As far as Europe is concerned, it's a cheap way to check ridiculous GDPR compliance boxes. I'm not convinced it's any more secure than literally any other instant messenger around, but you can rest assured Microsoft has their papers in order.

In Berlin at least there is a strong correlation between income and access to a car. Poor people take public transit and bike much more. They also tend to live close to major roads and suffer from noise and air pollution much more.

75% of the people with an income below 1500€/month don't have a car in Berlin. Only once you reach 3000€/month income (that's roughly the median income) the majority has access to a car.
Its always fun to watch the big games at the dota leagues (like The International going on atm [0]) and half the players is just taunting and spamming voice lines which are a item you can buy where you play a bit of audio in the game. And it happens at every level of play, from my own games deep in the trench to the highest level of play.

Oh god, this confirms what I've observed visually.

A few times I got into a weird auth bug scenario, where if a window popped up to auth, and I didn't get it right the first time, it would send me into an endless loop of popping out auth windows (while Teams shows me offline). Whether I succeed with auth in the subsequent windows or not, or even whether i just dismiss the window, it doesn't matter. They kept popping up almost instantly again, dragging away window focus from whatever other application window was in focus. Even closing Teams wouldn't help, only reboot would reliably resolve it (though given how few times I've observed it, I didn't bother looking deeper than that into it). And that was on macOS.
Alright, it opens a new window and within that window it opens all the stock photography websites in tabs searching your query. You just browse the tabs and choose your favorite stock photo.
Recommendation engines already take location into account. I doubt the advantage is particularly strong. Of course this is just speculation, I don't have any actual data.

> It shows your immune system what a disease looks like

But it knows! Why should I now train it on a picture if there are live viruses of all the mutations all over around which I have already encountered countless times and keep encountering every day?

I would certainly vaccinate if I were going to an infected place from a place where there is no such virus. Or if the disease was widespread somewhere else and coming to my place while there already was a vaccine.

But I have been living emerged deep in the infection intensively for over 2 years already! I have never even decreased (even increased actually, meeting many new people every day, and nobody wears masks in business) my social interactions, just tested regularly and wore a mask in public transport. I even drank from the same cup with an sick and positive girl once, then self-isolated for some days, tested regularly (incl. in-lab PCR) - all negative, no sickness. And even lab tests objectively show I have been maintaining high level of antibodies for already a year (which suggests they are renewing given regular contact). How can we possibly suspect my immune system still has not enough clue and an instruction can be better than what it already knows?

> apply iterative mutations to the best solutions in order to find a successful match.

But I apparently applied very successful matches to every mutation!

> What in the world do you think a vaccine is? Vaccine-based immunity is natural immunity.

To something specific, more precisely - a specific model (not even a real object) isn't it?

I don’t do technical interviews for roles anymore, and I would probably do poorly on the board. However, I have a lot of experience leading engineering teams at startups and I have designed and built the underlying systems for a handful of successful businesses; one of them just grew to over $100M/yr revenue in the past year. The individuals in my professional network value that, and that is how I keep myself employed.

I agree with you on being able to find the same quality of talent outside of the Bay Area. When I hire, I don’t even restrict myself to the same timezone. Some of the best people I have worked with live in Europe.

Are the robots bulletproof? Watching the very short video I didn't get the impression they are. Because they move very smoothly, and they would have to be very light weight for motors that size to acomplish that smoothness reliably. (I am a random layman)
The Office org and DevDiv (Visual Studio) orgs in Microsoft are worlds apart with little communication between them at that level. (Why do you think Office still lives and breathes VB6-era VBA?)
Wow, that is crazy. It seems to rely on having the headers mapped into the address space of the process they describe, is that behavior specified somewhere?

When I've worked with loading ELFs, in embedded contexts, the loader just used the headers for itself, but they never ended up in the final code being run so a trick like this would just crash. Interesting.
Even weirder than that, Microsoft is the maintainer of React Native for Windows and macOS. Why do none of Microsoft's other DevTools teams seem to know this?
The standard reply to that question is "Microsfot is a big company and each team is in control of which frameworks they want to use".

Yeah I get your point, and think about it every time I start an Electron based installer to customise Visual Studio installation.

