VSCode's remote editing extension is the killer feature.

The only thing that comes close is TRAMP in emacs, but unfortunately since emacs is single threaded, any network blips means the UI is blocked.
Never got around to learning Prolog, even though I was always interested. what would be a good excuse to do so now?
All of the EU. It's a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Beer alcoholics can be fat, hard liquor not gonna happen.
A certain amount of regulation runs the risk of leaving us in a situation where a competitive moat is established between companies large enough to handle the regulatory burden and everyone else for whom it represents an unsurpassable barrier between them and the EU market. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to find that large tech companies are encouraging “just so” regulation of this sort.

[I do not speak for my employer.]
I should also note that modern Visual Studio is way too heavy. Just compare it with another leader of commercial IDEs - JetBrains. Now, with latest Clion and Rider they rival VS while being more modern and sleeker. Not to say they are crossplatform.

Sure. There is just one thing though: we tend to treat companies like people. So e.g. if they say something today, we expect it to be valid also tomorrow. We also tend to expect them to behave in a way humans do, that is, if they present a certain vision, we somehow expect they would follow. And if they follow certain steps, we assume they walk the talk and give them credit for that.

But the reality is much more complex. You have competing teams of individuals each with their own interests. You have managers who come and go. You have sudden decisions that change everything during one afternoon. As an employee, you believe in something only to discover a few months later you were in fact mistaken.

I'm not cynical, but the best strategy is to be realistic. We all know Microsoft will do everything in their own interest and they are not basically different from any other company. That's a fact. Whatever they say about their love for Linux or Open Source is correct as long as it benefits them, not an inch more. Whoever goes in their way will be mercilessly crushed, as happened in numerous companies in the past like Lotus, Novell, Borland and so many others. Don't build your business based on their products, and if you do, have a backup-up plan and an exit strategy ready.

rss does bring value to publishers: viewers/listeners. that publishers want more than that is a separate issue.
From my personal experience in my social circle, I agree. It's a tougher problem too than drinking, because food is everywhere.

Ha. Its Science-ish!
I have ADHD as well as a few of my colleagues(we talk about it pretty openly, which is also great, but likely belongs on another thread). A lot of folks on the ADHD spectrum have chosen to RTO early in my group, due to the things you've mentioned. It's not just meetings. The ADHD people usually will report things like, it's easier to stay focused on code in the office, with few distractions. Though, tbh, the office right now for me is a dream - we're at voluntary RTO. There's 20% occupancy, it's very quiet, no home distractions, and sets the scene change my ADHD needs to remind my brain it's at work.

I agree that there's so many different ways to work, that one modality is never going to make everyone happy.

its surprising. I thought that was a key point of them. Granted the standardized sizes and construction standards is probably the most important thing. But once you have that the next logical benefit is to treat them as fungible commodities, like digits in an account.

Perhaps in normal times they are, but when the flow equilibrium is disrupted suddenly the discretized reality pokes its head through.
Each beer is like 300 to 400 calories. And then you eat bar food when you're drunk which is not known as the worlds healthiest.
Really depends on how much alcohol and if it progresses. If you’re day drinking, binging, and kindling your brain you’re kinda fucked.

Annoying hangovers turn into getting withdrawals for days after having 2 drinks. That’s when the real alcoholism starts.
I don't think there is a single theory to explain everything, for example, if I needed comics to explain everything I read or see I would probably feel extreme depression and self loathing too.

I am a big fan of RSS one of the reasons (alluded to by this article) is the type of content that tends to get exposed via RSS.

Frequently the type of content that gets syndicated via RSS is long form and non-commercial.

It turns out that these two properties produce a pretty good signal to noise ratio which filters out precisely the kind of trash that has ruined the web over the last decade or two (long form content at least has the possibility of teaching you something or presenting an idea with some kind of rigor; and since RSS isn't great at monetization, the worst offenders in media tend to deprioritize it).

Of course RSS is a very imprecise filter, but it's basically the antithesis of a Twitter or Facebook feed, where everything is short form and you tend to see whatever serves the platform's commercial interests (i.e. their definition of engagement).

This matters to me because at a certain point I realized -- I have basically never read anything short form on social media which enriched me in a meaningful way.

I have learned a lot from studies, reference works, long form analysis, and books -- basically all the quality knowledge I possess has come from one of these sources.

At best social media has given me occasional links to these things (scattered among an ocean of junk information).

It's mostly because of how RSS originated with blogs I guess, and who was involved in designing it. But for whatever reason it has been far more valuable to me than any other form of content syndication online.
This is probably 10 years old at this point, but nothing seems to have changed:

For some reason Western directors like to show bullet impacts e.g. shooting bottles, hats or just wood planks. This could be easier to do with real bullets.

It's also possible they brought in guns from an unrelated activity (e.g. cowboy action shooting) and failed to check them properly.

Sasol of South Africa has made liquid fuels via the Fischer-Tropsch process for decades. The synthesis gas comes from coal or natural gas. Clean synthesis gas from water, CO2, and clean electricity should be a drop-in replacement for fossil derived syngas. But it's relatively expensive to make liquid fuels this way even when starting with cheap coal. I only expect synfuels to be used for performance critical applications and niches like keeping collectible classic cars running.

