zoning board and are subject to all sorts of hearings and generally get very held up compared to by-right zoning.
