There are many brands in the world that are exclusively engaged in the manufacture of chairs. Anyone who has sat on an uncomfortable chair at least once in his life knows how important it is that this piece of furniture not only fits perfectly into the environment, but also provides comfort. European factories are famous for high-quality chairs, Italian chairs especially stand out against this background. However, the required chair 3d model is not so easy to find. Even if the brand freely provides designers with 3d files, it takes a lot of time to find the necessary ones for the project.
The variety of chairs defies any classification. It is all the more important to find an original chair and a 3d model of a chair that can be used in the project. We can distinguish only a few main types, which differ markedly from each other:

• chairs with armrests;

• chairs without armrests;

• stools;

• benches.
> ...but generally as long as you havent received performance concerns, you can switch.

Bad manager is just incentivized to lodge preemptive mild performance reports against his best performers. Not enough to become a stain on the team members, just enough to prevent them from switching teams. Bonus to the bad manager: they are rewarded for keeping compensation plans from expanding as much as other teams because the mild performance reports help curve down pay adjustments.

The only practical way I've seen to counter this response is strong leadership over such a manager that recognizes what is actually happening and has a quiet talk with the manager. That rarely happens. I'd like to hear what policies others have seen that mitigate this dynamic.

No, it's actually more expensive because you don't get anything done. Precision equipment either works or it doesn't.

Commercial software development practices might be relevant where you can fix things overnight, but this is hard science instrumentation made of atoms, you ship things that must work as expected because the whole point of all this is making better measurements as the field evolves and there's a scientific case for doing it. It is not about selling production versions of the experiment to potential customers.
reMarkable 2 is awesome for it’s purpose, but trying to hack it into a terminal was too finicky and I bailed (same but worse dor the paperwhite). It still works great as a notepad and pdf reader, but 10.3” is the bare minimal practical size IMO.

The Dasung proved to be super finicky for it’s _intended_ purpose and generally awkward as a monitor. I can’t recommend it.
From a cursory look running the backend is close to as simple as installing libpq and then

cargo build --release

and then creating the PostgreSQL user and database, and editing a config file then running the lemmy binary.

I don’t see a problem.

Or, realize that security is not only a tech problem. It’s also a people and societal problem. If we don’t live in societies that are conducive to personal liberty, it becomes extraordinarily hard to have any privacy.

If all encryption became illegal, for example, with a death penalty & minimal trial for those who are discovered to be using it — nobody is going to be using encryption. It doesn’t matter how technically savvy you are, very few people will risk death just on principle of “privacy”.

That’s an extreme example, but makes the point that you need both the tech and the society to support liberty and freedom. And it’s a similar dilemma that people are feeling today — what can you do if the government has compromised nearly everything? Those few uncompromised pieces probably don’t stand much of a chance. So instead, it really is a problem of people and society.

Perhaps consider that instead you just don't hear about it? Australia has some of the harshest defamation laws on the planet and journalists routinely self-censor.

When evidence of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan came out the federal police raided the ABC head office taking hordes of hard drives and documents trying to find out who was the whistleblower. None of the evidence presented by the ABC was ever contested and has subsequently been proven true. The raid has been deemed entirely valid under Australian law. Maybe that doesn't bother you, but it's clear that investigative journalism in Australia runs the same risks as many basketcase countries.

One way in which capitalism is closer to individual freedom is the notion of voluntary transactions between two parties. That is what ultimately makes up the market dynamic of supply and demand. There are some limits to this - for example with monopolies - but in the typical case I think this reasoning holds.

One simple solution is to ban advertisements on the web. To survive, Facebook, Google and similar will have to charge users for the services, this treating them as customers, not the product.

We had quite a bit of existing FP hardware before the IEEE spec.

Code using that hardware was not portable, because each FP unit did things subtly (and sometimes not that subtly) different.

All those already existing hardware units were already doing this type of bit trickery. That's one of the main things that differentiated units from each other.

The people that developed these units all had a stake and were involved in the IEEE process.

That's what "standardization" used to mean. Once you have enough implementations of something that compatibility is an issue, then, with the hindsight of all those implementations, you create a standard.

Today, the meaning of "standardization" is lost. I've seen so many standards that are based on zero actual experience, that had no implementations before the process began, and that 10 years later after many people invested thousands of man hours into a standard document, still have no implementation, some of which, like OpenCL 2 and OpenCL 3 have ended up being "retracted" and we are back to OpenCL 1.

This is particularly true for Khronos standards, Vulkan being the most recent exception. Khronos failures include OpenCL 2, OpenCL 3, OpenMP, SyCL (getting first implementations now, 5-6 years before the first standard was written....). Even for the relatively widely used OpenMP standard, now at version 5, there are still so many features of OpenMP3 that have never been implemented and are arguably useless, that it isn't even funny. Same for OpenMP4 and 5 which mainly added "useless" GPU support (GPU support is important, but the way it was added makes it useless).

The reason Khronos standard suck is because "designers" that can't program hello world write some idea on toilet paper, and sign it off as a standard. Then they ask "the community" to implement it for them, and either nobody cares, or the problem the standard solves are problems nobody has, or the ideas are just wishful thinking that aren't implementable, etc.

The C++ standard is going the same route with signing off on tons of stuff that has little implementation experience, zero proven actual practical value delivered to users.

The best C++ standard spectacular failure example is Concepts. 15 years and thousands of man years invested in designing Concepts, a feature whose main goal is to improve template error messages. Turns out, concepts actually make template error messages worse. They aren't completely useless, but still... who would have thought, right? Well, turns out that every standard that was standardizing standard practice would have... known this... you know... from actual experience...
You're running an 20 players mc server with that hardware? How? In my experience Minecraft-servers are insanely resource hungry, especially whilst generating new parts of the map or larger red stone contraptions. Back when I played around with hosting servers I used the "most optimized" mc-server fork called Tuinity - and even with that I had to allocate way more cpu and ram to the vms then u use. Would love to hear about your setup.
The app is entirely voluntary. Quarantine is not.