Movie sets never use actual live bullets. But they do use dummy bullets sometimes (to show loading or unloading). And if a piece of one of those is still in the barrel when a blank goes off it becomes a real bullet. That's what happened to Brandon Lee and may have happened here.

Seems like a pretty simple fix would be to say that no prop gun that touches a dummy bullet ever touches a blank. Maybe even rig them ahead of time somehow so that it's impossible to load one in the other.
What about the whole correlation does not equal causation thing?

Given:
They're saying they drink to deal with their symptoms. The symptoms get worse when they drink.

The study concludes:
Drinking makes it worse.

But the other option is: Their symptoms would have been even worse without the drinking.

I'm not saying hypothesis is correct, just that the article didn't mention the study addressing it. Unless I missed it.
Conti announcement about REvil server takedown by US Government
Even if it's explicit policy at a company that employees can expense a text editor or IDE, a large proportion of people will still never bother. I saw the "Please buy Sublime Text!" pop-up all the time at my last job, and that was at a small startup where everyone knew the company was happy to pay for it.
There are a few scenarios where it breaks. UWP and Xamarin is dicey. Ironically, it hasn’t been able to edit android layouts involving ConstraintLayout and a few other common layouts/views for a few releases now (ironic because they also make Android studio, which has best in class android layout editing).

Visual Studio is great for the common platforms/languages, but as soon as you try going cross platform or adding unloved platforms (UWP, Xamarin) it gets bad. Unfortunately, those also happen to be the things Rider is bad at.

Blanks typically contain wadding to hold the powder in place; this wadding is ejected from the gun and can, at short range, kill people. This has famously happened on several film sets before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blank_(cartridge)#Safety
I understand what you mean, of course. I am not sure if anti-dumping was ever applied to products given away for free with zero unit cost economics. If applied incorrectly, Apple and Microsoft could argue that Linux and Linux-based OSes being free is illegal!

I agree that you do need some form of first stage that can take the traffic volume (usually a third party service, but could also be 100+ Gbps of bandwidth you get somewhere and an appliance that can do IP filtering), no good way around that.

But once you have that, you should be able to tell them "forward me all traffic except <list of IPs>" and then list the IPs that are sending you the most (remaining) traffic, or even cost (e.g. if the IP is sending little traffic, but performing many TLS handshakes). That's where a fail2ban like tool would come in, no?

The benefit of this approach is that it works completely independently of the protocol you're running. TCP, UDP, doesn't matter, as long as the attacker cannot spoof IP addresses at scale.
Yup. Browser features have reached the point of diminishing returns for me some time ago.

I've felt the benefits of Microsoft's OSS push over the last decade, and I've been an advocate for their work. As such, I've never felt the need to run VSCodium, and I've been OK with sending Microsoft telemetry from my VSCode install (though I would prefer it was opt-in, rather than opt-out).

But now they are trying to have their cake and eat it too - they want to keep up the "developers, developers, developers" mantra, because they can deeply their tooling with Azure and nudge devs in it's direction. But they also still want to maximise revenue from their commercial IDE, Visual Studio. And as a result, they are half-arsing both goals, a strategy that is absolutely doomed.

And you know what, for a feature like `dotnet watch`, it's just so completely unnecessary, as VS would still be a very different and vastly more capable IDE than VSCode. This really feels like some high-head in the background is pulling new strings, and I really don't like it.

I'm also 100% certain that if `dotnet watch` is discontinued, someone will reverse engineer it (very easy with dotnet!) and release it as a third party dotnet global tool, which makes this whole situation even more pointless.

I hope VSCodium does start to add in functionality that Microsoft is trying to keep for themselves, starting with the dotnet watch code that was written and not merged - extra functionality would be a very compelling reason to use VSCodium.
If you want to make CSS make sense read about its history, it isn't sensless its just layers on layers of really old tech used for someting completely different than what it was designed for.

If this is true, unless they get fined in the order of $200B it won't matter and whoever made the decisions will get promoted within both companies. Snapchat lost ~25% of their market value and other companies that did not collude probably also lost a lot.

The chaos I'm getting with vcpkg at present seems to say not! I love the idea of vcpkg and it used to make life so much easier as I gave my students a list of packages to install for their homework and all was fine. Recently packages seem to get updated and break, there is no "easy" way to specify versions of packages. And in general it takes months to fix simple bugs. There seems to be over 1K issues at present. I know it's a difficult project but still could be done better.
And why is the company EU-only? What X-only company is trying to compete with Google anyways?
Mostly yes. I found I had more time and energy to take care of all the things in life that need constant maintenance like cars and motorcycles, housework, lawncare and my body. Basically everything in my life got objectively better, but subjectively I had to face my demons and issues soberly, and that is not easy. This is the abyss that I think people avoid staring into that makes them take the substances. And it very real and very dark I will say. The grass isn't necessarily greener on the sober side, but it is certainly healthier. I do still waste my time when I don't have energy or will to do something productive on things like videogames or zoning out watching twitch or youtube.
Maybe I'm biased, but I have lower trust for studies with results like that.

