I did it myself with some kit bought online for a 2013 (I think it might have actually been specifically an iFixIt kit). Ungluing the battery took all of 15 minutes and the plastic card jiggering was fairly trivial.

I’m quite positive the actual reason for its high difficulty score is that actually reaching the battery basically requires completely dismantling the whole laptop — the battery is under the motherboard, and every little module has to be removed and taken out fully before the motherboard can go. And putting them back in, the connectors are ridiculously small and fiddly.

The battery being glued was completely a non-concern IME.
With a disclaimer for me being employed at Bryntum (and the main author of the Grid component), I still think the chances of getting long term support are better with a paid component from a specialized vendor. Wether you buy Bryntum Grid or AG Grid, there are agreements and such plus the fact that the products are the livelihood of the devs behind them. For the really large vendors though, I guess some of their widgets are to "plug holes" and the mileage may vary...

> And going back to some client rendering enabling features like anti-aliasing.

The xrender extension already supports server side drawing, anti-aliasing, transparency, gradients and so on. If you use for example Cairo with the xrender backend almost everything except the tessellation of splines will be rendered server side and has a rather efficient wire protocol which will be better than even RDP.
If countries put climate action to a simple democratic vote that simple view would make sense.

But since our government organs and parties act as intermediaries, there are severe and opaque bottlenecks in the power chain that middle classes have little chance of controlling - without setting up an entirely separate but just as pervasive means of cooperating. Not likely without near 90% popular agreement.

When powerful interests interfere and disrupt coordinated efforts to solve a problem, it is their moral burden. Not the average persons.

The problem is our system has no mechanisms of systematic accountability for widespread public misinformation campaigns, or limits to political influence hampering progress.

Not sure that the Google developers knew that feature existed. Most people in this comment thread were unaware of this feature too, seems reasonable that the Google developers might not have been aware either.

I like that quote. Good websites do give the best experience a device can handle, rather than cater to what the worst devices are capable of.

Unless the observers' planet also had ancient, non-renewable carbon deposits (which required very specific conditions) then atmospheric pollution might not even be a concept to them.

They might notice a change in our atmosphere's composition, but honestly a 200 ppm to 400 ppm change of some trace gas over the course of two hundred years could have many much simpler explanations than "intelligent life dug up all the carbon and burned it".

Your installation of Windows is that by any chance the installation that came with computer? Or is it a Windows that you have upgraded from a previous version (and perhaps that was upgraded from yet another previous version)?

I never have these slow downs that I read others have. I always do a clean install from a USB stick (including deleting recovery partitions). I do this like once a year or 1 1/2 years when something is being released that is either a new version or what is we used to call a service packs.

Windows sucks at upgrading. There is always something strange going on after upgrading. Things that not happens after a clean install.

If it is looong time since you have performed a clean install, I recommend you to consider doing that.

I still would urge caution before taking any amount of SSRI[1]. They are very useful tools that work well for many people, but some people do get very serious side effects. They can also be difficult to stop, sometimes requiring very slow dose tapering over many months.

In my personal experience from both a multi-year experience with fluoxetine and (~5 years later) a short (~4-weeks-ish? I think?) experience with tramadol, there were serious side effects that lasted many months after I stopped taking the drug. I think I was still getting regular 'brain zaps' for almost a year.

Every medication requires weighing the expected benefits vs the adverser effects and risks. I'm not saying SSRIs/etc are bad. I just urge caution and respecting them like the powerful tools they are. Powerful tools - like SSRIs, opiates, or a table saw - are great if you need them, but you do need to understand them properly or you might loose a finger.

(that said, any SSRI side effects is almost certainly a better option than dying from covid, but... seriously... get vaccinated and do what you can (masks, limiting crowds, etc) so you - and the people you interact with - hopefully don't get covid at all)

Tvrdé y/ý and měkké i/í exist in written form in standard Czech, but they have been pronounced in the same way, softly, across most of the country since the late Middle Ages or so. That is why many pupils struggle with "where to write y and where to write i", because it does not correspond to their daily experience with spoken Czech.

An interesting exception is the region around Ostrava, where "y" remained a clearly different vowel in pronunciation until today.

When looking at the bottom of the article, it seemed the river was quite full in 2019 and in 2021 seems suddenly most of the river is gone.

Is it really fair to blame global warming for this 2 year massive change? I find that hard to believe.

At the bottom of the article it's stated:

> “It is a twice in a century event,” said Sierra, who is an advisor to the Buenos Aires grains exchange, adding that a long-term weather cycle had converged with a double hit from the La Niña phenomenon which lowers precipitation.

