One benefit I can think of is that you might be willing to pay to sit somewhere but not actually want to purchase food or drinks. I put on weight very easily and whenever I go to a Cafe or even a quiet McDonalds to use the free wifi, I always end up consuming more calories than I should. I have very little will power and that coupled with feeling the obligation to buy something at least once per hour isn't necessarily a healthy combination of factors for me.
I like the idea of a mix between working and cafe, in the sense that I would expect such a place to be nicer to work in than any random coffee shop while still having the same amenities. But I do wonder if this is not more expensive in the end. And just as some people may get anxious because they feel they would have to order something again at a normal coffee shop, I would get really anxious there just by time passing.

> In the future, perhaps this mode will work as well as S3 used to for battery life, but finding your laptop fans on while it's closed inside your bag and getting really hot is not fun. This applies to lots of laptops currently.

Modern standby was designed for ARM-based Windows 10 Mobile initially, but I do feel that Intel had plead to Microsoft to allow them to implement it too. Regardless, even the best Intel cores (except for their clean-room Atom designs, not all Atom-branded CPUs have these) runs hot that it's a disgrace that Microsoft haven't insisted on requiring S3 sleep.
I’m a painter working in traditional mediums (mostly acrylics and charcoal/pastels) but also previously worked as a engineer and researcher in the computer graphics industry developing tools for 3d artists (incl at Disney and Pixar).

Currently focusing on my painting practice in Hawaii :), and may bring tech-art together again in the future. You can find my work at https://www.artofxinyi.com or on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/artofxinyi

Many of my paintings are inspired by nature and touches upon aspects of spirituality - including themes of transformation and change, death and renewal.

Yes, the font you use to communicate with others matters. It's like the tone of your voice and your body language in a personal conversation.
I like the way Kotlin does it:
listOf(1, 2, 3) setOf(1, 2, 3) arrayOf(1, 2, 3)
See https://status.arxiv.org/#update-50208664 and https://twitter.com/arxiv/status/1448587536205500416
Because if someone complains about you it is because they feel you did them some wrong. You should try to lead your life not making others think you are offending them because society as a whole is better when people are happy and not pissed off.
For me, it has to have a matte screen. So I can work outside.

Even in an office setting, I find matte displays way more comfortable.

You say:

Stylus or touch-screen that doesn't glare

I have yet to see a touchscreen with a matte display. Is it even possible?
1. The risks of vaccination are minuscule, so for most people, there's no reason not to get vaccinated.

2. Some countries treat people with proof of prior infection the same as vaccinated people. I would approach this practically. From what I understand, natural immunity is more variable than vaccine-acquired immunity, so maybe people with low antibody titers should not be treated as immune unless they get vaccinated.
>Design patterns are not features missing from a toolkit or language. This is perhaps the biggest miscomprehension regarding design patterns.

It's relatively popular opinion that some design patterns are used because some languages lack some features that can achieve similar stuff in "better" way.

So what's design pattern in your opinion?

For me design pattern is just approach to some specific problem, very often connected with some $implementation_example in order to communicate more effectively.

Design pattern's purpose is to improve communication by naming solutions to "common" problems.

XPS 13 currently, and probably next as well. I look for:

- track record of linux compatibility. If it's Windows or out, I'm out.

- good keyboard.

- good screen, > 1920x1080 although 4K is overkill, preferably 16:10.

Macbooks look tempting, but I just don't trust Apple to not break any workflow that isn't editing videos about how great Apple products are. The current keys are good but - sorry, the (pre-butterfly!) keyboard on my OH's MBP is awful, easily the worst keyboard I've ever used on a >$1000 laptop.
The NECC's Reed said another problem was that just 1% of policing resources were dedicated to fighting fraud, despite it making up over a third of all crime in England and Wales.

Is at least one major cause of the problem. The police and government's response has been pathetic. This is not a new thing either, it's been going on for years.
“Trusting the science” AS A FACTUAL BASIS requires a trustable process that is clearly documentable, repeatable, recreatable, reprovable, and verifiable.

Anything else not factual may be called “science”, “healthy skepticism“, or “common knowledge”; and that is easily misguidable by the few in the know.

Looking at you, PolSci, Econ101, and pyschobabble.
No, it's awesome in this aspect. I want one. But it's both US-only (AFAIK, I may be wrong) and pre-order. So I would have to both deal with the customs (extra time, money and papers overhead) and wait long.
Personally I resist the idea that a brand owns my attention because I used a keyword

What kind of keyword are you referring to here? Because brands do own certain keywords, they're called trademarks. If you don't want a brand to feel entitled to your attention, don't include registered trademarks in your search query.

