I'm not sure it's a question of FOSS OS vs non-FOSS OS. Working with MacOS has always felt similar to working with other non-Linuxes -- it's different. When OSX first came along with Rhapsody, while it was a form of UNIX it was definitely painful - stuff rarely built out of box, and there was lots of breakage. It surprises me when people talk about how wonderful OSX used to be that they forget how absolutely painful it was for the first few years of its existence. There was a brief period between 2005 and 2013 when stuff worked reliably (the "golden age" you refer to) - and it wasn't a matter of OSX becoming more open. It was just popular, so OSX was a first class citizen in most configure scripts and the OS didn't really put up any barriers to using it like a Linux with respect to the Linux security/permissions model.

The added restrictions of recent times (e.g. SIP, the move to a non-GNU build toolchain, hard read-only restrictions on the OS region of the filesystem, etc) aren't so much a FOSS issue as them just adopting conventions that aren't present on the Linuxes. The breakage of packages and porting efforts feel very similar to when we used to have to worry about how a package would work on HP-UX, Irix, Solaris, and the various systems that were all similar but not quite identical. That was never a function of FOSS or not - it was just a function of not being all the same.

I find it very frustrating that people try to treat OSX as a Linux - it's not, and it never will be. If you want to support macOS, then support macOS - don't try to bash Linux-isms onto it since they will always feel like a hack since it isn't and never will be a Linux. If that's important to you, there's an easy solution - use Linux. I do that - I have my MacBook that I use as a Mac, and for the stuff that's simply too awkward to use natively there, I just ssh to my Linux workstation and carry on.
Drugging young children into quiet compliance and uniformity cannot be the answer.

This ADHD epidemic is localized in the US, so either people there are being overdiagnosed for the sake of sinplicity, so they can just be drugged; or there is something horribly wrong, causing all those children to suddenly develop ADHD.

My money is on the former explanation.
Nice

That reminds me of something about the Greek letters Omega (Ω, ω) and Omicron (Ο, ο). O-mega means "big O" and O-micron means "small O".
Do housing prices actually reflect inflation at this point in time? The underlying hypothesis is that institutional investors are dumping their cash into real estate as an alternative to low-rise investments that recently started to pay negative interest rates.

In fact, we are starting to see places around the world whose local government started blocking real estate purchases from institutional investors as they were pricing families out of the market.
The problem with these low level frameworks is that you end up with a lot of bug and security issues you don't even know you have.

I mean, for learning purposes....go ahead. I'll never use it for any production web application which requires authentication, permissions and database access. You end up with an undocumented , poorly tested, half baked version of what Django or rails give you.
The fact you tried to rudely and defensively turn my "consider the downsides" (that you actually asked for!) into "rationalization chock-a-block" tells me it doesn't really "depend" for you.

If you think I'm taking a side by merely pointing out something has downsides: you're projecting. Neither reusing nor building from scratch should be automatic decisions taken without consideration.
You should really finish de-googling your smartphone. Maybe just use the built in mail app to connect to your work email.
Deterrence can very often shape behavior. Addictive behavior can be discouraged with legal disincentives. Sexual promiscuity involving high-risk intercourse can be discouraged with harsh prohibitions. Addiction exists on a spectrum, and those further from the extreme addiction end can often be discouraged through strong-arming social intervention.

But for the vaccine mandate supporters, who oppose laws to hold accountable people who burden the healthcare system through over-eating, drug and alcohol abuse or high-risk sexual activity, virtue signalling is more important than saving lives, or punishing MAGA types is more important than respecting rights. Hence the inconsistency.
Fun fact: electric cars make larger, not smaller, road noises.

This is because wind and tire rolling noises take over any engine noise at > 15mph, and because electric vehicles are usually substantially larger and heavier than its counterparts.

Those whooosh noise of a car passing is mostly the sound of an 1.75t object rolling through displacing air.
With Epic having their own store, Apple, Google, Sony, Nintendo and the Microsoft budgets, the key question is how many game studio is Valve able to afford buying.
Given the ridiculously uncertain nature of war it seems reasonable to expect that we take responsibility for the unintended consequences of our actions. Our good intentions at the start are irrelevant.

