I enforce formatters wherever possible after working on codebases with 20+ years of people imposing their own unique opinion on where spaces and braces should go. Worse, arguing about what the spacing should be, and making noisy diffs because people change previous peoples styling.

The formatter has no opinion. It follows rules. It doesn't work perfectly everywhere. It works enough. I would argue caring about exact bespoke spacing of all code is the perfectionism you mention.
Got one from them now. But not a Linux pre-installed model, sadly.
> I haven’t heard anything like this about Microsoft or Google: both seem responsive and eager to fix within 90 days (mostly)

Print Nightmare was part of a risky call in the printing subsystem design which was recognized as such when they made it in the 90s. That specific vulnerability was disclosed to Microsoft in 2020, accidentally disclosed in public in June, flailed at with incomplete patches and bad documentation all summer while ransomware gangs exploited it, and has theoretically finally been patched in the September release following multiple incomplete patches.

The Exchange auto discover bug announced yesterday had previously been reported with Microsoft telling the reporter that it wasn’t a bug. Oops.

This is hard but it’s also important to remember that this is an industry-wide failure because it’s been cheaper to clean afterwards than invest in proactive cleanup of old “stable” code, and it will likely continue as long as there are no financial consequences for a breach. Adding consequences would change that dynamic but would also be a massive change to the industry. It could endanger open source and would almost certainly make everything more expensive.
I use Windows 10 Pro on Asus VivoBook 15. Hibernation takes approximately one minute.

Qt has GPU-accelerated graphics with the QtQuick scene grqph since 2014. Qml is a declarative language and quite easy to learn with Js based property bindings. It also has an inspector with Gammaray and many profilers (e.g. hotspot,heaptrack, qt creator profilers, kcachegrind, massif,...). The real reason why people are not using it more is the licensing LGPL3 is a bit too scary for some people and the commercial license to expensive
They should drop the cable all together and just do wireless charging? Yes, a lot of wireless plate chargers will need to be put in place but I think it will be a better future rather than cables.
...or just use Briar.
Thousands of other options is the problem. It's why people have baskets full of different chargers, creating all the e-waste.
This seems abnormal, and the government is not exactly trustworthy

My decisions to pick one platform over the other have nothing to do with something so subtle.

I kept both platforms for _years_...then in a time where I was actively looking for work, discovered that my Nexus phone and GoogleFi was sending folks to voicemail without actually ringing me through. When my phone can't phone, that's a pretty good reason to jump ship.

The processors are similar, the form-factors are similar, the OS's are at near feature parity...it's the glue that binds it all together that seems to time the scales slightly to Apple.

(Where did that SMS go? I swear, I can choose from 3 or 4 different places for it to do, and now I can't tell if it's in the SMS app, Messenger, GoogleChat...or?)
Caddy (web server written in go) used to do something like this, basically it was ad-supported (injected ad headers) in a non-commercial free-as-in-beer pre-compiled version and had a paid commercial version.

If you compiled it yourself there were no ads or commercial restrictions though.

pytest stack traces include function arguments for select stack traces. It's stupendously convenient, but it does make the stack traces rather verbose at times.

Depends on your definition of slow.

On my work laptop (modern HP Elitebook), sleep doesn't work at all (laptop just turns on again after going to sleep), so I'm using hibernate exclusively. Waking up from hibernate takes longer than one minute.

On the other hand, my private laptop (Huawei Matebook) wakes up from sleep in less than 10 seconds.
Micro USB was pretty well established 10 years ago. USB 3.0 micro B was just out (2010) and probably would have been a strong contender, since the socket could also accept a USB2 micro B plug.
Good question, they do turn off the discrete GPU when it gets too hot.
I also care about someone else's shitty power brick frying my device.

Breeds have absolutely vanished in the past(1). It takes an awful lot of effort to breed dogs and if there isn't money in it most breeders won't. Without the main financial incentive it's not crazy to think that within a human generation everyone who did it for money will have moved on and anyone who did it for love will have retired.