> exactly how you form opinions everyday without having deep knowledge of a given domain

Go out and talk to a lot of people.

A decent chunk of the population form bad opinions about a lot of things and hold them until they die.

Thinking is hard, learning/researching is exhausting, a lot of people will, amusingly, work very hard to avoid it :-)
I have the same issue with the android client. Sometimes it just keeps refreshing forever. Nothing less than a reboot of the phone works.
There is no 'native' Mac app. Also everyone I've worked with at MS uses Teams in the browser. So I suspect not many at MS even use the desktop app.

I'd be inclined to fire them for not doing what they're being paid for. I mean don't get me wrong, every company should have allotted time for experimentation, but not to this degree. And it should not be adopted either, that would be sunk cost fallacy.

If they wants to do Rust so badly, that's fine but they're now a trainer and need to teach the language to everyone involved and share responsibility of the new codebase. And if the other developers don't want to, then the developer needs to find a new job real fast.
There has been MANY cases of FDA having approved then withdrawn medicines for their side-effects that were realized later though.
Tübingen is also, due to its topography, not really suited for too many cars in the city. Little space, river, hills, old and narrow streets. There's a lot of work being done to make it more friendly to cyclists and expanding public transport. Alas, the proposed tram was something too few people wanted.
Using global emissions is a neat trick here, because globally almost everyone can't afford a car.
Microsoft never puts tabs in their UIs. Examples: Entire Office suite, Explorer (which still has no tabs, even in Windows 11) or literally anything except the web browser, which has tabs because Opera.
If I really need a book memorized:

1. I read it

2. Reread it while highlighting the key passages. A huuge percentage of a book is non-critical - either filler or argumentation. You read the argumentation on the first pass and make a decision, and only pick the passages you accept.

3. Read only the highlighted parts.

Use spaced repetition, of course, and you can reread the key parts several times.

I think 2x less is meant to be read as 'decreased by a factor of 2'. The less indicating that the factor is shrinkage instead of growth.

Technically 2x less could be the opposite of 2x more, and technically 2x more means 3 times as much. Really what I think this shows is that it is much nicer to talk about factors than it is to talk about relative in/de-creases.
I seriously doubt those numbers (-50% fuel, energy harvesting by driving behind a truck) AND you are giving incentive to try dangerous driving.

Please either back those numbers up with evidence or remove them for the sake of road safety.
Plus the break-even for an EV vs ICE car is around the 100,000k mark, if I recall correctly, due to the energy required to build the battery in the EV.

So: it’s complicated. It’d take me over ten years to do 100,000 kilometres, so probably the best car is the one I already have.
By replacing the file on disk (you need to have the capability of acquiring access to the server)
There are alternative devices ( although the remarkables are considered to be among the best for note taking), each with their own drawbacks and advantages. For instance the Onyx Booxes come in different sizes, are full fledged Androids so you can install anything you want( so great for reading whatever), note taking is pretty good, but the company violates the GPL. The PineNote is open source and will run Linux, but development versions should come out later this year, so it's not exactly close to being ready.

So if you look around you'll probably find a similar device with the tradeoffs you're willing to make.
I guess the layer limitations is due to the iPad model. iPad pro with 6gb ram can support more layers than the other models with 4gb ram.
Personally, I am more on the introverted side but I would still like to return to office at least some of the time. It is far easier to zone out at the office. At the house, the 4-year old can be hard to tune out. Right now, a couple of friends of my wife are around and they are talking loudly and I can't tune it out and it would be rude to ask them to tone it down. It is far easier to be rude to co-workers than to your family.
I was on a team this summer that used Teams, and although many people there lamented their loss of Slack, I didn't think there was a big deal. In fact, I was surprised how well Teams was performing, considering the last time I used it it was a pig.

Then I hopped in to Task Manager, and it turned out my issued laptop had 64GB of RAM. Well, that explains that.
That much is definitely true and it's indeed interesting to see the many approaches to maps!

Now, personally, I'd still go for using a tile server in most cases in apps where the map functionality isn't the main part of the app, because of how simple that approach is, as well as how friendly to battery life those maps can be.

Of course, if maps are front and center to your app, then things probably change somewhat!