So perhaps next year the river could be up at 2019 levels again?
The weird thing is that some things are hilariously complicated in web, but simple in native, and vice versa.

What you described is very easy in eg Qt. You have a bunch of classes representing the table and the contained data, a rendering class etc. that you can extend and override methods easily. Relatively easy, maximum control.

OTOH some years ago (still Qt4 times iirc) I was supposed to add a messaging function to an app that should look like mobile messaging, with those speech bubbles. It was a freaking nightmare to get this past a proof of concept that wouldn't have weird glitches and performance issues if you tried to break it. After two weeks of iterations we just embedded a QWebView and got it working better than ever before within two days, although we felt pretty stupid and defeated for basically pulling in a browser just for that.

Learn how to build on Webex's newest developer framework
For starters, experimental bias isn't really an issue, here... This was an observational study, with crystal clear objective criteria for coding the dependent & independent variables.

A cheap, simple observational study like this is merely a first step. No reasonable expert is claiming that this study proves anything worth making medical policy changes over. This study's sole purpose is to establish whether it's worth investing in further studies, or if we can just shitcan the idea now. Subsequent studies will cost more money, and involve larger samples, better controls, and get a lot more scrutiny from peers.

Time and money are finite resources. You have to have some kind of system for deciding where to spend those resources.

This is how medical science works. It's got a ton of pitfalls, but we still do it this way because so far nobody has come up with a better alternative.
Yep. A lot of the negative comments seem to come from people who haven’t worked on any new technology/language/framework in years.

Here's my 30 Mbps IP over UHF/SHF system. It takes advantage of a little known driver in the Linux media subsystem that exposes the RF link as just another Ethernet interface. Although not shown in the diagram, it also works with IPv6.

Of course, it's a lot more expensive to implement than the article system (and I used some Cadillac components in the test bed). Someday (when the parts shortage is over), I may productize it.

UpWork Q3 2021 Shareholder Letter
Yes it’s free
Sometimes I feel like Microsoft should just put Windows into an image all by itself. One big file (VHD or similar). Then each application gets its own separate image file. After all that, have some kind of funky image mounting thing that merges them together in some filesystem view. Returning us to the good old C drive we know. User data lives separately and politely away from the OS and applications. There might even be a RW image for the OS so thats not even in the OS image itself.

Advantages? Just download the image. Could even delta from old to new in multiple ways. Easy revert as well. Security would then come from the usual deal around privileges but there's the possibility of exotic new approaches. Automatic revert could be a thing as well. OS images could actually have a version. Kind of like a ROM.

Disadvantages? Disk space. Filesystems have come a long way though. Plenty of tricks around that. But I'm sure there are plenty of other downsides I'm sure. Don't corrupt that file.

You can already boot VHD(x?) files stored on, eg C, drive so this isn't actually impossible.

EDIT: These images wouldn't be unpacked on each boot. There would be files inside the image and the image is mounted as a filesystem. This is old tech now in the 2020s and its definitely not exotic.
If images really are too much overhead then change the word "image" to "partition". Or some combination thereof (eg image for each app). But in reality, I'm not really convinced the overhead is really that great. Disk encryption uses significant processing power already so accessing a filesystem from an image isn't that great a leap.
i just googled Russian Volga river and it had dramatic level decrease during 193x into 194x as a result of the 193x drought - similar to the Dust Bowl in the US. NASA has some explanation for the Dust Bowl https://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2004/0319...

Looking into various photos, movies, etc. of 193x it looks to me like it was kind of "sunny" compare to for example very bleak 198x, and it is not surprising - the mid 194x was the warm peak of the 80 years cycle while the 198x were the cold peak (thus for example hit to USSR agriculture in those years which combined with the low oil of the 198x brought the USSR down (and the conditions due to the low peak of the 190x - also pretty bleak years - were a major factor causing the first Russian Revolution in 1905)). The cycle-wise we seems to be coming to the next warm peak which on top of the global warming promises very hot temperatures and droughts for the next decade and even lower water levels for the rivers and the lakes.
> I mean, it's fair to say: "hey, where might this go in the future", but when discussing what this specific proposal is today, I'm suggesting that we have a more factually sound starting point.

Damn you really are pushing for this. I've seen you respond to many people. I think it's critical to think longer term than just the present because precedent is what people like you rely on to talk about the specifics of today.