Alcohol obviously reduces anxiety short-term, because of its effect on GABA signalling.

Alcohol can excarbate anxiety in long-term.

But there is catch - there are therapeutic drugs that have similar effect, benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines can be misused (and make recovery from anxiety harder) and can be used for therapeutic purposes to improve patient's quality of life.

Obviously, benzodiazepines are more selective (ethanol affects nearly every system in brain), but I would expect that moderate and rare drinking to cope with single stressful event can be moderately beneficial, but drinking to deal with "stressful live" would be heavily detrimental.
Not just most Tesla drivers, but most people in general have these things.

The recurring theme is just how terrible high tech people are at estimating what’s normal in the world.

The overwhelming majority of people don’t think or care about the privacy concerns of either. The overwhelming majority of Tesla drivers are not privacy oriented tech nerds.
Outside of airbags and structural/material improvements, most of that hasn't actually contributed much to safety.

Many brands have also seen a big decline in reliability and quality of craftsmanship. In fact Tesla's high-end models still don't match the quality control of Toyota's most basic cars. Sure tech has improved but construction and longevity has taken a hit.
It seems you are assuming I respond this way no matter what and slare simply pushing your understanding/interpretation as truth. Instead of saying that it's just one side and that if I don't see it now, then I never will, maybe you could give detailed examples? I did ask before if there was any evidence that only one side proposed legislation, yet there was no response. So it should not be that there is a free pass by eliminating opposition, but rather ensuring that any opposition is well based in facts and proven beyond a reasonable doubt (which can vary substantially).

You mention things like bullying, political violence, etc. Yet I see that sort of thing with both sides on a variety of issues. It's also important to note that in many cases the troublemakers are a very small minority and do not represent the true virtues of any movement. Yet we see the media portray the "other" side using those worst aspects rather than having a meaningful discussion.
Perfection shouldn’t be the enemy of improvement.
I’m not sure that Assange broke any laws: most apply to government employees and contractors (he’s never been either) and in general only to citizens and residents of that country (same); international laws are rare, and I can’t think of any related to espionage.

The press tries to redact private information that is not relevant for their stories out of compassion (and it’s universally seen as a good thing) but it’s not always clear that they have a legal duty to do so. The one case that I know is illegal _in the US_ is to reveal the name of a CIA agent, but a most other information revealed by Wikileaks falls under fairly standard First amendement rights. Assange wasn’t a whistleblower: he found an alternative way to protect whistleblowers by hiding their identity, including voluntarily ignoring it himself.

A lot of Americans are dismissive of the idea that US laws doesn't apply to non-residents, but there’s plenty of examples that will show how absurd it is. Turkey bans saying anything bad about Ataturk: if you did, would you feel like you broke the law? No, because you don’t live there. It might reduce your holiday options but I get the feeling that Assange was never the DisneyWorld kind of guy.

Not just women. They've been a big boon for anyone with certain types of physical disabilities. I have several levels of my spine surgically fused and can't really sit or stand or be still for too long, because my hips lock up and my back seizes on the side where they took the bone graft and pulls me to the left and starts throbbing. That had the effect of making 30 min+ meetings somewhat awkward because I was constantly standing up and walking around. There was also the fact that I need frequent breaks to lay down and decompress a bit through the day.

No longer an issue at all now that I don't have to be in a job where someone expects me to be in one position in one place in one room for hours at a time to get work done. Going for a walk or laying in bed for a meeting is no problem.

It is long past time we actually used the remote communication ability our handheld networking and computing devices have enabled and quit pretending it's still 1960. If ISIS can manage war campaigns over WhatsApp, I think your business can figure out a way to make it work.
Becoming a manager doesn't mean that you no longer are an engineer. That is what engineer lead means, engineers leads the organization rather than people with no technical skills.

They no longer code, but they still take part in technical discussions, so being an engineer is absolutely a part of their job.
Personally, I would not choose to solve a constraint programming problem in Prolog, unless I really needed to use a specific global constraint that is only available in some Prolog engine (such as the geost constraint in SICStus Prolog).

When I need to solve a CP problem, I typically do one of the following

* Write a simple model in MiniZinc. This is great for experimentation and testing different solvers to see which kind of solver might be suitable (different CP solvers, MIP solvers, etc)

* For some cases or if I need to integrate with a larger system I write my code using a library directly, such as Gecode, Choco, or or-tools. Using a system directly has the benefit that it is possible to program a custom search heuristic, which I find is often very useful for solving problems in practice.

* Write a custom algorithm. Sometimes the right answer is to just write some code solving the problem directly.

I find models written in a modeling language such as MiniZinc or in a traditional
Programming language such as C++, Java, or Python to be easier to read and reason about than Prolog programs that solve constraint problems. That is a personal preference, and varies depending on familiarity.
I haven't had much experience with .NET on Visual Studio, but I would say that Jetbrains Rider is probably the best thing you can get for .NET work on Linux.