"Coworker is typing..." for 20 minutes

The above is a way more frustrating interaction because it feels that now the coworker feels I'm obligated to respond to a much longer query than I had anticipated. I'd expected a short query which I could either answer offhand or evaluate its priority to indicate if I had time to handle it. Instead I now need to let someone down that after 20 minutes of explaining their problem, I actually don't have the time or info to help them debug their CI build.

It's gotten to the point that I simply stopped answering these naked hellos/yt questions.
They will do portless just to give a giant middle finger to the EU. Apple's attitude has gotten so bad recently, it's like they are now just choosing whatever is the worst decision in all cases.

My next laptop will be from frame.work.
Makes sense when you do the math: ProRAW Photos on a 12 Pro Max are about 50MB each. 12 Pro Max photos are 12 MP each, and 4k Video is around 6.5MP. So, if we say each frame is half the size, thats 25MB per frame, at 60 Frames a second... thats 1.5GB per second of video... add compression, etc, and 6GB actually sounds less than I would guess... Its nearly 800Mb/s of video... which is why i am waiting for the next one... and hopefully the Pro range will get USBC or Thunderbolt...

The New Regime
The approach taken doesn’t make sense.

A more reasonable approach that supports innovation, and helps to reduce e-waste, is a multi-part plan:

- Require public disclosure of all technical aspects of physical connectors, whether it is a plug-in port or a magnetic/induction or wireless interface. Require licensing on an FRAND basis, but only for a very limited time period, say 5 years. This gets rid of the lock-in, but helps finance adoption, testing, etc., and also creates public disclosure to support right-to-repair, etc.

- Mandate which types of physical connectors must be supported by different device categories for all EU and member state purchasing regimes, which types of connectors will be provided for in public accommodations, etc., and create strict processes for any granted exceptions. This will help subsidize consolidation, penalize the experience of products that choose to not comply, etc., but it still allows for innovation and change without actually specifying product design choices.

- Lastly, require companies that sell electronics to pay into an e-waste fund on a per-unit manufactured basis. Charge the companies something that reflects the externalities of their choices and make them accommodate and evaluate cradle-to-grave impact of their innovative designs before they can enter the marketplace.

USB-C isn’t the perfect dream world of device interfaces, and Apple’s approach of “no ports” experimentation is neither proven, nor an actual solution to the problems the EU is concerned about.
Yep, and everyone still uses all the stoftware written in C/++, and the stuff written in ruby/(and soon go/rust/...) doesn't even run anymore.
Yes, that's why they offer them and have done numerous comparisons showing this as a cost-savings move?
Thanks. I've never seen Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and this comment lead me down a great little Internet rabbit hole
great points. I’ve used tinygo, it is pretty awesome unfortunately the features I was using weren’t supported; I was utilizing some public key cryptography.

I will have to check out emgo; first time I’m hearing about it.
I recall from many years ago a photocatalytic process that used Iron/Iron-Oxide in a CSP solar setup. The solar tower superheated the water, splitting it; the O2 was absorbed by the Fe, leaving the H2 to be harvested; then the FeO2 was heated in a second pass to drive the O2 off, leaving the Fe to be reused. The whole thing sounded ingenious, and I wonder what became of the whole scheme. ISTR that there were some losses due to H2 and O2 recombining, but it sounded attractive in not needing a separation membrane as the OP article describes.

> and that would be the day I move from iPhone.

Which is why iPhone S Pro(2024) has a USB-C port. Starting at $2699 for 16GB models.
Now if only USB connectors were actually as durable as the lightning plug. MicroUSB was/is a disaster with regards to durability, and USB C has so far not done much to convince me.

My 10 year old lightning cable next to my bed still charges my phone every night. it has seen 3000+ plug in/out cycles, and still works as well as when it was new.

Any phone i've had plugged in has never had any issues with loose connectors.

My work HP laptop on the other hand has a USB C plug for charging/display/etc, and despite being less than a year old, it already has the dreaded "wobble" in the USB C connector.

I agree he has a right to, but I still wonder why he chose that course of action. There are plenty of things to do that are 100% legit but not worth the risk.