War introduces a lot of entropy into nations. It is the ultimate dice roll in terms of outcomes. You are taking a gamble. And history would suggest that civilians suffer hugely whatever the political outcome. If we know that then how can we shut our eyes to that effect?
I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this must be for the both of you. It must be terrifying having a loved one trying to commit suicide. I hope your wife and you find peace and happiness.
Breaking down that 90%, 24% is from family, 23% is romantic partners, and 44% falls into the “other people I know category” which seems to be the one you are nitpicking could include stalkers and mafia bosses. Be that as it may, total strangers account for just 9% of cases, yet the “beware of strangers, they may rape you” seems more aptly applied to lovers and family (50% of cases).
I don't quite understand: it seems to me there is an infinite stream of news, and everybody has to find a way to extract bits and pieces relevant to them.

Social networks just make it easier to access the news stream, in that sense. But they are not responsible for creating the news, or at least, not in a significant way - as infinite+whatever amount of "news" SN create is still infinite.

This just in relation to the article - of course SNs create all kinds of problems, but the amount of information is not really the problem caused by SNs.
If the injunction doesn’t take hold for 90 days, then it isn’t _now_ disallowed by courts. And if Apple wins an appeal against it you are screwed if you jumped now (assuming it passed review).

Edit: I thought both sides were appealing. That is apparently not the case. Still, If there is a chance that you interpret the rule differently from Apple - it’s still safer to wait and see what happens.
Exactly.

For example on a small company we had one user that needed RTL support, this ment we create backend code to store his perferences, front end code to add UI for it and testing the feature.
We implemented because for a small company each user is important where big companies or projects(Firefox,GNOME will force this minorities to go elsewhere)
Perhaps make reposting more difficult, e.g. let the user solve a captcha. That will make the user think twice before reposting something.
to add to that: in order to unlock, you need to register with your phonenumber and the wait time is a random interval of a few days to a few weeks.

i think you can unlock one phone per month per registered phone number.

this is done expressly with the intent to prevent mass unlocking by 3rd party resellers.
Yeah, with small details like having a GL 3.3 driver for a graphics card that under Windows does GL 4.1 and hardware video decoding.
Like Android?
So, accidently on purpose? If true then, how very ironic.

What concerns me is, these people say "trust us", but then things like this happen, and then their subsequent behaviour belies their request that we trust them.

And until we can get back to a position were these people can be trusted, well then distrust and suspicion will be the order of the day.
Only if it is a recent generation AMD card.

Good luck with older cards, ignored by the open source driver.
It needs to run with elevated privileges in order to do this, right? So into the trash it goes. This is right up there with keyboard and mice configuration software running as daemons with administration privileges.
Looking at his record, he's one of those democratic representatives who takes the broad endorsement of a fiercely Right Wing local electorate to mean that he should ignore what's politically possible and fight for whatever he and his voters believe anyway -- but only when it doesn't matter.

So that means things like when there's obviously very broad support for a measure, insist on a roll call vote, wasting the time of every other member so as to underscore your opposition to say, clean water, or food for the poor. But, as with so many of these "principled" Republicans, when it's very narrow and every vote counts suddenly he's straight party line Republican...

In the UK we have people like Peter Bone, Bone opposes same-sex marriage, abortion, wants to see the Death Penalty brought back, as well as mandatory conscription. He sees the NHS as dangerous example of socialism, "like Stalin's Russia".

But Westminster has more experience than Washington, and so it's a little harder to be disruptive. Bone can introduce "Private Members Bills" which could become law but, lacking support from either government or the opposition, they aren't likely to go anywhere. By convention the readings of these bills are scheduled for Friday afternoon. So, almost everybody goes home, people like Bone are left in the chamber to ramble on about how it'd be a great idea if Britain's threadbare Army was made to try to turn unwilling 18 and 19 year olds into soldiers, as if a vast unskilled infantry is something you need in the 21st century; or why a foetus is a "human person" or whatever - and then eventually it comes to the point where there's supposed to be a vote. The Deputy Speaker who drew the short straw and is obliged to be there pretends to hear a controversy in the mostly empty room, "Division!" and this causes a count, which of course finds that the chamber is inquorate and thus incapable of anything, Bone wasted his time and that of a handful of the other representatives (who won't forget it) and civil servants, but most people went home early.
In a competitive environment it's a strategy to look smarter than your peers. The hope is that they can go and figure out whatever they missed during implementation (often this is not the case, of course).