It's regressive and you're extremely subversive.
As a CTO for a good decade now (mid sized and small companies), I agree. At my previous (big-ish) company I maneuvered myself into a position where, before I left, I largely had to make business decisions and build bridges based on what my engineers told me - that either creates an incidental consensus culture (which the company might not want), or the most persuasive engineer is the de facto CTO. Being able to make up your own mind (and detect BS - our industry is full of it) seems crucial to me for technical leadership.

Nobody says you need to be the best or come up with any solutions yourself, but I do believe it's important to know what's _actually_ going on. What I ended up with is to spend roughly 50% of my time with the code base and fellow developers. People management, hiring and all the other misc management topics are important too, but they can easily consume all of your work time and then some if you don't timebox them (forcing you to delegate), in my experience.
Literally everything you've said is is just patently false, and betrays a such severe lack of any sort of knowledge or understanding about the subject matter that one can only assume bad faith, or else that you're an object lesson in the failure of the US education system.
Whenever it happens it’s actually a good foundation as it still does a lot of boilerplate
Sure thing. I can't share any of my employer's schematics, but here's one that's drafted in a similar style:

https://digilent.com/reference/_media/reference/programmable...

There's no hierarchy to the schematic. Pages are inserted/deleted in a freeform way, the same as you'd do with a Word document. Reference designators are in a global namespace, and so are net names.

It feels like it's a pretty common drafting style, at least in my corner of the world. I've worked at two companies that use this style, and I also see it a fair amount on reference-designs like the linked example.
The study actually confirmed that the older inhabitants from North Xinjiang (Dzungarian Basin) appear to be of Indo-European origin, mixed a little with locals.

It is possible that these were those who brought the Tocharian languages in the region.

The Tarim mummies from South Xinjiang did not look like the current population of this region and they had various resemblances, e.g. in clothes, with some Indo-European populations, so some believed that they might have been the ancestors of the later Tocharians.

The study has shown that they did not have genetic links either with their Indo-European neighbors or with the modern population.

Nonetheless, this does not contradict the fact that the old Tarim inhabitants seem to have been influenced culturally by the Indo-Europeans, who at that time were close to them (e.g. in pastoral & clothing techniques).
Julia is a language and its implementation.

Well that's the thing; I do keep pretty well up with public affairs, and from what I can tell, most of these ideas come from academia, but without much rigor or data to support these new taxation plans, and the legislators who support them do so for largely un-scientific reasons (e.g. has a good hook for a title).

So when I say this all seems slapdash, I mean that I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the way by which these taxation plans are coming out of the woodwork. Feels like an episode of West Wing, the one with the Cartographers for Social Equity.
Intuitively i feel like it makes sense though. The k in O(n^k) roughly corresponds with how many times you loop through the data. Its really hard to imagine a useful algorithm where you need to loop through the data exactly 153 times but then stop there. Either you're going to need to grow the number of loops with input size (be exponential) or surely you got all the data you needed the first 14 times you went through the data.

I guess that's not really very rigorus it just feels intuitively right. I just can't imagine a system where you always gain new information regardless of input size on loop iteration 561, but never on iteration 562.

Its somewhat similar to how in pure math problems where it seems kind of suspicious if the answer is something like exactly 8.3781 and the problem statement didn't have any related constants in it. Integers are expected, Irrational numbers are expected, decimals with exactly 4 digits sound suspicious.

Definitely seems a bit disappointing that 5-6 years after the original Pi Zero there's still only 512MB of RAM. Regardless, I'm excited to see what new projects will become feasible with the extra CPU performance.

I just finished watching your YouTube video, so thanks for providing all of this insight. A new Pi Zero will certainly make small handheld emulators a lot more promising...
I’m not sure I understand that point of view though. Copilot just suggests relatively short snippets, it’s not copying large chunks of your library or products. If you truly have an innovative algorithm and you don’t want people to use it like that, you’ll have to go the patent route

> So, your X server is really effectively nothing more than a shitty Wayland compositor.

No it is a much better Wayland compositor because unlike Xwayland it provides full backwards compatibility. You even need much less boiler plate code to get a file descriptor on X11 as compared to Wayland.

> Having the X server, window manager, and compositing engine in separate processes introduces latency due to context switches on the hot path.

This is only makes a difference for rare events like moving/resizing windows. For static window positions it is the exact same path as Wayland. In practice Wayland had historically even much worse latency than X11. This has only been fixed a few years ago. Latency has low priority for Wayland developers. And as such Wayland does not beat uncomposited X11 in latency to this day.