Effectively you get to choose -

1. Stay in a quarantine centre for two weeks under guard (which you pay for)

2. Quarantine at home with police visits

3. As above but check in with the app

In that context, getting pissed off about the app is ridiculous.

You want to argue quarantine is unnecessary or wrong? Go for it, make those arguments. But what you’re doing is pissing and moaning about the easiest and least intrusive option. It’s not a good look.

As someone who is coming to the end of two weeks in a quarantine centre (actually a Novotel, and there’s no app or home quarantine for international arrivals), that app option looks mighty good. And as I am about to enter a state with no coronavirus, quarantine is looking like it’s been a great plan.

One area to question with your assumption is that it's tens of thousands of dollars.

Of course this is true today. But what if an ultralight EV in 2030 only costs $1,000? How does that change your assumptions about market behavior then?

> The government isn't a private organization in that only the government can put people in jail. This is what freedom of speech is really about: the ability to say just about anything and not be fined or imprisoned.

Here is a deliberately hyperbolic scenario to illustrate the problem:

If a future government sold all their land to private interests who have opinions about what can and cannot be said, then undesirable people have nowhere to stand while doing the speaking, and those private entities can punish those they don’t like thanks to trespass laws.

This feels like it would de-facto remove freedom of speech even if the government itself passed no new laws.

Agreed 100%, that’s the point of my disclaimers about not knowing enough to have strong, well-defined opinions, nor having relevant skills, both near the start and end of my previous comment.
I'd also add that groups and permissions are probably constant and can be cached with a long timeout.
They are a cost to other developers as well. If one person is not able to (or choose not to) handle the tasks he is assigned to then he is a burden on others. Not to mention others' tasks can have dependency to that person's.

In my experience (I think I had two people that intentionally slacks around and wants to get fired) the companies often put such persons on low prio tasks that barely matter. And be a bit more pessimistic with their estimates
I pin the blame on too many users joining due to the mass popularisation of Reddit by YouTubers. At one point, almost every "popular" YouTuber seemed to have these "subReddit review" videos going on, which inevitably created a large boom in Reddits user base (it grew exponentially in the last 2-3 years). Suddenly Reddit went from being focused on fun/discussion/discovery/curiosity to mass populism and extreme echo-chamberism . The curious folks who originally were the soul of reddit were lost in the noise of "common" people barging in.
Come on, cURL'ing to a foreign server to get a random number and not just reading /dev/urandom is logically identical. It's a hack, just like calling into GPL'ed code over HTTP is a hack to avoid "linking" the GPL'ed code. It doesn't really suddenly turn a site from gambling site into a non-gambling site.

I mean, I have mad respect for the hustle with the former MP etc. I agree with what you say in that you did not actually break the law - because you found a loophole (made a loophole? hustled it? again, I'm impressed). You ran a gambling site from IoM though :-)

I’m coming around to considering Django-seal to be mandatory for non-trivial applications. It will “seal” a query set so that you can’t make accidental DB lookups after the initial fetch. That way you can be more confident that you are doing the right joins in the initial query, and you are safe from the dreaded O(N) ORM issue.

SqlAlchemy has this as part of the ORM, it should really be part of Django IMO.

So this last paragraph to me encapsulates the base fallacy that permeates our society when it comes to analyzing the economy. You exactly assume that there are fixed desires and needs and that this is merely "directed" or shifted around by culture. You think of it as a base real thing that advertisers try to influence, rather than something created from whole cloth.

This assumption does not stand up to scrutiny in my opinion. History shows otherwise.

People go to die in holy war to impress, or serve their country. This is not biologically sensible. And yet they did.

This is what I mean with decoupling. You can of course claim that this is just a strong version of status seeking being channelled, or you can invent another base desire that you think is biologically sensible and that the wish to die in war is just a cultivated version of. But your "base desires" don't have any explanatory value at that point. They don't survive Occam's Razor. They only serve to satisfy your psychological need that the things you care about are _real_.
There has been an extremely long and celebrated history of different nations and peoples employing different military tactics and being known for different sets of skills in battle.

Having a husband/wife who phones you up and says, "get home now, it's late" is a great thing. It might feel annoying at the time because you're "so close to getting this done!", but its a bad habit, and in those situations the work is rarely ever done. Quarter to quarter there's always gonna be a deadline. My wife always expected a high standard from me, ie: "I didn't marry an empty chair", and she was 100% correct.
Didn't you get the hint with Chomsky being both a socialist and anti-authoritarian may mean that socialism is not just those regimes? I'll assume you're just being willfully obtuse at this point (and given your comment history, I'm not surprised).

It is btw interesting to note that onivim 1 was neovim but the author decided that it was better to wrap the vim source code.
> The app allows people who are required to isolate to opt to do their isolation at home, rather than stay at a quarantine facility.

> Nobody is being forced to use the app.

If there’s a cost difference, I’d say that “forced” is an unfairly neutral word to use.

SA is charging upwards of $3000 (for 1 adult, plus $1000 each additional adult, plus $500 per child) for hotel quarantine [1], and though I can’t find a definitive source, your link does say it is intended to be a “cost effective alternative to medi-hotel quarantine”.

So for a family of 2 adults, 2 kids, being charged $5000 to avoid using the app isn’t real freedom. If it means the difference between putting food on the table or not, it’s no choice at all.