There's social value in appearing to "get it", and social cost in being the one to ask (especially if others in the group, hearing the explanation, pretend they knew all along).
Where is Minesweeper example? :-D
Thanks, that explains a lot. The 3 kopeck coin is blowing my mind even more, though!
Naked Objects is a fascinating idea that seems to have mostly disappeared from view. From my reading on it the UI basically falls out of the domain model fully formed, and that was what end users work with exclusively. I imagine that might seem too simultaneously worrying and limiting for it to gain traction in the conservative corporate sphere.
There is the path that that could be TRUE, and the path that that could be FALSE :p
I don't eat any animal products and still enjoy food immensely. Enjoyment of food is based on circumstance and is relative: I lived in Nepal for a few years and saw farmers enjoy plates of rice and lentils more than most Westerners would enjoy a steak. It is entirely possible to enjoy food without destructive livestock such as cows.
I bought my Xiaomi to use Telegram and Google Authenticator. However I then realized I can't unlock my phone without having a phone number. The only reason I currently pay for a sim card is so I can unlock it when I find the time.

It does not feel like MY device at all.
"In early November 2015, you will find K.e.coffman in “20 July plot,” an article about the failed plan by German officers to assassinate Hitler. A sentence has jumped out at her. It says that some of the conspirators came to see the plot as “a grand, if futile gesture” that would save “the honour of themselves, their families, the army and Germany.” The claim isn’t supported by any sources. It’s conjecture, hearsay. And to her it seems strangely flattering."

How on earth is this flattering? It is the opposite! There are other examples.

I've never come across a page on Wikipedia organically that I'd rate as pro-Nazi.

It seems that we have another obsessive Wikipedia rewriter (for the good of humanity of course).
So basically, the way I understand it, money is just a means of getting people to do work.

All of this work/activity is for fiat currency what gold was in the gold standard.

So the ceiling is much higher, but there's still a ceiling - go too high and your currency is in trouble.

Also manage the removal of money properly - too much tax and people are in trouble, which leads to your currency being in trouble.

Can it ever recover if people lose trust in it? Since that's a major part of what's keeping such a system going.
Interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to electric buses and trucks though. Standing on the sidewalk when a bus accelerates next to you can be offensively loud.
The important thing is to not give up! It’s not uncommon to send out dozens of resumes and receive no response. Big companies have software that uses algorithms to throw out as many resumes as possible before anyone looks at them, you might have better luck at smaller companies. Recruiters are free, make sure you use them. There is no pay to play in the US, if any recruiters ask for money then it’s a scam. Both in your written resume and when talking to people, don’t harp on being a fresh grad or having little experience, focus on talking about the things you do know and have done. A short cover letter with a couple lines stating that you are excited about an opportunity to work with the specific hardware/software (mention them directly by name) mentioned in the job posting might help - people love to see enthusiasm. Don’t be afraid to take a side job to get some spending money while you look for a tech gig, restaurants are desperate for people at the moment, just make sure mornings are free so you can take interviews. If you have family you can live with while you look then take full advantage of that - lots of people do that - and in forty or fifty years you may be returning the favor.
This looks to be the study.

It's odd that the Guardian neither links to it, nor even names the researchers or their institution.

Electronics is a tremendously complex subject, akin to "mathematics". So just replace one with the other and you'd know what to expect: "a summary of mathematics". Ridiculous, to begin with.
It's lazy and greedy and arrogant. It's catering to the lowest common denominator, pushing users into a cycle of manipulation and constant change, preventing any nuanced use of software, forcing users to increased dependence on a walled garden.

It's a dark pattern - don't let people use the software in unexpected ways that might take potential profit away from another service or future feature. If any use gives more value than was intended, that use will be curtailed, then properly monetized elsewhere, or simply (and more often than not) shut off.

If combinations of available settings reveal an actual bug, sometimes it's easier to take away the options than to fix the bug. But if it's simply a case that the software is doing things the developers don't want for any of the above reasons, they claim users are too incompetent to be trusted, and that they're removing the option for the good of the user.

It's a gross and vapid perverse incentive endemic to FAANG.

Good solutions exist for complexity and user configurations, like snapshots, reset to default, and so on. There's no excuse for mature software to lose configurability.

But vaccinated people transmit the virus at a sufficiently high rate to prevent herd immunity from being established.

Without herd immunity, the virus will propagate, even if it's at a slower rate, making it inevitable that every one is eventually exposed to the virus.
Hmm, i wouldn't be so sure, since one of the slogans of Pascal (and i guess Delphi too) was "write once, compile anywhere" - i still think that FreePascal/Lazarus is a great choice for multi platform code, though personally i haven't exactly used Delphi in such a capacity to also make that claim.

I do think that you make a good point, however, since not everyone cares about cross platform much and in regards to "native" .NET options on Windows, i'd say that everything from WinForms to stuff like WPF is indeed pleasant. That said, many developers out there also can't afford to (or just shouldn't) ignore cross platform development, so options in that regard are also definitely worth talking about!
I can only comment in the general case, I don't know your personal situation obviously.