Though i do believe that OP was also particularly asking about how to host their own solution, presumably on a VPS or another server somewhere. In that regard, it's interesting to see the options out there, in part because there didn't used to be that many - sure, PostGIS is perfect for processing and storing geospatial data, yet when it comes to the display of maps, that niche of the industry is a little bit more new!

Teams on Linux is a massive pile of shit. It's definitely a second class citizen as far as development and is missing heaps of features the other versions have.
That works for simple text input stuff, but not when you want a more complex or custom GUI like the second example.
You're fighting against such an ingrained level of belief in one's superiority that's it's almost impossible. The US, especially.
I'm so confused by teams 2. I thought teams 2 was the conversion from angular + react to react only?
I don't like the tone of the headline demonizing Electron. I think if you flip it you have the incredible headline of "Electron allowed Microsoft to grow to 250M users for Teams", which paints the IMHO correct light into how Electron has played the role of growing Teams from 0 to where it is now. And only now that it has proven tremendous success, and to extract more of juice on performance for lower-end devices, it's being switched to a custom-built engine by investing massive resources into it. So Electron has served its purpose greatly in here IMHO.
It reduces but does not eliminate storage.

You’ll still have some windless nights, but enough overproduction means that you don’t have to worry about mere cloudy days or low-wind periods — One suggestion in another comment was needing weeks of storage, and overproduction can reduce that to a day of storage, perhaps even less.
These are almost like flags. Especially so you could select the colourmap based on the countries national flag.

No, it's not. Putting away repeat offenders requires to know who are they. It helps victims to have a report they can use for insurance claims, etc.

There's a field in the header for the offset of the loadable segment in the file. This binary sets that offset to zero, so the kernel loads the entire file into memory, headers and all.
I want to comment on something she just mentioned in passing, and that is the idea that reading sports statistics is beneficial because it is somehow "mathematical". This is a really old idea and seems to eventually come up in any discussion about getting boys interested in math. In truth, I don't see any way in which reading performance stats involves the kind of model building needed to solve math story problems.

I am not a fan of the idea of blockchain based dids. Using centralized apis to access blockchains is kind of missing the point for me. And if your browser has to support 29 random blockchains for different did methods there is no way around it.

did:key, did:peer, did:web (maybe did:keri as well but I’m not sure I understand what the transport layer is) for me would be enough for did 1.0. Let’s get those working and we can see about adding blockchain based in a couple of decades.

I like yad[0] for this. For example, I use it to present a GUI color picker to change/insert colors in Vim (via a plugin called vCoolor[1]). I also use it in some i3/sway scripts that need user input or to show a progress bar.

Used Teams because a company I contracted for heavily used it internally.

I would pay not to use it.

Their 'native' apps don't even try to integrate with the OS - so you get custom notifications and stuff.

The UI also is super laggy and slow.
A QEMU case study in grappling with software complexity
While I hear what you're saying, if everyone was like that, who would be left to maintain existing systems?

In my limited experience, it takes up to 3 years to go from the start of a project to it being in a maintenance state. A lot of developers (consultants, self-employed, etc) have jumped ship before that, often around the two year mark.

So there's two - three years of work, it's 90% done, it's nearly ready to go into production... then what? Who does the actual work? Who does the maintenance?

I think anyone that picks a technology stack and architecture should stay long enough at a company working on it until they fully understand the consequences of their decisions. Too many people jump from one hype technology to the next, one greenfield start of a project to the other, but never have to deal with their own code and decisions ten years down the line.

And you KNOW a lot of software has a lifetime of at least a decade, sometimes / often more. There's critical systems that are still running with the decisions of a previous generation of developers, people who are now being asked to come back from retirement to maintain their old systems.

You can't call yourself a senior (or serious) developer if you've never had to deal with the consequences of your own actions.
> It lets you taunt[1], spray paint[2] and high five your teammate

Never played a lot of MOBAs, but those are usually all canned interactions provided by the game devs, are they? As such I imagine they have a different impact than an actual chat message that you know your opponent just thought up.