(Yes, I know, trademarks are limited to a specific market segment. Doesn't invalidate the basic premise of searching on trademarks though).
Those were the days. It is alas impossible for us today to experience the world view and internal mental states of these early polymaths. They were swimming in (and pressumably got very excited from) a sense of explainable and actionable magic where a combination of rational thinking and the use of various artifacts revealed the inner workings of the universe. That mix of the scientific and magical lasted quite a bit longer (famously Newton was an alchemist).

Today the extreme specialization and sophistication of scientific silos means the excitement of "probing the universe" has become very remote. When looking around we assume (and it is generally true) that practically anything that happens fits in a neat scientific bucket that somebody is on top of.
Unless the price per hour is very cheap, I’d rather pay for the coffee. There are a few work cafés around me that really don’t care if you stay 6 hours and only purchase a granola bar.
Should we be more forgiving of harm done by faulty algorithms than by negligent human beings?

> Weather affects all airlines equally.

Nah. Storms are often highly localized, and different airlines have different cities they fly a lot through. A nasty storm cloud over Miami might not interrupt flights over Fort Lauderdale.

Weather over Chicago is gonna screw up ops for United. Weather over Atlanta will fuck up Delta.

> The Florida explanation doesn't make sense because my parents also had issues going from CA to Oregon. Occam’s razor.

> I have two 50K+ LOC projects using esbuild, and I would use it even if it was slower than webpack/babel/tsc simply not to worry about the build chain breaking due to an update to some obscure dependency or plugin.

This was the reason that Phoenix 1.6 switched away from webpack to esbuild, apparently half the reported issues were webpack related!
Where did it blow away to? What you're describing sounds to me like a plume of radioactive dust drifting across and mostly settling on a huge area down wind of the lake. Who lives there, or eats agricultural produce from there?
Hell, half of the time (pre-covid) I/we used to end up in conversations with the propietor during these slower times and we'd catch up on how things were going.

Once you find a place you like, it's not like most people are just anonymous singletons coming in and ordering a coffee and taking up a table for a whole day. You keep the place busy during slow periods, other people see the place has custom, and depending on what's there you'll invite friends or other people over or drop by at other times for meals.

On the weekends or during particular busy times, sure. But usually you need lunch or dinner during those times as well, or you'll invite people for those times.

The successful cafes around here got quite skilled at appealing to the different groups and swinging demands throughout the day. The after-work crowd is different from the workday crowd is different from the tourists and the weekenders is different from the locals, and you need to keep all of them happy to keep the place ticking over and remain profitable. It's not just a substitution between all types of customers...
> What is your agenda?

I just like Hetzner a lot and instantly recognized the pricing hardware tiering structure. I was a bit suspicious how the could sell it cheaper per month as Hetzner (which excited me) until I noticed that by monthly they mean when you shut down your machine every night.

I also couldn't find anything on their website that says where they are hosting it.

As I like Hetzner fan I am sad that there wasn't a reference to Hetzner. The website to me advertises Hetzner Clouds features a lot more then service they provide on top.

Hetzner is a good place and I also used that fact in another reply to say that this service is not unrealiable because it runs on someones else's infrastructure.

I think that the person considering subscribing should know it runs on Hetzner as that has Latency implications of the services are in Gunzenhausen, Falkenstein or Helsinki. Hetzner is also a regional company for me as I lived quiet close to them

> Have you actually read the definition(s) of the singleton pattern? E.g. Wikipedia: "In software engineering, the singleton pattern is a software design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to one "single" instance."

Yes, I did. I also know what a singleton is, and the whole point it's a thing. Did you read my explanation were I pointed out your misconceptions?

> Also, make sure to read the criticism on the Wikipedia page - I think the criticism there is enough to classify it as an antipattern,

You should first take your own advice into consideration and first read your sources before citing them. If you did before succumbing to your appeal to authority, you would have noticed the fact that your whole argument that singletons supposedly were an anti-pattern is what, and I quote, "it is frequently used in scenarios where it is not beneficial" because of the global state. Do you understand the problem with the way you're trying to generalize an assertion, specially given that enforcing a global state is often the whole point of using a singleton? If you fail to understand how/why/when a technique is used, that does not make it an anti-pattern.