Contractors cannot be at arms length. There has to be an arrangement with the employer (Google here) and the contracting firms to pay. That means there has to be a timesheet for each employee. Could be filled by either party.

You said your cousin wasn't paid because somebody (implying from Google Search) said she took too long and refused to pay her. To me that sounds like a normal story where Google had to approve the hours/pay and they didn't. The excuse from Google employees that they are detached is fishy at best, they wouldn't be able to prevent payment if they were.

This article reeks from self-promotion. Based on my experience of Windows it is much more stable to install Docker standalone as a service w/o the Desktop application.
The Docker cli is easy enough to manage containers/volumes etc.
Good thing that "Radish" was also quite heavy. Good luck moving around 200kg device.

Also, no scores, so no reason to pull harder once you've reached the "granddad" force level.

P.S: Author didn't mention that the name comes straight from the Russian fairy tale where only the whole family could pick up a recalcitrant radish out of the ground.
Moderation is something I've been think about lately. So fare the best idea I've come up with is "hide all posts by default", then randomly show a post or comment to something like 5 - 20% for the other users. Only when a post then reaches some level of likes/upvotes/whatever will that post open up to comments and be visible to all other users of the platform. If it fails to reach the required number of votes in 24 hours is will just be deleted.

Most social media platforms are simply to big to moderate in any meaningful way, in my opinion. AI has so far show to be ineffective, as show by comments and open letters from Facebooks human moderation staff.
It's not that hard or far-fetched, given that your EC2 instance needs to have permissions to call SES and AWS can tell whether these requests come from inside or outside their network.
The details of Windows executables are all well documented and open - it's very easy to parse a windows executable and run it. The part that's missing to run it without Windows is the implementation of system calls and system libraries. Without those the executable will run into dependencies that you are missing. This is the whole reason for things like WINE - the executables are easy, but the runtime environment that Microsoft hasn't opened up is hard.
> (To be fair, my most preferred navigation method on long trips is to tape a piece of paper with handwritten notes to the fuel tank anyway.)

Nice to know I'm not alone. This is how I drive cars long distance (but without taping it to a fuel tank), smartphones are handy for quick short navigation, but I feel uncomfortable trusting it for longer journeys - I want to know where i'm going and how i'm going there.

The funny thing is that the act of writing down a summary of the journey, even with diagrams is usually enough for me to remember the whole thing.
> Do you have a citation for this claim? Most protestant Christians I've met are aware of the apocrypha

I'm not aware of any formal studies on this question, I can only speak from personal experience. And, of course, different people have different personal experiences. Mine include hearing – on multiple occasions – Protestants say things along the lines of "Catholics aren't Christian". (To be fair, only a minority of Protestants say stuff like that, but in my experience it is a significant minority.)

> they just do not consider them canonical, in the same way they do not consider the various Islamic additions to the Judeo-Christian tradition to be part of their religion

That's not a good analogy, because prior to the 19th century the vast majority of Protestant Bibles included these books, and some of them still do – by contrast, no Protestant Bible has ever included the Quran. Protestantism originated as a reform movement within the Catholic Church, and one of the aspects of Catholicism which they thought needed reform was the widespread acceptance within it of these books as being equal in authority to the rest of the Bible. So these books play an important role in the history of Protestantism; by contrast, the Quran has no more of a role in the history of Protestantism than the Vedas or the Tripitaka do.

> Squabble was spot on – "The Bible" is different things to different people

I think, before anyone launches a website called "Free Bible API", they should be aware that different branches of Christianity have different ideas about what belongs in "the Bible", and they should be clear about how they are going to relate to those differences: Are they trying to be ecumenical and inclusive? Or are they building something for one specific branch of Christianity only, such as Protestantism?–in which case, state that limited scope clearly and up-front. This website shows no signs of having thought through any of that.

What stops you from putting a service running on a free tier EC2 instance to listen to requests to call SES?

No, the white color of the sunlight is an illusion. It actually is yellowish, but our vision adjusts for that. We basically have a kind of adaptive white balance. The spectral intensity is mostly that of blackbody radiation, which peaks in the yellow part of the spectrum for our sun.

I wish that wikipedia page came with notes on the intended use (or a link to the relevant page) for every symbol.
You sound like the same person who could never work on a ship as there is a "poop deck", and you could of course never refer to it as such, poop is a bad word!

Also, never try archery as some people might try to use the word "prickshaft" towards you. The horror.
Ugh, I take back "no scores". There were.