Maybe he just didn't know about CAF, maybe he thought it wouldn't happen to him or could other reasons. Either way, I hope other folks in the future take heed and don't trust LE with their bags of cash in transit.
A potential use for this would be to use the hydrogen as a way to cheaply store the energy to be used when the sun is not shining. I.e. Pair it with fuel cell tech to generate electricity at night.

In this scenario the price of the tech should be compared to solar + batteries per kWh, and I could imagine that at scale hydrogen storage could beat out the cost of betteries.
Do they sell you bags?
In real life an increasing amount of businesses don't accept cash anymore.

I've had several Dell devices, both laptops and desktops, both at home and at work, and that has never been my experience. In fact, I'm typing this on a Dell laptop, which doesn't have any of these issues you mentioned.

> I believe that no sane developer will opt for Dell's products, but rather go with Lenovo or Apple.

I'm not interested in Apple devices, since besides being very expensive, I prefer to use Linux exclusively, and as far as I know, Linux on Apple devices tends to be problematic.

As for Lenovo, I tried buying a Lenovo device once, but they canceled the sale without any explanation and without giving my money back; and I simply couldn't contact their sales department to ask for a refund (by phone they said it had to be done through email, but the emails went unanswered; I had to sue them in small claims to get my money back). Contrast that with my experience with Dell, where even when their service wasn't at its best (IIRC, some sort of logistics issue due to changing their carrier), they at least answered my phone calls.
Try playing games when your legs block the GPU fans! Only question is whether your legs become insufferably hot before the GPU shuts down! In my case, it was usually the GPU
Time to hibernate linearly depends on amount of RAM you have, and whether you have HDD or SSD. On my 16GB T450 (SSD) with Win10 it takes several seconds.
> My guess would be, that MSRC and Apple's equivalent have an OKR about keeping bounties under a certain level. Security is seen as a cost centre by most companies, and what do "well run" companies do with cost centres... they minimize them :)

It would have to be this.

If you start to increase the payout, you get more people wanting the payout.
This explains why my old windows laptop is constantly out of juice whenever I need to do something with Windows, even though I was sure I set it to hibernate.

The last time I turned it of, I removed the battery. It is pretty silly that my laptop in 2021 can't do what my first laptop could do in 2003. Even worse, it is a Thinkpad. I expect better from those.
Don't know if you've ever tried to submit links here, but it's kind of random whether your submission gets to the front page or not. I believe the click-baitniness of the title has a lot to do with "success" there. You can see a similar effect on YouTube, a lot of videos have really click-baity titles even if the video itself is high quality.

Perhaps I just don't understand the scale involved in banking, but I can't imagine that would be enough or even a substantial part of the driving force. I would think that a new region in AUS an or expansion of the current AUS one would have been a more prudent choice.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that NZ has 2/3 of the cloud providers setting up shop. NZ and NZ-ers often times punch way above their weight and I imagine this decision will only lower the barrier for many of those resourceful entrepreneurs.

This combined with fiber rollout and starlink availability is really going to do wonders for NZ.

Whatever the reason, it's exciting.
This is a very neat idea. I can picture for all sorts of software with a drop-down at the top to select what you want to play with.

Regarding security: From the gist it looks like you're only using network namespaces, when you should probably use an entire container with limits for memory and CPU and isolation for the filesystem as well.
They're suggesting a patch in the classical sense of the term. A whole hog OS update does not qualify. These complications were addressed 20+ years ago when whole hog OS updates were unreasonable. It requires a certain amount of cleverness, but that may be too much to ask of the fruit company.

The issue you usually run into is that the alternative isn't breeding for health or happiness, it's breeding for some arbitrary "standard" of aesthetics. It results in substantially less healthy animals (see: bulldog, German shepherd dog, for examples).
> The puzzle is why the EU doesn't have dominant industries - this is especially stark in sectors that have evolved since the 1980's. Software and Computer Hardware (chips) are clearly one of these, green tech is another.

I’m not an expert on the matter, but continental Europe is very conservative compared to the Anglo-Saxon world (here conservative doesn’t mean xenophobia and imperial units, but reluctant to change). My pet theory is that continental Europe is an older continent, where, to oversimplify, electorates understand cars but not computers.