In Paris and other French cities, you have "game cafés", where you pay per hour (or you buy food which is worth a "1-hour ticket"), and they bring you the games, so you don't have to own them. Good for trying out new games (which they of course sell you, if you want to take home), but neither free food nor free time.

Otherwise, some places have public "ludothèques" for playing board games, like public libraries; but these are non-profit associations, and they usually don't sell anything.

You know you are getting old when you watch the arrival of the fourth JavaScript build tool of your career. I still remember when everyone was waving goodbye to Gulp in favour of Webpack. Webpack was going to save us all from the hell of massive convoluted gulp.js files. Fast forward five years and it's the same mess it was supposed to avoid. Slow, bloated and confusing.

I just switched to esbuild on our main project and the build time went from 7 minutes on CI to 1 second. Kinda stupid really. Anyway, here's to the future, let's hope it works out this time!
>Should we "assume the best" by assuming this was taken down by AI, and without human check?

Isn't that exactly the problem?

Social media platforms' business models depend on not being able to moderate all content. Examples like this are an inevitability of the concept.
The other problem is that this statistic is nearly meaningless. If I run a bank scam, I might have 500k victims, but it won't take as many police to investigate as 500k rapes or murders or kidnappings would. This is comparing apples with oranges.
Considering OP lists touch or pen as a requirement (4.) the macbook is not an option.
Not to mention that a macbook pro with 16GB ram and more than base storage starts at $1700. Sure, it might be good but at that prices it better be.

Out of interest how bad is the compatibility of the M1 macbooks with other OSs? That might be a dealbreaker as well.

Britain being where the victims are, not the criminals.

Some reasons why Brits might be so so vulnerable:

* Major: English speaking so common to be targeted from less affluent ex-commonwealth countries.

* Major: Ageing population have most of the wealth.

* Major: Lots of vulnerable victims online and relatively high social media engagement.

* Major: Little fear of retaliation (other than Jim Browning). The UK is having less of an engagement in global policing (due to leaving Brexit) and has less reach as a consequence

* Minor: Degrading international relations. Less empathy shown towards Brits due to somewhat inward looking foreign policies over the past decades.

* Minor: Growing economic disparity causing a glut of "get rich quick" victims.

Honestly I think Jim Browning is showing how this problem is solved and is probably having a 100x impact over the average bank worker. The Banks should be funding him and others like him.

For those that don't know who Jim is, he does awesome work in identifying scammers and working with the local / relevant authorities into shutting their services down.

If the hash function does its job at mixing input, this is no different than applying just the final hash.

(With the technical caveat that doing at least two serial hashes does improve the properties of the hash function by defending against length extension attacks. That's why things like HMAC do multiple chained hashes. But it does zilch for collision or preimage resistance.
esbuild is a pleasure to use. Because of its speed you no longer need to separate test/release build for simple libraries. I am using esbuild for transpiling my new TypeScript projects.

Unicorn type person working in games here.

Engineering, design, art, music, etc.

Zero function.

Wait for it to start, wait for the comma, wait because now I’ve learned to wait, realize there’s nothing more to wait for, scroll thru meaningless verbiage that could fit in one screen, wait again to see if more will appear, scroll & bounce to elicit more, spend time tapping around for meaningful content, realize there’s nothing actually there.
That's a very good workaround on OpenSSL-based systems, although it's kind-of moot now since if you can update the IdenTrust/DST root, you could simply also remove it and add ISRG's roots.
> One solution that I will try is to install a headless Syncthing instance on my NAS

Practically what happens if you're defrauded is your local police force will direct you to Action Fraud (https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/) run by the City of London, who will note it down for "intelligence" but otherwise appear to do nothing whatsoever.

Anyone that is comfortable and familiar with their toolset (e.g. go, .NET, Java, C++) and has a deep understanding of a problem (and has likely solved it once already), can churn out code far, far, faster than an onlooker.

> I've been thinking about solving the backup part by letting one of the devices perform btrfs snapshots on its storage.

I do zfs snapshots on my storage server (home desktop), which is in Syncthing's "receive only" mode. I use it to sync my camera roll and Whatsapp media files from my Android phone. I use pyznap for snapshot management.

> Setting up a cron job / timer unit that commits the synced folder to a git repo is also an alternative

Another option would be to backup the synced folder using a backup tool like borg, restic, duplicacy etc. They have options to prune the snapshots.