It's like spamming stickers in telegram vs having an actual conversation there.
> Battery manufacturing life-cycle emissions debt is quickly paid off. An electric vehicle’s higher emissions during the manufacturing stage are paid off after only 2 years compared to driving an average conventional vehicle, a time frame that drops to about one and a half years if the car is charged using renewable energy. Approximately half of a battery’s emissions come from electricity used in the manufacturing process

From https://theicct.org/sites/default/files/publications/EV-life...

The important takeaway is that greener electricity grid will help both the emissions from manufacturing, as well as emissions from usage
Interesting thought.

I'm not at all into the proper side of science, but one thing that strikes me is that since conception doesn't have to lead to a child being born [1], celebrating the final more obvious "success case" makes more sense to me.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscarriage
About a year after the college prank, I was recounting the incident to a helpdesk coworker on a relatively quiet Saturday. He refused to believe that "net send" even existed, and dared me to do it. So I did, the content of that message being a rather tame "This is a test message, press OK to close."

He was on phones, got about twenty calls including one from a VP - with even more popping in throughout the following week as people returned to workstations to see the dialog. We were able to play it off as "testing the network" (not wrong I suppose), but our manager was a responsible sort and had it blocked with a group policy shortly after.
It isn't just humility as many such measures are by nature precautionary without any basis in facts at all. Certainty is certainly wrong, especially when we are talking about risk management. That will affect the message negatively.
The upside of having a monorepo with just one version of everything is that all the code is compatible with each other and easy to understand across projects.

Among other things it prevents diamond-dependency problem and other dependency issues. Google binaries are already regularly hitting the upper size limits for linker. If you needed to link 5 versions of each library it would greatly exacerbate the problem.

Having a monorepo also greatly benefits maintaining security. You only need to fix a security issue in the trunk, and the fix will automatically be applied in every binary that uses your library upon its next rollout.

> all to optimize consumer behavior to boost ad revenue.

I've been working for Google for more than 12 years and never ever have I thought about optimizing ad revenue. Not just that, but I also never heard about this consideration in any meeting that I attended over the years.

> Did I mention the report was commissioned, in part, by Google? (End of Aside.)

I don't see how this in any way invalidates the conclusion. It's not like this report was commissioned for marketing purposes.

> note git is not allowed at Google

This is very misleading. All Google open source projects, including Chromium, AOSP and all of github.com/google use git. What is not supported is a git frontend to the internal VCS. This is mostly due to the fact that support of any additional tool required staffing, so only a limited number of configurations/tools can be supported.
Yeah I have been thinking of doing this. I was thinking of going to Nevada or another state without capital gains to finally start cashing out.
How do you backup the SQLite?

I used to rsync them, but when traffic picked up, I started to fear an inconsistent copy (rsync does verify at the end there are no new changes, and restarts - but i don’t know the exact strategy so I am wear if relying on it).

I switched to doing .backup and rsync that instead - but am considering switching to litestream instead.
Reading the comment I was confused as well - it sounds as if the user provides his banking login to the merchant as part of the checkout process. However they mean that the transaction has to be approved via banking app, not unlike a 2FA authenticator app.
>>>Imagine playing casual pick-up basketball in the park on a team of 5, and you try one play that doesn’t quite work, and your teammates first reaction is to go “Wow you must really suck at basketball to try that!” Or: “Go home and quit, dumbass.” You’d probably feel a little bad, but also just never want to play with that group again. Now imagine 70% of all basketball games you try to play have people yelling at you like that. You’d probably just quit trying to play basketball.

Have you ever played spades, dominos, or hearts? Shit-talking is absolutely part of the experience. Someone who complains about the shit-talking is unlikely to be invited to pull up a chair again. That said, shit-talking is an artform, and simplistic adolescent insults ("Fvk your mother, $ethnicSlur!") are equally frowned upon. I dunno....I'm not sure when our culture got to a point where people couldn't handle regular vitriol with a laconic smile and some verbal barbs of their own. Do they not teach "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me." to kids anymore?
It's not as bad as all that. The last sentence: "On Saturday the government reached its target, set for the end of September, of fully vaccinating 80% of people above the age of 12." Nine days late. Seeing how vaccination is slowing down, they may reach 90% only around Christmas, which is late, but is also 90%.