On top of that: VCs, angel investors, etc… are not a thing, bankruptcy laws are not as good as in the UK or the US, and bureaucracy is a massive drag.

I set up a small software company in the UK, I spent probably 30£. In Italy it would have cost 5000€ just to register the company. God knows how much tax a software company pays in Italy (which is not the same as a café, which is not the same as a lawyer, which is not the same as a cleaning company, etc…).

I never understand it when I see people say this about Azure. Did you ever try creating a support ticket through the Azure portal? My experience has been nothing but stellar. They respond very fast, they provide very in-depth expert knowledge, and they seem to be quite thorough, escalating any issues if needed. This is my experience with creating tickets for various organizations, both big and small.
What are the good alternatives for an XPS like laptop that runs Linux?
The ESP32 has more memory than the PC linked above.

COM executables were 64KB, and EXE could use as much as they wanted from 512 - 640 KB in multiples of 64 KB, minus the MS-DOS resident size.

Naturally stuff like HMA came later into play with MS-DOS 5, which wasn't something that MS-DOS 3.3, again from the PC above, was capable of.

Or if you prefer, I refer to what was possible with 64 - 128 KB on Timex 2068, Spectrum 128 +3A (with CP/M), Commodore 64 with GeOS,...

Which, yes games would be coded in Assembly, there was business stuff being sold and coded in BASIC, Pascal, Forth,...
Apple may have played games and not kept their word but that's not a good argument against."we shouldn't force companies on a specific connector"

Removing and patents around proprietary connectors would make sense. Forcing companies to publish the specifications of their connectors might help. Picking the most popular and locking it in for who knows how long, not such a good idea..

The dumb thing is you can't choose to do sleep vs hibernate; you have a system global setting which decides what "sleep" means. (AFAIU You need to have two shell scripts sleep.sh and hibernate.sh to change the hibernate mode if you want to be in control on what's gonna happen)

Charging efficiency, speed, and reliability will get better. Wireless debugging will get better and we will forget it was ever buggy.

We will have plates attached to a cable we can attach (magnetic) when we need to charge a drained battery and watch tv.

These are all solvable issues. Wireless makes the most sense moving forward. That is what the EU should be pushing for. The charging/data cable is a backup and not the primary way to charge
Yes! Exactly that is what I am wondering, where the intersection might be. It would be nice to see that in a plot. Thanks for the reply!
If you're happy with that, then the same standard should apply to all apps on their platform.

In reality, Apple adopts exactly the scummy UX practices for their permissions flow during device set up that they go out of their way to prohibit third party developers from using.

They use language such as "share device analytics with Apple" which is broad amd covers pretty much everything while they have mandated under penalty of an App Store Ban, the explicit call out of every single use case of every single permission not just in the permission flow but also on the App Store page.

While here we are, with no idea about the usage of core Apple "Analytics" for the things we know about, leave alone the undocumented data access such as their "Find My" network basically giving them the real world secret peer to peer network to identify everything from all the devices in your immediate neighborhood to every single person you've met within range of their proprietary radios carrying a compatible device.

We don't know, because they refuse to have any transparency into their internal use of their data collection and analytics and id' argue, they can simply slip an update with an undocumented library that sends data off over this network even when you have everything turned off and permissions unconsented to because there is NO PERMISSION CONSENT for the Find my network as a simple example.

"Privacy" from everyone who isn't Apple isn't "Privacy", it's an exploitative commercial practice that disadvantages competitors directly and disenfranchises customers for sheer lack of knowledge of the unknown infinity amount of ways this may be abused right now that we have no way of opting out of or discovering.

EFF is an non-profit activism organisation that stands up for freedom and civil liberties (amongst other things).

So organising a peaceful protest seems to me to be fully within their remit and entirely appropriate?

It’s about as fundamental as you can get when it comes to exercising people’s rights to stand up for what they believe in, peacefully but firmly.

Despite the fact that their areas of focus are in the digital realm, sometimes you can’t beat the power of in-person organising IRL.

Edit: I’d be interested to hear what you think they should be doing that they’re not. (Genuinely, not trying to bait you!)

I don’t see anything wrong with these awareness raising events but what else could they be doing from your perspective?
